Hardy Staub anticipates arduous journey ahead for revived task force

Train stop in White Rock an ‘uphill fight’Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

The train will stop here – if Hardy Staub has anything to do with it.

The City of White Rock is reviving its Amtrak Task Force with the former mayor as chair. And the express intention is having White Rock as a regular stop for interna-

tional passenger-train service as an eco-nomic booster both for the city and the surrounding region.

“It’s going to be an uphill project,” Staub said Monday, adding that “council is going to have to spend some money to get some help to point us in the right direction” in pursu-ing negotiations.

But Staub noted the city was halfway to achieving the overall goal in 2001, when he was still mayor.

Staub and Amtrak president Gil Mallery signed a memorandum of understanding on July 24 of that year, in which Amtrak agreed to provide daily passenger service north-bound to White Rock and southbound from

the city to various points in the U.S.The agreement was contingent on a number

of factors, including White Rock providing station infrastructure and long-term park-ing, plus approvals from BNSF, Transport Canada and the Washington Department of Transportation – and also satisfactory agree-

Child’s dream comes true

PyjamatimeHannah SutherlandStaff Reporter

Hundreds of less fortunate children in Surrey will receive new pyjamas this Christmas, thanks to the creative thinking of one local Grade 1 student.

Rosemary Heights Elementary’s Reese Shelly came up with the idea of a pyjama drive after learning from his mother that some kids don’t have their basic needs met, let alone receive Christmas gifts.

“It started early November when my son was talking about the fact he didn’t have as many toys as his friends,” Erin Shelly said.

After discussing how some children don’t have any toys at all, the two began considering ways to give back.

“We talked about a charity we could do,” Shelly said. “He suggested buying pyjamas for kids.”

The South Surrey resident contacted the Surrey Christmas Bureau, which agreed to include pyjamas in the hampers of food and toys it distributes to low-income families.

Shelly appealed to relatives, friends and neighbours in hopes of collecting at least 50 pairs.

That target was already surpassed after her husband rounded up 75 sets through a charity night at his Richmond restaurant, where patrons received food for half price with sleepwear donations.

The venue served as a drop-off location, while Shelly picked up other contributions from around the Peninsula. By last weekend, her house served as storage for hundreds of pyjamas in sizes ranging from newborn to teens.

“They’ve occupied my dining room and living room, but it’s been great coming down every day and seeing them there.”

Six families helped bundle and sort the pyjamas Sunday, counting 362 pairs, which were matched

with additional donations of books, slippers and robes.

“It completely blew us away,” Shelly said. “We were happy to get 50, so we just blew that out of the water. Without a doubt, we will have to do it again next year.”

Not only did the drive help teach Reese to appreciate what he has, it showed him the goodness in others, Shelly noted.

“It was also good for him to see how generous our friends and family are.”

Gordon and Jane Bader were not in their South Surrey home when some Surrey RCMP officers and members of the Delta Police arrived with a search warrant and broke down the door.

The 68-year-old retired former Vancouver police officer and his 63-year-old wife were out having breakfast.

However, their son, 34-year-old Sylvan, a security guard, was home sleeping. He was awakened and arrested at gunpoint.

It was about 8:30 a.m. on May 16, 2008.When the parents returned around 9:30

a.m. they were arrested, too.Around 11 a.m., the Baders’ 25-year-old

son, Jared, a college student, arrived at the home and was arrested. About the same time, the Baders’ other son, Travis, 32, a Lad-ner resident, was being arrested at the offices of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, the weapons-training facility operated by the Bader family since 1988 at 7198 Vantage Way in Delta.

Travis is president and CEO of Silvercore.After their arrests, all five Baders were

taken to the Surrey RCMP main detach-ment, where they were kept in separate hold-ing cells for three days.

The next month, the Baders were charged with multiple charges of possessing restricted firearms and ammunition, making or using explosives and other weapons-related offences.

The case never went to trial. The charges were stayed by the Crown prosecutor’s office.

Details of the raid and arrests are outlined in court documents filed in the Vancouver B.C. Supreme Court registry on behalf of the Baders by lawyer Cameron Ward.

The Baders are suing two Surrey Mounties and one Delta police officer involved in the raid, the provincial solicitor general’s office and the Municipality of Delta, saying their rights were violated.

Unspecified compensation is being sought

for alleged wrongful arrest, false imprison-ment, trespass, assault and battery, negli-gence and malicious prosecution as well as loss of income, humiliation and distress.

Their lawsuit also names a Surrey firearms officer employed by the Canadian Firearms centre gun registry and licencing authority, saying he supplied false information to the police.

In response, lawyers for the firearms centre officer, the Delta Police, RCMP, solicitor-general and the municipality have applied to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing the various officers involved were acting in good faith and their actions were legal and with-out malice.

No date for a court hearing has been set.Silvercore has a list of past and pres-

ent clients that includes the Abbotsford and Vancouver police departments, Brinks Armoured Car, Churchill Armoured Car, Securicor Armoured Car and the Geological Survey of Canada.

The company offers the Canadian Fire-arms Safety and Canadian Restricted Fire-arms Safety Courses (CFSC and CRFSC). It also provides training in personal safety and defending against edged weapons as well as firearms rentals, gunsmithing, and the safe disposal of old or unwanted weapons

NDP divided by ‘malcontents’

Departure surprises Surrey MLAs

World mayors contest

Watts comes fourthKevin DiakiwBlack Press

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has been named the fourth best mayor in the world, by the City Mayors Foundation.

Watts was nominated and short-listed for World Mayor in July, and on Tuesday, she finished fourth.

“Residents of Surrey credit the mayor with transforming the city from a ‘run-down, drug-infested place’ into a community that now attracts new residents and busi-ness,” judges said. “In November 2010, she turned down the chance to run for state premier of British Columbia in order to ‘finish her work as Surrey’s mayor.’”

First place went to Marcelo Ebrard, mayor of Mexico City, fol-lowing an 18-month public nomi-nation and voting process.

“He has championed women’s and minorities’ rights and has become an outspoken and internationally respected advocate on environmen-tal issues,” said Tann vom Hove, senior editor at City Mayors.

Second place went to Mick Cornett, mayor of Oklahoma City, described by one of his peers as a giant among Ameri-can mayors.

Third place in the 2010 World Mayor Prize went to Domenico Lucano, mayor of Riace, southern Italy.

The World Mayor Project is orga-nized by the urban affairs think-tank, The City Mayors Foundation. The World Mayor Project started in 2004. The City Mayors Foundation, set up in 2003, promotes good and open local government through its Code of Ethics.

Anger, frustration and shock are ricocheting through the NDP in Surrey this week after its provincial leader stepped down amid rancour and party infighting.

Carole James announced Monday morning she was stepping down as leader of the Opposition.

The decision comes after two months of internal dis-putes, in which several mem-bers of her caucus demanded a leadership convention to pick someone to lead them into the next election.

James called an emergency caucus meeting for Sunday, then postponed it. The next morning, she announced her resigna-tion.

“Over the last two months, we’ve seen some members of our caucus decide to use their time and energy infighting instead of working on behalf of British Columbians,” James said in a prepared statement Monday. “I and many others have made efforts to try and resolve this issue. We’ve reached out; we’ve tried to get people back to work… But the infighting continues.”

