Poll finds support for return of photo radar

Even in death, still no respect for Surrey woman

Enforcement option beats out higher speed limits by Jeff Nagel A NEW poll has found more B.C.

A Christmas memorial wreath was placed at the site where Janice Shore was savagely beaten one year ago. It lasted only a day. by Kevin Diakiw

ON SUNDAY, at a vacant lot in Whalley, he cleared the space of garbage, needles and condoms, and then hung a wreath on the tree where 45-year-old Janice Shore was savagely beaten last year. The following day, he returned to put a circle of candles at the makeshift memorial – but the wreath, along with Shore’s picture, had been torn down and taken away. The man, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said he was both saddened and surprised at the lengths someone took to remove the wreath. It had been fastened firmly to the tree. “Someone went to a lot of effort to rip that thing out of there,” he told The Leader. He said he’ll be back daily to make sure some reminder of Shore remains. On Dec. 2, 2012, Shore was found barely conscious, partially clothed and severely beaten in the empty lot near the edge of Whalley’s notorious “strip” near 135A Street and 106 Avenue. She died in hospital after spending two months in a coma. The man who hung the wreath – who brought Shore flowers and chocolate while she was in hospital – said when she died, he considered her to be an example of everything that is wrong with the world.

“Half the men driving out there say we’re just going too slow...”

“Killing her is bad enough, but they want to destroy her memory.”

residents support a return to photo radar than endorse higher speed limits on the province’s highways. The Insights West poll conducted for Black Press found 37 per cent back higher highway speed limits, while 55 per cent said they should be kept the same and five per cent would lower them. Meanwhile, 39 per cent support bringing back photo radar to help curb speeding, while 53 per cent were opposed. The camera-equipped roadside Mario Conseco vans automatically detected speeders and issued tickets by mail in the 1990s and were eliminated in 2001 by the incoming B.C. Liberal government. The findings split sharply on gender lines, with women and older drivers much more likely to oppose higher speed limits and support photo radar speed enforcement.

Witness describes tense moments following Surrey Six murders Former girlfriend of accused says she saw him write ‘people died’ after slayings by Sheila Reynolds THE EX-GIRLFRIEND of one of two accused

murderers in the Surrey Six case broke down on the witness stand Tuesday as she recalled her decision to work with police and testify against Cody Haevischer and Matt Johnston. “I really didn’t want to do it because these guys were my family,” said K.M., who cannot be named due to a publication ban. “I loved Cody more than anything. “I hated cops because… I was a gangster I guess.” I earlier testimony Tuesday, K.M., a key witness for the Crown and an admitted drug dealer, told the court about the moments before and after six men were executed in a Surrey apartment on Oct. 19, 2007. K.M. said Haevischer, her boyfriend at the time, wrote “people died” on an erasable white board on the afternoon of the murders. (In earlier testimony, she explained dry-erase boards were used by gang members to eliminate paper trails). Earlier in the day, said K.M., Johnston showed up with Person X (who cannot be named due to a publication ban) to the Stanley apartment building in Surrey. She said the two men were carrying “man bags.” They took black gloves out of the bags, she said, and Witness K.M. there were handguns already on a table in the living room. K.M. said she and Johnston used Windex and paper towels to clean one of two guns and bullets, which were then put back into the firearm. She explained she had cleaned guns and ammunition before, to rid them of any fingerprints in the event anyone was shot. Haevischer, she said, wasn’t helping with the guns, but was doing other things, including getting changed into dark clothing. K.M. said there was no discussion about why they were cleaning the guns and the men “just

“I really didn’t want to do it because these guys were my family.”

kind of left” after that. About an hour later, she testified, Haevischer and Johnston returned, dumping out a garbage bag of cellphones and money on the floor. She said she began helping Johnston take thousands of dollars from the bag. K.M. said she smelled something burning and went to the kitchen to see Haevischer boiling the phones in a pot of water on the stove. His brother Justin was with him, K.M. said, and Haevischer was writing notes to his brother on an erasable white board. “He wrote ‘people died’,” she told the court, noting it was the first she’d heard of any deaths that day. She didn’t ask any questions, she said, because it was extremely “hectic” and “tense.” Haevischer told her to do anything his brother said. K.M. said she was told to grab a laundry bag containing the clothes Haevischer had been wearing and the boiled phones. She and Justin Haevischer then bought a jerry can of gas and drove to a spot in Surrey. K.M. was concerned about the location because they had all been there the week prior beating someone up. A neighbour approached K.M. and Justin, warning them there had been an incident the week before, so they got back in the car, leaving the gasoline behind. They bought more gas and found an empty lot off King George Boulevard where Justin Haevischer burned the Witness K.M. laundry bag and its contents. The two returned to the Stanley, speaking to Johnston briefly as he drove away. Once in the apartment, K.M. said Haevischer told her to pack her bags. They went to a LEADER FILE IMAGE friend’s place in Richmond. Haevischer made Cody Haevischer (left) and Matthew Johnston in the prisoner’s box her throw her cellphone out the window on the way, K.M. said. at B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

“I loved Cody more than anything. I hated cops because... I was a gangster I guess.”

Review: Service gaps in Surrey for at-risk women From page 1 He didn’t know Shore, but he said police reaction after the beating was upsetting. RCMP waited more than a week to issue a public plea for witnesses, saying there wasn’t a threat to the public and they were already working on promising leads. They didn’t say much early in the investigation, only that Shore had been the victim of a serious assault and suffered life-threatening injuries, including broken bones. “I was blown away, because if she was rich, she would have been big media,” the man said. “And the brutal nature of it really upset me.” He’s not alone. The attack on Shore rattled the city, in part because of her troubled past. Shore lost her father when she was eight, and her brother when she was 17. That same year, she was institutionalized – diagnosed with manic depression, medicated and treated surgically. Medication helped quell the psychosis, which came in episodes during which she would cry about pain and loss. Hungering for some level of normalcy, Shore married when she was 18, and had three children. Because of her mental condition, the government seized her kids. Soon, her marriage collapsed, and she began

living with her other brother in Whalley. She developed a dependency on street drugs and collected bottles and panhandled along King George Boulevard between 100 and 108 Avenues to make ends meet. Social service providers remember her as a kind woman with an easy smile. However, someone on the mean streets of Whalley didn’t agree. At 11 p.m. on Dec. 1 last year, Shore went to the Flamingo Hotel parking lot to collect cigarette butts that could be emptied and re-rolled. She didn’t come home. The following afternoon, Shore was found clinging to life in the empty lot. She succumbed to her injuries on Feb. 18, 2013. Her death prompted Surrey Couns. Barinder Rasode and Judy Villenueve to call for a review of city services that may have failed Shore prior to her death. “It is important to make sure that there are some measurable outcomes on the type of services that are made available by taxpayers’ dollars,” Rasode said. A year later, the review has found the City of Surrey doesn’t have enough affordable housing, detox beds, or transportation options to adequately help vulnerable women. The review noted four out of five women at Servants Anonymous Society said they

