Commuters fear ‘a traffi c hell’

EVAN SEAL / BLACK PRESSHeather Bannah and her son Bruce, 3, beneath the Alex Fraser bridge in Delta. Bannah expects long delays on the Alex Fraser once the Massey Bridge is built.

By Jeff NagelIf the Alex Fraser Bridge becomes

Metro Vancouver’s last free crossing of the Fraser River as bridge tolls proliferate, Highway 91 drivers fear they will face gridlock beyond comprehension.

And some of them won’t have a choice.

Cloverdale mom Heather Bannah works as a lab assistant on Anna-cis Island – beneath the bridge –and says there is no other route that she and hundreds of other Annacis workers could logically take.

So Bannah wasn’t happy to hear Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s announcement last month that the new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel will be tolled.

“I groaned,” she said. “We’re proba-bly looking at tripling the amount of time to get across that bridge.”

Bannah says Alex Fraser traffi c got much worse aft er the Port Mann Bridge was tolled.

And the heavier volumes aff ect local traffi c on Annacis, because a growing number of drivers coming from Richmond short cut around the main bridge line by taking the

long Annacis off -ramp, turning around on the island and then rejoining Highway 91.

She can’t imagine how much worse it will get if thousands of additional drivers who normally take Highway 99 and the Massey Tunnel instead switch to the Alex Fraser to avoid paying tolls.

“Everyone’s going to use it,” she said, adding many other workers on Annacis who live in Surrey and Langley are also worried.

“I think I will need to buy a boat,” added Surrey resident Chris McAr-dle, who also works on Annacis. “Annacis Island is going to truly be traffi c hell on Earth.”

TransLink expects to charge tolls

Members pose at New Hope Community Church.

A leap of faith pays off for churchBy Jennifer LangAft er worshipping in school gyms for more

than 20 years, a grateful and excited congre-gation started 2016 in a new church of its very own.

Th e New Hope Community Church at 18625 Fraser Highway in Clayton Heights is on a

prime spot of local real estate – 7.5 acres on a busy thoroughfare the community purchased in 1994 with a bold vision and plenty of faith.

A self-governing church that’s part of the Christian Reformed Church denomination, New Hope Community Church began 25 years ago as a small group of like-minded people who

wanted to create a new church.Th ey bought the land long before they could

actually aff ord to build the church itself, and have been holding worship services in school gymnasiums for the most part, most recently

New church built with community needs in mindLatimer Road Elemen-tary School, even as the church has grown to about 150 members.

“It was defi nitely a leap of faith,” said pastor Sid Vanderwoud. “Over 20 years ago when we sat down with the city, Clay-ton was just an idea.”

He recalled sitting down with city planning offi cials to explain their vision for a church in the area, “and they said, ‘Th at would be awesome, because we’ll have all this retail space and town-houses.’”

Th e fi rst church services were held Jan. 3. Th e new digs will take some getting used to, an adjustment members are looking forward to.

“Our identity as a church is around being in a gym,” said Vander-woud, who was able to tell the congregation – aft er the fi rst Sunday service – that they could wait to put the chairs away – or not. He’s also tickled to have his own offi ce – away from home – aft er all these years.

“Now it’s in the church,” he said. “It’s a dream come true aft er 20 some-odd years.”

Now that the con-struction is complete and the church is up and running, they hope to be good neighbours.

Th e open concept church was designed to be multipurpose – both for church functions and for the wider community.

“To be a community gathering space, that seems like a good fi t for a church,” he said. “We want it to be a gift for the community.”

Th e worship space doubles as a large gather-ing space that will accom-modate up to 400 people

for events like weddings and small conferences, and there’s also a pre-school that’s now home to

Surrey Christian School’s pre-school program.

Th e sanctuary can be used as a “gentle gym” for

activities like volleyball, Vanderwoud said.

Th ere is also a coff ee bar with bar tables so

people can stand around and socialize.

Aesthetics were anoth-er consideration.

“We wanted to be very deliberate about building a structure that the com-munity would appreciate looking at,” he said. “Th is was not a cheap way to go. We wanted to fi t into the community, architec-turally.”

Outdoor landscap-

ing has likewise been designed with church and community needs in mind.

“Th ere’s a bit of a park-like feel,” he said.

Th e construction costs were in the “millions” but costs were kept down thanks to a team of vol-unteers. One member is a landscaper who was able to draw on plenty of help from within the church

when it came to planting the thousands of plants that have gone in.

