According to a spokesperson at the Ministry of Public Safety and Solici- tor General, the Gaming Enforcement Branch will be in a better position to determine that once Great Canadian’s application is received and perfor- mance indicators from the January to April component of the 2011 season wrapping up tonight are assessed. Average race handles, the number of B.C.-owned horse starts, and the number of horses per race are among the factors that will determine if those conditional dates are approved.

Your Weekly Clover Valley Newspaper

No diceBy Jennifer LangAmid a growing clamour by horse-

men to extend the harness racing sea-son at Fraser Downs in 2012, owner Great Canadian Gaming Corp. is standing fi rm.

A split, six-month season is the best way to preserve horse racing at both of the company’s B.C. racetracks, Fraser Downs and Hastings Park, where the 2011 thoroughbred season gets un-derway Saturday.

“When you have standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the last thing you want to do is to have them com-pete for the entertainment dollar,” Howard Blank, Great Canadian’s vice president of marketing said, respond-ing to the decision by B.C.’s standard-bred industry to press for a longer season, warning thousands of jobs across the Fraser Valley are at stake.

“We said that [a 10-month season] was something we didn’t feel was vi-able and the horse racing committee agreed,” he said. “Th e six month sea-son is the way to go.”

Blank said Great Canadian and the committee studying ways to keep

B.C.’s horse racing sectors viable agree the two racetracks must avoid com-peting for customers.

Great Canadian is hoping to fi nalize the fall 2011 and 2012 racing seasons by the end of May, earlier than last year, when race days at Fraser Downs were cut by 30 per cent and the 2011 season was temporarily suspended.

It’s too soon to tell whether the Pub-lic Gaming and Enforcement Branch will approve a longer season in 2012 – or if eight conditional race dates will be added to the fall 2011 sched-ule, bringing the total number of race days this year to 82.

According to a spokesperson at the Ministry of Public Safety and Solici-tor General, the Gaming Enforcement Branch will be in a better position to determine that once Great Canadian’s application is received and perfor-mance indicators from the January to April component of the 2011 season wrapping up tonight are assessed.

Average race handles, the number of B.C.-owned horse starts, and the number of horses per race are among the factors that will determine if those conditional dates are approved.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSandra Roberts took the petition to 176 Street Monday.

circulating a petition is one way for her to try to save jobs and a way of life.

Not all of the owners and drivers live in Cloverdale, Roberts said. Some live in Washington state, or other parts of B.C. and even Alberta. Th ey help the local economy because they stay in hotels and eat at restaurants when they’re in town, she said.

In addition to providing jobs at the racetrack, she said the barns con-tribute to the local economy because goods and services are purchased in the Cloverdale area, including animal feed, veterinarian care and farrier ser-vices.

Adding to the pressure of the short-er season implemented for 2011 is the fact that at the end of April – two weeks aft er the fi nal race day – Great Canadian Gaming is closing four of the six barns at Fraser Downs over the summer.

Roberts said the move will forcehundreds of horses out by month’send. She’s worried the situation pitsowners and trainers against each otherbecause the remaining stalls are of-fered at a fi rst-come, fi rst-serve basis.

Th e horses drawn for tonight’s racecard – the fi nal race of the spring sea-son – are at a particular disadvantagein fi nding stables, she said.

She estimates the barns are hometo approximately 450 horses as theseason draws to a close, but there’sperhaps room for 180 horses to stableover the long summer break until rac-ing resumes in October.

Copies of the petition are at the fol-lowing locations for those wanting tosign: Newmac Animal Feeds at 1796756 Ave., Dee’s Brazilian Shoes at 5757176 Street, Tricia’s Gems at 5679 176Street, and at Destination Cloverdale– home to both the Cloverdale Dis-trict Chamber of Commerce and theCloverdale Business ImprovementAssociation – at 5748 176 Street.

Barns to get shutteredFrom page one

Dazzling drill team needs blingBy Jennifer LangTh e equestrian drill team that makes snazzy

grand entrances at the Cloverdale Rodeo hosts a dinner and dance Saturday night.

Bit-A-Bling is raising money for uniforms, transportation, arena fees for practice and, of course, bling for the horses.

“Believe it or not, all that glitter we use is expensive,” laughs Hanne Olsen, the team’s uniform coordinator, who takes a mobile phone call while riding her horse.

