Police consider charges after reports of vehicle driving through red light

Horrific crash kills five family members Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Five members of a Newton family are dead following a devastating crash at 176 Street and 32 Avenue Sunday. It occurred around 11 a.m., when a white 2012 Dodge Caravan travelling westbound on 32 Avenue struck a 1994 Toyota Corolla that was northbound on 176 Street. The collision sheared the car in half, flipped the minivan onto its roof and scattered debris for at least 100 metres. “We’ve got a father whose two kids, wife, mother and sister – all gone,” a Surrey RCMP spokesman said Monday. The victims – a three-year-old girl, her five-year-old brother, ❝We’ve got a their mom, aged 31, father whose their aunt, 47, and their two kids, wife, grandmother, 68 – were mother and sister struck as they passed through the intersec– all gone.❞ tion. The impact was so destructive, police could not immediately determine the make or model of the car. “One of the most horrific scenes I’ve ever seen,” Sgt. Dale Carr said at the scene, citing speed as a clear factor. “There are pieces of evidence where pieces of evidence shouldn’t be.” The driver, a 46-year-old Langley man, was airlifted to hospital and remains in serious but stable condition. › see page 4

Father defends son who was gunned down in South Surrey public execution

Gangland victim ‘sought new lifestyle’ Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

Victim’s wife and son at scene.

A man shot to death last week in South Surrey was not the gangster he has been characterized as, his father says. “He made some mistakes in his life – mistakes in judgment – and paid for them,” Jim Widdifield said of his son, Craig. “I’m not saying he was an angel, but he was not how he’s been portrayed at all,” he said. Craig Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in the Morgan Crossing parking lot, in the 15700block of Croydon Drive, just before 7 p.m. last Wednesday. It’s believed the shooter fled in a Jeep Cherokee and got into a silver or grey Volkswagen Passat near 28 Avenue and 165 Street.

White Rock pier repairs wrap up early Repair work on White Rock’s iconic pier has wrapped up – three weeks ahead of schedule. City officials announced Wednesday that final cleanup steps were underway, and the barge used during the work would be pulling out with the 2 p.m. tide.

“The repairs went well and we’re pleased to fully re-open the pier ahead of schedule,” said Jamie Leggatt, the city’s communications officer. The work – repairing and replacing damaged piles and cross-braces – got underway in mid-March and

Officer in charge urges businesses to turn away gang members

We do not want your dirty money: Fordy Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Lance Peverley photo

Chief Supt. Bill Fordy.

Police in Surrey are calling on local businesses to help them take a stand against gang members by refusing their patronage. The Surrey RCMP will be at the side of those that do, said Surrey’s Officer in Charge Bill Fordy during a news conference Thursday, a day after Craig Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in what police say was a targeted, gangland shooting at Morgan Crossing shopping centre. Fordy said that in the coming days, the message would be sent out to all gangsters in Surrey. “You are not welcome here,” Fordy said. “I am redirecting the men and women that work for me to go out and interact with those in the criminal element, also to attend the places they frequent,

places like restaurants, bars and gyms.” He asked that owners of those establishments deliver a message to gangsters: “We do not want you here, and we do not want your dirty money.” Officers from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said they will share information about all gangsters known to them, and that some of that may also be made public. Fordy said it’s time for the community to begin seeing this as a societal problem. “We’ve had enough,” he said. “It is time for us as a society to stand together and to stop this violence.” The tough stance comes after last week’s death brings to 11 the number of murders in Surrey this year. In all of last year, there were 10 murders. On Jan. 13, Manjot Dhillon was shot dead near

168 Street and 76 Avenue. Later that night, John McGiveron and Geordie Carlow, both 33, were found shot to death near 128 Street and 94 Avenue. On Jan. 15, Manjinder Singh Hairan, 29, was gunned down near 127 Street and 112B Avenue. And on Jan 28, police found the body of Jaskaran Singh Sandhu at 123 Street and Colebrook Road. On Feb. 19, Janice Shore succumbed after a severe beating in Whalley. Then on Feb. 21, Vimal Chand, 29, was found murdered in a car near Hyland Elementary School at 66 Avenue and 140 Street. On March 14, police found the body of Brett Lietz at 125A Street and Colebrook Road. A wider search turned up the body of Nicole Brochu. On March 19, RCMP were called to a duplex at 13049 103 Ave. for an unconscious woman. Jackie Olson, 43, had been stabbed and died at the scene.

