Re: “Pay parking at hospitals criticized,” Feb. 12 There is a deliberate and malicious injustice when a system of parking at Surrey Memorial Hospital is set up so that patients are not at liberty to go out and feed the parking meter, while being attended to by hospital staff. This forces them to pay more in advance for parking time than they can use, in order not to get ticketed if the meter runs out of time. In the real world, this would be considered theft for charging for services not rendered.

If it was not for the fact that it would be next to impossible to document the amount of money lost by this nefarious scheme, the ones responsible for it would be facing a class action lawsuit, and rightfully so. Maybe some enterprising young lawyer should look into this. It would sure beat chasing after ambulances.

Are we sliding into a police state? To the editor; Our federal government has tabled legislation that will criminalize dissent. Environmentalists are not terrorists threatening the state, but they do have a different vision as to how our country’s economy should grow and the direction it should take. This is hardly subversive. Our country
has a history where divergent views are not only accepted, but encouraged. Up until recently this practice has been not only accepted, but supported financially by our federal government. To say that peaceful protest is criminal is to say Rosa Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus because she was black,
The Cloverdale
or Mahatma Gandhi’s salt march was criminal. These two protests were instrumental in ending segregation in the U.S., and the British oppression of India respectively. Both today are widely praised as brave opposition to oppressive state law. I am worried that my beloved country is sliding into a
police state where people are afraid to criticize government and government policy. The threat of terrorism should not be used as an excuse to limit peoples’ right to dissent. Phil Harrison Surrey

To be mindful and present is the most difficult task of any human in our day and age; to slow time down to a crawl even if for only five minutes a day. We rush past everything so quickly in life, rarely listening to what others are sharing, rarely seeing with eyes wide open, and infrequently standing tall. The faster we rush, the more plugged in we become to a technological world. As we become separated from our earth, the less

An open letter to Mayor and Council, and the community; I was originally writing to you out of grave concern for the trees, forests and peoples of Cloverdale and the Clayton Heights subdivision area, an area bordering the Township of Langley. However, what came through in the writing of this letter is instead the strength of their story. Ten years ago, there were still forests with hazelnut trees, eagles, coyotes and rabbits and the odd hawk or so in the Clayton Heights area. There was a little forest near our home that I would visit every day to replenish my soul, drinking in its life giving force. The site which I refer to is where Katzie Elementary School now stands; a school named after the Katzie Nation, First Peoples of this territory. The day the trees were cut down, a crow called loudly at my window as though in great distress. I jumped out of bed and followed his call. I found myself staring at the forest invaded by bulldozers and work crews with chainsaws in hand. Tears filled my eyes, as the sun shone brightly in the sky. There were no birds to be heard other than the crows. I thanked crow for doing his job of waking me and I walked into the little forest one last time. I breathed in her stillness expecting to feel sadness and despair from the forest. Instead I felt only love. Immediately I was overcome with warmth and through a waterfall of tears I looked up to see the sun shining through their bows and hands as a gentle breeze danced with them one last time. They stood tall and gracefully erect, like smiling ladies walking into the ocean without a backwards glance. The taller older ones stood like warriors tall and proud; eyes and hearts wide open. I sat in her peace, and melted into stillness as she embraced me, encircling me with her life giving force. I felt my soul sink into the spirit of the forest as we shared. This is what was said: We are all a mirror of each other. The love I was feeling was my love, being mirrored back to me. What we put out comes back to us tenfold. It returns to us in our generation, the generations that follow and reaches into the generations that came before us. We are all part of the great stitch in the fabric of life. Together we twist and turn and weave in and out of experiences and stories and moments.

energy we feed her and thus, the less we feed ourselves. The more disconnected we become from our true nature; the peaceful contentment of sitting and breathing. The more we multitask, the more our authentic true vision becomes blurred. The easier it is to not care or declare, “That’s not important!” The big buzzword in our environmentally conscious circles is “stewards of the earth”. If we are not able to see or even care or take note of the forest that is being cut down in our own backyard or the eagles that were there and now have left, how can we possibly be stewards of our earth? How can we possibly be stewards of ourselves much less our children’s and our Earth’s tomorrows? We are kept too busy paying bills to a system that feeds on keeping us blinded to what is real and true.
There is hope though – our children are the ones who can be the way-showers of how to be genuine and connected. Yet we train them from very early ages to become separated from self. Laptops, iPhones, computer games are made readily available. Children are “plugging in” to the system and becoming tech-savvy from the earliest of ages, some as young as two anda-half. They do not run outside. And when they do, where is the little forest for them to run and play in? How can they skin their knees scaling the trunk and hang from the boughs of these magnificent medicine beings known as trees? Are we as a people, a human tribe, really going to allow this to happen? Do you want this to happen? Every day there are trees being clear cut by the rapid development in Surrey and Langley communities. To plant small saplings along a sidewalk is not the same as 10 old-growth cedars.

