Postman attempts to wrest dog from vicious attack

Banished pit bull kills poodle Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The scene of the attack Monday.

An off-leash pit bull – that was previously banished from White Rock following numerous complaints in 2008 and 2009 – attacked and killed a small dog in the city Monday. “We’ve had incidents with the dog in the past,” said Paul Stanton, the city’s director of development services. “This time it killed another dog.” White Rock RCMP responded to the corner of

Marine Drive and Stevens Street around 2 p.m. A pool of blood marked the grisly scene. The attack occurred outside The Heritage, a condominium on the northwest corner. Resident Doug Fenwick told Peace Arch News his wife, Debra Ogilvie, was just getting home from a walk with 12-pound Joey, their yorkiepoodle cross, when the pit bull struck. Ogilvie screamed and kicked at the dog before running inside to call 911, Fenwick said.

Letter-carrier Roger Jendral, who saw the pit bull charge Joey and heard Ogilvie’s cry for help, said he did his best to stop the attack. The White Rock man grabbed the larger dog by its hind legs and lifted, hoping the manoeuvre would make the pit bull lose control. When it didn’t, Jendral pinned the dog, pushing on its neck with his arm to cut off its air. At that point, the pit bull released Joey for “a � see page 4

Peninsula loses football team

Rams head to Langley Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Big Kahuna Rams are packing up and leaving the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Citing inadequate facilities at South Surrey Athletic Park, the junior football team announced Monday that it will move to Langley in time for the 2011 season. The Rams have played at South Surrey Athletic Park since 2006, when they moved south from Bear Creek ❝We waited Park. A lack of a true staand waited dium in South Surrey – for something complete with bleachers, to happen in locker rooms and other amenities – hastened the Surrey, but we decision to move east to couldn’t wait Langley, where the team any longer.❞ will play at McLeod Park. Rams president Gord Gord Querin Rams president Querin said the team did all it could to stay in South Surrey, but the B.C. Football Conference, in addition to team executives, simply ran out of patience waiting for field improvements. “We waited and waited for something to happen in Surrey, but we couldn’t wait any longer,” he told Peace Arch News. “To be able to compete and recruit top players, we need a facility where we’re able to bring in a bigger gate, and where we are able to host events. That’s something the league had told us.” Chris Swartz, Rams vice-president of media, said the deal to move “had been in the works for a little while” but the team did not want to appear as though they were playing one city against another, in hopes of Surrey making a last-minute offer. � see page 4

Freezing temperatures cause for concern

Snow’s only just begun Tracy Holmes & Kevin Diakiw Staff Reporter/Black Press

The blanket of snow that coated White Rock and South Surrey late Friday sent children racing for their toboggans and city workers scrambling for salt. B.C.’s south coast awoke to the white stuff Saturday morning, after about 10 centimetres fell on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. And there’s more to come. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said temperatures are forecast to return to normal later in the week, but the West Coast can expect a significant dump of snow Thursday. “Thursday could be an interesting day here,” Jones said Monday. “These arctic outbreaks usually end in widespread snowfall.” White Rock city crews hit the streets around 11 p.m. Friday, plowing and salting the majority of roadways, and barricading the city’s hillier routes. Work continued Saturday and Sunday, when temperatures dipped to -6 C. Monday and Tuesday, ice remained the biggest concern. “We continue right now, trying to do something with the ice. That’s what worries me the most,” said Paul Slack, the city’s manager of operations. Crews spread about 60 tons of salt over the weekend, and – with two graders on standby and another four to 500 hundred tons of salt stockpiled – are “as prepared as we can get” for the harsh weather, Slack said. “We did pretty good on the hills, we really hit them pretty hard. Even though you clear them… if there’s a lot of moisture, it’ll form ice. I don’t want to take any chances.” Slack said a few motorists had difficulty navigating on the ice. Of those he helped push, he was surprised to hear some say they didn’t feel they needed winter tires. “They were actually saying to me they

didn’t need snow tires… as I was pushing them.” Jones said this winter could be as harsh as the winter of 2008-2009. NorthWest Weathernet Inc., the Seattle company Surrey hires for long-term forecasts, says the potential for arctic outbreaks is higher than expected for the second half of November. It also predicts the Lower Mainland will see some “surprise” snow events – including at sea level when precipitation gets particularly heavy. There will be at least “two major arctic outbreaks with severe cold. Potentially three,” NorthWest Weathernet says. Surrey crews are expected to hit the streets with brine solution in preparation for Thursday’s snowfall. Residents are reminded to keep their sidewalks clear of the white stuff, and salt them where possible. In White Rock, city bylaw requires residents and business owners to clear walkways adjacent to their property by 10 a.m. Slack said he had just two complaints regarding uncleared sidewalks. The bitter cold also prompted the opening of the area’s 90 extreme-weather beds, including 15 at White Rock’s First United Church. But despite the chill, less than half of the beds have been filled since Friday. Monday night, just six of White Rock’s beds were accessed. Extreme-weather beds are also available at Surrey Urban Mission (40 beds), Cloverdale Church (15) and NightShift Street Ministries (20). Anyone who knows of someone who needs shelter can call Hyland House at 604599-8900. A high of -2 C is predicted for Wednesday. Temperatures are forecast to climb back above freezing Thursday, to a high of 4 C. A highs of 8 C is expected Friday, and 6 C is forecast for both Saturday and Sunday.

Legal decision expected Thursday whether appeal has merit

Berner seeks bail to stay with her sister Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Carol Berner’s lawyer wants the convicted impaired driver to be released on bail and allowed to stay with her sister in Ladysmith while she awaits the appeal process. The 58-year-old Delta woman is expected to learn Thursday whether her appeal has merit and, if so, whether she’ll be released from jail until it is heard. Berner was sentenced Nov. 12 to 2½ years in prison for the May 2008 crash that killed four-year-old Alexa Middelaer and seriously injured Alexa’s aunt, Daphne Johansen. Friday morning in Vancouver, Berner’s lawyer, David Tarnow, told B.C. Court of Appeal Judge Carol Huddart that provincial court Judge Peder Gulbransen erred both in finding Berner guilty and in sentencing her.

Regarding her convictions, Tarnow said Gulbransen “erred in how he viewed” the issue of detention; in not finding Berner was legally detained when she was placed in the back of a police car at the crash scene. “The doors were locked. There’s no way she could get out,” Tarnow said. “The learned trial judge felt despite the fact Ms. Berner couldn’t leave, she was not detained, this was just part of the (roadside breath test prescreening) process.” Tarnow also argued Gulbransen erred: in finding destruction of Berner’s Oldsmobile before defence could have it independently inspected didn’t infringe on her right; in finding Berner guilty despite a lack of evidence of impairment; and in accepting the testimony of a witness whose evidence was based on measurements of a police witness

Gulbransen’s finding of impair“I say that (Tarnow) hasn’t disment “cannot withstand scrutiny,” charged that onus.” In his submissions, Tarnow told Tarnow added, noting several witnesses – including two paramedics – Huddart Berner’s time “residing” in Surrey Pretrial Centre has been testified they neither saw nor smelled evidence Berner was impaired. “difficult.” It included at least some “It’s very hard to imagine all of time in isolation.