Sue Hammell, NDP MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers, said the James resignation is a tre-mendous loss.

“I’m angry,” Hammell said. “I think it’s a trag-

edy. I think we had a very strong woman leader who took us to 49 per cent in the polls before all these shenanigans started.”

Hammell described James as cool and col-lected under pressure as well as compassionate and caring.

Harry Bains, NDP MLA for Surrey-Newton, said he is discouraged with the news of James’ departure.

“I’m disappointed, actually,” Bains said. “I thought Carole had what it takes to be a great premier.”

James brought a “pragmatic and common-sense” approach to the leadership, Bains said, adding he’s trying to adjust to the new real-ity of the party and hasn’t given thought to who the next leader might be.

Bruce Ralston, NDP MLA for Surrey-Whalley, said he was sur-prised by James’ announcement and that he thought the issues had been hammered out over the weekend.

“But obviously Carole has decided enough is enough,” Ral-ston said. “I’ve worked closely with her, and I’ve always been impressed with her energy and her optimism, her ability to campaign hard.”

Ralston, a former party president, said it’s too early to predict who will be the next leader. Asked if he’d be interested in the job, he wouldn’t commit either way.

“Again, I think it’s premature to make that decision,” Ralston said.

Delta-North MLA Guy Gentner, one of the so-called “Baker’s Dozen” who opposed James’ leadership, had a rough weekend, according to his staff.

Three members of Gentner’s constituency association executive quit over his position regarding James. Two of them were talked into coming back.

Gentner told Black Press Monday he was up all night “mulling” the future.

“I’m pretty emotional about it all,” Gentner said. “It’s probably the most gut-wrenching time of my political life to question the leader-

ship.”Gentner said he looks forward

to a one-member-one-vote lead-ership race.

Jagrup Brar, NDP MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, is in India and could not be immediately reached for comment.

Hammell said she has no idea who will take the place of James.

“The dissidents or the malcon-tents have never put anyone up (as a potential leader), so it’s hard to say,” Hammell said. “That’s the

puzzlement all the way. You don’t know what horse they’re stalking for, or what issues they are passionate about.”

An interim leader is expected to be chosen in the new year.

“And then, only a few weeks later, an event happened in the U.S. called 9-11,” Staub said. “Everything died there.”

Staub said the advent of the U.S. Department of Homeland Secu-rity and an increasingly “isola-tionist” attitude in the U.S. meant the climate was not right then for continued negotiations for the proposed service.

But White Rock’s Governance and Legislation Committee – which Monday approved the re-establishment of the task force, with Coun. Grant Meyer as council representative and Coun. Doug McLean as alternate – is betting that now is the right time to restart negotiations which could ultimately mean a huge economic benefit to the city.

“(This) is a very important

committee for us to move for-ward,” McLean said.

Staub did not pull any punches in describing to council mem-bers the challenges ahead.

“It was a steep uphill fight in 2001 – it is even as steep uphill now,” he told councillors, adding that he agreed to chair the task force on condition he had input to the terms of reference and the composition of the group.

Terms of reference for the task force are expected to be brought forward in January.

“I don’t intend to be part of a committee that’s not going any-where. It is of the utmost impor-tance we follow through on this and bring some economic devel-opment to White Rock.”

Staub told Peace Arch News that even as of 2001, the service was calculated as having a poten-tial $7 million yearly economic spinoff for the city and the sur-rounding region.

What he described as a “hand-

shake” agreement with the Semi-ahmoo First Nation would have provided benefit both through leasing parking space on SFN land and also employment to band members operating a shut-tle service to station facilities, he said.

The City of Blaine was also onside with negotiations in 2001, he said, including the possibility of a ferry service between Blaine and a new White Rock station.

But there were still obstacles to overcome at that time, he said. Among them was that a daily passenger-rail service that included White Rock had also hinged on upgrades to tracks both south and north of the bor-der paid for by Washington State and the provincial government.

“I believe Washington State spent at least $100 million to bring their part up to standard, but it’s my understanding B.C. never stepped up to the plate,” Staub said.

Sheila ReynoldsBlack Press

She’s being described as a highly dependable friend and colleague who was always passionate, hon-est, respectful and hard working.

Former longtime Surrey school trustee Heather Stilwell died at home Friday with her family by her side after a two-year battle with can-cer. She was 66.

Stilwell was first elected to the Surrey Board of Education in 1991 and served for 15 years (she took three years off) before stepping down in 2008, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Over the years, she became a well-known activist and politi-cian, collecting both fans and adversaries for her often-conser-vative views about contentious issues, including gay-themed books in the classroom and con-dom machines in schools.

But even when she retired from the board to focus on her health issues, fellow trustees of every political stripe praised her for her commitment, passion, courage and love of children.

Langley MLA Mary Polak – a longtime Surrey trustee before turning to provincial politics – said it was Stilwell’s forthright manner that earned her respect.

“She was well-known for saying you might not always like what she thought, but you always knew what she thought,” said Polak.

Polak had a unique relation-ship with Stilwell that began

when she was in the same elementary class as Stilwell’s eldest daugh-ter as a child. Later in life, Polak’s daughter was similar in age to Stilwell’s two youngest. And when Polak’s mother passed away early in her political career, their relationship changed again.

“Heather became not just a colleague and a friend, but she really did

serve as, in all honesty, a second mom to me – always a person I could call and get advice from and always a person that would listen and tell you honestly what she thought,” said Polak, who added one of Stilwell’s legacies was also the number of people she encour-aged to enter public life.

Laurae McNally, chair of the Sur-rey Board of Education, praised Stilwell’s ability to be respectful and kind regardless of differing opinions or political leanings.

She praised her passion for lit-eracy – in her later years as a trustee Stilwell sewed hundreds of bookbags and gave them to kindergarten kids throughout the district each year, along with a

new book. But she was also a “builder,” said McNally.

She was very involved with the establishement of the Bell Per-forming Arts Centre and just last month, was able to tour the new District Education Centre, which she was instrumental in creating.

Stilwell also loved to see new schools built in Surrey.

“I always remember, when we were approving new plans for new schools, she’d always say ‘this is my favourite part of the agenda!’” recalled McNally.

McNally said when Stilwell made the difficult decision not to run for office again after being diagnosed with cancer, she’d said that although she had a strong urge to stay involved, the large and busy school district needed someone who could do the job properly.

“She wasn’t one to do it half-way. She was a workhorse,” said McNally.

Outside of the school district, Stilwell was a founding member of the Christian Heritage Party and was also highly involved in the pro-life movement.

Stilwell is survived by her hus-band of 45 years, eight children and eight grandchildren.

Prayers will be held Wednes-day at 7 p.m. at Precious Blood Parish,17475 59 Ave. A funeral service is planned for Dec. 9 at 10 a.m.

Politics in B.C. has always been a take-no-prisoners bloodsport. For proof, one need look no further than the bookend resigna-

tions of Gordon Campbell and Carole James.Neither wanted to give up their posts as Lib-

eral and NDP leaders; both were forced out by a small band of dissidents and provincial polling that suggested they had outstayed their wel-come.

No one said the job of party leader would be easy, but it’s particularly tough in B.C., where politics are polarized and elections are fought like mixed martial arts battles.

