Barn fire devastates horse racing community
By Jennifer Lang A barn fire in Langley that killed 18 horses over the weekend is an unprecedented loss for the B.C. racing community, the general manager of Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino said Monday. The June 1 barn fire at 224 Street near 40 Avenue in Langley resulted in the death of 17 race horses belonging to JJJ Stables and one family horse. Fraser Downs general manager Ken Stratton offered condolences, adding both Fraser Downs and casino operator Great Canadian Gaming Corp. are “deeply saddened by this calamity.”

JJJ Stables is owned by Rick Mowles and managed by Bill Davis, a driver and trainer at Fraser Downs. Both have played an important role in the racing operations at Fraser Downs and in the provincial racing industry, Stratton said. “We would like to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to Rick Mowles, the entire Davis family and all those impacted by the fire,” Stratton said in a statement. “This is the first time in our recollection that such an incident occurred causing unprecedented loss for the B.C. racing community.” In the days to come, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and Fraser Downs will be looking at ways to help JJJ Stables in their recovery process, he added.
Seee why y
Jackson Wittup, executive director of Harness Racing B.C., said seven of the horses were two-year-olds who hadn’t yet started their careers at Fraser Downs, six were three-yearolds getting ready for the fall season, and four were resting up from the spring meet that just concluded. Together, they were valued between $700,000 and $1 million, representing an extreme loss financially, and emotionally for the stable, because most had been bred and raised since they were foals, he said. Meanwhile, efforts are already underway to help Bill and Laurie Davis, who lost their entire livelihood in the fire, from harnesses to racing colours and helmets.

Van smashes into school
EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESS A van crashed crashed into Cloverdale’s George Greenaway Elementary School last week, injuring a 10-year-old and others. At about 12:30 p.m. May 28, a 71-year-old driving a minivan hit the school. The woman’s foot slipped onto the gas, police say. One child suffered a concussion while others had only minor injuries. The building was inspected to insure it was safe to be occupied.

By Dan Ferguson A family has lost everything as a result of Sunday’s fire in Langley that killed 18 horses, most of them Standardbred racers. Bill and Laurie Davis were described as a “prominent horse racing family” in Langley with over 35 years of experience by Tanis Pearson. “They are leaders in the racing industry and pioneers in their exceptional horsemanship,” said Pearson, a family friend who is acting as spokesperson for the Davises. “They’re such a phenomenal family. They’re a household name.” The fire – which broke out at the All Seasons mushroom farm on 224 Street near 40 Avenue in Langley Township, was first reported shortly after 2 p.m. At the height of the fight, up to 14 fire trucks and 60 firefighters were on scene. It took about two hours to get under control. Firefighters had to load water from hydrants down the street and transport it to the blaze. The stable was completely destroyed. In addition to the loss of 17 horses, plus a miniature horse, the fire destroyed about $100,000 worth of gear, Pearson said. “This is such a huge tragedy.” A trust fund has been set up to help the family rebuild. Donations can be made to “The Davis Family Trust” at any Aldergrove Credit Union. Money or E-transfers can be sent to billdavisfamilytrust@ gmail.com with the password being mornasbigboy. A pub night fundraiser is planned for June 18 at the Town Hall pub in Langley at 19640 64 Avenue. Tickets can be purchased at A & T Equestrian in Cloverdale at

The future is at stake Strikes or lockouts, whether for a week or a day, impact education
S
tudents across the province missed a day of school last week, and missed another day this week thanks to a rotating strike by teachers, as the contract dispute with the provincial government continues. This is unacceptable for everyone involved: students, parents, teachers, administrators, school districts and the provincial government. Teachers have legitimate concerns about the makeup of their classes and the extra demands being placed on them by continuing shifts in education policy. The government, for its part, has significant budgeting challenges, and teachers need to modify their wage demands – currently reported as being a 21.5 per cent increase over four years – significantly. Most importantly, both sides need to really focus on students, and not just pay lip service to the concept. The BC Public School Employers’ Association response to the job action is to lock out teachers

