City staff to investigate purchase, as Epcor proceeds with Total Water Quality Management project

White Rock ponders water-utility buy Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

City officials are looking into whether White Rock should try to buy its water utility. The council decision – made during a closed meeting Feb. 25 – was announced Friday afternoon. It comes in the midst of water-supplier Epcor’s application to B.C.’s deputy comptroller of water rights for approval to carry out $11-12 million in upgrades to the city’s water system.

The Edmonton-based company’s Total Water Quality Management project also aims to abide by a Fraser Health order to chlorinate the system by 2016. “The timing is right,” city manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News of council’s move. “Epcor is looking at doing significant infrastructure improvement. If the City of White Rock was ever thinking of acquiring the utility, the time would be now, before (Epcor) makes that investment.”

Staff have been directed to develop a business case to determine if the city should enter purchase negotiations. Bottrill said the process will not only examine the cost but also how the city would operate the utility. Epcor officials were given a heads-up prior to the decision being made public. Company spokesman Tim Le Riche said nothing formal has taken place, but “we’ll examine any materials they have or take part in any discussions that they ask us to.”

“For us, it’s business as usual for now. We know we’re doing the right thing when we’re going through the Total Water Quality Management project process with the regulator.” Friday was also the deadline for interested parties to file submissions in the hearing process; Epcor has until March 8 to respond. The city’s submissions include a request to postpone the regulator’s decision until the business case is complete, a process that’s expected to take 90 days.

Hunt targets Panorama

Provincial run for councillor Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Marvin Hunt is prepared to sit as MLA and serve as Surrey councillor at the same time, should he be elected to the provincial legislature. The 23-year veteran city councillor announced Thursday he will represent the BC Liberal party in SurreyPanorama in the provincial election May 14. The riding is without an incumbent, as MLA StephaMarvin Hunt nie Cadieux is Surrey councillor switching to Surrey-Cloverdale, which is being vacated by retiring Kevin Falcon. Hunt said he was approached last week by his longtime friend, Sukh Dhaliwal, to run in Surrey-Panorama. Dhaliwal had announced he would run for the Liberals there but stepped aside when it was revealed he was facing charges under the Canada Tax Act for failing to file taxes for one of his companies. Hunt told Black Press it was a difficult decision because he believes he is having great success on council. › see page 4

Rain is forecast for today and tomorrow, but those who missed out on the sun can take heart that sunny skies are expected for Thursday and Friday.

Convicted driver turns to highest court after losing appeal in death of toddler

Berner win would ‘blow away’ Crown Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The woman whose impaired and dangerousdriving convictions in the May 2008 death of toddler Alexa Middelaer were upheld by the B.C. Court of Appeal has now asked the country’s highest court to hear her case. Crown counsel John Gordon confirmed Thursday that Carol Ann Berner “has applied (to the Supreme Court of Canada) for leave to appeal from the decision.” He is not convinced she will succeed.

“I would be blown away if they were to grant leave on this application,” Gordon said, noting such applications are typically only granted if “the Supreme Court of Canada thinks… there’s issues of national or public importance, or if there are conflicting decisions on what the proper legal principles are coming from other provincial courts of appeal.” “There aren’t,” he said. “The governing legal principles are well-established.” Berner’s lawyer, David Tarnow, said he has “a good argument” to support the application,

which was made Feb. 5. “We now await their decision.” Tarnow acknowledged that only a small percentage of such applications are successful. Berner was found guilty in July 2010 of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, after losing control of her car on a Delta street, striking and killing four-year-old Alexa and seriously injuring her aunt. › see page 4

Surrey-White Rock MLA says BC Liberals seek answers after plan to woo ethnic voters revealed

Full confidence in scandal probe: Hogg Tom Fletcher & Alex Browne Black Press

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg says findings of an internal investigation into a plan to boost the party’s popularity with ethnic communities “can’t come soon enough” for him. Hogg, chair of the BC Liberal caucus, said Monday that the majority of members he has spoken to are “concerned and upset,” over allegations that non-partisan government staff resources were inappropriately redirected to help deliver ethnic votes to the party. But Hogg said caucus members also recognize the importance of waiting for findings of the investigation currently being conducted by John Dyble, Premier Christy

