City-truck leak ‘looks significantly worse than it was’: fire chief

Diesel flows down streets into the bay Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A city worker pumps out catch basins along Fir Street between Royal and Columbia avenues Tuesday morning as part of efforts to clean up diesel.

Fuel leaking from a City of White Rock truck caused a “rainbow trail” along a number of streets and into Semiahmoo Bay Tuesday morning, raising concern of area residents. But, despite appearances, fire Chief Phil Lemire said the incident was not one for alarm. “It looks significantly worse than it was,” Lemire said. The spill was the result of a fuel cap left off of a city recycling truck, causing diesel to leak as the driver progressed for an hour along his route, Lemire said, noting the truck covered “a couple kilometres” before the leak was noticed at 9:15 a.m. The quantity of fuel lost was less than 20 litres, the fire chief said. One witness who contacted Peace Arch News described seeing a stream of fuel running down Vidal Street. Another, Mike Kaburda, said the fuel “stained (Victoria Avenue) all the way down.” Soon after, crews were seen cleaning catch basins on Fir Street. Lemire said crews applied sand and Absorb-all – a substance used to soak up hydrocarbons – to roads slick with the diesel. They checked and cleaned area catch basins, and – after a report of a fuel slick near the pier – set up booms around storm outlets into the bay. i see page 4

Ellaray begins next step in journey after childhood of surgeries

Dad helps daughter cut through latest challenge Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Ellaray puts on her modified cast.

Just 24 hours after doctors wrapped his daughter in a body cast, Craig Lewis knew something was wrong. It wasn’t just that Ellaray was getting scratched by the rough fibreglass edges under her arms and chin. That was bad enough. But when the seven-year-old started to complain that her hip – one that had only recently been grafted with new skin – was hot and tingling, Craig decided to act. “It was… the way Ella said, ‘I think it’s burning me there’,” he said, of what drove him to cut

the cast off with the only tool he had available, a butter knife. “We would’ve lost all that new skin.” Peace Arch News readers were first introduced to Ellaray in May 2008, when the then-toddler’s story captured their hearts. Since she was born, Ellaray has undergone two dozen surgeries to remove patches of skin and muscle affected by a rare condition that developed into an aggressive skin cancer. While doctors could initially stretch her young skin to cover the areas removed, in 2009 they had to start growing new skin in expansion bags under her healthy skin to replace the diseased tissue. Craig is sure that process – which at one point

had Ellaray carrying an extra four pounds off of her right hip – contributed to the scoliosis that prompted doctors to put her in the body cast. Diagnosed with the abnormal curvature in her lower spine in October, she underwent the cast procedure two weeks ago, on Feb. 21. “It wasn’t fun at all,” Ellaray told PAN. “It makes this arm go up and this arm go down,” she said, lifting first her right arm, then left, in an exaggerated demonstration. Craig said he was told Ellaray will likely spend the next 11 years in a cast or brace as a result, and that she will eventually need a rod fused to her spine to correct the problem. i see page 4

Partnership at Earl Marriott

Care home ‘lock-down’

Rise of the totems

New rules since man hit by train

Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

The long-awaited Cen’Alien welcome posts – created by Semiahmoo First Nation master carver Leonard Wells – were installed at Earl Marriott Secondary Tuesday evening in a ceremony that included song, humour, an RCMP honour guard and a traditional feast. Two totems – a Cen’Alien, or captain of reefnet canoes for Semiahmoo fishermen, in keeping with the school’s ‘mariner’ theme, and a female counterpart, symbolizing the honoured role of womanhood in Semiahmoo culture – now stand in the main entrance hall. Wells – along with 100 others – watched as school staff and volunteers struggled to raise the heavy cedar posts, carved in the simple, sparsely painted style that distinguishes Coast Salish work, into position. “I’m very happy with how this worked out,” he said, as volunteers manhandled a pole into position. “Although this is a little scary!” “My hands go up to my cousin Leonard for the wonderful work he has done,” SFN Chief Willard Cook said prior to the installation. The privately funded project, a partnership between Semiahmoo First Nation, Earl Marriott Secondary and Surrey School District, has been ongoing since last spring when Wells first selected a cedar log suitable for splitting and carving near Squamish. But as many speakers – including MC Harley Chappell, SFN councillor Joanne Charles and Earl Marriott teacher Michael McKay-Dunn – mentioned, the project goes back more than 20 years to the inspiration of late Grand Chief Bernard Charles, and his belief in education as the route to reconciliation.

Evergreen Baptist Care Home has taken increased security measures in the wake of a Feb. 1 incident in which a resident wandered away from the Oxford Street facility and was struck by a BNSF freight train on White Rock’s waterfront. The senior sustained minor injuries after suffering a glancing blow as he stepped off the tracks at 7:50 p.m. Evergreen executive director Stephen Bennett said the home has completed its investigation into the incident, and that findings will be made public after Evergreen confers with Fraser Health, which is conducting a separate review. The senior, reportedly suffering from dementia, was returned to Evergreen days after the accident, after being treated for several broken ribs and some abrasions. While Bennett would not comment on the senior’s status – citing concerns for the family’s privacy – he confirmed the wing of the home that housed the senior previously had unrestricted in/out privileges. “We’ve moved to being a 24-hour lock-down facility,” he said. “Now the residents have to have a staff person let them out, or have relatives sign them out.” He said that while the facility has imposed “an extra step” in the process, it is not intended to curtail the freedom of residents who are still mobile and capable enough to go for walks outside the facility. “It’s a matter of trying to strike a balance between security and the appropriate level of freedom,” Bennett said.

Women advised to just be themselves when considering police work

Officer finds her place helping most vulnerable Kevin Diakiw Black Press

In 2005, a drug-addicted teenaged sex-trade worker arrived at the Surrey RCMP office to report she had been sexually assaulted. At the same time, Langley RCMP was working on a case where a young girl had been yanked from her bicycle and sexually assaulted in a van. Sgt. Monica Jodrey, with the Surrey RCMP detachment’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences (CASO) unit, says she immediately thought it was the same attacker and felt the sex-trade worker attack was practice for the other assault. Jodrey remembers sitting with the teen and feeling like it was the first time the girl had a caring audience. It had a profound impact, both on the victim and on Jodrey. “She had stayed sober for the entire process after she had been assaulted,” Jodrey says. “That was probably a big moment in my career.” She knew, “Yeah, this is what I want to do.” It wasn’t always that way. Her father was a cop and Jodrey, now 44, showed little interest in following in his boot steps. Initially, she wanted to be an

archaeologist. Then she had her heart set on becoming a lawyer. But about three years into her studies, she dropped by the Calgary RCMP detachment to see if she could pick up a part-time job. She was given a job in major crimes as a civilian transcriber of statements. She says many of the courses she took pointed her in the direction of law enforcement. “Maybe subconsciously I always wanted to (be a police officer),” Jodrey says. “I truly thought I would take a hiatus from university, become a police officer, and carry on (with school) after.” The move put her in the Kamloops RCMP during the mid-’90s, when the force largely operated as an old-boys’ club. With policing being a male-dominated profession, it’s a perception that, for many, persists today. “I knew, as a female member, there were expectations that I would be able to hold my own,” Jodrey says. She was often given tasks involving talking to sexually assaulted women or children. “All those kinds of files came to me, or the other females on the watch,” Jodrey says, adding it was an assumption that women would be better at dealing with those cases.

