A garden of promise By Jennifer Lang Volunteer green thumbs are invited to join Cloverdale’s newest gardening venture, the Cloverdale Community Garden. There’s no experience necessary – just a desire to get more involved with your community, from the ground up. “Come and learn to garden if you don’t know how,” says Zipporah Hantke, one of the organizers. The just-launched project will grow organic veggies, fruits, berries and herbs for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen and community cooking classes. The programs are based out of Pacific Community Church, located at 5337 180 St., where a neglected corner of the back parking lot is being transformed into a productive agricultural space.
“It’s for the community,” Hantke says. “We want the community in here.” A work party on March 28 saw the installation of 12, 4-by-8-foot raised garden beds plus six herb boxes. Andrea Ashton – part of the core group of volunteers involved so far – says the garden will grow spinach, chard, beans, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, squash and herbs. Cherry and apple trees will be planted, along with bee-friendly flowers and berry bushes. Planting will begin in earnest later this spring. Workers will be required throughout the summer. “We’re hoping to have a harvest celebration in the fall, with a meal,” Hantke smiles, her mind already filled with imSee GARDEN / Page 3

Marking a McHappy anniversary Celebrating 40 years with McDonald’s, James Harper’s first ‘McJob’ has been anything but

James Harper, then 19, and Birdie the Early Bird at a Winnipeg McDonald’s promotional event in 1977.
By Jennifer Lang Two days after his 16th birthday, James Harper got his first job. He was hired to clear tables, sweep the floor, and clean the parking areas at a McDonald’s on Portage Avenue in his hometown of Winnipeg. “Lot and lobby,” he says. It was 1975, and landing a job at the world’s biggest, best-known fast-food chain was a big deal; like getting a job at Google today. “It was the job to have,” he says. “They had literally hundreds and hundreds of applicants and somehow I got it.” Last Wednesday, (April 15), marked his 40th anniversary with McDonald’s, where he’s built a successful career and carved out a family business. Things have changed a lot since that first shift – it was pre-Egg McMuffin, for one

thing. The breakfast menu wasn’t introduced until 1977, so he didn’t start until 10 a.m. Perfect for a teenager. He got front counter experience, too, and in those days, you had to know math to ring up an order. The menu has also expanded in four decades, from mostly burgers to Happy Meals, McCafe mochas and salads to his frequent breakfast go-to, a parfait and oatmeal. “We’ve probably sold as many salads as burgers,” notes Harper, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese fan whose teenaged ‘McJob’ has been anything but. Harper may have started out sweeping floors, but within two years (at 19) was promoted to restaurant manager, launching a career that’s taken him west to B.C., stateside in 1999 to McDonald’s Chicago headquarters – where he re-wrote curriculum for

crew and senior managers – and eventually around the world for McDonald’s, an empire that at the time encompassed 121 countries, 28 languages and seven Burger Universities. He became a franchisee in 2004 and now owns seven McDonald’s restaurants in the Lower Mainland, with three in Surrey, including the one in Cloverdale, where he lives. His wife, Tracy, is a co-owner and operator. (They met in Winnipeg, where she worked at McDonald’s, too.) Cortney, one of their three daughters, is a swing manager in Cloverdale. And his son-in-law Ivan Krcmar is operations manager, overseeing the Surrey restaurants.

Students disciplined for sharing suggestive photos By Sheila Reynolds A dozen students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School have been disciplined for allegedly circulating inappropriate photos of other students at the school. According to Doug Strachan, communications manager for the Surrey School District, a student reported to school officials last week that some senior students had suggestive photos of girls at Lord Tweedsmuir. “School and district officials began an investigation and police have been notified,” said

He couldn’t say whether the students were suspended or expelled, citing privacy concerns. “It’s certainly unfortunate for the students involved,” Strachan said, “but also that a handful or so students of almost 2,000 at Lord Tweedsmuir can bring this kind of attention to the school when there have been many examples of very positive student initiatives and actions supporting their community in and outside of the school.”

