Surrey wants say in pipeline hearings City applies for intervenor status in $5.4-million Kinder Morgan project

by Kevin Diakiw EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Galloping into the Lunar New Year

Members of the Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu Association perform a lion dance at the DIVERSEcity office in Newton Tuesday afternoon. The group performed the annual Lunar New Year celebration to help ring in the Year of the Horse.

SURREY IS applying for intervenor status in the upcoming

hearings on the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

The $5.4-billion project would nearly triple the capacity of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline to 890,000 barrels per day.

Closing the door on 23 years of civic service Marvin Hunt steps down from Surrey council

by Kevin Diakiw STANDING IN his city hall office,

Marvin Hunt is packing up the last of his things.

The walls, formerly covered in family photos, are now bare, with only small nails serving as a

reminder they were there.

Tags on the chairs of his office are marked “Marvin Hunt, 5E 104,” indicating he would have been moving to the new city hall being built in Central City, fifth floor east, room 104.

Leaving still doesn’t feel real for

Hunt, who has served on Surrey council for more than 23 years.

Earlier this week he announced he’s stepping down as councillor, as his provincial role will be consuming more of his time.

Staff report: alignment of pipeline is ‘of importance...’

Eight new court rooms coming to Surrey Community-style court also promised: Mayor

From page 1 That would mean a seven-fold increase in shipments through Burrard Inlet, to about 400 oil tankers a year.

Surrey council voted Monday to proceed with an application as intervenor, which would give the city the most involved level of participation in the National Energy Board (NEB) hearing process. (On Tuesday, White Rock council also voted to pursue intervenor status).

Surrey staff recently met with a city property owner about the information supplied to him by Kinder Morgan (KM). That information indicates a variation in the alignment of the planned pipeline than the one earlier discussed with Surrey staff.

“The alignment of the pipeline is of importance to the city, and since it appears that KM is continuing to vary the alignment, it is considered important for the city to participate in the NEB process,” a staff report to council states.

The deadline to register for intervenor status is Feb. 12. To apply online, go to www.neb-one.gc.ca (see story below).

by Kevin Diakiw A COMMUNITY-TYPE court

Oil pipeline hearing sign-up deadline looms

by Jeff Nagel RESIDENTS AND others concerned

about the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline have until noon Feb. 12 to apply to participate in upcoming National Energy Board (NEB) hearings.

To apply online at www.neb-one. gc.ca, applicants must create a govenment log-in account or else use an existing one with a financial instittution, or ask to get a form by mail.

Environmental groups have complained the process is too onerous.

“The daunting application process seems set up to deter people from participating,” said Caitlyn Vernon of the Sierra Club.

Participation in NEB hearings is also limited to people directly affected by a project or who have relevant information or expertise.

Applicants must indicate they will speak to one of 12 issues the NEB has listed that it will consider, including environmental risks of the pipeline or tanker traffic to B.C. The NEB says it won’t consider the environmental and socio-economic effects of upstream activities, the development of Alberta’s oil sands or the downstream use of the oil transported by the pipeline.

Kinder Morgan filed its formal 15,000-page project application with the NEB in December and is promised an answer within 15 months – unlike the Northern Gateway pipeline process that spanned four years.

The proposed pipeline route largely parallels the existing 60-yearold pipeline through much of the Fraser Valley, but diverts away from heavily developed areas of Surrey, although it does run through Surrey Bend.

The $5.4-billion Kinder Morgan oil pipeline expansion would nearly triple the existing pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. If approved, 400 oil tankers a year would sail through Burrard Inlet, up from about 60 now.

system appears to finally be coming to Surrey, as the city and province strike a steering committee ahead of its creation.

The City of Surrey has been waiting for such a court since 2007, when it unveiled the Crime Reduction Strategy, of which a community court is key.

The court would hear cases involving drug offences, mental health problems or family matters such as domestic abuse.

Instead of just locking people in jail, where appropriate, they would be Suzanne Anton referred for support services, including drug and alcohol treatment, mental health care or anger management programs.

The details will be determined by the steering committee.

Langley and Chilliwack, entered into a memorandum of understanding with the province for the provision of more court rooms over 20 years.

Those municipalities have now completed their plans and have presented them to the province for consideration for future funding.

