A former Vancouver police officer accused of trafficking marijuana has been granted bail – with a string of conditions his lawyer described as “restrictive.” Peter Hodson, a 31-year-old White Rock resident who grew up on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, was granted release from the Surrey Pre-Trial Centre Wednesday afternoon, following an hour-long bail hearing in Vancouver Provincial Court. As Hodson’s parents listened, Judge Jeanne Watchuk imposed 16 conditions and ordered a cash deposit of $65,000 for his release. Hodson was arrested – and fired – April 21 at Vancouver Police Department’s Cambie Street headquarters, following a two-month investigation into allegations that a constable was selling “street-level amounts” of Peter Hodson marijuana both on- and in UBC photo off-duty. Hodson has been charged with trafficking marijuana, breach of trust and break-and-enter with the intent to commit extortion in connection with the allegations. Watchuk imposed a publication ban on what was said at Wednesday’s hearing. However, Hodson’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, said outside court that his client intends to plead not guilty to the charges and that he intends “to pursue every legal option available” to defend Hodson. Michaels said he has received only “a frac see page A4

The piano sits in the front room of Alison Bennett’s home, by the window where the morning sun warms the hues of its vintagebrown tones. And though its keys are the traditional black and white, this grand Mason & Riche is far from ordinary. It represents a passion that first found its way into Bennett’s soul nearly four decades ago and still continues, despite her inability to play anymore. “I was very good,” the longtime school teacher says of the talent she began exploring at age eight. Thirty-nine years later, as she struggles with the debilitating symptoms of ALS – that, almost cruelly, first appeared in her hands – her passion hasn’t wavered. Music, she says, “makes a wellrounded child. In the classroom... I used it as a tool. It exposes a whole new side of their brain.” And for Bennett, it is therapy. “I have satellite radio going all the time,” she says, lighting up at the thought. “It makes me feel good, all music (though) not the head-banging stuff.” Bennett began teaching in 1986, first in Calgary, then in Vancouver and Victoria, before arriving in South Surrey in 2004, where she taught at Laronde Elementary up until last November. Her love of children drove her career; her musical prowess made it easy to find work wherever her husband’s job took them. “Because I had music, I always got a job,” she said. “My reputation followed me around. It was quite handy.” see page A8

asking the province to consider indexing the HST threshold on an annual basis, to reflect the actual price of housing. As homes have risen in price so much in recent years, the property transfer tax (ironically, an initiative of the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1987) which was at one time considered to be a “luxury tax� has become a tax that 88 per cent of all home buyers pay. As the province seems to have no interest in reducing or eliminating that tax, which brings in about $1 billion a year, the BCREA wants it to seriously consider reducing what it refers to as “shelter taxes.� Keeping the effect of the HST to a minimum is the best way of doing so, he stated. “They are taxing the living daylights out of housing,� Moloney said. People who have bought new homes in recent years have had the advantage of paying very low interest rates, but those days are drawing to a conclusion. With the HST kicking in on July 1, there is a very real chance that one of Surrey’s biggest industries could slow down to a trickle. At the very least, the points made by Moloney and others show why much more discussion about the effects of the HST would have been far better than the way this tax has been handled.

news Surrey-White Rock surpasses target, two other Peninsula ridings
Anti-HST petition tops 300,000 signatures Jeff Nagel Black Press
Organizers of a campaign to repeal the harmonized sales tax say they now have more than 300,000 signatures from across the province. Canvassers say their anti-HST petition has more than the required 10 per cent of voters in 44 ridings – including Surrey-White Rock, where 5,951 signatures had been collected as of May 2. The 90-day Citizens’ Initiative needs 10 per cent of registered voters – all verified by Elections BC – in all 85 constituencies to
be declared successful. Sign-ups have been strongest in northern B.C. Surrey-White Rock is among 17 ridings that have passed a higher 15 per cent target set to offset disallowed signatures. Other local ridings still have a way to go. As of May 2, Surrey-Cloverdale had 1,601 signatures, less than one-third of the 5,934 target; Surrey-Panorama had 1,916 signatures, 3,774 short of its target. Other Lower Mainland ridings above the 15 per cent target are Delta South and the two Chilliwack ridings. Abbotsford South, Delta North, Fort Langley-Aldergrove, Langley,
North Vancouver-Seymour, Port Coquitlam and Surrey-Green Timbers have passed the 10 per cent minimum. The lowest numbers are being recorded in Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. Campaign organizers say government’s passage last week of HST-enabling legislation stoked more anger among voters. “People were hoping their MLA would vote according to their wishes,” said Surreybased organizer Patricia Enair. “When (Liberal MLAs) didn’t, we saw an increase in people phoning, wanting to find out where they can sign the petition.”
Enair said challenges that have hampered the campaign have included finding locations to host petitions, as many commercial properties don’t want to get involved. The campaign wraps up July 5. Success does not ensure the HST, which merges the GST and PST into a single 12 per cent charge, will be repealed. The right number of signatures may force government to introduce legislation dismantling the tax, but the repeal bill could simply be defeated or never called for a vote. If that happens, campaigners vow to target Liberal MLAs for recall.
Accused dogs get second chances Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock city officials have put the owners of a dog accused of mauling a teacup chihuahua to death last month on notice – control your dog or risk losing it. “We basically had to send notice to the property owners, as per our bylaw, because there has not been any previous incidents with the dog,” said Paul Stanton, the city’s director of development services. “More than one incident, and the dog’s got to be gone or put down.” Helen Koch’s chihuahua, Coco, was killed April 16 as the threepound dog neared the end of a walk around the block with Koch. According to Koch, a black husky-type dog that was walking off-leash with two women and another, on-leash dog, ran up to Coco Coco and “basimauled to death cally mauled her to death.” Stanton said the city’s dog bylaw gives “a one-chance scenario.” Since Coco’s death, at least two other dog owners say they have reported attacks on their pets to the city, most recently on May 1. White Rock’s Brittany Johnson said her dog, Cash, needed stitches in his face after he was attacked by a pit bull/border collie while playing with other off-leash dogs in Semiahmoo Park. Johnson said she was told by a bylaws official “there’s not much they can do,” as the dog in question does not have a record of attacks. Johnson, who hopes to recoup her vet costs through small-claims court, encouraged anyone who has such run-ins to report them. Stanton did not know if the notice issued in connection with Coco’s death included a fine. Ray Buksh, White Rock’s manager of bylaw enforcement, did not return calls by Thursday afternoon.

