Council members ‘have to keep an open mind’ as city gathers information, mayor says

Casino decision on hold till new year Dan Ferguson, Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

Incomplete information is being cited for the postponement this week of a scheduled hearing concerning the gaming licence for a proposed casino in South Surrey. Surrey council was to discuss the issue at a land-use meeting Monday afternoon. A delay until Dec. 10 was announced Friday, meaning the earliest that a public hearing on

the matter could be held is Jan. 14, the date of the next regular council meeting. “There’s a number of things we have not received yet,” Mayor Dianne Watts told Peace Arch News Monday. “It’s important to make sure that we have all of the information.” Staff have told city council that more time is needed to review and analyze letters from residents and other members of the public, “receive and consider comments from the

City of White Rock and the Township of Langley... and to consider the comments that have been received from the Semiahmoo First Nation.” As well, they need to review a socio-economic impact study by the B.C. Lottery Corporation, and a finalized traffic-impact study. Watts said of those who have contacted her in regards to the casino, she is hearing “some for and some against” the project. But she

has yet to make up her own mind, she said. “Going into public hearing, we have to be open to listening to all information,” she said. And while Gateway and BCLC say the complex – eyed as part of a $100-million project proposed for 18 acres of a 25-acre site at 10 Avenue and 168 Street – would produce $6 million annually for the city, Watts said those funds are not the deciding factor. › see page 4

Elementary schools locked down as police helicopter circles

Break-in turns into Code Red for students Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Code Red alert put two South Surrey elementary schools into lockdown Thursday afternoon, after police were called to an interrupted break-and-enter in the Morgan Creek area. School district spokesman Doug Strachan confirmed shortly before students were to be let out for the day that a police request prompted the alert at Rosemary Heights and Morgan elementaries around 2 p.m., “because of something they’re investigating in the neighbourhood.”

Students were told to sit under their desks and keep clear of classroom windows, after patrol cars and an RCMP helicopter were tasked to the area when a resident reported arriving home to find three unknown individuals leaving his house. The homeowner and a neighbour attempted to chase down the trio, but were unsuccessful. A police spokesperson told Peace Arch News that officers looking for the three individuals set up a perimeter in the area and brought in a dog team to help with the search.

A rented cube van believed to be associated with the crime was stopped by police one block east of Rosemary Heights Elementary – at 36 Avenue and 156 Street – containing what appeared to be stolen property; a woman could be seen in the back of a police car as children walked past on their way home. The dog team located a second suspect near 160 Street and 40 Avenue. Strachan emphasized the incident posed no threat to the schools’ students or staff. › see page 4

The year-old flex schedule at Earl Marriott Secondary has failed to fix overcrowding problems at the South Surrey school, teachers say. And the situation, notes a letter to the school’s Parent Advisory Council, could put students at risk. “With over 500 extra students, many staff at Earl Marriott Secondary believe the safety of students may be compromised in the event of a real emergency,” writes Mark Figueira, who sent the letter last month on behalf of a staff committee. But while school officials agree there are challenges, they disagree with the suggestion the situation is endangering students. Principal Peter Johnston said the situation would be even worse without the flex schedule. It was implemented at EMS last year, when the school day was extended to five blocks from four. Junior grades attend in the first four blocks – from 8 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. – and most seniors in the final four, from 9:24 a.m. to 3:34 p.m. According to Figueira’s letter, there are several problems associated with trying to educate 1,950 students in a space designed for 1,500 that have not been addressed by the new schedule. › see page 4

Nearly half of province recently ‘shopped in U.S.’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two-thirds of B.C. residents have crossed the U.S. border to shop in the past year and 45 per cent have done so within the past three months, according to a poll released last week. Ipsos Reid conducted the online survey of nearly 2,500 B.C. residents in October. Ninety per cent of respondents knew dutyfree limits on purchases Canadians bring back were increased June 1 for overnight visits to the U.S. But only nine per cent said that led them to shop more over the line. Retail price differences between U.S. and Canadian merchants was the top reason for cross-border shopping – listed by two-thirds of respondents. The availability of deals in the U.S., better selection at retailers there and the currency

exchange rate were also factors cited by about half of those polled. The costs of heading across the border – gas, food or a hotel room – were less likely to drive decision making. “It will be interesting to see how these numbers are impacted by the influx of American retailers to Canada,” Ipsos Reid senior vice-president Dave Pierzchala said. “These figures suggest that Canadians will still be heading to the U.S. unless the U.S. retailers operating in Canada offer pricing in Canadian locations that is in line with their U.S. pricing.” Nearly a quarter of respondents said they sometimes feel guilty about cross-border shopping instead of buying in Canada. Asked if they had ever lied to a customs agent about how much they spent in the U.S., 15 per cent said yes and 83 per cent said no.

Banned firearms taken mainly from U.S. residents who are licensed to carry them there

Border laws ‘criminalize good people’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A man who pleaded guilty to smuggling and possession of a prohibited weapon has been fined $5,000 in connection with the offences. But the lawyer for Robert Paul Cominos says his client is among many U.S. residents who are being penalized by a Canadian law that is catching the wrong bad guys. Cominos, said Craig Sicotte, was legally entitled to carry the loaded .40-calibre pistol – concealed, even – that was found in the glove box of his car last spring – just not in Canada. “They’re licensed to carry (in Washington),” Sicotte said of Cominos and one other recent client charged with similar offences. “It just doesn’t apply in Canada.” Cominos was arrested April 24 at the

Marvin Lynn Anderson was ordered in Surrey Provincial Court to pay $5,000 for each of two firearms-related charges – gun smuggling and possession of a restricted firearm – that resulted from his June 28, 2011 arrest at the Pacific Highway border. Guards had found an unloaded .38-calibre pistol and a magazine with five rounds of ammunition in a duffel bag on the front passenger seat of a northbound vehicle. At least one other case will be making its way through the court system in the coming months. Last month, border guards at Pacific Highway seized a 9mm Sig Sauer P226 Elite and three high-capacity magazines from the cab of a traveller’s tractor. One traveller was arrested and turned over to Surrey RCMP.

