Killer dog ‘stolen’ from kennel three days before provincial court verdict

Missing pit bull gets death sentence Sarah Massah Black Press

Pebbles at large.

More than a year after a pit bull attacked and killed a yorkie-poodle cross in White Rock, the larger dog received a death sentence in Surrey Provincial Court last week. However, Pebbles – a Staffordshire – received a reprieve of sorts days earlier, after a break-in and alleged dognapping at the kennel where the city had been

paying $700 a month to board the pit bull since the Nov. 22, 2010 attack. After hearing testimony from five witnesses – including the victim’s owner, Debra Ogilvie – Judge Reginald Harris ruled Friday that Pebbles be classified as a dangerous dog under the BC Community Charter and ordered her to be destroyed humanely by a veterinarian. Ogilvie and husband Doug Fenwick held hands as the verdict was read.

After court adjourned, Ogilvie said the ruling brought closure after the death of her yorkie-poo, Joey. “I feel like we can finally, finally get on with our lives and look to the future,” Ogilvie said. “We are even looking at new dogs.” Pebbles’ attack on Joey – near Stevens Street and Marine Drive – came after the City of White Rock had banned the pit bull in spring of 2009, following

complaints concerning the dog roaming unchecked and attacking other dogs. Despite efforts of Canada Post lettercarrier Roger Jendral to release the smaller dog from its jaws, Pebbles wouldn’t let go until Joey was dead. Since that day, the female Staffordshire was being held at Silver Birch Kennels, while the dog’s owner Lisa Shaw asked for a stay of execution. see page 4

City alerted over height

Big money sought for view loss Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock homeowner is demanding financial redress from the city, claiming his ocean view has been ruined by development that he was assured 20 years ago would “never happen again.” “They do owe me compensation, and plenty of it,” Richard Main said. “It’s decimated our view.” Main, who built a home on Victoria Avenue 25 years ago, was to appear as a delegation on the matter at White Rock council Monday, after Peace Arch News deadline. His concern relates to a development taking shape at 14955 Victoria Ave., where Main said owners are gaining from “a big loophole” in the city’s zoning bylaws that he said he warned officials about years ago. In 2009, Bob and Jacqueline Yearsley won a B.C. Supreme Court case against the city, after officials denied them – for reasons ruled unspecified – a development permit sought to build a six-storey structure. The application had met all existing Official Community Plan guidelines and zoning bylaws. While council closed the loophole six months after the court ruling, by way of a zoning amendment that all but limited heights in the area to see page 4

Alleged dognapper says animal-rights advocates have to defy unjust laws

Dog lovers clash at Surrey courthouse Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Supporters of a Surrey woman charged in connection with “an elaborate dog-theft investigation” rallied outside Surrey Provincial Court Thursday morning. But the group – carrying posters bearing calls for better animal rights, new animal-protection laws and an end to animal cruelty – did not broadcast their support for A Better Life Dog Rescue’s Janet Olson unopposed.

“Jan is going to have a better life in jail,” called out Brad Engel, a North Shore resident who told Peace Arch News he has been following the activities of ABLDR since “way before” Olson and co-accused Louise Reid were charged last month. “I know several people that have had their animals taken,” Engel said, on a break from videotaping the supporters. Olson, 58, and Reid, 59 – also of Surrey and a co-director of ABLDR – were arrested Nov.

21, and are facing charges of break-and-enter and theft under $5,000, in connection with a dog that was taken from a Coquitlam backyard that same day. Officers with Surrey’s Property Crime Target Team arrested the pair after reportedly observing them enter the yard and walk away with a bulldog named Samson. Olson is facing additional charges of theft and fraud in connection with the alleged theft of a Jack Russell terrier in Surrey April 13. see page 2

news White Rock BIA warns city will lose Marine Drive businesses

Businesses call for free winter parking Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Parking fees along White Rock’s waterfront are back in the spotlight. Monday night – after Peace Arch News’ press deadline – the executive director of the city’s Business Improvement Association was to urge the elimination of winter parking fees on Marine Drive. Sherri Wilson Morissette told PAN last week that she would also propose a February-to-April “shoulder season,” in which the rate would be $1 per hour. Unlike the current fee system – $1/hour Nov. 1 to Feb. 28, and $3/hour for the balance of the year – the suggestion would suit the actual peak season along the waterfront,

