Crescent Park neighbours hear commotion in convenience-store parking lot

Street altercation leads to hit-and-run Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

An altercation outside a corner store near Crescent Park Friday night has left one man seriously injured and another facing charges related to a hit-and-run. Surrey RCMP say the two men – both local residents who knew each other but whom police aren’t identifying publicly –

had arranged to meet that evening in the parking lot of a small convenience store at 128 Street and 25 Avenue. At around 9 p.m., the two got into a violent confrontation, police said, and as one man drove away, he hit the other with his vehicle. The victim, 49, was transported to hospital by helicopter from Elgin Park Secondary.

Police conducted an air search and – after a suspect called police – a 25-year-old was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident. He may face other charges, police said. Crescent Park Market owner Keith Ro said a shocked customer who witnessed the incident told him that what began as a physical confrontation ended with one man striking the other with his car, then driving away.

“They were arguing, then they hit each other,” Ro said. Ro showed a Peace Arch News reporter where the fight took place, pointing out where apparent blood stains remained on the pavement. When the vehicle hit the man, the impact made a loud noise, according to a neighbour. see page 4

Parking lot incident cuts into spring break events

Hazardous-material spill evacuates YMCA Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Spring-break programs were disrupted at the Tong Louie YMCA in Surrey for much of last weekend, after a hazardous-materials spill in the parking lot Friday afternoon led to the evacuation of the facility. YMCA communications manager Kelly Walker said there were no injuries sustained from the

spill of muriatic acid – a highly corrosive hydrogen chloride-based solution used for cleaning pools. She said the incident occurred when a delivery truck bringing chlorine products to the Panorama Ridge “Y” stopped in the parking lot and began to leak onto the pavement. “The leak was confined to the parking lot, but staff took the necessary safety precautions and evacuated the building,” Walker said.

Walker was unable to give an estimate of how many people were evacuated. The facility has indoor pools, gyms and fitness equipment, as well as meeting rooms. The incident was attended by the Surrey Fire Services hazmat squad, and police cordoned off the area. The “Y” re-opened 7 a.m. Sunday, the final day before students returned to school.

A South Surrey man has gone to court to withdraw his guilty plea on charges of possessing and accessing child pornography. Douglas Wayne Bowers filed an affidavit to support his application in Surrey Provincial Court last Wednesday. The next day, while Bowers watched from the visitors gallery, his new lawyer, Robert Doran, and prosecutor Jodie Harris appeared before Judge Douglas Bowers Michael Hicks ‘not guilty’ to work out how the matter will proceed. Because the hearing of the application will review the process that led to Bowers’ guilty plea in December 2010, it is possible that Harris and Bowers’ former defence lawyer, Gordon Welock, could be called to give evidence, the court was told. Harris said that may mean another Crown lawyer would have to take over the case. see page 2

Child porn viewing ‘accidental’ from page 1 The law covering a change of plea from guilty to not guilty allows it for a number of reasons, such as circumstances where an accused was not given good legal advice, not represented by experienced counsel, did not understand the nature of the charge or had a defence that should have been argued and wasn’t. While the exact arguments advanced by Bowers’ affidavit were not discussed in detail during the hearing, Hicks, who read the document before coming to court, said part of it appeared to deal with “advice he (Bowers) did not receive.” The hearing of the application has been scheduled for April 30. The original information against the 62-year-old Bowers, a carpenter, was sworn in September 2009 after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Team led investigators to a man they called a “prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” While a teenaged B.C. victim was identified, police found no indication Bowers was involved in the production of child pornography. Bowers pleaded guilty shortly before his three-day trial was scheduled to begin on Dec. 13, 2010. At the time, he maintained he accidentally downloaded child porn while visiting adult-pornography websites. “I did download porn… but you get everything,” Bowers told Peace Arch News outside court shortly before

Douglas Bowers leaves court after pleading guilty in 2010. he made his plea. “I didn’t know how to get rid of it.” He denied he distributed the child-porn images and said he had “absolutely” no intention of viewing them. “Child porn is sexual abuse, and I know the devastating effect of sexual abuse,” he said. “I was sexually abused as a child by a family member. It’s a devastating thing. I’ve been living with that for 50 years.” Bowers said police told him they identified him through monitoring LimeWire, a peer-to-peer file-sharing computer program. He turned himself in at the South Surrey RCMP station after learning a warrant had been issued for his arrest, Bowers said. He said he pleaded guilty on the advice of his lawyer. “It was in my computer. What else can I do?” His sentencing hearing was postponed last year after Bowers objected to a presentence report that said he

deliberately downloaded the illegal porn. He denied making any Google searches for that material, Welock told the court last fall. He also noted other people had access to Bowers’ computer. At the time, Welock told the court his client wasn’t trying to change his guilty plea to not guilty. Outside court, Welock said Bowers was only making a “little denial” that went to the issue of intent. In 2001, Bowers led a campaign to have a local skateboard park named after his son, Dave Bowers, who died after hitting his head in a snowboarding fall on Mount Seymour. At the time of his 2010 guilty plea, Bowers said that in the years since his son’s death, he withdrew socially and became depressed, and that his surviving son hasn’t spoken to him since the child-pornography arrest. - files from Tracy Holmes

news Cleaning crews scheduled to scour Peace Arch and Surrey Memorial hospitals

Hospitals ‘most vulnerable’ to infection Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health is sending cleaning crews who have battled high levels of antibioticresistant bacteria at Burnaby Hospital to four more hospitals to try to wash down infection rates there. The so-called “super clean” crews will spend two weeks each starting April 2 at Langley Memorial, Peace Arch, Royal Columbian and finally Surrey Memorial hospitals. Petra Welsh, Fraser Health’s director of infection prevention and control, said the decision was made based on the work at Burnaby Hospital, where high rates of C. difficile (CDI) prompted doctors to speak out and led to an independent review and a series of new recommendations.

“These four facilities are the ones that see the sickest patients, the ones that are most vulnerable to CDI,” she said. “These are also the facilities where we see the higher trend of C. difficile due to the large size of the facilities.” Hospitals will first de-clutter floors by moving some equipment and furniture into storage so cleaners can more effectively conduct the thorough two-stage enhanced cleaning. Crews will use a regular cleaner followed by a second disinfection using a bleach solution several hours later. The super-clean treatment could roll out to even more hospitals, but Welsh said that need will be reassessed in the weeks ahead. C. difficile infects the intestines and can cause illnesses ranging from diarrhea, nau-

sea, vomiting, fever and colitis, and in some cases, results in death. A number of deaths across the health region have been linked to C. difficile infections in recent years. Welsh said new infections are down in the wake of the Burnaby cleaning. “People say the sites smell cleaner and look cleaner,” she added. The work is being done by cleaning contractors Aramark and Sodexho, which have pulled in casual cleaners who normally work at Vancouver Coastal hospitals in order to meet the higher workload in Fraser. Hospital Employees’ Union spokesman Mike Old said Vancouver General and St. Paul’s hospitals are short-staffed as a result, remaining cleaners are over-worked and patients could pay the price if cleanliness suffers.