Jonquil Hallgate helped pay for their rent through sexual exploitation. Second-stage housing, for the period between substance abuse treatment and independent living, is also in short supply, as is housing for youth. The working group – which included current social service providers – found there was a lack of detox beds, and shelters reported seeing many more women with undiagnosed mental health issues.

The review also found that vulnerable women like Shore are much less likely to report incidents to police, and therefore have less access to support services than those who do report. Rasode said the city needs more provincial funding in order to close the gaps. As for the removal of Shore’s memorial wreath this week, Jonquil Hallgate, executive director of the Surrey Urban Mission Society, said it reveals an ugly side of humanity. “I think that’s just a very sad statement,” she said. The man who put up the wreath said its disappearance mirrors how Shore was treated. “Killing her is bad enough, but they want to destroy her memory,” he said. No one has been arrested for Shore’s murder. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says it still takes this case very seriously. “The anniversary of any homicide is particularly hard on family and friends,” said IHIT spokesperson Dominic Duchensneau. “While we cannot divulge the details of where we are with evidence in relation to this investigation, I can tell you we continue to move forward.” Anyone who has any information is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The couple moved to a Richmond hotel and learned their apartment had been searched, which concerned K.M. because they’d left crack cocaine bits on the counter and a box of bullets behind the TV.

BMW had been seized by police. She remained in a relationship with Haevischer until early 2009. Haevischer was charged that April and eventually K.M. became a protected witness. In earlier testimony, K.M. talked about how she met Haevischer in 2003 and became a drug runner for the Red Scorpions, and gave details about the inner workings of the gang. In the months following the murders, she said, she grew closer to the Bacon brothers, who had merged with mostly

Asian gang a couple of years earlier. K.M. said she and Haevischer went to Mexico with Jamie and Jonathan Bacon, nowdeceased gangster Kevin LeClair, and several other RS gang members in December 2007. Infighting between members got worse after the murders, she said. “Slowly, everything sort of fell apart,” said K.M. Haevischer and Johnston are on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver in connection with the murders of Corey Lal, Michael Lal, Ryan Bartolomeo,

Edward Narong, Christopher Mohan and Edward Schellenberg in suite 1505 of the Balmoral Tower. While the Lals, Bartolomeo and Narong are alleged to have drug ties, Schellenberg was a gas fitter working on fireplaces in the building, while Mohan lived in a neighbouring suite. Michael Le was also on trial, but pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder last week. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 17. The Crown alleges Haevischer, Johnston and Person X went to the Balmoral to kill Corey Lal over a drug turf dispute, but ended up shooting the other men so there would be no witnesses. Jamie Bacon and Sophon Sek are also charged, but will be tried separately at a later date. Another man pleaded guilty in the case several years ago. Cross examination of K.M. is expected to begin tomorrow (Friday).

New Bridgeview traffic trapping residents The cost I LIVE IN BRIDGEVIEW, and I have been here

eight years. I would like to comment on the traffic on Bridgeview Drive. Since the Port Mann got tolled, the traffic has tripled. It is a nightmare getting out of the area. From 128 Street to go onto Bridgeview Drive, if you are not aggressive you could wait 20 minutes before anyone lets you go.

There is a stop sign on 128 Street so we have to wait for someone to let us in. Everyone is in such a hurry they block the intersection so you can not get away. I would like to ask drivers not to block the intersection – we need to leave the area too. Don’t be in such a hurry. We all get where we have to go. The city had a sign up asking motorists not

to block the intersection, but it was taken down for some reason. Maybe it should go back up. The city also took the light out on 115 Avenue and Bridgeview Drive and that is also a nightmare. That light should have never been taken out. Ruth Reiter, Surrey

How much power to the people? RE: BC HYDRO rate hike.

I predicted this rate hike when I heard we were having the smart meters installed and that the public would probably have to pay for them. I have a question for Hydro: How much does an individual meter cost and what is the charge for putting one in? Because I would rather pay for my own and the cost for its installation. For some reason, Hydro thinks that an $8-per-month hike won’t hurt us, but it’s almost $100 a year and I am not happy about that. Just because they are always coming out ahead every year, doesn’t mean we are. I keep praying that some very wealthy corporation will step in and give BC Hydro a run for their money. Some healthy competition would be great, because with BC Hydro having the monopoly on electricity, it keeps the public in their pocket. We are at the mercy of companies like Hydro and ICBC and they like it that way because these are two expenditures that we the public require. You can’t fight these companies, I tried that and got nowhere, only to be rudely threatened with disconnection. BC Hydro knows that they have

Electric cars are Seal the deal: Drop furs catching up NOW THAT THE World Trade Organiza-

OVER THE LAST two decades, I’ve heard so much talk about utilizing the cleanest of renewable sources of energy, all the while solar energy – the cleanest, most potent and least finite – has essentially been wasted. The best example of such collective head-in-sand mentality is that of the virtual monopoly of vehicular propulsion energy – i.e. fossil fuel mass extraction, consumption and pollution. As a teenager, I swallowed the convenient excuse for suppressing a transition to the mass production of electric cars, one con argument being that it’s too inefficient because its 0-60 m.p.h. pull-away power and torque capability is incompatible to the petroleum-powered car. Well, some things have changed since then. The latest electric car technology has it making the 0-60 m.p.h. run in better time than that of a fossil fuel-powered car of the same weight plus aerodynamic and tire quality. As for the many other non-vehicular dependents of fossil fuel, such as the containers in which lubricants are packaged, they would have to be flatly denied veto power over such a progressive, profound transition to solar energy dependence.

tion (WTO) has ruled that the European Union can legally ban the import of seal fur and other products because of “moral concerns,” it’s time for Canadian officials to stop squandering millions in taxpayer money trying to defend the dying seal slaughter and instead pursue a buyout. The majority of Canadians oppose the cruel slaughter – which is the largest massacre of marine mammals on Earth

— and since there are now no remaining markets for seal fur, the WTO’s ruling could be the final nail in the sealing industry’s coffin. In the past, officials have turned a blind eye to seals’ immense suffering, but at some point they must acknowledge the damage that continuing the seal slaughter is doing to Canada’s economy and reputation.

