Brenden’s Ride to let the sun shine on other kids’ summers
BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS
Brenden Parker, 18, and his dad Baron.
By Boaz Joseph Brenden Parker has accomplished a lot recently. Last year, he graduated from Clayton Heights Secondary at the age of 17. He’s now working on a big fundraising effort for a B.C. charity. Not bad for a teen who can’t walk, dress or feed himself. Parker, who has advanced Cerebral Palsy (CP) and must rely on an electric wheelchair and the close support of his family, is giving back to Easter Seals Camp Squamish, a place that’s made his summers.

For the last seven years, Parker has gone to Easter Seals Camp Squamish for one week each summer to have fun and meet other kids – and the occasional councillor – with CP. Thirty-three-acre Camp Squamish, located at the foot of Mount Garibaldi and the mouth of the Squamish River, provides five six-day sessions throughout the summer for hundreds of kids with various physical and mental disabilities. Up until 2012, admission was free – with funds raised by Easter Seals and its parent charity, the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. In 2013, the cost to participants for one

week was raised to $100 (a fraction of the actual cost), and this year, $500. The charities would cover the rest. Parker’s parents paid his “document fee” this year – because of his age, this was his final year at the camp – but Parker decided that the high cost would mean the camp could be out of reach for some families in the future. His brainchild was Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, which takes place Sept. 13. The objective: To help Camp Squamish to subsidize campers, and to increase awareness of CP.

BIA surveys businesses on homelessness issue The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association is trying to determine the scope and impact of local homelessness by asking member businesses to fill out a short, online survey. The survey was developed by the Cloverdale BIA, which sometimes conducts research on social issues brought forward by members. This year the focus is homelessness. Respondents are asked if they
think homelessness is a problem for their business, if it has contributed to a loss of clients or business, and if there are currently enough resources dedicated to Cloverdale’s homeless. The online survey is located at surveymonkey.com/s/MWN9T83. It’s hoped results will help contribute to efforts to educate and advocate on the issue.

So what do you do when you find yourself lacking this sense of connection? Sometimes we find ourselves in a new town and need to find new friends. Other times we discover that the people we used to share so much in common with, no longer satisfy that deep need to belong. Perhaps you have outgrown each other or they simply don’t have the same schedule as you now. The reasons for needing to find connection vary widely.

‘I thought in Clayton the city would follow its process’ From page one
CYNTHIA DUNSMORE PHOTO
At the time, both mayor Dianne Watts and Coun. Barinder Rasode spoke against the measure. Rasode told The Reporter the decision gives some developers unfair advantage over those who wait for the NCP process to conclude. An NCP helps guide a community’s density, transportation network, sewer systems, financing and land use policies. The plans determine the best unified strategy for a neighbourhood and area created through consultation between city staff and residents. Stromberg’s complaint is that making an exception in this case will set a troubling
precedent that will be difficult to reverse. She notes that although growth and residential development has been carefully planned in this area of Clayton, the neighbourhood is experiencing well-publicized growing pains – from lack of parking and density to inadequate transit and infrastructure. Her biggest concern is that the construction of new schools aren’t keeping pace with demand in the area, according to Stromberg, who fears even a few new students will place an added burden on already cramped classrooms. “I thought in Clayton, the city would follow its process,” she said, expressing disappointment that the application is
proceeding to a public hearing. “This is an easy one for the city to say, Whoa. No.” While the proposed development will add only five new elementary students and two secondary students, “every little bit adds up,” she said, pointing to other new residential development about to get underway at Aloha Estates. Once that’s built, she says portables will be needed at the brand-new Katzie Elementary School, which quietly opened this spring. “Our mayor and council can affect the pace of growth,” she said. “I agree that we want to grow, but here is an area where, in my view, we need to show some more discretion. There’s an opportunity to draw the line.”

