Laura Szendrei’s mother let out a cheer Monday morning after hearing the news an 18-year-old man had been charged in the death of her daughter. “Today we are here with mixed emotions,” Rachael said at the announcement. “We feel the same depth of loss, grief and heartbreak, but today for the first time, we also have a sense of relief.” Delta Police announced the Laura Szendrei accused has been charged with victim the first-degree murder of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei. He cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, as he was 17 when the offence took place, said Delta Police Sgt. Sharlene Brooks. Laura’s father, Mike Szendrei, thanked everyone involved with locating the suspect. “At the beginning, I honestly didn’t think the police could come through, see page 2

The days of smoking while waiting for the bus in Surrey are on the chopping block. The city is drafting a bylaw banning smoking at bus stops after Surrey placed a bus stop so close to a Clayton home, smokers were in violation of the city’s existing law. As reported in Peace Arch News Friday, Sophia D’Amato complained after the city put a bus stop within five metres of her home in the 6700block of 194 Street. The city’s bylaw requires smokers to be a minimum distance of 7.5 meters from any door, window or vent. Cigarette smoke from people waiting at the stop wafted into D’Amato’s and her neighbours’ homes. On Monday, Surrey’s manager of transportation, Jaime Boan, sent D’Amato and nearby homeowners an email proposing a solution. “We have agreed that we would modify our smoking bylaw to explicitly prohibit smoking at bus stops,” Boan wrote. “This will avoid the argument that individuals could not be expected to know that it is within 7.5 m of a door/ window. This change would be done in conjunction with the bylaw change to prohibit smoking in public parks.” Signs are to be posted at all Surrey bus stops over the next few weeks, and fines won’t be handed out for Brian Giebelhaus photo another 30 days beyond that. see page 4 Transit-user Robert Lagault learns Tuesday morning that Surrey is planning to ban smoking at city bus stops.
$400-million port discussed for Cherry Point
U.S. shipping proposal a concern in White Rock Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A proposal to build a port terminal south of the U.S. border in nearby Cherry Point – which could be used to ship coal exports – has not yet received a looked-for resolution of support from Blaine council. Blaine council members concerned about the impact on air and water quality asked for more information on the port proposal when it came before them last week. But U.S. environmentalists warn that pres-
sure is being brought to bear on politicians to support the $400-million proposal – from Seattle developer SSA Marine – for its potential to create jobs and boost tax revenues. The proposed terminal, which would be located south of British Petroleum’s Cherry Point refinery, is expected to come back before Blaine council as early as next Monday with a more detailed presentation. White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson told Peace Arch News Tuesday that she had heard nothing of the proposal. ABBA CADABRA
Coming Mar. 19 Early bird tickets available
Ferguson said she will seek full information on the proposal and its potential impact on the environment of Semiahmoo Bay, which, she said, could result in concerns being expressed to U.S. authorities. “Obviously, we are going to be taking a look at this, to find out what is being proposed, what the effects could be and what environmental measures are going to be put in place,” she said. “We can have discussions with our counterparts in Blaine and explain to them the impacts their decision could
have on us, although they ultimately have the authority to make that decision.” Proponents would like the ground to be broken for the port – which could also handle grain, potash and other materials – by the end of next year, with full operation by 2017. Blaine Mayor Bonnie Onyon indicated her support for the project at the Feb. 14 meeting, citing economic benefits and noting environmental-impact has been overblown. A spokesperson for SSA Marine could not be reached for comment at press deadline.

There is also going to be some sense of distress knowing that this individual is from our community.”

news Insufficient enrolment throws future in question for kindergarten, Grade 1
Youngest grades at Laronde ‘not viable’ Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
The future of kindergarten and Grade 1 in Laronde Elementary’s English-speaking program is in question due to declining enrolment. According to a letter sent out to parents last week from Surrey School District assistant Supt. Rick Ryan, there are two Laronde students enrolled in kindergarten this year, and “all indications are that the kindergartenaged population will be very low again next year.” “At this point, we are anticipating that a K/1 combined class will not be viable for next school year,” the letter states. Currently, all Engish-speaking kindergartens, Grade 1s and Grades 2s are in one class of 17 students. Without the K/1 split, it is unclear how the grades would be grouped, said district
spokesperson Doug Strachan, who noted the French-immersion program includes kindergarten and Grade 1. “The first thing is to meet with the parents at Laronde and really go from there as needed.” A meeting is scheduled for March 1, 6:30-8 p.m., at the 1880 Laronde Dr. school, when parents are invited to discuss the situation. “We have to be responsible enough to look at contingencies and give everyone involved as much notice as possible,” Strachan told Peace Arch News Monday, noting the district is “hopeful” the class size will be sufficient by the time enrolments are confirmed for next year. “The way it’s looking right now, there’s definitely not enough students to make that class. There’s still a bit of time, but that’s one of the things we have to be prepared to consider.”
Although students can enrol “right up to the day of classes beginning, and beyond that,” Strachan said the future of the class will be determined sooner. “For planning purposes and the resources that need to be allocated and decided for the school year… those types of decisions are really tied to the budget decisions, which must be made this spring.” If a kindergarten/Grade 1 class is not made available, the district will secure placements for children who require kindergarten or Grade 1 at neighbouring schools that have capacity, Ryan’s letter states. “Parent choice of a neighbouring school will be our first consideration.” Additionally, the district will assist if a kindergarten or Grade 1 student has a sibling at Laronde, and parents request both children be placed at a neighbouring school, the letter says.
It goes on to say the district will explore, if necessary, the possibilities of expanding capacity where possible at neighbouring schools to assist with securing placements that are acceptable to parents. Strachan said there are four other elementary schools in the Elgin area – Ocean Cliff, Crescent Park, Ray Shepherd and Chantrell Creek. This is not the first time Laronde Elementary has faced restructuring due to dwindling enrolment. It was this time last year that the district proposed to adjust catchment boundaries and shift half of Laronde’s French-immersion program to Ray Shepherd for the 2010-2011 school year to address declining enrolment in Laronde’s English-speaking program. The plan was shelved, and Laronde instead took measures to rebuild its English program.

