Surrey councillor says mayors’ presentation should have been previewed by transportation committee
City staff ‘dropped the ball’ over rail: Gill Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The idea of track relocation in South Surrey and White Rock went off the rails with a public presentation on Nov. 26 – at least as far as the head of Surrey’s transportation advisory committee is concerned. Coun. Tom Gill said he feels city staff “dropped the ball” in promoting the ‘Rails To Trails’ plan to the public at the forum
– which included presentations from both Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin – without first running it past the transportation committee. Public excitement anticipating relocation of the route, expressed by many since then, has been tempered by skepticism and negative comments from others who are critical of pushing perceived safety and noise concerns onto other neighbourhoods inland.
Gill told Peace Arch News Monday that while discussion of topics such as rail relocation from the current BNSF waterfront route in both communities to alternate alignments inland will always be welcome at the committee, the safety of existing routes must always be the primary focus. And, he confirmed, the committee has no current plans to pursue funding options for relocation of the main line.
Four proposed relocation routes were presented at the packed open house, at which Gill acted as master of ceremonies, with Watts and Baldwin as the only scheduled speakers. Gill said he was asked “at the last minute” to attend the event and act as MC – and participated “given that the meeting was set” – but that his transportation committee “should have had a full presentation” first. i see page 2

Police are appealing to gang members’ softer side, in a new campaign that will release new posters and video every four months for two years.
Campaign focuses on loved ones left behind by violent crime
Gang squad tugs paternal heartstrings Jeff Nagel Black Press
In a bid to shatter B.C.’s gang culture, police are targeting what they think is the soft underbelly of hardened gangsters – their guilt at the anguish they may cause loved ones if they die. Posters, videos and radio messages released Wednesday depict grieving children at the graves of gunned-down gangsters, including a tiny blonde girl leaving behind a card that says
“I miss you Daddy.” It ends with the tag line “Wouldn’t you rather she look up to you?” One video shows a girl sitting on a swing above a covered corpse. The campaign dubbed End Gang Life, complete with a website at www.endganglife.ca, is the latest brainchild of Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C.

Officers with the anti-gang unit say violent criminals have no fear of jail nor often their own death, but may be swayed at the thought of causing pain to those they love. A quarter of gang-related murder victims in the past eight years were parents, Houghton said. “No child should have to grow up without their parents because of gangs and organized crime.” i see page 2
A former City of Surrey planner was under a great deal of pressure and failed to submit funds to the city in a moment of poor decision, his lawyer said last week. At his sentencing hearing Friday, Akonyu Akolo’s defence lawyer, Jennifer Currie, described how her client was rushing off to Uganda to see his sister who was dying of AIDS. In his hurry, Akonyu Akolo he neglected former staffer to submit $65,000 in cheques to the city for a builder’s development cost charges. Currie painted the elaborate scheme that followed as the act of a man who was afraid for his job and was trying to avoid getting caught. “In dealing with this developer, he was focused on getting back to his sister in Uganda,” Currie said. Judge Michael Hicks wasn’t entirely convinced of the spontaneous nature of the crime. “There’s more to this than a single act of bad judgment isn’t there?” i see page 2

Planner initially denied guilt i from page 1 the judge asked. “There’s a series of events – it extends over a period of time.” Currie acknowledged that but also pointed out there have been a significant amount of punishing factors affecting Akolo already. “He lost his career in a very public way,” she said. “His family has suffered the same negative impact.” Both Crown and defence lawyers requested jail time for Akolo, ranging from three to 15 months for breach of trust by a public officer. Akolo – who pleaded guilty to the charge in September – is to be sentenced Jan. 17. Crown prosecutor Kevin Marks is asking the court to sentence Akolo to 15 months of incarceration. Currie asked for three to four months of jail time. While a sentence of nine to 12 months of community service was an option, Currie said the defendant needs to work and provide for his family and the longer sentence would keep Akolo from doing so. Akolo, who was fired in 2010, was crimi-
nally charged in 2011 after a lengthy police investigation. He originally faced five charges – bribing an agent, corrupt municipal official, breach of trust by a public officer, giving false account to deceive principal and fraudulent concealment. Akolo was in charge of area planning and development for South Surrey. He had worked for the city for 17 years. A developer whom he approached reported him to the city and to the police in April 2010. The court heard that Akolo offered to take $30,000 for what he called “professional consulting services” from the developer, in exchange for not cashing cheques worth $65,000 in fees to the city. Currie said Akolo claimed he had forgotten about the cheques and didn’t deposit them after the development was approved because he feared for his job if his mistake was noticed. During their investigation, police found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the developer or any other Surrey staffers.
Ex-gangsters add to message i from page 1 It’s no coincidence the campaign is rolling out before Christmas. “We know that families and friends gather during this season,” said Chief Supt. Dan Malo. “We hope that this campaign will spark some conversations between families, between friends, between siblings – people pulling towards this lifestyle.” Malo said CFSEU officers have underscored the message by visiting known prolific violent gangsters last week to warn them that they will be relentlessly targeted by police until they leave the gang life. Academics, other experts and ex-gang members helped devise the messages.
Malo said the campaign is not a response to the record number of murders in Surrey – 23 so far this year. He didn’t have statistics on gang-related homicides across the Lower Mainland, but said gang violence is “heading towards historical lows” compared to the spike in 2007-’08. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said she doesn’t read too much into Surrey’s jump in murders or focus on city-by-city statistics. “It could be Surrey one year and another place the next,” she said, adding the issue has to be considered regionally. “The crime rate is at a historic low.” The CFSEU plans to roll out new posters and other media every four months over two years.

