Hill climb dropped from 35-year-old cycling event

Tour de White Rock changes gears Sarah Massah & Nick Greenizan Staff Reporters

Change is coming to next year’s Tour de White Rock cycling weekend. For the first time in the 35-year history of the event – which is held every July – there will be no Friday evening hill climb, and just two days of racing will be staged, as opposed to three. The changes were made late last month

when organizers of BC Superweek – the weeklong series that includes the Tour de White Rock, Tour de Delta, Giro di Burnaby and both UBC and Gastown Grand Prix events – released the 2015 Superweek schedule, and the new two-day format was further discussed at White Rock council Monday evening. With the hill climb cancelled, the Choices Market Criterium race – in which cyclists

zip around a short course in uptown White Rock – has been moved from its usual Saturday afternoon spot to the evening of Friday, July 17. The Peace Arch News Road Race will also move – from Sunday morning to Saturday, July 18. “We’ve noticed declining participation in the hill climb,” Eric Stepura, director of leisure services, told council. “The original intent of the hill climb was to include local

riders in the Tour de White Rock, and it’s been our experience that we really aren’t attracting local riders, and professional riders choose not to participate or they really don’t give it their best.” Stepura noted that by re-allocating the resources from the hill climb to the other two races, the change could attract more participants. i see page 10

South Surrey homicides

Surrey plans boost

Search for answers continues

Residents plead for tax-hike reprieve

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Police investigating the murders of two South Surrey children – with perpetrators of one still at-large – were mum on both files this week. “There are no updates to provide in these two investigations,” Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said by email Wednesday. “IHIT is concentrating our efforts on the (Dario Bartoli) homicide and locating the individual(s) responsible.” IHIT took charge of the files associated with Bartoli, Dario Bartoli 15, and eight-year-old Teagan Batstone within hours of each child’s death last week. Bartoli died in hospital last Saturday from injuries suffered in what police suggest may have been an “alcoholfuelled” altercation early that morning in or near Bakerview Park. Batstone, 8, was found dead Teagan Batstone in the trunk of a car in the 13900-block of 35A Avenue on Dec. 10. Her mother, Lisa Deanne Batstone, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the youngster’s death, and is scheduled to make her second appearance in Surrey Provincial Court this morning. i see page 10

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

She said she wept as she walked to Surrey’s budget meeting Monday, knowing that if planned tax hikes passed, she would no longer be available to afford her home. That evening, Surrey’s finance committee – comprised of all of city council – approved a budget that calls for a $162 hike in taxes. For Binder Mahal, it also means an additional $116 for her secondary suite, a necessary addition to make her home affordable. “Our house needs a fence and we can’t afford it,” she told the finance committee. “Who knows how long our fridge or stove will last? “Please, please, this is not fair,” she implored. “We are not happy to live in Surrey anymore.” Since Surrey First came into power nine years ago, taxes have gone up 100 per cent, she said, adding her taxes are now $4,000 annually. “I cannot take this anymore.” Surrey’s finance committee met on Monday afternoon to discuss the five-year financial plan for 2014-2018. i see page 10

White Rock asked by province to not allow dogs on West Beach at all

Rabid reaction expected for dog-ban bid Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

White Rock may be forced to tighten the leash when it comes to dogs on West Beach, following a request from the province’s ecological arm. But it could be difficult to enforce the sureto-be contentious bylaw if it is amended, notes the city’s chief administrative officer. “It would be very difficult for (bylaw officers) to monitor and deal with that issue, so even on a best-efforts basis, I suspect it would be a challenge,” city manager Dan Bottrill told council Monday. “It’s a very large waterfront with only a few resources available for bylaw (enforcement).” Currently, the city allows owners to walk

their dogs on-leash in an area at the far end of West Beach, between Bay and High streets. If the bylaw is amended, dogs would not be allowed on West Beach at all. The amendment to the city’s Animal Control and Licensing Bylaw was one of four recommendations to council in regards to the foreshore lease-extension application to the province. According to Bottrill, the province expressed concern for the ecological impact that dogs on the beach would make. Coun. Helen Fathers, who noted she is a dog owner herself, asked for explanation of Bottrill’s comments, indicating community complaints likely spurred the province’s request. “As a result of that, we’ve looked into the

lease and realized that we probably shouldn’t have allowed dogs in that area,” she hypothesized, requesting clarification. “We’ve rectified that going forward with the lease, but we’re not really going to enforce it. It’s just to satisfy the lease requirements. “It’s one thing to put it in there to satisfy the lease, but are we actually going to pursue it?” When Bottrill responded that any bylaw infraction would have to be enforced, Fathers quipped, “I better make sure I’m wearing a disguise on that day then.” Coun. Grant Meyer called the decision to renew the lease with the province a “nobrainer,” but said public consultation should be considered for the bylaw amendment. The province’s request also raised questions

from Couns. Dave Chesney and Lynne Sinclair concerning what Chesney called “the Lower Mainland’s number one off-leash outlaw dog park” located on Semiahmoo First Nation land abutting White Rock’s East Beach. “It seems to me that East Beach or east of East Beach is being treated quite differently than West Beach,” Sinclair said. “It (is) worthy of comment to the province in the sense that we’re being onerously treated in terms of our own obligations, and it’s the same bay. “I am concerned that people are not going to have any place to let their dogs off-leash in the way that they can now, and I think that we will hear from them.” Council delayed voting for the bylaw amendment until after public consultation.

Train order revoked

Whistles stopped Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s waterfront should be a little quieter, as far as noise from trains is concerned. Last week, Transport Canada revoked its order – issued last summer – that all trains sound “a repetitive succession of short horn blasts” when travelling along the waterfront from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Now, a standard warning – two long blasts, a short blast and a third long blast – is only required as the trains approach and exit the waterfront area. Regular whistling protocol still applies to anytime the train engineer feels a warning is warranted. As well, train bells are still required to be sounded along the length of the promenade. “Basically, we’re back to where we were before (the July 2013 death of a jogger on East Beach tracks),” Greg St. Louis, White Rock’s director of engineering and municipal operations, said Wednesday. City manager Dan Bottrill said the repetitive-whistling order was revoked following a determination by Transport Canada officials that “sufficient progress” has been made with regard to safety along the waterfront rail line. “We have made a number of different improvements,” Bottrill said, citing work in East Beach that has included adjustments to the grade of pedestrian crossings, the addition of mesh to hand railing and the addition of approximately 230 metres of hand railing to close gaps in the barrier. “Transport Canada looked at the progress of those safety improvements and were satisfied that the threat to safety of pedestrians (was reduced).” The seasonal drop in the number of beach visitors was also considered, he said, adding the decision is to be reviewed early next year. The news from Transport Canada does not mean the end of changes to the waterfront, however. Further work, including the addition of mesh to hand railing west of the pier, is still to come.

