Deputy comptroller’s decision will not impact city’s plans to regain utility ownership: mayor

White Rock’s water upgrades OK’d Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A decision by B.C.’s deputy comptroller of water rights to green-light Epcor’s planned upgrades to White Rock’s water system will have no impact on the city’s plans to acquire ownership of its water utility. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the decision, handed down June 27, has no bearing on

plans to secure ownership of White Rock’s water supply “either through purchase or, if necessary, expropriation.” Baldwin said he is satisfied the $11-12 million in upgrades included in Epcor’s Total Water Quality Management (TWQM) project would be necessary even if the city already owned the utility – particularly new infrastructure and an improved water chlo-

rination delivery system called for following an August 2010 boil-water order due to contamination by coliform bacteria. “To have the chlorination ability – there’s no question about that,” Baldwin said Monday. “It’s mandated by Fraser Health. We have to do it.” A press release from community group

White Rock Accountable Water Committee said the decision by the deputy comptroller leaves “several critical questions” unanswered. “The decision fails to address questions we’ve raised about arsenic treatment, public ownership and rate increases associated with keeping White Rock’s water in the hands of › see page 4

White Rock All-Stars inch toward World Series

Bound for nationals Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Musical ride

For the third time in seven years, a team from White Rock is heading to the 2013 Canadian Little League Championships. Sunday night at Kerrisdale’s Elm Park, the White Rock-South Surrey All-Stars – a team of 11- and 12-year-old players – defeated Hastings (Vancouver) Little League 4-2 in the championship game of B.C. Little League Championships. The White Rock squad, coached by Jeff Crossley, now advances to the national championships in Glace Bay, N.S. White Rock played in nationals in 2007 and 2008, advancing both times to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn. Should the team be successful against Canada’s other top teams this year, they will again advance to the prestigious World Series. “It’s just starting to set in, really – it’s been a bit of a whirlwind since winning last night,” Crossley told Peace Arch News Monday morning. “We leave tomorrow (Tuesday), and just looking at the schedule, if we’re lucky enough to make it to the Little League World Series, we won’t be back until Aug. 26.

Dunahee hope sparked want them to take my DNA and figure this out,” he writes under the name Canuckels. “And with my mom passing away recently doesn’t shed any light on me but we will see soon enough, I’m undecided.” The man notes that he played hockey from age seven to 21 and went to several different schools when he was young. He said he doesn’t remember anything prior to Grade 1. A picture of an unnamed Surrey resident (right) who looks like an age-enhanced picture of Michael Dunahee (left) was posted on the VanCity Buzz blog on July 24. Victoria Police said they don’t believe it to be Dunahee, and that they’re just ruling it out. It is just one of several requests by the Victoria Police Department for individual’s DNA samples to rule them out. Anyone with possible information about the missing man’s whereabouts can share it at the Missing Kids website. –with files from CTV

Faint hope arose last week for a Victoria family with word police are looking into the possibility Michael Dunahee – missing for 22 years – may be living in Surrey. Dunahee vanished from a Blanshard Elementary School playground in Victoria in 1991, when the boy was just four years old. It sparked one of the biggest investigations of its kind in Canadian history, with sightings reported around the world generating 11,000 tips. Recently, someone reported to Victoria police that a man with a striking similarity to Dunahee was living in Surrey. Victoria police interviewed the man and are asking for a blood sample to rule him out as the missing boy. He posted the ordeal on the non-hockey section of a Canucks.com message board. “I don’t know what to think, part of me thinks it could be but others don’t, I just

Judge rules statements accused made to Langley officer were voluntary

Pass was a ‘bad three-second decision’ Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The dump-truck driver involved in the deadly collision that killed South Surrey’s Jim Neiss told a Langley RCMP officer that his decision to cross a double-yellow line was a “bad three-second mistake.” “He said something to the effect of ‘this feels like a bad dream,’” Const. Robert Johnston said of Glen Edwards Theriault, during testimony last week in Surrey Provincial Court.

