Finding relief after being treated for schizophrenia, and now able to fit in with his community, Clayton says he’s trying to help others on the street.

Mental health and the evolution of treatment

‘I don’t want to relive that nightmare’ Kevin Diakiw

O Black Press

f the 30 or so people bundled up outside the food van in North Surrey Monday night, it’s estimated the vast majority are dealing with some kind of mental-health issue. But almost none waiting for the nightly meal provided by NightShift Street Ministries admit it to a stranger. An exception is the 55-year-old man with the red ball cap and clear chestnut eyes standing back and watching over the crowd. Clayton is here for the food, but more than that, he’s here for the fellowship. The longtime sufferer of schizophrenia finds people in the lineup with similar conditions who accept him as is. He is stabilized now, but he remembers with frightening clarity the hallucinations that forced him into a life of isolation. At age 21, he began hearing voices of demons and angels, while feeling ghostly hands patting his body down. It wasn’t until Clayton was 42 that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and it’s only been the last few years that he has found relief with the right medications. It wasn’t easy getting here. He was afraid to seek help because of his tremendous fear of medical professionals. He was worried he’d be

heavily drugged or locked up in a psych ward. Asked to elaborate on what it was like for him living with his disease, he stops. “I don’t want to relive that nightmare,” urging an end to the line of questioning. Now that he’s stable and able to fit in with the community, he’s been trying to help others on the street. He thinks the province needs to spend more money and resources on outreach for those who are sick and counselling for people seeking help. It’s those things that helped Clayton ignore his demons and finally reach out to medical professionals for the help he needed. ••• In 1841, a 39-year-old teacher walked into a Massachusetts jail and offered to teach English. Her subsequent discovery there changed her life – and eventually changed the lives of thousands of others. When Dorothea Dix asked authorities why the mentally ill were housed alongside hardened criminals in unheated, unfurnished and foul-smelling cells she was told “the insane don’t feel heat or cold.” The war on the poor treatment of people with mental illness was on for the daughter of a Methodist preacher. › see page 4

SCRAMBLE CONTEST

HARD to HELP

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal by Carol Berner, who was convicted in the 2008 drunk-driving death of toddler Alexa Middelaer. Berner, found guilty in July 2010 of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, had applied to the country’s highest court to reverse the conviction. Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court of Canada announced Berner’s application was “dismissed without costs.” Last November, the B.C. Court of Appeal had dismissed Berner’s case there. Carol Berner Berner’s lawback in court yers argued the trial judge had erred in finding the destruction of Berner’s Oldsmobile by ICBC, before the defence could have it independently inspected for mechanical defects didn’t infringe on her right to make a full defence. They also argued Berner was found guilty despite a lack of evidence of impairment, and that she had not been advised of her right to counsel before her taperecorded statement was taken. On May 17, 2008, four-year-old Alexa – who attended preschool in Crescent Beach – was feeding a horse in Ladner, when Berner struck and killed her. Alexa’s aunt was also seriously injured. Berner was sentenced to 2½ years in prison and banned from driving for five years, but has so far served just days in custody. Today, the B.C. Court of Appeal is to hear Berner’s sentencing appeal.

They may have more success in stopping the coal port at Fraser Surrey Docks, although that plan is well advanced. The Texada Island transloading point may be where they have the most success. Islanders are notoriously protective of their environment, far more than many mainlanders, and the stop to load freighters there seems completely unnecessary anyway. However, in the bigger picture, both Canada and the U.S. need to look carefully at coal mining and exports. Most of the coal hauled from the mines in eastern B.C. to Roberts Bank is for coking purposes, and is needed in the production of steel. However, coal which is burned to generate electricity can easily be replaced by commodities such as natural gas. It has a far smaller carbon footprint. It would be nice to see environmentalists speaking up in favour of the LNG plants proposed for the B.C. north coast, because that gas could displace much of the coal that China now burns, and have a dramatic effect on greenhouse gas emissions.

Four parties naming names prior to April 26 deadline

Candidates gear up for provincial vote Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The race is heating up on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, as the ranks continue to form in all three South Surrey ridings for the 2013 provincial election, which is to be held May 14. Here’s a breakdown of how each riding is shaping up so far:

Surrey-White Rock Incumbent Gordon Hogg (BC Liberal MLA since 1997) will now face two familiar challengers: the NDP’s Susan Keeping and the Green Party’s Don Pitcairn, whose

candidacy was made public this week. Community activist Pitcairn – most recently in the news for creating and distributing T-shirts satirizing the City of Surrey – ran for MLA in Surrey-White Rock in the last provincial election in 2009. Keeping ran federally for the NDP in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding in 2011. No BC Conservative candidate has been announced for the riding. Keeping formally opened her campaign office in White Rock Monday, receiving endorsements from Peter Holt, director of the Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Society and former CEO of the Surrey Board of

Trade; Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government Employees Union; and former Surrey Mayor Bob Bose.

Surrey-Cloverdale BC Liberal Stephanie Cadieux, minister of children and family development and current MLA for Surrey-Panorama, is nominated to fill the seat vacated by MLA Kevin Falcon, who is not seeking re-election. So far, the only challenger there is the NDP’s Harry Kooner, although the BC Conservatives and the Green Party have said they will announce candidates for the riding by the end of this month.

Surrey-Panorama Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt (who has served 23 years on council) has been named BC Liberal candidate, after the party’s original candidate, Sukh Dhaliwal, withdrew when it was revealed that a company for which he was responsible had failed to file income taxes. Facing Hunt for what appears to be a hotly contested seat are the NDP’s Amrik Mahil, BC Conservative Kevin Rakhra and Green Party candidate Sara Sharma. The deadline to declare candidacy for the election is April 15 for incumbent candidates, and April 26 for new ones.

