Hand broken in melee

10 sought in officer assaultTracy HolmesStaff Reporter

White Rock police are asking for public help identifying a group of approximately 10 men after an officer was assaulted on Marine Drive last weekend.

Staff Sgt. Lesli Roseberry said the offi-cer suffered a broken hand in the scuffle, which occurred around 2:15 a.m. Sunday in the 14900-block of Marine Drive as he was attempting to arrest an intoxicated individual.

The man shoved the officer and fled across the street, Roseberry said. The offi-cer pursued, and was struggling to get the subject under control when he noticed a large group of men running toward him, Roseberry said.

“One of these males essentially body-checked my officer, causing him to lose his grip on the original subject, causing him to fall to the ground,” Roseberry said.

While the officer was able to right him-self, the group surrounded him, Roseberry said. One grabbed the officer’s face; another grabbed him from behind, she said.

Managing to free one hand, the officer radioed for assistance and drew his gun.

The group, including the original subject, fled.

“He obviously feared for his safety, he feared bodily harm,” Roseberry said. “It’s a scary situation for any offi-cer to face.”

None of the men involved has been identified, and Roseberry is hopeful anyone who witnessed the altercation will come forward.

The injured officer has been a Mountie for about three years, she said. In a cast up to his elbow, he is expected to make a full recovery. He will be off-duty “for an extended period of time,” Roseberry said.

Asked if the officer made the right deci-sion when he pursued the intoxicated sus-pect unassisted, Roseberry said such deci-sions are made “on a dime.” She noted her officer – whom she would not identify – was not working alone, but happened to be alone at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact the detachment at 778-593-3600.

Surrey Food Bank continues to grow, and while it’s good that people in need are

able to supplement their grocery budgets, it’s a sign of the times that many working people need to use its services.

Back in the early 1980s, when the food bank started, it was seen as a short-term necessity at a time of high unemployment, high interest rates and a generally unsettled economic situation. There were needy people in Surrey and there were others who wanted to help.

As a reporter, I covered the meetings that led to the food bank’s founding.

In the early days, most of those who received help were either on welfare or unemployment benefits. People who were working had enough money to get by, although many had challenges, especially if they were paying 20 per cent interest on their mortgages.

In fact, early recipients had to show proof that they were UIC or welfare recipients in order to get food, and there were also complaints that some working people were taking advantage of the generosity of others.

The economic difficulties of the early 1980s stretched into 1986 – far longer than most people had

expected. By that time, the food bank was well-established. I was asked to serve on the board for

several years in the late 1980s, and learned a lot about how it operated and what the needs were.

By that time, it was pretty obvious that the food bank was here to stay. There were just too many people who needed some help. People with babies and small children were particularly vulnerable.

In the 1990s, there were also economic challenges. They weren’t

as difficult as the early 1980s, but it all depended on each individual’s situation. Surrey was growing rapidly, with far more new immigrants and people who moved to Surrey because they could afford the rent. The need kept growing.

The same has been the case in the first decade of the 21st century. While there was unbridled economic growth until 2008, rising housing costs have taken a big bite out of people’s incomes.

Many who are working are barely getting by. Those who work with homeless people say that there are many people one or two paycheques away from being homeless.

A recent map displayed by the food bank shows that people who

use its services live all over the city, although people in South Surrey and White Rock use the services of Sources White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank. And there are needy people in that area of Surrey, too, despite what many people think.

Surrey Food Bank operates depots in North Delta and Cloverdale, where there are also needy people, but the bulk of clients come to the distribution centre in Whalley.

“There is not a single neighbourhood that isn’t represented on the map,” says food bank executive director Marilyn Herrmann. “And when we talk about ‘these are your neighbours,’ food bank clients are not drug-addicted, homeless and lazy people, these are your neighbours that live on your street. We just proved it.”

The needs of people who use the food bank don’t begin and end during the Christmas season.

This Christmas season, consider giving to one of Surrey’s food banks – and doing so all year long.

A couple of extra items in a collection box at the grocery store, or a cheque to the societies that operate the food banks, will go a long way towards making the city a better place for everybody.

Fencing originally slated to enclose a por-tion of Semiahmoo Park may soon restrict access to the entire Marine Drive property, Semiahmoo First Nation officials confirmed this week.

“It’s become very clear that people don’t understand it’s our land, and that we need to look after it and protect it and take care of it, and we’re not able to do that without a fence,” band councillor Joanne Charles said this week, six days after announcing 10 acres would be temporarily fenced due to a growing sinkhole first discovered in 2009.

“People still aren’t getting the whole respect thing, so the family were disappointed with the actions and so we are getting an esti-mate at this time for the remainder of the property.”

Work to fence off the east side of the park got underway Dec. 15. The now-15-square-foot sinkhole is believed to be a result of col-lapsing underground wooden infrastructure.

An environmental assessment is hoped to clarify the extent of the problem.

Charles said Tuesday that ongoing chal-lenges with irresponsible pet owners had nothing to do with last week’s fence deci-sion.

But it is what’s driving recent signage that for-bids dogs in the park, and the latest consideration to extend the six-foot-high boundary around the entire 20-acre site.

“There is a change of plans because everybody is going over (to the park’s west side),” she said. “That’s an archaeologic sensitive area. There’s going to be too much traffic going through.”

Charles said she doesn’t expect a decision this week on extending the fence, or as to whether any of the chain-link structure will be permanent. Park wash-rooms are expected to remain open.

Charles said while the majority of people who have listened to the logic behind the initial fence decision have been understand-ing, there are those who have expressed opposition.

Last week, one irate dog owner tore down snow fencing that was erected around the sinkhole itself, Charles said.

“She said a lot of negative, racial things to our guys,” Charles said. “Swore up and down and stormed off into the area where she wasn’t allowed to be… ripped the fenc-ing down on her way through.”

A few of the new signs prohibiting dogs on the park’s west side have disappeared, and property-line stakes have been pulled up, Charles said, noting the band is paying for the work. Cost of the first fencing phase is about $30,000.

Assessments needed to determine the extent of the sinkhole problem will cost “an arm and a leg,” she said.

The park is not the only local site that’s experienced sinkholes, Charles noted. She said provincial parks officials told her last week that three sinkholes had been identi-fied at Peace Arch Park, on former reserve land. It is believed a collapsing wooden storm drain may be the root of those sink-holes, Charles said.

Charles reiterated safety is paramount in work on the park’s east side.

“Somebody could be walking along – kids could be running along – and fall into a hole,” she said. “Until we identify where they’re at… the best thing to do is make sure we don’t have people accessing it that could possibly get hurt.

“We need to make sure we’re being con-scious for public safety. We need to find out what’s in there.”

15 counts against RCMP constable

Officer charged with trafficking, firearms offences Kevin DiakiwBlack Press

A Surrey RCMP officer has been charged with 15 criminal offenses, including breach of trust, possession of property obtained by a crime and trafficking in marijuana.