Cancer fundraiser poised to hit $100,000 mark

They’re all wrapped up in holiday spirit Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

For many people, spending a lot of time in a crowded shopping centre during the run-up to Christmas is something to be done sparingly. After all, it doesn’t take much – a busy parking lot, a mad rush of last-minute shoppers and, as a Grinch might say, all the noise, noise, noise, noise – to zap someone of holiday spirit. But for Janet Jans, who has spent the last decade of Decembers wrapping gifts at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, the feeling is quite the opposite. It’s there, behind the counter of the centre’s holiday gift-wrapping station, that she feels the most Christmas cheer. It’s why she’s spearheaded the gift-wrapping project for so long, raising thousands of dollars each year for the Canadian Cancer Society – they raise about $10,000 per year, and this year expect to top the $100,000 mark overall. For Jans, who co-ordinates all the gift-wrapping volunteers, such efforts are simply an extension of how she was raised. “I’ve done volunteer work all my life. I come from a big family – four brothers and one sister – and doing things like this was just what you did. It was part of our life,” said Jans, who grew up in Winnipeg.

Jans’ volunteerism extended beyond her hometown, as well. Her husband, Bill, is a former RCMP member, which meant moving quite a bit. And in each new town, she’d find a way to give back. In Ottawa – the couple’s first RCMP post, in the late 1960s – Jans joined up with the local legion to help raise funds for a new children’s hospital. Later, while living in Regina, she helped raise money for cancer research. And now in South Surrey, she’s once again helping raise money in support of cancer research, one wrapped gift at a time. It’s a big endeavour – Jans co-ordinates 93 volunteers (plus some spares) and fills three shifts every day, right up until Christmas Eve, when Semiahmoo Shopping Centre closes its doors for the big day. “There’s always a pretty long line right at the end,” she laughed. Jans is also quick to heap praise on her volunteers, many of whom have been wrapping gifts just as long as she has. “We have doctors, lawyers, teachers, realestate agents – people who take time off work to come here and help, all for a smile and a thank you,” she beamed. “Not everyone who volunteers has been

touched by cancer, though many have. And they’re all so caring and giving.” Raising money for cancer research is a cause near and dear to Jans; she lost her brother, Russell, to the disease at age 52. Her brother was “tall and strong, and never sick a day in his life” before being diagnosed, Jans said. Growing up, he’d always wanted to join the Marines, and eventually convinced his parents to let him move from Winnipeg to Minneapolis, where he enlisted. From there, he was transferred to Washington, D.C. and to this day, Jans explained, he is the only Canadian to have ever officially guarded a U.S. president – JFK. “He’s never far from my thoughts,” Jans said. There are others involved in the gift-wrap program who inspire her, too. Like one volunteer who, a few years ago, was diagnosed with breast cancer and scheduled for surgery on Boxing Day. “She worked Christmas Eve and never said a word,” Jans said. “She still comes in and helps.” The gift-wrap station at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre is open daily until 5 p.m. Christmas Eve, and gifts are wrapped by donation.

Seven take oaths of office during inaugural meeting

School trustees sworn in

Been collecting these?

Sheila Reynolds Black Press

It was a full house at the inaugural meeting of the newly elected Surrey Board of Education last week. The seven trustees were led into the meeting room Thursday evening at the District Education Centre by a bagpiper, as two members of the RCMP in Red Serge stood guard while they took their oaths of office. The meeting was the first since the Nov. 15 civic election that saw four incumbents, Laurie Larsen, Shawn Wilson, Terry Allen and Laurae McNally, and three new trustees, Gary Tymoschuk, Garry Thind and Bob Holmes, elected for a four-year term. All trustees are part of the Surrey First Education Team, except for White Rock’s representative, McNally, an independent. Following the swearing-in ceremony, Wilson was returned by acclamation as chairperson, as was Larsen as vice-chair. Wilson, who was first elected in 1999, spoke about the wide diversity in Surrey schools, with students coming from all corners of the globe and speaking hundreds of languages. “In Surrey, when we open the doors to our schools in the morning, we open the doors to the world,” he said.

School trustees are sworn into office during last week’s meeting. Wilson said the district is a leader in education in B.C. and often leads by example. “As trustees, we have stood for election to be in service,” he continued. “The public spoke loudly and now it is up to us to accept that sacred trust.” Larsen spoke about the continued co-operation she anticipated from the board and said she chose not to put her name forth for the demanding role of chairperson so she could put family first. Three Grade 11 students from Frank Hurt Secondary – Kailley Roesler, Abdul Khattab and Sherry Sandhu – welcomed the board on behalf of Surrey students, while Faizel Rawji, president of the Surrey Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association,

spoke on behalf of the district’s 9,000 employees. Linda Stromberg, president of the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), also welcomed trustees, noting they were in charge of a “vital component” of any society – education. Supt. Jordan Tinney said trustees make decisions that count. “You will, indeed, receive thanks from time to time. But those thanks will likely arrive far less frequently than the questions and concerns,” Tinney said, adding their email inboxes would soon be overflowing. Before adjourning, Wilson thanked outgoing trustees Reni Masi, Pam Glass and Charlene Dobie for their service. While Masi and Glass retired, Dobie was not re-elected.

Assuaging our stress

t should come as news to no one that the tragic, untimely deaths of two young people in South Surrey in the space of a few days last week have sent the anxiety level of Semiahmoo Peninsula residents through the roof. It doesn’t matter what the facts of each incident are, or what stage the investigations have reached, or what may yet be discovered. People, right here and right now, are feeling worried and disturbed. They are also feeling a want of leadership and imagination – on any political or social level – to help them come to terms with these tragedies. White Rock Baptist Church, where young Teagan Batstone was a junior member of the congregation, deserves credit for taking the initiative to organize a public memorial service Wednesday night to provide both a focus and a release for the feelings of the community. Dario Bartoli’s memory, too, is being honoured this Saturday at Peace Portal Alliance Church. As well, some of his many friends have left graffiti messages at the South Surrey skate park he frequented. The school board has provided grief counsellors and school administrations have sent out notices to parents. The rest, as they say, is silence. Police are typically tight-lipped during the course of an investigation. Nobody wants them to compromise their search for information, but over the past week officers have yet to address the issue of whether public safety should be a continuing concern in the wake of these incidents. Civic politicians, many of whom were not short of comments during their most recent election campaigns, have said even less. Other community leaders, including provincial and federal politicians and social service organizations, have also offered nothing – at least en masse – to the people they serve. No doubt they, too, are hampered by a shortage of information, but that should not be an impairment to following basic principles of leadership. Perhaps they don’t want to be seen to be voicing platitudes, but they are forgetting that it behooves true leaders to offer words of comfort at a time like this, and a reiteration of basic community values in a general sense. What are their reactions? What do they feel about such tragedies? What can they say to us to recognize – yet assuage – our fears and anxiety? We don’t know because, so far, they aren’t telling us. The people of the Semiahmoo Peninsula are listening.

