Shoulder harnesses would endanger aircraft passengers, victim’s parents advised
Anger over Transport Canada reversal Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
As a South Surrey couple’s push for smallaircraft safety reforms continues to gather support, officials with Transport Canada now say a key request for change – for the use of shoulder harnesses to be mandated in older planes – is “not practical or feasible,” and would endanger passengers. “Most of these aircraft structures are not
robust enough to support shoulder restraints in the event of a crash,” senior communications advisor Mélany Gauvin told Peace Arch News by email this week. “In addition, research has demonstrated that shoulder harnesses would introduce new and unanticipated safety hazards, such as hindering evacuation during an accident.” Greg Sewell – who, with his wife, Fran, has been pushing for changes since their daugh-
ter Lauren died in a small-aircraft crash three years ago – was livid at the response. “This is a bunch of garbage,” Sewell said Wednesday. “For this individual to say it’s not practical or feasible, that’s reprehensible.” The Transport Canada statement was received Tuesday, after PAN requested clarification on the agency’s position with regard to the shoulder harnesses. Previous statements have noted that Transport Canada
encourages use of the harnesses “where available.” They are mandated in small aircraft (with nine passenger seats or less) manufactured after Dec. 12, 1986, but have been recommended for older aircraft repeatedly over the past two decades in both Transportation Safety Board and coroners’ reports.

Roadwork end in sight
Smoother travels ahead Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Motorists frustrated by the bumpy drive along several blocks of South Surrey’s 24 Avenue this year are starting to feel some relief. Long-anticipated paving of the roughly patched thoroughfare between King George Boulevard and 148 Street got underway last week. Its completion – along with that of 152 Street between 20 and 24 avenues – is expected in mid-September, Scott Neuman, Surrey’s manager of design and construction in engineering, told Peace Arch News. “We all want to get this area finished,” Neuman said. “We’ve had calls and emails regarding the road condition, and asking us to get the paving done as soon as possible.” After driving the area himself last week, Neuman said he “was happy to know they were going to be moving ahead.” Work on the two roads started in early December, but was delayed first by water main leaks, and then by a request from Fortis for time to redo gas mains. “We deferred the paving for a couple months (for the Fortis work),” Neuman said. i see page 4

Provincial appointees speak only for large cities, Burnaby mayor contends
Corrigan criticizes TransLink appointees Kevin DIakiw Black Press
The appointment of former civic bureaucrats from Surrey and Vancouver to the TransLink board of directors further shuts out smaller communities, Burnaby’s mayor says. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender (MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood) this month announced Murray Dinwoodie and Jim Chu had been appointed to the TransLink board. Dinwoodie is the former city manager for Surrey and Chu is the ex-chief of the Vancouver Police Department. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the appointments further isolate smaller communities, charging that other regional municipalities are already rendered effectively voiceless by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, who – as
chair and vice-chair, respectively, of TransLink’s Mayors’ Council – control the agenda. The Mayors’ Council appoints the majority of members on the board of directors and approves various transportation plans, including transit service levels, major capital projects and regional funding strategies. Corrigan said Surrey and Vancouver used their “weighted votes” to install themselves as heads of the Mayors’ Council. “This only adds fuel to that fire, (with Fassbender) appointing former employees of both Vancouver and Surrey as the (provincial) representatives,” Corrigan said. He questions how two former civic bureaucrats qualify as provincial representatives. “That was the reaction from the mayors, is how do these two represent the province’s interest?” Corrigan said. “The expectation was always that (the province) would
appoint MLAs, or at the very least, deputy ministers to that position.” In those cases, the provincial representatives would have the authority to speak for the provincial government, he said. “But in this case, neither of these parties have the authority to speak on behalf of the provincial government, because their relationship is so distant.” Fassbender acknowledged the new directors won’t have powers beyond a regular director, but said they will represent the province. “Both Jim Chu and Murray Dinwoodie have extensive experience, not just in the civic level but at the regional, provincial and national levels,” Fassbender said. “I’m positive that their contributions will be invaluable.” Hepner said Corrigan’s concerns are unfounded. “On a personal level, I have always been a
collaborative player,” Hepner said Wednesday. “I don’t see it as a power struggle, I see it as an acknowledgement of the importance of the projects that have been determined by the entire Mayors’ Council, with the exception of Corrigan.” Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said he welcomes the local expertise. “(Dinwoodie and Chu) understand the region and I think that’s a good thing,” said Moore, noting that each has experience working on regional initiatives. “I think most of us as mayors, when we go to Metro Vancouver, we go to TransLink, we think it’s from a regional perspective,” Moore said. “And I expect that they (Dinwoodie and Chu) will do the same thing.” But Corrigan disagrees, saying Vancouver’s and Surrey’s influence over TransLink decisions has effectively been “doubled.”
Ruling against resident
Strata eviction delayed by judge A White Rock man’s claim that his rights were infringed by his strata council was dismissed in BC Supreme Court this week. The ruling was passed down Tuesday by Justice Trevor Armstrong, in response to Roderick Louis’s petition that his rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated, when the strata at his Martin Street condominium in 2013 ordered the sale of the apartment in which he resides. However, while Armstrong dismissed Louis’s claim of a rights infringement – ruling that the Charter only applies to government bodies, which a strata corporation is not – he ordered the strata to provide Louis with minutes and notices of strata meetings, and to stay its ordered sale on the unit until a vote is held with threequarters in favour of continuing the petition. The condo was owned by Louis’s mother, until her death in 1999; Louis lives there under an agreement with his brother and the executrix of his mother’s estate. Louis and the strata council have long been at odds; according to Armstrong’s ruling, Louis stopped paying strata fees in 2012, however payment disputes date back to 2008. In an email to Peace Arch News Tuesday afternoon, Louis said he is considering appealing the judge’s ruling. “Today’s court decision unfortunately falls far short of what I strongly feel is required to remedy the many blatant defects in B.C.’s strata property act,” Louis said. – Melissa Smalley

Robin Douglas at odds with landlord, city, Vancouver Police
Pro-pot pastor proclaims partial win Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A White Rock man who was facing eviction from a home where he operates a cannabiscentred church said he has won an appeal of the notice to leave. “The eviction was thrown out,” Robin Douglas told Peace Arch News the day after the hearing. “The landlord-tenancy advisor ruled in our favour.” Douglas opened his Church of the Holy Smoke on the Marine Drive rental property earlier this year. He was handed an eviction notice in June, and a hearing on the matter was held Aug. 12. Monday, officials with the province’s Ministry of Natural Gas Development, which is responsible for housing, would not confirm the decision, citing privacy. It could also not be confirmed with Douglas’ landlord, who spoke to Peace Arch News during a confrontation at the property earlier this month but declined to identify himself.

