Police are continuing to investigate the mayhem that occurred on Surrey

roads last weekend as three serious accidents resulted in one fatality.On Saturday, at about 1:45 p.m., a

17-year-old woman driving a Honda Accord westbound on 108 Avenue turned left onto 146 Street and was struck by a Honda CRV.Th e male passenger of the Accord

was in full cardiac arrest and was

trapped inside the vehicle. He died in hospital.Th e woman and driver of the other

vehicle were not seriously harmed.Police are also investigating the hit-

and-run of a 69-year-old woman that caused severe lower body injuries.

RICK KUPCHUK

No matter who wins Sundays Grey Cup game in Vancouver, history will be made at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.A pair of graduates from the Cloverdale

school are playing in the game at BC Place, meaning either Adam Berger of the Calgary Stampeders or Kyle Miller of the Hamilton

Tiger-Cats will earn Grey Cup rings, which would be a fi rst for the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers football program.You could see it coming, and when it

happened, I was pretty excited, said Kurt Th ornton, head coach of the Panthers since the program began roughly a decade ago. Now its guaranteed. A Panther is going to have his name on the Grey Cup.

Berger and Miller were teammates with the Panthers, each playing their fi nal season in the fall of 2007 when the team was ranked number one in B.C. for much of the season before losing in the semifi nal round of the playoff s. Along with Matt McGarva, currently with the B.C. Lions, the trio graduated in the spring of 2008 and eventually turned profes-sional in the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Berger and Miller likely wont be facing each other on the fi eld, as each is listed as a back-up at the defensive back position. But they will be on opposite sides of the fi eld, as opposed to sharing the same sideline as they have done at the community, high school and university levels.

Th e City of Surreys held its annual Tree Lighting Festival last weekend, which featured the annual lighting of the Christmas tree, family fun and live music.

Th e festive tree is located at the new Central City Plaza (13450 104 Ave.).

Residents are also getting in the Christmas spirit by decorat-ing their homes for the holidays. Here are a few to check out:

Cloverdales Karen Wagner and her family have their home decked out for the season and are collecting donations for the Canadian Cancer Societys Relay For Life. Th e lights will be offi cially switched on Dec. 1 the day Wagner lost her dad to cancer more than 35 years ago and will stay lit from 6-10 p.m. through Dec. 31 at 19056 63B Ave. Hot chocolate, coff ee and candy canes will be available Friday to Sunday.

Wish Upon A Star display, featuring 28,000 lights at 19368 62A Ave., has Santa and his sleigh, an interactive musical snowman, light display and photo ops with Rudolph, Bumble and friends. Donations accepted for B.C. Childrens Hospital.

Th e Bonneteau family has its second-annual Winter Won-derland display set up this year, raising money for Variety - Th e Childrens Charity. Th e home, with dancing, musical lights, singing Santa and a large nativity scene, is at 16951 Jersey Dr. and lights are on from 5-11 p.m. daily until Jan. 2.

Th ey played together for several seasons at Lord Tweedsmuir as well as with Cloverdale Community Football. And they ended up under the same roof during high school and university.Kyles parents moved

when he was in Grade 11, so the Bergers took him in, said Th ornton. He and Adam are close, like brothers. Th ey were roommates at SFU.Berger was a quarter-

back with the Panthers, and Miller was his top receiver. But both went their separate ways after their Grade 12 season, with Berger joining the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Clan and Miller suiting up for Western Washington University Vikings in Bellingham.I think Kyle was un-

der-recruited, he should have been recruited better, Th ornton said. Everyone wanted