Welsh said Fraser Health has been assured the transfer from Vancouver Coastal isn’t leaving those hospitals short-staffed. Welsh said Fraser is refining its protocol of how to respond to future cases of bacterial infection. In addition to enhanced cleaning when warranted, the health authority’s main strategy is to focus on improved hand washing and the appropriate use of antibiotics. Fraser Health’s hospitals have averaged a C. difficile infection rate of 12.6 cases per 10,000 patient days so far in 2011-12 – more than double Health Canada’s national benchmark. Langley Memorial, Burnaby, Mission Memorial and Surrey Memorial have run an infection rate over 15 this fiscal year, while Fraser Health statistics show Royal Columbian’s is 14.4 and Peace Arch’s is 10.2.

Sex-assault conviction

Border guard appeals The appeal of a former South Surrey border guard who was convicted last year of sexual assault and breach of trust will be heard tomorrow (Wednesday) in B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver. Daniel Johnson Greenhalgh, who worked at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border, was sentenced a year ago to two years in jail, after he was found guilty the previous fall of three counts of sexual assault and one count of breach of public trust. The convictions followed a fiveweek jury trial in New Westminster in which three women testified Greenhalgh touched them inappropriately during strip-searches he conducted on his own in areas including a men’s public washroom. A fourth woman said she was made to strip, but was not touched. The incidents occurred in 2007 while Greenhalgh was on duty, and involved victims aged 19 to 30. Throughout the trial, Greenhalgh maintained his innocence. His lawyers at the time described the penalty – which also included three years probation, a 10-year firearms prohibition, a $400 victim surcharge and an order to provide a DNA sample – as “stiff ” and said Greenhalgh would appeal. - Tracy Holmes

Murder charges Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Branson Sanders. Sanders’ severely burned body was found in the bushes in Burnaby on Dec. 2, 2011. Police believe he was killed at a home in the 18000-block of 55 Avenue in Surrey and his body dumped. Burnaby resident Shakib Shakib, 19, has been charged with seconddegree murder. A 19-year-old Surrey man faces the same charge but cannot yet be named as the charges have not yet been sworn in court.

Lifetime of seizures inspires girl to talk to classmates on Purple Day about epilepsy

Hayley Sephton had her first seizure when she was a year-and-a-half old, at a family Christmas dinner. Her mother, Jaqueline, vividly remembers her daughter suddenly going limp in her arms and the fear that her child might be dying. After a short time, Hayley came to, tired and disoriented, but otherwise unharmed. She was diagnosed with a form of epilepsy, a disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in a person’s brain. The 12-year-old South Surrey girl has had 13 more seizures in the years since then, moments where she suddenly loses consciousness, then wakes up a few minutes later, exhausted. “It’s kind of terrifying,” Hayley says. She also feels dizzy a lot, as though she just got off a rotating ride at a playground. “It’s hard to feel different from everyone

Residents see, hear commotion from page 1 “I heard a bang,” said resident Stephanie Ursell, who lives across the street. Residents noted seeing a police helicopter with a searchlight, in addition to the air ambulance. Alec Lajoie observed considerable police activity at nearby Crescent Park Elementary, counting at least three police cruisers and an ambulance. As Lajoie drove back from the

school past the convenience store, he saw the parking lot of the small store had been marked off-limits with yellow police tape, there were orange marker cones on the road and a police cruiser on the scene was apparently holding someone in the back seat. “I could see the officer (standing outside) shining a light into the car,” LaJoie said. Another similar, but unrelated, Surrey hit-and-run happened the

same evening around midnight at the location of a house party near 133A Street and 102 Avenue. A teenage girl was reportedly hit by a car that drove at a group of pedestrians after some objects were thrown at the vehicle. Her injuries were not considered life-threatening. RCMP said one person, a young woman, was arrested and faces a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

A Surrey woman was sentenced to six years in jail Thursday after being found guilty of planning to kill her husband. Last November, Liza Joylene Belcourt was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Her co-accused, the two men she hired – Port Coquitlam’s Jordan Joseph Doiron and Langley’s David Dean Laidlaw – were also found guilty. Belcourt’s estranged commonlaw husband Richard Noniewicz was shocked when he learned from police in 2009 that Belcourt was planning to have him killed. He said he was in a common-law relationship with Belcourt for 2½ years, but had been separated for the past five years. The pair were in the midst of a custody battle. The Vancouver Police Department said officers uncovered the wife’s plan during ongoing investigations of gang activity in August 2009.

Anger shouldn’t get the best of us

wo disputes in Surrey ended in neartragedy last weekend. As police continue to sort out the details of what appear to be intentional hit-and-runs, it’s difficult to imagine the incidents haven’t left citizens trying to understand the level of outrage that would drive someone to such an extreme response. The first incident, around 9 p.m. Friday night, occurred outside a convenience store near Crescent Park. It’s unclear what sparked it all, but witnesses say a violent physical altercation between two men known to each other led to one being struck by the other’s vehicle. The second, unrelated incident occurred about three hours later in North Surrey, when a teenaged girl was struck by a car that reportedly drove at a group of pedestrians after some objects were thrown at the vehicle. In the South Surrey incident, the victim suffered serious injuries. In both incidents, the drivers are facing charges. While it’s doubtful any of those involved are feeling particularly special right now, it is fair to say all parties were lucky. Two people, one of whom remains in critical condition, who could very easily have been killed are instead nursing wounds, and two others who could have faced the balance of their lives with the knowledge that they were responsible for another’s death are instead facing criminal charges – a retribution much easier to swallow. It would be interesting to know if, looking back, the drivers regret their behaviour; if they can truly understand it themselves; if they realize how close they came to killing another human being. Certainly, they weren’t the first to go to such extremes. Too often, reports of anger-gone-wild flash across the news hour. Too often, the outcome is death. There’s little doubt the perpetrators in both of Friday’s incidents felt justified in the moment. They were angered by something and struck out. Outside looking in, there’s simply no acceptable logic. Only in a situation where one’s own life, or that of a loved one, is threatened could it begin to make sense, and that has not been disclosed as a motivator in either of the recent events. While it’s easy for others to say they would never go so far, the reality is, people do. Hopefully, those involved will realize such actions come with high stakes, and the odds just aren’t worth the gamble.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 47% no 53% 118 responding Control over staffing levels is what the NDP let slip to the BCTF in 1998. And it is what the BC Liberals took back in 2002, with legislation that removed class size and composition from bargaining. In the constantly repeated BCTF rhetoric, this was the “illegal stripping” of union contract terms that was struck down in April 2011 by the B.C. Supreme Court. A closer reading of Justice Susan Griffin’s decision shows that she gave Education Minister George Abbott an out. If the province replaces staffing level bargaining with “an equivalent process of good faith consultations or negotiation, then the legislation might not be an interference with freedom of association….” Bill 22 was written with this decision in mind, reasserting the government’s control over the payroll with a $165 million fund for special needs and a mediator to demonstrate those “good faith consultations.” University of Victoria business professor Ken Thornicroft noted last week that ceding control over class size to the union amounts to delegating authority over spending to someone who is not elected. The legality of that will no doubt be examined in the BCTF’s next courtroom assault on the provincial treasury. It’s an important comparison for voters.

