Police release drawing of man after Fleetwood attack Sunday

Surrey sex assault suspect sought

Surrey is 45 cops short: Councillor

by Sheila Reynolds POLICE ARE asking for the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in the Fleetwood neighbourhood of Surrey on Sunday. A 25-year-old woman was walking home from a restaurant between 5 and 6 p.m. Jan. 5 when she was approached by a man near the intersection of 80 Avenue and 158 Street. The man took her to a nearby baseball field in Fleetwood Park and sexually assaulted her. The suspect is described as between 25 and 35 years old, about 6’, pale skinned, with a gaunt face, deepset facial features, Sex assault prominent high suspect cheekbones and no facial hair. He was wearing black, soccer-style track pants (possibly Adidas) with white stripes down the leg, an oversized dark hoodie and black sneakers with white soles. At this time, police say they believe the incident is isolated. Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 and ask for GIS or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to give an anonymous tip.

With the city’s population growing by 800 to 1,000 people per month, between 14 and 17 new police officers should be hired each year.

Mayor says she’d hire 100 officers tomorrow if city had the money by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY of Surrey has fallen behind in pro-

viding police officers. Coun. Barinder Rasode says the city needs 45 officers this year to come up the commitment made within the city’s own Crime Reduction Strategy (CRS). The much-touted document, a cornerstone of the current municipal administration, makes several promises regarding policing and public safety. Among them is “that the city continue its commitment to allocate resources to police services in proportion to the city’s overall growth at a minimum of one officer to every 700 residents or better.” Mayor Dianne Watts challenges the notion that the figure is as high as 45, but says there’s no question this city needs more police. “We know we need more police resources, there’s no doubt about that,” Watts said. “If I

could have another 100, and pay $15 million for that, I would do it tomorrow.” Currently, the mayor said, the city is examining resourcing and deployment of Surrey RCMP. She said when that study is done in March, Surrey will examine how many more officers it needs to hire. If the city wants to keep up to its “commitment” in the CRS, the number is substantial. Surrey’s projected population for 2014 is 511,000 and it will have a complement of 686 RCMP officers. To keep up with the promised ratio, the number of officers should be 731. It means this year, the city is 45 Mounties shy, which would cost $6.75 million to hire. Rapid growth is part of the reason Surrey has fallen behind on its goal, Rasode says. Surrey is growing by between 800 and 1,000 people per month. The city typically hires 12 new police officers annually. See RASODE / Page 4

Give us more boots on the ground, citizens say Newton residents sound off about community safety by Kevin Diakiw MORE POLICE, by way of foot and

bike patrols, enhanced community policing, better communication with city workers and private companies, and closed circuit surveillance cameras were some of the main demands made by a spillover crowd at the Newton Seniors’ Centre on Monday night. The meeting was organized by the fledgling Newton Community Association (NCA) after the brutal slaying of hockey mom Julie Paskall at the Newton Arena last month. The killer remains at large. The crowd at Monday’s meeting was made up of mostly seniors in the 125-seat room, and NCA spokesperson Doug Elford said about 300 people had to be turned away. The event began with a moment of silence to remember Paskall. One of the people who attended was Shilo Wishart Shilo Wishart, 21, who remembers Paskall as her babysitter. “She was a woman, a friend and a loving person,” Wishart told the crowd. “No one deserves this, I don’t care who you are, you need to stand up and be a man. Do the right thing and turn yourself in.” Several people spoke at the meeting, including Karen Reid Sidhu, executive director of the Surrey Crime Prevention Society, Surrey RCMP Chief-Supt. Bill Fordy and Bob Campbell, a member of the neighbouring West Panorama Ridge Ratepayers Association. See NEWTON / Page 10

Surrey woman gets $1 million gift Christmas present turns out to be a winning lottery ticket by Sheila Reynolds FOR SEVERAL years, Lori Colford’s brother has been

buying her lottery tickets for gifts, so she wasn’t surprised to find one under the tree this year. It was for the Dec. 25 Lotto 6/49 Super Draw, but she set it aside and didn’t check the numbers right away. It wasn’t until last week, when she was taking down her Christmas tree, that she saw the ticket on the table. She went to her local gas station and handed it to the attendant to check. Lori Colford won $1 million in the Dec. 25 Lotto 6/49 Super Draw. Her ticket was bought in Cloverdale.

