Mother killed outside Newton Arena, as police see pattern in earlier attack at bus loop

Vigilance urged as police hunt killer Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey RCMP are issuing a public warning after a 53-year-old woman was fatally attacked while waiting to pick up her teenage son outside Newton Arena last week. Julie Paskall – a longtime volunteer with Surrey Minor Hockey – was waiting in the parking lot for her 16-yearold son, a referee, at 9:30 p.m. Dec. 29,

when someone clubbed her in the head and beat her with a blunt object. She succumbed Tuesday. Police believe the killer, who is still at large, may be the same person who attacked a woman getting off a bus at the Newton bus exchange on Dec. 16. Surrey RCMP did not issue a news release about the earlier attack because they didn’t believe it was severe enough or represented a trend.

Following last week’s fatality, members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have issued repeated appeals for witnesses. “We have received a substantial amount of tips – over 30 – which we are very grateful for,” said IHIT Sgt. Adam MacIntosh. “Some of those tips are going to lead to advance the investigation and some are not, it’s the simple nature of the beast.”

A command post was set up at the Newton Arena on Thursday, and on the weekend, posters were distributed. “Due to the circumstances of this tragic incident, we are asking the public to be extra vigilant,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said. “It is important that people are aware of their surroundings when they are out and that they keep their valuables concealed. i see page 4

Victim Amritpal Saran’s sister, Simrit, and mother, Jatinder, attend an IHIT news conference Monday to announce suspects were arrested last week.

Charred remains found last February, followed by two women a week apart in August

Surrey man charged in three deaths Police have announced charges against a Surrey man in connection with three separate murders – one in Surrey and two in New Westminster – last year. Sarbjit Bains has been charged in connection with the deaths of Jill Lyons and Karen Nabors, both found dead in a New Westminster apart-

ment in August, and Amritpal Saran, whose charred remains were found on Colebrook Road in Surrey in February 2013. According to court documents, three murder charges were sworn last week against Bains, 32. He faces two first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing Lyons and Nabors, and

second-degree murder and interference with a dead body charges in relation to Saran’s death. A woman, Evelina Urbaniak, 36, is also charged with accessory after the fact and interference with a dead body for her alleged role in Saran’s death. i see page 2

A Surrey man who has served 16 months of a four-year jail sentence for molesting a boy has been denied full and day parole because he still poses a risk to society. The man – who can only be identified as R.R.B. due to a publication ban – admitted in 2012 to sexually assaulting a minor. Two other charges of sexual exploitation involving two boys were stayed. Though R.R.B. had been identified repeatedly in media coverage, an appeal decision last May banned publication of his name because his victim was a family friend. During his trial, the court heard that R.R.B. molested the child for at least five years. The abuse ended when the boy was 14 and his mother discovered sexually explicit text-message conversations on her son’s cellphone. A Parole Board of Canada decision dated Dec. 17, 2013 said R.R.B. scored well on tests assessing recidivism, but his case-management team views him at a higher risk. “When one considers your repeated offending over multiple years, reports of additional victims i see page 4

Autumn Speidel, born Jan. 1.

Peace Arch Hospital’s first baby of the new year is Autumn Speidel, born to parents Jasmine and Andrew of Langley. Autumn, weighing in at eight pounds, was born at 4:07 on the morning of Jan. 1. Both mother and daughter are resting at home. Andrew, who manages the General Paint store in Fleetwood, said he and Jasmine – a special-education assistant with Surrey School District – knew there was “a slight chance” that Autumn could be a New Year’s baby, because her due date was Dec. 31. Jasmine started having contractions the day before, he said, and started going into labour shortly before midnight on New Year’s Eve.

i from page 1 Several family members of all three victims were present at Monday’s news conference, as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced the charges. Police said at the time of Saran’s murder that he was known to police, but had no known gang associations. His burned remains were found near 121 Street and

Colebrook Road on Feb. 24. It was Surrey’s eighth homicide of a record 25 homicides in the city last year. Nabors, 48, and Lyons, 45, were found dead in the same apartment complex in the 200-block of 11 Street in New Westminster on different days in August. The two, who knew each other, both worked as online escorts.