Ken Smith and several other boaters were told their leases would not be renewed as a result of orders the marina has been given to downsize.
Crescent Beach Marina ordered to downsize by provincial government
‘Extreme hardship’ for evicted boaters Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A trespass notice ordering operators of Crescent Beach Marina to downsize or face penalties has left several long-term boaters high and dry as they scramble to find new homes for their vessels and/or boathouses. The boaters say they learned of a problem last fall in a Nov. 26 letter advising them their moorage agreements would not be renewed and that they had until Feb. 15 to vacate their slips, in order for the marina “to comply with the removal order imposed by government staff.” The situation has created “extreme hardship” for some, said Ken Smith, who moored his boat at the 12555 Crescent Rd. marina for most of the past 15 years, before moving it to Ganges Island last week. The issue is compounded by a lack of available moorage in the Lower Mainland that has left displaced boaters with few options, he said. Smith and his wife, Elizabeth Johnston, are among a group calling itself the EBoaters. They came together to try and resolve “a very difficult situation,” Johnston said. While they have been unable to confirm
exactly how many boaters have been impacted by the lease terminations, it is believed the number may be as high as 20. For some, timing of the marina’s notice to leave has meant risking a dangerous move, or simply walking away. Smith said one couple relinquished their boathouse – worth as much as $26,000 – as a result of the situation. They transferred ownership in exchange for $10, he said, adding that the buyer has been told the odds the boathouse will survive a winter-weather tow are just 50 per cent. Another couple is also considering walking away, he added. “Some of them are possibly going to lose their total investment,” Johnston said. “It’s been extremely stressful.” The November letter, signed by marina manager Carol Charles, explains that a survey determined some boathouses and docks extend beyond the marina’s water-lease boundaries and “we have no other choice than to downsize the marina.” The letter notes that “months” of negotiations were unsuccessful in resolving the issue. Smith, Johnston and other impacted boaters – some who have moored at the marina for
more than 20 years – say the situation could have been handled better. They question how those chosen to leave were determined, and why their suggestions for an alternative solution were not even considered. “The unfortunate thing is there are a whole bunch of people being impacted in a very significant way,” Johnston said. “The way the marina has handled it has not been professional.” Reached Friday morning, Charles declined to comment. Charles’ letter to the boaters states the decision on who had to leave was based largely on size “and the best fit for the marina given the constraints we presently face.” The impacted boaters claim none of their vessels or boathouses were located in the trespass zone. According to the notice of trespass from the Integrated Land Management Bureau, the marina has occupied a portion of Crown land without authorization since at least Dec. 16, 2009, and at least two deadlines to comply with orders to fix the problem have passed. The marina has now been given until March 31 to comply, officials say.
A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has awarded a woman almost $30,000 after finding the owner of a South Surrey company guilty of sending her sexually harassing text messages. Metro Aluminum Products and its owner, Zbigniew Augustynowicz, argued text messages sent to employee Lisa McIntosh did not constitute sexual harassment or discrimination. B.C. Human Rights Tribunal member Enid Marion disagreed. “The fact that she only referred to a portion of the text messages as being sexually harassing does not recast the content of the texts, the adverse impact on her or whether, at law, the text messages constitute sexual harassment,” Marion wrote in the finding released last week. McIntosh, a 40-year-old driver with Metro Aluminum Products, said she had been in a relationship with Augustynowicz until she found out he was still married. She then tried to break off the relationship, but continued to receive unwanted text messages from Augustynowicz. “I find that, after she requested Mr. Augustynowicz to stop, Ms. McIntosh was subjected to repeated and unwelcome sexualized text messages,” Marion found. “The texts reveal that, after their sexual relationship had ended and Ms. McIntosh had asked him to stop making such comments, Mr. Augustynowicz repeatedly texted sexual propositions or references to her, such as ‘need a nooner…’” Marion ordered payment of $14,493.80 in lost wages, $2,900 for expenses incurred, and $12,500 as damages for injury to dignity, feelings and self respect. Augustynowicz did not attend the hearing, which was held between Aug. 17 and 20 of last year. The judgment was made public Tuesday.

Fines would range up to $2,000 White Rock from page 1 Boan told Black Press Monday that he’s waiting on word from one of the city lawyers as to how far people would have to be from a bus stop to comply with the new bylaw. Most of the bus stops have a cement pad, he said, and noted it would likely include that area. Fine for a violation would range from $100 to $2,000 if the charges went by way of a summary conviction. Several other cities also have bylaws prohibiting smoking at bus stops including Richmond, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, to name a few. Reaction among transit riders to Surrey’s new bylaw is mixed. Andrew McCormick, 17, thinks the ban is a terrible idea.

news Kolby Fraser died after van flipped on highway
Friends rally around family of girl killed in Aussie crash Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Friends and former co-workers are rallying around a Cloverdale woman, following the unexpected death of one of her twin daughters in Australia last week. Kolby Fraser, 21, died Feb. 13 when the camper van she was a passenger in lost control on the Arnhem Highway near the Northern Territory town of Jabiru. The 23-year-old driver – Kolby’s boyfriend – survived the crash. In recent years, Kolby, sister Koral and mom Tracee Fraser all worked at Charlie Don’t Surf in White Rock. And while it has been a few years since those days, the tragedy has hit hard nonetheless, said Arun Fryer, one of the Marine Drive restaurant’s managers. “We’re sort of like a family down here,” Fryer said. “If it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.” To help ease the financial side of Tracee Fraser’s loss, Charlie’s will host a benefit for the single mom Thursday (Feb. 24). Details were still being finalized at Peace Arch News press time, however, organizer Tracy Gass said the night will feature an appetizer buffet, a silent auction and a wine board.

