‘Th e wind acts like a vortex on rail cars’environmentally benign glue-like substance that creates a plastic-like sealant on top of the coal,” she said. “Each gondola is then re-sprayed approximately half way to the coast at our re-spray facility at Tappen, B.C.” Th e sealant forms a hardened crust that prevents the product from shift ing during transport.

Th e practice, she said, prevents the product from shift ing and has “virtually eliminated the coal dust.”

While CP was still trying to pin-point the train, she stressed,

“We take the issue very seriously. We are in constant contact with our supply partners,” she said. “At this point we don’t know what spe-

cifi cally happened.”Park, meanwhile, is surprised

that none of the train’s crew mem-bers raised the alarm.

“In my opinion there’s no way the operator and crew couldn’t see what was going on,” he said.

Since making his inquiry, Park hasn’t had a response from the B.C. Environment Ministry.

Metro Vancouver, meanwhile, told him they don’t deal with coal dust on federal rail lines.

“It’s the usual bureaucratic pass the buck, it seems,” he said.

Surrey’s Bob Campbell is a past president of the West Panorama Ridge Ratepayers Association who’s been working to reduce the impacts of freight trains on local

residents for two decades, from train whistles to coal dust.

He suspects the coal clouds Park captured with his camera phone may have been created through a combination of high winds and dry weather.

While the number of complaints about coal dust has been consis-tent over the year, the number of trains going through the area has increased.

“It’s been a constant issue,” he said.

It’s worse when there are windy and dry conditions.

“When you get wind across the top of the car, it acts like a vortex,” Campbell said. Even empty trains returning from Delta contain

coal, he added, because they aren’t washed out aft er they’re unloaded.

Th e dust settles on decks and cars along the rail route.

“It’s a pretty obvious problem, for sure,” Campbell said.

Health impacts are a concern.“A lot of the railways say it’s not

a big problem,” he said. Diesel par-ticulate in train exhaust is even more troublesome because the particle size is much smaller, going deeper into the lungs.

“Th e bottom line is, this stuff is bad for us.”

While it’s not known if the cloudy coal train was a CN train, Emily Hamer, regional manager for CN’s public aff airs, said coal produced, shipped and managed

in B.C. is safe – it’s an inert mineralthat’s not considered a dangerous or hazardous material by Trans-port Canada and is safely handledby workers.

“As coal is transported, steps are taken to ensure the coal remains in the railcars and on the terminals,” she told Th e Reporter in an email.“Rail cars are sprayed at the mineswith a coating to create a hardenedcrust on top of the coal. Th e termi-nals use the best available proventechnology with environmental management systems and moni-toring programs in place.”

Members of the public may di-rect their concerns to CN’s PublicInquiry Line at 1-888-888-5909 orvia email at [email protected].

Lyle MacMillan (MacMillan Tucker & Mackay) announced he will be stepping down, but plans to remain involved in an advisory role.

MacMillan, who turns 80 this week, has prac-ticed law in Cloverdale for more than 40 years. His community involvement includes serving on the Cloverdale Board of Trade/Chamber of Com-merce, the Cloverdale BIA, the Rotary Club, Surrey Memorial Hospital Board, Cloverdale Legion and more.

Current vice president Rob Paterson said Mac-Millan’s presence on the Cloverdale BIA board will be missed.

“He puts a lot of time and eff ort into the BIA,” Pa-terson said, leading a round of applause. “He cares alot about our community.”

Members agreed to adopt a motion to renew the Cloverdale BIA agreement for another fi ve-year-pe-riod beginning in March 2015 – a recommendationthat will be forwarded to Surrey city council for ap-proval. Th e Cloverdale BIA is funded by the City of Surrey through a tax levied on more approximately 280 businesses located within the membership areato help promote the business district as a whole.

slated for Saturday, Aug. 2 in the historic town centre, starting at noon at the Clova. (For more information and to register, please contact the box offi ce when it’s open.)

To the editor;Th ank you to the many people who have

reportedly been calling in to the BCSPCA to report pets left in vehicles during the current hot spell. All animals, from our household pets to cows and other farm animals, and even the wild ones in nature need caring humans to represent them. I’m heartened by people who will take the time to be a voice for animals.