49 officers redeployed in wake of Surrey homicide, showing need for independent White Rock: mayor

Police shift ‘backs separate detachment’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s mayor says a mass redeployment of Surrey police officers to Whalley and Newton only strengthens his resolve to retain his city’s police detachment. The 49-officer shift was announced by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts Friday, in an update on her newly formed Mayor’s Task Force on Causal Factors, which is looking into that city’s 2013 murders. The announcement followed the Dec. 31 death of 53-year-old Julie Paskall, who died two days after she was brutally beaten during a robbery outside Newton Arena.

Wayne Baldwin told Peace Arch News he emailed his White Rock council members and city manager Saturday after learning of the officer redeployment, to remind them of what the city stands to lose in an amalgamation. “If we had been merged with Surrey, you know where a lot of those 49 would have been redeployed from,” he writes. Baldwin reiterated to PAN that he has no doubt amalgamation would result in reduced police coverage for the seaside city. “They would go to where the trouble areas are. That’s what you do: you take your forces and you concentrate them in the trouble areas and try and deal with that,” he said.

In his email, Baldwin predicts South Surrey residents will pay for the increased focus on Newton and Whalley, through a reduced police presence “for the next couple of months, or more.” White Rock’s policing costs, particularly those for integrated teams, were cited last month as argument in favour of amalgamating the two forces, but Baldwin said he’s “not convinced” there would be financial advantages to such a merger. Not only would residents lose the “no-calltoo-small” service they currently enjoy, but they would likely pay more for the service than their Surrey neighbours.

“Since our assessed value is relatively high compared to most of Surrey, we’re going to be paying a way higher cost than anyone else in Surrey, for the same coverage,” he said. “I just don’t see it being a really viable alternative.” In his email, Baldwin describes maintaining White Rock’s detachment as “our best defence against the crime migrating from Newton into White Rock.” “There is a price to be paid for controlling your own resources, and within reason it is necessary to pay that price in order to maintain your standards – particularly when it comes to something as important to people as personal safety.”

Man arrested, released

Woman falls 26 storeys Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Homicide officers are investigating after a young woman fell 26 storeys to her death in North Surrey last Wednesday. However, as of Peace Arch News’ deadline Monday, it had yet to be determined whether the fatality was a homicide. The 19-year-old victim was identified as Maurine Arogie, also known as Maurine Rinny. While not much is listed about her publicly on her Facebook site, Arogie was named as “student of the month” in December 2013 at Guildford Learning Centre. At 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Arogie plunged from a Whalley highrise at 9938 Whalley Blvd., near the King George SkyTrain Station. Arogie had called her father earlier saying she was being beaten, Black Press has learned. A family member then called Surrey RCMP. When officers Maurine Arogie arrived, they saw victim her falling from the tower. A 23-year-old man was arrested at the scene, but was released the next day without being charged. “At this time we have not determined enough evidence to support laying a charge,” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team “That doesn’t mean that there won’t be charges, it just means the investigation is not complete.” Investigators have spoken with neighbours and several people who were in the 26th floor apartment that evening. MacIntosh would not say whether others were with Arogie and the 23-year-old man in the apartment at the time of her fall. “Our goal is to find out exactly what occurred, in the hours, minutes and moments leading to her death,” he said.

Fatality among series of Surrey fires Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Following a fatal house fire in Fleetwood last Thursday – in which an elderly woman died and seven others were injured – Surrey fire crews had their hands full Saturday, after two house fires broke out in the space of six hours. Fortunately, no injuries to people were reported in either blaze, both of which remain under investigation. However, a dog and cat belonging to residents of a South Surrey rancher remain unaccounted for. “(We) have not been able to locate the single dog and single cat that were in the residence,” deputy Chief Dan Barnscher said Monday. “The owners know that they left them in the house, so we don’t know if they escaped and haven’t returned or what.” Barnscher said crews were alerted to that fire – in the 16300-block of 48 Avenue – at about 11:30 a.m. Jan. 4. The longtime elderly residents were not home when it broke out, and the rancher was fully engulfed when fire crews arrived, he said. “Anywhere in South Surrey you would have noticed a large column of smoke going up.” Barnscher said the fact the property is located in a “no-water district” – meaning water to fight the blaze had to be trucked in – did not

impact the outcome of the fire. Five tankers relayed a steady flow to the site, using a system that is put into play anytime crews are called to a fire in a no-water area, he said. The second fire, which erupted just after 5 p.m. in the 12600-block of 69 Avenue, destroyed a two-storey house and left two families homeless. “We had a roof collapse on that one,” Barnscher said. “But everyone was able to get out of the house.” Barnscher said fire investigators were at both sites Monday in an effort to confirm what caused them. A focus in both investigations is

to determine if smoke alarms were in place and if they were, whether they were working. He noted there were no functioning smoke alarms in the home at 8860 146A St. where a senior died last Thursday. A child was among those injured in the early-morning blaze. “They’re extremely hard lessons to learn,” he said, noting that not only should smoke detectors be installed in every home, they should be tested on a monthly basis. Cause of the Fleetwood fire has also not yet been pinpointed, however, Barnscher said it started in the upstairs area and “may have been from an open flame,” such as candles.

