A garden of promise

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOAndrea Ashton and Dylan smile as Scarlet and her mom Zipporah Hantke plant a seed potato at the new Cloverdale Community Garden. The volunteer initiative will grow produce for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen.

By Jennifer LangVolunteer green thumbs are invited

to join Cloverdale’s newest gardening venture, the Cloverdale Community Garden.

Th ere’s no experience necessary – just a desire to get more involved with your community, from the ground up.

“Come and learn to garden if you don’t know how,” says Zipporah Hantke, one of the organizers.

Th e just-launched project will grow organic veggies, fruits, berries and herbs for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen and community cooking class-es. Th e programs are based out of Pacifi cCommunity Church, located at 5337 180 St., where a neglected corner of the back parking lot is being transformed into a productive agricultural space.

“It’s for the community,” Hantke says. “We want the community in here.”

A work party on March 28 saw the installation of 12, 4-by-8-foot raised garden beds plus six herb boxes.

Andrea Ashton – part of the core group of volunteers involved so far – says the garden will grow spinach, chard, beans, potatoes, onions, toma-toes, squash and herbs. Cherry and apple trees will be planted, along with bee-friendly fl owers and berry bushes.

Planting will begin in earnest later this spring. Workers will be required throughout the summer.

“We’re hoping to have a harvest cele-bration in the fall, with a meal,” Hantke smiles, her mind already fi lled with im-

Marking a McHappy anniversaryBy Jennifer LangTwo days aft er his 16th birthday, James

Harper got his fi rst job.He was hired to clear tables, sweep the

fl oor, and clean the parking areas at a McDonald’s on Portage Avenue in his home-town of Winnipeg. “Lot and lobby,” he says.

It was 1975, and landing a job at the world’s biggest, best-known fast-food chain was a big deal; like getting a job at Google today.

“It was the job to have,” he says. “Th ey had literally hundreds and hundreds of appli-cants and somehow I got it.”

Last Wednesday, (April 15), marked his 40th anniversary with McDonald’s, where he’s built a successful career and carved out a family business.

Th ings have changed a lot since that fi rst shift – it was pre-Egg McMuffi n, for one

thing. Th e breakfast menu wasn’t introduced until 1977, so he didn’t start until 10 a.m. Perfect for a teenager.

He got front counter experience, too, and in those days, you had to know math to ring up an order.

Th e menu has also expanded in four de-cades, from mostly burgers to Happy Meals, McCafe mochas and salads to his frequent breakfast go-to, a parfait and oatmeal.

“We’ve probably sold as many salads as burgers,” notes Harper, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese fan whose teenaged ‘McJob’ has been anything but.

Harper may have started out sweeping fl oors, but within two years (at 19) was pro-moted to restaurant manager, launching a career that’s taken him west to B.C., state-side in 1999 to McDonald’s Chicago head-quarters – where he re-wrote curriculum for

crew and senior managers – and eventually around the world for McDonald’s, an empire that at the time encompassed 121 countries, 28 languages and seven Burger Universities.

He became a franchisee in 2004 and now owns seven McDonald’s restaurants in the Lower Mainland, with three in Surrey, including the one in Cloverdale, where he lives.

His wife, Tracy, is a co-owner and op-erator. (Th ey met in Winnipeg, where she worked at McDonald’s, too.) Cortney, one of their three daughters, is a swing manager in Cloverdale. And his son-in-law Ivan Krcmar is operations manager, overseeing the Surrey restaurants.

Harper says a good relationship with the community is critical; his restaurants

support scholarships, school fun days, and minor hockey team sponsorships, along with helping out with larger community events like Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights and civic events.

He also supports the Challenger Baseball Pro-gram for children with physical and cognitive dis-abilities.

Among his proudest accomplishments is earning the company’s People Award, an honour he shares with Tracy.

“It’s a big deal to me,” he says.Th at’s because he considers people the most im-

portant part of the business, and counsels his staff to treat every customer like their own grandmother.

