Vulnerable students treated like ‘secondclass citizens’

No jail for Surrey repeat violator who faked asbestos lab results

Workers exposed to silent killer

Surrey Board of Education demands $2-million grant

by Jeff Nagel ARTHUR MOORE sent teenagers as young as 14 to demolish

houses without any protection against the asbestos that lurked inside. The Surrey-based demolition contractor recruited at least 20 recovering addicts from the Lion Wellness Recovery House, who were required under their recovery program to seek work. He told those who worked for him to “run” if WorkSafeBC officers showed up at a job site. That’s just some of the evidence B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk heard before agreeing Moore poses a “significant public safety concern.” She cited his “targeted recruitment of vulnerable workers” without providing proper safety training or equipment in a judgment handed down April 11. “Numerous employees were repeatedly exposed to asbestos,” she ruled. Property owners who wanted an old house gone so they could redevelop would call Moore, who claimed to take samples from the building, get them analyzed and obtain a report certifying it was asbestos-free before tearing it down – all at a fraction of the cost of competitors. Don Whyte Except Moore had no qualifications as an inspector. He did not send samples to any lab. “The lab reports provided by Mr. Moore were forgeries on letterhead stolen from legitimate labs,” the ruling said. Moore had been written up and fined for repeated workplace violations. But Moore, described as a fringe operator with no assets to seize, ignored past orders and continued to flaunt safety regulations, according to the ruling.

VULNERABLE STUDENTS and their families are being treated like “secondclass citizens,” says Surrey’s Board of Education, which is asking for a onetime, $2-million grant to compensate for a flawed funding formula that has seen local kids shortchanged for more than a decade. In one of its most strongly worded statements of late, the local school board says that despite repeated assurances from the last five Liberal education ministers, the government has “refused to change” the CommunityLINK funding formula. Laurae CommunityLINK helps pay McNally for things such as meals for low income students, initiatives at innercity schools, counselling for at-risk youth, and community partnerships that run after-school programs. The Surrey School District is B.C.’s largest with more than 12 per cent of the province’s total public school See BOARD / Page 5

Teen charged in fatal crash appears in court Parents of Sanjeeve Sharma emotional at seeing accused by Sheila Reynolds SANJEEVE SHARMA’S parents couldn’t contain their emotions as the teen driver charged in connection with a fatal 2009 car crash that killed their son made his first appearance in court Wednesday. The accused, now 18 years old, wore baggy jeans and a patterned brown hoodie as he stood before the judge. He cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Tall, with a goatee, short hair and an earring in his left ear, the young man stared straight ahead as he stood briefly before a Surrey Provincial Court judge. Sanjay Sharma, Sanjeeve however, Sharma looked right at the accused and called him a “mother f---er,” while Sara Sharma wept openly, clutching a framed photo of her deceased son Sanjeeve. Sanjeeve Sharma, 15, died in June 2009 when the car he was in slammed into an SUV near 128 Street and 82 Avenue in Newton. Initial police reports indicated speed and alcohol were factors. The driver, who was 16 at the time of the alleged offence, is charged with dangerous driving causing death. See FAMILY page 8

Three years for Skura murder Time served means one teen released; another will serve 23 months by Kevin Diakiw

Matthew Skura

LAST WEEK, Syd Skura finally cashed in the birthday present he received from his son, two years after the 18-year-old was beaten to death in a church parking lot in Cloverdale. He had been holding on to a Golf Town gift card ever since. The store honoured the certificate last week, when Skura purchased a GPS range finder. The one condition his son had when he gave him the gift, Skura said, was that he buy some-

thing they both could use. On Wednesday, Syd Skura attended the sentencing hearing of two youth convicted in December 2010 of killing his son Matthew Skura on May 28, 2009. Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein sentenced the two teens to the maximum three years allowable for manslaughter under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Under the act, the youth cannot be identified publicly. The youth who sucker-punched Skura, knocking him to the ground, was given credit for 13 months served, so he will remain in custody for another 23 months. The youth who stomped on Skura after the punch has already been in jail for two years, and was released Wednesday. See SKURA / Page 8

enrolment, but on a per-student basis, only receives a fraction of the CommunityLINK funding for other districts. Vancouver, which is smaller than Surrey, receives about $8.7 million annually. Surrey gets about $3.7 million. This year, it’s estimated about $400,000 will have to be taken from Surrey’s general operating budget to supplement the school meal program alone. “We believe it is fair and reasonable to ask the provincial government to provide our district a one-time grant of $2 million to put families first and ensure our students will not have to bear the brunt of yet another year of CommunityLINK funding inequity,” says board chair Laurae McNally.

This time, WorkSafeBC wanted Moore jailed. A court injunction obtained last August indefinitely barred Moore, doing business as AM Environmental, from conducting asbestos removal, demolition or drywall removal, or providing related inspections, reports or testing. But Moore continued his house demolition business at least 15 more sites after the injunction was served on him, court was told. He provided an asbestos inspection report under the name Tri City Hazmat, for the removal of drywall at a home on Fuller Cres. in North Delta in September. In October, operating as Surrey Hazmat, he certified a Richmond house asbestos-free and safe for demolition. WorkSafeBC asked the judge to find Moore in criminal contempt of court for violating the

injunction, punishable by up to four months in jail. Moore didn’t show up to dispute either the 2010 injunction or the contempt of court hearing. Justice Watchuk ruled there was a “compelling case for incarceration” but rejected the contempt application, citing imprecise wording of the original injunction. The post-injunction violations brought before the court were under business names other than AM Environmental, she ruled, and it was not clear enough that WorkSafeBC intended the order to also apply to Moore personally. Moore has also operated under names including Effective Contracting, according to court records, and sometimes used aliases such as Art Miller and Robert Miller. It’s unclear exactly how many employees worked for Moore who may face the threat of asbestoscaused lung disease and cancer decades from now. A former partner esti-

Public Notice: Change to Emergency drop-off procedure at Surrey Memorial Hospital New entry through parkade Effective immediately, non-ambulance traffic headed to the Emergency entrance at Surrey Memorial will be directed into the nearby parkade almost immediately after turning off of 96 Avenue. The lower section of the parkade closest to the Emergency entrance will be designated for Emergency parking only. It will include a number of 15-minute drop-off spots, as well as other parking stalls available for longer periods. There will be a pedestrian walkway leading directly from the parking area to the Emergency entrance. Overheight vehicles that cannot enter the parkade will be allowed to follow the ambulance route to the Emergency entry. This change is necessary because the nearby construction of the critical care tower has limited the space available for traffic at the Emergency entrance, and we want to ensure that ambulances can always get through with our sickest patients. Change to South Entrance - Children’s Health Centre The circular drop-off near the entrance to the Children’s Health Centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital, accessed from 94A Avenue, is now permanently closed to vehicular traffic. There is still pedestrian access to the entrance, but we recommend that vehicles dropping off patients and visitors access the area via the elevator from the underground parking. We expect that we will have a new south entrance completed by June with a wheelchair ramp and provision for vehicle drop-off of patients. It will be accessed from 94A Avenue. Thank you We appreciate your cooperation and patience during these disruptions as we continue working to provide you with the best care possible through the redevelopment and expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital.