Little control over emittance Editor: Re: A measure of thanks, March 15 letters. In her letter to the editor, Arlene Rubin confidently talks of her neighbours and herself refusing their smart meters. I think they are going to be surprised when, in a few weeks or months, those very smart meters will be installed. Quite simply, we do not have the right to refuse these new meters. I, too, falsely thought I could object to getting one, only to get a reply saying we do not have the right to refuse, and one will be installed. The reply was accompanied by a letter explaining the apparent misunderstanding of the meters’ health risk. It also gave a breakdown of the comparative emittance of these meters versus other everyday electromagnetic emitters – the same emitters which we now all readily accept into our daily lives, as the convenience of the technological age has overtaken any consideration of longer-term health risks. Irrespective of whether the reply I received from BC Hydro is to be believed, I have to assume Arlene neither owns a cellphone, nor has portable phones and Wi-Fi in her house. These are amongst only three items that emit constant electromagnetic “pollution,” and I have come to accept are everyday items that pose far greater risks to our long-term health than the taxpayer-funded smart meters. Bernard Abelson, Surrey

Easy targets on Marine Drive Editor: Re: Speeders should foot tab, March 15 letters. I agree with letter-writer Sharon Hollas 100 per cent. We have hundreds of people a day ignoring the posted speed limit on East Beach in White Rock. If these people think they are above the law, then let them pay! It’s dangerous, loud and downright scary to walk Marine Drive anytime of the day or night. These selfish people couldn’t care less about the weather, or traffic or pedestrians, or the law. So please make them pay. Please, RCMP, do something. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Cha-ching! $$$$ Frank Hutchinson, White Rock

They’re in it for all of us Editor: In this age of a million distractions, I am heartened by the thoughtfulness of those who continue to come together for the sake of others. Two recent fundraising events remind me of this.

On March 8, at South Surrey Arena, two high school teams played each other while also honouring the memory of a longtime sports volunteer who passed away in February. Organizers of the Glenn Zwick Memorial Game collected donations for our hospital as a tribute to him. A day later, students at Queen Elizabeth Secondary held their Roots and Rhythms fundraising show. It’s an annual event organized by the students, who plan the event, sell tickets and perform on stage so they can contribute to the hospital. They are the latest examples of groups giving their time in support

of the overall community. Thank you to all who took part in these events and the numerous others that occur regularly in our wonderful community. Jane Adams, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation

More reasons to celebrate Editor: We have been residents of South Surrey for 22 years and wanted to share a rare moment of human

kindness that we were fortunate to have experienced. My husband and I had dinner at Milestones. We are seniors and fully capable to pay for our meal. The restaurant manager and his assistant came to our table when it came to pay for a wonderful dinner. We were advised that our dinner was paid for by an anonymous couple from a nearby table. They wanted to share and pass forward some good fortune to us as they had some good medical news to celebrate. We were deeply touched. Human kindness can come in so many special ways. Thank you. E.

quote of note

While ﬁnancial considerations are important, it’s more than that.a Rashpal Lovelace

File photo

The current dispute between teachers and the province comes down to the bottom line for many, say letter writers.

Valuating our school teachers Editor: There has been a lot of reporting over the past months, some of it in favour of the teacher’s union and some in favour of the government. Front and centre in most reports are financial costs to various options proposed by both sides; as a taxpayer I am cognizant of the level of taxation and the potential effect these options will have on my bottom line. What astonishes me, however, is the level of disrespect for the average teacher who, in the majority of situations, demonstrates compassion, nurturing and the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide a sound education to your children and that of your neighbour’s children. As a former teacher and current parent of two children in the school system, I have nothing but praise for the work I witness being done, by not only my children’s teachers but by the rest of the school staff. There appears to be a belief that teachers are in it for the money. While financial considerations are important, it’s more than that. These dedicated providers actually care about your children. They spend more time with your children, in some cases, than you do. They develop a bond with them which lasts a lifetime and they will think about your children well after they have left their classroom. How do I know this? Because I still do – and it’s been over a decade since I was last a teacher. This labour dispute is contentious and will likely remain adversarial, but let’s not forget that the people we trust with our children are just that, people who are trying to better the lives of the children in their care. Rashpal Lovelace, Surrey Q While the teachers and their union are undoubtedly disappointed by the turn of events in their ongoing labour dispute with the provincial government, I think that the government represents the taxpayers of B.C., and they are in a substantial deficit position, so there is not a lot of money to satisfy the teachers’ demands. I am reminded of my childhood in a large family when the pot was empty, and while searching for precious resources we might be tempted to say that one sibling got such and such and I got nothing and life isn’t fair. As it happened, my parents were quite frugal and credit cards

and lines of credit were not a common part of family life, so we were obliged to make due until the next payday. This is the situation that most public-sector employees now find themselves. While their union contracts insulate them from free-market economics, the resources to compensate them is limited to the ability of governments to harvest revenues in an economy which has been slow for several years and is in peril of continuing so for many more years. While classroom challenges are considerable, I think teachers will eventually lose support, friends and respect if they fail to concede that their compensation packages and hours worked is somewhat more advantageous than the majority of taxpayers paying the freight. It is common these days to point out that the very rich and corporations have it much better off and should contribute a lot more financially to the public purse; the sad truth is that the so-called rich already pay a lot more and, more significantly, there are not enough rich people and too many poor people to budget that way. Bob Holden, White Rock Q In these days of work action by the teachers and trial balloons from the feds regarding retirement pensions, the reading public is being subjected to much rhetoric warning of the dire consequences to the democratic process if government refuses to negotiate and introduces legislation withdrawing “fundamental rights.” The union movement in general is rallying to the cause. Not so long ago, at the end of the Social Credit era, a sizeable group of non-unionized workers saw its master and pension agreements torn up by the new government, which also passed an order-in-council to the effect that it could not be sued for its actions in this respect. Draconian? Orwellian? You be the judge. Were the big guns of unionized labour brought to bear on this ‘threat to the democratic principle’ of collective bargaining? Not a peep was heard. ‘Dastardly’ actions of this type are not limited to the left or right wing of the political spectrum. Does anyone recall the group of workers sanctioned or the responsible government of the day? Or are subjects like these only the significant concern of vested interests? A. Walter, Surrey

news Contract promises better cost control, accountability

Deal brings new era for cities with RCMP Jeff Nagel Black Press

Federal and provincial ministers signed a new 20-year RCMP contract last week, ushering in what B.C. cities hope will be a new relationship with the Mounties and much better control over spiraling police costs. City councils, which got their first look at the full text the previous week, have until the end of April to ratify the agreement themselves. Any city that doesn’t like it can terminate their RCMP service and form a municipal police force or partner with an existing one. Cities will also get a two-year opt-out option, and a review of the contract every five years. “We are creating far more transparency and accountability in policing,” B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said Wednesday at a signing ceremony with federal Public Safety Minister Vic WHITE ROCK SOCIAL JUSTICE FILM SOCIETY