Decision follows earlier criticism of businesses’ response to parking survey
City backs Marine Drive valet service Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Free parking on the waterfront may be a dead issue – for now – but White Rock council has thrown its support behind a seven-day-aweek Marine Drive valet parking service proposed by a waterfront restaurateur. At its Monday night meeting, council members endorsed financial services director Sandra Kurylo’s recommendation to green light the service, proposed by Matthew Hale, owner of Cielo’s Tapas and Oyster Bar, from mid-May to late October. Just a week earlier, council had voted down free waterfront parking in the winter months after expressing disappointment at the limited response from businesses to a city survey on the program. “We want to encourage people to stay in the city,” Coun. Al Campbell said after Monday night’s meeting.
“The decision on parking was not anti-business, just good business, for us.” The new valet parking program may provide greater convenience for Marine Drive business patrons, but no relief to their pocketbooks, however. In her report to council, Kurylo pointed out that while the service would add parking capacity and more options for visitors during the summer season, it is seen as a specialty service and would be priced at a premium. Kurylo said letters of support from other businesses are being received – a necessary comfort level for the city in the absence of an official endorsement from the White Rock BIA, currently in limbo pending approval of its renewal bylaw. The city will provide two Martin Street parking stalls for the service, seven days a week from 4:30 p.m.

from fiction,” Michaels said. “There’s a real disconnect between the guy he was and the allegations that are being made against him.” In court Wednesday, Hodson listened intently as Crown counsel Teresa Mitchell-Banks made submissions, and at least twice he cast a slight smile towards his parents, Rex and Sue Hodson. The couple declined to comment while awaiting the judge’s decision. They were later followed by reporters outside the courthouse.
Hodson’s release conditions include: a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew; a nine-person ‘no contact’ list; a ban on possessing any weapons; and a one-telephone limit, either land-line or cell. He is also banned from an area in Vancouver, bounded by False Creek/the Strait of Georgia to the north, Boundary Road to the east, southwest/northwest Marine Drive to the south and Oak Street to the west. Hodson – an alumnus of White Rock Christian Academy – is due back in court on June 22.

opinion Peace Arch News Published at White Rock by Black Press Ltd.
editorial
We still rely on drivers’ whims tiffer penalties aimed at taking drunk drivers off B.C. roads were announced last week by Public Safety Minister Mike de Jong, and the new legislation is nothing to scoff at. Michael and Laurel Middelaer, whose 4½-year-old daughter Alexa was killed in 2008 while feeding horses at the side of the road, were both on hand for the announcement of the new rules, which state that a driver failing a roadside breath test will face a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and 30-day vehicle impoundment. Add in other fines and fees for towing and education and that second beer with dinner could end up costing more than $3,700. Higher fines are also in store for people who blow a “warn” – defined as a reading between 0.05 and 0.08 blood-alcohol content. This could lead to a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative penalty. Previously, the punishment handed out by police for either infraction was a 24-hour roadside suspension. The stiffer penalties were welcomed by the Middelaer family, who’ve campaigned tirelessly in Alexa’s honour to eradicate drunk driving. (A woman faces charges of impaired driving causing death, and is scheduled to appear in court this month.) Last month, Alexa’s Team – made up of more than 60 Lower Mainland police officers – was honoured for helping drive forth the cause. But despite increased enforcement, penalties, education and – sadly – the death of innocent victims, recent reports suggest that people still don’t get it. Provincial stats show an increase in drunk driving cases across B.C. – about one in 30 people have yet to get the message, despite the impassioned pleas from people like the Middelaers, as well as Counterattack and Mothers Against Drunk Driving programs. So while the new rules are to be applauded, they are not, on their own, a catch-all solution. No rules, no matter how stiff, will eradicate impaired driving from our streets. Many who drive drunk have to believe, when they get behind the wheel, that they’ll never be caught, nor cause an accident. After all, if the possibility of death – either their own, or their innocent victim’s – hasn’t scared them sober already, a few hundred dollars in fines surely won’t. The onus, then, is on all of us, as individual drivers, to make the only safe decision. Don’t drink and drive.

But she is not coming “home.” Granted, I get the rationale. “No!” she said last year, exasperated at my offer of returning to the way it’s always been. Her in my downstairs suite. Safe. Accessible. There. For economy’s sake – that’s all I meant. Her firm rebuke was expected, and respected. “I am not going to be a Mountie in my mom’s basement.” And now that I think about it, she’s right. There are too many transgressions. Do I really want The Law around here? On deadline mornings, I can peel out of my parking spot at a pretty good clip without shoulder-checking (although I do have convex mirrors). I sometimes throw newspapers in the garbage can instead of the recycling bin. There’s loud music. Red wine at noon on weekends. And dancing. Occasionally. Maybe it’s better this way. When she first left, I used to think the ghosts of her sounds and scents and images were doppelgangers, destined to haunt me with what was and will never be again.

A bouquet of compliments Editor: I come from a city that had no trees. Nothing from horizon to horizon, which is 40 miles where the Earth begins to curve. The only visible feature was a pile of buffalo bones left by aboriginal hunters, and so the future city site was called Pile of Bones. Today, that city has more than 300,000 trees but each one was hand-planted, nurtured and many are protected. On these lush spring mornings in White Rock, I am in wonder how I came to walking down the ravine trails surrounded by trees and the sounds of birds to come out on the beach with eagles fighting off crows over a Marine Drive rejuvenated with pedestrian lights, crosswalks and new curbs and sidewalks all the way up the Hump. My slog up our free workout, called Oxford Street, passes new retaining walls on Upper Roper and back to Ruth Johnson Park where the old curling rink is being demolished for a $6-million Centre for Active Living. The project sign reveals this is a collaboration of various governments and infrastructure money. It is remarkable that a city with only a $29-million budget can accomplish so much to incrementally move forward. I am beginning to compose a bouquet of compliments to the administration, mayor and council when, at my seaside coffee shop I open the Peace Arch News to see everybody angry at something, somebody, or just venting. White Rock, take a deep cleansing breath and thank heaven this is not Pile of Bones. Larry Robinson, White Rock
Lastly, I amazed anyone pays any attention to anything Bill Vander Zalm has to say. Have they forgotten why he was driven from office? No one likes paying taxes, but the HST will be much better for the citizens of B.C. than the old GST and PST collected separately. Bill Phelps, Surrey Q I’d like to echo the sentiment of hundreds of thousands of B.C. residents, in particular, the people in this Lower Mainland area who are fed up with both the federal and provincial governments who continually have their hands in our pockets for another tax handout. Politicians maintain, “hidden PST will be eliminated saving B.C. businesses $2 billion resulting in more investment, jobs, higher wages and lower prices.” What they don’t emphasize is they’ll unhide the PST all right and lump it into an HST. They say there will or should be less administration costs – $30 million – but the B.C. consumer will pay a lot more for their hydro, gas, meals and a host of other goods and services that they don’t have added taxation on now. And as far as consumers eventually paying less, the old phrase of “when pigs fly” comes to mind. Our politicians appear to be spending well beyond their – our – means and then coming to the public for a bailout with yet another regressive piggy back tax. Enough is enough. When they are making their $120,000-150,000
and more, with generous expense accounts, they don’t seem to mind. It is bad enough we have to endure the GST brought in by the Conservatives. The electorate voted 98 per cent of them out, as I recall, when these politicians did not listen. This HST, which will add new taxation on a variety of goods and services, is a regressive tax and certainly will not be “revenue neutral.” We will all pay more for a host of goods and services. Think about holding those accountable for the introduction of the HST in B.C., and particularly in this political riding area. We should all defeat the HST. A. White, Surrey
Past feedback was ignored Editor: Re: ‘Poor response’ stalls free parking, April 28. I was flabbergasted by the story regarding how White Rock councillors are disappointed with the lack of businesses’ response to their city-funded survey regarding parking on Marine Drive in the winter months. Their disappointment in not receiving feedback from the 82 businesses seems to be contradictory to their position regarding the feedback they have received from residents regarding our White Rock Fire Department.
A private petition/survey of residents, carried out by members of White Rock Firefighters Union, auxiliary/volunteer firefighters, as well as many private citizens, received 5,400 signatures to keep their existing fire department. More citizens signed the petition than voted in the last civic election. Coun. Al Campbell stated in the article, “It’s a two-way street,” but council’s seeming determination to discount the feedback of its citizens in the matter of the fire department makes me wonder if it really is. Coun. Helen Fathers stated, “If I were championing a cause… I’d be on it.” Ninety-five per cent of Fathers immediate neighbours signed the petition to keep the existing White Rock fire service. Is she really representing the people that voted her in? How about Coun. Lynne Sinclair’s statement: “This is a data-driven decision.” Well, the data and facts are in; we will lose more than gain by giving up our own White Rock Fire Department in response times, community involvement by White Rock firefighters and the charities they support, not to mention the dedication by its auxiliary/ volunteers, some who have more than 30 years of service. If certain councillors are so concerned about feedback, listen to all of it, on all issues. Perhaps they city should run a funded survey to get feedback from all its citizens regarding the subject of our existing fire department. H. & R, Kiesewetter, White Rock

