Hardy Staub anticipates arduous journey ahead for revived task force

Train stop in White Rock an ‘uphill fight’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

The train will stop here – if Hardy Staub has anything to do with it. The City of White Rock is reviving its Amtrak Task Force with the former mayor as chair. And the express intention is having White Rock as a regular stop for interna-

tional passenger-train service as an economic booster both for the city and the surrounding region. “It’s going to be an uphill project,” Staub said Monday, adding that “council is going to have to spend some money to get some help to point us in the right direction” in pursuing negotiations.

But Staub noted the city was halfway to achieving the overall goal in 2001, when he was still mayor. Staub and Amtrak president Gil Mallery signed a memorandum of understanding on July 24 of that year, in which Amtrak agreed to provide daily passenger service northbound to White Rock and southbound from

the city to various points in the U.S. The agreement was contingent on a number of factors, including White Rock providing station infrastructure and long-term parking, plus approvals from BNSF, Transport Canada and the Washington Department of Transportation – and also satisfactory agree� see page 4

Child’s dream comes true

Pyjama time Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Hundreds of less fortunate children in Surrey will receive new pyjamas this Christmas, thanks to the creative thinking of one local Grade 1 student. Rosemary Heights Elementary’s Reese Shelly came up with the idea of a pyjama drive after learning from his mother that some kids don’t have their basic needs met, let alone receive Christmas gifts. “It started early November when my son was talking about the fact he didn’t have as many toys as his friends,” Erin Shelly said. After discussing how some children don’t have any toys at all, the two began considering ways to give back. “We talked about a charity we could do,” Shelly said. “He suggested buying pyjamas for kids.” The South Surrey resident contacted the Surrey Christmas Bureau, which agreed to include pyjamas in the hampers of food and toys it distributes to lowincome families. Shelly appealed to relatives, friends and neighbours in hopes of collecting at least 50 pairs. That target was already surpassed after her husband rounded up 75 sets through a charity night at his Richmond restaurant, where patrons received food for half price with sleepwear donations.

With the help of friends, six-year-old Reese Shelly (right) sorts through the hundreds of pyjamas donated to his Christmas drive. The venue served as a drop-off location, while Shelly picked up other contributions from around the Peninsula. By last weekend, her house served as storage for hundreds of pyjamas in sizes ranging from newborn to teens.

“They’ve occupied my dining room and living room, but it’s been great coming down every day and seeing them there.” Six families helped bundle and sort the pyjamas Sunday, counting 362 pairs, which were matched

with additional donations of books, slippers and robes. “It completely blew us away,” Shelly said. “We were happy to get 50, so we just blew that out of the water. Without a doubt, we will have to do it again next year.”

Not only did the drive help teach Reese to appreciate what he has, it showed him the goodness in others, Shelly noted. “It was also good for him to see how generous our friends and family are.”

Weapons trainers sue over 2008 police raid Boneless

FRESH J.D. TURKEYS - ORDER YOURS NOW!

Dan Ferguson Black Press

Gordon and Jane Bader were not in their South Surrey home when some Surrey RCMP officers and members of the Delta Police arrived with a search warrant and broke down the door. The 68-year-old retired former Vancouver police officer and his 63-year-old wife were out having breakfast. However, their son, 34-year-old Sylvan, a security guard, was home sleeping. He was awakened and arrested at gunpoint. It was about 8:30 a.m. on May 16, 2008. When the parents returned around 9:30 a.m. they were arrested, too. Around 11 a.m., the Baders’ 25-year-old son, Jared, a college student, arrived at the home and was arrested. About the same time, the Baders’ other son, Travis, 32, a Ladner resident, was being arrested at the offices of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, the weapons-training facility operated by the Bader family since 1988 at 7198 Vantage Way in Delta. Travis is president and CEO of Silvercore. After their arrests, all five Baders were taken to the Surrey RCMP main detachment, where they were kept in separate holding cells for three days. The next month, the Baders were charged with multiple charges of possessing restricted firearms and ammunition, making or using explosives and other weapons-related offences. The case never went to trial. The charges were stayed by the Crown prosecutor’s office. Details of the raid and arrests are outlined in court documents filed in the Vancouver B.C. Supreme Court registry on behalf of the Baders by lawyer Cameron Ward. The Baders are suing two Surrey Mounties and one Delta police officer involved in the raid, the provincial solicitor general’s office and the Municipality of Delta, saying their rights were violated. Unspecified compensation is being sought

