Suspicious noise alerts man, later found crushed in own driveway
Resident in coma after car thief flees Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A 60-year-old Surrey man is in an induced coma in hospital after suffering “substantial, lower-body-crushing” injuries when he was run over by a car thief in his own driveway Sunday morning. Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to a home in the 5900-block of 168A Street just after 3:30 a.m. March 6. They found the victim lying in the driveway. Investigation is ongoing, however, police

say the man was run over as an unidentified person was stealing a black Acura MDX from the driveway. The victim was apparently investigating a suspicious noise when he came across the theft in progress, police say. He was struck as the vehicle was driven out of the driveway. There were no known witnesses, however, a family member told police the impact was heard and felt inside the house. “The collision was of such force that it caused the house to shake,” Cpl. Drew Grainger said.
“It’s a senseless and reckless act.” Serious Crimes Unit investigators have deemed the incident an aggravated assault. The Acura was recovered a couple blocks away from the home. Police believe the theft of a 1995 red Ford Windstar from “the same immediate vicinity” early Friday may be related to Sunday’s incident. The Windstar was recovered late Monday in the 5900-block of 133A Street, following a public appeal for help locating it. Police do not have a description of the
assailant, and are appealing for anyone with information on either incident to call the Surrey RCMP detachment at 604-599-0502. The tragic aspect of Sunday’s incident is a reminder to citizens to not attempt to confront anyone caught committing a crime, Grainger said. Instead, document as many details as possible and call 911 immediately. “People who are involved in these acts are often very desperate… often armed. They have nothing to lose and will do anything they can to get away,” Grainger said.

Construction crews hoist the main base for a pedestrian bridge into place over Highway 99 last weekend, and will be adding the bridge deck and lighting in the coming weeks. Highway closures are expected for the night of March 12 and on subsequent weekends as crews wrap up work on the $2.75-million bridge, which is expected to be open for public use by mid-April, linking 35 Avenue to 148 Street across the freeway. see story page 4
Facebook friends recall Adam Purdie
Man killed in police standoff ‘helped save lives’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Adam Purdie weapons in car
A man shot and killed by police last week is being remembered as a good friend who helped a lot of people recover from alcohol and drug abuse, his friends say. A group on Facebook is recalling their fonder moments with Adam Purdie, the 28-year-old killed by Surrey RCMP at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard on the evening of March 2.
“Adam and I haven’t talked that much over the last couple years just friendly conversations in passing but I do know that he helped a lot of people in the NA (Narcotics Anonymous) community out,” said friend Teresa. “My thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends. May your soul be at peace Adam.” Friend Brittany had similar memories. “So sad that Adam is gone… he was a friend of my family and a genuinely nice
guy who helped a lot of people get and stay clean,” she said. “He will be deeply missed. RIP Adam.” Friend Aaron lived in the same house as Purdie for some time. “I remember when we’d be getting ready for a meeting and we’d be saying things like ‘hey you ready to go save some lives?’… And that’s exactly what he would do, save lives,” Aaron wrote on the Facebook site. Police had a different view of Purdie
on the night of the shooting. Purdie was first pulled over in the 15400-block of 16 Avenue, just after 11 p.m. when Surrey RCMP noticed a firearm in the back seat. Purdie sped away, causing a pursuit. Police laid down a spike belt at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard, which disabled the car. Purdie collided with another vehicle, and then was rammed by a police cruiser. see page 4

Man airlifted after crash A 37-year-old South Surrey man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries Monday following a single-vehicle crash that ended with a Jeep on its side in a South Surrey ditch. The crash occurred around 6:45 p.m. in the 15700-block of Cranley Drive. A witness told police the Jeep editorial@peacearchnews.com “just drove off the road,” Cpl. Drew Grainger said. Emergency crews arrived to find the driver trapped and unconscious. Freed by firefighters, the man was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital. Grainger said alcohol is believed to have been a contributing factor and that charges of impaired driving are being considered.

news ‘Miraculous’ improvement for driver who was trapped underwater
Serpentine survivor breathing on own Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A Vancouver woman trapped underwater for 90 minutes after crashing through a Highway 99 barrier into the Serpentine River last week is now breathing on her own – an improvement police say is “amazing.” “Miraculous, is what that is,” said Cpl. Aaron Sproule of the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Traffic Services. “After being submerged for as long as she was, for her to be
breathing on her own within a week afterward, that’s fantastic.” The woman has not, however, regained consciousness, and investigators still don’t know exactly what caused her to lose control of her car that morning. Determining what role, if any, a second vehicle may have played in the Feb. 28 crash will be key in solving the puzzle, Sproule said. The woman, in her 20s, was southbound in the 4600-block of Highway 99 just before 10 a.m. when she plunged through a bar-
rier on the Serpentine River bridge into the murky water below. Her black Honda Civic settled upsidedown on the river bottom. Resuscitated and airlifted to hospital, the woman remains in critical condition. While investigators said last week that witness reports identified a second vehicle which may have contributed to the crash, police are not ready to release any information about that other vehicle, Sproule said. “They know what kind of vehicle
it is. They’ve got a solid lead to follow up on,” Sproule said. “They need to know to what extent that vehicle was involved. Until they speak to the owner, speak to the driver, they didn’t want to compromise their investigation.” It remains possible that the second vehicle was not a factor in the crash, Sproule noted. “It would not be good of us to make any assumptions until we’ve at least contacted that second vehicle to determine if this information we’ve got is reliable.”
Investigators are confident alcohol, speed and aggressive driving were not factors, Sproule said. As well, there is no sign the second vehicle came into contact with the Honda Civic prior to the car breaching the barrier. Physical evidence to explain what transpired that morning is limited, Sproule said. Anyone with information on the incident who has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact Deas Island RCMP Traffic Services at 604-946-2184.

Civil suit abandoned
Falcon greets protest
Former staff pay $78,000
Jennifer Lang Black Press
Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon says more capital spending dollars are needed for Surrey schools – a lot more. Falcon made the assessment after an impromptu meeting with local high school students Friday afternoon. A group of about 60 students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary – site of a morning walkout over timetable changes and cramped conditions – descended on his constituency office in Cloverdale to ask for more provincial funding. “We do have to make another significant capital investment in Surrey schools,” Falcon said, calling their complaints about the new timetable and other concerns legitimate.