“The Chevron retailer advised me to call BCLC right away,” said Colford. “She said ‘it must be a big win,’ but I never dreamed I’d won $1,000,000!” Thanks to her brother’s generous gift, Colford is planning a family trip, in addition to a new car and hopefully an injection into her savings account. Her ticket was bought at the gas station at 176 Street and 64 Avenue in Cloverdale. The Dec. 25 draw was the first Super Draw of the new Lotto 6/49. It consisted of five Guaranteed Prize Draws of $1 million, two of which were sold in B.C.

Rasode: Review goals

Find Independence with the perfect fit

MOBILITY

From page 1 However, to keep up with the one officer per 700 people ratio, the city should have been hiring between 14 and 17 new officers each year. Rasode said it’s time to revisit the goals. “I think it’s time to review our targets based on changes in policing models and technology,” Rasode said. “We need a long-term approach on officers as we make sure a critical community-based policing model is implemented and maintained.” There’s a sense of deja vu about Rasode’s call for police. Former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum pulled then-Coun. Dianne Watts from chair of the Public Safety Committee after she told The Leader in 2003 the city could use 100 more police officers. Watts then left the Surrey Electors Team, and displaced McCallum as mayor in 2005. The following 2006 budget called for 55 new police officers over three years, which was accomplished. The city then dropped down to hiring 12 more per year. Many are speculating as to whether Rasode, currently the chair of public safety and police committees, is attempting a run at the centre chair. Rasode said she has no intention of

running for mayor in Surrey. “No, I’m not running for mayor,” she told The Leader Tuesday. She said part of her job as councillor is to be “very responsive in a timely manner to issues that are at hand.” Those issues currently happen to be crime-related, which falls within her portfolios, she said. She also said she wants some new technologies introduced as soon as possible. One of them is a mobile device application allowing people to report crime with a couple of clicks. She also wants a dedicated phone line to city hall, whereby people could report crimes. She also noted recent experience in Halifax and Winnipeg shows more foot patrols dramatically reduce street crime. The ability to report crimes and levels of policing came up frequently at a public forum in Newton Monday. The event was held after a hockey mom Julie Paskall, 53, was killed at the Newton Arena last month. After the meeting, Surrey RCMP Chief-Supt. Bill Fordy acknowledged the city could use more police, but to be more specific in terms of numbers would be “simplistic.” He said other groups – such as crime prevention and social service resources – also play a significant role.

Newton residents have had enough AFTER THE UNPROVOKED, senseless

slaying of 53-year-old Surrey mom Julie Paskall, Newton has finally had enough and is determined to take back its community from a longfestering history of crime. The usual responses to crime and crime prevention, as put forward by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts – such as more police presence, intensified video surveillance, mental health initiatives, etc. – can be effective measures to be taken by the embattled community of Newton. However, no progress to combatting an escalating situation of street crime will be made unless we tackle the fundamental judicial problem of the courts routinely handing out soft or no sentences... sending convicted

Instead of feebly portraying violent criminals as victims of societal exclusion, measures to help put an end to street crime must entail, first and foremost, resolute legislation for tougher sentencing that would send a clear message to would-be felons that judicial tolerance for street crimes is over. What is needed now is political courage to act. Enough with crime and punishment Canadian style, where the rights of convicted criminals trump the fate of their very real victims; where lenient sentences have made drug trafficking and organized crime the crimes that pay; and where bail is granted, few questions are asked, and criminals are free again to roam the streets.

Shooting at Mac’s store in Surrey Man expected to survive by Kevin Diakiw GUNFIRE ERUPTED from inside a con-

venience store in North Surrey this week, landing one man in hospital. At about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, police were called to the Mac’s Convenience Store at 152 Street and 100 Avenue in response to a call of shots fired. Two men had arrived at the Mac’s together in a truck and then walked to the back of the store, where one man pulled out a gun and shot the other in the back.

