City of White Rock backs mayor’s efforts to lobby federal government to relocate tracks
Trains can be gone in 5 years: Baldwin Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Trains that run through White Rock and South Surrey could be relocated in five years. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin made the “rough guess” on the timeline at city hall Monday, following council support this week of his motion to direct staff to get the ball rolling on the process to move the tracks. “There’s some routes that could be done
relatively quickly and others that would take several years,” he told Peace Arch News. Council voted unanimously in favour of the motion Monday, which included amendments specifying that staff “initiate the process and application” and work with Surrey and Delta officials where appropriate. Baldwin said the returned focus – the issue was the subject of a community forum last November – was spurred by the decision to
green-light a coal-transfer facility and word of an expansion to the Roberts Bank terminal. Baldwin said the application to the Canadian Transportation Agency, under the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act, is to address issues with dangerous goods, excessive train traffic, vibrations, noise and pedestrian safety. It must include a financial plan, proposed cost-sharing and a transportation plan. Semiahmoo First Nation has given ver-
bal support and the province will also be approached to partner on the effort, he said. Coun. Grant Meyer – who chairs the city’s rail-safety task force – acknowledged achieving the goal won’t be easy. “There’s going to be a lot of people that are going to say this is a dream, you’re out to lunch. It’s unfortunate (so many) people see the glass as half-empty.” i see page 4

Doug McCallum
Former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum has recruited four council candidates in hopes of injecting new blood into the civic election campaign for his newly created Safe Surrey Coalition. McCallum stood before a small crowd Tuesday beside the Newton district policing station and announced his team, which includes Surrey Now news-
paper editor Beau Simpson, lawyer Justin Thind, business owner Rina Gill and community advocate Laurie Guerra. The coalition released more details about McCallum’s election platform, including plans to scrap the city police committee in favour of a Mayor’s Integrated Public Safety Council. It would be open to the public, except when dealing with legal matters or personnel issues. McCallum – who served as mayor from
1996 until he was defeated by retiring Mayor Dianne Watts in 2005 – vowed to establish minimum thresholds for police service. He said he will double the number of officers on patrol and accelerate the hiring of 95 more officers by 2015. He said he will also double the number of bylaw officers to 48 and invest $4 million per year into a Crime Prevention Through Social Development Strategy. i see page 4

The main suspect in a series of South Surrey break-ins was found dead in Abbotsford last month. The 33-year-old man was discovered in a restaurant, stuck under an accordion-style security gate during a likely break-in on Aug. 15, according to Abbotsford Police. Surrey RCMP said this week that the deceased man was the main person of interest in their investigation. They have not released his name. On Aug. 2, at least six Grandview-area businesses were targeted within minutes of each other. Most were accessed by punching in the main locks in a search for cash. Sheila’s Bistro Lounge owner Batty Cox has video surveillance showing the intruder using a rock to smash the glass to gain entry, before leaving with $200. The damage, which was not covered by insurance, was about $1,000. “(Police) told me he had a rap sheet longer than both our arms,” Cox said. “Let’s say he hit 100 businesses – that’s $100,000. It’s not petty crime anymore at that point. “It’s an awful way to go, and I don’t wish it on anyone, but I can sleep calmer knowing he won’t be coming back to smash a rock into my window.”