April reopening eyed

Zellers blaze probed as arson Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

A mattress fire at Zellers in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre last Thursday – which prompted the evacuation and temporary closure of the mall – has now been deemed suspicious, following an investigation by Surrey Fire Services. The file has been turned over to the Surrey RCMP, the city’s deputy fire Chief Jon Caviglia told Peace Arch News Wednesday. While the fire was confined to a mattress display, there was considerable smoke damage to Zellers, Caviglia said. The department store is scheduled to re-open in early April, according to a spokesperson with the Hudson’s Bay Company. “We’re still assessing (the damage),” Tiffany Bourré said Tuesday, “but (early April) is the goal.” A customer-service representative at the shopping centre had told PAN Monday that the store “will be closed for months,” but Bourré said that is not the case. As a result of the fire, the entire mall – with the exception of PriceSmart grocery store – was evacuated and closed for the rest of the day. By 4 p.m. Thursday, Surrey Fire Services members, as well as employees from a restoration company, had set up large fans in the shopping centre’s entryways in order to clear out the smoke. Last summer, it was announced that 189 Zellers stores in Canada were sold to the U.S.-based Target chain, and 64 that were not sold would be shut down. The Zellers at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in South Surrey was initially scheduled to close March 16, but HBC then chose – along with a few other locations – to keep a revised version of Zellers open. Bourré said last week’s fire has not affected the company’s plan to keep the South Surrey location open.

South Surrey and White Rock commuters routinely face backups along Highway 99 at the George Massey Tunnel between Delta and Richmond.

George Massey crossing destined to be upgraded, replaced or augmented

Five choices put forth for tunnel vision Adrian MacNair Black Press

The province has listed five possible options to upgrade or replace the 54-year-old George Massey Tunnel, ranging from a new bridge or tunnel, to not adding any capacity at all. All of the options to build a new tunnel or bridge would include HOV lanes, bicycle and pedestrian access, and improvements to local highways and interchanges that connect with Steveston Road in Richmond and Highway 17 in Delta. The province has also identified five goals for the project, based on the feedback from public consultations that took place in late 2012. Those goals include reducing traffic congestion and commuter times, improving access to local businesses and improving traffic safety and emergency-response capabilities. The latter goal is an important one for Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, who has seen her share of “nasty accidents” in the tunnel over the years. “The other major reason I’m not particularly enthralled with another tunnel idea is we have seen firsthand some of the things that have

The options 1. Maintain and upgrade the existing tunnel with no increase in capacity. 2. Replace tunnel with a new bridge in the same location. 3. Replace tunnel with a new tunnel alongside the existing one. 4. Add a new bridge or tunnel alongside the existing one and keep the existing tunnel. 5. Build a new bridge or tunnel from No. 8 Road to the new South Fraser Perimeter Road, and keep the existing tunnel.

happened in that tunnel in the way of emergencies,” she said. Jackson is not in favour of another tunnel, partly because it’s below sea level and could be logistically difficult to engineer, but also because when accidents do happen it can leave commuters stranded in a claustrophobic setting. She said she favours a new bridge with better transit capabilities.

“I don’t think the status quo is going to work for anybody.” The Massey Tunnel is already operating well beyond its intended capacity. Built in 1959 for $25 million, it was originally intended to connect rural Delta with Richmond, previously only accessible by ferry. As many as 80,000 vehicles use the tunnel each day, and alternating counterflow lanes have attempted to ease gridlock at peak times. The province announced plans to replace the tunnel in September and began holding public consultations shortly after. Premier Christy Clark has already warned that the build-out for such a project is still about 10 years away. Richmond city council came out against one option that would include a new crossing of the Fraser River at No. 8 Road in Richmond. “The city’s official community plan calls for the protection of existing farmlands and that any improvements to provincial highways in Richmond should occur within existing corridors such as Highway 99,” said Ted Townsend, Richmond’s senior manager of corporate communications.

The closure of Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital is felt in the streets of Surrey, social-service providers say.

The evolution of mental treatment › from page 1 Dix took the matter through the courts, and after several battles, won her case – forcing the institution to provide far better living conditions for the mentally ill. Then she took on several other jails, waging, and winning, the same battle. Her work created a new awareness of mental illness and eventually spawned the creation of mental asylums – facilities with pastoral settings where people could get treatment. Those asylums were created all across the U.S.; the model was brought to Canada in the 1850s. The first Canadian “lunatic asylums” were created to serve those in the Eastern provinces. By the turn of the 20th century, asylums had opened in the West, including Coquitlam’s Riverview Hospital in 1913, which served the entire Lower Mainland for almost a century. It was felt by psychiatrists of the day that well-run facilities could dramatically improve the curerates of those with mental illness. There were successes, but many asylums were criticized over controversial treatments, such as electroconvulsive therapy and surgical lobotomies. By the 1970s, several psychotropic drugs had been developed, allowing many of the mentally ill to be medicated and treated in the community. The move was politically popular, because it was perceived to be kinder and was, as a whole, more economical than institutionalization. Within a decade, most of the asylums had been shut down. In the 1980s, services started ramping down at Riverview, and by 2012, it was closed. The sprawling site is now slated for a housing development. During its 30 years of being phased out, Riverview’s large patient population was relocated into the community – some went to group homes, others went to assisted-living arrangements, and many were left to care for themselves. For the latter group, critics say there was little or no professional followup, meaning they didn’t receive the care they required, including monitoring of much-needed medications. They languished and became the homeless, addicted, and poverty-stricken that are now an unfortunate part of the cityscape. ••• NightShift Street Ministries has fed the hungry every night for nine years in Whalley.

