Casino hearing ‘not a legal process’ ■ Minister justifies phone calls ■ Premier supports Coleman ■ Mayor slams head of BCLC ■ ‘Pro’ councillors defend vote Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister responsible for gaming, responds to criticisms that he called councillors during a public-hearing process.

Rich Coleman, BC Liberal minister responsible for gaming, says the hearing conducted by Surrey into the Gateway Casinos project’s gaming licence was not a public hearing in a strict sense and had no legal process around it. Coleman, still facing a chorus of disapproval – including jabs from the NDP, BC Conservatives and online commenters – over perceived interference in the failed proposal, which he had supported, said Monday that it was time to move on. “At the end of it, there may have been some things said emotionally by some folks who worked on both sides of this thing, and people just have to let it settle down,” he said. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts acknowledged Monday that the hearing was a public information meeting in the form of a public hearing, and not subject to the same legislated legal strictures as a land-use public hearing. But because it functioned in the same way in providing public input for the decision, outside intervention should have been avoided “out of respect for the entire process,” she said. “When you’re the regulator, there’s a fine line to walk,” she said. “People have to be very careful in making sure it’s an open and transparent process.” › see page 4

Police are investigating another suspicious death after the body of a man was found near a ditch in South Surrey. The discovery was made around 9:30 a.m. Monday, in the 12300block of Colebrook Road, just north of Highway 99. Cpl. Adam MacIntosh, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation

Team (IHIT), confirmed the unit has taken custody of the case, but said he had no more information at Peace Arch News press time Monday afternoon. It was unclear if the victim found Monday was targeted. “We are in the early stages of this investigation and we are working to find out if this latest homicide is related to gang activity,” MacIntosh said.

BORDER GOLD CORP.

The killing is Surrey’s fifth in a month. Police have confirmed at least two of the previous deaths were gang-related. Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca To remain anonymous, log onto Crime Stoppers at solvecrime.ca or call 1-800-222-8477.

White Rock firefighters tend to a woman who was struck Thursday on Martin Drive.

Driver ‘just didn’t see her’

Pedestrian struck by SUV Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A 45-year-old White Rock woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Thursday, after she was struck by a vehicle as she crossed Martin Drive at 16 Avenue. The collision occurred at about 5 p.m. Jan. 24, as a dark blue Ford Escape was turning right off of 16 Avenue to head north on Martin. When police arrived, they found the woman lying on the road, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. White Rock firefighters arrived on the scene in short order and tended to the woman – who was conscious and talking – until paramedics arrived, just before 5:30 p.m.

White Rock

Witnesses told police the woman was crossing Martin Drive eastbound in the crosswalk on the north side of 16 Avenue when the collision occurred. Paquet said the driver, a 71-year-old Surrey man told officers “he just didn’t see her.” He remained at the scene, and has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with failing to yield for a pedestrian. It was dark and raining at the time of the collision, and Paquet said the incident is a reminder to drivers and pedestrians alike to take extra precautions on the road. “There’s a lot going on – give yourself an extra second to look everywhere before you make a manoeuvre,” he said. Pedestrians choosing to wear dark clothing in such weather need to “be aware that you’re not as visible,” he added.

White Rock man was director of engineering for Delta until child-pornography arrest

No prison time for 1973 indecent assault Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A former senior manager in the Municipality of Delta will not be going to prison for an indecent assault that took place in Manitoba in 1973. Cleo Faus (Kip) Gaudry was handed an 18-month conditional sentence on Thursday in Vancouver Supreme Court – a sentence similar to parole, with conditions that he must abide by to avoid jail. Gaudry, 61, pleaded guilty to the charge last May. When he was arrested in 2010 – not long after moving to White Rock

– Winnipeg Police Service said the charge concerned “a historic sexual assault involving a child.” The Manitoba court file listed the matter as a “domestic violence” case. This is the third sex-crime conviction for Gaudry, who was hired by Delta in 2001 and rose through the ranks to director of engineering until 2009. He quit that year after police searched his office and home in North Delta as part of a child-pornography investigation. He pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and was sentenced in January 2011 to 18 months in jail and

three years probation. The judge said much of Gaudry’s “horrible” collection of thousands of images and movies involved extremely young children being abused by adult men. Gaudry’s first prison term came after a guilty plea in 1995 to nine counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced to 3½ years in jail. The crimes were committed while Gaudry was working for the District of Houston, a small community in northern B.C. At the time, a Houston newspaper reported the RCMP as saying some of the charges involved young people, but details remain under a court-ordered ban on

publishing any information that could identify a victim. During sentencing for the subsequent child-pornography possession charge in 2011, the court heard that Gaudry was accessing the online porn within 18 months of serving his first sentence. Thursday’s sentence on the historic 1973 assault includes a 10-year prohibition on being anywhere children may frequent, such as community centres, daycares and public swimming pools. He is also banned from possessing firearms for 10 years and must submit a DNA sample. - with files from Dan Ferguson