You might label me an ‘animal lover’ or an ‘activist’, but I don’t consider myself separate from any other caring person. I have taken

to heart the BCSPCA motto, “Speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves,” and I’ve made a commitment to do what I can in that regard. My impact may not be overwhelm-ing, but when it is joined to a larger community of people who are willing to play a part, I can make a diff erence. Humans and animals alike are thinking, feel-ing beings that I’m sure you agree deserve to be treated with respect.

We can all play a part in animal welfare

by speaking up in reporting possible abuse, such as with the animals in sweltering ve-

hicles, or by making a donation to an animal welfare organiza-tion, or donating our time in the same way, or even by just writing a letter to our local paper to help bring awareness to an animal issue. I implore everyone to do something to help animals. Th ey

really need our voices now more than ever.Jacqueline HohmannSurrey

Trustee breaks her silenceover school strike issues

To Minister Fassbender and Premier Clark:

I am writing this letter to you as a trustee in Surrey and not as a direction from the Surrey Board of Education.

In the statement issued by the Ministry on July 2, it was stated that “BCPSEA is ready to meet whenever BCTF is ready to commit to a fair and aff ordable settlement.”

It is not just the settlement that has hampered many districts, including Surrey, that has put students parents, teach-ers, staff and schools in the situa-tion they are in now.

Our Board recently wrote to you requesting that the previ-ous structure of the BCPSEA be reinstated. Surrey has always re-mained silent in the public and always worked behind the scenes trying to fi nd solutions.

At this time, I cannot be si-lent any longer. I recently have sent two emails about my con-cerns about a mediator, prior to one trying to be appointed, and my personal concern as a trustee over class size and composition. I have not received a reply to either email. Th e issues we are all facing today is the continual cutbacks of funding that districts have had to deal with. Th e underfunding has caused extreme hardship not just for parents, staff , teachers but mostly students.

As a parent of four children who all graduated in Surrey I never had to worry about the

safety or unavailability of ser-vices, so it is a great concern as being a trustee that I cannot do the job I was elected to do.

We would not be in this tug of war of BCTF and the govern-ment if schools were adequately funded to start with.

Th is aff ects the number of CUPE staff , SEAs, child care workers, specialists, helping teachers, aboriginal workers, counsel-lors, etc. that we as a board need to hire.

Th ese are vital workers who assist teachers in the classroom and al-low them to do the job they have been professionally trained to do, but with cutbacks, important po-sitions have been cut.

As Surrey being one of the very few districts with highly in-creasing enrolment, the situation is even compounded. You are aware of the overcrowding and the cost of portables that we have had to take from our budget that directly takes funding out of the classroom.

By not funding for schools for so many years, Surrey has had to rely on portables and it has been a tremendous cost and we have met with you and the MLAs about all of the problems that go along with this so I won’t go over all of those concerns.

I ask you as a parent of the community, and as a trustee to not only earnestly try to meet and negotiate with the BCTF and I am asking the same from the BCTF, but to consider the eff ects

that years of underfunding of the education system has caused and to remedy this. I fully understand that we have been told there is no money, but children are our future and this needs to be ad-dressed.

As suggested in a previous email, visiting a classroom for a full day would give you a fi rst hand look at how classroom size and composition aff ects the classroom and the job teachers and staff deal with everyday.

Again as stated in the previous email earlier I do appreciate you visiting our district on various occasions but actually sitting in a classroom for a full day would give you a very accurate picture of what teachers, staff , CUPE, admin, and students have to deal with.

Th e board has done the very best we can to alleviate some pressures but more funding is needed to give Surrey students schools and needed services they deserve.

Th ank you for taking the time to read this email. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions. As stated at the beginning, this email is from me as a trustee, not the board, but I am sure they may feel the same about the underfunding, porta-ble costs and how the dispute has aff ected staff , parents, teachers, CUPE, but more importantly the students.

Construction au poste frontalier d’AldergroveEn avril 2014, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé qu’il comptait apporter

des améliorations à l’infrastructure du point d’entrée (PDE) d’Aldergrove.

Dans le cadre des améliorations, on compte ajouter des voies d’inspection

primaire supplémentaires et une voie réservée à NEXUS en plus de

construire une plus grande installation de traitement des voyageurs et un

entrepôt d’examen du secteur commercial. Ces améliorations font partie du

projet de réaménagement d’Aldergrove qui vient appuyer l’engagement de

l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) à l’égard de

l’agrandissement et la modernisation des points d’entrée dans la région de

Cascade Gateway.