Divided over HST opinions Editor: Re: Vander Zalm’s lemmings head towards cliff, April 21. Columnist Tom Fletcher really hit the nail on the head when he wrote about the HST. There are a couple things that need to be said: First, people demand services from the government; and that being said means we have to pay for them somehow. Secondly, we are already paying the GST and PST and they add up to 12 per cent; that being said with the HST means we will be paying the same amount as before. And yes, we will pay on some things we didn’t pay on before, and, of course, some that we won’t. Most importantly, the B.C. government will be saving the taxpayers millions in not having to pay the administrative costs of collecting the PST, ergo money that can be used for education, healthcare and other programs.

Schools with qualified teacher-librarians – and well-stocked libraries – help students, writes Daryl Sturdy.
An erosion of literacy services Editor: Re: Counsellors head to class, April 30. This is another example of the misplaced priorities of Gordon Campbell’s Liberal government. Billions were found for the Olympics and various associated projects, yet the government cannot find $12 million to prevent the reduction of services to Surrey students. This $12 million is a fraction of a per cent of the districts budget. What is the inflation rate these days? Even in the “boom” times of the Liberal’s first two terms in office, education was underfunded, so don’t believe their promises that funding will be restored in better economic times. As a retired teacher-librarian, I have seen the steady erosion in the funding and the staffing of school libraries in B.C. over the years.
Now, Surrey school district is being forced to cut the equivalent of eight more teacher-librarian positions. In a district like Surrey, with the high number of children of immigrant families, this is particularly distressing, as it means an erosion of the literacy services provided by trained teacher-librarians. The loss of these teacher-librarian positions affects not only English-as-a-second-language students, but all students. Study after study has shown that students in schools with qualified teacher-librarians and a well-stocked library do better than students in schools without these services. Where are the voices of Surrey’s Liberal MLAs? They were elected to be our representatives, not to be silent rubber stamps of a misguided government. Daryl Sturdy, White Rock

Teacher’s lessons go on from page A1 And she has left no small mark at Laronde, where she taught choir and directed the school’s muchanticipated spring musicals. “She’s the most musical, organized, creative person, while still being able to have fun,” says Harrison Pope, an ex-student of Bennett’s who played Jafar in last year’s production of Aladdin. “She has impacted everyone at Laronde. It’s very difficult to see... how she’s doing now.” Bennett was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) in February 2009, about six months after symptoms began. At the time, the thought she could have a terminal illness never entered her mind. Given her years of playing piano, carpal tunnel syndrome seemed the logical explanation. ALS is a far-from-kind disease, one that quickly – progressively – destroys the body while leaving its victim’s mind unscathed. It attacks motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the muscles. The muscles eventually die, robbing patients of the ability to walk, talk, even breathe. A year ago, Bennett was still running at Centennial Park with her friend and colleague, Amanda Myring. These days, Bennett uses a walker to get around at home, can’t use her hands and has difficulty speaking clearly and swallowing. Most ALS sufferers live three to five years after diagnosis; some live only three to six months. In rare cases – like that of physicist Stephen Hawking – life, though progressively challenging, continues for decades. Bennett, the mother to two teenage boys, is determined to beat the odds. “Not gonna beat me,” she beams, noting her mom has survived 40 years with multiple sclerosis. Bennett is also determined to make the ALS journey easier for others. A concert to celebrate Bennett was held April 27 at Laronde. It raised $8,400 for the ALS Society of B.C. to benefit research and patient support. Living with ALS, as it progresses,
is not cheap. A simple brace that offers wrist support costs about $55; a digitized voice machine that speaks when sufferers can no longer speak for themselves is about $10,000. The ALS Society loans equipment free-of-charge but, given the cost, has only a limited supply. Bennett is fortunate in that her family can afford what can’t be borrowed, but she knows there are those with fewer resources. In addition to raising funds, last week’s concert featured performances by 32 current and former students, including Bennett’s oldest son, Scott. True to her rule to never play favourites, Bennett won’t comment on what the best part was. If her students were to hear she thinks one was better than another, they’d be devastated, Bennett notes, choosing to answer more diplomatically. “Every performance, I had a tear,” she says, glancing over at Scott, who played original music with his band. “Sometimes, I had to look down.” In a letter read to the audience by 14-year-old Pope, Bennett said the outpouring of support has been overwhelming. Flowers, cards, meals and offers of expertise are among the deliveries to her South Surrey home. “I feel fortunate to live in a place that has allowed me to feel that I am not facing these challenges alone,” she said in the prepared statement. Myring said her friend’s experience, and how she chooses to face it, has changed her own outlook on life. “It makes you really value your relationships with people,” Myring says. “Living with someone who is terminally ill, you look at death differently. People feel sorry because she’s dying, but there’s no guarantee the rest of us are going to outlive her. “You just have to be thankful for what you have today…” For Bennett, that includes sharing her passion for piano. She began giving Myring lessons in March. True to form, Bennett encourages Myring every note of the way. “You can play,” she tells Myring. “I like it.”

