Fired officer released

Hodson bail conditions ‘restrictive’Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A former Vancouver police officer accused of trafficking marijuana has been granted bail – with a string of conditions his lawyer described as “restrictive.”

Peter Hodson, a 31-year-old White Rock resident who grew up on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, was granted release from the Sur-rey Pre-Trial Centre Wednesday afternoon, following an hour-long bail hearing in Van-couver Provincial Court.

As Hodson’s parents listened, Judge Jeanne Watchuk imposed 16 conditions and ordered

a cash deposit of $65,000 for his release.

Hodson was arrested – and fired – April 21 at Vancouver Police Depart-ment’s Cambie Street headquarters, following a two-month investiga-tion into allegations that a constable was selling “street-level amounts” of marijuana both on- and off-duty.

Hodson has been charged with trafficking marijuana, breach of trust and break-and-enter with the intent to commit extortion in connection with the allegations.

Watchuk imposed a publication ban on what was said at Wednesday’s hearing.

However, Hodson’s lawyer, Vincent Michaels, said outside court that his client intends to plead not guilty to the charges and that he intends “to pursue every legal option available” to defend Hodson.

ALS takes toll on teacher

‘I’m notfacingthis bymyself’

The piano sits in the front room of Alison Bennett’s home, by the window where the morning sun warms the hues of its vintage-brown tones.

And though its keys are the traditional black and white, this grand Mason & Riche is far from ordinary. It represents a passion that first found its way into Bennett’s soul nearly four decades ago and still continues, despite her inability to play anymore.

“I was very good,” the longtime school teacher says of the talent she began exploring at age eight.

Thirty-nine years later, as she struggles with the debilitating symptoms of ALS – that, almost cruelly, first appeared in her hands – her passion hasn’t wavered.

Music, she says, “makes a well-rounded child. In the classroom... I used it as a tool. It exposes a whole new side of their brain.”

And for Bennett, it is therapy.“I have satellite radio going all

the time,” she says, lighting up at the thought. “It makes me feel good, all music (though) not the head-banging stuff.”

Bennett began teaching in 1986, first in Calgary, then in Vancouver and Victoria, before arriving in South Surrey in 2004, where she taught at Laronde Elementary up until last November.

Her love of children drove her career; her musical prowess made it easy to find work wherever her husband’s job took them.

“Because I had music, I always got a job,” she said.

“My reputation followed me around. It was quite handy.”Brian Giebelhaus photo

The HST has mobilized public opinion in a way that has rarely been seen

in this province.Much of the anger over

the new tax is related to the way it was dropped on the public, just after an election campaign in which there was barely a mention of harmonizing sales taxes.

But there are also some very practical reasons people are angry. One of those is the effect the HST will have on the construction and sale of new homes.

The new home business is big in Surrey – perhaps the largest single private-sector economic activity. The sector employs many people – from road builders to carpenters, and from movers to realtors.

Moss Moloney, a North Delta realtor who has been in the business for more than 30 years, has just been elected president of the B.C. Real Estate Association, a provincial organization which advocates for the real estate industry.

He told me Tuesday that the impact of the HST on new homes cannot be overstated. Because homes are already very highly-taxed, the added seven per cent will make a huge difference to the business.

Moloney refuted the political arguments that the government is making about the benefits of the HST, with a few blunt and

well-chosen examples.He agreed the ability of

builders and suppliers to get tax credits for materials has the

potential to reduce the overall cost of a new home – not by seven per cent, but by up to two per cent. However, he pointed out no one is forcing any of those suppliers to reduce their prices, and the inclination of anyone in business is to keep as much profit as they can.

How much more will the HST cost people who buy new homes?

Moloney gave a great example. A home in Morgan Heights in South Surrey – a popular area to live, and one that many families would aspire to move up to as perhaps a second or third home, currently sells for $905,000. If the seller reduced the price because of the tax credits received as a result of the HST, the price could drop to $886,000.

At $905,000, the current tax rules would see the buyers pay another $45,000 in GST and $16,000 in property transfer tax.

After July 1, at the lower price, the HST on the home would be $106,000, with the transfer tax dropping to $15,000. There would be an HST rebate of $26,250 (the maximum allowed), but the net tax payable would be $94,750, up from $61,000 before the HST.

Moloney said the BCREA is

asking the province to consider indexing the HST threshold on an annual basis, to reflect the actual price of housing.

As homes have risen in price so much in recent years, the property transfer tax (ironically, an initiative of the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1987) which was at one time considered to be a “luxury tax” has become a tax that 88 per cent of all home buyers pay.

As the province seems to have no interest in reducing or eliminating that tax, which brings in about $1 billion a year, the BCREA wants it to seriously consider reducing what it refers to as “shelter taxes.” Keeping the effect of the HST to a minimum is the best way of doing so, he stated.

“They are taxing the living daylights out of housing,” Moloney said.

People who have bought new homes in recent years have had the advantage of paying very low interest rates, but those days are drawing to a conclusion. With the HST kicking in on July 1, there is a very real chance that one of Surrey’s biggest industries could slow down to a trickle.

At the very least, the points made by Moloney and others show why much more discussion about the effects of the HST would have been far better than the way this tax has been handled.

Organizers of a campaign to repeal the harmonized sales tax say they now have more than 300,000 signatures from across the province.

Canvassers say their anti-HST petition has more than the required 10 per cent of vot-ers in 44 ridings – including Surrey-White Rock, where 5,951 signatures had been col-lected as of May 2.

The 90-day Citizens’ Initiative needs 10 per cent of registered voters – all verified by Elections BC – in all 85 constituencies to

be declared successful. Sign-ups have been strongest in northern B.C.

Surrey-White Rock is among 17 ridings that have passed a higher 15 per cent target set to offset disallowed signatures.

Other local ridings still have a way to go. As of May 2, Surrey-Cloverdale had 1,601 signatures, less than one-third of the 5,934 target; Surrey-Panorama had 1,916 signa-tures, 3,774 short of its target.

Other Lower Mainland ridings above the 15 per cent target are Delta South and the two Chilliwack ridings. Abbotsford South, Delta North, Fort Langley-Aldergrove, Langley,

North Vancouver-Seymour, Port Coquitlam and Surrey-Green Timbers have passed the 10 per cent minimum.

The lowest numbers are being recorded in Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver.

Campaign organizers say government’s passage last week of HST-enabling legisla-tion stoked more anger among voters.

“People were hoping their MLA would vote according to their wishes,” said Surrey-based organizer Patricia Enair.

“When (Liberal MLAs) didn’t, we saw an increase in people phoning, wanting to find out where they can sign the petition.”

Enair said challenges that have hampered the campaign have included finding loca-tions to host petitions, as many commercial properties don’t want to get involved.

The campaign wraps up July 5. Success does not ensure the HST, which merges the GST and PST into a single 12 per cent charge, will be repealed.

The right number of signatures may force government to introduce legislation disman-tling the tax, but the repeal bill could simply be defeated or never called for a vote.

If that happens, campaigners vow to target Liberal MLAs for recall.

Decision follows earlier criticism of businesses’ response to parking survey

City backs Marine Drive valet serviceAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

Free parking on the waterfront may be a dead issue – for now – but White Rock council has thrown its support behind a seven-day-a-week Marine Drive valet parking service proposed by a waterfront restaurateur.

At its Monday night meeting, council members endorsed finan-cial services director Sandra Kury-lo’s recommendation to green light the service, proposed by Matthew Hale, owner of Cielo’s Tapas and Oyster Bar, from mid-May to late October.

Just a week earlier, council had voted down free waterfront park-ing in the winter months after expressing disappointment at the limited response from businesses to a city survey on the program.

“We want to encourage people to stay in the city,” Coun. Al Campbell said after Monday night’s meeting.

“The decision on parking was not anti-business, just good business, for us.”

The new valet parking program may provide greater convenience for Marine Drive business patrons, but no relief to their pocketbooks, however.

In her report to council, Kurylo pointed out that while the service would add parking capacity and more options for visitors during the summer season, it is seen as a specialty service and would be priced at a premium.

Kurylo said letters of support from other businesses are being received – a necessary comfort level for the city in the absence of an official endorsement from the White Rock BIA, currently in limbo pending approval of its renewal bylaw.

The city will provide two Martin Street parking stalls for the service, seven days a week from 4:30 p.m.

to 1 a.m., at no cost. Hale told council all access for the service to Martin Street will be off Victoria Avenue only and not from Marine Drive.

Offsetting funding for the anticipated $5,000 loss of revenue for the two spaces will come from the city’s economic bud-get development, which recently received a boost from higher than antici-pated parking revenues.