Taking steps to keep drunks off the road Boaz Joseph Black Press

More than a thousand pair of shoes lined the steps of Surrey Provincial Court Saturday as part of an awareness campaign to eliminate impaired driving. Markita Kaulius and Families for Justice placed 1,074 pairs of shoes on the courthouse steps on Nov. 22 to draw attention to the number of people killed by drunk drivers in Canada last year. Markita’s daughter, Kassandra, was killed in May 2011, when her car was hit by a drunk driver at 64 Avenue and 152 Street. The demonstration comes only days after figures were released by the province showing a dramatic drop in drunk-driving fatalities

White Rock residents may be looking at a smaller-thananticipated property tax increase. According to a staff report, an increase of 2.8 per cent is proposed for the coming year, down more than one per cent from the 3.94 per cent that was projected in the city’s 2012-2016 financial plan. The new figure – presented to the city’s finance committee Monday night, after Peace Arch News deadline – translates to $77 for the average single-family home and $30 for the average strata property. Major drivers behind the projected increase are inflationary increases, funding two management positions and a police officer, higher facility utility costs and increased funding for parks maintenance, the city’s director of financial services reports. Staff are recommending some increases and new fees, including a new secondary suite service fee of $250 per suite. The projected $250,000 annual revenue is proposed to assist with construction and operations of city infrastructure. Operating-budget requests that are not recommended for 2013 funding include $58,000 requested for parks maintenance; $15,000 in increased remuneration for auxiliary firefighters; and $24,000 for an additional summer bylaw officer. In addition to the property tax increase, the 2013 drainage user fee is proposed to increase by five per cent (to $295 from $281 for a single-family detached home; to $82 from $78 for stratas); and residential and commercial sanitary sewer user fees are each expected to increase by $5. Earlier this year, property taxes were increased by 2.5 per cent after city staff were told to rethink the 4.57 per cent hike that was initially proposed for 2012.

Hunt opposes gambling expansion › from page 1 “For me, personally, it’s not a huge issue,” she said. “It is a part of the picture and it all has to be weighed out.” Watts would not comment on opponents’ arguments regarding the association of casinos with crime and social problems.

Coun. Marvin Hunt, however, was more clear about his stance. He told PAN last week by email that while he is looking forward to the public hearing, he does not support the expansion of gambling. “I have seen firsthand the destruction that a gambling

addiction can cause,” Hunt writes. Preliminary designs call for a 60,000-square-foot gaming floor, 800-seat theatre, 27,000-squarefoot convention and entertainment zone, a 200-room, four-star hotel, four restaurants and three lounges.

Sense of community ‘takes a hit’ › from page 1 The volume of students moving in the halls during class-change is “overwhelming,” he writes. As well, it is “virtually impossible” for janitorial staff to keep the school clean; there is not enough lab, home-ec, phys-ed or library space; and, if a student becomes ill, there is no bed for them to lie down while they wait for a ride home because the former firstaid room was converted into a handicapped washroom. Student learning is compromised and the sense of community amongst students and staff has also been lost, Figueira writes. Relief is still years away. The provincial government approved the purchase of land last year for a new secondary school in Grandview to reduce the congestion at Earl Marriott. The site was acquired in the summer, and school district officials estimate it will be another four years before a new school opens. Figueira told Peace Arch News the concern is that if the student population continues to grow at

Alert › from page 1 The schools’ Code Red alert issued was quickly downgraded to a Code Yellow and then a Code Green, lasting for about 30 minutes in total. A Code Red is typically called in response to a perceived lifethreatening situation. Students are kept silent inside their classrooms and instructed to stay down and away from windows or doors. A Code Yellow alert indicates a danger has been identified outside. Students remain in their classrooms; doors to the building may be locked. Code Green indicates any threat has abated. Police say Thursday’s alerts were mainly a precaution. Strachan said police consideration of students’ safety during such operations is “always appreciated.” Two Surrey residents – a woman, 40, and a man, 42 – were arrested in connection with the break-in. Charges including possession of stolen property, breakand-enter and robbery are anticipated. One suspect is at large.

that has been successful.” An emailed statement from the ministry of education notes the district’s capital plan ranks construction of the facility fourth, behind the new Clayton North Secondary school and additions at Adams Road Elementary and Rosemary Heights Elementary. Parent Stacey MacDonald, who has two children attending Earl Marriott who require separate trips to accommodate start times, wants EMS made a high priority. “We can’t wait three to five years,” the South Surrey resident said, noting the system to approve a school is too cumbersome. She questioned the rule that there must be enough students to fill a school before one is built, something that prevents planning ahead. “The process is just crazy.” MacDonald, a member of the Earl Marriott PAC and the Ad Hoc Committee for Surrey Schools praised the staff committee for going public with their concerns, calling the letter “extremely moving.”

its current rate of 50 students per year, the school will reach a “tipping point” that will force a move to split shifts – where half the students attend in the morning and half in the afternoon and there is no overlap. District spokesperson Doug Strachan said there is no plan to adopt a split shift at Earl Marriott. He said the flex schedule has succeeded in reducing some of the pressure on school resources. “It’s not ideal (but) there is nothing short of a new school to address it,” Strachan said. “There has been considerable lobbying for funding for a new school and

Fish spotted in creek behind school

Jake Ballance and Griffin Knight, Grade 12 students at Sullivan Heights Secondary, were among the students who flocked to Sullivan Creek Friday to watch spawning salmon.

Plenty of FREE Parking

Black Press

Nobody at Sullivan Heights Secondary School can remember it happening before. Bright red coho salmon – adult seven-pounders – spawning right behind the school in rain-swollen Sullivan Creek. “It’s truly awesome,” principal Rex Hayes said. “The kids are really excited about this.” Hayes almost didn’t believe it himself when teacher Jeff Vaughan spotted the fish in the creek, which is a tributary of the

Serpentine River. “We walk back there and lo and behold, there it is – a seven- or eight-pound salmon, bright red.” Call it the little creek that could. Sullivan Creek – a stream small enough to step over – once ran underneath where the school now sits. Carrie Baron, Surrey’s drainage and environment manager, said the creek was diverted when the school was built about a decade built. Rock and woody debris was carefully placed to make it a more

welcoming riparian habitat for salmonids, as the creek supports both coho and chum salmon. Baron had assumed the fish were doing well, but said Sullivan Secondary’s report is the first visual confirmation she’s heard of it. Classes practically ground to a halt as students headed out Friday afternoon to watch several salmon wriggle up and downstream. “I’ve never actually seen [salmon spawning] before,” vice-principal Bal Ranu said. “It’s the coolest thing to see.”

