‘Tucked away’ King George Corridor Amy Reid

Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

SURREY — Mandeep Dhaliwal lives in a “tucked away” South Surrey neighbourhood called King George Corridor. His home is sandwiched between Highway 99 and King George Boulevard at about 34th

Avenue. “We’re between that. Then you have the farm belt. It’s like this little section,” Dhaliwal said. While some might expect it to be noisy being located between two major arteries, he said it’s not, because greenbelts provide a buffer, as well as a serene backdrop. “We’re tucked away.” And because the neighbourhood is somewhat hidden, he said there is very little through traffic. When he pulls off the highway and onto his street, he said he’s hit with a sense of calmness. He didn’t feel that same sense of calm in Newton, where he spent a large part of his life. He saw Newton change over the last 10 or 15 years, and said he made the move south to raise his children in a better environment. see AREA’S DIVERSITY › page 3

Hundreds of people, including at least two hockey teams in full uniform, honoured the memory of slain hockey mom Julie Paskall with a candlelight vigil on Saturday night at Holland Park. The ceremony also featured an emotional speech from Julie’s husband, Al. For more photos and a video from the vigil, scan this page with your Layar app. See story on page 6. (Photo: GORD GOBLE)

NEIGHBOURHOODS: King George Corridor

Area’s diversity ‘fosters tolerance’ WATCH VIDEO WITH LAYAR

Mandeep Dhaliwal, left, loves the family-friendly feel of King George Corridor, a neighbourhood tucked between Highway 99 and King George Boulevard in South Surrey. Mandeep and his wife Charn have two children, four-year-old daughter Anaeya and two-year-old son Anaike. (Photo: GORD GOBLE)

‹ from page 1

“(In Newton) people started building, having more and more suites in their home, and I think that’s great to have a suite. But when people started having two, three, four suites, the suites started to get smaller and smaller. Eventually some people just had little rooms they were renting out,” he said. “And some of the people that were going in those kind of rooms, it’s not that they were impoverished, it’s just that many times they were sometimes people who were addicts.... I started to see people in my neighbourhood who were stealing. We had people in our backyard and they were still from our neighbourhood.” That was a big change, he said, and he asked himself if he wanted his children to be exposed to that. “And I didn’t. So I moved out to South Surrey where there wasn’t that much of that. That was a big push for me.” Dhaliwal said he was also drawn to King George Corridor’s diversity. “In my old, old neighbourhood, where I grew up in Burnaby, it was very diverse. I grew up with Italians, I grew up with Jehovah’s Witnesses and there was East Indians and Japanese and Croatians. I loved that neighbourhood. And we didn’t really see colour, it was cool.” Dhaliwal said Newton was less diverse, with mostly Indo-Canadians, and wanted his children to be exposed to a variety of cultures. “This fosters tolerance, and I think living in separate racial neighbourhoods does not allow us to learn what we have in common with each other, it just amplifies the differences,” he said. “That’s what I like about this neighbourhood. There’s Asians here, there’s Caucasians here, there’s some South Asians as well... and that’s what I want (my children) to experience – the similarities in different cultures and not just be separate and see the differences.” But Dhaliwal didn’t choose the neighbourhood solely for its diversity. Part of choosing the location had to do with being so close to major highways, because his wife commutes to Vancouver frequently to visit her parents. “She wanted to be really close to the highway. So that was a big thing. If it was anything further, White Rock, then it was too far of a commute to go to my wife’s parents. One is disabled and her father can’t drive. So they can’t come see her,” he said.

“Those two factors originally pushed me into the neighbourhood, I didn’t really know anyone that lived here or anything like that.” In fact, after driving into the area and liking what he saw, he went door to door, asking people if they were interested in selling their house. “Nobody was at that time, but eventually I bought a house,” he said with a chuckle. When knocking door to door, he was surprised at how nice the area residents are. “Everyone is really open and receptive, and really kind,” he said, adding that neighbours help each other out, whether that’s watching someone’s home when they’re on vacation, providing last-minute childcare or even driving someone to and from the hospital. “It’s good friendship. Just being able to reach out. I trust my neighbours. I’ve never had to go to them for anything, but I think if I had to reach out if I was going through a tough time, I feel comfortable to do that, and I don’t know how many people can say that.” He said knowing his neighbours makes him feel safe and comfortable. “If there’s anybody who’s not from the neighbourhood, it becomes quite apparent,” he said.