Clark’s deputy minister and head of the public service, before leaping to judgments. John Yap – whom Clark had appointed minister responsible for multiculturalism and minister of advanced education, innovation and technology – has stepped aside from his cabinet posts for the duration of Dyble’s review. No reason was immediately given for the move, announced by Clark at Peace Arch News’ press deadline Monday afternoon. Heading into an extended caucus meeting to deal with the fallout from the leaked plan – which has already led to the resignation of Clark’s long-time assistant, Kim Haakstad – caucus members remained united behind the premier. “We don’t want to react emotionally,” Hogg

said, prior to chairing the meeting. “We want to make sure we have the full information.” Hogg noted his caution and concern is shared by his Surrey-White Rock riding association president. The vice-president of the BC Liberals Surrey-Tynehead riding association, James Plett, resigned Friday over the controversy, later slamming the party on his blog for what he termed “a pattern of arrogance, deceit and downright unethical behaviour.” Cause of the furor is a 2012 draft strategy memo – leaked to the NDP opposition – that discusses ways to improve the governing party’s popularity with immigrant communities, including recruiting new members and spokespeople to call and write to ethnic

media outlets. NDP critics have also focused on the memo’s references to using government staff to compile lists of people in ethnic communities for use by the BC Liberal party. NDP house leader John Horgan said the involvement of senior premier’s office staff means Dyble is not sufficiently independent to do the review of the memo. Hogg said he has also been hearing from many concerned constituents on the issue. “They’re asking me how I feel and the answer is I’m very upset and disappointed with regard to the allegations, and eager to get more information about what actually happened,” he said, adding he has “full confidence and belief ” in the process now underway.

Stabbed over a smoke Police are looking for a man who stabbed a teen Friday evening because the youth wouldn’t give him a cigarette. At about 10:30 p.m., police were called to 72 Avenue near 134 Street, where they found a 17-year-old suffering from a stab wound to the abdomen. The youth told police his attacker approached wanting a cigarette but was told the teen didn’t have one. A verbal exchange occurred and the man struck the youth in the head and subsequently stabbed him. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 40 to 50 years of age, with grey hair and a beard, about 5’1” and 150 lbs. He wore a lightcoloured sweater and blue jeans. Anyone with information should call RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Persistent stranger Police were called to a South Surrey neighbourhood last week after a trio of students reported being offered a ride by a stranger. Surrey School District spokesperson Doug Strachan said a note was sent home to parents of students at Morgan and Rosemary Heights elementaries, following the Tuesday afternoon incident. According to the letter to parents, “the man was persistent, but the boys turned him down.” Strachan told Peace Arch News a parent notified police and that the letter was sent both as an advisory and to mitigate potential rumours. “We will send a letter home in situations like this as much to let parents know as to address things getting blown out of proportion,”

Man stuffed in trunk Police are looking for a pair of men who apparently stuffed another man into the trunk of a car in North Surrey and took off. At about 5:50 p.m. Saturday, RCMP received reports after three men exited a Mercedes Benz at Central City Shopping Centre. Two of them put the third man into the vehicle’s trunk and drove off. “Until proven otherwise and for obvious safety reasons, we are assuming this to be a real incident,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “We ask (that) anyone who might have witnessed this incident to call police immediately.”

Cross-border trucking route crucial, says B.C. transportation minister

Interchange ‘not just for commuters’ Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Construction of the 16 Avenue interchange on Highway 99 is officially underway. The project was launched Friday morning at a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, Transportation Minister Mary Polak, MLAs Gordon Hogg (Surrey-White Rock), Stephanie Cadieux (Surrey-Panorama) and Dave Hayer (Surrey-Tynehead), contractors and a phalanx of media. The $24-million project will see freeway on- and off-ramps added to 16 Avenue, and the busy thoroughfare widened to four lanes between Highway 99 and King George Boulevard. The City of Surrey and TransLink will contribute $7.2 million to the overall project. The new interchange is expected to better accommodate cross-border traffic and also improve connectivity between South Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, as well as divert

trucks from 32 Avenue. “I don’t have to tell you all how fast Surrey is growing,” said Polak, MLA for neighbouring Langley. “Infrastructure like this is desperately needed – not just as a commuter route, but also as a trucking route, getting goods to the CanadaU.S. border.” Phase 1 of the project is to include the demolition of the existing underpass and construction of a new six-lane structure. Langley company Tybo Contracting has been awarded the $7.9-million contract. The second phase – a contract for which is to be awarded in April – will include the construction of the four ramps. The interchange is expected to be complete by October 2014. Watts said the project was vital to the continued growth of Surrey, especially with regard to moving goods through the city and the entire Metro Vancouver region.