MY 90-YEAR-OLD mother was sent

a taxi by HandyDart due to lack of buses. She is recovering from an acute vertebrae fracture. The “trained” taxi driver struggled to get her scooter into the bus then drove away without securing the chair or putting a seatbelt on her. The average number of years of service for a HandyDart driver is 11. HandyDart drivers are given intensive training that has evolved over 30 years; they are also held accountable to professional standards. It is unconscionable to argue that vulnerable people like my mom deserve anything less than safe affordable public transportation. Neither TransLink nor taxi advocates in the disabled community should be criticized for looking for efficiencies. Reducing HandyDart service hours despite skyrocketing demand is myopic and solves nothing. The high turnover in the taxi industry makes adequate training hard to sustain. The financial reality of driving taxi makes it hard for drivers to take extra time to safely help frail people to and from their homes. The use of taxis comes at a human cost. Taxi trips may be cheaper in Vancouver city when trips are short, but anyone who has taken a taxi outside of Vancouver knows how quickly the meter runs up. The provincial government continues to announce mega projects and subsidizes corporations by giving them one half of the carbon tax. TransLink is being forced to fund financial black holes. Meanwhile taxpayers are being told that they should swallow inadequate transit solutions that hurt seniors and disabled people. TransLink and taxi advocates should walk hand in hand to fight for a better, safer transit system rather than bicker over Christy Clark’s table scraps. Meanwhile after years of safe HandyDart rides, my mom lives in fear of injury in a taxi.

Driving: Public forums on now From page 1 Just 25 per cent of women said highway speed limits should be raised (65 per cent said they should stay the same), while 50 per cent of men were in favour of higher limits. Among respondents aged 55 and up, 31 per cent supported higher limits, while twice as many – 62 per cent – said they shouldn’t change. A third of men supported bringing back photo radar, while that jumped to 43 per cent among women and 48 per cent among those 55

and over – more than the 46 per cent in that age group who oppose its return. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said the support for photo radar may be less about bringing back what many considered an unfair cash grab and more a reflection of frustration that other drivers break the law without being punished. He said the results on speed limit reform show significant support for change, but added the gender gap was a surprise. “Half of men driv-

But they’re only supported by one in four women.” Canseco said it appears those in favour of higher speed limits have so far been “a little bit louder” in rallying support than those worried about change. But he suggested a measured, careful approach by the government to lift limits on selected routes may win yet majority support. Transportation Minister Todd Stone kicked off a public review of B.C. rural highway speed limits last Friday with a series of eight public forums until Jan. 24.

For details of the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review or to register your comment, see http://engage.gov.bc.ca/ safetyandspeedreview. Stone has indicated the government may be prepared to raise speed limits on some rural highways, which are now mostly posted at 100 km/h, except for the 110 k/mh limit on the Coquihalla and parts of the Okanagan Connector. Stone said research has shown the biggest danger are vehicles that are driving much faster or slower than the prevailing speed on the route. “It’s not speed in and of itself which kills. It’s variations in speed,” he said.

Sedrick Dang

a public officer and accepting a bribe as a public officer. He was sentenced Monday (Dec. 2) in Surrey Provincial Court. At his sentencing hearing last month, the court heard that Dang worked at the Surrey jail for about 18 months prior to his arrest. A joint sentencing submission presented by Crown prosecutor Alisia Adams and defence lawyer Raj Basra said there were several United Nations (UN) gang members in the Surrey jail during the time Dang was accused of his crimes. It was a search of one of the gang member’s cells in September 2012 that triggered the investigation of Dang. The first search revealed a hole cut into a desk, with 200-plus pills inside, as well as a syringe and vials of steroids. Searches of two other prison cells found more capsules and pills – mainly oxycodone and Percocet – a USB stick containing pornography, knives, screwdrivers, cellphones, marijuana, and wrapped packages of a white substance. Some of the items were found hidden behind electrical outlets. Dang was charged after undercover officers posed as UN gang affiliates to see if he’d accept bribes. The faux gangsters said they’d pay Dang $2,000 to bring a cellphone, charger and battery into the prison. Dang agreed and was arrested Nov. 14, 2012 at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre with the phone and other items in a clear bag in his pocket.

Science academy secures university credit courses Fraser Heights Secondary teams up with SFU by Greg Laychak THIS COMING year,

Fraser Heights Secondary School faculty are tweaking their curriculum formula in the chemistry lab. The new integrated math and science academy that got underway in September has secured SFU Surrey’s university level chemistry courses and laboratories as part of its course work. Designed to give students a head start in post-secondary science education, the pioneering program is up and running with its first group of 50 students. “They’re doing very well and they’re finding it very challenging,” said James Ahn, coordinator of the academy. “I think they are quickly adjusting to our standards and I think they knew coming in that it would be a lot of work.” The calculus teacher at Fraser Heights added that getting SFU on board was a big hurdle to overcome, as the Advanced Placement (AP) courses give textbook knowledge but don’t offer students lab

experience. He’s also hoping the addition of university credits will be a major draw for future students. “We are trying to promote it so that kids from outside of our school might show some interest and might come and be part of the program,” said Ahn. The academy is open to any students in Surrey starting Grade 11 next year. Ahn said the majority of attendees at a recent parent meeting were mostly from other schools. Those who are accepted must be willing to switch to Fraser Heights Secondary and dedicate half of their class time to the program. It’s time well spent, according to current academy student, Angus Lin. “I think if you take into consideration how much more comfortable you’ll be once you go into post-secondary education... I think it’s actually a really good opportunity,” said the 16-year-old. “The more work you put into it now, the easier it will be once you get into university.”

