Two girls describe young attackers to police

Four arrested after alleged sex assault Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Police have arrested four Surrey teenagers in relation to an alleged sex assault of two girls in a Newton park early Thursday morning. According to Surrey RCMP, two 16-year-old girls were confronted

by four young men at a park at 135 Street and 62A Avenue, near Northridge Elementary, at about 1 a.m. The girls reported that their alleged attackers took their cellphones and assaulted them sexually. Police arrived and obtained

descriptions of the group and their car. Moments later, officers spotted a vehicle and occupants matching the descriptions. All of the occupants are known to police. Four young males – including two under age 18 – were taken into

custody. Police did not disclose the exact ages of the accused. As of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Monday, police had not announced charges. Investigation is ongoing. With warmer weather on the way, police are urging caution to people

who frequent parks later in the day. “With summer approaching and the evenings getting warmer, we’ll see more people outside hanging out in parks,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “Be aware of where you’re at, your surroundings and use smart and common sense.”

Ultralight pilot parachutes 300 feet to safety Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Optional safety equipment installed on an ultralight trike is being credited with saving the life of a veteran pilot who crashed into a South Surrey blueberry field Monday. “You invest in them and you hope you never use them,” Victor Okunev, co-owner of Open Skies Aviation, said of the ballistic parachute he believes saved his partner, Mikhail Gavrikov. “In case something goes wrong with the

aircraft and it becomes non-flyable, you can deploy that parachute and basically it takes the whole setup… down. “The pilot had deployed it and it worked, it saved his life, so everything kind of went according to the safety procedures.” Okunev said the White Rock man was doing a test flight for a friend when the crash occurred. Police were called to the scene – near King George Boulevard and Colebrook Road – around 8:15 a.m., and Gavrikov was taken to

hospital with a leg injury. The pilot’s femur was broken in the crash, said Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Warren Tyson, noting initial investigation indicates a mechanical failure occurred during the flight. According to the police report, witnesses reported hearing a sound come from the opencockpit craft just prior to the crash. “It looks like a cable broke on one of the wings,” Tyson said. › see page 4

Egg-cellent hunters

About 200 youngsters, armed with baskets and bags, launched their quest for goodies at the Sullivan Community Association’s annual Easter egg hunt at Sullivan Park in Surrey on Sunday.

White Rock estimates $250,000 generated annually

Suite fees supported Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock is one step closer to charging a $250 fee to residents who have secondary suites in their homes. Council unanimously passed first, second and third readings last week on Bylaw 2009, which would establish the fee. Presented March 25 by the city’s director of financial services, Sandra Kurylo, the proposed bylaw would offset the cost of city services, including infrastructure, incurred as

a result of additional demand through tenants of secondary suites. The $250 fee would be charged annually per secondary suite and is estimated to generate $250,000 a year. “The funds would be earmarked to be one of the funding sources for major infrastructure improvements,” Kurylo said, adding that Surrey and Abbotsford already have similar fees in place. The fee can also be prorated for secondary suites which are only occupied for a portion of the year, Kurylo noted.

Sewage-system replacement to cost White Rock up to $250,000 more

‘Unforeseen’ asbestos found in city pipes Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A project to replace storm and sanitary sewers on Marine Drive is expected to cost White Rock at least $225,000 more than initially anticipated. And while council gave unanimous support to spending up to $250,000 more if necessary, at least two of the politicians expressed concern – questioning not only the bump, but why the problems that triggered it, including asbestos, weren’t identified from the get-go. “I think when you’ve got an engineer looking at the job, they should

go down there with a camera,” Coun. Al Campbell said last week, following an explanation of the “unforeseen” change orders by Greg St. Louis, the city’s director of engineering and municipal operations. “We have very sophisticated engineering, we can take video, we can dig holes and we can go digging,” Campbell said. “We do have money as it happens in this particular case, but these are very, very large numbers. “And the word ‘unforeseen’ and not knowing we had asbestos pipe in the ground, well, a video camera would have shown you that.”

