Taxi driver among three arrested – then released – near Peace Arch Hospital

‘Crack shack’ arrests follow gunfire Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Three people were arrested and released following police gunfire in White Rock last week. Officers say the takedown was connected to the investigation of a “known crack shack.” Sgt. Peter Thiessen said Friday the trio – for which he would not release any information, including age – have also not been charged “at this point.”

They were arrested in the 1500-block of Finlay Street near Peace Arch Hospital around noon Wednesday, after police fired at a vehicle as three suspects attempted to flee the area. No injuries were reported. At the scene, a white taxi was in the middle of the road, its front doors open and the window of its right front passenger-side smashed out. Thiessen would not say if it was a gunshot

that shattered the window, nor would he comment on how many shots were fired. “That’s part of the investigation determining exactly what occurred there, how many shots may have been fired,” he said. He did confirm that the driver of the cab was one of the three who were arrested. Witnesses told Peace Arch News Wednesday that they also saw an elderly woman escorted by police from the taxi to a police car.

Thiessen would not comment on the details of the taxi’s involvement. Coquitlam RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit is conducting an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting. Thiessen said that investigation will look at the circumstances of the incident to determine “whether the officer was justified or not” in firing. i see page 4

Paramedics prepare to airlift a senior citizen who was ‘grazed’ by a train in White Rock Saturday evening, after the resident wandered from his care home. Officials say he is recovering.

Senior suffers broken ribs after wandering to the base of Oxford Street

Care-home resident survives being hit by train Tracy Holmes & Alex Browne Staff Reporters

A senior citizen was airlifted to hospital Saturday evening, after he was struck by a freight train on the White Rock waterfront. According to witnesses, a man in his 70s was hit as he wandered southbound on the tracks near Oxford Street and Marine Drive. He reportedly suffers from dementia and had wandered away from the nearby Evergreen Baptist Care Home shortly before. BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas

said Monday the incident occurred at 7:50 p.m., and every effort was made to stop the southbound, 125car train before impact. “Upon observing the subject – he was walking in the middle of the tracks – the train crew began whistling, they sounded the bell… went into an emergency-brake application,” Melonas said. “Unfortunately, the subject attempted to step off of the tracks at the last second and the crew reports grazing the individual with the lead locomotive. It wasn’t a direct strike.”

The train was travelling at 27 km/h when the senior was spotted, and was delayed two hours by the incident, he said. BNSF’s operating team continue to investigate, Melonas added. Evergreen is located at 1550 Oxford St., less than a kilometre north of the waterfront down one of White Rock’s steepest streets. Home executive director Stephen Bennett told Peace Arch News it is “amazing” that the resident – who, to this point, has lived in a wing that does not restrict in/out privileges –

was not more seriously injured. “The information we received from the hospital is that he has two or three broken ribs and a few abrasions – he’s doing remarkably well,” Bennett said. The incident may, however, prompt a change in policy. Bennett said Evergreen is not yet equipped with security devices employed by other care homes, such as bracelets that will trigger an alarm if restricted residents attempt to leave the building. “What we want to determine and

review is whether (having in/out privileges) is appropriate for residents,” he said. “When all is said and done… is it even reasonable to have that? Or are there technologies that we can be putting in place so that something like this never, ever happens again?” (A new care tower proposed for the Evergreen site was to be the subject of a public hearing at White Rock Community Centre Monday evening, after PAN press time.) i see page 2

Rail-safety plans ‘not a factor’ i from page 1 Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma confirmed the authority will also be looking into the incident, as it contracts with Evergreen for care beds. “Steps would be taken if necessary, but it’s too early to say what those steps would be,” Juma said. White Rock RCMP Const. Shaileshni Molison confirmed the BNSF engineer did sound the train’s horn prior to impact. She said the police investigation will include speaking further with railway representatives. Any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police are asked to call 778-593-3600. Saturday’s incident occurred just 6½ months after the death of jogger Anita Lewis, who was struck as she crossed the tracks on East Beach. A coroner’s investigation into the fatality remains “active and ongoing.” That incident prompted Transport Canada to order the City of White Rock and BNSF to complete a joint rail-safety review of the city’s six pedestrian crossings. The three parties met last Wednesday to discuss a consultant’s findings, and efforts are now underway to develop a work plan

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the improvements identified, had they been in place already, would “absolutely not” have prevented Saturday’s incident. “It wouldn’t have affected it one way or the other,” he said. That it happened, however, does strengthen the argument for relocating the tracks, he said. “It emphasizes that there’s going to be these interactions between pedestrians and trains,” Baldwin said. “The more trains there are… the more people we have here, the more likely something like that’s going to occur.”