A grandmother tree was left behind on the southern side of the elementary school’s property because she bore an eagle’s nest. Thank you to the eagles for leaving their mark in some way; because of them, the tree now stands to this day, surrounded by a fence and a circle of rocks. The tree serves as the community bird haven. Sometimes at dusk, my ears are flooded with the harmony of dozens of different birds: voices as they pow wow in her boughs, clicking and chirping, whirring and cooing. I happen to know the children that attend Katzie Elementary are very proud and connected to their “Eagle Tree”. They know intuitively that they belong to her and she belongs to them, linked within the passage of time. Tonya McLaughlin Surrey

A Little “Mussel” for Arthritis By Christine Cheng, R.Ph. and Dr. Henry Cheng
CHRISTINE CHENG
DR. HENRY CHENG
With spring and all the good-weather activities just around the corner, this is a good time to review some nutritional remedies for arthritis. The Green Lipped Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) from New Zealand has proven its effectiveness for 15 years and remains one of the most time honoured natural arthritis remedies. The flesh of the mussel is made of 9 different glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) and is more effective than a glucosamine or a chondroitin alone. In herbal medicine we believe that the adjunct effect of 9 different ingredients in small amounts is more powerful than a large amount of one single ingredient. In the past 20 years, we have seen Perna work better than glucosamine alone. The first generation of mussel supplement was made by dry freezing and lyophilizing the flesh of the mussel and is marketed under the name of “Sea Mussel” by FoodScience. These are still highly in demand. The second generation that is now available in Canada (Maori Miracle®) utilizes an extract from the mussel called GlycoMarine™ that has anti-inflammatory, Cox-2 inhibitory, chondroprotective and lubricating properties.
Thus, not only does it bring about pain-killing benefits, it also improves joint structure and mobility. Contrary to drugs, it actually promotes gastro-intestinal mucosal integrity. The glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid contents are reinforced by Collagen Type II (Kolla2®) refined from chicken sternum cartilage. Kolla2 contains Hyaluronic Acid that is a component of cartilage and joint fluid and hence essential for joint repair. The third component in Maori Miracle is a fatty acid ester called Cetyl-Myristoleate (Myristin®). This is not only a joint lubricant but also an immune modulator so it is effective also for rheumatoid arthritis which is a systemic auto-immune disease. The fatty acid ester also mediates histamine and leukotrene response hence it controls the damage caused by inflammation. The fourth component is a popular herbal pain-killing and anti-inflammatory agent called salicin extracted from White Willow Bark. The 4 components in Maori Miracle form a strong team in the fight against arthritis. The only contraindications are allergies or sensitivities to shellfish and aspirin. If you want to make this combination even stronger, the 2 elements we suggest you can add to Maori Miracle® are MSM and antioxidants. Many successful formulae are made of the 3 classical ingredients: glucosamine, MSM and antioxidants. Anti-oxidants reduce the MSM into active sulfonyl groups which in
turn activate the glycosaminoglycan pathway in lubricating and repairing the joint. This cascade of events is being utilized in many successful formulae such as Recovery®. What is missing in Recovery® is a direct pain-killer. So if you compare the formula of Maori Miracle with that of Recovery, you will find that the two products are in fact complementary to each other and can be used safely in combination. In case this combination does not give you enough relief from your sufferings, you can add a catalyst that activates both the healing process and the anti-inflammatory effect. This would be either in the form of an enzyme e.g. Curcumin, Curamed, Wobenzyme, and/or a homeopathic mixture e.g. Zeel Compositum, Traumeel, etc. As well, a topical homeopathic cream like Zeel or Traumeel can speed up the healing process. For those suffering from gouty arthritis, “Cherry Fruit Extract” by Enzymatic Therapy can help in both acute situations and to prevent future flare-ups. Christine Cheng is a Registered Pharmacist with a passion for Integrative Medicine. She works alongside her father, Henry Cheng, who is a medical graduate of the University of London, England and is now a Natural Products Consultant in Pharmasave Downtown Cloverdale.

