14-month sentence for crossing double-line on 16 Avenue, killing South Surrey man

Dump-truck driver jailed for fatality Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The man found guilty of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the head-on crash that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss has been sentenced to 14 months in jail. Glen Edward Theriault learned his fate – which includes a four-year driving ban – Friday afternoon in Surrey Provincial Court.

In imposing the term, Judge Paul Dohm said it had to be enough to “strongly denounce” the driving behaviour that resulted in Neiss’s death. At the same time, he acknowledged that incarcerating the 65-year-old “will not help him or his family.” Neiss, 59, died on Jan. 18, 2011 when his SUV was struck head-on by Theriault’s dump truck as Neiss drove east along 16 Avenue en route to his job as a

Langley school-bus driver. Theriault had just crossed a doubleyellow line in an effort to pass two vehicles when the collision occurred. The court heard during trial that Theriault told police the move was “a bad three-second decision.” In rendering his guilty verdict last November, Dohm described that same decision as “conscious, deliberate, risky.” “No reasonable person would even

consider driving in the manner the accused did in this case,” he said. Friday, an emotional Theriault apologized to the court and Neiss’s wife of 20 years, Brenda Michie. “There is no words that can ever undo what happened,” he said. “From the bottom of my heart, I apologize, for everything. I just pray that someday you’ll forgive me.” i see page 2

Police presence felt in White Rock neighbourhood – again

Armed ‘standoff’ a non-issue: RCMP Tracy Holmes & Nick Greenizan Staff Reporters

A suspected “barricaded person” in a White Rock home prompted a short but intense police response Friday afternoon. The response included several marked police cars, an armoured vehicle and a helicopter. Witnesses describing a “hostage situation” reported seeing officers with assault rifles at the scene and roadblocks throughout uptown White Rock. “It looked like a whole lot, but there was nothing,” Sgt. Manly Burleigh said Monday of activity near Maple Street and Goggs Avenue. Officers raced to the scene shortly after 3

p.m., surrounded the home and left by 5 p.m. Former MLA Ken Jones told Peace Arch News the owner of the targeted house told him police were “looking for a known person who had befriended a person who was a tenant of hers.” While responding officers were treating it as a “mental-health” situation, White Rock detachment issued no public statement that day. Monday, Burleigh told PAN it was “a nonincident… just a situation that involved what was believed to be a barricaded person.” “At the end of the day, there was not anybody even in the house, so it was a non-issue.” The incident drew a crowd of bystanders to

Thrift Avenue and Maple Street. Police blocked that intersection and several others, and RCMP vehicles were parked at the Kent Street Activity Centre, which connects to Goggs Avenue. It was the second incident involving a heavy police presence in the area in just over two weeks. On Jan. 29, a plainclothes officer fired upon a taxi near Finlay Street and Russell Avenue, after investigating a “known crack shack.” Three people, including the taxi driver, were taken into custody and later released. Investigation into the alleged drug house is ongoing, as is an independent investigation by Coquitlam RCMP into the police-involved shooting.

A White Rock police officer who was charged following the 2011 hit-and-run incident that killed pedestrian Marilyn Laursen will not be tried in connection with the 56-year-old’s death. But Const. David Bickle will go to trial on a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm. The pursued driver who struck and killed Laursen, Kyle Brandon Danyliuk, is currently serving a two-year sentence, after pleading guilty in 2012 to four charges in connection with the incident. Following last week’s preliminary inquiry into the case against Bickle, prosecutor Steven Black advised the court he would be directing a stay of proceedings on a charge of dangerous driving causing death. It was one of two charges announced against the officer in August 2012, following a Vancouver Police Department investigation into the events leading up to Laursen’s death. The VPD alleged that the officer’s “actions and failure i see page 2

The second charge relates to injuries suffered by the driver of a car struck during the pursuit. A publication ban prevents disclosure of any of the evidence or submissions heard during the inquiry, which several of Bickle’s co-workers and Laursen’s sister and brother-in-law – Lynné and Neale McCutcheon – attended.

Outside court Thursday morning, Lynné McCutcheon hugged Bickle, then described the stay of proceedings on the more serious charge as a relief. It means her family can finally move forward, she said. “I’m glad it’s kind of behind me,” she told Peace Arch News. “I just feel bad for David that he has to face another trial.” RCMP officials have confirmed that Bickle remains “operational” in the Lower Mainland. They would not confirm if he is still assigned to the White Rock detachment. The McCutcheons said they do not plan to attend Bickle’s trial, the date for which is to be set during a March 27 appearance in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

PriceSmart switch backed by parent company, union members

Semiahmoo grocery reverts to Save-On Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Alex Browne photo

A Save-On once more.

