News conference follows community backlash against South Surrey proposal

Biz groups host pro-casino ‘united front’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Surrey and White Rock business leaders are joining in a “united front” to support the Gateway casino/entertainment complex proposed for South Surrey. In a news conference scheduled for Tuesday morning, representatives of the South Surrey White

Rock Chamber of Commerce, the Surrey Board of Trade and the Cloverdale and District Chamber of Commerce were scheduled to speak in support of the complex. “We’re presenting a united front in support of this – that’s what’s different,” said Surrey board CEO Anita Huberman, who added that both she and South Surrey White

Rock chamber executive director Cliff Annable would be among those speaking. Huberman noted that while the business organizations have long supported the $100-million casino, hotel and entertainment complex, proposed for 10 Avenue and 168 Street, Surrey council’s decision to delay discussion of the project

until Dec. 10 means a public hearing will not take place until Jan. 14, and it will be at least the end of January before the fate of the proposal is known. “We wanted to create a bit of momentum and buzz for this before everyone leaves on holidays, and then renew our support in January,” she said.

The business support also comes at a time when a community backlash against the project has emerged, ranging from scores of letters to the editor and jeering of advocates at public meetings, to the formation of ad-hoc organizations and Facebook groups vowing to fight the proposal. › see page 2

One of two men charged in the homicide of SFU Surrey student Maple Batalia will plead not guilty, his lawyer said outside court this week. Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal and a second man charged in the case, Gursimar Singh Bedi, appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Monday. On Sept. 28, 2011, 19-year-old Batalia was gunned down on the third floor of the Central City parkade, Gurjinder Dhaliwal beside Simon Fraser University, following a late-night study session with friends. Just before 1 a.m., she had left for the parkade, where she was shot multiple times in what police believe was a targeted attack. She died in hospital. Maple Batalia At a news conference Saturday, police announced that Maple’s ex-boyfriend, Dhaliwal, 20, and his “associate,” Bedi, 22, had been charged in her death. Dhaliwal is charged with first-degree murder, while Bedi is charged with manslaughter with a firearm and accessory after the fact. › see page 4

Businesses lobby for project › from page 1 Opposition has consolidated around several main points: that it is the wrong location, that it will have costs to the community in crime and social problems, that gambling is immoral and that a new gaming facility is not needed in South Surrey. Meanwhile Cloverdale chamber president Addison Hubert and Cloverdale BIA president Lyle MacMillan have issued a separate statement supporting the proposal. Although Cloverdale business leaders – including chamber executive director Bill Reid – had expressed concerns earlier this year about the facility’s impact on Fraser Downs’ market, assurances that Fraser Downs’ sports-oriented gambling would continue to receive full BC Lottery Corporation support, and that a South Surrey casino would capture a different market, calmed fears by mid-July. The BCLC is working on extending the current support and subsidy contract with Fraser Downs – which still has one year to run – for a further decade, Hubert and Mac-

Millan added. “The (chamber and BIA) support BCLC’s efforts to have two compatible entertainment facilities that can serve different markets, thus creating a stronger Surrey,” they said in their statement. In community meetings, BCLC representatives, including vice-president of casino and community gaming Jim Lightbody, have emphasized that – in addition to a 60,000-sq.-ft. gaming floor – the proposed complex would include an 800-seat theatre, a 200-room four-star hotel, a 27,000-sq.-ft. convention and entertainment zone, four restaurants and three lounges. BCLC has also argued that proactive measures including gambling addiction education, and police and community stakeholder involvement has minimized problems with existing casinos. “In such casino locations as Fraser Downs and River Rock, they’ve seen that issues around crime and gambling addictions have been very minimal, if not at all,” Huberman said.

Two victims hesitant to report beatings because of drug use, court told

Pair admit violent attacks over amp sale Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Two men charged in connection with a violent beating in White Rock earlier this year pleaded guilty to the attack in Surrey Provincial Court Monday. The pleas were entered by the lawyers for Robert Dean Orr and Tyrone Stuart McDougall at the start of what was scheduled to be a five-day trial. The pair were arrested following a May 24 police raid on a home in the 15300-block of Pacific Avenue, and both were charged with two counts each of forcible confinement, assault, aggravated assault and theft in connection with the incident. Orr – who has been in custody since the arrest – was charged with additional counts of assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Monday, both men pleaded to lesser charges

of assault and assault causing bodily harm. McDougall is to be sentenced on Feb. 5. Following a short hearing, Judge Melissa Gillespie handed Orr nine months in custody, noting the term includes the three months he has already spent behind bars. That term began at the end of August, after Orr completed his sentence for another assault, for which he had been on parole at the time of the White Rock incident, the court heard. His parole was revoked following the May arrest. In arguing for a term of between nine months and one year in jail, Crown Angela Lee cited the parole element as an aggravating factor. “The circumstances of that offence are more violent,” she said. Also aggravating is the fact that Orr, 29, waited until the first day of trial to plead guilty, she said.