The project – replacing the sewers from Bishop Road to High Street – had an original budget of $1,734,000, of which $1,322,200 was approved last October. According to St. Louis, the change orders – totaling more than $225,000 – “were beyond what could be reasonably expected to be covered by standard project contingency.” He told council a large portion of the extra charges stemmed from the discovery of asbestos in the pipes “and the proper measures to dispose of it and obtain the material.” “That accounted for $150,000 and was not estimated in the contin-

gency that we had planned,” he said. Going over the list of 13 change orders, and three contemplated orders, Campbell questioned the validity of at least two – referring to work done on Magdalen Road – as road work had been completed less than two years ago. “Magdalen is brand new, built 18 months ago, what work at Magdalen was needed? Replacing a sidewalk? Did the engineer miss it?” he said. “There are a lot of items here that require a second look.” Coun. Larry Robinson echoed Campbell’s sentiment, noting there were five change orders that were

more than $25,000 each. “Is there a point with the change orders where we have a process that kicks in so we can see a more detailed invoice when it exceeds a certain amount?” he asked. However, St. Louis noted all change orders are pre-examined thoroughly. “There is no dollar amount associated with that, every change order is looked at individually with the same due diligence, if it’s $1,000 or $50,000,” he said. Council unanimously approved the change orders. Work is to be completed by the end of the month.

Great concern: acting mayor

Warning issued over online predator Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A convicted online predator with a high-risk of reoffending is making Surrey his home, the provincial corrections branch is warning. Jeffrey Goddard, 23, has a criminal history including “inviting, counselling or inciting a person under 16 to touch any person, as well as communicate via computer to lure child under 16,” according to a BC Corrections Branch release. Goddard’s court-ordered conditions include bans on communicating with anyone under age 18 and establishing a social-networking site. Goddard is five-footnine and weighs 150 pounds. He is Caucasian with brown hair and green eyes. He offended against boys and girls in an opportunistic and predatory manner, the correcJeffrey Goddard tions branch reported. targeted children In several instances, courts heard that Goddard began his online interaction posing as “Julia.” He would post pictures of a girl for boys, saying that was him. He also posed as a police officer and TV producer. In one case, two 13-year-old boys were on their way to meet him when they learned of his ruse through the media. Goddard was released in February 2012, and the Abbotsford Police Department issued a public notice at that time. Recent charges stem from his posing on Facebook last summer as a landscaper, hiring two teen boys to do yard work at his residence, and communicating online with a teen boy – or boys – in Florida and California. Acting mayor Barinder Rasode said she is upset Goddard has landed in Surrey. “I don’t believe (that in) the justice system he would have received the appropriate support and counselling in place for him to manage the behaviours he is accused of committing,” she said Thursday. “So that does cause me great concern that he’ll be moving into a neighbourhood where we have more children than any other city in Canada.” ~with files from Vikki Hopes

Marijuana users may want to be careful what information they provide at the U.S. border, according to a lawyer in Blaine, Wash.

Pot smokers interrogated under oath at U.S. border

Softer drug stance blindsides users Jeff Nagel Black Press

Pot-smoking B.C. residents are increasingly being banned from entering the U.S. as American border guards try to stem the flow of Canadian marijuana tourists in the wake of Washington State’s weed-legalization vote late last year. Blaine lawyer Len Saunders said he’s seeing more cases of B.C. residents being permanently denied entry after trying to carry pot across the border, thinking it’s no longer an issue. Because marijuana is now legal to possess under state law, Canadians caught bringing less than an ounce across aren’t charged, as they were in the past. “I’m seeing no prosecutions – zero since November,” Saunders said. “But there’s more confusion.” What happens now, he said, is pot-packing Canucks have their stash confiscated and are then interrogated under oath about

Project proposed in 2005

Superstore site takes shape Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Public curiosity runs high as site clearing continues for the newest addition to Grandview Corners’ urbanized landscape – a planned Superstore and gas bar on the southeast corner of 24 Avenue and 160 Street in South Surrey. Ontario-based Loblaw Companies Ltd. started work last month following approval of building permits for a 122,692-square-foot Real Canadian Superstore, plus gas bar and convenience store. Timeline for completion of the project has not been announced by Loblaw, and project spokespeople were not available by Peace Arch News’ press time Monday.

Pilot

› from page 1 The ultralight was approximately 300 feet up at the time. Because of the parachute, it was a “soft crash,” Tyson said. Okunev said the malfunction was likely due to metal fatigue. He described Gavrikov as a “very experienced pilot.” He is a Transport Canada-certified flight instructor who imported his own trike from Moscow nearly a decade ago, soon after taking it to the skies over South Surrey. It was Gavrikov who introduced Okunev to the sport. They opened the flight school in 2006. “He took me up in the air and I just knew I had a new challenge to learn. It was just love.” Okunev said that while the sport is a fun, safe and affordable one that is growing in popularity, it is frustrating that it gets the most attention when something goes wrong – something he said does not happen all that often. He does not believe Monday’s crash will sway Gavrikov’s passion for flying the ultralights. “I think Mikhail is going to be grounded for a while,” he said. “He’s definitely in good spirits.”