Const. David Clarke, who has been a Mountie for 4½ years, was formally charged late Monday, and made his first appearance in court Tuesday morning.

All 15 charges relate to offences that court documents allege took place in Chilliwack. Police were alerted to the activity Oct. 1.

“The charges you see today are the result of the determination by Crown counsel that these are the appropriate charges in view of all the circumstances,” said Chief Supt. Fraser MacRae, the officer in charge of Surrey detachment.

Clarke has been suspended since the allega-

tions came to light, and will remain so until all of the criminal and internal matters have been dealt with, MacRae said.

Clarke is due back in Surrey Provincial Court Jan. 18.

It is not the only court matter the traffic con-stable has been named in this year. In a civil suit filed May 25, Clarke and other officers are accused of conducting an “unreasonable” search “without lawful authorization.”

The suit was filed by South Surrey’s Gordon and Jane Bader, after their Delta firearms-training business and home were searched and family members arrested.

Gordon Bader is a retired Vancouver Police officer. In 1988, he started Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, a weapons training facility at 7198 Vantage Way in Delta.

The Baders are seeking unspecified com-

pensation for alleged wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, trespass, assault and battery, negligence and malicious prosecution as well as loss of income, humility and distress.

This week’s criminal charges against Clarke originated from a public complaint.

Surrey RCMP media liaison Cpl. Drew Grainger described such situations as disheart-ening for other officers.

“When we hear allegations like this against one of our members, it’s very disappointing to us,” he said.

MacRae noted such allegations are “very rare.” They will be taken seriously, he said.

Other charges laid against Clarke Monday include possession of a prohibited firearm, pos-session of a restricted firearm and possession of prohibited devices.

Local rail watchdogs Brian Lauder of SmartRail and Don Pit-cairn of Surrey United Naturists say they believe the most recent mudslide in Ocean Park is only one of several that have impinged on the safety of the BNSF line over the past week and a half.

And they believe poor drainage and unauthorized clearing of trees for views has led to the current instability of the slope between Crescent Beach and Ocean Park.

“I walked Crescent Rock Beach on Friday and there were about 300 cubic yards of debris on the beach – now there are 500,” Pit-cairn said on Monday. “It went from 20 dump trucks of material to 35.”

The most recent slide – directly below the 13100-block of 31 Ave – on Dec. 18 led to a 48-hour cancellation of Amtrak Seattle-to-Vancouver service.

Railway public affairs director Gus Melonas said safety inspec-tors found the slide was two to three feet in depth and 25 feet in length.

Freight service had contin-ued during the interruption, but Melonas said safety inspectors decided not to put rail passengers “in harm’s way” while slope stabil-ity was still in question.

Lauder, whose Crescent Beach home overlooks the BNSF line, wonders what will be done to keep residents out of harm’s way should

a slide derail a freight train.“They won’t let the Amtrak go

by, but they’ll let a freight train go by with dangerous chemicals,” he said.

He said that while the Amtrak suspension was in place this week, he counted nine chlorine cars, two containing sodium hydroxide, and one liquid natural-gas car on a southbound train – not including other cars on which information about contents has been blacked out as an anti-terrorist measure to minimize security risks.

But Lauder said the biggest risk is from the soil instability.

He said he has heard the com-position of the ridge is primarily “packed sand with dirt on top and a lot of underground springs,” and he wonders what the City of Sur-rey is doing to ensure it is stable.

Residents developing properties in the area, he said, have shown a tendency to clear trees and foli-age down the hillside to improve views, as well as install partial drainage pipes that can allow water to well up on the slope rather than run off to the beach.

The vibration of up to 16 trains a day, combined with water-sat-urated soil could be a recipe for disaster, he said.

“I don’t feel the city is doing its due diligence,” he said.

“Once you cut down trees, you get a fine, sure, but once it’s done it’s too late. Whatever root system was holding the slope in place and sucking in water – and trees suck in a lot of water – is gone.”

Requests for comment from Surrey staff and BNSF were unan-swered at press time.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?Why complicate the uncomplicated?Surely it isn’t news to any one that

Christmas is – as the name suggests – a Christian festival.

But it’s one that Christians – in true Christian spirit – have long been glad to lend to anyone, of any faith, who can find it in their hearts to embrace the sentiment of Peace On Earth, Goodwill To All.

If you can’t sign on to that, you must have issues indeed – and a poverty of spirit that has nothing to do with the size of your wallet.

Christmas also happens to coincide – as canny, consensus-building early churchmen knew well – with popular pagan celebrations of winter. Most of them were characterized by merrymaking, good fellowship and charity. If you wish, you can celebrate those ideas instead.

Christmas is very much what we want to make of it. It can be as miserable, as warm, as commercial or as Christian as we wish. It can manifest itself as a tawdry cornucopia, for sure, but it can also exist in the simplest of blessings.

When we express love – and warmth, charity, good fellowship and an awareness of a spirit larger and more luminous than the mundane minutiae of our lives – then we are truly in the spirit of Christmas. And the celebration of that spirit should be more important, and more fundamental, than the words we choose to describe it.

Yes, Christmas is an act of faith – just as every human endeavour is an act of faith. The miserliest Scrooge, the driest cynic, the most smug adherent of political correctness – even the most ardent atheist – is only expounding his or her own belief system.

Do we wish to carry the banner of possibility or the banner of impossibility? It’s up to each of us to decide.

Christmas can be a curse and an inconvenience – if we allow it to be.

But it can also be a wonderful lifting of the spirit, a sharing of joy, a reminder of basic values that we could, and should, uphold throughout the year.

And that’s why we wish you a Merry Christmas – and happy holidays, too, of course.

editorial

There’s a Biblical phrase that goes: Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Yet, we all do a lot of it.The criteria are infinite.

Height, weight, breadth of hips, depth of chest, length of leg, heft of bicep, colour of skin, jut of nose and point of gaze. What was said and what was forgotten. What was done, and what was not. What is common, and what is different.

And through this complex and often arbitrary process, we rank our fellow man – good, bad and everywhere in between. Much of it is guided and weighted by values and prejudices, faiths and fears, aspirations and expectations.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column poking fun at the commercialization of Christmas carols.

Some of the reader response was decidely judgmental, particularly from folks who reasoned that if I railed against being inundated by Christmas carols in shopping malls, grocery stores, and every other public place, then it obviously followed I was against Christmas, and Christmas trees, and concerts, and joy, and if you can imagine, against Christianity itself.

One emailer labelled me a God-hater. Another said I should “get lost.” And

yet another maintained I had no idea of the true meaning of Christmas.

No appreciation for Christmas?

I happen to like Christmas, actually.

Let me describe how it has unfolded in our small family for many years, and then you can judge whether all those condemnations were well placed.