Adam, and SFU got him when they were still in the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sports).But Kyle wanted

the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic As-sociation), and he was a walk-on at Western Washington. But that program folded the year after he got there, so he went to SFU to join Adam.Berger again had the

easier route to the pros. He was selected by the Stampeders 30th overall in the fourth round of the 2012 CFL Canadian draft and was signed in January of 2013. Berger had six solo tackles and nine special teams tackles, appearing in all 19 Stampeders games this season. His most productive game was a July 18 contest at home against the Tiger-Cats, when he was credited with three tackles, one of which was on special teams.Miller was not drafted

but signed by the B.C. Lions in June of 2013, then was released mid-season. Th e Tiger-Cats signed him this past January, and he has dressed for all 18 regu-lar season games as well as the Eastern Final, a 40-24 victory over the Montreal Alouettes.Kyle is very resource-

ful, he always fi nds a way to get to where he wants to be, said Th ornton. Once he was signed by Hamilton, he worked his way onto their roster.Both players, along

with McGarva who is a current assistant coach at the school

keep in touch with their high school coach. Th ornton follows their careers and those of other former Panthers very closely. Absolutely, I follow

all the guys when they move on to college or university, he said. I texted each of them (Berger and Miller) after their games last week, and they texted back pretty quickly. I think Kyle was still in the dressing room when he texted.Th ere may be a Lord

Tweedsmuir graduate

with his name on the Grey Cup, but no one who has played football there has ever played in the CFL championship game.

Th eres some alum-ni who have played community football and may have gone on to win the Grey Cup. Th is school has been around for a while, said Th ornton.But the football

program hasnt. No one from Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers football has played in a Grey Cup (before).Berger and Miller

couldnt be reached for comment.Th e game gets un-

derway at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Earlier this month, the United Nations launched a Campaign to End Stateless-ness. Statelessness prevents an individ-ual from having a nationality or citizen-ship in any country.

Th is crisis currently aff ects 10 million people around the world. Despite the existence of the UN Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons (1954) and the UN Convention on the Reduc-tion of Statelessness (1961), this problem still affl icts millions.

Th e situation aff ects people of all ages, including children and the elderly, and ultimately prevents them from accessing vital services in their day-to-day lives.

For instance, they face diffi culty in regards to accessing education and health care, getting married, or obtaining jobs and fi nancial services, simply because

they have been denied the basic right of citizenship.

Th ey can also suff er from disparity in wages and poverty and fall victim to human traffi cking. Th ey face the prospect of not being able to participate in government or the democratic process because they lack the ability to vote or become candidates. Children can be born without a nationality if they are born to a stateless parent or if they are not able to produce their documents after being forced to leave their country in a confl ict, as is the case for refugees who left Syria.

Stateless individuals face constant obstacles. Because of their lack of citizenship, children are ostracized, may be unable to receive an education, and as they grow up, can have diffi culty getting a job, which further prevents them from

achieving their goals and aspirations. Discrimination, confl ict, and fl awed

laws are largely to blame. Women in 27 countries do not have the right to pass on their nationality to their children.

And discrimination can take place against people of a certain race or background, which prevents them from possessing a nationality.

Individuals who are stateless face practical, emotional and psychological hardships. Stateless people can also be put in prison, simply for not having a nationality.

What is important to note in this global problem is that it can be solved. In fact, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Kyr-gyzstan, and Cote dIvoire have taken

initiatives to help end cases of state-lessness in their countries by making changes to laws related to citizenship or through governmental steps.

Th e 10-year campaign initiated by the UN is meant to urge governments to bring positive changes and prevent and rectify statelessness.

Lets all support the eff orts of the UN and ensure human rights by signing its open letter urging governments to bring change: http://bit.ly/1o8HTak.

No person deserves to live a life where a lack of nationality equals lifelong problems of poverty and rights viola-tions.

Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, who is also the minister of advanced education, simply cant shake his pursuers.

Opposition critics have dogged him for months over his actions while a member of the Kwantlen Polytechnic University board of directors. Th ose actions centred around extra payments to try and entice top people to come to work for the university, includ-ing current president Alan Davis.

Word is now coming out that Virk was directly involved in the discussions by the Kwantlen board in 2011 as to how to get around the provincial salary guidelines. An email exchange involving Virk was revealed by the NDP on Monday.

He and other members of the board were trying to get around guidelines set by the province, to try and keep salary spending at post-secondary institutions in check.