Special Bread for Special People
MLA reinstated just hours earlier
Heed resigns post – again
At Fieldstone Artisan Breads, we believe that special things deserve special attention.
Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – VancouverFraserview MLA Kash Heed has “stepped aside” again, just hours after being reinstated as Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General by Premier Gordon Campbell. Heed said Wednesday morning he reconsidered overnight after the special prosecutor investigating his local election campaign suddenly withdrew from the case. Vancouver lawyer Terrence Robertson cleared Heed of any involvement in Election Act violations on Monday, then disclosed Tuesday that his law firm had donated to the VancouverFraserview B.C. Liberal campaign last spring. Belatedly acknowledging that as a conflict of interest, Robertson withdrew from the prosecution of Heed’s campaign manager and financial agent and a third man in connection with an anti-NDP pamphlet that violated Election Act laws. Calling the prosecutor’s actions “bizarre,” Heed said he spoke to Campbell Wednesday morning to tell him he was stepping down again. Reached by phone Wednesday from his trade visit to Belgium, Campbell said he acted appropriately based on the decision on

Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed announces his second resignation Wednesday morning. charges received from the special prosecutor on Monday. “After giving it 24 hours – we had the report, we read the report – I felt there had been time for anyone who had any concerns in criminal justice [branch] or the attorney general or anywhere to raise those issues,” Campbell said. “None were raised and I felt that it was appropriate to reappoint.” Heed was sworn in by Lieutenant Governor Stephen Point on Tuesday evening, but after get-
ting home to Vancouver he said he discussed the matter with his wife and reconsidered. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth called the latest twist “extremely disturbing.” “Right from when the allegations broke, we’ve seen denial by Mr. Heed that his campaign would be involved,” Farnworth said. “We’ve seen no acknowledgment by the premier of the seriousness of these allegations, we’ve seen no remorse whatsoever.”

Pesticide bylaw passed Surrey council passed a bylaw Monday banning the cosmetic use of chemical pesticides. Except in extremely rare cases, chemicals used to control pests will be restricted in Surrey on both private and publicly owned land. It’s been a long battle for the Surrey and White Rock Pesticide-free Coalition, which began lobbying Surrey for such a bylaw three years ago. Several other groups joined force, putting significant pressure on Surrey to act. The bylaw provides exemptions for situations where Surrey doesn’t have the regulatory authority. The exemptions include: agri-
culture and forestry operations; controlling noxious needs (as defined under the Weed Act); controlling pests in or on buildings, structures and hard landscaping; managing outbreaks of introduced invasive exotic or foreign pests; managing pests that threaten sensitive ecosystems; purifying water used for human or animal consumption; and responding to human or animal health issues. Coalition members say they are thrilled with having the bylaw finally pass. Melodie Tomiyama, co-chair of the coalition’s research and education team, expressed gratitude about the move. “We’re pleased that Surrey’s

He is adamant that he doesn’t need a new one. Is he right? Nope. When he re-married his old will became void. He therefore has no will.

children will be able to play on pesticide-free lawns and gardens,” said Tomiyama. Natasha Raey, of the Canadian Cancer Society, was also supportive of the move. “There are alternatives to pesticides used on lawns, home gardens, parks and playing fields,” Raey said. “Why would we take a risk with the health of our children and families?” Raey also noted that the provincial government is considering province-wide action. “We encourage the public to visit www.cancer.ca/bc/advocate to send an email to their MLA, urging strong cosmetic pesticide legislation.” – Kevin Diakiw

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Celebrating 100 years of faith and family Hannah Sutherland

Staff Reporter
irst United Church is the backdrop for many of Gordon and Muriel Kring’s fondest memories, from the weddings of all three of their children to congregation picnics and camping trips. The couple has been active in the church since marrying and building their White Rock home in the ’60s, and have seen their kids and seven grandchildren baptized by its ministers. Having had a hand in First United activities ever since – they served on the board of stewards, church council and Christian education committee – it’s no surprise the ❝It’s sad to see Krings are the enrolment participating in its 100th go down, and anniversary yet we don’t celebrations. The dwell on that Krings have because the contributed to church family is a Memories still there.❞ Booklet made up of Muriel Kring submissions by church members, will help plant 100 trees on the Peninsula and plan to attend Homecoming Service this Sunday for all past and present members. The milestone anniversary is especially meaningful to the Krings, as their familial ties to the church predate even their own involvement. Gordon’s parents, Grace and Sam Kring, joined First United in 1952, when it was located on Fir Street, prior to its current Semiahmoo Avenue location. Gordon still remembers the congregation celebrating the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Canada at Redwood Park, and his 94-year-old mother – the oldest person at the event – being invited to cut the cake. The Krings continued the tradition of attending services with their own children, who performed in the choir, musicals and pageants. “They’ve been in the church since they were babies,” said

Gordon and Muriel Kring will join other members of White Rock’s First United Church in celebrating the church’s 100th anniversary. Muriel, who taught Sunday school while they were growing up. Muriel recalled how church members would regularly gather for potlucks, which tended to end with mountains of dishes to be washed by hand. “It always seemed, somehow, we were always doing dishes,” she said, smiling. Muriel said church members
are a family, and not only support one another – such as when they offered to cater at her daughter’s wedding – but also give back to the community at large. The Krings have volunteered at weekly seniors hot lunches, the youth outreach program, the Social Justice Film Festival and church participation in the Relay for Life, among other initiatives.
“Wherever you need us, we’re willing to help,” Gordon said. “The more you put into life, the more you get out of it,” Muriel added. As longtime members of First United, the Krings have also witnessed its changes, such as the dissolution of potluck dinners. “There used to be more of that sort of thing.” Gordon said.
Centenarian celebrations First United Church’s 100th anniversary is being recognized in a number of ways, including a Homecoming Service May 9 at the church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., featuring the chancel and youth choirs, and followed by a finger-food potluck and cake. The congregation is invited to wear an outfit or hat reflecting one of the decades of the church. Other celebration plans include the planting of 100 trees on the Peninsula; the planting of a three-graft apple tree (representing the union of
the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches to form the United Church of Canada in 1925) in May; the distribution of 100 gift baskets throughout the year; a compilation of church members’ recollections in a Memories Booklet; a fall fashion show featuring outfits from the various decades; and two banners, designed and stitched by Anne Pettersson, and now hanging on either side of the church chancel. – Hannah Sutherland
“People’s lifestyles are different. There used to be more community events.” Muriel also noted a change in membership numbers, and recalled the church being so packed at one time, the family needed to arrive 45 minutes early for services, and extra chairs had to be set up along the side of the chapel. “It’s sad to see the enrolment go down, and yet we don’t dwell on that because the church family is still there,” she said. While some changes have been difficult to get used to – such as the introduction of audio-visual equipment in the chapel – other advancements have been more than welcome. “One thing we adjusted very well to was the new... dishwasher,” Muriel laughed.

