Heli-pilot mourned across B.C.

A regimental funeral is planned for Dave Brolin.

By Jennifer Lang The Surrey pilot who perished in last week’s RCMP helicopter crash is being remembered as a dedicated family man and highly skilled pilot with more than 25 years of flying experience, from the Persian Gulf to Whistler. Dave Brolin, 46, a trusted eye in the sky for the RCMP’s E division in B.C., was killed Jan. 17, when the helicopter he was flying crashed near Cultus Lake. The Gulf War vet was a married father of two who grew up in Cloverdale, and went to Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Brolin had just completed a training exercise with the Emergency Response Team and was preparing to return to base when the helicopter crashed. He was the sole occupant. The Transportation Safety Board and the

‘Looking’ at you

BOAZ JOSEPH / BLACK PRESS

Ken Boyd, left, Patricia Braun, Pat McDermott and Kim Monsanto star in Looking, a comedy by Norm Foster, from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18 at the Surrey Little Theatre, 7027 184 St, Surrey. The play runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with Sunday matinees on Feb. 5 and 12.

Legendary flyer recalled “Not only that, he was a great guy and friend – one of the crew who took as much pride in the results of our shoots as we did.� A video clip featuring freeskier Sammi Carlson attempting an aerial jump as a helicopter sweeps past provides ample evidence of Brolin’s astonishing talents and quicksilver timing. His expertise, professionalism and dedication were also highly prized by his RCMP colleagues. A regimental funeral with an honour guard is planned for today at Peace Portal Alliance Church, at 15128 27B Avenue, in South Surrey. Condolences to the Brolin family are being posted at a page set up at www.bc.rcmp.ca. Messages will be passed onto his family. He leaves behind a wife, two children, a daughter, 8, and a boy aged 11. There are tributes from police and RCMP detachments across North America, the flying and film communities, and the office of the premier. “I was deeply saddened to learn of this tragic loss,� Premier Christy Clark said in a joint statement issued with B.C. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond last week.

“This serves as a reminder to all us of the bravery and dedication of emergency responders who work to further public safety and aid British Columbians in times of great need.� Those who didn’t know him, but valued his presence in the air, have expressed their deep gratitude to Brolin and the work he performed. “I’ve never met David, but having been in tough situations, it was always a blessing to have the ‘airship’ as we called it, available to us,� wrote former Surrey RCMP member Cst. Jeff Smith of the Toronto Airport detachment. “If we heard ‘Air One’ monitoring, we almost knew we were going to catch our man. Not to mention if we had a weapon call, how comforting is was to have someone watching over us.� Brolin, who was born in California, spent five years serving in the U.S. Army as part of the 3rd Calvary Air Mobile Unit during Operation Desert Storm. More recently, he spent eight years with Blackcomb Aviation in Whistler, where he was also a member of Whistler Search and Rescue. Brolin worked as a pilot on several Hollywood movie productions, including The Last Mimzy, Agent Cody Banks, and Snakes on a Plane.

Seeing the value in people A stint in hospital gives Dan Ferguson a front row seat to B.C.’s health care debate So the premiers and the prime minister are once again haggling over the cost of Canadian public health care with some people talking about how the current universal model is not sustainable. We need to tighten budgets, we are told, because the current spending on care for the sick and elderly is not sustainable. The talk is about money and budget bottom lines and the demographic challenge of an aging population. These are all nice, bloodless terms that avoid the visceral reality for people already struggling with the de facto rationing of health care. Like the 92-year-old man I met during a recent hospital stay. We were sharing a ward in Richmond Hospital following our respective surgeries. Mine was an elective procedure that I’d had two years to prepare for. He had fallen and shattered his hip. A surgical team had repaired

the damage, and the next step was going to be learning to walk again. It was his second broken hip, so he knew what he was in for. Sometimes, he would cough and make the pain even worse, then swear at it, then apologize for his mild profanity. The hurt and the prospect of more to come made him impatient and irritable about the ghastly hospital food and the sometimes slow response when he would pull the cord attached to the call button. On occasion, he would get snappish with the nurses on the surgical ward, then apologize and tell them that he understood they were understaffed and overworked. When he was feeling better, he would flirt with them in the respectful, gentle way of an older generation. He was waiting to be moved to another floor of the hospital with

the needed physiotherapy equipment, but a bed hadn’t opened up yet. To distract himself from the pain, he would occasionally sing to himself in a pitch-perfect high baritone that sounded uncannily like Burl Ives. He’d been there for more than two weeks when two nurses, women young enough to be his granddaughters, dropped by for a pre-move assessment. He’d been having a rough day. The pain meds didn’t seem to be working and he was tired from the resulting lack of sleep. He still hadn’t been able to walk. That’s okay, they said. They just wanted to see if he could stand up. He wasn’t sure he could. But they charmed him into it, helped him sit up in his bed and swing his legs to the side. One on his left, the other on his