An earlier internal inves-tigation by assistant deputy minister Rob Mingay deter-mined board members were not involved in decisions to pay executives more than provincial rules allowed. Th e email seems to contradict that fi nding. Virk said he had forgotten about the email. Finance Minister Mike de Jong has now asked Mingay to reopen the investigation.

Given the fact that Virk is now the minister in charge of ad-

vanced education, and ultimate-ly the enforcer of salary guide-lines, his hold on his portfolio is shaky at best.

Virk was a longtime member of the RCMP before getting elected in 2013. He is a rookie politician. He was very active in the community, serving on the boards of Surrey Memorial Hos-pital Foundation and Kwantlen.

He has a long track record as a contributing member of the community, but his actions while serving in a volunteer capacity as a director are a real problem, given the position he now holds. In politics, its more often the perception that counts, rather than the actual facts.

Kwantlens position in the overall university hierarchy is a part of this story. It is not at the level of B.C.s fi rst rank universities, University of B.C., Simon Fraser or University of Victoria. Its emphasis on trades and technical training make it unique, but it also off ers many courses and programs that com-pete with other post-secondary institutions.

It is in a competition with other institutions for students and faculty. Th ere has been a fair bit of turnover (and some staff turmoil, which is the subject of a lawsuit) in the presidents

offi ce in the past 10 years. Th ere have been other controversies, notably involving the student society.

Th e guidelines set by the prov-ince only put the university in an even more challenging position. It was having a tough time recruiting senior administrators and faculty members when the guidelines meant that the people they were considering would have to take pay cuts to come to Kwantlen.

Perhaps what the whole situ-ation illustrates is the folly of im-posing guidelines on a provincial basis. Th ere is little fl exibility off ered to a specifi c institution. A better approach could be to set overall budget caps.

Alternatively, the province could backtrack on former pre-mier Gordon Campbells com-mitment to turn most commu-nity colleges into universities, but it will be very hard to get that horse back into the barn.

Given that the provincial government is in part at fault for how this whole scenario unfold-ed, the best option for Premier Christy Clark, who is the ulti-mate decider, would be to move Virk to another portfolio. He still has a lot to off er to cabinet.

Surreys Harbans Pandher has been charged with the second-degree murder of his wife, 64-year-old Jaswant Pandher, after she was found dead in

her Newton home.On Sunday (Nov. 23)

at about 1 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a home in the 6900-block of 152 Street.

Jaswant Pandher was found dead, with police

later characterizing her injuries as consistent with foul play.

Her husband, also in his 60s, was arrested and charged with sec-ond-degree murder.

We dont believe there

is a history of domestic violence at this home, said Integrated Homi-cide Investigation Team Staff Sgt. Jennier Pound.

Pandher is scheduled to appear in Surrey Pro-vincial court on Dec. 3.

BOAZ JOSEPH

Stephanie Henderson spent years as a single woman trying to navi-gate the dating scene.

For the most part, traditional face-to-face interaction had already morphed into face-to-screen time.

I have Tinder-swiped, I have blind-dated, I have Events & Adventured and e-Harmonied, says the Surrey dance teacher. I mean, theoretically, a bigger pond equals more fi sh, right?

It certainly meant more texting, superfi -

cial online profi les, occasional profanity, and the realization that the promised ease of con-necting with people actu-ally made it harder to do so properly.

(Th e screen) was putting more distance between me and the people I was looking to have a rela-tionship with, Hender-son says.

Pondering the experi-ence, with its potential for missed connections and opportunities, Hen-derson took the idea and went speed dating with it on stage.

She created the ensemble play Listen To Me, a presen-tation of Resounding Scream Th eatre, which she co-found-ed with fellow SFU Contempo-rary Arts Program

grad Catherine Ballachey in 2008.

Henderson describes Listen to Me as an opportunity to stop hiding behind the digital persona and allow for possibility.

I wanted to address how unnatural and inauthentic it is to build relationships in this

way and take us back to sharing air space instead of screen time.