“It wasn’t until we weren’t able to serve (one of the victims) and the Crown decided not to proceed on all of the charges that Mr. Orr decided” to plead, she said. Lee told Gillespie that the beating occurred on May 22, when Orr and McDougall went to collect on money owed from the sale of an amp. When neither cash nor the equipment was produced, Orr is said to have held one man in a chair while McDougall punched him repeatedly in the face. When a second man arrived home, the pair both struck out, “punching him in the face simultaneously, repeatedly.” “They continued until he lost consciousness,” Lee said. That same man was beaten again when he regained consciousness, she added, and spent 1½ days in hospital as a result. The victims were afraid to immediately

report the assault to police “because they were all involved in using drugs,” she said. Defence counsel Jeremy Fung submitted that a term of six to nine months in custody would be appropriate for Orr, noting Orr was prepared to plead guilty “from the beginning” but had disputed a number of the charges. Fung noted that Orr is a drug addict and has been since he was 14 years old. He is currently in programs for both drug and alcohol addictions, he said. Once released from custody, Orr plans to move to Alberta where he has job prospects, Fung told Gillespie. In addition to another six months in jail followed by a year’s probation, Gillespie ordered Orr to give a DNA sample, and to stay away from both of the victims, as well as McDougall. He is also prohibited from owning or possessing weapons for 10 years.

Pier parade

Boaters hope to rekindle sail past Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

This Saturday, Mike Skulsky, the port captain of the White Rockbased International Yacht Club plans to load a 3,000-watt portable generator aboard his vessel along with 250 feet of Christmas lights. Then Skulsky and some likeminded sailors will take their brightly-lit ships to the waters of Semiahmoo Bay for the clubs’s annual Christmas Light Parade. Normally, the event is held the first Saturday in December, but organizers decided to delay it a week. That’s because the first Saturday also happened to be the first day of December and there was concern it might still be too bright out. Based on the wet and windy conditions experienced last weekend, the delay may have been an inspired move. “It was bloody awful,” Skulsky said of the Dec. 1 conditions, adding the sail-past likely would have been cancelled. The long-range weather forecast for Dec. 8 is for relatively warm and dry conditions, a low of plus-one Celsius and partly cloudy skies. It also calls for light rain the day before and mixed rain and snow the day after. “That’s good news,” said Skulsky, who has been participating in the annual event for “about 25” years. So far, only 10 ships have signed up for the Christmas sail-past, but Skulsky is hoping the word about the positive weather forecast will add to the fleet. Anyone interested in taking part can call 604-2407978 or 1-604-858-1717. Participating boats will muster near the White Rock pier between 4 and 5 p.m. on the Saturday. At 5 p.m., they’ll all flip the switch. It’s suggested that the end of the pier is the best place to watch from.

City councillor takes issue with use of Agent 21 by Liquor Control and Licensing Branch

‘Huge, husky’ teen entraps liquor clerk Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Owners of the Sandpiper Liquor Store – one of them White Rock’s newest city councillor – have been fined $7,500 by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for selling to a minor. The penalty – due last Friday – was levied against Bill Lawrence and Judy Baker on Oct. 29, following a Sept. 6 hearing in Surrey. Lawrence, who won a seat on city council in the Nov. 3 byelection, told Peace Arch News Thursday that he doesn’t dispute the incident that led to the fine: one of his staff last spring failed to ask an underage customer for identification. What he takes issue with is what he described as the “total entrapment” used to justify the fine. “The liquor branch is basically on a witchhunt,” he said. Lawrence said the “huge… husky” teen in question was working for the branch’s Minors as Agents Program at the time, which was developed to test for compliance with laws that prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors. He “would easily be mistaken for a university

Pritam Benning killed while at bus stop in 2009

Driver guilty in senior’s death Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey man who struck and killed an 83-year-old grandfather who was waiting at a bus stop three years ago has been found guilty. Gurjit Dhillon, 28, was facing a charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. (A street racing charge was dropped in late August due to unreliable witness testimony.) Pritam Benning, 83, was grievously injured in the 2009 rushhour crash at the busy intersection of 128 Street and 72 Avenue. He died five days later without gaining consciousness long enough for family to speak with him. On Friday in Surrey Provincial Court, Judge James Jardine found that Dhillon’s driving was “obviously dangerous” that day and that he drove with “intentional risk” that caused his car to lose control, spin through the intersection and strike the bench where Benning was waiting. Jardine said the entire incident, which ended with “horrific consequences,” happened in a matter of seconds. The judge found that Dhillon, driving his brother’s black Corvette, had been following a yellow Corvette at about 6 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2009. The two cars came to a stop at the intersection and when

Gurjit Dhillon (right) leaves court with family members Friday. the light turned green, Dhillon accelerated abruptly, attempted to change lanes and hit another car before spinning out of control. His car then mounted the curb and launched toward Benning. Friday, Benning’s son, Manjit, was relieved at the guilty verdict, but acknowledged nothing will bring his father back. “My dad is gone, but we wanted consequences in this case. “My dad was blameless. He was sitting at a bus stop,” he added. “Dhillon was driving in a reckless fashion. If anyone should have passed away, it should have been him.” Dhillon did not take the stand in

his own defence during the trial, and did not comment when he exited court following the verdict. During the trial, a 911 recording was played where he was heard telling the operator “I hit a person. I need an ambulance quick. Something happened to my car. It just went out of control.” The defence had argued that the brake system in Dhillon’s car was faulty – a theory Jardine refuted. “This vehicle went out of control before the brakes were applied,” said Jardine in his ruling. The maximum sentence for Dhillon’s crime is 14 years, but the range applied is generally much lower.