The PriceSmart Foods store at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre is a SaveOn-Foods once again, in a move heralded as a win-win for both customers and union members. The changeover to new signage was completed as of Friday, part of a corporate move that transformed a total of 11 PriceSmart locations in B.C. – virtually overnight – to the Save-On banner. (The South Surrey location had previously operated as a Save-On-

Foods, and as an Overwaitea.) A statement from parent company the Overwaitea Food Group says the renaming is part of efforts to strengthen the Save-On-Foods brand, while offering more selection and more specials. Overwaitea spokesperson Julie Dickson Olmstead said Monday that noticeable impacts for customers of the renovated Semiahmoo store will be increased selection, plus “expanded options for natural, organic, glutenfree and local products.” At the same time, retaining five

PriceSmart stores – at the Fleetwood, Richmond, Grandview, King Edward and Coquitlam locations – allows that brand to focus on what the company terms a “low price platform with market-specific international food offerings.” In most of these markets, this translates to more food options catering to Asian-Canadian customers. The changes are seen as good news for United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1518 members in the 11 stores who voted 94 per cent this month in favour of the switch.

Dickson Olmstead said that while the two banners operate under different labour contracts, “wages are not negatively impacted by this change.” “Members will have increased job security and greater opportunity to reach a living wage…,” according to the UFCW website. This month, Overwaitea also announced the purchase of 14 Vancouver Island stores owned by Sobeys – primarily under the Safeway and Thrifty Foods banners – which it plans to convert to Save-On-Foods stores.

Vacancy rates high

City hall for rent Kevin Diakiw Black Press

During the 2011 civic election, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts insisted the new city hall would cost a net $50 million. She arrived at that figure by estimating a lease on the old building at 14245 56 Ave. would bring in $47 million to offset the cost. She now says that number is $38 million. So far, no one has signed a lease agreement, however leasing agent Colliers International says Crown counsel will occupy about 45,000 square feet of the building, which will bring in $900,000 annually. That leaves 21,000 sq. ft. in the west tower and another 56,000 sq. ft. in the south tower. “Tenants are currently looking at entire floors of each of the buildings, subject to further negotiation,” said Colliers’ Dilraj Sohi. If the entire building can be leased, it will generate $2 million annually, Sohi said. Leasing the whole building may be challenging, however, given Surrey’s vacancy rate. An Avison Young report examining the region’s market paints a dark picture for Surrey at the end of 2013. “Surrey’s office-vacancy rate hit a record high of 17.3 per cent, up from 11.5 per cent at year’s end 2012, as a soft leasing market combined with a handful of large tenants leaving the market or moving into build-to-suit projects,” the Avison report says. The report also indicates suburban lease rates that throughout the region, will remain flat for the next six months to a year because of the heightened vacancy: “Surrey rental rates will likely face compression.” Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Jordan Bateman remains skeptical as to whether the old city hall will be leased any time soon. Sohi noted the campus – part of a justice precinct – is wonderfully positioned for leasing. “The towers are situated on 15 acres of immaculately landscaped land, including walking trails, water features and access to an on-site restaurant,” Sohi said.

community, I think a lot of taxpayers are going to be nervous about it,” Bateman said last week. “Obviously, in Surrey, there are higher priorities for most people than building a new city hall.” Bateman – a former Langley Township counccilor – said city halls are never a popular project. “Most people go their whole lives without stepping inside it,” he said. “It certainly looks grandiose from the outside. The question is: have they gone for reasonable cost-saving measures inside? Is it going to be super fancy? Are there going to be marble counter tops, expensive carpet tiles, things like that?” Watts said that once the city announced it was moving its city hall, Surrey attracted $3 billion in private-sector development in Whalley. “We get those taxes in perpetuity for other pieces of infrastructure,” Watts said. “We can’t expect the private sector to invest in our downtown core if we’re not prepared to do it ourselves.” Watts said Surrey’s City Centre is going to be the region’s next downtown core. “It’s really important, when you’re building a downtown core, you have to have a city presence,” Watts said, noting the building has to meet municipal needs for decades into the future. While the building opened to the public on Monday, council meetings will begin there on March 31, once audio-video work is complete.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says more hires coming

City pledges more for safety Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey is promising to beef up its law enforcement presence, adding 20 more community safety personnel over the next two years. The announcement, made Friday, comes as a result of the Mayor’s Task Force on Crime, which was struck after the city recorded a record 25 murders last year. Surrey has already planned to hire 12 RCMP officers this year and the same number next year.

Pedestrian fatality A man was killed when he was struck by a car in Surrey early Saturday morning. Police say the man was walking on King George Boulevard near 64 Avenue at about 6 a.m. Feb. 15 when he attempted to cross the road and was hit by a vehicle travelling northbound. He was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead. Police did not make the victim’s name public by Peace Arch News’ press time Monday. The driver of the car remained at the scene and no charges have been laid.

Five civilian support staff are also being added this year. However, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said Friday the city will also be hiring 20 new personnel who will be dedicated to community policing. They will not be gun-carrying police officers, but will patrol high-crime areas. “We want them embedded in the community, and that’s where they stay,” Watts said. Chief Supt. Bill Fordy noted a

host of crime-reducing initiatives have been taken this year. “We are targeting locations that mirror those where homicides have happened in the past,” Fordy said. “It is generally these types of locations where those living high-risk lifestyles come together and create an increased risk to public safety and potentially violent crime.” Watts said she is encouraged by the work so far, and says she will “not rest until the job is done.”