The Surrey School District has reached an out-of-court settlement with two former employees accused of financial fraud that allegedly put thousands of dollars into their own pockets. The board of education agreed last month to dismiss its civil lawsuit against former associate superintendent Robert (Bob) Chadwick and his administrative assistant Barbara Chadwick (nee Moore) in exchange for the couple paying $78,000 to the district. The Chadwicks, who left their jobs suddenly and under mysterious circumstances in 2006, have also agreed to drop their constructive-dismissal lawsuit against the board, as well as their counter lawsuits. “The board is satisfied this settlement is in the best interest of the board and taxpayers,” district spokesperson Doug Strachan said Monday. The district filed suit against the Chadwicks in 2009, alleging the two were involved in large-scale fraud and kickback Bob Chadwick schemes. The district’s statement of claim alleged cheques from San Diego State University totalling US$167,689.32 and payable to the school district in 2002 and 2003 were deposited to the Chadwicks’ accounts at Coast Capital Savings and Credit Union for their personal use. The district also claimed there was a “likelihood” a further three fraudulent payments between 1999 and 2001 totalling roughly $600,000 were received by the pair. In a statement of defence filed last May, the Chadwicks called the investigation “a witch-hunt,” and denied any theft, fraud and kickback allegations. The Chadwicks still face a criminal trial in connection with the allegations, on charges of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000. They are due back in Surrey Provincial Court Thursday.

Daytime freeway traffic continues under the pedestrian bridge being constructed on Highway 99.
New bridge takes shape Lee Dorner Black Press
A $2.75-million pedestrian and cycling bridge over Highway 99 is nearing completion and should be open to the public by mid-April, according to the project’s supervisor. Construction on the 73-metre Pioneer Overpass began last July with a scheduled completion date of March 31. Project supervisor Ross Burkholder said the completion date was pushed back because of delays in fabrication of construction materials and high winds postponing some of last weekend’s work. A stretch of Highway 99 was closed overnight March 5-6
so the bridge could be lifted into place (see video online at peacearchnews.com). “Construction progress has been going extremely well,” said Burkholder. “Erection of the main bridge piece went just like clockwork.” Installation of the bridge deck and lighting is expected to cause further closures on the evening of March 12 and several following weekends, according to a report from the City of Surrey. The overpass will link neighbourhoods in the King George Boulevard corridor with Rosemary Heights West. It runs from 148 Street to an empty site across the highway, which the city plans
to turn into a park. A path runs through the site of the park, connecting the bridge to 35 Avenue. Funding for the project was split three ways between the City of Surrey and the provincial and federal governments. The construction is being done by Calgary-based Graham Infrastructure. The overpass is part of Surrey’s Greenways Program, which was adopted in 1995 to provide 200 kilometres of off-street pedestrian and cycling pathways to promote physical activity and reduce vehicle emissions. About 25 per cent of the program’s planned routes have already been built.
Previous convictions for violence from page 1 Despite early reports that Purdie shot his weapon, the Saanich Police Department, which is investigating, said it had not confirmed if Purdie’s gun was fired. Saanich Police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said a modified assault rifle was found in Purdie’s lap, with the barrel pointed toward the Surrey RCMP officer who shot him. Purdie had previously been charged with attempted murder using a firearm, assaulting a police officer, breaking and entering with intent and possession of a prohibited weapon with ammunition. Those charges stem from an incident in Ladner. In 2003, Purdie testified he pointed a gun at his girlfriend to scare her and her new love interest, and he hoped the police would come and kill him.

But Smith said the Conservatives could run into trouble in those same areas, particularly with South Asian voters, over their plans to sharply cut the number of family reunification visas issued to bring elderly family members to Canada. “It seems to me they’ve got a policy that runs counter to where their political strategy is taking them,� Smith said.

Speaking up merits praise
I
t may not have helped their curriculum grades, but students who staged walkouts at Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries last week deserve an A in the school of life. Faced with the onset of a split timetable due to overcrowding of their schools – a move that is proving unpopular with students, parents and the teachers’ union who point to complicated ramifications of such measures – they took the course of protest. But contrary to what some might have expected of a student protest, their actions weren’t unfocused exercises in rowdyism. At Marriott, students timed their walkout to create the least disruption to the school day, leaving classes at 2 p.m. At Lord Tweedsmuir, a core group of 60 protesters showed the courage of their convictions by marching to SurreyCloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon’s office, where they met with him and presented their case. The students showed they were serious, respectful and articulate in the expression of legitimate concerns about their education. They were organized, disciplined and, in fact, exhibited a level of responsibility that would put some of their elders to shame. And in the process, they learned some important life lessons. Their seriousness of purpose was rewarded – by being taken seriously. The students not only found the ear of school and school board administrators, they also won the undivided attention of other local politicians – including Liberal MLA Gordon Hogg, and NDP MLA Harry Bains who were present at the Marriott protest. Adopting split schedules which stagger student usage of facilities through the school day is just one possible – and imperfect – solution administrators are considering as a means of accommodating exploding enrolment. But the protests brought to the fore the deeper underlying problem – that Surrey School District has not had any new capital funding from Victoria since 2005. In an era characterized too often by shrugging dismay, the students have learned that people not only have a right, but also an obligation, to stand up and be counted on a contentious issue. They have also learned – as those who resisted the introduction of the HST learned – that sometimes it is not enough to pursue an issue through official channels. Top marks to the students for discovering that direct action, and a media spotlight, are sometimes key elements in making our public servants sit up and take notice.

86 responding book by Harvard historian Niall Ferguson called Civilization: The West and the Rest. Ferguson identifies six ingredients in what he calls “the secret sauce of Western civilization” and its economic success. They are competition, modern science, the rule of law and private property rights, modern medicine, the consumer society and the work ethic. Sultan says that list explains the difference between conditions on and off B.C. reserves. Sultan agrees that the political pressure to raise the minimum wage is irreversible. But like most economists, he says that will reduce the number of lowend jobs. And he is sarcastic about the NDP’s demands for government-imposed solutions: “All we need to do is pass a law and everybody will get richer overnight!” Helping single mothers get back to the workforce is his “personal cause at the moment,” and he says the new full-day kindergarten is a big step in the right direction. Subsidized daycare is another option B.C. has available. “I know in Quebec they have a very generous scheme, which apparently the rest of Canada pays for,” Sultan said. Readers who demand evidence that disputes the First Call finding might start with Sultan’s discussion paper. It’s posted on his website at www.ralphsultanmla. ca under “special studies.” It ends with a quote from another noted social activist, a fellow named Jesus Christ: “The poor shall always be with us.” No one has proven him wrong in the past 2,000 years or so.

