Stories profiled online to inspire others to make difference
Surrey youth honoured for global view Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
Surrey youth dedicated to making a difference both locally and on a global scale are being recognized by the BC Council for International Cooperation for their efforts. Krissi Bucholtz, Simon Child Vélez and Semiahmoo Secondary’s InterAct Club are all being profiled on the council’s website in celebration of International Development Week Feb. 6-12. “The purpose is to recognize the work, the

energy and the ideas that youth are bringing to their communities here in Canada, as
well as overseas, in order to make change,” BCCIC program officer Lynn Slobogian told Peace Arch News Thursday. Bucholtz, 20, is being lauded for her work as executive director for the People’s Foundation for Sierra Leone, an organization she co-founded two years ago to provide at-risk youth from the west African country with an opportunity to attend university. The Fraser Valley Christian High School grad first connected with the youth there after visiting as a student teacher during a 2008 school trip.
“I just got really inspired and motivated by working with the kids for a month, so I kind of figured that I wanted to follow an international development path with my work.” Bucholtz attended the Global Stewardship program at Capilano University, and returned to Sierra Leone for five months, and was joined by friend Katie Jenkins. “We had an idea of starting our own project,” Bucholtz said, noting the average salary in Sierra Leone is $200 a month. � see page 4
No charges in incident
Shot fired as police approach residence Tracy Holmes & Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter/Black Press
Dozens of officers swarmed the 19800-block of 8 Avenue Wednesday morning, after Surrey police reported gunfire at a south Langley property. One man was arrested in connection with the incident, but police announced the next day no charges would be laid. The call came in at 8:45 a.m. Feb. 2, as two officers arrived to conduct an interview for a Surrey property-crime investigation, Cpl. Drew Grainger said. “Two of our property-crime members, both in plain clothes, had attended to that address,” Grainger said. “They were doing follow-up in regards to some stolen property, and they wanted to speak to a resident at that property.” Specifics as to exactly where the officers were on the property when they heard the shot have not been released. However, police said Thursday investigation determined a man apparently believed the officers were strangers and was trying to warn them away when he

If Surrey First Education trustees are content to have her continue to chair the board after the election (assuming most incumbents are re-elected), the next board will function smoothly. In the meantime, the board needs to continue to push MLAs to work much harder on behalf of Surrey students, and ensure there are enough classrooms in the rapidly growing district. Surrey First has avoided political infighting due to the fact that there is minimal party structure. For the most part, it is an alignment of individuals who combine their forces to run for office. Such an approach is crucial in Surrey because of its size and the difficulties of campaigning city-wide. The new Surrey First Education group consists of Larsen, Allen and longtime trustees Shawn Wilson, Reni Masi and Pam Glass. All three were at one time part of Surrey Electors Team (SET), and Masi is both a former Liberal MLA and Surrey principal. Its formation puts enormous pressure on SCC, and how it responds to the twin Surrey First groups will be interesting to observe. My guess at this early stage is that SCC will run full slates in opposition to the two Surrey First groups, but will have limited success – given Watts’ popularity and the lack of controversies at both council and the Board of Education.

‘Top employers’ cited as great places to work
City, university, Fraser Health make grade Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The City of Surrey has been named one of the province’s top employers for the seventh year in a row, while Kwantlen Polytechnic University has won the honour for the fifth consecutive year and Fraser Health has made the list for a second year running. MediaCorp Canada annually recognizes B.C.’s best places to work. The organization reviews the recruitment histories of more than 75,000 employers throughout Canada and evaluates physical
workplace, atmosphere and social health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and community involvement. Mayor Dianne Watts said the award is a reflection on the outstanding employees with the city. “They have created an innovative, progressive and friendly work environment that encourages individual success and allows us to attract and retain high-quality employees,” she said.
Kwantlen president David Atkinson said he’s proud of the accomplishment. “We are immensely gratified that Kwantlen has once again been recognized as one of B.C.’s Top Employers,” Atkinson said. “Our change from a university college to a university results from the hard work of all those who work at Kwantlen, and who make it the special place it is.” Dr. Nigel Murray, president and CEO of Fraser Health, said the organization is honoured to be recognized for another year. “Our leaders, working with their teams,
are committed to creating great workplaces where people want to contribute because we support their well-being and engage the employees, physicians and volunteers who provide the care to our patients, residents and clients,” he said. “I am delighted... as this honour confirms, once again, that there are great workplaces across our organization.” Now entering its seventh year, B.C.’s Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.

Layoffs at meat plant

White Rock Christian Academy Grade 7 students Greg Eriksen (top) and Sam Nelson, both 12, demonstrate how X-rays can be used to follow the flow of water in plants, during an all-grades science fair held at the South Surrey school Wednesday. Other projects explored everything from robotics to harnessing the sun’s energy to cook food.
More than 150 employees at a Cloverdale meat plant have been told they will be out of a job in eight months. Maple Leaf Foods Inc. announced Tuesday it will close its preparedmeat plant, at 55 B Avenue and 176 Street, on Sept. 30. The facility produces a variety of prepared-meat products, primarily for retail and food-service customers in Western Canada. Operations will begin to wind down in May, with production to be consolidated at Maple Leaf ’s facilities in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. The move is anticipated to reduce costs and improve efficiency, Maple Leaf ’s executive vice-president of consumer foods, Rick Young, said. “While necessary, we regret the impact on our skilled and dedicated employees. We will… support their transition to new employment.” Affected employees are to receive severance packages, according to a news release, and will be encouraged to seek employment at other Maple Leaf facilities. Closure costs are anticipated at about $12.1 million before tax. - Kevin Diakiw
10,000 join BC Liberal party in four city ridings
Surrey signups raise eyebrows in Abbott camp Jeff Nagel Black Press
A huge influx of newly minted BC Liberals in Surrey has raised suspicions that urban elements in the party may yet scuttle a plan to switch to a new weighted voting system designed to be more fair to rural regions. Shuswap MLA George Abbott admits his leadership campaign will be in jeopardy if the proposed reform is defeated at a special vote Feb. 12. “The prospects of my election, I think, would be diminished if the new system is not adopted,” he said. Instead, the one-member-one-vote system would remain in place and the votes of tens of thousands of new members recruited mainly by rivals Kevin Falcon, Mike de Jong and Christy Clark may be decisive in electing the new leader Feb. 26. Abbott said he understands the party membership has more than doubled to 84,000 so far and while his campaign has signed up
some, it’s “nothing in comparison” to the numbers being recruited by the other contenders. At least 10,000 have been signed up in just four Surrey ridings. “I was quite staggered,” he said of the soaring membership tally. “We are certainly trying to follow the growth in the numbers to understand what is going on.” All candidates have pledged their support of the weighted vote system, which ensures sparsely populated rural ridings have an equal say with urban ones. But there is discontent about it among some in the party. Former Surrey MLA Dr. Gulzar Cheema says the change is unfair to urban ridings that sign up lots of new Liberals, because their votes will be watered down by the points system that ensures equal weight is given to just a few dozen members in a rural riding. The reform of the party constitution requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
“I’ve heard from some people who if the weighted vote system goes have suggested there will be a very through.” small amount of opposition to the Schreck also questioned how many new memberships will arrive today changes,” Abbott said. “But I just don’t know.” (Friday), the cutoff date, which Political analyst David Schreck leaves just three weeks for Liberal said he doesn’t believe the urban officials to verify new members. Kwantlen Polytechnic University candidates or their lieutenants are political scientist Shinder Purewal sincere about supporting the voting reform. said he’s also heard speculation the “It appears between a quarter and George Abbott reform of the party constitution candidate may fail. a third of all new membership signups for the Liberals are in Surrey,” Abbott would stand no chance of he said. “You’ve got to ask yourself: if you’ve winning in that scenario, he said. worked to sign up 10,000 new members in “It won’t surprise me if one third of the Surrey, would you support a weighted vot- members come from Surrey ridings,” he said.

