23 counts relating to sexual attacks dating back 15 years
Arrest made in series of child assaults Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A man has been arrested and charged with a series of sexual assaults of children in the Lower Mainland. Police say the DNA of 42-year-old Ibata Noric Hexamer was found at three crime scenes. He has been arrested and charged with 23 counts relating to sexual assaults
dating back 15 years. Two of the assaults occurred in Surrey. On the afternoon of Aug. 30, 2007, two 14-year-old girls were walking east on 84 Avenue near 107 Street. A man approached asking for directions. He then grabbed one of the girls and produced a knife. He forced them into a wooded area and threatened to kill the girls if they ran. For
several minutes, he sexually assaulted them. Almost two years later, on July 3, 2009, a six-year-old girl out with her 12-year-old brother and friend, 15, was walking east on 62 Avenue near 139 Street in Surrey, when a man approached asking for directions. The man grabbed the six-year-old girl and brandished a knife as he walked her into the wooded area. He told the boys to follow or
he would stab the girl. The man told the boys to get down on the ground and look away. For several minutes he sexually assaulted the little girl, after which he returned her to the boys, told them to wait 10 minutes and left on foot. The family of that victim has moved away from the area due to the emotional trauma. � see page 4

Guilty plea in child-pornography case
‘Let it be a lesson: do not download porn’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Douglas Wayne Bowers knew child pornography was on his computer long before police questioned him at his South Surrey home in June 2009. The images’ indisputable presence is a key reason why the 61-year-old carpenter pleaded guilty Monday to possessing child pornography, Bowers said as he headed into Surrey
Provincial Court for a brief appearance. But Bowers said police got it wrong when they accused him of distributing “that crap.” “Child porn is sexual abuse, and I know the devastating effect of sexual abuse,” he said. “I was sexually abused as a child by a family member. It’s a devastating thing. I’ve been living with that for 50 years.” Bowers was arrested and charged last year after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated

Child Exploitation team led police to a man they described as “another prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” A three-day trial was scheduled to get underway Dec. 13. Bowers told Peace Arch News Monday morning that while he was aware child-pornography images were on his computer, they were downloaded inadvertently when he was accessing � see page 4

With no new schools being built and student numbers steadily rising, the Surrey School District is considering new ways to schedule and deliver classes in cramped high schools next September. Options being examined include extending school-day timetables and increasing access to online courses to deal with the extremely limited school space in some areas of the growing city. The recommendation comes from a report presented to school trustees by Supt. Mike McKay at Thursday’s public board meeting. It reflects community feedback gathered in the fall wherein parents stressed the importance for kids to be able to get into their neighbourhood schools. There was also a desire to maintain the stability of programs of choice such as French immersion, traditional and Montessori, which are sometimes moved and uprooted if a school becomes short on space. Choice programs “shouldn’t be seen as portable,” said McKay, noting kids and parents make a home � see page 2

$194 million in loans budgeted
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey council has adopted a budget that calls for hikes of $115 on the average home, and $355 if that home has a secondary suite. On Monday night, council endorsed the 2011-2015 plan, which also calls for potential borrowing of up to $194 million over five years to pay for an ambitious Build Surrey Program. It will be the first time in a quarter-century the City of Surrey is going into the red. The city is also budgeting to borrow $52.9 million next year to pay for projects including the City Centre
Library ($18 million next year), a City Centre parking facility ($11 million), and city hall in Whalley ($33 million), as well as various swimming pools, recreation centres and cricket pitches for a total bill of $100.3 million. The rest of the money to cover next year’s spending is coming from internal sources ($26.7 million), government grants ($10 million), cost sharing from other levels of government ($5 million), park development and other dedicated funding ($2.5 million) and various other internal sources. The city has typically bor-
rowed internally from existing reserves held in investments. City finance staff now say they can lock in long term to a low interest rate (three to four per cent) with Municipal Finance Authority loans. The budget was passed 8-1, with no discussion, with Coun. Bob Bose opposed.
For the record
The cost of the City Centre Library is $36 million, with $20 million of that coming from the federal government. Incorrect information was printed in the Friday edition of the Peace Arch News.
Trustees vow to nag province � from page 1 in the school they’re in. He also cautioned the board not to start or expand choice programs at this time as keeping them in one location could be difficult under current circumstances. Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally said new approaches to the way education is delivered must be considered. “With district enrolment increases of more than a thousand students each year – equivalent to one secondary, or three medium elementary schools full of students – and no new schools on the horizon for at least another three to five more years, our board must consider ways to manage the
classroom spaces as best we can while ensuring a quality education for our students,” McNally said. McKay’s report was released in conjunction with a report from Dr. Bruce Beairsto, who consulted with Surrey parents and stakeholders at forums earlier this year and analyzed online survey results. The process was meant to inform the board of the public’s priorities as trustees begin to budget for the 2011-2012 school year. Surrey hasn’t received provincial capital funding for new schools since 2005. That’s left thousands of students learning in portables, often for several years. This year, the district has 232 portables in use to

house student overflow, and it’s estimated there will be 340 portables (housing 8,500 students) by 2015. McKay said Beairsto’s report confirms trustees are on the right course. But it also shows the community wants the board to continue to prod the province for more funds. Once funding is granted, however, it takes about three years to have a school built. Trustee Terry Allen said Surrey simply needs more space – “without it we’re facing nothing but problems.” Trustee Pam Glass agreed. “Let us continue to nag the provincial government,” she said. “Surely they realize we can’t hang children from trees.”