Health impact of coal trains to City of White Rock not yet assessed
‘No useful information’ in coal analysis Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
An environmental-impact assessment on Fraser Surrey Docks’ proposed direct-transfer coal facility offers nothing to ease concerns in White Rock, a report by the city’s director of engineering states. As a result, Greg St. Louis is recommending council ask for trackside air-quality monitoring in White Rock and modelling of the exposure to coal dust and particulate from the border to FSD be done prior to any decision on the proposed facility. “The EIA does not provide any useful information on the environmental impacts of transporting coal through the City of White Rock,” St. Louis concludes.
“It specifically excludes all rail transportation from the coal mine to FSD. However, based on the number of train movements projected to pass through White Rock there will be an increase in diesel emissions from locomotives and coal dust. Since the EIA failed to look at this, there is not enough information provided to determine the extent of potential health impact to the residents.” Council was to consider St. Louis’s recommendations – which include authorizing the mayor to write Port Metro Vancouver outlining the city’s continued concerns with the project – Monday night, after Peace Arch News’ press deadline. They were also to hear from FSD president and chief executive officer Jeff Scott.
The port has final say on FSD’s application to build a $15-million direct-transfer coal facility at 11060 Elevator Rd., and officials have indicated a decision could come soon after today’s deadline for public comments. If the facility is approved, it would handle two million metric tonnes of coal in its first year of operation. According to St. Louis’s report, that will grow to four million tonnes annually thereafter – increasing the potential volume of trains travelling through White Rock to 320 in year one and 640 after that. Each train would be approximately 7,000 feet long, and consist of 125-135 cars plus four engines, he adds. While the port-ordered EIA concluded the terminal won’t harm human health or
the environment, St. Louis notes data cited regarding coal dust and particulate is outdated and does not consider the trains’ proximity to pedestrians on the city’s promenade. Concerns with diesel emissions, increased train noise and vibration and the potential impact to environment also remain. “The report does not address the immediate concerns of the residents of the City of White Rock,” St. Louis writes. Last month, the Lower Mainland’s chief medical health officers also denounced the findings as inadequate. Drs. Patricia Daly and Paul Van Buynder said concerns include a reliance on dated studies, and a focus on impacts near the terminal area rather than the BNSF rail corridor.
North Shore consulted
White Rock man missing Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
White Rock RCMP are asking the public for help locating a local resident who was last seen early Thursday. Const. Shaileshni Molison said Hai Tao (David) Liu, 43, was reported missing that day by his wife, and the investigation so far has police believing he may be on the North Shore. That’s where police have determined his bank card was last used, Molison said. The failure to return home or make contact is “completely out of character” for Hai Tao (David) Liu Liu and raises missing concerns for his well-being, Molison said. “Our concern is for his safety. We’re not sure what’s up, we’re wanting to make sure he’s OK.” Molison said the five-foot-10, 155-pound Liu left home around 6:30 a.m. Dec. 12 to take public transit. She did not know what his planned route was or where Liu was heading, but did say he is known to enjoy the mountains. He was wearing a green jacket, blue jeans and yellow-and-white runners. Investigators are liaising with North Shore police on the file, and are looking into “everything we can” for clues to Liu’s whereabouts, Molison said. Foul play is not suspected. Anyone who may have seen Liu or with information on his location is asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-8477), or contact Molison at 778-5933600. Reference file #2013-5928.

‘Terrible precedent’ to bring tankers to Fraser River, opponents say
Jet-fuel pipeline to replace trucks Jeff Nagel Black Press
The province has given the green light to a controversial jet-fuel pipeline that will be built across Richmond and bring tankers into the mouth of the Fraser River. Environment Minister Mary Polak said last week a conditional environmental-assessment certificate for the project had been issued to the proponent, the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corp., after B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office concluded there will be no significant adverse impacts. Friday, a citizens’ group said the decision to allow jet-fuel tankers on the Fraser River sets a “terrible precedent” for the future of the world’s largest salmon river and its estuary. The projects includes a marine terminal and storage facility on the South Arm of the Fraser River near Riverport and a 13-km underground pipeline to Vancouver International Airport. Polak said Thursday that the expected growth in jet-fuel tanker trucks travelling the roads through South Surrey to Richmond was a “significant concern” and one of the reasons the new pipeline to the airport will be built. “Currently, there are about 30 trucks per day that travel roads with commuters over the Alex Fraser Bridge taking this fuel to YVR,” she told reporters. “It’s estimated in the next

