Escape leaves locals in dark

Eyes on the ball

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A Delta man appeared in court Wednesday on multiple charges, including robbery and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, in connection with a single-vehicle crash in South Surrey last week that knocked out power to more than 4,000 area residents. The crash occurred on 40 Avenue, just east of King George Boulevard shortly after midnight Feb. 7. Events that led to it began about seven hours earlier in Langley, when police with that city’s Street Enforcement Unit took note of a Ford truck that had two fuel containers in its box. › see page 4

Health concerns rejected by school district as ‘unfounded’

Wi-Fi opponent wants schools to be hard-wired Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A South Surrey parent is urging others to join a campaign to ban wireless Internet in schools, citing concerns over the well-being of students. Carl Katz – an IT technician and founding member/director of Citizens for Safe Technology, which has been battling the installation of smart meters across B.C. – said he hopes to raise awareness about the impact of Wi-Fi in schools and encourage parents to speak out. “My daughter, who is turning 11 in a few weeks, is sensitive to the Wi-Fi. She is at Peace Arch Elementary and has nausea and dizziness,” Katz said, noting he, too, is electrohypersensitive to the radio waves used in

Parent Carl Katz says the proliferation of wireless communication shouldn’t be in schools. high-speed data transfers. “Given that parents of children who are electrosensitive in the Surrey School District are either pulling their children out of school or leaving them in with grave

concern because they don’t have the option of home-schooling them, why are there no options for these children? They just upgraded the Wi-Fi in the school and I’ve lost more than a few sleeps over it.”

Surrey School District communications manager Doug Strachan said he knows of just one case in the district in which students were pulled from class due to Wi-Fi concerns. Strachan said many of the fears are unfounded and can be attributed to skewed information. “There’s a plethora of information out in the Internet about Wi-Fi, but a lot of people zero in on – and have their fears heightened by – studies that say electromagnetic radiation has been declared a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. But if they dig deeper, they will see the electromagnetic radiation is in the same classifications as alcohol and talcum powder,” Strachan said. › see page 4

He was never in cabinet Friesen, who retired in 1993, and said last week that he gave the annual Mel Smith never aspired to it, as he lecture at Trinity Western doesn’t feel his strengths lay University in Langley last in administering Frank Bucholtz week.

...and frankly

and, before that, a respected Quebec MP. He also became good friends with Benoit Bouchard, who served in Mulroney’s cabinet and made a number of visits to Surrey during the Mulroney era. Bouchard gave a particularly passionate defence of free trade on one visit here, which I found impressive. Free trade is one of the Mulroney government’s lasting legacies. It was obvious to me as an observer that Friesen represented Surrey well in Ottawa, without blowing his own horn. At that time, Surrey had two MPs, both of whom were shared with other communities. When the Conservatives started to fall apart with the rise of the Reform Party, Friesen, with his characteristic loyalty, remained committed to the Conservatives. Even when former colleagues joined Reform, he stuck with the Conservatives. He eventuality backed the merger of the former Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties to become the current Conservative Party. Surrey has grown a great deal since the 1970s and 1980s. It now has four MPs and will soon have five. Surrey residents have served as premiers of B.C. and in the provincial cabinet. Our current mayor, Dianne Watts, has a high profile and is widely admired across the province. Yet it will be hard for any of them to do a better job of representing Surrey than Friesen did in his 19 years. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News.

Tariff trouble shared by Huberman

Board leader gets prime minister’s ear Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Summoned to an economic roundtable at Hunni’s Urban Boutique in Langley on Friday, Anita Huberman thought it was just another gathering of local business people. She was surprised to walk in and find Prime Minister Stephen Harper, two local MPs and six other business leaders from Langley and Abbotsford. Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, was given the opportunity to sound off on issues important to the area. That she did. One of her lead points of concern was crossborder shopping – the number of people heading south rather than shopping locally. Huberman said in an interview Tuesday that a key problem is an 18-20 per-cent tariff

on U.S. products imported to local shops, making them more expensive to buy here. Huberman said Harper wanted guarantees retailers would reduce their prices if those tariffs were reduced, and also expressed concern about any impact that would have on the federal budget. She also raised the issue of free trade agreements with India and the European Union. “He’s hoping for some developments this year, but it’s a slow process with India,” Huberman said. “The EU will happen more quickly, he feels.” She is also asking for a national $10-a-day subsidy for child care for people making less than $40,000 annually. “We want a child-care policy,” Huberman said. “We’re the only developed nation in the world that does not have a child-care policy.”

While she said Harper noted he understood the “economic rationale,” he pointed out the provinces cannot expect the “Cadillac” child-care policy the federal government funds for Quebec. Harper urged business groups to hold the government’s feet to the fire on the issue, Huberman said, noting that a resolution asking for a national child-care subsidy didn’t get the blessing of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. It will be reintroduced in September, she said. Huberman also raised the issue of climbing fees for retailers when credit cards are used, but Harper told her it’s difficult to manage Mastercard and Visa. He said when certain types of protectionism are introduced, the free market can be compromised, she said.

“It wasn’t something that he felt he could comment on at this point in time,” Huberman said, “even though he knows it’s a critical concern to business.” Harper was joined at the economic roundtable discussion by Langley MP Mark Warawa and Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages James Moore. Joining the politicians at the meeting were Christi Hunniford and Curtis Stratuliak, the owners of Hunni’s Urban Boutique, as well as another Langley businessman, Satya Bernhausen of Bernhausen Specialty Automotive. Also in attendance were Gerri Charles, the owner of Abbotsford’s Champagne and Lace, Soon Kim of the Newgen Group of Companies, which is based out of Abbotsford, and Eric Hou of Asia Pacific Farms, which is based out of Aldergrove.

Cat fight ends in arrest A 68-year-old White Rock man is facing charges after a dispute between neighbours regarding a cat escalated. Const. Janelle Shoihet said the incident occurred in the 1400block of Foster Street on Jan. 17. It began as a verbal dispute over one man’s cat, and ended with a 57-year-old man getting sprayed with bear spray. Patrice Larouche was due back in court Wednesday after Peace Arch News press deadline, on charges of assault with a weapon and “possessing weapon for dangerous purpose.”

30-day sentence A woman who allegedly kicked two police officers in the course of her arrest was sentenced Friday to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to theft under $5,000. Dzenana Kljajlic, 35, was also given a one-year probation for the Oct. 1 incident. Const. Janelle Shoihet said Kljajlic was arrested in connection with the theft of a bottle of wine from the Sandpiper Liquor Store. Two officers responding to the call reported being kicked during the course of an arrest, one of them in the face and upper arm. Assault charges were stayed.