These taxes – how they creep up! This burden we must carry! All to pay half a million bucks for a guy to run BC Ferries! A prime minister letting EI and CPP hikes flow, And all those payroll taxes causing good jobs to go; Reid and Kwan apologizing through gritted teeth, All because they got caught spending beyond belief; Governments and Crown CEOs, to the bar they belly Why must there always be bad tax news on my telly? They are chubby and plump, all of ’em jolly fat cats, And we sighed when we saw them, hiding wallets under hats; With a blink of their eye and a twist of their head Our taxes shoot up, in more ways than we can dread; A few bucks here, a few bucks there, that’s how they work, And we who oppose them, they deem insolent jerks, And again they come, laying their fingers into our pay packets, So it’s up to taxpayers to yell NO! Make a big racket! Send them to find efficiencies and keep blowing the whistle, Forcing ’em to save us the money by cutting the gristle. Still we hear them exclaim, ere they drove out of sight – “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a bigger tax bite!” Jordan Bateman is B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a federally incorporated, not-for-profit group promoting government accountability.

Surrey’s felt unsafe too long

live in, any time day or night? I say put down the champagne glass and get to work. Karen Burwash, Surrey

Editor: Re: Teen killed in altercation, Dec. 16. I live near Jessie Lee Elementary, and for the past several years, I have seen teenagers drink, smoke, yell, commit vandalism, break windows, light fires, ride motorcycles, and shoot fireworks at the school, among other things. My home has been victimized by theft, and I frequently phone the police, but the rampage continues unabated, with teenagers ruling the night with impunity. A week ago, I spoke with a police officer, and I again warned him about the out-of-control behaviour of teens; now a 15-year-old child is dead. So I ask politicians of every stripe: what are you going to do about the lack of safety in our community? Bob Burgel, Surrey Q An open letter to Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner. Another child dies tragically in the streets that you were elected to protect. Another victim of senseless, violent crime that shouldn’t have happened. Another group of family and friends’ lives forever damaged. So, Linda Hepner, newly appointed mayor of this city, I ask you, on behalf of these families, what are you doing about this? Since you were elected on Nov. 15, all I have seen you and your constituents do is celebrate, all on the taxpayers’ dime, I’m sure – hard-earned tax dollars that could have been put to better use, such as surveillance cameras and brighter lighting in our neighbourhood parks, more police patrols and better programs for our young kids. Were you just waiting for after the holidays to get to work on your ‘crime reduction strategy,’ which is an absolute joke, by the way? It seems to suggest graffiti is one of this city’s worst crime issues. Really? What about innocent people like Dario Bartoli and Julie Paskall being brutally killed in their own neighbourhoods? The strategy deals more with illegal dumping and shutting down “grow-ops” than it does with taking psychopaths and murderers off our streets. Sure, one can say these victims were just in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” but from where I see it, in a safe city there should be no “wrong place” or “wrong time.” People of Surrey, all citizens of this city, should be able to feel safe where they live. But we don’t. A hockey mom should be able to wait for her son outside a busy arena, and two teens should be able to walk a few blocks home from a party without worrying about being killed. We are justified in our anger. The streets of this city have felt unsafe for far too long. The city posted a record number of murders, 25, in 2013, and so far this year there have been 18 homicides – without fourth-quarter statistics being out yet. Dario’s murder bringing that to at least 19. So, Linda Hepner, are you going to do what your predecessor, Dianne Watts, failed to do? Make our streets and neighbourhoods safe to

Curfews need reconsideration Editor: A curfew is something I would never have approved of, being a parent in the ’80s through ’90s. Nor in the 1960s and ’70s, during my years of growing up here in Crescent Beach and White Rock as a youth – this with the exception, I suppose, of the FLQ crisis in 1970. Any permanent legislation as to a juvenile curfew would have been viewed by the majority – me included – as unacceptable. The vast body of parents expected their children to be at home at a reasonable hour. Any such negative behaviour would have been dealt with swiftly and the corrective action in most families more than adequate. However, for the many examples out there recently, I think law enforcement should be able to do what parents are failing largely in, and be able to arrest, detain and have the ministry responsible immediately involved. This requires a law that the province must enact making parents accountable for children in their care when police contact is involved. Enabling our law-enforcement agencies to do a functional job in taking our vulnerable minors off the street at a moment’s notice – after a particular hour and/or for good reason – might be a thought to seriously consider. I am sure that many police officers see our young people go from firstcontact to a gang life, with no tools in their tool box to make change or effectively make change. Police

officers must be extremely frustrated. The lack of sound tools for them to prevent further harm to youth in our community must be a challenge that more often than not is a losing game. The number of failing marriages and parents unable to parent is, I surmise, one of many leading causes. The Ministry of Children and Family Development is dated, very dysfunctional and ineffective. They share not enough information with law enforcement and family involved. I say create a provincial statute that enables law enforcement to engage an obvious minor and, if the circumstances warrant, take them off the streets, turning them over to a more effective ministry. It seems the government is willing to pursue impaired drivers under their current legislation and not the Criminal Code of Canada, but pay no attention to our young and vulnerable juvenile people. Our youth currently are being “bootlegged” by criminal elements, with the worst displays of negative social behavior yet to come, I suggest. Ron Eves, White Rock

