Overflow crowd holds grassroots safety meeting, in wake of unsolved Newton homicide

Newton residents want a show of force Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Shilo Wishart speaks.

Possible solutions to Newton’s crime problem and an appeal to a killer were all heard Monday at a meeting organized in the wake of last week’s beating death of Surrey mom Julie Paskall. “I don’t care who you are, you need to stand up and be a man,” Shilo Wishart told those who packed the Newton Seniors’ Centre. “Do the right thing and turn yourself in.” Wishart, 21, was among more than 100 residents

– mostly seniors – who crammed into the centre to press police and other officials for answers; Newton Community Association organizers estimate they had to turn hundreds more away due to the facility’s 125-seat capacity. Wishart said Paskall had been her babysitter, and described the 53-year-old as “a woman, a friend and a loving person.” “No one deserves this,” she said. Police believe that whoever attacked Paskall outside Newton Arena on Dec. 29 may also have

assaulted a woman at the Newton bus loop on Dec. 16, and have asked the public to be extra vigilant when frequenting the area. Meeting attendees said an enhanced police presence and installation of closed-circuit surveillance cameras would help reduce crime and make them feel safer. One woman suggested starting a “walk safe” program; many others in the crowd said the city needs more community policing initiatives. i see page 8

Semiahmoo scholars mark Cambridge three-peat Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

For the third year in a row, a Semiahmoo Secondary student has won a prestigious scholarship to study at Cambridge University. The win by Anmol Jawandha – announced Monday – marks the first time in the history of the Blyth Cambridge Scholarship Trust that any school has had three students win the award, officials confirmed. “Isn’t that amazing?” Semi principal Bea Hadikin beamed Tuesday. “I just can’t help but focus on

Scholarship founder Sam Blyth personally congratulated Jawandha in a phone call Tuesday afternoon. “He wanted me to enjoy the experience and work hard when I get over there,” the 17-year-old said of the conversation. “I was just thanking him for the opportunity.” Jawandha said attending Cambridge would not be in his future if not for the scholarship.

She described the winning streak as “absolutely unheard of.” “When they were applying last year, I was thinking no way, no way,” she said, of the idea the school could once again notch a win. She added the win is not unconditional. Jawandha must meet required IB exam scores in May.

to have security guards on hand in almost any location where there is likely to be problems, particularly at night. We went out for dinner near the end of our visit, to a nice restaurant in a decent area, but were surprised to see three security guards on duty in the parking lot. As it was not fenced off, they were there to ensure that patrons’ cars are not broken into while they are inside. It was a practical touch that worked. There should be security guards stationed at all Surrey civic facilities, particularly after dark. This is an excellent way to have eyes and ears present where criminals may be tempted to strike. Security guards can quickly alert police, and in places like the Newton Arena and wave pool, there needs to be a team of them on duty, so that one lone guard is not attacked. Police cannot be everywhere. They are needed to respond quickly to criminal incidents, and they need to have a presence in neighbourhoods as deterrents. The City of Surrey needs to move quickly to assure all those who visit arenas, community centres, libraries and even the new city hall that they will be safe. The security guard option and a proposal to expand City Watch needs to be looked at – along with increased police presence, good lighting and proper building design that will reduce the likelihood of serious crime.

Professional college cancels member’s registration after dozens file lawsuits

Dentist censured for ‘substandard’ care Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A former Semiahmoo Peninsula dentist named in several civil lawsuits has admitted to “incompetent practice and professional misconduct,” a notice issued by the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. states. The notice, posted online Dec. 23, states an investigation into patient and dentist complaints against Narendra (Randy) Narayan – a South Surrey resident who practised in White Rock and Chilliwack – “indicated a pattern of substandard practice.” “Issues included a failure to diagnose, treat and obtain informed consent from patients, and questionable billing practices,” the notice states. Discipline ordered includes a reprimand; cancellation of Narayan’s registration with the college; and payment of $1,000 to the

college for costs of the investigation – all of which were suggested in a consent-order proposal submitted by Narayan in October, shortly before a hearing into the matter was scheduled to get underway. “There was an agreement made with the college, yes,” Narayan’s lawyer, David Bell, confirmed to Peace Arch News Tuesday. Bell would not comment on the outcome of the proceedings, citing a lack of direction to that effect from his client. “I expect I will receive instructions not to comment,” he said. Narayan’s consent proposal suggests personal circumstances played a role, stating “The college recognizes that Dr. Narayan’s personal difficulties… have likely contributed to the specific professional shortcomings and the overall pattern of competency and ethical concerns.”

Vancouver lawyer Alex Sayn-Wittgenstein said he continues to represent dozens of clients in civil claims – that PAN first reported last February – against Narayan. One complainant detailed paying “tens of thousands of dollars” for dental work including bridges, root canals and crowns, only to learn from another dentist that “significant aspects” of the work was substandard. Narayan later filed a statement of defence denying the allegations. One outstanding claim names “about 70 or 80” complainants, Sayn-Wittgenstein said this week. That claim, filed in May 2013, alleges misrepresentation of the level of care that would be provided, and breach of contract for substandard dental care and treatment. Relief sought includes general damages, specific damages, past and future care costs and past and future loss of income.

Sayn-Wittgenstein said no hearing dates have been set. Some of the claims against Narayan have been dismissed, he added, and none have been proven in court. “We have over 120 claims,” he said. “Some of those matters have resolved… over the course of the last number of months.” Neither lawyer would comment on claims that have been resolved. Bell noted confidentiality agreements are in place. Narayan voluntarily stopped practising dentistry as of July 6, 2012. Regarding the college proceedings, the order lists conditions Narayan must meet to apply for reinstatement. Those include providing a doctor’s report confirming mental and physical fitness; completing the fourth year of dental school; passing the National Dental Examining Board examinations; and passing a professional ethics course.

