The diary of

Manjit Panghali Murder victim’s writings reveal alcohol an issue in troubled marriage Black Press

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Manjit Panghali was depressed and desperately trying to cope with many challenging issues in her marriage to Mukhtiar Panghali, the slain woman’s diary entries show.

MANJIT PANGHALI was desperately trying to save her marriage before she was murdered in 2006. She was upset by her husband’s drinking, and she was trying to get him to go to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). “You drink and I don’t know how to cope,” she said in a letter to Mukhtiar Panghali. “You get upset and mean.” In another letter she urged him to get help. “When you are ready and want to get some help you need to call AA by yourself.” The letters and some diary entries were used as evidence against her husband at his murder trial. CTV News Vancouver was allowed to examine the slain teacher’s writings and reported on the contents Monday. The papers show Manjit was deeply unhappy after the birth of her first child. “I am clinically depressed and on medication. I am so scared,” she wrote. “My husband does not give me the support I need.” She went to Al-Anon where people in relationships with alcoholics try to learn how to “detach with love.” A diary entry dated May 15, 2005 showed her planning to do something for herself so she wouldn’t be “waiting around for him.” “Go for dinner, walk on beach,” she wrote. “We need to do some work on our marriage. We need to plan it in order that our relationship doesn’t disintegrate. We need to do some work on this relationship. “We have struggled with many issues – sex, drugs, alcohol, colleagues, family,” she said in a letter dated Feb. 15, 2006. “I definitely don’t want to bring another child in this chaos. The chaos can [simply] be you drink and I don’t know how to cope.” See VERDICT / Page 5

Fraser Health seeks private clinics for surgeries, scans NDP critic lashes move to contract out as a waste of money by Jeff Nagel FRASER HEALTH may turn to private clinics to

provide some MRI scans, cataract operations and general surgery as it tries to cut wait times for a variety of procedures. The contracting out strategy is outlined in a request for proposals that calls for private health providers to submit bids by Dec. 29. Any contracts signed would be for one year with options to extend for another four, according to the document, which says Fraser Health wants to “establish long-term relationships” with service providers. No fees would be charged to patients who are served in the private clinics. But NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the strategy makes no sense because the private procedures are almost certain to cost more than using the health authority’s own MRI scanners

and operating rooms, which remain under-used. “We’ve already paid for new MRI machines in Burnaby and Peace Arch through community contributions,” Dix said. “The idea that the community could contribute millions of dollars to go buy MRIs – which paid for the fixed costs – and then that we wouldn’t use them is not only poor policy but it’s disrespectful to all the people who made those contributions.” Fraser Health in 2009 capped the number of MRI scans it would fund as one of many budget-restraint measures, lengthening waits. Money has since come back to the authority through the province’s pay-for-performance strategy to help fund more MRIs and reduce wait times. A similar re-injection of cash, intended to foster efficiency and innovation, is underway to tackle backlogs of elective surgeries, after

operating room activity was scaled back over the summer. Dix dubbed it an “artificially created crisis” that the government could fix by simply fully using the hospitals and equipment it already has. Fraser Health has B.C.’s longest wait times for MRIs, he said, citing a survey earlier this year that found waits of 16 months or longer at some of the region’s largest hospitals. “It is beyond me why they would leave people suffering in pain when they have excess capacity and they aren’t using it.” He said the only explanation appears to have been former health minister Kevin Falcon’s “addiction to contracting out and privatization even when it’s dramatically more expensive.” See BIDS / Page 5

Verdict: In January From page 3

In videotaped interviews with police, Mukhtiar Panghali told officers his wife was upset that his brother Sukvhinder was staying in their home. His parents were

planning on moving in, too. “I feel helpless,” she wrote in her diary. “I hate life. It’s so hard to live in two cultures. He makes me feel so powerless, so hopeless, so scared.” She wrote about learning she was

expecting a child a day after a camping trip to Cultus Lake. “I could not stop crying because I was so thrilled. I had bought [Mukhtiar] a card – he was very excited. We went for breakfast to celebrate.” Just two months

after she wrote those words, her badly burned body was found in South Delta. Mukhtiar Panghali was charged with her murder five months later. A verdict in his trial is expected in January.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

HUNGER

Friday December 24 2010

Family is the ‘bestest’ present ever THE INCREASED tempo of the

sounds coming from the kitchen, including the intensified banter of voices, indicated a call to the table for the turkey feast was near at hand. Emilee’s grandmother sat quietly on the living room chesterfield watching her granddaughter rearranging the previously opened presents that had been left under the Christmas tree. When Emilee was satisfied everything looked neat and tidy, she reached for Hannah, her favourite doll, and climbed up on the chesterfield beside her grandmother. After wiggling herself into a sitting position, Emilee sat Hannah on her grandmother’s lap and said, “I like my new presents, but I like Hannah best.” Emilee’s grandmother reached out and cradled the red-headed doll in both hands. “Hannah has been your special friend for a long time.” “Grandma, what was your bestest present ever?” “Oh my, let me think. Oh… but of course! It was you.” Emilee giggled. “I’m not a present, Grandma.” “Yes you are…the best present anyone ever gave me. When I watch you play I can see myself when I was a little girl…and I can see your daddy and your uncle when they were little boys. You are my special time machine. I can go….” Emilee interjected, “I’m not a machine, Grandma. I’m a girl.” With a mischievous twinkle in her eyes Emilee slid off the chesterfield. Then she held her arms and legs very stiff and began walking slowly and dramatically, mimicking a robot. When Emilee reached the hallway she slowly rotated her head and gave her grandmother an endearing smile before disappearing into the kitchen. Emilee could then be heard saying, “Mommy, Grandma said I’m a machine … a time machine.” Emilee’s grandmother turned her unfocused gaze towards the blinking lights on the tree and recalled her favourite childhood toys. In a voice barely audible she murmured, “Emilee truly is my bestest present ever.” Merry Christmas to all! Peace and Joy. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Time to get back to the Golden Rule WHILE WE allow our large financial institutions