Makeup artist JoAnn Fowler does a cosmetic demonstration on Gina Caughlan for students at Semiahmoo Secondary last Wednesday.
Applying awareness Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
When JoAnn Fowler learned chemicals used in cosmetics have been linked to adverse health effects, such as cancer, birth defects and organ damage, she was shocked. In her 25-year career as a TV and film makeup artist, she had been putting such substances on her clients’ bodies. It wasn’t until four years ago, when an actress she was working with asked to wear paraben-free makeup, that Fowler starting researching. She learned how parabens – chemicals used as preservatives in cosmetics – have been said to cause reproductive abnormalities, increased risk of breast cancer and damage to the nervous and immune systems, among other complications. Fowler read on about other agents, such as phthalate – which holds colour and scents in cosmetics and has been linked to disruptions in hormonal systems – and dimethicone – which is used to make makeup feel smoother, and has been connected to organ tumours.
“The information I found out... really depressed me, and I didn’t feel like I could be a makeup artist anymore,” she said, noting she was unsuccessful in finding an effective natural alternative. “I couldn’t find any makeup that would stand up to the demands of a Hollywood actress.” So she made her own. Fowler joined forces with a lab, where scientists helped her develop products – including eyeshadow and liner, lipstick and gloss, blush, foundation and concealer – free of synthetic chemicals. “They came up with the preservative formula, I came up with the colourations,” she said. Fowler tried out prototypes on her actor clients – “I always say test on movie stars, not on animals” – before launching the line on the Internet in the winter of 2008, then in stores in spring 2009. Sappho Cosmetics are preserved with organic essential oils instead of parabens, have eco-friendly packaging and don’t use products from China. “We’re really hoping to keep see page A14

Education is key from page A13 lessening our footprint as we go along.” Fowler’s venture caught the attention of five Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 11 students, who are competing in national entrepreneurial challenge Impact Microcredit for a chance to win thousands of dollars in scholarships. The group received a $100-microloan through competition organizer Impact Entrepreneurship Group, with the task of turning it into as much money as possible in 10 days. “We (had) to come up with something that reaches out to our community,” Tiffany Chiu said. When the group decided to promote chemical-free makeup, they started researching, and learned about Fowler. “(We thought) maybe she could provide some products and education to young women at the same time.” Fowler said she was brought to tears when the students asked her to present at their school. “It’s my journey to try to educate people... and learn about what these chemicals are and what they do, and have some awareness about what you’re putting in your body,” she said. The Vancouverite made the trip to South Surrey last week,
standing before a group of mostly young girls in the high school’s library during lunch time. She discussed the effects of chemical makeup, before demonstrating a makeover on a volunteer and testing girls for the right foundation colour. Chiu and her fellow group members collected orders for the products, which Fowler provided at cost. All the profits the Semi group collects will go to charity, Chiu said. “We’re hoping to raise a few hundred dollars.” Fowler – who, up to this point, had been raising awareness amongst her colleagues and clients – said the school appearance is a significant step in reaching out to youth, who are a large demographic of makeup users. She plans to continue spreading the word about harmful ingredients in cosmetics, and eventually expand her line to include other goods frequented by chemicals, such as body lotions and bath products. “It’s quite serious – it’s not just another green fad,” she said. “I’m just trying to do what I can do and am just trying to educate people.” It’s her new career.

South Surrey resident gearing up for Underwear Affair fundraiser
Chasing down a cancer cure Staff Reporter
Christine Algard thought her mom was young when, at 30 years old, she was diagnosed with myeloma. So, when cancerous cells were found on the cervix of one of Algard’s best friends, she was even more taken aback – Sara Zanotto was just 22, the same age as Algard. “You realize you’re not free from it; it can affect anyone,” she said. “It totally opened my eyes to it.” Four years after Zanotto’s abnormal cells were spotted and subsequently removed with surgery, Algard is now gearing up for this summer’s Underwear Affair in a show of support for her friend, who – thanks in part to early detection – is healthy and cancerfree, like Algard’s mother. The annual event encourages the public to participate in a 10-kilometre run or five-km walk to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation while spreading awareness about cancers below the belt, such as prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical and uterine. Algard, a South Surrey resident, has joined team G Spots

November. Some of us finished just under an hour.” While she has participated in other charity events, Algard said none have been on as large a scale as the Underwear Affair. “I’ve never done anything this big.” But before G Spots in Polka Dots can lace up their runners for the race, they have to raise funds. As of this week, they had reached 37 per cent of their $3,100 collection goal, and made the list of Underwear Affair’s top 10 fundraising teams. Faced with a cost of $300 each to participate, the team will now host a Polka Dot Party May 15 from 3 to 11 p.m. at 18177 Ford Rd., in Pitt Meadows. Algard said they will serve hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit and veggies, and host a toonie toss, tractor rides and bake sale upon donation to their campaign. There will also be a prize for best polka dot costume, as well as a raffle draw. RSVP by May 7 to polkadotparty2010@hotmail.com To donate to G Spots in Polka Dots, visit va10.uncoverthecure.org

No quenching world’s thirst I ’m sorry, but my final note on my series of columns on water is rather pessimistic. From this fortunate region, it’s not easy to grasp the extent of the world’s water problems. But one should Roy Strang “think locally, act globally.” More than one billion people live where water is scarce now and, slowly but steadily, the situation is deteriorating. What can, or should, we do? Awareness is the first step. There are several reasons. To simple population increase is added the effects of increasing affluence, with consequent greater demands – think Brazil, China and India - and of concentration in cities with difficulties in providing potable water and sanitation. Historic lack of investment and inadequate management are other factors which show up in polluted waterways, diminishing stream flow and depleted aquifers. Also, while there’s no certainty about the impact of climate change, the omens are not goo: altered and reduced rainfall in regions already dry, such as southwestern states in the U.S. and the Mediterranean basin; and lessened flow of meltwater from glaciers, with the serious consequence of reduced food production as well as less accessibility for domestic and industrial uses. What can be done? Desalination can alleviate local shortages but it is both energyintensive and expensive. And though technology is improving, it produces a only small fraction of global consumption, less than 0.01 per cent. Better use of available supplies

A woman and some children haul water on their heads in Malawi. sounds like an obvious response, and it has merit but it’s hard to imagine that a woman who has walked many hot kilometres to fetch water for her family will be profligate in its use. Improved irrigation techniques can be introduced through demonstration and support programs implemented at the local level. Provision of wells or boreholes has been seen to bring with it the real danger of overgrazing in the immediate vicinity as domestic animal herds congregate around water sources. The engineering ‘solution’ must therefore be coupled with an effective grazing management scheme, sometimes socially and culturally difficult, if it is to work. We should recognize that by importing foods, we are also importing water- it’s now labelled ‘virtual water’ – quite often from dry regions. For example, it requires about 140 litres of water to produce one cup of coffee, and the embedded water in soybeans is 2,700 cubic metres for each ton. For one ton of beef it’s an astonishing 13,500 cubic metres; pork and poultry are better at about 4,000 cubic metres/ton.
Energy production, too, needs water: renewable sources have very modest requirements while nuclear and oil use less than five cubic metres to generate a megawatt hour of power; hydropower’s need approaches 70 cubic metres for the same power; the real culprit is biofuel with a demand of 178 cubic metres – and that says nothing about lost food production which will have to be made up elsewhere. We are much better off than many – perhaps most – other people. In fact, Canada could be said to have water to spare. That raises the question, which I’ve asked before, of how we’ll react when we are asked to share our surplus. How much, if any, under what conditions dare we export; what commitments will we accept, under what regulations? Federally and provincially, there should be frank, unbiased and open discussion to reach an acceptable decision. At the same time, we should think carefully about how we can best help other regions. The “I’m alright, Jack,” attitude just won’t do. Dr. Roy Strang writes weekly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

