Alleged online offence made public as White Rock council revisits in-camera process

Chesney censured over ‘defamation’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

David Chesney councillor

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced Monday that a councillor was censured by his city colleagues last month after publishing comments that city lawyers considered to be defamatory. A motion of censure was passed against Coun. David Chesney at a March 23 in-camera meeting, according to a statement read by Baldwin, who explained the reprimand resulted in Chesney’s

removal from committees and the deputy-mayor rotation until January 2016. (Council had approved a new rotation list April 13, but Baldwin said then that city officials could not comment because the decision was made in-camera.) “The censure was a result of Coun. Chesney as publisher/editor of the White Rock Sun acting in a manner unbecoming of a city councillor and not in accordance with city policy, respectful workplace policy 405, whereby com-

ments considered to be defamatory were published in the online newspaper,” Baldwin said in his prepared statement. “The defamatory nature of the comments were confirmed by legal counsel.” Asked by Peace Arch News the next day whether the comments – posted online at Chesney’s website, www. whiterocksun.com – were conclusively defamatory, Baldwin said the city’s counsel advised them they were “most likely” defamatory.

“You’d have to go to court to make that determination,” he said. Baldwin said in his statement – and later reaffirmed to PAN – that it was Chesney’s request that the matter be kept in-camera, prior to Monday’s meeting. However, Chesney told PAN Tuesday morning there was “confusion” over that aspect, but that he could not elaborate on the matter as he was awaiting further legal counsel. i see page 2

MP Russ Hiebert is claiming a victory for his contentious private member’s bill seeking full disclosure of labour organization spending, following a day of testimony last week before a Senate committee. In a news release titled ‘C-377 Senate Hearings Confirm Bill Needed and Lawful’ – following Thursday’s hearing of the Senate’s Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee – he said “many of today’s witnesses confirmed (the bill) will deliver real benefits for Canadians in improved transparency and accountability for labour organizations.” Not mentioned in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP’s release is that the committee also heard that day from representatives of the Canadian Bar Association and the Association of Justice Counsel, both of which oppose the bill as an attack on labour unions. The Senate had previously rejected Bill C-377 in June 2013. Its decision was nullified due to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to prorogue Parliament that fall. i see page 9

Thursday was a big day for Bert Paquet. It was likely the last day he’ll ever work in B.C. And he admits it comes with mixed feelings.

School district decision comes after provincial government funding cuts

Surrey nixes courses for graduated adults Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Rather than charge a fee for students looking to upgrade their marks, the Surrey School District will no longer be offering courses to graduated adults. The move comes after the provincial government cut funding to school districts for programs catering to adults who have already received their high school diploma. Until now, those who had graduated – not just in Canada but anywhere in the world – were able to attend district-run learning centres to upgrade free of charge. The province announced the changes in December and they are to take effect May 1. Some school districts, such as Delta and

Vancouver, have opted to continue offering the adult upgrading courses, for a fee of $550 per course. Surrey Trustee Laurae McNally said the district would have had to charge close to $600 per course to continue. “The fee was, what we thought, too much for what the colleges could do it for,” she said. “I’m really sad to see it change because those students… when they actually got their diplomas and got on with their lives… were probably the strongest advocates for the Surrey School District. They never forgot the help they got from us.” Adult education instructor Aaron Douglas told Black Press he felt the provincial funding cuts were particularly unfair for immigrants,

whose high school diplomas aren’t generally recognized by colleges and universities here. Ayesha Rahimyar, 32, is one of those students, having graduated in Pakistan 16 years ago. As a single mom, she wants to get a higher education so she can better support her young family and has been taking classes at Invergarry Adult Education Centre. Already barely able to make ends meet each month, she simply can’t afford to pay tuition. “It’s really stressful,” she says. “If I can’t get an education… what is the hope for the next generation?” In cutting the adult-education funding, the province announced it will offer $7.5 million in grants to low-income adult students to help with tuition.

Other existing adult-education courses will still be offered by the Surrey School District, just not for students who’ve already graduated. While the adult education sites at Queen Elizabeth Secondary and Invergarry will remain in operation, the Newton Adult Education Centre (at Princess Margaret Secondary) will be closed. McNally said it’s too early to say exactly how staff will be affected, but acknowledged some instructors will have to be “absorbed” into other areas. There are about 4,000 full- and part-time adult education students in Surrey, about a third of whom are affected by the change. The government estimates it will save $9 million per year as a result of the cut.

MLA, family mourn

Nephew ‘sweet, respectful’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

As he does most mornings, on April 20, Harry Bains was checking his Twitter account when he saw that a man had been shot and killed in his riding over the weekend. The NDP MLA for Surrey-Newton felt terrible for the aggrieved family and for the community. He retweeted a post saying, “Another day, another shooting.” The escalating gun violence in the city was becoming too much, he thought. More than 20 shootings occurred in Surrey in a month. Half an hour later, he heard the news that would shake his world. The 22-year-old man who was killed was Bains’ nephew, Arun Bains. “The Earth shifted from under our feet,” Bains said. “You never expect news like that to hit you and your family.” Arun was rushed to hospital just before 3 a.m. on April 19, after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He died from his injuries in hospital. The death is believed to be linked to a series of shootings involving rival MLA Harry Bains drug dealers in Surrey-Newton recent weeks. Police say Arun Bains was “known to be associated to the people connected to the street level drug trade conflict.” However, the family says Bains had no links to any such activity. “Arun was not a criminal. He was not a gang member. He was loved by everyone who knew him,” the family said in a statement. “Arun was a fine young man who loved his family and had a bright future ahead of him.” Bains said whenever he saw Arun, he was “very nice, sweet, very respectful. He would go out of his way to help you out.” Police are still investigating.

