It may have been prepared on their behalf, but members of White Rock council have made it clear they see no need for a new code of ethics and conduct.

That document, prepared by city staff at the behest of Mayor Wayne Baldwin, got a resounding thumbs-down from councillors at a governance and legislation committee

meeting Monday evening. Councillors said they were not prepared to sign the document, noting that council already has a respectful workplace policy in place and that they feel that basic rules for members’ conduct are already covered by their oath of office.

“This is all very well in theory, but when you put it in practice, it doesn’t work,” Coun. Helen Fathers told the committee. “We should be sticking by the principles of

our oath of office.”Baldwin confirmed after the meeting that

the impetus for the document came follow-ing “complaints about how the respect level could be higher” among council members.

“It’s something that had been talked about for some time and I finally got my act together and did it,” he said, acknowledging that without support it would go no further.

“If council wants to take it on, that’s fine –

if it doesn’t, that fine too,” he told councillors during the meeting.

Contacted following the meeting, several councillors confirmed the document – which hews to a sample code prepared by George Cuff, a former Alberta mayor and governance expert who holds workshops across Canada – was not requested by them, and that they had not seen the wording in advance.

A 97-year-old man was taken to hospital by ambulance after he was struck by a car in White Rock while riding a scooter last week.

The incident took place around 2 p.m. Thurs-day, at the northeast corner of Johnston Road and Russell Avenue.

According to police, the senior was crossing Johnston Road when he was hit by a westbound vehicle driven by a 79-year-old Surrey woman

who was turning to head north on Johnston.“He tried to cross in the crosswalk and had a

vehicle turning right (off of Russell onto John-ston) knock him off his scooter,” White Rock RCMP Sgt. Joel Glen said.

Paramedics, RCMP and fire crews attended the scene, where a scooter could be seen top-pled over and partially wedged underneath the front of an older-model station wagon.

According to one passerby, the incident was the fourth at the intersection involving a

scooter in the past year.Friday, Glen described the victim’s injuries

as “some broken ribs and a pretty good gash on his head… fairly serious, but not life-threatening.”

According to the victim’s son, the senior quickly proved he is “one tough nut.” In online comments, Bob Insell said his dad – who is a Second World War veteran – was able to walk on his own Saturday morning.

Investigation is ongoing.

Peace Arch News returned to the podium last weekend, being named the top newspaper in its circulation category at the BC & Yukon Community Newspapers Association’s Ma Murray Awards.

PAN received the Newspaper Excellence Award at a gala held Saturday at Richmond’s River Rock Casino, receiving top marks overall against 10 other newspapers, including second-place Abbotsford News and third-place Cowichan Valley Citizen, both also published by PAN’s parent company, Black Press.

Judges had this to say about PAN:“The Peace Arch News continues to

show that serving a relatively small but rapidly growing community in an effective way is enormously challenging but still achievable even

in difficult economic times.“The News looks smart, is smart

and certainly deserves high marks for energetic and thorough coverage of a very busy community. Well-ordered sections allow for great local features, arts and sports stories to flourish. Great use of colour, especially in display advertising, and some great photography to go with good writing and layout. Consistent in every category!”

Additionally, Surrey Leader photographer Boaz Joseph received the high-circulation Sports Photo Award and second place in the Feature Photo Award (Colour) for two photos that appeared last spring in PAN, covering the Cloverdale Rodeo and the Color Me Rad 5K run at Holland Park, respectively.

Sexual assault alleged

‘Former officer chargedLaura BaziukBlack Press

A former high-profile Mountie has been charged with sexual assault in relation to his time in charge of a communications unit at the force’s E Division headquarters in Vancouver.

B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch said the charge against Tim Shields came as a result of an investigation into sexual misconduct alleged to have occurred between 2009 and 2010. The alleged victim was a civilian employee who worked with the strategic communications unit.

Shields – who was suspended with pay last spring, pending the out-come of a Code of Conduct inves-tigation – voluntarily submitted his retirement documents on Dec. 11.

“His career with the RCMP has ended,” Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen confirmed by email earlier this year, noting private citizens are not subject to the RCMP Act or inter-nal disciplinary process.

Vermeulen told Peace Arch News the civil matters involving Shields – alleging sexual harassment, which Shields, in court documents, has “expressly denied” – “are being handled by Department of Justice.”

In a 2013 claim, civilian employee Atoya Montague accuses Shields of making unwanted sexual advances toward her. Shields denied any wrongdoing, saying Montague never raised concerns with a super-visor. Another civilian worker at the RCMP, Anitra Singh, filed court documents against Shields in 2014, accusing him of sexual assault and sexual harassment.

Shields spent many years as media spokesman for the RCMP, starting with the Surrey detachment and most recently as an inspector.

He has also been in the news for humanitarian work he participated in as a White Rock resident in 2010, and, in 2012, for donating a photograph of the White Rock pier for the city’s tourism billboard greeting U.S. border traffic.

More than 100 people packed a developer’s open house Monday eve-ning to voice their objections to a townhome project in Panorama.

The development, slated for 5750 Panorama Drive – northwest of High-way 10 and 152 Street – is the planned location of 181 townhomes, 106 apart-ments and a commercial component.

Area residents say the schools are way too crowded as it is, and that both elementary schools and the sec-ondary school are overcapacity.

Cindy Dalglish, who runs the web-site southnewtoncommunity.com, says it’s unfortunate for the developer,

because his timing is terrible.“If he came two years from

now when the schools are around, it (the development) would go through without a blip,” Dalglish said.

The meeting was held 2½ weeks after the Surrey Board of Education called on city officials to halt all new devel-opment in three regions of Surrey – Clayton, Newton and Grandview/South Surrey.

Attending Monday’s meeting at the Tong Louie YMCA not far from the development site, resident Laura Martin said she will soon be looking at kindergarten for her two-year-old.

Martin said she objects to the development primarily based on how it will affect the already packed schools in the area.

Steve Henderson, president of the Panorama Neighbour-hood Association (PNA), said the 350-member com-munity group also opposes the development.

“The neighbourhood asso-ciation supports the school

board to temporarily postpone devel-opment in South Newton, Clayton and Grandview,” Henderson said. He said that without schools specifi-cally to support the new housing, the

group will not stand quietly and allow the development to forge ahead.

Valerie and Henry Zea said they oppose the development, partly because of the impact on schools but also because of the stress it will put on other infrastructure like roads.

Developer James Redekop, of Redekop Homes, told Black Press that  he understands the concerns of the community. He said the plan is to phase in the towhome development over four years, so the province can prepare for the incoming students by building new schools.

The proposal is expected to be the subject of a public hearing in the coming weeks.

Surrey’s oldest high school broke new ground last week, celebrating its first-ever Pride Week, and opening a gender-neutral restroom.

Rainbow streamers filled Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s common area (Hub), and students decorated tie-dye T-shirts for their peers and school staff to wear to show their LGBT sup-port at Thursday’s official opening of the new restroom, located on the second floor.

