Veteran councillor Bob Bose dropped, as Dianne Watts’ slates take all but one seat

Citywide sweep for Surrey First Kevin Diakiw

SURREY MAYOR (7 candidates)

Black Press

Mayor Dianne Watts’ Surrey First team has completely swept city council, as they took a huge lead at the beginning of election night Saturday (Nov. 19) and never let go. Surrey First’s Bruce Hayne replaced longtime incumbent councillor Bob Bose, who trailed by almost 8,000 votes by the end of the night. All other incumbents kept their seats. All five Surrey First Education incumbent trustees were elected to the school board, with Surrey Civic Coalition candidate Charlene Dobie replacing SCC incumbent Ijaz Chatta, who finished 12th. Watts took back the mayor’s chair with a convincing win, taking 80 per cent of the vote, trouncing Ross Buchanan by 48,000 votes. It’s a historic result for Surrey, marking what is believed to be the first time city council will be governed by a single civic organization without opposition. By the time the numbers rolled in, the party mood was high at Central City, where Watts and her team were celebrating. It wasn’t that way an hour before polls closed. see page 2

Baldwin to lead incumbents, plus two Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s former manager is its new mayor. An hour after polls closed Saturday night, chief election officer Tracey Arthur announced Wayne Baldwin, city manager from 1983 to 2006, had received the top number of votes – 2,169 – amongst four mayoral candidates. Lynne Sinclair, a first-term councillor, collected 1,690 votes in her quest to be the city’s mayor; businessman Larry Anschell garnered 706. Angelo Megla, who withdrew from the race earlier this month – but too late for his name to be removed from the ballot – received 24 votes. Voter turnout in the city was 28.7 per cent; a drop of eight per cent from the 2008 election, when 36.86 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots.

Wayne Baldwin rejoices with Louise Hutchinson. After receiving congratulatory hugs and handshakes at city hall – where more than three dozen

people gathered as results came in – Baldwin told supporters at Uli’s on Marine Drive that “it was not an easy victory, but it’s a sweet one.” “It was a clean victory,” he said in his celebration speech. “We did things the right way, and did it with class. We did not do it at a level that someone else did. The only time I did drop down – and gave Marc (Burchell, one of Baldwin’s two campaign managers) an apoplectic fit – was when I said, ‘Shut up, Lynne.’ But there was a ‘please’ attached, so don’t forget that.” Peace Arch News caught up with Sinclair just after she gave her concession speech to supporters who joined her at Cosmos restaurant. She said she was surprised by Baldwin’s win, but accepted the results as what citizens of White Rock want. see page 4

Outrage over ‘Falconridge Rapist’ here Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A high-risk sex offender has made Surrey his home, and RCMP are warning the public he has a high likelihood of reoffending. Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 26, has a criminal record involving sexual-related offences against adult females. Jefferson terrorized a Calgary neighbourhood in 2006 with a series of armed street attacks, gaining the nickname the “Falconridge rapist.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she is angered that Jefferson has been allowed to relocate here. “This type of thing just infuriates me to no end,” Watts said Friday. “The safety of the residents and the community should

Touring Canucks, fans assist local food bank A pair of Vancouver Canucks were making the rounds in South Surrey Friday, helping raise money for the White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank. Mason Raymond and Alex Burrows first stopped by Rosemary Heights Elementary, where they were loudly cheered upon arriving in the school’s gymnasium and spent a few minutes answering questions from students, many of whom brought food-bank donations. After Rosemary Heights, the popular Canucks forwards went to Thrifty’s at Morgan Crossing – where they helped selected customers take part in a high-speed shopping spree, with items collected going to the food bank – then headed to Memphis Blues in Grandview Corners for an invite-only food drive event to wrap up their Peninsula tour. – Nick Greenizan

Supporters help Gabrielle shine.

The heart-wrenching plight of a terminally ill White Rock girl inspired thousands of dollars in donations Saturday for Canuck Place, the Vancouver children’s hospice that has been a lifeline for her family. Sandra Christian, owner of Creative Kids Learning Centers, said Monday a preliminary tally puts the total raised by the Mom’s Night Out event at around $11,000 – more than five times what organizers were hoping for. “It was such a hit… out of this world,” Christian said.

