Delta police officers floodedTsawwassen last Friday afternoonin search of a missing boy.

Acting on a tip that the car

believed to be involved in theabduction of three-year-oldKienan Hebert of Sparwood wasseen in Tsawwassen, police con-trolled traffic at all major chokepoints and even searched a B.C.ferry.

The Coastal Celebration wasturned around and returned to thedock in Tsawwassen. The ferryresumed its trip to VancouverIsland about half an hour laterafter nothing suspicious wasfound on board.

Delta police spokespersonA/Sgt. Paul Eisenzimmer saidofficers maintained a perimeterin the South Delta area for abouttwo hours before calling off thesearch.

Hebert, who was taken from his

home last Tuesday evening, wasreturned, reportedly unharmed,early Sunday morning.

His suspected abductor, 46-year-old Randall Hopley, wascaptured yesterday morning inAlberta.

It’s time Delta council becamean active participant and allowedhis development proposal for theSouthlands to move forward forpublic input.

That’s the message CenturyGroup president Sean Hodginsgave during a presentation to civicpoliticians Monday.

The council chamber waspacked as Hodgins went over theattributes of the scaled-down pro-posal he first presented earlier thissummer. He also delivered a stern

message that once he submits anapplication, it’s time to allow thepeople to have their say at a for-mal public hearing.

Saying he was expecting acouncil report on his earlier pre-sentation, Hodgins noted he sim-ply wants to know what processwill be followed and what kind oftimeline he can expect.

“I feel I’ve lived up to theobligations in terms of bringingsomething before you and I hopedthere would be recommendationswhether to go forward,” he said.

“I want to understand withclarity how council is going to

deal with it and I think the publicwants to know how council willdeal with it. I just think the com-munity wants to know,” Hodginssaid.

Responding to several recentletters from residents, Delta staffnoted they weren’t “meeting orworking” with Century Groupuntil a formal development appli-cation is submitted.

CAO George Harvie said oncethe application is submitted, andhe was expecting Hodgins to doso in short order, several thingshave to be sorted out, includ-ing how the consultation process

should unfold, as well as recom-mendations on what Delta shoulddo with the agricultural landHodgins is willing to hand over.

He said the earliest a councilreport could be ready is mid-October, but it wouldn’t containrecommendations to consider pre-liminary approval just yet.

Community planning directorTom Leathem pointed out a publicconsultation process was also heldprior to the Delsom Estates hous-ing proposal going to council forpreliminary approval.

The Southlands is zonedagricultural but was pulledout of the Agricultural LandReserve 30 years ago.

The Century Grouphas owned the 500-plusacre property, borderedby Boundary Bay Roadand 56th Street, sinceTsawwassen DevelopmentLands defaulted on a mort-gage not long after a con-

troversial housing proposalin the late 1980s failed. TheTDL plan would have cov-ered almost the entire sitewith houses.

The current proposal,a scaled-back version ofa 1,900 housing unit planHodgins pitched severalyears ago, contains 950housing units with 80 percent of the land, more than

400 acres, transferred toDelta. The housing wouldbe built on the area near-est Boundary Bay with thepoorest soil quality, saidHodgins.

According to a brochuredistributed by his companythis summer, the center-piece of the latest plan “isa vibrant Market Squarewith walkable streets thatconnect agriculture withthe larger community. TheSouthlands neighbourhood

will include a mix of cot-tage, townhome and apart-ment-style housing.”

The brochure statesthe new homes are key tofunding the infrastructureneeded to improve theagricultural capability ofthe remaining land, includ-ing a drainage system thatconnects to Delta’s pumpstation.

On Monday, Harvienoted the latest proposalis vastly different than the

original scheme, which hesaid wouldn’t have evenmade it to the preliminaryapproval stage.

Coun. Bruce McDonald,who chaired theTsawwassen Area PlanCommittee, said it wasfrustrating his committeecouldn’t discuss specif-ics when it came to theSouthlands, when in factthat’s just what it shouldhave done.

Hodgins said more

than once Monday thatindustrial agriculture wasan option he was lookingat for the land if his pro-posal isn’t approved, buthe didn’t want to elaboratewhen asked by Coun. ScottHamilton if he had anythingspecific in mind.

A development appli-cation by the CenturyGroup would also haveto be approved by MetroVancouver because the siteis within the Green Zone.