$200,000 raised by North Surrey radio station’s listeners

South Asian community boosts PAH Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter

The South Asian community came out in full force last week to show support for Peace Arch Hospital’s new maternity ward, raising $200,000 for its construction. Thousands of people visited RED FM’s North Surrey headquarters – 201-8383A 128 St. – and called its phone lines from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Nov. 19 to donate to the ethnic radio station’s radio-thon, benefitting Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation’s Oh Baby campaign. “It was very exciting,” foundation executive director Jackie Smith said. “It was a community and family affair. There were people coming to the station to make their donations in person, there were little kids that were bringing in their piggy banks. “They had a couple of the kids actually on the radio and when they were asked what they had done and why they had done it, they all knew they were supporting the new maternity ward at Peace Arch Hospital.” With the first phase of the $5.3-million ward renovation complete, Phase 2 is currently

underway and is expected to open next month, resulting in eight single-family birthing rooms and almost three times the birthing capacity of the old ward. RED FM president Kulwinder Sanghera told Peace Arch News the station chose to support the project because there are expecting families in Surrey’s South Asian community who opt to deliver in White Rock. “The hospital is one of those major services around us, so we’re committed as a community to make a difference in the community,” he said, noting past radio-thons have supported BC Children’s and Surrey Memorial hospitals.

“We all are going to end up getting services from the hospital, and I don’t think any person in the world will not go to the hospital. “The hospital is a major part of our life.” The fundraiser is held around this time each year to honour the Nov. 21 birthday of Sikh spiritual leader Guru Nanak Dev Ji. “We always do it on his birthday because his philosophy was to give…,” Sanghera said. “It’s a perfect fit for our policy at the radio station.” The event saw dozens of volunteers manning phone lines, food and radio interviews with the mayors of White Rock and Surrey, maternity physicians and mothers who delivered at Peace Arch Hospital. “It was a beehive of activity from six in the morning to 10 at night,” Smith said. “The one thing that really struck me that day was how the South Asian community completely supports projects like this and raising money in this manner, and the amount of volunteers who were on hand that day.” A plaque will be put up in the ward “in recognition of their community support and in celebration of Guru Nanak and the community.”

The owner of a South Surrey animal rescue shelter and talent agency under investigation for cruelty is working to comply with orders to address concerns regarding the animals in his care. “He has complied with some of them,” BC SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever said Friday, of demands given Cinemazoo Animal Agency owner Gary Oliver. Oliver, who relocated the agency and Urban Safari Rescue Society to 1395 176 St. in August, has been under investigation since complaints were made by the public last month. Orders issued related to the number and welfare of the animals at the facility, including some caimans that recently died. Drever said investigation continues, and BC SPCA is working with Oliver to try and reduce the number of animals in his care. She was to meet with him and members of the USRS board Tuesday afternoon, after Peace Arch News deadline. - Tracy Holmes

Shelter on way Surrey is moving forward with building a large animal shelter in Cloverdale. The 17944 Colebrook Rd. shelter was before Surrey council at last week’s land-use meeting, the first public step toward building the facility. It will be located on eight acres of Agricultural Land Reserve, right next to Cloverdale’s Hyland House homeless shelter. Part of the plan will be to allow homeless people with pets to obtain shelter without leaving their furry friends. The facility will include an animal care and adoption centre, along with a classroom/ community room, boarding kennel and a livestock area. Mayor Dianne Watts said construction will begin in the spring of next year.

The pit bull grabbed on a second time, and Jendral could not stop it. “I was wrestling with it on the ground, I put my whole body weight on top. I just didn’t have enough grip,” he said. “When the dog was dead… it finally let go.” Fenwick said he and Ogilvie are grateful for Jendral’s efforts, but devastated by the attack – so much so neither could work the next day. He described nine-yearold Joey as “more than just a dog.” He and Ogilvie rescued him from a shelter eight years ago, and had anticipated a long life with him. “I was about to retire and he was going to spend the rest of his life with me, him and me together,” the longtime Surrey school district employee said.

A court order will be required if the city decides to euthanize, which Stanton said would be a last resort. “We’re going to do the best we can, in terms of the overall interests of the community.” Fenwick said he “absolutely” wants the pit bull put down. He is concerned if it’s not, that a child could be the next victim. Jendral said he never felt threatened by the pit bull. Even when he had it pinned, it never tried to bite him, he said. The incident is one he expects will come up at his next safety meeting. “We have hundreds of dog attacks every year,” he said, “Quite a few carriers are afraid of dogs, have phobias. This doesn’t help.”

� from page 1 “We didn’t think that would be fair, so when Langley came to us, we told Surrey we were moving and that was it,” Swartz said. “No matter how good the football is, you can’t expect people to pay $10 for a ticket if they’re going to be sitting on the hillside in the grass.” Contacted Monday, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg – himself a former Rams running back in the 1960s – was dismayed to hear of the departure. In recent months, Hogg has been meeting with representatives from groups – including the Rams – that use South Surrey Athletic Park, in an effort to help them capitalize on potential government grants for park improvements. “The Rams have been here a very long time. It’s very disappointing news – particularly when you’ve been a part of it,” Hogg said. Querin said he would continue to work with Hogg and other user groups in the quest to improve South Surrey Athletic Park, but added that, no matter what improvements may be made down the road, the Rams would not be returning. “No, our move is permanent. It’s unfortunate because we’ve been here a long time. But at some point we have to do what’s best for the team. It’s just business.” Also on Monday, the Rams announced that former Canadian Football League player and current high school football coach Tyson St. James will be the team’s next head coach.

business owner, was visiting a friend on Stevens Street when the attack occurred. Moments before the attack, the South Surrey resident saw an unleashed and unsupervised white dog walk by, following a male postal worker. “I got there just after it happened,” Ferguson said. “We drove down the street and there’s the postman lying on top of the pit bull right on the side of the street. The dog was covered in blood, and beside it was this little tiny dog with a leash on it, dead.” Stanton said a Staffordshire was apprehended that afternoon by bylaw officers. Given the dog’s history – a letter ordering its removal from White Rock was delivered to its owner in spring 2009 – Stanton has sought advice from the city’s solicitor on how to deal with the situation.

Panghali beaten before she was killed, court hears Manjit Panghali was viciously assaulted before she was strangled to death, a B.C. Supreme Court heard this week. The 30-year-old Surrey teacher was four months pregnant when her badly burned corpse was found beside the Deltaport Way truck route in South Delta in October 2006. Five months later, her husband, Mukhtiar, 38, was arrested for second-degree murder. The B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster heard testimony this week from pathologist Dr. Charles Lee, who said Manjit Panghali, a teacher at North Ridge Elementary, was strangled by her attacker. She had also sustained blunt force injuries to her pelvic area, perhaps by a punch or a kick, he said. Lee said Manjit was set on fire after her death. Throughout the forensic evidence about the gruesome murder of his wife, Mukhtiar Panghali – a former teacher at Princess Margaret Secondary in Surrey – showed no emotion. On the second day of his trial, the court heard that Panghali offered several versions of his and Manjit’s relationship, at one point saying they were happy and later telling investigators they fought regularly about his drinking. Investigators also say Panghali

