Childhood memories lost
Eight months since joggers hit in crosswalk
Picturing the past
Police optimistic charges pending
Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Someone in White Rock or South Surrey must have the key to some precious memories of Stephen Ruebsaat’s childhood. Irreplaceable albums of photo prints, 30 to 40 years old – and now missing – chronicle happy times Ruebsaat, now 43, spent with his late mother, Bernice, and father Helmut, a keen amateur scuba diver, in such exotic locations as Saudi Arabia, Jamaica and Hawaii, as well as a stint in a boarding school in England. “My father was a medical doctor and he travelled to all these places, practising medicine, mainly so he could dive at them,” he said. The albums had been in the condo of his mother near Semiah❝They’re the moo Shopping Centre only trace of my before she died, suddenly and unexpect‘cosmopolitan’ edly, of a stomach childhood.❞ aneurism, in March. Stephen Ruebsaat She was 81. It was as Ruebsaat was going through her belongings to put together a photo tribute for her memorial that he realized that four or five of the familiar albums were missing from the rest. “I’ve been going nuts because I can’t find any of them,” he said. “They’re the only trace of my ‘cosmopolitan’ childhood.” A clue to their whereabouts surfaced when he was talking with a woman who used to clean his mother’s condo. She recalled Ruebsaat’s mother telling her she had taken them to be scanned and archived digitally – apparently intending it as a surprise for him. The problem is that Ruebsaat, a bathroom and kitchen renovation designer, hasn’t been able to find any receipt or claim form for such work among his mother’s effects, and local businesses have no recollection of the albums being left with them. “I’ve phoned Foto-Source, I’ve gone to Staples and London Drugs, but they don’t know anything about them,” he said. “Mom didn’t like to drive anywhere outside of White Rock, so I can’t think where else she would have gone to get that done. “I’ve wondered whether she was having the photos digitalized by someone privately, but I’ve gone through all her phone messages and notes and not found anything.” The only hope Ruebsaat has now is that reading this story will jog the memory of someone

The keepsakes were discovered missing after the unexpected death of his mother. who has been keeping the albums, possibly wondering why they have not been reclaimed. “They’re very important to me,” he said, adding that while he has a half-sister, Rika, from an earlier marriage of his father – who passed away just over two years ago – he was raised essentially as an only child. The albums, which he describes as “old-

Any information leading to their recovery will be gratefully received, he said. “It would lessen my grief at losing my mom to a considerable extent.” Ruebsaat can be reached at 604-329-0563.
Charges may finally be laid next month in connection with a December hit-and-run in South Surrey that injured two women. Cpl. Bert Paquet said Friday that investigators are optimistic that there will be action on the file “in early September.” Charges of hit-and-run causing bodily harm have been expected for months in the Dec. 3 incident, in which Shelley Lammers, 51, and running partner Nola Carlson, 54, were struck while jogging across 152 Street at 32 Avenue, just before 8 p.m. Lammers, a Delta resident, suffered a concussion, fractured ribs, broken vertebrae, a collapsed lung and a lacerated liver, while Carlson’s injuries included a broken nose and cheek. The incident was recorded by a traffic camera, which also showed a figure on foot approaching the injured women and leaning over them – some 25 seconds after the impact – before leaving the scene rapidly. The arrest of a 53-year-old man and the seizure of a BMW X1 in connection with the incident were announced by police on Dec. 6. A court date of May 13 had been mentioned, but further proceedings did not materialize. “The investigators are at the stage of formalizing the charges against the driver in collaboration with Crown counsel,” Paquet said. Paquet said that while the public is often surprised by how long it takes such cases to come to court, comparable delays are not uncommon “in the world we live in.” “It’s partly to ensure as thorough an investigation as possible, and partly just the process,” he said.

