Legal action targets controlled-species regulations

Opponents of B.C.’s regulations that ban the exhibition of many reptiles and other restricted exotic pets are challenging the province in court. Jozef Demcak and his wife, Bibiana, say they’ve lost income because they are now barred from taking their six pythons on a touring roadshow that was their main business for decades. Demcak claims the shows were educational and the crackdown by the province has rendered the couple virtually homeless. “We lost everything,” the former school teacher said. “All our savings and livelihood. It has been horror upon horror.” The former Richmond residents now live in a trailer at Cinemazoo in South Surrey, where their snakes and a monitor lizard are kept under permit but can’t be exhibited. The Demcaks says nobody can visit them lest they see the forbidden reptiles. Their challenge of the Controlled Alien Species Regulation – which covers dangerous animals from crocodiles to big cats – is being

heard by B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster over the next two weeks. Mike Hopcraft, an Aldergrove reptile rescuer who supported his now-closed Abbotsford operation with shows and presentations, is backing the Demcaks. They contend the changes were made illegally, with insufficient consultation and without actual legislation. “We’re hoping the whole thing gets overturned,” Hopcraft said. “We all agree there should be some sort of regulations in place to limit who can get these animals. But when you put a ban on education and rescue, it goes too far.” see page 4

South Langley crash killed school bus driver on his way to work

Charge recommended after dump-truck fatality Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Langley RCMP show vehicular damage.

Langley RCMP have recommended a criminal charge be laid against the driver of a dump truck involved in the head-on collision that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss. Const. Bob Johnston confirmed Friday a charge was forwarded to Crown counsel “about a month” ago. He would not say what charge was recommended, citing the ongoing process, and he could not predict when a decision might be made – although he is hopeful it will come “very quickly.” “It’s kind of in their court right now,” he said. “We’ve provided everything that we could to

them as far as the investigation goes.” Neiss, 59, died just after 5:30 a.m. Jan. 18, when his Ford Explorer was hit head-on in the 19800-block of 16 Avenue by a Sterling dump truck that had crossed a doubleyellow line to pass a small white car. Witnesses reported seeing the truck weaving in and out of traffic in an aggressive manner prior to the collision. The force of the impact compressed the front section of the Explorer into less than half its width. The dump truck and its driver, a 62-yearold Burnaby man, were virtually unscathed. The next day, RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont described the collision as one of the worst

he’d seen, and told reporters Neiss “had absolutely no chance.” Neiss had been headed to Langley at the time, where he had worked as a school bus driver since 2003. Friday, Johnston remembered the crash as “devastating.” “It was pretty brutal, something that could have… been totally avoided.” Pointing to the time frame of the recent trial of Brent Parent – the Langley man accused of running down Abbotsford resident Silas O’Brien on March 13, 2008 – Johnston said it is “not at all” unusual that charges in the Neiss file have not been laid yet.

White Rock Museum and Archives’ display debuts today

Student art showcased Alex Browne Arts Reporter

There’s always something engaging and inspiring about the art work of young people, and White Rock Museum and Archives plans to celebrate their creativity and imagination on a regular basis. Starting this month the museum is officially launching its Art Wall program, designed to showcase art produced by students of both elementary and secondary schools on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. First display, by students of Chantrell Creek Elementary, will be launched by a one-hour reception at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at the museum, 14970 Marine Dr. A dedicated seven-foot by eight-foot wall in the newly refurbished museum has been made available for the displays, which are being co-ordinated by volunteers Nancy Alliston and Linda Thomas. The wall will highlight works from each school for two months at a time, and the art can include just about any medium, short of heavy sculpture, including paintings, drawings, three-dimensional, mixed-media, fibre art and photography. Work to be featured is selected by the schools, although the museum has final dis-

cretion over what is hung. The only other condition placed on the program is that the museum would like to see the theme of each display, wherever possible, compliment the theme of the current museum exhibit. “All of the schools in White Rock and South Surrey will be invited to participate in the program,” said Alliston, who added the next scheduled displays will feature art from Elgin Park Secondary (January through February) and Southridge Senior School (March and April). “It’s very exciting, because we could be featuring work by a child who is really interested in art and likes to do it, but has never had the opportunity to show it in public,” she said. “I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the pieces I’ve seen so far.” Alliston added that she and Thomas, who are recent volunteers, were encouraged to take on the program by museum director Sharon Oldaker. “Neither Linda or I have ever done anything like this before, but we’re learning as we go,” she added. “It’s amazing how things have fallen into place.” For more information on the Art Wall program, call 604-541-2221.

news Volunteer brigade purchases truck for $10,000 to help protect island population of 700,000

White Rock fire sale stokes Philippines Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock’s decommissioned fire engine may no longer be active in this city – but it won’t be sitting idle for long. Fire Chief Phil Lemire confirmed Friday the 1990 open-crew-cab engine is destined for a new life in the Philippines, following its sale for $10,000 to the Rotary Club of Cebu West for use by the Cebu Filipino Chinese Volunteer Fire Brigade. “From our point of view, it was certainly good to see the vehicle going somewhere where it’s still going to be maintained and actively serve the residents of a community for some time yet,” Lemire said. “The last thing we wanted to see was the

truck not sold and start to deteriorate.” The 21-year-old truck was listed for sale following the arrival of a new engine in June. It remained in active use by White Rock firefighters until two weeks ago, Lemire said. In Cebu – a narrow, 225-kilometre long island with a population of about 700,000 – it will be a welcome addition to the crew’s equipment stock, he said. Lemire said the self-sustaining Cebu brigade supplements a government-funded fire department. From chatting with a Rotary member, a representative of Firefighters Without Borders and his own research, he learned fires in the province “can be quite devastating.” “I imagine it has to do with their density

and construction type and response all combined,” he said. “They had four fires this past July that displaced close to 1,000 residents.” The engine’s sale marks the first time in recent history that a White Rock truck will travel such a distance. Two others remain in active service in Three Valley Gap, a heritage ghost town located between Sicamous and Revelstoke. And a third now sits at an old highways yard on the other side of Revelstoke. The 1990 engine is currently in storage in Richmond, awaiting shipment to Cebu, which is expected “within the next few weeks.” Proceeds from its sale will be returned to White Rock’s general revenues.