Residents call for police presence i from page 1 “Walk with a friend whenever possible, particularly after dark.” The warning is doing little to calm the nerves of some residents, who say there needs to be more done from a policing perspective, particularly by way of bike and foot patrols near the Newton bus exchange near 72 Avenue and King George Boulevard. Mayor Dianne Watts agrees the exchange has been a “problematic area for quite some time.” She said she has spoken at length with TransLink to ensure transit police are aware of issues at the station. The city has also asked that the transit exchange be moved to the King George corridor, making it more visible. Newton residents were expected to be pressing for answers to the community’s crime problems at a

Paskall’s family – including her son, husband and two adult daughters – is deeply grieving the tragedy but wants to express appreciation to the community for its support, said Bill Hoadley. Hoadley – a family friend and co-worker of Paskall’s husband – said a trust fund has been set up to accept donations to support the family during this difficult time and cover additional expenses. All Vancity Credit Union branches will accept donations marked for “Paskall Family Trust.” Police are asking anyone with information or who was in the area of the Newton Arena, Newton bus loop or the Newton Wave Pool, between 7 and 11 p.m. on Dec. 29, to call the IHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca

PHARMACY

Peninsula properties rule list

Pure Integrative Pharmacy 111 - 15388 24th Avenue, South Surrey (White Rock)

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

When it comes to property value, South Surrey and White Rock addresses more than top the chart for the South Fraser region. They rule it. On a list of the region’s 100 highest residential property values released Thursday by the BC Assessment Authority, addresses on the Semiahmoo Peninsula clinch all but five of the spots. The stronghold is maintained through the first 38 on the list, then broken at the $4.6 million mark by three Delta properties. The five top-valued homes are all in the Ocean Park/West Sunnyside neighbourhood, with 2165 123 St. leading the charge, assessed at $10,546,000 for 2014. It’s followed by 2021 Indian Fort Dr., which has been assessed at $10,421,000; 2189 123 St. ($7,742,000); 13555 27 Ave.

($7,062,000); and 2063 Indian Fort Dr. ($6,638,000). It’s unlikely that anyone wideeyed at those values will find solace in the list detailing the province’s Top 500 valued properties. On that, the first Peninsula address (2165 123 St.) appears at #181; the second-ranked local home is 464th in B.C. Topping the B.C. list is a property in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood, assessed at $54,206,000. The next three properties are all in Point Grey, valued at $46,023,000, $28,624,000 and $25,557,000. Eleven White Rock properties are in the South Fraser’s Top 100, with the highest-valued of those lots – at 14971 Prospect Ave. – assessed at $6,527,000. Overall, the 2014 assessment rolls show a slight growth in total property values in most regions of B.C., with modest increases across

most of the Lower Mainland. Total residential property value in Surrey-White Rock increased by 1.98 per cent over 2013 (to $78.7 billion from $77.2 billion). The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) – which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta – said its benchmark detached-house price was up 1.9 per cent to $549,500 in December from a year ago. Townhouses declined one per cent to $293,300 and apartments dropped 3.7 per cent to $192,600. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said its composite benchmark price for detached houses climbed 2.5 per cent during the year to $927,000. Apartments were up 1.8 per cent to $367,800 and attached units were up 1.2 per cent to $456,100. Assessments for regions and individual properties are available at www.bcassessment.ca