The plan calls for “high-priority” projects to be completed by 2018.

They include: five court rooms for Surrey ($26.2 million); and a 14-court room integrated courthouse, with five Supreme and nine provincial courtrooms, in Abbotsford ($63.7 million).

Longer-term projects include: a five-court room provincial courthouse in Langley ($21.2 million); three more court rooms for Surrey ($8.7 million); and an expansion of Chilliwack’s courthouse by two court rooms ($8.2 million).

“The five municipalities in this region have worked hard to come up with a strategy that will improve court operations in the Lower Fraser Valley for decades to come,” Anton said.

Watts said the new

facilities are welcome on this side of the Fraser River.

“Surrey fully supports the addition of 29 court rooms south of the Fraser,” Watts said. “This addition will most definitely improve access and reduce wait times.”

Supreme Court hears serious adult criminal, civil and family cases, and these matters are currently held only in Chilliwack, New Westminster and Vancouver.

Demand for these cases is largest in Surrey, followed by Abbotsford, Langley and Chilliwack, according to the report.

The plan will now be presented to the government for future capital funding approval.

LETTERS

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

He’s done Thanks for the memories Cop’s column the math

I JUST READ the Jan. 30 Leader and there are two corrections I’d like to suggest regarding two letters to the editor.

First, Frank G. Sterle Jr. is suggesting oil pipelines are vulnerable to earthquakes. This is certainly a risk.

However, the Alaska oil pipeline was built to withstand an 8.0-magnitude earthquake and during the 2002 Alaska quake, only minor damage was reported. It is possible to minimize the risk of earthquakes in pipeline design.

Second, Fred Perry is not quite right on his physics and there is no trick here, if you factor oxygen in.

The basic equation is 12g C + 32g O2 = 44g CO2. So, in theory, 12g of carbon makes 44g of CO2 – or 3.66 times the pollution by mass.

This aside, we are running out of easy oil and gas to extract and we have a major job ahead to find cleaner and economical energy sources.

We have a worldwide problem and we have to think big and locally also.

ON BEHALF of honourees Stan

and Shirley Fryer, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who helped make the 2014 Investors Group Walk for Memories a success.

Twenty-three events were held across the province, including White Rock, Surrey and North Delta, where we raised about $48,000 and we’re still counting.

A total of 350 people joined our Walk for Memories. Those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers are grateful for your support. If you would like to add a donation, please visit walkformemories.com Special thanks goes to our dedicated volunteer committee for the countless hours each member contributed. We also thank the Stan Fryer family for sharing their journey through this disease with the community.

Finally I would like to thank our event sponsor Investors Group. We look forward to seeing you next year: Jan. 25, 2015.

column more than when I read Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford’s column (“Put the phone away when you’re behind the wheel,” The Leader, Jan. 30.).

It was interesting to read what Cessford says about some of the accidents he has seen. The majority of people can only imagine how serious a crash can be and how it can haunt someone for life.

It sure hits a person’s heart when you see an elderly person crossing the street, a young parent pushing a baby buggy, kids with their parents crossing and families in their vehicles and then to think of the force that a distracted driver hits them at.

Thanks for your column, Jim Cessford. I hope we see results one day.

Surrey hit-and-run still unsolved – 20 years later RCMP are asking anyone who has information about the death of 60-year-old Gurbax Thind to come forward dead two hours later at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Surrey RCMP say investigators from several divisions have worked tirelessly on the case, while several appeals have gone out the to public, including a segment on Crime Stoppers – all to no avail.

It was Feb. 5, 1994 just before 9 p.m. when a woman left Tim Hortons at 96 Avenue and King George Boulevard and headed toward the 13400-block of 92 Avenue.

It was there she passed what she believed to be a body in a driveway.

She called 911, and became the first witness in a hit-and-run that continues to haunt the woman’s family and RCMP two decades later.

Bus, van hit two people Separate pedestrian accidents Monday injure man and woman

by Kevin Diakiw TWO PEOPLE were injured in two separate pedestrian accidents Monday.

At just after 1 p.m., a 67-year-old woman stepped out in front of a bus at 140 Street and 78A Avenue.

She suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

Then after 6 p.m., two men were crossing Fraser Highway when a minivan was turning left from 159 Street onto Fraser Highway.