for alleged wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, trespass, assault and battery, negligence and malicious prosecution as well as loss of income, humiliation and distress. Their lawsuit also names a Surrey firearms officer employed by the Canadian Firearms centre gun registry and licencing authority, saying he supplied false information to the police. In response, lawyers for the firearms centre officer, the Delta Police, RCMP, solicitorgeneral and the municipality have applied to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing the various officers involved were acting in good faith and their actions were legal and without malice. No date for a court hearing has been set. Silvercore has a list of past and present clients that includes the Abbotsford and Vancouver police departments, Brinks Armoured Car, Churchill Armoured Car, Securicor Armoured Car and the Geological Survey of Canada. The company offers the Canadian Firearms Safety and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Courses (CFSC and CRFSC). It also provides training in personal safety and defending against edged weapons as well as firearms rentals, gunsmithing, and the safe disposal of old or unwanted weapons

NDP divided by ‘malcontents’

Departure surprises Surrey MLAs Kevin Diakiw

Black Press

Anger, frustration and shock are ricocheting through the NDP in Surrey this week after its provincial leader stepped down amid rancour and party infighting. Carole James announced Monday morning she was stepping down as leader of the Opposition. The decision comes after two months of internal disputes, in which several members of her caucus demanded a leadership convention to pick someone to lead them Carole James out into the next election. James called an emergency caucus meeting for Sunday, then postponed it. The next morning, she announced her resignation. “Over the last two months, we’ve seen some members of our caucus decide to use their time and energy infighting instead of working on behalf of British Columbians,” James said in a prepared statement Monday. “I and many others have made efforts to try and resolve this issue. We’ve reached out; we’ve tried to get people back to work… But the infighting continues.” Sue Hammell, NDP MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers, said the James resignation is a tremendous loss. “I’m angry,” Hammell said. “I think it’s a trag-

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has been named the fourth best mayor in the world, by the City Mayors Foundation. Watts was nominated and shortlisted for World Mayor in July, and on Tuesday, she finished fourth. “Residents of Surrey credit the mayor with transforming the city from a ‘run-down, drug-infested place’ into a community that now attracts new residents and business,” judges said. “In November 2010, she turned down the chance to run for state premier of British Columbia in order to ‘finish her work as Surrey’s mayor.’” First place went to Marcelo Ebrard, mayor of Mexico City, following an 18-month public nomination and voting process. “He has championed women’s and minorities’ rights and has become an outspoken and internationally respected advocate on environmental issues,” said Tann vom Hove, senior editor at City Mayors. Second place went to Mick Cornett, mayor of Oklahoma City, described by one of his peers as a giant among American mayors. Third place Dianne Watts in the 2010 Surrey mayor World Mayor Prize went to Domenico Lucano, mayor of Riace, southern Italy. The World Mayor Project is organized by the urban affairs thinktank, The City Mayors Foundation. The World Mayor Project started in 2004.

A task force has been formed to renew attempts to have passenger trains stop in the City of White Rock.

Economic gains cited for region � from page 1 ments with Canada Customs and Revenue, U.S. Customs and U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. “And then, only a few weeks later, an event happened in the U.S. called 9-11,” Staub said. “Everything died there.” Staub said the advent of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and an increasingly “isolationist” attitude in the U.S. meant the climate was not right then for continued negotiations for the proposed service. But White Rock’s Governance and Legislation Committee – which Monday approved the reestablishment of the task force, with Coun. Grant Meyer as council representative and Coun. Doug McLean as alternate – is betting that now is the right time to restart negotiations which could ultimately mean a huge economic benefit to the city. “(This) is a very important

committee for us to move forward,” McLean said. Staub did not pull any punches in describing to council members the challenges ahead. “It was a steep uphill fight in 2001 – it is even as steep uphill now,” he told councillors, adding that he agreed to chair the task force on condition he had input to the terms of reference and the composition of the group. Terms of reference for the task force are expected to be brought forward in January. “I don’t intend to be part of a committee that’s not going anywhere. It is of the utmost importance we follow through on this and bring some economic development to White Rock.” Staub told Peace Arch News that even as of 2001, the service was calculated as having a potential $7 million yearly economic spinoff for the city and the surrounding region. What he described as a “hand-