“When there are (U.S.) states taking a step back, it’s nice to know Tweedsmuir is taking a step forward,” said Liam Ponzini, a representa-tive of the school’s Gay Straight Alliance.

The single-occupant washroom makes its debut at the 6151 180 St. school after about three years of lobbying by students. It’s designed to give all students, regardless of gender identity or expression, a safe place to go where they are free from harassment or discrimination.

Ponzini said its symbolic value is important.“Having this bathroom in this school is more

of a symbol that you can be who you are and you don’t have to be judged or harassed.”

Grade 11 student Mackenzie Jasper, a

Tweedsmuir GSA rep, said she hopes it will help put an end to discrimination before it begins.

She credited the work of the GSA and teachers for supporting the project.

“I believe this really proved to us that we may be young, but that our voices matter,” she said.

The Surrey School Dis-trict’s Sexual Orienta-tion and Gender Identity Policy address rights and inclusion, but doesn’t spe-cifically address gender-neutral washrooms.

School district spokes-man Doug Strachan said there are already about a half-dozen secondary schools in Surrey that accommodate students who request a private washroom. However, they aren’t necessarily designated with a ‘gender neutral’ sign on the

door.A sign on the Lord

Tweedsmuir facility reads ‘Anyone can use this rest-room regardless of gender identity or expression.’ It’s also wheelchair accessible.

“We’re really happy that students have lobbied,” said teacher Penny Tur-pin, explaining that they have been looking to school administration to find a way to make the gender-neutral washroom a reality.

She said principal Allan Buggie looked to models at other schools to see how it could be imple-mented.

The May 5 celebration included an opening cer-emony with a ribbon-cut-ting followed by a short,

symbolic parade from the new washroom to the school’s Hub.

Spending the night on the streets of Vancouver last week was “simply terrifying” for four South Surrey moms, taking part in a fundraiser for Covenant House.

The event – which raised more than $118,000 for the organization’s outreach services for at-risk and homeless youth – saw 32 women from across the Lower Mainland sleep outside Covenant’s House Yaletown centre, with nothing but a piece of cardboard and a sleeping bag.

“Uncomfortable, cold hard streets, bright city lights, constant sirens and screaming of profanity, the presence of small rodents in the back alleys and the sounds of dumpsters opening and closing,” said Joan Webster, an Ocean Park resident, describing the night of May 5.

“Needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep.”

Webster – who volunteers at Covenant House’s youth drop-in centre – described the teens and young adults who face homelessness year-round as “unbelievable, so resilient and so worthy of our respect, support and love.”

The overnight event began with a panel discussion featuring three youth who shared their stories about facing homelessness. In the morning, participants took part in a group reflection exercise where they

shared thoughts on their experience.

Webster said she will “absolutely” take part in the event again should it become an annual fundraiser.

“I have committed for as long as my back will hold out,” she said.

Caution: What you say on Facebook could cost you – plenty.

Last month, a B.C. Supreme Court judge slammed an Abbotsford woman with an order to pay $67,500 in damages after she posted highly derogatory comments about a neighbour on Facebook.

The case stands as a prime example of the utter disregard some users of social media display in terms of the potential impact, and consequences, of their comments about other people.

The court heard that the woman became embroiled in a dispute with her next-door neighbour – a local teacher – involving his complaints about noise from her waterfall and messy visits by her dog. Her posts and responses on her open Facebook page included suggestions that he was a pedophile who was videotaping her children – accusations which were discounted in court.

While the woman said she was merely “venting,” the judge found the comments to be “thoughtless” and “reckless,” with a deeply damaging effect on the man and his reputation.

Unfortunately, social media is rife with this kind of vitriol, flung around with cruel abandon, focused at people for the flimsiest of excuses, often targeting their gender, race or opinions.

Beyond this particular case – which went to court and received public attention – there are countless other examples of social-media commentary having a negative effect, usually on the person doing the commenting.

Plenty of people have lost jobs over offensive posts, perhaps the highest-profile case being a U.S. public-relations professional who was fired amid a flurry of criticism when her flippant and offensive tweet on AIDS, Africa and being white went viral in 2013.

Job applicants, too, have had their resumes dumped straight into the shredder upon a company’s HR department conducting a simple online search.

Such behaviour has become so widespread, it is oftentimes accepted with a shrug. But such recklessness can cost you, just as it cost the Abbotsford woman, the PR flack and others.

It is sad and disturbing that so many users of social media seem to think that posting on these platforms is a free-for-all, carrying no obligation to observe basic rights and respect.

In this most recent case, the judge has ruled otherwise, and thankfully so.

It’s a powerful message to those who feel civility and accountability don’t exist in the realm of social media.

Indeed, they do. And so does the law.

Be careful what you say online

opinionPeace Arch News

The spring and summer repair work on the Pattullo Bridge has quickly exposed the complete inadequacies

of transportation networks between the fast-growing south of the Fraser area and the remainder of Metro Vancouver.

Pattullo Bridge traffic is clogged for most of the day every day, as it is now down to one lane in each direction so that patchwork repairs can be made.

It is important to note that these repairs are only expected to extend the life of the bridge by a few years, as the longterm plan is to replace it with a new toll bridge.

The Alex Fraser Bridge, Highway 91 and all the feeder routes are even more clogged than ever since the Pattullo repairs began on April 29. Other than the Pattullo, it is the area’s only free bridge across the Fraser River. The Alex Fraser traffic has been building significantly since the tolled Port Mann Bridge opened.

Interestingly, the Port Mann Bridge has been noticeably busier since the Pattullo work began. This makes sense, however, there is no toll discount being offered to drivers during this period (even though the Pattullo is the supposed free alternative).

The fact is, the toll is a steep price for many working people.

While traffic is generally flowing well on the Port Mann during rush

hours, there have been a lot of slowdowns on Highway 1 on both sides of the bridge, from Abbotsford to Vancouver.

The George Massey tunnel is more clogged as well, although sometimes it is hard to notice, given its perpetual state of busyness. The level of traffic there has prompted Premier Christy Clark to declare that the tunnel needs to be replaced with (yet another) toll bridge, something that has proven to be quite controversial.

If that bridge is built, it will definitely relieve some of the pressure. However, if it opens at about the same time as the tolled Pattullo, with four toll bridges crossing the Fraser and only the Alex Fraser free, it is pretty obvious where much of the traffic will go.

Clark recognizes there is a built-in unfairness in tolling policy, and has commented on that fact. A number of mayors and MLAs have also called for a fairer tolling policy, with more bridges tolled at a lower rate.

Clark’s party is busy formulating its election promises for next May, and a

fair tolling policy is a pretty high priority for most South Fraser residents. The eight seats in Surrey and two in Delta are pretty important factors in which party gets to form government in Victoria.

If there is no action on the tolling-policy front, the BC Liberals will lose votes in the South Fraser area.

The NDP will also need to address the tolling inequity. Thus far, there has been no formal policy shift announced by the opposition party.

Transportation is about more than cars and trucks, of course. Transit is a key part of the equation, but unfortunately it gets little attention from decision-makers.

