Aboriginal protest

Most staff can reapply at ‘redefined’ store: HBC

Call for action

Still a Zellers market

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Hundreds of protesters marched at the Peace Arch Saturday in support of the growing Idle No More movement. The peaceful demonstration at the Douglas border crossing included supporters from both sides of the border and as far away as Vancouver Island. Many wore traditional aboriginal clothing, carried flags and played drums. The Idle No More movement started in November in opposition to the omnibus federal bill C-45, introduced by the Harper government in October. The bill, which passed into law in December, implements changes to the Indian Act, the Navigation Protection Act and the Environment Assessment Act, and has been criticized by opponents due to lack of consultation with First Nations. Marilyn Borgen, a South Surrey resident of Cree-Métis heritage, brought her aboriginal foster children to Saturday’s demonstration. “It’s time to take a stand,” Borgen said. “The Harper government should smarten up. I don’t think they should take the rights away from the natives.” The movement has gained momentum in recent weeks since Theresa Spence, chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation in Ontario, began a hunger strike in December, seeking a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Harper announced last week he would meet this Friday with Spence and members of the Assembly of First Nations. Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd at the Peace Arch demonstration – one of several protests to take place Saturday across Canada and the U.S. – Joan Phillip said she expects support for the movement continue to grow in the coming months. “This is just the beginning,” the spouse of Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said. “I honestly feel this is going to be a long, hot summer. We don’t want any more meetings, we want action.” – with Boaz Joseph & Jeff Nagel

South Surrey will keep its Zellers store open, a Hudson’s Bay Company spokesperson has confirmed. Tiffany Bourré told Peace Arch News Monday that despite earlier word the Semiahmoo Shopping Centre location would close March 16 – given as recently as that morning – a decision has been made to keep it open. “It will continue beyond March 2013,” Bourré said. “Zellers will redefine the store format to focus on fashion apparel and a refined home product offering, with a shared merchandise mix with other HBC banners,” she added by email. The future of existing employees is less clear. Bourré said given that job descriptions and responsibilities may change with the new model, staff will have to reapply. The majority will be given that opportunity, she said. “Those who remain will continue their service without disruption to seniority or other benefits,” she added. Last summer, HBC announced plans to close 64 Zellers stores that weren’t among 189 sold to the Target chain in 2011. At the time, exactly what the future held for the South Surrey site was unclear. The site’s pharmacy files were transferred to the nearby PriceSmart Foods pharmacy last spring. In recent weeks, customers have been told various scenarios, everything from the store being in liquidation to plans for it to be renovated and reopened as an HBC clearance centre. Zellers staff were reportedly advised before Christmas that the store would remain. Bourré was unable to provide further details regarding the change of heart by PAN’s press deadline Monday afternoon.

Sandpiper Pub closes doors until Jan. 22

Councillor’s business rapped by liquor board Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Marine Drive pub co-owned by White Rock’s newest city councillor is temporarily closed after its licence was suspended by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. A notice posted on the Sandpiper Pub’s front door advises visitors the 15595 Marine Dr. establishment will reopen on Jan. 22. In a nearby front window, a sign advises that the pub’s liquor license has been suspended. Bill Lawrence – who won a seat on White Rock council in a Nov. 3 byelection – confirmed Monday that the suspension took effect Saturday morning. He said it relates to the pub exceeding its 65-person liquor-licence capacity on a weekend evening Bill Lawrence early last summer. “We’ve put an application in to have that changed,” Lawrence said of the limit, noting it is about half of the pub’s actual allowed occupancy. Lawrence described the limit as “a relic from decades gone by” that both he and the pub’s

previous owners had neglected to address. He doesn’t dispute the allegation – which was determined by an RCMP head count – and said two staff were fired as a result. “You do your best, you hire the people that you feel are going to get the job done for the business. If they are not able to comply with… regulations and keep things within limits, then they have to be taken to task.” A new security service has been employed to ensure compliance, Lawrence said, emphasizing patron safety was not an issue. The penalty is the second time in recent months that a business owned by Lawrence has come under fire from the LCLB. A $7,500 fine was levied on Oct. 29 after a covert operation caught an employee of Sandpiper Liquor Store, at 1235 Johnston Rd., selling alcohol to a minor.

Industrial accident kills Surrey man An industrial accident in a community 110 kilometres east of Vancouver has claimed the life of a 45-year-old Surrey man. The B.C. Coroners Service announced Monday that Robert Thomas Trevena died Saturday while operating a Bobcat compact

excavator on private property in Deroche. Exact details of the incident were not available by Peace Arch News press time. The incident is being investigated by the coroner’s service and WorkSafeBC. – Tracy Holmes

Surrey judge rules federal minimum is unconstitutional

Mandatory gun sentences shot down Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey provincial court judge has ruled that the federal three-year mandatory sentence for carrying a loaded, restricted firearm is unconstitutional. Judge James Bahen made the ruling Thursday in connection with the sentencing of Glenn Harley Tetsuji Sheck, 31, who was convicted last May of possessing such a gun at a Surrey restaurant two years ago. Bahen adjourned the court proceedings to give prosecutors an opportunity to show the three-year sentence is reasonable prior to his handing down a sentence. On Nov. 4, 2010, police had Sheck under surveillance and had information he was carrying a firearm in a black Louis Vuitton bag.

