Police say victim – with “significant ties to the drug trade” – was shot
Two arrests in home-invasion death Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Corey Bennett
Homicide police have announced the arrest of two individuals in connection with the Nov. 9 home-invasion death of Corey Bennett in South Surrey. Officers said Friday that one man with “a criminal record dating back to 2000” was arrested Thursday. He remains in custody charged with manslaughter and robbery with a firearm in connection
with the incident, in which Bennett was shot. A second man, who was arrested early Friday morning, has been charged with second-degree murder and robbery with a firearm. In releasing the information Friday afternoon, Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said investigators have been “relentless” in their pursuit of those responsible for Bennett’s death.
Matthew Rene Bernard, 27, and Donald James Chad, 30 – both last known to reside in Surrey – were to appear in Surrey Provincial Court Monday. In identifying the victim Thursday as 44-year-old Bennett, IHIT said he was known to police “for his significant ties to the drug trade.” He died following an incident police determined was a “targeted home invasion” at a residence in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard.
At about 11:15 p.m. Nov. 9, BC Ambulance and the Surrey Fire Department were called to the home to assist the injured man; RCMP were alerted once the incident was deemed suspicious. Bennett – a father and grandfather – was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. According to Bennett’s Facebook profile, he was an alumnus of Frank Hurt Secondary. i see page 2

Chamber Music Program to be silenced due to health regulations
Unvaccinated concert-goers face masks Arts Reporter
Provincial moves to curb influenza through vaccination have silenced the White Rock Chamber Music Program for the months of January, February and March. Chamber music co-organizer Ellen Neal said Monday that significant numbers of audience members and potential performers who do not -
wish to get the flu shot have made it impossible to organize concerts for those three months, although the concert planned for Dec. 14 will continue as scheduled. The flu-shot campaign has affected the program because the regular venue, Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, is subject to Ministry of Health flu-shot-or-wear-a-mask regulations that will be in effect this year from

Neal said that ethnic and religious groups who do not wish to receive a flu shot represent a significant percentage of audience and performers in the by-donation series of largely classical and light music concerts – along with others who do not wish to have the flu shot for a variety of reasons. i see page 4
Saying he continues to enjoy being a councillor, Marvin Hunt plans to stay on council as long as he can effectively be both MLA and council representative. He will do so without collecting a salary from the municipal coffers. Last May, Hunt became the Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama, raising the spectre of a $600,000 byelection. To avoid that, Hunt said he would do both jobs until January 2014, drawing no pay as city councillor. Now, the MLA and counMarvin Hunt cillor – first elected in 1988 MLA/councillor – said he hopes to remain on council until the November 2014 general election. “With the support of my city council and the support I’ve received around me, we’ll see how long it can last,” Hunt told Black Press Friday. “We’ll stay on as long as we can.” By law, a councillor cannot miss four consecutive regular meetings or the seat is rendered vacant.

After-hours ‘bar’ scene of fatal fight
Penguin Meat Supply Specials Effective Wednesday, November 27 - Saturday, November 30
One dead, one in coma Greg Laychak Black Press
The City of Surrey recorded its 23rd homicide of the year last weekend. Ronald Richard Lomas, 46, was killed in a fight around 4:30 a.m. Saturday at a North Surrey “booze can” – an unlicensed afterhours bar in the 9100-block of 147A Street. Lomas was rushed to hospital but later died of his wounds. Another man involved in the incident remains hospitalized in critical condition in a medically induced coma. There is no confirmation from police whether weapons were used in the incident. Three to five men were seen fleeing the scene, and police want to identify them to help in the investigation. The fight took place at a property that had been shut down as an illegal bar in April, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
“Inside that residence there were approximately 30 to 50 individuals,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for IHIT. “We have spoken with some of them, definitely not all of them, and at this point we’re looking to identify who those individuals were.” Last week, after the city’s record-setting 22nd homicide (see story below), Mayor Dianne Watts announced a special task force to investigate Surrey’s spike in murder this year. The group meets today (Tuesday) for the first time. Watts said the task force is dealing specifically with murders and will not be open to the public, although the findings will be available to all. “We’re going to look at all the causal factors,” Watts said. “The majority (of murders) are gang- and drug-related. We want to look at what we’re already doing, if there’s something more we can do, and identify any gaps.”

Berry’s body was located when police responded to a 911 call regarding a disturbance in the 12000-block of 99 Avenue. His cause of death has not been released, however, police confirm that foul play was a factor and that Berry “had an extensive criminal record dating back to 1987.” That history includes a spot on Surrey RCMP’s 2012 list of 10 most-wanted car thieves. Berry’s 25 Criminal Code convictions since 1988 included kidnapping and robbery (Vancouver, 1999) and assault (Maple Ridge, 2000). Tributes on an RIP page on Facebook describe Berry as someone who had a “big smile and even bigger heart.”

Second homicide unconnected i from page 1 In recent months, RCMP had been called to the home a number of times, including for a September brawl that resulted in road closures and saw several people taken into custody. Pound told Peace Arch News Friday that investigators do not believe Bennett’s death is connected to that of a man found dead in a North Surrey home Nov. 18, although the pair did run in similar circles. Bennett and the second victim – identified as 44-year-old Mark Winston Berry – “have mutual ‘friends’ and acquaintances because they were both engaged in a similar level of the drug trade,” Pound said. “At this point we can say the two homicides are not connected.”