The Surrey LRT lines may get built in the next decade, if funding can be found to match federal and provincial funds. However, it will do little to get more people across the river, as it will require riders to transfer to SkyTrain, and that delay alone will make transit less competitive.

Meanwhile, the bus service in Surrey, Delta, White Rock and Langley is a fraction of what is available to people in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore. Coquitlam and Port Moody residents will still have more access to SkyTrain when the Evergreen Line opens.

In Surrey, bus routes such as the 502 and 321 are hopelessly overcrowded – and little changes. No wonder that most Surrey residents rely on their cars for transportation. They have few real alternatives.

The added pressure caused by the Pattullo repairs has proven that.

Overcrowding a city problemEditor:Re: School leaders want housing freeze, April 27.

Surrey school trustee Laurae McNally’s motion “to temporarily suspend all new development approvals in the Clayton, Grandview/South Surrey and South Newton regions” until the district receives adequate capital funding from the province is bang on.

Surrey First mayor and council have no idea what their non-stop development approvals are doing to the students, their families and the staff of Surrey School District.

The district is one of the largest employers in Surrey, if not the largest, and it is responsible for educating the citizens of tomorrow. If this mayor and council are all about business, they better realize the school district is one of the biggest drivers of business in this city.

Yet, the mayor and council seem to be so concerned with the needs of the developers, they forget about the needs of the citizens.

If they cared about the people of Surrey, they would have been on board long ago with the school district trying to figure out this very big problem of portables and overcrowded schools.

I urge the Surrey school trustees – yes, all Surrey First Education, it’s important to note that McNally represents White Rock – to make sure that their scheduled meeting with the mayor and council is more than an opportunity to get together and have lunch. The mayor and council need to leave that meeting knowing exactly what the district needs in terms of stopping this disaster from continuing. The mayor and council need to know that they are part of the problem, and how to advocate the provincial government for more schools. They need to understand the reality of going to school in Surrey and possibly spending your K-12 education in a trailer out in a field or parking lot.

The mayor and council must put the needs of the students of Surrey, the future, ahead of the developers.Charlene Dobie, Surrey(Editor’s note: letter-writer Charlene Dobie served as a trustee 2011-2014, running with Surrey Civic Coalition.)

Waste savings lack fairnessEditor:Re: Privatized single-family gar-bage on hold, April 29.

In reading the article in Peace Arch News regarding privatized single-family homes’ garbage collection, I am astounded at the attitude of city administration towards multifamily homeowners.

The city made a decision behind closed doors in December 2014 to cancel garbage pickup for multifamily homes. Multifamily homeowners were not informed of this decision in writing until the following March.

The city cancelled the service and

abandoned its citizens to their own devices. The city saved $318,646 by stopping the waste-removal service for multifamily homes.

Now, the city is considering reducing the solid-waste user fee for single-family homes by $58 each for a total of $145,000. The city intends to take the money saved by no longer servicing multifamily homes and use it to subsidize the cost of garbage pickup for single-family homes.

How is this following the City of White Rock’s stated ‘corporate values’ regarding integrity – “honestly striving for equity and fairness in all that we do.”Ian Routledge, White Rock

CivilizeddiscourseEditor:Re: Embracing Our Country of Change, April 27 letters.

Sandhya Wagner’s letter to the editor was responding to Patricia Kroeker’s letter (Christians more than accepting, April 20) that was responding to Taslim Jaffer’s column (Tolerance is beneath us, April 1).

The reason I have read all three of these was to try to understand why there was such a level of derision and hostility expressed against Kroeker.

Wagner’s letter accuses Kroeker of “being so very angry” and that “Jaffer’s article brought something out in you that just won’t be tolerated – a very unCanadian

attitude.” It said: “What is dangerous about a kind of intolerance is that those who have it appear not to know that they do. Their aversion, distaste and uneasiness with change… is like a disease…. It’s how hatred and bigotry are spread.”

Next I read Jaffer’s column, in which she implied that Canadians’ biases are still problematic. She writes that “cultural sensitivity requires one to first examine their own biases and acknowledge that they exist.... Cultural biases are subtle.... Unless we are willing to admit that they are there, we can’t evaluate them.”

Jaffer immigrated to Canada in 1979 when she was almost one year old, so she is fully immersed in both cultures. Surely she must understand that the Western world has been a beacon of freedom and hope for a better life for millions of immigrants and refugees from around the world. Tolerance, acceptance, accommodation and generosity are characteristic of Canadian culture.

Yet she lectures us, her readers, about the meaning and difference between tolerance and acceptance.

It seems that she thinks we could do more or be better by admitting that we are “biased,” which is a softer way to ask us to admit that we are prejudiced, racist, intolerant or bigoted. This is not the way to build the bridges she speaks of.

It seems Kroeker was somewhat offended by Jaffer’s article and expressed this in her letter. I can understand her frustration. Many Canadians are offended when cultural activists demand more

and more accommodation and change, especially when that change and accommodation is always demanded from one side only.

Kroeker’s letter was not unCanadian, bigoted or dangerous. Nor did her letter indicate she was any less supportive of varying cultures than other Canadians.

Those who express opinion that is deemed politically incorrect will be bullied and vilified with impunity.

Except for the fearless, fewer people are prepared to voice their opinion if it challenges PC dictate.M. Trevelyan, White Rock

I am an Ismaili by religion. I came to Canada 40 years ago from Kenya.

We invested in Canada and never were a financial burden to Canada. Canada is my beautiful country.

We accept and embrace all religions, and we also did celebrate Christmas in Kenya. I always wish my friends and neighbours “Merry Christmas” and will be very happy that we all start wishing different cultures their religious greetings.

File photoTolled – and soon-to-be-tolled – Fraser River crossings are some examples of ‘user pay’ backed by politicians.

Editor:There has been so much talk about tolls and road

pricing in Metro Vancouver. The residents of B.C. spend billions of dollars every

year building and maintaining thousands of kilometres of highway and hundreds of bridges running through some very isolated areas of this province.

Why is it that those of us living in the tiny southwest corner of the province have to pay for our area’s improvements on top of this?

Metro Vancouver’s area is only 0.03 per cent of this province, yet our politicians love to use the excuse ‘user pay’.

Why doesn’t this apply to the rest of the province or those that are able to use our heavily subsidized transit system?

It is time to dismantle this failed behemoth called TransLink and have the provincial government take back its responsibility for all modes of transportation.Chris Hale, Surrey

newsConditional discharge

A Surrey Mountie found guilty in January of gun possession charges has been given a conditional discharge and put on 18 months probation.

Surrey RCMP Const. David Matthew Clarke was found guilty of two gun possession charges stemming from a search of his home six years ago.

In October 2010, Clarke owned a home in Chilliwack and lived in a rented basement suite in Cloverdale. His girlfriend lived in the Chilliwack home with her kids.

After a dispute with him, she called Clarke’s supervisor, which eventually led to a search of the Chilliwack home, of which she gave consent. In that home, RCMP found an FN FAL semi-automatic rifle and a Remington Colt semi-automatic handgun.

