‘Blessing in disguise’ for man who held up corner store

Arrest reveals childhood head injury Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When Courtland Moffett was eight years old, the vehicle he and his father were in was hit by a truck. His father’s injuries were obvious and significant, and ended John Moffett’s career as an air-traffic controller. The younger Moffett, by comparison, came away relatively unscathed – or so everyone thought.

In the years that followed, his parents struggled to understand changes they saw in their son’s behaviour; among other things, he exhibited anxiety and became impulsive. But it wasn’t until more than a decade after the crash, and after the then-21-year-old Peninsula man robbed a White Rock corner store – threatening to kill the clerks with a gun he never produced – that they learned just how serious his childhood injuries had been.

An MRI requested by Surrey Provincial Court officials last year, as his case progressed through the system, showed he had frontal and temporal lobe brain damage, the court heard last week. Those injuries were likely compounded by a 2009 motorcycle accident, the court heard. Those injuries explained everything. Wednesday, during a sentencing hearing for the May 2012 robbery, prosecutor Paul

Barclay and defence counsel Gordon Bowen agreed with Judge Ellen Gordon’s description of Moffett’s arrest that day as “a blessing in disguise, in its own perverse way.” It led to discovery of the damage, and, perhaps more importantly, to the family finally understanding what was happening, why it was happening and what they and Moffett could do to mitigate and control the effects. › see page 2

‘Protector’ gunned down

Hollywood nomination

Young actor gets attention

Murder charge Sheila Reynolds Black Press

Bradley McPherson was a protector, someone who always stood up for others, according to his family. So when he was at a Christmas Eve party in 2011 and witnessed someone being disrespectful, he stepped in. “And for that his life was taken,” his tearful mother, Susan Simning, said at a news conference Monday announcing the name of a man arrested in her son’s death. Russell Bidesi, of Surrey, was charged Saturday with second-degree murder in connection with McPherson’s shooting at a house party near 131 Street and 67A Avenue 16 months ago. Police say McPherson was an innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they don’t believe McPherson, 28, and Bidesi, 22, knew each other. “He was my protector,” said McPherson’s sister Mariah, wiping away tears. “He was always there for me when I needed someone else to run to.” Older sister Jennie said Bradley was her best friend and the perfect uncle to her children. Bidesi is already in custody, having been charged in February 2012 for a separate Surrey killing. Bidesi is among three men charged with second-degree murder in the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting of 31-year-old Kacey Rogers. Rogers was attacked in his home in the 14000-block of Grosvenor Road in what police called “a planned home invasion turned deadly.” Police say the two murders are unrelated.

‘…better than he has in years’ › from page 1 “Everyone assumed the young eight-yearold boy had suffered less severe injuries,” the judge said as she imposed a sentence that included 65 days credit for time served and three years probation. “No one attributed (his behaviour over the years) to the accident.” Moffett was arrested on May 1, after he walked into the Red Rooster corner store in the 1400-block of Stayte Road, told the clerks he had a gun, demanded cash from the till and then tried to steal the till itself. The clerks – two sisters, one of them eight months pregnant – weren’t convinced Moffett was armed. They fought back, whacking him with a golf club. He fled, followed by the clerks’ mother, who called police as she ran. Officers caught up with Moffett at a nearby park, where he tried to hide behind a tree. Barclay told the court Moffett’s behaviour was “extremely bizarre and quite aggressive.” He repeatedly spat on the officers – which led to an assault charge that was stayed in court Wednesday – and, when asked if he wanted to talk to a lawyer, responded with, “I want to speak to your mother.” A psychiatric report notes Moffett said he had no recollection of the incident – a claim Barclay noted he normally wouldn’t give much weight to. It also noted Moffett was considered a moderate risk for future violence; risk that could be reduced by abstaining from drugs and alcohol and with continued treatment for his brain injury. Barclay named the threat to kill and the fact that one clerk was pregnant as aggravating factors in the file. Moffett’s guilty plea – entered in September – and his age, brain injury and lack of criminal record are all mitigating factors, the prosecutor said. Barclay added that while the law mandates a jail sentence, it’s not required that the term actually be spent in jail. He suggested a conditional sentence of 12 to 18 months house arrest, followed by one year probation.

A store clerk demonstrated last year how she fended off a robber with a golf club.

Bowen agreed further incarceration would not help his client. “He’s done some time in the penalty box. It gave him a great deal of time to contemplate what’s going on with his life, what’s going on with his brain,” the defense lawyer said. “This has allowed him, fortunately, to understand what he has to do to keep himself on track.” By all accounts, as a result of diagnosing his brain injury, Moffett has “done better than he has in years,” Bowen added. Offered an opportunity to address the court, Moffett expressed regret. “I just want to apologize for everything I’ve done,” he told Gordon, as his father listened from the court gallery. “I’ve learned a lot, and I’m on my way to bettering my life.” In imposing probation, Gordon told Moffett it was “not to punish you so much as to assist you to monitor your rehabilitation.” Conditions include a curfew of 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the first six months, and to complete any counselling or programs a probation officer deems appropriate. Gordon also handed Moffett a 10-year weapons prohibition. “Given the right treatment, this young man is someone we will not see before the courts again,” Gordon said.