Heroics recognized

Officers honoured for valour Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Three years ago, five officers were called to a domestic dispute in Surrey to find a man had shot two family members. It was Aug. 19, 2008, when the officers arrived at the Surrey home to find the man had used a high-powered rifle on his wife and daughter and was in the midst of a fight with his son. The officers were able to secure Robinson the house, and arrested 54-year-old Harpaljit Sandhu, who later pleaded guilty to killing his wife and seriously injuring his Uzelac daughter. He was sentenced to just over nine years in prison a year later. The officers, Sgt. Mark Baxter, Cpl. Chris Robinson, Cpl. William Prasad Turner, Const. Atish Prasad and an unnamed officer received Awards of Valour on Nov. 17 at the the 31st annual Police Honours Night. Receiving an Award of Meritorious Service was Cpl. Jonn Uzelac, who, while off-duty, rescued a suicidal male attempting to jump off the Pattullo Bridge. Sixty-nine officers in B.C. were recognized for valour, meritorious and outstanding service.

Falcon’s goal of balanced budget in 2013 in jeopardy

B.C. deficit forecast tops $3 billion Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Expected revenues to the B.C. government fell by $303 million in the second quarter of the fiscal year, due mainly to instability around the world, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday. The drop in revenues will make it more difficult to meet the government’s target of balancing the budget by 2013. Falcon said he will wait until January, when the finance ministry has to finalize its next budget, to see if that target can still be met. Coupled with a $30 million jump in spending, the latest figures bring the deficit forecast

The baby was being bathed in a sink when it kicked the hot water tap, sending scalding water onto its torso.

news notes

Rules â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;create underground marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from page 1 Only a tiny fraction of exotic pet owners in B.C. have obtained the required permits to keep their restricted or prohibited animals. New imports are banned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is create a huge underground market,â&#x20AC;? Hopcraft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many people in B.C. who have these animals but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have permits for them.â&#x20AC;? Hopcraft questioned why the province allows â&#x20AC;&#x153;harmlessâ&#x20AC;? boa

constrictors to be legally kept until they grow to three metres long, at which point they are banned with other big snakes like anacondas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to ban something, ban it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow people to breed something if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eventually going to become illegal.â&#x20AC;? The province cited public safety when it outlawed dangerous exotic animals, after repeated

escapes of snakes from homes and the 2007 death of a woman killed by her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pet tiger at Bridge Lake. Some banned species â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like primates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are of concern over their potential to spread disease. Hopcraft initially tried to get zoo accreditation for his reptile rescue centre but gave up because of the cost. Most of his reptiles were sent to Ontario, while a few ended up at the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

news Cloverdale tradition under new management

Changes for flea market Jennifer Lang Black Press

It’s the end of an era – and the start of a whole new chapter for the Cloverdale Flea Market, a Sunday tradition for bargain hunters for more than 30 years. The flea market is undergoing a change in management, said Dave Melenchuk, general manager of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, which operates the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. The market will continue to operate without interruption as incoming manager Andy James operator takes over Dec. 4, Melenchuk said. Contrary to the sign erected on the fairgrounds and newspaper ads stating the flea market was closing “forever” Nov. 27 after 34 years in operation, “We will be open,” Melenchuk said. “It will be business as usual.” Visitors will notice some changes during the transition – the market will be evolving and expanding in the new year – but existing vendors “will be safe,” Melenchuk said. “They’ll all have a place to sell.” The association has been trying to expand and enhance the long-running flea market, which boasts a weekly attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, in order to appeal to a wider customer base. In the spring, the association issued a request for proposals from qualified operators interested assuming operation, marketing and management of a new, enhanced weekend market on the site. A number of proposals came in, but in the end – and following a petition circulated by some of the vendors on site – the association decided to work with the existing operator, whose lease expired some time ago, Melenchuk said, noting the operator later gave his notice effective Nov. 27. Recently, Melenchuk has spoken with many vendors, explaining the changes in store, and

The popular Cloverdale Flea Market is under new management. emphasizing that the flea market is not closing down. “They’re excited,” he said. “They realize there needs to be a bit of a fresh look.” The hope is to build on the existing vendors and add new attractions, including entertainment, food, buskers and even the occasional auction in order to draw more customers. “The ultimate goal is to bring more people to the market,” Melenchuk said. James noted the market

will undergo a series of improvements, beginning with a website where vendors can register and customers can find maps, directions and details about the market. “The plan is to keep things running smoothly, gradually adding attractions and services to enhance the market experience for customers,” James said. “I want this to be a family destination on Sundays, a place to take the kids and spend a few hours and a few bucks.”

editorial

Transit report puts cart before horse

ehicle levies, road pricing, distance-based car insurance… sound familiar? The notion of dinging drivers with added fees to help fund transit improvements has reared its fearsome head again, this time in the form of a report commissioned by the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association. The report, titled Leveling the Playing Field, argues road expansion capital costs tend to be under-scrutinized compared to transit spending, and driving in general enjoys “perverse subsidies” that must be overcome. The report offers a lot of great ideas for easing traffic gridlock in Surrey, including creating a network of HOV lanes for buses and ridesharers; utilizing existing rail lines to connect town centres; improved cycling routes; and this herculean task that is staggering in its apparent simplicity: “Make public transit faster than driving.” The report’s means for all this? Two words: User fees. That means transportation levies to the tune of $65 to $165 per vehicle and paying more to travel long distances (say, from Surrey to Richmond for the daily commute). This taxpayer pile-on is patently unfair – and backwards. If the intent of motorist user fees is to encourage increased transit use, shouldn’t the transit alternative actually exist before wielding the big stick? TransLink’s South of Fraser area transit plan (note that key word – plan) calls for an extra 600 buses to be added here. Eventually. TransLink is also preparing to add a B-Line express bus service on King George Boulevard – in the next year. And there’s talk of SkyTrain extensions… someday. In other words, if you’re one of the people who chose Surrey for its lower housing costs and business-friendly climate, but still work in a neighbouring community and find yourself with no choice but to drive because there is no realistic alternative, tough luck. Fork over more dough and sit tight waiting for the improvements. We’ve been patient enough. Surrey residents contribute $160 million a year to TransLink through gas tax, property tax and transit fares, but TransLink only spends $135 to $146 million on transit service here, or about 90 to 95 cents out of every dollar it collects in Surrey. Punishing South-of-Fraser residents for their lack of transit participation when there is little transit in which to participate is discriminatory and just plain wrong.