shake” agreement with the Semiahmoo First Nation would have provided benefit both through leasing parking space on SFN land and also employment to band members operating a shuttle service to station facilities, he said. The City of Blaine was also onside with negotiations in 2001, he said, including the possibility of a ferry service between Blaine and a new White Rock station. But there were still obstacles to overcome at that time, he said. Among them was that a daily passenger-rail service that included White Rock had also hinged on upgrades to tracks both south and north of the border paid for by Washington State and the provincial government. “I believe Washington State spent at least $100 million to bring their part up to standard, but it’s my understanding B.C. never stepped up to the plate,” Staub said.

Party leaders both victims of the HST

olitics in B.C. has always been a take-noprisoners bloodsport. For proof, one need look no further than the bookend resignations of Gordon Campbell and Carole James. Neither wanted to give up their posts as Liberal and NDP leaders; both were forced out by a small band of dissidents and provincial polling that suggested they had outstayed their welcome. No one said the job of party leader would be easy, but it’s particularly tough in B.C., where politics are polarized and elections are fought like mixed martial arts battles. Leaders need the confidence of 100 per cent of their caucus, not 84 per cent, which is roughly what both James and Campbell had toward the end. The two deserve credit for showing leadership where it was needed by stepping down early enough in the election cycle for the two parties to rebuild, and the province benefited from both their strengths. Campbell was innovative and made some great leaps forward in acknowledging climate change and the steps needed to reverse it; James was collaborative and willing to reach out to sectors not usually friends of NDP, such as small business. But both faced challenges from insiders who felt a new brand was necessary for the parties to revive before the May 2013 election. James was criticized for being dull, unimaginative and slow to take advantage of Liberal gaffes; Campbell was denounced as out of touch and dictatorial. In the final analysis, some may say Carole James was as much a victim of the harmonized sales tax decision as Gordon Campbell. She failed to gain mileage from this much-hated public policy compared to Bill Vander Zalm, who managed to revive his reputation from 20 years ago, when he was a party leader struggling – and failing – to remain at the helm. Certainly, whatever James and Campbell think of Vander Zalm’s political and popular resurgence, it should give them renewed hope if ever they decide to return to the forefront. But for now, B.C. voters will finally have their say on the HST and a new political era. But don’t expect politics in Lotusland to get any less nasty.

harmonized sales tax. They still haven’t said clearly what they would do with it. Events have moved faster than their ability to formulate even the beginnings of an actual plan. I spent some time this weekend on the NDP’s policy development website, called Our Province Our Future. Did you know that this major initiative was launched this past spring? Didn’t think so. There are impressive studies about topics like the volatility of commodity markets. B.C. has started making serious inroads into the Chinese lumber market, driven by aggressive government promotion programs. What has the NDP done? Opposed it, claiming all we can do is sell low-grade lumber at a loss. What’s the NDP’s latest wood product idea? Our Province Our Future has a discussion paper that ends with a series of important questions, such as “What can be done to generate a shift toward high value-added production?” There are lots of questions, but I didn’t find any answers. The Baker’s Dozen split with James began with the expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. His crime was to say that seven years into her leadership, James offers few ideas. Gordon Campbell’s problem was having too many ideas. His record for cabinet reorganizations alone should stand for all time. The NDP still looks like a front group for public-sector unions and not much else. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Positive motivation Editor: My congratulations to Mayor Catherine Ferguson and members of council for their forwardlooking action with regard to waste management in White Rock. Doubling and expanding the frequency of recycling pickup and reducing that for trash will certainly help the city to meet its waste management goals. In Bellingham, where I have lived, they use a similar system and it works well. In the Bellingham system, you are allowed one tote of garbage every two weeks and unlimited recycling on a weekly schedule, for the basic waste management charge. Extra trash left out – after a party, for example – is taken, with an additional one-time fee levied on the customer. Over a period of four years, I paid an additional fee on two occasions. Even though the additional fee is quite reasonable, you try hard to avoid it on principle and thus get better at recycling. I hope something similar will happen in White Rock. One again, well done by all concerned. Geoff Giffin, White Rock

Letter-writer Iain Barnes appreciates those who helped him Nov. 2.