Mukhtiar Panghali, as seen in B.C. Supreme Court last week. said his wife had rage issues, tried to commit suicide and had an affair with another man. The RCMP officer who took the initial missing person’s report on Oct. 18 said Panghali told him the last time he saw Manjit was when she left for her pre-natal yoga class. The officer testified Panghali said his wife was depressed, that they argued over money and she often left the home to stay in hotels. On Monday, prosecutor Dennis Murray told the B.C. Supreme

Court judge evidence will show Manjit used her cellphone four times on the way to a pre-natal yoga class on Oct. 16, 2006, the day she disappeared. Her husband used the phone with a different SIM card after her disappearance. Panghali also moved his wife’s car to create confusion about her whereabouts, Murray told the court. The trial is expected to continue for another three weeks. – Black Press, with files from CTV News

The BC Liberals – over and out

f your local Liberal MLA assures you the party is just fine, that the media is blowing things out of proportion, just remember two words: Social Credit. Make no mistake — the BC Liberal party, as we know it, is done. The unravelling arguably began when Premier Gordon Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen laughably insisted the 2009/2010 deficit would be $495 million. It was actually $1.8 billion, so they were only $1.3 billion off the mark. The party’s demise continued, of course, with the HST. And, today, funeral arrangements should begin following what can only be described as a ludicrous month of politics in a province that has seen more than its fair share of bizarre politics and politicians. First, Campbell spends a quarter-million dollars of your money to appear on TV and promise you a 15 per cent tax cut. Campbell then looks at dismal poll numbers after that TV appearance and announces he will step down once the party finds a new leader. Campbell and cabinet then fire Energy Minister Bill Bennett for having the temerity to offer an opinion. Campbell then says the tax cut has now been cancelled and can be resurrected by the new leader, if he or she so chooses. When your local Liberal MLA paints Bennett or former cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom as exceptions to the rule and claims the party is just fine, nod your head, perhaps offer a word of encouragement and remember two words: Social Credit. The BC Liberals are finished. There is no other conclusion. The only question is what comes next. The New Democrats are mired in their own leadership crisis, which means the 2013 election will likely see a return of the early 1990s political scene. As the Socreds died, the BC Liberals (little more than Socreds in new colours) filled the gap and the province’s two-party, left-right system continued. The same will happen as we near the 2013 election but, whether the Liberals cede the right to the BC Conservatives, BC First or some other right-of-centre party, the new entity will be nothing more than the remnants of the BC Liberal party and, by extension, those two words you will remember: Social Credit.

how he had always put it at the top of his wish list whenever Campbell asked him what cabinet role he would like. (Apparently Campbell didn’t always belittle and spit on him.) It’s worth noting Bennett’s performance as an MLA and minister. He got re-elected by a thin margin last year with the help of a racially tinged advertisement targeting his aboriginal opponent’s tax status. After being named to the energy job, he proclaimed himself a climate change “denier.” Then he waded into the Prosperity mine dispute, announcing to me that an unprecedented mine royalty sharing deal was in the works with a couple of other aboriginal groups, and a similar offer would be made publicly to the militant Tsilhqot’in National Government that claims the Prosperity site. That offer never came, so swift and vehement was the reaction by the Tsilhqot’in. Gee, do you think private talks might have been a good idea rather than letting them learn of the offer from the Williams Lake Tribune? Campbell intends to go out in the style of the real Bill Bennett. Kelowna Bill won three elections and remained premier until his successor was chosen at a convention in Whistler in 1986. When that turned out to be Bill Vander Zalm, Kelowna Bill hoisted his hand, thanked the party for its support, and served quietly as MLA for Okanagan South until his successor for that job was chosen.

Berner appeal encouraged Editor: Re: Berner disputes verdict, jail term, Nov. 17. Should anyone be surprised? Of course not, our liberal legal system grants more rights to the criminal than to the victim, or whomever is left behind. Justice in Canada is only a name. As the statue shows, it is blindfolded. The democratically elected make a small attempt to change the laws, but the left-leaning in the House and Senate will not support it. Their excuse is that prisons are overcrowded – with telephones, computers, defence lawyers. We are so grateful for the crimes that we allow appeals, Supreme Court involvement and, after all, grant parole – while the victims get life. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock ■ Reading about convicted impaired driver Carol Berner’s appeal is absolutely grotesque. Killing a little girl, or anybody, being drunk certainly qualifies for a stiffer sentence. Hope in the appeal proceedings she gets what she deserves – five to 10 years without parole. Hans Schmidt, Surrey ■ Yes, the verdict should be appealed and a more appropriate one given – five to 10 years in prison. Also, the law should be changed so that in five years she should not be allowed the possibility of taking another life. No one should be allowed to take a life and drive again for the rest of their life, Peggy Douglas, White Rock

So much for ‘emergency’ Editor: Re: There must be a better way, Nov. 10 letters. Letter-writter C. Bailey’s emergency-ward story struck a sore point with me. I agree wholeheartedly that “someone has to take actual responsibility for this mess” – a demoralizing mess, I might add. Following her doctor’s advice regarding tests for blood clots after her surgery, she was “not so politely told the wait would be four to six hours.” So much for the meaning of emergency. When arriving at the reception area, it becomes clear the barricade erected between you and hospital staff is very high indeed. Evidently “people-friendly” is not a word in the hospital’s vocabulary. Hello, how do I catch someone’s eye? A few years back I found myself in Bailey’s predicament. I had fallen down cement stairs in the dark and somehow managed to pick myself up and get to the hospital. It later turned out that a bone was fractured in my ankle, three

bones fractured in my hand, knees dislocated and swollen like balloons. My face hit the stair and knocked me unconscious, and I lost two teeth in the process. So now here I am, standing behind that barrier, the desk, trying to explain what had happened to a person whom I obviously had mistaken for someone who cared. I was told to go and sit down. As the shock was starting to wear thin, I realized I could not move and had to ask for a wheelchair. During the seven hours I sat unsupported in a canvas chair, no one treated me for shock or checked me for concussion, neck fracture or even brought me ice for my knees and increasingly swelling hand and the finger that was dangling off the end of it. Yes, after healing somewhat I did speak with the head of the department about the problem. Doesn’t look like it did much good – other than there is now a ‘cutter’ to remove rings from broken fingers. To be fair, the problems within health care are enormous. But still, there must be a better way. L. King, White Rock

A sense of community Editor: This is a big thank you to all those who assisted my husband when he collapsed at the South Surrey swimming pool on Sunday, Nov. 14. The life guards were so quick to come to his rescue when they were called, and thank you to the gentleman who went for help. The paramedics arrived quickly and gave him such good care. To the “angel” lady who just appeared and gave me support and took me under her wing when I needed her so much, I don’t think I thanked you, so I hope you see this, for I will remember you forever. If you see me at the pool, please come to me so I can thank you in person. You will never know how much I appreciated your support. It is wonderful to live in White Rock and know you are amongst people who care. Lenny Moore, White Rock ■

I would like to take this opportunity to thank two Good Samaritans – Renee and Gerry – who stopped and helped my friend, Louise, and I on Friday night at 10.30 p.m., during our first big snowstorm of the season. We were on our way home after a concert at the White Rock Baptist Church. We were in traffic when the car’s defrosting mechanism was not functioning properly. We got as far as 136 Street and 16 Avenue when we decided it was unsafe to continue. Renee was the first to stop and offer her help, even though she had children in the car whom she was driving home. Then Gerry stopped. He had just finished his shift as a bus driver and was on his way home. Between both, they got us home and my car into the garage. We would not have been able to do it on our own, and Louise and I would like them to know how much we appreciated their help. It is comforting to know that we have people like them in our community, who are willing to give of their time to help their neighbour. Betty Beck, Surrey

The option over full-body scanners is even more intrusive in the United States, says letter-writer David Metvedt.