100 per cent opposition in West Panorama Ridge, says member of focus group
Surrey approves secondary suites for all Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A small but impassioned group turned out to a Surrey public hearing on a bylaw that would allow one secondary suite per home. While the turnout was low, discussion was heated and even some members of the focus group who helped create the proposed bylaw had a problem with its wording and the process. After all discussion, Surrey council approved the bylaw. Rick Hart, president of the Fleet-
wood Community Association, said the public hearing turnout was low because it wasn’t well publicized by the city. In addition, Hart said, people have become cynical, thinking their voice won’t make a difference. Bob Campbell, president of the West Panorama Ratepayers Association and a member of the city focus group, said his community doesn’t want anything to do with the bylaw. “Opposition had been virtually 100 per cent,” Campbell said.
Campbell asked council to consult the public prior to bringing exclude Panorama Ridge from the bylaw forward but failed to do being allowed to have secondary that. suites. Mayor Dianne Watts said conCampbell also wants the city sultation has taken place on the to find out which other city’s website, through communities oppose it ❝Thirty-five years surveys and at the level and, barring that, make of inaction…❞ of the focus groups. it easier to opt out of the Mayor Dianne Watts Rice said history shows enforcement will conbylaw. North Surrey resident Grant Rice tinue to be a problem. “We have a pretty dismal record said he’s not against suites in areas that wish to have them, but has of bylaw enforcement,” Rice said. several problems with the process. Watts responded: “Thirty-five Rice said the city had promised to years of inaction, I would agree
with you in that regard.” Peter Simpson, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association, said the city will have to deal with multiple suites. “I have no problem at all with secondary suites, as long as they are built in compliance,” he said. Surrey is one of the last cities in Metro Vancouver to devise a secondary-suite bylaw. City staff pointed out secondary suites account for about half of the rental accommodations in Surrey.
Senior struck in crosswalk A 72-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital with undetermined head injuries Tuesday after she was struck in a crosswalk at 32 Avenue and 152 Street in South Surrey. The collision occurred around 8:45 a.m. Dec. 14, as a southbound Ford F350 turned off of 152 Street to head east on 32 Avenue. The truck struck the senior as she crossed 32 Avenue southbound. Police said it is believed the victim’s injuries were non-lifethreatening. According to Surrey RCMP, the driver was turning on a red light. The 56-year-old will likely be ticketed, police said. One motorist who was waiting to turn south onto 152 Street from 32 Avenue when the collision occurred told Peace Arch News she saw the truck come to an abrupt stop mid-turn. She then saw legs sticking out from under the front of the Ford. Several drivers jumped out to help, the witness said. An hour later, emergency crews – including six police cars – remained on the scene. - Tracy Holmes

Programs, services will be at risk, CFIB warns
Civic ‘overspending’ slammed by business lobby Kevin Diakiw, Alex Browne & Jeff Nagel Black Press
Most B.C. cities are ramping up their spending far faster than is affordable, warns the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The business lobby group’s third annual Municipal Spending Watch report found expenditures of B.C. cities rose twice as fast as the combined rate of inflation and population growth from 2000 to 2008. “They are addicted to overspending,” CFIB vice-president Laura Jones said, noting spending rose 58 per cent over those years, compared to a 29-per-cent rise in inflation and population. The CFIB, which has repeatedly called for municipal budget restraint, says civic spending should be capped at the combined rate of population and inflation growth. Had that been done in 2000, the study says, the typical B.C. family of four would have had an extra $904 to spend in 2008 alone. Cities on average spent 9.7 per cent more on operating costs in 2008 than in 2007,
while population and inflation rose a combined four per cent. Jones said civic leaders are masters at making controversial spending cuts to “perpetuate the myth that they are hard done by” while neglecting to tackle other costs. “It’s grossly unfair to taxpayers who suffer tax and fee increases that outstrip their pay increases.” The report lists Prince George as the worst offender among large B.C. cities, with 20002008 spending climbing almost four times faster than inflation and population. In the Lower Mainland, spending rose more than three times faster in North Vancouver District (3.41) and West Vancouver (3.19); and two to three times faster in Pitt Meadows (2.8) North Vancouver City (2.76), White Rock (2.58), Maple Ridge (2.38), Delta (2.36), Chilliwack (2.34), Langley Township (2.33), Coquitlam (2.26), Langley City (2.14) and Port Coquitlam (2.12). Spending also outstripped population and inflation growth in Vancouver (1.92 times), Surrey (1.90), Richmond (1.83), Burnaby
(1.67), Mission (1.64), Port Moody (1.38) and New Westminster (1.15). The business group says programs and services will ultimately be at risk and it also wants a municipal auditor-general created to oversee cities. At a Fiscal Sustainability Gap (FSG) of 2.58, White Rock is spending more than twice as much as the rate of growth and inflation. “I found it very revealing,” said Mayor Catherine Ferguson. “It demonstrates the need for our municipality to stay very focused on spending; to make sure we are filling our core services as needed… before going on to spend on other things.” By the same token, she said, the CFIB findings are based on data from 2000-2008, predating the current council. “A lot of things have changed. We’ve been doing a core-service review and we’ve found some savings with things like contracting out RCMP dispatching. “I think we can do a better job, but there are some things out of our control – RCMP service costs for example – and things that
have become more complex, like garbage collection, which is not just garbage anymore, but also recycling and green waste; things residents have told us they want. It’s a matter of finding the balance between what we need and the ‘nice-to-have’s.’” Although Surrey’s rate is 1.90, with percapita spending of $797, Surrey is still one of the least-expensive places to live in B.C. The provincial average FSG was 2.01, just over twice the growth and inflation. Like last year’s spending watch report (which used 2007 data), Surrey again had the lowest spending per capita on cities with populations of more than 25,000. City of Surrey staff have said the increase in spending over the last six years is coming out of a 10-year freeze on property taxes in 2004. Since then, the city has gone on an RCMP shopping spree to bring the number of police officers up to the national average of one cop per 700 people. Municipal leaders contend unionized labour costs are difficult to control and there’s less fat to cut than critics believe.

Police hope arrest benefits victims � from page 1 On Monday, Vancouver police announced they have tied DNA evidence to Hexamer, a 42-yearold Vancouver resident. The chances that the DNA doesn’t belong to him are one in a quadrillion (one in one thousand trillion), Vancouver police say. A Vancouver case dates back to April 1, 1995, and involved a
girl walking on the playground of Lord Nelson School, at 2235 Kitchener St. A man approached her and asked her if she could help him find his child. He grabbed her by the wrist and told her he had a knife. The man pulled her to an outdoor stairwell where she screamed and pleaded with him to let her go. He put his hand over
her mouth and sexually assaulted her for several minutes. Vancouver police say the victim is now 28 years old and has been waiting justice. “Today is that day,” said Vancouver Det. Dan Murphy of the Sex Crimes and Child Abuse Unit with Vancouver Police. “It is our hope that this will somehow help the victims and their families with the healing process.”