White Rock councillors pay city charges after receiving request to waive homeless-fundraiser fees

Politicians pitch in after cold-night plea Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Talk of a fundraiser aimed at helping keep people out of the cold led to a warm offer by four White Rock councillors. The solution followed an appeal by Sources’ Denise Darrell for the city to waive $420 in banner and facility-rental fees in connection with the non-profit organization’s upcoming ‘Coldest Night’ evening-walk event. Coun. Louise Hutchinson, in her role as acting mayor, suggested the group should apply for a grant-in-aid “as soon as possible.” However, Coun. Al Campbell had another thought – “I’ll help pay for that.” Campbell’s offer was quickly echoed by Couns. Grant Meyer, Larry Robinson and Bill Lawrence.

Judy Peterson talks about the rent bank. Sources’ executive director David Young told council the event is a first for White Rock. Set for Feb. 22, it has been held in communities across Canada since 2011, and takes place during what is typically the cold-

est month of the year. This week, overnight temperatures are forecast to dip as low as -10C. Environment Canada issued a statement Monday advising that wind chill could bring that down to -20. Young noted there are about 50 identified homeless people in the White Rock area. The Coldest Night experience – challenging participants to walk two, five or 10 kilometres in the chilly night air – is intended to provide a glimpse of what those who are homeless face on a daily basis this time of year. Fundraiser proceeds will help “the homeless, the hurting and the hungry,” Young said. Locally, it will bolster Sources’ Rent Bank, a program that provides short-term microloans to eligible low-income residents in Surrey, Delta, White Rock, New Westmin-

ster and Langley. Launched in January 2010, it has so far helped keep a roof over the heads of more than 400 people. Last year, however, the rent bank ran out of funds in May – at which point the number of loans provided in 2013 (47) had doubled that given in all of 2012. The program receives about 1,300 applications annually. Young is hopeful the Coldest Night will draw 20 teams and raise at least $25,000 for the program. The walk routes begin and end at Sources’ White Rock office, 882 Maple St., starting at 5:15 p.m. Registration opens at 4 p.m. A warm, light meal will be served to all walkers and volunteers between 6-8 p.m. To sign up or for more information, visit coldestnightoftheyear.org

Sex crimes since 1986

Warning over new resident Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A high-risk sex offender with a lengthy criminal history plans to live in Surrey. BC Corrections issued a public notice Friday about the release of Narinder Wasan, 49. He is described as having a “versatile” pattern of sexual offending, having assaulted females of all ages dating back to 1986, and approaching strangers in public places. His crimes include sex assault, sex assault with a weapon, sexual interference, assault, failure to comply, uttering threats and breach of trust, as well as driving, property and drug offences. His most recent sexual offence, for Narinder Wasan which he was sex offender sentenced to five years in prison, took place in a Vancouver park. It was there that he attacked a 52-year-old woman, trying to tear off her clothing and pinning her on the ground. Prior to that, Wasan did jail time in 2005 for assaulting a 10-yearold girl on the grounds of an elementary school in Burnaby. He was high on cocaine at the time and offered two girls $100 to help him find his dog. He then kissed one of them on her neck and cheek. In 2007, he similarly approached young girls at a public swimming pool. He was also convicted for a 2003 assault in which he groped a 17-year-old in an elevator at a SkyTrain station. He is described as South Asian, 5’7”, weighing 180 pounds with a bald head and brown eyes. He is to abide by several courtordered conditions, including not being in contact with any female under 18 and no drugs or alcohol.

First Nations elders, including Tom Oleman (far right), are planning a four-day fast to respect the memory of a North Surrey murder victim.

Beating death of Janice Shore overshadowed, say First Nations trio

Elders honour ‘lower-profile’ victim Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Still strewn with spent hypodermic needles, condoms, snack bags and detritus from people who have used the city lot for everything from getting high to sleeping, this spot in North Surrey is sacred, native elders say. The vacant lot at 106 Avenue and 135A Street is where 45-year-old Janice Shore was beaten beyond recognition just over a year ago, an attack that eventually ended her life. The wanton act of violence deeply affected many in the community. Among them are three aboriginal elders – Tom Oleman, 68, Wally LaVigne, 64, and Bernie Parkinson, 73 – who work at the nearby Cwenengitel Aboriginal Housing Society, a recovery house for First Nations people. Some time ago, they attached aboriginal “spiritual ties” to a tree on the lot where Shore was found. Prior to her brutal assault on Dec. 2, 2012, Shore, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was last seen between 2:30 and 3 a.m. heading through the Flamingo Hotel parking lot looking for tobacco, then along Whalley’s notorious strip on 106 Avenue and 135A Street. She was later found slumped near a large tree on the vacant lot, moaning for help.

