Heartbreak found in Japan’s radiation evacuation zone

Pet saviour looks for hope amid fallout Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Chizue Lister visits nuclear area every day.

In her first phone call home to White Rock after arriving in the evacuation zone around Japan’s damaged nuclear power plant last week, Chizue Lister cried for 20 minutes. She told her husband, Kelly, of the emaciated, dying animals she was finding during her attempt to aid abandoned pets in the area. “Some of the dairy cows, the condition of

them… it’s horrible,” Kelly told Peace Arch News Tuesday. “They’re starving.” Chizue, 39, returned to her home country last Friday for a 10-day mission to feed and rescue animals who were left behind after their owners within a 20-kilometre radius from the Fukushima facility were evacuated due to radiation concerns. Earlier this week, Japan raised the severity rating of its nuclear situation to the maximum seven – the same level of the 1986

Chernobyl disaster. Chizue told PAN before leaving that she planned to stay at her parents’ home in Niigata – which is 200 km from the plant – and use her father’s car to drive to the exclusion zone daily. Wearing painter’s coveralls, a mask and gloves, Chizue said she would leave food for deserted pets and attempt to catch those that could be driven to shelters. see page A4

Tenants of a Maple Street group home for developmentally disabled adults had to find another place to stay Monday night after a fire broke out in one of the home’s bedrooms. Damage was largely limited to the one room, but as the home’s residents watched firefighters pull a blackened mattress, box-spring and bed frame out, it was clear they recognized the blaze could have been worse.

“This saved my life,” said James Winter, pulling out the cross he wears on a chain around his neck. “This right here.” Winter has lived at the house for 25 years. One of five men who call the house home, Winter said the tenant whose room ignited happened to be at a medical appointment when the blaze broke out. Firefighters were called to the 1268 Maple St. split-level house just before 3 p.m. April 11, after one of the residents spotted smoke com-

ing from under a bedroom door. The man, who didn’t want to be named, said he was sitting on the arm of a couch when he noticed the room get “a little bit warm.” “Then I seen smoke coming underneath the door, top of the door. Black smoke,” the 64-year-old said, noting he has lived at the home for 35 years. “I yelled up to my landlord, ‘there’s a fire down here!” see page A4

One man is in custody and police are on the hunt for two others after a daylight home invasion on White Rock’s Marine Drive. The March 29 incident took place around noon at a home-based business in the 15500-block. The incident was not made public until this week “to protect the integrity of the investigation,” Sgt. Roland Pierschke told Peace Arch News Monday. According to Pierschke, a woman called 911 to report that three men had entered the house, bound her, ransacked the place and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. As the men left, the woman – who was not injured – was able to free herself and call for help, Pierschke said. Two officers on foot patrol nearby arrested one suspect; two others fled in a vehicle. “They were still trying to make good their getaway when we were there,” Pierschke said. Juan Garcia-Sepulveda, 25, remains in custody and faces “numerous” charges in connection with the incident. Police are still looking for two other suspects. One is described as Latin American, the other as Caucasian. – Tracy Holmes

Growth at heart of Watt’s state of the city address

Mayor’s goal is to redefine Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mayor Dianne Watts told a crowd this week that Surrey is being transformed from a suburban area into a metropolitan core. Watts gave her sixth annual state of the city address to a crowd at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel. At Peace Arch News press time Tuesday, she touted the city’s many successes since she was elected in 2005 and introduced several key initiatives – including the Whistleblower Policy, the newly revised Respectful Workplace Policy, the Lobbyist Registry and the streamlining of several civic processes. She highlighted the Sustainability Charter, the Homelessness and Housing Fund and the Child and Youth Friendly City Strategy. Watts also released the first update on her Crime Reduction Strategy, which was first unveiled in February 2007. The update showed several areas where the CRS is working, including successes in preventing and deterring crime, apprehending and prosecuting offenders, rehabilitation and reducing unwarranted fear of crime. All of this leads to how the city can plan for its breakneck growth, while creating a major metropolitan core, Watts said. “Our strength is our people,” she added, noting that by 2050, Surrey will be home to more than 850,000 people. From now until that time, 70 per cent of the growth in this region will

White Rock plans tax drop Taxpayers in White Rock will pay lower-than-expected property taxes this year, if amendments to the city’s financial plan bylaw are adopted Monday. In a special meeting held April 11, council gave first, second and third readings to updated figures presented by the city’s director of financial services. If adopted April 18, the changes will amount to the average homeowner paying $93 less in property taxes in 2011; for strata owners, the savings will be about $40, Sandra Kurylo said. The difference is the result of additional revenues, including a largerthan-anticipated Small Communities grant, Kurylo explained. In drafting the financial plan, it was anticipated the provincial grant would amount to about $130,000. Staff just received word it will in fact be $142,000, Kurylo said. The amendments would mean a drop in the property tax rate from 3.91 per cent to 3.77 per cent. Such a reduction is not uncommon when amendments are made before a financial plan’s final adoption, Kurylo said. “It happens,” she told Peace Arch News. “It’s good news.”