Discussions welcomed after cities propose relocating waterfront tracks
MP, MLA question track-move viability Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
When it comes to possibly relocating train tracks off the Semiahmoo Peninsula waterfront, municipal, provincial and federal politicians are on board with the idea of improving safety. But while local politicians are quick to back the concept, MP Russ Hiebert offered scant hope – from a federal angle – that it will happen anytime soon. There are “a couple of obvious hurdles to jump,” Hiebert (South Surrey-White RockCloverdale) said by email Friday. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced last week that Surrey and White Rock officials have been working since
August to create a business case for relocating the tracks off the waterfront. The topic is to be front-and-centre tonight (Tuesday), at a joint community forum on railway safety. Baldwin and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts are to speak, and information gathered to date on possible options is to be shared. Hiebert said cost and neighbourhood opposition are two significant hurdles in the equation. He estimated the “tremendous” cost at $400-500 million (Baldwin last week estimated the cost to be $350-400 million), and said governments would have to come up with the funds before rail-line owner BNSF would even consider relocation. Residents of neighbourhoods proposed for
a new rail line likely won’t be any happier with the idea than those who currently want it gone from their backyards, he added. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg said while relocating the line is “a nice vision” that he personally supports, he quesMP Russ Hiebert tioned the practicality of the move. “My first preference is relocation of the coal and the dangerous goods,” he said, citing health of the community and environment. “The rest of it is all about livability.”
A proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks that would increase coal-train traffic along the waterfront has been a recent driver behind concerns with the centuryold railway’s route. Recent tragedies, including the Lac-Mégantic derailment and the death of a White MLA Gordon Hogg Rock jogger, have only heightened those concerns. Hogg recalled discussions in the late 1980s – prior to development of White Rock’s promenade – of putting the rail bed underground. i see page 4
Court issues ban
‘Surrey 6’ situation not to be reported Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Monday morning saw a major development occur in the Surrey Six trial, which the general public may not hear about for some time due to a publication ban. The Twitterverse erupted in outrage, as court reporters sat muzzled by a judicial order banning publication of a development in the case at 11 a.m. Monday. “Due to yet another publication ban I can not report what is happening at #SurreySix murder case. It is a major development,” tweeted CTV’s Lisa Rossington under the handle @ctv_lisa. “Our secret courts. Major developments at #SurreySix trial, but media ban means only those in court this morning know what’s happening,” wrote Vancouver Sun editor-in-chief Harold Munro (@haroldmunro). Several outlets encouraged the others to fight the ban in court. “Media open your wallets if you want to report details of #SurreySix. Get a lawyer to fight yet another publication ban,” Rossington wrote. Cody Haevischer, Matthew Johnston and Michael Le are currently on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver for first-degree murder and conspiracy in connection with the Oct. 19, 2007 mass murder of six men in the Balmoral Tower apartment building in North Surrey. They are accused of killing alleged drug dealers Edward Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal, and bystanders Edward Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. The trial of Haevischer, Le and Johnston has been adjourned until Wednesday. It is expected to last up to a year. Jamie Bacon is also charged in the murder of Corey Lal, but he is to be tried at a later date.

Judges find beauty in whale’s death Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
A 17-year-old North Vancouver photographer has received an international accolade for capturing the hauntingly beautiful image of a whale beached on White Rock’s shore. Martin Gregus Jr. told Peace Arch News Friday that when he woke up on June 12 to the news that a young humpback had been found on White Rock beach, he knew it was a chance he couldn’t pass up. “I’m putting my pants on and I’m getting dressed and I thought, even if it’s an hour to get there, I’m really going to regret this if I don’t do it – so, let’s go and do it,” he said. “Once I got there, I was completely focused. When I’m going for the perfect shot, I’m completely unaware of the puddles around me. It was just like adrenaline. Whale. Take pictures.” The avid photographer submitted the shot, which shows a large crowd gathered around the humpback – that died from starvation after fishing line was found tangled from its mouth to tail fluke – to the Gesellschaft Deutscher Tierfotografen (GDT) Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards. The photo, entitled “Final Performance,” which includes the small bouquet of flowers

The high school student has been capturing images since he received his camera as a present from his father on his first Christmas in Canada, after immigrating from Slovakia in 2004. “My dad actually got me Martin Gregus Sr. photo into photography.

W. Gifford-Jones, MD Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did! Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Tracy Holmes photo
A passenger train travels on the BNSF line through White Rock. across the trestle, doesn’t make sense to anybody,” Campbell said. “Hopefully we can get it done within the next five years.” “Society has changed, and accordingly, the railway should change,” said Lawrence. Coun. Larry Robinson described relocation of the tracks as a proactive step that would lessen the risks to citizens and trains alike, while enabling rail traffic to move with speeds and quantities that make economic sense. Coun. Louise Hutchinson said she sees trains “rocking and rolling” every day as they pass her White Rock home. She described the heavier trains as a particular hazard to bluff homes in Ocean Park, citing “vibration erosion”
that adds to wind and water erosion that threatens slope stability. She also has concerns with the volatility of some trains’ cargo, which she said the Lac-Mégantic tragedy proved is often not properly disclosed. Hutchinson said coal trains are the “tip of the iceberg.” “Rail relocation should and must be the real problem to tackle,” she said. Hogg said “good, rational discussion” is essential. “If there’s a safer way to do this and it’s something that we can afford, it’s something we should be doing.” Tuesday’s forum is set for 7-8:30 p.m. at the Pacific Inn, 1160 King George Blvd.

Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called Medi-C Plus™.

Helen Fathers said, noting she has always been shocked by the line’s proximity to the waterfront. “I think it bears looking at. I think there could be a genuine case made for moving it.” At the same time, Fathers is concerned about simply making the matter someone else’s problem. “I am very conscious of are we just going to be passing it on,” she said.