The project has been in the works since 2005 when Loblaw first received zoning for the 20-acre site, which faces the WalMart across 160 Street. An overhauled project – including changes to the gas station component – was approved by Surrey council in October. The revision more than doubled the size of the gas station convenience store space (to 65 square metres or 790 square feet) and added a propane fuel pump. Changes in rules governing gas stations since the company gained approval for the project layout now require that alternative fuel services are provided, while the allowable size of gas

station convenience stores has increased. At the same time, the profile of the Superstore has been reduced twice, in 2009 and 2011, from an initially-planned 186,000-squarefoot big-box outlet. The most recently approved plan is for a two-storey building with one level of underground parking. Plans for the main-floor retail area include an optical centre, plus a bakery, cooler and freezers. Also included is a garden centre on the southwest corner of the development, at the same level as the underground parkade. A medical centre initially envisioned for the site appears to have been eliminated from plans.

My world fell apart when my husband suddenly passed away with cancer in 2007. He was too young and the cancer came on quickly. My husband left me and our 4 school aged children behind. Ainslie was there for me and my family. She helped me deal with the Insurance Company. Ainslie was kind, patient and caring. She brought me the insurance money and helped me deal with it. The insurance money helped by letting me stay home from work as long as I needed to be with my children. Without this life insurance money our lives would be very different. I thank Ainslie for taking the time over the years to help my husband and I understand the importance of life insurance. – D. McNaught, Cloverdale

U.S. customs officials can now inspect south-bound trucks on Canadian soil in an effort to reduce waits.

Truckers doubt much time to be gained, wary of U.S. cuts

Pre-inspection of trucks to cut border wait times Jeff Nagel Black Press

U.S. customs officials will be allowed to operate on Canadian soil in Surrey to inspect southbound trucks approaching the Pacific Highway border crossing in a new effort to reduce wait times. The six-month pilot project agreed to March 14 by federal, provincial and U.S. officials designates a pre-clearance area for U.S.-bound trucks that will then be fast-tracked when they actually get to the border. Truckers heading south can face significant waits at the border to get inspected by U.S. agents. But B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako isn’t yet convinced the new project will result in improved cross-

ing times. She noted a series of other border efficiency initiatives have already resulted in average southbound truck wait times at the Pacific Highway crossing being reduced over the past year from 52 minutes to a recent low of just 16 minutes. “We’re not sure how much can be gained from this new process,” Yako said. “While we’re pleased Pacific Highway has been identified as a pilot, we don’t want this to erode the work that has already been done.” Overhead lighting and new signs will be installed at the Highway 15 pre-inspection site nearing the border. A more immediate concern for truckers is the impending budgetdriven layoffs of U.S. Customs

and Border Protection (CBP) staff who carry out their inspections. Yako said the industry is bracing for the impact of longer border waits starting in mid-April. “There is a lot of concern among our members,” she said. There’s talk of pursuing some sort of contingency plan, she said, if a worst-case scenario develops, partly crippling cross-border trucking for months. The main hope is that U.S. legislators reach a speedy deal on budget reductions to avert the indiscriminate across-the-board cuts to federal departments that were recently triggered. CBP officials in the U.S. had warned the peak waits at the busiest land crossings could double to five hours or more as a result of cuts in their department.

Remember the HST

he HST is gone, finally. And while Premier Christy Clark didn’t miss the opportunity to remind voters that the harmonized sales tax had been beneficial to the film industry, manufacturers and other businesses that received input tax credits, the politicking rang a little hollow. The fact is that the HST – good or bad – became more than a tax. Historically, it will be seen as a symbol of everything that went wrong with the BC Liberal government since being granted its last mandate in 2009 – a symbol of everything B.C. governments, no matter the political stripe, should avoid in future. It’s fact that former Premier Gordon Campbell went to the polls last election stating he was not considering adopting a harmonized sales tax. It’s also fact that within weeks of being elected, the BC Liberals were rolling out plans for the HST. It was such a good thing for the province, voters were told (among the pluses, huge cash payments for provincial coffers from the federal government), that the government had had a sudden change of heart. A significantly large segment of the electorate evidently didn’t believe the message – or the timeline. They concluded they had been deceived. And while BC Liberal loyals have muttered darkly ever since about “misinformation” spread by Bill Vander Zalm and the Stop HST movement, the latter clearly had their fingers closer to the pulse of public feeling. Even some of the staunchest Liberals were forced to admit they had done a horrible job of selling the HST, especially after opponents gathered sufficient votes to call for a referendum. By the time then-finance minister Kevin Falcon, launched a ‘stick figure’ campaign to explain the common-sense virtues of the HST to the public, the majority of voters were having none of it. There may have been many good reasons for an HST, but mishandling killed it, virtues, faults and all. And the writing is on the wall for whichever party forms the next government, should they choose to read it. A mandate to govern is not a signal for hubris, or over-confidence bordering on contempt for public opinion. It is not a blanket approval for anything a government decides to introduce. It is not an indication that democratic process is suspended, that questions won’t be asked, or that a docile public has gone to sleep for the next four years. Let’s hope future governments learn the lesson.

Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to someone who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not. (I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.) The audit found a similar case against EnCana’s flare-reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway. Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preservation deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups. That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and codified in law. Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved.

Peace Arch News

Take a stand on bus etiquette Editor: Perhaps this letter will catch the eye of parents out there and they will feel compelled to remind their children that good manners and common courtesy are still important in this age of highlearning and technology. Bullying has been in the forefront lately, but I feel the experience we had is comparable from a senior’s point of view. I had been given two tickets to a Canucks game for my birthday for the March 26 game at Rogers Arena. A friend came over from the Island to go with me and we managed to make our way to the arena using the bus system and SkyTrain. We hadn’t done our research on the best way to get there, so it was a bit frustrating, but we turned it into an adventure and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. After the game, we made our way back to the Bridgeport SkyTrain station and caught the 351 bus to the South Surrey Park and Ride. This was at about 10:30 p.m. The bus was full and we were told to go to the back of the bus. There were no seats available so we had to stand. My friend was hanging on to the bar along the top of the bus, and I was hanging onto him.

As we were travelling along, I noticed four snowboarders each taking up two seats – tired little body in one, snowboard in the other. I realize snowboarding is an exhausting activity but so is being a senior trying to get out and have some fun. There were overhead racks and the snowboard could easily have been stored there to free up a seat for at least one of us. Or better yet, maybe the snowboarder could have given up his seat too and we both could have sat down. From my experience, standing on the bus is a great workout for the leg muscles – trying to keep upright while travelling in a forward motion. Something like snowboarding. Perhaps we should have said something, but who knows what their reaction might have been? Something like being bullied or standing up for someone being bullied. Sandie Bardua, Merritt

Less rhetoric, more research Editor: Re: Ottawa takes lead on training, March 26 column. l read the column by Tom Fletcher with dismay.

Does he not realize what income inequality is? Is he denying that it exists? And what, you ask, does this have to do with student debt? Perhaps we should turn to others less educated and illustrious than Fletcher for our information. A trip to Wikipedia will offer pages of information: From a recent OECD report we see that, “Income inequality in OECD countries is at its highest level for the past half century.” Or, read the Economist which features articles proclaiming growing inequality is one of the biggest social, economic and political challenges of our time. Or, listen to David Cameron, the prime minister of Britain, who two years ago said, “Research by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, in The Spirit Level, has shown that among the richest countries, it’s the more unequal ones that do worse according to almost every quality of life indicator.” Mr. Fletcher, please read this research and educate yourself. What does income inequality have to do with student debt? In the ’60s, a widowed woman working at Eaton’s as a clerk could see both her children graduate with university degrees and not see them burdened with debt. That woman was my mother. Empty rhetoric indeed! Judy Peterson, White Rock n I am trying to figure out who or

Success booked in Rotary sale Editor: The Rotary Club of White Rock – the oldest Rotary Club on the Peninsula – wishes to thank all the local residents who made its recent 31st annual book sale such a success. The sale was held at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in South Surrey and raised almost $40,000 – a 4.5 per cent increase over last year. The ongoing co-operation of the shopping centre, its retail merchants, service providers and the public has helped the club raise more than $1 million over the years for charitable purposes. This money has assisted local organizations in providing services to the old, the young and the challenged. It has also contributed to many worthwhile international initiatives, including Polio Plus – a program that has been hugely successful in the eradication of polio around the world. Another recent program has provided, and continues to provide, support to Haiti following its devastating earthquake several years ago. Closer to home, the Rotary Club of White Rock contributed $250,000 toward the construction costs of the Centre for Active Living. This visionary health centre is now providing state-of-the-art medical and health services to local residents. Thank you again for helping us play an important role in the growth and well-being of our community. Jaqui Joys & Peter Short, Rotary Club of White Rock

what columnist Tom Fletcher was campaigning for in his piece, but all that was missing in this article was a copy of his Conservative party membership card. He calls himself a political reporter and then writes a completely politically biased column like this. We need reporters that can report and comment on the new without imposing their own personal political leanings on your readers. We all have our own political beliefs, but this story just goes too far. If I want to read unbiased reporting obviously, Peace Arch News is not where I will find it. Stephen Gale, Surrey