REAL SENSE OF COMMUNITY

Dhaliwal also takes comfort in knowing the parents in the area will help keep an eye on his children. “I feel safe with my daughter on the street. If she runs out on the street like she’s not supposed to, somebody else would probably say, ‘Hey, get back.’” Dhaliwal has two children, four-year-old daughter Anaeya and two-year-old son Anaike. The area’s sense of community is beneficial to both his children, he said.

The children in the area regularly get together at seasonal events, such as movie nights in the summer, Easter egg hunts and even Christmas carolling. Both of his children will reap the benefits of the multiculturalism and sense of community the area offers, he said. “I could liken it to my parents’ culture in India, and even First Nations where they say it takes a village to raise a child, right? In India, if you were doing something wrong in the village, it wasn’t just your parents you were worried about, you were also worried about your neighbours,” he said.

I think living in separate racial neighbourhoods does not allow us to learn what we have in common with each other, it just amplifies the differences. “There’s so much we can learn from each other’s cultures.” Dhaliwal’s wife Charn also loves the area’s diversity. “Everybody is from a different background,” she said. “But I think the one thing we all have in common is that we all want to raise our kids with the same morals and values.” She also agreed that the residents being connected contributes to a sense of security. “They’re friends and I feel safe walking around with my kids here at night,” she said.

KNOWING THE NEIGHBOURS

James Fang, another area resident, moved to King George Corridor three years ago

with his wife and two children because they found Vancouver and Richmond were no longer affordable. “A lot of people have actually moved out this way because of that,” he said. “And a lot of people are surprised when you say that because you think of South Surrey and you think of pricier homes as well, but it’s actually more affordable than you would expect.” Fang said his family is happy with their move to the neighbourhood – and that feeling was sparked the day they moved in. While moving things inside, a woman started mowing his lawn. Another woman began raking the front lawn. They turned out to be his neighbours. More recently, when he was injured for a couple of weeks, his neighbours on both sides cut his lawn for him. And when it snows, everyone pitches in to shovel the sidewalks and pathways. “It was a really good feeling. Every time we went for a walk around the neighbourhood you talk to people or you say ‘hi’ to them,” he said. His family previously lived in Richmond for more than five years; in that time, they didn’t get to know many people in their community. “Everyone is in and out of the garage and their cars, nobody actually gets to know anybody, and it’s unfortunate,” he said. Fang grew up in Victoria knowing all his neighbours, parents and children alike, and is glad his children will now experience the same. “You don’t see it a lot anymore, unfortunately. I grew up in Victoria. I could go ride my bike and I could go knock on anybody’s door in the neighbourhood and they would know who I am and I could ask for help, or even something as simple as using the washroom.”

SURREY — Surrey waters welcomed home a larger than average number of returning salmon in 2013, according to the environmental groups that operate hatcheries on the Little Campbell and Serpentine rivers. In South Surrey, the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club was thrilled to see near record numbers of returning fish. It was the second best run since monitoring began in 1983, and fell just shy of the numbers recorded in 2001. More than 5,500 salmon were checked at the hatchery counting fence before being released upstream to spawn. The count included 4,702 coho, 574 chinook, 252 chum and 22 pink salmon. The total does not include salmon that spawned in the river downstream from the hatchery or in the downstream tributaries such as Fergus Creek. “The rains in the fall came later than

“new patients welcome”

normal and that’s what the fish wait for before heading up the river,” said club president Bob Donnelly. “The coho were pretty much on schedule and they were pretty steady. As a matter of fact, we had 20 or so come up last weekend (Jan. 11 and 12) when the rains were so heavy and that’s pretty unusual because they’re usually done by now. We’re starting to get our first steelhead coming up now and that’s right on schedule. “The strange thing is we also had 22 pinks come up the river. That’s very unusual because the Little Campbell is not a spawning river for them. The pink run on the coast was good this year and we suspect a few of them just wandered into the river. The other possibility is we had a spawning pair come up the river a few years ago and these could be the returns from that pair.” Meanwhile in North Surrey, it was a good news, bad news scenario for the Serpentine Enhancement Society’s Tynehead Hatchery.