A positive difference Editor: Breakfast Club of Canada is built on the dream that one day all Canadian children will have an equal chance to succeed by starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in a safe, supportive environment. We believe that, as a community, we must ensure all students have the right to thrive, learn, dream and grow to their full potential. Cummins Western Canada shares this belief and began a partnership with Breakfast Club of Canada in 2013. Through their generous

support and commitment to children, the club was able to launch two new breakfast programs at Holly Elementary in Surrey and École À la Découverte in Edmonton. CWC not only funds these programs, but their staff volunteer their time on a weekly basis and help with anything from preparation to serving to cleaning. Volunteers really are the heart and soul of the club. Across Canada there are over 11,500 dedicated people donating their time to help us brighten our children’s future. Surrey local Cindy Mervin is one of these people. Cindy is a busy dealer development co-ordinator. Her work and personal life keep her just as busy as anybody else, and it would be easy enough for her to say that she just doesn’t have the time to volunteer. Yet she does. Every Wednesday, Cindy volunteers her time at Holly Elementary’s breakfast program. From 7-9 a.m., she helps prep and feed more than 40 students a nourishing breakfast in a warm environment. But for Cindy, it’s not just about serving a nutritional breakfast. It’s about developing a strong connection with the kids and ensuring they know that she will be there week after week to catch up with them. Last year, CWC employees helped build a new playground for Hjorth Road Elementary, who heard about the CWC’s superheroes through Holly Elementary. And this Christmas, for the second year in a row, CWC’s will adopt families from Holly Elementary. Each adopted family will receive a delicious Christmas dinner with all the fixings, gifts, grocery gift cards and more. Breakfast Club of Canada programs – www.breakfastclubcanada.org – would not be possible without people like Cindy. Alexandra Presley, Breakfast Club

Neighbours of Bakerview Park in South Surrey felt the fallout from a windstorm that toppled four trees in October.

Not all trees able to stand alone Editor: One again thousands of people were cut off power as a result of scores of trees being blown over by this most recent storm (Wind damages, Dec. 16). Huge fir and cedar trees are suitable for forests, where they belong, and are totally out of place on the front lawns of most houses in Surrey and White Rock. That’s especially so when they’re planted right under power lines, a sure invitation to trouble when the once tiny tree starts to grow into its mature size as a forest giant.

Standing without the shelter of a forest, these trees are vulnerable in storms like the ones we have just experienced this last week. When they get blown over, hydro lines go down. And there’s often other damage. In view of these facts, I wonder if our outgoing mayor Dianne Watts would perhaps reconsider her recent, and rather odd, plea for more evergreens instead of trees more suitable in size to houses in our community (Watts’ last stand as mayor, Dec. 4).

Concern over new road-race days i from page 1 “We feel that what we should do is focus on the two races that we can do better than anybody else,” he said. Coun. Dave Chesney agreed with disposing of the hill climb, but did express concern about the change in dates. The move to Saturday – which he said is a busier day in the city than Sunday – could mean an increase in close calls with cars and riders. “We may have a very grave problem trying to control that traffic on a Saturday,” he said. Also recommended by Stepura was the establishment of a select

committee of council that would oversee the organization, marketing and fundraising of the Tour de White Rock. He noted that in Delta, for their Super Week events, a strong board of directors raises much of the necessary funds and handles the marketing aspect of the event. “It’s certainly a model we feel would be a right fit for White Rock,” he said. After the 2013 Tour de White Rock, Baldwin called on the city and business community to band together to help fund larger prize pools for future events, in order to attract competitors.

“It would appear that in order to keep people in the race, we’re going to have to have more prize money. A lot of (the cyclists) just said ‘to heck with it, it’s not worth it,’” he said at the time. The Tour de White Rock’s total prize pool is among the lowest on the Superweek slate. Last year, it was $20,000 for three events, compared to the Tour de Delta’s $25,000 purse for the same number of events. The Giro di Burnaby paid out $15,000 for just one race, while the Gastown Grand Prix’s prize money totals $50,000. “We’re certainly falling well behind,” Stepura confirmed.

He suffers from Parkinson’s disease and said last year he was handcuffed by officers who thought he was drunk while he was having an attack. After they called their superior, he said, they were laughing at him. Gill apologized on behalf of the Surrey RCMP and assured him the officers arriving next year will be fully trained. The Surrey RCMP complement will go from 703 to 803, providing the training facility in Regina can supply all 100 officers requested by Surrey. Mayor Linda Hepner took umbrage with Stromberg’s assessment that Surrey no longer Dr. Nicholas Perri, Dr. Monica Michel - Rancourt and Dr. George Francis has the lowest taxes in the region, and asked staff to clarify.

i from page 1 Staff outlined several changes to next year’s budget, the most prominent of which is the addition of a $100 recreation and culture levy to cover the cost of rec centres and parks construction. The levy became necessary to fund the hiring of 100 new police officers, which was a major part of the recent Surrey First election campaign. The coalition now holds all seats on Surrey council. Surrey is planning to keep the property tax increase to 2.9 per cent next year – or $46.20 for the average home worth $648,000. A one-per-cent road levy introduced in 2008 as a temporary five-year measure will continue for another 10 years, according to finance committee chair Coun. Tom Gill. The one-per-cent road levy amounts to a $15.93 increase for next year. In all, the taxes for the average Surrey home will be climbing from $1,593 this year to $1,755 next year. If the home has a secondary suite, as with Mahal, it’s going to get even more expensive. Surrey is raising the secondary suite fee by $116 to $526 per home – a 28-per-cent increase. The secondary-suite fee hike is explained by increasing costs associated with bylaws, the police force and fire services. Along with Mahal, other members of the public attending the

Teen’s service Saturday i from page 1 Autopsies were to be done on both victims to determine the cause of death, and while Pound confirmed the exam has been complete for Teagan Batstone, she said the results will not be released. She also confirmed that a second teen who was with Bartoli during Saturday’s attack was not injured. She directed questions with regard to community safety to Surrey RCMP. Cpl. Bert Paquet confirmed police have increased patrols in the area where the attack occurred, and continue to encourage residents to report any suspicious activities or people. Meanwhile, residents of the Semiahmoo Peninsula gathered last night (Wednesday) at White Rock Baptist Church – after Peace Arch News’ press

deadline – to remember Teagan Batstone. She and her mom had been attending the 1657 140 St. church for the past six years. Pastor Fay Puddicombe told PAN that the evening – with room for about 600 attendees – was to include a slideshow, shared memories and music. Some of Teagan’s toys were to also be on display. “The whole idea of the service is to honour Teagan and to celebrate her life, and to mourn her passing,” Puddicombe said. “Tonight is all about Teagan.” A public service for Bartoli is to take place at 2 p.m. Saturday at Peace Portal Alliance Church, 15128 27B Ave. Church officials said they have room for 1,200 people, and are expecting a large turnout.