Wilson Morissette explained. “Summer is not nine months of the year,” she said. “Our peak season of tourists is not nine months of the year. It’s a very small, three-to-four-month window.” Wilson Morissette met with Mayor Wayne Baldwin on the matter Wednesday. Monday morning, Baldwin said the matter is not a simple one, and that he planned to ask staff for a report on the financial ramifications of changing the rates at the evening’s council meeting. Revenue that would be lost from any reduction to or elimination of pay parking rates would have to be found elsewhere, he noted. “Budget definitely has to be a factor, we can’t ignore that,” Baldwin said. “It would

cost us money and may or may not result in some increased benefits to the businesses down there.” The topic has long been a hot one in White Rock, with merchants arguing the rates – coupled with aggressive enforcement – hurt business. Wilson Morissette said it doesn’t make sense to charge for parking at this time of year, when there are multiple shopping malls a short drive away where visitors can park for free. On any given day, those lots are “jam-packed,” she said. “On the same day, you can go down to the waterfront and it’s empty. It might be $1 parking, but it’s empty.” The situation is also threatening the area’s

charm, Wilson Morissette said. She noted one boutique business owner that closed shop a couple months ago on East Beach cited parking as a key reason for their exit. That space is now slated for offices, she said. “Now, we won’t even have an attractive destination. That’s slowly what most of the businesses on East Beach are turning into: they’re either fish-and-chip shops or oil exploration companies.” Wilson Morissette said it’s time White Rock made “some quite grand gestures.” “If they don’t start supporting the businesses down there… they’re going to lose them,” she said. “We’re not going to stop until they move on this.”

Tidiness complaints get City of Surrey’s attention

Curio-shop cleanup ‘a work in progress’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A city crew turned up at South Surrey’s Old Curio Shop with a bulldozer Thursday. But both bylaw staff and the sister of the proprietor agree the presence of the crew was about tidying the site, not shutting the business. The shop, at 1430 King George Blvd., has become legendary – even showing up in online antique collecting and ‘picker’ blogs – for its mind-boggling, floor-to-ceiling profusion of second-hand items. Contacted Thursday, Ed Warzel, manager of bylaw enforcement and licensing, was adamant the city has no plans to close down or bulldoze the store, as some neighbours and bystanders had supposed. “Absolutely not,” he said. “Surrey’s about keeping businesses open.” “It’s just a very normal procedure, a project we’re doing with the city,” said Stephanie Cohen, who identified herself as the sister of owner Barry Cohen, when Peace Arch News called the store Thursday. “There were some dying blackberry bushes that had to be cleared,” she said. “It’s something they’re doing all over the city.

City of Surrey crew clean exterior of shop. We hope they help us again with this.” Warzel had a slightly different version of why the crew was at the store. “Bylaw officers have been dealing with the owner of this property since 2009,” he said. “We’ve been responding to complaints about the tidiness of the property. “Today we sent out a crew to clean up the front area of the property, which is primarily a city boulevard. “There’s been an accumulation, a collection of, for want of a better word, stuff. Some, I suspect, is of value, some of it is junk. It’s one of those things that is very personal. He’s been in the area a long time, and you don’t just get there overnight. But you can’t just leave that

sort of thing lying in yards.” Warzel said his department regularly deals with similar situations throughout the city. “Our primary goal is to ask people to clean it up themselves. Officers will go out and talk to the people, and 97 to 98 per cent of the time it’s done by the property owner.” Warzel noted Cohen had been co-operating fully with cleanup efforts. “We’re hoping to provide the owner with the help to get this done,” he said. “It’s a work in progress. “It’s a matter of making it meet the standards the community expects and the city expects.” The presence of the city crew fueled speculation that the city would shut down the shop, which has become increasingly packed with second-hand merchandise in recent years, with items spilling onto the surrounding property. “It’s sad, in a way, but it’s time,” said one passerby who said she knew Cohen 10 years ago. “You can’t move in there, and every one of those cars parked out front is Barry’s, but each one is filled with stuff. “Whenever he needs more room, he buys another car and fills it up.” – with files from Nick Greenizan