THREE-SOME DAYS Cameras curbing crime: city AT POTTERS Works-yard surveillance helping to decrease illegal dumping
Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Signage at city’s works yard advises of cameras. bage, pieces of steel and unwanted appliances. “The problem was really out of hand, you couldn’t even bring your vehicle in the parking lot,” he said. “Every morning basically, especially after a weekend… we would have crews out there cleaning it up.” Along with the cameras, “a whole bunch” of signage was erected, Slack said. It advises that dumping is not allowed and that the area is under surveillance. The efforts have not deterred everyone. Slack estimated more than a dozen offenders have received $500 fines – including a retired RCMP officer. “He phoned me and I said, ‘didn’t you see the sign?’ He said, ‘yeah, I saw the sign, I’m guilty’,” Slack said. Another person was fined after being caught on camera twice the same day. Slack said he has heard the gamut of excuses from those handed fines but said warnings are no longer on the table. Repeat offenders will see their fines climb to $1,000 for a second
offence and $2,000 for a third. Slack noted that much of what is being dumped can be taken legally to various facili-

Surveillance cameras installed at White Rock’s works yard are starting to pay off in terms of curbing incidences of illegal dumping. “The garbage is certainly on the decrease,” Paul Slack, the city’s operations manager, said last week. “The ones that we can fine, we have.” The cameras were installed outside the Keil Street facility last spring at a cost of about $13,000. In addition to capturing licence-plate numbers of offenders, they have facial-recognition capability. The decision to install them followed discussion last fall – at the urging of Coun. Al Campbell – around the use of such cameras along the city’s waterfront. While city staff determined that particular use could not be justified at the time, the suggestion was made that they could help at the works yard. Campbell last week, during discussion of escalating policing costs, maintained the cameras are a cost-effective crime-solving tactic. Tuesday, Slack estimated illegal dumping was costing the city “a couple grand” every month, in manpower to clean it up and dumping fees associated with the discarded items – which have included mattresses, bags of gar-
ties, and erecting signage advising of those options is the next step. For one councillor, the positive results bode well for expanding the city’s use of surveillance cameras in the future. “If it’s working well there, then maybe there’s possibility for other areas,” Coun. Grant Meyer said. “Maybe nothing for the waterfront for now, but maybe like everything, it has to be revisited in a few years.”

Fires serve as tragic reminder
T
he tragic deaths of two women in two recent Langley house fires once again underscores the need for all of us across the region to exercise extreme caution during the winter months. Although no definite cause has been determined in either case, in the first fire, which happened in a fourplex Nov. 28, appears to have been started by either a space-heater or a power-bar failure. In the second instance, firefighters said that while they don’t know whether the home had a working smoke detector, they did not hear an alarm going off in the house when they arrived. In both cases, an individual lost her life, and this holiday season is going to be a tremendously difficult one for the family and friends they have left behind. Of course, tragedy can never be completely avoided, and we may never know whether these deaths could have been prevented, but there are steps we all can, and should, take to minimize the risk of yet another fatality or serious injury. Whether it’s space-heaters, fireplaces or candles, sources of heat are in use in many homes during the colder months, as residents look to complement use of their furnace in colder homes, or – in an effort to keep the heating bills low – avoid using the furnace as much altogether. And while such options are quick to keep us warm, they are also potential sources of danger if not handled with the level of care and respect they’re due. Fireplaces – whether gas or wood-burning – require regular, professional maintenance to ensure they are in proper and safe working order. Space-heaters, meanwhile, should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet, never into a power bar. There should also be a minimum three feet of space between the heater and any combustible materials. Every home should, of course, have at the very minimum at least one working smoke detector – ideally, one in every area of the house where people sleep – with fresh batteries installed each autumn. And burning candles – which many people love to place throughout their homes at Christmastime – should never be left to burn unattended. This is simple advice and we hear it all the time, but in the wake of such tragedy, perhaps it bears repeating.

PCC: The big idea that she’s trying to pursue with that is a strategy that will connect us east to west in energy. Energy grids are much better connected north to south than they are east to west. So she’s trying to pursue a panCanadian strategy for the exchange of energy, whether that’s hydroelectricity or natural gas or whatever it is. We haven’t been intimately involved with it until recently, so we’ll see where it goes. TF: There’s a perception out there, fuelled by the opposition, that you campaigned against oil pipelines and now you’re turning the tanker around, as it were, to be in support of them. What do you say to that? PCC: It’s typical of the other guys to reinterpret and misquote. That’s what they do. They’re in opposition. What I said was, we have five conditions that must be met in order for heavy oil to be considered to go ahead in British Columbia. That has not changed. The five conditions remain in place. As of today, none of them have been met. The only thing that is different today, from before the election, is that now I no longer stand alone in supporting the five conditions. I have one other premier supporting me, and that’s Alison Redford.