Some of the volunteers have been given specific locations to search by evacuees eager to reunite with their pets. “The owners or the people that live in the area, a lot of the time they’re contacting this group and they would give them their address.” Chizue – who told PAN last week that she planned to travel within five kilometres of the plant – was spotted by workers at the nuclear facility, who gave her better protective gear, Kelly said. And while she is aware of the recently heightened radiation level, she doesn’t plan on leaving early. “She’s staying, but she’s not being stupid,” Kelly said, noting she is being checked for radiation at screening stations. “She’s not

No one – including three Yorkies – was injured in the fire, however, Crane’s mother was assessed at the scene by paramedics.

editorial

Run hard or get out of the way he clock is ticking, and voters in three ridings served by the Peace Arch News face a plethora of choices for the coming May 2 federal election. At last count, Fleetwood-Port Kells voters had four candidates, Newton-North Delta had six and South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale had a whopping nine. Now that the Elections Canada deadline for filing as a candidate has passed, it ought to be a fast and furious campaign with less than three weeks left to go. Yet, come election day, voters could be forgiven if, once again, the familiar names rank high in the polls. After all, the question must be asked – who are these other contenders? And what issues are they prepared to raise, in a matter of days remaining, to steal the spotlight and earn their Xs on the ballot? We must count ourselves mystified by those candidates in the past who seemed to feel that – to connect in a meaningful way with voters – its simply enough to purchase a bundle of signs and leaflets with their name prominent and photo to the fore. Some even seemed to be under the delusion that anonymity and inaccessibility is the best route to success. Campaigning is a tough, costly and timeconsuming business of making friends and allies, and, ultimately getting oneself known as somebody worthy of a vote. Some current candidates started the process weeks – even months – before the ballot was dropped. It could be argued that at least one incumbent has been in constant campaign mode ever since he came to office. This is not the time to sit back with arms crossed, waiting for signs and campaign literature to take effect. The electorate needs and deserves candidates who are willing to identify and address real issues facing people trying to make ends meet, support families and enhance opportunities in our present economy. Opponent-bashing, by itself, will not be enough. Candidates should seize the initiative and convince us that they are ready and willing to make a difference. What are the candidates’ expectations of their own performance – and of their leaders, for those running in packs? Or are they simply running, with no thought of winning, placing or, even, showing. While odds may be stacked against some, all candidates should be willing and ready to run the race to their fullest ability – or step aside for those who are. Otherwise they are wasting their time – and yours.

to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases expected to total 50 per cent by 2016. Coleman quickly determined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy. Instead, he focused on an expensive seismic upgrade, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley. A major upgrade to the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River will likely go ahead, since the reservoir is also the city of Campbell River’s water supply, but Coleman wants BC Hydro to “restate its business case” for that and other big construction projects. The Ruskin project is budgeted at about $800 million and is the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt. Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dam instead. Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me. “It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.” Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June. That will give the government enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

Unwelcome behaviour Editor: I had recent occasion to visit a medical laboratory in Ocean Park operated by Fraser Health. As I stood in the reception area, studiously ignored by the receptionist who was the only other person present, I looked around the room to try to discover whether I was supposed to take a seat, take a number or boldly ring a bell to announce my presence. I quickly noticed a sign, prominently displayed, which announced, “Violence, foul language and abusive behaviours are not acceptable”. On further investigation, I noticed two more signs carrying the same ominous warning. I timidly approached the reception desk, occupied the adjacent seat and nervously waited for my identity and reason for the visit to be noted. The absence of any eye contact ensured I would not be drawn into any superfluous conversation that might lead to my transgressing the aforementioned warning. After being duly processed and released from the facility, I began to wonder whether there had been an outbreak of bad behaviour in Ocean Park that had necessitated the warning signs. I checked out the offices of my local doctor and dentist – no signs there. None at the hairdresser, newsagent, coffee shop or grocery store either. Apparently the problem is very localized. What is it about medical laboratories that induces anti-social behaviour that other businesses are not subjected to? Could it possibly be that those other businesses do not enjoy a government monopoly for the supply of their particular service and thereby understand that “customers” are to be welcomed, not warned off? John McLeod, Surrey

Wireless meter needs attention Editor: Re: Province going Gaga over smart meters, March 16 column. Do ‘smart meters’ pose a health hazard? People who are sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic radiation have the freedom to limit cellphone use or choose a wired computer connection, but smart meters take away the choice to manage radiation exposure even in our own home. Thousands of people in Canada and the U.S. have reported symptoms from smart meters, ranging from headaches and insomnia to heart palpitations and seizures. Dozens of local governments in the U.S. have taken the evidence of health problems seriously enough to demand a halt to smart-meter installation. Do smart meters pose a health hazard for everyone? It’s a valid question and there is certainly enough research to indicate caution

until we have the answer. One thing is certain: smart meters are making some people sick, and that should be of concern to everyone. A. Churchill, Surrey

Bigger benefits of wage war An open letter to Surrey council. Re: City of Surrey examines fairwage policy, April 1. On behalf of the Surrey, White Rock and Langley chapter of the Council of Canadians, I’d like to applaud you for your approval to explore the idea of a fair-wage policy for all Surrey contracts. Statistics Canada has placed the poverty line for a single person living in a major city in 2007 at $21,666 before tax. That works out to about $10.80 per hour. I don’t think contractors to Surrey municipality should be paying wages that are at or even close to the poverty line. A living wage should be $18.81 an

hour in Vancouver (“Working for a Living Wage”, Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives). We live in the age of the working poor, where too many are working full time and do not earn enough money for the basics to raise their families. People working full time should not be forced to rely on food banks. Other governments have already adopted a fair-wage policy: federal, Province of Ontario, Burnaby, New Westminster, and five Ontario municipalities, including Toronto. Our chapter looks forward to the fair-wage policy implementation in Surrey. Phil Harrison, Surrey Q Re: Minimum wage increase overdue, March 25 editorial. I agree with your editorial that the minimum wage has been much too low. As a matter of fact, I think the increases are not nearly enough. Since the last that the minimum wage was increased, the cost of living has at least doubled and, of course, housing has even tripled. So the minimum wage should not

be increased by only a couple of dollars, but doubled. Let’s move it to $20 – a nice round figure and still less than $40,000 per year. This will greatly increase spending for our economy. Also students working at part-time jobs will make enough money so that they will be able to pay for their education and not have to borrow the money from their parents or the government. The days of students graduating with a monstrous student loan to pay back will be gone. And the training wage was a travesty. Why should you pay kids who are still in high school a lower wage than others? They deserve to make money. In future, the minimum wage should be set by union leaders such as the those in the teachers union or the BC Federation of Labour. These people specialize in wages and have always had the poor in mind when advocating higher wages. And for those in industry saying the increases I propose are going to put people out of work; they always say that and it never happens. John Bootsma, White Rock

A proposed development on Marine Drive attracted dozens of people to a public-information meeting last week.