and cut salaries by 10 per cent. This has done nothing to move the situation closer to a resolution. Strikes or lockouts – whether for a week, a day or even for a few calculated moments at a time – impact education. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has said there will be other rotating strikes; this is simply unac-
ceptable. The province agrees that depriving students of an education can not be condoned but is prepared, through the employers’ association, to lock out teachers at the end of the school year; equally unacceptable. The association has issued a directive that limits student-
teacher contact. This is no better. Education is as essential as it has ever been. The global nature of the economy means that B.C. students will be competing with students from all parts of the world as they leave the school system. They will be competing for spaces in post-secondary institutions and for employment opportunities. Holding up their progress, for weeks or even months, due to a labour dispute will do immeasurable damage to their prospects. It might mean a difference in career opportunities and choices, restricting their future and ours. Regardless of the issues being negotiated, representatives from both sides need to compromise far more than they have thus far. Instead, it’s as if both sides are waging a popularity contest and only listening to their own yes-people, leaving our future leaders at risk.

Proud to be part of a story that endures across decades
From front
reconstruction team Task Force 309 in 2009/2010. “But the biggest thing is learning that all of our experiences are very similar.” On the 2013 ride, he met other veterans who had served in Iraq as well as Afghanistan, and even Bosnia and Kosovo. Meeting and talking with other veterans made him realize they shared much in common, even though some spent their deployment in headquarters and not necessarily as an infantry soldier on the front lines, like he did. “My experience [with post traumatic stress] is from being there and seeing it happen to people,” he told The Reporter earlier this week. “But for them, it was the helplessness they felt.” Riding through the battlefields and First and Second World War cemeteries was cathartic.
“At the beginning of the trip, the leaders said, ‘You’re going to laugh. You’re going to cry, and all these emotions are going to happen. It turned out to be really kind of liberating to be in all these places along the way.” He and the other riders were grounded in the knowledge that they were traveling through battlefields where many of their grandfathers had fought. Lowe couldn’t help but wonder if one day future generations will ride through Afghanistan in the same way. “Probably not,” he said. Lowe has now reached the point where he’s comfortable sharing his stories and helping others to learn, and to heal. He credits the support of Wounded Warriors Canada. This time around, the riders will conclude their bike journey at the Canadian memorial at Vimy Ridge, where there will be a ceremony; 2014 marks the 100th anni-
versary of the start of the First World War. Last year, Lowe laid a wreath on the memorial before the start of the ride. “That’s a part of Canadian soil right there,” he said. “It makes me proud.” No matter what the critics will say in 15 years about Canada’s role in Afghanistan, Lowe will know he’s a part of the lineage of soldiers who have served their country. “This trip is about realizing you’re not by yourself,” he said. “Spending time in those places you realize, wow, that experience is shared and has been shared for decades. It makes me proud to be part of that story.” Participants in the Wounded Warriors Canada Battlefield Ride 2014 are raising awareness and funds in support of Canada’s ill and injured armed forces members and their families. – To lend support or follow the team, visit www. bbr14.ca.

Fashion show to benefit SAS
Fab Fourever to conquer Clova The first of two concerts in Cloverdale is a sell-out; tickets still available for tonight
By Jennifer Lang Six months after they conquered America, the Beatles made their first – and only – appearance in Vancouver. It was Aug. 22, 1964, and Beatlemania was in full throttle; the screaming girls, the fainting fans, and the threat of a riot forced the band off the stage at Empire Stadium. We’ve been waiting for an encore ever since. Tonight and tomorrow, the Clova Cinema plays host to the premiere Beatles tribute band – The Fab Fourever, a group of self-confessed Beatles “Super fans� Jody Tenant (Paul), Kevin Davey (John), Jean-Luc Perron (George), Paul Kaszonyi (Ringo) and Blake Mackay (keyboards/ sound effects). They’ll sing all of the Beatles’ memorable live hits, complete with costume changes and without overdubs or pre-recorded music, from She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and A Hard Day’s Night to Yellow Submarine, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life, and Hey Jude.
Friday’s performance at the Clova in Cloverdale is a sellout, but there are still tickets available for tonight’s (June 5) show. Whether your favourite was John, Paul, George or Ringo, you’ll want to grab a seat and sing and scream along. The Fab Four Forever is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles historic concert at Empire Stadium Vancouver by playing the entire Vancouver set, from start to finish. The band’s first set takes fans on a journey from the Beatles’ performance on the Ed Sullivan Show to their screamfilled appearance in Vancouver. The second set includes selections from their studio albums, such as Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Pepper, the White Album, Let it Be and Abbey Road. The show starts at 7 p.m., doors open 6:30 p.m. Adults: $26, kids 12 and under: $15. Tickets are available only at the box office, when it’s open. The Clova Cinema is located at 5732 176 Street. Or call 778-808-7178 for more information.

