Katzie eye Surrey land

Teachers, gov’t face off

Crown sale of land gets attention of First Nations

Class action

The province has very little urban Crown land available to offer in treaty negotiations with First Nations to settle unresolved land claims in Metro Vancouver. So Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s budget announcement last week that B.C. will raise money by selling off a 15-acre parcel of surplus land in the middle of Surrey has raised eyebrows among treatynegotiation observers. “It’s an interesting move on their part since Crown land is so scarce,” First Nations Summit spokesman Dan Smith said. “We’ll see whether or not this takes place.” Metro Vancouver has previously raised concern the province may – because it has so little property to negotiate with – raid more farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) or even take from civic or regional parks to settle future treaties. Unlike ALR land turned over for the Tsawwassen Treaty, the vacant parcel in Surrey, near the northwest corner of 152 Street and Highway 10, is zoned for commercial/multifamily residential and surrounded by existing homes and businesses. The Katzie First Nation, based in Pitt Meadows, has signalled its interest in the Surrey property, which had once been considered a possible hospital site. “We have written a letter requesting consultation but there has been no formal consultation,” Katzie chief negotiator Debbie Miller said. “There are very few urban Crown land parcels within any area of Katzie traditional territory.” The Katzie are negotiating an agreement-in-principle and are in talks with the province over what lands would become Katzie treaty land. The traditional territory over which the Katzie claim aboriginal rights and title covers all of Surrey, White Rock, Delta and Pitt Meadows, as well as much of Maple see page 4

Teachers across B.C. were predicted to vote today and tomorrow on whether the current ‘teachonly’ job action will be ramped up to a full-scale walkout. Meanwhile, a rally of Surrey Teachers’ Association members Monday afternoon was one of the highest profile events in a province-wide ‘day of action’ by teachers resisting imposition of a legislated contract – which Education Minister George Abbott has announced will be introduced this week. Speakers at the rally, at the Cloverdale Agriplex, included BC Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair, BC Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert and Surrey Teachers’ Association president Denise Moffat. In a statement released before the rally, Moffat said the B.C. Supreme Court had ruled last April that the government had “acted illegally and unconstitutionally when it imposed legislation that stripped out negotiated language from (the) teachers’ collective agreement” 10 years ago. “Now, Minister Abbott says his government will legislate again,” Moffat said. “When will they learn?” In a statement issued on the weekend, Abbott said the union has the right to canvass its members on whether to escalate strike action. “However, it is clear that this strike is hurting students and any escalation in strike action will only increase the harm to students and the impact on parents,” he said, adding the government’s legislation is aimed at providing all parties with “certainty.” “The NDP opposition’s response to (the) legislation will determine how much certainty is possible in the days ahead.” B.C.’s 41,000 teachers have been without a contract since June 30. see page 2

Teen struck in Cloverdale A teenager is in critical condition after being hit by a car Friday night. The 16-year-old girl from Surrey, was crossing Highway 10 near 180 Street when she was struck by a westbound SUV. She suffered extensive head and body injuries, and was airlifted to hospital, where she remains in critical condition. She was wearing dark clothing, and police

say she was not at a marked crossing. Police do not believe speed or alcohol were factors. The driver was not injured, but was shaken up as a result of the collision. Charges are not anticipated. The victim did not have any identification on her, and it took police time to identify her. Her family has been advised and is with her at the hospital.

Teachers restrict work to bells from page 1 Their job action, begun in September, has included refusing administrative duties – including playground supervision and filling out report cards – and led to cutting back of some extracurricular activities. As of Monday, teachers are now arriving minutes before the first bell and leaving immediately after the last bell each day. The deadlock in contract negotiations has

been blamed on the government’s adherence to a zero-increase policy in negotiations on all public-sector wages and benefits packages. But Abbott has blamed BCTF intransigence for the situation, noting the government has signed contracts with three-quarters of its public unions under the “net zero” policy. While it would consider mediation, Abbott said, it would have to fall within the “netzero” mandate.

news City of White Rock estimates pay-park proposal would cost $625,000

Pay-parking break ‘would raise taxes’ Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

Giving people a break on waterfront parking fees – including free parking after dusk – would cost the City of White Rock $625,000 a year, a city staff report estimates. The cost assessment of the proposal by the local Business Improvement Association (BIA) was presented to council last week. The BIA wanted a new system of seasonal rates that would allow free parking at all hours from Monday to Thursday during the winter, with a dollar-an-hour rate during daytime hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So-called mid-season parking would extend the dollar-an-hour rate to seven days a week from February to April, with rates

vices Sandra Kurylo estimated the impact on the city budget would require a 3.6 per cent increase in property taxes to make up the loss, if no alternate funding could be found. Under questioning by council, Kurylo said staff were unable to identify any source of new money that could cover the shortfall. Kurylo also investigated a suggestion that would extend the current seasonal reduction of waterfront parking rates from $3 an hour to $1 from November until February to include March and April. She found that measure would cost the city $185,300, requiring a 1.07 per cent tax hike to cover the difference. Neither proposal seems to have much support among members of council based on the reaction last week.