He said he did not distribute the images and had “absolutely” no intention of viewing them. “I did download porn… but you get everything,” Bowers said, before entering his plea in front of Judge Jim Jardine. “A lot of this stuff came with it and I didn’t know how to get rid of it. “Let it be a lesson to people – do not download porn.” Bowers said he was too embarrassed to seek help to have the files removed from his computer. In September 2009, Bowers was charged with possessing and accessing child pornography. Police said at the time that evidence seized during execution of a search warrant led police to identify a teenaged B.C. victim. However, police also said there was no evidence Bowers

The 531 would have run along 24 Avenue, bringing service as far as Campbell Heights Industrial Park. Plans for the bus – as well as a 399 B Line connecting White
Rock with Guildford – were cancelled in November 2009, after the mayor’s council on regional transportation approved a plan supplement that put a hold on further expansion. Any additional service expansions in the area aren’t expected before April, Snider said. “Sometime January or February we’ll have our first look at what might be possible for the next quarter.” For more information on the new route, visit www.translink.ca or call 604-953-3333.

The extension of a Peninsula bus route to serve a portion of the growing Grandview Heights area has come at no additional cost. “We found that we were able to extend the service without an impact on our own bottom line, because that’s what we’re dealing with right now,” TransLink spokesperson Drew Snider said. “(It’s) a matter of using our equipment as efficiently as possible and this was a way to get a bit more usage out of what we’ve got.” Peace Arch News reported Friday how the C53 Cranley Drive/ White Rock Centre community shuttle will now run east on 24 Avenue as far as 160 Street, then south on 160 to loop around the southwest corner of the Grandview Corners commercial development back to 24th. Frequency is being trimmed on other routes to allow for the changes, which took effect Monday. Snider said the expansion – which isn’t a significant deviation from the original route – was made in response to demand in an area experiencing continual growth. “It certainly doesn’t appear to be much of an extension of the

Aiming for a green Christmas
W
hat do you want for Christmas this year? Do you want to be just another statistic of debt-plagued, conspicuous consumption – or do you want the satisfaction of knowing you’ve started to make a difference in the world, through the holidays and on through the year ahead? We are told that average household waste increases by as much as 25 per cent over the Christmas season. Now would be a good time, particularly for the average cash-strapped consumer, to take a long hard look at all those disposables we tend to buy now and trash at the end of the season. Are they all absolutely necessary? Can we reduce, reuse and recycle? Wrapping paper and decorations, tend to get bought, thrown away and re-bought year after year. Some waste is unavoidable, but where possible, we should conserve what we use this year, and reuse old supplies we already have on hand. And we can make sure that, once the merrymaking is over, the disposables go into the right recycling bins or to the right depots. Artificial Christmas trees can be reused season after season, of course, but if you have to have a real tree, remember that local events and collection drives offer opportunities for people to recycle their trees and benefit others. If you are in the fortunate situation of having more food supplies than you need, consider donating the non-perishables to the local food banks in Surrey and White Rock. And if you have household goods you no longer use, consider donating them to a charity which will enable them to be used by others. Donations of clothing, decorations and blankets, for example, can be of immeasurable value. Of the average $750 the Consumer Electronics Association tells us each household in North America plans to spend on gifts each year, some $232 will be spent on electronics. But, as you upgrade, remember that electronics, too, can be recycled – either through donations and resale, or through collection locations. Yes, Virginia, the Grinch is green – but do such measures make for a drab, Grinch-y Christmas? They don’t have to. The season is intended as a celebration and we have every right to spread a little light and joy at this time. But consideration for our neighbours – and for the planet – is a gift that costs each of us far less than most of our extravagant gew-gaws. And it’s a gift that will give back to us for years to come.

their earlier votes and throw it out. There are so many things wrong with this idea that it’s hard to know where to start. Mistake, said Abbott. “A real blunder,” said Falcon. De Jong said if he had to vote on the HST again, he’d support it like he did the first time. (NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston also believes scrapping the referendum now would be dumb, and it’s not often you’ll find him agreeing with Falcon.) Clark’s “genuine” free vote would have to take place before she even has a seat in the legislature. It would divide the B.C. Liberal caucus again, unless her idea of a “genuine” free vote is everyone doing what she tells them to do. This plan would be a disaster. It shows that while Clark spent the last four years getting in touch with families on her radio show, she lost touch with political reality. Which brings us back to Stilwell. When I reached her on the campaign trail, she reaffirmed her support, and vowed again to campaign for the HST. Stilwell said people have earned the right to have a direct say, and she is “perplexed” that Clark would suggest taking that away. Stilwell remains hopeful that other benefits of the HST can still be discussed, giving it a chance for public support. In short, she remains logical and consistent in her approach. It’s no wonder she is given no chance to win. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Helping hands keep us going Editor: For the first time in 65 years, I will be celebrating Christmas without my wife, who passed away earlier this year. I am having some difficult moments – sending out Xmas cards to friends, decorating the tree, buying gifts – things that my loving wife did with such ease. Last week, I was doing some grocery shopping at the Safeway at Peninsula Village Mall and, as usual, the staff there were more than helpful and friendly and, knowing that wife was gone, made every effort to make sure I was doing OK and had everything I needed for the holidays. I just wanted to say to the staff how much I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness at this time of year. May you and your families have a very merry Christmas. Ralph E. Johnson, Surrey ■ This is to say thank you to the Peace Arch Hospital, as the care my husband received from doctors to nurses was so good. I read the negativity sometimes in the paper about our hospitals, but Peace Arch Hospital was great. The nurses are given five patients to look after. They have their hands full with those five. I watched and listened, as I was there most of the time my husband was in there, and those nurses are running most of the time. Also, to the people who take the patients up to surgery and to those who have to say they are bumped and who never get praise, and to the day-surgery nurses – all of them – you have our thanks for the care you gave my husband. Pattie Smith, Surrey ■ A huge thank you to the individual that found my purse in the Save-On-Foods parking lot at South Point and handed it in. (Never shop with four kids – lol.) Thank you so much. You’re truly an angel and I am forever indebted to you. It’s so nice to live in a community with such great people. Anita Brunet, Surrey
Achievements of a lifetime Editor: Re: School trustee remembered, Dec. 8. It was amazing to see what the past Surrey school board chair Heather Stilwell achieved in 66 years, as hundred of her friends gathered in a Cloverdale Catholic church to bid her farewell. She was a great woman, a great politician and mother to many of us as concerned Surrey parents. She has influenced so many with her straightforwardness and delicate personality – including government
ministers, as Minister of Children and Families Mary Polak described it. She achieved too much to count in her years, only cancer took her away from us. Heather Stilwell Heather, you inspirational touched so many people with your sincerity and are loved by hundreds more. Nancy Yacoub, Surrey
Not powerless to drive safely Editor: Two young children nearly lost their lives at the intersection of 192 Street and 24 Avenue on the evening of Dec. 7, when their mother’s car entered the intersection, colliding with one and then another vehicle. The news media seemed to blame this near tragedy on the fact a power failure had disabled the traffic lights, when in fact, the true
blame lies with the drivers who failed to stop, as is the law and is only common sense when a traffic signal is disabled. Yes, it was raining and it was dark, but I’d bet dollars to doughnuts both drivers were familiar with that intersection. And even if they weren’t, the non-functioning lights should have been easily apparent to any observant and competent driver. I recently witnessed this same inconsiderate and callous disregard for the safety of oneself and others in Langley City just a few weeks ago, when power was out to traffic lights along 200 Street near 40 Avenue. People on 200 Street just kept on sailing through the intersections without slowing one bit, as though no traffic light means the right of way is all mine now! Any intersection that has a traffic light is a “controlled” intersection, meaning that all cars are stopping at some point to let others travel across the intersection. When the light is not working, everyone is required to consider that intersection as a four-way stop. This near-tragedy was senseless and shows the lack of driving skills, or maybe more correctly, the lack of patience of the drivers involved.
Shame on them and I hope a valuable lesson was learned. Forest McCready, Surrey
Proud of Watts’ world finish Editor: Re: Watts comes fourth, Dec. 8. So 840 mayors were nominated for the 20l0 World Mayor Prize, and our own Mayor Dianne Watts placed fourth in this competition. I ask you, how great is that? I am proud to be living in Surrey with our lovely and competent lady at the helm. There is no doubt Dianne Watts that she has turned this city Surrey mayor around and made it a nicer place to live in. Congratulations, and thank you for declining to run for premier in the BC Liberal party. Good luck in whatever path you choose to take in the future. M. Downey, Surrey