BOOK E L A S Driver uproots family memories 3 DAYS ONLY! Richard Dubac surveys damage done by a vehicle that was driven through the front yard of his South Surrey home earlier this month. Tracy Holmes photo

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Richard and Yvonne Dubac say it’s been a few years – they figure about 30, give or take – since a vehicle last careened through the yard of their South Surrey home. Back then, culprits cut an arc from the property’s northwest corner eastbound, leaving tire tracks in their wake. Just to be safe, the couple decided to put in a hedge along their property line to the north (14 Avenue), hoping to dissuade the next person who felt the urge to veer from the beaten path.

Over the years since, as the hedge grew, the lot’s west side (162A) became home to a few of their live Christmas trees – including two that paid tribute to Yvonne’s parents. “Thought that would stop them,” Yvonne said Nov. 14 of the plantings, the day after a vehicle cut a path from that same corner southbound. Along its semi-circle route, the offending auto ripped out an eight-foot fir, dragged it to a rock garden in front of the Dubacs’ house and narrowly missed a neighbour’s truck – and again left tire tracks in its wake.

Non-voters an affront to democracy

he civic election is over, which means – as those familiar with politics in White Rock and Surrey recognize well – the venerable hobby of grousing can now begin. It’s a given that, as soon as results are known, some will complain it was a bad day for democracy that this team or that person was elected over other options. Or that low voter turnout means the victors don’t have the confidence of the electorate. In the Surrey polls particularly, the landslide in favour of Dianne Watts and her Surrey First slate guaranteed opponents’ claims that all dissenting views will be shut out. The danger of a single party controlling council, some will assert, is that it will relegate the media to official opposition status – and who trusts the media, anyway? The real shame for democracy, of course, was indeed that only 28.7 per cent of the electorate turned out to vote on Saturday in White Rock – far worse than the shabby 36.86 turnout in 2008. Even in Surrey, where voting was up one point, it still represented only a paltry 25 per cent of the electorate. But don’t dare blame the victors. Those who want to complain loudly about our newly elected civic governments – but neglected to take action when it, quite literally, counted – should take pause for sobering reflection. By not completing a ballot, non-voters did, in essence, cast their vote – in favour of whomever won. The very fact they abstained says loudly and clearly they did not care enough about the issues to vote another candidate into office. Whether it was complacency, apathy or finding a unified voice that did it, the sweep of the polls achieved in Surrey by Watts and her slate and the ascendancy of Wayne Baldwin to the mayor’s seat in White Rock were made possible not simply by those who voted for them, but by all those who didn’t vote against. In their election speeches, both successful mayoral candidates made a point of saying they feel they won a “clean” victory. Some opponents will claim they didn’t, and that negative electioneering, in what was – away from carefully groomed external images – an often messy and ugly campaign, was at least partially responsible for their wins. But however pleased or displeased one is by the results, it’s clear the real disservice to democracy was done on election day by those who couldn’t be bothered, quite simply, to vote.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 28% no 72% 114 responding world in climate action. We’re hurting our own agriculture and manufacturing, and transferring scarce funds from hospitals, senior care homes and schools to subsidize profitable energy corporations. And emissions are still rising. It’s no wonder the finance committee has recommended major changes to Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. He should cap the carbon tax at the 2012 rate. He should “address the inequity for B.C. cement producers,” and also “consider immediate carbon tax exclusions for agriculture, including the greenhouse sector, and public institutions.” Falcon allowed last week that B.C.’s competitive position must be considered, now that U.S. President Barack Obama has reversed himself on the need for an emission trading system that would have levelled the North American playing field. Look for changes when Falcon tables his first budget in February. Does this mean B.C.’s climate strategy is dead? No. Delegates from U.S. states and Alberta gathered in front of the legislature to kick the tires on B.C.’s newest weapon, natural gas-powered vehicles. Garbage trucks, school buses and milk-truck fleets have switched from diesel to natural gas, and thanks to its abundance and low price, they’re saving 50 per cent on fuel bills. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says natural gas is being considered for BC Ferries, the largest publicsector emissions source of all, which is exempt from the carbon neutrality rule.