BC SPCA grateful to teen
By Jennifer Lang When Clayton Heights Secondary student Laura Kim won $10,000 to give to the charity of her choice, the decision was clear. She wanted to donate the money to the B.C. SPCA, in recognition of its work with animals. “I love animals like crazy and I hate thinking of them being mistreated or hurt,” said Kim, who is part of her school’s social awareness club, Project Equal. Kim won the money for charity from a Telus contest on We365, a mobile app and website developed by Free the Children and Telus. The app is named for We Day, an initiative of Free the Children that encourages young people to come together in stadium settings to become inspired to lead local and global change. Kim and fellow Project Equal members and classmates Rajan Samra and Ryan Furby recently toured the BC SPCA’s provincial office and animal shelter in Vancouver, where they presented a bone-shaped, $10,000 cheque to society CEO Craig Daniell.

She was was returning home from a spring break trip to Ecuador, where she helped build a school. “A gift like this makes such a difference for us,” said the BC SPCA’s Daniell. “It will help so many of our province’s most vulnerable animals get the care they need. We are so grateful to Laura. She’s made a huge difference.”

Q: I have heard the Europe Christmas markets are a must see- What do you recommend? A: The season for Christmas Markets is from the last week of November to just before Christmas. These markets have been a Christmas tradition for hundreds of years. The majority are throughout Germany and Austria KATHERINE A River cruise is one of the most convenient YOUNG ways to experience a number of different market towns and cities. There are several itineraries now, usually 7 nights in length. This way you can arrive at a new place every day; usually in the centre of town, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often an easy walk to the best sightseeing, the local highlights, and of course the Christmas Markets. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be concerned about packing, unpacking, dining, or transportation between cities... virtually everything is looked after, you only have to decide on which gifts you are going to bring home, and why you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done this before! These markets are great for renewing the magic of Christmas, experiencing historic Europe and discovering handcrafted gifts of quality. Whether you travel on your own or with friends and loved ones talk with your Maritime Travel Specialist today in Langley or Surrey. We look forward to working with you.

Q:
A: The natural color of teeth falls within a range of light greyish-yellow shades. This can be affected by tobacco use, diet and age. There are 2 types of whitening options available: surface whiteners and Dr. Parveen Atwal bleaches. Surface whiteners are abrasives in toothpastes that remove superficial stains only. Bleaching products are peroxide-based and are actually capable of altering the colors of the tooth itself. This is especially important for patients with fillings, root canal treatments, crowns and/or those who have extremely dark stains on their front teeth. There are 2 types of bleaching options: laser which involves the in-office use of heat/light to activate the bleaching product, or custom made trays filled with bleach and worn for a certain amount of time. Not all tooth discolorations respond to tooth-bleaching treatments therefor a consult with a dentist is always recommended first.