Andrew and Jasmine Speidel, with baby Autumn Jade, visit with Katy Lee and daughter Katherine, Peace Arch Hospital’s new year’s baby for 2013.

New Year’s tradition carried on by last year’s recipient

‘First’ babies bring families together Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Peace Arch Hospital New Year’s baby for 2014, Autumn Jade Speidel, got her first outing – and some gifts, including a jungle gym playpen and a Magic Bullet mixer – when she visited the parents of last year’s New Year baby on Tuesday. Autumn and parents Andrew and Jasmine, of Langley, followed a doctor’s appointment in White Rock with a drop-in at the South Surrey home of Katy Lee and George Tsai, whose daughter, Katherine, was the first arrival of 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital. The get-together was a continuation of a tradition started by White Rock’s Tiffany Baldwin, mom of Ryan, the 2012 New Year’s baby, who collected gifts from local merchants for Katherine a year ago. Baldwin and local mer-

chants also contributed to the gifts handed over to the Speidels, Lee said. “It’s a good tradition – I look forward to continuing it next year,” Jasmine said. “I had no idea about it.” A special-education assistant for Surrey School District, she and Andrew (who manages the General Paint store in Fleetwood) live in the Willoughby area. High-school sweethearts, they met at Fleetwood Park Secondary in 1999. Autumn is their first child. The possibility that Autumn could be a New Year’s baby was in the back of their minds when they learned her due date was Dec. 31, but it had slipped into the background by the time Jasmine went into labour on New Year’s Eve. In all the excitement, the new year came in almost without their noticing it, the couple said.

“It was on the drive to the hospital – I said ‘oh yeah, Happy New Year’,” Andrew remembered. Autumn was delivered naturally at 4:07 that morning, weighing in at just under eight pounds, Jasmine said. “I had no concept of time at that point – I didn’t really care, to tell you the truth.” The Speidels said they have more chance now to enjoy Autumn’s celebrity – although while she seems content to sleep through the day, she’s been keeping them up at night. They enjoyed meeting Tsai, Lee and Katherine, and Katherine’s two siblings, Nathan and Liam, they said. And the couples are already discussing the idea of further get-togethers in what seems to be a burgeoning New Year’s baby club. “We could have a barbecue in the summer,” Lee suggested, exchanging Facebook contacts.

An initial council vote on a contentious South Surrey residential highrise/arts amenity project has been postponed. In an email to area resident Kristen Smith, Surrey senior planner Ron Gill said first and second readings of the bylaw – originally scheduled for the Jan. 13 council meeting – have been put on hold. The city needs “more time to continue our application review process and to continue to receive feedback from the public,” he writes. As yet, there is no word on new dates for first and second readings for the two-tower project, proposed for 152 Street and 19 Avenue, in which the city – through the Surrey City Development Corporation – is a major developing partner with the Reifel Cooke Group. Cotter Architects, which is designing the project, had been expecting a public hearing on Feb. 3, provided first and second readings passed this month. The 328-unit development – which would stand the equivalent of 27 storeys at its highest point – has been designed to include the shell of a 350-seat theatre/performing arts centre, and would also provide space for a contemporary arts café gallery. Opponents – including members of the Semiahmoo Residents Association and Smith – claim the development would be too much for a neighbourhood in which traffic congestion and inadequate access is already a concern, and that it would impact views, cast shadows over surrounding residential development and reduce property values. Proponents claim the development would actually improve traffic flow and access through extension of existing roads and would provide a much-needed arts-oriented core that could increase surrounding property values. The project is in keeping with city plans for the area, which allow for “landmark” highrises.

Sexual assault

Suspicious death

Police seek help in identifying a man who sexually assaulted a woman in Fleetwood last weekend. A 25-year-old woman was walking home between 5 and 6 p.m. Sunday 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 attacked her. Suspect The assailant is described as 25 to 35 years old, about six feet tall, Composite sketch pale skinned, with a gaunt face, deep-set facial features, prominent high cheekbones and no facial hair. He was wearing black, soccerstyle track pants with white stripes, an oversized dark hoodie and black sneakers with white soles.

Mounties are investigating a suspicious death at a home in North Surrey this week. Officers were called to the 14300-block of 115 Avenue at about 9:45 p.m. on Monday, where a homeowner found a 41-year-old woman dead. The death was determined sudden and suspicious. Further details were not available at press time.

Crime-spree arrest A Delta man was arrested in Surrey Sunday, following a crime spree that included robberies, collisions and a stabbing that spanned three cities. At 6 p.m. Sunday, a man was speeding on Highway 91 in Richmond when he rear-ended a minivan with three people in it. The van was sent spinning, and the man took off on foot. Then, an elderly man was stabbed several times during a home invasion on Deerfield Crescent. His attacker stole a car and got into a crash in Vancouver, near Victoria Drive and 27 Avenue. The man fled and allegedly tried to rob someone using a bank machine. Police believe the same man stole a car from a family of four at a gas station across the street. A few hours later, a grey Honda Civic was spotted in Delta. The driver took off and got into a collision near 109 Avenue and 132A Street in Surrey, then fled on foot. After a lengthy search, police dogs tracked down a 30-year-old suspect in a heavily wooded ravine. Vancouver Police Department’s major-crimes section has taken over the investigation.

Man shot Gunfire erupted in a North Surrey convenience store 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 together in a truck and then walked to the back of the store, where one pulled out a gun and shot the other in the back. The bullet also caused damage to his groin area. As of press deadline, the 29-year-old Surrey man was in surgery and was expected to survive.

