Food plight
Beach cameras advised against
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
To the untrained eye, the shelves at Sources’ White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank look rather full. Canned goods are stacked rowon-row, and boxes with cereal, pastas and sundry other goods line the topmost shelves, some of them piled four and five high. But despite appearances, those who know what’s needed to meet the ever-growing need in South Surrey and White Rock say the cache is far below where it has been in previous years at this time, and not nearly enough to get them through the months ahead. “We’re worried,” said Denise Darrell, director of women, seniors and community services. “We know what we need for the next eight months, and this ain’t it.” The Sources food bank, located at 5-15515 24 Ave., distributes food to hundreds of clients every week, aiming to provide two days’ worth of sustenance to each person who needs it. One third of those clients are children aged 18 and younger; more and more are seniors. Typically, cash and food donations at this time of year are enough to keep the shelves stocked until summer – 60 per cent of what they go through in a year. › see page A4

White Rock hasn’t proven its case for surveillance cameras on the city’s waterfront. But such a system may be exactly what’s needed to curb illegal dumping at the city’s operations yard. The findings were outlined in a report to council that was to be presented Monday evening, after Peace Arch News’ deadline. “At this time, it would be difficult to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Information and Privacy Commissioner that we have exhausted conventional means of achieving law-enforcement objectives on the pier, along the promenade, and area of the railway line,” writes Dan Bottrill, the city’s chief administrative officer. “Staff has been in discussion with the RCMP to monitor law enforcement issues in this area with a view to determine whether or not circumstances are changing that would ultimately satisfy the criteria to utilize surveillance. Until…this criteria has been satisfied, it is recommended that the city not proceed.” › see page A4

Natasha Warren outside court.
Kassandra Kaulius aspired to become a teacher, was great at sports and was a “champion” thinker, speaker and listener. “She represented the best in what we’d like to see in our young people,” her aunt Sherri Todd told a full courtroom on Monday, crying as she described the horrendous impact the loss of the 22-year-old has had on her family.
...from our house to yours!
“At times, the grief feels like it’s exploding in me,” said Todd. “We will never be the same people again.” Kaulius’ family and friends were in Surrey Provincial Court for the beginning of a two-day sentencing hearing for Natasha Warren, the driver who hit and killed Kassandra on May 3, 2011. In July, Natasha Warren, 35, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and failure to stop at a crash.
Monday morning, victim-impact statements were also delivered by Kassandra’s boyfriend, Cody Schlamb, and his parents. (Kassandra’s mother, father, sister and brother were expected to read victim-impact statements Monday afternoon, after Peace Arch News’ press deadline.) Schlamb – in his statement read aloud by prosecutor Crichton Pike – said there will always be a cloud hanging over his family. › see page A2

No siren in fatal crash Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver was speeding without use of lights or siren at the time of the crash that killed him, an investigation has revealed. The 28-year-old was on duty Nov. 13, when his unmarked cruiser collided with a semitrailer at 64 Avenue and 148 Street in Newton. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said in a news release Friday that Oliver was speeding without his lights or siren as he was looking for a stolen vehicle.
“The preliminary investigation indicates, by way of GPS and video evidence, that Cst. Oliver was attempting to locate a recently stolen pickup truck,” Fordy said. “During the course of those efforts, in the moments prior to the collision, he was operating his police vehicle in excess of the posted speed limit, without his emergency equipment activated.” Oliver had been with the Surrey RCMP for more than three years. The investigation into the crash continues with the oversight of the Vancouver Police Department.
Van measured at 103 km/h › from page A1 Schlamb said Warren had “single-handedly” fractured his relationship to his family. Directing his words to Warren, he said, “I made it my purpose in life that you did not kill two people that night.” His parents also expressed extreme and ongoing grief. Alison Schlamb said it’s been unbearable to watch her son go through such anguish and not be able to help him. Howard Schlamb said Kassandra rarely leaves his thoughts, and reminders haunt him whenever he hears a song or goes to a hockey game or sees a tall blonde girl. “This tragedy is so unnatural to be dealing with…,” Howard Schlamb said, through tears. The court heard that Warren and her boyfriend bought wine and beer that evening and headed home to watch Game 3 of the Western Conference NHL semi-finals. They had dinner and, while her boyfriend drank several beer, Warren drank an estimated bottle-and-a-half of wine. Warren then got in her company van after 9 p.m. It’s unclear where she was going, the court was told. In the meantime, Kassandra, who had been coaching and playing softball in Cloverdale, headed home at about 10 p.m. She was waiting to turn onto 152 Street from 64 Avenue when Warren’s van slammed into the drivers’ side of her red BMW, killing her instantly. Pike told the court a power control module in Warren’s van indicated she was going 103 km/h when she struck Kassandra’s car.