to each make multiple billions of dollars in after-tax profit, Canada and the U.S., dominated by people claiming to be practising Christians, could do a great deal better in spreading the gratuitous wealth. Indeed I, a “backslidden” Christian, believe that Christ sadly shakes his head when he observes how many Christians are neglecting society’s most needy. Author Charles Dickens expressed his dismay with such Christians in his novel Oliver Twist.

One of its pompous characters, Mr. Bumble, the headmaster of a poor house who also professes to be Christian, treats his impoverished subjects with contempt while he feasts on steaks with oyster sauce and porter. After a starving homeless man, his wife and large family come to him seeking assistance, Mr. Bumble states indignantly to a colleague: “Give ’em an apron full of coals today, and they’ll come back for another the day after tomorrow, as brazen as alabaster.” The day after the hungry family man warns that he’ll starve to death in the street, Mr. Bumble notes

that “he went away; and he did die in the streets. There’s a obstinate pauper for you!” I hope society is not returning to such inhumane times as written about by Dickens. However, with the large gap between the rich and the poor widening, who knows? What I do know is that more Christians – to a large extent, myself included – need to get back to the Christian basics: Care for one another as you’d care for yourself. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

In crisis? There is help if you need it RE: “A North Deltan’s Christmas

wish” (Letters, Dec. 10). As someone who works in crisis intervention, I was saddened

to read the letter written by Greg Smith in which he defines the “tragic face” of a “police incident” witnessed by him and his wife.

Calling Christmas... Christmas HOW IRONIC that we may have

reached a point in Canada where calling Christmas Christmas has rated national news attention, as in the case of the Chilliwack school board referring to the December school break as the “Christmas Holidays.” When on July 7, 1988, Parliament passed the “Act for the Preservation and Enhancement of Multiculturalism in Canada,” augmented in 1991 by the “Department of Multiculturalism and Citizenship Act,” the idea took hold that minorities were offended by Christmas and other public expressions of traditional Canadian culture. It should be clearly noted that this did not originate with minority new Canadians, but with selfproclaimed so-called “progressive” middle-class higher-purpose white folks who thought it was

the very essence of enlightened liberalism to diminish their own cultural and religious traditions as offensive to others and to have those traditions eliminated. Christmas was to be a “winter festival,” the Christmas tree

was neutralized to “holiday season tree” and not even Remembrance Day white crosses were safe. It is those people we really have to fear and what is worse is how the virus of political correct-

ness has infected our society – to the point where our multicultural outreach efforts of accommodation to newcomers have truly descended into a theatre of the absurd. E.W. Bopp, Tsawwassen

Thank you, Good Samaritans I WAS just wanting to write a letter to the editor

about a couple of Good Samaritans that helped my dad. On Oct. 30, one day after my dad’s 70th birthday, he was hit by someone running a red light through an intersection. The poor guy is already recovering from knee-replacement surgery and has a cane. I would just like to say a very big thank you to the young man who came running to check on my dad, brought him water because my dad was dizzy and shaken-up, and also helped him out of the car and onto the sidewalk.

A big thank you also to the other man and his wife who stopped to help my dad and also. Both parties witnessed the whole thing and stayed till the police got there and gave statements. Thank you a hundred times for “getting involved” and helping my poor dad. Words cannot describe how kind you all were that day. Thank you. It’s people like you that make the world a better place.

A SURREY RCMP officer charged earlier this week with numerous gun offences was named months ago in a civil action regarding a raid on a firearms training facility in Delta. Const. David Clarke, an RCMP member with four-and-a-half years service, has been charged with 15 criminal offences, including breach of trust, possession of stolen property obtained by a crime and multiple firearms offences. The weapons in question include a FN FAL semi-automatic rifle, a Colt semi-automatic handgun, a Glock 9mm handgun, a Mossberg pump-action shotgun and a Remington Mohawk semi-automatic rifle. On May 25, Clarke was also named in a civil suit launched by Gordon and Jane Bader of South Surrey after their firearms training business and home were searched and family members arrested. Gordon Bader is a retired Vancouver Police officer who had 30 years experience with the force. In 1988, Bader started Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, a weapons training facility at 7198 Vantage Way in Delta.

“In the course of their business, the Plaintiffs Gordon and Travis Bader, are frequently required to store and transfer non-restricted, restricted and prohibited firearms, which they do in accordance with the governing legislation and regulations,” the Bader statement of claim says. It adds that Clarke and other officers conducted a search of their Surrey residence. The search was “unreasonable and conducted without lawful authorization,” the statement of claim states. The Baders are seeking unspecified compensation for alleged wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, trespass, assault and battery, negligence and malicious prosecution as well as loss of income, humility and distress. A separate investigation into Clarke originated from a public complaint on Oct. 1, and resulted in 15 charges against him. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Fraser MacRae described the allegations against Clarke as “very rare” and said they will be taken very seriously. Clarke’s next court appearance is on Jan. 18 at Surrey Provincial Court.

