Group looking to sponsor refugee family

New shelter is on its wayBy Kevin DiakiwA new homeless shel-

ter is on the way for Cloverdale.

Th e Surrey Home-lessness and Housing Society has kicked off a fund raising drive for the Bill Reid Memorial Shelter, which will in-clude 16 shelter beds and 12 transition beds when complete.

Th e shelter has been planned for some time, but fundraising and the offi cial name for the shelter were just un-veiled this week.

Th e SHHS plans to raise $300,000 and will name the facility aft er the late Bill Reid.

Th ose funds are going toward a $4 million fa-cility, paid for largely by B.C. Housing.

“Th is $300,000 is re-ally showing the com-munity’s commitment to the project,” said Surrey Coun. Vera Le-Franc. She estimates the project is a year out before beginning the build.

“I would think 2017, probably spring.”

Th ere’s little ques-tion among people be-hind the project, that it should be named aft er “Mr. Cloverdale.”

He was an immense supporter of the proj-ect and the homeless in general.

Reid initially sup-ported the creation of the existing 10-bed shelter south of High-way 10, near 176 Street. It is now unable to meet demand and the SHHS is planning to create the

ugee family, thanks to a group that’s spear-heading Pacifi c Community Church’s eff orts to resettle one family as refugee sponsors.

Teunis Schouten is part of a core group of members who are committed to helping the newcomers adjust to their new surroundings in Canada – from helping them fi nd some-where to live to pointing them towards local

immigrant services and assisting with job searches.

It’s a commitment the group is determined to make.

“Th ere are so many people on the run from their governments, or where they’re being tortured or persecuted or fearing for their lives,” Schouten said. “Why wouldn’t we open up our doors and try to make a diff er-ence for at least one family?”

new space adjacent to the current building.

Unique features include the ability to bring animals to the facility.

Many homeless refuse to come in out of the cold because they can’t bring their dog with them.

Pets are hugely important to many homeless who struggle with social isolation. In some instances, their dog is their best friend.

Th e new home being built includes pet-friendly space, which will allow Options, which will operate the shelter, to help more individuals, and in a compassionate manner.

Th e shelter will also operate as a farm.

Th e idea is to pro-vide a positive work experience to break the cycle they’ve fallen into and enjoy the feeling of contributing.

Th e shelter will pro-vide volunteer opportu-nities using a farming concept geared towards helping residents rees-

tablish their life, work and social skills.

It’s hoped the garden-ing will provide benefi ts to those dealing with trauma, mental health issues or physical barriers.

Options plans to establish links with

Kwantlen Polytechic University, and with local nurseries and greenhouses.

In the future, the farm may even generate revenue from garden-ing that can help off set operating costs and a portion of the food will

be given to local food banks.

Alleged mail thief nabbedAn alleged prolifi c mail thief has been

arrested and charged, prompting a warning from police about Christmas mailing.

Last week, Mounties began an investi-gation of a known property crime off end-er who was recently released on mail theft charges. On Nov. 23, RCMP arrested the suspect at a home in the 20100 block of Fra-ser Highway in Langley, aft er he allegedly committed numerous mail theft s there.

A subsequent search revealed several pieces of stolen mail and break and enter tools.

Tyler Barta, a 30 year old from Langley, has now been charged with mail theft , pos-sessing a break-in instrument, and breach of recognizance.

He is believed to be associated to another prolifi c off ender that Surrey RCMP recently arrested and charged for theft of mail and stolen property last month.

“Both of these individuals were priority targets for our Property Crime Target Team and should have a positive impact on our property crime,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Th eir arrests should also serve as a reminder to residents to take the necessary precautions, especially during the holiday season, and check your mail fre-quently.”

If you plan on being away over the hol-idays consider putting your mail on hold. Never send cash in the mail, only money orders, and deposit any mail containing sensitive or fi nancial information at your local post offi ce. Report any suspicious ac-

tivity to police and if you see an overturned or vandalized mailbox contact Canada Post at 1-800-267-1177.

Anyone with information is asked to con-tact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.

Another day, another warning about some ne-farious plot to separate

unsuspecting people from their hard-earned money and/or steal their identities.

