Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robert-son unseated North Vancouver Dis-trict Mayor Richard Walton to take the chair of the TransLink mayors’ council in a vote Friday as regional politicians head into a challenging transit tax referendum campaign.
A second election saw Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner picked over Delta Mayor Lois Jackson for the
mayors’ council’s vice-chair posi-tion.
Both Robertson and Hepner, as well as Walton, pledged to fight hard for a “yes” outcome in the plebiscite to create a 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax, dubbed the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund transit and transportation expansion.
JEFF NAGEL
Th e leader of the “no” campaign in the Metro Vancouver transit referendum has unveiled his own proposed solution to avoid a new 0.5-per-cent sales tax – but it’s not going over well on this side of the Fraser.
Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) B.C. director Jordan Bateman is instead calling on Metro mayors to earmark 0.5 per cent a year of future municipal revenue to transportation projects.
“Revenue growth among TransLink, Metro Vancouver and the 21 municipalities will clip along at 4.8 per cent a year over the next decade,” Bateman said. “Th at’s far more than infl ation or any other level of government.”
He argued redirecting 0.5 per cent of municipal budget growth to transit, plus the same from the budgets of TransLink and the regional district, would still leave cities ample spending room, while providing the extra $250 million for transit that would come from the proposed Congestion Improvement Tax.
“We wouldn’t have to pay a new sales tax, and they’d still have a 4.3-per-cent windfall of new money to spend every year.”

Both mayors will also get seats on the TransLink board of directors dedicated for the mayors’ coun-cil chair and vice-chair. Serving on the TransLink board brings more time commitments and roughly $50,000 a year in extra pay.
Robertson said he wanted the top job to ensure Vancouver had representation in TransLink deci-sions at the board level and to give the yes campaign a high profi le in the region’s biggest city.
“I want to make sure we win this referendum,” Robertson said.
Hepner predicted a “very tough cam-paign” ahead, adding a yes outcome is crucial to the region’s economy and livabil-ity. She promised to provide south-of-the-Fraser representation and deliver yes votes from the region.
Hepner last fall campaigned for mayor on a pledge to get a Surrey light rail network built by other means if the referendum failed, and she was pressed by reporters on whether she still takes that position.
“I’ll deal with that (promise) if I have to,” Hepner said. “My focus right now is making sure we get a plan A, which is making sure this referendum passes.”
Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam, was nominated for vice-chair but declined, as did Walton.
Moore – who nominated Hepner – said victory may ride heavily on the ability of the Surrey and Van-couver mayors, and their powerful election campaign
machines, to get yes votes from the region’s biggest cities.
“Th ere are large populations there and we need those mayors to play a predominant role in working at the mayors’ council and with their electorate to win this campaign.”
At Moore’s request, the mayors’ council made the chair and vice-chair elections a population-weighted vote. Because Surrey and Vancouver have nearly half Metro’s population, the move meant Hepner’s and Robertson’s wins were guaranteed with Moore’s backing, even if every other mayor opposed them.
Jackson, the only mayor in the region to support the prov-ince’s requirement of a referendum on new transit taxes, was nominated by Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read, one of only three mayors who oppose the new tax.
Jackson voted in favour of the tax at the last mayors’ council meeting in December, but in her pre-vote speech she stressed her ability to be a strong voice and highlighted concerns about goods move-ment in the region.
She had been at odds with several other mayors over her support for the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge.
Jackson said she will defi nitely vote and campaign for yes in the referendum, but said her council hasn’t yet taken a position.
Th e mayors’ council intends to send out an infor-mation householder on their transportation plan before the ballots go out in mid-March.

