Falcon pledges support for rival Christy Clark

Kevin Falcon

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon finished a close second to Christy Clark on the final ballot at last week’s Liberal leadership contest, but enough of Shuswap MLA George Abbott’s support went to Clark to give her the win. Abbott was asked why more of his supporters didn’t go to Falcon when he was dropped off the ballot after the second round. “B.C. Lib-

erals are very independent minded people, and all I ever said was, you know, on a balance between Kevin and Christy, I was going to vote for Kevin,” Abbott said. “But I know for example, my wife had a different view, and I’m sure that many of my other supporters had a different view.” Falcon and Clark had disagreed over whether the party should dispense with the fixed election date of May 2013 in favour of an earlier vote to give a new premier a fresh mandate. “I’m sure that Christy will talk to all of us in the caucus before she makes any final decisions around that,” Falcon told Black Press. “There are opportunities for by-elections

And I’ll be there providing it, and I’ll be supporting her.” Clark received 4,420 votes on the final ballot while Falcon finished with 4,080 points, earning 48 per cent of party support to Clark’s 52 per cent.

HERE’S TO JESSIE Cloverdale Legion members raised a glass Monday to toast bar manager Jessie Palmiere. After many years of dedicated service at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6, Palmiere is retiring. Her last day was Feb. 28. She’d asked to keep her retirement low-key, but said she was happy to see some of her old customers and friends on her final bar shift. Legion members said they wished her well and that she enjoys her retirement.

An inventive exhibit

By Jennifer Lang This weekend, Surrey’s Historic Stewart Farm opens the doors to a new exhibit celebrating the ingenuity, inventions and innovations of women, just in time for International Women’s Day (March 8). From healers and homemakers to designers and engineers, Mothers of Invention explores the origins of inventions, objects and ideas of women from the Lower Mainland, across Canada and around the world. The exhibit was created in collaboration with innovative women in the region. The Historic Stewart Farm put out a call for contributions earlier this year. The result is an exhibition that covers a wide range of expertise, from art, clothing, textiles, medicine, mathematics and science, to healing, food, cleaning products, personal well-

being and childcare. Materials on view include common and unusual tools, equipment, household items, novelties and personal gear demonstrating a range of technologies. The exhibit opens Saturday, March 5 with an International Women’s Day open house and runs to May 5. An upcoming talk by a local inventor called Ingenious Inventing is one of the highlights. On March 24, guest speaker Maya Sinclair, president of the B.C. Inventors Society, will share her insights into the inventing process, from breathing life into a new idea to developing a patent. She’ll discuss where to find information, how to exchange ideas, and where to seek support. The evening runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Cost is $10; for ages 16 and up. At the March 5 open house,

‘NOONERS’ A NO-NO The owner of a South Surrey company has been found guilty of sending his employee sexually harassing text messages. Zbigniew Augustynowicz of Metro Aluminum Products at 19045 24 Ave. has also been ordered to pay $30,000, a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ruled. Lisa McIntosh told the hearing last August she’d been in a relationship with Augustynowicz until finding out he was still married. She tried to break off the relationship, but she continued to receive unwanted text messages from him. Tribunal member Enid Marion said the repeated and unwanted sexualized text messages constituted harassment and discrimination, and ordered payment of $14,493 in lost wages, $2,900 for expenses incurred and $12,500 in damages for injury to dignity, feelings and self respect. “Mr. Augustynowicz repeatedly texted sexual propositions or references to her, such as ‘need a nooner’...”, Marion said in the judgement, made public last week.