Witnesses had said Warren’s light had been red for about 10 seconds, according to Pike, and that her van may have been slightly airborne as it crossed the train tracks just south of 64 Avenue prior to the crash. Many of Kassandra’s family members and friends briefly left the courtroom while the Crown described Kassandra’s list of “catastrophic injuries,” which included skull fractures and multiple lacerations and internal trauma. Kassandra’s mother remained in the courtroom, sobbing and wiping tears from her face as she heard the gruesome details. Pike then described witness accounts of Warren looking into Kassadra’s car briefly before hopping a fence and fleeing into a vacant treed lot nearby. For the first time, the Kaulius family heard that Warren’s boyfriend sent her a text message moments earlier telling her to get out of the car and take off, and that they could report the van stolen. A witness tracked Warren, who was lying in grass down an embankment, court was told. The witness described Warren as “totally wrecked… drunk as a skunk,” Pike said. Arresting officers said Warren’s eyes were glazed, she was slurring, smelled of booze and was staggering, the court was told. A breathalyzer measured her blood alcohol level at 160 mg – twice the Criminal Code limit. Sentencing arguments were expected to conclude Tuesday. It was uncertain at press time when the judge would deliver his sentence.

‘Clear majority’ in 147-135 House vote, Hiebert says
Private member’s bill to head to Senate Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Conservative backbencher Russ Hiebert’s controversial private member’s bill to have Canadian labour unions file financial statements annually with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has cleared a major hurdle. Bill C-377 has moved to the Senate after passing third reading in the House of Commons on Dec. 12, by a vote of 147 to 135. Hiebert, MP for South Surrey-White RockCloverdale, said Friday that he does not consider the vote a narrow margin. “There are always members who have to be away from the chambers for one reason or another,” he told Peace Arch News. “It’s a clear majority – there’s no doubt about that. I’d say it would be a good indication of the level of support there is for the bill.”
Nor is Hiebert concerned that five of his fellow Conservative MPs voted against the bill, which would force unions to disclose publicly how they spend members’ dues. “It’s not uncommon,” he said. “This is a private member’s bill, not government legislation. I respect the choice my colleagues made.” One who voted against C-377 is Edmonton-St. Albert MP Brent Rathgeber, a former labour lawyer, who blogged concerns about the bill in October. The Tory MP has disputed the lynch pin of Hiebert’s bill, that the tax deductibility of union dues makes the money collected – and what is done with it – a matter of public interest. “Tax-deducted dollars are not public dollars,” he wrote in his blog. “They are private dollars that the state has not chosen to tax.” Hiebert said he is well aware of Rathgeber’s
position, and he disagrees with it. has very clear deadlines that must “We’ve talked about it several be adhered to, the Senate does not. times, and we’ve been in the finance “There is a possibility it could be committee hearings (on the bill) delayed, but the sense I get from the together,” he said. “Chalk it up for a senators I have spoken to is that they difference of opinion – which is not support this,” he added, noting the uncommon between lawyers.” bill is being sponsored there by Sen.

Waterfront debris
Whipping up a storm
Alex Browne photo
City contractor Jane Dixon removes debris from the White Rock promenade Monday morning, as the walkway was closed for three hours.
White Rock’s East Beach promenade was closed for three hours Monday morning, after high winds whipped mud and other debris onto the popular walkway. “There’s logs and mulchy-type stuff. It’s slippery,” said Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations. St. Louis said city officials were warned Friday of possible trouble ahead, through an alert issued by Emergency Management BC in conjunction with Environment Canada’s weather office. High winds were forecast at a time when tides were to also be at their highest. Yellow caution tape blocked access to the walkway east of the pier Monday, in an effort to deter walkers from risking the slippery route. Contractor Don Comber told Peace Arch News that the debris and damage was the worst he’s seen in 17 years. “It’s never been this bad, ever,” he said. “The high tide was at 9:09 (a.m.). It wasn’t too bad at that time, but then it got a lot worse.” St. Louis said workers were able to reopen the promenade by noon. Forecasts call for more rain. - Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne
Residents’ concerns heeded, says project engineer
Amended design for 16 Avenue interchange Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Concerns of residents of Cherry Brook mobile home park in South Surrey – who feared access to their homes would be limited by a planned Highway 99-16 Avenue interchange – have been heard. Updated plans for the interchange, which include a four-lanes-with-median expansion of 16 Avenue in the eastward approach to the bridge, now also feature a left-turn lane into the park at 162 Street, according to Richard Ahrend, senior design engineer for project consultants R.F. Binnie and Associates. “The plans now include left-turn lanes
on either side of the bridge,” Ahrend said, adding the design updates have received approval by the City of Surrey, which is partnering with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure in the new interchange. Cherry Brook residents had expressed reservations about the plans at a Nov. 1 open house on the project conducted by Binnie at Earl Marriott Secondary, noting the limited access posed potential fire and safety problems, as well as the possibility of increased traffic by residents through the adjacent Breakaway Bays mobile home park. Ahrend said public consultation was intended to identify such local issues and
see whether solutions could be incorporated in the design. Construction of the $24-million project is expected to last four to six months, starting early next year, with the new interchange projected to be in operation by the fall. Work is to include the demolition of the existing 16 Avenue bridge, the building of a new four-lane bridge with traffic signals at each end, and on and off ramps connecting the new bridge to Highway 99 in all four quadrants. Short-term disruption of local traffic will be a fact of life until the work is complete, the ministry acknowledges.
During construction, traffic across Highway 99 will be detoured south to 8 Avenue, via King George Boulevard and 168 Street. Intermittent night-time closures of one set of lanes on Highway 99 will also take place, although traffic on the highway is expected to be unaffected during daytime hours. According to the ministry, benefits of the plan include better access to Highway 99, improved connectivity between South Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford and better accommodation of increasing cross-border traffic. The ministry also sees the plan resulting in a partial easing of truck travel on municipal roads, particularly 32 Avenue.