So far this week you’ve said… yes 71% no 29% 64 responding “access” that suggest children are to be fought over as if they are property. Bond also pointed to B.C.’s harsh new administrative penalties for drinking and driving, which have kept most routine impaired cases out of court. Police have the authority to impound vehicles and impose heavy fines on the spot, when drivers fail a roadside breath test or even blow in the “warn” range of 0.05 to 0.08 per cent. Bond points proudly to a 40-per-cent decrease in alcohol-related vehicle deaths in the first year. Of course this is being challenged as an infringement of the right to go to court and try various drunk-driving defences. A judge will soon decide if the hazards of impaired driving justify such an infringement. Justice Bauman acknowledges that courts have to clean up procedures too. Set aside the baseless conspiracy theories around the Dave Basi-Bobby Virk saga, and you have two small-time crooks whose lawyers were allowed to spin the case out for seven years in a tangle of evidence disclosure demands. As the legislature adjourned, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson joined previous mayors, from Conservative Party member Sam Sullivan to Mike Harcourt, in calling for marijuana to be legalized and regulated. Not on my watch, replied Prime Minister Stephen Harper. So instead, we’re getting de facto legalization of crack cocaine.

Whose fault is it anyway? Editor: As a newcomer to the White Rock/South Surrey region, I thought I’d write about my initial experience with the ICBC. I’m from Ontario, and have been driving for more than 50 years. My only experience with car insurance has been from three incidents in parking lots, when the car was parked and I was not in the car, and twice when the car was stolen from outside my house. I think of myself as a careful driver, who’s never had a driving accident. Yesterday, I met with ICBC to set up my B.C. insurance. It appears that the “no-fault” accident I had last year – while my car was parked at a shopping centre while I was shopping, and was hit be a careless driver – is considered to be, by ICBC, an “at-fault” accident by me. Apparently, Section 13 of an ICBC document states that any “no-fault” claim from Ontario and two other provinces is deemed to be an “at-fault” if any money was paid by any insurance company to anyone. To note, it cost about $1,600 to repair my front bumper and headlight assembly, which was paid by another insurance company, and I was deemed to not be “at-fault”; my cost was $0. As a result, my new B.C. insurance had a five per cent one-year discount instead of the significant discount I was expecting from reading news articles about B.C.’s famed “no-fault” insurance and discounts for “good” drivers. So now I’m deemed to be a “poor driver,” and I must wait for several years to prove that I’m reformed while slowly heading towards the significant discount I had expected. As one of my in-laws warned me before I came: “B.C. stands for Bring Cash.” It would be nice if the law was written to ensure that someone was actually driving when an accident occurred. Ron Elliott, Surrey

Issues ignored in White Rock Editor: Re: Balwin to lead incumbents, plus two, Nov. 22. White Rock, again, continues to confuse. Supposedly, everyone cares, but only 28.7 of the eligible voters voted. Mayoral candidate Lynne Sinclair was “surprised by Baldwin’s win.” Maybe if she had been reading the letters to the Peace Arch News instead of tooting her own horn, she wouldn’t have been surprised. Coun. Helen Fathers writes comments online under an alias and gets re-elected. Go figure. And the question on everyone’s mind is ignored by all of the candidates: The fact White Rock is not financially sustainable as a city,

and that it needs to recognize and accept it is a neighbourhood and not a city that needs to become a part of Surrey again. It is simply not a question of “if ” but “when.” Bill Phelps, Surrey Q In the wake of our municipal election, I’d like to thank Larry Anschell for running for mayor. I was shocked at the low amount of votes he garnered, as I couldn’t understand why our city’s citizens wouldn’t want someone with insight, vision and integrity to lead. Anschell sees White Rock’s potential to be a first-class cultural centre. I applaud his idea to start an artist’s co-operative here. Banff has one, which is a wonderful experience to take in amidst the plethora of tacky souvenir stores. This Semiahmoo Peninsula is naturally a beautiful place to live, and it has so much potential to offer more culturally. Anschell actually has a plan on how to support our artists and didn’t just pay lip service to the arts

to get that coveted seat. As it stands, we’re back to the old guard where the candidate attacks and insults his opponents during the campaign, then has the audacity to extend an olive branch and ask people to “get along” now that he’s in the top seat. What kind of an example is that? I hope Anschell will run for mayor again in three years and that people will take the time to become informed. A 28 per cent turnout at the polls is not enough. Diane Cadieux, White Rock

Four reasons they’re dumb Editor: Smart now means stupid… B.C. Hydro “Smart” meters. Who exactly are they good for? Not us. Why? Smart Meters compromise security. A perfectly good little meter being replaced by technology that divides us, leaves us vulnerable

and needs constant upgrades at, of course, our expense. Smart meters invade privacy. So much concern over a few people trying to occupy Wall Street. Meanwhile, the current government, and whatever hands control it, swoops in and tries to occupy every home in B.C., tracking our every moment. Smart meters jeopardize health. Listen to respected researchers and scientists, Dr. Magda Havas, Dr. George Carlo, Dr. David Carpenter, Dr. Stephen Sinatra… The list could go on and on. These people are heroes for speaking the truth at great cost to themselves. Smart meters raise costs. A billion dollars would go a long way to improving our infrastructure. A billion dollars could bury an awful lot of power lines. No more outages due to falling branches. But someone wanted to sell meters and so, guess who is told to pay. Now, we’re back to “smart” really means “stupid.” When will we wake up? Tanesa Kiso, White Rock

Teacher Marna Branigan and about a dozen others from T.E. Scott Elementary rallied at the school Thursday at one of three ‘actions’ planned by the Surrey Teachers Association to draw attention to negotiations (see page 9).