“We have 700,000 trucks moving across the border each year,” she said. “When we look at how we move goods through the region, it’s important to look at (this kind) of infrastructure… it’s crucial.” The new highway interchange has not been without detractors, however. When the project was first announced last September, residents of nearby Cherry Brook mobile home park – at 16 Avenue and 162 Street – were upset the southbound off-ramp would run directly behind the park. “I’m a bit concerned it will devalue the property,” Cherry Brook resident Pat O’Connor said at the time. “Can you imagine the traffic on 16th? It’s going to be awful.” After residents’ concerns were heard by the project’s design consultants, R.F. Binnie and Associates, the proposal was amended to include new left-turn lanes on either side of the overpass, including one into the mobile home park.

Byelection could be avoided: Hunt › from page 1 If Hunt wins, he could hold both seats on Surrey council and in the B.C. legislature. If he doesn’t stay on city council, it would force a civic byelection. Hunt said that if it was council’s will, he would keep his civic duties until Jan. 1, 2014 so as not to force a $600,000 byelection. The municipal election is in November 2014, so his seat could remain vacant after Jan. 1 of that year. As to critics who say he’d be triple-dipping – with remuneration coming from three levels of government – Hunt said he would would step down from his Metro Vancouver duties and donate his civic salary to local charities. Hunt has served on several civic, regional and national committees (he sits on the board of

directors at Metro Vancouver), and has travelled internationally as a board member representing the Americas on the Commonwealth Local Government Forum and the United Cities and Local Government. Hunt’s council colleagues said his absence would be felt in the city if he stepped down. “He’s such a great asset to the City of Surrey,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “He’s done such incredible work within the city, regionally, nationally and internationally, that it will be a huge loss.” Said Coun. Linda Hepner: “He has a long history and he’s been a strong partner at the council table. He brings logic, rationale, a reasoned approach and a strong history around issues of policy that many of us do not have.”

Hunt says he’s taking no position on the recent BC Liberal controversy over strategies to garner more of the ethnic vote. “My perspective is I’m here to run a free-enterprise campaign, that’s where my focus is,” Hunt said. “I’ve got a whole diverse community that I’m working with from all ethnic backgrounds, and I want everyone to be on board and working together.” So far, other Surrey-Panorama candidates include New Democrat Amrik Mahil, president of Black Top and Checker Cabs, and Sara Sharma, an entrepreneur and realtor running for the Green Party. In 2009, the riding saw Cadieux garner 54 per cent of the vote, compared to New Democrat Debbie Lawrance’s 40 per cent.

editorial

Election dates should be fixed

ne of the issues that has been debated as B.C. gets set for a provincial election is whether the fixed election date should be changed. When then-Opposition leader Gordon Campbell promised a fixed election date, long before the 2001 election was held, he was a pioneer. No provincial government, and certainly not the federal government, had even suggested fixed election dates. Premiers and prime ministers wanted to keep the power of when to call an election to themselves, and give their parties the greatest possible advantage. Thus if the party was doing quite well, as the Social Credit Party did under W.A.C. Bennett, an election was called every three to four years. When a party was facing annihilation, as the federal Conservatives were in 1993 and the NDP was in B.C. in 2001, the government would stretch its term out to the maximum of five years. Campbell was true to his word and set up fixed elections. There have now been two of them, in 2005 and 2009, and the third is set for May 14 this year. Other provinces and even the federal government have followed suit, although in the case of Ottawa, it has yet to abide by a fixed date, largely due to the fact the first two Stephen Harper governments were minority governments. A number of observers have suggested that B.C. would be best to hold its elections in the fall, after the audited books for the previous fiscal year have been made available to the public. It is obvious from this year’s budget (and indeed from the 2009 budget) that budgets produced just before an election have more to do with attracting votes than managing public finances. All provinces except Nova Scotia have now set fixed election dates. All but Alberta hold their elections in the fall months – September, October or November. B.C. would be wise to follow suit. No matter which party is elected on May 14, a move towards holding the next election in September 2017 would make a lot of sense. September would be the best choice, given that municipal elections are held in November, and there will be occasions where both are held in the same year. The fixed date for a federal vote is in October. While it is unlikely to see elections in the same year (the next federal date is likely Oct. 19, 2015), any likely conflict should be avoided.

JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant development. If China, for example, could significantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact. Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part, that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emissions. TF: International Energy Agency talks about self-sufficiency in the U.S., oil and gas, by 2035. What does that mean for the Canadian economy? JO: Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to be self-sufficient in oil. North America will be self-sufficient in gas and oil. What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find new markets, and for oil we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply. The United States will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands. Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

Height of controversy Editor: Re: Muffler-site height conceded, Feb. 28. The statement, “The extra two feet had been requested following a miscalculation – missed by the city and developer alike – that led to residential units of one building being designed to start below the floodplain” is incorrect. The extra two feet for Building 1, facing Marine Drive, had nothing to do with the floodplain miscalculation. It was all about getting more height to add an additional floor. Only Building 2, at Oxford and Buena Vista, was impacted by the miscalculation. The developer had also removed green space and added a townhouse block which made the development far more densely packed with buildings than the original approved proposal. Cindy McMullen, White Rock Editor’s note: According to the city, the two-foot request was triggered by the floodplain miscalculation, reportedly to “balance” the resulting difference in building heights.

Reductions a taxing issue Editor: Re: Regressive tax cons the poor, Feb. 21 letters. Letter-writer J. Edwards says that the sole purpose of the carbon tax is to provide government revenue. Any tax provides revenue. The carbon tax has the added benefit of discouraging the use of fossil fuels. Drastic cutbacks of fossil-fuel use are needed. A substantial carbon tax is the only way to make it happen. The problem is not B.C.’s carbon tax, but the way in which compensating reductions were done. As Edwards said, the poor got poorer. The tax should be made revenue neutral to all income groups, especially the poor. The tax increases the cost of not only gasoline, but of all fossil fuels and all products that need them for production and distribution. Increased sales tax credits are needed to compensate low-income people who pay little or no income tax. Other compensating factors could be lower MSP premiums, higher non-refundable tax credits and lower sales tax. Municipalities and school boards could be compensated by more cash from the government. After all the numbers are crunched, some percentage reduction of income tax would probably turn out to be appropriate as well. All of the increased revenue should be spent on these compensating reductions rather than on green projects. The extra cost of fuel should be enough that green projects would be paid for

by savings and profits. Increases in carbon tax should be gradual to allow time for people to adapt. A wealthy person who heats and air conditions a 10,000-square-foot home, or burns 2,000 gallons per day of diesel fuel in a yacht, would end up paying more. These changes should eliminate the problems that Edwards pointed out. Bill McConnell, Surrey

Policing the issue a fine line Editor: Re: Light penalties the wrong call, Feb. 28 letters. The more interesting part of the letter by C.J. Mitton isn’t the law, but rather that some of the worst offenders of using hand-held devices, especially phones, while driving are the police themselves. This isn’t an attack on the police, but rather their ability to get away with what others get charged with. I’ve only once seen a police car pull over before using a hand-held cellphone, while they repeatedly take their eyes off the road to type on the in-car computer. It’s amazing there are as few policeinvolved incidents as there are.

Confiscation of devices isn’t a viable option, as at $38 per hour per cop, it would be just too expensive to manage a warehouse full of devices, which would amass faster than anyone would expect. Just increasing the fine to prohibitive rates would help bring this practice to a standstill, as would greater police alertness in catching offenders. The cost of a single ticket in time, police costs and court costs is far greater than the fine itself. Building in all the costs into the fine would make a single ticket well over $1,000 per offence. J. Cooper, Surrey

Editor: I’m writing this with appreciation to President Barack Obama’s state of the union speech. I was grateful to hear him address key issues including poverty, middleclass concerns and gun control. I was pleased when he addressed the Wisconsin Sikh Temple Tragedy, as this was a devastating incident. His recognition of the policeman who was wounded reflects efforts towards ending gun violence. The Sikh community should be proud of his speech, as he denounced this tragic event. I believe this is one of the first times the president puts forward his social agenda and clearly intends on focusing on the middle-class folks. His efforts are needed more than ever, as the people’s voice will only become stronger and louder. I believe his focus on the key issues is one to be taken as an example for our leading government.