Ministry ‘considered spill minor’ i from page 1 “With the heavy rains we had, it washed it into the storm drains and washed some of it into the bay around the pier, sort of from Elm Street to the pier area,” Lemire said. “Because of the properties of diesel, it did cover a fairly wide area, but it was very little product.” The booms were picked up by 4

p.m. Tuesday. Lemire said the provincial environment ministry was contacted but “they considered it to be a minor event as well.” “The visual impact was there because it spreads. A couple of tide flushes and you won’t even notice it’s there,” he said. Kaburda said in reporting the spill, a city official told him there

Not wanting Ellaray to lose any more of her childhood than necessary, he’s similarly determined to ensure the time she spends in the cast is as comfortable as possible. In it, there are few things Ellaray can do for herself. To that end, Craig has modified the molded structure to

Based on the 11-plus hours sleep that Ellaray got last Friday night – on an adjustable bed donated to the family by WR Mattress Gallery that makes it possible for Ellaray to get herself up in the morning – he’s confident he did the right thing. He’ll find out this week if Ellaray’s doctors agree. He is optimistic they will see that the benefits outweigh any negatives, and confident there are other alternatives worth exploring. “We didn’t stop any progress,” Craig said. “She’s got a little bend in her, but she’s not broken in half.

Organizers receive boost of funding from White Rock

Sea Fest buoyed by support Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Response to an appeal for city funding to boost White Rock’s 2014 sea festival has buoyed the spirits of those working to rejuvenate the waterfront event. White Rock council voted unanimously last week (with Coun. Larry Robinson absent) to contribute $15,000 towards the costs of hosting the weekend festival, which is to include a torchlight parade. A matching grant to help the society raise another $50,000 was also suggested. “The outcome is fantastic,” said Michelle Pedersen, president of the newly formed White Rock Events Society. “It was an incentive, so that’s what I appreciate the most about it.” Pedersen and society vice-president Brian Hagerman appealed to council last month for $70,000 in funding. The pair are among a group of individuals who have been meeting since last August to explore options for the 65th anniversary event. That effort followed challenges that led organizers of the 2013 festival to host a significantly scaled-back function – and others to doubt its future. Of the $70,000 requested, Hagerman said $50,000 would be used to build a dedicated float for the city.

File photo

Lots of support for Sea Fest. Leisure services director Eric Stepura, noting the milestone year, advised council Monday to approve $15,000 as a one-time additional contribution to seed money, but deny the float funds. He reasoned that the city’s cash and in-kind support will likely equal at least $65,000, based on the estimated $62,700 that was contributed to the 2012 festival. Given that figure, “we felt it (the $50,000) was quite excessive,” Stepura said. In suggesting the city consider a matching grant, Mayor Wayne Baldwin acknowledged the role a dedicated float would play in encouraging other municipalities to participate in the White Rock festival. “If you want other floats in your parade, you have to go in theirs,” he said. “A parade without a float

becomes a procession.” Baldwin said he would not advocate providing “a whole chunk” of funding, but that a matching grant may be possible once the city’s surplus is finalized. Council members backed the suggestion to reconsider further funding at that time. Financial services director Sandra Kurylo said she is projecting a surplus “sufficient to cover $25,000, at least.” Pedersen – describing the matching grant possibility as “fantastic” – told Peace Arch News the hope is to have a float ready to go by May, when parade season gets underway. The society is already working to fundraise, and sponsorship packages are going out, she added. Society members are determined to both create an anniversary event to remember and lay the groundwork for the future. “Create something for the longterm,” she said. “Ensure… we’ve left a footprint big enough to follow.” Next up, the society is reaching out to the community through an information meeting March 19 at the Centre for Active Living, 14600 North Bluff Rd. Set for 7 p.m., Pedersen invites anyone interested in getting involved to turn out and share their ideas and enthusiasm.

Fix transit for our seniors

he last 60 years of transportation design in B.C. – and elsewhere, as well – have largely been focused on getting young, mobile people to work. Now, however, it may be the time to find a way to make transportation safer and more usable for seniors. In the past, no one much cared about washrooms at SkyTrain stations, truly accessible bus stops and buses or other services that would make it easier for older people to give up the car and take transit. Things like street lighting near transit stops, appropriate signage – even our drivers’ licence system – were afterthoughts, though they’re often inadequate for use by older people whose eyesight may be failing, whose reflexes are slow but who may still have a clean driving record. Before, no one cared that suburban living doesn’t support seniors, who may become isolated at home and dependent on government or volunteer services to get around. Now, though, as the growing number of seniors begin to overwhelm public resources, it may be time to care. The evidence is already clear that transportation is inadequate for vulnerable, less-mobile people. HandyDart is overwhelmed by people who need door-to-door service, so it’s time to take another look at how this service is used. Last year, for example, there were 42,418 service denials and that’s likely just the tip of the iceberg. Is it time to take another look at how service to the most vulnerable is delivered? Yes. The evidence is also clear that our accepted driver’s licence system is inadequate for older drivers. Although most stay off the road in risky periods, studies find the crash rate for people 70 and older is similar to the crash rate of new drivers (those ages 16 to 24). It is time to take another look at how our driver’s licence system works, in addition to making changes to our province’s transit system. We need to keep our seniors – our mothers and fathers, ourselves – safe, secure and healthy in our communities.

Peace Arch News

Perspectives on rail dangers Editor: To Surrey and White Rock councils and MP Russ Hiebert, I request an independent study regarding moving the BNSF tracks. This study would look at the number of people whose lives are endangered by BNSF trains carrying lethal and explosive materials along the shores of Surrey, Crescent Beach, Ocean Park and White Rock – versus the monetary cost and the cost in agricultural land, if the BNSF tracks were moved inland. The study would include: • The numbers of people who have homes and businesses next to, and on the hills adjoining, the tracks. • An estimate of the numbers of people who use this popular area for recreation, especially on weekends and holidays. • On Feb. 13, the federal government set aside $14 billion for infrastructure. What share of costs would be covered by the three governments versus the BNSF? BNSF might well wish to move tracks and trains to a safer area for economic reasons. There are large numbers of explosive and lethal materials being carried daily on these tracks by inadequate and older tankers that can leak and explode like a bomb on impact – endangering many lives. The resultant fire balls will ignite the cedar and maple stands adjacent to the tracks, again endangering people and homes. Track and tanker structures will be compromised by increasing seastorm surges. Compromised tracks base will increase with rising oceans and cliff slides with loss of land base. The speed, weight and frequency of trains increases the likelihood of an accident by weakening the understructure of the tracks. The two trestles over the Nicomekl and Little Campbell rivers are also vulnerable. There is a high probability, in this century, of a greater than 9.0-magnitude earthquake, causing a tsunami surge and ground liquefaction at sea level. This will increase the danger of explosions and leaks from tankers. These BNSF problems point to the terrible dangers and anxieties that we – its neighbours – face daily. The Lac Mégantic train disaster, which killed 47 people and ruined a community, reminds that we are vulnerable. Margot Thomson, Surrey Q Re: Silencing train whistles to cost $1.8m, Jan. 28. Help me out. Why do people move in next to a rail line and then complain about noise of the trains? These trains are not new; they have been coming down those rails since the early 1900s, so surely when you bought your water view house you noticed the tracks. And before anyone raises the point of increased rail traffic since you moved here, yes it has increased. That’s the sign of a strong economy. Car traffic has also increased. More people live here. It’s changing! And yes, I do live near enough to hear the trains.