No reason ‘net zero’ can’t be met Editor: Re: Teachers trying to stay positive, Nov. 24 letters. The assertions made by the Surrey teachers in their letter to the editor are incorrect and misleading. The objective of the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) from the outset of bargaining has been, and remains, achievement of a negotiated collective agreement with the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), as we were able to do in 2006. However, we have been at the bargaining table since March 1, we have engaged in over 55 bargaining sessions to date, negotiations have moved at a glacial pace and the BCTF is on strike. The BCTF continues to maintain $2.1 billion of proposals on the table – an unrealistic approach at any time and particularly during a net zero compensation mandate period when two-thirds of other public sector employees have been able to craft creative solutions with their employers to conclude collective agreements under the mandate. There is no reason why BCPSEA and the BCTF should not be able to do the same. They also state that “BCPSEA is also making threats,

to cut our salary…” That is incorrect. On Oct. 26, BCPSEA filed an application with the Labour Relations Board to request that the LRB vary the ‘essential services order’ to require teachers to prepare and distribute report cards, and require the BCTF to reimburse each school district monthly in an amount equal to 15 per cent of the total gross salaries and benefits costs paid to or on behalf of BCTF members by the school district for that month. Currently, the BCTF is carrying out its strike action without any financial consequences on the union or its members. This results in an imbalance, with the union exerting pressure on boards of education with no corresponding pressure on the union. We are awaiting the LRB decision on our application. Further, in a move designed to focus discussions at the table, at the Nov. 22 bargaining session BCPSEA tabled a revised package of proposals that included the withdrawal of eight proposals previously tabled by the employer. We invited the BCTF to make a similar move, but our request was declined. Melanie Joy, BCPSEA board of directors chair

Ex-wife AN EVENING with found N O S T R E B O R B O B guilty Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey woman charged with plotting to kill her ex-husband with the help of two hit men has been found guilty by a Vancouver Supreme Court jury. Liza Joylene Belcourt was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Her co-accused, the men she hired – Port Coquitlam’s Jordan Joseph Doiron and Langley’s David Dean Laidlaw – were also found guilty of the same charge. After a five-week trial, the jury came down with the guilty verdict Thursday, after less than a day of deliberations. Belcourt’s estranged common-law husband Richard Noniewicz was shocked when he learned from police in 2009 that Belcourt was planning to have him killed. He said he was in a commonlaw relationship with Belcourt for 2½ years, but had been separated for five years. A sentencing date for Belcourt will be set Nov. 30. – with files from Dan Ferguson

Surrey teachers protest Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A group of teachers from Surrey’s T.E. Scott Elementary braved the cold wind and blowing rain Thursday afternoon, waving paper signs reading “B.C. Kids Just Can’t Wait” and “Teachers Want a Fair Deal.” The group – on the suggestion of their union, the Surrey Teachers’ Association – were hoping to draw attention to the fact a contract has still not been negotiated. “We feel as a group we need to get out there and be more visible,” said Kathy Jickling, a Grade 6/7 teacher at T.E.

Jickling said the government is “absolutely refusing” to bargain in good faith. The teachers outside T.E.

Teachers are being asked to attend the school board’s inaugural meeting Dec. 8 in hopes of garnering attention. “We want to make sure the new school board knows that teachers are very concerned about the situation in Surrey,” reads an STA memo. “We are counting on them to be active advocates for public education…”

Outgoing mayor cites land aquisition, town-centre vision among proudest accomplishments

‘Absolute honour’ to lead city: Ferguson Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

erving as White Rock’s mayor has been a good – albeit sometimes challenging – run, Catherine Ferguson said in her final address to council this month. The single-term mayor described her past three years as head of the city as “an absolute honour and an incredible learning experience that I will carry with me forever.” “It has made me a wiser, more patient, more tolerant person, and I think I’m better-equipped now than I was when I started to contribute to the world in a much more in-depth and understanding way,” Ferguson said. Ferguson, who was elected mayor in 2008 after one term as a councillor, announced last month she would not pursue another term in the chair. The following week, she was named as the new executive director of the White Rock/South Surrey Hospice Society. In bidding farewell to citizens Nov. 14, she named several council efforts of which she is proud: creation of the Town Centre Vision; a revitalization bylaw; and completing ownership of the city block on which city hall, RCMP, fire services and the library are located, through purchase of the parcel occupied by the First Church of Christ, Scientist. “We now own the entire city block. You, actually, own the entire city block, as residents,” she said. “I think that was a very smart move… and I think it will be up to the next council as to what’s done or not done with that. But we have options that we have never had before.” Ferguson – who actively campaigned for eventual successor Wayne Baldwin – encouraged citizens not to dwell on the loss of access to Semiahmoo Park, which was fenced off by Semiahmoo First Nation late last year following discovery of a growing sinkhole on the park’s east side. “I think it’s very important

Other highlights Ferguson identified included strengthening the city’s relationships with Semiahmoo First Nation and the City of Surrey; finalization of a brand for the city – after one suggested by consultants during her term as a councillor was soundly rejected; the purchase of additional parkland; refurbishment of the White Rock Museum & Archives; maintaining a debt-free status

despite a recession; and increased development. With regard to the latter, Ferguson said there is still “a lot” of work to be done, and barriers to be removed. Ferguson’s time on council hasn’t

been without controversy. Issues that have stirred the pot include a January 2011 decision by council to allow Royal Avenue trees to be cut for views, and comments made by Ferguson herself in August 2010 after photographs

of past mayors and councils were removed from city hall walls. Other storms that Ferguson weathered included a court case launched shortly after the 2008 election that successfully challenged then-councillor James Coleridge’s win, resulting in the election of returning councillor Grant Meyer; the 2009 decision to consider contracting the city’s fire services to Surrey; and the August 2010 discovery of E. coli in the city’s water system. While Ferguson steered away from highlighting any negatives during her presentation, she acknowledged such moments contributed to what was ❝Despite our achieved. challenges, “Although we have there has accomplished a been some difficult great deal.❞ times on our Catherine Ferguson council, I have to say that through good and challenge, there’s growth and those learnings have come as a result of that,” she said. “Despite our challenges, we have accomplished a great deal.” This week, Ferguson said she is looking forward to having “a little bit of time off,” but confessed she has not thought about how it will feel to no longer be the city’s mayor. Her last official act is to take place Monday, when she passes the chain of office to Baldwin in a 7 p.m. ceremony at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.). “I don’t think I’ve completely processed everything, because it’s been a very busy time,” she said. “In my head, I’m in two jobs.” Looking ahead, Ferguson allbut-promised she would return to politics, although she couldn’t say when or at what level. “I’ve been bitten by the bug and it started a long, long time ago,” she said. “The world is full of opportunities and I like to leave myself open to it all.”