SOUTHLANDS from page 1

Former Delta Teachers’Association president ValWindsor has announced hercandidacy for Delta schoolboard, saying trustees havebeen silent about the realneeds of Delta classroomsfar too long.

“I have been an activeparticipant in the educa-tion system from almost allsides of the teachers’ desk,”said Windsor, “and I believethat the experience I havehad from my various rolesas parent, teacher, presidentof the local teachers’ associ-ation and councillor on theB.C. College of Teacherswill enhance the service Ican provide to Delta as aschool trustee.”

The main issue Windsorintends to be an advocatefor Delta students is the realcost of funding for studentswith special needs.

“Delta residents do notrealize that the provincialgovernment does not fullypay for the costs of support-ing students with specialneeds,” said Windsor. “Astudent requiring full-timeeducation assistant support,for example, receives only$36,000 in funding whilethe real cost is consider-ably higher once the costof benefits and pensionsare added to a salary; thisfigure does not include theteacher and other special-ists’ salaries.

“I fully support integra-tion of students with specialneeds in classrooms. Theministry, however, needs

to pay school districtslike Delta the full cost ofsupporting vulnerable stu-dents.”

The downloading ofextra costs to boards bythe provincial governmentis another concern forWindsor. For the govern-ment to expect boards tobalance their budgets afterthe school year beginsmeans further cuts need tobe made to student supportand programs.

She said Delta elementa-ry schools cut most of theirmusic programs severalyears ago in order to bal-ance the budget. Windsoralso said no school in Deltahas a full-time teacher/librarian.

She’s also concerned thatall Delta schools are forcedto embark on fundraisingto pay for basics. Someschools, however, havediffering abilities to raisefunds, which she said leadsto “have” and “have not”school populations.

Students attendingEnglish Bluff Elementarygot a little extra vacationtime last week when theTsawwassen school wasforced to close Friday dueto a watermain break.

Cathy Hussey, who’s thenew principal at EnglishBluff, said a municipalwatermain broke around8 a.m., prompting repaircrews to shut off the watersupply to the school untilthe line was fixed.

The watermain was notnear the school and therewas no damage to the facil-ity.

The school tried to getthe word out but some par-ents began arriving withtheir children only to betold classes were cancelled.

Hussey said the parentswere understanding and themorning went smoothly.

Classes resumed Mondaymorning.

Hussey joked the stu-dents “looked very sad”when told they had a longweekend.

Both the Delta police and fire departments responded toa suspicious fire in Ladner Monday night.

Just before 11:30 p.m., a man reported his black GMCpickup truck was fully engulfed by fire and he saw some-one fleeing the scene.

The Delta fire department put out the fire in the 5000-block of Linden Drive and the vehicle was seized forforensic examination.

There is a new facerunning the show atTsawwassen DentureClinic.

Stacy Whitman took overthe operation from longtimeowner Erna Swan earlierthis summer.

Whitman,who gradu-ated fromthe denturistprogram atVancouverCommunity College in2009 and got her licence in2010, is not new to manyTsawwassen Denture Cliniccustomers. She startedworking with Swan back in2008 when she was still astudent.

As Whitman learned theropes and got some practi-cal experience in the field,Swan started preparing forretirement. And, at the endof July, Whitman boughtthe clinic and took over.

“It’s been a great transi-tion,” she said.

Tsawwassen Denture

Clinic offers a full rangeof services — from repairsto precision dentures andimplants.

Whitman, who lives inRichmond, got into thebusiness right out of highschool, working with her

boy-friend’sgrand-father, adenturistwith an

office in Vancouver.Whitman is a member of

the Denturist Association ofB.C. and is registered withthe College of Denturists ofB.C. She won the DenturistsAssociation of B.C.’sGeorge Connolly scholar-ship two years in a row, aswell as other awards.

Whitman said the expe-rience of taking over thebusiness has been bothexciting and stressful.

Tsawwassen DentureClinic is located at 1222-56th St. Whitman can becontacted at 604-943-7818.

Valuablelesson inHST fiasco

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

I’m not sure governments necessarilylearn the lessons provided by history, butthe recent HST fiasco offers a valuableteaching point.

