Mayor alleges intimidation as council votes publicly to cease multifamily/business trash pickup

White Rock elected officials ‘threatened, harassed’

5 shootings reported in 4 days

I’ve had enoughof this: HepnerKevin DiakiwBlack Press

Surrey’s mayor said she is appalled at the recent string of shootings in the city and has let the RCMP know arrests are a top priority.

“It is my worst nightmare,” Hepner told Black Press Monday. “It’s brazen, it’s in the community, we assume it’s targeted, (but) it frightens me.

“I want to see it stopped. I have had enough of this,” Hepner said.

Her comments come after a weekend of gunfire in the city’s streets, bringing the total to 16 shootings in just over a month – an average of a shooting every second day.

“Unbelievable,” Hepner said of that statis-tic. “Isn’t that just beyond comprehension?”

The latest shooting happened Monday night at an unconfirmed location in New-ton, and there was another report of shots fired near 70 Avenue and 149 Street. There was no word on whether anyone was injured at Peace Arch News’ press deadline Tuesday.

At a meeting where White Rock city council was tasked with pub-licly addressing the contentious issue of changes to solid-waste pickup, claims of bullying and intimidation on the part of protest-ers were made by the mayor.

In the end, council voted Friday to move forward with the priva-tization of solid-waste pickup for commercial and multifamily units.

Before the meeting got underway, Mayor Wayne Baldwin addressed the council chambers’ standing-room-only crowd about what he called “unacceptable” incidents tak-ing place throughout the city.

“Some members of our commu-nity seem to have lost their perspec-tive and have moved from respectful democratic debate, which is the basis of our political system…,” Baldwin started, before being drowned out by outcries from the crowd.

The mayor threatened to adjourn the meeting if interruptions con-tinued, then resumed.

“Recently, one councillor has been subjected to a movement to boycott his businesses, which includes posting flyers throughout the community and threats made to his employees. Another council-lor, with a young family, has been harassed over the telephone and threatened unless he changes his vote. A third councillor felt suf-

ficiently intimidated by protesters that a request was made for police presence at council chambers.

“In a city where we celebrate our volunteers and our community spirit thrives, this is particularly disappointing.”

(Baldwin later confirmed to Peace Arch News that plain-clothes officers were in attendance, and at the previous Tuesday’s special council meeting as well).

After the mayor read from his

prepared statement, the city’s direc-tor of engineering and municipal operations, Greg St. Louis, pre-sented council with a number of options, including rescinding its earlier decision – made in-camera on Dec. 15 – to eliminate multi-family solid-waste pickup.

However, city staff recommended council proceed with its initial plan – effective July 1 – and suggested three methods to aid residents.

Monday’s reports come on the heels of a weekend of gunfire in Surrey.

On Sunday, a man was shot in the 7000-block of 130 Street at 5 p.m.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that a car drove up, shots were fired from the vehicle, and it drove away.

On Saturday, shots were fired from one car to another near 128 Street and 60 Avenue in Newton. There were no reports of injuries in that shooting.

And on Friday at about 5 a.m., Sur-rey RCMP received a call of shots fired in the 11700-block of 96 Ave-nue. On arrival, officers found evi-dence of shots being fired at a home in the area. No injuries were reported.

The recent spate of violence kicked off March 10 with three shootings in 19 hours. They were followed by sev-eral other incidents involving gunfire.

Police believe four of the shootings are linked and said most are targeted.

Last month, RCMP took the unprec-edented move of identifying some of

the people who had been shot and those who drove them to hospital. Police asked for public assistance in identifying their known associates.

Mid-March to mid-April has been one of the most violent periods in Surrey in recent memory. Hepner said she’s had several conversations with Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge, Chief Supt. Bill Fordy.

“There’s a lot of pressure coming from my office (to the RCMP),” Hep-ner said. “And I have every confi-dence in the police.”

But the RCMP can only do so much without public support, Hepner said, urging those with information to come forward – “somebody has to step up.”

Surrey has ordered 100 new officers this year, but Hepner believes there’s more that can be done now.

“We’ve increased our youth unit for the after-school (programs),” Hepner said, noting the city has pushed for initiatives that could help prevent future shootings.

‘Somebody has to step up’ from page 1

While South Surrey-White Rock vot-ers await a candidates list for the Oct. 19 federal election, three parties have already declared nominees in neigh-bouring Cloverdale-Langley City.

Dean Drysdale (Conservative), John Aldag (Liberal) and Scott Anderson (Green) are all already actively pre-paring for the vote. Drysdale and Aldag live in Langley, and Anderson now lives in Cloverdale, but is build-

ing a new home in Langley City.So far in South Surrey-White Rock,

only Dianne Watts (Conservative) has been announced as an official party candidate.

Both new ridings have been cre-ated out of portions of the current South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding, while Cloverdale-Langley City also includes parts of the current Fleet-wood-Port Kells and Langley ridings.

Spring break savings

DistrictunpluggedLauren CollinsBlack Press

This past spring break, the Sur-rey School District implemented its campaign to “Turn it off before you take off ” for the second time, and it’s showing promising results.

The campaign urges staff and students to unplug electrical items where possible as a way to reduce “stand-by power” while the schools are empty.

Stand-by power refers to the elec-tricity still being consumed by elec-tronics and appliances while they are turned off or in stand-by mode.

During spring-break closures – March 9-20 – 60 schools and dis-trict sites participated in the cam-paign. The district’s energy con-sumption dropped approximately eight per cent compared to spring break last year – about a $15,000 saving over the two-week period.

According to BC Hydro, some of the savings could be attributed to projects such as Hydro’s Continu-ous Optimization project, which ensures equipment is only running when schools are fully occupied to improve the performance of build-ing operations.

Heather Scholefield, BC Hydro’s Workplace Conservation Aware-ness (WCA) manager, said the program supports organizations across the province.

“The Surrey School District has demonstrated great leadership in conservation through partici-pation in Power Smart’s WCA Program and winning the Power Smart Excellence Award for Con-servation Awareness and Engage-ment in 2014,” Scholefield said.

This was the second of three shut-down campaigns being undertaken in the district in an effort to elimi-nate energy waste when schools are largely unoccupied.

Surrey schools first implemented the campaign during the 2014 win-ter break.

