Opponents criticize Hiebert’s mail-out, advertising

MP’s Conservative campaign literature ‘jumped the gun’ Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Federal Liberal candidate Hardy Staub is taking incumbent Conservative Russ Hiebert to task for an election brochure mail-out sent to voters days before the upcoming federal election was called on March 26.

Staub said in a press release that Hiebert should admit if taxpayers paid for the mail-out – which other critics are estimating must have cost at least $8,000-$10,000 to print and mail. “The people of the constituency deserve to know without delay who paid for the printing and mailing

of your brochure that arrived in riding mailboxes before the dissolution of Parliament,” Staub said, addressing an open call to Hiebert in his statement. “It says something about your ethics that you jumped the gun – while your government was so emphatic it didn’t want an election

– by mailing self-promotion ahead of the actual election call.” Staub told Peace Arch News it was also telling of the tactics of the Harper government in general. “Isn’t it amazing that Mr. Harper and all the Conservatives said ‘no – we don’t want an election, it’s unnecessary,’ and suddenly, boom-

boom, before the writ is dropped the election material is out there.” And other candidates for the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding are lining up to take shots at Hiebert’s – and the Conservatives’ – electioneering practices. see page A4

Last call for 50-year tradition

Bingo players are to converge on Star of the Sea Centre for the final time Thursday evening. After more than 50 years, the White Rock event is to be permanently cancelled due to waning revenue and attendance. “It’s regrettable, but expenses are more than revenues, so it’s simply a business decision,” Star of the Sea Parish Rev. Stanley Galvon said. “There’s been declining attendance for quite a few months, but there comes a point where it’s clear to everyone that it’s not sustainable.” Galvon said the decision was made recently for the independent, volunteer-run event, which has been held Mondays for more than five decades, and Thursdays since the early 1970s. At one time, the evenings drew 250 players, he said, noting that number was cut in half after smoking was banned. Most recently, competition with casinos and online gambling, as well as an aging participant base, has drawn attendance to just 60 people on an average night.

Man with machete reported chasing woman

Armed standoff ends peacefully Kevin Diakiw Black Press

RCMP officers surround a Newton house.

A man has been arrested after an armed standoff in Newton that lasted four hours. Police responded to a call for help after a woman was allegedly chased down the street by a man with a machete.

She was unharmed, but the 32-year-old Surrey man ran back into his house in the 12100-block of 66 Avenue and barricaded the door. Police believed he may have also had access to a firearm, so with an abundance of caution, they waited, while trying to talk him

out of the house. At about 5 p.m., the man came out, and was arrested. Several charges are being considered. Police say his dispute with the woman was over money. No one was harmed in the incident.

news Japan’s disaster hits home for South Surrey woman

Relatives find comfort in positive spirit Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

Nearly three weeks after a 9.0-magnitude earthquake rocked her hometown in Japan, Akiko Sugawara has a better idea of how her family is faring. Power has been restored to her parents’ rice farm in Osaki, which is about an hour outside Sendai, the east-coast city closest to the quake’s epicentre. Peace Arch News reported earlier this month how Sugawara, 32, learned through text messages and sporadic phone calls that her parents had no electricity, water or gas, and that temperatures were expected to dip below 0 degrees in the coming days. Although their house was still standing, it was “smashed and destroyed” inside, Sugawara told PAN at the time. News of the devastation was heartbreaking for Sugawara, who had been visiting the area with her two young children before returning home to South Surrey March 6 – just days before the quake and subsequent tsunami. Sugawara has since made further contact with family, and they speak every few days.

“I know they are doing well and I’ve heard people are not just being depressed. I think lots of people are also having hope and trying to rebuild the area.” While power and water is returning to the area “little by little,” gasoline is still hard to come by, Sugawara noted. She said her sister had to wait several hours in a lineup to receive a rationed amount. There are also hours-long lineups at grocery stores, which have imposed a 10-item limit per person. Despite the constrictions, people are being gracious, Sugawara said. “People are just patiently waiting.” Sugawara said her parents have rice stocked up from last year that they are sharing with those in need. They also grow produce, which they have been able to water again with the farm’s pump after power was restored. “They’ve been trying to save the vegetables, and so my parents are doing their farming and helping other people, so they’ve been really busy. I try not to disturb them, but they call when they have a chance to update me.” Sugawara said her father has been taking rice and vegetables to friends and family

Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

As Akiko Sugawara watched video footage of a tsunami sweep through farms, roadways and whole villages in her home country of Japan, she felt heartbreak. She thought of all her friends and family members in Sendai, the east coast city closest to the earthquake’s epicentre and where she called home for four years while attending college. She thought of her parents, sister and other relatives in nearby Osaki, where the rice-farming family has lived on the same land for 500 years. And she thought of the aquarium located on Sendai’s coast, where hundreds of bodies have since been found. Sugawara, 32, had taken her two young children to the exhibit during her most recent return trip home, just days before tragedy struck. She had been visiting family for three weeks with two-year-old Anzu and

and subsequent tsunami struck the country’s northeast coast, killing thousands. “The scary thing is she usually goes there for a month, so she would’ve been potentially leaving the day it happened,” husband Daniel Pape said. Sugawara – who moved to B.C. from Japan eight years ago – was first alerted by a friend’s call Thursday evening, minutes after the quake. “She thought I was still in Japan and she wanted to let Daniel know what happened in Sendai. She was surprised because I picked up the phone. It was about 10 p.m.” Sugawara didn’t initially worry, as earthquakes are common in Japan. She experienced

It was when she checked the news online that she realized this one was different. “I told my husband and he put on CNN. I started to call my parents but the phone didn’t go through. I tried and tried and tried. For six hours, I couldn’t get through.” Pape said those six hours were “hell.” It wasn’t until Sugawara’s sister sent a text message that the couple learned immediate family members were physically unharmed and Sugawara’s parents’ house – although still standing – was “smashed and destroyed” inside. When Sugawara was able to let her family know what was being reported, her mother

Paramedics tend to a 13-year-old girl, who was shot in the back in a Fleetwood home Friday. A man’s body was found later in the burning house.

Fleetwood girl says family friend shot her in the back

‘…a loud bang, then my body was numb’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Thirteen-year-old Anna Nguyen says it was a family friend who shot her Friday. She was at home alone on the morning of March 25, when a man in his 30s came to the door. Because he was a family friend, she let him in. He went to Anna’s room, and a few minutes later attacked her and pulled a gun. “I just remember a really loud bang and then how my body was numb,” Nguyen told CTV News Saturday. “Then he left to go to my mom’s room and then I grabbed my phone and ran out the back door.” She grabbed her cellphone and ran from the 15700-block 90 Avenue home. She was found two blocks away, near Woodlands Elementary where she goes to school.

Police then responded to a fire at the home, where they discovered the body of the man. The coroner’s office later reported that 36-yearold Alexander Huynh died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Friends say Anna has lived in the home for about four years. Nguyen’s mother was on scene Friday as the house burned, visibly shaken by what she was seeing. It was her initial impression that Anna was still in the home and alone. Moments later, an RCMP officer came and got Anna’s mother, saying she needed to join her daughter at Royal Columbian Hospital. Anna is described by friends as a “funny” girl, well-known for her sleepover parties and sense of humour. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, but police initially feared someone was still in the home.

Emergency Response Teams descended on the home, checking for anyone else. The SPCA was also on hand to remove a pit bull and a Rottweiler from the scene. Anna wasn’t comfortable telling CTV News why the family friend had shot her, or what he was doing in her mother’s room – only saying, “It’s a personal matter.” She said it was totally unexpected, however, and that he was a friend of her parents who she had no reason to fear. Area resident Joise Pontes described the Fleetwood-area neighbourhood as extremely quiet, especially the Nguyen home. “I’ve never seen or heard anything from them,” Pontes said, adding Friday’s events were disturbing. “It’s sad, very sad. I feel so insecure now.” The Surrey RCMP Major Crime Unit is investigating.

It could be months before details are released on last week’s policeinvolved shooting in Crescent Beach that left 23-year-old Brendon Beddow of Surrey dead. “The investigation is still open and it’s still ongoing. It could take several months or up to at least a year for expert reports to come back and those to be examined and reports to be written about those,” Vancouver Police Department Const. Lindsey Houghton told Peace Arch News Tuesday. The incident occurred March 23 in the 3000block of McBride Avenue, when Surrey RCMP were dispatched to a domestic disturbance around 2 p.m., after a woman called 911. Two officers were Brendon Beddow confronted by a man at the home, and shots were fired, Houghton said last week. The man was shot by police and died a short time later outside the house, he said. One witness told PAN he saw the man swearing at police and holding a gun before the two parties exchanged gunfire. RCMP policy requires that an independent police agency – in this case, the VPD – investigate officer-involved shootings resulting in death or serious injury. It was South Surrey’s second shooting death involving police officers this month, following the killing of Adam Purdie after a police chase March 2. Purdie had been pulled over by Surrey RCMP in the 15400-block of 16 Avenue, when he sped away just after an officer noticed a firearm in the back seat. He was shot and killed at Highway 10 and King George Boulevard. Saanich Police are investigating. – Hannah Sutherland

End of an era for ‘old-time bingo’ from page A1 Despite the lower turnout, the evenings still served as a social setting for many, including South Surrey resident Evelyn Cockerill, who has been attending for more than 40 years. “A lot of the people you get to know over the years and you see them there twice a week,” she said. “The thing of it is now, these people, we’re never going to see them again.” Cockerill said there aren’t any other bingo events in the community, and she doesn’t plan to travel outside the area to continue playing – especially when other venues use machines rather than

