Homeland Security agent poses online as 12-year-old girl

Youth coach arrested in U.S. sting Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Surrey volunteer who coaches youth soccer is facing charges in Washington after allegedly pursuing sex with a 12-year-old girl. According to a statement issued Wednesday, a 47-year-old was arrested last Tuesday (Feb. 3) afternoon at a park in Burlington, after crossing into the U.S. at Blaine.

The accused coaches a U16 boys team, and has been suspended until further notice, Surrey United Soccer Club executive director Martin Foden confirmed. According to a document filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Kuldip “Kelly” Singh Mahal is accused of responding to a “casual encounters” online post on Craigslist last month and communicating with what he

believed to be a 12-year-old girl. All suspect communications, however – including sexually explicit messages and photos – were actually exchanged with an undercover agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. The communications continued even after the agent made “her” age clear, according to

the court document. “First off, i just want to make sure ur cool with my age, some guys get freaked out…” the agent states in an excerpt from a Jan. 15 email. Mahal is accused of texting a message the following day indicating he is fine with the age and asking the “girl” to “keep this only between us, no matter what.” i see page 4

Canada Post working on ‘multi-pronged’ strategy

Spate of sophisticated mailbox robberies Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More community mailboxes in South Surrey have been targeted by thieves. Surrey RCMP confirmed Friday that one of the boxes was broken into early Wednesday in the 14900-block of 22 Avenue, and residents report at least three others were hit in the Rosemary Heights area that morning. Police were alerted to the 22 Avenue incident just after 3 a.m., by a resident who heard a

crash and the sound of ripping metal and saw a small, dark vehicle drive away from the area. Subsequent patrols of the neighbourhood did not locate a suspect; all other community mailboxes in the area were intact, police said. Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier told Peace Arch News from Ottawa that work is underway to strengthen targeted mailboxes. As well, a task force is working on a “multipronged strategy” to address the issue, which is a problem throughout the Lower Mainland,

she said, noting more than 60 people were arrested last year in connection with mail theft. Noting a “skyrocketing” crime rate in the area, Losier said options explored include a bait-mail program and use of security cameras. “Unfortunately, with these criminals, where there’s a will, there’s a way,” she said. “These criminals are sophisticated and they’re using anything at their disposal to try to get into these boxes. It’s pretty phenomenal, the type of effort we’re seeing.”

While homicides dropped in Surrey last year, 2014 was still the fourth-highest year for murders in the city’s history. Surrey RCMP released its end-ofyear crime statistics last weekend, indicating there were 17 murders last year, down 32 per cent from 2013’s all-time record of 25. The next-highest year was in 2005, when Surrey logged 21 homicides, and 2009, when the city experienced 20 killings, according to B.C. Ministry of Justice figures. Last year, property crime jumped 24 per cent over 2013. Theft of motor vehicles skyrocketed 54 per cent and fraud was up 58 per cent. Incidents of stolen property also shot up by 47 per cent. The number of times Surrey residences were broken into increased by 24 per cent. Prostitution, however, was down in Surrey by 43 per cent last year and theft of merchandise over $5,000 decreased by 20 per cent. The statistics, available on the Surrey RCMP website at surrey. rcmp-grc.gc.ca, also break down figures by policing district. District 3, which includes Cloverdale and Port Kells, reported a 10-per-cent jump in violent crime, i see page 4

Diversion from hospital said to be key to plan

Community group tries to improve health Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

It’s more than a New Year’s resolution. Members of the South Surrey/White Rock Healthy Community Working Group – formed in 2011 – are aiming to change the way Semiahmoo Peninsula residents live. The group was created after the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Foundation (PAHCHF) board of directors set a strategic goal to make South Surrey and White Rock the healthiest community possible. The group, which includes health-care providers and other officials, focuses on health promotion, rather than strictly health care. Its members explained their mission to White Rock council last week.