City sells eight decals Staff Reporter
Dismal response to White Rock’s off-season parking decal pilot program may be the result of high pricing, according to one city councillor. “I think if we want to attract residents from the surrounding area we’re going to have to charge a lot less,” Coun. Helen Fathers said Thursday. The program, launched last fall, offered off-season parking passes to non-residents at a cost of $175. Implemented in the hopes of off-setting other changes made to the city’s oftlamented pay-parking system, it needed to generate
$45,000 – the equivalent of selling 250-260 passes. July 29, council members meeting as the finance and audit committee learned the program nowhere near reached its target; that just eight of the decals had been sold since November – and none since January – for a total of $1,400. The decal-sales target was set by the Mayor’s Pay Parking Task Force early last year, after members brainstormed ways to address ongoing concerns that pay parking was driving business and visitors away from Marine Drive. The revenue was hoped to offset shifts to charge from
White Rock
10 a.m. to midnight yearround (instead of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. during the peak months) and split the year into two six-month seasons rather than charge peak rates ($3/hour) for eight months of the year. The program is to be reviewed this fall, with council to decide if the decals will stay or be scrapped. Fathers said while she had “a couple” of people ask about the off-season program, she can’t see it succeeding in its current form. “Unless the figures change, I don’t see how we can keep running it,” she said. “I think the numbers kind of speak for themselves.”

Province seeks 10-year labour agreement
No ‘showdown’ with teachers, minister says Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is pressing ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with its teachers, appointing a “public administrator” to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is temporary, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will continue to play an important role in talks with teachers and support
staff. BCPSEA will be under the The move is to meet a demand direction of Michael Marchbank, of the teachers’ federation to barCEO of the Hospital Employers’ gain directly with the provincial Association, when talks with the government, Fassbender said.

The structural change is needed to achieve the stability for students and parents promised by Premier Christy Clark, he said. “It’s not about pitting them against us,” Fassbender said. “It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.” A two-year contract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teachers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW radio Thursday his union isn’t opposed to a long-
term settlement, as long as more resources are there to improve classroom conditions. The BCTF is returning to court this fall to seek restoration of bargaining for class size and specialneeds support. School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees are to resume negotiations for a new contract this month, after walking away last spring because their negotiators didn’t believe BCPSEA had an adequate mandate to get a settlement.
Accusations ‘uncorroborated’
Sexual harassment alleged Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A former high-profile spokesman for the RCMP – well-known on the Semiahmoo Peninsula for local community initiatives – has been named as defendant in a civil suit alleging sexual harassment. The statement of claim against Insp. Tim Shields, the Attorney General of Canada and the B.C. Minister of Justice was filed in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday by Atoya Montague, identified as a civilian member of the RCMP’s B.C. communication services, who has been on medical leave since August 2011. Late Thursday, the chief officer of her division termed the allegations “uncorroborated and unsubstantiated.” Montague’s statement of claim details specific complaints against Shields, who at one time was the Surrey detachment’s media relations officer, and subsequently in charge of the strategic communications unit, to whom Montague reported. She alleges Shields made several unwanted sexual advances to her starting with a trip they made to the B.C. Interior in 2003 to drop off supplies to wildfire victims; and that he had continued to make inappropriate, sexually harassing comments and send text messages to her throughout their work association. Montague’s statement also charges that Shields’ alleged actions were in a context of “persistent and ongoing” sexual harassment practised by male officers with whom her job called for her to be in contact. She also alleges systematic harassment from the RCMP on the terms of her employment, remuneration, promotions and subsequent issues of her deteriorating health, which she attributes partly to the conditions she experienced on the job. The harassment even extends to threats from RCMP health services to cut off her medical leave and pay, Montague alleges. None of the allegations have been proven in court. In the statement released Thursday, Insp. Ed Boettcher acknowledges Montague’s allegations are serious. He said the RCMP had become aware of many of the allegations “through a third party” prior to the suit being filed and had launched an immediate investigation, however, repeated efforts to gather information directly from Montague had been unsuccessful. “Notwithstanding these efforts, Ms. Montague did not provide any information that would have allowed for a fulsome investigation of the allegations,” Boettcher said.