Volunteers also came in each week to clean on the weekends during construction.

“Th e whole building is the input of the whole community,” he said.

An offi cial grand-opening is in the works.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTONew Hope Community Church members pose outside their new church at 18625 Fraser Highway in Clayton. The fi rst service was held Jan. 3.

The year 2016 is shaping up to produce a bumper crop of couch potatoes.

Th anks to their Christmas gift s, more young people will be star-ing endlessly at screens instead of interacting with real people or going outside to play.

Th e number one, and seem-ingly only, gift kids wanted from Santa was something digital. Th e hot ticket items this holiday for kids six and up were iPads, iP-ods, smartphones, computers, games and gaming devices. Th ey weren’t asking for bikes, basket-balls or skateboards.

Th is means more time spent inside, less human contact and less activity all around.

With a young son myself, I’m lucky so far, that he has no inter-est in playing video games. But many of his friends do.

Th ere will come a day when he does take an interest in  Mine-craft (or as the parents like to call it “Mind crap.”) Some of his lit-

tle fi ve-year-old friends already know how to text emoticons. When he was two he went up to the TV and swiped the screen in an attempt to change the channel — something he learned from looking at photos of himself on mommy’s smartphone.

I am the one to suggest we play outside, not him. Once outside, he is happy to climb a tree, ride a bike or play hide and seek. I’m not putting on my tinfoil hat, saying the digital world is ruin-ing our children. I just wonder what it all means for their so-cial future and frankly for their waistlines.

We are having to schedule in activities rather than have them happen organically.

In my day (see how old I sound) our parents didn’t have to tell us to play outside, because we were out there every dry day until the street lights went on. Nobody made up games for us and kept us entertained, nobody

helicoptered all over us.As youngsters, we disagreed

sometimes, but only had each other to work it out. An iPad may be able to show kids their house from space, but it can’t teach life skills.

Th ere is a lot of worry these days about number of kids com-ing to kindergarten who are not socially ready and are unable to ‘self regulate.’ I don’t really understand it all, but it doesn’t sound good.

Raising a child in a digital world is both fascinating and terrifying. While there are so many benefi ts to the internet, making us a much more global community, reaching out and spreading awareness — there are just as many downsides. We are only just scratching the surface of what our kids’ attachments to their screens mean for them.

In a recent interview with Langley school district assistant superintendent Gord Stewart,

he worried out loud about kids ‘having ‘no downtime’ from their screens and what that is doing to their well being.

One study, indicates that gam-ing releases the pleasure chem-ical dopamine, making the ex-perience similar to substance abuse. Years of gaming can change the reward circuitry in a child’s brain.

Even regular screen time is associated with changes in the brain involving emotional pro-cessing, attention and mood.

Because it isn’t his natural in-stinct, I make a concerted eff ort to get my son outside and in na-ture as much as possible.

But when the day comes — as it inevitably will — that I lose his attention to the draw of a shiny screen I will remind him, all things in moderation.

Or at least that’s the goal.– Monique Tamminga is a reporter at

Storyteller Allan Dann mourned

Cloverdale loses one of its longest-serving citizens

By Jennifer LangResidents of Cloverdale are

mourning the loss of one of their lon-gest serving neighbours and friends, Allan Dann, a former volunteer fi re captain and businessman who grew up above the family shop and was a life-long citizen of Surrey’s historic heart.

Dann died on Dec. 19 at the age of 91, just shy of the three-year anniversary of his retirement from Dann’s Electronics, Surrey’s oldest, continually-operating, family-owned business.

Generations of Cloverdale resi-dents remember buying their fi rst 10-speed bike, refrigerator, or TV at Dann’s, a full-service appliance and electronics sales and repair shop.

Th e glorious neon sign with swooping red letters was a fi xture on heritage-rich 176 Street along the famed Pacifi c Highway from the 1950s until the lights went out in January, 2013. Th e business had operated for 91 years.

It was started by his father in 1921, and moved to 5657 176 Street in

1932, a former Royal Bank with an upstairs apartment meant to house the bank manager and his family. It’s now a heritage building.

Ernest H. Dann’s sold and re-paired bicycles but evolved into wiring homes, business and farms, too, along with selling and servicing appliances and electronics as the decades passed and technical innova-tion and consumerism fl ourished.