“Our vision for a healthier community in South Surrey and White Rock is a healthy and active community where people are committed to physical, mental and social wellbeing,” PAHCHF’s Rachel Suttill told council. “The working group researched documents from local, national and global sources in efforts to understand what it means to be a healthy community.” With the help of the City of White Rock’s director of leisure services, Eric Stepura, the group worked on creating – and now implementing – a plan for 2015-2019 called the Strategic Plan for a Healthier Community for South Surrey and White Rock. The objectives of the group include to

collect research on the current state of the “physical and social determinants of health” the community; identify gaps that exist in addressing community health issues; raise awareness and understanding of healthy living; propose, facilitate and support the development of initiatives that advance the state of health in the community. All members of the group were present, including Suttill, City of Surrey’s healthy communities manager Lori Bowie, White Rock physician Dr. Werner Spengehl, Fraser Health medical officer Dr. Michelle Murti, Fraser Health community specialist Jovana Turkovic, Peace Arch Hospital site director Loraine Jenkins, Seniors Come Share Society’s Sue McIntosh and White Rock Leisure

Services community recreation co-ordinator Janna Nicholson. According to Mayor Wayne Baldwin, the plan and working group are a step in the right direction, and he credited the PAHCHF for their work to get the ball rolling. “They recognize that the amount of money that we’re putting into the health system – which is excessive – all the money that we pay… really has a finite limit,” Baldwin said. “If we don’t do something to divert the patients going to the hospital, we will be overwhelmed. “The trick for us is not just to take this document but to put the plan in action.” Council voted unanimously to endorse the strategic plan.

Surrey announcement

Funds target violence Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Premier Christy Clark was in Surrey Friday to announce an initiative that she hopes will greatly reduce violence in the province. Clark stopped in at the main Surrey RCMP detachment, announcing a “long-term vision” called the Violence Free BC strategy. She announced $3 million in civil-forfeiture funds – collected through seized assets from the proceeds of crime – will go toward programs aimed at ending violence against women. The funds are to be used for local anti-violence support services, the opening of a newly integrated domestic-violence unit and an upcoming campaign to raise awareness of the dangers women face. “Violence against women is not a women’s issue – it’s an issue for all of us in British Columbia,” Clark said in a news release. “The Violence Free BC strategy is our roadmap to creating a province where each of us does our part, working together, to keep women safe from harm.” The government plans to launch a public-awareness campaign in the near future.

Last-minute interception by credit union keeps member from falling for ‘family member’ ruse

Would-be fraud victim wants to warn others Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Surrey man who nearly lost almost $3,000 to fraudsters is hoping his experience will save others from falling victim. The man, a Vancity credit union member who asked to not be identified, told Peace Arch News it all began with a phone call from someone professing to be his nephew. The caller sounded upset, and told of being arrested in the U.S. for drinking and driving, he said. “The story got very involved and very complicated,” with the bottom line being that the ‘nephew’ needed $2,850 to “make it all go away.” At no point – including after he clicked “send” to complete the money transfer – did the 63-year-old consider that someone

The Surrey man said he is “incredibly fortunate” that Vancity caught the scam so quickly. And as embarrassing as it is to have fallen for the scam, he hopes others will learn from it. “I just hope it saves somebody else,” he said. Cree said Vancity offers information both in-branch and online (www.vancity.com) on how people can identify warning signs and protect themselves from fraud. As well, its Each One, Teach One program offers workshops to promote financial literacy and independence.

Parents losing track, not anti-vaccination ideology: MHO

I N T E G R AT I V E

Low rate of vaccinations

More than 30 per cent of infants in the Fraser Health region are not getting vaccinated on schedule and public health officials say that rate of non-compliance is a concern. Fraser statistics released last month show 69 per cent of two-year-olds are up to date on the standard recommended vaccinations against diseases such as diptheria, measles, polio and Hepatitis B. That’s short of the region’s current target of at least 73 per cent and a goal of more than 80 per cent immunized by 2017. The province has a target of 90 per cent by 2023. Medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti doesn’t think the statistics reflect a dangerous level of ideological opposition to vaccinations. She said 94 per cent of new parents in the region start their kids’ vaccinations at the twomonth mark but many then fail to keep them up, perhaps losing track after they return to work. “They do start but then life gets busy and we see significant dropoff over that two-year schedule, especially at the 12- and 18-month points,” Murti said. Nor is the phenomenon new. Fraser’s immunization rates for two-year-olds have hovered around the same level for the past five years, ranging from a low of 61 per cent in early 2010 to a high of 72 per cent in the spring of 2012. Murti said she believes the rates are similar for B.C. as a whole and not unique to the Fraser region. The health authority released its statistics this week, she said, in an attempt to “capitalize” on public interest in the measles outbreak linked to Disneyland in the U.S. Fraser got more calls from parents wanting vaccinations in the wake of the Disneyland outbreak than during the local measles outbreak last year that was centred on Chilliwack. Murti said the immunization rates are quite consistent across the Fraser region, with minor exceptions.