Heros deserve highest praise Editor: We wish to express our gratitude for the extraordinary presence and gallantry shown by three young men in saving the life of our eldest son, Dominic Weghsteen. On Saturday, Nov. 5, Dominic was working in the home of Chris Jacobson when he suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed. Chris, 25, and two companions, Ryley Patterson and Bryan Fimon, immediately called 911 and then took turns performing energetic CPR on Dominic until paramedics arrived. These three young men deserve the highest praise and commendation for their decisive, selfless and swift action. Joanne & Robert Weghsteen, Surrey

opposed to tougher sentencing laws – ie. longer jail terms – have cried out that the facts don’t support this form of carrying out justice; that this policy direction is “ideologically” based, or the result of philosophy overriding facts. I do not wish to discuss the merits of Bill C-10, but I do want to expose the hypocrisy shown by adherents to the postmodern worldview described above when this dichotomy is applied to another policy issue in Canada. Scientific evidence clearly shows that from the moment of conception, an entirely new, unique human being begins his/her life. It has been said that, “virtually no ethicist denies that the fetus is human: biologically, genetically, scientifically human.” Canadians are not aware of the facts regarding the unborn because of the pro-choice ideology. Each year in Canada, thousands of women make the choice to end the life of their unborn child without being aware of the facts behind that choice.

It’s time that the pro-choice movement set their ideology aside so that all Canadians are aware of the truths of abortion; a truth that is based on scientific facts! Mike Schouten, Surrey

I’d gladly leave my car at home Editor: Re: Move to curb parking frustrates at bus loop, Nov. 15. I just wanted to add my voice to the many who complain about the situation. I can not reasonably avoid using the park and ride; I would love to be able to step out my door and catch a bus to connect to that loop. Unfortunately, I live in Cloverdale and work in Richmond. This means that to get to the park and ride, I have to take an hour-long bus ride, and transfer twice.

On the other hand, if I drive to the park and ride, it takes 11 minutes from my house to waiting at the bus stop. I have spent – literally – hours on the TransLink trip planner, trying to find alternatives to leaving on the 5:11 a.m. bus, including being willing to go backwards into Langley if there was a solution. There is not, which means that every morning, I must drive. And as my work in Richmond begins at 7 a.m., there aren’t that many others making the same trip from Cloverdale at the same time – no carpooling option. A more accommodating bus schedule – perhaps a route from Langley with a stop in Cloverdale on Highway 10 – would alleviate much of the congestion, I am sure. I know of three others in the same situation – with shifts differing enough to make carpooling impossible – who would gladly leave their cars at home. Heather Slade-Bromschwig, Surrey

Police perform balancing act Editor: Re: Enforcement iffy at best, Nov. 15; Perspective from a visitor, Nov. 1. I was rather surprised at the comments in recent letters to the editor regarding the aspersions of inadequate enforcement by the White Rock RCMP. My observation is that the we receive excellent value for our policing dollar and a reasonable response time for complaints. The White Rock RCMP perform a variety of traffic enforcement initiatives such a seat-belt and stopsign enforcement that are highly visible and have a deterrent value for all. There will always exists the difficult balance of not being able to be everywhere and provide proactive community policing no matter where you reside, it seems. The issue of who pays what amount of tax in the city, I am sure, does not impact on how the police determine response times or enforcement of traffic infractions. Ron Eves, White Rock

Let science be our guide Editor: One of the key features of postmodern age is a dichotomy between values and facts. That which we value – religion, morality and philosophy – are accepted as long as they are kept in the private sphere and don’t influence public policy; whereas facts – science and all that is objective – are accepted as universal truth and allowed to be discussed in the public sphere and provide a basis for policy. An example of this postmodern view of the world is seen in the reaction to Bill C-10, the omnibus crime bill that the Conservatives are passing through Parliament. Those

There are so many better ways to connect at Christmastime and boost the local economy, writes Myra Merkal.