Harper’s 40th anniversary date also happened to be national hiring day, a one-day hiring blitz where job-seekers are invited to apply and learn more about working at McDonald’s.

He takes pride in providing opportunities in his restaurants for young people.

He tells new employees if they want to be success-ful, the most important thing is to treat others with dignity and respect, and to work hard.

“Th at sounds so simple, but it’s not.”To this day, he runs to open the door when he

sees a customer waiting and he isn’t above picking up stray French fries off the fl oor, even if his days of custodial duties are long over.

“I tell my crew people, if you think you’re above it, you’re never above it.”

Looking back, he realizes that particular Win-nipeg McDonald’s was a rich training ground. Harper lists at least six former colleagues who are still working today as owner/operators in B.C., Al-berta and NWT.

“We were all crew people together – except for one manager. It just shows the opportunity it gave for young people.”

Th ey used to play baseball and hockey aft er work, all team sports, he notes. McDonald’s, he said, “was another team. We had some good people leading us within that restaurant.”

He doesn’t know exactly what the future holds,

but evolution is key.“[McDonald’s founder] Ray Kroc said, ‘I don’t

know what I will be selling in the year 2000, but I want to be selling more of it than anyone else.’ You’ve got to change with the consumer. Th at’s the king in our business.”

By Sheila ReynoldsA dozen students

at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School have been disciplined for allegedly circulating inappropriate photos of other students at the school.

According to Doug Strachan, communica-tions manager for the Surrey School District, a student reported to school offi cials last week that some senior students had suggestive photos of girls at Lord Tweedsmuir.

“School and district offi cials began an inves-tigation and police have been notifi ed,” said

Strachan, adding the discipline involved both

boys and girls in Grade 11 and 12.

He couldn’t say whether the students were suspended or expelled, citing privacy concerns.

“It’s certainly unfor-tunate for the students involved,” Strachan said, “but also that a handful or so students of almost 2,000 at Lord Tweedsmuir can bring this kind of attention to the school when there have been many examples of very posi-tive student initiatives and actions supporting their community in and outside of the school.”

ages of the garden reaching its full potential.

Th ere’s easy access to a water sup-ply, thanks to the City of Surrey, which built a watering station for its landscaping fl eet at the foot of 180 St. Th e city agreed to let the gardenersuse the water for free. A regular garden hose can be connected to it using an inexpensive adaptor. West-coast Gardens, J. DeWitt Enterpris-es, Country Lumber, and Fields Tree

Service have also provided support. Th e commercial-grade kitchen

inside the church is home to three existing programs assisting Clover-dale’s less fortunate, and is working to expand programs and the facility’s reach within the community.

Cooking classes held over spring break were a hit – especially with kids, Hantke said. “Th ey loved it.”

Parking is a serious problemTo the editor;

Re: “Bring on bigger fi nes,” Letters, April 15I, too, 100 per cent agree (and I’m sure many

others) with Mike Bola and Crystal Litonjua on this topic.

People with unauthorized suites are making it a “free-for-all” for us law-abiding citizens.

Some of us like our homes and neighbours yet simply cringe living here because of the parking issue.

Th ese so called “property managers” (give me a break with the title, as they can’t understand basic city bylaws and get a kick out of dealing

with poorly-screened tenants) have caused havoc with park-ing and living issues. Th e city should have “residential only park-ing” areas or assigned

parking for home owners. I’ve heard of deals where the rent is less if

the coach home occupant parks on the public street. Lucky people in the illegal suite below who already are parked on the street, too.

Try getting out of your carport to get to work when some ignorant person is blocking your driveway in a “no parking” alley (the signs clearly state this).

Th is serious issue needs a fi x for the sake of sanity.

To the editor

To the editor;Re: “Tram ‘tots’ to ride

once more,” April 2You have a history within

a history here. Yarrow, B.C., is a town

founded by German immi-grants prior to the start of the second World War.

Th at did not prevent them from being discrimi-nated against, even though they had absolutely noth-ing to do with the Nazi regime. Th at is another story, that should be told, and frequently is.