quick look outside will tell you we’re tightly in the grip of fall weather. That means rain. Lots of it. And – as was the case Monday – even some early morning frost and ice, as the calendar creeps closer and closer to winter. Of course, there is also the darkness to contend with. Late into the morning and earlier in the afternoon. It is, to be sure, a dangerous time of year for motorists, and, especially, for pedestrians. On the Semiahmoo Peninsula, there have been a number of crashes – some quite serious – since we turned the clocks back earlier this month. Statistics from ICBC show almost a third of pedestrian collisions involving injuries or fatalities occur in November, December and January. A little common sense on our roads would go a long way to reducing those numbers. For pedestrians, it means wearing bright clothing, ideally with a reflective strip or two, so motorists can distinguish you through the gloom. Cross streets using marked, and preferably lit, crosswalks. Motorists peering into the darkness through rain-slicked windshields are already coping with a lot, from the faded and swamped lane markings to the glare from oncoming headlights; the last thing they’re ready for is a dark figure bolting from the shadows across their path. When walking along the shoulder, where there are no sidewalks, face oncoming traffic. That way motorists can at least see your face, and you will be able to see what’s coming. Drivers can also do their part to improve safety during these dark, rainy months. Ensure your windshield wipers are doing their job; if they aren’t, it’s time to replace them. Check that all the lights on your vehicle are working, and that the headlights are aimed properly so they don’t blind oncoming cars or pedestrians. When driving in difficult conditions, use the low beams, as the high beams will just reflect the rain or fog, actually making it harder to see. Check your tire tread. Worn tires will take longer to stop, and are more likely to hydroplane. Most importantly, slow down and drive according to the conditions.

government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the BC Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a lowwage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Resident’s Qs appreciated Editor: Re: Scrapped vehicles ‘a shame,’ Nov. 6. Thank you to resident Ron Eves, regarding the disposal of the White Rock trucks. I am glad that there is someone in the community doing the work that all of our well-paid city staff, councillors, managers and mayor seem unable to do. Now, at last, I see that the city has moved most of the bicycle signs that were erected in front of stop signs. I wonder how much this blunder has cost us. Don Koenen, White Rock

Tell us cost of waste changes Editor: There’s now a remote-controlled manipulator device at the side of Surrey’s garbage trucks to lift the new black, blue and green bins. Questions. How much time-consuming delay is there for the operator to angle bins precisely for pickup when householders place incorrectly? How many jobs were lost in Surrey for this implementation? How much money for double-time on holiday pickups? How much money for lit signage on roads to let people know when pickup will be and holiday signage implementation, too? Sandra Glover, Surrey

four years; Danyliuk is sentenced to 24 months less a day, exactly what his lawyer had sought. The revolving door continues. Also, what about holding the car’s owner responsible for aiding him by filing a false stolen-auto report and failing to turn him in to the police? Haven’t we had enough? Shirley Bond, the AttorneyGeneral of B.C., must instruct the Crown to appeal this sentence. Hans J. Larsen, Lantzville

Safety trumps aesthetics Editor: For years now, the corners of 128 Street at 24 and 20 Avenues have been the bane to drivers turning left. On both of these intersections, there are both left and right turning lanes. If you are travelling north or south and you need to turn east or west, the lanes are marked with a right-turn arrow and a sign that says “right turn only except buses.” With this in mind, many drivers ignore the sign and drive around people trying to turn across traffic in front of them. When they go around, of course, there are many collisions or near misses. I have been nearly missed five times in my car and twice pedaling my bike. Most recently, while turning east on to 20 Avenue, a white pickup truck passing around the traffic almost hit me, followed by a motorcycle that came close. There was a big look of surprise on the motorcyclist’s face, as the truck blocked his view. I was going to write this letter

sooner, except that the city has been doing a lot of work at these intersections, so I figured they are going to finally correct the problem. Well it looks like all the work is complete and, yes, it is much prettier with new sections of sidewalk with railings and lawn, but it seems nothing at all was done to make the area safer for drivers. I don’t get it. Brian Lauder, Surrey

TransLink cash can be found Editor: Our scarce dollars are not being allocated to the proper transportation priorities. We ‘south of Fraser’ resident taxpayers recently listened to the province announce $60.5 million in transportation projects for the region (Freeway on-ramp official, Oct. 16). Unfortunately, TransLink is not included in the province’s transportation budget. This is wrong. Because of a $30 million funding shortfall, we ‘south of Fraser’ residents are facing withheld transit-service improvements. And please don’t blame the mayors, who are fighting the province on this issue by holding the line on additional property tax increases (Bus plan rests on mayors, Sept. 20). I, for one, would gladly forego the $24-million Highway 99/16 Avenue interchange in exchange for better public transit. But it seems our provincial representatives don’t want us to have this kind of choice. All they consider is the need for more tax. Neil Emmott, White Rock n

An open letter to TransLink board of directors. I think it is absolutely despicable of your organization to unilaterally increase all fares for service (Transit fares set to increase, Nov. 15). You do this in a very arrogant fashion, because you can or think you can. You have no consideration or feeling for your customers – us, the general commuting public – and how we might be adversely affected. I – and I know many thousands will support me here – object most strenuously to your tax increases. I believe you have done nothing to reduce costs in the grand scale. What have you done about reducing overheads: number and sizes of departments; cutting executive salaries; moving offices to efficient buildings; negotiating efficiencies with unions; buying better equipment; installing turnstiles at all SkyTrain stations and vigorously prosecuting offenders; removing seniors’ discounts; better purchasing agreements; innovative selling of advertising; getting rid of useless employees and not replacing them? I believe you have not considered these actions seriously, because increasing taxes is a much easier way of doing it, and to hell with your customers. It will be cheaper for me to be a walk-on passenger on the ferries and hire a car on the other side – thus further reducing your income – and going across at least 10 per cent less from now on. The more it costs, the less the services will be used. I will take my car to Vancouver to exclude you from getting my bus fares, park and ride charges and goodwill, even if it costs me more. Ivan Scott, Surrey

No message for future offenders Editor: Re: Hit-and-run killer sentenced to two years, Oct. 25. What an absolutely pathetic and totally inadequate sentence. Two sets of concurrent sentences of two years – less a day, actually – means Kyle Brandon Danyliuk serves one amount of time each for multiple offences. Also, there is no mention of him being held responsible for driving with no license; he’s never had one and therefore, no insurance either. Assuming Justice Michael Hicks is right about Danyliuk having “learned his lesson already,” and therefore, does not need further deterrence, what does this laughable sentence do to deter some young punk from doing something equally heinous to another innocent person? No wonder our court system is plugged, when the sentences they do hand down – after considerable resources are expended – do not dissuade anyone from breaking the law, and then it begins all over again. As this ruling demonstrates, everyone seems to be just going through the motions, and we all pay the price. The people, including Marilyn Laursen’s family, asked for

MP Russ Hiebert questionnaire

A questionnaire sent out by MP Russ Hiebert – and on the Conservative website – is discouraging, writes W. Knight.