The City of White Rock’s efforts to have passenger trains stop in the city is worth the effort, writes M.E. Davidson.
We can deal with migrants here Editor: Re: Train stop in White Rock an ‘uphill fight,’ Dec. 8. When I moved to White Rock 10 years ago, it was like a quiet English-style seaside community. Not anymore. White Rock is growing, and we deserve to have the Amtrak trains stop here so that those of us who prefer train travel to air travel or driving on clogged highways can get “on board” the train and travel in comfort. I understand the concerns regarding Canada and U.S. Customs Immigration and Naturalization Service, but it has to be addressed either in White Rock or Downtown Vancouver. White Rock is the first city after crossing the border.
If these matters are taken care of in White Rock by the Canada/U.S. Customs Immigration Service, there is more likelihood of preventing illegals or undesirables from dispersing into White Rock or Downtown Vancouver never to be seen again. Our West Beach community would benefit from the added visitors and the merchants would certainly benefit. Come on B.C., step up to the plate. My family lives in Vancouver, Wash., and it would be so much easier to jump on the train. I heartily endorse Hardy Staub’s efforts to bring this about. More power to the Amtrak Task Force. M.E.

Surrey teenagers cheered after fatal assault, court told
Guilty verdict in Skura attack Dan Ferguson Black Press
Two Surrey high school students have been found guilty of manslaughter in the May 28, 2009 death of Matthew Skura in Cloverdale. The teenagers were convicted Thursday afternoon by a judge in New Westminster, who ruled the 21-year-old Skura was trying to protect a friend during a clash between two groups of young people in a Cloverdale church parking lot, when he was sucker-punched then kicked in the head as he lay on the ground. As related by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein, the events that led to Skura’s death began when two groups of inebriated young people went to hang out at the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre across the street from the parking lot at West Winds Community Church at 6331 176 St. One was a group of high school students that included the two attackers, while the other group of young adults included Skura and a longtime friend of his. There were insults, then it got physical. The high school kids started yelling “these guys have beef ” about the older group.

Parents of Matthew Skura, Syd Skura and Cheryl Vinall outside the B.C. Supreme Courthouse Thursday afternoon. But then, things seemed to calm down. Skura seemed relaxed, making jokes about his relief there would be no fight. Then one of the of the high school boys charged in, yelling “where’s the beef ” and knocked Skura’s friend out with a single punch. “What the hell?” the 6’6” Skura shouted. “What are you doing?” Skura went to protect his friend, pulling the attacker away. But as he turned, he threw what the judge described as a “blind-side,”
punch, knocking Skura to the pavement. As Skura lay on his back, the second teen kicked him in the head, fracturing his skull on the left side. It was somewhere between eight and 15 seconds from the punch to the kick. The drunken high schoolers celebrated with what witnesses described as cheering, highfiving and chest-bumping. Skura died later in hospital. The judge said there were a lot of “inconsistencies” in the evidence from the witnesses, most of whom were very drunk.
One sober witness could be found. But there were “significant similarities in the evidence” Stromberg-Stein said, enough to establish the “highly charged, alcohol and testosterone fuelled” events as she described them. She dismissed defence arguments the teens were acting in self-defence, saying the teen who punched Matthew was “itching for a fight” as was the person who kicked him. Parents Syd Skura and Cheryl Vinall were in court and expressed relief at the verdict. The judgment shows “Matthew did absolutely nothing wrong,” Syd Skura said. “He was completely innocent. He didn’t deserve what happened to him.” An emotional Cheryl Vinall said she was bracing herself for an acquittal and was “thrilled” by the conviction. “I think Matthew deserves it,” she said, struggling to maintain her composure. “It was the right outcome.” One teen is in jail, the other will remain free on bail until their sentencing hearing in April. The Crown prosecutor hasn’t said whether he will seek adult sentences for the pair. Because of their ages, they cannot be named.
Teens sought in connection with car break-ins facial hair. One of the two had very short hair, the other had mediumlength hair. The third
suspect was described as black and about 5’10”. He was wearing a