Custom wouldn’t bear repeating Editor: If you’ve flown lately, you’ve probably noticed or have had to go through one of the new backscatter X-ray machines deployed in airports across Canada. These new machines take and save a naked picture of your body, all the while bathing you in radiation. Thankfully, those of us not wanting to subject ourselves to a digital strip have had a choice to opt out of having an agent see through our clothes and instead have them perform a manual pat down. As of this month, the rules and pat down procedures have gotten a lot stricter. In the U.S., it is now the policy of Transportation Security Administration agents to perform what they call an enhanced pat down. This new procedure involves the touching of genitalia and the groping of other body parts, like the buttocks. Some travellers have reported agents sticking their hands down their pants, while others have documented incidents of them having to be required to take their clothes off in public. Unfortunately it is only a matter of time before TSA policies spread north of the border. Officials with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada have already hinted they will be forced to adopt the new policies. It is imperative that we take a stand against what amounts to sexual assault and demand we have the right to fly with dignity. David Metvedt, White Rock

Higher standard needed here

The recent arrival in Vancouver of a young Chinese male, disguised as an elderly Caucasian male, makes Canada’s border protection, immigration and refugee policies an absolute laughing stock. Thousands arrive by sea, air and land every year with the sinister intent to deceive and exploit Canada. Canadians should be appalled by the weak-kneed and spineless policies of our government to allow these costly deceptions to be an accepted practice. Several years ago, my daughter produced her Canadian passport and other documentation to travel authorities in Vancouver and received travel approval to Cuba. On arrival in Cuba, astute authorities noted my daughter’s passport had expired just days earlier. She was astounded by this revelation. Nevertheless, despite the fact she had no sinister intent to gain access to Cuba under false pretences, she was detained for several hours until she could be placed on a return flight to Canada. So, what is the matter with that? Absolutely nothing. She arrived with inappropriate documentation and was refused entry – full stop. Why is it that Canada can not, or refuses to, adopt such a policy? To be proudly Canadian is one thing. To adopt policies and procedures that don’t even match the standards of Cuba is quite another matter. L.N. Giles, Surrey

VICTORIA – Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwill is in. A specialist in nuclear medicine before being recruited to run for the BC Liberal Party last year, Stilwell became the first official contender in the race to replace Premier Gordon Campbell. She announced her intentions on CKNW radio Monday morning. As of press time Tuesday, Stilwell was the only candidate to formally declare an intention to run. Potential leadership contender Kevin Falcon (Surrey-Cloverdale) told Peace Arch News Thursday he is going away with his wife and daughter to take time to make a thoughtful and considered decision whether to run for his party’s leadership, but for now would not comment further. Stilwell said she supports the harmonized sales tax, and did her own research into it when it was presented to her as a rookie MLA and cabinet minister after the 2009 election. But she said if she wins the party vote to succeed Campbell on Feb. 26, her first act will be to ask Elections BC to move up the date of the referendum on the

I will campaign for it.” Stilwell was recruited by Campbell to run in the seat vacated by former finance minister Carole Taylor, and was immediately appointed to the cabinet as minister of advanced education. Stilwell described Campbell as a “mentor to me, who saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.” She rejected suggestions by fired energy minister Bill Bennett last week that Campbell is a bully, saying she never experienced nor

Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom announced Monday morning that he has decided not to seek the leadership. Lekstrom had been considering his candidacy after resigning as energy minister in June over the imposition of the HST. Lekstrom said the tax is good economic policy, but it has been rejected by the public and it should be repealed and reconsidered. “Presently, I am able to serve the people of Peace River South in the legislative assembly, which is a job I love and am honoured to do and at the same time maintain a quality of life with my family and friends that is second to none,” Lekstrom said in a statement.

Jayme Hall, 12, draws with her brothers David (left) and Braedon just six weeks after suffering a stroke. At the time, doctors told Jayme’s parents their daughter would likely not survive, and if she did, she would face years of rehabilitation.

Just months after suffering a near-fatal stroke, 12-year-old Jayme Hall is back at school and on the mend

‘Miracle child’ making strong recovery Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

enny Hall knew something was wrong that September day when she saw her daughter Jayme clutching her chest and crying as the girl rounded a corner about halfway into her crosscountry race. Jayme, 12, doesn’t cry easy, her mom said. “I knew something was up.” By nightfall, the Grade 7 student was slurring her words, couldn’t walk straight and couldn’t remember anything her mom was saying to her. But despite the girl’s struggles, tests conducted at Peace Arch Hospital – urine, blood and neurological – identified no obvious cause, and doctors sent Jayme and her family home with a suggestion they follow-up with their physician the next day. What they woke to sent them racing for BC Children’s Hospital: Jayme had all but lost her ability to walk and talk. Sent to the critical care unit, doctors broke the news, none of it good: Jayme had had a stroke, she needed surgery and there was a good chance she would not survive.

“We could tell by the looks on the faces of the doctors and nurses around Jayme at Children’s that it wasn’t good,” Hall said. “It was very scary. We owe them everything.” ••• Perched in the living room of her family’s White Rock home, Jayme counts off the weeks she’s been back at Laronde Elementary on her fingers, a big smile on her face as she notes she’s not the only one who’s kept track. “This will be my third week,” she says, just six weeks after that lifechanging day. “My friends have counted, too.” Sharing some of the limitations she now has – among them, that she can’t play soccer due to the risk of injury, and was only cleared this week to raise her right arm more than 90 degrees – Jayme admits she “kind of ” missed school during her time in hospital. On the upside, that time in care was significantly shorter than doctors had predicted. “She was supposed to be in rehabilitation for years, not coming home for months – if she survived it,” Hall said. The stroke that nearly killed Jayme

was caused by one of two extra ribs the girl was born with. Tucked under her collar bone, the one on Jayme’s right side was pinching an artery, restricting blood flow and causing clots to form. One of those clots, in the main artery feeding her brain stem, caused the stroke. It took five hours of surgery to clear the clot – two hours longer than expected, and the longest five hours of Hall and her husband’s life.