Let customers pick their path Editor: Re: Border tolls eyed to recoup TransLink’s losses, Dec. 3. The more our governments tax us, the more we the people will try to evade paying. These so-called brainy people in government need to get their heads out of the sand. People will buy more if prices were lower. The gas tax should be graduated – i.e. the closer you live to the U.S. border crossings, the lower the taxes should be – so the difference in price is not so enormous. This is done in the Aldergrove area, where the gas prices are substantially lower. In South Surrey, there are no transit services, so why are we expected to pay transit taxes? People speak with their feet – or wheels, in this case – and rebel. Paul Dodds, Surrey Q All this talk about Canadians going to the U.S. to do their shopping, and the idea that they should be punitively taxed for so doing, ignores the most fundamental tenet of business… “The customer is always right.” If Canadian customers choose to go south, then so be it. Jim Armstrong, Surrey
Rumpelstiltskin spins pure gold Editor: This year, director Susanne de Pencier has outdone herself in attracting a wonderful cast of regulars and many new young talents to the 59th annual White Rock pantomime, Rumpelstiltskin! Now, I would like to heap my praises in point form: • Thanks to writer Dave Baron for a fun show with lots of Bond puns, so groannnnnnnn… it’s terrific. • I must say it’s about time Shenanigans got a part. It only took 59 years. • M the Dame (Bryce Mills) – Gilbert and Sullivan would have been proud – a true presence to be reckoned with! Like a force of nature… exposing more than you may care to see at times (ha-ha). Mills’ rendition of Goldfinger, it will never be the same for me. Yes, move over, Shirley Bassey. • Squire Goldringer (Ray Van Ieperen) – Delightfully silly as always, he makes it looks so easy, balancing intelligence and the fool with a fine touch. Oh yes, here’s one more booooooo to inspire Ray. Another stirling performance. • Jimmy Bond (Kirstin Stewart) – Polished, smooth and calm as he… well, she… should be as Bond. A solid performance. • Penny Money (MacKenzie Claus) – A welcome fresh talent. There’s a fine actress brewing in there – a gal to keep an eye on – as she seasons. Good singing voice. Now all she needs to do is follow the Dame’s
solid lead and belt it out; it’s a pantomime for heaven’s sakes. • Rumpelstilskin (Hunter Golden) – Bravo to Golden. His focus on the character’s physical stance alone was awesome to watch and so demanding – crouching and hunching steadily throughout his performance. The surprise ascent onto the table top, floating up like a wisp of smoke to dominate the room. His performance as the villain you love to hate – a talented young man. Another one to keep an eye on. There’s a hunger for more in his eyes. • Rocky Raccoon (Jennifer Tiles) and Jack Russell (Elyse Raible)– Tiles is an eye-popping facial contortionist who used her face to an absolute maximum effect, with humorous poses. Mesmerizing to watch. Tiles disappeared, and we were left with only Rocky Raccoon. Raible is the very best dogplaying-a-human-playing-a-dog performances I’ve ever seen! Good enthusiasm at all times. What a sweet team. The two of them could do a whole routine, or show, built around those two characters. The freedom and flexibility of these two characters leaves them plenty of room to roam, great energy and dedication to their roles by both ladies! The two of them have developed an interaction of body language, reinforcing their verbal interactions wonderfully. It proves why W.C. Fields never wanted to perform with children and dogs – they will always steal the show. These two are proof of that statement. • Finally, to all the rest of the cast and crew, well done, a solid performance by all. Honestly, this is a great panto, and the new talent pool is excellent. Seann Traviller, Surrey
Tell Uncle Sam to find U.S. port Editor: Earlier this year, Bill Goode of CKNW interviewed a principal of the coal-exporting company on his talk show. It was made very clear that this enterprise would create a total of 250 permanent jobs in B.C. – 50 at the Surrey Docks and 200 at the Texada Island transfer wharf. No wonder no U.S. state wants this business! We are now being told that $375 million will pay for the routing of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail tracks. Really? This would be the first project ever to not come in at double or triple a politician’s guesstimate. Why don’t we simply tell Uncle Sam to find a U.S. port? James Cosford, Surrey
Fulfillment of the law Editor: Re: Renewed talks of regional police, Nov. 14. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says the “goal is to retain and support community-based policing.” I have great respect and thankfulness for our RCMP. Every morning, when I turn on the news, it is shooting, stabbing, robbing, abuse or drugs and drunken driving. What a challenge each day for our protectors, the police. We are to obey the law. The Bible says: Do good works and you will have praise, but if you do evil, you will suffer fear. “Owe no one anything except to love one
another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. The commandments say: “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not lie, you shall not covet, you shall do unto others as you would have them do to you, you shall love your neighbour.” It is too bad that the Ten Commandments were taken out of the schools, because now some children do not know right from wrong. They start out young, stealing, fighting and bullying. Consequently, more police have to be added to the force. I honour and appreciate our police and thank them for the hours of multiple services and protection they bravely give us. May God protect and bless each of them. R. Kile, Surrey

What kind of mother does this? What kind of person? a M. Friesen
Another mother called out Editor: I was at Walmart earlier this month with my daughter, who is 15. We watched from our car as a women hit her young child in his car seat. She proceeded to yell at him – and then asked my daughter what her problem was. After responding to her, and telling her what she had just witnessed, the woman swore at her, told her she was fat, to go on a diet and to mind her own business… What kind of mother does this?