Woman airlifted

Serious injuries in 3-car crash Tracy Holmes Black Press

Wet roads and speed are being cited as factors in a three-vehicle crash on Crescent Road that sent one woman to hospital by air ambulance Friday. The collision occurred just before 4:30 p.m. in the 13400-block of Crescent Road, when the driver of a westbound Jaguar lost control on a curve. The Jaguar sideswiped an eastbound Ford Escape, then spun head-on into an oncoming Mazda. “That collision caused minor injuries to the driver and passenger of the Jaguar and serious but non-life-threatening (injuries) to the driver of the Mazda,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. The Mazda driver, a 42-year-old Langley woman, was airlifted from the parking lot of nearby Elgin Heritage Park. Officers with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service attended. Paquet said charges are pending against the Jaguar driver, an 18-year-old Surrey man.

Warm spell gives shelter volunteers a breather

Taking a break from the cold winter weather Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

With rain and warmer temperatures forecast through next Sunday, volunteers who’ve been manning the floor at White Rock’s extreme-weather shelter are looking forward to a bit of break. “Time to catch our breath,” Dick Avison said good-heartedly last week. “We’ve been having some nights with as many as eight people there.” Avison has co-ordinated the local shelter – located at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. – for the past five years. Its 15 beds opened this season on Nov. 10, and offered an escape from the cold for a total of five days that month. And while the number of people accessing the beds per night hasn’t hit the high of 11

that the shelter saw last season, Avison said this season has been unique in the sense that it has included two 14-day open stretches – the most recent of which ended at 7 a.m. last Wednesday. The earlier run ended on Dec. 26, with the numbers dwindling down to two or three people per night just before Christmas. Avison said about half of the people who use the shelter during the cold spells – it typically opens if temperatures hit zero degrees or colder, but can be opened in the event of strong winds, snow or stretches of heavy rain – are familiar faces. Some others are seen for one or two nights and then never again. “There’s no way to know why,” he said. “People come and go.” The trend has been similar at other shelters, Avison said, noting representatives

meet monthly, and information is shared on a weekly basis. “It’s been both a long season, with regular usage, all season long,” he said. “That’s

what people are saying, throughout Surrey particularly. The stretches have been long everywhere. There’s minor variations as to who opens when.” Earlier this month, the co-ordinator of the Metro Vancouver Extreme Weather Response Program assured there is plenty of room in such shelters for those who need it. No one has been turned away, James Pratt said. Metro Vancouver has a total of 1,600 shelter beds – 1,295 year-round ones plus 304 seasonal ones that run all winter and then up to 650 extra spaces that can be opened as extreme-weather beds.

Councillors ‘acted in good faith’ › from page 4 “The government is both the owner of the corporation and the regulator.” But Clark also upheld Surrey’s right to refuse the casino. “The City of Surrey made its decision and it was obviously, absolutely the right decision for them. They’re politicians like the rest of us, and they need to make tough decisions sometimes.” Coleman’s prepared statement was different in tone to his original comments to Vancouver media, in which he had said he and the BCLC had lost confidence in Surrey council and their decision-making process. Headlined “Surrey gaming decision proves process works,” the release said the minister wanted to express his “appreciation for the time and thoughtfulness Surrey city council and the community as a whole took to examine the merits of the… proposal and to be clear that I respect the final decision. “We have never put a casino in any community that has not wanted one. That will continue to be the provincial government’s policy.” That same day, Watts lashed back at Coleman and Graydon.