Th is morning’s caveat comes from a television news magazine reporter, hyping an upcoming piece about cyber security.

Buy two computers, she ad-vises. Do only your online bank-ing on one and everything else on the other.

Well, sure. Th at seems practi-cal.

Scams are hardly new or un-common. Anyone with an email account has likely received a desperate plea for help from a Nigerian prince. And far too many elderly people have been taken in by some jerk pretend-ing to be a grandchild who’s found himself in a heap of trou-ble that can only be remedied with an immediate cash transfer.

As we cotton on to each new scheme, the cheaters become ever more craft y and under-handed.

Of course, we all need to be aware and take reasonable pre-cautions to protect ourselves — both online and in the real world.

But spend enough time lis-tening to these admonitions and you begin to forget that the vast majority of people out there are actually honest and decent folk.

Fortunately for me, that still seems to be the case, at least.

It’s a point that was driven home last week, with a late aft er-noon knock on my condo door.

Th ere in the hallway stood a couple who informed me they live on the building’s third fl oor.

In the man’s hand, were my driver’s licence and debit card.

Yes, that was my name and my face — clear evidence the cards weren’t securely zippered into my coat pocket as I would have assumed, had I bothered to give it a moment’s thought.

A woman — a photographer — they told me, had found them in Campbell Valley Park, where I’d been walking a few hours ear-lier.

Unable to reach me via the building’s intercom, she’d en-trusted them to my upstairs neighbours who, in turn, en-sured they were promptly hand-de-livered to me.

I hadn’t even had time to discover them missing and fl y into a well-de-served panic before they were back in my possession.

Th e usual PIN change and other necessary precau-tions aside, the fact is, I got very lucky.

Aft er chastising my walk-ing companion for planning to leave her purse in the trunk of her car, my own foolproof plan to carry my cards with me had crashed and burned in rather spectacular fashion, thanks to a moment’s inattention.

Th e fact that this stranger took the time to bring the cards all the way to my home is re-markable to me.

And I regret that I didn’t get the chance to thank her person-ally.

Normally, in such cases, I’d suggest an expres-sion of gratitudethrough a letter to the editor. But, let’s face it, in this case, that would just be weird.

So, thank you, whoever you are.

Your honesty and the eff ort you made to return my valu-able lost items is greatly appreciated.

None of this is tosuggest we should let our col-lective guard down. Obviously, it’s important to remain vigilant about our personal and fi nancial security — online, on the phone or face to face. It’s the new(ish) reality.

But, then again, isn’t it nice to know that we needn’t lose all our faith in humanity just yet?

‘I felt helpless’: SchoutenPriority one is appealing to the

wider Cloverdale community for available housing in the imme-diate area for two to six weeks, along with fi nancial donations, ideally by Dec. 15 so the next step in the process can get underway as soon as possible.

“We’re hoping to have those funds ready before Christmas,” he said.

Th e group doesn’t expect to raise all $40,000 needed but would prefer to be at least part way to that goal.

“Once we have a threshold of funds, we will be confi dent that we can do this,” he said. “For-ty-thousand dollars is already tight in Surrey for a family of four.”

Like so many people around the world, Schouten was heart-sick at images of the mounting Syrian refugee crisis in Europe, particularly that of the lifeless body of toddler Alan Kurdi, who drowned along with his brother and mother on a perilous journey

on a small open boat to Greece in September.

“I felt helpless,” said Schouten, an immigrant who made his own journey to Canada in 1994 from the Netherlands at the age of 23, and who realized he wasn’t able to sit idly by without trying to do something to help.

As a family, the Schoutens have decided to forgo expensive Christmas presents, and instead focus on helping refugees.

When told there would be “no $200 Lego set” under the Christ-mas tree this year, his boys, aged 8 and 10, said, “No problem.” Th ey didn’t need to be persuaded to spend that money on someone else who really needs it.

“We have essentially every-thing we need in this part of the world. Why not make it a ‘heart gift ’?” he explained. “Something that goes from one human heart to another human heart?”

Although the church will be the refugee resettlement spon-sor, the group is not looking to specifi cally relocate Christians. A majority of the refugees from

Syria are Muslim. “It’s about a humanitarian ef-

fort,” he said, adding the church is looking to sponsor any family seeking to come to Canada, no matter what troubles have forced them to leave their home behind.