Peace Arch dental clinic receives $10,000 donation

Group effort ensures smiles stay free Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Volunteers behind the Peace Arch Free Dental Clinic were given a big reason to smile this month – a $10,000 donation that will sustain the clinic’s operations for more than a year to come. The contribution from Prime Time Living is “by far” the largest single donation to come the clinic’s way, and will go a long way to ease the road going forward, said clinic founder Ken Stones. “It’s significant. It takes care of our expenses for a year-and-a-half,” Stones said. “It means I don’t have to scramble around looking for donors. “They’re the sole funders for our clinic now.” The clinic, located in the basement of Peace Arch Hospital’s Weatherby Pavilion, opened more than a decade ago with the support of local Rotary clubs and a two-fold mandate: to treat geriatric patients and provide outreach dental care for clients who lack the financial means to access it otherwise. The outreach side became possible in 2009 with a $5,000 donation from the Semiahmoo Rotary Club (which repeated the donation 18 months later). Since then, the clinic has provided hundreds of patients – about 450 last

year alone – with basic dental care, including pain relief, restorations, extractions and cleanings. The patients are referred through Sources Community Resource Centre, which also manages all of the clinic’s finances. Certified dental assistant Eloise Jacobs-Johnston said Friday the people she sees during the free clinic – where clients are treated on Mondays and Fridays – “rave” about how much they appreciate the service. A core group of about eight dentists and hygienists – all volunteers – work four-hour shifts during clinic hours. Stones noted hygienists of three other dentists see patients at their respective private offices outside of those hours as an extension of the free clinic. The need for more volunteer dentists is everpresent, Stones said, noting there is “always” a wait list of clients. The commitment, he added, is relatively minimal. “Four hours every month or two is what we’re asking,” he said. Prime Time Living partner Judy Freeman said the decision to sponsor the local clinic was an easy one. This is the third year the company has contributed to the effort, she said. “It’s an incredible thing,” said Freeman, who joined Prime Time’s vice-president John Hitch-

cock in presenting the cheque Friday. “It should be in all communities. To us, this just added to the community.” For more information, call 604-542-4357.

Overseas outreach Retired dentist Ken Stones is no stranger to helping those who cannot afford dental care. In addition to running the Peace Arch Free Dental clinic, he organizes two overseas dental outreach trips every year – work he began in 1994. Last year, his Semiahmoo Dental Outreach team held clinics in Vietnam for the third time, and on the Philippine island of Siquijor for the fifth year in a row. On each trip, hundreds of patients, the majority of them children, receive dental care. This year, donations from the Semiahmoo and Peace Arch Rotary clubs – $4,500 each plus $1,000 from other donations – are funding the construction of a permanent dental clinic in Siquijor, which will be manned by visiting foreign dentists. Next month, Stones and his team will head to Iquitos, Peru – the largest city in the world without road access. A return to Siquijor is set for November.

Fraser Health issues advisory as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;precautionary measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Spray safety questioned Jennifer Lang Black Press

As Cloverdale residents geared up for another round of aerial spraying this week to combat the invasive gypsy moth, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing concern about the treatment agent being used. More than 4,500 hectares in Surrey and another 300 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B. The spray contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control caterpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not considered toxic to mammals, plants, birds, fish and beneficial insects, and is approved for use on organic farms. The first set of early-morning treatments, conducted April 15-19 and broadcast by low-flying helicopter, caught some people off guard. Tanya Rowlands said she and her husband developed a sore throat and dry cough, and her dog became ill, requiring an expensive trip to the vet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I attribute all of this to the spraying,â&#x20AC;? she said. Another resident launched an online petition hoping to persuade the Ministry of Forests to discontinue the aerial treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Canada says Btk is safe but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Btk we care about, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foray 48B â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it reads right on the

Ryan Bennett said, adding he and his family members have also experienced symptoms. As of April 27, the petition had gathered more than 1,000 signatures. Saturday, Bennett held a protest outside Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieuxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office that drew more than a dozen people. Round two of the aerial gypsy moth spraying was expected to start yesterday (Tuesday) and last four days, weather permitting. The targeted areas include north of Highway 10 to 80 Avenue, from 144 Street to the Langley border. While there have been a number of unconfirmed reports of residents reporting symptoms associated with spraying, Fraser Health doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back those claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fraser Health is aware of only one incident where an individual

came to hospital as a precaution after not feeling well after the aerial spraying,â&#x20AC;? Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said, noting Health Canada has approved the product for aerial application over populated areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand people have concerns regarding the gypsy moth aerial spraying over Surrey, Cloverdale and Deltaâ&#x20AC;Ś The active ingredient, Btk, is only effective in a caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stomach.Â It is not harmful in humans, livestock, birds, pets, fish or bees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that if untreated, the moth could cause significant damage to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests, orchards, farms and urban trees.â&#x20AC;? On Monday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as a precautionary measure,â&#x20AC;? Fraser Health advised residents to avoid contact with the spray and stay indoors, with windows and doors closed, for at least 30 minutes after the spray has been completed. The spray leaves a residue of droplets that should disappear in about a week. The moths pose a threat to fruitgrowers, because gypsy moths eat the leaves of fruit trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly apple trees, and blueberries and hazelnuts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated the program will cost $1.3 million. For information, call 1-866-917-5999 or visit www.gov.bc.ca/gypsymoth

Federal voters deserve choice

y the time nominations close for the Oct. 19 federal election, voters will have just three weeks to decide who they should entrust as their next member of Parliament. Likely, however, most will have already been forming their opinions for some time. Which makes us wonder why the major political parties haven’t really been vying for our vote locally in the newly redrawn South Surrey-White Rock riding. It’s as if Canada’s opposition parties have decided to concede the riding in favour of Dianne Watts and the Conservatives. With a scant 5½ months to go until the big showdown, there’s only the one proclaimed candidate for the area, formerly held for four terms (as South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale) by Conservative Russ Hiebert – who indicated more than a year ago he would not seek re-election. The Liberals and the NDP have promised a candidate, and the Greens are expected to, as well, but, as of this writing, Watts has no official challengers – and the clock is ticking. Perhaps riding association executives are convinced that whomever they confirm will be such a magnificent choice that the electorate will be instantly swayed. If that’s the case, it’s time for a reality check. It takes time for a candidate to break through as a personality established in the public consciousness, let alone gain traction and trust. Perhaps they are cowed by the area’s reputation as a Conservative stronghold, not to mention Watts’ record as a popular Surrey mayor. If so, they sell themselves – and voters – short. The opposition parties say there many valid issues on which they are prepared to challenge the Conservative government’s record and perceived agenda. Their members have been swift to criticize the riding’s former representative for being unresponsive to the electorate, other than to assiduously trumpet his party’s line. It would appear they have been squandering – for many months, now – an opportunity to hammer their viewpoints home, and establish a candidate’s presence on the local front. At a time when even informal polls seem to indicate that half of the electorate have already made up their minds which way they will vote, this is more than reticence or organizational disarray – it’s an abdication of responsibility. No matter which way South Surrey-White Rock ultimately votes, the local electorate deserves a genuine choice, rather than victory by default. As for the subsequent election, we suggest prospective candidates begin making themselves known on Oct. 20.