Student teacher victimizes girl

Bail hearing scheduled

‘Sexual sadist’ gets 26 months

Chemical case back in court Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A former Surrey student teacher who violently sexually assaulted a 15-year-old student during a master/slave scenario has been sentenced to 26 months in federal prison. It was May 2010, and Michael Herrera, then 24, was completing his final practicum – classroom experience required to be certified as a B.C. teacher – when he developed a relationship with the teen girl. (There is a publication ban on any information that could identify the victim.) The girl had written an autobiography in which she told about her difficult childhood, which included sexual abuse. Herrera read it and, in turn, shared with her the abuse he had suffered when he was young. The teen felt a connection. The two began emailing and sending wireless messages to one another. The evidence, said prosecutor Winston Sayson during sentencing at New Westminster Supreme Court on Friday, shows Herrera began “grooming” the young victim to get closer to her. “What the accused did… was despicable, disturbing and devastating,” Sayson said. “This is made more reprehensible as the accused knew the vulnerability of the victim.” Herrera began by telling her she was a talented writer – affirmation she welcomed, given her background, Sayson said. The student teacher then began touching her and suggested they meet somewhere in the Surrey high school that didn’t have cameras. There, he partially disrobed her and touched her intimately. The teen sent him a message saying she was conflicted, that she knew students and teachers shouldn’t be engaged in such activities. Herrera responded by saying “It’s wrong but it feels right. “It feels good. I want you,” he said. “What is so bad about being selfish? Is it bad to be happy? I don’t think so.” The two then planned to meet at Herrera’s home on May 17, 2010, when they would engage in a master/slave sexual encounter. Herrera told the girl they’d discuss the “rules” upon her arrival, but to “be prepared to turn your body over to me for whatever purposes I see fit.” The victim cried in court as details of her

Michael Herrera, seen outside court Friday, engaged in master/slave scenario with a student. discussions with Herrera were read. The court heard that she was nervous and fearful going to his house. When they started getting intimate, she had second thoughts and tried to escape, screaming and saying a pre-arranged “safe word” to indicate she wanted to stop. But Herrera caught her and put his hand over her mouth. He then forced her to have violent intercourse. He then made her do the dishes and wash the floor, all the while degrading her, hitting her and calling her demeaning names. He had intercourse with her twice more, hit her with a belt, bit her, pulled her hair and choked her before she left his home that afternoon. Herrera told her not to tell anyone what had happened and to delete all her emails. Overwhelmed and confused, the teen confided in her friends and parents, and police were called. A sexual assault exam at the hospital revealed bruising and tearing – 29 injuries in all. The girl informed Herrera she had told people,

and he advised her to say it was hallucinations. Last fall, he pleaded guilty to sexual assault. The victim, about six inches shorter and half the weight of Herrera, took the stand to tell about the impact of the assault. She said she’s suffered nightmares, memory loss and had trouble finishing school. Her relationships with friends and family also suffered greatly, and she has physical scars that serve as reminders. “I felt stupid and vulnerable to allow myself to trust so easily,” said the girl, now 18. During psychological evaluation, Herrera was diagnosed as a sexual sadist. On Friday, he stood in court and apologized. Facing the judge, he said he was sorry for the terrible ramifications he caused the teen and her family. “I feel like I should look over (at the victim), but I’m very ashamed,” he said. “I’m sorry. I know nothing like this would ever happen again.”

A White Rock man facing charges in connection with chemicals seized in January is due back in court Friday for a bail hearing, following yet another postponement of the file in Surrey Provincial Court. Prosecutor Janet Dickie told the court earlier this month that the lawyer representing Hamish Norman Sutherland is tied up with the Queen of the North case underway in Vancouver. Kevin Westell is among lawyers defending Karl Lilgert against charges of criminal negligence causing death laid in connection with the ferry’s March 2006 sinking. That trial got underway in mid-January, and has resulted at least twice in the postponement of Sutherland’s bail proceedings, most recently on April 12. Sutherland, 34, has been in custody since Jan. 24, after an anonymous tip led police to a cache of chemicals in a thirdfloor Prospect Avenue apartment. The search was executed by White Rock police and officers with the Explosive Disposal and Chemical/Biological/Radiological/ Nuclear Response Unit, the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Services, Emergency Response Team and White Rock firefighters. Sutherland has been agreeable to the hearing delays, a spokesperson for Westell told Peace Arch News. The hearing is now expected to proceed on May 3. Sutherland is charged with making or possessing explosives and “possession of firearm, etc. contrary to order.” He is also charged with breach of probation in connection with the incident. At the time of his arrest, Sutherland was on probation in connection with a 2009 incident in New Westminster, in which he was charged with possession of chemicals for dangerous purposes.

‘Pure chaos’ as man gunned down SUSAN › from page 1 The incident triggered “pure chaos,” he said. “Everyone was kind of screaming and in shock. It looked like the victim was deceased almost instantly. It was quick.” Fordy expressed great concern that the incident occurred in a residential area and said substantial police resources have been deployed. He described the shooting as “eerily similar” to one that occurred in a Burnaby parking lot in 2010 and that was considered a targeted and gangrelated execution. Gurmit Singh Dhak was sitting in his BMW at Metrotown Shopping Centre when he was shot in the face. The victim’s father told PAN Monday that he learned what had happened from his daughter-in-law, who had rushed to the scene with the couple’s young son, and was seen crying and running towards police, saying “tell me that’s not my husband.” “She told us the police were going to notify us, but she said she told them ‘I don’t want you going there,’” Jim Widdifield said, his voice cracking with emotion. “She said ‘I want to tell my motherand father-in-law myself.’” Jim Widdifield last saw his son – a Semiahmoo Secondary alumnus who had played on the same Kennedy Surrey baseball team as major-leaguer Adam Loewen – two days before the shooting,