SPCA in desperate need The Surrey SPCA is in urgent need of towels, blankets and sheets to help keep animals warm as the temperature drops. Although there is always a need for the items, the Surrey SPCA is particularly desperate after a ringworm outbreak brought into the shelter through stray kittens in September forced staff to close until late October. Before re-opening, the shelter had to allocate funds to treat the animals, leaving them with little to spend on bedding, and the staff have adopted a rigorous housekeeping regiment to ensure no further outbreaks occur. “Just to be cautious with making sure there is nothing remaining to spread the disease, they have to launder constantly and need to change the bedding constantly,” said SPCA communications manager Lori Chortyk. However, the constant cleaning makes bedding scarce for the animals at times, and the onslaught of cold weather only makes the situation worse. “They’re shivering, even with the heating we have,” Chortyk said. “If anyone has towels or bedding to spare, the Surrey SPCA would be so grateful for the help.” The Surrey SPCA currently houses 99 cats, 88 kittens, 31 dogs and 8 puppies, bringing the grand total of animals to 275 who need bedding and other supplies. The shelter is also asking for other donations including newspaper to use as bedding for the smaller animals, treats and wet food for dogs and cats, clumping litter, toys and yoga mats – which

Breakfast Club fundraisers ask for more help Warming hearts, filling bellies An annual effort to help fill the tummies of less fortunate students at a North Surrey elementary school has raised about $1,200. Organizers of the Winter Warmup event, held Nov. 17 in South Surrey, said the total fell short of their $2,000 goal, but they are hopeful word of the cause will inspire further donations. “We still have a ways to go,” said Tania Dusevic. “We are hoping that some more dona-

tions will come in.” In its third year, the Winter Warmup – an evening of soupmaking and fundraising – got its start from a group of friends talking over coffee about the need to do “something” for others, Dusevic said. They agreed whatever it was should benefit children. First considering a focus on children in Africa, they decided their energies could make an equally important impact closer to home. A school was identified with help of Surrey School District

officials, and a visit with staff, teachers and volunteers was arranged. Dusevic said the principal told her, Sherri Fostvelt, Kristy Davis and Lara Mullin that a Breakfast Club at the school fed 30 to 40 students who arrived for class hungry every day. It’s led by a childcare worker and supported by volunteers and local firefighters, who help out by supplying dry goods such as granola bars, oatmeal and cereals. Learning there was little budget for perishables, the women

Students give school spirit a style boost Sarah Massah

wo Elgin Park Secondary students are wearing their pride on their sleeves – and pants – with their self-designed school attire. Blake Hawkins and Magnus Rashid said they decided to boost school spirit with a clothing line consisting of black and grey sweatpants and sweatshirts that would ❝We decided be available there was a to “everyday” huge void in students. “We decided the market.❞ there was a Blake Hawkins huge void in the market of selling student it to the regular students in Grade 8 through 12,” said Hawkins, who is student council president and co-president of the business executive club with Rashid. The Grade 12 students began drawing up their designs which they kept simple, paying homage to the Nike swoosh. “We came up with three fins, the biggest one representing the older students, helping out the younger students and then the middle fin represents the mid-age student,” Hawkins said. Once the design was complete, the two began to drum up interest

Elgin Park students Blake Hawkins and Magnus Rashid have developed a new clothing line for their school. with a Twitter page and posters at the school. After seeing there was a market for the clothes, the next step was having a finished product, which meant bartering to get the best price, said Rashid.

“We had to go to different companies and work with them, comparing prices and letting them know we are shopping around,” Rashid said. Once the sweatpants and

sweatshirts were ready, the boys displayed the clothes, with help from the school, in the common area and the main office. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, said Rashid.

“They like all the gear, I mean there isn’t too much to not like about it,” Rashid said. “You can even mix and match the colours.” According to Rashid and Hawkins, the reaction has been so good there will be an expansion of the line to include T-shirts, tanktops, long sleeve shirts and gymwear. And keeping up with the business trends, the two have decided to focus on a green angle, which is why they have created a design for reusable, eco-friendly bags to help eliminate the use of plastic and paper bags for lunches. With all the merchandise offered, the students are set to make a sizable profit, which Hawkins said will go right back to the school “It’s going back into the clubs and the school trips, we’re helping to fund all these different things,” Hawkins said. For the two students, who are both considering a career in business, the process – and success – of the project has been a rewarding experience. “You always hear about people thinking of stuff for their school, but then to go out and actually do it and finish it, it’s pretty cool,” Rashid said. The clothing line is being sold for $40 per piece and is available to all students at Elgin Park Secondary.

Compass Senior Services Inc.

hroughout our lifetimes, we encounter many important transitions, from entering school to welcoming a child, buying or selling a house or, sadly, losing a loved one. To help us through lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journeys, we often consult with professionals such as lawyers, accountants, doctors and counsellors, who share their knowledge and expertise and create a level of comfort and ease when facing tough obstacles.

So why not turn to a caring professional to lend a helping hand with eldercare issues? Alison Anderson, founder of Compass Senior Services Inc., provides an array of services to assist seniors and their families with exploring housing and lifestyle options, transitioning to a new nest or facilitating an estate. With a focus on making her clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; transitions seamless and stress-free, Anderson helps with all facets of

moving, organizing, sorting and homestaging, always assuring that her clients are comfortably settled into their new lifestyle. After a two-decade career in real estate, Anderson launched Compass Senior Services in 2009, after she witnessed some of the difficulties that friends of her parents were having when it came time for them to sell their family homes and downsize. see page 21

Lend a helping hand to those in need this season The holidays are fast approaching, which for many people, means time spent with family and friends sharing the joy of the holiday spirit throughout the community. For many seniors on the Peninsula, the holidays also present an opportunity to get out of the house and spend some time giving back to the community we all know and love by volunteering. There’s certainly no shortage of groups that could use an extra helping hand this time of year. Sources White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank will be looking for volunteers to help

fill its staff during extended hours. Starting Dec. 1, the food bank will be open six days a week and will require 50 volunteers to help the 70 current volunteers with weighing, organizing and collecting. For those who cannot volunteer this year, donating food items is a big help. Sources provides recipients with enough food for two days per week, making it imperative that the food is as nutritious as possible, as many people living on a low income do not have access to enough nutritious foods to meet their health needs. The Peace Arch Hospital is a community hub on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, helping countless residents during their most difficult times. For those who want to give back to the foundation, there are a number of different ways to do so. One way to consider is through donating securities to the Peace Arch Hopspital and Community Health Foundation. In 2006, the changes to the federal tax code provided tax incentives for gifts of securities by eliminating taxable capital gains on publicly trade stocks,