On the plus side, the numbers of returning salmon were strong overall in 2013. The chinook numbers were down marginally, but the coho run was excellent. That good news was tempered by damage wrought by heavy storms that battered the Lower Mainland on the weekend of Jan. 3 to 5. The deluge of water created flood conditions in the Serpentine and SES volunteers fear the worst. “Sadly, the heavy storms we just had did a lot of damage to the spawning beds,” said Carol Wright, SES director of fish culture. “A lot of water hit the river and it ended up ripping up the spawning beds and dislodging the eggs. There’s been a huge loss of eggs and that’s very worrying for the future. With more pavement and development and storm drains moving water into the river, there is more flash flooding that tears up the riverbed. Every year the damage is greater and greater.” mbooth@thenownewspaper.com

RCMP fatal shooting probed

Woman, 85, hurt in Newton hit-and-run

SURREY — The Independent Investigations Office is probing a second police shooting in Surrey in two months. A man died of his injuries in hospital Friday night after Surrey RCMP were called to a home in Whalley, in the neighbourhood of 98A Avenue and 118B Street, to check on a man’s welfare. “Upon arrival they encountered an adult male,” Owen Court, of the IIO, confirmed. “During the course of their interaction, the male was shot by a police officer.” No more details were released. The IIO, based in Whalley, was set up in 2012 with the aim of keeping B.C. police officers accountable in cases involving in-custody deaths and serious injuries. In a separate incident, on Nov. 7, 2013, the IIO was called on to investigate a police shooting in Guildford after an officer with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit shot a man during a vehicle check at a strip mall near 108th Avenue and 148th Street.

Former city planner spared jail

NEWTON — A Surrey man has been arrested after an 85-year-old woman was struck down in a hit-and-run crash near a Newton alley on Saturday morning. The victim was walking south on 146th Street near 60th Avenue when a Mercedes hit her, at about 7:40 a.m. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the alleged driver

left the scene, then returned and parked his car in a nearby garage. The victim sustained serious injuries to her head and the right side of her body, and is in serious but stable condition in hospital. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor.

WHALLEY — Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil Saturday night to remember Julie Paskall, the Surrey hockey mom who died after being attacked outside the Newton Arena. Police are still looking for her killer. Paskall, 53, was waiting for her teenaged son to finish officiating a hockey game when she was attacked on Dec. 29. She died in hospital two days later, on New Year’s Eve. Her husband Al Paskall spoke at the vigil, held at Holland Park in Whalley. Julie had been his high school sweetheart and Al Paskall they’d married almost 35 years ago. “Look way inside and think about what’s happened here,” he told the crowd. “We don’t need to change the laws, we don’t need to change the courts, we need to change ourselves. “We need to take better care of each other,” he said. “We’re all people here. There should be no way somebody should be able to do this to another living thing.” Sadly, only several blocks from where Paskall was attacked, a 25-year-old Surrey man was slashed with a machete early Monday morning. Surrey RCMP received several 911 calls from residents in the neighbourhood of 141st Street and 75th Avenue, shortly after 1 a.m., reporting that a group of people was attacking a man and that one of the

attackers had a machete. “They also advised that there was a large amount of blood,” said Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Murray Hedderson. Police found the victim bleeding heavily from slashes and he was taken by ambulance to hospital, where he is in serious but stable condition. Police had yet to arrest a suspect at the Now’s print deadline. Witnesses saw the attackers leaving the crime scene in a van. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