She was really smart, great head on her shoulders,” Gass said. Gass said she was told Kolby and her boyfriend were driving along a stretch of Arnhem Highway that is notorious for dangerous potholes when the
crash occurred. It was raining at the time, and it is believed the couple likely didn’t realize just how big one of the potholes was. The camper van hit it and flipped, Gass said. It came to rest on its side. Kolby was due to return home from Australia March 1. A memorial service was held Monday at Relate Church in Cloverdale to remember a young woman who loved to travel, had a passion for life and “would want us to remember the good and happy times she had here with us.” Hundreds of people turned out to the standing-room-only service. Tickets to Thursday’s benefit are $50. To purchase, for more information or to donate items for a silent auction, Gass may be reached at 604-551-8071. Tickets will also be available at the door Thursday night, 15011 Marine Dr., from 6 p.m.

Arrest is a step toward reclaiming community
A
n arrest has finally been made in connection with the shocking murder of North Delta teen Laura Szendrei, 15, who died after being attacked on a Saturday afternoon last September in Mackie Park. An 18-year-old male – also from North Delta – is charged with first-degree murder. He cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act as he was 17 when the offence he is charged with took place. The news – announced Monday morning by Delta Police – is most welcome. It is also bittersweet. A bright young woman is dead after a senseless act of violence. Her loved ones will forever grieve as they try move forward without a precious missing piece. And a community is left to grapple with the sobering news that one of its own stands accused of such a brutal crime. As Delta Police Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said of the young man’s arrest: “I think today there is going to be a sense of relief in the community. There is also going to be some sense of distress knowing that this individual is from our community.” For months after Laura’s attack, a layer of foreboding permeated Delta’s parks, its school playgrounds, its wooded areas and trails. Nature-lovers travelled in pairs or packs, kids and teens were reined in by anxious parents, and a sense of disbelief was everywhere: How could this happen in North Delta? The arrest will surely spur even more questions. But it could also inspire a renewed resolve – to not allow a heinous act to cripple a close-knit community; to refuse to become shackled by fear. Registration is underway for a fundraiser in honour of Laura Szendrei (www.lswalkrunroll. com/). With proceeds from a five- and 10-km Walk, Run & Roll, organizers plan to create a pair of sports scholarships in Laura’s memory. They also aim to achieve something else. “This initiative will serve as a key part of a broader campaign to support the families of innocent victims of violent crime,” the website says. “We are all aware of individuals and families around us that have suffered through the loss of a loved one in a senseless act of violence and we are committed to supporting those who want to seek change.” Banding together for a better community: A fitting way to honour one of North Delta’s lost citizens.

105 responding economist and business executive who rose to be secretary of state for Ronald Reagan. With plans for a carbon trading system in disarray in the U.S., Campbell said Schultz pointed to B.C.’s revenue neutral carbon tax and said that is exactly what other jurisdictions should be doing to reduce greenhouse gases. By 2012, the B.C. carbon tax will account for just under seven cents on a litre of gasoline, on top of other fuel taxes B.C. and Ottawa continue to collect. It will set a “carbon price” of $30 a tonne across all fossil fuels. Campbell is convinced the carbon tax will survive, if not grow. He says leadership candidates should look at continuing the increases that are mandated until 2012, and continuing to offset them with personal and business income tax reductions. One leadership candidate is already touting the benefits of the carbon tax, and surprisingly, he’s not a BC Liberal. The NDP’s John Horgan now admits he was wrong to oppose the tax, but he wants it extended to the non-fuel emissions of heavy industries. Horgan has also cautiously embraced Campbell’s other main climate effort, run-of-river hydro and wind power, although he wants public ownership through a new BC Hydro division. Campbell’s climate agenda will have to reach beyond today’s mainly symbolic effort and spread to other jurisdictions if it is going to change the course of B.C. history.

Most want to share the road Editor: Re: Gang mentality on our roads, Feb. 11 letters. I am one of those Monday/ Wednesday/Saturday runners whom letter-writer Carolyn Barone castigates. We do frequent 18 Avenue, because there is less traffic and it is a funnel route back to where our club starts out.
We sometimes run on the road – there and elsewhere – because asphalt is softer than concrete sidewalks, if there is a sidewalk; or on the shoulder, because dirt is softer than asphalt. The sidewalks are not always even, and in the dark we can trip over uneven sidewalks. Yes, we wear lights, but until you’ve run with a light on your cap, you’ll never understand how tricky it is. We also call out “car up!” when there’s oncoming traffic – a cue for everyone to skinny-up and give way. We, as a group, are instructed
to be respectful and wary of those with whom we share the road. The leadership of our club is to be commended for this diligence. More than 100 of us meet three or four times a week to pursue our passion. We run the same routes, at varying speeds, so it will seem like there are gangs of us. Please don’t blame the entire group for the arrogance of a handful of us. I don’t know why I feel like I should apologize to those drivers who are offended. I guess it’s more of an explanation, and a plea
for understanding. In my group, I give a wave of thanks to drivers who are courteous. I thank the letter writer for her reminder that not everyone is so understanding and willing to share the road. We know our place, and I, for one, will be more diligent in respecting the space drivers need. Perhaps she would like to join us for an outing? We are sure to have a pace group that will suit her fitness level, and I expect she would enjoy the edification. Rob DeMone, White Rock
Mixed reviews Editor: Re: Internal criticism shocks Hiebert backer, Feb. 16. It is unfortunate those who have resigned from the Conservative EDA choose to air their dissent so publicly. The EDA continues to support MP Russ Hiebert 100 per cent and look forward to the future with enthusiasm for him. There is a natural ebb and flow in any organization with people leaving for various reasons. Those of us who are still on this committee are more than well able to handle business and we look forward to the coming year with all its political twists and turns. Concerning the posted Internet letters and the use of disgusting language, they tell me these letter writers would not be part of the political party I support nor would I want them to be. L. Wright, Surrey
Party atmosphere What a difference seven years make. I attended the recent annual general meeting of the Conservative party at the Hazelmere Golf Course. There was a great spread of sandwiches, cookies, coffee and tea, and everyone partook lustily. The names of 30 prospective board members were transposed on a screen but none were introduced nor were their intentions made clear as to why they would want to be on the board. As there were no nominations from the floor, the 30 were acclaimed and that was that. Back we went to the coffee and tea, and out came the chocolate fountain to dip in the fresh strawberries and listen to the band, which had been hired to celebrate the annual winterfest of the Conservative party. I have been informed by reliable sources that this shindig cost more than $7,000. I’m also told that of the 30 board members elected, fewer than 20 ever turn up for meetings. So who puts this list together and why is it always exactly 30? Maybe because after 30, one has to have an actual vote and then somebody might get in whom no one wants. As I sat and pondered, I reminisced about the AGMs we used to have, before Russ Hiebert came on the scene. They were usually held at the Elks club, at Sunnyside Hall or in a school gym. There was a lady who