As to rail safety, when I was five, my mom taught me to look both ways before crossing the street. I took that to its logical extension and included railway tracks when I cross them on foot or in my car. As to people walking on railway tracks? Well you cannot legislate common sense, and $1.8 million dollars of taxpayers’ funds won’t help. Here’s the deal; times change, economies grow, commodities are shipped. Conductors blow the whistle to warn you they are coming. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, so let’s stop pointing fingers. Steven Hughes, White Rock Q Re: Silencing whistles not a solution, Feb. 13 letters. I fully agree with letter-writer Donna Passmore regarding the sound of the trains and their whistles. The tracks were there, so we all know that trains run back and forth on them. So why move into White Rock and then complain about the trains? I like to hear them and like to hear the whistle. Another complaint is crossing the tracks to get to the beach. Well, that is simple. If you cross a road, no matter at a crosswalk or not, you would always look one way and then the other, before you take a step out. So let’s use a little sense; then the trains would not have to whistle so often. Right? R. Kile, Surrey

In the end, on his own terms Editor: We were just getting Dad ready for his walk around the fifth floor of the Peace Arch Hospital. He had survived the night on a breathing machine for four hours, as I rubbed his back every 20 minutes, while praying the rosary. The doctor told me to take him home, because he was dying. Dad suffered with dementia, but said he wanted to stay in the hospital. He knew I would keep trying. The doctor said it was unusual for a dementia patient to participate in the discussion. In the afternoon, he stopped eating and talking, but continued to walk to the window and use the washroom. He was sitting beside me in the hospital, when a nurse came in and told me he was dying and to notice the symptoms. She did not want Dad to hear this, but I said Dad was part of all decision making. She said this was unusual. I told him to look up into the clouds, not down at his pain. An hour before his death, he pointed to the clouds and smiled at me. Something pleasant was happening for him. As he was about to move to the walker, he fell

forward and then backward and died immediately. Dad was not religious, but did believe someone was watching over him. I told him to not hang around, and to go find his relatives. Dad finally had peace and no pain. He fought to the very end and entered death’s doorway with courage, as he met all challenges in his life. For two long years, he helped us make decisions while he fought the aggressive symptoms of dementia. My father, Mike Petrow. My strength. A message to health-care staff: Dad’s life improved when Peace Arch Hospital placed him on a mild antidepressant. I believe it helped him fight off the sun-downing effects and the night terrors. With the right amount of anti-depressant, I believe dementia patients can be involved in their own life decisions. When there is too much medication, Dad said it was too hard to think and “screwed up” his brain. Health-care workers need to find the fine line between managing these patients with meds and overmedicating them. It is a challenge that will help our dementia patients live more satisfying lives. A special and grateful thank you to the amazing staff on the fifth, sixth and emergency floors at Peace Arch Hospital and the care workers at Harmony Health Care. Joyce Sadlowski, Surrey

Letter-writers criticize a golden-pig award cheekily presented last week for South Surrey’s empty bus-loop lot.

Tax critics face their own revolt Editor: Re: Tax critics snort at barren park-and-ride, Feb. 27. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation should revoke the municipal Teddy award given to TransLink, apologize, make a statement to the public about its mistake and reassess its criteria for future award ceremonies. TransLink defended itself by stating the provincial government was responsible for building the expansion. My extended research finds that TransLink was already planning to pursue a more cost-effective solution to deal with growth by arranging a temporary overflow lot at a nearby church – just as the provincial government announced and moved forward with the park-and-ride expansion, without accounting for TransLink’s new park-and-ride tariff, without accounting for TransLink’s Grace Point Church solution and without notifying the City of Surrey. I have also found the city has failed to anticipate parkand-riders who are hampering residents and clogging up streets in order to avoid the new park-and-ride fees. These are the shortfalls that have resulted in a situation where a brand new $4.5-million park-and-ride is never used; it does not have to do with TransLink’s own spending habits. Daryl Dela Cruz, Surrey

Q Canadian Taxpayers Federation should check its facts. The recent Teddy Waste Award given to TransLink by the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation is not substantiated by any real facts to the South Surrey Park and Ride property. TransLink did not build or pay for the South Surrey parking lot expansion. The property is owned and has been developed by the B.C. government for transit users. The additional parking was developed in response to local government and community concerns – including the Surrey Board of Trade – about serious overcrowding at the original South Surrey Park and Ride facility. Further, TransLink introduced a system-wide user-pay pricing structure for all of its parking facilities in 2013. Pay parking recovers the operational costs associated with park-and-ride facilities, saving taxpayers’ money. Pay parking has been at this location for less than four months and it will take some time to develop usage. I know everyone likes to dump on TransLink. But in the face of economic and political issues, they are at best maintaining transit and transportation infrastructure. The Surrey Board of Trade encourages the CTF to check your facts before you give out your awards. Anita Huberman, Surrey Board of Trade CEO

It’s in bad shape.” While taking no action would not be disastrous, it could speed up erosion, Baron said.

White Rock to contribute to regional effort

City OKs flood funds The City of White Rock will contribute financially to efforts focused on co-ordinating a region-wide flood response. Council voted last week to authorize a contribution of $1,000 this year and in 2015 to the Fraser Basin Council, to help with phase-one costs of a business plan “developed… to strengthen an integrated and long-term approach to address flood risks and sea-level rise in the Lower Mainland region.” In a report, director of engineering Greg St. Louis notes White Rock “has been identified as requiring a dike to protect against increased sea level by the year 2100.” “Recent flooding events in both Calgary and Toronto clearly demonstrate the existing risk of social, economic and environmental costs associated

with flood events, including those associated with sea-level rise,” St. Louis writes. “They also illustrate… the need for planning.” Prior to the vote, council heard from Fraser Basin Council senior program manager Steve Litke. Larger municipalities are being asked to contribute $5,000 per year for the next two years. The business plan calls for approximately $250,000 per year over the next two years to implement Phase 1, with costs shared among local, provincial and federal governments, as well as regional entities such as Port Metro Vancouver and YVR. White Rock’s contribution is to be funded from the drainage-utility consulting budget. – Tracy Holmes

New property software approved The speed, efficiency and accuracy of property-related transactions in White Rock are expected to improve dramatically, following council approval last month of a contract for a new software system. Council awarded a $295,000 (plus tax) contract to Tempest Development Group Inc., for a ‘Land Based Management System.’ According to a report by Chris Zota, the city’s manager of information technology, the system “will create a central directory and integrate property related

records and transactions” that will be used by planning and development, engineering and finance departments. It will replace a system that currently “presents a number of risks and challenges,” Zota writes. Those challenges include an inability to share data between departments, cost, slow response to inquiries and “paper records (that) are at risk of fire, water and acts of God.” Zota notes the budget for the project is $400,000 over two years. – Tracy Holmes

Judge questions credibility of witness

Driver’s claims dismissed Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A South Surrey woman’s action for damages resulting from a vehicle collision two years ago has been dismissed in B.C. Supreme Court. In a decision handed down in New Westminster last month, Justice Selwyn Romilly questioned the credibility of evidence from Pearl Kharenn Pacheco, 46, a registered nurse formerly employed by WorkSafeBC. Pacheco had claimed that a rearend collision on Feb. 8, 2012 had left her with aggravation of previous shoulder injuries plus persistent pain in the lower back and

right hip area. She was suing both the driver, Anthony Antunovich, and the registered owner, Ante Antunovich, of the vehicle that struck hers, for $105,014.91, as a result of the collision, which occurred after Pacheco stopped suddenly at an amber intersection light. Romilly found Pacheco had failed to prove “on a balance of probabilities” that she had been injured as a result of what he termed “a very minor ‘fenderbender,’” noting that prior to the accident she had been visiting a doctor regularly in relation to ongoing pain from the previous shoulder injuries and surgeries

and for other complaints that she later alleged were a result of the accident. Romilly also found that the defendants’ vehicle was travelling at no more than two km/h at the time of the impact, noting that the bumper of Pacheco’s vehicle sustained “two very small scratches.” Not only had the plaintiff failed to provide objective evidence that the collision had caused her injuries, Romilly said, but he also did not find Pacheco to be “a very credible witness at trial.” “I find that she had a strong penchant for gross exaggeration and, as such, I do not accept her evidence,” the judge said.