Before Christmas, we write our cheques to our favourite charities, which support the homeless and hungry. We put

our bills in the Sally Ann kettles, and the firemen’s boots.

We gather our contributions for various drives, at workplace and school.

For weeks ahead, I’ve been making handmade gifts, in wood and shell and painted art, because I think that often the most cherished gifts are the ones that come from your hands and heart.

We decorate our house with boughs of fresh-cut cedar and fir and holly, and bring out family heirlooms that have been brought from Europe, such as carvings and handcrafted ornaments.

My mother makes authentic German cookies and cakes.

I cook a special Christmas Eve dinner; and we raise a toast to the two fathers who are no longer with us, and are missed even more at this time of year. It is a time of much happiness, and deep sadness.

And then, as my wife’s family tradition dictates, the Christmas story is read from the Bible. For many years, it was she who read the passages in German. Now it is my daughter who reads in English the story of how the Christ child came into the world.

On Christmas morning we gather by the real Christmas tree, open presents, share hugs, and feel incredibly fortunate to be where we are, enjoying what we have, because we know from personal and family experience, what it is like to have far less, in places that know no peace.

Then, we spend the day together, talking and cooking and just being together, eventually sitting down to a traditional roast goose.

And yes, through all of that is some Christmas music, because it’s the right time and place.

So that, dear defenders of sacred cows, or carols, as the case may be, is the meaning of my meaningless Christmas.

May I offer this, in the true spirit of the season, whether you be Christian or Muslim or Sikh or Buddhist, or none of the above:

Goodwill among all.Merry Christmas!Andrew Holota is editor of the

Obviously, this is about dogsEditor: Re: Semiahmoo First Nation fences off park, Dec. 17.

Does anyone really believe that the Semiahmoo First Nation band has put up a six-foot fence around Semiahmoo Park in response to a concern about a sinkhole?

Let’s go back to last summer when band members expressed their anger at dog owners “disrespecting” their property during a religious ceremony, or perhaps when the band opted to remove the children’s playground in their response to combat vandalism.

I agree the park needs to be regularly patrolled by the RCMP, and dog owners need to clean up after their pets, but feeding us a line about a sinkhole after erecting a six-foot, permanent structure meant to keep non-band members out is a way of telling others it is “private property” and, as non-band members, we are most certainly not welcome.

I only hope that while chaining off access to the beach, the band also removes the footbridge across the river that allows for regular criminal activity.

If you’re going to restrict access to your land, do it 100 per cent.R. Walker, White Rock

■I thought that the fence was not

because of the dogs, but because of an apparent sinkhole.

Interesting then that today there seems to be fence markers staked around the bandstand side of the park along with “No Dogs Allowed” signs posted everywhere!

Obviously this is about dogs.It’s very sad that the ignorance of

a few ruin it for the rest of us. The park will be sadly missed by all of the people that walk it daily – dog owners and non-dog owners alike – many of whom have been walking it for over a decade.

I expect property values along east Marine Drive will take a further hit too – no beach access, and what an eyesore! I will miss the nature. There is nothing uglier than a big chain-link fence.

The city should lease some or all of this land and erect a proper fenced off-leash dog park, like at Blackie Spit in Crescent Beach, with the rest of the park free for everyone to use.

And speaking of the poor dogs who will be heartbroken to lose their daily romping grounds, it’s an outrage that taxpayers pay all this money and have nowhere to walk their dog in White Rock.

It’s time for the city to step up.G. Strong, White Rock

■The fencing of Semiahmoo Park is

long overdue. It is used as a dog toilet.This is Semiahmoo land deserving

of respect in itself, as Campbell River drainage and the site of a graveyard.

It is now an area to ruin a pair of shoes or watch a pit bull attack Fluffy.Larry Robinson, White Rock

Lack of alcohol stats staggering Editor: Re: New impaired-driving penalties ‘working in White Rock,’ Dec. 17.

While we are all grateful for the 20 years Sgt. Roland Pierschke has put in making our society safer, I and most of my peer group feel he is off- base with his desire to completely curtail driving after consumption of any quantity of alcohol.

This law was introduced with absolutely no statistics presented to justify a higher than sober driver accident rate by .05 drivers.

When CKNW broadcaster Christy Clark asked the MADD president for statistics, he gave the standard are-you-smarter-than-a-fifth-grader response: “of course everyone knows you are impaired if you drink.”

But the issue is whether or not a statistically significant number of accidents are caused by drivers who have consumed one or two drinks compared to non-drinking motorists. Even the head of the Vancouver Police Union stated that they are now wasting their time ticketing drivers who don’t cause accidents and have no time to arrest the more impaired drivers who do.

Since ICBC and the police collect these stats but have not offered them to us, we can only conclude the

numbers do not support their case.We suspect these new laws were

introduced by the BC Liberals to give the impression they care about driving safety, but were actually implemented to raise massive amounts of cash for local governments. It’s kind of like saying anyone who eats doughnuts is obese, when in fact lots of us can have one or two without gaining any weight.

Many of us are wondering why we have let our lawmakers trample our civil rights like this with barely a whimper. As taxpayers, we are the employers, and I don’t recall asking for laws based on fiction.

If you actually have stats, please present them for our consideration.Kevin Edge, Surrey

Tell us how a stop could helpEditor: Re: Train stop in White Rock an ‘uphill fight,’ Dec. 8.

I would appreciate it if those who are working to have Amtrak trains stop in White Rock could provide details about the business benefits.

While I have great respect for task force chairman Hardy Staub and others who advocate this, and am in favour of any scheme to bring revenue and betterment to the city, I don’t quite see how having trains stop for a few minutes would do this.

Do we expect passengers to detrain and shop? Do we think the trains would provide passenger service between White Rock and Vancouver or Seattle? If so, how would the city share in these fares? Would access to the pier be unduly limited during the stops? What about parking? This is already a scarce and contentious issue on the beach area. Long-term parking for travellers would be problematic.

What about the hopes of some that the tracks be relocated and replaced by a hiking/biking trail from the Peace Arch to Crescent Beach?

Perhaps this newspaper and the Business Improvement Association could provide information about how the millions of dollars mentioned would be generated, cost estimates and who would have to make the necessary decisions.

Details of this nature may generate more enthusiasm for the project and influence decision makers to act.W.R. Nobes, White Rock

So what if my faith is wrongEditor:

Why are atheists so concerned about undermining people’s belief in God?

They apparently believe science and religion don’t mix, but one of the greatest scientists, Albert Einstein, said the more he learned about science the more he believed in God.

I have a very simple philosophy. I believe in God and live accordingly. And if I’m wrong, so what? But what if you are wrong? Think about it.H.A. Friesen, Surrey

Deb Rogers and son Aiden share a moment at a Cops For Cancer event.

Editor: There are many worthy causes to

support over the holiday season, but I’d like to raise awareness about one in particular – blood donation.

