2012 hit-and-run injured two women in South Surrey crosswalk

Charges one year after joggers struck Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than a year after two joggers were struck in a South Surrey crosswalk, charges have been laid against the alleged driver. According to court records, two counts of “fail to stop at accident scene involving bodily harm” were sworn on Barry Christiansen Dec. 6 against a Surrey man.

Barry Russell Christiansen, 54, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Jan. 21, 2014. On Dec. 3, 2012, just before 8 p.m., Nola Carlson and Shelley Lammers were jogging across 152 Street at 32 Avenue, when they were mowed down by a vehicle turning south. Lammers suffered a concussion, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, two broken vertebrae

and a lacerated liver. Carlson’s injuries included a broken nose and cheekbone. Evidence from the scene included traffic-camera video that captured the impact and – about 25 seconds later – a figure on foot approach the women and lean over them before rapidly departing. Three days later, police announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1.

Early last month, investigators forwarded their report recommending charges. On Dec. 4, Neil MacKenzie – communications counsel for the Criminal Justice Branch – told Peace Arch News the charge assessment process was ongoing “and no decision has been made as to whether any charges will be approved.” i see page 4

Mayor touts tech in Israel Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is in Israel, drumming up partnerships with medical-technology firms. The mayor is working toward turning the city into the country’s “innovation gateway” and hopes Israeli partnerships will help. Not everyone is enthused with Watts jetting off to Israel on the taxpayers’ dime. Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said prime ministers and premiers often go on these sorts of business missions, but local politicians don’t have the same clout. “To me, the question always comes back to ‘what’s the business plan behind this?’” Bateman said. “We haven’t seen one. And taxpayers are sending the mayor to Israel at a time when we’re contemplating a tax increase, among other issues.” Bateman, a former Langley councillor, said he’s never seen this type of spending at the committee level. “This surprised me… I always thought you couldn’t spend money unless you had a motion of council.” It was instead approved Dec. 2 through the city’s Investment and Innovation Committee. Watts said in a news release that the trip is a worthwhile venture. “Israel is known as the world’s global ‘start-up nation’,” she said. “Surrey is looking to tap into Israel’s pioneering cutting edge medical, entrepreneurial and scientific innovation.”

Double-time credited for incarceration since gang leader was arrested

Surrey Six conspirator out in 3 years Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A sentence of 12 years has been handed down to Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le – who pleaded guilty to playing a role in the Surrey Six murders – but with credit for time already served, the admitted gang leader now faces just over three years in jail. Chief Justice Austin Cullen delivered the sentence Tuesday afternoon in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, after earlier in the day hearing an agreed submission from Crown and defence lawyers recommending the 12-year sentence, minus double-time credit totalling nearly nine

years for the 4½ years Le has spent in custody. Le pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to murder rival gang member Corey Lal. There is no minimum sentence for conspiracy to murder, and the maximum is a life sentence. Lal was shot to death in the Balmoral Tower apartment on Oct. 19, 2007, along with five other men: his brother, Michael, Ryan Bartolomeo, Edward Narong, Edward Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. Cullen said the planned murder of one person “exploded into a monstrous display of wanton, pitiless violence which stole the lives of six people... and caused enormous devasta-

tion to their remaining family and loved ones.” Cullen said Le’s complicity “in law” is confined to the death of Corey Lal, but said his participation ultimately led to the deaths of the other five victims. “As such, his moral complicity is high,” the judge said. Le apologized to the families of the victims in court Tuesday, saying he hoped they’d one day be able to forgive him. Mohan’s mother, Eileen, said outside court that she wasn’t surprised by Le’s sentence, but said she must accept it in the quest for further justice. i see page 2

Body found in North Surrey The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was in North Surrey Tuesday, investigating what is believed to be the city’s 24th homicide of the year, after a body was found near railroad tracks. At about 11 a.m., a victim’s body was found in west Whalley, near 102 Avenue and 124 Street.

“Details such as the victim’s age or gender are not known. IHIT is treating this as a suspicious death case at this time until further examination of the scene is completed,” said Sgt. Bari Emam of IHIT. “We are in the first few hours of the investigation and very little is known to us at this time.”

Mother hopes for ‘ultimate justice’ i from page 1 “There’s… four more people still awaiting trial. In order to get justice for everybody involved, I have to accept the consequences and bite my tongue and I’m hopeful… when all this madness is over, we’ll get ultimate justice.” Le’s lawyer, Christopher Johnson, reminded those questioning the sentence that his client has been in jail for almost five years. The current system requires Le to serve two-thirds of his 37-month sentence, Johnson said. “He has pled guilty to what he was charged with – that is on the conspiracy aspect of it. The Crown’s case with respect to the murder part of it was always weak against Mr. Le.” Johnson said that once free, Le wants to change his life and leave the gang underworld he’s been involved in since he was a youth. Earlier in the day, Eileen Mohan read a victim-impact statement in court, saying Le’s guilty plea doesn’t erase what happened. “The blood that you spilled out of my son was my blood. The lifeless body you left behind was my flesh. The spirit in Christopher that was taken was my spirit,” she told Le. “There’s some wounds that time cannot heal.” Mohan said she hoped Le would one day have a son so he could experience what real love feels like. Jourdane Lal read an emotional