A committee has been struck to consider whether a shared-meal program should be reinstated at Kiwanis Park Place, following November’s E. coli outbreak at the South Surrey facility. “It’s kind of hanging in the balance right now,” Crescent Housing Society president Randy Kohls said last week of the service. “The meal program is not something that we provide normally, but it is sort of an extra program, if you like, in terms of a social activity.” Food services at the 12850 26 Ave. independent-living complex – which is operated by Crescent Housing Society – were suspended last month, after three senior residents were exposed to E. coli. Officials with Fraser Health confirmed Dec. 9 that one of the three died Nov. 30, six days after the outbreak was linked to Kiwanis Park Place. While it’s believed the exposure occurred at one of two group meals served between Nov. 8 and 14, it remains unknown if the bacteria caused the resident’s death. Kohls said the deceased was an elderly woman with mobility issues who had received her meal in her room. He said he would not share her age, “even if I knew.” Kohls said much was done at Kiwanis following news of the E. coli: the food-services program, including two cooks, was suspended “immediately”; all leftover food was destroyed; the kitchen facility was sanitized; and, notices were posted throughout the complex advising anyone with symptoms to report to their doctor. “We co-operated very, very fully with the health inspectors,” he said. Kohls doesn’t expect a decision on the meal program until the new year, and he said it won’t be made without input from residents. Fraser Health officials said the program could not reopen without the facility first passing a health inspection and obtaining a new health-operating permit. While the Kiwanis kitchen is closed, residents will be invited to a Christmas luncheon. Kohls assured the event will be catered. “It will not touch the kitchen.”

City on hook for $700-a-month bill from page 1 On Friday, kennel owner Irene Maciagowski told the court that Pebbles was stolen from her South Surrey facility three days earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone took wire cutters and cut through the chain-link fence housing her,â&#x20AC;? Maciagowski said. Despite the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence, Harris agreed with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Don Howieson, that proceedings should continue. However, Harris denied Howiesonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request that Shaw pay at least a portion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal and kennel fees. During the hearing, Howieson called two witnesses who testified about previous attacks involving the pit bull, including Andrea McArthur, who told the court that Pebbles had attacked her 22-pound Cairn terrier, Moxie, in November 2008. Jendral also testified, explaining how he had thrown himself on top of the pit bull in order to restrain her. According to the letter carrier, there was no way to stop the attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just went right for the little dog, grabbed him by the neck and flung him around like a rag doll,â&#x20AC;? Jendral told the court. Throughout testimony, Ogilvie tried unsuccessfully to hold back tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so long, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve waited and waited, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally

The method gave steeply sloping properties a height boost.

forces from the country. “Witness testimony has suggested the (current) Iraqi government is not terribly concerned about their security, and also that they are under pressure from Iran to deport (the PMOI) back there,” Hiebert said Thursday. “It also suggests that, due to their association with the previous regime, the current government feels no obligation to protect them.” Witness testimony has also said the Iraqi military is using loudspeakers to keep people in the camp sleepless, Hiebert added. “The message seems to be not just that they have to leave, but that they are facing their doom,” he said. Hiebert said Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Baird, has been working with Canadian allies to keep up diplomatic pressure on the Iraqi government to protect the residents of Camp Ashraf and has directed Canadian officials to visit the camp and monitor the situation. Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has also been raising Canada’s concerns with both the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and a senior Iraqi cabinet member. Hiebert said the pressure Canada and other countries can bring to bear on the Iraqi government is “substantial – if we’re united in our message.” “Other governments are concerned about what Canada thinks – there’s no doubt about that – and we’re not alone in this. We’re calling on the governments of other countries to join us in asking for an extended deadline.”

editorial

Some cards are just gifts to the bank

n this frenzied Christmas shopping season, as consumers hurry from store to store seeking the perfect gift for everyone on their list, there appears to be a port in the storm. Gift cards are wildly popular. They’re easy to send in the mail or stuff in a stocking. They show at least a semblance of thought was given to the recipient’s desires yet still empower that recipient to get something they truly want. Canadians spend about six billion dollars a year on gift cards. A survey last year by Maritz Research suggested almost half of Canadians were hoping to find a gift card under their Christmas tree. They’re also popular with retailers. Statistics Canada says more than 80 per cent of large Canadian retailers offer gift cards. For those shoppers still having a hard time making a decision at the gift card display, the credit card gift card issued by a number of banks seems like the perfect solution. But beware the fine print. There’s lots of it. Most of which works against the consumer to devalue the worth of the card. Gift cards issued by retailers are regulated by provincial consumer laws. In B.C., that means they can’t have expiry dates and consumers can’t be charged fees to acquire or maintain the cards; what you buy is what you get. But bank credit card gift cards are regulated by Ottawa, which has yet to act to protect consumers against extra fees or expiry dates. Those fees can quickly chip away at the full value of the gift card, from a transaction fee to actually buy the card, to monthly maintenance fees to charges to have the bank check the balance remaining on the card. And if the card does expire, the bank will gladly issue a new one for a substantial fee, plus a cancellation fee equal to the balance still on the card. It all adds up to make a credit card gift card seem more a gift to the banks than the recipient. It’s time the federal government bring the rules for those cards in line with those that apply to retailer gift cards.