Theriault is charged with dangerous driving causing death in connection with the Jan. 18, 2011 head-on collision that killed 59-year-old Neiss. Johnston told the court that following Theriault’s arrest at the scene – in the 19800block of 16 Avenue – Theriault told him he thought it had been clear to pass, and that he did not see Neiss’s pickup as it travelled in the eastbound lane on 16 Avenue. The collision compressed the front section

of Neiss’s Ford Explorer into less than half its width. Johnston further testified that Theriault appeared to be in shock, and had expressed concern that he would be fired. “He wanted to collect his personal items (from the dump truck),” Johnston said. “He was concerned he would not be able to retrieve them if he was fired.” While Theriault had declined to make an official statement at the police station, he

made a number of comments while he was in custody, Johnston said. The comments, along with others made in the hours following his arrest, were the subject of a voir dire that focused on whether or not Theriault’s charter rights had been violated. Crown counsel Winston Sayson said Monday that Judge Paul Dohm ruled the comments were voluntary. The trial is to continue on Sept. 17.

Overpass shaping up Work to create the new Highway 99/16 Avenue interchange continues, and officials say it is on schedule, with completion of Phase 1 – including construction of the six-lane overpass and widening of 16 Avenue – anticipated by the end of August. The previous overpass was demolished in April. Phase 2, including four on- and offramps as well as noise barriers, is expected complete by October 2014. Tracy Holmes photo

Drinking water, sewer projects drive regional costs up

Metro plans to jack utility fees 23 per cent Jeff Nagel Black Press

Sharply rising costs to upgrade Metro Vancouver’s sewer and water system will translate into steadily rising utility fees for the region’s residents. A new five-year forecast tabled by the regional district shows overall regional levies are expected to climb 23 per cent by 2018, costing the average household nearly $100 more than today. The average $725,000 home that paid $418 for regional utilities this year will see that rise to $430 next year – a 2.9 per cent increase – and a projected $516 by 2018. “It’s a little bit disturbing,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said of the nearly 25 per cent increase in utility fees over five years, adding that’s far more than the rate of increase of property taxes from

now to $150 and beyond in the coming years as it builds a new waste-to-energy plant – that’s not expected to bite as deeply at the household level. The solid waste levy is projected to translate into an increase from $60 per household now to $66 by 2018. That’s because organic waste collection and other recycling gains are expected to mean households generally will produce less garbage that incurs tipping fees in the years ahead. The levy for the main regional district budget – which mostly goes to run Metro regional parks and to pay for planning and administration costs – is projected to rise slightly from $40 per household to $45 by 2018. Some Metro Vancouver directors want the region to look at increas-

ing regional development cost charges, which haven’t changed in several years, as one way of generating more revenue. And Delta Mayor Lois Jackson questioned why Metro Vancouver still owns the Ashcroft ranch – which it once intended to turn into a new landfill until it was blocked by the province and opposing First Nations. “We should be getting taxpayers value out of that land,” Jackson said. “We’re not in the business of running ranches. Taxpayers’ dollars are sitting out there.” Metro officials said the ranch continues to run and is covering its operating costs. They said the region had been holding off on trying to sell the land due to low real estate prices but will review the decision this fall.

A group of White Rock residents have formed their own opposition group to the proposed new Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal. The group is to meet at 7 p.m. July 30 at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. The discussion will feature Dr. Frank James from Bellingham, Wash. who attended a similar meeting in Ocean Park last month. Organizer Hannah Newman said the White Rock group will address issues unique to the seaside city. “We were going to the other meetings but we needed to focus on White Rock. We have a different city council, we have our promenade and so we have a slightly different focus,” she said. The aim is to inform residents of possible negative impacts of the proposal and to have a “well-defined” statement from White Rock council stating it is not in favour of increased coal traffic coming through. Newman was to appear before White Rock council meeting last night – after Peace Arch News’ deadline – to ask the city to clarify their stance on the matter. “The federal representatives, they tell us not to worry about it and it has a lot of people agitated. But my general sense tells me that council is onside,” Newman said. - Sarah Massah

municipal governments and utility ownerships changed – still ensures White Rock’s legal right to acquire ownership of its water supply. “We believe it’s for the greater good of the public – we wouldn’t be doing it if it weren’t financially viable,” Baldwin said. “We’re not sure how long negotiation is going to take or if it will be necessary to go to expropriation. I think it would be a year or two before the whole thing is complete.” Epcor currently nets around $200,000 per year from the city – an amount he said would be “considerably greater” once the TWQM plan is in effect. “They would lose that, but there’s a reasonably good chance, if we acquire it, that we would contract back the operation to them.”