Injured woman dies Was critically hurt in Dec. 7 collision by Dan Ferguson A 26-YEAR-OLD woman has died as a result of serious head injuries suffered in a multi-vehicle crash in a North Surrey neighbourhood on Dec. 7. She was driving a black Ford Explorer near 160 Street and 92 Avenue when she was apparently rear-ended by a flatbed Peterbilt semi travelling northbound on 160 Street. The collision pushed the Explorer into oncoming traffic, where it struck a southbound Kia, which then collided with a southbound Nissan. The Explorer crashed through a fence into a residential front yard. The big rig slammed through a side fence in a house across the street and

knocked down a tree. The woman driving the Explorer died some time later in hospital as a result of critical head injures, police confirmed Monday. Her name was not released. Occupants of the other vehicles suffered minor injuries. Surrey RCMP Traffic Services continues to investigate the accident with the assistance of the Criminal Collision Investigation Team and Integrated Collision And Reconstruction Services. No charges have been laid so far. Anyone with information about this crash is asked to contact Surrey RCMP Traffic Services at 604-599-0502. dferguson@surreyleader.com

Falcon joins calls for later SkyTrain runs

One Time Offer

IF HE BECOMES premier, B.C. Liberal leadership contender Kevin Falcon is pledging to extend late-night SkyTrain service to help revellers get home from bars and restaurants. There have been calls for years for SkyTrain to run later than the current last downtown Vancouver departures of about 1:15 a.m. – well before bars close – but they intensified this fall when police began enforcing tougher drinking and driving roadside penalties. Falcon said he’d seek to extend service to as late as 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to help make SkyTrain a more realistic alternative for young people to get home without getting behind the wheel. “Most of the kids aren’t out of the establishments at 1:15 in the morning,” he said. “My worry is they’re left with making other decisions that may not be responsible decisions. A $75 cab fare back to Surrey is not a particularly realistic option.” TransLink officials aren’t commenting but they’ve repeatedly rejected calls for later rapid

transit service over the years, saying SkyTrain must shut down for a few hours overnight for maintenance and cleaning. “We’re only talking about two nights a week,” Falcon said. Falcon had no clear explanation of why he didn’t mandate TransLink to implement later SkyTrain hours in the eight years that he was transportation minister – as he did in forcing the authority to start installing turnstiles. “There was some resistance,” he said. “I had resistance to the idea of putting in faregates too. I had to press pretty hard to make that happen.” Falcon isn’t endorsing another demand for later transit service – this time one being spearheaded by the bus drivers’ union, which wants more NightBuses added to cover transit demand after SkyTrain stops running. “There are buses available and there are drivers available,” said Don MacLeod, president of Canadian Auto Workers local 111. “It’s just a case of government getting additional funds to TransLink to deliver that service.” Adding an extra 50 hours of service every Friday and

Union also demanding more NightBuses by Jeff Nagel

Saturday night – enough to add at least one bus to each of the 12 existing NightBus routes – would cost another $560,000 based on TransLink’s cost of $108 per service hour. NightBuses run until well after 3 a.m. but MacLeod said they’re now often full because of the increased demand, leaving would-be riders stranded at stops. He supports longer SkyTrain service too, but says it needs to be done in combination with more buses, which he said are more flexible and can serve different routes. SkyTrain hours have long been a popular topic online. A Facebook group started three years ago to petition for 24-hour SkyTrain service has grown to more than 32,000 members. The SkyTrain system here isn’t the only one in the world that stops running overnight. The last trains on Montreal’s Metro roll between 12:15 and 1:30 a.m. depending on the line. Trains don’t run past 1:30 a.m. on Toronto’s subway or the London Underground on weekends either.

TransLink picks smart card maker

Company used by transit systems in U.K. and U.S. by Jeff Nagel THE OPERATOR of London’s Oyster card

payment system has been picked to design TransLink’s new smart cards and install turnstiles at SkyTrain and SeaBus stations. Cubic Transportation Systems, along with IBM Canada, are the preferred bidders who now advance to talks to finalize a contract likely worth around $170 million. Besides the Oyster system, Cubic runs transit smart card systems in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami and Brisbane, Australia, as well as the ticket vending machines on the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines. The federal and provincial governments are providing $70 million towards the costs. The system is to open in 2013 and Cubic/ IBM would operate it for 10 years. TransLink has not yet released an estimate of the operating fees it will pay. Riders would load cash on their card and their account would be automatically debited.

The system can charge by the exact distance travelled, but various fare options are possible, including ones giving unlimited travel for a certain number of days. The bid had some high-profile help. Ken Dobell, a former special adviser to premier Gordon Campbell and former TransLink CEO, lobbied on behalf of Cubic after then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon directed TransLink in 2007 to adopt turnstiles and smart cards. Some critics contend the system will be costly, won’t stop fare cheats and could be vulnerable to hackers. TransLink officials say it will make the transit system more convenient and efficient, deterring fare evasion while providing a stream of data on transit use planners can use to optimize routes and schedules. “This electronic card and gate system will create a safer environment for transit users,” transportation minister Shirley Bond said. The smart card’s name is to be announced in January. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Warehouse heroes Volunteers are the heart of the Surrey Food Bank by Boaz Joseph

hey’re the heart of the place – the people who volunteer, day in and day out, to help the thousands of clients at the Surrey Food Bank. They come from all walks of life: Retirees, immigrants, people recovering from addictions, regular working folks, former food bank clients, the handicapped, people representing corporations and philanthropic groups, those ordered to do community service, students on reading breaks, even parents who bring their teenagers to educate them about life. They’ll sort incoming donations, register and serve clients, drive vans and forklifts, clean the floors and stock shelves. They have different faces, come from a variety of backgrounds and have numerous reasons for volunteering, but they keep the food bank alive so it can help the lessfortunate.

