Coleman chides city

2 a.m. vote split 5-4

Casino project a bust

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

After two marathon sessions, Surrey council has jettisoned a plan to build a casino in South Surrey. Over two nights of public hearings, those for and against spoke to council for 11 hours. Those in favour expressed the need for jobs, local entertainment and keeping dollars in the local economy. Those opposed said the $100-million complex would bring crime, traffic snarls and social problems, such as gambling addiction. The entertainment complex was to include a 60,000-sq.-ft. gaming area, 200-room hotel, theatre and a 27,000-sq.-ft. convention and entertainment centre on an 18-acre parcel of land at 10 Avenue and 168 Street. The casino promised to bring in $3 million in revenue each year for Surrey as the host city. Following Monday’s meeting, speakers began anew Friday at 7 p.m. and went until 2 a.m. Saturday. At that point, opponents were out of speakers, and the 30 remaining pro-casino speakers stood down, indicating their mes-

Bruce Hayne spoke first and said economic growth is important to him, as well as recognizing the need for convention and hotel space. However, he couldn’t bring himself to vote in favour of the project. “I have heard very clearly… the community is very opposed to this facility,” Hayne said. “I really believe this facility is in the wrong location.”

Supporting the project, Coun. Linda Hepner said she recognizes there are significant issues around problem gamblers, but that “I do believe that a transfer from Newton to this site is more palatable.” Coun. Judy Villeneuve said she wouldn’t support the project. “I think the people who have raised the social issues deserve a vote on this council,” she said. Coun. Mary Martin said she

didn’t support the rezoning to casino use in 2010 – “and nothing has been said to change my mind in the last couple of nights.” Coun. Barbara Steele, voting in favour, said she believes the South Surrey site is a good location, and noted Surrey needs more convention space. She also thinks the money Surrey would receive as host municipality is significant. › see page 2

Reaction to the City of Surrey’s decision on the proposed casino/ entertainment complex from Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister responsible for gaming, was a swift thumbs-down. Coleman told Vancouver media Saturday he was disappointed with the vote and said proponent BC Lottery Corporation wouldn’t “waste time and money” proposing another gambling Rich Coleman complex in gaming minister Surrey, adding it wouldn’t have any confidence in council’s process. He suggested that other areas, including First Nations communities that had expressed interest, would be more likely to be investigated as potential sites for such a complex in future. But Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon – a member of Coleman’s caucus – said Monday he felt that while council members had faced a difficult issue, “they ultimately made the right decision with respect to what the community wanted.” “At the end of the day, government policy is that casinos should be located in areas where › see page 2

Provincial government promises $5-million payback

District dips into reserves to kick-start schools Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey School District is putting up $5 million of its own money to get the ball rolling on two long-awaited and much-needed new schools and two school expansions – with the hope that the provincial government will pay the cash back. The move to front the money, says longtime trustee Laurae McNally, is the first of its kind by a B.C. school board, but is necessary as homes continue to be built at a breakneck

pace and schools are busting at the seams in some Surrey neighbourhoods. “We owe it to our students and our parents to move quickly,” McNally said in presenting a motion to fellow trustees at Thursday night’s public board meeting, which passed unanimously. She said residents have been “incredibly frustrated” by school overcrowding and can’t understand why homes pop up continuously, while schools aren’t built until years later.

McNally said it’s no longer an option to wait for the provincial government to dole out capital budgets, as the process has become highly political and entirely unpredictable. Gone are the days when boards would submit a capital wish list in the fall and find out by February which were approved so they could start planning by spring. “For the last little bit, we’ve been in limbo. We don’t know when projects will be approved and we just continue to grow,” said McNally.

The $5 million will be used to hire architects to start the lengthy design process for new secondary schools in the swelling Clayton and Grandview neighbourhoods in northeast Cloverdale and South Surrey, respectively, as well as to plan two additions on Cloverdale and Grandview elementary schools. The four projects were Surrey’s highest priorities in the capital funding wish list submitted to the province last fall. › see page 3

Watts surprised by reaction Dianne Watts with the swing vote. “When I look at the components of this application, do we need them? Absolutely,” Watts said. “We need a hotel, we need a theatre, we need restaurants – and it’s all predicated on a casino.” “I was prepared to swallow that, even though I don’t want a casino, because those were elements that we needed.” She said she was surprised to see the number of people that turned out to the hearings and the passion they brought with them. “Fundamentally, is it the right thing to do, to take it from one community and force it into another that doesn’t want it?” Watts asked. “The answer to that question is no.”