Vehicle levies will fail to gain traction

ayors are once again calling for a vehicle levy to help fund TransLink. While their intention is to get some clear idea where provincial parties stand on TransLink funding before the May provincial election, which makes a lot of sense, the vehicle levy is a complete non-starter on this side of the Fraser River. Opposition to it has been most intense in Surrey and Langley every time the proposition has come up in the past 15 years. There is no reason to believe that drivers here will be any more accepting this time. In fact, there are even more reasons to oppose it in 2013. There is now a toll on the Port Mann Bridge, parking levies have been put on park-and-ride lots, and transit service has not improved a great deal, if at all. Gas taxes have risen dramatically, causing many people to cross the border to buy gas and do other shopping. This has had a serious impact on retail business in communities south of the Fraser, which are close to the CanadaU.S. border. The answer to TransLink’s funding woes does not lie in a vehicle levy. A 2009 proposal suggested such a levy would cost vehicle owners $120 per year, per vehicle. NDP leader Adrian Dix has already said he does not expect the carbon tax to remain revenue-neutral if his party is elected, and has suggested that some of its proceeds could go towards transit. This is a sensible solution, given that it is a tax collected on fuel. Several mayors have suggested road pricing, which would even out the costs paid by motorists in the region and would see those who drive the most pay the most. This makes much more sense than a vehicle tax, which penalizes those who don’t drive much. In Surrey and Langley, it is difficult to get around without a vehicle, and some people own a car simply to run errands and make short trips because they have no alternative. There is no question that transit service needs to improve dramatically south of the Fraser, and TransLink needs extra revenue to make that happen. Provincial parties need to make it clear in the next few months where that money will come from. A vehicle levy should not be considered until such a time as transit service here is a true alternative to owning a vehicle.

have been bullied by this bad drama, since Bill Vander Zalm decided an industrial union bargaining structure was just the ticket for public schools. Students are taught by example, if not by blatant propaganda in classrooms, that all problems are solved by demanding more money from the government. After this conditioning, older students are sometimes pressed into service as union pickets. There’s your Social Justice class, kids. Sorry about those sports teams and field trips, but we need those as bargaining chips to get more paid leave time. To state the obvious, Clark and McRae staged this as a pre-election event to frame the issue. They knew their effort would be greeted as a declaration of war. The main reason the BCTF agreed to a contract extension with a wage freeze last year? It wasn’t the blindingly obvious fact that every other public sector union had already taken two zeroes. It was strictly tactics. The delay sets up the latest rematch of these old warriors in the spring election. The plan is to get the dreaded BC Liberals out and then start working over the weaker, more union-dependent NDP. That’s who caved in earlier and gave the BCTF broad control over staffing levels, the proverbial key to the treasury. Along with basic math and economics, a point the BCTF seems unable to grasp is that its strategy is self-defeating. Those sad kids are making more and more parents seek a better deal.

Assault story raises queries Editor: Re: One-day sentence for attack on family, Jan. 22. The missing information not in your story of the assault on the young mother and children has caused alarm and concern. Richard Anthony Peltier was convicted after an unprovoked assault on a young mother with two children at 2:30 in the afternoon! Why is it a mystery why he did it? Did he not have a psychiatric evaluation while in custody? Was he on drugs? Was he released back into our community or deported to the U.S.? Are we at risk of another unprovoked attack? Why was he only charged with one count of assault? As reported, this was an unprovoked attack on three people. Why did he attempt to remove the two-year-old from the stroller? Attempted abduction? The timing of this story also concerns me. If Peace Arch News had not received information from a resident, would there have been any notice of this New Year’s Day assault? I expected PAN would have direct connection with local police to timely report on crimes affecting the community. P. Allan, Surrey

Too few voice water concerns Editor: Re: Too willing to go with flow, Jan. 15 letters. Thank you, Sheila Hunter-Tubic, for your well-researched letter. The questions you raise over White Rock’s water need to be answered. Why is Coun. Helen Fathers once again the only one honouring the public trust in calling for the whole matter to be investigated? We have a pitiful council who seems only able to follow the status quo. Fathers deserves congratulations for her courage to stand up for the beleaguered citizens of White Rock. L. Bjorknas, White Rock

It’s our money, not the district’s Editor: Re: District dips into reserves to kick-start schools, Jan. 22. It is unclear if it was the Surrey school board or Peace Arch News who came up with the statement in this story that the school board is “putting up $5 million of its own money,” but the fact is this money is the taxpayers’ money, collected from we the taxpayer over the years, and not the board’s. I have no problem with the plan to build more schools where needed, but we need to always remember where that money came from. But what is especially disturbing about this story is where this