Think about the big picture here Editor: Re: Frustration builds over six-storey plan, April 8. I believe this is another chapter in an ongoing story about pro-development versus the NIMBYs and the near-mythical Official Community Plan. White Rock is a lovely seaside town which has had an attraction for many Canadians from elsewhere, including me. It is not completely unique but comparatively rare. I think politicians, citizens, business owners should have a long thought as to what they want the beach and hillside areas particularly to look like in three, five and 10 years. Do the current bylaws and OCP fit that vision? If they do, the path is clear; if not, clarity in the big-picture vision must be sought. The major problem with beach businesses, as far as I can discern, is that when the weather is bad, there are not enough customers, and when the weather is good, there is not enough parking. Are these problems resolvable? I expect so, but I think White Rock needs to see where it is headed and get that bus moving, rather than making piecemeal spot-zoning changes, for six-storey buildings, one at a time. Bob Holden, White Rock

Work within our boundaries Why is it that this same issue keeps rearing its ugly head over and over again, which is a waste of everyone’s

time and money? Do we not currently have bylaws in place to cap height restrictions on the waterfront? Do we not have bylaws in place to cap height restrictions in uptown White Rock, which took months to put in place? If so, why are these developers constantly challenging our height restrictions rather than working within their boundaries? Naturally, developers and realtors want more development in place because it fills up their pocketbooks. But the fact remains that White Rock is a small town resort, and the citizens of White Rock have spoken loud and clear that they want to keep it that way. So why keep trying to change it? If you do not like it here, simply move on. I mean, can you imagine the traffic congestion in White Rock if development were to increase significantly in uptown or downtown or both? I, for one, do not want to live in a concrete jungle, and certainly do not want to breath in heavy car pollution, as I get enough of that while working in Vancouver, and am ever so grateful when I can finally make it home to White Rock, where the air is fresh and the serenity unbeatable in our over-populated world.

Guilty plea anticipated Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A former Surrey School District administrator and his wife are expected to plead guilty to theft and fraud charges early next month. Robert (Bob) Chadwick and his wife Barbara Chadwick (nee Moore) were criminally charged last summer in connection with alleged schemes in which the pair diverted thousands of district dollars into their own bank accounts. Both were charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000. Robert was also charged with breach of trust by a public officer.

According to court services, the couple intends to plead guilty to all charges during a court appearance scheduled for May 4. Bob Chadwick was an associate superintendent with the district, while Barbara was his administrative assistant. The two resigned abruptly in October 2006, with the district unable to reveal why due to confidentiality rules. In 2009, however, the school district launched a civil suit against them, accusing them of large-scale fraud involving thousands of dollars. That suit was settled out of court in March.

Damin claimed he had no thoughts of harming his wife and denied feeling angry when he went to sleep.

In earlier testimony, a forensic pathologist said Catroppa had been stabbed 126 times. Damin told the psychiatrist that after the first few strikes, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what happened. The next memory he had was turning the knife on himself. After a couple of stabs to the neck and abdomen, he said to Joshi, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go through with killing himself and called 911, telling the operator he had killed his wife and tried to kill himself. Damin then called neighbours and told them the same thing, he said, and then lay down on the carpet in his home to wait for emergency personnel to arrive. Joshi said when she questioned him, Damin denied repeatedly that murdering his wife was something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been thinking about for some time, but rather, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stated it was a thought that happened in the moment.â&#x20AC;?

n Japanese folklore, sets of 1,000 origami cranes called senbadzuru are said to grant a wish to the owner. White Rock hairdresser Colin Gill was given his senbadzuru by a client 15 years ago to help him recover from an illness, and in the wake of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, he’s hoping his cranes still have some healing power left. Gill is selling off his origami cranes this month at Hair Eclipse, 1563 George St., and donating all proceeds to the Red Cross Japan relief fund. “They are supposed to bring long life or recovery from illness or injury,” said Gill. “After this disaster in Japan I just thought this would be a great way to help with the

For Vanessa Heywood, it’s the smell she will miss the most. The comforting aroma of fresh-from-the-oven baking – lemon loaves, in particular – never failed to greet her upon approaching Hillcrest Bakery, which she has owned and managed with husband Mike for more than two decades. “It’s always the smell.” And while the scent will still be permeating from the shop next month, two key ingredients will be missing.

Sixth annual Nite of Hope rakes in more than $300,000

Gala raises record amount Laughter, tears and – above all else – hope filled Centennial Arena Thursday evening, as a fundraising gala brought in a record amount of money for the fight against breast cancer. The sixth annual Nite of Hope raked in more than $300,000 to fund research efforts at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The total from this year well exceeded the final tally of the 2010 Nite of Hope, which raised $202,177. This year’s gala – themed Image of Hope – featured keynote

speaker Dr. Ian Gardiner, director of advanced breast imaging at Canada Diagnostic Centres, whose speech was infused with optimism. “We are on the verge of defeating breast cancer. We have this disease on the run,” he told the sold-out crowd of more than 550 people. “That’s occurring because of the work people like you are doing in participating in events like this. We are going to see the end of breast cancer, I’m convinced, before the end of my career.”

After Gardiner’s address, dozens of cancer survivors were invited on stage – some with beaming smiles and others wiping away tears – as singer Angela Maffin performed an uplifting song, accompanied by Loverboy’s Doug Johnson. The event, MCed by Global meteorologist Kristi Gordon, also included a silent and live auction, several raffles and giveaways and performances by the Source Dance Team, 12-year-old Cole Armour and Kierah Raymond of Irish Madness.

Members of local churches – including (left to right) Sheila Jakus, Evelyn Krawchuk, Father Jim Krawchuk, Liv Butow, Doug Eyjolfson and Jean Andrew – will be getting together to read from the bible.