“Absolutely not,” said Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson of both plans. She said people coming to a “resort city” will not be deterred by paying to park at night. “This is worth coming to see and pay,” Anderson said. Coun. Larry Robinson said White Rock rates are not out of line with other Lower Mainland destinations. “I don’t really see a problem charging people $3 for a night out,” Robinson said. No decision was made on the proposals. The report has been sent to get feedback from the newly-created Mayor’s Task Force on Parking, that includes representatives from the city, BIA and Waterfront Merchant’s Association.

Passenger stabbed and driver choked

Surrey man arrested after two bus attacks Monique Tamminga Black Press

A 19-year-old Surrey man has been charged in connection with the choking of a bus driver and stabbing of a passenger three days later. Steven Fayant is charged with assault in connection with strangling a bus driver in Surrey on Feb. 18, and with aggravated assault for the stabbing of a 41-yearold Langley man who was getting off the bus in Aldergrove on Feb. 21. Fayant made his first court appearance Friday in Surrey Provincial Court, where a judge remanded him. Fayant is to make another appearance today. Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks said Fayant was arrested shortly after midnight Thursday at his Surrey home. He did not resist arrest. Police from Langley, Surrey and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team took part in the apprehension.

At right, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin cuts the ribbon for the week-long sale Sunday, joined by club president Ian LaGasse, vice-president Peter Short and member Pyaro Panjwani.

The arrest was made possible after a Langley Mountie recognized the man from surveillance footage provided by TransLink. In the Surrey incident, aboard a White Rockbound 321 bus on King George Boulevard near 76 Avenue, the bus driver said he asked a young passenger to move down the bus. The passenger complied, but later returned to the driver and started choking him. The assailant suddenly let go and ran off the bus. The victim of the stabbing did not know his attacker, and it isn’t known what provoked the stabbing near Aldergrove Centre Mall, police said. The victim was stabbed in the back as he was getting off the bus. The victim’s brother gave chase but the assailant got away. The 41-year-old victim was flown to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been released from hospital and is expected to recover.

Newton land sits vacant since 1998

New plan for public-market property after sale Kevin Diakiw Black Press

An “eyesore” at one of Surrey’s busiest corners will soon be developed into commercial and residential development, if council approves submitted plans. A numbered company purchased the old Surrey Public Market for $7.3 million last month, ending more than a decade of desertion for the property, at 64 Avenue and King George Boulevard. In 1998, the market was a bustling spot to purchase fresh produce, knick-knacks and crafts. Then,

amid some leasehold disagreements, the multiple tenants at the property packed up and left, with many leaving an active lease. By September 1998, the market was empty – and it’s remained that way since. Now, the property has a new owner who plans to lease the northern portion of the property to a developer looking to build office, retail or housing. The numbered company that purchased the property is run by a Daisy Da Silva. Surrey’s planning department has

already received an application to change the zoning on the north side of the property to allow for a mixed development. According to the application, that would allow for commercial development on the bottom floor, and 108 apartments built on a single floor above it. The 40,000-square-foot existing building on the south side of the property is up for lease, at $12 per square foot. Todd Bohn, of Front Line Real Estate Services, said he’s looking for a single tenant for the building,

maybe two. “It’s a wide-open, 40,000-squarefoot building,” Bohn said in an interview last week. “We’ve been getting tons of action from different people, whether it’s retailers, assembly groups… because there’s 135 underground parking stalls there.” He expects about $1 million will need to be spent fixing up the existing building and making it rentable. “So we want to make sure we’ve got appropriate tenants in there before we fix it up,” Bohn said.

Asked if the owner is entertaining the idea of a casino, Bohn didn’t know. “I have not had that conversation at all,” Bohn said. “I don’t know what the city’s thoughts would be on that.” Coun. Barinder Rasode is thrilled to see the property in new hands. “We are so excited that eyesore is finally going to be developed,” Rasode said, adding the city will be working closely with the builder. “That is a significant corner in that neighbourhood. It’s been sorely neglected for way too long.”

If sold, Katzie might get first bid from page 1 Ridge, Langley, Port Coquitlam and the Pitt River watershed. Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Kim Baird said bands in treaty talks typically oppose the sale of nearby Crown land to keep their acquisition options open. The fact urban Crown land is so rare means First Nations pursuing treaties may well look at more distant land, she said. A government spokesperson said First Nations would be consulted ahead of any Crown land sales, which won’t begin until 2013 and won’t include land offered in treaty talks.

More than $700 million is to be raised by selling more than 100 surplus properties, but the province won’t disclose where they are. Metro Vancouver aboriginal affairs committee vice-chair Ralph Drew predicts that if the province does proceed, the Katzie might have an option to buy the Crown land in Surrey at market value ahead of anyone else. “It’s a prime economic development opportunity, I would think, given its location,” said Drew, the mayor of Belcarra. If the Katzie bought it, Drew said, the band could – even with-

out a treaty – convert it into an Indian Reserve with tax-free status and exploit new federal rules that provide much more scope for commercial and industrial development of reserves. Surrey would have no control over what is built there because it would no longer be part of the city and the Official Community Plan would not apply. Nor would the city receive property tax on the development. The band would levy taxes on building tenants, but how much it remits to the city would depend on what kind of servicing agreement is negotiated, if any.