It’s also not known if the fam-ily will be from Syria or from another country. Schouten says various estimates put the number of refugees worldwide at nearly 20 million – with 25 percent ofthose being victims displaced by the Syrian crisis.

Th e group is inviting the wider community to help out, and be part of a local response to a glob-al issue.

“I’d love to see other church-es, and other faith communities start rallying, or perhaps do their own thing,” he added.

Note: For now, donations of household items are not being accepted.

Banking on helping others

By Evan SealStudents at Clayton Heights Sec-

ondary School have been learning about personal fi nances and how the decisions they make about money impact their lives and the world around them.

Developed in collaboration with the Royal Bank (RBC) and Free the Children, It All Adds Up is an educational resource thats helps stu-dents learn to make smart personal fi nancial decisions around budget-ing, while at the same time, helping others.

Students were able to apply practi-cal everyday issues to understand the math, literacy and empathy concepts learned in class.

Th e Grade 10 students were given a budget of $500, with a task of mak-ing lunches for the homeless in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

By sourcing the lowest prices for each item, the students then worked together, using the Canada Health Guide to provide the healthiest lunch for the lowest cost, eventually making lunches for more than 500 people.

“It feels so good to help people, said Grade 11 student Aisha Parkes, who participated in the project last year. “And I learned a lot about plan-ning for your future.”

Th e Government of Canada’s Financial Literacy Leader Jane Rooney – who was at the school to learn about the project – was also impressed with the program.

“What these students have done for themselves and their community is a wonderful example of the benefi ts of strengthening the fi nancial literacy of young people,” she said.

Drive to conditionsPolice are warning drivers they can

actually be ticketed for driving the speed limit.

Th e caution from B.C. RCMP Traf-fi c Services comes with the onset of darker oft en rainy conditions in the Lower Mainland, and the possibility of snow in the weeks ahead.

“Speed limits are maximums in ideal conditions and many drivers disregard this when the weather changes,” said Cpl. Ronda McEwen.

“Th e roads are oft en wet and slip-pery and visibility is poor due to fog and rain. Drivers need to make the necessary adjustments.”

If you’re in a crash and police de-

termine you were travelling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions you could be issued a violation ticket for speed relative to conditions, she said.

Th at’s a $167 fi ne with three pen-alty points that can be issued even if you were within the posted speed

limit.B.C. police issued

460 tickets to drivers last fall and winter for driving too fast for the road conditions.

Motorists are also be-ing urged to take extra

precautions to watch for pedestrians, to ensure all vehicle lights and wipers are working properly, and to take time to defrost windows before heading out on the road.

Students give blood, challenge other schoolsBy Jennifer LangDonating blood on a

Sunday aft ernoon prob-ably isn’t the fi rst thing that springs to mind for a high school outing.

But that’s exactly how 17 students from Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary spent a recent Sunday.

Th e school is compet-ing in Canadian Blood Services’ Young Blood for Life campaign, run-ning from September to June across the country.

Th e program is a stu-dent-led challenge that aims to increase the number of blood do-

nations and fi rst-time donors among students aged 17 and older.

Th rough a partner-ship between FedEx Express and Canadian Blood Services, par-ticipating schools have the chance to win lo-cal, provincial and na-tional prizes, based on the number of units of blood collected.

LTS science teacher Michele Stea said the students made a group blood donation on Sun-day, Nov. 22 at the clinic at Cloverdale Catholic Parish Centre.

Stea hopes the exam-ple set by students will help recruit another generation of donors by getting other schools to participate in Young Blood for Life, and in turn, become life-long donors.

Th e student blood donor program at Lord Tweedsmuir began in 2006.

Since then, hundreds of students have be-come blood donors, and many alumni have con-tinued to donate blood.

During last year’s Young Blood for Life

campaign, high school students at participat-ing schools across the country donated close to 19,000 units of blood and more than 5,000 new donors gave blood.

Over the past six years, Young Blood for Life has collected al-most 99,000 donations and recruited over 35,000 new donors.

According to Canadi-an Blood Services, one in two Canadians are el-igible to give blood. Last year, one in 60 did so.