Al Cleaver, a former fi re chief of Surrey who championed the city’s history and heritage, passed away Th ursday morning at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
He was 88.On Jan. 15, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Association announced
the passing of the 2010 Surrey Civic Treasure “with deepest regrets and heavy hearts.”
Cleaver, who retired as Surrey Fire Chief in 1986 after serv-ing 28 years, was also the Surrey Fire Service’s fi rst training offi cer.
In retirement, he continued to embody community service and volunteerism, earning recognition as a Surrey Civic Trea-sure in 2010.
His nomination was put forward by the Friends of the Sur-rey Museum and Archives Society, Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission, Surrey Historical Society and Surrey Profession-al Fire Fighters’ Pioneer Association.
Cleaver founded the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society, which raised more than $1 million for the Surrey Museum
capital campaign.After the new museum in Cloverdale opened, Cleaver con-
tinued to lobby for phase two – a commitment he stuck with until his dying day.
Th e original project was scaled back on the understanding a second phase would follow within 10 years.
But in 2011, the society asked the city to return more than $200,000 plus interest from a $450,000 reserve fund.
With the money, Cleaver and the friends society launched an endowment and a sponsorship program off ering free ad-mission to the museum.
Just last week, Cleaver seemed brightened by some prom-ising news from Surrey City Hall on phase two from fellow “Friends of the Museum,” society vice-chair Ursula Max-well-Lewis said.
Cleaver was a past president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, had chaired the Surrey Heritage Advisory Committee and the Heritage Services Community Advisory Board, and was a member of the Surrey Tourism Association.
He hosted heritage week bus tours, worked on heritage commissions, and helped Surrey Professional Pioneer Fire Fighters Society raise money for a fi re fi ghter’s history gallery in the Surrey Museum.
Al Cleaver Park in North Surrey is named after him.In early November, he was pictured on the hustings sup-
porting another Surrey Fire Service alumnus – city council candidate Mike Starchuk, who won his seat.

A staff -only memo is warning of “unprecedented site congestion” at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH).
Th e Jan. 16 site alert calls it an “all hands on deck” situation as the hospital grapples with multiple infection outbreaks, including c. diffi cile, infl uenza and other respiratory conditions.
SMH is experiencing “the highest volumes ever of patients in Emergency needing admission without assigned beds,” it says.
Fraser Health Public Aff airs Director Ken Donohue said the worst day came Jan. 11 when about 470 patients came to emergency, compared to a usual caseload in the high 300s.
Donohue rejected suggestions that staff levels at the hospital are inadequate.
“What we’re seeing are high patient numbers,” he said. “Th e acuity or the seriousness of the illness of many patients is a bit higher than normal and that means patients are requiring more care than normal.”
He said there are high levels of the fl u virus circu-lating in the community, with fl u outbreaks in mul-tiple residential care homes, and that’s one trigger causing higher-than-normal congestion.
Donohue said extra staff have been brought in as required.
Th e memo says managers and directors are helping fi nd solutions and an operations command centre has been set up to pursue new strategies.
Donohue said residents can help by calling 811 to speak to a nurse before going to emergency to see if there are other options besides hospital.
Donohue said the c. diffi cile outbreak in one med-ical unit is being countered with restricted transfer protocols and enhanced cleaning and infection control procedures.
According to Fraser Health’s report card for Surrey Memorial, the hospital admitted only 34 per cent of incoming ER patients within 10 hours in 2014, well off a provincial government-set target of 55 per cent.
SMH was notorious for congestion for years, leading to the construction of both the Jim Patti-son Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre and a new $512-million ER and critical care tower.
Th e new larger ER opened in October 2013 but didn’t immediately improve congestion as much as expected.
Champion of history and heritage passes on
Al Cleaver Park in North Surrey (11870 River Rd.) is named after the man who did much to preserve the city’s heritage. Fittingly, Al Cleaver Park is one of the oldest park sites in Surrey, with the subdivision of land around the green space dating back to 1891. FILE PHOTO