That’s our financial edge.” Baldwin said the city’s submission on the TWMQ plan made it clear that White Rock “should be part of the overall process” of ensuring water quality – although the city has no doubt about Epcor’s ability to maintain a high standard. The eventual removal of arsenic and manganese from the water continues to a concern, he said. Baldwin said the city’s investigation of connecting with the Metro Vancouver water system has shown it would be prohibitively expensive.

White Rock resident creates plan for East Beach

Input requested for design Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When Lance King did an informal survey of those who frequent White Rock’s waterfront, he heard the same comments about its promenade over and over: it’s too narrow, too straight and boring. So, King decided to try and do something about it. The artist/designer put pencil to paper, and, after about 20 hours’ work, came up with a plan for East Beach he hopes will catch on. “Everyone I’ve talked to has been positive about it,” the White Rock resident said. His proposed Ocean Point Recreational Plaza is 70,000 square feet in all. Resembling a wave, King’s vision stretches about 600 feet from end to end and extends about 220 feet towards the ocean. Suggested features include a life-size sculpture of a humpback whale breaching in a 40-footdiameter pool, a skateboard park and an interactive children’s playground. King, 65, stressed that while the design includes extensive use of natural rocks, nothing about it is set in stone. He showed it to city officials about four months ago, and, citing a good response, now wants to know what citizens of White Rock think of it. City manager Dan Bottrill described King’s proposal as “very appealing.” At the same time it is “a pretty significant project… a $6 million project,” Bottrill said. While the design is not in the city’s current financial plan, where it and other proposals might fit will likely be part of discussions as the city moves forward with its next financial plan. Including it in a community forum similar to that held last November may be another way to gauge public support, Bottrill said. “At the end of the day, too, it’s not just about this project. It’s about this project in comparison to all of the other projects that we have, and so how does this project fit in with the other priorities in the City of White Rock.” Extending into Semiahmoo Bay is a complicating factor, as it would involve obtaining approvals from various provincial and federal authorities. Regardless, no proposals are written off, Bottrill said. “You never know. Sometimes it may not be exactly the concept that we go with, but there may be some nuggets

White Rock’s Lance King shows off his design for East Beach. with respect to any plan that comes forward that says, hey, let’s think about this,” he said. “I think we always have to be open to fresh ideas.” King said in addition to adding some life to East Beach, the plaza would help curb erosion that’s occurring along the promenade, and increase tourism appeal. “This could put White Rock on the map… do nothing but good for White Rock and the

merchants here,” he said. Regarding the estimated cost, King said he would suggest pursuing three funding sources: federal and provincial grants; a commitment from the City of White Rock; and a legacy fund. Leaving a legacy is a big part of the plaza, he said. “I’m not doing it for money. I’m doing it because I want to leave something here that’s lasting.”

Another summer of success on the diamond

n light of having four teams qualify for national championships this summer, Greg Timm, the president of the White Rock Renegades Girls Fastpitch Club, said it is “a very strong year for us.” And while he made the remarks Monday morning, the script could have just as easily been lifted from last year, the year before or the year before that. The Renegades, as sports fans on the Semiahmoo Peninsula are no doubt aware, have been doing this for a long time. And though we’re smack in the middle of summer – one of the sunniest on record, too – and those who play, coach, manage or just watch local sports tend take a bit of a breather as the calendar flips into August, the pace of action has not waned a bit this year. In fact, it’s as busy as it’s ever been – and the Renegades are far from alone when it comes to making noise on the ball field. Across town, the Surrey Storm – another one of the country’s premier girls fastpitch organizations – are sending three teams to nationals, and one would be remiss not to mention the South Surrey-White Rock Thunder, who’ve had a presence at both provincial tournaments and the Canadian Open this summer; notable, too, is the fact that many current Renegades began playing ball with the Thunder organization before moving up the ranks. Not to be outdone on the ball diamond, White Rock’s team of 11- and 12-year-old baseball allstars have also been making noise this month, and on Sunday qualified for national Little League Championships in Nova Scotia – just one step away from the Little League World Series, at which White Rock teams have made two previous appearances. In 2007 and 2008, White Rock represented Canada at the prestigious international tournament, which is staged annually in Williamsport, Penn. The team leaves today for the next step in their journey, and while it remains to be seen if a third trip to Williamsport is in the offing, it’s possible that, if successful, the Boys of Summer might play right until the end of it; the World Series doesn’t wrap up until the last week of August. Dog days of summer? Not really. Not here, anyway.