Fear reduction

he deaths of a hockey mom who succumbed to her injuries following a horrendous attack and a young woman who fell from a highrise after reporting she was being assaulted – both in Surrey – are the kind of tragedies that leave all of us angry, scrambling for answers, or some reassurance. But are any answers, any assurances, better than none at all? In the wake of the most recent incidents, Mayor Dianne Watts was quick to convene another meeting of the task force she established, more than a year ago, to address perceptions of a burgeoning violent crime problem in the city. Some may question how meaningful such attempts to provide leadership have been, in light of the most recent tragedies. In fairness, such criticism is as easy – and devoid of substance – as the most glib political response in the face of tragedy. The fact is, there are no easy answers when dealing with the aftermath of violent crime. The only ones in our society charged with separating fact from supposition in such cases are police professionals, and even when their investigations are complete – sometimes years afterward – the wisest would be loath to say they have all the answers. Such issues, let’s face it, are well beyond the grasp – and powers – of most elected officials, no matter how passionate their “tough on crime” pronouncements. Faced with public frustration, they feel an understandable need to reassure us that the problems are being tackled and that answers will be forthcoming, even when they have no clue how this will be accomplished. But while we should, rightfully, be wary of spurious and easy platitudes from politicians, so, too, should we be wary of spurious and easy criticism. “Let’s put a copper on every corner,” arguments may sound good in the mouths of demagogues, but they are not realistic nor responsible, fiscally speaking. We demand better from our elected representatives, even if we don’t always get it. The bitter truth we must face is that in the real, imperfect world, true leadership is rare – some would say almost impossible. In its absence, anything calculated to reduce public fear and anguish, in a time of stress, may be the next best thing.

2014 by selectively seizing on reports of a new study of mercury contamination in northern Alberta. A “bullseye” of this dreaded neurotoxin has been drawn around oilsands operations by measuring traces in snow. The study by Environment Canada scientists isn’t published yet, but Postmedia News reported on a presentation in November by the researchers. “The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low compared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,” the news report states. This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propaganda and fed to the news media last year. This is another group of neurotoxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry. Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions. I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake. Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada. You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amalgam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

I have lost my empathy

Season of giving

Editor: As I was watching the news story about a woman brutally murdered in Newton a few days ago, something inside me broke. All my life I have tried to be empathetic to the plights of others, including drug addicts. I have relentlessly defended them as victims of circumstance and society, abuse and neglect, probably mental illness. Watching the story of how, why and where Julie Paskall was murdered for a few dollars, I felt sad, and then I felt a consuming rage. How did our society get to the point where drug addicts and derelicts have more rights than lawabiding citizens who contribute to the communities they live in? They take what they want, and give nothing. They steal, maim, destroy and murder, yet they walk freely about because heaven forbid we force treatment on them. They have the right to choose. I say no they do not. Not anymore. Our communities have put up with too much from this small section of society, and we have paid a high price. It’s time to stitch up our bleeding hearts and make the tough decisions for these people that they are clearly unable to make for themselves. Sadly, I have lost my empathy. Beatrice Jakob, White Rock

Editor: On the last day of 2013, I had only 15 minutes to find a costume for an outing that evening before the ‘Sally Ann’ closed. I sought the opinion of a fellow female shopper, and took her advice. Hurriedly, I paid for my purchases as I was rushed out of the store so they could close on time. Walking across the parking lot, my husband and I heard a woman calling to us. It was the same woman who had helped inside the store. This total stranger had driven five minutes to her home and back again, on the off chance that she would still find us there. She had in her hands, two peacock feathers, with which our costumes could be completed. I did not get her name so I cannot send her a thank you card. She went above and beyond in helping two strangers

to have a fun and successful New Year’s Eve. Thank you, kind and anonymous angel. Pamela Vandeyck, Surrey Q Grey clouds covered the sky on Christmas morning seemingly symbolizing my dark mood as I prepared to host a traditional dinner for our extended family. Normally a joyful occasion, this Christmas would be bittersweet, as I faced the reality that for an elderly relative joining us it could be her last. Unfortunately, this past year has been filled far too often with sad news of aging friends and relatives dealing with life-threatening illnesses. These events have also forced me to reluctantly address the sobering fact of my own mortality. With the turkey safely in the oven, I felt a walk by the ocean might be just the thing to lift my spirits before everyone arrived. As I headed down the hill and along the pier with my husband, the sky brightened and rays of sunlight emerged from behind the clouds gently touching the water, transforming it from a dull grey to