He argued the realloca-tion of money could be less if there are aggres-sive cuts at TransLink or if the mayors’ 10-year plan is stretched out to 12 or 15 years.
He calls for exclusion from the plan of a new Pattullo Bridge, calling it an “attempt to hood-wink drivers” because the bridge replacement will be built no matter the referendum outcome and funded with tolls.
“Th e Pattullo is a safety issue,” he said. “Replac-ing a 76-year-old bridge that may not stand up to an earthquake shouldn’t
be a way to troll for a few votes to fund a fancy subway in Vancouver.”
Bateman’s document also points to new Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s talk of fi nding other methods to build light rail in Surrey if the referendum fails as evi-dence more of the plan may still unfold without the new regional sales.
He said a no vote will not cause “carma-geddon” but will force change on TransLink, adding cuts there should be the mayors’ top priority.
Bateman released a 50-page analysis from an accountant backing his solution.
Th e “better plan” wasn’t getting a hot reception in Surrey or Delta.
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the plan is off the mark. She said revenue from growth is used for services such as police, fi re and recre-ation centres.
“Which of those ser-vices would they like us to cut?” Hepner asked.
As one of the country’s fastest-growing munici-palities, Surrey’s revenue from growth is 4.82 per cent, or $18 million annually.
In the Bateman plan, Surrey would pay $1.7 million of that to TransLink.
Chair of the city’s fi -nance committee, Coun. Tom Gill, said Bateman’s plan is ill-conceived.
“Th is is absolutely ridiculous,” Gill said. “Surrey’s three times the size of Vancouver and one-third of our land mass is in the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve)… We have our own challenges.”
Revenue from growth, he said, is used to pay for the costs and challenges related to growth.
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson also panned the plan. She noted Bateman’s idea is com-pletely unfair to a city such as Surrey, because it’s growing so fast. In addition, she noted, this region is suff ering from the poorest transit infra-structure. Cities such as Richmond and Vancou-ver already have a viable transit system.
“Asking Surrey to pay the lion’s share because it’s been ignored for years is unfair,” Jackson said.
She said places such as Delta, White Rock and Langley City have no developable land left, so they would be paying nothing towards the new plan.
In addition, she said that money from growth is required elsewhere.
Th e yes campaign has not formally launched yet but the proposed sales tax has been en-dorsed by a broad coali-tion of groups represent-ing businesses, students, environmentalists, labour and others.
Yes campaigners said the CTF attack was a “predictable, familiar and repetitive” litany of complaints without real solutions.
“Th e CTF plan is a long complaint we’ve heard before that off ers no alternatives to fami-lies, workers, students, businesses and drivers who face traffi c conges-tion, insuffi cient public transit and increasing air pollution,” said yes coalition member Elizabeth Model, CEO of the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association.
Th e new tax, along with expected provincial and federal contri-butions, would fund $7.5 billion in capital projects, including a new subway along Broadway in Vancouver, light rail in Surrey, 11 new B-Line express bus routes, more frequent SeaBus service and a 25 per cent lift in overall bus service.
Mail-in ballots for the transit tax referendum go out in late March and must be returned by May 29.

It has recently come to our attention that some Lower Mainland pet stores that sell puppies have been claiming that the breeders who supply them are regularly inspect-ed and registered by humane societies or the SPCA.
This is simply not true. The SPCA only inspects if there is a complaint and there is no regulatory system to guaran-tee “reputable” breeding.
There are no independent inspections of breeders and being registered with a kennel club only ensures a breeder has agreed to a voluntary code of ethics.
Our advice is simple: Please adopt, don’t buy. The pet trade is a huge industry, with
breeders often supplying the animals to “brokers” who warehouse the animals before shipping them to retailers.
When you buy an animal online or from a pet store it’s likely you’re supporting this cruel trade. Only adopt from shelters and rescue groups.
When you buy an animal instead of adopting one, it means another homeless animal remains languishing in a shelter.

Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?
Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being fl ogged.
“Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coff ee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxifi ed body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Ga-vura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs.
Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent condi-tions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” fi nd his takedown of this notion.
He traces the roots of purifi cation rituals in religious and medical histo-ry, such as when patients were bled with leeches.
Actual “detox” is administered in
hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poi-sons. Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th century.
“Today’s version of autointoxication argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fl uoride, prescription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps last night’s bottle of wine are causing a buildup of “toxins” in the body,” Ga-vura writes. “And don’t forget gluten. Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.”
Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic” produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.
Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fi ll with water. Metro Vancouver is a rain forest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid.
Discreet inquiries yielded similar
answers. Aside from the odd supersti-tion about chlorine or fl uoride, they had no idea at all. Th ey didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozonation, or what they were buy-ing, which was essentially municipal water run through a fi lter. Th ey had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fi t for washing clothes and driveways.
Vaccinations? Don’t get me start-ed. In the past year I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with infl uenza, and with a veteran poli-tician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body.
It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that
fuel is burned, or the threat of genet-ically modifi ed canola oil, or smart meters. Th e media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientifi c literacy and preferring confl ict over common sense.
Take Vancouver (please). Th e mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the cen-tral myth of hippie science.
At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical check-up.
Try that one if you’re over 50.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and
columnist for Black Press.
Th ere seems to have been a continuous stream of road work along 152 Street in South Surrey. On my last trip, I counted 35 trenches dug and fi lled in from 20 to 24 Avenues. Almost all have not been fi nished well.
Driving north along this major arterial route is like a trip on a roller-coaster be-cause of the low quality of the fi nal fi ll-in.
It’s a pity the city’s engi-neering department could not supervise this work before signing off on completion. Or are we seeing another abdication of responsibility by government to regulate the private sector, particularly its own sub-contractors?
If Surrey cannot supervise its own road work, is it too much to expect they will resurface this whole section when allthe work is complete?