kiln, which burns fuel to reach the temperature at which the components are partially burned and cement is produced. Cement manufacturers pay carbon tax on the fuel, whether it’s natural gas or shredded tires, but not on the process. B.C. cement makers are already pleading for relief, because the fuelintensive process puts them at a price disadvantage with U.S. and Chinese producers. Further unilateral tax action by B.C. would only further increase imports, and potentially push B.C. firms out of business. Goodbye unionized privatesector jobs. Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their ill-fated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and North Vancouver. Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC Ferries ships too. Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

Why can’t we just say no?

For the sake of humanity

Editor: I see many of those polled were unaware of Fraser Surrey Docks plan to ship coal from Wyoming via Texada Island to China. This is not surprising due to the project quietly getting off the ground without the publicity afforded the pipeline proposals. There can be no doubt if (heaven forbid) the coal dock becomes reality, folks living in this part of the Lower Mainland will become well aware that up to eight million tonnes of U.S. coal will come across the border annually. White Rock will have to contend with an extra eight trains a day (four full, four empty) with the resulting diesel fumes and other hazards. Undoubtedly, there will eventually be an exposed pile of coal at FSD. They have applied for an area of 2.47 acres to accommodate it (for emergency situations). Open barges will carry the coal down the Fraser River, through the Strait of Georgia on the way to Texada Island for trans-shipment to China. Here again, with a distinct lack of publicity for those who will be affected, Lafarge has applied to increase their Texada coal dock by twentyfold, from 400,000 to eight million tonnes. If our neighbours to the south have said, “No more coal docks,” why can’t we? David Gibbs, Surrey n As a young person I grew up in the Greater London area with coal fires being our main source of heat. I appeal to those of you who have not had the ‘pleasure’ of living in close proximity to coal, coal products and the requisite dust, to consider the detrimental health issues of allowing this travesty to continue. I am not dramatizing the effects upon the health of most of my contemporaries, and of the generations prior to us, when I tell you of the ongoing respiratory problems and diseases we are all dealing with now that we are in our twilight years. I am in my seventies and have had bronchitis and bouts of pneumonia in the last few years. My parents both died with lung infections, also my grandparents and various other family members – all attributed to the environment. Should you ask any of the residents of South Delta living near Roberts Bank, you will find that they live constantly with a fine film of black dust in and around their homes – as for breathing this in... only time will tell. Why do you think that the residents of Washington state and Oregon do not want a coal port in either of their areas? If it is not OK for them, why should it be for us? Are we to become, in the modern idiom, ‘collateral damage’? Jean L. Fisher, White Rock

Editor: Recently, I came across a quote: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Our poor Mother Earth with people unable to live side-byside – feeling hatred, envy, greed, discord – and the good things seem to vanish behind the shadow of apathy. This cannot happen as long as people do not take a stand and work to rectify the wrong. The other day I saw a slideshow of Iran and to my surprise and shock, I read on a billboard, “Down with the U.S.A.” – this in a country that has relied heavily on the U.S. to give them aid, even sacrificing the lives of its citizens, not to mention other forms of support.