White Rock residents who took the city to court over a bylaw that they maintain resulted from flawed processes have had their petition to have it declared invalid dismissed.

The decision regarding Bylaw 2045 by Jus-tice G. Bruce Butler was announced Mon-day, just over three months after the matter was heard in B.C. Supreme Court chambers.

“I conclude that the bylaw is consistent with the OCP and it is premature to deter-mine if a development permit is required,” Butler writes. “Accordingly, I dismiss the petition.”

The petition was filed in March 2014 by Belair residents Dennis Lypka and Bill Holmes, within weeks of White Rock coun-cil approving Bylaw 2045 on a 4-2 vote. The decision cleared the way for an eight-storey, 199-bed care facility for the Evergreen Cam-pus of Care, at 1550 Oxford St. – immedi-ately south of the 12-storey Belair.

During public information meetings, opponents expressed concerns with the process, as well as the facility’s anticipated impact to views, natural light, neighbour-hood traffic and property values.

The petitioners’ lawyer argued the project was wrongly characterized as institutional, and therefore the bylaw was inconsistent with White Rock’s Official Community Plan.

The standard of review is one of correctness, he said.

The city’s lawyer, however, argued the issue should be decided on a standard of reason-ableness.

In his reasons, Butler said there “is no merit” to the petitioners’ position regard-ing the standard of review. He noted a 2011 court decision on a matter in Saanich “determined that the standard of review when considering the question of consis-tency between a local government’s bylaw and OCP is reasonableness.”

“In this case, there is no question that the

standard of review is reasonableness,” Butler writes. “Further, there is no question that the standard of review requires considerable deference: this court should not interfere unless the bylaw is one which no reasonable body could have passed, taking into account the legislative scheme and the policies and objectives set out in the OCP.”

Finding the bylaw consistent with the OCP is “the only reasonable conclusion,” Butler found. “Quite simply, there is nothing in the

bylaw which is inconsistent with the goals or policies set out in the OCP.”

Regarding the issue of requiring a develop-ment permit for the project, Butler said the request was premature, as the project had not reached the appropriate stage, and the petitioners did not name the property owner as a respondent.

In a statement issued late Monday after-noon, city officials said they are pleased with Butler’s ruling, which also entitles the city to costs.

Lypka said by email Monday that turning to the courts was the residents’ only meaningful option for preserving and protecting their interests as citizens and homeowners. He reit-erated that they do not oppose the principle of development or expansion, but the plan to “build such a massive institutional building so high and so close to our homes.”

Lypka noted that Belair residents will “carefully review” the decision before decid-ing how to proceed.


Its stares are intense but the great horned owlet that’s been spotted on a South Surrey farm in recent weeks is not the raptor to be wary of – not yet, at least.

A horse that ventured a little too close to the youngster learned that the hard way, when the little dude’s – or gal’s – parents launched a defensive strike, a neighbour who has been monitoring the owlet’s “amazing” progress from afar said.

Ever since, “horse refuses to go anywhere near that area,” said the woman, who asked not to be identified in order to protect the owlet and its family’s location.

“We do not want them harassed or too many people gawking at them making them ner-vous,” she explained.

The owlet was spotted about 2½ weeks ago, in a field near a Douglas fir, and has been a source of delight for a few nearby residents ever since. They’ve watched it grow from “a ball of fluff.”

“I get to see this baby owl every day,” the neighbour said. “At first, his mom was there

most of the time. Now, you don’t see her. He’s starting to work his wings.”

News of the owl family’s discovery did not surprise Martina Versteeg, bird-care supervi-sor at Owl Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL).

“Great horned owls are the most wide-spread owls in North America,” Versteeg told Peace Arch News last week, describing the birds of

prey as “very tough.”“He should start to fly pretty shortly.”The property owner where the family was

found did reach out to OWL to ask if the owlet might need rescue, the neighbour said. But, hearing that it was growing and moving well, and that its parents had been seen watching over it, she was advised to simply let things be.

Versteeg confirmed that unless a creature is injured, unwell or in a location where it could be easily preyed upon, it is best to not intervene.

“If there’s two parents around… that’s a per-fect little environment for them,” she said. The young “usually fledge and fly (at) eight to 12 weeks.”

For anyone interested in learning more about owls and other birds of prey, Versteeg encour-aged a visit to OWL’s Delta facility later this month, during their spring open house.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 25 and 26, the 3800 72 St. centre will offer public tours, kids activities and raffle prizes. As well, each day at 1 p.m., a rehabilitated raptor will be released.

For more information, visit www.owlcanada.org or call 604-946-3171.

These include:• providing technical assistance to

multifamily complexes to deal with procuring a private-waste hauler, by way of staff assistance or a consultant, at an estimated cost of $40,000 to $50,000;

• providing education to multi-family complexes – and single-family homeowners – on the objectives of sorting recycling and organic waste, at a cost of $10,000 to $15,000; and

• providing 12,000 ‘kitchen catchers’ – small bins for col-lecting organic waste – to both single-family and multifamily residences, at a cost of $40,000. Upon conclusion of St. Louis’s

report, Coun. Grant Meyer put forward a motion to vote on the three recommendations.

“I hope (this report) clears up some of the misinformation and lack of communication and edu-cation that happened previously,” Meyer said. “That being said, I think we made the right decision before.”

At the request of Coun. Helen Fathers, the recommenda-tions were split into individual motions. The first – to continue as planned and to provide tech-nical assistance – passed with Fathers and Coun. David Chesney opposed. The second – to pro-vide education – passed unanimously. And the third – to provide bins – passed with Chesney opposed. After the meet-ing, Chesney told PAN he believes the city “let down the multifamily residents in White Rock.”

“When 350 people turn out at the community centre, that’s more than just the usual suspects that turn up at council chambers,” Chesney said of the well-attended April 1 public-information meeting at which resi-dents aired grievances about the city’s plans. “There was nobody there speaking in favour of what the city was doing.”

Ian Routledge, a condo resident who co-orga-nized a March 23 protest at city hall, told PAN he was disappointed, but not surprised.

“It’s them trying to apologize for how they’ve treated us,” Routledge said. “It’s not even about garbage. It’s about how the city is treating its resi-dents, with a total lack of communication through this whole thing.”