Organizers hope to inspire youth � from page 1 “There’s no way these kids can afford to go beyond high school. I basically wanted to start a project that would give them that opportunity, but instead of just giving them handouts, starting a project that would empower them and enable them to take (action) in their own lives.” The duo has already sent four youth to university through their efforts, and are now working to raise another $10,000. Bucholtz is to return to the country in May and use the money to renew the four current scholarships for another year, as well as send another four students to university. Bucholtz – who plans to teach and run the organization in Sierra Leone after gaining her education degree – said she felt humbled and excited for the project to be highlighted by the BCCIC. “It’s interesting for me because it’s not about me being recognized for the work, but it’s about the work getting out there because now more people know about the need in Sierra Leone,” she said. “It’s a chance to represent all the incredible youth I

work with.” Bucholtz is profiled alongside Semiahmoo Secondary Grade 12 student Child Vélez, director of the Africa Canada Accountability Coalition, a research and advocacy group based at UBC. He researches Canada’s relationship with the Great Lakes region of Africa, and makes that research accessible through the Internet and social media, as a basis for advocacy campaigns and policies. “I believe that you are responsible for what you know,” Child Vélez said in a prepared statement. “Once you’re no longer ignorant, you need to advocate with your government to do more to alleviate suffering in the world.” Semiahmoo’s InterAct Club mounts successful campaigns to alleviate injustices both in the community and internationally through work with ACCES Kenya and the local food bank. The club is being represented by its president, 17-year-old Fara Shah, featured last October in Peace Arch News after earning the B.C. Youth Gandhi Award. “Essentially, as the youth and the future of our global society,
we have taken the responsibility of improving issues that matter to us,” Shah said as representative. The public is invited to hear more about the youth’s efforts at www.bccic.ca, where visitors can watch video, read and listen to a podcast. The profiles will be available until Feb. 18, and are part of a national campaign supported by the Canadian International Development Agency, called I Am Making A Difference. The BCCIC received nominations for the initiative, and a jury made up of youths recognized last year chose eight people 30 and younger to highlight. “The idea is to share their stories hopefully to inspire others to also make changes in their communities, to inspire others to know they can make a difference – it doesn’t matter how old they are or where they live,” Slobogian said. “For myself, I’ve found it very inspiring and energizing to learn about their work, to hear about how they approach making a change. “They tell their stories really powerfully. It’s been excellent getting to know them.”

New chamber director sought The search is on for a new leader for the South Surrey/White Rock Chamber of Commerce. Executive director Doug Hart has told colleagues he plans to retire at the end of March, chamber president Jay Fettinger confirmed Wednesday. Hart has been at the chamber’s helm for four years. “He’s decided he just wants to move on to other things,” chamber administrator Linda Padvaiskas said. “Just a simple retirement.” Hart, a White Rock resident, replaced Jim Dyson as the chamber’s executive director in March 2007. Hart said at the time he wanted to “make our area the best place to live, work and prosper in the Lower Mainland.” Hart is out of town and not available to comment this week, however, Fettinger said Hart has been “a real good asset to the

organization.” “He’s helped achieve a lot of initiatives that the board has set forth,” Fettinger said. He cited the chamber’s move “back to
a more professional setting” and negotiations for a fee-for-service contract with the City of White Rock as among highlights of Hart’s tenure. Hart was also integral in a development of a strategic plan for the chamber; a document that brought into focus initiatives the chamber wanted to pursue. Prior to his role here, Hart served as executive director of the Delta Chamber of Commerce and was vice-president of Vancouver-based Seaboard Life Insurance Company. As well, he served on the Burns Bog Conservation Society board. Fettinger said there has been “quite a bit” of interest in the executive director position. Someone with extensive knowledge of the local community is preferred, he said, however, “we’re not ruling out any other candidates.” - Tracy Holmes

The ADDED Touch
White Rock moves to re-establish BIA White Rock council has given first, second and third readings to a bylaw re-establishing the city’s Business Improvement Area for five years. Following a delegation Jan. 24 by Business Improvement Association representative Ginny Harrison, council gave unanimous support to moving the bylaw forward. The issue has been a contentious one in the past, with infighting leading two groups to claim control – a fight that went to B.C. Supreme Court and ended last year with an order that a new board be elected. In light of the strife, council last year
opted to renew the BIA for just one year, with a lengthier renewal this year dependent on the organization’s demonstrated effectiveness. Harrison told council that BIA members voted to renew the organization for five years at the annual general meeting last month, proposing an annual levy of $300,000 for the first three years and a two per cent increase in the fourth and fifth years – subject to city approval. Harrison said the plan is to focus on revitalization, events and working with the city on programs and initiatives including
graffiti removal and the ongoing business needs assessment. Property owners opposed to the program have until 4:30 p.m. March 7 to submit a petition to the city; the petition must be signed by owners of at least 50 per cent of the land parcels that would be affected, and represent at least 50 per cent of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the tax. If there is no counter petition, the bylaw will come before council for final consideration and adoption March 21. – Tracy Holmes

No lights, no sirens when pedestrian hit Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A Surrey police officer whose cruiser struck and killed an 18-tearold pedestrian Monday night was not dispatched to a call and did not have the vehicle’s lights or siren on at the time, police say. As a general rule, police officers are normally supposed to use lights or a siren whenever they are breaking the rules of the road, such as speeding, stopping in traffic or affecting a U-turn. Sometimes they are not used when the officer doesn’t want suspects to know police are on the way. Abbotsford police are still trying to determine the speed of the Surrey officer’s car at the time of the accident and whether he was responding to a call even though he was not dispatched to it. The cruiser was heading southbound on King George Boulevard about 9:40
p.m. Monday when it struck and killed an 18-year-old woman who was crossing at an unmarked area of the road. The woman was taken to hospital, but died en route. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said all the pre-collision actions of the woman and officer are currently being investigated. MacDonald said the officer had not been dispatched to a call. “But as far as his actual status, his radio communications... if he indicated he was en route to something, we will have to determine that by dumping all of the data from all of those pieces of equipment in the car,” MacDonald said. The woman who was killed was not at an intersection or a marked crosswalk, MacDonald confirmed. Police are not yet releasing her name, but say she was not known to police.