Think pink to stop bullying

t can happen in a school hallway or in a Facebook post. And signs that your child is being bullied aren’t always easily perceptible. Most children don’t want to talk about it. That leaves it up to parents to decode subtle changes in their child’s behaviour. If kids are left suffering alone, the consequences can be tragic. But it’s getting easier to talk about bullying. In 2009, then-premier Gordon Campbell declared Feb. 25 Anti-Bullying Day in B.C., with the intention of raising awareness about bullying and providing easy-to-access resources for parents and kids. Anti-Bullying Day was built on a grassroots movement that started in 2007 in Nova Scotia, when a pair of Grade 12 students came to the defence of a ninth grader who’d been bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt. The older students organized a rally and handed out pink T-shirts. The bullies quickly decamped. In B.C., radio station CKNW has kept the anti-bullying crusade alive by supporting an annual Pink Shirt Day that encourages schools, businesses and other organizations to take a stand against bullies. In schools throughout the Lower Mainland – from South Surrey to the North Shore – there also continues to be a pink tsunami of support. At Elgin Park Secondary, for instance, students in the Kids Help Phone Club are hosting an event they hope will raise funds for the hotline while raising awareness amongst their peers that there is somewhere to turn if they need someone to talk to but want to remain anonymous. Wednesday – this year’s Anti-Bullying Day – the students also plan to join students everywhere in wearing pink and supporting the movement. At other schools, events ranging from schoolwide assemblies to making shirt-shaped posters with anti-bullying messages are planned. In recent years, there’s been a lot done to take the power away from bullies. In B.C. schools, there’s now zero tolerance for student intimidation that stems from code-of-conduct legislation enacted in 2007. And, online resources are widely available to help parents to deal with bullying behaviour. But it’s not time to get complacent. Bullying still happens in schools. And for some kids, that means daily torment. Pink Shirt Day is a reminder to talk with our kids to make sure that no child feels intimidated when they leave their home. It’s also a reminder to rally around those who are the victims of bullying. Show your support on Feb. 29 by donning your favourite shade of pink.

The proposed sale of 100 surplus Crown properties has raised cries of “selling the silverware to buy groceries.” But land sales are nothing new for governments, and Falcon prefers that to raising taxes. • Carbon tax. The last scheduled increase goes ahead in July, adding another penny on a litre of gasoline, followed by a freeze and review of the whole climate program. Ralston says the climate plan is “in tatters,” along with dozens of other policy areas that are also under review after 11 years of BC Liberal rule. NDP leader Adrian Dix vows to keep the carbon tax and its offsetting personal income tax cuts, direct carbon tax revenues to transit and rural energysaving retrofits, and hike the general corporate tax rate from 10 to 12 per cent to pay for it. • HST. Asked what he would have done as finance minister, Ralston suggested getting rid of the HST sooner. Dix continues to misrepresent the HST as solely a transfer to big business, ignoring the small and medium-sized businesses that have a year left to take advantage of input tax credits. Simon Fraser University economist Jon Kesselman has estimated that poor people will be worse off when the HST ends, while the rest of us will see a very small net benefit.

By the people, for the people Editor: I’m confused. I thought this was the year 2012, not 1984. I think Public Safety Minister Vic Toews read George Orwell’s novel, 1984, for inspiration of his latest Bill C30, but he took the wrong message. Vic, for your benefit, “Big Brother” is not a positive thing government should be doing. Government access to a citizen’s email, phone number and other electronic information is not supposed to be allowed without a warrant. People are entitled to their privacy. Your comment that people “can either stand with us or with the child pornographers” is appalling. This “you’re either with us or against us” commentary is nothing but an attempt to stifle legitimate concerns and debate with this bill. I’d like to borrow a phrase from former president Abraham Lincoln: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Maybe you should think about this phrase next time before you put your other foot in your mouth. Phil Harrison, Surrey

be no longer than four feet. The city shall install “doggie-doo” baggie dispensers at appropriate distances along the boardwalk – I suggest on every second or third lamppost – to make it easy for people to comply. Dog owners are allowed to walk with their companions on the West Vancouver waterfront and along the length of the seawall in Vancouver. It is unacceptable that they are not here. To say we have closed the boardwalk to dog owners because an occasional owner is irresponsible is akin to saying we are closing Marine Drive to car traffic because an occasional person speeds. Dog owners/taxpayers in White Rock deserve and demand better than they have received. The knee-jerk reaction that caused this repressive bylaw in the first place can be corrected acceptably to most with my compromise solution. Michael Klaver, White Rock

Unsustainable without change Editor: Re: OAS perfectly sustainable, Feb. 21 letters. Liberal finance critic Scott Brison is right that our Conservative government was given a strong mandate to help seniors improve their quality of life, but he’s wrong to suggest Old Age Security is sustainable on its present course. The fact is, in the 1970s there were seven workers paying taxes to fund OAS for each retiree. Currently, just four workers fund each retiree, and within 20 years there will be just two workers per retiree. On its current path, Old Age Security is unsustainable. Our government will make the changes necessary to ensure the sustainability of OAS for the next

generation, while maintaining benefits for current recipients and those close to retirement. Brison’s former Liberal government slashed transfers for health care, dramatically impacting many seniors. Ours is a government that understands the importance of a secure retirement for people who have spent their lives building Canada through their hard work. That’s why, since 2006, we have taken action to ensure retirement income is there when Canadians need it, including introducing pension income splitting; increasing the age credit; and eliminating the need for 380,000 lower-income seniors to pay federal income tax. And, every year, we’ve increased funding for health care substantially. While we have taken these actions for today’s seniors, we need to ensure future generations can count on benefits when they need them most. MP Russ Hiebert, South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale

‘One bad apple’ a red herring Editor: I am strongly opposed to the current 100 per cent restriction on dog owners walking on our boardwalk with their companions. As a taxpayer who pays far more property tax than if I lived anywhere else, I demand better access to the amenities I have paid for. Other than the basics – police/ fire, sewer, general city governance – there is no other city service I partake in other than our waterfront. With the bylaw as is, I’m definitely not getting my money’s worth from my hard-earned tax dollars. I am a responsible dog owner and always take a bag with me. The vast majority of dog owners do so as well. I walk my dog along Marine Drive between Habgood and Finlay twice a day, and I would venture to say at least 30 others do so as well. It is a rare occurrence that I witness dog waste left behind – less than once a month. Countless owners walk their dogs by my house every day, and I would say not more than three or four times in the past year have I found dog waste in my yard. Now, if I walk along the boardwalk on a busy weekend, I can see garbage all over the place. The “one bad apple” excuse for this overly restrictive bylaw is a red herring. I am willing to do what those against dog owners are not – compromise. I do not suggest we throw open the whole boardwalk. What I propose is this: The boardwalk east of the pier shall be open to dogs on leashes; the boardwalk west of the pier shall remain closed to dogs. Leashes shall

Andrew Bishop and a friend created an entertaining and educational video to encourage less water-bottle waste.

Simple solutions to bottle battle Editor: I am a Grade 6 student at Chantrell Creek Elementary. My class is studying the terrible effects of disposable water bottles on our environment. I was shocked by how much damage they do. My friend and I made a video about what it means to our community. You can view our video by searching “Unbottle My Water” on YouTube.com or by clicking the link in my letter at www.peacearchnews.com/opinion/letters/ I have also thought about a way government can reduce waste from bottled water in our schools and public buildings – and it isn’t to remove vending machines. I have noticed that most public buildings have water fountains, and I know that all my friends have lots of sports water bottles. So, I wondered, why do we see so many plastic water bottles thrown away? Well, have you ever tried to fill a water bottle from a water fountain, the kind with that mushroom shaped bubbler? You can’t. If you try filling your bottle at the sink in the bathroom, it’s hard and also kind of gross. That’s why thirsty people and kids buy bottled water from vending machines. Did you know that in B.C. we throw away 130 million plastic water bottles every year? Here are some more facts I learned about bottled water:

• 900 million water bottles are used in Canada each year; • just one in five water bottles is recycled in B.C.; and • it take 700 years for a water bottle to decompose. I have thought of a solution that is simple and will cost our governments and schools nothing. As each contract for vending machines comes up, the new contract should require the winner to replace the old “bubbler” fountains with tall water-bottle taps in all the buildings where they have vending machines. Also, require them to put their vending machines close to water fountains, if they aren’t already, so everyone will be encouraged to refill their own bottles. The companies still get to keep their machines in schools and facilities – they could even say they are part of the solution – and the best part would be that our schools and facilities would still get the vending-machine income while promoting the use of refillable bottles. Making my video made me realize we can reduce the problem and it could be as simple as changing a few taps. I have sent this letter and copies of my video to my mayor, MLA and MP because my friends and I think something should be done. This is a simple, inexpensive way for us to reduce plastic-bottle waste and set an example for others. Andrew Bishop, Surrey

Burnaby RCMP seek potential victims

Sex charges for man Wanda Chow Black Press

Police are seeking potential victims and witnesses after charging a 43-year-old Surrey man with four sexual assaults dating back to 1994. Burnaby RCMP began its investigation after learning of a possible assault and robbery on Dec. 4 against a woman, a sex-trade worker, who had been taken to Burnaby from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Officers immediately notified Vancouver Police Department, which warned other sex-trade workers. A second assault in Burnaby on Dec. 18 was believed to be linked to the first, RCMP Chief Supt. David Critchley told a news conference Monday Thanks to a “tenacious” VPD sexcrimes analyst and dozens of police investigators, police in both cities began combing through past unsolved cases dating back to the 1990s. As a result, Shalendra Kumar Sharma has been charged with four counts of sexually assaulting four women, two in December 2011 and the others in 1994 and 1997. He is also charged with four counts of confining the women and one count of kidnapping. In addition, Sharma is charged with two counts

of assault and one count of uttering threats in connection with the two December incidents. He was arrested Feb. 17 and is currently remanded and due back in court March 2. In all four cases, sex-trade workers were allegedly taken from the Downtown Eastside to South Burnaby where they were sexually assaulted. Police believe there may be more victims or witnesses. “Given that Mr. Sharma is currently in custody, and poses no current threat to the public, police will not be releasing his photo at this time as investigators need to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation,” Critchley said. “That decision will be continually assessed.” In an effort to attract potential victims and witnesses, police released a list of vehicles which Sharma owned or had access to between 1994 and the present: a 2007 red Ford Escape, from October 2006 to the present; a 2003 blue Ford Explorer, from January 2004 to February 2010; a 1997 red Ford Explorer, from March 1999 to October 2006; and a 1991 red Pontiac Sunbird, from January 1994 to May 1997. Sharma, who works as a labourer in a manufacturing plant, was not previously known to police, Critchley said.