SUV hits two officers, pinning one between police cars

Crash no accident: RCMP

For a limited time only.

Kevin Diakiw

A man accused of driving his SUV into two police cars and injuring a pair of Surrey RCMP officers last week has been charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Police are alleging that James Burton Weaver, 47, intentionally tried to hit them and/or their cars. At about 3 p.m. on Jan. 27 in the parking lot outside the RCMP detachment in Newton, near 72 Avenue and 137 Street, a green Ford Explorer struck one police cruiser, pushing it into a second police vehicle. A female Mountie was inside the first car, while a male officer was on foot. The officer in the car suffered soft tissue injuries, a haematoma to her left shoulder and a torn rotator cuff. The officer on foot was pinned between the two police cruisers, but sustained only a minor injury to one leg. Both were taken to hospital and have been released. Weaver’s girlfriend, Kathy Labinsky, told CTV News he had recently gone off medication for depression. “He said that he was feeling good so he didn’t think he needed them, so he quit taking

editorial

It’s time to start listening to the courts

ast week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that elements of legislation around teacher bargaining rights are still unconstitutional, and served to provoke a strike, should stand as a final warning to the BC Liberals. The decision, announced to great fanfare from the BC Teachers Federation, was the second such determination by Justice Susan Griffin. In 2011 she ruled that Bill 28 – enacted in 2002, it stripped class size and composition from the collective agreement – was unconstitutional. Part of her reasoning was that it removed the right to bargain those items in future. She gave the BC Liberals a year to sort things out, but the government ignored the ruling and kept those elements out of Bill 22, the 2012 legislation that expires on June 30. Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose government has an eagle eye on costs, was no doubt nervous about the consequences of the ruling. The net result could see teachers and specialneeds assistants hired around the province to allow for smaller class sizes. He voiced disappointment with the ruling and claimed to have sought collaboration and co-operation in his discussions with the BCTF. That makes for a good sound bite, but government needs to focus more on the big picture, which means looking at the effect of its actions on the end users: students. No doubt it would cost more to create smaller classes, through hiring extra teachers and installing more assistants to work with students with special needs. But it would be a worthwhile investment. While we’re all for a fair bargaining structure, this is about more than teachers having slightly better working conditions. With fewer students in the room, those who need more individual help would, theoretically, have more chance to get a few minutes of their instructor’s time. Measuring that benefit to students, which is how governments must gauge such decisions, may be difficult in the short term. At the very least, returning class size and composition to contract discussions is a step toward creating a better learning environment for our children.

“But where was the NDP during the election campaign?” Ehrcke asked Dix. “You committed a measly $100 million – a third of what it will take to restore class sizes and less than the (NDP) platform in 2009, and only pocket change more than the Liberals’ Learning Improvement Fund of $75 million.” Note the mindset of this prominent member of the radical fringe that controls the BCTF. “A measly $100 million.” An extra $25 million? “Pocket change.” This is the same union boss who demanded that hundreds of teachers be hired this week, so reorganizing current classes in the middle of the school year to make them smaller by one or two students. Parents and students would endure yet another major disruption of the public school system. And who needs an increase in rural ambulance service or drug and alcohol treatment for street kids? Let’s get those teacher-librarians back in schools, and slightly reduce class sizes to offset declining enrolment! No government – BC Liberal, NDP or Green Party – can let its unions control their own payroll, just as no private company can. That goes double for this union, which had its own obvious role in provoking an illegal strike in 2012. It made outrageous benefit demands and cancelled extra curriculars for months before it even specified its wage demand. Bargaining, if you can call it that, resumes this week. Both sides need to cease fire.