You will notice that Anne Dyke, and her sister Marlene Penner, and Elsie Giesbrecht, are all German names, who attended Yarrow Elementary School in Yarrow.

Th ose three women mentioned would be fi rst or second generation Ca-nadians, who happened to have parents or grandpar-ents born in Germany.

Th ey made great neigh-bors. If your house or barn burned down, they would have lumber, nails and hammers, building you a new replacement, before you even had a chance to contact your fi re insurance agent.

How do I know this? Our family lived only fi ve miles

from Yarrow, above the B.C. Electric Railway, on the side of Vedder Moun-tain, between Belrose and Kidd Station, on the B.C. Electric Railway, above the lush Fraser Valley, where many German immigrants farmed.

Residents can ex-pect the second round to begin April 27 and the third on May 11, the Ministry of Forests said, adding the dates are tentative, because it depends on the weather and the rate of insect development.

More than 4,500 hect-ares in Surrey and 200 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B to eradicate the introduced moth.

Due to the size of the area being targeted, each round is expected require four, consecu-tive days of spraying.

Th e targeted areas include most of Clover-dale, from the Langley border to 144 Street, be-tween Highway 10 and 80 Avenue.

Last week, the minis-

try said some residents living immediately next to the treatment areas might hear the low-fl ying helicopter as it turned around and re-aligned, however many people were caught off -guard.

“Rude awakenings,” Yvette Gorsline wrote on Twitter, where she posted a photograph of the helicopter.

Cloverdale resident Tanya Rowlands, mean-while, said she was wor-ried about the formula-tion of the spray agent and raised her concerns with a forest ministry offi cial.

Foray 48B contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control cater-pillars. It kills larvae af-ter they ingest it, but is not toxic to humans, or other mammals, plants, birds, fi sh, honeybees or other benefi cial insects, according to the B.C. Environment Ministry.

Th e spray leaves a residue but won’t cause damage to automobiles, or homes.

“Even though there is no evidence of harm to humans from Btk, per-sons with respiratory ailments or other health concerns may wish to reduce their exposure to the product during the spray operation,”

reads a statement on the ministry website, which suggests people close windows the evening before aerial spraying takes place and to stay indoors until the prod-uct has had time to dry (a few hours).

Th e fi rst treatment round wrapped up Sun-day, April 19, aft er the spraying of what the ministry calls a criti-cal, 300-m strip that re-mained untreated along 170 and 171 Streets.

Residents can help

prevent the moth from getting established in B.C. by inspecting all outdoor plant waste for egg masses and ensur-ing all green waste goes into the green bin.

Nearly 200 male Eu-ropean gypsy moths were caught in phero-mone traps last summer in Cloverdale on trees along 64 Avenue.

Slain man nephew of MLATh e man killed in a shooting early Sunday morn-

ing in Surrey is the nephew of a local politician.Tthe 22-year-old victim, Arun Paul Singh Bains,

is the nephew of Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains. A B.C. NDP spokesperson said Harry Bains would be spending time with family Monday and would not be available for comment.

Arun Bains was rushed to hospital shortly before 3 a.m. April 19 aft er being shot near 126 Street and 88 Avenue. He succumbed to his injuries.

A dark-coloured, four-door Mazda 3 riddled with bullet holes remained at the shooting scene Sunday.

Th e deadly shooting was another in a string of about two dozen gun incidents in Surrey and North Delta in the past month and a half. Th is is the fi rst one to claim a life.

Last week, Surrey RCMP and Delta Police an-nounced they believed the shooting spree stemmed from a drug turf war between rival groups of Soma-lian and South Asians. Th ey even took the step of releasing names and photos of men believed to be involved in hopes someone would be able to shed light on their activities.

Cloverale ceremony marks Vimy Ridge WWI battle

PHIL EDGE PHOTOSArmy, navy and air cadets from across the Fraser Valley joined veterans, police and fi re fi ghters April 12 at the Cloverdale Cenotaph to remember Ca-nadian soldiers who fought and died in the battle of Vimy Ridge. The battle claimed more than 10,000 casualties, with 3,598 killed and 7,104 injured.