Doctors continue to monitor Jayme’s health, and while further surgery is not required now, it may be in the future. And while life has changed for Jayme – she will likely be on blood thinners for the rest of her life, and has to stay away from the physical activity she so loves for a while – the Halls know it is a small price to pay for the gift of still having their daughter. They have been heartened by the outpouring of support from the community in their time of need; neighbours, Jayme’s classmates, her soccer team and the Girl Guide community all came together. “Until you’re in this situation, you don’t really realize how amazing this community is,” Hall said. “You definitely need the support.” Jayme and her mom are in their eighth year with Girl Guides. Jayme – the oldest of three children in the Hall family – has reached the rank of Pathfinder; her mom, after seven years as a leader, is a district commissioner. When Jayme got sick, Hall’s role was quickly filled so she could tend to her daughter, troopmates visited Jayme regularly and fellow Guides were among many who

helped ensure the family didn’t have to worry about meals. Every night for a month, a heated meal was delivered to their door. Every day, on return from the hospital, they would find food on their doorstep. Fellow Guider Susan Richards de Wit said the concerted effort was heartwarming. “The Guiders all pulled together,” she said. “It’s quite a network. It’s been kind of impressive watching everybody pull together for this family.” In addition to everything else, one of Jayme’s classmates created an online schedule to ensure the hospital visiting time wasn’t overloaded; it soon evolved to include a meal schedule. Hall doesn’t know why Jayme beat the odds. Doctors described her as a “miracle child,” she said. Hall describes her as “brave.” And while she does know the cause has been addressed, Hall can’t help but worry just a little on days when Jayme isn’t feeling well. “Whenever she says she has a headache we panic, but that’s normal,” Hall said. “We’re getting better.”

Train the Trainer raising money for community foundation

Personal trainers at clients’ mercy for annual fundraiser Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

Clients at Innovative Fitness will get a chance to get some good-natured revenge on their personal trainers this week, when the South Surrey fitness club hosts its annual Train the Trainer event. The event is set for Friday, Nov. 26, from 6-8 p.m. For a donation – $50 for every five minutes of “training” – clients can subject Innovative Fitness trainers to, well, just about anything.

Annual pottery sale returns

local flavours

ottery wheels are in motion for the annual Christmas Pottery Sale coming to Ocean Park Hall, 15 A 128 St., this weekend. Festive ornaments, Kristyl Clark decorative pieces and jewelry are just a few of the clay creations, hot off the kiln, that one will find inside. For members of the Semiahmoo Pottery Club – a non-profit group that fosters and encourages the development of the art of pottery – the sale is an opportunity to showcase their artistic handiwork as well as promote the club to the community. Teresa Hotell, a longtime member of the SPC, began her journey behind the wheel back in 1997 when she got her hands on a cold, unformed lump of clay. Having always had a passion for anything artistic, it was love at first spin. “I really enjoyed taking a piece of clay and making it into something that looks beautiful – I’m always so delighted when I put my work in a kiln and it comes out finished. It’s a great feeling.” Shortly after joining the club, Hotell was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. She found she was unable to work for very long at the studio, which was located in White Rock Elementary. Rather than lose her newly acquired pottery skills, she decided to start hand-building pottery at home, which has proved to be her forte. “With hand-building, you can really make whatever shape you want – there’s no limits to what you can do with it,” said Hotell. “All you need is a rolling pin to roll out the clay.”

local flavours

Hotell also decided she’d need a kiln – one that was large enough to contain her garden pottery – but when it was delivered to her home, she realized it was much bigger than she had bargained for. “I had to use a step ladder to put stuff in the kiln and one time actually fell right in the middle,” she laughed. “Now I leave it to my husband (Alan) to help me fill it.” This weekend, Hotell looks forward to showing all of her hard work to the community as well as checking out what her fellow potters have been up to. “Over the years, the developed skills of our potters and the pottery itself gets better and better. I love seeing everybody’s work and the progress that people make year after year. It always amazes me.” The Christmas Pottery Sale runs Nov. 27 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday, Nov. 28 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Hotell share’s her mother’s recipe for scottish shortbread – a traditional festive treat she learned to make while growing up in Glasgow.

Scottish shortbread Ingredients:

2.5 cups flour (not too fine) 10 tbsp. regular sugar 1 cup butter

Instructions:

Beat sugar and butter until fluffy. Gradually add flour – it will be fairly dry. Gather together and pat into 8 inch / 20 cm metal rounds or make your own rounds. Mark edges with a fork, prick all over and score into triangles. Leave room between rounds. Bake at 325º F / 165º C for 30 to 35 min. or until golden.

Sending a clear message As the B.C. Lung Association’s Christmas Seal campaign approaches its midway point, the White Rock Lung Association director is asking the public to help stamp out lung disease. “Our target for the 2010 campaign is $1 million,” Anne Galligan said in a news release. “The Christmas Seal campaign is our biggest fundraising campaign of the year, and we’re urging people to give as much as they can to help us maintain the important lung health research and community education programs we deliver all year round.” For more than a century, Canadians have been using the holiday-themed seals on their mail to raise awareness and funds for lung disease. This year’s campaign began mid-October and runs through January 2011. About one million households across the province have received their Christmas Seals. Proceeds benefit medical research into

the treatment and prevention of lung disease; programs and services across B.C. and for those with lung disease; and helping children choose a smoke-free lifestyle. According to the B.C. Lung Association, the number of British Columbians struggling with lung disease – including asthma, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – continues to grow. To donate, call 1-800-665-5864 toll free or visit bc.lung.ca

Life sentence for ‘thug’ Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A Surrey man has been sentenced to life in jail after a fatal shooting almost three years ago. Raminder Singh Bhander, 34, was given a life sentence for the slaying of 24-year-old Tejvir Singh (Sunny) Bains. In January 2008, police were dispatched to the 12500 block of 72 Avenue after reports of gunshots. Bains was found dead inside a residence. Bhander was arrested a month later, and charged with second-degree murder. The sentence on Friday means Bhander will have no chance of parole for 10 years.

Cpl. Dale Carr, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), is extremely pleased with the verdict. “IHIT worked really quite quickly on this one, we had him in custody within a month, everything fell into place for us,” Carr said Friday. “What today’s sentence does, it really brings Mr. Bhander’s reign of terror in the community to a conclusion for a minimum of 10 years.” By his own admission in court, Bhander was quite engaged in the criminal lifestyle, Carr said. “He was certainly a thug, who liked to beat on people and settle disputes as he did with this one,” Carr said. “Not a guy we want in the neighbourhood.”

Surrey councillor Gill sued Surrey Coun. Tom Gill is being sued for comments made to Black Press two months ago. Last Wednesday, Harjit Atwal filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster alleging he has been defamed. The suit surrounds statements made by Gill regarding his mother-in-law’s brother, Maninder Gill, who faces charges in connection with the shooting of Atwal at the Guru Nanak Sikh

Temple on Aug. 28. Atwal’s statment of claim says that Tom Gill said things that were untrue, or were spoken with wanton or reckless disregard for the truth. Black Press contacted Tom Gill for comment, because of the family relationship, and the Surrey Leader ran a story on Sept. 22. The Peace Arch News also published a version of the story. – Black Press

Sweet escape I

f the recent drop in temperature and appearance of snowflakes are any indication of what’s in store for the next few months, it’s going to be a long winter ahead. For many Peninsula seniors, now is the perfect time to pack a suitcase and make an escape for somewhere warm and sunny, where blizzards and parkas are a distinct memory. Whether you’re looking for a week away in sunny Hawaii or you’re planning to escape for the entire winter on a relaxing “staycation,” there are plenty of travel experts on the Peninsula who can help ensure your travels are wellplanned and enjoyable. Perhaps one of the most popular modes of travel for seniors is cruising – and it’s easy to see why. These floating resorts offer all the luxuries you can find at any highclass hotel, with the added bonus of fresh sea air, plenty of sunshine and an ever-changing seascape. If you’re not content to just relax, many cruise ships offer exercise classes and dancing, plus plenty of on-board entertainment to keep you busy in between ports. According to Nicky Armstrong of Cruise Holidays, one of the most popular cruises among seniors is a 16-day Hawaii venture, offered by Holland America. This trip departs from

Downsize to a smaller space without stress Tips to simplify the process without losing your mind or cherished possessions in the process When a person comes to a certain age and the children move out and on with their own lives, a home may become too big for its occupants. At this point, residents may feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to downsize to a smaller home. Downsizing can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Going through and packing belongings can be a trip down memory lane. But chances are a smaller space will mean that a person will have to part with a number of his belongings collected over time. To make the process easier, first assess

how much space there will be in the new home. Many times floor plans or room dimensions are available. First measure large items, such as furniture, to be sure it will fit in the rooms. Then think about storage possibilities. Next, make a running list of what items can be discarded and where those items will go. Some belongings can be donated to charity, while others may be given to family and friends. Many other things could end up in the trash or recycling bins. Knowing where things will go will make them easier to sort.