I’m going to miss a lot of people.” Galvon said the parish will have to be creative in filling the revenue gap left by the bingo events. Funds raised – $30,000-$40,000

editorial

Making a mess of nomination process s a school board chair, vice-president of the Vancouver Giants and wellknown man about town in Delta, the Conservatives had themselves a good candidate in Dale Saip for Delta-Richmond East. But a day and a half after his nomination win, a mystery person drops off a package at a newspaper. The package outlines Saip’s financially troubled past: one bankruptcy plus a later protection from bankruptcy filing. A politician with a past of money troubles. Makes great headlines. But is it really such a big deal? Lorne Mayencourt, a former Liberal MLA and the Conservative federal candidate in Vancouver Centre in the last election, declared bankruptcy twice. And he was pretty open about it – it was one of the first things out of his mouth when he introduced himself to our sister paper, the WestEnder, back in 2001. The 1990s were a bad decade for Saip. He threw a lot of money in an oriented strandboard mill proposal, expecting to get Chinese financial backing. Then Tianamen Square hit and the Chinese weren’t too happy about being criticized for killing unarmed protesters, so the money dried up. Throw in a divorce and a custody battle and Saip’s bottom line looked like something Jim Flaherty would come up with. Despite knowing about Saip’s old money woes, the Conservatives forced him out on Thursday after the story broke. Saip said he was upfront with the Tories all along about his past financial troubles. There’s also been questions about Saip being allowed to seek the nomination in the first place. He wasn’t a member for the required amount of time, but that was waived by the Conservatives. So if this all such a big deal why did the Conservatives let him run in the first place? It likely shows that the Conservatives are running their nomination meetings with too much haste. There was an understandable desire to get candidates in place prior to last week’s election call. But the mess in Delta-Richmond East is all the Conservatives’ own doing. They’ve dumped a candidate who is seen as electable in the vote-rich Delta portion of the riding. They’ve rejected the wishes of the majority of those who voted in the nomination meeting. Dale Saip isn’t the one who should be embarrassed, it’s the Conservatives.

99 responding why not just make poverty history? Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of poverty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one. Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage. I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals. Right, kind of like those five-year plans for tractor production the Soviet Union had back in the ’70s. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize information? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs? There’s a clue to our stagnant political debate. It’s largely formed in public schools. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Keep it clean, South Surrey Editor: Where is the pride in our community? I went for a walk last weekend, west along 40 Avenue between 156 and King George Boulevard. Our family just moved here from the Island, and I thought it would be a great day for a leisurely walk through the green belt to get away from the “burbs.” Within a few seconds of starting my walk, I was struck by the huge amount of garbage in the south-side ditch that runs along this stretch. People have actually been dumping their garbage into these ditches, and the amount of furniture, electronics, paint cans, booze bottles, coffee cups, old tires, plastic, clothes and just about everything else you can imagine is depressing and completely disgusting. I have been telling friends and family on the Island that South Surrey and White Rock are top-class, progressive communities and not worthy of the “Surrey” reputation that is still out there. I still feel that way but am saddened by the lack of respect some people have for the communities they live in. Furthermore, most communities clean up their public thoroughfares and green spaces, so why don’t we do that here? A. Mackay, Surrey

It makes perfect sense for a city that today has more children than any other community in the province. Since the centre opened, tens of thousands of children have received care closer to home. The hospital now sees the second most births in the province. The neonatal intensive care unit cares for hundreds of fragile premature babies each year, with plans to expand the service. The pediatric cancer clinic is highly regarded by the families who seek its services. Our surgical services are also expanding, and we continue to attract specialists who can give our children the care they need. As our city approaches 500,000 residents, the growth of our children’s health services is critical to our prosperity and quality of life. Thank you to those who came together a decade ago to raise $10

million to help the Children’s Health Centre open. Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation celebrates this important anniversary and encourages the community to sustain its support for health care. Jane Adams, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation president

Survival of the richest Editor: Re: “On the brink,” March 18 Producing cheap or free adequate housing for the homeless is indeed better than naught; however, it is still not enough. Those who are homeless and/or impoverished have a sometimes-

great nemesis in mainstream society, its political officials and in many prominent news-media figures, whom generally are fiscal conservatives and social – e.g. abortion and homosexual rights – liberals. Such ideology is replacing the polarized left- and right-wing camps of the past – all of which translate into ‘welfare’ and ‘social services’ becoming dirty words. B.C.’s current government seems to be the antithesis of a friend to the very poor, allowing cuts to the social safety net during hard times, because it knows that society is, at best, apathetic towards any form of ‘welfare bum.’ In its fundamentalist form, this ideology basically translates into the survival of the richest and the fully employed. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

No room for tree policy Editor: Re: White Rock tree policy to be reviewed, March 23. A policy is not a bylaw, and the City of White Rock should know the difference – or perhaps they did. A policy does not require a public hearing, whereas a bylaw does. Was it intentional that the city did an end around its own treemanagement bylaw, which requires residents to follow specific rules, but the policy gives the city to do otherwise? There is no provision for removal of trees in the city’s tree bylaw. The city could save staff and its residents’ time by simply removing the policy from its books and following its own bylaw. Phil Le Good, White Rock

Investment pays off Editor: We recently recorded an important anniversary for children and families in Surrey. Ten years ago, on March 16, the Children’s Health Centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital first opened its doors to patients. It was the first step in providing the care and services our rapidly growing population’s families need.