The bullet also caused damage to his groin area, police say. As of 10 a.m. Wednesday, police say the 29-year-old Surrey man was in surgery, and was expected to survive the shooting. Police have video footage, which they were expecting to make public later Wednesday. If anyone witnessed the shooting, or knows anything about the attacker, they are asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

One woman killed, two houses destroyed in separate incidents by Tracy Holmes 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. 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

A MAN IS recovering

from a stab wound to the abdomen and wrist after an altercation in Whalley Monday night. At about 10:45 p.m., passersby found a man at 108 Avenue and 135 Street bleeding, claiming that he had been stabbed. He said he had gotten into an argument and fight with a group, two males and one female, when one of them pulled a knife and stabbed him.

Police attended and took the 26-year-old South Asian man to hospital, where he remains in stable, non-life threatening condition. Police are currently looking for witnesses and surveillance cameras from the area that could lead them to the Caucasian trio that stabbed him. If anyone has any information, call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

A focus in both investigations is to determine if smoke alarms were in place and if they were, whether they were working. The 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.

She noted volunteers don’t go out after 6 p.m. in the winter, or 8 p.m. in the summer due to safety concerns. Fordy said the Surrey RCMP currently has two directives.

FRASER HEALTH is urging residents to get the flu shot if they haven’t yet had it after a surge in severe cases of H1N1 influenza. As of Monday, 30 patients sick with suspected H1N1 had been treated in hospital intensive care units with artificial respiration, although some have since been discharged. One patient has died but the case has not yet been confirmed as H1N1 flu. Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder said the cases here are mirroring the pattern seen recently with outbreaks in Alberta, Ontario and Texas. Ill patients here are not the very elderly, Dr. Paul Van but Buynder adults of various ages from 20 to 60, he said. Two are pregnant women and others suffer from chronic illness or are very overweight. “We’re surprised at how many have come in such a short period of time with such severe disease,” Van Buynder said. Hospitalized patients are at Royal Columbian, Surrey Memorial and Abbotsford Regional hospitals, Van Buynder said, but added that’s just because the most seriously ill patients concentrate in the region’s three big hospitals. The virus isn’t limited to any particular community. “This is right across Fraser,” he said. Van Buynder said all patients currently hospitalized with the flu are expected to survive, but he said the outbreak is disturbing. “We are urging those who have not already had their flu shot to get one. It is not too late.” Anyone who got the 2013 flu shot is immunized against the now-circulating strain of H1N1, he said. People who got the H1N1 flu shot in 2009 – when there was widespread concern about an outbreak of that strain – may have some immunity but are urged to get a new shot. “We’re not sure

real estate market posted small price gains in 2013. 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. 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.

Cities aim to stop medical marijuana home growers Hundreds face enforcement this spring as licenses expire by Jeff Nagel SOME B.C. cities are

vowing to do what they can to uproot licensed medical marijuana grow operations in homes that will become illegal this spring as federally approved large-scale commercial growers take over. As of April 1, an estimated 11,500 B.C.

medical marijuana grow operations that have been run by or on behalf of federally licensed users are supposed to shut down voluntarily, but civic leaders say Health Canada is doing almost nothing to force them to comply. “It’s an absolute gong show,” said Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman. “They’re keeping cities completely in the dark as to what they plan to do to fix this mess.” Abbotsford, Port Coquitlam, Surrey and some other cities that have identified some medical marijuana grows – through safety inspections or police raids that were called off when they turned out to be licensed – plan to take steps to ensure they shut down.

Banman said Abbotsford is aware of approximately 100 currently legal grows and Abbotsford Police will likely follow up with them in the spring, but added there are at least 700 more at unknown locations that Health Canada won’t disclose. Surrey has for years used fire safety inspection teams to root out illegal pot grow-ops, usually targeted based on excessive power consumption or neighbourhood complaints. Deputy Fire Chief Dan Barnscher said Surrey’s teams have uncovered nearly 300 licensed medical grows, most of them in the past

two years. As in Abbotsford, that’s just the tip of the iceberg – Surrey has learned through Access to Information requests that the city is home to nearly 900 medical pot grows that are soon to become illegal. “There’s an expectation they will be doing a complete clean-up and remediation of their property,” Barnscher said. “We’re going to give them a timeline to do that. We’re not going to show up on April 1 or 2nd.” He said remediation work must be verified by a city-approved industrial hygienist and restoration professional