Churches come together Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

People of all faiths will soon join together at St. John’s Presbyterian Church for a multi-denominational event called Proclamation. The event, sponsored by the Canadian Bible Society, runs April 27 until May 7 and will see various community members read aloud passages from the Bible. The goal is to read it through completely – although not necessarily in order – over the 10-day span. “What it’s all about is bringing people together. It’s a huge non-denominational event,” said Mereda Preece, a member of

DANCE TONIGHT! Take a Dance Vacation for some Hot-Fun!

White Rock Fellowship Baptist Church, and one of the event’s many organizers. “It doesn’t matter the religion, doesn’t matter if you’re Baptist and believe in baptism, or Presbyterian and believe in pre-destination. Every religion has their own little changes to the Bible, but this is about celebrating common ground.” Those who sign up to read a passage – which are portioned out in five-minute increments – are also encouraged to bring their own Bibles, should they so choose, and can read aloud in any language they wish. Already, members of Semiah-

moo First Nation have agreed to attend and read a passage from theirs, Preece said. The event has been staged in other cities since the mid-’90s, but never before on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. It is open to the public; reaching out to the public is, in fact, one of the main objections of Proclamation, Preece said. “People come in off the street and are often very touched by God’s word,” she said. Daily readings will go from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m., with plenty of breaks. The event will end May 7 with a Festival of Praise – a fun, wrap-up that will include snacks, refreshments and music.

Earl Marriott to host annual grad fundraiser April 19

Seniors get ready to hit catwalk for fashion show Lee Dorner Black Press

Grade 12 students of Earl Marriott Secondary will be channeling their inner Cindy Crawfords, Gisele Bundchens and – perhaps for the guys – their Derek Zoolanders, for the EMS Grad Fashion Show April 19. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, which opens at 6:30 p.m. The show gets underway at 7. The event is a fundraiser for EMS Dry Grad. This year’s edition of the annual show is themed “Back in the Day,” and features grads showing off the apparel of 15 clothing retailers – mostly from the Semiahmoo Peninsula – as they strut their stuff down the runway to the tune of 18 songs that were hits between their birth year of 1993 and their grad year of 2011. “We have songs from 1993, then it skips to 1998 and then every year up to our grad year, and it’s pretty much the main song of each year that was chosen,” said

Louise McKnight

Bay Realty Ltd.

Jenna Warne, one of the students who’s helping organize the event. The songs – selected via a Facebook vote by the grad class – were all Billboard Top 100 songs the year they were released. The 122 student models will be split into 18 groups, with each group stepping and sashaying to music representing a particular year in their lives, from ‘N Sync, The Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls early in the show, all the way up to Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. “Grads weren’t forced to do it – it’s just anyone who wanted to, and there’s not very many guys. It’s mostly girls,” said Warne, as she watched some of the few brave male models in her grad class get fitted last week for the Moore’s suits they will be showing off. Other students have taken on supportive roles, MCing and coordinating the lights and music. Local stores featured in the show include Mela Boutique, JJ

& Whiskey, Warren Boutique and Peninsula Runners. The students recently started running rehearsals every lunch hour at school, and some of the organizers like Warne, or Hailey Daggitt, who was in charge of ticket sales and co-ordinating the music for each group, have been working hard on the show since February. The night’s fun isn’t limited to fashion. “We have some really great raffle prizes and silent auction stuff,” said Warne. “We have a Greece vacation getaway and a signed Canucks jersey. I don’t think they did anything like that last year.” The jersey is signed by the Sedin twins and Roberto Luongo. A weekend for two at the Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver will also be auctioned off. All prizes were donated by parents of the grad class. Tickets are on sale at EMS – 15751 16 Avenue – in the commons area at lunch.

Support grows for grandmas Support of African grandmothers raising children orphaned by HIV/AIDS is continuing to grow in White Rock and Surrey. The first local group to join the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign – an initiative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation – has doubled its membership since forming three years ago. The Oneness Gogos, started by South Surrey resident Mary Harris, has grown from 25 to 49 members, and has raised more than $82,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation through crafts, fundraisers and personal donations. The funds support grassroots projects run by grandmothers, or Gogos, in Sub-Saharan Africa, such as communal gardens and jewelry making that enable them to provide for their grandchildren and send them to school. Recently two other groups have formed in Surrey – the Ubuntu Ogogos in Fleetwood/North Surrey, and the South Surrey Soul Sisters. All three groups have upcoming events: The Oneness Gogos will host a Spin the Wheel event at PriceSmart in Semiahmoo Shopping Centre all day April 9, before appearing at Surrey’s Simon Fraser University Campus May 6 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Ubuntu Ogogos will be at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary that same time May 6. On May 14, the Oneness Gogos will hold an all-day plant sale at 13565 Woodcrest Dr., and the South Surrey Soul Sisters will host a barn and garage sale May 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2652 164 St.

Club of South Surrey, the Ocean Park Community Association and Ocean Park Neighbours, a group of locals dedicated to creating a fun, safe and connected community.

Volunteers lauded Efforts to make the communities of Surrey, Delta and White Rock safer are being recognized this week by ICBC. The thank you, extended to nearly 500 volunteers who work in 11 community policing offices and police detachments to deliver road safety programs, marks National Volunteer Week (April 10-16). “The extraordinary dedication to road safety shown by these volunteers and

community policing offices is remarkable and truly appreciated,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC’s president and CEO. In 2010, Speed Watch volunteers in Surrey, Delta and White Rock contributed approximately 4,500 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes in their communities. That support has contributed to a steady decrease in such crashes logged province-wide over the past five years, a news release notes. Also last year, Lock Out Auto Crime volunteers in the three cities handed out about 44,000 notices to drivers; and Stolen Auto Recovery program volunteers scanned approximately 672,000 licence plates, to help identify stolen vehicles.