› from page 1 “Three million dollars annually is nothing to sneeze at,” Steele said. Coun. Tom Gill said it’s impossible not to weigh in the amount of jobs promised as part of the development, as well as the host fee and property taxes, which he estimated would top $4 million annually. “I think we’ve done a good job of reviewing it, even though we have a differentiation on council, certainly I would be in favour of this application,” Gill said. Coun. Marvin Hunt did not speak but has always been opposed to any gaming application before council. That left council at a 4-4 tie, and Mayor

Coleman says site pre-zoned › from page 1 they are welcomed and supported – and if that’s not the case they ought not to be supported,” he said. “Ultimately, they listened to what the vast majority of Surrey residents had to say, and felt, about the project.” In his comments on Saturday, Coleman asserted that Surrey had already approved zoning for a casino at the South Surrey site, and that amenities of the proposal, such as the hotel and conference centre, had been included at Surrey’s request, only to be turned down by council. He also repeated the claim, widely reported early in the campaign for the casino, that Surrey would have received 10 per cent of the profits, or some $6 million per year. Gateway Casinos had since admitted that Surrey’s take from the proposed complex would be closer to the $3 million estimated by the city. The company acknowledged the $6 million potential annual benefit to the city – cited on Gateway’s website as an incentive for approving the new proposal – included revenues already received from

other gambling operations in Surrey, including Fraser Downs. In later comments Saturday, Coleman appeared to back off a little on his earlier critical stance on the city, noting that, while he was disappointed on Surrey’s behalf, B.C.’s gaming policy is not to force such a proposal on a community that doesn’t want it. He was unavailable for comment Monday. Watts, who noted zoning for gaming wasn’t already approved, told the Peace Arch News Monday that the land still sits at third reading, and that the original developer of the property made a commitment at the time of the land-use public hearing in January 2011 that a hotel and convention centre would proceed with or without a casino. “The architect stated it was not predicated on a casino license. The developer went on record that a casino would be the icing on the cake, that it wouldn’t be a deal breaker,” she said, noting the casino license is only one piece in determining the future of the site. Watts said council will await further proposals from the current owners.

Open host held by Epcor

Water mixer shares chlorination insight Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Of $11-12 million in upgrades proposed for White Rock’s water system, nearly half is earmarked to pay for chlorination that was mandated by Fraser Health. And while public input on the plans is currently being sought, officials with the city’s water supplier say chlorination is the one aspect that can’t be swayed by the comments. “The only thing that’s been decided is Fraser Health’s order that we must chlorinate by March 2016,” Epcor’s Tim le Riche told Peace Arch News during an open house on the utility’s Total Water Quality Management project Thursday at the White Rock Community Centre. At the same time, Epcor is confident its plan as a whole is the “most prudent, beneficial project for the people of White Rock,” in terms of ensuring the city’s water supply is

safe and sustainable, le Riche said. Epcor hosted the open house as part of the process it must follow in seeking approval from B.C.’s deputy comptroller of water rights for the work, which is also slated to include infrastructure upgrades, and boosts to storage and pumping capacity. While le Riche said the system upgrades would have come forward “at some point anyway,” the chlorination demand was triggered by contamination in 2010 that resulted in a boil-water advisory. About 55 people turned out Thursday to learn more about the plans. Le Riche said questions ranged from curiosity about the process, to “why now?” “Of course, there was some discussion about the rates,” he added. Epcor has proposed an annual rate increase of four per cent from 2014-2017. Donna Hulbert – a resident of White Rock

for 33 years – was among those who turned out Thursday to peruse the display boards and speak to Epcor and Fraser Health officials. She told Peace Arch News that while she hates the thought of more chlorination, she doesn’t expect to be able to taste the difference. The rate increase appears reasonable, she said. (For those concerned about tasting chlorine, Epcor’s director of quality assurance, Steve Craik, offered a simple tip: add a drop of lime to the glass.) Resident Shirley Jones described the presentation as “very nice, very informative.” Jones said she drinks bottled water but appreciates Epcor’s efforts to improve safety. “They’re addressing safety of water and that’s a big issue,” she said. Rick Ketcheson, a resident for just over a year, said he hasn’t taken a position that chlorination is bad but came to the open house to