The thing about the carbon tax is that it’s hard to know how much difference it’s made. But I think anecdotally we see that it has made some difference. We are in the process now of consulting with both the job creator community and citizens about where they’d like us to go next with the carbon tax. We have to keep in mind that the economy is fragile. But we want to remain a leader on the environment, which where we are right now in North America. ••• The interview also touched on Clark’s efforts to ease the pain of getting rid of the HST, and other issues.

Nickel, dimed out of business Editor: Re: ‘Banner year’ for bylaw enforcement., Dec. 13. White Rock city council seems to once again have gone out of its way to destroy the viability of the waterfront businesses. The parking fees are discouraging people from dining on Marine Drive, and now the city decides to crack down with its sign bylaw enforcement – $75 for every 28 days for a banner, or simply another $850-a-year tax on the businesses that are being taxed out of business. We would like to dine more on the waterfront, but why, when we can park at other restaurants in the area for nothing? White Rock is so desperate for money, they not only are taxing the businesses to death, they are nickel and diming them too. Bill Phelps, Surrey

Going walkies in White Rock Editor: Re: City dog restrictions ‘take bite out of business, Dec. 1. Mike Armstrong and his Dog Owner’s Group are lobbying for the right to walk their dogs along the White Rock promenade. I, for one, love to walk the promenade for two reasons: One, the scenery is amazing and ever-changing; two, I am able to walk with my head up, and not feel the need to watch every step I take. It is so nice to be able to walk there with our toddler grandson, and let him run free, knowing he most likely will not find any little “treasures” left behind by negligent dog walkers. No matter how many signs and warnings are posted to remind dog owners that they are to pick up after their pets, there are always those that are too lazy to do so. Six years ago, we moved here to the South Surrey area, and made the mistake of buying a home on the sidewalk side of the street. Almost every day, we find a deposit or two left behind by lazy dog owners. We are not dog-haters, we just hate cleaning up after them, which is why we choose not to own one ourselves. Armstrong states that “dog policy excludes 40 per cent.” I wonder what percentage would be excluded by those wishing to dodge dog piles? K. McKay, Surrey Q After reading my recent edition of the Peace Arch News, I am compelled to write and offer my support to Mike Armstrong and his campaign to allow leashed dogs to be walked on the White Rock promenade. I have wondered for a number of years what public-safety purpose the ban could serve in White Rock, when no such ban exists in Crescent Beach, on the Stanley Park seawall, in Whistler Village or a number of other places that have popular

walks for the public, including dogs. I was, however, provided a glimpse of the narrow-minded rationale that must have played a role in coming to the decision to ban dogs from the promenade. If the comments by letter-writers R.U. Kistritz and Don Campbell (Dog proposal gives them pause, Dec. 8 letters) represent the scope of reasons, White Rock’s newly elected council should reverse this prohibition immediately. It does not require analysis, debate or extensive consultation to show leadership and change a bad bylaw. Our councillors have been elected to govern a complex city, not a “twobit” strata council. The process of evaluation can go on while those citizens with dogs demonstrate they can responsibly use the promenade. Kistritz is wrong in suggesting the promenade’s “physical confinement” is a problem. The promenade measures eight feet wide and has no obstacles along its entire length. On the other hand, the Marine Drive sidewalks – on which you can walk a leashed dog – are only about five feet wide and are cluttered with telephone poles, fire hydrants, bus-stop signs, mailboxes, parkingregulation signs and vegetation, which has been allowed to grow. The writer states “most promenade users would think twice about settling down on the grassy slopes… not knowing if that particular spot may have been a canine toilet.”

I counted over 85 benches and tables along the promenade. There is room for nearly 1,000 people to sit. They should be careful, however, because those pesky seagulls are not licensed and don’t have owners to clean up after doing their business. I am deeply offended by White Rock’s approach to dealing with the dog issue. Last year, they increased dog-licence fees by 250 per cent. They claim it was done to bring it in line with the rate charged in Surrey. Surrey has dog parks and engages its citizens with a program to expand services for their dogs. White Rock took the money from the more than 800 licensed dogs in the city and did nothing – unless you consider “no-dogs-allowed” signs on the promenade value for the money. It is time for White Rock to stop being such a restrictive community and shift focus to positive themes. Some people like dogs, some don’t. There are people who ride bikes and we provide lanes for their use. There are letdowns at corners because it makes it easier for people with strollers, walkers and wheelchairs. Cities exist to provide services for their citizens and should only prohibit activities that are dangerous or against the public interest. If the promenade ever gets so crowded that we need to manage the congestion, then it may be necessary to put limitations on the users, such as only being able to jog

on even-numbered days and walk dogs on odd-numbered days. Solutions can and must be found to share our precious assets. C. Arychuk, White Rock