White Rock RCMP are looking for a trio of teens in connection with a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred early Thursday. Sgt. Roland Pierschke said police were dispatched to the 1500-block of Parker Place around 5 a.m. Dec. 9, after a resident investigating some noise reported he’d found his car broken into. The man told police he chased three males from the area, including one who had a hammer. Patrolling the area, police could not locate the suspects, but discovered four vehicles with smashed windows. Others were targeted in the 15800-block of Vine Avenue. Nothing of value was reported stolen. “Cars were entered, but it doesn’t look like anything was taken right now,” Pierschke said. “Each car was tossed inside.” The witness told police two of the culprits were Caucasian, and both of them had scruffy

Violinist a YouTube finalist Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Peninsula residents have until just Thursday to vote for Sunny Chan for a place on the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011. The 17-year-old violinist and Semiahmoo Secondary International Baccalaureate student is in with a fighting chance to make it to the second annual edition of the classical ensemble, after learning he is among the top-300 online auditionees. Chan, a former member of the Semiahmoo Strings Youth Orchestra, was among thousands of aspiring classical musicians around the world who auditioned for a spot on the orchestra, which is to perform in March under the direction of famed British conductor Michael Tilson-Thomas. “If I get in, I will go to the Sydney Opera House for the concert,” Chan said. “It’s always a big dream for any musician to perform there.”
Brian Giebelhaus photo
Sunny Chan is in the running for a spot on the YouTube orchestra. Chan is philosophical about his chances. Voting will narrow down the list of musicians to some 100, but that still leaves a major challenge to come, he said. “After that, Michael TilsonThomas will choose the ones he thinks will be best for the orchestra.” Seeing that the violin section plays a key role in any symphony
orchestra, competition is intense. But he is proud to have made it this far, particularly since the audition videos were adjudicated members of the Berlin Symphony. The young violinist, who began playing at age five, is no stranger to the spotlight. In addition to his experience with the Semiahmoo Strings, Chan toured with Canada’s National Youth Orchestra last summer. The set audition pieces for the YouTube contest included sections of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4, an unaccompanied Bach violin sonata and a Strauss excerpt. To vote for Chan, visit goo. gl/4ppN9 (or go to this story on the peacearchnews.com website to link to the YouTube video.) However he does in the contest, Chan said, it has been heartening to know friends from his Semiahmoo Strings days have been supportive of his bid. “I think I have a pretty good shot at this,” he said.

Greener holiday Create memories, not garbage. That’s the advice from Metro Vancouver officials, who urge consumers to look for ways to reduce packaging during the gift-giving season. The two weeks after Christmas typically bring a larger-thannormal mountain of trash clogging the region’s waste transfer stations. Waste generated then can be about 30 per cent more, adding 4,000 tonnes of garbage or the equivalent of 500 full garbage trucks. “Think about what you are buying and where it will end up,” said Metro waste management committee chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam. “Give your family and friends something that won’t get buried in a landfill after a few months.” If you give or receive electronics, make sure you reuse or recycle the old ones – see www. MetroVancouverRecycles.org to find out where unwanted items can be dropped off.

Serving his community T
local flavours
roy Derrick was teaching at a culinary school when he decided to trade in his chef ’s hat for a police officer’s uniform, complete with gun and a badge. Having worked in a variety of Kristyl Clark kitchens throughout B.C., the father of two was ready to report to a new line of duty. The sudden switch – about five years ago – was inspired by his students who challenged him to take a spoonful of the advice he’d been serving in the classroom. “I was always telling them they could choose whatever they wanted to do at a drop off a hat,” said Derrick, now a South Surrey RCMP constable. “One day my students asked me, ‘Are you doing everything you could possible do? I thought, maybe I should take my own recipe.” Oddly, it wasn’t Derrick’s first major career shift. He aspired to be a pro skateboarder but took up the culinary trade in 1997 after injuring his knee. As a young child growing up in Prince George, Derrick had always wondered what it was like to be a cop. While he had no friends or family in policing, he said he has always had a memory of an encounter with a mountie at a candy store from when he was a young boy – a memory which has always stood out in his mind, despite some of the negative views expressed by his peers during his youth. “I was quite young, but can still vividly remember that yellow stripe,” said Derrick, who works on the local detachment’s Semiahmoo First Nations, as well as the youth and graffiti, beats. “A lot of the youth hate the cops, which is why I try to make it a positive experience by listening to what they have to say – why they do the things they do… someone doesn’t wake up one day and choose to be an alcoholic or drug addict.”
local flavours
Derrick notes he is able to offer two perspectives due to his First Nations and German background. “I can see things differently than everyone else because I kind of fit in with two separate worlds, but kind of don’t at the same time.” In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Derrick shares his recipe for Mediterreanean Triangles, an appetizer he said is quick and easy to prepare.
Mediterranean Triangles Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic (minced) 5-10 large fresh basil leaves (chopped) 142 g fresh baby spinach (chopped) 5-7 sun-dried tomatoes in oil (chopped) 150g feta cheese (small dice) 4 tbsp asiago cheese (shredded) 2 sheets phylo pastry
Instructions:
Over medium heat use around 1 tbsp. of the sundried tomato oil to saute garlic. Once garlic becomes transparent, wilt spinach and basil in the same pan without removing garlic. Add sundried tomatoes; remove from heat. Set aside and cool. Once cool, add feta and 2 tbsp. of asiago, mix well (mixture should be moist and plyable). Brush one sheet of the phylo with olive oil. Sprinkle rest of asiago evenly on the sheet. Gently layer second phylo sheet over first and brush with olive oil. Use a sharp knife to cut phylo layers in four strips. Divide spinach mixture into four separate parts and place on end of the four strips of phylo. Gently fold mixture in the phylo from corner to corner to form a triangle (you should have four separate phylo packet triangles). Brush each triangle with olive oil. In a preheated 350 degree F oven, bake on a lightly oiled pan for 12 min (or until golden brown), flipping halfway. When the phylo are golden brown, allow to cool for a few minutes, drizzle with balsamic glaze. (Serves 2-4 people).

Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson, left, and Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau executive director Chris Bayliss with some of the 4,000-plus coats. the company’s efforts “really helped put us over the 4,000 mark.” “The response to Coats for Kids was phenomenal,” said Simpson. “The public very generously opened their closets and their hearts… many of them brought in brand-new items.” The need is greater than it ever has been, said LMCB executive director Chris Bayliss. Over the past three years, he has noticed demand increasing, and this year, it’s the busiest yet. “The lineups are crazy. It’s the craziest we’ve ever seen. We’re booming busy every minute. We put out a couple of boxfuls (of
d to o u r v a lu e
fo
coats) every couple of hours,” Bayliss said, and added they’re also handing out $10,000 a day in food vouchers. “It’s frantic.” At least 70 per cent of the families who use the LMCB have jobs – they simply don’t make enough money to make ends meet, he noted. Black Press senior vicepresident of sales and marketing Candy Hodson was pleased to see the initiative embraced with such enthusiasm. “It is so heartwarming to see the profound impact we can have in supporting charities at this time of year,” Hodson said.

They come into the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau to help give their families a Christmas. Some of their children arrive wearing only thin T-shirts, despite the colder, snowier winter that is predicted. That’s why the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is ecstatic its 15th annual Coats for Kids campaign is a huge success this year. More than 4,000 winter coats, sweaters, scarves, tuques and other items of warm clothing, as well as toys, were collected for those in need from Nov. 15-30. “This is the most we’ve ever had,” said GVHBA president and CEO Peter Simspon. “We’ve by far exceeded our expectations and set a new record as well.” Coats were collected at 34 GVHBA member companies in 13 different Metro Vancouver municipalities, including at most Black Press community newspaper offices. With Metro Vancouver’s generosity, and with help from Cintas, Black Press collected and delivered 1,500 coats and warm articles of clothing to the Coats for Kids cause; donations will be distributed through the LMCB and various agencies throughout Metro Vancouver. Simpson thanked Black Press for its participation and noted

Girl airlifted after crash A seven-year-old Langley girl was airlifted to hospital last week following a three-vehicle crash at 192 Street and 24 Avenue. According to police, the girl – who was travelling with her six-year-old brother and their 43-year-old mother – were in a Ford Taurus eastbound on 24th when the vehicle was struck in the intersection by a Saturn that was southbound on 192 Street. The Dec. 7 collision caused the Ford to collide with a northbound semi tractor-trailer. The girl’s injuries were initially believed life-threatening. Police said Wednesday her condition was later

determined less serious. The boy was released from hospital Tuesday night. The Saturn driver, a 49-year-old White Rock man, and the semi driver, a 45-year-old man, suffered minor injuries, as did the Ford driver. The collision remains under investigation, however, police say drugs and alcohol were not factors. Traffic lights at the intersection were not working at the time of the crash. The roads – 192 Street between 22 and 26 avenues and 24 Avenue east from 190 Street – were closed in both directions for several hours while police investigated. - Tracy Holmes

Walton is also taking on a much more prominent regional role as chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation, which has final say on any proposed tax and fee increases to fund TransLink.

The mayors’ council wants to negotiate new funding sources for TransLink – such as road pricing, a vehicle levy or share of the carbon tax – to avoid simply raising TransLink property taxes.
Lawyer suspended three months A Surrey lawyer was suspended Monday for three months by the Law Society of BC after he admitted to getting caught up in a fraud scheme. Sanjeev Sanj Rai failed to recognize that a series of deals put together by a Surrey realtor between 2004 and 2005 amounted to mortgage fraud. The scheme saw properties flipped at inflated prices to artificially increase their value.
More money
“It’s what’s called a value fraud,” said Law society director of Investigations Stuart Cameron. While Rai wasn’t a knowing participant in the scam, he admitted he should have been more alert.

NDP leader Carole James takes part in an an anti-HST protest in August 2009. A new survey finds most people want to know more and also want to vote in a referendum on the tax.
Ray of hope for HST: Poll Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – A poll commissioned by the B.C. government shows two out of three people want to vote on the harmonized sales tax, and a similar majority want more information to clarify a confusing debate. That means there is a public appetite for more information, including a new website and advertising to explain the tax, says Chilliwack MLA John Les, the B.C. government’s point man on the HST. Les said he was surprised a majority of those surveyed said they were worried about the effect on the economy if the HST is rejected in a referendum and B.C. returns to the old provincial sales tax. “There are so many people saying this (HST) hasn’t got a snowball’s chance anyway,” Les said in an interview Monday.
“But frankly I looked at this and I thought there is a fair bit of room for optimism, in terms of people being quite open-minded and saying, give me the information, I’m happy to participate in the referendum.” The B.C. government hired the polling firm Harris-Decima, which surveyed 887 B.C. residents between Nov. 16 and 23. More than 80 per cent said they were likely to vote in a referendum, and more than half agreed that brochures or newspaper ads explaining the HST’s impact would be helpful. “We will do what it will reasonably take to get information out to people,” Les said. “We’ll certainly do some mailouts to people as the next few months unfold.” Les, named parliamentary secretary for HST information in November, wouldn’t comment on the debate about the tax

and the referendum going on between B.C. Liberal leadership candidates. Candidates Moira Stilwell, George Abbott and Kevin Falcon have supported having the referendum in late June instead of waiting for the scheduled date of next September. Mike de Jong has said the referendum should be held as cheaply and quickly as possible, because the public is likely to reject the HST. De Jong has also argued that the government should scrap the HST information office because people have enough information. Christy Clark launched her leadership bid last week, suggesting the province-wide referendum be scrapped altogether, with MLAs having another vote in the legislature instead.

When the Representation Agreement Act came into force on February 28, 2000 there was a great deal of reluctance on the part of many lawyers to use the Representation Agreements which that legislation authorized. The feeling was that these new instruments were difficult to draft and execute, and would be far more costly than a Power of Attorney which is a short, simple and easily executed document. I admit that I was among that group of lawyers who were skeptical about the usefulness and

Representation Agreements Revisited practicality of Representation Agreements. In the seven years since they were first introduced to B.C. I have come to appreciate how useful and important Representation Agreements can be. Whereas a Power of Attorney authorizes the grantee to look after the grantor’s legal and financial affairs, a Representation Agreement can have the same application but can also authorize the representative to look after the grantor’s health and personal care needs. If you don’t think that’s important, wait until you have a sick parent, relative or friend who needs help not only with their legal and financial matters, but also with their health and personal care decisions. Without a representative to decide for them, an ailing or incompetent person’s course of medical treatment, prescriptions, nursing care, living accommodations, etc. fall to the Public Guardian and Trustee, or may become the subject of acrimonious contest between family members

Admission is $15 ($13 for students with valid I.D.) and those who want to participate in Fat City’s traditional gift exchange should bring a wrapped, unmarked gift ($5 or under) to place under the Christmas tree.