That’s likely even more true after a series of SkyTrain breakdowns and the revelation that TransLink senior staff got hefty raises when there was supposed to be a pay freeze. Surrey could benefit from more transportation funding. The mayors’ ambitious plan calls for more rapid transit and significantly more bus service south of the Fraser. For many Surrey residents, those improvements must be seen soon. There have been too many promises over the years that have been slow to materialize – such as rapid-bus service over the Port Mann Bridge which only began for Surrey residents last week, with the 555 bus now making a stop at 156 Street. It took the concerted efforts of an 18-yearold, Daryl Dela Cruz, to push the city into spending $193,000 to make the stop finally happen. Dela Cruz deserves thanks. Hopefully he and other transit advocates will be paying close attention to the promises made about transit here, as the referendum date nears. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Councillor, mayor critical of Finlay Street development approved in 2011
White Rock bans coach houses for now Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock has placed a moratorium on issuing building permits for coach houses, pending a review of the zoning bylaw that allows them. The step, taken Monday at city hall, arose during discussion of a motion by Coun. Al Campbell to prevent any more of the accessory structures from being built in the city. Coun. Louise Hutchinson said while she is generally not in favour of coach houses, she couldn’t support an outright ban without first hearing from staff. “They do have a place in many municipalities. They work very well in Vancouver and Burnaby,” Hutchinson said. “I think it would be very remiss of council to
make this motion in the absence of any staff input. We have to be really sure that they are not going to work in any other place.” Campbell announced his motion at the July 28 council meeting, describing the option to build coach houses as “a loophole we have to close.” They are a selling feature; an open invitation for additional suites, contributing to parking and overcrowding, he said. Monday, Campbell reiterated his belief that “there is no place for coach houses in our city,” and he took umbrage with Hutchinson’s suggestion for a staff review. “I couldn’t disagree with you more,” said Campbell. “I don’t need staff to waste their time telling me this won’t work.” While Campbell said he supported a zon-
ing amendment in 2011 that cleared the way for a Finlay Street development that includes coach houses, he regrets the decision. “It was sold to us that these were great additions,” he said. “Future development to the east of that is going to suffer because of that call.” Coun. Helen Fathers cast the sole opposing vote regarding rezoning the Finlay lots. She said Monday that an experience posing as a prospective buyer only strengthened her resolve. She said she was told not to worry – that a basement suite could also be put in after the city had given the project the green light. “I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth,” she said. Asked what the city’s options were, director of development services Karen Cooper said
council could place a moratorium on the building permits and go through the process of amending the zoning bylaw; determine what lots would support coach houses; or establish criteria to improve coach-house developments. Mayor Wayne Baldwin described Campbell’s motion as “probably the right course of action.” “I know what he’s getting at. I’ve seen that mess on Finlay, I don’t like it,” he said. At the same time, he said there are instances where it may be “probably necessary” to allow coach houses; for example, on large estate lots. It would “not serve us well” to impose a blanket prohibition, he said. Baldwin said a moratorium would allow time for due consideration of the issue.
Charged in deaths
Dog walker mum in court Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A Delta dog walker accused in the deaths of six dogs that allegedly died of heat exhaustion in the back of her truck before being dumped in Abbotsford in May had nothing to say to reporters following her first court date Tuesday afternoon. While she was inside the Surrey Provincial Court building, Emma Paulsen didn’t enter the courtroom where Crown counsel and her lawyer convened briefly. Instead, she stood in another part of the building, away from where TV cameras could see her through the windows. When she did exit to a waiting car, her cellphone to her ear, Paulsen did not respond to media questions. In August, Paulsen was charged with six counts, including killing an animal; causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury; neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter; failing to protect an animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress; causing or permitting distress; and intent to mislead police in an investigation. She has not yet entered pleas. Owners of the deceased dogs and their supporters attended the brief court appearance Tuesday. Stephanie Marner didn’t blame Paulsen for rushing in and out of the courthouse. “I would be hanging my head, too,” she said, noting one of the dogs, a bouvier/poodle, was owned by her sister, niece and nephew. Paulsen initially reported the dogs stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley on May 13, sparking a widespread community search, but nearly a week later she said the dogs had died of heat exhaustion after she left them in her vehicle. Crown counsel spokesperson Gordon Comer said there are about 50 reports of animal cruelty to Crown every year. “The matter is before the courts. She’s presumed innocent at this stage,” Comer said. Her next court date is Oct. 17.

$400,000 estimate for new machines approved for White Rock waterfront
Convenience cited in pay-park update Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock’s waterfront pay-parking system is getting a $400,000 upgrade. The project – which includes the purchase of 37 new pay stations (including one spare) – received unanimous approval Monday evening. In the city’s financial plan for five years, the upgrade is expected to boost efficiencies and be more convenient for the public. One benefit named is that transactions will be processed on a “real-time” basis. “For example, if there was a parking ticket issued, the system will know it… immediately,” city manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News. “Right now, that information is downloaded after the fact. It has been problematic for people getting a ticket (who) want to pay it right away.” Sandra Kurylo, the city’s director of financial services, told council the new pay stations are “a lot more updated technology than what the city currently has.” Asked by Coun. Helen Fathers if there was a problem with the existing machines, Kurylo said they have been in place for about 10 years and are at the end of their useful life. “We can’t even get a service contract for the
File photo
city’s hardware anymore,” she said. The majority of the new dispensers will be solar-powered, and the system will integrate with the city’s new land-based management system. Bottrill said the upgrade will not lead to an increase in pay-parking rates, which are currently $3 an hour from May 1 to Oct. 31 and $1.50 an hour from Nov. 1 to April 30. It will enable violation tickets to be paid at any city facility. Currently, they can only be paid at the planning and development services counter in city hall.
Kurylo said there is also flexibility with the new system, citing an option to have those who pay by credit card notified by text message just before their meter time expires. Kurylo advised awarding one contract for the purchase and installation of the pay stations to Imperial Parking Canada Corporation, and a second contract – for the purchase of licences, installation of enforcement software and handheld devices and mobile printers – to Aparc Systems Ltd. The budget for the upgrade is $475,000. Total estimated cost is $394,069.

Noise issues ‘separate’ i from page 1 Coun. Louise Hutchinson expressed concern the new focus could derail ongoing efforts to address train noise and increase pedestrian safety. That work is to comply with orders from Transport Canada that followed the death last summer of a pedestrian on East Beach tracks. New signage has been erected; chainlink meshing is to be installed; and pedestrian crossings are to be levelled. “I don’t want us to go forward in a process that is going to be a lengthy one and lose sight of what we are already doing,” said Hutchinson. “And that is, to get our waterfront back, to be able to have the train traffic and pedestrians in somehow some harmony, and to reduce the noise.” Coun. Al Campbell, a member of
the rail-safety task force, responded that “the task force is on top of it… It’s important that you understand that we are doing those things.” Baldwin added that while the city is “negotiating (with Transport Canada) not from a position of power,” the relocation effort “is something else entirely different and we are going to proceed with that one way or another.” The city’s motion was well-received by council attendees. “My question is, how can I thank you enough?” said Susan Potzold. “You know you have a lot of support in the community for this.” Ken Jones, a former city councillor and MLA, described the directive as “a big step forward in making (the communities of South Surrey and White Rock) safer.”