Sharing a great taste of success Editor: I would like to compliment the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce for organizing the Taste of Peninsula Dec. 5, but the real thank you goes to the restaurants and businesses who provided prizes. The restaurant owners were gracious and overly generous, giving out huge portions of their signature dishes.
There were many prizes donated by businesses in our community. These businesses continuously support every endeavour in our community. I do hope when people go out to shop they remember our local restaurants, businesses and repay the generous support they receive all year round. Mary Mikelson, Surrey

New West, Surrey at odds over Pattullo plans Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A proposed expansion of the Pattullo Bridge has hit an axle-bending speed bump as New Westminster has postponed the second phase of public consultation on the project. The 76-year-old Pattullo Bridge is in need of upgrades, for which TransLink has set aside $300 million. However, officials with the transportation authority, which has responsibility for the Pattullo, are reluctant to spend heavily on repairs if a new bridge is in the offing. Surrey’s transportation plan calls for a widening of the bridge to six lanes, which several councillors in the city say the public broadly supports. That would cost an estimated $1.6 billion. Another option is a four-lane bridge, which would cost about $800 million.

expansion. New West opposes the expansion – preferring instead to keep upgrading the aging span – because it will funnel greater volumes of traffic into its community. “It’s unfortunate,” said committee member Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode. “We’ve been engaged in a process for many years on community consultation and exploring options. And our planning has always revolved around a six-lane Pattullo expansion.” However, New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright said there has been some miscommunication because his city has every intention of participating in the next round of joint public consultation with Surrey and TransLink in early 2014. “If it is (cancelled), we don’t know about it,” said Wright. “That’s all baloney. We’re right in the midst of (the consultation).”
Still, the two cities are at odds over the best solution for the bridge, with New West favouring rehabilitating the bridge, and Surrey wanting a new six-lane span. Surrey officials say the best use of the dollars is to expand it, rather than continue to fix the span. The $300 million for upgrades would have to be spent again in another 20 years or so. A new span would last between 75 and 100 years. It’s assumed the new $1-billion-plus crossing would be paid for through tolls but no decision has been made. City of Surrey staff are now trying to negotiate with New Westminster and TransLink to see if the discussion can move forward. TransLink had been hoping a decision on the planned replacement would be made next year.

Stabbing, failed carjacking in Whalley
Look Who’s RCMP seek couple Bought… Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey Mounties may be looking for the same couple responsible for a stabbing and failed carjacking in Whalley last week. At about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, a man and woman – with what is described as a small machete – approached a man in a blue 2003 Dodge Caravan at an Esso Station near 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard. They told him to get out, and hand over the keys. As the couple got into the vehicle, they were approached by two other men in their mid-20s who then stole the van from the carjackers. About 10 minutes later, and a few blocks away, the Surrey Fire Department was called to the Front Room Drop-In Centre at 10667 135A St. on a medical call. On arrival, they found a man who had been stabbed in the upper left chest. He was taken to hospital by
ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. The 37-year-old Surrey resident said he had been walking on King George Boulevard near 106 Avenue when he was approached by a couple. The approaching man produced what the victim described as a small sword and began waving it around. The two groups walked away from each other, but on his way to the Front Room, the victim realized he had been stabbed. He is in hospital in stable condition. Police believe there is a good probability that the same couple are responsible for both offences. Police will be seizing the video footage from the Esso station to get a better description of the attackers. Police are also looking for the blue 2003 Dodge Caravan with licence plate 823 RWF. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
3 CIVIC PLAZA BUYER PROFILE SERIES #2 THE HUBBARD FAMILY Alysha Hubbard had been looking for a home both near the SkyTrain and in Surrey’s emerging downtown core, so when she heard about 3 Civic Plaza, she was immediately interested. When she took her family to the 3 Civic Plaza Presentation Centre to show them the home she was interested in purchasing, she hoped they would like it, but never anticipated they’d like it enough to buy suites of their own! What excited them about 3 Civic Plaza was that they could be central to everything and enjoy the ‘downtown’ lifestyle without having to leave the city where they grew up.
Trial ordered in bus attack A man charged in connection with a brawl in Cloverdale involving a busload of high school graduates in 2012 has been ordered to stand trial. Emmannuel Dario is charged with three counts of aggravated assault. His trial was ordered after a two-day preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court. There is a publication
ban on evidence from preliminary hearings. Surrey RCMP said the fight occurred when a chartered bus carrying about 50 teens stopped at a gas station. Several of the youth had gotten off the bus and a confrontation occurred with two men in a car that was driving through the area. Police said the car was damaged and the men
got out of the vehicle and began to fight with some of the passengers, many of whom had been drinking. Dario was slashed across the chest, said police, before he allegedly grabbed a board and swung it at the group, striking and injuring at least three people. Dario’s next court date is set for Feb. 6, 2014. -Sheila Reynolds

Alysha and her brother Gord were born and raised in Surrey and consider it home. What The Hubbard family with Century Group excited them about 3 Civic president Sean Hodgins. Plaza was that they could be central to everything and enjoy the ‘downtown’ lifestyle without having to leave the city where they grew up. Alysha, her brother, and their parents Dave and Judy are now ALL proud owners at 3 Civic Plaza. Alysha and her brother decided on medium size 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suites and their parents chose a larger 2 bedroom plus den. “We loved the design. This is the first time we’ve seen a design that has three different walls of windows.” Alysha can enjoy expansive views from her kitchen and living area as well as from her bedroom, which is something she couldn’t find anywhere else. The proximity to the SkyTrain was a big draw for this family as well as being situated right on the Plaza, which “means you have access to everything, right at your doorstep.”