They watched him leave his home and drive to another house where he spent a brief amount of time. Alone, Sheck then drove to and entered a restaurant on 152 Street in North Surrey at about 7:10 p.m. with the black bag. He was sitting by himself inside when officers approached him and asked him to go outside. He complied and was arrested without incident. The gun, a Glock nine-millimetre semiautomatic handgun – a weapon prohibited in Canada – was seized. The gun’s magazine was loaded and contained 10 cartridges, according to court documents. Crown argued that a three-year sentence is appropriate because of the danger Sheck’s actions posed. However, defence lawyers said Sheck should serve no more than a year and

a half, arguing the three-year mandatory minimum is cruel and unusual punishment (Section 12 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms) and breached his right to “life, liberty and security of person” under Section 7. In his ruling Thursday, Bahen said the mandatory minimum sentence legislation breached both sections. However, he added that the three-year minimum is “not cruel and unusual punishment” for this particular case, but considered it “harsh and excessive” in that it doesn’t’ address Sheck’s individual circumstances. Sheck has no prior criminal record, is a father of four, works as an apprentice electrician, is the sole economic support for his family and is of First Nations descent. He’s been under strict bail conditions since his arrest.

“If (Sheck) were sentenced for this offence based on the facts of the offence and his personal circumstances, without the mandatory minimum provision, I would impose a sentence that is less than three years,” wrote Bahen in his ruling. The mandatory federal firearms sentences were enacted four years ago. Bahen agreed with Sheck’s lawyers that the law causes problems because it demands a three-year sentence when the Crown proceeds on direct indictment and only one year when Crown proceeds summarily on less-serious crimes. It creates an “arbitrary and fundamentally unjust sentencing process,” Bahen said. Scheck’s next appearance is scheduled for Jan. 21.

Food bank thankful

Crisis averted Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Food bank manager Jaye Murray says community response to a pre-Christmas plea for help stocking shelves was “amazing.”

Following a pre-Christmas plea to help stock the shelves at Sources’ food bank, staff and volunteers are no longer walking freely through the facility’s aisles. They’re stepping around stacks of canned goods, shimmying their way through passageways and even sharing their lunch room with boxes upon boxes of non-perishables. It’s a good problem to have. “It’s amazing,” said operations manager Jaye Murray. “This is what it’s supposed to be like.” Last month, Murray was among Sources’ officials worried about how the facility would continue to meet the needs of the hundreds of people who rely on the goods that are distributed at the 5-15515 24 Ave. site every week. Donations typically seen over the holiday season – and relied on to carry them through the next six months – were distinctly lacking. Friday, Murray described the influx of donations that followed Peace Arch News’ Dec. 18 front-page article as “fantastic.” People arrived with donations by the box-load “right up to the 24th (of December),” she said. “The volunteers had to work overtime. It was just like a flood at the last minute… it just kept pouring in.” Murray said the weight of donations exceeded that seen in December 2011 significantly – 79,000 pounds compared to 66,000. “We’ve got a pretty generous community.”

Hundreds of calls each month from those with new diagnoses, city told

‘Profound need’ for Alzheimer’s funding here Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An appeal for help convincing Fraser Health to strengthen resources for Alzheimer’s patients has received the support of White Rock council. It is “well-worthy of action from council,” Coun. Helen Fathers said following a presentation last month by Stan Fryer, a facilitator at the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s White Rock Resource Centre. Fryer told council of as-yet unsuccessful efforts to convince Fraser Health officials to commit

financially to First Link, an early intervention service that helps connect those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementia with services and support as quickly as possible after diagnosis. Fraser Health is one of the few districts in B.C. that doesn’t have the service, Fryer said Dec. 17. “They haven’t released the money to hire (a co-ordinator),” he said. But a Fraser Health spokesman said word of the request for financial support was news to program directors he spoke to. “None of the program directors

I spoke to were aware of a request from the White Rock community for Fraser Health to provide financial support for First Link in that community,” Roy ThorpeDorward said by email last week. Fraser Health does, however, provide “in kind” support, ThorpeDorward notes, citing access to meeting rooms for the First Link advisory committee and provision of space for an annual provincial learning forum. “Interdisciplinary teams also assist the First Link co-ordinator in accessing physicians in our com-

munities and getting onto agendas for presentations, etc.,” he writes. Thorpe-Dorward describes Fraser Health as “very supportive” of initiatives such as First Link, but says the health authority “has had to restrict funding to our ‘core programs.’” Fryer – noting that about 80 per cent of 200 to 300 calls to the White Rock Alzheimer’s office every month are from those dealing with a new diagnosis – told council the need for First Link here is profound. He was speaking from experience. He and his wife, Shirley, had

been married 54 years when Shirley was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2002. “We had tears for the next six months wondering what would happen to us,” he said. “Fraser Health, they have the money (for a co-ordinator), they just haven’t made the decision.” A motion by Fathers to refer the matter to staff “to see if we can come up with something to help,” received unanimous support. Mayor Wayne Baldwin also pledged to take the issue to the Fraser Health committee he sits on.