Bullying not just child’s play

here’s something very heartening about 100 White Rock Elementary students being sworn in last month as ‘special constables’ pledged to tackle the problem of bullying. The WITS anti-bullying program, which White Rock Const. Janelle Shoihet has taught at the school for the past three years, is of undeniable value. It catches children at a young, and still impressionable, age. It’s possible to nip some incipient behaviours in the bud, and, even more importantly, plants the seeds of a bigger idea – that bullying is unacceptable in our society. If only that were all it would take to eradicate the problem. But such initiatives won’t have nearly as much effect if parents and their peers don’t do their part, too. It’s been pointed out that those who bully are, very often, those who have been bullied themselves at some point. What is often forgotten is that at the heart of bullying behaviour lies not strength, but fear. Bullies tend to be very self-revealing. In picking on others they expose their own fears and insecurities – their all-consuming dread of being seen as an outsider, as being different – and, consequently, being judged ‘a loser.’ It’s a dreadful cycle we see played out endlessly – not just on school playgrounds, but in workplaces and social situations of adulthood. In such contexts whispers, smirks and guffaws at perceived differences are clearly not the domain of children alone. And how many adults, consciously or unconsciously, pass on to their children a ‘dogeat-dog, survival-of-the-fittest’ mentality? How many businesses foster the notion that, to be a success, you must be ‘tougher’ and ‘meaner’ than everyone else? That to be effective you must do it to the other guy before he does it to you? How many parents browbeat their children into an elbows-out, ignore-the-rules attitude, either in the playing of sport or in the conduct of their lives, in the belief that this will ‘toughen them up’ and make them less prone to victimization? How many of us have seen accepted notions of civil behaviour crumble in the face of unwarranted self-entitlement – drivers who tailgate, or block access to parking stalls or gasoline pumps, for example, or people who jump queues and elbow others aside? Maybe it’s the adults who should be taking a few more oaths to tackle bullying – or, at the very least, a good long look in the mirror.

last year’s budget, pushing that deficit to a record $3 billion. This means the current $1.5-billion bleeder is based strictly on current revenues, debt servicing and spending. So how is this sucking chest wound going to suddenly heal next spring? De Jong provided an early version of his answer in his September financial statement. Amazingly, it projects a recovery of more than $100 million in natural gas royalties next year. Hmmm. Liquefied natural gas exports to Asia are still years away, and the U.S., our only current energy-export customer, is developing its own huge shale gas and shale oil reserves. In another forecasted miracle, sales tax revenue is expected to dip by a mere $120 million as the old provincial sales tax returns next year. In 2014 it is projected to bounce right back to where it is today, around $6.1 billion. That’s odd. When former finance minister Kevin Falcon announced the transition back to PST last May, he described annual revenue loss of about $500 million the first year, and more than $600 million the next. Granted, business investment credits and HST rebates to the poor also end, saving the government a pile of cash as this significant tax reform dies. But it still looks like another fudge-it budget, designed to help another premier avoid the political graveyard at the foot of Deficit Hill.

Early violence begets violence Editor: Re: Reality check on teen suicide, Nov. 20 column. Kudos to columnist Tom Fletcher for drawing attention to the recent report by B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, highlighting the troubled journey of 89 children in protective care. While the plans for the casino seem to be getting most of the attention, what’s happening to our children right here in B.C. easily goes unnoticed. Fletcher’s point, that our more vulnerable children are not getting the support and treatment they require to heal, is an issue that affects the future of B.C. in more ways than one. Children who experience violence in their lives easily learn to become violent as adults. Children with attachment disorders grow up without empathy, which can turn to rage. The cycle of abuse and violence will continue without intervention. The Ministry of Child and Family Development addresses our youngest and most vulnerable citizens. It must be fully funded, and they must partner with community groups who help children heal. Children grow up to be adults, and what they learn in childhood about the world and themselves is how they will act in the world as adults. And there are many children right here in B.C. who are abused, neglected and witnesses to violence. Christine Mayworm, White Rock

First Nation talks casino Editor: Re: Semiahmoo ‘prime location’ for casino, Nov. 20. For those of you who attended the Nov. 14 information meeting at the Pink Palace and listened to what the guest First Nations speaker was saying – but didn’t hear the message – please read the referenced article. Only one speaker addressed this issue during the question and answer session, and was either not heard or people did not realize the implication of what she was saying. The implications are immense. The unavoidable truth is that casinos and gambling are just too attractive a revenue stream for people to ignore. The numbers don’t lie, and a casino/ resort complex is going to be built in South Surrey at some point, come hell or high water, by someone. If this particular proposal for the Gateway casino is defeated, it will not mean that the issue is dead. A proposal will move to a new location, possibly one where there is less or no public input and revenues are not shared with the City of Surrey, the revenues are not subjected to the same taxation as it would be on public land and the city and people of B.C. would be paying for the improvements to infrastructures surrounding the development instead of the developer.

What do you think a casino south of 8 Avenue at 160 Street would do to the waterfront, property values, traffic, etc.? It is even closer to homes, schools, beaches, recreation, etc. How much dialogue happened between the First Nation there and the community before the six-foot chain-link fence went up along Marine Drive barring the

community from access to the park there? How much voice do you think you would have in a development there? It may be time to think about choosing between the lesser of evils and considering the options. It may be time to ask for changes and concessions for the Gateway proposals that will benefit the community at large, instead of killing

