Rows of flowers, a skateboard, pictures, a doll, a jersey and candles sit outside the place where Jamie Kehoe was stabbed to death just after midnight Friday, after he and a friend tried to stop a fight between two women and a man.

Kehoe, 18, was stabbed after an altercation broke out on a bus near the intersection of 128 Street and 72 Avenue.

Police said Kehoe, a Surrey resident, tried to intervene, only to be stabbed in the upper chest by one of the participants.

He was taken to hospital, where he died.Investigators found a trail of blood, believed

to be the suspect’s, running for blocks on the sidewalk along 128 Street. Police are now trying to secure surveillance footage that may help identify those responsible.

Chelsea Jewell was at the roadside memo-rial to Kehoe Tuesday morning.

Describing herself as “a friend of a friend,” Jewell said she’d heard Kehoe was a great guy, and felt extremely sorry for the loss.

The slaying of young people is becoming far too common, Jewell added, noting in the last year Laura Szendrei, 15, was killed in Delta, Maple Batalia, 19, was shot dead in North Surrey, and now Kehoe, 18, was stabbed to death in Newton.

“And they were all great people,” Jewell said.

The roadside memorial contains several notes addressed to Kehoe.

“Baby, you are one of the most amaz-ing people ever,” wrote Richelle Day. “I will never forget you and the memories we shared. You’re always on my mind. I miss

you more than words can describe.”His younger sister, Alyssa, wrote, “I will

love you forever.”Another says, “We truly have been robbed

of a wonderful loving friend. I miss you so

much.”A candlelight vigil took place Tuesday

night at the corner of 128 Street and 72 Avenue.

For the first time in its 16-year history, the WinFall Lottery is in danger of los-ing money.

A fundraiser for the Peace Arch Hos-pital and Community Health Founda-tion, ticket sales for the lottery are at 35 per cent – well below where they’ve been at this point in the past, and well below where they need to be, founda-tion executive director Jackie Smith

said Wednesday.“Our lottery is at risk,” Smith told

Peace Arch News. “We’re appealing to all Brit-

ish Columbians to help us.”Smith announced the

dilemma Wednesday morn-ing, following the news with a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver.

The situation is dire, Smith told PAN.Since its inception, the lottery has

raised $25 million for medical equip-ment at the hospital.

If sales don’t turn around by the final ticket deadline on Oct. 19, this year’s effort will not add to that total, Smith said.

Proceeds are targeted for equipment throughout the hospital, she added.

“The lottery has always provided. For the first time in our history, our lottery

won’t have dollars that we can invest in our community.”

At a loss as to what is stifling sales, Smith appealed to previous and new ticket-buyers who haven’t bought yet to consider the purchase now. She’s optimistic the community will step up to the plate.

“We do remain optimistic that we can get this done,” Smith said.

Tickets are available at www.WinFall-Lottery.ca or by calling 604-436-5690.

Drivers in Surrey, Delta and White Rock will join others within the

TransLink service area in paying two cents more in gas tax, likely starting early next year.

The boost to the gas tax was agreed to by mayors representing a majority of residents in the Lower Mainland on Friday. They included Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson voted against the additional taxes.

Watts joined with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and several other mayors earlier in the week to state that they would back the tax increase, because they do not want to see the Evergreen Line in the Tri-City area shelved. TransLink had to come up with $400 million for its share of the line’s construction, and federal funding for the project would go away without that commitment.

She also said transit service in the South Fraser area would improve as a result of the tax increase, and a planned $23 increase in TransLink property taxes on the average home.

There are several key points which need emphasis in light of this latest boost to the gas tax.

The most important one was made by Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who opposed the latest gas tax increase. His point is that TransLink keeps running out of cash and going back to taxpayers every year or two, even when it says it won’t need to.

This has been TransLink’s history from day one. Set up by the NDP government of Glen Clark, it has never had enough taxing authority to fulfill its mandate of maintaining and adding to transit service. Its other mandate, to help maintain regional arterial roads, has been

fulfilled — but that is a small part of its overall budget.

Watts and other mayors optimistically think that the current provincial government (Christy Clark is the fourth premier to deal with TransLink) will actually grant the agency more taxing power. I’m not so sure. The track record of all previous premiers suggests that it won’t, and the

current government is in a deep fiscal hole, made deeper by the rejection of the HST by voters.

Metro Vancouver drivers will be paying the highest gas taxes in the country, and it is not impossible that they will be asked to pay more in the future.

Another point to remember is this: the Evergreen Line has been promised for more than two decades. It has continually been shelved to make room for other initiatives driven by the provincial and federal governments — notably the Canada Line and the Millennium Line. What is to say that another initiative, such as a SkyTrain line to UBC, won’t elbow the Evergreen Line aside again?

Another important point is that taxpayers, particularly those south of the Fraser, are being asked to pay more by almost

everybody. The provincial government will be imposing tolls on all those who use the new Port Mann Bridge, starting next year.

When that is coupled to the added gas tax, drivers in Surrey who use the new bridge will be paying substantially more to get to work each year. Yet they are getting little in return.

While there will be transit service over the new bridge (after an absence of more than 25 years), many people will still have to drive.

The amount of time it takes to transfer from buses to SkyTrain and back to buses precludes that as a viable option for many commuters. A member of our household is currently commuting by transit from Surrey to Burnaby. It takes more than two hours each way, daily. Many people simply haven’t got that much time in their daily schedules.

One other thought went through my mind as I thought about this latest assault on taxpayers’ wallets: that the mayors most supportive of this tax boost are those who have minimal challenges in November’s election.

Watts may well be elected by acclamation — as yet, she has no announced rival. Ferguson isn’t running again. Jackson, on the other hand, has three challengers seeking her job.■ In last week’s column, I stated that RCMP members do not get overtime pay. I was incorrect — they do get paid overtime.

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

MP Russ Hiebert acknowledges he is among Conservatives with “pro-life” views who have reserva-tions about the federal govern-ment’s decision to continue fund-ing to the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).

But in an interview with the Peace Arch News last week, Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Clo-verdale) indicated he won’t go as far in criticizing the government as another Conservative backbencher, Brad Trost (Saskatoon-Humboldt) – who has openly broken ranks with the government in protest of the decision.

Opponents of the organization characterize it as a leading advo-cate and provider of abortions internationally, and question why Canada is planning on giving it $6 million as part of its foreign aid package.

The government has said the money, provided over three years, would go only to IPPF projects in such countries as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Sudan and Tan-zania, where abortion is illegal.

Opponents, however, say giv-ing any funding to the organi-zation contradicts the Harper government’s avowed position of not funding abortion around the globe.

But while Hiebert said he shares concerns with Trost, he wants to be sure the IPPF is not violating government conditions set on the funding.

“Parliament, in its last session, set a very clear policy on the issue of foreign aid, and I expect that policy to be respected,” Hiebert said.

“I am personally skeptical, given their (IPPF’s) history.

“I’ll be looking very closely to see if they’re abiding by the guide-lines.”

Hiebert was responding to an open letter issued by Mike Schouten, Christian Heritage Party Canada candidate in his riding in this year’s federal election, who called on the

MP to take an “aggressive stance against your government’s assault on the unborn.”

In the letter, Schouten said he finds it “disturbing that Canadian tax dollars are being given to the

world’s most prolific abortion pro-vider.”

Schouten suggested that provid-ing $6 million to IPPF projects in countries where abortion is illegal merely frees the organization to spend the same amount funding abortions elsewhere.

But while Hiebert said he respects Schouten’s views and his participa-tion in the national debate in May’s election, he still wants to be sure the IPPF is playing by the rules set down.

“That has yet to be seen,” he noted.

“I’m a little bit skeptical about their participation in our foreign aid program.”

McLean bows out of race for city councilLongtime councillor cites increased career responsibilities in decision not to run

Alex BrowneStaff Rerporter

Long-serving White Rock coun-cillor Doug McLean has announced he will not run again for council in November.

McLean, who has topped the polls in several elections since first winning a seat on council in 1994, cited an increase in career responsibilities and a desire to spend more time with his family as his principal reasons for not seek-ing office again.

“I have more responsibility in my

current job (deputy superintendent for the Financial Institution Com-mission) and my office is moving back to downtown Vancouver – the commute can take two hours out of

your day,” he said.Working as a regulator

of banking institutions, including credit unions and trust companies, also has a potential for conflicts of interest, he added, since the city has dealings with some of them. But the time

requirement of being a councillor is also a factor, McLean said.

“Over this term we’ve had more

meetings than expected, and we’re about to start doing afternoon meetings, which wouldn’t work with my job.”

He said he is looking forward to the opportunity to spend more time at home with his wife Shellie and their daughter Morgan, who will be turning 13 in November and plans to attend Semiahmoo Secondary.

McLean said it’s “been a great honour” to serve White Rock and is proud he has always had good support in the community.

Frequently appointed finance committee chair during his time in office, he said he is proud, too, of his role helping the city adopt

a long-range financial plan, mod-ernizing financial planning and reducing the city’s debt level “to being almost debt free.”

Other accomplishments he is pleased with are the widening of sidewalks on East Beach, improve-ments to safety, street crossings and sidewalks around White Rock Elementary, the retention of large oak trees on the school site, protec-tion of the Marine Drive hump and opposing an increase of highrises in the town centre.