A share transfer form is available from the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s website (www. peacearchhospital.com) and can be sent to the investment advisor who arranges the transfer. Those interested in volunteering can also begin the application process online. For more information on how to help go to http://www.

peacearchhospital.com/ The White Rock/South Surrey Hospice thrift store is looking for volunteers during the busy holiday season. Many of the regular volunteers are away with family and travel commitments this time of year, opening up a gap that needs to be filled in the store. There is a selection of positions available, all require a minimum of one four-hour shift per week and regular attendance for one year.

Volunteers are needed to receive, sort and price goods in the stock room; work with customers and refill shelves and racks; create a welcoming environment for customers; help as cashiers (related experience is preferred) Donations to the hospice society are also gratefully accepted. For more information about volunteering, call Ann at the store 604-538-7600.

Stay healthy for holidays Hospital visits are a strain on more than just the wallet for seniors; they can also affect their quality of life and health. Seniors who require a visit to the hospital following an injury or health threat often experience speedier recoveries once they’ve returned home to a less stressful environment with a lower risk of infection from other hospital germs. Close to 80 per cent of seniors in Canada choose to live at home instead of entering a care facility according to Statistics Canada, leaving the responsibility of their health and wellbeing in their own hands. Unfortunately, house calls by doctors are a thing of the past and our population has been conditioned to rely upon already strained hospital resources. However, there are steps seniors can take to reduce their chances of falling ill or injuring themselves over the fall and winter months. Regular exercise prevents and eases common diseases among seniors like osteoporosis and arthritis, as well as strengthening the body against accidents like falling. It has also been shown to help fight off depression, especially among seniors who live alone. Safety precautions in your home can decrease the event of an accident and subsequent hospital visit. Making easily accessible routes through your home

Eating healthy, exercising and taking safety precautions can help keep you out of the hospital this time of year. that avoid stairs or badly lit hallways, and removing tripping hazards from around the area and installing easily accessible phones (for example, placing one near the bed) are a few easy ways to start. Proper nutrition is important to staying healthy and fighting off disease and a balanced diet can help with conditions common in seniors. A study conducted at the University of Quebec has shown that diets high in omega-3 fatty acids can slow down the progress of Parkinson’s disease. Ingesting food that contains harmful bacteria can also take a greater toll on a senior’s health than it would on a younger person, so steer clear of badly prepared food.

Christmas Day meal a tradition in White Rock

Dinner seeks volunteers Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Sometimes success has its own challenges. Thanks to the efforts of many dedicated volunteers, a community Christmas Day Dinner has brightened the lives of those alone in White Rock over the holiday season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or simply those who enjoy getting together for some special bonding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for well over 30 years. But now the event (a fixture at White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First United Church hall every Dec. 25), is opening up its appeal for volunteers to the community at large. Those who want to help make the event happen should contact Sources Volunteer Services (604-5424357) as soon as possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the cut-off date for volunteers this year is Dec. 2, Diane Preston and Liz Cowley of the organizing committee said. Everyone who applies will be contacted back during the week of Dec. 5, they added. There are two reasons for the appeal, they noted. Because the Christmas Day Dinner has been running such a long time, there has been some inevitable turnover â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly in such key jobs as volunteer drivers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also become apparent that there are others in the community who are eager to become involved, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to connect with the committee in time to participate in earlier years. Even though the appeal is to the wider community, Preston and Cowley said, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hoping to hear from those loyal

volunteers who have given their commitment and support over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure that all the long-time volunteers know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still welcome,â&#x20AC;? Preston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only need about 54 volunteers for Christmas Day itself, and about as many people to help prepare the hall on Christmas Eve,â&#x20AC;? Cowley said. The jobs are numerous and at every skill level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from people to decorate the hall and peel vegetables and hardy souls to move and tables and chairs on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a need not only for servers, but also kitchen helpers, dish

washers and, at the end of the day, people to help with clean up and the inevitable chaos of a mass departure of guests. Some families volunteer as a way of sharing the Christmas spirit together, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a great way of teaching children about the importance of community service, Preston and Cowley said. It may be hard work, but the rewards are indisputable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volunteers get to have Christmas dinner too,â&#x20AC;? Preston noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better feeling than when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving the place at the end of it, and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen all those happy faces,â&#x20AC;? added Cowley.

news Chief judges warn of threat to justice from cuts

Courts near ‘tipping point’ Black Press

The top judge of the B.C. Supreme Court has issued a rare warning that the province’s justice system is critically threatened by years of government underfunding. Chief Justice Robert Bauman, in a blunt Nov. 19 speech to B.C. lawyers in Las Vegas, used analogies like “going over the cliff in slow motion” to describe the danger looming from court congestion. “Bring this issue to the attention of our fellow citizens and take whatever steps you can to defend and protect our judicial system,” he urged legal colleagues. “Once our institution is critically wounded, it will never be the same again.” Bauman likened court underfunding in B.C. to the forces of erosion, adding it is steadily approaching a “tipping point when that gradual, insidious process of incremental damage yields its dramatic finish – the structure is diminished and collapses.” By next year, the court services budget will have been cut more than 10 per cent since 2008, with overall staff down about 15 per cent. Bauman said there is a limit to the system’s ability to cope with restraint, adding the cutbacks that are yet to come are “cuts to the bone.” Numerous accused criminals, often impaired drivers, have already walked free because of judicial stays of proceeding after the case took too long to go to trial due to court delays. The shortage of provincial court judges – 17 fewer now hear cases than in 2005 – have led to criminal case backlogs so long, he noted, even an accused cocaine trafficker had his case quashed this fall after a 42-month delay. Court sometimes can’t proceed because no clerk is available, Bauman noted. A shortage of court registry staff has delayed the processing of court orders by up to six months in some cities, he said. And he called the

reduction in sheriffs earlier this year – since rescinded – a “glaring example” of court underfunding that led to criminal trial delays and never should have happened. Legal aid funding has dropped to “almost nil” in civil and family cases, Bauman added, even though close to 20 per cent of litigants are self-represented. “Without additional resourcing, the court’s

traditional and essential role in maintaining societal order is being eroded and degraded,” Bauman warned. NDP leader Adrian Dix called it a “very significant” warning on the state of the courts. “When you have people like serious cocaine dealers who are not being tried because of court delays, that’s a serious problem for confidence in our justice system.”