Thinking inside the bargain bin

etro Vancouverites love a deal. That’s why they line up like lemmings to cross the border for savings in the U.S. or drive far out of their way to cross an untolled bridge – never mind the waste of gas and lack of value they place on their time. So the key to selling higher taxes to finance more transit expansion and bridge replacements will be appealing to their wallets with some personal benefit beyond paternalistic assurances that they must sacrifice for the livability of the region. Some mayors have suggested reducing the existing 17-cent-a-litre TransLink gas tax if a vehicle levy or comprehensive road-and-bridge tolling is imposed. That makes sense, as it would give drivers less reason to fill up outside Metro. Another proposal heard before is creating a homeowner grant for the TransLink property tax, which now averages $235 per home. The tax rate could then be increased somewhat without any impact on the typical homeowner – nonresidents and other investor owners would absorb the increase. Here’s another idea. Imagine a $200-per-year vehicle levy is imposed; but half of that – $100 – is returned to the vehicle owner in the form of a credit they can direct to either their TransLink Compass card account or their TReO tolling account. Drivers who shun toll bridges would be encouraged to cross them at least some of the time, helping unclog traffic jams on free crossings. Those who rarely commute across tolled bridges could take the Compass credit instead and would have more incentive to use transit, at least some of the time. Either TransLink or the province would get the credits eventually, so the revenue wouldn’t vanish, and the credits could be time-limited if necessary. The concept could form one of a series of value propositions that may better inspire a short-term focused me-first public that has difficulty imagining the gridlock of the future if nothing is done. There is no magic wand to solve Metro Vancouver’s transportation challenges. The reality is we will all have to pay more somehow. But it’s thinking like this that will be needed if the province remains determined to give voters the final say over TransLink expansion in an eventual referendum.

the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class-size restrictions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff and cancellation of school participation in the internationalstudent program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period, with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around.

Misleading by example

product. I anticipate federal approval of both the Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan projects. Francis Patrick Jordan, White Rock

Editor: I have always been led to believe that as adults, we are to set an example of appropriate behaviour and courtesy for youth to emulate. It seems that this does not apply to the automobile drivers on 148 Street in front of Semiahmoo Secondary. On any day of a school week – startup, lunch or school’s day end – one can witness the epitome of the worst aspects of driving to be found anywhere in B.C. Here, one can observe all the conduct that you wouldn’t ever want your son or daughter to do behind the wheel – talking on a cellphone, cutting in, inappropriate gestures, road rage and much more. Let us hope the students of Semiahmoo don’t copy this driver buffoonery or, heaven help us all, we are doomed. You can be sure the first student to lose his/her life in front of Semiahmoo will be at the hands of an adult parent driving like a moron. James Golightly, White Rock

Tie transit fee to Care Cards Editor: Recent articles in Peace Arch News raise the issue of how to fund transit, with the usual suggestion that it be related to home ownership. However, only a segment of the community are homeowners, and a large number of homes are lived in by extended or multiple families. We all have transit available for our use – some to a greater degree than others, admittedly. Surely a more equitable way to spread the financial burden can be found. In addition, it is understood that there is a lot of health-care fraud in our province. By some reports,

there are three to four times more Care Cards in circulation than the total of the population. So, how about linking transit funding to one’s Care Card? We all have Care Cards, which would mean we would all contribute to transit funding. Meanwhile, this extra charge would act as a disincentive to health fraud. Anthony Walter, Surrey

No lesson in later start Editor: Re: Early to rise not necessarily wise, Feb. 6 letters. This is in reply to the ‘loving mother’ who hates to wake her teenagers up on dark, cold mornings to get to school. She would like the school board to change the start times so that her children could have another hour’s sleep.

There is an easy, old-fashioned way to let them get their sleep quota; it’s called going to bed earlier. Also, bedtime should not include TV-watching, and there should be no phones, iPads and other sleepstealing devices in the bedroom. By carrying out this easy home remedy, she would save the school board millions of dollars and not incur the wrath of thousands of parents. Perhaps the letter-writer could put things in perspective by reminding her teenagers that 100 years ago, when this wonderful country was being created, teenagers had to get up before dawn to do chores to help the family and then walk miles to school in all weathers. No warm cars or big yellow school buses to make life easy. The greatest lessons children can learn and take with them through life are those taught at home. Your children are part of this world but the world does not revolve around them. K. Kent, Surrey

What would happen to Canada as a nation if each province threw up barriers to its neighbours’ trade?a Francis Jordan