On April 25, Clarke was given a conditional discharge, put on 18 months probation and prohibited from possessing a firearm for five years.

Break-and-enterSurrey RCMP are investigating

following a report of an armed break-and-enter Thursday night.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann said police received a report of suspects with weapons in a residence in the 15500-block of 48 Avenue at 9:30 p.m. May 5. On officers’ arrival – area residents report

seeing eight to 10 police vehicles – the suspects were gone.

Few details were available, however, Schumann confirmed people other than the suspects were in the home at the time, and that it appears the home was targeted.

“There was no motion by council for this,” Coun. Lynne Sinclair told Peace Arch News Tuesday.

The code, among other provi-sions, would have had councillors channel all complaints and con-cerns about decisions of council or actions of administration through the office of the chief administrator, seek input from the administrator when they were unsure of issues or courses of action, and not make any criticism of the administration, publicly or privately, in which indi-vidual employees are identified.

Sinclair had asked city man-ager Dan Bottrill how many other municipalities had signed similar documents and how the code would be enforced. Bottrill said he could not supply a number of municipali-ties that had endorsed such a code.

“Enforcement would be a per-sonnel matter, depending on the severity of the issue,” he said, add-ing that it would be enforced by council in closed meetings.

Responded Sinclair: “I think this will just impose a whole new layer of rules that are not being observed and not being followed,… I’m con-

cerned because I think it isn’t con-ducive to positive council relation-ships – which I think is the intent… Each one of us signed an oath of office which is absolutely clear.”

Coun. David Chesney said he was “rather shocked” by the appearance of the document, noting the existing respectful-workplace policy.

“I have no intention of sign-ing (such a) code of ethics, tonight, tomorrow or any other day,” he said.

Said Coun. Megan Knight: “I took my oath of office when I

was elected…. As I look over these pages I don’t see (these rules) being enforced. Why should I need to put my name to this?”

Coun. Grant Meyer, too, said that signing an oath of office and adhering to a respectful workplace

policy should be enough. “I try to treat staff with respect

and fellow members of council with respect,” he said Tuesday. “There are polite ways to disagree.”

Coun. Bill Lawrence, who chaired the meeting, didn’t offer his opinion.

O’Neill and Reddam were also trainer and owner, respectively, of I’ll Have Another, which fol-lowed the Derby win with vic-tory at The Preakness Stakes, before being scratched from the Belmont Stakes, thus ending the Triple Crown run.

On Saturday, Gutierrez and Nyquist started the race from the No. 13 position, and quickly moved into the lead group with fellow contenders Danzing Candy and Exaggerator.

On the stretch run of the one-and-a-quarter mile race, Gutier-rez made a move to the front, and pulled away in the final few hun-dred yards. Nyquist won by one-and-a-quarter lengths. Exaggerator placed sec-ond and Gun Runner ended third.

Gutierrez – whom broadcasters praised as “being as cool as ice” during the race – called Nyquist “an amazing horse” after crossing the finish line. The horse is undefeated in his eight-race career, and will look to extend the streak at the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown.

South Surrey horse-owner Glen Todd –  for whom Gutierrez rode during his time at Hast-ings Park Racecourse – said his protege “rode a great race” and was lucky enough to have a light-ning-quick horse, too.

“You’ve got to have a great horse to win –  you can’t win without it,” said Todd, who watched the race from a viewing party at Hastings Park.

“Mario was very, very patient. He waited and waited, and then sprung it. It was a huge crowd (at Hastings Park) and when

he took the lead there and pulled away, the place just went nuts.”

Todd said Gutierrez was plan-ning to return to the Lower Mainland this summer, and was

set to race for Todd on Canada Day at Hastings Park.

“Winning never gets old – you never get used to it,” Todd said. “I’m pretty happy for him.”

Disagreements persist on the extent of

humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week.

But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging.

The B.C. government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal projects this year, after an initial flurry following the Kelowna fires of 2003 faded in hard times. But the effects of decades of fire suppression in a fire-

dependent forest system remain, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again.

There is some positive news here. A Victoria-based government research team has

published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetle-damaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected. 

Warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and the “fertilizer

effect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors.

“By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and increased CO2 more than compensates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Centre for Modeling and Analysis.

This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest-fire loss that comes with gradually increasing temperatures and drier periods.

The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal.

I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.”

That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030.

That would be 13 per cent of the Canadian government emission target.

One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more

products that use wood.

“It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is where we see a big part of the opportunity. Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.”

That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned for the University of B.C.

The other is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada.

Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species, with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass.

A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says.

“If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.”

If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Just give bees a chance. That’s the message behind a sponsor-

a-hive program that a South Surrey family is taking part in, aimed at boosting honeybee populations in the region.

The McNabbs are in their second year hosting a beehive, after dad Tyler heard about the initiative last spring.

With a large, flourishing garden – and a keen interest, but admitted lack of knowledge about beekeeping – McNabb said he jumped at the chance to sponsor a hive in the backyard of the family’s 155A Street home.

“I thought it would be a great way to learn how to do it,” McNabb told Peace Arch News. “I was a little concerned being in an urban area, I didn’t really know what it would be like, if there would be swarms or other issues. But it wasn’t like that at all.”

The program is facilitated by 3B Honeybee, a Vancouver-based organization that provides hives to residential gardens around the Lower Mainland.

After a hive is installed, a professional beekeeper visits every few weeks for a “hive inspection” – ensuring the queen is still present and laying eggs, and no disease is present.

McNabb said he and his wife, Kelly, have taken advantage of learning as much as they can through the program, and have discovered that hosting a hive is extremely low maintenance.

“It’s a lot like gardening,” McNabb said. “You’re giving the plants – or in this case, the bees – the most ideal situation and they do everything themselves. It’s very easy.”

According to 3B Honeybee owner Art Barker, learning to take care of the hives

has been a huge draw for sponsors since the program started five years ago.

“Beekeeping has become very popular, but a lot of people don’t know how to get into it,” he said. “If you can sponsor a hive and have someone come around every couple of weeks to work on it, it gives you the ability

to learn as much as you care to learn.”

More importantly, Barker said, the program helps raise awareness of the plight of bees, whose populations have been dwindling over the past decade.

“The bees are in trouble, and we need the general public to be aware of that,” Barker

said, noting the issue of bee health is “not a simple conversation.”

“The general consensus today is that it’s not one isolated thing that’s hurting the bee population. It’s a collection of low-level toxins, monoculture, general pollution

– just everything combined.” If sponsoring a hive isn’t in the cards

– hosts pay a $350 fee for the season – Barker recommends planting bee-friendly plants that flower at different times of the spring and summer to attract pollinators throughout the spring and summer months.

Barker said attracting pollinators will help a garden’s entire ecosystem to flourish, and create a healthier environment throughout the neighbourhood.

That diverse ecosystem was part of the draw for the McNabbs, as well as helping their children Sarah and Max understand the important role bees play in the environment.

“It’s helped them to get over their fear of bees, and they get to experience the life cycle of a different creature and how they fit into the environment,” McNabb said.

