Multi-year term rejected by council

City of White Rock ‘puts BIA on notice’ Alex Browne & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

The City of White Rock wants a Business Improvement Association, but it wants one that can prove it is functioning – and representative of city businesses. That, said Coun. Helen Fathers, is why council decided Tuesday to give first, second and third readings to a bylaw renewing the BIA’s

tax levy for a single year only, rather than the 10 the organization requested. “It puts them on notice,” Fathers said. “It lets them know they’ve got a year to sort it out and get back to business. There’s no denying we do want a BIA, but we want it to be representative of what the business community wants.” The decision was met with imme-

diate criticism from some newly elected BIA directors, including Mauricio Kremer of Keso Cheese. In a letter to council Wednesday, Kremer took them to task for imposing conditions on the future of “such an important organization trying desperately to promote and encourage business in your dying business community.” “This lack of leadership,” he writes,

“and the council’s clear bias to discourage, instead of encouraging business in White Rock, is wasting valuable time, money and resources that need to be directed at business growth and stability, rather than this mixed bag of road blocks, procedure and misdirection.” According to BIABC president Patricia Barnes, a one-year mandate is possible, but not the route

generally taken. Most people go for at least five years, Barnes said. “Generally, it’s hard to move forward with just a one-year mandate,” she told Peace Arch News. Barnes said she doesn’t know of any BIAs in the province currently operating on less than five years. She figured the call for a one-year term is likely the city wanting some see page 4

Metro rethinks South Surrey recycling super-depot Jeff Nagel Black Press

An Eco-Centre planned in Quebec.

Plans to build new Eco-Centres – one-stop drop points for residents to take all recyclables – are on hold after Metro Vancouver directors flagged a series of concerns about the strategy. Metro intends to build the first such EcoCentres in Surrey and Coquitlam, with construction to begin at the still-to-be-determined Surrey site later this year. The idea is to create super-depots where resi-

dents can bring not just the accepted blue-box recyclables, yard waste and kitchen scraps, but also items like used paint, beverage containers and electronic waste that they now have to take to several depots run by industry stewards. Nobody disputes the benefit of improved convenience, but the hefty price tag for Eco-Centres – $8 to $14 million each – has raised questions. For one thing, Burnaby, Maple Ridge and the North Shore already run their own advanced recycling centres, but are funded by local cities

Knife-wielding robber hits video store White Rock RCMP are looking for witnesses to an armed robbery at an uptown video store. Hillcrest Video Store, at 1399 Johnston Rd., was targeted by a lone male at approximately 7:15 p.m. April 2. The robber, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and runners, produced a knife and demanded cash from the lone employee, a woman in her late

30s. She complied and the robber fled in a light metallic-blue, fourdoor sedan. Const. Janelle Shoihet said this week the employee was not injured in the incident, and did the right thing by complying with the robber’s demands. “We would never encourage somebody to try and say no to that,” Shoihet said. “For your own personal safety, is it worth

the couple hundred bucks that’s in your till?” Police are looking for a Caucasian male in connection with the robbery. He is described as approximately 5’10” tall, 25 to 30 years old, with a medium build and short brown hair. Anyone with information is asked to contact Const.

news Catch-22 leaves funding in limbo

Kent Street seniors call for help

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The exclusion of Kent Street Activity Centre renovations in White Rock’s proposed five-year financial plan has some concerned about how the project will receive funding. Clive Griffiths, chair of Kent Street Seniors Society executive committee, requested during a city public meeting last week that the capital project be pursued within the 2010-2014 financial period. The purpose of the meeting was for council to hear public input on the proposed financial plan, which received first and second readings last month. City financial services director Sandra Kurylo said the upgrade and expansion of the 30-yearold seniors centre – which would include renovations of its kitchen and dining room – were put in the plan’s ‘future years’ column because external funding sources hadn’t been identified. “In order to put it in the plan, the city would have needed to identify where the money was coming from,” she said. It’s a catch-22, according to Griffiths, who said funding cannot be sought unless the project is included in the financial plan’s five-year timeframe. “We’re working with the city to try and find some solution for some funding. In order to do that, the city has to recognize the project is viable and it can fall in that timeframe of 2010-2014.” After plans for the project started about six years ago, Griffths said, a previous council agreed to provide more than $200,000 in funding on the condition that the centre receive a provincial gaming grant. Due to technicalities with the application, Griffiths said, the grant was turned down and the conditional agreement with the city “fell by the wayside” three years ago. “We’ve been trying to resurrect the project and we are sort of

meeting. “We are amateurs at this and I’m sure there are sources we don’t even know about.” Griffiths said the renovations would cost around $450,000, which includes $60,000 in upgrades to meet current building codes. He said the centre is looking to fundraise about $100,000 on its own, through special events such as flower and bake sales. Griffiths said the centre needs improvements to its kitchen facilities, where programs such as Fresh

and Lively Luncheons – which caters to shut-ins and people living alone – are run. He said the dining room doubles as a classroom, and with more space, additional classes could be held. Whether the project is included in the financial plan is up to council, Kurylo said, and a report on the issue will be presented before the plan is adopted. The plan is to be brought forward for third reading April 12.

A storm of wind, hail, thunder and lightning triggered power outages across the Peninsula Thursday, with lightning strikes credited for at least three morning outages in White Rock – all of them expected to last several hours. Fewer than 100 customers were affected by the strikes, which knocked out power on Parker Street, Cliff Avenue, Finlay Street and Semiahmoo Avenue. Pockets were also affected in an area between Cliff and Maple, from Buena Vista Avenue north to Semiahmoo. Mother Nature’s weather whack is also credited with contributing to at least one single-vehicle crash Thursday morning. Surrey RCMP were called after the driver of a Ford Explorer headed south on 168 Street lost control near 11 Avenue, coming to rest in the ditch. Const. Peter Neily said the Ford, driven by a Langley man, lost traction on the hail-covered road. Fortunately, he was not injured. Winds that gusted up to 93 km/h at the airport also knocked out power to thousands Thursday morning. According to BC Hydro, the largest power outage on the Peninsula Thursday affected 4,257 customers – including Earl Marriott Secondary and Peace Arch Elementary schools – in an area south of Broome Road, west of Highway 99 and east of Marine Drive. Power was out for those customers from 7:05-8:18 a.m. Another 38 customers lost power from 3:437:54 a.m., after a tree came down on some wires. The area affected stretched from 194 to 200 Streets, between 26 and 30 Avenues. Classes at EMS were initially expected to be delayed by an hour after staff at the 15751 16 Ave. school arrived to find the power out. In the end, however, school started at its normal time. There was no impact to PAE students. Environment Canada expects the coming days to be “a little brighter.”