Christmas Day killing after convenience-store thieves stole less than $65

16-year sentence sought in clerk’s death Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey man pleaded guilty last week to manslaughter in the killing of a convenience store worker on Christmas Day 2011, admitting he shot 27-year-old Alok Gupta with a sawed-off rifle during a robbery in which he stole less than $65. William Andrew Whiteside, 23, was originally charged with second-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge Thursday in Surrey Provincial Court. Lawyers are asking for a 16-year jail sentence, minus the 10 months Whiteside has been in custody. Gupta, a business student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, was working at Ken’s Groceries near 110 Street and 96 Avenue

on Dec. 25, 2011 when Whiteside and two friends decided to rob a store. They drove to Ken’s in a car that they had stolen the day before. Whiteside and another man burst through the front door. Whiteside was carrying a sawed-off 22-calibre rifle loaded with one bullet. He pointed the firearm at Gupta, who backed away with his hands up. Between $45 and $65 was taken from the cash register. As Whiteside was leaving the store, he was startled by a sound from Gupta and fired the rifle. A single shot struck the clerk in the chest. Whiteside fled to a waiting car. Gupta walked to a neighbour’s, holding his shoulder, his chest bloodied. “Please, help me,” he said, before collapsing

Newsletter ‘accurate’

MP under fire over veterans Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A ‘householder’ newsletter from Conservative MP Russ Hiebert last week outlining his government’s support for military veterans is being vehemently protested by South Surrey-based Equitas Disabled Soldiers Funding Society and political foes in the riding. Jim Scott, president of the society – which is paying for an application for a class-action suit before the BC Supreme Court on behalf of financially distressed disabled veterans – said Hiebert’s communication is “very, very disingenuous.” Scott, a former president of Hiebert’s riding association, said it cites benefits that would go only to the most severely disabled veterans “as if they apply across the board” – while making no mention of studies that show veterans’ benefits will drop substantially at age 65. In a release, Liberal riding president Penny Essex termed the newsletter a “calculated misuse of facts.” But Hiebert denies there was anything misleading in his newsletter. “Absolutely not,” he said. “I stand by the content… It is completely accurate. It was a short communications piece, but I provided the link (to the Veterans Affairs website) if anybody wanted to find out more details.” Equitas also took exception to the newsletter using a 2009 quote from NDP Veteran Affairs critic Peter Stouffer that compared Canada’s overall treatment of veterans favourably with that in other countries. Stouffer told Peace Arch News Monday that the quote, while accurate, was taken out of context and that he “absolutely” supports Equitas’ position that disproportionately low settlements under the New Veterans Charter must be corrected. Hiebert said he doesn’t think subsequent statements by Stouffer affect the validity of the quote. “It doesn’t really matter – he’s already said our care provided to veterans is right at the top,” he said.

Energy Conservation Cup motivates one class to teach by candlelight

Student leaders hope to lose power Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

After soundly squashing their rival schools in a February energy-savings battle, Semiahmoo Secondary leadership students are once again turning up the heat (figuratively, that is) in the hopes of scoring the Surrey School District’s coveted Energy Conservation Cup. “Game on,” said Jaleesa Chagan, when asked if she and fellow student organizers Sahir Shivji and Brendan Pousett have a message for their challengers. The Grade 11 trio led their peers and teachers to a first-place finish in one of four divisions that competed over the course of one week between Feb. 18 and March 1. Their efforts – which saved 1,264 kilowatt hours – topped those at Earl Marriott (27 kWh), Frank Hurt (131), Johnston Heights (353) and Queen Elizabeth (68) secondaries, and earned the school $1,000 that will benefit future conservation efforts. Shivji noted the district’s energy-savings goal for their ‘Heat’ division was 833.33 kWh. (Interestingly, the division name had nothing to do with turning the schools’ heat down,

said teacher sponsor Paul Langton. The results were calculated purely on electrical savings.) In addition to Johnston Heights, Semi will be up against the top two teams in each of the other three smaller divisions – L.A. Matheson, Guildford Park, Panorama Ridge, Clayton Heights, Sullivan Heights and Fleetwood Park – in the final round, set for April 15-19. Shivji, Chagan and Pousett have their work cut out for them in terms of encouraging their teachers and peers to do as much as they can to help score the win. Their rivals at Guildford Park logged 20 per cent energy savings in the first round, compared to Semi’s nine per cent. Last year’s Cup winners, L.A. Matheson, recorded 13 per cent savings. Activities that helped push Semi to the top in their division focused on raising awareness: every day, they challenged students to answer an energy trivia question, and held a daily draw for a $10 coffee card amongst those who entered; they created posters for every classroom that reminded teachers to turn off the lights when the room wasn’t in use (Shivji noted one teacher actually taught by candlelight for the week,

and most others used only half of their rooms’ lights); and, the number of hallway lights on through the week was cut in half. They also shut down the cafeteria on one of the days for a picnic lunch. “A lot of students charge their cellphones during school, so we made sure they weren’t doing that,” Shivji added. Many of those activities will be repeated – with added emphasis – for the final round, the students said. The students acknowledged that energy use at the school has gone up in the weeks since the preliminary round wrapped up. At the same time, “it’s still less than other schools in our heat,” Shivji said. A key goal of the Cup challenge is to change behaviours, Langton said. Chagan said raising awareness about energy conservation is something she also strives to do outside of school. “(At home), it’s me telling my parents to turn their lights off,” she said. The second annual Energy Conservation Cup is to be awarded on Earth Day, April 22.

Three people were sent to hospital Sunday afternoon following a three-car crash on 16 Avenue.

3-car crash Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Three people were taken to hospital – one by air ambulance – Sunday afternoon, following a threevehicle collision in the 14000-block of 16 Avenue. The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m., when a green two-door Sunfire hit a black Volkwagen Jetta; a gold minivan was also damaged. Witnesses told police the collision occurred when the Sunfire, westbound on 16 Avenue, hit the Jetta as it attempted to turn from 140 Street to head west on 16th. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the momentum of the impact caused the vehicles to sideswipe a Ford minivan. The Sunfire came to rest facing east in the eastbound left-turn lane. Both the Sunfire and the Jetta suffered extensive front-end damage. The driver of the Sunfire, a 19-year-old White Rock man, was airlifted to hospital with serious but non-lifethreatening arm and upper-body injuries. The two other drivers – a 45-year-old Burnaby woman (Jetta) and a 32-year-old Port Coquitlam woman – were taken to hospital by ground ambulance. Paquet said at least one of those drivers was released the same day and returned to the scene in an attempt to locate a child carseat, “which fortunately was not occupied.”