More than 30 per cent of babies in the Fraser Valley are not fully vaccinated. “We do know we have pockets of communities, especially in the Fraser East area, where we have low rates due to personal objection to immunizations,” she said. Surrey’s Guildford and Cloverdale neighbourhoods, on the other hand, are a bit higher than the regional average. Murti thinks technology can

help parents keep track of their kids’ immunization schedules and boost rates over time. She said parents can sign up for free textmessage reminders of when their baby needs to return for boosters or download a free smartphone app to record and follow the vaccination schedule. There’s also a free child health passport that can be obtained

from public health offices or downloaded online. Links to all three resources, as well as immunization schedules and more information can be found at fraserhealth. ca/immunize. Murti said it’s also important for newcomers to B.C. to transfer their health records so their immunizations are on file here.

B.C.’s relaxed attitude on pot

he attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp contrast with the approach taken in other parts of Canada. Proof of that comes in details from a court document, filed as part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing which was the subject of a massive search last week. Although the large property is just drawing public attention now the documents suggest it has been used for marijuana production since 1993. That’s a 22-year period. It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purposes was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana then – which has since been allowed – growing, selling and using the product could lead to criminal charges, and often did. Yet as the documents suggest, there was plenty of marijuana being grown in B.C. at the time – especially in many rural communities throughout Langley and Surrey. Some was for local consumption, and some was truly for medicinal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for shipment to the U.S. and other countries, often in return for other drugs or guns. Despite all that, B.C. residents have seemingly had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana going back to the late 1960s – if not actively partaking in it, then at least a willingness to put up with the growing of a product that has grown through the years to become big business. Need proof of such acceptance? Ask yourself if any other province could have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, after serving several years in a U.S. jail, is now encouraging American marijuana users to come here to buy their supply – even though it remains illegal to sell it, except for medicinal purposes. It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado turns out to be successful – and the early returns suggest that is has been – marijuana will be eventually be legalized throughout North America. Already, there are many other U.S. states considering the move to legalization. If that does indeed happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissez-faire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have no doubt played a major role.

The retiring baby boom is expected to account for more than half of the openings in the next decade, which will expand the skills demand across most fields, beyond the trades training for the anticipated liquefied natural-gas industry and other high-demand industrial areas such as truck driving. Wilkinson notes that of the ministry’s $1.9 billion budget, about 60 per cent goes into general post-secondary education, for introductory courses that students take when they are seeking a career path, through undergraduate studies to professions. “So I think the idea that we’re going to somehow minimize or diminish funding in that general education, arts and science category is just not true,” he said. Key to this shift is measuring the performance of courses offered at colleges, universities and technical schools. Each year, the ministry surveys about 30,000 graduates to find out whether their studies helped them find a related job. The results are available on a website that breaks them out by institution and general study area. To find it, do a web search for “BC student outcomes” and select the “executive dashboard” to check the results for courses and schools in your region. The site provides charts showing the percentage of students who land relevant jobs. Not surprisingly, it tends to be higher for technical programs and lower for fine arts. It also shows grads’ average wages, a sobering but useful bit of information for high school students and their parents. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Non-voters hold Selective less influence enforcement Editor: Re: We can easily afford to help all, Feb. 3 letters. Letter-writer Fraser Crinklaw asks why programs are being cut to our most vulnerable citizens. I would put it to Mr. Crinklaw that such programs are cut in part because the vulnerable people in question are unlikely to vote, and with recent (un)fair elections legislation, it is even more unlikely. Indeed, do write to MP Russ Hiebert, but remember who makes all the decisions in the ‘party of one.’ Don’t forget to cc the opposition parties, too. Rick Ketcheson, White Rock