Easy route to help TransLink Editor: Re: Delta considers kicking TransLink to the curb, Feb. 9. Here’s a bit of a solution to the public transit crisis in Delta and Surrey. Do you know TransLink runs close to 100 empty buses through the Crescent Beach neighbourhood each day? The 351 uses the narrow roadways of the beach area as a turnaround route for highway buses on their way to the Bridgeport train station. Ninety-nine per cent of these buses are empty. In fact, a trip to the train station revealed an almost empty bus until the centre of White Rock. So… perhaps TransLink might consider a community bus to service this end of town and reroute these highway buses to areas that would appreciate the service. Sounds like a no-brainer!

seen by the forced resignations by senior members of the EDA board who no longer support Hiebert, and the opinion of many others. Our community is clearly saying we want an opportunity to choose the best candidate to represent us. It’s how the democratic system works. Good luck, Russ. Perhaps you will win a fairly constituted nomination meeting open to all. Or perhaps we will have one of our many outstanding citizens become a strong new voice in Ottawa on our behalf. What will be, will be, but we deserve the right to choose. Doug E. Lachance, White Rock Q An open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. As we are all expecting an election soon, I am writing to you on a
matter of some urgency. I support the work you are doing and think you and your party overall have done a good job for Canada. However, I will not be able to vote Conservative in the next election if you continue to have Russ Hiebert as the Conservative candidate in South Surrey. I am not alone in this thinking. Hiebert is a nonrepresentative to us. He does not communicate. Sure, he sends out self-serving piffle on paper – at taxpayers’ expense – but nothing of any substance that indicates what he or the party is doing, or for that matter asks for any input as his predecessor Val Meredith did. He apparently has never heard of email as a communication device, far less Facebook, Twitter etc. His entire preoccupation seems to be to rack
up as many frequent-flyer points and expenses for himself and his family. Not only is he an unacceptable candidate, the party process for parachuting in candidates and keeping them on even when it is blatantly obvious they are useless, is clearly undemocratic. To win a majority in the next election, you need the support of all conservative-minded electors. You will not have mine if you do not make this change. Moreover I promise you I will work my ass off to assist any candidate – independent conservative or, if need be, a Liberal, or New Democrat or Green – if Hiebert remains on the ballot. I suggest your researchers check out the recent spate of letters to the Peace Arch News on this subject. Richard Kendon, Surrey

Democratic right to choose Editor: I feel compelled to voice my opinion regarding the controversy regarding whether there should be an open nomination meeting to see whether our community supports MP Russ Hiebert’s continuation as the Conservative party’s representative for our riding. Letter-writer C.M. Fergusson (Look at bigger picture, Feb. 23) says EDA board members “are duty bound to… support any candidate chosen by the EDA nominations committee. In this aspect all board members are ‘pro-Hiebert.’ If members cannot give this support, they are obligated to resign.” Basically what he is saying is that the group who decides who will represent us in this riding must be Hiebert supporters, and if they’re not, they are not allowed to be a part of the nomination process. How can that be? This is a conservative riding and has been for the 27 years I have lived here. Virtually anyone who runs on the conservative ticket is going to win and represent us in Ottawa, clearly illustrated by the party’s ability to parachute an unknown candidate who has no history in our community, cruising to an easy win. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it’s just a plum job for Hiebert. He doesn’t represent us because he loves this magical place that we live in and wants to do all he can to help us be all we can be, but instead he was a party favourite who was put in the right place at the right time. This is in no way intended to say anything disparaging about Russ. I consider him to be a fine man with a strong character and ethics. This is about what’s best for our community, and the democratic process in general. There is great dissatisfaction with Russ as our Conservative party representative, and this can easily be

Tweedsmuir Secondary students protest Friday morning, following an earlier protest at Earl Mariott Secondary.
Pupils look for a timely solution Editor: Re: Parents seek portables over time shifts, March 2. I am currently a Grade 11 student at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, and I believe the proposed extended-day solution for overcrowding in our school and in Earl Marriott Secondary has its pros and cons, but overall is not the best outcome for students and teachers. At any given time in the school day, during class time, there will be approximately 150 students with a study period in the halls, unsupervised for the most part. In my opinion, the extended-day plan is not a good solution to the overcrowding problem in the district, and should definitely not be used as a permanent solution. Chris Hutton, Surrey Q Bringing the total from four blocks to five may have a cost. Since most students would still only be attending four classes, this would cause a large gap in our day. It’s likely that at any given time, over 100 unsupervised students, unable to go home during their free time, would be forced to remain in or around the school. This could add unnecessary noise that may well disrupt other classes. The slamming of lockers, for instance, would be deafening throughout the building. Changing the schedule will cut down on the students’ time for extracurricular activities, not to mention forcing teachers to stay later, which may make some of them hesitant to volunteer as coaches or as heads of clubs. Construction of a new school should begin as soon as possible and, in the meantime, more portables should be built to deal with the overflow of students. David Hilder, Surrey Q I am aware overcrowding is an issue, but as a student I would rather have more crowded hallways, bigger class sizes or more portables than an extended day. I volunteer at Zion Senior Centre because Grade 10 students need 30 volunteer hours. I would not be able to continue if the school day goes until 3:30 because I volunteer at 2:45. I think it would be much more difficult for students to volunteer and keep part-time jobs. Another concern is that many high school students have younger siblings at elementary schools, and this would cause a huge headache for parents. They would
have to either have their children go home by themselves, wait or have to pay for someone to look after them. I know the district is in debt and doesn’t have tons of options. I suggest doing what private schools do and raise money from the community for portables. I think education should be a top priority for the government. Educating the next generation of people who will run our society should receive proper funding. Jenna Grose, Surrey
Only themselves to blame I read with interest Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg’s comments about overcrowding in the hallways at Earl Marriott Secondary. What he failed to acknowledge is the reason students are forced to learn in portables and forced to deal with adjusted schedules is because the BC Liberal government has failed to provide a single penny for new schools in Surrey since 2006, even though more than 2,500 students have entered our schools. Even if the BC Liberal government reverses their inaction today, it will be three or four years before the situation improves for students in our community. Parents and students may want to write their BC Liberal MLAs to ask them why they couldn’t find a single penny to put towards new schools while the government spent a billion dollars on a new convention centre in Vancouver, another half-a-billion dollars on a stadium roof and $6 million to bail out BC Liberal insiders who were convicted in the BC Rail corruption trial. Harry Bains, NDP MLA for Surrey-Newton
Must be a better way Re: Students walk out over split timetables, March 4. What is our society coming to? Students out demonstrating in our streets over split timetables? I can empathize with the parents and students over the issues at hand at Earl Marriott Secondary. I can also empathize with the administration of the school as decisions like this are certainly not always easy. However, I would like to think school administrators and parents could work through these difficult issues without our young people resorting to demonstrating in the streets. There has to be a better way. L. Diczki, Surrey