Creosote ties – like those awaiting installation in White Rock last week – are outdated, writes Wolfgang Schmitz.

Keep track of potential dangers Editor: For quite some time, I noticed the detrimental conditions of the decades-old sleepers on the BSNF tracks along the promenade. The welded tracks, laid down some five years ago, delayed increased damage to the roadbed for a short time. In October last year, I raised the issue at a City of White Rock meeting, pointing out that dozens of ties were cracked, spikes were missing, on some spots the ballast was washed away and that, simply, the line does not meet Department of Transport standards. It’s only a matter of time when we experience a serious accident or disaster. My suggestion – to ask council to have the tracks inspected immediately – was rejected by the chairman and the council representative of the committee, stating we do “not have the experience.” It was noted that a citizen could make such a request. Obviously my 40 years national and international experience in transportation on three continents does not count in White Rock, not to mention that anybody walking along the promenade with his or her eyes open should have noticed the problem. My idea was to inform the experts of the city engineering department that most European countries have banned the use of creosote-treated wood since the early ’90s, and make sure that the entire section in Canada be replaced with concrete ties used worldwide, except the U.S. and here. But then, where in these two countries has a railroad been built in the past 100 years? I will follow up with Environment Canada and their regulations on the use of creosote. Will be interesting! Wolfgang Schmitz, White Rock

Q It’s nice to know the train in White Rock is used for more than just importing and exporting items, such as chemicals or other needs. However, the railway that runs along our beach is a safety hazard. Why? Well, first of all, the ground around the tracks is certainly not as stable as it was when it was first built. Many trains go through there on a regular basis. They are heavy and shake, causing the ground to shake and become loose. It’s like a mini-earthquake, you could say. So, leading to my second point, what is the city and province going to do if one day the ground gives away and the tracks slide? What about if there was a train going through when that happened? Many people could be killed and many chemicals or other things will be put into our ocean that may not be able to be removed. Our water will be polluted, leaving beautiful White Rock without water. I don’t know how many people have taken the time to think about this, but I know I sure do every time I go to the beach. C. Furlong, Surrey

Look at the positive Re: Fuming over creosote use, March 25 letters. I am always amazed about the people that offer objection to any project that in their mind will damage the environment, but never are able to roll up their sleeves and come with a well-though-out alternative. Rise to the reality and don’t always depend on others to do the work for you. Look at the positive side also; “it creates jobs.” Based on the environmental views, we would have more homeless.

Crosswalk funds OK’d Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Fifty thousand dollars of White Rock’s 2010 general surplus will help fund a crosswalk at North Bluff Road and Foster Street. Council last week endorsed the recommendation, which was put forth by the city’s finance and audit committee. Committee members voted earlier this month to suggest the allocation, following a recommendation by Coun. Doug McLean that $100,000 be dedicated to the task. “There’s a public-safety aspect here,” McLean reasoned. McLean, along with Mayor Catherine

For the record White Rock’s Business Improvement Association was given a five-year mandate by city council last week, after 11 per cent of commercial property owners registered opposition. Couns.

Ferguson, did not support a committee motion that reduced the allocation to $50,000. The amendment was put forth by Coun. Lynne Sinclair, who argued the City of Surrey should share the tab for the crosswalk. Ferguson offered to connect with Surrey officials on the matter. McLean, in explaining his lack of support for the funding reduction, said the issue is too important to wait, as foot traffic across North Bluff has increased since Shoppers Drug Mart crossed the street to South Surrey. “I’d like to get their safety protected and get the crosswalk in for sure this year,” McLean said. Grant Meyer and Doug McLean were absent for the vote, which approved collecting $300,000 through an annual BIA levy, with only Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson opposed. Incorrect information appeared in the March 25 Peace Arch News.

