Bad for business Surrey lobby group says of marijuana

Board of Trade rebuffs reefer rethink Alex Browne Staff reporter

The Surrey Board of Trade is just saying no to legalized pot. Weighing in on the debate on legalization, a position statement issued Thursday by board CEO Anita Huberman advocates that current marijuana laws stay in place. From a business standpoint, it makes the best sense, Huberman told Peace Arch News.

“This is a leadership perspective. When we developed the position, the productivity and efficiency of the workplace was the main focus,” Huberman said. “When you have employees smoking pot, their attention is diminished and continues to diminish. It’s also a starter drug that can lead to all kinds of other drugs. We’re in a soft economy right now and we continue to be in a soft economy. We all feel the work-

place has to be looked after and this kind of distraction is not needed.” Huberman said the position was developed by the board’s Crime and Justice Advocacy Committee, presented with documented research and approved by the 19 directors of the board in September 2012. “The board is very diverse in terms of backgrounds and industries and elected with a mandate to speak on behalf of membership

and the business community,” she said. A Forum Research poll conducted last month found that 70 per cent of Canadians favour either legalization or decriminalization of marijuana. Fifteen per cent took the board’s position that laws should stay unchanged. The board of trade’s research, however, suggests legalizing marijuana would “pose serious negative impacts on businesses.” i see page 4

Erin O’Neill was around 25 weeks pregnant when she went into labour. She was having a routine gestational diabetes test when she started feeling lower back pain. “I started getting what felt like contractions,” said O’Neill. “I downloaded a contraction app on my phone and I quickly learned that my contractions were coming every three minutes.” The mother of two remained fairly calm and drove herself to Peace Arch Hospital. “I actually parked a block away, so I wouldn’t have to pay for parking. I thought it would be like my other two kids,” said Erin of her seven-year-old son and fiveyear-old daughter. But for Erin and husband Jamie, the arrival of Greyson was anything but routine. Their baby boy was born July 24, weighing one pound, 14 ounces. He could have fit into his father’s hand, if he wasn’t covered in the tubes and ventilators that he needed to stay alive. i see page 4

Fishery officers hope fines handed to two women who pleaded guilty last week to catching undersized dungeness crabs in White Rock will serve as a warning to a growing number who are breaking the law. In Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday, Chang Shin Park was fined $200 for a May 30 incident in which two people were charged, and Thi Tuyet Lien Doan was fined $450 after a woman with her two adult sons were caught June 13 with undersized crabs and more crabs than the allowed daily limit. Fishery officer field supervisor Kirk McCrae told Peace Arch News the fines are a reminder to the public of the need to be aware of regulations that guide crab fishing. Ensuring the minimum size is met “gives (the crabs) at least one or two chances to reproduce before they’re caught,” he said. McCrae noted the number of recreational crabbers has increased dramatically in recent years – fishery officers regularly see as many as 20 each day between the White Rock pier and Peace Arch Park, compared to two or three that was the norm just a few years ago. “It’s been a huge explosion,” he said. McCrae believes the jump goes hand-in-hand with an increase in violations, and he suspects the market price of crab is a driving factor.

Hit-and-run victims’ family relieved

PENGUIN MEATS – SPECIALS

Parole denied for driver vv

GESUNDHEIT FRESH BAKED BREADS ARE HERE! FRESH WHOLE

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The family of a Surrey couple killed in a 2008 crash is relieved the driver, Ravinder Singh Binning, has been denied parole. Binning was sentenced in spring 2012 to 4½ years in jail and a 10-year driving ban after pleading guilty a month earlier to five charges – two of dangerous driving causing death, one of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and one failure to stop at the scene of an accident. On Thursday, during a parole hearing held outside Victoria, where Binning is being held, he was denied day and full parole. It was July 12, 2008 when Binning was speeding down 128 Street near 85 Avenue in his Acura and slammed into a BMW carrying 60-year-old Bakhshish Badh and her 61-yearold husband, Dilbag, killing them. Daughter Varinder was Ravinder Binning critically injured and didn’t find out her parents were denied parole dead for two weeks. Rupi, who was driving the car, was also seriously injured. During the trial, she recalled the horror of seeing her mom, who was thrown from the car, lying in the street, while her dad was dead in the back seat. The family was heading home after attending an engagement party for Rupi and her then-fiancé. Members of the Badh family attended the hearing in Victoria Thursday and were glad Binning was not granted parole. Varinder Badh said Binning continues to minimize the incident and rationalize his behaviour and is not ready to be released. “The family feels a sense of relief that the