Thinking outside of the gift box Editor: Let’s start a new tradition. As Christmas approaches, the giant Asian factories are busy producing monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods, many of which are sent overseas for Canadian consumers. This merchandise has been produced at the expense of Canadian labour. This year let’s do something different. There is no excuse at gift time to give other than Canadian-made. It truly is time to think outside of the box. Who says a gift needs to fit in a box? How about a gift certificate from one of our White Rock/South Surrey businesses? Everyone gets their hair cut, and there are lots of hair salons and barbers in our area. A gift certificate from one may be perfect for someone on your list. Could someone use a gym membership; this one is appropriate for all ages? Car wash or detailing – who wouldn’t like that? Here are other ideas, and I am sure there are many more: a golf game, theatre tickets, artists’ performances, cleaning service, lawn cutting, massage/pedicure/ manicure, lube and oil, bicycle repairs, computer repair, technical support and music, singing or dancing lessons. Want something more personal? How about crafts made by fellow residents. For children, consider a trip to the zoo, ice skating, the swimming pool, a movie or an event with you, or contribute to their RESP account. There are many wonderful owner-managed restaurants, all offering gift certificates. And if you want to be generous, how about a dozen certificates for breakfast?

Yes, this is about thinking outside of the box and supporting our own hometown Canadians who have their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open. Instead of buying another string of cheap lights or ornament, please consider to leave the post person, garbage collectors or newspaper person a nice big tip. Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down money on a huge flat-screen TV or another video game? Perhaps the receiver would be more appreciative of a contribution towards a taxfree savings account or a special vacation with you. Or consider sponsoring a family less fortunate than you with a basket of Christmas treats, or make a donation to the food bank. What a wonderful way to teach children. Another consideration is to give the gift of time. What is more valuable than your own time? Give a gift card to personally provide a service, or take someone out for a meal or a date to a play or movie. My adult sons like to give me a homemade card with an offer for a dinner and movie night or a gift card for a massage. I look forward to those much more than a mass-produced item. Let’s start a new tradition and stop draining Canadians’ pockets. The holiday season is about caring about people. Let’s support local small businesses and encourage them to keep following their dreams. When we care about fellow Canadians, we care about our community, and the benefits will come back in ways we cannot even imagine. Myra Merkal, White Rock

news Communist party leader highlights economic issues at forum

Voters told to take charge Sarah Massah Black Press

More than 75 people attended a public meeting in South Surrey hosted by the Centre for Socialist Education to discuss the political and financial issues affecting Canadians and countries around the world. Miguel Figueroa, leader of the Communist Party of Canada, was the guest speaker for the Nov. 15 event as part of his Canada-wide speaking tour. During the public meeting, Figueroa touched on a number of issues affecting Metro Vancouver – specifically the Occupy Vancouver movement. “Part of this tour is to express our solidarity with the Occupy movement. Even though it is spontaneous, it’s important and it’s touched a nerve, revealing the deepening social cleavage and contradictions that are prevalent in Canada, the United States and Europe.” The meeting, which was held at the Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, 7566 120A Ave., also included

Fourth guilty in attack Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A fourth person has been found guilty in connection to the fatal beating of a man in a Surrey crack shack in 2006. Steven Iyoupe, 28, was convicted of manslaughter in New Westminster Supreme Court Thursday for helping kill 45-year-old Garry Glen Harder. Harder was found lying in a ditch near 103A Avenue and 144 Street on Jan. 29, 2006. Investigators said he was beaten during a drug-related dispute, then dumped in the ditch. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Harder had left a crack shack in Surrey with money that wasn’t his and the theft was reported to the dealers who ran the house. The victim was taken back to the house where police say he was met by a group who “repeatedly and horrifically” beat him for several hours. Three other people were arrested in May 2008 in connection with Harder’s murder. Iyoupe’s sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 27.

In order to get to that stage, Figueroa said Canada needs to shift the power from big corporations back to regular Canadians by nationalizing banks and oil companies. “It really has to do with the distribution of wealth and power in society. People are feeling more and more disempowered,” Figueroa said. “Decisions are not made at the ballot box anymore. According to Figueroa, many of the people who attended the event were from mixed backgrounds and included a younger demographic – a group he said has been hit hard by the global shift in money and power. “Young people everywhere have the most at stake – their whole future. The cost of education has gone through the roof and the prospect of young people being able to own a home and have a family is more and more remote,” Figueroa said. “Young people are fighting for a future.” Figureroa also spoke in North Vancouver and Vancouver earlier in the week.