Staff will also provide a full report on the out-come of the service, in collaboration with Hale, at the end of the year.

Coun. Helen Fathers, who said she fully supports the idea, wondered whether it would be promoted outside of White Rock.

“I’m sure it will be on the BIA

website and the Tourism White Rock website,” city manager Peggy Clark said.

In response to a question from Mayor Catherine Fer-guson, Clark said the city logo would be included on all signage, recognizing the city contribution of $5,000 to the project.

“Wherever we’re in part-nership with somebody, we have a logo on that,” Clark said.

“I think it’s really positive that we’re taking another step (toward) parking,” Ferguson said.

“This will not only bene-fit visitors and tourists but benefit residents if they

want to go down there. “It’s another example of part-

nership and collaboration, and I think, as a city, we are successful with this.”

Accused dogs get secondchancesTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

White Rock city officials have put the owners of a dog accused of mauling a teacup chihuahua to death last month on notice – con-trol your dog or risk losing it.

“We basically had to send notice to the property owners, as per our bylaw, because there has not been any previous incidents with the dog,” said Paul Stanton, the city’s director of development services. “More than one incident, and the dog’s got to be gone or put down.”

Helen Koch’s chihuahua, Coco, was killed April 16 as the three-pound dog neared the end of a

walk around the block with Koch.

According to Koch, a black husky-type dog that was walking off-leash with two women and another, on-leash dog, ran up to Coco and “basi-cally mauled her to death.”

Stanton said the city’s dog bylaw gives “a one-chance scenario.”

Since Coco’s death, at least two other dog owners say they have reported attacks on their pets to the city, most recently on May 1.

White Rock’s Brittany Johnson said her dog, Cash, needed stitches in his face after he was attacked by a pit bull/border collie while play-ing with other off-leash dogs in Semiahmoo Park.

Johnson said she was told by a bylaws official “there’s not much they can do,” as the dog in question does not have a record of attacks.

Johnson, who hopes to recoup her vet costs through small-claims court, encouraged anyone who has such run-ins to report them.

Stanton did not know if the notice issued in connection with Coco’s death included a fine.

Ray Buksh, White Rock’s man-ager of bylaw enforcement, did not return calls by Thursday afternoon.

tion” of the evidence against his client, who he described as “a strong guy… in good spirits, all things considered.”

In response to a reporter’s com-ment regarding the extent of evi-dence against Hodson, Michaels noted there have been cases where “overwhelming” evidence has resulted in a “very differ-ent” outcome than what was expected.

“I trust that everybody will remember the purpose of these proceedings is to separate fact

from fiction,” Michaels said.“There’s a real disconnect

between the guy he was and the allegations that are being made against him.”

In court Wednesday, Hodson listened intently as Crown coun-sel Teresa Mitchell-Banks made submissions, and at least twice he cast a slight smile towards his parents, Rex and Sue Hodson.

The couple declined to com-ment while awaiting the judge’s decision. They were later fol-lowed by reporters outside the courthouse.

Hodson’s release conditions include: a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew; a nine-person ‘no con-tact’ list; a ban on possessing any weapons; and a one-telephone limit, either land-line or cell.

He is also banned from an area in Vancouver, bounded by False Creek/the Strait of Georgia to the north, Boundary Road to the east, southwest/northwest Marine Drive to the south and Oak Street to the west.

Hodson – an alumnus of White Rock Christian Academy – is due back in court on June 22.

Truck crash One man was taken to

hospital unconscious and bleeding from the head last week, after the Ford F150 he was driving went off the road near 4 Avenue and 172 Street.

The single-vehicle crash occurred just after 2:30 p.m. April 28. Witnesses told police the truck went off the road at a high speed and plowed through a field and into a metal container before coming to rest – wheels still spinning – just before hitting a wooden fence.

“The wheels were turning at full acceleration even after the vehicle had come to a

stop,” said Const. Kenn Meglic.The truck’s front end sustained

extensive damage. The driver, whose

shoe was found wedged between the gas and brake pedals, also suffered foot and ankle injuries.

The driver had no recollection of what

caused the crash, Meglic said.

Red lightPolice say speed and

failing to stop for a red light are to blame for an evening crash May 2 at 184 Street and 32 Avenue.

A 20-year-old Surrey woman was ticketed after a white Toyota westbound on 32 Avenue collided with a blue Dodge that was southbound on 184 Street.

According to police, the crash occurred shortly before 7 p.m., when the Dodge driver ran a red light.

The Toyota driver was a 19-year-old Langley woman.

No injuries were reported, however, the Toyota sustained extensive front-end damage in the crash.

The Dodge had minor damage to its rear driver’s side.

Stiffer penalties aimed at taking drunk driv-ers off B.C. roads were announced last week by Public Safety Minister Mike de

Jong, and the new legislation is nothing to scoff at.

Michael and Laurel Middelaer, whose 4½-year-old daughter Alexa was killed in 2008 while feeding horses at the side of the road, were both on hand for the announcement of the new rules, which state that a driver failing a roadside breath test will face a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and 30-day vehicle impound-ment. Add in other fines and fees for towing and education and that second beer with dinner could end up costing more than $3,700.

Higher fines are also in store for people who blow a “warn” – defined as a reading between 0.05 and 0.08 blood-alcohol content. This could lead to a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative penalty. Previously, the punish-ment handed out by police for either infraction was a 24-hour roadside suspension.

The stiffer penalties were welcomed by the Middelaer family, who’ve campaigned tirelessly in Alexa’s honour to eradicate drunk driving. (A woman faces charges of impaired driving caus-ing death, and is scheduled to appear in court this month.)

Last month, Alexa’s Team – made up of more than 60 Lower Mainland police officers – was honoured for helping drive forth the cause.

But despite increased enforcement, penalties, education and – sadly – the death of innocent victims, recent reports suggest that people still don’t get it. Provincial stats show an increase in drunk driving cases across B.C. – about one in 30 people have yet to get the message, despite the impassioned pleas from people like the Middelaers, as well as Counterattack and Mothers Against Drunk Driving programs.

So while the new rules are to be applauded, they are not, on their own, a catch-all solution.

No rules, no matter how stiff, will eradicate impaired driving from our streets.

Many who drive drunk have to believe, when they get behind the wheel, that they’ll never be caught, nor cause an accident. After all, if the possibility of death – either their own, or their innocent victim’s – hasn’t scared them sober already, a few hundred dollars in fines surely won’t.

The onus, then, is on all of us, as individual drivers, to make the only safe decision.

Don’t drink and drive.

editorial

At first, it will seem like you’re OK with it.

After all, it’s the natural order of things: your offspring moving up and out and into their own lives.

Maybe they’re headed to college at the “adult” age of 18. Or leaving under less-than-ideal circumstances at 16. Or God forbid, 14.

Perhaps they’ve been as constant a presence in your life as that 1963 stained plaid couch in the rec room, but they’re finally “striking out” at the ripe old age of 29.

It doesn’t matter. Your reaction will be the same.

At first, you will revel in the freedom. Feel satisfaction in your duty done as a parent. Be positively giddy over the financial savings.

You will see your grocery bill plummet by at least 25 per cent. Take-out bags will be half the size they once were. And there will always be another roll of toilet paper.

This glow will last a few days, maybe weeks. But then there will be other observations.

There will be the time you hear them on the front porch, their key in the door and their laughter or complaints over

the day spilling into the hallway as their shoes come off and their bags get tossed aside while you make dinner.

You will turn at the sound of their footsteps on the stairs… rushing out to soccer or kickboxing or night school, a swirl of activity that you will soon see – through this cruel lens of hindsight – both taxed and energized you at the same time.

You will recall how they brought home both welcome and unwelcome visitors. How after some stupid and preventable accident they made you sit in the ER for hours when you should have been in bed, getting much-needed rest for the next day’s important meeting.

You will remember the time you came home after a particularly brutal Friday to find the house cleaned from top to bottom and a daisy from the garden perched in a vase.

In short, you will miss them.For me, there has been a six-month

reprieve, a denial of sorts, between my daughter leaving and her “really” leaving.

After being accepted as an RCMP cadet last November, she began a six-month regime at Depot Academy in

Regina. Next week, after successfully completing her training, she is coming back to B.C.

She will be Const. Carlson, and if my pride were a balloon, it would burst.

But she is not coming “home.”Granted, I get the rationale.“No!” she said last year, exasperated

at my offer of returning to the way it’s always been.

Her in my downstairs suite. Safe. Accessible. There.

For economy’s sake – that’s all I meant.Her firm rebuke was expected, and

respected. “I am not going to be a Mountie in my

mom’s basement.”And now that I think about it, she’s

right. There are too many transgressions.Do I really want The Law around here?On deadline mornings, I can peel out

of my parking spot at a pretty good clip without shoulder-checking (although I do have convex mirrors).