With a student-led approach and a requirement to complete a mini-thesis on the agenda, ambitious high schoolers in the program will find plenty to keep them busy. And the payoff should be big, said Ahn, citing the approximate $4,000 value of the course. That figure is based on the cost of the

eight transferable SFU university credits and the equivalent postsecondary value of the AP coursework students will complete. Applications for the integrated math and science academy are ongoing and close Dec. 12. For more information, visit fhtsscienceacademy. ca

Temperatures have dipped below zero on recent nights, and the cold snap isn’t expected to lift for several more days.

“It’s been cold for a long stretch here.” Peter Fedos On Tuesday night there were 70 beds available to the homeless, but it just wasn’t enough. “It’s been cold for a long stretch here, we’re looking at two weeks,” Fedos said. “Last night I heard we were full, so I’m opening up some more space.” Despite the large number of people showing up at the shelters, Fedos still believes there are more out there. “The ones that know how to hunker down and they’re prepared and have done it, we’re probably never going to see them,” Fedos said. “But it’s cold, it’s miserable, the longer it goes, the more that we’ll see.” There are 15 additional beds available in Surrey, and more can be found with a bit of ingenuity, Fedos said. He anticipates staying open until at least Dec. 15. People looking to help can donate items such as socks, underwear, gloves, toques, coats and hot packs for shoes or gloves. The shelters can be found at: • Cloverdale Christian Fellowship, #10217802 66 Ave. • KEYS Housing and Health Solutions, 10697 135A St. • Surrey Urban Mission Society, 10776 King George Blvd. • First United Church (White Rock), 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.

Regional directors tussle over oil pipeline response Kinder Morgan set to apply for Trans Mountain twinning by Jeff Nagel WITH KINDER Morgan

Canada poised this month to unveil its application to twin the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, Metro Vancouver politicians are scrambling to decide how to respond. The Metro board voted Nov. 29 to begin its own preliminary analysis of the $5.4-billion project so the regional district can raise tough questions when the National Energy Board (NEB) begins formal hearings in 2014. But there’s a wide spectrum of thinking on the board, from mayors who have already come out against the new pipeline that will triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day to those who prefer a wait-and-see stance to press the company for better safety measures. “This isn’t about bargaining, this is about

saying ‘no’ to something that we know is going to be disastrous for our communities in the long run,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said Friday. “I do not want to leave this as my

legacy as a politician.” Metro’s board had been expected to endorse concerns raised by Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who has exchanged letters with Kinder Morgan officials

for the past year in an attempt to probe their plans and seek improvements. But, at Corrigan’s urging, directors voted to See FEARS / Page 20

Fears: Pipeline rupture, spills From page 19 defer that endorsement pending more study. “I don’t want to be in a position where the National Energy Board says ‘Well, Metro says it’s okay as long as we do whatever Belcarra has indicated are the appropriate measures,’” Corrigan said. Councils in Vancouver and Burnaby

already oppose the project and Drew said their strategy of refusing to talk directly to Kinder Morgan is a mistake. He fears a pipeline rupture spilling into Burrard Inlet and has argued for faster spill response assurances, potentially by pre-staging booms and other necessary equipment near the Burnaby terminal to quickly contain

North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton noted oil has been shipped through the harbour for a century, albeit in much smaller quantities. “There have always been risks,” he said. “There are risks now and, regardless of whether or not the Kinder Morgan project goes ahead, there will

be risks in the future.” Walton said the planned seven-fold increase in tanker traffic could actually result in less risk to the environment than posed by the current shipments if regulations tighten and Kinder Morgan and other responders are compelled to improve pipeline monitoring and cleanup capability. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves fears opposition to shipments through Burrard Inlet may prompt Kinder Morgan to switch to an alternate terminal in the Fraser River estuary that would risk a catastrophic spill. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said a defeat of the project as currently proposed might bring other risks, such as a proliferation of oil-carrying rail cars rolling through local cities as oil moves by rail instead. “If a pipeline doesn’t get built, I can probably foresee our rail yard – Port Coquitlam has the biggest rail yard in B.C. and the second biggest in Western Canada – will become a mobile pipeline.”

n Saturday, November 30th, 2013 at 07:17 p.m. PST the Santa Clarita Valley Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s department posted the following: Sheriff ’s deputies … responded to a report of a traffic collision at approximately 3:30PM in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop, Valencia, on Saturday, November 30, 2013. When they arrived, deputies found the vehicle engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles County Fire Department responded, extinguished the fire and subsequently located two victims inside the vehicle. The victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the collision is under investigation by traffic investigators with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff ’s Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department. The Office of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner will determine the identities and the cause of death of the victims. But unofficial identification followed quickly in media reports. The passenger was Paul Walker, 40, reported to be an actor in a street racing action movie series called The Fast and the Furious. The driver was Mr. Walker’s friend and financial advisor, Roger Rodas, 38, a Pirelli World Challenge race car driver who owned Always Evolving, an auto dealership and racing services company. The two friends were in a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT that burst into flames after crashing into a tree and a utility pole supporting a speed limit sign of 45 mph. Autoweek magazine reported the following