Child-porn trial set for April A White Rock man charged a year ago in connection with the April 2010 discovery of child pornography on a home computer is set to go to trial on the charges next April. Four days (April 23-26) have been set to hear the case against Garth Steeves, 48. Steeves was charged following a yearlong investigation that was conducted in conjunction with Toronto police and the RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit. ICE officers, along with members of the RCMP Technological Crime Unit, searched a White Rock home April 28, 2010. During the search, two computers were seized; child pornography was found on one, police said at the time. According to an online court database, Steeves is charged with accessing child pornography, making or publishing child pornography and importing or distributing child pornography. - Tracy Holmes

Struggling Kiwanis Club seeking help from community

Age-old problem Sarah Massah

Black Press

long-standing Semiahmoo Peninsula community club is struggling to stay afloat due to a steep decline in membership. The Kiwanis Club of White Rock has been working to improve the city since its inception in 1961. In the last 50 years, the club has contributed to numerous projects, from school scholarships to pier benches and light standards. Most notably, the club provides more than 250 housing units in Crescent Beach at Kiwanis Park Place – which has one building dedicated to subsidized housing for seniors. However, within the last 10 years a lack of new members and an aging membership has strained the club’s limited resources and jeopardized its future, said club president Helen McFadden. “We’re down to a low ebb and we really Sarah Massah photo need an influx of new, young people Kiwanis Club of White Rock members Helen McFadden and Randy Kohls are appealing – people who are doing things in the to the community for people interested in giving back to join their club, which holds a community and who are excited about number of fundraisers throughout the year, including its annual fruit cake sale (below). doing things in the community,” said “If I go up to someone and say, ‘you Kiwanis Park Place, but our focus has McFadden, who has been heading the should really be a part of our group’ they’re always been on children.” club for the past couple of years. “We’re Aside from the help the group receives excited about it still, but we can’t do it all by going to decide that maybe it’s not their thing because of the age difference and from the Newton Bingo Association, the ourselves.” when they come to meetings, they see members are fundraising year-round with The club currently has 15 members, with mostly old people,” McFadden said. different sales including their Christmas three of them more than 80 years old.

A group of Kwantlen students are adding a sweet twist to a school project by teaming up with White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Candy Shop Couture to host a fundraiser for the BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital foundation. Brooke Schlase and her classmates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Courtney Von Minden, Anu Bains, Anthony Duong and Jacqueline De Brosien â&#x20AC;&#x201C; chose the hospital for their socialjustice class assignment because of the personal connection they have with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least three out of five of our members have had help from BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up, so we wanted to give back to them because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped us,â&#x20AC;? Schlase said. To ensure the fundraiser would be a success, Schlase teamed up with Candy Shop Couture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where she works when not at school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to combine her event with the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year anniversary on Nov. 26. Owners Dave and Jeannie Dhaliwal donated their store space to be the venue for the event, which will include hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres, champagne and door prizes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with all of the proceeds going to the BCCHF.

THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FISH IN MY BACKYARD?

Did you know there are over 1500 kilometres of streams and creeks all throughout Surrey where salmon and trout live? Visit these places at the right time of the year and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll luck out with seeing spawning salmon make their way upstream to their native creeks. In Bear Creek Park there have been over 900 spawning Chum salmon spotted in one season! In the late winter it seems to be the quietest time in our local streams for seeing fish but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled because this is probably the time of the year when the most salmon are actually in the streams in the gravel as eggs waiting for spring so that they can hatch. If you check out the creeks in the spring, in the calmer pools you might be able to spot the schools of small salmon fry that have freshly emerged from the gravels where their eggs were laid the previous fall. Visit the website to learn about great places to see fish in Surrey! 11771

B.C. Federation of Labourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irene Lanzinger and Jim Sinclair speak at the legislature Wednesday.