So far, in partnership with the school, they have raised $56,000, but Parsons said the parents are getting tapped out. “We can’t keep going to the same parents, over and over again, and ask for more money until we reach $100,000. It’s just not fair,” she said. The group is now appealing to local businesses and developers to help bring the playground expansion to fruition. Those who donate will have their names engraved on plaques that will stand at the playground. “We are wanting this to happen this year because we’ve been saying we want this done for a while,” Janssen said. “The kids are upset. They want a playground where they can all play together.” For more information or to donate, email andreajanssen@shaw.ca

isolation rooms for kids with infectious diseases. The bigger building also comes with 275 more staff and 3,750 new pieces of equipment, many of them being provided by the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Officials say the advanced new emergency department will help the hospital attract more specialized ER professionals. It’s all in anticipation of continued growth as Surrey’s population continues to rise. Fraser Health projects the SMH ER, which now handles
twice the number of patients it was built for, will hit 109,000 patient visits next year. Adult visits are projected to rise 30 per cent from 2010 levels by 2020 and climb a further 23 per cent by 2030. The new ER is just part of the $512-million SMH redevelopment and expansion. The rest of the project is slated for completion in 2014 and includes a new eight-storey critical care tower with 150 more inpatient beds, intensive care unit, academic space and perinatal centre.
Canada’s second largest emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital is getting set to open. At 57,000 sq.-ft. – five times the size of the current ER – it’s big enough to fit three NHL hockey rinks inside. And the size is just the start of its superlatives and unique attributes. Fraser Health officials say it will transform health care in Surrey when it opens Oct. 1. For one thing, it’s really not one ER but two – a second, dedicated pediatric emergency department is built into it with separate public entrances.

Man wanted on Canada-wide warrant
Fugitive runs right into Surrey cop Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for robbery and breakand-enter was arrested last week after trying to run from a Transit Police officer in Surrey – only to bump right into an RCMP officer. It was shortly before midnight on July 26 that a transit officer at the Gateway SkyTrain station saw two men who appeared to be in the midst of a drug deal. As he approached, the men saw him and ran. The officer recognized
one of them from a police bulletin and gave chase. The suspect ran southbound from the station – near 108 Avenue and 134 Street – turned the corner at 108 Avenue, and ran directly into a Surrey RCMP officer who was on routine patrol in the area. The man was taken into custody and turned over to Transit Police. The second man got away. Vancouver’s Fabian Yule Brown, 39, was arrested on three
warrants involving five charges. In addition to the Canada-wide, there was a Surrey
RCMP warrant for drug possession and an Integrated Road Safety Unit warrant for
prohibited driving. Brown remains in custody, and is due back in court today (Aug. 6).

Harper on the barbecue circuit
P
rime Minister Stephen Harper and other political party leaders will be hitting the barbecue circuit across Canada, trying to keep their ground troops motivated with a federal election two years away. Harper may come to this area again – he has often attended former senator Gerry St. Germain’s barbecue at his South Surrey ranch. The public likely won’t know if he does come, as members of the media are usually barred from attending. Interestingly, this is one reason why the barbecues are more important than ever for Harper this summer. For the first time since he has become Conservative party leader, he has an opponent with a formidable brand name – Justin Trudeau of the federal Liberals. While Trudeau is very much an untested commodity, thus far, attack ads mounted by the Conservatives have had almost no effect. The Conservative brand itself has been badly tainted by the Senate expense scandal, and particularly by Senator Mike Duffy, a former member of the media who is facing numerous investigations. While he now sits as an independent, some of the investigations centre around his billing taxpayers while at the same time doing Conservative political work. Because the prime minister has so little time for local media, most of whom have no interest in the battles between the Ottawa press gallery and the government, he foregoes the chance to get his message out via local television stations, community newspapers and radio stations. He has let himself become defined as an angry man, barricaded at 24 Sussex Dr., ranting at a long enemies list. Only a few Conservative Party members get to see something different. While his office avidly uses Twitter, even using it to announce changes to his cabinet last month, he isn’t reaching many potential Conservative voters that way. The biggest users of Twitter are from a generation that rarely votes. While Trudeau is untested, and the Trudeau brand has glaring weaknesses in Western Canada, Harper may have finally met his match after demolishing three earlier Liberal leaders. He could have had trouble with the NDP under Jack Layton, but thus far, Thomas Mulcair hasn’t done too much damage to him. Harper needs to reach the public without the Ottawa filter – and the barbecue circuit is one of the few ways he does so.

that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters. Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation. That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year, the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint landuse plan. Then, the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hardwon reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue-sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are wellintentioned and represent progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