support scholarships, school fun days, and minor hockey team sponsorships, along with helping out with larger community events like Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights and civic events. He also supports the Challenger Baseball Program for children with physical and cognitive disabilities. Among his proudest accomplishments is earning the company’s People Award, an honour he shares with Tracy. “It’s a big deal to me,” he says. That’s because he considers people the most important part of the business, and counsels his staff to treat every customer like their own grandmother. Harper’s 40th anniversary date also happened to be national hiring day, a one-day hiring blitz where job-seekers are invited to apply and learn more about working at McDonald’s. He takes pride in providing opportunities in his restaurants for young people. He tells new employees if they want to be successful, the most important thing is to treat others with dignity and respect, and to work hard. “That sounds so simple, but it’s not.” To this day, he runs to open the door when he sees a customer waiting and he isn’t above picking up stray French fries off the floor, even if his days of custodial duties are long over. “I tell my crew people, if you think you’re above it, you’re never above it.” Looking back, he realizes that particular Winnipeg McDonald’s was a rich training ground. Harper lists at least six former colleagues who are still working today as owner/operators in B.C., Alberta and NWT. “We were all crew people together – except for one manager. It just shows the opportunity it gave for young people.” They used to play baseball and hockey after work, all team sports, he notes. McDonald’s, he said, “was another team. We had some good people leading us within that restaurant.” He doesn’t know exactly what the future holds,

German immigrants were great neighbours To the editor; Re: “Tram ‘tots’ to ride once more,” April 2 You have a history within a history here. Yarrow, B.C., is a town founded by German immigrants prior to the start of the second World War. That did not prevent them from being discriminated against, even though they had absolutely nothing to do with the Nazi regime. That is another story, that should be told, and frequently is. You will notice that Anne Dyke, and her sister Marlene Penner, and Elsie Giesbrecht, are all German names, who attended Yarrow Elementary School in Yarrow. Those three women mentioned would be first or second generation Canadians, who happened to have parents or grandparents born in Germany.
Parking is a serious problem To the editor; Re: “Bring on bigger fines,” Letters, April 15 I, too, 100 per cent agree (and I’m sure many others) with Mike Bola and Crystal Litonjua on this topic. People with unauthorized suites are making it a “free-for-all” for us law-abiding citizens. Some of us like our homes and neighbours yet simply cringe living here because of the parking issue. These so called “property managers” (give me a break with the title, as they can’t understand basic city bylaws and get a kick out of dealing with poorly-screened tenants) have caused havoc with parking and living issues. The city should have “residential only parking” areas or assigned parking for home owners. I’ve heard of deals where the rent is less if the coach home occupant parks on the public street. Lucky people in the illegal suite below who already are parked on the street, too. Try getting out of your carport to get to work when some ignorant person is blocking your driveway in a “no parking” alley (the signs clearly state this). This serious issue needs a fix for the sake of sanity.

Slain man nephew of MLA The man killed in a shooting early Sunday morning in Surrey is the nephew of a local politician. Tthe 22-year-old victim, Arun Paul Singh Bains, is the nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains. A B.C. NDP spokesperson said Harry Bains would be spending time with family Monday and would not be available for comment. Arun Bains was rushed to hospital shortly before 3 a.m. April 19 after being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He succumbed to his injuries. A dark-coloured, four-door Mazda 3 riddled with bullet holes remained at the shooting scene Sunday. The deadly shooting was another in a string of about two dozen gun incidents in Surrey and North Delta in the past month and a half. This is the first one to claim a life. Last week, Surrey RCMP and Delta Police announced they believed the shooting spree stemmed from a drug turf war between rival groups of Somalian and South Asians. They even took the step of releasing names and photos of men believed to be involved in hopes someone would be able to shed light on their activities.

try said some residents living immediately next to the treatment areas might hear the lowflying helicopter as it turned around and realigned, however many people were caught offguard. “Rude awakenings,” Yvette Gorsline wrote on Twitter, where she posted a photograph of the helicopter. Cloverdale resident Tanya Rowlands, meanwhile, said she was worried about the formulation of the spray agent and raised her concerns with a forest ministry official. Foray 48B contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control caterpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not toxic to humans, or other mammals, plants, birds, fish, honeybees or other beneficial insects, according to the B.C. Environment Ministry. The spray leaves a residue but won’t cause damage to automobiles, or homes. “Even though there is no evidence of harm to humans from Btk, persons with respiratory ailments or other health concerns may wish to reduce their exposure to the product during the spray operation,”

By Jennifer Lang Cloverdale residents can expect the earlymorning wake up calls to start up again on Monday, as round two of a helicopter spraying program to combat the invasive gypsy moth gets underway. The spraying is being conducted by low-flying helicopters and starts shortly after sunrise, lasting from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Residents can expect the second round to begin April 27 and the third on May 11, the Ministry of Forests said, adding the dates are tentative, because it depends on the weather and the rate of insect development. More than 4,500 hectares in Surrey and 200 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B to eradicate the introduced moth. Due to the size of the area being targeted, each round is expected require four, consecutive days of spraying. The targeted areas include most of Cloverdale, from the Langley border to 144 Street, between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue. Last week, the minis-