ask what alternatives had been explored. “I’d rather find an alternative, but in the end, I’m not going to demonstrate in the street over it,” he said. From an urban landscaping perspective, Ketcheson wants Epcor to consider installing fountains at each reservoir where people can get source water. The window of opportunity to make official suggestions or voice concerns with Epcor’s application is limited, with a Jan. 25 deadline to register as an intervenor. Intervenors and other interested parties have until March 1 to make submissions. White Rock council is expected to hear before then about what would be involved if the city wanted to link to Metro Vancouver’s water supply. A motion by Coun. Helen Fathers to investigate the possibility was supported Jan. 14, following a presentation to council by Epcor officials.

New schools › from page 1 The two new high schools will provide relief for Earl Marriott (EMS), Lord Tweedsmuir (LTS), and Clayton Heights Secondary schools, which are all hundreds of students over capacity. EMS and LTS adopted extended-day schedules to accommodate their overflow, with junior and senior grades starting and finishing classes at different times. The elementary school expansions will ease the strain at Adams Road, near 182 Street and 68 Avenue, and Rosemary Heights (155 Street and 36 Avenue), which each have six portables. Clayton Heights Secondary has 10 portables, while EMS and LTS have eight apiece. The $5 million will be taken from the district’s capital reserve fund – money kept for emergencies and unpredictable costs. The board also used money from the reserve (currently sitting at $7.3 million) to help dodge a deficit two years ago. While fronting the cash for the current projects may appear somewhat risky, McNally said she is confident the province will step up. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, who has worked with McNally to try to find a solution to the school overcrowding problem, is confident Surrey will be reimbursed. “I don’t think there’s any risk,” said Hogg. “We’re trying to find a way to prevent us being another year behind (on new school planning).” Hogg received an email from B.C. Education Minister Don McRae Thursday (prior to the school board meeting) assuring that the province would provide written confirmation of reimbursement once the Surrey motion was passed. McCrae confirmed that stance Friday. “By practice, we’ve always reimbursed the districts and in the case of Surrey this would be no different,” he told Black Press. “I’m looking forward to addressing some of the growing needs for Surrey – it’s a great district.” Peter Johnston, principal at EMS, commended McNally and Hogg for thinking outside the box. “Any speeding up of the process would be fantastic. Earl Marriott is really overcrowded and seems to be coming more overcrowded each year, so the sooner a school is built in the Grandview area the better,” he said. About 1,000 new residents move to Surrey each month, and of those, 30 per cent are under age 19. – with files from Sarah Massah

One-day sentence for attack on family Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

In a fog

A couple of walkers brave the chilly weather for a walk Sunday in Crescent Beach, which was shrouded in a thick layer of fog. The unusual weather pattern has lingered over Metro Vancouver for days but is expected to disappear this week.

A 52-year-old U.S. citizen has pleaded guilty to one count of assault in connection with an “unusual” incident in which a mother and her two young sons were attacked while walking in White Rock. According to Surrey Provincial Court records, Richard Anthony Peltier entered the plea last Wednesday and was sentenced to one day in jail for the offence. Peltier had been in custody since Jan. 1, when police were alerted to the apparently random attack on the family as they walked in the 1400-block of 136 Street around 2:30 p.m. “She didn’t even see it coming,” White Rock RCMP Sgt. Manly Burleigh said of the 35-year-old victim. “He approached her from behind… pushed her to the ground, in the process also knocked over the three-year-old, attempted to take the stroller – I believe he was prevented from doing so – and thereafter tried to take the twoyear-old from the stroller.” Burleigh confirmed the incident Jan. 14, after an area resident called Peace Arch News. Burleigh lauded neighbours who, alerted by the woman’s screams, came to her aide and detained the assailant until police arrived. Burleigh said it is a mystery as to why the woman and her children were targeted. Peltier was initially charged with three counts of assault and one charge of theft under $5,000. A stay of proceedings was issued on all but the one count of assault. He was credited for time served and released.