$44,000 missing A Surrey woman was arrested this week in connection with the alleged defrauding of a White Rock company. Const. Janelle Shoihet said the Clayton-area resident was taken into custody Monday, following the disappearance of approximately $44,000 over the course of nine months last year, between March 1 and Nov. 30. “Allegedly, (the accused) wrote cheques from the company account and paid them to herself, but there weren’t any associated invoices,” Shoihet said. Karen Ann Chura, 53, appeared in court Tuesday on charges of fraud, forgery and using forged cheques. She was to return Thursday on an application to vary bail conditions.

White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet places a Valentine’s Day broken-heart ‘ticket’ on the windshield of a vehicle parked on Pacific Avenue. The cards – one version commends motorists and one gently chides them – are being handed out today throughout the city in an effort to encourage drivers to help prevent auto crime.

Man flags down bus, sits on driver attempted an eastbound turn onto 40 Avenue. The truck struck a hydro pole, knocking it down and leaving thousands of area residents in the dark. The road was closed to traffic for several hours while the damage was repaired. Officers who arrived on the scene shortly after the crash took a female passenger into custody without incident. The driver, however, was nowhere to be found. Police were alerted soon after by Coast Mountain officials that one of their buses had been flagged down not far from the collision scene by a man covered in mud. When Richmond RCMP stopped the bus, the driver was

under attack by a man sitting on top of him. It’s alleged the assailant was trying to steal the bus. One man was arrested; the truck and boat from the earlier crash were both determined stolen. In addition to Langley and Richmond RCMP, two dog-handler teams from the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service were involved in the investigation. Troy Michael Regnier, 27, is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, drive while prohibited, flight from a peace officer, robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and two additional counts of possession of stolen property.

No need to tether people: Strachan › from page 1 “It’s at a lower classification than sunlight. There needs to be context for everything.” In November, the BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils sent a letter to the Ministry of Education outlining a list of resolutions from the 2012 annual general meeting – including the designation of one public school at each education level per district that is free of Wi-Fi, cordless phones and cellphones. However, the ministry noted that boards of education “have the authority to develop policies addressing the use of wireless technology in schools and to implement the appropriate technology where it is deemed necessary to support the education needs of students.” Katz, who first noticed symptoms of electrohypersensitivity in 2007 – including nausea, dizziness and headaches – said negative health impacts from Wi-Fi are something he deals with daily, despite ridding his South Surrey acreage of wireless

electronic devices in 2008. In 2010, Katz and other members of CST, presented their concerns to White Rock council, prompting the city to ask the federal government to review its use, safety guidelines and standards for wireless technologies. Shortly after, Katz underwent surgery for a brain tumour, which he said was “very plausible” to be the result of a decade of exposure through his work in the information-technology industry. Katz noted Wi-Fi is used worldwide, including retail businesses, hospitals, libraries and homes, potentially making everybody susceptible. “The newest Wi-Fi standard 802.11n has a range of 1,000 feet, compared with the old 802.11b, which had a range of 250 feet,” he said. “When I drive, there are certain intersections where I get dizzy and sometimes I feel like I’m in a fog. “Kids shouldn’t be exposed to that for six to seven hours.” According to the Surrey Schools Wi-Fi Installations Info Sheet,

the routers used in all Surrey schools are the Aruba AP-105, which “transmits at only a small fraction of the national allowable limit.” “An active Wi-Fi router in a Surrey school was tested with the measurement tool directly on the router and the result was equal to 1/4 of one per cent of the Health Canada safety limit,” the info sheet states. Said Strachan: “Wi-Fi is safe and has enormous advantages. There is no reason to go to tethering people. We rely on health experts and authorities in Canada to help us stay safe.” Despite the lack of support from the school district in removing Wi-Fi, Katz said he plans to continue sharing the information he finds. “The Surrey School District’s plan is to divide (parents) and conquer,” he said. “But wired is far superior to wireless and while it’s not as convenient, we have to give it up for our kids. They shouldn’t be forced to be eradiated in school.”

Welcome to White Rock

Questions over contest Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Recommendations around the City of White Rock’s Gateway project sparked tensions between two councillors recently. Council last week was asked to approve a budget for the project – aimed at coming up with a design for the city’s main entranceway – and have staff prepare the competition package in digital format. The Feb. 4 discussion became heated when Coun. Louise Hutchinson suggested that due process had not been followed in the lead-up to the recommendations. She described them as “a little, the-cart-before-the-horse,” and cited ongoing efforts to come up with a plan for the city’s town centre. “I’m not sure that this council has fully accepted the study plan,” she said. “There’s a lot of red flags that jumped out at me for the way this was done.” Coun. Larry Robinson, who sits

Mayor Wayne Baldwin agreed on the city’s public art advisory the project is in the budget and has been approved. committee, swiftly fired back. “It has gone before council and “I’m sorry Coun.

Collision slows rush-hour commute A Tuesday morning collision between two vehicles at 160 Street and 32 Avenue blocked a portion of the intersection, slowing traffic during the rush-hour commute.

Fire crews were on hand afterwards, clearing the broken glass and debris from the accident. According to Surrey Mounties, the collision occured when

a vehicle turning left onto 160 Street from 32 Avenue was struck by a vehicle travelling westbound through the intersection. No injuries were reported.

Political paralysis

t seems that as soon as someone is elected to public office, a creeping paralysis – inspired by fear of alienating voters and political supporters – becomes all too apparent. The numbness starts with the tongue and a sudden awareness of the need to hold it. There’s an overwhelming sensation that plain speaking must be suspended for the greater good; that political allegiances dictate statements cautious lest any rocking of boats submerge pet projects. Once started, the condition descends to the shoulders, which become frozen in a dismissive shrug, a universal gesture signaling a politician’s inability to acknowledge personal responsibility for anything perceived as offensive. From there, the paralysis attacks the brain, where the principal symptom is a tendency to espouse two conflicting notions at the same time, negating all forward motion entirely. Thus the spectacle of Newton-North Delta MP Jinny Sims, absolving herself of responsibility for something, while at the same time arguing there is nothing to be absolved from. The New Democrat claims she didn’t know that Maninder Gill was awaiting trial on weapons charges when she awarded him a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal last weekend. Realizing the seriousness of the crimes of which Gill stands accused (relating to a 2010 dispute that left one man with a bullet wound), she apologizes if anyone was offended by his receiving a medal. At the same time, as she rightly notes, “each accused person is considered to be innocent until they are found guilty in a court of law.” So why, then, apologize? Students of the paralysis of reason must be having a field day studying the actions – and inactions – of Energy Minister Rich Coleman. His apparent desire to win brownie points with voters by claiming that no BC Hydro customer will be forced to accept a smart meter – while at the same time insisting that customers will be “re-educated” until they, ultimately, accept a smart meter – is a classic instance of double-talk that does no one any favours. Both BC Hydro and customers resisting attempts to install the meters have been left in confusion, while the BC Liberal minister has steadfastly refused to acknowledge the policy of absolute compliance he has established means all will eventually be forced to comply. Such paralysis, rooted in the politician’s desire to be all things to all people, is the natural enemy of clarity and, ultimately, leadership.