In a unique theatrical step, she will take the audience (a maximum of 10 people per show) on an interactive, semi-scripted speed-dat-ing event called A Social Network.

Th e actors and their characters will, within the short time allowed, reveal themselves, their desires and vulnerabil-ities, and will interact with audience members in as natural a way as possible.

Our goal as a company at Resounding Scream Th eatre is to engage audiences and inspire conversations, Hender-son explains.

Th at means challeng-ing the audience to par-ticipate to be involved as the signifi cant other of the actor across from them.

Th eyll be invited to share private parts of their own lives, but only once with each actor, since a bell will ring to send them to the next actor before long.

Each actor will have 10 roles (or relationship phases) per night making for diff erent experiences for repeat audience members.

Eight women and three men were cast for Listen To Me. Ten are date actors and one will host the dating event within the play. Th ere will be scripted words, structured improvisation and genuine moments throughout the show, Henderson promises.

Visitors should also expect surprises and broken expectations. A conversation can begin with date-like small talk, but could (and will) sud-denly turn on its head, submersed in an existing relationship. How much an audience member divulges is up to them.

Henderson admits a play like this is not a potential money-maker, but says its the kind of thing she and her cohorts went to school for and love to do.

We dont put up art that we dont believe in. If it ends up losing mon-ey, at least we know we put our hearts into it.

And speaking of heart, she met her current boyfriend at a party, not online.

Listen To Me, runs Dec. 2-6 at 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at Granville Islands Agro Caf, 1363 Railspur Alley. Th e limit is 10 audience mem-bers per show. Tickets are $20 at listentome.brownpapertickets.com or at the door.

Aluminum (or aluminium) is a chemical elementa metalwith the symbol AL and atomic number 13. It is the third most abundant element and the most abundant metal in the Earths crust. Of the Earths solid surface, 8% by weight is aluminum but its chemical reactivity tends to combine it with over 270 diff erent minerals.

Th e smelting of the ore, bauxite is one of the most common methods of producing primary aluminum. Canada is the third largest aluminum producer in the world after Russia and Chinasecond and fi rstby a wide marginrespectively.

Recently, the automobile media focus has been all about aluminum because of the landmark moment that occurred on November 11th at the Ford Rouge Center in Dearborn, Michigan when assembly workers gathered to celebrate the launch of the all-new 2015 F-150 truck.

Aluminum is the all-new feature of this historically successful iconic pickup truck. Now, with a reported 700 pound reduction in weight, Ford claims this all new body for the best-selling truck in the USA for the last 37 years will be more durable than steel and as Ford tough as it has always been. Although an exact measure of the expected gain in fuel effi ciency is still unknown, predictions are for at least a 20% improvement.

Th ere are other unknowns. Aaron Bragman, Detroit bureau chief for Cars.com summarizes these as follows: How the truck is used by customers, how the truck is recycled at the end

of its life, how its repaired, how its insured, will it cost more to actually have it repaired? ...Th eres still a lot of questions that we havent quite gotten the answers to, that were not going to know until the truck really starts to get in consumers hands.

Making motor vehicles out of aluminum is not a new development. Land Rover started production in 1948 with an aluminum bodied four wheel drive vehicle. Ducker Worldwide, a global business-to-business market research fi rm summarizes the more recent use of aluminum in light vehicles as follows: in parts, doors, and closures[aluminum usage] in light vehicles has risen from an average of about 45 kilograms a vehicle in 1977 to 159 kg in 2013 [and will] rise to 179 kg in 2015 or about three billion in total. Ducker is predicting an explosive period of growth and a rise in aluminum usage in light vehicles over the next decade of another 40%.

Why now? Th e answer is a twofold mix of regulatory mandate and technological innovation. A new US government regulation requires all auto manufacturers to produce fl eets with an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Th ere is no doubt: a wholly aluminum body for the best selling pickup truck (and most profi table Ford product) will be more fuel effi cient.