She said her kids have been robbed of knowing their uncles, and that she’d had to watch her parents endure the nightmare of losing two of their children and the agony of the ensuing trial. “I’ve been told that time heals everything, but I’m still waiting,” Jourdane said, noting it had been 2,248 days since the murders. Though they were not read in court, several family members of victims submitted victim-impact statements, including Bartolomeo’s mom, Narong’s sister and the Lals’ father, sister and mother who left court during Le’s apology. Lois Schellenberg, wife of Ed Schellenberg, who was repairing gas fireplaces in the building on the day of the murders, called her husband “loving and kind.” She said he was her best friend and that his death changed the

lives of their family forever. “When I think of our children, it breaks my heart to think Ed won’t be able to walk Rachel down the aisle on her wedding day,” she wrote. “He will also not get to see the amazing man his son will become.” Rachel Schellenberg wrote about her “amazing” father, whose absence has left a hole in her life. “There’s nothing to do but be. I’m surrounded by wonderful people, ones who care with unending love… but they’re not my daddy.” The court heard Tuesday that the Surrey Six murders began as an intention to eliminate Corey Lal, a rival drug dealer, and send a message that the Red Scorpions gang wasn’t to be defied. The court heard Le initially didn’t want Lal killed, but agreed after associate Jamie Bacon suggested if they didn’t kill him, the gang would appear weak. The trial of Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston is to continue in January. Each has pleaded not guilty to six counts of first-degree murder. There are publication bans in place that forbid reporting of some details, as well as Le’s image or any description of him. Bacon is also charged with conspiracy and murder in connection with Corey Lal’s death, but is to be tried separately.

Mayors not on board with proposal to raise money for TransLink

Border tolls ‘would raise $30-45 million’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

A Seattle think-tank estimates a $5-toll on drivers crossing the U.S. border could raise $30-45 million a year for TransLink. Researcher Clark Williams-Derry of the Sightline Institute crunched the numbers in response to a controversial proposal by Vancouver transportation planner Eric Doherty, who argued a border toll would raise new money to fund transit, help stop TransLink’s loss of gas-tax money, reduce border congestion and deter cross-border shopping. Williams-Derry estimated $38 million in revenue would be raised from a $2.50 toll charged each way at the five crossings from Point Roberts to Sumas, assuming 20 per

cent fewer vehicles cross the border to buy gas as a result, with less dramatic decreases in other trips. He said another $4 million could come from more fuel instead being bought in B.C., with 17 cents per litre in tax going directly to TransLink and another 10 cents collected by the federal government that flows to TransLink for capital projects. If Americans were exempted from the toll – something Doherty recommends so U.S. tourists aren’t dissuaded from coming north – Williams-Derry said the take from tolls might be 20 per cent less, as that’s the rough share of U.S. motorists crossing the border. “For a transit agency scrambling for every dollar they can find, this would certainly be one way of shoring up their finances,”

Williams-Derry said. But he cautioned the extra revenue from border tolls might decline quickly if the Canadian dollar weakens further and makes cross-border shopping less of a bargain. No B.C. politician is championing the notion of border tolls, which is deeply unpopular with the many Lower Mainland residents who regularly nip across the line to save money on gas and other goods. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said the idea doesn’t make sense to him. “I just don’t think it’s going to fly,” he said, adding he’d prefer to seek ways to reduce gas taxes charged in B.C. “I wonder if we would not be farther ahead to reduce those and convince people to stay

home and spend their hard-earned dollars in Canada.” North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, chair of the Metro mayors’ council, opposes the border-tolling idea. Walton said he’s concerned it would create more frustration toward TransLink and harm the chances of voters approving increased funding for transit in a promised referendum. “You end up annoying more people who feel they’re getting chipped away at,” he said. “We’re already dealing with significant pushback.” Transportation Minister Todd Stone was unavailable for comment but his staff issued a statement saying the province has no plans to toll highways leading to border crossings.

Farmers not consulted

Mayors’ track pitch premature: Hepner Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The timing of a rail-safety public forum that advanced the idea of relocating the main BNSF route off the waterfront in favour of a system of pedestrian trails – and suggested four possible inland realignments – could have been better, according to Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner. Hepner, who chairs the city’s agricultural and food security committee, said this week that any relocation of the route could have significant implications for Surrey’s agricultural land – and that farmers would need to be part of the discussion. Hepner said while her committee subsequently received the presentation from staff – included in the most recent Linda Hepner committee councillor minutes approved by council Monday night – it “would have been nicer to have the presentation before the fact.” Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the city’s transportation and infrastructure committee, said Monday he felt city staff had “dropped the ball” in not presenting the ideas to his committee before the Nov. 26 public forum – which included presentations from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin – for which he said he agreed to act as master of ceremonies “at short notice.” Hepner said the idea of a “Utopia” without tracks on the waterfront has come up many times since she was first elected in to Surrey council in 1985. i see page 4

Mixed views over City of Surrey’s arts centre/towers proposal

Highrise hearing likely for February Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A public hearing on a residential towers proposal with arts amenities for South Surrey could take place as soon as Feb. 3, if the project passes first and second readings in January. That’s the target date, according to Shawna Nickel, marketing director for Cotter Architects Inc., designer of the multi-purpose project proposed for co-developers the Reifel Cooke Group and the Surrey City Development Corporation. The target date for first and second readings of the project is Jan. 13. If both readings are passed, the project would be able to proceed to public hearing on Feb. 3. The two-tower proposal – which, in addition to around 328 residential units, would provide building shells for both a 350-seat theatre/performing arts centre and contemporary arts cafe and gallery – would be located at the corner of 152 Street and 19 Avenue. At its highest point, it would reach the equivalent of 27 storeys above ground level – permissible at the site under the city’s interim land use and density concept for the Semiahmoo Town Centre, which has identified it as one of a limited number of ‘landmark’ sites where

building over 20 storeys could be allowed. Although opponents have said they are not opposed to the kind of arts amenities included in the plan, they question whether these would actually turn out as described. Neighbour Kristen Smith – who encourages participation in a Semiahmoo Residents Against Tower Development Facebook page – notes providing the interiors of the performing arts centre and the arts cafe and gallery are dependent on taxpayer dollars and city management for the timing and form in which they appear. Concerns cited by Smith include the shadow effect of the proposed buildings, lack of infrastructure in the area to support the project, existing traffic congestion, disruption during construction and a change in character of the neighbourhood. Smith noted proposed benefits of the development would not be immediate – while the development would contribute property for the widening of 152 Street to accommodate future transit lanes, for instance, it would only provide for widening in front of the proposed buildings, with the rest provided only over many years through taxpayer dollars. South Surrey architect Paul Rust – a member of White Rock’s Advisory Design Panel