Alexa’s Law credited for success

Cut in alcohol-related deaths Tom Fletcher Black Press

Roadside suspensions and vehicle seizures for drivers blowing as low as 0.05 per cent blood alcohol have helped cut B.C. drinking and driving deaths by half, Attorney General Suzanne Anton said last month. Government statistics show average fatalities from drinking and driving have fallen to 54 a year from a previous five-year average of 112, since the law took effect in September 2010. Anton said the program is so successful that other provinces are moving in the same direction. Anton wouldn’t comment on court challenges to the program, which imposes penalties on people who test in the “warn” range below 0.08, where they are subject to impaired driving charges. “If there have to be changes made to it, we will be making those, but the program is good, it saves lives and that’s what’s important,” Anton said.

Long before computers became the norm for the annual chore, she was jotting numbers onto lengthy forms for those in need in 1990 when a free tax clinic opened up at Surrey Alliance Church. For the first five years, she even made house calls for disabled or housebound clients. At 84, she’s “still pretty illiterate,” on computers, but prides herself in knowing about the only thing she can do well with them is file someone’s tax return. Bruckner was among the first in the area to be trained on the computers that were used by the tax clinic – the first units were donated by Canadian Airlines around the year 2000, when the carrier merged with Air Canada. Before that, the tax-filing process involved loads of Don Poole papers, “one pencil and a co-ordinator humongous eraser,” jokes Don Poole, the clinic’s coordinator for the last 10 years. Poole runs a small army of 30 volunteers – about 20 of them certified to work the 11 workstations on the church’s spacious mezzanine-level balcony. Returns are completed on a first-come, first-served basis, through a drop-off service, or by appointment. Volunteers are trained by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in what’s called the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). Initial training takes about eight hours, and returning volunteers are given short refresher webinars each year as new

Bruckner, 84, has been helping low-income and senior clients at the site since tax year 1989. tax rules take hold. The CRA’s free tax clinics are geared for single people who make up to $30,000 per year, one adult with one child making up to $35,000, or couples making $40,000. Additional children allow for extra income of $2,500 per child. The only other limitation for the tax clinic eligibility is simplicity: Tax preparers will not process returns for business owners, landlords (those who claim rent as income), or on behalf of the deceased. Volunteer Les Friesen says the role of CVITP tax preparers is not to give tax advice, but they can and do make clients aware if they’re eligible for various government rebates and tax credits due to disabilities or other dependents they hadn’t considered. He says clients have been surprised by what they could claim – some benefits going back up to 10 years.

NEW PLACE SAME FACE!

Volunteers at Surrey Alliance Church have filed 28,000 tax returns since 1990, and filed 2,000 in 2013. “We’re doing good service for the community,” Bruckner says. The tax clinic is open each every Tuesday and Saturday (except April 19) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. until April 29 at Surrey Alliance Church, 13474 96 Ave. Appointments can be made by calling 604-584-7617, Ext. 103.

Strong Middle Class, Strong Economy

Climate-change â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;solutionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; border on fantastical

Sci-fi leaps vs. practicality Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little doubt that our climate is changing, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncertainty about the direction of change and disagreement about the causal factors. One result of the absence of consensus is a proliferation of schemes to halt or ameliorate global warming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; schemes that seem to belong in the world of science fiction. Roy Strang One proposal is to scatter iron filings over the oceans. This would stimulate growth of marine algae, which would absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and, on their deaths, sink to the ocean floor and sequester the carbon there. A space-based idea is to suspend a huge umbrella between the Earth and the sun where the pull of gravity and centripetal forces are in balance (the so-called Lagrange Point), so that the sunshade would remain stationary and require no energy input. More detailed examination of the idea indicated a sunshade about four million square kilometres would offset half of the expected global warming, and no one could conjecture how to put it in place. What seems even more outlandish is a suggestion to manipulate the trajectories of asteroids or comets to shift the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbit into a cooler part of the solar system. A more Earth-bound project suggests scattering sulphate aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect incoming solar radiation. This would copy the recorded effects of volcanic eruptions, which in 1991 cooled earth by 0.5 C for more than a year. However, the logistics of spreading the requisite volume of aerosols are more than a little daunting. Yet more bizarre is an idea to use sunlight to levitate huge numbers of nano-scale metallic discs into the atmosphere above the ozone layer, where they would reflect incoming radiation. Manufacturing the discs to exacting standards and deploying them would present real challenges. All of these imaginative steps beg the question of what is really happening to climate and why. Certainly climate was changing long before the Industrial Revolution. Technologies spawned by that revolution are responsible for consumption of finite resources and for pollution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be controlled if the will is there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but there is no convincing evidence proving a causal link between industrial activities and climate change;

enviro notes

correlation and cause are not the same. Reducing consumption and improving efficiencies are much more immediately practical measures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though less glamorous and exciting. Rather than dreaming up fantastical schemes to halt climate change, we should think of flexibility. How can we adapt and respond to change? (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m indebted to Marq de Villiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011 book, Our Way Out, for background material.) Dr. Roy Strang writes monthly on the environment for the Peace Arch News. rmstrang@shaw.ca

A conversation with Hon. Ralph Goodale, MP In the last 30 years, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy has doubled in size, while the average middle class family income has only risen by 13 percent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to talk about the future of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and how to create economic growth for the middle class. Join Ralph Goodale, deputy Liberal leader and former Canadian Finance Minister, for this important conversation.

nswer: Yes. But you must write your will so that his inheritance complies with some fairly complicated provisions involving either a discretionary trust or a non-discretionary trust. The provisions of these two kinds of trusts should be drafted taking into consideration the amount of the bequest to your son, the needs of your son, and whether your trustee is willing to administer the trust for the life of your son. Fortunately there are excellent lawyers in this area that are well qualiÀed to draft such a will.

ASK THE DENTIST!

FaceLIFT Dentures and Dental Implants Question:

Back in 1999 I was fitted with a Complete FaceLIFT DENTURES CAN HELP GIVE YOU A MORE YOUTHFUL Upper Denture. For the first 10 years or so no one could tell that FACIAL APPEARANCE AND A FULLER BRIGHTER SMILE.

I had no upper teeth - my Denture fit perfectly and the teeth looked very natural. Then my Denture started getting loose, so I had it relined multiple times but recently I’ve started to notice that even my relined denture is affecting the way I smile and talk and my teeth don’t show as much when I smile – it feels like my Denture is letting the skin around my mouth sag more than it should for someone my age. I won’t have a face lift so what can I do to fix this problem - will dental implants help? What are my options?

Answer: There is elegant but simple solution to your problem and it is called a “FaceLIFT Dentures”. Unlike a standard Denture, a FaceLIFT Denture provides for superior lip and facial support which often provides patients with a starting change in their facial appearance.