For those doing a major clean-out of the home, it could be efficient to hire a dumpster to be placed on-site. This way, larger bulk items can simply be tossed inside. Some municipalities restrict what can be placed in the regular trash or how much garbage can be collected, so this alleviates the stress of dealing with excess trash. When actually beginning to get rid of things, start with the areas that receive the least amount of use. Belongings stored in the attic or basement may be simply taking up space and hold less

sentimental value. People can then work their way toward items that are used on a regular basis. Duplicates of things can be donated. It can be cathartic to clear out clutter and get ready to start anew. Some people find they have to downsize because of financial reasons. In these cases, thinning out belongings can also be a way to earn a few extra bucks. Selling or auctioning off seldom-used items may produce a little extra cash that can help finance moving expenses or even bills.

Making the move to independent retirement living When searching for a retirement community, retirees often place an emphasis on fun. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly understandable, as retirees have worked their entire lives and earned the right to relax and enjoy themselves however they may choose. But the right retirement fit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely about fun. In fact, retirees typically look for a place that combines fun with a number of other factors: â&#x20AC;˘ Health services. While those about to

retire might enjoy excellent health, it is important to find a community that can cater to existing and future healthcare needs. This means finding a place that offers a variety of competent physicians from primary care to specialists. Typically, when adequate doctors are present, local hospitals or medical centres have located and expanded in thecommunity. â&#x20AC;˘ Accessibility. When choosing a retirement community, most retirees are inter-

ested in whether the chosen city is accessible to family and friends. Oftentimes, this means within close proximity to a major city and an airport. When searching for your ideal location, look for one that offers the peace and quiet of a small to medium town but the accoutrements of city life as well. The closer a retirement community is to a major city and airport, the more frequent the visits from children and grandchildren are likely to be.

â&#x20AC;˘ Culture/Entertainment. Most retirees find that retirement life takes an adjustment. In fact, after a lifetime spent working, retirees might find retirement a bit boring. But retirement doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be boring and retirement communities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be sleepy. â&#x20AC;˘ The Great Outdoors. After a life spent working, indoors or outdoors, many retirees look for a community that allows them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;play outdoors.â&#x20AC;?

Lose weight after 50 Few people relish the steps needed to drop a few pounds. But losing weight when you are younger may be easier than it is for those 50 and older. That’s because metabolic changes and habits may interfere with weight loss. As we age the body goes through different changes. For many, metabolism might just slow down. That means whatever is eaten could take longer to be digested and burned off. However, metabolism isn’t directly linked to age It has to do more with muscle mass. It is well known that muscle burns fat. The more muscle a person has, generally the less fat there is and whatever fat is present is burned more quickly. As one ages, muscle mass may decrease. This contributes to metabolism changes, often resulting in more fat. There are different types of fat that can affect one’s health. Visceral fat: This is the most dangerous fat that surrounds the internal organs. It can be hard to get rid of this fat without healthy eating and exercise. Subcutaneous fat: This fat is directly underneath the skin. Although it can be unsightly and cause a person to be selfconscious, it isn’t as dangerous medically and is the easier fat to remove with diet and exercise. To help ensure health and promote greater weight loss, here are some tips to employ.

Walking is a simple activity that can help you lose extra weight and reduce stress.

• Get walking: Walking is a low-impact cardiovascular exercise that is beneficial to most people. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, walking can help to reduce stress. • Eat smaller portions: As we age we may simply need less food to fill us up. Try scaling back on portions. • Do toning exercises: Muscle strengthening exercises can keep muscles strong, which can promote overall strength and better posture. It can also help to keep bones and joints aligned to reduce injury. • Make gradual changes: Sudden changes could be jarring to the body. Plus, they’re harder to accept than gradual changes. A little change here and there is most effective.

Helping local seniors cope with loneliness Community Visitors Program connects volunteers with elderly in need of companionship Isolation and loss of social interaction due to poor health, lack of transportation or other issues are contributing factors to depression and self-neglect. The Community Visitors Program, offered by Sources in White Rock, works to bring volunteers into the homes of lonely, isolated seniors to enhance the quality of their lives through friendly visits and introduction to other community supports. Visitors are individuals from all walks of ❝What about life who are orientated all of the people who in providing social and don’t have emotional that kind of support and leadership support?❞ as well as Gaynor Jordan Community Visitor knowing the existing programs and services available to more disadvantaged and vulnerable seniors in the community. Whether it’s reading, playing cards, going for walks, or just talking, having a friendly visitor can make a world of difference for a lonely senior who is unable to get out of his or her house to maintain social contact with others. Gaynor Jordan, 58, decided to become a Community Visitor last year when her sister, who lives back east, became sick with a serious infection. Unlike the countless seniors in the community who are isolated from friends and family,

White Rock senior Evelyn Nesplak (left) gets a visit from Community Visitor Gaynor Jordan. Jordan’s sister was one of the lucky ones. “She was in intensive care and then bed-bound for months, but kept raving about how wonderful her kids had been at bringing her this and that. I was really glad she had that help, but thought, ‘oh goodness, what about all of the people who don’t have that kind of support?’”

The retired drug and alcohol counsellor would soon find out. After making a call to Sources, a community-based non-profit agency operated by Peace Arch Community Services Society, Jordan was connected to the Friendly Visitors Program and her new friend who she’d be spending a couple of hours a week with, Evelyn Nesplak. While Jordan admits the first

visit was a little awkward, the two were quick to become friends. “It’s great, we see each other every week and have a lot of laughs,” she said. “Evelyn is very limited in where we can go and what we can do, so mostly we just yak – talk about her past and things that she is thinking about now.” When Nesplak, 72, fell inside

her home a few years ago and was stuck overnight until her son discovered her the next day, she became fearful of walking or leaving her White Rock condo. Having a weekly visit from Jordan has given her the confidence to venture out on occasion and a confidant she can share her worries and concerns with. “I really enjoy her company as I don’t get to talk to very many people these days,” said Nesplak. “I get very lonesome sometimes. My kids are busy with their lives and their own kids so it’s nice to have someone to talk to. I just wish it was every day, instead of once a week.” While Jordan doesn’t suffer from loneliness, she recognizes that the tables can turn on anyone at any given time. “We all may be there one day so it’s always good to give what you have when you’ve got it,” she said also encouraging anyone who has the time to give it a try. “Just go out and try it, what have you got to lose? Everybody has a story – it’s really wonderful to share your stories with each other. It reminds me every day how blessed I am.” For more information about the Community Visitor Program, contact Sources Volunteer Services at 604-542-4357. A minimum of two hours a week for six months is required to be a volunteer.