Loyalty cards stolen Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock woman who says the theft of her purse has resulted in bogus credit-card applications and the fraudulent redemption of her loyalty-card points is warning Peninsula residents that those responsible are still at large. Kristin Adair, a plumber, told Peace Arch News her purse was stolen from her van in a daylight smash-and-grab around 2:30 p.m. Oct. 31 at Martin Street and Thrift Avenue. She acknowledged leaving her purse in the vehicle wasn’t ideal, but noted her job makes it difficult to bring it with her on calls. “What am I supposed to do, bring my purse in when I go in to fix some-

body’s toilet?” Const. Shaileshni Molison confirmed that the theft is “still actively being investigated.” While Adair said she has heard of similar incidents, Molison said police have not seen an unusual spike in vehicle break-ins or related identity theft. Adair said she was alerted to the redemption of her loyalty-card points when she got a call from Airmiles regarding an order of a big-screen TV and speakers. She also learned her gas-card points were redeemed for lottery tickets, and that at least one credit-card application was made in her name. I just think White Rock should know,” Adair said.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Registration needed by Dec. 22 for Community Christmas Day dinner

Welcoming a new face to the table Alex Browne

Staff Reporter

grand tradition will continue Dec. 25, as White Rock’s Community Christmas Day Dinner returns to the hall of First United Church. But there’ll be several new faces among welcomers – including First United’s new minister Rev. Louise Cumming, successor to Rev. Joan McMurtry, who retired in March. Cumming, who assumed her duties in August, said she’s delighted to continue the First United’s long-time tradition of hosting the donation-supported dinner. “It’s particularly fitting that the church opens its doors on Christmas Day,” she said. “It’s a wonderful tradition and a great way to share Christmas with all kinds of people.” While it’s open to anyone without other plans on Christmas Day, cut-off for registration this year is Monday (Dec. 22). And those who plan to attend have a new number to call this year – the church office at 604531-4850. Long-time organizer Chip Barrett said pre-registration is needed as soon as possible because the hall size is limited, rides (where necessary) need to be organized and Janet Kozakow, the new chef for the traditional turkey and trimmings feast, needs to know how many to expect for dinner. The annual event was created more than 30 years ago by former city gardener George Bryant and other like-minded volunteers – including former First United minister Rev. Howard Filsinger – as a symbol of good-fellowship to embrace those who were alone or lonely at Christmas time. Over the years it has evolved into one of the city’s finer

Louise Cumming (right) joins longtime White Rock Christmas Day Dinner organizer Chip Barrett in inviting the community to join the celebration. expressions of community – a warm, extended-family celebration bringing together volunteers and people of widely varying ages and circumstances. Cumming noted she is familiar with former Filsinger’s pioneer work in helping create community-building initiatives. “For a lot of people who attend First United, social awareness and

commitment is key to who they are as a congregation,” she said. “I also understand a lot of people who come here on Christmas Day come for our Thursday night community dinner – we don’t want to let our friends down.” Although she comes to the community after serving a congregation in West Kelowna for the past two years – and her

first assignment as a minister was in a community near Timmons, Ont. – Cumming isn’t a stranger to the Semiahmoo Peninsula. For some 10 years prior to her work in Kelowna, she served congregations nearby, in the two Langleys. Cumming said she feels very fortunate to have been assigned to First United.

“I still keep pinching myself – I can’t quite believe I’m living in this area,” she said. Cumming, who grew up in the Invermere area of the Kootenays, was first ordained as a minister close to 30 years ago. “It was a bit of a departure from what I had been doing before,” she said. “I had mostly been working with people with developmental disabilities – in fact, I’m still involved with a large community in Burnaby.” Cumming was inspired to become a minister after meeting Jean Vanier – the Canadian theologian and humanitarian who founded L’Arche, an international federation of communities for people with developmental disabilities – and by the principle of inclusivity. “It’s about paying attention to people on the margins of society; learning to listen and value people regardless of their status in society,” she said. As part of the Christmas Day celebration, Cumming said she’s also happy to continue a tradition started by McMurtry, contributing her own retelling of the Christmas story. All of the other usual features of the dinner will be in evidence, Barrett said – including the visit from Santa, a sing-along of favourite Christmas carols and the welcoming presence of the White Rock Youth Ambassadors to help seat guests. Although some of the “key people” in organizing the event have retired, it seems to come together serendipitously each Christmas, Barrett added. “But we will be keeping an eye peeled for people who’ll be happy to step up in future to ensure that the event continues.” First United Church is located at the corner of Centre Street and Buena Vista.

Staff Reporter

A six-year-old boy who raised some $10,000 for cancer research with his own violin concert will be the first recipient of the Young Lamplighter Award this Sunday (Dec. 21) at Semiahmoo Centre. The award, sponsored by the South Surreybased Centre for Judaism of the Lower Fraser Valley, will be presented to young Yosef Nider as part of the annual Hanukkah Menorah-lighting ceremony at the mall. The ceremony is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Semiahmoo Centre’s food court. Among confirmed attendees will be Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, White Rock Coun. Helen Fathers and Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt. Yosef – a Vancouver resident who performed his sold-out recital at the Hebrew Academy in February – was inspired to organize a ‘Concert for the Cure’ by the plight of his grandfather, Marvin, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013 (the elder Nider passed away later this year). Centre for Judaism co-director Simie Schtrocks said the award is a logical part of the idea of Hanukkah as a celebration of “the victory of light over dark.” “We want to get young people to be involved in creating light in the world, to look to do good acts, acts of kindness,” she said. “Yosef seemed to be the perfect candidate for the first award. He’s very young to have accomplished what he did, and that, and the fact that he did lose his grandfather… we wanted to recognize his accomplishment.”

Donations sought for Christmas

Bureau seeks holiday help

The Surrey Christmas bureau is scrambling to meet the growing need for holiday assistance in the city and is asking for help. Donations of new toys, grocery gift cards, gently-used toys, clothing and household items are needed. Located at 14885 108 Ave., volunteers at the bureau work to help registered low-income families with children during the holiday season. “The generosity of the donors from all over the Lower Mainland has been incredible,” co-ordinator K.C. Gilroy said in a news release. “Nearly 1,700 families have already been registered and all will receive some sort of help from us this year.” Registration is now closed for this year, but donations are still being accepted. Bureau hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information on how to donate, call 604-581-9623.

“Our aim is to provide a caring & comfortable dental experience for our patients.”