Sewell noted Transport Canada has acknowledged in its own documents – including in one issued last November – that the use of shoulder harnesses in conjunction with a safety belt “can reduce serious injuries to the head, neck and upper torso of aircraft occupants and has the potential to reduce fatalities of occupants involved in an otherwise survivable accident.” The conflicting messages are frustrating, Sewell said. “They continue to point out the merits of shoulder restraints yet somebody has made a statement that it’s not practical or feasible… Are they saying the value of a life

i from page 1 Residents concerned with the roads’ condition have also contacted PAN, with one describing the condition of 24 Avenue as “deplorable.” “It’s been torn up time and time again,” said David Secord. “You drive over it and your teeth get rattled out.” Doug Pawson, who lives in the 15300-block of 24 Avenue, said he was frustrated by the lack of notice of overnight work that occurred on Aug. 20 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning (last Friday). Previously, residents had received advance notice of upcoming work delivered to their homes. However, word of the overnight efforts was simply posted in the clubhouse of Pawson’s townhouse complex, where it went unseen by many residents, he said. He learned of it himself when it was already underway, he said – too late to plan for alternate accommodations for the night. “Our china was rattling, we’ve got pictures that were disarrayed,” Pawson said. “The shaking was just unbelievable.” Neuman explained the notice, dated Aug. 17, was short due to the prompt turnaround of the work, which had to be scheduled around the competing interests of area businesses – as it required the closing of entrances to Peninsula Village – and residents. While Secord questioned if taxpayers would be footing the bill for the “sub-standard” water main work and paying extra for the paving, Neuman assured there have been “no extra costs at all.” Significant costs associated with the leak have been recovered from the contractor, and the additional repaving “is not coming out of (taxpayer) pockets.” Neuman estimated the paving investment in the two roads at $1 million. The end of another South Surrey roadworks project is also in sight, although a little farther in the future. Neuman said that another project in the area – the widening of King George Boulevard from 34 Avenue to Crescent Road – is largely finished, however, a bridge that is part of the project is not anticipated to be complete until the end of the year or early January.

Mailboxes targeted again Thieves targeting community mailboxes have struck again in Grandview Heights. Damage to and theft from a pair of the mailboxes near 26 Avenue and 171 Street was reported to police by an area resident on Aug. 17, after it was hit overnight. Last December, two of the heavy-steel boxes were stolen in their entirety from the 16900block of 28 Avenue. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said police did not attend the scene of the latest damage, “as there were no suspects, no witnesses and no mail inside.” Canada Post spokesperson

Mailboxes damaged this month. Anick Losier said the work is “clearly” that of criminals, but was not able to elaborate on the extent of the problem. Earlier this year, Losier said a task force was working on a “multi-pronged strategy” to
address ongoing mailbox-robbery issues. She reiterated Monday that when it comes to the crimes, “where there’s a will, there’s a way despite best efforts.” At least one area resident said more can and should be done to prevent the crime. Murray McFadden told PAN that he plans to renew his push for the use of surveillance cameras as a disincentive next month. Residents who receive their mail at a community box are encouraged to collect their mail daily, and to immediately report suspicious activity to police. – Tracy Holmes

Mechanical failure is being investigated after a car launched into a South Surrey restaurant Aug. 19.
No injuries in restaurant crash Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to Peninsula Village last week, after a Subaru Impreza crashed into the front doors of a restaurant in the South Surrey shopping centre. The driver, a 64-year-old South Surrey resident, was not injured in the mishap, which occurred around 6:20 p.m. Aug. 19 at Pasta Vino Trattoria & Bar. Police say the restaurant was closed at the time, and investigators are look-
ing at whether a mechanical problem led to the unexpected entry. There were also no injuries in an evening mishap the following evening in White Rock. Const. Shaileshni Molison said the “non-event” occurred when the driver of a four-door sedan reversed too quickly in a parking lot at the corner of Johnston Road and Roper Avenue, striking a cement barrier. –Tracy Holmes

Gun violence society’s problem
T
he on-air shootings in Virginia that left television news reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward dead, and interview subject Vicki Gardner wounded, cannot be avoided. Unwitting viewers of their station were suddenly eyewitnesses this week to an appalling, coldblooded crime, when all they thought they were watching was an innocuous interview on tourism. While major news outlets exercised some restraint, the spread of social media – and the consequent ease with which we can access images – has ensured that many of us were also eyewitnesses to murder, without much choice. Some may decry the media themselves, and urge further limits. But, in many ways, the very availability of such sickening imagery is a reminder that we can’t turn a blind eye to a plague of violence that afflicts all of us, no matter where in the world we live. It is a fact of life, and we are not cushioned by distance or comforting notions that, terrible as it may be, it is someone else’s problem. There is another fact of life – brought to us vividly by this tragedy – that cannot be avoided. When gunman Vester Lee Flanagan took video of himself as he – seemingly calmly – took aim at his victims Wednesday, he bore witness to a simple truth. He reaffirmed that guns are deadly weapons, capable of ending lives in a matter of seconds. Flanagan described himself on Facebook as a “powderkeg ready to blow up.” As in so many other cases, this ‘powderkeg’ had a gun in his hands. Believing himself to be a victim of systemic racism, he had legally purchased the pistol, and the hollow-point ammunition, in the wake of another tragedy, one in which another ‘powderkeg,’ Dylann Roof, killed nine people in a Charleston church in June. From the relative comfort of our small corner of White Rock and South Surrey, it is easy to point fingers at our neighbours to the south and urge them to adopt more stringent gun controls. Canada, for whatever reason, has never had the same sense that bearing arms is a basic, constitutional right, or the belief that allowing citizens to carry loaded weapons contributes to a safer society. But at the same time, we cannot claim a holierthan-thou attitude. We cannot claim that gun violence has never intruded here, even on the quiet Semiahmoo Peninsula. And the Virginia tragedy poses questions that none of us can hide from. Can we truly know what’s going on in other people’s heads? Can we recognize when anger has reached a flash-point? Would we trust our gun-carrying neighbour to protect us – or would we suspect that some day, that same weapon might be used to victimize us?

leader in recent days telling me what the others are doing wrong – but, so far, I have had just one email cross my desk from a local candidate. (That one, incidentally, was critical of a previous column on this page, not making a personal promise). Perhaps I’m being unrealistic. Perhaps our local candidates defer to their leaders. Perhaps they have surrounded themselves by such party insiders that they truly believe all voters have made up their minds already. They’d be wrong, by at least one vote. I haven’t made up my mind, and any one of them could earn my vote based on what they say and do – or not – between now and election day on Oct. 19. Their roadside placards and parties’ television ads do little to affect my vote, as those public statements (yes, even the attack ads) say next to nothing. At least to me. While I don’t know who many of my friends support, a number have made it all too clear who they’re not voting for. And, like the candidates themselves, it sounds like their minds are made up. Yet my vote’s still for sale. Not to the highest bidder, but to the local candidate who earns my trust. So tell me something meaningful. Don’t just espouse the party line; tell me what you, the candidate, will do in Ottawa that will somehow change my life. This is an all-too-serious issue, but perhaps I’ll have the last laugh in seven weeks’ time when my eventual candidate of choice wins by a one-vote margin.