News

in brief

A recent complaint from a Clayton resident has helped prompt the City of Surrey to ban smoking at bus stops. A bylaw is being drafted after it turned out smokers were violating the existing law. Sophia D’Amato complained after the city put a bus stop within five metres of her 6700-block 194 Street home – a violation of the city’s bylaw requiring smokers to be at least 7.5 metres from any door, window or vent when puffing away. Smoke from bus passengers waiting at the stop was wafting into D’Amato’s home – and the homes of her neighbours. Their townhouses front the sidewalk on 194 St. The city is also going to prohibit smoking in public parks. Signs will be posted at bus stops throughout Surrey in the coming

Son Run Physical fitness is a good thing. Many Lower-Mainlanders take their fitness seriously. No matter when you’re out and about, you’ll see walkers, runners and cyclists. Often there are groups of five to ten runners moving along energetically, obviously intent on both form and speed. It could be they’re training for April’s Sun Run. Consistent training will help them achieve a worthwhile goal. The Bible acknowledges the value of physical training, but goes further. The apostle Paul states: “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” (1st Timothy 4:8). Thankfully this godliness is not something we achieve on our own. Faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour is the one prerequisite. We can follow in his footsteps! “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Hebrews 12: 1-2). We invite you to join us in this spiritual training, so together we can follow the Son! By Sarah Vandergugten

Developing a conscience Canadians expect their MPs to do the right thing when it comes to maternal and child health To the editor; Passing Bill C-393- legislation to fix Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR), which is presently before Parliament is a glaring example of acting on behalf of Canadians. Stephen Harper, his Conservative M.P.s and other Members of Parliament have the opportunity

to do the right thing, by allowing developing countries access to generic, affordable, life saving drugs. Every day, people are suffering and dying from treatable illnesses because they are too poor to afford medicines Canadians often take for granted.

Cloverdale, a beacon of light To the editor; Every morning on my drive to work I head down 176 to Highway #10. As I leave home I look forward to seeing the tall tree still lit up after Christmas and it cheers me up. I sometimes ponder with foreboding – when will someone decide it’s time to leave them off – and who is it that decides.

If you had my vote the answer would be to keep them lit all year long. If need be, just change the colors to white if anyone complains about the Christmassy colors. To me, they are like “the candle in the window” for sailors, a beacon of home-coming, and for me ‘work-going’. The cheerfulness they offer my morning commute helps me choose that par-

ticular route. Not that anyone is asking, just thought I would take a few minutes to say, “Hey thanks Cloverdale people, I love it!” You light up my life. G. Wilkinson Langley

Surrey council sorely lacking sense To the editor; RE: “Gambling with our future,” Sept. 24, 2010 Yes, it looks very much as if council is gambling with our future. They have been emptying Cloverdale for a long time. First, by neglecting the leaky Cloverdale mall, and moving the stores somewhere else. Even all the antique stores had to be put in one big place, in the Clover Square Village and now it is closing too, because the rent increased drastically – how convenient. The once vibrant 176 Street is now nearly empty, with many places behind security bars, because, Surrey has become so vibrant – with crime. And didn’t council invite George Bush and his buddy, Bill Clinton to Surrey’s Economic Regional Summit in November? So they can for an economic price of $450,000 learn from those leaders’ “unique” global “perspective”? Aren’t you going to lose the race

track for a stadium? Apparently, council is looking for a P3 partner to build a 10,000 seat one. Probably, for the Whitecaps, the mayor’s a member of Steve Nash’s club. So naturally, she wants him to come to Cloverdale. Not only does council want all this fancy ‘world-class’ stuff, but they want to build it too, since they baptise themselves a Development Corporation. But who will pay the bills when something goes wrong, as it did in Vancouver, when Vancouver council got involved in their Olympic Village fiasco? They inherited the problem. But Surrey council is creating one. Council seems to be very interested in children, nowadays. Even got two school trustees to join Watts’, her real estate club. So, they can be in charge of education too. Put everything under one umbrella – theirs. Maybe that’s why there is no more adult education.