Our home is where the art is Editor: White Rock has had a reputation as an arts city for many years and, as a validation to this idea, artists were invited to participate in an event to help honour their contributions to the community (Artists honoured by city, Feb. 12). Musicians, dancers, painters, writers of note were on hand to receive the deserved kudos and, in fact, everyone was surprised at the amount of talent that our fair city has on its doorstep. The city council and mayor are commended for this effort, and it is hoped that this encouragement will spill over to our residents and business community. The continued support of the arts must be an inclusive endeavour and participation by the public in the various artistic venues is imperative. An artistic community can only thrive and survive with enough people attending local events, venues and collecting artwork from our home-grown artists. We all need to do our part to ensure we have a healthy and thriving economy in our own backyard and a good start is to safeguard and acknowledge our “community treasures.” Shop, entertain and participate in our own ’hood is my suggestion. Marilyn Hurst, White Rock

We made most of monarchy Editor: Re: Jubilee winner rejects honour, Feb. 7. The article concerning Pummy Kaur’s return of her Diamond Jubilee Medal had an inaccurate headline. It should have read: Jubilee winner accepts medal solely for purpose of rejecting it.” Many deserving people in our community have been honoured with the Diamond Jubilee Medal. Kaur’s conduct strikes me as ill-mannered. If you are offered an honour and do not want it, then politely decline it. Don’t accept it, reject it and then self-publicize why you rejected it. Ms. Kaur, many people in Canada are grateful for the peace, rule of law and eventual prosperity that Canada’s constitutional monarchy has allowed their families to have.

A lot of other countries have not been so fortunate. A review of the UN’s Human Development Index shows that most constitutional monarchies – not just ours, but Japan, Sweden, etc. – are at the top of that list. In fact they were seven out of the top 10 in 2011. Paul Schwartz, Surrey n As an Irish Catholic, I daresay my ancestors and I have about 400 or 500 more years of “English persecution” to complain about than do Pummy Kaur’s. I have some sympathy for Kaur’s belief that “restitution” is owed from

the British monarchy, but I could not agree with her less. I encourage Kaur to relish her Jubilee Medal from the Queen and look upon it as a small symbol of the magnificent legacy of the British Empire which built this great nation. Kaur and many of her kinfolk benefit abundantly from the British rule of law and the pillars of western civilization that prop up the majority of the developed world today. If not for this legacy of democracy and individual rights, Kaur and I might still be nothing more than slaves, locked in feudal battle with the neighbouring “tribe/clan.” Paul Griffin, Surrey

Opposition not about the views Editor: Re: Foster Street project OK’d, Feb. 5. This decision completely flies in the face of more than 100 owners and users of the Foster laneway who have voiced their negative opinions by various means to no avail. OK, this hopefully will be remembered. It wasn’t about the view, it was about the traffic congestion. R. Powell, White Rock

Teens have a lock on team spirit Editor: Our society is changing. Emerging technologies and social media have created a world where our youth are exposed to large quantities of violence and a world where they communicate in ways that might cause parents – products of a different generation – to ask themselves what the future looks like. Rather than pick up the phone or stop to have a conversation, our children now text, tweet, Facebook, Facetime and/or Instagram. One could easily be left with the impression that our generation was better, and that our children lack the same compassion or empathy. I would like to pause here and ask you to picture a 28-year-old woman battling breast cancer. Her supportive husband decides to shave his head to help her through the emotional strain that accompanies treatment. While doing so, he still volunteers his time to coach and mentor a team of 15- to 17-year-old hockey players, showing up at their game with a shaved head.

Afterwards, a couple of the kids talk about how great it was that he was still there for them. They also talk about how they would like to support him. These young men secure the support of their other coach and, amongst themselves, discuss the loss of their precious teenage hair, and the impact this might have on their ability to impress the girls! Notwithstanding that, with/through the assistance of social media, these bald-headed young hockey players present their coach with more than $2,300 they raised for cancer research. On their own volition, these young men have: contributed to a worthy cause; galvanized a team; helped solidify their own identities and values; and made all of their parents very proud. One could also say this selfless and simple act of compassion speaks to the value of sport; is an example of why we should be proud to be a part of this community; and is why we should believe in the leaders of tomorrow.

Health authority reports less hallway medicine, C. difficile

Fraser tackles overcrowding Jeff Nagel Black Press

A six-month drive to cut hospital congestion in Fraser Health has led to a significant drop in patients being treated in hospital hallways or other overflow areas. The previous average of 100 admitted patients at any time getting hallway medicine in overflow areas has been cut to 43, and they’ve been eliminated entirely at some hospitals, according to a health authority report on the improvements. Former health minister Mike de Jong directed Fraser Health last June to pursue improvements on five fronts after the report of the Fraser Health Congestion Review Panel flagged ongoing high levels of congestion that many staff considered intractable. One of the biggest gains reported was a cut by nearly half in the rate of C. difficile infections in area hospitals, attributed to enhanced cleaning and handwashing strategies. Alarmingly high rates of the bacteria-spread illness had prompted the health region to send roving “super clean” teams through six hospitals in early 2012.

File photo

The rate of hallway medicine has fallen, says Fraser Health.

The congestion-control exercise didn’t reach all of its targets. It succeeded in increasing the percentage of admitted ER patients getting a hospital bed within 10 hours to 58 per cent – up from 51 per cent last year but not yet consistently at a target of at least 61 per cent. All hospitals are now beating a target of having more than 90 per cent of hip surgeries performed within 48 hours of the patient being admitted. “We cannot take our foot off the gas,” the report says, cautioning that “there will continue to be pressure on access to services and from time to time there will likely be congestion-related events.” Fraser Health previously esti-

mated the region will be short 1,100 beds by 2020 but that study is being updated to recalculate expected demand for acute care beds. The 2,200 acute care beds across 12 hospitals are routinely full. But the 2014 opening of the new $512-million expansion at Surrey Memorial will add 150 more beds. “It is clearly understood that expanding hospitals is not the sole solution to meeting increasing demand,” the report said, adding there’s a critical need to increase community-based services. Some of the gains were made through methods like having home-care staff at emergency departments intercept incoming elderly patients and redirect them back home, provided its appropriate and sufficient home support can be dispatched. “When we stopped caring for patients in the south hallway (at Surrey Memorial) and I saw that the number of admitted patients in Emergency had been reduced in half, I knew we were doing something right,” said Martha Cloutier, Fraser Health’s emergency clinical operations director for Surrey Memorial, Delta and Peace Arch hospitals.