Editor: Re: Neighbours’ calls to city precipitate bylaw fines, Feb. 3. Interesting that calls from residents living in Summerfield brought out the aggressive, overzealous bylaw officers to ticket cars. I can advise that many residents in the same area have contacted the non-aggressive, non-overzealous

bylaw officers to make a visit and tour a filthy worksite in the area. I had a bylaw officer agree with me after visiting the site that it is filthy, and the owner stated he would be cleaning the site asap. That was six months ago and nothing has changed, and a bylaw officer has never followed up. During the last wind storm, junk from the site was blown onto the street and into the yard of the complex west of it, requiring the residents to clean up their yards. One resident contacted the city on this matter, which I understood

would be confidential. However, the person at city hall whom he spoke with contacted the property owner of the construction site and gave the owner the person’s name and number. The construction site owner then contacted the complainant and blasted him. So much for confidential information. Would it be possible to locate an aggressive bylaw officer and have this filthy site cleaned as per present bylaw rules, and maybe lay off the parking tickets for one day and do a real inspection? Fred Somers Sr., Surrey

…how is it that council can, through bylaw, continue to allow construction activities, no matter how loud, to commence at 7 a.m., six days a week, 52 weeks a year? a Dennis Lypka

A lesson on adaptation Editor: Re: Teachers adapting, but not union, Feb. 3 column. Contrary to columnist Tom Fletcher’s assertion that B.C. teachers and the BCTF are not “adapting,” we are actually leading the way in protecting and enhancing education in our province. The BC Teachers’ Federation is actively involved in B.C.’s task force on assessment, the graduation requirements review and the curriculum redesign teams. Our two vice-presidents and I have been meeting with senior Ministry of Education staff on these initiatives as well. As a union of professionals, we work hard to enhance our practice in support of teaching and learning. The BCTF has 32 provincial specialist associations – ranging from science, social studies and art to technology and trades education – that put on exceptional professional development conferences, write reports and lead important teacher-inquiry projects. Recently, the BCTF has partnered with UBC and the BC Superintendents Association to create a province-wide mentoring program that will formalize an integrated system of support for developing and retaining teachers in B.C. We also funded, created and launched a new online platform called TeachBC that enables teachers from across B.C. to share their research and teaching resources. There are a lot of excellent things happening in B.C. schools, and teachers are front-and-centre making it all happen. However, we cannot forget that any government strategy, initiative, direction, plan, etc., needs funding. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for this government to fund the basics like improving class size and composition. A change in government attitude towards funding is the first adaptation B.C. students need. Jim Iker, BCTF president

White Rock Farmers’ Market moved to its current location at Miramar Village Plaza beneath two highrises in 2009.

Conflicts abound over concerns Editor: Re: Frustration over market start time, Jan. 29. Whether one is a fan or a critic of the White Rock Farmers’ Market, no one can deny it provides a unique vitality and sense of community often lacking in our city. So when our city council decides to refuse to grant an exemption to continue to allow the market to begin setup at 7 a.m., residents should ask a number of questions. Farmers’ market president Sandy VanDeKinder has said there have been no noise complaints for 14 years and this is essentially what the city-staff report to council said, supporting a startup time earlier than 8 a.m. So why did Mayor Wayne Baldwin declare that there had been a number of recent complaints? If Baldwin had received complaints himself, why did he not direct them to the appropriate city staff personnel for handling? The mayor is also quoted as saying he was not sure why the early start time was allowed in the past in the first place; but the market began its operation during his lengthy tenure as city manager. In denying the request to continue setup at 7 a.m., council suggests they were doing so in sympathy of residents who might have their sleep disturbed on the 21 Sundays of the year the market operates. If so, how is it that council can, through bylaw, continue to allow construction activities, no matter how loud, to commence at 7 a.m., six days a week, 52 weeks a year, if peace of residents is the motive behind the market time? More questions jump out when one sees who wrote the one letter of complaint that council relied on to justify their decision. It was none other than Cliff Annable, a longtime pal of Baldwin who ran unsuccessfully for council on the White Rock Coalition slate, in partnership with current councillors Megan Knight, Bill Lawrence, Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair. Anyone who knows anything about White Rock politics knows that neither Coun. Helen Fathers nor Coun. David Chesney are among the inner clique of Baldwin and the coalition councillors. Fathers was absent for the vote on the market start time and Chesney excused himself because of his association with the market. How is it then that Baldwin did not consider himself also conflicted, due to his long association with Annable?