We’re Back! Jail time for border guard All 4 locations Now Open! news
Surrey crossing. The verdict followed a fiveweek trial in New Westminster in which three women testified Greenhalgh touched them inappropriately during strip-searches he conducted on his own in areas including a men’s public washroom. A fourth woman said she was made to strip, but was not touched. At a sentencing hearing last month, defence lawyer Joe McCarthy argued for a lesser penalty – either a two-year conditional sentence followed by probation, or incarceration of 12 to 15 months in a provincial jail. The sentence given was one of two options suggested by prosecutor Winston Sayson. It “reflects the court’s denunciation and condemnation of such grotesque abuse of a position of authority and trust,” Sayson said by email. “By committing these crimes, Daniel Johnson Greenhalgh broke

Former border guard Daniel Greenhalgh has been sentenced to two years less a day in jail for illegally strip-searching women at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border. In handing down the sentence Friday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Frits Verhoeven also sentenced Greenhalgh to three years probation, imposed a 10-year firearms prohibition and $400 victim surcharge, and ordered he provide a DNA sample. It was a “stiff ” penalty, according to Greenhalgh’s lawyers. “It’s certainly more than defence was seeking,” Stephanie Vyas told Peace Arch News Friday. Greenhalgh will be appealing his conviction, Vyas noted. Greenhalgh was found guilty last fall of three counts of sexual assault and one count of breach of public trust in connection with incidents that occurred in 2007 while he was on duty at the South
the oath of his office,” Sayson writes. “He breached the confidence of his fellow BSOs (Border Services Officers). He betrayed the public trust vested upon him.” McCarthy – who was unable to attend the sentencing – told Peace Arch News he wasn’t surprised a provincial sentence (less than two years) was given. “It became apparent fairly early in the hearing – the actual sentencing hearing, not the one today – that federal time was not going to be an issue,” McCarthy said. “The problem is, is that these are very, very unusual occurrences and there isn’t much case law to guide the judge on this matter.” Vyas noted Greenhalgh maintains he did not commit the acts he was found guilty of. He hasn’t spoken publicly on the matter because he plans to appeal, she said. Greenhalgh “continues to have the support of his family and friends,” Vyas added.

Always the Best Value In Town!
Job posting routine: BIA Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
With the prospect of a new, five-year mandate on the horizon, directors of the White Rock Business Improvement Association say it is only prudent they put a call out for a new executive director. The Request for Proposals is “not a bit” a reflection on the performance of existing executive director Cyndie Richards, board president Ginny Harrison said last week. “We’re not looking to replace her. We’re just looking to see,” Harrison said Tuesday, noting a similar call was made when previous executive director Russ Davies’ first term was up. “We have a responsibility to our membership to cover all our bases, and make sure that we have the best person in there. And Cyndie may very well be that person.” Richards became the organization’s executive director last April, after Davies resigned to lead the Kitsilano 4th Avenue and Point Grey Village business associations. Richards had been Davies’ assistant for 2½ years at the time – she started with the BIA as a volunteer in 2005 and became a director in 2006 – and was a “natural person to step in,” she said. Richards and Harrison agreed the past year has been a transitional one. It followed months of controversy brought about when

BIA executive director Cyndie Richards is hopeful she will be able to continue in her role as the organization’s executive director. a group of people critical of the BIA registered themselves and others as directors of record in Victoria. As a result, when the BIA board asked last year to renew for 10 years, council opted to “put them on notice” with a one-year renewal. “It lets them know they’ve got a year to sort it out and get back to business,” Coun. Helen Fathers said at the time. And that is exactly what happened, Richards said. She described mended fences with members and the city as highlights of the past year, along with promotional efforts including
pole lights, outdoor movies, banners and block parties. Richards has done “a fabulous job,” Harrison said. Richards described the call for applications as one of transparency; a move “hopefully for the betterment of the organization. “And if I get the job, then I’ll know that (I) was the best candidate.” She remains passionate about the organization. “My heart has been here for a very long time,” Richards said. Deadline to apply for the position is 4 p.m. March 15. The BIA bylaw is due back for final consideration by council March 21.

Christy Clark to be sworn in March 14
Date set for new premier Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Christy Clark confirmed Monday she will be sworn in March 14 as B.C.’s 35th premier, and promised to unveil a smaller cabinet than the last one appointed by Premier Gordon Campbell. Meeting with reporters at the legislature for the first time since her selection as B.C. Liberal leader Feb. 26, Clark declined to say how much smaller she would make the government’s executive council. It currently stands at an all-time high of 20 full ministries as well as ministers of state and parliamentary secretaries. Clark didn’t rule out calling an early election in 2011, saying only that it would be after a provincewide referendum on whether to scrap the harmonized sales tax. Clark has indicated she wants that referendum held June 24.
Tom Fletcher photo
Premier-designate Christy Clark talks to reporters Monday. She renewed her campaign pledge to restore $15 million in gambling grants cut from charities last year, and to launch a review of the B.C. government’s relationship with charities. Faced with a recession and budget deficits, former housing and social development minister Rich Coleman restricted arts and sports grants to those that benefit young people and the disabled. B.C. government revenues
from lotteries and casinos have grown to $1 billion a year, with a large new destination casino being considered for downtown Vancouver. “My position on it has always been that if we’re going to expand gambling in British Columbia, we need to make sure that there is money going back to communities and charities,” Clark said. “I think that was the crucial tradeoff that citizens bought into, and so we need to make sure that if we’re expanding gambling, that we keep that deal with the citizens of the province.” A commission will be appointed to examine the government’s relationship with charities, and to recommend ways that they can be assured of stable funding. Clark said her first priority is to make sure the government considers families in all of its decisions.