BC NDP leader Adrian Dix, left, speaking at a stop in Surrey Thursday, fields questions on casino policy.

Dix won’t promise to halt gambling expansion

Casino review needed: NDP Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix won’t pledge to block new casinos or expansions but says he expects the BC Lottery Corporation to rethink its current approach in the wake of last month’s defeat of a proposed casino in South Surrey. Asked Thursday if an NDP government would freeze further gambling expansion, Dix criticized the BC Liberal government’s “petulant” response to Surrey council’s decision Jan. 19 to reject a gaming licence for the proposed South Surrey Entertainment Centre. “I don’t know if a freeze is what’s required,” Dix said at a stop in Surrey. “But clearly the lottery corporation, after their difficulties in both Vancouver and Surrey, has to reflect on the issue of casino expansion at this time.” A proposal to convert Vancouver’s Edgewater Casino into a

giant casino at BC Place stadium was defeated by Vancouver council more than a year ago in another contentious battle between gambling opponents and supporters. “We’ve now had two major setbacks where the lottery corporation was at odds with where the community was going,” Dix said. “We clearly have to review what’s going on.” BCLC’s president Michael Graydon and gaming minister Rich Coleman both ruled out any other Surrey casino location after the rejection but said they’d consider other nearby municipalities, including First Nations land, for a similar casino. The NDP launched B.C.’s casino gambling expansion in the late 1990s, but it really took off when the Liberals took power in 2001 after running on a platform that promised to stop the expansion of gambling. Back then, there were 2,400 slot machines province-wide.

The ADDED Touch SINCE 1984

Now there are close to 12,000 – a five-fold increase over the last dozen years that has included the conversion of old-style bingo halls into “community gaming centres” with slot machines. Casinos now generate more than $1.5 billion a year for the provincial government. “There’s no question the overall dependence of government on lottery revenues has grown,” Dix said. In an interview last week, Coleman denied he did anything wrong in contacting Surrey councillors in between publichearing sessions prior to the vote and said he wouldn’t do anything differently. “I don’t know how we could have done anything any differently,” he said, adding the province believed Surrey council wanted the site off Highway 99 near the Peace Arch border crossing. “They changed their mind and we move on – it’s pretty simple.”

Official opening of train station in 1913 marked ‘genesis year’ for White Rock

Landmark building celebrates 100 years W

e are celebrating the 100th birthday of our museum and archives building this year, and invite everyone to join with us in a salute to this venerable White Rock icon. Built as a railway depot, it has adapted to serve other purposes but remains the most recognizable building on the waterfront. Originally opened on Jan. 1, 1913, as the Great Northern Railway station, it was turned over to the city in 1975 when trains no longer Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood stopped at White Rock. The building was of rare design in that it contained customs and immigration facilities, as well as railway offices. It soon became the hub of a booming community. But, as archives volunteer Tom Saunders points out, the new railway depot was one of several significant developments in 1913, a year that he terms “a genesis year for our city.” The GNR rail line, rerouted along the shore of Semiahmoo Bay, became operational in March 1909. By 1913, 10 passenger trains a day – five in each direction – stopped in White Rock during the summer, triggering a land boom. The potential danger of accidents involving increasing numbers of beachgoers prompted the building of a subway under the GNR railway at Elm Street. With the availability of the railway to haul logs, the Campbell River Lumber Company (whose mill at Hazelmere had recently burned) leased 36 acres of Semiahmoo Reserve land and built a state-of-the-art mill, which opened in September 1913, eventually employing 250 men. Real estate firms abounded, with familiar local names of Thrift, Vidal and Hughes among them, some having purchased land in anticipation of the relocation of the railway line. The White Rock ‘townsite’ sales agency, based in New Westminster, employed a resident White Rock manager. Lots that had been offered for sale for $25

Understandably, it was not as easy to provide newly arrived permanent families with basic amenities. However, the property for the White Rock Elementary School was purchased from pioneer John Roper in 1913, with the new school opening the following year. White Rock’s first church, the precursor of First United, constructed on Prospect Avenue with funds raised mainly by the Ladies’ Aid, was dedicated in August. The Sunday-school population had increased from fewer than 15 in 1912 to 50 › see page 12

The British Columbian newspaper of New Westminster predicted that 3,000 campers would make White Rock their summer home. This influx of summer residents required provisions and accommodation.

City drew interest from across border â&#x20AC;ş from page 11 in 1913. Formed in 1910 by local men, the rudimentary White Rock Water Works Company was upgraded in 1913 and formally registered, enduring to earn the distinction of being the last privately owned water works company in B.C. With an eye to requests of vacationers as much as a convenience for residents, a public telephone call office was installed in David Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; real estate office on the seafront road (now Marine Drive). Although the pole line was set up, electricity was a more intricate affair, complicated by absent landowners. Well aware of White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newsworthiness, in March Charles E. Sands began publication of Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole newspaper, The Semiahmoo Gazette, a unique local voice until its merger with the newly established Surrey Leader in 1929. Because of its

geographical position, White Rock interested influential men on both sides of the international border in development schemes. In 1913, J. D. Hazen, the Canadian Minister of Fisheries and Marine visited White Rock precipitating the construction of the White Rock pier in 1914. Unfortunately, the euphoria of 1913 was soon sidelined by the demands of the First World War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Rock contributed more men to the cause of liberty than any other place of its size in the Fraser Valley,â&#x20AC;? claimed the White Rock Improvement League. But, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right, Tom, 1913 was a banner year for White Rock. The Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-known motherand-son historians, Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood, are dedicated to preserving history through the White Rock Museum & Archives.

Where is everyone travelling to these days? When socializing with family and friends, I am constantly being asked “where is everyone travelling to these days?” My response is that World Wide cruising has become a huge vacation option. There are more and more ships, and they are becoming larger and grander. As an alternative to Ocean Cruising many travelers are switching to River Cruising, with the majority of them enjoying the smaller ships and more personal service.