As we age, our body produces less and less collagen and so with less elasticity and support things naturally begin to slowly wrinkle, sag and droop. Since a significant amount of lip and facial support is normally provided by the teeth and gums, the problem of a drooping smile and sagging facial skin is further compounded for Denture wearers. Without teeth the surrounding edentulous ridges continue to shrink and change shape through a process called “resorption”. A stable fitting Denture relies heavily upon a good peripheral seal and suction which is usually achieved by setting the teeth over the edentulous ridge but as the ridge resorbs, the tooth position has to change in order to maintain suction which leads to less support for the lips, mouth and surrounding facial muscles. This leads to that typical sunken in look of a standard Denture. With the fabrication of a FaceLIFT Denture issues of a sagging smile, sunken-in mid face and deep creases at the corner of the mouth can be readily addressed because they utilize the principals of Neuromuscular Dentistry and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation). Using TENS a set of ultra low frequency electrodes can be placed over certain muscles and nerves in the head and neck which allow the patients muscles of jaws opening and closing to ‘relax’ and find a position where they are at physiological rest. Muscles at physiological rest are not contracted or overstretched, which means that the overlying dermal and epidermal layers of “skin” appear to be less stretched, and wrinkled – giving the skin a more even tone and better volume. With FaceLIFT Dentures, TENS is utilized for a) Muscle and Nerve Mediated Border Molding and b) to help find the proper vertical opening for the patient and the ideal relationship of their upper jaw (maxilla) to their lower jaw (mandible).

Notice the significant change in the smile, neck and chin position. With the help of a TENS device a Neuromuscular Dentist can use this Muscle Border Molding technique to help relax the muscles of jaw opening and closing so that the patient achieves a more accurate fitting Denture – one with more stability and improved adhesion/suction. Because of this increased suction this means the Denture teeth DO NOT have to set over the resorbed ridge which gives the typical Denture that sunken in look. Instead the teeth can be set in a much more ideal position closer to their old vertical opening and rest position for their jaws. This allows for superior lip and facial support often providing the patient with a startling change is their facial appearance. The combination of a more ideal, natural vertical opening plus an improved bite relationship allows for the creation of the FaceLIFT Denture effect. Typically, a new set of FaceLIFT Dentures can be made in just three simple appointments starting with the TENS Border molding technique using the patients old denture. Then a wax try-in with the new teeth mounted into a more esthetic position for the patient’s smile and facial profile. The last appointment is the delivery appointment which usually requires only minimal adjustments because the Denture has been fabricated using the principals of Neuromuscular Dentistry. These esthetic Dentures can even be fabricated with the use of a minimum of two (2) Dental implants which can either be used to help to eliminate the palate and significantly increase both speech and taste or increase the stability and retention of a lower denture. If you or a loved one are considering a new Denture(s), please feel free to give our office a call and book an appointment – our staff would be more than happy to discuss the features and benefits of FaceLIFT Dentures with you.

Students with autism require ABA support while learning: parents

Parents push for schools to follow Surrey model Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A White Rock mother is working with a Lower Mainlandbased group to encourage school districts to adopt a learning method beneficial to children with autism. Dione Costanzo and the ABA Support Network aim to incorporate the use of applied behaviour analysis (ABA) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a structured teaching method in which functional skills are broken down and taught one step at a time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; into schools in order to continue the progress children with autism make at home. Currently, Surrey is one of the only school districts in the province that accommodates the method. Costanzo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whose 11-yearold son Christopher was diagnosed with autism seven years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â said that without incorporating the structured teaching at school, the progress made at home would diminish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine if you had spent years and years and thousands of dollars, and it just stops. For some families, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story. They spend time and money and getting to a place of progress and then, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in schools that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accommodate ABA programs, in a lot of cases, the children regress,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Surrey School District is one of few that does accommodate ABA programs, she noted, adding that her son has benefitted from the the structured learning method due to an established system for hiring ABA-trained teaching aides at Crescent Park Elementary. However, many other school districts have yet to take that step, Costanzo said, adding that frustrated parents are leaving their districts or going to private school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much stress and expense in these parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for them,â&#x20AC;? she said. The group has reached out to provincial minister of education Peter Fassbender, as well as several school districts, with a press release and has organized pre-

sentations, which are put on by parents and behavioural consultants reviewing what ABA is and what it can look like in schools. The group is also using Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success as an example of the benefits of implementing the learning method, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to facilitate a discussion that can bridge a gap between districts that are not currently accommodating ABA,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to inspire them to start on that journey as well.â&#x20AC;? The ABA Support Network is made up of more than 1,000 families throughout the province. The group holds monthly meetings in a number of communities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including South Surrey and White Rock. For more information, visit www.abasupportnetwork.com

Hospice society’s dignified gesture A labour of love one year in the making is to add dignity to the journey of death. Officials with White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society presented the “Dignity Quilt” to staff of the Peace Arch Hospice Residence last week. The handcrafted quilt – made by members of the Fraser Valley Quilters Guild and featuring a

dove surrounded by hearts – will be used to cover the body of a deceased individual as they are moved out of the hospice residence. “The intention of this quilt is to help preserve the dignity of patients, their families and friends with care and compassion,” society acting executive director Theresa Robson said.

Death and the Maiden runs until Saturday at Coast Capital Playhouse

Play offers a ‘compelling snapshot’ of society D eath and the Maiden is not an easy play to watch, particularly if you are not accustomed to raw language and themes – and equally raw emotions – on the White Rock community theatre stage. But with Peninsula Productions’ limited-run presentation of Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman’s symbolic psychological thriller, Death and the Maiden (tonight until Saturday), the local theatre scene takes another bold step forward out of community theatre’s usual comfort zone of clever mysteries and folksy comedies. Judging by Tuesday’s dress rehearsal, this is a must-see for those who appreciate acting that digs below the surface, as well as arguments that challenge preconceived moral beliefs. There’s nothing comforting about this play – or the strong, uncompromising performances of Lori Tych, Ben Odberg and Guy Fauchon. Indeed, Dorfman’s modus is to

been appointed to a presidential commission to investigate the crimes of the past, Paulina becomes intent on her own form of justice – binding Roberto and holding him at gunpoint, brutalizing and humiliating him, determined to force a confession from him. As a believer in justice, Gerardo is forced into the position of defending the man, while abhorring the crimes. Odberg makes Gerardo an emotional, credible, believably flawed individual, and his intense, sincere playing reaches its peak when Paulina confronts him with truths about their own relationship. Tych also does fine work walking a tightrope between the jagged fragments of Paulina’s life – memories of the nightmarish abuses of her imprisonment, the things she valued and what they have become, her battle between love and distrust of Gerardo, even the guilt she feels for being too easily victimized, all come to life

Given the volatility of the others, Fauchon succeeds in giving the anchoring performance to the play – an excellently contained performance that carries conviction even when he is bound and gagged, mutely and helplessly trussed at centre stage. Just as Dorfman pulls no punches in presenting the basic problem, he gives no easy outs for the audience. But he does offer a compelling snapshot of a dysfunctional society – whether 1970s Chile or perhaps closer to home – that must, for its own survival, struggle to overcome the past. Death and the Maiden – 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse – is presented with a warning of extremely strong language and mature themes.