nowbirds—Canadians who migrate to southern US climes during the winter months—leave behind more than their winter undergarments. Canadian politics, cultural stories, even the whole vastness of our geography simply vanishes. The traditional media reports no Canadian news, with the exception of the adventures of Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford. Imagine, then, the shock to SoCal snowbirds when the regional PBS television channel featured on the ‘Signature Segment’ of its Newshour Weekend show expressly named ‘British Columbia’ story about laws that have reduced drunk driving fatalities by over 50 percent in two years. The set-up cited the current US statistics—10,000 drunk driving fatalities annually—and that Canada has a similar problem. The story begins, it said, six years ago when a four-year-old girl was hit and killed roadside while feeding a horse in the late afternoon with her aunt by her side, who was injured. The 58 year old driver was reportedly travelling at 91 kmh in a 50 kmh zone when she lost control on the speed bumps, stepped on the gas instead of the brake and veered into the two victims. The evidence at trial established that the driver was impaired by alcohol and she was convicted and sentenced to 2½ years on each of four charges of dangerous and impaired driving causing death and serious injuries, with the time to be served

concurrently. Images highlighted the immeasurable contrast between the beauty of the child and the serenity of the rural setting, and the horrible aftermath. According to the report, the parents of the child resolved to memorialize their daughter by dedicating themselves to working to change the culture around drinking and driving. Ultimately, we are told, they concluded, along with other lobbyists (Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), for one) that legislative changes were the best way to achieve their goal. The resulting legislative program is summarized focusing particularly on the new lower .05 BAC level, and the police powers to impose immediate consequences including on-the-spot impoundment, license suspension, fines and penalties. Enforcement of the new program, the report goes on to say, began in late 2010 and it caused “an uproar.” We are told about the civil libertarian objections to the program and the practical difficulties and losses it caused for the bars and restaurants throughout the province. But then we are shown graphs of the results—the dramatic plunge in fatalities in Year 1 and Year 2 resulting in a net decline of over 50% in drunk driving caused fatalities. Why this legislative program has worked so well is analyzed by academics from the University of Victoria and this is echoed by statements by the dead child’s mother: the severity of the consequences, the suddenness of their imposition, the high level of enforcement and the fact that all of these elements were well-publicized. The report mentions the legal challenges to the program including the functioning of the roadside testing machines and the adequacy of the appeals process, but concludes by saying that the heart of it remains intact. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

to ensure they don’t leave behind an electrical fire trap or dangerous mould for future residents. Barnscher concedes there’s nothing to stop those licensed growers from moving to elude authorities, but added they will no longer have Health Canada protection if the grow-op is found again in Surrey at a new location. Cities are also wary of recently launched legal action. Medical marijuana users hope a constitutional challenge launched by Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy will strike down part of the new federal regulations on medical marijuana or at least force an extension of the April 1 deadline while the case is before the courts. Conroy’s application to exempt or grandfather in existing holders of personal production or designated grower licences is expected to be heard in early February. Users fear it will cost them much more to buy pot from authorized sellers than it has been to grow their own. Saskatoon-based CanniMed, one of the first producers to be licensed and begin shipments, is selling its medical pot for $7.50 to $12 per gram. Lower Mainland cities have taken varied approaches on where they will allow new approved growers to set up highly regulated, secure medical pot growing operations. Maple Ridge is allowing them only in agricultural areas, while Delta, Langley Abbotsford and Kelowna are opposing medical pot as an allowed use on farmland. On Monday (Jan. 6), Delta council directed staff to bring forward amendments to the Delta Zoning Bylaw to prohibit all aspects of the growing, production, manufacturing, testing, storage and sales of medical marijuana within the Corporation of Delta. Businesses wishing to establish medical marijuana operations in Delta would be required to apply for site-specific zoning, which would be subject to council approval.