Toews at the main Surrey detachment, the country’s largest. “For the first time we will have the ability to question costs, to look at breakdowns of costs, to say do we really need to have those kinds of things take place in British Columbia.” Toews said it’s also in Ottawa’s interest to rein in costs. Officials say the deal finally puts cities in better position to control costs, rather than simply paying whatever bills are sent to them. “This is a major shift from what we had before,” said Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the civic observer in the talks. Many cities have seen their RCMP costs climb six to seven per cent each year. That’s not as severe as some unionized municipal forces, where costs have climbed by up to 14 per cent a year in some cases. But municipalities have a wary eye on Presents:

can better prepare for cost changes. Improvements in the deal include an agreement that Ottawa will cover 30 per cent of the costs of integrated policing teams such as the gang task force and IHIT, up from 10 per cent now. No change was made in the overall costsharing formula, which makes large cities over 15,000 population pay 90 per cent of costs, while smaller cities

shoulder 70 per cent. Last fall, B.C. threatened to withdraw from the RCMP and start its own provincial force after the federal government issued an ultimatum to sign the contract or lose the Mounties in 2014. Bond said B.C. continues to pursue more integrated services, but does not rule out regionalization. “We’re happy to have a discussion about that,” she said.

At the heart of the deal is a new B.C. local government contract management committee with 10 reps from cities who are promised much more hands-on control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role.

White Rock Tax

Surrey Civic Coalition shut out in council race

1527 Johnston Rd., White Rock (in the strip mall beside KFC)

Failed bid cost SCC $103,230 Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mayor Dianne Wattsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; municipal Surrey First Team spent six times as much as its opposition party on its run for city council last November, and it paid off. Surrey First won all nine seats, spending $676,283. By contrast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; according to campaign-disclosure documents filed in time for last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) spent just $103,230 on council candidates. The figure works out to $12,903 per candidate. The SCC did not run a mayoral candidate.

SCC poured most if its financial resources into four candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bob Bose ($29,920), Stephanie Ryan ($23,486), former Surrey councillor Gary Robinson ($17,626) and Doug Elford ($17,446). SCC candidate Rina Gill outperformed all party colleagues except for Bose, yet the SCC spent just $4,826 on her campaign. And candidate Steve Wood received more votes than Robinson, for a cost of only $2,476. SCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per-candidate funding for council was less than what the party spent trying to get an SCC member on the Surrey Board of

Education, perhaps because some of the incumbent seats for school trustee were up for grabs. The only successful SCC candidate was Charlene Dobie, who rang up $22,020 in expenses. The party that almost swept school board â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Surrey First Education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spent $55,110. Candidates in last Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election had until March 19 to report their campaign contributions and expenditures. Only independent council candidate Kuljinder Gill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is now in jail following an impaireddriving conviction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; failed to file his disclosures.

Last of White Rock candidates file Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

All candidates in the White Rock municipal election filed their financial disclosure documents by last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline. Candidates had until March 19 to file documents, indicating how much they spent running for office, where the money came from and what it was used for. Among the last to file was Grant Meyer, who won with more votes than any other successful council candidate by spending $6,164.37, more than half of it his own money ($3,514.37).

Meyer devoted almost all funds to lawn signs, pamphlets and brochures, plus $348.66 for T-shirts. Mayoralty hopeful Larry Anschell spent $15,784.76 on his campaign to finish third. More than half ($8,192.80) was Anschellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own money. The rest came from realtor Paul Quinn, who paid for Anschellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s print and broadcast campaign. Cliff Annable spent $10,073.94 on his bid for a council seat, $1,670.93 on advertising, $7,492.63 on signs, pamphlets, brochures and postage. The biggest donation to the unsuccessful

David Chesney spent $4,098.53, all raised through individual donations of $100 to $50. About half was spent on a fundraiser that drummed up the donations. Barry Belec spent $1,740, raised through small contributions from individuals. Belec made the largest contribution himself of $215.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

White Rock pioneer has left a lasting impression

The community that Thrift built A

quip that White Rock was fast becoming the ‘thrift shop capital of Canada’ brought to mind a different thought we had on arriving in White Rock. With Thrift Avenue and Thrift School, we wondered if we had landed in an exceptionally frugally-minded community. At that time, it wasn’t easy to discover the reason for the naming – no signage, and the White Rock archives hadn’t yet been established. For those equally curious, here’s the lowdown. An enterprising man named Henry Thrift was the source of it all. By the time he died in 1946, he’d had a finger in most Surrey and White Rock pies. Anyone more energetic would be hard to imagine. An often-told story typifies his life. One day, as he was hustling along a road, Thrift was overtaken by a man driving a horse and wagon.

You will receive great news about a situation involving money. Even though the weather is getting more comfortable, continue to be careful with your health.

Your boss may already be contemplating a schedule for this summer. This is the time to ask for the weeks you would like to have off for your vacation.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

You are feeling extremely energetic. Your dynamism leads you to take on more than you can manage healthily, though, and some rest will be necessary at the end of the week.

Some little things will get under your skin and will leave you feeling a bit emotional. You will be able to deal with the situation, though, and you will find a reason to smile.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI

If you have small children at home, they will be rather turbulent this week. You discover that all it takes to calm things down is give a little bit of love to everyone involved.

You’ve been resting quite a bit lately, and this will have helped you build up your energy stores. You are now more determined then ever to take care of your responsibilities at work and home.

CAPRICORN You will be swamped with a lot of responsibilities at work. Do not get annoyed with the details. Take a step back and you will be able to evaluate the situation in the best way possible.

CANCER Whether you are receiving guests or getting involved in activities outside the home, you will be in charge of a lot of details. This is something you will take pleasure in.

AQUARIUS

LEO

You will find yourself in the spotlight and you are going to love it! People might gather to congratulate you for something, so get ready to receive their applause graciously.