McLean said he has “mixed” feel-ings about not running for council, acknowledging he will miss having the ability to influence decisions

about the community.But he said he would still be

able to participate by speaking on issues as a member of the pub-lic, and would likely continue to be involved in the community through non-profit organizations. He also did not rule out running for office again, particularly once he retires.

But he’d also like to see more new blood on council, he said.

“One thing I’d like to do is urge more young people to get involved with municipal government – there is a role for them to play and they could influence the future of the city on a lot of things.”

Family and friends gathered for the funeral of Maple Batalia Saturday morning at Riverview Funeral Home in Delta.The 19-year-old student was gunned down in the parking lot of the SFU campus in North Surrey on Sept. 28.Anyone with information is asked to call the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Tip Line at 1-877-551-IHIT.

White Rock Coun. Lynne Sin-clair says she’s had a sudden change of heart and wants to be mayor.

Sinclair confirmed Tues-day that she filed papers at city hall Oct. 7 – two days after current Mayor Catherine Ferguson announced she would not be seeking re-election.

“I had no intention (of running for mayor),” Sin-clair told Peace Arch News. “Her announcement forced me to think about who on council should step up and assume the leadership and continue the momentum that’s begun on council.”

Sinclair will not be alone in the run for the mayor’s chair. As of Wednesday morning, businessman Larry Anschell had also filed nomination papers. While former city man-ager Wayne Baldwin had not yet filed papers, he announced his intent to run for mayor last week.

Sinclair was nominated for the role by former council hopeful Jean Kromm and former longtime councillor Vin Coyne – residents she described as “a unified voice in this town.”

“And that’s what we need to move forward,” Sinclair said, adding she has received positive responses to her decision.

Sinclair was first elected in 2008, endorsed at the time – along with

four other candidates – by Citizens for Positive Renewal, of which Kromm was chair. Kromm ran for council herself in 2005; Coyne first held a seat in 1968-1969, and

again from 1975-1996.Sinclair said should she

take the chair, the leap from first-time council-lor to mayor will not be a big one.

“I don’t feel it is. That’s what Catherine did and I think I have a lot of pro-vincial experience… a lot of organizational and meeting experience and a lot of political experi-ence,” she said.

“As a councillor, I’ve had my share of working with the business com-munity, the health and social non-profit com-munity, and also the arts and cultural and heritage community. I’ve done a lot of work.

“I think all my back-ground, really, will stand

me in good stead as a strong leader.”

Anschell, owner of waterfront Turtle Recording Studios, is no stranger to the political fray, having run for councillor in the 2008 election. He was also cen-tral in the contentious Business Improvement Association issue, in which he disputed the organi-zation’s procedures and policies – a dispute that had to be resolved in B.C. Supreme Court.

In the 2010 proceedings, Jus-tice Robert Crawford ordered a

new BIA election, and upheld Anschell’s position that the orga-nization hadn’t been following its own rules.

Not available for comment before Peace Arch News deadline Wednesday morning, Anschell pointed to his website statement, which calls for “transparency and accountability” as being essential for reforming a city hall many feel is “dysfunctional.”

Council candidates as of Wednesday still numbered three: Brad Forster, Larry Robinson and Bruce McWilliam. One person, Laurae McNally, has filed for the seat of school trustee.

Forster is the husband of former White Rock mayor, Judy Forster; Robinson is a real estate agent; McWilliam describes himself as sole proprietor of B.E. McWilliam & Associates. McNally is current chair of the Surrey school board.

In all, 17 nomination packages were picked up at city hall. Arthur said she’d had 28 packages ready to go, based on interest seen in the 2008 election, when 23 people ran for council, two for mayor and one for school trustee.

Arthur said anyone interested in running for council, mayor or school trustee would be wise not to wait until the last minute, which is 4 p.m. Friday (Oct. 14).

“We encourage (people) not to do that, because if there’s some-thing wrong (with the paper-work), there’s no time to fix it,” she said.

“Give yourself at least a couple of hours.”

A new White Rock-based orga-nization – Equitas – says Cana-da’s recently disabled soldiers are being shortchanged by the federal government.

Chaired by former Conserva-tive Electoral District Association president Jim Scott – whose own son Dan is a disabled veteran as a result of a second tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2010 – Equitas has been formed to provide cru-cial interim funding for veterans while legal services to ensure fair compensation go forward.

“Starting in 2006 with the new Veterans Charter, newly disabled Canadian soldiers receive a lump sum payment in lieu of a disability pension,” Scott explained.

Federal lump sum payments to disabled veterans provide only a fraction of what federal employ-ees or provincial workers would receive given the same injuries, he said.

The organization is campaign-ing to level the field, he added – hence the name of the society, ‘equality’ in Latin.

Equitas will hold its first fund-raising event Friday (Oct. 14), 7:30 p.m. at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club. For a $25 dona-tion, participants can sample hors d’oevres, listen to entertainment and bid on auction items.

It will also feature an video pre-sentation and a chance to meet some of the veterans whose lives can be helped significantly by supporting the organization.

The event will be MC’d by Sur-rey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, who said he is concerned with the issue.

“That inequity doesn’t fit with what my values say,” he said.

Although cases differ, Jim Scott offered one example of the mon-etary impact for veterans.

“A soldier who has had a fair amount of internal trauma and lost multiple organs would receive a $41,000 lump sum,” he said.

“With an annuity purchased in this amount, the soldier would receive $141 per month. But if the same person was a pro-vincial worker, or a logger or a tree-faller covered by our WorkSafe program… that person would receive $1,400 per month, tax free. Why is it so different?”

Scott said that, as the result of his own personal appeal, the national law firm Miller Thom-son has agreed to take this issue to the courts on a pro-bono basis, even though the Veterans Charter section on Crown liability pre-vents soldiers going into courts to seek redress.

“We believe the Canadian Char-ter of Rights has supremacy over other acts,” Scott said.

Scott said the firm is prepared to launch a class-action suit on behalf of the veterans, but prior to deciding the legal approach is still researching soldiers’ claims from across the country.

“So far, they’re discovering the same thing we have, that there’s a great discrepancy,” he said.

He noted that while the federal government’s Bill C-55 amend-ing the Veterans Charter made adjustments to compensation for the most severely injured, the dis-crepancy seems to hold true in most cases.

As well as raising awareness, Equitas is intended to raise money to provide legal disbursement funds for soldiers and provide support while they are awaiting the outcome of legal actions.

He said the fact is that most recently-disabled veterans – except for the most severe cases – are struggling because they are having to support themselves while paying for their own post-

service education and retraining. “I don’t think the act (Veteran’s

Charter) was malicious – it’s the unforseen consequences of it that we’re seeing,” Scott said. “I think there’s a denial right now.”

Scott expressed his gratitude for Hogg’s support, noting it was the MLA’s suggestion to compare funding for disabled veterans with workers’ compensation cases.

Hogg said he has no hesitation in supporting Equitas, both from knowing the Scotts, and from his conversations with veterans.

“It’s a matter of values and prin-ciples – it doesn’t seem right to me, when they are fighting for our country and doing what we have asked them to do, “ he said.

Hogg said he believes most Canadians would agree disabled soldiers deserve “at least” the same benefits as injured workers.

Scott acknowledges that some feel that most soldiers have served only a couple of years and “just because a soldier got shot, they shouldn’t be winning the lottery.”

But Scott said he feels there is a standard of care for the injured that is universal across Canada.

“The question is, why the mili-tary has been able to evade that standard of care,” he said, adding that people will be able to judge for themselves when they meet disabled veterans Friday.

“They’ll be showing people they haven’t won the lotto,” he said.

Like many politicians, Premier Christy Clark has never met a TV camera she didn’t like.

She took her zeal for the lens to new levels when she suggested during the throne speech that television cameras should be allowed into courtrooms during the trials of those charged in the Stanley Cup riots.

Clark said since they had no problem doing their crimes before the cameras, they would have no problem with their trials being in front of cameras, a statement that had some wondering if she hadn’t already convicted them before their day in court.

Naturally, the New Democrats jumped on her suggestion. Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan, the party’s public safety critic, called Riot TV a gimmick.

The premier insisted her suggestion wasn’t a political stunt because opening up the courts is part of opening up government.

That may be the case, but her suggestion is arbitrary. If courtrooms are to be open to television cameras, is this not a change that should be debated in the legislature and other public forums?

Cameras in the courtroom would constitute a major shift in justice policy in this country. The United States has allowed them for decades. There are many who believe it’s been a good thing because it’s made the justice system accountable. Others believe the cameras bring an artificially high level of melodrama that subverts the justice process.

Theoretical logic aside, there is also the financial cost such a system would impose on a government already strapped to pay for basics like health, education and enough judges to keep the court system moving. Prosecuting the rioters is a hot button topic in these parts, and Clark recognizes that.

However, her suggestion smacks of attempting to endear herself to the electorate without carrying out the proper process to make the change.

Allowing cameras in the courtroom is worth debating. If adopted it should be implemented with forethought and planning, and not arbitrarily.

editorial

Here we go again.Let’s target the smokers.Last month, Health Minister

Mike de Jong floated the idea of charging smokers extra MSP premiums – though the idea was quickly opposed by Premier Christy Clark.