Centre for Active Living to operate under new moniker
Council OKs name change Fine Dining By the Sea
in today's issue
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock’s Centre for Active Living will be renamed in recognition of two longtime supporters of Peace Arch Hospital and local community health. Following a Nov. 18 report by leisure services director Eric Stepura, White Rock council voted unanimously (Coun. Bill Lawrence was not present for the vote) to authoHorst Werner rize renaming of the facility to The Horst & Emmy Werner Centre for Active Living. Stepura told council the request came from Peace Arch HospiEmmy Werner tal and Community Health Foundation officials, as part of an effort to recognize a “generous donation” from the couple’s estate. According to a foundation ‘Fall Reflections’ newsletter, news that Emmy Werner had gifted $1.75 million to the foundation in her will arrived in the summer of
A U T H E N T I C I TA L I A N R xE xS xT xA xU xR xA xN xT Plenty of FREE Parking
2012. In detailing the “story of quiet generosity” the newsletter explains that the Werners were married in 1953, and, after settling in White Rock, made donations to the foundation “on a regular basis.” “They were a very private, humble couple who had no children or family and just a small circle of friends,” the newsletter states. Horst Werner passed away in 2009; Emmy died three years later. “The entirety of her and Horst’s substantial estate was left to the foundation.” One million dollars of the gift went to the CAL expansion; the balance went to the hospital’s ER expansion and renovation proj-
ect. The newsletter further notes that as the Werners’ gift came without warning, foundation officials never had an opportunity to say thank you. The foundation was granted exclusive naming rights to the centre for 25 years as a condition of being a partner and primary funder in its creation in 2010. The new name will appear on signage at the front of the centre – located in Centennial Park – and on North Bluff Road signage; there is to also be a plaque inside the lobby. Costs associated with those changes are to be borne by the foundation. Existing City of White Rock signage will not be affected, Stepura said.

Get rid of the carbon trust
T
he first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it. Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the half-truth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for example, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral. The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters (such as Encana, a natural-gas producer) to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. The only concrete accomplishment of these forced offset purchases, all of which are paid for by taxpayers, is that they may speed up the timetable of some projects. NDP Leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincialelection campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust. He would eliminate it. He made this case, even as he was trying to appeal to more Green-minded voters on southern Vancouver Island, where the Green Party is strongest and where the party actually elected an MLA, Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. The current BC Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

$585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars. Leaving aside the distortion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive taxand-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade? And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neutral” brain trust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas? This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals. Does anyone actually believe that heating hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming? Presumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that. And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate. In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of BC Liberal government. Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private-sector economy follows has simply not worked. The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a BC Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate. His name? Bill Bennett.

Scam calls get short shrift Editor: I recently received two phone calls from someone purporting to be from Public Service Canada. She said my email had been hacked and I was plugging up their server with spam. Obviously it was a variant of the Microsoft scam, but it was close enough that someone without their antenna up could be deceived. Trying to report this got to be really interesting very quickly. I called Public Service Canada and informed them of this scam. They called me back two days later, not really very concerned and told me to call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and the local police. Can’t get through to the anti-fraud centre. Their website was not set up to deal with this sort of scam. Called the local RCMP, but they do not deal with this and was passed off to Industry Canada. They took the info but were not really interested in the claim either. They deal with different kinds of scams. Referred me back to the anti-fraud centre. I was hoping that there was someone who would care enough to notify the public, but I guess not. I am surprised at the buck passing, but I guess I really should not be. Ray Friesen, White Rock
Lawless society Editor: My question is to the residents of White Rock. Getting to a certain age does give permission to people to disobey the law, especially the driving law. It seems that everybody does whatever they feel like. Most evenings, when I am out for a walk with my dog and I try to cross a street, even though it’s my turn, people want to run me over – you know who you are. If you can see me, maybe it’s time to give back your driver’s licence. Also, there is the intersection of North Bluff Road and George Street where a sign was installed that says cars coming up on George Street are not allowed to turn left on North Bluff. Yet nobody cares. My question: where are the police? Why do we have laws if they are not respected? Eva Hompoth, White Rock
Caring in our community Editor: As I was leaving Evergreen Care Home on Nov. 8 after visiting my father, I held the door open for a woman trying to navigate through with her walker. She was calling back to a construction worker by his truck, saying “Thank you Brian. Thank
you Brian.” I assumed that was her grandson, but she quickly went on to say that she was lost and that young man helped her. As I drove down Everall, I saw the worker and asked him what had happened. He told me the lady had been wandering and appeared lost. He guessed that she must have been from the care home up the street, and proceeded to help her into his truck and drive her home. It is wonderful to see this caring within our community, and I think Peak Construction needs to be proud of one of their workers. Doug Klassen, Surrey
Homicide rate not a surprise Editor: Re: Task force to tackle Surrey’s high homicide rate, Nov. 21. For many years, Surrey’s infrastructure has been totally shortchanged by our provincial government. Transportation, health care, postsecondary education, policing – in all these areas, Surrey has gotten half or less of the support that the
cities north of the Fraser get. We have half the local postsecondary seats – relative to our population – that Vancouver, Burnaby or the North Shore get. We have half the hospital beds per resident; we have less than half the transit per person, and we have half the number of police. So is it any surprise that we have more homicides than Vancouver? If we want the future to live here, our MLAs must convince the provincial government to support our essential services at the same level as Vancouver’s. Geoff Dean, Surrey