– attended the project’s most recent publicinformation meeting, Dec. 4. Rust said that aside from some esthetic concerns about the current style in building profiles, he believes Patrick Cotter is a “skillful” architect who is trying to balance all the requirements of a project in which the city is a major partner. A wide pedestrian area along 152 Street in the plan has taken interior space that could have been used to provide a covered galleria connection linking the performing arts centre with the gallery and café space, Rust said, adding he believes the architect is responding to Surrey planning input in providing the feature. “We live in a rainy climate,” he said. “We don’t have to keep providing these outdoor plazas, and architects should push back a little on these requirements.” Order of Canada recipient George Zukerman, founder of the White Rock Concerts subscription series, was among those viewing the plans with interest. Zukerman, who noted he is not opposed to highrises, said the gallery space in the plan would be “a worthwhile addition,” though he would like to see even more performance space. “I wish it could be 850 seats – 1,000 would be even better,” he said.

WOLF’S DELI

Defence to assess the allegations i from page 1 Advised by PAN of the charges Tuesday morning, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said they are good news for the victims and their families. He was surprised to learn they had been sworn 11 days earlier. “This is more an exception than the norm. We’re usually kept updated on high-profile cases,” Paquet said. Shortly after noon Tuesday, Paquet issued a news release noting the charges were laid after assistance from the public. “It is extremely satisfying for our investigators, but especially for the victims and their families, to see that this next legal step has taken place,” Paquet said. “While the assistance of the public was

the key in advancing this investigation, several officers have worked tirelessly to ensure that charges were successfully laid…” Prior to last year’s arrest, members of Lammers’ family appealed for the driver responsible to “do the right thing.” While that didn’t prompt anyone to come forward, release of the traffic-camera footage triggered the memory of a passerby who remembered a licence-plate number. Carlson at the time described the fact the driver had left the scene as “heinous.” “I’m appalled and I’m frightened – what’s the world coming to when these kinds of accidents happen and drivers just leave the person lying there?” she said. Reached by email Tuesday,

Christiansen – a senior management consultant at Insights Vancouver – deferred PAN’s request for an interview to his lawyer. Emmet Duncan said his client appreciated the opportunity to give his side publicly but “just at this time, it’s not appropriate.” Duncan declined to speak to the charges. “We haven’t had an opportunity to see what the case is against Mr. Christiansen at all, so we don’t have much to comment on,” he said. “We would need to see what the allegations are and what all the information is before making that decision. “He may re-evaluate the situation after we’ve got a better sense of what the evidence in the case is.”

Mégantic disaster,” she said. “The question arises that, if we’re going to move our rails, who else in this nation may wish to move theirs? It’s such a big conversation and we’re a ways away from that coming to fruition.” She’s said she’s also concerned that “any time we have a significant requirement for new infrastructure, it comes at the expense of agricultural land.” Some of the routes shown as potential realignments are “beyond 70 per cent in agricul-

tural land,” Hepner said. It might seem easy to utilize for rail relocation, but it might not be the best use of resources, she said, noting it would set a precedent. “Rail corridors always attract industry, there’s no question about that,” she said, adding that potential ag-industrial uses might need to be part of the discussion. “It’s too early to have those conversations,” Hepner said. “But certainly we want to have the agricultural community at the table when we have them.”

Essential elements missed: Hepner i from page 3 “If we advanced in any way the relocation of the tracks, it would require a willing partner in the BNSF and a funding source,” she said, noting discussion is premature without these “essential elements.” Moreover, she noted, the issue is a national one – not just a concern in Surrey and White Rock. “I sit as a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which has had a national rail safety committee since the Lac

are looked after.” The board wants Surrey to explore alternate revenue sources, including additional taxes for abandoned gas stations, or better using agricultural land that is not used for farming. The board wants the city to consider rezoning city-owned space for arts and cultural uses. Finally, the SBOT is asking Surrey to find ways that new developments can include quality childcare spaces as part of its development-approval process. Coun. Tom Gill, who chairs the city’s finance committee, said he welcomes the input from the SBOT. He notes that the city has some of the lowest taxes in the region, and is still recovering from a 10-year freeze on tax increases that ended in 2003. “I honestly do feel we have been playing a bit of catch up right now,” Gill said. “And I think some of that catch up relates to that 10-year span where we had no tax increases.”

Commuters deserve more

or the most part, commuters in the Lower Mainland – especially those on the north side of the Fraser River – are pretty well served by transit. That assumes, of course, that they happen to live close to a SkyTrain station, and also happen to be travelling to Vancouver, or a destination that’s also convenient to SkyTrain. A trip to or from South Surrey, White Rock, Delta – or anywhere in the Fraser Valley beyond King George Station, the easternmost SkyTrain stop – can be an arduous adventure of tenuous bus connections and heavy traffic that can take hours and cause the commuters enough grief that they’re driven back into their vehicles. There’s no doubt SkyTrain has changed the landscape of Metro Vancouver since the Expo line was opened in 1986. The extension of a fourth line out to Coquitlam from Burnaby by 2016 will change it yet again. Huge town centres have grown up around SkyTrain stations and more are being developed, especially along the Millennium Line through Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood and the Brewery District in New Westminster. But one thing SkyTrain hasn’t done is ease traffic congestion. A recent survey by the GPS software company TomTom said Vancouver’s traffic is the worst in North America. Worse than L.A. Worse than New York City. That’s despite the investment of billions of dollars to build the SkyTrain system. SkyTrain is based upon the premise that most commuters are travelling from the nearby suburbs to jobs in Vancouver or elsewhere along its three lines. But the daily commute is more complicated than that, particularly as jobs migrate out of the downtown core to commercial and industrial developments in outlying communities where land is cheaper. It’s been said frequently by Fraser Valley residents that their region is woefully underserved by transit, and such a complaint is not inaccurate. A recent pitch by Surrey Mayor Diane Watts for light-rail transit lines throughout the city is a good start. It should be heeded. It’s time for TransLink to get away from its one-track emphasis on SkyTrain, and start expanding its reach to better serve all Metro Vancouver residents, no matter where they live.