TransLink fares falling short Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transit riders aren’t paying as much as TransLink banked on this year. A new financial report shows the average fare paid per rider declined last year and has held steady so far in 2010 despite the 10 per cent fare increase that took effect in April. One theory is fare evasion is on the rise – possibly due to the tough financial times over the past 18 months. And it might not be passengers blatantly boarding without paying, but more who are paying for one zone when they’re riding through two or more. A Fare Revenue Task Force

has been struck to investigate, and TransLink meanwhile has stepped up fare checks and enforcement on the buses and SkyTrain. More passengers also bought prepaid FareSaver tickets in advance of the April fare hike, another factor that brought down the average. TransLink expects to collect $430 million in total from the farebox this year or about 37 per cent of its total revenue, according to the second quarter financial report. It plans to spend $836 million on transit service this year. TransLink is succeeding in pulling more cash out of motorists. It’s on track to collect $322 million in gas tax this year, about

$57 million more than last year thanks to the three-cent-perlitre tax hike for TransLink that kicked in last January. This will be the first year more has been raised from fuel tax than property taxes, which add $289 million. SkyTrain passenger injuries are also up – to 51 so far this year – mainly due to passengers falling on stairs or escalators. TransLink also intends to begin rolling out adjustments to bus routes as part of a drive to rationalize service and extract more revenue, by reallocating buses from under-used runs to ones where demand is expected to be higher. Those changes start in December.

centrate on punishing those who actually exceed 0.08. Police can still issue 24-hour suspensions while the recall is underway – as they did in the past – and can do so based on their own observation of erratic driving without a roadside breathalyzer. Drivers who want to contest the suspension can give a formal breath test at a police station to beat it, but risk being charged with impaired driving if the test shows them above 0.08. The hand-held breathalyzers are to be back in service for the Dec. 1 start of the Christmas CounterAttack campaign. For those who still blow too high after the breathlyzers are recalibrated, the harsher penalties will remain unchanged. Besides losing their licence and car for three to 30 days, motorists face costs of up to $4,000 to get back on the road. Three impoundments within five years now forces a driver to take a responsible driving course and use an ignition interlock device for a year after their ban is lifted. Solicitor General Rich Coleman recently said the public overreacted to the new penalties and hinted adjustments might come. The minister has not yet responded to Black Press requests for comment.

Two years later and still no sign of Kwantlen student Jeff Nagel Black Press

Sahil Sharma missing

It’s been two years and police are no closer to uncovering why a promising young international student seemingly vanished into thin air in Newton. Sahil Sharma, 20, came here from India to study information technology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His tuition was already paid and he’d settled in with extended family in Newton.

He was soon getting good grades and making new friends. But on Nov. 13, 2008, Sharma finished classes and left the Kwantlen campus but never made it home. His mother and father flew here from India to search for their missing first-born son. They spent a month putting posters up and talking to anyone who they thought could help.

There was no sign of trouble or depression – or of alcohol or drug addiction that is often linked to the more than 2,000 missing persons reported to Surrey RCMP each year. The family fears he became the victim of foul play. Nobody has tried to access Sahil’s bank accounts. “It’s a head-scratcher,” said Surrey RCMP spokesman Curtis Harling. At the family’s request, they’ve

approached U.S. satellite imaging firms for any images recorded that day. They’ve even contacted agencies that compile reports of UFOs in case his disappearance coincided with some abnormal phenomenon. “After his classes, no one saw him again,” Harling said. “He kind of disappeared off the face of the Earth.” Interpol has been contacted and police have questioned

family and friends back in India. There are no concrete leads, but police hope someone still out there with information could shed light on the case. Sahil Sharma is described as 5’6”, 144 lbs with black hair, brown eyes and a slight beard. Anyone who might be able to assist the investigation is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604 599-0502 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

“At a time when we should be united, we’re fighting amongst ourselves,” James said. “British Columbians are shaking their heads. They’re wondering what’s wrong with B.C. politics, and I have to say, they’re wondering right now whether the New Democrats have

VICTORIA – Standing ovations and an 84 per cent vote backing leader Carole James at Saturday’s NDP provincial council meeting couldn’t hide the fact that a major rift has opened among the party’s current MLAs. Delegates at the meeting at a Victoria hotel sported yellow scarves and buttons to show their support for James. Of the MLAs in attendance, about a dozen made a point of not wearing a scarf or joining in the ovations for James’ speech that opened the weekend meeting. Delegates voted Saturday on a series of resolutions calling for the party to hold a leadership convention to force James to compete to keep her job. With MLAs not entitled to vote, delegates voted 97 to 18 to reject that idea. Earlier in the week, James attended a Surrey Board of Trade luncheon as guest speaker. While she didn’t address the leadership issue in Thursday’s speech, afterwards she answered reporters’ questions about infighting in the Liberal party, saying it is more evidence of a crumbling government. James said it doesn’t matter to her who the BC Liberals pick to be premier at their convention in February. “A BC Liberal is a BC Liberal is a BC Liberal,” James said. “Every person they put up, whether they change the face or not, is still going to have to answer the questions around the BC Rail corruption trial, around the highest child-poverty rate, the highest cost of living, around the

lowest minimum wage – those questions will be waiting regardless of who they put in place.” James said she’s ready to fight an election, whether it’s next year, as many believe, or on the fixed date in 2013. James made the comments just after addressing about 120

Macdonald had previously resigned as caucus chair, citing a lack of

consultation with MLAs before expelling Simpson.

Snow White

Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s 25th annual Christmas pantomime, Snow White and the Vertically Challenged Excavators, runs on Surrey Arts Centre’s main stage (13750 88 Ave.) Nov. 24 to Dec. 5. Directed by club stalwart Robert Newcombe and produced by Reginald Pillay – with a creative team that includes choreographer Carol Seitz, musical director Dann Wilhelm, and wardrobe mistresses Mari-Anne Hussen, Linda O’Donovan and Chris Roberts – it’s a show that promises to emphasize comedy and give suitable employment to a group of familiar faces, including some players well-known on the Peninsula. In addition to Sophie Leroux as Snow White and Amanda Assalone as Prince Charming, the cast includes Norma Rushton as the Wicked Queen, Mike Balser as Dame Miss Heard, Tammy Theis as Yin, Lauren Kyle as Yang, James Walker as the Colonel, Melanie Minty as The Magic Mirror, Paul Rowell as the Gremlin, Justine Ankiewicz as Brown Owl and Rafiki, Joel Hendershott as the King and Nutbush, Megan Kroaker as Hansel and Keira Jang as Gretel, Clive Ramroop as excavator Snoozer and Prince Suavo, and Jeff Christensen as Prince Olgit and excavator Socoy. Playing the rest of the ‘vertically challenged excavators’ are Rosemary Forst as Snappy, Sam Andrews as Derwat, Maddy Osborne-Wood as Tishoo, Casey Simpson Joynt as Geepee, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman as Gleeful.