Icy conditions caused 40 vehicles to crash

Port Mann de-icing upped LOBSTERFEST... FEST...ROCKS! ROCKS! LOBSTER

Jeff Nagel Black Press

More frequent de-icing of the new Port Mann Bridge has been ordered after multiple accidents involving 40 vehicles jammed Highway 1 traffic early Thursday morning. Icy conditions developed along with heavy fog on the morning commute despite the bridge being sprayed with a de-icing solution at 4 a.m. Wednesday. Max Logan, spokesman for the Transportation Investment Corp. that oversees the bridge, said the treatment of the saltwater brine solution should have lasted 48 hours but proved to be “not sufficient” as ice built up between 5 and 6 a.m. the following morning, after crews ended their overnight checks. He said contractors will now be directed to apply de-icing solution at least every 24 hours on the Port Mann instead of every 48. “Clearly it was not adequate,” Logan said. “We have told them they need to apply it more frequently.” One person was taken to hospital with minor injuries Thursday, according to RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. Speed was reportedly a contributing factor as some drivers sped past slower traffic then lost control or couldn’t stop for other

Port Mann bridge crashes involved an estimated 40 vehicles. vehicles crashed ahead of them. It was the second major incident since the bridge opened that’s affected numerous motorists and prompted an official apology as well as vows to improve. More than 250 vehicles were damaged Dec. 19 by ice that fell from the bridge’s cables, which cross overtop of traffic lanes. A fix to prevent more overhead ‘ice bombs’ from building up has been promised, at the cost of the bridge’s builder. But unlike that time, the bridge did not close last week so tolls aren’t being refunded. Logan said Mainroad Contracting has also been directed to use crystal salt in addition to the brine solution on the bridge when conditions warrant. “There’s to be no repeat of this morning’s circumstances,” he said. There were no reports of severe

icing at other bridges in the region. Logan said there’s nothing unique about the new Port Mann Bridge that makes it more susceptible to icing up – the asphalt surface is the same as the old span. But he said accidents may be more likely because there are now more lanes open and drivers can drive faster in slippery conditions than they usually could over the old, heavily congested bridge. The new bridge is the centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 improvement project. In an emailed statement, Transportation Minister Mary Polak said there’s no indication the bridge’s design was to blame and urged motorists to drive accordingly in winter conditions. “We’re tremendously proud of the new Port Mann Bridge,” she said.

A few bad seeds hurt patients

he federal government is bent on pushing medical marijuana grow operations out of residential homes. Crime and safety – home invasions, faulty wiring and mould, among other issues – are the main reasons why, and the plan has the backing of fire chiefs throughout British Columbia. But Health Canada has said that the proposed legislation, which would regulate medical marijuana grow-ops and push them to industrial or agricultural areas, where they would be subject to inspections, will drive up the purchase price. Would that not fuel illegal grows and trade, similar to what occurs now, especially in this province, where marijuana is a major cash crop? Wouldn’t the proposed change nullify any changes to eliminate safety risks? Part of the plan is to let Health Canada medical possession and grow licences expire in 2014. Grow licences will, in future, be more difficult to acquire, which is good, as some seem to have fallen into hands that can’t resist growing more than their licences permit, and selling to people other than those who need it for medicinal purposes. What if, under the new regulations, some who do need it for that reason can’t afford to buy from newly licensed growers? Who benefits then? The federal government’s plan seems only to serve those who can afford to establish commercial grow-op businesses, and put those who subvert the process into prison. Why not regulate, license and disclose small grows in homes, window-sill-type operations for personal, medicinal use? Why not follow Washington and Colorado, and just legalize recreational use? Clearly there is much money to be made in marijuana, and in Canada, we’re wasting way too much money and time trying to curb what is beyond the control of our authorities. Taking away patients’ personal production licences is akin to punishing all because of a few bad seeds.

can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan. His business plan was also simple. Drive to California and see what they’re doing. Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington state. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