parole board recognizes road crimes in the same seriousness as other pragmatic offences,” said Varinder. “We cannot accept injuries and fatalities on the roads as the cost of transportation. Driving is a privilege, not a right.” During sentencing last year, Judge Reg Harris said though Binning apologized, he did not find the defendant showed genuine remorse. He also chided Binning for not only fleeing the horrific crash scene, but using his cellphone to call his own friends and family, rather than calling 911. Binning wasn’t arrested until 2010, and he denied being the driver. During the trial, the court heard his DNA matched blood found on an airbag in the abandoned car. He did not plead guilty until February 2012, on the day his trial was to begin, nearly four years after the fatal crash. The court heard that Binning, a former truck driver, had a lengthy prior driving record, which included 16 driving prohibitions between 2002 and 2009, many of them involving alcohol. Just months after the crash with the Badhs, he was caught driving the same stretch of road while drunk, sped from police, crashed into a fence and attempted to fight an officer before being arrested.

Recyclers, legislation lauded for return of graveside memorials

Half of stolen cemetery vases recovered Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Tracy Holmes photo

Bronze vases targeted.

A cache of bronze vases that piqued the suspicions of staff at a Surrey recycling facility last week have been confirmed as some of those stolen from gravesites at Victory Memorial Park. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Friday that police returned 28 containers to cemetery operators Thursday, and are now looking to find and question the woman who dropped them off to ABC Recycling. “This recovery of stolen items led us to the name of the subject of interest,” Paquet said. “(She) is known to police for property-related crimes.” After Peace Arch News reported last Tuesday that 46 vases had been taken from grave markers at 14831 28 Ave., further thefts were discovered the next morning, increasing the tally to nearly 60. In some cases, the culprit or culprits took vases that were in use, casting aside flowers that had been

placed by family members to honour loved ones. When contacted by PAN Wednesday, ABC Recycling’s Allan Seto confirmed a customer came to his Surrey yard the week before with an unusual number of the vases – enough to prompt him to report the cache, and the customer’s information, to police. “They brought in quite a few and that’s what triggered (the suspicion),” he said. “One of our warehouse guys said this stuff doesn’t look right.” Paquet commended Seto and his team for acting on their suspicions, and said officers are checking if other recycling facilities have received similar product. “We’re working really hard to find the other half and close the loop for all the families that have suffered through this,” he said. Cemetery general manager Bob Linklater credited media attention for helping “bring light to the situation.” He lauded city and provincial laws that allowed the recycler to record information that could lead

police to the culprit. “As soon as this person left, and with the laws in place, (the company) was able to call police with solid information,” Linklater said. Enacted by the province in mid-2012, the Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act requires scrap-metal buyers to keep a daily log of purchases and suppliers. The latter must provide ID, be registered and can only be paid by cheque for amounts over $50. Jas Rehal, Surrey’s manager of bylaw enforcement, told PAN that the act – along with changes the city made in 2008 to its own bylaws – has helped raise awareness of the issue and reduce problems. “Now we’re at a place where the dealers really understand our requirements,” Rehal said. Police are looking for a 42-year-old Langley woman in connection with the vases, and ask anyone with information on the remaining missing containers to call police at 604-599-0502.

Tractor hit from behind

Speed blamed Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A 17-year-old Surrey man has been charged with speeding, after a crash with a tractor lawnmower that halted traffic on 152 Street Thursday afternoon. The crash took place around 3 p.m. when a 2012 BMW driving northbound near 62 Avenue rearended a City of Surrey John Deere tractor that had an industrial-size lawnmower attached. Surrey RCMP said witnesses reported that the BMW was seen speeding up the hill in the lefthand lane and hit the tractor from behind after cresting the hill. Both vehicles flipped over and debris scattered the roadway in front of Sullivan Hall. Both the teen and the 53-yearold man driving the mower were taken to Surrey Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to police.