Impolitic to use Remembrance Day Editor: It was profoundly distressing to receive a mailout from MP Russ Hiebert using the occasion of Remembrance Day to solicit feedback on government performance. This mailout was even more discouraging given the federal government’s cursory treatment of veterans, forcing some veterans to access the courts to request fair compensation for service-related disabilities and

earnings loss benefits. It is very regrettable that Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) took this route on an issue that should be treated on a strictly bipartisan level and that needs immediate federal government intervention and support so that our veterans can focus on recovery as opposed to lengthy court action.

Trial set for ‘targeted attack’ Two Surrey men charged in connection with a “targeted attack” in White Rock earlier this year are to be tried on the charges over five days starting next week. Robert Dean Orr and Tyrone Stuart McDougall are scheduled for trial beginning Dec. 3 in Surrey Provincial Court. The pair were arrested following a May 24 raid in which police rescued a man from a home in the 15300-block of Pacific Avenue. Both were charged with two counts each of forcible confinement, aggravated assault, assault

and theft. Orr, who remains in custody, was charged with additional counts of assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Following the raid, police told Peace Arch News a 24-year-old and a 40-year-old – both White Rock residents – suffered injuries in an attack that allegedly occurred on May 22. Following the rescue, the younger man spent a day in hospital for his injuries. Police reported that his eyes were swollen shut and he had a welt on the back of

his head. The raid was carried out by members of the White Rock RCMP and the CFSEU (Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit), the regional agency that investigates organized crime activity. On Oct. 26, a warrant was issued for McDougall after he twice failed to appear for scheduled court dates, however, Const. Janelle Shoihet said records indicate McDougall turned himself in days later and the warrant was cancelled. – Tracy Holmes

No update on missing White Rock man The whereabouts of a White Rock man who was reported missing more than a month ago remain a mystery. Revelstoke RCMP confirmed last week that no further trace of David Anthony Klammer has

been found since his 2003 Subaru Impreza was located on Nov. 5. Klammer, 39, was reported missing by his family on Oct. 21, 13 days after he left his parents’ home in Saskatchewan. He was headed home to White Rock.

On Oct. 26, a backpack belonging to Klammer was found in the bush on a logging road. Banking records show he was in Penticton, Vernon, Kelowna and Princeton prior to the missing report.

All nine operating rooms at Surrey Memorial Hospital are again up and running after all but one was shut down in last week’s flood. Fraser Health officials said Wednesday there should be no more surgery postponements as a result of the Nov. 19 disruption. They still expected it would take up to two weeks to reopen the closed ER. Peace Arch Hospital ER is running 36 per cent above its usual volume, as patients are directed there and to other hospitals. Langley Memorial is running at 16 per cent above normal and Burnaby is 10 per cent higher. A total of 108 SMH surgeries slated for last Monday and Tuesday were rescheduled following the water main break that sent water gushing through its ER. A temporary ER and triage area

was set up at the nearby Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgical Centre. It’s expected the “significant” damage costs will be covered by the insurance of the contractor whose machine burst the water main. ER staff moved patients who were near a wall after the contractor warned that there was water building behind it. Staff soon saw the water behind the glass wall and had three minutes to get patients out before it burst. “The water ran through for about 20 minutes – there was so much water built up behind that wall it took that long to come through,” said Christine Predy, a manager at SMH. “A river of current came through the department.” Workers have cut away a foot or so of drywall at the bottom of all the ER walls and officials say the cleanup work is going well.

Celebrate a Life offers people an opportunity to stop and remember a loved one who has died, while also helping raise awareness of the programs and services Hospice offers in their community. From December 1 to 23, White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society Volunteers host a Celebrate a Life Tree at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Visitors are invited to write their loved one’s name on a paper dove and hang it on the Tree to honour their memory. With a donation of $20 or more they will also receive as a keepsake to take home, a beautiful wooden dove, hand painted by local artists. Each dove is as unique as the memory of their loved one.

Students in running for scholarship

Teens vie for award Tracy Holmes

F

Staff Reporter

our South Surrey students are among 34 Canadian teens in the running for a full-ride scholarship to one of the world’s top-ranked universities. Semiahmoo Secondary’s Akshiv Bansal, Lloyd James and Fred Zhu, along with Southridge School’s Prem Ramani, were in Toronto Monday, as finalists for the Blyth Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship – an award worth $150,000 – being interviewed by the award selection committee. It is the largest financial award available to Canadian students pursuing undergraduate degrees. It leaves winners with no expense unpaid, covering everything from airfare and tuition to pocket money. For Semi, the announcement marks the third year in a row that the school’s students have made the University of Cambridge shortlist. Last year, two Semi students – Tristan Downing and Pradeep Venkatesh – were shortlisted, and Downing learned in January that he was selected to receive one of three scholarships. Awards also went to Victoria’s Chloe HouleJohnson and Ontario’s James Rickards. Downing, who went on to help Canada win bronze at the International Physics Olympiad in Estonia last July, is now studying at Cambridge’s Pembroke College, on track to complete his masters of engineering. For Southridge, this is the second year in a row that a

student has been shortlisted. Olivia Podmore made the list last year. Senior school academic director Jan Holt described Ramani as “a very strong candidate” for the award. “Because he’s such a renaissance sort of guy; all-round in all sorts of ways.” In addition to taking several advanced placement courses, Ramani is involved in the debate program, community service and music, she said.

Bansal, who is also a finalist for the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation’s Loran Award, said his parents have long touted the advantages of going to university – “their lives were so much better because of it,” he said. And while they have also “strongly” encouraged him to consider a career as a doctor, he said he’s more interested in something research-oriented. Zhu said he is keeping his options open, but “wouldn’t mind” becoming a professor. Semi is one of only two Canadian schools to have three students nominated for the Blyth scholarships this year. The scholarships are presented to students who “have shown academic excellence, intellectual depth, personal integrity and success beyond their studies.” Award winners are expected to be announced in January.