The sooner you finish your chores, the sooner you will be able to have fun with friends and family. You need to focus on the present and enjoy the moment.

business Kelly Carmichael drives 60 kilometres a day in his electric car

Commuter leads electric-car charge Boaz Joseph

Black Press

elly Carmichael is used to the questions: How far does it go? How long does it take to charge? What happens when you run out of power? The simple answers are: Well over 100 kilometres; it depends on what charger you use and how you drive; and you plan ahead so you don’t. Carmichael bought his Nissan Leaf, a five-passenger electric vehicle (EV), last October, becoming one of 100 buyers across Canada with 2011 models. Forty went to private citizens like himself, the rest to corporations, including BC Hydro. Each day, Carmichael commutes about 30 kilometres each way from Newton to Burnaby, keeping the pearl-coloured hatchback tethered to a Level-2 (240-volt) charging station at the BCIT campus. Carmichael, a research analyst at the Group for Advanced Information Technology – not coincidentally investigating the effect of EVs on electrical power grids – decided to test drive the car last May. He expected it to be slow and handle like a “wet sponge.” Instead, it felt tight and sporty and he fell in love with it. He

When an email arrived saying a car was available for $38,000 – minus a $5,000 EV rebate – two things happened: One, Carmichael installed a seven-hour Level-2 charger at his house; and two, his kids suddenly inherited a Hyundai

Santa Fé SUV. The Leaf is powered by an 80-kilowatt electric motor that produces 100 horsepower and 210 lb.-feet of torque linked to the driveline by a single-speed, directdrive transmission. The juice is supplied by a 24 kW-h (kilowatt-hour) lithium ion

battery (made of 192 individual cells) under the seats, which should have the car run anywhere from 100 to 160 kilometres under regular conditions. To save power, there are accessories such as heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel to reduce the need

to use the car’s heating system. He also programs the heat in the vehicle to turn on every weekday at 7 a.m. “That’s using the power from my house, not the power from my battery,” he explains. Carmichael uses an iPhone app called CARWINGS to remotely manage and control the vehicle’s charging and check its status. There’s little maintenance to do: tire rotations every 12,000 kilometres and a general check-up every year, along with a change of brake fluid. (The only other fluids are water used in the interior heating system and windshield washer fluid). Carmichael says he’s calculated the cost of eventually replacing the battery when it starts to wear down in several years. There are 50 kilograms of lithium in it that can then be recycled and sold, perhaps taking the sting off of the cost of a new battery, which could exceed $7,000. Carmichael will be on hand on a couple of evenings and during the weekend at the Vancouver International Auto Show at B.C. Place Stadium April 3-8 to help with the Nissan Leaf display and answer questions. For more about the show, visit vancouverinternationalautoshow. com

business Sts’ailes First Nation signs partnership after lengthy negotiations

Hemlock resort to expand Kurt Langmann Black Press

A newly signed partnership to develop a 6,000-hectare expansion of the Hemlock ski resort is a result of three years of negotiations between the Sts’ailes First Nation and local entrepreneur Ralph Berezan. But over the 60-year term of the contract Sts’ailes Chief Willie Charlie said it will bring changes that will transform the way his people live. For this reason, Charlie emphasized that “the benefits we were able to negotiate are going to equal or be greater than those impacts.” The Sts’ailes Healing Centre hall on Morris Valley Road was filled to capacity for the signing ceremony on March 9, and guests included representatives of other First Nations, provincial government ministries and neighbours of the Sts’ailes. The ceremony followed Sts’ailes customs and included traditional songs and dances, but there were also good-natured exchanges barbs between Charlie and Berezan – a Langley resident who owns several South Surrey business properties, and is former owner of the Surrey Eagles – demonstrating the respectful fondness the two men have built over three years of negotiations. The proposed development area is massive at 6,000 hectares and will extend the existing resort to the western shores of Harrison Lake. In addition to the new mountains opened to skiing and a web of ski lifts, there are plans for a marina, hotels, golf courses, riding stables, zip lines and more. “It’s a development that’s going to take 60 years (to complete),” Berezan said, noting the application is still awaiting approvals from senior levels of government. “The Sts’ailes are not the only government I have to report to. The ministries are watching me like a hawk and

have to give me their the fall of 2013. He also approvals — that’s what presented a $100,000 I’ve got my cash gift to lawyers for,” the Sts’ailes said Berezan, Legacy Fund to laughter that day, “as a from the token of our audience. appreciation.” In the Charlie meantime, stressed “the Berezan has magnitude, committed the enormity” to replacing Ralph Berezan of the impacts one of the of “this very entrepreneur older lifts at significant Hemlock with milestone for a new quad chair lift by the Sts’ailes… it will

have impacts forever on our people and once it starts we can’t get it back.” The benefits, first and foremost, are jobs and opportunities, said Charlie. As a yearround destination, Hemlock is projected to provide 22,000 jobs over the 60 years. “I go to the school and I tell young people you can be whatever you want to be in see page 19

Langley’s Ralph Berezan and Sts’ailes Chief Willie Charlie signs a 60-year partnership for the resort.

Project is ‘significant milestone’ from page 18 our own territory, in this one development,” said Charlie. “Also the stewardship policy, the heritage policy, the environment policy is incorporated in the contract, to help us maintain the

integrity of our territory. “We are always willing to roll up our sleeves and do our share of the work, to stand up for what we think is right and not expect something for nothing. We’re going to be transparent, very

clear and sometimes very loud,” said Charlie. “I also want to acknowledge Ralph Berezan for setting the tone and example for others that want to do work in our territory.”

This allows you to require only one bin for all your needs instead of a different bin for each material. This saves you money! “How big are the bins?” – 8 yard bin (small jobs, turf, concrete, sand) - 12 ‘x 8’ x 2.5’ - up to 2500 lb. – 16 yard bin (medium jobs, rooﬁng, construction debris etc.) - 12’ x 8’ x 4’ up to 3000 lb. – 20 yard bin (medium jobs, rooﬁng, construction debris etc.) - 12’ x 8’ x 6.5’ up to 4000 lb.

“How much will it cost to dump the bin?” Please see our pricing page for further details. “I live in White Rock does BigRedBins offer service in my area?” We offer next day service to most areas in the Lower Mainland. In many cases we can have a bin on site the same day. Some outlying areas may be charged a small service charge for the extra distance involved in delivering and picking up the bin.Please see our service area map for further details. “Does BigRedBins recycle the materials in the bin?” We follow all recycling guidelines wherever possible. “Does BigRedBins have any franchise opportunities?” Sorry nothing available at this time.

Arthritis? Diabetes? Fibromyalgia? Aches? Pains? Not Sleeping?

T3 RECOVERY MATTRESSES

Ironman Mattresses with Celiant® and Cellitex® have been proven in clinical test to reduce pain, increase oxygen levels, and help balance body temperature. Each of these results can have added benefits, including faster healing, increased performance, better quality sleep and improved overall wellness; all of which can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and peripheral vascular disease often associated with diabetes. The key to Celliant® lies in its ability to absorb and store electromagnetic (energy) emissions from the human body and release them where they are reabsorbed into the skin and deep muscle tissue, they act as catalysts for natural, biological processes resulting in enhanced oxygen levels, and more balanced body temperature during sleep, rest or physical activity.