mated that over a fourmonth period last year, more than 50 employees worked under Moore. David Cooper worked for Moore for nearly two years at 40-plus demolition sites and was only once given protective equipment other than gloves, he said in an affidavit. He was never told of the hazards of asbestos. Cooper said most of Moore’s employees he worked with were under age 18, with some as young as 14. He was one of three exemployees who said they were instructed to run and not cooperate if the authorities showed up. WorkSafeBC spokesperson Donna Freeman would not say if an appeal will be filed. “WorkSafeBC is considering its options, given the court’s decision,” she said. A former associate of Moore’s predicts he won’t stop unless he’s jailed or

demand for his services dries up. The man, who declined to be named, said Moore charges around $3,000 on a job that should cost $20,000. He said Moore and a new partner have a business card under yet a new company name: Pro Scan Environmental. Calls placed to the phone number on the card for “Art” were not answered. A partner named “Dave” also listed on the card answered once, confirmed he knew Arthur Moore, but said he was too busy to talk.

Tighter rules needed: group Industry insiders say dangerous operators like Arthur Moore are the equivalent of someone HIV-positive infecting hundreds of sex partners and never telling them.

Like AIDS, asbestos exposure doesn’t cause illness or death until many years later – in contrast to most workplace safety risks. “If you don’t follow fall prevention guidelines and you fall off a roof, there’s a corpse lying on the ground,” said Don Whyte, manager of the Hazardous Materials Association, a B.C.-based industry group whose members strive to responsibly handle asbestos and other toxic materials. “In this industry, there’s no blood. The damage doesn’t show up for 20 or 30 years down the road.” WorkSafeBC statistics show there were 53 deaths over the previous decade blamed on workplace asbestos exposure. The rate of such deaths has been increasing and asbestos now accounts for 44 per cent of B.C.

work-related fatalities. Whyte said there are “plenty” of shady operators who break the rules. WorkSafeBC has dispatched an expanded team of 10 inspectors to pursue contractors who illegally expose workers and residents to asbestos contamination. “Without more rigid enforcement, we’re just going to continue to see this,” Whyte predicted. There’s no special licensing of asbestos abatement contractors in B.C. Whyte said B.C. should follow Alberta’s lead and bar new employees from working in the industry until they first take some orientation or introductory training session. That way, he said, prospective workers could be warned that the time to run is when they meet a boss like Arthur Moore. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Stay the course by re-electing Grewal Ward vote LIBERAL PAM DHANOA thinks the most impor-

tant issues in the Fleetwood-Port Kells riding are tuition fees, prescription costs, and EI. Her solution is more hand-outs in those areas, paid for by keeping taxes on employers high and cutting support for our Armed Forces. Surely a better solution for all three issues is lower taxes and higher employment, so people can meet their own needs. NDP candidate Nao Fernando claims that Nina Grewal is rarely seen here.

Well, most of us have never met Fernando either – and he doesn’t have to spend time in Ottawa. Grewal’s website has hundreds of photos of her right here in Fleetwood-Port Kells at charity fundraisers, community fairs, cultural and business events and meetings with constituents. The great 12th century philosopher Maimonides said that while there are many kinds of charity, the highest form of charity is to provide jobs so people can meet their own

needs with dignity. A robust economy – not hand-outs – provides the most help to those who need help the most. That’s what the Conservative government has done, with more people working now than before the recession, and we need to stay on course by re-electing Nina Grewal in Fleetwood-Port Kells. Alan T.

Dix has the skills to lead I FOLLOWED BOTH of the provincial leadership races with interest, and I have to say the B.C. NDP made an incredibly smart choice with Adrian Dix. Experienced, honest and fiercely intelligent, Dix was the only candidate from either party to make clear policy statements, so that people know where he stands. Best of all, he produced credible plans for how he intends to pay for every promise he makes. B.C. is hungry for positive change. Our environmental policies are a disgrace. Our health and education systems are being slowly strangled. A decade of cuts to our forest service have left this precious resource wide open to abuse, neglect and outright theft. Our government finances are sinking in debt while we splurge on stadiums, casinos and tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals and corporations. There is not even a system of accountability to check whether those who receive these generous bonuses use them to create a single job. All of this calls for a leader who is not afraid to lead. Adrian Dix has shown an impressive ability to tackle complex problems. He also actually has the courage to take a stand. In contrast, the B.C. Liberals seem to be relying on photo ops and vague slogans about “families.” Overall, I think the NDP made an inspired choice in Adrian Dix,

Letter writers differ on their views of Adrian Dix, the B.C. NDP’s new leader. who will be good for their party and good for all of B.C. Patrick Truelove, Delta

Dix will need a miracle MY SUSPICION that I had heard two

gunshots on Sunday afternoon was confirmed on the news. Apparently the B.C. NDP party

shot itself in both feet when electing Adrian Dix as their new leader. Leftwing politics has a distinctive appeal for many British Columbians but the majority of voters prefer the political centre. By supporting a platform that ignores fiscal reality, the NDP has reduced its chances of winning the upcoming provincial election. Someone once said, “The government cannot give to anybody any-

thing that the government does not first take from somebody else.” Surely there is enough truth in that observation to give pragmatic leaders cause to pause before thinking taxpayers’ dollars are the answer to every problem. Mr. Dix will need a miracle to become the premier of BC. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

Fares keep family away System broken THANK YOU to Raeside and

his recent political cartoon concerning the high costs of ferry fares by BC Ferries. Their explanation has been that there has been quite a decrease in the number of cars and passengers so it had to raise fares. It is now over $60 one way for car and driver, thus over $120 to make a round trip. In my opinion, the name on the ship in the cartoon is correct: Queen of Gouging. My sister is bed-ridden in a long-term care home in Victoria. She has no one in Victoria and lies in bed 24

hours a day with just nurses going in and out. I would love to visit her once a week. When I go I take her some fried chicken and I can stay with her to make sure she doesn’t choke. She loves this. The nurses cannot stand beside every patient with swallowing problems to make sure they don’t choke, so, therefore, all her food is minced. How would any of us enjoy that? And also she has someone with whom she can converse. And I can read to her, etc.