He described him as a loving son, husband and father. “People who knew him can tell you what a loving, caring individual he was, and what a forgiving person he was. He was the last person in the world who would hurt somebody.” He was also turning his life around and excited about a new business venture that would take him and his family away from his previous lifestyle, he said. “(Craig) was so happy – I hadn’t seen him so happy for a long time. He talked about buying some land, building a home, maybe getting his son into a private school. The only shining light about the whole thing is that we can see him living through his son.” Widdifield said he had fre-

quently talked with his son about breaking with his past associations, and said he knew Craig’s wife and child were strong motivators for making a change. “I don’t know any of his (past) dealings, nor do I want to. I knew by his lifestyle that something was going on and that nothing good could come of it.” Widdifield said he plans to make an appeal for an end to the violence at his son’s funeral Friday, which he believes some former associates will attend. “I’m going to be making a plea,” he said. “All this violence has got to stop, in Craig’s name. Instead of taking vengeance, I’m asking that if anybody knows something about what happened, they take it to the police. Somebody’s got to stop this violence.”

Crash › from page 1 Neighbour Fabio Nicoli told CTV News at the scene Sunday that the impact of the vehicles shook his house. “All you hear is – bam – a bomb go off. The house vibrated,” he said. Nicoli described the aftermath as a scene that made him want to cry. “Just seeing a little baby, seeing when they were covering the body,” he said. “I was sitting there with one of the firefighters and he was bawling.” At a news conference Monday, Surrey RCMP Insp. Lee Chanin said it is likely that the van’s driver will face charges. Police are investigating witness reports that allege the van went through a red light. The RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is investigating. Chanin appealed to media to respect the family’s privacy. “You could put yourself in the family’s shoes, when someone is to lose three generations of their family, how they would feel. It’s a devastating loss.” The intersection was closed for several hours as police investigated.

The appeal of a man serving a life sentence in connection with the November 2005 death of his common-law wife in South Surrey was heard in court last week. As family members of victim Lisa Cubin and appellant Bradley Benham listened from the gallery, defense counsel Richard Fowler outlined his client’s application to advance fresh evidence, and an “allegation of the ineffective assistance of counsel” to B.C. Court of Appeal Chief Justice Lance Finch and Justices David Frankel and Anne MacKenzie in Vancouver. “The essence of the claim is trial counsel’s advice to the appellant that he should not testify and no defensive evidence needed to be called… did not in the circumstances of this case meet the standard,” Fowler said. “The defense position was not properly advanced.” Benham was convicted of second-degree murder in November 2008, three years after 35-year-old Cubin was found dead on her living room floor after a birthday party for their young daughter. An autopsy determined Cubin had been strangled. While the case against Benham was built entirely on cirVolunteer cumstantial evidence, following a 19-day trial in B.C. Supreme Appreciation

editorial

Paying a price to visit the U.S.

merica wants to charge us for the privilege of visiting. The United States Department of Homeland Security proposed earlier this month a crossing fee for visitors traversing America’s northern and southern borders. Such a fee, they contend, would help the department pay for the ever-increasing cost of keeping Americans safe. And with a deficit already at more than a trillion dollars, combined with the indefatigable sense of paranoia that has gripped many of that country’s legislators since the terror attacks of 9-11, that cost is becoming onerous. So why not hit up people crossing the border to buy a brick of cheese or fill up the gas tank in their car, or spending thousands of dollars on vacation to California? After all, income tax was supposed to be a temporary measure, and eventually everyone just became resigned to it as a less-than-beloved necessity. A border tax isn’t a new idea. It gets floated every few years and is inevitably shot down by strong lobbying from border states that, perhaps rightfully, dread the hit their economies would take if Canadians decided it would be just as cheap to buy their cheese at home. With the Boston Marathon bombings still fresh in peoples’ minds – bringing with it the hue and cry to tighten security everywhere, costs be damned – a border-crossing fee is a tempting source of revenue. Charging the 350 million travellers who cross into the United States every year a few bucks every time they go through a border station would buy a lot of X-ray screeners and bomb-sniffing wands. Not to mention pay the inflated salaries and pensions of bureaucrats who cook up and administer such programs. But on the flip side, those same travellers contribute $21 billion annually to the American economy, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs. Just south of the Peninsula, Washington communities such as Blaine and Bellingham have surely felt the economic boost provided when Canadians zip across the line for a few necessities. Even chipping away a bit of that would be devastating to a lot of gas station operators, hotels and grocery stores, just as border communities here in B.C. feel the pinch from ever-increasing hordes of shoppers headed south to save a few dollars.

ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs….” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the BC Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims that the BC Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The BC Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the BC Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The BC Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the “fully costed” NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

Tests should be made public Editor: Re: Stop misuse of school tests: Larsen, April 23. As a Grade 9 student at Semiahmoo Secondary, I am learning about biased writing in school. I couldn’t help but notice that your article about the FSA testing was very one-sided against the FSAs. The entire article was what a school trustee thinks about the “controversial issue” of FSA tests. Shouldn’t such an article present both sides of the “controversial issue,” so readers can make their own decision? My opinion, having written the FSAs a few years ago, is that they were actually beneficial to my education. FSAs are a chance for students in Grade 7 to learn to write tests similar to exams they will write in high school, without the pressure. The FSAs are standardized tests that let everyone know which schools are falling behind. Of course, private schools will do better, because they can select the students they want, while public schools take everyone. Parents should know to take this and other factors into account when choosing a school. Perhaps separating the rankings into public/private categories would make them more accurate. I think it’s very important to know if students are not at the level that they should be, and if they are not, to determine the reason. Once we know that, we can improve the education system by amending the schools that need it. The solution is not to eliminate the only standardized test that elementary schools have. The amount of “precious instruction time” wasted is negligible compared to the valuable information that the FSAs give. Elise Burgert, White Rock