$5 million is to be spent – to hire architects! Give me, and all taxpayers, a break. The board has built several schools in the past few years. What is wrong with using those same plans, already paid for, to build the new schools and put the $5 million into the actual construction or equipping of them? Schools don’t need to be monuments to the school board, with each one built fancier, and more expensively, than the last. After all, a school is a school, and if the design has worked well for recently built structures, why not use those same plans to build more of them? If necessary, a few cosmetic changes could be made to give them a bit of uniqueness that wouldn’t

entail $5 million paid to architects. It’s high time elected officials at all levels learned to be better stewards and spend our tax dollars more efficiently and effectively. Don Campbell, Surrey

‘Dissidents’ still waiting Editor: John Cummins, leader of the BC Conservative Party continues to tell the media that the matter of the party-versus-dissidents – a phrase he coined – has been settled. On Dec. 6, Cummins, Ian Pyper

and two other dignitaries met and drafted a letter upon the instructions of Cummins. Said letter of reconciliation was to be presented to the board of directors of the BC Conservative Party. At time of writing, we are still waiting to be informed of the board’s reaction to this important document. Is there something Cummins is not telling us and the public? To the best of our knowledge, we have not been reinstated as members nor have we received an apology. So as far as we, the so-called dissidents are concerned, our day in court stands.

A second night of public hearings attracted a smaller but no-less-impassioned crowd to Surrey City Hall.

Public hearing made a difference Editor: Re: Casino project a bust, Jan. 22. Thank you, Mayor Dianne Watts, for having the courage to make the right choice when you cast the deciding vote on the South Surrey casino proposal. You continue to prove you are a true leader. Michael Graydon, BCLC CEO, acted like a spoiled child and poor loser when he stated “Surrey’s very difficult to deal with” and “We will pack our bags and move on,” (Anywhere-but-Surrey mandate, Jan. 24) Well, good riddance, Mr. Graydon. You obviously thought the casino was a done deal and didn’t consider for a moment that some councillors and the mayor just might listen to the residents and that the public-hearing process might be more than just a façade. Gaming minister Rich Coleman’s unprofessional interference in the process, by making personal calls to councillors and giving Surrey an ultimatum (Minister’s intervention ‘inappropriate,’ Jan. 24) showed the degree of dirty politics that the residents were up against. We are all busy, but if we are passionate about our neighbourhood issues and take the time to attend public hearings we can make a difference. Anna Dean, Surrey n As a resident of Surrey, I was thoroughly disappointed in the decision by mayor and council not to proceed with the proposed South Surrey entertainment complex. I was able to attend both nights of the public hearings and do not understand the rationale of the decision. In light of the comments made by gaming minister Rich Coleman, that Surrey would receive no other casino applications, I felt it prudent to voice my opinion and ask why the mayor and council voted against this project. In 2010, when rezoning was proposed, there was support for this plan. Now, in 2013, there is still support. The only difference now is there are a few ‘passionate and engaged’ residents who have come forward. If I heard correctly at the hearings, they mentioned they represented 5,000 residents who signed their petition. Of the 450,000-plus residents of Surrey, and 75,000-plus in

the area of South Surrey, 5,000 is less than 15 per cent of South Surrey and less than two per cent of Surrey. I refuse to believe that the mayor and council, who are responsible for the best interests of the entire city, succumbed to needs of the few, so I am confused as to what other reasons there were for rejecting this proposal. Of the 70-plus speakers against the project, the majority mentioned they were not opposed to the project, just this location. Some even mentioned this is not a case of NIMBYism, but they mentioned relocating the project to City Centre, Port Kells, and Scott Road. How can this not be viewed as NIMBYism? The majority of them mentioned the city needs these types of amenities. Even the mayor agreed. In light of the comments made by Coleman, and even inferred by one councillor who said it may take over 10 years to attract an offer such as this, how is the city going to continue this and pay for everything it has done or needs to do? James Park, Surrey n Kudos to the students from Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo high schools who presented eloquent and convincing arguments against the casino proposal on both evenings of the public hearings. The future is theirs, and the future of our city looks bright in their hands. Eleanor North, Surrey n Kudos to Mayor Dianne Watts and Couns. Bruce Hayne, Marvin Hunt, Mary Martin and Judy Villeneuve for saying no to a casino in South Surrey. Thank you for recognizing the genuineness in the speeches from those who came out to speak against the proposal and for not swaying to the pressure of BCLC. Words cannot express how relieved I was to hear this news on the morning of Jan. 19. What a cliff-hanger of a week that was, with Part 1 of the casino public hearing on Monday and having to wait until Friday for Part 2 to unfold. But the best part is that it had a happy ending for the future liveability and image of South Surrey and the flora and fauna of the area. Janice Melody, Surrey