Fans and foes of MP Russ Hiebert weigh in after PAN revealed former members of his executive quit over his ‘spin.’ brought an urn with coffee and a plate of cookies, and if you wanted to partake of that, you paid $1. Everyone who was on the slate was introduced by name and background, and they stood up so that everyone could see who they were. Including nominations from the floor, there were never more than 22 people eligible to be on the board. Everyone present got to vote and at the end, we sent around a bucket to collect donations to pay for the hall. Expenses incurred were negligible. I thought I’d say thank you to all the people who make donations to the local constituency and tell them I really enjoyed the spread at Hazelmere that their money has bought. They may not have meant the money to go there but, hey, this is Russ Hiebert and things are different now. Money is no object and changes are made only when spending costs are made public. You might also want to increase your donations a little, because the costs of transporting the Hiebert family back and worth will increase as, proudly announced by Russ at the meeting, there is a baby on the way. Needless to say, I will not attend another AGM. Things are different now and I don’t like the smell of it. Edie Williams, Surrey
Expenses reduced The adverse readers’ comments in the Peace Arch News website article do not reflect the views of the majority of the members of the Conservative electoral district association board. The commenters are entitled
to their views, but some of their statements were not accurate and were demeaning to the 30 very capable volunteers who serve on the board. The MP expense issue was addressed publicly last year; costs have been considerably reduced. Russ Hiebert and his staff conducted three public-information sessions in the last several months on retirement planning, taxation and benefits issues for seniors, and a highly successful public telephone conference call with the finance minister, during which a good number of constituents were able to address questions to Jim Flaherty relating to the upcoming budget. All of these public events were well attended and very much appreciated. The Conservative government has reduced tax rates and brought in important measures to fight crime. Canada’s economy, along with Germany’s, has weathered the recent credit crisis much better than most countries in the western world, a credit to their leadership. Bill Taylor, White Rock
Weary of ‘yes’ crowd It would appear that the doctor of spin’s antics are slowly catching up with him. I’ve said all along that the parachuted-in candidate – now MP – in this riding is more concerned about his own welfare than that of his constituents and this riding. There are the constant self-serving mail-outs ad nauseum, the mediaseeking ‘town hall meetings,’ and
don’t get me started on the photo ops. It’s all ‘spin’ and performed with your tax dollars. That expense largesse he tried to squirm out from was typical of the smoke-and-mirrors dialogue coming from this MP. It’s never his fault, you see. Spending upwards of $700,000 of your tax dollars on expenses was OK’d by his masters in Ottawa. He even sought their approval. Now, he’s telling us, “I’m reformed, I’ve cut back on my extravagant expenses and am listening to the constituents.” This all rings hollow since this matter became public. In any event, I’ve grown weary of this MP’s antics and those of his staff – the yes crowd. The people of this riding need someone in this job that acts on their behalf first and foremost. We need to have someone who will rely more on action than ‘spin.’ A. White, Surrey
There for the people I am a member of the Conservative EDA. I am fully supportive of MP Russ Hiebert and look forward to working with him. Hiebert is a hardworking MP and, in fact, does meet with his constituents; he is there for the people. There are many reasons that member in any organization leave – i.e. family commitments, moving to another area, retirement etc. One can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

Listen to constituents
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON
I am delighted to read that others would like to see a nomination process in which MP Russ Hiebert could be challenged by other candidates. The Conservative party’s national office should take a lesson from what is happening in Egypt and listen to their constituents. I would like to see Val Meredith contest the nomination, if she feels so inclined. Richard Robinson, Surrey
Other MPs now spend more For many years, I have supported the Progressive Conservative member Benno Friesen, Reform member Val Meredith and Conservative member Russ Hiebert. I have canvassed with Hiebert, worked on his campaigns and have always found him to be upbeat and most interested in representing the citizens of his riding. His expenses in 2008-’09 are a thing of the past and in 2009-’10 were reduced. However, why did Peace Arch News not report that Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal (Newton-North Delta) spent $55,000 more than Russ Hiebert, or that New Democrat Nathan Cullen (SkeenaBulkley Valley) was the highest spending in B.C., more than Hiebert, in 2009-’10? If Peace Arch News is going to only report on one member’s spending, perhaps they should check out the spending of all members and report the numbers. As for disaffected members in the article, who are critical of Russ, perhaps they should raise their concerns to all the members instead of the press. Gordon Hammond, White Rock
Hiebert costs Conservatives EDA board president Andrew McVie is clearly out of tune with the majority of Conservatives in this riding. From personal experience, watching Russ Hiebert’s performance and from what I hear on our streets, I am convinced he is not the man that meets the expectations of this riding or the community at large. After all, he was parachuted into this riding and really doesn’t understand the needs of the community. I am of the strong opinion that if Hiebert was to run in the next federal election, the Conservative party would lose this riding, even though it has been successful for well over the past 25 years. Fiscal responsibility is one of the cornerstones of our party, but since his election seven years ago, Hiebert has shown that he does not take that responsibility seriously. The people of this riding deserve to know how he spends the funds of the riding association and public funds, and whether his riding manager – now apparently under contract as the regional manager of the Conservative party – is being paid with taxpayer dollars for political purposes. What’s needed is a forensic audit of Hiebert’s spending behaviour. I’m also concerned that he rarely, if ever, champions any of our concerns. He always appears to be in a campaign

I predict Peace Arch News will now receive a barrage of letters from people proclaiming Hiebert’s virtues. I would not be surprised to learn that a large number of those letters will have been written either by his staff or members of his inner circle. A number of people will be asked and urged to sign these letters, to make it appear that they contain the opinions of the community. Another attempt to spin? If Hiebert wishes to be our candidate at the next election, he should be elected by the Conservatives of this riding and face citizens of this community who might want to run against him.