Donor fatigue blamed for shortfall › from page A1 But as of Nov. 30 (the latest accounting figures available), cash donations were down by nearly half, Darrell said, and food stocks are dwindling. Food donations over the Christmas season historically are such that walking through the facility is like an obstacle course. These days, the aisles are clear. “Usually, we’ve got so much food, we can’t walk,” said Jaye Murray, the food bank’s operations manager. The Peninsula food bank is not the only one struggling. Last week, for the first time in more than 20 years, organizers of the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program put out an appeal for help (which was called off on Friday); and Surrey Food Bank is hoping to raise $400,000 this
CCTVs › from page A1 The report was in response to a motion made last June by Coun. Al Campbell calling for the equipment. Citing the city’s corporate priority of protecting public safety, he said such a system would be valuable both in deterring crime and gathering “possible video feed of what’s happening in that area.” “I really believe that here, our pier and promenade… a lot of things are going on down there we’re really not aware of,” he told Peace Arch News at the time. “(Something) will happen one day, and we’ve got to be prepared for something like that.” The motion to look into the cost, necessity and legality of installing the cameras was supported by all but one councillor. Helen Fathers – who last summer described the exercise as “a total waste of time” – told PAN she is not surprised by Bottrill’s finding. “I knew that the crime stats weren’t there to support it,” she said. “It’s good to see it in black and white.” In recommending the city not proceed with the waterfront suggestion, Bottrill notes privacy-office guidelines for public-area surveillance make it clear such steps should only be used as a last resort. At the works yard, Fathers said, closed-circuit cameras would be “a Band-Aid solution.” If it’s determined cameras are warranted there, the system would cost $10,000 to $20,000 to install, and is expected to help catch and fine illegal dumpers.
Christmas season – one-third of the amount that was needed to keep the shelves stocked last year. “Hunger knows no season,” said SFB executive director Marilyn Herrmann. “People are not just hungry at Christmas.” Murray and Darrell believe donor fatigue is partly behind the lull they’re seeing. Other factors include a continued perception that the South Surrey/White Rock community is an affluent one and that many people still don’t know there is a food bank in the area. One other challenge is the belief that donations to the Surrey Food Bank benefit people on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Food bank boundaries, however, mean those donations don’t reach south of 40 Avenue. Darrell is hopeful things will pick up in the days and weeks
ahead, and that recent initiatives to raise awareness of the local food bank will make a difference. One such effort is a program called Streetsmart, in which restaurant diners are invited to donate to the food bank when they pay their tab. A small card on the tables notes ‘Most people think about what they want to eat, not whether they will eat’, and encourages diners to ‘Give a dollar. Give a damn.’ So far, South Surrey’s U-Lounge is the only Semiahmoo Peninsula establishment to sign on to Streetsmart, but Darrell is hopeful interest will catch on and a goal of five restaurants can be met in short order. The response by U-Lounge customers so far has been positive, she said. “They have raised almost $700 in the last two weeks,” she said.

Hospice society scrambles to recover from damage
“Leav -
Help needed after flooding Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
A flood earlier this month has not only thrown the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society into disarray but also reinforced the organization’s need for a new facility, its executive director says. On Monday, Dec. 3, the supportive-care centre – a split-level home just south of Peace Arch Hospital – from which the hospice society operates suffered a weekend flood due to a “sump problem.” The basement was flooded with between three and six inches of water. “The supportive care centre we have is very old, and it’s not adequate for the services we are providing and for the number of people we provide services to,” said executive director Catherine Ferguson. “We need a new centre, and this has really just driven that home even more.” It’s the building’s second flood in as many years, she added. A number of desks and other furniture were damaged by the flood, Ferguson said, as well many files and other materials. “We’re going to be OK with the really important files, because we were diligent enough to store them higher up,” she added. Everything salvaged from the basement is currently in storage. The desks will likely have to be replaced, however, and the car-

The hospice’s basement was flooded with water early this month. pets and portions of the walls have already been removed. The basement also housed the society’s counselling office, where many support groups met each week. In addition, employees of the centre have also been displaced, either doubling and tripling up in offices elsewhere in the building, or working off-site when possible. Ferguson, past mayor of the City of White Rock, said the Crescent Gardens Retirement Community in South Surrey has been providing the society with space for programming, and the chamber of commerce has offered up its board room for staff meetings. “The generosity has been wonderful, and we’re making the best of it, but it’s still been very difficult – certainly a challenge,” she said. “Right now in particular is a really tough time of year for a lot of people who are going through
grief and loss, and we want to make sure we are able to provide them with that support during such a difficult time.” Ferguson was unsure how long restoration would take, saying only that “it’s going to be a work in progress for awhile.” Flood damage is not the building’s only problem, either. Ferguson said the home is also in need of a new roof and other repairs. And the building’s growing list of needs makes it difficult for the society’s board, she said, as they work toward a new, larger, facility. “Putting a lot of money into it, knowing that it doesn’t meet our needs, doesn’t make a lot of sense,” she said. “The hospice board is committed to (a new facility). We just have to make some changes and raise some money, and we could certainly use some help.”