I sometimes throw newspapers in the garbage can instead of the recycling bin.

There’s loud music. Red wine at noon on weekends. And dancing. Occasionally.

Maybe it’s better this way.When she first left, I used to think the

ghosts of her sounds and scents and images were doppelgangers, destined to haunt me with what was and will never be again.

Now, I recognize them for what they are: precious memories – blessings – of which, I am sure there will be many more.

A bouquet of complimentsEditor:

I come from a city that had no trees.

Nothing from horizon to horizon, which is 40 miles where the Earth begins to curve. The only visible feature was a pile of buffalo bones left by aboriginal hunters, and so the future city site was called Pile of Bones.

Today, that city has more than 300,000 trees but each one was hand-planted, nurtured and many are protected.

On these lush spring mornings in White Rock, I am in wonder how I came to walking down the ravine trails surrounded by trees and the sounds of birds to come out on the beach with eagles fighting off crows over a Marine Drive rejuvenated with pedestrian lights, crosswalks and new curbs and sidewalks all the way up the Hump.

My slog up our free workout, called Oxford Street, passes new retaining walls on Upper Roper and back to Ruth Johnson Park where the old curling rink is being demolished for a $6-million Centre for Active Living. The project sign reveals this is a collaboration of various governments and infrastructure money.

It is remarkable that a city with only a $29-million budget can accomplish so much to incrementally move forward.

I am beginning to compose a bouquet of compliments to the administration, mayor and council when, at my seaside coffee shop I open the Peace Arch News to see everybody angry at something, somebody, or just venting.

White Rock, take a deep cleansing breath and thank heaven this is not Pile of Bones.Larry Robinson, White Rock

Divided over HST opinions Editor: Re: Vander Zalm’s lemmings head towards cliff, April 21.

Columnist Tom Fletcher really hit the nail on the head when he wrote about the HST.

There are a couple things that need to be said:

First, people demand services from the government; and that being said means we have to pay for them somehow.

Secondly, we are already paying the GST and PST and they add up to 12 per cent; that being said with the HST means we will be paying the same amount as before.

And yes, we will pay on some things we didn’t pay on before, and, of course, some that we won’t.

Most importantly, the B.C. government will be saving the taxpayers millions in not having to pay the administrative costs of collecting the PST, ergo money that can be used for education, healthcare and other programs.

Lastly, I amazed anyone pays any attention to anything Bill Vander Zalm has to say.

Have they forgotten why he was driven from office?

No one likes paying taxes, but the HST will be much better for the citizens of B.C. than the old GST and PST collected separately.Bill Phelps, Surrey

I’d like to echo the sentiment of hundreds of thousands of B.C. residents, in particular, the people in this Lower Mainland area who are fed up with both the federal and provincial governments who continually have their hands in our pockets for another tax handout.

Politicians maintain, “hidden PST will be eliminated saving B.C. businesses $2 billion resulting in more investment, jobs, higher wages and lower prices.” What they don’t emphasize is they’ll unhide the PST all right and lump it into an HST.

They say there will or should be less administration costs – $30 million – but the B.C. consumer will pay a lot more for their hydro, gas, meals and a host of other goods and services that they don’t have added taxation on now. And as far as consumers eventually paying less, the old phrase of “when pigs fly” comes to mind.

Our politicians appear to be spending well beyond their – our – means and then coming to the public for a bailout with yet another regressive piggy back tax.

Enough is enough. When they are making their $120,000-150,000

and more, with generous expense accounts, they don’t seem to mind.

It is bad enough we have to endure the GST brought in by the Conservatives. The electorate voted 98 per cent of them out, as I recall, when these politicians did not listen.

This HST, which will add new taxation on a variety of goods and services, is a regressive tax and certainly will not be “revenue neutral.” We will all pay more for a host of goods and services.

Think about holding those accountable for the introduction of the HST in B.C., and particularly in this political riding area.

We should all defeat the HST.A. White, Surrey

Past feedback was ignoredEditor: Re: ‘Poor response’ stalls free parking, April 28.

I was flabbergasted by the story regarding how White Rock councillors are disappointed with the lack of businesses’ response to their city-funded survey regarding parking on Marine Drive in the winter months.

Their disappointment in not receiving feedback from the 82 businesses seems to be contradictory to their position regarding the feedback they have received from residents regarding our White Rock Fire Department.

A private petition/survey of residents, carried out by members of White Rock Firefighters Union, auxiliary/volunteer firefighters, as well as many private citizens, received 5,400 signatures to keep their existing fire department.

More citizens signed the petition than voted in the last civic election.

Coun. Al Campbell stated in the article, “It’s a two-way street,” but council’s seeming determination to discount the feedback of its citizens in the matter of the fire department makes me wonder if it really is.

Coun. Helen Fathers stated, “If I were championing a cause… I’d be on it.” Ninety-five per cent of Fathers immediate neighbours signed the petition to keep the existing White Rock fire service. Is she really representing the people that voted her in?

How about Coun. Lynne Sinclair’s statement: “This is a data-driven decision.” Well, the data and facts are in; we will lose more than gain by giving up our own White Rock Fire Department in response times, community involvement by White Rock firefighters and the charities they support, not to mention the dedication by its auxiliary/volunteers, some who have more than 30 years of service.

If certain councillors are so concerned about feedback, listen to all of it, on all issues.

Perhaps they city should run a funded survey to get feedback from all its citizens regarding the subject of our existing fire department.H. & R, Kiesewetter, White Rock

Schools with qualified teacher-librarians – and well-stocked libraries – help students, writes Daryl Sturdy.

Editor: Re: Counsellors head to class, April 30.

This is another example of the misplaced priorities of Gordon Campbell’s Liberal government.

Billions were found for the Olympics and various associated projects, yet the government cannot find $12 million to prevent the reduction of services to Surrey students.

This $12 million is a fraction of a per cent of the districts budget. What is the inflation rate these days?

Even in the “boom” times of the Liberal’s first two terms in office, education was underfunded, so don’t believe their promises that funding will be restored in better economic times.

As a retired teacher-librarian, I have seen the steady erosion in the funding and the staffing of school libraries in B.C. over the years.

Now, Surrey school district is being forced to cut the equivalent of eight more teacher-librarian positions.

In a district like Surrey, with the high number of children of immigrant families, this is particularly distressing, as it means an erosion of the literacy services provided by trained teacher-librarians.

The loss of these teacher-librarian positions affects not only English-as-a-second-language students, but all students.

Study after study has shown that students in schools with qualified teacher-librarians and a well-stocked library do better than students in schools without these services.

Where are the voices of Surrey’s Liberal MLAs? They were elected to be our representatives, not to be

silent rubber stamps of a misguided government.Daryl Sturdy, White Rock

An erosion of literacy services


And she has left no small mark at Laronde, where she taught choir and directed the school’s much-anticipated spring musicals.

“She’s the most musical, organized, creative person, while still being able to have fun,” says Harrison Pope, an ex-student of Bennett’s who played Jafar in last year’s production of Aladdin. “She has impacted everyone at Laronde. It’s very difficult to see... how she’s doing now.”

Bennett was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) in February 2009, about six months after symptoms began. At the time, the thought she could have a terminal illness never entered her mind. Given her years of playing piano, carpal tunnel syndrome seemed the logical explanation.

ALS is a far-from-kind disease, one that quickly – progressively – destroys the body while leaving its victim’s mind unscathed. It attacks motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the muscles. The muscles eventually die, robbing patients of the ability to walk, talk, even breathe.

A year ago, Bennett was still running at Centennial Park with her friend and colleague, Amanda Myring. These days, Bennett uses a walker to get around at home, can’t use her hands and has difficulty speaking clearly and swallowing.

Most ALS sufferers live three to five years after diagnosis; some live only three to six months. In rare cases – like that of physicist Stephen Hawking – life, though progressively challenging, continues for decades.

Bennett, the mother to two teenage boys, is determined to beat the odds.

“Not gonna beat me,” she beams, noting her mom has survived 40 years with multiple sclerosis.

Bennett is also determined to make the ALS journey easier for others. A concert to celebrate Bennett was held April 27 at Laronde. It raised $8,400 for the ALS Society of B.C. to benefit research and patient support.

Living with ALS, as it progresses,

is not cheap. A simple brace that offers wrist support costs about $55; a digitized voice machine that speaks when sufferers can no longer speak for themselves is about $10,000.

The ALS Society loans equipment free-of-charge but, given the cost, has only a limited supply.

Bennett is fortunate in that her family can afford what can’t be borrowed, but she knows there are those with fewer resources.