How is it then that Knight, Lawrence, Meyer and Sinclair did not also consider themselves conflicted because of the letter from their running mate, and excuse themselves? Is the new way to get our new council to work for you to simply get an unsuccessful coalition candidate to take up your cause with his friends and associates? If so, would Mr. Annable please write a letter and ask that the noise bylaw be amended so that construction activities can start no sooner than 8 a.m. and end by 8 p.m? Dennis Lypka, White Rock Q Re: Market disputes mayor’s ‘complaints,’ Feb. 3. Is White Rock Farmers’ Market’s 7 a.m. start time too early? No! Too Noisy? Certainly not! The only frustration about this is the apparent favouritism shown by White Rock city council. A farmer’s day starts early, and residents need to purchase their vegetables early to prepare a good meal. Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Couns. Bill Lawrence and Grant Meyer say the 7 a.m. market setup time is disturbing residents, because one of their friends – recent White Rock Coalition candidate Cliff Annable – wrote a single letter. Baldwin originally said there had been many complaints over the years, then later admitted to a PAN reporter there are no other complaints on record. Just this one complaint. And in an instant, the rules were changed. If the council is so concerned about complaints and noise, why did council ignore hundreds of complaints over the Vidal Street 12-storey mega-condo development they approved? Or the White Rock Muffler Site development’s excessive height? Or the sudden decision to move the location of the Evergreen towers that needlessly destroyed heritage trees and impacted local residents and their property values? Or the hundreds of complaints over Omnibus Bylaw 2000, which allowed excessive heights on new buildings on the waterfront, blocking the view of existing residents? Could this have more to do with White Rock council helping their fellow coalition member, while sticking it to independent Coun. Helen Fathers, who happens to be the market manager?

Time running out to sample restaurants’ special offerings

Few more days left to Taste White Rock Alex Browne Staff Reporter

With just days still on the clock for the Taste White Rock restaurant festival, there are still opportunities left to sample the best culinary fare the city can provide – with an incentive of special pricing. There are 18 restaurants participating in the 2015 event, presented by the White Rock Business Improvement Association, which runs until Friday (Feb. 13). And there’s been ample proof the festival – rebranded this year from the ‘Bite of the Rock’ festival – is connecting with residents.

“We’re delighted with results so far,” White Rock BIA executive director Douglas Smith said last week. “Rebranding seems to have really had the desired result – the restaurants have indicated to us that business is up significantly.” During the festival, participating venues are providing a fixed-price three-course menu for $25 or $35 but patrons can also check with individual restaurants for a variety of other options and specially tailored menus. Participants in 2015’s Taste White Rock include Beijing Restaurant, Charlie Don’t Surf, Cielo’s, Cosmos, Five, Five Corners Bis-

This is all about inspiring people.” Advertising in newspapers, on radio and even onscreen before shows at the Hollywood Caprice theatre – and in media across the line

in Washington – has proven effective, Smith said. Banners across Johnston Road, at the pier head and outside restaurants have helped, and the White Rock BIA has also been working social media to spread word, he added.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

More than $5,000

Financial boost for youth group Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A Peninsula youth group received a financial boost that will see them move closer to opening up a safe and inclusive space in the community. The South Surrey/White Rock Youth Collective received $1,000 from the Aviva Community Fund competition in the wild-card category this month. In December, the group had made it to the semi-finals for a grand prize of $100,000, when they were informed they had not moved on to the finals. The group is also the recipient of a $4,681 Vancouver Foundation Youth Philanthropy Council (YPC) Grant. “The YPC grants empower young people in Vancouver to take action on issues they care about,” Jessie Kergan, a youth and family worker at Alexandra Neighbourhood House working with the group to bring the youth space to fruition, said in a news release Wednesday. “They support programs that encourage youth growth, promote youth voice and increase opportunities for youth participation. “This grant is specifically to support youth collective program activities.” Kergan added that the youth collective will continue to fundraise and bring awareness of the youth space project in the coming months. Made up of teens from all walks of life and varied backgrounds – including some who have struggled through adversity – the group has come together and been actively working on the project since September 2013 with guidance from Kergan and her supervisor, Maxine Larmour. The White Rock Youth Collective is envisioning a space (approximately 2,500 square feet) that would be a place for teens to just hang out and meet new friends or try drop-in programs and other activities, including DJing or even something arts-related.