system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria. I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety. “These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, ‘Oh my God, this is going to be the end.’ And it turned out to be complete nonsense.” Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a halfhour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.) What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology. There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them. The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions. But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Law is for everyone Editor: Re: PAN online question, April 15-22. You asked “should there be stiffer fines and penalties for distracted driving?” When drivers are stopped for impaired driving, they are subject to a fine and their vehicle impounded, points on their licence or restricted hours for driving. I suggest the same penalties should be enforced for drivers caught driving while talking/ texting on their cellphone, putting on makeup even shaving with their electric razors. If appears these law breakers follow their own law. So, distracted drivers – fine, impound cell for 30 days. Paying fines appears to be an accepted way of the times, so remove their toy. They may get the message that the law is for everyone. And if anyone thinks the bluetooth cell connection in a vehicle is the answer – wrong. To be distracted is to be distracted – cell to your ear or thru your radio, it is still being distracted. Fred Somers, Surrey

Charitable investment Editor: Re: Project making progress, April 17. Just a note to say “thank you” for the excellent article about our South Surrey Rotary Club’s orphanage project in Cambodia. Mention is made that two of our members, Brian O’Ruairc and Stuart Wilson, have gone to Cambodia to oversee the project. These trips are entirely at their own personal expense. They – and we – believe it is prudent to see on site that the money is spent wisely and that good value is being received for this ambitious project. Rotarians appreciate the support we receive from the community and the money raised is spent on local projects and worthy international projects. Don Boyce, Surrey

Areas should be doody-free Editor: Re: Two views on dogs at the beach, April 10 letters. Letter-writer L. Veitch is correct in that there are more dogs at West Beach with no one patrolling it. Crescent Beach has also gone to the dogs, as they seem to be there all year long now although they are only allowed there certain times. I have also often wondered about the sanitary conditions at the beaches after witnessing numerous dogs doing their business in the

sand while their owners just walked on by. Some dogs even had diarrhea, then the tide comes in. Is that really what we want our children to be swimming in? Veitch has made some very valid points, and we should all seriously be thinking about them as more and more of our beaches in the Lower Mainland become contaminated with E. coli. Bylaw enforcement needs to continue to be a strong force at all of the beaches if we are to keep them safe and clean. Cheryl Berti, White Rock Q Re: Canine views frustrate, April 17 letters. In response to letter-writer Katherine Booth’s comment: “(Cats)

have more civilized toilet habits.” I take strong exception to this statement, as each day I must remove feces which a neighbour’s cat buries on a regular basis in my bark mulch. Yes, I am trying various tactics to solve this problem. And incidentally, if dogs require a licence, why not outdoor cats? Patricia Ryan, White Rock

Royally wrong Editor: Re: Heads of state, April 22. It is with some surprise, and even

dismay, that I noted your headline on page 1 of your issue of April 22, reporting on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s visit to Surrey. Accuracy in reporting is essential, particularly in the ‘Whatever’ Age in which we now live. But, whatever else he might be, Harper does not hold that position. By the Constitution of Canada, it is held by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. And long may she reign!

Letter-writers suggest misinformation is being shared as fact by those commenting on the transit plebsicite.

Reading between the transit lines Editor: Newspapers reported last week that the mayor of Vancouver stated after a mayors’ council meeting at the TransLink offices that a ‘no’ in the referendum would imperil access to hundreds of millions of dollars in promised federal funds. Where, exactly, in the budget does the federal government say so? Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock Q Re: Reluctantly getting to ‘no’, April 8 letters. I am rather tired of persons, similar to one letter writer, making very unsubstantiated statements such as, “TransLink’s upper management created this mistrust with mismanagement of funds at every level.” This sounds very impressive, but it is not supported by any referred data. Reading annual reports prepared by accredited auditors disclose no indication of mismanagement of funds handled by TransLink. There have been some decisions which probably needed more explanation to satisfy a curious public or taxpayer. The Compass Card program is one that some alternative possible programs need to be displayed with relative costs, utility and timeliness. It appears that on every level, a large segment of the public seems to believe that governments have money from some imaginary source which can pay for constituents’ wishes and desires as well as these same constituents’ absolute needs. I am not an expert on modern transportation systems, but neither am I a dreamer that believes all I have to do is wish and it shall become a fact. I think more researched thought should be undertaken and evidenced before alleging all manner of wrongdoing. David G. Sparks, Surrey Q Re: Surrey MLAs scold ‘no’ forces, March 10. Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt was a respected Surrey councillor for many years after he realized he couldn’t upstage Dianne Watts when she ousted Doug McCallum to become the best mayor Surrey ever had since I moved to Surrey in 1978.

However, he is slipping back since he was elected to the BC Liberal Party, whose doctrine should not be confused with the national Liberal Party of Canada. Hunt and his cohorts say ‘no’ voters in the plebiscite are giving TransLink a “bad rap”. Would Hunt do something I don’t recall ever seeing since the SkyTrain began to operate in 1986, and that is an in-depth audit of the TransLink receipts and expenditures – including the salaries of the TransLink board members – thereby letting every taxpayer know where our money has been spent? Now, Hunt and others state unequivocally that the transit system in B.C. is equivalent to any transit system in North America and elsewhere. I beg to differ. I have spent four years in Washington, D.C., and three years in New York City, where I travelled daily by subway from Forest Hills, Long Island to Manhattan at a cost of $2 a day round-trip. I have also visited Montreal and Chicago on occasion. In Chicago, Montreal and Washington, the price was basically the same. In Toronto, you can board a bus at Pearson Airport for $2.50, transfer onto the subway and travel from one end of Toronto and back. In none of these cities is there a zone fare and, please note, everyone boarding a subway platform has to pass through a turnstile, so it is not possible to board a train without paying. The error was made when it was decided there would be no turnstiles at B.C. rapid-transit stations. Big mistake, as it has turned out – an estimated loss of revenue of approximately $2 million a year from 1986, totalling $59 million over the 29 years of SkyTrain’s existence. Just think of how much money the TransLink board could have had to waste over the past 29 years. I take umbrage with quasi-politicians who use their ‘superior knowledge’ to tell people which way to vote, when they are no better informed than the rest of the populace. And if they are better informed, it is their duty to tell their constituents the truth, and thus far without a public financial audit not even the politicians know where the money is being spent and/or wasted. Voting ‘yes’ would be like buying a pig in a poke. J.R. Marshall, Surrey

Myra Merkal to walk 500-km Camino de Santiago to raise funds for all-abilities park