Bench ultimate team player Editor: Re: Hogg should take a stand, March 21 editorial. Will MLA Gordon Hogg ever stand up and truly represent the people of Surrey-White Rock? Does he have any ethical standards, or is he just another professional politician ensuring that his meal ticket is punched for another year? Hogg bemoans the fact that certain parts of the Dyble report “turned my stomach and made me feel that some of the actions being taken were terribly opportunistic and certainly could have been deemed to be racist and not very respectful of the multicultural nature of our province and our country,” as quoted by the CBC. Yet as caucus chair, he continues to strongly endorse the premier and whips all the other Liberal lemmings into line. Perhaps the ultimate team player cannot recognize that his Liberal team has committed too many flagrant fouls with the HST, BC Rail and now the ethnic-outreach scandal, and there must be a game misconduct which only he can serve. Aart Looye, Surrey

Awareness heightened

File photo

History buffs such as Tony Pedersen helped the Rotary Club of White Rock raise nearly $40,000 in their annual book sale last month.

Editor: Re: Dining to make a difference, March 5. Once again, the Peace Arch News has provided wonderful coverage of events held by the Oneness Gogos of South Surrey/White Rock. Your article by Sarah Massah provided information which demonstrated awareness of, and support, for our activities. We so appreciate the fact that you recognize the focus of our work, which is supporting the grandmothers of sub-Saharan Africa who struggle to raise their grandchildren, orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. We could not raise this awareness without your help! Donna McBride, Oneness Gogos, South Surrey/White Rock

Malcolm Brodie expects strong opposition to MMBC’s “short-sighted” plan to end glass pickup. “Our residents have gotten used to being able to recycle the glass – they’ve come to expect it,” Brodie said. “Without being able to put it in your blue box, I think people by and large won’t take it to the depot – they’ll put it in the trash. It just seems to me to be a big step backward.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Cloverdale project set to be up and running by June 22

Heritage rail station nears completion Jennifer Lang

Black Press

slice of railway history is coming to life at the foot of 176A Street, where a faithful replica of the original B.C. Electric Railway station that acted as a bustling commuter passenger hub for decades is nearly complete. For carpenter Cole Hilton, working on Cloverdale Station is a dream assignment. “I wish I could get paid to do this all the time,” Hilton said. “It’s actual, traditional carpentry.” For the past week or so, he’s been installing wainscoting, laying down flooring and performing other woodworking tasks that match the craftsmanship that went into the original, built around 1910 at the inception of the BCER’s Interurban passenger rail line. “The actual work that’s being done is what would have been done when it was being built,” he said, pausing to cut a section of flooring to size. “That’s what’s neat.” The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society has spent the past decade working to return an Interurban car to the original line. The society moved its operations from Sullivan Station to Cloverdale last August, and launched a sponsorship campaign for Cloverdale Station, attracting 27 sponsors to the construction project, which broke ground in November. The station has been constructed using the original plans, and, once complete in a few weeks, will be as close to the original as possible. “The historical aspect of it is pretty huge,” Hilton said. “It’s not just building a train station, it’s actually building a train station that represents what was originally here. We’re not building a BC Transit bus stop.” Cloverdale’s newest heritage attraction is nearly ready to greet the first modern-day passengers

to ride the Interurban in 60 years. Inside the station, a few concessions to modern safety

standards have been necessary. Rather than a pot-bellied stove, heat is being provided by electric

baseboard heaters, said FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert. Modern sensibilities have been accommodated, too. A foreboding freight door was scrapped in favour of another set of windows. And two tidy brick chimneys on the roof are accurate, but non-functioning. But otherwise, everything from the windows, doors, hinges and brackets right down to the paint colours – cream and red – are what they would have looked like in the original. “The paint colours have all been matched to their true, historic