My sincere appreciation Editor: On Tuesday, Nov. 2, I was the pedestrian knocked down by a car at the 152 Street/24 Avenue intersection. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to emergency personnel who so quickly attended to and stabilized me preparatory to having me airlifted to the Royal Columbian Hospital. My appreciation, also, to the

New homeland embraced Editor: My parents were Ukrainian. My mom was taken to Germany as a domestic at age 17, her parents to Siberia. After three years, her German family helped her escape to France. My dad escaped to France during

the invasion of Poland. My dad joined a Ukrainian contingency in the French army to fight the Nazis. Mom and dad met, married, had a small farm and learned to read, write and speak French. In 1953, the family immigrated to Canada, with new hope and with one small trunk and one suitcase. There was no social assistance, no ESL. There was a one-time small relocation cheque. Your sponsors had to help you with accommodations and food and getting you employment. Again, my parents learned to speak, read and write, in English. My parents felt this was imperative to function effectively in their new homeland. They respected the rights and freedoms afforded them. They obeyed the law of the land. They appreciated being able to preserve their culture and language secondary to Canadian culture and language. They left their anger, hates and prejudices in their crossing over to Canada. My parents were always grateful for living in a safe, largely accepting and prosperous country. No regrets! It’s too bad over the years so many immigrants don’t do the same thing. Oh yes, one more thing. Merry Christmas! Lucette Mowrey, White Rock

Consequences for her actions Editor: Re: Berner’s right to seek bail, Dec. 3. Oh dear. I assume Carol Berner’s apologist and human-rights police officer is aware of the fact that part of the prosecution evidence involved a taped video of Berner confessing to drinking glasses of wine prior to losing control of the car? I assume the same apologist is aware Berner delivered a supposedly sincere and lengthy apology to the victim’s family in court prior to sentencing, apparently taking full responsibility for her actions? Yes, I can see where one might get confused. Alan Campbell, Surrey ■ I can’t believe someone sent in this letter on such a touchy subject. I would have to ask letter-writer Catharina Leidel, is this really about our court system? From everything I have heard, Carol Berner that day did have a drink of alcohol, so does it really matter if it was one, two or more? We all know alcohol and driving don’t mix. Because of that, a beautiful child died, forever changing a family. Maybe Berner should take responsibility for that and deal with the consequences that go along with the action. Isn’t that what a lot of us parents teach our children when they are being bad and we punish them? I. Hill, White Rock

Goodwill enough to be shared Editor: The Surrey Christmas Bureau volunteers are working hard to ensure that more than 1,800 families have the basics for a pleasant holiday season. Toy drives and donations are very appreciated and put to good use. But a major part of the bureau’s success is matching a local family with a sponsor family or business. This year, there is a shortage of sponsors coming forward and we fear that the growing needs will not be met.

My Irish grandmother had a saying I’ve never forgotten. Whenever she encountered a story of someone being excessive or greedy, she would shake her head slowly and say, “Once you are warm and dry and full of good food, how much warmer and drier and fuller do you need to be?” By sponsoring a local family, you share your goodwill as you realize that you and loved ones are warm and dry and full of good food. So many others in our city are not. K.C. Gilroy, Surrey Christmas Bureau

news Court ruling leaves officials watching new operator

Raw milk farmer in contempt, avoids penalty

S U R R EY M U S E U M

Jeff Nagel Black Press

The former operator of a Chilliwackbased cow-sharing co-op has been found in contempt of court for illegally distributing raw milk but isn’t expected to be punished. Alice Jongerden of Home On The Range dairy “willfully disobeyed” a March 2010 court order barring her from making raw milk available to cow-share members, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Dec. 2. But because Jongerden left the business this fall, turning the cows over to new operator Michael Schmidt – a raw milk activist farmer from Ontario – she won’t be penalized. Schmidt, operating under the name Our Cows, says he intends to market the unpasteurized dairy products for cosmetic purposes. “It doesn’t affect us at all,” said Schmidt, who denies drinkable milk will still flow to members. “We’re having a whole cosmetic line of Cleopatra bathing milk, facial mask, body lotion and stuff like that.” Health officials aren’t yet convinced that will be the case. Jongerden tried to skirt B.C.’s law banning the sale or distribution of unpasteurized milk by simply slapping on “not for human consumption” labels. Justice Nathan Smith ruled Jongerden must have known her clients would disregard the label and continue to

Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said health officers intend to wait 30 days to ensure Jongerden doesn’t appeal the decision and then take a close look at Schmidt’s operation. “If we think there’s still a violation going on, we’ll consider further action at that time, but we have to take a waitand-see approach.”

news House prices now relatively stable, realtors say

Small gains for real estate Jeff Nagel Black Press

Lower Mainland housing prices have posted thin gains over the past year. Detached houses rose 5.6 per cent from one year ago to a benchmark price of $799,000, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Attached homes on average gained 4.1 per cent to $488,000 while condos were up 1.9 per cent to $389,000 in November compared to the same month in 2009. The Greater Vancouver association covers Metro Vancouver except Surrey, North Delta, White Rock and Langley. In those areas and points further east, benchmark detached homes are up an average 1.4 per cent from a year ago to $504,000, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Townhomes are up 1.9 per cent to $319,000 and condos gained 2.7 per cent from a year earlier to $242,000. The biggest gain in one-year prices have been in detached houses on Vancouver’s west side, which are up nearly 18 per cent to $1.7 million. Richmond houses were up 13.7 per cent to $920,000. On the downside, the stats show Port Moody houses have slid more than 10 per cent from a year

ago to $719,500. The median price of Abbotsford townhouses fell about 16 per cent to $230,000. Realtors report consistent home sales and relatively stable prices, with continued low mortgage rates helping shore up buyer demand. “Home values have been relatively stable over the last five months compared to the summer period when we were seeing some downward pressure on prices,” said Jake Moldowan, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

� from page 27 The cow-sharing co-op model was used originally to get around B.C.’s rules banning the sale of raw milk. Farmers are allowed to drink their own raw milk, so it was argued the 450 co-op members across the Lower Mainland weren’t buying milk – they were simply drinking the liquid dividends from their part-share in the operation. Medical health officers say raw milk is dangerous and linked to documented outbreaks of illness in North America. Advocates claim raw milk conveys probiotic and other health benefits absent from pasteurized milk.

Win gives Semiahmoo senior team second B.C. title in three years

Totem boys top Mariners at provincials Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Contributed photo

The Totems celebrate after the win.

Two years ago, four Semiahmoo Totems – Jake Klassen, Liam Murphy-Burke, Josh Sigurdson and Matt Bonshor – won provincial gold in their first seasons of senior boys volleyball. On Saturday, the quartet of Grade 12s won it again in their last year, too, defeating their crosstown rivals from Earl Marriott 3-0 in the title game of triple-A boys B.C. High School Volleyball Championships in Kelowna. “It’s pretty amazing, and to have two gold medals in three years is pretty great, pretty special,”

said Semiahmoo coach Kyra Iannone. “I’m just so happy with how we played – we peaked at exactly the right time.” The provincial banner provided a dose of redemption for the Totems, too, after underachieving at last year’s B.C. championship. The team was highly ranked going into provincials then, too, but struggled to a sixth-place finish. As had been the case in a handful of previous meetings this season, the Totems – who also won a provincial title in 2005 – proved to simply be too much for the Mariners in the Saturday evening tilt; Earl Marriott had only beat Semi-

ahmoo once in six tries prior to provincials, and also dropped a round robin “power pool” game to the champs earlier in the B.C. tournament. Making matters worse, EMS was forced to play the title game without Grade 12 power hitter Keenan McMullin, who sprained his ankle in the Mariners’ semifinal victory over the Riverside Rapids. “It’s a bit disappointing, but we were down a man and that made it tough,” said EMS coach Richard Thain. “But there’s no excuses. We played the best that � see page 33

Bayside’s Tanner Hoskins (in blue) dives over top of Capilano’s Arlison Castaneto in pursuit of the ball during Sunday’s U17 boys Lower Mainland final.