out for to avoid buying a lemon house? A: Here are your 6 signs a house could be a lemon 1. Foundation cracks - When you arrive at a house, take a walk around the outside. Cracks around the foundation could be caused by settling, freezing or thawing, or soil expansion. And be alert with hillside homes where earth movement can cause a foundation to slide. 2. Sagging roof - Just before you pull your car to the driveway, take a look of the roof at a distance. Are the chimney and the roof line straight? A roof sags because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bearing too much weight. A sagging roof can even be traced to an underlying foundation problem. 3. Stains on wall or ceiling surface - At this task, you have to use two of your senses: your eyes and your nose. A water mark on the ceiling could mean a leak and black or green dirt on the wall could be mold or mildew. Check for signs of bubbling paint, soggy drywall and signs of repairs. 4. Sloping floor - A sloping floor could be a sign of house movement. A simple test could be done by placing a marble on the floor and see if it rolls. Another trick is to look at the windows and the doors. Do they line up? Are they hard to open? 5. Pipes sticking out of the back yard - When you walk around the house keep an eye on pipes sticking out from the ground. For many houses built prior to the 1970s, there are chances of an underground oil tank hidden on site. 6. Failed roof covering or exterior siding - When you walk around the outside of the house, look for openings in seams of exterior siding and under roof covering, also called soffits. Openings could be caused by mechanical damage or improper building practice. Look for rotten wood, cracked bricks, indented vinyl, broken stucco and damaged aluminum for clues of failed siding.
Q: Help! My dad is being discharged from the hospital and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get time off work to help. How can I set him up to recover on his own? Full electric hospital beds, whether a short term rental during recovery or a long term solution to improved mobility help to provide independence & comfort. These beds help raise your head and upper body to sitting position so it is easy and painless to get up and out of bed. The height of the bed can also be adjusted so it makes it easier to get out of the bed and transfer to a wheelchair, walker or steady yourself before standing. With the electric hand pendant, you can infinitely adjust the position of your head and knees to improve comfort while you are sleeping or just resting in bed. Other items to help with home recovery are walkers, overbed tables, transfer benches, long handled hand held showers, reachers, stocking aids, wheelchairs or scooters. SelfCare has all these products available under flexible rental terms so you only have the equipment you need for the time you need it. We also rent the very popular knee walker, which helps to keep your foot completely non weight bearing. Call and ask us at 604-574-5801 or drop by our showroom at Unit 4, 17675 66th Ave, Surrey anytime 8:30 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday We love questions!

Q: What are the best materials to use for a deck? A: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always difficult to balance budget and something that will look great and last for years when Nathan Hazelhurst we live in such a wet climate! The most common materials used to build decks are Composite, Pressure Treated, Cedar and Duradek. I generally recommend Pressure Treated decks because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost effective and has great durability and longevity. Composite can start off great but what many people find is that after a while the sun can fade it or cause it to flake and it costs about three times more money than your other options.

Q We would like to paint the outside of our house this summer. The more we think about it, the more daunting it seems. Where do we start? Can you help? A Certainly! This will be the largest canvas you will ever paint and you need to get it right. Having a small window of opportunity for exterior painting in BC, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have everything ready to go once we head into good weather. Start by driving around your neighbourhood and other residential areas. Take photos of colour schemes that appeal. It is important to take into consideration the colours of your roof, gutters and downpipes, and any existing stone or brick. Colours that look good on one house, very often wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on another due to existing materials and aspect. Closer to the time, paint a test patch on each side of the house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the body and on the trim. View the colours at different times of the day. When the job is finally finished youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to want to love what you see when you drive into the driveway, so taking these steps is important! Should you require decision-making assistance, consider hiring a Colour & Paint Consultant for expert colour, sheen and product knowledge. And, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not attempting to do the painting yourself, make sure you book a reputable painter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now! Finally - donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the front door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the icing on the cake! Nothing says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to Our Homeâ&#x20AC;? more than a great front door colour. Good luck!

Taekwondo?
The real question should be, why wouldn’t I consider taekwondo for myself and my family? A good Taekwondo program will improve physical fitness and skill, sharpen our mental ability and push us to the highest standards of character based on traditional values. Karen Bennett An increase in obesity and a decline in discipline and focus are prevalent in our society today. Taekwondo training builds strength, coordination, flexibility, endurance and good habits that will last a lifetime. At Cloverdale Black Belt Academy we frequently hear that our students are at the top of their class in physical fitness and many have experienced substantial weight loss and other health benefits. Taekwondo is mentally challenging and progressive training improves focus, concentration and academic ability. Many of our students are regularly on the honour roll at their school and adults have found increased success in their careers and family. Walk in the doors at Cloverdale Black Belt Academy and you enter a positive, friendly environment where values like courtesy, respect, honour, integrity and loyalty are talked about and expected. We are very proud of our students as we frequently see them go out or their way to help others and get comments on how courteous and respectful they are. Give your children and yourself the value, benefit and success that results from training in Taekwondo at Cloverdale Black Belt Academy.

Odors are not a new problem but rather they have been around for as long as automobile air conditioning has been around.

