Teens swarmed and robbed by a larger group near Crescent Beach

Machete threat in bear-spray attack Nick Greenizan & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

Surrey RCMP are investigating after three teens were swarmed and robbed near Crescent Beach. Cpl. Bert Paquet confirmed Thursday that three male victims – two aged 17, one 18 – were attacked by “between four and 10 white males” on May 4 around 11:30 p.m., as they walked on Crescent Road, east of the train

tracks. One of the victims was sprayed with a pepper-based substance, and two of the three had backpacks and cellphones stolen. A machete was also produced by one of the assailants but not used, Paquet added. Police were called to the scene, as was a dog team, but Paquet said the large amount of pedestrian traffic made it difficult for the dog to pick up a scent. As of Monday, none of the property had

been recovered, nor any suspects – described as older youth and young adults – found. No similar incidents have been reported since. None of the victims were hospitalized after the incident, and all three were returned to their homes. It is unclear why the trio was targeted. “These three did nothing wrong – they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Paquet said, adding there is no indica-

tion the victims knew their attackers. Paquet described the incident as “not something we see often in that area,” and a good reminder to stay in well-lit public areas and travel in groups after dark. With summer just around the corner, Surrey RCMP has increased its presence at beaches, parks and other public areas, paying particular attention to known problem areas and hot spots identified through crime analysis.

Terminal-cancer diagnosis inspires young woman to set new goals

‘I don’t want to just be another statistic’ Sarah Massah

itting on her bed in her Ocean Park home, Beth Hutchinson rattles off a list of nine things most don’t know about her. For example, despite living in Canada for more than 10 years, the 20-year-old sometimes slips into an English accent. Her room includes movie photos and posters, and she has a huge aversion to dry hands – a family trait. This scene from Beth’s Brain – a month-old video that’s already received 1,600 hits on

YouTube – may seem like many other spiels videoed by young people, but for Hutchinson, this was the opportunity to give a glimpse of the person behind a disease that has been defining her to strangers for the last four years. At age 16, Hutchinson was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. In her young life, she has had four brain surgeries and currently has a fifth tumour growing close to her spine. Despite the diagnosis, she doesn’t want people to see her as a walking cancer patient. “Cancer has changed me, of course, but

it hasn’t affected my personality. It hasn’t changed my interests. I’m still that girl who loves Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings,” she said. “I think the misconception is that you suddenly become this total cancer patient, but many people have had no idea what I’ve been going through the last four years. “I just wanted to make sure that people got enough of me in that video and that people get to know my personality, as well as the story. I don’t want to just be another statistic.” › see page 4

Concerns over White Rock development application

Appeal for eagle habitat Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock woman concerned that hillside trees popular with local eagles are in danger is hoping to convince city officials and the owner of a redevelopment site to “think outside the box.” Sandy McNamee was to voice her concerns in a delegation to council this week, in the hopes of saving five mature Douglas firs – one that stands on the lot in question and four on city land abutting the property at 15265 Victoria Ave. – that would be irreparably damaged by excavation. “This is eagle habitat,” said McNamee. “They soar right here.” In a report to council Monday evening – received after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – Paul Stanton, the city’s director of planning and development services, notes the owner of the Victoria Avenue lot has submitted an arborist’s report that recommends removing all five trees. The applicant has the right to excavate to the property line, Stanton writes, and that work will cut into the city trees’ critical roots, rendering the firs a liability. “They have this right to ensure the tree roots do not

The property is not subject to the city’s tree-management bylaw, as it is located outside of designated treeprotection areas, Stanton writes. McNamee said she has been looking into the issue for two weeks, since learning the lot had been sold. The trees are among favourite perch sites for eagles that are also often seen in

trees on the Marine Drive hump, she said. McNamee said the trees in question fit all of the city’s own descriptions for significant trees. As well, several documents highlight the importance of tree preservation, she noted. While McNamee suggested a land swap as an option, Stanton’s report notes the applicant “very clearly expressed the fact that they were not interested in any land exchange.” Legal advice confirmed there is little the city can do, Stanton wrote.

Sentence upheld as court reduces restrictions for admitted child molester

Naming sex offender banned on appeal Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A four-year jail sentence handed to a man convicted of sexually abusing a Surrey boy over several years will stand. But the B.C. Court of Appeal reduced restrictions on the offender’s future contact with children under 16. As is usually the case, there is a publication ban on any information that could identify the victim. However, while the offender, identified as R.R.B., has been named many times in past media coverage, the May 9 appeal decision specifically states there is now also a ban on using his full name. While there is often a ban on the name of an offender if they are related to the victim,

Madam Justice Jo-Ann Prowse decided that ticularly harsh as it barred the offender from in this case, because the victim was a friend seeing his own children. of the family, it was best not to use anyone’s Prowse agreed, calling the two-decade profull name. hibition “excessive” in The admitted child ❝…there are, unfortunately, many the circumstances. molester was sentenced “…such a period of last August after plead- offenders far worse than R.R.B.❞ prohibition would usuMadam Justice Jo-Ann Prowse ing guilty to sexually ally be reserved for the assaulting a minor. worst-case offender, He appealed his sentence, which included and there are, unfortunately, many offenders a 20-year ban on being anywhere – parks, far worse than R.R.B.” schools, pools – children under age 16 may Further, she said, there was “no basis” for be present.

She lifted the ban on public places entirely During the appeal hearing last month, and reduced the prohibition on working R.R.B.’s lawyer argued the ban was par- with kids or using a computer to commu-

nicate with them to three years. The computer ban, however, does not apply to the offender’s own children. During trial, the court heard that R.R.B. began sexually assaulting the victim when he was about nine. The abuse ended when the boy was 14 and his mother discovered sexually explicit texts between the offender and her son on his cellphone. Medical experts deemed the offender was not a pedophile, instead attributing his behaviour to emotional immaturity, neediness and an extreme need to please others. He was considered a low risk to reoffend. Still, his four-year jail sentence was upheld. Madam Justices Kathryn Neilson and Daphne Smith agreed with Prowse’s reasons.