Fundraiser to retrace pilgrims’ journey Nick Greenizan

Staff Reporter

itting on the coffee table of Myra Merkal’s Victoria Avenue home is a children’s book that, right on the cover, asks an important question – Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? The answer, in Merkal’s case, is yes, they certainly do. “I saw it, and I just had to buy it,” she explained. “How could I not?” Merkal, after all, is the founder and chief organizer of White Rock’s annual Princess Party, which for the past five years has entertained the area’s young girls and boys while also raising money for a proposed allabilities playground on White Rock’s East Beach. And next month, Merkal will lace up her own hiking boots. Along with her sister, Sylvia, and three friends – including Surrey resident Linda Sprangers – Merkal will make a 500-km trek along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. They’ll start their journey May 20 in Pamplona, and plan to finish in Santiago June 12. The trip – which Merkal has dubbed the “Soul2Sole” – is also a fundraiser for the playground initiative, which has been a focus for the White Rock native, and others like the White Rock Firefighters, for the last five years. Merkal – whose son, Evan Bird, is a White Rock firefighter – has raised about $1,500 in pledges so far for the journey, and is aiming to raise $5,000. In the past five years, $68,000 has been raised for the park through the White Rock Firefighters Charity Association. Merkal predicts that about $600,000 will be needed to build the playground, when all is said and done. And while the annual princess parties have been successful, selling out each year, Merkal realized recently that if she’s ever to get close to that $600,000 number, she’d have to do even more. And she hopes her current effort will even inspire others to get on board. “There’s five of us women – we’re all over 60 – and we’re going to be walking about 25 km a day,” Merkal said. “I’m excited about the physical challenge – if I can do it, anyone can do it. “I really do want to inspire people. Number one, I’m doing it to raise funds for the allabilities park… and secondly, I want to inspire other people to do things. It doesn’t matter what your age is – I’m 67 years old, and I’m practising to do this big trek.

In preparation for her upcoming trek along the Camino de Santiago, Myra Merkal has been going on long training walks on the Peninsula. Hopefully it inspires people to do some things to help us raise more money. I want people to say, ‘Wow’ look what they’re doing for this park. How can we get involved, too?’” Already, the response locally has been good, she said. Each week, Merkal laces up her hiking boots, picks up her backpack and heads out on training walks. Often, she’s stopped along the way and asked what she’s doing – and people are excited to hear about her 500-km adventure. The Camino de Santiago – also known as the Way of St. James – is the name of a

series of Christian pilgrimage routes from the Middle Ages. It is rumoured that Saint James was buried in Santiago, at the end of the route. Travellers along any of the paths carry with them passports, which are then stamped at cathedrals – and sometimes hostels – in each village along the way. In Santiago, travellers take part in a service at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. In 2013, Merkal and her sister – who lives in Germany – completed the final 100 km of the route, and took in the service at the cathedral. “It’s just amazing. Once you’ve completed this journey, and it’s physically draining, you can just feel the emotions come right up

into your throat,” she said, adding that doing one-fifth of the route “wet our whistle” and inspired them to do the entire journey this time around. “You walk through forests, and through villages, and you see people and sheep and cows, and there’s hills… Just the walk itself, you can really imagine yourself being back thousands of years. The spirituality of it, this whole pilgrimage, is just incredible.” To donate online to Merkal’s trek, visit www.youcaring.com and search for “Soul2Sole” in the search window.

Auxiliary fundraiser to help purchase ‘patient comforts’

Evening of fashion and fare Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A fundraiser to purchase medical equipment for Peace Arch Hospital that “just doesn’t get bought otherwise” is set for 6-9 p.m. May 7 at Gracepoint Church in South Surrey. Marketplace & Fashion Show 2015, organized by the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group of the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society, is to be an evening of shopping, fashion, more shopping, door prizes and dessert. In 2013, about 230 people attended, raising $5,600 for the cause. This year, organizers are hoping for at least 300 guests and to raise even more funds. Group member Kathy McIntyre – a retired PAH emergency nurse – said feedback from the first event has been incorporated to improve the experience for everyone. Changes include the addition of more – and more varied – fashions, and the extension of the catwalk about 20 feet into the crowd for better viewing. McIntyre and fellow auxiliaries Jane Jamieson and Joan Dewinetz lauded the contributions of fashion-show organizer Rhonda McJannet, a local resident who donates her time to the effort. “We couldn’t do this without her,” McIntyre said. The show will feature fashions from Edge, Beaches Swimwear, Suzanne’s, Jenny’s, Riverside Golf & Tennis Wear and Pennington’s. Items for sale from about 20 marketplace vendors will range from hair clips to handmade jewelry to chocolate. Proceeds from the evening will be put towards purchasing minor capital equipment. In the past, such “patient comforts” have included things like GlideScopes (assists in intubating patients), Isoflex mattresses (which prevent bed sores) and a pneumatic tourniquet. Requests on the wish list this year total around $375,000 and every auxiliary group is organizing “every fundraiser they can think of ” in an effort to

meet the need. “We support as much as we can,” McIntyre said. McIntyre, Jamieson and Dewinetz are among 11 members of the Kay Hogg Goodwill Group, which formed in honour of Dewinetz’s mother. Her father, Dr. Al Hogg, was the city’s first doctor. Other fundraisers organized by the group each year include a kitchen tour, a Joy of Music evening and a meat sale. Tickets to Marketplace & Fashion Show 2015 are $25. They are available at the hospital gift shop, participating stores, or by calling 604-5365634 or 604-535-8552. They will not be sold at the door. Gracepoint Church is located at 3487 King George Blvd.

ParentGuidAprile For Families with Young Children: Plan the Perfect Experience for Mother’s Day Mother’s day is approaching, and for families with young children, a memorable experience is a great alternative to a classic gift. Young children are thrilled to be part of the planning process, from making lists of Mother’s day breakfast ideas, to lists of things to do with their mom. Allowing children to be part of the experience enables them to understand how they can truly make someone special to them smile. It also empowers children to think through the process of giving. As a mother, there is nothing more wonderful than receiving a handcrafted card, decorated with stick figures, words with spelling mistakes, or even letter-like forms that don’t spell anything at all. Children may sometimes confuse what they want to do with what they think their mom will want to do. Gently remind them of the purpose of this day and watch as their simple ideas develop into a perfect memory. Contributing writer: Nadia Hasan | CEO | Academics preKindergarten™

The life of a young Peninsula man who bravely fought cancer for years will be celebrated this weekend. Eric Dorchester, 23, passed away April 16, nearly five years after he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, the same cancer that claimed the life of Terry Fox. In 2013, a year after Dorchester lost his leg below the knee, he spoke to Peace Arch News about the experience and how his determination allowed him to still snowboard, wake board and rock climb. “Other than being able to sprint, I’m just as mobile as ever,” Dorchester, an Earl Marriott grad, said at the time. “I don’t know if I would go back and change it all. It’s probably made me a better person.” In announcing his passing on social media, Dorchester’s older brother, Guy, wrote of Eric’s positive outlook and how he inspired those around him. “Eric has left behind him a legacy of inspiration from all the

Meals on Wheels helping residents on Peninsula for more than four decades

Seniors’ program delivers food, friendship T

here’s nothing quite like a visit from a good friend – especially when they come to your home bearing a tasty home-cooked meal. The volunteers at White Rock’s Meals on Wheels program have been providing hot, delicious and healthy food, delivered with a smile, for more than 45 years. There are many reasons why seniors in the community may want to sign up for a mealdelivery service, according to program co-ordinator Pat Patton. Whether their clients are recovering from illness or injury, unable to safely cook for themselves any longer, or simply want a break from cooking, Patton says Meals on Wheels can offer as little or as much help as they need. “We come on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and we do deliver on public holidays,” Patton explained. “Sometimes our clients don’t want us to deliver all three days, so it can be personally tailored to whatever they would like.” The meals are prepared fresh at Evergreen Campus of Care, and although the program offers a set menu, Patton said she is able to specialize the meals slightly Contributed photos based on preference and dietary A group of Meals on Wheels volunteers gather to discuss the day’s deliveries.