Pair of Bayside squads advance to B.C. finals A pair of Bayside Sharks sides are bound for provincial finals, after winning their respective Lower Mainland titles Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Bayside’s U15 and U17 boys teams both advanced, with the U15s defeating Abbotsford 29-15, and the U17s following suit with a 45-17 victory over Capilano. The U15 Sharks were led by flyhalf Nick Collett, who finished with two tries and a pair of converts, while prop Sam Kim, winger Josh

Mahlman and scrumhalf Andrew O’Connor all added tries. O’Connor’s tally was particularly impressive, coming on a 40-metre solo dash that coach Andy Blackburn called “dazzling.” Blackburn was also quick to praise the work of his back row, namely Christian Haldane – who made several big tackles before having to leave the game with a broken foot – and Dane Gordon. After staking themselves to an early lead,

Bayside had to hold back a resilient Abby squad late in the second half. The Fraser Valley visitors scored a pair of tries in the last eight minutes, but weren’t able to get any closer to the Sharks, who claimed the Lower Mainland winner’s plaque after the contest. Like their U15 brethen, the U17 Sharks also came out of the gate strong, taking a 17-0 first-half lead. “We came out flying,” head coach Adam Roberts said.

Robert Jones scored two tries for the Sharks, who also got single tries from Ian McMaster, James McKenzie, Liam Beaulieu and Quinton Wilms, who also added a handful of converts. Both the U15 and U17s will battle Oak Bay’s Castaway Wanderers in the B.C. finals Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. The U15 game kicks off at 12:30 p.m., followed by the U17 championship tilt at 1:30 p.m. - Nick Greenizan

Senior squad beat McRoberts for bronze

Mariner girls third Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Coming into the AAAA B.C. High School Girls Volleyball Championott Mariners ships, the Earl Marriott hat’s were ranked third, and that’s hed, exactly where they finished, after a bronze-medal victory tory bover Richmond’s McRoberts Secondary. The Mariners went thee am entirety of the 16-team tournament, held att n Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo, with just a single loss, a 3-2 defeat in semifinals at the hands of the Riverside Rapids, from Coquitlam. Earl Marriott nearly advanced to the

finals – they had the Rapids on the ropes in the fourth game, and needed just four points to end it, but couldn’t quite close the game, and Riverside battled back to t win the fourth, as well as the fifth match. E Earl Marriott’s Brianna Be Beamish and Alyssa Wolf – both members of Marrriott’s provincial titlew winning junior team two ye years ago – were named to th the first all-star team. The provincial banner was won by North Vancouver’s Handsworth Royals, who knocked off Riverside to claim the AAAA senior girls championship for a third consecutive year.

EMS coach ‘really proud’ of team � from page 31 we could with the guys we had, and just came up a little bit short against a really good team. “I’m really proud of the guys. We’re a fairly young team – we only have three Grade 12s – and they made it further than I ever thought they would.” In the power-pool portion of the tournament, neither Semiahmoo nor Earl Marriott dominated the field. The Totems lost their opening match to the G.P. Vanier Towhees, while EMS fell to Fraser Heights. “It was our first game, and we were nervous – there were some jitters we had to get out,” said Iannone of her team’s loss.

Next, Semi defeated Fraser Heights and the Mariners knocked off Vanier. In the third and final powerpool game for each team, Semi beat Earl Marriott. In the Round of 16, Semi opened with a victory over Killarney, beat Eric Hamber in quarter-finals and the host Kelowna Owls in semis en route to the finals, while EMS beat Penticton, Oak Bay and Riverside to get to the final contest. Iannone was quick to credit both the team’s legions of supporters who made the trek to Kelowna – “We’re like one big family,” she said – as well as her two assistant coaches, Annie Klassen and Ben Chow, a UBC

player who led Fleetwood Park to a provincial title last year. “Ben flew up after his last UBC practice and really inspired the guys – they really respect him a lot,” said Iannone. All four Totem seniors from the 2008 team earned post-tournament awards. Jake Klassen was named MVP, while first-team all-star nods went to Sigurdson, Bonshor and Murphy-Burke. “Jake and Josh played the best volleyball of their lives,” Iannone said. Earl Marriott’s Ryan Thain was also named a first-team all-star, while McMullin and Elliot Stewart made the second team. A fourth Mariner, Jim Bell, was given an honourable mention.