❝Once our institution is critically wounded it will never be the same again.❞ Robert Bauman chief justice

De Patie killer back in jail Monisha Martins Black Press

Penner retires, triggers second byelection Tom Fletcher Black Press

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner is leaving politics in January to work at a Vancouver law firm, rather than serve out his term until the scheduled election in May 2013. Penner announced in August that he wouldn’t seek re-election for a fifth term, stepping down as attorney general to spend more time with his wife and young daughter. At that time he was expecting a fall election, but Premier Christy Clark soon announced that the vote would be delayed. Clark said Thursday she was expecting Penner’s earlier departure. It means there may be at least two byelections at the same time, for Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam, where former cabinet minister Iain Black stepped down. That byelection must be held by March. Clark said she isn’t worried about Penner’s departure creating an opportunity for the B.C. Conservative Party to gain a foothold, or at least split the vote enough for an NDP member to be elected in the conservative-leaning Fraser Valley constituency. “I think, in fact, it’s an opportunity for us,” Clark said. “You might see

counsel at Davis LLP, an international law firm based in Vancouver. Starting in January, he will be dealing with environmental law and renew-

able energy, a long-standing interest of his. Penner received a letter from B.C.’s conflict of interest commissioner detailing the restrictions on his dealings with government after serving as a cabinet minister. Penner touched on highlights of his 15-year political career, where he served as environment and aboriginal relations minister as well as attorney general. Among them were battling the Sumas Energy 2 gas-fired power plant in Washington state, and helping establish new run-of-river projects to supply electricity to aboriginal communities at the north end of Harrison Lake. Penner poked fun at his own career in his farewell speech to the legislature. “I won’t even mention carrying Vancouver Island marmots on my back as dedicated volunteers and our government worked to increase their population by more than 700 per cent, or burrowing owls defending their mates and biting my thumb, or our evertrusty cat Ranger, who got too close to a candle during Earth Hour,” he said. “I think I can summarize by saying it’s been awesome.”

The young man who dragged a gas station attendant to his death is back in jail after two weeks on the run. Darnell Darcy Pratt surrendered himself to Victoria police around 11 p.m. Nov. 19. Pratt, 22, was released from a federal penitentiary Nov. 3, but failed to return to his Victoria halfway house two days later. Police issued a Canada-wide warrant on Nov. 7. “He contacted police, saying he was ready to give himself up,” said Const. Mike Tucker. “From the time he went missing, he was one of the top priorities for the department. We were really active in pursuing him. I can’t speak for Mr. Pratt, but the pressure got to him.” It’s the second time Pratt has violated parole conditions. Pratt was first granted statutory release in June 2010 and violated curfew two days after he was paroled to a Kamloops halfway house. Surrey’s Corinne De Patie, whose 24-yearold son, Grant, was killed by Pratt in 2005, was relieved to hear Pratt had been arrested. She was told of his arrest by Correctional Service of Canada staff the following Monday. “We haven’t been sleeping well for the past 16 days,” De Patie said. “It affects our bodies inside and we are really happy that we have this news.” A parole officer will now determine whether Pratt will be allowed back into the community under conditions imposed by the parole board or refer the file back to the board for a hearing. In March 2005, the then-16-year-old struck Grant De Patie in a stolen car while fleeing an Esso station in Maple Ridge without paying for gas. De Patie, 24, was dragged under the car for more than seven kilometres. Pratt’s sentence officially ends July 12, 2012.

Adele Samphire is one of 19 local artists who will be taking part in the second annual Peninsula Art Tour Dec. 3 and 4, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at eight locations around the community.

Expect all the other favourite pantomime schtick, too (over-the-top male Dame, female principal boy, colourful costumes, appropriated songs, knockabout comedy) channelled through the more post-modern, ironic sensibility of the Dimms. The show, which features Nigel Watkinson as the title character, and Michelle Gatez as principal boy Jack (of Jack and Jill fame), chronicles the kidnapping of Mother Goose and the journey to rescue her from a publishing conglomerate holding her captive in Las Vegas.

Mayan Horror Well-known humourist Bob Robertson (CBC’s Double Exposure) will be at Black Bond Books’ Semiahmoo Centre location Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. as part of his cross-Canada tour to promote his latest book, Mayan Horror: How To Survive The End Of The

World in 2012 (Anvil Press). Robertson takes his cue from the fact that the Mayan Calendar runs out on Dec. 21, 2012, which has led some to predict that all manner of disasters will befall the earth – from collision with a rogue planet and ensuing biblical floods to swarms of gnats. “But just because life as we know it will come to an end, it doesn’t mean you can’t survive and even prosper financially in the post-apocalyptic world,” Robertson says in his satire on topical self-help literature. Robertson will also be making a presentation along with his readings from the book during the promotional stop. Books will be available for signing during the event.

Eagles salvage split with Kings Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Sharks drop qualification game 20-11 to Burnaby Lake

Bayside out of premier league nament, in which the last premier-league spot was up for grabs. The Bayside-Burnaby matchup was originally to be played Nov. 19 but cold weather and frozen playing surfaces – fields in both South Surrey and Burnaby Lake were closed – led to the postponement of the game. Last weekend’s soggy weather no doubt played a part in Saturday’s result, as the Sharks – who prefer to play a high-speed, skilled game – were forced to play a grinding, slower style of rugby. “In good conditions, our team can really run up some tries on people… but rain is such an equalizer,” Kearney told Peace Arch News earlier in the season.