First United Church presents internationally-acclaimed musician

Goodman-trained clarinetist to play White Rock Alex Browne

Pianist, composer, arranger and former Goodman sideman Dick Hyman – who has latterly written many genre-bridging concert pieces for

Arts reporter

It’s not every clarinetist who can say he studied with Benny Goodman. In fact, internationallyrenowned, New York-based Canadian musician Julian Milkis – who appears in concert with pianist Eugene Skovorodnikov at 3 p.m. this Sunday (March 9), at White Rock’s First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. – is the only one who can make the claim. In his program, From Baroque To Jazz, presented by Encore Peninsula Concerts, fans will be treated to music that not only showcases Milkis’ widely-celebrated tone and technique (as well as the felicitous accompaniment of Skovorodnikov) but also touches on lessons he learned first hand from the jazz legend and clarinet icon. Those sessions took place between 1983 and 1986, the last years of Goodman’s life. As a young musician beginning to make a name for himself in New York, the Russian-born Milkis had attracted Goodman’s attention. He consented to work with Milkis, provided the agenda was strictly classical – plenty of Mozart and Brahms – but also many of the concert pieces that had been specifically writ-

Milkis including his latest, Ragtime Concerto – told Milkis he escaped lightly. >see page 24

“Here he was, 74 years old, and every single day he started with scales and Mozart.” Milkis also experienced the ‘Goodman ray’ – the baleful stare of disapproval the bandleader was wont to visit on hapless sidemen – but only once. “It was my very first lesson, at the end,” he said. “It was awkward, because we hadn’t talked about money for the lessons. I said ‘how much do I owe you?’ and for long minutes he just sat there looking at me, until he finally said “professionals don’t charge other professionals.”

Sunday concert to feature mixture of Baroque and jazz pieces › from page 23 “He said people in his bands would almost have a heart-attack – Goodman would turn and stare you down,” Milkis said, adding he believes the habit stemmed from Goodman’s “absolute” perfectionism. “I have a recording Hyman gave me of Benny’s orchestra in Switzerland in 1950. I thought it was absolutely impossible to play like that – everything is perfect. But Hyman said they rehearsed every

little tune 50 times to get that result.” Ironically, in light of his accolades from concert halls around the world, Milkis never intended to be a clarinetist. Growing up in a family of professional musicians in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) he was a piano student – until he received an inexcusable B grade at the age of 11. “It was a punishment,” he said. “I was told I had to study clarinet. But I guess it stuck somehow.”

He was really taking the instrument seriously by the time he moved from Toronto (where his family had settled as immigrants) to the pressure-cooker competitive environment of New York, he said. “I spent an entire year practising nine hours a day,” he added. “I paid my dues.” The clarinet has the third largest classical repertoire of any instrument, he noted, adding that he’s lost count of the number of concert pieces he has debuted over his

career. And when he and Skovorodnikov mix and match Baroque and jazz pieces during Sunday’s concert – it’s a testament to their enjoyment of both idioms. “They’re basically the same thing,” Milkis added, noting Baroque’s fondness for improvisations over a sketched continuo – a direct counterpart to improvisation over chord changes that is a cornerstone of chamber jazz. Even though the Goodman jazz repertoire was off-limits during his

lessons with the master, Milkis said he couldn’t stand next to Goodman, hearing him play, without absorbing some of his sound, or being persuaded of the expressive, vocal qualities of vibrato. “He changed my sound a lot. I never used vibrato and I played a very hard reed. He said, ‘it’s a very difficult instrument – why make it more difficult?’” To book tickets, or for more info, call 604-541-2199 or visit www. peninsula productions.org

SYTCO players Hunter Hart, Samantha Palatinus, Jessana Akehurst, Ella Neufeld, Anna Borowski rehearse a market scene for Aladdin Jr.

Visual artist Gunilla Kay will celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, with the opening of her one-woman show, Splashes of Colour at Good Day Sunshine Café, 100-2950 King George Blvd. For more, call 778989-0369.

SYTCO’s latest show to run March 8-9

Aladdin for all ages Alex Browne Arts Reporter

It may be called Aladdin Jr. – but it’s a show for all ages. Surrey Youth Theatre Company founder and director Susan Pendleton said while the upcoming production (at White Rock Elementary Theatre, 1273 Fir St., March 8, 5 and 7 p.m.; March 9, 2:30 p.m.) uses a script intended for schools, it has all of the appeal and humour of the full-scale Disney animated movie. “It’s not Aladdin Kids and it’s not the adult Aladdin, which is not available because it’s still playing on Broadway,” she explains. “So, by default, this is the one we’re doing with our company.” For this show the company is an ensemble of 19 players ranging in age from six to 16. “They’re a lovely group – I’m so excited about them,” Pendleton said.

www.peacearchnews.com 25 25 www.peacearchnews.com

“We had an influx of some very strong nine-, 10- and 11-year olds this year, including two wonderful young boys including Hunter Hart and Adam Scott. “They’re two of our five narrators, who carry the show – all of them are new to us, as are our Aladdin (Jessana Akehurst) and Jasmine (Vianne Chang).” The show relies on imagination, suggestion and flexible set elements, plus costumes by Aurora Scott and choreography by Carol Seitz to create a sense of wonder, Pendleton said. “We actually have a person playing the flying carpet – Julia Kelleway. She’s a dancer, and she’s having great fun playing it.” Other players in the show include Anya Haider as the genie, Jodie-Ann Wang as Jafar, Tia Berezan as Iago and Gurpreet Dosanjh as the sultan.

Students seeking private music lessons have options Time and again research has proven the benefits of music education. Children who study music typically score better on standardized testing and exhibit improved language and reasoning skills, and music education helps students with advanced mathematics lessons by improving their spatial and temporal reasoning. Involvement in music and the arts can improve a student's SAT scores and make the student well-rounded. Despite these benefits, music and art education is slowly disappearing from the classroom. At many schools across the nation, stages are dark and band and chorus rooms are empty. Budget cuts have been unkind to music education programs. To keep up with the demand for technology in the classroom, certain school programs have to be scaled back, and art and music are generally the first to go. This leaves it up to parents to involve their kids in music education. Private lessons have long been a great way for kids to learn music, and many such music coaches are former music teachers. With private lessons, kids get to benefit from working with certified instructors, and parents are happy to make music a part of their youngsters' lives. The following are a handful of ways parents can find private lessons for their kids. * Word of mouth: Begin by asking neighbors or friends in the community if they know of any reliable music teachers. Someone is bound to know a person or have a connection to a music teacher.

SPRING HORSE CAMP 2014

Speak with members of a community music ensemble, such as a church choir, or even amateur or professional musicians you see playing at a restaurant or bar. There's a good chance you can get a referral. You may also have a friend or neighbor who is a talented musician and will agree to offer lessons on the side. * Community music programs: While schools may not have music classes, community centers offer programs for both adults and children. A community arts center may offer instrument training and/or vocal lessons, so look into such organizations in your community. A community YMCA or a similar organization also may have after-school music programs. * Nearby colleges: Music students at local colleges may want to make extra money by offering music lessons. They may be able either to meet at your home or use the music room on campus to conduct lessons. * Newspaper classifieds: Tutors frequently advertise their services in the newspaper. Look in the classified section to see if anyone is offering music lessons. Many newspapers now offer their classifieds both online and in print, so utilize both options to ensure your search is as thorough as possible. Music education is important, but those seeking instruction may have to look outside of school. Private instructors are available to help foster a love of the arts and mold creative, well-rounded children.