Southridge School students take on Kids Lit Quiz

Avid readers test their skills Nick Greenizan

Staff Reporter

our students from Southridge School were in Toronto yesterday (Monday), representing their school – and their province – at the Kids’ Lit Quiz national finals. The foursome – Grade 7 students Serina St. James, Sarah Tisdale and Armaan Randhawa, and Grade 6 student Stephanie Lee – qualified for the literary contest after taking top spot at the provincial Kids Lit Quiz event last month at Little Flower Academy in Vancouver. Kids Lit Quiz is an annual literary tournament aimed at promoting reading among students aged 10 to 13. At each event, the teams are asked 100 questions from 10 different categories, all of them relating to children’s literature.

“Anything written in English, aimed at children aged four to 14 is testable,” said Southridge teacher Joyce Chong, the team’s coach and also the Kids Lit Quiz convener for B.C. “And you have no idea what you’re going to be asked. It covers comic books, pop culture, Shakespeare – all kinds of stuff. “You really have to be well-read in order to do this.” The national contest was held after Peace Arch News’ longweekend deadline. At the provincial tournament, Southridge’s team won after answering 74 questions correctly. “Our kids are just fantastic readers,” said Chong last week, prior to the team heading east to Toronto. “They’re really excited to be going.”

The team has been meeting once per week since September, Chong explained. Each meeting, they pick a topic and discuss it, often quizzing each other. The team members estimate they’ve read about 100 books apiece since the beginning of the school year. “They work very well together as a team,” she said. The key to success, they all agree, is having a broad base of knowledge. St. James, for example, is the team’s resident Harry Potter expert, while Randhawa has the best handle on the classics – Robinson Crusoe, The Hobbit and The Jungle Book, for example. “Each of us has a specialty, and then we just put all our knowledge together, and hope to come in first,” said Randhawa. When reading, it’s important to retain information that you might

normally not pay attention to if you were just reading for fun, he added. For example, one recent question at a tournament asked competitors which company publishes the Harry Potter series. “You can’t just read, you have to read smart,” Randhawa said. This year’s trip to nationals will be the second in a row for a Southridge team. Last year, Southridge hosted provincials as part of a provincial pilot project – 15 other B.C. schools took part – and as part of that pilot project, were invited to nationals. “But this time, we actually qualified, so it’s pretty exciting,” Chong said, adding that she hopes the Kids Lit Quiz becomes as popular here in B.C. as it is in Ontario, where upwards of 80 schools take part each year.

of the Year (fourth runner-up), Cold Read (first runner-up), plus received honourable mentions for her performance in improvisation, monologue, screen test and theatrical headshots. And, she received eight callbacks from agencies in New York and L.A. According to Harding, Sutton’s training at Pizzazz led to local bookings and fashion shows throughout the Lower Mainland. She took her talent to another level through a film and television program at Vancouver Film School. She is “one to watch,” said Harding. Sutton could not be reached for comment. – Tracy Holmes

IMPLANT DENTISTRY

With over 25 years of experience in implant dentistry, Dr. William Liang is an excellent source of knowledge for the general public. Dr. Liang, in your practice, what is the most common reason for tooth loss?

are many reasons, but for A: There adults, usually gum disease, so prevention is the first step. Having Dr. William Liang said that, since my practice is Dentist implant solution-based, our patients are referred by other dentists, specifically for dental implant replacement for lost or soon-to-be-lost teeth. Normally, we see patients with heavily restored teeth that have shattered or broken due to strain, stress, or simply use. There is only so much we, as dentists, can do to reinforce the structure of the natural tooth. However, the good news is that dental techniques available today allow your dentist to restore your teeth. Don’t lose hope! I would highly recommend that you speak to your dentist about your options.