City decision ‘disappointing at first’ 35% from page 1 reassurance that things are going to start working. “The BIA would have a lot to prove in a year,” she added. White Rock’s BIA, which held its court-ordered election of directors on March 31, has been mired in controversy for more than a year. Until a Supreme Court hearing last month, there were two BIA boards, each claiming to be the official one. Fathers’ original motion Tuesday was for the bylaw to authorize tax collection for five years, with notices for businesses and property owners offering a positive option under section 212 of the Community Charter, meaning 51 per cent of businesses contacted would have to approve for renewal to go ahead. But council was told there would not be enough time to prepare and distribute a positiveoption notice in time to report back by a May 17 deadline. Fathers said that, even though notices this year still provide a negative option under section 213 (in which businesses would have to signify if they were not in favour), she was happy with the one-year decision. Staff has also been asked for a

report examining the implications of both the positive and negative options, and what other municipalities have chosen, said Mayor Catherine Ferguson, who, along with Coun. Grant Meyer, voted against the one-year-only renewal. “There’s a reason why every other BIA uses 213 – it’s really difficult to get people to come forward,” she said. “It’s much easier for people to advise the city they don’t want to be part of it.” Ferguson said that if the other formula was used in civic elections, “there wouldn’t be a city in the province with a council.” Nonetheless, she said, the oneyear renewal would be “an opportunity for getting refocused and spending their energies hopefully without disruption, so that they can get on with what they need to do.” Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson noted a 10-year term would amount to some $3.8 million in levies going into BIA coffers. “That’s a large sum of money,” she said. “We can’t get elected for 10 years. I quite honestly feel that three years is sufficient for the BIA.” She added it was the consensus of council that positive polling of

businesses to support the BIA tax levy would be the best option. “It would establish themselves as directly and absolutely involved in the process, and bring a lot of credibility to them,” she said. Jeff Coroliuc, co-owner of the Angelic Teapot, and one of the newly-elected BIA directors, said council’s decision was “disappointing at first.” “It’s a challenge, but I’m up for a challenge, and I think we all are.” Coroliuc was one of the initiators of the White Rock BIA, and a director for almost five years until he had to resign due to a family illness last August. He said he returned because he believes in the business community. “Last year was a renewal year, and I look at this as another renewal year, a do-over. It’s unfortunate that we have to do it again, given that the membership has voted twice now to support the status quo.” Fathers noted that, under the charter, council’s involvement is only supposed to be voting on the tax-collection bylaw. “(Council) wants to stay arm’s length, but we’ve definitely been brought front-and-centre in this. Both sides felt that we were the authority figure,” she said.

Eco-Centre would serve Peninsula from page 1 detailed goals on how much more waste the Eco-Centres are to divert to recycling. And she’s concerned the effort and money put into Eco-Centres may undermine regular curbside pickup. Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean asked why the regional government should run such a facility at all when a private firm or consortium of industry stewards could likely meet whatever goals Metro sets. Existing recycling depots, affiliated with Encorp Pacific or other industry stewardship organizations, are also raising red flags. Encorp spokesman Malcolm Harvey said Eco-Centres may take recyclables away from existing depots, where contracts are

in place. “Those businesses aren’t going to be very happy,” predicted Recycling Council of B.C. executive director Brock Macdonald. “You can’t just decide you’re going to do something and expect industry is going to jump on board with the plan.” Metro’s waste management committee was to approve the Eco-Centres strategy Wednesday, but instead ordered staff to report back with more information. Committee chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, said he’s confident the wrinkles can be ironed out. “We need to understand the bigger picture of how all of these Eco-Centres or recycling centres can work together,” he said.

The centres are one plank in the proposed new Metro Vancouver solid waste management plan that aims to increase the recycling rate from 55 per cent to 70 per cent. The first Eco-Centre, to be built in Surrey, would be positioned to serve the southern half of the city far from the existing transfer station, likely in either South Surrey or Newton, according to Rob Constanzo, deputy operations manager for Surrey’s engineering department. Garbage could also be dropped off there, but the emphasis would be on recycling. The Surrey Eco-Centre would fulfill a 15-year-old Metro pledge to establish a mini transfer station serving South Surrey.

One-year term an ultimatum to BIA hite Rock council sometimes has a peculiar way of signalling its support for something. Council watchers know that, over the years, what has seemed to be a general agreement that something is a good idea has – in the process of deliberation and debate at the council table – often been whittled down to something that more resembles a sniff of disapproval. This has clearly not always been the goal. Council members have often had the best of intentions, as guardians of the public purse, for asking questions, posing alternatives, or imposing conditions that have proven puzzling, if not arduous, for applicants. Others have sometimes seemed more intent on promoting their image as such guardians when applying even more than due diligence. When the result has sent mixed messages – as in White Rock council’s endorsement this week of the BIA’s tax levy for one year only, to be renewed only in the event of 50-per-centplus-one approval by affected businesses – it has been recognized as a downside of democracy and the system of checks and balances built into civic government. It’s a price of decision by committee. (As someone once sagely observed, the camel is simply a horse designed by a committee.) In the case of the White Rock BIA, such back-handed support from council should be not entirely unexpected. The organization is suffering now for actions of the past. It should not be easily forgotten that, at a time when the fabric of White Rock’s business community was coming unravelled, two factions were spending too much time battling over which one should be called the White Rock BIA. Rights and wrongs of the issue to one side, that struggle sorely tried the patience of many in the community, not the least of whom sit on White Rock council. Neither side of the controversy enlisted much compassion from politicians when they became too shrilly insistent on what council’s actions should be. Council has, in effect, said – as councils will – if you want us to deliberate on this, we will deliberate on it; and the answers we come up with will be our own. Perhaps this is unfair. But the fact remains the decision will enforce that the White Rock BIA has a year to demonstrate whether it truly means business.