But it would cost over $120, plus gas, to go even once a month. When you are retired, that is quite a sum, but I try. To go once a week would cost around $500. We have been deprived of each other’s company. Obviously many people have cut down on their trips from Vancouver to the Island or vice versa. So BC Ferries, lower your prices so that we can start to visit our relatives and friends again.

WE HAVE A BROKEN system and very little will to fix it. Fewer judges but more cases. Yet we do not look at even the most simple fixes and continue to go after the easy instead of the real problems. Speeding is a “tax by radar gun” even though much court time is wasted to fight the tickets. You rarely see the police on a rainy day, when it is the most dangerous. There are studies to show speeding is not the huge problem the police and government say it is. Yet we continue to be “taxed” and even the speed limits are reduced to make areas better speed traps (i.e. the Surrey side of the Pattullo Bridge: 50 km/h). We continue to waste court time that could be used to give victims like Orion Hutchinson and Jessica Van Ruyven justice. Still no one speaks out.

carries weight

CITIZENS OF the City of Surrey

must draw their attention to an important issue, which has not received the attention it deserves: A vote on the need for a ward system. Here are some points on why the ward system is effective: 1. Your vote carries more weight. 2. The ward system gives a diversity of opinion on council. 3. Election debates are more workable than an at-large system. 4. Federal and provincial elections are all based on the ward system. 5. In a city of more than 400,000 people, it simply makes sense to have city politicians take responsibility for neighbourhood problems through a ward system. 6. It would be cost effective for candidates to run campaigns. 7. In ward elections, candidates can personally visit and speak to the households they are going to represent. 8. The ward system prevents the undesirable possibility of having all councillors from the same area of the town. 9. The at-large system gives an unfair advantage to wealthy candidates. 10.The ward system means smaller ballot paper. 11.The ward system means every area of the city gets equal representation. 12. The ward system encourages face-to-face interaction between candidates and voters. 13. The ward system means less influence from special interest groups. 14. Councillors will be more familiar with the neighbourhood problems of their wards. Local government has a big impact on our day-to-day lives. If you want a council where the interests of the entire city are represented and councillors are more easily called to account for their actions or neglect, then the ward system can better achieve both objectives. If you support the ward system, please write or email your views to the city of Surrey mayor and councillors. Contact information can be found at www.surrey.ca Jasvinder Singh Badesha, Surrey

He and his wife have been told the driver had only his learner’s licence at the time of the crash. The accused, who came to court with his mother and other family members, is scheduled to appear again May 11. The Sharma family has vowed to attend every court date. “I want his heart to beat faster every time he sees me,” said Sanjay.

The only thing that will matter, he said, is if he hears the two boys have made something of their lives over time. “They’re going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives,” Skura said. “And so will we. The main difference is, they have their lives, Matt doesn’t.” Skura said he had hoped part of the release conditions would have had the teens go to schools and warn other kids about the costs of losing their temper and getting into fights. “I want this to mean something, not just the loss of our son,” Skura said. “To mean something to other people, so that it doesn’t happen again.”

No jail for woman

MO V n f r E IN T O om *$2 DAY 29, 900

Disposed of newborn by Martin van den Hemel A SURREY woman who disposed of her newborn son’s dead body avoided any time behind bars, but will effectively be under house arrest for the next six months. Courtny Dawn Taylor, 22, was handed a 12-month conditional sentence by Richmond Provincial Court Judge Jodie Werier on Monday morning. During the first six months of her sentence, Taylor is not to leave her mother’s home – where she currently resides – save for work, court appearances, medical emergencies or a maximum of three hours per week to shop. In handing down her sentence, Werier said she could not find within a reasonable doubt that Taylor knew she was pregnant until two days before she gave birth in the washroom of her boyfriend’s home in Richmond. But Werier declined to give Taylor a conditional discharge, as defence lawyer Chandra Corriveau had requested, and noted one sentencing report which showed she wasn’t able to give a reasonable explanation for what happened on Jan. 31, 2010. Taylor was not remorseful for what happened, according to one pre-sentencing report. Shortly after the incident, she took a nap and smoked marijuana, Judge Werier said. And while Taylor only missed one day at work, she continued to socialize, including a visit to the casino. It wasn’t until a coworker noticed Taylor had suddenly lost a lot of weight that police were called in. They eventually confronted Taylor and her boyfriend, and the remains of her son’s body were found at the Burns Bog landfill after a three-day search. “This is a social stigma she will be burdened with for the rest of her life,” Werier said. Taylor told investigators that giving birth was a shock to her. During her pregnancy, she continued to deny to her family and

boyfriend that she was pregnant. After giving birth to her son, who she claims was stillborn with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, she took a shower and then cleaned up the blood in the bathroom. She then woke her boyfriend, told him what happened, and said that they should throw the baby out because it would start to decompose and smell. They then wrapped it in a towel and placed it in a garbage bag before tossing everything in a dumpster at a nearby school. Crown counsel Patti Tomasson argued an 18-month conditional sentence was appropriate, including 12 months of house arrest. Tomasson argued Taylor deliberately chose to conceal her pregnancy. Taylor was deemed in one report to be at low risk to re-offend, while another said she was low-to-moderate. Taylor also received a two-year term of probation, during which she will submit to a pregnancy test in the event her probation officer orders one. She’ll also have to give up a sample of her DNA which will be placed on a federal database. Taylor is to abstain from the consumption of alcohol and drugs during her conditional sentence.

THIRTEEN years after Vic Fraser’s murder in Surrey, family and friends of the popular trucker broke down in tears and hugged one another Friday after hearing Gary Donald Johnston had been convicted of second-degree murder. Johnston, bearded with a pony tail, stood and nodded at Supreme Court Justice Robert Crawford after hearing the decision and was led back into custody. “I can’t think of a word right now,” Vic’s tearful sister Jeanie said outside the courthouse in New Westminster. “Thankful. I just feel thankful and blessed. “Justice has been served,” she said, noting she and Vic’s family and friends had waited a long 4,745 days for that justice. “It’s been a long haul.” Victor Fraser was killed March 10, 1998 after walking in on Johnston, who was robbing Jeanie’s house in the Bridgeview neighbour-