colours,” Aubert said. As with all of the construction and design components, the cost of the paint has been covered by a project sponsor. Sponsors’ generosity has made it possible to add the so-called extras – from cedar shingles and wooden siding to the single-hung sash windows, which are custommade, double-glazed, and come courtesy of BC Hydro. Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s school of horticulture recently offered to design and install landscaping, the final piece of the puzzle. Inside, the station has two waiting rooms. One will be used as an overflow waiting area for passengers this summer, and in the winter, it will be used for heritage programming. The FVHRS is partnering with the Surrey Museum to create displays. The ticket windows offer a 180-degree view onto the track, a spur line that joins the Southern Railway. In the station’s heyday, there was a steam train line along 176 Street in Cloverdale, Aubert says. “This town had three major rail lines. This wasn’t a rodeo town,” he smiled. “This was a railway town.” On June 22, the society will officially launch limited passenger service, running hourly, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends to Thanksgiving. The trip from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station and back will last approximately 30 minutes. More than 100 new volunteers are being trained to work as conductors, operators, ticket masters and maintenance crew. The June launch is a month later than planned. There are still a few technical glitches to work out, Aubert explained. The project is in partnership with the City of Surrey and the Southern Railway of B.C., with the assistance of BC Hydro.

Aries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it's more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

Libra, you know what you want and do not need anyone's approval, but you can't help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don't overdo it.

Scorpio, channel your romantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they're strong.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

Gemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

Sagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, don't get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

Capricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Leo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week. Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

Aquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

VIRGO

PISCES

Virgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

You are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don't be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

Thrift shop and volunteers help Surrey Memorial Hospital buy medical equipment

A penny saved, and a hospital helped Boaz Joseph

Black Press

he penny may be out of production at the Royal Canadian Mint, but volunteers are still hard at work helping people save pennies at a North Delta thrift store – all for a good cause. On a busy morning in the sorting room of The Penny Savers’ Thrift Shop, Nina Taylor and Alice Pogue are sifting through incoming donations: Clothes, stuffed toys, dishes, the odd teapot... “I just like to work,” says Taylor, tagging small, gold-rimmed plates with price stickers. Both ladies will be 82 this year. They’re among 55 active volunteers and members of the Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) Auxiliary who run the thrift store to support the SMH Foundation. Day manager Cora Brown is eager to show a visitor around the store. The showroom is divided into sections like any department store – menswear and womenswear, shoes, toys, sporting goods, books and household items. There’s lots to see: Friendly, blue-vested volunteers, a gaggle of mannequins watching the clothing racks, old-school LPs next to DVDs, Dutch wooden clogs, even a pair of $8 sombreros. Hidden away are the situational necessities: A staff washroom filled with boxes of VHS tapes, a storage room stuffed with seasonal items (Christmas, Halloween, etc.), a back-room shelf with single shoes (their twins are in the showroom), and a sorting room with its topography modified by a small mountain of

She started volunteering in Newton at the last of a succession of locations in Surrey. The shop, which moved to North Delta that same year, is now closer to her home. Not long ago, Brown was offered the role of store co-ordinator, a liaison between the Auxiliary and the thrift shop, but being of a hands-on, non-bureaucratic nature, declined.

A NEW WAY TO HEAR...

‘OPEN CANAL’ HEARING INSTRUMENTS

“I don’t do meetings. I don’t do cash.” Instead, she and the day managers tend to the volunteers, donated items, merchandise and customers while the auxiliary staff take care of the books. It’s not always easy at the shop. There are rare shoplifters and even customers who have tried to bring their own homemade price tags. Out back, three full-sized couches lay next to two dumpsters. The auxiliary will

eventually have to pay remove them. Despite signs several warning sings around the building, some people continue to dump unwanted items (TVs, microwaves and mattresses) at the back door after hours. “People don’t read signs,” laments Brown. “Do they care?” She soon relents. “But that’s OK. (This business is) what makes money for the hospital.” Auxiliary secretary Lila Kawasaki says SMH Auxiliary is using money collected from thrift shop sales to fulfill their pledge of $250,000 (over three to five years) to buy medical equipment for the hospital. The annual 100 Days to Give Campaign received $40,000 in March 2012 and was expected to receive about $65,000 this time around – with the entire campaign to be matched by an equal donation from businessman and philanthropist Jim Pattison. Surrey Memorial Hospital Auxiliary needs volunteers for both their SMH lottery booth (Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Mondays/Wednesdays/Thursdays from 12:30-4 p.m.) and in the Penny Savers’ Thrift Shop, 11961 82 Ave. (there are various shifts). Detailed descriptions are available at www.govolunteer.ca Applicants must be at least 16 years old and able to commit to a regular (once/twice a week) schedule for a minimum of six months from Feb. 26 to Aug. 31.