In addition to raising funds, last week’s concert featured performances by 32 current and former students, including Bennett’s oldest son, Scott.

True to her rule to never play favourites, Bennett won’t comment on what the best part was. If her students were to hear she thinks one was better than another, they’d be devastated, Bennett notes, choosing to answer more diplomatically.

“Every performance, I had a tear,” she says, glancing over at Scott, who played original music with his band. “Sometimes, I had to look down.”

In a letter read to the audience by 14-year-old Pope, Bennett said the outpouring of support has been overwhelming. Flowers, cards, meals and offers of expertise are among the deliveries to her South Surrey home.

“I feel fortunate to live in a place that has allowed me to feel that I am not facing these challenges alone,” she said in the prepared statement.

Myring said her friend’s experience, and how she chooses to face it, has changed her own outlook on life.

“It makes you really value your relationships with people,” Myring says. “Living with someone who is terminally ill, you look at death differently. People feel sorry because she’s dying, but there’s no guarantee the rest of us are going to outlive her.

“You just have to be thankful for what you have today…”

For Bennett, that includes sharing her passion for piano. She began giving Myring lessons in March.

True to form, Bennett encourages Myring every note of the way.

“You can play,” she tells Myring. “I like it.”

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Kash Heed has “stepped aside” again, just hours after being reinstated as Minis-ter of Public Safety and Solici-tor General by Premier Gordon Campbell.

Heed said Wednesday morning he reconsidered overnight after the special prosecutor investi-gating his local election cam-paign suddenly withdrew from the case.

Vancouver lawyer Terrence Robertson cleared Heed of any involvement in Election Act violations on Monday, then dis-closed Tuesday that his law firm had donated to the Vancouver-Fraserview B.C. Liberal cam-paign last spring.

Belatedly acknowledging that as a conflict of interest, Robertson withdrew from the prosecution of Heed’s campaign manager and financial agent and a third man in connection with an anti-NDP pamphlet that violated Election Act laws.

Calling the prosecutor’s actions “bizarre,” Heed said he spoke to Campbell Wednesday morning to tell him he was stepping down again.

Reached by phone Wednesday from his trade visit to Belgium, Campbell said he acted appro-priately based on the decision on

charges received from the special prosecutor on Monday.

“After giving it 24 hours – we had the report, we read the report – I felt there had been time for anyone who had any concerns in criminal justice [branch] or the attorney general or anywhere to raise those issues,” Campbell said. “None were raised and I felt that it was appropriate to reap-point.”

Heed was sworn in by Lieuten-ant Governor Stephen Point on Tuesday evening, but after get-

ting home to Vancouver he said he discussed the matter with his wife and reconsidered.

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth called the latest twist “extremely disturbing.”

“Right from when the allega-tions broke, we’ve seen denial by Mr. Heed that his campaign would be involved,” Farnworth said.

“We’ve seen no acknowledg-ment by the premier of the seri-ousness of these allegations, we’ve seen no remorse whatsoever.”

Surrey council passed a bylaw Monday banning the cosmetic use of chemical pesticides.

Except in extremely rare cases, chemicals used to control pests will be restricted in Surrey on both private and publicly owned land.

It’s been a long battle for the Surrey and White Rock Pesti-cide-free Coalition, which began lobbying Surrey for such a bylaw three years ago.

Several other groups joined force, putting significant pres-sure on Surrey to act.

The bylaw provides exemp-tions for situations where Sur-rey doesn’t have the regulatory authority.

The exemptions include: agri-

culture and forestry operations; controlling noxious needs (as defined under the Weed Act); controlling pests in or on build-ings, structures and hard land-scaping; managing outbreaks of introduced invasive exotic or for-eign pests; managing pests that threaten sensitive ecosystems; purifying water used for human or animal consumption; and responding to human or animal health issues.

Coalition members say they are thrilled with having the bylaw finally pass.

Melodie Tomiyama, co-chair of the coalition’s research and edu-cation team, expressed gratitude about the move.

“We’re pleased that Surrey’s

children will be able to play on pesticide-free lawns and gar-dens,” said Tomiyama.

Natasha Raey, of the Canadian Cancer Society, was also sup-portive of the move.

“There are alternatives to pes-ticides used on lawns, home gar-dens, parks and playing fields,” Raey said. “Why would we take a risk with the health of our chil-dren and families?”

Raey also noted that the pro-vincial government is consider-ing province-wide action.

“We encourage the public to visit www.cancer.ca/bc/advocate to send an email to their MLA, urging strong cosmetic pesticide legislation.”

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter

First United Church is the backdrop for many of Gordon and Muriel Kring’s

fondest memories, from the weddings of all three of their children to congregation picnics and camping trips.

The couple has been active in the church since marrying and building their White Rock home in the ’60s, and have seen their kids and seven grandchildren baptized by its ministers.

Having had a hand in First United activities ever since – they served on the board of stewards, church council and Christian education committee – it’s no

surprise the Krings are participating in its 100th anniversary celebrations.

The Krings have contributed to a Memories Booklet made up of submissions by church

members, will help plant 100 trees on the Peninsula and plan to attend Homecoming Service this Sunday for all past and present members.

The milestone anniversary is especially meaningful to the Krings, as their familial ties to the church predate even their own involvement. Gordon’s parents, Grace and Sam Kring, joined First United in 1952, when it was located on Fir Street, prior to its current Semiahmoo Avenue location.

Gordon still remembers the congregation celebrating the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Canada at Redwood Park, and his 94-year-old mother – the oldest person at the event – being invited to cut the cake.

The Krings continued the tradition of attending services with their own children, who performed in the choir, musicals and pageants.

“They’ve been in the church since they were babies,” said

Muriel, who taught Sunday school while they were growing up.

Muriel recalled how church members would regularly gather for potlucks, which tended to end with mountains of dishes to be washed by hand.

“It always seemed, somehow, we were always doing dishes,” she said, smiling.

Muriel said church members

are a family, and not only support one another – such as when they offered to cater at her daughter’s wedding – but also give back to the community at large.

The Krings have volunteered at weekly seniors hot lunches, the youth outreach program, the Social Justice Film Festival and church participation in the Relay for Life, among other initiatives.

“Wherever you need us, we’re willing to help,” Gordon said.

“The more you put into life, the more you get out of it,” Muriel added.

As longtime members of First United, the Krings have also witnessed its changes, such as the dissolution of potluck dinners.

“There used to be more of that sort of thing.” Gordon said.

“People’s lifestyles are different. There used to be more community events.”

Muriel also noted a change in membership numbers, and recalled the church being so packed at one time, the family needed to arrive 45 minutes early for services, and extra chairs had to be set up along the side of the chapel.

“It’s sad to see the enrolment go down, and yet we don’t dwell on that because the church family is still there,” she said.

While some changes have been difficult to get used to – such as the introduction of audio-visual equipment in the chapel – other advancements have been more than welcome.

“One thing we adjusted very well to was the new... dishwasher,” Muriel laughed.

Brian Giebelhaus photoGordon and Muriel Kring will join other members of White Rock’s First United Church in celebrating the church’s 100th anniversary.

Centenarian celebrationsFirst United Church’s 100th anniversary is being

recognized in a number of ways, including a Homecoming Service May 9 at the church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave., featuring the chancel and youth choirs, and followed by a finger-food potluck and cake. The congregation is invited to wear an outfit or hat reflecting one of the decades of the church.

Other celebration plans include the planting of 100 trees on the Peninsula; the planting of a three-graft apple tree (representing the union of

the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches to form the United Church of Canada in 1925) in May; the distribution of 100 gift baskets throughout the year; a compilation of church members’ recollections in a Memories Booklet; a fall fashion show featuring outfits from the various decades; and two banners, designed and stitched by Anne Pettersson, and now hanging on either side of the church chancel.

On April 24, 480 guests attended the sold-out

Partners in Caring Gala and raised $191,500 for Peace Arch Hospital.

It was a tremendous evening, and I could easily fill this column by focusing on the money. We raised a full 30 per cent more than last year.

I could praise the outstanding work of the gala committee, led by Meryll Dreyer. And I could talk about the gourmet meal, the program, the auction, all of which were exceptional.

But I am going to direct our attention to why we were in the room on April 24.

We were there because people in our community – like Steve Heim – have heart attacks. We were there because people like Claire Langley need emergency care and surgery after being hit by a car while crossing the street. And we were there because people like Graham and Kim Voth choose to start their families here.

I appreciate that ours is a community hospital. Its welcoming size is one of the things that makes it special.