GVHBA ready for exciting, busy year ahead

By Kerry Vital

As 2014 begins, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is looking forward to some exciting events. On Feb. 5, the GVHBA will hold its Legends of Housing event in Burnaby, featuring Morningstar Homes Partner Dale Barron, Bosa Development Vice-President of Development Eric Martin and former President and Director of British Pacific Properties Ltd. Jim McLean. It will be moderated by

Ledingham McAllister President Ward McAllister. The BC Home + Garden Show will take place Feb. 19 to 23, and will feature the GVHBA Renovation Gallery, a 1,000-square-foot space featuring before-and-after photos of professionally renovated projects as well as free consultations with RenoMark renovators, designers, subtrades and suppliers. You’ll also find the HGTV Main Stage, with appearances from experts such as Bryan Baeumler, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry Holmes and Janette Ewen.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

March will bring the 20th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar, taking place at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. “Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.” A panel of experts will discuss a variety of topics, including the best location, what home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources, and legal considerations. Exhibitors will also be available beforehand to answer any questions and provide information to attendees. Pre-registration is required; you can register online or call 778-565-4288 Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

The views from Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain are truly spectacular, below, and Morningstar Homes is taking advantage of this with their view homes at Partington. With all the gorgeous features of Partington plus the amazing scenery, the homes are second-to-none.

Taking in the view on Burke Mountain

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes continues to impress with their latest release of amazing View Homes, an extension of Partington on Burke Mountain that combine beautiful homes and a view that’s second-to-none. “This is a really special offering,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There is a limited quantity of view homes available on Burke Mountain and they are in high demand.” The spectacular homes include all of the

gorgeous features of Partington, while also including some of the most beautiful views in the Lower Mainland. “It’s like being on top of the world,” says Calahan. “Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home. We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.” The four-bedroom homes at Partington are available in three different open-plan floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. All of them include an unfinished basement and a large private yard with patio or deck. The kitchens are truly huge, with granite islands, stainless-steel appliances and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas complements the 19-foot vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace. “These homes are very well laid-out” Calahan says. “There’s a sense of grandeur here. People are noting the ‘wow’ of the house; it takes your breath away.”

Partington is perfectly located for homeowners to live the Burke Mountain lifestyle. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping, dining and transit. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby. Partington joins Morningstar’s seven previous projects on Burke Mountain, including Belmont, Avondale and Kingston. “We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.” Morningstar was the first developer on Burke Mountain, and Calahan says that they’ve been welcomed with every project they build. She has increasingly seen friends and family members of other Morningstar buyers looking to purchase their own home. Every home at Partington has been selling well, with Calahan noting she is releasing

more lots for sale this weekend. “Demand is high for a quality product by a trustworthy builder with an outstanding view. We’re selling them faster than I can release them!” she adds with pride “The Morningstar brand is becoming a household word on Burke.” View Homes at Partington start at $1.2 million. For more information, check out www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-942-6370 or visit the sales office at 1508 Dayton Street, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 6 p.m.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition. Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

Question

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

Safety Tip:

What do you think is the best special feature available in today’s cars and trucks? Please explain why you have made that decision.

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limitless autobahns. Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll conducted for Black Press that found 37 per cent back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits during the eight regional public forums being held this month. Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed. In recent years, I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along highspeed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars. One of the most memorable trips I drove was the 585 kilometres between Munich and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horsepower under the hood. Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn. The queues continue even 30 kms outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h! To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I encountered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions in motorcycles, large trucks and cars towing trailers. What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be enforced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you. Say

what? – The advisory speed limit under this “rule” is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit. Smash up at a higher speed and you could be found partially responsible due to “increased operating danger”. Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birthplace at Ingolstadt. On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind. You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed. That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way. As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I found 120 km/h was more easily achieved for most of the journey and seemed to be more typical a speed for most. From Munich city limits to Berlin it took me around 5 hours 30 minutes, which means I averaged about 105 km/h. Pretty good but not the 200 km/h many think you can do. There’s the reality check: Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