took the elevator up to 51 North – the oncology floor. I had been a patient there several times during my cancer treatments, when I was at my lowest point. I walked into each patient’s room and wished them all a happy holiday. On my way back to the elevator, I noticed a ‘Palliative Care’ sign over the entrance to another wing, where the very sick and/or terminally ill patients are. I walked into the ward and all of the medical staff were surprised to see Santa. After posing for several photos, I asked if it would be OK to say hello to the patients. They replied in unison:“Of course you can – you’re Santa Claus!” I made my way around the ward, entering each of the rooms and holding the hand of each of the patients. I didn’t know what to say, but what suddenly burst out of my mouth was “I know that you’ve always believed in me and I just wanted to drop by to say hello.” One patient – an older man wearing a Christmas hat – said he had awoken that morning excited with the hope that maybe a friend or family member might drop by for a visit. But none had… until Santa Claus. He held my hand for the longest time and just stared at me. He then muttered, “Thank you, Santa. Merry Christmas.” I turned to leave his room – I didn’t want him to see me cry. After all, he believed in Santa Claus. And now, so do I.

Slower trains a fast solution

Dog days of winter

It’s tough to get their attention

Editor: Re: Mayors probe moving tracks inland, Nov. 21. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway already restricts their trains to a speed limit of 35 km/h along the White Rock waterfront. Rather than squandering hundreds of millions of dollars moving train tracks from White Rock to another area that doesn’t want them, perhaps if we asked BNSF nicely they would consider extending this speed limit all the way to the Nicomekl River bridge, which already has a 24 km/h limit. At those slow speeds, it’s extremely unlikely that a derailment would result in a potential disaster. And as a bonus, there would be even less possibility of scattering coal dust from the coal cars. Gary Cameron, Surrey

Editor: With the well-below-zero temperatures upon us and the already frequent threat of snowfalls, it’s important to remember our dogs this time of year. With the necessity to go outside to relieve themselves and for occasional exercise, these frigid temperatures can be a bit of a challenge, ever for larger woolly hounds. I own a seven-year-old whippet, and last winter I had many challenges keeping her warm and keeping her feet protected. As I bundle myself up in my own winter coat, scarf, toque and mittens, I can’t help but think, “Boy, if I can’t handle the cold, how can she?” Understanding that each breed is different, but if you have a less furry breed, here are a few quick tips to keep your dogs warm, healthy and happy through the winter season. Purchase a sweater or a lined coat to provide an extra layer of warmth, specifically for the shorthaired breeds. If your dog is as lean as my whippet, it may be necessary to provide a layer over their legs as well. Polar fleece is the best option for keeping warmth close to their bodies. Invest in dog boots that have proper traction, so that your dog won’t suffer from any reactions from the cold, salt and snow-removal chemicals that are often placed on

Editor: Re: Other drivers kept coming, Dec. 12 letters. Letter-writer Deborah Skaey is absolutely right when she writes, “… the flashing amber lights are simply not catching people’s attention.” I’m not sure whether they’re all staring at their phones, or they have an unwarranted sense of entitlement that leads them to mistakenly believe that they have a right to drive as fast as they want and no one has the right to make them slow down or stop – just ask any road crew. I’ve noticed that the speed-limit signs on Crescent Road have become invisible to drivers, as most seem to be driving at double or triple the limit. I even took the step of dangling bicycle reflectors below several signs in an unsuccessful attempt to draw drivers’ attention to them. Maybe the only thing drivers will notice is a police officer handing them a ticket or impounding their vehicle for exceeding the speed limit or driving through an occupied crosswalk. Fines will boost government coffers and make the roads safer, thus lowering health-care costs and taxes for those of us who respect others and obey the laws. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

A natural occurrence Editor: Regarding the transit of coal trains along the White Rock waterfront, I’m not sure how the contents of a coal wagon would cause damage to the marine environment. In coastal mining areas, especially after a storm, lumps of sea coal from underwater coal seams are washed up and can be collected along the beaches. The only damage caused is to the fire grate as sea coal burns with such a fierce heat it distorts the support bars. G. Reid, Surrey

If you do not use dog boots, frequently check the paw pads for cuts and cracks, and clean their paws thoroughly to remove unwanted salts and chemicals. As dogs tend to lick their paws, this will avoid and adverse reactions from ingestion of those substances. Be sure your dog is eating regularly. They use a lot of energy to keep warm in these conditions, and therefore they are burning fuel. While indoors, keep their sleeping areas dry and away from areas with drafts, such as beneath window sills or near doorways. As a result of these few simple measures, Iluka is now a happy winter whippet and enjoys going outside despite the cold. So, enjoy the holiday season, take care of yourselves, take care of each other and remember the dogs, too. Karen N. Klein, Surrey

Lighter side of airport security Editor: On our way back to White Rock from Toronto, I was asked to open my carry-on bag for inspection. The trigger to the security alert was the two lighters in my bag. The security officer said to me: “One lighter is for you, and one lighter is for me.” So he confiscated one lighter out of my bargain at the corner shop, where I had acquired two lighters for the price of one. I was somewhat stunned. Why can I board the plane with one but not two lighters? Besides I also had paper matches. Should there be a security risk in carrying two rather than one lighter on the plane? I stood there somewhat dazed until the light came on and I called the security fellow back to explain the second lighter belonged to my wife. I got the second lighter back. It is certainly not the monetary value that prompted me to tell a lie – as my wife does not smoke and does not own a lighter – but what is this all about? We’re supposed to feel safe with this kind of antics? Gerald Young, White Rock

questions?