INBOX6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday Januar y 20 2015
I will be voting no on the Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax referendum and encourage everyone to take the same position.
It is not because it is an unworthy cause. It is certainly worthy. Yet so are many other causes. Education, health care, policing, homelessness, poverty, child abuse and ag-ing infrastructure all come quickly to mind.
Is the concept of specifi c taxes for specifi c causes the direction we are going? Will the popularity or visibility of a cause determine its success? Will the general revenue fund be available for whimsy once the funding pres-sures are provided by specifi c tax measures?
We elect leaders with the expectation that they will lead. Th ey are to carefully consid-er the issues, make the diffi cult decisions, and stand by the reasoning behind those decisions. Th ey hire competent professionals to advise them on the issues. At least that is the way I thought the system was supposed to work.
Th is referendum I oppose based on the abdication of leadership and the direction of creating specifi c taxes for specifi c purposes.

SHEILA REYNOLDS
Th e family of a Surrey woman killed by a drunk driver nearly four years ago is struggling with the fact the driver was freed from jail Th ursday after serving two years of her three-year sentence.
Natasha War-ren, driving while intoxicat-ed, slammed into Kassandra Kaulius’ car in May 2011 and fl ed into some nearby bushes before being arrested.
Kaulius, 22, was killed instantly.
Warren pleaded guilty to impaired driving caus-ing death and failure to stop at an accident and was sentenced in December 2012 to three years prison, followed by a fi ve-year driving ban.
She has now received her statutory release – automatically granted
to off enders not serving life sentences after they’ve served two-thirds of their time.
Victor Kaulius, Kassandra’s father, says Warren’s freedom marks yet another diffi cult and emotional day for his family.
“A lot of things are brought back,” he says. “Our main focus is the two-year sentence… it’s laughable. How does this deter anyone?”
Warren drank a bottle and a half of wine before getting into her work van the night of the fatal collision. Kassandra was heading home from a softball game in Cloverdale and was wait-ing to make
a turn when her BMW was struck by Warren at high speed at the corner of 152 Street and 64 Avenue.
Th e Kaulius’ acknowl-edge the sentence hand-ed to Warren is more than most impaired drivers who kill some-one in Canada receive, but they still have a hard time knowing she’ll
move on with her life, while Kassandra will not, and the family is sentenced to a future without her.
Victor Kaulius says he and his wife Markita continue to push for changes to Canada’s laws. Th ey want to see a minimum fi ve-year sen-tence for off enders who kill someone while driv-ing impaired, as well as language amendments so the crime is called
vehicular homicide/manslaughter (instead of impaired driving causing death.)