Editor: Re: Consider OCP’s impact on city, July 31 letters. I have lived in Richmond for over 30 years. I finally could not accept the way Richmond has gone to the dogs, and I am afraid South Surrey is heading that way, with allowing the high condo building to go on now. Well, that’s one of the reasons I moved out here. The Richmond council had been bought by off-shore money and developers. With the dollar, they tell the council what do. It won’t be long, there won’t be a piece of green grass anywhere – just a cement city, no fresh air, no farms. I am very disappointed city council has let this happen – like Vancouver, Richmond, now South Surrey… I sure hope I do not have to move again. So far, I love it here and the people are great out here. Ron Seligman, Surrey
Speed fines, not safety, motivate Editor: As I was walking along Crescent Road on a Saturday afternoon, I noticed that drivers were slowing down as they emerged from a 50 km/h zone into a 30 km/h zone. Then I saw the reason: a radar trap. It was the first time since the last radar setup – a weeknight, if memory serves – that I had seen drivers braking when they approached the lower speed-limit zone. The cause of their braking was seeing the speed trap, not a desire to stay within the speed limit and reduce the risk of injuring or killing someone. Hey, whatever works, eh! The officers had pulled over several vehicles and were writing up tickets. My sincere thanks go to the RCMP for working hard to make our streets safer for everyone – dogs, cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. When you think about it, if an accident is inevitable, wouldn’t you rather get hit at 30 km/h than 80? Jerry Steinberg, Surrey
Sinking not a new feeling Editor: Re: Sinking feeling for Marine residents, Aug. 21. I read with interest the mentioning a sinking feeling in a residential area. Well, this has been going on for some time at another area of Marine Drive. For at the past five years, half of the sidewalk of the western end on the 14900-block of Marine Drive has gradually sunken. A line of different heights has formed starting under the Boathouse restaurant patio up to near Jan’s On The Beach. The Boathouse restaurant rebuilt their sidewalk patio a few years ago. Other restaurants have readjusted theirs as the land continued to sink. Tony Roy, White Rock

White Rock’s Vision Fair – held in May – helped launch the city’s ongoing review of its Official Community Plan.
City leaders won’t stick to plan Editor: Language is important, regarding attacks being made on the City of White Rock’s Official Community Plan. It seems most attacks on OCPs occur because ‘development’ is accepted as necessarily good and we shouldn’t stand in the way of ‘development’ as understood by developers. Further pressure to change OCPs has, at its very base, promotion of the idea that for some reason, every civil jurisdiction in Metro Vancouver should prepare for an influx of new residents. Numbers have been apportioned by someone to each jurisdiction – by whom? Who decided what White Rock’s portion should be? Peace Arch News carried an article quoting a White Rock developer: “That leaves only a few places that could accommodate future housing growth that’s needed to sustain a city” (Tower eyed west of the town centre, Aug. 7). Such a statement begs the question: “Is our beautiful city as it is today unsustainable?” If so, I would like to hear from our council, because I thought we were in fine financial condition. If not, I would like to see data as to just how current developments already elbowed in, and those that are clamoring for approval, will make our city ‘sustainable’. I share the concerns expressed in a letter to the editor from Audrey Belotte (Planning a better city, Aug. 7 letters) and wish PAN had carried a photo of the large number of huge trees cut down to make someone’s development possible on Vidal Street. A photo would have been better than several thousands of words. Merrill Muttart, White Rock Q I attended the public information meeting on Aug. 11 hosted by Texor Homes Inc., which provided details about the 15-storey, 134-unit residential development proposed for the corner of North Bluff Road and Nichol Road, (Discontent grows over highrise proposal, Aug. 14). There appeared to be a fairly large turnout despite the fact it was scheduled in the peak holiday travel time and over the dinner hour. I suspect there would have been larger number had it been held in September and hours that would allow commuters a chance to attend. Mayor Wayne Baldwin and his council say they want input from citizens on this and numerous other applications so that they can make an informed decision on whether they should consider changes in zoning and to the OCP to allow the developments to go through. Why, then, did only Couns. David Chesney and Helen Fathers attend to hear the opinions of their constituents? Where was the mayor and Couns. Megan Knight, Bill Lawrence, Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair? Could they in fact be on holidays and not able to attend in the peak of the holiday season? I have sent invitations to the mayor and council to attend the farmers market on Sundays to talk and mingle with their citizens and hear what their thoughts are on making changes to the OCP. Except for Chesney and Fathers, I have not even had the courtesy of a reply. Since White Rock council voted to scrap its question period, I feel the council needs to make themselves more available to hear what their residents are wanting. How can our voices be heard? Letter and emails are usually not answered. I urge the citizens of White Rock to attend as many of the council meetings as possible. Hopefully, our presence will convince the council that they need to start listening to the constituents. Vickie Darts, White Rock
Q I read with great sadness that many White Rock citizens still believe that the Official Community Plan is a guiding force that city council must follow. The majority vote on council merely uses this OCP as a strategy of distraction, to keep your eye off the ball, off their actions, an old magician strategy. The OCP is meant to be a legally binding document indicating the community’s shaping of development – its expectations wants, desires, restrictions and limitations. Unfortunately for us, just look at the frequency of rezonings used to get around the OCP that the mayor and slate majority agrees to and the latitude given to destructors – a.k.a. developers – given the ultimate prize of the CD ‘comprehensive development’ zoning, which has no guidelines to limit or restrict them. Thus, even though the OCP states that no building on Marine Drive can exceed 37 feet in height, the destructors, given the lottery “CD” zoning, build up to 51 feet. So much for respecting the residents behind them. No more ocean view, no more valued property. The same applies to all these highrise monsters being rezoned at will, one after another. Goodbye White Rock, hello everywhere else destructors get their hands on. The way the OCP is, and has been, abused, it is just a vague, mysterious mirage, not the legally binding document it was meant to be and its residents want. So stop focusing on the OCP. It is not going to be followed. Instead, make council accountable for their actions and distractions. You can go to their meetings and can request five minutes to address council on any issue. David Bradshaw, White Rock
Legally obligated to grow It would be useful for the people of White Rock to understand the connection between the Regional Growth Strategy and the Official Community Plan (OCP). To begin with, White Rock is a member of Metro Vancouver (MV) and, as such, is required by provincial law to operate within the restrictions of the approved Regional Growth Strategy (RGS). One aspect of the RGS is that each municipality must take its share of the forecast growth within the region. It is forecast that there will be one million more people in MV by 2041. White Rock’s share of that is about 7,000. With our present demographic, that will require approximately 4,000 new dwelling units. The RGS requirements were approved by a previous council in March 2011 and incorporated into the RGS when it was approved by the Metro Board in July 2011. This is the law and we must follow it, and the numbers must be incorporated into the amended OCP. This growth will be gradual over the next quarter century. White Rock has the lowest growth rate in the region. This is unlikely to change. It will be up to council, with the advice of staff and input of our citizens, to determine how best to accommodate the number of housing units required within the allowable area. The final decision will have to include the consideration of many factors, including usage, density, building height, lot coverage/green space, view blockage, tree retention, transportation corridors and infrastructure requirements. In the end, some tough choices will have to be made for the overall good of the community. Mayor Wayne Baldwin, White Rock