Returnee keys Eagles’ wins

‘I wasn’t having much fun’

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Last week was a busy one for the Surrey Eagles, but ultimately a success, as the B.C. Hockey League club won three of four games, and managed a point even in the loss. Last Wednesday, Surrey edged the Coquitlam Express 4-3 in overtime, and then took their show on the road, first coming back from a 3-0 deficit – keyed by the recently returned Richard Vanderhoek (see sidebar) – to beat the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday, followed by a 4-2 win over the Salmon Arm Silverback Saturday. The only blip on the scorecard came Sunday afternoon, when the Eagles – playing barely 16 hours after the win in Salmon Arm – lost 2-1 to the Vernon Vipers in overtime. The Birds still picked up a point in the OT loss, and now sport a record of 19-11-1-2, good for fourth place and 41 points in the Coastal Conference. They’re just one point back of the third-place Victoria Grizzlies, and just four points shy of the Langley Chiefs, who sit in second. The Powell River Kings are atop the conference, with 52 points; they’ve lost just five games all season. In Wednesday’s win over the Express, Eagles’ rookie Cobi Smith-Mass led the way, scoring his first two goals of the season. Dale Hunt, 20, was the overtime hero, scoring 4:44 into the extra frame, and Daniel Gentzler also added a goal for the Eagles,

The Surrey Eagles got an unexpected early Christmas gift last week – the return of Richard Vanderhoek from the land of the Giants. Vanderhoek, 19, returned to the team in time for Friday’s game in Trail, after originally leaving last month to play for the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. His stay in Vancouver was a short one, lasting a little over two weeks, and only one game. Vanderhoek – brought into the fold to add depth to the Giants’ offensive attack – only appeared in a Giants uniform for a Nov. 19 tilt against the Regina Pats. “I just wasn’t having very much fun,” said Vanderhoek. “I was having a pretty good season in Surrey before I left, and I missed playing with the guys.” Before leaving the Eagles, the Langley native had 43 points in just 25 games. In his first weekend back with Surrey, Vanderhoek scored four goals.

Vernon Vipers’ Brett Corkey attempts to squeeze between Surrey Eagle forwards Bradley McGowan and Beau Orser Sunday. who peppered Coquitlam goalie Khaleed Devji with 43 shots on net. Friday, Vanderhoek – who left the team last month to join the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants before returning to the flock – flew to Trail to meet back up with the team, arriving just an hour and a half before the game. He barely missed a beat reunited with centre Brad McGowan, scoring twice in the second period while also adding an assist on Hunt’s game-winner in the third. Trail jumped out to a 3-0 lead just nine minutes into the first period, before the Eagles clawed their way back. Hunt’s winner – his second goal of the game – came with under six minutes left in the third.

Vanderhoek and McGowan led the way Saturday in Salmon Arm, too. Vanderhoek had two more goals, and McGowan finished with a goal and an assist. Scott Holm also scored an unassisted marker in the second period to round out the scoring. Hunt, with his third of the weekend, was the lone Eagle to bulge the twine against the Vipers Sunday, but the real star for the Peninsula squad was goaltender Karel St-Larent. The 20-year-old stopped 48 of 50 shots he faced, and was named the game’s second star. After four games last week, Surrey’s schedule is lighter this week. They host Coquitlam tonight (Wednesday) at South Surrey Arena, and play Powell River Friday, also at home.

Mitsubishi joins in the compact SUV party. By Jim Robinson Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine.