The dividing rail line between the Semiahmoo Peninsula and the foreshore is being questioned by local mayors.
Mixed reaction to mayors’ move Editor: Re: Mayors probe moving tracks inland, Nov. 21. Congratulations with this very overdue initiative. It is beyond comprehension that this totally outdated and terribly destructive route has not been relocated a very long time ago. It is not only a scourge for the Peninsula community but also not at all cost effective for BNSF considering the potential for disasters; moreover a direct rural route such as perhaps parallel to Highway 99 would avoid the need for slowing the trains down through our communities. The sooner the decision makers will see the light, the better – because I have always thought this is an absolute no-brainer. Louise Sorensen, Surrey Q White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin and some members of council are spending a lot of time and energy in the wrong direction. It is our MP, Russ Heibert, who should be front and centre in dealing with such a federally mandated issue. If one looks at the City of New Westminster specifically, it is a comparable example of urban development and railway noise issues. Both have train right of ways that existed before development, with informed purchasers who now complain about the pre-existing trackage and yards that present similar issues such as noise. Yes, the complaints of residents in these communities is equally as valid as the residents of our community, but suggest the answer is in forming a good working relationship with the railways towards noise reduction. It would be nice to see Baldwin and council as focused on the issues of development, zoning and permits – and not just the BNSF. It seems the railway has become a convenient distraction for the media as re-election plans are soon to get underway. Fatalities and injuries are always regrettable with railways, but the occurrence and frequency is, in fact, small historically.
Our mayor and certain members of council – with their NIMBY approach to the BNSF – is definitely not the answer to this problem. Ron Eves, White Rock Q We could not believe our ears when White Rock Mayor Baldwin announced last week that the cities of White Rock and Surrey are working together to relocate the railway line from our seafront to a safer location. Kudos to all involved. Hopefully the province and the federal government will be on side. What a relief it will be to our communities, and what an opportunity lies ahead for opening up a pedestrian/ bike path from the border to Crescent Beach. The mind boggles at the potential to enhance and share this beautiful section of safe beach front. We had been told in the past that this was impossible, but people like Ken Jones of Smart Rail persisted with their vision. It is easy to criticize politicians, but the quiet diplomacy and co-operation between Baldwin and Surrey’s Mayor Dianne Watts – with the co-operation of their councillors and staff – has led to this very positive outcome. We urge you to support this project and attend the information meeting at the Pacific Inn on Nov. 26. The icing on the cake was a motion from Coun. Larry Robinson to request the federal Ministry of Transportation to address our community’s concern about the transit of dangerous goods by rail through our community. It passed unanimously. What an evening! Roger and Patricia Kealy, White Rock Q I suppose some of the cost of moving the rail line would be recovered by the increase in property taxes paid by the land owners that have had their views greatly improved. Some of the charm of White Rock is the trains. And who knows, in the future they may be a good transit line to Vancouver. Curt Smith, Surrey

On Oct. 12, at 2 a.m., a 25-year-old woman was leaving Gastown when she flagged what she believed to be a cab in the 100-block of Water Street. She got in, and was driven to an area of East Vancouver, where she was beaten and sexually assaulted. The next day, police asked for the public’s help in identifying a suspect. One person observed a minivan and driver matching the suspect description, and noted the licence plate. Detectives were able to quickly identify a person of interest. Last week, Vancouver police arrested 50-yearold Stephen Lee Schienbein in Surrey.

Petition to show support for existing Five Corners business
Cloverdale residents oppose 24-hour store Jennifer Lang lack Press
Residents in the Five Corners area of West Cloverdale are standing behind a local convenience store against a potential rival wanting to build on the opposite corner. Nearly 1,000 people have signed a petition aimed at Surrey City Hall opposing a proposed 7-Eleven to be built at 168 Street and 60 Avenue. As of last week, 987 people had signed a petition being put forward by Five Corner Convenience, a family-run corner shop owned by Ramandeep and Parminder Gill. A development permit was issued in July for a one-storey, 3,032-square-foot commercial building for a proposed retail store at 6021 168 Street. On Oct. 23, proponent Samuel Chan of Ionic Architecture Inc., applied for a building permit for a 7-Eleven. According to a representative of the proponents, the public hearing took place three years ago, when the
development permit application was submitted. He was surprised to learn of the petition, because there was no public opposition to a 7-Eleven at the time. The petition states that another local 7-Eleven, located at 17638 60 Avenue, has a “high level of robberies, drug dealing and other criminal activity and not conducive to a residential development” and notes the property is within 600 metres of Surrey Centre Elementary. Ramandeep Gill said she’s worried not only about the impact a 24-hour franchise will have on her eight-year-old business but what it would do the neighbourhood. “If we (have to) close the store, we will still live in this area,” she said as she dealt with the after-school rush. Gill said some customers are coming into the store just to sign the petition. Regarding what else could be developed on the property, she said “everybody has different views,” noting the neighbourhood would

welcome a restaurant, a laundromat and even a cold beer and wine store – just not a 24-hour 7-Eleven. “Everyone’s kids grow up in this area. They don’t want to worry all night.” Resident Jacqueline Davison wasted no time in signing her name, as she paid for purchases during a visit with her two grandchildren, Kacie, 4, and Damien, 10. Davison said a 7-Eleven would be out of place on the Five Corners junction in historic Surrey Centre. She fears it will change the unique character and sense of heritage in the neighbourhood. The property in question – the former site of Cheung’s Market, which has been torn down – is directly across from the Gill’s shop, adjacent to a cluster of small businesses, including a restaurant and a salon. “They’re all little businesses,” Gill said. “It’s so hard for people to get jobs nowadays and for people starting their own businesses.”

Experts concerned current scandals might turn females away from politics
SFU Surrey hosts campaign school for women Sheila Reynolds Black Press
While women make up more than half of Canada's population, they hold a much smaller fraction of the political positions both federally and provincially – only a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons and just over a third in the B.C. legislature are occupied by females. In an effort to raise the ratios, dozens of women are headed to "campaign school" at SFU Surrey later this month. The Canadian Women Voter Congress (CWVC) is holding its 14th-annual Women's Campaign School Nov. 29-30. Seasoned female politicians and political campaigners will spend two days coaching the more than 50 registrants on the art and science of successful political campaigning. “The United Nations says that a critical mass of at least 30 per cent of women is needed before legislatures produce public policy representing women’s concerns and before political institutions begin to change the way they do business," said Jennifer Marchbank, a campaign school co-sponsor and speaker. "A more collaborative political system will attract more women, and more diverse men, to the electoral process.”