Do you read mail-outs sent by politicians?

yes 29% no 71% 181 responding because car/truck drivers making a left turn apparently lose their ability to see motorcycles. In addition to beefing up fines and awareness of motorcycles on the road, a heartening report came out a couple of weeks ago with some ideas going before government to improve rider safety. Due to the high number of motorcycle-related deaths between 2000 and 2007, a death review panel on motorcycle fatalities convened about 18 months ago. In studying the 286 deaths, the panel made some recommendations that intelligent riders should accept as great ideas. These include: • mandatory certification of all motorcycle helmets; • creating a graduated licensing program for new riders; • instituting a zero-tolerance bloodalcohol policy for new riders. The first one strikes a particular chord with me because seeing those riders wearing those useless beanies drives me around the bend. Sure, it’s a free country and we have choice, but when you get injured wearing a novelty helmet, it’s my tax dollars that work to repair your stupid choice. And here’s one idea that didn’t make the list: engine size restrictions based on years of riding experience. First-year rider? Say hello to a 250 cc bike, my friend. Been riding 10 years? Here’s your 1,000 cc super streetbike. Whatever winds up being done — and if you regularly drive and take nothing else from this column — please take this: Look out for motorcycles.

Water should be our right Editor: Re: Canada needs watermanagement strategy, April 2. We are very fortunate to have Peace Arch News columnist Dr. Roy Strang living among us. He is a specialist in environmental science who, along with others, devoted his time in preserving the land which is now Sunnyside Acres. Strang is still an avid preserver of that land. He also volunteers his time to write a weekly column, ‘Enviro Notes,’ because of his concern for Mother Earth. Strang’s latest Peace Arch News contribution brings to our attention the federal government’s need to develop standards to ensure our water, a basic element of life, is safe and secure. He prompts us to demand that water be considered a human right, never a commodity that can be bought or sold. Our MP, Russ Hiebert, welcomes letters. The protection and cleanliness of our water supply is a very worthwhile reason to write. L. Wright, Surrey

District would have no deficit. On the other hand, supporters of education blame the provincial government. They argue it was Victoria that negotiated salaries, clawed back maintenance funding, and is about to add the HST to expenses – fixed costs beyond the control of local politicians. They’re also right to a point. But they don’t mention much of the blame lies with Surrey itself. Mayor Dianne Watts and her “can’t say no” gang at city hall have failed education two ways. While new residential development continues to bring 1,000 people per month to Surrey, not one new school has been funded since 2006. Now 7,500 of Surrey’s 65,000 students attend class in a portable. Adding insult to injury, portables are funded out of Surrey’s operating budget, not capital expenditure. In 2008, Watts’ group couldn’t be bothered to run candidates for school trustee, and even now they don’t make new schools a priority when approving new development. Watts’ council also leaves Surrey short by failing to enforce its own zoning bylaws for house size and secondary suites. So there are far more suites and far more children than even the city knows about.

Let’s not kid ourselves: Whether our mayor was Watts, Doug McCallum, Bob Bose, or anyone before that, the development industry has run city hall. But with Bob Bose, things were a little different. Even though Surrey’s pace of development was at its peak, he threatened to withhold residential building permits until new-school funding was in place. The development industry took notice. They lobbied Victoria for more capital funding to build schools, adding their voices to the district, trustees, teachers, council and other “special interest” groups. Whether it was the Social Credit government or the NDP government, the result was schools were being built as Surrey grew. Rich Weldon, Surrey

U.S. became whipping boy Editor: Re: Outrage over helping poor, April 2 letters. If the letter from R.K. Grace isn’t hate mail, I would like your definition of what is. I would

not care if it contained anything approaching the truth. I have seen identical articles from time to time, apparently for the purpose of keeping the false accusations alive. So let’s set the record straight. The U.S. had perfectly reasonable oil contracts with Iraq, as did many other nations, prior to the war. It had nothing to gain in that area by going to war. Perhaps Grace failed to notice Saddam killed thousands of his own citizens to maintain control, including all men in one city where someone tried to kill him, and some 5,000 Kurds in the north just to try out his ricin, which, by the way, is a weapon of mass destruction. Every country needs a whipping boy. Until Great Britain lost its top spot after the Second World War, anything wrong in the world was attributed to it by all the little tinhorn dictators who “stood up” to the great power. The U.S. reluctantly assumed that position by default after the war – without colonizing anything. Perhaps Grace is thinking of the old U.S.S.R., which had a tendency to grab adjacent territory because it supposedly posed a security threat. Richard Bradley, White Rock

Some breeds need muzzles Editor: Re: Passersby helped us, April 2 letters. I don’t know why there isn’t a law governing the leashing and muzzling of dogs like Rottweilers and pit bulls. My son’s Labrador was attacked by a Rottweiler two weeks ago, and had a four-inch tear on his back that required surgery. The owner of the attack dog refused to go anywhere near it, although he found it repugnant that my son had to kick the dog before it would let go of our Lab. This is a clear indication that breeds like Rottweilers and pit bulls need to be kept on the leash and muzzled, particularly if there are children nearby, as we know all too well from incidents at West Beach. M. Davidson, White Rock

City adds to school shortfall Editor: There are two schools of thought to the under-funding of the Surrey School District. Supporters of the Liberal government say education funding has been increased and “special interest” groups like the school district, trustees and teachers should just quit their whining. They’re right to a point. Funding has been increased. But they don’t mention that, if not for corporate tax breaks, there would be no education shortfall. In fact, if the funding formula from 10 years ago were applied today, Surrey School

The City of Surrey’s Sustainability Charter does little to ensure trees are left in place by developers, writes K. Ross.