Those who teach must lead Editor: I knew there were lots of careless and stupid drivers out there, but recently I saw something I thought I would never see: a driving instructor driving a company car using his phone in traffic. I wonder how he would react if one of his students pulled out a phone while driving. Would he tell that student to wait until he/she was as skilled as he is before trying to multi-task while behind the wheel, or would he say that using a phone while driving is illegal, dangerous and stupid? Probably the former, as the latter would be as hypocritical as a parent telling their child not to smoke – that smoking causes more than 50 diseases and shortens your life by almost 20 years, on average – then asking that child to bring them another “sickaret.” Do as I say and not as I do, eh? Jerry Steinberg, Surrey
who owns the largest coal storage at Roberts Bank in B.C. and the largest coal-trading facility on the west coast of America. Do I need to say more? Recently on the news, Mr. Pattison was in Victoria donating $5 million to a hospital (I hope it was the heart and lung ward), and I couldn’t help thinking of Jean Fisher’s letter (Why can’t we just say no? July 30) referring to “collateral damage.” D. Barros, White Rock
Animals deserve better Editor: Even if Canada outlaws all leghold traps, such as the truly cruel snap-jaw and snare traps, which cause animals suffering to any degree – and seriously enforces
that criminalization – humankind’s attitude will likely remain the same, quite notably witnessed with such needless entertainment as rodeos (e.g. the horse death in this year’s Calgary rodeo stampede). To quote Immanuel Kant: “We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” Frank G. Sterle, White Rock
A season of success Editor: The directors of the White Rock Social Justice Film Society, on the completion of our ninth season, would like to thank our members and the community for their ongoing support. In addition, we wish to thank all the local musical artists that have
donated their time and talents to providing musical introductions to our regular Friday evening documentary film presentations. This season ended on a high note with the superb cello performance of Ms. Kitty Chan at the last film, Regeneration – a documentary reviewing the impact of mass media on the younger generation. In particular, we would also like to acknowledge the sterling efforts of two remarkable young people: Raj Chatterjee and Marina O’Keefe. They answered questions from our audience in the First United Church in a mature and inspiring manner. As Grade 11 students (Semiahmoo Secondary), these two fine young people gave us all a good feeling that not all young people are succumbing to apathy and technotoys. We look forward to our tenth season, beginning Sept. 27. Herb Spencer, Surrey

Politicians must take stand Editor: I attended the recent information meeting regarding saving the environment from the dangers of escalating coal transportation in our area and the hazards to the environment. It was indeed informative, as it reinforced what everyone probably knows already, but also pontificated on the subject of the dangers of coal transportation. Three very knowledgeable and dedicated men came from across the border to explain and demonstrate the devastation of our ocean and fisheries, not to mention the pollution that would be so hazardous to everyone’s health and the general decline of our wellbeing as we know it. I was very impressed and glad that I had attended. However, I was hoping that there would be more involvement on the part of politicians. While there was some local representation, it is imperative that provincial and federal representatives take a stand on this issue. But there was no mention of this, in fact, it was mentioned that the BNSF is planning to invest many more millions of dollars into escalating their amount of trains to ship coal and other hazardous materials through this area. In Frank Bucholtz’s column last week (Coal key to railway profits, July 25), he pointed out that the BNSF is owned by Warren Buffett, who is a well-known billionaire and philanthropist, who at his age, is probably more concerned with the legacy of accomplishment that he leaves behind. Which brings me to our own British Columbian billionaire and philanthropist, Jimmy Pattison,

An increase in warning signs and lights at railway crossings is needed to improve safety, writes Cheryl Berti.
More steps needed for track safety Editor: Re: Safety review vowed, July 18. As usual, Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s comments are insensitive: “I do not know whether the whistle blew or not but it’s very clear the train is there... it’s a pretty big object and pretty hard to miss.” Not necessarily, Mr. Baldwin. Jogging is a form of meditation, and if you wear headphones it’s a doubleended sword in that for the most part you are ‘zoned out’ to your surroundings. Yes, Anita Lewis made a mistake and it cost her her life, but we are all human and mistakes are part of the process. When I first moved to White Rock, the first thing I did was map out my new jogging route. I put on my headphones and proceeded down the tracks from East Beach to West Beach, not realizing the dangers that lurked around me. I was also convinced that if a train were to come that it would sound its horn loud enough that I could hear it, but it was only when I saw people down the tracks waving frantically that I was alerted to the train directly behind me. That was a lesson well-learned, and I never wore headphones again while jogging at the beach.
I strongly believe that we all have to take responsibility for our actions, but the fact remains that we live in a resort town with an industrial zone, and I think more should be done to protect our personal safety, especially given that the trains may increase in volume and our population is growing rapidly. While signs are posted warning of the trains, we all know people rarely read signs, and for the most part are also plugged in to some kind of electronic device. We cannot control what people are using electronically or where they decide to enter the beach, but what we can do is post signs advising them not to wear these devices when entering the beach and to only enter at designated crossings. We should also install flashing lights at all of the designated crossings so that people will have a clear visual warning, and the engineers will not feel the need to blow their whistles unnecessarily late at night. We should also install train guard rails by the pier because that is where the traffic is at its heaviest. Ms. Lewis was one of the unlucky ones, so in her memory let’s ensure that better safety is forthcoming. Cheryl Berti, White Rock