Minimum wage still too low: B.C. Fed Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Federation of Labour campaigned for four years for a $10-an-hour minimum wage, and that will be delivered May 1 when B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wage goes to $10.25. But federation president Jim Sinclair visited the legislature last week to tell the B.C. government itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer enough. He wants another increase next fall to $11.25 an hour. That rate is what is needed to keep up with Statistics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowincome cutoff â&#x20AC;? (LICO), Sinclair told reporters. Critics often use LICO as a measure of poverty, although the federal agency says it is not, since it is a relative measure that grows along with inflation and economic growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the minimum wage is $9.50. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second lowest in Canada, still,â&#x20AC;? Sinclair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, if we were at the LICO level, it would be at $11.25 an hour.â&#x20AC;? Premier Christy Clark announced in March that the minimum wage would be raised for the first time in a

decade, and the $6/ hour â&#x20AC;&#x153;training wageâ&#x20AC;? would be abolished. It went from $8 to $8.75 on May 1, and jumped another 75 cents on Nov. 1. A third 75-cent jump takes effect May 1. B.C. Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid met with Sinclair before his news conference Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our promise is, starting in 2012, to look at our policy,â&#x20AC;? MacDiarmid said afterwards. But she would make no commitment beyond next May. Sinclair also blasted what he called Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumbest idea,â&#x20AC;? a lower wage for staff who primarily serve alcohol. That went to $8.50 an hour May 1, $8.75 on Nov. 1 and is set to go to $9 an hour in May 2012. Clark said that measure is similar to the minimum wage system in Ontario, and it reflects higher tips earned by pub, lounge and cabaret workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rationale for this form of discrimination,â&#x20AC;? Sinclair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to anybody else who works in industries where they get tips.â&#x20AC;?

Davey, the singer and composer, born in Britain and raised there by his Nigerian parents, combines a butter-smooth style, incredible vocal range and sensitive, intense projection of poetic lyrics with a magnetic stage presence and charmingly dry sense of humour. He’s a born entertainer who seems to be having as much fun on stage as his audience in the auditorium. He’s performed with such soul and jazz greats as Gladys Knight, Diane Reeves, Patti LaBelle, Al Jarreau, Roberta Flack, Natalie Cole and Roy Hargrove, but after years of dues paying, his explosive live performances are winning fans and attracting great press at the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals and concert halls. His debut at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2009 opened the door for more North American touring, and a documentary about his career, aired on CNN’s African Voices, has inspired a new project, a PBS special to be filmed in the U.S. next spring. The Nov. 25 concert will feature material from his new album, Seven Shades Darker, which will be released internationally in early 2012.

Get Reel Semiahmoo Arts’ Get Reel film series is back with a program of new films from Canada, England, France and Germany. Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre (Miramar Village), the screening is Of Gods And Men, a FrenchAlgerian co-production. Directed by Xavier Beauvois, it’s a real-life-inspired story of eight French Christian monks living in harmony with their Muslim brothers in the mountains of North Africa in the early 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group and fear sweeps through the region, the monks are faced with a momentous decision – should they leave, or should they stay true to their mission and their calling, no matter what happens?

The Academy Award-nominated film has been described by Time Magazine’s Richard Corliss as “a luminous tale of faith and heroism.” As with all presentations in the Get Reel series, the screening will be followed by a discussion led by a guest speaker. Tickets are $10 for members and $11 for the general public. For more information, visit www.semiahmooarts.com

Acclaimed pianist and vocalist Diane Lines will headline her new show ‘Jump!’ in concert, Nov. 25 and 26 at Blue Frog Studios and Performance Centre, 1328 Johnston Rd. Lines, who won new fans when she opened for Alfie Zappacosta at Blue Frog in January, has crafted a celebration of swing, jump-blues and boogie woogie that has already wowed reviewers in Las Vegas, and is scheduled for shows in Florida and Europe in the new year. Described as “a uniquely feminine approach to the era of jump blues” Jump! traces how the fusion of swing, blues and boogiewoogie of the 1940s set the stage for the mainstream rock n’ roll of the 1950s, defining popular music for an entire generation. With a supporting cast of worldclass musicians, Lines recreates the fun and flavour of jump blues with energy, wit and highoctane musicianship, evoking the irresistible atmosphere of a musical party with a personal friend.