Tree bylaws fail to protect habitat Editor: It must be spring, the clear cutting has begun with renewed vigour in Surrey. In spite of the city’s new Sustainability Charter, more rigorous tree bylaws and an updated Environmental Assessment, the wholesale clear cutting of acres of forested land to make way for more housing developments and shopping centres continues. Words straight from the Sustainability Charter: “Surrey values and protects its natural environment through stewardship of its rich tree canopy, and enhancement of its natural areas and biodiversity.” The current developments scarcely reflect these new values. They would appear to be the same old clear-itand-pave-it technique that has been the norm. Birds are creatures of habit, and tend to return to the same areas to nest. If their traditional territories are cleared, obviously they have to look elsewhere, and, with ever-diminishing habitat to choose from, may not be successful. Not all species are as resourceful as the pigeons, crows, starlings and house sparrows that are about all you will find in high-density urban centres. You won’t see much biodiversity in a city. If we are to work towards true environmental sustainability, the natural merits of each site and its relationship to

adjacent sites must be assessed and protected. It is not enough to rely on parklands; they are too fragmented and too small. It is not good enough to say we will plant two trees for everyone we cut; you don’t replace an 80-year-old Douglas fir with two ornamental plum trees in a boulevard. And it is not good enough to say we can cut these trees here because we’ll save trees somewhere; the creatures that depended on the cut trees don’t know where to go, and the people moving into the area are denied the benefit of a mature canopy. They will wait years for trees, if indeed any are planted. Developments where tree clusters have been maintained are much more appealing to the eye, as well as providing shade, water absorption and noise buffers. The bylaws inhibit only individual land owners, and have done nothing to rein in developers. There seems little pressure on them to work around trees on a site. If we are serious about protecting the environment, we have to reconsider how and where we are developing. Profit and the speed and ease of construction appear to be the only significant factors driving development. There is only so much land. We can’t keep up this frantic pace of development and think we can preserve the environment at the same time. K. Ross, Surrey

CITY NEWS NOTICE OF INTENTION CONCERNING BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA SERVICE

CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING UPDATE

TAKE NOTICE THAT Council for the City of White Rock intends to adopt a new Business Improvement Area Bylaw, 2010 No. 1877 to establish and designate a business improvement area service pursuant to Sections 215 and 213 of the Community Charter, SBC 2003, c. 26 (the “Community Charter”). The locations of the proposed Business Improvement Area and the Taxable Properties making up the Area are shown within the heavy outline on the following maps (the “Area”). NORTH BLUFF ROAD

The business promotion scheme proposed to be undertaken by the White Rock Business Improvement Association is intended to develop and undertake projects and initiatives to encourage business and commerce in the “Area”. The above noted business promotion scheme will be designed to benefit the “Area” and the estimated Council grant toward the business promotion scheme for 2010 will not exceed a sum of $300,000. In 2009, the annual cost charged to property owners within the “Area” was $1.360662 per $1,000 of assessed value on both land and improvements in assessment Class 06 (Business and Other). Under the terms of the proposed new bylaw, this rate will be set based on the approved amount of the Council Grant and assessed property values. 100% of this Council Grant for this Business Improvement Area Service (paid by the City to the White Rock Business Improvement Association) will be borne by the property owners in the “Area” as a property value tax on land and improvements. This local service tax will be imposed for a period of one-year being 2010. The establishment of the Business Improvement Area is proposed to be implemented on Council’s initiative. Unless within 30 days from the date of the second publication of the notice placed in the Peace Arch News on April 14, 2010, the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the property value tax submit a sufficient petition to the City Clerk that Council not proceed with the program, the Business Improvement Area Service will be undertaken by White Rock City Council, and the new bylaw will be adopted. In order for the petition to be sufficient and valid: a ) the petition must be signed by the owners of at least 50% of the parcels that would be subject to the property value tax (outlined in Schedule A of proposed Bylaw 1877), AND b) the persons signing must be the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the property value tax. Persons desiring to petition against the Business Improvement Area Service proposed by “White Rock Business Improvement Area Bylaw, 2010, No. 1877” must do so by submitting a petition. The final date for the acceptance of petitions by the City Clerk will be Friday, May 14, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. If you wish to submit a petition or if you have any questions regarding the proposed bylaw, please contact the City Clerk’s office at City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock BC, V4B 1Y6, Phone: 604-541-2212 / 604-541-2129 or e-mail tarthur@city.whiterock.bc.ca.

Construction of the long-anticipated Centre for Active Living and Peace Arch Curling Club will begin this May—with representatives of the funding partners taking the first cracks at demolishing the existing curling club building earlier this week. The new $6.5 million dollar facility will combine two facilities currently located in Centennial Park: the Peace Arch Curling Club and the Mel Edwards Centre (Centre for Active Living). At the heart of the project is a new 15,000 square foot building containing two studios, two fitness rooms and an education room that will be used by The City of White Rock and Fraser Health to offer health, wellness and specialized disease management programs. Integrated with this building will be a pre-engineered building that will house the curling club’s four sheets of regulation ice (with space for expansion to six rinks). To learn more about the project, see the Leisure Services section of the City’s website (click on the “Integrated Centre” tab).

news City of White Rock still looking to fill two top positions

Engineering manager hired With a new engineering manager starting this week, the City of White Rock is still looking to fill two other top administrative positions. Jorgen Johanson – who has a history in private consulting and employment with the City of Surrey – started with the municipality Tuesday, according to White Rock city manager Peggy Clark. Johanson’s hiring comes after a

core-services review last November led to the re-organization of city services, which saw the departments of public works and parks abolished in favour of a single engineering and municipal operations department. The city began seeking managers for both engineering and operations, as the manager of operations at the time, Ted Haight, notified the city of his

plans to retire. In February, operations director David Pollock resigned for employment with the Township of Langley. Clark said this week Rob Thompson is acting director of municipal engineering and operations, and the city is continuing to work to fill that position, as well as manager of operations. - Hannah Sutherland

esse McKnight’s graveyard shift hauling gravel in the early hours of March 11 started out like any other, with trips back and forth from the Port Mann Bridge to a pit in Aldergrove. But around 1:30 a.m., the rainy night took an unexpected turn. As the White Rock resident drove his dump truck west on 8 Avenue, he noticed his friend and co-worker, Shahn Shepherd, had pulled his truck to the side of the road near the intersection of Lefeuvre Road. “I see Shahn jump out of the truck, and he’s screaming my name,” McKnight recalled. “I haven’t heard him scream like that ever.” As McKnight ran towards his friend, he saw an SUV flipped on its side in the ditch, and a young man shouting that his girlfriend was still in the vehicle. As the two men looked inside the truck,

they realized the occupant’s head was out “We could hear some shuffling around the driver’s side window and stuck in the inside, and we could see a hand come out, so we let the vehicle down,” McKnight said. mud. It was lodged under the truck’s door frame. “She started to climb out, but she couldn’t They could hear muffled screams coming get out, so Shahn opened up the door and from inside the vehicle. we grabbed her and pulled her out.” “When I looked in, all I could see was The young woman was covered in mud and in a state of shock, from her shoulder down,” Shepherd, a Surrey resident, ❝We were reaching according to McKnight, who said. said she didn’t have any obvious out for something signs of injury when they Within seconds, the two ran else to help us.❞ around to the driver’s side and pulled her out of the flipped vehicle. reached down to get a grip on Jesse McKnight the vehicle’s door frame.