An early-morning fire destroyed a machine shop and office building at Fraserview Cedar Products on 144 Street near 66 Avenue. The blaze was discovered around 1 a.m. Firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to a nearby sawmill and the Surrey School District mechanical facilities building. “Any time you have a large fire, everything surrounding it would have been in danger of sparks,” Surrey assistant fire chief Brian Woznikoski told CTV News. The buildings were destroyed. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but firefighters say they don’t believe it was suspicious or caused by sawmill dust.

editorial

They had their chance to speak

undits contemplating Surrey council’s decision early last Saturday to reject the South Surrey casino/entertainment complex agreed it could have gone either way. There was certainly no doubt that the city went to exhaustive – even record-breaking – lengths to hear all viewpoints. No matter which way the vote went, it would be disingenuous to suggest the people of Surrey were not consulted. You would have to have lived in a virtual vacuum not to have heard something, either for or against, about the proposal. And yet, now that the dust is clearing following Surrey’s decision not to grant a gaming licence, it appears such a vacuum exists – and that some are blissfully unaware of issues all around them. Where, under different circumstances, it might have been opponents of the project claiming they were kept out of the loop, it is those who support it who are now coming out of the woodwork. It begs the question of where they were in the weeks preceding the licensing hearing, during which time the pros and cons of the proposal were debated extensively at public meetings and discussed in all local media. One might excuse residents of being unaware of city-hall procedures or of missing the original public hearing on land use for the property. But once the casino proposal became a media controversy, it should have been hard to miss. That would have been time for latter-day advocates to weigh in. Yet, aside from the support of three vocal Surrey business groups and the lobbying of Gateway Casinos supporters – contemptuously dismissed as “rent-a-crowds” by casino opponents – public expressions of support for the project were few and far between. Perhaps some of the post-vote reaction could be put down to the loss of promised amenities – like a hotel, convention centre and theatre – riding on the coattails of the casino. To hear the sour-grapes comments of Rich Coleman, provincial minister responsible for gaming, who said he was “disappointed for Surrey,” it would appear the door has been closed in perpetuity. But has it? Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says the original land-use application has been sitting at third reading for two years. The original developer was on record at that time as saying the hotel and convention centre components did not depend on the casino licence. Perhaps those who now bemoan the loss of a casino might want to put more positive effort into encouraging some kind of revival of the original development plan.

It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of lowfrequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t. Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell-tower and smart-meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president. Then there’s “entrepreneur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the BC Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desperate bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing. There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

Still a fan but won’t pay price Editor: Re: Support those hurt most by NHL lockout, Jan. 15 editorial. So, the NHL players and owners have finally agreed. Big deal. How many people have they hurt with their never-ending greed? I am an avid hockey fan, but enough is enough. No one needed to bear any hockey withdrawals, since there are other, not just NHL teams, in Canada. Many followed the Giants and other Western Hockey League teams. Over the holidays there was the Spengler Cup in Switzerland with Cory Schneider defending the Ambri Piotta net. There were the World Junior Championships in Russia, proudly featuring Ryan NugentHopkins as Canadian captain. All most entertaining. It will be long time before I will buy another NHL hockey ticket. As suggested in the PAN editorial, fans should go to the local pubs and watch the games. As always, Go Canucks Go! Gerda Barwieck, Surrey

It is stunning to hear a chlorinated system is accepted as the only option. This is simply not true. Why can’t we have the system we had before Aug. 19, 2010? It never let us down before – and it didn’t then either. What did let us down was shoddy maintenance. I can’t believe Epcor had much objection to Fraser Health’s demands. After all, chlorination is a simple solution, a cheap way to purify water and reduces manpower needs for inspections and testing. If we don’t question this plan, we will all be drinking chlorinated water very soon, and you will all notice it. We may have just witnessed the fixing of something that, frankly, other than for one small minimally impactful incident, was not broken! Michael King, White Rock

Trying not to take for granted

Editor: So many thanks to the wonderful lady and older couple who stopped to assist me when my friend tumbled backwards in his wheelchair. We were in the parking lot of the White Rock Medical Clinic and he was lying on the cold, wet pavement, unable to get back into his chair. Unfortunately, they all left before we could thank them properly. This is a wonderful place we live in. Since he has been in a chair, I have witnessed many acts of kindness. I truly hope I always acknowledge them but realize there are many

Cover-up necessary Editor: Coal trains are required to have a permanent cover to stop coal dust from polluting adjacent properties. Why are trains from U.S. passing through White Rock exempt? It’s a small step in the coal-port issue but can have an immediate impact on keeping our Peninsula pristine. Paul Hough, Surrey