In addition to the friendships that are made between clients and volunteers, Patton said there is a great sense of camaraderie among the program’s volunteers, who meet briefly on the mornings they deliver before heading out on the road. “Some of our volunteers have been with us for decades, and luckily we’re getting some nice new ones,” Patton said. “We have young mothers with children in schools, to people still delivering in their 80s.” Patton encourages anyone who is interested in the program – whether as a volunteer or client – to call the office at 604-541-6352. Potential clients are welcome to test the program out for a week or two to see if it’s something that will suit their needs, she said. “Give yourself a holiday,” Patton said. “When you think of how many meals you’ve made in a lifetime, these are meals you don’t have to shop for, you don’t have to cook and you can even recycle the dishes.” More information can also be found online at www. whiterockmealsonwheels.com

Internal Scar Tissue: A silent health menace Internal scar tissue is a common, yet often undiagnosed or misunderstood condition causing signi cant pain and mobility limitations. Cold Laser Therapy is a promising treatment, triggering the body’s natural ability to overcome internal scar tissue.

Internal scar tissue is a condition impacting many individuals with signi cant pain and resulting mobility limitations. But it’s often not recognized as that -- even by experienced healthcare professionals. Diagnosis is hampered by the fact, that internal scar tissue doesn’t typically show up as di erent from surrounding normal tissues in X-rays, MRI and CT scans. However, it can be seen during surgery and if it’s close enough to the surface, it can be felt to the touch by practitioners speci cally trained in internal scar tissue detection.

Langley resident tries Cold Laser Therapy to overcome debilitating knee pain David has been running, both competitively and recreationally, for his entire life. He has completed multiple marathons and long distance events, and is very passionate about the sport. Quite a number of years ago, David started experiencing knee pain that a ected his ability to run. His doctor suggested surgery on his knees to remove debris from behind his kneecaps that may have been the cause of his pain. So David went through with the procedure, in the hope that it would reduce his knee pain. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t put an end to his knee pain. Eventually it became just too much to bear, so he reduced his running. But to stay active, while also reducing the stress on his knees, he took up cycling and tness training. However, even w i t h t h e s e l owe r i mp a c t activities, David found that his knees were sore, no matter what activity he did. He always had pain, but just toughed it out, assuming that this was just the way it was going to be. When David visited Solaj Wellness Centre, he was very skeptical. He had heard about Cold Laser erapy from his personal trainer and was encouraged to give it a try. All he wanted to do was, to be able to run freely, without pain. Having tried many other therapies without meaningful and lasting success, he had an understandably dif cult time believing that laser therapy would be any di erent. But still - if his personal trainer was right - the upside of stopping the pain in his knee was considerable, so he decided to give Cold Laser erapy a chance.

After the rst 3 treatments, David started to notice slightly less pain in his knees. Although it was subtle, it was a step in the right direction, encouraging him to continue with the therapy. After 6 treatments, his initial scepticism turned into real hope, as he was running with almost no pain and noticed that the remaining pain would subside much sooner after exercising than before. He also found that his knees were not as sore as they used to be during his personal training sessions, and with much reduced pain levels, physical activity just seemed easier. After 13 treatments over a 7 week period, hope had turned to satisfaction and David was able to end his treatments, as he was back to running and exercising without any of his previous symptoms. Email om David: I have had problems with my knees for at least the past 20 years. After years of running high mileage weeks and the marching of time they started to give me problems. I kept reducing my running frequency and distance down to once per week, then I had to quit running altogether. In the last few years I have been using the services of a personal trainer and had been working on strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Still to no real effect. A few months ago I went to Solaj, and within a few sessions of the Cold Laser Therapy my knees started to feel better. I went a couple of times a week for seven weeks. After that I started running again, starting slowly and short distances, building it up to where I'm now running 3 times per week and my distances have increased as well. Also, lately I've changed my training methods and I'm convinced that the Cold Laser treatments were the catalyst to the change. After long periods in my car and after my gym workouts, I am able to walk without any signs of stiffness or instability. I'm contemplating running a 10k in the new year and my goal is under 50 minutes for the distance. This doesn't sound like an accomplishment for someone who used to be much faster, but for someone who couldn't run at all it's wonderful. I can highly recommend Cold Laser Therapy for anyone who has overuse injuries. David

Changes in mood, language problems among Alzheimer society’s list of 10 warning signs

Early diagnosis critical for dementia patients seniors B health

eginning today, the Seniors Health Network each month will pose a question to a health-care professional. This month the Alzheimer society was asked: “My husband seems to be getting increasingly forgetful and confused. He often doesn’t remember if he has had breakfast and sometimes he forgets our kids’ names. What should I do?” Avalon Tournier from Alzheimer BC says: I would suggest you call your doctor so a health-care professional can examine and test your husband. There are many possible causes for his memory loss, and it is possible this is being caused by a reversible condition. If your husband is diagnosed with any form Avalon Tournier of dementia, I suggest Alzheimer BC you call the Alzheimer Society of BC. We have a series of workshops called “The family Caregiver Series” which can help caregivers communicate better with the person with memory loss. The Alzheimer society also offers regular caregiver support group meetings which will provide current information and a place to find support and friendship with others whose life has been affected by a memoryloss condition. You can also call our local office at 604-541-0606 and request a one-to-one appointment with a team member, pick up information or receive detailed information about our caregiver support groups.

