Conditional sentence said by Crown to discourage ‘vigilantism’

No jail time advised for dog theftsAlex BrowneStaff Reporter

A woman who admits to stealing dogs has told a judge she has suffered enough.

Former South Surrey resident Janet Olson, 61, attended a sentencing hear-ing Friday at Surrey Provincial Court, which heard submissions from Crown counsel Michelle Wray and both Olson’s lawyer, Craig Sicotte, and Olson herself.

Olson, now a Langley resident, has admitted to stealing two dogs and

attempting to steal a third in what she claims were acts of compassion toward mistreated animals.

Wray, arguing that principles of “denunciation and deterrence” must be paramount for admitted criminal acts – to discourage “vigilantism” – is asking the court for a conditional sentence of between a year and 18 months to be served in the community.

Judge Melissa Gillepsie is scheduled to render a sentence on Feb. 24.

In an agreed statement of facts, Olson has acknowledged she took two dogs, from residences in Chilliwack and Rich-mond in 2009 and 2010, and was in the act of stealing a bulldog in Coquitlam when arrested in November 2011.

Wray told Peace Arch News during a break in proceedings that the Crown intends to stay 38 other dog-theft-related charges against Olson at the conclusion of sentencing.

The Crown introduced Olson’s own

journal of the incidents and emails between her and other members of her organization, A Better Life Dog Rescue (ABLDR), as supporting evidence.

For Olson, it was a chance to defend her actions in court, after more than three years since her original arrest.

In videos and photos of other cases in which severe mistreatment of dogs chained and confined outside was dem-onstrated – and in her own emotional,

Murder charge proceeds

Mother deemedfit for trialTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A South Surrey mother charged with second-degree murder in con-nection with the death last month of her eight-year-old daughter has been deemed fit to stand trial.

The informa-tion regarding Lisa Deanne Batstone was shared Monday in Surrey Pro-vincial Court, as a half-dozen supporters lis-tened from the gallery.

Batstone was arrested Dec. 10, after her daugh-

ter, Teagan, was found deceased in the back of a car in a cul-de-sac just south of Crescent Road.

A “fitness assessment” was ordered for the 41-year-old dur-ing a Dec. 18 court appearance. Lawyer Craig Sicotte told reporters at the time that his client’s mental health was “a very serious concern” that cast doubt on whether a trial could proceed.

Hundreds of revellers rang in the new year Thursday with a chilly dip into Semiahmoo Bay, at White Rock’s 45th annual Polar Bear Swim.

In total, 723 registered to take part in the event, according to organizers – and an estimated 100-200 unregistered swimmers also dove in – while thou-sands more watched from the shore and pier.

“It was well-attended, the weather was perfect – it couldn’t have gone any better,” said Rotary District 5050 assistant governor Linda Coyle, noting the parking lots were packed and organizers even ran out of hot chocolate.

Coyle attributed the boost in interest partly to the weather, and also to the fact it was a family event.

“People went into the water at noon, but even at one o’clock, people were still on the beach, buying hot dogs and drinking coffee,” Coyle said.

This year’s event was, for the first time, organized not by the local Lions Club – which folded due to declining membership – but instead by the five local Rotary Clubs, with further support from RCM-SAR5 Crescent Beach, YWCA, Interact, Jimmy Flynn’s and the City of White Rock.

Monday, Sicotte told the court he was “content” with the finding, and asked that his client be remanded until Jan. 26. She is being held at a psychiatric hospital.

Outside court, the accused’s father, Barry Hamilton, said he is glad his daughter – who he visits every other day – is not in a jail setting.

“She needs to be in an environment where she can build up her strength and confi-dence,” he said.

He said he was not surprised by suggestions mental illness played a role in the tragedy, noting bipolar disorder runs in his family.

Hamilton reiterated that the mother and daughter were “so close,” and that Teagan’s death is “incomprehensible.”