day that the very pricey car is “notoriously difficult … to handle, even for professional drivers” and that a top driver called the car with its V-10, 610-hp engine “scary.” Mr. Walker’s official Facebook page said that he had been at a fundraiser for victims of the recent typhoon in the Philippines hosted by Reach Out Worldwide, the charity he founded in 2010 to aid victims of natural disasters. One aftermath witness to the crash, Jim Torp, was quoted as saying “Walker and Rodas planned a quick ride.” Reportedly, the last words Mr. Walker said to anybody were, “Hey, I’ll be back in five minutes. All right?” Mr. Torp said he heard the loud sound of a car’s engine revving and then an explosion. The Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department said that, “Speed was a factor … [but] how fast the car was going had not [yet] been established.” Photographs and videos show a heap of charred pieces of metal and glass piled on and extruding from a red shell resting on turned, bent wheels. Fragments were scattered along the boulevard. The crash aftermath was soon eclipsed by the makeshift memorial nearby—an ever-growing mound of flowers, candles, and hand-lettered messages watched over by grief-stricken co-stars and friends. Paul William Walker IV, born September 12, 1973, in Glendale, CA, began acting in his childhood in commercials and moved on to roles in numerous TV series and movies. His breakthrough to stardom came as undercover police officer, Brian O’Conner, infiltrating a street-racing gang in 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, now into its upcoming seventh sequel. In real life, Paul Walker liked to go fast in cars, reportedly saying he had managed to reach speeds of 197 mph and was aiming to break 200. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Vancouver household will pay an estimated $423 in regional district-levied utility fees and property taxes in 2014. That’s an increase of $5 or 1.2 per cent from this year, according to Metro. The overall Metro budget is up $7.8 million to $647.1 million. Metro will spend $189 million on drinking water system upgrades and repairs, $85 million on the sewage infrastructure, and nearly $18 million on waste-related capital upgrades, including the garbage incinerator in Burnaby. Metro’s garbage tipping fee is also going up $1 in January to $108 per tonne. Water and sewage operations and projects together account for more than two-thirds of Metro spending. Sixteen per cent goes for garbage and recycling, 10 per cent goes to regional district functions like regional parks, planning and administration, and six per cent goes to Metro’s housing corporation that runs affordable housing complexes.

are launching a new campaign to warn gay and bisexual men of a major jump in syphilis infections in the Lower Mainland. There were 371 cases of the sexually transmitted disease reported in B.C. in 2012 – the highest level seen in 30 years. “Syphilis rates are at epidemic proportions in the Lower Mainland,” said Dr. Réka Gustafson, a medical health officer for Vancouver Coastal Health. The highly contagious disease can be spread through any sexual activity, but Gustafson said most of the cases being seen are in gay or bisexual men. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to permanent blindness, hearing loss and neurological problems, all of

which can happen early or late in the course of infection. Severe cases can be fatal. The campaign, with a website at checkhimout. ca/syphilis, urges regular testing, healthier choices and symptom awareness.

No flu shot? Mask up VISITORS TO hospitals,

long-term care homes or other health facilities who haven’t had the flu shot will be expected to wear a mask effective Dec. 2. The health ministry directive says the new policy is to protect those most vulnerable during influenza season. Visitor compliance will rely on the honour system and masks will be issued free of charge to people who aren’t vaccinated. The flu vaccine is free to anyone planning to visit patients in a health care facility or take family members to outpatient appointment, in addition to other high-risk groups who are offered free shots.

River dredging a concern METRO VANCOUVER’S

board is concerned that future dredging on the lower Fraser River to accommodate increased shipping might trigger costly water infrastructure repairs. The region has six water tunnels that cross the Fraser to deliver drinking water to areas like Surrey and Langley and the latest tunnel being built to modern seismic standards is costing $250 million. Directors say they don’t want to see regional taxpayers forced to pay again for such projects if Port Metro Vancouver pursues dredging of the channel after the Massey Tunnel is replaced with a promised high-level bridge. “If we had to look at six replacements, there’s a really big price tag with that,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. “It’s definitely on the radar – we’re concerned about that.”

Getting into the holiday spirit at Portrait’s Silver Ridge

By Kerry Vital

On Monday Dec. 16, the homeowners at Portrait Homes’ Silver Ridge community will demonstrate their Christmas spirit with a decorating contest. “This is our fourth annual display contest,” says Robert Grimm, principal at Portrait Homes. “We started the event to

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

encourage homeowners to get into the Christmas spirit.” Silver Ridge is located in Maple Ridge, and among the judges will be Mayor Ernie Daykin. He will be joined by members of the Portrait Homes management team, and prizes from local merchants, including Chameleon Cafe, Golden Ears Cheeseworks and the Maple Ridge Art Gallery, will be handed out to the first, second and third prize winners. “What triggered us to start this event was the effort some of our homeowners went through in decorating their homes and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to get more people into the

Christmas spirit?” asks Grimm. Homeowners are encouraged to use lights and other decor items to make a festive display. Decorating has already started, and anticipation is building as the 16th nears. Silver Ridge is a 105-acre master-planned community. The latest phase is Hampstead, a collection of four- and fivebedroom single-family homes. Portrait Homes has been the recipient of many awards for Silver Ridge, including 27 Gold Georgies. Among the awards is Best Residential Development in B.C. and Best Residential Community in Canada. Portrait itself has been the winner of the Customer Choice Awards for 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and Best Single Family Home Builder in British Columbia for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Among the gorgeous features you’ll ﬁnd at G3 are stainless-steel appliances, laminate hardwood ﬂooring and quartz countertops. The eating bar, above, is convenient for entertaining or a quick bite to eat, while the living areas, above right, and bedrooms, below right, are spacious and inviting.

Everything is in the details in homes at G3 in Surrey

By Kerry Vital

Three is a lucky number at G3, an exciting condominium development in Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood that features three buildings with a huge variety of floorplans that will definitely suit the needs of all discerning buyers. “The quality here is excellent,” says sales manager Margaret Bird. “It’s been especially appealing to first-time buyers.”

Announcing the RENO ME!

G3 offers studio to two-bedroom homes, with several floorplans available. One of the most impressive things about the development is the beautiful views from some of the homes. “From the north-facing homes you can see the (North Shore) mountains,” says Bird. “From the east-facing homes, you can see Mount Baker and that area. It’s gorgeous.” Some of the other beautiful features of the homes at G3 include stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and an eating bar; a convenient touch for those on-thego or who enjoy entertaining. Soft-closing cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware is perfectly lit by the ceiling mounted track lighting and pendant lights. Laminate hardwood flooring is featured throughout the living areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms and imported

porcelain tile in the kitchen, entry and bathrooms. The bathrooms are elegant and luxurious, with a deep soaker tub, semi-frameless glass shower and chic wall-mounted vanity light. Homeowners can still choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx, and will enjoy the nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floor) and convenient frontloading washer and dryers that come with every home. Oversized storage and parking is also included. “It’s a beautiful package,” Bird says. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things. G3’s location is one of the top draws for buyers. “You can walk to everything,” says Bird.