Fraser Health also suggests: • If you have concerns about someone experiencing forgetfulness and confusion, review the Alzheimer Society’s website (www. alzheimer.ca/en/bc) or call 1-800-936-6033. • Discuss these concerns with your doctor. • Early diagnosis is important. There are several treatable conditions that have symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Early diagnosis is also key to get connected with resources and services. To help you know what to look for, the Alzheimer Society has developed the following list of 10 warning signs: 1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day function It’s normal to occasionally forget appointments, colleagues’ names or a friend’s phone number and remember them later. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may forget things more often and not remember them later, especially things that have happened more recently. 2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks Busy people can be so distracted from time to time that they may leave the carrots on the stove and only remember to serve them at the end of a meal. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may have trouble with tasks that have been familiar to them all their lives, such as preparing a meal. 3. Problems with language Everyone has trouble finding the right word sometimes, but a person with Alzheimer’s disease may forget simple words or substitute words, making her sentences difficult to understand. 4. Disorientation of time and place It’s normal to forget the day of the week or

your destination - for a moment. But a person with Alzheimer’s disease can become lost on their own street, not knowing how they got there or how to get home. 5. Poor or decreased judgment People may sometimes put off going to a doctor if they have an infection, but eventually seek medical attention. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may have decreased judgment, for example not recognizing a medical problem that needs attention or wearing heavy clothing on a hot day. 6. Problems with abstract thinking From time to time, people may have difficulty with tasks that require abstract thinking, such as balancing a chequebook. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may have significant difficulties with such tasks, for example not recognizing what the numbers in the chequebook mean. 7. Misplacing things Anyone can temporarily misplace a wallet or keys. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in inappropriate places: an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. 8. Changes in mood and behaviour Everyone becomes sad or moody from time to time. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease can exhibit mood swings – from calm to tears to anger – for no apparent reason. 9. Changes in personality People’s personalities can change somewhat with age. But a person with Alzheimer’s disease can become confused, suspicious or withdrawn. Changes may also include apathy, fearfulness or acting out of character.

10. Loss of initiative It’s normal to tire of housework, business activities or social obligations, but most people regain their initiative. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may become very passive, and require cues and prompting to become involved. Again – if you notice any of these symptoms, be sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor! Avalon Tournier is the Support and Education Co-ordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC and is responsible for Surrey, North Delta and White. Her office number is 604-541-0606. The South Surrey White Rock Seniors Health Network is a community-based coalition of multiple seniors service providers led by Dr. Grace Park and working under the auspices of the mayor of White Rock.

complex medical issues, a restful night’s sleep can provide muchneeded comfort. For those residents who are quite frail or spend a significant amount of time in bed, the provision of a specialized sleeping surface, such as the Isogel mattress will promote skin integrity and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. We were able to purchase a pneumatic tourniquet last year. The pneumatic tourniquet is used for all applicable orthopedic procedures done on upper and lower limbs. It is used on a daily basis at Peace Arch Hospital. It stops the blood flow and provides the surgeon with a clear view. It can also be used to confine local anesthetic to the limb, avoiding

the need for a general anesthetic. The newly purchased tourniquet has an easy-to-clean touch screen with a large display and easyto-use to buttons. It is smaller and lighter than the previous tourniquets we have used in the OR. This piece of equipment cost more than $18,000. Last year, we were also able to purchase a small hand joint drill which is used for putting in screws and plates by orthopedic surgeons. This small piece of equipment cost more than $14,000.

Q: Why should I crate train my dog?

www.marlintravel/782

GET GOLF READY Q: Does inspire new golfers to

Dogs are den animals. They need a space where they can get away from the hustle and bustle of family life when they need a break. Having a dark quiet space that is only for them is an excellent way for them to relieve stress. It is important to let your dog know that the crate is a happy place and you should never use it for punishment. Feeding your dog in their crate is a good way for them to associate it with something they enjoy. Feeding them high value treats and bones in the crate also creates that positive association. When a dog is happy using a crate, it makes grooming visits or if they need to stay over at the vet less stressful. Also, if you are visiting family and there is a lot going on, you can give your dog their own space where they can get away and remain relaxed. For assistance in crate training or any other dog related question, please call Dog Utopia at 604-541-8120 or visit our website at www.dogutopia.ca.

You may have hearing loss if you: • Have difficulty hearing or understanding women and children (the first sign of hearing loss is often the loss of high-frequency hearing) • Have trouble understanding what people are saying, particularly in noisy situations such as crowded rooms, shopping malls, or busy restaurants Hearing loss can also take a toll on your emotional well-being. The psychological effects of hearing loss include: Gary Galandie, BC-HIS Registered Hearing • A sense of threatened security (Will I be able to Instrument Practitioner hear a fire alarm? A car horn?) • Withdrawal from social situations you once enjoyed • Distancing yourself from family and friends because it’s too difficult to participate in the conversation As well, you have a higher risk of hearing loss if you: • Use certain ototoxic drugs • Have a family history of hearing loss • Have diabetes, heart, circulation, or thyroid problems All of these signs are reliable indicators of hearing loss, but the only way to know for sure is to have your hearing tested by a qualified professional.

Q: What Should You Do to Relieve Low Back Pain? A:

Stretching for low back pain seems to be a common trend among back pain suffers. People with back pain tend to stretch out their low back, or lumbar spine, only to wake up the next day feeling worse.

Although it feels good in the moment, by Dr. Ryan Flatt stretching your lumbar spine today 1 IN 8 Chiroprator you are ensuring yourself more CANADIANS pain and stiffness tomorrow. report having chronic This may seem counterintuitive, however, these stretches back problems actually lead to more cumulative damage. The reason 31% OF CANADIANS stretching provides temporary relief is due to perception report activity limitations via the stimulation of the muscle stretch receptors. This can because of pain & discomfort cause more harm than good as you are stretching already 12% OF CANADIANS elongated and strained muscles. missed work because So what is it that you need to do? of an episode of back pain The simple truth is you need to stop stretching your lumbar spine. This eliminates extra spinal flexion and reduces strain. Focus instead on stabilizing the lumbar spine, mobilizing the hips and thoracic spine and teaching proper movement technique. This strategy will help eliminate the urge to stretch multiple times a day just to get temporary relief.

Q: How does coolsculpting work? A:

Dentures don’t last forever... Nothing does. And while it’s true that the modern denture is more durable than ever before, you can still break a tooth or the denture base by simply dropping them a few inches. Even with painstaking care, denture teeth can lose their natural appearance and chewing ability due to the cumulative effects of chewing, brushing and age. Plus, your mouth changes over time.