Upcoming groups include the Arntzen Brothers Jazz Band (April 7), Red Beans & Rice (April 14), Uptown Swing (April 21) and Slipped Disc (April 28). Admission is $8 (members) and $10 (nonmembers). Memberships ($15) are available at the door.

Internationally recognized Peninsula guitarist Doug Towle will take his music in an exciting new direction next month, with a tribute to one of his own guitar heroes, Carlos Santana. Towle and his new band, Supernatural – A Santana Experience will play Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd., on Friday, April 5 at 8 p.m. The concert pays homage to the morethan-40-year career of the architect of Latin rock, using an all-star seven-piece band to recreate the Santana phenomenon with all the energy and musicianship of the original. Joining Towle (guitars and vocals) will be vocalists Ben Arce and Heidi McCurdy, bassist Pete Davyduck, keyboardist Jillian Lebeck, percussionist Myles Bigelow and drummer Tim Proznick. The White Rock show is a follow-up to the band’s recent debut at Vancouver’s The Fanclub. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets ($35) are available from www. dougtowle.com

Fools

Poetry event Can one person make a difference? Can a small group affect change? That’s the question posed by Catalyst for Change: Art in Action! – an evening of readings, personal experiences, art and music by and about people who are working to create a better world through the arts – Saturday, April 6, 7:30 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Arts space in Centennial Park. Noted author and poet Penn Kemp has chosen Semiahmoo Arts’ literary series: Readings by the Salish Sea, for the inaugural West Coast launch of her new anthology, Jack Layton: Art in Action. Kemp has collected anecdotes about how Jack Layton – her brother-in-law – inspired people from coast to coast to work to create a better world. An honourary life member of the League of Canadian Poets, Kemp is a recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal, and served as the inaugural Poet Laureate of London, Ont. Rounding out the evening, local advocates who have used the arts as a catalyst for change will make brief presentations about a variety of social and environmental initiatives that have played out at the local, regional and provincial level. As well, Susan Keeping will be on hand to introduce Kemp. There will be opportunities for the audience to engage interactively – with the speakers and in other ways. A no-host bar, art exhibition, decorative elements, and music will add ambience, and Kemp’s book will be available for purchase at the event. In addition to the Kemp event, there

For this month only, Zero to 360 will be held on the first Thursday of the month (April 4) – instead of the fourth – and in honour of Poetry Month, readers are being asked to present poetry, rather than other forms of literature. Also coming up, Thursday, April 25 is From The Edge of the Fraser: readings by Catherine Owen and Warren Dean Fulton. For further information, visit www. semiahmooarts.com

Shaw and Temple It’s a treat for baby boomers and everybody who loves golden oldies. Award-winning Vancouver Islandbased musical duo Kenny Shaw and Brian Temple will bring their ’60s tribute extravaganza to the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.) this Saturday (April 6) at 8:30 p.m. It’s a comedy music show about the time when rock ‘n’ roll was fun, complete with ‘Twist’ contests and trivia competitions

with prizes, plus the mental exercise of remembering lyrics to songs you may have grown up with. Shaw, a BCCMA Hall of Fame inductee, and three-time winner of Entertainerof-the-Year honours, has performed internationally, including three trips to entertain troops in Afghanistan. Temple, an original member of the Hudson Brothers Band for their CBS show, is a studio musician with a wealth of experience. Together, the veteran performers have been bringing their mix of comedy and harmony to sold-out audiences all over the West Coast, and are warming up for a tour of Western Canada this spring. Tickets ($12) are available at the Legion (for more information, call 604-535-1080).

Leon Tolchinski has landed a teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. But when he sees people sweeping dust into their houses and milking cows upside down to get cream, he begins to realize the village is under a curse – of chronic stupidity. To complicate matters he falls in love with his student, Sophia Zubritsky, daughter of the hamlet’s doctor – only to find she is being pursued by a local aristocrat, evil Count Gregor. That’s the premise of Neil Simon’s comedy Fools, upcoming production of White Rock Players Club (April 10-27, Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.), directed by Ryan Mooney (Lend Me A Tenor, Little Shop of Horrors). Featured players are Hunter Golden (Leon), Melissa Paras (Sophia Zubritsky), Sheila Greentree (Lenya Zubritsky), Ryan Johnston (Dr. Zubritsky), and Scott Milne (Count Gregor). Martin Perrin plays the role of Magistrate, while well-known scene-stealers Ray Van Ieperen, Paul Ferancik, Clive Ramroop and Helen Volkow have ample scope for winning big laughs as spectacularly dense villagers Snetsky, Slovitch, Mishkin and Yenchna. For tickets ($18; $16 seniors, students and Coast Capital Savings members) call 604536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