We’ve seen a huge draw from Fraser Heights with parents wanting their kids to live nearby. You’re within walking distance to so much.” Available homes at G3 start at $149,900 for a studio, $169,900 for a one-bedroom and $219,900 for a two-bedroom.

Zen a Winner with Buyers Buyers have always known that Zen in East Clayton is an exceptional development. And now it’s official.

Zen has just been nominated for a remarkable four awards in Canada’s most prestigious housing awards program,The Georgies. Every year the Canadian Homebuilders Association of British Columbia, celebrates excellence in homebuilding, design and marketing, and has recently named the finalists in a multitude of categories, Zen was chosen in four of them. Zen is a finalist for the best kitchen in a multi-family development. According to developer Zenterra, the kitchens at Zen represent the largest kitchens in a multi-family development in the Metro Vancouver area. Kitchens in the four bedroom townhomes measure a huge 16’x16’,

and include lots of highly sought after features like five burner gas cooktops, double wall ovens, quartz countertops with glass backsplash and custom shaker style cabinetry. Most units also feature a 4’x4’ island with an optional built in wine fridge. From the high quality 39oz carpet throughout the upper floors, to the 2” wide window blinds and the 9’ high ceilings, it’s evident from the moment you step in the door that it’s the attention to detail that makes the difference. The story doesn’t stop there, all the bathrooms at Zen feature quartz countertops, and under

cabinet lighting, while master bathrooms also include doublewide glass showers and a luxurious warming towel bar. A unique feature that always gets attention is the ‘Makeup Vanity’ that provides extra counter space for cosmetic and wellness items, plus an additional four electrical outlets. Because our West Coast lifestyle means we spend so much of our time outdoors, Zen is designed to make the most of it. The thoughtful landscaping includes open green spaces with walkways that are perfect for that after dinner stroll. With full natural gas barbeque hookups gives the chef in the family a chance to show off their culinary skills while friends and family relax on the oversized 8’x 20’ sundecks. Parking is easy too, with double, and tandem garages and lots of visitor parking for those memorable family gatherings. Other kinds of entertainment are catered for as well. The Zenterra

Signature Entertainment Wall features a custom Italian stone finished fireplace, and offers all the interconnectivity options that today’s buyers demand. Despite the feeling of tranquility that living at Zen provides, the location couldn’t be more convenient. With a few minutes drive there are literally hundreds of shopping options, from quaint sidewalk cafes to Willowbrook Mall and Costco. Zen is also a finalist in the Best Interior Design Display Suite (Single or Multi Family), Best Sales Centre and Best Project Identity categories. While the final Georgie winners will not be announced until the awards ceremony on February 1, 2014, Zen is a winner with buyers. Sales have been brisk and once you’ve checked it out, it’s easy to see why Zen has been selected as a Georgie finalist.

half of residents aged 55 (48 percent) would like to see photo radar coming back, support is decidedly lower among residents aged 18-to-34 (36 percent) and 35-to-54 (31 percent). I supported photo radar initially because when used in high-collision locations, elsewhere in the world, it has a remarkable record for reducing death and injuries. It never operated that way in BC and soon became public enemy number one where it was perceived as merely a cash cow for greedy provincial government. Residents were also asked about the quality of British Columbia’s roads and infrastructure. More than seven-in-

ten (74 percent) rate it as “good” (68 percent) or “very good” (6 percent), while only 22 per cent deem it “bad” (19 percent) or “very bad” (3 percent). Overall, only 16 percent of British Columbians believe that the province’s roads are “not too safe” or “not safe at all” for motorists, while four-in-five (82 percent) consider them “very safe” or “moderately safe.” This is the first of four surveys Insights West will conduct during the next year in partnership with Black Press. We hope these poll findings will find their way in the current speed limit and traffic safety review by the provincial government. This week in Driveway, our “Question of the Week” and “Drives-U-Crazy” spots focus on speed-related issues please participate online. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca About the survey: Results are based on an online study conducted from October 23 to October 27, 2013, among 838 British Columbians who are aged 18+ and are Your Insights panel members. YourInsights.ca is Insights West’s in-house access panel offering on-demand samples for both clients and research suppliers looking for Western Canadian populations. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age and gender. While statistical margins of error are arguably not applicable to online panels/online studies of this nature, we have assumed that the same margins of error apply as if it were a true unweighted random probability sample with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty. To view the detailed data tabulations go to www.insightswest.com

Question OF THE WEEK: Should the maximum speed limit on the highways be raised to 110 km/h and 120 km/h on the Coquihalla network?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: During the months of November and December there is an 86 per cent increase in crashes where a pedestrian is injured compared to July and August. Always be on the lookout for pedestrians – especially in dark, wet weather when visibility is limited, at intersections and near transit stops.

The Mercedes CLA 250 is here and it is a cause for celebration. This stylish compact car is powerful, filled with all kinds of features and starts at an amazing $33,900. What this means for the entire car market is a trend towards more car for less money. If Mercedes Benz can sell such a competent car for so little, the pressure will be on non-premium brands to sharpen their pencil, add more features, and revise their prices lower. Mercedes already has a very affordable hatchback with the B250, which arrived about a year ago and is the basis for this CLA. Both of these cars open up Mercedes Benz to a new market of buyers who might have been thinking about buying a non-premium brand but now realized a CLA is within reach. This, along with Mercedes strong resale value will help to keep lease rates low, amplifying the value this car offers. Looks Mercedes helped create the “coupe” 4-door sedan several years ago with the CLS sedan, which is based on the E-Class sedan. By dropping the roof, raking the front and rear windows and adding a more aggressive front end, produces an eye-catching sedan that looks classy and aggressive at the same time. Mercedes has taken this formula and applied it to the B-Class platform to produce this coupe-like sedan. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but the sport package is great value, at $1,600, which adds 18-inch AMG wheels and extra AMG exterior trim pieces. The AMG look is more aggressive, providing a bigger front air intake and chin spoiler to complete the look. (The car pictured here does not have the AMG package but does have the bigger wheels). The side windows are slim as is the back window for