U.S. retailer Target is abandoning its short-lived foray into Canada.
Th e company says it will close all 133 Canadian stores, including 19 in B.C. It employs 17,600 people in Canada and the closures could throw thousands out of work in this province.
Target chairman CEO Brian Cornell said there was no realistic scenario for the money-losing Canadian arm to reach profi tability until at least 2021.
It was granted protection from its creditors in Ontario Supreme Court Th ursday.
“We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps proved too diffi cult to overcome,” Cornell said. “Personally, this was a very diffi cult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.”
Th e Minneapolis-based retailer has B.C. locations in Surrey, North Delta, Campbell River, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Victoria, Saanich, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Cranbrook and Prince George.
Target stores will remain open during a court-supervised liquidation.
Target is placing $70 million in an employee trust to ensure a minimum 16 weeks compensation, including wage and benefi t coverage for workers not needed for the full wind-down period.
Th e decision came after an unsuc-cessful holiday season, Cornell said, despite best eff orts by Target Canada to win over shoppers.
Th e American retail giant launched its Canadian expansion in 2013, buying up former Zellers locations and arranging grocery stock through Sobey’s.
SFU business and marketing pro-fessor Lindsay Meredith said Target’s invasion of Canada was misguided.
It launched with too many stores at once, he said, and it immediately turned off Canadians savvy to lower U.S. pricing when it instead charged prices in line with Canadian retailers.
“Th at was exactly what Canadians did not want to hear,” Meredith said.
When stores opened they were miss-ing some of the U.S. brands in home decor and fashion shoppers wanted, he added.
Further blows that entrenched the retailer as a “screw-up” in Canadian minds included a massive data breach at the U.S. parent and recurring prob-lems with empty store shelves, he said.
“Empty shelves is a retailer’s kiss of death,” Meredith said.
Th e latest challenge for Target has been the dive in the loonie to 84 cents U.S., which has left the company bridging a growing gap between what it pays for stock in the U.S. and what it sells it for in Canada.
But Meredith said he was surprised Target opted for a complete Canadian pull-out, coupled with creditor protec-tion, rather than what he calls a “hedge hog defence” of retrenching to a small number of more profi table stores in key markets.

Just before Jessica Dyck’s Nana Clara died of cancer, she told her granddaughter that any boyfriend of Jessica’s who stayed with her throughout Jessica’s own battle with cancer was a keeper.
Two weeks after her grandmother died, Jessica was given the all-clear.
Still with her was Jeremy Larsen, who began to date her the year before she was diagnosed.
He stayed with her throughout 2013, the toughest year of her life.
“I thought I had my obstacles fi gured out until I was diagnosed with cancer,” recalls the 30-year-old Guildford woman. “Th e truth is everyone has their own battles to face.”
One of hers was cerebral palsy, coinciding with being born two months premature alongside a healthy twin brother.
She did well in school, and for several years was an ambassador for Th e Variety Club and
Surrey’s Centre for Child Development.
Dyck was also part of several promotional posters with then-TV weatherman Norm Grohmann for BC Bowls for Kids.
By her mid-20s, she was a full-time insur-ance broker at Guildford Town Centre.
Physical challenges did not stop her academical-ly or socially, but Dyck
always had to deal her physical limitations – she walks with two canes – and went for annual regular medical check-ups.
One in particular, in February 2013, saved her life.
During a gynecological exam just 10 months after her previous check-up, she was diagnosed with cervical dysplasia, a pre-can-cerous growth on her cervix.
An initial procedure was unsuccessful, and within months, Dyck had advanced invasive cervical cancer.
“I felt like I was punched in the stomach” upon diagnosis, she says.
Th e chemo and external radiation at the BC Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Cancer Centre in Surrey weren’t so bad. She never lost her hair.
It was the six rounds of internal radiation at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Centre that were the most taxing.
She describes being forced to stay still for eight hours in a painful position – and
strapped down due to her body’s natural spasms.
Fevers and stress throughout the year were almost overwhelming, but Dyck has nothing but good things to say about her family, friends and medical team, including Dr. Frances Wong, who is the chief physi-cian and oncologist at the BC Cancer Agen-cy’s Abbotsford and Fraser Valley Cancer centres.
“I wasn’t just a number to her. She was so caring with all of her patients.”
All the while, Larsen, now 26, stuck by her, driving back and forth from his home in Maple Ridge.
Her boyfriend – she calls him “Jer” – even organized a pub night fundraiser with her sister Candice Paradon and Dyck’s best friend Shawna Ferguson.
She put it out there: “Th ank you to every-one in my life who chose to love me, even on my very worst of days.”
She includes her co-workers, who recent-ly surprised her with an adult-sized tricycle.
For now, Dyck is focusing on improving her immune system (radiation and chemo-therapy have serious side eff ects), working and continuing her relationship with her boyfriend.
Keeping connected is important. Th e two have a weekly date night.
And Dyck has a spe-cial date coming up:
“I will be one year cancer-free on January 21, 2015.”
Jessica Ann Dyck looks at life, her grandma and her boyfriend differently after overcoming cancer while living with cerebral palsy. BOAZ JOSEPH Below, Dyck’s boyfriend Jeremy Larsen supported her in hospital during treatment. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Surrey fi lm misses making the Oscar cut
SHEILA REYNOLDS
A made-in-Surrey Punjabi-language movie has missed making the cut for an Academy Award.
Work Weather Wife, written by Harpreet
Sandhu, who also directed, co-starred and co-produced alongside Reema Nagra, was the only Canadian fi lm shortlisted in the best song category at the Oscars.
In fact, two song from the movie – Long Braid and Moon, both composed by Sandhu – were among 79 songs vying for a nomination.
However, on Th ursday, when the fi nalists were announced, Work Weather Wife wasn’t on the list. Th e omission wasn’t a big surprise for Sandhu, who was happy to have been on the shortlist beside an array of big-budget
Hollywood fl icks.“Th is is an independent fi lm and we made
it this far without money, and that’s huge for us,” he said.
Finalists named in the Best Original Song category included “Everything is Awesome” from Th e Lego Movie, “Glory” from Selma, “Grateful” from Beyond the Lights, “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from Glen Campbell…I’ll Be Me, and “Lost Stars” from Begin Again.
Th e Oscar buzz Work Weather Wife received may help bring it to more screens.
About a couple who must deal with issues of infi delity and honour killing after they let a con-man into their home, it already screened in Canada and the U.S. But Sandhu says he’s considering returning it to theatres here now that people know about it, as well as getting it into theatres abroad.
His next project, he says, is about a boy who’s forced to kill his gangster step-dad, who killed his birth father. Th e working title for that fi lm is I Love My Dad, But I Killed My Dad.