Diverse political history i from page 1 McCallum also promised to shut down every unregulated drug recovery house in the City of Surrey. He says his promises will cost $21 million annually and will be paid for with the elimination of the Surrey City Development Corporation ($10 million each year, with the SCDC owing Surrey $70 million in loans, etc.); 25 per cent of taxation from new residents and business ($5 million); and one per cent in budget savings ($6 million). The savings will include putting an end to the yearly Surrey Regional Economic Summit, McCallum said. “People are fearful in neighbourhoods across Surrey and are looking for leadership, detailed proposals and, most importantly, a plan for action on the issue of public safety,” he said. “The Safe Surrey Coalition represents a group of candidates with diverse community involvement, political affiliations and professional backgrounds that are united by one overpowering concern: public safety.” Safe Surrey Coalition candidates

Gill last ran for council in 2011 as a member of former mayor Bob Bose’s Surrey Civic Coalition, Guerra served as an electoral district association president for the Conservative Party of Canada in Fleetwood-Port Kells, and Thind worked for Senate speaker Dan Hays in 2002 and is a director at large for the federal Liberals’ Newton-North Delta riding association. Simpson, meanwhile, has said he is on leave from his Glacier Media newspaper to run for council. Coun. Linda Hepner was named in June as Watts’ successor as leader of Surrey First, which swept the civic polls in 2011. Surrey businessman Vikram Bajwa and past Rotary president John Edwards also plan to run for mayor. Coun Barinder Rasode, who stepped down from Surrey First in April to serve as an independent, had told Black Press she would run for mayor if Watts retired. She is expected to announce her candidacy on Sept. 20 at SFU.

Sex attacker in denial, court told
Jail time urged for assault Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman seven years ago in White Rock “honestly thought that she was consenting.” And that element of “victim blaming” – identified in reports cited during sentencing submissions in B.C. Supreme Court last week – is just one of the reasons why Jason Andrew Robinson deserves jail time for the crime, prosecutor Winston Sayson said. Robinson pleaded guilty this past June to the Aug. 31, 2007 assault, nearly a year after he was ordered to stand trial. On Sept. 3, Sayson asked Justice Robert Crawford to impose a two-year sentence, followed by two years probation and 20 years on the sex-offender registry. Defence counsel John Douglas – who asked to have his arguments heard on Nov. 17 – told Peace Arch News he will argue for a conditional sentence of 18 months to two years. Douglas said there’s “no question” his client took advantage of
the victim. “You don’t have to get somebody to sign a consent, but you better be sure they’re in a position to consent,” he said. The court heard the early-morning assault on the 25-year-old victim occurred after she went to the beach with Robinson and friends around 2 p.m., then to a pub, home for dinner and to the Sandpiper Pub, around 7 p.m. Over the course of the day, the victim consumed at least seven doubles, while Robinson drank beer, the court heard. Sayson said the woman headed home alone from the pub – where Robinson worked as a cook – around 11 p.m. and went to bed. “She was quite drunk,” Sayson told the court. The assault occurred about four hours later. “She had her clothes on when she went to sleep. She was awoken by something and found herself naked, and the accused standing in front of her, also naked,” Sayson said. Robinson was holding the woman’s left leg up and she “felt… as if
she’d had sex,” Sayson said. The victim remembers yelling at Robinson to leave, then going back to sleep. She awoke at 2 p.m., showered and went to work. After telling her boyfriend – who was in the Maritimes – what happened, the victim and a male friend confronted Robinson. He denied the assault, and was not seen again by the victim until preliminary proceedings in Surrey Provincial Court last year. Sayson argued that expert reports show Robinson “is in a state of denial (and) frequently, he points to alcohol or cocaine as the reason why he does certain things. “The accused clearly is in need of intervention by way of courtsanctioned counselling.” In a brief victim-impact statement read by Sayson, the woman – who did not attend the latest proceedings and who cannot be identified – said the assault caused her to lose her trust of men, have trouble with relationships and turn to alcohol to block out memories of what happened. “This affected my whole family,” she writes.

New technology a driving force
W
e may think we need wearable technology – such as Google Glass or the new Apple Watch – and manufacturers would like us to think so, too. But the last thing we need in this day and age of multiple distractions is something else to divert our attention from the responsibilities of operating a vehicle. Most drivers would probably agree that erratic behaviour on the roads has not decreased over the past 20 years. Indeed, it appears we are now paying the price for past leniency in what seems to have emerged as current norms of driving – unsignalled turns and lane changes, sudden swerves within lanes or into the line of oncoming traffic, unexpected decreases in speed and failure to respond to traffic signals. Those who have ever wondered “what’s up with this guy?” have probably discovered more than once, on closer approach, a driver juggling the wheel and a cup of coffee; glancing down at a text message; or with a cellphone clutched to his or her ear. Since they, clearly, don’t see themselves as part of a problem, it would be meaningless to tell them that, on average, 30 people a year die as a result of distracted driving in the Lower Mainland alone – and some 88 provincewide. Similarly, it would probably mean little to those with such an undeveloped sense of selfpreservation, that current police fines could bend their pocketbooks by $167 for distracted driving to $368 for driving without due care and attention. So let these remarks be addressed to those of us who place a greater value on life. It’s time we demanded a much higher standard, and a much more stringent series of penalties for distracted driving that will anticipate the wave of new attention-grabbing technologies. The B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles believes that current regulations against using hand-held devices will also cover wearable technologies. He thinks continuing to monitor the situation is an adequate response. We’re not betting on it. When human life is at stake, we suggest, we can’t afford to take an overly optimistic approach. While it would be nice to believe that all human beings will behave responsibly, given a new set of temptations, bitter experience demonstrates otherwise. If somebody can do something unwise, most likely somebody will do it.