Man stabbed A man is recovering from a stab wound to the abdomen and wrist after an altercation in Whalley. A passerby found the bleeding man at 108 Avenue and 135 Street at about 10:45 p.m. Monday, claiming he had been stabbed. The 26-year-old said he had been in an altercation with two males and one female,when one of them pulled a knife and stabbed him. He was listed in stable, non-life-threatening condition.

On social media, Rook credited the groundswell of support from fans and a flurry of media stories last year that thrust expedited removals into the spotlight. “Thank you so much to everyone for all the support during this fight,” Rook tweeted. Blaine lawyer Len Saunders, one of the attorneys who aided Rook, said it’s extremely rare for U.S. authorities to review and rescind border bans. “As an actor it would have killed his career,” Saunders said. “It should never have happened. He may have lost out on a whole bunch of opportunities over the last year.” He said CBP officials deserve credit for the reversal, but added the publicity was likely a factor. “There has to be a mechanism to get these rescinded other than going to the press.”

Guns-drawn takedown on Highway 99 Martin van den Hemel Black Press

Highway 99 commuters in Richmond got an unexpected show mid-afternoon Tuesday, when Mounties performed a guns-drawn takedown on a blue sedan near Cambie Road.

Cpl. Robert McDonald told Black Press Wednesday that RCMP received a report of a suspicious incident along Zero Avenue between two border crossings – likely South Surrey’s Peace Arch and Pacific Highway crossings – along with a vehicle description.

A Deas Island Freeway Patrol cruiser spotted the vehicle at 3 p.m., and conducted a Code 5 takedown. Two people were arrested, including the driver, and several bags with suspected narcotics were seized.

It’s up to us to stop the flu virus

ecent reports of death and illness stemming from the start of the influenza season underlines the importance of vaccinations. The most severe cases so far have been in Alberta, where health officials estimate the virus has killed 10 people. In B.C., while the numbers are not as high, Fraser Health reports 30 people in hospital, all suspected of having the H1N1 strain of the flu. One person has died, but it is not confirmed if H1N1 is to blame. To many, H1N1 is a familiar name. They remember the widespread concern when it was first identified as the “swine flu” in 2009. They also remember that despite dire warnings of an impending pandemic, the virus passed without much damage. For health officials, that success was a direct result of the intensive vaccination efforts made worldwide. To skeptics, however, it was just another sign of unwarranted alarm and manufactured panic. Indeed, it is easy to under-appreciate the flu threat. After all, who hasn’t contracted the virus at some point? For many, it’s simply part of winter and nothing worse than a nasty cold. What they forget is the fact that influenza is not some static disease. It is constantly changing to undermine the defenses we build. If successful, the consequences can be devastating. In 1918 the most deadly conflict the world had ever seen was nearing its bloody end. But as tragic as the First World War was, more people died in the flu pandemic that struck that year than in the entire war. Estimates put the global death toll at between 50 million and 100 million people. In Canada, the disease claimed 50,000 lives – many of them young and in their prime of life. Many would like to think that the scale of that pandemic is ancient history. But the fact is the only thing preventing its resurgence are the actions we take to contain an outbreak. We have the tools at our disposal to reduce the risk. But it’s up to us to use them.

2010 WINNER

one occasion was asked by my wife, “What’s your problem, anyway?” But alas, I pulled through. In fact, I was in a good enough mood recently that, rather than dig through the pantry for a long-forgotten stash of candy, I decided I’d be productive and do a little tidying up. So off I went to rid my house of garbage, old magazines, stacks of longago-paid bills, and other clutter. And that’s when I found them, a stack of old newspapers from June 2011, the cover of each one detailing the Vancouver Canucks’ run to what we all assumed would be a Stanley Cup parade. I, like many diehard fans, was confident enough in the team’s chances that I’d kept the papers as keepsakes. I remember thinking at the time that I’d frame them, and add them to my memorabiliacluttered basement. Obviously, things didn’t quite work out. The first few in the stack weren’t so bad. “HOME RUN” one front-page headline shouted in huge letters. But the deeper into the stack, the sadder it got. The headline at the bottom of the pile was “Boston Massacre.” I didn’t keep anymore after that. Talk about a buzzkill. So rather than hang proudly in my basement, the papers instead had a date with the blue box outside. I would’ve burned them if I could have. And it was there, staring down at the discarded papers, that I realized how tough this whole pursuit of happiness thing actually is. Maybe I should just stay grouchy. Stick with what works.

Keep the trains moving

Bright idea for tunnel

That way the journey won’t seem Like going down a mine. Instead with lights and vision, We’ll get to work on time. Peter Clay, Surrey

Editor: Re: Cities present four rail-route options, Nov. 28, and ensuing letters. The rail-line relocation proposal has nothing to do with pandering to the “rich” or “elites” of White Rock or South Surrey, as is being frequently claimed. The naysayers who are railing – excuse the unintended pun – against the rail-line relocation, on that basis, have misunderstood the issue. Rather, it has all to do with growing the B.C. economy by expanding the Surrey Fraser Docks and increasing the transportation of goods to and from our ports. The current tortuous singletrack through White Rock route is already operating at near capacity and can no longer safely satisfy the growing demand. It would be nice if people would stick to the facts and not indulge in ad hominem arguments. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is to be congratulated on her vision and leadership to facilitate growth of the B.C. economy, together with the job creation and increased wealth that will result. Surrey has much to gain from this project. Keith Knightson, White Rock Q Keep the tracks for commuter trains – as it was intended – and move the freight trains to alternate tracks more suitable to heavy train traffic/loads! Tom Martin Sr., White Rock

Editor: The problem with the tunnel As all can plainly see, Is that it’s too dark in there To drive with certainty.