A 79-year-old Surrey man was struck and may have suffered fractured legs.

Another man, 32, was also hit but was uninjured.

The driver remained on the scene and was issued a ticket for failing to yield to a pedestrian.

Delta woman fatally stabbed husband: Crown Beatrice Thomas on trial for second-degree murder of Quannah O’Soup

by Sheila Reynolds ACCUSED NORTH Delta

murderer Beatrice Thomas was partying with two friends and her common-law husband Quannah O’Soup the night she stabbed him to death, Crown prosecutors say.

Beatrice Thomas

Thomas, 38, is currently on trial for second-degree murder in connection with O’Soup’s death on July 3, 2011.

The Crown’s theory is that Thomas and O’Soup were at their home near 115 Street and 80 Avenue with two others who were

staying at the house at the time. The four were drinking and all except one of the friends had also been smoking crack cocaine, said Crown prosecutor Jennifer Lopes in her opening statement Tuesday at B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

It was just after midnight when it’s alleged Thomas and O’Soup got into an altercation.

Lopes contended the two had gone into the living room, leaving their friends in the kitchen, when Thomas was overheard verbally confronting O’Soup.

There were “noises” and a “crash,” Lopes said, and the two friends entered the living room to find O’Soup lying on the floor.

Lopes said O’Soup suffered a single stab wound to his left chest that punctured his lung and heart. The 38-yearold succumbed to his injury at the scene and Thomas was arrested.

Two of Thomas’s kids were at home at the time, but did not wit-

Sgt. David Winderg, with the RCMP’s forensics section, was the first witness called at trial. He testified attending the duplex in North Delta shortly after the murder, entering the home to find a male lying face up on the living room floor with his shirt off. There was “very little blood,” he said.

Winderg said he took photographs at the scene, and the next day, took pictures of Thomas’s clothing. He saw no blood on her jacket, blouse or bra and a small red smear on her shorts. Winderg said he also photographed Thomas, who was in custody.

Defence lawyer Victoria Desroches questioned his assertion that he didn’t notice any injuries on Thomas, noting she remained fully clothed, and wore a jacket and slippers.

Winderg said he only looked for injuries on her hands, and could only see her legs from the knee to ankle.

Thomas sat quietly beside Desroches throughout the court proceedings. She is not in custody.

The trial is expected to continue through next week.

An announcement will be made tomorrow (Friday) of a $20,000 donation to the Ed Schellenberg Memorial

The fund was created with money raised by five golf tournaments organized in memory of both Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan, another innocent bystander in the slaying.

The Mystery of Road Carnage Complacency

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

O

Barrister & Solicitor

ne of the great mysteries of modern motorized culture is our collective tolerance for death and injury from road crashes. We say we are not and certainly we can point to significant statistical improvements. But the evidence is still overwhelming that we are, and, indeed, we have devised many livelihoodsupporting work-arounds.

Any level of risk is intolerable when it comes to air and rail transport, food allergens, work place danger—which often includes road transport duties. Road usage is, however, perceived to be a right that we wish to exercise freely in accordance with our own standards of risk tolerance. If roughly 2,000 people die every year in Canada from road crashes and ten times that number are injured, we blame human behavioural causes and tend not to question the notion that everything that can be done is being done to make our vehicles and roads as safe as possible, given the state of modern engineering and technology.

We wait patiently for the next development in knowledge, the next refinement of technology that will bolster the improvement trend. In the meantime, fatality and injury rates, however much lowered, remain at levels that we would deem horrific and completely unacceptable from any other cause.

Most traffic safety experts struggle with this terrible mystery. They know the statistics, they read the academic and scientific studies, they propose solutions that may or may not be

implemented for any number of complicated political or budgetary reasons, governments, after all, holding almost all the cards when it comes to our road systems. And, recently, one such expert, Ian Johnston, an Australian human factors engineer and long time road safety advocate has taken to the airwaves to challenge all of us to realize two things: that while bad driving behaviour is a contributing factor to road carnage, it is less significant than we are constantly being told. Secondly, says Mr. Johnson, we are overly accepting that our governments are always working to make things better.

Acceptance, says Mr. Johnson, from the public’s ignorance “of the true extent of road trauma; …—or of the widespread and long-lasting impacts—of serious injuries.”