By Jennifer LangCadets from across the Fraser

Valley joined Royal Canadian Legion members, police and fi refi ghters at the Cloverdale Cenotaph, where they took part in a commemorative ceremony mark-ing Vimy Ridge Day.

An Honour Guard of army, navy and air cadets stood watch at the Cenotaph at Sur-rey Museum Plaza for the service.

Fr. Rufo Zarate of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Surrey read the prayer, while participants took time to remember Canadian soldiers who fought and died in the battle of Vimy Ridge.

“Th e Battle of Vimy Ridge is considered

Canada’s coming of age because Cana-dian soldiers accomplished what British and French soldiers had failed to do when they captured Vimy Ridge from German forces,” explained Captain Mark Iredale, Commanding Offi cer of the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, RCACC Langley.

“An important part of the cadet pro-gram is to educate youth about Canadian military history.”

Th e Canadian soldiers were given the task of capturing the German-held ridge, located 175 km north of Paris.

Th e ridge was heavily fortifi ed with tunnels, machine gun nests, trenches and barbed wire.

Fighting waged from April 9 to 12, 1917, as wave upon wave of Canadian soldiers faced bombardment from shells and ma-chine gun fi re to take the ridge – at great cost and sacrifi ce – a task deemed impos-sible by the French and the British.

Th e battle claimed more than 10,000 casualties, with 3,598 killed and 7,104 in-jured.

Th ousands more were missing and pre-sumed dead.

Th e April 12 service was followed by a parade from Surrey Museum Plaza to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 Cloverdale. More than 100 cadets marched through the historic town centre.

Free military boothTh e Surrey Night Market re-

turns to the Cloverdale Exhibi-tion Grounds on May 29, with an off er of free vendor booths to immediate family members of all Canadian Forces person-nel and veterans living in B.C.

Th e open air market – in its second season – is described as a multicultural, family-friendly event that is expected to draw 4,000 to 6,000 visitors on each of the 51 nights it is open.

Operating hours are set for 6-11 p.m. every Friday, Satur-day and Sunday through Sept. 20.

Th e off er to Canadian Forces personnel and veterans is avail-able to those who register for the whole season. A refund-able security deposit will be required, and all conditions of Fraser Health and the City of

Surrey must be met.Market offi cials announced

in December that Canadian Forces personnel and veterans will also be exempt from paying admission to the market (as will children under 48 inches when accompanied by family, those who rely on a wheelchair and those aged 75 years and older).

Shoe sale secrecyIt’s a sporting event disguised

as a shoe sale, and with brands like Betsey Johnson, Nine West and Calvin Klein off ered up at discount prices, it’s little won-der shoppers froth themselves into a frenzy.

Wednesday, May 6 is the 66th annual Legendary Shoe Sale at

Army & Navy stores, includ-ing the location at the Langley Mall. Th is year there will fea-ture a selection of luxury labels the Canadian-owned and oper-ated discount department store chain won’t reveal.

“Why the secrecy? Because each and every pair will be priced under $50,” Army & Navy president and CEO Jacqui Cohen said in a press release. A sneak peek is at armyandnavy.ca.

Doors will open at 8 a.m. sharp.

Upbeat outlookMore construction work is

expected in the Lower Main-land construction industry this year. Th e Vancouver Re-gional Construction Associa-tion said the outlook is gener-

ally positive, citing record low mortgage rates, an improving regional economy and rising population growth as favour-able conditions for more new building investment.

Building permits issued across the Lower Mainland totalled $630 million in Feb-ruary, up 15 per cent from the same month a year ago.

Th e building association said the milder than usual win-ter has meant a faster uptick in seasonal construction than normal.

It forecasts total building permits this year will end up fi ve to 10 per cent higher than in 2014. Th ere were 117,700 construction sector jobs in the Lower Mainland region as of March, up 0.6 per cent from February but down 9.3 per cent from a year earlier.