MaryAnne Connor’s ministry feeds the hungry every night in Whalley. clients have mental-health issues. “At least 60 to 80 per cent of the people up here are suffering from mental illnesses,” she says. “And the bulk of those are also suffering from addiction.” Social-service providers throughout Surrey often point to the closure of Riverview, and the subsequent lack of community supports, as the reason homeless shelters, food lineups and many Surrey streets are largely filled with those struggling with mental illness. While the province does provide some group homes and assisted living, it’s clearly not enough, according to Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who has fought for more social infrastructure for 24 years. The nature of mental illness complicates matters, she says. Many people without the ability to take their medications on a regular basis are choosing to be without the necessary supports. “By legislation, people with mental illness have the ability to make their own decisions on where they want to live,” Villeneuve says. One in five of those with a mental illness slip into substance abuse, become disorderly or engage in criminal activity, and end up in the justice system. Many who go through court are re-institutionalized – this time in jail – bringing mentalhealth care back to where it was 170 years ago, before Dix turned it on its ear. According to 2010 Finances Fact Sheet produced by the B.C. Alliance on Mental Health and Addiction, there are about 136,000 adults in B.C. with severe addiction issues and/or mental illness. Of those, up to 15,500 are homeless and another 26,500 are at imminent risk of homelessness. Access to treatment can be hard to find. Surrey’s Dr. Caroline Ferris, who mainly treats people with

Hogg should take a stand

oters on the Semiahmoo Peninsula don’t need a program to tell Gordon Hogg from many of his BC Liberal colleagues. While the party has been rocked by scandals, misjudgments and embarrassments, the Surrey-White Rock MLA has emerged relatively unscathed in his most recent term of office. Indeed, he has maintained his reputation as a man of principle, and been one of the few members of the besieged caucus to raise serious concerns on behalf of his constituents rather than adhere rigidly to an apparent BC Liberal mantra of see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil (unless, of course, it involves pointing a finger at the NDP). But distancing himself from the egregious acts of others cannot be seen as the same thing as taking a stand and earning the mandate he has received for the last 16 years. In the case of the ethnic-vote scandal revolving around formerly high-placed aides to Premier Christy Clark, Hogg has endorsed recommendations of deputy minister John Dyble’s review aimed at enforcing a proper separation between partisan politics and government work. As caucus chair, Hogg conducted his own review into caucus staff’s role in developing the Draft Multicultural Strategic Plan to woo ethnic voters, and found, like Dyble, that lines were crossed by Clark’s then-deputy chief of staff and others. Hogg has also, properly, expressed outrage at what he sees as a violation of the correct political process in creating a strategy that many consider a new low in cynical political opportunism. But while Hogg has said he would welcome an independent review of his caucus’ activities – provided it include the NDP caucus, as well – he has stopped short of calling for one. Further, while Dyble’s report did not exonerate Clark from any involvement in the strategy (other than by her own account), Hogg has signalled his willingness to give the premier a pass on this sorry mess. Voters – who’ve had ample opportunity to observe Clark’s conspicuously opportunistic, photo-op-driven politicking style, her propensity for surrounding herself with ham-fisted co-workers and her predisposition to duck responsibility – may be less generous. As Clark seems to be doing the work of campaigners from other parties in ensuring her own political demise, maybe it’s time for Hogg to consider her a member of the Opposition – and publicly insist she adhere to a higher standard of political behaviour.

Zero, on the other hand, has far fewer entryways, and only on the north side. A single parallel road would address access and, for safety purposes, separate the homesites from the high-speed traffic. On the southern side, all that would be needed is a high fence to prevent wildlife collisions, while at the same time make our American friends happy that their country would be more secure from terrorists, drug runners and enterprising Canadians trying to sneak through the berry fields to buy cheap gas. This route would also provide better access to the border crossings at both Aldergrove and Pacific Highway for both cross-border shoppers and commercial transport. And to avoid screwing up the entries to the crossings the new route could swing up from 0 to 8 Avenue just west of the Aldergrove crossing, while providing an even more seamless route to Abbotsford Airport. Avoiding a traffic mess at the Pacific border crossing would simply mean rerouting just east of 176 Avenue, again up to 8 Avenue, to link up with that recently upgraded roadway to Highway 99. Simple, smooth and fairly easily accomplished, and at far less cost than re-whacking 16 Avenue into a sort-of freeway.

The price of representation Editor: Re: Councillors seek raise, March 14. I am not remotely astonished at the amount of work that goes into fulfilling the role of councillor. It is a time-consuming job. Having said that, White Rock is a small city of about 20,000, with six councillors and very little commercial/industrial tax base. The residential tax bill is likely 30-40 per cent greater within the City of White Rock than just outside it in South Surrey. The wages paid to the councillors probably are in no way high, relative to the effort expended earning them. That appears to be the price of living in the City of White Rock – high taxes for the residents, low wages for the council. If the council was able to find a way to cut taxes, I would be inclined to raise their wages a commensurate amount. Judging from the number of candidates in each election since I have been here, for the last 10 years, attracting good candidates does not appear to be a problem. I would be surprised if many councillors did not realize the financial sacrifice they were taking on when they left the private sector to become a public servant. Bob Holden, White Rock

would appreciate extending maternity/paternity leave to three years. Many countries in Europe have it, so I can’t be that crazy to propose this. I didn’t have a conundrum when my babies turned one – time is short. So I want my days to be filled with hugs, kisses and love. Sure, it’s tight on one income, but – guess what – we’ve tightened our belts. We keep calm, carry on and raise our own children. Martina Rosini, Surrey n In response to Jerry Steinberg’s letter, children are our future, all of ours. The birth rate in Canada has fallen dramatically over the past decades, and B.C. and Canada need children to grow up strong and become productive members of our

society who will pay taxes. Women who work today contribute billions of dollars a year to our tax base. They and their children deserve a quality child-care system, and I for one am prepared to support it through my taxes. Sheila Davidson, Surrey

Working world better in past Editor: I am 87. I think we old-timers had a better life in the working world than they have today. Our employers treated us with more respect. Our wives did not have to work. We did not farm our children out. The boss shook your

hand and said “thank you.” Do you not agree with me? Ralph E. Johnson, Surrey

Clothes call at crosswalks Editor: Dear pseudo-rich of White Rock. Just because you have more money than me only means you have more money than me. It does not mean you’re more important than me. Please do not try to run me over on the crosswalks and intersections uptown just because I am not wearing a tuxedo and top hat. I obey light signals properly, as you should also. Thank you very much.