Editor: We read a lot these days about user-pay on our roads to help maintain them and to help pay for public transit options. User-pay generally means road tolls or paymentper-km driven, or some other way of getting motorists to cough up more. As a motorist, I am not opposed to paying more to use our roads. However, I think it is important to understand that if we didn’t have good roads already, as a province would we not build and maintain them? We need them for the movement of goods, so there

are jobs for people to get to. We need them for our tourist industry – who will come to B.C. if there are no roads? We need them for our schools and hospitals and our emergency vehicles and all the other uses, besides just people getting back and forth to their jobs or having a nice drive on a Sunday afternoon. Sure, we may all need to pay more. But let’s not try to suggest that the only people who benefit from our network of wonderful roads is the poor sap driving back and forth from work.

David Liu seen on video Dec. 12

New clue in search for man Police searching for a missing White Rock man now know he at least made it to North Vancouver. Const. Shaileshni Molison said Tuesday that video footage shows Hai Tao (David) Liu at a fast-food restaurant near Lonsdale Quay around 12:30 p.m. Dec. 12 – the day he was reported missing. The 43-year-old father of two left his White Rock home around 6:30 a.m. to take public transit. His wife reported him missing after he failed to return. Investigation so far has determined Liu’s bank card was last used on that same day. There has been no activity on his cellphone, which Liu apparently had with him when he left home.

There is no fee for a first offense, but written notice will be sent out advising on the fees for further offenses. A $100 fee will be assessed for the second false alarm; a $300 fee will be assessed for the third false alarm; and, a $500 fee will be assessed for the fourth and subsequent false alarms in any consecutive 12 month period. This bylaw will take effect January 1, 2014.

An hour a day of fitness can be made fun, especially when it is coupled with other healthy choices like eating right. That’s the goal of the 60 Minute Kids’ Club, an engaging online program designed to help elementary schoolaged children get active. The club is now looking to expand its reach by partnering with Peace Arch News’ parent company, Black Press. “Our strong commitment to healthy communities is well-served in our partnership with the 60 Minute Kids’ Club,” said Randy Blair, president of Black Press’ Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island divisions. “The benefits of active families are so numerous, it will deliver increasingly great news”. “We want to make (children being healthy) even more of a community effort,” says Gillian Thody, Western Canada manager of the 60 Minute Kids’ Club. And that means engaging more parents on the importance of making healthy choices. These include physical literacy, eating healthy and cutting back on computer and TV time. Two 60-day challenges and one 45-day challenge are held throughout the school year. The first challenge of the year wrapped up Dec. 1, with the second to begin Jan. 15. Schools can sign up for the challenge at www.60minkidsclub.org Local elementaries already taking part include Hillcrest, Latimer Road, Mary Jane Shannon, Pacific Heights, Port Kells, Ocean Cliff, Rosemary Heights, Cedar Hills, Semiahmoo Trail, Old Yale Road and White Rock Elementary. Each student logs in and tracks personal progress, receiving points for each log in. This enables organizers to determine the most active kids, grades, schools, districts, regions and provinces across Canada. The 60 Minute Kids’ Club originated in 2009 with Innovative Fitness, when 5,000 students participated in a pilot program. For more, visit www.60minkidsclub.org

The 1st Peninsula Rangers after their dive session.

Dive into guiding Members of the 1st Peninsula Rangers are always up for a challenge, and their idea for celebrating their Girl Guide enrolment this year did not disappoint. Leader Jenny Hall – aiming to top last year’s ceremony, which was conducted while zip lining – suggested the unit hold the annual festivities underwater. The girls leapt at the opportunity, took an introductory scuba course and held the ceremony at the bottom of a dive tank. Hall said the girls all learned the basics of scuba diving – including what to do if they lose their regulator underwater

– before swimming into formation for the ceremony, where two second-year Guides enrolled five first-year girls by presenting them with laminated certificates and pins. The ceremony included an underwater handshake and Girl Guide salute. Hall said the girls agreed the ceremony was the best yet, and some committed to pursuing their PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certification. “I don’t think there is anything this group of young ladies wouldn’t try,” Hall said.

Christmas Day tradition continues

Dinner offers holiday cheer Alex Browne Staff Reporter

One of White Rock’s strongest Christmas traditions is the annual Community Christmas Day Dinner at First United Church hall. And all you need to do to be part of it is confirm your reservation, and any need for a ride, by calling Sources Community Resource Society (604-542-4357) by Friday. Guests are expected to arrive around 11:30 a.m. on Christmas Day, with dinner at 12:30 p.m. More than 30 years ago, late city gardener George Bryant – together with architect Chip Barrett and a few like-minded souls – decided that in a community as rich in spirit as White Rock, no one needs to be alone on Christmas Day. And while reasons for attending are as numerous as those who pack the hall each year,

all involved take delight in the turkey dinner prepared by chef Leslie Maudsley and a small army of volunteers. Rev. Joan McMurtry, who each year provides the blessing, said First United Church (at the corner of Centre Street and Buena Vista Avenue) is proud to be host of the event. “Providing a place of welcome and warmth of fellowship on the birthday of a ‘child born in a stable’ is of the essence of our ministry – which is ‘God’s spirit reaching out’,” she said. “What greater way to share in partnership with the community the power of love than coming for Christmas dinner with friends and strangers.” Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg has been a frequent participant over the years, most recently as Santa’s representative, a mantle he took over from Bryant.