Journey of Christmas
A Peninsula favourite, St. Mark’s Anglican Church’s Journey of Christmas, returns evenings from 6-9 p.m. from Dec. 16 to Dec. 27, plus 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve (closed Christmas Day). Set in the woods behind the church, the unique nativity display tells the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus in nine separate “theatres” including murals, mannequins, props, theatrical lighting and a sophisticated soundtrack in each. Following the 22-minute journey, the public is invited inside the church for hot chocolate, cookies and sing-along Christmas carols, featuring a variety of entertainers, including the White Rock Christian Academy Senior Chamber Choir (Dec. 16); the St. Mark’s Recorder Ensemble (Dec. 19); male chorus Pacific Showtime (Dec. 20); the St. Mark’s Choir (Dec. 21); the Gilbert & Sullivan Society Singers (Dec. 23); and organ virtuoso Michael Dirk (Dec. 26 and 27, concerts at 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m.). Admission is free, but donations, gratefully received, will go to maintaining and upgrading the Journey of Christmas for years to come.

Madeline’s Christmas
Tickets are on sale again for Madeline’s Christmas, a repeat of last year’s seasonal treat from the Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO). The heart-warming production, based on the much-loved children’s stories of Ludwig Bemelmans, will run at Surrey Arts Centre on Friday, Dec. 17 (at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.) and Saturday, Dec. 18 (at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.) and on Sunday, Dec. 19 (2:30 p.m.). A 7:30 p.m. performance previously announced for Saturday, Dec. 17 has been cancelled so that the 3 p.m. matinee performance could be added. Artistic director Susan Pendleton, celebrating the company’s 14th season of productions, warns that tickets should be purchased early, as last year’s presentation sold out.
The cast, headed by eight year-old Elizabeth Olsson as plucky Madeline, includes Kallista VanBeest, Jordan Aisenstat, Fiona Firby, Paisley Hoogenraad, Madison Smith, Andrea Moorhouse, Marina Cyr, Cassandra Strain, Madison Quirk, Hayley Miller and Kylie Edwards as her classmates at an exclusive girls’ school in Paris. Kaitie Yott and Stephan Singh, two Grade 12 students from Earl Marriott, play the roles of Miss Clavel, head of the school, and Harsha, a mysterious rug merchant. For the first time in SYTCO’s history, an adult actor, Patte Rust, is working side-by-side with the children in the supporting role of housekeeper Mrs. Murphy. As an additional treat for young ticket-holders for the Saturday and Sunday matinee performances, at Madeline’s Christmas Tea Party, immediately following the show, they will be served French
pastries, hot cocoa and tea by Madeline and her friends. For tickets ($17.70; $12.70 for seniors and children five and under) call 604-501-5566. For those unable to attend the Surrey performances there will be a show Saturday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Genesis Theatre, Ladner. For tickets and information, call 604-541-4134.

HSBC Classic
The Elgin Park Orcas senior girls finished with two wins and a loss at the HSBC Basketball Classic last week, while the Southridge Storm were 11th out of 16 teams on the senior boys side of the draw. The Orcas were knocked
to the consolation bracket Tuesday after a 67-52 loss to Britannia, but then rallied to win their next two games – 77-23 over West Vancouver and 73-42 over Van Tech. The girls tournament was won by the Riverside Rapids, who beat York House 80-58 in the final. The Storm, meanwhile, finished 1-1, losing last Wednesday 79-56 to Vancouver College and winning Thursday, 49-37 over the Gleneagle Talons. Jonathan Yu led Southridge in the victory, with 14 points. Burnaby South finished first, beating R.C. Palmer in the title game.
Sharks dominate right from start � from page 31 Prior to the U17s’ dominant performance, their younger counterparts got the championship ball rolling with their 20-point victory over their Vancouver Island opponents. Bayside “got off to a flying start” according to coach Andy Blackburn, and opened the scoring just two minutes into the game when winger Josh Mahlman scored a try, finishing off a play that involved a handful of teammates before the ball ended up in Mahlman’s hands. The Sharks scored three more tries to lead 22-0 at halftime, with scrumhalf Andrew O’Connor, Christian Haldane – on a solo effort – and Mahlman, again, finding the end zone. The Wanderers finally got on the board in the second half, when –
with Haldane sent off for 10 minutes after a Bayside penalty – they scored a try to make it 22-7, but flyhalf Nick Collett replied with a try of his own to restore the Sharks’ 20-point cushion. Haldane was named Bayside’s man-ofthe-match, with his performance all the more impressive considering he spent the week before the game hobbling around on crutches after badly spraining his ankle. Much of the U15s’ success this season can be attributed to depth, Blackburn said, noting that the team began in August with 57 players, with all players pushing hard for one of the 28 spots on the team’s roster for B.C. finals. The internal competition was “undoubtedly the recipe for Bayside’s success,” Blackburn said.

Trinity Western on 10-game winning streak
Doerksen, Maras lead Spartans Strong performances on the basketball court earlier this month from Trinity Western University’s Mara brothers were overshadowed one day later by a recordbreaking teammate. In a 92-73 victory over the Fraser Valley Cascades on Dec. 6 at the Langley Events Centre, senior forward Tyrell Mara scored 17 points – including three three-pointers – and added eight rebounds, while younger brother Eli, a freshman point guard, chipped in with 16 points off the bench. But as impressive as those numbers were, they paled in comparison to what fourth-year TWU forward Jacob Doerksen did