Better plan for longer lives

ighty years ago, a person with Down syndrome was lucky to make it to their 16th birthday. Fortunately, advances in health care, nutrition and de-institutionalization have helped the developmentally disabled live into their senior years, largely at the same pace as the rest of society. This shows the lasting and long-term benefits of treating people with Down syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and other cognitive impairments as members of society, not people to be locked away at home or warehoused in institutions. Communities across B.C. – including Surrey and White Rock – have service agencies with excellent day programs, job-placement programs and group homes, all in an effort to have people with disabilities live rich lives in their communities and among their peers. With all of these advancements, it’s not surprising that developmentally disabled people are living much longer than they used to. The current generation is the first in history to get old in large numbers. Ministry of Social Development and, by extension, Community Living BC, the Crown agency that manages funding and programs for the developmentally disabled, will roll out plans to better care for their aging clients. (It’s also rolling out plans to better manage young adults – CLBC is seeing growing client load at both ends of the age spectrum). Unfortunately, the ministry and CLBC are slow on the uptake. It’s been well known for at least five years that the grey tsunami of cognitively disabled seniors was on its way, but planning for this in government circles really only started last year, after CLBC emerged from multiple damaging scandals. Part of rebuilding credibility is the Ministry of Social Development following through with promises of funding to meet growing service demands. If funding doesn’t materialize, it will leave non-profit organizations stretched thinner and searching for ways to support aging clients. Older people, disabled or not, need more medical care, walkers and other items to keep them safe at home or in day-program centres. Retirement homes aren’t staffed with people who understand developmental disabilities, and service agencies generally aren’t equipped or funded to run geriatric programs. Last year, the government trumpeted its 12-point program to improve how CLBC operates. Hopefully for its most vulnerable citizens, that’s not empty rhetoric.

in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water-use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored. The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done. If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green party platform would be a good place to start. Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest. If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the BC Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices. It’s still pretty easy being Green.

Only assailants are responsible Editor: Re: Four arrested after alleged sex assault, April 2. I have to say that reading your front-page article upset me. First off, let’s look at the crime itself before I address the RCMP statement and regurgitation of those words. Two young women are sexually assaulted at 1 a.m. in a park, the impact forever affecting these women – the way they view their bodies, how they develop relationships, how they parent – everything has changed for these two 16-year-old women and their families, forever. As well, four more families have changed, those of the four accused. If convicted, will these families make excuses to their friends for their sons’ actions? Perhaps they will excuse it on alcohol or drugs? Maybe it was the girls’ fault for being in a park at 1 a.m., or how they were dressed? Maybe peer pressure? Or, possibly, we can look at the RCMP statement for the answers: “With summer approaching and the evenings getting warmer, we’ll see more people outside hanging out in parks?” and “Be aware of where you’re at, your surroundings and use smart and common sense.” Really? So if I’m the parent of a sexual-assault survivor, I’m going to say, “oh honey, you were assaulted because it’s spring, the weather is nice, and you were unaware of your surroundings, and you failed to use smart and common sense?” And as the parent of a rapist, I can make an equally justifying statement. Where does the responsibility lie in that scenario? As a father to both a young woman and a young man, I know I have some difficult conversations ahead. To my daughter, I need to tell her to be aware of possible predators, to never leave a drink unattended, to not trust strangers, to teach her how to say “no,” and a thousand other things to watch out for. Further to that, I will let her know the majority of assaults are not like this one, stranger rape, but rather sexual assault may come from someone she knows and maybe even trusts. To my son it’s a different conversation, one that most parents don’t have. I will teach him the difference between consensual and non-consensual sex, and what to do when a woman says “no.” As well, I will teach him what to do when he is witness to friends in this situation. Further to that, don’t scare women into thinking it’s strangers who’ll be the ones assaulting them. “Be aware of where you’re at, your surroundings and use smart and common sense.” Does this still apply to the millions of assaults that occur between friend or friends of friends? Women shouldn’t be scared to walk alone at night. Make them aware of the risk, but don’t scare them into retreating friends’ houses, where most assaults occur. While I don’t disagree with the RCMP statement with respect to crime prevention, I do disagree with the placement of such statements in

your news article. It implies that the responsibility of this crime does not lie solely on the assailants. It’s pretty simple – keep your hands to yourself, and no means no. Chris Roscoe, Surrey Editor’s note: The police comment was in answer to a reporter’s request for advice for potential victims.

Hospice centre needs support Editor: Re: Hospice beds boosted, March 28. You may have heard an announcement for $3 million in hospice funding for White Rock. The provincial grant is going directly to the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation for a hospice residence. Having both a hospice residence

and supportive-care centre has been the goal of the White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society for decades. None of the $3 million has been allocated for the society’s supportive-care centre. Now, with this new information, our society will require generous support to build this much-needed centre, which would provide the necessary emotional, practical and spiritual support for those who are dying and for their families and friends who are grieving their loss. As community members, we support Fraser Health and the new Peace Arch Hospice by providing them with more than 150 trained volunteers giving more than 6,000 hours of care each year. Hospice is about living. You can take comfort in knowing that we will be there when you need us. Robin Harper, White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society president

Clarifications over conflicts Editor: In light of recent split votes on important zoning amendments, I would like to ask the City of White Rock if there are clear-cut guidelines on conflict of interest. For example, should a councillor whose primary income is from real estate be allowed to vote on these matters, or should they abstain? I am sure that the councillors vote with their best interests in the city, but I am concerned about the perceived conflict of interest. Do the councillors sign a document agreeing that they will not benefit directly or indirectly, immediately or in future from their voting decisions? Aroon Shah, White Rock

Cyndie Richards’ struggles with her adult son inspires another resident to share how his parents dealt with him.