Holiday hustle can take its toll
D
oes the voracious spirit of the holiday get you down? Have you fallen prey to the overkill yet? Are you buried in decorations, frantically treading water stocking your holiday pantry, and breathless from chasing the perfect present? Do yourself a favour and take a deep breath. The proper approach to the Christmas season is not an exhausting marathon of preparation followed by an uncomfortable performance of forced tradition. Christmas is not about putting your foot to the accelerator in a mad dash to briefly touch on some arbitrary illusion of a reality that will never be yours. And it’s not about turning off your self-control on spending only to awake in January to a pounding credit card hangover. No, Christmas is about stepping away from the rat race and taking part in those things that are most important to you. It’s about doing things for others – and with others – not because you have to, but because you want to. Here on the Peninsula, it could mean volunteering to help out at a community dinner, helping put together a Christmas hamper for a family in need or maybe visiting a relative or friend whose day would be brightened by your visit. It could be, too, an act as simple as throwing a few loose coins into a Salvation Army kettle, many of which can be found around town, manned by devoted volunteer bell-ringers. The holidays are not about spectacle, they’re about intimacy – or should be, at least. By all means invest some extra effort in finding that special gift. However, before you do, make sure you aren’t doing it because it will impress, but because it will be appreciated. Go ahead and drag the kids to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree, or to cousin Gertrude’s house for fruitcake, or to that community choral show. However, do it not because it is expected of you, but because it will help you to be connected. In all this bustle, take a pause, dial it back and make some quiet time to connect with those people most important to you. Because connection is the best present one can get.

it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly. So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that. There are those who would say we should artificially lower the [revenue projection] number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of artificially raising it? You either accept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians. TF: Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without significant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both? PCC: You will see when we get to the budget.

TF: If the BC Liberals form a government in May, will the election date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election budgets?

We need them, Giving gifts they need us that give back Editor: This is a tough time of the year for people who have lost a loved one. The thought of the first Christmas alone can be overwhelming. Family and friends try to help, but there are times when professional help and trained volunteers are needed. I am one of the lucky ones, the wonderful people at the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society have helped me through the past year and have given me hope. In the past year my beloved soul mate and husband got sick and passed away. The wonderful people at the hospice have helped me through the year and continue to do so, as I am facing my first Christmas alone. This is a busy time of the year for the society, providing additional support to help people get through the Christmas season. This year was a challenge for the White Rock South Surrey Hospice; programs and appointments to help people had to be cancelled because the old house that functions as office space flooded for the second time in two years. Staff and volunteers scrambled and programs and events were relocated. A cancelled appointment may seem trivial, unless you are the person who recently lost your child, spouse, parent or best friend. To that person, a missed appointment can be devastating. The society needs a new building so that this does not happen again. We have a tremendous caring resource in our community. They need our help. Please consider dropping by Semiahmoo Mall and making a donation at their booth. If you or someone you know has suffered a loss, they have a Christmas tree where you can place a dove with loved ones’ names. They also have suggestions on how to deal with the Christmas season when it may be your first one alone in a long time. We need the Hospice Society, and they need us to support them. Claire Hancock, White Rock
Kindness of strangers Editor: On Nov. 30, I was walking in the Semiahmoo Mall, when I suffered a medical emergency, probably resulting from a Parkinson’s condition. As I passed by the Santa Claus enclosure, my balance evaporated. I started to fall to the floor, but was supported by a stranger who gently lowered me to the mall floor without injury. Other kind strangers called the mall security; Cheryl, who, with the stranger, got me to a chair and I recovered. But the unknown stranger left without my getting his name and my thanks. My gratitude and thanks to everyone involved. John Harding, Surrey
Editor: Are you looking for gift ideas for the person who has everything… or too much? I encourage you to support our local businesses, charities, those truly in need and be creative in gift giving for Christmas. Most of us truly are blessed and have more material things than we need. There are many, however, who aren’t as fortunate. The Salvation Army, in partnership with Sources, endeavour to bring a joyful Christmas to those in need. Sources provides food and the Salvation Army provides toys, clothing, gift cards and other gifts. There are families, single people, and senior citizens in need of our assistance, not only at Christmas, but all year round. Both groups help these fellow citizens, all year round. How can we help them? If you have an office gathering, a community group, school or neighbourhood party, you can ask people to donate a gift, food item or gift certificate. Consider a circle of friends who all knit or sew. Make a homemade item to donate.
Your family can also adopt a family, if that’s what you choose. Another thought is to do a random act of kindness. This is a heartwarming example of giving that your children will remember. Have them participate in this endeavor by creating something themselves, like baking cookies or making a card. I took my granddaughters shopping last week and they each chose a gift to give to a less fortunate child. It was wonderful to take advantage of this opportunity to teach sacrifice and thoughtfulness. I would be happy if my family gave me a loving card and told me they had donated a gift on my behalf to a charity in our community. Here are some other ideas for Christmas giving. How about a gift certificate from one of our area businesses? There are wonderful local owner/managed restaurants, stores, service providers – all offering gift certificates. Want something more personal? How about crafts made by fellow residents? If you want to purchase gifts, give the gift of time. What a great opportunity to build relationships. My adult sons like to give me a homemade card with an offer for a dinner and movie night or a gift card for a massage. My granddaughters always make a little gift for me.
I look forward to these much more than mass-produced items. Another idea, which is lots of fun, is to create a coupon book of favours like free babysitting, trip to the airport, breakfast in bed… For your children or grandchildren, consider gifting an educational item The season is about caring about people. Support small businesses, local charities and bring a new level of caring to our community. Our local businesses help many charity and school events, and they deserve to be supported. When we care about fellow Canadians, the benefits will come back in ways we cannot even imagine. Myra Merkal, White Rock