no mention in the police report of witnesses intervening. MacDonald said officers suspected alcohol was involved, and the woman was issued a 24-hour suspension and taken to an area hospital for assessment. As for McKnight and Shepherd – who returned to their trucks to finish their shifts after the ordeal – they maintain they made the right choice given the circumstances, despite the risk involved with attempting to lift a vehicle. “My worst fear was us dropping (the vehicle) and letting it fall back on her head,” McKnight said. “But she was suffocating in the mud – if Shahn and I weren’t there, she would have been dead also.” The two were able to contact the man’s brother the following day, who confirmed the woman walked away from the accident with only bumps and bruises. “She’s one lucky girl,” McKnight said.

Kwomais programs offered Experience a breakthrough in better brushing Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Leisure programs will begin at Kwomais Point Park next week, three years after the City of Surrey purchased the 16.25-acre space and took to upgrading it. The public is invited to register for the classes, which include Qigong, meditation and Reiki, and cater to a wide range of ages, from preschoolers to adults. There are also opportunities for some of the youngest community members, with Music and Movement (April 12) allowing children 12 to 24 months old

BBQ fundraiser South Surrey’s M&M Meat Shops is just one of more than 450 locations across Canada to celebrate the franchise’s 22nd annual Charity BBQ Day May 8. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., volunteers will be working the grill at the 6-3189 King George Blvd. store in an effort to reach this year’s $2-million fundraising goal for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). Supporters will receive a hamburger or hotdog, a drink and a bag of chips for a minimum donation of $2.50. For an additional $2, M&M Meat Shops strawberry shortcake bar or crunchy almond bar can be purchased. All proceeds benefit CCFC, which M&M Meat Shops has

The offerings come two months after Surrey council gave final approval to ‘park’ dedication for Kwomais, at 1367 128 St., a move that will preserve the area as parkland and allow the operation of Sanford Hall and Kwomais Lodge for public leisure. At this time last year, Peace Arch News reported how the buildings were undergoing upgrades, and would eventually be available for

rental for community events and meetings. A city report stated at the time that the community and leisure services division of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department would operate Sanford Hall and the Lodge. The operational budget for the buildings, including administration and delivery of programs, would amount to $200,000 in 2010.

Peace Arch Hospital therapy program helps residents, patients

Since it was first built more than 20 years ago, the hydrotherapy pool at Peace Arch Hospital has been a haven for patients and residents. “The most common quote I hear from people who use the pool is, ‘It makes me feel human again,’” said Lou Scheffler, supervisor of the therapeutic recreation department. The body-temperature pool is used primarily by residents of the Weatherby and Dr. Al Hogg pavilions, and provides a comfortable place to practise standing, walking or to just relax. “The warm water is absolutely excellent for pain control and deep muscle relaxation,” Schef-

fler said, noting nearly every participant in the pool therapy program is wheelchair-bound. “It gives people an opportunity to go through a range of motion they can’t do on land.” The pool therapy program relies heavily on volunteers to work with the residents, and Scheffler is looking for more people

who are willing to contribute 1½ hours per week to help out. Volunteers are trained on site, and then work closely with a resident in the pool each week, with the support of a recreational therapist. Scheffler said there is a lot of camaraderie within the program, between the volunteers, the recreational therapists and the residents they work with. “It’s a nice way to make friends,” she said. Anyone who is interested in getting involved can phone Jenn Walker, Peace Arch Hospital’s volunteer resource co-ordinator, at 604-535-4500, ext. 757477. – Melissa Smalley

In your last legal tip you told me that because a witness to my uncle’s will was under 19, I was “out of luck” in my claim against my uncle’s estate for the bequests of $300,000 and his house that he gave me in his will. But then you went on to say I could sue the lawyer. How can that be? He was not my lawyer, so how can I sue him? Good question. In virtually all other cases a lawyer can only be sued by clients that have retained that lawyer. Your case is an exception. The courts in BC state that a lawyer has a duty of care to beneÀciaries even though the lawyer has never met them, let alone been retained by them. If the lawyer breaches that duty of care, then damages will be assessed against the lawyer for any losses.

Bone docs cry foul over cuts to on-call pay rates

Black Press

A move by Fraser Health to pay orthopedic surgeons less money to be on call at night has prompted those doctors to warn that patients with broken bones may not be treated as quickly. Compound fractures need to be set fast for best results and delays can cause irreparable harm, according to B.C. Orthopedic Association co-president Dr. Peter Dryden. But Fraser has reclassified the orthopedic surgeons to a less urgent on-call payment system that gives them $164 less per night spent on call and requires them to get to hospital within two hours if a patient needs treatment, instead of the previous 45 minutes. Those surgeons now get $452 for a night on call, down from $616. “We are going to adjust our service levels until we can come to an agreement with the government about returning to the original classification for the care of our patients,” Dryden said. He said the change – which has happened only at the Fraser and Interior health regions – means longer wait times and possible hospital transfers. Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser’s medical director for surgery, said the surgeons are “understandably upset” about the pay cut but defended the change as one that should have been made years ago. He said the 45-minute response time and accompanying stipend always should have been reserved for cardiologists and abdominal surgeons who deal with more urgent cases like heart attacks and gunshot wounds. It’s also rare that orthopedic

Fraser Health Authority has reclassified orthopedic surgeons to a less urgent and lower-paid category for on-call stipends. surgeons are actually called in to hospital, he said, although it’s still necessary to pay them to be at the ready. Blair said the reclassification doesn’t mean the surgeons won’t show up for two hours after they’re called. He said they, like other doctors, are expected to continue to respond as quickly as possible to the more urgent and severe cases. The reclassification saves the provincial health budget about $60,000 per hospital. Blair said the money isn’t actually paid out by Fraser Health, although the region is charged with administering the payments to local doctors from the province’s Medical On Call Availability Program. “It’s not money we’re going to save and be able to pump into the region’s health budget.” So far, doctors in Fraser haven’t

taken specific job action. Surgeons here had indicated they might collectively refuse to be on call more often than one day out of five, starting April 15. That might leave some nights uncovered at smaller hospitals, where fewer than five orthopedic surgeons share call duties. If that happened, Blair said, patients needing emergency orthopedic treatment would be transferred to the regional trauma unit at Royal Columbian Hospital. Abbotsford surgeon Dr. James Rose said patients need immediate attention when a broken bone or displaced joint constricts a vein. “There are a number of clinical situations where rapid treatment is warranted and required to prevent long-term damage,” he said, adding there are nearly 2,000 such cases across the province each year.