Johnston wasn’t charged until 2009. During testimony during the month-long trial that began in March, the Crown contended that on the day of the murder, Johnston rode a bike to Jeanie’s home in the rain. He knew Jeanie and her home well as he had lived next door to her. Vic Fraser interrupted the robbery, the Crown said, showing up while Johnston was gathering

items to steal. The two men had met before and greeted one another, but Johnston grew concerned that Vic would become suspicious. So he went behind him, grabbed serrated knives from the kitchen counter and stabbed him several times in the neck, breaking the blades off the handles in the process. Fraser also had broken ribs and a pot broken over his head. Johnston later phoned

his brother and burned the clothes he wore during the murder. The Crown called three witnesses who testified Johnston confessed to the murder: his brother Mike, acquaintance Rick Smith from Saskatchewan, and a police officer who posed as a crime boss in an undercover operation. The defence did not call any evidence, but argued some of the witnesses were disreputable. In reading his oral decision Friday morning, Justice Crawford said he agreed “they are patently unsavoury characters,” referring to Mike Johnston, a drug user with mental health issues, and Rick Smith, who was convicted along with Gary Johnston for a separate murder in Regina. Crawford said he believed Smith’s testimony that he was afraid of Gary, determining Smith was interested in seeing him stay behind See FRASER / Page 11

Fraser: Truckers salute From page 10 bars for his own safety. “I place little weight on his evidence,” said the justice. As for Mike Johnston, Crawford said while the brother’s memory was lacking some of the time, Mike was very clear about many details. He may have been “unkempt” and uncertain of his memories, said Crawford, “but I found him truthful in court.” Also shown during the trial was video footage of Johnston’s conversations with a police officer posing as an undercover crime boss in 2009.

A hidden camera in a Montreal hotel room captured Johnston describing how he was robbing Jeanie’s home when Vic showed up. The video shows him standing up, gesturing with both arms how he stabbed him in the neck and how he proceeded to kick his victim when he fell to the floor. Justice Crawford said although Johnston exaggerated the details of the murder – he said he used four knives instead of two and stabbed him more times than he actually did – he called the confession accurate and freely given. “As he acted out what happened, it makes the video statement com-

pelling evidence against him,” Crawford said, ruling he was satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Johnston killed Fraser. About a half-dozen crane truck operators showed up at the courthouse, saluting Fraser, their former co-worker. “Thirteen years later and we’ve got all these truck drivers out again. What a tribute to Vic,” beamed Jeanie Fraser. Johnston’s conviction carries an automatic life sentence. The judge will determine his parole eligibility at a later date. sreynolds@surreyleader.comw

by Kristine Salzmann DELTA SCHOOL District officials

have reported they are facing a budget shortfall of $3.49 million for the 2011/12 school year. To make up the difference, the district has proposed cutting 12 teaching positions and 6.83 support staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given prior yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reductions, it is increasingly more difficult for the district to minimize reductions which do not have an impact on the classroom,â&#x20AC;? district secretary treasurer Joe Strain said in a press release. The district also plans to tap

into its reserve for $670,000 in order to submit a balanced budget to the province as mandated by the School Act. Strain said pension and other benefit increases, reduced availability of investment income, and inflationary pressures on supply costs are among the factors contributing to the shortfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the Ministry of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per-student funding amount for the coming year has slightly increased, it is not sufficient to keep pace with rising costs,â&#x20AC;? he said. Strain added Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student

population is projected to decline again this coming school year, although the decrease is expected to be somewhat offset by the introduction of full-day kindergarten to all B.C. elementary schools. In the press release, Delta Board of Education chair Dale Saip said he is concerned the district is facing the same challenges as in previous years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will personally be urging the Minister of Education to address the systemic funding issues that put us in the same position year after year,â&#x20AC;? he said. reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Sims said Canada’s health care system is “a gift from Tommy Douglas,” referring to leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, which joined another party to become the NDP.

Coalition: Idea raises tension From page 13 support care. Gill said health care must be dealt with locally, where there’s a better awareness of needs. The next question asked how the candidates would protect seniors. Dhaliwal said it’s important for people to be able to “retire with dignity.” For that, the government needs to protect the Canada Pension Plan. Sims said seniors “built our province and our nation.” She agreed that it’s critical to protect pensions, and said it’s also important to have Employment Insurance extensions. Hammond said too many people in this country, seniors and young alike, live in poverty. Fallon said in order to protect seniors, government must maintain protections everyone wants, including the a viable health care system, serious policies to reduce crime, and a strong economy. Fallon said that would include allowing income split-

ting (the process of redirecting income within a family to take advantage of the lower tax brackets, deductions and credits). Tempers began to flare when the spectre was raised of a coalition among the NDP, Liberals and the Bloc. Dhaliwal said the only time there was a coalition was when Harper joined forces

with other parties to try to take down the Liberal government. Sims called the discussion of coalitions a “bogeyman” that has no place in the formation of good policy. Hammond said there’s nothing wrong with a coalition, as long as its aim is to best represent the people who elected them in the first place.

On the way out of the meeting, Delta seniors Laddie and Rose were unswayed by what they heard. “Did you believe any of that?” Laddie asked. “It was entertaining.” Rose wondered aloud why so many of the answers seemed dodgy. “Why didn’t any of them answer the questions?” kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

........Federal Election .............................local votes .............surreyleader.com......................................................

HST looms large among those vying for a seat in Ottawa RIDING PROFILE: Surrey-North by Rick Kupchuk DONA CADMAN is the incumbent, and probably the favourite to represent SurreyNorth in Ottawa. But her opponents in the May 2 federal election are united in branding the one-term Member of Parliament as ineffective in her role. “I’m going after Dona Cadman because she’s not doing her job,” said Libertarian candidate Norris Barens. “When I’m campaigning, people are saying she’s just warming a seat (in Ottawa).” Cadman, first elected in 2008 in a riding represented from 1997 to 2005 by her late husband Chuck Cadman, posted on her website she is seeking re-election to “continue Chuck’s work.” But Liberal candidate Shinder Purewal says that is not what she is doing. “In 2000, I was a (Liberal) candidate against Chuck,” said Purewal, a political science instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “The message I got was Chuck was effective and strong as an MP. “So I didn’t run again. And in 2008, I supported Dona. She’s a nice person, but not a Q Total population: 111,965 Q Visible minority: 59,800 Q University degree strong, effective voice.” NDP candidate Jasbir Sandhu took issue or certiﬁcate: 10,685 Q Median family income: $50,051 Q Median age: 36.2 with Cadman’s stand on the Harmonized – Source: Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census Sales Tax (HST), arguing she told constituents she would oppose it, then refused to vote on it when she was in Ottawa. “Dona was supposed to take their voice to we have a referendum and the trend seems more doctors and nurses.

So an MP “(NDP leader) Jack Layton has proposed Cadman, who won the 2008 election will have to work in Ottawa to make sure the more training spaces for doctors and with 41 per cent of the vote, was not made $1.6 billion is spent in B.C.” nurses,” he said. “Also, we available for an interview with The Leader, Norris Barens, in his need to speed up the credespite repeated requests. second attempt at windential process for foreignIn addition to Cadman, six other names ning a federal seat for the trained doctors and nurses, are on the Surrey-North ballot.