Reciprocal benefits

Editor: I’ve heard it said many times that to whom much is given, much is expected. Being a typical 15-yearold, and oftentimes admittedly a bit engulfed by my own sense of entitlement, I’ve never fully understood the meaning – until now. I was recently given the wonderful opportunity in accompanying the Semiahmoo Rotary Club to Hermosillo, Mexico for the delivery of 115 wheelchairs to children with disabilities. As cliché as it sounds, the four-day venture opened my eyes to the harsh reality that exists outside the borders of home here in Surrey. I’ve come to recognize our guilty tendency to gain blind spots in our views of life while being blessed to grow up in a developed country. We are stuck behind these impediments until we encounter something that can free us. Not everyone is given the chance to experience such an epiphany, and I’m glad to say that, for me, it was because of this trip. Fundraising to purchase these wheelchairs began two years ago by the Semiahmoo Rotary Club, and it further involved the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, which is also located in South Surrey, and the Panorama YMCA Interact Club. On Mexico’s part, the Centre for the Rehabilitation of Children, the Sonora State Government Health Group, the Foundation for Children with Disabilities and the Hermosillo Rotary Club all worked to ensure each chair would be given to a deserving person,

including five specially-equipped chairs for children with severe spinal conditions. The total dollar figure for the entire project stood over $24,000. Distribution began with the first individual we met to the last woman whom we waved goodbye to, as she sat teary-eyed with the comfort of her new gift underneath her. It’s almost unbelievable to think how many hands we shook – with a warm kiss on the cheek, in respect to their customs – and the number of faces we saw lit up with gratitude. I was very touched by one woman whose emotions came pouring down her cheeks, as I crouched to give her the most sincere hug I could. A good minute or so passed before I let go with a soaked shoulder, trying to fight my own tears. When we lifted off the grounds of Hermosillo to return home, I wistfully gazed down at the city as it grew smaller. Aside from nostalgia flooding through me, I can’t begin to explain the feeling of fulfilment from having left a warm sentiment of Canada in the Mexicans’ hearts. At the same time, the idea of even more people for whom gaining mobility is a distant dream made me want to help bring a smile to their faces, too, with the same way I had been a small part of this big initiative for the past few days. Fortunately, the club’s next set of plans are already drawn, with the goal of delivering another round of chairs in 2014.

it only to face a new development where there is no chance for dialogue with the developers. If Gateway is in possession of 25 acres and is developing only 18, that means seven acres for parks, small shops, play field, small outdoor amphitheatre or something else. If the six-storey car park is too obtrusive, there are other alternatives to building upwards. If the car park is built outwards or partially in ground, and the roof of the structure is left available, many things can be done on the top of structures, such as including shops, green spaces and public areas. Arguments against the social evils of gambling are pointless. It is a legal business, just as tobacco and alcohol are. Access to gambling is as easy as going to a corner store or firing up your computer, so don’t kid yourself that by stopping this casino development you are helping to solve a social problem. Instead, you are better to ask for more help for those affected by gambling, ask for increased awareness programs, demand more of the profits be used for these kinds of initiatives. Asking for gambling to go away is just not realistic. You may as well ask at the same time for the liquor stores and pubs to be shut down and the government to ban smoking altogether and stop taking tax revenues from these products and activities. The article cited is a wake-up call. Let’s be careful not to cut our noses off to spite our faces. It may be worth exploring and discussing and demanding changes to the Gateway development to benefit the people of South Surrey/ White Rock while we have an opportunity to do so. If this proposal is defeated now, we may win this battle only to ultimately lose the war with far greater damaging and debilitating consequences. So think about instead of saying ‘no,’ think about saying ‘OK, but we want…’ and what those wants might be. Scott Keddy, White Rock n The Nov. 20 edition of the Peace Arch News has considerable data regarding the proposed casino to be built at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. You seem to give a great deal of attention to the Semiahmoo Indian Band (Band ‘always open to casino’), or as they like to be called, First Nation. I believe that despite their frequent quotations about their Aboriginal rights, this band is actually an immigrant band being split off the Lummi Indian Tribe of Washington State. To have Aboriginal “rights,” a group of Indians has to have occupied their claimed territory from “time immemorial,” whatever that happens to be. This is not really a unique situation, as there are several Indian bands or First Nations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Saskatchewan bands were Sioux who were being chased by the U.S. Army after Sitting Bull cleaned up on Gen. Custer. David G. Sparks, Surrey

Police seeking suspects in both cases

Two mail-carriers robbed Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Police are on the hunt for men who robbed mail-carriers last week. On Nov. 26, two men produced a can of bear spray and stole a mail truck from a male driver at 55 Avenue and 148 Street. They drove the vehicle about a mile away and dumped it. “Right now, we believe that all the mail was recovered, and so was the vehicle,” said RCMP Corp. Bert Paquet.

The next day, two men drove up to a female mail-carrier near Antrim Road and 140 Street in North Surrey, produced a can of bear spray and stole her mail bag. They took a mail scanner and keys to lock-boxes. The mail was not taken. Police believe their intent is to steal mail from the lock boxes. The suspects left in an older silver compact car. Police say the thefts are a reminder of a usual spike of this type of thefts as the Christmas season approaches.