B.C. pays search and rescue insurance Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government will pay for liability insurance for 85 volunteer search and rescue organizations, this year and in future years, Public Safety Minister Kash Heed said last week. The province will provide $180,000 to cover the costs this year, and Heed gave his personal commitment that the support will continue. He will

not, however, follow the lead of Alberta and amend government legislation to require the coverage. The province is also in discussions with the B.C. Search and Rescue Association about extra costs resulting from fatal avalanches in the Kootenays in recent weeks, Heed said. B.C. has also committed to provide $150,000 to the Canadian Avalanche Centre this year, a $20,000 increase for

Farnworth said B.C. should legislate protection for search and rescue volunteers, after a group found out last year it was exposed to legal action over the death of a lost skier. “The problem we’ve seen with this government is they say yes, we’re going to fund something, and then next year the uncertainty comes back,” Farnworth said. “I don’t think it’s something that should be funded on a year-to-year basis.”

Union leader calls punishment ‘excessive’

CHRISTOPHER SAVAGE

Bus drivers lose pay for cell chats calls. He would not discuss the penalties except to say the cases are going through the labour relations process. “It’s something that we do take seriously when we get complaints about dangerous driving,” Zabel said. “Safety is our number one priority.” He stressed fewer than two dozen of the 3,600 drivers have been accused of breaking the rules on cellphone use. The union is still seeking clarification of some elements of the policy. Coast bans operation of hand-held devices, in line with the new B.C. law, and permits hands-free operation only for urgent calls. Zabel said drivers who take personal calls via Bluetooth hands-free systems while driving are expected to pull over at a safe location as soon as possible to finish the call. Drivers who are parked at a terminus or on a break are free to use cellphones for personal calls, he added.

TransLink bus drivers are being suspended without pay for using cellphones in contravention of B.C.’s new distracted driving law after a series of complaints from passengers. Seventeen drivers have been investigated after eagle-eyed riders blew the whistle on them and most have received three- to five-day unpaid suspensions. The union representing drivers argues the punishment is too harsh, that TransLink subsidiary Coast Mountain Bus Co. failed to spell out the penalties in advance or ensure the policy itself is clear. “We feel the three- to fiveday suspensions for this on first offence is excessive,” said Jim Houlahan, vice-president of Canadian Auto Workers local 111. The suspensions cost drivers about five times as much as if they had been caught by police and fined $167. Houlahan said Coast Moun-

They get a warning and retraining on the first offence and a one-day suspension on the second offence.

“In our view, both offences are equally serious, with potentially tragic results in an accident,” Houlahan said. “Yet they’re treated dramatically differently in terms of discipline.” Coast only sent out a policy bulletin about cellphone use in early March, he said, weeks after the Jan. 1 law took effect.

Actor Alan Ruck on set.

Celebrities spotted in Cloverdale Jennifer Lang Black Press

A rising TV star and a veteran actor remembered for his iconic role as Ferris Bueller’s mopey best pal were spotted filming scenes for an upcoming TV pilot on location in downtown Cloverdale last week. Sean Faris, fresh off a stint playing a hunky, bloodsucking bartender on the hit show, The Vampire Diaries, is the lead actor in The Damn Thorpes, an hourlong drama set in Big Whiskey, Wyo. He stars as Gideon Thorpe, a horse trainer who takes over his family’s ranch after his parents die, leaving him in charge of three younger sisters. Joining him for a brief scene at the corner of 176 Street and 56A Avenue, was Spin City’s Alan Ruck, who also played the hapless Cameron Frye in the immortal 1986 film comedy classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Ruck reportedly plays Gideon’s nemesis. The TV production crew spent three days filming scenes in the historic downtown, which was standing in for a small western U.S. town. Several Cloverdale businesses were used as locations during the shoot, including Dee’s Brazilian Shoes and The Vault Restaurant on 176 Street, and the Cloverdale Royal Canadian Legion on 57 Avenue. The pilot episode is one of six new series Warner Brothers Studio’s CW network has ordered, but it’s not yet known if it will be picked up in the fall. If so, production on the series could resume in the summer. It’s written and directed by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.

Modern advances in weight loss surgery offer many new options and great results, including: 85% Resolution of type II diabetes 90% Reduction of joint pain 80% Decrease in sleep apnea 60% Decrease in heart disease 100% NEW LIFE!

Growers set for seed swap Jennifer Lang Black Press

Have you ever tasted the Strategem pea, once billed as the finest pea in the world? Or baked a pie using a small sugar pumpkin, a tasty little squash that dates back to the 1800s? Heritage varieties of plants, flowers and trees are disappearing – edged out by largescale farming and multinational corporations – taking their unique flavours with them. Of course, some of those oldtimers are still commercially available, including a strongscented, colourful sweet pea variety known as Eckford’s Mixture, developed by sweet pea pioneer Henry Eckford in 1870. But others – like the Strategem pea, developed in 1879 and grown in the Lower Mainland in the 1890s – are so rare they’re no longer commercially available. But it’s still grown and saved at the City of Surrey’s Historic Stewart Farm, where the vintage veggie patch and flower Jennifer Lang photo beds are filled with varieties Heritage plant seeds will be swapped by growers Saturday, at Historic Stewart Farm. from yesteryear, including the small sugar pumpkin and the ing dwarf versions suited to counterparts, but that’s beside tler who imported the fruit to today’s smaller garden plots the point. the wild west coast in the early Strategem pea. “They have flavour!