He likens driving to playing golf: “We don’t want to slice or hook” but we do. When this happens on the road, when the complicated judgments we are asked to make instantaneously don’t always avoid collision, the ‘fault’ may be in the system itself. He points out many ways in which our road systems amplify the terrible consequences of small but inevitable human error.

Ian Johnston’s considerable expertise is detailed in a Wikipedia profile. His interview

by CBC’s Michael Enright on the February 2nd, 2014 edition of The Sunday Edition is a podcast. Extracts of his latest book, Eliminating Serious Injury and Death from Road Transport, A Crisis of Complacency co-authored with Carlyn Muir and Eric Howard, are online. One sentence perhaps best sums up its revolutionary purpose: The real message [of governments] should be that the societal risks of daily road use remain in the top rank of public health problems in the twenty-first century and demand a commensurate response.

Bowling alley owner facing sex charges Thomas Cooper denies the allegations

by Sheila Reynolds THE CO-OWNER of a Surrey bowling establishment

has been charged with seven sex-related offences involving minors.

Thomas Charles Cooper, 43, faces two counts each of sexual exploitation, exposing genitals to a person under 16, communicating via computer to lure a child under 16 and one count of sexual interference of a person under 16 The alleged offences took place between June 2012 and March 2013. Surrey RCMP confirmed the charges Monday, saying they were laid last May after a two-month investigation.

Cooper is owner of Dell Lanes and Sports Lounge in North Surrey. The allegations have not been proven in court.

Cooper told The Leader Monday the charges levied against him are patently false.

“Oh yeah, we’ve got a good lawyer and we’re going to be fighting it and we’ll prove it in court,” Cooper said. “That’s all we can do.”

He said it’s unfortunate unproven allegations might damage the business he’s owned for 11 years.

“They’re charges, they’re not convictions,” Cooper said. “It’s a shame, because it could hurt a lot of people working and a lot of the employees we have here could lose their jobs (if the business takes a downturn because of it).”

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said police did not warn the public about Cooper because investigators saw little likelihood of other victims.

And though conditions were put on Cooper that he not be anywhere that anyone under age 18 may be expected to be, the conditions do not apply to his workplace.

“Mr. Cooper has been charged, not convicted, so based on that, we can’t take his livelihood away from him,” said Paquet. “However, strict conditions were set to ensure the safety of everybody attending his place of employment, which is a public place.”

Paquet said he is also being monitored by police.

Cooper’s next court appearance is March 11 and his trial is slated to begin April 14.

Former B.C. Lion loses appeal of convictions Josh Boden wanted guilty verdicts for police assault and obstruction overturned

by Sheila Reynolds

FORMER B.C. Lion Josh Boden’s convictions for assaulting and obstructing a police officer after grabbing a woman’s buttocks will stand.

Boden lost his appeal of the convictions late last year but the written B.C. Supreme Court ruling was just released last week.

Vancouver Police had Boden under surveillance in September 2009 because he was a

suspect in several sexual assaults in the downtown Vancouver area.

An undercover officer saw Boden approach a woman from behind and grab her rear end.

After the incident, when a constable and police dog approached him to arrest him, Boden tried to run.

A lengthy physical struggle ensued, which included the dog.

Boden suffered 20 bites, but not before fighting with and striking two

police officers, and shouting, “What did I do? What did I do?”

It took five officers to eventually control Boden.

In December 2011, he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault, as well as assault a police officer and obstructing a police officer.

He appealed the latter two charges on the grounds that police didn’t state the reasons for his arrest, which

entitled him to resist as he did.

In his ruling, Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen said the convictions should stand.

Boden, a backup wide receiver, made the Lions CFL team in 2007, but was released after being charged with domestic assault and robbery in 2008. Though the charges were dropped, the Lions did not resign him.

Boden was picked up by the Hamilton

Tiger-Cats but cut after a single game.

Before he went pro, he played for the Cana-

dian Junior Football League’s South Surrey Rams (now the Langley Rams), earning a slew

of awards that earned him an invitation to the B.C. Lions training camp in 2005.

We Treat Seasonal Allergies

NATURALLY Naturopathic medicine may be your answer!