The empty shell, which is used for exterior shots only, has been stored in segments since it was last on the site in 2009. Filming at the South Surrey location, at 28 Avenue and 188 Street, is expected to take place starting in late-February. Other locations for the films, which are being shot back-to back by director Bill Condon, include Brazil and Louisiana.

Shock over sled dogs goes much deeper
T
he shocking story of 100 sled dogs being shot execution-style after the Olympic Games in Whistler last year is attracting worldwide attention. Indeed, this was an outrageously reprehensible act, particularly since it appears it was economically motivated. The bottom had dropped out of the tourist dog-sledding business after the Games. Yet as appalling as this case is, people should find the following information even more shocking. In 2009, the BCSPCA conducted 5,870 cruelty investigations; removed 1,332 animals from dangerous or neglectful situations, and rescued an additional 3,443 injured animals; executed 133 warrants; and submitted 62 charges of animal cruelty and neglect to Crown. The amount of government funding the BCSPCA received to undertake this crucial work, which comprised $2 million of the organization’s $25-million budget? Not a cent. The BCSPCA is the only animal welfare agency in the province authorized to conduct animal cruelty investigations, and is officially responsible for protecting and rescuing animals. It does so almost entirely via charity – public and private donations. That tells you the importance successive governments have placed upon animal welfare. It doesn’t warrant a sorry penny. Animal cruelty laws in B.C. were strengthened in 2008, yet penalties remain light, with a maximum fine of $5,000. That’s if Crown takes the case at all. Only about 50 per cent of charges submitted are approved. Hopefully, justice will be brought to bear against the perpetrator of the sled dog slaughter. But more importantly, we hope this case will bring public and political attention and anger upon the government’s neglect of the BCSPCA. The greatest good to come from all of this would be consistent, adequate funding of the organization responsible for animal welfare, further toughening of cruelty laws, and more legislation reform to make prosecution and conviction easier. That would be a worthy legacy for those 100 dogs.

Police officers are trained to react to chaotic situations. They should have their feelings in tight control. True enough, except the people inside those uniforms are still human – they’re not robots. Some are better than others at bottling up the stress. Some have been doing it so well for so long, when a crack opens, the bottle breaks. Some perhaps, should not be in policing at all, or any longer. They are the ones who arrived with an acidic us-versusthem attitude, or they developed it along the way. It can be hard not to. The job is often miserly with its rewarding moments – the sincerely expressed gratitude from a citizen; the interaction with excited, earnest kids; the slam-dunk court case; the feeling that indeed, you’ve made the world a better place. That lopsided equation is sometimes a path to frustration and isolation. You’ve seen cops sitting together during coffee breaks and meals. Policing is a tightly bound community. It offers internal support and understanding, because often, the community being served is short on both. And yet, I’ll suggest that good officers – which is the vast majority – are just as disturbed as the public by these incidents, and perhaps in a way, even more. Does that justify or mitigate excessive force by police? No. Does it make you think a little deeper into, “What were they thinking?” Hopefully so.

A speedy solution Editor: Re: Crash victim had no chance: RCMP, Jan. 26. How many have to die? There seems to be more and more trucks on the road these days. Ideally, they would have their own specific routes where cars would not be in the mix. I have witnessed many aggressive and speeding trucks on Highway 99. Oftentimes, their driving leaves little room for error. I suggest the B.C. government follow the example of our friends in Washington State and make the speed limit for trucks 10 km/h slower. It seems the sensible thing to do and wouldn’t cost a whole lot to implement. Pat Donnelly, White Rock
Photo fallout continues Editor: Re: Politics mires city business, Jan. 21. In response to the letters from M.A. Collings and Mary Mikelson: your attitudes to the situation regarding the mayor, council and city staffer are manifestations of why this mix-up happened in the first place – a lack of attention. The pictures were not “relegated to the storage bin.” They were being refurbished, as many news stories have indicated. Ms. Mikelson, your comment that we should say “good riddance” to the staffer who left because “the mayor dared to criticize her work” is uninformed, and certainly doesn’t indicate that you’ve carefully read the news reports on this story. Her resignation had nothing to do with someone criticizing her work – it had to do with council making her into a scapegoat for a simple misunderstanding. No staffer should feel compelled to resign because of an unhealthy work atmosphere. Julian Phillips, Surrey ■ The good news in this debacle, is the council’s tactics were brought to light as opposed to their original plan of behind closed doors. The community has a right to know when their city council is preoccupied with sabotaging the mayor to the point where she has to hire a lawyer to defend herself. Unconscionable. Where is that eject button? Marilyn Pearson, Surrey

Be aggressive, not afraid Editor: Re: Raccoon city looming, Jan. 26. The letter by Shukrieh R. Merlet reminded me of a confrontation I had with raccoons recently at my last place on Royal Avenue. Having two cats, I pay attention to raccoons, as they have been known to kill pets. One night, my cats started acting strangely, so I went outside and found myself face to face with a raccoon. It had come into my yard through a break in my fence. I frightened it off, and I thought that was the end of it. Not. A while later, the raccoon was back, and this time had a very big male with it who was not afraid of me. I slipped back into the house and grabbed a baseball bat that I keep handy and quietly went to the side garage door. Taking a big breath, I came rushing out baseball bat in hand and a loud roar. I never hit it – as I would never do something like that, unless it actually attacked me – but believe you me, I scared the @#*@# out of it. They spread the word and I never had a raccoon drop by again. You absolutely have to show these animals who’s boss. But you better have a weapon handy, because they really are aggressive and, unless the threat truly is serious, they’ll ignore you, or worse, possibly attack you or your pets. But really, folks, we’re a lot bigger, and a lot smarter than they are. Don’t be afraid. Be aggressive. They’re not used to that! And they’re smart enough to remember and get the word out not to bother your place any more. Doug E. Lachance, White Rock

Rather than pay for a hospital parking lot that sits empty, Roger Currie says funds should have gone to health care.
Lots of ways to spend our money Editor: Find attached a photograph of a large parking lot which has been built north of Peace Arch District Hospital on the corner of 156 Street and 17 Avenue. Notice that the parking lot is empty. It is always empty. When people are on waiting lists up to a year and beyond for surgery, why has Fraser Health spent a large amount of money to build this parking lot? My estimate of the cost of the parking lot is somewhere around $2 million. Two million dollars!
There were, if I remember correctly, three houses located along 156 Street and a small school building along 17 Avenue. Four regular sized lots. I speculate that each of these lots were sold for, at least, $450,000, or a total of $1.8 million. I speculate that the cost of developing the parking lot was around $200,000. A total of $2 million for a parking lot that is empty. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to spend this kind of money to assist people who need medical attention rather than on a parking lot?

After two decades of working and playing on the Peninsula, Michael Levy is moving on. The South Surrey home where he has watched his children grow up, business develop and career expand is being packed up this week as he prepares to relocate to Vancouver. “I’ve really quite enjoyed my time out here but it’s time for a change,” Levy – a well-known financial analyst and radio personality – told Peace Arch News Wednesday. “This is not a community for an active single parent with no kids at home.” But the father of six adult children hasn’t cut all of his ties to the community – he still owns half of White Rock’s Border Gold, which he started with his late wife, Carol, more than 15 years ago.