Silence greets Christmas facts coal trains here ignored by most Editor: How many people in White Rock appreciate the implications of Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal to build a new coal export terminal? I have seen firsthand the big increase in coal trains heading to Roberts Banks passing along our beautiful waterfront promenade in the last few years. How is it that the City of White Rock has not taken a more active stand on this issue? With all the ongoing effort into improving our waterfront, doesn’t anyone think that hourly coal trains might just detract from the ambiance? If the new coal-export terminal is approved, there will be even more coal trains passing through White Rock with no obvious benefit to the residents of White Rock. I have noticed that residents in towns and cities south of the border – e.g. Bellingham – have a campaign, “No Coal Trains,” to try to stop the development of a coal port at Cherry Point, Wash. These people, supported by their elected officials, are not in favour of the increase in coal-train traffic nor the side effects of passing coal trains – noise/dust pollution. This is completely opposite to the situation north of the border, where it seems not even a whisper has been voiced by White Rock council as a result of this ever-increasing coal train traffic. Maybe instead of “My City by the Sea” our motto should be “My City includes Coal Trains.” Hannah Newman, White Rock

Only right for rich to pay, too Editor: Is it easier to sit on the edge of a fiscal cliff when your annual earnings are $1 million and change, or when you are searching your pockets for spare change? The answer shouldn’t be dependent on ideology. Nevertheless, in Canada, as in the U.S., neoconservatives – not to be mistaken for conservatives – still believe that cutting taxes for the benefit of billion-dollar corporations and the richest few while crumbs trickle down to the rest of us, smaller government, fewer services, less attention to social responsibility, less investment in the future and deregulation is the answer to all the woes of our world. Even as wealth is redistributed upward from the middle to the upper classes of income earners, who are more than willing to pass the burden of good government down to others while depressing wages, the neoconservative mantra is chanted mindlessly by their political class and certain media fellow-travellers. It is time for the wealthiest few to pay their fair share – as their fathers would have done – rather than to preach austerity for others through their political and media voices in the face of want they have created. Brian Marlatt, White Rock

Editor: Re: Holiday season brings many together, Dec. 25 editorial. In his editorial, the editor omits the fact that Christmas is the celebration of the fact of God becoming a man with the purpose of offering Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world. Whether or not a person accepts this fact is their responsibility. However, I find most don’t want to hear the real reason for Christmas. Brett Lovett, Surrey

Sounds of celebration Editor: I was at Holy Trinity Church on Roper Avenue, attending the Christmas Carol Service of my church, enjoying the service as I always do. Listening to the choir

singing Christmas carols from around the word – Holland, Czech, Scotland, France, Ukraine, Germany and West India – there were lessons between each carol and final prayers and blessing given by Rev. Neil Gray. Then the whole congregation sang the hymn, The Virgin Mary. When the service was finished by the choir of 16 men and women, under the leadership of Lynne Francis, the whole congregation clapped their hands to thank the choir and church organist Ülo Valdma in appreciation of the wonderful music and singing. Ernie Avory, Surrey

Good old days in perspective Editor: Re: Words to love by, Dec. 20 letters. Letter-writer Ruth Kyle describes her wonderful life of 70 years ago. This is how it was 70 years ago for others in Canada: Despite the Ten Commandments on the wall, aboriginal children were

being beaten and raped by the clergy of all Christian denominations charged with their education. Death rates were astronomical. Canadians of Asian heritage were denied the vote, as were aboriginals, despite their courage in the war defending a country that denied them basic rights. Both Asian and aboriginal people faced bullying by those who could never be described as “friendly and considerate.” Gays and lesbians placed their lives at risk if they were identified. Any female faced with an out-ofwedlock pregnancy was ostracized and the baby was usually adopted out regardless of the mother’s wishes. The removal of Christian posters and prayers from schools was a necessary step in granting freedom of religion to other faiths. Today’s Canada has addressed some of these issues but still has a long way to go. Christianity’s progress can be measured by the blessing, by the current Pope, of Uganda’s “Kill the gays” minister. Will Rogers once said something that went, “Things ain’t what they used to be and probably never was.” Patrick Thomas, Surrey

Last month’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary – which killed 20 children – spurs both sides of gun-control issue.

Gun control begets more violence Editor: Re: States of emergency; Gun control saves lives, Jan. 1 & 3 letters. You have recently published several letters favouring ‘gun control.’ I write with a different perspective. In the U.S., 49 per cent of the violent crime is committed by a race/gender/age cohort that makes up less than three per cent of the population. This suggests firearms violence is a culture-specific issue. There are jurisdictions with more arms and less violence than the U.S. – Switzerland and Israel – and countries with way fewer arms and more violence than the U.S. – Britain, Jamaica and Russia. There are some 40 U.S. states that have enacted laws by which lawful, trained adults can carry a concealed firearm. In nearly every case, there has followed a drop in violent crime. In no case has there been an increase. The most violent cities and states in the U.S. are “gunfree zones” – Chicago, Detroit and Washington, D.C. The states where both ‘open carry’ and ‘concealed carry’ are unremarkable – Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Vermont – are, by contrast, polite and low-violence zones. At the most recent mass murder in Connecticut, two teachers grappled with the murderer and were killed. Would the overall outcome have been better or worse if either of those teachers had a weapon? In the U.S., the loudest supporters of gun control for, oh, little people, send their own children to private schools with armed staff. Gun control historically has been used to suppress populations. Indians in British India were disarmed so that they could be more easily dominated. Japanese