Th e drill team formed in 2007 and cur-rently has about 20 members. Most live in Langley or Delta, but they’re a big presence in Cloverdale, where they’re a crowd fa-vourite in the Rodeo parade. Th ey open all rodeo events at the Stetson Bowl, galloping into the ring in formation, and carrying out choreographed moves that take months to perfect.

Bit-A-Bling also performs at other events in B.C., including the Ashcroft Rodeo and

the North Th ompson Fall Fair and Rodeo.Th e April 16 event at Windsor Stables in

Aldergrove will help cover transportation costs and hay supplies for the horses at per-formances. Th e evening includes dancing, a silent auction, and a performance by Susie Francis and the Canadian All Stars.

Tickets are $25. Doors open at 6 p.m., din-ner is at 7 p.m. Call Corrie at 604-856-6819 for more information. Windsor Stables is lo-cated at 25241 Fraser Highway. Choreographed moves take months to perfect.

No shortage of election candidatesBy Jennifer LangAn unbridled wave of

election fever appears to be sweeping over South Surrey–White Rock– Cloverdale, where three new candidates came forward in ad-vance of this week’s close of nominations.

Th at adds up to nine hopefuls vying for the seat held by Conserva-tive incumbent Russ Hiebert since 2004.

Two more indepen-dents – Kevin Peter Donohoe and David Hawkins, a former B.C. Reform Party candi-

date – and Progressive Canadian Party candi-date Brian Marlatt are now among the list of confi rmed candidates, according to Elections Canada.

Marlatt, a former Pro-gressive Conservative, also ran in 2008 and 2006 under the Progres-sive Canadian banner.

Hawkins, also listed as the current leader of the B.C. Reform party, ran in Surrey-White Rock in the 2009 pro-vincial election.

Previously confi rmed candidates include

Christian Heritage Party candidate Mike Schouten, Liberal can-didate Hardy Staub, New Democrat Susan Keeping, Green Party candidate Larry Colero and independent con-servative Aart Looye.

Canadians go to the polls May 2.

An all-candidates fo-rum for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale is planned for Wednes-day (April 20), in White Rock, hosted by the South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Com-merce.

Th e forum gets un-derway at 7 p.m. at Star of the Sea Hall at 15262 Pacifi c Avenue. Submit questions to [email protected], by fax at 604-536-4994, or by hand to 100 15261 Rus-sell Avenue.

Questions may be di-rected to individual or all candidates. Th ere will also be an opportunity to submit written questions from the fl oor.

Tuesday night (April 19), also in White Rock, the Council of Canadi-ans is also hosting an all candidates forum. It

will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Av-enue.

‘MIKE’ LIKERSMike Schouten, the

lone Cloverdale resident in the 2011 federal elec-tion race, says his cam-paign signs have been disappearing across the electoral district.

Th e CHP candidate doubts the theft s are po-litically motivated.

He suspects the signs – printed with an “I like Mike” logo – are a col-

lector’s item.“Th ey think, ‘Th at’s

great. I know somebody named Mike,’” he said, explaining the signs have been removed but not the posts holding them up.

Nine candidates had fi led in South Surrey - White Rock - Cloverdale by the close of nominations earlier this week

Rodeo association elects new executiveBy Jennifer LangTwo familiar faces remain at the helm of the asso-

ciation overseeing the Cloverdale Rodeo and Coun-try Fair.

Long-serving members Shannon Claypool and Penny Smythe have been re-elected to the top ex-ecutive positions of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Ex-hibition Association’s board of directors.

It’s Claypool’s third, one-year term as president. Smythe will serve as fi rst vice president for the

2011 term, and rodeo chair, a position she held last year.

Th e board has lost one of its most popular and longest-serving members and rodeo volunteers, Rocky Rockwell, who stepped down in 2010 aft er putting in more than 30 years of service. At the as-sociation’s Annual General Meeting April 5, Rock-well’s enormous contribution was recognized.

Long-time volunteer Randy Miller and Surrey retiree Gary Hollick were also elected to the 2011 board of directors at the exhibition association’s an-nual general meeting April 5.

Th e newly-elected board has selected the rest of its executive committee: Rob Marshall will serve as second vice president; Ken Kachur has been re-elected treasurer; Gerry Spielmacher is Country Fair committee chair; and Miller is the 2011 volun-teer chair, a position he also held last year.

Th e rest of the board members are current ap-pointees Peggy White (Surrey Board of Trade), George Siudut and Lisa White from the City of Sur-rey, Marvin Hunt from Surrey City Council, and Bill Reid is the provincial representative.

Th e association oversees 10 staff members and approximately 300 volunteers throughout the year and during the annual rodeo.