The Surrey Night Market returns to the Cloverdale Exhibition Grounds on May 29, with an offer of free vendor booths to immediate family members of all Canadian Forces personnel and veterans living in B.C. The open air market – in its second season – is described as a multicultural, family-friendly event that is expected to draw 4,000 to 6,000 visitors on each of the 51 nights it is open. Operating hours are set for 6-11 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Sept. 20. The offer to Canadian Forces personnel and veterans is available to those who register for the whole season.

Canada’s coming of age because Canadian soldiers accomplished what British and French soldiers had failed to do when they captured Vimy Ridge from German forces,” explained Captain Mark Iredale, Commanding Officer of the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, RCACC Langley. “An important part of the cadet program is to educate youth about Canadian military history.” The Canadian soldiers were given the task of capturing the German-held ridge, located 175 km north of Paris. The ridge was heavily fortified with tunnels, machine gun nests, trenches and barbed wire.
Surrey must be met. Market officials announced in December that Canadian Forces personnel and veterans will also be exempt from paying admission to the market (as will children under 48 inches when accompanied by family, those who rely on a wheelchair and those aged 75 years and older).

The battle claimed more than 10,000 casualties, with 3,598 killed and 7,104 injured. Thousands more were missing and presumed dead.

Upbeat outlook More construction work is expected in the Lower Mainland construction industry this year. The Vancouver Regional Construction Association said the outlook is gener-
ally positive, citing record low mortgage rates, an improving regional economy and rising population growth as favourable conditions for more new building investment. Building permits issued across the Lower Mainland totalled $630 million in February, up 15 per cent from the same month a year ago. The building association said the milder than usual winter has meant a faster uptick in seasonal construction than normal. It forecasts total building permits this year will end up five to 10 per cent higher than in 2014. There were 117,700 construction sector jobs in the Lower Mainland region as of March, up 0.6 per cent from February but down 9.3 per cent from a year earlier. – Black Press

& Staying active in Cloverdale Keep fit and well at the rec centre
T
here are numerous opportunities for Cloverdale seniors to keep fit and healthy at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre. This 66,000-square-foot multipurpose recreation centre is now in its fourth year of operation and has changed the lives of Cloverdale residents of all ages for the better. Featuring three collegiate-sized gymnasiums, a large fitness/weight room and a variety of multi-purpose spaces this multi-generational facility offers fitness, educational and social activities and events for people of all ages. The City of Surrey introduced its first ‘functional training’ centre in Cloverdale. This weight room was uniquely designed integrating the functional training philosophy which allows individuals to strengthen their bodies based on mimicking everyday movement patterns. Rather than
isolate muscle groups, it is designed to allow muscles to work together as a cohesive unit, much like the way our bodies function throughout the day. This type of training is known to create a better quality of life as injuries with everyday tasks are reduced. The state-of-the-art equipment and training areas and the ability to connect with trained fitness attendants at any time has greatly increased the variety of fitness classes and physical activities available to Cloverdale seniors.
Fitness for you Some of the instructorled fitness classes geared specifically to older adults include, but are not limited to, Low Impact fitness, Chair exercises, Osteoarthritis fitness, yoga, and circuit weight training. Continued on Page 8

It’s a deal of a meal Socialize, connect, and have fun
You often hear the familiar cliché, variety is the spice of life, meaning you should try many different kinds of experiences, because trying different things keeps life interesting. That’s certainly the goal of the community meal program offered at various centres throughout Surrey. This program offers older adults the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon out that includes a nutritious meal and fun entertainment while engaging in socialization so they stay connected
with people and the community. It’s facilitated by a seniors worker, so there’s ample opportunity for participants to ask questions and learn about various resources available to them. Through a partnership between Seniors Come Share Society, the City of Surrey and the Cloverdale Seniors Advisory Board, this program is offered at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre on the second and third Thursday of each month and runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For only $8, a delicious nutritious lunch is provided which includes the meal, dessert and coffee or tea followed by an entertaining presentation. A subsidy is available for individuals with low income. As space is limited, pre-registration is required for these meal programs. For more information or to reserve your space, please contact the Come Share Society’s Meal Program Coordinator at 604-531-9400 (ext 205) or at mealprogram@comeshare.ca.