Regarding the claims of harassment and threats, Routledge said Monday that he feels Baldwin’s statement was “insulting.”

“Freedom of expression is our right as Canadians,” Routledge said. “If some-one wants to put up signs to boycott a business, it’s freedom of expression. The mayor has no right to tell people that they can’t do that or that it’s not right.”

Routledge said the threatening phone call that Baldwin referred to was made to a councillor at a phone number listed on the city’s website, and that the com-ment made was that “his political career would be over if he didn’t change his vote.”

“It wasn’t a threat, it was a state-ment,” Routledge said, calling Baldwin’s comments “overboard and uncalled for.”

“As a city official and city leader, I thought he looked very weak, scolding the people of White Rock in that manner. I would expect a leader of a city to be far more mature than that.”

Routledge and other condo res-idents had planned to present as a formal delegation at Monday’s regular council meeting, but

decided to cancel their appear-ance after Friday’s meeting.

“They’re not listening to us,” Routledge said, noting the group will get together later this week to decide what next steps to take, if any.

“To go there would just be more insulting than after the meeting last Friday.”

After Friday’s meeting, Baldwin acknowledged the city’s short-comings in handling the issue.

“The suggestions (staff) came up with today, they’re really good ones, but they were ones that we should have done right at the outset,” he told PAN. “We should have started that back in Janu-ary. If we had done that, maybe things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”

Three months after learning criti-cal funding for homeless-prevention programs had been cut, officials with Sources’ Community Resource Soci-ety are celebrating its return.

David Young, Sources’ executive director, let the secret slip Satur-day evening, when he shared it with nearly 200 guests at the organization’s 20th anniversary gala.

“About two weeks ago, we found out that our funding is coming back,” Young told the crowd. “I’m not in a position to announce that yet…”

Young learned in January that Employment and Social Develop-ment Canada would cease funding Sources’ Newton-based homeless-prevention services.

The cuts, amounting to $200,000 per year, were a result of the federal government initiating a new funding approach – through which Sources’ application for continued funding was rejected.

The news was devastating, but Sources’ continued the services by drawing on reserve funds and putting even more emphasis on fundraising. Their annual Coldest Night, held in February, raised about $60,000; Sat-urday’s gala grossed $87,000.

Young told Peace Arch News Mon-day that he announced the funding return at the gala – without a firm number and prior to the official news expected later this month – because it didn’t feel right to keep it under his hat while asking people to support the cause.

“I felt if I didn’t share the information then, there’s no integrity,” Young said.

He told PAN that the funding has been confirmed for about 18 months. He doesn’t know what triggered the change, but suspects community response to its loss, along with media coverage and speaking to politicians all played a role.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has wondered why the media keep calling her for comment on crime in her city.

“I’m not the sheriff,” she eventually told News 1130 last week, after diverting reporters’ calls to the RCMP for days in the wake of a dozen shootings in March.

Hepner’s defenders suggest it’s odd that the mayor’s thoughts would be sought as part of such reportage. After all, it’s the police who fight crime, not politicians.

Others might think it odd that the mayor has nothing to say. After all, it’s the mayor, the city’s most high-profile elected representative, who speaks for it and who guides civic policy, including policing budgets.

But, according to Hepner, everything is done and dusted – and that should be sufficient to address a distressing spike in shootings.

“I can’t do more than that which we are doing, which is getting those police on the ground, responding to the events, and actually doing some significant preventative work,” she said.

Perhaps Hepner is missing something here. Her office comes with certain obligations. Surely, one doesn’t spend such a great deal of time, energy and money making oneself a community figurehead without being willing to comment on concerns of that community.

Dare we suggest the message most needed now isn’t one of buck-passing, nor is it solely, as Hepner finally said Monday after three more one-a-day shootings in her city, that “there’s a lot of pressure coming from my office” to the RCMP.

What we need to hear is that our community is ultimately a safe one, and that such crimes will not be tolerated.

We need to hear that our civic leaders will not stop until perpetrators are brought to justice, to ensure our communities return to peaceful normalcy; that if there is reason to believe most of these shootings are targeted, we must be vigilant and ensure no innocent is caught in the crossfire.

And we need to hear that our mayor will mount pressure, not just on our local RCMP officials, but on their provincial and federal counterparts – as well as hers – to ensure safety on our streets and in our homes.

In short, we need to hear leadership.The most respected politicians are those who

are swift to offer words of comfort, that they can put our concerns in context and provide some sense that something is being done. This is what statesmanship is about.

No, our mayor is not the sheriff – but she is, as defined by our Criminal Code, a peace officer.

We need her to help keep the peace.

The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week,

celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations.

A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks.

This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title.

Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is.

These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s

report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job-creation

program for those involved.These Vancouver Island

communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination.

In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been

at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found.

This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had.

Indeed, a common feature of the province’s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand

meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them.

This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s.

These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory.

One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular.

Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage.

Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message.

If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

Meritorious behaviourEditor:

We were fortunate to start our Easter weekend with an act of kindness. Two Girl Guides out selling their cookies found my son’s wallet in our driveway in Ocean Park and promptly returned it. He hadn’t even known it was missing!

The girls were excited to have found it for us.

We want to thank them again for their kindness but also highlight what groups like the Girl Guides, Scouts, Cadets and many more do to instill a sense of community and desire to help others among our children. With so many examples of nasty behaviour in the news, it’s nice to see groups that foster such positive behaviour.

So when you see the Guides or others out there doing their fundraising, remember it’s not just about the cookies, but showing support for groups that make a difference.Colleen Kusack and family, Surrey

She didn’t speak for meEditor:

To the flagman who had the unfortunate encounter with a crazy woman at the construction zone on Oxford Street on Tuesday, April 7, it did not go unnoticed. I felt terrible for you as you kept your cool.

Hey lady, I too was in the construction lineup. As a witness to your rant and rave as you approached the flagman in front of all the other motorists and workers, I was appalled you had the nerve to say at the top of your lungs that you’ve got “places to go.”

Your disruption was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for you as you selfishly yelled at the flagman, arms in the air, telling him how to do his job. Would you rather have had the road closed altogether?

You are lucky you are not a guy because he should have put you in your place!