• CBS needs about 170,000 additional do-

nors to maintain the na-tional blood supply

• At any given time there are hundreds of Canadians searching for a stem cell donor

• More than 4,500 people are waiting for organ transplants but only a fraction of Cana-

dians are registered to donate

Th e next local clinic is Jan. 17, 2016 at Clo-verdale Catholic Parish Centre, 17475 59 Ave-nue.

To register for the next clinic, visit blood.ca.

Wartime memories stolenBy Kevin DiakiwTh ey never met him, but they

had important memorabilia, such as a trench war diary, ser-vice medals, wartime paperwork – and that was all just stolen from a north Surrey home.

At 18 years old, Alfred Hillman joined the British Regular Army in 1908, and served every minute of the First World War from 1914 to 1918 as one of the Lancashire Fusiliers, an elite line infantry regiment.

Even though they never met, his granddaughter and grand-son were able to cull informa-tion about him from some of the things he saved.

Th ey were all kept in a green hat box.

A few medals were in a case in-

dicating his time of service.Inside that case is a small piece

of shrapnel that was taken out of his knee.

He also had paperwork indi-cating his service.

One of the true gems was a trench warfare diary, where he wrote down what happened in battle on a frequent basis.

On Dec. 2, some time between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., someone broke into a north Surrey home near 106 Avenue and 125 B Street, and stole a round hat box containing all that memorabilia.

Other things were taken too, including a camera, and “mostly junk” as his grandson describes it.

Whoever broke in was hungry, as they also helped themselves to

food in the fridge.Th e family is pleading with

whoever took the green hatbox fi lled with those wartime mem-ories, to return it, no questions asked.

Th e memorabilia is worthless for someone looking for cash, but priceless for his family.

Th e hatbox is olive green felt, about eight inches across and six inches high. It contains several wartime papers, medals and a journal.

Anyone else who knows the whereabouts of the hatbox is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Coal terminal gets port’s green lightBy Jeff NagelA revised proposal to

build a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River in Surrey has received approval from Port Metro Vancouver.

Th e port author-ity last week issued an amended project permit to Fraser Surrey Docks that approves the company’s altered plan to load coal directly onto ocean-going ships, rather than fi rst barging coal to a transfer site at Texada Island as origi-nally planned.

Th e terminal would bring up to four million tonnes per year of U.S.

thermal coal by rail through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta, adding one extra coal train per day.

“We’re very pleased with the port’s deci-sion,” said Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott.

Coal opponents predict the project will never be economical, although it has reduced its expected operating costs with the move to loading directly to ships.

Fraser Surrey Docks’ project is still facing court challenges and the requirement to get an air emissions permit

from Metro Vancou-ver, aft er abandoning its court challenge of the regional district’s authority.

Scott wants to start construction as quickly as possible, but the target completion date may be fl uid.

“It’s really about tim-ing our facility to when we think the market is going to swing back in a positive direction,” he said.

“We think this is a commodity cycle, a market cycle. We recog-nize 40 per cent of the world’s population still relies on coal to gener-

ate electricity and heat and light and the world still needs steel. So we still remain bullish on coal in the long term.”

Scott did not directly answer when asked if it was urgent to secure approval lest the new federal government give the port new directions to consider climate change in its reviews.

A new environmental review released by Port Metro Vancouver in support of the deci-sion again concluded the project is unlikely to cause signifi cant adverse environmental

impacts.Th e shift away from

barge loading removed one of the objections of opponents – that coal dust from open barges would be more prone to waft ing out into neighbourhoods and the environment.

It also increased the project cost to $42 million because of the need to install a taller ship loader.

An estimated 80 Pan-amax-size ships would haul coal out each year, instead of 640 barge loads.

Communities and Coal spokesperson Paula Williams said those ships will run on diesel power when moored because Fraser Surrey Docks doesn’t have shore electricity available.

“How in the world they expect to obtain an air quality permit for the pollution coming from the coal, as well as the Panamax ships is beyond me,” Williams said. “Th ey will have no shore power so those ships will be running 24-7. Luckily, Port

Metro Vancouver does not control air quality permits.”