Complacency Discussion not street smart beats apathy Editor: Re: Existing roads won’t be eased, Jan. 21 letters. I believe letter-writer K. Smith is correct that the proposed extension of the short piece of 152A Street – presently running only from 20 Avenue to 19 Avenue – into or through the proposed tower/theatre site will not result in any significant road upgrade. But what about the extension of 19 Avenue across the north side of Bakerview Park? This would create routes whereby traffic from Highway 99, King George Boulevard or 16 Avenue could turn onto 154 Street or 156 Street to 19 Avenue and take it across the park and to the site. I have seen no written intention to build this extension, but it is clearly there on the plan for the Semiahmoo Town Centre – and, remembering the proposal to pave a piece of Bear Creek Park, we should not be complacent. If it was approved – possibly shortly after an election, when unpopular matters seem often to be decided – the heavy traffic on it will likely affect the residents of many local streets. K. Macdonald, Surrey

Editor: Re: Old man, take a look at your facts, Jan. 21 column. Has Neil Young missed the mark? The oilsands issue has many commentators. For instance, Jeremy Grantham, chief investment strategist of GMO, is pessimistic of oilsands both environmentally and as a long-term investment, arguing “solar power is getting cheaper by the minute.” For First Nations of northern Alberta, past events and present anecdotal evidence on health makes them cautious about development. Attitudes about First Nations have not always been based on science;

124 years ago Indian Commissioner Edgar Dewdney claimed high mortality rates on reserves were due to the physical nature of natives. In 1922, the Anti-Tuberculosis Commission of Saskatchewan stated that TB was hereditary for aboriginals. Today, contaminants are largely invisible (PCB, pesticides, heavy metals) and the effects on the body are subtle and hard to detect. In the 1950s, the water supply of the Ojibwe of Grassy Narrows in Ontario showed signs of pollution. Ottawa ignored the problem, so the Ojibwe invited Japanese scientists to investigate. They discovered methyl-mercury was being dumped into the river, causing ‘minamate disease,’ a motor and nervous disorder. An out-of-court settlement compensating the band

was reached in 1985. In regard to treaties, anthropologist Edward Hedican notes country food provides a significant proportion of food for natives in the north, but that development diminishes wildlife habitat and fish stocks. Treaty 8 guarantees access to hunting, fishing, and gathering, but oil expansion in Alberta threatens caribou populations and water purity. Neil Young does many benefit concerts – BP Gulf oil spill, Farm Aid and even once joined Randy Bachman in an anti-pulp mill protest in Duncan. Young’s willingness to take a public stand ought to be encouraged as it promotes discussion, not apathy. Bob Burgel, Surrey

quote of note

For governments and authorities to acknowledge a problem would mean they would have to do something about it.a Linda Ewart

We’re wireless and in the dark Editor: Re: Waves of the future, Jan. 23 letters. So many of us are left deliberately in the dark when it comes to the deployment of wireless infrastructure in our neighbourhoods. Until awareness is raised, this invasive and unhealthy technology will continue to appear at a rapid rate in our community living spaces; seemingly convenient for us, insanely lucrative for the wireless industry, and ultimately deadly. There is so much evidence now to show that the RF emissions from wireless antennas and cell towers are harmful at a cellular level; yet Health Canada and our own B.C. health authorities continue to disregard new information. They are content with old science and outdated beliefs about safety, and use Safety Code 6 as an excuse to continue as usual. The U.S., Britain and Canada have among the worst safety standards in the world when it comes to RF limits. The wireless industry’s ace in the hole is that a misled and uninformed public demands this technology, and manufacturers are simply “meeting a need.” For governments and authorities to acknowledge a problem would mean they would have to do something about it. Health authorities will not act to protect us unless we are aware of the problem and speak up, as letterwriter Carl Katz is doing with his letter and in his daily life. Linda Ewart, White Rock

YOUR FINANCIAL WELLNESS

Thoughts on Tax Free Savings

There is Wealth Through Partnership

Good potential for investments, if they reflect personal savings style Thanks to the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA), the earnings potential on your investments can now soar. That’s because money in a TFSA will grow tax free. Think about that: you can earn income that isn’t subject to any tax. I am very enthusiastic about TFSAs and I am convinced they are appropriate for just about everyone who is interested in saving money. However, not all TFSAs are created equal. The investment you hold inside of your Tax Free Savings accounts should reflect your personal savings style. Are you an aggressive investor? Risk averse? Happy with middle of the road returns? They should also make sense, given the rest of your portfolio, so that all your investments can work together to help you reach your financial goals. Many people are unaware that TFSA investments can include, among other

things, GICs and Mutual Funds. If you are not familiar with how TFSAs work, here are a few important points to remember: • Contribute up to $5,500 in 2014 • Earn tax-free investment income, including capital gains and dividends • Don’t pay taxes on withdrawals • Name beneficiaries to bypass Probate and Estate issues • Remain eligible for government benefits and tax credits, no matter how much accumulates in your TFSA and no matter when withdrawals are made • Total lifetime contribution to date of $31,000 which you can deposit at any time – don’t worry, it will keep growing if you have not used it. Keep this in mind when you are tax planning for an inheritance or when you are downsizing your home. Courtesy of Karli Anderson, CFP, EPC Certified Financial Planner

Importance of making informed decisions Much like planning a trip, the key to successful investing is having the right information, a wellconstructed plan and, often, the right advice. On your financial journey, knowing some basics will help you ask the right questions, obtain the best advice and feel confident about your decisions.

Here are some key principles that will help you manage your investments effectively over time: • Choose your investments based on when you expect to need the money. • Spread money among different investments to soften the impact of any major market changes.

• Make sure you understand the full costs of your investments. • Once a year or when you experience a major life change, review your investments and make changes if appropriate. If you need assistance applying these principles to your situation, speak to a financial advisor. www.newscanada.com

In today’s volatile markets, retirement can be a daunting thought. When can I retire? How much will I need saved?

We can help. Whether you are a hands-on investor or a winter snowbird, we have the team to help you reach your financial goals. With RBC Dominion Securities’ robust line of investment options, we can build a solid investment portfolio to preserve your savings and create long-term wealth.

Sarah Hunter to receive award in March

Paralympian to be honoured White Rock Paralympian Sarah Hunter will be honoured in March with the Harry Jerome Comeback Award. The award was announced Thursday by Sport BC, and will be presented to Hunter – an international renowned wheelchair tennis player – on March 5 gala in Vancouver. The Harry Jerome award is presented “to an athlete who competed in an individual or team sport in 2013 after having suffered an unusual setback, such as

Children tied up in home invasion Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Children were tied up and a father beaten in a violent home invasion in Newton last week. On Wednesday at 5:20 p.m., two men broke through the door of a home in the 7500-block of 123A Street and tied up the family in the back of the home. They then began making demands for items in the home. Several children were tied up, including two Grade 2 twins and two infants, as were a caregiver and another woman. However, the home invasion was interrupted when the father got home. He was assaulted and later taken to hospital with a swollen jaw. RCMP believe the suspects, described as South Asian men wearing hoodies, took off in what appeared to be a black Honda Civic. Mounties have not speculated about what motivated the incident or whether anything was taken from the home. They do believe it was a targeted home invasion and not a random occurrence. Anyone with further information or who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the neighbourhood is asked to contact the RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-TIPS.

illness or injury.” Hunter, who was also a torchbearer during the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, returned to the top level in her sport after missing the majority of the 2011 and 2012 tennis seasons due to an injury to her left shoulder and wrist. Hunter has twice represented Canada at the Paralympics, first in Athens in 2004 and then in Beijing in 2008. Her quest for a third appearance – in 2012 in London – was derailed due to her injuries.

Year of the Horse celebrated at South Surrey elementary school

Chantrell Creek kicks off the new year Sarah Massah

Staff Reporter

hantrell Creek Elementary kicked off the Year of the Horse with a bang – and a dance or two. Parents, teachers and students came together last week to transform the school into a sea of red and gold with Chinese New Year decorations hanging from the ceiling and intricate vests worn by kindergarten students. “Moms and dads and volunteers all came together to do this,” school principal Deborah Thorvaldson said, noting 100 parent volunteers worked around the clock to cook up 4,000 dumplings for the event. “We have more Mandarin families than ever, and we wanted to celebrate that and

Chinese New Year.” A loud gong strike Friday afternoon signaled the start of the school’s assembly, which began with the kindergarten students’ dragon dance. A deep and steady drum beat echoed off the walls of the gymnasium as the students performed the dance carrying a handmade dragon over their heads. “We’re creating magic,” Thorvaldson said. “I think what is so special is that we’re coming together as one to celebrate a different culture, and we’re just so enriched by having the Mandarin families with us. “Everyone came out for the assembly.” Individual student performances followed with the Grade 7 students closing the assembly with a lively lion dance.