To sweeten the deal, hive sponsors also get to keep some of the honey produced by the hive at the end of the summer.

Although this season’s hives have all been accounted for by sponsors, Barker said he hopes to expand the program in the coming

years as the buzz around the program continues to grow.

“If you get a beehive on your block, pretty soon everyone on your block is going to be talking about bees,” Barker said. “It’s a great deal all around.”

My parents were born and raised in Mombasa, Kenya – a port city

known for its beaches and history of trading.

My mom’s family lived in an apartment complex known as Makupa Flats.

Here in Canada, even decades after leaving Kenya, my parents would run into people from ‘back home’ and inevitably my mom would say to us kids, “This is so-and-so. He was my neighbour.”

Her face would light up in a big smile like she had just located her long-lost best friend.

After numerous introductions to random people as her ‘neighbour’ from Makupa, my brother and I told her – in our childish know-it-all-ness – that she couldn’t possibly have had all these neighbours. We secretly came to the conclusion that she didn’t really know what a neighbour was.

In my early 20s, I had a conversation with my mom that has never left me. She told me how homesick she had been for her hometown, while raising us here in Canada.

I knew that my parents’ initial adjustment to life in Canada had been difficult but that conversation helped me

understand their challenge. What was it my mom had

missed the most about living in those flats? That “there was always someone around. And

if we needed anything, we would just knock on each other’s doors.”

It struck me how very different our early life in the Lower Mainland had been from that scenario. Socializing looked very different.

It wasn’t as easy as walking out your front door and into your neighbour’s home. It was an effort to get to know people, and there wasn’t always a lot of

energy left over after working a graveyard shift then taking your kids to school, then housework and cooking, then running your kids around to their activities, all the while learning the ways of a new land.

People often mistake the elusiveness of newcomers for an unwillingness to become a part of society. I can say from my parents’ experience that that isn’t always the case.

Sometimes the byproduct of survival mode is we don’t always get to know others.

Today, life is still full of work, home, kids and activities.

Thankfully, I am settled here, a part of the Canadian culture,

my husband established in his business. But I’m like my mom; I need neighbours whom I can bug for anything from a spare lemon to a spare hour of babysitting.

In my single-family home neighbourhood, it’s not as easy as Makupa Flats to know people on a first-name basis.

It’s not always convenient for people to stop in for a cup of tea. But it’s necessary.

I encourage newcomers (to the country or to a neighbourhood) and established residents to enter a common space. Exchange names, at the very least.

As is the case with my neighbours, these people may end up being your friends – people whose doors you can knock on when you need them.

If it is you who recently moved into a new neighbourhood, you can certainly be the one to make the first move, too.

Connecting with the people who live around you is one way to build bridges, to dispel cultural myths, to foster the idea that we have far more in common than we might think. The common threads make themselves known when we engage in meaningful conversation with each other, and share our stories.

In a world aching for security and understanding, being a good neighbour cannot go out of style.

Big challengeA dozen White Rock

Christian Academy students are set to test their “21st century skills” against other students from around the world at Destination Imagination global finals in Knoxville, Tenn.

Destination Imagination is a non-profit organization which aims to “inspire and equip” students to become innovators and leaders, though critical-thinking, academic challenges.

WRCA had three teams take part in the Destination Imagination Fraser Valley tournament in late February, and all three also competed in provincials in April at Kwantlen Park Secondary. Two White Rock teams – the BIG in Motion team (Grade 5) and Technology Masters (Grade 3) – won gold medals in their age groups, moving on to the Knoxville event, which is set for May 25-28 and will see 17,000 students from 15 countries take part.

The participating WRCA students are currently fundraising to help cover their costs for the trip, and anyone wishing to help can call the school at 604-531-9186.

White Rock firefighters raised $630 for the BC Cancer Foundation last month, through the sale of daffodil pins outside of Buy-Low Foods.

Firefighter Paul Farrant said the cause is close to the crew’s hearts, as firefighters have a higher rate of developing cancers than average, due to being exposed to carcinogens on a regular basis. They also develop these cancers – including testicular, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, skin and brain – much earlier in life, Farrant said.

“Your average household in this day and age is filled

with furniture and belongings that are made from synthetic materials. When these items burn they produce toxic and carcinogenic smoke and vapours. These vapours are then absorbed through the

skin into the body,” Farrant explained by email.

Farrant said the firefighters plan to repeat the fundraiser on an annual basis, during cancer awareness month.

lifestylesParty like it’s 1895

Be part of Queen Victoria’s royal visit celebrating her birthday – party like it’s 1895 at Royal Victorian Party at Historic Stewart Farm on Sunday, May 22 from 12-3 p.m.

The farm’s impersonator queen will cut birthday cake and grace visitors with selfies and royal portraits.

Waist coats and feathered hats are encouraged but not mandatory. Subjects attending the free, all-ages event are invited to:• Watch the Vancouver Morris Men perform their colourful and lively dances. Also set to perform are their female dance troupe counterparts, the Tiddley Cove Morris dancers and the

fabulous Little Mountain Step n Clog.• Revel in the reels of the Brigadoon Scottish Highland dance group.• Create a bejeweled crown and craft a scepter fit for royalty.

• Take a turn and churn ice cream the old fashioned way.• Play croquet, make bubbles and hula hoop on the farmhouse lawn.• Take a moment to relax on the veranda while sipping lemonade and indulging in

a slice of birthday cake with ice cream. • Enjoy a family picnic on the scenic grounds.

Following the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, May 24 became known as Victoria Day. The date was meant to remember the late queen who was

deemed the “Mother of Confederation.” In 1952, the holiday was officially

moved to the Monday prior to May 24. Celebrations for the holiday date back to 1845. The Historic Stewart Farm is located at 13723 Crescent Rd.

Your Notary ProfessionalMy land title document names me as ‘Owner in Fee Simple’. What does this mean?

This represents the absolute ownership of land. Ownership of land in fee simple means that the registered party on title has the greatest bundle of rights that can be afforded.

A fee simple estate, also known as a “freehold” estate, is only subject to the greater rights of the crown, and is subject to legislative restrictions, such as, tax, land use, and other individuals’ common law rights. ‘Fee’ would mean that this interest can be inherited, and ‘simple’ would mean there’s no qualifi cation to inherit.

Master Your ManeIf you’re one of the lucky few that has been blessed with thick, coarse hair, you are envied by anyone who struggles to create volume. But, if you are one of those lucky few, you know that your locks take some serious maintenance to keep them under control. Here are a few things you can do to be the master of your mane.

Start simple. Use professional, sulfate free, moisturizing shampoos, and always condition. Use deep conditioning masks, leave in conditioner, and hair serums to keep your hair smooth and healthy.

If letting your hair air-dry isn’t an option, always use a heat protecting spray, and use your fl at iron sparingly.

Find a salon that uses ammonia free hair color. It will colour grey beautifully, and will leave your hair conditioned and shiny, causing less damage. Stay away from razors and thinning shears when getting your hair cut.

PODIATRISTI Sprained my Ankle. Now what?