Ernest and Doris Dann were Irish immigrants who settled in Surrey. Allan was their only child. Growing up on Cloverdale’s main street, he forged many fond memories  – and was privy to colourful language at the blacksmith’s next door, he told the Reporter in an interview in 2013.

“I was always over there, because it was interesting,” he joked. “I came back with new words.”

He graduated from Surrey High School in Cloverdale in 1942, and soon went on to serve with the RCAF as an instrument mechanic during the Second World War, a job that

took him up and down the B.C. coast.

Aft er the war, he returned to work in the family business, eventu-ally taking over.

He was most proud of his 35 years with the volunteer fi re brigade with Hall 8 in Clover-dale, serving as a cap-tain for many years, as well as assistant chief, earning two service medals in an era where there could be three to four calls a day.

He spent a lifetime in Cloverdale, and he

could recall the names of those long passed, and where former busi-nesses used to operate.

It was a close-knit place. In Dann’s day, if a boy took the same girl out twice, the whole town knew about it.

He married his wife Brenda, a school teach-er, in 1950.

Dann was also a member of the Clover-dale Masons, Clover-dale Board of Trade – the precursor to the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce – the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and served

on a host of other local organizations and ser-vice clubs.

Dann’s decades at the shop and the fact that he grew up in Clo-verdale made him an information post.

Some of his memo-ries are recorded at the Surrey Museum and Surrey Archives, which he helped found, along with the Cloverdale Rodeo.

“People will miss his stories,” daughter Kathleen said, adding her dad was a wealth of local history.

“In November, I

and my eldest walked through the Surrey Museum with him.”

Allan Dann’s exper-tise with a range of electronics, lawnmow-ers and bikes – and an unmatched array of re-placement parts – made the shop a magnet for hobbyists restoring de-cades-old equipment.

Entering the shop and showroom was like stepping back in time.

When the TV show Fringe fi lmed an epi-sode in Cloverdale, the producers didn’t change a thing, and even persuaded the Mac-

Gyver-like repairman to appear in a scene.

In January 2013, at the age of 89, Dann sold the building and closed the business. At the time, friend Alan Clegg recalled Dann deliver-ing merchandise and making service calls on weekends, and always taking the time to talk with his customers.

“He was also one of the nicest guys you’d ever run into, so he will be missed for sure,” said Clegg, a former volun-teer fi re district chief who served with Dann in the 1970s.

Dann’s encyclope-dic knowledge – from names of former cus-tomers to the locations of long-gone buildings – made him a valuable source.

“You could go in and see him about Surrey history at any time,” Clegg said this week. “He had a great memory.”

Dann’s gift was his accessibility.

“So many people knew him. To be able to pick his brain is what we’ll miss the most.”

Dann remained part of the Cloverdale social circle as the years ad-vanced, meeting friends

for breakfast and lunch-ing monthly as recently as November with a group of retired local businessmen at the Cloverdale Legion.

He’s survived by his wife of nearly 66 years, Brenda, four chil-dren: Kathleen, John, Bruce and Brenda, six grandchildren and one grandchild born in October.

A private graveside service for family has been held.

A celebration of his life is Saturday, Jan. 16 at Newlands Golf and Country Club 21025 48 Avenue, Langley, at 1 p.m.

on the new Pattullo Bridge when its replacement opens.

Stone has suggested that aft er tolling the Massey and Pattullo, tolls might have to be added at the Alex Fraser as well, but the government has yet to specifi cally commit to toll reform or outline how it might work.

So the B.C. Trucking Associ-ation has given Stone a nudge, urging the province to begin dis-cussing the idea more openly.

“We have concern that we’re just going to be causing unnecessary congestion by tolling four out of the fi ve crossings and stopping at that,” said BCTA president Louise Yako.

Th at scenario would cause “con-siderable problems” for businesses on Annacis Island, which she said is a major hub for trucking companies and home to various industries and warehouses.

“Conceptually, what we’re talking about is tolling all of the

crossings,” Yako said. “Th e Second Narrows, the Lions Gate, Oak Street, Granville, Burrard – all of them. So that everyone pays a little bit to fi nance the large infrastruc-ture projects that we all agree are necessary.”

All of the region’s bridges will eventually need to be rehabilitated, rebuilt or expanded, Yako argues.

She won’t say what she thinks is an appropriate toll amount for currently untolled bridges, adding that number will depend on a de-tailed accounting of the operating costs of the current transportation network and estimates of the need for future capital projects.