Country star Karen Lee Batten to entertain riders Breakfast in Cloverdale followed by a stop at Trev Deeley, with lunch in Squamish From page one
Mary-Lou Williams, one of Brenden Parker’s former teachers, designed this poster for the first-ever Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals, a Sept. 13 motorcycle ride in support of raising money for participants facing fees for Easter Seals Camp Squamish.
See why
we are smiling
“It’s all his baby,� says his father Baron. “Physically, he’s screwed, but mentally, he’s always got it on.� The plan is to gather as many as 150 riders on motorcycles (cars are welcome) to ride from Cloverdale to Camp Squamish for the day. While Brenden will ride with his mom Sandy and sister Sarah in the family van, Baron will be on his Harley Davidson Road Glide. Breakfast will be at The Henry in Cloverdale at 9 a.m., followed by a stop at Trev Deeley Motorcycles in Burnaby at 11 a.m., and then lunch at Camp Squamish from 12-3 p.m. – with food provided by Langley’s Sammy J’s Grill and Bar. The afternoon’s entertainment will come courtesy of Langley resident, family friend and Canadian Idol alumnus and country
music star Karen Lee Batten. Baron says the afternoon fundraiser will likely include auction items such as sports memorabilia and local outings. The support from local donors and volunteers has been huge, says Baron. The cost to participate in Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals is $25 – meaning that 20 participants would subsidize one child at next year’s camps – other funding sources take care of the rest of the actual cost of the program, which totals $2,400 per child for one week. The rise in the admission cost from zero to $500 for each camper over the last two years stems from diminishing sources of income for the Lions Society, which runs Camps Squamish, Camp Shawnigan on Vancouver Island and

Camp Winfield in the Okanagan Valley. The venerable Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the Kids, which 15 years ago was an effective fundraising tool, has nearly reached the end of its life due to competition from other charities, says an official. And while the number of campers this past summer dropped slightly from the previous 800 or so, parents have generally accepted the new reality, says Stephen Miller, president and CEO of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals.
Miller explains that unlike other camps for children with specific diseases such as cancer or diabetes, the nature of the Easter Seals camps – for kids with a variety of disabilities – means that volunteers cannot be used, and the camps provide ratios of just one, two or three campers for each properly trained and paid staff member, to ensure proper safety and support. For Brenden, the camp has been an important part of the past seven summers. He says he’s always had fun with the experience and the friends he’s made there. “It’s a way of life for me.� Pre-registration for Brenden’s Ride for Easter Seals ends on Sept. 2.

What a feeling
By Henry Cheng (R.Ph), Christine Cheng (R.Ph)
CHRISTINE CHENG
Optimal gastro-intestinal (G-I) health is a key component of overall wellness. The common saying, “You are what you eat” is very true. For centuries, the ancient Chinese believed that “All wellness and ailments originate from the central gut”. Dysfunction of the GI tract has been linked to various disease states including immune disorders, respiratory problems, mental acuity, energy level, mood, weight control, skin, joint, blood, and of course stomach and intestinal problems. The 4 R G-I Restoration Program is a simple nutritional approach to solve many complex gastro-intestinal conditions. The 4 R’s stand for Remove, Replace, Regenerate and Reinoculate. REMOVE all allergens and potential toxins (chemicals, artificial coloring/flavoring, MSG, caffeine, alcohol, etc.) from your food. Remove parasites and unwanted microbes like candida, fungus, pathogenic bacteria, etc. Apart from avoidance, this may call for botanical antimicrobials and bacteriostatic phytonutrients as can be found in the popular GASTROPLEX® (Biomed).
REPLACE beneficial factors that are missing or deficient. Digestive enzymes, stomach acid (as in seniors), bile acids and salts (e.g.,BIOGEST ® by Thorne), and mucosal protectants (with licorice, marshmallow, etc, such as in GASTROEASE+™) REGENERATE broken mucosa and ulcers with L-Glutamine, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, curcumins, N-acetyl glucosamines (NAG). INTESTAMINE® by Douglas Laboratories and RR FORMULA™ by Biomed are based on this philosophy and are suitable for ulcers, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and Leaky Gut Syndrome. REINOCULATE good GI microflora, also called “friendly bacteria” or “probiotics”, to provide a normal environment for digestion and absorption, as well as preventing overgrowth of undesirable organisms. They also secrete enzymes that can help assimilation. Eating yogurt is usually not good enough for disease state management since most of the organisms are killed by gastric acid. Make sure you choose a preparation that is enteric-coated or contains acid resistant strains, so the

organisms have a chance to reach the intestine where they establish colonies. Preparations containing FOS (Fructo-OligoSaccharides) are also favoured because this is the food on which the organisms thrive. Choosing a probiotic with multiple strains (e.g., ACIDOPHILUS ULTRA by New Roots Herbal) can be likened to sending in the whole army, whereas a probiotic with a few targeted strains (e.g., ULTRA FLORA ACUTE CARE™ by Metagenics) is like sending in the sharpshooters. Add all four R’s to any conventional management program, and you can solve many problems. If you need the details, check with your naturopathic advisor. In the mean time, follow your doctor’s advice.