graduate this year. Like most grads of 2015, he became a student in 2002; strike action has become as inconvenient to his generation as a case of the hiccups – you know you’ll get them, you just don’t know when they’ll start and when they’ll stop. However, he and many of his friends have hit the financial jackpot within this strike, turning summer jobs into full-time gigs. And, as of Monday, I’m among the majority of eligible parents who have already ‘earned’ $200 in cash from the government. Money that I’ll likely split between college funds, but is intended to help pay for the struggles associated with the lack of schooling for my youngest son. But let’s be honest; those struggles are not mine. I will make it through this labour strife untouched. But that cannot be said for my kids, who have now lost three weeks of school and are set to lose this one as well. One son is anxious to finish up Grade 12 and move along into his chosen trade. Another son has dug his toes into the sand over homeschooling assignments, wondering what good online worksheets will do without a teacher to actually teach him. And finally, there’s my youngest son, who was so eager to leave elementary school behind. A boy who has yet to choose an instrument for band class, to outfit his first-ever locker, to figure out his bell schedule and to enjoy every other rite of passage September usually brings. They’ll never get this learning time back, and that’s the real struggle. Jessica Peters is the editor of Peace Arch News’ sister-paper, the Agassiz Harrison Observer.

Pay for service or give it up Editor: Re: Honour System is cheaper, Aug. 26 editorial. Some thoughts, as prompted by your editorial on Canada Post’s requirement of a doctor’s note to continue home delivery. Seniors, wise as you would expect them to be, who choose to live in a single-family residence know full well that, in life, one can’t often have things both ways: give up what you love or you pay for it. Fen Kong Liew, Surrey
Educated arguments Editor: The B.C. teachers strike has captured the nation’s attention because it confirms what others have long felt: our province is a little crazy. Sure, Toronto has Rob Ford, but we have our Bountiful polygamists, our naked Wreck Beach vendors and, now, a battle reminiscent of the feud in Huckleberry Finn between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons. In the novel, a boy explains to Huck how the feud will play out: “By and by, everybody’s killed off, and there ain’t no more feud.” In the current B.C. feud, all the teachers may soon be bankrupted and, by and by, there’s no more feud. The education minister says he’s holding the line on public-sector settlements. That may be true, but so is the fact that schools have been closed for over three months to half a million kids – some of whom are at risk, some of whom depend on school meal programs. The BCTF is now shifting position by calling for binding arbitration, reducing its demands by hundreds of millions and taking references to the court case over learning and working conditions off the table. Yet the stalemate remains. Like the aged boxers in the film Grudge Match, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and union leader Jim Iker continue to senselessly beat the hell out of each other. Like all fights, it has stopped being about who is right but who is left – left with any credibility. The minister said six months ago that “B.C. has one of the best education systems in the world,” but no one would say this today. The BCTF leader says the strike is for better public education, but when two-teacher families lose $20,000 and students are barred from school friends, teams and classroom life, this isn’t better – except for private schools, which are ready to write Fassbender and Iker a cheque. Fault clearly lies with both parties. The BCTF has long been a front for the NDP and labour organizations and spends millions at election time to discredit the BC Liberal party and bite the hand that feeds its members. I pay $2,000 yearly in union dues to have my financial interests protected, not gambled away. The Liberal government has said
repeatedly it seeks a negotiated solution, but docked 10 per cent of teachers’ salaries weeks before schools were even closed. Fassbender has not moved an inch in months, and was largely unavailable through the summer. The government is also gambling by thinking a protracted strike will break the BCTF. What they are not considering is the effect this will have on schools once the feud is over, for 40,000 teachers are not going to roll over. The aftermath of the strike may prove as harmful to students, with spiritless schools and the cancellation of extracurricular activities, field trips and after-school tutoring. Jim McMurtry, Surrey Q Why do we have teachers determining class size and education budgets? Isn’t that, in effect, their objective in this strike? Class sizes and wage contracts and demands? Isn’t that the mandate of governing bodies, such as the provincial government and the school board? Don’t we elect these leaders to represent us in managing our children’s education requirements? Consider that if our governing representatives are failing us, we can fire them and elect those who will represent us according to our will. We give the government the power to allocate taxpayer money. Budgets are supposed to be fiscally responsible and taxpayer funds need to be divided in an equitable way. Unions obviously have had
their value, particularly in the private sector. They have proven to represent and help members that were being abused financially and in the workplace. But why do we sanction the power of such organizations in the public sector? B.C. has had a history of publicsector unrest. Is this more because union members are being abused or is it more a reflection of the power of those unions in our province? I think the government needs to take a stand. The teachers are wrong here. Look at the damage this strike is having on education. The only way the teachers can improve our kids’ education is in the classroom. So what if teachers’ wages don’t compare to other provinces? If the strike is not about money, then leave the other issues for our governments to sort out. But if this strike is truly about money, then please stop trying to manipulate our emotional connection to our kids by saying “this strike is for the kids.” Guy Shaddock, Surrey Q I have a solution for parents of young children who are having a difficult time finding daycare during the public teachers’ strike. Take your kids to a pub. Thanks to the BC Liberal government, who are at least partly responsible for this situation, people can now take their children into drinking establishments and, thanks also to the Liberals, said drinking establishments can now offer “happy
hour” – more booze for less money. So, drop your kids off at your local neighbourhood pub, collect your $40 per child per day and use some of it to buy all those inebriated “unlicensed caregivers” even more drinks. Then enter “Cock and Bull Pub and Daycare” into the appropriate line when declaring your daily $40 from our most generous – with taxpayers’ money – government. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey
Free trade in plain English Editor: In recent days, our minister of industry, James Moore, announced he is going to take steps to stop the Canadian Trade barrier. The wording is so ironic. Here is our prime minister, Stephen Harper, touring the world to negotiate free trade; glamourizing free trade with Korea in Langley, B.C. Why did Moore not use plain English – “will create free trade in Canada”? Using those kind of words will upset Quebec City holding patronage guaranteed rights to provide, for example, 40 per cent of the Canadian dairy products and eggs. Sounds encouraging, but as long as Quebec City holds the power, nothing will happen – all words to make one feel good. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