right, they helped him get on his feet. As he stood swaying slightly, he couldn’t help remarking that one of them had the most beautiful brown eyes. “Take a step,” she suggested. “Just one.” He hesitated. “It’s okay,” she said. “We’re right here.” “Just take one,” the other young woman said. So he did. A slow, uncertain shuffle forward. “You did it.” Then another. And another. He made about eight steps before he had to sit down. “You tricked me,” he said. He looked pleased. That moment, I would suggest, deserves as much taxpayer-funded support as a toll bridge, fighter jet or football stadium. Maybe even more. – Dan Ferguson is a reporter at the Peace Arch News

Powerhouse for Poppy Fund From page one

Kelowna Legion member single handedly collected $33,660 by selling poppies, beating his own record of $28,500. That’s one-fifth of all the funds collected by his branch that year. The Poppy Fund is used to support veterans and their families through programs, housing and care facilities. Pratt has been part of the poppy campaign for more than 20 years, canvassing all day, five days a week in the six or seven weeks leading up to Remembrance Day. Last year, his stepdaughter Sharon Anderson of Cloverdale told The Reporter: “Every year he’s tried to beat the previous year. He’s so dedicated. He just loves it.” The minister also presented the commendation to the following B.C. residents: John Bishop of Cobble Hill, Velma Emberly of Victoria, Jack Fraser of Salt Spring Island, Vancouver’s Sandi Greenfield, Roy Kawamoto of Kelowna, Kelly Kwong of Burnaby, Bob Maley of North Vancouver, Robert Morrison of Vancouver, Gerard Ratchford of Esquimalt and Willliam Whalen of Pitt Meadows.

“These individuals have made a real and lasting difference with their service and dedication to our nation’s truest heroes,” Blaney said. “On behalf of all Canadians, I am proud to acknowledge their extraordinary efforts in helping to provide the care and recognition our veterans and their families deserve.” The commendation is presented to individuals who have contributed to the care and well-being of veterans and to the remembrance of their contributions, sacrifices and achievements. It is intended primarily for veterans, but in some circumstances may also be awarded to non-veterans. Fraser served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1962 to 1964, and was released due to an injury that nearly claimed an eye. He’s been a legion member since 1964, and has served in a variety of positions on the executive, including Branch president, Zone Commander, and branch service officer. He’s also he’s chair of the branch’s sick and visiting committee, a role that sees him visiting veterans in hospitals and at George Derby Centre.

Parents invited to talk about education and the future By Jennifer Lang The Surrey School District is inviting interested parents to participate in a series of forums on education over the next few weeks. School trustees will be attending each of the forums, titled Learning in Surrey – Navigating a Preferred Future, which will be facilitated by assistant superintendents. The purpose of the meetings is to gather ideas, share perspectives and spur discussion around education issues in Surrey, with a focus on the future. “Our board values this opportunity to hear directly from parents and students, and for these most important stakeholders in the education system, to help shape the future of the Surrey School District,” said board chairperson Laurae McNally. The B.C. education plan – specifically “21st century” themes of technology in classrooms, increased flexibility, and personalized learning – will serve as a launchpad for discussion at the forums. Representative groups of four to five parents from each secondary school will participate in the regional forums. Parents who are interested in taking part should contact their school principal. Parents will be given reading materials ahead of time. The forum planned for south area schools is Feb. 13 at Elgin Park Secondary, from 7 to 9 p.m. The forum for east area schools is prior to that, on Feb. 2 at Johnston Heights Secondary, as is the one planned for north area schools, which is Feb. 6 at L.A. Matheson Secondary. There’s also a student forum planned for Feb. 13 at the District Education Centre.

‘Bizarre sightings’ baffled onlookers From page 9

time, very high in the sky. One seemed to stop, make a 90-degree turn and start moving east. “I dragged my 17-year-old son outside onto the deck to watch, and he thought they were definitely not airplanes, especially given the extreme right turn they each made.” Another person was also relieved after reading the story. “Unless you’ve seen them yourself, it really is a bizarre sighting.” It’s hard not to conclude it’s all really part of a sneaky advertising scheme dedicated to stirring up that all-important buzz for a product. “Don’t be surprised if your display makes front page news in your local paper!” A website that sells paper lanterns called FlyingLanterns. co.uk gushes. “Flying lanterns can easily be mistaken for UFOs!” If so, then a lot of people will feel duped. It’s worth noting the site carries this warning: Please ensure you contact the local coast guard if you intend releasing your lanterns on the beach or near the coast. This will avoid causing unneces-

sary alarm. Vike, who’s investigated hundreds of UFO sightings, concedes the strange lights may turn out to be lanterns but he doesn’t expect it will dampen the debate for now. The time of year – the festive holiday season – may further underscore this theory. “It would be the time of year that folks would let things like this go, and they are becoming a popular addition to fireworks. I just wish we [could hear from] the folks who know for a fact, the folks who let them go. This would be awesome.”