Yes, there have always been wars of one kind or another but not to the extent of present-day situations and the many countries involved. The daily lives and struggles of these people are hard to imagine. Let us hope and pray and even try to do something, no matter how little, to save man and the earth from total destruction. Perish power and greed, then perhaps the world and its inhabitants stand a fair chance before it’s too late. M. Downey, White Rock

Allowing Surrey residents to have backyard chickens will make the city a better place, says Paddy Tennant.

Backyard birds bring benefits Editor: Backyard hens will make Surrey a better place. I have lived in Surrey most of my life, and the best of those years were spent on a small farm where we raised all our own food. My sisters and I were in 4H, as were many of our friends. We passed pastures of sheep, cattle and horses on our way to school. Our family felt very fortunate to live in an area that would allow us that lifestyle. That was the Surrey I loved. It has been heartbreaking to see those rolling hills of green destroyed in favour of townhouses and shopping malls. Surrey is not beautiful anymore. It has gone from being a rural gem to a crowded city. The tagline on Surrey’s logo used to say “City of Parks.” Now it is a city of parking lots, with no sign of reclaiming any of the green space that once made this a desirable place to live. But there’s a small light at the end of the tunnel. The city’s recent decision to allow backyard hens (pending the outcome of a pilot project) is good news – at least there is the hope that Surrey might be slightly ‘greener’ and that those of us inclined toward small-scale urban agriculture will be both happier and healthier. Although the details of the pilot project have yet to be

established, I trust that the decision-makers at city hall will be open-minded enough to recognize that keeping hens is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ prospect. The size of a person’s lot should not be a determining factor in granting permits; what’s more important is the ability to care for the birds. Similarly, the number of hens permitted on a residential lot should not be arbitrarily dictated. I also hope that the same decision-makers will take into account that some breeds of ducks are excellent egg-layers, and can be wonderful backyard pets. In addition to their flavourful and nutritious eggs, ducks are also useful for controlling garden pests like insects and slugs. There are numerous advantages to backyard birds with none of the nuisance factors commonly associated with cats or dogs, as long as they are being responsibly maintained. The good people at city hall can rest assured that they would never get a ‘barking chicken’ complaint or reports of an off-leash duck running loose! I’m looking forward to being a hen owner again, and enjoying a small taste of what Surrey used to be. Paddy Tennant, Surrey

White Rock councillors concerned with application process

Work done without consent Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An application to replace a retaining wall with a suspended staircase did not sit well with White Rock council members who were unimpressed the work went ahead before the request was dealt with. “I don’t entirely agree with the way it’s been presented,” Coun. Helen Fathers said in discussing the variance sought for 14884 Hardie Ave. at the June 24 council meeting. “I don’t think it’s the right way to do things.” But while council ultimately quashed the variance that night on a tie vote, a motion by Coun. Larry Robinson – who was absent from the June 24 meeting – to reconsider the application heard July 15 reversed the decision. “I would’ve voted in favour of this variance,” Robinson told council, in explaining his motion. According to a staff report, the proponents requested a development variance permit in order to reduce the west sideyard setback from 1.5 metres to 0.457 m to accommodate the change. The original plans called for a retaining wall that would raise the ground level to enable stairs

to sit on grade along the side of the house. During construction, the owners decided to cantilever the stairs off the side of the house instead – a move that reduces the impact on the adjacent property by allowing more light in, writes Paul Stanton, the city’s director of development services. Noting the retaining wall was not necessary to the structural integrity of the house itself, Stanton recommended council approve the variance. At a June 24 public hearing, one person spoke in favour of the variance, and one spoke against it. At the council meeting that same night, it was defeated, with Fathers and Couns. Al Campbell and Bill Lawrence opposed, and Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Couns. Grant Meyer and Louise Hutchinson in favour.

The application came to council because the board of variance – in place to adjudicate appeals for minor variances to zoning bylaws – was “not able to come to a consensus whether there was hardship in this case,” Stanton told council during a May land-use meeting. The plans were changed “on the fly,” he added, and the stair structure would have to be removed if the application is rejected. Campbell first voiced his own concerns at that same meeting, suggesting there was never any intention to build the retaining wall. “I don’t know how this got this far,” he said. “To go together with your neighbour and in a very cavalier fashion delete a retaining wall… I discourage something like that.” June 24, he reiterated his concerns. “Obviously, it was designed (with a retaining wall), and I’m wondering why it wasn’t built,” Campbell said. “It says you need a wall – you need a wall.” July 15, Fathers said approving the variance “sends the wrong message.” She and Campbell again voted against the move, but were defeated.