The ‘new’ Family Law Act will replace the Family Relations Act in British Columbia on March 18, 2013. Legislated change always seems decades behind social and economic reality. What will this new legislation mean for you ? In respect to couples and ‘community property’: 1. Unmarried or ‘common law’ spousei will now be entitled to property relief under the statute. This is a significant change. Currently, the Family Relations Act does not cover common law relationships. Before, ii in order to receive a share of property acquired during a “common law relationship”, but where title or ownership of the property is only in the other spouse’s name, the ‘onus’ was on you to show why the property or its value should be shared with you. Under the new Family Law Act , however, the ‘onus’ is the other way around. There will be a presumption that property acquired during the relationship is Family Property and is to be shared equally, unless it is “significantly unfair”, just as in the case of married couples. iii The onus now shifts to the ‘non-titled’ spouse to show it would be “significantly unfair” to share. 2. Pre-marital property, acquired prior to the ‘relationship’, will be Excluded Property iv and separately owned by that respective spouse, unless it is “significantly unfair”. But, the increase in value of the Excluded Property is divisible. Note that In the case of common law relationships, one must seek the division of property with 2 years of the date of separation. In regard to Child Support, the Child Support Guidelines and the basic legal principles will continue to apply. Similarly, with Spousal Support, the language of the new Family Law Act will not change the basic legal principles or the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. Time and space being limited, if you have any questions, please feel free to call my office. Robert Brajovic Personal Law Corp – (604) 536-5373 i Married or having lived together in a marriage-like relationship for 2 years or more. ii Or until March 18, 2013 iii The same applies to debt acquired during the relationship iv Including property acquired with Excluded Property

B.C. premier announces plan to target debt with natural gas exports

50%

‘Prosperity Fund’ launched Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt. The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first liquefied natural gas facilities begin to ship LNG for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a tax on LNG exports, as well as gas producers’ corporate taxes and traditional natural gas royalty revenues. The new fund is patterned after Alberta’s Heritage Fund, set up in 1976 as a legacy for Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an estimated $100 billion from LNG revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five LNG production facilities

exporting gas from the KitimatPrince Rupert region. The plan was presented in the throne speech delivered Tuesday by Lt-Gov. Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election. The key task for the B.C. Liberal government in that session is to pass legislation returning the provincial sales tax to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund. “Whether it is eliminating the provincial sales tax, or making long-term investments in areas like education or vital infrastructure that strengthen communities – these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the government’s focus on LNG development is at odds with its heavily advertised jobs plan, with

little mention of forestry, mining, tourism, film and TV production or high technology. The government missed its natural gas revenue targets in a budget update six months ago, so projecting LNG revenues many years in the future is questionable at best, he said. The government estimates that if B.C.’s LNG mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduction, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade. The province currently pays about $2.5 billion a year in interest on the debt. There has been a rush of international investment interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas deposits. Companies include Mitsubishi Corp., Shell Canada, China National Petroleum Corporation and Petronas, a transnational gas player owned by the government of Malaysia.

Splashes Wash Lodge It’s no secret that some auto care centres might not have the best reputations when it comes to providing the best services for great value from honest, friendly staff. Splashes in South Surrey has worked hard to change that Ryan & Greg perception since opening in 2004, by guaranteeing their work and creating a friendly, comfortable atmosphere for all their customers. Offering Auto Glass, detailing and other vehicle-care services using state-of-theart equipment and processes, Splashes makes a point of ensuring each and every customer knows they’re important. Whether you’re waiting for your vehicle on site – enjoying a comfortable lounge with a big screen TV, wireless internet, fresh water and coffee and a daily paper – or you need a lift somewhere in the area in Splashes’ free community shuttle, the team will make sure you’re well taken care of. Services offered include auto glass repair and replacement with ICBC express certification, complete automotive detailing, spray-on truck bed liners, truck accessories, window tinting, dent repair, full-service car washing and more. According to owners Ryan Oliver and Greg Horton, one of the most exciting services Splashes offers is X-Kote Paint Restoration. “Unlike wax that always wears off a vehicle, X-Kote is permanent,” Ryan says. “Once applied, it makes a vehicle look like it just came out of the show room, and can eliminate most surface scratches. Customers are always amazed at the results of this service, and can’t believe their vehicles could look so good.” This revolutionary system is just one of many that Splashes provides to keep your vehicle looking as good as it did the first day you bought it. As a locally owned business, Ryan said he and the staff enjoy working with their home community of White Rock / South Surrey. With a small-town feel – despite its growing population – and loyal, friendly customers, many of whom rave about the old-fashioned customer service they receive, which can be hard to find these days. To find out more about the cutting-edge services at Splashes, visit www.splashes.ca

AFreshOutlook Now that spring is just around the corner, do you feel like your home could use a little sprucing up? Perhaps what you need is AFreshOutlook? For more than a decade, Dwight Young, president of AFreshOutlook, has been providing a diverse range of top quality Hunter Douglas window coverings to residents around the Lower Mainland, with a unique, customerfriendly Shop-at-Home approach. Recently, Dwight and his wife Iris relocated both their Dwight Young business and their family to the Semiahmoo Peninsula, and couldn’t be more excited about providing service to members of this community that will exceed their expectations. AFreshOutlook takes the guesswork out of shopping for window coverings – with mobile service, customers can see what the samples look like in their own homes and envision what the final product will look like. With top quality products from Hunter Douglas – including the exclusive ‘Alustra Collection’ – customers are sure to find the perfect solution for any room in their house. “Window fashions must be about more than window dressing,” Dwight explains. “They should be a way to change the dynamics of a room.” With several key elements to be taken into consideration – including light source, privacy issues, style options and window shapes – having an in-home expert to help in the selection process becomes a valuable help. And with things like energy efficiency, UV protection and child safety issues at the forefront of customers’ minds, the need for honest, knowledgeable advice is more prevalent than ever. As owner/operator of a small company, Dwight prides himself on providing outstanding customer service no matter how big or small the job. “When you call us, you get an answer back right away,” he says. The one-on-one approach Dwight takes with his customers also affords him the opportunity to take the time to ensure the work going to be absolutely perfect. “It’s not about selling the most expensive product if it doesn’t ‘fit’,” he explains. “It’s about taking advantage of the homeowner’s living environment and providing them with the best solution possible.” The exceptional customer service doesn’t end when the installation is complete, either – AFreshOutlook offers in-home cleaning of Hunter Douglas window coverings. If you’re ready for a stylish and sophisticated new look in your home, call A Fresh Outlook today – ask about the Energy Wise Manufacturer’s Rebate on the Duette Architella line.

River’s Bend Winery Open in the spring of 2005, River’s Bend is a family-owned and operated boutique winery located on 30 acres of pastoral farmland alongside the winding banks of the Serpentine River in South Surrey. Owner Court Faessler planted the winery’s Jacquie 15-acre vineyard in 1992 with grape varieties including Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. The grapes are grown using natural farming methods, when they reach their optimum in the autumn the grapes are hand picked, the flesh gently crushed, and the pressed juice made lovingly into wine. Court’s son and General Manager, Gary, designs the wines using no oak for the whites and only a whisper of oak on the reds producing clean, fruit forward and food friendly wines. River’s Bend Winery is celebrating Valentine’s Day with the release of their new Carnival Red Estate Wine; a delicious blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes from our vineyards, this fruity, light-bodied red has flavour notes of red cherry and strawberry fruit followed by a spicy, berry finish. A very food-friendly wine, Carnival Red is great with everything including, grilled salmon, seared steak and fries, or simply served chilled and enjoyed with a picnic and cheeses. Carnival Red is currently only available at the winery at the very reasonable price of $8.60 per bottle. We are offering a free bottle of wine with every case purchased. We invite you to visit the winery and tour the vineyards. Drink in the view overlooking the vineyards and Mount Baker from our expansive patio. In our wine store and tasting room we offer our fine wines and gifts, including a wide selection of dips, spreads, tapenades and crackers. A fireplace furnishes warmth on those occasional cooler, wet afternoons. Please join us for a taste of British Columbia at River’s Bend Winery.