And even though no one showed up for his first church meeting, word of mouth soon spread to the point where as many as 60 villagers showed up every night. After returning to Bangkok to teach, he soon found himself being called back to Cambodia, where he eventually returned, and over a five-year span, had a hand in setting up more than 20 churches, an English school and a music school. But after five years “working 24/7” he returned home for a break.

An Invitation To A Public Open House You are invited to a public Open House to provide input on the second phase of a feasibility study for the development of a Sports, Arts, Culture and Harmony Centre in Newton. The centre would provide facility space available to the entire community including multi-purpose rooms, culture and heritage interpretation display areas, gymnasiums, ďŹ tness rooms, a restaurant and day care. Staff and consultants will be on hand to receive community feedback. The ďŹ rst phase of the feasibility study researched a proposal to develop a community centre on lands at Princess Margaret Park. A public Open House was held in November 2011 to present this proposal to the community. Since that Open House, Council has directed staff to investigate other possible sites for the centre. Staff and consultants have researched two other possible sites at Unwin Park and on City owned lands in Newton Town Centre. Plans and information for the feasibility of the three locations will be on display at the Open House. Date and Location 6:00 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:00pm Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 Cedar Building -- Conference Room Kwantlen Polytechnic University 12666 72nd Avenue Newton, Surrey The City of Surrey invites you to visit the Open House to provide feedback to identify community needs and issues on the development of the centre.

Council.

Singers wanted The 6 O’Clock Jazz Group is looking for another bass and tenor and, possibly, another soprano. The eight-member, four-part light jazz vocal group, is directed by David Proznick. Practices are held Monday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Singers must be able to read music and have a good sense of rhythm.

Players Club Tickets area available now for the balance of the current White Rock Players Club season at Coast Capital Playhouse (1532 Johnston Rd.) From April 11 to 28 the club will present its Theatre B.C. entry, the medieval drama of royal intrigue The Lion In Winter, by James Goldman. The 1966 play imagines a Christmas in the year 1183 at Henry II of England’s French chateau at Chinon in the Anjou region, and the verbal and psychological battles between the king, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine (imprisoned by him for supporting a rebellion against his rule) and their sons Richard, Geoffrey and John. Also at court: Philip II of France and his half sister Alais – who is, in Goldman’s version, at least, Henry’s mistress. From April 29 to May 5, the club will host the Theatre B.C. zone festival, in which its entry will be judged alongside other notable productions from community theatre groups in the Vancouver zone. From June 13 to 30 the scheduled show will be Ken Ludwig’s farce Lend Me A Tenor. Set in Cleveland in 1934, the show depicts the mayhem when famed tenor Tito Merelli, known as ‘Il Stupendo,’ receives an accidental double-dose of tranquilizers, and Saunders, the opera company manager has to find a substitute. Adding to the fun: an autograph seeker mistaken for Merelli’s mistress, Merelli’s enraged wife, and Saunders’ ambitious assistant Max. For tickets and show time information, visit www.whiterockplayers.ca or call 604536-7535.

White Rock Christian senior boys team in midst of Fraser Valley championships

Dykstra resigns WRCA coaching post Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

File photo

John Dykstra is out as WRCA hoops coach.

The White Rock Christian Academy Warriors are going to have to play the rest of the senior boys basketball playoffs without their head coach. John Dykstra, who’s coached and taught at WRCA since replacing Scott Allen in 2009, resigned his coaching post Tuesday night, one day before White Rock’s senior boys squad’s first game of the Fraser Valley Championships against Kwantlen Park.

WRCA won the game 82-43. WRCA principal Stephen Hardy confirmed Thursday Dykstra’s resignation, but declined to provide further details. Dykstra was unavailable for comment. Dykstra will continue to teach at WRCA, and Hardy didn’t rule out his return to coaching at some point. “We’re just taking it day by day right now,” Hardy said. WRCA assistant coach Dale Shury will take over head coaching duties for the remainder

of the season. Some WRCA players also took to social media platforms last week to comment on the coaching change, with one player posting on Twitter Tuesday: “Everything that’s going on right now and the way people are handling the departure of our head coach at WRCA #makesmesmh (makes me shake my head).” A day later, the same player wrote: “Let’s get past all the drama and focus on the task see page 26

Surrey scores threepoint cushion for lead

Eagles boost lead Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Surrey Eagles punched their ticket to the BC Hockey League playoffs on the weekend, after wins over the Nanaimo Clippers and Alberni Valley Bulldogs officially clinched their post-season berth, while also extending their tenuous hold on first place in the Coastal Conference. On Friday at South Surrey Arena, the Eagles’ offence led the home team to a 6-3 win over the visiting Clippers, and Saturday edged the visiting Bulldogs 4-3, giving Surrey 77 points – three up on the Powell River Kings, who’d only trailed by a single point before weekend action. The only negative for the Eagles last week came Wednesday, when the team’s 16-game point streak – earning either a win, tie or overtime-loss – was snapped in a 4-1 loss to the lowly Langley Rivermen, who despite sitting in last place in the Coastal Conference, have given Surrey trouble at times this month; on Feb. 11 they took the Eagles to overtime, before falling 3-2. Against Alberni Valley Saturday, the Eagles were led by Brayden