Crescent Park Elementary’s Lowell McLaughlin, Tyler Ratcliffe, Ken Gunstone and Wyatt Davis are collecting equipment to donate.

Spreading sport Four Crescent Park Elementary students kicked off a sporting-goods fundraiser at their school last week. The Grade 7s – members of leadership group Games and Athletics – are now collecting used sporting items such as cleats, soccer balls, shin pads and other equipment in good condition for shipment to El Salvador. The classmates launched the initiative April 6 at a school assembly that featured a presentation by Vancouver firefighter Brian Hutchinson of Engines for El Salvador, which ships decommissioned B.C. fire engines to the Central American country. Athletic equipment in good condition can be dropped off at the school, 2440 128 St., until June.

F-bomb button prompts complaints over free expression on transit

AND KEEP YOUR DRIVEWAY CLEAN!

moving to Surrey this month. “My fashion sense and what I wear is none of their business,” she said. “I’m a big girl – I’m 21 years old – and I can dress however the hell I want.” Wharf complained to the Office of the Police Complaint Commission (OPCC), which cleared the officer of wrongdoing. It ruled the officer had the power both to ban Wharf for 24 hours for fare evasion and to demand removal of the pin to comply with posted TransLink rules prohibiting “foul, insulting, abusive or inappropriate language.” Now the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) is lodging its own complaint against what it calls heavy-handed police censorship on the transit system. BCCLA president Robert

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Critics say Transit Police should patrol the transit system for crime not fashion, after a woman says she was barred from SkyTrain for wearing a button that bore the “F” word. Jean Wharf was ordered off the system Jan. 24 at Nanaimo station after refusing to remove the pin that read “F--- YOGA.” She was first ticketed by Transit Police for trying to board without paying. Wharf said she then paid the fare and tried again to board, only to be told she’d have to first remove the small button. She refused and was physically pulled from the train and ordered to leave. “You can’t treat people like crap,” said Wharf, who lives in Vancouver’s West End but is

Holmes wants Transit Police to clarify how their enforcement of TransLink policy meshes with rights to free expression. “Both the OPCC and TransLink ignored that the ‘language’ here was not shouted out, caused no disturbance and was merely on a button,” Holmes said. TransLink says a transit vehicle is a captive space that sets it apart from an open public area like a street or square. “It is reasonable to expect a higher level of respect and decorum, which is why there are rules against obnoxious or offensive behaviour and language,” spokesman Ken Hardie said. “We recognize that ‘obnoxious and offensive’ are subjective and that values shift over time,” he said. “But the intent of the rules is to meet

the expectations of reasonable people who just want the freedom to go about their daily activities without offending or being offended.” TransLink has used the same argument to reject all controversial advertising that might offend some riders and provoke confrontations aboard transit. But court rulings upholding free expression forced it to accept political ads, although it can still exclude other offensive advertising deemed out of step with community standards of taste. Transit Police spokesman Const. Jim Biring said farepaying passengers don’t attract officers’ attention unless they’re causing a disturbance, breaking the law or their attire somehow impedes the flow of other riders.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE Planning Ahead for Healthcare Decisions As part of our estate planning practice we frequently advise clients on planning ahead for incapacity – for both financial and healthcare decisions. One of the most common questions we receive with respect to healthcare planning is regarding the so-called “living will”. A living will (or advance directive) is a statement of wishes regarding how a person wishes to be medically treated should they no longer be able to provide consent themselves. Expressed wishes often include a desire to be cared for and die at home, or not to be kept alive by artificial means should there be no reasonable expectation of recovery. What many people fail to realize is that under existing British Columbia law, living wills are generally not legally binding on medical practitioners or family members – they are simply statements of wishes. The only way to legally authorize someone to speak on your behalf for health care and personal matters is to make a Representation Agreement. In the same way that a Power of Attorney allows you to give someone authority to deal with your financial affairs, a Representation Agreement allows you to give someone authority to make healthcare decisions on your behalf, should you ever become incapable of doing so yourself. The law says that your Representative must follow any wishes you have expressed while capable, which would include those expressed in a living will. We recommend that clients wishing to plan for incapacity ensure that they have: (1) a general enduring Power of Attorney for decision making for financial and legal affairs; and (2) a Representation Agreement for decision making in health care and personal care matters. When there is no plan for incapacity in place, you and your family must rely on provincially legislated regimes to fill the void. Having a plan allows you to control who will make decisions on your behalf, and provides peace of mind in knowing that your wishes will be followed and your family members will not be burdened with making such decisions themselves. It’s never too soon to start planning.

news Former NDP leadership candidate Nicholas Simons (second from left) dropped out of the running last week, leaving behind (from left) Dana Larsen, Adrian Dix, John Horgan and Mike Farnworth. Tom Fletcher photo

New Democrats to vote Tom Fletcher Black Press

As NDP members started voting in advance polls Monday, former Premier Mike Harcourt joined other elder statesmen of the B.C. party in declaring his choice for the next leader. Harcourt made a rare political appearance in Vancouver Monday morning to endorse Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are three major candidates running, all good people, any one of whom would make a fine premier,â&#x20AC;? Harcourt said in a statement released from his Pender Island home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, I believe that Mike Farnworth would give the BC NDP the best chance of winning the next election.â&#x20AC;? Leadership rival and Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan also added to his endorsement list Monday, as Vancouver-Hastings MLA Shane Simpson became the 10th current MLA supporting him. Simpson said he waited until late in the contest because he is the NDP caucus chair and he wanted to make sure the group was working together after the split that developed over former leader Carole James. Horgan shrugged off the Harcourt endorsement, saying he spoke to the former premier twice and

was told both times Harcourt was staying out of the contest. The endorsement of MLAs is more significant than the support of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been out of politics for 15 years,â&#x20AC;? Horgan said. On Thursday, Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons dropped out of the leadership race and endorsed Horgan. Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix has announced several union endorsements in recent days, including the president and western vicepresident of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen is also running for the leadership, which will be decided Sunday. The selection will be the first one-member, onevote selection of a leader in the BC NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. About 25,000 party members have the option of voting by phone or website this week, or waiting until a series of votes on Sunday. Unlike the vote to select BC Liberal leader Christy Clark, the NDP event allows for live rounds of voting. If advance votes on a preferential ballot donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determine a winner, the bottom candidate will be dropped from the ballot and members will vote again until a winner is declared Sunday evening.