You may have been having a bad day; perhaps your selfish act just ruined his! Nobody likes to be yelled at and you certainly did not speak for the rest of us.

Shame on you for disrespecting others when they are only doing their job to keep the rest of us safe.L. Reid, White Rock

Governmental oversightEditor:

I am afraid – not as afraid as a Gypsy or Jew in prewar Germany, but I keep thinking I should be.

Bill C-51 gives us a secret police force that has the ability to spy on us. Stormtroopers if you like.

The government would have free access to our private information, our financial and medical well-

being, our opinion if expressed openly in any form, our affiliations with any religious or political group and more. The control and power over us that this information gives any controlling group is absolute.

The free press that we grew up with being eroded, and we will soon be posting secret hand-bills under cover of darkness in order to feel comfortable expressing an opinion like the one I am expressing here. All of this power to no good end.

Too much information is as ineffective against terrorism as none. The good stuff gets buried. And perhaps even more frightening is the ability to use it against you.

If we have no knowledge of what is being collected, we have no ability to argue. This may mean, for example, that the off-hand comment you made about not liking a certain foreign political leader may mean that, when this information is collected and shared, you are prevented from taking a flight or even detained on foreign soil.

Our own government has admitted that C-51 is fundamentally flawed.

Considering this government’s attitude towards environmental

activism and their catastrophic inability to move away from carbon-based energy, I am deeply worried about those who have a stronger conscience regarding the stewardship of our planet.

Bill C-51 is frightening. Our prime minister is pushing it through against public opinion and I disagree. It doesn’t take much imagination to see where this bill could lead us. Janice McKenzie, Surrey

The Harper government is intent on pushing through Bill C-51 even though 71 per cent of Canadians are against this bill. How can the government ignore the opinions of a large majority of Canadians? Why is the government so intent on pushing Bill C-51 through?

It gives CSIS unparalleled powers to spy on innocent Canadians without their knowledge and to share their sensitive information with no less than 17 different government agencies and even foreign governments.

Does Canada need a secret police agency with little oversight or accountability? The government acknowledges this bill is flawed.

Canadians ask the government to go back to the table and start over. Corinne Wilander, White Rock

In January 2014, German Chancellor Angela Merkel made the following statement to the German Bundestag: “The possibility of total digital surveillance touches the essence of our life. It is thus an ethical task that goes far beyond the politics of security. Millions of people who live in undemocratic states are watching very closely how the world’s democracies react to threats to their security: whether they act circumspectly, in sovereign self-assurance, or undermine precisely what in the eyes of these millions of people makes them so attractive-freedom and the dignity of the individual.”

Bill-C51 does not meet this ethical test. In seeking to protect us, but in not providing necessary oversight or accountability, it undermines our freedoms. Governments, of whatever political stripe, tend to stretch and extend their powers unless there are clear limits on their actions. Bill C-51 must be stopped.Peter Ferris, Surrey

needs your help if you have a caring heart, a good sense of humour and a wish to support your community.

A practical turn of mind doesn’t hurt.MOWs has been in operation since February 1970. We

are a volunteer, non-profit society, trying to protect the independence, dignity and safety of those who appreciate a little help in the everyday practicalities of life.

One of the common denominators of life is food. None of us can live without it. Some of us are injured and cannot cook it for a time. Some of us forget how to cook safely. Some of us have made so many thousands of meals in a lifetime that we are simply no longer interested in doing it. Sadly, some of us can no longer afford to buy the nutritious food we need.

This is where our volunteers come in. Good people. Many now retired who still want to be needed and useful in the support of our neighbours.

Others with young families to nurture want to be out there contributing needed work during school hours. During school vacations they bring children along to the delight of our clients and fostering the art of kindness in the next generation.

We all know that spreading a bit of kindness in the

world makes our own lives more meaningful.Our food provider is Evergreen Campus of Care,

undergoing great changes at present that will allow more of our seniors to remain in their own community without being shipped off elsewhere, often with disastrous consequences, because “there is no room at the inn.”

These changes have resulted in us losing some longtime, very honoured, volunteers.

We pick up and return the meal boxes at the top of a very steep driveway, requiring a walk down and up again as they return their book and records to our wee office in another building. Bad knees and hips cannot manage the climb. We’ve suffered some regretful retirements, after five, 10, 20 and more years of constant service.

Should you be interested in joining us, training is provided, along with great camaraderie and the unmatched smile of doing your bit to keep our hometown a better place to be.

Two signature community events – the Cloverdale Blueberry Festival and the annual Halloween costume parade – will be put on hold this year, as the Cloverdale BIA grapples with budget constraints and shifts focus to other priorities.

The board hopes to bring both events back in 2016.

Soaring operational costs and lack of sponsorship forced the BIA to postpone the events, but the association will set up a fundraising committee in order to seek additional revenue.

“We have created some amazing events and we cannot sustain them,” executive director Paul Orazietti said at the annual general meeting, calling the decision to cancel a “one-time correction.”

Some members voiced their disappointment.

“It just seems a shame to lose the blueberry festival, even though it will only be a year,” said Kathi Nicholson. “It’s really such a great event and it brings so much to the community.”

She wondered if the association could instead scale back the festival rather than cancel it.

“With $25,000 to $30,000, we could could probably pull off a modified version,” Orazietti replied.

The April 6 AGM was called to approve a revised 2015 budget.

The City of Surrey had deemed there was insufficient detail provided to the association’s membership on this year’s budget, as presented July 9, 2014.

The Cloverdale BIA board will be calling an extraordinary general meeting in a few months to unveil new bylaws and constitution.

Topping the priority list is to continue planning installation of long-awaited gateway signage, starting with a “Welcome to Cloverdale” sign at the northwest corner of Highway 15 and Highway 10.

The BIA is working with the City of

Surrey on a number of other beautification initiatives as well, including a landscaping project along Highway 10 near 180 Street.

The revised budget also sets out more money and resources for business recruitment, and earmarks additional funds for communications projects and safety and security.

Meanwhile, the board will be open to sponsorships that might save the blueberry festival, which celebrated its 11th anniversary last August.

Orazietti said the BIA’s cost

to hold the blueberry festival was $50,000, with a significant portion – about $30,000 – coming from sponsors.