Jaw, who opened the scoring 11:46 into the first period and added his second goal of the contest midway through the second. The two-goal outburst for the Harvard-bound Jaw gives him seven goals this season. In addition to Jaw, Trevor Cameron and Sean McGovern also scored in the second period for Surrey, and Michael Stenerson and Brandon Tanev added two assists apiece. McGovern – who has been the hottest Eagle over the last month

– also had a goal and two assists to lead the team Saturday over Nanaimo. The 18-year-old Ontario native, in his rookie season in the BCHL, has 15 points in his last 11 games – a streak that began in mid-February. McGovern wasn’t the only Eagle to register a multi-point game Saturday against Nanaimo. Alex Hagen, Brandon Morley and Robert Lindores each had a goal and an assist, while Cameron added two helpers. Demico Hannoun added his 11th goal of the year on a third-

Lindores scored the Eagles’ lone goal in the game, a power-play marker 8:22 into the first period, while Langley was paced by 20-year-old Darnell Dyck – a former Eagle – who scored twice.

On Wednesday, they play a second mid-week game in Cowichan, against the Capitals, who sit just four points back of Surrey for top spot in the Coastal Conference.

Pride of the Lions

B.C. Lions receiver Geroy Simon, a Surrey resident, speaks to a group of students at Earl Marriott Secondary Feb. 16. Simon and teammates J.R. Larose and Jon Hameister-Ries stopped by the school to chat about leadership, battling adversity and the importance of education, while also leading students through a variety of activities, including relay races and a tug-of-war.

Warriors in middle of Fraser Valleys from page 25 at hand.” In 2009 under Dykstra, WRCA finished in the top four at provincials, and the following year, the team lost in the championship game to Abbotsford’s Yale Lions. Last year, White Rock failed to qualify for the B.C. championships for the first time in more than 10 years. Currently, the Warriors are in the midst of Fraser Valley Championships, where they are among the favourites in a 32-team field.

With Wednesday’s first-round win over Kwantlen Park, WRCA, seeded fourth, moved on to play the Maple Ridge Ramblers Friday night at White Rock Christian. Fourteenth-seed Elgin Park lost its opening game Wednesday night, falling 72-60 to No. 19 Abbotsford Collegiate, and Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers fell in Round 1, 64-50, to Maple Ridge. Sullivan Heights, seeded 31st, lost its first game to No. 2-ranked Walnut Grove.

“Full credit to Grove, they beat us on the boards and ran hard every possession,” Sullivan Heights coach Mark De La Cruz wrote on Twitter after the game. “We gave them a battle. Couldn’t ask for more.” The tournament continues this week at a number of Fraser Valley schools, before wrapping up with final rounds March 2-3 at the Langley Events Centre. The top seven Fraser Valley teams advance to provincials in mid-March.

sports New program aims to get youth back on the course

Junior golf tees off at Meridian what’s

your sign

Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

In an effort to spur interest in the game of golf among youth, Surrey golf pro Matt Palsenbarg is heading up a new junior program based partly out of Meridian Par 3 Golf Course. Beginning this spring, Palsenbarg, the director of instruction at Northview Golf and Country Club, will run a program for young golfers that will include instruction Matt Palsenbarg at Northview golf pro and rounds at Meridian. “I love to take my (students) to Meridian,” said Palsenbarg, a Clayton Heights resident. “And (Meridian) hasn’t had a junior membership in a few years, so this seemed like a good fit. “I really hope it takes off. I think it’s a program that South Surrey needs.” Junior golf in Canada is struggling, Palsenbarg said, because while there are countless programs for elite young golfers, there is little room for the beginner.

Feb. 28 2012 - Mar. 2 2012

Golf pro Matt Palsenbarg (far right) speaks with young golfers at Northview Golf Course. “Junior golf is dying scary fast – it’s almost extinct,” he said, citing a lack of programs as a major reason. “Elite golf is thriving, but it’s deflating if you’re 15 years old and want to learn, and all you can find are programs where some 12-yearold kid is shooting 72 already. “What about kids who just want to learn the game and be good enough to play for fun? In 10 years, who is going to be golfing? It’s going to be them.” The program will also be

reasonably priced and different tiers of membership will be offered, Palsenbarg said. For example, a Meridian membership plus 10 coaching lessons is $600, he said. Palsenbarg has helped set up a similar program at Delta Golf Course already. He also has a website, www. juniorggolfvancouver.com, which provides details on local courses, programs and how to get started in the game. “We’re just trying to make it

easier for parents to get their kids into golf,” he said. “If you’re a parent, and you have a young kid who wants to play, a golf course can be intimidating – you don’t know where to go, who to talk to, how it works. “Hopefully, this just gives them a lot of information and makes it accessible.” For more on the new Meridian program, junior golf or to contact Palsenbarg, visit www. mattgolf.com.