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks did not get the result they were looking for Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, losing a muddy, rain-soaked affair 20-11 to Burnaby Lake in the final qualification game of the fall season. The loss bounced the Shark’s top mens’ team from the upcoming spring premier rugby league; Burnaby Lake was awarded the final berth by virtue of Saturday’s win, while Bayside will play this spring in first division. The Sharks had been on a roll prior to Saturday’s game, beating both the Vancouver Rowing Club and Victoria’s Velox Valhallians in the first two games of the qualification tour-

Women’s ﬁnal Burnaby Lake also got the better of the Bayside Sharks in the Lower Mainland Women’s Tier 1 finals. Saturday at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex, Burnaby edged the Sharks with a lowscoring 6-0 win to capture the Anna Schnell Cup. The game was a tightly contested affair, as neither team was able to break through the opposition’s defensive line for tries. Burnaby won the game on penalty kicks from Becky Querido and Canadian international scrumhalf Julie Sugawara, the latter of whom is a Peninsula resident.

Steve Koshey’s winning goal in double-overtime Saturday salvaged a weekend split for the Surrey Eagles, who bounced back from a 7-1 road loss to the Powell River Kings the night before to win 4-3. “The best thing about that (7-1) loss on Friday was that we didn’t have too much time to sit and think about it – we had to to play them again the next night,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “Sometimes, you lose like that and then have to sit on it for two weeks until you play them again.” The 1-1 weekend leaves the Eagles in second place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Coastal Conference, three points back of the surging Cowichan Valley Capitals, who have lost just one regulation game in the last 10. Surrey was scheduled to play a third game last week, Thursday in Port Alberni against the Bulldogs, but it was postponed because weather conditions cancelled a number of BC Ferries’ sailings, leaving the Eagles stuck on the mainland. The game will now be played Feb. 18. Friday in Powell River, the Kings jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the 3:24 mark of the second period, and it was 6-0 before Surrey got on the board with a Linden Saip power-play goal. It was the Kings’ power-play that did much of the damage, however, as the home team went 5-for-9 with the man advantage. “Powell River can be a real tough place to play, especially for the first time, which was the case for a lot of our young guys,” Erhart said. “We just ran into a bit of a discipline problem and allowed them to have too many power plays. Some of the penalties were see page 35

Best-ever result for Southridge Grade 8/9 soccer team

Storm second at Valleys Southridge Storm’s Grade 8-9 boys soccer team capped off an impressive run through the Fraser Valley championships with a 3-1 loss Nov. 21 to Tamanawis. The second-place finish was a best-ever mark for Southridge’s youngest soccer team – older teams have won several banners – and though playing in a championship game was exciting, the real highlight came one game earlier, in semifinals, when the Storm edged a the Enver Creek Cougars team in a shootout.

Trailing Enver Creek 1-0, Southridge tied the game when a Liam Fraser free kick deflected off a Cougar defender and into the net. Minutes later, however, the Cougars returned the favour to re-take the lead by halftime. In the second half, the Storm – spurred forward after a halftime speech from head coach Pedro DeNobriga – tied the game on a goal from Matt Kennell, and when neither team could score the go-ahead marker, the game was sent to extra time. In overtime, Southridge went

up by one when Ty Westgard scored – finishing off a play started by Fraser – but Enver Creek knotted the game at 3-3 with less than a minute to play. Before the penalty kicks began, DeNobriga, playing a hunch, substituted centre-back Sam Chan for goalkeeper Hunter Hughes – who had played well all game – and the move paid off, as Southridge edged their Surrey rivals by a single goal. Kennell, Fraser and Spencer Millard scored for the Storm in the shootout.

Rachel Proctor and Alana Pineault bring winning pedigree to SFU

Renegades’ pair signs with Clan A pair of White Rock Renegades will be playing this fall in Burnaby, after signing with the Simon Fraser University Clan last week. Renegades Rachel Proctor and Alana Pineault, both Surrey residents, were two of three signees last week, joining Langley’s Nicole Ratel, who played in the Fraser Valley Fusion organization. SFU head coach Mike Renney was excited to bring Proctor, an

outfielder, and Pineault, who plays multiple positions, into the fold. “I have been watching Rachel play for the past couple of years and would best describe her as a strong-hitting outfielder,” said Renney in a release. “She brings with her an outstanding attitude and enthusiasm for the game. She is a welcomed addition to our team who I expect will make her mark with us in the batter’s

box. “Alana will bring versatility with her ability to play a number of different infield positions and has shown good offensive potential as well.” With the White Rock Renegades, both Proctor and Pineault were part of two B.C. championship teams, as well as one Canadian Open International Fastpitch Championship-winning club. - Nick Greenizan

Barrie earns win in goal from page 33 warranted… frustration just boiled over. “It was a bit of a wake-up call though, which isn’t always a bad thing.” Powell River’s Evan Richardson paced the Kings’ attack with one goal and four assists, while Craig Dalrymple had a four-point night. Two other Kings, Teagan Waugh and Matt Scarth, had three-point efforts. Eagles starter Andrew Hunt stopped 29 shots in the loss. The following night, back on home ice, the Eagles were a much better team. Brandon Morley had two goals to lead Surrey, while Ben Greiner also added a goal in the second period, which put the Eagles up 3-0 at the time. Powell River scored once more before the second intermission, but the Eagles still lead 3-1 with 20 minutes remaining. “Brandon had a real good game for us,” Erhart said. In the third period, the Kings made it 3-2 on a power-play goal from Chris Williams, and the visitors tied the game in the final minute after pulling the goalie for the extra attacker. “Five-on-five, we didn’t give them much, and we were in control of a 3-1

game most of the night, I thought,” Erhart said. “But they got a power-play goal and then managed to get one with the goalie pulled.” After one overtime period of fouron-four action solved nothing, the game moved to three-on-three; Koshey scored 3:29 into the period to give the home team the win. Eagles’ goalie Conor Barrie stopped 26 shots to earn the victory, which was the backup netminders’ second of the year. “It was nice to see him get the win, since he doesn’t get the chance to play a whole lot for us,” said Erhart. “He played really well, and the guys played good in front of him.”

Scholarship for Toews Rookie defenceman Devon Toews got some good news prior to the Eagles’ weekend games, agreeing last week to a scholarship with Quinnipiac University Bobcats. The 17-year-old Abbotsford native has had a strong rookie season for the Eagles, with four goals and seven assists in 22 games. He’ll likely play one more season in South Surrey before joining the Bobcats, an NCAA Div. 1 team once captained by Eagles coach Matt Erhart, in the fall of 2013.