Ankle sprains result in pain and swelling due to stretching or tearing of some of the ligaments surrounding the ankle. As these tears heal, they form scar tissue, which sticks to normal tissue and causes infl ammation and continued pain. Without appropriate treatment, ankle pain can persist for several months, or even years.Causes: Most commonly people sprain ankles by stepping in a hole or tripping over tree roots or rocks. Treatment: Stop running or walking on it. This next step is very critical; follow the R.I.C.E. protocol. This means rest, ice, compression & elevation. See your family doctor or podiatrist. A severely sprained ankle often needs to be treated to reduce scar tissue formation and help restore normal strength and range of motion.Prevention: If you are prone to ankle sprains, avoid rocky or uneven terrains. Wear a fi rmer or more supportive shoe for better stability, and do ankle-strengthening exercises often.Activity Restrictions: Do not run or participate in vigorous weight-bearing activities with a sprained ankle. This will only damage the ankle further.

Yes, many people are listing and “cashing out”. The Fraser Valley

Board market had another record breaking month of sales in April. Inventory is moving fast and because there are currently still more buyers than homes for sale, prices continue to rise.

However, when you sell your home, be sure you have a good idea of where you plan to move. There’s no worse feeling than knowing buyers will soon move into your house and you have no place to go. Less expensive properties in outlying areas aren’t as easy to fi nd as they once were. Townhome and condo apartment inventory is starting to shrink and prices for them are increasing as well.

This is indeed an excellent time to sell but any reputable realtor will help you develop an “exit plan” before you do. Be open to different options, have solid fi nancing in place and work with an experienced, local realtor to ensure success.

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress.

Published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors.

But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins

by incorporating them into plant tissues.

Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma. In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health. But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality.

• Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene.

• Aloe vera: Aloe vera might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes.

• English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-

term space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products.

• Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list. Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene.

Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.

Houseplants can clean indoor air Did you know? The majority of grass species have chlorophyll to thank for their appealing green color. Chlorophyll is a bright pigment that absorbs both blue and red light especially well. But chlorophyll largely reflects green light, which is why the yards and fields we spend so much time in are green. And chlorophyll does more than influence the color of grass. Chlorophyll also plays an important role in the process of photosynthesis, during which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. According to LiveScience.com, chlorophyll molecules absorb light and then transfer that energy to special molecules that, when stimulated, fire off electrons that produce chemical changes in the plant. That chemical energy is ultimately turned into sugar, highlighting the essential role that chlorophyll plays in lawns’ survival.

Many homeowners aspire to have lush green lawns. Thriving, healthy lawns can make homeowners proud and improve their property values, as the lawns make homes more attractive to prospective buyers when those homes hit the market. While lush lawns won’t suddenly appear overnight, homeowners can take certain steps toward creating the stunning green lawns of their dreams.

• Don’t overreact to brown lawns. Lawns can turn brown for various reasons, but overreacting at the fi rst sign of brown grass can make the situation worse. Some lawns turn brown because they have gone dormant to save energy for the cooler and more damp days to come. Applying fertilizer in such situations can damage rather than revitalize lawns. Fertilizers or chemicals applied to brown lawns may burn the lawn, creating additional stress that potentially hinders the lawns’ recovery.

• Aerate compacted soil. Compacted soil may be the culprit behind discolored lawns. Over time, soils of all kinds can become compacted, which prevents moisture from reaching a lawn’s roots. As a result, the roots don’t grow and the grass is denied the nutrients it needs to thrive. Aeration combats compacted soil by poking tiny holes in the ground to loosen the soil. Speak with a landscaping professional about the best time to aerate, which typically only needs to be

done once per year. As compacted soil becomes looser, the lawn will become more resistant to drought and begin to resemble the lush green lawn you’re aiming for.

• Raise your mower blades.

Some homeowners set their mower blades to the lowest possible setting so they can extend the intervals between cuts and reduce the number of times they mow in the hot summer sun. But cutting the grass too short exposes the soil to the sun, making it diffi cult for soil to retain moisture and promote deep, strong plant roots. When raising the blades, inspect them to make sure they are still sharp. Dull blades won’t cut the grass as cleanly as sharp ones, potentially causing tears in grass blades that invite disease and contribute to poor moisture retention.

• Address pest problems. Pests are unwanted guests who affect lawns in various ways, depending on the type of pest. Grubs feed on grass roots, while mites feed on the nutrient-rich juices that lawns need to thrive. Pest control may depend on the type of pest and how advanced the infestation is, so speak with a landscaping professional about your pest problems before attempting to combat the problem on your own. Letting a pest problem fester may force you to replace the lawn entirely, but addressing it promptly can likely save you both the cost and heartache associated with such a project.

Few things can be as troublesome to gardeners and landscapers as weeds. Weeds seemingly spring up overnight and quickly can overrun lawns and/or garden beds. Landscaping enthusiasts may spend countless hours and weekends coping with weeds without truly getting to the root of the problem. However, preventing weed growth need not be so diffi cult.

According to the experts at “This Old House” and The Family Handyman, the secret to preventing weeds is to maintain a thick, healthy lawn. A vigorously growing lawn will crowd out weeds and block the sun seeds need to germinate and thrive. As a result, fewer herbicides may be needed and homeowners can spend less time on their hands and knees pulling out weeds.

Mow at the right heightCrabgrass is a notoriously virulent weed that can

quickly snuff out blades of grass. Crabgrass likes hot, dry conditions, and it only takes one plant to spread the seeds that can overtake the lawn. Preventing these conditions can stop crabgrass from fl ourishing. Mowing at higher heights and leaving grass blades taller can shade the soil, helping to prevent the germination of crabgrass. Shady conditions also will help the soil retain moisture and prevent the arid conditions crabgrass likes so much.

Water deeplyWeeds are accustomed to growing in adverse

conditions, including especially hot temperatures. When such conditions arise, weeds establish deep roots while the roots of the grass can easily die off. Instead, when watering, wet the soil to a depth of four to six inches. This helps grass to establish strong root systems that will help lawns overpower pesky weeds.

Time weed killersWhether you manually remove weeds or apply

weed killers, timing is key. Combat weeds in the early spring before they have time to fully form and start proliferating through seed dispersement. Once seeds spread, their growth is diffi cult to control. Recognize that no single herbicide or weeding tactic will work for every type of weed. Broadleaf weeds, like dandelions, unwanted grasses, and sedges are the three most common types of weeds. Homeowners will have to adapt based on the type of weed that is most prevalent in their lawns.

Watch fertilizer amountsStrike a balance with fertilizer, fi nding the right

amount to deliver continuous nutrition to the lawn, but not overfeed it so that weeds can thrive. Many lawns only require fertilizer once or twice annually, in the autumn and spring.

By following these guidelines, lawn and garden enthusiasts can prevent the proliferation of unsightly and potentially harmful weeds.

In The House of Wives, two women vie for the attention of their opium-trader husband in a tale of “friendship, fortune and rivalry.”