Leaders need the confidence of 100 per cent of their caucus, not 84 per cent, which is roughly what both James and Campbell had toward the end.

The two deserve credit for showing leadership where it was needed by stepping down early enough in the election cycle for the two parties to rebuild, and the province benefited from both their strengths.

Campbell was innovative and made some great leaps forward in acknowledging climate change and the steps needed to reverse it; James was collaborative and willing to reach out to sectors not usually friends of NDP, such as small business.

But both faced challenges from insiders who felt a new brand was necessary for the parties to revive before the May 2013 election.

James was criticized for being dull, unimagi-native and slow to take advantage of Liberal gaffes; Campbell was denounced as out of touch and dictatorial.

In the final analysis, some may say Carole James was as much a victim of the harmonized sales tax decision as Gordon Campbell. She failed to gain mileage from this much-hated public policy compared to Bill Vander Zalm, who managed to revive his reputation from 20 years ago, when he was a party leader struggling – and failing – to remain at the helm.

Certainly, whatever James and Campbell think of Vander Zalm’s political and popular resur-gence, it should give them renewed hope if ever they decide to return to the forefront.

But for now, B.C. voters will finally have their say on the HST and a new political era. But don’t expect politics in Lotusland to get any less nasty.

spoofs a crumbling Roman Empire and its disorganized enemies.

Among those foes is the People’s Front for Judea, determined to bring the empire down and free its victims. Alas, it finds itself locked in a bitter rivalry with a splinter group calling itself the Judean People’s Front. The huddling, oppressed Judeans themselves aren’t much helped by their constant, pointless in-fighting.

The resemblance to today’s B.C. political scene is striking. Emperor Gordon the Green is marking his final days. Plotters in his own Senate have sheathed their knives only now that he has agreed to speed his chariot to the exit. His taxes have so enraged the peasantry, there are fears that only his Convention Coliseum and Great Road to Whistler will be left to mark his reign.

And what does the Opposition do, even as the torches and pitchforks of a people’s militia clear a broad path to the throne? It finds itself locked in a bitter dispute with a 13-member splinter group – perhaps they should call themselves the Newer Democratic

Party. The rebels got their wish Monday, as Carole James resigned as leader. The question is, now what?

The Baker’s Dozen, a default label for these rebels, were united by one notion. James must make way for a leadership contest against no declared rival, as soon as possible, because she has no compelling ideas.

I’ve been trying to point this out for years. “Innovative ideas are what the NDP needs now,” this column declared in December 2006, when the first rumblings about James’ leadership were surfacing.

At that point, the NDP’s health-care focus was exploiting the grief of seniors forced into

separate care homes by their divergent medical needs.

Two years later, the NDP would denounce B.C.’s innovative carbon tax. This was not driven by any substantive logic, a fact that was demonstrated when they dropped their objections after the 2009 election.

The common thread with the separated seniors and the carbon tax is that these were merely tactics. See something unpopular and oppose it.

The same empty tactics have guided the NDP through the drama over the

harmonized sales tax. They still haven’t said clearly what they would do with it. Events have moved faster than their ability to formulate even the beginnings of an actual plan.

I spent some time this weekend on the NDP’s policy development website, called Our Province Our Future. Did you know that this major initiative was launched this past spring? Didn’t think so.

There are impressive studies about topics like the volatility of commodity markets. B.C. has started making serious inroads into the Chinese lumber market, driven by aggressive government promotion programs.

What has the NDP done? Opposed it, claiming all we can do is sell low-grade lumber at a loss.

What’s the NDP’s latest wood product idea? Our Province Our Future has a discussion paper that ends with a series of important questions, such as “What can be done to generate a shift toward high value-added production?”

There are lots of questions, but I didn’t find any answers.

The Baker’s Dozen split with James began with the expulsion of Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. His crime was to say that seven years into her leadership, James offers few ideas.

Gordon Campbell’s problem was having too many ideas. His record for cabinet reorganizations alone should stand for all time.

The NDP still looks like a front group for public-sector unions and not much else.

Positive motivationEditor:

My congratulations to Mayor Catherine Ferguson and members of council for their forward-looking action with regard to waste management in White Rock.

Doubling and expanding the frequency of recycling pickup and reducing that for trash will certainly help the city to meet its waste management goals.

In Bellingham, where I have lived, they use a similar system and it works well. In the Bellingham system, you are allowed one tote of garbage every two weeks and unlimited recycling on a weekly schedule, for the basic waste management charge. Extra trash left out – after a party, for example – is taken, with an additional one-time fee levied on the customer.

Over a period of four years, I paid an additional fee on two occasions. Even though the additional fee is quite reasonable, you try hard to avoid it on principle and thus get better at recycling.

I hope something similar will happen in White Rock.

One again, well done by all concerned.Geoff Giffin, White Rock

Consequences for her actionsEditor: Re: Berner’s right to seek bail, Dec. 3.

Oh dear.I assume Carol Berner’s apologist

and human-rights police officer is aware of the fact that part of the prosecution evidence involved a taped video of Berner confessing to drinking glasses of wine prior to losing control of the car?

I assume the same apologist is aware Berner delivered a supposedly sincere and lengthy apology to the victim’s family in court prior to sentencing, apparently taking full responsibility for her actions?

Yes, I can see where one might get confused.Alan Campbell, Surrey

■I can’t believe someone sent in this

letter on such a touchy subject.I would have to ask letter-writer

Catharina Leidel, is this really about our court system?

From everything I have heard, Carol Berner that day did have a drink of alcohol, so does it really matter if it was one, two or more?

We all know alcohol and driving don’t mix. Because of that, a beautiful child died, forever changing a family.

Maybe Berner should take responsibility for that and deal with the consequences that go along with the action.

Isn’t that what a lot of us parents teach our children when they are being bad and we punish them? I. Hill, White Rock

My sincere appreciationEditor:

On Tuesday, Nov. 2, I was the pedestrian knocked down by a car at the 152 Street/24 Avenue intersection.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to emergency personnel who so quickly attended to and stabilized me preparatory to having me airlifted to the Royal Columbian Hospital.

My appreciation, also, to the

police who controlled traffic at the scene of the accident.Iain Barnes, Surrey

New homeland embracedEditor:

My parents were Ukrainian. My mom was taken to Germany as a domestic at age 17, her parents to Siberia.

After three years, her German family helped her escape to France.

My dad escaped to France during

the invasion of Poland. My dad joined a Ukrainian contingency in the French army to fight the Nazis.

Mom and dad met, married, had a small farm and learned to read, write and speak French.

In 1953, the family immigrated to Canada, with new hope and with one small trunk and one suitcase. There was no social assistance, no ESL. There was a one-time small relocation cheque. Your sponsors had to help you with accommodations and food and getting you employment.

Again, my parents learned to speak, read and write, in English.

My parents felt this was imperative to function effectively in their new homeland. They respected the rights and freedoms afforded them. They obeyed the law of the land.

They appreciated being able to preserve their culture and language secondary to Canadian culture and language. They left their anger, hates and prejudices in their crossing over to Canada.

My parents were always grateful for living in a safe, largely accepting and prosperous country. No regrets!

It’s too bad over the years so many immigrants don’t do the same thing.

Oh yes, one more thing. Merry Christmas!Lucette Mowrey, White Rock

K.C. Gilroy’s grandmother had a saying that continues to bring about goodwill in others to this day.