Look at bigger picture
the age-old question: Does it make a difference if you elect a member of Parliament from the ruling party or not? We’ve had a Conservative MP in times of a Liberal government, and little attention was paid to this riding. Now we have a Conservative MP with a Conservative government – little has changed. I would suggest Peace Arch News add a column reporting on Hiebert’s activities in Parliament, specifically when he rises to speak. I can tell you it will not be a long column, nor will it be published often. Based on the reportings of Hansard (openparliament.ca), Hiebert rarely speaks in Parliament, and often when he does, it is the well-rehearsed, selfpatronizing, regurgitations of the Conservative party line, aka spin.

Hospital gets $5M
FEB. 24
ONLY!
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Surrey’s new outpatient hospital will bear the name of B.C. billionaire Jim Pattison after the business magnate pledged $5 million to help outfit the $237-million facility. The Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre opens to patients June 1 and Pattison said he wants to ensure it’s well-equipped to serve the rapidly growing city. “To attract good doctors you have to have good equipment,” Canada’s fourth richest man said at a ceremony Monday to announce the new name. Pattison’s contribution will match every incoming donation until the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation reaches its $10-million target for money for equipment at the outpatient hospital in Green Timbers Park. The new campaign lasts 100 days and is dubbed 100 Days to Give. It’s not the first big health donation for Pattison, whose family foundation previously gave $20 million to a wing of Vancouver General Hospital that also bears his name and $5 million to match donations for a new ER at Lions Gate Hospital. “It helps people from all walks of life,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor or female or male. It doesn’t matter what ethnic background you have. Hospitals help everybody.” His daughter works in Surrey and proposed the donation, he said. The 82-year-old remembers how

Jim Pattison speaks at the site of Surrey’s new surgery centre. North Surrey was almost all farmland when his parents helped found a new church in the area decades ago. He marvels at the change since then. “A lot of our friends have moved to Surrey from Vancouver,” the West Vancouver resident said. “It’s a fastgrowing area with people coming in. So they need the help.” “We are extremely grateful for his support and his vision for this community,” said hospital foundation director Tracy Redies, who was also there as CEO of Coast Capital Savings to announce a contribution of $500,000. Matched by Pattison, that leaves the foundation 60 per cent of the way to its $10-million goal. The outpatient hospital is expected to help the over-burdened Surrey Memorial Hospital by shifting over day surgeries and diagnostic procedures, and increasing acute-care capacity.

New barrier saves life Staff Reporter
Police are crediting a new cable median along Highway 99 with saving the life of a Surrey woman Sunday night, after she lost control of her SUV and flipped it over the barrier. “It did make a difference,” said Deas Island RCMP acting Cpl. Robert Sayer. “The cable barrier absorbed enough of the kinetic energy that she was able to stop before actually colliding with another vehicle.” The woman, a Surrey resident in her 50s, was southbound on the highway around 7 p.m. Feb. 20 when she was
Passenger killed Surrey Mounties are appealing for anyone who witnessed a fatal motor vehicle crash last Tuesday (Feb. 15). Mohinder Sekhon, 61, was killed when a Ford F350 hit the Toyota Corolla in which he was a passenger. The Ford was travelling southbound on King George
apparently cut off by a Nissan sedan just north of the Burlington Northern overpass. Her Ford crashed into and over the cable barrier, flipping “multiple” times, Sayer said. The woman suffered minor injuries. Sayer said investigation is ongoing, however, speed was definitely a factor in the crash. The cable – installed last year as part of efforts to improve safety along a 22-kilometre stretch of the highway – was central in preventing a fatality, he said. “If the barrier weren’t there, she probably would not have survived the crash.”

Fatal crash One man is dead and two others, including a Surrey man, are in hospital with serious injuries following a crash Monday involving
three semi-trailers. Police say the loaded commercial trucks collided on Highway 1 near Hope around 9:15 p.m. Police believe heavy snowfall and slippery conditions may have been factors in the crash. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact Const. Steve Small at 604-7024039.

Doug Hart retires from chamber of commerce

Staff Reporter
hile Doug Hart is looking forward to a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle after leaving his post as the local chamber of commerce’s executive director next month, he admits he won’t be able to fully disappear from the scenes.

The Peninsula Resort Retirement Living
G
isele Battle had been living in an ocean-front condominium in White Rock with her husband when she decided it was time to move into a retirement community. It wasn’t uncommon for her husband – whose memory had begun to deteriorate – to leave the refrigerator door open, the gas turned on or their doors unlocked. “I was really beginning to get worried for our safety,” said Gisele, noting
they’d been lucky enough to avoid any disasters. “We were really fortunate he didn’t set fire to the building.” Carting groceries to their suite also became a challenge. “I remember going to Safeway and carrying these huge bags of food up to our floor – it was pretty tiring – I just couldn’t do it anymore.” After touring various retirement communities in the area, Gisele knew she had found their new home upon
visiting The Peninsula Resort Retirement Living on 2088 152 St. in South Surrey. “I fell in love with it here right away… how could you not?” said Gisele who now resides in a bright, two-bedroom garden-view suite. The Peninsula opened around five years ago, combining the natural beauty of the area with all the advantages and conveniences of a modern and spacious retirement residence.
Often compared to a luxurious cruise ship that never leaves dry land, the architecture and interior design of the The Peninsula is tasteful and elegant. The use of wood, tile and rich fabrics gives it a bright, exciting resort feel that makes you feel like you’re on permanent vacation. Suites range from studio apartments to two bedrooms; each complete with kitchenettes, in-floor heating and an en see page 21