The ﬁrst welcome

enjamin Tammi might be the first person a new visitor will have a long conversation with at the Surrey Food Bank. He mans the registration kiosk, welcoming new clients and taking their information. With a background in retail, he does his best to make people feel welcome and comfortable. “Sometimes they feel ashamed that they need assistance so I try to be friendly and helpful. I smile and treat them as if it were a normal transaction.” With severn weeks of volunteering behind

him, Tammi wishes he’d started earlier, but he was too busy looking for work. Now that he has a new full-time job at an art supply story, he has negotiated with his new boss to allow him to work one day each weekend to free him for one weekday at the Surrey Food Bank. Tammi, 39, says he expected more downtrodden people to be clients before he started volunteering, but now realizes that with a weak economy, a wider variety of people need assistance. “So many people come through and they look like just anybody else, like you’re riding on the SkyTrain on the way to work. They look just like you and me.”

that help the food bank, Buchi says it’s important for schools, especially in richer neighbourhoods, to send students to volunteer and learn more about aspects of society they’re not normally exposed to. She also notes that despite the help that the food bank provides, there are gaps in what the hampers can provide for people – there is simply not enough nutrition. “Some people may be out there that aren’t

familiar with how the food bank operates and think, ‘Oh yeah, we’re supplying people with all this food,’ but that’s not true. It’s a long way from being true. It (only) supplements them.” But the dedication is there, especially for regular volunteers, Buchi says. “You see that you’re helping so many people every time you’re here.” See VOLUNTEER Page 14

Bundles for babies

oretta Buchi says there’s no way to understand how food banks work without volunteering and seeing the entire process, front to back. The retired teacher, 61, has been volunteering more than a year and a half. Although her school actively collected donations for the food bank, it never went to “the next step” – volunteering. That fact made Buchi fill out an application, and brought her to help stock hampers for the Tiny Bundles program, which provides extra nutrition and supplies for expectant mothers and their babies up to the age of two. Once a week, she gives out diapers, formula, cereals, toys, books and even clothes to clients. A keen observer of the variety of volunteers

Volunteer: ‘I’m part of the family’ From page 13

The drivers

n a Tuesday that is expected to set records for cold in late November, Gavin Motion and Tina Trewern pull the Surrey Food Bank van to a stop in front of a one-level house in Cedar Hills. They bring the tenant, a man living alone in the rear basement, his hamper, which includes salad, bread, apples, yogurt, cereal, pop and two cartons of seasonal egg nog.

After he signs his papers, they’re off to their second of seven afternoon stops making deliveries for the Hampers 2 Your Home (H2YH) program, which serves people who have mobility issues that keep them from coming to the food bank by themselves. At the second stop, Mike Ransome opens the door to Motion and Trewern, happy that the paperwork isn’t too demanding for a new client – and then jokes about his long hair to the delivery people. With a laugh, they’re off to the next one.

Motion and Trewern work for, respectively, VersaCold and EV Logistics, two companies that are at the forefront of the H2YH program. Both companies volunteer one driver per week, and they go in pairs. While this is Trewern’s first day, (her company has more than 300 drivers to choose from for the food bank), Motion has been doing this about once a month for five years – his company has four set drivers who alternate for the food runs. Technically, it’s a regular paid afternoon at

work for Motion, but he knows it’s important. “I find it difficult to be in a period of time that we actually need food banks. The need seems to be as great now as it did five years ago, if not more. “VersaCold has always been a great supporter of this food bank,” he adds.

The ‘warehouse hero’

here isn’t anything Ken Keyes hasn’t done in his 14 years of volunteering at the Surrey Food Bank. He starts to list them

before being interrupted by a co-worker: Moving bread, removing garbage, stocking fridges, making recycling runs, replacing toilet paper ... Keyes, 51, calls himself the “warehouse hero.” Wearing a Santa hat, he looks as comfortable as one could be in what he calls his second home. Does he believe in Santa? “If course I do. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here.” When he’s not at the food bank (or bowling), he volunteers each Wednesday at Servants Anonymous

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Volunteer Ken Keyes does a little bit of everything at the Surrey Food Bank. Society, an organization that supports sexually exploited women. At the Surrey Food Bank, he’s there the rest of his weekdays – four days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving high-fives while moving from one task to the next. “I’m part of the family. I love it here.”