NDP UNVEILS SURREY ACCORD

On Jan. 14,, the NDP unveiled its plan to address the city’s crime, mental health and addictions issues, as well as homelessness. The NDP’s five-point plan, dubbed Surrey Accord, would include all levels of government and calls for increased policing, creation of a community court, regulation of recovery homes, a mental-health action plan as well as non-profit and supportive housing. NDP leader Adrian Dix unveiled the accord at Newton Cultural Centre, where he was joined by local NDP MLAs. Dix said Surrey is growing rapidly, but added that challenges come with such growth. Harry Bains, MLA for SurreyNewton, said the city’s police officers are overstretched, while Surrey-Green Timbers MLA Sue Hammell said mental health is a very significant issue in the city. She said too many police resources are spent responding to calls involving the mentally ill. She called for more resources for those suffering from such illnesses in the community. The MLAs hope to press for the adoption of the accord when the legislature’s spring session begins on Feb. 11.

Hectic stretch for Surrey firefighters Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — Surrey firefighters have been busy. They fought yet another house fire on Saturday evening, this time in Whalley. It started in a basement suite, at 14148 101st Ave., and caused extensive damage. Nobody was hurt and nobody was home at the time. The fire is not considered suspicious but police have yet to determine the source. “It’s been busy, I won’t deny that by any stretch,” said Dan Barnscher, deputy fire chief. A huge house fire in Newton early Friday morning might have been deliberately set. The fire, in the 14300-block of 82nd Avenue, erupted shortly before 1 a.m. and was raging by the time Surrey firefighters arrived. “It’s being investigated as a suspicious fire at this time,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “We’re just happy nobody was home at the time and nobody was hurt, first responders included.”

AN07

This abandoned house in Newton was the site of one of the several blazes firefighters fought in the past week. Twenty-five firefighters fought the two-alarm blaze. The rear part of the house collapsed upon their arrival. Paquet said Friday morning that investigators were still trying to contact the owners. Police guarded what’s left of the house overnight, and fire investigators are working through the aftermath trying to determine the cause. Meanwhile, a problem house in Newton was all but burned to the ground early last Thursday morning, and arson is suspected. “We’ve attended that house in the past for illegal and drug activities,” Paquet said.

Last week, the city evicted the tenants of 6832 134th St., rendering the house abandoned. Capt. Marc Berube, of the Surrey fire department, said the owner was planning to restore the house. Now even firefighters are wary of entering the structure, in case intravenous needles have been left behind. “We really have to be careful how to dig it out,” Berube said. The fire fully engulfed the house, but didn’t spread to neighbouring homes. A neighbour called it in, just before 1 a.m. “We have it as suspicious,” Berube said, at the scene. Paquet said police have canvassed the neighbourhood for clues but have found no witnesses. “The residence is known to police regarding illegal activities and was condemned by Surrey fire and bylaws due to electrical fire hazards,” Paquet said. “The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time and being investigated by Surrey Fire Services.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Transit referendum looms large InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

FOLLOW KEITH ON TWITTER

remier Christy Clark’s plan to hold a referendum on how to fund transit in Metro Vancouver is shaping up to have a far-reaching impact few may have foreseen when it was first attached to the B.C. Liberal election platform. Before last spring’s election, that platform was viewed as the grab bag of ideas of a party that was heading for electoral oblivion. But the B.C. Liberals’ surprise victory meant the platform’s contents suddenly became very relevant and a transit referendum went from what at first looked like a throwaway idea to a political reality. And now I think it’s fair to say a number of Metro Vancouver mayors are getting a little freaked out about the whole thing. Although we have yet to

see the referendum question itself, it’s a fairly safe bet it will include at least one option for raising money (i.e., taxes or user fees) to pay for transit and transportation projects. And that means it could easily be seen by voters as a some kind of thinly-disguised tax grab. Things will get very sticky for mayors if they declare their support for a mechanism to raise money on the backs of voters to pay for the transit projects they’ve been pushing for. A basic rule of thumb seems to be that Metro Vancouver residents want more transit and less congestion on the roads, but want someone else to pick up the enormous tab that goes with those desires. We’re talking about spending about $20 billion over the next few decades, not exactly chump change. And that means any revenue measure (or measures) to pay that kind of bill would have to be substantial . While most mayors agree there is a desperate need for more transit, they don’t agree on which projects should be a priority, nor do they agree on how to pay for them. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, for example, has long advocated for a road pricing system