Eagles fall to first-place Kings Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart isn’t much interested in moral victories, so despite hanging tough with the top-ranked team in the country Friday, he was far from satisfied. “The effort was good, but we’re obviously disappointed that we lost. We’re not looking for moral victories here – we want to beat those guys,” he said Monday, three days after his team dropped a 3-1 home game to the Powell River Kings, who are not only the B.C. Hockey League’s top squad, but are also first in the Canadian Junior ‘A’ Hockey League’s latest national rankings. On Friday – the Eagles’ only game of the weekend – the Kings led 1-0 after two periods, on a first-period goal from Klay Kachur, but the Eagles tied it 47 seconds into the third, when Brandon Morley potted a shorthanded marker. The score didn’t stay that way for long, however, as the Kings – on a five-minute power-play after Surrey’s Colton Mackie was ejected for checking from behind late in the second – replied with two power-play goals in the next two minutes. “They got a couple deflection goals there on the penalty, which was a tough break, but we felt we were right there with them,” Erhart said. “They’re a good test for us, and it was a tight game.” Karel St. Laurent was between the pipes for the Eagles, stopping 28 shots in the loss. The loss in their rearview mirror, the Eagles now prepare for a home game Friday against the arch-rival Langley Chiefs. The game will be the ninth between the two clubs this season, with the
one night later, in a 114-89 victory over the same Fraser Valley squad. Doerksen scored a programrecord 42 points in the Dec. 7 contest, leading Trinity Western Spartans men’s team to its 10th consecutive win. Doerksen’s efforts earned him Canada West athlete of the week honours. The Spartans (12-2) are ranked seventh in the country and the team sits atop the Canada West standings heading into the winter break. Doerksen made 16 of 25 shots on his record-breaking night, including five-of-10 from the three-point line. He also had eight rebounds and eight assists.
The previous record was 41, set eight years ago by Adam Friesen, who coincidentally was sitting on the Cascades bench as an assistant coach. “He’s doing what he’s capable of doing,” said Trinity Western coach Scott Allen, who formerly coached and taught at White Rock Christian Academy. The team now breaks until Jan. 7. “We have had a good run here but in the second half we are playing a lot better teams,” Doerksen said. “We are going to have to put a lot more work in if we want to keep this streak going.” - Gary Ahuja

The last game between the two teams, a Nov. 26 affair at the Langley Events Centre, was a fight-filled affair that featured a handful of misconducts and ejections. “The last time we played, they tried to push us around and bully us, but we’re ready,” said Erhart. “It’s been a real good season series so far.”
Teddy Bear Toss
Friday at South Surrey Arena was Teddy Bear Toss night for the Surrey Eagles, so when Brandon Morley finally got the Eagles on the board early in the third period, hundreds of plush toys rained down on the ice. Play was halted momentarily, and more than 600 stuffed animals were collected for the Salvation Army and the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Many of the bears will be delivered to children at SMH by Surrey Eagle players in the next week.

Charles Ivan Smith
September 24, 1921December 7, 2010 C. Ivan Smith passed peacefully in his sleep while in Special Care at George Derby Veteran’s Hospital in Burnaby BC. The family’s heartfelt thanks go to the nurses and staff of the George Derby Centre, wonderful people who passionately care for our elder veterans in their final years. Ivan leaves to remember: children Michael (Carolyn), Brian (Lois), Marguerite, Marion (Eric), Colleen, Sharon (Donald); fourteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. He also leaves surviving siblings: sisters Eileen (Ivan) and Betty; brother Don (Josie) and many Smith and Potruff relatives in the Ancaster / Beamsville area of Ontario. Ivan was born in Ancaster Ontario, raised in Beamsville, and in 1939 at age eighteen enlisted in the Air Force in World War 11, became a Flight Lieutenant and flew over 100 reconnaissance journeys over Europe. He never spoke much about the War, but was proud to serve in Squadron 268: to fly Mustangs, Lysanders, Tomahawks, Spitfires and Typhoons; but mostly, to serve his country. He was in the air over many battles, including D-Day in Normandy France, where he recollected with his own style of humour and infectious giggle that it was “worse traffic there than the 401 at rush hour.” Ivan never flew after the War, and swore he never missed it—said he lost too many friends. Ivan was very proud of the Smith ancestry, now thirteen generations in North America. Our Great-grandfather Reverend John Smith, chronicled to be “first of the name” in New England, immigrated from Dorsetshire, England on the ship “White Angel” to Plymouth Colony, New England in the year 1630 at age 16. The Smiths lived four generations in New England, and were quite influential in both politics and religion: Grand-father Benjamin was Justice of the Colony, his son John a lawyer and Judge. John’s son John and his family immigrated as United Empire Loyalists to Canada in 1787, settling and pioneer farming in Ancaster Township, one of four original “Smith” families (two related) to populate the Niagara Peninsula….and so this line of Smiths spread across this great country. After the War, Ivan tried some banking in Ontario (accounting was one of his strengths), then moved west to Faust, Alberta with then wife Irene (a Kenny) to join other Kenny relatives. This was where he began his career in the automotive business. The Smith and Kenny clan moved to the Surrey BC area in 1953, Ivan spending the rest of his working life as a parts-man learning the craft, becoming Parts Manager for Midway Motors and Clifford-Feedham Pontiac in White Rock until his retirement in the mid-80s. The Smith kids grew up on a five-acre farm on 24th Avenue (Sunnyside Road), where they raised and grew their own food: beef, chickens, pigs and vegetables; they never wanted for anything of material values. Dad loved his gardens, his woodworking shop and tools, and his family—there are many keepsakes of his craft drifting around the family homes. Ivan was the first of the immediate family to own a computer, which was always up-to-date with new software programs. He coaxed all of the family to “get on line before we get left behind.” Ivan was very active in the Legion, of which he was one of the early members, builders and President of Crescent Beach Legion 240 in the 1950s and 60s. He looked after the books for the Legion for many years, enjoying the social company of the “old guys” and the exuberance of the youngsters he met, many of them having grown-up with one of his Smith clan. His kids could never have gotten away with anything in Crescent Beach or White Rock that wouldn’t get passed around town in minutes! Ivan spent his last days the same way he came into the world—with dignity, respect and the love of his family. He will be cremated; a memorial service to be held in April 2011 at the Crescent Beach Legion 240, his ashes interned at a graveside service with his pioneer relatives at White Brick Cemetery, Ancaster Township Wentworth County, Ontario. His family would often say “I love you Dad,” to which he would cutely reply “Right-oh.” Well, Dad—right-oh—sleep well, heaven has another good one! With everlasting love—your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