Issues beyond B.C.’s borders Editor: Re: Clearing up coal issues, Jan. 28 letters; More than a health concern, Feb. 6 letters. Put me in the camp of letter-writer R. Morton in the coal-transport debate. I’m 70 years old and showing no ill effects from years as a shift engineer in three of Alberta’s coalfired generating stations. Letter-writer Bill Stewart’s response compares working with coal to smoking – a classic red herring. As in any industrial plant, you wear personal protective equipment and clothing while working safely. Stewart wanders off asking why we should accept the transport of American thermal coal. Because we are partners in North America’s free trade – and free transport – system, enjoying the prosperity delivered by that arrangement. After all, some Canadian potash is shipped from American ports on the Columbia River. Vancouver is one of the world’s leading ports with an advanced infrastructure that attracts customers like Wyoming’s coal producers. Stewart then asks why we should accept Alberta’s bitumen for shipment to Pacific Basin customers. What would happen to Canada as a nation if each province threw up barriers to its neighbours’ trade? Thankfully, the federal government regulates interprovincial trade and railways, thus doing away with such narrow-minded nonsense. Crude oil is already moving by rail through White Rock from southern Saskatchewan to American refiners. Bitumen is as easily moved by rail; this export commodity will reach customers one way or the other. While I’m a lifelong rail fan, I recognize pipeline is the best transport mode of hydrocarbon

Organizing and scheduling medication is an essential part of health care too often missed, writes Zoe Menge.

Family docs not the sole solution Editor: Re: The family-physician dilemma in B.C., Feb. 6 column. Although I applaud the Ministry of Health and BC Medical Association’s attempts to improve access to family physicians, I have doubt this effort will make much of a difference to the health of our health-care system. Almost every week, I hear of overcrowding in hospitals or people affected by slow health care. Health care has become so complex, we need to consider doing things differently. The group BC Emergency Doctors states that up to 94 per cent of emergency-department patients already have a family physician. So what is the problem? As a home-care nurse, I see a variety of issues. First, although you may have a family GP, it is near impossible to see them in a timely manner. Second, those with chronic health conditions, who are on multiple medications, rarely receive the time they need to be fully assessed. I had one patient who became short of breath but had to wait three days to see her GP. The next day she ended up in emergency. Often I see patients who are elderly and dealing with dementia. My first visit is usually spent organizing medications. GPs don’t see this, so many patients miss medications that are essential to staying out of hospital. As columnist Chris Bryan states, he was left waiting for hours while his GP was delivering a baby. I highly doubt his GP would have had the time to help an elderly person organize their daily regimen.

Further, there are areas of practice that GPs just don’t have time to keep up on, such as wound care and immunization. I propose the BCMA and ministry of health consider the use of registered nurses and nurse practitioners, working in a team with family physicians. RNs and NPs have wide scopes of practice, as well as a mandate to educate our patients. Further, I’d like to ask why GPs are still performing women’s exams, STI counselling, wound care and immunization practice. These are all topics nurses are well educated in and sometimes more educated than GPs. I have heard of a number of teams of doctors and nurses or other health-care professionals that work effectively together. In fact, a doctor at an orthopedic practice in Ontario loves working with advancedpractice physiotherapists, as they ensure patients really need to be seen by a doctor. He says patients are educated about surgeries and recover faster, as they are better prepared, both physically and mentally. More importantly, their wait list for surgery has been reduced. There are some GPs who employ nurses in their practice. Unfortunately, because the nurse’s salary has to come from the GP, there is little incentive to hire more. We need to create a system where the right professional takes care of the right scope. If we do this, perhaps we will free up time for GPs to see patients who really need their expertise and thus decrease visits to emergency, which leads to decreased overcapacity in hospitals.

Just seven months since being released to live in Surrey after serving a 22-year jail sentence, a convicted sex offender admitted to shoplifting. Raymond Lee Caissie, 42, pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 on Feb. 11 at Surrey Provincial Court. The offence involved merchandise at a Surrey Winners store last Oct. 27.

Caissie was sentenced to 21 days in jail and $100 victim surcharge. On Jan. 28, Caissie was sentenced to three months in jail and three years’ probation for breaching a peace bond, after pleading guilty to failing to report to a parole officer on Nov. 14.

South Surrey school gets official opening ceremony

TRANSMISSION FLUSH

New Sunnyside celebrated Education minister Peter Fassbender, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux and Surrey school board chair Shawn Wilson were among those present for a celebration of the official opening of the new Sunnyside Elementary in South Surrey Friday. Hosted by the school’s principal, Brad Helland, the ceremony – including ribbon cutting and music by the awardwinning Sunnyside Jazz Band – was also attended by Surrey school superintendent Dr. Jordan Tinney and Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne. The celebration was somewhat belated – the $14.9-million school, at 2828 159 St. has actually been open since the beginning of the school year in September. It replaced the original Sunnyside Elementary, at 15250 28 Ave., which had served the community since 1949. With the addition of 180 new places, the new school brings the student population up to 450 from kindergarten to Grade 7. “With some of Surrey’s neighbourhoods growing at such a fast

rate, everyone has had to work together to bring these schools on-stream as quickly as possible,” Wilson said in a prepared statement for the event. “I want to thank all those who have helped to bring the new Sunnyside Elementary to life.” Fassbender said the school is “a state-ofthe-art facility that

will support families in the rapidly growing Grandview Heights community for years to come.” The 19-classroom school features a library, multi-purpose rooms and a gym and was built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. It also includes additional space for

a Neighbourhood Learning Centre to provide a variety of community-based educational services. In the statement, Cadieux commented on the open, high-ceiling design of the school, noting it “utilizes daylight to provide a natural environment for many of the community’s youngest learners.”