Jennifer Marchbank will be part of the Canadian Women Voter Congress event this weekend. As associate professor in SFU’s Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies, and in Explorations in Arts and Social Sciences, Marchbank is involved in outreach and advocacy work involving Surrey youth facing gender-bias. She's concerned that high-profile political scandals – such as the
PROSPECTIVE PARENT NIGHT THURS DEC 5, 2013
PRESENTATION - 7:00 PM
ongoing drug admissions and questionable behaviour of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, and the recent ousting of members of Senate over improper expenses – could make politics less attractive to women. “Scandal may discourage women from self-selecting to put themselves forward as a candidate as women’s political socialization
has been show to discourage women from self-selecting," said Marchbank. Trina Isakson, CWVC chair and SFU Faculty of Environment instructor, will also be at the campaign school. She says while many believe more women in politics would raise the bar for politicians’ behaviour, increasing
the number of females would also equalize the scrutiny. “Female politicians may hold themselves to a higher standard than men do because they feel pressure to work harder and better to show their worth in electoral politics among men,” said Isakson. “But once there is true equality of opportunity in the electoral process, scandals will Trina Isakson also be equal SFU instructor opportunity.” Linda Reid, Adriane Carr, Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay and Mobina Jaffer will help campaign-school attendees acquire skills critical to political success, including understanding key political positions, corresponding responsibilities, financial-reporting requirements, fundraising challenges and the need for well-crafted campaign messages. Prince George-Valemount MLA Shirley Bond, who also serves as B.C. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, will deliver the school’s keynote address.

Students help after Haiyan Grade 8 students at White Rock Christian Academy are appealing for help to make a difference in the Philippines following the destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan. Carly Wornig, 13, said she and her classmates have planned a series of fundraising events at the school this week (Nov. 25-29) to that end – including an ice cream day and a pyjama day – and are hoping
Semiahmoo Peninsula residents will boost their efforts further by donating at the school. “We looked through a lot of pictures and we just felt that we should help out,” Wornig said Friday. Typhoon Haiyan ripped through the Philippines on Nov. 7, killing thousands of people and reducing communities to wastelands of debris. The storm was one of the worst to hit
landfall in recorded history. “It was crazy,” Wornig said of the destruction. Anyone wishing to help the students reach their fundraising goal of $1,000 may drop donations off at the 2265 152 St. school through Dec. 2. The funds will be donated through World Vision. For more information, call 604-531-9186. - Tracy Holmes

BLACK FRIDAY
With the h holiday season mere weeks away, many rresidents on the Semiahmoo Peninsula are beginning to tackle their Penin Christmas shopping lists, searching high and low for the best bargains for gifts, decorations, party supplies and other goodies.
With our close proximity to the U.S. border, many shoppers are tempted to borde head south for bargains this time of year, thinking they’ll be greeted with huge savings at American outlet stores and shopping malls. The reality, however, is that the savings are rarely as great as one thinks, once fuel costs, time spent in border lineups, food and even accommodations are factored in to the big picture. If you take a look a little closer to home, you’ll Ànd a plethora of hot bargains from local retailers, and the perks of shopping local are plentiful. Economically, it’s reassuring to know that your hard earned dollars are being spent within your own community, and not in a foreign country.
at a local business, you’re often indirectly supporting local charities as well. Then there’s the shopping experience itself; crossing the border these days can be a time-consuming and stressful process, and a quick trip down to Bellingham can easily turn into a full-day affair. Who has time for such trips, when you can pop over to one of the many unique and diverse shopping centres around the Peninsula and be back home with your feet up within an hour or two? The other thing to consider is the quality of customer service you receive locally – many small businesses in our community are owned by people who live locally, and care deeply about the health and overall character of the Semiahmoo Peninsula. If there’s a problem with your purchase and it needs to be exchanged or returned, doing so locally is much easier than heading back down to the States, yet again. In addition to saving time and energy, staying local is also easier on your fuel bill – many shops are even within walking distance of residential areas here in White Rock and South Surrey.
Support the Local Economy
This helps to create and sustain jobs locally, contribute to the health of our local economy and business community, and starts a chain reaction of money Áowing from one business to another, as many local businesses support one another within a community.
If you take a look at many of the non-proÀt and community organizations around town, many of them are benefactors of donations and sponsorship from locally owned businesses. Therefore, when you spend your money
In a small, tight-knit community such as ours, it’s important that we look out for one another on a whole range of issues – and supporting local businesses is one way to help your fellow neighbor and contribute to our community’s overall health and well-being. The next time you Ànd yourself about to hop in the car and head south for some ‘bargains,’ consider the importance of shopping locally and make a plan to spend your money right here at home. With all the extra time you’ll have on your hands, you can get out and enjoy everything the Semiahmoo Peninsula has to offer, and rediscover why this is such a great place to live and work.

Frog Princess
Sonata No. 2, Opus 22, at the next Classical Coffee Concert at 10:30 a.m., Dec. 5 at the Surrey Arts Centre studio theatre.

In upcoming concerts host and raconteur Hagen will welcome violist Marcus Takizawa (Jan. 16), soprano Robyn Driedger-Klassen (Feb. 13) and French horn player Oto Carrillo.

The Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s annual pantomime returns to Surrey Arts Centre Theatre Nov. 27 to Dec. 8. This year’s production is The Frog Princess, an original from the pens of director Mike Balser and collaborators Norma Rushton and Cathy Wilmot, featuring Sheena Johnston in the title role of the transformed Princess Anastasia of Russia, with Michelle Gaetz (who played Pinocchio in last year’s White Rock Players’ Club panto) as principal boy Misha, and Chelsea Tucker and James Walker as a most villainous duo – glamourous witch Ivana Castacurski and her less-thanbright son Boris. Also featured are Joni HaydenSummerton as Anastasia’s best friend Petra and Adrian Duncan as the Tsar, with the comedic interruptions of good cop-bad cop fairies Sam Andrews and Jeff Christensen. Performances run Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. For tickets and information, call 604-501-5566, or visit www.fvgss. org

Rumpelstiltskin The White Rock Players Club and panto author Dave Baron make no apologies at all to Ian Fleming for Rumpelstiltskin, latest edition in the almost 60 year tradition of the White Rock pantomime (Nov. 29 - Dec. 28, at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.) Principal boy ‘Bond, Jimmy Bond’ (Kirstin Stewart), must battle nefarious master criminal Squire Goldringer (Ray Van Ieperen) and rescue his lady love Penny Money (MacKenzie Claus), with the help of Dame ‘M’ (Bryce Mills) in a show that promises “live 3-D” and a guarantee, for fans of obligatory panto-animal shenanigans, that “no giraffes were harmed during production.” Also playing lead roles in this panto spoof of an equally venerable franchise are Hunter Golden (Fools) as the titular Rumpelstiltskin, Krystle Hadlow as Belladonna, Jennifer Tiles as Rocky Raccoon and Elyse Raible as Jack Russell. Steering the show is director Susanne de Pencier. Shows run Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2:30 p.m. matinees Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22.

typically bright and upbeat, floraldominated watercolours and handpainted ceramics. Lindgren also delights in watercolours featuring flowers, coming to the medium after a long involvement with oils and training in figure drawing, landscape and still life, which she balanced with raising four children and a career in nursing. Latterly she has also extended her interest to include acrylic painting as well. Dutkowski, who discovered her love of fibre while growing up in England during wartime and the post-war years, is now internationally recognized as a fibre artist, and has been founder and co-ordinator of White Rock’s Outside The Box festival for three years. While she no longer weaves
tapestries, she continues to work with wool and other natural fibres, and was recently given a full page in the book 30 Selected Contemporary Artists, published by the Museum of the Americas Artists Library in Miami. For more details and opening hours, contact the gallery at 604536-6460.
Traditional jazz The sounds of Dixieland and retro jazz continue each Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240 (2643 128 St.).

Peninsula Productions will present its annual Christmas show with gospel and blues master John Lee Sanders and his band, plus the stellar contributions of blues singer Sibel Thrasher and zydeco blues fiddler Gary Comeau, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. Sanders’ years of experience on stage and in the studio have included working with such greats as Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson and Bo Diddley. “Last year’s Blues and Gospel show was such a success that we decided to make it an annual event,” said Peninsula Productions’ artistic director Wendy Bollard. “It is an entertaining way for folks on the Peninsula to get together and celebrate the season.” Meanwhile, Peninsula Productions’ presentation of the political thriller Death and the Maiden has been delayed until further notice due to a family emergency. The play was scheduled to have been performed for five performances only, Nov. 26-30, at Semiahmoo Arts’ Centennial Park studio. Notice of rescheduling will be forthcoming.

Comfort tips for travelling
After fifty years of good morning and good night kisses...
If your retirement years include an escape from the cold this winter, take a look at these helpful tips from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) to make travelling less hectic. Consider packing any liquids, gels and aerosols in your checked baggage. If you need to take some with you in your carry-on bag, make sure they are in containers of 100 mL or less, and place them together in a one-litre clear, re-sealable plastic bag. Pack this at the top of your bag so it is easy to remove at the security checkpoint. If you have liquid and gel-based medication, it should be properly labeled. Dressing smart is just as important as packing smart. On your travel day, wear comfortable clothing with easyto-remove outerwear, belts and shoes. Avoid snaps or metal buttons and limit jewelry to small earrings, watches,

wedding bands and eyeglasses. Timing is everything. Make sure you arrive at the airport well in advance of your flight, especially during peak travel times – early morning, noon, early evening and holidays. At the airport, have your boarding pass ready when you approach the screening checkpoint. If you have mobility issues, look for the Family/Special Needs lane and let the screening officer know your level of ability (e.g. if you can stand or walk unsupported).
Your airline is also there to help. If you require assistance through preboard screening, contact your airline in advance. When you arrive at your destination, it’s best not to be in a rush to disembark – if you wait until the crowd of people has tapered off, you’ll have an easier time getting your carry-on belongings together and getting off the airplane safely.