A MESSAGE TO ALL RESIDENTS & BUSINESS OWNERS

Do you have a storm drain on or in front of your property? It is important to keep it clear, especially during melting conditions. Blocked storm drains may result in excess accumulation of water along the road area, a situation that could become dangerous if it subsequently freezes. It also helps reduce the potential for ﬂooding of adjacent properties depending on the extent of the blockage along with the amount of melting snow and rain fall.

Andrew Hunt backstops Surrey to back-to-back victories at South Surrey Arena

Eagles in first after sweeping homestand Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles clawed back atop the B.C. Hockey League’s Coastal Conference on the weekend, after winning both games of a two-game homestand. On Friday, Surrey edged last year’s Royal Bank Cup finalist Vernon Vipers – national champions in 2009 and ’10 – 3-2, and followed that with another low-scoring, onegoal victory, beating the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 2-1. One third of the way through the 60-game regular season, the Eagles now sit one point up on the Cowichan Valley Capitals for first place in the conference, with 29 points and a record of 13-5-0-3. “This year, more than any other it seems, the standings are so tight. After every weekend, you look at the standings and you could be first, could be third, or fifth – it’s pretty crazy, how close it is,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “But that said, we’re in first place right now, and got a couple wins at home, so there’s not much to complain about.” Surrey goaltender Andrew Hunt was the star Friday, backstopping the Eagles to victory despite the fact the home team was outshot 35-22 by the visiting Vipers. Hunt’s 34-save performance earned him first-star honours. “(Vernon) had a huge push at the end of the game and threw a lot at the net and Andrew was able to stop them,” Erhart said. “He was big when we needed him to be.” Hunt also benefited from the team’s tighter defensive approach – allowing just three goals in two games – which Erhart said has been the team’s game plan all season. “We got away from it there a little bit the last few weeks, but this weekend, that’s more of the style we want to play,” he said. The lone goal Hunt did let slip past him came on the power-play 8:55 into the second period – off the stick of Marcus Basara to briefly give Vernon a 1-0 lead. Less than five minutes later, however, Colton Mackie tied the contest with a powerplay goal of his own. “Colton’s been playing really well lately, both he and Brett Mulcahy have really stepped up their games and taken advantage of some bigger opportunities,” Erhart said. Tied heading into the third period, Surrey captain Tyler Morley scored a shorthanded goal – his 14th of the year, and his second shorthanded – just 18 seconds into the final frame, and Robert Lindores made it 3-1 two-

Vernon made it close as the clock ticked down – Darren Nowick made it 3-2 with 1:09 left in the game – but the Eagles managed to escape with the win. On Saturday, Hunt again earned first-star honours after stopping 38 of 39 shots on net. Mulcahy gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead near the end of the second period, with assists going to Charles Orzetti and Brandon Morley, and the lead was extended to 2-0 early in the third, when Orzetti scored his seventh of the season, with Brandon Morley again picking up an assist. Bulldogs’ Brandon Halls scored the lone goal for the visitors midway through the third period, on the power play.

The power-play marker was a rare one against the Birds, who own the BCHL’s best penalty-killing percentage at 86.4 per cent. They’re also second in the league with eight shorthanded goals. One-third of the way through the season, Erhart said that has been among his team’s best qualities. “It’s definitely been a major strength of our team so far,” he said. “It’s never our game plan to take that many (offensive) chances when we’re killing penalties, but sometimes you get the opportunity, and we’ve been taking advantage of them by scoring shorthanded.” With two Eagles, Michael Stenerson and Brandon Morley, now returned from the World Junior ‘A’ Challenge, Erhart is looking

forward to having a full lineup together for an extended period. The last few weeks have been “a little bit of mix ‘n’ match” according to the coach. “The biggest thing for us to get all the guys back, and get some lines combinations sorted out,” he said. The Eagles also have one open roster spot, but Erhart said he would be patient with regard to bringing in a player to fill it. “We’ll just try to get the best player available – could be a forward or a defenceman,” he said. “But that being said, defencemen are usually harder to come by later in the season. “We won’t rush into anything though. We want to find the right type of player to fit into our group.”