But Yako suggested tolls be put on those crossings soon – before the new Massey bridge opens – rather than waiting for the com-pletion of that project in 2022.

She noted the harm caused by congestion is not limited to travel time delays.

“When people drive further than they have to they’re produc-ing additional emissions that are

unnecessary and the further some-one drives the greater the safety risk of a crash.”

‘Do it right now’Delta Mayor Lois Jackson also

supports tolls on all crossings at much lower rates – the sooner the better.

“I’d do it right now,” Jackson said, adding “people would un-derstand” if blanket tolls were low enough.

“People would take a direct route rather than going around to save on the toll,” she said. “It would take the pressure off a lot of people who are now scrambling around taking longer routes to save on paying a toll.”

Other mayors have proposed harmonized bridge tolling before and it was recommended as a potential pilot project for road pricing last fall by an economic think tank.

Jackson hopes motorists support the idea by providing feed-

back to the province in the Massey replacement consultations, which wrap up Jan. 28.

New Westminster Coun. Patrick Johnstone said cutting the Port Mann toll in half and putting the same charge on the Pattullo Bridge would likely generate the same revenue as the Port Mann now does and greatly improve con-gestion in New Westminster and north Surrey, where many vehicles converge to take the free Pattullo.

“Th at would eliminate the traffi c diversion problems and it would give the truckers an opportunity to use the freeway they want to use without being priced out of using it,” Johnstone said.

Port Mann leakageNeither of the existing two

toll bridges – the Port Mann and Golden Ears – are making as much money as was originally forecast, casting doubt on the debt repay-ment schedules.

“You’re having a revenue leak

right now on the Port Mann – 20,000 people are just not showing up on the Port Mann, they’re showing up on the Pattullo instead,” Johnstone said.

He believes road pricing is “inevitable” and a move as soon as possible to consistent tolling along the Fraser could save drivers tremendous amounts of time.

So far Premier Christy Clark has shown no interest in the idea.

Johnstone said it might also undermine her government’s plan for the $3.5-billion Massey replacement.

“Ultimately, if you toll the tunnel and all the crossings on the Fraser, we would probably fi nd the traffi c demand for the tunnel would go away and we would no longer require an expensive bridge to replace it,” he said. “Th e premier has to fi gure out how to pay for this infrastructure she wants to build.”

By Jeff NagelA last-minute rush by

regular transit users to get Compass cards now that paper monthly passes are no longer sold temporarily over-whelmed TransLink staff two weekends ago.

It led to complaints of long waits to get customer service help by phone and exces-sive hours-long delays for passes bought on new Compass cards to become active in users’ accounts.

Lloyd Bauer, TransLink’s vice-pres-ident heading the Compass project, said passes and stored value purchased online for Compass accounts are

supposed to be usable within two hours, adding TransLink is working with the system contractor to get the delay down to that target.

Passes or value added to Compass cards at station vending machines or at London Drugs outlets did not have a delay problem and were available immediately.

He suggested the delay for online trans-actions was temporary because of the roughly 70,000 new Compass users who signed up in the fi rst few days of 2016 – a huge jump from the rate of 1,000 to 2,000 per day previ-ously.

“Th e last few days have been a big chal-lenge for our system,” Bauer said. “We expect that this peak we are getting now is an un-usual peak.”

About 450,000 out of roughly 800,000 regular transit users in Metro Vancouver are now using Compass cards.

Bauer said more people are getting the hang of how to use the new payment card and that they must tap out as they exit a station or else they’ll be charged the maximum three zones even if they’ve only travelled one zone.

About 80 per cent of cards are now being tapped out on exit, up from 70 per cent earlier

in the fall. It’s not clear how many of the re-maining 20 per cent are paying too much as a result of failing to tap.

Th ere’s currently one gate left open at each station, while the rest are closed and Bauer encourages passengers to use the closed gates to make sure they tap out.

He said most passen-gers are happy with the new system once their card is set up.

Unlike with old paper passes and prepaid tick-ets, Compass holders need never go to a retail dealer again if they set their account to activate a new pass each month or to automatically re-load stored value when

their card’s balance runs low.

TransLink also says it will stop distributing FareSaver tickets to retailers this month, although the booklets of 10 prepaid tickets may be sold at some lo-cations beyond January until they run out.