Parenting ideas affect the future Editor: Re: Solutions for parents who work, March 14 letters. The political staffer that wrote Families Minister Stephanie Cadieux’s response didn’t understand the column by Melissa Smalley (No easy solution for childcare conundrum, March 7). The writer of the original article faced a conundrum – to return to work or to stay at home. Cadieux’s answer didn’t deal with that conundrum. Her answer felt like a short media release about a cheap daycare. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one day the government recognized the value that stay-at-home parents bring to the table? After all, we’re raising your future voters. Babies want parents, not strangers at daycare. I’m sure many parents

Letter-writer Anita Brunet agrees with Gordon and Virgina Bylo that the system fails some with mental-health issues.

Families at a loss of how to help Editor: Re: Systemic failures, March 14. I applaud parents Gordon and Virginia Bylo for speaking out about their son, Brian, and his battle with mental illness. My sister was misdiagnosed many years ago as schizophrenic and later diagnosed as bipolar. She, too, has been in and out of psychiatric wards where the system is unable to keep her long enough to make a difference.

Too often she is released after only 24 hours. Like Brian, she – along with a large percentage of people suffering from mental illness – suffers from an addiction; in her case it is alcohol. Recovery centres will not take her due to her bouts of psychosis. We are at a loss as to how to help her, and I hope stories such as the Bylos’ will help to get people talking more openly about it, which in turn may help this failed system get the attention it so deserves.

Newton food bank clients are served by the Surrey Food Bank, she said. Sources’ food bank is only accessible to clients who live south of 40 Avenue. “We would never move the food bank out of the White Rock/South Surrey area, because that’s who we serve,” she said “The whole idea was we would not be displaced.” Darrell noted the move will also mean better air quality for staff and clients; and, getting away from the median on 24 Avenue.

donations,” Darrell said. “It’s just not as accessible.” Owning the food bank site also means more stability for those who depend on it, she said. The food bank serves about 560 people every week. There is Newton news for Sources, however. Programs for women such as the society’s employment and advocacy services are being centralized there, in a building near 137 Street and 72 Avenue. Legal services formerly offered at Sources’ Women’s Place in South Surrey will also be offered from the Newton office – but still available in South Surrey. “It’s centralizing and putting everything in one building, so we’re excited about that,” Darrell said. “Everything will be housed in one building.”

Sources’ food bank is moving. Denise Darrell – Sources’ director of women, seniors and community services – confirmed last week that the organization has secured a new facility for its Food Bank Resource Centre, currently located at 5-15515 24 Ave. But clients need not worry about having to travel far from the beaten path to find the new digs, Darrell said. They’re less than a block away, in a two-storey building at 2343 156 St. Sources takes possession on April 1, and will begin operations at the new site in July. “It’s exciting,” Darrell told Peace Arch News of the development. In addition to giving the program much-needed extra space, the new site means the facility will no longer be at the mercy of a landlord – Sources has bought the property, and will be launching a capital campaign to raise $500,000 to support the purchase and renovations. In addition to the food-distribution program, the building will house Sources’ rent bank – which offers short-term loans to those at risk of eviction – and help with such things as income tax. News of a move was announced at White Rock City Hall on March 11, during the evening’s council meeting – but Darrell was

Jackie Vuilleumier and her family are working with a number of groups to raise awareness about the struggles of diagnosing children with autism. The mom of three and husband David Nunn, discovered son Jason, 3, (above) was autistic last September, and have since held a fundraiser, bringing in $1,000, for an autism support group.

Bringing awareness and support to families living with autism

South Surrey parents strive to ‘pay it forward’ Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

pinning her two-year-old son in her arms, Jackie Vuilleumier looked into his eyes and smiled as he laughed. As quickly as her smile had appeared on her face, it disappeared. She began to track the movement of her son’s eyes, turning him in a circle to see where his gaze would land. When she turned him to the left, his blue eyes would look to the right, focusing on where he had been, rather than where he was going. For some mothers, this action would seem odd but may not raise any concern. But for Vuilleumier, who had worked with an autistic child after emigrating from South Africa, this action was a form of stimming (self-stimulation) – an indicator of autism. “I remember I wanted to vomit. I just felt so sick,” Vuilleumier recalled. “I knew when he did that, what that meant based on my experience. Stimming is such a clear and definite sign of autism.” Further indicators – such as

Jason not speaking and other occurrences of stimming – had the South Surrey mom rushing her then two-year-old son to the doctor last September. Initially, the doctor was unwilling to diagnose Jason with autism, suggesting it could be a hearing issue. Vuilleumier was referred to a speech pathologist, who noted that Jason did in fact demonstrate 12 of 18 markers for autism. Despite the speech pathologist’s findings, Vuilleumier’s husband, David Nunn, still refused to believe his son had the neuraldevelopment disorder due to his experience with his nephew, who was a low-functioning teen with autism. “I thought Jackie was crazy the whole time. I thought of my nephew, then of Jason, and I just said, ‘no way,’” Nunn said. “I didn’t realize that autism is a spectrum, with low-functioning kids and high-functioning.” “They’re like snowflakes, no two children have the same symptoms,” Vuilleumier added. After returning to the doctor with the speech pathologist’s

findings, Vuilleumier was given the through similar situations. referral to see a child psychologist. “You go to the meetings and you However, upon inquiring at get involved.