Resort-style living located in White Rock

Relax and enjoy life at The Peninsula T here is no doubt that White Rock is a great place to live. The area has an abundance of choices for retirement almost as diverse as the people heading into their golden years. For six years, the team at The Peninsula Resort Retirement Living has provided residents with exceptional care and a plethora of activities. The Peninsula combines the natural beauty of the area with all the advantages and conveniences of a modern and spacious retirement living building. Residents have a choice of either living in independent or assisted living suites, ranging from studio apartments to two bedrooms suites. All the suites come with kitchenettes, in-ﬂoor heating and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The personal assistance offered by the staff ensures residents have everything they need to feel at home and comfortable, while maintaining their independence. “Sometimes it’s just a little help that is required to assist individuals to retain an independent lifestyle,” marketing manager Terez Payette said. “For example, our shuttle bus service allows those who no longer want to drive to still get around to appointments and favorite places

around town. Or maybe just a simple medication reminder. “Why stress yourself? Instead you can worry about having too much fun.” The retirement resort is often compared to a cruise ship on land, with breathtaking architecture and stunning interior design. The use of wood, tile and rich fabrics give The Peninsula a bright, exciting tropical resort feel, leaving residents and visitors alike with a feeling of warmth. But it’s not just the beauty of the building or the fine furnishing that residents hold close to their hearts. The loving and caring staff, fresh, five-star quality food and enriching and engaging activities are what really make up the Peninsula, according to Art, a long-time resident. “I’ve been here four and a half years and I came after visiting five other places, and this was by far the best,” he said. “I came because of the food and the staff. The chef really listens to you and wants to know your likes and dislikes; it’s a good feeling to be heard.” On any given day, upbeat music and laughter can be heard from the floors of the Peninsula Sounds of revelry often spill into

whether it’s participating in a energy-filled Zumba class, or using the state-of-the-art power plate vibrating machine, there is something available for anyone, regardless of fitness level. The Peninsula’s indoor resistance pool is another aspect of the resort lifestyle that benefits its residents, said Terez. “It’s great for getting in shape.

You can either particpate in an aquaﬁt class, or there are therapy exercises for those who have had knee or hip replacements,” she said. “Residents are encouraged to provide input on the classes to ensure they’re being offered what they want and need,” she adds. see page 34

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

1946 - 2012 Robert “Bob” Hendrix, age 65. The long-time Seattleite died unexpectedly on February 19, 2012 while vacationing in Hawaii. He died as he lived, enjoying life to the fullest. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia on March 17, 1946, Bob spent his early years in Vancouver B.C., Spokane, WA and ultimately Seattle WA and White Rock, B.C. Bob served in the U. S. Army and upon discharge began his long career in retail working for the Pay-N-Save Corporation, where he worked his way from sweeping floors to becoming a store manager. In 1984 Bob joined the newly created Costco Wholesale Corporation, and spent the remainder of his retail career with the company, eventually serving as Vice President, General Merchandise Manager of Foods & Sundries for the NW Region. Throughout his time at Pay-NSave and Costco, Bob touched many lives as his passion for the business and his love for the people became his signature, as he made and retained many lifelong friends. In 1995, Bob left Costco to help his family form Seattle-based Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix, the companies entrusted to manage his first cousin, Jimi’s, musical legacy. Until the time of his death Bob was actively involved with day-to-day business operations serving as the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Bob can best be described as the most easy-going, driven person you could meet. Those who knew him from work will recall his jovial nature, optimism, kindness, compassion, generosity, determination and straight-forward style of communication. He was no different outside of the office. He enjoyed living every moment and invited those around him to share in his joy. It was hard not to have fun when Bob was around.Family meant everything to Bob, and he treasured the time spent with them. Bob was preceded in death by his father Frank Dewolf Hendrix and mother Eudora Pearl Brown. He is survived by his loving wife Sharon (and her daughter Ashley); previous wife Sandra (her daughters Pamela and Delisa), and Bob’s first wife Shirley, mother of his two sons Robert II (wife Cherie) grandchildren: Brittany, Robert III; and Chris (wife Therese) grandchildren: Xavier, Michael, Marie, Basil, Angela and Katherine. His love for his grandbabies seemingly had no bounds, and was a source of joy over the years. He also leaves behind his sister Diane Faith Hendrix, his brother Henri Brown, and their children, numerous cousins, friends, and colleagues. There will be a rosary on Wednesday, February 29 at 7:00 pm at Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle. His family wishes that he be granted eternal rest. Then in keeping with the man, there will be a celebration of his life for family and friends at one of his favorite spots, The Columbia Tower Club in Seattle on Saturday, March 3 between 3 and 6pm.