“Just be aware as we ramp toward the holiday season and more parcels and letters are being sent through the mail, just be mindful to pick up your mail regularly,” Paquet said. “If you are going to be away, ask Canada Post to handle it or ask someone to pick it up for you.” He also notes cash in the mail is never a good idea. Anyone with information can call the RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

South Surrey’s Erin Little mounts challenge in support of SPCA

Charity challenge peaks hiker’s interest Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

t was six years ago when South Surrey resident Erin Little first considered trekking to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The idea was planted in her head by a friend who suggested a group go together to take on the dormant volcanic mountain that rises to 19,341 feet above sea level – making it the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Unfortunately, she was unable to make the trip due to a scheduling conflict. But from then on, Little was determined to one day make the trip and complete the climb. Her one condition: tying in her accomplishment with a charity she could support. “It always nagged at me there wasn’t a charity angle. If I was going to do it, it had to be for something important,” Little said. “I kept searching, but I couldn’t find anything in Canada.” That all changed last year, when Little, continuing on her Internet search, came upon a website bearing a Canadian flag. “I found Charity Challenge Canada and they had just expanded to Canada that year. I saw all the challenges they had and that you could sponsor a charity while doing it,” she said. “The only problem was they didn’t have the SPCA listed as a charity, which is who I wanted to support.” After sending them an email inquiring about her options, Little received a response saying Charity Challenge had already spoken with the SPCA and everything was all set for her challenge. “I was like, whoa-whoa-whoa, I’m just inquiring. But then I realized, why not? Now’s the time to do it.” The self-proclaimed animal lover said the final push for her to take on the challenge was the unique opportunity to support

the BC SPCA – a goal she had set for herself for some time. “I prefer animals to humans. It breaks my heart to hear about them suffering, so I wanted to do something about it,” she explained. “I’ve always had so much respect for the people who work there and they are so community focused, but I just didn’t have the heart to go in there and volunteer myself. “When I saw this opportunity, I said enough. It’s not about how you feel. It’s about the animals. Get over yourself and just do something.” The avid hiker began her quest

in May to raise $10,000 for the SPCA – nearly double the amount set out by Charity Challenge. Little hosted a garage sale,

received donations at work as an event co-ordinator at Morgan Creek Golf Course and even sold homemade raspberry jam.

“I was canning and selling jam that had a label that said ‘Jammin’ my way to Kilimanjaro,”’ she laughed. In early November, Little received $2,500 for hosting a pub night at Ocean Park Village Pub, helping her finally reach her goal. “The amount of support I received was amazing,” she said. “I was initially against a pub night, as I’m not a pub person myself, but the members of my book club said I had to do it. “We raised that amount in two hours.” With her goal set, Little is now focusing on her upcoming trip. While this will be her first time traveling to Africa, it isn’t the first time she’s gone great distances for the thrill of a hike. A few years back, Little and friends travelled to Peru to walk along the ancient Inca trail in Machu Picchu. “It was euphoric. Hiking for me is euphoric. I can’t think of a better way to get in touch with yourself spiritually,” she said. One stark contrast between Machu Picchu and her upcoming trip is that Little will be doing it by herself. “It’s scary to travel to Africa all alone, but I have no excuse. It’s selfish not to give back,” she said. “This is very important to me.” Little is slated to fly out of Vancouver on Jan. 12, briefly stopping to meet a friend in the U.K., then set to land in Africa on Jan. 16. Shortly after, she will begin her ascent of the mountain, the peak of which will take six to seven days to reach. And while she has reached her financial goal, Little still encourages others to donate, either to her challenge, or directly to the BC SPCA. “Animals always need help. Let’s do everything we can.” To donate to Little’s challenge, visit http://support.spca.bc.ca/ site/TR/Events/Championsf orAnimals?pxfid=8810&fr_ id=1040&pg=fund

Elgin Park set to host annual Christmas dinner Students and staff at Elgin Park Secondary are gearing up to host their eighth Community Christmas Dinner. Set for Dec. 12 at the school, co-ordinator Michele Palmer said the event is an effort to reach out to those who might not otherwise have Christmas dinner, from seniors who have no family in town to families on low income. Everyone is welcome to partake in the festivities, which are to include a full turkey dinner prepared and served by Grade 8-12 home-ec students and

student entertainment. However, space at the school –13484 24 Ave. – is limited to 150, said Palmer. Anyone planning to attend is encouraged to RSVP 604-538-6678 – with their names, contact information and the number of guests who are attending – as soon as possible. The deadline to sign up is Dec. 7. Palmer said doors will open at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:45 p.m. Guests must arrange for their own transportation, she added. For Palmer, the

White Rock centenarian celebrates with four generations of family

The ‘natural’ secret to life Staff Reporter

You know your birthday is a big deal when a gathering to talk about the impending date includes four generations of your family. Such was the case in Alice Lentz’s room at the Ocean View Care Home in White Rock last month. But Lentz wasn’t fazed by all the talk about her turning 100. “It just comes in one ear and out the other,” she said, evoking laughter from the daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren perched around the room on various pieces of furniture. “I’m very happy when I get to visit my family.” The senior was born on Nov. 24, 1912 in Curlew, Alta. She remembers making the trek to B.C. by horse and wagon – “it was a lot of fun,” she said – and it’s similar stories that bring a sparkle to at least one great-grandchild’s eyes. Lauren Benson, 11, lit up when she recalled tales of her greatgrandmother being pulled through the snow on a horse-drawn sled. “When she was a girl, in the winter there was a sled and they were pulled by horses, which I thought was really neat,” Benson said. The centenarian also has an appetite to be reckoned with, Benson giggled, thinking of one time at a restaurant when she and Lentz both ordered a rather sizable pancake. “I wasn’t able to finish

my whole pancake, but grandma was,” she said. One of seven children, Lentz spent many of her younger years in the Okanagaan. Hunting and fishing were a regular part of her routine, as was canning homegrown goods and making jam. She only stopped the latter about four years ago. “She lived a very,

very healthy lifestyle,” granddaughter Laura Bobyk said. “You didn’t grind your own flour, but practically.” Lentz recalled it took Bobyk a little while to warm up to her, during a visit at nine months of age. But the bond has been strong ever since, they agreed. Lentz has called White Rock home for

about four decades, and said the secret to a long life is to “just do what comes naturally.” A strong faith has also served her well, she said. “I’ve had a wonderful life with my family and I thank the Lord for it,” she said. Lentz celebrated her 100th with family on Nov. 24 in Langley.