Kristyl Clark’s new online endeavour aimed at families
Valley blog offers musings on motherhood Brenda Anderson
F
Black Press
raser Valley mommy blogger Kristyl Clark shudders a little as she recalls the moment social media bit her squarely on the butt – her bare, soapy butt. She was enjoying a quiet bubble bath, sipping wine and scrolling Twitter on her smartphone, when she stumbled across a post that caught her eye. “A big Fraser Valley lifestyle blog tweeted that they loved a new blog, and recommended checking it out,” said Clark, a Langley resident and former Peace Arch News reporter. “So I looked – and it was mine. I almost dropped my phone in the tub.” Clark’s new blogazine – She’s a Valley Mom – was far from ready to go live. It hadn’t been spell-checked, some of the stories lacked headlines, it was missing pictures and nothing had been formatted. Panic set in, and just like that, the late night sliver of “me time” the busy mother of two had managed to carve out was over. Pausing just long enough to wrap herself in a towel, she sprinted to her computer. “I was going to take (the site) down, but it had already gotten quite a few hits,” she said. “Apparently everyone had seen it, so I decided to leave it up and readers could just grow with me.” Just like parenting, she laughed, blogging is a messy business. That was a few weeks ago, and Clark still has no idea which button she accidentally pushed to spark her then-half-finished website to life. But the philosophical attitude she’s adopted as a stay-at-home mom of Molly, 4, and Zoe, 2, helped her to shrug off the technical hiccup and carry on. Today, She’s a Valley Mom is officially up and running. The Fraser Valley-centric parenting blog offers readers everything from recipes and a family events calendar to Clark’s Pink Laundry column, which runs monthly in PAN’s sister paper, the Langley Times. There’s also ideas for date nights, a weekly feature on inspiring moms and plenty of ’90s popculture references. Celebrity profiles Clark has published include those of Real Housewives of Vancouver star Jody Claman, and country singer and dad Aaron Pritchett. When Clark, 31, decided to leave her PAN reporting job two years ago, she figured she’d thrive in her new role as a stay-at-home-

Langley mom, and former Peace Arch News reporter, Kristyl Clark – with daughters Zoe and Molly – has a new blog aimed at families. mom. “I dreamed about baking my own bread, immersing my girls with fun, educational activities and having a tidy, organized home. Boy, was I in for a rude awakening!” After a few days of full-time diaper duty, toddler tantrums, missed showers and mountains of pink laundry, she quickly discovered that being a stay-at-home parent was nothing like she thought it would be. Clark also felt the pangs of loneliness that often come with the role. She decided to put her unused writing skills to use and launch a parenting blogazine, aiming to connect parents with valuable tips, resources and advice. Along with perspectives from an army of Valley moms and dads who write regularly for the blog, it includes details of her own
parenting wins – alongside some of her greatest crash-and-burn moments. Clark has poured out her soul in a post about overcoming an eating disorder. She also doesn’t hold back about the daily minutia of being a stay-at-home mom – fishing keys out of the toilet bowl and being peed on while shopping at the mall. “I’m the queen of TMI (too-muchinformation),” she said. Clark jokes about her level of candor, but agreed it takes courage to lay it all out in such a public forum. “I think a lot of moms who blog are afraid of being judged,” she said, noting that some commenters hide behind the anonymity provided by the web to say some pretty nasty things. Most, however, are supportive and appreciative; happy to learn they’re not the
only ones struggling with a particular issue, or the whole business of parenthood. Adding to the mix of parenting perspectives are six contributors, including a fellow Black Press reporter who struggled with infertility, a retired mom with two adult sons and a single dad raising four kids. “Just like the TV shows I grew up watching, moms in magazines always look so happy... so put together. Yes, there are lots of moms out there who are that way and kudos to them – I’m loving every minute of motherhood, but it’s a lot messier and chaotic than I ever imagined,” said Clark. “I think that if I had gone into it with a more realistic view I wouldn’t have had such a tough adjustment period.” Check out Clark’s blog at www. shesavalleymom.com, or follow her on Twitter @shesavalleymom