Michael King

No ‘fix’ needed for pure water Editor: Re: Water upgrades on way, Jan. 1. It seems inevitable that, after 70 years, we will all be very soon drinking and bathing in chlorinetreated water. After 70 years – during which time there was never one single boilwater advisory issued – on Aug. 19, 2010, one sample that just met the minimum limit for investigation ultimately led to Fraser Health dictating that chlorinating the entire supply was the answer. Talk about overkill and knee-jerk response. Only the Merklin high reservoir was found to be affected by what was determined to be caused by a leaking hatch where a seal had deteriorated to the point where pigeon droppings had most probably leaked through. Man has been chlorinating water since the 1860s. It is the cheapest way of treating water but it also carries inherent health risks, as it is known to cause cancer in study after study, exacerbates asthma and skin conditions and – despite what Fraser Health and Epcor say – the fact is that it will be a sad ending to a pristine water supply that has been faultless for almost 70 years, and we will all be poorer for it both financially and health-wise. There are few places left anywhere these days that do not have chlorinated water supplies. We were proud, healthy and happy to be one of those places that enjoyed this gift. I have been subjected to the chlorine since 2011 and, believe me, I notice it everyday. The citizens of White Rock should ask why Fraser Health and Epcor have been allowed to dictate how our water should be treated based on one minor incident that resulted in no illnesses to any one person.

Anti-casino speakers line up in council chambers awaiting their turn, alternating with speakers from the pro- side.

No way to encourage democracy An open letter to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and council. I do not understand why the Jan. 14 public hearing on the proposed casino was so disorganised and archaic. You knew, approximately, how many speakers there would be and that they would speak for three to five minutes each. If basic mathematics was worked out, breakfast should have been served up! At the beginning of the evening, you easily could have said that you will handle 30 speakers from each side and the rest would speak on Friday. Don’t tell me this has worked for 25 years and therefore last night should have been no problem. Give me a break. Times change, meetings vary, progress happens. We asked city council three times for a change of venue, to either the Pacific Inn, Bell Centre or Sheraton Hotel, where parking would not be a problem. “No way,” was your answer. Your reply was that the first to come would be the first in line, and that you will do it the way you have been conducting meetings for the past 25 years. We know of a few Surrey residents who parked their vehicles in the underground parking and were not able to retrieve their vehicles when they wanted to leave that night. The gate was down and locked at 8 p.m. You could have organized security to remain at the parking areas till everyone retrieved their cars safely. There were many residents in the foyer, who had nowhere to sit while they waited for their turn to speak. Students wanting to speak were still hanging around at 1 a.m. waiting for information. These students were meant to be at school in the early morning to sit exams. Gateway employees grabbed most of the seating areas in the foyer to enjoy their ‘donated’ dinners and did not

show any respect – by their continuous chatting – to other residents who were trying to hear the televised public hearing. The sound was dreadful. In council chambers, awaiting speakers stood, leaning against the wall, for hours. Chairs should be provided, all along each side, so that speakers don’t become exhausted while waiting for their turn. Many were elderly, and it was inconsiderate to expect them to stand for hours. This is no way to encourage citizens to participate in public debate, but rather puts people off, as it becomes an endurance test, rather than a practice in democracy. Michael Pohlmann, Surrey

Casino groundswell not news Editor: Re: City doubles down on casino hearings, Jan. 17. I would like to make a clarification regarding news stories of the Jan. 14 public meeting on the Surrey casino proposal held at Surrey City Hall. News reports indicated a majority in favour of the proposal in attendance. This should have been expected as Gateway showed up with their usual group of offduty staff, and the majority of speakers in favour of the proposal were made up of paid consultants, business partners, casino staff and BC Lottery Corporation staff – all with a vested interest should the proposal pass. The speakers opposed to the project, the residents who live in the community – 93 per cent of whom do not want a casino – came not for any financial gain, but to try to preserve the integrity of their neighbourhood.