There’s an app for… school communications

Surrey district targets techno-savvy parents Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Need to know if school is closed due to snow or a power outage? Did you miss photo day? Wonder why the local school is locked down? A new free Surrey School District app will allow anyone with a mobile device to keep up-to-date on the latest school news. Called SchoolLink, the app includes access to general school district announcements and features, and also allows the user to select individual schools from which to receive regular and urgent information. A parent with children in both elementary and high school, for example, could choose to receive notifications from each of the schools. The application was proposed in January 2012; development got underway that spring. “It’s always been a challenge to try to ensure that communications from the district get to parents,” said Doug Strachan, communications manager for the Surrey district.

Polli Johal checks her iPhone to see what school supplies are needed for Roshni, 8. “Whether it’s the bottom-of-the-knapsack syndrome that we need to overcome, or having to pay postage to send personal letters to parents for important information, the use of technology is what’s needed to be pursued next.”

With an increasing number of parents contacting schools via email or using smartphones, an app was a “natural step,” he said. SchoolLink is currently only available to those with iPhones and iPads. An Android version is hoped to be available around Christmas. The app also allows users to choose what updates they receive – special announcements, featured stories and news – which reflect what schools have posted on their websites. During a security lockdown, for example, school officials would post a brief alert on their website, which would go directly to parents who have chosen to receive notifications. The district is working with school staff to ensure postings are consistent. “The company that developed it with us (Habanero Consulting) was sensitive to the fact that we needed it to be very simple and not disruptive, particularly for the schools, and, of course, simple for parents to sign on

with and take advantage of,” Strachan said. The app’s development cost the district about $120,000. Habanero took on about 40 per cent of the cost because the company hadn’t done apps for the web platform (SharePoint) used by the school district and considered the cost a research and development investment. The district will receive reports on how much SchoolLink is being used and is encouraging feedback from parents and schools. Paper and email newsletters will still be distributed to varying degrees, depending on the school. Other future developments of the app may include school calendars, staff contact information and the ability to follow teams and clubs. It’s also hoped the app can foster two-way communication between parents, schools and the district. To download it, visit the App Store on your iPad or iPhone and search “SchoolLink.”

IT’S OUR FAMOUS FALL SALE!

Commute takes its toll i from page 1 He didn’t breathe for a full 15 minutes after birth, and doctors prepared the couple for the worst. Greyson was rushed to BC Children’s Hospital and into the neonatal intensive-care unit where he has spent the last five weeks. Today, Jamie – a first-time dad – describes Greyson as “living proof ” that miracles do happen. Erin and Jamie have remained by their baby’s side, their world a day-today emotional rollercoaster as they fall in love with their tiny bundle of joy. Two weeks ago, they got to hold Greyson for the first time – “an amazing moment,” Jamie said. The proud papa has been keeping the Facebook world up to date on their journey, through “Greyson’s Page.” As of Friday, it had nearly 600 likes. The ordeal has taken more than an emotional toll on the family. Not knowing if Greyson would make it through each day, Jamie has been on leave from his job at Target. Erin didn’t qualify for maternity-leave benefits because she wasn’t working at her job long enough. That means there isn’t any income coming in while the couple stays at their baby’s side day and night. Because Jamie doesn’t drive and Erin was told she couldn’t for the first few weeks after the birth, the pair were taking the bus into Vancouver. It took them two hours each way. As they currently live in Langley – within Metro Vancouver borders – they don’t qualify to stay at Ronald McDonald House or Easter Seal House.

While Variety Club officials, who got wind of their situation, bought them some time at Ronald McDonald House, that ended Saturday – meaning the couple will have to drive to the hospital for the remainder of Greyson’s stay, likely more than two months. “We can take him home hopefully on Nov. 6, which was Erin’s original due date,” Jamie said. Erin has gone back to work once a week at White Sands Day Spa in Cloverdale to generate some income. On top of everything else, the O’Neills must find a new place to live. The home they rent in Langley has mould in the bathroom, and although they have tried to mitigate some of it, they can’t take the chance of mould spores when they bring Greyson home. They hope to find a place near Surrey Memorial Hospital, where Greyson will eventually be transferred. Friends and co-workers are organizing fundraisers in an effort to help ease the financial strain for the family. One of two variety shows is being held at the Langley Townhall Public House, 19640 64 Ave., on Sept. 8. Featuring celebrity impersonator Bonnie Kilroe and friends, shows are set for 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets, $25, include a burger and beer. There is also a bydonation family fun day at Extreme Equestrian, 25039 8 Ave., on Sept. 22, with pony rides and a pig roast. As well, a Baby Greyson O’Neill Fund has been set up at Envision Financial branch, as well as an online page at www.indiegogo.com/projects/ baby-greyson-needs-your-help