Two men swept away in Golden Ears Provincial Park

Search delayed for Surrey swimmer Monisha Martins Black Press

Two young men – one from Surrey and one from Delta – were swept away while swimming in Golden Ears Provincial Park Friday. While the body of one, a 19-year-old from Delta, was recovered that afternoon, efforts to locate the 21-year-old Surrey man – who has been named in several online tributes – were suspended Monday until conditions improve. The pair were swimming in Gold Creek when they were swept away by a strong current around 2:30 p.m. May 10. “They were with a group of friends and the friends actually saw them go down,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville with Ridge Meadows RCMP. The Delta man, whose name had also not been officially released as of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Monday, was spotted downstream by an RCMP helicopter. Swift-water rescuers from the Maple Ridge Fire Department and Ridge Meadows Search

and Rescue reached his body around 4:20 p.m., two kilometres from the falls. Crews called off the search for the Surrey man on Saturday, due to dangerous water conditions. Teams of volunteers from Maple Ridge, Mission and Coquitlam spent Saturday searching along the banks of Gold Creek. Friends of the missing swimmer also joined in but stayed on the trails, away from the water. “After completing the search of the creek and finding nothing, we feel fairly certain that he is probably still trapped at the base of the falls,” said Rick Laing, with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue. “It’s just too dangerous to put anybody in the water.” The location where the men disappeared is a treacherous one, especially during times of high water. Warm temperatures have melted snow from the peaks above, making streams run fast. Laing cautions swimmers to be extra careful

in local rivers and streams because of the early spring melt. “The top of the falls is not the place to go swimming,” said Laing, noting there is a fence and signs warning people not to enter the water. “It is way too dangerous. When we were up there Saturday, there were people swimming up at the top of the falls where these two guys had fallen in. People just don’t seem to heed the signs.” Rescue crews have been to the location before, Laing added. “We’ve done several body recoveries out of there.” Police tried to put an underwater camera into the creek to find the man but were unable to because of the swift currents. Rescuers don’t known when the search will resume. “Parks is going to keep an eye on the level of the water and they will advise the RCMP when the water level goes down,” Laing said.

U.S. lawmakers have scrapped a proposal to slap a new fee on Canadians crossing the border. The Department of Homeland Security had wanted the toll applied at land crossings into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, but the U.S. Senate judiciary committee voted Thursday to block the idea, at least for this year. Business leaders on both sides of the border opposed the idea, warning it could create much longer border wait times and hamper trade and commerce. The fee on all vehicles and pedestrians was proposed for further study as a way to generate new revenue for Homeland Security, which has been forced by U.S. budget cuts to reduce customs staffing. Bellingham Chamber of Commerce president Ken Oplinger had predicted the new border-crossing fee would never be implemented, noting similar schemes have been proposed and rejected before. “We were pretty sure this was what the outcome was going to be,” he said, noting there was broad political opposition in the U.S. Oplinger noted the Senate vote merely blocks funding to study the idea for the next fiscal year. “We’ll see what happens in future years,” he said. “It’s something to keep an eye on, but we don’t need to worry about it for right now.” The fee amount was never specified, but Canadians who go to the U.S. by air or sea already pay $5.50, usually built into ticket prices. The Surrey Board of Trade welcomed the decision, saying fees would have damaged the economy. While the focus today is on Canadians heading south, Oplinger noted Canada could also lose out if the loonie falls. “In 10 years who knows, the Canadian economy could be just as reliant on Americans coming north and not getting them because of the fee as well.”

Family, friends rally around Beth › from page 1 Getting to this point has been a difficult journey for the Elgin Park Secondary grad. While her father, David, has been a vocal advocate for her treatment, speaking to the media and rallying support within the community, it took Hutchinson herself much more time to feel comfortable sharing her story in her own words. In April, her family and friends began a fundraising campaign for an alternative treatment, which she had previously been unable to afford. Following the first stages of the fundraising campaign – a pub night held April 6 and an account set up in Hutchinson’s name at Coast Capital Savings in Ocean Park – Hutchinson realized she had to come out and tell her story herself, rather than keeping it under wraps as she had been doing before. “When I put it on my personal Facebook page with the links (to the fundraising page), it was the first big step. Kind of like coming out of the closet with cancer. I didn’t know how people would take it – my friends or people I had hidden it from in high school. But they were so incredibly supportive and they shared my video and many have contacted me to reach out,” she said. “I feel foolish for not doing it sooner and for not talking about it. The fundraiser opened the door for me. “I was there and saw everyone doing these things for me and I thought, why not?” Through the fundraising, and the creation of the Beth’s Brain page on Facebook, which she tries to update daily, Hutchinson today (Tuesday) goes for her first session of loco-regional hyperthermia treatment. The

SURREY CONNECT SECONDARY SCHOOL alternative treatment would have cost $50,000 for a year’s worth of sessions, making it nearly impossible to pay for. However, family and friends rallied around the family, refusing to let Hutchinson give up on living. “I’m incredibly excited. We’ve had people donating, just handing over money. I’ve never had that before. But it’s not just the money, it’s the fact that I don’t know these people but they are giving me their support and their time,” she said. “Just to know there are people out there who are rooting for me who I have never met – that’s something I find the most touching.” Encouraged by the support she has received, Hutchinson plans to continue updating the Beth’s Brain page with her day-to-day activities and the special ones, like crossing skydiving off of her list of things to accomplish. “It was one of the things I had on my bucket list. It was an amazing experience. It was lovely. I can’t wait to go up again,” she’s said. “I was able to share it with my support team, my good friends, and it was an

Police are trying to piece together the events that led up to a dramatic five-car crash on the weekend. On Saturday at about 2 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a collision at 140 Street and 78A Avenue. It took investigators some time to figure out how many vehicles were involved because many of them were in pieces. Four people were taken to hospital, one of them with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police are investigating whether alcohol was a factor in the crash. The intersection was shut down for several hours while investigators combed the scene for evidence.

unforgettable experience. “Having cancer becomes a part of you, but not in a way that overtakes your personality or diminishes any part of you. I think it has actually helped make me strong, because I have to fight and I’ve had to not have my shell.” Coming out with her story has also lead to new friendships, she noted, with many people in her past reaching out to share their own experiences with cancer or other illnesses. “Making these new friendships, that’s one of the best things I’ve received from this,” she said. “I wanted to make sure if I came out and talked about it, it was how I wanted it to be. I’m hoping to raise awareness on alternative treatments and make more videos. I want to talk about this experience with death and everything I’ve gone through so far.” Hutchinson’s former employer at Spicer Bistro on Marine Drive will host a curry night benefitting the cause on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. For tickets, call Eileen Spencer at 604-542-2299.