Black and white Even with the evolution of photography from a chemical to digital process, the appeal of black-and-white images remains strong – the medium still captures a richness of texture and the play of shadow and highlights that colour photography can’t equal. Crescent Beach Photo Club is sponsoring its 12th annual black-and-white photo exhibition Saturday, April 13 at St. Mark’s Anglican Church in South Surrey. Members from 14 photography clubs in the Lower Mainland have been invited to submit images that will be evaluated by qualified judges. At stake are individual medals, plus the Crescent Beach Photo Club trophy, but fans of fine photography are also invited for a close-up look at the cream of current work. The show gets underway at 7 p.m. at the church, 12953 20 Ave.

Demico Hannoun, Nic Pierog score winning goals to give Surrey 2-0 series lead

Eagles edge Bulldogs twice at home Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he Surrey Eagles stretched their home winning streak to five games – and seven games overall – en route to taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the BC Hockey League Coastal Conference finals. But unlike their second-round series against Chilliwack, in which the Birds scored at will and cruised to a three-game sweep, the team’s first two games against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs were anything but a walk in the park. On Friday, the two clubs – who faced off just twice during the regular season, with the Bulldogs winning once and the teams tying the other – battled to a scoreless draw through nearly the full 60 minutes, until forward Demico Hannoun scored the game’s lone goal with 1:21 left in the third period. “I thought both teams…didn’t want to make mistakes, and were pretty timid on the forechecks and didn’t want to get caught for an odd-man rush (the other way),” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart after the game. “There wasn’t a whole lot of great chances, so both teams played pretty well defensively.” The game’s two netminders – Surrey’s Michael Santaguida and Alberni Valley’s Jay Deo – were the stars of the contest, which seemed set to go to overtime, as neither goalie let a shot pass them. The opposing keepers were especially sharp in a busy second period, when Santaguida – called “Santa” by teammates, but far less giving than his jolly namesake – stopped 15 shots, and Deo, coming off BCHL player-of-the-week honours, stopped 11. But Hannoun, 17, kept the game from OT when he scored his third goal of the playoffs, beating Deo with a wrist shot after being sprung on a breakaway. “We were lucky to get an odd-man rush late in the game, and a highly skilled player like Demico found a lane and ripped it,” Erhart said. “It was a big goal, obviously.” Saturday’s game, won 3-2 by the Eagles, was just as close as Game 1, and needed overtime to decide. This time, Nic Pierog played the role of hero for the hometown team, sending the crowd of 1,028 home happy when he deflected a Craig Wyszomirski wrist shot through Deo just 1:18 into the extra frame.

“Nic’s a player who… has been one of our best forwards since Christmas, and he always works hard in practice, and works on his deflections in practice, so it was nice to see him get the winner like that,” Erhart said. “Lots of OT goals (happen) when you just throw it on net. We were actually yelling at

(Jordan) Klimek to shoot the puck, but he (passed) to Wyszomirski, and he did a great job getting the puck through to the net. “We had two bodies in front of the net, and two of their d-men, so there was really no chance for the goalie on that one.” The OT winner was the first time the Eagles led all game. Neither team scored in the first period, and the Bulldogs took a lead 5:05 into the second when Even Tironese fired a shot past Santaguida just under the crossbar. Adam Tambellini, on the power play, tied the game five minutes later with his leaguebest eighth post-season goal, but Tironese restored Alberni’s lead before the second intermission when he forced a turnover in the Surrey end of the rink and beat Santaguida with a wrist shot. In the third period, Brady Shaw tied the

game midway through the period when, after beating a pair of Bulldog defencemen, beat Deo with a shot. Santaguida made 31 saves to earn his league-best eight playoff win. His three shutouts, goals-against average and save-percentage also leads all playoff goaltenders. Game 3 of the best-of-seven series was played after press deadline Monday night in Port Alberni. Game 4 hits the ice tonight (Tuesday), also on Vancouver Island. Barring a Surrey Eagles’ sweep of the next two games – which would send them into the BCHL Fred Page Cup finals – a fifth game will be played Thursday in South Surrey. Game 6, if necessary, would return to Port Alberni Friday, with a decisive seventh game – again, if necessary – slated for Sunday night in South Surrey.