that would slap small tolls on almost every bridge, but she has yet to win much support from fellow Metro Vancouver political leaders. So the stage is being set for the referendum to become a political orphan, with very few politicians taking ownership of it. So far, at least, Clark continues to leave the impression she wants the mayors to step up and champion the “yes” vote while she remains in the background. But with the referendum tied to municipal elections in November, what are the chances many mayors will advocate for a tax measure when there is a real chance their opponent in a mayoralty race takes the “no” position? In fact, will an actual tax revolt emerge instead? Given the bruising experience of the ill-fated HST and the entrenched crankiness of

voters when it comes to tax hikes and user fees, I’d guess the potential for one being created by the transit referendum is very real. A wild card factor in this increasingly messy business may be Transportation Minister Todd Stone. Unlike his premier, Stone has said he intends to aggressively campaign in the referendum. Stone has been doing his homework. He’s studied more than 60 similar referendums in the U.S., and he knows referendums only succeed with a fair amount of legwork and campaigning over a long period of time. Unfortunately, Stone may have left things too late. The successful campaign in Los Angeles that saw voters pass a half-cent increase to the sales tax to pay for transit improvements occurred after a multi-year public campaign.

Stone has just 10 months before the November vote. And if few mayors join with him in that campaign, it’s hard to see the vote passing. In fact, the municipal elections themselves may suffer a kind of collateral damage from the transit referendum. Depending on the question and whether there is any substantial backlash among the voting public, the potential exists for mayors or councillors to lose their posts because of this one issue. I don’t think anyone

saw this coming when the referendum idea was first unveiled by a premier whose days in office seem to be numbered. But now that the transit referendum is barreling down the track, and it’s headed straight at the mayors of a region that simply can’t find consensus on what is arguably the number-one issue facing it. Some of them may pay a hefty price for all those years of not agreeing. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC

Patients deserve support in getting medical pot The Editor, Re: “Delta to ban medical marijuana business,” the Now, Jan. 9. It is extremely frustrating to read an article where Delta council appears to be attempting to redefine what nature consists of by condemning greenhouse growing of medical marijuana as inappropriate. Health Canada has specifically allowed for the greenhouse growing of this crop in its regulations with the understanding that it is the healthiest, cheapest and lowest carbon footprint available, given that outdoor growing is not permitted. Furthermore, this medicine should be grown in a safe manner on agricultural land away from residential and industrial areas. The reason indoor growing became the norm has been due to the illicit nature of cannabis and not because it is the preferred growth environment. Interestingly, Washington State allows for greenhouse growing in its legalized programme. However, it seems this council knows best and we suspect that Delta could encounter a legal challenge from someone under the Right to Farm Act.

Furthermore, medical marijuana has a 5,000-year global history and patients deserve support to obtain cheap, healthy access to medicine in a supportive and safe environment. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be a priority for this council. David Hutchinson, Surrey

Politicians’ earnings should pay for police The Editor, Re: “Hunt says NDP plan to make Surrey’s streets safer has no ‘new ideas,’” the Now online. Citizens only need one single plan, not five, in order to battle the criminal element. That plan is to stop politicians of all levels from deferring taxpayers’ dollars to enhance their wages, benefits and retirement plans and much more and use the money to add extra police power. Al Dinis, Delta

Surrey Board of Education invites public input to its 2014/2015 Operating Budget The Surrey Board of Education Educatio invites your submissions regarding program and service priorities as the board considers its 2014/2015 operating budget. Each year, the board works to sustain priority program programs and services to support students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are difficult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way way. In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, includin including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challeng challenge e and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities, and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to:

People lack healthy fear of consequences The Editor, Re: “Adversity is exhausting our city,” the Now, Jan. 9. Dianne Watts doesn’t need to set up a task force to discover why the crime rate is so high. It’s simple – people used to have morals as well as fear of parents, God and the authorities. Our judicial system needs great reform. When the cops bring someone in, our legal system throws them back out. What’s to fear or keep someone in line? While in prison, a person should be entitled to bread, water and the occasional vitamin C tablet. If they don’t like it, maybe they won’t go back. That is what “consequences” is supposed to mean. When a person is given three square meals a day, shelter, lodging, a gym, library, entertainment, as well as an education, that is called a way of life, not punishment. Why do law-abiding citizens have to pay our own way, plus pay for a way of life for those incarcerated when they get more than our own kids and we can’t even take care

of our elders (whose tax dollars built the country we live in today)? In a similar vein, search and rescue asks people to use their common sense. Our young people don’t know what that is. They should have their volunteers take a month off and let the out-of-bounders sink or swim on their own. Maybe after a few deaths the people will have a fear of dying. True, I don’t want my kids to die to set an example for others but stupid is as stupid does. Diana Oldman, Langley

Time to put full ban on cellphones in cars The Editor, I believe most car crashes are caused by drivers using cellphones. The time has come for a full ban on the use of cellphones in cars. What are we waiting for – someone of importance to be killed by someone using a cellphone? How did we manage before cellphones came? Ron Watson, Surrey

Exempt your child from the FSA Dear parents,

We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem. But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning.

The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the muchdelayed results do not actively support your child’s progress. The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs. That’s why teachers in Surrey recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

Mr. Wayne Noye, Secretary-Treasurer Mr School District No.36 (Surrey) 14033 92nd Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 0B7 Telephone: (604) 596-7333 Fax: (604) 595-6307 or Email: budget@surreyschools.ca Written submissions should be received no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, February 28, 2014.

Local athletes make CIBC Team Next Carolyn Cooke

Four local athletes – three from Surrey and one from Delta – were chosen to be part of CIBC’s Team Next. That means Delta’s Danielle Kisser (swimming), Surrey’s Isabella Bertold (sailing), Christabel Nettey (athletics) and Sukhi Panesar (field hockey) get muchneeded money and other support to pursue their respective sports.

Isabella Bertold, above, Sukhi Panesar, left, and Christabel Nettey, right, are athletes chosen for CIBC’s Team Next, which gives them three years of financial grants, mentors and other supports in their pursuit of the podium in their respective sports. Each of the 67 athletes chosen for Team Next get $5,000 a year for three years, a mentor as well as financial and career planning and other benefits. Like many serious amateur athletes, Bertold has to travel internationally for competitions, and the costs add up quickly. Having $15,000 in grant money is “significant,” she said.

“Sailing is a really expensive sport,” she added, although she is also sponsored by Instafund Financial and Sport Canada. Aside from the money, she said she was really excited about being paired with Olympic medalist Simon Whitfield. Nettey, a long jumper who is currently training in Phoenix, Arizona, agreed that the money is “a blessing” and the mentorship

aspect is really helpful in preparing for big meets, and hopefully also the Olympics. Panesar, who, like Bertold, is juggling university studies with his sports, said he too appreciated having financial support to get to international meets – most of which are in Asia or South America. “The financial support is huge,” he said. ccooke@thenownewspaper.com