When it comes to elegant dining, The Peninsula is second to none. Two meals are served daily in the full-service dining room, offering a diverse selection of freshly prepared, tasty entrees, appetizers, desserts, soups and salads prepared from scratch Chef Vern, a registered Red Seal chef, who has been at The Peninsula since the beginning. There are also tea stations that offer fresh fruit, homemade snacks, juice or hot beverages, available on a self-serve basis throughout the day. For those expecting guests and wanting a little privacy, the elegant private dining room is available to residents. At The Peninsula, making its residents’ lifestyle as comfortable and worry-free as possible is a top priority, according to marketing manager Maria Hart, who joined The Peninsula team last November. Whether you enjoy some quiet time in the lounge, or a walk in the attractive landscaped grounds, the numerous amenities are available to enhance your enjoyment, all the while ensuring your safety and convenience. “Family members of residents take comfort in knowing the building is fully-secure, with around-the-clock call bell monitoring and assistance
from professionally trained staff,” said Maria, noting there’s Assisted Living Services designed for residents who require additional assistance with activities of daily living. “Depending upon one’s individual needs, this assistance may include medication reminders, dressing, bathing and grooming assistance as well as on-going assessments.” In celebration of The Peninsula’s fifth anniversary this spring, Hart and the rest of the staff have been busy making plans for a big 50s style party for residents called ‘Where Where You in ’52?, which will be held at the residence on April 29. “We’re really looking forward to this event… it’s going to be a huge hit with the residents,” said Maria of the sock hop and hot rod party. “We’ll have a well-renowned band playing, plenty of dancing as well as dance instruction, costumes and some classic hot rods on display. As a special treat, Chef Vern will be making homemade ice cream sundaes and floats as well as a fabulous 50s-style barbecue buffet.” The Peninsula is proud to now be managed by The Avenir Group, a family-owned and managed company that builds and designs prominent senior communities providing a better lifestyle for the ever-growing senior population.

Romance doesn’t have to stop after retirement A growing number of people entering the world of dating are over the age of 50. While some things have changed since they did this the first time around, the rules of dating have largely
remained the same. However, the fact remains that many seniors are re-entering the dating world after divorces or the death of a spouse. Some eternal bachelors and bachelorettes may have
never left. For those about to re-enter the dating game in their senior years, these tips and tidbits may help make the process a bit easier: • Mix with fellow singles.

Some of the same rules of romance and courtship apply whether you’re dating at 50 or at 20. Single seniors are invited to join the senior activities of the Mixed Singles Over 60 Club in White Rock, which engages members in stimulating activities and allows them to interact with other seniors during the activities and outings. The club meets every third Thursday. For more information, call Carole at 604-590-4992. • Use dating sites. For those shy about simply mingling in the singles’ social scene, online
sites offer a measure of anonymity and can take away some of the pressure. Plus they enable daters to pool from a wide array of potential mates. Dating sites also give those seeking mates a chance to learn a little about what makes the other person tick, which can be a good starting point for conversation. • The numbers are favourable for men. Senior men entering the dating world have an
easier time of finding a potential date simply because there are more women than men in the senior age bracket. Women tend to live longer than men, which widens the dating pool for gentlemen. • Use tried and true tactics. Some of the same ways people landed a date in the past remain the best ways to land one now. Individuals can ask to be set up by friends with single acquaintances. People can participate in activities they enjoy and chat with others who share the same likes. Simply being friendly and getting the word out that there is an interest in dating may help. • Get a makeover. Now may be the time to explore some new wardrobe options or experiment with a different haircut. Potential mates will likely want a date who looks put together and current. Although you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, most people still do. • Realize it may take time. Finding the right match may take several dates and patience. Just because a person is now older doesn’t mean he or she has to be desperate and accept the first person who comes along. If there’s no chemistry, move on. Once that special person is found, it will be worth the effort.

Healthy aging includes safety behind the wheel It’s common for men and women to periodically reassess their lifestyle as they age. With a goal toward healthy aging, most people can recognize the role their lifestyle plays in their overall health. An often overlooked part of healthy aging is how some, if any, physical changes have affected how a person drives his or her automobile. Any adult who has had to discuss driving with an elderly relative knows how difficult such a discussion can be, as automobiles have long represented a certain level of independence no adult wants to give up. But even those who have yet to reach retirement age should assess their driving to determine if aging has begun to affect their driving. Such an assessment can help men and women determine if it’s time to take steps to make themselves safer drivers. • Assess Eyesight A driver’s eyesight is integral to his or her safety on the road. Fortunately, eyesight can be corrected with prescription glasses or even surgery. Men and women who have trouble reading street signs or seeing street markings might need an eye examination. Also, if dusk or nighttime driving has grown more difficult it might be time for an eye exam. Difficulty seeing while behind the

As men and women age, they may find it more difficult to control a motor vehicle. wheel puts drivers and their passengers at significant risk, but such a problem might be solved by a new eyeglass prescription. Poor visibility might have nothing to do with a driver’s vision. It could be a byproduct of certain external factors. Drivers having trouble seeing might consider adjusting their seat. • Assess the Vehicle As men and women age, they may find it is more difficult to control a motor vehicle. Strength, co-ordination and flexibility diminish as a person ages, and this can affect a person’s ability to drive. But such physiological changes don’t
necessarily mean a person has to give up driving. It might just mean it’s time to find a car that’s easier to drive. For example, many drivers prefer vehicles with manual transmissions, feeling such cars are more fun to drive. However, as a person ages, the ease of driving a vehicle with an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes can make it much safer for that driver to be on the road. Older drivers often find smaller vehicles are easier to control, and such drivers should consider smaller cars if they’re having trouble controlling their current vehicle. • Assess Personal Feelings Toward Driving How a driver feels toward driving can also play a role in that driver’s safety. Drivers who feel nervous or overwhelmed when driving don’t necessarily need to abandon their vehicles and embrace public transportation. Such feelings might be caused by a driver’s medication. Medication can make people sleepy or cause dizziness. Either of those side effects can lead to confused drivers who are easily overwhelmed when entering traffic.