Hepner’s light rail ‘Plan B’ fuels opposition in Surrey: Canseco By Jeff Nagel A new poll now gives the No side a strong lead in the Metro Vancouver transit improvement referendum. The latest Insights West online survey of 653 Metro residents found 53 per cent will “probably” or “definitely” vote against the 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax to fund various upgrades, while 38 per cent will likely vote in favour. It’s a reversal from earlier polls by the firm that had given the Yes side a four-point advantage as recently as January. Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the strong gain for the No side appears to have come from drivers, middleincome earners and South of the Fraser area residents. The latest survey was conducted Feb. 12-14, after the TransLink board decided to replace CEO Ian Jarvis but keep him on as an advisor until mid-2016 rather than pay severance. Aimed at improving public confidence by installing a new CEO and a change of direction, the move has been widely criticized. “As a short-term measure to instill confidence in the voters, it failed,” Canseco said, noting just one in 10 voters say they trust TransLink to deliver new projects effectively. “It clearly hasn’t helped the Yes side.” The poll breaks down results by sub-region for the first time. It shows the strongest support
is in Vancouver and Richmond, with 48 per cent Yes support to 45 per cent No. The most opposition comes South of the Fraser, with 62 per cent likely to vote No and 31 per cent Yes. It’s a similar story on the North Shore, where 61 per cent are opposed and 27 per cent in favour. Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows had 49 per cent likely No voters and 39 per cent in the Yes camp. The level of undecided voters was six per cent in Vancouver, Richmond and South of the Fraser, and about 10 per cent elsewhere. The margin of error is plus or minus four per cent, 19 times out of 20. Canseco said the strong No vote South of the Fraser is surprising given the fact the area will be a main beneficiary of the upgrades. New Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s campaign promise to find an alternate way to build light rail if the referendum fails appears to have fed the No forces, he said. “The fact there was a hint or a mention of a Plan B to get that light rail system going has a lot of people saying ‘Why am I saying yes to a tax hike? There’s no reason for me to vote and have a tax hike if the mayor has a solution that’s not going to cost me money.’” Canseco said the No campaign’s use of Hepner’s quotes
Pipeline firm defends secrecy Kinder Morgan officials are defending their decision to withhold portions of an emergency response plan from the public in B.C. even though similar details about the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion have been disclosed in Washington State. President Ian Anderson on Friday denied the company is trying to hide anything, but cited security risks that would flow from posting complete plans showing the locations of critical valves and access points along the pipeline route and other aspects of its planned response to spill scenarios. Regulations are different in the U.S., where Kinder Morgan’s detailed emergency plan for a section of the pipeline was posted online by Washington’s Department of Ecology. No such requirement was made by the National Energy Board but the firm has pledged to make the full document available to the provincial government – which has repeatedly pressed for its release – as well as municipalities and first responders along the route. A heavily redacted version of the plan was released by Trans Mountain last fall, erasing details
“shows you how confusing this move has been.” He said opposition on the North Shore is more logical. “You could argue the North Shore has a lot of drivers, a lot of people who don’t see anything beneficial apart from the SeaBus.” Canseco said he doesn’t see the Yes campaign as a lost cause, particularly as ballots won’t arrive until the second half of March and voters could keep them around for several weeks before marking them. But he said the mayors must find different messaging that works, particularly on drivers who are so far skeptical of the benefits and not yet swayed by warnings of crushing congestion in the years ahead under a status quo transit system. Asked if the province could make changes to TransLink that would influence the outcome, Canseco said he doubts that will happen, given recent comments by the premier and transportation minister pushing responsibility firmly at the mayors. “You start to see why they made this decision in the first place,” Canseco said of the government’s condition of a referendum for any new tax. “If the Yes side were to win, it simplifies matters and makes them look like geniuses. If the No side wins, then it’s the mayors’ fault. They couldn’t campaign well. They couldn’t connect with their constituents.”

Migrant arrest policy changed Transit Police say they will no longer detain undocumented migrants on behalf of the Canada Border Services Agency without a warrant. The decision follows an inquest into the suicide in CBSA custody at YVR of a Mexican woman awaiting deportation who was first stopped in a fare check by Transit Police. Spokesperson Anne Drennan said the force does not wish to be seen as an arm of border agents. Critics had said the collaboration of the Transit Police had effectively turned Metro Vancouver’s transit system into a border checkpoint. Transit Police continue to use fare checks to find and apprehend suspects wanted on warrants by other police forces.