B.C. Supreme Court ordered return to 2002 rules

by Tom Fletcher

Dr. Jheeta

Spring is upon us and for many this means the beginning of seasonal allergies. Hayfever is an inappropriate immune response by the body to essentially harmless substances. Symptoms include itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, wheezing and headaches. People often mistake these symptoms for a cold, however a cold my include a fever.

Treatments include herbal and homeopathic medicines, and glandular substances – aimed at reducing the body’s inappropriate immune response. Unlike most over-the-counter medications, we treat the cause, not just the symptoms – with no side effects, dependencies, toxicities, drowsiness or rebound congestion.

Recent advances in the treatment of allergies include intravenous Vitamin therapy. This involves using large amounts of specific nutrients injected directly into the bloodstream, alleviating the symptoms for months at a time.

“The Avid Service Award is the first award to honour exceptional employees located throughout Canada,” says Tim Bailey, Division President of Avid Ratings Canada.” We are proud to recognize these special individuals, professionals who

The award is given to employees who scored about the top fifth percentile in customer satisfaction according to the Avid Ratings Canada GoSurvey program. Adera Development Corp.’s Karen Hansen is another local recipient of the award.

The awards are given to employees who deliver outstanding service to customers.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Portrait Homes has always prided itself on its approach to customer service, and has been the recipient of many Avid Awards in the past, including an Avid Gold Award in 2013 and an Avid Diamond Award in 2012, both for Best Customer Service Experience in Canada, and this customer service award for Houghton continues building that reputation.

Adera is offering West Coast living at Breeze, their townhouse development in South Surrey that includes exterior cedar details, above, modern kitchens with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, top right, and chic laminate flooring and oversized windows, right.

Catching the Breeze in South Surrey

By Kerry Vital

West Coast living is at its finest at Breeze, Adera’s townhouse development in South Surrey with more than a touch of earthy, modern style.

“There has been a lot of interest in these homes,” says Adera’s Vice-President of marketing and sales Eric Andreasen. “It’s quite exciting.”

Breeze is built in a West Coast Modern architectural style, with soaring roof lines, overhanging soffits and cedar details. Lush landscaping surrounds the buildings, adding to the beauty of the development.

Oversized windows are featured in many of the homes, letting natural light pour in.

“It gives you a real indoor-outdoor living feel,” Andreasen says.

Entertaining is easy at Breeze, with its spacious, open floorplans. The kitchens, which Andreasen describes as “the heartbeat of the home”, are perfect for hosting, with their generously sized dining islands.

The quartz countertops are chic and modern, complemented by a designer glass tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances and Metropolitan Evoke Wide Plank laminate flooring, which is also featured throughout the living and dining areas.

Buyers at Breeze are also able to customize their home through the i.D. By Me program.

This allows you to make choices for your home to truly make it your own through choosing your colour scheme and upgrading your finishes and fixtures. Among the long list of options and upgrades available are adding heated floors, custom millwork, air conditioning or a gourmet appliance package.

Breeze’s amenity building, the West Coast Club, opened in November and is already one of the most impressive parts of the community With a fitness centre, yoga room, entertainment room with fully equipped kitchen, pool table, big-screen TV and large outdoor patio, it’s an amenity space that Adera is extremely proud of.

“It’s a real social space,” says Andreasen.

“You can meet friends here or just relax.”

Located in the Morgan Heights

neighbourhood, Breeze is close to nearly everything you can imagine, from shopping and dining at Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners to leisure and recreation activities, schools and Crescent Beach.

“You’re within striking distance of downtown Vancouver and the U.S. border,” Andreasen says, adding that this contributes to the popularity of Breeze among young professionals. Transit is also close by, so you can easily leave your car at home if you so choose.

For a very limited time, Adera is offering a special buyers incentive up to $15,000 on select homes. Homes at Breeze start in the low 300s. For more information, visit www. adera.com, call 604-582-1113 or visit the presentation centre at #15-16223 23A Avenue, open daily between noon and 5 p.m.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Honda knows how to make a good, solid car—and for 2014—things just got a little more interesting.

Zack Spencer

Visit the 2014 Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinary Tampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive.

The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing.

Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 model. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

Looks The styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sportier look with a bit more aggression.