How often do you think about your own driving skills and habits? Like most drivers, you probably want to keep driving for many years to come. But safe driving is critical to a long driving career. The good news is there are several things many mature drivers can do to reduce risk and improve driving. Driving safely is dependent on three key factors – your driving skills, abilities, and habits, your vehicle, and your driving knowledge. The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation’s Living Well, Driving Well mature drivers workshops, offered at the Kent Street Activity Centre in White Rock, are designed to help mature drivers assess their own driving skills, habits and knowledge in a peer group environment while getting tips and strategies to help change and improve their driving. Workshops are ongoing, and focus on promoting self-awareness and ending in results that reduce the risk to themselves and all road users. To register, call the Kent Street Centre to register 604-541-2231.

A recent cbc report pointed out that: “Canadians looking to wrap up new home purchases might find that life insurance is a more flexible and less pricey alternative to mortgage insurance obtained through a bank, While most agree it makes sense to cover large debts with insurance, some argue when it comes to mortgages, most consumers treat it as an
D I E T
Professionals fessionals afterthought and don’t realize that buying through a bank can be a costly mistake. With mortgage insurance obtained from a bank, coverage decreases with every mortgage payment but the premiums show no corresponding decline. That means the costs [per $1,000 of coverage] actually goes up as they bring down their mortgage debt. Personal life insurance coverage remains fixed throughout the term. While mortgage insurance pays off the loan’s outstanding balance, only the bank gets paid. In contrast, life insurance will relieve that debt, while often leaving something over for loved ones. Life insurance is also “portable,” you don’t need to requalify for coverage during the term if you

news White Rock councillor proposes committee of the whole meetings should return
what’s
your sign
Informal sessions needed: Sinclair Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Members of White Rock city council need a forum where they can discuss city issues informally before making a decision, and a return to committee of the whole meetings may be the answer. Coun. Lynne Sinclair posed the idea during this month’s governance and legislation committee meeting, noting it was raised during discussions at a recent planning session. It “would free the issues to come in a more natural way,” Sinclair said. Committee of the whole meetings are less formal than council meetings, where members have just two opportunities to speak for up to five minutes on any issue. In committee of the whole, opportunities to speak are unlimited, city clerk Tracey Arthur told Peace Arch News. The city has not had a formal committee of the whole since late 2008. However, Mayor Catherine Ferguson noted council still has the ability to go into a committee of the whole meeting at any time. Ferguson expressed concern that holding set committee of the whole meetings could result in the same issues coming to council as many as three times. City manager Peggy Clark said that situation could be averted by deciding in advance which issues will go to a committee of the whole; or, council could decide on the fly, she said. Arthur suggested that a note could be made on council agendas reminding members which issues they may wish to discuss further. Veteran Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson described the less formal setting as “a
very useful forum” for past councils. “Anything could come up and be talked about, and it encompassed a lot of items that needed to be talked about,” she said. Ferguson noted council is “getting a lot done and things are moving through” without the additional meeting. She agreed a committee of the whole meeting would be a good fit for discussing items such as tree management. Re-establishing a committee of the whole was recommended last fall. Coun. Helen Fathers told
Sinclair councillor
Ferguson mayor
Peace Arch News at the time that the opportunity to more freely discuss issues with her fellow councillors appeals. Being new to council, it is something she hasn’t
experienced, she said. In regular council, “we don’t really have time to communicate really what’s going on,” Fathers said. “On a personal note, it’s good to understand and get someone to clarify where they’re coming from. Not everyone’s fantastic at explaining, certainly in that environment. “I hear it may have been a better way of doing business.” Committee members agreed last week that a reminder on council agendas – stating that the opportunity exists – will suffice.

with new schools. Surrey’s population grows at close to 1,000 people per month. The province hasn’t built a school in the city in six years. Mayor Dianne Watts said holding back on the city’s project would have no effect on the province and wouldn’t bring the Clayton area more schools. She notes that the provincial formula for capital funding is flawed, and should be revisited by the minister of education. “They will not provide funding until those students are there,” said Watts. “It’s dead wrong. What they have to do is plan in conjunction with the school district and (the city).” Under the current system, she said, Surrey has been woefully underfunded for new schools. “They (provincial officials) haven’t given any capital funding since 2005,” Watts said.

The City of Surrey is constructing a 144-townhome development in an area with schools already completely overcrowded, a city councillor says. Surrey council approved the development in the 19400-block 68 Avenue this month, despite concern from Coun. Bob Bose, who was puzzled as to why Surrey would be adding students to the area. The development is near Hazelgrove Elementary School, which was built in 2009. By the time it opened, it already had four portables on site. A city planning report says the school is about 150 pupils over capacity, and projections show the Clayton area will be near three times capacity by 2016. Bose said the city could have sent the province a strong mes-

has an unsavoury past that may have included kidnapping, rape and murder. Unable to believe that she gave her heart to a killer – and outraged that the police seem to have closed the book on David’s death – Sara launches her own investigation which plunges her into the urban labyrinth of the contemporary underworld. Other performers include Mike Busswood (Sgt. Al Kersnowski), Ben Odberg (Det. H.E. Weber) Kaity Busswood (Joyce Lazio), White Rock’s Aaron Elliott (Billy Hart), director Dale Kelly (Carl Eisenstadt), Colleen Kelly (Marie Defaria) and Andrew LeBlanc (Julius Gatz). Performances Wednesday through Saturday have an 8 p.m. curtain. For tickets, call 604-536-7535 or visit www.whiterockplayers.ca
Seussical The Musical Never mind the green eggs – there should be a generous helping of ham in Elgin Park Secondary’s production of Seussical The Musical, which runs until Feb. 26 at the school theatre (13484 24 Ave.) Steven Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens’ Broadway show calls for over-the-top wackiness to match bold, brightly coloured costumes derived from the illustrations in Dr. Seuss’ ever-popular series of childrens’ books. Seussical The Musical lifts its basic story line from Seuss’ classic Horton Hears A Who – about an elephant whose hearing is so sensitive he detects an entire world in a tiny speck of dust. But it also manages to bring in a whole slew of other characters – including the Cat In The Hat, the Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, Yertle the Turtle and all the denizens of the Circus McGurkus. A large student cast – which includes many of the younger grades – has worked hard to bring Seuss’ universe to dazzling life, said drama teacher and director Stan Engstrom, who is joined by long-time choreographer Carol Seitz, vocal director Don Wolf and new band teacher Al Henderson and a 17-piece orchestra of Elgin students for the show. Among the challenges of Seussical, Engstrom said, is that the ‘sung-through’ script is “almost operatic.” “There’s underscoring all the way through, and actors have to speak a certain word on a certain note of music,” he said. Engstrom noted the school is presenting the full Broadway version of Seussical, which means that – along with the beloved characters and colourful goofiness – audiences can also expect to see the “darker edge” of writer-illustrator Theodor Seuss Geisel’s original philosophical vision, including satirical barbs aimed at the pomposity, avarice and war-making fervour of the human race. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. nightly. For tickets and information, call 604-538-6678.