Th e state-of-the-art equipment and train-ing areas and the ability to connect with trained fi tness attendants at any time has greatly increased the variety of fi tness classes and physical activities available to Cloverdale seniors.

Fitness for youSome of the instructor-

led fi tness classes geared specifi cally to older adults include, but are not limited to, Low Impact fi tness, Chair exercises, Osteoar-thritis fi tness, yoga, and circuit weight training.

The special recipes will be part of the regular menu. The concept is the brainchild of president Todd Simmons, a foodie who was keen to provide special dinners on the regular menu, because many residents aren’t able to ‘dine out.’

My achy, breaky body: living with painBy Fred Cheng, R.Ph, and Christine

Cheng, R.Ph

Pain. What a terrible, four-letter word. However, living pain-free may be more within reach than you think.

Without trivializing it too much, pain is a perceived sensation with many potential causes. It is a subjective feeling triggered in the nervous system by a physical stimulus such as a blunt or shearing force, a chemical, a poke, a pinch, etc.

So, we can feel “pain” when we get a triv-ial paper cut or, more seriously, suff er a car accident, shingles outbreak, pinched nerve, severed limb, etc.

In a way, it is an evil game of “telephone” be-tween the trigger site and your brain. Imagine if we can somehow interrupt this telephone game; the message would be lost and you would not have that sensation of pain any-more. Sound too good to be true? Read on.

First, we would need to fi nd some kind of substance or medication that can interrupt this painful message and, literally, act as a “targeted pain block”.

Th ere are many options that are available over-the-counter (OTC) at Cloverdale Phar-masave, without a prescription, including (but not limited to) Traumeel gel or oint-ment, MSM Cream, Zeel Ointment, Dyna-mint, Chapman’s Liniment, Arnica Tincture, DMSO Gel or Lotion, or even Rub A535.

If you have tried those products already, but with limited success, consider specialty OTC compounds that use substances such as dextromethorphan and guaifenesin. For those with more severe pain, prescription in-gredients such as gabapentin, amitriptyline,

baclofen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, and ket-amine may be prescribed by your physician.It is important to recognize that choosing the right ingredient is only one part of the puzzle. Th e next step is to somehow direct this sub-stance to a specifi c location where it is needed to interrupt the communication of the painful stimulus to the brain.

Th e best way to do this is by putting the pain medicine into a specialized, topical gel such as Lipoderm, which can drive the medication through the skin via pockets (or “micelles”) formed in the gel during its compounding process.

Only a true compounding pharmacy such as Cloverdale Pharmasave would have the ex-pertise in personnel and equipment to prop-erly create a gel containing micelles through the use of a mill.

Sounds like a lot of gibberish? Bottom-line is that a properly-compounded product can deliver the pain medication directly to the site where it is needed, with very minimal risk of

systemic (“widespread”) side-eff ects, interac-tions, or addiction/abuse potential.

If you are living in pain, we can help you put a damper on it. Come talk to our com-pounding pain experts. You can also discuss your pain history with us in a consultation setting by appointment. Let us work with you and your team of physicians to fi nd a solution that is customized to you.

a fragment of Clova Cin-ema history – for free.

Th e new owners of the now-shuttered Clover-dale landmark are off er-ing up the former movie house’s seats free to any-one who wants them.

Surrey City Coun-cil recently approved a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) gov-erning renovations on the historic 1947 the-atre, a rare surviving

example in Cloverdale of streamline moderne,

a style characterized by its smooth, curving, stucco-cladded exterior.

Th e HRA will ensure the new owners (Cross-Ridge Church/Willing-don Charitable Holdings Society) will preserve and restore the heritage building, designed by ar-chitect H. H. Simmonds and listed on the city’s heritage register.

Th e HRA approval meant the much-needed renovations and repairs could get underway.

Property agent Ber-

nie Scholz said last last spring a building inspec-tion revealed the Clova needs a new roof and re-pairs to the front canopy.