and Nunn admitted that Jason – now 3½ – is still too young to determine exactly where on the spectrum he lands. However, both are adamant about one thing: the system needs to change for parents who require a diagnosis through the public health-care system. Following their agonizing experience to simply get Jason diagnosed – before treatment could even start – they began to wonder about those who are unable to give up on the public route. “The fact of the matter is, the kids who are able to get the help they need are the children of affluent, well-educated white parents,” Nunn said. “What infuriates us is that the fact is a lot of people can’t afford, for the sake of their child, to wait two years for a diagnosis, and they’re cut off from the private route because the average cost to get a diagnosis is approximately $3,000. “There are a lot of young families who have an autistic child, and all they can do is wait for two years. › see page 12

People came to our rescue, so now we want to pay it forward.” For more on ABA groups, visit www. abasupportnetwork.com

Weed Control Act leads to increase in invasive plants

Foreign invasion our doing B enviro notes

Ron Wiseman

growing native shrubs or trees. Excavation of each central root mass followed by seeding or planting is usually successful. However, blackberry bushes provide safe habitat for small birds and animals and produce good crops of edible berries for wildlife and humans, so controlled management is preferable to eradication. Japanese knotweed is another plant introduced as an ornamental that can become a serious pest, difficult to control and hard to eradicate; even small portions of roots can quickly develop into healthy plants. Its tough roots can grow through old concrete or asphalt, and the bamboo-like stems decompose slowly, building up a layer of leaves and stems, which inhibits other plant growth. Since control is far from easy, it’s better not to introduce such invasive species at all. Small seedlings can be up-rooted by hand, established plants call for thorough digging and excavation. In both cases, plant material should be completely dried, preferably burned, before being disposed of. Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

Stepping up to lend a hand More than 200 Peninsula residents stepped up to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation March 8. The third annual Step to the Beat fundraiser held at Crown Palace Banquet Hall aims to bring increased awareness of heart disease to the South Asian community. So far, the fundraiser – organized by volunteers Lucky Deol, Jas Gurm and Navi Khatkar – has collected $8,500 for the foundation. Organizers are still tallying this year’s donations. All funds from the event will go directly to the foundation. For more information, visit www.steptothebeat.org

Vitamin C and Lysine powder help prevent heart attacks by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninetynine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack. Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!

ASK THE DENTIST!

Dental Solutions for OSA and Snoring Question: My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snoring is so loud that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeping more in the guest room than our bedroom! It is now so bad that he is waking up at night gasping for breath! I finally got him to our family Doctor who diagnosed him with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Problem is he hates the CPAP treatment and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear the device. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really frustrated and worried about his health. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that there may be a Dental solution to this problemâ&#x20AC;Ś.can you please help us? Answer: Yes, I can help. The answer lies in the use of a very special oral appliance called a SomnoDentÂŽ which is an ideal alternative to CPAP therapy for patients who suffer from snoring and mild to moderate obstructive Sleep Apnea (â&#x20AC;&#x153;OSAâ&#x20AC;?). OSA is a serious medical condition in which breathing is interrupted by a partial blockage in your airway, causing you to stop breathing repeatedly throughout the night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; literally starving your brain and body of vital oxygen. The result of Sleep Apnea is a severe stress being placed on your body, especially on your cardiovascular system and metabolism. As a result, Sleep Apnea is frequently associated with the following medical conditions: t IFBSU EJTFBTF PS JSSFHVMBS IFBSU CFBU t IJHI CMPPE QSFTTVSF t XFJHIU HBJO t IFBEBDIFT t ESPXTJOFTT t EJBCFUFT t MPXFSFE MJCJEP t NFNPSZ MPTT t EFQSFTTJPO t FSFDUJMF EZT GVODUJPO t TUSPLF BOE FWFO EFBUI Although sleep apnea can affect anyone at any age, it is usually males and females between the ages of 45-65. Due to a lack

of public awareness, the vast majority of sufferers remain undiagnosed and therefore untreated despite the fact that the disorder can have serious medical consequences. The SomnoDentÂŽÂ isÂ a custom made removeable oral appliance worn during sleep to increase the upperÂ airwayÂ volume and reduceÂ collapsibility by advancing the mandible. SomnoDentÂŽ devicesÂ maximizeÂ patientÂ comfort and compliance and have exceptional levels of compliance 88%, treatment efficacy 91% and acceptance 96% of patients with OSA compared to CPAP compliance rates of less than 40%. When a patient wears a Somnodent Oral Appliance the effect is much like protruding your lower jaw â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because the tongue is attached via several muscle groups to the lower jaw, as the jaw moves forward, so does the tongue. This forward tongue posture allows for increased patency of the airway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bigger breathing hole. Health Benefits â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â SomnoDentÂŽÂ treatmentÂ has also been shown to have a clinically significant impact in reducing patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blood pressure and has been predicted to reduce the risk of stroke. In addition, this blood pressure reduction was apparent in the early morning, which is the time of peak risk for acute myocardial infarction. Clinically Proven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 14 independent studies and over 12 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of research demonstrate SomnoDentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficacy and significant clinical benefits. The updated practice parameters of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine rec-

ommend the use of oral devices such as the SomnoDentÂŽ for mild-to-moderate OSA (AHI < 25), or for patients with severe OSA who are either unable to tolerate CPAP or refuse treatment with CPAP.