“There are advantages in things like child care, and it also saves in commuting time, when you’re having to drive to other communities to pick up elderly parents.” He also applauds the increasing trend toward mixed retail and residential developments, such as Morgan Crossing. “These areas are created around transportation, and that takes away the dependence on vehicles.” If the industry can focus on affordability of housing and efficient use of space, there will continue to be good opportunities for builders, Moody believes. He returned to White Rock with his wife and sons Michael, 13, and David, 10, two years ago. A former black-belt member of the White Rock Karate Club, Moody continues to be involved in the sport, but is also involved in his kids’ activities, including baseball, hockey, soccer, and piano. “Both continue to speak Japanese, although we moved back also for their schooling.” Ironically, he and his wife first met in White Rock at the old station building, now the museum, when it was being used for a karate class. “She was studying English and was down at the station with a friend, and was curious to see just what kind of karate people here were doing,” he said.

Notice of Public Hearing – September 9, 2013 Proposed Bylaw No. 1988

Contributed photo

A baby purple martin is checked out after its rescue earlier this summer.

Marine search and rescue save purple martins

Baby birds rescued An effort this summer by emergency crews on the waters off Blackie Spit wasn’t your typical marine rescue operation. On July 23 and Aug. 6, volunteers with Crescent Beach’s Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue team helped with the monitoring and banding of baby purple martins – North America’s largest species of swallow. The annual effort – in which 102 nestlings in 29 nests were banded – helps track the population’s migration and dispersal; a population that, in the early 1980s, was at less than 10 breeding pairs in B.C. Recovery efforts such as that

assisted by the RCM-SAR5 team this summer – led by volunteers from the B.C. Purple Martin Stewardship and Recovery Program – have helped it rebound to approximately 900 pairs on the south coast of B.C. On the two recent outings, the RCM-SAR5 crew maneuvered their dedicated vessel alongside old wood pilings at the mouth of the Nicomekl River to enable the stewardship team to access 34 nest boxes that are perched on the pilings. Twenty-nine of the boxes contained eggs or nestlings, up from 21 nests last year. For more information on the purple martin recovery program, visit www. georgiabasin.ca/puma.htm

Record pace for coal at port Fine Dining By the Sea Jeff Nagel Black Press

Controversial shipments of coal through Metro Vancouver are on pace to set a new record this year, and more crude oil tankers also loaded in the first half of 2013, according to port statistics. Just over two-thirds of the 18.2 million tonnes of coal shipped out in the first six months of the year was B.C.-mined metallurgical coal used in steelmaking, while the remainder – 5.5 million tonnes – was thermal coal from the U.S. “It’s the strongest first half we’ve ever seen,” said Port Metro Vancouver president and CEO Robin Silvester, adding coal exports are up nine per cent compared to the midpoint of 2012. The increase comes without a decision yet on whether the port authority will approve a proposed new terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks that could add up to eight million tonnes of annual coal-handling capacity. Nor is there any timeline for making the decision, Silvester said. Work continues to address outstanding questions, he said, including potential health impacts from coal dust that may escape. He said a report is being prepared by a third-party expert with expertise in human health impacts from coal and once complete it will be provided for review to area medical health officers, who have pressed for more study. “We hope that will move the debate from being somewhat speculative to being very objective,” Silvester said.

Much of the coal exported through Metro goes through Westshore Terminals in Delta. activists have sought to block more coal exports, particularly U.S. coal from Wyoming. Crude-oil exports

are also up so far, with 33 tankers loaded in the first half compared to 23 in the first six months of 2012.

Most of the tankers loading crude oil sent through the Trans Mountain pipeline to Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby were bound for California, Silvester said, adding some of that comes back to B.C. as refined petroleum. Tanker numbers fluctuate each year, he said, depending on how much oil is piped to Washington State refineries or used by the Chevron refinery in Burnaby.