Tanya Little and Gordon Brown Denturists

We will look for: • poor fit due to bone loss - examine for abnormalities, loss of facial support • wear on the top surface of your back teeth and shortening of front teeth • ability to chew without discomfort As a result, you can expect us to recommend refitting your dentures every 2-3 years and replacing every 5-7. Most insurance companies will cover these recommendations. Please visit our website for more useful information and videos. www.envisiondenture.com

CoolSculpting performs cryolipolysis. The term “cryolipolysis” refers to Cryo=Cold Lipo=Fat Lysis=break up A special gelpad is put on the skin to protect the skin’s surface. The machine has a treatment head that suctions itself to your skin to assure complete contact. It quickly cools the tissue Caree Ludwar to a predetermined level. Continuous cooling is applied above the temperature of freezing. The temperature is at a level that is safe for the skin, blood vessels and nerves, but destructive to the fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed (dead), the body recognizes that they are no longer needed and a gradual process occurs where the fat cells and fat material is cleared away. This is a permanent reduction in fat cells. The fat cells are degraded by enzymes. The actual fat is transported through the lymphatic system, and converted to energy just like the fat that you eat. This is a natural process, and your body is already fully equipped to handle the destroyed fat cells and remove them as well as manage the fat that is released. This process is gradual and takes a few months, so a slow gradual improvement is noted. Results are usually seen within 8-10 weeks and continue to improve up to four months. Proven results without surgery or invasive procedures.

Enchanting South India Tour!

FEBRUARY 8 - 24, 2016

February 8th - 24th, 2016 $

Namaste! Welcome to India, one of the most diverse nations on

Earth. A vast landscape of ancient civilizations, endless contrasts and an array of spiritual beliefs make it a fascinating country to explore. After three trips to North India I thought it was time to explore the equally unique states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Travelling coast to coast from the Bay of Bengal to the Arabian Sea we are in for a fascinating array of sights and experiences. The “Land of Temples” state of Tamil Nadu is the southern most Indian state nestled in the south Indian peninsula on the shores of the Bay of Bengal and the deep blue Indian Ocean. This state has more than 30,000 temples quite a few of which are Unesco World Heritage sites.Tamil language is one of the classical languages of the world with literature spanning over 2000 years and the pride of its people, luckily for us English is also widely spoken! The wondrous combination of ancient temples and the astounding ornate temples built in the last few hundred years is not to be seen anywhere else. Their culture including the arts, dance, literature and Hindu religion have endured for centuries and is right there alongside the colorful India of today. It is a heady combination of tropical climate ,cool hill resorts, ancient culture, beaches, wildlife parks, coffee and tea plantations, friendly people and much more. And let’s not forget the inviting culinary delights this area is famous for! A stop in French flavored Pondicherry lets us take advantage of the spices of India alongside a coffee and French pastry on the promenade. On to wondrous Kerala “God’s Own Country” a sliver of a state in India’s deep south. With 600km of Arabian Sea coast the beaches coupled with the famous network of backwaters, spice and tea plantations and forest reserves make it a delight Meenakshi Temple to visit. Envision unending green hills with the scent of teas and spices, a variety of wildlife including elephants and the ever elusive tiger and exotic colorful birds everywhere. Coconut groves soar from the waters edge as we slowly meander the backwaters in our houseboat and watch daily life unfold all around us. We enter this state by way of Periyar in the Western Ghats and one of India’s best wildlife preserves where we spend several days amongst its cool forests. A visit to an elephant camp for a morning to feed, bath, ride and generally interact with these majestic animals is on the docket, you may get wet! Kerala seems a world away from the sometimes overwhelming organized chaos of other parts of India and its here one can take a breath and enjoy the majestic scenery and more laid back local life style. Boat rides on the lake, mountain walks, ayurverdic massages, animal viewing, its all here. Seeing is believing and I look forward to your taking this great opportunity to take this extraordinary journey to South India with me.

Brain atrophy takes place when the connections between cells in the brain are damaged, or the cells in general are lost. This condition can be caused by a number of issues including natural aging. Symptoms of brain atrophy may include memory loss, lack of motor skills, reduced reading skill and difficulty with speech. A recent study from Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute on Aging found individuals with untreated hearing loss who underwent annual MRI’s, over a 10 year period, showed an average 1 cubic centimeter of brain tissue loss per year. More importantly, there was significant atrophy in the brain structures responsible for processing sound and speech. Naturally, the brain becomes smaller with age however untreated hearing loss may accelerate brain shrinkage. While changes in brain structure are expected with aging, areas responsible for hearing and speech perception are not isolated. Closely related areas help with memory and sensory integration and have been shown to be involved in the early stages of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Frank Lin M.D. Ph.D. and head of the study emphasized the urgency of treating

Semiahmoo Minor Hockey aims to revive juvenile program

‘Let’s give kids the option to keep playing’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Douglas Cannon Semi Hockey

Every time Douglas Cannon hears a 17-year-old midget player announce that it’s his last year playing hockey, it breaks his heart. Cannon – like many others, to be sure – believes hockey is a game that can be played for a lifetime, but as players “age out” of the minor hockey system, many quit the game altogether. And while some will pick up the

sport later as adults, Cannon feels it’s important to bridge that gap between midget hockey and adult leagues. It’s why he and others at Semiahmoo Minor Hockey are aiming to revive the association’s juvenile division, for players aged 18-20. Semi has not iced a juvenile squad since the 2010/11 season, though other nearby associations – in Cloverdale and Langley – have teams, on which a few former Semiahmoo juvenile-aged

players have played in recent years, in lieu of a Semi-based team. Semiahmoo aims to have at least one juvenile team ready for the 2015 season this fall. “My primary goal is to stop kids from saying, and believing, that it’s their last year of hockey,” explained Cannon, Semiahmoo’s juvenile-division co-ordinator. “It’s such a shock to hear that. It’s always baffled me that you play a sport all through elementary school

and high school, and then just all of a sudden, you quit what you love. “Semiahmoo has more than enough (potential) players to get a team together, so it just made sense to try – let’s give these kids the option to keep playing.” Cannon concedes there are other reasons, aside from a lack of playing options, that cause some to quit when they reach 17 or 18 years old. At that i see page 32

Newton football star expected to be selected in this week’s draft

Covington eyes NFL Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter

The next few days will be the biggest of Christian Covington’s life. After playing three seasons of NCAA football with the Rice University Owls in Houston, Texas, the 21-year-old has declared himself eligible for the National Football League Draft. And if the countless mock drafts on football websites are accurate, Covington will be among a handful of Canadians chosen. Just 30 Canadians have been drafted over the past three decades. “I’m nervous, I’m anxious,” he admitted. “I want to get it over with and go back to football. But it’s a process, and you have to allow the process to unravel at its own pace.” Covington is back in Newton, at home with his parents, where friends and family will join him to watch this weekend’s draft. “This is very much a good mental break,” he told Black Press Sunday, taking a break from power-washing the driveway. “I find myself at my most relaxed when I’m with my family.” The first round, with each of the 32 NFL teams making one selection, takes place Thursday night. The second and third rounds are Friday evening, with rounds four through seven set for Saturday. Covington admits it will be difficult to watch while waiting to hear his name called, adding his father, Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Grover Covington, is “kind of stressing out, too.” “I have family coming in from Winnipeg, from California, from Houston. Just to have family and good friends around me, nothing better than that,” Christian said. “Hopefully it’s over quick. Realistically, I’m hoping to hear my name called Friday. If not, I just get to have that time with my family for that much longer.” Since he left for Rice in 2011, his visits home have been few, and usually short. His current i see page 32