Local clown wins gold in balloon making Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter
eather Crawford had no idea what to expect when she entered the Clown Olympics at last month’s World Clown Association Convention. And that’s a scary prospect when you’re dealing with someone with an imagination far bigger than the metallic-purple eyelashes her character Korki the Clown is known for. So when she walked away with a gold medal after competing against clowns around the world in the talent closest to her clown heart – Advanced Balloon – it’s no surprise the smile therapist is beaming just a little bigger these days. “It’s my year,” Crawford said. “Everything is falling into suit.” Crawford travelled to Winnipeg for the April 18-23 convention, where she joined nearly 200 clowns from as far away as Japan, India and Puerto Rico for workshops, camaraderie, constructive criticism and competition. While there, Crawford also became certified as a Caring Clown, through a workshop led by Richard Snowberg, who is considered the Patch Adams of clowns. For her medal-winning event, Crawford had one hour to bring four balloon recipes to life. With

my element.” Later, she slept with her gold medal. Crawford, who is now Western Canada director for the clown association, described the win as
the highest accolade she could receive for her art. She donned her first red nose 26 years ago, and began honing her balloon-twisting soon after. There’s just something magical about it, she explained of her passion for twisting. “It makes me happy. Whether it’s an adult’s or a child’s imagination... we can create together. It allows us to just be in the moment.” The trick is knowing how much to inflate each balloon, she said, as every twist uses a half-inch. Crawford is determined to keep the art alive. She is planning a four-day workshop locally for next year; does “balloon jamming” at Small Rituals Coffeehouse twice a month; and is a strong supporter of nurturing clowning in children, “so we’ll have never-ending smiles.” Those who spot Korki around town these days may notice the auguste (flesh-faced) clown has had a bit of a makeover – something else she brought home as a result of advice from her colleagues at the convention. But while the white muzzle around her mouth and chin is gone – along with her red nose – she promises Korki is still Korki. “The heart is still in the right place, the face has just changed a little bit.”

Provincial fossil sought for B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – What is the dogwood of dinosaurs? B.C. paleontologists have suggested designating a provincial fossil symbol to help people appreciate the rich geological record that is still being discovered. The provincial government has embraced the idea and is seeking suggestions for B.C.’s official fossil, to join the dogwood, the Stellar’s jay and the Kermode bear. Suggestions are being invited until July 2 at the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. B.C. has thousands of fossil sites, many of which have had little or no exploration, said Richard Hebda, a paleobotanist and curator of Earth history at the Royal B.C. Museum. An exhibit of B.C. fossil finds and their implications for species and climate change is to open at the Victoria museum at the end of June. Fossil fans will also be asked for their input on a new management framework to determine how fossils are collected and used, how discoveries are reported, who is responsible for the protection of sites and artifacts, and whether they can be exported. One of B.C.’s most significant fossil finds is the Burgess Shale

She was choreographing the musical-theatre class – she’s also an amazing dancer. And we’ve both performed with Lache Cercel (Vancouver-based violinist and leader of the Roma Swing Ensemble).” Bollard is also looking forward to the contribution of Isaak – which promises to be typically powerful – to the proceedings. “Brandon is going to bring a whole different dimension to this. He’s a tremendous showman and a fantastic musician, and Brandon and Jesse have also worked together before – it’s going to be a

arts & entertainment Performing arts troupe present Vaudeville and a Movie
Curtains open for rodeo Jennifer Lang Black Press
A Cloverdale-based performing arts troupe and the historic Clova Cinema are teaming up for something a little different for this year’s rodeo. They’re calling it Vaudeville and a Movie. For three days during Surrey’s biggest annual event, the Versatiles will perform daily variety shows at the landmark 176 Street cinema, along with a presentation of a family-friendly movie matinee, May 22, 23, and 24. “We’re hoping to fill the theatre for the three afternoons,” says Susie Francis, the enthusiastic director of The Versatiles, a Cloverdale-based group that’s been performing together for about 3½ years now. The Versatiles put on about 18 shows last year at seniors homes and residences in Surrey and Langley, plus two birthday parties. “People love what we do,” Francis says. “Vaudeville isn’t dead. The humour, the music, it’s all still alive.” Francis founded the Versatiles in 2005. She’s spent her life in the theatre, and clearly loves the vaudeville tradition, which encompasses singing, dancing, comedy and – in the case of Vaudeville and a Movie – includes

The Versatiles will perform daily during the Cloverdale Rodeo. dog and horse acts, the latter supplied by her two teenaged grandsons, who have willingly volunteered their talents. The group’s full-time members are all seniors. Not all of them have a performing arts background. “In general, it’s people that always wanted to perform,” Francis says. Members include Norma Cowley, an 85-year-old stunt woman in B.C.’s TV and film industry, and Doug Armstrong, an 88-year-old musician. New members are welcome. Experience in the performing
arts isn’t necessary, she says, but a willing to ham it up is. “I just ask them pertinent questions, like are you crazy?” jokes Francis. “If they sing and dance, great.” The performers rehearse Mondays from noon to 2 p.m. at the Cloverdale Legion. If you want to try out, drop by. There’s no fee to join. “You just have to commit to being there.” Admission to Vaudeville and a Movie will be $5. Shows will start at 1:30 p.m. during the 2010 Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition, May 22, 23, and 24. Proceeds go to charity.

Symphony showcase The Surrey Symphony Society’s junior and chamber ensembles – and the 65-strong Surrey Youth Orchestra – will be showcased in the organization’s annual spring awards concert, Saturday (May 8) at 7 p.m. at Surrey Alliance Church, 13474 96 Ave. The orchestra, under the baton of conductor Lucille Lewis, will be featured in Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture, Tchaikovsky’s Syphony No. 2 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnole. Also on the program will be the Junior Strings, directed by Rick Dorfer, and the Intermediate Strings, directed by Carla Birston. Tickets ($15, $8 students, $35 family) can be purchased at the door. For more information, call 604572-9225 or visit www. surreyyouthorchestra. org
‘It’s going to be a fun night’ from page A23 of course. And the upcoming concert is sure to win her new fans, just as last year’s show did. While she’s chronically resistant to finalizing her playlist, expect her warm approach to bring life to some jazz and Broadway evergreens. The Billie Holiday classic God Bless The Child was a strong contender tomorrow’s concert at the time she chatted with the Peace Arch News. It’s been covered a lot of times, Bollard said, but not always by people who know that the song started life as the result of a conflict Holiday had with her mother – something Bollard is beginning to relate to, as the mother of a 13-year-old. “I always like to look up the history of tunes – I don’t like to perform a tune I don’t understand,” she said. “And what God Bless The Child is really saying is those who have been given gifts and use them shall receive in abundance.”