OPTOMETRIST should I have an Eye Q: Why Exam Instead of a Sight Test?

exams are performed A: Eye by a Doctor of Optometry. It includes measuring the power of your eyes; how your eyes Dr. Michelle Elliott work together; examining the Dr. Liseann Head health of the front, middle and back of your eyes. A sight test uses a machine to measure the power of your eyes only. Optometrists do not perform Sight Tests as the College of Optometrists considers them unsafe. Eye diseases such as glaucoma, retinal detachments and diabetes can be in eyes with 20/20 vision. Just being able to see does not mean your eyes are healthy. At Spectrum Optometry the goal is seeing for the rest of your life, not just today.

Why is regular grooming important? Q: Grooming is not just about maintaining pet’s cleanliness and good-looks, A: your it also helps keep your dog healthy. Grooming keeps your dog’s coat healthy and free of matts. A matted coat can pull on the skin and cause significant discomfort. A regularly groomed dog has its ears cleaned and nails trimmed which prevents possible Helen nail twisting causing irregular gait and possible skeletal damage. The other benefit of grooming is that it allows you to check your pet for any abnormalities. This includes skin problems such as ticks, fleas and dry patches, or issues with their nails, teeth, ears, and eyes such as infection or inflammation. When found at an early stage, these problems can be treated right away, before they have a chance to become more serious.

Q: What can I do to slow the aging process?

A: Life is a see saw of damage and repair.

When we’re very young our repair is very efficient. After age thirty or so, the forces of damage gradually increase and repair is less efficient. So the question is, how Neil Tessler ND, DHANP can we look, feel and perform our best at every age? The answer is that we need to learn how to push down on damage and push up on repair. Research shows that diet and lifestyle choices, exercise, meditation, our attitudes about aging, as well as certain herbs and supplements, can all play a significant role in supporting better health at every age and slowing the aging process. Call today to learn more.

TRAVEL & CRUISE AGENT am planning a trip to the Q: ICanadian Arctic; where do I start?

the Canadian Arctic A: Although covers a vast region, one of the great advantages of the current ice conditions is the ability to travel by ship. Julie Expedition Cruising offers great safety and savings, as travel within the Arctic is very expensive. Plus, the water is where most of the food is, so wildlife viewing is also best either in the ocean, on the ice floes, or along the shores.

Q: What is a Bunion? is a bony growth on the A: Asidebunion of the base of your big toe. Both

pressure from your shoes and motion in the big toe joint can cause pain. Bunions can often progress gradually until running and sometimes even walking are extremely painful. Causes: A bunion is a condition Dr. Howard Green that can be due to heredity, or a Podiatrist biomechanical problem (overpronation). Treatment: Wear a pad over the bunion to reduce friction on the inside of your shoes. If you think over-pronation is the cause, try a custom orthotic, which will reduce the excessive pronation and minimize the future growth of the bunion. More painful bunions often require surgical correction. Prevention: Assuming the bunion isn’t inherited, the most important measure that you can take is to make sure that your shoes fit properly and provide adequate support for your feet. If over-pronation is a problem, look to purchase ‘motion-control’ shoes. Activity Restrictions: None, unless the bunions have become too painful.

Golfing duo don’t let anything get in the way of a round

either snow, nor rain, nor heat nor gloom of night” may be the opening line of the United States Postal Service’s motto, but a pair of South Surrey golfers also abide by the same credo when it comes to their favourite sport. For the last three years, Rob Ezart and Vincent Yew have, without fail, golfed every single weekend – sometimes multiple rounds. So far, neither personal commitments – both men are married, and also have fulltime jobs – nor weather have kept them from teeing off at 15 different golf courses throughout the Lower Mainland. Locally, they’re ❝Keeping frequent visitors to score is frustrating, so Hazelmere Golf Course, Morgan Creek Country now we just Club, Peace Portal and go out and Surrey Golf Course in have fun.❞ north Surrey. They’ve battled Rob Ezart torrential rainstorms; golfer continued to play through come-fromnowhere blizzards that have hit them midround; and even stayed on course despite winds strong enough to knock them down. In fact, one of Ezart’s favourite stories is of the time, while playing through a downpour on the 10th hole at Hazelmere Golf Course, that a gust of wind picked up Yew’s golf umbrella and carried it yards down the fairway, eventually depositing it in a water hazard, where it promptly sunk. As the rain pelted the now umbrellaless Yew, his playing partner offered some thoughtful advice. “You should’ve brought an umbrella,” he told him. Recalling the incident, Yew, 47, laughed, calling the runaway umbrella “very Mary Poppins-like.” “We don’t often keep score and those stories – the funny things that happen – are the things you remember,” Ezart, 53, said. The pair’s golfing ironman streak was not something they set out to accomplish