YOUTHFUL SPIRITLoggers sports, hot air balloon rides,

monster trucks, and a roller derby are just some of the ways the Cloverdale Ro-deo and Country Fair is reaching out to a younger demographic in 2011.

With just a few weeks to go until the 65th annual rodeo and 122nd country fair May 20-23, preparations are hitting full stride.

“We’re going to reach out more to our youth this year,” general manager Dave Melenchuk told members of the Clover-

dale Rodeo and Exhibition Association at the annual general meeting April 5, where he briefl y outlined plans for the 2011 event.

Th e West Coast Logging Show is back. As are monster truck rides for the kids. ReMax will be off ering rides in its hot air balloon at least two hours a day during the fair.

Th ere will also be a women’s roller derby throughout the May long weekend – back aft er a 30-year absence. “It’s so far out it’s in,” Melenchuk said.

Th e Stetson Bowl, home to fi ve invita-tional rodeo performances over four days – bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding and ladies barrel racing – will host an outdoor

family movie on the Sunday evening.

Other plans include a dis-play commemorating the Surrey RCMP’s 60th anni-versary, along with the usual family-friendly fare, such as

the art, agri and kid zones, live music per-formances and Rodeo Week events.

‘Incompetent, unresponsive’To the editor;Re: “Shorter racing season has

been devastating,” Cloverdale Re-porter online edition, April 13

As a breeder and owner for seven years in this industry, I’m con-templating shutting down my opera-tion.

I now have more horses in Ontario than in B.C. due to the deterioration of the industry.

Th is has all happened as a re-sult of the incompetent and un-responsive Horse Racing Man-agement Committee established

by the current gov-ernment.

Hopefully the new minister Shirley Bond will step in and take decisive action or this industry is doomed in B.C.

Ontario bound? A standardbred horse at the track at Fraser Downs.

To the editor;Th e “Great Debate” took place on April 12

and the French language version on April 13, since hockey trumps politics in Quebec.

Th e federal election takes place May 2.Th e political positions of the federal Liber-

als and NDP are so similar, it is a wonder why

they do not run a Liberal or an NDP candi-date alone, so they don’t split their vote, and just admit to creating a coalition, in future.

Meanwhile in B.C., where the NDP leader-ship hopefuls are being drowned out by the federal election, we have former NDP pre-mier and former mayor of Vancouver Mike

Harcourt saying, “Go Left and you lose.”Th at is, you lose with Adrian Dix and win

with Mike Farthworth.Let the brawl continue.

Secret society to lay its secrets bare

By Jennifer LangSecret handshakes. Arcane symbols.

Dark rituals inspiring wild conspiracy theories in fi lm, fi ction and popular culture.

And, according to Guy Olsson, Freemasons are all around us, even right here in Cloverdale.

He should know. Olsson is the Worshipful Master of the Cloverdale Mason Lodge, hosting an open house next Tuesday, off ering the uninitiated a glimpse inside one of the world’s oldest secret societies.

It’s the second time the lodge has held the event. Last year the evening drew 115 people – more than half were women, even though women can’t join.

“Th ey came with prospective mem-

bers and some members brought their wives and girlfriends,” he said. “It was a mix.” Th e evening was such a suc-cess, the lodge decided to make it an annual aff air.

It’s a chance for the curious to see a real Mason lodge room, he said, and fi nd out what the group is all about, says Olsson, whose ringtone is the Imperial March from Star Wars.

(It’s OK. Masons are in on the joke. Th e Cloverdale lodge’s slo-pitch soft -ball team is called the Stonecutters, aft er the irreverent Simpsons send-up.)

Olsson says curiosity about the fra-ternal order is booming, thanks to Dan Brown’s Th e Da Vinci Code, its sequel, and the Hollywood fi lm fran-

chise Book of Secrets starring Nic Cage.“We are busier in our district processing new

members than we have been in 50 years,” he says.A large segment of the new joiners are under 30. In the 20th Century, membership fl ourished, es-

pecially in the ‘30s to 50s, but dropped off by the 1980s – the “Me Decade.” His own generation – Generation X and the Boomers – are a lost genera-tion who didn’t join anything, he says.

Th e Cloverdale Masonic Lodge is 54 years old, and currently has 65 members.

It’s a diverse group made up of men from all walks of life, from some of Clo-verdale’s longest-serving merchants to plumbers, musicians and welders.

Most people, he says, have no idea what the Ma-sons do.