GhostsWhite Rock’s Gordon

Mantle makes a rare return to acting with Langley Players’ production of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts.

Well-known as stage manager-producer of many Lower Mainland

community theatre productions, Mantle plays the supporting role of Engstrand in the 1881 classic – which runs until May 21 at Langley Playhouse.

Directed by Helen Embury, the show, a pioneering work of theatrical realism

that raises issues still current today, also stars Mahara Sinclaire, also well-known in South Surrey and White Rock as acting co-director of Peninsula Productions.

She plays widowed mother Helen Alving, while Dayna Thomas plays her maid Regina, daughter of Engstrand, and Tony Loyer plays Oswald, Alving’s son, whose return home – ostensibly for a public tribute to his late father – raises the ‘ghosts’ of past secrets.

Rounding out the cast as a representative of the voice of morality is Andrew Wood, as Pastor Manders.

Langley Playhouse is located at 4307 200 St. Curtain is at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Tickets ($15) are available from www.langleyplayers.com/reservations.html

Pier concerts The musical

excitement will return to the waterfront this

July and August as the city and the White Rock BIA present the TD Concerts at the Pier series for a second year.

Thanks to sponsorship from the TD Bank Group, the series will offer six

Saturday evening free concerts with name headliners from the BC music scene, starting July

9 (7-10 p.m.).The series was a hit

last year, highlighting recording artists who were graduates of the PEAK Performance Project.

“We are extremely pleased to be working with the White Rock BIA and the city in delivering such a high quality live-music series,” says Bob Bezubiak, branch manager of TD Canada Trust in White Rock.

“We are delighted to support the continued success of the concert series – TD is proud to be supporting our local community this way.”

VolunteersOutside the Box, ‘A

Celebration of Fibre – Plus’ is commencing preparations for its 2016 citywide festival. Artistic director Alicia Ballard says OTB is looking forward to expanding the experience this year to all forms of artistic expression – including mixed-media, 3D and food.

To accomplish this, organizers are extending an invitation to all local eateries, cafes, and other businesses in the city to get involved, and encouraging new participants, as well as offering a number of volunteer opportunities.

New volunteers are needed for positions in public relations and marketing, acquisitions and sponsorships, media and information technology and videography, as well as volunteers at large.

Those with enthusiasm and appropriate qualifications are asked to contact Ballard at studiogaleria@gmail.com

The worst part was the angioplasty.Despite all that Aart Looye has

endured over the past 15 months – the stroke; the weeks of painstaking, frustrating rehab; the blocked arteries and the irregular heartbeat – that, the 71-year-old South Surrey triathlete says, was the part that was nearly too much to take.

The angioplasty included a cardiac catheterization, in which stents and a balloon are installed in the heart, and arteries are cleared of blockages by a tiny, drill-like catheter inserted into his arm.

Recounting the procedure, which was done as he continued his recovery from a stroke suffered in February of last year, still raises the hackles of Looye, months later.

“They strap your… arm down and they just jam that drill right into your artery and off it goes. They don’t even warn you when they’re about to do it, they just do it. It hurt like hell,” Looye chuckled, retelling the story while sitting on the patio of a coffee shop near his South Surrey townhouse.

“I had words for those guys, believe me.”

For Looye – a longtime competitive swimmer and triathlete, as well as a former candidate in both civic and federal elections – rare is the moment he doesn’t have words for somebody, and a recent afternoon is no different. Over the course of an hour, he holds court on all manner of topics – local development, the new Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre and Surrey’s mayors past and present, among them – often peppering his critiques with enough choice words to make one wonder if the CRTC should put him on a five-second delay.

But as those who know Looye will attest, his fiery attitude is part of his charm.

It’s also a pretty good indicator that he’s back to his old self – even if the left side of his body still doesn’t work.

• • •It was a day in February of last year that

began like any other.Looye woke up early and went off to the

Tong Louie YMCA to teach his Thursday morning cycle-fit class. He ran the class, returned home and went on with his day.

Then, after dinner, as he prepared to return to the Y to teach an evening class, he couldn’t keep hold of his keys.

“They just kept falling out of my hands, then I tried to get them into the car and just couldn’t do it,” he said. “My wife was wondering what the hell was going on.”

Instead of continuing to the YMCA, Looye went to Peace Arch Hospital, where it was

determined, he recalled, that he had suffered a stroke.

A day-and-a-half later, he was discharged.“I felt better. I had feeling in my hands and

everything,” he said. A few nights after that, on Valentine’s Day,

Looye was getting ready to leave for another class at the YMCA, when a sharp pain shot up his arm.

“If I’d have had a knife, I’d have cut that muscle right out, that’s how badly it hurt,” he explained.

Back to PAH he went. “They said, ‘Aart, you’re having

a big one this time.’ That’s all I remember. I woke up, and I was at VGH.”

At Vancouver General, Looye underwent a variety of scans and tests, keeping close tabs on the stroke-causing blood clot after it was discovered he was dealing with what doctors told him was “an evolving stroke.”

“If it keeps going, it will kill you. But – long story short – it didn’t,” he said.

Less than a week after he was admitted, his daughter, Robin Latajka, emailed the Peace Arch News to let a reporter know what had happened to her father.

“He’s already talking about you writing a story on his recovery,” she wrote.

After about a month, Looye was deemed stable enough to be discharged from VGH, and he was assigned to Laurel Place, a rehabilitation facility near Surrey Memorial Hospital. He arrived there in a wheelchair, and on his first day, announced that he planned to walk out himself.

For weeks, Looye worked with staff daily as they aimed to improve his mobility, especially on his left side. During recoveries such as his, any progress is measured in

baby steps – a muscle twitch here, a movement there. But Looye wanted more.

On March 25 last year, Looye’s wife, Liz, provided an update, via email, on her husband’s progress. At one point, the letter reads, he fell out of his wheelchair – after which nurses (“kind but

insistent”) demanded that he rely on them more, and call for help when needed.

Looye, she continued, had been begging to walk since his arrival, and staff finally relented, and put him on the facility’s “walking machine” which allowed him to shuffle down a hallway.

“He talked about it all day,” Liz wrote.At the same time, Looye insisted that his

rehab would be further aided by time in the pool, but staff – rightly worried about his

safety – were nervous, he said. But, like with the walking machine, he eventually wore them down, and he was taken to the YMCA.

“I got to the building, got in a wheelchair, went down a ramp, got in the pool and swam away,” he smiled.

Looye’s stubbornness reared its head again during his last week at Laurel Place. Still in his wheelchair, staff informed him that he was to be discharged and sent home.

“When I came in here, what was the first thing I told you?” he asked.

“That you wanted to walk.”“Well I can’t yet, and I’m not leaving until

I do.”Looye remembers staff saying they’d have

to call the police if he refused to leave. “’Go ahead,’ I told them. Two days later,

they had me up, and I walked out of there,” he said.

A short video exists of Looye’s exit, and shows him leaving the building under his own power – with a walker, and caregivers on either side for support. Staff and fellow patients cheer him on as he goes. He’s wearing a sea captain’s hat – a gift, he says, given to him because people at Laurel Place said he “was leaving his ship.”