Weight room orientations are available to anyone who would like to learn weight room etiquette and exercise techniques. The three gymnasium spaces are used for many sport, play and fitness activities promoting the Active for Life philosophy which is one of three key outcomes within Canadian Sport for Life in which Canadians remain active in sport and physical activity. In this stage, athletes and participants can enjoy lifelong participation in a variety of competitive and recreational opportunities in sport and physical activity. The very active and ever-growing 55+ Pickleball and Table Tennis member club groups are just two examples of older people enjoying a recreational activity while reaping the benefits of maintaining their physical and mental health and quality of life. In addition to the seniors’ club group times, both of these activities, as well as other sports like badminton, volleyball, basketball and soccer are offered to adults of all ages. It is fantastic to see so many seniors keeping physically active and healthy and thereby maintaining their strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, to help reduce their risk of injury.
More than fitness However, the Cloverdale Recreation Centre is not limited to fitness opportunities. It also offers other activities for adults aged 55+ in areas like performing and visual arts, languages, gardening, cards and games and much more. In addition, there are interesting bus trips to get you out on an adventure for a day.

Celebrity chef, cook book author and TV personality Vikram Vij helped launch a new ‘dine-in’ menu at The Residence at Clayton Heights, where in-house chefs recreate a three-course menu featuring popular recipes from White Rock’s Washington Avenue Grill, Quattro’s in Whistler, and Indian cuisine from Vikram Vij’s restaurants, including My Shanti in South Surrey. The special recipes will be part of the regular menu. The concept is the brainchild of president Todd Simmons, a foodie who was keen to provide special dinners on the regular menu, because many residents aren’t able to ‘dine out.’
Choir sets out to soothe Langley Community Chorus presents its spring concert, Thank You For the Music, featuring soothing and uplifting music. The music in the concert was chosen by Music Director Anita Comba for its ability to stir the soul as well as entertain.

popular songs from Canada and the United States. The 80-voice chorus will be joined by Langley composer and professional Marimba, Celtic fiddle and percussion musician, Bruce Henczel. They will sing some of his unique original compositions.

My achy, breaky body: living with pain In pain? We can help you put a damper on it. There are many options, from over-the-counter to compound products By Fred Cheng, R.Ph, and Christine Cheng, R.Ph ain. What a terrible, four-letter word. However, living pain-free may be more within reach than you think. Without trivializing it too much, pain is a perceived sensation with many potential causes. It is a subjective feeling triggered in the nervous system by a physical stimulus such as a blunt or shearing force, a chemical, a poke, a pinch, etc. So, we can feel “pain” when we get a trivial paper cut or, more seriously, suffer a car accident, shingles outbreak, pinched nerve, severed limb, etc. In a way, it is an evil game of “telephone” between the trigger site and your brain. Imagine if we can somehow interrupt this telephone game; the message would be lost and you would not have that sensation of pain anymore. Sound too good to be true? Read on. First, we would need to find some kind of substance or medication that can interrupt this painful message and, literally, act as a “targeted pain block”. There are many options that are available over-the-counter (OTC) at Cloverdale Pharmasave, without a prescription, including (but not limited to) Traumeel gel or ointment, MSM Cream, Zeel Ointment, Dynamint, Chapman’s Liniment, Arnica Tincture, DMSO Gel or Lotion, or even Rub A535. If you have tried those products already, but with limited success, consider specialty OTC compounds that use substances such as dextromethorphan and guaifenesin. For those with more severe pain, prescription ingredients such as gabapentin, amitriptyline,
systemic (“widespread”) side-effects, interactions, or addiction/abuse potential. If you are living in pain, we can help you put a damper on it. Come talk to our compounding pain experts. You can also discuss your pain history with us in a consultation setting by appointment. Let us work with you and your team of physicians to find a solution that is customized to you. Our pain services include a survey of your pain history and correspondence with your physician(s) as necessary to promptly arrive at a feasible, effective solution. We are passion-

baclofen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, and ketamine may be prescribed by your physician. It is important to recognize that choosing the right ingredient is only one part of the puzzle. The next step is to somehow direct this substance to a specific location where it is needed to interrupt the communication of the painful stimulus to the brain. The best way to do this is by putting the pain medicine into a specialized, topical gel such as Lipoderm, which can drive the medication through the skin via pockets (or “micelles”) formed in the gel during its compounding process. Only a true compounding pharmacy such as Cloverdale Pharmasave would have the expertise in personnel and equipment to properly create a gel containing micelles through the use of a mill. Sounds like a lot of gibberish? Bottom-line is that a properly-compounded product can deliver the pain medication directly to the site where it is needed, with very minimal risk of
ate about finding solutions to your pain and wound problems. Let Fred and his team help you revive that achy, breaky body. (Of course, before you begin any activity program or try any OTC supplementation, check with your physician and pharmacist.)