Surrey man awarded for actions in hit-and-run incident

Taxi driver among honourees Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A taxi driver who led police to a suspect in the May 2011 hit-andrun death of White Rock pedestrian Marilyn Laursen and police officers who disarmed a man at a Surrey laundromat were among those recognized by the Surrey RCMP last week. The Mounties held the RCMP Officer in Charge Awards Wednesday at the Surrey Arts Centre for those who went beyond the call in their duties – both as police officers and civilians. Umad Cheema was driving his cab in South Surrey around 9:30 p.m. on May 18, 2011, when he heard of a hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian. Two hours later, Cheema was called to pick up a couple at a local store. It became apparent from their conversation that Cheema’s passengers were involved in the incident. He dropped them off at their destination, called 911, and stayed to ensure the suspects didn’t leave. Based on his actions, arrests were made two months later, and Kyle Brandon Danyliuk soon after pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death; the woman was charged for obstruction of a police investigation. “Mr. Cheema acted above and beyond his civic duty, providing outstanding service to the community which resulted in convictions and a degree of closure for the victim’s family,” Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said at the ceremony. “His actions bring credit to him and are in keeping with the highest standards of a Canadian citizen.” Others cited at the May 8 event included Consts. Brian Pierschke and Octavio Rego, who disarmed a knife-wielding man in a laundromat on June 10, 2012. Pierschke arrived to find the suspect threatening and lunging at patrons with a knife. The officer managed to place himself between the suspect and patrons allowing them to leave to safety. Rego deployed his Taser after the man dropped to his knees but refused to give up the knife. More than 70 awards were presented to officers, support staff and civilians for their efforts. “Every year this ceremony recognizes men and women from our community who went above and beyond the call of duty,” Fordy said in a news release. “This event also provides us with an opportunity to highlight the dedication and sometimes heroism displayed by both police officers and residents from the City of Surrey.” Others recognized for excel-

Be informed, then vote

he 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, it’s the same for every election – to little avail. In the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of eligible voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. And many who do vote do so strategically to keep one person or party out, rather than trying to vote someone in whom they believe in. Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. When there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for health care or education or transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups – business, unions, lobbyists – to influence the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised. Those who abstain from casting a ballot are also taking a big risk that those who do vote agree with their points of view. “To all the potential voters who plan not to vote: I want to thank you for your blind faith in me that I will make the right choice for you,” wrote Jerry Steinberg in a letter to the editor earlier this month. “Your confidence in my intelligence, research, priorities and wisdom is gratifying.” Over the past several weeks, Peace Arch News has covered this community’s ridings – Surrey-White Rock, Surrey-Cloverdale and Surrey-Panorama – with information on our local candidates and their political parties. You can learn their positions on issues – both local and provincial – examine their profiles, and read – in their own words – what they think is important, and what they intend to do about it if elected. It’s important information to have before heading to the polls today. Of course, more critical than who you vote for – and for whatever reasons you choose – is that you actually cast a ballot.

in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls today, on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots.

Subsidizing ride not fair Editor: Re: No Substitute for HandyDart, April 23 letters. So, the letter writer is upset that HandyDart uses taxis at times to transport their clients. Such taxi rides, she says, could amount to $70 to transport her mother-in-law from Aldergrove to Surrey, a ride for which HandyDart charges $2.50. Just as big a question is why is HandyDart transporting people that distance for only $2.50, heavily subsidized by the taxpayer? It’s one thing to transport people via HandyDart around a local town for $2.50, but a ride from Aldergrove to Surrey for the same amount? Is this fair to taxpayers? Don Campbell, Surrey

Dedicated to community Editor: The Ocean Park Seniors Drop In Program Society that meets at the library is on the brink of dissolving. It would be a shame to shut off a Thursday of connection and fun. I personally waited the two years it took to officially turn 55 to join. We’ve watched many old friends pass, but we supported each other through the loss of each member. So, where are the replacements, those of you sitting at home not joining us? We are holding the torch; it is you who need to rally as too much is falling on the few who remain dedicated to our community. Please make time in your afternoon to bring us stories and experiences at Ocean Park Library. We will welcome you. Maureen A. MacDonald, Surrey

Not so reassuring when we note that the crops on most of these farms are sprayed with pesticides. This would render them subject to a time frame of years for remediation should we have need for diverse crops to feed British Columbians. Not so reassuring the knowledge that mono crops deplete the soil and present further barriers to growing nutritious healthy produce. I ask all of you who are in a position to influence the course of food sustainability in B.C. to look forward and put into place initiatives to address the future of food for all of us. A food crisis can be prevented. Dorothy Randall, Surrey