No place to ban children

When going through the entrance Into the depths of dark, Some people slow down so much, You think they’re going to park. Because they’ve got their shades on While texting on the phone, Young drivers show their brake lights As older drivers moan. The easy way to solve this And make the traffic flow: Just brighten up the tunnel, And make the inside glow. Get a man who has a brush To paint the walls in white, And wires with electricity Should power lots of light.

Editor: Re: Pubs should stay the domain of adults, Jan. 2 Columnist Brenda Anderson’s opinion piece – on children not belonging in the pubs she likes to go to – is the very unwelcoming, unloving, anti-life sentiment that is discouraging our world from being open to the wonderful gift of children and contributing Canada’s all-time-low fertility rate 1.5 children per woman. We need a rate of 2.1 if we’re going to replace ourselves. Do we really want to join Japan, Italy, China, Spain, Germany and dozens of other countries

contending with fertility rates well below replacement levels? Yes, kids are disruptive and distracting, but you were once one, too. And the only way for any of us to learn how to behave like a grown-up is to be offered opportunities to practise it, not to be relegated to “Chuck E. Cheese” and “Go Bananas”, like Anderson suggests. Pubs are just as good a place as any restaurant for families to practise good public behaviours. If Anderson knew anything about children and families, she’d understand that children belong near the protective and teaching arms of their parents and should be welcome in all areas of society, not left at home with a babysitter. I’d far prefer to live in a childloving culture that welcomes even their youngest members at all their parties, restaurants and special events – i.e. South America, Philippines – not a barren one that views children as a necessary inconvenience. Julie Lornie, Langley

It’s become a pain to park Editor: Re: Pay-park machines a ‘hot’ item at bus loop, Dec. 24. As daily commuters – and I am just one of hundreds, obviously, as they had to create a secondary parking lot, as so many cars were unable to park at the South Surrey Park & Ride – we have been treated horribly since last fall. We are the backbone of the system. We pay the highest fares. Since forcing riders to pay for parking, use of the lot for morning commute has dropped 40 per cent or so. Usually, the lot would have been 90 per cent full at 7 a.m. Now, you can park in the first few rows. To add insult to the injury of now having to pay for the use of this transit hub, where once there were three pay stations, now they have given us one machine to be used. The machines are being stolen at a rapid rate – perhaps for the credit card information in the swipe mechanism – and now they want you to line up in a queue of 20 people? It is a slow process to pay for your parking. What is behind this disgusting treatment of their daily, loyal commuters? Way to go, TransLink. I can’t think of a reason why people would continue to use this system. Natalie Chadwick, Surrey

Raynard von Hahn, Susan Hunter-Jivung and Rebecca Lawrence expressed concern last month over church plans.

It would be a loss to community Editor: Re: Church divided over housing proposal, Dec. 12. The drastic actions planned by First United Church of White Rock – to assure the future of the church because of financial problems – has reached the public press. The plan is to construct more than 70 condominiums on the property, with space reserved for a church in their midst. In order to obtain sufficient area on which to build enough units, the beautiful, historic church building is to be demolished. Many church members and adherents are deeply concerned about this plan. It will also result in a serious loss to the community. For example, this building has good acoustics. Many organizations rent it to present concerts and other public presentations because there are few other buildings available in this area with equivalent features. The recent packed community Christmas dinner held there made use of the excellent kitchen facilities and dining area. (This Christmas Day meal, incidentally, was originally organized by the late Rev. Howard Filsinger, after several suicides because of loneliness the

previous Christmas Day). To construct a multipurpose building like this today would cost millions of dollars. The financial problems of First United Church are not unique. Many of the mainline Protestant churches in White Rock, South Surrey and beyond are experiencing the same problems. Yet churches like these are so essential to help parents teach love, forgiveness and concern for others. Think of Nelson Mandela, who grew up in a Methodist Church – one of the denominations that formed the United Church of Canada in 1925. His almost unbelievable ability to forgive makes us realize that these teachings have enormous consequences in the lives of people, and even of countries. Nationally, constructing condominiums on church property is gaining as a way to aid in their financing. But, surely some way – such as church amalgamation, or another plan – can be found to maintain this particular building. In addition, its structure fits well in the neighbourhood in which it is located. Florence Brownridge, White Rock

45 officers needed, says councillor

Surrey ‘behind on promise’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

The City of Surrey has fallen behind in providing police officers, according to a councillor. Coun. Barinder Rasode says Surrey needs 45 officers this year to come up the promise 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.” 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

Bill Fordy assured the crowd that improving residents’ safety is a long-term goal, but said the priority now is to get Paskall’s killer off the street. Fordy said he was embarrassed by one man’s complaint that he was ignored by seven officers during a visit to the area’s community policing station, which attendees said should stay open longer. Another attendee recounted being told by a police officer that she was a nuisance for continually reporting crimes. “Police officers, please do your job, don’t tell us we’re a pain in the butt,” she said. “We’re not trying to be (a pain), we’re trying to be good citizens.” Many attendees said they don’t bother reporting crimes they see taking place because they don’t believe anything will be done.

uestion: My uncle, who had no wife or children, died about two weeks ago and left his whole estate to myself and my three cousins. I have been calling the executor to Ànd out when the reading of the will takes place. I understood that it was the law that the will was read to all the beneÀciaries in a lawyers ofÀce and I haven’t heard a word. I would like to get my money in a couple of weeks so I can pay my debts and quit my job. What gives with the delay?

nswer: Firstly, there is no reading of the will as happens in the movies. Secondly in British Columbia, you probably will have to wait at least six months before any money can be paid by the executors. There are a number of court documents that must be prepared and Àled in the Probate Division of the Supreme Court, they must be scrutinized and approved by the government ofÀcials and they are seriously backlogged. After that there are more documents that must be prepared and signed before money is released. I suggest that you keep your job for a while.