RCMP arrest 3 after shots fired Three men are in custody after a shooting in Newton on the weekend. Just after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, RCMP received a call of shots fired between two vehicles in the 12800block of 74 Avenue, and at 72 Avenue at 130 Street. Witnesses described the vehicles involved as a black Ford Mustang and a silver Honda Civic. Soon after arrival, police found the Mustang and arrested the three occupants. Police also seized the
vehicle, which appeared to have a bullet hole in it. Witnesses say that just prior to the gun violence, there had been a verbal altercation between the occupants of these vehicles. Police do not believe the shootings are part of a series of recent gun incidents between two rival drug groups.

Cora is a founding member of the city’s Culture Development Advisory Committee. This is the eighth annual presentation of Surrey Civic Treasure awards. All of the previous recipients have been instrumental contributors to the life and depth of the city. No city is complete unless it has a vibrant arts, cultural and social community. It also needs to have a deep understanding of its heritage and where it has come from. The award honours individuals who have achieved excellence in the production of the arts and/or made significant contributions to the development of arts and heritage in Surrey and beyond. Each of the recipients “exemplify the true spirit of a Civic Treasure,” said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the public art advisory committee. Each of the recipients has contributed an enormous amount of time and energy to making Surrey a more vibrant place, particularly in arts, culture and heritage. * This recognition is welldeserved.

Mark Figueira one of three Lower Mainland educators to interview Holocaust survivors
Teacher gets intense lesson in history Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter
Erin Cebula, Global BC
eflecting on 20 intense days in Israel last month, Earl Marriott history teacher Mark Figueira says he’s still confounded by the story of Frieda Kleuger. “It was the most unbelievable story I heard the whole time I was there,” Figueira said of the Holocaust survivor. “You’re unable to explain why she didn’t die.” Kleuger was one of eight survivors interviewed by Figueira last month while attending the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. She told him how she had come from the Warsaw ghetto and was in a gas chamber – knowing she was minutes from extermination – when ❝It’s intellectually a siren sounded. draining – trying For reasons she, to understand decades later, still and make sense can’t explain, the siren triggered Kleuger and of it.❞ the other prisoners’ Mark Figueira release. After time in two history teacher other concentration camps – and the systematic killing by the Nazis of an estimated six million Jews during the Second World War – liberation for Kleuger and other survivors came on April 15, 1945. It’s a story Figueira, who heads EMS’ history department, is sure to tell this school year, as he moves forward on a commitment to help his students gain a deeper and more thoughtful understanding of that part of the world’s history. “For me, it is important to remember and tell the stories of the victims,” he said. Figueira, 43, was one of three Vancouverarea teachers – and 14 Canadians in all – selected to attend the Educators’ Seminar, on one of a “handful” of annual scholarships that are funded by local donors. Burnaby elementary teacher Eyal Daniel and Seaquam Secondary’s Stephanie Henderson were also selected. According to Adara Goldberg, education director at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, the scholarship program is an initiative of the Toronto-based Canadian Society for Yad Vashem, aimed at supporting local teachers who “demonstrate a deep-rooted commitment” to increasing their own knowledge of the Holocaust and imparting that. Teaching about the

their classrooms.” More and more, as the “eye-witness generation” shrinks, it will be up to educators to get the story across, she said. She encouraged any teacher who is looking for guidance or tools to help them broach the topic in their classrooms to visit www.vhec.org While VHEC recognized Figueira’s commitment to teaching about the Holocaust and its lessons in June, with the 2015 Kron Sigal Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education, Figueira said his approach to the subject wasn’t always so focused.
In short, he learned about the Holocaust because he had to teach it, he said, and would touch on the sensitive subject with his Grade 11 and 12 students for perhaps an hour in total. Now, he’s wondering how he’ll be able to spend anything less than “a couple weeks” on the topic. He described the 20 days he spent in Jerusalem as “extremely draining.” “It’s intellectually draining – trying to understand and make sense of it,” Figueira said.

Mark Figueira reflects on his recent trip to Israel.
Survivors positive › from page 11 interviews, Figueira visited Oskar Schindler’s grave and the Path of the Righteous Gentile – where those known to have saved Jews are recognized – and met Hannah Pick, the childhood best friend of Anne Frank, the youth whose diary of her time in hiding until her death at age 15 remains one of the most powerful memoirs of the Holocaust. Pick “tells an amazing story of her time with Anne Frank,” Figueira said. Figueira said he was repeatedly caught offguard by the positivity
imbued by all of the survivors he met. “They remember what went on, but there is much less hate in them than one might think,” he said. “Their victory is in their children and grandchildren prospering.” Still processing how to integrate the experience into his classroom, Figueira said the mantra is ‘safely in, safely out.’ “It means be cautious with how you teach such a subject,” he said. “Bring young people into it gradually, safely… and bring them out safely as well. “Tell the story so it’s not forgotten.”