Jordyn Newman, Sally Hillier and Sarah Allison latest Elgin grads to advance to university basketball

Orcas send three more to CIS ranks Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ince 2005, 10 members of the Elgin Park Orcas senior girls basketball team have moved on to play university basketball, perhaps none more unlikely – due to circumstance, not skill – than current senior Jordyn Newman. After all, consider that, in the last two years, Newman has spent more time on crutches than on the basketball court. In December 2008, during the secondround of the HSBC Basketball Classic against Brookswood, Newman twisted her right knee and ended up tearing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which ended her season and required surgery. After nearly a year spent recovering, she returned to the court in January, but lasted only one full game and 10 minutes of another – against the New Westminster Hyacks – before re-injuring the same knee. Again, she was sidelined for the year, and had surgery last month to fix the problem. Injuries aside, however, the five-foot-11 guard/forward still did enough on the court to impress coaches at the University of Victoria, where she signed to play after graduation. She’ll redshirt her first year

while she gets back into playing shape, and then be ready for the 2011/12 season. “I haven’t played much – not since Grade 10 really. It’s been hard, really hard, but I’m a really positive person, so it’s been OK,” said Newman, who is still on crutches and sporting bandages on her recently repaired knee. “I thought about quitting a couple times, but I just knew that if I didn’t come back I would have regretted it later.” Her high school coach, Stu Graham, insists that, had she stayed healthy, Newman would have been one of the top $10 OFF

NCAA Div. 2. Two others, Chantelle Martin (Utah Valley) and Elle Kerfoot (Seattle University) are playing in the U.S. “It’s been pretty impressive,” said Graham of the post-secondary basketball success enjoyed by recent Elgin grads. “They’re all going to do extremely well. Sarah is a very driven young lady, and even though Sally is going to a team with a lot of guards (on the roster), she knows that and is going to work hard and play well.” Allison, who plans on studying kinesiology at the University of Alberta, said having so many former teammates as conference rivals won’t be a problem. “We’ve all competed against each other so much in practice, or for (provincial teams) over the last few years, so we’re used to it,” she said. “If anything, that (relationship) is just going to push us harder when we play against each other. I’m excited, and really looking forward to it.” She added that the recent influx of Elgin Park alumni into the collegiate hoops ranks is a credit to Graham and the other teachers and parents involved with the team. “They’ve worked so hard to develop a good program here... they deserve so much credit for everything we’ve all achieved.”

Cup game set for Friday night

Peace Arch, PoCo set for rematch Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Less than a week after Peace Arch United beat the Port Coquitlam Rangers 5-1 to claim the Pakenham Cup, the two Fraser Valley Soccer League rivals square off again, this time in a do-ordie provincial cup showdown. PAU and PoCo play tonight (Friday) 8:30 p.m. at Gates Park in Port Coquitlam. The winner of the firstround tilt advances to the round of 16 next week. The Rangers had already qualified for the tournament thanks to their regular-season record, and Peace Arch grabbed the cup’s last berth with its Pakenham win. Despite the lopsided final result from Saturday, four Peace Arch goals were scored on penalty or free kicks, and player/coach Dave Hleucka insisted the game was much closer than the score indicated. “It wasn’t really a 5-1 game… it was very close, very tough,” he said. Including the Pakenham Cup, Peace Arch has two wins, one loss and one tie against the Rangers this season. And though the thrill of Saturday’s victory – which gave United its fourth Pakenham title in six years – likely hasn’t worn off for

some, veteran John Collins, one of the team’s captains, insists his squad will be refocused when they hit the pitch tonight. “I don’t think there’s going to be any kind of letdown. We’re confident, now that we’ve beat them, but they’ve played us close all year and we know that,” he said. “We aren’t a bunch of young guys who are hooting and hollering now, thinking we’re unbeatable. We have enough guys who’ve been around who know that when you get to these big games, you have to stay focused. “To throw it all away now would be foolish.” The big difference between last week’s game, which was played at South Surrey Athletic Park, and tonight’s is location. This time, it will be the Rangers with homefield advantage. “It’s their home field, so it’ll be tough. They’ll be ready for us,” Collins said. “We embarrassed them a little bit on Saturday, so I’m sure they’ll come out hard in this one.” The Provincial Cup is a five-round tournament, with a one-week break between semifinals and the championship game. The next round is slated for April 17 and 18. Finals are May 16 in Victoria.

Weisbrod signs with Golden Gaels

Coaches set for Rams’ camp When the Big Kahuna Rams kick off spring camp next month, a slew of guest coaches will be roaming the sidelines. Joining the Rams coaching staff, led by head coach Chris Butschler, for the May 7-9 camp at South Surrey Athletic Park will be new UBC Thunderbirds head football coach Shawn Olson, a former Rams quarterback in the mid1990s who helped lead the club to a national title game in 1992. Also scheduled to lend a hand at the camp is John Mackie, quarterbacks coach at the University of Manitoba; Joel Lipinski, defensive back with

the Saskatchewan Roughriders; and B.C. Lions’ kicker/ punter Sean Whyte, a Peninsula native and former Ram. More than 100 current and prospective players are expected at the team’s three-day camp. In addition, the Rams have also added a new full-time coach to its organization, hiring former CFL defensive back Will Loftus as defensive back coach. Loftus, a former Surrey Ram, played 10 seasons in the CFL and picked up two Grey Cup rings – one with Montreal in 2002 and another with the Edmonton Eskimos in 2005.

Here it’s about taking your time, losing track k of it and living for the moment. It’s about the barista arista who knows your drink or buying salmon from the ﬁsherman who caught it. It’s watching ng the steam rise from a warm croissant. It’s t’s hand-made pasta, picking fresh herbs and apples with the leaves still on. It’s fresh; it’s a new way off thinking about life.

A second member of White Rock Christian Academy’s senior boys basketball team will be suiting up at the Canadian university level next season. WRCA senior Christian Weisbrod, whose sharpshooting helped lead the Warriors to a second-place finish at provincials last month, signed last week with the Queens University Golden Gaels. Weisbrod will join WRCA teammate Eli Mara (Trinity Western University) in the

CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) next season. Weisbrod, a six-foot-five shooting guard, was one of White Rock’s most relied upon scorers this season, alongside Mara and NCAA-bound centre Riley Barker. At provincials, the 17-yearold Weisbrod averaged 8.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and made a gamewinning three-point shot in semifinals against the Vancouver College Fighting Irish. - Nick Greenizan

dinner plans you didn’t plan, or even losing those last few inches off your waistline. Just imagine what life would be like without the long or even the short drive. Would you do more? Plan less? Look at the life around you? Maybe you would leave your car keys on the kitchen table, make plans on a whim, and eat what’s in season, not what’s in the fridge. You could walk to the store, walk the dog and walk off last dinner. And while we can’t shape the 9 to 5 night’s din world around us, we sure can take control of life after hours. We can decide to live life. Maybe for the weekend or maybe only for 45 minutes. Whatever the amount, it still feels a lot better W than the regular routine. And really, who wants th “routine” in their vocabulary anyway? So come “routi down and visit us. You might start to smell the roses, or the fresh sh ground coffee, or that warm croissant. And who knows? You might just ﬁnd yourself living. ng.