There’s still time for the province to remove light rapid transit (green) from Surrey’s plans, writes Brendan Read.
fax: 604.531.7977
Better ways to get around towns Editor: South Surrey and White Rock residents should reject the TransLink mayors’ council plan as it now stands, as it will do more harm than good to their transit trips and wallets. The mayors swallowed Surrey’s light rapid transit (LRT) plans that will not only cost more than bus rapid transit (BRT) – $2.2 billion compared with $900 million – but will have a longer journey time to Surrey Central and SkyTrain and force inconvenient transfers at Newton. The net result is a terrible-value-for-money proposition. For these reasons, the City of White Rock voted in favour of BRT and improved bus as outlined in the Surrey Rapid Transit study in 2011, following the recommendations of White Rock’s transportation committee, that I was vice-chair of, whose members participated in the TransLink study. The other Surrey LRT routes are also problematic. BRT is the best choice to Guildford, as buses can then use the Highway 1 HOV lanes to Langley, and they can also reach Maple Ridge. There are no ideal options to Langley on the Fraser Highway corridor, as all three choices – BRT, LRT,
and SkyTrain – will carve up Green Timbers Park and the ALR by Highway 15. Moreover SkyTrain loses its appeal and its efficiencies for long commutes, like from Langley to Vancouver, with cramped seating and no restrooms. If there is room for added rail in Surrey and Langley, it is with a diesel-multiple unit (DMU)-operated commuter rail from Waterfront to Langley, and eventually Abbotsford and potentially Chilliwack, over the BNSF and the Interurban. The “South Fraser Express” or SFX would provide direct, high-quality premium-fare service on existing tracks, like the West Coast Express, but with short (twoto three-car) DMU trains and platforms. SFX would cost less than LRT or SkyTrain to build. South Surrey and White Rock commuters could use SFX by taking the bus or driving to Newton, Sullivan or Cloverdale. Noting that the vote on the mayors’ council plan has been delayed, this is an opportune time for the province and the mayors to fix the flaws like by removing LRT and come up with an attractive, feasible, and costeffective plan that benefits all communities. Brendan B. Read, Belmar, N.J.

heir green thumbs are getting a big thumbs-up from their neighbours. Residents at a Marine Drive development on White Rock’s East Beach have enriched the local scene for themselves and others by turning a moribund strip of typical condo landscaping into a community garden by mixing floral plants, herbs and vegetables. And it’s an approach that could easily be imitated by other similar developments, said condo owner Rosalind Hewson, a Washington State University-certified mastergardener who initiated the project with fellow retirees Carol Knott and Eve Weimer and another resident, Lindley Lieuw. Together, they’ve turned the concrete-enclosed elevated strip, along a walkway at the back of their Pacific Pointe Condos units bordering Maple Street, into a community-building statement of resourcefulness and pride. In its second year at Pacific Pointe, the garden is an unqualified success with both residents and pedestrians in the neighborhood, Hewson said. “Everybody in the condos are for it – there’s a long waiting list to be part of the garden,” she added. “And people, as they come along, stop and chat and pick the peas and the sweet peas.” But it was an uphill battle to get Alex Browne photo the garden established at first, the trio – proudly sporting ‘Gardening Gardening Divas (from left) Eve Weimer, Carol Knott and Rosalind Hewson transformed a strip of dead and dying rhododendrons into garden plots bearing kale, tomatoes and peas as well as floral plants.

The key to a useful and eye-pleasing condo garden is striking the right balance between ornamentals and edibles, says Rosalind Hewson.
Others encouraged i from page 11 In the final analysis, it was easy for the Pacific Pointe’s strata board to make the changes to rules and bylaws to enable a community garden to happen, and Hewson would encourage others to learn by their example – and from their experience in choosing
and cultivating plants and crops for such limited spaces. Hewson said she would welcome inquiries from others who would like to take this approach at their own condo developments. She can be contacted for advice at 604-5603501.