Police investigating the discovery of a body in a wooded area in Newton Friday (July 26) say early indications are that foul play was not a factor. Located in Hazelnut Park, in the 13900block of 70 Avenue, the deceased has yet to be identified. Surrey RCMP said officers are working with the BC Coroner’s Service to confirm the identity of the adult male. The cause of death is unconfirmed, although Cpl. Bert Paquet said reports that the body was burned are also being investigated. -Kevin Diakiw

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Former White Rock resident using art to help his recovery

Former Peninsula resident Richard Carlton uses a chainsaw to shape the log taken from a 370-yearold cedar tree he is carving into a protective totem for Tillicum Lelum, an Aboriginal Friendship Centre in Nanaimo.

at William Head, have been completed in prison – but he said he would have likely continued using drugs as well. This time, a judge ordered Carlton to spend 18 months at Guthrie House, where residents are forced to confront the addictions, decisions and behaviours in their lives that led them to where they are, taught to be accountable to themselves and others, and to experience and deal with their full range of emotions. “It’s a blessing in disguise,” Carlton said. ❝Once you get “It might be prison, but over addiction it’s saving lives.” you start to look Carlton continued at yourself.❞ carving at Guthrie House, starting with a Richard Carlton pair of masks. The carving lead to Carlton being made the facility activities co-ordinator who creates new activities and jobs for other residents. He took charge of the wood shop and, at the suggestion of one of the guards, asked for a log to be brought in to be carved. The log arrived. “It was a pretty rotten log – pretty punky inside – but I said, ‘Hey I’ll do something with it,’” Carlton said. “So I designed the pole around the rot in it, which is kind of like our lives, right? … I wanted to design it as a story of recovery and inspire guys. It’s a start for me, but it could be a start for a lot of other guys. “Once you get over addiction you start to look at yourself and start to need to do things. Something therapeutic. Something that will inspire you to carry on in your life.” The pole was raised on the correctional centre grounds July 4. Carlton has since been commissioned to design and carve a protection totem pole for Tillicum Lelum’s facility on Haliburton Street. The pole, being carved from a 370-year-old red cedar log, will depict a bear, wolf, eagle and watchman. “It’s really neat the doors it’s opening for me, as long as I stay on the same path,” Carlton said. “My life actually has a path now.”

ichard Carlton, 47, was released from Guthrie House Therapeutic Community in June, but left something of himself behind for the facilities’ residents and staff – a yellow cedar totem pole depicting 14 characters that represent the journey through addiction recovery. Guthrie House Therapeutic Community, which operates at Nanaimo Correctional Centre, is a self-contained, 65-bed facility that combines work, treatment, counselling and behavioural modelling to help keep inmates recovering from addiction out of the prison system. It is the only facility of its kind in Canada. “I’ve been in prison, off and on, for over 25 years,” Carlton, a former White Rock resident, said. “It’s hard to explain addiction. It’s kind of like when you were a kid at home and there are so many doors in the house. You look out those doors and you can go through them and each door is an opportunity, but in addiction you kind of close all those doors behind you and you’re trapped in one room and that’s all you know.” Carlton, who was born in Nova Scotia and grew up in Victoria, spent time in provincial and federal prison for offences that included breaking and entering, drug dealing and armed robbery to support his addiction to heroin and cocaine. When he wasn’t in prison, Carlton worked as a professional tattoo artist, an art form he practised for 30 years. “I got out of the pen about seven years ago and moved to White Rock,” Carlton said. “I thought I could do it there. I was making really good money. I was tattooing, but there’s drugs and if you don’t have that support around you... “I’m not putting down tattooing. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people through that profession, but for me, being that addictive personality? Not good for me.” Over the years, Carlton learned to carve, studied with master carvers and eventually became a master carver himself, but he was also going through the revolving door

of addiction which would land him back in prison where addiction treatment and methadone programs failed to provide the tools he needed to turn his life around. By the time he was arrested again he was using heavily, even though he was on methadone. “I came back in. I was on 120 mils of methadone,” Carlton said. “I cut it cold

turkey. I was 46 at the time. I thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I’m going to end up dying.’ It’s amazing I’m not dead now. A lot of my friends have died over the years.” Carlton said Crown prosecutors wanted 36 months, which would have sent him to a federal penitentiary. He would have carved in there – most of his carvings, including a pair of poles carved for a recovery centre