Is a Power of Attorney Necessary? Power of Attorneys are an essential part of any estate plan. Generally, in a Power of Attorney, the donor appoints an agent and grants the agent the power to administer the donor’s legal and financial affairs effective upon execution of the document. However, the donor can tailor powers of the agent to be as broad or as narrow as he desires and/or delay the effective commencement date. Many people delay preparing Power of Attorneys. Either they do not want to relinquish control of their legal and financial affairs or do not believe that it is necessary. Yet if the unexpected occurs, it may be too late to arrange for a Power of Attorney. A certain level of knowledge and understanding is required in the donor at the date of signing for the Power of Attorney to be valid. If a valid Power of Attorney does not exists, only the Public Guardian and Trustee has the power to act on behalf of the donor until the Court appoints a Committee or guardian for the donor. The application to appoint a Committee can be a time consuming and costly proposition. Furthermore, the Court may appoint an individual that the Donor would not have otherwise chosen. Many of the concerns people have to granting Powers of Attorneys can be addressed by including restrictions in the document. Meet with your lawyer to design a Power of Attorney that addresses your specific needs.

Antiques retailer closing after 38 years in Cloverdale
Red Barn shutting its doors Jennifer Lang Black Press
T
wo years after initiating the process of winding the business down, it’s suddenly the end of the line for Red Barn Antiques. The landmark heritage building at 5566 176 Street, home to what was once Canada’s largest antique store and certainly one of its finest, sold last month, owner Leigh Carnegie has confirmed. In less than three months, and after 42 years in business – 38 of them in Cloverdale – the familiar Red Barn will shut its doors to make way for the new owner, a “big furniture company” that sells modern furniture. “We’ve had a great run,” Carnegie said. The closing-out sale began in 2009, ushering discounts of 30 to 50 per cent on some items. Much like the liquidation sale currently drawing brisk business over at the Cloverdale Antique Mall, the Red Barn was overcome with customers looking for a deal. At the time, Carnegie didn’t blame the antique market. Rather, as the only family member left running the massive retail operation started by his parents, Bill and Dorothy, he was ready to wind things down. The huge antique and collectible store – famed for its paint job, maze-like showrooms, and unmatched collection of memorabilia, from soda fountains and totem poles to old-fashioned gas pumps and Chinatown phone booths – was a favourite source of props for movie crews filming and discerning collectors from across North America. The plan was to slowly sell off the merchandise, and then the building. Carnegie, one of five siblings, said it took time for the family to agree to the sale. It was put on the market a few months ago.

City seeks arts input Luxury & Soothing Relaxation The City of Surrey has planned a series of open houses to seek public input into the development of arts and heritage services in the city. The first opportunity for residents to share their thoughts on Surreywide and town-centre strengths, gaps and priorities is set for 5-8 p.m. March 16 at Elgin Hall, 14250 Crescent Rd. The evening is also to seek ideas regarding opportunities for public art, the role of new cultural facilities, the Surrey Museum expansion and effective communication about arts and heritage. Mayor Dianne Watts described the consultation as key in developing a cultural plan that meets the needs of the growing community.
Electric fireplaces – the only GREEN choice
Results of a recent ‘World Cafe’ – a round-table workshop involving individuals tasked with generating ideas for maintaining and promoting Surrey’s vibrant cultural sector – will also be shared at the open houses. A total of six are planned for throughout the city. Others are to take place April 5 (Guildford Recreation Centre), April 7 (Newton Cultural Centre), April 27 (Fleetwood Community Centre), April 28 (Surrey Museum) and May 3 (Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre).

A celebration of pregnancy I t was while expecting her second child that Leah Douglas conceived the idea for her debut cookbook – The Gourmet Pregnancy. The White Rock resident, 35, had always enjoyed going out for Kristyl Clark meals with her husband, Mike, and entertaining at home, but she grew concerned whether many of her favourite foods were safe to eat during pregnancy. “Like many expectant women, I wanted to eat what would be best for my baby and steer clear of any foods or drinks that could cause harm,” said Douglas, who began searching for cookbooks to help her make her favourite dishes ‘safely’ at home. Douglas found there to be a lack in the selection of books on the market and the contents of the ones she did find to be preachy. At the encouragement of Mike and her friends, she decided to create her own – no easy feat for a full time social worker with a toddler to care for. “We found an agent in White Rock who loved our idea and wanted us to come up with 100 different recipes, most of which we made after our daughter (Avery) went to bed. I was really exhausted by the end of it,” said Douglas. What Douglas lacked in culinary expertise, she made up for in her passion for delicious, healthy food. With the help of her graphic artist/ photographer husband, she embarked on the journey of filling the pages of The Gourmet Pregnancy – a lighthearted cookbook filled with chic recipes and humourous anecdotes about cooking and eating throughout pregnancy. “There were a lot of late nights – we would make the meal and photograph it and wouldn’t end up eating dinner until 10 p.m. or midnight,” said Douglas, who adapted some of her favourite recipes and let her cravings guide her through the process.
Have a craving for pickles? Douglas’ Tempura Dill Pickles With Sambal Oelek Dip are sure to hit the spot. Looking for a healthy salad with a bit of a kick? Check out Douglas’ recipe for Sesame Cashew Red Cabbage Noodle Salad. “Every recipe in the book has been given a stamp of approval from Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Jan E. Christilaw,” added Douglas. Visit www.gourmetpregnancy.com

Bring Spring Home
Stair master White Rock’s Allison Voth is breathing easier these days after climbing 739 stairs to the top of the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre. The effort, in support of the BC Lung Association, proved her 34-year-old body is up for the challenge – something Voth has doubted since undergoing lung surgery last November. “I’m only 34, I’m relatively fit, and I’ve never smoked,” Voth said. “It’s scary when something goes that wrong for no reason. I’ve been afraid to challenge my body since having surgery and climbing 48 flights of stairs was a bit scary, but now I know I can do anything.” Voth underwent surgery after suffering three spontaneous lung collapses last fall. Doctors have not been able to tell her what caused the problem. She was among hundreds to participate in the Feb. 27 Stairclimb for Clean Air. She and her RCMP E Division teammates raised more than $1,000 for the cause. In all, the Stairclimb raised more than $125,000 for the lung association. Post-event fundraising will continue until March 25. To donate, visit www.stairclimb.ca or call the BC Lung Association at 604-731-5864. Proceeds benefit medical research, lung patient education and support programs.

Don’t be greedy. Right now you need to be much more careful about everything concerning your diet. You must also avoid wasting your money, otherwise you will regret it in the future.
Learn to be aware of everything surrounding you, especially if it concerns personal matters. Don’t believe everything you hear. Think things through.