Police honoured for service Ten Surrey RCMP officers were among 34 B.C. officers honoured last week with Meritorious Service Awards. Sgt. Drew Grainger, Cpl. Marc Searle, Cpl. Michael Hall, Cpl. Heather Matthew, Constable Tanya Hermann, Constables Leanne Krauss and Amberia Sovdi, Constables Ranjit Singh Seehra and Lucas Sovio, along with one officer whose identity was withheld, received the awards Thursday in a ceremony at Government House marking the province’s 32nd Police Honours Night. The Meritorious Service Award

is presented to officers who act “in a manner significantly beyond the expected.” Grainger and Searle – both South Surrey residents – were noted for their “initiative, tenacity and dedication to duty in significantly reducing crime and violence on the “strip” in Surrey”; Hall, for “exceptional skill and dedication to duty during a complex and difficult investigation of a high-profile gang member”; Matthew and the unnamed officer, for “dedication to duty and tenacity during an investigation of an individual who abused

his authority to sexually assault several victims”; Hermann, for “professionalism, compassion and dedication to duty in her efforts to save the life of a female who had been shot several times”; Krauss and Sovdi, for “exceptional performance and dedication to duty during an investigation of sexual assaults against two young girls”; and Seehra and Sovio, for “dedication to duty and using exceptional judgment in dealing with an intoxicated male armed with a knife.” Another 25 B.C. officers received Awards of Valour.

South Surrey residents launch One Million Skates

New website aimed at hockey families Dan Ferguson

A

Staff Reporter

new online magazine devoted to all things minor hockey has been launched by two South Surrey residents. Christie Judson and Rob Rose say One Million Skates is aimed at hockey parents and their kids. “It’s about celebrating hockey families, the game and, most importantly, helping young players to develop positive memories and great hockey, life and social skills,” said Judson, a frequent contributor to Peace Arch News’ Indulge magazine. “Our primary readership consists of parents of minor hockey players aged five to 20,” said Rose, who is a former junior and collegiate hockey player. The free-subscription site went live Oct. 1. Rose said response has been “very positive” reaching more than 1,000 unique visitors in a matter of weeks. The stats for the website show an average visit duration of 5.28 minutes, with readers coming from every province in Canada and 24 states in the U.S. Subscriptions are increasing daily, Rose said. A recent edition of One Million Skates includes articles about the best scheduling apps, organizers

South Surrey’s Christie Judson and Rob Rose have created One Million Skates, a hockey-centric website. and tips for busy hockey families on the go, along with tips on building a positive team culture from Stanley Cup champion Ryan

Walter. “We’re really happy with the contributors,” Rose told Peace Arch News.

“The number one focus was to get content.” Other contributors include lifestyle writers, health and fitness

experts, a nutrition chef and a sports psychologist. Sections include: • The Kitchen: A play on the hockey term “getting in one’s kitchen” (hockey space), this department highlights high-performance nutrition and practical recipe ideas for quick family dinners, on-the-go snacks, seasonal cooking and special occasions. • The Clock: Practical time management, scheduling and organization tips, as well as health and well-being articles related to the on-the-go lifestyle of busy hockey families. • Overtime: A regular feature highlighting off-ice activities and memorable “après hockey” leisure pursuits. • In the Corner: One of the most challenging and dangerous spots on the ice, “In the Corner” takes on controversial subjects and issues. • Best Skate Forward: Articles, videos, tips, stories and howtos on improving hockey skills, ascending the hockey ranks, game strategy and education, as well as on equipment purchase, care and maintenance. • Pro: Information, tips and advice from leading experts.

I have four children, 16 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, so I need to stay in shape,” she said, noting she also plays bridge and crib, regularly gardens and goes to darts twice a week. “I really force myself to stay fit.” For Eichmeier, Findlater’s story is one that she wants to share because it really reinforces her views on exercise.

As long as you take care of yourself, you will live long and be healthy.” For those who are young at heart and wish to get back into shape, Findlater has just a few words of advice. “Just don’t sit too long and watch television.

Medical travel tips for senior vacationers A sk anyone what they envision doing most in their retirement, and chances are travel will be at the top of their list. For those who have already retired, travelling is a luxury many no doubt look forward to. Now, with the holiday season fast approaching, many will want to escape to a warm destination. Before they go, seniors should consider the following tips. n Pack medications in your carry-on. Prescription medications should be packed in your carry-on whenever travelling to prevent losing vital medications should your checked bags be lost during your travels. n Consult with your physician and create a list of past and current conditions and any medications. In the unfortunate event you lose any of your medication or fall ill during your travels, a list of all current and past conditions and medications can help the physician who will be treating you better understand you and your medical history.

Be sure to inform any travelling companions about this list, and keep it on you at all times. n Figure out time zones and a medication schedule ahead of time. When traveling to different time zones, it can be difficult to adhere to a medication schedule. Before leaving, work out a new schedule that takes into account the different time zones you will be visiting during your travels. n Be sure your vaccinations are up to date. Certain countries mandate your vaccinations are up to date before you can enter the country, and some require vaccinations be administered as early as six weeks before your visit. Be sure all vaccinations are updated in adherence to the guidelines of any country you will be visiting. n Remain hydrated. Planes often have dry air, which can cause dehydration and muscle aches. So be sure to drink plenty of water to guard against dehydration.

Before escaping to your destination, make sure to go over what you will need to stay healthy and happy.

Business licence revoked a month ago due to “chronic” violations

Motel Bollywood closes down Thursday he’s planning to sell the property to someone who will upgrade it and restart the motel. Khatkar wouldn’t comment on his recent experience with the city. One of the main reasons for the cancellation of the business licence, city staff say, was an alleged failure to maintain the guest registry according to the business licence bylaw. Philip Huynh, Surrey’s assistant city solicitor, told Black Press last month that there were also “continued fire safety hazards observed by the fire

The Motel Bollywood is closed after what City of Surrey officials describe as several “chronic” bylaw infractions over the last two years. The city revoked the business licence for the 6670 King George Blvd. business last month and gave the owner 30 days to shut down. Now the business has been shuttered, the lights are out and it’s only occupied by a property caretaker. Owner Gary Khatkar had