“It’s a set of moral and ethical principles you set your life by,” he says. “Freemasonry seeks to take a good man and make him a better man.”

What Olsson likes the most about being a Mason is the opportunity for “cerebral cross-polination”, adding he’s learned so much from the other mem-bers through osmosis.

For instance, one of his best friends in the lodge is a man in his 70s.

“Ultimately, it’s a fraternity, but it’s a fraternity with a common goal,” he says.

Th e Pacifi c district is one of the most active ones in B.C. and Yukon, with six lodges in this district, which takes in White Rock, South Surrey and Langley.

Langley’s Eureka Lodge hall is home to two other lodges, including Cloverdale’s, which hasn’t had a hall to call its own since the 1960s.

Strictly speaking, Masons aren’t a service organi-zation like Kinsmen or Rotary. Th e focus is on self-

improvement, and, by extension, the greater com-munity, says Olsson, who joined 12 years ago.

“It’s not for everybody. You have to be of a certainmind set. You have to want to make a diff erence,not only in your own life, but in the community atlarge.”

Freemasons date back to the Middle Ages whenEurope’s cathedrals were being built, but some be-lieve their origins go back even further, to King Solo-mon’s temple in Jerusalem, Olsson says.

Unlike other organizations that were once bastionsof male preserve but have since opened their doors,women still can’t join the Masons.

“It’s not about exclusion. It is a fraternity of men,”he says, pointing outwomen can join the fe-male auxiliary Masonicorganizations, the Order of the Eastern Star and Job’s Daughters.

For young men, there’sthe Order of Demolay.

In North America, Masons donate $3 million tocharity every single day.

Th eir major charity is the B.C. Cancer Car project,where volunteers help drive patients in the LowerMainland, Vancouver Island and B.C. Interior tohospitals for treatment.

Locally, the Cloverdale Masons are responsible forthe Christmas tree that lights up the historic DaleBuilding on 176 Street during Santa’s Parade of Lightsand they off er educational bursaries.

Olsson will let you in on one little secret – no onewill ever invite you to join the Freemasons. “You haveto ask.”

A simple way to get the ball rolling is to check outthe website at cloverdalemasons.com and fi ll out an application.

“Freemasonry Explained” is April 19 at the EurekaMasonic Hall at 20701 Fraser Highway, Langley.

Doors open at 7 p.m., and the program runs from7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Along with an introduction and other revealingtopics, the lodge’s grand historian will off er an over-view on Freemasony in culture – how its depictedin movies, books and TV, from the Flintsones to theHoneymooners and the Simpsons to name but a few.

Q: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had several gaps in my mouth. My remaining teeth have recently started to breakdown and cause increased jaw pain. The partial denture I wear is uncomfortable, loose fi tting and looks terrible. I have been told I may be able to replace my missing teeth with dental implants but I have a real fear/phobia of dentists. I am embarrassed to say due to bad childhood dental experiences, I haven’t seen a dentist in years. When I have it was only because of extreme pain and I needed emergency dental care. Now I’m concerned if I put off treatment much longer, I will loose all my teeth. I don’t want dentures – I’m only 46!

A: Lets start by addressing your most important issue, – fear or anxiety of dental treatment. When it comes to ‘dental phobias’ you are not alone – amongst certain age groups more than 60% of patients have some fear of the dentist. The single biggest cause is a bad early childhood experience. For many patients (like your-self) these memories last a lifetime leading to dental avoidance. Dental phobias can range from fear of the needle, the drill, dental pain, choking or not being able to breath under the rubber dam. Severe dental phobic’s can experience a sense of claustrophobia. Fortunately, most dental procedures undertaken today are virtually pain free. These include many hard and soft tissue laser techniques that can be used to treat tooth decay and gum disease without the need for the dental drill or syringe (needle). In addition, as many as 10-15% of dental clinics now offer, painless conscious sedation techniques to help relax and calm the dental phobic, managing their specifi c dental anxiety(s). In our offi ce, with a minor surgical procedure like placement of a dental implant, all patients are offered oral sedation, I.V. sedation or combination of both. When local anaesthesia is given, sedated patients feel little or nothing at all and rarely recall the injections. Sedated patients remain aware of surroundings and are responsive to verbal commands but are relaxed to the point where anxieties and apprehensions melt away. Sedated patients are unaware of the passage of time; a 3-hour appoint-ment can easily feel like an easy 30-minute appointment. Sedated patients are ex-tremely relaxed causing little or no associated muscle tension reducing perception of procedural pain. Effects of conscious sedation can last 12-24 hours post treatment, making pa-tients drowsy. For this reason, all patients who choose sedation must arrange (in ad-vance) for a friend or family member to pick up and drop off from our dental offi ce.Finally, you mention that your remaining teeth are starting to breakdown; this is a common problem that many dental phobics suffer from. Without regular check-ups and maintenance patients tend to loose more teeth, which means normal bit-ing forces are now being distributed over less teeth. This increased biomechanical load leads to increased tooth movement, wear, fracture, and pain in surrounding jaw joints (TMJ) and muscles. I encourage you to investigate the option of dental implants because their place-ment may help correct issues of TMJ arthralgia and biomechanical overload caused by a collapsed bite. Our offi ce would be delighted to show you the technology that deals with your concerns and determine if we can replace your partial denture with implants. Dr. Willoughby has been successfully placing and restoring dental implants since 1991 and holds 4 US Dental Implant Patents which in 2002, were licensed to the second largest dental implant manufacturer in the world.