Next two games set for South Surrey

Eagles fall to Rivermen in series opener Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

A two-goal effort from Anthony Conti wasn’t enough to stake the Surrey Eagles to a lead in their best-of-seven series with the Langley Rivermen Tuesday night. Instead, the Rivermen used a strong second-period push – and got some help from a couple of friendly goal posts – en route to a 4-2 win in front of an announced crowd of 768 fans at the Langley Events Centre. As of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Wednesday, the Rivermen lead the BC Hockey League first-round series 1-0. Game 2 of the series – also played in Langley – was played Wednesday night. The first of Conti’s two goals came six minutes into the first period, though

offence from either side was otherwise limited; Surrey had just three shots on goal, while Langley sent seven in the direction of Eagles’ starting netminder Bo Didur. Surrey’s 1-0 lead lasted until early in the second frame when, with Nathan Renouf in the penalty box serving a tripping penalty, Langley’s Matt Utaski scored to tie it up. Twelve minutes later, the Rivermen went up 2-1 when Marcus Vela finished off a play, with Gage Torrell and Tyson Witala drawing assists. Then, just eleven seconds later, Langley made it 3-1 on a goal from Evan Anderson. The Eagles could very well have escaped the period with the score knotted at 3-3, but hit two posts behind Langley goalie

Brock Crossthwaite. In the third period, Conti scored his second of the game – with assists going to Kale Bennett and Matt Dawson – to make it 3-2 with less than three minutes to play, but Langley’s Jakob Reichert secured the win with an unassisted empty-net marker as time expired. Both teams finished the game dead even in shots-on-goal at 27, with the Eagles peppering Crossthwaite with 17 in the third as they attempted to tie the game. The Eagles – whose power play in the regular season was ranked second in the league at a 20 per cent success rate – struggled against the defensively stingy Rivermen, going 0-4. Game 3 of the series goes Friday at South

Surrey Arena, with the fourth game set for Saturday. Both games begin at 7 p.m.

Around the league In the BCHL’s other Mainland Division playoff battle, the Prince George Spruce Kings took the first game of their series with the Coquitlam Express, winning 3-2. Like Eagles-Rivermen, the second game was played Wednesday after press deadline. In the Interior Division, Penticton rolled to an 8-0 Game 1 victory over the Merritt Centennials, while West Kelowna beat the Vernon Vipers 5-1. On the Island, Powell River edged Nanaimo 3-2 and Victoria blanked the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 3-0.

Plenty of medals at Guildford meet

Gymnasts on podium Rick Kupchuk Black Press

There was plenty of competition for the host club at the Carol Lenz Memorial Invitational last weekend at the Guildford Rec Centre. Hosted by the Surrey Gymnastic Society (SGS), the 29th annual competition attracted 538 participants (380 girls and 158 boys) from across British Columbia and included three clubs from Alberta, but SGS competitors more than held their own. Surrey resident Alanna Jones, 20, won the all-around silver medal in the Provincial 5 Open category for girls, after gold-medal efforts on vault and floor and earning a bronze on bars. In Provincial 2 Tyro girls (born 2003) Cassandra Principe, 10, of Surrey took the all-around gold. She won gold on bars, added a silver on beam and was fourth on vault. SGS teammate Makiah Anderson, also 10 and from Surrey, won bronze on beam. i see page 28

Valley West prep for playoffs

Hawks set new record for wins Rick Kupchuk Black Press

They were one of the few teams in the BC Hockey Major Midget League that had nothing to play for on the last weekend of the regular season. But that didn’t mean the Valley West Hawks would let up in Nanaimo against the North Island Silvertips. The Hawks, assured of a third-place finish, travelled to Vancouver Island and swept the Silvertips 3-2 and 8-1. They finished the regular season with a 27-11-2 record, setting a team record for most wins in a season and matching the previous best for total points. Valley West allowed the Silvertips to score twice in the first period and fell behind 2-0, then shut the door over the final 40 minutes of Saturday’s game. Luke Gingras of Langley netted a pair of goals, with Trevor Ayre of Surrey and White Rock’s Matt Barberis drawing assists on both tallies. Surrey forward Matt Bradley – who played eight games in the BC Hockey League this season, as an affiliate player with the Surrey Eagles – also scored for the Hawks.

In Sunday’s blowout win, they took a 3-1 lead into the third period before adding five unanswered goals. Bradley led the way with the hat trick, with Barberis, Gingras, Surrey’s Justin WIlde, Jesse Lansdell of Langley and Devante Stephens adding one each. Stephens, a defenceman from White Rock, also collected a game-high four assists. The Hawks will host the Cariboo Cougars of Prince George in a best-of-three quarterfinal series this weekend. The first two games are Friday night at 6:15 p.m. at the Langley Sportsplex and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. at the George Preston Rec Centre in Langley. A third game, if necessary, is Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m., also at the George Preston arena. Valley West took seven of eight points from the Cougars during the regular season. The Hawks swept their games in Prince George 3-2 and 6-4 Oct. 19-20, and added a 5-3 win on Dec. 8, a day before the two rivals played to a 1-1 tie in Langley.

Danton Heinen led team in scoring during regular sason

Eagles’ captain inks scholarship deal with Denver Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Danton Heinen captain

Surrey Eagles’ captain Danton Heinen is headed south. The 18-year-old Langley native – who is in his first season in the BC Hockey League – agreed last week to a scholarship with the University of Denver, one of the top hockey programs in the NCAA. Heinen, who was given the captain’s ‘C’ when former captain Brett Mulcahy was

Denver is a real high-end program.” Schaefer said Heinen’s start date in Denver is still undecided. Schaefer said the added weight of the captaincy has not hindered Heinen’s play. In fact, he suggested he has been even better as the season has worn on. “Danton’s a guy who can change games, and his game really picked up after we gave him the ‘C’. He’s not the loudest guy, but he doesn’t have to be. He’s just a guy

who competes every night.” Heinen’s deal brings to seven the number of Eagles with scholarship deals. Anthony Conti will play in Surrey next season before joining the University of Alaska-Anchorage in 2015/16, while Chase McMurphy will join Alaska-Fairbanks the same year. Philippe Johansson (Brown), Jonah and Nathan Renouf (Quinnipiac) and Braeden Russell (Brown) also have scholarships.

To get a sneak peak at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same platform as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800. Looks This new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA. The GLA has a less aggressive front grille

Drive The base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruising on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain canyons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better economy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assembled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring. Verdict Mercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45 AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to drive.

MINI Convertible - $29,500 There’s something to be said about driving a MINI. It’s unlike any other experience out there. It feels like driving a street-legal go-kart, but without the abrasiveness that go-karts can have. Its pristine handling and fabulous gearbox only enhance the experience. Granted, visibility out the rear with the top up isn’t fabulous, and there isn’t a lot of trunk space (but there still is room for four!), those are secondary details. Take the 121 horsepower MINI Convertible for a spin and fall in love with things that come in small packages. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber It happened just after the last flood. The T winter beat records for snowfall, and springtime saw serious seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a rrelatively normal car.

the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!