Construction viewpoints Editor: Re: Neighbours impacted, April 16; Politicians need to plan; May 7; A poor way to plan our future, May 9. It appears that several letter writers opposed to the Cressey development proposal for Vidal Street are either unaware of the facts or simply care to ignore them. First, the trees on the property have been identified as high risk and the strata has been actively eliminating the highest risk trees adjacent to their townhouses. In the wind storm of 2007-’08, three trees narrowly missed going through the townhouse roofs. These trees are large and quite dangerous during strong winds. The 15-foot branches that break off during storms have the potential to seriously

injure or kill. Whether the property is zoned for greater density or not, many more of the trees will have to come down due to safety reasons. There would be less green space and more trees removed under the current official community plan guideline for the Vidal property if 30 townhouses were allowed. Up to 90 per cent of the trees on the Vidal property would have to come down if the property was redeveloped for townhouses and even more if zoned for a low-rise apartment. The proposed Cressey building would only take up 22 per cent of the property. All perimeter trees will be protected, much the same as the Everall Evergreen apartments west of Vidal have been protected. And, approximately 30 per cent of the land on the Vidal property is to be designated as public park. By building vertical, the property will retain even more green space than it has now. Council in March 2011 endorsed the Metro Vancouver 2041 Growth Strategy which would see 8,000 more people moving to White Rock. This is a small portion of the one million more people that are forecast to live in the Metro Vancouver region by 2041. Even if 30-storey buildings were built in the available Town Centre land, it still would not house the number of people White Rock council committed to accommodate. Like the 12-storey Belair apartment at Oxford and North Bluff, located two blocks further from the Town Centre than the Vidal property, the Cressey building will be of high quality and visually appealing. Phil Le Good, White Rock n

Re: Project foes, supporters out in force, May 2. I attended the public hearing regarding the proposed 12-storey concrete highrise on Vidal Street and heard people give their opinions for and against this development. I am not against this property being developed, but it’s the wrong type of development for Vidal, which is a narrow street with parking only on one side. My main concern is the impact of the construction of a building this size on the residents of Vidal and nearby streets. A typical construction site needs trailers for the general contractor and subcontractors, parking for all the construction workers, scissor lifts, cranes and earth-moving machinery. There will be a constant flow of construction traffic for months. The Mariners Reach site is completely surrounded by other buildings. The noise and disruption will be horrendous, the parking and traffic problems significant. Currently, one of the condo buildings on Vidal is getting a retaining wall built and even this type of minor construction has an impact. It’s difficult to get past the contractors’ trucks because of the narrowness of the road, and if another vehicle comes from the opposite direction, both cars cannot pass, how much worse would it be with a highrise being built? In addition to the five townhouses recently built, eight more are on their way and we still have to contend with that construction. If council allows this highrise development to proceed, life on Vidal Street will be a nightmare. L. James, White Rock

Thought for food supplies Editor: During the election campaign in British Columbia, food sustainability has not caught the interest of the candidates. Yet, this may be the most important issue of all. North America is faced with increasing weather variations with resultant droughts, fires and floods. The huge amount of produce that is imported from California and Florida may become scarce, very expensive or even unavailable. So we in Surrey are comforted that one-third of our Surrey land base is designated as farmland. Not so reassuring if we continue to lose pieces here and there to accommodate outdated forms of transportation infrastructure. Not so reassuring when we take into account that much, if not most, of this land being farmed is for commercial export – i.e. blueberries and cranberries.

A letter writer questions the value of a pedestrian overpass joining Rosemary Heights and Winter Crescent.

Should have been passed over Editor: My brother and me were discussing how after many months of admiring the new lighted walkway across Highway 99, we seem to have missed one fact – both of us have never seen a single person on the walkway. Both of us drive under the Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass at least twice a day… not one person.

Is this just another bureaucratic bungle or use of taxpayers’ funds? I understand $3.2 million was spent on this. Man, what a nice walkway from Crescent Beach to White Rock beach to be used by thousands could have possibly been built with these funds. Grant Christianson, Surrey

Coal train meeting A community meeting on the topic of increasing coal exports is set for 7 p.m. Thursday in Crescent Beach. The meeting is spurred by concerns around Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposal to build a new coal terminal, which opponents say will increase local coal-train traffic and have health and environmental impacts. Hosted by the Wilderness Committee, Thursday’s meeting is to include a short presentation on the issue followed by a question-and-answer period. Light musical entertainment based on the coal theme is also planned. A screening of the climate-change documentary, 350.org, is to follow. All are invited to attend. It will be held in the dining room at Beecher Place Community Centre, 12160 Beecher Pl. For more, visit wildernesscommittee.org

tion, said light rail is important in shaping communities south of the Fraser. “We want to make sure that, as Surrey grows, we create communities that are inter-connected and family-friendly,” Hart said. Huberman said it’s no mistake this issue is coming up a week before the provincial election. In fact, it was announced the same day as an all-candidates’ meeting hosted by the SBOT.

Business and community groups are lining up behind Surrey’s mayor in a call for light-rapid transit along some of the city’s major corridors. Mayor Dianne Watts has long called for light-rapid transit – which she argues would be more affordable than SkyTrain – along King George Boulevard to Newton, Fraser Highway to Langley, and 104 Avenue to Guildford. Last Tuesday, the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT), the Fraser Valley Real Estate Association (FVREA), the Downtown Surrey BIA and community groups joined the chorus calling for light rail. The businesses and residents are members of Light Rail Links, which recently formed as a result of the growing movement of individuals and groups advocating for Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Surrey. Light Rail Links is made up of community supporters that represent a variety of interests, including business, community and neighbourhood groups and the tourism sector. Scott Olson, past president of the FVREA, said the lobbying will be intense. “We will be talking to everyone – our local communities, TransLink and the B.C. and federal governments – about the immediate need for light rail south of the Fraser to ensure livable, connected, sustainable neighbourhoods are developed,” Olson said. “Light Rail Links believes light rail is the most cost-effective and high-quality form of rapid transit

Visitors to White Rock Beach soak up some sun Friday afternoon. Earlier this month, the mercury rose to 27.9 degrees on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, breaking a 60-year-old record.

Warm weather roasts record The recent stretch of warm weather that Peninsula residents enjoyed last week was recordsetting – on one day, at least. On Sunday, May 5, the temperature at Environment Canada’s White Rock weather station hit 27.9 degrees Celsius, which was the hottest May 5 on record in 60 years; on May 5, 1953, the mercury rose to 26.7 degrees,

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the crash occurred in the 2200-block of 148 Street just before 8 p.m., when a 2002 PT Cruiser leaving Rotary Way struck a 2002 Ford Escape that was northbound on 148 Street. The Ford then collided head-on with a southbound 2008 BMW. All three vehicles had to be towed from the scene. Only one person, the 38-year-old driver of the PT Cruiser, did not go to hospital. The Richmond resident was charged with fail to yield to a vehicle in connection with the collision.