Adult education programs just weren’t delivered anymore, although they had a contract to do so. Where did the programs go? Because they weren’t delivered to the libraries anymore either. Surrey schools are already overcrowded. Soon, children may have to go to school in shifts. School board chair Laura McNally thinks we should contact our local MLAs to ask for more funding, because, “Santa didn’t drop any new schools down the chimney”. Maybe Santa didn’t because in 2009 a school was making fun of Santa’s red underwear, which doesn’t instill respectability, does it? Instead, we could demand that council stops this push to bring in more people and reshape Surrey into something “they want”. Because it doesn’t seem to be doing Surrey any good. We see more crime, drug use, disrespect for law

and order. Even new homes have security bars, which don’t look very attractive, or give a sense of security and happiness. In 2004, when Doug McCallum was mayor, Surrey had “no debt and close to $400 million in cash reserves”. Then Surrey had “one of the healthiest balance sheets in the country”. And now, six years later, under Mayor Dianne Watts are $283.4 million in debt, although they made $1.2 billion on building permits in 2010. Were they gambling “with confidence” at the Fraser Downs? Because a change from a plus $400 million to a minus $283.4 million doesn’t show good “GameSense”. It looks very much as if Surrey council needs debt counselling. The provincial Liberals are broke too, and in disarray. So, we may have to look for new council members who can play within their limits. Catharina Leidel Surrey

Q: What exactly is a Dental Implant? A: It is simply a permanent replacement for a missing tooth

or teeth. It may replace a single tooth (as in the case of most sports injuries) or be a complete set of natural looking, natural functioning, permanent porcelain teeth to replace partial or complete dentures. Dental implants can be used to increase the stability and support of existing dentures as in the case of an overdenture. The installation of most dental implant systems is a two step procedure. Step 1 is a minor surgical procedure which involves carefully screwing a root shaped titanium fixture into the patients jaw-bone (to mimic the shape of the missing tooth root). It takes 3-6 months of healing before the implant has fully ‘fused’ to the surrounding bone. Step 2 involves securing an abutment anchor and custom crown on top of the implant fixture. The end result is a solid free standing implant and crown combination which looks completely natural and functions like your original teeth. The clinical science and technology behind some of the more established dental implant systems (such as Nobel Biocare or ITI Straumann) date back more than 30 years and are considered the Standard of Care for replacement of missing teeth. In the hands of an experienced implant trained Dentist, the surgical placement and prosthetic reconstruction is a highly predictable, permanent and viable treatment option for many patients. Some pre-requisites for implant treatment are overall good health, no pre-existing pathology or gum disease, a stable dentition and good bone density and volume in the area of the missing tooth. Patients rarely request dental implants when they are missing teeth and often end up settling for fixed bridgework or partial dentures – our suggestion is that if your dentist recommends a fixed or a partial denture, be sure to ask him or her IF a dental implant would be a viable option for you. If your dentist does not place dental implants, we encourage you to call our office today and book your FREE dental implant consultation. Our office will be happy to perform a thorough examination to determine if your are a suitable candidate for tooth replacement with a dental implant.*

Two Cloverdale gymnasts made an impressive showing at last month’s Fraser Valley high school gymnastics tournament. Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s Debbie Besoiu, 13, and McKaylie Taverner, 14, placed third and second overall at the Feb. 18 regional competition, held at Port Coquitlam’s TAG Sports Centre. Besoiu, a Level 3 gymnast, placed first on vault, and third on bars, beam and floor exercises, giving her a well-deserved final award of third all-around.

Teammate McKaylie Taverner placed first on both vault and beam events, third on floor, and seventh on bars, giving her a final award of second all around. Coach Tara Irving says there are eight girls on the LTSS gymnastics team and it looks like six of them will be going to the provincials. The 2011 B.C. High School Gymnastics Championships run March 11 to 13 in Delta.