STOP LOSING SLEEP OVER SLEEP APNEA with a Mandibular Advancement Appliance called SomnoDentÂŽ And when you wear a SomnoDentÂŽ that has been adjusted by a Neuromuscular Dentist who uses TENS and jaw tracking technology, the patient wakes up with less muscle stiffness and has a better overall tongue position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which helps with a more comfortable fitting appliance. If you or a loved one snore or have been diagnosed with OSA please give our office a call today and book a consultation with an experienced Neuromuscular Dentist! Find out how you maybe able to get a SomnoDentÂŽ covered by your extended medical benefits.

uestion: I entered into a business with a partner and it went well for quite a while, but it gradually went downhill until we closed its doors. A lawsuit was started against us both as the proprietors of the business resulting in a judgment against us. I am prepared to pay my half by re-mortgaging my house, but my partner has no assets and can’t pay his half. The judgment creditor says he wants his whole judgment from me. Surely he can’t get it all from me, can he?

nswer: Yes. The judgment creditor can get the whole judgment from you. A judgment is “joint and several” and the creditor can force one party to pay the whole amount. You are entitled to recover from your partner “his share” that you paid, but from what you say, recovery is unlikely. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

Book by former White Rock resident recalls years spent in Yemen

Author shares memories of Middle East Jennifer Lang

Black Press

eter Twele never meant to travel, much less spend 11 years in the Middle East. But the former White Rock resident has learned that opportunity can present itself in unexpected places. Twele was barely out of high school, in his early 20s, when a friend said he was planning a trip to Europe. “I had no desire to travel, but I decided to join him,” says Twele, recalling how the pair backpacked across the continent, eventually landing in Israel, where the once-reluctant tourist found himself living on a communal ❝We’re no different in farming settlement for some ways... five months. The experience changed it’s just more him, igniting a keen complicated.❞ interest in the Middle East, driving him to Peter Twele study linguistics when he returned home. It’s an area of study that came naturally to Twele, whose first language is German. He was working on his master’s degree at the University of Texas in 1984 when another unexpected offer came his way – a research position in Jordan. It meant he could learn Arabic, which he picked up while living among the the nomadic Bedouin. Nearly three decades later, the father of three – who now lives in Cloverdale with wife Hazel – recently released a self-published travel memoir, Rubbing Shoulders in Yemen.

Contributed photos

Peter Twele has published a travel memoir about the several years he spent in Yemen. The book explores his time conducting research in what was then North Yemen, a country on the southwestern part of the Arabian peninsula, to villages that weren’t under government control and few outsiders had seen. Well beyond the typical touristic frontier, it was a region not covered in guidebooks, a land of dangerous roads, remote villages and men carrying rifles. In those days, it wasn’t possible to travel outside of the capital city without a permit. Twele was issued an official document that gave him open access, and he took full advantage. While he’s returned to Yemen many times,

his book focuses on four months in 1987, when he conducted sociolinguistic research sponsored by various institutions. He’d arrive in villages unannounced, yet he was always welcomed and treated with respect. “I went to a couple of villages where they had never seen anybody in pants before. I was just this guy from Mars showing up. It was more fascinating for them than it was for me.” Looking back, he marvels at the risks he weighed and is still amazed to have found such hospitality in far-flung locales and from the most outwardly hostile-seeming of hosts – gun-wielding rebels.

Twele, who’s taught at Trinity Western University and at the University of Texas in Arlington, penned the book at the urging of his children, who had heard a lot of his stories but wanted more. He suspects his eldest daughter hasn’t been able to finish reading the book because it’s too upsetting. “We were in some pretty dangerous situations. There are things that she didn’t know.” He found reliving those memories after 30 years difficult work, too, replaying instances where his life had been in jeopardy. “It scared me. I was sort of sweating at times. It was potentially quite dangerous.” Twele says he’s spent years building bridges of understanding between the Middle East and the West. What’s stayed with him is the warmth and generosity of the people who welcomed him into their villages and kept him safe. He remains grateful. “Part of my writing now is also for people to realize, there are a lot of radicals, but most people want to get on with life, just like here,” he says. “We’re no different in some ways. They want a job and have a family and want to provide for them. It’s just more complicated.” More recent years have been eventful in Yemen: civil war, unification, the rise of Al Quaeda, mass protests and the Arab Spring. “It’s chaos. It’s a mess,” he says regretfully, because he’d love to go back. He’s now working on Iraq on their Doorstep, a new book relating his and Hazel’s experiences in the Middle East before, during and after the Gulf war in the ’90s.

Surrey non-profit society purchases thrift store

Mission finds home The Surrey Urban Mission Society (SUMS) has a new home. After eight months of hunting, SUMS has purchased the Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store at 10776 King George Blvd. The sale was finalized last Thursday afternoon. The 7,200-square-foot building will be in SUMS’ possession March 28. From there, the society will be racing to bring the building up to the condition where it can be used. It will require the installation of

washrooms and some interior walls, as well as a new roof. But it will belong to SUMS, which was the best of all options, according to executive director Jonquil Hallgate. The purchase brings an end to the months of uncertainty for the nonprofit society as it scrambled to find a new home, after the lease at its current location, 13388 104 Ave., ran out last year and part of the current property was sold. -Kevin Diakiw

The Crawl gaining high-profile TV and film exposure

Trio keeps rocking for ‘love of music’ Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

he riff-driven rock of The Crawl – including the bass and vocals of South Surrey’s Brian Sanheim – will hit Vancouver venue Falconetti’s East Side Grill (1812 Commercial Dr.) on Friday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. The Morgan Heights resident and his Vancouver bandmates, guitarist-vocalist Kirk Adair Douglas and drummer Ron Tucker, will be playing songs from their third full-length CD, Nine, including the first single, Dream To Fly. The song is also featured on their website in a video directed and recorded by Sanheim’s daughter, Jodie. The upcoming appearance at Falconetti’s is not the first public hearing for the group or its members by any means – in addition to live gigs – the band averages one a month – The Crawl’s accessible, feel-good brand of rock ‘n’ roll has found highprofile TV and film exposure. It’s not a bad place to be in a shaky economic climate when venues aren’t likely to spend much time or energy promoting the acts they book, and radio stations feel constrained to play it safe with copycat formats, Sanheim said. For The Crawl, it doesn’t hurt that Douglas (formerly with Swank) is an engineer/producer and owner of Vancouver recording studio Soundlounge productions, or that he and Tucker (formerly of Blake Havard) have been on the same musical wavelength since they were teenagers in Edmonton. “Ron and Kirk went to school together, but after they graduated and went out into the world they kind of lost touch,” Sanheim said. When they re-established contact through Facebook a few years ago, they discovered they were both living in Vancouver. An invitation to Tucker to visit Douglas’ studio led to a writing and recording collaboration that won movie and TV work even without live gigs. When Sanheim (formerly of Brandon Paris/Abandon Paris) was invited in, he brought an equally seasoned third voice to the band. “I’ve toured all over Canada and the U.S., and so have the other

In addition, the track Fight, Fight, Fight (Gonna Get Some) from Nine (released in November) has been chosen as the new theme song for the mixed martial arts TV channel Aggression TV, while music from all three albums will be featured in a new Aggression show, Lingerie Fighting Championships.