Educator honoured The standing ovation she received when called to the front of the room said it all. Margaret “Mugs” Staller makes a lasting impression on those she comes into contact with. Her admirers – friends, family and current and former colleagues – were on hand last week as Staller was honoured by the Surrey Board of Education. A longtime special-education assistant at James Ardiel Elementary in North Surrey, Staller was recognized for her “unwavering” dedication to student success. “Her exceptional passion – and compassion – are obvious and infectious; so much so, that students of all cultures, backgrounds, ages and stages of development are excited to attend James Ardiel,” said school board chair Shawn Wilson. “Mugs sees only the best in people and makes everyone around her feel special, cared for and loved.” Wilson said staff at the school consider her irreplaceable. Her selflessness, he added, extends outside the school walls as Staller can often be found volunteering to help families in need or the homeless.

Progress made A working group struck last summer to review the Surrey School District’s antihomophobia policies has been a “powerful and sensitive” learning experience, said Supt. Mike McKay. The group, which comprises teachers, parents, students and administrators, was created following a request last June by students and teachers that Surrey establish a standalone anti-homophobia policy similar to that of other districts. McKay said sub-groups are now closely examining all current responses to bullying and student safety. He predicted amendments to some policies and regulations could be available as soon as this spring.

Council renews BNSF lease Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Bottrill said there has not been any talk as yet regarding possible changes to the lease terms. “At this point, we

haven’t introduced any changes to the lease agreement. We haven’t even had that conversation,” he said. “This is simply council’s

concurrence to renew the agreement. Council just wanted to inform the public that that’s what we were going to do.”

White Rock council has signed off on renewing the city’s lease with BNSF Railway Company, agreeing to an annual payment boost of $50,000 per year, to $400,000, starting Aug. 1. The politicians passed a resolution authorizing the move during a closed meeting held Jan. 14. City manager Dan Bottrill confirmed Friday the city is nearing the end of its current five-year term, which expires on July 31.

South Surrey woman to spend 27 months in Africa

The ‘ultimate chance’ with Peace Corps Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

s Amie Pendleton-Knoll counts down the weeks until she leaves for Malawi, it’s not the potential of contracting an illness like malaria or the idea of being so far from home that makes the South Surrey woman most nervous about the next two years. It’s snakes. Actually, it’s one snake in particular: the Black Mamba. Described as aggressive, fast and highly venomous, encountering one is a particularly daunting thought for Pendleton-Knoll. “I am deathly afraid of snakes,” the 23-year-old confessed. “My eyes water when I think of them. The Black Mamba… is the most deadly snake in Africa.” Having to deal with that fear was among challenges PendletonKnoll identified for herself in her application to travel to the Third World country as a Peace Corps volunteer. While it was one of the more unusual concerns they’d heard, it didn’t stop recruiters from ❝’It’s the hardest job accepting her. Last month, you’ll ever more than love.’ It’s brutal a year after and hard and applying, traumatic – Pendletonbut you fall in Knoll learned her 27-month love.❞ Peace Corps assignment begins March 5. She’ll get three days training in Washington, D.C. before heading to Lilongwe, Malawi for three months in-country training. After that, she’ll be on her own in a Malawian community for two years, working as a community health advisor. Pendleton-Knoll is no stranger to spending time in a foreign country without her family – she spent a month in India when she was 11, at an international peace camp, and volunteered at a Thai retirement centre for three months after high school when she was 17. What lies ahead, however, is by far

Tracy Holmes photo

Amie Pendleton-Knoll will spend 27 months in Malawi as a community health advisor with the U.S. Peace Corps. her most significant solo adventure. “Volunteers are completely on their own, living independently within their host towns,” Pendleton-Knoll said. “They prepare you for absolutely no electricity, candlelight reading, going to the well to get your water – the hard-knock life.” She’ll receive a living allowance she describes as “just enough to survive.”