What has made this possible is innovation in the world of aluminum bonding technology, an aluminum pretreatment process that its inventor, Alcoa, the worlds third largest producer of aluminum says results in enhanced adhesive bonding durability and overcomes previous challenges with joining aluminum to itself or other materials.

We can expect that the occupant crash protection provided by aluminum bodies will, with innovative engineering, surpass that of steel bodied vehicles. And aluminum does not rust.

FRASER VALLEY GILBERT & SULLIVAN SHOW STARTS THE SEASON

ALEX BROWNE

Th eyve already brought us Th e Phan-tom of the Panto. So why not Santa Claus: Th e Panto?

Producers LynVerra-Lay and Mike Balser of the Fras-er Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society freely agree the group has positioned itself on the edgier, more experi-mental end of the local Christmas pantomime spectrum.

Th ats certainly true of the world premiere of Santa Claus, which will kick off the Christ-mas panto season Nov. 26 to Dec. 7 at Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 - 88 Ave.

Audiences can rest assured that the FVGSS shows are seldom so anti-tradi-tional that they neglect such time-honoured, enjoyable panto schtick as a Dame, a principal boy-girl and girl-girl, familiar songs, nefar-ious villainy and tons of goofy groaners and topical political gags.

But one can defi nite-ly expect some unusual and novel twists in

Santa Claus, an orig-inal by panto veteran Adrian Duncan, plus the father-daugh-ter team of Jeff and Hannah Christensen and long-time pan-to-meister Balser, society president, who also co-authored and directed last years Th e Frog Princess.

Like most stories, it starts with a what if? supplied, in this case, by Duncan. Sup-pose Santa Claus has decided hes more than due for a makeover? Suppose a new diet, intensive yoga and a cool-dude attitude has transformed him into something far from the Santa of old?

As embodied by lead player Luke George Branson, this streamlined Santa is very diff erent from the expected image, Balser and Verra-Lay

PRODUCTION RUNS AT THE SURREY ARTS CENTRE UNTIL DEC. 7from page 13

acknowledge.Luke is 28, about fi ve- foot-eight and maybe

140 pounds soaking wet, said Balser.Th eres stakes-raising character confl ict in Mrs.

Claus (panto dame Croy Jenkins) reaction to Santas makeover, he said.

Santa wants to change and Mrs. Claus doesnt like it at all. Its change versus no change.

Both he and Verra-Lay quip that the panto is still a work in progress.

We decided a year ago we would co-produce, and were almost fi nished, laughed Verra-Lay, who noted with Balser that, even with instinct and experience in play, a new panto has to reach the workshop/rehearsal phase to truly discover where the telling moments and, ultimately, the laughs are.

Fortunately the show has a solid and reliable creative framework in place, including skilled per-former-director Dann Wilhelm as artistic director, musical director Tim Tucker, choreographer Carol Seitz and assistant choreographer Elizabeth Lay.

Other agreeably reliable elements are supplied by dithery senior elf Bobo (Clive Ramroop), prog-ress-oriented principal boy Kristopher (Breanna Branson), principal girl Kristabel (Samantha Andrews) and Fairy Wintergreen (Kate Naylor).

Chief villain is crafty coal salesman Carbone Bootmark (Chris Hall), intent on boosting Santas coal bill by turning nice kids naughty, aided and abetted by his sidekick Teazel the Weasel (Jen Tiles). Th eres also a panto animal Rudolph the Reindeer portrayed by Rebecca Teskey and Fraser McKay and the Christensens real-life canine companion Max portrays Olive Th e Other Reindeer.

Balser said working with the writing collabora-tors has actually proceeded very smoothly.

Duncan, coming from traditional panto experi-ence, is a past-master in inventing ingratiatingly funny names for the characters, he said.

Hannah whos only 16 is the one who keeps the plot logical, while Jeff is the guy who, while were talking about how to resolve one charac-ters arc, says lets put in a Christy Clark joke. With him youre either saying thats brilliant! or yeahno.