‘Truth and Reconcilliation’ a hybrid of dramatic genes By Lauren Collins Surrey Little Theatre’s final play of the season, Truth and Reconciliation, invites the audience to witness what costs are paid by true humanitarians, according to Alaina Holland. Holland directed the play, but she’s no newbie to the Surrey Little Theatre (7027 184 St.). This is Holland’s fourth time directing at the theatre. “I feel this show is a hybrid of genres. Components of mystery, drama and romance are woven throughout the story,” Holland said. Holland said she didn’t know much about truth and reconciliation commissions until she started her research. She added she’s still no expert.
“In this show we get an idea of the impact this type of process can have on individuals and also what the facilitators hope to achieve,” she said. “However, the scenes that take place in the commission are not used as a political platform, but rather are rooted in the emotional impact that living in a volatile, violent country can have on individuals.” The play – which is set in 1998 in a Central American country rife with civil unrest – unfolds mostly in flashbacks from three years earlier, Young doctor Ben Montgomery (played by Richard Wiens) wants to help the sick and the poor, but he falls in love with Beatriz (portrayed by Mallory
Grab a seat You can grab yourself a fragment of Clova Cinema history – for free. The new owners of the now-shuttered Cloverdale landmark are offering up the former movie house’s seats free to anyone who wants them. Surrey City Council recently approved a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) governing renovations on the historic 1947 theatre, a rare surviving

Polliyaguru). Montgomery goes missing and a few years later, his parents (played by Cindy Peterson and Simon Challenger) attend a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in hopes of finding out what happened to their son. The play was written by Etan Frankel, who currently writes for Showtime’s Shameless. In 2006, Frankel won an L. Arnold Weissberger for the play. Truth and Reconciliation runs from to May 16, Thursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees on April 26 and May 3 and 9 a.m. at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $15 except for preview and opening nights, on April 16 and 17 respectively, when tickets are half price.
a style characterized by its smooth, curving, stucco-cladded exterior. The HRA will ensure the new owners (CrossRidge Church/Willingdon Charitable Holdings Society) will preserve and restore the heritage building, designed by architect H. H. Simmonds and listed on the city’s heritage register. The HRA approval meant the much-needed renovations and repairs could get underway. Property agent Ber-
nie Scholz said last last spring a building inspection revealed the Clova needs a new roof and repairs to the front canopy. “Free theatre seats from the Clova… any takers?” Cloverdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti wondered on Twitter, posting photos of work underway at the heritage theatre and a shot of the wellloved auditorium seats. “Please call BIA 604576-3155 ASAP.” – Cloverdale Reporter

By Jennifer Lang Surrey’s Tyler Tardi is off to the Youth Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. The Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary student is one of two junior curlers from B.C. who have been picked for Team Canada at the 2016 games. Tardi, who plays out of the Langley Curling Club, and Sterling Middleton of Fort St. John won bronze at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George as part of Team B.C. “I’m at a loss for words,” Tardi said, reacting to the news. “It’s amazing. I’ve always wanted to wear the Maple leaf and that dream has now come true.” Middleton is looking forward to being on a team with Tardi, who skipped Team B.C. to that third-place finish. “I think we meshed well together this year, so it will be great to curl with him again.” The two 16-year-olds will be joined by Mary Fay and Karlee Burgess from Nova Scotia, fresh off a silver medal win in women’s curling at the Canada Winter Games. Team Canada applicants were judged on their curling skills, along with their community leadership and academic experi-