Pinocchio (Michelle Gaetz) and Dame (Bryce Paul Mills) are family-friendly, assures director Susanne de Pencier.
Sometimes a nose is just a nose Editor: Re: Parental guidance, Dec. 11 letters. In response to Grant O’Kane’s letter to the editor where he claims he “understand(s) all about pantomimes,” he states with what seems like surprise that he heard – since he did not actually attend the White Rock Players’ Club show – there was a “main character who was a male dressed as a woman teacher who was extremely over-thetop trampy,” and there were “constant sexual innuendos.” If he actually understood British pantomime, he would already be aware that, of course, the Dame is played by a man, and traditionally played on the “bawdy” side. As far as the over-the-top sexuality – that is in the mind of the beholder. I have a seven-year-old granddaughter, and I have absolutely no problem in her attending this production of Pinocchio. She will be drawn to the fantastical characters in their colorful costumes. She will boo the villains and cheer the heros, and will give loud, enthusiastic advice to characters on stage. She will not be paying attention to the political, topical and sometimes-titillating humour included to appeal to our adult audience, whom we attempt not to bore to death by subjecting them to something akin to Teletubbies.
Besides, I would never consider subjecting my grandchild to anything that I thought was obscene. There are three little girls in our cast, and none of their parents seem to be concerned that they are being exposed to harmful influences. The girls are having the time of their lives and are a huge-plus to the family aspect of our show. I appreciate the letter-writer’s concerns, and I do not mean to downplay what apparently to him is an issue – but a PG-13 rating… Really??? I realize there are a lot of overly mature children in the world, and if there are some who “get” the humor aimed at the adults, then perhaps they are mature enough to have an adult sit down and explain it to them. I invite the letter-writer to come and examine Pinocchio’s noses. There is absolutely no resemblance to anything sexual, as he suggests in his letter. They are simply noses of different lengths, so that the audience can actually see his nose growing, a consequence to the fact he tells a lie. Apparently, the fact was missed that the story is about our hero striving to be true to his friends, and make decisions to do the right thing when faced with options to do otherwise.

McNally steps down after four years
New head of school board Sheila Reynolds Black Press
After serving as chairperson for four years, Trustee Laurae McNally on Thursday handed the gavel to fellow Trustee Shawn Wilson, the new head of the Surrey Board of Education. McNally, who’s in her 29th year a Surrey trustee, has been chair since 2008, although she also
spent several years in the ‘80s and ‘90s leading the board. At Thursday’s public board meeting, she said she’s ready for a break from the role. “I just want to go out to schools and see students and teachers – that’s where my heart is,” said McNally. District Supt. Mike McKay lauded her for her “exemplary”
leadership, as did her colleagues. Wilson has been a board members since 1999 and previously served as chair from 2003 to 2007 and was vice-chair from 2000 to 2003 and 2008 to 2011. He was acclaimed as chairperson. Trustee Laurie Larsen was named the new vice-chair. The board of education chair and vice-chair are elected annually.

Catroppa’s family says Maria was “sadly and simply” a victim of domestic violence, as was echoed in Josephson’s verdict when he said: “Unfortunately it is not uncommon in situations of domestic violence to see physical attacks on a spouse motivated by anger at an unwanted separation.” Though the victim’s family is thankful Damin’s murder conviction was upheld, they say they have been forced to relive the horrible events yet again. “We have not been given time to truly grieve our mother’s death,” said Catroppa’s daughter, Jay Tuason, noting Nov. 24 was the third anniversary of the murder. “We have yet to receive closure because her murderer continues to look for ways to buy his way out of jail.