Americans and Canadians were forcibly disarmed in the 1940s. Canada invoked gun control in the 1930s to suppress socialists. The U.S. instituted its various guncontrol laws to control freed Negroes. Stalin, Mao and Hitler were all absolute fans of gun control. Supporters of gun control should reflect upon the company they keep. Closing thought: you – or your kid – in a locked-down institution, cowering under desks. Shots and screams approaching down the hall. Seconds count. Your room door is smashed in and… Do you want some competent person in that room to be a) armed or b) unarmed? David Danylyshyn, Surrey

Taking a stand in Canada Editor: Re: Call for more guns tough to understand, Dec. 27 column by Peace Arch News editor Lance Peverley. I read your column and agree with your prediction; the NRA’s suggestion can only lead to more bloodshed. However, I respectfully suggest your editorial voice can contribute a great deal more to the resolution of the gun problem which is progressively increasing in severity in Canada. While the situation here has not yet reached the acute crisis facing the U.S., our government continues to fail us with respect to the proliferation of guns and the horrific results that accrue. You can do us all a great service by further educating your readers and persuading us all to write our elected officials and demand the prohibition of guns. Only police and the military should be entitled to possess guns. Don Findlay, Surrey

Teacher charged A Surrey teacher has been charged with trafficking after an alleged drug transaction near a Vancouver elementary school. On Nov. 7, Richmond RCMP officers were on another investigation when a driver was seen to be in contact with a pedestrian. A vehicle search allegedly revealed evidence of drug trafficking. Eugenio Alfonso Bahamonde has been charged with trafficking and possession of a controlled substance. The Surrey School District confirms he was on-call, and that he has been suspended while the case is ongoing. – Kevin Diakiw

More than $1,000 of gifts donated to South Surrey family

New Year’s mom pays it forward in 2013 Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

Alex Browne photo

South Surrey’s Katy Lee – with husband George Tsai and sons Liam, 1, and Nathan, 3 – holds daughter, Katherine, who was Peace Arch Hospital’s first baby of 2013. Right, Lee with Tiffany Baldwin and her daughter Ryan, who was the first baby of 2012 born at Peace Arch Hospital.

outh Surrey’s Katy Lee and her husband, George Tsai, had no idea they were going to be the parents of Peace Arch Hospital’s first baby of 2013. As far as they knew, Katy was just going in to her doctor for a regular prenatal checkup on New Year’s Eve. But when it was discovered that Lee was already fully dilated – without having experienced any other warning signs – the decision was made to rush her to hospital and induce labour. Baby Katherine appeared some 12 hours later, at 1:22 a.m., weighing seven pounds. “She just decided she wanted to come out,” said Katy on Friday morning. “We were so lucky. It was just seven hours of contractions, one push and we were done.” The arrival of Katherine has been an exciting addition to the family for her older brothers Nathan, three-and-a-half, and Liam, who is nearly two. “They’re fighting to kiss her,” said Lee, a former teacher who has been a full-time mom since her first was born. “Katherine is a real blessing” said George, who is director of his own digital signage company, Voodooframe. He said the arrival of a healthy baby was a huge relief after a troubled pregnancy in which the appearance of spotting and a blood clot in Katy’s first ultrasound had led to fears she might lose the baby. There were also concerns because Liam had been premature, the couple said. But such fears, dispelled by further tests at BC Women’s Hospital, were long behind as Katy compared notes Friday with Tiffany Baldwin, and her daughter

Ryan, the first baby of 2012 at Peace Arch Hospital. Baldwin was there to deliver goods she had collected for the 2013 mom and baby, valued at close to $1,000, thanks to a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ NewYearsBabySouthSurreyWhiteRock), which gleaned donations from local individuals groups and merchants. Baldwin wants the project to be a continuing “pay it forward” tradition – which Lee and Tsai, who formed their own non-profit foundation to help educate a victim of the 2011 Japanese earthquake, agreed is a great idea. Tsai, who first came to B.C. from Taiwan with his family at the age of 14, graduated from Semiahmoo Secondary in 1995. He met Katy, a friend of his sister-in-law, while on a business trip back to Taiwan some five years ago. They spent the first year of their marriage backpacking extensively throughout Europe and Asia. “We’re glad we did that then, before we settled down to have kids,” said Katy. “That was the plan,” added George, who says that a family of five means they’ll be homebound for a while, they plan to do more travelling once the children are a little older. Baby Katherine arrived just over 10 minutes before Surrey Memorial Hospital’s first arrival of 2013, Rory Martin Agnew, who weighed in at 8 lbs. 11 oz. at 1:37 a.m. Mother Renee and father Peter, who live near No. 10 Highway and 152 Street, have one other son, Liam, now three-and-a-half. Peace Arch Hospital and the Hospital Auxiliary presented Lee and Baby Katherine with flowers, a stuffed toy and baby clothes, plus hand-knitted toys and clothing.