Live Theatre in wHiTe rOCk at the beautiful Coast Capital Playhouse

Pendleton-Knoll can’t remember exactly when she decided she wanted to join the Peace Corps, but said the passion to serve has created a bit of a pattern within her family. Her older sister, Seren, travelled to Malawi 18 months ago; her uncle has worked in community development in India and Thailand; her father grew up

in India as a missionary child; and her mom was involved with Children’s International Summer Villages, through which PendletonKnoll took that trip to India 12 years ago. Her aunt also spent time in the Peace Corps. Pendleton-Knoll learned more about the opportunity for herself while studying at Middlebury

College in Vermont, where she earned a bachelor of arts degree. From everything she has seen and heard about the experience, it will be “the ultimate” chance to live and serve somewhere else, she said. Aside from snakes, PendletonKnoll believes the toughest part will be the first year, which will include adjusting to the Chichewa language she’ll be teaching in, and the routine that will become her new normal. “What I’m telling everyone is the transition – transitioning into a new culture,” she said. “That first morning when I wake up… and say, now what do I do? “I imagine it’ll take me about a year just to settle and not feel like an outsider. I’m not looking forward to those first few months, but I am looking forward to that second year.” As a community health advisor, Pendleton-Knoll’s primary focus in Malawi will be educating and raising awareness around HIV/ AIDS and malaria. Her mom, Susan Pendleton, said her biggest concern is the distance her daughter will be from the nearest help, should she run into trouble. Beyond that, Pendleton – founder of the Surrey Youth Theatre Company, for which her daughter has been assistant director for the past year – can only see positives in the endeavour. “When she comes back, she’ll be so marketable,” she said. “Peace Corps (volunteers), many of them go on to work with the UN.” Pendleton couldn’t resist a snake-inspired quip: “If she survives this, she’ll probably have a lot of choices.” Pendleton-Knoll knows her time in Malawi isn’t about changing the world. It’s about developing friendships and alliances, learning from others and starting a dialogue. The Peace Corps catch-phrase says it all, she said. “‘It’s the hardest job you’ll ever love.’ It’s brutal and hard and traumatic – but you fall in love.”

Below right, a group of friends enjoy coffee and conversation in the lounge, and bottom, Chef Vern with a sampling of the nutritious and delicious meals offered to residents.

A home with heart at Crescent Gardens

ouldn’t it be nice to wake up each morning knowing that friendly, lively discussions, yummy home-cooked meals and new experiences await you? For the residents at Chartwell Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, each new day brings the opportunity to spend time with friends – and often make new ones – in a warm, comfortable and caring environment they’re proud to call home. At the heart of this elegant, yet cozy, retirement residence in South Surrey is a true family of welcoming residents and caring staff who together create an unrivaled, homey atmosphere. Crescent Gardens is far more than just a place to live for its residents; keeping seniors active positively influences every aspect of their quality of life. Chartwell’s LiveNow programming brings together six dimensions of wellness which engage the body, mind and spirit. The residents’ pride and joy is having their very own private garden and greenhouse, which is truly spectacular during the spring and summer months. Many residents act as ambassadors to visitors to the community; this involvement on behalf of the residents is one factor that helps create the inviting, homelike environment at Crescent Gardens, according to Lifestyles Manager Victoria Jackson. “We have very strong input and involvement from our residents, for example when we host workshops and seminars, the residents greet visitors, and serve them coffee and tea,” Jackson said. “It really shows that this is their home, a home they’re very proud of.” Keeping residents active – socially and physically – is high-priority for staff at Crescent Gardens, who have seen firsthand the effect a friendly, social environment

can have on new residents. “The social aspect is so important at this stage in life,” said Jackson, noting the residence’s diverse activity calendar is often evolving based on feedback and suggestions from the residents themselves. “Coming into a social, caring and loving environment makes you happier and helps you to overcome things easier than if you’re living on your own.” Next on the social calendar at Crescent Gardens is a special complimentary Valentine’s Day pancake breakfast Feb. 14, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. This tasty event is open to the public and sure to exemplify Crescent Garden’s heartfelt atmosphere – reservations can be made by calling 604-541-8861. On any given day, residents can be found sipping coffee and tea, laughing together in the bright, sunny lounge. Another group is warming up for their exercise class, taught in the large multipurpose room. In the billiards room, newcomer Ken – who moved in just this month – is enjoying a game of pool with Bill his son, and can be overheard raving about the great food and outstanding service he’s received at his new home. Hidden from view until you walk into the elegant foyer is the real heart of Crescent Gardens, a large courtyard known as a ‘secret gem’ amongst those privy to the lush, outdoor oasis. With a large gazebo, plenty of seating and trees to shade the sun on hotter days, the courtyard is a hub of activity, where barbecues, entertainment and other special events take place throughout the year. While Jackson admits that making Crescent Gardens your home can be quite an adjustment for many new residents, she attributes the warm, home-like