Surrey man arrested in Maple Ridge

Two police cars rammed Monisha Martins Black Press

A Surrey man was arrested by police early Sunday in Maple Ridge after two police cars were rammed by two separate stolen vans. The incident began around midnight when Ridge Meadows RCMP found a stolen van on Eagle Avenue. An officer in an unmarked police car followed the van to Cherrywood Drive, when without warning the driver reversed the

van into the police car. Police allege the man drove to the end of the cul-de-sac where he abandoned the van and stole a second van in an attempt to flee. While trying to escape, the driver crashed the second van into a another police cruiser, causing the van to flip onto its side. The 31-year-old man from Surrey was arrested following the crash. RCMP also fired on the vehicle to stop his escape. Ridge Meadows and Coquitlam RCMP Serious Crimes units and

the Independent Investigations Office are investigating the incident. Supt. Dave Walsh stressed that at no time were police involved in a pursuit. “During the incident a police officer discharged his service pistol. The suspect was not injured due to the discharge of the police firearm but did sustain minor injuries in the crashes,” Walsh added. The man was treated in hospital and remains in police custody.

Crisis line helps those in need

A voice at the end of the line Boaz Joseph

Black Press

hesitant, warbled voice greets Teddy. The elderly speaker sounds somewhat confused and frightened. She laments that a good friend has gone out in poor weather and she fears for his safety. Teddy focuses on the call, reassuring the caller that she’s being listened to. The caller suddenly veers course and begins to talk about other people she has lost in the past. The conversation continues for several minutes. With a steady voice, Teddy offers empathy, encouragement and, after a few minutes, begins to brainstorm with the caller. What are her options for the day? The tension eases. “Have a good day, OK?” the caller tells Teddy before hanging up. It’s a regular caller, Teddy says, leaning back in a chair at the Surrey-based Fraser Health Crisis Line. She’s called about once a week for each of the 15 months that Teddy has volunteered. “A lot of our regular callers like to call in to let us know about their day.” That’s not a problem; it’s actually welcome. “Here, people don’t have to fight to make you understand what they’re going through,” Teddy explains. Callers often find that trying to express feelings is frustrating – even overwhelming. Together, the callers and call-takers come up with possible options or next steps. Although there’s no typical type of call, volunteers have been trained to help in most crises – regardless of what the caller might think is a crisis. It might be a chronic problem, such as a mental illness, or a spontaneous event, such as the loss of a pet or an unexpected medical diagnosis. A sudden crisis might provoke a caller’s urge to relapse into a previous addiction. Sometimes, they call for a referral. Often, they are isolated and just want to talk. “We’ve been told previously by other services that for some of those callers, the crisis line is the only other human voice they’ve heard all week,” says crisis-line practice leader Jackie Yurick. “So in terms of their unbelievable isolation and aloneness,

incoming crisis lines. More volunteers are always needed. The goal is to always have a minimum of two people on the phones – as many as four or five in the evenings. Covering the entire Fraser Health region has meant more incoming calls, about 36,000 per year. Another call comes in to Teddy’s phone, and a blinking light indicates it’s from the provincial suicide hotline. As Teddy listens in, the caller talks about her neighbours, her declining health and general malaise. “I start to feel lost, scared,” she says. Again, Teddy and the caller discuss options that the caller has talked about: food, friends, rest… “I feel so much better trying to explain this,” the caller says at one point. The caller says she wants to give back for the care she’s received from her friends, and there’s soon a brighter tone in her voice. “Thank you so much for listening,” the caller says before hanging up. “We’re here to be supportive, we’re not here to be superheroes,” says Teddy. “We’re here to help callers empower themselves, to be their own heroes.” If you are interested in volunteering, visit www.options.bc.ca The Fraser Health Crisis Line can be reached 24 hours a day at 604-951-8855 or toll-free 1-877-820-7444.

White Rock recognizes long-serving employees

City staff, firefighters honoured City of White Rock officials recognized dozens of employees for long service and excellence last week, during a staff appreciation event at the White Rock Community Centre. The Jan. 11 ceremony also included the presentation of federal Fire Services Exemplary Service medals and B.C. Long Service medals to eight career and auxiliary firefighters. Deputy fire Chief Bob Schlase was cited for 30 years of service; Capts. Steve Block and Dale Orser, along with firefighter Mike Stark were congratulated for 25 years of service; and Capt. Ed