A A prescription, compounded topical pain-gel is your best bet. Pain is a subjective sensation or a communication between the site of pain and your brain. We want something that can interrupt this message. A true compounding pharmacy such as ours has the proper equipment to prepare a pain-gel that will deliver the necessary ingredients directly to the areas that can block the pain message. An example of such a gel would be ketamine, gabapentin, clonidine, and baclofen in Lipoderm. Many other combinations exist, and it is quite common for our clients to feel a difference within minutes of first application. Get in touch with us, and we would be glad to give you or your physician more information on these compounded gels that could help you live pain free.

How a backpack can help your dog... mentally and physically!
Topical Pain Control
Here are a few tips on how to make this happen:
www.cloverdalebba.com like us on Facebook!
www.cloverdaleautorepair.ca
There are so many benefits to adding this item to your arsenal! Dogs need to be walked, that is a fact…and usually the longer the better. Putting a well-fit backpack on Fido can greatly increase the energy drain, even if you don’t have a lot of time to spend walking. A 20 minute walk with appropriate weight in the pack can bestow the same benefits as an hour long walk without! If you work up to adding weight, this can also have a positive effect on bone density and muscle mass in your pet. A backpack can represent a “job” for your dog. This is where the mental stimulation comes in. A working dog is more focused and has a sense of purpose. Treat a walk with the pack as a training exercise and everyone wins! Practicality also plays a role…Fido can carry your keys, his own water and other items that would otherwise be up to you to hold. A proper pack is also great for increasing visibility for both you and your pet. When choosing a pack, make sure it is size-appropriate and fits well. Chances are, you will only need to buy one good-quality backpack so pick one that is well-made, balanced and comfortable. Our favourite brand is Ruffwear. Adding weight to the pack is something that should be done gradually and should never exceed 10-15% of your pet’s weight (in lbs). You can use something like a water bottle or sand, that way the weight can be disposed of if Fido gets too tired. As always, check with your veterinarian before using weights with a dog that has skeletal or joint issues.
For most Canadian homeowners, paying Feisal Panjwani, AMP off their mortgage as quickly as possible is a top priority. Paying down extra principal in the early years by whatever means possible can shorten the life of your mortgage – and dramatically lower the interest you’ll pay over the long haul.
multiple offers on their property. After all, this resembles a bidding Edith Katronis war and would the seller not maximize their price by having multiple offers all at the same time bidding each other up? In a perfect world yes, but multiple offers can also backfire. In multiple offers, buyers feel unusual pressure and often make a hasty decision they regret later. Then, after a few days, they walk away from the contract. They are able to do that because deposits are not taken until all the subjects are removed. If you do have multiple offers, it is best to demand a deposit and no subjects on the spot then you know the highest offer you have negotiated is secure and enforceable.

Vision Elite won game one 25-20. Game two, excellent team defense and strong settling by Connolly put the Rebels up 16-10, but momentum shifted and the Elite closed the gap to 17-20. Strong hitting by Manitoba pushed the Elite to 25-22, a hard-

The teams were tied 11-11 in game three, but Cloverdale eventually got the edge, with Madison Ens serving well under pressure, taking the score to 1411, and then a line shot by Taylore Duhamel put the game away 15-12. The win placed the team in the semi-final against DRVC from Whitby, ON. Rain City got a big lead and held on for a 25-21 victory in the first game, with DVRC gaining a 23-13 lead in the second, making it
look like there was going to be a third game. But strong serving by Sarah Crema brought the Rebels back to 23-

Social psychologists call this gap “cognitive dissonance.” One of the ways that we cope with cognitive dissonance is by trivializing the gap. We tell ourselves that the inconsistency isn’t really that important. You may have a sense that your thoughts or behaviors have been offensive to the holy God who created you.

You don’t need to spend the rest of your life burdened with guilt. The Son of God is the answer—he paid the penalty for those who trust him.

His presence in the lineup will be missed next season by the Eagles, who will look to retool their lineup for the 2014 season. “Danton is a special player and we are excited for the opportunity ahead of him,” said Blaine Neufeld, the Eagles’ direct of hockey operations. “We wish the utmost success to Danton and now he will represent our program well.”