Books selected for themed exhibits at Semiahmoo Library need to be age-appropriate, Carol De Boeck writes.

Display considers the audience Editor: Re: Why not tell the whole story, Feb. 26 letters. I would like to note that the Black History Month display (letter-writer Bob Burgel) mentions is located in the Children’s Department at Semiahmoo Library and therefore features a selection of titles appropriate for that age group. I can assure Mr. Burgel and other readers that The Hanging of Angelique is on display as part of the adult selection of titles to celebrate Black History month, while Lawrence Hill’s excellent The Book of Negroes has been displayed on several occasions. Display selections turn over rapidly. A title may not be available because it has been checked out by one of our customers.

In addition to themed displays to recognize events such as Black History Month, our Staff Picks, New Books, SuperLoan and topical titles from our many booklists offer a wide range of items for customers to choose from.

Fraud suspect arrested in U.S. Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey man has been arrested and charged in the U.S. for allegedly being a member of the “coffee shop gang” accused of bilking B.C. Starbucks customers and others of more than $200,000. According to Seattle district court documents, debit and credit cards were skimmed by the alleged fraudsters at several Vancouver Starbucks locations, as well as the Dirty Apron café. Clone cards were then made and the victims’ money was withdrawn in the U.S., say police. It’s estimated $209,210 was stolen and the gang tried unsuccessfully to withdraw another

$385,000. Police expect to make more arrests and identify additional victims in the scam. The U.S. probe began in December 2012 when and investigator at Boeing Employees Credit Union noticed a group of people trying to make suspicious withdrawals from multiple ATM machines in Seattle. According to court documents, he discovered the group had made regular trips to withdraw cash: twice in both December and January, and again Feb. 2. Dennis Nguyen is charged with possession of bank card-making equipment.

Man facing theft charges A man charged with six counts of theft under $5,000 in connection with incidents in White Rock earlier this year is expected to plead guilty to the charges this month in Surrey Provincial Court. According to court records, Vincent David Rawlinson is to appear March 6. - Tracy Holmes

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin (second from right) takes a look at the unveiled billboard last year.

City OKs billboard renewal Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock has OK’d a Highway 99 billboard for another year, citing positive response from tourists. Last week, city council unanimously approved splitting the approximately $40,000 cost for the promotional signage – located just north of the Douglas (Peace Arch) border crossing – with the White Rock Business

Improvement Association. The 10-foot-by-40-foot sign was erected as a pilot project last April, bearing photography donated by White Rock resident Tim Shields. It was hoped to encourage more northbound travellers to check out what the city has to offer. According to director of financial services Sandra Kurylo, it has led to 39,305 visitors on the city website – an increase of 51 per

cent – in the last nine months. Of that number, 66 per cent were new visitors to the site. “(New visitors) indicated that they found out about the site through the billboard,” Kurylo told council. Kurylo also noted that approximately 1.7 million visitors pass the sign when heading northbound on the highway. Cost to the city will be $20,070, to come from reserves.

Unescorted leave denied 20 years after attack

Double-murderer ‘still a risk’ Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A man serving jail time for murdering two Surrey teenagers in 1993 has been denied unescorted day trips. John Joseph Arneil was 18 when he shot and killed 16-year-old Chris Lussier and 15-year-old Paul McDaniel on Sept. 11, 1993. He also tried to kill then-17-yearold Richard Moisan, who was shot in the face but survived, a bullet still lodged in the back of his neck. Arneil is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 20 years for two convictions of second-degree murder and one of attempted murder. A Feb. 15 decision from the Parole Board of Canada says that months before the murders, Arneil decided to kill one of the people he believed raped his girlfriend. The day the teens were killed, Arneil confronted the group on a Surrey street, told them to stay put, drove his girlfriend home and returned with a gun. Moisan told Black Press in 1993 that Arneil drove him, Lussier and McDaniel to an area beneath the Pattullo Bridge. Arneil ordered Lussier out of the car, said “adios” and executed him. He then turned the gun on Moisan and McDaniel. Moisan pretended he was dead and later called 911 and identified