But while de Jong goes after smokers, he’s apparently not considering charging obese people, who pose an ever-increasing drain on the healthcare system – a drain that is fast overtaking the threat smokers pose to health care. Or pot smokers, coke snorters, heroin addicts, meth heads or alcoholics.

What about people who participate in extreme sports?

Some doctors call motorcycle owners ‘organ donors’ … you still ride your motorbike, Mike?

De Jong attempts to use the excuse that smokers should take responsibility for their actions.

He’s right. But what about all of the above? Should they not also take

responsibility for their actions?He suggests smokers should contribute

more.They already do. About $3.70 - per

pack - in taxes.And each time those taxes

were raised – several times in recent years – the government said those funds would go toward the smokers’ drain on the healthcare system.

It would be interesting to find out exactly where all those tax dollars go.

Too bad government can’t tax marijuana or cocaine or meth or ecstasy.

What taxes do obese people currently pay toward their expanding pull on healthcare

dollars?What do heroin addicts currently

contribute? Racecar drivers and motocross athletes?

Heck, even our hockey-playing population should probably contribute more, with all the injuries that send players to B.C. emergency rooms every year. Not just the pros, either.

You still play hockey, Mike?Bottom line is, it’s discrimination.And likely just another government

money grab. Gotta find the money to repay the federal government because de Jong’s Liberals brought in a tax they said they wouldn’t bring in before the election, right? Gotta pay back for something no one wanted in the first place – and they proved that at the polls.

Maybe the Liberals should put out more attack ads saying their opponents are untrustworthy.

Thing is, once you start with the smokers, where does it end?

Perhaps other addicts will be targeted first.

But once one personal choice is attacked, it opens the door to all personal choices being attacked. No one wants that. Or things like invasive health checks to ensure whether people are actually smokers or not … or is it just the honour system? If so, effective much?

De Jong would be wise to drop such a discriminatory idea and focus on being safe on the road while he rides his motorcycle, a behaviour many believe is risky and irresponsible.

Of course, donating organs would be a much better way to support the healthcare system than targeting addictive behaviour.

Ignoring the messengerEditor: Re: Building heights ‘key to city’s viability.’ Sept. 22.

If White Rock city councillors like Lynne Sinclair aren’t willing to accept the findings of independent consultants, what’s the point in commissioning them? Could it be because these findings fly in the face of the reason that she, and a few of her fellow councillors, were elected to office in the first place?

This isn’t the first time an outside consultant has indicated the best way to ensure White Rock’s long-term viability as a city is to increase its population density in the town centre. The previous city administration laid the groundwork for private enterprise to facilitate this objective. The process then became bogged down primarily due to global economic uncertainty.

The present results of a long-term process that’s still in the early stages of implementation can hardly be considered indicative of the end result, and for Sinclair to suggest this is as ridiculous as it is self-serving.Glen Gerow, Surrey

Teachers paid to do entire jobEditor:

While I understand the ‘job action’ being taken by our teachers, I ask: is it doing right by our children?

A few observations:• Parent/teacher meetings are not

being held. I understand that the teachers are proving a point by refraining from administrative duties. Imagine, though, if your child was having difficulty in the classroom. As a parent, I need to know this – the earlier the better. Otherwise, my child is at risk of falling behind, and having a very negative impact on their learning.

• Report cards may not be issued? Again, how do I know if my child needs help, and how do I get them the help they need if I am unaware? Some children are embarrassed or afraid to tell someone that they need help. It is the responsibility of the teaching professional to notify parents so that they may assist their child in getting the help they need.I am a working professional, and if

I were to go to my boss and request a raise or a change in working conditions – and they say “no” – I have a few options. I can look for a new job or decide to accept what is. However, if I continue to work, for the same pay, I am expected to fulfill all my duties or risk termination.

If the teachers are getting their regular pay during ‘job action,’ shouldn’t they be expected to do their entire job, including parent/teacher meetings, report cards, field trips, etc.?

Just my two cents, but it seems to me that our children are the ones that are really being impacted by this job action.Karen Bodenheimer, White Rock

Linda Klitch – with Betty Anne Peers and Pat Hill – on one of many visits dropping off gift cards at the food bank.

Editor: Re: Our community loses a champion, Sept. 29.

Despite my recent retirement as manager of Sources White Rock South Surrey Food Bank, spurred on by the sudden death and great loss of Peace Arch News publisher Linda Klitch, I am compelled to reiterate appreciation for the long-term and ongoing support of this newspaper to its community food bank.

As a member of White Rock/South Surrey Community Foundation, Linda was the Christmas Fund’s compassionate and tenacious driving force in generating funds for the purchase and distribution of gift certificates to food-bank registrants during the month of December.

These coupons enabled community members living on a low income to purchase food and perhaps even a small gift for their children in celebration of the holiday season. Their gratitude for this extra support at a particularly stressful time of the year was immense.

Solid and reliable support provided by other Peace Arch News staff was continuous throughout the year – year after year. The newspaper’s editors and reporters – in particular Tracy Holmes – have ‘heartfully’ responded to various requests from Sources Food Bank to publish articles, many of which have raised awareness about the existence of poverty in our community and reflected its impact on those who struggle to make ends meet.

Through the use of press written by caring reporters, along with the images of PAN photographers, critical messages were well-conveyed about the needs of others, and the ways in which we can respond to reduce food insecurity, emphasizing the importance of nutritious food donations to the food bank and the effectiveness of monetary donations, which enable the food bank to purchase whole, fresh nutritious food – from local farmers when possible – for distribution to clients.

In addition, articles based on interviews with individuals who have relied on the food bank revealed their stories in a humane – rather than a statistical – way, reflecting personal experience in context to the multiple obstacles these individuals face, thereby furthering understanding necessary to dissolve and unravel the many assumptions, myths and misconceptions about people who use food bank services.

With its ability to reach thousands, the press is a powerful tool to inform and transform. The food bank – entirely sustained by generosity – has greatly appreciated the significant role of the press to raise awareness, maintain support and thank its generous donors.

We are deeply grateful to Linda Klitch for her effective leadership as publisher, and for her dedication and caring contributions to this community.

Many thanks to everyone at Peace Arch News for your ongoing efforts to inform and support your community.Ruth Chitty, Surrey

We lost Linda Klitch Sept. 26. This determined young woman succumbed to the greatest force we must all face.

I am quite sure that had she known, Linda would have met the realization with the full dignity of her elegant personality – the look, the questioning, the arguable acceptance of the inevitable – propelled by the kindness of heart and resolution of commitment for which she clearly performed and sought for this city and its people.

Linda was part of this world and that same world has suddenly grown smaller, and we are at a loss.Mary-Wade Anderson, White Rock councillor

I was deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing of the much loved and highly respected Linda Klitch.

The community has indeed lost a champion, and we have all lost a true friend.Pam Glass, Surrey school trustee

It was obvious to many of us at the Peace Arch News when Linda Klitch first arrived at our office in 2000 as our new publisher that we had scored big time.

A boss whose ability to immediately put others at ease was demonstrated from the get-go, and as the years passed we grew to admire and respect the many other talents she possessed. Central to knowing Linda was observing her innate kindness. It went beyond mere thoughtfulness into the realm of genuine warmth, caring and concern for all her staff.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. With surgery looming and an uncertain diagnosis, Linda helped make my transition into the unknown easier to bear. As I recovered, she made time to visit me at home with a gift basket from our co-workers tailored just for me, encouraging me to stay positive. She included me in our local Nite of Hope 2010 breast cancer fundraiser, for which I was so grateful to be part of, a community of determined citizens working hard to beat this disease.

Linda had deep compassion for others, a bright spirit with tons of character visible to all who knew her. In many workplace relationships, sensitivity to the requirements of each department is not easily accomplished, and is often the nature of the beast in our deadline-driven business. But Linda worked very hard to make our cohesive team even more so, through her ability to bring people together.

We knew how lucky we were to have her in our lives and in our work – she made every day seem easier. Even those private lunchoom conversations she’d occasionally have with us made us feel more connected to our jobs, and each other. Linda was a gifted leader; there wasn’t much you could throw at her that she couldn’t sort out with perseverance, dignity and grace.

We were almost the same age, Linda and I, and I feel so privileged for having known her. Leslie Hilts, Peace Arch News creative services

Individuals can make a difference



A White Rock councillor’s after-the-fact request for reimbursement of $1,312.36 in discretionary expenses has been denied.

Council – with the exception of Coun. Doug McLean, who declared a conflict because it was his request – voted “with respect-ful consideration” against cover-ing the funds last week. In making the decision, they cited a need to follow their own rules.

“We’re all very well aware” of the policy governing council expendi-tures, Mayor Catherine Ferguson said.

“We are leaders in the commu-nity. We need to be setting an example.”

McLean made the reimbursement request after spending $3,909.36 to attend the Canadian Society of Corporate Sec-retaries Annual Corporate Governance Conference, held Aug. 21-24 in Quebec City, Que.

Prior to attending, McLean had $2,597 left in his $3,000-per-term “discretionary educational expense” allocation.

While council policy allows for reim-bursement requests for additional

expenses, it also mandates that such requests be made before the expense is incurred.

McLean asked council to consider his request on the basis that he did not attend

the annual Union of BC Munici-palities, Federation of Canadian Municipalities or the Lower Mainland Local Government Association conferences. A staff report notes expenses associated with the 2011 FCM averaged $3,000; for the LMLGA, the aver-age was $700.