They make us want to be the best because their support is always so positive.”

Welcome to…

Morgan Creek Dental Clinic When it comes to the health of you and your family, dental health is just as important as other aspects of your well-being. The team at Morgan Creek Dental Clinic is committed to bringing you a lifetime of healthy teeth and a perfect smile, using advanced technology and professional skills in a friendly, relaxed environment. Dr. Tao Zeng With certified dental professionals and a friendly, knowledgeable staff, Morgan Creek Dental strives to provide the best care possible for their patients in a warm, welcoming office setting. Each member of the team takes continuing education courses to ensure that they are up to date with the newest technology and knowledge. One example of such technology is the VELscope – a device that allows the team to perform a comprehensive oral tissue examination, screening for abnormalities that can potentially lead to precancer, cancer or other diseases. Early detection is one of the best mechanisms for enabling treatment success, increasing survival rates and maintaining a high quality of life. Morgan Creek Dental Clinic is also happy to offer BOTOX Cosmetic treatments, a natural purified protein that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, creating a smooth, natural look. Having BOTOX done in a dental office is very convenient as the effects are visible for 4-6 months and can coincide with regular dental check up and cleaning appointments. It can also be used in conjunction with cosmetic dentistry for a complete esthetic make-over. And as dentists have been doing injections in the oral facial area repeatedly throughout their careers, it’s a natural fit for them to administer BOTOX treatments, as they are very experienced with local anatomy and tissue responses. If the thought of visiting the dentist is enough to send you running for the hills, Morgan Creek Dental offers sedation dentistry – a premium service that helps make dental procedures painless and comfortable. This is a valuable service for patients who feel anxious about visiting the dentist and few offices are eligible to offer this safe and effective treatment as it requires a high level of training. Morgan Creek Dental Clinic believes in both prevention and open communication to increase their relationships with clients. We always welcome new clients and look forward to providing lifelong, quality dental care in a comfortable setting. We are located conveniently on the 2nd floor in Morgan Creek Corporate Centre, Suite #209 (at the intersection of 152 St. and 32 Ave.). Call today at 604-536-4222 and take a step towards lifelong high-quality dental care.

Holly Valentine’s

Poultry in Motion For more than 20 years, Holly Valentine, owner of Poultry and Motion on Marine Drive, has been the go-to-woman for all things breakfast. With tantalizing menu items like the Mishady omelette (fluffy eggs stuffed with delicious veggies and topped with silky avocados and tangy feta cheese), it’s no wonder this beachfront restaurant Holly Valentine has become a delicious destination for residents of the Peninsula and beyond. After years of serving up the freshest, tastiest dishes around, Holly has gone back to her roots, re-incorporating some of the deli items she had when first opening in 1990. Delicious, glistening rotisserie chickens – the very inspiration for the name Poultry in Motion – are now available by pre-order (call 604-538-8084 for more info). A range of fresh, homemade bread and soups made from scratch can also be found in store, as well as a wide selection of ‘Grab & Go’ freezer items made onsite, including vegetarian or chicken lasagna, chicken dinners, chicken pot pie, omelette breakfasts and more. Despite the expansion of offerings at Poultry in Motion, however, the focus is still on serving up fresh, home made meals make with local ingredients – such as the eggs benedict with ham, on special for the month of February as a special treat to customers. “My last name is Valentine, so I had to do something good for Valentine’s Day,” she said. And it would be impossible to talk about Holly without mentioning her “best in the world” raspberry muffins, containing a top-secret ingredient that she vows never to reveal. Holly is so serious about the ingredient, she has her staff sign a non-disclosure statement. “People always ask me how to make it at home, but I’ll never tell,” she said, laughing. So make sure to stop by Poultry in Motion, whether it’s the lure of a delicious breakfast, the outstanding view or the world’s best raspberry muffin, one thing is for sure, you won’t leave hungry.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Well-cast comedy about Canada’s favourite pastime offers plenty of laughs

Players club scores with The Good Game W

hite Rock Players’ current winning streak continues – at least artistically – with their current offering, The Good Game, by Quesnel playwright Roy Teed. First-time director Lisa Pavilionis has chosen wisely in casting this locker-room comedy about four over-the-hill hockey players who figure “sure, why not?” when they’re asked to be part of an old-timersversus-young-guns charity game. Teed’s script is pure, character-driven sitcom, but a truly funny one, even if it doesn’t offer any breathtaking epiphanies on the human condition. Alex Browne And while Pavilionis’ straightforward staging doesn’t always take full advantage of the possibilities of the medium, she has created a strong base for great ensemble playing and endearing characterization, ensuring solid laughs all the way through. The only question about The Good Game is whether it will find its audience. Hockey fans may be more inclined to go to a game than see a play about it, while theatre enthusiasts may be put off by the subject matter. The good news is you don’t have to be either a hockey fan or a theatre snob to enjoy this show, but the faint of heart should be warned that the language is decidedly coarse, and the unwary should be prepared to see a fair amount of ‘older-man’ anatomy as the characters change from street clothes into their uniforms. The one downside to last Friday’s performance was the presence of some chatty audience members who evidently thought they were at a real hockey game. Vocal expressions of approval are surely welcome at a crowd-pleasing entertainment of this kind, but a running commentary is a hindrance to the enjoyment of the rest of the audience and a huge mark of disrespect for a fine group of hard-working players. Paul Cowhig creates an empathetic, thoroughly accessible character as former team captain Zack Taylor. He’s successful in bringing the audience into the play, while skilfully sketching a portrait of a man whose personality is essentially sunny and lighthearted, even though his NHL ambitions

Pat McDermott is a consistent delight as punch-drunk, pessimistic goalie Charlie Boyd. It’s a part that could have been made for this actor, and he makes the most of snarling epithets, dim-witted diatribes and the revelation of a softer side that turns out to be rather charming. Roger Meloche shows great finesse as French-Canadian player Pinkie LeVac. It’s a part that would tempt some actors to go right over the top, but Meloche manages the difficult feat of playing a stereotype without resorting to stereotype. It’s a calm, confident, realistic portrayal, creating a believably popular teammate while boosting a genuine sense of camaraderie that is important to the success of the play. Andrew Wood also does good work as the

team’s Jekyll and Hyde, C.J. MacDonald. Remembered as a savage, take-no-prisoners ‘enforcer’ on ice, C.J. has become an English teacher and a published pseudo-intellectual in the 25 years since he last strapped on skates. Wood brings out all of C.J.’s latterday sensitivity, while successfully suggesting the angry fires that are still smoldering under the surface. Lynne Karey-McKenna does well by an under-written role as Zack’s old flame, former radio announcer Samantha Brown, who is now a network producer creating a documentary on the championship team’s belated return to the ice. She invests the part with a sense of fun and a nice chemistry with Cowhig’s Zack and the rest of the team, suggesting a woman who could truly be “one of the guys.”