Added cost of health care Editor: Re: PAH parking seems profitdriven, Dec. 31 letters. I am in total agreement with the letter writer. For the past 13 months, we have been feeding the cash-cow machines at both Peace Arch Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency parking lot at Surrey Memorial Hospital. We are well over $500 for the year, and there will be more to come. I’ve lost count of the number of times that I’ve had to leave my ailing husband and dash out to add more time and money – and “dashing out” at my age is not an easy thing to do. Letter-writer Heather Wintermeyer suggested Impark put pay stations inside the hospital to make it easier for patients to add time and money. It would take away the stress of worrying that your car will be ticketed. I don’t have a problem with pay parking, but it is totally unfair that people who are there for treatment have to pay such exorbitant fees. One solution would be to charge visitors for parking, but not patients and their care-givers. Too logical? Jean Scarfe, Surrey

a sparkling blue. How could I be so downhearted when faced with such beauty? Still, my spirits were low. At that moment, a young man approached us and asked if we could take a picture of him with his girlfriend, a common request in this beautifully scenic city by the sea. Then he asked for a second shot, and as my husband aimed the iPhone again, the young man suddenly produced a ring from his pocket, reached for the lovely young woman’s hand and to her surprise, and ours, placed it on her finger. What an uplifting moment. What an honour to be part of such a special occasion. We wished them all the happiness in the world and, as I walked away with my husband of 50-plus years, my eyes filled with tears of joy. If only that beautiful young couple could know what an unexpected gift they had given me on Christmas day when I was feeling so sad. They gave me hope in the future and trust in the wonderful circle of life, of which we are all a part. Beth Ellis, Surrey

Coal exposure not a health issue Editor: Re: ‘There’s no going back,’ Dec. 31. I would like to briefly explain to your readers why the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Canada and other unions support – not oppose – the Fraser Surrey Docks expansion proposal. Our union respects the right of residents such as Paula Williams of Communities and Coal to disagree, but our members believe this is a safe project that will create the jobs and investment that help fund needed health care, education and other social programs. Perhaps most importantly, I can tell your readers that if our members’ health were adversely affected by coal or exposure to dust, we would know – and we would be the first to demand action. Safety is a primary concern for the ILWU Canada and we believe that measures taken to limit and reduce coal dust exposure to far below levels established by government ensure that our members have safe workplaces where coal is loaded. We can say with certainty that coal dust and exposure have simply not appeared in our members as a health issue – even though they are the workers closest to the coal-handling process. Many of our over 3,000 members in B.C. and their families are also residents of White Rock, Surrey and Delta who live near the rail lines and port facilities where they work. We agree with the Fraser Surrey Docks environmental impact assessment, by experts such as Dr. Leonard Ritter, professor emeritus of toxicology at the University of Guelph’s School of Environmental Sciences. That

study shows that many complaints by environmental groups and others are misinformed or exaggerated. The study states: “The project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental, socio-economic or health effects, taking into account the implementation of the main risk-mitigation measures described above, in addition to mitigation measures, construction and operation management plans, best management and standard practices.” These conclusions match our experience in safely transporting coal for over 40 years in B.C. That’s important because the mining and export of B.C. metallurgical coal for steel manufacturing in other countries is a critical part of our economy, as is transportation of thermal coal. The coal sector provides good, family-supporting jobs for thousands of workers who, along with their employers, pay municipal, provincial and federal taxes. Overall, coal creates 26,000 direct and indirect jobs, $3.2 billion in economic activities and $715 million in tax revenues for the province and B.C. municipalities every year. Our union, the United Steelworkers, the International Union of Operating Engineers, the BC Building Trades and other unions involved in the coal sector have all supported the Fraser Surrey Docks project. Together we represent more than 50,000 workers in B.C. When those who oppose the project are quoted, it would be helpful that those who are in support are also recognized and asked for comment in the future. Mark Gordienko, ILWU Canada

Understanding gifted children

Bird spotting a rare ‘treat’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

ou can’t always tell the gifts by the wrappings they arrive in. That can be especially true of gifted children – one of the flip sides of a special ability can often be a disability, such as ADHD or Asberger’s. Their highly individual strengths can also be misinterpreted, pigeonholing them as ‘problem’ children. And in many cases, emotional levels don’t match intellectual levels – leading to further challenges at home and at school. “That’s actually known as asynchronous development,” said South Surrey resident Niovi Patsicakis, a retired teacher and educational consultant who, together with Learning Disabilities specialist Marian Mahony, is starting a support group for parents of gifted children in Surrey, White Rock and Langley. The first sign-up meeting for the 10-session SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) Model Parent Group will be held Alex Browne photo Thursday, Jan. 9 at 6:30 p.m. Niovi Patsicakis (left) and Marian Mahony – both mothers of gifted children – have started a at the Cloverdale Recreation support group for parents in White Rock, Surrey and Langley to share experiences and advice.

BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB SALE ON NOW!

Viveka Ohman is willing to wait, if that’s what it takes to spot a glimpse of a mountain bluebird – but she’s hoping she won’t have to. One of the tiny thrushes found its way onto the local-area record books of the Christmas Bird Count for the first time this year, when a female of the species was seen in Blaine, Wash. “I would sit and wait an hour to see these guys,” Ohman, co-ordinator of the local effort, said last Tuesday. “Hopefully, I don’t have to wait that long. “If you can get the exact location of the bird and if you’re patient and wait there, you can kind of pitch them out – make a funny sound and they’ll pop out. They’re quite curious by nature.” The bluebird was among 126 species logged by volunteers Dec. 29, when they scoured a ‘count circle’ 24 kilometres in diametre looking for all manner of feathered friends. The results – tabulated annually and combined with those from more than 2,100 other count circles across the Americas – help researchers and conservationists track the health and trends of the various bird populations. It’s an effort that began in the early 1900s. The local circle covers all of the Semiahmoo Peninsula, stretches to Port Kells and Fleetwood, drops down to Blaine and goes east to 232 Avenue. Ohman said the actual number of birds logged won’t be finalized for a couple of weeks, as results continue to come in. Other highlights of the day included a flock of western meadowlarks, large numbers of varied thrushes, a Harris’ sparrow and a large number of Anna’s hummingbirds. Ohman said not so long ago, count participants would be lucky to add even one of the hummingbirds to their records. Their numbers are increasing due to an increase in people feeding them in the wintertime, she said. Ohman described the bird count as a highlight of the Christmas season. “You recognize that there’s other little beings out there,” she said. “It’s a treat.”

The holiday season can be a whirlwind of activity that culminates in lavish celebrations and, for many children, an extended vacation from school. But when the excitement of the holiday has ended, children must return to the classroom, an adjustment that is not always so easy. Parents and teachers may have to work together to help youngsters get back on track, and the following are few ways to do just that. â&#x20AC;˘ Enforce typical bedtimes. As the season wears on, parents should gradually return their households to their normal routines. A gradual transition back to an earlier bed time will have kids accustomed to going to bed and rising early once more. â&#x20AC;˘ Cut down on play time. On the heels of the holiday season, children love to test out all of their new toys and games. Consider giving kids some brainboosting puzzles or encourage them to read books. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage kids to work on winter school projects. Teachers recognize the importance of a winter break for students, but some still assign work over the holiday break. This can help keep kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds sharp while ensuring that their work gets done. Once the holiday season has come and gone, children may be not look forward to returning to school. But parents can employ a few strategies to make the transition back to the classroom go more smoothly.

Petan, a North Delta resident whose family now resides on the Peninsula, was a key member of the national under-20 team that was aiming for the podium in Malmo, Sweden. Despite a one-game hiccup against the Czech Republic in pool play – which Canada lost 5-4 in a shootout – the Canadian squad had a strong showing in their division, knocking off Slovakia and the U.S. along the way. In quarterfinals, Canada defeated Switzerland 4-1, Nic Petan but they were eliminated Team Canada from gold-medal contention the following day, losing 5-1 to the eventual champions from Finland. On Sunday, Canada lost 2-1 to Russia in the bronze-medal game. The semifinal ouster was not a banner game for Petan nor his teammates, as they struggled on offence, and also with penalties. Petan himself sat for 10 minutes at the end of the second period and early in the third after he was issued a 10-minute misconduct for abuse of officials, after he appeared to say something to a referee after he was stopped on a scoring chance by Finnish netminder Juuse Saros. “Personally I thought it was a terrible call,” Petan told the media after the game. “I didn’t say anything out of line. That’s just the way it goes here, I guess.” Petan was one of Canada top forwards throughout the tournament. His best game of the event – which began Boxing Day – came in Canada’s 5-3 win over Slovakia on Dec. 30. In the game, the Portland Winterhawks sniper, a draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets, scored twice – including the winning goal – and added an assist. The loss to Russia in the bronze-medal game makes it two years in a row that Canada – which once dominated the tournament – has failed to win a medal, and it’s been five years since they won gold.