Cloverdale woman sustained nine bites

Otters attack local swimmer

SUMMER CLEARANCE

Carole Rooney Black Press

Cloverdale’s Thersa Weltzin was injured last month when she was attacked by otters in a lake near 100 Mile House in a rare, but not unheard of, incident of humanaquatic life conflict. Weltzin was visiting in-laws at their cabin when she went for a swim to cool off shortly before noon on Aug. 1, in what she thought were safe waters. To her shock and terror, part way across Greeny Lake in the South Cariboo she was attacked and bitten nine times by at least one otter, possibly two. “As I was about three quarters of the way across, about (80 metres from the far shore), I heard a splash,” she told Black Press. “I looked around and about 20 metres behind me is this animal coming for me directly.” This worried her, so she stopped and watched as the otter then ducked under the surface, just off to her right. The former lifeguard and water polo player began to do a backstroke that kept her head up, when the otter attacked. “I’m pedalling backward and doing egg-beaters with my legs, and it’s biting me over and over again, and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs for my brotherin-law to help. It was pretty frightening.” She saw another otter at this time, but because the lake’s water is murky, she doesn’t know if it joined in the attack. Her husband’s brother, Brian Weltzin, heard Theresa’s cries and headed out in a kayak, with his son following in a rowboat, reaching her about five minutes later. “As soon as they came, I grabbed onto the kayak and the biting stopped. But (Brian) said he had the paddle ready to hit the otter.” The animal then swam away toward the east end of the lake, and Theresa was pulled back to shore by hanging on to the kayak, and taken to the emergency room at 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of her numerous wounds. A conservation officer was notified and attended the hospital, where she said he asked if she had seen otter kits anywhere, and she told him, “Oh,

Theresa Weltzin of Cloverdale shows one of the nine otter bites. God no.” She noted she swam across Greeny Lake two days before that without incident, and never saw any signs of an otter den or any young either time. It was a relief to get safely to shore, and once her wounds were attended to, she quickly returned home to see her family doctor. Weltzin was put on three combinations of antibiotics to prevent infection rather than have her wounds stitched up. She was directed to Surrey Memorial Hospital for a potential rabies shot, where the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, biologists and others were consulted and determined that rabies infection was “so unlikely” she didn’t need the vaccine. Weltzin counted nine bites. The biggest gouge was on her left calf and measured about one cm across by two-and-a-half cm long. There was another cut on her left thigh, one on her right leg, plus another six bites.

When her left finger was bitten as she tried to fend off the otter, she checked to make sure she hadn’t lost part of it, said Weltzin, who was left reeling after the attack, but avoids dwelling on other, potentially worse outcomes. Weltzin said she has since recovered from a bout of periorbital cellulitis requiring antibiotics by IV for six days, a course of treatment that wrapped up earlier this week. The COs told her they contacted the coast guard, which relayed back it gets one or two otter attack reports each year, but they typically bite just once and swim away. Conservation officer Len Butler said otter attacks are rare in B.C., but some bites have been reported on Vancouver Island. His “best guess” is the otters were protecting their pups, but as none were found, he added it may have been a territorial defence of the lake’s high minnow population.

Stay vigilant in school zones to prevent tragedy

uesday, Sept. 3 marks the start of the school year for most students in Surrey. As drivers everywhere know, this is a time for increased enforcement of school 30 km/h zones. Such enforcement is necessary: kids and parents alike are excited to be heading back and no routines have been established this early on. There are many things to watch out for as a driver in a school zone. For students entering their first year at a new school, the area may be unfamiliar and confusing, which could result in a small – but potentially dangerous – mistake. If navigating a busy school zone wasn’t hard enough for pedestrians and drivers, with technology now a part of students’ everyday life, it’s not uncommon to see earbuds snugly placed inside the ears of teenagers as they walk along the road, making them oblivious to the traffic and sounds around them – especially dangerous if they decide to cross the street at the wrong time. And when Little Johnny or Suzy decides to run in front of your car because he/she sees their best friend at the playground who they haven’t seen in forever... will you, as a driver, be ready? Before we see officers peering out from behind the hedge with radar guns, ushering speedy drivers to pull over, let’s all take a moment to realize that kids and teens have little chance versus fast-moving vehicles. Bikes, skateboards, scooters and little feet are surprisingly swift. And while cars can screech to a brake fairly quickly, sometimes it’s not quick enough. It only takes a moment of inattention for a tragedy to occur. Summer has a wonderful way of sapping our collective attention spans and, for the most part, that’s what we love about the season. But when the bell rings, be sure to holster the cellphone, give yourself enough time to get the lunches made and the kids properly attired before heading out onto the roads. Rather than shake our heads at the tragedies after they happen, let’s prevent them altogether. No appointment, meeting or practice is worth the risk. You won’t just save yourself a ticket. You’ll possibly save a life.