Complex-care tower subject of ‘considerable angst’

Architect fears loss of beds Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

If White Rock rejects a proposed eight-storey complex-care tower, the city will likely lose the new beds entirely, the project architect cautioned. “If this project doesn’t go ahead, I fear… these beds will be lost to White Rock,” Mark Ankenman said during a last month’s meeting of the land-use committee. The 199-bed project – eyed for the Evergreen Baptist site, 1550 Oxford St. – includes 92 new complex-care beds announced in October by Fraser Health. In light of “considerable angst” surrounding the proposed tower – which would replace two fourstorey buildings – city officials opted to delay public hearings until the new year. They also asked the architect

for more information, including a shadowing profile that would show the tower’s impact on views from neighbouring buildings. Coun. Al Campbell said his key concern is the impact to residents of the 12-storey Belaire, who have also expressed concern over increased traffic and blocked sunlight. About three dozen residents attended the first land-use meeting, held Nov. 18. At the next, Dec. 16, the crowd was standingroom only. Neither was open for public comments. At the latter, Ankenman used computer modelling to show the tower would not take away any southwest ocean views from the Belaire, but would impact southern views. A majority of the Belaire units are southwest-oriented, he noted.

While Fraser Health has required that existing beds remain until the new facility is ready, Campbell said he’d prefer to see the tower rise from the same footprint. “Right now, it’ll be in the face of people that weren’t expecting it to be there,” Campbell said said. “I’d like you really to go find another way to do this.” Asked if the new building could be moved closer to the buildings it will replace, Ankenman said that would have to be negotiated with the fire department. If approval is gained there, it could be done “with great hardship,” he said. “We’re willing to reopen that discussion.” Council is expected to consider first and second reading of the requested bylaw amendment Monday.

FREEZER PACKS

Despite dip in proceeds, more than $6,000 raised

Annual tree chip a success White Rock firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual Christmas tree chipping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a tradition thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a win-win for almost 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is again being hailed a success, despite a dip in final proceeds. Firefighter Mike Stark estimated 750 trees were brought to Centennial Arena parking lot for chipping last weekend, raising $6,400 for the crewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; charity association. In recent years, the event has

raised closer to $8,000. Stark figured some â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was lost to organizations that hosted two-day events, and said as a result, thought is being given to expanding the White Rock event next year. Regardless, the event was a positive one, Stark said. People bringing trees for chipping waited less than 30 seconds to be relieved of their firs.

Some attendees have become familiar faces over the years, includingÂ one family that, for the past five years, has shown up with firefighter hats on. Stark said the event relies on donations of time and services. All of the donations received are returned to the community through the firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; charitable efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tracy Holmes

Hundreds of hardy souls rang in the new year last week with a chilly dip into the waters off White Rock beach. “It was a good event,” said Kyle McKay, secretary for the Peace Arch Monarch Lions club that hosted the Jan. 1 Polar Bear Swim. “We’re guessing we had about 550 registered swimmers and about 150 non-registered.” But McKay said it’s still too soon to say what, if any, difference the turnout means to the swim’s future.

rotary roundup

Each member is involved in the areas that he/she is interested. There are plenty of exciting events and projects to enjoy. One of the most valuable and rewarding aspects of membership is in getting to know many wonderful people in your local community and in getting to know your community well. I feel so much more a part of the Semiahmoo Peninsula community since joining my club in 2002. It has become so much a part of who I am. Rotary does not just fundraise – although we do that – but we also get our hands dirty in building things, planting gardens and street cleaning to name a few. And sometimes we just have fun with others in our clubs and in the community. We direct our efforts in areas to enhance our local and global impact. Our most successful and sustainable projects and activities tend to fall within the following areas: • Peace and conflict prevention/resolution. Rotary has been fighting Polio since 1987 with inoculation of children worldwide. • Disease prevention and treatment • Water and sanitation

LIBRA

Now may be the time to try something new, Aries. You are not one to shy away from anything, but right now you're a bit apprehensive about things. Take a leap of faith.

Feeling homesick, Libra? If so, make some post-holiday plans to visit with friends or family you didn't get a chance to see during the holidays. Enjoy this time spent with loved ones.

TAURUS Taurus, many people look to you as a leader, and they are wise to do so. You are especially trustworthy, and you will be asked to solve a few problems this week.

GEMINI Gemini, there won't be much time to enjoy recreational activities this week, so you may have to find a new way to let loose. Rest assured there will be more time for fun down the road.

TCancer, a new opportunity comes your way but you're not quite sure if you're ready for such drastic changes. Take your time before making a final decision.

LEO Leo, no matter how hard you try, some people just can't see things from your point of view. Don't take this personally, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

VIRGO Virgo, sometimes it seems like you have all of the answers, while at other times, you might not know how to approach a situation. Take some time to analyze your approach.

Participants will learn: • Ways to cope after the hospital stay ends • Tips and strategies to make life easier at home • How to find support in the community • How to prevent another stroke • Speech, excercise, yoga and music therapies Life will not be the same - but it can be productive, enjoyable and sometimes better.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, now is a good time to make resolutions and reconnect with distant friends. It is good to rekindle relationships and commit to spending more time with friends and family.

CAPRICORN After time away for the holidays, getting back into a routine can be challenging, Capricorn. But you like to stick to a schedule, and getting back on track is the way to do it.

AQUARIUS Aquarius, although you have many friends, you recently have only spent time with a select few. This week is a great time to reach out to those friends you haven't seen in awhile.

PISCES Your competitive juices will be flowing this week, Pisces. Enjoy the competitive atmosphere but don't take things too far.