In presenting the report, city manager Peggy Clark noted approval of the request would present a risk of higher expen-ditures in the future should the

frequency of such requests increase. How-ever, as each request is dealt with on a case-by-case basis, the risk is “minimal,” the report notes. If approved, staff recom-mended the funds come from the city’s contingency budget.

Clark noted Monday that McLean has already reimbursed the city for the addi-tional funds.

In discussing the request, Coun. Helen Fathers questioned whether the issue was that McLean didn’t ask first, or that he

went over the $3,000, to which Clark replied “both.”

In voicing her opposition to OK the funds, Coun. Lynne Sinclair recalled the approval of a similar request by the previ-ous council in December 2007.

At that time, a decision was made to reimburse then-councillor Matt Todd for funds spent attending the Walk 21 Con-ference in Toronto that fall.

At the time of the conference, Todd had $1,327.57 left of his $3,000 allocation. Council agreed to apply the balance of the allocation to the tab, and reimburse Todd $1,162.27 out of council expenses.

“It was not well-received by the citizens of White Rock,” Sinclair recalled.

Coun. Al Campbell also recalled the 2007 decision. He remembered being in council chambers as a citizen during the meeting.

“I was quite astonished… when he got it,” Campbell said.

Ferguson noted McLean had previously suggested the expense policy be reviewed, a move she supports. She described last week’s decision as “not a fun part of the job.”

Prior to excusing himself from the dis-cussion, McLean assured council “either way, I will hold no hard feelings.”

news

Two children reported missing in the U.S. six months ago were located at the Douglas border last Thursday, when offi-cers intercepted a man travelling with his two minor children.

Canada Border Services Agency spokes-person Erin Steeksma said a 33-year-old man was turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials after he failed to provide proof of full custody of the children he was travelling with.

The man told border officers he was moving to Alaska with the children, and presented officers with multiple docu-ments, Steeksma said.

However, the documents failed to prove custody, and further checks determined the man is the subject of a Domestic Vio-lence Protective Order, Steeksma said.

A check of the National Criminal Infor-mation Centre revealed the children were reported missing last May.

They were returned to the U.S. and placed in the care of child protection offi-cials there.

Their mother was also notified, Steeksma said, noting CBSA has to date reunited 1,650 missing or abducted children with their legal guardians.

Anyone with information about missing children may call 1-877-318-3576 or visit www.ourmissingchildren.gc.ca or www.cbsa.gc.ca

Michael Bugera wasn’t expecting to go down in the books as the last resident of the historic border

community of Douglas.But as the last renter of the distinctive

dark salmon-pink cottage at 16881 Peace Park Dr. – the last surviving vestige of old Douglas – Bugera has come to realize the honour is his.

“It’s the closing of an era,” he said of the impending demolition of the house he’s called home for the last eight years.

“I have a lot of good memories of being there. It always had such a good energy in it; it was always so homey.”

Bugera, who works as a set dresser in the film and television industry, and is best

known locally for his extravagantly detailed community theatre productions, also did weekend maintenance work at Peace Arch Park during his residence on Peace Park Drive.

But he has no rancour about leaving

(he’s moving to Ladner) or the current owner’s decision to demolish the cottage and build a new home on the quarter-acre lot.

In truth, while the house is historic, it wouldn’t really qualify for preservation as a local monument.

“There’s no real reason to save it,” Bugera said of the house, which was, by contemporary standards, built flimsily without a proper foundation.

“It’s up on blocks, on clay, which is really spongy and porous,” he said. “When trains would go by the whole house would move and roll – you could feel it. I really miss the trains at 1:30 in the morning!”

Nobody knows quite how old the building is – it’s been around much longer than long-term residents of Peace Park Drive like John Bowen, who has lived there for 28 years.

“It’s definitely one of the last survivals of Douglas,” he said.“I’d say it was built roughly 80 years ago. My own home was built by a customs officer, a Mr. Pearson, 55 years ago. Everybody here was here to stay.”

Neighbour John Kageorge said his research has shown the house is one of the

last remaining buildings of the original community of Douglas.

Most, including the infamous St. Leonard Hotel – decried by the citizens of Blaine in the early 1900s for corrupting its youth with liquor and other diversions – were torn down and cleared away during the development of Peace Arch Park in the 1930s.

❝It always had such a good

energy in it; it was always so

homey.❞Michael Bugera

resident


“Before there was a White Rock, for the land barons of New Westminster, Douglas was the oasis,” Kageorge said, adding he has heard rumours that some of the ‘ladies’ who plied their trade around the St. Leonard had their cottages in the vicinity.

“The area was forgotten by Surrey for over 80 years, until recently, when it became a cash cow,” he said, referring to a current building boom of townhouses only blocks away on 172 Street.

Bugera said he understood the old house was originally the area’s general store.

“I heard there was a store there and the building was painted red and white as long as anyone can remember,” he said.

The first records of the house in White Rock Museum’s archives say it was built by hand in 1940 by popular local character Esther ‘Ma’ Crosfield and her neighbour Charlie Asbeck, as the premises for Crosfield’s Peace Arch Coffee Shop.

She ran it for more than a decade, until it was bought in 1952 by a baker from Barkerville, Louis Hayd, who extended the building to add a bakery to the coffee shop operation. In 1964, when Hayd’s health was failing, the building was converted to a house.

But it seems likely, from the style of the building and internal evidence, that it had

originally started life as a cottage and was converted to a shop by Crosfield.

“The floorboards came from the Semiahmoo mill,” Bugera said. “They’re first-cut fir, beautiful floors.”

Since the mill was in operation only from 1913 to 1927, that would suggest the house was originally built in that period.

“The outside hadn’t been altered much, but the inside had been altered a lot,” Bugera said. “You could see by the lines on the floor, and where they criss-crossed, there had been a lot more rooms in the house.”

Aside from a grainy photograph in a faded newspaper article by former Peace Arch News columnist Margaret Lang Hastings, the oldest photograph on file with the Museum is dated 1965 – “but that seems awfully late given the look of the car in it,” said archives manager Hugh Ellenwood.

Advertising signs in the photo also seem to date from the period when Hayd took over the operation in the early 1950s.

Bugera said he had a sentimental interest in Hayd’s link to Barkerville, since that was where he first began his theatre career in the early 1970s.

“It was a fascination connection for me to live in the house of the baker from Barkerville, since after I left school I went straight to Barkerville to do shows,” he said.

A silent auction and bonsai sale in South Surrey raised $7,000 in five hours Oct. 1 for victims of the Japan tsunami.

More than 800 people came to the event, which was hosted by Japan Bonsai Garden Art at 16164 24 Ave., and included demonstrations by expert Japanese gardeners, including a bonsai workshop, flower arrangements and Japanese black pine shaping.

Takaaki Yamaura, who organized the event, had been planning the auction and sale

ever since the tsunami hit Japan. Immediately after the natural disaster hit, there was an abundance of media coverage and support but that slowly tapered off, Yamaura said.

“Although it is no longer on the front page of the newspaper or broadcast on the news, Japan is still in desperate need of our assistance,” said Yamaura.

“They have a very long road ahead of them.”

Volunteers worked tirelessly to bring the event together, which also had support from local businesses and community members, said Yamaura’s

daughter, Natalie.“Everybody was really

supportive, especially the volunteers. Many were personally affected because their families are close to Japan,” Natalie said.

The money will be going through the Japanese consulate to get to Japan, said Yamaura.

Highlights of the evening included traditional Japanese entertainment, live music and guest of honour, Hideki Ito, the consul general of Japan.

Yamaura said the group plans to make this a yearly event and beat their record each year.

Just like decorating the tree, the Surrey Christmas Bureau’s hunt for a toy depot has become an annual tradition.

And this year isn’t any different.

The charitable organization needs about 8,000 sq. ft. of space, preferably with a loading bay and indoor plumbing, so that it can assist those in need prior to the holidays.

The large space will be used as a place families can register for help, and where donated toys and gifts

can be sorted and distributed prior to Christmas. An early start is necessary to meet the need in the community.

The Surrey Christmas Bureau has been collecting and distributing toys and hampers to those in need for more than 40

years. Upwards of 1,600 families including 5,000 children were helped by the organization last year.

Registration for those requiring assistance usually begins in early November.

Anyone who knows of an appropriate toy depot space that is available as soon as possible until January, is asked to call 604-581-9623.

For more information on the Surrey Christmas Bureau, check www.christmasbureau.com

There’s just a few days left to take in one of the highlights of the fall season – the Bose Corn Maze in Cloverdale.

Now in its 12th season, the 17-acre attraction – at 64 Avenue and 156 Street – draws thousands of visitors each year, young and old.

The Bose family – Mike, Novy,

Kevin and Matthew – operate the maze each year, along with other activities on-site: the hay jump, pumpkin patch, country store with fresh local veggies and the ever-popular firepit where visi-tors can roast marshmallows.

The final day is Oct. 16.The maze is open from 6 to 8

p.m. Thursday, from 6 to 8:30

p.m. Friday, from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Admission (cash only) is $6.75 for adults, $5.50 for youth aged 6 to 18, $5.50 for seniors, $2.50 for five-year-olds and $22.50 for a family of four.