Hannah who has performed in several of the recent pantomimes with her notably droll magician/comedian dad said Duncan suggested she join the writing team after he heard she wrote and published a childrens book, Sock Wars, when she was only 11 (dedicated to the memory of her late little brother, Jonah, which sold thousands of copies for the Raise-A-Reader charity). She has been enjoying her behind-the-scenes work in Santa Claus as much as her role as the elf Elvira, she said.

Its been wonderful seeing ideas that were only taking place in someones mind taking form on stage, she said. Its really cool, the dynamic of seeing everything coming together.

Jeff Christiansen was awarded the gold medal by the Pacifi c Coast Association of Magicians earlier this year for his new mentalist (mind-read-ing) act.

Hes actually playing a magician Presto in Santa Claus, he said, adding that as much as he enjoys using his FVGSS experience in his own act, he also likes using his training to enrich the magi-cal aspects of the pantos Fairy Tale ethos.

Th at includes adding an audience-interactive mentalism element to this years show, he said.

It just fi t in so nicely of course Santa would know whos been naughty and whos been nice!

Th at time of year is upon us; when temperatures drop, the snow falls and presents are bought to put beneath the Christmas tree. For many however, now begins the time of worry how will I keep my family warm this winter? Or, how I can I make the holidays special for my children? For 19 years, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association (GVHBA) in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been helping families in need answer those questions and feel the warmth of not only a coat, but the love of the community. Th e Coats for Kids campaign allows GVHBA members to volunteer the use of their store front locations so that their employees and the public can donate gently used winter coats and mittens for kids and teenagers. 45 member companies at 61 locations in 13 municipalities will serve as coat drop-off sites from November 24 to December 4.CEO with GVHBA, Bob de Wit says that the number of donations has soared off the charts from several dozen in the early years to

several thousand last year. Its amazing to see the impact - families literally are transformed, not just by the warm apparel but by the spirit of giving that these donations embody, he says. Th e fi rst time I visited the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureaus warehouse, I thought I had stumbled into Santas workshop! Th e scale of the eff ort and the buzz of energy there really hit it home for me about the deep need were fi lling in the Metro Vancouver region.He recalls a year when a young family had just moved to Canada from a tropical country. Th ey were severely unprepared for their fi rst Canadian winter, armed with only light jackets for the plummeting temperatures. GVHBA asked if TQ Construction could somehow assist this family, to which TQs president and owner, Helene Belisle, immediately accepted. Warm

winter jackets were quickly supplied for the whole family, and TQs Offi ce Manager, Kim Boer, even added a scarf and gloves set for the mother a little extra gift from one mother to another.

By the end of the day, the young family was bundled up in their new jackets, says de Wit. Th ey were able to feel the generosity from their

community and ready for their fi rst winter in their new home

country.Parents are oft en looking aft er their children to make

sure they properly dressed for the cold, but when it comes to teens, they

are frequently more diffi cult to clothe. Th is years theme is Zippers Zipping Buttons Buttoning and Hoodies for Teens, and focuses on a demographic who are just as

interested in how they look as how warm they feel. Th e solution? Donate an item that is perfectly comfortable without compromising style the almighty Hoodie. And buttons buttoning and zippers zipping, that is just our way to make sure what is passed on is gently used, says de Wit, because no one wants get a great coat that doesnt zip up.Th is year the GVHBA isnt just collecting coats; they are also looking for other quality clothing, blankets, mittens, hats and new toys. With Christmas right around the corner, de Wit says that new toys are especially welcome. Th is winter season, take the opportunity to pass along those coats your kids have outgrown, he says. It is a simple way to warm ones heart, and with all the GVHBA member drop-off locations, giving is eff ortless.For a full list of participating GVHBA locations and times visit: www.gvhba.org

GVHBA - keeping families warm this winter

Ledingham McAllister gives the gift of saving this seasonSometimes the best gift s are the ones

that cant fi t under the tree. From now until December 18, buy-

ers are able to save up to $10,000 off their new home purchase at any one of the Ledingham McAllister communi-ties.