Surrey cyclist has a lot riding on annual fundraiser
Fulfilling a promise to a friend Evan Seal Black Press
When Stacey Jeffares climbs on his bike this weekend, he will not only be looking forward to the challenge ahead of him, but also looking back on those who have supported him and his family through an extremely tough journey. Jeffares, 42, will take part in the annual Ride to Conquer Cancer, presented by Silver Wheaton and benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation. The two-day, 300-kilometre ride, starts in Cloverdale Saturday morning and finishes in Redmond, Washington Sunday afternoon. Riders are required to raise a minimum of $2,500 to participate, which Jeffares has surpassed – now closing in on $4,000. But his motivation goes beyond the monetary commitment. In 2008, Jeffares received the news that no parent is ever prepared to hear. His son Nicholas, then 3, had been diagnosed with leukemia. Following his son’s treatment, a friend, Al Martin, suggested he take part in the Ride to
Evan Seal photo
Stacey Jeffares will take part in Ride to Conquer Cancer, which kicks off Saturday morning. Conquer Cancer as a way to raise money for cancer research. Jeffares took the suggestion to heart, buying a bike and hitting the road. A few days later he got a call from Martin asking him to come by his home in Guildford, explaining he had something to show him. “When I arrived at his house, he was standing there with his own new bike,” said Jeffares. “And he told me ‘let’s go, I’m going to ride too’.” During training, there were many times that Jeffares didn’t want to ride his bike, but Martin, 61, would call up and “push me out there.”
“At the time, not only was my son son diagnosed with cancer, but my dad had recently passed away,” said Jeffares. Al became like an extra dad to me.” That year, despite extensive training, neither rider was able to complete the ride, with Martin making it to the halfway point and Jeffares to only a few miles from the finish line, before his legs could push him no further. Following the ride, the two men took took some time off from cycling but made a commitment to eventually complete the ride together. In 2012, Nicholas, now
10, was deemed cancer free. So in 2014, the two friends decided to try the ride again. However in June of that year, Martin was himself diagnosed with cancer. Despite his diagnosis, he planned to accompany Jeffares in a support vehicle. Unfortunately, Martin passed away only three months later. So this Saturday, as he makes his second attempt to finish the ride, Jeffares will be
thinking about his friend, his son and all those who have battled the disease. For Jeffares, raising money for cancer research has always been a given, but his motivation is now much deeper. “For me, it’s about setting goals, whether it’s beating cancer or whatever your personal goals are,” he said. “My main goal this year was to cross the finish line and fulfill a promise to a friend.”

The letter says his new wife, now widow, is still alive and that this amn never made a will. I have now found my adoption papers. What do I do?
A
nswer: Send a copy of your adoption papers to the lawyer together with a photocopy of your driver’s licence and another government ID. If the facts turn out to be what you state, his widow will be entitled to the Àrst $150,000 of the estate plus one-half of the rest. You will get the rest, although some may be delayed because there are provisions which allow the widow to stay in the family home. NEW CLIENTS WELCOME

There are few purchases more personal to us than jewellery.
FOR OVER 40 YEARS
From pieces that mark key events in our lives to pieces that simply reflect our personality and esthetic values, jewellery is an expression of who we are and what is important to us. And that’s why visitors to International Gems – while they may start as customers – are likely to become long-term clients and friends. They can see the expertise and dedication that more than four decades of experience in the diamond and fine jewellery industry has brought to this family business.
Custom Designs CREATING
Maureen Kiselbach
That’s evident in the continuing commitment to excellence of founder and owner Keith Davis and his sons Dana and Brent. While Keith and Brent continue the tradition in the Kelowna store, designer Dana and sales associates Maureen Kiselbach and Lisa Babbini complete the team in White Rock and South Surrey. Together they continue to build on the company’s enviable reputation for custom design and excellence in craftsmanship. And they’re genuinely thrilled in doing work that meets, and exceeds, customers’ expectations – whether it’s bringing new life and wearability to an heirloom or an older item of sentimental significance, or in creating a brand new piece of jewellery.
Bring us your old jewellery, gold & stones and we'll design something unique and exciting, especially for you.
SAVE 25%!
WHEN YOU BRING IN THIS AD
Long-term clients know they can rely on the kind of design expertise that Dana brings to the table and have confidence that he will create something they’ll love and cherish. As well as its own custom design work International Gems carries other highend brands as well as the finest GIA and AGS-certified cut diamonds, and deals in both Canadian diamonds and stones from around the world. But custom design is what makes International Gems stand out from other jewellers – the ability to reflect a customer’s wishes through a thorough consultative process that leads to a special piece that is truly one-of-a-kind.

When your printer ink is running low, do you hightail it to the nearest big box office supply store and then cringe every time you pay the bill? If so, you should check out your local Cartridge World, at #12-3189 King George Boulevard.  For about half of what it costs to buy new, Cartridge World – the world’s fastest growing ink refilling retailer – can refill or remanufacture 95 per cent of inkjet and laser toner cartridges, using top-quality, brand-specific ink and toners. James and Mike Operating more than 1,400 locations in 50 countries, Cartridge World keeps money IN your pocket and hundreds of millions of empty printer cartridges OUT of landfills every year. This proactive solution to waste reduction is a win-win for customers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is there a risk to using a refilled cartridge? Not at all! There should be no difference in the print quality after the cartridge is refilled. Our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee is a sign of our confidence and removes any risk from you trying our services. Q: How much money will I save by refilling? Your savings may vary depending on your printer. As a rule of thumb, you can expect to save up to 50 per cent on refills at Cartridge World, compared to the cost of a brand new cartridge. In fact, Peninsula businesses and residents are saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every year by making the switch. In addition to savings, Cartridge World also offers their customers the ability to make a choice regarding waste reduction and the environment.  Q: Will using refilled cartridges void the printer manufacturer’s warranty? No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits the printer manufacturer from voiding the warranty. Printer manufacturers will almost always advise you against refilling because they want you to keep buying their expensive replacement cartridges and accessories. You can feel confident that cartridges sold, refilled or remanufactured by Cartridge World will meet or exceed your expectations. Our own warranty also extends to your printer on any valid claim! Q: Is cartridge refilling and remanufacturing the only service Cartridge World provides? No. Cartridge World is a one-stop shop! In addition to a printer/fax/copier repair service, we stock a full selection of new and compatible ink and laser cartridges, copier toners, fax and postage meter supplies, specialty paper and labels.  For more information, please visit www.cartridgeworld.ca

PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENT SCANNING & ARCHIVING No more need for filing cabinets and boxes on shelves.
Gabriel Cotolan
It saves time, money and the environment, says sales manager Gabriel Cotolan. “With a PDF file, you can have them for 100 years, 200 years. That file, once you save it digitally, you can have it forever,” Cotolan says.
Faster and easy access to the data from anywhere. Safety and confidentiality of your documents.
Maystar services include document preparation, scanning, indexing, exporting and shredding – everything you need to go paperless, at home or at the office. The process eliminates the need to rummage through box after box of paperwork looking for important documents, creating more time for the task at hand, Cotolan says. “We take your responsibilities so you can focus on your goals.” It is also secure and confidential, as files are removed from Maystar’s computer as soon as the job is ready and the client is fully satisfied. Cotolan said the system is particularly useful now that key information is no longer required to be kept in paper files. In most cases, a digital file meets the need, and when a hard copy is necessary, the PDF can simply be printed. And, it’s affordable. For a no-obligation quote, call 778-945-2059 or visit maystartech.com and fill out an estimation form. You’ll have a response within 24 hours.