Children four and younger are free.

Last days for Cloverdale corn maze

Potters Nursery is once again being transformed into a ghoul-ish haunted house.

Starting Friday (Oct. 14), Pot-ters House of Horrors, at 12530 72 Ave., is inviting thrill-seekers to visit such freaky destinations including Camp Dread, Seven Gates to Hell and Med-Evil Times.

Potter’s Ghoul Crew has been working away at the haunted

house for months, with an aim to make it perfectly petrifying.

“We started building the House of Horrors in August,” said Cam Martin, who heads the crew. “Guests can expect lots of new effects, sets and scares.”

For those not up for a full-blown tour of terror, the first hour of the event will start off with a static run – without actors or moving displays and a quieter

sound display.The spooky residence will be

open until Halloween, but Mar-tin encourages people to come early to avoid a lengthy wait in line.

For those interested in skipping the line, a few extra dollars will buy a Speed Pass.

For more information, visit www.pottershouseofhorrors.com or call 604-542-7706.

Surrey music students can play the blues, but they don’t have to feel them, thanks to Musi-Counts.

The Canadian charity has awarded “Band Aid” grants total-ling $15,000 to Tamanawis Sec-ondary and Forsyth Road Ele-mentary to help the two schools enhance and expand their music education programming.

Tamanawis, which has grown its music program from near extinction a few years ago to a thriving repertoire of band, guitar and choral students, will use the school’s $10,000 grant to replace some concert band equipment and introduce new instruments that will appeal to the broader school population.

“We want to go further and push the boundaries of our music program,” said Tamanawis principal Margaux Molson. “The funds will be used to introduce a drumline to our students and bring in percussion instruments from all around the world. Pre-pare to be amazed by the expan-sion of our music program!”

Only 80 schools across Can-ada received Band Aid grants, and Molson said she is thrilled the organization recognized the value of the Tamanawis program. Not only has the school’s music program expanded, it’s given rise to extracurricular jazz and musi-cal theatre programs.

At Forsyth Road Elementary, where world music is exception-

ally popular, the $5,000 grant from MusiCounts will also help pay for new types of instruments so students can learn to perform the music they already love.

Principal Carol Davison cred-its music teacher Darryl Penner, who also teaches at Bridgeview Elementary, for inspiring in his students an appreciation for a wide variety of music.

“It’s a national competition, so we feel like we’re ‘the little school that could.’”

MusiCounts is a registered char-ity whose mission is to ensure that Canadian children have access to comprehensive music programs through their schools regardless of socio-economic cir-cumstances.

The Semiahmoo Bottle Depot is now accepting expired and used smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for recycling as part of a new prov-ince-wide program that kicked off right before Fire Prevention Week.

The program, called AlarmRecy-cle, launched on Oct. 1 in response to B.C. recycling regulations which require manufacturers to have take back and recycling programs for cer-tain products.

“Prior to this program there was no recycling program for them anywhere in the province - they were just added to the landfill,” said Jordan Best, the program co-ordinator.

Now, South Surrey and White Rock residents can drop off their used and expired alarms to the depot, which is located at 15515 24 Ave., where the metal and plastic material is sorted and then sent to a recycler to be recovered and sold back as material, said Best.

During Fire Prevention Week, which runs from Oct. 9 to Oct. 15, the pro-gram will be advertised with help

from local fire chiefs, Best said.AlarmRecycle is a non-profit pro-

gram funded entirely by recycling fees which have been applied to the sale of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the province, said Best.

At the beginning of this month, B.C. applied a $1.20 recycling fee to the sale of a new smoke alarm and combination smoke and carbon mon-oxide alarms and a 60-cent charge for carbon monoxide alarms.

There are more than 20 different facilities around the province that will now be recycling the alarms.

South Surrey Smiles celebrates Grand Opening

GRANDVIEW BUSINESS CENTRE, SOUTH SURREY

“We are very excited about opening the new office at

Grandview Business Centre”

– DR. LESLEY WILLIAMS

After enjoying many years in a specialty orthodontic practice in North Delta, Dr. Lesley Williams was

thrilled to have relocated her practice to the Semiahmoo Peninsula last fall.

A Certified Specialist in Orthodontics, Dr. Williams is an active leader in the orthodontic community. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists.

She is the immediate past president of the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontist, which represents the orthodontists in the eight western United States and three western Canadian provinces.

Dr. Williams treats patients of all ages, including adults. She says that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends children be evaluated by a certified orthodontist by the age of seven.

“We find that an early evaluation helps us identify potential orthodontic problems early,” she said.

“We can then perform interceptive treatment, which typically helps reduce the complexity of problems later, and gives us time to get to know our patient families and to educate them as we see them over time.”

While many dentists offer referrals to Dr. Williams’ practice, no referral is necessary.

Dr. Williams invites new patients to schedule a complimentary examination

by calling the office at 604-542-5420

Two Surrey classic car experts – restorer, appraiser and author

Harvey McEwen and legendary custom-car upholsterer Arnie Schwab – were honoured Sunday with inductions by the Greater Vancouver Motorsports Pioneers Society (GVMPS).

The 11th annual ceremony – an afternoon of history and camaraderie – took place at Vancouver’s Croatian Cultural Centre.

Cars McEwen has restored over the years include a 1930 Packard 745 phaeton, a 1953 Mercedes 300 S roadster, a 1947 Ford Sportsman woody convertible, a Ferrari GT 330 GT 2+2, a Jaguar E-Type roadster, a 1969 Plymouth GTX Hemi convertible, a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1929 Packard Larkins convertible sedan and a 1953 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

A leading authority on classic cars, McEwen has spent six decades involved in every facet of the classic car hobby.

Schwab was a teenager when he started doing pick-ups and deliveries for a Vancouver auto upholstery company, which led to him learning the craft of restoring seats, carpets and tops for automobiles, custom cars, hot rods, boats and airplanes.

Over the next 40 years, the master upholsterer has been working with collectors and

restorers to make older vehicles into showpieces.

The GVMPS ceremony honoured 15 individuals who made major contributions in the early days of motorsports in the region. This includes hot rodding, custom-car building, drag and land-speed racing, sports car and

road racing, motorcycling and power boat racing, as well as car collecting and restoration.

Keynote speakers were Rock and Roll Hall of Fame disc jockey Red Robinson, a one-time member of the Igniters Car Club, and Red’s uncle, Chuck Robinson from Surrey, the first president of the

BC Custom Car Club.The GVMPS, which has already

inducted 165 pioneers, is a group of enthusiasts from various motorsports organizations whose goal is to recognize and record the accomplishments of people who have made major contributions, beginning four decades ago.

Other pioneers recognized this year were Bob Underhill and Alec Bennett for motorcycling; John Carlson for collector and restoration; Taylor, Soon and McNicol Racing Team; Bill Phillips and Roger Manson for hot rod, custom car and drag racing; and Tom Burgess, Taisto Heinonen and Leslie and Kevin Skinner for sports car road racing.

“It is important to recognize the people involved in motorsports activities that started years ago and continue today,” says GVMPS president Jim Greenwood, a pioneer custom-car striper and race organizer.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Imagine an aerial park perched above the Fraser River featuring two kilometres of trees and green space with meandering pedes-trian paths and a public plaza in the middle.

It’s an alternate vision for the Port Mann Bridge, which is now slated to be demolished once the new 10-lane toll bridge rising beside it opens just over a year from now.

The idea of saving the old bridge as a unique park was qui-etly floated by a Metro Vancouver manager at a regional parks com-mittee meeting last month.

SFU City Program director Gor-don Price rates it a long shot – but a fascinating one.

“Wow – that would be spec-tacular,” he said. “I love the idea. It’s just so audacious and jaw-dropping to think of what the possibilities might be.”

Tempting as it is, Price said, it probably won’t happen.

The provincial government has always said the existing bridge must be torn down to eliminate the ongoing maintenance costs.

Victoria is also determined to tear down the old bridge so there’s no way it could ever re-open as a free crossing for motorists in competition with the toll bridge.

Cycling and pedestrian lanes will also be provided on the new bridge, so keeping the old one might be considered redundant.

Still, Price thinks the park idea merits a look.

“People love this stuff,” he said. “If it’s going to cost a lot to tear it down there might be an argument to leave it for now. Maybe it could be done over time.

“People might look back in 50 or 60 years and say this was a stroke of genius.”

Old bridges and railway viaducts have been turned into elevated parks else-where in the world.

Paris has the Promenade Planteé, the world’s first elevated parkway.

New York has the High Line Park, a similar rail viaduct in Manhattan that

was saved from demolition and transformed into a popular linear park and public space.

A transportation ministry spokesperson was unable to pro-vide estimates of annual mainte-nance costs of the bridge or the estimated price tag to demolish it. The demolition cost is built into the new span’s construction cost.

The spokesperson said alterna-tive uses were never considered because the existing approaches must be dismantled to make way for the lanes accessing the new bridge.

The green space concept was raised by Gaetan Royer, Metro’s new manager of metropolitan planning, regional parks and environment.

Royer urged the parks commit-tee to “think big” in considering new ways to expand and enhance the regional parks system, poten-tially by looking at Vancouver’s viaducts and other highways, overpasses or freeway ramps that might otherwise be torn down.