A strange sighting in the sky above a local gas station.

There were as many as 20 lights in the Dec. 22 sighting, according to the witness who uploaded a video of the event on YouTube.

By Jeff Nagel A new study has found B.C. patients are much likelier than other Canadians to refuse to take prescribed medicine because of the cost. The Canadian Medical Association Journal analyzed 2007 Statistics Canada survey data and found 17 per cent of B.C. residents did not follow prescriptions as directed in order to save money in the previous year. That was more than double the 7.2 per cent rate reported by Quebecers and well above the national average of 9.6 per cent of respondents who scrimped on their drugs to save cash. Failing to fill or refill a prescription on time or skipping doses can make treatment less effective and worsen chronic diseases, the journal noted. “We did not expect that cost-related non-adherence would be highest in British Columbia,” the CMAJ research paper said. “This finding might result from the province’s high-deductible public drug plan or the high level of personal debt among its residents.” The CMAJ report said providing better coverage to improve prescription use would likely reduce spending in other areas, such as acute care admissions to hospital. Health Minister Mike de Jong said he wants the disparity between B.C. and the rest of the country investigated further. Prescription drug costs are entirely covered, with no deductible, for more than 270,000 low-income patients in B.C. – the poorest 10 per cent. “We need to take a closer look at why some residents report having challenges accessing prescriptions,” de Jong said in a statement. He noted a 40-year-old on social assistance who racks up nearly $1,400 in drug costs to control hypertension should pay nothing out of pocket,

while other categories of low-income patients might pay around 30 per cent of their true drug cost themselves. NDP leader Adrian Dix said he believes the problem is not the poor but middle-income earners who struggle against high housing prices and rising health premiums, ICBC premiums, electricity rates and other costs. “It shows the growth in inequality and how much pressure there is today on middle-income people,” Dix said. “One in six people are not taking the drugs they need because it’s too expensive – twice as much as anywhere else.” The CMAJ study found underuse of prescriptions due to cost was most prevalent among low-income earners without medical insurance – more than 35 per cent reported doing it. But nearly 15 per cent of the highest-income earners withAdrian Dix out insurance also resorted to the practice – more than the lowest-income earners with insurance. Dix argued B.C. could have done much more to keep a lid on pharmaceutical prices, which have skyrocketed over the past 20 years, had it been more prepared to stand up to drug companies. He noted B.C.’s pricing structure charges patients more for generic drugs – 35 per cent of brand name cost – compared to just 25 per cent in Ontario and Quebec. De Jong said B.C. has the lowest per capita drug expenditure in the country at $573 per person and provides more extensive drug coverage on many fronts.

AFA CHEMICAL PEEL

The AFA chemical peel is an amino acid antioxidant based peel which helps remove dulling dead skin cells on the surface and stimulates cells within the skin to create a polished and glowing complexion. AFA stands for amino filaggrin based antioxidants. The amino acids in the formula take after the amino acids that occur naturally in your skin, and thus do not trigger allergic reactions. The amino acids work to exfoliate and provide antioxidants, while moisturizing the skin. Effective exfoliation can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduce visible hyper pigmentation (age spots) and promote a more youthful and beautiful appearance to the skin. The antioxidants will help to promote a more healthy appearance of the skin, and there is little or no irritation. Along with good exfoliation, greater moisture retention in the skin helps even

further reduce the appearance of fine lines. It is one of the newest and most popular chemical peel treatments available because it is very effective and can treat acne, uneven pigmentation, and dull rough skin, and sun damaged skin. The AFA peel is also an excellent pre-treatment for acne laser treatments or acne laser treatments and will help to increase better results. AFA CLAY PEEL The AFA peel exfoliates dead skin with less irritation than typical alpha-hydroxy peels. Peels are remarkably effective, and available only through medical professionals. To maintain his mantra for using the most effective yet least invasive and pain free procedures, Clover Laser Centre has introduced the AFA chemical peels regimen by Ferndale. Unlike other chemical peels in the market, this special and unique AFA formula from Ferndale delivers the least painful and least invasive chemical peeling while delivering the maximum acidity for the most optimal results. Patients are able to undergo this procedure during their “lunch breaks”, due to the lack of downtime with this procedure. The result is luminous, subtle, younger looking skin. This can be used alone or in combination with the Microdermbrasion for skin rejuvenation or acne treatment. An inclinic Rx regimen is administered in series at the clinic. Take home

treatment kits are also available.