Thomson goes on to note that Seattle, as well as two countries – New Zealand and Australia – have minimum wages similar to the proposed $15/hour, and “those higher minimums enjoy widespread support.” He referred to the current minimum wage – which in B.C. is $10.25 – as “starvation wages.” – Nick Greenizan

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Babes in the Woods evokes shows of years past

Journey to panto’s golden age

ith all the chock-a-block talent on stage at this year’s White Rock Christmas pantomime, it takes an awfully special Demon to upstage the good guys. But Hunter Golden’s bad guy is clearly a crowd favourite, as the White Rock Players Club’s Babes in the Woods evokes Lance Peverley memories of the seaside city’s goldenage of pantomime, at least as this reviewer remembers it. Like one recalls the performances of Johnson and Hilliard et al from decades past, this year’s offering celebrates its community feel – a community that might be slightly rough around the edges, a little unpolished, perhaps… but an emotion-filled sense of togetherness nonetheless. First-time director (and Players Club stalwart) Lisa Pavilionis opens the show sure-footedly, keeping the introductions and dialogue moving swiftly well into the first act. Our heroes – particularly YooRa Kang as Jack and Mackenzie Claus as Jill – infuse their characters with enough personality and traits to keep us interested in the most basic of storylines: protecting Pip (Lional Rust) and Squeak (Emma Harvey) from the evil clutches of Golden’s Demon. Speaking of Golden – and if you see it, you shall – his pitch-perfect lyrical low register is enough to keep you listening to the Demon’s villainous shenanigans, even when he’s not mid-song. Magically complementing our foil is Fairy Twinkle (Katherine Ariel Lozada) who brings plenty of welcome attitude to an otherwise-saccharin pantomime mainstay. Returning as the Dame – this year in i see page 27

Sleeping Beauty hits stage at Surrey Arts Centre

Panto served up British-style Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

ust in time for Christmas, the third local panto of the holiday season rolls into Surrey Arts Centre this week with a bushel-load of traditional, family-friendly, British-style fun. The show is Ellie King’s Sleeping Beauty, presented by the Royal Canadian Theatre Company, and – after some 25 years of panto productions – everyone knows the Langleybased producer/author’s winning formula. Colourful, extravagant costumes, cheery songs, a magical retelling of a familiar fairy tale, silliness, puns, slapstick comedy and hiss-worthy bad guys are mandatory for the show, which runs Dec. 19-28. There’s a radiant, tuneful principal girl – White Rock resident Melissa Paras as Princess Rosebud – the ‘sleeping beauty’ of the title for at least some of the running time.

And – in the time-honoured fashion of all old-country pantos – there is also a brave principal ‘boy’ who just happens to look good in fishnet stockings (Andie Francis as Prince Indigo), and a ludicrous Dame (RCTC favourite Alan Cedargreen, once more donning drag as Rosebud’s nurse, Bizzie Lizzie). “Alan is his usual wonderful self,” RCTC founder and artistic director King said. “And Andie and Melissa have got youth and vigor and energy – they’re everybody’s perfect principal boy and girl.” Paras adds a nice touch of rebellious spirit as a princess “raised in cotton-wool” by overprotective parents, King said. But there is one big change to the show this year – for the first time, King has handed off directing chores (though, typically, she’s been busy as hands-on producer of the allin-the-family enterprise, up to and including

painting the sets). Fortunately, her choice for successor at the helm is her own son, James, a panto perennial known for finding his own ingenious, humourously twisted variations on the panto Demon each year. “I was a little trepidatious – it’s not easy handing it over,” King confessed. “But I’m very pleased with James’ direction. He still asks for my ‘eye’ on things, and it’s looking very good and playing very well.” Her own influence on Sleeping Beauty is still abundantly in evidence, of course. In addition to writing the script, King has collaborated with RCTC’s stalwart musical director, husband Geoff, on four original songs for the show: Any Little Dream (a romantic waltz), When I Am 18 (a wistful solo for Rosebud), Waiting For You (a ballad) and the self-explanatory Bad Guys’ Song. i see page 26

Sleeping Beauty runs until Dec. 28 i from page 25 In that vein, James’ new duties have enabled Stephen Elchesen to step out of his customary ‘Idle Jack’ shoes and into the juicy role of Demon Hemlock, joining his wife and fellow RCTC veteran, Kerri Norris (as the evil Fairy Nightshade) and Michael Widman (as henchman Igor) on the villainous end of the scale. Helping to counterbalance the evil is another Semiahmoo Peninsula player who’s become part of the RCTC, Erin Marshall, spreading sweetness and light – in her own distinctive way – as Fairy Snowdrop. “I think this is Erin’s third with us, and she’s been a great addition to the team,” King said.

Sleeping Beauty is also a two’boy’ panto, as King points out, giving RCTC regular Jackie Bruce ample scope to step out in the tights role of Prince Basil, while Brad Dewar provides kidfriendly laughs as the show’s ‘Idle Jack,’ Sweet William, and Lauren Trotzuk adds flair as Princess Rosebud’s best friend, Poppy. Adding to the fun, and in keeping with the pervasive floral theme (“except for Igor – I don’t know where he came from,” chuckled King) are monarchs Queen Floribunda (Susanne Delisimunovic) and King Grandiflora (Jeremy Glass), while Grandpa (John More) and Hogweed (Mark Manning) add a typically confused touch

to the merriment, along with a full complement of singing and dancing townspeople and courtiers. As if that were not enough, the show features a high-toned terpsichorean interlude to boost the cultural content, King promised. “It’s called the Dance of the Mucky Ducks, by the Ballet Nuisance,” she laughed. Sleeping Beauty runs until Dec. 28 at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.), with a two-forone preview on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. and matinees at 2:30 p.m. (There will also be a follow-up run Jan. 2-3 at the ACT in Maple Ridge.)