Eagles i from page 15 Vees. The three-goal first period chased Cowichan’s starting goaltender, Robin Gusse, from the game, as he was replaced by backup Francis Marotte for the final 40 minutes. The visiting Capitals made a comeback in the middle frame, scoring twice – both by Dane Gibson – while Brett Mulcahy replied for the Eagles. In the third period, it was the Eagles scoring twice, as Sandler and Pierog each notched their second goals of the game, while Cowichan’s Clint Filbrandt popped in a power-play goal. Eagles goalie Devon Fordyce stopped 25 shots for the win. Saturday’s game against the first-place Rivermen did not go nearly as well for the Birds, however. Langley got on the board first with a goal from Kevan Killistoff, and the two clubs traded goals later in the period, with Conti scoring his first as an Eagle, followed by Matt Utaski replying for the Rivermen. The rest of the game was controlled by Langley, as the home squad scored twice in the second – off the sticks of Jakob Reichert and James Robinson – and Will Cook added a goal in the third. Surrey still sits fourth in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, five points shy of the third-place Coquitlam Express. They’ve now lost three of their last four games since Christmas. In their first weekend after the holiday break, Dec. 28-29, Surrey dropped a pair of games to the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Johnston, David Andrew (Bud) October 4, 1929 December 12, 2013 Passed away peacefully at Oak Bay Lodge in Victoria, B.C. Bud was born in Great Falls, Manitoba and lived many happy years in White Rock, B.C. with his wife Anita, who passed away in 2006. After that he moved to be nearer his family on Vancouver Island. He leaves behind his stepdaughter Jean (Robinson) (Jim) and grandchildren Daniel Robinson (Renata), Cynthia Verchere (Bruce), Paige Robinson (David Mincey), Laurel Robinson (Mike Banner) as well as four great grandchildren Wyatt, Toby and Graham Verchere and Andrej Robinson. He also leaves behind his nephew Bill Johnston (Barbara), and numerous relatives across Canada. Bud will be remembered as a good-looking gent with a healthy head of hair and a luxurious goatee, right up to his last days. He was always ready for a big family get-together, a cutthroat game of cribbage and a glass of good red wine, and not necessarily in that order. Bud loved vintage cars, fine food and attractive hospital nurses - again, not necessarily in that order. He left this world in full command of his faculties and on his own terms. He’ll be always in our hearts. No immediate service is planned, but a small remembrance will take place in April 2014 in Vancouver, B.C.

BROWN, Charles William Fiﬁeld Succumbed to long term illness December 21, 2013 at Mount St Joseph Hospital, Vancouver. Husband of Mary Louise Percy Brown (deceased Aug 2005).

Charlie was born as the only child to Charles C. Brown and Kathleen Brown (nee McCool) in North Bay, Ontario on August 3, 1929. The family moved west to Vancouver in 1939 where Charlie lived until he moved to Powell River in the 1950’s. From 1960, he lived in Coquitlam, moving back to Vancouver in time for Expo 86. He retired from the City of Coquitlam as Assistant Treasurer in 1994. A Vancouver College Alumnus, he worked as a Kitsilano Pool life guard, was a Seaforth Highlanders Cadet, a logger and worked at paper mills in Powell River and Annacis Island for MacMillan Bloedel. He obtained his RIA (later CMA) via night school while working at the mill and playing drums with the St Valentine’s Day Massacre throughout the lower mainland and at the Hot Jazz Club. Quiet Farewell to be held at The Gardens of Gethsemani 15800 32 Ave., Surrey BC on Thursday January 9th at 2 pm with Father Mark Gazin (Star of the Sea parish) officiating. “We are travelling in the footsteps of those who’ve gone before.

COLLINS, Mary Anderson born October 21, 1921 in Fort Williams, Ontario and passed away on December 23, 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC. Mary graduated as a registered nurse from McKeller Hospital in Fort Williams in 1942. She had a long and accomplished career working in many provinces in numerous roles; R.N., Head Nurse, and Supervisor. She was the first Head Nurse of the new cardiac program at the Royal Columbian Hospital. Mary will be remembered for her inner strength, kind heart, generosity and strong opinions. She loved life, enjoyed lively discussions, diverse reading and all animals. Mary was also an excellent cook and hostess, loved a good party and the occasional visit to the casino. Mary is predeceased by her parents Edward (1923) and Annie (1925) Frankland, her husband Robert (2005) and her twin sons Rick (1999) and Bobby (2007). She is survived by her grand daughters Lesley, Dawn and Tisha Collins. Mary will be missed by her good friends Joan Bulger, Wiebke Haman, Anna Marie Chang (also her caregiver), Jean Anderson and Molly her cat. Mary will be fondly remembered for doing it “her way.” Arrangements will be according to Mary’s wishes.