Purewal takes a similar position on the controversial tax. “I spoke out against the HST,” he said. “Now

Riding facts:

“Dona... she’s a nice person, but not a strong, effective voice.”

Christian Heritage Party candidate Kevin Pielak suggested money allocated to health care shouldn’t fund abortion or sex-change operations. “There’s 100,000 abortions every year,” he said. “Pay for it yourself, we’d save millions that way. And paying for sex-change operations? It’s not an illness.” He also proposed borrowing money interest-free from the Bank of Canada to build more hospitals, and a policy of one bed per room as “research shows multi-bed rooms are not as healthy.” In regards to taxation, Purewal and Sandhu both endorse the elimination of proposed tax cuts to corporations. “We’ll be giving away billions to corporations with tax cuts,” said Sandhu. “Jack Layton says we should reduce taxes on small business from 11 per cent to nine per cent. “Small business creates the most jobs, and they are local jobs. Big corporations take their profits and open up call centres overseas. Those aren’t local jobs.” “Priorities in this riding are not spending $30 billion in fighter jets and corporate tax cuts,” said Purewal. “People are concerned about our rising debt and deficit. We have billions that don’t need to be spent on fighter jets, and billions that don’t need to go to big corporations who are doing just fine.” Green party candidate Bernadette Keenan also supported a balanced federal budget. “We can eliminate subsidies for large corporations,” she said. “And we should tax things that aren’t good for us, like a carbon tax. We could gain revenue that way.” Pielak endorses a change to the tax system, eliminating corporate and income tax, and implementing a “fair” sales tax. “It’s such a complex system we have now,” he said. “With a sales tax, you don’t pay tax on what you earn, you can take your money home. But you will be taxed on what you buy.” Barens promoted the Libertarian policy of “an honest money system. (Under the present system) if the government needs more money, they just print it. And that devalues the money people have in the savings.” Keenan, a Bridgeview resident, is in her first federal campaign as a Green party member after running as an independent in 2008. A candidate in the 2009 provincial election under the Green banner, her opposition to the South Fraser Perimeter Road – funded in part with federal money – prompted her to put her name on the ballot. “It’s not NIMBYism, there are a lot of environmental reasons why I oppose it,” she said.

Valley homes sales hit ﬁve-year high for March. Fraser Valley Real Estate Board records its best March since 2006. Home sales had a huge month in March, with sales hitting five-year highs. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) recorded 1,818 property sales last month, marking its best March since 2006. Sales jumped by 16 per cent over March 2010, which saw 1,565 sales in total. March also saw a jump of 42 per cent in sales over February, when the FVREB processed 1,279 sales. Back in March of 2006, 2,072 sales were recorded. Board President Sukh Sidhu says the overall demand was strong, but it wasn’t spread across the Valley as a whole. “For example, sales of single family detached homes in White Rock/South Surrey

increased by over 150 per cent in March compared to last year, however in Abbotsford they were down by almost seven per cent,” he said. Sidhu added that the number of new properties being listed for sale jumped by 11 per cent, rising from 3,038 new listings in February to 3,376 in March this year. Real estate prices also rose in March, but that jump was not quite as dramatic. The benchmark price for detached homes in the Fraser Valley hit $519,628 last month, an increase of 0.9 per cent over the March 2010 price of $514,787. Townhome prices remained relatively flat, rising from $326,307 in 2010 to $327,328 in March of 2011.

A touch of luxury at Langley’s Castle Hill by Kerry Vital

Castle Hill is just five minutes from Fort Langley, but owners will never know it once they step onto their property. Homes at Castle Hill include large terraced backyards, with a view of either a lush green belt backing onto the Salmon River or the Lower Mainland’s beautiful mountains. The homes range from 5,500 to 7,000 square feet, with plenty of open spaces including large kitchens and great rooms. “It’s a great development,” says HomeLife Benchmark Walnut Grove real estate agent Sherman Foster. All 12 one-acre lots have been sold,

with some being purchased by builders. There are currently three homes on the market, all built by Lanstone Homes. One home is completed, with the second due to be ready in August and the third in October.

Other builders involved with the project include Wallmark Homes, Wescraft Residential Builders and Clay Construction Inc. “Every lot is a unique setting,” Foster says. “I was showing the home (recently) and there were deer walking through the yard.” Potential homebuyers have told him they love the location of the subdivision and the lots, Foster says. The open-plan layout of the homes has also been popular.

Homes at Castle Hill are close to historic Fort Langley, three local golf courses and the Fraser River, as well as numerous shops, restaurants and other services. The current home, at 5,912 square feet, includes a double garage at the front of the house, plus a second double garage at the back, perfect for a boat, project car or bike. A large unfinished basement area is continued on page 2

state acreages near Fort Langley make Castle Hill a private haven on the grounds of the old Castle Ziegler.

Martin Knowles photos

Estate homes at Castle Hill range from $1.5 million to $1.7 million. The acreage estates feature large backyards with green belt or river views, and homes ranging from 5,500 to 7,000 square feet.

Scott: ‘I think I can win the election’ From page 18 “Why are we building a freeway where there is so little traffic to begin with? And with the diesel particulate from the trucks, kids can get asthma and it will affect seniors with respiratory problems.” Independent candidate Jamie Scott is campaigning for truth and honesty. “If a politician breaks a promise, he should resign,” said Scott, a longtime resident of the constituency. “And we

shouldn’t need the Freedom of Information Act as a process. The books and information should always be open.” In his first attempt at public office, he is confident he can become the second independent elected in the riding. “Surrey-North is independent territory. I was a huge fan of Chuck Cadman. I met him, voted for him. Now, I’m the only independent candidate on the ticket. “I think I can win the election.” sports@surreyleader.com

Greens keep the green Votes for ‘enjoy the rape’ candidate means money for party by Kevin Diakiw THE GREEN party

will likely profit from an errant candidate who quit after it was reported in this paper he had an offensive post on his Facebook site. Alan Saldanha, 63, had posted as his favourite quote on Facebook: “If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it!” Women’s support groups were outraged at the comment. Saldanha told The Leader his post was taken out of context, and apologized for it. He quit the election race last week – an hour after The Leader put the story on line. It’s expected many people will still be putting an “X” beside his name, even if it’s just to support the party. Doug McArthur, professor of public policy at SFU, said the party will likely get 1,000 votes for Saldanha, even though he has quit. Canadian political parties receive an annual $2-per-vote allowance. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Ehman, Bos to play college hoops