Th ere will be a box available to draw from containing Christmas Crackers, that enclose a voucher revealing the

savings. When a new home purchase is fi nal-

ized, the savings will be applied against the balance owing for the homes purchasers.

Senior Vice President, Marketing and Design of Ledingham McAllister, Manuela Mirecki, says that this is a new promotion in reaction to the fact that in the last couple of years they experi-

enced a surprising number of people purchasing homes in the days leading up to the holidays.

Most communities for sale wind down their sales program at this time of year, so we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity for our future home owners.

Th ere are seven beautiful and diverse developments with the perfect

price-point to suit any lifestyle: Aviara, Dominion, Charland, Radius, Storybook, Saltaire, and Waterscapes. Th e developments locations span from Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Whiterock, Vancouver and Kelowna.

Th is is the time of year that people are oft en placing their focus on friends, family and loved ones in the comfort of their own homes; oft en people are want-ing to nest, to settle in to the coziness and security of their own home, says Mirecki. Given that Led-Mac has a number of move-in ready communities, we wanted to make it easier for people to make their decision to purchaser sooner than later so that they can celebrate the Holidays in their brand new home.

Zenterra Developments have captivated both the public and industry with their beautiful Zen townhomes located in East Clayton, and the next installment from Zenterra is no different. Coming to sunny South Surrey is Hyde Park, a master planned townhouse community located just minutes from Morgan Crossing.

Every year the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders Association celebrates excellence in homebuilding, design and marketing, with BCs most prestigious housing awards program, The Ovation Awards. This past April the townhomes at Zen were nominated in four separate categories, and went on to win the Best Multi-Family Home Builder of the Year.

Hyde Park is sure to deliver, and the homes offer unique and beautiful upgrades. Surrey is said to be the city of parks and Hyde Park boasts three acres of retained natural parkland to enjoy. At Hyde Park nature is your next-door neighbour.

The beauty and elegance of Hyde Park are evident as soon as one walks through the tiled entrance that leads the way into a large, warm living space. In some plans, the master bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor and some ensuites feature a custom designed make-up vanity and a stunning shower that boasts a sleek frameless door. It is the small details that make a house a home and these beautiful features do not stop here.

Every home features a custom designed entertainment wall equipped with convenient wire management systems, as well as a central vacuum system for your convenience. The kitchen shines with quartz countertops, and the luxurious slab quartz backsplash completes the scene and makes any clean up seem like a breeze. It is clear that Hyde Park offers high-end features within the home, but it has much to offer outside of it.

Hyde Park also boasts the Lancaster Club, a private clubhouse within your townhouse community. Our West Coast lifestyle means that we spend much of our time outdoors and Hyde Park has embraced this lifestyle by offering three acres of tranquil designed green space for your recreational needs. Large decks and patios give you abundant space to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. Or you may choose to take a stroll from your home down one of the many walkways to gardens, childrens playgrounds and nearby shopping areas.

Despite the feeling of tranquility that living in Hyde Park provides, the location could not be more convenient. A five minute walk will take you to the shops at Morgan Crossing, which boast many shops and dining options.

The first phase of Hyde Park has been released to the market with 3+ Flex Tandems starting in the low $400s. Also available are 2,3,4 and 5 bedroom units, some with master bedrooms on the main.

Opposition MLAs have renewed their call for Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk to be removed from cabinet, after releasing emails showing Virk took part in discussions about a hidden bonus for a university executive.

Virk was on the Kwan-tlen Polytechnic University board of governors in April 2011, when an off er was made to then-University of Regina dean of busi-ness Anne Lavack for the position of vice-president academic (VPA) for Kwantlen.

Emails released by the NDP Monday show Virk, then an inspec-tor with the Langley RCMP and a volunteer Kwantlen board member, participating in discussion to get around the B.C. salary guidelines for the job.

NDP leader John Horgan said Monday the emails were provided from a whistleblower at Kwantlen, who found printouts in a binder. Horgan said they contradict an in-

ternal investigation by an assistant deputy minister that determined board members were not involved in decisions to pay executives more than provincial rules allowed.