LUNENBERG, N.S.: Time and financial meltdowns wait for no man (or woman). While Canada got off relatively lightly two years ago when the world seemed on the verge of a banking collapse, other countries, especially where cars are made, did not. Mitsubishi was just one Japanese manufacturer that pulled in its horns, slowing down the new model pipeline and holding pat. But it may have had a silver lining. Take the Mitsubishi RVR compact CUV just now hitting Canadian showroom floors. If you look in the engine bay, you’ll see a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine with a lot of space around it. That’s because this CUV was probably signed off three years ago when Mitsu’s 2.4-litre or even a V6 was planned. It gave Mitsubishi the breathing space to move to a smaller power plant. As it turns out, consumers are more than ever going for fuel efficiency that makes the RVR with a 2.0-litre an attractive proposition. The 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing produces 148 hp and 145 lb/ft of torque. It is available with front-wheel-drive (FWD) or Mitsubishi’s take on all-wheel-drive that they call All-Wheel-Control (AWC). In the U.S. the RVR will be sold as the Outlander Sport, but the Canadian arm thought that might be confusing so they went with the RVR name that is used in Japan. RVR, by the way, doesn’t stand for anything. The rationale is it just sounds cool. The RVR will be sold in SE and GT models and four trim levels. Pricing starts at $21,998 for the base SE FWD with five-speed manual transmission and $23,196 for the same model with a six-speed CVT. The AWC version with CVT starts at $24,998. Lastly the fully trimmed GT with panoramic glass roof and Sportronic CVT comes in at $28,498. With its 2.0-litre engine, the RVR has very competitive fuel economy numbers of 8.7/6.4/7.6L/100 km city/highway/ combined for the FWD manual. With the CVT FWD or AWC, fuel consumption is the same at 8.4/6.6/7.6L/100 km. Note the combined fuel number is the same for all four trim levels. While all the exterior panels including recycled plastic fenders are different from the Outlander, underneath it is the same platform. The RVR is shorter at the rear than Outlander but it still has a large amount of passenger volume which is good.

In terms of cargo, there are 1,402 litres (49.5 cu ft) behind the front seat and with the 60/40 split rear seat folded flat. That decreases slightly to 1,383 litres (40.8 cu ft) with the panoramic roof in place. Cargo space behind the back seat is 914 litres (21.7 cu ft) or, for a Lunenberg comparison, room for a lobster trap. The RVR is, like most Mitsubishi products, stoutly built, which you feel in the chassis that is void of any torsional issues that I could feel. This happens sometimes when you built a CUV on a sedan platform with the added weight and higher centre of gravity leading to increased loads on the chassis members. Driving south of Halifax is the Lighthouse Route which is highly recommended to anyone regardless of the time of year. Winding up and down through spotless and vibrantly colorful towns like Bridgewater is a treat. Here the RVR benefitted from the six speeds of the CVT but the 2.0-litre still had its work cut out for it. I was driving the GT with the sequential manual mode Sportronic with paddle shifters. This was better on the short, sharp hill climbs. We did not do a lot of main highway driving but the RVR acquitted itself well with passing not being an issue. Up around 100 km/h there was some wind noise that seemed to be coming from the very large windshield wipers. On the AWC models there is a very large rotary knob on the transmission tunnel to select drive mode including “lock” that locks up all four wheels for driving on poor surfaces. Appreciated on the back roads was the hill holding system that helps prevent rollback from a standing start. Safety is a big plus starting with seven airbags including one for the driver’s knees. Every RVR features ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist System and Brake Override System; Active Stability Control; Traction Control Logic; Hill Start Assist; and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System as standard. In panic situations, drivers sometimes hit the gas and brake pedals at the same time. If this occurs, the Brake Override System will disregard the throttle input and allow the vehicle to be stopped. Mitsubishi is proud of the Super-wide High Intensity Discharge lights on the GT. These headlamps have a much wider beam of light than traditional HID headlamps, providing much safer illumination at night. Speaking of light, the panoramic glass ceiling provides tons of it. This is the biggest one I’ve seen yet running from just aft of the windshield almost to the rear liftgate. It is fixed but there is a powered shade.

The 2011 Mitsubishi RVR is the newest entry into the red-hot Canadian compact CUV segment. It is in step with Canadian consumers who want the utility a CUV provides but with the best fuel economy possible. The interior of the 2011 Mitsubishi RVR shows the Japanese automaker has been listening and has done away with the hard plastics and lack lustre trim.

And just to add a bit of cool, the panoramic window has surround LED mode lighting. The size of the cargo area is mentioned above, but the back split seats are interesting. They not only fold ﬂat for large items but also adjust simply and easily to a “cargo” angle (17 degrees) or to the passenger-seating angle of 23 degrees. The cargo angle adds just that little extra space that can be valuable with large, square loads like a monster screen LCD TV for Christmas. At the press launch in Lunenberg, Mitsubishi ofﬁcials said they believe the RVR will hit the “sweet spot” with Canadian consumers. Buoying this belief is the fact Mitsubishi dealers delivered 1,847 units, up 27.2 per cent from the same month last year and topping the previous best October by 400 units. And for Mitsubishi, with only eight years in operation in Canada, the RVR looks as if it is coming at just the right time.