Customers show love for Surrey animals

By Jennifer Lang The BC SPCA’s Surrey Education and Adoption Centre in Cloverdale recently got a boost from the Newton Branch of Van City Savings. The credit union collected $1,102 towards the Surrey BC SPCA’s upcoming Animal Lovers Gala, an evening of dining and entertainment in support of abused, homeless and injured animals in the community. The 11th annual event takes place March 7 at Northview Golf and Country Club. Van City members helped raise the branch’s donation by contributing second-hand books for the cause. The Newton branch then sold those books – also by donation. The Animal Lovers Gala is an important fundraiser for the BC SPCA Surrey Education and Adoption Centre at 16748 50 Avenue – second only to Paws for a Cause. Manager Rodney Weleschuk said proceeds will be used for all aspects of care related to the animals the branch assists, including vet treatments for the spay and neuter program. “Some of the proceeds will be used to care for horses
and other farm animals in our newly-renovated horse barn,” he said. The BC SPCA receives no government funding and is supported entirely by private donations, he added. “Our new BC SPCA centre in Surrey is now up and running and we are grateful to members of our community for supporting events such as our gala so that we can make a life-saving difference for the most vulnerable animals in our region,” says volunteer and gala organizer Michelle Grant. The event features a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, gourmet dinner and live music. “It is an educational and fun evening and a way for people and business to connect with other supporters all while helping the animals,” Grant added. Tickets to the Animal Lovers Gala are available online at spca.bc.ca/surreygala or by phone at 604-862-0442. For more information or sponsorship opportunities, email surreyevents@spca.bc.ca. It runs from 5:30 p.m. to midnight (dinner at 6:30 p.m.). Tickets are $125, or $1,000 for a table of 10. Northview Golf and Country Club is at 6857 168 Street, Surrey.

Although one person short of a full team, the Jack Hutton rink scored an eight-ender in league play on Feb. 5 at the Cloverdale Curling Rink. The achievement is difficult to realize and as rare as a hole-in-one in golf. “It was our first,” admitted each of the team members, who enjoyed a win along with the fame. Congratulations, guys.

In January, the Surrey RCMP launched a Neighbourhood Safety Campaign and a series of community engagement presentations have commenced city-wide. The objective of the meetings is to provide residents of Surrey with the necessary knowledge, tools and skills to mobilize their community in order to enhance the safety and livability of their neighbourhood. These engagement meetings will address specific areas of concern in your community in order to create a safer neighbourhood. Prior to these meetings, a crime analysis is conducted to determine what issues may be having a negative impact on your day to day life. We held our initial meeting in Clayton earlier this month.

let’s talk about it...
Throughout 2015, there will be scheduled meetings across the city in various neighbourhoods. Information on the dates and locations will be posted on the Surrey RCMP website at www. surreyrcmp.ca, and will be made available at your local RCMP District office. I want to share with you some of my observations as a local resident. Hopefully, at the very least, it may give you some food for thought. I have noticed gener-
ally most of us know or interact with our immediate neighbours or acknowledge people as they pass by on the sidewalk. However, the majority of us would be hard pressed to state that we know our neighbours five houses or condos away from us. It is my opinion that the collective “we� should make an effort to rectify this. Aside from the obvious benefit of the sense of community, it has also been proven to be an effective way to fur-
ther enhance our neighbourhood safety. If I am someone who is planning on committing a property crime in your neighbourhood, the last thing I want is someone acknowledging my presence in the area. Greeting someone as they enter a business is standard practice in the retail industry. It is good customer service. The second benefit to this practice is that it is effective in reducing their shrinkage or theft from the business. Please stay engaged with your community and meet your neighbours. Consider joining or forming a Block Watch. Block Watch encourages residents to take a proactive approach to crime prevention and safety. Through education on target hardening, property marking, and reporting suspicious activity, Block Watch provides a means for the commu-

Last year, 90 new Block Watch groups were formed in Surrey. If you would like to join an existing Block Watch or if you’re interested in starting a Block Watch for your area, please contact our Crime Prevention Coordinator Jody Nelson at 604-502-6265. In addition, the Cloverdale/Port Kells RCMP office is located at 5732 176A Street and welcomes your visit.

hese days it is pretty common to have a stepparent or two in your life. These people enter our lives without much input from us. They fall in love with our parents and then take on the challenge of being a stepparent. It can be a messy business. They come with their set of rules and habits and we come with ours. It’s why the term ‘blended family’ is used. Add in teenager drama and hurt, confused feelings left over from a divorce and you get a mixed bag of emotions. I come from a broken home. I have a stepmom and a stepdad. I met my stepmom Lynda when I was in elementary school. I was a frustrated pre-teen and a bit moody. At 15, I moved in with my dad and Lynda. I was an angry, somewhat depressed teen. Lynda had never had children. Taking me on must have been daunting. The thing is, as a young person, I never considered how hard it must have been to be a step-parent to myself and my brothers.