A man remained in critical condition the day after being airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries following a single-vehicle collision in South Surrey Sunday.

The 31-year-old driver had been travelling eastbound on 8 Avenue, near 192 Street, when his grey Toyota Yaris went off road and struck a tree, according to Surrey RCMP.

The man – the lone occupant of the car – was trapped in the vehicle until Surrey fire crews and ambulance attended the scene, extracting him from the car and transport-

ing him to hospital.As of Peace Arch News press time Monday,

the man was listed in critical condition. His name had not been released.

Weather conditions and speed are being looked into as possible factors for the crash.

Investigators ask that anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or observed the vehicle on 8 Avenue prior to the collision, to call 604-599-0502, or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Mayors start 2015 by setting the bar high

New Year’s baby

First for B.C.Nick GreenizanStaff Reporter

What was expected to be a Christmas present for Langley parents Darlene Henley and Shane Lahn turned out to be a New Year’s gift instead.

Just after midnight on Jan. 1 – five seconds, by official count – Henley gave birth at Peace Arch Hospital to the province’s first baby of 2015: a seven pound, 14-ounce boy named Lincoln.

“It was cutting it close,” said Fraser Health spokesperson Ken Donohue, referring to the newborn’s arrival just a few seconds into the new year.

Donohue said it’s the first time that the province’s New Year’s baby has been born at Peace Arch Hospital.

Originally, the baby was due on Christmas Day, but arrived a week later instead.

“He was supposed to be a Christmas baby but he’s a New Year’s baby instead – they just come out when they want to,” Henley said Monday.

It took a few days for the parents to decide on a name, though Henley told Peace Arch News Lincoln was their favourite.

“We just decided to take our time and make sure (it was the right name). They have it for the rest of their life, right?”

Henley said she received flowers from the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary, and Lincoln was given a blanket and a teddy bear.

Henley – whose two-year-old son, Jaxson, was also born at Peace Arch Hospital – did not find out until that morning that her newborn son was B.C.’s first of the year.

“It’s pretty amazing,” she said, noting Jaxson, at first, was a little unsure around the family’s newest addition, but didn’t take long to come around.

“He’s a good big brother,” she said.

November incident

Handgunsuspectsketched

Surrey RCMP last week released a composite drawing and are ask-ing for the public’s help to identify a male suspect in a Nov. 29 South Surrey incident in which a stranger approached a young woman and pointed a firearm at her.

An 18-year-old woman was walk-ing home from a friend’s house in the vicinity of 152 Street and 20 Avenue at 11:30 p.m. when a man pointed a black handgun at her

and told her not to run.

The woman, who had been wearing head-phones at the time of the inci-dent, removed them when she realized some-one was talking to her. The man was standing

near the entrance to a pathway on the south side of 20 Avenue, in the 15100-block.

The woman quickly walked away, and then ran south on 152 Street before returning home safely. Police attended the scene with a service dog but were unable to locate any evidence.

The suspect is described as South Asian, in his early 30s and approxi-mately five-foot-eight to five-foot-nine, with short black hair and facial stubble. He was wearing a black trenchcoat, black shoes and may have been wearing jeans.

While police are continuing to interview business owners and residents and canvassing for video surveillance footage, they ask any-one with information who has not already spoken to them to call Sur-rey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or, if they wish to remain anonymous, CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca

The mayors of Surrey and White Rock say they don’t want to be overly ambitious when it comes to making New Year’s resolutions for 2015, both for themselves and for the cities they serve.

But both say they would be happy to make some progress in key areas that would pro-mote the livability of their communities.

“I’ve given up making resolutions for myself – they start really well but they don’t end well,” chuckled White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin last week. “Although I think I will be making an effort to continue yoga.”

As far as his city is concerned, Baldwin said he wanted to launch his second term concentrating on the priorities he discussed during the election campaign leading up to November’s vote. Top of the list is lobbying the BNSF and federal transportation author-

ities to reroute train traffic – particularly coal trains and dangerous goods – off of the waterfront, with the eventual goal of remov-ing the railway altogether, he said.