Volunteering is a treat

nne Henneau’s realm is the Guest Room, where clients can pick up the sweeter (and saltier) things: The cookies, granola bars, puddings and crackers – although the daily variety varies. Earlier in the day, there might be cakes or pies donated from the by local grocery stores, dated, but not yet expired. For some food bank clients, cakes coincide with their birthdays. Days like those are treats for Henneau, a retired school secretary who has been volunteering weekly at the food bank for a year. It was her first choice of place for volunteering, says the 63-year-old. “The school I worked for had a lot of people

Criminal cases at risk

Charlene Hood NOTARY PUBLIC WILLS, MORTGAGES PROPERTY TRANSFERS POWER OF ATTORNEY

Many will be tossed due to shortage of judges: Report by Jeff Nagel MORE ACCUSED criminals will walk free – particularly in Surrey – because there simply aren’t enough judges sitting in B.C. Provincial Court to hear their cases. That’s the warning from a new report released by the court that says the chronic shortage of judges is putting thousands of criminal cases at risk of being thrown out due to unacceptable delays. “The current inventory of uncompleted cases is growing markedly, as is the delay for all case types other than youth court prosecutions,” according to the report titled Justice Delayed: A Report of the Provincial Court of British Columbia Concerning Judicial Resources. “Increasingly, the Court is failing to meet its legal obligation to provide timely access to justice.” There are now 16,000 cases that have been before the courts for more than 180 days, it says. “While it is not possible to predict the number of cases that will be stayed for unreasonable delay, thousands of cases are at risk.”

Surrey faces the worst delays in the province, with 15-month waits for a half-day adult criminal trial – far in excess of the provincial standard that 90 per cent of such trials proceed within six months. In 2002, the provincial government closed down the Delta provincial courthouse, adding Delta’s 2,000 adult and youth criminal cases to Surrey’s 13,000. That brought the total number of cases above the maximum the Surrey courthouse was designed to accommodate, a problem then-Attorney General Geoff Plant said could be overcome through improved efficiencies. At the time the courthouse was closed, Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford warned cases would probably take longer to get to trial. For two-day criminal trials, Surrey, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek and Terrace face delays of 15 to 16 months – compared to the standard of eight months – and at least a year in Kelowna, Smithers, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Chilliwack and Vernon-Penticton. In Surrey alone, the report says, it would take three more full-time

judges hearing strictly criminal trials two years to restore wait times to appropriate levels. There are 17 fewer judges than in 2005 and the current 130 judges aren’t able to keep up with the number of incoming cases, the report says. Compared to 2005, there were 900 fewer trial days scheduled in 2010 and there will be 1,600 fewer next year unless more judges are appointed. Adult criminal cases aren’t the only ones affected. “Over the last year there has been a dramatic increase in the delay and volume of uncompleted civil, family and child protection cases,” the report says, Individual judges have also spoke out in recent months about the lengthy system delays that have forced them to toss out cases ranging from impaired driving to drug dealing. More judges alone won’t cure the backlog – the report says more prosecutors, defence lawyers, clerks, sheriffs and court space will also be required. jnagel@surreyleader.com

PLANS ARE underway to create a

new inside passing lane for harness racing at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. Proponents say it will make horse races more exciting to watch and bet on. A passing lane allows horses that are blocked in an opportunity to break out from behind the leaders during the final stretch. “It’s an issue our horsemen have been supporting and we’re going forward with a plan,” director of racing Jackson Wittup said. “It would give more horses a shot at winning.” It’s a return to form for the historic harness racing facility, which originally opened as a half-mile track under the name Cloverdale Raceway. When the racetrack expanded to a five-eighths of a mile oval in 1996, it lost the passing lane, said Dan Jukich, simulcast director at Fraser Downs. The plan is to have the new, inside passing lane in place for the Jan. 7 races – the start of the

2011 schedule. “The horsemen wanted it, and we’re going to put it in,” he said. A designated pylon is set up at the start of the stretch, indicating the beginning of the inside passing lane. Nobody can go inside until the final lap, and there are strict rules drivers must follow. When the inside lane is in place, horses will be able to move to the inside lane and have a better opportunity to win. “It’s going to make the races more exciting. There will be a better finish,” Jukich said. “Now, when they get boxed in they’ve got no place to go.” The passing lane will be in place in time for the Western Regional Driving Championships Saturday, Feb. 26 at Fraser Downs. The regionals are expected to draw drivers and horses from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. and decide which two winners go onto the nationals at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino in Charlottetown, PEI, on May 7. editor@cloverdalereporter.com

Whitecaps seek practice spot Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond in the running for seven-ﬁeld soccer site by Kevin Diakiw THE VANCOUVER White-

caps FC is shopping three cities for a multi-milliondollar practice facility. The Leader reported in September that the Whitecaps soccer franchise was in discussions with the city about locating a huge soccer practice facility at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. The city-owned property is currently home to a harness racing track, casino and the annual Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition, held in May. The Whitecaps cur-

rently play games at Swangard Stadium in Vancouver and train at SFU in Burnaby. Surrey wants to move that training facility here. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts would not discuss specifics, but confirmed talks were ongoing. “At this point in time, all I can say is we’re in discussions,” Watts said. It now appears both Burnaby and Richmond are also being considered. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the club has been eyeing the city’s Central Valley – already home to several artificial

turf fields and other sports and fitness complexes and the proposed Multi-sport Centre for Excellence – which would be ideal due to its central and highly accessible location, just off Highway 1. “The problem for us is our area is highly public in nature,” Corrigan said. “We’ve been focused mainly on making sure there’s access to the public to Central Valley. I think their proposal would involve having

eight to 12 hectares – that could accommodate the complex. Lenarduzzi said the investment would actually be up to $30 million, including $17.5 million already committed by the province. Asked when the training facility is needed, Lenarduzzi said: “The timeline was yesterday. We would like to conclude something as soon as possible.” — with files from Black Press

a number of dedicated fields for the Whitecaps.” Like Surrey’s Fraser Downs, Burnaby owns the vast majority of available land in the area being shopped by the Whitecaps. “It would be unlikely we would sell to a private interest, but never say never,” Corrigan told Black Press. Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said the team has its ears open to any city with a large enough parcel of land –