A colourful creation

of note

Editor: Re: Calendar celebrate life in ‘city by the sea,’ Dec. 13. I was delighted to get my copy of the new White Rock calendar. What an outstanding piece of work and a real testament to the arts in our community. Each artist has made a bold statement as to how they as individuals see our city. For example, in my mind the Elizabeth Hollick piece seems to be saying “My city by the sea is bright, vibrant, colourful and summery.” This welcoming piece of art has truly captured the feeling of a summer day in White Rock. The same can be said of all of the contributors: so much variety, so much talent. My hat is off to Tourism White Rock’s Betina Albornoz for a job well done. Indeed, my city by the sea truly is a centre of arts, culture and so much more. Chris Thornley, White Rock

Alexandra Neighbourhood House hosts mini-camps for many groups, including adults with special needs.

Make our jewel shine once again Editor: White Rock waterfront has shops and a wonderful promenade, but Crescent Beach – the longtime favourite of locals – has a few gems of her own, and the jewel in her crown may just be Alexandra Neighbourhood House, or more commonly known as ‘Camp Alexandra.’ Founded in 1918 as a summer camp for children from the Alexandra Orphanage in Vancouver, it also hosted groups of needy mothers and children from Vancouver, who would otherwise have had little chance of getting away from the city. To this day, the camp has continued to not only host camps for special needs, teen moms and the disadvantage but to house and run programs for babies, tots, pre-schoolers, after-school care, a free clothing exchange, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and seniors’ lunches, to name just a few. She has served her community well.

Now, she needs help. Membership is down and some of the programs are being lost due to financial cutbacks. The Wednesday seniors’ hot lunches are now soup and sandwiches; Thursday community lunch for low-income folks is gone; rumour has it that the senior’s lunch may be next on the chopping block. I volunteer at the camp when needed, as do many others who are mourning the loss of what was once a vital community, and I’m asking for your financial help. We are very fortunate to live in an area that supports community events, and I think we can pull together to make our jewel shine once again. What do you say? P.S. This letter is my own doing. I just feel that the public needs to know that the old gal is suffering. Dee Walmsley, Surrey

Dinner-scrap powered trucks come to Surrey

DAY SAVINGS!

Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Those scrapings from dinner plates will soon be used to power the trucks that come to pick them up. The City of Surrey signed a contract with BFI Canada last week that will change the way residential waste is picked up and treated. Starting late next year, all organic waste – food waste, garden clippings, etc. – will be disposed of in a different bin, picked up weekly and taken to an organics facility. Eventually the off-gas will be collected and used to power the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks doing the curbside pickup. In a separate bin, residents will put their normal garbage, which will be picked up every second week and taken either to a landfill or the Burnaby Waste Incinerator. It’s all part of a long-standing initiative to make Surrey’s waste disposal more sustainable. Under the new contract with BFI, residential waste will be collected using CNG-powered trucks, which, according to a city release, emit 23 per cent less carbon emissions and 90 per cent less air particulates, compared to traditional diesel trucks. Studies show, replacing one diesel truck is the equivalent to taking 475 cars off the road each year. The separation of organics as part of the pickup is partly driven by

The move has been in the works for years by management and staff in Surrey’s engineering department. The city manages the collection of residential curbside garbage, recycling and yard waste for approximately 97,000 single-family dwellings, in addition to recycling for 30,000 multifamily residential units. The new services come into effect Oct. 1 next year. The cost of the new contract is $9.5 million annually for the next seven years. In addition, Surrey will have to invest $1.5 million per year for the new garbage carts, bringing the total cost to $11 million annually. That’s less than the current contract of more than $12 million, in part because of less-frequent pickup of garbage headed for the landfill.

Woman injured A 71-year-old woman from White Rock had to be transported to hospital by an airambulance helicopter following a two-car collision in the City of Langley last week. The senior suffered what were described as non-life-threatening abdominal injuries Dec. 14, when the Honda she was driving was t-boned by a Lincoln at the intersection of Fraser Highway and 208 Street around 11:39 a.m. The driver of the Lincoln, a 40-yearold Langley woman, reportedly suffered minor face and wrist injuries. Air bags in both cars were triggered. Both drivers were wearing seat belts. The driver of the Honda, which suffered extensive damage to the driver’s side, had to be extricated by rescue crews using the Jaws of Life device to remove her door. The crash caused extensive damage to the front end of the Lincoln.