“I hope we can realize this, ultimately, although it may take a number of years,” he said. “Obviously, it can’t all be done in 2015, but I hope we can, at least, take the first steps toward this.”

Other priorities, Baldwin said, include continuing the city’s move toward acquiring White Rock’s water utility from Epcor, and updating the city’s official community plan.

“We need to deal with a couple of issues, including the Everall neighbourhood – Oxford to Martin, north of Thrift – and a couple of other areas that need to be tidied up a bit. Once we get through with that, we need to focus on Johnston Road.”

Former longtime Surrey councillor Linda Hepner said that, after seven months of suc-

cessfully campaigning for the mayor’s chair, coming down with a bad cold “the moment I got a minute to relax,” has told her she needs to focus on creating a balance between her work-ing and personal lives.

“I’m a very task-focused person, and while my res-olution is to be the best mayor I can be for the city, that means establishing the balance that is necessary for my personal life as a mother, a grandma and a wife,” she said.

But, she added, she sees nothing wrong with being ambitious at the onset of a new year.

“It’s good to set the mark high right at the beginning,” she said.

Some areas Hepner believes the city can

make progress on in 2015 include moving forward with Surrey’s commu-nity plan, beginning the process of establishing a community court to help reduce case backlogs and make the decision process easier and faster, and creat-ing a greater emphasis on mental-health issues and addiction counselling.

“I also want some of the work we’re doing with Innovation Boulevard in the city cen-tre (to) get the international attention it deserves,” she said.

“The first part has been focused on health technology, but I want to see us expand that to include mental health and also agricul-ture, food security, cultural and creative industries, as well.”

sometimes-tearful statement – Olson attempted to show she had been driven to taking the law into her own hands by seeing animals perish, and in the appar-ent inability of the BCSPCA to intervene or investigate com-plaints by neighbours.

She said she believed that rather than breaking the law, she was acting to enforce existing animal-protection laws.

The Crown, however, main-tained it did not accept that the animals taken by Olson were in fact in distress.

Over the course of ABLDR activities, Olson and Sicotte said, tips on mistreated dogs had come from both SPCA members and police officers who felt limited in the actions they could take.

The defendant and her attorney also chronicled emotional distress, physical harm and financial hard-ship she has suffered, and noted she has already spent a week in jail awaiting a bail hearing.

The court heard she had been subject to harassment and death threats following an RCMP news release that described her orga-nization’s actions as stealing dogs which were later sold for profit – an assertion Olson vehemently dismissed.

“There isn’t anything worse you could say about me, or more of a lie,” she told Gillespie.

As a result of the police state-ment, Sicotte said, volunteer and

financial support for ABLDR had collapsed, preventing the saving of hundreds of dogs that would otherwise have been brought into Canada from “kill shelters” in the U.S.

Olson has been found guilty of breaching bail conditions by arranging for a dog adop-tion since her arrest, which has resulted in a criminal record for her.

Sicotte cited Olson as a “stable” individual who has been mar-ried for 32 years and had a long and distinguished record in com-munity service and as a pilot with Air Canada before taking an early retirement two years ago.

Wray, who indicated the Crown has no problem with Olson con-tinuing her work with legal dog rehabilitation and adoption activities, said it was accepted

that Olson “genuinely believed that what she was doing was for the benefit of the animals.”

But, Wray said, “despite the nobility of her beliefs, these are not matters that can be condoned by the court.”

Submissions indicated both sides were far apart in their opin-ion of the condition of the ani-mals in the cases in which Olson has admitted guilt.

Sicotte and Olson said that in each case neighbours had com-plained of severe mistreatment of the animals, while Wray said the Crown did not accept this version as fact.