SAFARI IN AFRICA – MARCH 2015!

on a me! y n n Gi ifeti Join p of a L Tri fari

MARCH 6-21 2015

9899.00 CAD Plus international air

by Ginny Harrison, White Rock Travel I invite you to join me on a trip of a lifetime: BOTSWANA! White Rock Travel’s special group safari to Botswana will be Mar 6 – 21, 2015, and is limited to only 12 people!

Time and again, through my 35+ years at White Rock Travel, I’ve heard the best game viewing in all of Africa is in Botswana – let’s explore it together! There’s a huge difference between being on Safari in East Africa – Kenya and Tanzania – and being on safari in Southern Africa – especially Botswana. They are both excellent and both offer totally different experiences. For example, in Botswana, we fly by small plane between the camps, whereas in East Africa, there are often long driving days over rough roads. The Camps (canvas and thatch) featured on my trip are luxurious – and very different than staying in a safari lodge. Ask me for further comparisons! We stay in intimate, boutique-style camps, available only to small groups and individuals, in some of the best locations in the national parks. Our game drives will be in open 4 X 4 landrovers, with expert trackers and rangers. We’ll glide through the waterways in mokoros, and enjoy walking safaris with our local tracker. Our basic itinerary will include 7 nights Botswana, then 2 nights to see Victoria Falls, Zambia, followed by time in Cape Town, and the wine area: Stellenbosch. This fly in safari will visit three completely different and phenomenal ecological areas of Botswana: the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta, and the Linyanti Reserve. Each area offers a totally new wildlife experience, because the environment is so different in each! For example, woodlands habitat attracts a different mix of mammals than the Namib desert, and the wetlands of the

Okavango Delta will be different again! This ensures a diverse experience and shows us the variety of African wildlife and birdlife that Botswana has to offer! We start in the Kalahari, in ensuite canvas tents, each with a sleep out above, so we can enjoy the star studded nights. The summer rains will bring the grasses and plains to life, with hundreds of springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest, which in turn attract the major predators, such as lion and cheetah. Then we fly by light aircraft on to the Okavango Delta, and stay at Little Vumbura Camp. This beautiful six-roomed tented camp features spacious accommodation, with en-suite, open air shower, and views of the surroundings. A plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains, and there’s a star deck leading off the dining area. Game viewing is consistently good all year with elephant, sable and buffalo along with extensive plains game. It’s also home to ample predators: lion, leopard and cheetah. From here, we fly on to the Linyanti Reserve, for our stay at Duma Tau Camp. This camp has tented rooms under thatch, with ensuite facilities and outdoor showers. The rooms and main area are all connected on elevated wooden walkways. Large elephant herds usually traverse the area, with excellent year round wildlife viewing, and birdwatching is a definite highlight. We say goodbye to Botswana, as we travel on to Toka Leya camp, near Victoria Falls in Zambia. The swiftly moving Zambeze River rushes past our camp, with hippo, crocodile and elephant regularly seen in or along the Zambezi River. We’ll marvel at the incredible Victoria Falls – then its off to Cape Town! We enjoy three nights in Cape Town, with tours to Cape Point and around the City, and finish off with two nights in Stellenbosch, in the heart of the Cape Winelands! Please call White Rock Travel and we will be happy to share more details with you! This safari will be amazing – I find Africa changes people forever – join me on this wonderful trip of a lifetime! -Ginny Harrison, White Rock Travel.

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.

The highs and lows of driving on a German Autobahn 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 I wound up the A6 journey you will be disappointed. In recent years, to 200 km/h for less I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along high-speed than a minute and shortly after I managed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for to hit 220 km/h, but a variety of high-powered that lasted all of 20 cars. One of the most memorable seconds. trips I drove was the 585 Keith Morgan 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. Next week: The so-called Texas Autobahn. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Driveway editor Keith Morgan shares his experience driving the Autobahn in an Audi A6.

Signal 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.

Power: A 3.7 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 325 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle.

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 provid-

ing 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. Not something I expected with this type of luxury.

gain. Internationally noted concert pianist and musical educator Eugene Skovorodnikov – who begins a new city-sponsored fourconcert classical musical series at White Rock’s First United Church next month – left his native land in 1990. “I went to a music festival in Italy and just ‘forgot’ to go back,” is the way he puts it. “It was the period of the pre-Yeltsin disintegration of everything. We felt it, but we didn’t how it would end up – or that it would end up the way it has. We felt the system just didn’t work any more.” Skovorodnikov’s distinguished career has since included performances at such famous venues as the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Hall (Russia), the Theatre Bibiena (Mantova, Italy), the Grand Theatre (Shenzhen, China), and the Xinghai Concert Hall (Guangzhou, China). He also spent 20 years on the music faculty at UBC before deciding to devote his time to the Vancouver International School

Eugene Skovorodnikov’s series runs until May.

Noted musicians to join in series could stand in a lineup for an hour and a half at -28 F temperatures to buy a half a kilo of cheese.” “Later, when I’d tell people in Italy about this, they’d ask what kind of cheese. They couldn’t comprehend it was just cheese, that’s all. There was only one kind – that’s all there was.” Skovorodnikov said he really had no plan, beyond leaving the Soviet Union. But after he found concert work in Italy, and was able to bring his then-wife and son to the country, he started looking for other opportunities. On Jan. 18, 1991 – almost 23 years ago to the day, he landed in Vancouver. “I’m thankful every day I made this choice – the best place in Canada, the best country in the world,” he said. And though he has made frequent returns to Russia as a performer since 2001 – it’s been a point of pride to be there as a representative of Canada. “I’m a Canadian, psychologically,” he said. “Every time I leave (Russia) again I feel lucky and happy.” Tickets are $25 ($15 seniors and students) for each concert, or all four for $80 ($50 for seniors and students) are available at Kent Street Activity Centre, Centennial Arena, White Rock Community Centre and Surrey Arts Centre.