But if we want

big-city services we have to invest. If we want world-calibre specialists to practise here, we have to create an environment that attracts them. In 2007, Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation launched the $32-million Partners in Caring

Campaign. This is a significant amount to raise in a small community. But ours is a community that does big things. To date, $24.5 million has been raised.

Part of the campaign includes rebuilding our maternity ward.

When Fraser Health approached us with a request to fund a new maternity ward at Peace Arch Hospital, we didn’t hesitate.

When JoAnn Fowler learned chem-icals used in cosmetics have been linked to adverse health effects, such as cancer, birth defects and organ damage, she was shocked.

In her 25-year career as a TV and film makeup artist, she had been put-ting such substances on her clients’ bodies.

It wasn’t until four years ago, when an actress she was working with asked to wear paraben-free makeup, that Fowler starting researching.

She learned how parabens – chemi-cals used as preservatives in cosmet-ics – have been said to cause repro-ductive abnormalities, increased risk of breast cancer and damage to the nervous and immune systems, among other complications.

Fowler read on about other agents, such as phthalate – which holds colour and scents in cosmetics and has been linked to disruptions in hormonal systems – and dimethicone – which is used to make makeup feel smoother, and has been connected to organ tumours.

“The information I found out... really depressed me, and I didn’t feel like I could be a makeup artist anymore,” she said, noting she was unsuccessful in finding an effective natural alterna-tive. “I couldn’t find any makeup that would stand up to the demands of a Hollywood actress.”

So she made her own.Fowler joined forces with a lab,

where scientists helped her develop products – including eyeshadow and liner, lipstick and gloss, blush, foun-dation and concealer – free of syn-thetic chemicals.

“They came up with the preserva-tive formula, I came up with the colourations,” she said.

Fowler tried out prototypes on her actor clients – “I always say test on movie stars, not on animals” – before launching the line on the Internet in the winter of 2008, then in stores in spring 2009. Sappho Cosmetics are preserved with organic essential oils instead of parabens, have eco-friendly packaging and don’t use products from China.

lessening our footprint as we go along.”

Fowler’s venture caught the attention of five Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 11 students, who are competing in national entrepreneurial challenge Impact Microcredit for a chance to win thousands of dollars in scholarships.

The group received a $100-microloan through competition organizer Impact Entrepreneurship Group, with the task of turning it into as much money as possible in 10 days.

“We (had) to come up with something that reaches out to our community,” Tiffany Chiu said.

When the group decided to promote chemical-free makeup, they started researching, and learned about Fowler.

“(We thought) maybe she could provide some products and education to young women at the same time.”

Fowler said she was brought to tears when the students asked her to present at their school.

“It’s my journey to try to educate people... and learn about what these chemicals are and what they do, and have some awareness about what you’re putting in your body,” she said.

The Vancouverite made the trip to South Surrey last week,

standing before a group of mostly young girls in the high school’s library during lunch time.

She discussed the effects of chemical makeup, before demonstrating a makeover on a volunteer and testing girls for the right foundation colour.

Chiu and her fellow group members collected orders for the products, which Fowler provided at cost.

All the profits the Semi group collects will go to charity, Chiu said.

“We’re hoping to raise a few hundred dollars.”

Fowler – who, up to this point, had been raising awareness amongst her colleagues and clients – said the school appearance is a significant step in reaching out to youth, who are a large demographic of makeup users.

She plans to continue spreading the word about harmful ingredients in cosmetics, and eventually expand her line to include other goods frequented by chemicals, such as body lotions and bath products.

“It’s quite serious – it’s not just another green fad,” she said. “I’m just trying to do what I can do and am just trying to educate people.”

It’s her new career.For more information

Christine Algard thought her mom was young when, at 30 years old, she was diagnosed with myeloma.

So, when cancerous cells were found on the cervix of one of Algard’s best friends, she was even more taken aback – Sara Zanotto was just 22, the same age as Algard.

“You realize you’re not free from it; it can affect anyone,” she said.

“It totally opened my eyes to it.”

Four years after Zanotto’s abnormal cells were spotted and subsequently removed with surgery, Algard is now gearing up for this summer’s Underwear Affair in a show of support for her friend, who – thanks in part to early detec-tion – is healthy and cancer-free, like Algard’s mother.

The annual event encourages the public to participate in a 10-kilometre run or five-km walk to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation while spreading awareness about cancers below the belt, such as prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical and uterine.

Algard, a South Surrey resi-dent, has joined team G Spots

in Polka Dots, which is made up of Zanotto and her sister and three friends.

They plan to dress up for the July 10 fundraiser by wear-

ing polka-dot underwear over their shorts.

And the team will be opting for the run, Algard noted.

“Some of us did a 10-km in

November. Some of us finished just under an hour.”

While she has participated in other charity events, Algard said none have been on as large a scale as the Underwear Affair.

“I’ve never done anything this big.”

But before G Spots in Polka Dots can lace up their runners for the race, they have to raise funds.

As of this week, they had reached 37 per cent of their $3,100 collection goal, and made the list of Underwear Affair’s top 10 fundraising teams.

Faced with a cost of $300 each to participate, the team will now host a Polka Dot Party May 15 from 3 to 11 p.m. at 18177 Ford Rd., in Pitt Mead-ows.

Algard said they will serve hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit and veggies, and host a toonie toss, tractor rides and bake sale upon donation to their cam-paign.

There will also be a prize for best polka dot costume, as well as a raffle draw.

RSVP by May 7 to [email protected]

No quenching world’s thirstI’m sorry, but my final note

on my series of columns on water is rather pessimistic.

From this fortunate region, it’s not easy to grasp the extent of the world’s water problems. But

one should “think locally, act globally.”

More than one billion people live where water is scarce now and, slowly but steadily, the situation is deteriorating.

What can, or should, we do?

Awareness is the first step.

There are several reasons.To simple population

increase is added the effects of increasing affluence, with consequent greater demands – think Brazil, China and India - and of concentration in cities with difficulties in providing potable water and sanitation. Historic lack of investment and inadequate management are other factors which show up in polluted waterways, diminishing stream flow and depleted aquifers.

Also, while there’s no certainty about the impact of climate change, the omens are not goo: altered and reduced rainfall in regions already dry, such as southwestern states in the U.S. and the Mediterranean basin; and lessened flow of melt-water from glaciers, with the serious consequence of reduced food production as well as less accessibility for domestic and industrial uses.

What can be done? Desalination can alleviate local

shortages but it is both energy-intensive and expensive. And though technology is improving, it produces a only small fraction of global consumption, less than 0.01 per cent.

Better use of available supplies

sounds like an obvious response, and it has merit but it’s hard to imagine that a woman who has walked many hot kilometres to fetch water for her family will be profligate in its use.

Improved irrigation techniques can be introduced through demonstration and support programs implemented at the local level.

Provision of wells or boreholes has been seen to bring with it the real danger of over-grazing in the immediate vicinity as domestic animal herds congregate around water sources.

The engineering ‘solution’ must therefore be coupled with an effective grazing management scheme, sometimes socially and culturally difficult, if it is to work.

We should recognize that by importing foods, we are also importing water- it’s now labelled ‘virtual water’ – quite often from dry regions.

For example, it requires about 140 litres of water to produce one cup of coffee, and the embedded water in soybeans is 2,700 cubic metres for each ton. For one ton of beef it’s an astonishing 13,500 cubic metres; pork and poultry are better at about 4,000 cubic metres/ton.

Energy production, too, needs water: renewable sources have very modest requirements while nuclear and oil use less than five cubic metres to generate a megawatt hour of power; hydropower’s need approaches 70 cubic metres for the same power; the real culprit is biofuel with a demand of 178 cubic metres – and that says nothing about lost food production which will have to be made up elsewhere.

We are much better off than many – perhaps most – other people. In fact, Canada could be said to have water to spare.

That raises the question, which I’ve asked before, of how we’ll react when we are asked to share our surplus. How much, if any, under what conditions dare we export; what commitments will we accept, under what regulations?

Federally and provincially, there should be frank, unbiased and open discussion to reach an acceptable decision. At the same time, we should think carefully about how we can best help other regions.

The “I’m alright, Jack,” attitude just won’t do.

Heather Crawford had no idea what to expect when she entered the Clown

Olympics at last month’s World Clown Association Convention.

And that’s a scary prospect when you’re dealing with someone with an imagination far bigger than the metallic-purple eyelashes her character Korki the Clown is known for.

So when she walked away with a gold medal after competing against clowns around the world in the talent closest to her clown heart – Advanced Balloon – it’s no surprise the smile therapist is beaming just a little bigger these days.

“It’s my year,” Crawford said. “Everything is falling into suit.”