Th e Kwantlen VPA salary was capped at $170,000, less than what Lavack was making in Regina. Th e emails discuss adding $100,000 for

moving expenses and a $20,000 research allow-ance.

Virk said he had forgot-ten the email exchange, and it will be forwarded to Rob Mingay, the govern-ment offi cial who conduct-ed the investigation.

Th e governments Public Sector Employers Council (PSEC) set salary ranges for Levacks position at $125,000 to $175,000.

When Lavack was hired in 2011, she received the maximum salary, plus a $20,000-a-year research allow-ance and a $50,000 consulting fee before starting work that was not reported to PSEC.

Kwantlen president Alan Davis also received extra payments when he was hired earlier in 2011 that were not disclosed to PSEC. Davis received a $50,000 consulting fee in addition to his $225,000 salary and $35,000 to relocate from New York state.

What could have been a very produc-tive weekend on the road slipped away from the Valley West Hawks in Victoria last weekend.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League team blanked the South Island Royals 3-0 Saturday evening, but were handed a 4-1 defeat Sunday morning.

The Hawks are 10-6-2 (won-lost-tied) on the season, and in fourth place in the 11-team league.

We were pretty sluggish this week-end, said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. Im not sure if players are getting hit with a touch of the flu or if they were finding themselves dehydrated. But we didnt have the jump in our strides that we normally do.

Langleys James Malm scored a pair of goals, with Ben Evanish of White Rock adding a single. Nick Talarico of Sur-rey had the shutout. The Hawks led 2-0 and 3-0 at the period breaks.

Saturdays game was never in doubt, said Leung. I felt we controlled the game from start to finish, limiting the Royals to 20 shots.It was a physical but clean affair. However, you could sense the hate starting to build.

Trevor Ayre (Semi-ahmoo minor hockey) netted the only goal Sunday, tying the game 1-1 late in the second period. The Royals scored three times in the final frame for the win, getting the winning goal with 15 minutes to play and an insur-ance marker two min-utes later. An empty net goal with three seconds left complet-ed the scoring.

Sunday was a tough one. We never

seemed to find our stride and were ham-mered by penalties, Leung said. The Royals came to play on Sunday. They were a desperate team that outcompeted us.

Penalties will also cost the Hawks the services of a pair of players. Justin De Vos of Surrey will sit both game next weekend after receiv-

ing a fighting major. Cole MacEwen was assessed a check from behind penalty in the last 10 minutes of play, earning a one-game suspension.

The Hawks will close out the first half of the season with two games against the North Is-land Silvertips at the Langley Events Cen-tre. The first game is

Saturday at 5 p.m., followed by a rematch Sunday at 11 a.m.

We are in good shape heading into the final weekend of the first half of the season, said Leung. We have the oppor-tunity to finish the first half with a re-cord of 12-6-2 which would be 2 points off our 14-6-0 record last year.

Th e high school football season came

to an end Friday for the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers.

Th e Panthers lost a close 9-7 decision to the South Delta Sun Devils at Minoru Park in Richmond, and were eliminated from the

Senior AAA provincial playoff s in the quar-terfi nal round.

Th is was a tough loss as we played well enough to win, said Panthers head coach Kurt Th ornton. Our kids played tough in

tough conditions, but in the end we needed a big play or two on off ence that never seemed to happen.

South Delta led 9-0 at half-time, and Lord Tweedsmuir respond-ed with a seven-yard touchdown from from Caleb Abraham in the third quarter.

Abraham fi nished with 121 yards rush-ing on 21 carries, while Colton Zayshley had 101 yards on 13 carries. Both players led the defence with seven tackles, with Abraham adding a quarterback sack and Zayshley intercepting one pass.

Th e Panthers went 5-2 (won-loss) in league play, and opened the playoff s with a 35-20 win over the Belmont Bulldogs. Th ey were unable to play in the presea-son due to a teachers strike.

I am proud of the season our boys put together, Th ornton said. It was tough for our Grade 12s to go out in such a close, winnable game.