JUST OPENED New Patients Welcome

Public hearing set on pot ban city’s acting director of development services notes that an amendment that had been suggested by the former director last month – to create a zone for the operations but not apply the zone to any properties – would be unenforceable. “A zoning amendment bylaw is invalid if it provides for a zone but does not actually zone a property,” Richard Wilson writes. Staff were asked to review the Jan. 13 recommendations for amendments to omnibus Bylaw 2000, following the dismissal of the former director. The public hearing is scheduled for Feb. 24, prior to the evening’s council meeting.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

100 years on, a Surrey family remembers the Komagata Maru

‘They were not illegal immigrants’ Boaz Joseph

Black Press

n 1965, Puran Singh Janetpura, then in his early 80s, was offered a chance by his family to join them in Canada from his native Punjab. Although he predicted – accurately – that his family and descendants would live prosperous and educated lives in their new country, he refused to go. He was still bitter, more than 50 years after an incident that affected his life, as well as relations between Canada and India. In 1914, the then-30-year-old was preparing for the trip of a lifetime. He was already well-educated, having studied at an English-language high school in Ludhiana, and had studied telecommunications at the University of Amethi. He was told at the time that any Indian was part of the British Commonwealth and would be welcome to study further in Canada. In March of that year, with passport in hand and $200 for a Head Tax, Janetpura – dressed in a suit, tie and turban – boarded the Komagata Maru in Calcutta. He was passenger No. 235 on a ship that would become legend. After two months at sea, the 376 passengers were refused entry in Vancouver for two months, from May 23 to July 23, 1914. Local officials cited the Continuous Passage Regulation, which stated that all immigrants must come directly from their country of origin. Due to the great distance between India and Canada, this was impossible, as ships required a stopover. The Komagata Maru had stopped in Hong Kong. It was in fact pressure from the white community that kept the passengers on the ship, deprived of food, water and medicine. Only the assistance from the 3,000-strong Sikh community in the Lower Mainland kept the 376 people alive. “They were not illegal immigrants,” says Janetpura’s grandson, Jaswinder Toor, a 52-year-old Surrey man. Under threat of Canadian naval gunfire, the ship was sent back to India, with only 20 passengers remaining in Vancouver. The voyage home meant the exiled passengers had been confined to the ship for six months. As they became increasingly agitated, they were hit by British gunfire when they returned to India. Twenty were killed, and scores were wounded. Janetpura and others were imprisoned for years, and he was later restricted to his home village. Toor says the Komagata Maru incident

had a direct effect on Indian politics, and was a catalyst for an independent India – specifically as passengers spread the word that the British misrepresented what citizenship meant in its Commonwealth. Janetpura died in 1974, having told his family that while it was possible to have all of one’s possessions taken away, an education was eternal. It was a prescient statement, as all of Janetpura’s great-grandchildren in Canada have attended UBC for studies in the field

of medicine. Two of his grandchildren, Toor and his brother Raj, 49, who immigrated to Canada in 1976 and 1983 respectively, are observing this month’s opening of an exhibit marking the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru’s arrival on B.C.’s shores at the Surrey Museum. Echoes of the Komagata Maru: 1914-2014 features interviews with direct descendants of the steamship’s passengers, first-hand accounts of the boat’s arrival in Burrard Inlet, and images, video and sound clips from Surrey youth on the importance of the Komagata Maru incident today and issues that persist.

HATE CPAP?

It also includes the voices of second- and third-generation South Asian youth from Surrey who have reflected on the legacy of the Komagata Maru. Naveen Girn, the Surrey Museum’s guest curator for the exhibit, says the Komagata Maru episode is a story not just for South Asians. He explains that while it’s understandably an important part of the history of South Asians in Canada – preceding by decades, for example, their right to vote in 1947 – it’s a story “owned by all Canadians.” Echoes of the Komagata Maru: 1914-2014 is on display until July 12.

Race winners The opportunity to hang out with a sasquatch spurred one family not just to enter the Ocean Park Amazing Race, but to win it. The race – which was held on Family Day last week – was won by the Tyler family, who entered the event after one of their children saw a photo of the Amazing Race mascot – the sasquatch-like Creature of Kwomais Park – in an earlier edition of the Peace Arch News and wanted to take part as a result. In the amazing-race style event Feb. 10, families received a package of challenge cards, which included brain teasers, physical challenges and Ocean Park history questions, as well as challenges in which family members had to identify community landmarks. In total, 20 families took part. Proceeds from the event – registration was $25 per family – will be put towards the revitalization of Fun Fun Park (1472 128 St.).