i from page 27 He looks into a composition not only as a pianist, but also as a conductor and a composer.” Before he left his homeland almost a quarter of a century ago, Skovorodnikov had risen to a position of prestige in the Russian cultural world. The son of musicians, he was a prodigy who learned to play the piano almost by osmosis from hearing his mother teach while he was still in the crib (“it sounds cliche, but it’s also the truth,” he declared). Beginning formal piano studies at five, the former Ukraine resident was himself teaching by the time he was 16 and teaching at college level when he was 23. A few years later, he was invited to become the youngest faculty member of the famous and historic St. Petersburg Conservatory. “I was happy to be invited to teach there after I completed postgraduate studies,” he said. Yet, at the same time he felt he was “suffocating” in the then Soviet Union – not the least because of the hardships of working three jobs to survive and provide for a family on the meager salary he was given. Skovorodnikov recalls standing in queues for the chance to buy groceries – “and this is for essentials – I’m talking, literally, about bread,” he added. “I remember once I cancelled teaching a few classes so that I

Dawn Derringer’s paintings on display

Art envisions astral travels Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Semiahmoo Peninsula artist Dawn Derringer’s current show of paintings, Peripeteia, runs at Good Day Sunshine Café, 100 - 2950 King George Blvd., until Jan. 31. An agent, executive director and project co-ordinator for more than 35 years in the movie, television and recording industries, she has also been painting since the age of four. A native of North Vancouver, Derringer furthered her artistic education at Grant MacEwan University College in Edmonton, receiving the Grant MacEwan Multimedia Award in 1995. Refocusing on her artwork over the last two years, Derringer has studied with accomplished Canadian painter Dianne Alexandria McRae. Following an exploration of acrylics, she is now experimenting with watercolours to create expressionistic, semi-abstract works inspired by polyphonic composition, dramatic contrasts,

These themes are highly evident in her latest work, which envisions ‘astral travels’ through a dream technique called astral projection – allowing the human spirit to travel beyond the earthly forces of chaos and confusion.

The title Peripeteia, drawn from Greek philosophy, represents a “sudden or unexpected change of situation or events; a turning point or reversal of circumstances.” For more information on Derringer’s show and café opening hours, call 778-9890369.

Panto scene of proposal

Thursday, January 9, 2014 Peace Peace Arch Arch News News

arts & entertainment Alex Browne Arts Reporter

White Rock’s annual Christmas pantomime took a new and unexpected turn in its final performance. And the new denouement – a surprise marriage proposal – quickly became a YouTube hit. Joe Thompson, 31, proposed to fiancée Jennifer Tiles, 30, in front of a packed house at Coast Capital

Playhouse for the last show in the run of Rumpelstiltskin Dec. 28. Tears and white make-up, ran down the face of Tiles, in costume for her role as comic animal character ‘Rocky Raccoon’, as Thompson climbed onstage, serenaded her with a modified version of Enrique Iglesias’ Hero, then fell to his knees as he profferred her a ring and asked for her hand.

Faith

Quickly recovering in true trouper manner, she answered with a mockhowled “I do!” Date of the wedding, which will be in Hawaii, is June 28. “Jenny was really surprised,” Thompson told the Peace Arch News, adding that only a handful of people knew what he was planning, including the show’s director, Susanne de Pencier, and musical

director, Shelley Eckstein. “Susanne had prepped the cast that she was going to do a closing night speech,” Thompson said. While they were already informally engaged, Thompson said, he decided he wanted to go all out for a proper engagement speech, complete with ring. h t t p : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=mdee6uQdU8s

Surrey Eagles still banking on playoffs despite dealing veterans

‘We aren’t giving up on the year at all’ Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

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/GM Peter Schaefer has made one final move in advance of Friday’s 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 six-foot-three, 205-pound 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 i see page 35

All-Surrey tournament hosted by Tweedsmuir

Girls hit court for Firefighters Classic Rick Kupchuk Black Press

If the provincial rankings are accurate, the 13th annual Surrey Firefighters Goodwill Classic currently underway 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 Firefighters 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

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 Firefighters champions. They will tip-off against the Earl Marriott 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 will be played 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.

There were growing pains early, as young players adjusted to a new system, but the Bayside Sharks’ men’s rugby team improved enough as the season wore on to give their first-year coach hope for the spring. The Sharks, who were relegated from the premier division last spring, finished their Div. 1 fall schedule with a 6-3 mark – with wins or near-wins over some of the more veteran-laden sides in the division. Their 6-3 record put them fourth in the 10-team league, behind only the UBC Thunderbirds, Seattle and Richmond. “We played very strong the last four, five games, I thought,” said Angel Cividanes, who is in his first year with Bayside after joining the club from the Vancouver-based Meralomas. “We almost beat Seattle (in October), too. I’m very proud of the guys and how they played.” After a winter break that began in early December, the Div. 1 schedule will resume for the second half of the season in the first week of February. Bayside will get a jump on their competition, however, by heading to Portland at the end of this month for an exhibition game against a local team. Cividanes said the biggest improvement he saw in his club during the fall session was improved defence. As an outside observer of the club during his time elsewhere, he noted Bayside’s men’s team have always been able to score points, but often at the expense of a strong commitment to defence. Remedying that imbalance was one of his major goals this season, he said. “Bayside, historically, has always been an attacking side with very skilled players, but defensively, they were giving away tries,” Cividanes explained. “It’s something we worked on. And in our last three games, we were very strong. We didn’t give up any tries against Abbotsford or Surrey (in late November).” Despite improvements this

season, Cividanes knows the rebuilding process – with an aim to get Bayside back into the BC Premier Rugby League – will

Pierog, Mulcahy ‘two warriors’ i from page 33 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. 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. The Eagles head north this weekend for a two-game series against the divisionrival Prince George Spruce Kings, who sit in second place in the Mainland Division, 13 points up on Surrey.