SURREY WILL receive nearly $103,000 in Commu-

nity Gaming Grants – a share of $853,700 distributed to groups provincewide. An announcement made by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General last Thursday lists several Surrey and Delta organizations, including the Surrey Christmas Bureau Society, which received $45,000 – the most of any local groups. “The hard work of volunteers and contributions to those in need of the Surrey Christmas Bureau Society is vital this time of year,” says Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer. “These gaming grants support great Surrey organizations, which strengthen and give back to our community.” Others receiving grants include: • Surrey Female Hockey Association ($18,300) • Surrey Knights Swim Club ($16,000) • Arts Council Of Surrey ($10,000) • Erma Stephenson Elementary School Parent Advisory Council ($9,300) • Young People’s Opera Society ($3,000) • East Kensington Elementary Parent Advisory Council ($1,100) Delta also received some funding, with the North Delta Baseball Association getting $29,220.

Two one-sided wins for Premier Division team

Offensive attack from United by Rick Kupchuk EXPLODING FOR 11 goals in just

two games, the Surrey United Firefighters have moved to within two points of the Premier Division leaders. United breezed by Akal FC last Wednesday (Dec. 15) in a makeup contest at Newton Athletic Park, then ripped ICSF Inter 6-2 Saturday afternoon in Burnaby. The defending Vancouver Metro Soccer League champions, Surrey improved its record to 12-2-3 (won-tied-lost), trailing only the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves in the Premier Division with nine games to play. United took a 2-0 lead after 45 minutes against Akal, with Rizal Ganief scoring from the penalty spot after he was fouled, then Steve McAuley heading home the second goal. Mason Webb made it 3-0 early in the second half, then after Akal’s Desmond Tachie spoiled the shutout bid, United defender Cam Wilson set up Angus Burke to make it 4-1 before scoring the fifth goal himself. In Burnaby Sunday, United raced to a 2-0 lead after just 10 minutes on goals by Ganief and Burke. Andrew Proctor was in on the next two Surrey goals, scoring the third then setting up Wilson for a 4-1 lead at half time. ICSF Inter opened the second half with a goal, but United responded with tallies from Ganief and Jeff Clarke to close out the scoring. United, which has a league-best 47 goals scored in 17 matches, will host ICST Pegasus in an allSurrey contest on Jan. 8 at 2 p.m. at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Pegasus, which won just two games in the first two months of the season, now has five victories and a tie in their past six starts,

Midget team chasing top spot in provincial league by Rick Kupchuk HAVING FINISHED one

position out of the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, the Valley West Hawks set a goal of qualifying for the postseason tournament. Two-thirds of the way through the current B.C. Major Midget League (MML) season, the Hawks are not only on track to hit that target, they might just finish atop the 11-team league. Regardless, this season will go down as the best in the short seven-year history of the team. Through 26 games, the group of 15-17 year-olds are riding an unprecedented 11-game win streak into the Christmas break. They sit second in the MML, just two points back of the defending champion Vancouver Giants. And next week, they will be in Calgary for the Mac’s Tournament, a 33-year-old event that invites the best Midget hockey teams from Western Canada for a 25-team competition. More importantly, the Hawks lead the seventh-place Okanagan Rockets by 17 points. Six teams qualify for the playoffs in the MML, a league in which the 11 teams are from designated zones. The Hawks are the Vancouver South West zone team, with players drawn from the Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley minor hockey associations. After winning the first four games of the season, and outscoring the opposition 22-2, the Hawks slumped through the month of October, going 2-4-4 (won-lost-tied). They turned it around after their bye week, tying their first game back against the Greater Vancouver Canadians,

Last weekend, the Hawks travelled to Prince George for two games with the Cariboo Cougars, a team with which they were tied for second place. Neither game proved to be much of a contest.

A pair of Surrey writers share some memorable holiday stories

A very merry Christmas S by Margaret Deefholts

everal years ago, just a week before Christmas, my sister Phyllis acquired a new oven. Her twenty-year old cooker had begun to wheeze ominously every time she swivelled the control knobs, so an upgrade was in order. The new stove was state of the art. It had a built in microwave oven, a convection oven and an electronic pad with sensors that buzzed discreetly, lights that blinked, and pale green displays that told you everything short of the next day’s weather forecast. Christmas Day, in our family followed a pattern. After morning church service, my sister, her husband Derek, joined us - my parents, my husband, myself and our two kids - for a festive brunch at our house in Surrey. After the ritual of unwrapping the gifts stacked under our Margaret Christmas tree, Phyllis and Derek, would Deefholts scurry off to get the turkey into the oven, so that it cooked in time for our Christmas dinner get-together at their home. We had friends from Britain spending Christmas with us that year and after brunch, we watched the Queen’s Christmas message on TV and then lounged around, chatting. My sister seemed in no rush to get home. “What about the turkey?” I asked her. She threw me a smug glance. “No problem! The