Also cancelled for 2015 was October’s Halloween Costume Parade, a supervised trick-or-treat parade to local businesses that takes place during the daytime. The event’s popularity created traffic control issues – a significant added cost.

Other events will continue, starting with May’s Cloverdale Rodeo. It’s hoped December’s Santa Parade of Lights will also be going ahead.

A new poll has found nearly three quarters of Metro Vancouver residents think the region should be reorganized into fewer municipalities, but there’s no agreement on how far any amalgamation attempt should go.

Just 14 per cent of those surveyed by the Angus Reid Institute supported merging all 24 local governments into a single Metro Vancouver super-city,

while 26 per cent would keep all the existing municipalities, and the rest are split between other options to redraw boundaries.

The survey found 33 per cent think two to five cities could serve the region well, while 13 per cent said it would take six to 15 and another 15 per cent suggested 16 to 23.

As for how regional government should work, 41 per cent support the current system of electing local mayors and councillors,

who then represent their municipalities at the Metro Vancouver regional district board.

Another 31 per cent preferred a directly elected regional board that deals with select issues, but leaves most matters to local councils.

Pollsters said the results show little consensus and only modest appetite for change.

Residents of smaller and mid-sized cities within Metro Vancouver tended

to be less supportive of amalgamating municipalities than residents of Vancouver or Surrey.

Respondents were evenly split on whether policing should be regionalized, ending the patchwork of municipal police and RCMP detachments.

But most agreed other services like transportation and economic development should be regionally delivered, while services like libraries, parks and

fire departments should be left to local municipalities. A smaller majority of 57 per cent saw social housing as a regional

responsibility as well.Amalgamation was

discussed in some municipalities in last November’s civic elections – some areas

like North Vancouver and Langley are split into a city and a district or township – but there has been no serious push to pursue it.

A fifth man has been charged, pleaded guilty and was subsequently sentenced in relation to an historic Surrey homicide.

David Mitchell, 25, died Oct. 25, 2006 after being found severely beaten in a home near 110 Avenue and Ravine Road in Surrey.

In November last year, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced it had arrested four men in connection to Mitchell’s death. Khalid Damien Arnaout, 35, was charged with second-degree murder, while three others – Charles Vincent Chambers, 34, Michael Ludwig Yost, 32, and Kevin Alexander Pigott, 32 – face charges of manslaughter and accessory after the fact.

Now, Black Press has learned that in early December, a fifth man, 46-year-old Gerald Dominic Desjarlais, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for his involvement in Mitchell’s death. He received a suspended sentence, three years probation and a 10-year firearms

prohibition. As well, IHIT confirms that

the four others accused in Mitchell’s death will skip preliminary hearings and be tried in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

The trials of the four men will now proceed by way of direct indictment, which resulted in a stay of proceedings of their charges last week in Surrey Provincial Court.

At the time of the first four arrests, Mitchell’s family

lamented his being taken from them “with so much of his light left in him.” They said he

was a compassionate, talented writer who also struggled with drug addiction.

“We had always believed that he would overcome his addiction and would have gone on to help others, a desire that he often expressed to those closest to him,” said his family in a prepared statement.

“Unfortunately, we will never know what could have been.”

ESTATE PLANNING:BEYOND THE BASIC WILLThe Importance of a Comprehensive Estate Plan A Last Will and Testament is the cornerstone of most estate plans. The estate planning process is, however, a much broader undertaking than the simple writing of a Will.

Whether you have an existing Will or are making one for the rst time, it is important to meet with an experienced estate planning lawyer to ensure that your Will operates effectively as part of your overall estate plan and will result in a smooth transfer of wealth on death.

One of the fundamental aspects of estate planning is recognizing the tax consequences of death as well as the tax consequences of lifetime gifts and transfers. An estate planner can identify what taxes may be payable as a result of your death, assess the impact of such taxes on your estate and your bene ciaries and advise on the appropriate steps to minimize, defer, eliminate or provide for the payment of such taxes.

Estate planning also includes considering the necessity of insurance, the designation of bene ciaries on insurance policies and RRSPs, the structuring of the joint ownership of assets, and the preparation of a valid and legally enforceable Will prepared in accordance with B.C. law.

Another key consideration is recognizing who can challenge your plan on death. In B.C., our wills variation laws permit spouses and children (including nancially independent adult children) of a deceased

to bring a claim to vary the deceased’s Will if they feel they have not been adequately provided for. An experienced estate planning lawyer can assess the strength of your plan in light of BC legislation and caselaw and, if appropriate, advise on other strategies that may be available to avoid frustration of your plan and ensure that your wishes are effectively carried out.

If you would like to review your existing estate plan or inquire about making a Will, please contact Kim Karras or Kirsten Wharton at BRAWN KARRAS & SANDERSON 604-542-5344 or by email at [email protected] or [email protected].

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula


Until last year, the idea of organ donation never occurred to Sanya Grover.

And why would it? She’s a healthy teenager, busy with school activities and the like.

But when news arrived that her uncle in India needed a kidney transplant, that all changed.

“It was pretty scary,” Grover said last Wednesday, during a break from class at Southridge School.

Grover’s family learned it could take three to five years for her uncle‚ – whom she last saw about seven years ago‚ – to receive the transplant.

Fortunately, the 43-year-old underwent

the life-saving procedure last fall‚ – after just six months‚ – and continues to recover.

With the scary part largely in the past, Grover said she has been inspired to try to make a difference for other transplant patients, by spreading word of the need for

organ donors.“When I went through this

experience... it really opened my eyes to this issue and the importance of organ donation,” Grover said.

By becoming a donor, “you’re not simply signing a paper. You’re giving the gift of life... a second chance (for someone) to live their life to the fullest.”

Through research, Grover has discovered many things about organ donation, among them, that there are about 4,500 people

across Canada currently waiting for an organ transplant, including 465 in B.C.; that the need far outweighs the number of available organs; and, that many patients die waiting.

At age 15, Grover has to wait three years before she can sign up to be an organ donor – and she “definitely” plans to, although she hasn’t decided if she’ll register to be a living donor or make her organs available after death.

For now, she’s determined to start a tradition of awareness, both at Southridge and in the community at large. National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week, April 20-24, is a good time to start talking about it, she said.