The packed gymnasium erupted with applause as the students jumped up on crates and danced to the beat of the drums. Parent volunteer Dean Donnelly – dubbed the “dragon man” – said that the Chinese New Year was the perfect way to incorporate multiculturalism into the students’ learning at a young age. He noted that many of the parents have been looking for a way to get involved and the Chinese New Year festivities created an opportunity to do so. “These parents want to help out and get involved, they just don’t know how. So that was our main goal,” he said. “We’ve got an increasing population from Asia and this is the way we can get them really involved.”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Mission event set for Feb. 20

Games’ athletes named Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Damon Jones photo

Surrey Eagles goaltender Devon Fordyce backstopped his team to a pair of wins on the weekend, which clinched a BCHL playoff spot.

Surrey wins twice over Chilliwack to secure fourth seed

Eagles clinch playoff berth Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles are in the playoffs. With a 7-4 road win Saturday against the Chilliwack Chiefs, the Birds punched their ticket to the post-season, being the last team in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division to do so. If they remain the fourth Mainland Division seed, they’ll square off against the firstplace Langley Rivermen in the first round, but there is still a chance to overtake the Coquitlam Express for third place. The Express, who’ve lost four straight, are five points up on Surrey, and each team has eight games remaining.

Considering there was considerable turnover on the roster from last year’s BCHL championship team – nearly all the team’s top scorers from that squad are gone, as well as the head coach – making the playoffs is something of an accomplishment for the South Surreybased team. To compare, after the Eagles won a BCHL title in 2005, the next season they won just 16 games and finished second last in the entire league. The year after that, they won just 17 times and again missed the playoffs. Saturday’s playoff-clinching win came largely as a result of a big second period. With the score tied 1-1 after 20 minutes

– Austin Ferguson’s power-play goal got Surrey on the board – Chilliwack took a 2-1 lead 55 seconds into the second, before the Eagles exploded for four straight goals, including another from Ferguson with the man advantage. Braeden Russell, who had a goal disallowed early in the period, also scored, as did Jonah and Nathan Renouf. The two clubs traded goals in the third period, with Anthony Conti and Heinen – with his team leading 23rd of the season – scoring for the visitors. Nathan Renouf finished with a goal and three assists, while Russell and Jonaf Renouf each had three-point nights.

In net, Devon Fordyce stopped 38 of 42 shots to earn the win. The victory was the second straight for the Eagles over the struggling Chiefs, who sit last in the Mainland Division. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, Surrey defeated Chilliwack 5-2. Five different Eagles bulged the twine behind Chiefs’ goalie Josh Halpenny – Conti scored in the first period, Nathan Renouf, Heinen and Chase McMurphy scored in the second, and Ferguson tacked on the team’s final goal in the third. Defenceman Matthew Dawson added three assists, and Fordyce was again between the pipes, making 25 saves.

Some of the best young athletes from across the province will compete later this month at the Mission-hosted BC Winter Games, and Peninsula athletes will be front and centre. In total, 49 athletes – plus a handful of coaches and event officials – from White Rock, Cloverdale and Surrey were listed on the BC Games’ participant list when it was released last week. The BC Winter Games will run Feb. 20-23, with more than 1,800 athletes, nearly 350 coaches and more than 140 officials expected to take part. While the sports the participating local athletes will compete in cover a wide range – from ringette to karate to hockey to speed skating, and more – a large part of the local contingent is made up of divers, as well as badminton players, gymnasts and female hockey players. In the pool, the Fraser Valley (Zone 3) will be led by seven Surrey/White Rock divers – White Rock’s Hannah Jensen, South Surrey’s Marjan Aktary, Karina Jorgenson-Fullam, Kylea Pai and Tavia Walz, and Surrey residents Jackson MacLean and Samantha McKinney. As well, Grant Brehaut – who is the head coach of the White Rock Divers club – will serve as an assistant coach with the Vancouver-Squamish zone. The Fraser Valley’s female hockey team will also have a strong Peninsula contingent, as 13 players – including White Rock’s Nicola Murray – from the Surrey Falcons (Surrey Female Hockey Association) were selected for the team. Another member of the Falcons’ bantam program, Shona Bal, will play for the Fraser Valley-Delta zone at the tournament. The Fraser Valley’s Special Olympics basketball program will also be chock full of Surrey athletes, including Scott Laroue, Tracy Payne, Scott Stewart and Jaspreet Warach. Three of the team’s coaches – Ron Hammell, Tram Lam and Kylie Parkinson – are also from Surrey. i see page 16