With us, you don’t have to worry about something being the wrong size or measurements, we have the best warranties in the business, you pick what you want and get what you ask for.� Working with customers’ in their own homes or businesses also means it’s easier for Budget Blinds’ consultants to help them find just the look they want – seeing the actual space and existing decor, there’s no guesswork or miscommunication. “Everything is custom-made and installed,� Tara says. “It’s their own vision we are trying to help them achieve.� Budget Blinds has been offering their services in this area for more than 8 years – and the business is consistently growing, said Tara. “We’ve now added a fulltime office manager, another Style Consultant and a part-time installer – and we’re excited to be heading into our busiest season.� Extra help is welcome and appreciated she says, as she and David manage the needs of their growing business along with raising four daughters all under the age of 10. “Life is always a balancing act for us- never boring for sure�said Tara.

Play It Again Sports
playitagainsportssouthsurrey.com
If you’re looking to buy or sell quality used sports equipment, there’s no better place to “get in the game” than at Play It Again Sports in South Surrey. Locally owned and operated by two families who are so familiar with the high cost of supplying their combined 5 kids with a variety of sports gear, Stu and Meg Hunter and Mike and Stephanie Schmidt felt this community was in need of a store that would provide growing families the opportunity to be outfitted in quality sporting equipment for less. Most days, Stu will greet you in the store; ready Stu Hunter to help you find your next gear or trade in your quality used equipment. Brand-new sports equipment can be expensive, but Play It Again Sports – now open in South Surrey’s Peninsula Village – gives customers the chance to pick up good-condition, gently-used equipment at just a fraction of the price of new gear. No matter what sport or activity you play, they have you covered. Their impressive stock includes fitness gear – from weight sets and treadmills to elliptical trainers and exercise bikes – skis and snowboards, golf, lacrosse, baseball and softball gear plus an extensive selection of hockey and soccer equipment. If you’re not in the market for new sports equipment, but rather have a basement or garage cluttered with gear, Play it Again Sports can help you there, too. Their philosophy is “Reuse. Recycle. Replay” and they buy and sell used sports equipment every day. They’re the only quality second-hand store in the area where you can get top dollar for your used, but still in great condition, gear. And if you’re switching sports, or simply in need of something different, you can trade your old gear for something new. In addition to pre-owned merchandise, Play It Again Sports also has a large selection of new equipment in stock, including all the top brands. Whether you’re in the market for new or used equipment – or looking to get rid of some old gear – Play It Again Sports is the place to go. Visit them at Peninsula Village (15355 24 Ave.) or online at www.playitagainsportssouthsurrey.com

Confetti Party Rentals
confettipartyrentals.com
Confetti Party & Tent Rentals is the place to go for all your special-occasion needs, whether you’re planning a garden wedding, a corporate event or a backyard barbecue. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in South Surrey, Confetti prides itself on tailoring its products and services to meet the needs of the local community, offering 28 categories of items to make every occasion perfect. Owner Jason Robinson describes living and working in his community as “a dream come true,” and the people he meets as the most rewarding part of it all. With the opening last month of a second Confetti location, at 2860 Cruickshank St. in Abbotsford, the family-owned business now offers its expertise from Tsawwassen to Hope, south of the Fraser. “We’re here to serve the Fraser Valley,” Robinson says. “It’s about being local.” That commitment also extends to supporting other local businesses. “We recognize that it’s the local economy that drives our business,” Robinson says. “We source local service providers, support local charities and invest our advertising dollars in community groups.” Getting involved in the community is an important part of operating on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, Robinson says. Groups supported by Confetti over the years have included local schools and KidSport, a not-for-profit that provides financial assistance to kids who might otherwise miss out on playing sports. For the past four years, Confetti has sponsored the annual Black Tails & Boots Gala, a fundraiser for Semiahmoo Animal League Inc. (SALI), a South Surreybased organization which works with vulnerable children and rescued farm animals to try and break the cycle of violence through fostering empathy. “It’s a real community event, it’s right here and in our backyard,” Robinson says. “Those are the kind of things we like to get involved in.” Confetti’s spacious South Surrey showroom and warehouse offers a hundreds of party items to choose from, from tables and tents to glassware and linens. Check it out at 18-3033 King George Blvd., or online at confettipartyrentals.com

SK Automarket
Friday, August 28, 2015 Peace Arch News
SHOP LOCAL CONTEST
automarketsales.com
The SK Automarket is a family-owned business since 1983. The two brothers, Ken and Steve Shalinsky, originally started the business in Montreal as The Sunday Auto Market (Marche D’auto Dimanche) – a car-swap concept whereby vehicle owners can rent space on a Sunday and buyers can come, view, negotiate and buy directly from the seller. Although the operation itself was moderately successful, what eventually turned out to be an unexpected boon was the sellers who did not sell by the end of the day were happy to sell their vehicle to Ken Steve and Ken and Steve. This subsequently led to the need for a retail dealership. After successfully running the Automarket (Marche d’Auto) in Montreal, younger brother Kenny moved to Vancouver and opened what is now called SK Automarket in 1993. Several years later, Steve moved to South Surrey along with his family, then came the parents on both sides, other siblings and everyone. Now – 22 years later with two dealerships in South Surrey and Langley under their belt – the business has a wholesale division as well as an export division, and the latest addition to the organization, Good People Credit Co. and Car Loans To Go .Ca, a finance arm for people with challenged credit, specializing in in-house financing and leasing for good people currently facing financial troubles who need a vehicle for work, school and life. The success of the Automarket, according to Steve, is the non-conventional way they approach selling used vehicles. “By offering full disclosure, no sales pressure and an extensive attitude towards helping our customers with goodwill repairs when things don’t go according to plan, we like to think we’re helping customers buy a vehicle rather than us selling them a vehicle,” Kenny said. “Because we live and work in the same small community, when I see a client in the grocery store or a restaurant, I want to feel good about saying hello and asking about their vehicle rather than turn around and walk the other way.” Anyone looking for a really good quality pre-owned vehicle from a dealership that prides itself on taking care of its clients and being a substantial part of its community, you would be doing yourself an injustice by not at least visiting South Surrey and Langley’s Dealership of YES.