Event to benefit trio of sisters following father’s death

Local pub to host fundraiser

January Blowout Sale! Save up to 60% on our most popular hearing devices.

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A fundraiser to help a trio of sisters whose father passed away last fall is set for Jan. 12 at Baselines Pub in South Surrey. The event – featuring live music, a 50/50 draw and a silent auction – is to help the family with day-to-day expenses, said Natalie Dunnill, who met the Jensens – father Monty, and children Alicia, 18, Alex and Maddy, both 14 – through Sandcastle Lanes’ youth bowling league. Monty Jensen died on Oct. 24 after suffering a heart attack. He was 55. Dunnill, who is fitness manager at the Sandcastle Club, said long-term health issues including diabetes and a reliance on dialysis meant that Jensen didn’t have life insurance. While the children’s mom has moved back from Kelowna to be with them, her health is also compromised, Dunnill noted, meaning the family is in a tough spot financially. Dunnill described Jensen as a man who, despite his failing health, “made sure his girls got everything they needed.” The Earl Marriott Secondary students play competitive softball and bowling, she said.

A fundraiser set for Jan.12 will benefit the family of Monty Jensen, (above) who died after suffering a heart attack on Oct. 24. The story was all Randy Friesen needed to hear to donate his band’s time for the cause. Dunnill is one of Playlist’s singers, he noted. “It’s quite a tragedy and there’s no one really in their family that’s able to step up,” Friesen said. “It’s been a real tough time for these three girls. We’re hoping we can

Three new elementaries set to open in 2013

Seal of Approval

School plans put to public Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Three new elementary schools in Surrey are slated to open later this year and, in the meantime, the public is invited to see what’s planned for the buildings and school grounds at each site. Sunnyside Elementary – a replacement school for the current facility near busy 152 Street and King George Boulevard – is the first of the three set to open. The district anticipates the new school just blocks away

at 2828 159 St. will be ready this September. By December, it’s expected Goldstone Park and Katzie elementary schools will also be opening their doors to students. Katzie Elementary, in the booming Clayton neighbourhood near 68 Avenue and 194A Street, will relieve pressure at Hazelgrove Elementary. Goldstone, located at 6287 146 St. in Newton, will relieve overcrowding at nearby schools such as Woodward Hill. Meetings regarding

each school – where drawings and plans will be available for viewing and new principals will be on-hand – are planned this month. • An information meeting about Katzie Elementary will be held at Hazelgrove Elementary (7057 191

St.) on Jan. 8, 7 p.m. • A meeting about Goldstone will take place at Cambridge Elementary (6115 150 St.) on Jan. 15, 7 p.m. • Sunnyside Elementary (15350 28 Ave.) is hosting a public meeting on Jan. 24, 7 p.m.

A South Surrey woman whose family founded DanFoss Couriers and Freight 45 years ago has been selected for a resource list aimed at helping directors and search firms that are seeking board members. Hanne Madsen said the Diversity 50 database is a new effort by the Canadian Board Diversity Council to provide a resource of prescreened, boardready candidates for directors Hanne Madsen and search businesswoman firms looking beyond their own networks. The 50 men and women on the list have “strong competencies that align with the requirements of many Canadian boards,” Madsen said. Candidates were selected based on their knowledge, skills and behaviour, with an aim to encouraging diversity on boards. Madsen said she jumped at the opportunity to be on the list. It is “very much an opportunity to open some doors, to get in front of directors… boards that you might not otherwise have the opportunity to.” Madsen managed DanFoss Couriers and Freight for 24 years prior to its sale in 2010.

Casting call forTreasure Island Wanted – a one-legged pirate, answering to the name of Long John Silver. No, it’s not the plea of a wanted poster from the 1700s – but, rather, an urgent request from Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) and founder/artistic director Susan Pendleton. The company’s February

youth production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of adventure, Treasure Island, is looming, but, unfortunately, the adult actor originally cast as the wily sea cook, Long John, is unavailable. Pendleton says the part of long-abandoned castaway Ben Gunn may also need to be filled.