Arneil as the shooter. Eight years after the incident, Arneil’s girlfriend admitted she lied about the rape. Now 37, Arneil recently requested unescorted temporary absences from jail “for personal development and family contact.” The parole board, however, has deemed the unsupervised day trips too risky. The decision referred to the “ongoing harm” and “long-lasting negative impact” Arneil’s crime caused the victims’ families and Moisan. The document also describes how Arneil was violent and disruptive when initially incarcerated, but that AheAd! his behaviour PlAn

improved and, in 2007, he was transferred to a minimum security prison. In July 2010, the parole board allowed a 60-day unescorted absence for Arneil to attend an aboriginal substance-abuse treatment program. In November of the same year, the board allowed a second visit to the same program, in spite of the fact he breached his release conditions a month earlier. It was revealed upon his return that he had also used a cellphone to contact people outside the institution, a pornographic DVD was found in his room, and he was part of a group that threatened other inmates. Arneil was transferred to medium security in January 2011 and back to minimum security in November 2011. Last July, the board denied a bid for day parole, noting Arneil’s “inability to explain the extreme and callous level of violence” in the 1993 murders. In the most recent denial, the parole board acknowledges Arneil has taken responsibility for his offences and has “made good progress in addressing” his risk, but that a longer period of compliance and stability is necessary. It’s noted in the Feb. 15 decision that Arneil hasn’t been accepted into a treatment program and a psychological opinion suggests he’d need “intensive supervision.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Kilimanjaro climb a ‘life-altering’ experience

New perspective on the roof of Africa Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

fter months of preparing, Erin Little finally reached her destination. Stepping out of the plane onto the soil in Tanzania on a warm January day, it hit her: she was in Africa about to embark on a life-changing adventure. Once settled into her hotel, she looked around and thought to herself, “Oh my god, what have I done?” The South Surrey resident was only hours away from climbing the world’s highest free-standing mountain – Kilimanjaro – and she was going to do it with a group of strangers. “I didn’t know anybody, I didn’t know where I was and I just kept thinking why wouldn’t I climb somewhere at home,” she said. “My whole world started to crumble. I was having a mini-meltdown.” The avid hiker had to calm down and remember her goal to reach the peak in order to complete her challenge to raise $10,000 for the BC SPCA, an effort she began in early December through Charity Challenge – a travel company that sets up participants with challenges all over the world in order to fundraise for a cause of their choice. Following a good night’s rest – and some encouraging messages from friends – Little set out to meet the rest of the group that would embark on the grueling 19,341-foot ascent. The rag-tag collection of British travellers included a 21-year-old celebrating her birthday, two twins supporting a British charity and a woman who was encouraged by her husband to make the trip, Little said. “They all had their own charities and reasons for coming,” she said. Shortly after, the group met their porters and tour guides from The African Walking Company and set off to the camp where they would prepare for the six-day climb. To Little’s surprise, the landscape

With the care and expertise of the porters, the group returned to base camp, where they rested while the staff prepared for yet another climb with another group. “I just thought, we think this was so amazing and wonderful, but these people do it every day.

Ticket holders for the second annual Oneness Gogo’s fundraising dinner Thursday were transported halfway across the globe without ever leaving the Peninsula. Into The Heart of Africa featured a traditional African dinner consisting of dishes including chicken yassa, an African vegetable stew and a sweet malva pudding to finish off the meal. The sold-out fundraiser will benefit the South Surrey/White Rock grandmothers’ cause – the Stephen Lewis Foundation – which supports African grandmothers caring for their grandchildren. “The foundation created a Dare to Dine challenge which was taken up all across Canada. It could be something as simple as having neighbours over for lunch or doing a community dinner, like we are doing,” co-ordinator Penny Cuddy said. The African theme continued throughout the night with entertainment by performers including Rhythm Well and Kesseke Yeo from dance company West meets West. The goal was “to make you feel like you’ve walked into Africa,” Cuddy said. The fundraiser was hoped to raise at least $4,000. Last month, the gogos cel-

New bakery to be a natural fit for White Rock Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A trip to White Rock’s waterfront is about to get a bit sweeter thanks to a new all-natural bakery-café and ice cream shop set to open March 16. Taking over the location of Andy’s Gourmet Desserts & Ice Cream Café on Marine Drive, Spiritual Ingredients will be headed by fourth-generation pastry chef and owner Alex ❝It’s what Bois-Bonifasupports my drive cio. for the ecological The ecoconversation.❞ friendly and fair-trade Alex Bois-Bonifacio bakery has pastry chef been a dream of Bois-Bonifacio’s, who studied ecological theology at the Vancouver School of Theology, completing three out of four years of a masters degree in divinity. “It’s a big foundation to the business. It’s what supports my drive for the ecological conversation or what I like to call the ‘conservation conversation,’” the Steveston resident explained. To that end, Bois-Bonifacio – who is five months pregnant – plans to donate $1 from the sale of each of her cupcakes to charities that correspond to the endangered animal depicted on the treat. The critters include burrowing owls,

Burke, who was tapped for the position by chance when BoisBonifacio’s mother was scouring the Internet for the name of a Brazilian coffee company.