Panto entertains young audience i from page 25 the form of Mother Hubbard – is Bryce Mills, bawdily yet family-friendily (boo/hiss, that’s not a word!) keeping the audience and his panto team in on the action, while he/she learns to just, well… let it go. Indeed, this panto cast isn’t wanting for characters that inhabit “Novelrock.” Looking like a make-shift Storybrooke town meeting in TV’s Once Upon Time, each has his or her moment in the spotlight – from Dame Hubbard’s many children, to a little pig or three, to a cornersitting Jack, to the cutest little lamb you ever did see. In fact, unlike many chorusheavy productions, Babes director Pavilionis and her production team shine the light on every single performer, giving each a moment to comedically shine with at least a punchline or two, backed by effective costumes (Pat McClean) and makeup (Susanne de Pencier), and bright choreography (Michelle Reid) and set design (Andrea Olund). One of the simplest of characters, a sailor-suited Simon (Scott Townsend), returns again and again to give audience members a welcome smile – if not a smug sense of mental

While there are too many cast members to mention name by name, one unsung performer might not have made it to the stage, but she’s as valued a contributor as any. Pianist Shelley Eckstein did her part to keep up my remembrance of pantos long past, with enough flair and speed variations to set the ever-shifting mood. One slight quibble: the speaker volume should be monitored from front of house, as some in the unamplified cast can’t

compete with Eckstein’s rousing keyboard. More than a quibble: a slight speed bump was felt halfway into the first act in Mother Hubbard’s unorthodox classroom, but nothing the excision of a cheesy pun or three wouldn’t alleviate. And, finally, having the same premier public figure as the butt of not one, not two, but four gibes, seems stale, especially when our elected officials are kind enough to give us a veritable smorgasbord of perennially running targets. But such critiques would likely have rung true back in the ’50s, ’60s and certainly the ’70s, the wonderful years I first fell in love with a visit to White Rock’s magical Christmastime getaway. Judging from the receptive reaction of the younger ones in the three-quarters-filled theatre on opening night Dec. 5, there just might be a budding critic in the mix who will be reviewing this annual pageant in the decades to come. Produced by Fred Partridge and Gordon Mantle, Babes in the Woods runs until Dec. 27 at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. Tickets at 604-536-7535, www. whiterockplayers.ca

Tokyo organizers, for example, would love to see the inclusion of softball and baseball; the two sports are among the country’s most popular.

Timm said the eventual decision – one way or another – would not affect Surrey’s hosting of the 2016 Women’s World Fastpitch Championships, plans for which are humming along nicely, he said.

It helps everywhere – with sponsors, with funding, with potential television exposure. “We’re very excited about the possibilities.” The potential re-introduction of softball into the Olympics should also help boost interest in the sport among young people, Timm said. In 2005, the announcement that the two sports would be axed from future Olympics came in mid-July, as thousands of young softball players from around the world were playing at South Surrey’s Softball City in what was then the Canada Cup (now the Canadian Open).

Valley West preps for Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tournament

FLU SHOTS

Hawks split with Canadians Rick Kupchuk Sports Reporter

Following a 6-1 loss on home ice, and just 10 days away from their first game in Calgary at the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tournament, a weekend off is what the Valley West Hawks are looking forward to. The Hawks split a two-game series with the Vancouver Canadians last weekend, winning 6-4 Saturday in Richmond before a one-sided loss Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is actually a good time for a break,â&#x20AC;? said Valley West head coach Jessie Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With us going to Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, this is a small pocket for our players to get family time.â&#x20AC;?Â At 13-7-4 (won-lost-tied) this season, Valley West will go into the Christmas Break in fifth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League, as the two points from the two games last weekend ensures the Hawks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose ground when they enjoy a bye next weekend.

Valley West erased a twogoal deficit in the first period Saturday, then pulled away with a three-goal third period for the win. James Malm of Langley and White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis scored first-period goals for Valley West, tying the score 2-2 after 20 minutes. Barberis scored again in the first minute of the second period, and the Canadians replied just before the second intermission to knot the score 3-3. Barberis completed his hattrick midway through the third period, then after the Canadians tied the score 4-4, Christian Bosa of Langley netted the winning goal with nine minutes to play. Malm then scored into an empty net, with Barberis collecting his second assist and fifth point. Malm, Justin De Vos of Surrey, and Ben Evanish of White Rock each had a pair of assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we controlled the game from start to finish,â&#x20AC;? said

Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The few chances we gave up were Grade-A and they cashed in to keep it close. And I thought the ref did an exceptional job controlling the game.â&#x20AC;? Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game got out of hand at times, as the Hawks were assessed 107 penalty minuets to just 54 for the Canadians, which led to four powerplay goals for the Vancouver team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough to get any sort of rhythm in the game with all the penalties.â&#x20AC;? said Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of 10-minute misconducts were assessed, so you had players in the box for over 14 minutes at a time.â&#x20AC;? The Hawks coach suggested the players had to shoulder some of the blame for all the time spent in the penalty box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see our team be tougher psychologically,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what we saw was a frustrated team taking exception to cheap shots, and i see page 31

Aiming for 2020 i from page 29 heartbreaking” while a Renegades player at the time, Carly Moir, was among a handful of heartbroken Olympic hopefuls to call the move “a real shame.” Should softball get back into the Games, it will give young local ballplayers the chance to follow in the footsteps of former South Surrey Olympians like Auburn Sigurdson, Melanie Matthews and Danielle Lawrie. “We have some real talented athletes here who remain very involved with the national team – players like Sara Groenewegen. It would be my hope that they still have that Olympic flame burning in their hearts,” Timm said.

After taking next weekend off, the Hawks travel to Calgary for the 25-team Mac’s, which features the top Midget (15-17) teams from across Western Canada, as well as elite teams of 15-17 year-olds from Ontario, the United States and Europe. Valley West has been placed in a five-team group that includes the German U17 national team and “some very good” Alberta squads. “I’m expecting our team to play desperate hockey as this is a tournament where a single misstep can cost you a playoff spot,” said Leung, noting only eight teams will qualify for the playoffs. “Through it all, I hope this is a team building experience for us.”

Hoops event to wrap in 2015

Rivals series tips off

A South Surrey basketball tradition continued this week between Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo Secondary senior boys hoops teams – but won’t come to a conclusion for a few months, due to the sudden death of an EMS student last weekend. The two squads were set to play a home-andhome series this week as part of the third annual Rivals Week. (The Elgin Park Orcas have also been involved in Rivals Week, but declined to participate this year.) The two-game series was to begin Monday afternoon at Earl Marriott, with the second game slated for Wednesday at Semiahmoo. However, Monday’s game was cancelled in light of the apparent murder of 15-year-old EMS student Dario Bartoli last weekend. Bartoli – an avid skate boarder and BMXer – died after an attack in the early-morning hours of Dec. 13 in or near Bakerview Park. Hosting a game during school hours, in which raucous cheering is common, seemed inappropriate, said Semiahmoo coach Ed Lefurgy, who helped spearhead the Rivals Week concept three years ago, along with EMS coach Chris Finlay. “Sometimes, sports and these types of games can help with the healing process, but in this case, it was just too soon,” Lefurgy said. The other game of Rivals Week still went ahead as planned Wednesday afternoon at Semiahmoo, and a moment of silence was planned for Bartoli prior to tip-off. The game was played after Peace Arch News deadlines. The teams will have to wait a while for a rematch, however. Rather than try to fit an exhibition tilt into an already busy schedule, the teams will conclude Rivals Week in February, when they’re already scheduled to square off in league play. The winner receives the Rivals Cup, which has been in possession of Semiahmoo for the past two seasons. – Nick Greenizan