As much as it was, and continues tobe, maligned, the harmonized sales taxis not some evil plan hatched by GordonCampbell as a parting shot to BritishColumbians. Three Maritime prov-inces have had the HST for more than adecade, while Ontario implemented it onthe same day B.C. did last year.

No one likes taxes, but given it’s inexistence in four other provinces at themoment, and there’s some sound eco-nomic thinking behind it, it’s not incon-ceivable it could have also been intro-duced here without all the uproar.

That’s where the lesson part comes in.The result of the province-wide mail-in referendum was so close that it waslikely the introduction factor, not the prosand cons of the tax itself, that tipped thebalance against the HST and prompted areturn to the old PST/GST model.

I heard many people say they didn’tfeel strongly one way or the other aboutthe tax — particularly after the promisedreduction to 10 per cent made the finan-cial impact a wash for most — but wereangered by the way the Liberals wentabout bringing it in.

In Ontario, the government announcedin March of 2009 it would be introduc-ing the HST the following summer, butduring the B.C. election campaign twomonths later, Liberals rejected any sug-gestions they’d be doing the same. Withinweeks of being re-elected, the HST wassuddenly on the table.

In hindsight, this sleight of hand ulti-mately doomed the tax.

The planned reduction to 10 per centwent a long way to propping up pitifulapproval numbers for the HST, so whencoupled with the benefits that busi-ness, and ultimately the economy as awhole, would realize, it appeared PremierChristy Clark just might pull this one outof the fire.

That turned out to be the case in someridings, including Delta South, but thetax ultimately fell when 54.73 per centof those province-wide rejected it. Therelatively narrow defeat has opened thedoor to much second-guessing, includingwhat could have been done differentlyto convince just five per cent of BritishColumbians to vote the other way.

You don’t have to look too deep tofind an answer to that one: Don’t lie to usand don’t foist something onto us with-out at least a little consultation.

In the end, it’s really just a lesson incommon sense, but don’t be disappointedif governments at all levels don’t end upheeding it.

What do Delta area plans andrequests for information fromDelta taxpayers have in common?Apparently quite a bit.

At Monday’s Delta councilmeeting, several residents askedwhy they were being faced witha development proposal on theSouthlands, just months after aTsawwassen Area Plan processresulted in the Southlands beingretained in an agricultural designa-tion.

Mayor Lois Jackson’s answerand the ensuing silence from coun-cillors should be of grave concernto not only residents of Ladner andNorth Delta, who are just embark-ing on their own area plan, buta warning to all B.C. taxpayers.According to Jackson, they were“just following normal process.”

What’s the point in being

engaged in public consultation thatour elected officials are not expect-ed to honour?

What residents learned was,that after hundreds of thousandsof taxpayer dollars were expended,two years of endless meetings, anexpensive poll and a tremendousamount of confusion, the new planwas a waste of time. What is thepoint if all that public discourse isa huge waste of capital and humanresources?

I had a conversation with aCentury employee, Bob Ransford,at the recent Southlands informa-tion meeting, who informed methat what Century required was azoning change, pure and simple.

None of the plans being givenat the “presentation” were guaran-teed. Like our area plan, nothingis written in stone and could bechanged at anytime after approval,provided, of course, the developerstays within the guidelines of thenew zoning.

At least he was honest in tellingme that and I did note that we onlysaw a development concept, notan application, being given at thecouncil meeting.

While Delta spends thousands onarea plans it can disregard, it appar-

ently doesn’t have the resources todeal with requests made throughthe Freedom of Information andPrivacy Act.

One would think the goings onbetween staff members, politiciansand developers would be public.Nope. In some cases the publicis being forced to pay upwards of$500 before Delta will providewhat should be readily availablepublic information.

Surprisingly, there have beena couple of residents who havepaid the money, only to have theirrequests stalled. I have been con-tacted by other residents who areunable to pay upfront for theirchance to take a look at what’sgoing on in Delta.

There is undoubtedly a costincurred by Delta, and other armsof government, to provide this kindof information, but I can’t help butwonder whether the fees chargedand the delays imposed are tacticsintended to foil such requests.

Why is it that Delta is willing toexpend loads of taxpayer time anddollars on public consultations itcan, and does, ignore but when aresident requests information Deltapleads poverty, forcing our engagedresidents to be kept in the dark?

What’s the point of area plansif they’re not being followed?