Ian Harwood

In The Cab: The cabin seems large at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable you realize it is not all that big. Access to the controls is easy as they are well positioned. I like the navigation screen with 3D mapping and the around view monitor that gives you a bird’s eye view of the vehicle. An eight-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, six-way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding rear seats that individually fold flat, make for comfort. The audio system is a Bose 11 speaker with two subwoofers, AM/FM/ CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. Color monitors are built in to headrests so rear passengers can enjoy movies or play their favorite games. There is an advanced climate control system that continuously cleans the cabin and automatically shuts off the outside air vents when exhaust fumes are detected. Safety first: The QX70 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor for all row outboard occupant head protection. Intelligent brake assist system is a safety feature that continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is imminent, it will also apply the brakes. There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system. Power: A 3.7 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 325 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle. The 7 speed automatic transmission continued on page 23

is an electronically continuously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities, that features downshift rev matching technology. Pump frequency: 12.9/9.1 L/100km (city/ highway) Warranty support: 48 month/ 100,000 km Roadworthy: Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum. Even though the engine was more than adequate providing plenty of power, the CVT transmission was continuing to make adjustments and I found at times sudden bursts of power followed by a hard up shift. Definitely not something I expected with this type of luxury.

2014 Infiniti QX70. IAN HARWOOD

TAKE ONE FOR A VICTORY LAP

Verdict: I was excited to drive this vehicle after reading some of the press releases, but was disappointed on the size of the interior space and performance. The safety features of this vehicle are incredible and I think most people would feel very safe driving it.

It was a Christmas Miracle: that’s all I can put it down to. Pulled up behind a new sport-ute at a busy intersection, just a second before the light changed green. And predictably that’s when the driver put on his left turn signal. Then to my absolute amazement, he did exactly what he was supposed to do after failing to signal at the appropriate time. He drove across the intersection and took the next left! There was a police car behind me so perhaps the errant driver feared a $121 ticket and two penalty points on his license. Not likely.

elevate student learning to a new level. He reached out to Isaac Vanderhorst, educational coordinator with the West Vancouver Museum, and they forged a partnership through the museum’s youth architecture program. Emmett and Vanderhorst’s approach is to use architecture as a framework – as inspiration for the students’ varied artistic practices. By bringing Vanderhorst’s expertise directly to Seaquam students, the students not only learned about architectural art, but also about being a professional artist and about museum curating. “It really opened-up my art practice. It expanded my view of art and opened possibilities,” said Grade 12 student Megan Bourassa. Despite the theme of architecture, not one student built a model of a building. For example, Bourassa’s work is a series of photographs that when placed under special magnifying glasses appear to be three dimensional. At the other end of the hallway is another 3-D piece. A caricature of a monster drawn by Noah Haave, another Grade 12 student, is projected onto the wall and the reflection of it in the opposite window gives the illusion that the monster is standing in the hallway beyond the glass. Nina Wang carved an intricate stamp, made copies of it and sent it to people around the world. She asked them to take a picture of the stamp with a significant building and to send the photos back to her. Wang’s display is a collection of the photos. “I haven’t been to all of these places, but my art has,” said Wang. In the middle of the hallway an image of a city skyline is projected onto the wall. Upon closer investigation, the illusion of buildings is being created by precisely placed beauty products with a light shone through them. The piece expresses the materialization of women to the point where it is accepted as commonplace. “I got to explore my art in a different way and to say my views in a stronger way. I am able to display ugly ideas in a beautiful way,” said Grade 12 artist Kathleen Kogan.

All-Surrey tourney under way

Repeat likely at Fire Fighters’ by Rick Kupchuk IF THE provincial rankings are

accurate, the 13th annual Surrey Fire Fighters’ Classic currently under way at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary will conclude with a repeat of the last two championship games. The Holy Cross Crusaders and Fleetwood Park Dragons are the only two teams listed among the best senior girls high school teams in British Columbia and are expected to meet in a third consecutive Fire Fighters’ championship game at 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon. The Dragons surprised Holy Cross last year, winning 70-65. In the 2012 final, the Crusaders topped Fleetwood Park 68-56. Holy Cross is third in the current Senior AAA provincial rankings, while the Dragons have earned honorable mention and are just outside the top 10. It’s a familiar position for Fleetwood Park, but not so much for the Crusaders. Holy Cross won a provincial championship last season as a Senior AA team, but after three consecutive top three placings and six consecutive trips to the B.C. championship tournament, the small private school has moved up to compete against the bigger schools at the Senior AAA level. Two weeks ago, they were in Phoenix for the 15th annual