drivewayBC.ca Homemade KITT Knight Rider replica Chris Palmer needed five Pontiac Trans Ams, numerous visits to eBay, countless hours of work and the generosity of several friends to re-create the car that starred in the hit 1980s television show Knight Rider. And he wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again. “It was totally worth it – more than worth it,” Palmer said of his KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) lookalike. “I love this car. Everybody seems to love this car.” Palmer started with a 1991 Pontiac Trans Am, which had a better drivetrain but was nine years newer than the car used in the show. That decision Palmer found KITT’s necessitated the purchase of unique dash (complete with four more Trans Am models – two video screens) and the two each from 1982 and 1983 car’s trademark front bumper – so he could swap out the on eBay. panels and parts required to make it look like KITT. The ’91 Rob Sass also has a five-speed manual transmission, unlike KITT’s automatic, so Palmer chopped the gearshift and swapped out the knob to make it look authentic. Palmer found KITT’s unique dash (complete with two video screens) and the car’s trademark front bumper on eBay, and everything operates and sounds as it did on the show. KITT’s Michigan vanity license plate reads KNI6HT. The Detroit-area resident said his 3½-year project would not have been possible without the help of Sled Alley Hot Rods owner Matt Gurjack and co-worker Steve Jay; Lafata Auto Body owner Eric Lafata, who did the paint; and H&E Overlays owner Eric Thompson, who assisted with the dash installation and also made the gauge overlays. Palmer, president of the newly created Great Lakes Knights Car Club, which he and Thompson co-founded, hopes to build show-quality movie-replica cars for other fans. For now, he’s enjoying all the attention he’s getting from the ultimate KITT car. Watch the video at: http://bit.ly/1i63kBc

GVHBA taking the stress out of buying a new home By Kerry Vital

Buying a home, especially if it’s for the first time, can be an extremely stressful experience. There are many decisions that need to be made, and roadblocks can easily appear. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is aiming to help first-time home buyers with their 20th Annual Seminar for First-Time Home Buyers. Taking place on March 11 at the Bell Performing Arts

Centre in Surrey, this year’s event aims to demystify the buying process. “With interest rates still incredibly low and builders offering many new-home product choices, this is a great time for first-time buyers to consider taking that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in Metro Vancouver, and (the) GVHBA is at the forefront of connecting the residential construction industry with consumers. Seminar attendance is

expected to be as many, or greater than, the 750 people who attending last year’s event.” Among the speakers this year are Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst at the Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp., Bill Macklem, president of Dominion Macklem Mortgages and Sandra Wyant, president-elect of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, among many others. The topics will include legal considerations, mortgages and warranties, along with several others. “This is a one-stop information shop for first-time home buyers, so anyone considering buying a home should come to this free seminar,” says de Wit. The exhibit area featuring new-home builders and homerelated products and services will be open between 6 and 7 p.m., while the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. The seminar is free, though attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

Bluetree Homes at Citadel Heights features Craftsman-style architecture, spacious four- and five-bedroom floorplans and open layouts. Among the gourmet kitchen features, above right, are stainless-steel appliances, quartz composite stone countertops and a ceramic tile backsplash.

Best of both worlds with Bluetree Homes at Citadel Heights By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is rising to the top with Citadel Heights, its popular single-family community in Port Coquitlam that offers not only beautiful, move-in ready homes but an established mature neighbourhood and convenient access to the rest of the

Lower Mainland as well. Bluetree comes from noted builder ParkLane Homes with a well-established reputation for building quality, and this tradition continues at Citadel Heights. “Citadel is quite a hidden gem,” says sales manager Dana de Boer. “Homeowners get views of the Fraser River and Mount Baker, and that view factor has been a huge draw.” Over 50 per cent of the 29 homes at Citadel Heights have already been sold. Part of the appeal is the spacious four- and five-bedroom floorplans, ranging from 2,800 to 3,577 square feet. “All of our homes include a fully finished basement, which is something that people enjoy,” says de Boer. “You can choose a fully contained suite for in-laws, returning children

or simply as a mortgage helper.” There’s plenty of curb appeal at Citadel Heights due to the Craftsman-style architecture and gorgeous landscaping. Every home has its own private yard as well as a spacious front porch, deck and patio. Engineered hardwood is included throughout the main floor, with lush carpeting on the upper floor. A gas fireplace in the living room with its contemporary quartz composite stone surround and custom-designed mantel is sure to be a showpiece, or just the perfect place to relax. Three different designer colour schemes are available, giving you a chance to personalize your home to suit your tastes. The kitchen holds everything an aspiring chef needs, from stainless-steel appliances to

shaker-style cabinetry to quartz composite stone countertops and a kitchen island. A ceramic tile backsplash complements the countertops. The spa-inspired bathrooms feature hand-set porcelain tile flooring and quartz composite stone countertops. The ensuite holds an acrylic tub and shower with decorative ceramic and glass accent tile, while the main bath features an acrylic alcove tub with ceramic tile surround. The cabinetry depends on the colour scheme chosen for the home, with a choice of either contemporary flat-panel or elegant shaker-style. The location is also a big draw.

OBITUARIES BAKER, Dolores â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dollyâ&#x20AC;? Mary

Age 82, of Langley, British Columbia passed away quietly on February 13, 2014. Born July 19, 1931 in Kamloops, British Columbia to William and Vera Cochran, Dolly and her twin brother were the youngest children of eight. Dolly lived with her family and was raised in the Kamloops, Williams Lake area, where she met and married her life long partner, Donald William Baker, in 1950. Don & Dolly then settled in the lower mainland where they raised their family and worked a small hobby farm. Dolly loved the outdoors and spent much of her personal time camping, with her immediate & extended family members, at a number of her favorite lakes throughout the interior of B.C. Dolly is survived by her five children and their spouses, Rick and Judy Baker of Vernon, Gary and Sheila Baker of White Rock, Linda and Barry Wilson of Aldergrove, Bob Baker and Fran Knowles of Kamloops, Kathy Welch and Ed Anderson of Langley, her eleven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, and her twin brother Donald Cochran. A Celebration of Life will be held at Hendersons Funeral Home in Langley on Saturday, March 15 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your charity of choice.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Olga on March 4, 2014. Pre-deceased by her son Robert Michael in 2008. Survived by her loving husband, Ron of 62 years; three grandchildren, Kelly Cooper, Victoria Hoppe, Brett Burrows and five great grandchildren. Olga fought a courageous battle with cancer for two years and is now resting in peace. She will be dearly missed by all who loved and knew her. A viewing will be held Friday, March 7th from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC. Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

Vina passed away peacefully at Morgan Heights Care Facility on February 26, 2014. She is predeceased by her husband Stan and lovingly remembered by her nieces, Betty McLean (Gary) and Linda Cox (George); brothers, Bud (Bev) and Nick; greatnieces, Janet (John), Lorraine (Cory) and great-nephew, Alan and many other nieces and nephews. Vina loved to travel, enjoyed her involvement with the White Rock Theatre for many years, and had a successful 45 year career with the Bank of Montreal.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Walter (Wally) Uden on Feb 28, 2014 at the age of 91. Predeceased by wives Joyce Walker and Beverly Topping he is survived by Lucille, his loving wife of 11 years, son Neil, grandson Craig granddaughters Jacqueline & Cathy and great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He will be sorely missed by family, friends, and neighbours. Walter was always one to help others with good advice. Wally developed countless lifelong friendships from his days operating his own painting company throughout the lower mainland for almost 70 years.

Take your detox to the next level by including detoxifying foods every day! The biggest benefit of a detox is its power to create life-long healthy eating habits. Take these three steps for an everyday detox diet that will last: 1. Start your day with a green smoothie including veggies like celery, kale, and blue-green algae- just a few dynamite detoxifiers to choose from. 2. Follow the rainbow through the day. Fill your plate with the 3 different coloured fruits and veggies at lunch and dinner for a boost of fibre to promote digestive cleansing. 3. Stay hydrated with 8 glasses of water; try flavouring it with fresh rosemary, cucumber slices, frozen berries or citrus slices for a tantalizing treat. 2010 - 2014 Awards.