Drunk-driving deaths down for second year Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s toughened roadside penalties on drinking drivers are being credited for cutting alcohol-related crash deaths for a second straight year. The province estimates 104 lives have been saved since the immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) system took effect in September 2010. That’s based on a drop from an average of 114 impaired fatalities prior to the new rules to 66 in the first full year of the IRP program and 58 in the second year. Provincial government officials say the initiative has drastically changed British Columbian attitudes to drinking and getting behind the wheel. “As you drive home late at night, the car coming toward you is far less likely to be piloted by an impaired driver than at any time in recent years,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. She said B.C. is so far averaging a 46 per cent drop in drunk driving fatalities – better than a target of 35 per cent set in 2010 in honour of impaired-driving victim Alexa Middelaer, the four-year-old girl

who attended preschool in Crescent Beach. (B.C. Court of Appeal last week upheld driver Carol Berner’s conviction for killing the toddler in 2008, and Berner is now out on bail as she appeals her 2½-year sentence.) The roadside penalties can result in licence suspensions and vehicle impoundments, and can cost drivers $600 to $4,000 in administrative penalties and remedial program costs. The new approach has also meant a major shift away from criminal prosecution of suspected impaired drivers, which consumes much police investigation and court time. A June survey of drivers in five communities (Vancouver, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Prince George and Saanich) found the lowest levels of drinking and driving ever recorded in a series of similar surveys dating back to 1995. Nearly 60 per cent fewer drivers who agreed to be tested for the survey were at or over the 0.08 criminal blood-alcohol level than in past years, and there was a 44 per cent drop in those who tested in the warn range, above 0.05.

Drivers who wanted to take one last commute over the old Port Mann Bridge have missed their chance. All traffic is now using the new span after the westbound lanes were redirected onto the new crossing last week. Eastbound traffic has been using the new bridge since late September. “As of (Nov. 17), the last vehicles would have crossed the old Port Mann Bridge,” said Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson. “It was a smooth traffic flip.” The new bridge officially opens Dec. 1 with eight lanes and drivers will have one week to try it for free before tolls kick in Dec. 8. Just five lanes are now open. “We’re just putting on the finishing touches,” Johnson said, adding the electronic tolling system is being tested and no problems have been detected so far. Another year of construction work will continue on

the western portions of the Highway 1 corridor through Burnaby and Vancouver, as well as the eventual dismantling of the old Port Mann Bridge in 2014. The full 10 lanes won’t be open until late 2013 when the last two lanes are opened. When complete, there will be two lanes in both directions that will act as local traffic-only lanes directly connecting Surrey and Coquitlam. Those drivers – who account for a large portion of Port Mann traffic – will no longer have to merge with other highway traffic to cross. But drivers who enter at 152 Street and exit at Cape Horn to take those separated lanes won’t get the 25 per cent discount offered to registered HOV lane users who cross at peak times.

Marijuana tax estimates based on doubling of price

Pot profits exaggerated Jeff Nagel Black Press

Taxing B.C. bud could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in provincial government revenue each year, but likely not billions, a new study suggests. The study, prepared by UBC and SFU researchers and published in the International Journal of Drug Policy, estimates B.C. marijuana users spend roughly $500 million a year on pot. The Stop The Violence campaign to legalize marijuana has used that figure to infer B.C. could reap $2.5 billion in revenue over five years by heavily taxing the drug. That would mean at least doubling the current price of weed to generate the same amount in tax if it were sold legally in the province – a scenario some observers have warned could keep the gangcontrolled black market alive and well. Washington State, with a similar sized pot-smoking population, has come up with its own estimate of nearly $2 billion in revenue over five years from taxing marijuana. Voters there approved legalization earlier this month. Kevin Hollett, a spokesman for Stop The Violence, defended the idea of tax levels that sharply drive up the price, noting taxes make up 81 per cent of the retail

Taxing B.C. marijuana could generate millions of dollars in revenue. price of tobacco. But SFU criminology professor Neil Boyd said governments hungry to plunder the pot market should be careful how much money they try to extract. “The current price on the black market of marijuana is $200 to $300 an ounce,” he said. “If people who are going to tax and regulate it were going to sell it for $600, you’re still going to have a black market.” Another criminologist, Daryl Plecas, has also argued high taxes just keep the door open for organized crime. He said the main market for gangs would go up in smoke if pot was made legal for anyone to grow and possess and government made no attempt to tax or regulate it, but added that

only works if consistent laws are applied across North America. Boyd said he believes governments could tap a major flow of revenue under legalization without driving too much trade underground. Alcohol is heavily taxed, he noted, but there’s no significant black market. He agreed illegal trade will remain a factor as long as there’s a big export market. A North America-wide scheme would be best, he said, but predicts there’d be “a really significant change” if even half the U.S. states taxed and regulated pot. The new study’s estimates were based on an average price paid in B.C. of $7.50 per gram, although it cautioned most pot smokers may pay more than that.

Clash on transportation priorities what’s Jeff Nagel Black Press

While TransLink asks the public about its plan to selectively cut bus service on some routes, the province is launching its own consultations – on the premier’s recent promise to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Transportation ministry officials will seek public comment on a new Highway 99 crossing of the Fraser River at five open houses in early December in Richmond, Delta and Surrey. The existing tunnel has 10 to 15 years of useful life left before major components must be completely replaced, Transportation Minister Mary Polak said.

Since it takes about a decade to plan and build such a project, preliminary work must start now. “One thing is very clear to us – the status quo is not an option,” Polak said. It’s not yet clear if the new span would be a bridge or a tunnel – or whether it will be tolled. Meetings are set at the Cloverdale Fairground’s Alice McKay Building Dec. 6; and South Surrey’s Morgan Creek Golf Course Dec. 10. (Schedules for both include an open house from 6-9 pm., with a presentation at 8 p.m.) Meetings are also planned in Delta on Dec. 1 and Richmond on Dec. 4 and 11. For more, see

www.masseytunnel.ca A short list of potential replacement options is to be drawn up ahead of more public meetings in the new year. TransLink, meanwhile, is consulting on its plans to further “optimize” service by cutting frequency at some times on some routes in order to boost it on others, where it believes it can serve more riders and pull in more revenue. Transit advocates, who see the two decisions as clashing transportation priorities, say it’s ironic TransLink riders in some areas will soon see less service while planning begins for a costly new bridge or tunnel mega-project on Highway 99.

rethink waSte ColleCtion program firSt month report thanks to the diligence of our residents in diverting organic waste from landfill, surrey’s residential garbage dropped 35% since launching the rethink Waste collection program just one month ago.