oven automatic timing thingy is on, and right now that little ole bird is sizzling and bubbling away in its juices.” She waved an airy hand. “Relax kiddo!” At 4:30 we all drove over to Phyl and Derek’s home. Noses twitching with anticipation we walked in the front door. But alas, no aroma of cooked turkey greeted us. Phyllis’ face went the colour of bleached paper. “Oh no!” She wailed. She opened the oven door and - yes, you guessed it! The turkey – all thirty-five-plus pounds of it – sat there pink, pimply and stone cold. The door bell rang. In surged more family - Phyllis’s and Derek’s children, their spouses and kids. “Merry Christmas!” the grandchildren yelled, throwing their arms around everyone. My

sister, her expression still registering unprintable thoughts about her gleaming new stove, hugged them distractedly. Oven coaxed into life, tree denuded of gifts and bar opened for all takers, my sister poured herself a glass of wine. The children, supplied with generous amounts of Christmas cookies, candies, pop and chips, disappeared into the basement, whooping gleefully, to play with their new toys. The rest of us, fortified with rum punch, eggnog, brandy, ginger wine, and other assorted libations, gathered around the piano to sing Christmas carols. When we ran out of carols we belted out show tunes, and sing-along favourites, See PARTY / Page 33

A celebration to remember by Joei Carlton

e were not a religious family. Dinner Friday nights were the same as any other night except that there was no school the next day and before the last bite was swallowed we could all run out in different directions to find our friends. Although both my brothers had their Bar Mitzvah we did not attend Friday night or Saturday morning services. Holiday dinners, however, were another matter. It was a reason to get together with family - brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins. Chanukah 1950 was a very special holiday. That was the year my parents spent every spare penny they had saved to sponsor my father’s niece, Mitzi, her husband Jacob and their four year old daughter, Ruth, from Siberia, the harshest wasteland of Russia and bring them to Canada – the land of freedom and opportunity. When they arrived at our house that icy December afternoon in Montreal’s Outremont district my brother Harry and I were crouched on the floor in the living room. He was

teaching me the fine art of gambling while playing dreidel and relieving me of all my chocolate coins wrapped in gold paper as he won each spin of the top with Hebrew letters on it. Before the entire mesh bag of delicious treats could disappear into his mouth or pocket, if his mouth was still full from the last game, we were called to dinner. There wasn’t an extra inch on or around the table. The English speaking sat on one side, the strange foreigners on the other. My father sat beaming at his niece, speaking Rumanian to his newly-found family while my mother loaded the table with roasted chickens, mashed potatoes, boiled carrots, parsnips and peas, platters of potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce and bowls of Rumanian-style roasted eggplant mashed with onion and green pepper. Except for Ruth and me, whose plate was filled by whoever sat nearby, everyone took what was in front of them, heaped their plate and passed it. Wine glasses were filled to the brim with Manischewitz wine. Joei Carlton I am the baby of our immediate family, aged six. Mona was eleven years old. Harry, the bane of my parent’s existence, was sixteen and Nathan was eighteen. I sat next to my favorite brother, Harry. He was my after school babysitter because both our parents worked. He took me to baseball games when his friends were too busy to go. He was the wild one who worked as a news agent on the train and took me along with him to Cornwall, Ontario from time to time to give our mother a break. Harry, the same brother who was now whispering in my ear “I’ll give you a dime for every glass of wine you drink.” See BET / Page33 He poured. I drank.

Party: Dinner less important From page 32 or ribald versions of campfire songs. Our English visitors, also happily lubricated, joined the act. Digby recited “Albert and the Lion” a-la Stanley Holloway. His wife, Sarah, had a go at Carmen Miranda: “Ay-yi-yi-yi love you verrry much” she warbled, swivelling her hips and rolling her eyes. My sister, who by then was past caring about the turkey, blasted her way through a Lisa Minnelli impersonation of “New York, New York.” The grandchildren, drawn by the sounds of adult merriment came upstairs and were co-opted into an uproarious, if rather tipsy, game of charades. Between acts we consumed nuts, chocolate mints, shortbread cookies, Christmas cake and spicy Mexican tacos. A platter of cold cuts and cheese disappeared faster than a con on the lam. The turkey, finally emerged from the oven around midnight. By then, we’d Boom-si-Daisied, done the Lambeth Walk

and taken a stab at the Can-Can. Music turned up several decibels, we’d also jived, cha-cha-ed and done the Limbo Rock and Macarena twice over. “Yoo-hoo! Dinner is served,” my sister called out, beating an empty can with a spoon. Her announcement was drowned out by a lusty “onetwo-three and a kick” as we Conga’d through the living room, caterpillared our way into the dining room, and circled the table three times before being prevailed upon to “puleez sit down!” Our friends from England send us Christmas cards every year. The last one had a note saying that if Phyllis promised to use her high-tech stove again, they’d be back here – faster than a Canadian turkey takes to cook. Surrey’s Margaret Deefholts is the author of Haunting India, a compilation of short fiction, travel and memoir. In addition to short fiction, Deefholts is a professional travel writer and photographer and is published regularly in magazines and community newspapers. www.margaretdeefholts.com

Bet: Brother’s memory not so clear on money owed From page 32 My parents never noticed until it was too late. Just before hiccupping, giggling and cracking my head on the plate under the mashed potatoes I heard my mother yelling something. Could that have been the time we discovered that red wine produces the migraine

headaches that I have been plagued with for over sixty years? I hope not but I still maintain that Harry owes me sixty cents...PLUS interest. He doesn’t remember.