The Beatles tribute band The Fab Fourever are set to take the stage at Coast Capital Playhouse April 24. Below, Crescent Beach-based painter Krista Eaton’s work is on display at Semiahmoo Arts’ gallery. and rumours of cover-ups and blackmail, the enduring myth was fueled by the notoriety of others on Hearst’s guest list that weekend, including his much younger mistress, movie star Marion Davies, legendary comic Charlie Chaplin, sensational novelist Elinor Glyn and Hearst columnist Louella Parsons. Playwright Steven Peros’ fictionalized account of the fateful cruise takes its starting point from some of the loudest whispers generated by the rumour mills presenting a convincing picture of hushed-up private lives, twisted motivations and suppressed passions in the midst of the Jazz Age. To bring the story to the stage, director Shelagh Shermann needs six men aged 35 to 62, and eight women from 24 to 60. Auditions are at the theatre, 1532 Johnston Rd. For more information, email Shermann at onesheermann@ hotmail.com or producer Lisa Pavilionis at lisapavilionis@ hotmail.com

The Fab Fourever Beatlemania is back in full force as the The Fab Fourever bring their tribute to the still influential ’60s pop music icons to the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., Sunday, April 24, 7:30 p.m. Whether you’re somebody who remembers the excitement of live shows in Britain, original Ed Sullivan Show appearances and scratchy 45 rpm singles, or have discovered the music latterly through CDs and, now, iTunes, the skilled performers of The Fab Fourever offer a convincing timetrip back to the the 1962 to 1970 era. Presented by Rock.It

Boy Entertainment, it’s an authentically-costumed and period instrument-equipped show that follows the evolution of The Beatles from cheeky mop-topped stardom, through psychedelia and diverse musical influences up to the increasingly sophisticated – but also increasingly fragmented – group of Abbey Road and Let It Be. Kevin Davey personifies the attitude and musicianship of John Lennon; Jody Tennant has the vocal range to recapture Paul McCartney’s appeal; Jean Luc voice, guitar and quietly playful demeanour evokes George Harrison, and Paul Kaszonyi is as much fun to watch as to hear as Ringo Starr. Tickets are $37.50 plus service charges from 604-536-7535 or www.whiterockplayers.ca

Ladies of the Camellias What happens when the two pre-eminant divas of the stage in the 1890s – Sarah Berhardt and Eleanor Duse – are both to perform Lady of the Camellias, by Alexandre Dumas, in Paris, the same week and in the same theatre? That’s the premise of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s farcical historical comedy Ladies of the Camellias, next presentation of the White Rock Players Club, in a production directed by Paul Kloegman (who helmed last season’s Humble Boy). The club’s entry in this year’s TheatreBC Vancouver Zone festival plays until April 23 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. with Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m., plus a 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee on April 17. The production reunites

Lori Tych (as Duse) and Jason Dedrick (as actor GustaveHyppolite Worms), both of whom most recently starred in the thriller Earth and Sky in February at the Coast Capital Playhouse. Nancy Ebert plays Bernhardt, who has – for reasons best known to herself – extended the invitation to Duse to perform her touring version of the Lady of the Camellias, temporarily without venue, at the divine Sarah’s own theatre, even though she is herself portraying the role there. Like Worms, actor Flavio Ando (Ryan Johnston) is also caught up in the ensuing battle of the divas, which is complicated – but not interrupted – by the arrival of a Russian anarchist, Ivan (Stephen Benjamin Fowler). The latter decides to take the two hostage and blow up the theatre if demands for freeing his

A new show of paintings – Krista Eaton: Found In Nature – runs until April 29 at Semiahmoo Arts’ gallery, 90 1959 152 St (Windsor Square). “In this show I hope to portray my love for colour and expression of the joy found in nature; the beauty of flowers, or landscape, or in a bowl of fruit,” Eaton said. A graduate of the Emily Carr School of Art and Design, Eaton began her professional career in 2003, and – although she has worked with a wide range of media – now paints exclusively in acrylics. The Crescent Beach-based painter is a member of the Canadian Federation of Artists and the White Rock and South Surrey Art Society. She has had more than 20 onewoman shows at different Lower Mainland venues, including the West Vancouver Public Library, and has sold to collectors in Canada, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Belgium and Taiwan.

Susan McCaslin will read from her latest book of poetry next month.

Demeter Goes Skydiving Semiahmoo Arts has announced another coup: award-winning poet, educator, and scholar Susan McCaslin (Lifting The Stone) will read from her latest volume of poetry, Demeter Goes Skydiving at the ongoing literary series Readings By The Salish Sea, Wednesday, May 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pelican Rouge, Central Plaza. In the new book, McCaslin revisits the Demeter-Persephone myth of Ancient Greece and finds within it a profound motherdaughter trauma which she reclothes with unapologetic modernity. In this sequence of poems Hades steals away the maiden Persephone into a not-unfamiliar culture full of distorted body images, addiction, high anxiety and rampant consumerism. McCaslin’s lyrics have been described as “by turns profound, hilarious and devastating” as Demeter – an enduring symbol of motherly love – searches for her daughter in a spiritual winter wasteland of health clubs, paparazzi and so-called reality shows. Admission to the reading is free. For more information, visit www. semiahmooarts.com, or call 604-536-8333.