Diversion Goal The City’s goal is to cut its annual garbage by half through the new waste collection program. Doing so will bring the City’s residential waste diversion to 75%. This is above Metro Vancouver’s regional 70% diversion goal for 2015 and will place Surrey amongst the world’s top cities for waste diversion. aheaD of scheDule Surrey residents’ commitment towards reducing their garbage has been so great that, based on the first month’s results of the Rethink Program, the City is ahead of initial targets and on pace to achieve our waste diversion goal sooner than expected. next steps The next major step in the program is to build an Organic Waste Biofuel Facility where our organic waste will be processed into renewable natural gas. The City is currently forging ahead with this project with the help of a $17 million federal grant. The facility is expected to be operational by 2015 at which time the natural gas will be used to fuel its existing compressed natural waste collection fleet. Until then, Surrey’s residential organic waste is being transported to Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre where it is processed into a nutrient rich compost and fertilizer.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Phantom of the Panto Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s latest pantomime, The Phantom of the Panto opens Wednesday (Nov. 28) at Surrey Arts Centre. The show, with 7:30 p.m. evening performances, runs until Dec. 9. Following on the success of last year’s Beauty and the Beast (the CTC award-winner for best musical or pantomime production) the new show is an original written by regular FVGSS performer Clive ‘Hitman’ Ramroop, taking a page (or two) from the famed Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and reworking it in broad ‘panto’ style. FVGSS pantos are known as family events both off stage and on and this year’s show is no exception, with some seven families represented by two or more members. Tom Cleevely (The Phantom), for example, will be joined on stage by his daughter, Izabella, 15, a member of the large and enthusiastic chorus. And Chelsea Rose Tucker (Christine) is the daughter of musical director Timothy Tucker. “It’s none of my doing,” said Tom Cleevely, of Izabella’s debut. “I’ve been involved in theatre for a while, and this time she said she would be auditioning, too – she seems to be having fun.” “It’s funny to have to listen to my father again,” said Christine Tucker, laughing. “It’s a little bit interesting because I also assist my mother with her life-coaching business during the daytime.” Also featured in the spoof (helmed by the winning team of producer Reginald Pillay, artistic director Mike Balser, Tucker and choreographer Carol Seitz) will be Jackie Block (Meg Nolia), James Walker (Andre Jyne), Samatha Andrews (Firmin Full), Jeff Christiansen (as the dame, Carlotta Ferrari), Joni Hayden-Summerton (as principal boy Raoul), Jake Hildebrand (Joe Bouquet DeFleur), Adrian Duncan (Punchy Ferrari), Jerret Schwartz (The Skull) and Frannie Warwick (Trappe). For ticket information, call 604501-5566 or visit http://tickets. surrey.ca/

Rock pantomime has been noted for over six decades, under the capable direction of Susanne de Pencier, with musical direction by Kerry O’ Donovan, choreography by Lena Dabrusin, set design by Andrea Olund and costumes by Heather Maximea.

minions Fox (Jennifer Tiles) and Cat (Elyse Raible), survive being swallowed by a whale, rescue his beloved Isabella (Melissa Paras) and even put up with Isabella’s overbearing aunt, Miss Ann Thrope (Bryce Mills).

Bayside, shown here playing Burnaby Lake during a regularseason contest, defeated Burnaby 22-10 Saturday to win the Anna Schnell Cup for the first time in club history.

Bayside women win 42-10 in title game

Sharks edge Burnaby for Schnell Cup Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

With just a one-try lead and the clock slowly ticking down in their Lower Mainland final Saturday, Bayside Sharks coach Kyle Ferguson admits to a few nervous moments. “Oh yeah, it was stressful for sure,” he said. “It was such a tight game up until that point, and I was a little worried – you’re always worried in a situation like that – but the girls held on.”

Up 12-10 on their Burnaby Lake rivals with 15 minutes to go, a Bayside try from Tanya Leigh extended the lead to 17-10 – still just a onescore cushion – and then, with three minutes to go, Ashley Lees provided the insurance marker, to give the Sharks a 22-10 win. The win gave the Sharks senior women’s team the first Anna Schnell Cup championship in club history, and it reversed the fortunes of last fall, when the Sharks lost the final game 6-0 to the same Burnaby side. “It was huge, just a big team effort,”

the coach said. Laura Foreman got the Sharks on the board first, putting them up 5-0 on an early try, but Burnaby battled back and led 10-5 at halftime. Jade Elidoros scored for the Peninsula side early in the second half, and the convert from Rachel Craig put the Sharks up by two. Down 12-10 in the second half, Burnaby Lake had plenty of opportunities to score, but Ferguson credited his team’s tough defence for keeping their rivals at bay. “They had so much pressure

on us at different times, but our defence won it for us. They just stuck it out, and held them (out) every time,” he explained.

U18s lose Bayside’s U18 girls side couldn’t complete the weekend sweep of championship games Sunday, dropping the B.C. title contest 25-7 to Abbotsford at Rotary Stadium. The Sharks were beset by injuries – they played Sunday without the services of four starters, while

a few others played sick – and as such, fielded a lineup full of mostly Grade 8-11 players. “They were in tough against an older team, but I thought they really put up a good fight,” said Sharks manager Sandra Rijken. “It was a really hard-fought game, and second in the province is still deserving of praise.” Bayside fell behind early in the game – “We had a bit of trouble finding our legs early,” Rijken said – but clawed back in the second half and eventually scored a try.

Digital Hearing Aids gain popularity listening situations are just two advantages of digital hearing aids. Generally hearing instrument manufacturers will update their product line once a year, being careful to add the right new features that will benefit you most. But what do you get out of it? Do the new products help you hear better or hear more? First, yes they do help you hear better and hear more! More automatic features help to improve speech clarity better than ever before. Bluetooth technology has made it easy to connect your hearing aids to your mobile phone and television. Its easier than you think to take advantage of these seemingly complicated technologies. The degree of how much they can help will depend on your individual hearing loss and lifestyle needs.

OCEAN PARK MASSAGE THERAPY CLINIC

Second, if you already wear a hearing aid and have owned it more than five years you may want to think about trying something new. Hearing aids are electronics.Electronics you wear on your person, in your ear. They are subjected to wax and moisture on a daily basis and as a result microphones or speakers corrode, internal parts can wear out and sound quality can lower as time goes on. Hearing aids genreally last between four and seven years, a great argument for visiting your hearing clinic at least once or twice a year to ensure they are clean and operating efficiently. Today you can walk into almost any hearing clinic and try a new hearing aid at no cost to you. Have an older hearing aid that you feel is working "fine", you should still think about it, you have nothing to lose.