Annual production to take on classic tale of Cinderella

King gives panto the royal treatment Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

inderella, opening at Surrey Arts Centre Friday, is guaranteed to be a welcome interlude in the hectic Christmas schedule – a family-oriented oasis of all the colourful costumes and sets, cheery players, antique schtick and groaner gags for which pantomime is known. But it’s also a milestone for its creator, Ellie King, managing artistic director of the Royal Canadian Theatre Company. It’s been 25 years since King – a veteran of British panto productions from childhood – staged her first Canadian version, Sinbad the Sailor, at Vancouver’s Metro Theatre in 1988. Since then, the Christmas pantomime tradition – once almost exclusively based in White Rock – has caught on with theatre companies throughout the Lower Mainland, and King’s own original scripts have been licensed and performed all over B.C. A passionate aficionado and champion of a theatrical entertainment that traces its direct roots back more than 400 years (but draws on traditions dating back to Greco-Roman times) King knows not only what goes into the panto recipe but why and when it was added to the mix. She doesn’t expect audiences, however, to get all the history behind the Irish stew of fairytale, song and dance and masques and harlequinades of centuries gone by. All that’s really required is that they sit back, relax and be entertained by a keen troupe of entertainers from virtually all the Lower Mainland municipalities. This year’s show – which runs in Surrey Dec. 20-29, then goes on to usher in the new year at the ACT Theatre, Maple Ridge (Jan. 2-5) – is a panto perennial. “Cinderella is the most popular pantomime of all the pantomimes, above all others – there are literally hundreds of them,” King said, adding this marks the third production of her version (following shows in 1998 and 2007). “I don’t know quite why – maybe it’s the rags-to-riches element – making good and beating the odds. “It’s also the only panto that has two ‘dames’ in it – and, occasionally, three,” she

Cinderella (Melissa Paras) with stepsisters Atrocia (Alan Cedargreen), Deplorabelle (Mark Manning) and stepmother Grimelda Stoneyborke (Kerri Norris). said, referring to the hard-done-by Cinders’ eternal nemeses, her wicked stepmother and two less-than-appealing stepsisters – usually played, in panto tradition, by men in absurdly over-the-top drag. “Sometimes the stepmom is played by

a man, too, but two men and a woman (RCTC regular Kerri Norris as Grimelda Stoneybroke) playing in combination I think is the best.” Appearing as sisters Atrocia and Deplorabelle are RCTC favourite Alan

Cedargreen and newcomer Mark Manning. “He’s very, very good,” noted King. “Very front and centre.” Other regulars of King’s panto stock company on hand are King’s husband, Geoff, as musical director; keyboardist with percussionist Sheila Rebelato; Norris’ husband, Stephen Elcheshen, reprising his role as Buttons the page, who’s Cinders’ only human friend (two young Elcheshens, daughters Aeron and Cayleigh are also in the cast); and King’s son, James, in his accustomed role as the Demon King, representative of the forces of evil. Ready to battle him for supremacy is Erin Coon – last year’s principal boy in Robinson Crusoe – as the Fairy Godmother. Coon won King’s approbation by heeding the director’s advice that the fairy is also a “tough broad.” “She came out to audition with a Jersey accent,” King laughed. Playing the title role is Melissa Paras, seen to advantage as principal girl in last year’s White Rock pantomime, Pinocchio. “She’s a very nice soprano – a musical theatre grad from Capilano College. She’s adorable and quite funny, too – more Disney than Disney.” Jeremy Glass, last year’s King Neptune, is back as Cinderella’s befuddled father, Baron Stoneybroke, while the show’s two girlboys, Prince Charming and his major domo Dandini are played by Andie Francis and Jackie Bruce. Other historic traditions linger in King’s version, including an exchange that’s been in versions of show since the 19th century (“Your foot wouldn’t fit in the crystal slipper!” “Your foot wouldn’t fit in Crystal Palace!”) and the transformation scene at the end in which principals sport resplendent finale costumes (“it’s the only remaining piece of the Harlequinade,” King noted). But other elements are right up to date, she adds – including topical gag lines that are always a popular part of pantomimes. “Obviously we’re going to hit Rob Ford, and Stephen Harper and the Senate scandal – and the current state of the roads.” For more, visit www.rctheatreco.com

Major Midget team in third place heading into Christmas break

Hawks stung by Rockets on Kelowna trip Rick Kupchuk

Black Press

fter giving the first-place team all they could handle for 120 minutes, the Valley West Hawks left Kelowna with little to show for it. The Hawks, the third-place team in the BC Hockey Major Midget League, were on the road for two games on the weekend, and hoping to creep closer to top spot. But when it was all over, Valley West had instead dropped two close games to the Okanagan Rockets, falling 5-4 Saturday night and 6-4 Sunday morning at the Capital News Centre. One short lapse Saturday might have cost the Hawks their best chance to earn some points on the trip. Valley West rallied from 4-1 down late in the second period to pull

even with the Rockets by the midway point of the third. After Okanagan scored three times in four minutes to break a 1-1 tie and take a threegoal lead with three minutes to go in the second period, Matt Bradley of Surrey cut the difference to two goals before the second intermission, then completed his hat trick nine minutes into the third period. A minute later, Surrey’s Trevor Ayre netted a tying goal for the Hawks. The Rockets then frustrated the visitors by scoring the winner with 48 seconds to play. In Sunday’s game, the Hawks again battled the league’s first-place team for 60 minutes, only to finish with nothing to show for it despite another huge offensive effort from Bradley.