Order of B.C. Nominations are being received for the 2014 Or der of British Columbia. The honour recognizes individuals who demonstrate “outstanding achievements, excellence and distinction in their particular fields of endeavor,” a news release states. Nominations must be received by the first Friday in March. An independent advisory council, chaired by the Chief Justice of British Columbia will consider nominations. Forms are available from the Honours and Awards Secretariat in Victoria (250-3871616) or online at www. orderofbc.gov.bc.ca

Earl Marriott grads pose during a dance practice for their upcoming fashion show.

Cultural dances to be highlight of fashion show

Fusion fundraiser at EMS Tickets to Earl Marriott Secondary’s annual grad fashion show are now up for grabs. Dubbed ‘Grad Wishes’, organizers say the Arabian-nights themed show features unprecedented participation by the grads, with more than 90 playing a role. “It’s the first time ever we’ve had so much participation from the grads,” said Nirma Desai. The event, set this year for March 6, has been an annual tradition for about 15 years. It is a key fundraiser for the students’ drygrad celebrations. This year, dances Desai describes as “Persian/Bollywood” fusion are highlights of the evening.

“A little bit of drama, a little bit of dance and then the fashion show,” she said. A number of students are rehearsing routines weekly under the guidance of Shaimuk Bollywood dancer Priya Pranjivan, she said, noting Pranjivan is volunteering her time to the effort. In addition to the display of local merchants’ fashions, the evening is to include a silent auction, 50/50 draw, concession and door prizes. Doors open at 6 p.m., the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets – $15 in advance, $20 at the door – are available at the school (15751 16 Ave.) or through Desai, at 778-896-3548. – Tracy Holmes

YOUR FINANCIAL WELLNESS How much life insurance do you really need in this province? B.C. has the second most expensive global real estate market. That means we have big mortgages. The average B.C. mortgage (including consumer debt) is $329,000. Is there a scientific way to figuring life insurance needs? Kind of. It depends on what your goals are. Do you want the funeral home cheque to bounce or do you want to leave the world a little bit better off when you depart? Life insurance is an important part of any Financial or Estate Plan. It creates money and solves problems for the ones we love. To figure it out, calculate: Last expenses plus income needs. Usually we want debts paid and our final expenses covered. Is it ‘bare bones’ or are you going out with a big bang?

A basic cremation might cost $5,000, whereas, a grand celebration of life could run about $25,000. Income needs at death: will someone miss your income when you die? To keep a family in “their world” takes about 70 per cent of family income. Add up your family income and multiply by 70 per cent. When you are gone, what’s the shortfall? Take this number and multiply by 15 and that’s a close estimate. The best way to figure it all out is to get some expert advice. Talk to a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). They will help you for free. And free is a good thing in B.C.! Good luck to you in taking care of those that you love. - Courtesy AO Winter Financial Services

The key to investing without emotion Warren Buffett once said to look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy. When markets are volatile and negative news dominates, emotions can sabotage even the best long-term investment strategy. Investing is usually founded on the belief that the value of a security will go up. However, as an investment’s value rises, euphoria kicks in. Instead

of selling when markets are high, most investors buy more, as they believe values will continue to increase. On the other hand, when markets are experiencing a decline, emotions can lead to investors selling when they may be better off buying. To put it simply: emotional investing can lead to buying high and selling low – the opposite of an investor’s goal. Removing emotion

from your investment decisions, by using a fully managed Advisor Managed Account (AMA), will ensure that your hard-earned savings aren’t affected by rash decisions. A portfolio manager can work with you to select the portfolio that best fits you – according to your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. - Courtesy CIBC Wood Gundy

Being part of a network that is comprised of hundreds of businesses also means referrals – a crucial aspect to any business, new or old. In 2009, the chamber fielded more than 30,000

Totems take aim at Valleys Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Only a loss last week in the Fraser Valley Southwest championship game has put a damper on the run the Semiahmoo Totems senior boys basketball team has been on in 2014. The Totems have lost just twice since the Surrey RCMP Basketball Classic, once in the week after the early January tournament, and then last week in the aforementioned league championship, in which they dropped an ❝They know 80-63 decision to the Wildcats. they’re a good Tamanawis But in between, the team. They’re Totems reeled off 10 playing with straight victories, some confidence.❞ of which have come against provincially Ed Lefurgy ranked opponents, coach including Claremont, which was No. 6 in senior boys AAAA ranks at the time. “It’s just been a great stretch. The boys are really playing well,” said Semi head coach Ed Lefurgy. “They’ve been pretty good all season, but the difference now is that they know they’re a good team. They’re playing with confidence.” Despite wins over teams like Claremont, the Totems – who have not been among the province’s elite teams for years – have not cracked this year’s provincial rankings list, which is something Lefurgy and his troops are OK with. “We’re still under the radar, and that’s just fine. We like it that way,” he said. “We can still surprise people.” The ultimate goal for the Totems, Lefurgy said, is to earn a berth at senior boys provincials – something a South Surrey public school has not done in decades. But first, they’ll have to get through the Fraser Valley Championships, which start Wednesday at various locations, and wrap up at the Langley Events Centre at the end of the month. The Totems head into the Fraser Valley i see page 27