Surrey wins twice on the road against Prince George Spruce Kings

Stenerson, Toews lead Eagles to OT wins Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles and Prince George Spruce Kings just can’t seem to settle their difference in a timely fashion. Twice on the weekend – and for the third time in three weeks – the Eagles and Kings played into overtime, with Surrey winning each time. On Friday, Surrey got two goals from veteran forward Michael Stenerson, including the double-overtime winner, to beat the Kings 2-1 at the Prince George Coliseum, and in a return engagement Saturday, defeating their northern rivals again, this time 3-2, with blue-liner Devon Toews notching the OT winner. The victories hurdled the Birds into second place, two points up on the the formerly firstplace Kings, who dropped to third in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division. Surrey is 10-2-1 in the last 13 games, giving them a record of 15-7-0-2, which leaves them just four points shy of the division-leading Chilliwack Chiefs. “We’re in a pretty good stretch right now,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart. “We’ve been playing really well defensively, and I think that’s what has really been the key over these 13 or so games. “The whole division is so tight, so you hate to give up the extra (overtime-loss) point to the other team, but the important thing is we get the two points ourselves. If you’d told me we would get four points this weekend, I’d have taken it.” On Friday, Surrey – which now has seven overtime wins to their credit this season – and Prince George played to a scoreless draw

and Stenerson sent the visiting squad off with the win, converting a pass from Trevor Cameron at 3:57 of the period. Santaguida stopped 35 of 36 Prince George shots on net, while Kings’ goalie Kirk Thompson – a Surrey native and former Valley West Hawk major-midget player – stopped 38 in a losing effort. “Both teams had sequences where they controlled the play, but neither team really dominated for any long stretch. It was pretty tight – both games were like that,” Erhart said. On Saturday, it was defenceman Toews who played the hero’s goal, scoring 2:13 into overtime when his shot from the blue line beat Thompson. Brady Shaw and Drew Best, who also had an assist, also scored for Surrey, while Shayne Morrisey scored both Prince George goals. For Toews, it was his second OT goal of the season. The first assist went to another defenceman, rookie Jordan Klimek, which did not go unnoticed by Erhart. “I think that’s partly why we’re having so much success in overtime, because when it goes to four-on-four or three-on-three, guys like Toews and Klimek – and others, too – are good enough to act as the extra forward, but still get back on defence.” The Eagles are back on the ice tonight (Tuesday) for a road game against their division rivals from Langley, and Friday host the Coquitlam Express at South Surrey Arena. Friday’s game is the Eagles’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, where fans are encouraged to bring stuffed toys, to be tossed onto the ice after the home team’s first goal. The bears are then collected and given to children at Christmas.

Santaguida stopped 35 of 36 Prince George shots on net, while Kings’ goalie Kirk Thompson – a Surrey native and former Valley West Hawk major-midget player – stopped 38 in a losing effort. “Both teams had sequences where they controlled the play, but neither team really dominated for any long stretch. It was pretty tight – both games were like that,” Erhart said. On Saturday, it was defenceman Toews who played the hero’s goal, scoring 2:13 into overtime when his shot from the blue line beat Thompson. Brady Shaw and Drew Best, who also had an assist, also scored for Surrey, while Shayne Morrisey scored both Prince George goals. For Toews, it was his second OT goal of the season. The first assist went to another defenceman, rookie Jordan Klimek, which did not go unnoticed by Erhart. “I think that’s partly why we’re having so much success in overtime, because when it goes to four-on-four or three-on-three, guys like Toews and Klimek – and others, too – are good enough to act as the extra forward, but still get back on defence.” The Eagles are back on the ice tonight (Tuesday) for a road game against their division rivals from Langley, and Friday host the Coquitlam Express at South Surrey Arena. Friday’s game is the Eagles’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, where fans are encouraged to bring stuffed toys, to be tossed onto the ice after the home team’s first goal. The bears are then collected and given to children at Christmas.

HEATON, (Rose) Joyce passed away November 22, 2012. Joyce was born in Victoria B.C. on March 27, 1928 to Harry and Zola Ward. Joyce was raised on the family farm at Palmer Saskatchewan. As an RN trained in psychiatry and educator, Joyce worked at Vancouver General Hospital, London UK, Allan Memorial Institute Montreal, BCIT and Douglas College Vancouver. Following her retirement Joyce pursued her interests of gardening, trees, reading and people. Throughout her lifetime, Joyce developed many close and long lasting friendships. Her nephews, niece, great and now great great nephews and nieces were her immediate family whom she cared for deeply. Joyce is predeceased by her parents, Harry and Zola Ward, her brothers Odell (Lyda) and Ronald (Ida), her nephew Jack (Laurie) and by her husband Roy Heaton. She will be remembered by nephew Harry Ward (Shirley), Kathryn (Ryan), Diana (Chris and son Jack), Lisa (Ryan and Lydia), John (Dana) and David (Stephanie). Nephew Brian Ward (Bernie), Corrine (Wes, Madison and Nathan), Lindsey (Mark and Thomas), Rochelle (Reed), and Brittany. Nephew Randy Ward, niece Heather Ward.

MCDOUGALL, Ronald Earl passed away peacefully in White Rock on November 12th. Earl was born on Feb. 3, 1924 in Vancouver. He leaves behind, Mona, his wife of 50 years, brothers Doug and Alan and sisters Sheila and Isabel. Also 3 children from his first marriage, Bonnie, Ian and Grant and stepchildren Sandra and Bruce and many grand and great grandchildren who all loved their Poppa. Earl maintained a life long commitment to community service through the Lions club. He was a successful technology innovator and businessman with over 60 years experience in the oil, gas and fuel tank storage business. His work took him from Victoria to San Diego, from Squamish to the Arrow Dam project where he supervised under contract, the installation of the turbine pumps. He designed and built an oil safety valve that was installed in many of the Pacific Northwest fishing fleets along with his beautiful and famous Phoenix marine stoves and heaters. Poppa was always wheeling and dealing and dispensing his own kind of wisdom along with a full dose of smiles and happiness. He could never turn down an opportunity to lend a hand or a dollar. He was dearly loved and will be sadly missed. No service will be held at this time. Please no flowers. Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his mother Joey (John Born), his children; daughter Gayle (Denny) Chaba and his son Greg (Amber) and their mother Barb. He also leaves behind his sister Lori (Stu) Kirtio, two brothers Rick (Susan) and Jim (Christine) as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Doug was predeceased by his father Tom Swan. Relatives and friends may pay their respects Wednesday, November 28, 2012 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am at Evergreen Funeral Chapel, 16204 Fort Road, Edmonton where a Celebration of Doug’s life will follow at 10:00 am.