Plights of parents can end well Editor: Re: Through one mother’s eyes, March 28. Cyndie Richards wrote about her son’s mental illness and addiction to drugs and alcohol. As a survivor of severe bipolar illness and alcoholism, it pains me to hear about parents who have children suffering from mental illness. Thirty years ago, at age 23, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At the same time I was a full blown alcoholic. For the next 15 years, I built a business in Toronto and Montreal. When I was not working I was committed to a psychiatric ward of a hospital due to a severe manic episode. On 12 different occasions I spent six to eight weeks in hospital recovering from psychotic episodes in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. I was committed to hospitals’ psychiatric wards over and over again, simply because I would not stop drinking. There is a genetic component that runs in my family making us predisposed to mental illness. I lost one of my brothers, who at age 40 took his own life due to untreated bipolar illness and alcoholism. I’ve also lost four other family members to this disease. On August 15, 1993, I was discharged from St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver and sent to a men’s recovery

home. The accommodations didn’t meet with my approval – it wasn’t a four-star hotel – it offered a room with four men and a mattress on the floor. The next day, I called my parents and told them that I was moving back to my apartment. They asked me to come to the house before going home. When I arrived my father gave me a letter to read. It said, “If you are hospitalized in the future and alcohol is involved, we will not support you in any way – we will abandon you.” After 25 years of denying my serious mental illness and alcoholism, I finally woke up. The word “abandon” shook me to the core. I quit drinking and went into recovery. That was almost 20 years ago. Many factors played a role in my recovery, including my parents’ tough love, community support and a psychiatrist who specialized in the treatment of mood disorders. Also, I had become completely willing to surrender my will and lead a life based upon a few simple spiritual principles. I asked the universe for help, and it came. Today I spend my time trying to reach out to others and let them know that there is hope for a good life beyond mental illness. Mental illness is an obstacle in life not a road block.

Input sought on Vidal project Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock residents will have a chance to voice their opinions on a proposed bylaw change to accommodate a 12-storey project for Vidal Street. Council authorized staff to set a date for a public hearing on the proposed change to Zoning

Bylaw 2000 during the March 25 meeting. According to city staff, the hearing will most likely take place this month. If approved, building of the multi-unit residential complex, consisting of 12 townhomes and 97 apartment units at 1467 to 1519 Vidal St., could proceed.

Both Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Al Campbell voiced their disapproval of the project at the meeting, with Baldwin noting the timing being a main concern. “I’m going to be voting against the bylaw. I think it’s a good project, but it’s too early and takes away from our other priorities,” Baldwin said.

Investigation continues into Newton assault Police continue to investigate an alleged sex assault of two girls in a Newton Park last month. On March 28, at 1 a.m., two 16-year-old girls were confronted by four young males at a park at 135 Street and 62A Avenue, near

Northridge Elementary School. The girls reported that the group took their cellphones and attacked them sexually. Police arrived and obtained descriptions of the group and their car.

Plan to replace lights on Highway 91 concerns conservationists

Hummingbird Feeder

Interchange years away Jeff Nagel Black Press

Commuters who use Highway 91 may get a long-promised interchange at 72 Avenue to replace traffic lights there that often cause long backups. The federal and provincial governments have pledged up to $10 million each, while the rest of the $30-million highway-improvement project would be funded locally. There’s no timeline for beginning work on the project, which promises a free flow of traffic on Highway 91, and Delta officials have yet to sign off on the plan

Rebuilt tunnel is other option

because Delta council and Metro Vancouver must first decide on whether to approve MK Delta Lands’ controversial proposal for an 89-acre mixed-use development at the intersection. MK Delta Lands has offered to pay for Delta’s share of the interchange, but Delta chief administrative officer George Harvie said final land-use decisions on the development are at least a year away, and actual interchange construction could take another three, depending on soil conditions.

Building a new bridge, not another tunnel, looks like the best bet to replace the aging and congested George Massey Tunnel, according to Lower Mainland truckers. BC Trucking Association president Louise Yako said her board leans in favour of the bridge solution because it would end two major restrictions for cargo haulers. Trucks aren’t allowed to haul dangerous goods through the tunnel below the Fraser River, forcing those shipments to drive far out of their way over a different bridge. Oversized loads are also banned. The provincial transportation ministry recently unveiled five options for the future of the 54-year-old Massey Tunnel, although it has announced no estimate of costs or strategy to pay for it. Yako also noted removing the tunnel could allow larger ships to head upriver to Fraser Surrey Docks. Trucks could be loaded with cargo containers there instead of at Deltaport, making goods movement more efficient, she said. The topic of using tolls to pay for a new crossing hasn’t yet come up in the association’s discussions with provincial government officials, she said. “Our industry believes it should pay its fair share,” Yako said.

fears the offer by the developer to pay for the interchange amounts to an inducement that could sway Delta council’s land-use decision. “Is this a wink-wink, nudgenudge way of opening up development for MK?” she asked. Olson argues both the development and the proposed interchange will harm the bog, releasing more carbon into the atmosphere. “There’s no way they can do it without eating into the bog,” she said. Harvie, however, said the designs he’s seen would not impact protected land.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Cloverdale native and Afghanistan veteran John Lowe embarking on 500-km bike ride

Helping soldiers on the long road home One day, they were in a place called Pashmul – a notorious neighbourhood where “stuff happened all the time.” An armoured vehicle had been hit by a recoilless rifle, and they were sent in to investigate, their own vehicle driving down a mud path hemmed in by a high, narrow embankment. “We could tell right away something was weird,” he says, describing how the Afghan National Army members alongside them “were a little jumpy.” Suddenly, they came under fire from a couple of different ❝It’s not directions. To Lowe, it was surreal something – off to the left, a that’s going farmer and two children to be solved in a field were collecting overnight.❞ hay into piles. When Cpl. John Lowe the gunfire went off, the troops, hearing the retired soldier crack, crack, crack of the gunfire, hit the ground. When they got back up, the farmer and the children were still raking hay as if nothing had happened. “We can literally see the puff of dust where the guy had just fired from,” he remembers. “It’s kind of crazy and kind of sad how life there is.” Whether the family was a decoy, figured they weren’t a target or were simply used to gunfire, he’ll never know.