Canada Post ending home delivery in urban areas
Personal mailboxes to be axed Jeff Nagel Black Press
Canada Post will phase out home delivery of mail in urban areas in a new bid to cut costs. Many newer suburban neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland already have community mailboxes. But the Crown corporation says the remaining one-third of Canadian households that still get home delivery will be switched to community mailboxes or grouped or lobby mailboxes over the next five years. It cites declining use of postal mail – a billion fewer pieces of mail were delivered last year compared to 2006 – as households shift to online bill payments and other digital communication. The price of stamps will also go up from 63 to 85 cents each if bought in booklets, or $1 for individual stamps. It means up to 8,000 fewer postal workers will be needed, which Canada Post says will be shed by attrition, as nearly 15,000 workers are expected to retire or leave voluntarily over the next five years. “With its current labour costs, Canada Post has a much higher cost structure than its competitors in the private sec-

Individual mailboxes are to be replaced by community boxes. tor have,” Canada Post said in a press release. “This is simply not sustainable.” The reduced workforce and other changes are expected to save a combined $700 to $900 million per year. A Conference Board of Canada report last spring found Canada Post would face losses of $1 billion a year by 2020 without major reform. Reaction has been mixed but one concern being raised is that many more banks of community mailboxes will be vul-
nerable to mail theft by identity thieves. There have been ongoing mail theft reports in communities like Belcarra that already have the clustered group boxes, as well as newly developed areas of Surrey, particularly Clayton. Surrey resident Craig Findlay says the community mailbox in his Fleetwood neighbourhood was broken into repeatedly and says Canada Post must make them more secure before converting the remain-
ing urban neighbourhoods. “It’s going to be an exercise in futility as far as I’m concerned,” Findlay said. “They should try it in one or two places and find out for themselves how bad it’s going to be.” Findlay said Canada Post is right to seek ways to stop losing money. But he said it might be smarter to reduce home delivery to every second or third day, or else put group boxes in publicly accessible indoor areas such as malls, until mail thieves can be thwarted. Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew said Canada Post has hardened the community boxes somewhat with anti-pry devices so they are less vulnerable to theft. “It’s not as bad as it was,” he said, but added mail theft from the boxes remains a continuing problem throughout the Tri-Cities. “If somebody’s determined, they’re going to get in.” Drew said the complete transition away from door-to-door home delivery was predictable and inevitable. “Home delivery people really have been subsidized by the other two-thirds of the Canadian public in terms of the cost of the system.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Anti-bullying focus for South Surrey teen’s platform
Crowning achievement for local advocate Sarah Massah
Warning signs:
A
Staff Reporter
South Surrey anti-bullying advocate has been named the first-ever Ms. Vancouver. Ashley Brooks’ crowning achievement came Nov. 24 after seven months of vying for the title of Vancouver Television’s Ms. and Mr. Vancouver Pageant, while also sharing her story of being bullied when she was in middle school. “The second I won, (the bullies) crossed my mind for a second, and I felt in my heart that I did it. I actually did it. It was the best moment of my life,” the 18-year-old said. “Since I’ve won the title, I’ve been falling asleep with a smile on my face every night, and when I see my crown and ❝...Those my sash every morning, bullies, they “I’m reminded of how hard motivated me I worked and regardless of and made me what people said, I followed stronger and my heart and I chased my ” made me into dreams. The months-long journey the person that included a fundraiser I am today...❞ benefitting BC Children’s Hospital in September that the Earl Marriott Secondary grad organized as part of the community-service aspect of the pageant, as well as a minute-long speech she gave in front of judges and the audience, introducing herself and explaining her journey. “I probably read my speech 300 times, and it worked out really well. I didn’t miss a beat,” she said. A large portion of Brooks’ journey has been her experience with bullying while living in Manitoba. In July, Brooks shared that story with the Peace Arch News, including feeling ostracized by all her former friends before moving to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. But instead of allowing the negativity to consume her, Brooks said the experience only made her more determined to face her challenges. “I felt like those bullies, they motivated me and made me stronger and made me the person that I am today and influenced my actions and how dedicated I feel towards this,” she said. And now, as Ms. Vancouver, Brooks antibullying platform will expand as she takes on the one-year hosting contract she was awarded with the title. Set to begin this month, Brooks will host events, interview notable names and learn about the behind-the-scenes of broadcast media. “I can’t wait to see what’s next for me. I’m absolutely ready to take on anything that comes my way.”
Most children and youth having thoughts of suicide show signs of their distress, although some do not. Some of the changes families and others may see in children and youth who may be at risk for suicide include: • Talking about suicide or a plan for suicide. • Saying things like, “I’m going to kill myself,” “I wish I were dead,” “I shouldn’t have been born,” “I won’t be a problem for you much longer,” “Nothing matters,” or “It’s no use.” • Making statements about hopelessness, helplessness or worthlessness. • Complaining of being a bad person or feeling “rotten inside,” refusing help or feeling beyond help. Not tolerating praise or rewards. • Giving away favourite possessions or making a will. • Being preoccupied with death. • Showing a loss of interest in pleasurable activities or things they once cared about; always feeling bored. • Feeling trapped, increasingly anxious, agitated or angry. • Showing marked personality changes and serious mood changes. • Withdrawing from friends and family. • Expressing plans to seek revenge. • Sleeping all of the time or unable to sleep. • Showing impulsive behaviours, such as violent actions, rebellious behaviour or running away.