bottle of scotch to each other. At the far east side, before the parking lot, I saw three guys who were clearly doing a deal of some kind. What really struck me is that I didn’t spot one police officer. Not even a bylaw officer. Not one. I circled back and ended up at my car. The same young guy was curled up on the grass still. I asked his buddies if he needed a drive somewhere; they ensured they would keep an eye on him. They were quite polite and said thanks for my concern. All of this happened in a 45-minute run. Where were the police? On my drive home I finally spotted the police. They had pulled over four kids with longboards. I recognized one who is a really nice polite kid who lives on my street. What a waste of police resources. Enforcing a foolish bylaw that takes away a healthy outdoor sport from a city that could be an example of what longboarding could be as a sport or even as a healthy activity. What a waste of tax money. What a waste of such a valuable resource as a police officer. White Rock needs to wake up and focus on what’s important.

Why bust a kid on a longboard when all this other garbage is right in our faces? After nearly 40 years of living here I am speaking up for my city. Wake up, White Rock! Stuart Mitchell, White Rock

Bordering on fiscal suicide Editor: Re: Bolting for border taxes business, Feb. 26 editorial. Since your editorial, the following has transpired, actions which only serve to exacerbate the “beatings will continue until morale improves” attitude with which the Canadian taxpayer/customer is treated. The Canadian federal government increases tariffs, and therefore the final cost, of dozens of items, while Canadian businesses seek to charge customers additional fees, and therefore the final cost for purchases made by the use of credit cards – and both profess to not understand why so many choose to make their purchases south of the border, where neither

action is in play and customers are welcomed, not treated as an annoying interruption to some more important activity. Given that so many products are already far more expensive here than there, to do anything that increases that inequity seems to border on fiscal suicide. Nick Mayar, Delta

Perhaps revive death sentence Editor: With terrorism becoming more popular throughout the world, do you think that our politicians might consider a return to capital punishment for convicted terrorists and murderers, instead of giving them jail time and eventual return to society? The laws today don’t seem to be much of a deterrent, and criminals are favoured more than the ordinary citizen. The last couple weeks have just been very discouraging. Should we start a movement for more severe treatment of the criminals? Marty Eisner, Surrey

Priorities skate over real issues Editor: After my kids are in bed, I will often go for a run along the boardwalk at the beach. Last Wednesday, it was sunny and beautiful, so I knew it would be packed with people. Not a problem, I thought. I started at West beach, where four young guys were standing around their buddy who was passed out in a heap on the grass. I ran to the pier, where at the foot of the stairs leaning against the rails were seven big young guys passing dope to each other – taking big puffs and blowing the smoke around for the young families and kids to endure. I ran too close to them and one lunged out at me. I teach, so kids don’t worry me. I smiled and said ‘hi’ and kept running. On the way to East Beach, I passed one group of kids passing a

Non-traditional work, beyond the 9-5, are making it more difficult for parents to find support, writes Susan Wingate.

Childcare fails today’s families Editor: Is there sufficient daycare for children in South Surrey and White Rock that is affordable and flexible? Based on our research, we believe this is not the case. At our annual general meeting April 22, the provincial council of our club, Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), updated our policy on early learning and childcare. That policy urges our provincial government to develop and implement a comprehensive and integrated plan based on the principles of quality, universality and accessibility, and to implement, as a top priority, new and sustainable funding for the operation and maintenance of developmentally appropriate earlylearning and childcare programs. CFUW White Rock/Surrey and our B.C. council have advocated strongly on the urgent need for an integrated system of care which supports families. Our research

has shown that families are facing long and costly wait lists for childcare. The current patchwork of services makes it difficult for families to find affordable childcare that fits with their schedules. Our workforce has a wide variety of schedules which are becoming increasingly non-traditional. Currently, our early-learning and childcare schedules reflect traditional 9-5 work schedules. This is not serving the need of many South Surrey and White Rock families. It is time for our government to implement an earlylearning and childcare plan that will create quality, affordable and flexible childcare spaces and pay early childhood educators a decent wage. We challenge each candidate in the upcoming provincial election to make this issue a priority of his/ her election platform. Susan Wingate, CFUW White Rock/Surrey president

South Surrey lunch features David Suzuki CEO

Focus on ‘natural’ wealth Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

More than a dozen Peninsula politicians and business leaders attended a luncheon last week aimed at increasing awareness of the human impact on local ecosystems. Featuring guest speaker Peter Robinson, CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation, Thursday’s luncheon – hosted by the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce and held at the Morgan Creek Golf Club – covered a range of topics including the importance of recognizing the connection between nature and the economy. “We’re talking about natural capital as a tool to help us, all of us, deal with the negative and unintended consequences of human activity and mechanisms that would integrate nature back into our communities,” Robinson said. “Economics has largely been detached from environmental sciences, which is unfortunate, but that’s what happened.” Robinson noted that the base of economics was the allocation of scarce resources, but added that there remains silence on the natural foundation of production – the Earth. “Today, nature has become a scarce resource.