Cactus Jam tournament where they won three close contests to become the first Canadian team to place first. Grade 12 guard Alli Buck was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player while Grade 12 forward Samantha Beauchamp was a first-team all-star. The Crusaders received a bye through the first three days of the tournament, but will need to win three times in two days to repeat as Fire Fighters’ champions. They will tip-off against the Mariners tomorrow (Friday) at 1 p.m. in the only quarterfinal game of the day, and with a win will be back on the floor for a semifinal contest at 5:30 p.m. Fleetwood Park will play the Panorama Ridge Thunder in a quarterfinal contest today (Thursday) at 2:30 p.m. Other quarterfinal match-ups will see the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers play the Tamanawis Wildcats at 11:30 a.m. and the Elgin Park Orcas up against the Fraser Heights Firehawks at 4 p.m. All games are at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Nineteen teams will play in this year’s all-Surrey Classic, and after preliminary round play Tuesday eight teams remain in the Axe (Tier 1) draw, while another eight have dropped to the Ladder (Tier 2) category. The championship game in the Ladder category will take place at 2:30 p.m.

Sarah Buckingham of the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers breaks away from Chelsea Ribeiro of the Semiahmoo Totems in a first-round game at the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Goodwill Classic at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary School Tuesday. Buckingham scored 15 points in a 61-27 win.

Eagles look to the future with trades BCHL team deals three forwards in advance of trade deadline by Nick Greenizan THE WHEELIN’ and dealin’ continues for

the Surrey Eagles. After trading leading goal-scorer Nic Pierog to the Penticton Vees Saturday, and sending captain Brett Mulcahy to the Vernon Vipers Monday morning, Eagles’ head coach/general manager Peter Schaefer has made one final move in advance of Friday’s B.C. Hockey League trade deadline. On Tuesday evening, Eagles’ forward Luke Sandler broke the news of the deal himself, announcing via Twitter that he was headed to the Nanaimo Clippers. “I want to thank @SurreyEagles for everything. Great Organization to be a part of,” he wrote. “I am excited to be joining (Nanaimo Clippers) for the rest of the year. Let’s make a run for this!”

Schaefer confirmed the trade Wednesday morning, adding that the team receives future considerations in exchange. Sandler, a 20-year-old Chicago native, played 14 games for Surrey this season, tallying five goals and adding one assist. The 6’3”, 205 lbs. forward also had 39 penalty minutes. For Sandler, the Clippers will be his fourth BCHL team. He split last season between the Trail Smoke Eaters and Cowichan Valley Capitals. In trading three of the team’s top forwards – all three of whom will leave the BCHL after the season – it would appear on the surface that the Eagles’ were focusing on the future. Schaefer, however, disputed the notion that the team was throwing in the towel on the 2013-14 season.

“It’s not so much selling off guys, but this just makes our lineup more solidified. We had a lot of top-six forwards who weren’t playing top-six minutes, and now we have a more defined top two lines, and a bottom two,” he explained. “It won’t be such a mishmash. But we’re still in the playoffs, we still have great players. We aren’t giving up on the year at all.” Schaefer said the trading of Mulcahy and Pierog should also open up more playing time for the team’s young players, including Danton Heinen, who has 17 goals, and Anthony Conti, who was acquired for Pierog. “Those guys are the future of our team,” Schaefer said. The deals for Mulcahy and Pierog were also made in order to give those two veterans another chance at the RBC Cup.

SECTION CO-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

Pierog’s new team, the Vees, are in top spot in the BCHL’s Interior Division, while Mulcahy, now in Vernon, gets a chance to play in the RBC regardless, as the Vipers are set to host the tournament. “It’s also a chance for him to go back to his hometown and play the last 20 games or so in front of his family,” Schaefer said. “With Nic and Brett, those were the only options for them. “They were two of our leaders, our warriors. We weren’t trading them anywhere else.” Though the Canadian Junior Hockey League trade deadline isn’t until Friday, Schaefer said his team is done making moves. “No matter what, we’re done. We’ve used all our cards, we’ve made our moves. I’m 100 per cent finished,” he said.