Celebrating 100 years International Women’s Day hits centennial milestone In celebration of International Women’s Week, Peace Arch News honours the achievements of women who live, work and play on the Peninsula with this special section ‘Women in Business.’
E
ach year on March 8, millions of women and men from around the world celebrate International Women’s Day – an event that falls within International Women’s Week, from March 6 to March 12. This is an ideal opportunity to reflect on the progress made to advance women’s equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society and to consider future steps to enhance the status of women and celebrate the gains made in these areas. Women on all continents, often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate International Women’s Day – a celebration of ordinary women as makers of history. This year, International Women’s Day celebrates its 100th anniversary. The first International Women’s Day events were held in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland in 1911 and attended by over one million people. One hundred years later, International Women’s Day has become a global mainstream phenomena celebrated across many countries and is an official holiday in approximately 25 countries including Afghanistan, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam and Zambia. The Canadian theme for International Women’s Day and Week 2011 is
WINDSOR SQUARE DENTAL Is a full-service, general practice offering: • Family and cosmetic dentistry • Digital radiography (80% less radiation) • Teeth whitening • Senior’s discounts • BC College fee guide rates • A child friendly and relaxing environment
Did you know? Canadian women have made enormous strides over the years. Here are just a few of their accomplishments: Q The current government has the highest percentage of women in cabinet in Canadian history. The House of Commons currently has 67 women. Q Women are also increasing their participation in other aspects of Canadian life. Currently, women make up the majority of fulltime students in most university faculties. Q The labour force participation rate for working-age women (1564 years) has risen from 68.2 per cent to 74.3 per cent over the past decade (1997-2008). Girls’ Rights Matter and focuses on the importance of equality and access to opportunity for all girls and women throughout their lives. This is a time for Canadians to celebrate progress towards equality for women, a chance to reflect on the challenges and barriers that remain, and consider future steps to achieving equality for all women in all aspects of their lives. This theme also connects to the United Nations theme for International Women’s Day 2011: Equal access to education, training and science and technology.
GIFT & TEA SHOP
Curved walls, a trickling waterfall in the waiting area and a designer aesthetic make a visit to the Windsor Square Dental Centre feel more like a trip to the spa than the dentist!

ANTI-AGING CENTRE Always at the forefront of the health and beauty industry, Caree Ludwar and the New Beauty team are thrilled to be the third facility in the province to offer CoolSculpting — an innovative, non-invasive procedure that has quickly become one of the most sought-after inch-loss treatments in North America.
CAREE LUDWAR
Popular Products and Procedures: • CoolSculpting fat removal • Botox and injectable fillers • Sun damage repair • Proellixe whole body vibration • Titan – “Gold” standard in skin tightening • Instant breast lifts • Obagi medical skin care
“This is absolutely amazing,” said Caree, who experienced significant results after just one treatment. “I had to replace all of my bras because I went down a couple sizes. I also bought a bikini, something I wouldn’t have normally felt comfortable in.” Developed and marketed by Zeltiq Aesthetics, CoolSculpting selectively targets localized fat deposits (such as abdominal fat, love handles, back fat, “muffin tops,” and the bulge above C-Section scars) and reduces them by chilling them to just above freezing. It’s done gradually and without causing any harm to the surrounding tissues.
so the patient can return to normal activities immediately,” says Caree, who notes that patients may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after their treatment, but will experience the most dramatic results after two months. “The body continues to flush fat cells for up to four months. It is absolutely phenomenal. It really works!” To learn more about this revolutionary new treatment and more, call New Beauty Institute at 604-541-8750 today!
About New Beauty Institute New Beauty Institute is a technologically advanced anti-aging centre visited by men and women of all ages. Offering innovative fitness programs, groundbreaking weight loss treatments, and cutting-edge anti-aging treatments that you won’t find anywhere else, it has built a strong reputation for producing amazing results in a comfortable and caring atmosphere.
“Unlike liposuction, which can attain similar results, CoolSculpting is completely non-invasive

With a Marketing Management Diploma from BCIT and a Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Entrepreneurial Management from Royal Roads University, in the last five years, Monica has become a top realtor in her own right — with the proven results to show for it. “I always wanted to be in business and knew that I would be dealing with homes in some aspect,” says Monica. “I am very passionate about both.” Monica strongly believes in community involvement and has helped coach a Semiahmoo High School girl’s basketball team for the past five years. For her, mentorship has come full circle. “I look up to my parents and all the knowledge they’ve shared with me. I hope I can do the same in some way for these girls.”
Director Denise Darrell, who has been affiliated with the organization for the past 16 years, said “we are honoured to be recognized by the business community for the work the SFWSS does as a non profit society.’’ “To be celebrated is very rewarding and gratifying – not only are we building a successful business, we are improving the lives of families and the community.” With a steady erosion of government, private donor and other types of funding, SFWSS has spent the last two years focusing on creating innovative, long-term strategies to ensure its viability and relevance. Unique revenue generating initiatives, such as their new concierge service are being used to subsidize programs and services, while at the same time, to help meet the needs of the community and employ women who are economically disadvantaged. “We have had funding cuts just like everyone else in this sector so we wanted to launch a business employing women from the local community who are not economically privileged,” says Denise. “ All proceeds from our new revenue-generating business go right back to the free programs and services we provide.” Services at SFWSS include a hot lunch program, community kitchen, crisis support, literacy classes, clothing, peer support groups, referral services, library resources and much more.

“I don’t tell customers what to do,” Julie explains who often visits a customer’s home and takes a close look at things like decor, hard finishes and lighting. “I like to figure out what they like and what’s going to make them happy.” Kim Morrison, a designer who works out of Peninsula Paint also enjoys helping customers work through tough colour decisions, and customers often express great relief once her in-home consultation is complete. “They are just so happy they called – they’re more excited to get started and they’re relieved that they’re not tackling the project one room at a time,” Kim says. If you prefer to have a consultation with one of these designers in-store, they welcome you to bring photographs, upholstery samples or flooring into the store so they can help pick out something perfect for your home. Both stores also offer blinds, which Julie and Kim can help customers to pick out to match with the rest of your home’s decor.