Health Express
healthexpressinc.com
Health Express is a health store like no other. Located in the heart of White Rock since 2000, Health Express covers all aspects of nutrition and wellness – from vitamins and supplements to protein powders and clothing that helps increase blood circulation and lower muscle fatigue. Therapeutic crystals and salt lamps round off the ever-expanding supply of natural supplements. Owners Rick and Wendy Falls, who took over the business last October, pride themselves on offering locally-sourced products and tailoring the store to meet their customers’ needs. Wendy and Rick Falls The personal touch is particularly important, says Wendy.We try our best to offer individual attention and make our customers feel welcome so that they can find the product or information they’re looking for. Health Express is a hub of healing and they want to offer a warm, welcoming environment for their customers. “We want them to feel comfortable and feel like it’s a good experience coming here,” Rick says. “We want the experience to be such that they tell their friends to come.” For Wendy, owning the business is an evolution of her career in the health industry. For Rick, the adventure is a move from a plumbing career that kept him on the road. Describing the store as “ever-changing,” Wendy and Rick say they plan to offer more educational sessions on various topics, following positive response to one held in June. “Whether it’s about sleep or anxiety or menopause, we’re hoping to answer all the questions people have,” Wendy says. FIRMA energywear – embedded with biocrystals – is among the unique items you’ll find at Health Express, and natural and organic cosmetics and skincare will soon be on the shelves. Biofeedback is also offered at Health Express. Conducted by team member Valerie Mrakuzic, the service helps customers pinpoint their health needs more precisely, and not waste money on products that won’t provide a sound benefit. “It enables our customers to focus in on what’s going on right at that moment,” Wendy said. “This helps give them a clearer picture of what they actually need.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
South Surrey author publishes business lessons taken from the African veld
What would the animals do? Lion Limited was failing badly in its core purpose of sustaining life. What would the pride have to do to ensure their survival in this changed and much more hostile environment? They finally realized that when their survival was at stake, a new strategy needed to be developed and implemented. They had to change. Alternative prey had to be found.
Boaz Joseph
Civil engineer and business consultant Ivan Scott has taken insight from the animal world to teach lessons in business. In July, he published a book called Survive or Die: Business Transformation Lessons Given by the Animal Kingdom
– Excerpt from Survive or Die: Business Transformation Lessons Given by the Animal Kingdom
Boaz Joseph photo
Black Press
About a decade ago, Ivan Scott was the vice-president of Lafarge Concrete in B.C. Although the civil engineer and former dam- and bridge-builder was a leader in a profitable worldwide company, there was no shortage of challenges, and he had to be careful to keep the company ahead of its competition. After years of thought about the subject, Scott, now 62 and a business consultant Scott has self-published Survive or Die: based in South Surrey, recalls having long Business Transformation Lessons Given by talks about strategies with his Western the Animal Kingdom. Canada boss at the time. He describes it as a business The discussions about ❝We can do our textbook, but with the quirk prices, competitors and hunting at Safeway.❞ of having the “it’s a jungle out market share sometimes there” phrase taken to a new took odd turns. Quirky Ivan Scott level. questions would pop up: The lessons about survival What would lions do at this strategies come from the viewpoint of a stage? How about water buffalo? several large mammals, each given a chapter. “We would sit there for hours and talk As an anthropomorphic narrative, about it.” the animal communities are moulded By coincidence, both Scott and his boss as businesses: Lion Limited, Elephant were South Africans. and they linked the Enterprises, Cheetah Corporation, Baboon problems in business with the business of survival on the veld – the rolling scrublands Brokerage. Each species has its own challenges, of southern Africa. whether it’s predator or prey. “They discuss things among themselves (about) how they can ensure their survival,” Scott explains, adding that in the wild, animals also communicate with each other. As in the human business ecosystem, they subscribe to SWOT analysis – evaluating
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Mistakes are made. Losses occur. Lessons are (sometimes) learned. Scott says the book features basic, universal business lessons, not the flavour-ofthe-month strategies of other business books. There’s a recurring element of change, with humanity a major factor in the gradual decline of wildlife populations in the last 100 years. He says that climate change is one factor, but there’s no need for hunting nowadays, either in Africa or Canada. i see page 34

Survival of the prepared Boulevard trees need your help to get water during hot and dry times. If your boulevard tree is less than 15 feet tall (that’s about twice the height of your front door) please water it regularly.
During Stage 3 Water Restrictions you are permitted to water boulevard trees with hand-held, spring-loaded shut-off nozzles. Water twice a week for 15 minutes with a slow stream of water (that’s about 20 litres of water) to ensure it soaks into the ground.
i from page 33 “We can do our hunting at Safeway,” he says. About two days after Scott first published his book in late July, the Internet was awash in revulsion to the news of the death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe at the hands of a trophy hunter. The last two chapters in Scott’s Survive or Die involve a trophy hunter who arrives in the bush with a trio of trophy targets: A lion, elephant and water buffalo. The animals are seemingly no
match for a man on the hunt. “Any idiot with a rifle can kill something,” interjects Scott, who doesn’t hide his contempt for the real-life hunter. But the author says it’s no spoiler to divulge that the hunter in Survive or Die, who hasn’t planned his strategy properly before setting off to hunt, gets what’s coming to him in the end. He didn’t read the book. Survive or Die: Business Transformation Lessons Given by the Animal Kingdom by Ivan Scott is available on amazon.ca

Tribute show features ‘amazing talent’

Music of Joel & John Alex Browne Arts Reporter
You’re going to have to move fast if you want to get tickets to White Rock Rotary Club’s latest musical presentation at Coast Capital Playhouse. Mooncoin Productions’ The Piano Man (Sept. 2, 8 p.m.) – a charity tribute to the music of Billy Joel and Elton John, featuring the talents of Ryan Langevin – looks as though it’s well on its way to duplicating the success of the club’s presentation of ABRA Cadabra, which sold out the theatre in February. Which isn’t that surprising – it’s also a creation of the people behind that salute to the music of ABBA. In fact, as club president Richard Stott said, it was a preview during the previous show that sold members on The Piano Man. “We got a taste of it then. Part way during that show, they took Langevin

out of the band and featured him for one number – he’s an amazing talent on keyboard.” “They said, ‘by the way - we have a whole show built around him,’” co-organizer Mark Hambrook said, noting audience reaction more-orless clinched the deal then and there. The demographics of the Semiahmoo Peninsula make the show a natural, Stott said. “With the age of the community, everybody thinks they grew up on this stuff,” he said. Money raised through the show will go to club projects throughout the community, which could include equipment for Peace Arch Hospital, Rotary scholarships and an ongoing food program at Jessie Lee Elementary. Tickets for the event ($40) are available directly by calling Hambrook (604-671-7498) or Raj Rajagopal (604-349-7818).