Males and females aged 17 and up are welcome to audition for the roles immediately, but individuals cast must be available for Monday and/ or Wednesday late afternoon rehearsals in South Surrey. For more detailed information, contact Pendleton at 604-5389793, or email sytco@shaw.ca

Stress less A therapy group “for women who do too much” starts again next month in White Rock. Facilitator Ellie Bolgar – a registered clinical counsellor and program manager of Sources’ family services program – says participants in the Stress Less - More Balanced group will learn to “overcome the stress of the ‘Type E’ woman”; understand why they’re overwhelmed; coping skills; and more. The eight-week group, offered by donation, runs from Feb. 5 to March 26, from 6-8 p.m. To register, contact Heather at 604538-2522 or email counsellingservices@ sourcesbc.ca

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Eagles in first after success on road Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Since Christmas, the Surrey Eagles have been busy both on and off the ice. Between the boards, the teams has won three of four on the road – including back-toback shutouts over division rivals Chilliwack and Coquitlam – boosting their BC Hockey League record to 21-10-1-3, which is good for a first-place time with the Chilliwack Chiefs. Last weekend, the Eagles earned a split on their two-game road trip to the Interior, beat-

ing the Trail Smoke Eaters 6-3 Friday before falling to the Penticton Vees 3-2 in overtime Saturday night. Against the Vees, the Eagles fell behind 2-0 but got two third-period goals from Brady Shaw to send the game to OT, where Penticton’s Troy Stecher potted the winner at the 55-second mark. The day before in Trail, Shaw again scored twice – boosting his team-leading goal mark to 22 – while captain Brett Mulcahy had a goal and two assists. Devon Toews chipped in

with two helpers as well. The previous week, Surrey netminder Michael Santaguida posted back-to-back shutouts, stopping 41 shots against the Chiefs Dec. 29, before stopping 32 the following night against Coquitlam. While Santaguida was the star in the victory over the Express, Coquitlam goalie Cole Huggins was even busier, as the Eagles peppered him with a season-high 62 shots on net. Craig Wyszomirski and Mason Blacklock each scored for Surrey.

Off the the ice, Surrey also swung a pair of trades between Christmas and New Year’s, first acquiring 20-year-old defenceman Troy Paterson – son of former Eagles’ owner and current governor Ronnie Paterson – from the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for future considerations. Then, to make room for Paterson on the blue-line, Surrey coach/ GM Matt Erhart sent rookie Austen Bietenbeck to his hometown Langley Rivermen, also in exchange for futures. › see page 23

Firefighters tourney begins

Bringing the fire Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Twenty-one senior girls high school basketball teams will compete at the Surrey Firefighters Goodwill Classic, and the finalists from last year are the favourites to tip off again in the championship game just days away. The 12th annual all-Surrey tournament, run by the Surrey Firefighters Association, will take place Tuesday through Saturday next week at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, 6151 180 St., with four other schools also hosting a total of six games Tuesday and Thursday. The Holy Cross Crusaders have won the last two firefighters championships, and defeated the Fleetwood Park Dragons 68-56 in the 2012 final last January at Lord Tweedsmuir. Provincial rankings suggest a rematch this year is likely, as the Dragons are eighth in the senior AAA polls, while the Crusaders are tabbed as the best team in the senior AA ranks. Holy Cross was led by a group of Grade 10s a year ago, including tournament MVP (Most Valuable Player) Michelle Bos, who scored 26 points in the final. Rachel Beauchamp, who netted 20 points against the Dragons, and Alli Buck were both selected to the 15-player Firefighters Goodwill Classic Dream Team for displaying skill, team work and sportsmanship. Both the Crusaders and Dragons will play their first games of the tournament on

HOLLICK, Michael (Mike) Stephen of White Rock passed away peacefully at the Peace Arch Hospital Hospice on December 28, 2012, with his family at his side. He will be greatly missed by his wife, Elizabeth; daughters Deb (Bill), Jo and Bryony; grandchildren Marina, Sarah and Alex; and by numerous friends and relatives. Mike was born on November 5, 1935 in London, England, the eldest of three brothers. He met his wife, Elizabeth, in 1964, and they were married two years later. Three lovely girls were born and in 1974 the young family immigrated to Canada. Mike ran his own business, Pacific Wood Preservation Services. During his career, he provided considerable leadership to the Canadian wood preservation industry, freely giving his time in numerous capacities. Mike’s hobbies included sailing, reading, skiing, golfing, and music; however, what he loved most was the company of friends and family. Mike will be remembered for his kindness, graciousness, and keen wit. Mike, Dad, Grampa, Michas: we loved you. A memorial gathering will be held later in January. The family wishes to thank the staff at Morgan Place and at the Peace Arch Hospital Hospice for their warmth and compassion.