At school, Grover’s service-club classmates were quick to offer support, helping her

establish a dedicated committee. Their plans this month include a screening of the documentary, 65_Red Roses, which tells the story of Eva Markvoort, a young New Westminster woman who battled cystic fibrosis until her death in 2010 at the age of 25. Markvoort had been waiting for a second double-lung transplant.

The students also plan to set up an information booth on organ donation in Southridge’s junior school lobby; and hope to address local Rotary clubs.

“I think really realizing the significance of organ donation is so important,” Grover said. “I think if the youth is aware about this then the next generation can also be more prepared.

“I want to kind of make it a tradition. Hopefully it stays in our mind that way.”

Sanya Grover, in Grade 9 at Southridge School, is determined to raise awareness about organ donation. She was inspired by her family’s recent experience: her uncle is recovering from a kidney transplant.

Last year, the Fraser Health Authority (FHA) treated approx-imately 2,000 youth showing signs of mental illness – a num-ber that has more than doubled in the past six years.

According to Jane Adams, pres-ident and CEO of Surrey Hospi-tal and Outpatient Centre Foun-dation, that’s why more than $1 million in funds is needed by the health authority to establish a short-stay psychiatric unit for children aged six to 17.

To be located at Surrey Memo-rial Hospital, the 10-bed, 24-hour Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit would house youth for a period of five to seven days. During that time, those young patients would be stabi-lized and assessed for further treatment.

Currently, the province has just five short-stay psychiatric beds for youth provincewide and they are all located at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“These 10 beds will triple the capacity in the province,” said Adams.

Abbotsford resident and mother of two Karen Copeland said she still recalls having to travel to Vancouver while her now 12-year-old son received psychiatric treatment at B.C.

Children’s Hospital for his men-tal illness. The stress of com-muting, additional expenses incurred, having to be away from her daughter and home, plus the reality of what her son was deal-ing with was simply “overwhelm-ing.”

“Anytime you can have a ser-vice like that (a Surrey youth psychiatric unit) locally, it is such a good thing for families,” Cope-land said. “I just totally believe in having it in Surrey, in Fraser Health.”

According to the foundation, about one in seven young people in B.C. will experience a mental illness during their lifetimes, and

up to 70 per cent of those mental health problems begin to develop before the age of 18.

The approximately $9 million needed to build and operate the facility will be paid by the FHA and government funding, Adams said.

The remaining $1.25 million the foundation is raising will be used for making “the environ-ment as child-friendly and sen-sory-appropriate as needed,” she added.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University accounting students were among lead-ers and volunteers recognized this month by the ALS (Amyotrophic Lat-eral Sclerosis) Society of B.C.

The Accounting Society of Kwantlen won in the category of Leader of Tomorrow: Ages 18-25, for their contribution in helping organize the Peoples Drug Mart Walk for ALS at the Richmond-Vancouver and Surrey locations, as well as for their fundrais-ing efforts for the Walk for ALS events.

“It is young philanthropists like the Accounting Society of Kwantlen that keep organizations like our alive,” ALS Society of B.C. executive director Wendy Toyer said in a news release.

“The future is in good hands if this is our next generation.”

The Leader of Tomorrow Award rec-ognizes youth and young adults under age 25 – this year’s youngest recipient was just five years old – who, through volunteer efforts, are making a differ-ence in the lives of those living with ALS.

ALS is a progressive, neuromuscular disease that attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in

the body, causing those muscles to lose strength, atrophy and die. It can strike anyone, no matter their age, gender or ethnic origin.

The ALS Society of B.C. raises funds for research and to provide services and support to those currently living with ALS.

The ALS Volunteer Awards were pre-sented April 7 at the Seymour Golf & Country Club.

PROFESSIONALSON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA

Fascia. Fascial tissue. Fascial release. Perhaps you have heard these terms. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that envelopes every muscle, bone, blood ves-sel, nerve and organ in the body. Flexible yet strong, it essentially creates an integrated and completely connected network that goes from head to toe and from inside to out, providing support, structure, pro-tection and much more.

Researcher Dr. Robert Schleip describes fas-cia as the “Cinderella” tissue because it has been forgotten and over-looked. But, just like Cinderella, fascia is now coming into its own as more interest is being shown and more research is being done. Manual therapists like Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are learning new techniques to work with fascia to relieve discomfort and dysfunction.

Injury, overuse and inactivity can bring on problems (adhesions) in the fascia, causing the tissue to not slide and glide as it should. Like a pull in a sweat-er, these adhesions can cause a twist or a torque and prevent proper movement, resulting in pain and dys-

function. This is where RMTs can help; applying fas-cial release techniques to allow the fascia to regain its elasticity, restoring movement and function.

Ocean Park’s Registered Massage Therapists are trained to both treat and assess, in addition to review-ing exercises, adding modifi cations for those with

underlying conditions, and recommending any stretches and pre- or post-workout care to help prevent injury. RMTs use various tech-niques to aid in the heal-ing process and speed up recovery time.

RMTs in BC are among the highest trained in Canada, and Ocean Park’s therapists have a combined 50 years of professional experience. For everything from in-juries to chronic pain and pregnancy, OPMTC’s patients are in exception-ally good hands!

Ocean Park Massage Therapy Clin-ic is open every day except Sundays. For an appointment call 604-531-1776.

lifestylesBig win

Saying ‘yes’ to the extra paid off for Shanil Narayan, after the Surrey resident won $500,000 on a Lotto Max ticket.

Narayan – who says he always plays with the same numbers – was in a rush on Good Friday and purchased a “quick pick” ticket instead, for the April 3 draw.

A few days later, he remembered to check his ticket, only to discover he’d won the ‘extra.’

“I checked my ticket two or three times and I couldn’t believe my eyes,” he said. “People kept coming up to me excitedly to ask if I had won. That’s when everything started to slow down for me.”

Narayan said the big win would definitely change his life, joking that he would make some “grown-up purchases” with his money, including buying a new home.

Narayan purchased his winning ticket in Squamish.

Through April 18, individuals are encouraged to pick up postcards at the city’s library (15342 Buena Vista Ave.), community centre (15154 Rus-sell Ave.) or police detachment (15299 Pacific Ave.), and write anonymously about one thing that was significant in helping them cope with and/or recover from a significant life event. (Partici-pants are asked to avoid describing the actual incident.)