Langley RCMP investigate a two-car collision on the morning of Dec. 14. While officers “did their best” to determine which vehicles the items may have come from, some items have not been claimed. Shoihet noted the targeted vehicles had been left unlocked. “It wasn’t like they

were breaking in, it was like it was opportunity knocking,” she said. A 20-year-old White Rock man and a 21-year-old South Surrey resident face charges of theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property.

Thieves nabbed White Rock residents who woke Friday to find valuables had been stolen from their vehicles overnight might be able to recover an item or two. Police are asking owners whose vehicles were parked near the 14200-block of Malabar Avenue Thursday night to check if they’re missing anything, after two men were arrested with a cache of items. Police were called around 2:30 a.m. Dec. 16, after a resident noticed two suspicious men trying the door handle of a vehicle parked in his neighbour’s driveway. A police dog team helped locate a pair with items, including iPods, sunglasses and medicine, Const. Janelle Shoihet said.

Shoihet said alcohol was a factor in the thefts. Anyone who believes their property may be among the items recovered is asked to call White Rock RCMP at 778-593-3600 and cite file 2011-6652.

Whynott often meets a difficult subject to bring people who are unable to bring up up, especially around the the topic for fear of making others holidays. unhappy and have no one else to It can often make people talk to. uncomfortable or sad, and many “It’s really amazing how many times the subject is pushed aside. people stop by to tell us their For the White Rock South story.

and her parents and friends who have passed. Decorated in glitter, with ribbons to tie to the tree, the doves have been a symbol for the hospice for many years, symbolizing peace. By placing the doves on the tree, Whynott said she hopes it brings peace of mind to those struggling

with the loss of a loved one. She recalls meeting three girls, all cousins who had lost their grandfather, with their mothers trailing behind them. Whynott invited the girls to share their story. The 10-year-old girl, the youngest of the three, spoke about the recent death of their

grandfather. “She said that her papa had been such a good man, and that they all really, really missed him,” Whynott said. The girls had all scraped and saved $75 each to donate to the hospice in honour of their Papa, in lieu of gifts. “You could see their moms were crying, it touched them deeply to know that their girls only wanted to remember their grandfather for Christmas,” Whynott said. “That in itself is the beauty of CelebrateA-Life.” The doves have become a tradition for many in the community, including hospice volunteer Margaret Rodgers. In 1958, at the age of 20, Rodgers was diagnosed with bone cancer. Against all odds, she has lived for decades longer than originally expected. Her early introduction to the subject of death didn’t make her hide from it. Instead, she devoted her life to helping others who had cancer, eventually working with the hospice. For the last 15 years at the hospice, she has seen many people whom she cared about die, including her husband. Every year, Rodgers would put up a dove in honour of the people she loved and lost. This will be the first year she is unable to because of medical issues, but she encourages others to participate. “It’s like a vigil,” said Rodgers. “It’s a closing for some, and a way to meet others who are grieving.” This week, as the Celebrate-ALife campaign comes to a close, the society gathers all the paper doves and bring them back to the hospice for the Dove Ceremony. The paper doves are burned oneby-one as a final goodbye. “It closes the gap between life and death and sends the spirits up to the sky,” Whynott said. The campaign runs until Friday. Anyone can place a dove on the tree, and those who donate $20 or more will be able to take home a wooden dove, hand-painted by the Grade 11 students at Southridge School. Money raised will go to the hospice for care and services of terminally ill patients, their families and friends. For more information, visit wwww.whiterockhospice.org

Traditions around the globe Families across the globe cherish their Christmas traditions. Customs may be unique to every family, but many countries boast their own unique traditions as well. * Australia: Many Australians celebrate Christmas by coming together at night to sing carols outside. That’s not as chilly as it might sound, as Christmas in Australia actually falls during summer vacation. In fact, many of the country’s most popular Christmas traditions occur outside. * England: Contrary to Australia, England’s weather around Christmastime is much colder. Many of England’s traditions resemble those popular in North America, including wrapping gifts, hanging stockings over the ﬁreplace and gathering around

the Christmas tree. * France: Christmas celebrations in France begin several weeks before December 25, but Christmas Eve is most special to many natives of France. On Christmas Eve, church bells ring as people sing noels, or carols. The following day, a feast is enjoyed upon returning home from church. * Germany: In Germany, the weather is cold during the Christmas season, and in the weeks leading up to Christmas families bake sweet bread, cakes with candied fruits and spicy cookies. Advent wreaths are popular in Germany and are purchased four Sundays before Christmas begins. The wreaths have places for four candles, and families light a candle on the wreath each Sunday.