Sicotte suggested that, rather than calling witnesses on both sides, it might be enough for Gillespie to accept Olson acted because she was convinced the animals were in distress.

A gun stolen in Surrey nearly a decade ago has been identified as the weapon used in a domestic tragedy that left nine people dead in Edmonton last week.

On Dec. 29 at 6:52 p.m., Edmonton Police responded to a weapons complaint. When they arrived, they found a woman dead.

Hours later, they received a call about a suicidal man and responded to another address – only to find six people had been shot dead earlier in the day. They included three women, two men, two boys, and a girl.

In total, six adults – all between the ages of 25 and 50 – and two children under age

10 were found in two separate residences that evening.

Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht called the scene horrific and chaotic.

“In my 39 years of policing, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Knecht said.

The suspected gunman has been identified as Phu Lam, 53, who was found dead the next day of self-inflicted gunshot wounds at a restaurant about 40 kilometres northeast of the city.

A man of the same name appeared on unpublished charges in Squamish and Surrey in 1999.

“This male suspect is well-known to the Edmonton Police Service and has a criminal record dating

back to 1987,” Knecht said.

The suspect was the subject of previous complaints at the second home in 2012, when he was charged with offences related to domestic violence, sexual assault and uttering threats, Knecht said.

The coroner’s service determined that all victims died of gunshot wounds. The victims include Thuy Tien Truong, 35, Elvis Lam, 8, Than Ha Thi Truong, 33, Valentina Nguyen, 3, Thi Dau Le, 55, Van Dang Truong, 55, Viet Nguyen, 41, and Cyndi Duong, 37.

Thuy Tien Truong was Phu Lam’s spouse. The other victims included Truong’s son, parents, sister, niece and friend.

Friends of Duong, who was killed at the separate residence, have reportedly said they are trying to determine her connection to the killer.

Knecht characterized the killings as an extreme case of domestic violence. The 9mm handgun used, he said, was registered in B.C. in 1997 and reported stolen from Surrey in 2006.

Fatal shootingA Surrey man is dead after being

shot in the driveway of a North Delta home last week.

On Friday at 8:20 p.m., Arundeep Cheema, 24, was shot while sitting in the driveway of a home in the 11800-block of 75A Avenue.

As of Peace Arch News press time Monday, details were limited, however police say the shooting appears to be targeted and members of the public need not fear for their safety.

Anyone who believes they may have information, or was in the area at the time of the shooting, is asked to call police at 604-946-4411.

South Coast B.C. Transit Authority was called to Surrey Central SkyTrain Station where a man was reportedly banging his head against a wall and screaming. They followed

the man to a nearby Safeway at 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard.

At one point, according to police, the man advanced and shots were fired.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is probing the case.

Justin Trudeau may have found a campaign direction that could help him seal the deal with enough voters to win power in next

October’s federal election.He has taken direct aim at the prime minister’s

penchant for secrecy, the apparent muzzling of cabinet ministers, MPs and bureaucrats, and what Trudeau terms “message control.”

While partisan voices have railed against it for years, even people who otherwise have few issues with the Conservative government are not happy with the current flow of information – which seems to have a uniformly manufactured, stage-managed and manicured quality.

Other than taxpayer-paid image ads which sing the praises of “the Harper government,” actual information from MPs and civil servants is often sparse. And while some Conservative MPs have a reputation for being open and accessible to citizens and local media, many more do not.

Our own local representative, Russ Hiebert, has had little to say to local voters since announcing he would not seek re-election this year. His public comments have been largely confined other than defending his own controversial private members’ bill calling for full disclosure of unions’ financial dealings, celebrating emergency aid to refugees in Iraq, and championing the party line on income-splitting for tax purposes.

For many cabinet ministers in the Harper government a press conference on any topic is a rarity – the exception rather than the rule.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself is almost permanently unavailable to the media. He makes a few appearances, such as a recent year-end interview on CBC, but he never answers questions in an impromptu fashion.