Eagles use OT to snap losing streak Michael Booth

Now staff Twitter @boothnow

The Surrey Eagles broke out of their January funk with a hard-fought 5-4 overtime win over the league-leading Langley Rivermen in B.C. Hockey League action at South Surrey Arena Sunday. The win was just the second in seven games in the month of January for the Eagles and snapped a five-game winlessstreak. It also ended a six-game run of futility for the defending BCHL champs against their neighbours to the east. “It was a good win for us,” said Eagles coach Peter Schaefer. “It was probably the best game we’ve played in a while as far as our compete level goes and it paid off for the guys. We played a good game for the most part, but Langley came on in the late part and outworked us and scored two goals to force overtime. The guys kept working though and got it done in overtime. Hopefully they realize now what they have to do more consistently if want to win.” The defending BCHL champs took a 3-2 lead into the third period and extended it to two goals when Chase McMurphy scored midway through the frame. The Rivermen gained some life with a goal less than two minutes later and then pulled even with a power play-marker in the final minutes. The extra session was all Surrey, however, as the Eagles dominated puck possession and mustered two shots on goal before Nathan Renouf bagged the game winner. Danton Heinen scored twice for Surrey to earn first star honours while Matt Dawson finished with a goal and an assist. Sunday’s result marked a complete turnaround from Surrey’s efforts against the cellar-dwelling Trail Smoke Eaters in South Surrey Friday. The uninspired Eagles mailed

(Photo: DAMON JAMES) in their effort and predictably took it on the chin 5-3 from a hardworking Trail team. Trail scored three goals in a five-minute span of the second period to build a 4-1 lead and wrest control of the contest. Surrey managed to cut the gap to a single goal in the final frame only to have the Smoke Eaters ice the win with an empty netter. “That game was a great example of the opposite of what we need to do to be successful,” Schaefer said. “The guys came out not ready to play thinking they were going to win easily. They played down to

another team’s level that’s out of the playoffs. The Trail guys were ready to go and they’re all working for next year and they just outworked us.” Renouf led all Surrey scorers with two assists while the goals came off the sticks of McMurphy, Kale Bennett and Austin Ferguson. Surrey started the week in horrible fashion by absorbing a 7-3 pounding at the hands of the host Coquitlam Express Wednesday. The Eagles surrendered two first period power-play goals, but managed to battle

back to tie the game at 2-2 before the first intermission. That was it for Surrey highlights, however, as Coquitlam struck for three unanswered goals in the middle frame and added two more in the third period before Surrey’s Braedan Russell potted a meaningless power-play goal with less than three minutes remaining. Heinen and Renouf also scored for Surrey. The Eagles are on the road this week with games in Trail Friday and Salmon Arm Saturday.

Briefly

Record start to 2014 for UBC’s Luc Bruchet South Surrey’s Luc Bruchet started 2014 the same way he closed out the old year — with an impressive win. The Elgin Park grad was in Seattle Saturday with his UBC Thunderbirds track teammates where he set a new school and meet record at the University of Washington Indoor Preview. It was Bruchet’s first competitive race since winning the Canadian men’s cross-country championship in late November. In Seattle Saturday, Bruchet won the men’s 3,000 metres in a blistering time of seven minutes, 54.57 seconds, breaking not only the 18-year-old UBC record, but also the meet record (formerly 7:54.88 by Irish Olympian Alistair Cragg). Bruchet edged

out Minnesota’s first four-minute miler and Nike athlete Ben Blankenship in the process. Bruchet’s clocking was almost five seconds faster than the old UBC record, which was set in 1996 by former Canadian Olympian Jeff Schiebler. Bruchet’s time puts him second in the world as of Jan. 18 per the IAAF website. Bruchet currently sits only four seconds back of the IAAF World Indoor Championship standard of 7:50.00 to be held in Sopot, Poland.

Lineman makes cut

Surrey’s Jesse Lawson made the grade when Football Canada announced its Junior National Team roster, which will take on

USA Football’s U19 National Team on February 7 to 8 at Maverick Stadium at the University of Texas at Arlington as part of the 2014 International Bowl series. The 6-foot-6 260-pound Langley Rams offensive lineman was the only B.C. native selected to the 60-man roster, which was selected from close to 500 players who took part in identification camps across Canada. Team Canada’s roster will be trimmed to 45 following the games in Texas, and those 45 will represent Canada at the 2014 U19 (19-and-under) World Championship in Kuwait.