Editor: The Surrey Christmas Bureau volunteers are working

hard to ensure that more than 1,800 families have the basics for a pleasant holiday season.

Toy drives and donations are very appreciated and put to good use.

But a major part of the bureau’s success is matching a local family with a sponsor family or business.

This year, there is a shortage of sponsors coming forward and we fear that the growing needs will not be met.

My Irish grandmother had a saying I’ve never forgotten. Whenever she encountered a story of someone being excessive or greedy, she would shake her head slowly and say, “Once you are warm and dry and full of good food, how much warmer and drier and fuller do you need to be?”

By sponsoring a local family, you share your goodwill as you realize that you and loved ones are warm and dry and full of good food.

So many others in our city are not. K.C. Gilroy, Surrey Christmas Bureau

Tracy HolmesStaff Reporter

The City of White Rock needs a vision for the future, members of the city’s investment and revital-ization committee have heard.

And it’s going to get one.A request for proposals for a

master plan for the city went out in October, confirmed Mayor Catherine Ferguson. The Urban Design Concept – complete with storyboards depicting everything from green space and approved developments to light standards and public art – is expected com-plete by spring.

Having that future view was a key concern of invited guests at a Nov. 23 investment and revitaliza-tion committee meeting, Fergu-son said.

The committee hosted about a dozen town cen-tre property owners to discuss challenges they are facing and ideas for what more the city can do to provide opportuni-ties for local business.

“One of the main themes that I heard out of it, which I completely agree with, is the need for a master plan for the city. We don’t have that,” Ferguson said.

“As a resident, we all want to have a clear idea and be part of what the city’s going to look like. As an investor, you always want to

know what you’re investing in and what the future looks like.

“This (vision) is going to benefit all of us.”

Epta Properties’ Angelo Tsakumis – whose fam-ily’s company, Epta, is scheduled to start con-struction on the 17-sto-rey, 108-unit Avra devel-opment early next year – agreed.

Tsakumis described a “spirit of collaboration” at the meeting – one he hasn’t felt for most of the past five years that Epta

has been working in White Rock. In fact, last November, Tsakumis described the city as “closed for business,” after council’s land-use committee sent the Epta project back to square one.

Things have changed, he told Peace Arch News Friday.

“The council that’s currently there is wanting that shift,” Tsa-kumis said.

“For years, there’s always been this negative connotation of doing anything in the City of White Rock. I think everyone’s realiz-ing… we’ve got to work collec-tively if we’re going to rebuild the town centre.”

Other topics discussed include the need for densification, the city’s new tax revitalization exemp-tion program and the need for the community to be more active in promoting the town centre.

Attendees – many of them developers – also asked for more flexibility for dealing with chal-lenges created by changes in the economy, Ferguson said.

Taping policyWhite Rock’s city staff

have been cleared to tape open council and committee meetings.

Governance and Legislation Committee members Monday endorsed a policy authorizing the recordings of the meetings.

It follows a moratorium that was placed in late October on the practise of taping any city meeting. The ban was suggested – and supported unanimously by council – after concerns were

raised regarding the taping of in-camera meetings. Many councillors weren’t aware the meetings were being taped, Coun. Doug McLean told the Peace Arch News at the

time.The policy

endorsed Monday permits the taping of open meetings “for the sole

purpose” of preparing accurate draft minutes. The tapes are to be erased immediately after the minutes are completed, and are not deemed a record for the purposes of the city’s

record-retention policy.In response to

questions from Mayor Catherine Ferguson, city clerk Tracey Arthur said “very few” Lower Mainland municipalities have such a policy, and she isn’t aware of any that tape closed meetings.

Trial to proceedA Surrey man accused

in the assault of White Rock’s Fred Edrissi will stand trial on the charges.

The determination was made following a one-day preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court Dec. 1.

Darryl Gordon Brown, 44, is charged with

aggravated assault and assault with a weapon in connection with an Aug. 1, 2009 incident in South Surrey.

Originally scheduled as a three-day trial, the

preliminary hearing was set after Brown elected for a Supreme Court jury trial, Crown counsel Crichton Pike said. A ban prevents publication of any of the

evidence heard during the preliminary hearing. Edrissi was the only witness to testify.

A date for trial is to be set Dec. 16 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Outside court, Edrissi told the Peace Arch News he continues to struggle with injuries sustained on the day in question.

Vigils heldVigils to remember

the lives of 14 women killed in a massacre at l’Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal 21 years ago were held Monday

(Dec. 6) at Kwantlen Polytechnic University campuses.

Students, staff and faculty at the four sites – Surrey, Langley, Richmond and Cloverdale – were joined in the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women tributes by MLAs Stephanie Cadieux, Harry Bains, Bruce Ralston and Sue Hammell.

As the name of each victim was read, a red rose was placed in the garden and a candle was lit to remember them.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Hannah SutherlandStaff Reporter

Peninsula residents are encouraged to speak out about global human rights this weekend, when a local

Amnesty International club hosts a write-a-thon calling for the release, protection and security of oppressed individuals and groups around the world.

Thousands of people from as far as Mongolia, Japan and Uruguay are expected to join Write for Rights, a campaign that will be held locally Dec. 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at White Rock Library, 15342 Buena Vista Ave.

The event marks Human Rights Day (Dec. 10), which is the anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

“In 1948, the UN made this declaration that all individuals in the world, all global

citizens, should be entitled to certain rights,” group spokesperson Rob Bacon said. “And so this is in commemoration of that.”

The Peninsula club – which has about a dozen members

– plans to write letters calling for action on various human rights cases, and invites people to sign a copy of those they are interested in.

Letters will be sent to influential figures such as nations’ leaders, consulates or police chiefs, depending on each case.

Some of the plights highlighted in this year’s campaign include those of imprisoned labour activist Su Su Nway in Myanmar; Rev. Alejandro Solalinde Guerra in Mexico, whose life is in danger for protecting migrants; indigenous

peoples in Columbia receiving death threats from a paramilitary group; and jailed Chinese political activist Liu Xiaobo.

“That is one of the more prominent ones, especially since he won the Nobel Peace Prize,” Bacon said of Xiaobo, who, in October, became the first Chinese national to receive the prestigious award and the third to win it while incarcerated by his or her own government.

Write-a-thon participants can hand over signed letters to club members for mailing or send them on their own.

One year, the Peninsula club sent more than 200 letters.

“It makes more of an impact if they come from individuals,” Bacon said, noting Amensty has reported success in a number of cases. “They basically say their estimates are that in about a third of the cases, they know the letters have made a difference.

“It definitely feels good knowing that you’re helping others, and this work is really needed in the world right now.”

Bacon said every letter counts, which is why it’s important for as many people as possible to join the campaign.

“People often feel ‘Well I’m only one person… will it even matter? Will it make a difference?’ And really everything that’s

good in the world has started with one person,” he said.

“Just one more person supporting something right – it always makes a difference.”

There can always be more awareness around human rights abuses and the need for justice, Bacon added.

“Nothing can get better until people are treated with more dignity and respect, and so it’s a very basic need of people to have these human rights because they’ll never be able to be happy and healthy without these basic human rights. It’s directly related to the health and happiness for individuals

and nations.”For more

information about the White Rock/South Surrey Amnesty International group – which meets monthly in White Rock to support Amnesty’s efforts – call Bacon at 604-542-6463.