Proud Canadians and their $500 car set for 24 Hours of LeMons in California
‘Crazy idea’ turns to reality for racers Nick Greenizan
A
Sports Reporter
s a baker, Paul Hanley is used to baking with lemons, not necessarily driving them. However, that’s the challenge he and four friends will be faced with this weekend, when the quintet take turns strapping into their 1989 Volkswagen Fox at the 24 Hours of LeMons – a parody of the famous LeMans race. This race – dubbed ‘Going for Broken’ and ‘Nasty, brutish, not short enough’ on the official website – pits barely road-worthy cars – worth no more than $500 – against each other at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, Calif. for 12 hours of racing Saturday, and another 12 hours Sunday. The team that completes the most laps wins. “It’s pretty ridiculous – none of us have any experience, we just thought it’d be fun,” said Hanley of his team which includes fellow entrepreneurs Rob Edworthy, Jerry Strutinski, Tim Hickey and Nick Diomis. “It’s kind of a crazy idea, but it’s just every guy’s dream to be able to drive a race car.” The idea to enter the race – in which team members alternate driving one-hour shifts – was cooked up by Edworthy, who saw clips of LeMons races on YouTube, and proposed the idea to his pals. “Rob came to me with this goofy idea and I agreed, and then I saw the video and thought, ‘Oh my, what have I got myself into? I just had twins; what about my wife?” laughed Hanley, who turns 40 on race weekend – the same number emblazoned on the door of the spruced-up Volkswagen. “It sounded like a fun thing to do, not knowing how crazy and dangerous it might be… but I gave my word.” Soon after entering the race and buying the car – which cost a whopping $300 – the team discovered that, of the 112 registered entries, they were the only Canadians. As such, they decided to go all-out in representing their country – cultural stereotypes be damned.

Four of the five Flying Lumberjacks – Tim Hickey, Rob Edworthy, Paul Hanley and Gerry Strutinski – show off their 1989 Volkswagen Fox. The five racers dubbed themselves the Flying Lumberjacks – complete with matching uniforms – and two friends, local politicians Bob Bose and Murray Weisenberger, built a large axe, which they attached to the roof of the car. Additionally, the team plans to play street hockey at the track, and cook up 20 pounds of back bacon – donated by White Rock’s Penguin Meats – to hand out to fellow racers trackside. “The whole thing just kept getting goofier and goofier the more we thought about it,” Hanley said. “It’s all just a spoof.” The team spent another $200
to make the car race-worthy, and also got plenty of free help from friends at Langley Volkswagen, Hanley said. The process took about six months, with team members working on the project “whenever we had a few spare minutes.” Then, for good measure, they covered the car in Mactac adhesive to add to the theme. “It looks hilarious... just ridiculous,” Hanley said. “But we’re proud Canadians, so we just went with it.” The team’s happy-go-lucky attitude should fit in well at Thunderhill Raceway. Race organizers themselves don’t take
things too seriously. After all, the winning team receives a $1,500 grand prize – paid in nickels – and a $500 People’s Choice Award is awarded to a team after “totally unscientific, and almost certainly totally unfair, pit-side opinion and chit-chat.” Race rules also state that any team caught “driving like idiots” will be forced to pull their car into pit lane, remove all its tires and sit for half and hour. “And if you’re a real idiot, they’ll crush your car into a cube onsite,” Hanley noted. It’s those driving regulations – as tongue-in-cheek as they may be – that convinced Hanley’s group
they wouldn’t be over their heads as amateur drivers. In fact, none of the five are even big race fans. They’re just local friends and business people – Hanley owns Fieldstone Artisan Breads, Strutinski runs Willchris Kennels and Diomis works in the film industry – who decided to do “something crazy.” “There will probably be a lot of wacky NASCAR-loving Americans down there, so some drivers might be (aggressive), but we’re just down there to have a good time,” Hanley said. “I don’t think we’ll win, but I just want to come home in one piece and not have to eat through a straw.”
Track team prepares to host World Athletics Day Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
For the fourth year in a row, Ocean Athletics track and field club will host World Athletics Day at South Surrey Athletic Park, inviting hundreds of the area’s top young athletes to the Peninsula for a one-day event. More than 300 high schoolaged athletes – most from Lower Mainland clubs, but also from Vancouver Island and Washington – will take part in the track showcase Wednesday, May 12,
from 1-7 p.m. This year’s meet will feature a plethora of events – “a full slate,” said Ocean Athletics’ Gabrielle Walkow – including the 100, 200, 400 and 800-metre runs and both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. A pair of showcase events, the mile run and 100-m invitational, will be staged later in the day. Last year, the boys’ mile run, won by Elgin Park’s Luc Bruchet capped off the event. Bruchet, now at UBC, was eight
seconds faster than White Rock Christian Academy’s Carl Johnston. This year, both a boys’ and girls’ mile will be staged. In addition to action on the track, plenty will be going on in the infield, too. High jump, long jump and triple jump are all on the schedule, as is the discus. New this year are two events, the hammer throw and pole vault. More than 100 countries take
part in World Athletics Day, which aims to promote health, active living and the importance of athletics to young people. Ocean Athletics first hosted event in 2007, and in 2008 they held an unofficial World Athletics Day meet, but were not the official host. Before athletes convene at SSAP for World Athletics Day, they’ll head north to Surrey’s Bear Creek Park today (Friday) for Surrey High School Track and Field Championships.

Storm win own tournament Southridge Storm’s Grade 8 boys rugby team were not the most gracious of hosts last Friday, when the school hosted its first-ever seven-a-side rugby tournament. Southridge’s sevens team, one of four ‘A’ squads to play in Storm Division along with other ‘A’ sides from Semiahmoo, Elgin Park and Earl Marriott, defeated EMS 22-0 in the championship tilt, with tries from Tim Ste-
phens, Sam Kim, Nico Docolas and Nick Collett. Offensive heroics aside, the key to the win, according to Southridge Grade 8 coach Chris Collett, was an aggressive defence, led by Evan Zanatta, Brian Redies and Aaron Basi. Another key player, scrumhalf Bryan Froh, was injured for the final but played well during the roundrobin games, Collett added. The four schools also fielded
four teams in a ‘B’ Hurricane Division, which was won by Earl Marriott after a 24-5 victory over the Semiahmoo Totems. Mariner tries were scored by Liam Fordy and James Pavlich, while scrumhalf Peter Kos added a pair of conversions. Isaac Maslin, Riley Ford and Dragan Dejc also played well for EMS. In total, more than 70 Peninsula rugby players from local schools took part in the one-day event.