Crusaders pair commit to CIS S by Gary Ahuja

hould it ever come down to a head-to-head meeting, with Luke Ehman driving the lane and only Richard Bos standing in his way to the hoop, friendship would definitely be put aside for the time being. Bos admits with a smile he would have no problem standing his ground and delivering a hard foul if necessary on his lifelong friend, if that is what the game called for. “We would probably be the worst of friends (during the game),” added Ehman. That is what happens when high school comes to an end and players used to being teammates for the past five years, head their separate ways. But for the two Langley chums, their friendship stretches back even further, as they first met as Kindergarten students at St. Catherine’s Catholic Elementary School. And ever since they were in the fourth grade, the pair have also been teammates on the basketball court. But starting next year, the on-court partnership comes to an end as the 18-year-olds head their separate ways in pursuit of a university education and some post-secondary basketball at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) level. Ehman is off to Ontario, where he has committed to attend the University of Waterloo. Bos is also heading east, albeit it much closer to home, going to Kamloops to play for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. “Oh yeah,” said Holy Cross coach Matt LeChasseur, when asked if Ehman and Bos are competitive. “Every little thing is a competition, whether it is drills, or who hits more shots, or who had more assists.” Ehman was drawn to Waterloo for its

SPORTS BRIEFS

Win, loss for Blue Jays The North Delta Blue Jays split a two-game B.C. Premier Baseball League set in North Vancouver last Sunday against the North Shore Twins, winning the first game 9-6 before dropping the second 7-2. North Delta finished the weekend with a 2-3 (won-loss) record in league play, tied for eighth in the 13-team under-18 elite league. Jeff Bouchard went three-forfour in the first game, scoring three runs and driving in three others on a solo home-run in

academic reputation, and for the chance to play. “It will be a different experience,” Ehman admitted. “(But) it will be nice to learn a different kind of game.” Bos, a six-foot-six small forward, knows it will be a whole lot tougher competing in the Canada West conference. He watched both his future conference rivals Trinity Western and UBC play this last season – they won silver and bronze, respectively at the CIS national championships – and knows just how tough things will be. “It will be a challenge; it is just scary to see how good some of those guys are,” he said. “But it is exciting.” The pair are walking into different situations. Ehman is expected to get the chance to contribute right away at Waterloo. The Warriors play a high-tempo game and expect scoring from their guards. “He will fit right into that because he is very athletic,” said Waterloo coach Tom Kieswetter, whose starting point guard has graduated, meaning Ehman will have a chance for some minutes as a freshman alongside another returnee at the position. “We expect him to run the team, quarterback the attack and get some points out of him,” he said. Thompson Rivers coach Scott Clark tracked Bos all season after first seeing him at a Centre for Performance Basketball BC camp. “I was impressed with how hard he worked,” Clark said, stressing that work ethic is essential to success. “No player comes in as a freshman ready to contribute. What you are looking for is a kid who has those physical characteristics and has the ability to work and develop into the type of player you have a vision for.”

the first-inning and a two-run single in the second. Bryan Elias, Steven VanVooght and Quinn Allen all had two hits each, with Elias and Allen collecting a pair of RBIs each. Shane Wlodarczak got the win in relief, allowing one earned run on five hits, while striking out four batters. After rapping out 12 hits in game one, North Delta was held to just three in the rematch, while Twins batters collected 11 hits off a pair of Blue Jays pitchers. The Twins scored in five of the six innings they were at bat, with seven of nine starters getting at least one hit. Cam Frick and Nolan Ramsden drove in the Blue Jays runs. Both North Delta and the Fraser Valley Chiefs will face the White Rock Tritons in a

Provincial Cup

in their shoes

by Rick Kupchuk TWO SURREY teams have

moved on to the Provincial Cup quarterfinals, but the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s (VMSL) best team isn’t one of them. Surrey United Firefighters, winners of both the VMSL Imperial Cup and Premier Division titles this past season, lost 2-0 to Columbus SC Saturday afternoon in Cloverdale. ICST Pegasus travelled to Victoria Sunday afternoon, and after falling behind 1-0 early in the match, got goals from Azad Palani and Niko Marcina for a 2-1 victory over Bays United. The Punjab Hurricanes, relegated to Division One of the VMSL for next season, stayed alive in Provincial Cup play with a 4-1 victory over the Fraser Valley Soccer League’s Athletic Club of B.C. Bobby Jhutty had a hat trick for the Hurricanes, with Pami Birring adding a single.

The art of dance

Surrey/North Delta Leader

F After a month of leaps, twirls and pirouettes, top performers from the Surrey Festival of Dance and other provincial festivals will return to the local stage for the No Borders Dance Challenge on May 7

or the past month, thousands of dancers have been tapping, pirouetting, popping and gliding across the Surrey Arts Centre stage. The 45th-annual Surrey Festival of Dance wrapped up yesterday (Thursday), with the last of the junior tap and stage competitors performing for the adjudicators. Every day over the past several weeks, more than 10,000 dancers of all ages – competing in ballet, lyrical, modern, song and dance, jazz and hip hop – have displayed their skills at the festival, one of the largest amateur dance competitions in North America. Winners from the Surrey festival, as well as the top groups at other B.C. festivals, will now be featured at the No Borders Dance Challenge, May 7 at 9 a.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. An honour awards ceremony takes place the same day and place at 7:30 p.m. For more information, phone 604-583-3320.

War play transcends the generations Waiting for the Parade runs April 28 to May 7 by Alex Browne IT MAY TAKE place in

Calgary in the dark days of the Second World War, but John Murrell’s Waiting For The Parade has a universality that crosses generations. That’s the belief of Wendy Bollard, director and co-producer of 16th Avenue Productions upcoming version of the home-front comedydrama, coming to Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., from April 28 to May 7.

“Anytime you get a bunch of women together, you’re going to have a lot of laughter and some backbiting,” Bollard said. “I’m sure it was the same then as it would be now.” But that, fortunately, applies to the characters Murrell has created for Waiting For The Parade (“five very real women,” Bollard said) and not to the actors she has cast in her directorial debut. “I call them my dream team,” Bollard said.