Jennifer Lang

Black Press

t’s a good thing retired Cpl. John Lowe is used to training his butt off, because he’s got less than two months to prepare for his upcoming mission – a 500-kilometre bike ride over six days. Lowe is also keeping a blog called Two Feet and a Heartbeat, where he’s chronicling his efforts to get in shape for the Big Battlefield Bike Ride 2013. As the only rider from B.C., Lowe and his five Canadian comrades will join more than 300 British, American and European combat veterans on a ride across France and England. They set out from the Eiffel Tower in Paris on May 27 and wind up in London on June 2. Along the way, they’ll pass through some of the most significant battlefields of the First and Second World Wars. The longest day will span 130 km, and he wants to be ready. Lowe, who started training in earnest last month, admits he’s not quite there yet. Lowe is looking for sponsors to help raise $4,000 – money that will cover his trip, but also go towards raising awareness for those suffering from Operational Stress Injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He’s being sponsored by Wounded Warriors, a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Forces members and reservists who have been injured or wounded in their service, with a focus on mental health.

Lasting scars

Lifelong ambition Lowe, 26, served a six-month tour with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry’s 1st battalion in Afghanistan from October 2009 to April 2010. He’d always wanted to become a soldier, growing up listening to the tales of his grandfather, a Second World War veteran and dam buster who helped destroy infrastructure in the fight against the Nazis. As a kid in his hometown of Cloverdale, Lowe played hockey and took Judo lessons, and loved tearing around the yard in the army fatigues his parents got him for Christmas the year he was in Grade 6. After high school, he and a friend kicked around Europe, with Lowe taking off for a stretch to cycle out the site where his grandfather’s plane had been shot down, at the Myrna Dam in Germany. He found the exact spot, using a map someone had drawn for him.

Jennifer Lang photo

Retired Cpl. John Lowe is bringing awareness to the plight of soldiers coping with Operational Stress Injuries and PTSD by riding through Western Europe this spring. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 solidified Lowe’s plans of serving in the military. “I remember seeing that and just being so upset about it, and not understanding.” Later, he watched the first bombing of Iraq. “By the time I had a choice to sign up, I knew I’d be going to Afghanistan. That was my original intention when I signed up.” On Oct. 12, 2009, he arrived at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan, where he was part of Task Force 309, a reconstruction team aimed at rebuilding Afghanistan’s infrastructure.

Mole Problem? No Problem! Bert the Mole Man

Lowe’s company was mostly deployed as a quick-reaction force, patrolling villages with local Afghan army and police, a role that involved mentoring and community relations. Detecting Improvised Explosive Devices, or IEDs, was a constant. The deadly, homemade land mines could be hidden nearly anywhere. “We had IEDs on our road every day,” he said. “For four months straight, we had a bomb under the first culvert we crossed.” His company was lucky – nobody was killed, although several were injured.

Lowe says he arrived in Afghanistan thinking he was going to make a big difference, help rebuild infrastructure and free the Afghan people from the bonds of the Taliban. “What you soon realize is it’s incredibly more complex than you ever thought it would be. You realize it’s not something that’s going to be solved overnight. And that you are a very small cog in the overall picture.” He returned to Canada on April 18, 2010 and obtained a voluntary release from the force. He went back to work as a youth pastor at Zion Lutheran Church. Within a span of four months, he went from a war zone to playing games with kids and leading Bible studies. But something inside had changed. He wasn’t functioning the way he used to. He often felt very tense and very alert.

Bryan Fedirchuk and Consts. Dmytro Ivanov, Raymond Lee and Joseph McGhee. Collectively, the four removed 143 impaired drivers from the city’s streets in 2012. The remaining 133 officers will be inducted into Alexa’s Team in events to be held in Victoria, Kelowna and Prince George in the coming weeks. Alexa’s Team was formed in 2008, not long after the fouryear-old – who attended preschool in Crescent Beach – died. Her aunt was seriously injured. Carol Berner, the driver who hit Alexa, began serving her 2½-year sentence just last month, after losing her final appeal. Alexa’s parents have advocated for tougher restrictions and penalties for impaired drivers. Since 2010, statistics show the number of fatalities related to impaired driving have dropped

Preliminary data for 2012 shows an historic low of 59. The number of impaired-driving charges has also dropped, a trend officials say suggests that public attitudes and behaviours when it comes to the practice are changing. Laurel Middelaer, who held a small orange Croc – one of her daughter’s favourite shoes – for part of the ceremony, said the decline in fatalities and injuries is heartening. “Improving public safety is a tangible difference that we can

make to honour those who suffered loss on our roads,” she said in a statement. “We thank the officers for honouring our daughter, Alexa, in this notable way and for serving our communities with their excellence.” In its first year, Alexa’s Team welcomed 26 members; in 2009, the number jumped to 177; in 2010, 216 officers were honoured. Last year, 355 officers were inducted. Collectively, the officers have removed more than 41,000 impaired drivers from B.C. roads; 7,865 of those in 2012.

Retired Cpl. John Lowe and fellow soldiers while on duty in Afghanistan.

‘In reality, it’s an injury’ › from page 11 him. Or he’d have panic attacks while driving along a certain stretch of road. These are the small triggers that can set off a debilitating reaction in someone with an Operational Stress Injury. For some veterans, the scent of campfire smoke is enough to take them back to Afghanistan. To cope, some guys “drink their faces off.” Others take more drastic measures; Lowe knows at least three soldiers who have taken their own lives. It took a few phone calls, connecting with other veterans and hearing their experiences, to realize what he was experiencing was common.