One of their alternative restaurants is Sabatini’s, which serves authentic Italian cuisine, with fresh, homemade pastas, seafood, and other specialties. If you’re lucky, those Italian waiters will serenade you as you dine! For activities and entertainment onboard enjoy informative lectures, fitness classes, and countless treatments in the Lotus Spa – or simply relax by the pool. In the evening, entertainment sparkles with comedians, magicians, live music and dancing in your choice of lounges, Vegas style floor shows, and Princess’ famous Movies under the Stars! Ports of call include Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala, Costa Rica, two full days in Panama (one devoted to delivering wheelchairs, the other a full day transit of the fascinating Canal), Cartagena in Columbia, and Aruba in the Caribbean. During the full day stop in Panama City you will deliver brand new wheelchairs in partnership with the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation (cdnwheelchair.ca), a registered charity that has transformed over 350,000 lives through the gift of mobility since 2003. By providing a wheelchair to someone who lacks personal mobility, you are giving the person hope for the future, freedom, dignity and independence. As importantly, 10 lives are positively changed for each wheelchair that is delivered. People lose mobility for many reasons including disease, war, accidents and aging. Polio is one of the top global causes and Rotary International has been a world leader in the fight to eradicate this disease from our planet. Raising awareness of Polio’s life-altering effects is an important part of achieving the aim of a Polio-free world, and one of the goals of our trip. In March of 2015 we embark on an unforgettable journey that will allow us to connect with others through service. Through a collaboration of Rotarians and other like-minded travelers you will experience first-hand the impact of the gift of mobility!

DID YOU KNOW: Since becoming a pharmacist last year, one of the things that has surprised me the most is how many people have trouble taking prescription cholesterol medication. For the vast majority, the benefits of these medications outweigh the risks, but people ask about natural approaches every day. Family Care Pharmacy strongly believes in practicing both prescription and complementary & alternative medicine, and one of our favourite disease states to talk about with our patients is cholesterol management.

reakfast has an impact on a children’s level of energy, memory, ability to solve problems, creativity and behavior. As the most important meal in the day, it is hard to believe that one in seven children in Canada is at risk of going to school on an empty stomach every day. COBS Bread is partnering with Breakfast Club of Canada, a non-profit organization that provides funding, equipment, food, training and services to school breakfast programs across Canada. Breakfast Club delivers school breakfast programs to more than 1,250 schools and 130,000 children across the country. It is Breakfast Club of Canada’s dream that all children will have an equal chance to start their school day with a nutritious breakfast in an environment that promotes self-esteem.
VISIT COBS BREAD FROM SEPTEMBER 11-24 COBS Bread’s Higher Fibre Loaf is a healthy, kid-approved bread and is a nutritious way to start the day. During the Higher Fibre for Higher Learning campaign from Sept 11 - 24, when you purchase a Higher Fibre loaf from COBS Bread, $1 will be donated to Breakfast Club and will feed one child breakfast. In an ongoing capacity, COBS Bread will be donating to BCC through its End of Day Giving program. Your support of COBS Bread during the Higher Fibre for Higher Learning campaign will improve the lives of those in need and to help set Canadian children up for the success that they deserve.

Isabelle Jones marked her milestone birthday.
Ocean Park resident celebrates
A century of memories Isabelle Jones, resident of the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion at Peace Arch Hospital, proudly celebrated her 100th birthday last month at both a gathering of fellow residents and at a separate family event. She was born Aug. 17, 1914 in the County of Kinross, Scotland, daughter of Scots emigrants and Canadian pioneer settlers Elizabeth and Hugh Rae. The family originally came to Canada in 1910, settling in Commerce, Southern Alberta, where Jones’ father farmed and worked as a coal miner. But when Jones mother was expecting her, her mother returned to Scotland so that she could be born Scottish, just like older sisters Lizzie and Jean and brothers Tom Ralph and Andy. Unfortunately, the First World War interrupted family life and Jones was five years old before she and her mother were able to come back to Canada in 1919. Jones, who has five grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and seven great-great grandchildren, has led a busy and interestingly varied life, according
to daughter Shirley Wiebe. At one time or another, she has cooked for and fed farmers from a chuckwagon in the fields at harvest time, run a garage, a furniture-moving company and a bowling alley. She also sold Studebakers, and ran a motel/coffee shop in Creston, B.C. where she was famous for her pies. In 1934, she married Arthur ‘Buck’ Jones and they lived in Lethbridge, Alta. for 46 of their 50 years of married life. Her husband had a son, Gordon, from a previous marriage and Shirley followed soon after. A lover of animals, especially horses (she once rode one in the Musical Ride at the Calgary Stampede) Jones also enjoyed bowling and traveling with her husband in the camper van. Jones’ husband and stepson both died in 1984 – Buck from a stroke and Gordon from complications from diabetes. She moved to Ocean Park in 1999 to be nearer her family, and has lived at the Weatherby and Hogg pavilions since 2007.

‘Authentic minstrel’ to perform Sept. 27
Comeau to kick off season Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Don’t try to tie Gary Comeau down, or pigeonhole him in one category of music or another. In his career, he’s moved with apparent ease through realms of blues, jazz, cajun, roots and the singer-songwriter idiom, and, in his own unique way, has been true to all of them. He sings, he plays fiddle,
mandolin, accordion and piano and he tinkers, endlessly, with other instruments and musical ideas that take his fancy. As we talked recently, he ruminated on his, as yet unfulfilled, yen to play trumpet and cornet – inspired by one of his many musical idols, Louis Armstrong. At the same time, he’s fascinated by the “rich, bottomy, droning sound” he got