Kickboxer left home in Iran to expand career in Canada

Beyond borders Lee Dorner Black Press

Sabeti’s home country of Iran is ninthlast out of all countries on the Henley Visa Restriction Index, which ranks countries based on citizens’ freedom to travel internationally.

sports White Rock squad sweeps a pair of one-run games in double header

Bayside ends season with a loss

Tritons off to good start with wins Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Sweeping a pair of one-run games on opening day, the White Rock Tritons have proven themselves as much-improved over last season. The B.C. Premier Baseball League team edged the Vancouver Cannons 3-2 in the first game of a double header Saturday afternoon at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Stadium in New Westminster, then completed the sweep with a 4-3 victory in the second. The Tritons finished dead last in the 13-team under-18 elite league, winning just one of 44 games. But new head coach Russ Smithson insisted the team had put last season behind them, and was â&#x20AC;&#x153;excited about this season, big time.â&#x20AC;? A three-run fifth inning lifted White Rock to the win in the first game, erasing a 2-0 Cannons lead. Josh Sigurdson led an eight-hit Triton attack with a pair of hits, including a double. He also stole three bases. Josh Larson was the winning pitcher, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and a pair of walks over six innings. Nathan Trueblood pitched the seventh inning, coming into the game with the tying run at first base. The 16-year-old from Blaine, Wash. struck out two of the three

Tritons batters rapped out 10 hits in game two, scoring once in the top of the first inning and holding the lead for the rest of the contest.

games against the Victoria Mariners, but had their double header rained out. They will play four games at home against the Okanagan Athletics this weekend, hosting the Kelowna-based club for two games at South Surrey Athletic Park Saturday at 1 p.m., and again for another pair of games Sunday at 11 a.m.

The Bayside Sharks closed out their Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League rugby season with a 46-17 loss to the UBC Old Boys Ravens Saturday at Jericho Park in Vancouver. The loss left Bayside seventh in the eight-team league with a 2-5 won-lost record, one point out of the final playoff position. Peter Clifford kept Bayside in the game in the first half, answering three Old Boys tries with three penalty kicks, leaving the South Surrey side trailing 17-9 at the break. The Ravens added another five tries and a pair of converts in the second half. The Sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone try came from Zach Thorpe, with Clifford adding the convert, a score which cut the Old Boys lead to 24-16 in the 54th minute. Bayside also lost a First Division game Saturday at Jericho Park to the Old Boys Ravens, falling 24-12 to finish the season in sixth place. They will play on the road against the Castaway Wanderers in the first playoff round. Baysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Division side easily defeated Ridge Meadows 88-5 to finish in fourth place. -Rick Kupchuk

Erhart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell that he put a lot of work in (and) he came into training camp with a lot of confidence.â&#x20AC;? It also helps to have great chemistry with his primary linemate, Richard Vanderhoek, a fellow Langley Minor Hockey alum. Vanderhoek, a year younger, and McGowan would be teammates every second season through their minor hockey days, and created instant offence when united. Vanderhoek was second on the Eagles with 26 goals and 45 assists, and despite being eliminated from the playoffs, Vanderhoek leads the post-season scoring race with a dozen goals in 16 games. With McGowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior days behind him, he readies for the next challenge: collegiate hockey. Earlier this season, he verbally committed to the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers. And he knows he will be staring over once again, trying to work his way into a top six role with the New York-based university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is always like that in hockey, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always start as a top guy, you have to work your way up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is better that way, you have to earn your way and it creates more character when you have to work for it rather than have it given to you.â&#x20AC;? McGowan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruling out playing for a living either, if an opportunity arises down the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If pro hockey is there, I would love to play for a living but getting my degree will be a big thing too.â&#x20AC;? -with files from Nick Greenizan

hen it comes to conditions caused by harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, skin cancer is a top concern for many. However, it’s important to note that the eyes are delicate organs which are also very susceptible to sun damage, according to Rita Herman of Sight for Sore Eyes Optical in White Rock. “The general population is not fully aware of what UV ray exposure can do to our skin and our eyes,” she says. “We know to apply sunscreen to our skin, but few of us realize that our eyes can get burned much like a sunburn to our skin.” While UV rays can warm up the planet and promote life, when absorbed by the eyes, they can create ailments or contribute to existing conditions, Rita notes. “Increased unprotected exposure can put you at risk of developing cataracts and macular

hroughout the long winter months, it’s easy to sometimes let our health take a back seat. And by the time spring rolls around, we can feel a little worse for the wear. New Year’s resolutions have long been forgotten, diet and exercise habits have fallen into a bit of a rut, and the past few months have been spent battling a nasty cold and flu season. Now that we’re well into spring, it’s time to consider giving your body a much-needed tune up. It’s a great way to transition into a healthier, more active lifestyle for the coming summer months, and can potentially catch any health problems that might be minor now, but could become worse if gone unchecked. There’s no shortage of tests and checkups throughout the year that even healthy individuals should be taking part in regularly. Mammograms and prostate exams to detect

Regular eye exams can detect potential problems at the early stages, for eyesight and for overall health. the early signs of cancer, cholesterol and blood pressure tests to ensure our systems are wellbalanced, and dental checkups to keep our smiles looking their best and our oral health in good shape. And even for people who have problem-free eyesight, regular eye exams are an essential component to overall health, according to Alec Efonoff of Precision Optical in White Rock. People between the

ages of 19 to 65 should get an eye exam every other year – regardless of whether or not they are having problems with their eyesight. For people who are under 19 or over 65, the frequency of exams should be increased to once per year. A typical eye exam includes a check up of the back of the eye, as well as a complete ocular checkup which can detect glaucoma and see page B5