The hard part was reaching out for help. “There’s this huge stigma that the guys have, that if you’re going through something like this, or you’re dealing with something like this, it means you’re weak. You should be able to get over this by yourself. But in reality, it’s an injury.” Lowe found that help, and now he’s encouraging others to do the same. That’s why he’s taking part in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride. “As warriors, as soldiers, this is our collective history. These are honourable things, and this is my part.” Contact Lowe at jcwlowe@gmail. com or visit his blog at http://www. jcwlowe.blogspot.ca

Claudine, owner and operator of Swim Clo Aquatics and Fitness, started her first swim school 25 years ago because she felt it was taking too long for children to learn to swim in traditional swimming programs. Today, she operates 3 successful swim schools located in South Surrey (Best Western Peace Arch Inn), Vancouver and Tsawwassen. Claudine used the knowledge she gained from her UBC Human Kinetics and Education degrees in combination with her 25 years of teaching swimming and school experience to develop a unique learn-toswim program that works! As a result of the Swim Clo program, which is only taught at her swim schools, her students learn to swim in ¼ of the time. This innovative, one-of-a-kind program, yields strong swimmers in 1 year, which would otherwise take 3-4 years in traditional programs. Why Swim Clo’s programs work: ✔ Private Learning Environment free of distractions ❏ and overstimulation. ✔ Private and Small Group Lessons with group ❏ lessons being made up of a maximum 4 swimmers. ✔ Professional Coaches who offer the highest quality ❏ instruction and safety supervision. ✔ Longer Lesson Duration (45-60 minute classes) ❏ allowing swimmer’s enough time in the water to develop the muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, comfort and feel of the water necessary to become an efficient swimmer. ✔ Maximum Participation ensuring there is no ❏ waiting for your turn as it is always your turn. ✔ Customized Lesson Plans adapted for each ❏ swimmer’s learning style, strengths and weaknesses focusing primarily on Front and Back Crawl and Breast Stroke. ✔ Games with Aims teaching fun skills that could ❏ one day save your child’s life. ✔ Constant Communication with parents ensuring ❏ both child and parent are always happy and “in the know”. “I joined Swim Clo because all my friends couldn’t stop talking about how much their kids loved the program and how much they had progressed. After one lesson we were hooked! I personally love that my 5 and 7 year old can swim in the same class, at the same time, leaving me with 1 hour of free time.” – Andrea L.

April 9 - 13, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, you must stand up for what you believe is right, even if it costs you a few friends along the way. It is the price to pay for doing the honorable thing.

Libra, don't feel guilty if your opinion differs from others'. If you don't agree with the consensus, then that is your opinion and your right.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

Taurus, take a trip this week if it will help you reach your goals. The change of scenery could give you an entirely new perspective on a situation that needs tackling.

Scorpio, say what is on your mind because sometimes people just need to hear the honest truth. You have a good way of exacting authority and representing others.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

Gemini, think about adding some new skills to your resume. It's not that your job is in turmoil right now, but it always pays to be a step ahead when it comes to your career.

Sagittarius, get together with people who share your love of adventure this week. Together you can enjoy time spent living vicariously and enjoying the scenery flying by.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Cancer, just because everyone else is making changes doesn't mean you have to at this time as well. If things are working out, then let them stay as they are for a while.

Capricorn, if you want to get real results this time, change your approach with a person who has been troublesome in the past. You will get the knack of persuasion.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Don't set limits on what you do, Leo. Changes at work mean you may need to fill different roles that require new skills. There's a good chance you can master them.

Discuss issues from your past that you have yet to resolve, Aquarius. This is the week to "come clean" with a spouse or romantic partner or someone else close to you.

PAR for the couRse

Clubs can have big impact

olf is a game of subtleties. A slight rotation of a degree or two during a swing can mean the difference between hitting the green and landing in the bunker. Those same subtleties are no more apparent than in a set of golf clubs. With continued advancements in club technology, it is possible to see a difference in your game as a result of new clubs, whether you desire increased power, accuracy or forgiveness. But if there are flaws in your swing, new clubs will not make them disappear. Clubs can only improve on what’s already there. You don’t have to go out and purchase the most expensive set of clubs – concentrate on getting the right set. n Selecting golf clubs that are the correct size is the first step. Unless you stand over 6 feet or under 5 feet, standard-size clubs should be correct for most men and women. Men’s clubs are generally 1 inch taller per club. n The shaft is the next essential consideration. Today’s shafts are usually composed of steel or graphite. Steel shafts are more durable and generally less expensive than graphite. They offer more control but require a faster swing to generate distance. Graphite is popular because of its light feel. However, ball control is sacrificed by the increased power generated from the swing. n Loft is another term you will come across in your search. It refers to the height the ball will achieve in flight. Inexperienced players are generally encouraged to choose clubs with more loft as they are more forgiving on less

The right set of golf clubs can make a world of difference to your performance.

accurate swings. n Irons offer a variety of styles and options, broken down first into two categories: cast irons or forged irons. Cast iron heads are recommended for beginners. They provide a larger sweet spot and are more forgiving on accuracy. Forged irons feature a head with a flat, weighted back. This higher center of gravity means a more concentrated sweet spot and more control for experienced players. If you’re in the market for new clubs, remember that what’s right for one player may not be right for another. Club fitting with the help of a professional is a good place to start.

Golf tips for newcomers Few hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links. Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. Newcomers would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course. • Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot

of money. Many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you. • Take lessons. Even the very best at self-teaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. Learn from a professional, who won’t offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory but will offer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals. • Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren’t ready for the professional tour after your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don’t let some beginner’s frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game.