FareSavers will still be valid until there’s a fi nal decision to close the last faregates on the system – there’s still no target date for when that will happen – aft er which unused FareSav-ers can be converted to Compass card stored value.

Bauer said passengers can be stopped and fare checked by Transit Police carrying mobile Compass readers. Th ey can issue fi nes to people who enter through open gates without tap-ping in with their card or otherwise carrying a valid fare.

Concerns have also been raised by some seniors that concession Compass cards aren’t available at Compass vending machines in stations.

TransLink says that’s not unusual – conces-sion passes were only sold through retailers in the past, not the machines.

Concession passes can be bought at par-ticipating retailers, as well as online through compasscard.ca.

Pilot to put 2.5k girls in the air with Sky’s No Limit

By Moninique Tamminga

Langley resident Kirsten Brazier’s goal for the New Year is a loft y one. She aims to make sure 2,500 females fl y for the fi rst time.

Last year, Brazier’s “Th e Sky’s No Limit  — Girls Fly Too” event at Abbotsford Inter-national Airport, saw 1,700 females take their fi rst fl ights.

“It’s my passion to inspire more females to get into the aviation world. Th is work is so important, for the past few years I have set aside my own profes-sional fl ying career in order to bring these special events to thou-sands with the end goal of improving gender diversity in aviation, aerospace, marine and defence,” said Brazier.

She has started a go-fundme account under GirlsFly2 to help cover the costs associated with organizing such a large-scale event.

More than 15,000 people are expected to descend on the Ab-botsford International Airport on March 12 and 13 for the free Girls Fly Too event, the world’s largest aviation outreach show of its kind. She holds three world records for the event.

For two days, 10 helicopters will take fi rst-time fl iers up in the sky. Th e hope, said Brazier, is to get females excited about careers in aviation.

“Th is year is even

bigger and better. I’ve invited the navy this year, the bomb disposal unit will bring a robot and a bomb suit, RCMP tactical team will be there too,” she said.

“Th e event takes on a hands-on approach to capture the attention of a missing female demo-graphic,” she points out.

Th ere are only around 1,300 female professional pilots in Canada, as compared to 23,000 male pilots.

Th e numbers are even more dismal in the aircraft engineering and mechanics. In the Canadian Armed Forc-es, less than three per cent of top command positions are held by women.

It’s these low num-bers that have irked Brazier since she start-ed fl ying 23 years ago.

Brazier is kind of a

trail blazer, determined to turn the tides of a male dominated fi eld. She has had a wild ride in the skies in her fl ying career, which has taken her to the Caribbean, the U.S. and deep into the forests as a bush pilot.

In 2012, while fl ying helicopters in Yellow-knife she got permis-sion to host a day to fl y young women in an eff ort to see them bitten by the fl ying bug. With help, she fl ew around 421 females.

She brought it to Langley in 2014, home to many of her most dedicated volunteers. It was a huge success here but outgrew the landing strips.

Last year, she moved it to Abbotsford, home of the Abbotsford Air Show — one of the events she went to

annually as a child and set the wings in motion to her career. Astronaut Wendy Lawrence made a guest appearance at the event last year. Th ere will be other surprises this year, said

Brazier.She’s extended an

invitation to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Considering his cabinet has the most female MPs in Cana-dian history, it seems most appropriate that he attend Th e Sky’s No Limit, said Brazier.

Lieut. Gov. Judith Guichon will also be at-tending again this year. She’s excited to share her passion for aviation and hopefully inspire female future leaders.

“Th ere are no limits to the opportunities girls and young women can pursue,” said Gui-chon.

To put on the event, Brazier is in need of volunteers, male or female, and corporate sponsors. If you have a way to help go to www.girlsfl y2.ca or go to gofundme page.

Girls Fly Too event is now the world’s largest aviation outreach show of its kind

SCOTT LOUGH PHOTOKirsten Brazier prepares for takeoff with a young passenger during a previous The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too. Brazier has set up a gofundme page to help out with this year’s event.

A woman is clinging to life in hospital after being hit by a vehicle in Guildford.

At 7:30 a.m. Friday, the 25-year-old woman was crossing an in-tersection at 142A Street and 108 Avenue when she was hit by a Kia minivan.

She was thrown a considerable distance and sustained serious head injuries.

She was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the vehicle re-mained at scene and is cooperating

with police. Impairment is not be-lieved to be a factor, and there was no crosswalk at this intersection.