“Free theatre seats from the Clova… any takers?” Cloverdale BIA executive director Paul Orazietti wondered on Twitter, posting pho-tos of work underway at the heritage theatre and a shot of the well-loved auditorium seats. “Please call BIA 604-576-3155 ASAP.”

TWITTER.COMRestoration crews have removed the old seats at the former Clova Cinema.

By Lauren CollinsSurrey Little Th eatre’s fi nal

play of the season, Truth and Rec-onciliation, invites the audience to witness what costs are paid by true humanitarians, according to Alaina Holland.

Holland directed the play, but she’s no newbie to the Surrey Lit-tle Th eatre (7027 184 St.). Th is is Holland’s fourth time directing at the theatre.

“I feel this show is a hybrid of genres. Components of mystery, drama and romance are woven throughout the story,” Holland said.

Holland said she didn’t know much about truth and reconcilia-tion commissions until she start-ed her research. She added she’s still no expert.

“In this show we get an idea of the impact this type of pro-cess can have on individuals and also what the facilitators hope to achieve,” she said.

“However, the scenes that take place in the commission are not used as a political platform, but rather are rooted in the emotion-al impact that living in a volatile, violent country can have on indi-viduals.”

Th e play – which is set in 1998 in a Central American country rife with civil unrest – unfolds mostly in fl ashbacks from three years earlier,

Young doctor Ben Montgom-ery (played by Richard Wiens) wants to help the sick and the poor, but he falls in love with Beatriz (portrayed by Mallory

Polliyaguru).Montgomery goes missing

and a few years later, his par-ents (played by Cindy Peterson and Simon Challenger) attend a Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission in hopes of fi nding out what happened to their son.

Th e play was written by Etan Frankel, who currently writes for Showtime’s Shameless.

In 2006, Frankel won an L. Ar-nold Weissberger for the play.

Truth and Reconciliation runs from to May 16, Th ursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees on April 26 and May 3 and 9 a.m. at 2 p.m.

Tickets cost $15 except for preview and opening nights, on April 16 and 17 respectively, when tickets are half price.

Tardi to represent Canada at Youth Winter Olympics

By Jennifer LangSurrey’s Tyler Tardi is off to the

Youth Winter Olympics in Lille-hammer, Norway.

Th e Lord Tweedsmuir Second-ary student is one of two junior curlers from B.C. who have been picked for Team Canada at the 2016 games.

Tardi, who plays out of the Langley Curling Club, and Ster-ling Middleton of Fort St. John won bronze at the Canada Win-ter Games in Prince George as part of Team B.C.

“I’m at a loss for words,” Tardi said, reacting to the news. “It’s amazing. I’ve always wanted to wear the Maple leaf and that dream has now come true.”

Middleton is looking forward to being on a team with Tardi, who skipped Team B.C. to that third-place fi nish. “I think we meshed well together this year, so it will be great to curl with him again.”

Th e two 16-year-olds will be joined by Mary Fay and Karlee Burgess from Nova Scotia, fresh off a silver medal win in women’s curling at the Canada Winter Games.

Team Canada applicants were judged on their curling skills, along with their community leadership and academic experi-

ence, according to a press release from Curl BC.

“Th e quality of applications we received through this process was simply amazing, and it bodes well for the future of our sport in Canada,” Curling Canada’s Greg Stremlaw said.

“I know Tyler, Sterling, Mary and Karlee will wear the Maple Leaf proudly in Lillehammer, and we’re confi dent that they’ll be wonderful representatives, both on and off the ice.”

Tardi is a two-time B.C. mixed doubles champion who compet-ed at the 2013 and 2015 Cana-dian Mixed Doubles Trials.

B.C. was represented at the in-augural 2012 Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, when Corryn Brown of Kamloops played third on the Canadian team that won bronze.

Th e 2016 Youth Olympics are in Lillehammer between Feb. 12 to 21, 2016.

By Rick KupchukTwo weeks aft er his Tri-City Americans were

eliminated from the Western Hockey League play-off s, Parker Wotherspoon is in Switzerland skating for Canada at the International Ice Hockey Federa-tion’s U18 World Championships.