limited outward visibility, not so much for the driver but the rear seat passengers, especially kids. Inside One trend I’m not sure I like is placing a screen in the centre of the dash, like putting an iPad Mini in the permanently placed in middle of the dash. It doesn’t look particularly polished, almost like an afterthought. Audi’s new A3 sedan, arriving in March, has the ability to lower their screen, which I think is a better approach. The dash has rotary air vents that look similar to the high end Mercedes SLS supercar. The front of the dash, in my test unit, was covered in an aluminum panel and surrounded by soft touch materials. The radio and heat controls are similar to other Mercedes products so even though this CLA isn’t uber-expensive, it looks like a proper Mercedes Benz. The premium package is a must because it includes a huge panoramic sunroof, backup camera, automatic climate control and heated front seats; all of this for $2,800. This is a small car; the roof feels very low and back seat passenger’s needs to be children or shorter adults. Rear seat outward visibility is limited and legroom is also at a premium. The better bet for families is the less expensive B-Class ($30,500) because it offers a bigger back seat and hatchback storage. Drive The launch event for this new CLA was held in the Washington DC area, leaving historic Georgetown and heading towards Maryland’s ports and navel academy. This provided some excellent stop-andgo traffic opportunities in Washington’s morning rush hour and then getting to stretch the new CLA’s continued on page 36

in the sportier mode. This car cruises effortlessly at highway speeds and passes with ease. Even though it uses the same engine as the B-Class, this car felt more planted and sophisticated, maybe due to the lower centre of gravity and a trunk, which will muffle road noise compared to the hatchback. All CLA models come with a Collision Prevention Assist feature that alerts the driver to the possibility of an impending collision. Verdict We are heading into a wonderful period of lower priced cars, or vehicle fitted with more standard features. This new CLA 250 is a perfect example of this. Other new entries include the latest A3 that arrives in March and starts at $31,100 and then the new BMW 1 Series will arrive in about a year. For the price of a wellequipped non-premium brand Canadians can now get a premium German sedan for about the same price. If I were to get this CLA 250, I would include the premium package to get the sunroof, backup camera and heated seats. The Sport package is also tempting for the bigger wheels. This would bring the price up to $38,300. Not cheap, but you do a get a lot of car and features for this price. I hear that BC’s Mercedes Benz dealers have had huge interest in this new CLA with back orders now in place as they try to get as many cars as they can. A nice problem for Mercedes to have and they derive it as this is a great car for the money.

Amateur speed cops

Self-appointed speed cops are danger to themselves and everybody else on the road. We’ve all seen them in action: they stick themselves in the centre lane at the speed limit and will not move over to let anybody pass. It promotes impatience and frustration which leads to smashes. Leave speed enforcement to the cops.

Alexandra car shops for herself for once The following three questions are probably what I’m asked most often when someone finds out about my line of work. What is my favourite car? What car would I buy if I had an unlimited amount of money? Do you watch Top Gear? I can’t really say what my favourite car is because there are many I love. Whether it’s a subcompact (Fiat 500 Turbo) to a supercar (Bentley Continental GT Speed Coupe), there are just so many good ones to choose

The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, allwheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain) and best of all, a diesel engine.

We had spent the better part of a road trip in an Acura MDX in 2013 but wanted to wait until 2014 for the all-new version to come out. After taking that for a spin, that was top three on the list. We also fancied the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. With all these great options, it was hard to narrow it down. But there was one that we had still not looked at. That was the 2014 VW Touareg TDI. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with it. As a VW owner, it’s

went to was the MercedesBenz dealership. The ML350 Bluetec was in a new generation and something we were interested in. However, with the options we wanted and a three month wait time, the price was out of our range and the wait was too long. Then we looked into the Mazda CX-9. Granted, it’s not a diesel but a classy car and one that’s nice to drive. Again, the Ford Explorer Sport was not diesel, but a strong contender. Though, the fuel economy wasn’t as stellar as we had hoped.

of a 2001 VW Cabrio. We imported it from Southern California and have put quite a few kilometres on it. But, we needed something that was bigger, had more trunk space, was preferably a diesel and could make it through the snow. So, the hunt began. It actually began in December of 2012. The better half and I went looking for an SUV. It didn’t matter if it had five or seven seats. We preferred a diesel but were not excluding gasoline options. The first place we

from. Let’s skip to question three. Yes, I do watch Top Gear and am thoroughly entertained by it. Any car lover would be. And who wouldn’t fall in love with the British accent? Addressing question number two: What car would I buy if I had an unlimited budget? Well, at this point in my life, that’s not the case. I have yet to win the lottery. But I can refine the question to, if I had to buy a vehicle for my family, what would it be? Currently, we’re the owners

something I should have thought about right away but for some reason didn’t. Regardless, testing it out fit everything we were looking for. The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, all-wheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain) and best of all, a diesel engine. I’m a huge supporter of alternatives to gaspowered vehicles, whether that’s diesel, electric or hybrids. It only seemed fitting to welcome this type of beautiful machine into our home. Upon recommendation from a colleague, we went to Gold Key VW in Langley where our sales rep, John Nielsen, was fabulous. Upon entry into the dealership, we knew exactly what we wanted. He joked with us that we were making his job very easy. We said we can make it difficult if he wanted! We didn’t. The whole process was anything but painful. In fact, it was very pleasant. It seemed as though the other clients of the dealership were also experiencing the same thing. And from what I’ve heard from readers who have emailed me about the car buying process, it is becoming more enjoyable for many people. I’m happy to hear that. With our new addition to the family and smiles on everyone’s faces, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve also driven almost 2,000 kilometres in the first two weeks of having the Touareg TDI at home and have only filled the tank twice. Even better! alexandra.straub@ driveway.bc.ca

In January, with extra lanes open west of the Port Mann Bridge and drivers able to save even more time, the low introductory rates will be replaced with regular toll rates.