Brad McGowan to play for South Carolina this fall
Former Eagle makes jump to pro ranks Gary Ahuja

rad McGowan earned both a major (business management) and a minor (criminology) during his four years at university, so doing his homework is something he is accustomed to. Therefore, it should come as little surprise that when it came time to narrow down his postuniversity hockey pursuits after graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology this past spring, the former Surrey Eagles sniper once again did his research. And what the 25-year-old from Langley came up with was that the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL were the best place for him to begin his pro career. The Road Warriors play out of Greenville, S.C. and the ECHL is one level below the American Hockey League, which itself is one rung below the National Hockey League. There were several suitors for McGowan after his collegiate season ended in April, but a wrist injury prevented him from practising during the season – he still played games – so McGowan decided to wait on his decision. “There were a lot of things that went into (the decision), like which teams get a lot of guys called up to the next level, if you can get a tryout before camp with an AHL team,” he explained.

All-Stars head home winless
Though they were determined to leave Williamsport with a win this week, the White Rock All-Stars lost their consolation game Tuesday at the Little League World Series. Facing off against the Midwest, White Rock held their opponents scoreless through the first two innings, but at the top of the fifth, the American squad, hailing from Webb City, Mo., took charge with five runs. Canada chipped away at the gap, tallying four runs through the first five innings, but nine runs by the Midwest in the sixth proved too much for White Rock. Tuesday’s loss was the third of the World Series for White Rock; the team lost a hardfought opening game to Mexico 1-0, followed by a 16-4 loss to AsiaPacific the next day.

Surrey’s Eric Basran fights on international stage
Boxer battles world’s best Evan Seal Black Press
Boxer Eric Basran recently returned from an international tournament riding an emotional roller-coaster of success and heartbreak. Basran, 16, was competing at the 15th-Annual Ringside World Championships in Kansas City, Mo., a tournament that attracts boxers from around the world. This year’s event, held from Aug. 3-8, featured 1,900 fighters from eight to 40, from beginners to experienced. Although Basran is only 16, he fought in the 17- to 18-yearold, 114-pound (52 kg) Open category – the highest calibre for his age group. Basran has only been boxing for two years and due to limited opponents locally and a lack of training partners, had only eight previous fights prior to the Kansas tournament. “He has very limited experience,” said coach Jerry Veerasammy. “And at this event there are boxers from around the world with 100 or more bouts.” In the first match of the 10-fighter division, Basran defeated Las Vegas champion Alejandro Dominguez to advance to the second round. He then faced Thomas Blumenfeld,

Surrey boxer Eric Basran, 16, and his coach, Jerry Veerasammy. the current Canadian Champion and World Medalist, a fighter Basran had lost to at the National Championships earlier this year. In a “razorthin” decision, Basran beat Blumenfeld in the final round. But his fortune turned the following day, when he was hit by a bout of food poisoning. Tournament doctors said he could not compete in the semifinals and his opponent was given a “walk-over” win, ending the tournament for Basran. B E S T
While disappointing, longtime coach Veerasammy remains confident in the young boxer’s bright future. “He has tremendous long reach, good boxing eyes and an innate sense of range and he hits like a mule,” he said. “He’s gifted and a very hard worker... it’s all up to him how far he goes.” Basran is now focusing on the Northern Alberta Gold Glove Championships in Edmonton on Oct. 3.

OBITUARIES
Richard Chapman Weldon IV 1927 – 2015
So long everyone, it's been great knowing you all. Just a few weeks ago I had a little breathing problem and it slowed me down on the tennis court – turned out to be pneumonia, an opponent I couldn't defeat. Please don’t cry for me; I was ready. There wasn’t anything I still wanted to do. I feel very lucky for that. I lived a very fortunate life. I was born in Vancouver to Richard Chapman III and Gertrude Weldon (née Stainton) and had one sibling, sister Margaret (later Bryenton). I graduated from the University of British Columbia and spent most of my adult life owning and operating several businesses. This gave me the freedom to enjoy the important things in life. Most of my career was centered in the roofing industry where I started in sales and quality control, moved on to contracting, owned a roofing and sheet metal company, and retired as an inspector/consultant. I gained much satisfaction volunteering with the Coast Guard as an auxiliary, and served as the search and rescue coordinator in Crescent Beach. But I prefer to be remembered for my family life. Together, we enjoyed many activities I never tired of. We would play tennis, ski, sail, vacation in the Cariboo, Maui or on a cruise, or simply visit together with good conversation, food, drinks and laughter. My dear wife Shirley passed away three years ago from Alzheimer’s and caring for her in her final years taught me many things. It taught me the best thing you can do in life is to be with, and care for, loved ones. It taught me how to love all over again. It reminded me of our vows 58 years previously – ’til death do us part. I am survived by my sons Richard Chapman V (Avril) and Gordon Calhoun (Hanh) who were all by my side to the end; grandchildren Heather, Derek (Ayako); and great grandchildren Sarah, Sean and Ryan. I wish to thank the doctors, nurses and other staff at Peace Arch Hospital for making my final week comfortable and to thank all those who came to visit me near the end. It was really comforting to know how much you cared. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Dying With Dignity, the Alzheimer’s Society, or your favourite charity. We’ll both feel good about that.

OBITUARIES
Owen Sallenback
It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of their beloved husband, dad, brother and papa, Owen Sallenback on August 22, 2015. Owen passed away in his Canim Lake home with his wife Valerie and his family by his side after a long battle with prostate cancer. Although his time was cut short, Owen had a full life. He was born on March 6th, 1941 and his family moved to Ocean Park in 1955 and it is there at Camp Alexandra where he met his wife of 50 years, Valerie. They raised their family in the area while he dedicated a career to the Vancouver Fire Department. After building their dream home with their boys, they retired to Canim Lake in 1995 where they spent their wonderful retirement years. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family and friends and sharing great stories and laughs. He will truly be missed. Everyone that knows him will remember him for his strong work ethic, his innate kindness, his vicious sense of humour and the amazing contrast between his strength and sensitivity. He was an avid outdoorsman who spent a lot of time fishing and snowmobiling with friends and family and spent many hours in the gardens with his wife. He will not only be missed by his family, but the whole community who knew him. He was a selfless man who has left a legacy of honorability and integrity – a humble man who had the most generous heart and a fierce love for his family. Owen is survived by his wife Valerie; his four boys Warren, Ian (Karrie), Jason and Kevin (Leanne); sisters, Carol, Bev, Sandy (Johnny-Cry), Wendy (Karl) and Pauline; and his two grandchildren Isabella and Scarlett. He also had many nieces and nephews that he loved very much. He was a wonderful role model to all that knew him and we will all miss him forever. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the caring and professional staff at 100 Mile Hospital. There will be no service, but in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the 100 Mile District Hospital at: 100 Mile District General Hospital 555 Cedar Avenue South 100 Mile House, BC V0K 2E0 The family would also like to encourage all that knew Owen to send their favourite stories of Owen and/or condolences to sallenbackstories@gmail.com