‘We’re building a sense of community’ Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter
arie Isaac stands in the industrial-size kitchen, helping her team clean-up after a lunch service for more than 200 people. In the midst of the clattering, the washing and the laughing, the petite chef calmly tells her team what needs to be done in the hours to come. For any chef, serving 200 people is a difficult feat, but for Isaac, whose staff is comprised of eager volunteers – many who may not have any kitchen experience – each service hosted at Gracepoint Community Church in South Surrey is nothing short of a miracle. For the past seven years, Isaac has been in charge of the church’s Sunday community dinner service, feeding those in need a nourishing meal with a side of good company. “The people who come here develop relationships. They find a warm place, acceptance and friendships,” Isaac said. “We’re building a sense of community.”
This year, with the help of Gracepoint community pastor Steve Bains, Isaac hopes to extend the care offered by the church’s annual Christmas dinner next Sunday by filling up backpacks with vital items to help the dinner attendees retain some of the warmth they enjoy at the church. “We would like to see if the community would like to help provide some gifts for them. Things like socks, gloves, toques and even backpacks. If we could get enough backpacks, we would like to fill them with trinkets and things they need,” Isaac said. For Isaac and Bains, the community dinners provide them an avenue to reach out to those who have no one else and offer up further support and guidance. This month, the duo is working to break the cycle of dependence that many of the dinner guests are stuck in by asking for people to bring in their pennies and other spare change to fill a jar that will be used to help people in need in Africa. “The challenge is to fill up a very large bottle and give back, while

Attendees enjoy dinner at a busy Gracepoint Community Church. doing it as a team,” Bains said. “To encourage them to be thankful and realize that there may be somebody else in need that they can help is wonderful.” So far, the efforts of Isaac and Bains have borne fruit, with Isaac noting there are many stories of people who have completely turned their lives around through the services offered. Of the many success stories, one in particular stands out for Isaac.
“A woman came to the dinners and I had known her 40 years ago and she was from a well-to-do family. But she had fallen on hard times. She was suffering from mental-health issues and was living out of her car,” Isaac said. “She became involved with the church and the services offered and now she is cleaned up. You can see now, she looks much better and more positive. She’s come a tremendous distance from
when I saw her a year or so ago.” Despite the successes they have enjoyed with the people they have encountered, Isaac admits the volume of people coming in has not decreased. In fact, last year, Isaac noted, there were quite a few Sundays where the dinners had more than 200 guests attending. Feeding a crowd of that size can cost the church at least $500. “We offer up first-rate food and we want to keep that level of quality. Monetary donations and food donations are always welcome,” she said, adding that last year, she received a donation of $2,000 on Christmas Eve. “It was a wonderful surprise.” This year’s Christmas dinner service will take place Dec. 23 at 5 p.m. To donate to the Sunday dinner service or to find out about volunteering, visit www. gracepoint.ca. Items such as toques, scarves, backpacks, etc., can be dropped off at the church located at 3487 King George Blvd., Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Found money boosts PAN Christmas Fund
Holiday spirit contagious Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The generosity of a somewhat mischievous anonymous stranger has inspired a White Rock senior to add $200 to the Peace Arch News Christmas Fund. Joe Connolly said he was inspired to donate the cash after attempts to find the owner of a crisp $50 bill he’d found outside a White Rock thrift store last week unexpectedly grew the cash cache to $100. Connolly said he was heading into the Superfluity Shop on Prospect Avenue Tuesday (Dec. 11) when the chain of events that led to the donation kicked off: he found $50 at the foot of the stairs. While his first thought was “oh, lucky me,” Connolly said his mind quickly shifted to the owner of the money, and what the loss of that $50 could mean to them, particularly at this time of year. Inside, he asked an acquaintance who’d entered the store moments before him if the money was his – and got the shock of the season. “At that moment, a man reached over my shoulder and said, ‘Here’s another $50, keep them both,’” Connolly said.

“He said, ‘I was wondering how honest the person would be that picked them up.’” A “flabbergasted” Connolly said he immediately tried to return the funds, but the tall, goodlooking stranger would have none of it, simply smiling when asked if he’d planted the bill. Wednesday, carrying on the
goodwill, Connolly brought the bills to Peace Arch News, doubled the total and handed over a cheque for $200 for the Christmas Fund, a long-running effort that helps make Christmas brighter for the less fortunate on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. “It’s how $50 grew to $200,” Connolly said.

Volunteers set for bird count Thousands of volunteers across Canada – and throughout South Surrey/White Rock – will be counting birds until Jan. 5 as part of the National Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count. Volunteers from every Canadian province and territory, all 50 of the United States, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies, and Pacific Islands, will brave winter weather to participate in the world’s longest-running wildlife census, begun in 1900. Beginning last Friday, participants are counting and recording every individual bird and bird species seen in a specified area, accumulating information about the winter distributions of various birds. To participate in this year’s count – set for Dec. 30 in South Surrey/White Rock – or for more information, visit www. birdscanada.org/volunteer/cbc “Because of the duration of the counts the data collected over the years has become most valuable to scientists as a tool used to analyze population trends in birds,” said Viveka Ohman, a South Surrey resident and co-ordinator of the count on the Peninsula. The many decades of data not only help identify birds in need of conservation action, but also reveal success stories. The Christmas Bird Count helped document the comeback of the bald eagle and significant increases in waterfowl populations, both the result of conservation efforts. Last year’s count shattered records in Canada with a total of 412 counts involving more than 12,000 participants. In all, Canadian volunteers logged 3.9 million birds of 303 species.