He stressed he’s not proposing a green conversion of the Port

Mann nor has Metro studied the idea. Royer offered it merely as “food for thought.”

He was also inspired by the High Line in New York.

“They put a layer of dirt on top and some pavers and it’s just a gorgeous elevated park,” Royer said.

The High Line isn’t contigu-ous – it’s broken up in places where the original viaduct was torn down.

Likewise, Royer said, even if the main span of the Port Mann is torn down, one or both approach ramps could be kept.

“You could have a lookout over the water that creates access at a place that’s regionally significant and could possibly be turned into a tourist attraction,” he said.

“A park does not neccessarily have to be the traditional piece of land somewhere. As density increases, we need to learn to do things differently.”

Parks committee chair Gayle Martin lauded Royer for “think-ing outside the box” and said it’s a concept worth discussing.

Law expandsAttorney General

Shirley Bond has introduced changes to B.C. law that add new sentencing options for street disorder, unsafe driving and other provincial offences.

The amendments would allow charges of being drunk in public to be laid under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act instead of the Criminal Code. Offenders could be placed on probation with conditions such as paying for damages, writing an apology and performing community service, and a new offence of breaching a probation order would be available.

Probation options are also being added to existing fines and jail terms for serious Motor Vehicle Act offences such as driving without due care.

For repeated trespass offences, probation would be available with court-ordered conditions to stay away from a specific area, along with the option of community work service instead of fines.

Forest licences The B.C. government

has introduced changes to forest harvest licences to simplify operations for energy and mining companies, and loosen land use restrictions for private woodlot owners.

The proposed legislation gives Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson authority to allow woodlot owners to remove private land from woodlot licences. The ministry said in a statement the change will “provide woodlot

owners flexibility in managing their assets in changing economic times, and to plan for retirement.”

Cutting permits for oil and gas activities requiring logging are to be extended from five years to 10. Free use permits to allow small amounts of logging to develop a mining claim would have their term extended from one to five years.

Amendments would also allow the direct award of fibre supply licences to allow access to wood waste for biofuel production.

Oil and gasThe B.C. government

has presented legislation to restrict mining and oil and gas development in the Flathead watershed in southeastern B.C.,

formalizing an agreement reached with Montana in 2010.

Parallel legislation has been introduced

in the U.S. Senate to prohibit mining and gas drilling in the Montana portion of the Flathead basin, after 80 per cent of oil and gas leases issued in the 1980s have been bought out by the U.S. government.

The Flathead watershed is a UNESCO world heritage site that spans the international border, and is next to the Waterton Glacier International Peace Park. Governments on both sides have been lobbied for years to extend park boundaries to include the Flathead.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said he supports the protection agreement, because it allows historic uses including recreation, forestry, trapping and guided hunting, which would not be allowed in a park.

Two more groups have pulled out of the Missing Women Inquiry, citing the provincial government’s refusal to pay for lawyers.

Amnesty International and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) said last week that they will not participate when hearings begin in Vancouver Oct. 11.

Several other public interest groups representing women or aboriginals that had been granted standing before the inquiry previously refused to participate.

Critics say lawyers must be provided for groups representing vulnerable women if they are to put tough questions to police and government officials on why it took so long to catch serial killer Robert Pickton.

Otherwise, they say, the inquiry is stacked in favour of the authorities, who will be well-defended by publicly funded lawyers when called to testify.

“This Commission of Inquiry is grappling with critical concerns about access to justice and human rights

protection for some of the most marginalized communities in the province,” Amnesty International Canada representative Alex Neve said. “But it is going forward in a manner that only adds to that longstanding sense of exclusion and discrimination.”

Neve said the organization could not stay on board and send the signal it supports the process.

“We are going to dedicate our efforts to processes where calls for respect and voices of concern can be heard,” added Robert Holmes, lawyer with the BCCLA.

Commissioner Wally Oppal had fought for increased funding from Victoria but was unsuccessful.

The inquiry ended up reshuffling its budget to hire four lawyers to represent various interests, a move opponents call inadequate.

The government has “lavished all its resources on one side – that of the police and bureaucrats,” Holmes said. Some of the families and friends of Pickton’s victims are worried the inquiry will be hampered in its search for answers.

OCTOBER 9 - 15, 2011

What’s the best way to protect your family from fi re? Be ahead of the game, of course. With more than 360,000 home fi res reported in the United States in 2009, according to the nonprofi t National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), your best defense is a good offense. That’s why White Rock’s Fire Depart-ment is teaming up with NFPA during the October 9-15, 2011, to let our community know: “It’s Fire Prevention Week. Protect your Family from Fire!” This year’s campaign focuses on prevent-ing the leading causes of home fi res -- cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials. Additionally, it urges people to protect their homes and families with life-saving technology and planning.

“In 2009, 2,565 people died in home fi res. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions like having working smoke alarms and a home fi re escape plan, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed,” says Bob Schlase, Deputy Fire Chief of the White Rock Fire Rescue De-partment. “Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by anticipating the hazards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fi res each year.”

White Rock Fire Rescue Department offers the following tips for protecting your home and family from fi re:

• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, orbroiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short pe-riod of time, turn off the stove.

• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fi replace, wood stove, or portable space heater.

• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fi res and space heaters.

• Replace or repair damaged or loose electrical cords.• If you smoke, smoke outside.• Use deep, wide ashtrays on a sturdy table.

• Blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep.

“While preventing home fi res in White Rock is always our number one priority, it is not always possible,” Deputy Chief Schlase continued. “White Rock’s residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes and families safe in the event of a fi re. This can be achieved by developing an escape plan which you practice regularly and equipping homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms and home fi re sprinklers.”

The following tips will help keep your family safe if there is a fi re in your home:

• Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home (including the basement).

• Interconnect all smoke alarms in the home so when one sounds, they all sound.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthly and replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond when tested.

• Make sure everyone in your home knows how to respond if the smoke alarm sounds.

• Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible ways out. Households with children should consider drawing a fl oor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors.

• If you are building or remodeling your home, you are re-quired to install home fi re sprinklers.

A fill-up in Metro Vancouver will cost motorists an extra two cents a litre in TransLink tax starting next April.

Sixteen mayors approved Trans-Link’s supplemental plan Friday by an 81-34 population-weighted vote – a 70-per-cent majority.

It ensures the long-stalled Ever-green Line to Coquitlam is finally built and delivers a variety of other transit upgrades across the region, partly funded through the gas-tax increase.

But more new fees targeting drivers could be on the way, such as an annual vehicle levy or road pricing, as a result of the vote.

At least that’s what most mayors hope happens.

The Metro cities and the prov-ince are now committed to try to negotiate various new sources for TransLink to cover nearly half of the extra $70 million per year required to fund the transit expansion plan.

It’s a big leap of faith for the mayors, who are trusting that Victoria will deliver and not leave them in the lurch once again.

If the province gets cold feet or otherwise refuses to sign off on new sources, a $23 average property tax increase takes effect instead.

“This is not the end of the road – this is the beginning of the road to the solution,” Langley City

Mayor Peter Fassbender said.Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts

said a “fair tolling policy” must be part of the debate, to end the inequity of some Metro residents paying more in tolls than others.

“We have a year,” Watts said. “If we can’t do this in a year,

I think we should all just walk away from the table. If, for what-ever reason , it fails I will not be sitting at this table.”

Approval was assured because Surrey and Vancouver had enough weighted votes to pass the plan with only a few other cit-ies on board.

Six mayors opposed the plan: Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, Rich-mond’s Malcolm Brodie, Delta’s Lois Jackson, Langley Township’s Rick Green, Pitt Meadows’ Don MacLean and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.

Green said South of Fraser resi-dents are underserved by transit.

“I’m hearing it loud and clear,” he said. “People have just had enough.”

MacLean warned the fall-back property tax increase, if used, will not be temporary but will stay in place forever because rescind-ing it would trigger drastic transit service cuts.

Several mayors predicted Vic-toria will back out and refuse to grant new sources – especially ones sure to be contentious as the next provincial election nears – leaving them stuck with the

unwanted property tax.“Can you imagine how difficult

a road pricing debate is going to be and how divisive that is going to be in our region?” Brodie asked.

“I’m afraid I don’t have that kind of faith,” Jackson added.

TransLink has tried to get on sustainable financial footing before.

It had the green light to impose a $75 per vehicle levy in 2000 but the Opposition Liberals fought it and the NDP government scrapped it in a bid to shore up votes.

More recently, TransLink adopted a parking stall tax, but the Liberal government decided it was unacceptable and killed it, amid a governance overhaul that took control away from the elected reps.

Some mayors, such as Brodie, wanted to approve just the two-cent gas tax for the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line, chop the other spending in the plan and avoid the risk of a property tax hike.

But others said they couldn’t support an Evergreen Line-only solution – nor was it possible because mayors had no power to amend the plan crafted by Trans-Link’s unelected board.

The provincial government still has to pass legislation this month enabling the TransLink gas-tax increase from a current 15 cents a litre to 17 cents next spring.

When Leonard Maltin was persuaded by ukulele-playing friends

to watch The Mighty Uke, the famous movie critic remarked that the highlight “was learning about the school program in Langley, Vancouver, that introduces kids to strumming and, before long, has them playing Flight of the Bumblebee and the William Tell Overture.”