Injury update Jonah Renouf, the Eagles leading scorer, is still recovering from a scary incident Friday against the Cowichan Valley Capitals in which he suffered a blow to the head from Capitals’ Colton Kehler. He suffered a concussion on the play, and while he’s not likely to be in the lineup this weekend, Schaefer said he hoped his highscoring forward would not be out of the lineup too long. “He’s come a long way already. He wanted to skate today, actually, but we held him off,” said the coach. Kehler was assessed a five-minute major penalty on the play, but will not be suspended, according to Schaefer. “The league took a look at it, and they decided it was incidental contact… it was just a freaky accident.” In 38 games this season, Renouf – whose twin bother, Nathan, is also on the team – has 13 goals and 41 points.

Hawks winless in Calgary Rick Kupchuk Black Press

After five days in Calgary at the Mac’s tournament, the Valley West Hawks will resume play in the BC Hockey Major Midget League this 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 is in third place in the provincial elite league with a 17-8-1 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. Valley West began the tournament with a 5-1 loss to the South Side Athletic Club of Edmonton, with Luke Gingras 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 scoring for the Hawks. Valley West came back in the third period with three unanswered goals, all of which were assisted by Matt Bradley. Jordan Funk began the rally with a pair, then Surrey defenceman Paul Savage scored the tying goal with 1:16 to play. In the third game, against 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. Mitch Newsome, late in the second period, and Funk, with his second of the game, also scored for the Hawks, each goal pulling the B.C. team to within one. A 6-2 loss to the Calgary Royals completed the tournament for the Hawks. Bradley finished as the leading scorer for the Hawks with a goal and six assists.

OBITUARIES

PONTIFEX DR. ALEXANDER HUGH AUGUST 5 1927- DECEMBER 25 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Alexander Hugh Pontifex, known to family, friends and colleagues as “Hugh”, he lived his life with kindness, intelligence and integrity. He was the loving husband of 63 years to Margaret. Forever loved and missed by his children Greg, Brian (Sue), Alison (Jeff), and predeceased by his daughter Katherine (1978). Known and loved as Grand Dad by his nine grandchildren Carly, Erik, Dylan, Alex, Holly, Jack, Rachelle, Laurel and Nicholas. He grew up in Burnaby B.C. and went to U.B.C. where he obtained his B.Sc. in 1951. From there he entered the first graduating class of the new U.B.C. Medical school (class of 1954). He did his Internship at Vancouver General Hospital. Hugh then moved to Merritt to work as a General Practitioner for three years. He left general practice to do post graduate work, first in England then in San Jose California and became a F.R.C.P. in pathology in 1964. He had a long and successful career as a Pathologist, sub-specializing in Hematopathology and was one of the original partners of B.C.Bio Medical Laboratories. Hugh retired at age 70 to spend the next 16 years as Grand Dad, hiking, skiing, golfing, traveling and spending time with his wife, extended family and best friend Dr. Bill Martin on Galiano island. Hugh will be forever missed, but never forgotten. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Dr. and Mrs. A.H. Pontifex Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will be awarded to a high school student from the Burnaby area that excels in the sciences (cheques can be forwarded to 3215 31 Ave Vernon B.C. V1T 2H2). A Celebration of Life will be held at the Hart House, 6444 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby on January 18 2014, starting at 1 pm. Photos and memories may be shared at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca We would also like to say a special thanks to Dr. Prentice, Dr. Thornton, Dr. Lockhart and the nurses at Peace Arch Hospital who took such good care of him during the last month of his life.

LIBRA

Now may be the time to try something new, Aries. You are not one to shy away from anything, but right now you're a bit apprehensive about things. Take a leap of faith.

Feeling homesick, Libra? If so, make some post-holiday plans to visit with friends or family you didn't get a chance to see during the holidays. Enjoy this time spent with loved ones.

Taurus, many people look to you as a leader, and they are wise to do so. You are especially trustworthy, and you will be asked to solve a few problems this week.

Gemini, there won't be much time to enjoy recreational activities this week, so you may have to find a new way to let loose. Rest assured there will be more time for fun down the road.

SCORPIO

Scorpio, you like to stay busy. But you sometimes feel overwhelmed with all that you have to do. Stop biting off more than you can chew and take things one task at a time.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, now is a good time to make resolutions and reconnect with distant friends. It is good to rekindle relationships and commit to spending more time with friends and family.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHERS Re: The estate of BARRIE COHEN, deceased, formerly of 1444 King George Boulevard, in the City of Surrey, in the Province of British Columbia V4A 4Z4. Creditors and others having claims against the estate of BARRIE COHEN are hereby notified under section 38 of the Trustee Act that particulars of their claims should be sent to the Administratrix, RACHEL COHEN LUNNING, c/o Wilson Rasmussen LLP, at #300-15127 100th Avenue, Surrey, British Columbia, on or before February 23, 2014, after which date the Administratrix will distribute the estate among the parties entitled to it, having regard to the claims of which the Administratrix then has notice.

TCancer, a new opportunity comes your way but you're not quite sure if you're ready for such drastic changes. Take your time before making a final decision.

LEO Leo, no matter how hard you try, some people just can't see things from your point of view. Don't take this personally, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

VIRGO Virgo, sometimes it seems like you have all of the answers, while at other times, you might not know how to approach a situation. Take some time to analyze your approach.

CAPRICORN

After time away for the holidays, getting back into a routine can be challenging, Capricorn. But you like to stick to a schedule, and getting back on track is the way to do it.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, although you have many friends, you recently have only spent time with a select few. This week is a great time to reach out to those friends you haven't seen in awhile.