Francisca Maria Darts 1916 - 2012 Francisca died peacefully in her sleep on Dec. 26 after a lengthy illness. She was born in The Hague, Holland. As a young girl she emigrated with her family to Manitoba. She became an accomplished figure skater and later a champion curler. Music and sheep dogs were also a large part of her life. But her real passion was the 7.5 acres in South Surrey, B.C. that she and her husband Edwin (Ed) purchased in 1943. Here they cleared massive stumps and logs, planted fruit and nut trees, and built their home. An entry from the orchard won Ed the only gold medal ever awarded by the Pacific National Exhibition in that exhibit category. The orchard gradually evolved into the Darts Hill Garden of today. This superb garden is the result of sixty years of hard work, vision, and dedication. In 1995 she and Ed gave Dartshill to the City of Surrey as a garden park. Francisca gave major support and encouragement to local gardening enthusiasts and clubs, particularly the Darts Hill Garden Volunteers, a group that have captured her spirit and now help perpetuate her memory in the Garden. She was an active supporter of the South Surrey Garden Club and the Fraser South Rhododendron Society. For many years Francisca was an ardent supporter of the Alpine Garden Club of British Columbia in which she served as a president, and several times as show chairman. She was a Life Member. Francisca was equally supportive of the Vancouver Rhododendron Society, also serving with it as a president and show chairman. She was awarded an American Rhododendron Society Bronze Medal. She was also a long time member of the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden Friends of the Garden. In 2002 Francisca Darts was the recipient of an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Kwantlen University College in recognition of her contribution to local and world horticulture. Francisca will be remembered as one of Canada’s great talented plants women. Predecease d by her husband Edwin and sister Nettie Harman, she is survived by her sister Louise Emmonds.

OBITUARIES

LOADMAN, Rita Ellen (nee Lathey) December 12,1931 December 30, 2012

With love and contentment in our hearts, our mother passed away peacefully in her home on December 30, 2012 at the age of 81 years. Rita was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and in childhood relocated with her parents many times which afforded her the opportunity to foster relationships with school mates as well as enjoy solitary hobbies and interests. As a young woman, Rita worked as a legal secretary. Rita returned to this occupation after her children were grown and her typing speed remained swift and errorless well into her 70's! Our parents were married Feb 12, 1955 and their enviable partnership lasted until our father's death on December 10, 2008. Rita was a loving wife and tireless, devoted mother to 4 children. Staying home to raise her children was our mother's delight. Every day was special and special days were predictably exceptional because of the way Rita created traditions around how we spent our birthdays and holidays. Our father was an equally active parent and summers were spent taking family car trips to Mara Lake to camp, swim and fish. Rita enjoyed cooking and entertaining in her home. She enjoyed and honoured the friends and guests to her home by how thoughtfully she entertained them. Rita and our father enjoyed their retirement in White Rock, BC where dear friends were made or enriched through their Hiking Group, Bridge Club, Book Club, dinner parties and get-togethers. Rita's travel destination highlights include Africa and Asia, but her most cherished moments remained those of walking hand-in-hand with our father on the White Rock pier, along the shoreline of Crescent Beach or through the urban forest. Rita is fondly loved and remembered by her 2 sons Ian Gordon and Bruce Alexander, 2 daughters Amy Alison and Martha Anne and daughter-in-law Fiona Miller, as well as numerous friends in White Rock and Edmonton. Also remembered by brother-in-law Donald Loadman, his wife Cathern and their family. Cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will occur in the Spring to honour Rita's life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Edmonton Humane Society/SPCA (edmontonhumanesociety.com) 13620-163 St., Edmonton, Alberta T5V 0B2. Special thanks to the Edmonton Palliative Home Care Team, Jalene and Paulette most especially for their demonstration of gentle kindness, respect and compassion for our mother at the end of her well-lived, long life.

what’s

your sign

Jan. 8 - Jan 12, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

You are feeling a bit sensitive and will have to work hard to control your emotions. This may all be the result of an accumulation of fatigue.

You are able to look ahead, toward the long term. You feel like getting your financial situation organized. You will find all the right specialists for the solutions you need.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Take your time to establish a clear understanding at work or elsewhere. There is a lot of excitement in the air, and a little vacation could be a possibility.

This is a dynamic time for you, and you come up with lots of ideas for new professional and personal projects. There is plenty of inspiration on the horizon.

APARTMENT/CONDO

SAGITTARIUS

There is a lot of work to catch up on at the office. If you're looking for work, you will find a dream job that has great prospects.

CANCER You work hard to be noticed, but you'll need a bit of patience in order to succeed. Fortunately, you'll be remembered for a long time after this.

LEO

It might take more than one cup of coffee to get you going at work. You are capable of accomplishing some great exploits once you have some good people around you.

CAPRICORN Trust that time is on your side. If you're suffering from a cold, give yourself a few days of rest in order to recuperate completely.

AQUARIUS

You are tempted to develop your own home-based business. You'll set up an efficient office in your home. You will also think about moving.

VIRGO

You have to shoulder some big responsibilities but it could also mean a promotion at work. You'll need a few days to adapt.

PISCES

You are happy to drive around in a new car in the New Year. You will hear about a good real estate deal.