Dress Up!
Christmas walk Surrey residents walked the walk last month. The first-ever Santa Window Walk, that is. Participants of the inaugural event made their way through downtown Surrey, beginning at the Quattro development on the corner of 108 Avenue and Whalley Boulevard, where the Surrey Hospice Society offered up hot chocolate. Highlights from the fundraiser included an organ grinder, Trinidadian and Tobagan steel drums and homemade cupcakes sold by Surrey Christmas Bureau. Those strolling by Guildford Park Secondary were treated to sounds from a choir organized by the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, and the Centre for Child Development offered a candy pull station. More than $800 was raised through the window walk, with funds benefitting organizations including the Surrey Christmas Bureau.
Celebrate a Life An annual tradition that invites residents to pay tribute to loved ones and supports hospice programs is underway at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre in South Surrey. White Rock/South Surrey Hospice Society’s Celebrate a Life campaign runs through Dec. 23, and features a memorial tree on which those interested may hang a dove. Information on hospice and its programs is also available, and society volunteers are on hand to listen to and speak with individuals about their loss, during a time when coping may be more difficult.

Edinburgh Awards last week. Nicholas Lowe, Declan Garayt-Wright, Kevin Bi and Jason Pulfer – members of the 21st South Surrey Venturer Company – were honoured with the award Dec. 11 at a ceremony at Vancouver Technical Secondary. In order to receive the award, the four Venturers had to complete a minimum of 15 hours of community service over a period of six months, six months spent following a skills program, a minimum of 30 hours of physical activity over 15 weeks and a minimum of two days and one night spent camping with an average of six hours of activity per day. The four Venturers completed the latter portion of the requirements by participating in a four-day kayak trip on Pitt Lake. Now, the group is working towards their silver medal and later on, their gold medal, which is presented by a member of the royal family.

Wrangel Island, Russia. Their population varies with the weather and predators, such as Arctic foxes. In the last few years, Mother Nature has been kind and survival of young ones has been good. Consequently, huge flocks are present in the delta this winter. Some migrate on to California, although in smaller numbers than formerly, while others form a Skagit-Fraser delta flock that move between these two river mouths over the course of the winter. Some Canadian geese migrate through the
delta, although the most commonly seen birds are a hybrid race, introduced in the 1900s. They are nonmigratory and can be a nuisance bird. Old timers knew many wild races, such as the small cackling goose and the dark dusky goose. The rather similar, Greater White-fronted Goose, another northern migrant, is an uncommon visitor. Along with Tundra Swans, it was market hunted in the early days of European settlement.
Populations may now be recovering; this fall a flock of more than 50 birds stopped at Boundary Bay. Brant differ from other geese by feeding offshore, not on land. Most winter in Baja Calif., but some stay in Boundary Bay, grazing on eelgrass. In spring they head north, to nest in the everlasting daylight of the Arctic islands.

ARIES
LIBRA
Aries, handle some unfinished business and establish clear priorities. Otherwise, you may turn what could be a productive week into something frustrating.
Decoding all of the mixed signals coming your way won't be easy, Libra. The only thing you can do for the moment is to take each signal one at a time.
TAURUS
SCORPIO
Taurus, when you wear your heart on your sleeve for everyone to see, you cannot be shy about expressing your emotions. Friends may be skeptical of you though.
Scorpio, you are not in the mood to play games, so you will want to push your romantic relationship to the next level. You will have no problem leading the way.
GEMINI
SAGITTARIUS
Gemini, don't be shy about sharing unique plans with your loved ones. The support of friends and family members will only restore your confidence in this new direction.
Opportunities to address your physical well-being present themselves this week, Sagittarius. Make the most of these opportunities to make a significant change.

Capricorn, you will ride a creative wave for the next several days. Inspiration will strike when you least expect it. You should have some time for play.
Expect your ideas to take shape over the next couple of days, Cancer. Concrete plans will materialize as you begin to pull thoughts from your imagination. The results will be unique.
AQUARIUS
LEO
Aquarius, expect some support from family members and close friends. Receive their generosity as warmly as you can, even if you're feeling a bit smothered.
You probably are not interested in inching along this week, Leo. Though it's good to attack a project with gusto, don't rush so much that you make mistakes.
PISCES
VIRGO
Pisces, it can be easy to get swept away by other people's agendas when you attempt to lend a helping hand. Do your best to pitch in.
Virgo, you are quite comfortable sharing your thoughts now that you have gotten some things worked out. It's now much easier to talk about future possibilities.

Mind and Matter Art In Bloom, the current show at the Arnold Mikelson Mind and Matter Gallery (13743 16 Ave,) features work by three wellknown artists; Sechelt’s Anita Lindblom, and White Rock’s Gunilla Lindgren and Pauline McLean Dutkowski. Products of Lindblom’s Blue Dot Art Studio in Sechelt are typically bright and upbeat, floral-dominated watercolours and hand-painted 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 604-536-6460.