In a nearly unanimous vote, Cloverdale Legion members have endorsed a relocation proposal that’s part of the City of Surrey’s plans to redevelop the old Cloverdale Mall and revitalize the historic downtown.

After months of negotiations, Branch 6 membership approved the latest proposal by TL Housing Solutions and the Surrey City Development Corp. – in a vote of 121-10 – at a special meeting held Nov. 27.

The 60-year-old Cloverdale Legion would remain in its current facility until the new one is complete, by spring or summer 2013.

The results of the vote are a near-reversal from the mood in April, when Legion members “tarred and feathered” presenters giving a project update, according to Branch 6 president Pat Ostrom.

The vote required approval by two-thirds of the membership in order to pass.

The legion would move into a new, 10,000-square-foot canteen built at street level of a five-storey complex with residential condominiums and retail space.

The move wouldn’t be far – just west of the current location at 17567 57 Ave. – in the southwest corner of the mall’s parking lot.

Parking had been a major hurdle for the legion project. Members had been critical of how many parking spaces were initially allotted to their membership.

Under the latest proposal, the Cloverdale Legion will have 117 parking spaces out of 221 planned for the site.

Members were also initially reluctant to take on a mortgage. For now, the branch will own the legion facility outright, with an option to purchase the street-level retail space for $2 million.

The branch could then rent out the retail space. Over time, those leases would become an income source.

Ostrom said the legion project won’t go ahead unless 40 per cent of the condominium units in the development are

pre-sold. If not, the legion would remain where it is.

Those arguments helped sway members in favour of the plan, which will still require approval by Dominion Command of the Royal

Canadian Legion.The legion project

is part of a larger revitalization plan for the City of Surrey-owned mall.

The ultimate plan is to transform the nearly deserted mall and its

expansive outdoor parking lots into an urban village with shops, townhomes and public spaces.

“The idea is that there will be three to four hundred units in this project that will bring shoppers to Cloverdale,” said Jim Cox, president and CEO of Surrey City Development Corp.

Most of the mall tenants moved out Oct. 31, except for a Sikh temple and a soup kitchen and cold weather shelter. Both have been given an extension to Jan. 31.

Cox said the mall will be torn down in early February, with construction on the legion project, an adjacent three-storey mixed use building, and a westward extension of 57A Avenue from 176 Street starting early next spring.

businessSharing the magic

Hundreds of people from the local business community learned some tips and strategies from Disney’s professional development team this week.

Representatives of Disney Institute presented the program – Disney’s Approach to Quality Service – Nov. 30 in South Surrey to more than 260 attendees.

Hosted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s School of Business and Surrey Board of Trade, the event at Pacific Inn was aimed at helping businesses gain a competitive edge.

“It was a rare opportunity to learn about the quality service that differentiates Disney from other top-ranked companies,” said Kwantlen School of Business dean Arthur Coren.

Disney Institute business program facilitator Mary Flynn summed up the secret behind Disney’s success:

“It’s not the magic that makes it work. It’s the work that makes the magic. For Disney, great service is about two very simple things: exceeding the guest’s expectations and paying attention to details.”

A lifetime of helpingWhile the season of goodwill and

generosity is now upon us, there are countless individuals

in the community who have been working hard throughout the calendar year to give a present without a tag or extended warranty – the gift of volunteerism.

Most of the time their philanthropy goes undetected, but can make a big difference, nonetheless, according to Sue Sanderson, manager of volunteer services at Sources in White Rock.

“Since joining the team at Sources three years ago, I have had the honour, the privilege of working with some of the most humble, caring and empathetic individuals here in the White Rock/South Surrey area,” said the mother of two grown children who has volunteered in some capacity most of her life.

“Some of their stories will bring tears to your eyes and make you feel warm and fuzzy – others will break your heart.”

One story Sanderson said she’ll never forget is from a volunteer driver who came across an isolated senior who had somehow slipped through the cracks.

“He told the driver he was the first person he had spoken to in three weeks, which was really an eye-opener,” she said.

“That let us know that people in our community are living in isolation when they shouldn’t be.”

Over the years, Sources – formerly known as Peace Arch Community Services – has created several volunteer programs, to provide a source of support to individuals and families coping with isolation,

addiction, poverty, disability and conflict.On Thursday (Dec. 9) at 10 a.m., inside

the White Rock Community Centre on Russell Avenue, the public is invited to a presentation of uplifting stories from volunteers in the community about the various volunteer opportunities in the area.

For more information about the event, or to RSVP, please call 604-542-4357.

In this week’s edition of Local Flavours, Sanderson shares her recipe for Toffee Bars, a dessert she discovered 35 years ago from a friend who brought the bars to her bridal shower.

“It’s so easy, it’s something I always bake at Christmas,” she said.

Toffee BarsIngredients:1 cup margarine1 cup firmly packed brown sugar1 egg yolk1 tsp. vanilla2 cups flour6 ounces chocolate chips

Instructions:Lightly cream margarine, brown sugar, egg

yolk and vanilla. Blend flour into margarine mixture. Press into greased 13 by nine-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and while it’s still hot, spread with chocolate chips. When chocolate has melted, spread over the top of the bar to cover completely. Cool thoroughly and cut into bars or squares.

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 encour-aging our supporters to spend their precious time doing two good deeds at once – bleed and feed!,” Ed Yee, director of donor and clinic services

for CBS’ B.C. and Yukon region, said in a release.

Until Dec. 31, food collection boxes will be supplied at all clin-ics, including those at Star of the Sea Centre (15262 Pacific Ave.),

Cloverdale Catholic Parish Cen-tre (17475 59 Ave.) and the Sur-rey Blood Donor Clinic (10-6830 King George Blvd.).

Food collected in White Rock will be donated to the White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank, and items collected in Surrey will benefit 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,” Food Banks BC president Don Armstrong said.

Over the holiday season, blood is needed for trauma victims, chemotherapy patients, cardiac surgeries and organ transplants.

In the Lower Mainland, CBS needs to collect 5,900 dona-tions to keep up with hospital demand.

The next White Rock clinic will be Dec. 17 from 1 to 8 p.m., while the next Cloverdale clinic is Dec. 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Surrey Blood Donor Clinic is open Wednesdays and Thurs-days from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

To find a clinic near you, or to book an appointment, call 1-888-2-DONATE.

WILLS & ESTATES J. LorneGinther

Barrister & Solicitor

Answer: In 1843 when the city of Victoria was founded before the settling of the international boundary between the United States and the two British Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, the colonists of the two separate colonies required a more formal system of justice than was provided by the de facto government of the day, the Hudson's Bay Company.

For centuries in Britain, there was a separation between the lawyers who presented cases to Court, and those who didn't. The lawyers that conducted trials were called barristers, after the "bar" that separated the judges and lawyers from the public. All other legal functions were performed by solicitors. That name evolved from the old french term solicitor meaning "to urge". Solicitors drew all commercial documents such as contracts, conveyances, leases, and all court documents for all lawsuits.

Barristers themselves were separated into two classes, Queen's (or King's) Counsel, and Junior barristers. Becoming a Queen's Counsel was called "taking the silk" because only they could wear a silk gown. (Yes, they are called gowns, even though some macho counsel wrongly call them robes). Juniors wore "stuff" gowns made of wool.