and a half for the first two hours, and double time after that. Contracts also include the provision that unscheduled overtime is subject to a four-hour minimum. It’s amazing how often an unexpected hour of work can arise when it’s paid at quadruple time. The Surrey school district contract details how even “spare board” employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a defined-benefit system most private-sector employees can only dream about. Then there are paid sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12. The Surrey contract details the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who retire as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come. It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that. There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction. This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

Singling out some riders

Keeping track of rail history

Editor: Re: Cities eye licensing wheelchair users, Aug. 27. While the majority of motorizedchair users are responsible citizens, there are the very few that have no regard for the safety of their fellow citizens. Eight years ago, I was able to go on long walks, but no longer can. The driver of the scooter quickly turned without looking, ran over my right foot, the scooter teetered and she ignored my cries of pain. She just drove off into the sunset, without a care of the damage she inflicted. If motorized chairs had a license plate and insurance, they could be identified and be held responsible for their actions. I paid for my orthotics and special shoes, but the citizens of B.C. are still paying for the medical costs. Bill Cameron, White Rock Q If scooters, wheelchairs and their operators are to be licensed, should not a selection of other mobility vehicles and operators also be licensed? Small electric/gas two-wheeled scooters, bicycles, tricycles, skateboards, sleighs and toboggans do not require licensing or training. Nor do cats! Strange that the Town of Sidney should single out the aged and infirm who spend money locally, draw employment and seldom compete for jobs. Strange that the UBCM should consider an issue like this, in the face of increased municipal costs that grossly outpace inflation. Being mobility challenged myself – I often use a cane – I find most people are considerate. Yes, there are some ‘entitled’ persons who will stand in your way, push or cut you off to be first, but surely education is the answer. Now, about cats. If cats were licensed I might discover where they live and go over and pee in their owner’s flower beds, as their cats do to mine. Now that would be progress. Don Murray, Surrey

Editor: Re: Respect the owner of trestle land, Aug. 20 letters. I want to take you back about 10 years or so to a rumour that was floating around White Rock. It was rumoured that the city was considering the purchase of a piece of property across the street from Sawbucks, where a restaurant is still located. It was also rumored the city was then going to build a parkade. At some point, this parkade and land were going to be turned over to the Semiahmoo First Nation to make up for the land that was expropriated by the railroad. I thought to myself, hmm, railroads can’t expropriate land. Governments can but not railroads. At this point, I began to ask some questions about this so-called expropriation. One of the answers that came was that the railroad bought the land from the Semiahmoo Band in about 1909. My next question, of course, was how do you know that they bought

Reflecting on Ryan’s story Editor: Re: He lived on the street but died amid friends, Aug. 15. Ryan is finally at peace. It’s a sad ending to a sad life, and yet we are the only ones that thought he was ‘sad’. Ryan was happy as can be, if someone stopped and chatted with him for a moment. A small thing to ask in this hurry-up world. I guess the letter writer who complained last fall about him moving to Bryant Park and being too close to her home is satisfied now. Enjoy your view. RIP, Ryan. Linda Arnold, White Rock

the land? The answer, “because I have a copy of the bill of sale!” And there it was, a bill of sale stating that the Semiahmoo First Nation sells the land to the railroad for the sum of $1,250.00, plus $50 for an orchard, plus, I believe, another $50 to move the cemetery, to the Victoria Railroad and Steamship Company. Another document is a letter from Sir Wilfred Laurier – the guy on the $5 bill – to Parliament or Department of Indian Affairs, I believe, asking them to ratify this transaction. A third document is a large map showing that the waterfront in front of the museum was intended to be a deep water port. It clearly shows that the railroad owns the beach from the pier all the way down to the railroad crossing at the west end of the beach. The railroad was eventually sold to BNSF and was ultimately sold to Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway. I turned these documents over to the White Rock Museum & Archives for all to see as part of our history. Hope this clears up any misunderstanding about who actually owns the railway land. Barry Gaudin, White Rock