Hawks go winless at Mac’s Cloverdale’s Jordan Funk scores five times in four games by Rick Kupchuk AFTER FIVE days in Calgary at the Mac’s tournament, the Valley West Hawks will resume play in the BC Hockey Major Midget League next weekend. The Hawks will face-off against the Vancouver Canadians, playing at 4:45 p.m. at the Richmond Oval Saturday and 11:45 a.m. Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Valley West, comprised of 15-17 yearold players from the Surrey, Semiahmoo, Cloverdale and Langley minor hockey associations, is in third place in the provincial elite league with a 17-8-1 (won-lost-tied) record, eight points up on the 13-12-1 Canadians. The Hawks were winless in four games at the Mac’s competition, which featured the top Midget AAA teams from across Western Canada among the 25 teams competing.

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Jordan Funk of the Valley West Hawks skates around a South Island Royals defender during a BC Hockey Major Midget League game last month. Funk scored five goals at the Mac’s tournament in Calgary. Valley West began the tournament with a 5-1 loss to the South Side Athletic Club of Edmonton, with Luke Gingras of Langley netting the Hawks goal. A day later, the Hawks played the Alaska Junior Aces to a 4-4 tie. Alaska had built a 4-1 lead after 40

minutes, with Trevor Ayre of Surrey scoring for the Hawks. Valley West came back in the third period with three unanswered goals, all of which were assisted by Surrey’s Matt Bradley. Jordan Funk of Cloverdale began the rally with a pair, then Surrey

defenceman Paul Savage scored the tying goal with 1:16 to play. In the third game again the Prince Albert Mintos, the Hawks erased one two-goal deficit but couldn’t do it a second time. Shakeel Ebrahim of Surrey and Funk tallied to pull Valley West even at 2-2

by the midway point of the game before the Mintos netted two goals in less than two minutes to regain a two-goal lead. Surrey’s Mitch Newsome late in the second period and Funk with his second of the game with two minutes to play also scored for the Hawks, each goal pulling the B.C. team to within one. Prince Albert clinched the game with a shorthanded, empty-net goal with 25 seconds remaining. A 6-2 loss to the Calgary Royals completed the tournament for the Hawks. Bradley opened the scoring then assisted on a goal by Funk which game Valley West a 2-0 lead in the first period. Davis Koch of White Rock assisted on both goals. Bradley finished as the leading scorer for the Hawks with a goal and six assists. Funk was the top scorer, netting five to go with one assist.

Devils drop two at home Junior team falls in overtime by Rick Kupchuk THE NORTH Delta Devils began 2014 with two more losses on home ice, but they did earn a point Saturday night against the Grandview Steelers. The Devils fell 4-3 in overtime in the Pacific Junior Hockey League game, two days after dropping a 7-1 decision to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack. Both games were played at the Sungod Arena. Now at 7-24-1-1 (win-loss-overtime loss-tied) on the season with just 11 games to play, North Delta will not be participating in the postseason. In the basement of the Tom Shaw Conference standings, they are 17 points behind the fourth-place Steelers. The Devils fired 54 shots at Grandview goaltender Cole MacInnes Saturday night, but fell behind 3-1 after 40 minutes. Jackson Surbey and Blake Gorrill scored in the final 10 minutes of regulation time to knot the score 3-3 and force an extra period. The Steelers needed just 27 seconds to net the winner, with former Devils Marco Romano scoring to end the game. Levi De Waal tallied the first goal of the game for the home side, and also added an assist to finish the night with two points. Surrey native Nickolas Tenciansky played well in the North Delta net, making 42 saves on 46 shots. Last Thursday, the Wolf Pack took it to the Devils early and never let up by taking period leads of 3-0 and 5-0. Colin Catchpole scored the only goal for North Delta while on the powerplay with 10 minutes remaining in the game. The Devils are in Richmond tonight (Thursday) for a game with the 23-9-1-1 Sockeyes, then will host the 19-9-2-2 Abbotsford Pilots Saturday at 7:15 p.m. at the Sungod Arena.