Green Team takes on Duprez Ravine what’s The Lower Mainland Green Team had a successful cleanup at Duprez Ravine July 20, with a few new faces working to remove invasive plants. LMGT founder and director Lyda Salatian noted that this was the first time the team had worked with the City of White Rock and the White Rock and Surrey Naturalists. The 25 volunteers came to the ravine from White Rock, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford, Richmond and Burnaby – with more than half coming to see the site for the first time. Salatian also noted that a family who had just moved to White Rock from China came

to participate in the cleanup. Wendy Guan, Alexander Luo and Robin Luo’s first course of action was to join a volunteer group conserving a local White Rock park, Salatian said. “It’s great that they wanted to connect with their community and make a difference to a local park so soon after just having arrived here,” she said. The crew removed 1,200 pounds of invasive plants, including English ivy, laurel, Himalayan blackberry, policeman’s helmet, periwinkle, lamium and holly. For more about LMGT, visit Contributed photo www.meetup.com/The-Lower- Alexander Luo, Wendy Guan and their son, Robin, participate in Mainland-Green-Team a cleanup at Duprez Ravine last weekend.

July 30 - Aug. 3, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, a challenge arises that requires you to have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Some self-confidence and hard work are all you need to successfully tackle this challenge.

A quick visit with family can make you feel refreshed and renewed, Libra. There is nothing like spending time with the ones you love to improve your mood.

SCORPIO

TAURUS

Scorpio, catch up on some overdue health screenings. There has never been a better time to get these things done, and you don't want to put your health on the back burner.

Taurus, you can choose from among many paths, but this week you will have to carefully think about which way to go. Otherwise you may end up having to backtrack and start over.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI

Sagittarius, there is only so much persuading you can do before you must let others choose their own paths. A difficult conversation has you second-guessing something.

Gemini, unless you change your line of thinking, you may have trouble in the romance department this week. You don't have to be a smooth operator, but just sweeten your sentiments.

CAPRICORN

CANCER

Do something for yourself this week, Capricorn. It's a good time to treat yourself before you must devote more of your time to others in the near future.

Cancer, sometimes you like being the center of attention, and other times you are content to blend into the background. This week you will have to embrace the spotlight.

AQUARIUS

LEO

Aquarius, something has been on your mind but you just can't put your finger on it. Forget about it for awhile, and you just may come to a realization.ask.

Leo, after letting things slide for awhile, you will need to get a better handle on your finances this week. If you feel as though things have gotten out of control, then talk to a professional.

PISCES Few things that escape your notice this week, Pisces. Always detailoriented, you need to figure out how to use the information.

VIRGO Issues at work may have you contemplating a career change, Virgo. But you may want to hold off on changes for a little while longer until things settle down.

‘You’re not getting any younger’

Our philosophy is very simple. Your whole body is relying on your feet. If your feet hurt, you’ve got a problem. If we can help you, then you’ve got a solution. ...We make pain go away, every day.

Full contact into the arch. Can your old orthotic do that?

It’s that simple.

Conventional orthotics do not support the arch, but use a wedge shape under the heel to affect foot position.