Now, more than 20 years later, the South Surrey resident runs his hands over a Cessna 172 similar to the one from his first piloting experience. Although the plane is more than 40 years old, its red and white body accented with gold stripes gleams under the threat of a dark, overcast sky.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like I got back into a sailboat and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so freeing.â&#x20AC;? Being a member of Abbotsford Flying Club means Spentzas can take out the plane at his leisure, avoiding the costs, work and responsibility that would come with owning his own. His annual membership fee of $375 and airtime fee of $130/hour allows him access to the two 172s and Piper Cherokee Archer II, which he can sign out for a simple day trip or extended journey. Despite the accessibility, Spentzas said the planes are underused, only flying about 400 hours a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them to get at least 1,000 hours.â&#x20AC;? The club has discussed refurbishing and rebuilding them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or getting new ones altogether â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make the offering more attractive. And there are other appeals of the

organization, which has 28 pilots in a membership of 120 people. Spentzas, now the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promotions director, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see more people from Surrey and White Rock sign up and take advantage of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; complete with bar and kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and events that range from family barbecues to the Abbotsford International Airshow. The club â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which marks its 50th anniversary this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also annually hosts First Flights for Kids, in which pilots take children ages seven to 13 on a 15-minute flight for free. Seeing the smiles on the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces is one of the most satisfying aspects of Spentzasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career as a pilot. That, and sitting in Chilliwack Airport, his plane visible in the parking lot behind him, as he drives a fork into a warm, flaky slice of Bing cherry pie nestled next to a generous scoop of ice cream. Just one of the many things worth flying for. For more information on Abbotsford Flying Club, visit www.abbotsfordflyingclub. ca

Childhood tales come to life Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter, Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, and Squirrel Nutkin. Beatrix Potter’s charming tales of Peter Rabbit and friends are brought to life for preschoolers through a series of extension programs offered by the Surrey Museum at the new Kensington Prairie Community Centre. The programs, for kids aged three to six, run Tuesdays until June at the centre, located at 16824 32 Avenue in South Surrey. The Kensington Prairie programs are part of a new initiative by the Surrey

Museum to take its popular preschool programs out into the community, says museum public programs specialist Oana Capota. “This is an opportunity to bring the museum’s staff and items from its collections, as well as our experience with preschoolers, outside the walls of our building.” Beatrix Potter was a conservationist and prizewinning sheep farmer, who also worked as a writer and illustrator. She shared her home with many of the animals in

The programs will introduce Surrey’s agricultural pioneer history through stories, giving children a peek at how kids grew up long ago. To register and for more information, call 604-592-6956. Kensington Prairie is a historic elementary school originally built in 1914. After the school closed down, it was preserved as a city facility thanks to lobbying from the community. – Jennifer Lang

Can we blame it all on the feminist movement, which is laterally being referred to as the new “f ” word? Not so fast.

A taste of the Middle East I t was around 18 years ago that Yossi Shalevich bade farewell to his family and friends in Israel to embark on a new journey in Canada. While the father of two may have spent his childhood in a country notorious for war and violence, what he remembers is a Kristyl Clark far cry from how it’s portrayed in the media. “I would spend as much time outside playing without ever giving it a second thought,” says Shalevich, who lived with his parents, younger brother and sister in a suburb just outside of Tel Aviv. Shalevich, 44, was in his mid20s when he moved to Ontario to study economics at the University of Toronto. While he admits he was prepared to acclimatize to a new culture, he wasn’t exactly ready for the drastic change in temperature. “I’ll never forget my first winter,” he laughs. “I looked out my window and saw the sun was shining, so I went outside in my shorts and flip flops. It was so cold it took my breathe away – it was -20 C.” After graduation, Shalevich found work as a stockbroker/trader in downtown Toronto, a path that would lead him to his future wife, Laura, now mother of his two children, Lior, 2, and Shai, six weeks. “She worked in the back of the trade office and we hit it off right away,” says Shalevich, who moved with his new bride to Vancouver in search of sunnier skies and a new business venture. Shalevich, who served in the Israeli army as a lieutenant general for four years, has always been passionate about fitness, martial arts and self defense. Two years ago, the couple took a leap of faith and decided to combine his interests by

opening a one-of-a-kind fitness franchise in South Surrey and Langley geared specifically to women – The 30 Minute Hit. The 30-minute circuit is a high-intensity action-packed boxing/kickboxing workout where women can sweat and burn their way to achieving results they never thought possible, according to Shalevich. “It’s not an easy workout, but it’s really rewarding to watch the women get in shape and gain confidence.” Having a new business, newborn and toddler to tend to, Shalevich admits he rarely gets to spend more than 30 minutes in the kitchen. He prefers to whip up something quick and nutritious, like his recipe for hummus, which he shares with readers. While it’s easily available at most grocery stores, Shalevich said he prefers to make his own from scratch. “It’s far more fresh and you don’t have to worry about having all that sodium, plus it’s just so easy to make.”