“I’m so lucky. Every one in the cast has been so supportive and spurring each other on to do better. There’s been lots of fun and lots of laughing.” Benefiting the semiprofessional production has been the casting of such professional actresses as Luvia Petersen and Ashley Siddals, who play the roles of Janet and Catherine. “Luvia is not only a professional film and television actress, she

April 25th is Parental Alienation Awareness Day Are you a parent who is being made the enemy of your children? This is PARENTAL ALIENATION! The BC Ministry of Attorney General is currently revising the Family Relations Act (FRA) and is passing new legislation very soon. We are concerned that this Ministry is under estimating the importance of specifically addressing Parental Alienation in the new FRA. Parental Alienation must be identified as a specific factor in divorce, along with specific remedies, in the new FRA. It also needs to be defined as a form of domestic violence and child abuse, which experts say it is. Parental Alienation frequently happens during a divorce or separation. It occurs when one parent actively works to align a child by unjustified or exaggerated denigration of the other parent, also making it difficult for those grandparents to stay connected to their grandchildren. For information on Parental Alienation visit www.nanaimomen.com or www.marsbc.com or http://www.paawareness.org We are asking concerned parents, family members, judges, lawyers, counsellors, psychologists, and other professionals to contact the Attorney General of BC and your local MLA immediately. Let them know you want Parental Alienation recognized with specific remedies in the new FRA legislation.

teaches acting – when you have that level of actor, that’s the bar that’s set,” said Bollard, adding that while other members of the cast may not have the same degree of theatrical or film experience, they are all rising to the challenge of making the women and their relationships real. Much of the dramatic tension of the show is a result of the sparks that fly between Petersen’s character, bossy Red Cross volunteer Janet, and Siddals’ character, the fun-loving Catherine, Bollard noted. “Catherine is one of those women we’d all like to be – she’s nice, easy-going, attractive and guys like her. Her husband is one of the first to sign up for military service. “But with her husband away at war she has to make some choices to survive and get through. She makes choices that some people might think wrong.” Janet, married to a radio news-flash broadcaster, is defensive about his choice not to volunteer for military service – averring that “it’s radio that keeps this country together.” “She overcompensates by becoming the bossiest of the bossy,”

Bollard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her father is interned as an enemy alien for the duration of the war â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which raises the whole questions of the wrongs and rights of internment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The playwright doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say whether he feels its wrong or right. He leaves that up to you.â&#x20AC;? Bollard said she wants the play to be an authentic tribute to a generation of women of tremendous strength, who lived in the present and carried on one day at a time without knowing how long the war would continue, or whether their loved ones would return. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great deal of humour in the situations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first attempts to paint their legs to simulate unavailable silk or nylon stockings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and also the music of popular songs that women sang among themselves to keep their spirits up. Judging by initial interest, there shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much trouble in landing good houses for the play. But Bollard said the most important thing of all will be the journey of bringing Murrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision to the stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I decided to start this company, it was because I wanted to work with great people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People coming to see the show will just be icing on the cake.â&#x20AC;?

neighbours Lois Peterson and Cristy Watson – is including lots of dialogue. They should know. The much-published Peterson (The Ballad of Knuckles McGraw, Meeting Miss 405 and Silver Rain) has worked in libraries for some 35 years, including seven years in children’s services for Surrey Public Library, as well as teaching creative writing to adults, teens and children. And Watson, a poet and comparative newcomer to writing fiction, has worked for years with academically and literacy-challenged teens, as a teacher in Langley School District. “I’d thought the secret was writing about spaceships or something,” said Peterson. Added Watson: “I’ve always worked with kids who are reluctant readers and I’ve asked them what kind of book would you pick up, and they’ve told me ones with lots of talking, because there are less words on a page.” There’s plenty of dialogue, accessibility and reader identification in their two newly released short novels in Orca’s Currents series of “middle school fiction for reluctant readers.” Peterson’s Beyond Repair tells the story of Cam, a teenager forced to become the man of the family when his father dies – and then protect them from an unexpected menace; being stalked by the man responsible for the fatal road accident. Watson’s Benched – her first novel – is about Cody, an ordinary boy with aspirations to become a writer for his school paper, who finds himself coerced into vandalism and theft by a youth gang grooming new members. Both Peterson and Watson’s compelling and highly readable books, while universal in themes, have a very local appeal, complete with Surrey and White Rock

references. Watson’s Benched involves the actual unsolved disappearance of a bench from Southmere Park, near where she and Peterson live, she said, sparked the “what if?” questions in which most successful fiction is rooted. Peterson said she, too, was inspired by a real news item about a man stalking the family of a man he killed – she no longer remembers when and where she read it – that was enough to prompt her hair-trigger imagination and file the idea away for future use. It’s coincidence that both books should be about young men forced by circumstances to “step up” and shoulder their responsibilities – and a testament to Peterson’s and Watson’s writing skills that each has created a convincing voice for their first-person male protagonists. Peterson and Watson’s friendship and mutual inspiration also followed a path of happy semiaccident, they said. “Cristy came to a course I was teaching,” Peterson said. “That’s when I got asked to be in the writers’ group.” The informal group was brought together by the late Surrey teacher and writer Barb Lonsdale, who passed away last year. It was ironic, Watson said, that Peterson’s original class was on writing dialogue, because it’s something the latter – who wrote stories and articles for adults for 20 years before starting to write for younger readers – admits was never her favourite part of writing. “I didn’t let my characters talk to each other,” Peterson admitted. The Calgary-born Watson, who has principally published as a poet – she is an organizer and participant in Semiahmoo Arts’ Readings By The Salish Sea series – has only latterly come to the novel form. “But I’ve really been writing since I was eight,” she said, adding her poetic sense informs her story writing.

Take time to visit a sick loved one Caregiving

OFTEN, VISITING a sick make an effort to ask friend or relative can for a patient’s and/ be an awkward experior immediate family’s ence. Most of us do permission to visit not have any particular before showing up. The training in this field and patients’ needs are more are often at a loss for important than yours something when it to say or comes are on “pins to visitaand needles” tion, because we so you are afraid we should might say respect the wrong them. thing. At Many times patients in people hospitals believe Jas Cheema or at home they appreciate should their friends’ be able and family members’ to make the person feel better or do something visits but sometimes to relieve their sufferthey’d just like to rest ing. and would rather not They feel guilty if have visitors. they cannot do this or If it’s possible, always

sometimes feel guilty as well as relieved that they, themselves, are well. For the person who is ill, the emotional pain is often worse than the physical pain which can be awful too. Feeling isolated, which is different from wanting to be alone can make an illness worse. Your attention should be focused on what “they” need. A good way to open the discussion and find out what the patients needs may be is, “how I can be helpful… is there something I can do that would make you feel better?” It may difficult for your friend or relative to answer. After all, most of us are taught not to

burden others with our problems. It may surprise you to learn that, most often, what the person needs is for someone to just listen emphatically. One of the biggest blessings for anyone is someone trustworthy and caring to talk to. Fight the urge to ask a lot of questions. Sure you care and want to know about the prognosis and progress of the patient. But remember that many people are very private when it comes to their health. Be respectful of their right to privacy and do not pry. Allow them to share with you what they want to tell you. Also, don’t be a mes-