The most aggressive version of both

the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduction of Display Audio system that is available From fuel on the EX and Touring economy to reliability, models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen resale value, cost design that lets the driver of ownership and access many functions Inside sportiness the 2014 from the radio to apps One of the reasons that Honda Civic is a good that piggyback off your the Civic is the best iPhone. (No Android apps selling car in Canada is choice yet but they are working the practical, yet sporty Zack Spencer on this.) This taps into the interior in both the sedan power of your phone, in and coupe. Many people, the big screen, with full including me, didn’t integration. I liked the speed and funcinitially like the split dash with the tion of the design but really missed a speedometer on the top and the tarotary dial to adjust the volume over a chometer on the bottom, but over time touch screen volume design.

economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an inhouse continuously variable transmission (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design.

In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car.

The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great complement. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

Verdict Honda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice.

The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary.

They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014t hings just got a little bit more interesting.

The Lowdown Power: 1.8L 4-cylinder with 143hp or 2.4L with 205hp Fill-up: 6.7L/5.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $15,690-$26,655

Safety Tip: B.C.’s Family Day offers many of us the first chance of taking a long weekend away. If you’re taking a road trip with your family, it’s a good idea to plan your rest stops ahead of time to avoid feeling fatigued behind the wheel and to give the kids a chance to burn off their energy.

AMAZING DEALS ON

Before you know it you’re nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car.

Life is wunderbar. The best part about this teenage dream is that it’s not a teenage dream.

It’s a reality.

For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possible thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school. The track’s location is less than a couple of hours outside of Montreal, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s, rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the opportunity to drive all three vehicles in various parts of the facility.

Whether you are learning how to control over and understeer on the oval, or learning how to appropriately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time.

And if you spin out, you just keep going.

The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are introduced to their instructors. Proper seating position is explained and then it’s time to hit the track.

Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together.

That way, the instructor can talk to you and give you pointers while they observe what’s going on.

Sometimes you get praise.

Sometimes you get constructive criticism. It’s just part of the process.

Two major points that were stressed in any of the exercises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time.

The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the manouevre you were trying to do.

Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again.

The Camp4 program originated in Finland in 1996 and has since been executed around the world. It’s hard to believe how much you can learn in such a short amount of time.

And how much your face will hurt afterwards! – That’s not even because of sub zero temperatures. continued on page 26

Second gen Mazda3 was a zoom-zoom hit with Canadians also a high-performance edition called Mazdaspeed3. A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged engine intercooler, gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appearance.

Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body platform, combined with

The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was “the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.”

The car, available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback, is a nicely proportioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take.

The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horsepower 2.0-litre engine that provides a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway).

selling cars in Canada and the Mazdaspeed3 variant typically accounts for less than 2 per cent of sales. That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history.

This generation Mazdaspeed3 is a more refined high-performer. It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbocharged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car.

Changes to its drive shafts were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was added to the drivetrain.

Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds.

Cars and trucks with only one headlight shining drives many readers crazy.

It may not seem like a big deal to drive with a light out in the city...until you hit a fog bank.

And bear in mind that in pitch black conditions in rural areas a car with a light out looks like a motorcycle from a distance.

And that’s deadly. Drivers judge distance by subconsciously noting how the two beams of an oncoming car widen as it gets nearer.

Hawks move close to clinching third place Major Midget team earns a win, tie against Fraser Valley Thunderbirds

by Rick Kupchuk THE VALLEY West Hawks have

doubled their lead over the Vancouver Chiefs in a race for third place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League.

The Hawks took three of four points from the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds last weekend, while the Chiefs lost a pair of games to

the Vancouver Giants. Valley West, at 21-11-2 (won-lost-tied), is now six points clear of the fourth-place Chiefs with six games to play.

It also assures the Hawks of a top-eight finish, and a position in the provincial playoffs which begin in four weeks.

In an 8-3 win Saturday in Abbotsford, Valley West took an early lead and never looked back in a victory

over the Thunderbirds. Paul Savage and Ty Westgard netted goals just 11 seconds apart before the game was 10 minutes old.

Leading 2-1 after one period, the Hawks buried Fraser Valley with four more in the second. Surrey forward Matt Bradley notched two goals, with Jordan Funk of Cloverdale and Davis Koch of White Rock adding singles.