Ocean Beach Lounge White Rock Jr. Tritons’ runner Spencer Dolphin just beats the throw to Coquitlam first baseman Josh Fregin Sunday, during White Rock’s 5-0 win.
HOME OF THE CHEAPEST DRAFT!
back to win 5-0 against Redleg pitcher Jeff Heidema, one of the top hurlers in the league. In the first game, White Rock opened up an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, but couldn’t hold the lead for long – the game was tied 3-3 by the third – before Coquitlam tacked on runs in the fifth and seventh frames to complete the comeback. Infielder Evan Douglas had all three RBI for White Rock, knocking in two with a single and another on a sacrifice fly. In the nightcap, White Rock’s patient approach at the plate led to seven walks from Heidema, and the Tritons managed four hits in the fifth inning to extend their lead. Adam Shumka was on the hill for White Rock, pitching a complete game while allowing just two hits and striking out seven. Offensively, Buis had a double – his fourth of the season – and Jackson Temple had an RBI triple. The Tritons are back in action for two games Saturday, at South Surrey Athletic Park against the Victoria Jr. Mariners. The U19 White Rock Tritons are also back on the field this weekend with two games Saturday in Langley against the Blaze, and two more Sunday in Victoria, against the first-year Victoria Eagles. - Nick Greenizan

White Rock Jr. Tritons’ bats ran hot and cold last weekend, finishing a busy two days with an even 2-2 record in B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League action. On Saturday on the road against the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays, the Tritons lost 4-2 despite a great performance from starting pitcher Byron Keterakis – his second start of the season – in which he lasted four-and-onethird innings, giving up just a single run. With Keterakis out, the Blue Jays got to the Tritons’ bullpen, scoring three times, and White Rock’s bats couldn’t muster enough offence to keep pace over the final three innings. Game 2, however, was another story altogether, as the Tritons’ hitters came alive in a 14-3 win, which ended early on account of the mercyrule. Shaylen Buis hit his first home run of the season and also added a double to lead the charge, while Alex Webb also went 2-for-4 at the dish. In total, White Rock had 12 hits, six of which went for extra bases. Buis starred on the mound, too, pitching a complete game – the second time this year he’s lasted the entire contest. On Sunday, the Jr. Tritons split a pair of tilts with the Coquitlam Redlegs, losing the first 6-3 before bouncing

In a recent article by the Academy of General Dentistry, it reported that 9.2 million denture replacements were done every year. More and more of those replacements involved the use of dental implants to support the dentures. Twenty-six years ago, when I first graduated from dental school, dental implants did not exist in the clinical practice. Many dentists considered it as experimental treatment. Today, with the

What a Difference a Quarter of a Century Makes very high success rates, dental implant treatment has become a standard of care in the treatment of edentulism ( lacking teeth). The common method of stabilizing a denture in the early 80’s involved a twostaged approach which meant that the implants were first placed and buried under the gum tissues for a period of four to five months. A second surgery was done to expose the implants and the implants were then brought into function. In the 90’s, I pioneered the concept of putting dental implants into immediate function in British Columbia. This technique allowed us to shorten the treatment time while eliminating the second surgery. The result was a more comfortable experience for our patients, as well as a quicker and better result. Now the bar has risen once again. While the techniques employed in the 80’s and 90’s involved using dental implants to support a removable denture prosthesis, the state of the art technique today allows us to provide completely fixed teeth that can be accomplished in literally one hour of chair-side

time. This treatment option became available due to a convergence of the following technologies: 1. Cone beam volumetric tomography, also know as CT Scan. 2. Bone substitutes, which eliminated the need for bone grafts taken from the hip. 3. Computer software, which allowed us to design and manufacture the components necessary to increase the speed, accuracy and safety of the implant placement. 4. New implant components designed specifically for these types of procedures. 5. Stronger and more attractive dental materials. With so many options available, it is hard to know which is the right treatment. Our in-house CT scanner, however, will provide us an instantaneous 3D image for discussions and diagnosis. Patients will no longer be required to travel afar to receive this service. I can’t wait to see what the next twenty-five years will bring.

EASTON, Walter John of South Surrey, B.C. died peacefully on May 3, 2010 in the Peace Arch Hospital after a long struggle with COPD. Born in 1931 on a ranch in Saskatchewan, Wally loved to tell stories about his Prairie roots. Walt was well-respected for his life-long work with the Department of Indian Affairs; his job took him from Haida Gwaii to Ottawa and many places in between over the course of his lifetime. Pre-deceased by first wife, Mae (Bourdage). Survived by his loving wife, Jacquie, son Tom, sister, Margaret Hunt (Moose Jaw), six stepchildren and 7 grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held at Sunnyside United Church, 15634-24th Ave, Surrey, BC, on Friday, May 7th at 1:00 p.m. The family would like to thank the caring staff (especially Sue, Dr. Lowe and Dr. King) at the Peace Arch Hospice. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Peace Arch Hospice. Walter was a wonderful man with a great sense of humour. He will live on in our hearts.

Small Changes to your Bedroom can be Key to Better Sleep and Better Health There’s no disputing that humans need sleep. But in the last 40 years, the amount of sleep we get has decreased to the point where our health and well-being has been impaired. The consequences of our poor sleep habits range from poor moods, decreased productivity, drowsy driving and heart conditions. Many people can improve the quantity and quality of their sleep by making some simple changes to their bedrooms. The idea is to create an environment that is conducive to sleep – cool, calm and dark. COOL: The best sleep environments are cool. Use window treatments to control the temperature in your rooms. Some treatments have higher R-factors, which means they provide more insulation than window treatments with lower R-factors. Cellular shades are excellent insulators. CALM: The bedroom should be used for rest and relaxation – a sanctuary. So eliminate all those things that disturb your calm. Eliminate clutter, vacuum and clean regularly to remove dust and other allergens that can disturb your sleep. Use drapery panels or cellular shades to soften harsh visual edges and dampen sound.
DARK: Light disrupts sleep. Some light sources you can control like lamps, clocks and televisions. Other light sources, like street lamps, moonlight or outdoor lighting, you can only control access. Using window coverings to block light can help you get a good night’s sleep. If you’re in the market for new blinds, routless louvers eliminate the tiny holes traditional blinds have.

Concrete Borders add a Decorative Touch to your Yard By Lorraine Sood - CURB-EASE If you would like the convenience of reduced edging, and would like to complement your garden with a little colour, consider the dramatic difference that adding a decorative border would make to frame the features in your yard. Stamped and coloured continuous concrete borders enhance landscaping and frame gardens, flowerbeds, patios and walkways. Unlike other common forms of edging, a continuous concrete border offers a more attractive alternative to wood, brick and plastic edging and will not rot, tip or move. Maintenance free and practical, concrete borders maintain their original appearance for many years and are one of the quickest and most cost effective ways to add value and prestige to your home. The first step is to determine exactly where
the borders will be located, with the help of a consultant from the curbing company. When outlining flowerbeds, remember that soft, gradual curves are the most pleasing to the eye and are also the most practical to allow the mower to move along the border. A sod cutter then trims out a clean strip to receive the curbs, which are then extruded, finished with a trowel, and hand stamped. Sealer completes the job providing a final barrier of protection. A wide range of colours, profiles and stamp patterns are now available so the borders can be designed to suit your home and individual taste, pulling everything together for a custom look. Aside from being attractive, affordable, and durable, concrete edging saves time and money replacing lost mulch and topsoil as well as maintaining the lines of the garden.