Th e Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity (KPU) Eagles have moved into a playoff position in the PACWEST (Pacifi c Western Conference) women’s basket-
ball standings after posting their second victory of the season Saturday night.
Playing at the Surrey campus of KPU, the Eagles outlasted the Capilano Blues 62-59. Kwantlen is now 2-8 (won-lost) on the season, tied with the Langara Falcons for sixth place. Capilano is fi fth at 5-5.
“We defended much better tonight, our
off ensive rebounds improved in the second half, and our team chemistry has gotten better,” said Eagles head coach Dan Nayebzadeh. “I think the biggest thing for us is to remember to play as a team.”
Fleetwood Park Sec-ondary graduate Shil-pa Khanna paced the Eagles with 19 points, going six-for-seven at the free throw line.
Amber-Lee Kavanagh, returning from injury, added 12 points. Sam McPhail, just missed a double double, scoring nine points and add-ing 10 rebounds.
Th e Eagles led 17-16 after one quarter and stretched it to 28-19 midway through the second for the largest lead of the game. Cap-ilano rallied to cut the diff erence to 32-28 at half time, and then take a 44-43 lead into the fi nal 10 minutes of play.
On Friday night, the Eagles dropped a 78-55 decision at home to the undefeated Quest Kermodes. Quest led 24-16 after 10 minutes and 35-28 at halftime. Th e Kermod-es outscored Kwantlen 20-7 in the third pe-riod to put the game well out of reach.
Khanna with 18 points, Christina Brown with 12 and McPhail with 10 were the leading scorers for the Eagles.
“We were almost there. We could al-most see it, but there was something miss-ing,” said Nayebzadeh, “We struggled defen-sively and allowed a point a possession. We just couldn’t guard their off ensive pene-tration.”
Kwantlen will play twice more at home next weekend, hosting Langara Friday night then tipping off against the 6-4 Doug-las College Royals Saturday. Start time for both games is at 6 p.m.