The intersection was expected to remain closed while police investi-gated the accident.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stop-pers, if they wish to remain anon-ymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.

Flight museum clears pathBy Dan FergusonA new and much bigger home for the

Canadian Museum of Flight in Lang-ley has cleared an important regulatory hurdle, with news the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has approved the con-struction on protected farmland next to the Langley airport.

In a fi ve-page written decision late last year, the ALC tribunal ruled the project, because of its relatively small size and lo-cation, “would not have an adverse impact on surrounding agricultural land or oper-ations.”

Th e museum said the approval will help the fundraising campaign for the proposed 60,000 square foot building on a 1.6-acre site in the 21300 block of Fraser Highway, next to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum.

“Now we can do serious facility fund-raising and planning,” said Gord Wintrup, the museum Building Task Force leader and former chairperson.

“(It’s) great news.”“Construction of a new museum facility

will confi rm our contribution to the econ-omy of Langley,” said current museum chairperson Bruce Bakker.

“Th e museum is now in a position to move forward with the opportunity the Township has provided them,” mayor Jack Froese said.

Langley Regional Airport manager Guy Miller said the relocation of the fl ight mu-seum to the new site will benefi t both mu-seum and airport operations.

Th e museum currently operates out of a

leased 7,000-square -foot space in a han-gar at the airport, with no room to expand.

It houses more than 25 aircraft , fi ve in fl ying condition.

A preliminary estimate has put the cost of construction of the new museum at $2 million.

A Township staff report to council said all the costs of construction and the relo-cation of the many classic aircraft will be

borne by the museum.According to the report, the Township

plans to lease the property to the museum for a dollar a year.

It currently leases its airport space for about $15,000 a year.

Th e museum was founded in 1977 and originally operated in Cloverdale.

It moved to Langley in 1996.– Black Press

By Gary McLaughlinIt was a great week in

late November for Surrey’s Steel School of Irish Dance based out of Clo-verdale. Th e school qual-ifi ed a record number of individual dancers for the 2016 World Irish Dance Championships coming up this March in Glasgow, Scotland. All the dancers earned their spots by great showings at the Western Canadian Oireachtas (the Irish word for champion-ships) in Kelowna.

Although the Steel School is based out of Cloverdale these last eight years, they have operated in Surrey since 1984. Th e school has had consider-able success in qualifying not only world entrants, but in also qualifying a great number of dancers – over 150 at last count – to the North American Irish Dance Champion-ships, held annually in diff erent venues in both Canada and the U.S. By any measure, the Steel School of Irish Dance is one of the most successful in all of B.C.

Steel School owner and head dance teacher Jacquelyn Har-dychuk calls this group of six qualifi ers by far one of the hard-est working groups ever to pass through the school.

“Th eir determination to succeed is evidenced by the countless hours a week they ded-icate to training,” she says. “Th ey have to be because the calibre of dance at the worlds is compara-ble to that of elite Olympic ath-letes. Only about one per cent of

all Irish dancers make it to this level, so to have the opportunity to be amongst the world’s best is a huge achievement.”

Th e dancers – fi ve of whom attend Surrey public schools and one from Richmond – are: Mikaela Barton, 17 (Sullivan Heights Secondary); Calleigh McLaughlin, 16, (Clayton Heights Secondary); Sabine Al-exander, 13 (McMath Secondary, Richmond); Lauren Olsen, 13, (Earl Marriot Secondary), Belle Heritage, 12 (Mountainview Montessori), and Charli Olson, 10, (Laronde Elementary).

Clayton Heights’ McLaughlin

is one of those dancers really looking forward to this ultimate dance experience.

“Qualifying for the worlds was easily one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life so far,” Mc-Laughlin says.

“It truly felt amazing to know that all the years of really hard work does pay off . Preparing for the worlds will be challenging and will take complete commitment and, of course, dedication. But this is something we are used to and it is both a thrill and a real honour for all of us to represent Canada at the worlds.”

And these young dancers/athletes do ded-icate enormous amounts of time to get the spectacular results they do. Practicing many hours a week both in the studio and at home, the girls also work with

cross-trainers, physiotherapists and sports psychologists.

And then there are the nu-merous feisanna (Irish dance competitions) that are attended throughout the year in locations all up and down the Pacifi c Coast. Seattle and Vancouver, Washington; Portland and Seaside, Oregon; Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta as well as a host of local Lower Mainland sites are but a few of the destina-tions that see them pack up their dresses and go dancing.