South Surrey resident Ashleigh Singleton, recently featured in a Black Press story about mental illness, speaks to students at North Delta Secondary School about her battle with schizophrenia.

Ashleigh Singleton visits school to talk mental illness

Schizophrenia sufferer to teens: speak up Kevin Diakiw

W Black Press

atching Ashleigh Singleton tell a packed class of high school students about the voices in her head, it’s easy to forget she kept those hallucinations a secret for two years. All the while she quietly suffered with the whispers urging her to kill herself. But last month, the 27-year-old South Surrey resident told Black Press about her schizophrenia, her fears, the bullying and discrimination she faced, and also her selfmutilation and suicide attempts. Her story was part of Hard to Help, a special series on mental illness and its devastating effects. At the time, Singleton said she felt she had to speak up so others wouldn’t have to suffer. Last Tuesday, she stood before a class of about 20 psychology students at North

Delta Secondary School and spoke again Singleton had been invited to the high about her tumultuous childhood dealing school for its first-ever Mental Health with the disease that affects one per cent of Awareness Day.

Heavenleigh says mental student “The reason I’m before all of illness is a challenging threat. you today is to let you know, “When someone comes at you you’re not alone,” she said. “No matter with a knife, you can run,” she said. “When what you’re going through, if you’re feeling your mind attacks you, there’s nowhere to some of those symptoms of depression or go.” even schizophrenia – speak up… It’s the Joshi also addressed the psychology class. only way we’re going to erase the stigma of Mental illness, she said, isn’t reserved for a mental illness.” select few.

“It can happen to absolutely anyone,” Joshi said. “It’s time for us to talk about it.” She pointed out her anxiety disorder does not have obvious physical manifestations, causing many to say she wasn’t sick. At first, she had no supports in place at all. “I was in a terrible state. I wouldn’t talk to anyone at school ever,” Joshi said. “I would stay in my room all day and not want to talk to anyone.” She urged the class not to ignore the signs of possible mental illness, and as soon as possible, speak to someone you can trust. “As youth, there’s so much we can do, and such a difference we can make,” she said. “We really, really need to talk about this and get people educated about this.” The group is hoping they can follow up with an annual Mental Health Awareness Day at the school.

Truck museum opens Cloverdale’s newest heritage attraction is set to open its doors to the public for the first time during Rodeo weekend. This weekend, the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum is celebrating more than a year after the collection returned to Cloverdale. The volunteer-run venture has been a labour of love for members of the Surrey Heritage Society, says president Paul Orazietti. The society acquired the collection of vintage trucks and related memorabilia from the Teamsters Freight Transportation Museum and Archives Society. The collection consists of 18 medium-sized freight vehicles. Fourteen are completely restored. They range from a 1912 Shell tanker and a 1931 Maple Leaf flatbed to a 1977 BC Tel service truck. Many are from the Bob King collection, a colourful trucking company owner whose wife eventually donated them to B.C. premier W.A.C. Bennett. Many were at the B.C. Transportation Museum in Cloverdale, which closed down in the early 1990s. After the rodeo, the society hopes to open the museum on weekends, and offer tours by appointment.

VACUUMS

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.

With only a few weeks remaining, the students are working hard to reach their $50,000 goal, Janzen said. And while the number is a significant one, she said she has no doubt the students will get there. “On our wall, we have a sign that asks, ‘What’s the ER done for you?’ When you start to ask that question, you start to hear those stories,” she said. “We’ve all used the ER.

Preserving Sunnyside Acres takes community effort

RINGING or

‘In perpetuity’ but still at risk

ext month, Sunnyside Acres Heritage Society (SAHS) and Surrey Parks will together celebrate the upcoming 25th anniversary of dedication of Sunnyside Acres as an urban forest Roy Strang ‘in perpetuity.’ The trees, of course, are much older, approaching 100 years, but it was only in 1988 that the City of Surrey formally dedicated the 130-hectare woodland. That dedication came about in response to strong public pressure, with what was then the ‘Save our Sunnyside’ (SOS) group – of which I was a founding member – assembling a membership of more than 2,000. SOS presented the case for preservation of this, the last remaining sizable stand of Douglas-fir and alder in southwestern B.C., the coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) biogeoclimatic region. The forest is frequented by more than seventy bird species, along with deer, coyotes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks and several smaller animal and amphibian species. With dedication enacted and the forest saved, SOS was dissolved and replaced by the society that works closely with Surrey’s parks department as stewards of the forest. Newcomers to the area and visitors enjoying the forest often comment that “we’re lucky to have it.” In fact, much more than luck, it was hard work and sound, persuasive argument by the SOS group, which ensured the survival of the Forest. Now, SAHS and Surrey parks staff implement the fundamental and basic management principle of letting natural progression develop unimpeded, with only a minimum of interference to ensure public safety. Even when a diseased or moribund tree adjacent to an authorized trail is felled, it is left on the ground to decay and be recycled into the soil. Despite dedication, the forest remains threatened, not so much from extensive clearing but from unthinking disturbances along the edges and the carelessness or selfishness of visitors, especially during each fire season. We have also had to deal with work crews overstepping boundaries,

unauthorized bicycle-jump circuits, casual camps, dumping of garbage and garden wastes. Last year, someone illegally released alien gray squirrels into the forest, where they – being larger and more aggressive – will dominate and likely drive out resident native Townsend squirrels. The society’s quiet effectiveness as forest watchdog seems to have induced some complacency in the community. As a result membership has fallen to a worrisomely low

number, and so the burden of surveillance falls on the executive. That they are re-elected year after year suggests that the community is satisfied with their stewardship, but it could also indicate a readiness to enjoy the forest without contributing to its well-being. Most visitors to the forest – and happily there are many – are not SAHS members yet. When asked the question if they would care if the forest was cleared, they invariably answer a strong ‘yes.’ Another concern for the society is the lack of involvement by local schools. Here is an accessible native environment that can serve as an outdoor laboratory for students at all levels to experience natural processes in action and learn that ‘environment’ is vibrant and real, not just an abstract idea. However, despite such disappointments, and as long as ‘in perpetuity’ means what it says, the trees, other plants and the birds and animals will continue to provide many benefits to the community thanks to the efforts of SOS 25 years ago and continuing public support today. Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