Crawford travelled to Winnipeg for the April 18-23 convention, where she joined nearly 200 clowns from as far away as Japan, India and Puerto Rico for workshops, camaraderie, constructive criticism and competition. While there, Crawford also became certified as a Caring Clown, through a workshop led by Richard Snowberg, who is considered the Patch Adams of clowns.

For her medal-winning event, Crawford had one hour to bring four balloon recipes to life. With

her iPod piping beach-themed music through her headphones, and envisioning herself on the beach in White Rock, she twisted, pinched and shaped a four-turtle train, Disney’s Arial being pulled

by a seahorse, a giant sea turtle and a two-foot cockatoo on a stand.

“I just went into my own zone,” Crawford said. “It was one of the most fun events, because it was

my element.”Later, she slept with her gold

medal.Crawford, who is now Western

Canada director for the clown association, described the win as

the highest accolade she could receive for her art.

She donned her first red nose 26 years ago, and began honing her balloon-twisting soon after. There’s just something magical about it, she explained of her passion for twisting.

“It makes me happy. Whether it’s an adult’s or a child’s imagination... we can create together. It allows us to just be in the moment.”

The trick is knowing how much to inflate each balloon, she said, as every twist uses a half-inch.

Crawford is determined to keep the art alive. She is planning a four-day workshop locally for next year; does “balloon jamming” at Small Rituals Coffeehouse twice a month; and is a strong supporter of nurturing clowning in children, “so we’ll have never-ending smiles.”

Those who spot Korki around town these days may notice the auguste (flesh-faced) clown has had a bit of a makeover – something else she brought home as a result of advice from her colleagues at the convention.

But while the white muzzle around her mouth and chin is gone – along with her red nose – she promises Korki is still Korki.

“The heart is still in the right place, the face has just changed a little bit.”

VICTORIA – What is the dogwood of dinosaurs?

B.C. paleontologists have suggested designating a pro-vincial fossil symbol to help people appreciate the rich geo-logical record that is still being discovered.

The provincial government has embraced the idea and is seeking suggestions for B.C.’s official fossil, to join the dog-wood, the Stellar’s jay and the Kermode bear. Suggestions are being invited until July 2 at the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands.

B.C. has thousands of fossil sites, many of which have had little or no exploration, said Richard Hebda, a paleobotanist and curator of Earth history at the Royal B.C. Museum. An exhibit of B.C. fossil finds and their implications for species and climate change is to open at the Victoria museum at the end of June.

Fossil fans will also be asked for their input on a new man-agement framework to deter-mine how fossils are collected and used, how discoveries are reported, who is responsible for the protection of sites and artifacts, and whether they can be exported.

One of B.C.’s most significant fossil finds is the Burgess Shale

in the Rocky Mountains near Field.

Discovered in 1909, it con-tains fossils from the Cam-brian era more than 500 mil-lion years ago, and has been designated a World Heritage Site.

Energy Minister Blair Lek-

strom described a more recent discovery, dinosaur trackways near Tumbler Ridge in north-eastern B.C. that were found by two boys exploring in 2000.

Further exploration has unearthed what may be an entire dinosaur skeleton, and an expanded “dinosaur discov-

ery gallery” is opening this month at the Peace Region Paleontology Research Centre in Tumbler Ridge.

A link to participate in the public consultation can be found at the Ministry of Agri-culture and Lands website, www.gov.bc.ca/al/

One of the highlights of White Rock Christian Academy’s version of

Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat (continuing tonight, Friday, May 7 at 7 p.m., in the school’s gymnasium, 2265 152 St.) is the musical theatre debut of the school’s highly-ranked boys basketball squad.

Led by captain Eli Mara (in the role of Ruben), team members play the rambunctious and resentful brothers who torment and betray Joseph (Sun Kwon Song) and sell him into slavery in an Egypt ruled by a flamboyant Pharaoh (Travis Rea).

It’s not the first time they’ve sung in public – White Rock Christian rules make it mandatory for all senior students to be involved in the music program.

Mara said the key to getting the basketball team on-side for musical ventures such as Joseph – which also helped in engaging the rest of the school population – was the genuine interest and support school choral director Sarona Mynhardt offered in attending games during provincial championships.

“She was out cheering for us – after that, there was no way we’d miss a choir practice,” Mara said. “At the start, in Grade 8, music was my enemy. I was out to get music – but I’ve

enjoyed everything we’ve done this year with the choir. And when it comes to performing there are a lot of similarities to being in a game, with everyone watching you.”

His natural sense of leadership with the team has now extended to pre-performance pep talks, such as the one he gave the boys choir just before its first public performance at Christmastime.

It’s also been a new experience for him and more athletically-

inclined students being involved in a production with more theatre-oriented students, such as Samara Ripley – a veteran of White Rock Children’s Choir and Impromptu Theatre productions with Mynhardt, who plays one of the narrators in Joseph.

“We’re learning a lot and picking up on things they do,” Mara said.

“There’s definitely a lot of mutual respect,” Ripley said. “Everyone in the school is so close and the grades are so supportive of one another.”

Most of the school population – more than 400 students from kindergarten to Grade 12 – is on stage for the mega-production, directed by Mynhardt, with assistance from her choreographer and daughter Maderi, accompanist Janet Rendell, costumer extraordinary Jo-Anne Beers and elementary music teacher Gord McLeod.

Tickets are available from the school office at 604-531-9186.

How do you follow a smashing success, as well as provide a pre-Mother’s Day treat?

The answer, for popular local jazz singer, actor and musical theatre teacher Wendy Bollard, is to put on a show with a strong ‘family’ feeling, just before the international celebration of motherhood .

The concert, tomorrow night (Saturday, May 8, at 8 p.m. Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) is a followup to her triumphant Music In The Theatre series performance for White Rock Players Club last year, in which Bollard ably demonstrated the many moods of jazz – from mellow all the way to electrifying.

The familial sense of the upcoming

concert starts with the band.Pianist Tilden Webb is married to bassist

Jody Proznick (who grew up on the Peninsula). And the drummer, Jesse Cahill,

is married to Jody’s sister, Kelly.But the concert also feels like

extended family, too. Guest singer and guitarist Brandon Isaak (of jump-swing-blues dynamos The Twisters) is a friend of Bollard’s husband, Andy Sorensen. And guest vocalist, and fellow jazz diva, Laura Crema, was a featured artist at one of the Blue Lizard nights at the Waldorf Hotel some 10 years ago – the occasion of Bollard’s and Sorensen’s first date.

“She’s my favourite Vancouver jazz vocalist, no question,” Bollard said. “There have been times when I’ve been driving and have put on the CBC – like the time I heard

a version of a Fats Waller’s Honeysuckle Rose that was absolutely amazing, and I’m wondering ‘who is this singer?’ – and the announcer says: ‘That was Laura Crema’ and I’m thinking ‘of course.’

“I also got to know her at Vancouver Community College when I went to music school. She was choreographing the musical-theatre class – she’s also an amazing dancer. And we’ve both performed with Lache Cercel (Vancouver-based violinist and leader of the Roma Swing Ensemble).”

Bollard is also looking forward to the contribution of Isaak – which promises to be typically powerful – to the proceedings.

“Brandon is going to bring a whole different dimension to this. He’s a tremendous showman and a fantastic musician, and Brandon and Jesse have also worked together before – it’s going to be a

fun night.”She’s also anticipating working with her

favourite backup band, she said, adding that Webb, a gifted and versatile keyboardist, is also a great listener.

“I sometimes find it difficult to communicate what it is I want to people who are more musically learned than myself, but with Tilden I can sing a few bars and he gets it right away.”

Proznick and Cahill are also excellent sidemen, because they understand that part of their function is to add sensitive support to whoever the soloist is, Bollard said.

“That’s the thing with really talented people like Tilden and Jody and Jesse – when you’re that talented you don’t have to make people feel small.”

Bollard’s singing chops and way with a jazz standard are never less than impressive,

A Cloverdale-based perform-ing arts troupe and the historic Clova Cinema are teaming up for something a little different for this year’s rodeo.

They’re calling it Vaudeville and a Movie.

For three days during Surrey’s biggest annual event, the Versa-tiles will perform daily variety shows at the landmark 176 Street cinema, along with a presenta-tion of a family-friendly movie matinee, May 22, 23, and 24.

“We’re hoping to fill the theatre for the three afternoons,” says Susie Francis, the enthusiastic director of The Versatiles, a Clo-verdale-based group that’s been performing together for about 3½ years now.

The Versatiles put on about 18 shows last year at seniors homes and residences in Surrey and Langley, plus two birthday par-ties.

“People love what we do,” Fran-cis says. “Vaudeville isn’t dead. The humour, the music, it’s all still alive.”