Each team tallied twice in the final 20 minutes. Mitch Newsome of Surrey and White Rock’s Matt Barberis were the Valley West goalscorers.

The Hawks scored first in Sunday’s game, a tally from Koch with five minutes remaining in the first period, but were tied 1-1 and trailing 3-1 at the period breaks.

Barberis got the Hawks to within

one with seven minutes to play, then Newsome tied the contest 17 seconds later to lift Valley West into a 3-3 tie.

The Hawks will host the struggling, Kamloops-based Thompson Blazers next weekend. Saturday’s game is at 3:30 p.m. at the Langley Sportsplex, followed by a game Sunday at 1:15 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

Tessa’s tourney starts tomorrow Hoops teams at Holy Cross

by Rick Kupchuk MANY OF the best senior girls high school basketball

teams in the province will be at Holy Cross high school this weekend, participating in Tessa’s Tournament.

Named in honour of Tessa Beauchamp, a student at the school and a member of the Holy Cross Crusaders hoops team who lost a battle with cancer in 2012.

A dozen senior girls teams will be playing, including seven Senior AAA teams and four Senior AA squads listed in the provincial rankings.

Two of the best Senior AAA teams will give the province’s second-ranked Crusaders a test. Holy Cross will play the No. 8 South Kamloops Titans tomorrow (Friday) at 2:45 p.m., then tip-off with the No. 6 Oak Bay Breakers at 9 a.m. Saturday. The Crusaders will play a second game Saturday with the Sahali Sabres, a team from Kamloops ranked among the top Senior AA teams in the province.

Four junior teams and four Grade 8 teams will also be playing in Tessa’s Tournament, which will feature games all day at both Holy Cross and Surrey Christian high schools. Fleetwood Park Secondary will host five games Saturday.

The second annual Tessa Beauchamp Charity Day will take place two weeks later, on Feb. 21, with students and staff at schools in British Columbia encouraged to wear purple (her favourite color) and raise money for a charity of their choice. The Tessa Beauchamp Foundation will award a prize to the school showing the most support.

by Airigami – an art studio specializing in balloon art.

Although she is comfortable twisting giant carousels, elaborate animals and even wearable jet packs, a structure of this size will be something completely new for Yee. “I’m looking forward to working on all aspects of the build, from the vine to the giant. I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Yee. Following completion of the project, the twisters plan on holding a popping party to celebrate the event.

You can see more of Yee’s work at www. faceaballoonza.com

“I soon realized that I would rather do this (balloon twisting),” said Yee, “than go into an audition room with 60 other people who look like you and are all vying for the same three-line part.”

There is no balloon school, so Yee had to learn on the job, often traveling across Canada and the United States to attend various balloon conventions where hundreds of balloon artists get together to brainstorm ideas and techniques.

This week (Feb. 1-4) Yee was invited to join 74 other artists from around the world in New York City to help construct a five-storey, 50,000-balloon Jack and The Beanstalk

A story of stereotypes

WRITER AND storyteller Ivan Coyote and musician and author Rae Spoon join forces in Surrey this Friday and Saturday for their new show Gender Failure.

Both are transgendered artists who mix storytelling, music, video and animation to show the audience how it feels when you don’t conform to gender stereotypes in a world that sees only male and female roles.

Gender Failure takes place in the Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre Feb. 7 and 8 at 8 p.m.

Due to strong language and intimate moments, the show is not suitable for children under 15.

Tickets are $35 for adults, $30 for seniors and students and $10 for youth ages 15-24, available at tickets.surrey.ca or 604-501-5566.

Work by members of the Kwantlen Art Collective will be on display at the Newton Cultural Centre gallery through the month of February.

The student group, founded last October, is from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and many are fine art majors.

Staffed by two fulltime nurse practitioners, a diabetes nurse and a dietitian, the centre will work with local physicians, health authority services and families to help support people to manage their chronic conditions and improve their overall health.

The centre responds to patient care needs in a culturally tailored

manner that research has shown to be the most effective in improving health outcomes for South Asian patients, the largest ethnic group in the Surrey-North Delta area – about one-third of the local population.