One U.S. coal fi rm recently announced a three-year halt to shipments through B.C. due to “extremely depressed” coal prices.

Th at means a four million tonne decrease in coal – equivalent to one train per day – coming by rail to Westshore Terminals at Deltaport from 2016-18.

By Jeff NagelNew electronic speed signs

that activate in bad weather to reduce the speed limit are being installed on stretches of the Sea-To-Sky Highway, the Coquihalla and Highway 1 near Revelstoke.

Th e province committed to the variable speed zones at the same time it decided to raise the post-ed maximums to 120 km/h on portions of the Coquihalla, and to 100 km/h on much of the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Th e 47 digital signs are to go live in early 2016 and when they’re ac-tivated the dialed-down limit will be enforceable by police.

Th e province had promised the digital signs would be in place for this winter, but with two to three months of testing still required, winter may be mostly over on the Highway 99 section by the time they’re working.

An extensive system of traffi c, pavement and visibility sensors will be calibrated to detect challenging conditions –  whether it’s extreme cold, freezing rain or heavy snow-

fall – and provide a recommended speed to operations staff , who will update the maximum speed shown on digital signs.

Overhead message signs at the entrance to each corridor will tell drivers they’re entering a variable speed zone and to be aware of changing weather conditions.

Th e transportation ministry is spending $12.5 million to install and run the three pilot systems.

Offi cials hope the pilot project will spur more drivers to reduce speed in severe winter conditions and save lives.

Police say they’re developing procedures to fairly enforce the variable limits and ensure drivers have seen the signs before being tickets are issued.

“Th ere’s huge challenges from the enforcement side,” Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the traffi c safety commit-tee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police.

“We have to be absolutely c o o r d i n a t e d

with the province when they’re turning them down.”

Dubord said variable speed zones will help mitigate the risk from the increased speed limits, which he said police chiefs still have qualms about.

“We would still like to have seen the speeds stay where they were, on the Coquijalla especial-ly,” Dubord said, adding speed remains a major contributor to fatal crashes.

Crews are installing 16 vari-able signs on the Sea to Sky from Squamish to Whistler, 13 on the Coquihalla from Portia inter-change to the old toll plaza, and 18 on Highway 1 from Perry Riv-er to Revelstoke.

Dubord said he had hoped to see the signs activated sooner.

“We’re already getting some good snows on the Coquihalla so it would be nice to have it up there already.”

Fassbender downplays referendum ruleBy Jeff NagelB.C.’s minister responsible for TransLink

showed signs last Th ursday the province might waver from its commitment to hold another referendum on any new transit tax if that’s necessary to secure billions of dol-lars in federal government contributions.

Peter Fassbender told the Surrey Board of Trade the province will aggressively lobby the new federal government for B.C.’s share of money for transit and other projects in light of the incoming Liberals’ pledge to make major infrastructure grants and the new federal infrastructure minister’s indica-tion that a more generous funding formula may be coming.

When an audience member asked the minister if he still stands behind the pre-mier’s promise that there be no increase in TransLink taxes without another vote, Fass-bender said he wouldn’t give an unequivocal answer.

“It’s a diff erent day today with a new fed-eral government, with new opportunities. So we’re going to fi nd out exactly what the federal government wants to do,” he said. “If we need to move quickly, we need to be prepared to move quickly.”

Speaking later to reporters, Fassbender denied he is pivoting away from the refer-endum promise, adding he needs to fi rst understand the intention of federal minis-ters before funding discussions can resume with Metro Vancouver mayors.

“We’ll make those decisions as some of those other issues become clear,” he said.

Th is year’s transit plebiscite on a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax was craft ed on the basis regional taxpayers had to raise a one-

third share of major projects, with matching thirds coming from Ottawa and Victoria. It was defeated with a 61.7 per cent No vote.

A more generous federal grant could reduce the bite on regional taxpayers and make a new tax proposal more palatable.

Transit advocates have suggested an eventual move to road pricing could be ex-empted from the referendum requirement, or that a future plebiscite force voters to pick a new tax, without a none-of-the-above option.

Th e province has long urged the mayors to reconsider their opposition to raising TransLink property taxes, which would not trigger another referendum.

Fassbender said he and Transportation Minister Todd Stone have a list of proj-ects they want the federal government to support.