When a client wanted to sue someone, or defend himself from a lawsuit, he went to a solicitor who prepared all court documents, conducted the examinations for discoveries, and attempted all settlements.

If a trial became necessary, the solicitor prepared a "brief" which included all documents necessary for the case to be presented. The solicitor then chose a barrister to present the case to Court. The solicitor traditionally tied a pink ribbon around the "brief" and gave it to the barrister. After reading the "brief" the barrister re-interviewed the witnesses, and conducted the trial.

In our two thinly populated colonies of the 1840's, there were neither enough cases nor enough lawyers to provide both a barrister and solicitor in every community, so there was a fusion of the two, and voila - "Barrister and Solicitor". It meant that a small community's legal needs could be met by one person.

A bit of trivia: In England barristers only address their fellow barristers by their single last name, for example, "Ginther" not "Mr. Ginther", never "Lorne" - just "Ginther". The last person to continue this practice in B.C. was Allan McEachern, the late Chief Justice of B.C.

More trivia: The horsehair wigs still worn by barristers in England, were abolished in B.C. in 1905.

Even more trivia: Lawyers and Judges wear black in court because when Queen Anne died of smallpox at the age of 32 in 1694, the whole of England was grief striken, similar to when Princess Diana died, and nearly everyone in the nation wore black. Judges and barristers still do. In the USA, judges still wear black because Queen Anne died eighty years before the Declaration of Independence, and was queen of the thirteen colonies.

Why do lawyers in British Columbiacall themselves Barristers and Solicitors?

What was old became new again at a local fundraiser earlier this month, when guests brought gently used items to be auctioned off for Atira Women’s Resource Society, which has a White Rock office.

The second annual Shop ‘n’ Share raised $1,280 for the non-profit soci-ety, which supports women and their

children experiencing violence. Sponsor Janet Williams – owner of

the Peninsula’s Magic Homestaging – held the Dec. 7 event at her house, which was decorated in purple for Christmas.

“Everyone is looking forward to next year and exceeding this year’s amount,” Williams said.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A wave of atheist advertising intended to provoke skepticism about the existence of God could soon be coming to TransLink buses and SkyTrains.

Centre for Inquiry Canada execu-tive director Justin Trottier says the organization plans to bring two ad campaigns to Metro Vancouver in the new year.

One could be a re-run of transit ads placed in other cities that advised: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”

The organization also aims to launch a second set of ads that lump together Christ, Allah, Zeus, psy-chics, UFOs and Bigfoot under the slogan “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

Trottier said they’re not mocking people of faith or attacking religious belief, but want to promote awareness of non-believers and their right to free speech.

“We are a critical-thinking pro-science skeptical organization,” he said, adding the group also wants to shine a dubious light on alternative medicine, including homeopathy and acupuncture.

The centre’s website, www.extraor-dinary-claims.com, includes critiques of dozens of beliefs, therapies and phenomena, including Ogopogo, vampires, ghosts, Ouija boards,

karma, Feng Shui, astrology, auras and reiki. Trottier rejects criticisms the group stands for nothing.

“We believe in evidence,” he said. “We believe that the scientific method, which calls for evidence and reason and logic, is worthy of belief and even passionate defence.”

TransLink says two different groups are in discussions with the firm that handles transit system advertising but no booking has yet been made.

A Supreme Court of Canada rul-ing in 2009 struck down TransLink’s previous policy of rejecting political or controversial ads that might spark conflict among passengers or with bus drivers.

“We do not have the ability as we did before to decline advertising cam-paigns that are advocacy or political or whatever,” TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said. “Unless a campaign gravely offends community standards, we’re required to run it.”

Atheists plan new transit-ad offensive

The former operator of a Chilliwack-based cow-sharing co-op has been found in contempt of court for illegally distributing raw milk but isn’t expected to be punished.

Alice Jongerden of Home On The Range dairy “willfully disobeyed” a March 2010 court order barring her from making raw milk available to cow-share members, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Dec. 2.

But because Jongerden left the business this fall, turning the cows over to new operator Michael Schmidt – a raw milk activist farmer from Ontario – she won’t be penalized.

Schmidt, operating under the name Our Cows, says he intends to market the unpasteurized dairy products for cosmetic purposes.

“It doesn’t affect us at all,” said Schmidt, who denies drinkable milk will still flow to members. “We’re having a whole cosmetic line of Cleopatra bathing milk, facial mask, body lotion and stuff like that.”

Health officials aren’t yet convinced that will be the case.

Jongerden tried to skirt B.C.’s law banning the sale or distribution of unpasteurized milk by simply slapping on “not for human consumption” labels.

Justice Nathan Smith ruled Jongerden must have known her clients would disregard the label and continue to

drink the milk as they had before.

Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe said health officers intend to wait 30 days to ensure Jongerden doesn’t appeal the decision and then take a close look at Schmidt’s operation.

“If we think there’s still a violation going on, we’ll consider further action at that time, but we have to take a wait-and-see approach.”

Thorpe said Fraser Health has also asked Health Canada, which regulates cosmetic products, to examine Our Cows.

Unpasteurized raw milk is defined as a health hazard in B.C.

Justice Smith ruled the prohibition on distributing raw milk is “absolute” and that simply warning consumers not to drink it isn’t enough.

“It is not for the court

to consider the merits of the public policy or the science on which that legislation is based,” he found.

“Ms. Jongerden may favour a system that permits the distribution of raw milk with appropriate health warnings, as is the case with certain other products deemed to be hazardous, but that is not what the present legislation provides.”

Spring Bridal ShowcaseFebruary 28, 2011


The cow-sharing co-op model was used originally to get around B.C.’s rules banning the sale of raw milk. Farmers are allowed to drink their own raw milk, so it was argued the 450 co-op members across the Lower Mainland weren’t buying milk – they were simply drinking the liquid dividends from their part-share in the operation.

Medical health officers say raw milk is dangerous and linked to documented outbreaks of illness in North America.

Advocates claim raw milk conveys probiotic and other health benefits absent from pasteurized milk.


Lower Mainland housing prices have posted thin gains over the past year.

Detached houses rose 5.6 per cent from one year ago to a benchmark price of $799,000, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

Attached homes on average gained 4.1 per cent to $488,000 while condos were up 1.9 per cent to $389,000 in November compared to the same month in 2009.

The Greater Vancouver association covers Metro Vancouver except Surrey, North Delta, White Rock and Langley.

In those areas and points further east, benchmark detached homes are up an average 1.4 per cent from a year ago to $504,000, according to the Fraser Val-ley Real Estate Board.

Townhomes are up 1.9 per cent to $319,000 and condos gained 2.7 per cent from a year earlier to $242,000.

The biggest gain in one-year prices have been in detached houses on Vancouver’s west side, which are up nearly 18 per cent to $1.7 million.

Richmond houses were up 13.7 per cent to $920,000.

On the downside, the stats show Port Moody houses have slid more than 10 per cent from a year

ago to $719,500.The median price of Abbotsford townhouses fell

about 16 per cent to $230,000.Realtors report consistent home sales and rela-

tively stable prices, with continued low mortgage rates helping shore up buyer demand.