The two teams traded goals 10 seconds apart midway through the first period, with Eric Callegari of Langley scoring the Valley West goal with an assist to Bradley. Bradley found the net six minutes into the second period, but his goal was sandwiched by two by the Rockets, giving the home team a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes. By the midway point of the third period, the Hawks had surged into a 4-3 lead. Bradley tied the game 29 seconds into the final frame with his second goal of the game, then assisted on Cloverdale native Jordan Funk’s go-ahead goal five minutes later. Okanagan pulled even with 11 minutes to play, went up 5-4 on a shorthanded goal with seven minutes to go, then added a powerplay marker with five seconds left on the clock.

The winless weekend comes on the heels of a successful two-game set the week prior, when the Hawks took three of a possible four points from the Cariboo Cougars at the Langley Sportsplex on Dec. 7-8. In the first game against Cariboo, Valley West upended the visitors 5-3, and the following day, came from behind in the rematch to earn a 1-1 tie. In the Dec. 7 victory, the game was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes, with Callegari scoring the Hawks’ lone marker. In the second frame, the teams exchanged goals, with Funk scoring for the Hawks. In the third, the Cougars went up 3-2 with eight minutes remaining in the game, but Valley West responded the three i see page 29

Mariners 2nd at Southridge

Nick Greenizan photo

Earl Marriott defenders Reed Weins and Rhys McMartin box in a Delview player during a Winter Storm game Friday.

The Earl Marriott Mariners were the highest-placing Surrey team at Southridge’s annual Winter Storm junior boys tournament last weekend. The Mariners placed second, falling to St. Thomas More 86-73 in the championship game Saturday evening. Prior to the final, Earl Marriott snuck by the St. George’s Saints 60-59 in semifinals. Earlier in the tournament, the Mariners, thanks to a strong second half, beat Delview 67-47 Friday, and in their opener Thursday, crushed Khalsa 64-21. Queen Elizabeth was the next-best Surrey school, placing fourth, while the hosts from Southridge were eighth.

Santa looking to swap outdated ride for super economy sleigh NORTH POLE - Driveway can exclusively reveal that Santa Claus has been visiting local dealerships kicking tires—ahem, rails—in his search for a new ride. Ever conscious of the increasing cost of gas and effect his multi-million-kilometre Christmas flight has on the environment, Santa seems to have opted for 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon for his next sleigh. The wagon promises a fuel economy of 7.84 L/100 kms fuel economy,which means the sleigh will be kinder to the environment than his current means of transporting gifts to the world’s children. As an added benefit, the EcoBoost engine – which is finely tuned for high-speed performance – would offer speeds much faster than Santa ever travelled in his former 36-hoofpowered sleigh. The expected upgrade comes as a record number of children earn spots on the “nice” list, increasing the payload weight of his bag of gifts beyond the normal tow rating of his nine-reindeer team. Santa told me that changing his mode of transportation will not compromise his ability to remain true to his mission. “My goal is and always has been

Every year, the process more effective,” flying animals travel he says. “Let’s face it, 200,194,557 kms and every year there are more they’d like some time to children who earn presrest, he says, explaining ents.

allow him to keep a close eye on his gifts in the second and third row. From its 60/40 three-passenger second-row bench seat through fold-flat second- and third-row seating with third-row independent fore-and-aft sliding capability, the wagon quickly adapts to accommodate multiple combinations of elves and presents. The MyKey programmable ignition key restricts maximum speed should a mischievous elf get behind the wheel while Claus is down a chimney leaving gifts. With eight cupholders, Claus and his elves would have plenty of space to take along a few glasses of milk as they continue through their busy night. Rain-sensing wipers would keep Claus on the move, as there’s always a chance he’ll encounter nasty weather. “As always, we are busy making toys and checking long lists,” says Santa. “That said, Merry Christmas to all!” Of course, Mrs. Claus will have the final say on this purchase because, as any dealership owner will tell you, women make the final decision in 80 per cent of new vehicle purchases. Keep your eyes peeled Tuesday night to see if Santa got his Christmas wish. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Mitsubishi Mirage:

affordable fuel efficiency By Zack Spencer 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage Even though we have high fuel prices in Canada, the trend is away from small fuelefficient cars to larger vehicles. Subcompact and even compact sales are down but sales of small SUVs and even mid-sized vehicles are up. There are a couple of things at play here. The first is the stronger (not so much in the last two months) Canadian dollar over the last several years that has allowed carmakers to jam more content into their cars and often the retail price has dropped too. The second is that vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient, so buying a slightly bigger car isn’t much of a hardship. With this as a backdrop, it is interesting to see that Mitsubishi has introduced a three-cylinder fuel saving car at the smallest end of the market.

Looks The Mirage is sold in two trim levels; the base starts at $12,498 and comes pretty sparsely equipped. It’s a small car with a little price tag. The much bigger Nissan Versa is cheaper at $11,898 and has buckets more power. The car that most people will choose is the Mirage SE with many more goodies

but the price jumps dramatically to $15,398 and with the automatic transmission it lands at $16,598. At this price, there are plenty of options in the subcompact class. Styling is not what I would call eye-catching.

PURCHASE PRICE INCLUDES $7,000 CONSUMER CASH * AND FREIGHT.

Inside On the plus side, the Mirage SE does come nicely equipped. The front driver’s seat has adjustments and both front seats have very good seat heaters that bring your backside up to the appropriate temperature in short order. The back seat is small and the rear cargo area is what one might expect from a little car. But this vehicle does not live in a vacuum. The Nissan Versa Note is massive in comparison and for $1,700 more has push button start and even a backup camera.