Francis founded the Versatiles in 2005. She’s spent her life in the theatre, and clearly loves the vaudeville tradition, which encompasses singing, dancing, comedy and – in the case of Vaudeville and a Movie – includes

dog and horse acts, the latter supplied by her two teenaged grandsons, who have willingly volunteered their talents.

The group’s full-time members are all seniors. Not all of them have a performing arts back-ground.

“In general, it’s people that always wanted to perform,” Fran-cis says.

Members include Norma Cow-ley, an 85-year-old stunt woman in B.C.’s TV and film indus-try, and Doug Armstrong, an 88-year-old musician.

New members are welcome. Experience in the performing

arts isn’t necessary, she says, but a willing to ham it up is.

“I just ask them pertinent ques-tions, like are you crazy?” jokes Francis. “If they sing and dance, great.”

The performers rehearse Mon-days from noon to 2 p.m. at the Cloverdale Legion.

If you want to try out, drop by. There’s no fee to join. “You just have to commit to being there.”

Admission to Vaudeville and a Movie will be $5. Shows will start at 1:30 p.m. during the 2010 Clo-verdale Rodeo and Exhibition, May 22, 23, and 24.

Proceeds go to charity.

If you see the signs for Fla-menco del Mar Spanish Dance troupe’s Mother’s Day show at Ocean Park Community Hall this Sunday (May 9, 3-5 p.m.), don’t walk past.

The South Surrey-based stu-dio’s annual celebration at the hall (1577 128 St.) is definitely open to the public – and it’s planned for just the right timing not to compete with Mother’s Day brunch or evening plans.

“This is about the fourth or fifth time we’ve done it, but we haven’t really promoted it,” said Flamenco del Mar founder and artistic director Jill Tunbridge.

“It’s good fun, but it’s disap-pointing when some people think it’s a closed concert.

Highlighting this year’s coffee, tea and dessert event will be the performance of Tunbridge with two special guest stars: Gerardo Alcala – one of the most rec-ognized and respected flamenco guitarists this side of Spain – and noted cantaora (flamenco singer) Jafelin Heltin.

In addition to other perfor-mances by studio dancers, the afternoon will also be high-lighted by the debut of a ‘flamenco doll’ cake specially created by chef Sarah Wolfolk of South Surrey’s Red Rose Restaurant.

The Mother’s Day presentation is always a much more relaxed affair than the September recital, Tunbridge said, and is ideal for an all-ages crowd – just as the dancers themselves range in age from six to their 50s.

It’s also a chance for the unini-tiated to gain understanding, in a relatively intimate setting, of the passionate yet graceful tradi-

tional Spanish dance form.“Some people call the studio

about classes and end up talking about salsa,” Tunbridge noted.

“They don’t really know what it’s all about. This is a way to take a look and be part of the energy in the room – it’s really contagious.”

Tunbridge said it’s an added pleasure to be able to help keep the spark of flamenco burning

with the help of art-ists of the stature of Alcala and Heltin, who have won inter-national admiration even from notori-ously clannish fla-menco purists.

“When you get someone like Gerardo – he’s ded-icated his entire life to this. He’s never surrendered. It’s really all he does – and 10 seconds into a song, you know it’s the real thing; you can tell it’s his lifelong passion.”

Born in the U.S., Alcala has lived in Spain and played guitar with the gypsies who originated flamenco – and gained the ulti-

mate accolade of being accepted.“He’s a fabulous guitar player

and singer – almost like the Ninja of the guitar. There are some people who believe you have to be born into this – but he’s as close as you can get with-out being born into a flamenco family.”

The Argentine-born Hilton has also inspired Tunbridge with the same sense of authenticity.

“Years ago Pirouz Ebadypour put on a show in Vancouver and I was dancing in it. Jafelin was there backstage and she started as I was putting on my makeup – feeding me her energy, getting my fire going.

“I came out on stage as if I were on fire – it’s the only dance I’ve done that my sister Rhona (a member of the Flamenco del Mar troupe) cried at.”

Tunbridge said it was an instance where she felt she had truly reached the state of inspired momentum known as Duende.

“She could see me dancing and felt something electric,” she said.

Tickets ($12) are available from 604-542-2096 or at the door.

of course. And the upcoming concert is sure to win her new fans, just as last year’s show did.

While she’s chronically resistant to finalizing her playlist, expect her warm approach to bring life to some jazz and Broadway evergreens.

The Billie Holiday classic God Bless The Child was a strong contender tomorrow’s concert at the time she chatted with the Peace Arch News.

It’s been covered a lot of times, Bollard said, but not always by people who know that the song started life as the result of a conflict Holiday had with her mother – something Bollard is beginning to relate to, as the mother of a 13-year-old.

“I always like to look up the history of tunes – I don’t like to perform a tune I don’t understand,” she said.

“And what God Bless The Child is really saying is those who have been given gifts and use them shall receive in abundance.”

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

For the fourth year in a row, Ocean Athletics track and field club will host World Athletics Day at South Surrey Athletic Park, inviting hundreds of the area’s top young athletes to the Peninsula for a one-day event.

More than 300 high school-aged athletes – most from Lower Mainland clubs, but also from Vancouver Island and Washing-ton – will take part in the track showcase Wednesday, May 12,

from 1-7 p.m.This year’s meet will feature a

plethora of events – “a full slate,” said Ocean Athletics’ Gabrielle Walkow – including the 100, 200, 400 and 800-metre runs and both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

A pair of showcase events, the mile run and 100-m invi-tational, will be staged later in the day. Last year, the boys’ mile run, won by Elgin Park’s Luc Bruchet capped off the event. Bruchet, now at UBC, was eight

seconds faster than White Rock Christian Academy’s Carl John-ston.

This year, both a boys’ and girls’ mile will be staged.

In addition to action on the track, plenty will be going on in the infield, too.

High jump, long jump and triple jump are all on the sched-ule, as is the discus.

New this year are two events, the hammer throw and pole vault.

More than 100 countries take

part in World Athletics Day, which aims to promote health, active living and the impor-tance of athletics to young peo-ple. Ocean Athletics first hosted event in 2007, and in 2008 they held an unofficial World Athlet-ics Day meet, but were not the official host.

Before athletes convene at SSAP for World Athletics Day, they’ll head north to Surrey’s Bear Creek Park today (Friday) for Surrey High School Track and Field Championships.

As a baker, Paul Hanley is used to baking with lemons, not necessarily

driving them.However, that’s the challenge he

and four friends will be faced with this weekend, when the quintet take turns strapping into their 1989 Volkswagen Fox at the 24 Hours of LeMons – a parody of the famous LeMans race.

This race – dubbed ‘Going for Broken’ and ‘Nasty, brutish, not short enough’ on the official website – pits barely road-worthy cars – worth no more than $500 – against each other at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, Calif. for 12 hours of racing Saturday, and another 12 hours Sunday. The team that completes the most laps wins.

“It’s pretty ridiculous – none of us have any experience, we just thought it’d be fun,” said Hanley of his team which includes fellow entrepreneurs Rob Edworthy, Jerry Strutinski, Tim Hickey and Nick Diomis.

“It’s kind of a crazy idea, but it’s just every guy’s dream to be able to drive a race car.”

The idea to enter the race – in which team members alternate driving one-hour shifts – was cooked up by Edworthy, who saw clips of LeMons races on YouTube, and proposed the idea to his pals.

“Rob came to me with this goofy idea and I agreed, and then I saw the video and thought, ‘Oh my, what have I got myself into? I just had twins; what about my wife?” laughed Hanley, who turns 40 on race weekend – the same number emblazoned on the door of the spruced-up Volkswagen.

“It sounded like a fun thing to do, not knowing how crazy and dangerous it might be… but I gave my word.”

Soon after entering the race and buying the car – which cost a whopping $300 – the team discovered that, of the 112 registered entries, they were the only Canadians. As such, they decided to go all-out in representing their country – cultural stereotypes be damned.

The five racers dubbed themselves the Flying Lumberjacks – complete with matching uniforms – and two friends, local politicians Bob Bose and Murray Weisenberger, built a large axe, which they attached to the roof of the car.

Additionally, the team plans to play street hockey at the track, and cook up 20 pounds of back bacon – donated by White Rock’s Penguin Meats – to hand out to fellow racers trackside.

“The whole thing just kept getting goofier and goofier the more we thought about it,” Hanley said. “It’s all just a spoof.”

The team spent another $200

to make the car race-worthy, and also got plenty of free help from friends at Langley Volkswagen, Hanley said.

The process took about six months, with team members working on the project “whenever we had a few spare minutes.”

Then, for good measure, they covered the car in Mactac adhesive to add to the theme.