Longtime battery-mates star for Team BC at bantam nationals
Pair cap busy summer with bronze Nick Greenizan
I
Sports Reporter
n baseball, it’s called the battery – the combo of pitcher and catcher. It is, without question, one of the most integral parts of a team. The pair need to be in sync and communication needs to be perfect, so the pitches end up being thrown to the right place, rather than thrown wildly, or, worse, deposited by the batter over the outfield fence. Basically, without the battery, the team doesn’t run. But such a power outage has been a rare thing for the White Rock-South Surrey baseball teams that Sam Shoemaker and Dawson Gray have played on through the years. The teenage battery – Shoemaker is a pitcher, Gray a catcher – have played together since they were nine years old, and have plenty of experience representing White Rock in tournaments throughout B.C. and the United States in recent years. But for the two 15-year-olds, this summer topped them all. First, Shoemaker and Gray – along with fellow White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association teammates Jackson Hogg, Marshall Luiz and Jacob Graves – were part of the Surrey (Area 3A) ball team that defeated Vancouver 8-7 to win gold at the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo in June. The pair doubled their medal count later in the summer, when, late last month, they were part of
the Team BC squad that won the bronze media at national bantam championships in Vaughan, Ont. They had been chosen for the provincial squad shortly after their performances at the BC Games. “This has definitely been our busiest summer, for sure,” said Shoemaker. “And it’s easier to pitch when you’ve played (with your catcher) for a long time, especially because we only had a couple practices (before nationals). “You know their style, you know how the other person plays.” In Vaughan, the B.C. team went 2-2 in roundrobin play, and lost to the Ontario provincial team – the eventual gold-medal winners – in the playoffs. Both shone in the bronze-medal contest against the hosts from Vaughan, a game that B.C. won 7-3. Shoemaker was on the mound for the victors, pitching six-and-two-third innings, allowing just two earned runs to earn the win. Gray, meanwhile, was steady both behind the plate as a catcher, and beside it as a batter, with two base hits. Twice during the tournament he was awarded player-of-the-game awards – one for his defence, and one for his offence. At the event’s end, he was named the nationals’ top catcher and an all-star after finishing with a .421 batting average. Not to be outdone, Shoemaker picked up game MVP awards in both games in which he pitched, finishing with a 1.40 earned-run average and 17 strikeouts in 10 innings. “It went really well,” he said.

Majority likely to back ‘Yes’ side but TransLink support slipping
Transit vote ‘winnable’: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press
New polling data suggests a planned referendum next March on new taxes to expand the Metro Vancouver transit system could yet pass despite waning public support for TransLink. The survey was conducted for TransLink in two phases in May and late June by Maple Leaf Strategies, before and after the release by Metro mayors of their $7.5-billion expansion plan. The first phase found found 57 per cent of respondents were very or somewhat likely to vote ‘yes’ in the referendum, followed by 56 per cent in the second phase. About a third said they were unlikely to vote in favour. “That is very encouraging for us,” said Bob Paddon, TransLink’s executive vice-president of strategic planning. “A referendum is winnable.” The survey found 58 per cent were willing to pay higher taxes, fares or fees if the money raised is dedicated to new transportation and transit projects. A larger majority of 75 per cent agreed that “even if taxpayers don’t like new taxes and fees, they are necessary to build new transit and transportation infrastructure to deal with congestion.” A further 79 per cent agreed public transit investments help ease congestion for vehicle drivers. The surveys of more than 500 residents have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 per cent. “There’s an appetite out there to solve this problem of congestion and people understand that’s going to cost money to do it,” Paddon said. “They also want to ensure those are good investments and they’ll be managed well.” SFU City Program director Gordon Price said he also thinks the referendum may be winnable, but cautioned there are major risks. “Those are more optimistic results than I would have anticipated,” he said of the polling data. A companion survey from Mustel Group indicated declining overall support for TransLink – down to 68 per cent of respondents with a favourable
opinion from 75 per cent in 2010 when the Canada Line opened. And the polling was conducted before two major SkyTrain shutdowns fueled intense criticism of TransLink in May, as well as this week’s release of rising payouts to senior executives. Price also noted there’s no final agreement between the mayors and the provincial government on what tax mechanism would be used and no clarity on what it would cost the typical household – answers that voters need as soon as possible. Even assuming the mayors and province reach a deal, transit advocates like Price expect a difficult battle for votes against anti-tax opponents of TransLink spending. Much, he said, will come down to how voters perceive the question. “If it’s a vote on TransLink, most people think it would be very tough,” Price said. “If it’s a vote on our future, the chances increase – provided the number is palatable, people believe they’re getting value for money and all parts of the region benefit.” Also essential, he said, is that politicians across the spectrum and right up to the premier support the plan and the Yes campaign. The poll results also suggest the mayors’ top choice of increasing the carbon tax in Metro to fund their plan over the short time has less support than other options. Fifteen per cent picked the carbon tax as their preferred revenue source. In contrast, 27 per cent listed a $75 vehicle levy, another 27 per cent chose tolls of up to $2 on all bridge crossings in the region and 17 per cent picked a regional sales tax of up to one per cent. According to the Mustel poll, those with good impressions of TransLink most often cited convenient, easyto-access transit that takes them where they want to go. Those who dislike TransLink had negative opinion of management (29 per cent), dislike TransLink taxes (21 per cent),
or called it a waste of money, inefficient or a monopoly (20 per cent). Sharply more South of Fraser residents in Delta, Surrey and Langley – 35 per cent – opposed TransLink taxes. Others said bus service isn’t convenient or accessible enough and needs to be expanded outside Vancouver. Some said transit is too expensive. Those whose impressions had
recently improved listed improving service or the construction of the Evergreen Line. Those with worsening impressions listed poor route scheduling, poor money management, bad service outside Vancouver, fare increases and poor management. Further down the list were concerns about fare evaders, the new Compass card system, security, taxes and bridge tolls.