Premier league to include Peninsula Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Bayside premiers drop 20-13 tilt to Meralomas
Sharks now in ‘must-win’ mode Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Under normal circumstances, February would be a little bit too early for the Bayside Sharks to find themselves in “must-win” territory. However, that’s exactly the spot the men’s premier rugby side finds itself after a 20-13 loss to Meralomas Saturday afternoon at South Surrey Athletic Park. The loss leaves the Sharks at 1-2 on the season, and they will need to win their next two games – on the road against Burnaby this Saturday, and at home versus the Castaway Wanderers March 5 – in order to finish in the top eight, thus avoiding relegation into the first division for the last month of the season. “Normally, you wouldn’t have these types of must-win games this early in the year, but with
the new format, that’s what we are faced with,” said Sharks coach David Benoit. “We’re a top seven, top eight team – we just haven’t put together 80 minutes of rugby yet.” Heading into the season, Benoit said his team needed to focus less on offence – which has rarely been a problem for the premier side – and more on tightening up defensively. And while the team’s defence has been much improved through the first three games of the season, the offence has all but dried up. Isimeli Sigarua scored the team’s lone try against Meralomas, and Peter Clifford tacked on a conversion and penalty kick. The game was scoreless at halftime, and the Sharks trailed just 13-10 with 10 minutes left in the game, but could not mount a strong enough comeback to earn the victory.
“Meralomas is a very good team – they’ve been in the provincial finals three of the last four years – but we just lost our composure in the last 10 minutes,” said Benoit. “We kicked away some possessions, we had a try called back – we had it right there for the taking, and didn’t get it done. “Defensively, we’re solid, but we’re just not scoring the points we’re used to scoring. We’ve got to get back to that.” In the Sharks’ last game two weeks ago – a 16-10 loss to Capilano – Benoit was also left wondering what happened to his team’s offence. “We could’ve won both our last two games, and very easily we could be sitting at 3-0 right now, with a lot less to worry about,” he said. “We’ve played pretty well in those games, but with this new format, there’s no time for moral victories – we need to win.”
B.C. Soccer announced last week the eight founding franchises in its new premier league – with the Semiahmoo Peninsula earning one of the inaugural berths. The South Fraser Soccer Club, which will incorporate both Semiahmoo (girls) and Peace Arch (boys) clubs, will join five other Lower Mainland teams, as well as one each from Vancouver Island and the Okanagan in the new circuit, to be called the B.C. Premier Soccer League. “It’s a great thing for players in South Surrey and White Rock,” said Semiahmoo Soccer president Darryl Jones. The league will feature boys and girls teams from U13 to U18, and will aim to combine the province’s top players in one league, as the current Selects and Metro programs do now. “Basically, in B.C. the feeling has been for some time now that the Metro and Selects leagues have been a bit of a watered-down product,” said Mark McQueen, head coach of Semiahmoo Soccer. “Many associations had a Metro or Selects team, but it was really just in name only – the calibre wasn’t quite there. Now, this new premier league should fix that, because it reduces the teams down to eight.” Other teams in the new league include Abbotsford, Burnaby/ North Shore, Coquitlam Metro, Vancouver Island, Surrey United, Vancouver/Richmond and Thompson Okanagan. While the new premier teams will take players who currently play at the Metro and Selects levels, the remaining players will filter down into the gold see page 34

Eagles to face Express in Round 1 Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles finally know their playoff opponent, and it’s the same team they traded blows with in a pair of games last week – the Coquitlam Express. And though the second-seeded Eagles finished the season with 19 more points than the division-rival Express, the two teams proved during the 12 head-tohead regular-season matchups that they are more closely matched than the B.C. Hockey League standings make it seem. The Eagles won seven of 12 games against Coquitlam, but two came in overtime. Conversely, two of the Express victories – including a 5-1 drubbing – came in the season’s first few weeks, and there’s
been plenty of roster turnover for both club’s since then. “We were kind of a .500 team back then (early in the year), and we were 1-4 against them at one point before we starting winning a bunch in a row, but there were some tight games, for sure,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart. “It’s a good matchup, a real budding rivalry, and we’re looking forward to it. We’re happy with our regular season, but it’s a clean slate now – everybody is 0-0.” Most recently, the Eagles and Express squared off for a pair of games last week, with the Eagles winning 7-3 Wednesday, and Coquitlam returning the favour Friday night, with a 7-4 win of their own. The Eagles ended the regular season
Saturday on home ice, losing 4-1 to the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Surrey and Coquitlam will square off in a best-of-seven first-round series beginning Friday, 7 p.m. at South Surrey Arena, with Game 2 set for Saturday in South Surrey. The series shifts to Coquitlam Monday and Tuesday, for Games 3 and 4. One player the Eagles will certainly rely on in the first round is 20-year-old goalkeeper Karel St. Laurent, who wasn’t with the team in the early stages of the season, but brings plenty of experience to the team’s crease. “He’s a 20-year-old guy who was in the Quebec (Major Junior) League finals last see page 35