Interesting Foot Facts DID YOU KNOW... • The Average person takes 10,000 steps per day, covering several miles and totalling 115,000 miles in a lifetime • 80% of foot, leg and low back pain can be accounted for by abnormal walking patterns • 75% of the population will experience foot health problems in their lives • During a typical day, the feet endure a cumulative force of several hundred tons

trip-planning process. “Any place that people want to go, there are at least five other ladies who want to go, too,” she said. As is the case when travelling anywhere – but especially to countries that may be considered dangerous – Dickson said that safety is a numberone priority for her and her groups. “We only choose tours that have a guide, and we always go with reputable companies,” she said, adding that travellers are encouraged to always be aware of their surroundings and not stay in the ground floor of a hotel. “Safety is always a prime concern.” It’s also important that would-be travellers pick a destination that suits their personality and physical ability, she said. Certain European river cruises, for example, include a fair amount of walking, and may not be the best pick for someone who has limited mobility. “There’s something for everybody, but it’s very important that you choose a destination that fits the individual.” Above all, Dickson said, the women who are interested in taking part in these adventures are doing something that most of us try, but rarely achieve: living life to its fullest. “You just gotta get out and do it,” she said. “You’re not getting any younger or healthier.”

› from page 18 arranges dozens of trips each year, from popular North American destinations like New York and Hawaii, to incredible international locales, including India, China and Russia. The club consists of women from around the Lower Mainland and as far away as Alberta and Winnipeg, and many women who have taken part in trips become close friends. That’s just one of the many benefits of travelling with a club full of adventurous, like-minded women – some of whom are widowed, divorced or have husbands who don’t like to travel. Dickson pointed out that she always tries to book tours that have a low or reasonably priced single supplement – the extra amount required when booking as a single instead of a couple – which can sometimes be a deterrent to embarking on a solo excursion. “It’s surprising what’s out there,” Dickson said of the range of options and potential deals when it comes to solo travel. When asked about popular destinations, Dickson noted that India is among the highly sought-after trips – last year a group of 18 women took part – and that a two-week trip to South Africa is also expected to do well. She said the sky is the limit as far as destinations go, and that input from club members is an essential part in the

Become a Tree Watering Partner! You already know that young trees need water during hot and dry weather. Help a street tree near you stay healthy this summer by signing up for a free watering bag from the City of Surrey. These “water smart” bags slowly drip water into the soil over an eight hour period – the perfect pace to get the most water to the tree’s roots. Watering like this once or twice a week is better for the tree and saves you time.

Get involved! We’ll deliver a watering bag to you for free – all we ask is that you use it for your street tree once per week this summer. After summer ends, hang on to it for next year, or pass it on to someone else with a young tree. Call us today to order yours! 604.501.5050

RAYNER, Alfred James March 3, 1927 - July 25, 2013 He will be missed by those who he worked with in forestry and those who enjoyed with him, lawn bowling, camping, square dancing and participating in the Monarch Lion’s Club. Most of all, he will be missed and lovingly remembered by his family. A private family service to be held.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ruth E. Pinkney after a courageous battle with cancer. Predeceased by her son David and her daughter Penny, she is survived by her loving husband John Michael formerly of Blairmore, Alta; her children Patricia (Alan), Debbie (Larry), Carolyn and Don; her grandchildren Nicole (Emmett), David, Stacey (Wes), Kara (Andrew), Leigh, Ryder, Wyatt, Michael and Maya (Maricela); her brother Ralph, and sisters Helen, Carol (Wayne), and Sharon (Bruce). Ruth was born in Lashburn, Saskatchewan and grew up in Edmonton Alberta. She graduated from the Alberta Hospital School of Psychiatric Nursing in 1958 and had a varied career in Mental Health and Social Service. Upon graduation she worked in Psychiatric Hospitals in London, Ontario and Vancouver, BC. Upon returning to Edmonton, she helped develop the first Adolescent Psychiatric Unit at the Glenrose Hospital, moving from there into the role of Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). She was the first Executive Director and Founding member of the Edmonton Women in Need Society (WIN House). In 1997 Ruth moved back to BC where she worked as Director of the Burnaby Mental Health Society. During her lengthy career, she received a number of awards and accolades for her positive impact in the field of psychiatry and social service. Ruth was recognized by all as a very kind, caring and inspirational person who always put family and friends first and foremost. Her family, friends and the many people whose lives she touched will dearly miss Ruthie. The family will be holding a private celebration of her life by request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the White Rock Hospice Society or the charity of your choice.