Injured British military officers on tour of Surrey
Battling back Rick Kupchuk
W Black Press
hen Cpl. Georgina Windrass of the British Army first saw the small sleds and mini sticks at the rink of the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex, she was taken aback. Windrass admitted, just before heading onto the ice, that she’d never heard of sledge hockey. But after a brief instruction session, she and a group of her military colleagues were soon caught up in the excitement of the winter sport. “It’s been an absolute ball,” said Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer Steve Brown, taking a break from the game, a smile on his face. “We’re having such a good time, and we’ve been so welcomed. It’s been brilliant, we don’t want to go home.” The British group – comprised of seven soldiers injured in combat, training or accidents who sustained permanent disabilities, along with three staff members – was in the Lower Mainland for the past 10 days as part of a rehabilitation program called Battle Back. The program, run by the ministry of defence in Great Britain, encourages participation in sports to help injured military personnel re-integrate into everyday life. “It’s not about what you can’t do, it’s what you can do,” said Maj. Dougie Peter, commanding officer of the Battle Back program, during the group’s sledge hockey session Sunday afternoon. “It’s about realizing that there are still things they can do. Giving them the opportunity to expose them to this makes them realize what’s available to them.” The program is new, launched in 2008 by the British military. But the concept, said Peters, is not. “It began happening more than 60 years ago,” he said. “A suggestion during World War II was that service personnel with spinal cord injuries would benefit from sports such as horseback riding. So using sports isn’t a new concept.” But taking it to the level of Battle Back
might be. The group’s 10-day stay included four days in Whistler for (cross-country) Nordic skiing and biathlon, and another day of alpine skiing, as well as some snowmobiling and dog sledding. And while sledge hockey was to be their last stop, the group managed to arrange a last-minute game of wheelchair curling Tuesday afternoon before departing for home. Their trip was co-ordinated by Sian Blyth, founder of You Can Event Management in Vancouver, and British counterpart Larnie Meeking, a life skills coach specializing in assisting people with disabilities. “We got together, and brain-stormed a bit, and put together this winter sport experience,” said Blyth. The British contingent already had some ideas, some of them having been here a year ago to watch the Paralympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler.
To the participants, their stay on the south coast of British Columbia was one they won’t soon forget, and eagerly want to experience again. “It was amazing... brilliant,” said Windrass of the winter activities. It was her first time cross-country skiing. The group was amazed at the skill level needed for sledge hockey. But soldiers are competitive by nature, and eager to learn. And while they had difficulty matching the speed of their Canadian counterparts, and their puck handling was lacking, their determination and competitive spirit was demonstrated through several collisions with opponents and teammates. “It’s a thrill, there’s the rush of adrenaline,” said Brown. “And the speed of the game...

The business promotion scheme is proposed to be undertaken by the White Rock Business Improvement Association and is intended to develop and undertake projects and initiatives to encourage business and commerce in the “Area”. The above noted business promotion scheme will be designed to benefit the “Area” and the estimated Council grant toward the business promotion scheme will be: In 2011, a sum not to exceed $300,000; In 2012, a sum not to exceed $300,000; In 2013, a sum not to exceed $300,000; In 2014, a sum not to exceed $306,000; In 2015, a sum not to exceed $312,120 In 2010, the annual cost charged to property owners within the “Area” was $1.52174 per $1,000 of assessed value on both land and improvements in assessment Class 06 (Business and Other). Under the terms of the proposed new bylaw, this rate will be set based on the approved amount of the Council Grant and assessed property values. 100% of this Council Grant for this Business Improvement Area Service (paid by the City to the White Rock Business Improvement Association) will be borne by the property owners in the “Area” as a property value tax on land and improvements on Class 06 properties. This tax will be imposed for a period of five years, from April, 2011 to March 31, 2015. The establishment of the Business Improvement Area is proposed to be implemented on Council’s initiative. Unless by March 7, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the property value tax submit a sufficient petition to the City Clerk that Council not proceed with the program, the Business Improvement Area Service will be undertaken by White Rock City Council and the new bylaw will be adopted. In order for the petition to be sufficient and valid: • the petition must be signed by the owners of at least 50% of the parcels that would be subject to the property value tax (outlined in Schedule A of proposed Bylaw 1931), AND • the persons signing must be the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the property value tax. Persons desiring to petition against the Business Improvement Area Service proposed by “White Rock Business Improvement Area Bylaw, 2011, No. 1931” must do so by submitting a petition. The final date for the acceptance of petitions by the City Clerk will be Monday, March 7, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. If you wish to submit a petition or if you have any questions regarding the proposed bylaw, please contact the City Clerk’s office at City Hall, 15322 Buena Vista Avenue, White Rock BC, V4B 1Y6, Phone: 604.541.2212 / 604.541.2129 or e-mail tarthur@city.whiterock.bc.ca noting Bylaw No. 1931 in the subject line.

Biologist to speak A man who has studied the wildlife of Russia’s Wrangel Island Nature Reserve for 29 summers is to share his love of the land and its creatures next week during White Rock & Surrey Naturalists’ general meeting. Russian biologist Vasiliy Baranyuk will be at Sunnyside Hall, 1845 154 St., Feb. 10. The meeting gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Baranyuk, also a photographer, specializes in the study of Wrangel Island’s unique population
of snow geese. The waterfowl nest in an interior mountain valley and the pre-flight goslings walk 120 miles from their nests to the sea. Wrangel Island – designated a World Heritage site in 2004 – is 2,900 square-miles of Arctic wilderness, with the highest density of polar bears and twice as many plants as any other areas of Arctic tundra. The event will include video and photographs from his studies. Everyone is welcome.

A mom offers studio time for children in life-altering situations
Capturing special moments Boaz Joseph Black Press
A toddler’s life is busy these days, what with blocks that need to be rearranged and everyday objects that must be transformed into telephones and put up to the ear and talked to, just like mom’s BlackBerry. Madelyn, this particular toddler, giggles in her mother Tina Snel’s arms as she’s picked up – even though TV’s Elmo has just been interrupted. Madelyn’s playful smile beams as Tina fiddles with Madelyn’s pink top, lifting it to reveal a long scar across her chest. At 18 months old, Madelyn weighs 18 pounds, several short of normal weight for a girl her age. Madelyn has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a rare and life-threatening congenital heart defect. “The left side of the heart didn’t develop properly, so instead of having four heart chambers, she only has one,” says her mom, who lives with her three kids in North Surrey. Madelyn has had two surgeries already, and a third will take place when she’s three or four; a heart transplant might be needed when Madelyn is in her teens. Cognitively, she’s like other kids her age, but a stressed heart and lots of hospital visits mean that Madelyn will likely always be physically behind her peers. One of her best friends is nineyear-old autistic brother Dayton. “Dayton is amazing with her, it’s like they have this connection and special bond. Every time she sees him, it’s like, ‘Hiiiiii, Daaaaay!’” They also play together – Dayton is particularly fond of Thomas the Tank Engine – and, as happened a few weeks ago, the siblings have spent time in front of the camera at a local photo studio. The pictures were taken for free, courtesy of Chilliwack photographer Melissa DePape and The Tiny Light Foundation, which provides professional photography for families and children faced with life-altering diagnoses. Dayton was the only one booked for photos, but Madelyn was easily included once the two moms got to talking. DePape, the mother of a threeyear-old girl with Down Syndrome – Nevaeh, Heaven spelled backwards – started Tiny Light in December, doing photo shoots and vetting professional photographers across the country who have experience working with children and who could volunteer their time. The photography studios – as far away as Halifax – are listed on the founda-