With at least four family-friendly Easter egg hunts to choose from, not to mention promises of candy, craft s and diversions in every direction, it’s shaping up to be a busy Easter weekend.

Th e fun begins on Good Friday, April 22, with the 2011 Easter children’s festival at the Bear Creek Park Train, which is off ering spring-themed train rides, “bun-ny ears” headband craft s, and a visit from the magical furry ro-dent himself all weekend long.

Th e train is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 22 to April 25.

Closer to home, two local churches host Easter egg hunts and activities on Good Friday. Sonrise Church at 5588 188 Street hosts its annual Family Fest, starting at 10:30 a.m. with an egg hunt, followed by lunch for the whole family.

A.J. McLellan School at 16545 61 Avenue in Cloverdale is the location for the Easter Egg Hunt and Toonie Pancake Breakfast hosted by Coast Hills Community Church.

Free activities include Easter craft s and

games, face painting, egg decorating and a chance to visit with members of the Surrey Fire Department, who are bringing along a fi re truck. New this year is a bike decorating contest. Supplies provided.

Th at’s all from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 22.It’s an animal extravaganza over at the Sur-

rey Museum (17710 56A Ave.), hosting its sixth annual Easter Fair Satur-day, April 23 from 1 to 4 p.m.

It’s a biggie – between 400 and 600 participants visit each year. Th e idea is to let children meet the “real” Easter bunny by invit-ing local animal rescue organi-zations to the museum for the fair. It began as a way to educate the public on responsible animal care, according to Surrey Muse-um programmer Oana Capota,

who began coordinating the event in 2006. Th e event has since expanded to include not just rabbits, but dogs, cats, rodents and other animals.

Th ere will be family craft s, colouring and an egg hunt for the little ones. And there will be ample opportunity to learn more about

and local wildlife and caring for rescue ani-mals – rabbits, chihuahuas, airedales and an assortment of other rescue animals will be on hand, thanks to the participation of 12 rescue organizations.

“People should adopt instead of shop,” says Delta’s Jennifer Kaiser of Without Borders Boxer Rescue. “By rescuing, you save a life, and do your part in combating overpopula-tion.”

Entrance to the museum is free in 2011 – it’s sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society.

Call for more info at 604-592-6956 or visit the website at heritage.surrey.ca.

Th e Surrey Nature Centre hosts an Eas-ter Egg Hunt, also on April 23. Egg-themedcraft s, activities and entertainment. Callahead for egg hunt times: 604-502-6065.

Last but not least is Township 7 Vineyardsand Winery’s fi ft h annual Easter Egg Hunt,Sunday, April 24 from noon to 4 p.m. Regis-ter your child by April 21 by calling 604-532-1766. Wait! Th ere’s more: chardonnay semi-nars and live music, plus home baked goodiesand picnic basket fare, so you can spread outon the Langley winery’s new deck.

Wine tastings by the glass will be availableall day. See township7.com for more details.

Gold for Pacifi caires

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOBaby Ella Joy Dayton Barker, centre, is surrounded by Sur-rey’s Pacifi caires Color Guard Team in Dayton, Ohio. Mom Alanna is on the team, which just won its second world championship title.

By Jennifer LangFor the second year running, the Pacifi caires Color

Guard team from Surrey has won a world champi-onship title. Last week, the team claimed gold in the open class division at the Winter Guard International Championships in Dayton, Ohio.

It’s a repeat of the gold medal performance the team turned in last year in the Independent A divi-sion, a win that promoted them to the “open” class division in 2011.