A century ago, the only limiting factor to the province’s fishing industry was the number of fishing boats in the water. Now, it’s the number of fish. Something has shifted,” he said. While he admitted there was clearly room for improvement, Robinson lauded Surrey for the steps it had taken in recent years to preserve and protect its natural resources, including a sustain-

ability charter and a bio-diversity conservation strategy. “Surrey is in a real key place right now in the Lower Mainland to drive the kind of changes that are needed,” he said. “Without healthy ecosystems and species diversity, we can’t hope to have a healthy economy.” For more information on upcoming chamber events, visit www.sswrchamberofcommerce. ca

Licensing bylaw not necessary: Stanton

‘No cat crisis’ in White Rock Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An alleged “cat crisis” in B.C. does not appear to be mirrored in the City of White Rock, council has heard. In a report that was to be presented Monday night (after Peace Arch News’ press deadline), the city’s director of development services states a request to explore the waterfront city’s feline situation found no apparent need for a cat-licensing bylaw. “In the past year, only one complaint has been received by the bylaw officers concerning cats, and that was related to a complaint of a neighbour’s cat using their flower bed as a litter box,” Paul Stanton writes. “Cat over-population does not appear to be a problem in White Rock at present and staff do not perceive any need to establish a Cat Licensing Bylaw.” Council last month asked city staff to look into the situation in response to Feb. 28 letter from

White Rock does not need a cat-licensing bylaw, says staff. the Federation of BC Naturalists regarding a “cat crisis” in B.C. municipalities. President John Neville asked the city to create a program for cat licensing that would include neutering and restraining cats from roaming at large. Neville points to a recent report out of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., that found free-ranging

cats “are likely to be the leading human-linked cause of death for birds and mammals, surpassing habitat destruction, collisions with structures such as buildings, and pesticide poisoning.” “Almost every city, town and municipality in B.C. has a cat crisis,” his letter states. In recommending not pursuing the requested bylaw, Stanton notes it “could have significant budgetary impacts” for White Rock, as it could result in a need for additional clerical staff and bylaw officers. As well, it could generate the potential need for the housing and euthanization of unclaimed cats that get picked up running at large, Stanton notes. “Staff recommend maintaining the status quo for the time being unless or until cat over-population becomes a more immediate problem.” Council was to vote on whether to receive the report, direct staff to prepare a bylaw or direct staff to undertake further research.

A man who pleaded guilty to a violent attack in White Rock – following the sale of an amplifier that went sour – is now being sought by the police. A warrant was issued Thursday morning for Tyrone Stuart McDougall, after he failed to appear for his sentencing hearing at Surrey Provincial Court. McDougall and co-defendant Robert Dean Orr both pleaded guilty in December to charges of assault and assault causing bodily harm. They had been arrested as a result of a May 4 incident in which two men were attacked in a home in the 15300block of Pacific Avenue. According to Crown counsel Angela Lee, the McDougall and Orr had gone to the home to collect money owed from the sale of the amplifier. One man at the home was beaten when neither money or the equipment was forthcoming, and a second man was also assaulted when he arrived at the residence. Orr was handed nine months in jail in December, with credit for three months already served.

Hannah Seamen sets her sights on Miss World Canada competition

Leading the fight to end stutter stigma Brenda Anderson

Times Reporter

or much of her childhood, Hannah Seaman woke up every morning wishing she was someone else. Anyone else. As a young teen, the Langley Fine Arts School student would spend weekends alone in her room playing video games, doing her best to avoid being seen or heard. “It’s not a healthy thing for a 13-year-old girl to do,” Seaman, now 22, acknowledges. But if she hid, perhaps it’s understandable, because the Langley woman – who works as an Internet sales co-ordinator at Gold Key Volkswagen South Surrey in White Rock – was bullied the majority of her childhood, simply for being different – for stuttering. “I didn’t know how to make friends, how to keep friends, how to be social,” she said of her early school years. “It sucked.” Today, as the reigning Miss B.C., Seaman is getting set to compete for the title of Miss World Canada. But in many ways she’s already won a much more valuable prize – self-acceptance. With her sparkling dark eyes and infectious smile, combined with a quick wit and relaxed demeanor, it’s tough to picture the old Hannah Miranda Gathercole photo as she describes herself. After overcoming bullying, Hannah Seamen has set her sights on the Miss World Canada competition. Although she stumbles over a few words, there aren’t too many worried that she was setting herself “Darren (Storsley) came into one “It was in December, we were sounds that appear to give her a lot of my classes when I was in Grade up for heartbreak. walking home from school and of difficulty anymore.

Francine worried that her daughter was entering a negative and competitive environment. Instead, she said, it was an “incredibly positive” place where the contestants encouraged and inspired one another. “That was the beginning of real change for Hannah,” said Francine. “She has confidence now – not just in herself, but she’s gained a confidence in people. Being out in the world and dealing with people more has helped her. “Whatever happens in the pageant, she’s won anyway.” ••• Seaman didn’t win the first pageant she entered – Miss Teen Fraser Valley 2005. Instead, she went home with the title of most photogenic. Her next attempt earned her a spot as fourth runner up for Miss Teen Canada. In 2012, she was crowned Miss B.C., following in the footsteps of another Langley woman – Tara Teng, who won the title two years earlier before going on to be named Miss World Canada. On May 8 and 9, Seaman will compete for the national title at River Rock casino in Richmond. Beyond pageant life, Seaman’s busy schedule has included working on behalf of the British Columbia Association of People who Stutter (BCAPS) as a public -relations representative and board member. And in February. she was interviewed on radio by CKNW’s Simi Sara, as part of anti-bullying day programming. As the date of her competition approaches, Seaman is busy preparing for the first swimsuit event of her pageant career. “I’ve been going to the gym like crazy,” she laughed. She has also taken up kickboxing to help her get into shape. The sport, it turns out, offers both a physical and emotional workout, she noted. Next month, she’ll take that fighting spirit to the River Rock where Seaman will recite a monologue. “My whole platform is facing your fears, head-on.”

Lottie Cameron turns 100

Centenarian celebrates Not many people can say they have lived under the same roof with as many prisoners as Lottie Cameron. The centenarian celebrated her milestone 100th birthday April 11 with family, who shared many fond memories, including the unusual setup of the Cameron home in Rosevalley, Sask. As Lottie’s husband, Alec, was an RCMP officer in the remote community – with the closest town being Yorkton – the couple were provided with their home. The one condition: the basement would be a jail. “If they had a woman prisoner, Miss Lottie would be the matron and had to deal with her,” said Karen Legge, recreation co-ordinator at Crescent Gardens retirement community, where Lottie now resides. Legge noted Lottie’s involvement with the jail also extended to food, as all prisoners received a home-cooked

meal from her. In that same home, Lottie’s two children, Joy and Ronald, grew up, along with the “deputy” – their German shepherd police dog. The Neepawa, MB. native met her Mountie in 1933, while living in Regina, after he spotted her in the church choir. Following a five-year engagement, the two were married in 1938, before their move to Rosevalley. Following Alec’s death, Lottie moved to White Rock to be closer to her son and daughter-in-law. She celebrated the day with well-wishes from her extensive family, including her six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Community advocate Huddy Roddan remembered

‘She inspired everyone’ Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

riends and family are remembering the many achievements of community champion Hulda ‘Huddy’ Roddan in the weeks after her death. The longtime Crescent Beach resident passed away March 27, just shy of her 92nd birthday. Huddy was a staunch advocate for affordable housing on the Peninsula, which son, George, credits to her upbringing in rural Saskatchewan. “She picked up that attitude from her family, who were huge CCF and then NDP supporters. They were very big on social-welfare issues,” George said. Huddy and husband Sam did extensive work in the Downtown Eastside, where he lived after moving from Manitoba to B.C. in 1929, and on the Peninsula with Camp Alexandra after the couple married and moved to Crescent Beach in 1954. There, the couple raised their three children – George, Janet and Maggie – with Huddy balancing a full plate of family and social activism, George noted. “In our family, dad was kind of the dreamer and artist and poet. Mom was really the practical person and she was always helping people,” he said.

George recalled an early memory when his mother took him to deliver Christmas hampers to those in need in their community. To his shock, many of the people receiving the holiday boost were his own friends. “I didn’t realize they were poor, but during the ’50s and ’60s in Crescent Beach, there were many poor people,” he said. “Crescent Beach and White Rock back then don’t bear any resemblance to today.” Seeing the growing need for community services in her own backyard, the former Vancouver General Hospital nurse spurred to action, joining the community mental-health board in the mid1960s and later creating the Semiahmoo Peninsula Affordable Housing Society in 1987, along with friend and former White Rock councillor Margaret Lower. Through the society, Huddy worked to organize support for low-income families, despite community opposition, recalled Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve. “She worked with partners and with BC Housing to establish Newton Green and Rosemary Green,” Villeneuve said. “They went through some very difficult public hearings because of people’s fears of subsidized housing. “But Huddy stood strong. She

was determine to get those projects through. And she did.” For more than 30 years, Villeneuve received guidance from Huddy, who encouraged the Surrey councillor to run for office in 1987. “When I was elected, Huddy was right by my side. She helped support me through difficult times and worked on a number of policies with me, including multicultural and anti-racism policies, which laid the brickwork for the Social Planning Advisory Committee,” Villeneuve said. “She was a major mentor and a close friend.” Friends Kathy Booth and Pat Petrala echoed Villeneuve, noting that Huddy’s tenacity often encouraged others to do more. “She really inspired everyone she met. She was dedicated to improving the lives of not only individuals, but families around the world,” said Booth. “Huddy was a tireless advocate.” For Petrala, who met Huddy in 2000 after moving to the Peninsula from Ottawa, Huddy became a mother-figure, following the death of her own mother that same year. “She was a mentor to so many women on the Peninsula,” Petrala said. “Huddy and Margaret (Lower)… connected me, mentored me and encouraged me to get involved.”