EMS uses game against ‘massive’ Californians as learning experience

Mariners lose to big visitors Sports Reporter

Whoever said size doesn’t matter obviously wasn’t at South Surrey Athletic Park Tuesday afternoon, when a pair of Earl Marriott Mariners boys rugby squads battled a touring team from Northern California. The Mariners’ junior “Green” team – the school’s exhibitiononly squad – battled the juniors from Lamirinda Rugby Club, and the EMS senior squad, with a handful of juniors mixed in, followed up with a game against the Lamirinda senior side, losing 57-17. And the difference, according EMS senior coach Adam Roberts, was size. “They were enormous, just a lot of massive kids,” said Roberts. “Rugby is really catching on down in that part of the States now that it’s an Olympic sport, so a lot of ex-football players are playing. “Our kids just aren’t used to

playing against guys that big here.” Bryn Johnson, Marriott’s junior boys coach, echoed Roberts’ statements, adding that it was a good learning experience for his club, especially considering the EMS juniors haven’t faced many challenges this year. “At half time, one of my juniors

said, ‘It’s like playing against my dad,” Johnson said. Despite the size mismatch, Roberts was quick to praise his troops for their resiliency; they scored two tries in the game’s final 10 minutes. “Our guys battled really hard and they never gave up,” he said. “It was good for us to learn how to battle back. You can only get punched so much before you’re forced to punch back, and that’s what our guys figured out.” Johnson was also impressed with his seven junior players who competed in the senior match, namely Grade 10 Mitch Gerhadt, who was named the Mariners’ man-of-the-match. Both EMS clubs are back on the pitch at South Surrey Athletic Park today (Friday) for the Fraser Valley Sevens tournament. Twelve senior boys teams and eight junior teams are taking part. The top five senior squads advance to B.C. Championships the following week.

Hoy, John Cecil July 17, 1917 – March 25, 2010

It is with great sadness and much love that the family announces the passing of John Cecil Hoy on Thursday March 25, 2010 in White Rock, B.C. at the age of 92. John died peacefully in his sleep. John was predeceased by his loving wife of 67 years, Eleanor, and his brothers Bill and Bob. John will be deeply missed by his sons; Bob (Sheila), Jack (Barbara), and Dave (Diane), John’s seven grandchildren; Dave (Brandi), Michael, Jennifer (Ian), Kelly (Natalie), Andrew, Kevin and Christa, and his three great-grand children; Hudson, Kingston, and Evan. John is also survived by his sister Violet and brother Dick. John was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1917 where he grew up. While working in Manitoba he met the love of his life, Eleanor and they were married in 1941. Eleanor and John lovingly raised their 3 boys in Calgary, North Vancouver and Edmonton before retiring to White Rock, B.C. John was a great role model for all of his family and friends and leaves a wonderful legacy of dedication to family, community, his faith and his country. John served his country with bravery in the Second World War joining the RCAF in 1942, achieving the rank of Flying Officer, and was an air bomber. He completed 36 missions with RAF Squadron 158 before moving on to sell war bonds. John was recognized with the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for bravery under fire. John’s entire professional career was spent in the insurance industry where he was responsible for a sales territory and was later a general manager in many locations across Western Canada. John was a much-respected mentor to many work colleagues over the years. Wherever John and Eleanor lived, John was a tireless volunteer. He was very active in the United Church of Canada serving in variety of roles including the Church Board, Presbytery, and the Choir. John volunteered at the Semiahmoo House Society in White Rock for many years where he was Board Chair, and he dedicated many hours with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. In recognition for his extensive service to his community, the City of White Rock named John, Semiahmoo Peninsula Citizen of the Year in 1991. All who know John will remember him as loving, caring and deeply committed. His word was his bond. John was the consummate people person. He lived a life of faith and gratitude. A celebration of John’s life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday May 8th, 2010 at First United Church, White Rock, B.C. In lieu of flowers donations in John’s name can be made to First United Church in White Rock or to the Semiahmoo House Society of Surrey, B.C.

OBITUARIES

Mary’s was a life of service. She was a lifetime member of the Peace Arch District Hospital Society and member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood.

OBITUARIES

Mary is survived by nieces Debbie Theilmann (Fee), Lynne Sutton (Peasley), Carol Farnell (Peasley), Shaen Yeo (Earle), and Judy Meredith (Earle) as well as nephews, Richard Peasley, Dale Peasley, Basil Earle, Fraser Earle, Peter Earle and William Fee. Mary had many friends and relatives who will miss our “Grand Old Gal”. Cremation has taken place. We will gather in remembrance to reunite Mary with her great love Bill at Victory Memorial Park in the scattering pond, on Thursday April 15th, 2010 at 1:30 pm. Donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Olga Kathleen Bottomley March 4, 1932 – April 3, 2010 In loving memory of a woman of real substance, who received many academic awards during her high school and university years. She entered the University of Alberta while our two children were still in primary schools. After earning her degree in Education she pursued a teaching career and taught in several high schools in Edmonton. She is survived by Harry, her husband of 56 years. Two children, Craig of Honolulu and Cheri of Vancouver; four grandchildren, Amanda, Robert, Meghan and Eric; and two sisters, Anne and Mildred in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This is a terrible loss for our family to be sure, but we celebrate her life and are relieved that her illness and suffering are over. A private family memorial was her wish and we plan to honour that wish. She always loved Hawaii and her ashes will be spread in the warm Hawaiian waters with all the family present. Please remember that beautiful intelligent and thoughtful woman as you once knew her. I wish to thank the nurses and staff at The Residence at Morgan Heights and at Peace Arch Hospital for their kindness and caring over the last few months.

Everyone Welcome