the lead lasted less than three minutes, as Coquitlam’s Cameron Marks replied with a power-play marker of his own. The second period was an offensive barnburner, as the teams combined for six goals. Surrey retook the lead with two quick goals, as captain Brett Mulcahy – back on the ice last weekend after missing a few games due to injury – and Danton Heinen scored within the first three minutes. Heinen also added two assists in the victory. The lead wouldn’t last the period, however, as the Express bounced back with three straight goals – from Jackson Cressey and two from Corey Mackin – to take a brief lead, themselves. Surrey’s Nic Pierog would score before the second intermission – his fourth goal of the weekend – to tie the game at 4-4. Devon Fordyce was between the pipes for
Surrey, stopping 29 of 33 shots on net. Saturday’s win over the Clippers, who sit third in the BCHL’s Island Division with an 18-17-0-1 record, was a calmer affair than Sunday’s high-scoring OT thriller. Pierog led the way for the home side, scoring twice and adding an assist on the team’s other goal, which Heinen potted late in the third period. Edwin Hookenson was the only Clipper to beat Fordyce, who otherwise was flawless, stopping 35 of 36 shots in the win. Fordyce’s only night off came in Friday’s weekend opener in Langley, in which Bo Didur handled goaltending duties against the Rivermen. Neither squad got on the board in the first 20 minutes, before Langley jumped out to a big lead in the second period with four goals. Matt Utaski scored twice – i see page 30

i from page 29 one on the power play and one shorthanded – for Langley, while Pierog, on a penalty shot, scored Surrey’s lone goal. In the third period, Mulcahy scored on the power play to bring the score to 4-2, but an emptynet goal from Langley’s Austin Azurdia sealed the victory for the home team. As is often the case between the two division rivals, the game was a penalty-filled affair, capped by Rivermen forward Jakob Reichert, who – having already been whistled for two minor penalties in the game – was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a blow to the head midway through the third period. He also finished with two assists in the game. Surrey capitalized on the penalty with Mulcahy’s goal, but was stymied on their other opportunities, going just 1-for-8 with the man-advantage. The Eagles will look to keep their winning streak on home ice going Thursday, when they host the Prince George Spruce Kings in their final game before the holiday break. After Thursday’s tilt, the Eagles won’t play again until Dec. 28 and 29, when they’ll face off in a home-and-home series against the Chilliwack Chiefs.

George W. Camp Passed away peacefully with his family by his side on December 9, 2013 having lived a full and wonderful life. Born in Calgary Alberta in 1923, George was determined to ensure he never wasted a moment of his life. From his early days as a pilot in the Canadian Air Force, his time at the University of Alberta, and continuing on through his many business ventures and travel, he demonstrated an unstoppable personal drive and level of commitment focused on whatever he put his mind to. He was a true entrepreneur who had the courage of his convictions to approach any challenge head on. In later life he derived great joy and happiness from the relationships he developed with the people of the Philippines where he undertook many philanthropic ventures to pursue his goal of doing what he could to help his fellow man. Predeceased by his daughter Kathy and wife Marjorie, he will be ever remembered, ever loved by his son Ron and daughter Marilyn (Intile). Donations in memoriam can be made to the Canadian Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan recovery fund.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, December 20 at 12:00pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC. Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522
HATHAWAY C.M. (Wendy) 1918 - 2013 On the 22nd of October 2013, Constance Mary Hathaway (known by everyone as “Wendy”), ascended with poise and dignity into heaven, carried in the arms of the angels to the home of our Lord. She was predeceased by her loving husband Cyril in 1991, her wonderful son John and by her beloved granddaughters Sherri and Melinda. Left behind to grieve are her son David (Joanne), her daughters Ann (Ron) and Deb (Blair), her grandchildren David, Greg, Mike, Sarah, Trevor, Tyler, Shannon and Jeff, plus 10 great grandchildren. Wendy was born in the East End of London, England where she toughed out the bombs of the German Blitz before coming to Canada in 1952 with barely two nickels to rub together. She and her husband worked very hard in order to build a better life for their children and themselves. They succeeded and the family prospered under Wendy’s watchful eye in their new Woodbridge, Ontario home. Soon some of the family began to wander to new locations, so she decided to move with her husband to BC in order to reunite their scattered family once more. Wendy had a really wonderful sense of humor and could always pull out a story, usually about England and/or World War II, which had her guests rolling on the floor with laughter. She also played some good frames of bowling, lived in her own condo and even drove her Mercedes until she was 91 years old! We will surely miss you our much loved Mum and we will always remember the great times we had together. No one else will ever take your place. We love you, David, Ann & Deb. Wendy was cremated and at her request a private family ceremony will be held in the Spring.

ADVERTISE in the LARGEST OUTDOOR PUBLICATION IN BC The 2014-2016 BC Hunting Regulations Synopsis
Lionel Boon Newton It is with great sadness we announce that Lionel Boon Newton passed away on December 12, 2013 in White Rock, B.C. after a short struggle with cancer. Lionel was born June 9, 1932 in Drain, Oregon. He received his Masters degree from the University of Oregon in music education. After teaching music for several years at Princess Margaret Secondary and Newton Junior Secondary schools he began a career in Real Estate in the White Rock/ South Surrey Area. During his retirement years he was an avid golfer, master club fitter, and swing coach who found great joy in helping golfers improve their game. He will be remembered for his quick sense of humor, love of music and his exceptional singing talent which touched so many people. Predeceased by his spouse Jytte Langmann, Lionel is survived by his children Lauren and spouse Koho, Kimberly and spouse Christopher (Kenneth, Tiffini, Kevin) and Tracy and spouse Hilary (Tyler and Erin, Dustin, Spencer and Kaylee). A gathering will be held to celebrate and honor his life on December 18, 2013, at 1377 128A Street, Surrey B.C. between 1 - 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the cancer society.