Seven-passenger Chevrolet Orlando a versatile, practical people mover Story and photos by Lorne Drury Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine

WINDERMERE, Ont.: Orlando may be a strange name for a vehicle that won’t even be sold in the United States. But what a pity that our friends to the south don’t get to experience Chevrolet’s new seven-passenger people-mover that arrives in Canada this fall. Built in Korea, the Orlando is an important vehicle for General Motors Canada because it gets them back into the minivan market they exited so abruptly a couple of years back when the Uplander model was cancelled. Already on sale in Europe and soon to be sold in several markets around the world (except the U.S), the Orlando is not actually classified as a minivan, but a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), a segment that GM Canada says is undeveloped in North America. While the Americans were initially in on the Orlando program, they eventually dropped out leaving GM Canada to go it alone. With gas prices spiking this summer, one wonders if GM execs in the U.S. are now doing a bit of head scratching, wondering if they made the right decision. Perhaps the minivan design has lost a bit of its cachet, but when you get right down to it, the Orlando can be viewed as one of the new versions of the minivan like the Mazda5, Kia Rondo and Scion Xb. For some reason, GM doesn’t mention the hot-selling Dodge Journey as a competitor, but it certainly would draw the interest of anyone in this market. General Motors looks at young families as the primary target buyers for the Orlando and it’s easy to see why. Families can benefit from the versatility that this vehicle offers. Combine that with the generous amount of space inside a relatively small package as well as the practicality and fuelefficiency of the Orlando and you have a new-style vehicle that GM hopes will be a winner in the Canadian market. The Orlando is based on the same platform as the compact Cruze sedan, and unlike the Canadian-built Chevrolet Equinox mid size crossover SUV, it comes in only front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is not available and there is only one engine choice, the same engine as in the Equinox. A 174 hp direct-injected 2.4-litre Ecotec inline four-cylinder engine powers the Orlando and it is combined with either a sixspeed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. GM says the Orlando has the best fuel economy of any sevenpassenger non-hybrid vehicle on the market. With a manual transmission, Natural Resources Canada fuel numbers are 10.1L/100 km (28 mpg) city and 6.7L/100 km (42 mpg) highway. With the automatic transmission, fuel economy ratings are 10.6L/100 km (27 mpg) and 6.9L/100 km (41 mpg) highway. On the outside, the Orlando doesn’t set any styling trends, but after all, it is difficult to do much when you want to toss in three rows of seats and get the maximum amount of space on a compact platform.

The front end has a muscular look to it with its “wheels out, body in” stance and it has a fairly low roofline with, what GM calls a “crossover–styled silhouette.” Inside is where the Orlando shines with three row, theatrestyled tiered seating and floor heating ducts to both the second and third rows. In all, there are 16 different seating combinations. The 60/40 split second-row seats tumble down easily into the floor for access to the third row with the touch of a latch on the top of the seats. The third-row seats are split 50/50 and fold flat into the floor as the headrest automatically tucks itself in when the seat is folded down. Although this is one of the most spacious third rows in the segment, it is really meant for children or very short trips with adults aboard in the aft section. I managed to get my six-foot frame in one of the back seats, but I wouldn’t want to spend much time there. Nevertheless, if you have the occasional need to transport extra passengers to school or the soccer pitch, the third row will come in awfully handy. If you need to keep your eye on them, there is a rear child view mirror and rear child security door locks. But most times, the third row will be folded down because there is little luggage space behind it with the seats upright. With the seats folded, the load floor is low and flat, making it easy to throw in grocery bags and the like. There is 1,594 litres of cargo space behind the front seats with the second and third rows folded down. The interior is plain, but not uninviting with the use of some bright accent trim to spark things up a bit. It took me a while to get a comfy position in the driver’s seat, but once settled in, I found the ride and seating to be more than adequate, while the steering was light enough for easy maneuvering in tight parking spaces. During our test drive from Toronto to cottage country north into Haliburton and Muskoka and back, the Orlando proved to be very quiet for the most part. On hard acceleration, the noise level ramps up, but otherwise the cabin is a quiet place to be thanks to underbody torsional stiffness and extensive use of sound baffles in the A, C and D pillars. I’m sure a bit more horsepower would be welcome with a full load of passengers on board (there were only two of us inside during our media drive) but in the interests of fuel economy I can see why the General stuck to its tried and true 2.4-litre engine, one of Ward’s 2010 award winners. On the safety front, families want to feel secure in their vehicles and the Orlando doesn’t disappoint. Standard features include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, panic brake assist and cornering brake control. Also included are stability control, traction control, six airbags and standard OnStar. For added peace of mind, the Orlando gets the Euro NCAP 5 Star safety rating as one of the top-scoring vehicles in Europe in 2011. Families will love the convenience features in the cabin including

The 2012 Chevrolet Orlando is based on the same platform as the Cruze sedan, but boasts seating for seven and the versatility of a minivan. Called a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the sevenpassenger 2012 Chevrolet Orlando provides interior ﬂexibility and generous load space for a compact vehicle. It features three row, tiered theatre-style seating..

two large cup holders built into the centre console, map and bottle holders in the front and rear doors, and individual compartments in the cargo area. A useful hidden storage compartment is also located behind the front fascia plate of the audio system. This area also holds the standard auxiliary jack or optional USB port for connecting your iPod or MP3 player. Prices range from $19,995 for the base LS model to $29,735 for the top-line LTZ model. The LS comes standard with the six-speed manual. The automatic adds $1,450 to the price tag. However, 85 per cent of sales are expected from the mid-level 1LT and 2LT models, priced at $22,955 and $24,895. Pricing will be key in this growing segment as many customers shop largely on vehicle cost and economy of operation. The Orlando would appear to be well placed in these categories and with the functionality and versatility it offers, GM Canada should be very pleased they decided to plunge in the MPV pool, even though their U.S. counterparts took a pass.