“She Googled ‘bakery’, ‘Brazil’ and up came Patrice’s story about winning gold at an international baking competition in Brazil,” Bois-Bonifacio said. “We knew it was a long shot, but we contacted her to see if she had a job.” Fortunately, Burke, who hails from Nova Scotia, took on the position and will be rounding out the duo’s skillset. “She will fill in the areas I need and vice versa,” Bois-Bonifacio said. And for those who shy away from indulging in pastries due to allergies, Bois-Bonifacio – who has allergies herself – offers nutfree options, as well as in-house gelato and sorbetto. As the grand opening nears, Bois-Bonifacio said obstacles along the way have been worth it. “I grew up playing varsity baseball – if you don’t put blood, sweat and tears in every game, you’re not playing hard enough. Same thing with a business, if you really want to be successful you have to put your whole self into it – your whole heart,” she said. “We’re happy and excited to get started. It’s been a year-long struggle for both the baby side and the business side, and it’s a happy coincidence to have them both come together. We’ll happily jump both feet in.”

Surrey adds to point total with weekend win over Cowichan

Eagles to face Rivermen in first round Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles had a light schedule last weekend, winning their only game Sunday afternoon 6-2 against the Cowichan Valley Capitals. But the more important news to come out of the weekend for the South Surrey BC Hockey League club was the announcement that they’ll face the Langley Rivermen in the first round of playoffs. The Eagles – who clinched first place in the Mainland Division two weekends ago – and Rivermen will ❝Heading into hit the ice for playoffs, you their best-ofseries in throw out the five less than two regular-season weeks, with records.❞ the first two games slated Matt Erhart for South Eagles coach Surrey Arena on Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16, with the next two contests at the Langley Events Centre, Monday and Tuesday the following week. A fifth game, if necessary, will be played Wednesday, March 20 in South Surrey. The Eagles finished the regular season with 10 more wins and 21 more points than the Rivermen, and the Birds also dominated their Langley rivals in head-to-head play. In eight games this season, the Eagles have won seven, including a 10-2 drubbing in midJanuary. But Surrey’s head coach wasn’t paying too much attention to the numbers, a day after his team’s win over the Capitals. “Heading into playoffs, you throw out the regular-season records,” Matt Erhart said. “Every team is tough once playoffs start. It’s a short series, a real grind playing almost every day, so anything can happen. “And Langley’s been playing really well lately. Since Christmas, really, I think the only team they’ve had trouble with is us.”

File photo

After facing off eight times in the regular season – with the Eagles winning seven – Surrey and the Langley Rivermen will play in the post-season. Langley also boasts the BCHL’s leading scorer in Mario Puskarich, who has 41 goals and 87 points in 54 games this season – 16 points clear of the league’s secondleading scorer. “We have played them eight times, so we know a lot about what they’re about, so that’s a plus,” Erhart added. Erhart was pleased with the post-season matchup with regard to travel, or lack thereof.

“The last couple seasons we’ve started the playoffs against a team on the Island, so there’s been a lot more travel, but this time, travelwise, it’s the best matchup we could ask for,” he said. On Sunday, the Birds hosted the Capitals at South Surrey Arena in the team’s second-last home game of the regular season. Michael Stenerson led the charge with a four-point game – scoring once and adding three assists

– while Adam Tambellini also scored twice. Defencemen Devon Toews and Craig Wyszomirski each chipped in with two assists. The game was tied 1-1 after the first period, before the Eagles pulled away in the latter half of the game, scoring five goals in 31 minutes. “We had a bit of a slow start, which was expected after only having the one game and having gave the guys a couple days off

this week, but we got through that and started scoring some goals,” Erhart said, adding that, with so many players still out with injuries he “couldn’t afford to rest anybody.” “If we rested guys we wouldn’t have enough to play,” he laughed. The team played without captain Bretty Mulcahy, Demico Hannoun, defenceman Troy Paterson and backup netminder Glenn Ferguson.