It’s a personal video that’s tough for Looye to watch. A year ago, when showing it to a

It seems Parker Wotherspoon did enough in his brief eight-game professional hockey career to impress the New York Island-ers.

The Cloverdale native has signed a three-year entry level contract with the Isles, the National Hockey League team announced last week. Wother-spoon, 18, was drafted by the Islanders in last summer’s NHL Entry Draft in the fourth round.

His brother Tyler, also a defenceman, is currently playing in the American Hockey League with the Stockton Heat, the top farm team of the Calgary Flames.

“Beyond excited to have signed with the @nyislanders! Proud to be a part of the organization,” Wotherspoon tweeted the day of his signing.

For the past three seasons, the six-foot, 171-pound defence-man has played for the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League.

He played in 71 of 72 regular season games this past season, scoring 11 goals and adding 45 assists.

Wotherspoon has 22 goals and 94 assists in 210 career games in the WHL, and has also won two medals while playing in interna-tional competition.

He won a bronze medal playing for Canada at the 2015 Under-18 World Junior Championships and a silver with Team Pacific at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

The Americans failed to qualify for the playoffs this past season, and five days after their final game, Wotherspoon signed an amateur-tryout contract with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Con-necticut.

He played in six regular-season games and two playoff contests, recording a pair of assists.

He also racked up 15 pen-alty minutes in the AHL, all accumulated in a fight April 16

against the Albany Devils.After the Tigers were elimi-

nated from the AHL playoffs earlier this month, Wotherspoon was among a group of seven prospects called up to the NHL team by the Islanders.

While he won’t see any game action while the Islanders face-off against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL playoffs, skating with and being around NHL players will help his development.

As a 19-year-old next season, Wotherspoon won’t be eligible to play in the AHL, so unless he makes the Islanders team, he will likely be back in Kennewick, Wash. for a fourth season with the Americans.

After a year in Corvallis with the Oregon Stage University Beavers women’s soccer team, Jenna Baxter is returning to Metro Vancouver.

The Surrey native has signed with the Simon Fraser University Clan for the 2016 season.

“We are excited to add someone of Jenna’s caliber to our squad,” said SFU head coach Annie Hamel. “I know Jenna well and our players are familiar with her as well so it’ll be an easy transition integrating her into the squad for all of us.”

In her freshman season with Oregon State, the midfielder started

nine games and collected a pair of assists.

She has played for the Canadian under-17 team, winning a silver medal at the 2013 CONCACAF Women’s U17 Championship in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

She has also played in the U18 Whitecaps Girls Elite program for two years.

“Jenna was a stand-out with the Whitecaps program because she plays with a lot of heart and a lot of confidence,” said Hamel. “She has a big engine, she is a threat on set pieces, she loves being on the ball.”

PROFESSIONALSON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA

Semi Permanent cosmetic makeup is the art and science of implanting colour into

your skin. Sometimes you see permanent make-up referred to as “cosmetic tattooing” or “semi permanent make-up” as the result can fade over time. We use specialized sterile instruments to place hypoallergenic colour pigments into the deeper layer of the skin. Over a 10 day period, the colour will slowly fade as it is naturally exfoliated from your skin, leaving the true colour embedded in the dermis.

BROWSHair stroke eyebrows, otherwise known as the hair simulation technique, is a technique we use for creating the most natural brows possible. The hair stroke technique mimics your own eyebrow hair thus creating a feathering effect. This innovative technique is far more natural looking than a solid fi ll. If your brows are too light in colour, if you have a gap in your brows due to a scar or even if your brows are nonexistent with the help of hair stroke technique you won’t have to worry about smudging brows or reapplying throughout the day.

LIPSA lip liner procedure will line the lips and can also augment size. This will appear to increase the volume and symmetry of your lip; an illusion you would get with pencil yet only permanent. Shape and colour correction is a popular procedure for women who experience colour loss and defi nition with age. Both procedures have very soft and natural results and can be offered from a large spectrum of beautiful colours for lip shades and liners.

EYE LINERThis permanent cosmetics procedure defi nes the eyes fl awlessly to enhance the exiting eye shape, giving you the choice of a natural look or a bold and dramatic style using thicker lines. Sandy provides 8+ years of experience applying permanent eyeliner and will get the perfect thickness and style that will permanently make your eyes smile! Pigment will be implanted along the lash line to ensure a natural fi nish and comes in many different colours. No more running eyeliner!

visitor, his eyes welled up with tears and he turned his head away. More recently, just the mention of the video – or of his wife, children, or his team of swimmers, the Uncoachables – causes him to choke up, temporarily speechless, before quickly regaining his composure.

“The thing this (stroke) has done, it’s really affected my emotions, that part of my brain,” he explained.

“I can’t keep it under control.”He had a similar moment last

month, when, at BC Masters Swimming Championships, he was surprised to be awarded the Ted Simpson Achievement Award – given to the swimmer deemed to be an inspiration after “overcoming injury, illness or disability.”

At the same meet, Looye won three medals, including one gold, swimming with only his right arm. He learned to use the palm of his good hand as a rudder, to keep from going in circles.

• • •Since his first foray back into

the water, Looye has continued to push himself.

If he could swim during rehab, he thought, why not enter a few local meets? After success there – using his one-arm technique – what was to stop him from signing up for BC Seniors Games, or provincial championships?

After each meet, his medal collection grew.

Somewhere along the way, he said, his doctors, physiotherapists and caregivers – not to mention family and friends – stopped questioning his decision to return to the water.

“Eventually, they all just gave up. I guess they just said, ‘That man is an idiot, let him swim,’” he said, while heaping praise on the team of medical professionals who helped him in his recovery.

“Now, they’re very encouraging.”Looye’s determination is a trait

the senior wears as something of a badge of honour, especially when it comes to his athletic endeavours, which range from keeping the now-defunct Crescent Beach Triathlon alive longer than many expected, to earlier comebacks from injuries

and illnesses. “I could be a couch potato now,

if I wanted to be. But that’s not me,” he said. “I’ve had rotator-cuff surgery, I’ve had a knee replacement, I’ve had cancer, and now a stroke – what else do you want?”

There have been recent setbacks, however.

Looye still has extremely limited movement in his left arm, but insists he’ll “get it to work, sooner or later,” and he cannot drive, relying heavily on HandyDart service to get around.

As well, a pair of visits to the cardiologist identified two different heart problems. The first were blocked arteries, which required the angioplasty, while a second visit found that Looye suffered from atrial fibrillation – an irregular heartbeat.

A month ago, to solve the latter issue, Looye underwent a heart conversion, in which the heart is stopped, then restarted again, hopefully with a regular beat.

When he asked how a previously healthy individual could suffer from atrial fibrillation, Looye’s cardiologist told him it’s a condition common among aging athletes, as their hearts have often worked overtime compared to the average person.

“All you old athletes are the same – you all get it,” the doctor told Looye. “You train too hard. Don’t you ever give up?”

Looye appreciative of caregivers from page 25