Fermeture de l’avenue Zero

À compter du 28 juillet 2014, la circulation sera déviée pendant le

réaménagement du PDE d’Aldergrove et pendant la fermeture temporaire de

CLOVERDALE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The voice of business in the community of CloverdaleJULY 2014 VOICEAs summer is upon us we are gearing up for the blueberry festival in August, the weekly night market and all the other great events in Cloverdale. The hanging baskets on main street are beautiful and the shopping is fantastic. Come and see the great deals that our merchants have on the most picturesque main street in British Columbia.

AdvocacyWe are actively advocating for improvements on the old Safeway site and the Fair Grounds as the lack of advancement by the City of Surrey and their wholly owned development corporation are neglectful and downright insulting to our community. Their current 10+ year plan to develop the old Safeway site after more than 10 years of neglect means that we are expected to live with a vacant mess for 20 years on the largest single Highway exposure we have. This is not acceptable and any private developer would be forced to clean up the mess and address these issues, but the City seems to think they play by their own set of rules. The fairgrounds are the largest single piece of development lands in Cloverdale......again owned by the City and sat mostly dormant for 20 + years. We have lost most of the conventions when Abbotsford built the Tradex and for 15 years the City has claimed to be working on building a Trade and Convention Center. It’s time that the people of Cloverdale stand up and tell the Politicians and the City enough is enough and that we are not going to accept our tax dollars being taken and used in City Center. We’ve asked for the City to provide a breakdown of tax revenue and expenses for Cloverdale, but surprise that they haven’t provided it. The City works for the taxpayers and all taxpayers have a right to demand access to information. Transparency is not just a word that should be used when trying to get elected it should be practiced by the City every single day. Board MembersIf you have ever considered working on a Chamber Board this is your chance. Our elections are in October (right before the municipal elections) and we want interested members to become more involved now. We are working on a Strategic Partnership that will substantially increase our advocacy power and force the city to become transparent. We need strong business people to join us and add to our voice.

Jobs for British Columbiansremain government’s priority

By Su r rey -C l ove rda le MLA S tephan ie Cad ieux

There has been a lot of interest across the province in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

This is a plan introduced by our government to re-engineer our education system and make sure it serves British Columbians for generations to come.

Students will still get a well-rounded education but, by focusing on where the jobs are, we can create a smoother transition into the workforce.

It’s about spending taxpayer money smarter, rather than simply spending more.

The plan will affect students from kindergarten through to post-secondary, and help ensure our youth are fi rst in line for B.C jobs. The goal is to focus training dollars and programs on jobs in demand. We must also change attitudes about trades to get young people involved earlier in technical training.

We expect one million jobs will need to be fi lled by 2022 due to growth of an LNG industry as well as other sectors. We know there will be a high demand for skilled workers — almost eight in 10 jobs will require post-secondary training and almost half of all jobs will be in trades and technical occupations.

B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training

To help all British Columbians realize their potential, we’ve developed an action-plan that clears a path for young people allowing them to transition easily from school to the workplace.

Our plan is data driven and outcome driven, which means it will evolve as the province’s economy evolves.

This year, we’re investing $160 million and, in four years, that will jump to $400 million per year. Those fi gures are on top of the $7.5 billion our government currently invests annually in education and training.

People already in the workforce who want to change careers will also benefi t from the Blueprint. By working with industry, we provide opportunities for people to learn on the job or get needed certifi cation.

Jobs for British Columbiansremain government’s priority

By Su r rey -C l ove rda le MLA S tephan ie Cad ieux

There has been a lot of interest across the province in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

This is a plan introduced by our government to re-engineer our education system and make sure it serves British Columbians for generations to come.

Students will still get a well-rounded education but, by focusing on where the jobs are, we can create a smoother transition into the workforce.

It’s about spending taxpayer money smarter, rather than simply spending more.

The plan will affect students from kindergarten through to post-secondary, and help ensure our youth are fi rst in line for B.C jobs. The goal is to focus training dollars and programs on jobs in demand. We must also change attitudes about trades to get young people involved earlier in technical training.