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Pedestrians hit

along Trunk Road,Sept. 7

Having read about yetanother couple of pedestri-ans being hit I find I can’thold my tongue any longer.

First let me send myheartfelt sympathy to thefamilies of those who werehurt or killed in those twotragic and avoidable acci-dents.

That being said, forsome time, while drivingand walking around, I havebeen conducting my ownprivate poll on how manypeople actually look beforestepping off the curb orcontinue to look for trafficwhile crossing the street.

I am shocked to find thatapproximately eight out of

10 do not look left or right,especially at a crosswalk,and furthermore if they didlook, they stop looking forapproaching cars once theyare in the crosswalk.

The amazing thingis there seems to be nospecific demographic ofpeople; it is the old, young,parents with kids, male andfemale alike.

At this point I’m suresome of you pedestriansout there are thinking youhave the right-of-way sowhy should you bother tolook.

The answer is simple:You may have the right-of-way, but you will be theone who will be hurt orkilled, not the driver.

As a car driver andmotorcyclist for many

years, I can tell you thereare a lot of distracted,obnoxious, aggressive andjust plain bad drivers outon the road and I wouldnot trust any driver to lookout for my safety or atanytime assume they cansee me.

The best way to preventbeing hit (in a vehicle,walking or as a motorcy-clist) is to always assumethe other driver does notsee you or even cares thatyou have the right-of-way.That means looking before,and especially during,crossing any roadway.

I don’t know about you,but I would choose to havemy right-of-way takenfrom me and be alive overbeing dead right any day.

Jim Rogers

Don’t put faith in driversEditor:

I have lived inTsawwassen for over 20years now and recently Ihave noticed there are birdguns going off in the fieldsbordering Tsawwassen.

I live on 14th Avenueand hear them every dayin the early mornings andevenings, and they are quiteloud. I used to enjoy sittingon my balcony after work

and relaxing with a book,but I can no longer do thatdue to the incessant bang-ing coming from the fields.

I have an anxiety dis-order due to an accidentin Ladner a few years agoand this constant bangingaffects that. Also, my pet isnow scared to join me onthe balcony because of thisnoise.

What is our town coming

to when we can no longerenjoy our simple pleasures?

I hope all residents ofTsawwassen that are both-ered by this invasion to ourpeace and quiet will put aletter of complaint into themayor’s office.

We should not allowthis noise disturbance tobecome a fixture of ourfuture in Tsawwassen.

Chrissie Harvey

Incessant banging from farm fieldsdisturbing peace & quiet in Tsaw.

Editor:The recent referendum

regarding the 12 per centHST versus GST/PST (fiveper cent + seven per cent)was incomplete.

It didn’t provide us withthe considerable cost con-sequences to stopping theHST and restarting theGST/PST of over $1.7 bil-lion.

My personal opinionis the HST rate could belowered to nine or 10 percent and harsh applicationseliminated.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Premier in town forround-table, Aug. 24

As one of the peopleinvited to attend the recentround-table meeting withPremier Christy Clark, Iwas surprised to see thereaction of some of yourreaders and thought I mightshare my first-hand per-spective of what actuallytranspired.

I was invited to attendthis round-table in myrole as volunteer chairof the Delta Chamber ofCommerce and did so withtwo of my fellow boardmembers and a member ofthe chamber’s transportationcommittee.

We had an opportunityto convey to the premiersome of the interests andconcerns of our memberbusinesses, including theSouth Fraser PerimeterRoad and our long-held

position on the requirementfor interchanges not inter-sections; the much-neededreplacement of the GeorgeMassey Tunnel, its feed-ers and overpasses, and animproved critical incidentresponse plan in the inter-im; along with the cham-ber’s annual letter to thefederal government request-ing an immediate resolutionto the siltation problem onthe Fraser River, anotherone of our community’s keytransportation corridors,and the required dredgingof its main and secondarychannels.

As noted in your story,along with the chamberwere representatives of theTsawwassen First Nation,Corporation of Delta, Deltaschool board, Burns BogConservation Society, DeltaHospital Foundation, theagriculture sector and otherindividuals and organiza-

tions, all of whom had anopportunity to share theirinterests and concerns too.