Ten ways to help animals THE BC SPCA is declar-

ing April Wildlife Awareness month and is urging the public to become proactive in helping protect and appreciate the diversity of species with which we share the planet. Every year, the BC SPCA cares for more than 2,000 injured and orphaned wild animals, most of whom have been harmed in some kind of interaction with humans. Why wait until today – Earth Day? Here are ten ways you can help wildlife all year round: • Boycott helium balloon releases. Released, deflated balloons – latex and mylar – often drift into waterways where seabirds, turtles and whales mistake them for food causing blockages resulting in slow, agonizing deaths. • Beware of wild homes. Respect wildlife and allow them to thrive without disturbing them. For example, keep dogs on leashes near waterways where ground nesting birds are incubating eggs and don’t remove trees or shrubbery during spring nesting season. • Don’t litter. It sounds obvious, but discarded trash like glass, cigarettes, lighters and bottle caps kills wildlife. • Plant habitat. Plant a diverse selection of native vegetation to support butterflies, bees, song birds and mammals. • Keep cats indoors or create a screened outdoor cat enclosure. Outdoor cats kill

thousands of birds, mammals and reptiles every year. Spring is when baby birds are most vulnerable to cat predation. • Eat less meat or buy SPCA Certified products. Eating less meat helps reduce, for example, the global destruction of rainforests for cattle production. • Choosing locally raised SPCA Certified products is your assurance that animals are raised to a high welfare standard. • Don’t buy products made from wildlife parts. Shoes, purses, wallets and clothing

are often made from the skins or parts of either “farmed wildlife” or from animals taken from the wild. • Support sustainodable seafood prodng ucts. Avoid eating d fish and seafood which come from vulnerablee ces habitats, practices al which have lethal impacts on other species or whose populations are at risk from poor management. Look online for seafood guides. • Say no to exotic pets. Don’t support the keeping of wild animals

as pets – snakes, frogs, parrots, sugar gliders and turtles are all examples of wild animals deserving to be left in their native habitats. • Pledge financial support ffor Wild ARC. W Wild ARC (ww (www.wildarc. com is the com) B SPCA’s BC w wildlife r rehabilitatio centre tion in Me Metchosin on Vancouver Island.

senger of doom and gloom. Okay you had a cousin that had the same condition and passed away as a result. This is not the time to share this story. Instead, be positive and encouraging no matter the situation. Visiting a sick person at home or in the hospital for a short period of time can lift someone’s spirits but not if they have to “entertain” you or “fix themselves up in anticipation of your visit” which uses up much of their needed,

and often, diminished energy. Pay attention to the patient’s words and actions so that you’ll pick up on signs that he or she would like to have some time alone to rest. It’s advisable to visit more frequently and stay for shorter periods of time than it is to stay longer. Visiting when you’re sick is also bad idea; you don’t want to risk an already sick person catching whatever you have. Simply keep these

tips in mind when visiting someone who is sick and you’ll make things easier on both you and the patient. Your loved one will appreciate that you’ve taken the time to ensure his or her comfort.

Masquerade Ball

Help coming to parents of picky eaters

Masquerade Ball benefiting PICS’ Second Stage Housing Complex

on Friday, May 13th

Workshop in Delta on May 3 EATING IS among the

many issues that parents worry about with their children. Parents of toddlers often worry about their child eating enough. As a child gets older, parents often worry about their child only eating one type of food, or eating a balanced diet. Parents also question whether their child is just going through a phase or whether there are other issues influencing their eating habits. As eating can effect a child’s development, these are valid concerns. On May 3, Reach Child and Youth Development Society is offering help to parents with a workshop called Helping Your Picky Eater. The workshop will take place from 6:30-8 p.m. at #3, 3800 72 St. The workshop will share information that will help parents determine whether their child is a picky eater or actually has a deeper problem with feeding. Parents will also learn the reasons why some children don’t eat, what can influence a child’s diet and different methods to introduce new foods. Parents will leave the workshop with a good idea on how to facilitate a positive eating experience at home and how to expand their child’s diet. Workshop presenters Christine Gleave and Andrea Wong, are occupational therapists who help children in the development of skills that are needed in their daily activities. In addition to eating, this includes other selfcare activities such as

dressing and toileting, fine motor activities such as holding a pencil, cutting with scissors, and drawing, and leisure activities such as swimming, soccer and hockey. This workshop will focus on eating and feeding. Reach Child and

Youth Development Society is a non-profit organization that has been helping children and families since 1959. Reach offers a variety of programs designed to meet the needs of children from birth to age 19. The Helping Your Picky Eater workshop is

Silent and Live Auction Champagne Reception, Dinner and Dancing

BROWN, Annie Elizabeth “Beth” (nee Owens), October 3, 1918 – April 7, 2011 Beth Brown, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on April 7, 2011 at the Cranbrook General Hospital in her 93th year. Beth or “Oma” will be greatly missed by all who have known her. She was a vibrant light of enthusiasm, optimism and wisdom. Always informed and interested, there wasn’t very much she let get by her and she also spent a good deal of time getting to know you and what was on your mind. A conversation with Beth was lively and usually included a laugh together. Beth had a passion for travel; one of her last trips at age 89 was to Canada’s North so she could put her toe into the only ocean she had not experienced. Born in Kamloops BC as the only daughter to Annie and Arthur Owens, she grew up on the West Coast with her brothers. She would later meet her husband, Lee and together spend their time moving up and down the Paciﬁc Coast until they settled in White Rock as their community of choice. Beth spent her last years in Cranbrook, making new friends and enjoying her family. Beth is survived by her two daughters Gail (Wayne) and Denise (Brian) and four grandchildren Neil (Linda), Alex, Samantha (Mark) and Amanda. She is predeceased by her husband Lee, and brothers, Denis, Randy, John and Don. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr.Peiterse and the staff at both the Cranbrook General Hospital and Joseph Creek Village for their wonderful care and kind hearts. At Beth’s request, there will not be a funeral service. We ask you to keep her fondly in your memory. Those wishing to honour Beth’s memory may do so by making a gift to either the White Rock Seniors Centre or the Cranbrook Seniors Centre. Condolences to the family can be offered by writing to groo.brown@gmail.com. Beth, you will always be with us. If love could heal, you would live forever. We will remember you in our hearts and with the actions we take every day.

Never selfish, always kind, your loss is unbearable. The one thing that keeps us going are all the memories of you dad. In secret we weep, in silence we cry, as each lonely hour and day passes by there’s only one thought that eases our pain. And it’s knowing that we will be together again. You were a wonderful loving husband, and a father who was one of a kind. You always put us first and we love you and thank you. It’s hard to believe each morning we wake up and we don’t see that smile on your face, hear your laugh, listen to you tell your many jokes. We know that it’s unfair that God took you from us, but he needed and angel, and dad, you truly were one. You are our angel dad, we love you, miss you, pray for you. Dad you were our everything, we prayed everyday to have you with us. We are lost without you.