By Alexandra Straub Looking for the perfect gift for the car lover in your life? – I am too. In the search for some cool swag, here are a few places you can stop by or check out online for some unique pieces of automotive goodness. Blipshift.com ($15.00 + shipping) Direct from the website, it says, “Blipshift brings you high quality, limited edition auto-enthusiast focused shirts for just $15. Each shirt is available for only a few days before it is towed off to the crusher, never to be printed again.” If you want to torture yourself and see some amazing designs from weeks past, you can do so by scrolling through the different pages. Sometimes, there are extras in specific designs so you might just be in luck. blipshift.com Carry all for the Motorcycle: Ogio Rig 9800 Rolling Luggage Bag $250 (approx.) For anyone carrying motorcycle gear frequently, this is a fabulous bag. I recently purchased one and I love it. It fits both my motocross gear (big, chunky boots), pants, shirt, elbow and knee pads and my one-piece leather racing suit, track boots, gloves AND a helmet. Yes, there’s a specific area to put your helmet. I checked it in at the airport and there were no issues. It’s heavy duty, and has handles at very convenient spots. The kicker? It can stand upright by itself. It’s pricey but worth the investment. ogio.com Wilkinson Automobilia (Various prices) Need a book, DVD, poster or die cast model? Chances are Wilkinson Automobilia will have it. With unique items in store every day, it really is a place where any car lover could spend most of their pay cheques. Should you not live in the Lower Mainland, fear not, they have an online store, which is eautomobilia.com There are items there that appeal to both four and two-wheel enthusiasts. A Visit to the Spa (for your Car. Various prices) It’s a good feeling when you’re feeling clean. And we all know that winter is not a season that promotes spotlessness. With salt on the roads, grime hanging around, and foreign objects getting stuck to your vehicle, you’d wonder how a bath can even help. Well, it does. Washing it cleans off the salt that covers the roads and can help prevent corrosion. And on the inside, think of what your boots bring in. A trip to the spa prevents stains from totally setting in and

can leave your car smelling good, too. Whether getting just a quick treatment or the full shebang, your ride will thank you for it.

drivewayBC.ca Small engine works hard to perform › from page 31 Drive What this little car was designed to do is deliver impressive fuel economy. This is achieved by placing a 3-cylinder engine under the hood and matching it to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission. With just 74hp, this car is way down on power compared to the rest of the subcompact set, even the Fiat 500 has 101hp and the Nissan Versa has 109hp. This combination of small packaging and small engine deliver a rating of

5.3L/100km in the city and 4.4L on the highway. The problem with such a small engine is that it often needs to be pushed hard to accelerate. Ask this car to perform and it’s an experience filled with noise and vibration.

Verdict With a low starting price and potentially good fuel economy the basic Mirage has a place for a buyer who wants a basic runabout that sips gas but if the trend away from small cars is any indication, that will be a small number. zack@drivewaybc.ca

Readers voice

speed pros and cons By Keith Morgan Driveway readers have the final word on the posted speed limit poll, conducted in partnership with Insights West. In that survey it was revealed that 37 percent of those polled believe a higher than 100 km/h limit should be posted on our major highways. The provincial government’s current review of speed limits has already prompted much public discussion, much of which seemed to support the hiking of limits. With that in mind, we were surprised that the poll showed that 55 per cent believed speed limits should be left alone. Here’s further reaction posted online by readers. For an increase in limits: Kmac: Excessive speed, texting and using a cell phone while driving, driver in attention and driving too fast for the road &/or weather conditions kills. The minimal increase in the speed limits you suggest make sense efi1936: I think that the Coquihalla should be 130 km/h and the rural part of Highway 1 120km/h. lyle: As stated in your column, it is only excessive speed that kills. However, if two drivers were driving side by side at 100 km/h there would be mass frustration and more accidents. CaryAnn: I think the majority of drivers driving today are totally conscious of their vehicle and surroundings and are very capable of handling the higher speeds. DriveSmart: Maybe the new limit should be displayed on new variable signs so that it can be adjusted downward in darkness and poor driving conditions. 28speedster: Here we are in the 21st century driving at the same or lower speed limits than we did with cars in the 1950s with bias ply tires on two-lane highways. New cars, tires, roads are

engineered for much higher speeds. A higher speed limit will require drivers to pay attention to their driving. Mark: Being from Germany and having driven faster and safely on the Autobahn, I say it’s about time. When I took my driver’s test, part of the test was on the Autobahn and you had to go 130km/h (weather and local speed limit permitting) NOT to get points against you. Comments against an increase: Dwsolber: Some drivers have trouble driving safely at current posted speeds. Increasing the speed limits will only increase risk to all road users. Dick: Do not increase speed, what the heck is the hurry? (99 out of 100 already go way faster than the posted speed. Make your ride safe and enjoy the scenery.) Leah99: Wildlife (and domestic pets), pedestrians and vehicles driven by lawabiding people are put at risk by speeders as it is. Donna: There are enough accidents at 110 without increasing the risks. Snazzy: Speeds above 90km/h greatly increase fuel consumption. In addition to lower speeds being safer for drivers, wildlife, it is also important that we consider the planet, and reduce our use of fossil fuels. Rosemary: In B.C.’s interior, there are many hazardous roads and bad weather conditions, but drivers in general ignore them. If you ‘up’ the speed limit, they will ‘up’ the speeding... What ever happened to safe driving? Like reducing speed at night when visibility is reduced? Brian: People already drive 10 to 20 above the speed limit . . . if you raise to 120 they will go up to 140. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

She was intelligent, engaging, unselfish, wickedly funny and divinely sweet. To have known her a little was a delight. To have known her well, a treasure beyond reckoning. And so now, for many of us, a loss beyond measure. Many thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Peace Arch Hospital ICU and Burnaby Hospital ICU, and to her family and friends for their love and support.