As someone whose child has received blood products, I know firsthand the life-saving power of blood products.

I am incredibly grateful that blood was there when we needed it most.

On April 14, 2009, we lost control of our lives forever. Aiden was five years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia, and it turned our world upside down.

Airlifted from our home in Kelowna to BC Children’s Hospital, a new life with childhood cancer began.

Along with a disgusting amount of chemotherapy, Aiden has received

12 blood transfusions. We know that without blood products we would not have our son, who is now in Grade 1 at White Rock Christian Academy.

Canadian Blood Services often struggles to get enough donors at its clinics over the holiday season, especially between the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays. They need to collect nearly 2,000 donations in B.C. during that time frame this year.

Please consider blood donation this holiday season, because you never know when you might need blood one day.

I encourage you to call 1-888-2-DONATE to book an appointment.

Thank you for your gift. Deb Rogers, Surrey

A gift from the heart

Manjit Panghali was desperately trying to save her marriage before she was murdered in 2006.

The Surrey teacher 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, also a Surrey teacher.

“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 Surrey resident’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.”

“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.”

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.”

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.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Public Safety Minister Rich Cole-man – for a time considered the best organized contender for the B.C. Liberal leadership – is now backing Ocean Park resi-dent Kevin Falcon’s bid.

“We need a leader that is going to be able to keep their eye on the ball fiscally, with regards to the budget of the government, but more importantly on the cre-ation of jobs and making sure our tax system is competitive,” Coleman told reporters in down-town Vancouver with Falcon, the former min-ister of health, Wednes-day morning.

The solicitor-general said the party has five good candidates, but said the key factors for him were candidates that would deliver a strong fiscal conserva-tive approach to protect the finances of future generations while keeping the party’s centre-right political coalition together.

“He can do the job,” Coleman said of Falcon. “I am proud to become a supporter.”

Coleman had a campaign-style video and iPhone app out in Octo-ber, soon after Premier Gordon Campbell said he would step down, and was rated by many pundits as the likely candidate to beat.

“I did have quite a machine,” Coleman said, adding he had assembled a team, money and a social-media strategy to power his own bid before deciding not to run.

“A lot of those folks will be over and are already over helping Kevin’s campaign.”

Falcon, who now also has an iPhone app avail-able, said he was hon-oured Coleman was coming on board and credited his leadership on housing initiatives.

The endorsement gives Falcon the support of 13 sitting MLAs, bringing him back to even footing with George Abbott.

Falcon launched his campaign with support

from MLAs Iain Black (Port Moody-Coquitlam), Stephanie Cadieux (Surrey-Panorama), Ron Cantelon (Parksville-Qualicum), Dave S. Hayer (Surrey-Tyne-head), Douglas Horne (Coquit-

lam-Burke Mountain), Rob How-ard (Richmond Centre), John Les (Chilliwack), Joan McIntyre (West Vancouver-Sea-to-Sky), Mary Polak (Langley) and John Yap (Richmond-Steveston).

After mulling his own leader-ship bid, Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton endorsed Fal-con. Coleman joins Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm and Sena-tor Richard Neufeld.

Shuswap MLA George Abbott has support of current MLAs Eric Foster (Vernon Monashee), Murray Coell (Saanich North and the Islands), Randy Hawes (Abbotsford-Mission) Kash Heed (Vancouver-Fraserview), Gor-don Hogg (Surrey-White Rock), Richard Lee (Burnaby North), Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country), Don Mcrae (Comox Valley), John Rustad (Nechako Lakes), John Slater (Boundary-Similkameen), Terry Lake (Kam-loops-South Thompson), Jane Thornthwaite (North Vancouver-Seymour) and John Van Dongen (Abbotsford South).

Former deputy premier Christy Clark is supported by Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy.

The BC Liberals are to choose a new leader – and the province’s next premier – Feb. 26.

Two Mexican nationals are facing charges in connection with the seizure of more than $650,000 in U.S. and Canadian currency last week.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials,

agents patrolling east of Blaine around 10:30 p.m. Dec. 15 found two people wearing large backpacks.

It was determined the pair had entered the U.S. from Canada illegally. A search of the backpacks uncovered

the cash, packaged in sealed plastic bags: US$296,185 and $360,760 Canadian.

The individuals were to appear in court in Seattle. The case is under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations.

‘There is a crack in everything, that’s how the

light gets in.”Canadian poet

Leonard Cohen’s words reflect the hope inherent in a blue Christmas.

Zoomers know all about cracks, as this season often reminds us of the plethora of losses we have experienced in our lives such as the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage or children leaving home. Loves lost and those which were unrequited. Regrets.

And happy memories of Christmases past.

A first married Christmas when love was as fresh as the newly fallen snow.

A Christmas when young children giggled under the covers and snuck out of their beds hoping to spot Santa.

A tree resplendent with

colourful and sparkling decorations with an angel

sitting perilously on top.

Aromatic baking in the oven and the cacophonous sounds of a noisy, lovingly dysfunctional family gathered around the dining table.

With the relentless, mock frivolity this time of year suggests and the incessant refrains of ubiquitous saccharine songs assaulting our senses,

it is hard to feel jolly when one is grieving or reminiscing about Christmases long gone.

I am reminded of another Christmas past… a Christmas which took place over fifty years ago. A little girl in another time, another place. A seven-year-old with long braids and crooked bangs and a missing front tooth.

A Christmas dinner of goose and duck is long over. Santa

has come and gone.The sleigh ride, the angels

in the snow and the snowball fight are but a memory as she struggles for sleep. Her tummy is rumbling, the nausea becomes worse and her head is spinning.

In the darkness of her bedroom, her Christmas ends with a moan and a flood of projectile vomit. She hears familiar footsteps and a reassuring voice of her dad who comforts her.

“There, there, Daddy’s here…everything will be all right.”

She feels better already, safe and nurtured in his loving arms, oblivious to the chaos she has caused.

It’s easy to dwell on the nostalgia of past Christmases and exalt them in our memories. But Zoomers, we can and we will let the light in.

If you are still breathing and have a pulse, be grateful. If there is at least one person who cares for you, be thankful. If you can laugh at

all the indignities of aging, be appreciative!

For what is Christmas all about? It is about light… and hope. Regardless of your religious beliefs or lack thereof, the story of Christmas is about the birth of Christ who symbolizes light.

We Zoomers are filled with light. We look forward to each new day and new experiences. We still love, laugh and live.

We are filled with a continued sense of awe at the wonder of it all. We volunteer our time selflessly.

We may be older but we still have a lot more to contribute… much more to say… and many more memories to make.

And, hopefully, the light we cast won’t be solely from our smartphones! Merry Christmas – see you in 2011.

South Surrey’s Anne Galligan, volunteer director for the BC Lung Association, is encouraging people who want to quit smoking to sign up for the association’s QuitNow and Win contest.