Enjoy the life you’ve always dreamed E

veryone dreams of vacationing on a nice sandy beach. Why settle for dreaming of this fabulous holiday when you can live it each and every day at Pacific Carlton and Sunnyside Manor? With beautiful White Rock Beach and Crescent Beach only minutes away, life at these elegant retirement residences in the heart of the Semiahmoo Peninsula will make your dream come true. Pacific Carlton and Sunnyside Manor are a nice, leisurely stroll away from uptown White Rock, where you will find the local shopping mall, restaurants, medical clinics and banks. With a unique English manorthemed exterior, Sunnyside Manor exudes a warm, homelike atmosphere throughout its modernly designed interior. The suites are large, with high ceilings, many of them with their own built-in fireplace, and include a kitchenette and plenty of storage. A number of these modern, renovated suites – which are also pet friendly – have a balcony or garden patio to enjoy the seaside community’s beautiful weather. Sunnyside also has a new double-sized suite available, featuring a full kitchen, large

living room, vaulted ceilings, fireplace and two balconies. A highlight for residents and staff alike is Sunnyside’s lush courtyard, beautifully landscaped and furnished with a gazebo, swing chairs, benches and quaint statues.

And with a full-time activities co-ordinator on-hand, Sunnyside residents have no shortage of fun things to take part in, from group exercise

classes to movie nights. Particularly popular among residents are the exciting bus excursions, which take place weekly and include destinations such as the Reifel Bird Sanctuary and Buchart Gardens, to name a few.

An open-concept foyer with a large, cascading water fountain gives Pacific Carlton the feeling of a luxury resort, but with the warm, welcoming ambience of home. With exceptionally large suites – the majority over 1,000 square feet – residents of Pacific Carlton enjoy generous balconies, cozy fireplaces, full-sized kitchens and dining rooms and in-suite washers and dryers. The common areas are equally as eye-catching – from the bright and comfy atrium to the elegant dining room, residents can often be found enjoying a cup of tea or a delicious, freshcooked meal. Offering full breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – with four different mouth-watering

dinner options – plus an extensive salad bar with a variety of freshly made salad options, residents always have something delicious and nutritious on hand. Both Sunnyside Manor and Pacific Carlton offer independent living for their residents, with the option of assisted living, should they need a little extra help. With 24-hour staff and security on-hand, plus emergency-response systems built in to each and every suite, residents and their families can rest assured they are in good hands. Additional amenities

on-site include a hair salon, computer lounge, library and billiards room, and weekly housekeeping and bus services to local appointments and shopping centers are also available.

or many seniors in White Rock/ South Surrey and beyond, the Kent Street Activity Centre plays a pivotal role in helping to keep active, engaged and entertained. The popular destination for adults 55 and older is celebrating a milestone anniversary next month – 40 years on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. It was May 19, 1973 that Kent Street Activity Centre was officially opened by Mayor A.E. Wall and the council of the day. A plaque that hangs at the centre proclaims the centre “Dedicated to senior citizens for their use and enjoyment.” Four decades later, the activity centre is more popular than ever, according to Clive Griffiths, chair of the Kent Street Activity Centre’s executive committee, who estimated the current membership to be around 1,300 seniors. The range of activities that take place at the centre are as diverse as its membership – from carpet bowlers to choristers, knitters to crib enthusiasts. The most popular club at Kent Street Activity Centre, however, is its computer club. “That one has close to 200 members,” Griffiths said, noting the centre’s free parking lot is often full on days the computer club meets. “It’s of general interest for anybody who wants to learn about computers.” Next to the computer group, the snooker club is also well attended, attracting upwards of 60 members who play five and a half days a week.

Table tennis, carpet bowling and bingo are just a few of the other activities that Kent Street members actively take part in. “Probably the most widely recognized of all the groups that attracts people from as far as Delta and other places is the dance group,” Griffiths said.

The upgrade was a long time coming, said Griffiths, who noted that members raised about $80,000 over the past 10 years for the renovation work. Combined with funds from the city, plus $59,000 that a former member left to the centre in a legacy fund, the new-and-improved kitchen is almost ready to be unveiled. The centre will be hosting a grand opening celebration May 16 to unveil the brandnew kitchen.

April 30 - May 4, 2013 ARIES

LIBRA

Aries, you may feel like you need to move faster to get ahead, but the opposite is true this week. Slow down and focus on the details and you will benefit.

Libra, you need to rely on someone this week for a big project, but you don't know who to choose. Make a list of your best prospects, and then you can narrow it down from there.

TAURUS

Arbor DAy [ S At u r D Ay, M Ay 4 ] 1 0 A M - 1 p M | t. E . S c o t t p A r k (148 Street at 70 Avenue)

Taurus, though the first few days of the week may seem disastrous, hang in there and you will find things will turn around quite quickly.

GEMINI Gemini, sometimes you have to make some noise to be heard, which may seem out of character for you. If the cause is that important, you will do what is necessary.

CANCER

elp h d n a t u o e m o C s ’ y e r r u S w o r g us Urban Forest!

Cancer, you can't get enough of a certain thing, but you may need to pace yourself. Otherwise your interest may start to wane. A surprise situation arises on Thursday.

LEO Join us to help plant 50 shade trees in this brand new park and enjoy a free hot dog lunch (while supplies last.) Learn more about why trees are so important in your community! Fun for all ages! Take a ride to the tree tops in a bucket truck, play games and enjoy live music.

Leo, there are things you need to say to a particular person in your life. But you do not know how to express your opinions in a way that's easy to understand. Speak from the heart.