NATURAL LIGHT PATIO COVERS Natural Light Patio Covers bring the sun and shade together by blocking the sun’s harmful rays and protecting your family from the elements - all while allowing your family to enjoy your home’s outdoor space without sacrificing the illuminating effects of natural sunlight. With a wide variety of applications and sheeting options, Natural Light Patio Covers can be fully customized to suit a broad variety of exterior applications, such as patio or deck covers, pool or hot tub enclosures, carports, sunrooms, and hobby greenhouses. Even the rooms adjacent to your Natural Light Patio are brighter and more enjoyable. The sheeting creates a soft, even sunlit glow, while reflecting heat and blocking UV rays. What makes this product unique to British Columbia is the Acrylite® Acrylic, which has a proven durability record in the greenhouse industry for over 30 years! Acrylite offers a selection of day-lighted roofing sheets to suit your application. Sheets are available in a range of solar tints that block damaging UV rays while allowing various levels of light transmission and heat reflection. There is a combination of Acrylite products and installation systems for almost every application to help you get the look you want, offering the level of protection you need while keeping maintenance to a minimum. You have to see it to believe it: it has an R-value for insulating; it is virtually self-cleaning with rain or garden hose; it is strong enough to handle Greater Vancouver’s “Great Snow Fall” every three years; yet is shatterproof, impact-resistant, and will not

discolour or fade. There are also a variety of vertical applications available, providing options for turning your patio into 3and 4-season rooms: • Vertical acrylic can be used in sliding wall applications; • Screen options help you to keep the bugs out; • Traditional thermal windows and sliding doors can be used for a weather-tight system; • NEW! to our product line is a sliding glass wall system, that allows you to enclose your space in ﬂoor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels that allows your patio to be completely open, yet can be enclosed to keep out the wind and rain. Our installers are all professionally trained and have extensive proven records within the home-building and renovation industry, helping to assure you get the best possible service with the best possible products. With over 20 years of experience we offer exceptional services and a comprehensive 10 year warranty to back up all our Acrylite® products and installation, plus 30 year warranties against weathering/discolouration of the acrylic itself! Natural Light Patio Covers are a great environmental choice: • All materials used for our products are 100% recyclable. • Our structures are built to last, so they will not end up in the landﬁll. • Our warehouse is fully powered by our own wind generator. 604-857-1702 stevel.nlpc@gmail.com www. naturallightpatiocovers.com

Don’t be fooled by how young she is, Chelsea Badr, stylist and owner of Hidden Gem Hair Studio, has more than 10 years of experience in the industry. The professionally-trained stylist and entrepreneur started out as a shampoo girl and assistant while in school. By the end of graduation, she had shown enough talent to be a full-time stylist. After four years of working in salons, Chelsea focused on creating her own business. Based out of her own home for ﬁve years, the positive response spurred her to open her own business in April 2011. “Within a month of deciding to buy, I had it up and running,” she said. “In less than a year, I had each booth rented out and almost tripled my clientele.” Recently, Chelsea was nominated for the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award at the 2011 Business Excellence Awards, an honour she has worked hard to achieve. “I strive to set myself apart by not doublebooking clients, and by giving myself plenty of time for each service,” she said. “We want our clients to feel the best, so we also offer complimentary hand treatments with all chemical services.” Despite her wealth of experience, Chelsea continues her education in the ﬁeld, upgrading her tools and techniques to better serve her clientele. She is the go-to person for colour, precision cuts, extensions, perms and Brazilian smoothing treatments called Kera Straight. “I believe in using top quality products, that’s why I choose Joico for colour service. Joico is known as the healthy hair company, and that’s really important to me,”said Chelsea, who was an educator with Joico and is a colour specialist. “Kevin Murphy and Moroccan Oil are some of the other lines I carry.” Most of all, she is passionate about her work. “I love, love, love my career and I am so excited that I am living my dream right now,” she said. To celebrate the 1st Anniversary of Hidden Gem Hair Studio, in White Rock, Chelsea invites you to an open house from 6pm-9pm on Tuesday, April 10th. Hope to see you there.

A hidden jewel at Sunnyside Manor

entrally-located in beautiful and vibrant White Rock, Sunnyside Manor provides a cozy, comfortable environment inspired by an English-style manor... with a hidden jewel inside. When you first step inside Sunnyside Manor you are greeted by the warmth of the twinkling fireplace. A quick

peek through the French doors reveals the hidden sanctuary that Sunnyside Manorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents and friends enjoy and love. An agate pathway follows the perimeter of the enchanting courtyard, which includes a rocking bench seat, a gazebo and inviting seating areas along the path â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in and out of the shade.

The courtyard is seasonally colourful and well-maintained all year-round. At any given time, residents can be seen enjoying happy hour, socializing or even helping out in the garden, which showcases many of the crafts made by residents, including hand-painted stone art.

A ‘secret garden’ for relaxing with family and friends from page 31

“It’s our secret garden, that not many people know about,” said Michelle Van Ieperen, general manager of Sunnyside Manor. “It’s a beautiful, private environment for relaxing, meditating or just visiting with family and friends.” Although Sunnyside Manor is located in the heart of White Rock, with Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Peace Arch Hospital and the city’s sandy beaches just a short drive away, the courtyard provides a wonderful alternative on those overcast or chilly days, when a walk at home is all you need. There are adopted birds from Greyhaven Rescue Society that residents can visit in the lobby. These feathered friends provide companionship and are beautiful to just look at. “There is not a resident who doesn’t stop by and talk to them or try and teach them how to whistle,” Michelle said. When residents are not enjoying the “secret garden,” they can be found socializing in the various sitting areas tucked away in the

building, or dining in the elegant dining room. The dining room’s warm ambience is provided by the twin fireplaces, while residents can look out the French doors into the courtyard. There is always something inviting to do at Sunnyside Manor, which offers many different ways to stay active and engage the mind, body and spirit, including exercise classes, movies, a pool table and bingo. If a little time to yourself is all you need, why not head to the computer lounge or the well-stocked library to read a good book? You can enjoy some private time beside the toasty fireplace in your own suite, whether it’s a one bedroom and den, a one bedroom or a spacious studio suite. “Almost all the suites have a fireplace, which our residents love,” Michelle said. “The highceilings and roomy suites really make people feel comfortable and at home.” A full-time recreation co-ordinator is on hand to organize events, with the option to participate

as much or as little as you like. There are weekly bus trips on Tuesdays to local malls. On Thursdays, residents can explore the Lower Mainland to unique and interesting exhibits and destinations, like Bowen Island. Picnics and in-house entertainment by an extensive array of musicians, dance groups, singers and speakers, as well as dog visits and baking sessions, are

just more reasons why Sunnyside Manor should be your new home. An assisted-living program is offered as an option to residents, which can be helpful for someone coming home from a hospital stay, Michelle said. “If you’re not up to par and need a little extra help, you can choose this optional service for as long as you need, whether

it’s one week, one day or longer,” she said. “We tailor it to your individual need.” For all these amenities and more, why not contact Sunnyside Manor today to arrange a tour, or you can request a brochure online. Right now, Sunnyside Manor is offering amazing rates on special suites, starting at $1,795. Call 604-531-7470 to find out more.