May Sullivan dies at age 98

Surrey pioneer remembered by friends and family Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A Surrey pioneer and much-loved teacher has died. May Isabell Sullivan, wife of Jim Sullivan, died peacefully and surrounded by family at Zion Park Manor in Cloverdale on Nov. 22. She was 98 years old.

Sullivan spent most of her life in Surrey, but served overseas as an ambulance driver with her sister Margie during the Second World War. She taught for almost 30 years at Cloverdale Catholic School, and prior to that in the public school system. “May,” “Mum,” “Granny,”

RCMP members bring WITS program to White Rock Elementary

Students take pledge to tackle bullying Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

ullies beware: there’s a new brand of law enforcement in town – and they’ve got their WITS about them. More than 100 White Rock Elementary students were sworn in as special constables in the fight against bullying last month, following a presentation aimed at giving kids the tools to deal with and put a stop to the problem. Standing at attention before Const. Janelle Shoihet – feet together, shoulders back, chest out and chin up – the kindergarten to Grade 3 children repeated the pledge in unison: “I promise to use my WITS, to walk away, ignore, talk it out and seek help when I’m dealing with teasing and bullying. I promise to also help other kids use their WITS to keep my school and my community a safe and fun place to be and learn.” The WITS program grew from an effort that began in 1993 at an Esquimalt elementary school, where students were taught the four conflict-resolution strategies now represented by the acronym. It quickly caught on, and the program evolved to include approaches that can be taught to older students. Shoihet has been teaching it at White Rock Elementary for three years, and said it “absolutely” makes a difference when the message is getting delivered to kids at a young age. On return visits, she challenges stu-

dents to tell her when they’ve used their WITS. Sometimes they’ll share an experience where they wish they had used them, she said. The primary program includes the reading of a story about a walrus who helps a little boy deal with teasing at school. It ends with students being taught a “secret handshake” and presented special-constable badges. The latter quickly found their way onto the shirts of the White Rock Elementary students, who eagerly patted the stickers firmly into place and gleefully practised their new handshake. Shoihet emphasized to the students that the distinction is a big deal. “Not every school has WITS,” she said. The comment prompted a suggestion from one student for the officer to “go to every school and tell everybody.” The enthusiasm only strengthened her belief that the program’s message is getting through.

Support grows for pyjama drive what’s Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

It all started two years ago, when six-yearold Rosemary Heights Elementary student Reese Shelly found out that there are children in the world who don’t have a pair of clean, comfortable pyjamas to sleep in. “I asked my mom if people could donate them if they have them. And we went on the Internet to see if there were any PJ drop-offs but there wasn’t any, so we decided to have our own,” said Reese, 8. Spurred into action after his discovery, with the help of mom Erin and dad Tyler, Reese created the Christmas Pyjama Drive in order to collect pyjamas for the Surrey Christmas Bureau. In its initial year, the drive collected 362 pyjamas. “It feels really, really great that there are other people who are inspired, too,” Reese

Rosemary Heights pyjama ambassadors Chase Marshall and Reese Shelly.

said. Last year, the goal was raised to 500, and once again, it was surpassed, with more than 1,400 pyjamas donated. This year, the Shellys – with help from the

“pyjama ambassadors,” Reese’s classmates – hope to bring in 2,000 pyjamas. “I really hope we’ll get our goal,” he said. “There is a bag at our school where people can drop off donations. Our second day we had 20 pyjamas.” While there are many Peninsula drop-off locations – including Rosemary and Sunnyside elementaries, Kids Books in South Surrey and Browns Socialhouse in Panorama Heights – Erin noted that other Browns restaurants have become involved, including in Dawson Creek, Victoria and two south of the border. Lower Mainland Browns Socialhouses will hold a Pyjama Day Dec. 9, offering 50 per cent off the food bill to those who drop off pyjamas. For drop-off locations, visit www.facebook.com/The.Christmas.

You won’t let yourself be taken advantage of this week. Making significant changes either at work or in some of your other commitments will enable you to improve your efficiency.

You are suffering from some accumulated fatigue. It is important to slow down, recharge your batteries, and discover some new objectives in your life. This is particularly true if you feel that you have been neglecting your loved ones lately.

TAURUS

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

You should be able to get most of your work done from home. If you have young children, one of them is going to want their favourite nurse to stay at home to look after them.

Sometimes it’s good to take a step back. Doing so gives you a more holistic perspective and it will, ultimately, give you more momentum.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Lots of comings and goings are on the horizon. Be sure to plan extra time to get to your destination, whether the journey is for work or for personal reasons.

Lady Luck smiles on you this week, so don’t forget to check your lottery tickets. She’ll also be with you in your professional and love lives. Some good people will cross your path.

LEO

AQUARIUS

You love luxury and will pull out all the stops in order to make a big impression over the holidays. You might be tempted to replace furniture and appliances on an impulse.

Change brings some intense emotion. At the same time you will benefit from a new life experience that will be extremely profitable for you. You will be able to get closer to a member of the family.

PISCES

You show a lot of initiative in one particular project. You’ll take charge in order to ensure that people really understand the direction you wish to take.

If you purchased either one of the Christmas Tea Light Holders pictured here DO NOT USE. When used with a lighted candle the ceramic pieces may produce black smoke. Please return to any Potters store for a complete refund.