Cloverdale goaltender Laurent Brossoit doesn’t make team
Wotherspoon makes Team Canada cut Rick Kupchuk Black Press
The call from Hockey Canada brass two weeks ago was one very much welcomed by Cloverdale’s Tyler Wotherspoon. He was only too happy not to get a second call Thursday afternoon in Calgary. Wotherspoon was one of 31 players named to the Hockey Canada Junior Team Selection camp, and for a few anxious moments after a practice and three exhibition games,
he along with the other players at the tryout of 23 players chosen to head to Europe in Calgary were in their hotel rooms waiting over the weekend, to begin preparations for to see if their phone would ring. the World Junior Championship ❝After the three Only players getting cut would (WJC) in Ufa, Russia Dec. 26 to receive the call and be sent back games, I felt pretty Jan. 4. to their Major Junior teams.

Tie, loss on home ice
Single point for Eagles Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles’ preChristmas struggles continued last week, as the BC Hockey League squad failed to earn a victory for the second weekend in a row. Coming off a Vancouver Island road trip in which they lost twice, the Eagles earned a 5-5 tie with the Powell River Kings, and followed that with a 2-0 loss at the hands of the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. The one-point weekend resulted in the the Spruce Kings leapfrogging them in the Mainland Division standings; the Eagles now sit in third place, three points back of Prince George and seven behind the division-leading Chilliwack Chiefs. On Friday, Surrey ended its modest two-game losing streak by playing Powell River to a tie, but they let an extra point get away from them – the Kings rallied from a 5-2 deficit in the final 10 minutes to tie the game. After Matthew Dupont gave the visitors a 1-0 first-period lead, the Eagles controlled the middle frame, scoring five times. Demico Hannoun, Mason Blacklock and Stefan Burzan all scored in the first 7:32 of the period – chasing Powell River starting goaltender Jonah Imoo. Powell River’s Jarryd Leung made it 3-2 just three minutes later, before Eagles’ Drew Best and Craig Wyszomirski scored less than three minutes apart to make it 5-2. In the third, however, the Kings scored three goals on 10 shots. First, Jordan Burns scored on the power play, and Evan Richardson and Luke Nogard added goals later in the period. In overtime, Surrey peppered Powell River backup netminder

Braeden Ostepchuk with 10 shots – compared to just one Kings’ shot on Eagles goalie Michael Santaguida – but neither team could break the deadlock. The tie put a dent in the Eagles’ impressive string of strong third periods. Heading into the contest, the Birds were a perfect 11-0 when leading after 40 minutes. In Sunday’s shutout loss to the Spruce Kings, the Eagles were stymied by Prince George goaltender Kirk Thompson, a Surrey native and former majormidget star of the Valley West Hawks. Thompson, who picked up BCHL player of the week honours earlier this season, stopped 41 Surrey shots to earn his second shutout of the year. Both Prince George goals came
in the third period, as Trevor Esau scored at the 5:46 mark and Coltyn Hansen scored a powerplay empty-netter with 14 seconds left in the game. The Eagles struggled on the power play Sunday, going 0-for7; they failed to score in three extra-man opportunities Friday, and saw their overall power-play percentage drop to 12th best in the BCHL. The team is now off until after Christmas, with the next game slated for Dec. 28 when the division-leading Chiefs pay a visit to South Surrey Arena. The following day, the Eagles head to Chilliwack for a rematch, and on Dec. 30 they complete a threegames-in-three-nights stretch on the road against the Coquitlam Express.
pretty confident about the process. “I was confident, but I thought it (getting cut) could happen. But I was happy with my play.” Team Canada left for Finland today (Saturday) where they will practise and play a pair of pre-competition games before their first WJC contest Dec. 26 against Finland in Ufa.

He was one of two players from Cloverdale at the camp. Goaltender Laurent Brossoit of the Edmonton Oil Kings was also in Calgary, but was one of the players cut Thursday evening. The two have a history of playing together, and were hoping to be
teammates again in Ufa. They spent their years at the rep level with Cloverdale Minor Hockey on Pee Wee and Bantam AAA teams, then were teammates on the 2008-09 Valley West Hawks Major Midget squad. “It was heartbreaking to see him get cut,” Wotherspoon said. “We’ve been through so much together. He played so well (this week).” Canada is grouped with Russia, the United States, Slovakia and Germany in Pool B at the WJC. The top three teams in each of two pools advance to the playoff round. The four pre-tournament games (two in Finland, two in Russia), four round-robin games and all playoff contests will be televised live on TSN.