When he appeared at a fundraiser in neighbouring Langley in the summer, he did not say one word to any media person, national, regional or local. Even supporters who wished to talk to him had to stand in a lengthy lineup.

Prime ministers don’t have to be your friends. But they do have to be accountable, and that includes saying something that isn’t scripted, at least once in a while.

Like Bard the Bowman in The Hobbit, Trudeau has taken aim at this weak spot in the dragon’s scales, and it may ultimately score enough votes for him to at least win a minority government.

Harper’s silence a golden opportunity

VICTORIA – The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as oil these days, but the tide is

turning.Last week I mentioned a new

book called The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power.

In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system.

Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S.

The U.S. payment was for half the

power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood

protection from 1968 all the way to 2024.

Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion.

That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now, in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by

the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable.

B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business.

As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth

noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. military-industrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years.

B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane.

Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatcheries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fisheries above it.

Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C.

Bennett surprised some in Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty.

The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever.

Skepticismreality checks Editor:Re: Climate talks end 2014 in disar-ray, Dec. 23 column.

Columnist Tom Fletcher claims to be an agnostic regarding human-caused global warming, still searching for real signs.

He remains skeptical, regardless of the general consensus among the world’s scientists.

It is good to be skeptical. But when the “nay side” puts forward some distorted truth or outright invalid argument, Tom soaks it up and presents it to his readers as truth.

The latest example is his assertion that the current trend of shrinking glaciers started in 1850. The current, unprecedented, rapid decline of glaciers started about 1970.

Information on these topics is easy to find. I present the following sources for Tom and for your readers:

Glaciers: • www.skepticalscience.com/himalayan-glaciers-growing.htm • www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_of_glaciers_since_1850

CO2 Levels: • Google ‘atmospheric carbon dioxide levels’

Science of Climate Change:• www.aip.org/history/climate/20ctrend.htm

Seawater Acidity: • www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/What+is+Ocean+Acidification%3F

Kudos to Fletcher for writing about this topic.

For such an important issue, it gets very little coverage.

The longer we put off taking real action, the more serious will be the consequences!Bill McConnell, Surrey

Tax restraint needed nowEditor:Re: Surrey mulls 10% increase to tax bills, Dec. 11.

The shocking and surprising news for Surrey residents is 10 per cent increased on house tax.

It is a huge economic blow. People want some relief.

What about five per cent instead of 10 per cent?

Surrey is becoming more expensive. Many people find it difficult to survive and render taxes, which are revised now and then. People’s sources of income do not increase along with the taxes imposed from various sectors.

Save the city from extra taxes and make Surrey life easy, enjoyable and affordable.

Enormous amounts of funds are needed for required improvements and upgrading of city infrastruc-ture, but public money should be utilized in an appropriate way so that there is no need to introduce new taxes and place an extra bur-den on the public.

We have to take some restricted measures so that government can be prevented from unnecessary expenses and only spend behind beneficial public projects.Hanif A. Patel, Surrey

‘Maximum’the key wordEditor:

I can’t get over the stupidity of some drivers.

Last month, during one of the worst windstorms in recent history, cars were flying by on Crescent Road at double to triple the posted limit despite the strong wind and heavy rain.

Do those stupid drivers really think they could swerve or stop in time when – not if – a heavy branch or a whole tree fell on the road ahead of them?

According to the news, trees were falling like bowling pins all over Metro Vancouver.

And how much more damage – to the vehicle and to the people inside – would be done at such a high speed, as compared to the speed limit or less?

Remember, the speed limit is set for ideal traffic, road, and weather conditions.

If any of those conditions is less than ideal, you could get a ticket for driving at the limit.Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Pet ownerstake heedEditor:

In November, a beaver had made its home in the pond of a house on Sunset Lane, and now there is a very skinny and hungry-looking coyote spotted on Sunset Lane a few days ago.