Transparency starts at home Editor: Re: MP welcomes bill’s second chance, Aug. 22. It appears that our Member of Parliament, Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale), has again got the cart before the horse. If you are attempting to legislate the unions into providing detailed financial information, would you not first ensure that your own backyard is clean and transparent? You and your office spent nearly half a million dollars – $460,213.20, April 1 2011 to March 31, 2012 – of our taxpayers’ money on various items that are lumped into six general headings, with no details. Instead of focusing your energy on Bill C-377, would you not serve Canadians better by introducing a government regulation that would require total quarterly disclosure of all items claimed by any MP? True transparency should start at home and in the House of Commons. Aart Looye, Surrey

Letter writers suggest more should be done to ensure safety around trains, following a pedestrian fatality in July.

Give common sense a little help Editor: Re: Safety a matter of common sense, Aug. 22 letters. I find myself compelled to respond regarding the onslaught of letters regarding the recent tragic train accident (White Rock jogger killed by train, July 16). While I agree with letter-writer M. Watson that common sense is an issue when dealing with safety in all aspects of life, I take exception to the thinking that nothing further needs to be done. Why do we think stop signs were first invented? Was no one using common sense then, or did someone feel that this would be an added safety measure to prevent accidents from happening in the future? How about stop lights? Road-work-ahead signs. Speed limits. School zones. Speed bumps. Crosswalk signage. The list goes on. Using Watson’s theory, these wouldn’t be necessary either, because common sense would be enough. Having flashing lights, bells and railroad barrier arms at West and East Beach’s main crowd crossings won’t solve all of the train-safety problems in a populated tourist area such as White Rock, but they might prevent some and that’s just good common sense to me. Cyndie Richards, White Rock Q When I was a lad growing up in the Ottawa Valley during the 1940s, all rail pedestrian crossings had crossed boards saying, “Stop, look and listen.”

This message still serves me today. Most people seem unaware of the danger of crossings. For all – especially children – let’s return to crossed boards with these words. It will save lives. Terence Miller, Surrey Q We need to think about railway safety and ensuring that the controls in place work for everyone, including those who cannot always be present. For example, around school zones we have reduced speed limits for cars, signage and we teach our children to look, listen and walk. This includes ensuring drivers who have the privilege to drive are also responsible. Can Transport Canada and railway companies assure us that the railways in urban areas can stop in time if an errant situation exists. Or is the government and the railways more concerned about timetables and ensuring that coal-train deliveries are expediently delivered to China? Is it profits over community safety? Once we have the answer to that question, we might reduce the number of fatalities, just as we have in school zones for drivers. I agree we cannot account for every situation, and that teaching children to be cautious helps, but we need answers and responsible railways as much as we have young ones educated.

Sept. 3 - Sept. 7, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup.

Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It's not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation.

Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.

Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do.

Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.

Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out.

VIRGO Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so.

PISCES There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

Retirement Residence

Residents at Concord have something to smile about Spacious and affordable suites, including 3 home cooked meals, housekeeping and linen service, 24 hour emergency response, recreation and transportation.

Tense travel moments

Passport problem White Rock school teacher – and avid traveller – Audrey Painter shares a summer adventure that began with an invitation from a former student. (Third in a three-part series) Audrey Painter

Special to Peace Arch News

e were on the daily train between Prague and Belgrade. Getting on the train for the fivehour return trip to Serbia – with my former student from Semiahmoo Secondary who was accidentally travelling on her mom’s passport – was terrifying. “What now?” I asked, after four hours of small talk about Budapest. “Mom says they have a plan,” Kristina, 19, said. She seemed unsure. I knew that if a Serbian family had to get their child home from Hungary, they would have a perfect plan. There was a problem. I did not know what the plan was. Neither did Kristina. (I actually wanted to jump off the train, run via the fields of Hungary to the Ukraine and all the way to Serbia. Instead, I stayed with the child I Audrey Painter was responsible for.) Kristina’s passport crisis would be the station at Kelebia. We had imagined more than a million scenarios, and we were both petrified when the train pulled into this station. “I could fake sleeping again. You can give them the passports…,” Kristina stuttered. “No. We each have to give them our own passport. If they arrest you, I have to be able to get off the train to get you some help,” I said. It sounded like a good idea. I looked out of the window from the train hallway in Kelebia. They were there: Hungarian Border Patrol. Back in the compartment, Kristina sat like a statue. The train stopped. The officials climbed onto the train at the end of our first-class

The Hungarians stamped my passport. I walked back into our compartment. Kristina smiled. She had her own passport. They took it. The officers flipped through Kristina’s passport and frowned. They tapped on the empty pages. Where were the stamps? “I do not speak Hungarian,” Kristina said, giving them the sweet smile both of us had perfected by then. They stamped the passport and left.