With more than $20,000 in prizes, a 24/7

network of support and a whole com-munity of people providing advice and encouragement, the contest is intended to provide smokers with incentive to quit.

“It can be very difficult for anyone to quit smoking,” said Galligan. “The contest

and associated cash prizes help motivate smokers to commit to quit, but in the end the real grand prize for all quitters is a healthier, smoke-free lifestyle.”

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. Jan. 7. For more information, visit www.quitnow.ca

NEW YEAR’S EVEPOTLUCK PARTY

- COMING EVENTS -

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

A Christmas tradition of turkey with a side of friendship was made extra special this year for guests to St. John Presbyte-rian’s Lunch Hut.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, attendees also received gift bags to take home, stuffed with goodies such as socks, personal care items and sweets – all either donated or purchased with donated cash.

“It was a real treat,” said Phyllis Dekkers, the church’s outreach ministry convenor.

“I think everybody was pretty happy.”More than 100 people turned out for

the Dec. 17 Christmas dinner, which was organized by Kelley Beazely, whose

mother started the Lunch Hut.In its early days, Lunch Hut volunteers

served a small gathering of people a choice of soup and sandwich every Fri-day.

In recent years, between 125 and 150 of the free meals are served every week, Dekkers said.

A turkey dinner is offered every Decem-ber, usually on the Friday before Christ-mas. Easter and Thanksgiving are also special meals.

Dekkers said organizers had hoped to fill 125 gift bags for the dinner guests, but generosity of the church’s congregation and the community enabled much more.

“We have been blown away,” she said.

“Many, many donated money. A couple of people donated children’s stuff – new.”

Penguin Meats donated two 25-pound turkeys for the dinner, and Sweet Escapes contributed 160 bags of sweets.

Members of the congregation donated approximately 200 pairs of socks.

Others brought in gloves, scarves and tuques.

Dekkers said Lunch Hut guests range from people with mental health or addic-tion issues to those who simply enjoy the camaraderie. While families with chil-dren are a rare sight, everyone is welcome, she said.

The Lunch Hut is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays, at 1480 George St.

Christmas dinner offers more than just a meal

Polar Bear Swim began on friendly challengeThe White Rock Polar Bear Swim

draws hundreds of hardy people to White Rock beach every New Year’s

Day.In recent years, Denise Stevenson, Dixie

Kerr and Carolyn Breen Crosby met with us to reminisce about the origins of the swim.

The event began as a spontaneous challenge between friends at a New Year’s Eve party in 1970. The next morning, Jan. 1, 1971, Rod Kerr, Clare Breen, Denise Stevenson, Crystal Loewen, Robyn Miller and Vi Skakum, dressed in outlandish costumes, ran around the block to warm up, then plunged into the water off the end of the pier.

“When they came out of the water they looked like lobsters. The wives were worried that their husbands would have heart attacks and sink, and no one would be able to get them out of the water,” Carolyn remembered.

The next year, the same

group organized the swim as a fundraiser to build an indoor pool. Beginning what would become an annual task, Dixie telephoned fire Chief Fred Phillips to remind him to be on hand with the resuscitator.

“I don’t know how I found him every year at midnight, but I always did, and he would say, ‘Yeah, I know’ as soon as he heard my voice.” Another added feature was a roaring

beach fire. “I’m crediting Don Miller and Rai Howlett,” said Denise.

Over the years the event has gained momentum with the support of the Lions Club, and today it draws close to 500 people. Denise summed it up this way, “You know, it’s not only the fun of the initial swim, but the fun of talking about it through the year. The memories… it’s ongoing, and I just love to say that I’m one of the founding members of the White Rock Polar Bear Swim.”

Long before the White Rock Polar Bear Swim was organized, local resident Wilfred Aukland Atwell was known as Mr. Polar Bear. A great believer in the curative powers

of salt water, Atwell swam in the ocean every day of the year, missing only Jan. 1, 1956 because of logs in the bay.

In 1958 he encouraged the formation of a local Polar Bear Club, and even though he did not live to see the club formed, his legacy spurs on the hardy folk willing to test the frigid waters of Semiahmoo Bay.

Wring in 2011The 41st annual Polar Bear Swim, hosted

by the Peace Arch Monarch Lions, will be held Jan. 1 at noon by the white rock on White Rock Beach. Registration starts at 10:30 a.m., and is free. Donations accepted

for St. John Ambulance and Semiahmoo Peninsula Marine Group.

The Peninsula’s best-known mother-and-son historians, Lorraine and Hugh Ellenwood, are dedicated to preserving local history through the White Rock Museum & Archives. For more, call 604-541-2222 or email [email protected]

Our Doctors utilize the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment to provide you with the most comprehensive eye exam. To date, Boardwalk Optometry is the first and only optometric clinic in the Lower Mainland to have the

Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT, a new high-performance diagnostic instrument that delivers exquisite high-definition images of ocular structures.

For the past two years, our doctors have been able to assess and track subtle changes in the macula.

Patients with macula degeneration benefit from this technology the most. OCT allows our doctors to determine if a patient is converting from dry age-related macular degeneration to wet macular degeneration, so they can be treated promptly to preserve their eyesight.

OCT also allows our doctors to detect glaucoma earlier and

to closely monitor patients at risk for glaucoma better than before by determining if there are any structural changes or damage.

Regular assessments and early detection are extremely important in fighting macular degeneration. Book your appointment with us today for an OCT screening, your eyes will thank you.

arts & entertainment…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

It’s been a great couple of years for Lance Ryan – and more than 300 of us who “knew him

when” were happy to offer a standing ovation for the rising opera star following his Dec. 15 benefit concert for the Peninsula Arts Foundation.

Opera houses around the world are now vying for the Peninsula-raised tenor’s services – and even Canadian houses, notoriously slow to recognize local talent, are clamouring for him, although Ryan’s European-based super agent, Marcus Carl, has him firmly booked some 10 years in advance.

He’s been praised by internationally famed conductors

Zubin Mehta and Sir Simon Rattle, both of who worked with him in 2009, and complimented

by the legendary Placido Domingo, who saw his performance as Siegfried in Valencia last year.

This year, Ryan had his New York debut on Feb. 4 at the Met in the role of Bacchus in Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos and, as the feather in his cap, of played Siegfried in the Ring des Niebelungen at the Bayreuther Festspiele in Germany, Wagner’s literal and spiritual home. He

also sang Siegfried in Shanghai’s Expo in September.

Ryan, who many of us on the local scene have followed loyally

– and championed – for the best part of two decades, as he climbed to the top in Europe, has even become a person of note as far as the CBC and Canadian Opera News are concerned.

His compact with local arts supporters – and the foundation in particular – is simple.

Ryan remembers a time when he was simply a young guitarist who had just, accidentally, discovered his tenor voice after taking a sight-singing course at Douglas College to improve his reading.