Th e small school from South Surrey almost climbed to the top of senior boys high school basketball in this city.
But in the champion-ship game of the Surrey RCMP Classic, the Southridge Storm fell 73-65 to the defending champion Tamanawis Wildcats before 450 fans Saturday night at Enver Creek Secondary.
“It was tough, I think we had opportunities to pull it out,” said South-ridge head coach Steve Anderson. “But in the end, Tamanawis did a good job and hit buckets when they needed to.”
Th e runner-up fi nish was the best-ever by the Storm, currently ranked number-one in a pro-vincial poll of Senior 2A teams. Th e best previous result by Southridge was a third-place fi nish in 2009, one of just three top fi ve-placings in the 24 year history of the tournament
Tamanawis is two tiers higher, listed as an honorable mention in the 4A category, but was given a very tough test Saturday night.
“It was a tough game,” said Wildcats coach Doug MacKenzie. “Th ey’re a very disci-plined team, they just run their set and they don’t make mistakes.
Our guys really had to compose themselves to get some big stops and run our off ense.”
Th e championship game was deadlocked 35-35 at half time, and although the Storm took a brief fi ve-point lead early in the second half, the Wildcats surged to a 58-50 advantage with seven minutes to go.
Th e momentum swung in favour of Southridge for the next fi ve minutes, starting when Dominic Clayton hit a trey and Hunter Hughes followed up sec-onds later with an easy layup after a steal. Sam Chan of the Storm then went to the line, was
successful on his fi rst attempt, then missed the second. But Hughes out jumped everyone to put back the rebound and pull Southridge into
a 58-58 tie.Hughes added another
fi eld goal with just under two minutes to play for a 61-60 Storm lead, but it was all Wild-
cats over the fi nal 100 seconds. Grade 9 point guard Miguel Tomley hit a three-point shot from the top of the arc to put Tamanawis in the lead at 63-61, and the Wildcats went six-of-10 from the free-throw line in the fi nal minute to stay in front.
Despite the loss, Hughes was recognized for his huge game in the fi nal, earning the tour-nament Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. Th e six-foot-seven Grade 11 forward scored 32 points, dominated the boards with 23 rebounds, and was a force defensively with fi ve blocks.
“He’s a fabulous play-er,” said Anderson. “He can fi nish it under the basket, grab a rebound. I tell you, we basically rode his back down the stretch and he helped us get to this position. It was wonderful that they acknowledged his play although we didn’t win the tournament.”
Hughes became the fi fth player from a team which lost in the cham-pionship game to win the MVP award. Ravi Athwal of the Enver Creek Cougars was the
most recent MVP from the losing team, win-ning the honor in 2006.
Tomley, the Player of the Game for the Wildcats, was another impressive young player in the tournament. Th e Grade 9 point guard netted 17 points, and was a go-to player in the fi nal minutes.
“We’re very confi dent in what he can do,” said MacKenzie. “He’s a very skilled player and a very confi dent player.”
Gary Sahota was the top scorer for the Wildcats with 18 points, with Sagar Dulay adding 16 and Harnoor Sangha

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
7 OBITUARIES
MOTT, Ian George
Nov. 29, 1934 – Jan. 2, 2015
Ian passed away with his fami-ly by his side in Mountain View Manor at Delta Hospital at the age of 80. Predeceased by his sister Patricia and nephew Doug, he is survived by “Old Dutch” Edith, brothers Victor (Betty), Dick and sister Yvonne (Peter); his children Ingrid, Howard (Belle), Bruce (Kelly), Maria, Lisa and Pieter; his 7 grandchildren Eric, Jenine, Duncan, Nicole, Lucas, Marina and Jordan, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Ian was born in Reading, England and immi-grated to Victoria, BC in 1957. Shortly after his arrival, Ian founded United Used Auto & Truck Parts with his brother Dick. The company grew rap-idly under Ian’s leadership and he soon expanded to Surrey. For over 40 years in business, Ian was well respected in the industry as a passionate, inde-pendent and highly competi-tive businessman, and was an avid supporter of his local and national trade associations. Ian always said his greatest asset were the people who worked for him, and he was proud of the fact that he could make money by saving people money. Ian will be deeply missed and well remembered by those who knew him. Our family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to all the staff at Mountain View Manor who patiently and compassionately cared for him. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, January 25, 2015 at 2:00 pm at the Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 – 72nd. Ave, Surrey, BC. In lieu of fl owers, a dona-tion to your local food bank or a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Online condo-lences can be expressed at www.valleyviewsurrey.ca.