“It’s not exactly where we thought we’d see our music,” he said. “But with 14 tracks in the Lingerie Fighting Championships, it’s royalties, particularly if the show gets picked up by a large network. “We’ve taken a different approach to music and part of that is that TV and film have become more like record labels used to be,” he added. “We’re just building relationships. We started off by getting music on the Playboy Channel, and as the contacts we have do other productions, they’re inviting us into them.” For more information on The Crawl, and upcoming gigs, visit www.thecrawl.ca

Comedic foolery on stage Leon Tolchinski has landed a teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. But when he sees people sweeping dust back into their houses, and milking cows upside down to get more cream, he begins to realize the village is under a curse – of chronic stupidity. That’s the premise of Neil Simon’s comedy, Fools, the next production of White Rock Players Club (April 10-27, Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.), directed by Ryan Mooney (Lend Me A Tenor, Little Shop of Horrors). To complicate matters, he falls in love with his student, Lenya Zubritsky, daughter of the hamlet’s doctor – only to find she is also being pursued by the local aristo-

crat, evil Count Gregor. Featured players are Hunter Golden (Leon), Sheila Greentree (Lenya), Ryan Johnston (Dr. Zubritsky), Melissa Paras (Sophia Zubritsky) and Scott Milne (Count Gregor). Martin Perrin plays the role of Magistrate, while well-known scene-stealers Ray Van Ieperen, Paul Ferancik, Clive Ramroop and Helen Volkow have ample scope for winning big laughs as spectacularly dense villagers Snetsky, Slovitch, Mishkin and Yenchna.

Now, the event has expanded and

will feature a number of rescue animals available for adoption, including real Easter bunnies, dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents. The fair will also include a scavenger hunt, spring crafts and live entertainment. The fair kicks off at 1-4 p.m. at the museum, 17710 56A Ave. For more information, visit www. surrey.ca/heritage

One thing to be learned from the history of the Bacon brothers is that gangsters can come in any form, says the author of a new book about the infamous siblings. Jerry Langton, author of The Notorious Bacon Brothers: Inside Gang Warfare on Vancouver Streets, said in an interview that he was interested in delving into the background of a family that appeared to have stable middle-class roots. The three brothers – Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie – spent their growing-up years in Abbotsford and later moved to Surrey. Their parents had good jobs, the boys were involved in sports, and there is no apparent history of family dysfunction. Rather than being drawn to organized crime due to circumstances, they appear to have chosen the lifestyle because of its easy money, Langton said. He said Jonathan, the eldest of the brothers and considered the “smart one,” led the way for the other two. Jonathan was the “deal maker” who was almost “statesmanlike” in his ability to keep people together, while

A new book details the lives and backgrounds of the Bacon brothers.

Jarrod and Jamie played the “deputy or lieutenant role,” Langton said. Jonathan began by selling drugs, and was hooked by the glamour of what quick money could buy. His brothers saw him getting away with his crimes, and were also enticed by the lifestyle, Langton said. › see page 38

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Pair of road wins push Surrey into second round of BCHL playoffs

Eagles sink Rivermen in four games Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A Brady Shaw goal 35 seconds into the game set the tone early, and Adam Tambellini had a hat trick to help propel the Surrey Eagles into the second round of BC Hockey League playoffs. The Eagles defeated the Langley Rivermen 6-3 Tuesday night at the Langley Events Centre, winning the best-of-five series 3-1; on Monday night, Surrey won Game 3 by a 6-2 score.

The latter two contests were in stark contrast to the first two in South Surrey, where goals were in short supply and each team’s netminders were stellar. “Anytime you win a series you’re excited as a group. It was big for us… to win two games on the road and score six both nights,” Eagles head coach Matt Erhart told the team’s play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor after the game. “I thought we persevered the first two games (when) we didn’t get the

offence we wanted but we stuck with it… and were able to score some goals the last couple nights.” The Eagles now advance to the second round, where they will face either the Prince George Spruce Kings or the Chilliwack Chiefs, who are deadlocked in their best-offive series 2-2. Game 5 was played Wednesday night after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. “They’re both really strong teams. Whoever it is, we’ll be ready,” said Tambellini after Game 4.

Shaw’s opening goal – his second of the series – came on the power play, after Rivermen defenceman Viktor Dombrovskiy was whistled for a bench-minor penalty, before the game even began, for being late getting off the ice after the pregame warmup. Langley returned the favour less than nine minutes later when Evan Campbell deposited a rebound behind Eagles’ netminder Michael Santaguida after a Turner Popoff point shot.