“Home values have been relatively stable over the last five months compared to the summer period when we were seeing some downward pressure on prices,” said Jake Moldowan, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

Totem boys top Mariners at provincialsNick GreenizanSports Reporter

Two years ago, four Semiahmoo Totems – Jake Klassen, Liam Murphy-Burke, Josh Sigurdson and Matt Bonshor – won provincial gold in their first seasons of senior boys volleyball.

On Saturday, the quartet of Grade 12s won it again in their last year, too, defeating their crosstown rivals from Earl Marriott 3-0 in the title game of triple-A boys B.C. High School Vol-leyball Championships in Kelowna.

“It’s pretty amazing, and to have two gold med-als in three years is pretty great, pretty special,”

said Semiahmoo coach Kyra Iannone. “I’m just so happy with how we played – we

peaked at exactly the right time.”The provincial banner provided a dose of

redemption for the Totems, too, after under-achieving at last year’s B.C. championship. The team was highly ranked going into provincials then, too, but struggled to a sixth-place finish.

As had been the case in a handful of previous meetings this season, the Totems – who also won a provincial title in 2005 – proved to simply be too much for the Mariners in the Saturday evening tilt; Earl Marriott had only beat Semi-

ahmoo once in six tries prior to provincials, and also dropped a round robin “power pool” game to the champs earlier in the B.C. tournament.

Making matters worse, EMS was forced to play the title game without Grade 12 power hitter Keenan McMullin, who sprained his ankle in the Mariners’ semifinal victory over the Riverside Rapids.

“It’s a bit disappointing, but we were down a man and that made it tough,” said EMS coach Richard Thain.

“But there’s no excuses. We played the best that Contributed photoThe Totems celebrate after the win.

A pair of Bayside Sharks sides are bound for provincial finals, after winning their respec-tive Lower Mainland titles Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Bayside’s U15 and U17 boys teams both advanced, with the U15s defeating Abbots-ford 29-15, and the U17s following suit with a 45-17 victory over Capilano.

The U15 Sharks were led by flyhalf Nick Collett, who finished with two tries and a pair of converts, while prop Sam Kim, winger Josh

Mahlman and scrumhalf Andrew O’Connor all added tries. O’Connor’s tally was par-ticularly impressive, coming on a 40-metre solo dash that coach Andy Blackburn called “dazzling.”

Blackburn was also quick to praise the work of his back row, namely Christian Haldane – who made several big tackles before having to leave the game with a broken foot – and Dane Gordon.

After staking themselves to an early lead,

Bayside had to hold back a resilient Abby squad late in the second half. The Fraser Valley visitors scored a pair of tries in the last eight minutes, but weren’t able to get any closer to the Sharks, who claimed the Lower Mainland winner’s plaque after the contest.

Like their U15 brethen, the U17 Sharks also came out of the gate strong, taking a 17-0 first-half lead.

“We came out flying,” head coach Adam Roberts said.

Robert Jones scored two tries for the Sharks, who also got single tries from Ian McMaster, James McKenzie, Liam Beaulieu and Quin-ton Wilms, who also added a handful of converts.

Both the U15 and U17s will battle Oak Bay’s Castaway Wanderers in the B.C. finals Sun-day at South Surrey Athletic Park. The U15 game kicks off at 12:30 p.m., followed by the U17 championship tilt at 1:30 p.m.

Coming into the AAAA B.C. High School Girls Volleyball Champion-ships, the Earl Marriott Mariners were ranked third, and that’s exactly where they finished, after a bronze-medal victory over Richmond’s McRob-erts Secondary.

The Mariners went the entirety of the 16-team tournament, held at Dover Bay Secondary in Nanaimo, with just a single loss, a 3-2 defeat in semifinals at the hands of the Riverside Rapids, from Coquitlam.

Earl Marriott nearly advanced to the

finals – they had the Rapids on the ropes in the fourth game, and needed just four points to end it, but couldn’t quite close the game, and Riverside battled back to win the fourth, as well

as the fifth match.Earl Marriott’s Brianna

Beamish and Alyssa Wolf – both members of Mar-

riott’s provincial title-winning junior team two

years ago – were named to the first all-star team.

The provincial banner was won by North Van-

couver’s Handsworth Royals, who knocked off Riverside to claim the AAAA senior girls championship for a third consecutive year.

we could with the guys we had, and just came up a little bit short against a really good team.

“I’m really proud of the guys. We’re a fairly young team – we only have three Grade 12s – and they made it further than I ever thought they would.”

In the power-pool portion of the tournament, neither Semi-ahmoo nor Earl Marriott domi-nated the field.

The Totems lost their open-ing match to the G.P. Vanier Towhees, while EMS fell to Fraser Heights.

“It was our first game, and we were nervous – there were some jitters we had to get out,” said Iannone of her team’s loss.

Next, Semi defeated Fraser Heights and the Mariners knocked off Vanier.

In the third and final power-pool game for each team, Semi beat Earl Marriott.

In the Round of 16, Semi opened with a victory over Kil-larney, beat Eric Hamber in quarter-finals and the host Kel-owna Owls in semis en route to the finals, while EMS beat Pen-ticton, Oak Bay and Riverside to get to the final contest.

Iannone was quick to credit both the team’s legions of sup-porters who made the trek to Kelowna – “We’re like one big family,” she said – as well as her two assistant coaches, Annie Klassen and Ben Chow, a UBC

player who led Fleetwood Park to a provincial title last year.

“Ben flew up after his last UBC practice and really inspired the guys – they really respect him a lot,” said Iannone.

All four Totem seniors from the 2008 team earned post-tourna-ment awards. Jake Klassen was named MVP, while first-team all-star nods went to Sigurdson, Bonshor and Murphy-Burke.

“Jake and Josh played the best volleyball of their lives,” Iannone said.

Earl Marriott’s Ryan Thain was also named a first-team all-star, while McMullin and Elliot Stew-art made the second team.

A fourth Mariner, Jim Bell, was given an honourable mention.

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

Last week was a busy one for the Surrey Eagles, but ultimately a success, as the B.C. Hockey League club won three of four games, and managed a point even in the loss.

Last Wednesday, Surrey edged the Coquitlam Express 4-3 in overtime, and then took their show on the road, first coming back from a 3-0 deficit – keyed by the recently returned Rich-ard Vanderhoek (see sidebar) – to beat the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday, followed by a 4-2 win over the Salmon Arm Silver-back Saturday.

The only blip on the scorecard came Sunday afternoon, when the Eagles – playing barely 16 hours after the win in Salmon Arm – lost 2-1 to the Vernon Vipers in overtime.

The Birds still picked up a point in the OT loss, and now sport a record of 19-11-1-2, good for fourth place and 41 points in the Coastal Conference. They’re just one point back of the third-place Victoria Grizzlies, and just four points shy of the Langley Chiefs, who sit in second. The Powell River Kings are atop the confer-ence, with 52 points; they’ve lost just five games all season.

In Wednesday’s win over the Express, Eagles’ rookie Cobi Smith-Mass led the way, scoring his first two goals of the season.

Dale Hunt, 20, was the over-time hero, scoring 4:44 into the extra frame, and Daniel Gentzler also added a goal for the Eagles,

who peppered Coquitlam goalie Khaleed Devji with 43 shots on net.