You have to finalize an understanding at work that will have a very positive impact on your long term career. You create a harmonious atmosphere around you, and people trust you implicitly.

Speed watch A speed-reader board that is hoped to help police tackle problem areas while educating the community about speed limits has started making the rounds in White Rock. Const. Janelle Shoihet said the mobile board will be placed in key areas for two weeks at a time, starting with the 15700-block of Thrift Avenue, the 15700block of Buena Vista Avenue and the 14700block of North Bluff Road. As the unit takes up a minimum of one parking space and set-up requires the use of a second, community policing volunteers are liaising with residents to ensure the placement is appropriate and will cause the least disruption, Shoihet said. Residents with suggestions for future locations to place the board may call 778593-3610.

Once Upon A Chuckle

Phantom of the Panto

Earl Marriott Secondary’s drama department presents Once Upon A Chuckle, a unique blend of ‘fairy tale’-related short comedies directed by senior students, Dec. 6-7 at 7 p.m. at the school’s Wheelhouse Theatre, 15751 16 Ave. Story Time, written and directed by Brenna Goodwin and Ruth FrancisLyster, features Sophia Ludwig and Hailey Moran as Sarah and Kira Williams, who find themselves face to face with such diverse fairy tale/fantasy fiction characters as a warrior, a unicorn, a fairy, a goblin, a wizard, an ogre and a princess. After Death and Before the After Life, by Celeste Taylor, Elina Taillon and Karter Hall, directed by Taylor and Meadow Spurr, turns on the interaction of two mythical beings, Mira (Rachel Fournier) and Xeno (Travis Clifford). The One Hundred Acre Wood, by Karter Hall, Neil MacAllistair and Jacob Taminga, directed by Hall and MacAllistair, takes satirical aim at the often-told Snow White story. Tickets ($6) are available at the box office, or by calling 604-531-8354, ext. 171.

Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s latest pantomime, The Phantom of the Panto, runs until Dec. 9 at Surrey Arts Centre, with 7:30 p.m. performances. 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 and this year’s show has seven families represented by two or more members. Tom Cleevely (The Phantom), for example, is 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. For ticket information, call 604-501-5566 or visit http://tickets.surrey.ca/

Pinocchio White Rock Players Club’s 2012 pantomime, Pinocchio, runs until Dec. 29 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Panto veteran Dave Baron’s script is a new adaptation of the classic tale by Carlo Collodi, incorporating some original and intriguing elements that have been filtered out in successively de-natured versions. Pinocchio (Michelle Gaetz) – a puppet brought to life who wants to become a real boy – must battle the evil Puppet Master

The Honeywells

The Honeywell clan continues to be synonymous with music on the Semiahmoo Peninsula – and even further afield. Roger Honeywell (formerly of the Canadian Opera and the Chicago Lyric Opera) stars as Frederic in The Vancouver Opera Association’s production of The Pirates of Penzance, until Dec. 9 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (604-683-0222, www.vancouveropera.ca). Meanwhile, in White Rock, as cornetist/ pianist Rice Honeywell Sr. heads south to spend the winter in Arizona, his regular keyboard gig Wednesday nights at Five Corners Bistro will be covered by Bob Storms. Reservations are recommended (604-5385455).

Victories over division rivals gives team nine wins in last 11

Eagles extend win streak to four games against the Coquitlam Express – to run their winning streak to four games; they won nine of 11 games in November. However, Surrey has not made up much ground in the race for first place in the BCHL’s Mainland Division as the team the Eagles are chasing – the Chilliwack Chiefs

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Chalk up four more points for the streaking Surrey Eagles. The BC Hockey League team won twice more last week – 7-3 Tuesday over the Langley Rivermen and 4-2 Friday at home

– have been just as hot. The Chiefs also won twice on the weekend, and like Surrey, won nine of 11 games last month. They sit four points up on the Eagles for top spot in the division. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles relied heavily on goaltender

Michael Santaguida, who stopped 43 of 45 Coquitlam shots to secure his 12th win of the season. The 19-year-old Ontario native was especially strong in the third period, when the Express peppered him with 18 shots, all of which he stopped. › see page 26

Both of Earl Marriott Secondary’s senior volleyball teams finished in the top five province-wide on the weekend, led by the girls’ bronze-medal finish. The Mariners’ girls team placed third at B.C. AAAA Championships at Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Secondary, defeating Charles Best Secondary in the bronze game (25-17, 23-25, 15-11). The Mariners were ousted from gold-medal contention after a tough loss to South Delta, which went on to win the championship over Heritage Woods. Earlier in the tournament, Earl Marriott notched playoff-round wins over North Peace and the Riverside Rapids. In pool play, the Mariners finished first, defeating Charles Best, South Kamloops and Mount Baker. Elgin Park was also in the tournament, finishing third in pool play before losing in the first playoff round to Richmond’s McMath Secondary, 3-1 (25-21, 27-25, 27-29, 27-25). Once sent to the consolation draw, the Elgin Orcas won four straight games to finish in ninth place, defeating North Vancouver’s Argyle Pipers in the final game. In the boys’ AAA provincials, held over the weekend in Kelowna, Earl Marriott’s senior boys – who were among three or four teams expected to vie for gold – were upset in quarter-final action by Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers, and finished fifth overall. “We just came out flat.