atmosphere with helping ease the transition. She also notes the range of lifestyle options available – from independent condominium ownership, full-service rental suites, assisted living to residential care – allows residents to choose a lifestyle that fits their needs and enables Melissa Smalley photos them to retain their independence as long as possible. Services offered include daily meals, 24-hour professional staffing and housekeeping so residents and their families can rest assured that every detail is looked after. Crescent Gardens also has an on-site hair salon, physiotherapy, foot care, dental and hearing services and a guest suite for visiting family members. It is often said that ‘home is where the heart is’ – one visit to Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, and it’s not hard to see why the residents and staff here are truly one big happy family.

ith nearly a month of 2013 already behind us, many people may be starting to give up on their resolutions to lead a healthier lifestyle. Luckily for seniors on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, it’s never too late to start an exercise regime, no matter what your health and fitness level. When it’s cold and rainy outside, as it often is this time of year, getting out for regular walks may not seem like the most appealing idea. So why not check out a local recreation centre, where you can work up a sweat and meet new people, while staying out of the nasty weather. The South Surrey Recreation Centre has a number of different fitness programs, both drop-in and registered. A favourite among the senior community is pickle ball – a racquet sport that incorporates elements of badminton, tennis and ping pong. Beginners’ classes are offered for those who want to learn the basic skills and rules, and drop-in time slots are also available. If you’ve heard the buzz about yoga and always wanted to give it a try, South Surrey Rec Centre offers basic yoga and chair yoga, both specifically designed to improve balance and mobility.

Movie to shed light on female feticide in China and India

Kwantlen to screen documentary Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

It’s a scene that’s hard to watch. A woman describes how she killed her daughter, then reveals how she has killed seven or eight daughters, all because they weren’t born male. “It’s so very real and hard to fathom and comprehend, but it needs to be discussed,” said Kwantlen instructor Ranbir Johal. The scene will be one of many raw interviews in the documentary It’s a Girl to be screened at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Surrey campus Wednesday. Hosted by the GirlKIND Foundation, which Johal is a

member of, the documentary delves into the world of female feticide in India and China.

Johal, who first viewed the film in its entirety in Abbotsford last fall, knew she had to bring the documentary to her community to share. “It’s very powerful. I was very moved. These are issues I have heard about and read about, but it is difference when you see people actually talking from their experiences,” Johal said. “I wanted to bring it to Surrey and Kwantlen so students and other members of the community could see it.” While the focus of the movie is centered around the female feticide in India and China, Johal said she hopes the movie will spur action here at home in Canada. “We don’t want to paint the Chinese or Indian community

with one brush, but we want to bring up the discussion that this is happening,” she said. “Just because we’re sitting here in Canada doesn’t mean we are not affected by it. “It is our responsibility to do something and realize how one person can make a difference.” The Jan. 30 screening will be followed by a discussion and the event will feature performances by musical group Saint Soldier, featuring Sukhraj. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the movie will be screened at the conference room at the Surrey campus, 12666 72 Ave. Tickets can be purchased at www.girlkind.org or at the Modern Languages Department at KPU.

The White Rock Online Mapping System (WROMS) features an “easy-to-use interface” that enables searches for things like zoning, land use, underground utilities and more. It was made possible through a collaboration with the City of Surrey, which developed COSMOS – City of Surrey Mapping Online System. “The City of Surrey has been extremely helpful and co-operative through the whole process and we want to publicly acknowledge their tremendous assistance in this project,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said. “This new, high-quality mapping system is another way that the City of White Rock is bringing our customer service tools online to better serve the public.” For more, visit www.whiterockcity.ca