S easons Greetings Creating holiday traditions Much of what makes the holiday season so special is the traditions that people hold dear. While families have traditions that stretch back decades, there is plenty of opportunity to embrace new means of celebration to breathe new life into Christmas, Chanukkah or the season’s other holidays. Chances are you’re already hanging stockings or going caroling this year. You can add some of these and modify as they fit for your family. 1. Feed the wildlife. During the cold days of winter, birds and small animals that don’t hibernate may find it difficult to forage for food. By trimming an outdoor pine tree in edible snacks you’ll have a beautiful tree and one that benefits the wildlife as well. Make little ornaments out of suet and string for the birds. Be sure to choose a tree that is far enough away from the home, so you don’t have too many scavengers hunting and pecking around the house. 2. Create a photo Advent calendar. Make your own Advent calendar that has small doors that open up to photos of different family members. Or use a collection of children’s pictures that showcase how they’ve changed as they’ve grown older. 3. “Adopt” a child for holiday gifts. Each year you can bring a smile to a child in need by purchasing a present for an underprivileged kid. Or work with a local charity that organizes events to bring gifts to children in hospitals or in foster care. 4. Holiday story countdown. Every night in December watch a movie or read a story that tells an uplifting holiday tale. Use this as a method of counting down until

Christmas. On the night prior, reading “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” should suffice. 5. Remember someone who has passed on.The holiday season is one made beautiful by lit candles and twinkling lights. Remember a loved one or a friend who has passed away by lighting a remembrance candle in his or her honor. It’s a way this person can still be part of the festivities. 6. Have a holiday sing-a-long. Sure it may be tradition to go around the neighborhood singing carols, but it’s just as fun indoors. Have a singing party where guests are given lyrics to popular tunes they can sing around the piano or karaoke machine. 7. Bring some joy to a public servant. Police officers, firefighters, military personnel ... many of these workers do not get off for the holidays. There are a certain number of public servants who must remain on call in the event of an emergency. Treat these people to something enjoyable when they may be missing their own festivities. Cook or cater a meal for a fire house, deliver cookies to the police station or put together care packages for people living on a military base. 8. Banish the holiday blues. When the holidays are set to go for another year, many people find they become a little down. After all, a home that was once filled with merry trinkets may now go back to the bare essentials. Create a tradition where everyone in the family receives one more gift -- a personalized ornament that can be packed away for use next year -- that’s given in January before the decorations are packed away.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The origins of the yule log The burning of a yule log has been a Christmas tradition in many European countries for centuries. It is believed to have originated at pagan winter solstice festivals or yule festivals among Germanic people. Eventually it turned into a Christmas tradition -- one where a piece of wood is burned in the hearth, oftentimes overnight until Christmas arrives. Even now, people who have ﬁreplaces in their homes often participate in the yule log tradition. But for the many others who don’t have a ﬁreplace, an enterprising television executive devised a solution back in 1966. Fred M. Thrower, President and CEO of WPIX, Inc., a local television station in New York, was inspired by a commercial

AURA Y O U R

showing Santa Claus in front of a roaring fire. He came up with the concept of airing a continuous loop of a yule log burning so that viewers without fireplaces could enjoy the magic of the yule log with seasonal music playing in accompaniment to the mesmerizing flames. The original piece of film was a loop of only 17 seconds of film and individuals could tell it was artificial by its jerky appearance. Eventually the yule log was refilmed. Annual airing of the yule log took place up until the 1990s. But fans of the holiday staple protested and, after 11 years of being off the air, the yule log returned in 2001. Television executives cited that people wanted “comfort food television” and restored the yule log.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR LOCAL CREEKS AND STREAMS

During the next few months there is going to be a lot of rain. After it falls rain goes, untreated, down the storm drain straight to streams and creeks taking harmful chemicals and pollutants with it. Everyone needs to do their part to help protect the local streams and creeks because salmon and trout need a clean and healthy habitat. By taking preventative measures and making environmentally wise choices you can prevent pollution from reaching local streams and creeks.

FISH TIPS

The rain washes dirt and oil from driveways down the storm drain, so make sure when you clean your driveway that you direct all dirt and water onto your grass as it acts as a natural filter.

If you see a storm drain covered with debris, take a second and clear it off. This will prevent flooding and keep the debris from going down the storm drain which can affect fish habitat.