Jamie Leggatt reflects on Green Fighter contest
Challenge leads to healthy habits

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
Though she didn’t come away with the top prize, the Peninsula’s Green Fighter, Jamie Leggatt, said taking part in the healthy-eating competition over the past several months has been a “great experience.” With an overall fat loss of more than nine pounds, plus an appreciation for eating fresh, natural foods, Leggatt said she plans to carry on with her healthy, active lifestyle now that the 13-week competition is complete. “The biggest thing I’ve taken away from this is how important it is to eat real food,” the mother of two said. “Whole foods, foods that are in their natural states – not packaged foods.” Leggatt was particularly proud that she was able to maintain her healthy eating and fitness goals despite changing jobs in the midst of the competition; she left her post as a communications coordinator for the City of White Rock in May and is now working as communications officer for the City of Chilliwack. “It was definitely easier before when I didn’t have to commute,” she admitted, noting she’s on the road for more

B.C. entries into national championships full of Bayside players
Local flavour to rugby rosters Bayside Rugby Club is front and centre at this week’s 2013 National Championship Festival in Vancouver, as numerous players from the club are donning Team BC uniforms. Bayside is best represented at the U18 division – in both men’s and women’s tournaments. Team BC’s U18 men’s side includes Baysiders Cali Martinez, Drew Coles, Tim Stephens, Nick Wright, Joseph Carter, Matt Gallagher, Nick Collett, Christian Haldane, Andrew O’Connor and Gavin Rowell. Earl Marriott Secondary’s Thomas Choi is also on the team. Don Wright is also the U18 squad’s manager, and Andy Blackburn will be with the team as an assistant coach. The national champiThomas Choi onships began Monday Team BC and run until Aug. 11 at the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Park. The U18 boys will be seeking a third consecutive national title; they open the tourney Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. against Alberta, whom they defeated 40-16 in the title game last year. “There is some real parity in the U18 rugby competition this year with Quebec emerging as a top side, Ontario always posing a challenge and with Alberta proving to be a tough team,” said head coach Jeff Williams.

Christian Haldane, Nick Wright and Cali Martinez will play for B.C.’s U18 team. The provincial women’s team, meanwhile, is also stacked with local talent, as Nikolina Boundy, Jade Elidoros, Alexa Martin, April Martin, Alex Mueller and Lael Ross are all on the roster that was announced by Rugby BC on Aug. 1. Last year’s U18 women’s team placed third at nationals, and seven players on this year’s roster are returnees, including Boundy, Elidoros, April Martin and Mueller. “Alex Mueller will be a key player for us in the backs. (She) can play anywhere in the back line which will be useful at nationals
when we play as many games as we do,” said head coach Brad Baker. Bayside will also have one player on Team BC’s U16 boys entry at nationals, as Keenan Houde will suit up for the provincial side. At the U14 level, B.C.’s boys team will feature Bayside’s Thomas Blackburn, Quinton Brown, Trevor Kovits, Sean Short, Peter Mittermaier, Jaxon MacMillan, Tighe Andreou, Valen Garcia, Ronan Clark and Tarm Hrnykiw.