Following the meet-ing with the premier, Ifound that a video show-ing excerpts of the variouspresentations was posted towww.deltasouthbcliberals.org/delta-south-leaders-our-premier. You can see a por-tion of the chamber’s pre-sentation at 2m30s and theentire list of invited guestsat 5m30s.

If in future I receive aninvitation to bend the ear ofthe premier or one of hercabinet ministers on issuesand interests of importanceto the Delta Chamber ofCommerce, I will jump atthe opportunity.

Our members expectnothing less.

Editor:The New Democratic

Party has little to gain byassociating itself with acorrupt old-boys’ club thatthinks itself entitled to gov-ern this country.

The Liberals, on theother hand, would standto gain much by latchingonto the NDP at its time ofascendancy.

take a time out.A good decade or two as

Hot chocolate, I get. Hotbaths, I understand. Hotyoga? Not so much.

Still, there’s no denyingit’s all the rage. Even myhusband, who’s never triedyoga, would try yoga if it’shot.

“Maybe they don’t meanhot as in warm,” I suggest.“Maybe they mean hot asin, you know, popular orattractive. As in: Brad Pittis really hot.”

“No,” says my husband,who has researched the hotyoga subject. “They meanhot as in HOT. As in saunahot. As in sweat-your-face-off hot. Sounds like a really

great workout.”I consider the possibility.

I go into a sauna to sit. I gointo a sauna to chat. But Iwould not go into a saunato do the downward dog. Oreven the walking dog or thebarking dog — assumingthose are also yoga posi-tions.

How anyone came upwith the idea of hot yogabeats me. As far as I know,no one has yet come upwith the idea of hot basket-ball or hot volleyball or hotindoor tennis, even thoughthose are also great ways ofkeeping trim.

It’s a no-brainer whyno one has developed hothockey or hot curling orhot ringette, of course,(they’re on ice! duh!), butwhy not hot indoor badmin-ton? Why not hot aerobicsor hot swimming or evenhot Monopoly? (Hey, I’m

betting you could lose afew pounds playing hotMonopoly if you crankedup the thermostat to 180degrees. Park Place andBoardwalk might melt, butwhat the heck? It’s all aboutfitness and fun.)

“You don’t get it,” saysthe husband. “When you dohot yoga, you’re just crank-ing it up a bit. You know,pushing yourself. Sweat canbe your friend.”

OK, I say. I get that. Butwhy not go for a walk in thesummer wearing two par-kas, three pairs of socks andfour toques? Hot walkingwould get you sweating.

“Because!” says the hus-band, clearly exasperated.“That would look STUPID!WHO goes hot walking?”

Indeed, it might. But thelast time I checked the cal-endar, there were approxi-mately nine days of summerleft. Nine days in whichto pull out all the wintergear — mukluks, mitts andscarves included — andhead for a walk along thedike.

Delta SportsLadner teen thrives in dressage arena

On a rural stretch of No.3 Road, south of StevestonHighway in Richmond, liesone of the province’s equinehotbeds where MonicaHouweling has been chas-ing and realizing her dreamfor the last seven years.

The 18-year-old fromLadner has made daily vis-its to Centre Line Stablespart of her life as she hasdeveloped into one of thecountry’s top up-and-com-ing dressage competitors,working under her longtimecoach Karen Pavicic.

“I just love coming outhere and doing my thing,”smiled Houweling after alesson last week in CentreLine’s indoor arena onboardStentano, her 12-year-old

Dutch Warmblood geld-ing. “Karen knows me andknows just how to push metoo. She is really talentedand has really brought mealong.”

Houweling’s measure-ment for success the pastfour years has come inthe way of earning theopportunity to representCanada at the InternationalFederation for EquestrianSports (FEI) NorthAmerican Junior and YoungRider Championships inKentucky. After reach-ing the podium a year agoin the team competition,Houweling’s goal was tocontend in individual eventsin what was her final com-petition at the Junior (18and under) level.

She fulfilled her expecta-tions and then some, win-

ning silver in the freestyleround and bronze in theindividual test. Her divi-sion featured 43 competi-tors from throughout NorthAmerica.

Houweling took themomentum into therecent B.C. DressageChampionships where shemade her debut at the YoungRiders level (21 and under)and came away with gold.With one more regionalevent on her 2011 schedule,she is in a favourable posi-tion moving ahead and try-ing to earn her way back toKentucky in the new year.