Arrest made in connection with shooting
A 27-year-old Langley man arrested in South Surrey last week is facing multiple charges in connection with a shooting incident that occurred in Cloverdale last month. The arrest took place during a search of a home in the 15300-block of 27A Avenue, with assistance from officers with the Mounties’ High Risk Target Team, Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services. The Cloverdale incident took place July 21 at approximately 4:30 p.m. According to police, a woman reported that a man had accidentally shot his friend in the leg at a home in the 18700-block of 60A Avenue. The perpetrator fled the scene on a motorcycle. Charges laid following Wednesday’s arrest include aggravated assault and assault, as well as six firearms-related charges. Robert Miskenack is due back in court on Aug. 28. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-2228477 or www.solvercrime.ca.

ICBC seeks insurance rate hike
For buffet reservations while watching live harness racing call 604-575-5603.
ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates. The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application. A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up. Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims. Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes that often cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossman said. A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September. Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday. Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete. He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general revenue. The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010. Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBC and government claims the yearly dividends to the province come only from the optional side and don’t affect basic rates. “We see it a as one corporation,” he said. “As long as they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no matter which division they claim it from, we are being gouged as a public.” Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive vehicles that is “absolutely disgraceful.”

By Kevin Diakiw The province’s deputy commissioner for the RCMP is defending funding cuts to organized and serious crime forces this week. The province cut $4.2 million from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Provincial Major Crime program, slicing a total of 25 investigators from the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang squad and the major crimes’ missing persons and unsolved homicide team. “After significant consultation with my Senior Management Team and the CFSEU-BC Board of Governance, I notified the province that the budget shortfall would be reflected in cuts to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit BC and to the Provincial Major Crime program,” Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens said in a release Aug. 20. Surrey Coun. Tom Gill described the loss of those services as “unfortunate.” He said that luckily, Surrey has a detachment large enough to cover those lost positions, but many smaller detachments will not. The move by the province to cut costs at the detriment of municipalities is nothing new, he said, adding it often happens by way of roads and social services. “The provincial government is just trying to balance its budget on the backs of the municipalities,” Gill said. “This is a very important issue,” he added, noting the city should be banging on the solicitor general’s door to have those services returned. The cuts to CFSEU amount to $2.8 million, chopping 12 positions to the bike gang squad and maintaining a “vacancy pattern” while reducing support positions. Major crimes is being cut by 13 positions in the Special Projects/Unsolved Homicide/Missing Persons program. This includes the reduction of 13 full-time investigators within various projects. Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said the cuts won’t have a huge impact on Surrey. “It’s not going to have that profound an effect on Surrey itself,” Carr said. “We experience things like this on a regular basis, where the dynamics change in policing and we have to adjust our resources.” Former chair of Surrey’s police committee, Coun. Barinder Rasode, said it’s not a question of whether the RCMP can adjust. “I have no doubt that they could absorb it, I’m just saying they shouldn’t have to,” Rasode said. She said the Solicitor General should be asked to return those services, but also to work with the local municipalities on what services should be cut, if any. Surrey was not consulted at all before the cuts were announced, she’s said. Former Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum, who is campaigning for the job this fall, said the timing of the budget reductions couldn’t be worse. “These cuts are completely inappropriate,” McCallum said. He agrees with Rasode that Surrey should have been consulted on the decision. “We have got to get better communication in the RCMP and the region,” said McCallum, saying it’s key to effective decision-making.

General Manager, Community Relations, BC SPCA
Wouldn’t it be great if people valued animals so much that spaying and neutering your pet was just a socially accepted norm? While many people do ensure that their animals aren’t adding to B.C.’s pet overpopulation crisis, many otherwise caring pet guardians don’t take this important step. Tragically many more animals are born in B.C. than there are homes for. The BC SPCA and other animal rescue organizations shelter and find homes for tens of thousands of these unwanted animals each year, but sadly many more are simply abandoned by their guardians and suffer a cruel death from starvation, disease, predation or injury. The BC SPCA urges all pet guardians to have their pets sterilized if they haven`t already done so. In addition to saving lives, your pet will live a calmer and happier life. Here are just some of the benefits for your pet:

will reduce her desire to escape to find a mate, spraying or inappropriate elimination, howling and attracting unwanted male cats onto your property; Spaying or neutering your pet reduces the likelihood of them developing uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers; Having your pet sterilized also provides an opportunity to have other important health procedures performed, as necessary, such as an identification tattoo or microchip or teeth cleaning. Spaying and neutering is done under a general anaesthetic, so your pet won’t be in pain. If cost is a concern for you, check with your local SPCA. The SPCA provides assistance to low-income pet guardians where possible and many communities have low-cost spay/neuter funds administered through the local government. For more information on spaying and neutering your pet, Natural Pharmacy for your 4-Legged Friends visit spca.bc.ca.