sports Curling event will feature 10 of province’s best women’s teams
BC Scotties returning to Surrey Rick Kupchuk Black Press
File photo
Kelly Scott, the three-time defending champion, will compete at the BC Scotties next month.
The BC Scotties is returning to Surrey, two years after a successful first-ever tournament at the Cloverdale Curling Club. Ten of the best women’s teams will be in Cloverdale Jan. 14-20, 2013 to decide a provincial champion and B.C.’s representative to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts a month later in Kingston, Ont. The local club hosted the provincial tournament in 2011, and Curl BC had hoped to return to Cloverdale again the following season. “They (Curl BC) wanted us to do it last year, but we just couldn’t,” said Cloverdale Curling Club manager Judy MacKinnon. “We committed to the (Canadian Postal Employees Curling Classic) tournament.” But with room on the club’s 2012-13 calendar, they accepted the challenge hosting a second BC Scotties in three years, an event which will see a week of round robin play followed by a semifinal on Jan. 19 and
the final on Jan. 20. Both playoff games will be televised live on Shaw TV. “It puts the Cloverdale Curling Club on the map, some people don’t know there’s a curling club in Surrey,” said MacKinnon. “It helps give the city some publicity. And it lets our curlers know we do more than just offer the little things, like the weekly leagues to curl in. It shows we can do some of the bigger events as well.” Kelly Scott, the skip of the three-time defending provincial championship team from Kelowna, drew an automatic berth into next month’s competition. Marla Mallett has skipped her Cloverdale foursome into the tournament, earning the most points on the Canadian Team Ranking System between Dec. 1, 2011 and Nov. 15, 2012. The former Royal City club member now calls the Cloverdale club home, and is on a tea that includes third Kelly Shimizu, second Shannon Ward, lead Barb Zbeetnoff and fifth Danielle Callens.
Legal Services
Six other teams have qualified at two open events last month, with another two to qualify at a three-team play down this weekend in Vernon. Marilou Richter of the Royal City Club, Prince George’s Patti Knezevic and Roberta Kuhn of Vernon qualified at the first qualification event in Vernon Nov. 20. Allison MacInnes of Abbotsford, Pat Sanders of Victoria and Simone Groundwater of Williams Lake qualified two weekends ago in North Vancouver. Tickets will be available next week by calling the Cloverdale club at 604-574-4483, and the price of $40 for a tournament pass is possible only because of the lower costs of hosting at the local venue. “We had 500 people a draw last year,” said McKinnon. “(Hosting at) an ice rink is too big, a bigger rink drives the cost of the ticket higher. We want to keep it at the club, this way the seniors and the kids from the local schools can attend.”

The Use of Insurance Trusts in Estate Planning Life insurance is an important component of many people’s estate plans. If you own a life insurance policy, it is worth taking a moment to reexamine your beneficiary designations. Under B.C.’s Insurance Act, an insured can appoint a trustee for a beneficiary. On the insured’s death, the insurance proceeds are paid to the trustee, who then holds the proceeds on trust terms set out in either the insured’s Will or in a separate document called an Insurance Trust Declaration. Insurance trusts provide greater flexibility by allowing you to control how, when, and to whom, your insurance proceeds will be paid. Using an insurance trust can also keep the insurance proceeds out of your estate, thereby reducing probate fees. Let’s take the example of a husband and wife with two minor children. The husband has a life insurance policy of $750,000 under which his wife is the primary beneficiary. If the wife predeceases the husband and no alternate beneficiary was named, the insurance proceeds will fall into the husband’s estate, and will be subject to probate fees of approximately 1.4%. Designating minor children as alternate beneficiaries is also not ideal. If children become entitled to insurance monies during their minority, the funds are paid to the Public Guardian and Trustee. Upon turning 18, the child can apply to have the full value of the proceeds paid out to them. In the example above, the husband might consider designating a trustee to receive the insurance proceeds. The trustee would hold the proceeds in accordance with terms set by the husband, for example, that the proceeds be held until the children are 25. One may also direct how the insurance proceeds are to be applied, i.e. that the proceeds be used to pay any income tax owing as a result of the insured’s death. Such provisions are not possible using the insurer’s standard designation forms. Other benefits of insurance trusts include: • Tax Savings – insurance trusts can provide effective income splitting vehicles for your beneficiaries • Probate Fee Avoidance – keeping insurance proceeds out of your estate saves probate fees (on a $750,000 policy, the probate fee savings are ~$10,000) • Protection against Claims – keeping insurance proceeds out of your estate can shield the proceeds from creditor claims and claims under the Wills Variation Act • Minor and Disabled Beneficiaries – insurance trusts allow you to provide for minor and disabled beneficiaries, and to control how and when monies are paid out To discuss whether an insurance trust declaration is right for you, or for more information, please contact Kim Karras or Kirsten Wharton at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at kakarras@ bkslaw.com or kwharton@bkslaw.com.

You completely redrew the map of breast cancer. Cancer breakthroughs need you. When BC Cancer Agency researchers revealed breast cancer should be thought of as 10 distinct diseases, a discovery that will revolutionize treatment and diagnosis, they didn’t do it alone. With your donation to the BC Cancer Foundation, you become a partner with BC’s leading cancer researchers. As the fundraising partner of the BC Cancer Agency, the BC Cancer Foundation funds more cancer research in BC than any other charitable organization.
Help BC’s cancer researchers make their next breakthrough. Become a Partner in Discovery.
Celebrate a Life DECEMBER 1 - DECEMBER 23 Semiahmoo Shopping Centre
Celebrate a Life hours: Mon.-Fri. 10am-8pm, Sat. & Sun. 10-6 The journey of mourning the loss of a loved one is always difficult, particularly during the holidays. 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.