Surrey back in first place in BCHL Mainland Division

Depleted Eagles win three in a row Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Not even a depleted lineup could stop the Surrey Eagles from a perfect record last weekend, as the Birds won three straight and flew back into first place in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division. On Friday, Surrey battled back from a pair of two-goal deficits to defeat the Chilliwack Chiefs 6-4 – though they lost their two leading scorers, Brady Shaw and Adam Tambellini due to injury. Playing without both key forwards Saturday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles mustered a 3-1 win over the Langley Rivermen, and Sunday afternoon, also on home ice, edged the Salmon Arm Silverback 2-1 in overtime. In Sunday’s contest, the Eagles hit the ice without eight regulars – in addition to Shaw and Tambellini being out, Demico Hannoun, Joel Gaudet, William Clark, Tommy Stipancik, Troy Paterson and backup netminder Glenn Ferguson were all sidelined with injuries. To make matters worse, forward Colton Mackie was ejected five minutes into the game after being given a hit-from-behind penalty. Playing with a shortened bench, plus affiliate players Anthony Brito, Tanner Lenting, Marc Letourneau, Benjamin Vikich and netminder Scott Lapp, the Eagles fell behind to Salmon Arm 1-0 after 20 minutes when Stephen Iacobellis put the visitors up 1-0 when he potted a rebound past Eagles goalie Michael Santaguida. Midway through the third period, Surrey, which had just 21 shots on net in the game, nearly tied the game when captain Brett Mulcahy rang a wrist shot off the goal post. Still down by one goal and looking for an offensive spark, Eagles coach Matt Erhart juggled his injury-depleted lineup and moved defenceman Devon Toews up to play forward. The unorthodox move paid off

Surrey goaltender Michael Santaguida keeps his eye on puck despite the crowd in front and beside him during Sunday’s win over Salmon Arm. at 10:51 of the frame, when Toews fired a slapshot past Salmon Arm’s Angus Redmond. “He’s played up front a little bit before, and he’s got enough skill that he’s able to play both positions,” Erhart said. “He’d actually be pretty scary if we left him up at forward fulltime.” Rookie blue-liner Jordan Klimek won the game 2:55 into overtime when he poked a puck from under the glove of Redmond and into the net. Klimek’s goal was his fifth of the season, and three of which have

been game-winners. “With so many guys out, we really had other guys step up,” Erhart said Monday. Santaguida has played 15 straight games – due in part to Ferguson’s injury – and was at his best in Saturday’s win over Langley, stopping 30 of 31 shots on goal. Prior to the team’s three-gamesin-three-days weekend, Erhart hinted he might try to get his starting goalie a rest, but with injuries piling up, instead elected to go the distance with the veteran. “With no midweek games,

(playing a lot) is not as tough as it used to be,” Erhart told Peace Arch News last week. “For a veteran goalie, it shouldn’t be too difficult to play two, even three games a week. We give him breaks (in practice) when he needs them.” Nic Pierog, with a shorthanded marker, opened the scoring Saturday, and Kevan Killistoff scored on the power play in the second period. Trevor Cameron rounded out the scoring with an insurance goal with 6:30 left in the third period. Friday’s game was the only one in which the team played with

nearly a full roster – though Paterson, Gaudet and Ferguson were still sidelined – and again it was Pierog who opened the scoring for the visiting Eagles. The Chiefs took the lead before the midway mark of the first period, however, and were up 3-1 six minutes into the second. Mulcahy scored twice in the middle frame, and Michael Stenerson scored once – while Jaret Babych and Austin Plevy replied for Chilliwack – to send teams into the third period tied 4-4. › see page 23

Former Orca honoured Elgin Park Secondary grad Jess Franz – now a fifth-year senior with the University of Calgary Dinos – was named an athlete of the week by Canada West on Monday. Last Friday, Franz, a forward who was a member of Elgin Park’s 2008 provincial-title winning team, finished with a game-high 23 points and nine rebounds, leading the Dinos in knocking off the No. 1-ranked Fraser Valley Cascades. The following night, Franz recorded a double-double – 16 points, 16 boards – in a victory over the Trinity Western University Spartans. Calgary has the best record in Canada West with a 12-2 record.

Injuries minor

› from page 21 Drew Best and Killistoff scored for Surrey in the final 20 minutes, to give the Eagles the victory. Surrey now sports a record of 27-11-2-3 and has a three-point cushion on the secondplace Chiefs in the Mainland Division. The Eagles have the thirdbest record in the entire BCHL, behind only the Penticton Vees and Victoria Grizzlies, who each have 63 points. The Eagles have a lighter schedule this week, though they do have to travel north for a Thursday game against the Prince George Spruce Kings. After taking on the Kings, the Eagles return home for a Saturday matchup against the Rivermen at South Surrey Arena. Erhart expected the majority of his injured players – minus Ferguson and Paterson, who are out longer term – to be back soon, if not for Thursday’s game then likely Saturday. “It’s a lot of minortype injuries – the kind of thing where if it was playoffs they probably could have played,” Erhart said Monday. “But most guys should be back within a week or so.”