To transform the raw evidence of talent into a viable singing career took the support of many in this community, much of it channelled through the grant

assistance the foundation provides to young artists – in spite of draconian, wrongheaded and arbitrary obstacles imposed by the B.C. Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (the power this sour bureaucracy continues

to wield over support for artistic expression in this province is one of the enduring absurdities of our system of government).

But Ryan is quick to acknowledge his debt to his early supporters – and thus the recent benefit was just another example of his willingness to give back.

It’s a motive that could also be read in the talent assembled for the concert, in which he and his wife, soprano Viviana di Carlo (nee Passalaqua), their

favourite B.C. accompanist David Boothroyd, and master of ceremonies George Zukerman were joined by pianist Caleb Robinson (a Grade 12 student at Semiahmoo Secondary) and the young artists of Carla and Harold Birston’s Semiahmoo Strings Orchestra.

The stunning maturity of the latter was apparent from the first notes of the concert, the overture from Handel’s Messiah, in which the well achieved textures of Baroque harmony and sheer accuracy of playing and intonation once again belied the ensemble’s tender years.

Subsequent pieces, including the romanticism of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings and their accompaniment to Wagner’s

Standing ovation for rising opera star

song Traume – like all of their work in the concert, artfully arranged by cellist Harold Birston – merely reinforced the impression of orchestral excellence throughout the evening.

Ryan – although he has worked with the Strings before, the last time in a rare homecoming concert in early 2007 – was clearly impressed anew, allowing him a very comfortable entrance into the proceedings with two Messiah excerpts backed by the ensemble (Comfort Ye…, Every Valley…).

A Christmas-themed concert with such warm-and-fuzzy classics as the Schubert and Bach/Gounod Ave Marias and Adam’s O Holy Night is not the ideal showcase for operatic fireworks.

But the leaner, but certainly not meaner, Ryan abundantly demonstrated for the hometown crowd the qualities that have made the international opera world sit up and take notice.

If a certain gentleness that characterized Ryan’s early local performances has been lost in favour of a take-no-prisoners professionalism, his voice is ever more skilfully placed and his considerable resources ever more carefully managed.

It is clear he has the looks, charisma and stamina to be the convincing eye of the grand operatic hurricane, and his impressive judgment can be read in a vocal tone that can be robust, tenderly caressing and accurately on target in the most powerful passages.

And there were times, as in the rising – and

rousing – climax of Malotte’s setting of The Lord’s Prayer in which we were treated to the full electric force of his voice in the upper register; a truly goose-pimple-inspiring moment.

Di Carlo, too, in all her solos – but particularly the aformentioned Traume – demonstrated she has also become a force to be reckoned with.

In addition to her warmth of tone, the award-winning and increasingly busy Italian-born soprano revealed new dimensions of technical skill, as well as her mastery of the German language.

Boothroyd’s accompaniments, as always, combined both accuracy and artistic sensitivity – no surprise that Ryan and Di Carlo request his services whenever they return to B.C.

But, in many ways, the surprise of the evening was the other pianist, Robinson.

His work was notable for a level of confidence extraordinary for such a young player, particularly his willingness to take ownership of his material – as in his eccentric, dramatic but ultimately compelling interpretation of Schubert’s Klavierstucke D.946.

Robinson’s performances of Chopin’s Etude (Op. 10, No. 3, E major) and Debussy’s Arabesque No. 1, while more conventionally pitched in the romantic genre, had a musicality and charm that matched the relaxed assurance of his spoken introductions.

His performance suggested that he – like Ryan before him – is a young man whose progress will bear watching in future.

White Rock Christian Academy’s junior and senior jazz bands brought Christmas music and cheer to residents of Kiwanis Park Place on Dec. 18 for a special concert directed by band teacher Gord McLeod.

Seasonal favourites with a swinging touch were followed by sandwiches, cookies and conversation between residents and the young musicians, McLeod said.

“It’s important for our kids to go into the community and share their music,” he said.

“As a school, we strongly believe in reaching out and touching the lives of those around us in a meaningful way.”

But the musicians benefited almost as much as the audience,

McLeod added.“The kids had fun –

and we were all moved when, after the concert, the residents broke out in a spontaneous singing of We Wish You A Merry Christmas in appreciation of our coming.”

The bands plan a

return to the facility in the spring of next year, McLeod said, where they will put on a jazz concert in the courtyard for residents and others from other care facilities in the area.

“It’s not often we get to spend time

with young people,” resident Margaret Small commented.

“It is so wonderful to hear the amazing music of these great kids. We are so very privileged they came, and everyone enjoyed their company and positive energy.”

Review by Alex BrowneIt may not be exactly as Lewis

Carroll intended, but the Royal Canadian Theatre Company’s Alice In Wonderland (Surrey Arts Centre mainstage, to Jan. 2) is definitely enjoyable, family-friendly Christmas fun.

It’s also the nearest thing to a traditional English pantomime you’re likely to find in a local season where – all the hard work of talented performers notwithstanding – the tendency has been to obliterate the traditional recipe.

For those seeking holiday jollies, settling in with the current RCTC offering, written and directed by Ellie King, is a warm and comfortable experience; akin to filling up on the expected, but well-done, turkey with all the trimmings, rather than nervously sampling a dish of roast emu with sushi and a side of fries.

Good sets, fine costumes and a pleasant cast and chorus add to a show in which the sense of family is as strong on stage as in the audience – not just from the familiar faces but also from the range of ages, right down to the tiniest scene-stealing tots (and King has taken care to place the latter front and centre).

She and her husband – ace keyboardist and musical director Geoff King – have also composed

some agreeable new tunes (Alice Alone, Have A Cup Of Tea, Tap Dancing On A Rainbow) which are well performed by the cast and certainly worthy of reprise in future pantos.

Two of the strongest performances are in the framing roles of Red Demon (James King) and Blue Fairy (Wendy Bollard). The junior King’s booming voice, villain’s laugh and jovial sense of evil grow more effective with every year. Bollard’s sense of fun and decision to deliver her dialogue in Scots brogue make her fairy a memorable one, and her highland dancing adds to a strong duet with King on Loch Lomond.

Crystal Weltzin’s Alice is suitably perky and feisty and not too ‘grown-up’ in concept for the kiddies; Amanda Ram’s Prince Albert the White is pure English pantomime from bobbed wig to fishnetted gams, with a sense of the ridiculous for good measure.

Also pure pantomime is Alan Cedargreen’s endearingly scatterbrained and ludicrous Dame Patti Cake, while Kaitlin Sandwell makes a conscientious White Rabbit, and Shara Nixon offers fine support as the Duchess.

Michael Roberds’ Mad Hatter, Michael Charrois’ March Hare and Jacqueline Becher’s

Dormouse seem a little too relaxed at first meeting, but, led by the appealing Becher, they soon establish their own distinct comedic interplay which gathers momentum steadily – particularly during an impromptu mock ballet sequence.