So be aware, and be careful of your small pets.Kevin Blake, White Rock

Transparencyjudgment dayEditor:

Local MP Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale)couldn’t have been clearer when, in 2005, he said: “Transparency in government helps ensure that improper practices such as the money laundering of the sponsorship scandal are exposed. Even better, transparency in government discourages criminal or unethical activity from happening in the first place.”

Soon, he will have a chance to show how he is putting that sentiment into practice as your representative when he votes on the Transparency Act.

This bill was introduced by Liberal

Leader Justin Trudeau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making government information open by default. It is a good-faith effort to work across the aisle and achieve results for Canadians.

The Transparency Act would modernize our Access to Information system, which is stuck in the 1980s. It would make all government data public by default and available in modern formats. It would empower an independent office to order that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for information requests.

The act would also make the meetings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spending.

These changes would go a long way to addressing criticisms by the press, researchers, independent experts and others, and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their government does.

Mr. Trudeau has been clear that he wants to work with all MPs, and is open to amendments, suggestions and improvements. He believes that together we can help restore a sense of trust in our democracy.

Private member’s bills like this are normally “free votes,” which allow MPs to vote with their conscience instead of their party. We sincerely hope that Mr. Hiebert will vote in favour of the Transparency Act.MP Scott Simms, Liberal Party of Canada Democratic Reform Critic

Three former Surrey school trustees were honoured last month at the first official meeting of the Surrey Board of Education since the November election.

The current board took the oppor-tunity to recognize longtime trust-ees Reni Masi and Pam Glass, who retired this year, as well as Charlene Dobie, who was not re-elected.

Trustee Shawn Wilson said Glass, who served five terms (15 years) and is a former Olympian, was a great supporter of school athletics and “had a way of making people she met feel at ease and important to her.”

Masi, Wilson said, brought a “unique and valued” perspective as a former teacher and principal – expe-rience that “often served to help our board better understand the potential implications of decisions.”

Wilson called Dobie, who served one term, a tireless advocate for stu-

dents.“She has long been active in com-

munity social causes and I’m sure she’ll continue her work in support of students and learning in a variety of ways beyond her professional role,” Wilson said.

Masi, who served nine years on the board, was the only one of the former three trustees to attend the Dec. 18 meeting, addressing and compliment-ing many of his former colleagues and Surrey First Education coalition members directly.

He said the diverse group proved that political parties come second when there’s a common goal.

“We set the stage for good coalitions in Surrey,” Masi said.

He told the newly elected trustees they had a “great experience” and “fascinating job” ahead of them.

“It’s a good feeling when you’re doing good things for kids,” said Masi.

The new board was sworn in the previous week.

What is Yoga Therapy?

DO YOU HAVE pain? Headaches? High blood pressure? Fibromyalgia? Mental or emotional suffering?

Yoga Therapy may be the answer.

Extensive research confi rms that Yoga Therapy is effective in the treatment of over 50 serious health conditions including high blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, anxiety, osteoporosis, eating disorders, low back pain and many others.

Yoga Therapy benefi ts include decreased pain, increased fl exibility, mobility and strength. The mind calms, bringing

deeper sleep and increased ability to deal with daily stresses.

As more people take charge of their own health and our medical system is less able to successfully address many medical conditions, the popularity of this ancient healing therapy will continue to rise.

Leila Stuart applies 25 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist and movement educator to her work with people suffering from a variety of physical and psychological conditions. She uses many research based tools including breath, alignment and movement awareness techniques, experiential anatomy and movement repatterning. The classes are extremely gentle and are appropriate for students with pain or disability that might not be adequately addressed in a regular yoga class. Poses are modifi ed for the individual student.

Sometimes yoga is the fi rst glimmer of hope that you can be empowered to participate in your own healing process. At the very least, it allows you to accept and breathe through your health reality.

Yoga Therapy encourages the practice of loving kindness toward yourself so you can begin to make more choices that increase joy and health—a worthwhile New Year’s resolution!