ONLY RAIN DOWN THE STORM DRAIN IF YOU SEE A SPILL CALL 604-590-7226

the team with a pair of goals – giving him a team-best 18 on the season – while Brandon Tanev, Brandon Morley and Hagen also found the back of the net. Newcomer Brayden Jaw, who was signed after starting the season in Nanaimo, continued to impress with his new team, picking up a pair of assists. The 19-year-old, Harvardbound forward has five helpers in six games with the Eagles. Hagan, the Eagles’ other recent addition to the forward ranks, has four goals and seven points since joining the team in a trade from the Vernon Vipers. Back at home Friday, McGovern had a goal and an assist against Alberni Valley, while Robert Lindores had a goal and two helpers to lead the attack. Neither team scored in the opening 20 minutes, but rather than continue as a defencefirst affair, the game blew apart in the second period, with the Eagles scoring four – includ-

ing McGovern’s shorthanded marker – and the Bulldogs adding two. The visitors scored three more in the third, including two in the first three minutes to briefly tie the game, but Hagen and Demico Hannoun restored the Eagles’ lead soon after. Conor Barrie earned the win between the pipes for the Eagles, who don’t play again until after Christmas; they host Cowichan Dec. 29. Surrey wrapped up its busy but impressive week with Sunday’s win over Prince George. After a one-game break, Hunt was back in net for the Birds, stopping 29 shots; Spruce Kings’ Michael Betz was the only player to beat him for a goal. Orzetti and McGovern were the goal-scorers for the Eagles. After McGovern’s goal, which opened the scoring 2:27 into the first period, the ice was littered with stuffed toys as part of the Eagles’ annual Teddy Bear Toss event, which collected the stuffed toys for charity.

Storm last until semifinals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After an impressive opening day at the G.W. Graham Basketball Tournament in Chilliwack, the Southridge Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior boys team was stopped one game short of the championship game. The Storm, fourth in B.C. AA rankings, were beat 79-54 in semifinals Friday by the Mission Roadrunners, also one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked clubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The differences in the game were an inability of (our team) to rebound with the bigger Mission players, and a lack of focus after

the emotional victory over G.W. Graham Thursday night,â&#x20AC;? said Southridge coach Steve Anderson in an email. Won Mo Koo led the Storm with 16 points and six rebounds, and Shahbaj Dhillon added 10 points and five boards. A day prior to the semifinal loss, Southridge opened the tournament Thursday with a 73-59 win over Princess Margaret, and followed up later that day with a 64-62 comeback win over the hosts from G.W. Graham â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of Southridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rivals. In that game, Southridge fell

sports Kelsey Robinson named to all-academic team

Mariners win two

Student-athlete honoured Cloverdale’s Kelsey Robinson, a student at Simon Fraser University, has been recognized for embodying the term studentathlete. The Clayton Heights Secondary grad has been named to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All Academic Team for the 2011 season. Robinson, in her second year of post secondary studies, is earning a science degree. In order to be eligible for the academic team, student athletes have to maintain a

minimum grade point average of 3.20 and be in at least their second year of competition. Robinson has maintained an impressive 3.70 grade-point average while continuing to meet athletic demands on the court. “Time management has been a huge part of my success,” Robinson said. Robinson is also the recipient of the Gordon Shrum entrance scholarship to SFU, worth $24,000. - Jennifer Lang

OBITUARIES BRANDSON, Elizabeth Priscilla

Elizabeth, known as Bessie growing up, was born March 15th, 1910 at Brookdale, Manitoba and passed away in the morning of December 6th 2011 at her residence at Peace Portal Lodge. She was the eldest child of Joseph Hamilton Layng and Margaret Alice Layng (nee Gowan). The family farmed in Brookdale and then moved to the Winnipeg area. Bessie studied at Wesley College where her dream was to be in theatre. Alas, she settled for her second choice, to be a school teacher. She married Sigurdur (Sam) Jon Brandson in 1935 and carried on her life teaching, homemaking and farming. Bessie was a clever parent who led by example and quietly set the stage for her children to succeed. In 1952, Sam and Bessie moved to Surrey, BC and later to White Rock where sadly, Sam passed away in 1975. Elizabeth, who was later known as Beth, participated in lawn bowling and alley bowling. She also contributed greatly to her community. She sang with the Kent Street choir and was awarded a lifetime membership with the White Rock Hospital Auxiliary for many years of service. She enjoyed many travels in Canada, USA, Iceland and England. She lived independently until almost the age of 98. Elizabeth was predeceased by her brothers Clarence, Bill and Elmer, her sister Margaret and her grand daughter Linda. She is survived by sisters-in-law Doris and Gwen and her brother-in-law Harold Wyatt. She is survived by her sons Keith, Kenneth, Larry and Harvey, their partners Marlene, Nicole, Karen and Winnifer and by many grand children and great grand children. Elizabeth was buried December 8, 2011 at Valley View Memorial Gardens with a graveside ceremony attended by family and friends. Her life’s work has been well done. May she rest in peace.