The Surrey Eagles managed just one win in three games on the weekend, two of which were played on home ice. On Friday, the Birds celebrated Valentine’s Day with a convincing 5-1 win over the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks. But the next night at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, Surrey failed to make it two in a row after what appeared to be a victory-in-the-making over the last-place Chiefs went sideways in the final minute and collapsed into a 5-3 loss. The Eagles capped the weekend Sunday afternoon with a 5-2 home-ice defeat at the hands of the Victoria Grizzlies. But of the two losses, the toughest to

The top six teams will earn berths into the provincials. “That’s the goal – that’s what we’ve talked about,” the coach said of making the B.C. championships, which are set for March at the Langley Events Centre. “But first, our goal is to make it into the

final eight (at Fraser Valleys) and go from there.” Semi will open the tournament tomorrow against No. 22 Johnston Heights. Other south-end schools also playing included Tamanawis (ranked second), Elgin Park (24th) and Lord Tweedsmuir (15th). The senior girls AAA Fraser Valley

tournament also began this week, with teams playing first-round games Monday; results were not available by PAN deadlines. Tweedsmuir, ranked eighth, was set to play ninth-ranked Charles Best, while No. 12 Elgin Park was to play No. 5 MEI. The final rounds of the girls tourney will be played at the LEC this Friday and Saturday.

Final road trip of season set for this weekend i from page 25 stopping 28 shots on net. Sunday’s game against Victoria was easier to deal with, despite the loss, Schaefer said. Playing their third game in as many days, Surrey was also forced to play without Braeden Russell, Michael McEachern and Anthony Conti, who were injured against Chiliwack the night before. As a result, the Eagles played the BC Hockey League’s top team with four affiliate players in the lineup – Karsten Seidel from the North Delta Devils and Matt Bradley, Eric Callegari and Paul Savage from the major-midget Valley West Hawks – with the latter three coming straight from one of their own games. Veteran forward Colton Mackie – who has been in and out of the lineup with a hand injury most of the season – was also forced to dress, though Schaefer said he “played sparingly.” “We were short-staffed, and had some tired guys – especially the (affiliate players) – but we played the top team in the league hard, and we played fairly well,”

Nathan Renouf celebrates a goal Sunday. Schaefer said. Darius Davidson and Nathan Renouf scored for the Eagles in the loss. Devon Fordyce got the start in net, stopping 27 Victoria shots. The lone bright spot for Surrey – aside from the moral victory of playing tough against the Grizzlies – came Friday, when the Birds jumped all over Salmon Arm en

route to the 5-1 win. Surrey took a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes thanks to goals from Chase McMurphy and Jonah Renouf, and captain Danton Heinen added a paid of power-play goals in the first 11 minutes of the second period to double the lead. One minute after Heinen’s second goal made it 4-0, affiliate player Nigel Swab scored his first-ever BCHL goal, with fellow AP player Ty Westgard – a South Surrey native – adding an assist. Alex Gillies scored the Silverbacks’ lone goal, with 1:06 remaining in the second period, and neither team scored in the final frame. The Eagles have three games left on their regular season schedule – a three-gamesin-three-days road trip this weekend on Vancouver Island – before they get a week off to prepare for the post-season. As they have for the entire second half of the season, the team sits fourth in the Mainland Division, seven points back of the Coquitlam Express, and will face the first-place Langley Rivermen in the first round of playoffs.

Records for DeLeeuw White Rock Wave swimmer Elsa DeLeeuw wasted little time setting some new masters swim records. In just the second meet of the 2014 season, DeLeeuw, 90, swam four races, winning gold in each while also setting new B.C. and Canadian masters records in the bargain. In her age group – 90-95 – the South Surrey resident is also firmly in the top-10 all-time in the World FINA rankings. DeLeeuw won gold in 50-m free, 100-m free, 200-m free and 50-m breaststroke. Other results from Wave swimmers included Tamiko Fry, who was first in the 100-m butterfly, second in the 50-m freestyle and third in the 100-m backstroke; Tom Rayment, second in 50-m breast; Craig Slater,

first in 50-m back and 200-m individual medley and second in 50-m fly and 100-m IM; Teri York, second in 100-m back and third in 50-m free; Sharyn Richardson, first in 100-m IM and 50-m fly and second in 100-m breast and 50-m back; Andree Leduc, who won gold in 50-m back, 50-m free and 100-m free and bronze in 50-m free; Becky Willis, first in 50-m breast and 50-m free, second in 100-m free and 100-m breast; and Alida Brichon, who won gold in 50-m back, 100-m breast and 200-m breast, and snagged silver in 50-m free. Another Surrey swimmer, competing unattached from any team, was Ivan Vonic, who won silver in 200-m IM and 200-m breast. – Nick Greenizan

Fourth-place The South SurreyWhite Rock Thunder ’99 returned home from Las Vegas last week with a fourth-place finish to their credit Playing in the Las Vegas Valentine’s Day Blast tournament, the Thunder fastpitch squad began with three games on the first day – against teams from Idaho, Vegas and Colorado – finishing with a 2-1 record. In playoffs, South Surrey lost its first game but – due to the doubleknockout format – had one more chance at a medal. To get back into contention, the Thunder played four straight games, only to face the Idaho Crossfire – whom they beat in the round-robin – in a do-or-die game. The Crossfire won the game 7-3 to capture the bronze medal. The Thunder, meanwhile, finished with a 5-3 wonloss record.