Stay safe during cold snaps Don’t get caught off-guard by Mother Nature this season Though the official start of winter is still a few weeks away, if you've spent anytime outdoors over the past few weeks, you will have felt the cold bite of Jack Frost. And while the winter-like weather sets a nice tone for the upcoming holiday season, it can also pose a threat to older residents on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. But if you take simple precautions, both indoors and out through the winter months, you're more likely to enjoy this chilly season instead of counting down the days till spring arrives. First and foremost, be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast throughout the week so you know what to expect from Mother Nature and can plan accordingly. Keep your eyes and ears open for wind-chill and snowfall warnings, as these can potential mean safety issues should they pan out as predicted. If you do have to head out into the cold, dress warmly and in layers, making sure to wear a hat, scarf and mittens or insulated gloves. Proper footwear is imperative this time of year, so make sure you have shoes or boots that are warm, waterproof and have good traction to help prevent slips. Your skin will likely need a little extra attention this time of year, as the cold, dry air can sometimes cause some
damage. Use plenty of moisturizing creams and lotions – especially on your lips – and increase your water intake to help keep yourself well hydrated. Make sure the pathways and sidewalks around your house or apartment building are regularly sanded to prevent ice – if you're unsure if someone in your building is taking care of this, give your landlord or strata council a call to make sure. Though there isn’t any signs of snowfall in the immediate future, take extra care when venturing out should the white stuff make an appearance on the Semiahmoo Peninsula anytime soon. If you haven’t done so already, have your furnace and hot-water tank serviced by a certified professional. A broken-down furnace this time of year could spell big trouble for any household, but especially one that is home to elderly residents. Be sure to have flashlights, candles and other emergency supplies on hand, should our area be hit with a big storm that causes a power outage. And finally, because this time of year we tend to stay home a little more often, especially when the weather is really nasty, if you live alone be sure to check in with friends and family members on a regular basis and plan get-togethers as often as you can, to avoid too much isolation.

The Healing Power of Cold Laser Therapy Cold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions.
Cold Laser Therapy: Healing Faster After Surgery [Louba’s story]
Laser light transfers energy to interior cells • Stimulates natural healing • Restores normal cellular structure and function • Prevents future injury
My husband is one of those people who avoids visits to the doctor’s office. He dislikes any kind of medication and by nature has always been quite sceptical about health care related issues and latest developments. That was the case when our kids were small and is still the case now that he is in his early sixties.
What you will experience: • Pain goes away • Reduced inflammation/swelling • Restored mobility
One early morning last August, as he was hurrying downstairs without turning on the light, he skipped a couple of the bottom stairs in the dark, landing hard on one foot tearing his quadriceps tendon. The injury was extensive. An MRI revealed a 90% tear. Two days later he had surgery to repair it. Not knowing what to expect, we were shocked to see the row of metal staples holding his suture closed. A full leg cast completed his experience. It was difficult to get around.
Why Cold Laser? • Healing, not just masking of pain • Safe, drug free & no side effects • Avoid or delay the need for surgery • Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms The Concept Behind Cold Laser Therapy The healing power of light The concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand different stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments. Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For example, light has shown to be effective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suffer from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination. Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bodies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supplements during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis. When we experience pain or inflammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble healing as a result. Blood flow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal. The science Scientific research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them. Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas. By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues. How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work? Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accelSKIN (Epidermis) erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets SKIN (Dermis) Red Array injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of FAT inflammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy Infrared Array does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term. MUSCLE The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using Infrared a different wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimuLaser late your body’s cells. The first step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of BONE muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing inside affected joints and even bone.
As it turns out, this type of injury is quite common. Although it can happen to anyone, it occurs most often among middle-aged people. A quadriceps tear typically results when a heavy load is placed on the leg while the foot is planted and knee partially bent. As anyone who suffered this type of injury knows, it can be disabling. Surgery is usually needed to repair it in order to regain full knee function and mobility. According to medical journals, the recovery process can take as long as a year in many cases, even for athletes. Realistically for those of us who are not athletes it may take even longer. We were concerned with how long would it take to fully heal and regain normal knee mobility. I happen to be part of a group that founded Solaj Wellness Centre specializing in helping people suffering with a variety of musculoskeletal issues from osteoarthritis to sports injuries heal faster, regain strength, mobility and range of motion. While exploring rehabilitation options with Doctor Mel at Solaj Wellness Centre, she highlighted the impressive success rates of applying Cold Laser Therapy in musculoskeletal injury situations, leading to faster healing and recovery - roughly twice as fast. This really got my husband’s full attention! He began regular Cold Laser Therapy treatments the day of his injury to control the swelling and pain and continued the treatments after the surgery. Although the cast was still in place, it was possible to reach the injured area. Almost immediately he reported less pain and reduced swelling. The laser is safe to use over metal implants, pacemakers, and other devices. The staples were removed and the cast was replaced by a locked brace a week and a half later. The picture below shows just how prominent the scar was at that point. With the cast gone, the next stage of Cold Laser Therapy focused directly on the injured area and the scar. Seven weeks post surgery my husband began physiotherapy and exercise. His trainer was impressed with the range of mobility in his knee. Within a month he resumed his long walks on Crescent Beach. After 20 treatments over a 9-week period the change in appearance of the scar was remarkable. As the next picture shows, the scar was no longer prominent. In fact it was hardly noticeable. There was no inflammation, and the visibility of the scar was dramatically reduced. Cold Laser Therapy is a remarkable treatment option Day of cast removal that has helped people with a wide range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions and acute injuries. Best of all, it is painless, does not involve pills or needles and greatly accelerates the healing process.

If you or a loved one are suffering from a chronic condition or injury, please check out Cold Laser Therapy. Of course we would love to help you at Solaj, but that is not the purpose of sharing this story. Although Cold Laser Therapy has been used with impressive results and no adverse side effects for almost 30 years, it is not widely known. I wanted to share this personal experience to raise awareness of this revolutionary option that helps people heal quickly and get back to normal life.

The Semiahmoo Peninsula’s most successful senior boys hoops program – and among the best in the entire province – will not play this season, as White Rock Christian Academy has chosen not to court a team for the 2013/14 season. Since the late-’90s, WRCA has been among B.C.’s elite AAA teams, winning provincial titles in 1999, 2003 and 2005. They also placed second in 2008, 2010 and last year, when they lost in the provincial championship game to Langley’s Walnut Grove Gators. This year there were not enough players to put a team together. Head coach Dale Shury, who stepped in and took over coaching duties two seasons ago when John Dykstra abruptly quit, was also not planning to return behind the bench. WRCA will still have junior and Grade 8 teams this season.