PMSS alumni hoops

The pride will be gathering on Friday,

Jan. 24 when Princess Margaret Secondary welcome former Lions young and old for the annual PMSS Alumni basketball games. This year, the night is expanding to 3 games to accommodate the many students wanting to play on the Den floor one more time. At 5 p.m., the alumni boys will be divided into two teams – old alumni vs. new alumni. Then at 6:30 p.m., the alumni girls take to the court against the 2014 senior girls team. The finale goes at 8 p.m. with the 2014 senior boys team taking on the winner of the 5 p.m. match. Those wanting to suit up should arrive 30 minutes before tip-off. For more information, contact Mr. Sperling or Mr. Webber at 604-594-5458.

SOUTH SURREY — Two months after TransLink opened a $4.5-million expansion to the South Surrey Park and Ride and implemented a $2 parking fee, the lot is still sitting empty. In fact, would-be commuters have now taken to parking along nearby streets and residential areas, causing many residents to call in with complaints to the City of Surrey. “It is causing a significant inconvenience and we are receiving a number of complaints from neighbours,” said Coun. Tom Gill, head of the city’s transportation and infrastructure committee. “The city, from a risk perspective, is concerned there are a lot more cars on the side of the roads and the neighbours are complaining in terms of parking access and visibility.” Prior to the opening of the expansion, the original 473-stall lot was free for commuters to park at, which often led to it filling up quickly each morning. However, once the 367 additional spots were opened in November, the $2 fee was applied to both lots. Now facing an additional $2 fee per day, commuters are seemingly doing everything they can to avoid paying. “We were at max capacity, and now with the $2 charge we’ve come down in terms of overall numbers,” said Gill. “The issue that we’re faced with are those same folks that were previously utilizing the lots are now using portions of the roadway to park their vehicles.” The expansion was funded by the provincial government at a cost of $4.5 million and handed over to TransLink for operation. When reached for comment, TransLink’s director of infrastructure and network management, Sany R. Zein, said the fees were implemented in order to pay for

I would expect that we are looking at a strategy to have ‘No Parking’ signs installed in specific locations... to curtail some of these issues. the lot’s continued maintenance. “The move to pay parking is part of TransLink’s park-and-ride policy, which guides the supply, pricing and management of TransLink-managed facilities,” said Zein. “It is intended to recover the operational costs of park-and-ride facilities.” Asked about possibly reducing or eliminating the fee entirely, Zein said that wasn’t an option at this point. “We are monitoring the usage of the lot while taking into consideration the fact that usage patterns take some time to settle down after the introduction of pay parking,” he said. “As pay parking has only been in effect for a short time, it is still too early to identify trends, and we are not considering changes at this time.” In the meantime, Gill said the city was looking at possibly putting parking restrictions on the streets surrounding the park-and-ride. “I would expect that we are looking at a strategy to have ‘No Parking’ signs installed in specific locations, and also some emphasis at looking at some locations that would have a maximum time permitting somebody, to curtail some of these issues,” said Gill. “In the long term, I do believe that lot will be used, and it is good, in the sense, that we have that capacity, but I am disappointed in the short term.”

There’s no downtime, no foreign substance, and no fast radical change. Instead you get a more natural, less dramatic healthy looking facial rejuvenation without the side effects of invasive facial surgery. You choose the area(s) you would like to target, whether it’s the lower face/neck, brow and eyes, full face of just the “smokers lip”. The result is tighter, firmer, better-fitting skin!

Unlike lasers which work from the outside-in, Ultherapy moves beyond the surface of the skin to target the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen is found. When ultrasound is directed below the skin surface to the layer called the dermis, it disturbs that layer with its vibration and a low level of heat. This causes it to react by producing more collagen and tighter new skin cells. The new cells have replaced old cells to give the skin a fresher look and the extra collagen provides more skin support, smoothing out wrinkles.

This Health Canada approved procedure lifts and tones while stimulating the deep structural support layers of the skin. This stimulation targets facial tissue including those typically targeted in a surgical facelift. It does this without disturbing the surface of the skin. It requires no recovery time and is just one treatment. The treatment slows down the aging process and regenerates collagen, lifting the skin into a more youthful position. This gives the appearance of younger, more vibrant skin and a more youthful, fresh appearance.