Find relief from symptoms from page B4 macular degeneration, two eye diseases that Alec said are not only prevalent, but often symptom free in the early stages. “You can’t feel glaucoma,” Alec said. “Other than having the pressure of your eye checked, there’s no way to know if you’re suffering from glaucoma.” In addition to catching signs of glaucoma and macular degeneration – which can both cause vision loss if they go untreated – Alec said high blood pressure, diabetes and problems with depth perception can also be found during routine eye exams, which generally take about 30 minutes. Perhaps you’ve been feeling run down and can’t seem to get feeling back to normal. Changes in hormonal function – which can affect both women and men – can have an effect on our moods, ability to sleep well, memory, libido and energy levels. Hormone decline can also cause weight gain or decreased muscle mass. At Pure Centre for Healthy Aging, Dr. Jeff Rostvig offers a treatment known as Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, which replaces declining hormones that your body needs to function. Bio-Identical Hormones are exact duplicates of natural hormones found in the human body, and when combined with a lifestyle that includes good nutrition and regular fitness, can go a long way to helping those suffering from symptoms of changing hormones feel better again. Patients undergo a comprehensive review of symptoms, medical, family and personal history as

well as testing for hormone imbalances before a treatment plan is created, followed by ongoing evaluations. Though age is a factor when it comes to changing levels of hormones in the body, age does not discriminate when it comes to pain cause by soft tissue injury or chronic degenerative conditions. However, like the troublesome symptoms of hormone imbalance, there are specialists on the Peninsula who offer treatments to address the symptoms of such injuries or conditions. Dr. Rob Skleryk of Laser Health Solutions is one such specialist who treats patients of all ages and physical backgrounds with a treatment called Low Intensity Laser Therapy (also known as cold laser). This therapy works by using red and infrared wavelengths to stimulate the healing processes in soft tissues. Tissues that are damaged absorb the light energy, converting the energy into biochemical energy that the cells can use to help heal and repair. “Anyone with a soft tissue injury would benefit from this therapy,” Dr. Rob said, noting that he has treated patients suffering from disc bulges and herniatons, carpel tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, stress fractures and more. The treatment is also extremely safe, Dr. Rob said, noting that only about five per cent of patients experience an increase in pain sensitivity, it’s due to an increase of metabolic rate in the affected cells, and that the sensitivity only lasts about one to two days.

Battling bulges safely Surgery-free way to lose inches from trouble spots The days are getting longer and the weather is starting to warm up, which means just one thing – swimsuit season is just around the corner. But for many sunseekers – even those who maintain a healthy diet and exercise regime – short shorts and bikini tops can be a lessthan-appealing notion, especially when battling unwanted bulges. Pesky abdominal and back fat has long been a struggle to get rid of, which is why Caree Ludwar, owner of New Beauty Institute is so excited about her clinic’s latest addition. “This is phenomenal, absolutely amazing,” Caree says of Coolsculpting – an innovative, non-invasive procedure that is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after inchloss treatments in North America. Caree first learned of Coolsculpting while watching an episode of Dr. Oz last fall, and decided to give it a try. “I couldn’t seem to get rid of the fold underneath

New Beauty Institute’s newest treatment is Coolsculpting. my bra – it was exerciseresistant,” she explains. “I couldn’t believe it – it really worked. I had to replace all my bras because I went down a couple of sizes.” Developed and marketed by Zeltiq Aesthetics, Coolsculpting selectively targets localized fat deposits – abdominal fat, love handles, back fat, muffintops and “C-section bulge” above the scar – and reduces them by chilling them to just above freezing. It’s done gradually and without causing any harm to the surrounding tissues.

“Unlike liposuction, which can attain similar results, Coolsculpting is completely non-invasive so the patient can return to normal activities immediately,” says Caree, noting patients may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results appearing after two months. Coolsculpting is idea for men and women carrying an extra 10 to 15 pounds, and as long as patients maintain his or her diet and exercise regime following treatment, long-term results can be expected.

GRAND OPENING FRIDAY, APRIL 15! MVP Men’s Hair Salon is a success story born out of the desire to ﬁnd a good haircut at a reasonable price in a comfortable atmosphere for men. The company started in Calgary, AB in 2004 to accommodate men who want the same style of service most women enjoy in a ladies salon, but without the feminine atmosphere.

MVP Men’s Hair Salon markets to Urban and Suburban males who appreciate the extra level of service and all-star treatment without losing their man status. “We have often been described as a great cut, with great service in a Man’s Environment. It’s not your Father’s barber shop,” added Hilditch.

This is the MVP experience! MVP offers value added services for clients including Free Wireless Internet, Leather Club Chairs and Flat Screen LCD TV’s. “These are what initially attract our clients,” said Jodi Short, Franchise Partner of the newest MVP location located at #130, 15260 HWY #10, “but our great service and style keeps them coming back time and again.”

$5 OFF an MVP Hall of Fame Haircut

when presenting this card. Includes a Hot Face Towel, Shampoo & Condition, Scalp Massage, Haircut & Style. Reg Price $32.

MVP Men’s Hair Salon offers a variety of different services strategically geared to the needs of men. From their “Hall of Fame Haircut”, (by far their most popular service) to Grey Camouﬂage or an overall Colour change, MVP has the service that you need.

Battle spring allergies safely and effectively

t’s the time of year when the days start getting longer, the sun starts shining warmer and allergy sufferers wish they could fast-forward to summer. As the trees start to bloom, beautiful as they may be, the blooms release pollen into the air which makes its way into our airways, setting off a hailstorm of sneezing, itchy eyes and runny noses for those who are allergic to pollen. And it’s not just spring-blooming trees to blame, although the list of allergyoffending trees names close to two

dozen varieties. Grass and weeds also release pollen, and on the sunny, breezy days when most Peninsula residents are likely to be outside enjoying the balmy weather, pollen is usually at its worst. While many allergy sufferers turn to antihistamines to ease their aggravating symptoms, there are often harsh side effects to popping these pills at the first sign of a few extra sneezes. Dizziness, restlessness, nervousness, and upset stomach are among the most common see page B13

Phase 1: Non-Invasive Spinal System Non Invasive Spinal treatment involves the use of a specially designed table attached to an advanced biofeedback computer module.