Rugby showdown postponed The battle for the B.C. Rugby Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last spot in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier league, which was supposed to be played Saturday in South Surrey, has been postponed. The game between the Bayside Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Burnaby Lake elite menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams will now be played this Saturday, 2:30 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park. On Friday afternoon, the game

was moved from South Surrey Athletic Park to Burnaby Lake after the fields at SSAP were closed due to frost and snow. Soon after, the Burnaby Lake fields were also closed, prompting the postponement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works out, because this way we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose our home-field advantage,â&#x20AC;? said Bayside coach Pat Kearney.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we definitely do enjoy playing at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now we can get in a couple more practices before the big showdown.â&#x20AC;? The winner of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will earn the last spot in the BCRU premier circuit this spring, while the losing team will be relegated to the first division. - Nick Greenizan

Kwantlen inconsistent on road Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Kwantlen Eagles womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team earned a split on a season-opening two-game trip to Vancouver Island earlier this month, before dropping two more on the road last weekend. The Eagles posted a 74-69 win over the Camosun Chargers Friday, Nov. 11 in Victoria, before falling 75-47 to the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Sunday, Nov. 13 in Nanaimo. Kwantlen came back from a 53-48 halftime deficit for their victory, the first of the 2011-12 Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) season. Anna Work, a third-year transfer from Everett, Wash., led the team in her first game as an Eagle with 16 points and seven steals.

Also making an impact were two first-year players from Holy Cross High School, Jeannine Yngresso and Jessica Villadiego, as well as Cassie Micona of Mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jessica played amazing defense on Camosunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best scorer,â&#x20AC;? said Eagles assistant coach Emily Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie came off the bench and hit back to back threes to put us ahead, and Anna and Jeannine came through with huge steals at the end of the game.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team also made the trip to Vancouver Island, and came up short in a close game Friday before falling 81-51 to the Mariners on Saturday. Kwantlen took a 43-41 lead into the second half against the Chargers, but were outscored by 15 points in the third quarter. They exploded for 32 fourth-quarter

points, but came up short 97-92. A.J. Adusei of North Delta was the top scorer for the Eagles on the weekend, scoring 72 points in the two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to find production, points-wise, from the other players,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Stefon Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, I was proud of our defense, only giving up 81 points. But there are two sides to the game of basketball, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we get back into the gym and get extra shots up outside of our regular practice time this week.â&#x20AC;? Last weekend, the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team lost twice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 69-61 to the Capilano Blues and 80-61 to the Quest University Kermodes. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, meanwhile, went 1-1 with an 89-84 loss to Capilano and a 93-79 win over Quest.

I have had several people in the community tell me they saw my ad in the WOMEN IN BUSINESS feature which proved very beneﬁcial for me and I plan to purchase advertising in other Peace Arch News initiatives. The new business obtained from these ads has more than paid for itself! I have found the staff to be excellent at their job, very knowledgeable and generous of their time. They truly are a community based newspaper. I would highly recommend advertising in the Peace Arch News as it provides good value, good exposure and high readership.

ADVERTISING province-wide with bcclassified.com 604-575-5555

International Gems at Windsor Square in South Surrey has been using the Peace Arch News now for 23 years. They have had success in growing their business through the display advertising in the Peace Arch News. We have had customers who have cut out the ad from the Peace Arch News and brought it in to our store to make sure we were aware that they had seen our ad and taken advantage of what we had advertised. We had a customer recently who did this in our Repair Event ad and had never shopped with us before. They brought a copy of the ad in and had us repair their jewellery and are now doing a custom piece with us. They live in the newer area that Peace Arch News distributes to which is close to North View Golf Course. We had a customer recently who saw our ad for the repair event and reminded us that she started shopping with us through seeing our ads in the Peace Arch 23 years ago and was one of our ﬁrst customers. We continue to use the Peace Arch News as we feel it is the best Newspaper for this geographical area and we are very happy at the response we have had and continue to have through display advertising. Results and return are what businesses look for today and as the president I can honestly say that we enjoy great results and returns from our advertising in the Peace Arch News. Thank you Peace Arch News.