Yossi’s Hummus Ingredients: 19 0z can chickpeas 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup water 3 tbsp. lemon juice 1 clove garlic 1/4 cup tahini 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1 hot pepper (optional)

Instructions: Strain and wash chickpeas. Throw all ingredients into food processor and blend until you get the desired consistency. Dip best served with lots of Olive Oil. For an extra kick throw in thyme and cayenne pepper. Serve with warm pita bread on the side.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

‘We just ran out of gas,’ says Surrey head coach

Eagles ousted after Game 6 loss Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Through the first five games of their best-of-seven Coastal Conference final against the Powell River Kings, the Surrey Eagles were plagued by slow starts – the Kings scored first in each game. And though the Eagles were able to claw back and win two of those tilts, they weren’t so lucky Friday at South Surrey Arena, losing Game 6 4-1, thus bringing an end to the Peninsula junior hockey team’s season. “We just ran out of gas, and against a good team like Powell River, we just came up a little bit short,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart, noting that 17 players are eligible to return next season. “It’s a good lesson for those guys, and hopefully will help us next year. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from the guys.” The Eagles had forced Game 6 after winning a day earlier 3-1 in Powell River – a contest in which the Eagles didn’t mount any offence in the opening frame, and relied on a monster performance from goalie Karel St. Laurent to get the victory. Neither team mounted much offence early in Friday’s deciding game, either, but the high-powered Kings took a commanding lead early in the second frame, when Daniel Schuler and Chad Niddery – the latter on a power play – scored highlight-reel worthy goals to put the visitors up 2-0 by the seven-minute mark. The turning point – or the nail in the coffin, as it were - came just over eight minutes later, when Eagles’ forward Robert Lindores was whistled for a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for a check-from-behind on Niddery, Powell River’s leading scorer. On the ensuing five-minute power play, the Kings extended the lead to 3-0 on a goal by Cohen Adair. Early in the third period, Surrey had the opportunity to cut the gap during a five-on-three power play

Shortly after the Eagles’ manadvantage yielded nothing, the Kings put the game out of reach when Schuler walked around a Surrey blue-liner and slipped the puck past St. Laurent.

At the 11:17 mark, 20-year-old Daniel Gentzler – playing his last game of junior hockey – finally got the home team on the board when he converted a rebound of a Steve Koshey shot. After a heart-breaking loss last Tuesday – the Kings won the game in triple-overtime – the Eagles

trailed 3-1 in the series, but kept their season afloat Thursday with the Game 5 win. Playing in a hostile environment – Hap Parker Arena, where the Kings lost just four times during the regular season – the Eagles scored three unanswered goals see page A26

Many Birds wounded As is usually the case when a long playoff run comes to an end – and the Surrey Eagles’ just-finished playoff stretch was the longest since the team’s championship season of 2005 – it’s not until the final horn sounds that certain injuries are brought to light. And the Eagles are no different; through the course of three best-of-seven post-season rounds, the team dealt with a myriad of maladies, some of them more serious – and in the case of forward Scott Holm, more grotesque – than others. Holm – who’ll play next season at Air Force – played the last four games of the Powell River series with a badly injured middle finger on his right hand. The tip of the digit had to be stitched back on, and Eagles’ marketing director Kyle Bryan, when posting a photo of the injury to the team’s Twitter account, added Holm “almost lost the end” of it. In addition to Holm, captain Tyler Morley, it was announced after the Coastal Conference finals, was playing with a broken nose and broken hand, and blue-liner Linden Saip played just eight playoff games of a possible 16 due to a high ankle sprain. He returned to the lineup in Game 4 of the conference finals, but was out again just a few shifts into Game 5 with the same ankle problem. Dale Hunt, who had 19 points in 26 regular season games in Surrey, missed all but two playoff games due to an ankle injury that carried over from the regular season, and leading scorer and team MVP Brad McGowan also missed the last two games against Powell River with a concussion. Surrey also played the entire postseason without rookie Michael Stenerson, who broke his leg in the regular season. “Three rounds into the see page A26

sports Peace Arch beats Chilliwack 6-1

United wins league title Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Peace Arch United captured the Fraser Valley Soccer League’s premier-division title Saturday – and in convincing fashion, too – with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Chilliwack Mission United. The win – and the FVSL title – is the first of potentially two championship trophies PAU can collect this month. The premier men’s squad faces off against North Delta Saturday for the Pakenham Cup. “We’re halfway there,” said Peace Arch United’s John Collins, on the potential double-dip. Mike Evans and Taki Vohalis each had a pair of goals for Peace Arch Saturday, with Jamie Williams and an owngoal from Chilliwack rounding out the scoring. Despite the lopsided score, it was largely a defensive battle through the opening 25 minutes, as neither team could find the back of the net. Peace Arch opened the scoring at that point, but Chilliwack’s Mike Perry knotted the game 1-1 shortly thereafter. Before halftime though, Peace Arch potted three quick ones to go up 4-1 at the break, and then added two more in the second