The tie lasted all but two minutes, when Surrey’s Trevor Cameron restored the visitors’ lead, with assists from Tambellini and rookie blue-liner Jordan Klimek. Despite a Rivermen tally from Mitch McLain 2:17 into the second period, the middle bracket was all Eagles, as Tambellini scored twice – including once on the power play – as the Surrey squad scored three times to stake themselves to a 5-2 lead. › see page 40

Bonus points soothe loss

Bayside falls on home turf Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After another tough loss last weekend, the Bayside Sharks are still looking for their first win of the BC Premier Rugby League season. But after picking up a pair of bonus points in their 37-32 defeat to Capilano Saturday, a glimmer of hope still exists for a team aiming to avoid relegation next spring. The Sharks, winless in four games, sit eighth out of eight teams – last place gets bumped – but are just one point shy of the seventh-place UBC Old Boys. And last weekend’s strong effort against a very good Capilano team, coupled with the the fact that the Sharks still have three home games left on the calendar, gives head coach Pat Kearney hope that they can pull themselves out of the league basement by season’s end. “Obviously, it’s tough to lose again, but there were some positives to take from the game, for sure,” he said. “And right now, we’ll take points any way we can get ’em.” On Saturday, the two bonus points – one for scoring at least four tries, and another for losing by seven points or less – came as a › see page 41

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey midget, peewee teams playing for B.C. title

Teams vie for provincial banners The Semiahmoo midget A4 Ravens are in Lillooet this week, vying for a provincial hockey title, while Semiahmoo’s peewee A4 team is in Grand Forks, also seeking a B.C. banner. The midget Ravens punched their ticket to the B.C. championships by losing just once in their last six playoff games. The eight-team tournament began March 17; Semiahmoo was guaranteed at least four games. In addition to Semiahmoo – who are the Lower Mainland zone representatives – other teams taking part include Burns Lake (northwestern zone), Kelowna (Okanagan), Lillooet (hosts), Windermere Valley (east Kootenay) and Whitehorse (Yukon). At the Grand Forks tournament – which wraps up today (Thursday) Semiahmoo is

joined by Grand Forks, Vanderhoof, Prince George, Kelowna, Windermere Valley and Juan de Fuca. Other south-end teams at provincials this week include Cloverdale’s midget A1 team and Surrey Female Hockey’s midget squad.

Atoms win Valley title A tie with Langley last week was enough for the Semiahmoo Warriors to win a banner as Fraser Valley atom ‘C’ playoff champions. The Semi Warriors capped their season with a 3-3 game against Langley C6 at Great Pacific Forum, and the one point gave the young Peninsula hockey squad enough points in the round-robin-style tournament to clinch top spot.

Round 2 Friday › from page 39 Tambellini – who racked up six goals in the four-game set – scored again in the third to complete the hat trick, and though Trevor Cope replied for Langley just eight seconds later, it was not enough to stir the Rivermen to a comeback. In Game 3 Monday night, the Eagles – whose high-powered offense was largely stifled by the Rivermen on the weekend – finally exploded with six goals, including four in the third period to break what up until that point

Semiahmoo’s Aidan Ashton opened the scoring in the final game – getting his team on the board 6:12 into the first period – but Langley responded with two goals in the second period to take a slim 2-1 lead into the third. In the final frame, Langley made it 3-1 at the nine-minute mark, but Semi’s Alex Amos-Schappert scored to cut the lead to one. Then, with three minutes left to play, AmosSchappert scored his second of the game to tie the score. Langley made a late push for the winning goal, but each scoring chance was thwarted by Warriors goalie John Stewart Kacani. As Semi had already clinched the banner with the single point, no overtime period was played. – Nick Greenizan

Sharks one point out of seventh › from page 39 result of a late Bayside surge. The Sharks scored three tries in the game’s final 12 minutes. Brandon LeMoignan led the Sharks’ offensive attack with two tries in the game, while Spencer Thorpe, Gurvinder Kalar and Gavri Grossman each had one. Eric Sugawara added one penalty kick and two conversions. “The game started out pretty good for us, pretty even, but we had a couple things that didn’t go our way and we got behind a little bit,” Kearney explained. “We came out better in the second half, and decided just to go north-south and get it done.” Had the young Sharks squad played earlier in the season the way they did Saturday against the second-place Caps, Kearney figures they may well

have a notch in the win column by now, but stressed that his club was looking forward, not back. “You can reflect back and think about all the what-ifs, but it doesn’t matter,” he said. “We have a good team, but they’re young, so it’s about learning to play 80 minutes instead of 40. But after a performance like this one, the guys should be motivated now to see what they can do against some really good teams. Bayside’s men’s teams hit the road this weekend for a three-game set with Meralomas in Vancouver. The second-division clubs will square off Saturday at 11:30 a.m., the first-division sides play at 1 p.m., and the premier teams hit the pitch at 2:45 p.m.

Many people make good money buying rundown properties, fixing them up and reselling them for a profit. The best strategy for finding a profitable fixer-upper is to find the least desirable house in the most desirable neighbourhood. Then, examine whether the cost of fixing up the property to its full market value will yield a significant profit.

Most agents have one or two properties they don’t like to show. You also can look for advertisements with phrases like “handyman’s special,” “needs TLC,” etc. www.whiterockrealestate.ca Outstanding The most profitable fiColonial xer-uppers will only need minor repairs like inside and outside painting, new Outstandin Pacific Realty Ltd. info@whiterockrealestate.ca carpeting and flooring, new- 24th lightAve., fixtures, kitchen cabinets, landscaping or a thorough cleanup.

Born in Wassenaar, The Netherlands on April 9, 1915, Nellie married & moved to Canada as a war bride in 1946. Proud mother and loving grandmother, she spent many happy years as a busy community member in White Rock, BC. A 60 year member of the Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League and a devout Catholic, she was kind and generous to all she met. She avidly supported and helped with soup kitchens and food banks, filled backpacks for youth at Covenant House and made numerous quilts for Birthright up until her 97th year. Predeceased by her husband, Stephen, in 1988 and her 12 siblings in Holland, she is survived by family members in BC, Alberta and the Netherlands including her children, Jane (Rick); Jim (Sandy); her grandchildren Lisa (Gregory); Cara (Isaac); James (Marilyn); Kim (Shaun) and special niece Dorien (Pierre, Ghislain and Mathieu). The family would like to thank all the staff at Haven Hill Retirement Centre for all the great care they gave Nellie during her time in Penticton and her wonderful neighbours in the White Rock area for all their loving support over the years.