WRCA, Elgin Park and Semiahmoo to play in B.C. tournaments

Warriors second in Valley Grove and Pitt Meadows, respectively.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The White Rock Christian Warriors will head to B.C. Boys AAA High School Basketball Championships as a top-four seed after placing second in the Fraser Valley. Saturday at the Langley Events Centre, WRCA dropped a 73-64 decision to the Walnut Grove Gators, despite a fourth-quarter comeback attempt that fell just short. White Rock trailed entering the final quarter, but fought back to tie the game briefly, before the Gators again pulled away for the win. Walnut Grove’s Jadon Cohee was named tournament MVP, and three Warriors were named all-stars – Tyus Allen and Vartan Tanelian were picked for the first team, while Sam Ykema was named a secondteam all-star. Prior to Saturday’s final, both Walnut Grove and White Rock Christian had already qualified for provincials;

OBITUARIES

CARSON, Winnifred Sept. 21, 1911- Feb. 20, 2013 Passed away peacefully with family by her side. Pre-deceased by her first husband Bill Davis, second husband Gordon Carson and youngest son Ken Davis. Survived by her son Bob Davis (Marguerite), daughter-in-law Heather Nielsen (Ken), seven grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; warm friend, lovely person and strong woman. No service by request. The family would appreciate donations to your favourite charity in lieu of ﬂowers. She is Loved and Will be Missed.

Merritt, Orpha Marie Marie passed away peacefully and with graceful dignity at Peace Arch Hospital in the early hours of February 20, 2013 after a sudden and brief illness. Keith, her devoted partner was by her side. She lived 85 very full years, embracing much change with her trademark cheerful optimism. She was born in 1927 to Helen and Percy Galbraith near Camden Township, Ontario and grew up on the idyllic family farm at Varty Lake, near Yarker. She taught elementary school as a young woman and married Strat Merritt in 1951. They settled in Kingston and in 1961, by which time they had three children, the family ventured out west when Strat was transferred with his work with the Penitentiary Service. They established a home in Coquitlam and welcomed two more children to complete the family. The family enjoyed summers in the Okanagan and took many road trips across the country to maintain ties with family and friends in southern Ontario. Later, Strat and Marie relished adventures in their RV with the two youngest children, Sherri and Todd. Marie was known for her meticulous and organized home; foremost, she was devoted to her family and took great delight in recently welcoming her first great grandchild Livia and last year, two new grandsons, Nolan and Calian. Everything she became involved in, from lawn bowling, to her lifelong connection to her sorority Beta Sigma Phi, to her enduring devotion to the United Church, she embraced with enthusiasm. She tackled new activities later in life with equal energy and interest: walking/hiking, cross-country skiing and even backpacking in Europe. She developed a love of travel in the last 20 years and she and Keith ventured to many locales; their last great adventure was a cruise to the Baltics and North Atlantic in September 2012. She proved to be a life long learner and adventurer, and her youthful vitality has left an enduring impression on many friends and acquaintances. Marie was predeceased by her loving husband Gilbert Stratford Merritt in 1992. She is survived by her partner of sixteen years Keith Scholtz; her and Strat’s children Susan (Tom), Robert (Karen), Laurie (Gene), Sherri (Steve), Todd (Eva); grandchildren Jason, Amy (Mike), Nolan, Calian; great-granddaughter Livia . She is also survived by her brother Robert (Joan) and niece Kathy in Ontario. Also saddened greatly by her passing are Keith’s children Jean (Derrick), Michele (Barry), Paul (Anne), Susan (Derek), his nephew Paul (Nel Marie), their families, and relatives in South Africa. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Field for his care of Marie and the whole family over the last difficult weeks. Also, many thanks to all the staff at Peace Arch Hospital who participated in Marie’s care in such a gentle and kind manner. Memorial Service to be held March 9 at 2pm Sunnyside United Church 15639 24th Avenue, Surrey BC. Donations to the Terry Fox Foundation or Sunnyside Church in Marie’s memory would be appreciated by the family. Condolences may also be offered online at: www.firstmemorialfuneral.com