Friday, Vanderhoek – who left the team last month to join the Western Hockey League’s Van-couver Giants before returning to the flock – flew to Trail to meet back up with the team, arriving just an hour and a half before the game. He barely missed a beat reunited with centre Brad McGowan, scoring twice in the second period while also adding an assist on Hunt’s game-winner in the third.

Trail jumped out to a 3-0 lead just nine minutes into the first period, before the Eagles clawed their way back. Hunt’s winner – his second goal of the game – came with under six minutes left in the third.

Vanderhoek and McGowan led the way Saturday in Salmon Arm, too. Vanderhoek had two more goals, and McGowan finished with a goal and an assist. Scott Holm also scored an unassisted marker in the second period to round out the scoring.

Hunt, with his third of the weekend, was the lone Eagle to bulge the twine against the Vipers Sunday, but the real star for the Peninsula squad was goaltender Karel St-Larent.

The 20-year-old stopped 48 of 50 shots he faced, and was named the game’s second star.

After four games last week, Surrey’s schedule is lighter this week. They host Coquitlam tonight (Wednesday) at South Surrey Arena, and play Powell River Friday, also at home.

‘I wasn’t having much fun’

The Surrey Eagles got an unexpected early Christmas gift last week – the return of Richard Vanderhoek from the land of the Giants.

Vanderhoek, 19, returned to the team in time for Friday’s game in Trail, after originally leaving last month to play for the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants.

His stay in Vancouver was a short one, lasting a little over two weeks, and only one game. Vanderhoek – brought into the fold to add depth to the Giants’ offensive attack – only appeared in a Giants uniform for a Nov. 19 tilt against the Regina Pats.

“I just wasn’t having very much fun,” said Vanderhoek. “I was having a pretty good season in Surrey before I left, and I missed playing with the guys.”

Before leaving the Eagles, the Langley native had 43 points in just 25 games.

In his first weekend back with Surrey, Vanderhoek scored four goals.

LUNENBERG, N.S.: Time and fi nancial meltdowns wait for no man (or woman).

While Canada got off relatively lightly two years ago when the world seemed on the verge of a banking collapse, other countries, especially where cars are made, did not.

Mitsubishi was just one Japanese manufacturer that pulled in its horns, slowing down the new model pipeline and holding pat.

But it may have had a silver lining.Take the Mitsubishi RVR compact CUV just now hitting

Canadian showroom fl oors.If you look in the engine bay, you’ll see a 2.0-litre inline

four-cylinder engine with a lot of space around it.That’s because this CUV was probably signed off three

years ago when Mitsu’s 2.4-litre or even a V6 was planned. It gave Mitsubishi the breathing space to move to a smaller power plant.

As it turns out, consumers are more than ever going for fuel effi ciency that makes the RVR with a 2.0-litre an attractive proposition.

The 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing produces 148 hp and 145 lb/ft of torque. It is available with front-wheel-drive (FWD) or Mitsubishi’s take on all-wheel-drive that they call All-Wheel-Control (AWC).

In the U.S. the RVR will be sold as the Outlander Sport, but the Canadian arm thought that might be confusing so they went with the RVR name that is used in Japan. RVR, by the way, doesn’t stand for anything. The rationale is it just sounds cool.

The RVR will be sold in SE and GT models and four trim levels. Pricing starts at $21,998 for the base SE FWD with fi ve-speed manual transmission and $23,196 for the same model with a six-speed CVT. The AWC version with CVT starts at $24,998. Lastly the fully trimmed GT with panoramic glass roof and Sportronic CVT comes in at $28,498.

With its 2.0-litre engine, the RVR has very competitive fuel economy numbers of 8.7/6.4/7.6L/100 km city/highway/combined for the FWD manual. With the CVT FWD or AWC, fuel consumption is the same at 8.4/6.6/7.6L/100 km. Note the combined fuel number is the same for all four trim levels.

While all the exterior panels including recycled plastic fenders are different from the Outlander, underneath it is the same platform. The RVR is shorter at the rear than Outlander but it still has a large amount of passenger volume which is good.

In terms of cargo, there are 1,402 litres (49.5 cu ft) behind the front seat and with the 60/40 split rear seat folded fl at. That decreases slightly to 1,383 litres (40.8 cu ft) with the panoramic roof in place.

Cargo space behind the back seat is 914 litres (21.7 cu ft) or, for a Lunenberg comparison, room for a lobster trap.

The RVR is, like most Mitsubishi products, stoutly built, which you feel in the chassis that is void of any torsional issues that I could feel. This happens sometimes when you built a CUV on a sedan platform with the added weight and higher centre of gravity leading to increased loads on the chassis members.

Driving south of Halifax is the Lighthouse Route which is highly recommended to anyone regardless of the time of year.

Winding up and down through spotless and vibrantly colorful towns like Bridgewater is a treat.

Here the RVR benefi tted from the six speeds of the CVT but the 2.0-litre still had its work cut out for it. I was driving the GT with the sequential manual mode Sportronic with paddle shifters. This was better on the short, sharp hill climbs.

We did not do a lot of main highway driving but the RVR acquitted itself well with passing not being an issue. Up around 100 km/h there was some wind noise that seemed to be coming from the very large windshield wipers.

On the AWC models there is a very large rotary knob on the transmission tunnel to select drive mode including “lock” that locks up all four wheels for driving on poor surfaces.

Appreciated on the back roads was the hill holding system that helps prevent rollback from a standing start.

Safety is a big plus starting with seven airbags including one for the driver’s knees.

Every RVR features ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist System and Brake Override System; Active Stability Control; Traction Control Logic; Hill Start Assist; and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System as standard.

In panic situations, drivers sometimes hit the gas and brake pedals at the same time. If this occurs, the Brake Override System will disregard the throttle input and allow the vehicle to be stopped.

Mitsubishi is proud of the Super-wide High Intensity Discharge lights on the GT. These headlamps have a much wider beam of light than traditional HID headlamps, providing much safer illumination at night.

Speaking of light, the panoramic glass ceiling provides tons of it. This is the biggest one I’ve seen yet running from just aft of the windshield almost to the rear liftgate. It is fi xed but there is a powered shade.

And just to add a bit of cool, the panoramic window has surround LED mode lighting.

The size of the cargo area is mentioned above, but the back split seats are interesting. They not only fold fl at for large items but also adjust simply and easily to a “cargo” angle (17 degrees) or to the passenger-seating angle of 23 degrees. The cargo angle adds just that little extra space that can be valuable with large, square loads like a monster screen LCD TV for Christmas.

At the press launch in Lunenberg, Mitsubishi offi cials said they believe the RVR will hit the “sweet spot” with Canadian consumers.

Buoying this belief is the fact Mitsubishi dealers delivered 1,847 units, up 27.2 per cent from the same month last year and topping the previous best October by 400 units.

And for Mitsubishi, with only eight years in operation in Canada, the RVR looks as if it is coming at just the right time.

Mitsubishi joins in the compact SUV party.

The 2011 Mitsubishi RVR is the newest entry into the red-hot Canadian compact CUV segment. It is in step with Canadian consumers who want the utility a CUV provides but with the best fuel economy possible.

The interior of the 2011 Mitsubishi RVR shows the Japanese automaker has been listening and

has done away with the hard plastics and lack lustre trim.