Eagles add three The Surrey Eagles have added three more players to the nest for next season. Last month, the reigning BC Hockey League champions announced that three players – defenceman Austin Edwards, forward Chris Seto and goaltender Bo Didur – has committed to play for the team for the 2013/14 season. “We’re very excited that these three players have decided to play for us next season,” said Eagles head coach Peter Schaefer. “Austin is a really good puck-moving defenseman while Chris is a skilled forward that had a great camp for us last
year. Bo was very well liked by our previous goalie, Michael Santaguida. “They’re all great additions.” Edwards, an 18-yearold Abbotsford native, played part of last season with the Junior ‘B’ Abbotsford Pilots, and also appeared in two BCHL games with the Chilliwack Chiefs in 2011/12. Seto, 16, spent last season with the Cloverdale Colts midget AAA team. Didur, meanwhile, is the only goaltender currently on the Eagles’ roster. The 16-year-old played major-midget last year with the Vancouver-Northwest Giants.

COTTON, Norah 1st October, 1922 24th July, 2013 Norah passed away peacefully after a short illness in Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock on 24th July. Over the past ten years she had courageously endured a number of operations and afflictions, but retained her spirit, sense of humour and firm Christian faith to the end. She is sadly and deeply missed by her husband David, her daughters Pamela & Caroline, her grandson Hamish, her brother David, her sons-in-law Tom and Rich, the Saunders family and the friends and neighbours who knew and admired her. Norah was born in Keighley, Yorkshire, England, of Scottish parents, Dr and Mrs David Hardie, and later moved to Bournemouth. After volunteering for the W.R.N.S. Norah worked as a doctor’s secretary and a dress designer, then trained as an Occupational Therapist at Oxford, where she met her husband David. After the birth of her daughters Norah retrained as a teacher, and found satisfaction for both professions by teaching in the children’s wards of Oxford hospitals. After retirement Norah and her husband moved to White Rock to join their daughters and grandson. Here she enjoyed attending church activities, gardening and entertaining, until 15 months ago physical and mental weakness forced her to retire to Ocean View Care Home, where she was very much loved and well cared for. There will be a Memorial Service and reception at First United Church, White Rock, at 2pm. on Thursday, 8th August. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.

Josephine Anna-Maria Van Stekelenburg – Slaghek November 30, 1924 July 28, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother after a brave battle with Cancer. She is predeceased by her husband Arnold (Nol) and is survived by her children, Margaret, Carol (Dave), John (Tracey), and grandchildren Matt (Michelle), Kristian, Nikolas, Nicole, Leslie and Shelley. With a happy disposition she became a world traveler, working as a children’s nurse aboard the Dutch Immigrant Ships until she met a dashing young dentist while in Jakarta, Indonesia. He lured her to Canada in 1956 and they were married in Edmonton Alberta. Three children and a move to Vancouver kept her very busy during those first few years in Canada. As her family started to grow up, she went back to her love of Art History, first volunteering her time as a docent in the Vancouver Art Gallery, and later on as a student of Fine Art History at Capilano College and UBC. After her husband retired and with more world travels behind them they settled in White Rock, where she donated her time at the Library and was a member of the Rotary Club. We would like to thank all of her friends and Staff especially Polly and Joleen at the Royale Peninsula, Dr. Pretty, Carol McVany, along with the many nurses from Fraser Health, the Surrey Cancer Clinic, and the Nurses and Staff at the Peace Arch Hospice for all of their care and attention while our mother was ill. We miss you Mama, Oma but know that you are safe in Papa’s arms again. Slaap lekker – Sleep Well A Celebration of Life will be held at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club on Saturday August 10, 2013 at 11am until 2pm, 18150 8th Avenue, Surrey. In lieu of Flowers please make donations to the Arts Umbella’s Bursary Fund a non-profit Children’s Art Foundation.
BRETTELL, Mary It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary J. Brettell. Mary was born on April 1, 1931 in Lancashire England and came to Canada with her husband Tom and 3 sons Martin, Paul and Mark. After a few years in Vancouver the family moved to Toronto where another son, Andrew was born. The family moved back to Vancouver to the west coast where her husband and eldest Martin unfortunately pre deceased her in the early 1970’s. She lived for many of the past 35 years in the Langley and White Rock area. She loved to travel, read and at various times was an enthusiastic member of the Coronation street club. In her last years she suffered from Parkinsons and was cared for at Morgan Place. We thank all of her care givers and the staff of Morgan for their understanding and support. She is survived by her sons Paul, Mark, and Andrew, and brothers Terry and Stephen, and sister Kathleen. Wishing her final peace in God’s hands.