Th ey include the light rail ‘L’ line in Sur-rey, a Fraser Highway rapid transit line, the Broadway subway, buses elsewhere in the region, a third SeaBus and a Pattullo Bridge replacement – all of which were on the plebiscite ballot – as well as the province’s pet project: the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge.

Fassbender reiterated he does not intend to reopen TransLink’s governance structure, adding mayors now select all the directors on the TransLink board except the two provincial government appointees.

He also urged business leaders to sup-port and defend the oft en embattled transit agency.

“I know they’re trying their best,” Fass-bender said of TransLink managers and staff .

“We need to support them. Yes, we we need to hold them accountable as we should hold ourselves accountable for those things when sometimes they don’t go right,” he said.

“But you know what? On the whole we’ve got a great system and we can make it much better by stopping the negativity and getting on with the vision the mayors have devel-oped.”

Giants take two out of four weekend gamesBy Rick Kupchuk

Vancouver Giants netminder Ryan Kubic set a new franchise record, leading the Western Hockey League team to a pair of shutout wins on home ice.

Th e Giants won two of four games last weekend, gaining some ground in a race for a playoff position in the Western Con-ference. Aft er a 6-0 win Wednesday (Dec. 2) over the Medicine Hat Tigers and a 4-0 triumph Friday over the Kootenay Ice, the Giants then lost twice. Th ey dropped a 3-1 decision on the road to the Everett Silvertips, and fell 6-5 Sunday to the Prince George Cougars in the Pacifi c Coliseum.

Kubic was the win-ning goalie in the two shutout victories, and his shutout string of an even 208 minutes was a new franchise best.

Th e old record was set by former Surrey Eagles netminder Dustin Slade, who went 198:18 in the 2006 playoff s.

Th e Giants are 8-18-2-2 (win-loss-overtime loss-shootout loss), and remain in the basement of the B.C. Division, six points out of a playoff position in the Western Conference.

Kubic turned aside 33 shots against Medicine Hat, while the Giants scored six times on the 28 shots directed at the Tigers’ net. Ty Ronning had the hat trick for Vancouver, with Chase Lang, Dylan Plouff e and Trevor Cox adding singles. Cox, who scored the game’s last goal with the Giants shorthanded, also had a pair of assists.

Th e Giants were two-for-six with the man advantage, while the Tigers were scoreless on three powerplay opportunities.

Kubic was perfect again Friday night in a 4-0 win over the Koo-tenay Ice, making 25

saves. Ronning, Lang and Radovan Bondra found the net in the fi rst period, giving Van-couver a 3-0 lead aft er just 20 minutes. Alec Baer was the only goal scorer over the fi nal two periods.

Kubic’s shutout run came to an end 10 minutes into Saturday’s game in Everett, when Matt Fonteyne gave the Silvertips a 1-0 lead. Everett was up 2-0 when Tyler Benson got the Giants to within one with a powerplay goal 43 seconds into the third period.

Th e Silvertips added an insurance goal with two minutes remaining.

Th e Prince George

Cougars chased Kubic from the net less than fi ve minutes into Sun-day’s game, taking a 2-0 lead by scoring twice on three shots on net.

Th e Giants rallied with goals from Plouff e late in the fi rst period and Baer early in the second.

Th e Cougars re-gained the lead with a powerplay goal, but fell behind 4-3 aft er Lang and Benson tallied for the home team.

Prince George then reeled off three straight scores to go up 6-4. Vancouver cut the dif-ference in half on a goal by Ronning with two minutes to go, but time ran out on the Giants.

Th e Giants will play three games next week-end, all against the 19-8-1-1 Victoria Royals.

Th e Royals visit the Giants Friday night at 7:30 p.m., then the two rivals will travel to Victoria for games Sat-urday night and Sunday aft ernoon.

Blue linesGiants captain Tyler

Benson was named the WHL’s Player of the Week. Th e Edmonton native tallied eight points in four games, scoring twice and assisting on six other goals.

Th e 17-year-old now has 19 points, including seven goals, in 20 games so far this season. Th e six-foot, 1906-pound forward is eligible for next sum-mer’s National Hockey League Entry Draft .