We expect one million jobs will need to be fi lled by 2022 due to growth of an LNG industry as well as other sectors. We know there will be a high demand for skilled workers — almost eight in 10 jobs will require post-secondary training and almost half of all jobs will be in trades and technical occupations.

B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training

To help all British Columbians realize their potential, we’ve developed an action-plan that clears a path for young people allowing them to transition easily from school to the workplace.

Our plan is data driven and outcome driven, which means it will evolve as the province’s economy evolves.

This year, we’re investing $160 million and, in four years, that will jump to $400 million per year. Those fi gures are on top of the $7.5 billion our government currently invests annually in education and training.

People already in the workforce who want to change careers will also benefi t from the Blueprint. By working with industry, we provide opportunities for people to learn on the job or get needed certifi cation.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEBy Brian Young, Cloverdale Chamber President

Page 8: Cloverdale Reporter, July 17, 2014

A hearse with historyBy Jennifer Lang

Some might view it as a macabre fascination, but for Eddie Stringer and

his car-collecting son, a classic hearse from British Columbia is the ultimate automobile ac-quisition.

Th e Stringers, who live in the U.K., are appealing to Clover-dale Reporter readers for more information on their 1960 Ca-dillac Eureka.

Th e distinctive hearse starred in a constellation of made-in-B.C. movies and took top billing in a local protest over a political decision that haunts car, truck and aviation buff s to this day.

Eddie, a professional pho-tographer and theatre pro-moter, and his youngest son, James, a jeweller, are deter-mined to fi nd out everything they can about the hearse.

Th ey’ve contacted former owners and others with a con-nection to the “somewhat famous” Cadillac, turning turned to photographers, fi lm producers, cameramen and newspaper editors in a bid to dig up the missing pieces in the creepy car’s history.

James has owned about 15 American cars, including a Cadillac Seville Bustle Back he bought at age 22, his fi rst col-lectible automobile.

A few months back, James sold his “lovely” ‘79 Trans Am, intending to use the money to build a jewellery workshop in the garage.

“But,” says Eddie, “James be-ing James and his craving for American classics, he managed to fi nd this 1960 Cadillac Eu-reka hearse for sale near Van-couver.”

Every story has a beginning, but the Cadillac’s fi rst 15 years aft er leaving the factory fl oor in late 1960 are shrouded in mystery, say the Stringers, who have traced its ownership back as far as 1975.

It was originally all black, but a later paint job saw the sides decked out in silver with a black roof – which is how it appeared in the 1996 movie Kissed, an independent B.C.-made fi lm about a funeral home worker with an unusual love life.

It was re-painted all black – the shade it is now – before appearing in 2000’s Mr. Rice’s Secret (starring David Bowie).

Th e Stringer’s quest for de-

tails turned up a 1970s news-paper clipping from the Merritt Herald which shows proprietor John Bann outside the Merritt Funeral Home. “It describes the car as the pride of his fl eet,” says Eddie.

Th e funeral business was sold, and, according to Eddie, the new owner, Peter Wright, said there wasn’t a Cadillac on the books at the time of the sale. “So, the mystery there is rather fascinating,” says Ed-die. “Maybe it was sold by John Bann, or maybe he kept it.”

He’s tracked down Bann’s granddaughter but is presently awaiting a response.

Meanwhile, thanks to a me-ticulous record-keeper, the Stringers know that Surrey res-ident Marcel Hill bought the car in late 1989 from Howard’s Distributors.

In 1993, he sold it Vancouver resident Rolf Eipper, who kept a journal during his ownership until 2006. Now 79, Eipper helped the pair nail down much of the history of the car, including helping them dis-cover the name of the previous owner, Hill.

Th e fi n tail hearse belonged to Hill when it led a rally that attracted 2,000 protesters in Cloverdale who turned out to oppose the provincial govern-ment’s decision to shutter the B.C. Transportation Museum.

An undated MetroValley News Service clipping (“Clo-verdale rallies to save auto museum”) shows the hearse in front of the museum.

Th e Eureka’s Hollywood North era ranges from 1989 to the early 2000s, when it was rented out to movie produc-tions such as Cadence (with Martin and Charlie Sheen), IT,

Deliver Th em From Evil, Kissed, Mr. Rice’s Secret, Suspect Behav-iour, Riding the Bullet and Hap-py Gilmour – the immortal golf comedy starring Adam Sandler – to name a few.