Research demonstrates that people of South Asian origin (those with ancestral links to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

They are also likely to have limited knowledge of their conditions and

COMEAU, Jeanne-Marie March 6, 1945 – January 18, 2014 Jeanne passed away peacefully a t Chilliwack General Hospital after long battles with cancer, COPD and other health issues. Jeanne was born and raised in Saint Louisde-Kent, New Brunswick.

In 1964 she married Fred Samplonius in Toronto, Ontario where they continued to reside until a move in 1972 to Clearbrook, British Columbia.

Columbia so the family could be together again, and in July 2011 a house with an in-law suite was found in Chilliwack.

Jeanne continued her support of the Alano Club by transferring her membership to the local Chilliwack club where she always felt welcomed.

Jeanne is survived by her son Edward, daughter Marguerite (Richard) and grandchildren Genevieve and Lucien, brother Raymond (Alice), sister May (Albert) and best friend Wayne GrifÀths. She was predeceased by her mother Marguerite, father Antoine, and brother Robert. Jeanne will be sadly missed by her favourite niece Gisele along with other cousins, nieces and nephews.

As per her request, cremation will take place at Henderson Funeral Home.

The family wishes to thank the ICU, PATH unit and 4th Floor staff at Chilliwack General Hospital and Fraser Health Home Support Services.

When her daughter was posted back to Comox, British Columbia in 1992, she moved back to Surrey, British Columbia to get away from the cold Manitoba winters.

While her daughter’s military spouse was posted to other parts of Canada and overseas, she remained in Surrey not wanting to return to cold winters in Ontario. Jeanne was an active member of various Alano Clubs for decades and was always ready to volunteer in the canteens and social events as long as she had been physically able.

Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium Ltd.

GODDARD, DEBORAH HETTY (NEE ADCOCK) AUGUST 24, 1953 - JANUARY 29, 2014

Deborah Hetty Goddard (Adcock) of Surrey, BC. passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer at the age of sixty on Tuesday, January 29, 2014 at Laurel Place in Surrey. She was affectionately known to close family as Mom or Grammy. She was the daughter of Thomas and Susan (Kingston) Adcock and was born in Gimli, MB., on August 24, 1953. She attended many schools because, as she put it, she was an “air force brat” meaning that the family moved quite often as her Dad was enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force. She met her husband, Ray in Portage la Prairie, MB. They fell in love and eloped to Edmonton, AB where they had three beautiful daughters. It was here that she became interested in health care and decided to take medical terminology courses. Upon their completion, she began working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. In 1986, they moved to Surrey, BC. She immediately got a unit clerk position at Peace Arch District Hospital and, during the next 27 years, made many lifelong friends. She loved her job and was loved and respected in return and retired from the position in September of 2013. She also took leaves of absence from the hospital to teach the unit clerk course for Kwantlen College and to do the practicum with her students.

Students spoke highly of her and many remain friends still. She loved gardening and small worry stones but her pride and joy were her grandchildren. She loved to spoil them (sometimes by introducing them to things their moms did not want them to know about) and got great pleasure out of all of their shenanigans. Both good and bad. She proudly displayed their artwork like it was done by the masters themselves. Deb was generous to a fault and always saw the good in people. Friends became family and family became friends and family was what you always came home to.

She was a kind and gentle soul and we will all miss her dearly. She is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Ray; her daughters Nadine (husband Jody) of Delta, BC; Alexandra of Sechelt BC; and Kimberly (husband Gerry) of Surrey, BC; her grandchildren Darius and Linkoln (Kimberly’s); and Hayley (Nadine’s); her mother Susan of Innisfail, AB; her brothers Terry Adcock (Marsha) of Calgary, AB; Bruce Adcock (Colleen) of Red Deer, AB; and sister Firth Adcock of Red Deer, AB; along with numerous nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her father Thomas Adcock.

The Celebration of Life is to be held at Victory Memorial Park at 14831 28 Avenue in Surrey, BC on Saturday, the first of March at 2:00 pm. This is a celebration of life and as such, please dress casually or in whatever clothes that you feel comfortable wearing to the event. Be prepared for some AC/DC and other favourites.

Refreshments will be served afterwards. In lieu of flowers, please send donations, in her name, to your favourite charity. Letters of condolences and any special memories that you may have of Debbie can be conveyed via the onsite memorial webpage, please visit www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca