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Boaz JosephBlack Press

July 17, 2014 was a bad day for Andre Usach.

The 33-year-old soldier was hit by a shell while in a bunker at the airport in

the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk.Badly wounded and knocked out, he could

not be safely evacuated and had to remain there for two weeks, unconscious, without any medical treatment more complex than tourniquets provided by his comrades.

Dr. Oleh Antonyshyn, who would meet the soldier months later, fills in the details:

“When they did finally get him to a medical facility, his wounds were infected, resulting in the amputation of his leg. He (had) a very significant injury to his arm – he (couldn’t) use his arm – and in addition

to that, he had a multi-fragment fracture of his jaw, with an open wound to his jaw, and all of that was infected as well.

“When the primary physicians got ahold of him, they completed the amputation and treated his wounds, but he was still battered, with a major defect of the jaw – it was split in two, from left to right. He was unable to eat and was unable to speak normally.”

The wounds, and their long-lasting effects, were the results of the unrest that began in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev in the late fall of 2013.

The anti-government protests would lead to the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych on Feb. 14, 2014, but not before heavy fighting in Maidan Nezalezhnosti – the city’s central square – that left more than 100 killed and many more wounded, to be

followed by many thousands more dead and injured in the eastern part of the country as Russia became more involved in the conflict throughout the year.

The plight of the wounded would attract the attention of Canadian medical professionals, some of whom volunteered to bring their reconstructive surgery skills to Ukrainians.

The first-ever Canada Ukraine Foundation and Operation Rainbow Medical Mission arrived on Nov. 6, 2014: one neurosurgeon, four plastic surgeons (one a hand specialist, the others face and general), two plastic surgery residents, one general surgeon, three anesthesiologists, 10 nurses and a support team of six.

While the majority were from Ontario (and one nurse from Edmonton), seven of

the volunteers were from B.C., including team leader Dr. Kimit Rai and Surrey videographer Gary Hanney, a retired Global TV cameraman who documented 37 surgeries performed over nearly 10 days.

Billeted at the Kiev Hilton, the team – which came with its own medical equipment – performed surgeries in the Main Clinic Military Hospital, built in 1775 (which locals like to say is older than the United States).

Rai said that most of the bullet wounds and explosives injuries were a few months old, and included broken jaws, noses and cheekbones, and scarred and distorted upper extremities.

In Andre Usach’s case, Dr. Antonyshyn used a titanium mesh and a bone graft from the patient’s thigh to put his jaw back together.

Usach wouldn’t be the first to thank a visiting doctor.

Ontario plastic surgeon Dr. Tara Stewart would get a big hug after doing surgery on 35-year-old patient Roman Bertash.

Via email, Stewart explains how Bertash witnessed his friend being shot by a sniper during battle, only to be shot by the same sniper while he was attempting to get his friend to safety.

The bullet ripped through the left side of Bertash’s face, destroying his orbital bone and blowing his left eye out of his socket.

His friend did not survive. “One time he looked me in the eyes he said

– and this left me humbled by his strength – ‘Don’t worry though, I got the sniper!’ After being shot, he circled around and with only one eye, and eliminated the sniper.”

There would be 35 other surgeries during this medical mission, all with unique stories.

One young man lost an eye after opening up an explosives-laden package inside a medical station in the Maidan (“Square”) during the protests.

One had such bad scar tissue under his arm that he couldn’t raise it.

Another patient who got reconstructive surgery from the Canadian team wore a bullet previously removed from his head as an amulet around his neck.

Antonyshyn said that while Ukrainian doctors are perfectly capable of performing reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, the surgical tools and materials are expensive and difficult to obtain.

The idea of a mission by the volunteers with the Canada Ukraine Foundation seemed daunting at first, so Antonyshyn sought the advice of someone more

experienced.“I didn’t know how to go about

(organizing) that,” he admits.Operation Rainbow Canada did – it has

provided reconstructive/cosmetic surgery to more than 2,000 children in 20 years during missions to India, China, Mexico, Lebanon, Cambodia and other countries.

Antonyshyn says he knew of Rai’s reputation – his experience, infrastructure and knowledge in taking teams to other countries in often harsh conditions.

This time, their patients had battle wounds,

scars and burns, rather than cleft plates like the children they usually treat during Operation Rainbow missions.

Despite the complexities, and “a lot of bone grafts,” Rai says the outcomes were all good, with no complications or infections.

Hanney witnessed and recorded much

of the activity, and spent his afternoons in the hospital (each surgery was usually four to five hours long), and the following mornings edited the videos to send to CBC TV stations in Toronto and B.C., as well as Global BC.

Hanney said he was too busy working to be truly affected by what he saw in the hospital – including the interaction between Dr. Stewart and Roman Bertash, and the big smile on the patient’s face.

“It didn’t hit me until I saw the CBC footage.”

It was Hanney’s fourth mission with Operation Rainbow as a videographer.

“The patients are very grateful,” says Rai. “It’s been very emotionally charged and it feels good to help them.”

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

A modest two-game winning streak to end 2014 – the team’s first back-to-back victories since early October

– quickly turned sour for the Surrey Eagles when the calendar turned to 2015.

After winning their first two post-Christmas contests – both against the Chilliwack Chiefs – the Eagles dropped their first three BC Hockey League games of the New Year, going winless on a Vancouver Island road trip last weekend.

On Friday, Surrey fell 7-3 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, and Saturday, lost 6-4 to the

Cowichan Valley Capitals – a game the South Surrey club led after 40 minutes. The Island-Division road trip ended Sunday, with the Birds dropping an 8-3 decision to the Powell River Kings.

In each of the three games, the Eagles started well – they either led, were tied, or trailed by just one after 20 minutes – but the

team fell behind in the later stages of each game.

Against the Bulldogs, Surrey trailed 2-1 after the first frame, with Darious Davidson scoring the lone goal for the visitors. The teams traded goals in the second period, with Joe Drapluk bulging the twine for the Eagles, but Alberni Valley pulled away in the third, scoring four goals to just one – from affiliate player Sam Young – for the Eagles.

Despite allowing six goals – Alberni’s seventh was an empty-netter – Surrey goaltender Christian Short was strong between the pipes for Surrey, stopping 39 of 45 shots he faced.

Backup netminder Daniel Davidson got the call Saturday in Cowichan, and he played well, helping stake the Eagles to a slim 3-2 lead after two periods of play. Much like Friday’s loss, however, things unravelled in the third, with the Caps scoring four times to steal two points from their visitors.

Drapluk and Darius Davidson each scored again for Surrey, while John Wesley and Cole Plotnikoff rounded out the scoring.

Daniel Davidson got the surprise start Sunday, too – Short was originally pencilled into the starter’s role, but was a late scratch.

Despite playing their third game in less than three days – Sunday’s contest was a

1:30 p.m. start – Surrey jumped out to a lead early, again led by Drapluk and Darius Davidson.

Drapluk’s power-play goal midway through the first opened the scoring, and Davidson added a shorthanded marker six minutes later to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead.

Powell River scored a power-play marker

of its own just 25 seconds later, but Drapluk struck again before the first intermission.

The lead didn’t last much longer, however, as the Kings scored twice in the first 1:21 of the second period, then tagged the Eagles with five more goals before the period ended.

With Short between the pipes in the third, Powell River scored one last goal – a power-

play tally – to win 8-3.The Eagles still sit at the bottom of the

BCHL’s Mainland Division with a record of 7-29-0-3. The team is back on home ice this weekend.

On Friday, they host the Merritt Centennials, and Sunday, they’ll square off against the Vernon Vipers in a 4 p.m. game.