Hudon triumphs, off to nationals Harness racer has a great final race By Jennifer Lang One of Surrey’s own will represent western Canada at the national driving championships this May in Charlottetown. Dave Hudon, a harness racing driver at Fraser Downs, won last weekend’s Western Regional Driving Championships, an eight-race event hosted by his home track Feb. 26. Alberta rep Brandon Campbell, 27, had a couple of wins early in the day, putting him out front in the standings until the final leg of the final race. Hudon, 47, was able to regain his second place spot in the standings in race six on Surreyowned filly Millbanks Ariel, and then earned enough points in the final race to catch up to Campbell and pass him in the standings. “I had to make sure I was at least keeping the second spot and the horse responded really well,” Hudon said, after flying to a first-place finish on Aces Double Suited. Campbell, meanwhile, said he was happy to be returning to his home province of Prince Edward Island for the nationals in May, when he and Dave Hudon Hudon will vie for a spot representing Canada at the 2011 World Driving Championship later this summer in the United States. The point total for the 2011 Western Regional Driving Championships is as follows: 1. Dave Hudon (B.C.) - 63 2. Brandon Campbell (Alberta) - 59 3. Mike Hennessy (B.C.) - 53 4. Gerry Hudon (Alberta) - 43 4. Jim Marino (B.C.) - 43 5. Keith Clark (Alberta) - 41 6. Glenn LeDrew (Saskatchewan) - 38 7. Dallas McGee (Manitoba) - 36 Each driver donated their earnings from the event to the Surrey Association for Community Living, with Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino matching their contributions.

Magnesium is essential for all cellular functions. It ensures proper heart, skeletal and vascular muscular contraction and relaxation. Hence magnesium may help lower blood pressure, treat muscular cramps, restless leg syndrome, and involuntary movements. Magnesium also supports normal nerve functions and may benefit ADHD, nerve pains, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, sleep, and PMS. Magnesium is also essential for healthy bones. For the best results choose a chelated form of magnesium reinforced with malic acid, taurine, glutamine and other vitamins for nerve and muscle functions. Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s new MAGsmart is one such preparation that I recommend.

What can I expect from a Taekwondo program?

The first thing that usually comes to mind is fitness or self defence. Although these are both great benefits of Taekwondo, the skills that will endure are dedication, confidence, perseverance, courtesy and respect. As the students physical health improves so does their mental well being. Students become more confident as the training intensifies and they begin to see that working hard is fun and has great rewards. One part of our test to Black Belt is an endurance test. Once completed, the students realize that they are capable of much more than they imagined. They are able to push themselves farther than they ever have in the past. Years from now, it is not the forms and techniques that they learned that will endure, but the self confidence and commitment that they learned along their martial arts journey that will prevail and assist them with success in their future!

If you are on a friendly basis with your neighbor kindly explain to them your concerns about their messy yard. Remind them that having a nice tidy yard will help them get good new neighbors. If you don’t feel comfortable talking with them yourself you can ask a third party, such as your realtor, to do this for you. You could also volunteer to help them tidy up, trim the hedges or whatever it may be. Your last option, which is the most time consuming, would be to call city or municipal authorities who will eventually force the neighbors to remove any unreasonable debris. Whatever you do, do not enter and clean up without the owner’s permission because you could be considered trespassing.

Q

I understand there were some recent changes to the eligible medical expenses that one can claim for tax purposes, can you help explain them?

A

In 2010, the government announced that expenses for purely cosmetic procedures including any related services and other expenses such as travel, incurred after March 4, 2010, cannot be claimed as eligible medical expenses. Therefore, both surgical and nonsurgical procedures aimed solely at enhancing one’s appearance are not eligible. Expenses that are ineligible include teeth whitening, liposuction, botox injections, and hair replacement treatments. However, if an expense is necessary for medical or reconstructive purposes it may still qualify as an eligible medical expense. This may occur when the treatment in performed in an attempt to rectify an injury or disfiguration from an accident or disease, or a deformity related to a congenital abnormality. As always, please remember to keep all of your receipts for any medical expenses that you claim, since the CRA may ask you to provide them in order to substantiate the claim. For assistance with filing your personal taxes, please contact me at your convenience.