tion’s website. Tina heard about the service through a “heart mom” friend on Facebook. “I looked it up and thought this is really neat because they take kids of all disabilities. I emailed them and they emailed back right away. I would recommend them to everybody.” The half-hour session in a Surrey photo studio, she says, was awesome. “I don’t know any other word to use. Melissa was great with both the kids. She basically said, ‘Let them do what they want’.” The big treat for Tina was that, unlike snapshots at home, she got pictures of Dayton with his eyes open, looking at the camera. DePape says about 25 photo shoots have been booked or are being processed. Most of the requests have come from the Maple Ridge area – she can’t explain why. While the foundation isn’t asking for money, it is seeking printing shops to save money for families, and maybe a lawyer who could help set it up as a nonprofit society. Tina is grateful just

New site to be operating early next year
SPCA to open animal centre in Cloverdale The BC SPCA has purchased a 5.5acre parcel of land in Cloverdale, where it plans to open a new animal centre early next year. The property, 16748 50 Ave., will be the site of what the non-profit society hopes will be “one of the largest and most innovative community animal centres anywhere in B.C.” “We are extremely excited about this new site,” BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell said. “Having this link between rural and urban allows us to create a unique setting where the community can come to learn about domestic and farm animals and to join us in making Surrey a leader in animal welfare.” The society’s Surrey branch – one of 37 SPCA locations in the province – is currently housed in a city-run pound at 6706 152 St. The SPCA was in the final stages of an agreement to construct a jointly operated animal shelter with the City of Surrey in Cloverdale, when the city announced last year that it was moving ahead without a community partner, the release states. Peace Arch News reported last March how the city plans to build a facility to house and care for local strays just south of Highway 10, in the 17900-block of Colebrook Road. The city will pay for the construction of the facility, then put the operation out for bidders. The City of Surrey is expected to be one of those bidders. “Our first choice would have been to work with the city, but they changed their plan and have not provided details to us with regard to any future involvement with the SPCA,” Daniell said. “The Surrey branch is one of our largest and busiest shelters so we have purchased our own site to ensure that
we can continue to serve the residents and animals of the community.” The BC SPCA will honour its existing contracts with the city to care for animals who come into the municipal shelter under Surrey’s animal control bylaws, and is open to any discussions about future services to the city, the release states. Daniell said the society will design programs that do not duplicate services offered at the city’s new proposed shelter. “While the city’s mandate focuses on stray animals and animal-control issues, we will offer our core services of animal protection, sheltering, advocacy and education.” The BC SPCA has begun a “visioning process” to determine the services that will be offered at the new centre. “The site has existing structures – two houses and numerous outbuildings – that can be converted for sheltering and adoptions, rehabilitation programs, youth and adult education and a wide variety of other purposes,” Daniell said, noting the society envisions a unique, community-friendly complex where the public can view animals for adoption, volunteer, attend education and training sessions on pet behavior, participate in animalrelated events and get involved in advocacy campaigns to help animals in need in Surrey. “One idea that we’re very excited about is the potential to have a farmers market or retail area on site featuring locally produced, humanely raised meat, poultry and dairy products from partners in our SPCA Certified labelling program. The new site is hoped to be operational in early 2012.

White Rock’s Primary Care Access Clinic, located in the Uptown Medical Centre, is improving outcomes for patients without a family doctor, officials say.
New clinic aims to fill void Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The population of White Rock/ South Surrey is expected to grow by nearly a third in the next 10 years. And with the largest growth predicted in those 65 years and older, efforts to ensure those without a family doctor receive the health care they need continue. “In health care, we’re suffering a bit,” Dr. Grace Park told White Rock councillors during a presentation at city hall last month. “There’s congestion and increased fragmentation.” Park, a local doctor and the medical director of Home Health, and Diane Miller, Fraser Health’s executive director of Primary Health Care, attended council to provide a briefing on the status of the city’s Primary Care Access Clinic. Located in the Uptown Medical Centre, at 1545 Johnston Rd., the
clinic launched last June to offer temporary support to patients who don’t have a family doctor – it is estimated seven per cent of B.C. residents are “unattached” – but require care following a hospital stay. At the time, White Rock was one of the province’s prototype communities, Park said. While initially focussed on unattached patients discharged from hospital, the clinic’s mandate has since expanded to include the 39 per cent of people living with one or more chronic conditions. That group uses 80 per cent of health care resources, Miller noted, and existing health care providers – including the area’s 75 or so doctors – are at capacity. Miller said current efforts to drive change are focussed on four areas: redesigning community services, divisions of family practice, integration and a commitment to attachment. Park described the latter as “a

big, big issue,” one that has noticeable impacts on a person’s health. “People who have regular family care providers have better outcomes,” she said. Integration is an important step, and this month (February), White Rock will follow the lead of a home health initiative that was piloted in the Tri-Cities, she said. In that area, the initiative – which partners home health case managers with family physicians – is credited with a 33 per cent decrease in ER visits and 61 per cent fewer hospitalizations. Park noted the Primary Care Access Clinic is an example of integration enabling attachment. It is hoped that the clinic will eventually find a home in White Rock’s newly built Centre for Active Living. It’s future is “one that’s going to be more a part of the community,” Park said. “The whole idea is to promote health maintenance, health management and self-promotion.”

Distracted drivers still a plague on roads despite ban

COSMETIC AND FAMILY DENTISTRY

Jeff Nagel Black Press
One year after B.C.’s distracted driving ban kicked in, there’s little sign the threat of fines are helping drivers keep their eyes on the road and off their electronic gadgets. “There’s a high percentage of people still using their cellphones whenever they’re driving,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said. Police issued 32,000 tickets province-wide since the ban on handheld use of cellphones and similar devices began in February 2010, worth a total of $5.2 million in $167 fines. Distracted driving remained a factor in 32 per cent of all fatal crashes in B.C.’s RCMP-enforced jurisdictions in the past year. In the Lower Mainland, it’s linked to 48 per cent of traffic deaths – a total of 45 people killed by distracted drivers since the new law took effect. That doesn’t necessarily mean a distracted driver who caused a deadly crash was talking on a cellphone or texting. “It means they were doing something that took their eyes off the road,” Chung said. “Looking for a CD on the floor, playing with an iPod or maybe they spilled a cup of coffee and were wiping it up, not watching where they are going.” Playing video games and programming GPS units is also a problem, he said. “The worst thing I’ve seen is people looking down and texting when they’re making a left turn.”