Th e 17-year-old, who played his minor hockey in Cloverdale, is among seven defencemen with Team Canada at the 10-team tournament which runs April 16-26 in Zug and Lucerne, Swizerland.

Canada won the fi rst of four preliminary round games 11-6 over Latvia on Th ursday. Wotherspoon contributed with a pair of assists.

He had another helper in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Switzerland, then netted his fi rst goal of the tourna-ment in a 3-2 victory over the Czech Republic.

Wotherspoon is ranked 43rd among North American skaters for the National Hockey League Entry Draft in June. He completed second season with the Americans as their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points. He add-ed an assist in four playoff games, aft er which the Americans were eliminated in straight games by the Kelowna Rockets.

He tallied twice and added 16 assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a third-round selection in the Entry Draft .

Canada concluded the preliminary round yester-day (Tuesday) with a game against undefeated Fin-land. Th e quarterfi nal round of the playoff s begin tomorrow (Th ursday).

‘Wrench heads’ set to rev things upBy Jennifer LangTh ousands of mo-

By Jeff NagelTh e fi rst regular shipment of

human milk donated by lactating women across the Lower Main-land has now arrived at Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals for sick and premature babies in their neonatal intensive care units.

Donor milk is processed at the Provincial Milk Bank at B.C. Women’s Hospital, which has expanded its capacity aft er Fra-ser Health last year opened new human milk collection depots across the region.

Donations are now taken at all health units in Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Delta (two sites), Maple Ridge, Surrey (four sites), White Rock, Langley, Mission, Abbotsford, Agassiz, Chilliwack and Hope.

Premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk are at greater risk of certain infections, including a devastat-ing bowel disease. Th ey oft en have compromised immune sys-tems, underdeveloped stomachs or other conditions that make them more vulnerable.

Some moms struggle to pro-vide milk or aren’t permitted to because of illness or medications they use.

Lactating moms who have been screened are encouraged to

collect extra breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it.

Pasteurized donor milk has active benefi cial properties for babies, providing them with anti-bodies to fi ght disease and infec-tion.

“In the past, this demand has been diffi cult to meet but now families will have expanded ac-

cess to safe, pasteurized donor human milk,” said provincial milk bank coordinator Frances Jones.

By Jeff NagelTh e regulatory body

for B.C. pharmacists hasn’t given up on its agenda to ban pharma-cies from handing out loyalty reward points on drug purchases, or to eventually ban ciga-rette sales.

A ban imposed by the College of Pharma-cists of B.C. was struck down in B.C. Supreme Court last summer, but an appeal fi led by the college will be heard in December.

Th e college argued loyalty points are a powerful lure for con-sumers that can alter their medication buy-ing habits and poten-tially harm their health. It was fought in court by major supermarket chains.

Th e judge in the trial ruled the ban on all loyalty incentives was “unreasonable” and concerns raised were

“illogical.”College spokes-

man Mykle Ludvigsen wouldn’t comment on the grounds for appeal.

One of the objections raised was that insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might continue to refi ll a pre-scription aft er they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or di-verted to the illegal drug trade.

Tobacco sales by pharmacies are also in the crosshairs of the college.

Ludvigsen said there is no specifi c timeline to impose such a ban but the college’s 2014 strategic plan calls for the board to pursue one.

“We’re the only prov-ince that currently al-lows cigarettes to be sold in premises that contain a pharmacy,” he

said. “It completely goes against the pharmacy as a health centre. To sell things we know kill you at the front of the store and to sell things that help you get better at the back of the store is a bit of a confl ict.”

Retail chains have warned they would challenge the college’s jurisdiction if it moves to impose a tobacco ban and would also sue the college and its directors for lost sales that would result if their stores can’t sell cigarettes.

“Th e law does not take a positive view of activities which rep-resent unwarranted restraint of trade,” says a letter to the college sent last fall by ex-ecutives from London Drugs, Safeway, Rex-all, Sobey’s, Overwait-ea Food Group, and Th rift y Foods.