Portland Winterhawks coach will sit out rest of season

White Rock’s Johnston suspended by WHL The Western Hockey League has come down hard on part-time White Rock resident Mike Johnston and his Portland Winterhawks after a string of league infractions. Last Wednesday, the WHL fined the club $200,000, took away nine bantam draft picks – including first rounders from 2013 until 2017 – and suspended Johnston, the team’s coach/general manager, for the remainder of the season. According to a news release from the Winterhawks, the infractions for which the team was punished included: paying for flights for players’ family members to attend games; paying for certain players’ off-season training programs; and providing a cellphone for the team’s captain for a period of three seasons. The Winterhawks never fully disclosed any of those financial commitments to the league, according to

WHL commissioner Ron Robison. A day after the initial release, the WHL issued another one, stating that the team had made 54 violations involving 14 players over a five-year span. Johnston, who lived on the Peninsula full-time while serving as an associate coach with the Vancouver Canucks, has been with the Winterhawks organization since the 2008/09 season. After leaving the Canucks, he was an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Kings before taking the job in Portland. He has also been involved in the Hockey Canada skills academy currently running in South Surrey high schools. On Wednesday, he expressed surprise at the league’s actions. “After fully co-operating with the league’s investigation, we were extremely surprised at the exces-

sive nature of the sanctions, and we don’t feel they are in line with the scope of the violations we were found to have committed,” he said in the release. “We believe that apart from recruiting trips and parents’ weekend, there is no prohibition in the rules governing flights for players’ parents, which were the majority of the infractions. We are currently exploring our options on how we will proceed. “Despite our objections, the league has made its decision and our players will continue to pursue the goal of winning a WHL championship.” After the league’s second statement detailed the more than 50 infractions, the Winterhawks later issued a response, “encouraging more transparency in this process.” - Nick Greenizan

Dr. R. Walter Dunn 1915 - 2012 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad, grandpa and greatgrandpa, Rudolph Walter Dunn. Walter died peacefully at the age of 97. He was born in Germany and educated in Great Britain (Cambridge and London) acquiring his Specialist qualifications in Obstetrics and Gynecology. After a short period of military service, he emigrated to Canada in 1948 and soon established a Specialist practice in New Westminster, which he continued until 1979 (30 years), when he retired to White Rock. Walter married Joyce Williams soon after his arrival to Canada. She predeceased him in 1993, and his sorrow continued until the end of his life. He was also predeceased by his eldest son Robert (2002), and by his brother Henry (2008). He is survived and mourned by his three remaining children, Terry (Rita), Jane Richardson (Terry) and Susan Cressey (Scott); eleven grandchildren: Shaun (Tegan), Amy (Garth), Kevin (Dayna), Caitlin (Marcus), Jennifer, Katie, Mikhail, Samantha, Jackson, Hayley and Natalie. He is also missed by his three great-granddaughters: Meara, Kyla and Shayna. A memorial gathering will be held on Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm at Fraser Heights Chapel 14835 Fraser Highway, Surrey, B.C. for relatives and friends.

EASTMAN, Ruth Yvonne It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ruth Yvonne Eastman, 90, of White Rock, BC. She died peacefully in her sleep on November 28, 2012 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. Born November 10, 1922 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Ruth is predeceased by her parents George and Jorun Steinbach, her late husband David, brothers George and Glen, sister Eugene and son Mark. Left to cherish her memories are daughter Jo-Ellen of White Rock, BC, son John (Evelyn) of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, 7 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren all of Alberta as well as numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends. Ruth was a kind and loving soul who loved to laugh, entertain and enjoy the adventures that life had to offer. She adored her children and grandchildren and looked forward to their visits for a day of crab fishing on the Pier followed by a well deserved meal of fish and chips off the beach. Fishing was one of many pastimes that she enjoyed so much. Ruth will always be remembered for her classy and colourful taste in fashion, her love of Jazz music and her passion to travel the world ‘convertible style’. Her laughter and infectious, glowing smile always filled the room with joy. She always told us how lucky she was to have such wonderful kids, but we had to remind her that it was us that was so lucky to have her. And we were. Until we meet again GG..maybe one day on the Pier. XOXO love from all of us. A celebration of life for Ruth will be held Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 2pm at Peace Arch Manor, 15468 Roper Rd. in White Rock, BC.

He is survived by his children Dennis (Kathleen), Lesley (George) and Kathryn (Graham), and his 9 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. Frank was born at Glen Cottage in Carrowreagh, Burt, County Donegal, Northern Ireland on May 3, 1918 four months before his father died serving with the Royal Marines on the Western Front during WWI. Frank earned a BA at Trinity College in Dublin (1940) and an MA from UVic (1972). In January 1945 Frank was granted an emergency commission by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland as chaplain to the British forces. He went to Norway with the 32nd British General Hospital to care for Russians who had been prisoners during WWI. In March 1946 he was attached to the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment and obtained his parachute wings while serving in Palestine. In 1947 he was granted a pastoral charge in County Monaghan, Ireland. He and Elizabeth married in 1950. In 1953 they came to Canada with their infant son, where Frank was assistant minister at the First United Church in Victoria, and later United Church minister in Courtenay. He joined the RCAF as chaplain in 1960 and served at Cold Lake, at Moose Jaw, at Metz, France, at Zweibrucken, Germany and at Esquimalt, BC. Upon retirement from the armed forces he joined the Correctional Services of Canada and worked in Victoria and Kamloops. After that, he and Elizabeth went to Antigua to volunteer for CESO where Elizabeth passed away. He then moved to South Surrey where he enjoyed living close to his family. The family wishes to thank the staff at Westminster House for their compassionate care. No service at Frank’s request. Condolences may be made at www.myalternatives.ca