“I wanted to see whereI was at and thought wewould just go in and testit,” she said. “We ended upon top but there is still lotsof work to do. I will nowbe focused on training andsettling (Stentano) into thenew level.

“My scores were goodenough to (get me back toKentucky). But I only wantto go back if I am going tobe competitive too.”

With her mom hav-ing a passion for horses,Houweling and her twosisters, were in introducedto riding at a young age. ForMonica, it quickly devel-oped into more than just aweekend pastime.

She began by taking basicriding lessons at a localbarn and made rapid prog-ress. By the time she firsthooked-up with Pavicic,Houweling’s parents hadpurchased her a pony. Shewould go on to anothermount, before Stenato wasimported from Hollandin 2006. It took about ayear before a great enoughbond was developed forHouweling to become theFEI Children’s Champion.

Describing her sport ascombination of figure skat-ing and gymnastics, withjudges’ scoring based onhow well movements areexecuted, Houweling says

there is no real “peak” agein dressage and it’s moreabout experience and con-tinued progress to perhapsone day reach the grandprix level.

“The time frame is really

just moving forward,” shesaid. “You can go as longas your body can take itbut horses can go lame atanytime. A big part of it toois the mental game. You canget yourself there but the

horse has to as well. Theyare unpredictable and that’swhy it’s so important gettingto know him.

“This is my dream andwho knows where it its tak-ing me to.”

Monica Houweling solidifies her promising status with outstanding showing at North America Championships

It is with much sadness that we announcethe sudden but peaceful passing of LauraMerle Levagood, age 86, on September 3rd,2011 at Delta Hospital, after a seven monthstruggle with cancer.

Born July 8th, 1925 in Manitou, Manitoba.She was the youngest daughter of Williamand Laura Manning of Darlingford, Manitoba.Merle had two sisters, Alva and Ella, andthree brothers Clayton, Wray and Delbert. Allher family had predeceased her.

Merle had a happy, small town childhood in Darlingford. She always hadlots of friends, sang in the church choir, and enjoying skating at the localcommunity centre. After graduation from high school, Merle moved toCalgary where she worked for McDonalds Consolidated. There she met andworked with Marion Levagood, soon to be her sister-in-law.

Merle met Glenn Levagood in Calgary in 1946.They were married in Calgaryon February 8th, 1947. Soon after, they moved to Camrose Alberta, whereGlenn began his 50 year career with Sun Life. Moving with this new familywas Mrs. Laura Manning Sr., who lived with the family for eleven years, untilshe passed away in 1958.

Pamela Jean Levagood was born in Camrose, Alberta on February 16th,1951. Cynthia Louise Levagood was born in Edmonton,Alberta on July 23rd,1959.

Merle had a zest for life! She loved to cook and entertain. Everyone wasalways welcome at the Levagood home. She played an active role in thecommunity, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House and the MisericordiaHospital for decades. Merle loved curling at the Hillcrest Country Club,quilting with her quilting group, playing cards, knitting afghans and boy didshe know her sports trivia. She and Glenn were avid Edmonton Eskimos andEdmonton Oilers fans, having season’s tickets for decades.

After Glenn’s passing on September 2nd, 2001 in Edmonton, Merle movedto Tsawwassen, BC. in 2007 to be closer to her girls. There she lived atthe Waterford Seniors Residence where she made many, dear friends,enjoyed playing bridge, attending happy hour, (especially when Elvis wasentertaining!) and had many daily laughs.

Merle is survived by Pam and Moray Keith of Tsawwassen, BC, andCindy Levagood and David Dupont of Fairmont Hot Springs BC.

Much joy in Merle’s life was attributed to her grandchildren, Greg Keith andCourtney Keith of Vancouver BC. Years of dance recitals’, hockey games,Nan’s baking and Nana’s love was special to them, and shall be greatlymissed.

Fairmont Hot Springs, Mountainside Villas played a big part in Merle andGlenn’s life. The family has enjoyed 30 summers there, with lots of friends,and many good times.

A Celebration of her life will be held at Beach Grove Golf Course, 5946 - 12thAvenue, Tsawwassen, BC, on Wednesday, September 21st, 2011, from 1 to3 pm. To make this joyous celebration even more fun, the family requestsyou bring photos of Merle for them to keep. Please explain on the back whois in the photo and the occasion.