Kerri Norris contributes a nasty Red Queen as principal villainess (as well as co-ordinating the splendidly colourful costumes); Stephen Elchesen transforms the Knave of Hearts into a likeable ‘Idle Jack’ character, and Bob Wilson is an amusingly bumbling Red Wizard.

Erstwhile Surrey politician Judy Higginbotham lends regal dignity and clear delivery to the White Queen; Stefani Delisimunovic and Amanda Smith-Weston have some effective moments as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dummer; Daniel Chai is a suitably laid-back and pschedelic ‘Rasterpillar’ and Lorne Jones strikes the right mysterious note as the Cheshire Cat.

Flower girls Iris, Lily and Daisy (Lana Garland, Erin Coon and Jennifer Campbell) and the Guards, Deuce, Trey and Ace (Chai, James O’Neill and Manfred Schulz) add just the right touch to the fun, and a nicely harmonized While Strolling In The Park.

The comforts of traditionAlice in Wonderland offers great family fun

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports ReporterUnlike most siblings, who spend

more time bickering with each other than actually getting along, Tyler and

Brandon Morley insist that there was very little of that brother-on-brother hostility growing up in Burnaby.

Not that many fights – that either cared to mention, anyway – and,

perhaps rarer, not much competition between the

pair, either. “We weren’t too

competitive, really. I mean, we usually

would try to do better than the other, but we’d also be supportive and try to give the other one tips,

stuff like that,” said Brandon, who,

at 16, is three years younger than older brother Tyler.

“We’ve always been pretty supportive of

each other.”And though the

support has always been there, it wasn’t until this season that the duo have actually been able to play together, as forwards with the Surrey Eagles.

Tyler, the Eagles captain this year, is in his third year with the B.C. Hockey League team – and he’ll play here next season, too, before heading off to Merrimack College – while Brandon is a rookie, having joined the team from the Major Midget League.

Brandon, a third-round pick of the Western Hockey League’s Kamloops Blazers, had the opportunity to go the major-junior hockey route, but decided instead to follow in his brother’s footsteps in South Surrey.

“It was a tough decision, but I just thought this would be a better fit for me,” said Brandon. “This is the first year where we’ve ever been eligible to play together. Growing up, I always watched Tyler play – I came to a lot of Eagles games last year, too – and to be on the same team is pretty special.”

Like Tyler – who made his university commitment last season – Brandon will also eventually head to Merrimack College; he committed to the NCAA program but won’t head there for a few more years, at least. After next season in Surrey, when Tyler leaves, the pair’s college careers will likely overlap for two more seasons at Merrimack, an NCAA school in North Andover, Mass.

“It’s been an unreal experience so far, and then to hopefully have two

years of college hockey, too, that’s going to be something else,” said Tyler, after Eagles practice Thursday afternoon.

“It was totally 100 per cent Brandon’s decision (to sign with Merrimack). He had the opportunity to meet

the coach this summer, when he came to visit me, and I think that helped (Brandon) make up his mind.”

Playing on the same team – and being ticketed for the same college – has been a boon for their parents, too.

“My parents love it. They only have to commute to one game, and when we’re in college they’ll only have to travel to one school to visit us,” said Brandon, who still lives at his family’s Burnaby home, as does Tyler.

As an older brother, but also team captain, Tyler has been performing a balancing act of sorts this season – trying to help out Brandon as best he can while also providing leadership for the rest of the team.

“I try to treat him as an equal, just like any other guy on the team, but definitely, when stuff goes down on the ice, that (familial) instinct kind of kicks in a little bit,” Tyler said.

“It’s been a new experience for me, being the captain and sort of trying to take him under my wing a little bit, but

South Surrey golfer Adam Svensson was named earlier this month to Golf Canada’s U22 development squad for 2011.

As part of the team – which features six male and six female golfers – Svensson will receive coaching and other advice and tips – on topics ranging from nutrition and fitness to psychology – as the program tries to develop the country’s next wave of young talent. Two other Surrey golfers, Leilanie Kim and Taylor Kim, were selected for the women’s team.

Hoops for the holidaysYoung basketball players on the

Semiahmoo Peninsula will have the

opportunity to hone their hoops skills over the holidays, at One Pass Ahead’s annual Christmas Camp.

The camp – run by One Pass Ahead coaches Scott Allen and Livia Munro – is set to run Dec. 29-31 at Earl Marriott Secondary, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. each day. It is open to players in Grades 4-12, and costs $90 per player.

Practice sessions will focus on ball handling, passing, transition defence and how to attack the basket on offence.

For information or to register, call 604-812-5908, email [email protected] or visit the One Pass Ahead website at www.onepassahead.com

Elgin Park’s Sandy Hsu drives past a Gleneagle Talons’ defender last Friday, during the Tournament for Emily in Port Coquitlam.

Orcas win four in Port CoquitlamNick GreenizanSports Reporter

With a new round-robin style format – with no playoff rounds – there was no clear winner at last weekend’s Tournament for Emily in Port Coquitlam.

But the Elgin Park Orcas senior girls basketball team still was one of just two teams to go undefeated, reeling off four straight wins.

The Orcas, 14th in provincial triple-A girls rankings, opened with a 71-59 win over eighth-ranked Centennial,

and followed that with Day 2 victories over the Gleneagle Talons, 68-44, and Terry Fox, 51-27. On the third and final day of the tournament, Elgin Park edged No. 10 Kelowna 64-62.

The only other team to win all its games was the host Riverside Rapids, who were on the other side of the tourney bracket from Elgin Park.

The Orcas also won a league-game Tuesday over Seaquam, and are now on a seven-game winning streak.

I remember what it’s like being the youngest guy on the team.

“In my first year, it was hard coming into a situation like that. But I had a great captain that year, Ilan Cumberbirch, who made it easier… I’m just trying to do the exact same thing now that Ilan did for me.”

For his part, Brandon said he has never once felt as though he was tagging along on his big brother’s team.

“No, the guys were great right away when I came here. I’ve felt like part of the team since Day 1,” he said.

With near-identical skill sets and frames – Tyler is five-foot-eight and 170 pounds; Brandon is five-nine and 160 – they’ve both been used in a variety of roles for the Eagles this year. In fact, they’re both so versatile, Erhart admits he sometimes waffles about how to employ them: Are they penalty-killers or offensive players? Do you play them together or apart? What about the power play?

“It’s a nice problem to have, as a coach,”

said Erhart. “I know it’s probably a stereotype because they’re brothers, but they really do play the same way – high energy, both give it all every day in practice.

“They can play in a bunch of different situations, because of their work ethic and skill, and they’ve both got bright futures ahead of them, both on the ice and as people.”