Keaton Mazurek has the voice and manner down as station CWAM’s boorish play-by-play announcer, balanced out by Dave Carroll’s good, grounded portrayal of knowing old-time colour commentator Jim. The set design, a collaboration between Pavilionis, Colin Fotherby, Andrea Olund and assistant director Gordon Gilmour, is ambitious but has been well-achieved, and Vanessa Klein’s and Eli Williams’ team logo for the Nestor Newtons adds a nice touch. Jasmine Hirtz’s costuming – augmented by authentic loaned equipment – is appropriate and realistic, while Gilmour’s and Tom Saunders’ sound design benefits immensely from Saunders’ musical knowhow in creating a suitably cheesy small town radio station ID. The Good Game runs until Feb. 23.

Young Haitian Wilna is featured in the documentary Haiti: Where Did The Money Go?, one of several films to be screened at The White Rock Social Justice Film Festival Feb. 22 and 23.

Festival returns for ninth year of thought-provoking documentaries

Films tackle tough issues Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Why is it that, two years after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and after generous donations from the rest of the world (close to $2 billion in the U.S. alone) some 600,000 residents were still living in squalor in tent cities? What kind of terrain would the $5.5 billion proposed Enbridge pipeline cross, and what risks does it pose to that environment? How did one Canadian farmer stand up to massive multinational Monsanto, which claimed he owed it money for genetically modified seed that had contaminated his land? If your mind craves answers to these questions, rather than the sleep-inducing pablum served up by mainstream television networks, the White Rock Social Justice Film Festival may be just what you’re looking for. The by-donation festival returns Feb. 22 and 23 with a ninth annual grouping of thought-

provoking documentaries, screened at First United Church (Buena Vista Avenue and Centre Street, White Rock). The seven films have been chosen to help inform the community, and provide support for neighbourhood action on important issues facing Canadians today. The festival is about keeping current with the kind of information that doesn’t always find its way onto the nightly news, according to festival president Glenn Miles and board members Phil DesRosiers, Eileen Spencer and Jack MacLachlan. While some of the information can be challenging and disturbing, they say, the event is not intended as a wallow in doom and gloom. In the opening film, for example – Four Horsemen (Feb. 22, 7 p.m.) – 23 international thinkers talk about how the world really works and why, against the odds, they feel there is still hope in re-establishing a

moral and just society. And, in keeping with a festival tradition, the closer finds an inspiring and upbeat note in the musical documentary Harry Belafonte: Sing Your Song (Feb. 23, 7 p.m.), tracing the social activism of the world-famous performer. There’s even inspiration in David Versus Monsanto (Feb. 23, 10 a.m.), detailing Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser’s fight in the courts challenging Monsanto’s claim that Roundup Ready canola plants found on his property were a deliberate infringement of the corporation’s patents. The festival’s monthly singlefilm screenings are attracting upwards of 100 viewers, helped by the resurgence of the documentary as a film form over the past decade – these are not the documentaries of old, organizers said. “Production values have increased quite a lot,” said Miles. “It makes communication of › see page 47

Local band Collect Call in top 10 of province-wide contest

Teen rockers seek B.C. title

Budding artists bloom here.

Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Calling all fans of White RockSouth Surrey alt-rock band Collect Call. There’s still a little time to vote online for the group in Youthink’s BC’s Best Teen Band Contest before voting closes on Feb. 18. The band, Elgin Park Grade 12 students Tom Lee (guitar/bass/ vocals), Alun Gunderson (guitar/bass/vocals) and Nick Babey (drums/percussion) and Earl Marriott Grade 11 student Lazar Todorovic (lead guitar) made the top 10 of the contest in October and are vying for a spot in the top three. If they make that, they’ll be battling for the top spot in a live finale April 27 at Vancouver’s Electric Owl. “The band is really excited and, frankly, honoured to be part of the top 10,” Babey said. “It’s a thrill to know that people are listening to the music, and hitting ‘vote’ every day. The support of family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers is overwhelming, and was not at all expected.” Lee and Babey first teamed with the idea of making a Christmas album in 2009. While they’ve yet to create one, they’ve made huge strides in every other way, particularly

After starting to write their own material and receiving a White Rock busking licence last summer, the band came into its own, finding a number of local gigs and placing third in the 2012 WRASA Kids Help Phone “Lighthouse” Talent Show in December. “It’s a great morale boost to

know that people are actually enjoying what the band plays, and to know that the years of work are paying off,” said Babey. “We hope that through the contest we will gain some publicity, and with it, the ability to play live more often.” For more information on Collect Call visit their facebook page at www.facebook.com/CollectCallMusic To vote for Collect Call, visit the contest website at http://www. youthink.ca/band-contest-2013

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Eight points over Chilliwack

Ravens raise $2,200

Eagles continue to soar

Working together Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

Rick Kupchuk

Black Press

n the race for first place in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division, the Surrey Eagles have put some serious distance between themselves and the Chilliwack Chiefs. What was a three-point edge for the Eagles a week ago has now grown to eight, with both the Chiefs and Surrey having just eight games to play. The Eagles played three times last week, earning five of a possible six points. Wrapped around a 3-2 overtime loss to the Coquitlam Express on the road Saturday night, Surrey posted wins over the Prince George Spruce Kings (5-2) Friday night and the Langley Rivermen (4-1) Sunday afternoon. Both victories came at the South Surrey Arena. The near-perfect weekend left the Eagles with a 30-12-2-4 (won-lost-tied-overtime loss) record. The Rivermen were dominated by the home team Monday, falling behind 1-0 and 2-0 at the period breaks, and were down 4-0 before a goal with seven minutes to go ended the shutout bid of Michael Santaguida. Brady Shaw scored twice for the Eagles, with Drew Best and Kevan Kilistoff adding powerplay goals to complete the scoring. Best and Adam Tambellini drew a pair of assists each. The weekend began with Shaw putting up three points in the win over Prince George. The 20-year-old from Ottawa assisted on Tambellini’s power play goal in the first period which broke a 1-1 tie, then drew an assist on a shorthanded effort from Brett Mulcahy. He netted his goal with one second remaining in the game, scoring into an empty net. Tommy Stipancik, also while shorthanded, and Joel Gaudet were the other Eagles goal scorers. Saturday in Coquitlam, the Eagles couldn’t hold on to the 2-0 lead they took into the third period, with Coquitlam winning in overtime. The Eagles will play next weekend, hosting the Nanaimo Clippers Friday night at 7 p.m. in the South Surrey Arena, before travelling to Chilliwack to play Saturday evening.