Existence of UFOs, suppressed cancer cure most believed

Conspiracies abound in B.C.: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

A recent poll shows a majority of B.C. residents believe UFOs exist and 38 per cent believe a cure for cancer has been found but is being suppressed by government or big pharmaceutical firms. Insights West president Steve Mossop said he was stunned by how many people reported believing in “some pretty outrageous conspiracy theories” in the polling firm’s latest survey. “I nearly fell off my chair,” he said. “It’s amazing the level of skepticism that exists around certain things that most would regard as scientific truths or historical events.” A large minority of 34 per cent buy one

of the John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, while 29 per cent believe that Princess Diana was assassinated or that human beings have been cloned.

Fully a quarter believe the 9/11 terror attacks were a U.S. government conspiracy. Fewer believed that lotteries are rigged (20 per cent), Osama Bin Laden is still alive (13 per cent), the moon landings were a hoax (10 per cent), Elvis is still alive (five per cent) or that dinosaurs never existed (four per cent.) A parallel poll of Albertans also placed UFOs and a suppressed cancer cure atop the list but at lower numbers of 45 and 36 per cent, respectively. The poll also asked questions about April Fool’s Day and found 55 per cent in B.C. have played a prank on someone on that day, while 71 per cent report being a victim.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Diamond In The Rock

Me A Tenor and Little Shop of Horrors last year, the show runs to April 27. 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 the 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 604-536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca

The annual Diamond In The Rock Youth Talent Search is back at South Surrey’s Roadhouse Grille until May 29 – giving local music fans a chance to catch some future stars-in-the-making. The weekly competition – highlighting Peninsula musical performers under the age of 19 – continues each Wednesday, 7-9 p.m. at the restaurant, 1781 King George Blvd. First week’s winner was singer Ava Carich, 14, who impressed judges with her version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. The contest offers prizes, merchandise and help with career development to contestants who make it through to the final round, and are chosen to perform at the concluding concert, Sunday, June 9 at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios, 1328 Johnston Rd. For more information, email contest organizer Dennis Peterson at ed.peterson@shaw.ca or visit Diamond In The Rock’s Facebook page.

Call for artists To celebrate the Craft Council of BC’s 40th Anniversary in 2013, Semiahmoo Arts, in partnership with the White Rock Museum & Archives, will present a juried exhibition of works, Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Transformative Power of Craft (Sept. 6 – Oct. 15). A response to the council’s anniversary theme – 10,000 Hours Invested: Crafts Past and Present – the exhibition invites craft artists on the Peninsula who have made a similar investment in their disciplines to submit one work or more (maximum three) that best represents their commitment. The aim of the exhibit is not only to showcase excellence in craft artistry, but also to educate the public, including children and youth. Wherever possible, artists are encouraged to participate in sharing the artistry and history of their craft through demonstration, lecture or other form of presentation. The exhibit will be housed in the main gallery at the White Rock Museum & Archives and artists may choose whether they would like these works to be for sale or not. Deadline for submissions is Fri-

Fools 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, opening Wednesday (April 10) at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Directed by Ryan Mooney, whose sure touch enlivened Lend

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 it’s 12th-annual black and white photo exhibition Saturday, April 13 at St. Mark’s Anglican Church in South Surrey.

Last-minute rush to return to PST

Baby clothes, sports gear a test to see if savings trickle down

Retailers want more tariff cuts Jeff Nagel

Tom Fletcher

Black Press

Retailers are optimistic they can persuade the federal government to go further in eliminating import tariffs on many products, reducing the lure of cross-border shopping for consumers. Retail Council of Canada vice-president Karen Proud said the retail industry is pleased Ottawa agreed in the March federal budget to cut all tariffs on sports gear and baby clothes, giving consumers a $76-million break. But, she said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apprehension other tariffs are going up three per cent on many products from countries like China and India, because Ottawa has bumped those nations back to a less-preferential tariff rate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to drive prices up in many product categories, while the government collects an extra $330 million. Worse, the change for China affects imports from other countries, like Bangladesh, which enjoys no tariff on exports to Canada because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underdeveloped. Proud said a Bangladeshi clothing manufacturer that uses some material from China would no longer qualify for the zero tariff and would suddenly be charged 18 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the government now to identify where we still have concerns,â&#x20AC;? Proud said. The aim now is to prove that eliminating tariffs on baby clothes and sports equipment, which were charged 2.5 to 18 per cent depending on the product, will work to help reduce cross-border shop-

If it can be demonstrated that most of the savings of the tariff cut actually trickles down to consumers in the form of lower prices â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just carved off by either suppliers or retailers â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the Retail Council of Canada will push for tariffs to drop on other product categories next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Footwear is definitely right at the top of our list,â&#x20AC;? Proud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the poster child example for cross-border shopping.â&#x20AC;?

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invited!

Because there are virtually no Canadian shoe manufacturers left, she said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;begs the questionâ&#x20AC;? of why thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any tariff at all. She cautioned shoppers shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see all of the tariff cuts flow through to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retailers have been taking a loss just trying to compete,â&#x20AC;? she said. U.S. retailers typically pay much lower to no import tariffs on much of what they sell compared to Canadian outlets, accounting for part of the differential in prices across the border.

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. last week, with a last-minute scramble by thousands of businesses to register to collect the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. were required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister of state for small business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,â&#x20AC;? Yamamoto said the night before the April 1 transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In most cases theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be paying the same as they did prior to April 1, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or buying a bike.â&#x20AC;?

The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. There are a few anomalies, such as insulation and weatherstripping, where sales tax falls by seven per cent as historic PST exemptions resumed Monday, but most retail purchases remain subject to both GST and PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. Business owners were asked to register online by going to www. pstinbc.ca Those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t register in time can still correct transactions made after the deadline, because the first online remittance of PST is expected at the end of May.