Nick Greenizan photo

South Surrey golfers Rob Ezart (left) and Vincent Yew (right) stand near the first tee at Hazelmere Golf Course – where they first met. right away, they admit. Instead, it just came about organically, because they found they enjoyed golfing together. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the two friends met on the golf course. Three years ago, both found themselves waiting to tee off on Hazelmere’s first hole. They were both singles, so they decided to pair up. After each had a good time, they decided to exchange numbers and golf together again. And again. And again. All told, they’ve golfed more than 210 rounds – and counting – in three years, including 80 rounds in 2014. This past December, they even golfed on Christmas Day. The course was closed, they admit, but they just walked on and played a few holes.

“We’ve walked about 835 miles in total – 4.4-million feet,” Ezart said. Ezart tracks all their rounds on a spreadsheet, not so he can keep tabs on his scores, should they decide to keep track, but instead as a way of documenting his physical activity. As a cancer survivor – he had a piece of his foot removed five years ago – Ezart knows the importance of staying active. “When we both met, golf was a really good challenge for us, and something we thought we could really get better at. But then we realized we aren’t going to get any better. We are who we are – I usually shoot in the low 80s, and Vince usually shoots in the high 80s – so we just figured that

PINK in the RINK NIGHT!

keeping score is frustrating, so now we just go out and have fun,” Ezart said. “So many people golf as a way to relax, but then they get out here and they’re mad that they missed a putt, and they get frustrated with their score. It defeats the original purpose – just come out and have a good time.” The game also gives both men a break from the stresses of their full-time jobs. Yew is a commercial bank manager, while Ezart is a senior project manager for a heavyconstruction company. “They’re both busy jobs, high-stress jobs, but we always find the time to golf. You just have to prioritize – this comes before the i see page 20

Pair tees off every weekend i from page 19 wife,” Yew laughed. For the record, both say their wives are understanding of their husbands’ weekend obsession. “There will be times when it’s pouring rain, and it’s cold, and my wife will say, ‘Hey, if you want to go outside and golf in this, go for it,’” Ezart laughed. With so many rounds of golf under their belts, neither have gotten sick of the other, Ezart added. The reason, he figures, is that they don’t

socialize outside of the golf course. “We don’t really have anything else in common,” he explained. “We don’t watch the same television shows, we don’t do the same things, our wives don’t see each other – this is really all we have in common. But it works.” They plan on continuing their once-per-week (at least) tradition well into the future, Yew says. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to keep it going until we’re 70 or 80 – till we can’t walk anymore.”

The myths and truths about chiropractic I have been a practicing chiropractor for over 35 years now. I have been in the White Rock Region for 31 of these years. Over those years people often ask the same questions regarding chiropractic. Although a question not directly asked by patients coming into the office, a percentage of the general public asks “Does it work?” The flat out answer is of course, yes! Chiropractic as a profession has been around officially since 1895. The profession continues to grow

and more and more patients are seeing chiropractors than ever before. The research in peer reviewed journals is overwhelming. Many studies have been done on all aspects of chiropractic with very good results. Chiropractors get good results with their techniques although results do vary from patient to patient. The safety of Chiropractic is another question the general public asks. Chiropractic is among the safest of the healing arts. Chiropractors are well trained professionals with at least 7 years of post high school education. Chiropractors are licensed and registered with the College of Chiropractors of B.C. Chiropractors are required to undertake education each year to maintain their license. Strict regulations are adhered to by the membership. Injuries from Chiropractic are very low. Is Chiropractic care expensive? Chiropractic is very cost effective care. Many British Columbians are covered by third party insurers. Some of these insurers pay 80-100% of the visit fees. Patients are also covered by WorkSafe B.C. and ICBC when involved in accidents. How long is my chiropractic care going to take? This question of course varies from individual to individual and also is based on their clinical picture. Care can last anywhere from a few visits to several visits. It is different from person to person. Sometimes people do require some form of ongoing or maintenance care to provide stability to a particular condition.