“It looks hilarious... just ridiculous,” Hanley said. “But we’re proud Canadians, so we just went with it.”

The team’s happy-go-lucky attitude should fit in well at Thunderhill Raceway. Race organizers themselves don’t take

things too seriously. After all, the winning team receives a $1,500 grand prize – paid in nickels – and a $500 People’s Choice Award is awarded to a team after “totally unscientific, and almost certainly totally unfair, pit-side opinion and chit-chat.”

Race rules also state that any team caught “driving like idiots” will be forced to pull their car into pit lane, remove all its tires and sit for half and hour.

“And if you’re a real idiot, they’ll crush your car into a cube onsite,” Hanley noted.

It’s those driving regulations – as tongue-in-cheek as they may be – that convinced Hanley’s group

they wouldn’t be over their heads as amateur drivers.

In fact, none of the five are even big race fans. They’re just local friends and business people – Hanley owns Fieldstone Artisan Breads, Strutinski runs Willchris Kennels and Diomis works in the film industry – who decided to do “something crazy.”

“There will probably be a lot of wacky NASCAR-loving Americans down there, so some drivers might be (aggressive), but we’re just down there to have a good time,” Hanley said. “I don’t think we’ll win, but I just want to come home in one piece and not have to eat through a straw.”

Southridge Storm’s Grade 8 boys rugby team were not the most gracious of hosts last Fri-day, when the school hosted its first-ever seven-a-side rugby tournament.

Southridge’s sevens team, one of four ‘A’ squads to play in Storm Division along with other ‘A’ sides from Semiahmoo, Elgin Park and Earl Marriott, defeated EMS 22-0 in the championship tilt, with tries from Tim Ste-

phens, Sam Kim, Nico Docolas and Nick Collett.

Offensive heroics aside, the key to the win, according to South-ridge Grade 8 coach Chris Col-lett, was an aggressive defence, led by Evan Zanatta, Brian Redies and Aaron Basi. Another key player, scrumhalf Bryan Froh, was injured for the final but played well during the round-robin games, Collett added.

The four schools also fielded

four teams in a ‘B’ Hurricane Division, which was won by Earl Marriott after a 24-5 victory over the Semiahmoo Totems.

Mariner tries were scored by Liam Fordy and James Pavlich, while scrumhalf Peter Kos added a pair of conversions. Isaac Mas-lin, Riley Ford and Dragan Dejc also played well for EMS.

In total, more than 70 Peninsula rugby players from local schools took part in the one-day event.

White Rock Jr. Tritons’ runner Spencer Dolphin just beats the throw to Coquitlam first baseman Josh Fregin Sunday, during White Rock’s 5-0 win.


White Rock Jr. Tritons’ bats ran hot and cold last weekend, finishing a busy two days with an even 2-2 record in B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League action.

On Saturday on the road against the North Delta Jr. Blue Jays, the Tritons lost 4-2 despite a great performance from starting pitcher Byron Keterakis – his second start of the season – in which he lasted four-and-one-third innings, giving up just a single run.

With Keterakis out, the Blue Jays got to the Tritons’ bullpen, scoring three times, and White Rock’s bats couldn’t muster enough offence to keep pace over the final three innings.

Game 2, however, was another story altogether, as the Tritons’ hitters came alive in a 14-3 win, which ended early on account of the mercy-rule.

Shaylen Buis hit his first home run of the season and also added a double to lead the charge, while Alex Webb also went 2-for-4 at the dish.

In total, White Rock had 12 hits, six of which went for extra bases.

Buis starred on the mound, too, pitching a complete game – the second time this year he’s lasted the entire contest.

On Sunday, the Jr. Tritons split a pair of tilts with the Coquitlam Redlegs, losing the first 6-3 before bouncing

back to win 5-0 against Redleg pitcher Jeff Heidema, one of the top hurlers in the league.

In the first game, White Rock opened up an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, but couldn’t hold the lead for long – the game was tied 3-3 by the third – before Coquitlam tacked on runs in the fifth and seventh frames to complete the comeback.

Infielder Evan Douglas had all three RBI for White Rock, knocking in two with a single and another on a sacrifice fly.

In the nightcap, White Rock’s patient approach at the plate led to seven walks from Heidema, and the Tritons managed four hits in the fifth inning to extend their lead.

Adam Shumka was on the hill for White Rock, pitching a complete game while allowing just two hits and striking out seven.

Offensively, Buis had a double – his fourth of the season – and Jackson Temple had an RBI triple.

The Tritons are back in action for two games Saturday, at South Surrey Athletic Park against the Victoria Jr. Mariners.

The U19 White Rock Tritons are also back on the field this weekend with two games Saturday in Langley against the Blaze, and two more Sunday in Victoria, against the first-year Victoria Eagles.

ProfessionalsfessionalsOn The PeninsulaOn The Peninsula

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

very high success rates, dental implant treatment has become a standard of care in the treatment of edentulism ( lacking teeth).

The common method of stabilizing a denture in the early 80’s involved a two-staged approach which meant that the implants were first placed and buried under the gum tissues for a period of four to five months.

A second surgery was done to expose the implants and the implants were then brought into function. In the 90’s, I pioneered the concept of putting dental implants into immediate function in British Columbia. This technique allowed us to shorten the treatment time while eliminating the second surgery.

The result was a more comfortable experience for our patients, as well as a quicker and better result. Now the bar has risen once again. While the techniques employed in the 80’s and 90’s involved using dental implants to support a removable denture prosthesis, the state of the art technique today allows us to provide completely fixed teeth that can be accomplished in literally one hour of chair-side

time. This treatment option became available due to a convergence of the following technologies:1. Cone beam volumetric tomography, also know as CT Scan.2. Bone substitutes, which eliminated the need for bone grafts taken from the hip.3. Computer software, which allowed us to design and manufacture the components

necessary to increase the speed, accuracy and safety of the implant placement.4. New implant components designed specifically for these types of procedures.5. Stronger and more attractive dental materials.With so many options available, it is hard to know which is the right treatment. Our in-house CT scanner, however, will provide us an instantaneous 3D image for discussions and diagnosis. Patients will no longer be required to travel afar to receive this service. I can’t wait to see what the next twenty-five years will bring.

There’s no disputing that humans need sleep. But in the last 40 years, the amount of sleep we get has decreased to the point where our health and well-being has been impaired. The consequences of our poor sleep habits range from poor moods, decreased productivity, drowsy driving and heart conditions. Many people can improve the quantity and quality of their sleep by making some simple changes to their bedrooms. The idea is to create an environment that is conducive to sleep – cool, calm and dark.

COOL: The best sleep environments are cool. Use window treatments to control the temperature in your rooms. Some treatments have higher R-factors, which means they provide more insulation than window treatments with lower R-factors. Cellular shades are excellent insulators.

CALM:The bedroom should be used for rest and relaxation – a sanctuary. So eliminate all those things that disturb your calm. Eliminate clutter, vacuum and clean regularly to remove dust and other allergens that can disturb your sleep. Use drapery panels or cellular shades to soften harsh visual edges and dampen sound.

DARK:Light disrupts sleep. Some light sources you can control like lamps, clocks and televisions. Other light sources, like street lamps, moonlight or outdoor lighting, you can only control access. Using window coverings to block light can help you get a good night’s sleep. If you’re in the market for new blinds, routless louvers eliminate the tiny holes traditional blinds have.

Spring Home Expo


By Lorraine Sood - CURB-EASE

If you would like the convenience of reduced edging, and would like to complement your garden with a little colour, consider the dramatic difference that adding a decorative border would make to frame the features in your yard.

Stamped and coloured continuous concrete borders enhance landscaping and frame gardens, fl owerbeds, patios and walkways. Unlike other common forms of edging, a continuous concrete border offers a more attractive alternative to wood, brick and plastic edging and will not rot, tip or move.

Maintenance free and practical, concrete borders maintain their original appearance for many years and are one of the quickest and most cost effective ways to add value and prestige to your home.

The fi rst step is to determine exactly where

the borders will be located, with the help of a consultant from the curbing company.

When outlining fl owerbeds, remember that soft, gradual curves are the most pleasing to the eye and are also the most practical to allow the mower to move along the border.

A sod cutter then trims out a clean strip to receive the curbs, which are then extruded, fi nished with a trowel, and hand stamped. Sealer completes the job providing a fi nal barrier of protection.

A wide range of colours, profi les and stamp patterns are now available so the borders can be designed to suit your home and individual taste, pulling everything together for a custom look.

Aside from being attractive, affordable, and durable, concrete edging saves time and money replacing lost mulch and topsoil as well as maintaining the lines of the garden.

Concrete Borders add a Decorative Touch to your Yard