OBITUARIES

Joyce O. Alp APRIL 28, 1928 - JANUARY 12, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving Mom and Nana. Joyce is survived by her daughter, Katherine, granddaughter Samantha, partner Jack Moyes, and brother Douglas Bowman. Predecased by her son Robert and brothers, Larry and Ken. Joyce was a bright, happy amazing person that loved to dance and everyone she loved, loved her back even more. Her laugh was contagious and her friends were almost too numerous to count. Joyce grew up in Ford City, Ontario during the depression, with her Mom, Elsie and her father, Sydney. Her family decided pack up all three brothers, Doug, Larry and Ken in an old Ford and Elsie drove them all out to live in Vancouver. Quite the drive through the Rocky mountains in the mid 40’s. Joyce had numerous careers, working at Mainland Foundry, raising two children (Kathy and Rob) working for Frank MacKinnon as a conveyancing secretary, and then overcame the great challenge to obtain her grade 12 graduation to then study at UBC to become a Notary Public. She became a well-known business woman in White Rock /South Surrey and loved her work and staff and threw the best Christmas parties in town… Joyce lived best when she was entertaining … and loved to cook for crowds, the more the better. She was one of the best fruit pie makers in the whole world. She had a deep love for the ocean and salmon fishing, instilled by her beloved father, and could often be found out in her boat, by Saturna Island trolling for the big Pink. She loved to dance and was married twice , first to John Craig and then to Ernie Alp , but found her true love late in life, meeting Jack and travelling the world .Joyce lived her 85 years with a big smile on her face every day. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Crescent Gardens, who provided such loving care for Joyce in her last few years, as Alzheimer’s disease took hold. There will be a Celebration of Life on Thursday, February 27 2pm at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock.

Tochi KANHAY SINGH 1925 - 2014

TIRLOCHAN (TOCHI) KANHAYA SINGH (NEE KAUR), 1925 - 2014 Tirlochan K. Singh, born in New Delhi, India on Nov 21st, 1925, transitioned on January 28th, 2014 at 7:27 pm in White Rock, B.C. Tochi was preceeded by her father, Dalip Singh, mother Prem Kaur, brothers Nirmal Singh and Davinder Singh, and both husbands, Tej Bhan Singh and Kanhaya Singh. Tochi was the eldest of 8 siblings: 5 sisters and 3 brothers. Her father worked for the National Life Insurance Corporation of India, and was transferred often, so Tochi lived in many places throughout India. In 1946, she married Tej Bhan Singh, a forester. They had one son, Romi Singh, and one daughter, Pummy Kaur. Tochi received BA, BEd, and MA degrees in India by 1954. After separating from Tej Bhan Singh, Tochi went to the U.S.A. in 1954 to attend Duke University, North Carolina, to complete an M.Ed, while her children remained with her mother, Prem Kaur, in Agra, India. Upon return to India in 1956, she began teaching and eventually became the head of a teacher training college. In December 1959, Tochi migrated to Leeds, U.K. with her children, where she taught till August 1963. Tochi and her children were then sponsored by the Canadian government to migrate to Winnipeg, on the condition that she teach there for two years. Which she did for more than 26 years, till retirement in December 1989. In the summer of 1966, she vacationed in India and brought back a new husband: her father’s boss, the President of the National Life Insurance Corporation of India! Kanhaya Singh, a top agent with Great West Life, and Tochi lived in Winnipeg, and travelled the world during school vacations. They hosted large, lavish parties for their friends, and together were a prominent feature of the Indian landscape in Winnipeg, helping in the foundation of a Sikh Gurudwara and a Sikh library. Tochi loved fashion, her family and travelling. She was famous for her story telling and for her raunchy jokes at parties. Her home knew no limits to hospitality. Tochi’s last few years were spent at The Al Hogg Pavilion of The Peace Arch Hospital, where she was truly loved by so many on staff, to whom the family is very grateful. She transitioned very peacefully, while in the arms of her daughter, looking into each others eyes, and with one grand-daughter, Cadence, by her side. Tochi is survived by her son Romi Singh of Washington, U.S.A., daughter Pummy Kaur of White Rock, B.C., sisters Sarbjit Kaur, Harbhajan (Kaur) Pal, Manjit Kaur, Amrit (Kaur) Smagh, 9 grandchildren, 7 nieces, 4 nephews, many grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and dozens of cousins, spread all around the world. There was a small service and cremation held for immediate family on Sunday, February 1st,. It will be followed by a big celebration of her life, on Feb 22nd, to be held in Surrey, BC and another full Sikh memorial service and big celebration in the summer in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