Wolfe, firefighters James Davison and Scott Hamilton and auxiliary firefighter Darren Phillips were noted for 20 years of service. Fire Chief Phil Lemire noted the medals are not necessarily specific to the firefighters’ years in White Rock, and may, in the case of career firefighters, include time served on auxiliary crews. City long-service awards went to Ian Pither (30 years); Dale Orser (25 years); Janna Nicholson (20 years); Paula Almeida, Bonne Hardeo, David Jacobs, Genik Lankowski and Chris Smith (15 years); and Jenine Kalil, Ying Lin, Dianne

Beware – laziness and lack of motivation can scuttle healthy resolutions

New year is time for a new healthy outlook Sheila Reynolds & Evan Seal

Black Press

t’s a new year, and now it’s time for a new lifestyle. Black Press has partnered with Kin’s Farm Market to launch the Green Fighters Challenge in 13 communities in the Lower Mainland, which will follow participants over several months as they change their life and get healthy. One person will be chosen from each participating community to make a change and win prizes. The grand prize will be a cruise for two from Cruise Experts. It will be awarded at the end of the 13-week contest. However, one Green Fighter will win a prize each week during weekly challenges. But it’s not just the participants who will be able to win. Canadian Tire will provide prizes for readers as well as the challengers as part of their commitment to healthy living, and you are encouraged to check out the Green Fighters website to follow the participants’ progress and share your thoughts about how you are eating better and getting fit yourself for 2013.

classroom, the chemical engineering student is looking to make some changes in his life. “While going to school full time, I didn’t have time to exercise,” said Duenas. “I’ve made it my New Year’s resolution to get out there and try new things.” The 23-year-old, who was cooling down after a short workout at Bear Creek Park in Surrey, also wants to rev up his social life. “I’ve been sitting in class far too long, so I just signed up for jiujitsu (a Japanese martial art) and ballroom dancing,” Duenas said. “I hope to meet new people outside the classroom.” For Sukhmani Pannu, also 23, getting in shape and staying in shape has become her goal for this year. She has already made some changes to the way she eats. “I found that I used to have a meal around 6:30 or 7 p.m. every night, but now I eat earlier, around 5 p.m. and then have a small salad.” The strategy seems to be working, Pannu said, as she’s already dropped 20 pounds. A recent poll of Lower Mainland residents, however, shows Duenas and Pannu may be in the minority. Results of an Ipsos Reid survey › see page 16

Motivation, time key to getting fit › from page 15 (commissioned by Fitness Town Surrey) released last month indicate just 14 per cent of people actually made New Year’s fitnessrelated resolutions last year. And of those who did, about two-thirds stuck to them. Those who abandoned their healthy plans listed lack of motivation, laziness, and lack of time as their top reasons for abandoning their good intentions. When asked what would motivate them to continue with keepfit resolutions, survey respondents said having more time would help, as would personal support from a trainer or nutritionist, or having someone to work out with. Others people said more money – to buy equipment or for a gym membership – might prompt them to exercise, as would a better schedule (such as a more flexible work timetable) or having a regular schedule or fitness program created for them. When asked how

dulged, 63 per cent said they felt guilty about it. Other figures indicated the holiday season and its overabundance of turkey dinners and desserts have had a clear impact on the urge to get back on a healthy path. Fifty-five per cent of those polled said they were inspired to get fit right before the holidays, an impulse that dropped by about 11 per cent during the holidays. However, more than 73 per cent of respondents said they were wanted to get fit right after the holiday season. For Pannu, it doesn’t matter what the statistics show, she said she just wants to get healthy – and look good. “I want to be a fitness trainer, so I need to have a six-pack,” she said, laughing.

Surrey falls out of first-place after taking just one of four points

Eagles tie, lose to West Kelowna day game against the Chiefs slated for Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre. On Saturday, Surrey hosts the Langley Rivermen and Sunday, the Salmon Arm Silverbacks make their lone trip to the Peninsula for a 4 p.m. puck drop.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles fell from their perch atop the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division after collecting just one of a possible four points in a weekend home-and-home series with the West Kelowna Warriors. The fall from first wasn’t a big drop – they trail the Chilliwack Chiefs by just a single point – but the tie and the loss marked the first since midDecember the team did not win at least once on a weekend. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles and Warriors played to a 3-3 tie after neither team could score in overtime or double-OT, and a day later in Kelowna, the Warriors edged the visiting Birds 5-3. Brady Shaw scored twice for the Eagles Friday, and the team had a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes – captain Brett Mulcahy opened the scoring with 21 seconds left in the first period, poking a loose puck past West Kelowna netminder Tyler Briggs after Kevin Kilistoff ’s original shot hit the post. Midway through the second period, Shaw made it 2-0 on a wraparound goal. The Warriors won the third, however, getting goals from Matt Anholt, Marcus Basara – on the power play – and Reid Simmons, whose game-tying goal came with just over five minutes left in the game. The Eagles carried the play for much of both overtime frames – Mulcahy and Adam Tambellini each had scoring chances, and Surrey had a power play, too, that failed to click.