Raven’s goaltender Christian Plain holds out his hair, which he shaved last Friday in honour of his assistant coach’s wife, who was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. Plain and the team raised more than $2,200 to be donated to breast cancer research.

ometimes giving up a little can mean getting a lot more back. No one knows that better than members of the Semiahmoo Midget A1 Ravens who shaved their heads Friday night to show their support for assistant coach Kellan Thompson’s wife, Torrie, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The boys parted with their locks to raise more than $1,433 for charity, then added another $800 at their game Saturday night when they hosted a 50/50 draw. “The winner of the draw generously donated their winnings,” said Ravens’ spokesperson Connor Wong. “In three days, we came up with more than $2,200 for coach Kellen and his wife, Torrie, to donate to the charity of their choice.” The team came up with the idea after finding out about Torrie’s diagnosis and shared their plan with Ravens head coach Scott May. “It caught me off guard,” May said. “But it is who they are. It just goes to show you how considerate and thoughtful the team is and how close they are. We find strength within each other, and this is a great testament of that.” Wong said another highlight of the night was stepping out onto the ice and seeing the right side of South Surrey arena almost completely full of family and friends supporting the fundraiser and the team to their 7-1 win over Port Coquitlam. “At the end of the game, we saluted the crowd and showed off our newly shaved heads,” Wong said. “This was by far one of the most memorable nights of my life, and I speak on behalf of the rest of the team who made this happen. “I am so proud of my teammates, that we could do something so big and support someone very close to us.”

Eagle signs with Northern Michigan University

Surrey rookie nets NCAA deal Another Surrey Eagle has signed on the dotted line. Rookie blue-liner Jordan Klimek, 17, committed last month to attend Northern Michigan University beginning in the 2014/15 season. “I’m very excited about it,” Klimek said. “It took a bit to decide where I wanted to go, but I’m really excited about Northern Michigan and my future there.” This season, the Langley native has shown a knack for scoring big goals – three of his five tallies have been over-

time-winners, with his most recent coming Jan. 27 to lift the Eagles to a 2-1 win over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Klimek has five goals and 11 assists in 39 games this season. “He is a very talented young player that is only going to keep getting better,” said Eagles head coach/GM Matt Erhart. “Throughout this season he’s made some huge strides defensively, and at the same time, he’s scored some big goals for us. “He’s going to be a great college hockey player, and I think Northern Michigan is a great

Defenceman Brenden Dillon (left) races for the puck as a Dallas Star.

Surrey’s Brenden Dillon playing for Dallas

Suiting up for the Stars Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Surrey’s Brenden Dillon has cracked the roster of the National Hockey League’s Dallas Stars. The six-foot-three, 210-pound defenceman was called up from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League when the NHL lockout was lifted Jan. 13, and was still with the team when it played its first game six days later in Dallas against the Phoenix Coyotes. Dillon has suited up for the Dallas Stars’ first seven games, collecting a pair of minor penalties and one fighting major while averaging 17 minutes of ice time per game. After winning two of their first three

games, the Stars lost four in a row, one of which was in overtime. Dallas, which is tied for 11th place in the Western Conference with a 2-4-1 (won-loss-overtime loss), will visit Vancouver Feb. 15. Dillon began this season with the AHL’s Texas Stars, his third in Cedar Park, Texas. After playing 10 games in 2010-11 following the conclusion of his final year of junior hockey with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League, Dillon suited up for all 76 games with the Stars in 201112, scoring six times and adding 23 assists while assessed 119 minutes in penalties. He was called up to the Dallas Stars in April, seeing action in one NHL game.

Onni brings mix of homes to False Creek

Block 100 a taste of waterfront living Onni is bringing a taste of waterfront living to its newest development, Block 100. With 231 homes, Block 100 will include a mix of condominiums and townhomes, with a variety of floorplans. The development consists of three blocks: Quebec, Centre and Main. Located in southeast False Creek, Block 100 is perfectly situated for homeowners of all demographics.

The Seawall is right outside, and the Central Valley Greenway begins on your

The white gloss backsplash cabinetry offers plenty of storage. The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with heated porcelain tile floors, a linear-style deep soaker tub with a tiled front and a frameless glass shower and door with mosaic-tiled base and high-gloss wall tile. Homes start at $268,900. For more information visit onni.com/block100 or call 604-682-8801.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Maureen, in White Rock, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Mo will be lovingly remembered by her husband Laurie, her daughter, Sarah and her family Brandon and Ceilidh. Mo is survived by her family in England, sister Joan (Keith) and her nephew David (Janice) and niece Jane (Pim). She will be greatly missed by her forever friend, Audrey Nutter, whose shared adventures date back to the 1950’s when they were both new arrivals from the UK in Toronto. Mo was born in London and immigrated to Canada in 1956 where she married Laurie in 1965 in Toronto. Laurie’s employment took the family abroad to London and later to Washington DC, where her elegance charm and grace on the social circuit became her husband’s greatest asset. They retired to White Rock British Columbia in 1988. Mo leaves behind many great friends from around the world and here at home. A gathering to celebrate Mo and her life will take place at Hazelmere Country Club, Surrey, BC, on February 21, 2013 at Noon. We would welcome and encourage you to bring a memory!! “She will not be forgotten Because She is so easy to remember.” In lieu of flowers a donation to the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society made in Mo’s name would be a great tribute.

MacLennan, Patricia Ann (Patty) August 22, 1950 - February 4, 2013

Patty passed away peacefully with her family by her side at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. Her father, Ellis, predeceases her. She is lovingly survived by 2 daughters Jessica Needleman (Emile Reale) Auckland New Zealand, Melissa Needleman, White Rock, mother Audrey Rollefson, White Rock, brother Don (Theone) Diamond City, Alberta, 2 nieces Tessa (Jon) Brady, and Kailey MacLennan and great niece Ayden Brady. Patty was born in Edmonton, completed high school and university in Regina, and then moved to the coast, settling to White Rock in 1988. While raising her daughters (her pride and joy) she was devoted to teaching at Don Christian School in Cloverdale for 26 years. Patty’s closeness to her numerous relatives, friends and students were an inspiration to us all. Special thanks to those who showed so much love and caring, especially through her brief illness. Patty will be forever loved, remembered and missed. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, February 16, 2013, at 1 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Ave. Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Patty’s memory to the BC Cancer Agency. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