COMPASS

The weather and temperature outdoors can have a large impact on energy levels and motivation to exercise. Warm, sunny weather can beckon one outdoors, while cold or rainy weather could keep one inside, which is not good for the spirit or the body, including cardiovascular health. There are many things you can do to make the best of things and still get the exercise needed for a healthy heart. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

• Head outdoors: Consider something that makes the most of the weather outdoors. If it’s hot outside, try walking by the seaside. If it’s raining, wear a raincoat and take a brisk walk around the neighborhood. If it’s cold outdoors or, if there’s any residual snow, sledding or skiing remain fun ways to burn calories. • Workout indoors: This doesn’t necessarily mean heading to the nearest gym. It’s possible to get recommended exercise at home or at another location. Walking briskly around a mall is good exercise and you can window shop in the process. Lift heavy items around the house in

place of dumbbells. Doing regular household chores with more vigour is another way to get blood ﬂowing and your heart pumping. • Eat right: It’s far too easy to indulge in comfort foods, but they tend to be fattening. Eating the right foods to maintain a healthy weight goes a long way toward protecting the heart. Be sure to eat breakfast every day, and choose fruits and vegetables as snacks over sweet and salty items. Be sure to include plenty of foods high in ﬁbre. Not only will they help keep cholesterol levels in check, but it will also help you to feel full faster and longer.

news Mayors’ rep corrects Clark over claims, urges caution

Premier pledges audit to dodge new TransLink taxes Jeff Nagel Black Press

Premier Christy Clark says the province won’t approve a vehicle levy for TransLink as requested by Metro Vancouver’s mayors and will instead expect savings of $30 million to be found through an audit. “We are not going to find it through a vehicle levy or other sources, we are going to find it within TransLink,” Clark told reporters Thurs-

day, as she kicked off byelection campaigns in Port Moody and Chilliwack. “That’s how we’re going to close the gap and make sure this Evergreen Line gets built.” Clark gave no details of the audit but said savings can likely be found in any organization that spends more than $1 billion a year. Mayors requested the province enable the vehicle levy – or a regional carbon tax – so that a

www.whiterockoptometry.com WHITEROCK OPTOMETRY “Caring for you and your family for over 25 years”

property tax increase of $23 per average household doesn’t automatically take effect in 2013. Mayors approved a TransLink expansion plan last fall requiring an extra $70 million a year, with $40 million coming from a two-cent lift in the gas tax that takes effect next month and $30 million to come from other to-be-negotiated sources that would avoid the need for the property tax.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, vice-chair of the mayors’ council, said the premier may have wrongly raised fears the Evergreen Line is in jeopardy when she suggested the 11-kilometer SkyTrain extension to Port Moody and Coquitlam depends on filling the $30-million gap. In fact, he noted, the gas-tax hike is dedicated to cover the Evergreen Line costs, while the remaining

$30 million is earmarked for other transit upgrades, including the Highway 1 RapidBus service over the new Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King George Boulevard in Surrey. “I appreciate the premier’s enthusiasm, but the reality is the Evergreen Line is fully funded by the two cents of gas tax,” he said, noting a request for proposals has already been issued and ground broken.

Multiple studies have shown that nearly half a million Canadians age 50 or older are affected by dry eye syndrome (DES) There are multiple risk factors for dry eye including age, female gender, systemic diseases, medications, contact lens wear and laser surgery. Certain environmental conditions can also exacerbate dry eye symptoms. Left untreated, one may suffer with chronically red, sore and watery

eyes, that are more vulnerable to infection. Luckily there are some effective treatment options available for chronic dry eye. Dr Sally Donaldson has a focus on looking after dry eyes. She will do a complete evaluation in the ofﬁce to diagnose the cause and severity of your dry eye, and come up with a detailed plan for the treatment. New treatments with prescription eye drops can be very effective for more severe dry eye. Punctal occlusion (blocking of the tear drain), nutriceuticals, and tear supplementation, are also very helpful in the long-term management of this chronic condition.

Last October, after entertaining an enthralled audience at the lodge with her tribute to Patsy Cline, she promised she would return with this all-star Vegasstyle show. Described as “part vaudevillian comic, part torch singer and part sexy siren,” Kilroe looks, acts and sings like each favourite performer – in a show packed with costume changes and audience participation.

Lion In Winter White Rock Players Club’s next production is its Theatre B.C. entry, the medieval drama of royal intrigue The Lion In Winter, by James Goldman and directed by community theatre veteran Dale Kelly (April 11-28, Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) The production will feature two star performers of recent Players Club seasons, Ben Odberg (as Henry II of England) and Lori Tych as his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. The 1966 play imagines a Christmas in the year 1183 at Henry’s French chateau at Chinon in the Anjou region, and the verbal and psychological battles between the king and Eleanor – imprisoned by him for supporting a rebellion against his rule – and their sons Richard, Geoffrey and John. Also at court: Philip II of France and his half sister Alais – who is, in Goldman’s version, at least, Henry’s mistress. From April 29 to May 5, the club will host the Theatre B.C. zone festival, in which its entry will be judged alongside other notable productions from community

Their guests include the erratic Christopher Wren, the hypercritical Mrs. Boyle, retired military man Major Metcalf, the mannish Miss Casewell, and mysterious foreigner Mr. Paravicini – all of whom are promptly stranded at Monkswell by a snowstorm, just as news arrives of a murder in London... with the addendum that the manor house may be next on the murderer’s itinerary.

Brandon Tanev’s game-winner propels Surrey past Cowichan and into conference finals

Eagles advance with OT win Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

You know what they say – the third time’s the charm. The Surrey Eagles certainly subscribe to that cliché after a 3-2 overtime win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night in South Surrey. Brandon Tanev’s marker, on a three-on-two rush at 3:42 of overtime, gave the Birds a 4-3 series win and a date with the Powell River Kings in the BC Hockey League Coastal Conference finals, which begin today (Tuesday). Saturday’s win was the Eagles’ third straight attempt to eliminate Cowichan. On Thursday in South Surrey, up 3-1 in the series, the Eagles lost 2-1, and Friday in Duncan, with another chance to ice the series, they lost in overtime when goaltender Andrew Hunt – who’d been brilliant throughout the series – mishandled a puck that Caps’ Vinny Muto deposited into the net, giving Cowichan life for another day. Surrey had much better luck Saturday, although some of the 1,000plus Eagles fans in attendance could be forgiven for thinking the game might slip away. As they did in Thursday’s loss, Surrey nursed a one-goal lead for much of the game Saturday, but it only held until the final minute when Cowichan’s Brett Knowles tied the game 2-2 on a shorthanded goal, and sent the visitors into the intermission with momentum. But Tanev’s goal, with assists to Tyler Morley and Brett Mulcahy, ended any hope of Cowichan completing the comeback. “I really thought we played our best game of the series Friday, even though we lost. But the guys weren’t worried. There was nobody saying, ‘oh, no, Game 7.’ They were excited for it, and to be playing at home,” Erhart said. “But the series was what I expected it to be, because both teams are so close. Even when we were up, I didn’t feel like we had total control of it. “With overtimes, some bounces,