In 26 games this season, Tyler, who has missed a handful of games due to injury, has 20 points, while Brandon has six goals and 15 points in 34 contests.

They’ve found instant chemistry on the ice, in the instances Erhart has played them on the same line.

“Every time we play together, it seems like something happens – a goal or whatever, something seems to go right for us,” Tyler said, adding that they’ve bonded off the ice, too.

“It’s nice on those rides home, we just (talk)… we’ve definitely got a lot closer this season. We were pretty close before, but not like we are now.”

7 OBITUARIES

LLOYD, Margaret Jones

Margaret passed away on December 13, 2010 at the age of 84. She is predeceased by her husband of 61 years, John Andrew Lloyd. She is dearly missed by her children, George and his wife Julie, Ken and his wife Kate, Andrea and her husband John, Susan and her husband Ron, daughter Karen, and by her grandchil-dren Drew, Ali, Sarah, Zoe, John, Seamus, Megan, Molly, David, Jordan, Brendan and Jason.

Margaret and Andy met at a dance in Stillwater B.C. where she taught in a one room schoolhouse. Upon Andy’s graduation from University, the couple moved to Vancouver, where they married and began a family.

Margaret was an artist. She began her art career in high school in B.C. and continued to paint during her child-raising years in Ontario. Margaret found the life of a housewife boring and found creative out-lets in sewing elaborate Hallo-ween costumes, colourful square dance dresses and in abstract painting. She joined the Etobicoke Arts Group where she taught children’s art classes. After success in a number of juried art shows at the Canadian National Exhibi-tion she took the plunge and enrolled in the fi ne art program at Sheridan College. Upon graduation, she was awarded the Governors medal for her achievements. Margaret’s visual arts interest kept expanding. She became a printmaker and later a col-lage artist making her own paper and using her etchings in collage.

Upon moving back to B.C., she became a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists after entries in many success-ful juried shows & exhibits. In her later years, Margaret en-joyed volunteering at Semiah-moo House. Andy & Margaret were often seen in each oth-er’s arms as they square danced, round danced, and jazz danced together in and around White Rock.

Our deepest gratitude to the outstanding staff at Deltaview Life Enrichment Centre for their exceptional care of our mother.

A private celebration of her life will be held. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to Semiahmoo House or the Ca-nadian Diabetes Foundation.

2010 CADILLAC CTS SPORT WAGON

By Jim RobinsonMetroland NewspapersCarguide Magazine.

LA JOLLA, Ca.: Hyundai intends to be the leader in the Canadian compact segment by this time next year.

At the press launch of the 2011 Elantra in California, Hyundai Canada president and CEO, Steve Kelleher, said, “this car is now the face of our brand in Canada.

“We expect it will become our volume leader, replacing the Accent.”

Kelleher said he believes the Elantra can, and will, knock off Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 and the perennial compact car king, Honda Civic.

Tall words indeed, but he is betting not only on the company’s record sales performance this year, but also that the Canadian public now equates Hyundai with value for the money as opposed to being simply cheap and cheerful.

The 2011 Elantra is the fourth vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product initiative in which the Koran automaker plans to launch seven new models in 24 months.

Elantra is the next step in this plan following the Tucson CUV, Sonata family sedan and Equus luxury sedan.

It makes the most of Hyundai’s signature “Fluidic Sculpture” design principles fi rst seen on the Sonata.

But there is more to it than just the looks. It is also very aerodynamic, featuring a drag coeffi cient of an exceptionally low 0.28, comparing favourably to the Chevrolet Volt’s 0.29.

Elantra was designed at Hyundai's North American Design Center in Irvine, Calif.

Under the hood there are wholesale changes starting with the switch to the latest generation four-cylinder engine known in-house as the “Nu”. At 1.8-litres, it replaces the 2.0-litre Beta engine in the outgoing Elantra.

Also new is a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission that replaces the former fi ve-speed manual and four-speed automatic.

Along with an overall weight reduction and low rolling resistance silica tires, Elantra achieves estimated fuel economy ratings of 6.8 L/100 km in the city and 4.9 L/100 km on the highway with the standard six-

speed manual.The six-speed automatic adds only 0.1 L/100 km to

the vehicle’s city fuel consumption rating while the highway rating is the same.

Hyundai claims best in class fuel economy, power and power-to-rate ratio in the class.

According to Hyundai Canada, the new Elantra should be good for 1,000 km on a single tank of regular fuel.

The Nu engine develops 148 hp and 131 lb/ft of torque. While weighing 34 kg less, it achieves a 16 per cent improvement in highway fuel economy over the outgoing model.

The lines of the Elantra are interesting the closer you get to it. Looking along the fl anks of the car, especially at the rear, the side panels rise and then tumble over the back wheel arch towards the rear.

Inside, the 2011 Elantra looks very modern with a host of features such as (depending on model) front and even rear heated seats, Bluetooth and a seven-inch colour monitor for the optional navi/info system.

I don’t care what Hyundai says, this is not a compact car on the outside. Inside it is classifi ed as “mid-size” but it approaches that of a large car.

The engine, for 1.8-litres, is pretty powerful but what makes it is Hyundai’s in-house six-speed automatic.

You can shift it sequentially, but I never bother. The auto box in the Elantra (thanks to all the computer mapping these days) invariably picks the right gear.

At one point on the drive portion, my usual co-driver and I were up over 5,000 feet in the Cleveland National Forest east of San Diego.

Had this been a 1.8-litre and a four-speed auto, I’m pretty sure the Elantra would have been out of breath after the climb. On the two times we passed, the transmission shifted down two speeds without a clunk in the drivetrain.

The 2011 Elantra is equipped with just about every safety and drive aid you can think of such as six airbags, electronic stability control with traction control and four-wheel disc brakes that stop it shorter than a Civic and Corolla according to Hyundai.

The unibody chassis makes extensive use of high-strength steels. Did you know, by the way, Hyundai is the only automaker in the world with this own steel plant?

As is usual with Hyundai, there are four basic trim levels (L, GL, GLS and Limited) starting with the base L, manual at $15,849. The volume leader will probably be the GL automatic with air and cruise at $19,999. With everything, and that includes leather and navigation/audio system, the most you can spend on the Elantra is $24,699 for the Limited with Navigation.

In fact, prices for the 2011 models are unchanged from 2010.

As noted at the top, Hyundai has set itself a lofty goal of being number one in the compact car segment and that represents almost 50 per cent of total sales in this country.

But if I’ve learned anything about Hyundai over the years, is that once they set a target, they invariably achieve it.

Elantra 2011 is the new face of Hyundai

Hyundai is aiming to take over the top spot in the compact car segment with the 2011 Elantra sedan that features mid-size passenger volume and 4.9l/100 km in the highway allowing it to travel more than 1,000 on one tank.

Hyundai has made huge leaps in interior design and use of materials which is shown on the

2011 Elantra.