More than 35 competitors in their class from across the United States and Canada participated. Th e team managed to capture fi rst place in the pre-liminary and semi-fi nals, wins that took them to the fi nals on April 9.

Th e 12-member team has a strong connection to Cloverdale. Instructor and founder Florence Dyck lives here, as do several members.

Th is is the fi rst time a Canadian team has won consecutive gold medals at the event.

Th e competition was especially poignant for team member Alanna Barker, who’s also an instructor. Barker, 24, competed in the sport all her life – she travelled to meets along with her parents, Florence and Alan Dyck who founded the Pacifi caires. Th is year, she brought her own baby along, continuing the family tradition.

Ella Joy Dayton Barker was there to watch her mom help turn in the gold medal performance.

In Surrey/White Rock, the grannies are just getting started.

Th e Stephen Lew-is Foundation (SLF) Grandmothers to Grandmothers cam-paign is a growing move-ment of grandmothers and grand-others across Canada whose mission is to raise funds to sup-port grandmothers and

children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saha-ran Africa.

Th ese African gran-nies are raising their grandchildren because they have buried their own children who have died from HIV/AIDS as well as other curable diseases due to lack of aff ordable medicines.

For more informa-tion, go to stephenlew-isfoundation.org and grandmotherscampaign.org/advocacy.html.

In 2008, Mary Harris called a meeting with a small group of grand-mothers interested in helping their African counterparts.

Th is original group became known as the Oneness Gogos. “One-ness” to remind us we are all one and “Gogo” is the Swahili name for grandmother.

Since 2008, the One-ness Gogos have raised over $82,000 for the Ste-phen Lewis Foundation

through craft s, fund-raisers and personal do-nations.

Th ese funds support grassroot projects run by grandmothers, or Gogos, in sub-Saharan Africa such as com-munal gardens, jewelry making, etc. that en-able them to provide for their grandchildren and to send them to school.

Make the SwitchThe downside of keeping your winter tires on year round is that they wear out very quickly," In most conditions, you can usually get three or four seasons out of them before you have to replace the winter set when you're swapping them out with an all-season or summer tire. If you drive them year-round, the heat will wear away the specifi c winter tire compounds. You'll also sacrifi ce some cornering and grip if you leave them on throughout the year."

AQ I have calcification of my shoulder. Will

shockwave therapy help?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a new technology which uses high energy pulsations of ultrasonic waves to break down calcific deposits and scar tissue, improve circulation and promote healing by stimulating the body’s natural self healing process. ESWT is considered when the diagnosis is made and known to be responsive to ESWT, when conservative/alternative treatment has failed and when surgery or more invasive treatments are the last result. It is important to note that spinal alignment, scapula(shoulder blade) stability, posture correction, shoulder joint mobility/strength and good core stability are important in the treatment of calcification of the shoulder. ESWT has proved to be an effective treatment for calcification of the shoulder, chronic rotator cuff tendonitis and painful impingement of the shoulder joint.

A physiotherapy assessment will help to identify the cause of injury and a comprehensive treatment program can help relieve the pain and restore function.

Q My car has gotten bouncy on the road over time. Is there anything I can do to restore the ride of my vehicle? As drivers we adapt to the progressive deterioration of the shock absorbers in our vehicles. Most of the time we don’t recognize that the road handling characteristics have deteriorated until pointed out by a service professional.Worn shock absorbers can cause increased wear on other mechanical parts such as springs, steering gear, universal joints, differential, tires, suspension bushings, wheel bearings and ball joints.Poor shock absorbers can also contribute to poor road handling, worn tires, poor braking, hydro-planing & component wear. Shock absorbers keep the tires of your vehicle in contact with the road by dampening out excessive movement and bouncing. The rule of thumb for replacement is 80,000 - 100,000 km.

How do I determine the initial offer when buying a home?

Unless you have a buyer’s agent (we strongly rec-ommend it), remember that the agent works for the seller. Make a point of asking him or her to keep your discussions and information confidential. Listento your real estate agent’s advice, but follow your own instincts on deciding a fair price. Calculat-ing your offer should involve several factors: what homes sell for in the area, the home’s condition, how long it’s been on the market, financing terms,and the seller’s situation. By the time you’re readyto make an offer, you should have a good idea ofwhat the home is worth and what you can afford.And, be prepared for give-and-take negotiation,which is very common when buying a home. Thebuyer and seller may often go back and forth untilthey can agree on a price.