Fox, Subway help food bank

Friday December 24 2010

Donors encouraged to ‘bleed and feed’ as banks double up

RADIO STATION 99.3 The Fox and Subway Restaurants have

raised $44,000 and 29,832 lbs. of food for the Surrey Food Bank. The collection took place from Dec. 8-12 at the Fleetwood Safeway store, where The Fox broadcasted live to collect non-perishable food, cash and credit card donations to the food bank. Special thanks go out to Lower Mainland Mazda dealers, whose in-dealership drive brought in more than 4,000 lbs. of food. Online donations to support the Surrey Food Bank, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and the Share Society in the Tri-Cities can be made at www.cfox.com

BLOOD DONORS are invited to join

Canadian Blood Services staff and volunteers in donating a non-perishable food item when visiting a blood donor clinic this holiday season. “We recognize the holidays are an extremely busy time of year so we’re encouraging our supporters to spend their precious time doing two good deeds at once – bleed and feed,” said Ed Yee, director of Donor and Clinic Services for Canadian Blood Services in the B.C. and Yukon region. Food collection boxes will be supplied at all B.C. blood donor clinics until Dec. 31. Food collected at each clinic will go to local community food banks. In Surrey, food collected will be donated

to the Surrey Food Bank. “By filling two kinds of banks at once – the blood bank and the food bank – you’ll help make the season brighter for even more people in need,” said Don Armstrong, president of Food Banks British Columbia. Blood is not only needed for trauma victims over the holiday season, but for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments, cardiac surgeries, and organ transplants – procedures that all routinely take place around the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Throughout the province, Canadian Blood Services needs to collect

10,750 donations to keep up with hospital demand – that’s 5,900 in the Lower Mainland area alone. Donors can give in Surrey at the following clinics: • Surrey Blood Donor Clinic, #10, 6830 King George Blvd. (Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. • Cloverdale Catholic Parish, 17475 59 Ave., on Dec. 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888236-6283) to book an appointment to give. For more information on the Canadian Blood Services, visit www. blood.ca

United we smile The City of Surrey’s 2010 United Way Campaign broke its own record with $218,430 collected by the city’s employees. ‘I’m proud of our employees who have been enthusiastically supporting the United Way for many years,’ said mayor Dianne Watts. ‘The money will be used to support important programs that will beneﬁt children, youth and seniors in our community.’

A kick on Christmas THE SURREY UNITED Soccer Club was the recipient of an

early Christmas gift from Chevrolet. The Making Dreams Possible program presented the club a Community Club Coaching Grant of $2,000 for coach training and development activities. The Surrey United Soccer Club was one of fifty recipients across Canada to be awarded the grant.

Christmas kindness

he PE Leadership 10 class recently held its 13th-annual Community Christmas Dinner at Tamanawis Secondary School. Students provided a hot turkey dinner, music and holiday spirit for 300 low-income people from the community. Entertainment was provided by the school choir and school jazz band, as well as a performance by Bhangra Matics. After the dinner, which was provided by culinary students, Santa arrived to give gifts to the younger guests. Sponsors of the event included Nakodar Meat Shop, H&R Productions, Grand Taj Banquet hall, Schill Insurance, Sunshine Hill Dental Clinic, Coast Capital Savings, Envision Financial Services, MakoBoxes and the Shandil Family.

Blanket coverage by realtors

Sounds of the holidays Cap West Quartet (Paul Leszczynski, James Choi, John Nicholson and Thomas Hoeller) perform at the recent Heart for the Holidays event at Guildford Town Centre. The fundraiser included giveaways, rafﬂes and store discounts to raise money for Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Surrey realtor Jenny Yeung and a volunteer from Surrey Urban Mission sort donations.

FACING PREDICTIONS for severe winter weather this year, the 16thannual Realtors Care Blanket Drive received its most overwhelming response to date – 5,186 bags of clothing, coats and blankets for dozens of charities across the Lower Mainland. Surrey realtors collected 535 bags, and White Rock/South Surrey realtors collected 295 bags. In Surrey, Terasen Gas employees again held their own minicampaign, collecting 69 bags of donations. “The Blanket Drive has always relied on the efforts of our volunteers and the support of our communities,” said Jake Moldowan, President of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. “Seeing a response of this magnitude, I think everyone involved across the Lower Mainland deserves a pat on the back.” Since its inception in 1994, the Blanket Drive has collected more than 27,000 bags of donations.

CLARKE, Dr. Daphne Angela (1924-2010) Daphne died on Wednesday, December 8th at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Daphne was predeceased by her parents and her sister Dorothy Brugman (Herman). Her sole surviving relative is her nephew Dennis Brugman, his wife Joyce, and their daughter Maureen (Mo). She leaves to mourn her passing a wide circle of friends, and former colleagues from the Delta School District where Daphne served as a school psychologist (PhD, 1974, University of Oregon). Daphne will be particularly missed by her special friends Dr. Patricia Crehan, Dorothy and Merle Gardner, and Vivian Corse. Her beloved dog “Truffles” has been adopted by a close friend of Patricia’s and is reportedly bonding very well with his new “Doggy Mum”. In accordance with Daphne’s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Instead, there will be a gathering of her friends and colleagues at Daphne’s home sometime in January 2011 to share stories and memories. Daphne made clear that she wanted this get-together to be “a cheerful and happy occasion”. In the event of inclement weather, the gathering would be re-scheduled.