This year’s Victims of Crime Week theme is Shaping the Future Together.

The postcards – also available at Sources (882 Maple St.), Sources’ Women’s Place (15318 20 Ave.), Seniors Come Share Society (15008 26 Ave.), Avalon Women’s Recovery Cen-tre (101-1548 Johnston Rd.) and the Vine Youth & Family Centre (15455 Vine Ave.) – are to be on display Sun-day, from noon until 4 p.m. beside White Rock Museum and Archives.

PODIATRISTWhat is a “Neuroma”?

A: Pain, numbness or tingling in the forefoot, usually between and extending into the third and fourth toes, almost always indicates a neuroma. Causes: A neuroma is caused by the irritation of one or more nerves in the forefoot. This is usually the result of poor biomechanics. The result of this direct nerve irritation is infl ammation and pain, worse with activities.Treatment: Try using a metatarsal pad. Custom orthotics are often used to control the over-pronation. A podiatrist should be consulted to assess the degree of nerve damage. An injection may be warranted. Another option is a simple, minimally invasive nerve decompression procedure. As a last resort, open surgery might be indicated to remove the damaged nerve. This will solve the problem, but will lead to permanent numbness between two toes.Prevention: Switching to running shoes with more motion control should be helpful.Activity Restrictions: None really, but it is best to wait until the pain subsides or is treated before engaging in long runs or lengthy activities.

TRAVEL & CRUISE AGENTI am planning on getting married in Mexico next spring and have read about some of the language rules and legal requirements. Are there resorts or destinations where I can get the documents in English.

Yes every country has their own legal requirements for weddings and you need to understand them as well as how Canada accepts their legality. If you are traveling to a Spanish Country their documentation will all be in Spanish. There are several resorts that specialize in weddings, however more and more often these weddings are more ceremonies with the legal work done by a JP here in Canada prior to the trip.

REALTORIn a Contract of Purchase and Sale, what’s the difference between Completion, Possession and Adjustment dates?Completion Date (or Closing Date) refers to when the Seller receives payment from the Buyer for the property through their respective legal fi rms. Title is transferred from one to the other and registered with Land Titles. Possession Date (often with a specifi c time such as 1pm) refers to when the Buyer has the right to take possession of the property and the Seller/Seller’s Agent provides keys and access.Adjustment Date refers to the date upon which fi nancial responsibility for such things as property taxes, utilities, maintenance fees, rents, and damage deposits is calculated. Generally most contracts place Possession and Adjustment on the same date.The Completion Date takes place fi rst and generally Possession/Adjustment Dates are one or two days later. That provides suffi cient time for legal work to be done and funds transferred with room to spare for any unforeseen emergencies. However, each case is different and dates are always negotiable. Just ensure your Completion dates don’t coincide with weekends and/or statutory holidays.

YOUR HEALING ARTS EXPERTHow can I sharpen my intuition to experience success?

Everyone has intuition. Intuition is an inner knowing, a gut feeling, a fl ash of insight that solves the problem. To begin working with it set aside 5-15 minutes a day. Begin by quieting your mind and focus on your breathe. Bring your awareness into your stomach and imagine peace enfolding you. Ask yourself a question and feel the answer. Keep it simple. Watch any fear that arises. Write down your observations. Keep practicing and take action.

BUSINESS CENTREWhat are the benefi ts of operating your business through a Business Centre?

There are several benefi ts to running your business out of a Business Centre. Top fi ve considerations are: 1) Pay only for space you need,

when you need it2) You do not require large start-

up capital, thus ensuring a lower risk factor

3) The services of a professional support team are a part of your monthly package and include reception, administration, mail / shipping, as well as telephone answering services

4) Furniture, equipment and boardrooms are included in your package

5) Connect to and network with like-minded entrepreneurs and business owners in the shared work environment

When you take all of these factors into consideration, you discover a Business Centre offers benefi ts that far outweigh those of a conventional offi ce space.

PET HOSPITALQ: Does your dog have seasonal environmental allergies?What are the signs of seasonal environmental allergies in dogs?

A: Ears: See your vet if there’s a strong odour or discharge coming from your dog’s ears, or if it has recurring ear infections. Pawing at its ears or shaking its head may also be signs.Skin: See your vet if you notice that your dog is itching and scratching, rubbing against furniture to get relief or obsessively grooming. Hair loss, skin lesions and redness are also symptoms.Paws: See your vet if your dog is excessively chewing at its paws or grooming to the point of removing fur. In fact, itchy paws may be the sign of an allergy – maybe even to the same pollen you are allergic to. Other symptoms include paw discolouration from licking or red/sore paws. The good news is that there are treatments available to help seasonal environmental allergies and other allergies. With the support of our veterinary staff your pet won’t need to suffer throughout allergy season.

Are There Alternatives for Seasonal Allergies?

Seasonal allergies are particularly common to people who have moved to our part of the world from very different climates. Often it is found to be more common in the next generation. The typical approach is to use antihistamines and to desensitize against the pollen. However, the pollen is not the problem. We have to concentrate on the internal conditions, not the external environment. A combinationof nutrition, botanical medicine and homeopathy has been effective for a great many people. A careful and complete history will indicate the direction that is appropriate for each case.

OPTOMETRISTWhat To Do About Eye Allergies?

Environmental allergies cause itchy, watery and red eyes. Try to avoid touching your eyes, as that can expose you to more allergens and increase your symptoms. A cold compress reduces swelling and irritation. Eye drops are available in either prescription, or non-prescription format to relieve your symptoms. Your optometrist can tell you which are most appropriate for you. Oral allergy medications can also be helpful for some ocular allergies. Contact lenses accumulate airborne allergens so consider being refi t into daily disposable contact lenses for the allergy season.

sports…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Nick GreenizanSports Reporter

This year’s Sandcastle Cup rugby grudge match may have lacked the drama of last spring’s game – which

took overtime to decide – but bragging rights changed hands nonetheless.

On Monday afternoon, with rain pelting down at South Surrey Athletic Park, the Earl Marriott Mariners defeated the Semiahmoo Totems 30-0 and reclaimed the trophy that eluded them last year, when Semi upset them in extra time.