GIFT PACKAGE A crackdown on distracted drivers is set for Feb. 14. Distracted drivers have been hit waiting mid-intersection to turn left when their green light goes yellow and then red. Others stopped at red lights can get rearended if the light turns green without them responding. In addition to the fines, drivers caught texting or emailing also get three penalty points against their insurance. RCMP Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont suggested a review may be needed to examine whether the distracted driving penalties are stiff enough. “If you look at our statistics, it’s clear the public doesn’t realize just how dangerous it can be if you don’t have your full focus on the road,” he said. BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation executive director Allan Lamb said it’s “unbelievable” large numbers of drivers still talk and text.
File photo
He said everyone should rethink their near-compulsive need to be constantly plugged in and available to employers, friends and family. He said businesses and organizations with employees who must drive on the job should develop a policy on distracted driving. This month, police across the Lower Mainland are ramping up enforcement of the distracted driving law. Officers will be on the lookout not just for phone and gadget users, but also drivers putting on makeup while driving or reading a book or newspaper, even though those are not ticketable under the new law. Police may even be disguised in garb such as mascot costumes. In White Rock, Sgt. Roland Pierschke said officers will be set up at strategic locations throughout the city Feb. 14 as part of the crackdown.

Two years for home invasion Robert Freeman Black Press
Two Surrey residents were sentenced last month to nine years in prison for their part in a Harrison Hot Springs home invasion three years ago that left one man dead and another seriously injured. But because of the “two-forone” rule for time in custody awaiting trial, the pair will spend only another two years and nine months in jail. Robert Hugo Grattan, 25, and Nicole Amanda Birch, 27, pleaded guilty earlier to charges of manslaughter, aggravated assault and robbery. B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Grist said neither accused
was directly involved in the shooting death of Scott Daniel Lee, which took place after several suspects entered the home on Echo Avenue to rob the occupants of drugs and money on Nov. 23, 2007 at about 2 p.m. However, Ronald Thom identified Grattan during a court hearing in November as the man who shot him. Thom said he was in the house fixing the plumbing when the robbery took place. Grist said that Grattan and Birch tied up three of the victims, and their use of a taser during the planned robbery “added to the overall terror of the assault.” “At some point during the robbery,” Grist continued, Lee
returned to the home and several shots were fired. “Lee was shot in the back, in the driveway, where he died,” Grist said. Four of the home invaders left in a van, but Grattan and Birch left the area on foot. Still wearing body armour, they were arrested walking down the street about 20 minutes later, and have been in custody ever since. The investigation to locate the remaining suspects continues. RCMP Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said outside the courtroom that investigators won’t stop until they hold everyone “accountable.”
Advertising coming to transit passes Each will occupy nearly half of the front face of the pass.

Suzanne Swanson in Memphis to judge competition
Music industry vet gives boost to blues Alex Browne
T
Arts Reporter
wo musical duos are down in Memphis, Tenn. this week, representing the White Rock Blues Society at the Memphis International Blues Challenge. But Mud Dog (guitarist-vocalist Steve Sainas and harmonica player Christopher Allen, competing in the duo category) and hometown favourites Sam and Luke (competing in the Youth Showcase) aren’t the only ones carrying the standard for the community. Peninsula resident Suzanne Swanson, a longtime supporter of the society, is down there, too – in an official capacity as one of the judges. But – as she hastens to add – as one of three judges of the band competition, not the duo or youth categories. “There can’t be a conflict of interest,” she said, reached at her hotel room in Memphis. “That’s why I purposefully picked the band category. I just have to keep my fingers crossed that no one else I know comes up for judging, otherwise I’d have to disqualify myself.” It’s not as unlikely as it might seem. Swanson, a concert photographer, writer, documentary maker and blues historian, has many contacts in the industry dating back to her days as an accredited photographer for MCA Records in the 1970s, and her time as artists and repertoire professional, manager and producer. Her lifelong passion and expertise in blues music is the reason she was chosen as a judge in the current event, said Swanson, who came to the White Rock area some 10

Peninsula resident Suzanne Swanson with legendary blues musician Buddy Guy. years ago. Born in Toronto, she was raised in the U.S. and spent 13 years as a resident of Dallas, Texas, she said. When she’s not judging this week, she’s photographing Mud Dog and Sam and Luke’s visit to Memphis and also gathering addi-
tional material for two of her historical book/ documentary projects: It’s The Music: History of the Yale Hotel, and The Blues And Nothing But The Blues. After arriving in Memphis Monday night, she barely had time to unpack her bags before heading to the historic Sun Studios
– birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll recording in the 1950s – to photograph Mud Dog’s recording session there. “They did really well. It was a very successful session – they put down around 10 tracks,” she said. “It’s a very interesting room. I did a lot of pictures of the photographs lining the walls, people like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash who all recorded there. It’s a funky room. I was looking at the ceiling – there are all these old ratty-looking green acoustic tiles. There are two pianos lined up against one wall and a row of guitars and a beautiful big standup bass, all this old recording equipment like reel-to-reel tape machines.” Swanson, who has visited Memphis several times before, said the performers in the Blues Challenge don’t know until the day of their category which venue they will be playing at. “It’s concentrated around Beale Street – it’s a long street – but all the venues are clustered around a three-block area,” she said. Swanson, also a member of the Washington Blues Society, said she is “very honoured” to be selected as a judge at this year’s event. She has no doubt, she added, that Mud Dog and Sam and Luke will do White Rock proud. “Steve and Christopher are so amazingly talented, and Sam and Luke have done so well – somebody should mentor these two kids.” She said her work is not only to ensure that great musicians of the past are not forgotten, but to make sure there is a connection between their experience and the performers of the future. “The onus is we have to pass that on and share that knowledge,” she said.

Thomas Newman makes movie with budget of just $2,000
Zombie flick filmmaker’s ‘dying passion’ Alex Browne
H
Arts Reporter
ow do you make a $2 million feature film for only $5,000? Talk to Thomas Newman, producer and driving force behind Bong Of The Dead. If he doesn’t know how to do it, no one does. Newman, 38, a North Delta resident whose day gig is at South Surrey electronics retailer Best Buy, has spent the last three years creating his debut feature – which he describes, with disarming candor, as a “stonerbuddy-zombie movie.” If that conjures up images of a blurry, handheld, sloppily edited, underacted mess – guess again. Bong Of The Thomas Newman Dead (a title filmmaker take-off on low budget zombie classic Dawn Of The Dead and the parodistic Shaun of the Dead) may just be the Citizen Kane of stonerbuddy-zombie movies – a sharply photographed, well-lit picture, rock-steady even in its frequent tracking shots, full of dynamic compositions and ingenious special-effects work. Shot on video it may be, but the visuals equal or exceed the standard of many shot-on-film projects. The only apparent limitation is that it’s intended for a specific market niche – if slow-witted potheads, oozing zombie makeup and gallons of fake blood is your idea of cool, Bong Of The Dead is definitely the movie for you. If that’s not your scene, the upbeat Newman doesn’t mind. “It’s a genre picture, and this is a pretty popular genre for a lot of people,” he said. Indeed the online buzz – one might go as far to say cult – created by YouTube postings of early footage for the film has helped fuel