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our Mother Anita. She was a Mother that was always there for her Family with love and kind words. She always knew the right thing to say. We will all miss her very much. Anita leaves behind her best friend and partner Tony, her three sons; Larry, Lloyd and Vic and her two daughters Louise (Mike) and Launa (Jim). Anita will also be missed by her 14 grandchildren and many greatgrandchildren. There will be a celebration of life held at The Elks Hall in White Rock on January 12, 2014 at 2:00pm to remember Anita.

Beloved husband, father, grandpa, uncle, and friend to all, passed away peacefully in White Rock, British Columbia, on December 25, 2013. Jack died on the morning that we celebrate the birth of “the Prince of Peace,” the One who was anointed to “bring good news to the poor and to set the oppressed free.” Jack would have liked that concurrence. Jack was predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Amy, his sister and brother in-law, Audrey and Ted Bish, Jack was born in Carman, Manitoba on September 28, 1928, and went to school in Wingham and Elm Creek, and graduated from Treherne High School, all in Manitoba. At 14 he joined the Air Cadets and developed a lifelong interest in aviation. In retirement he was involved with Civil Air Search and Rescue. After high school, he became an Electrical Contractor, and opened his own business in Treherne. Many farms were wired for the first time by “McLachlan Electric.” He also owned and operated the local movie theatre. It was during this time he met his wife of nearly 60 years, Margaret (née Sutherland). They were married on May 29, 1954. During the early 1950s Jack felt called to the Ministry of the United Church of Canada, graduating from the University of Winnipeg with an Arts &Theology degree in 1959. During his 35-year career as a minister, he and Margaret raised three children, Bruce, Mary, and Brian, and served four charges: Steinbach, Carman, Dauphin, and Winnipeg. During his 10-year charge in Carman he drove to three different country churches every Sunday to conduct services. In addition to his charge, he initiated the Inter-Church Task Force on Northern Flooding in 1978, which encouraged the formation of the Northern Flood Committee. The Committee represented Northern Manitoba communities, in negotiations with Manitoba Hydro, for promised compensation for loss of lands and livelihood caused by Hydro’s dam building. These negotiations led to the ratification of the Northern Flood Agreement and the committee was disbanded in 1990. Jack built the family cabin in 1960 at Lake of the Woods in Ontario. The McLachlans and their guests enjoyed many summer vacations at the cabin, swimming, boating, fishing, and making friends and memories that will always be treasured. After retiring to White Rock in 2001, Jack continued his passion for social justice by starting “The Social Justice Film Festival,” which is now in its 10th year. It began at White Rock First United Church, and has become a society on its own. Jack said many times his bones, like the Prophet Jeremiah’s, cry out for justice in the world. On July 1, 2013, the City of White Rock presented the “Outstanding Canadian on the Peninsula” award to Jack for his work with social justice. Jack will be forever remembered and sadly missed by his wife and partner, Margaret of White Rock, his son Bruce of Edmonton, Alberta, daughter-in-law Vicki, née Fuchs, grandchildren Amber (Audi Leavitt) and B.J. (Beth, née Perlick), great grandchildren Emmersyn, Carter, and Samuel Leavitt, and Ava McLachlan; his daughter Mary of Bellingham, Washington, son-in-law Mike Flannery, grandchildren Marde Holt (fiancé Daniel Cross) and Jim Holt; son Brian of Nelson, British Columbia, daughter-in-law Fiona Brown, and grandson Christopher; and his special niece Linda Bish of Winnipeg. Celebration of Jack’s life will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. at White Rock First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave, White Rock. The McLachlan Family would like to sincerely thank Dr. Perold, Dr. Joshi, and the Hospice staff and volunteers for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Social Justice Film Society, 28, 2780 150th Street, Surrey BC V4P IPI, or White Rock First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave, White Rock BC V4B 1T6, or a Charity of your choice.