Th e Stringers also want to fi ll in the blanks between 2006 and 2014’ the car’s most recent chapter is murky.

Today, the limo has 48,000 miles on it. “Not bad for 54 years of age,” Eddie allows.

“Did it stand still til we bought it?” he wonders. “We think this is very likely.”

He says a Pitt Meadows resi-dent bought the car in 2006 but that is not the man who sold it to James in 2014.

Th e hearse had been in stor-

age for a long time before the Stringers bought it. Th ey had itshipped out of Seattle, WA, tothe U.K. – a journey that wasinterrupted by the port strikeearlier this year.

Th e Caddy arrived on May 12, but it was not quite in thecondition advertised. Ratherthan being in near-pristine condition, it turned out thefl oors were rotten, the metalwas due for a respray and thecar needed “serious renovation and restoration.”

It’s now in “hearse hospital having new fl oors put in it,” says Eddie.

Understandably, communi-cations with the most recentowner are strained – forcingtheir search into an untimely dead end.

“We just want to know itsentire history – like, it’s life in the funeral trade up till Marcel bought it,” says Eddie, credit-ing both Hill and Eipper, espe-cially, with getting the wheelsrolling on their cross-Atlantic research project.

“What a fantastic character,” Eddie says of Eipper. “He is a UFO hunter, meteorite-fi nder,crop circle photographer – such a magical character.”

TransLink’s Compass card rollout pushed back further

By Jeff NagelTransLink is further delaying the full

launch of its long-promised Compass pay-ment card until at least late fall due to poor performance of the mobile card readers on buses.

Offi cials cited inadequate speed and re-liability for passengers boarding buses in holding off on any further rollout of the $194-million system, which is far behind schedule and over budget.

TransLink chief operating offi cer Doug Kelsey said the validators on buses are fre-quently taking longer than the target 0.3 seconds to read a card – sometimes “a cou-ple of seconds.”

Even worse, the validators are misread-ing cards more than eight per cent of the time, compared to TransLink’s expectation of “far below one per cent.”

Th at means huge numbers of passengers would oft en be overcharged if the system rolled out as is.

“If it gives you a misread and you haven’t tapped out correctly, that’s going to take money out of your bank account – you’re charged for three zones instead of one,” Kelsey said. “Envision if you had an eight per cent error rate on groceries scanned at the supermarket.”

But Kelsey insisted he remains confi dent smart card contractor Cubic Transporta-tion Systems will solve the outstanding problems.

“I believe we’re doing the right thing,” he said. “I’m not disappointed. I’d be very dis-appointed if we implemented this before we

were ready.”Th e reliability problems are limited to the

5,000 mobile validators on buses – Kelsey said readers on SkyTrain, SeaBus and West Coast Express are generally performing well.

But he said a broad rollout can’t happen until the cards work properly on the buses as well.

“I won’t roll out West Coast Express and the other segments until they solve this. It really has an impact on how people move around the network.”

TransLink had hoped to switch West Coast Express passengers over to use of the

Compass card by late summer, but that hasalso been delayed without a new target date.

TransLink says the next Compass cardproject update won’t be until October.

Once WCE passengers are using Com-pass, Kelsey said the the cards could roll outnext to students with U-Passes, then three-zone transit pass users followed by others.

“We’re segmenting the rollout. You im-plement one, you take a pause. It’s not arace.”

Kelsey said TransLink’s go-slow ap-proach has also worked well in resolvingother issues.

Th e launch was previously paused lastyear over concerns about the web interfacewhere passengers can load more money on their cards. Kelsey said the website troubleshave been fi xed with just minor tweaks re-maining.

Th ere’s no indication when the accompa-nying fare gates – which were to have beenoperating by fall of 2013 – will be closed and begin holding back fare evaders who don’t pay.

TransLink is also continuing to sell Fare-Saver prepaid tickets indefi nitely –  it hadintended to discontinue them last January as part of a broad Compass rollout.

Asked if the smart card project was stuck or if there was any potential of abandoning Cubic as the provider, Kelsey said no andnoted TransLink has a long relationship with Cubic, which also runs SkyTrain ticket vending machines.

“Th is will be successful.”– Black Press