and energize the whole project, interesting backers and potential distributors – as well as draw participants who virtually volunteered their services for the shoot. “People were saying, ‘This sounds like a cult classic’ - everybody is a fan of Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar and Shaun Of The Dead.” The movie – for which he says he is close to negotiating a distribution deal – is a testament to Newman’s irrepressible spirit, and the 15 years he spent learning how to become a one-man band (at last count he was writer, director, cameraman, editor and visual-effects supervisor for the film). Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he

movies. It also doesn’t hurt that this allowed him to network with others who lent acting and special skills to his film for screen and resumé credits and the kick of being involved in a project driven by passion rather than commerce. (If everyone involved – including Newman – had charged Bong Of The Dead what their skills are actually worth, it likely would be a multimillion-dollar picture). Among those eagerly involved are co-producer, and makeup effects wizard Mike Fields, and professional actors Mark Wynn, Simone Bailly, Jy Harris and Barry Nerling (well-known local performer
Michael Roberds, of Addams Family fame, is also one of the zombies in the movie, contributing a truly revolting cameo). Set in a post-apocalyptic world in which meteorites have turned most of the population into zombies, Bong Of The Dead follows the misadventures of survivors Tommy (Harris) and Edwin (Wynn), whose principal occupation is growing (and smoking) as much pot as they can. The discovery that zombie brains have a magic fertilizing effect – allowing them to grow a highly potent species of weed � see page 26

Thomas Newman shot Bong of the Dead on a small, handheld camera.
Long days on Langley set � from page 25 – sends the two stoners on a road trip into the “danger zone,” an area where the zombie population is concentrated. It also sends them into the clutches of a Nazi-like gay zombie (Nerling) who plots to mobilize the other zombies into an “army of the undead.” But along the way they meet another survivor, Leah (Bailly) – the kind of tough chick beloved of all action movies. She also happens to be an inventor who has built an array of zombiefighting weapons on her farm – all of which the trio get to try out in a bloodsplattered finale. Technological advances have helped give Newman’s indie production a glossier look, Newman adds, miniaturizing what would, until recently, have been a truckful of high-definition equipment. “I used a Sony video camera – the tiniest high-end consumer camera, with a wide-angle lens and a mini tripod,” he said. “People were arriving at the set thinking that was what I was using to document the shoot – it was, like, where’s the real camera? “The guys I got to document the shoot were using a camera that was about three times the size.” Shot in the Langley area, the actual filming was a relatively brief process, Newman said. “It was a 15-day shoot, but they were 12- to 18-hour days – and myself and my wife, Jodi, were cooking all the food for the cast and crew.” But most of the time on the film was spent in pre-production – Newman meticulously storyboarded every shot so that it didn’t have a random piecedtogether look – and in a gruelling
year of editing, in which he personally made 350 cuts, composited scenes, layered in digital effects and postsynched sound. As recently as last November, Newman faced the classic ‘all is lost’ moment beloved of formula movie scenario writers – his main editing computer crashed, taking his final cut, or so he thought, with it. “I’d backed everything up – I could have put it together again, but it wouldn’t have been the same,” he said. Fortunately, some kind of movie gods seem to be smiling all the way on Newman’s project – right from having his “dream location” supplied through the generosity of Langley’s Bridden family, to having an industry contact come through at the last minute when he ran out of movie “blood” during filming of the climactic battle with the zombies. They manifested themselves again in Newman’s darkest hour when he discovered a friend’s father is in the data retrieval business. “He was able to save all the files for a fraction of what it would have cost me,” he said. The Iranian-born, Thailand- and Canadian-raised Newman (the original family name is Haddad) is convinced it’s all some kind of test – one he has survived and which finally seems to be paying off for him. “Movies are my dying passion,” he said, adding that he has a follow-up project, Unnatural – with test footage already posted to YouTube – just waiting for development funding. “And I’d really like to connect with (cult filmmaker) Robert Rodriguez,” he said. “I’m who he was, 10 years ago.”

Filmmaker living with no regrets Sheila Reynolds Black Press
What did you dream of as a child? Being a firefighter? A rock star? Maybe a hockey player or dancer? What are you doing now? They are questions Patrick Stark started thinking about when he turned 40 nearly two years ago – and a concept he’s turning into a documentary, One Life, No Regrets. As a kid growing up in a small town in Northern B.C., Stark had a dream. Trouble was, he couldn’t tell anyone about it. It was the 1970s and there wasn’t a whole lot for a kid in Dawson Creek to do for entertainment. There was one TV channel. And there were two movie theatres in town. Stark remembers the highlight of his Grade 2 year was when his brother took him to an evening movie. The first film he saw was Jaws. That night, he knew he wanted to be in the movie business. But it was an aspiration he couldn’t share. “Everyone would have found that hilarious... completely unbelievable.” At the time, there was no film industry in B.C., so anyone wanting to get into movies would have had to head south to Hollywood. So Stark went to college to study to be a teacher like his dad. But one day, while walking in Vancouver, he stumbled across a film set. He asked some people standing around what they were doing, and the next day, made a beeline to a talent agency and signed up to be a movie extra. His first job was on Mystery Date with Ethan Hawke. It was the beginning of his career, which saw him climb through the ranks, first

Photojournalists’ work on display in Surrey There are still a few days left to view the current display of photojournalism at Surrey Arts Centre. Faces of the Community, running until Feb. 13, is an exhibition of photographs by Surreybased photojournalists, telling stories about the people who live and work in Surrey and the surrounding region. While documentary photography captures significant events, as well as moments from life, photojournalism
is intended to present facts and elicit strong emotion, as well as illustrate a news story. The best work illuminates an event so effectively, the image alone conveys the whole story. Among local photojournalists whose work is featured in the show are Peace Arch News photographer Brian Giebelhaus, and sister paper The Surrey Leader’s Evan Seal and Boaz Joseph, as well as Sharon Doucette and Brian Howell.

Earl Marriott’s Katie Reid signed Wednesday to run track and field with the UCLA Bruins.

Earl Marriott runner signs scholarship with UCLA
Reid to become a Bruin Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
More than anything – more than the palm trees, more than the proximity of family, more than the bright lights of Hollywood – Katie Reid chose UCLA over other schools for one reason, and one reason only. Because she wants to run in the Olympics. And UCLA has the coach who has promised to get her there. The university’s women’s track program is led by Jeanette Bolden, who coached the United States women’s team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and knows a little something about how to get to the world’s grandest athletic stage. “I really wanted to stay on the west coast – I’m excited about the weather, obviously – but the main thing is the coach,” Reid said in Earl Marriott Secondary’s gym Wednesday afternoon, just moments after signing her letter of intent on what was the NCAA’s National Signing Day – the first day schools can officially ink athletes to scholarship agreements. “It’s my goal to make it to the Olympics, and I know that she can really help me. She’s been there, she knows what it takes.” Reid will run the 400 metres at UCLA – and maybe the 200m, too, because she “likes the sprint side of things,” – but it’s the 400-m race in which she excels. In fact, it’s a distance she’s owned for the better part of a year; in her age group, there’s nobody better in Canada. Last year, Reid won gold in the 400 – and set a new meet record – at the Canadian Junior Track
a big school in the Pac-10, and because UCLA has great academics and athletics, it made my decision even easier,” she said. “It’s just a good fit.