COASTAL LIVING…Beautifying Your Home & Garden

Create outdoor dining space for summer full of fun We’ve spent much of the past several months indoors, trapped in our homes trying to stay warm and dry throughout the soggy winter months. So it’s no wonder now that the sun is out, people want to spend every waking moment outside. And when it comes time to dine, there’s no reason for the party to move inside. If you’re lucky enough to have the space on your property for it, an outdoor dining area makes a great addition to a yard this time of year. But there are several things that should be taken into consideration if you plan on transforming your outdoor space. The first thing you’ll want to think about is function – is this an area to be used primarily by you and your family? Or do you plan to hold grandiose outdoor social functions, hosting dozens of guests? If it’s the former, then practicality is key. Keeping things fairly simple is advisable – some nice furniture, an

Whether large or small, an outdoor eating area will get plenty of use this time of year. umbrella to provide shade for little ones and an outdoor grill. You may also want to consider positioning the dining area near the kitchen door, so you don’t have too far to hike when bringing food and dishes in and out. If you’re aiming for a larger-scale, more social area for bigger gatherings, it would be wise to consider building

an actual kitchen outside. This could include a mini-fridge, sink and stovetop, in addition to a must-have barbecue grill. Having everything you need at hand will help you avoid having to run backand-forth when hosting a gathering. You’ll also want to be sure you have adequate space for guests to move around, including clear and easily navigated pathways to and from the cooking area. Opting for hanging decor – patio lanterns, candles etc. – as opposed to items that take up floor space is one way to maximize the room you have to work with. Creating the right ambience is also important, as it sets the tone and evokes the space’s personality. To keep it versatile, stick to neutral colour for the large elements, such as the furniture, and add a dash of pizzazz with accents such as cushions and decor. Lighting is also essential for evening

dining, and should be planned according to ambience and functionality. Areas where people will need to see what they’re doing when it’s dark – such as the grill or the dining table – will need a little more light than other areas of the yard. A bar-height prep table, topped with a butcher block, is a good idea for near the grill, as it can double as a place for guests to pull up a stool for a pre-dinner drink. When it comes to other furnishings, have a look at local thrift stores for some old tables and chairs that can be refurbished and repurposed for outdoor use. Mildew-resistant cushions that are easy to wipe clean will add a little extra style to your outdoor dining space. And you can easily build your own canopy by draping fabric between four poles sunk into the ground – use tent pins to anchor the lines that run from the pole tops to the lawn, and add a little extra charm by hanging a patio lantern on each pole.

New window coverings can freshen up any room

Whether you’re putting the finishing touches on a brand new home, or renovating an older one, choosing the right window coverings can make a big impact. From adding a dash of style and elegance, to creating the perfect ambience, blinds and drapes are an essential part of any room. But there is much more to the selection process than simple aesthetics, according to Dwight Young of A Fresh Outlook. When it comes to choosing window coverings, Young said child safety is a numberone priority for the majority of homeowners. As a Hunter Douglas distributor, Young offers many choices that are free of exposed cords, taking child safety into mind. Other important factors that homeowners need to consider, according to Young, are privacy and sun protection. “It’s not about the cost, it’s about putting the right product in that will maximize all of its benefits,” he pointed out.

• Design • Construction • Project Management

There is plenty to consider when it comes to choosing the right blinds or drapes for your home. Current trends on the market include an emphasis on texture and layered patterns – designed to evoke relaxation – and a nostalgic return to midcentury decor, particularly popular amongst the baby boomer generation. According to Angela of Concord Interiors, in addition to cordless options designed for maximum safety, many homeowners are leaning towards solar screen window coverings. While these don’t offer the privacy that blinds do, they will filter out up to 99 per cent of UV rays,

which can be damaging not only to your skin, but to furniture, flooring and walls. When it comes to overall design elements, Angela advises that customers consider their personal likes and dislikes, as well as the amount of time they plan to stay in that home. “Try to stay fairly neutral,” she advised, noting that window coverings don’t actually add to a home’s resale value and can sometimes be pricey to replace. “You can always dress them up with trendy coloured side panels and hardware.”

COASTAL LIVING…Beautifying Your Home & Garden

Reap the benefits of a professional consultation Whether it’s a big job or a small one, renovating or redesigning your home and garden can invoke a huge range of emotions. From excitement and creativity to stress and disappointment – there’s no question that projects around the home can come with plenty of good and bad aspects. While it may be tempting to dive in head first and embark on a renovation journey all on your own, it’s not always the wisest move. There are many aspects of an interior redesign or yard landscaping job that can benefit from the help of a trained expert. From the initial planning to plotting out a budget, as well as installation of things like flooring, plumbing or appliances. According to Angela Snyder of Hygrove Design Co., the biggest reason why people should consult with a professional on any home-improvement job is to avoid mistakes and save money. “We have seen plenty of instances where the homeowner has tried to do the job themselves, and they’re not happy with the results,” Snyder said. “Sometimes, it can involve having to completely redo things. Those can be expensive mistakes.” If it’s not in your budget to work with a professional designer or landscaper for the entire project, Snyder suggests that even a one-hour consultation can provide a wealth of knowledge, advice and direction. “For an hour of a designer’s time, they

can give you a really good idea about what you should focus on and in what order,” she said. Because designers are trained to visualize a project from beginning to end, Snyder said they can really help steer a homeowner in the right direction. “There has to be a plan in mind when you start a new project, you have to be able to see the big picture,” she said. “That’s something that a layperson can’t often do.” Things like lighting, colour, scale and proportion are all facets of design and layout that a professional can use to maximize the benefits of a living space, both indoors and out. And most importantly, having an expert helping hand can help prevent costly mistakes that can quickly turn into a renovation nightmare.