ence, according to a press release from Curl BC. “The quality of applications we received through this process was simply amazing, and it bodes well for the future of our sport in Canada,” Curling Canada’s Greg Stremlaw said. “I know Tyler, Sterling, Mary and Karlee will wear the Maple Leaf proudly in Lillehammer, and we’re confident that they’ll be wonderful representatives, both on and off the ice.”
Tardi is a two-time B.C. mixed doubles champion who competed at the 2013 and 2015 Canadian Mixed Doubles Trials. B.C. was represented at the inaugural 2012 Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, when Corryn Brown of Kamloops played third on the Canadian team that won bronze. The 2016 Youth Olympics are in Lillehammer between Feb. 12 to 21, 2016.
Wotherspoon at U18 worlds Cloverdale Minor Hockey alumnus skates for Canada in Switzerland By Rick Kupchuk Two weeks after his Tri-City Americans were eliminated from the Western Hockey League playoffs, Parker Wotherspoon is in Switzerland skating for Canada at the International Ice Hockey Federation’s U18 World Championships. The 17-year-old, who played his minor hockey in Cloverdale, is among seven defencemen with Team Canada at the 10-team tournament which runs April 16-26 in Zug and Lucerne, Swizerland. Canada won the first of four preliminary round games 11-6 over Latvia on Thursday. Wotherspoon contributed with a pair of assists. He had another helper in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Switzerland, then netted his first goal of the tournament in a 3-2 victory over the Czech Republic.
Wotherspoon is ranked 43rd among North American skaters for the National Hockey League Entry Draft in June. He completed second season with the Americans as their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points. He added an assist in four playoff games, after which the Americans were eliminated in straight games by the Kelowna Rockets. He tallied twice and added 16 assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a thirdround selection in the Entry Draft. Canada concluded the preliminary round yesterday (Tuesday) with a game against undefeated Finland. The quarterfinal round of the playoffs begin tomorrow (Thursday). – Black Press

B.C. pharmacists target loyalty points and tobacco sales College of Pharmacists still aims to control retailers By Jeff Nagel The regulatory body for B.C. pharmacists hasn’t given up on its agenda to ban pharmacies from handing out loyalty reward points on drug purchases, or to eventually ban cigarette sales. A ban imposed by the College of Pharmacists of B.C. was struck down in B.C. Supreme Court last summer, but an appeal filed by the college will be heard in December. The college argued loyalty points are a powerful lure for consumers that can alter their medication buying habits and potentially harm their health. It was fought in court by major supermarket chains. The judge in the trial ruled the ban on all loyalty incentives was “unreasonable” and concerns raised were
“illogical.” College spokesman Mykle Ludvigsen wouldn’t comment on the grounds for appeal. One of the objections raised was that insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might continue to refill a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. Tobacco sales by pharmacies are also in the crosshairs of the college. Ludvigsen said there is no specific timeline to impose such a ban but the college’s 2014 strategic plan calls for the board to pursue one. “We’re the only province that currently allows cigarettes to be sold in premises that contain a pharmacy,” he
said. “It completely goes against the pharmacy as a health centre. To sell things we know kill you at the front of the store and to sell things that help you get better at the back of the store is a bit of a conflict.” Retail chains have warned they would challenge the college’s jurisdiction if it moves to impose a tobacco ban and would also sue the college and its directors for lost sales that would result if their stores can’t sell cigarettes. “The law does not take a positive view of activities which represent unwarranted restraint of trade,” says a letter to the college sent last fall by executives from London Drugs, Safeway, Rexall, Sobey’s, Overwaitea Food Group, and Thrifty Foods. – Black Press
Breast milk donation program expands By Jeff Nagel The first regular shipment of human milk donated by lactating women across the Lower Mainland has now arrived at Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals for sick and premature babies in their neonatal intensive care units. Donor milk is processed at the Provincial Milk Bank at B.C. Women’s Hospital, which has expanded its capacity after Fraser Health last year opened new human milk collection depots across the region. Donations are now taken at all health units in Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Delta (two sites), Maple Ridge, Surrey (four sites), White Rock, Langley, Mission, Abbotsford, Agassiz, Chilliwack and Hope. Premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk are at greater risk of certain infections, including a devastating bowel disease. They often have compromised immune systems, underdeveloped stomachs or other conditions that make them more vulnerable. Some moms struggle to provide milk or aren’t permitted to because of illness or medications they use. Lactating moms who have been screened are encouraged to

collect extra breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it. Pasteurized donor milk has active beneficial properties for babies, providing them with antibodies to fight disease and infection. “In the past, this demand has been difficult to meet but now families will have expanded ac-
cess to safe, pasteurized donor human milk,” said provincial milk bank coordinator Frances Jones. For more information see www.bcwomensmilkbank.ca A community depot is located at the Cloverdale Health Unit (604-575-5100). – Black Press