Single point for Eagles Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

It was defence-first last weekend for the normally high-scoring Surrey Eagles, who earned just a single point out of a possible four during a two-game homestand against a pair of the B.C. Hockey League’s top squads. On Friday, the Eagles rode new goaltender Karel St. Laurent to a 1-1 tie with the firstplace Powell River Kings, and Sunday afternoon dropped a 2-1 contest to the defending Royal Bank Cup champion Vernon Vipers. “They were both great games, both extremely tight. They could’ve went either way, and it’s disappointing that we only got the one point, but I was happy with how we played,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart. St. Laurent was named first star in Friday’s tie after stopping 39 of 40 Powell River shots. The 20-year-old Quebec native was nearly as good Sunday, making 33 saves in the loss. “He’s played great for us ever since he got here,” said Erhart. “He approaches the game with such professionalism. I can’t say enough good things about him.” Defenceman Riley Sweeney scored for Surrey Friday, with his second-period powerplay marker coming just three minutes after Kings’ Justin Dasilva gave the visiting squad a 1-0 lead. On Sunday, Daniel Gentzler was the only Eagle to bulge the twine behind Vernon netminder Blake Voth. Gentzler’s goal, his seventh of the season, came on the power-play during the third period. The lack of offence for Surrey – which, as a team, has scored more goals than all but the Langley Chiefs and Trail Smoke Eaters – was simply a result of playing two strong defensive teams, said Erhart, and not so much a result of the team losing second-leading scorer Richard Vanderhoek to the WHL’s Vancouver Giants (see story, page 41).

Brian Giebelhaus photo

The puck – like the game itself, which the Eagles lost 2-1 – was just out of the reach of Daniel Gentzler’s stick Sunday against Vernon. Without Vanderhoek on the top line alongside new assistant captain Brad McGowan – who took the ‘A’ over from Vanderhoek – and Jeff Vanderlugt, the Erhart was forced to shuffled the deck. On the weekend, the Eagles’ first line was

McGowan playing with Gentzler and captain Tyler Morley. “We have guys who can step up,” Erhart said. “I told the guys that (Vanderhoek) leaving is an opportunity for somebody else to step up and take on his role.”

Eagles notes

Vinny Lessard finally has a new home. \ The 20-year-old netminder, who lost his spot on the Eagles when the team acquired St. Laurent, joined the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Wellington Dukes last week.

Surrey Eagles sniper leaves to join Giants Gary Ahuja Black Press

Richard Vanderhoek is leaving the nest. The Surrey Eagles’ sniper — he was second on the team with 16 goals and 27 assists in 25 games — has joined the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. Vanderhoek was fifth in league scoring prior to departing Surrey last week. Vanderhoek said it was a tough decision to leave his teammates, but in the end, he had to do what was right for himself. “If I want to go anywhere (in hockey) this was a step up for my career,” he said. “It was tough to leave; Surrey is a good team and this is a good group of guys. “But it was something

File photo

Former Surrey Eagle Richard Vanderhoek has joined the Vancouver Giants. I had to do and they were OK.” The 19-year-old from Langley was originally a 2006 sixth round bantam draft pick of the Kamloops Blazers,

but has spent the past three seasons in the BCHL with the Eagles. He did play six games with the Blazers in the 2007-08 season as a 16-year-old.

“We are excited to bring in a veteran player like Richard,” said Giants executive vice-president and general manager Scott Bonner in a press

release announcing the signing. “He has put up some impressive offensive numbers this season with Surrey and now we are hoping he can do the same for our team.” Vanderhoek was fourth on the Eagles in scoring last season, with 22 goals and 25 assists in 54 games. This year, he was on pace for 103 points. Considering Vanderhoek had previous WHL experience with the Kamloops Blazers and therefore did not have NCAA eligibility – Surrey Eagles coach Matt Erhart was not surprised to see Vanderhoek make the move. “We knew it was a possibility, especially with the year he’s had, and the Giants were

very open and up-front about (wanting to acquire him),” he said. “He was a key player for us, so it’ll be a bit of an adjustment (playing without him), but it’s part of hockey, and we certainly wish Richard the best.” Vanderhoek made his Vancouver debut last

Friday, when the Giants took on the Regina Pats. The Giants have won five straight B.C. Division titles and been to two Memorial Cups in that span. They won the Cup in 2007. - with files from Nick Greenizan

Experience will help Totems at provincials THE INCOME � from page 39 Heights in semifinal action to advance to the title game. Semi’s Jake Klassen was named the tournament’s most valuable player, while both Liam Murphy-Burke and Matt Bonshor were named to the all-star team. Keenan McMullin and Ryan Thain were both named to the all-star team for EMS. The Totems have gotten the best of Earl Marriott four times this season – twice in league play, once in a tournament, and then in last Saturday’s final. And they may well square off again, in the provincial finals. “We’re the top two (seeds), so people are expecting that we’ll both be there. We’re

both supposed to be,” Iannone said. “It’s such a huge rivalry.” Iannone was also quick to credit the legions of Totem alumni – parents and

former players alike – which have supported the team all year, including last weekend. “We just have a huge following of support – it’s pretty amazing,” she said. “No other team has that, and it’s pretty special.” The Totems will certainly have an edge in experience at provincials, which are slated for Kelowna next week. All three Semi captains – Bonshor, Klassen and Murphy-Burke – were starters as Grade 10s on the Totems’ provincial-title winning team of 2008. “They have more experience than most, for sure. They’re ready, and they know what’s needed (to win).”

Members of the Pacific Sea Wolves continued their impressive run of success in the pool earlier this month, scooping medals of every colour at the Hyack Fall into Finals competition in Coquitlam. Leading the way for PSW was Katie Caldwell in the senior girls division; she finished the event with gold medals in the 200-m breaststroke and 200 backstroke, silver in the 100 back and bronze in four freestyle distances – the 50, 100, 200 and the 400. Lydia Doyon, swimming in the 11/12-year-old girls division, won gold in the 50 and 400 free, and took silver in the 100 and 200 freestyle swims. Esmee Smit-Anseeuw, competing in the 11/12 girls division, also spent plenty of time on the podium, with gold medals in the 200 butterfly and 200 breast, silver in the 100 breast and bronze in the 200 free. In the same division, PSW’s Trista Tetreault won four bronze medals – in the 50, 100 and 400 free, as well as the 200 back. In the girls 13/14 division, Ariana Aktary finished with bronze in the 100 back, Jill Xu was third in 100 and 200 free, and Vanessa Rivas was third in the 200 breast; Olivvya Chow also scooped bronze, in the senior girls 200 breast race. Rivas’ performance was enough to qualify her for the Western Canadian Qualifiers, which are slated for February 2011. She joins fellow PSW swimmers SmitAnseeuw, Chow, Caldwell, Isabella Koch, Thomas Rae and Edwin Zhao. In the boys 13/14 class, Zhao was first in the 200 free, and second in 400 free, and both the 100 and 200 back; Mason Lin was third in the 200 free; David Zhang was third in the 50 free; and Darren Yuan won silver in the 50 free, 200 free, and 100 fly, while also adding a bronze medal in the 100 free.

His true passion was golf, which he enjoyed up until a month before his passing. The family gratefully appreciated all the love and support given. At Lindsay’s request, no service will be held.