New director of athletics at Kwantlen university proposes a move up

Eagles eying the CIS? by Rick Kupchuk

here is a new face at the forefront of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) athletics, and he is taking the program in a new direction. David Kent assumed the role last week as the university’s new director of athletics and recreation, and will lead a department of six varsity teams. All six currently compete in the Pacific Western Athletic Conference (PACWEST), but could soon be competing against major universities from across Western Canada as members of the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport). “The light at the end of the tunnel is the CIS,” said Kent, a Langley resident who brings more than two decades of experience in post-secondary sports to KPU. “The CIS is the highest level of amateur sports in Canada.” Moving up to the CIS level is what Kent suggested to administrators at Kwantlen, and was a big reason he decided to pursue the job. “Moving to the CIS was part of my proposal, a two-hour presentation I made during my interview,” he said. “I can’t see why we couldn’t be in the CIS eventually. We’d be a brilliant bridge between UVic and UBC (to the west) and Fraser Valley and Trinity Western (to the east).” While some David Kent regard the University of British Columbia (UBC) as the ultimate CIS model, with UBC Thunderbirds competing in basketball, soccer, track and field, men’s and women’s hockey as well as football, Kent isn’t suggesting KPU should have the same kind of profile. Like smaller CIS schools such as the University of Northern B.C. (UNBC), Trinity Western University and the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), Kwantlen could field teams in just soccer and basketball, and be successful in Canada West, one of four regional leagues under the CIS umbrella. “Basketball and soccer are the core sports played everywhere,” noted Kent. “And the soccer facility (at Newton Athletic Park) is already up to standard, it would be approved by the CIS in two minutes.” UBC is the only school in British Columbia which plays in the Canada West league in hockey and football. But it is one of seven which play men’s and women’s basketball, and among five B.C. teams playing soccer in Canada West. The Eagles already have soccer and basketball, with men’s and women’s teams in both sports playing in the PACWEST

The Eagles soccer teams may soon be playing at the CIS level. league. The women’s soccer team has appeared in three CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association) national championship tournaments, most recently at the 2013 event in Newton hosted by KPU. But playing in the CIS would be a completely different game. “CIS has a different mentality,” said Kent “It’s full-time coaches as opposed to part time. And the student/athlete is more dedicated to his or her sport.” He has plenty of experience working in athletics at the university level, having been employed at Concordia University, Carleton University and, most recently, the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades, where he focused primarily

on promoting student-athletes. He has spent 23 years in coaching, management and communications in post-secondary sports. Kent was head coach of the women’s soccer teams at both Carleton University and Montreal’s Dawson College before moving into administration. At Carleton, he raised more the $1.5 million for the university’s 19 sports team, and helped expand the athletic department from a staff of one to 40 part-time and full-time employees. He was also behind five successful bids to host national soccer championships at Carleton. While he has a couple of things to tend to, Kent will spend most of the next few

months meeting people and learning more about the university, its athletic department and his staff. “I’ll see how we’re competing, I’ll see how the coaches are doing and will meet with them,” he said. “We have good people in the department, and they will guide us through the rest of this year. “But we do want to ramp up the marketing and communication right away. And I would like to hire a communications officer by next year.” Contacting Canada West, where he was served on the marketing board, is also on the to-do list. “We’ll meet with Canada West before the end of the year,”, he said. “And we’ll play by their rules.”

Seahawks earn silver at home, Breakers win bronze Provincial volleyball tournaments take place at Seaquam, Pacific Academy high schools by Rick Kupchuk

earning a second-team selection. The Falcons

also had a pair of allstars, Beckey Garner on

the first team and Kiera VanRyk on the second.

TWO LOCAL high

schools hosted provincial volleyball championship tournaments last weekend, and each won a medal. The Seaquam Seahawks had a nearperfect run at the Senior AAA girls high school competition they hosted at the North Delta school, losing their only match in Saturday night’s championship game. Playing the Nanaimo Islanders, Seaquam lost a close, five-set match (25-22, 18-25, 16-25, 25-22, 21-19). The Seahawks cruised through the four-team Pool B, winning all three matches in straight sets. Their playoff run began Friday morning with a 3-0 sweep of the Rick Hansen Hurricanes, and continued that night with a 21-25, 25-22, 25-20, 25-13 win over Little Flower Academy. In the semifinal, against Point Grey, the Seahawks needed four sets (25-12, 25-20, 20-25, 25-20) to advance to the final. Tamara Clarke, Amy Davidson and Leah Martin of the Seahawks were selected to the tournament’s first all-star team. The Clayton Heights Nightriders were also at the provincial tournament at Seaquam Secondary, placing 12th. The Pacific Academy Breakers were the hosts for the Senior AA girls championship, and edged the Surrey Christian Falcons in the bronze medal match. The Breakers swept their three matches in pool play, finishing first in Pool C. They won twice in the playoffs Friday, defeating Hatzic (16-25, 25-11, 25-17, 25-14) and Elphinstone (25-23, 25-22, 25-15). Surrey Christian got off to a slower start, as they lost twice in straight sets and won a three-set match to place third in Pool B. They also won twice Friday, topping Cedar (25-11, 25-18, 19-25, 25-21) and Kalamalka (17-25, 26-24, 25-22, 25-14). In the semifinal round Saturday morning, Pacific Academy fell to Langley Funda-

second intermission. In the third period, Bradley scored his second of the game then assisted on a goal from Koch. Newsome again earned a pair of assists. Valley West is at home again next weekend, hosting the 8-11-1 Cariboo Cougars. Games times at 12:15 p.m. Saturday and 9:15 a.m. Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex.

THE VALLEY West

Hawks closed out the first half of the BC Hockey Major Midget schedule with a sweep of the North Island Silvertips last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. The Hawks doubled North Island 6-3 Saturday morning, then posted a 5-2 victory Sunday morning, completing the first 20 games of the season with a 14-6-0 wonlost-tied record. In third place in the 11-team provincial league, the Valley West team is five points back of both the Okanagan Rockets and Vancouver Giants (16-3-1) and almost 10 points clear of the two fourth-place teams. The Hawks led for all but 19 seconds of Saturday’s game. That’s how long it took for Cloverdale’s Jordan Funk to give the home side an early lead, one which became 2-0 on a goal from David Koch of White Rock four minutes later. Devante Stephens of White Rock, and Surrey’s Paul Savage and Justin Wilde added second period goals for Valley West. Paul Smith of White Rock tallied in the third to complete the scoring. Stephens, Mitch Newsome (Surrey), Jesse Lansdell (Langley) and Matt Bradley (Surrey) each collected a pair of assists. In Sunday’s game, Trevor Ayre of Surrey gave Valley West their first lead seven minutes into the game, but before the first period was over the Silvertips had pulled even. A half-minute into the second period, Bradley made it 2-1