half. “We came into the game really prepared, and Chilliwack, being a ninth-place team, didn’t really have a whole lot to play for,” Collins said. The win not only gives Peace Arch the premier banner – and the chance for its first double championship since the 2007 and ’08 seasons – but also ensures PAU will have a top-four seed at the provincial cup later this spring. “That’s really important for us – it means we won’t have to face another top-four seed until later (in the tournament),” Collins said. “At this point in the year, it’s all about keeping that momentum going and moving forward. This puts us in a real good spot.” Peace Arch finishes the 18-game Fraser Valley Soccer League schedule with a 13-4-1 record (win-loss-tie). They’ll hit the field for the Pakenham Cup final on Saturday, 2:30 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park against North Delta. Prior to the Pakenham contest, Peace Arch United’s Division 2 men’s team will play for the President’s Cup title at 1 p.m., also at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Premier Sharks tripped up by James Bay Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharks made a few too many mistakes – at inopportune times – against first-place James Bay in CDI Premier Rugby League action Saturday, and the gaffes turned a would-be upset into a 32-23 win for the visiting Vancouver Island side. “We talked all week about not giving James Bay easy territory, not giving them easy points – but then we did,” said Bayside coach David Benoit. “We gave them two or three easy tries. Now, James Bay is good, but they’re not that good, and that’s a game, in our home park, that we should’ve won.” Peter Clifford led the scoring for Bayside with three penalty kicks and two conversions, while Brodie Henderson and Seni-

St. Laurent stopped 44 shots in Game 5 from page A23 over the final 40 minutes to erase an early 1-0 deficit to earn the win. After Powell River’s Craig Dalrymple opened the scoring 12:20 into the first period with a powerplay goal, the Eagles responded

in the second frame on an unassisted power-play marker from Jeff Vanderlugt. In the third, Hayden Trupp and Richard Vanderhoek scored four minutes apart to extend the lead. St. Laurent was instrumental in extending the series another day

Eagles’ injuries piled up as playoffs wore on from page A23 playoffs, and these things eventually catch up to you, but… I’m sure every team has the same issues this time of the year,” Eagles coach Matt Erhart said. The scheduling in the series – which saw teams play three

straight nights, with travel in between each game – did not help teams on the injury front, either, as they had little time to recover. On Friday before Game 6, McGowan wrote on his personal Twitter account, “3 games in 3 nights in 3rd round

with a 6 hour trip,” and ended the missive with the hashtag #whatisthebchlthinking. Erhart refused to use the travel issues as a crutch for the loss, however. “It was the same for both teams,” he said. - Nick Greenizan

With the budding crocuses and daffodils, spring offers an opportunity for Peninsula seniors to bloom. The White Rock/South Surrey area offers a whole host of recreational activities, volunteer opportunities, clubs, informative classes and bus trips to help keep your mind and body in tip top shape. In this special edition of Young at Heart, we introduce you to two couples who have met and fallen head-over-heels at a local singles club, a listing of up-andcoming events geared specifically to seniors and much more.

Club connects single seniors Kristyl Clark Black Press

hen Nan Devereaux, nee Bearpark, started a social club for seniors 12 years ago, she hoped to expand her social circle, but never imagined it would lead to a trip down the aisle. “That was never my intention,” laughed the 80-year-old South Surrey resident and founder of the Mixed Singles Over Sixty club. “It has never been about romance. I just wanted to meet new friends and get a club available for other people who were in the same boat I was in. When you get to a certain age it can be really tough to meet people, especially if you aren’t all that interested in going to the pubs.” In Febuary of 1999, Nan placed an ad in the Peace Arch News and posted a few signs around the community advertising a dinner group for singles over the age of 60 – she eagerly awaited a response. “I had two calls, both from women who were interested in joining,” said Nan.

Pam Tovell and Jim Meyers met at the Single Over Sixty Club in White Rock three years ago and have been together ever since.

Singles’ group still searching for male members from page A30 “A few weeks later we had eight ladies and one man – it’s a lot harder to find men to join, even today.” Shortly after starting the club, a spark ignited between Nan and Jack, a fellow member and widower who had lost his wife the same year Nan’s husband had passed away. “He’s a sweetheart – a real quiet gentleman,” said Nan of the man she married 10 years ago in a small, intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family at the Bedford House restaurant in Fort Langley. Five years ago, Jack, 85, had a stroke at the South Surrey home the couple shared. Shortly after, he began to suffer from dementia. Unable to care for Jack on a full-time basis due to her own health issues, he now resides in long-term care at the Rosemary Heights Senior Village. While Nan said it pains her not to have her husband by her side each morning when she wakes up, she always looks forward to having him home on the weekends. “We do all kinds of social things together – he is wonderful company.” Jack and Nan no longer attend regular meetings of the MSOS club, but the couple does drop by from time to time for a visit. “They’ve made us honorary members

WHITE ROCK FLEA MARKET STEWART, Gertrude (Gerty)