Gifts to take the stress out of winter driving Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures. Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives. Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that address winter driving problems. They’re as basic as scratch-proof snow and ice removal tool that’s easier on your car’s paintwork

to a compact and light-weight emergency traction aid that could be a life-saver. The Garant EVA Snowbrush has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback from customers about conventional snowbrushes and it’s sold in two sizes. The 28-inch brush retails for $15.99 and the 36inch brush retails for $19.99. Getting stuck in a friend’s snow-covered driveway can be embarrassing, getting stuck on the side of a lonely

highway is far more serious! The Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid ($39.99) is not a replacement for conventional chains, as it’s not intended for highway driving use. Easy to use and quick fitting, this traction aid is also far lighter and easier to store in a vehicle than tire chains. A truck version ($49.99) of the Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid is also available. Sold in pairs, a Trac Grabber is attached to each drive wheel, similar to a tire chain (but is much easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the

highway (where it should be removed). Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a brokendown vehicle. It also features a powerful lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Good vision when driving is very important in cold weather. If you have to park you’re vehicle outside

overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99). They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more down-road illumination than standard halogen lights. New wiper blades can also make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99. This premium

By Bob McHugh

dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades. If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peace-of-mind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-yearround. The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a

set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithium-ion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multi-functional. Offering 400 peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a sevenmode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock for other electronic devices. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Gifts for truck lovers Ian Harwood

One week left until Christmas, which sure came quickly. If you, like me, thought you still had lots of time to buy presents, then you can officially start to panic. In a bid to ease that terror, I have listed some new truck products that came out this year. Smittybuilt has many off-road items for under $50. R.U.T Utility tool is a foldable military style shovel that has a serrated edge and a double position neck. Storage bag included, $20.89. U.F.O is a safety light that is actually an emergency flare with visibility up to a mile with a built in flashlight. It is waterproof and comes with a lithium battery for $25.69. Have you ever hit the trail and done nothing but rub the dust away from your eyes? Trail goggles will come in handy, made from high impact material, three interchangeable lenses, antifog, anti-scratch and only $28.19. Rigid industries are the makers of popular LED off-road lights. Many new models have come out lately, including curved versions that work perfectly over the windshield. Sizes range from 20 inches all the way up to 54. Price ranges from $924 to $2,149. Is cold weather affecting your batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to hold a charge? CTEK has a battery charger kit that regulates how much power it gives to the battery and automatically slows down when fully charged. For people having difficulty climbing in and out of their truck, power boards that open automatically when the door is opened would be a much-appreciated gift.

LABINSKY, Bobby Aug 16, 1936 - Oct 24, 2014 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loved one, Bobby (Robert) Walter Labinsky, who died peacefully at the age of 78. He was predeceased by his parents Leo (1991) and Phyllis Labinsky (1977), his loving partner of over 50 years, Lee (2012), his sister Cleo (2001) and brother-in-law Bob Shrum (2011). He will be sadly missed by brothers Gordon (Verna), Wayne (Winnie) and Reg (Sharon) and their respective families, children Mona-Lee Dennetiere-Labinsky (in France) with grandchildren Orane & Eva; Anneke Labinsky (Eddie De Beule) (in the Netherlands) with grandchildren Leanne & Robin; Albert Labinsky (Catrien Stevens) (in the Netherlands) with grandchildren Bo & Flow, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, one aunt, and countless friends and neighbours in Canada and the United States. Bobby spent his 40-50 career years as a Longshoreman in New Westminster, BC and at Robert’s Bank Shipping Terminal where his dedication and hard work earned him the respect of many colleagues. He was an avid golfer who travelled extensively and visited many countries - some as far away as New Zealand -enjoying his ‘game’; he was also a long-time member of the Peace Arch Golf Club. Bobby resided in Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby, and White Rock, BC, and also basked in the sun during winders in San Diego, CA and in Sun City West, Arizona for years as a ‘snowbird’. Bobby grew up on a small 14 acre farm in Surrey, BC after WWII where he helped his parents with a vegetable and berry garden as the eldest boy in a family of 5 children. He attended 2 high schools in New Westminster and graduated in 1956. After a brief time working at Woodward’s Department Store, he entered the longshoring sector. Bobby enjoyed a good time, was very social, and loved to entertain. He will be remembered fondly by those close to him. As per Bobby’s wishes his remains will be cremated a there will be no memorial service.

June 16, 1918 December 1, 2014 Bette was born in Broadview., “’Saskatchewan, third in a family of six to Frederick and Bessie Archer (Wyatt), who were children of early pioneers from England. Bette went home to be with Jesus, her Lord and Saviour, on Dec. 1. 2014 at Westminster House, Surrey, BC. Bette led an extraordinary life filled with both challenges and real achievement. As a twelve year old, when her Dad passed, she became a leader in the home with mother and three younger children on the farm. She met her first husband, Clarence Brandt, while attending Alberta Baptist Bible Academy. They were married April 14,1938. Clarence and Bette shared a real love affair, working on farms in Wetaskiwin for twelve years, then moving to Edmonton where they both had business careers before retiring to White Rock, BC in 1973. Bette continued to work part time in White Rock. Bette cared for Clarence until his passing September 13, 1975. On February 17, 1979 she was warmly welcomed into the Enarson family, marrying Ernest Enarson. They had many happy memories and travels until his passing January 9, 2006. Bette was truly the warmest of friends, a beloved sister, aunt, stepmother, grandmother, great grandmother. Her home was always warm and welcoming to all her family and friends. She had a listening ear and could offer words of wisdom or sage advice. She also had a wonderful sense of humour. Bette had a deep faith in Jesus and participated as a reciter of Scripture at many functions. The Christmas and Easter Scriptures were her favourite. She recited and spoke in Edmonton and White Rock with Pastor Albert Josephson every Christmas for thirty years. She is survived by her brother Horace (Dorothy), Ernie’s sons Robert (Cathy), Bruce (Wendy), Grandchildren James (Trish) Enarson, Carolynne (Ken) Miller, Heather (Kirby) Schmidt-Teigen, Laura (Jared) Hess.