There was no talking between us. Finally, we cleared the final border patrol where a big blue sign said: Welcome. Republic of Serbia. We were safe! We arrived in Mokrin late that night. The entire family waited for us. Neighbours and friends gasped, laughed, frowned and looked both bewildered and relieved as Kristina told them about the smugglers and the passport dramas. Kristina’s mom, Zorica, took me out of the house and thanked me, like only mothers do. I had no sweet smile or bravery left. I hugged her and cried. ••• Early the next morning, Zorica and I attended the morning service in the Serbian Orthodox Church. I did not understand a single word. It was an unique old church – closed for 30 years, during the Communist rule.

While most agree it makes sense to cover large debts with insurance, some argue when it comes to mortgages, most consumers treat it as an afterthought and don't realize that buying through a bank can be a costly mistake. With mortgage insurance obtained from a bank, coverage decreases with every mortgage payment but the premiums show no corresponding decline.

Life insurance is also "portable," you don't need to requalify for coverage during the term if you buy a new home and switch mortgage providers. By contrast, those who purchase mortgage insurance through a bank would likely need to requalify with the new financial institution.

Another medal added to Cloverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cache

Spurs take home the gold The Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association has added another medal to an already impressive total earned at regional and national competition. The Cloverdale Spurs won the gold medal at the Western Canada Peewee AAA tournament in Spruce Grove, Alta. Combined with a win at the provincial championships earlier this month in Prince George, the Spurs have won all 11 postseason games. They cruised through the competition in Spruce Grove, winning all five games. The closest margin of victory was eight runs, and the other four games ended early on the 10-run mercy rule. The team had trained through the fall and winter with coaching staff, which only made their big win that much sweeter, said manager Todd Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nice to see that hard work really does pay off in the end,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a rewarding feeling for both the players and coaches.â&#x20AC;? For the Spurs â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â many of whom have been playing together for the past four years â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the win was a breakthrough after past unsuccessful attempts, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell said, noting the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformation

under coach Tim Blake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always come up a little short, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to break through, but they finally broke through the provincial championship,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their coach has been working with them for a couple of years now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really changed a lot for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just look different. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of progress. The B.C. champions took advantage of strong pitching and excellent defensive play, and led the tournament with a team batting average of .546. Dami-

ana Palmegiani earned the Top Offensive Player award with a .722 batting average. Other players on the goldmedal team are Kayden Beauregard, Derek Best, Walter Dingwall, Rhys Folick, Daniel Gernon, Ben Godard, Jackson Hogg, Zach Nestman, Cam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, Travis Selje, Dylan Sheardown, Dallas Teichrob and Liam Vulcano. The head coach was Tim Blake, and assistant coaches were Jimmy Vulcano, Cliff Folick, Royston Grosjean and John Hogg. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with files from Sarah Massah

Miss Esther Miller slipped away peacefully mid August after 107 years of a gracious and happy life. She was predeceased by the other three Miller sisters, Leila, Mary and Clara, all born in Pennsylvania and immigrated to Canada in 1912. The family lived in Edmonton where Esther was the only sister to attend and graduate from the University of Alberta followed by more than 30 years of working in the Registrar’s Office. When she retired in 1958 she moved to White Rock with Leila and Clara. All of the sisters travelled extensively always looking after “little Esther” and enjoying their tea time conversations with family and friends. For the past ten years the care givers of Westminster House became her everyday family and friends. She is survived only by a niece in Victoria and two grand nephews in Pennsylvania who attended her 100th birthday and countless other family events, and soon her inurnment in late September. It was her wish not to have a memorial as she would want to be remembered only for her lovely smile and gracious manner. A truly unique and special life well lived. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