Items like the Apple Watch are raising concerns.
Distracted driving could be issue
$5,000 RČ” *
Concerns over wearable tech Jeff Nagel Black Press
The rollout of the new Apple Watch this week has police and provincial officials monitoring whether B.C.’s distracted-driving law is broad enough to bust drivers who use new wearable technology. “We haven’t seen anyone using Google Glass or other wearable electronics yet, but I think it will only be a matter time before we start seeing it more frequently, especially as new products enter the market,� Delta Police acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow said. Apple’s smart watch was unveiled Tuesday along with new iPhones, and the device will allow users to read and send texts, among other functions. Swallow is concerned the use of smart watches may not be covered under the sections of B.C.’s distracted-driving law that ban the use of handheld electronics. “Something like a watch that is designed to be used on your wrist or Google Glass – they’re not designed as handheld electronic devices.� There’s also a section of the law that bans drivers from using any electronic device to send or receive email or texts, but that covers
just two of the functions of the new gadgets. Police can also use the Motor Vehicle Act section against driving without due care and attention but, unlike the distracted driving law, officers must see evidence of risky driving to issue the $368 fine and six penalty points. Police have long had that ability to fine drivers who swerve while they adjust stereos, juggle a hot cup of coffee or scold children in the backseat, but the $167 distracteddriving fines have been used much more frequently since their 2010 introduction. Sam MacLeod, B.C.’s superintendent of motor vehicles, said his office believes the current distracteddriving law is broad enough to capture Google Glass or smart watches, but added the definition of prohibited devices could be expanded if needed. “We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our legislation against these new technologies and will make changes if needed,� MacLeod said. “We are obviously concerned about the development of any technology that could distract drivers from focusing on the road and the task of driving.�

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car, accompanied by a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it,” establishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both.
The Kia K900 has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space, but this car offers it at a discount.
‘‘
Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space, but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a week-long trip with my family, I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before, but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet.
Looks
The K900 is an unfortunate name – It begs the question, is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American-looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done a good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature tiger nose grille. The rear bumper and lower-air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips.

Luxury is “in the eye of the beholder” The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system.
Drive The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old
engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000 km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100 km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quiet is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.
Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to

the competition and power isn’t a problem, especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked.

A sleek and peppy roadster for the people Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the twodoor roadster did have everything else on its side.
– and took me out for rides very frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times.
public reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it.

The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Alexandra Straub
’’
A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short of longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide.
World record The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the frontengine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course
Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the ’80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more welcoming.
Radical new car? Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there is sure to be a polarizing

Buyers looking beyond home features when purchasing By Kerry Vital
The decision on where to purchase a new home goes beyond the features of the homes themselves. Beautiful countertops or elegant flooring go a long way, but there are a few other features that buyers are increasingly looking for. Those features include an amazing amenities space. “In the past, we saw amenities spaces tucked away within
buildings, which were small and uninspired compared to what is available today,” says Cressey Development Group’s Hani Lammam. “Amenities are becoming central to a building’s design.” Among the popular amenities in new home construction are a full-size gym, a yoga studio, gardens, a music room and large communal entertaining spaces. “We’re noticing that distinct architectural styles appeal to the
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
homebuyer, such as multi-level and indoor-outdoor amenity spaces,” Lammam says. “Specifically, we’ve seen buyers wanting amenities that they will really use and which will add to their quality of living.” To capitalize on this, Cressey has included beautiful amenities in several of their recent projects. Richmond’s Cadence features a rooftop garden and glass “Jewel Box” pavilion that holds an entertaining lounge and kitchen. Maddox in downtown Vancouver includes a full-size indoor gym as well as a podium entertaining space linked to the main building. Concord Pacific is also integrating amazing amenities in their new projects. For example, Park Avenue in Surrey’s City Centre has a tennis court, putting green, theatre, fully landscaped sky gardens and many more. Their Richmond master-planned community of Concord Gardens has a banquet hall, grand ballroom, lantern pavilion and several other stunning features.

The Summit Residences by Domae Homes is perfectly situated in Chilliwack to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer, including tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. The spacious homes are available in a variety of open-plan layouts, allowing homeowners to personalize their home.
Ascending to the peak at The Summit Residences By Kerry Vital
Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community
himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there. “We build homes that we care about,” he says. “These are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.” Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, The Summit
Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a naturelovers dream. Thom Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities. “These views are to-die-for,” Chester says. There are controlled and registered building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.
The 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre site are available in a range of floorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfinished basement. Curb appeal is not in short supply at The Summit Residences, with their Craftsman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage. “No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options.” Spacious open-concept floorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fill the space. Hardwood laminate flooring throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fireplace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room. The gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience. The ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and floating under-lit hardwood cabinet. Homes start at $450,000. For more information, visit www.summitresidences.ca, call 604-824-6473 or stop by the sales centre at 47150 MacFarlane Place, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Thursday and Friday.

In Loving Memory of TREVOR GIBBON Nov. 1, 1968 - Sept. 10, 1989
I Am With You Still I give you this one thought to keep I am with you still - do not weep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplighting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not think of me as gone -I am with you still - in each new dawn
Love Forever Dad, Mom, Danielle, Tyra & Justice