It is a busy, full-time passion

and, needless to say, dance can also be an expensive endeavour.

Just ask any dance mom! But it’s a labour of love for all involved – dancers, teachers and parents – and now the trip to the worlds be-comes the big focus, as does the task of funding it all.

Th e girls have already started the challenging but necessary task of fundraising to help off set the high cost of the big trip. Numerous fundraisers and activi-ties have already begun and you may see the six dancing at local pubs or venues in the next couple of months. Th ey perform for groups and audiences both big and small and welcome all inquiries about their availability for your event or function!

All sponsoring indi-viduals or groups will receive their company names on the team jackets, shout outs on

our social media pages, referrals of the dance community to your business or organiza-tion as well as a signed team picture and thank you certifi cate for your business’s or organiza-tion’s wall.

Also, if you would like to see these young ladies in action and many other up and coming Irish dancers, the Steel School is hosting their annual Winter Performance at Surrey’s Bell Centre on Saturday, February 13, at 7 p.m.

If you are interest-ed in helping these amazing young world qualifi ers out, maybe attending the Winter Performance or want to inquire about enrolling your daughter or son in Irish Dance, go to: www.steelschoolofi r-ishdance.com or Steel School Facebook page. You can also call Jac-queline Hardychuck at 778-228-5012.

By Rick KupchukTh e Vancouver

Giants continue to gain ground in the Western Hockey League (WHL) playoff race.

A three-game road trip to central Alberta didn’t slow the Giants, who won twice and are now 9-3-1 (win-loss-overtime loss) in the past four weeks.

Aft er a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings Wednesday (Jan. 6), Vancouver topped the Calgary Hitmen 5-2 Friday night then edged the Red Deer Rebels 6-5 in overtime Saturday.

Now at 17-21-5 on the season, the Giants have moved out of the Western Conference basement and are now within three points of a wild-card position.

Th e Oil Kings scored once in each period, and outshot the Giants 44-27 on their way to a win last Wednesday. Th omas Foster netted the only goal for the visitors, one which tied the game 1-1 late in the second period.

Friday in Calgary, special teams helped power the Giants to a win over the Hitmen. Veteran Chase Lang scored a shorthanded goal 14 minutes into the game, then assisted on Brennan Menell’s powerplay marker in the fi nal minute of the opening period for a 2-0 Vancouver lead.

Ty Ronning tallied twice in the second pe-riod, which ended with the Giants enjoying a 4-1 advantage. Carter Popoff scored into an

empty net with four minutes remaining in the game, then Calgary got one back with two minutes left to complete the scoring. Popoff also assisted on Ronning’s two goals.

Calgary outshot the visitors 36-31. Ryan Kubic made 17 saves in the Vancouver goal for the win.

Th e Giants found themselves playing against a Red Deer team which has the second-best record in the Eastern Confer-ence, but escaped with a win Saturday. Lang netted Vancouver’s fi rst two goals of the game, then Alec Baer, Dakota Odgers and Ronning added to the goal total. Ronning’s tally with 15 minutes remaining in the game put the Giants

up 5-3, but two Rebels’ goals in the fi nal min-ute forced overtime.

Ronning netted his second of the game four minutes into extra time, giving the Giants the win.

Kubic was a stand-out in the Vancouver goal, stopping 43 of 48 shots, including two in overtime. Vancouver directed 31 shots at the Red Deer net.

Th e Giants will be at home twice next week-end, before a pair of games early in the week south of the border. Vancouver will host the Everett Silvertips Friday night at 7:30 p.m. then face-off against the Prince George Cougars Saturday at 5 p.m.

Monday, they visit the Portland Winter-hawks, then move on

to Kennewick, Wash-ington Tuesday for a game with the Tri-City Americans.

BLUE LINES: Th e Giants made a couple of trades last week in advance of the Jan. 10 trade deadline. Van-couver sent 19-year-old defenceman Josh Th rower and a second round pick in the 2017

WHL Bantam Draft to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for defencemen Tyler Brown, 18, and Marcus Kichton, 16.

“We’re bringing in a player in Tyler who has experience in our league,” said Giants Head Coach Lorne Molleken. “He’s a left -handed shot which

is something that we’re short on at the point.”

Brown, a native of East Olympia, Wash-ington, has three goals in 136 career WHL games. Kichton is currently playing with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons opt the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