“It’s brilliant. It’s truly an amazing feeling,” said Earl Marriott senior Liam Sullivan.

“Last year was crushing to lose it. We went into last year’s game, I think, with a bit of elated sense of self. We thought we could win it quite easily, and we didn’t. So we ate our humble pie and realized these are never easy games. We came out this time and played a lot harder.”

Though the game was never truly in doubt for the Mariners – who are ranked inside the top-four in B.C.’s senior boys elite division – head coach Adam Roberts admitted his team played far from its

best rugby, in no small part thanks to the weather.

“There were tons of mistakes out there – the weather is a great equalizer. Whether it’s wind or rain, the ball just isn’t the same, and our guys just couldn’t really get our mojo going in the first half. We never really clicked,” Roberts said.

And though the atmosphere surrounding the game was far less raucous than in years past – again, due to weather, as well as a last-minute decision to move the game

from 4 p.m. to 3 p.m. – the longtime Marriott coach believed nerves and excitement probably got the best of both sides, at times.

“The kids make so much of this game that sometimes they don’t end up playing the way that they should,” he said.

“They get so worked up – even some games in provincials don’t mean this much to some of the guys. But that’s the nature of this game. It’s a great rivalry.”

Sullivan said his team had added incentive heading into the game, as well, considering the contest fell on the six-month anniversary of the deaths of Clayton Heights Secondary students Cody Kehler and Chantal MacLean, both of whom were well known in the South Surrey rugby community.

The two 17-year-olds were killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Delta last October.

“They were very dear to us, and we’re wearing black armbands today, for them,” Sullivan explained after the game. “It’s been six months, so today meant a little bit more.”

Marriott led 17-0 at halftime, and tacked

on another two tries, plus a penalty kick, in the second half, to extend the lead. Despite the score, the two teams played a physical game right until the final whistle.

“It was a really hard-fought, physical battle, right through, just like it was last year,” said Marriott Grade 12 player Liam Moore.

“This year, we were just a lot more focused, and we stuck to the basics. It was really good.”

Prior to last year’s loss to the Totems, the Mariners had won each game since 2009. Semiahmoo has not been without it’s dominant stretches, either. They won in 2008, and at one point won 19 of 20 cup contests.

With the Sandcastle Cup now back in their grasp, EMS will take aim at a top-three provincial ranking. On Friday, they’ll head to Oak Bay – and the winner will be crowned No. 3 in the province, behind only private-school powerhouses Shawnigan Lake and St. George’s.

“It’s a big game, and it will decide a whole lot. But I think we can do it – we have a strong, confident group,” Roberts said.

First win as pro

South Surrey golfer Adam Svensson has his first win as a professional.

Last weekend, the Earl Marriott Secondary grad – who was burning up NCAA competition while at Barry University in Florida until turning pro last month – won the Lake Country Classic, part of the SwingThought Tour.

Svensson, 21, shot a seven-under par 65 in the final round, and then beat Toronto’s Lucas Kim in a playoff Saturday. Svensson earned $20,000 for the victory.

Prior to turning pro in March, he won nine of his last 14 NCAA Div. 2 tournaments. He also won the Jack Nicklaus Award in 2014, given to the top golfer in the NCAA.

Two former Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association players cur-rently playing in the Western Hockey League – and one Semi-ahmoo Minor Hockey alum – are among North American skaters ranked in the National Hockey League Central Scouting final rankings.

Parker Wotherspoon, currently with the Tri-City Americans, is ranked 43rd while Tyler Soy of the Victoria Royals is listed 78th.

Devante Stephens – a former Semiahmoo Raven and Valley West Hawk defenceman who now plays in Kelowna – was also listed at 116th.

Central Scouting ranks players eligible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, set for June 26-27 in Sun-rise, Fla. Their final rankings were released last Wednesday.

Wotherspoon, a defenceman in his second season with the Amer-icans, was their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points this past season. He added an assist in four playoff games, after which the Americans were eliminated in straight games by the Kelowna Rockets.

He tallied twice and added 16 assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a third-round selection in the Entry Draft.

Soy, a centre, scored twice and

added four assists for the Roy-als in their first-round playoff series, in which they defeated the Prince George Spruce Kings in five games.

Soy completed his second sea-son in the provincial capital with 28 goals and 63 points in the regular season, and was named winner of the team’s Unsung Hero

award.In his rookie season, Soy tallied

15 times and added 15 assists. He is projected to be a fifth-round selection in the draft.

Stephens, meanwhile, played 64 games on the blue-line for the Rockets last season, notching four goals and adding seven assists.

7 OBITUARIES

CAINE, EvelynOn April 1, 2015 Evelyn passed away with her family at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Jim in 2012.Evelyn is survived by her devoted family: children Neil (Pam), Lynn (Brian), Greg (Kim); wonderful grand-daugh-ters Brandy, Kerri, Amy, Leanne; and great-grandchil-dren Tayven and Oliver. She is also survived by her sister Ellie, and brothers Jack and Don (Cathy) as well as many nieces and nephews. Evelyn was born in Edmonton to Jack and Evelyn Inkpen. She attended school in Edmonton and later worked at the University Hospital and Doctors offi ces. Evelyn met Jim in Edmonton. Following their marriage they decided to move to Surrey to establish a fur farm and shortly thereafter made their home in White Rock where their children grew up knowing the farming life and small town atmos-phere. Evelyn did the books for their businesses and worked on the farms during busy seasons. She took great pride in caring for her family and creating a warm and loving home. She encouraged her children to become gener-ous, loving, hard working and respectful adults and volun-teered in support of their many endeavours. She created a beautiful garden and spent many hours tending her plants. Eve and Jim, married for 61 years, enjoyed traveling to many beautiful places, often in the company of wonderful friends. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life; a meal to celebrate family events, out-ings with her grand-daughters, time spent with friends, a walk at the beach and supporting her community. Evelyn will be tremendously missed but her love and her values live on with us all. The family appreciates the wonderful care provided by Dr. Kanagaratnam and the Peace Arch Hospice.In lieu of fl owers please consider a donation to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society in Evelyn’s memory.A celebration of Evelyn’s life will be held at a later date.