Opening weekend of Premier Baseball League rained out

Tritons young, ‘but they can all play’ Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he best thing about the pre-season – in any sport – is the abundance of hope. Every coach thinks his team is full of untapped potential, and no matter how the previous season ended, there is hope that the coming one will be a success. Every team is still undefeated, too. And for the White Rock Tritons, that unblemished record will stay intact for at least an extra week, after the BC Premier Baseball League’s opening two games were postponed due to rain Sunday afternoon. The Tritons were scheduled to play a doubleheader at South Surrey Athletic Park against the Vancouver Cannons. Now – weather permitting – they’ll open the year with two road games this Saturday against the North Shore Twins and North Vancouver’s Parkgate Park. The North Delta Blue Jays and Whalley Chiefs also saw their opening-weekend games rained out. The delayed start was frustrating for a Tritons team that, last week, was itching to get onto the field for some real games. “It’s been four months of working indoors, practicing… it’s been a long off-season,” Tritons’ head coach Russ Smithson said Friday. “We just got back from Arizona, where we played six games, too. It’s been good, but the boys want to play – there’s only so many simulations you can do before you want things to start (for real).” For the Tritons – who’ve missed the playoffs for three years in a row – qualifying for the post-season is the main goal, Smithson said. “Finish in the top four – that’s the goal every year,” he said. And to make it into the post-season – the top eight qualify – Smithson knows his club will need a much better start than last spring, when they started the 2012 campaign with a 5-12 record that left them playing catch-up the rest of the year. “Definitely, we need a better start, no question,” Smithson said. “It’s like they say about golf – you can’t win a tournament on a Thursday, but you sure can lose it on a Thursday. “You can’t fall behind too early in this league.” The Tritons are among the younger teams on the PBL circuit this season, with just four

The rest of the team is made up of players who played last season with the U16 Junior Tritons, including Zach Campagne, Daniel Cassino, Dylan Yeager and James Pavelick. “We should be a pretty solid team this year,” Smithson said. “Young, but they can

all play.” The coach, now in his third year at the helm of the senior squad – he previously coached the Junior Tritons – said the strength of his team should be its infielder. There is good depth at the catcher position, too, he added. “Our infielders are really outstanding,” he said. As for the team’s pitching staff, Smithson figures his team is in the same boat as many

around the league – good skill at the top end, but simply not a lot of depth. “Our top-end guys are really good… but after that, it thins out a bit,” he explained. “We only have six pitchers, so when you get into those four-game weekends, it could be tough. It’ll take some creative managing because you don’t want to wear anybody out.” As for the rest of the league, Smithson › see page 27

CHL honour comes day before contract for netminder

Brossoit signs with Flames Last week was an awfully big one for Cloverdale goaltender Laurent Brossoit. First, the 20-year-old netminder, who plays for the Western Hockey League’s Edmonton Oil Kings, was named the Vaughn Canadian Hockey League goaltender of the week, after leading his team into the second round of WHL playoffs. And if that weren’t cause enough for celebration, Brossoit topped that a day later by signing a three-year entry-level contract with the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames. Brossoit, the MVP of last year’s WHL playoffs, was a sixth-round draft choice (164th overall) of the Calgary Flames in the 2011 Entry Draft. In last week’s first-round playoff series against the Kootenay Ice, Brossoit won all three games he played, allowing just two goals on 70 shots. His goals-against average of 0.67 and save-percentage of .971 helped eliminate the Ice 4-1 in the bestof-seven series. In the third game of the series in Cranbrook, Brossoit earned second-star honours with a 24-save effort in a 7-1 victory. One night later, he earned his second shutout of the playoffs by making 20 saves and being named the first star in a 4-0

Brossoit is in his third season with the Oil Kings, who are facing the Medicine Hat Tigers in second-round WHL playoff action this week. Brossoit – who was among the final cuts for Canada’s World Junior Hockey Championship team in December – is the second local hockey product to sign with the Calgary Flames in

recent weeks. On March 31, it was announced that Cloverdale defenceman Tyler Wotherspoon – who plays for the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks – had also signed an entry-level deal with Calgary. Wotherspoon – whose Winterhawks are also still alive in the WHL playoffs – was a second-round pick (57th overall) by the Flames in the 2011 draft. – Black Press

Eagles to face Vees in BCHL final A day after they nabbed a spot in the BC Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup finals with a sweep of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, the Surrey Eagles found out who they’ll play – the defending champion Penticton Vees.

Interior Conference finals. The Eagles, by virtue of their first-place finish during the regular season, have home-ice advantage in the Fred Page Cup. Games 1 and 2 are set for Friday and Saturday at South Surrey Arena, while Games 3 and 4 will be played in Penticton on Monday and Tuesday of next week. The last three games of the series, if necessary, were set to be played April 18, 19 and

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

TRISHA LEE QUIRK MAY 11, 1970 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; APRIL 3, 2013 After a courageous three year battle with cancer, our beloved Trisha passed away at Hospice House in Kelowna on April 3, 2013. She is free of pain at last. Trisha will be forever loved and missed by her wife Richelle Chapman, daughter Alicia Quirk, mother Judy Chapman (Fred), father Dave Quirk (Marlet Magnusson), brother Kerry Quirk and nephew Riley, as well as many extendedbcclassified.com family members and friends. Trisha spent the first half of her life in White Rock and moved to Kelowna in 1992. Those fortunate enough to have spent time with Trisha often spoke of how touched they were by the experience her strength of spirit, independence, warmth, impeccable manners and, most especially, her loving heart. These qualities epitomized who Trisha truly was on the inside. An accomplished athlete, she played competitive sports in school but her real love was downhill skiing and on the slopes she was truly gifted. The abundant love, fierce loyalty and protectiveness that she had for her family was always evident through her actions and her words. Compassion, generosity and selflessness toward those less fortunate was Trishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core nature and she willingly shared whatever she could with anyone in need who crossed her path. We will miss her more than words could ever convey. The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation for the compassionate care given to Trisha by Dr. Marianne Taylor and her team at the Interior Cancer Centre and the incredible nurses and staff at Hospice House. The knowledge, expertise and loving support from these two groups made Trishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey, and ours with her, doable.