Maltin called the bonus segments of the documentary, which featured the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, “an absolute delight.”

Langley residents who have not yet had a similar experience with the four-stringed instrument – which got its name from the Hawaiian for ‘dancing flea’ – will have the chance at the Langley Ukulele Ensemble’s 30th anniversary concert Saturday, Oct. 15.

The event, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will take place at the Bell Centre, 6250 144 St., in Surrey. For tickets, call 604-507-6355, or buy online at www.bellperformingartscentre.com

The concert will feature not only the current members of the ensemble, but many who belonged to the group over the past three decades.

These include James Hill, and Paul and Mark Luongo, whose father, Peter, is the music director of the LUE.

Other performers include J. Chalmers Doane, whom Peter Luongo describes as “the father of the Canadian ukulele,” and Exit 58, a trio of former ensemble members, Kendra Simonetto (formerly Croft), Chris Parsons and Laura Day.

Simonetto said she is looking forward to seeing the old alumni members, some of whom she hasn’t seen for more than 10 years. “It will also be great fun to be back on stage playing the ukes with the ensemble,” she said.

Clearly, the LUE had a profound influence on her life.

“It taught me stage presence, public speaking and how to perform in front of live audiences of any size,” she said.

“It helped me gain confidence with people during my awkward teen years. It allowed me to explore music and fall deeper in love with the art of making music, and perhaps most importantly, it was through the ensemble that I met

lifelong friends, many of whom I remain best friends with even today,” she said.

It was also through the LUE that she came to realize a love for teaching and leadership. She is now an elementary school teacher in Langley.

Simonetto, Parsons and Day have all remained Langley residents, and their name, Exit 58, refers to the 200 Street exit from Highway 1.

Performing at the concert will be thrilling.

“For us as a group, it really represents coming ‘full circle’ from our time in the ensemble,” she said.

“It is a sort of homecoming, being back on the same stage with our own trio over 10 years later alongside Peter Luongo. So much

in our personal lives has changed (getting married, having children) that it will be really neat for our family and friends to see us back with the LUE one more time.”

Exit 58 performs throughout the Lower Mainland, at private functions, weddings, corporate functions (hosted by Rotary, Coast Capital Savings, etc.), charity fundraisers, art shows, community events such as the BC Summer Games’ torch-lighting ceremony and monthly performances at a restaurant in White Rock.

For the past 17 years, the Langley Ukulele Ensemble has been invited to perform in Hawaii, and so the anniversary concert would not be complete without

Polynesian dancers Halau Hula Ka’Uhane O Ka Pakipika, who will give a vibrant and rousing edge to the concert.

Many of the current ensemble’s members played in an invitation-only concert at the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

They have played for Rick Hansen and a host of other celebrities, and thanks to The Mighty Uke, they have followers across the globe.

Last September’s concert at the Cascades Summit Theatre in Langley was filmed, and a DVD of the concert will be on sale Saturday at the Bell Centre, along with CDs of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

Former White Rock resident and professional jazz vocalist Chris Williams is coming back to his hometown for one night only to perform a collection of songs.

Williams, who was heavily involved with Semiahmoo High School’s music program and trained with instructors David Proznick and Kevin Lee, said it’s good to be coming home.

“It feels so amazing, I haven’t been back in so long and I have changed so much since I left,” said Williams. “I have grown so much musically in the 16 years since I moved to California. I’m excited to share so much with my friends and family.”

After finding tumours on his liver, Williams was in and out of hospitals for treatment and surgery for the past two years. The strain of a large tour is not currently an option for the vocalist, but he says when deciding the one place he would perform, his hometown was his top pick.

“There was not a month in 2010 that I did not stay in the hospital,” said Williams. “I decided that this intimate concert in my hometown would be a perfect place for me – not the strain of a 20- or 30-city tour.”

Since moving to California, the award-winning musician has performed at many prestigious venues, including The Bing Crosby Estate and the Ritz Carlton Jazz Series.

Williams is currently working on an album of songs based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice – something concert-goers can look forward to hearing at the show, he said.

He will perform in White Rock at Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd., at 8 p.m. Oct. 13. For tickets, visit bluefrogstudios.com

However you define community, we call it an easy way to meet and connect with your neighbours. It’s just one of the many

reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the car show on Main Street (see below!), or one of

the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners

at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at

the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet

lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because

loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we have lots of those too!).

One of the Semiahmoo Peninsula arts community’s undoubted success stories returns again this weekend (Oct. 15 and 16).

The White Rock Artists Studio Tour is back for its 18th year, offering art lovers and browsers a chance to see recent work in the studios in which it originated, and meet the artists face-to-face – and even, in some cases, see demonstrations of techniques and works in progress.

The chain of free open houses – which also includes studios in South Surrey – is a friendly opportunity to gain insight into the artistic process, discover works that resonate on the all-important personal level, and maybe even latch onto a bargain or two along the way.

This year, 13 artists are featured in the network of open houses, including veteran artist Sheila Symington – who has just been accorded the honour of Surrey’s 2011 Civic Treasures award, which recognizes people who have made an outstanding contribution to the arts and culture in the city.

News of the award, which will be formally presented Nov. 9 at Surrey Arts Centre, came right out of the blue, Symington said.

“I think it partly recognizes the work I did with the White Rock Summer School of the Arts (which Symington ran under the auspices of the White Rock and South Surrey Art Society for 16 years),” she said.

“And also working with the society when it first started out — I wasn’t the first president, but I was pretty close.”

Symington, who has been painting full time for more than 35 years, has continued to change and evolve as an artist – and while she still paints some more traditional floral studies, her greatest delight is her abstract and semi-abstract paintings, collages and mixed-media works.

“I dabble with a little bit of this and that,” is the way she puts it, with typical understatement. “Whatever keeps my interest.”

The mixed-media works – she’s been doing them for 25 years now – feature arresting combinations of colour and texture.

Much of the incorporated elements are paper, which she stains herself,

and other found objects, such as coins and stamps.

The abstracts are her favourite, she admits.

“It’s because you don’t have anything in front of you,” she said. “You have to use your imagination and let the work talk to you, and tell you what you need.”

Symington said she usually sees around 75 people during the course of the two days of the studio tour.

“I get lots of feedback,” she said.This year’s visitors will most likely

see works from her latest series, which feature inks and washes, and are painted with a stick rather than a brush.

“It gives a different effect altogether – more lines instead of thick brushwork,” she said.

Also featured in this year’s tour will be sculpture and paintings by Joan Miriam Adams; watercolours and acrylic paintings by Nicoletta Baumeister; sculpture and jewelry by June Bloye; stone sculpture by Simon Cantin; watercolours and acrylic paintings by Carolynn Doan; pottery mosaics and public art by Connie Glover; acrylics, drawings and murals by Elizabeth Hollick; acrylics, drawings and murals by Judy Jordison; oil paintings and drawings by Kathy Macdonald; pottery by Arlene McGowan; watercolours by Jess Rice; and, oil paintings by Ann Worth.

There’s something about the com-bination of choral voices and brass that provides an added dimension to sacred music.

Maybe it’s that so many pieces – going far back into the history of church music – were created for traditional vocal and brass ensembles.

That uplifting sound will fill Good Shepherd Church, 2250 150 St., this Sunday (Oct. 16) at 3 p.m. when the Vancouver Brass Project will join forces with the Stella Maris Singers and members of the church’s young Schola Cantorum choir in the concert Exultate.

Trumpeter Al Cannon said that such collaborations – this one follows up on a concert three years ago – are an exciting part of the ensemble’s sched-ule of performances.

“We really enjoy the opportunity,” he said. “There is a lot of repertoire out there for brass that is sacred, and we continually explore that. But it’s so much better when there is a choir – it really completes the picture.”

But adding to the special nature of the concert, Good Shepherd music director Trudi Stammer noted, is the fact that most of the brass music has been specially arranged to dovetail into the choral pieces by the Van-couver Brass Project’s trombonist and principal arranger, Andrew Poirier.

“One of the pieces, Amid All The Traffic, is based on the melody Shenan-doah – and Andrew did an arrange-ment that is just beautiful,” she said.

“What’s really nice about this is you can kind of create a whole palette of colours from the music of ensembles like this,” added Cannon. “Andrew is a member of the Salvation Army Church, which has a fantastic band program.

“The audience will be hearing music that is essentially a premiere – it hasn’t been heard before.”

In addition to the brass, featuring Cannon and Poirier, trumpeter Chris Mitchell, Nick Anderson on horn, and Eric Morton on tuba, the concert will also showcase the Schola Cantorum girl’s choir.

But it’s principally another chance for the local audience to hear the growing maturity of the more than 40 voices of the adult Stella Maris concert, an auditioned ensemble that includes both voices from within the parish and others in the district, as well as voices from the community at large.

“They’re a seasoned choir – they work well with each other and they are getting more and more musically sophisticated in terms of what they sing and how they sing it,” Stammer said.

Tickets, $15 ($10 seniors and stu-dents), and are available at the door or by calling 604-531-5739.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

A 4-3 win Sunday afternoon over the Nanaimo Clippers salvaged a three-game Vancouver Island trip for the Surrey Eagles, who’d opened the road swing with back-to-back losses.