Dr. Ralph Walter Logan

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

Passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, B.C. Canada, on Sunday morning, with family by her side. Predeceased by her Sister (Bunty) and husband (Tom) of 40 years and survived by their sons Graham and Alan (Brenda) and granddaughters Allison and Lindsay. She is also survived by her two nieces and their families extending from Scotland to Australia. Always being game for a challenge - including immigration at the age of 75, she survived two bouts of cancer, a broken ankle and a fractured pelvis ...all since moving to Canada. More recently however, her advancing years found her unable to sustain the onset of a third, short but determined recurrence of cancer and, in spite of a valiant effort, she finally succumbed to the effects of the disease. As a loving, caring, mother, grandmother and friend she will be dearly missed by friends and family. Our thanks go to the nursing staff at the Al Hogg facility, to Dr. A. McDonald and to neighbors at 1740 Southmere Crescent. In lieu of flowers requests that donations be made to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. Funeral arrangements are: 3pm, Friday 1st of April at the St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 1480 George St., White Rock .

May 30, 1917 - March 27, 2011

May 29, 1920 - March 21, 2011 Ralph Logan passed away peacefully on March 21, after a full and fruitful life. He is survived by Maree, his loving wife of 62 years. Ralph is also survived by his children: Carol (Bruce), Elaine (Jim), and Janice (Louise); grandchildren: Kristen, Tony, Miranda (Shane), Kate, Andrew, and William; and great-grandson Dominick. He was predeceased by his son Alan (Sherry). He is also survived by his brother John (Ruth). Ralph was born and raised in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. As a boy he excelled at music, playing piano and the clarinet. At the outbreak of WWII, Ralph volunteered, and served as a gunner among the first Canadian troops in England. There, he was accepted into the Royal Air Force, and returned to Canada to complete flight training. An exceptional pilot, Ralph served as an instructor in the allied flight training mission in Ontario throughout the war. Following the war, he was trained as an optometrist at the University of Toronto. While studying in Toronto, he met the love of his life in Maree Campbell. Maree and Ralph were married on June 12, 1948. Following completion of studies, they settled in Portage la Prairie, where Ralph set up his optometry practice. Life in Portage was filled with family, work, and a strong dedication to community. Ralph was a devoted husband and loving father, who dealt positively and pragmatically with the many challenges of life. He served in the Rotary Club, including a term as its president. He was widely known across the region, and respected as a pillar of the community. In 1985, Ralph and Maree retired to White Rock, BC, where they enjoyed travel, leisure, and family. An avid reader, Ralph poured through thousands of books. He enjoyed the symphony and classical music. Also the scurl of the pipes, and a wee dram. The family thanks the staff at Evergreen Baptist Care Home and Peace Arch Hospital for their kindness and help. Also thanks to Veterans Affairs Canada, for their valuable assistance. Per Ralph’s wishes, no funeral services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC, 300 - 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1E2.

ILLEGAL DUMPING / ABANDONED WASTE

Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Surrey. Abandoned garbage is not only an eyesore but it impacts our City in many negative ways. Illegally dumped material makes neighbourhoods look ﬁlthy and unsanitary and also has serious effects on the environment, wildlife habitat and the ability of others to use and enjoy outdoor recreational areas. Let’s respect each other and dispose of waste properly. To ﬁnd disposal locations, or report illegal dumping incidents, please visit www.surrey.ca or call Surrey’s Engineering Service Request Line at 604-591-4152.

When is a Bathroom not a Bathroom…? When it’s a Powder Room! Have you ever wondered where the powder room got its’ name? Most of us would say it comes from the expression “I have to go powder my nose”. This of course was a polite excuse that most women of a generation ago used as they made their way to the small bathroom on the main ﬂoor to handle the “call of nature”. However the truth is that the powder room originated in the 18th century and was used by both men and women to re-fresh the white powder applied to their wigs. It was as small as a closet and used exclusively for this purpose. The term stuck and is used today to describe the half bathroom (sink and toilet) commonly used as a guest bathroom on the main ﬂoor of all modern homes. It is typically the smallest room in the home and Smith & Millar’s design team has seen it

grow in popularity in recent years. Smith & Millar Interior Design & Contracting Ltd. has often remodelled the powder room for their clients as a showpiece through the use of vivid colour, exquisite mirrors, chandeliers, wooden floor, interesting sinks and unique plumbing fixtures. Powder rooms can be the biggest style accessory that your home boasts. Smith & Millar believes that the addition of a powder room to a home that doesn’t have one can greatly increase the homes’ resale value. By introducing ergonomically efficient toilets powder rooms are also able to be ecologically friendly.

West Coast weather can wreak havoc on foundations and finding the source of a water leak isn’t always easy. “It’s not a light project for the weekend do-it-yourselfer to take on,” says Rob Currie, owner. “This type of job requires a professional’s knowledge and experience.” No longer just a space to store camping equipment and house your furnace, today’s basements are likely to be furnished family rooms or costly rental units.