VIRGO You may be feeling a bit under the weather this week, Virgo. It's likely due to you pushing your schedule to the limits. Schedule some recovery time for yourself.

SCORPIO You can use a break from the daily grind, Scorpio. It might be time to plan a getaway. You may want to make this a solo trip so you can fully recharge.

SAGITTARIUS The truth can sometimes hurt a bit, Sagittarius. But a dose of honesty this week provides the reality check you have been needing. Make some changes.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, an event this week gets you fired up and excited. It could be the news you have been waiting to hear from work or from a significant other.

AQUARIUS Aquarius, knowing when to keep quiet can be difficult, especially when you suspect something is off-kilter. This week you will be put to the test.

PISCES Pisces, the week may begin somewhat aimlessly, but things will all come together by the middle of the week.

Lots of fun activities for kids including a bouncy castle, face painting and crafts! For more information: 604-502-6065 or environment@surrey.ca

Top two teams from Western Canada Cup advance to national championship

Eagles fall to Bandits in first game Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Penalties hurt the Surrey Eagles Saturday, as the BC Hockey League champions opened the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup with a 4-2 loss to the Brooks Bandits in Nanaimo. The Bandits, the top team from the Alberta Junior Hockey League, twice took advantage of Eagle penalties with power-play goals, and added a third goal on a penalty shot en route to the win. The Eagles had plenty of jump in the early stages of Saturday’s game against Brooks, generating a few good scoring chances, but it was the Bandits who scored first.

Brooks made it 1-0 late in the period when, during a goal-mouth scramble for a loose puck, Brandon Bruce fired the puck past Eagles’ netminder Michael Santaguida. “We didn’t have the greatest of starts,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “But it’s good to get the first game out of the way, and get settled in.” The second period is where the game got away from Surrey, in large part because of penalties. With Colton Mackie in the penalty box for slashing, Brooks’ Mark Reners pounced on a rebound to extend the Albertans’ lead to 2-0. Then, just 1:28 later – this time with Demico Hannoun in the sin bin –

the Bandits scored again when R.J. Reed rifled a shot from the point that tipped off a Surrey stick and into the net. The Eagles finally got on the board in the third period – on a power play of their own – when Brady Shaw chipped a rebound past Brooks’ goalie Michael Fredrick, who made 40 saves in the win. Brooks regained its three-goal cushion 10 minutes later when Cam Maclise – the team’s leading scorer – scored on a penalty shot; he had been awarded the shot after he was hooked, while on a breakaway, by Eagles’ defenceman Devon Toews. Drew Best scored in the game’s final minute to make it 4-2.

Heading into the tournament, Brooks was considered by many the favourite to win it, after a regular season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League that saw them lose just four times in regulation (534-3). Their power play has been among the best in the country, too, clicking at nearly a 30 per cent clip during the season. By comparison, the Eagles’ power play during the BCHL season – which was among the league’s best – had an 18.4 per cent conversion rate. However, a day after defeating the Eagles, they were blown out 7-2 by the host Nanaimo Clippers, who had sat idle for a month after being eliminated in the first round of

BCHL playoffs. Despite starting 0-1, there were positives to take from Saturday’s game. For starters, the Eagles managed 42 shots on net, and will look to continue that offensive momentum into their second game, which was played against the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Steinbach Pistons Monday night after press deadline. “We’re very excited, we’re happy to be here,” said Eagles defenceman Craig Wyzsomirski. “When we set a list of goals (at the start of the season), the Fred Page Cup was one, and (Westerns) was two. We’re excited to be here, and extremely focused.”

Premier Baseball League team’s losing streak reaches six

Tritons drop four straight games at home Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The weather finally co-operated for the White Rock Tritons. The competition, however, did not. The Tritons – who had seen most of their early-season games rained out – dropped all four BC Premier Baseball League games they played at South Surrey Athletic Park this weekend, falling to 1-6 on the season. The team’s only win thus far came in the season opener.

In a doubleheader Saturday, which began 40 minutes late due to rain, the Tritons opened with a 10-3 loss to the visiting North Shore Twins, and followed up with a 13-4 loss in Game 2. The Twins, who sport a 4-3 record in the season’s first month, peppered White Rock pitchers with 15 hits in the first game and nine more in the nightcap. In the first game, they scored in all but the first inning, while the Tritons’ offence came in the first and sixth frames.

In the first, Daniel Cassino reached base on an error and later scored, and Joey Gladman singled and was driven home two batters later. In the sixth, Tom Melenchuk singled home John Mastern, and Cassino also crossed the plate on a fielder’s choice. In the second game, White Rock had 10 hits – all singles – and stringing together big innings was difficult against Twins’ pitchers, led by starter Clark Grisbook. On Sunday, White Rock lost a pair to the Victoria Mariners, 7-6 and 10-4.

In Game 1, second baseman Liam Rihela went 3-for-4 at the plate, and centre-fielder Kieran O’Connor had two RBI. Joey Gladman and Dylan Yeager had two hits apiece in the second game. Defence was a problem for the Tritons all weekend — as well as for their opponents. White Rock committed 11 errors in the fourgame homestand. White Rock’s next game is tonight (Tuesday), 7 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park, against the Abbotsford Cardinals.