Surrey Eagles blue-liner Devon Toews scored once Saturday. Surrey’s power play struggled the entire game, going 0-for-6 with the man advantage. “In a home-and-home against a quality team like West Kelown, you kind of look for at least a split, and up two goals at home, we kind of gave away a point there,” Eagles coach Matt Erhart said. The following night at Kelowna’s Royal LePage Place was a similarly close game, with both teams trading goals in the opening period, as Devon Toews and Trevor Cameron – on the power play – scored for Surrey, and Ben Tegtmeyer and Max French replied for the home team. In the second, the Eagles’ power play struck again when

Michael Stenerson gave the visitors the lead, but later in the period, West Kelowna’s Brennan Clark and Seb Lloyd scored 57 seconds apart to go up by one. Well-travelled defenceman Josh Monk – a former Eagle who is on his fourth BCHL team – scored an insurance goal in the third to ice the game for the Warriors. “You can’t give up five goals on the road and expect to win,” Erhart said. “You take the losses hard, but big picture, our last 10 games, we’re pretty happy with.” This weekend, the Eagles will have the opportunity to reclaim their spot atop the Mainland Division, with a Fri-

Two more Eagles have signed NCAA scholarship agreements, as captain Brett Mulcahy committed to Holy Cross and Drew Best to the University of Vermont last week. Mulcahy, 19, is in the midst of a career year with the Eagles, with 11 goals and 30 points in 38 games. “I’m very excited,” said Mulcahy. “It’s something I’ve been working towards my whole life. I couldn’t be happier to go to a great school like Holy Cross. They’re second to none in terms of their academic excellence, and I think it will be an excellent fit.” Meanwhile, Best – a BCHL rookie from Plymouth, Mich. – has 12 goals and 32 points this season. “He’s a really good offensive player, but I think he’s really learned both sides of the game in the first half of the season. He’s been very responsible defensively, and at the same time, he has put up 30 points already, which is impressive for the first half of his rookie season. “It’s nice to see him get rewarded for all the hard work that he’s put in this year.” Mulcahy and Best bring to nine the number of Eagles to commit to the NCAA.

LIBRA

Aries, patience and calm is the way out of a tricky situation. You also may want to keep your opinions to yourself until everything gets settled, which shouldn't take long.

Libra, you will likely find yourself in a domestic groove over the next few days. Use the time to get creative in the kitchen, straighten up the abode and do some decorating.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, though you may be pinching pennies that doesn't mean you cannot make a purchase that will benefit the household. Make a budget so you'll learn how to spend wisely.

Scorpio, don't allow your emotions to get the best of you during a disagreement this week. Be sure to gather all of the facts before you form an opinion.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, it can be easy to get into a routine and then in a rut. Try switching up just one thing from your daily tasks, and it could provide a breath of fresh air.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Leo, take advantage of the many opportunities for you to meet new people and forge new friendships this week. You may just meet someone who changes your life.

KidSport and SMHA – and other Lower Mainland hockey associations, too – raise money every year to help cover registration costs, in whole or in part, so children can play sports. And on Feb. 2, SMHA will host Rock The Boat – an event Pella, who is vice-chair of the fundraiser, called “the association’s major fundraiser for the year.” Proceeds from the event are put towards keeping costs low for all players, while also helping out others like Brody, who currently plays in SMHA’s Hockey 4 division. The dinner/dance will be held at the Pacific Inn (1160 King George Blvd.) with doors opening at 7 p.m. In addition to dinner, drinks and dancing, Rock the Boat will also include a silent and live auction. For more information on the Rock the Boat fundraiser, or to buy tickets, visit www. semihockey.ca and find the dinner/dance link under the “annual events” tab.