Members of the Surrey Eagles swarm forward Brandon Tanev seconds after he scored the overtime winner Saturday in Game 7 Saturday. The win gave Surrey the series victory over Cowichan Valley. some good goals, great goaltending… over seven games, this was quite a series.” Hunt was again the story for Surrey, earning first-star honours in the series-clinching win after stopping 42 shots on net, including one big stop early in overtime. He finished the series with a 3.13 goals-against average – a number inflated due to small sample size and by allowing five goals in the Eagles’ 7-5 Game 4 win. “You don’t win in the playoffs without great goaltending. Over the course of a long series, there’s always a goal or two you’d like back, but he gave us a chance to win every single night,” Erhart continued.

Alex Hagen, who’d been held to a single assist in the first six games of the series, scored the Eagles’ other two goals. Steven Iacobellis scored Cowichan’s first, near the end of the second period. In Friday’s loss, Eagles’ rookie defenceman Devon Toews led the way with his first career hattrick, and finished the series as the team’s leading playoff scorer with eight points in seven games. “He’s been really good for us, especially the second half of the season and into the playoffs. Even at 17, I think he’s one of the best defencemen in the league,” Erhart said. “Him and (Steve) Koshey, as a pair, played some big minutes for us. They were both great.”

The Eagles only had two days to prepare for their next opponent, Powell River, who won the other Coastal semifinal 4-2 over the Coquitlam Express. The Eagles travel to Powell River for Game 1 tonight. Game 2 will be played in Powell River Wednesday, and the series shifts back to South Surrey for games on Friday and Saturday. This will be the second year in a row Surrey and Powell River have faced off in the Coastal Conference finals. Last year, Powell won the series in six games. “There’s about 10 guys still here from last year, so this has a bit of a rematch/revenge feel for them, and we’re looking forward to getting after it,” Erhart said.

A pair of Earl Marriott Secondary rugby players helped lead their B.C. Elite Youth Sevens U18 team to a first-place finish last week at the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sevens tournament, which began March 22 in Kowloon. Bobby Devaney and Ian McMaster both hit the pitch at the event, which is one of the more renowned stops on the International Rugby Board Sevens World Series’ schedule, while a third South Surrey player, Marriott’s Quinton Willms, missed the event due to injury. All three were part of the B.C. Sevens squad that won a title at Las Vegas Sevens earlier this year. In Hong Kong, the U18s – competing in their first-ever tourney outside of North America – went undefeated en route to the championship, scoring 22 tries in four matches, while holding their opponents scoreless. Opposition in the eight-team tournament was made up of sides from Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. “B.C. were deserving winners and turned some heads at the tournament as the other players and coaches were impressed with the team’s speed and skill,” said Doug Tate, B.C.’s team manager and former Canadian national sevens team head coach. In round-robin play, B.C. blanked Hong Kong club team Dea Tigers-II 63-0, downed the HongKong-based Flying Kukris 40-0, and beat Thai club Bangkok-Lions 28-0. The final was a much closer affair, where B.C. handed the Dea Tigers-I a 21-0 defeat. “The cup fi nal was a much more physical game and B.C. had to defend well to stop the Dea Tigers from scoring. A strong second half put the game away, as the defensive pressure forced the Dea Tigers into a series of mistakes.” - with files from Comox Valley Record

Peace Arch United now set for provincial tournament in April

Glenn Bell & Ralph Giuriato

Double cups for U13 boys When the Peace Arch United U13s hit the soccer pitch at provincials next month, they’ll be looking to add to a trophy case that’s already plenty full. Already this season, the U13 Div. 1 boys squad has captured two championships – the league cup and, most recently, the Delta District Cup, which they claimed after a 4-2 win over North Delta earlier this month. In the district final on March 3, North Delta took an early 1-0 lead on a breakaway goal but Peace Arch knotted the scored at

1-1 soon after, when Oscar Patel Thompson scored on a penalty shot, which he was awarded after being hauled down in the penalty area on the previous play. Delta scored once more before halftime, but Peace Arch turned the tide in the second half, first on a goal from Matt Mosher, who converted after a great setup from Justin Koprowski and Malachi McMullen. Koprowski made it 3-2 for PAU later in the half, when he converted on yet another penalty kick, and Mosher tallied his sec-

ond of the game when, after taking a pass from Patel Thompson, he slid the ball past the North Delta keeper from a tight angle. Defensively, PAU was led by Matthew Brown, Brayden Lyons and Seth Hayward, while Jakob Graves, Dawson Ribiero, Max Marra and James Bogart also played well for the victorious Peace Arch crew. Peace Arch United now prepares for the Coastal Cup provincial tournament, which begins in April. - Nick Greenizan

Colts, Falcons finish on provincial podium Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Seven local minor hockey teams – including three from the Surrey Female Hockey Association – had their eyes on a provincial title last week, competing at B.C. Hockey championships throughout the province. The Cloverdale Colts found success on the ice at bantam tier 1 competition in Kamloops, finishing second after a 6-5 loss to the Burnaby Winter Club in the championship game. Prior to the loss to BWC, the Colts dispatched Prince George 7-1 in semifinals, and prior to that, defeated the Victoria Racquet Club, 7-4; Kelowna, 4-1; Kamloops, 8-2; and Burnaby Winter Club, 5-3. The SFHA’s Surrey Falcons also had a successful week. The Falcons’ peewee squad finished in second place, dropping a narrow 1-0 game to the North Shore in Thursday’s final. The Falcons went undefeated in the six-game round-robin portion of the tournament, held in Richmond, defeating Vancouver Island, 6-1; Prince George, 9-0; Rossland-Trail, 1-0; Vernon, 2-0; and Richmond, 2-1. Last Monday, on Day 2 of the tourney, the Falcons tied North Shore 3-3. In addition to their silver-medal provincial showing, the Falcons are the reigning Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association champs, having defeated the North Shore 2-1 in the finals earlier this month. The bantam Falcons also had a good week, placing third at 10-team provincials in Victoria. Surrey went 2-3-1 in round-robin action, before advancing to the bronze-medal game, where they lost 2-1 to the North Shore. Ashley Long scored for Surrey. The Falcons started strong, defeating the North Island Edge 6-1. Long netted four