SPECIALIZING IN: Eliminating Your Allergy Symptoms Naturally BIE is a painless and non-invasive new scientific approach that uses a simple and effective method to radically eliminate symptoms of allegies/intoleraces without the use of drugs or needles!
“For more than 10 years I have been tormented by an itching head. It’s like ants dancing on my scalp and the only relief is antihistamines. I’ve spent a lot of money on changing washing powders, sheets and pillow cases and nothing changed. I then began on hair and body products and have thrown many bottles of shampoo, conditioner and gels away after one or two tries. The day after I had completed a session with Ingrid, I actually went without washing my hair for the first time in years. I had not been scratching all night long! You have no idea what a relief this is! I feel as if I have more energy, I am getting a better night’s sleep, I am happier. I honestly believe that my body is already feeling healthier and I’ve definitely had less colds and infections since I began. Thank you, Ingrid for your calm and systematic approach, I know it takes time but it’s worth every minute.” With tremendous thanks, - Christine Hayes “After living most of my life dependant upon symbicort, emergency puffers and antihistamines, I reached a crisis point where I decided that something had to change. It has been six months and I AM FREE! Now I am working my way through my family with Ingrid and have the knowledge we can all be free of this nasty problem called allergies.” - Connie Elizabeth (Choiselat)

LAW FIRM
When Loretta Sramek dances, the world stands still.
As the largest group of family lawyers in B.C., the Quay Law Centre team offers various levels of experience and expertise.
For the renowned choreographer and owner of Spiral Dance Co. in White Rock, it is while teaching the art of dance or performing, that she is in her element.
Carol W.Hickman, a longtime member of Quay Law Centre, who was appointed as Queen’s Counsel last November 26, 2010, is committed to providing excellence in representation with a cost-effective approach.
“It’s the only place where I can lose myself in the moment,” says Loretta who fittingly dubbed her studio after an ancient symbol (the spiral): a continuum that signifies the movement of energy.
LORETTA SRAMEK
ABOUT MY BUSINESS… • Pre-Dance • Pre-Jazz • Pre-Ballet • Hip Hop • Tap • Jazz * Lyrical • Ballet * Pointe COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS by Audition Only
“One’s mindset can either stop us and make us stuck in whatever we are doing, or we can use positive energy to promote positive results. This has been the mindset I constantly strive for when teaching or faced with the obstacles that life and running a business can present.” Loretta, along with her team of professional dance instructors offer high quality dance instruction and the best possible learning experience that transcends beyond the studio to clients of all ages. The studio first originated in a one-studio facility on King George Hwy., but moved into its new, larger home on Stayte Road in 1996 to accommodate their expanding clientele. Spiral Dance takes great pride in offering new and continuing students a positive atmosphere that promotes self esteem, creativity, personal growth and fun. Aside from technical training, teaching includes fundamental movement patterns taught in such exercises like “The Brain Dance,” which develops kinesthetic awareness and influences brain development for academic learning.
CAROL W. HICKMAN, Q.C. Obtain key advice, before your rights are compromised. • Separation agreements and divorce • Property division including pension and business assets • Custody, guardianship and access • Child and spousal support • Marriage agreements • Common Law relationships • Same sex relationships • Restraining orders • Adoption
Representation includes: • Trial representation • Appeals • Negotiation • Mediation • Collaborative Law
Carol obtained her law degree from the University of Saskatchewan back in 1987 and has a special interest in Family Law with experience in all levels of court, including the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. While separation and divorce can be extremely stressful on the parties and the children of the relationship, Carol enjoys assisting the parties in resolving their disputes and finding a positive solution. In her community, Carol is actively involved in fundraising to support research and to try and find a cure for breast cancer. Carol has participated in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, a 60 kilometer walk, which Carol has done since 2004. Carol has also participated in the Run for the Cure, as well as the Vancouver Sun Run.

DENTAL CARE The more we learn about how teeth are worn down, says Dr. Sandra Finch, the better we can find the right balance between improving your appearance and caring for your new look. This means that a complete understanding of wear is critical to keeping your smile looking good. Because we certainly give our teeth a good workout over a lifetime, often the underlying cause of an uneven smile is day-to-day biting, improper alignment or night time grinding. These normal jaw activities can wear our pearly whites irregularly, and that will eventually cause concern.
Reverend Dorothy Blandford, PhD, ordained minister with the Canadian International Metaphysical Ministry, provides an essential role of care and compassion to seniors, people experiencing grief, and those celebrating life’s transitions. Dorothy’s organization, Innisfree Spirit Ministry, assists people at times in their lives when there is a need for spiritual consulting and support. Whether it is the loss of a family member, friend or pet, Dorothy assists clients through their grief. Additionally, she offers telephone support to seniors where there is an immense value for personal connection and reflection in the later years of life.

Simple, scientifically-based solutions for medical conditions). • Calm the mind, heal your body and lift your spirits. • Successful studies have used yoga for back pain, high blood pressure, headaches, anxiety, fibromyalgia, asthma and other chronic illnesses. • Be your own healer.
Modern neuroscience validates what the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga has been saying for more than 3000 years; healing happens when the body relaxes, the mind calms, the heart opens, and you experience a deeper sense of balance and connection to yourself, others and the outer world. At Centerpoint Yoga Therapy Studio, we offer a friendly supportive environment for you to explore, rebalance and heal. In regular classes and workshops, we cultivate awareness of habitual ways of moving, standing and interacting with the world. Using experiential anatomy, gentle and safe movement, breath work and yoga therapy tools, together we experiment to Ànd practices that bring healing and ease to body and mind. After 22 years experience as a massage therapist and yoga teacher, I strongly believe that suffering is a wake-up call to look at areas of your life that may be out of balance. At Centerpoint we offer tools from the art and science of yoga that will ultimately lead to a more healthy, balanced and fulÀlling life.

Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

Ladies of the Camellias What happens when the two pre-eminent divas of the stage in the 1890s – Sarah Berhardt and Eleanor Duse – are both to perform Lady of the Camellias, by Alexandre Dumas, in Paris, the same week and in the same theatre? That’s the premise of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s farcical historical comedy Ladies of the Camellias, next presentation of the White Rock Players Club, in a production directed by Paul Kloegman (who helmed last season’s Humble Boy). The club’s entry in this year’s TheatreBC Vancouver Zone festival, it will play April 6 to 23 at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. with Wednesday to Saturday performances at 8 p.m., plus a 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinee on April 17.