Storm hold onto last playoff spot Tuesday’s game against against Pacific Academy was more than just your average basketball contest for the Southridge Storm. Win, and they stay in the senior boys AA playoff picture; lose, and they tumble out of a playoff spot, at least for the time being. In the end, the Storm stayed alive in the quest for the post-season, beating the Breakers 86-77, thanks in large part to a 33-point effort from Jonathan Yu. “Tonight was, without a doubt, the most important game of the season,” Storm head coach Steve Anderson said in an email. Southridge controlled the play for the majority of the game Tuesday, and led by as many as 18 in the fourth quarter, but Pacific Academy slowly chipped away at the lead. They may well have caught the Storm if not for some clutch freethrow shooting from the victors, Anderson said. In addition to Yu’s 33-point effort,
Southridge got 13 points, 16 rebounds and five blocked shots from forward Jacob Andreou, and 11 points from Royce Holmes. Rounding out the scoring was Rider Laskin (eight points) and Ben Severide and Shahbaj Dhillion (seven each). The win gives the Storm, ranked third in the province, a Fraser Valley record of 5-1, and a 14-8 mark overall. Last weekend, Southridge finished fourth at Victoria’s Countdown to Playoffs tournament. The Storm won their first two games of the tournament, 92-51 over Cedar Secondary and 75-70 over Brentwood College, the latter victory called “a game for the ages” by Anderson. Southridge couldn’t make it three wins in a row, however, losing by 11 to to G.W. Graham in semifinals. In the semis, the Storm were forced to play with Yu, who sprained his ankle in quarter-finals. - Nick Greenizan

For people that have lost all their teeth, dental implants are their only alternative to wearing nothing or wearing a denture. The available types of implants and prosthesis largely depend on the patient’s desires, their budget and the amount of bone support available. It is possible for our patients to have teeth that are fixed, that look and feel like their natural teeth. In the event that the available bone is inadequate, very predictable procedures are now available to rebuild the missing bone.

I’m on a plane to Las Vegas to shoot the show,” said Mueller, who has two World Series of Poker bracelets on his resume. In the Feb. 7 showdown, in which players will be vying for $150,000, Mueller – a former professional hockey player before turning his attention to cards – will face off against such recognizable names as Howard Lederer, Phil “The Unabomber” Laak and Eli Elezra. The show was taped back in November. - Nick Greenizan

I don’t want to wear a denture anymore. What are my options? Most denture wearers, when they first arrive for a consultation, request fixed teeth because they don’t want any movement with their teeth during function. In practice, however, a removable prosthesis may be able to provide the same degree of security with the advantage of being easier to care for. Generally, removable prosthesis will be the least cost. Teeth-in-a-day, BarOver-dentures, Marius Bridges, All–on-4 and the less commonly used Custom Endosteal implants are some of the terms widely advertised. The plethora of options is often confusing for the laymen and even most dentists. Each option offers advantages and disadvantages. All of them are very effective and impressive if used properly. None of them are perfect. If you are interested in being

OBITUARIES
Brule, Jane Ruth Jacqueline (nee Line) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passed away peacefully at Westminster House in South Surrey, BC at the age of 80 years, in the early morning of January 24th, 2011. Jane was born in her grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house in Winnipeg, MB, Sept 25, 1930, with her auntie Lois Caithness as her nurse. She, her parents and two older sisters, Norah & Joan moved from the prairies to Victoria, BC in 1936. She graduated from Victoria High School in 1949, and, after a 16 month trip to Britain to meet relatives, went on to graduate from St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Nursing in Victoria in 1954. Jane met Jean Joseph Jules (Jim) Brule in 1952, became engaged on Christmas Eve that year, and was married to Jim in August of 1953. During her youth and into adulthood, she was involved with the I.O.D.E. (Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire) Thunderbird Chapter, becoming chapter regent in 1954. Both Jane and Jim were very involved with their church, ďŹ rst at St. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Langford, and then with the Church of the Advent in Colwood, just outside Victoria. They enjoyed dancing and attended classes and events with Scottish Country and Square dancing clubs. Jane was predeceased by Jim in 2002, on the 50th anniversary of their engagement and had missed him terribly ever since. She is survived by her loving sons Paul and Maurice, daughter-in-law Jennifer, grandchildren Ken and Jamie, and many cousins, nephews and nieces across Canada and elsewhere. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff and nurses at Westminster House, to Dr Derek Lowe in South Surrey, Dr James Cranston in Victoria, Drâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Gayton and Kelly French and nurse Diana James of Elder Care at Peace Arch Hospital and last but not least the residents and staff at The PaciďŹ ca retirement complex in South Surrey. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, the family would appreciate that donations be made in memory of Jane to Stroke Recovery BC or the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of Canada.

SUSAN CARMEN JONES Feb 4th 1965 - Jan 31st 2011 Words alone cannot convey the depth of our sadness at the passing of Susan Carmen Jones (nee Stahl). Sue leaves husband Barry and children Caitlin and Dylan of South Surrey, mother Mary of Kelowna and her brother Ray, his wife, Michelle and their children Amber and Chelsea of Calgary. After a long and hard fought battle with a rare form of cancer, Sue passed away on Monday, January 31st. But this was not what deďŹ ned Susan. She was magniďŹ cent at almost everything she undertook. As a UBC B.Comm. graduate, a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Business Valuator she took the corporate ďŹ nance world in London, England by storm. She loved to travel, meet new people and embrace new experiences during her early adult life. But her true passion were her children, she was an amazing mother even as the disease took hold and drained her of her energy, Sue would still embrace every aspect of their young lives. A special thanks to the wonderful care she received at The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, The BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver and the team at the Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers donations can made to the BC Cancer Foundation. Susan was a gift to all who knew her and we will be remembering her at a service at St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, 12953 - 20th Avenue, South Surrey at 3:00 on Saturday, February 5th.

In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Kay moved to Vancouver and was proud to work for Boeing during the War. She became a hairdresser, met Walter on a blind date, and they married in 1946. Loving and raising her children was Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. We have fond memories of curling up on her lap, learning the words to her favourites, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Streets of Laredoâ&#x20AC;?. Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door was always open: she made everyone feel at home. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, she became a Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Activity Worker in White Rock, and loved playing Cribbage and Scrabble. On the weekends, she packed up the car to join Dad at our family gold mine on Slesse Creek near Chilliwack: it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any money, but we think it turned out some ďŹ ne young men. Later in life, she was proud to ďŹ&#x201A;y off on a ďŹ&#x201A;oat plane to spend the summers cooking at her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jade mine. Despite having to bang pots and pans to scare off the bears attracted by her fresh baking, she loved the adventure. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss her Goofy buns, Wacky cake, cookies, tea biscuits and carrot pudding. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember many a haircut wrapped in the old blue sheet. Kay loved Jim Reeves, Canadian football (Roughriders and Lions), watching curling and going to the races. We will celebrate Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life on Wed., Feb. 16, at 2:00 p.m., at Victory Memorial Park. Donations, in lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAH Foundation (for PA Hospice 6 East, in memory of Kay Makepeace)â&#x20AC;?.