Many homeowners are constantly on the lookout for ways to make their homes more environmentally friendly. Such a pursuit is both noble, because it helps the environment, and practical because it often saves money. While there are many eco-friendly improvements homeowners make inside their homes, it’s important to note that there are several ways for homeowners to be more environmentally conscious outside as well. Lawn care can be done in a way that’s conscious of the environment, and the results can be just as appealing as if the lawn was tended to without regard for the planet. The following are just a few of the many ways homeowners can adopt more eco-friendly practices when tending to their lawns. • Be conscientious when watering. Overwatering a lawn is pretty common, especially during the dog days of summer, when homeowners try to overcompensate for hot days with excessive watering. The growth of moss on sidewalks or the driveway is a telltale sign that you’re watering too much, as is a standing pool of water on the grass. • Turn back the clock on your tools. Before gas mowers became the standard, man-powered push mowers were used to cut the grass. Such mowers still exist, and they require no fuel, making them a more eco-friendly option than their gaspowered counterparts. Along those same lines, leaf blowers are a far less friendly way to rake leaves in the fall or clean the yard after a long winter. While there’s no denying their

effectiveness, leaf blowers need gas to operate, while a rake just requires some elbow grease and a little time in the yard. • Stay local. If you need to plant new grass or you’re beginning a garden, then stick with local plants, flowers and grasses rather than more exotic options that are not native to your area. Plants, flowers and grasses that aren’t native to your region will require more maintenance and often more watering. That added maintenance might prove to be a headache, and that excessive watering will not be beneficial to the environment. • Don’t let rain water go to waste. Rain barrels are a great way to make good use of rain. Rain barrels can be placed beneath a gutter’s downspout, where they will collect water that can be reused throughout your property to water the lawn and garden. Rain barrels can be relatively expensive, but over time they will pay for themselves as you save money on your water bill.

Surrey cat rescuers forced to find a new home The Surrey branch of the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA), a volunteer-run organization dedicated to the rescue of homeless cats in Surrey and surrounding municipalities, will be left without its operating facilities after the City of Surrey Animal Resource Centre’s upcoming move to a Cloverdale location. VOKRA currently runs its Trap-NeuterReturn (TNR) program from a building at the Animal Resource Centre’s 6706 152 St. site. The group is seeking the help of the local community in finding a suitable new space in central Surrey to continue its operations. The goal of the Surrey branch of VOKRA is to help curb the numbers of homeless cats found on Surrey streets. Since it began operations in this area in early 2011, more than 900 cats have been

spayed and neutered by VOKRA. “We are absolutely devastated to be losing our Trap-Neuter-Return centre,” said volunteer Christine Johnson. “We are very

thankful that the city has allowed us to operate from its Animal Resource Centre on 152 Street for the past year. Since we started our work in Surrey, our volunteers have been able to help over 900 abandoned cats. The loss of the TNR centre will mean an immediate halt to our work.” It is estimated that there are more than 12,000 free roaming cats in Surrey. At VOKRA’s centre, cats that are humanely trapped from the streets are first brought for assessment and care. Cats are then taken to a vet to be spayed or neutered, tattooed, vaccinated, and treated for any other medical issues. After a short stay in the TNR centre to recover from their surgeries, cats are returned to site if it is safe to do so, relocated to a barn if it is not, or placed in a foster home if the cats are tame and adoptable.

TNR stabilizes the feral cat population by preventing further reproduction, while also improving and protecting the lives of the existing feral cats and pet cats that are allowed to be outdoors. The group is seeking a building with at least 20x15-foot space in central Surrey that offers access to electricity, running water, and 24/7 availability. Ideally, a washroom facility would also be available. Alternatively, if a parcel of land can be made available, VOKRA will fundraise to place a suitable building on-site.

Prescription for Health-Warning: side effects include feeling better! Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep. Most would agree this is a sensible and basic prescription for good health. But like so many things-easier said than done! We recently attended a conference sponsored by the Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America where the focus was on how important lifestyle is to our health and happiness. Unshockingly, current medical research clearly shows that eating too much of the wrong food and moving too little is behind skyrocketing rates of obesity and diabetes in the U.S., and, Canada is on a similar path. The antidote? Get people to find the fun in eating healthy and getting active. That’s where Leaps & Bounds Personal Training and Clinical Exercise can help! Shirley Garrett has been a personal trainer for almost 20 years and has seen a lot of fads come and go. She knows that helping people get more active and fit requires passion, commitment, experience and a strong sense of fun! The training studio needs to inspire confidence and a sense of challenge as well as a feeling of safety. Shirley is especially proud of her trainers and the dedication, commitment and expertise they bring to their work. The objective at Leaps & Bounds is to help people achieve their best and to do it in a way that inspires them, instills confidence and lets them have some fun along the way.

Getting fit is not a one-day event; it’s a lifestyle to last a lifetime! Leaps & Bounds offers a wide spectrum of training experience and fitness programs that can appeal to everyone. Personal Training offers the most private and exclusive experience while small group training provides an effective workout in a more social atmosphere. There is circuit training, spin/cycle fit classes, yoga, pilates, boxing conditioning. Whether you are new to exercise or are looking for a new challenge or perhaps getting active because of an injury or illness we can create a program for you. Because fitness is truly a mind-body experience we can also provide access to a psychologist and a dietitian to assist you with your journey to health. The good news is that the research is in: whether you are 20 or 80 getting active, eating right and sleeping well can help you get healthier and happier. We look forward to seeing you at Leaps & Bounds! Call us for an initial half hour session – it’s on us!

Ready for a new Fitness experience? One of our 6 certified and experienced trainers will develop a program designed for your needs, goals and fitness level.