Local authors White Rock author Marya Sopova’s novel for children (ages 9-13 and higher), The MouseTronaut, is now available at Kids Books or at the Semiahmoo Arts gallery in Windsor Square. The novel, and its accompanying volume, the Rocket of Fun workbook, traces the international – and outer space – adventures of an intrepid mouse trained as part of Russia’s space program.
It first appeared in the dance halls and brothels of Buenos Aires around 1880 – and it wasn’t even considered socially acceptable in Argentina until after it became a craze in Europe just before the First World War. But authentic Argentine tango – a distinctly different dance from the ballroom tango – has lost none of its passionate mystery and beauty. It’s also hotter than ever – thanks to exposure on such television shows as Dancing With The Stars. Now Portal a Tango Dance Entertainment offers White Rock residents the chance to learn to dance Argentine tango with an ongoing series of beginner and intermediate lessons at Ocean Park Hall, 1577 128 St. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Bobbi and Patricia Lusic, Portal a Tango “works to promote Argentine tango as a healthy means for individual expression, improving quality of life and experiencing joy through music and dance.” For more information, call 778-773-9904 or visit www. portalatango.com
Rock Band Adults wanting to rock out are invited to register for a new program called My Generation – Adult Rock Band at the Todd Brewer School of Music. The fall program is open to adults of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. For more information, call 604538-2295.

Eagles drop second-round opener to Langley Chiefs Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles suffered their first loss of the B.C. Hockey League post-season Monday night, falling 4-3 to the rival Langley Chiefs in the first game of their second-round
playoff series. Making matters worse, Surrey – who swept their first round series in four straight games over the Burnaby Express – was felled by a former Eagle, as Langley forward Darnell Dyck scored the winning
tally 12:15 into the third period. Eagles leading scorer Brad McGowan – who led the league in playoff scoring after the first round – got the home team on the board first Monday, when he beat Chiefs’ netminder Wyatt Galley on
the power play, but Langley tied the game before the first intermission, when Tim Daly snuck one past Eagles goalie Karel St. Laurent, who stopped 29 shots in a losing effort. Both teams scored twice in the second frame – Josh Myers and
Matt Ius for Langley, Air Forcebound Scott Holm and Robert Lindores for the Eagles – to leave both teams knotted at 3-3 heading into the final 20 minutes. Neither team waited long to see page 48

Warriors capture B.C. junior hoops title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
I
t was a good news, bad news weekend for basketball players – both current and former – at White Rock Christian Academy last weekend. The school’s junior boys won a provincial title Saturday, just two days after its senior squad saw its season end before the B.C. tournament even began. First, the good news. WRCA’s junior boys team won its first-ever provincial championship Saturday in Victoria, edging the host St.
Michael’s University School Blue Jags 55-51, in front of more than 1,000 spectators at the Vancouver Island private school. The Warriors trailed by seven points at halftime, but a strong third quarter gave them a two-point lead heading into the fourth. St. Mike’s tied the game 48-48 with under two minutes to play, but White Rock held on for the win. “We went on a nice little 7-0 run at the end,” said WRCA assistant coach Dale Shury Monday. “It was close, but the guys played great and managed to pull it out.
“The guys are probably still walking on Cloud 9 at school today, I’m pretty sure.” WRCA’s Sam Ykema had 27 points, and was named tournament MVP. Peter Spangehl was named a tournament first-team all-star, while point guard Tyus Allen was winner of WRCA’s team award. Though the majority of the of fans at the title tilt were cheering for the host squad from St. Mike’s, White Rock was technically the home team by virtue of being a higherseed. And in addition to the 50 or so WRCA fans
in attendance – “They more than held their own,” Shury assured – each player brought a little piece of home with them, too. Before the tournament, the players were given small pieces of WRCA’s dark blue court, which were cut out of the school’s gym prior to the trip to to Victoria. “We just wanted them to feel like it was truly a home game,” said Shury. White Rock began with a lopsided 84-51 win over L.V. Rogers, before bouncing Burnaby South 70-50 in a game Shury said was see page 48

Teams traded second-period goals from page 47 answer for a goal scored against them in the second period, either. After Myers’ power-play tally at 6:36, Holm scored just 20 seconds later. And after Lindores – who has five points in five games so far this post-season – gave the Eagles a brief 3-2 lead midway through the period, Ius responded just 1:42 later to tie it. Ius finished the game with a goal and two helpers, giving him 12 post-season points, and a one-point
cushion on McGowan, who had 11 after Monday night’s affair. The Eagles had the opportunity to draw even in the best-of-seven series Tuesday – also at South Surrey Arena – but results were not available by Peace Arch News deadline. Games 3 and 4 move to the Langley Events Centre on Thursday and Friday nights. Puck drops in both games at 7 p.m. If a fifth game is necessary, it will be played Sunday, 4 p.m. in South Surrey.

from page 47 closer than the score indicated. “Burnaby’s a good team, but we just played really, really well in that one. It wasn’t a cakewalk.” The provincial semifinals were a rematch of the Fraser Valley title game – which WRCA won over W.J. Mouat earlier this month. White Rock again got the best of their Abbotsford rivals, winning 58-45. WRCA point guard Tyus Allen was the game’s high-scorer, with 24 points, and he helped ice the game by going seven-for-eight from the free-throw line down the stretch.
Senior boys WRCA’s seniors, meanwhile, will be on the outside of B.C. Triple A basketball championships looking in for the first time in more than 10 years, after losing its final game of the Fraser Valleys – which was a do-or-die affair – 72-62 to the
lower-ranked Fleetwood Park Dragons. The Warriors led by 10 at halftime, but struggled in the second half and coughed up the lead. A day after the loss, WRCA head coach John Dykstra was still upset with the game’s outcome. “That’s an understatement,” he said. “We were up at halftime, but Fleetwood Park just wanted it more than us. We didn’t box out, we didn’t play good defence – we let them have way too many second- and third-chance points. “We didn’t deserve to win.” Before facing Fleetwood Park, the Warriors lost 65-46 to Walnut Grove, which set up Thursday’s winner-take-all tilt for a spot at provincials. “There’s just this empty feeling,” Dykstra continued. “When you get beat in the finals, that’s one thing, that isn’t an empty feeling. But when you work so hard all year – all those 5:30 a.m.
Chairs, Sofas, and Love Seats!
practices, the nutrition plans, all that stuff – and then you lose like that, when you have so much more you could’ve gave…”
CIS Championships And to top off a busy weekend on the hardcourt, three former WRCA stars – Tyrell and Eli Mara and Tonner Jackson – in addition to former coach Scott Allen, helped lead the Trinity Western University Spartans to a berth in CIS Championships, set to begin in Halifax later this week. The Spartans, who were ranked No. 4 in the country heading into the Canada West championships, earned the eighth and final spot at CIS championships. They lost to top-seeded UBC and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies in Canada West championships last week, but were awarded a wild card entry. They tip off against Acadia Friday at 9 a.m.