Head coach calls for more consistent effort on defence
Eagles split pair of games with Merritt Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Another weekend, another split decision for the Surrey Eagles. A day after a one-goal loss to the Centennials Friday night in Merritt, the BC Hockey League club returned the favour on home ice, edging the visiting Cents 2-1 in front of an announced crowd of more than 980. Saturday’s lowscoring affair featured the Eagles’ annual Teddy Bear Toss, in which fans toss stuffed animals on the ice when the home team scores first. And this year, the team made those fans hold onto the bears a little longer than they would have liked, as the Birds didn’t get on the board until the 40-second mark of the third period, when Jonah Renouf finally broke the goose egg and caused stuffed toys to litter the ice. “It was good to get that one. We weren’t sure if we were going to have to make the fans come back the next game (to throw the bears),” quipped head coach Peter Schaefer. In addition to triggering the beartoss, Renouf ’s marker – his 10th of the season – tied the game at 1-1. Merritt’s Jeff Wright had given the Centennials a 1-0 lead in the first period, when, with Surrey’s Joseph Drapluk serving a hooking penalty, he beat Eagles’ goaltender for a power-play goal 3:40 into the game. Less than seven minutes later, Eagles’ forward Danton Heinen scored the game-winner on the power play. “It was just one of those low-scoring, playoff-style games. It was a good team effort and we were happy to get the win,” said Schaefer. Surrey managed just 27 shots on Merritt netminder Devin Kero, while the Centennials fired just 21 on Eagles goalie Devon Fordyce. The tilt was a far cry from Friday’s offensive slugfest, which saw the Eagles hold a one-goal lead on four different occasions before Merritt scored twice in the final two minutes to steal the two points. “We got the lead, and
were playing OK, but just weren’t able to hold onto it. We lost the game, but we battled really hard,” Schaefer said. Surrey got goals from Darious Davidson, Renouf, Brett Mulcahy and Luke Sandler. Bo Didur was tagged with the loss in net for Surrey, stopping 25 of 30 shots on goal. The .500 weekend leaves then with an 11-16-1 record, 13 points back of the BCHL Mainland Division lead, which is held by the Prince George Spruce Kings, who have 36 points. And despite the gap in points, if a team were to get on a hot streak, the order at the top could change quickly – no team in the Mainland Division
has won more than two games in a row. In the two-game set with Merritt, Schaefer saw signs that his team was ready to pull itself out of its frequent “win one, lose one” pattern, but said overall, he still needed to see consistency from his team, especially defensively. “We just have to be patient. There are games where I think we’re getting better, but then there are games where we go out and give up five goals,” he said. “We still need to find that consistency. Hopefully we can figure it out and put a winning streak together here. If we don’t, we’ll continue to win one and lose one every weekend.”

Earlier this month, the senior swimmer, 89, was honoured by the Canadian Masters Swimming Association for completing her two-millionth metre – 2,000 km – in competitive masters swimming (which is the equivalent of swimming from Vancouver to just east of Winnipeg). DeLeeuw, a member of the White Rock Wave Masters Swim Club, trains twice a week with the club at South Surrey Indoor Pool, as well as once more per week on her own. Over the last dozen years, DeLeeuw has set numerous B.C. and Canadian masters swimming records and has times ranked in the top-10 in a number of FINA listings. In January, she will move into the 90-94 age category, with sights set on breaking world records.

Rivalry Week returns i from page 41 hoops excitement in the area’s three public schools.

Marriott has a 13-player roster heading into the season, which, Finlay said, “is a pretty big change from having just eight or nine guys last year.” Finlay said the one thing his team lacks is size, which may put the team at a disadvantage against teams with big forwards. “I think our biggest guy is about six-foot-three, but there’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t teach size,” he said, adding that the team will try to compensate for its lack of height with a quick, up-tempo game plan.

Our dear Husband, Father and Granda (Nano), Ron Pattison passed away on Nov 22nd at 8:45 am with the sun on his cheeks and the Northumbrian pipes playing; surrounded by his loving wife, Christine and daughters, Jayne & Kate. Ron loved sailing, the ocean, the salty sea air, a pint on Friday with his best mates, and of course, music. He was a charismatic soul loved by all. He had such a zest for life and fun times, which is why he had an abundance of love in his life. He fought a courageous and brave battle with Mesothelioma, a deadly and aggressive cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. He will be sorely missed by all. The most sincerest of thanks to Dr. Joshi, Maureen and the entire team on the Palliative & Hospice floor of Peace Arch Hospital and Kit of Home Health. Ron is pre-deceased by his son, Timothy (2008); and leaves behind to mourn, his loving and devoted wife of 45 years, Christine; daughters Jayne (Wes) & Kate (Cam); grandchildren, Chloe, Havana, Riviera, Jacob and step-grandchildren, Chelsye & Max. Also, to mourn Ron are his family in England and an abundance of friends here and across the sea. Viewings will be held Thursday, Nov. 28th from 6:00 8:00 pm and Friday, Nov. 29th at 3:00 pm, followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 pm (Friday) at Victory Funeral Centre, 14831 28 Avenue, Surrey, BC. All are welcomed to celebrate this unique man’s life. Donations would be gratefully accepted at the White Rock / South Surrey Hospice Society.

ARIES
LIBRA
Aries, delay your plans for the time being. A number of unexpected tasks that will require your undivided attention in the coming day, so clear your schedule.
Libra, conflicting emotions arise in the week ahead. You have the desire to fulfill people's expectations of you, but you also just want some time to yourself.
TAURUS
SCORPIO
Assume the role of the strong and silent type this week, Taurus. You do not have to share your opinions with everyone, as an air of mystery may boost your popularity.