Advanced Care Planning Planning for the possibility of incapacity is something that is often overlooked. Many people are unaware who would have the legal authority to make decisions regarding their health and personal care if they were to become unable to make such decisions for themselves. Under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, a temporary substitute decision maker (TDSM) would be required if you haven’t appointed a representative for your health and personal care matters. The order of who would be authorized to make these decisions is provided in section 16.1 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act, as follows: 1) Your spouse (married, common-law, same sex) 2) A son or daughter (must be 19 or older) 3) A parent (adoptive included) 4) A brother or sister 5) A grandparent 6) A grandchild 7) Anyone else related to you by birth or adoption 8) A close friend 9) A person immediately related to you by marriage (inlaws, step-parent, step-child, etc). Many individuals may wish to change the order of who is given the legal authority to make their health and personal care decisions. A Representation Agreement is a legal document which does precisely this – it provides who will have the legal authority to make health and personal care decisions for you. It also allows an individual to state their decisions regarding which health care treatments, life support, and life prolonging medical interventions they consent to and which they refuse. You have the ability, by law, to legally and directly empower someone to make health and personal care decisions for you if you are unable to make or communicate those decisions for yourself.

Demico Hannoun, Michael Stenerson combine for nine points in win

Eagles blow out Truro in RBC opener Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Demico Hannoun Surrey Eagles

Demico Hannoun picked a fine time for his first playoff hat trick. The 17-year-old forward scored three times – including twice on the power play – and added an assist, and linemate Michael Stenerson scored once and added four helpers, as the Surrey Eagles clobbered the Truro Bearcats 7-0 in their first game of the RBC Cup Sunday afternoon in Summerside, P.E.I.

“He’s a shooter, he’s a skilled player. He found a nice spot there on the power play and had a two good onetimers,” said Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart, when asked about Hannoun’s performance. The key early in the game was the success of the Surrey power play. The Bearcats took three penalties in the first 15 minutes, and the BC Hockey League champions made them pay each time, jumping out to a 3-0 lead.

The three-goal barrage chased Truro’s starting netminder Shayne Campbell to the bench, in favour of backup Jacob Fancy. “We had a good start, got on the power play early, and got a couple key goals,” said Stenerson, who recently signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Vermont. “I got lucky with a couple of those assists, but I’ll take it.” As one might expect in a seven-goal

Ninth-place in Japan

Mariners make history Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

he Earl Marriott Mariners senior boys rugby team made history last week in Japan, placing ninth at the 2013 Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational – the best a Canadian side has ever finished. The Mariners earned the ninthplace spot by beating Japan’s Nagasaki Nanzan High School 31-29 on May 5, the final day of the tournament. “It’s amazing. The guys played out of their minds,” said Earl Marriott coach ❝It’s amazing. Adam Roberts. “We had a The guys played out of wicked time.” Prior to this their minds.❞ year, the top Adam Roberts Canadian finish in the coach prestigious 16-team event was an honour owned by Shawnigan Lake, who were 10th in 2012. The tournament featured teams from England, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Russia, Australia, Korea and Japan. Earl Marriott earned the right to represent their country after being selected by Rugby Canada last fall. The tournament is among the biggest youth rugby events in the world. When they were chosen to go last year, Roberts said “for rugby people, this (event) is like Mecca.” The Mariners, playing in the tournament’s Pool D, opened on April 28 with a 52-17 loss to the same Nagasaki team they beat on the final day. They struggled over the next two days of pool play, losing 31-0 to Josho Gakuen High School and then, on Day 3, 117-0 to England powerhouse Hartpury College. Hartpury’s squad was among the best youth teams in the world, and

After the pool stage, teams moved into what was called the “place decider tournament” which would determine the rankings from ninth through 16th place. Playing Kokogakuin Kugayama High School (Tokyo), EMS erased a seven-point deficit in the second half to earn a tie, and the Mariners were declared winners by virtue of a tiebreaker.

In their next game, Marriott earned it’s first regulation-time victory, beating Japan’s Meikei High School 22-14. The win ensured EMS they would finish no worse than 10th. In the battle for ninth against Nagasaki, the Mariners staked themselves to an early lead, and then held off a late charge from Nagasaki to earn the win. “The boys dealt with adversity losing the first three games and just completely responded and stayed

the course,” said Roberts. The biggest challenge for his team, Roberts said, was adjusting to the pace of some of their Japanese opponents. “The rugby here in Japan is the quickest rugby at a high school level that I have seen.” he said. “The Canadian boys figured out the pace of the game and have settled into their own style.”

blowout, Stenerson and Hannoun were not the only Birds with big games. Brady Shaw scored twice and added an assist, Craig Wyszmirski had a twopoint game, and blue-liner Devon Toews – who was MVP of the Western Canada Cup – had two assists.

Power play ‘dominant’ › from page 29 all 24 Truro shots he faced. “We had lots of guys who played well tonight,” Erhart said. And despite not playing for a week, and travelling the farthest of any of the five RBC teams, the Eagles showed neither rust nor signs of jet lag Sunday, in what was the second official day of the RBC tournament. “We really stressed using our team speed, and we came out with good jump,” Erhart said. “We played a complete game, and we were dominant on the power play, especially in the first period… we competed for pucks, had good second and third efforts.” The only negative in the win was that centre Adam Tambellini did not finish the game. The six-foot-four Edmonton native – acquired by the Eagles from the Vernon Vipers at the BCHL trade deadline last January – took a hard hit in the second period and left the game. Erhart, however, expected him to be fine, and said his late-game absence had more to do with the score than the severity of Tambellini’s injury. “I think he’s fine. It was precautionary, with the way the score was,” Erhart said. “I suspect he’ll be fine and

ready to go (Monday) night.” Sunday’s win was the Eagles’ first in Summerside since losing the final of the 1997 RBC Cup to the Summerside Western Capitals. The Capitals, the tournament’s host club, were the Eagles’ second opponent of this year’s tournament Monday night. The game was played after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. The Western Capitals were also 1-0 heading into the game, having opened the national junior ‘A’ hockey tournament Saturday with a 5-1 win over the Minnesota Wilderness, who were champions of the Superior International Junior Hockey League this year, but next year will move to the U.S.-based North American Hockey League. On Wednesday, Surrey will face Minnesota – the first American team to ever play for the RBC Cup – in the Peninsula squad’s third game of the tournament. Puck drops at 3 p.m. Atlantic Time (11 a.m. Pacific). The Eagles also play Thursday against Alberta’s Brooks Bandits.