The Eagles began their Thanksgiving long weekend journey with a hard-to-swallow 2-1 overtime loss to the Cowichan Valley Capi-tals Friday night, and followed that Saturday with 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Victoria Grizzlies, who sit last in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference; the win over

Surrey was the team’s first of the season. “We weren’t very good at all Saturday,” Sur-

rey coach Matt Erhart said. “We took some penalties, they scored on

the power play… we hung around until the third period and were in it, but we just didn’t show up and play our game.”

With one point garnered from the OT loss, and two more picked up Sunday, the Eagles remained in second place in the Coastal Conference, with a record of 4-1-0-2; the Powell River Kings sit atop the standings with a 6-2 record.

“Obviously, it’s your goal to win every

game, but realistically, it would’ve been nice to come away from the weekend with four points, not three,” Erhart said.

“But still, we were able to bounce back and get a win in the third game after a loss, so we’ll take the positives from that.”

Sunday in Nanaimo, rookie defenceman D.J. Jones scored what turned out to be the winning goal for the Eagles when he notched a power-play tally at the 14:34 mark of the third period to put the Eagles up 4-2.

Nanaimo’s Kyle Kramer scored with 44 seconds remaining to bring the home team to within one goal, but Surrey held on to

win it. Michael Stenerson, Devon Toews and Sean

McGovern also tallied for the Eagles, while Robert Lindores and captain Tyler Morley chipped in with two assists apiece.

With starting goalie Andrew Hunt given the night off after back-to-back starts in Cowichan and Victoria, rookie Connor Bar-rie earned his first win of the season – and his BCHL career – against the Clippers after stopping 29 of 32 shots on net.

Rather than wear their traditional white-black-and-orange home sweaters, the

Clippers wore white-and-pink threads in honour of Breast Can-cer Awareness Month.

On Saturday, the Eagles were in a position to at least earn a point against the last-place Grizzlies – the score was tied 1-1 through 40 minutes – but Victoria exploded for three goals, two of which came on the power-play, in the final period to escape with the win.

Toews added a power-play goal of his own in the third, which temporarily tied the score 2-2 before Victoria added the final two goals of the game in the final nine minutes of the game.

Forward Brandon Tanev scored a short-handed marker in the second period to round out the scoring for Surrey.

On Friday, the Eagles’ only goal was potted by newcomer Ben Greiner, who arrived in South Surrey last week from the United States Hockey League, where he’d been trying out with Sioux City. A Minnesota native, he played last season at Shattuck-St. Mary’s prep school.

“He played well, coming in after just three days of practice and getting a couple points,” Erhart said. “And he’s only going to get better.”

The winning goal in overtime was scored by Cowichan’s Dar-rin Robak, with an assist going to Troy Paterson, a South Surrey native and son of former Eagles’

owner Ronnie Paterson. The Eagles are back on home

ice this weekend, with a Friday night tilt against the Alberni Val-ley Bulldogs and a Saturday con-test against Victoria. Puck drops for both games at 7 p.m. at South Surrey Arena.

Eagles notes■ Last week, the Eagles made a few roster moves, bringing in Greiner, while releasing Califor-nia native Zach Holstrom and Hayden Trupp. Erhart said Trupp had caught on with a junior team

in the U.S.-based North Ameri-can Hockey League.■ Also last week, Erhart – in his second year as head coach – added the title of general man-ager to his job description.

“No one in our entire orga-nization was more qualified to run the day to day managerial duties of the club,” co-owner and director of player personnel Scott Bradley said in a release. “His relationships with NCAA schools and knowledge of the league made this decision an easy choice for the Surrey Eagles.”

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

It was a busy few days for a pair of young goaltenders with Semiahmoo Peninsula connections earlier this month, as Western Hockey League teams scrambled to shore up their situations between the pipes.

On Oct. 4, 20-year-old goaltender Adam Morrison, a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum and draft pick of the Philadelphia Flyers, was dealt, along with right-winger

Levi Bews, from the Saskatoon Blades to his hometown Vancouver Giants, while another local netminder, Jon Groenheyde, was sent from the Edmonton Oil Kings to the Swift Cur-rent Broncos.

To acquire Morrison, considered one of the top goaltenders in the WHL, the Giants paid a steep price; forward

Michael Burns, defenceman Zach Hodder and a draft pick were sent to the Blades.

“It’s tough trading Michael Burns, who was a complete player for us. However, our need for an experienced goaltender has become apparent, and in order to acquire a quality player, you need to give up a qual-ity player,” said Vancouver Giants general manager Scott Bonner in a release.

For Morrison, the return home got off to a good start – he backstopped the Giants to a shootout victory against the Spokane Chiefs in his first game.

Groenheyde, meanwhile, joins his third

WHL team; he began his career with the Kamloops Blazers, before moving on to the Oil Kings last year. He played 34 games for Edmonton, and played one this year before the deal to the Broncos. He was swapped for 20-year-old forward Jordan Peddle.

“Groenheyde brings us a No. 1 goalie. He has experience, size, and it’ll give our other goalies a chance to learn a little bit,” said Swift Current head coach/GM Mark Lamb in a video posted on the team’s website. “He’ll solidify (the crease) for us.”

Meanwhile, a third netminder with ties to the Peninsula, former Surrey Eagles starter Karel St. Laurent, is also on the move, after being released from his tryout with the American Hockey League’s Chicago

Wolves. St. Laurent, who backstopped the Eagles on their playoff run last season, had been in Vancouver Canucks camp to start the pre-season but was assigned to Wolves camp last month. Despite a strong showing, he was unable to unseat either one of the Wolves’ two veteran netminders.

The Quebec native didn’t take long to find a place to play, however. He was originally planning to tend goal for the University of Quebec-Trois Rivieries, but last Thursday announced on Twitter that he was instead sticking with the pro game and heading to ECHL’s Reading Royals.

“On my way to Reading, Pennsylvania. Can’t wait to meet the guys and the organi-zation,” he wrote.

sportsClean shave

White Rock rugby star, and national team member, Adam Kleeberger – whose Viking-esque facial hair gained notoriety during Canada’s run at the Rugby World Cup – will shave off his beard next week for charity.

Kleeberger, a Semiahmoo Secondary alum who played junior rugby with the Bayside Sharks, will have his beard shorn Oct. 17 in Victoria – and CBC comedian Rick Mercer will be the one wielding the razor.

Mercer will shave off Kleeberger’s beard as part of an upcoming episode of The Rick Mercer Report. The event will also raise money for two charities. In Canada, Kleeberger is asking for donation to the Movember cause (www.movember.com), which aims to raise funds for cancer research.

And citing the warm hospitality he received during the World Cup in New Zealand, Kleeberger is also seeking donations to help the Christchurch Earthquake Relief Fund via http://donate.rugbycanada.ca/e/Shear_the_Beard

On the pitchAfter taking the long

weekend off for Thanksgiving celebrations, the Bayside Sharks men’s rugby teams return to the pitch this weekend, with the elite squad looking to rebound from

a loss in their last game. Two weeks ago, the Sharks’ top

squad lost to Abbotsford 33-19 and fell from second- to fourth-place in BC Rugby Union Elite Spray League standings.

Saturday, they’ll look to get back into the win column at UBC’s Wolfsen Fields, when they battle the UBC Thunderbirds.

The two clubs’ Div. 1 teams will also

face off Saturday, with a 1 p.m kickoff. The premier squads will hit the pitch at 2:30 p.m.

Tournament winThe Semiahmoo Scorpions had

plenty to be thankful for on the weekend, after claiming top spot

in the Richmond Thanksgiving Day Tournament.

The Scorpions won the U17/U18 division, beating the U18 Campbell River Tidal Wave 3-2 on penalty kicks in the championship game.

Earlier in the tournament, Semiahmoo lost to Campbell River, 2-1.

Earlier in the tournament, Semi beat CCB Elite 5-0, and the U18 Richmond Thunder by a 1-0 score.

Goalkeeper Amy Cornish was “a rock” between the pipes for Semaihmoo, according to coach Bob Balneaves, while a host of others also played well, including Rachelle Folk and Sarah Strachan, who chipped in with timely goals throughout the tourney.

7 OBITUARIES

MILLER, THELMA ELIZABETH

DEC 19, 1927 -- OCT 9, 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear and wonderful mother, Thelma Elizabeth Miller. Born on Dec 19, 1927 in Bristol, England she lived everyday to the fullest. She is survived by her sons, David, Nicolas and Allen as well as four grandchil-dren and three great grand-children, all of whom she loved dearly. Her journey through life also touched the hearts of many other people especially those who were ill and in hos-pital where she worked pas-sionately as Registered Nurse.Her incredible career began as a teenager in England during the last year of WW2 where she served in the WAAF plot-ting both enemy and friendly aircraft. She spoke of these years as the most exciting of her life. Following the war, she decided to train as a nurse working in a tropical diseases hospital. She achieved very high grades and was given the title of a Registered Nurse in Britain. In the 1950’s, our par-ents decided to start a new life in Canada where she carried on helping people in New-foundland, Ontario and British Columbia, working at Burnaby General Hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital & the Royal Columbian Hospital. Those who worked with her will no doubt remem-ber her devotion to the job.Her passing has left a hole in our hearts that will never truly heal. She will be missed dearly.A Celebration of Life open house will be held in the near future and we would ask those interested in attending to call 604-541-0258 or email:[email protected]