Hockey should be ‘lifetime sport’ i from page 31 age, many players graduate high school and head off to college or join the workforce, and their priorities change. But in the midst of all those new life changes, Cannon – who played juvenile hockey for Semiahmoo in the 1970s – said continuing to play hockey can be a “welcome break from your new reality.” “You’ve got all these changes going on in your life, but once or twice a week, you can have something familiar, where not everything’s coming at you brand

new,” he said. Cannon said some of his best memories are from his days playing minor hockey, including juvenile. “When I played, it was a very welcome part of my life,” he said. “And if you ask any player what their best memories are, it’s the road trips and the friendships they made.” Depending on numbers, it is possible that Semiahmoo could ice multiple juvenile teams – including, potentially, an ‘A’ division squad – but for now, the initial focus will be on putting

together a house-league/noncontact team. “It would be up to the kids, whether they’d want to play ‘A’ or at the rec-level, but for now, just letting the kids know is the first step,” he said. “Adult hockey leagues are noncontact, so hopefully we can provide a transition between youth and adult hockey. This is the hockey you’re going to play for the rest of your life.” For more information, visit www.semihockey.ca. Those who register before April 30 will save $100 on fees.

Draft a chance to ‘capture a dream’ i from page 31 stay ranks among the longest, and is a welcome break from academics and athletics, both of which he excelled at in Houston. Expected to receive his degree in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine in December, Covington redshirted (practised, but did not play) in 2011. He played in 12 games as a freshman in 2012, and in 2013 was a Conference USA allstar while recording 59 tackles and four sacks on an Owls team that won the conference championship. Covington said the championship was what he will remember most about being an Owl. “Not many players can say they’ve been on a team that’s a

part of school history,” he said. “It was the first one in 56 years, it was unbelievable.” A knee injury limited his participation to just seven games last season. The injury sidelined him for the final five games of the schedule, as well as for the Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 in Honolulu. Covington considered returning to Rice, “but once I was able to get away from football and school life, I took that time to… be with my family, and think about what’s best for me. I thought this was an opportunity to capture a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid. “I don’t regret my decision, I’m fully recovered.” Since the injury, he has had

workouts with the Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. Should Covington achieve his goal of playing in the NFL, he will have followed a similar career path as his American-born father. Grover, a North Carolina native, travelled north of the border for a 10-year Hall-of-Fame career in Canada with the Hamilton TigerCats. After settling in Surrey, he and wife Natasha are now watching their Canadian-born son possibly head south to play as a pro. “It’s kind of funny to think about that,” the younger Covington said, adding he never thought of the coincidence. “It’s kind of ironic.”

OBITUARIES

Paul entered fully into the presence of His Lord & Savior on Saturday, April 25, 2015, at the age of 55 years, following a four-month battle with cancer. He was a Godly man who maintained optimism by the strength of the Lord and devoted all his considerable determination to what he - and we knew was to be a titanic battle. It is with great sadness to announce that the Lord has called him home. Paul was preceded in death by his parents John and Elisabeth as well as his nephew Jesse. He is survived by his 5 children, Rob (Jennifer), Jeremy, Jeff, Brittany and Brianne; by the mother of his children, Wendy; his 3 grandchildren, Emma, Nolan and Evelyn: his girlfriend Sandra; 7 siblings Pete (Diane), John (Jan), Tina (Karl), Jeannette (Harry), Elsa (Paul), Randy (Brenda), and Arnie. Paul is deeply missed by other extended family members and countless friends and neighbours. Paul was a remarkable father and businessman, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend. He was a pillar to many families and friends around him. He was an incredible soul who made countless sacrifices so that his children could become the people they are today. A service of celebration, of Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, will be held on Friday, May 1, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. at SouthRidge Fellowship Baptist Church 22756 - 48 Avenue Langley, BC with Pastor Doug Smith officiating. Condolences for the family may be left online at www.arbutusfuneralservice.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us remember Paul as he touched the world gently, but left deep footprints.â&#x20AC;?

INFORMATION

McCONNELL, Edward Walter (Ted) Veteran, PEng 1921-2015 Ted passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of April 14, 2015, in the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion following a lengthy illness in Peace Arch Hospital. Ted was born August 27, 1921 in Calgary Alberta to Lola and Earl McConnell. He leaves to mourn, his loving wife Doris after 66 years of marriage, and 2 sons, Don and Jim (Maureen) of BC, one grandson, Travis (Christian) and 2 great-grandchildren, Lily and Parker, of Toronto, 2 sisters-in-law Lillian Saar, and Beatrice Schieman in Ottawa, and several nieces and nephews as well as cousins in Ont., AB and BC. He was predeceased by his parents and his older brother Jim who was killed early in WWII in a pilot training accident in England. Ted enlisted in The Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 and served as pilot instructor on many bases across Canada. He also flew coastal patrol out of Halifax and was there on VE Day. He was discharged in 1946. At the outbreak of the Korean War he was asked to re-enlist by the RCAF and rejoined in 1950. He served as Base Construction Engineering officer across Canada until 1969 when he reached the mandatory retirement age for his rank (Major). In all he served in the RCAF for 24 years. He loved flying and flew till the day he retired at Cold Lake, AB. Between the 2 wars, Ted studied and received his BSc in mining engineering from the University of Alberta in 1949. After graduation he was a strip mine manager in Coleman, AB. until 1950 when he re-enlisted. Following his release from service, he joined the Northern Alberta Inst. Of Technology in Edmonton, teaching math to tradespeople in the Continuing Ed. Dept. He was there from 1970 until 1986 when he reached 65. He then moved back to his beloved Calgary. He enjoyed gardening, curling, bridge and playing golf. He also volunteered for 15 years at Bethany Lifeline, demonstrating and installing life line units. We also travelled extensively. He walked the great wall of China and especially enjoyed the many cruises we took. When his health started to fail him in his early 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, our sons who worked and lived in Vancouver encouraged us to move to BC to be closer to them So in 2004 we moved to White Rock, then Surrey. We wish to thank Dr. D. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary and the many nurses and staff at Peace Arch Hospital and Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion for the wonderful care he received. A funeral service will be held Monday, May 4th at 3 p.m. in Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 2350-148 St., Surrey, BC, with Pastor Peter Hanson officiating.
