21st homicide of year matches City of Surrey’s record set in 2005

Man killed in targeted home invasion Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One man is dead following what police have described as a “targeted home invasion” in South Surrey Saturday night. Heavily armed officers descended on a house in the 2600-block of King George Boulevard around 11:15 p.m. Nov. 10, after paramedics alerted police to a man suffering from suspicious injuries. The officers broke through the front door, yelling commands to those inside. No arrests

were made. Police confirmed Sunday the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is on the case, in conjunction with Surrey RCMP. As of Peace Arch News deadline Wednesday afternoon, the 44-year-old victim’s name and cause of death had not been released. IHIT spokesman Sgt. Adam MacIntosh told PAN that an autopsy was to be conducted Wednesday and that efforts are ongoing to identify the culprit. “We continue to follow the evidence of the

investigation and all leads to identify and collect the evidence against the person or persons responsible,” MacIntosh said. At the scene Sunday morning, MacIntosh said the victim was known to police and that drugs are being looked at as a possible motive. “This was not something random,” he said shortly before noon. “Surrey RCMP have been here before and are familiar with our deceased male.” i see page A4

Fire ‘not suspicious’

Philippines tragedy

Barn blaze

‘Heavy heart’ for homeland Evan Seal Black Press

Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

An early-morning barn fire on a South Surrey property that is “familiar” to RCMP was not suspicious, police say. Police were called to the blaze, in the 3800-block of 152 Street, just before 3 a.m. Saturday. Officers arrived to find “a storage barn totally engulfed in flames,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. A resident of the property told police he had “no idea” how it started, Paquet said. While police were later told “a male at the scene had information about a potential suspect,” Paquet said investigators found “no indication that the fire was started intentionally.” It’s unknown what was being stored in the barn, Paquet added. He would not disclose why police had been to the property on previous occasions. “We are familiar with that residence… for a plethora of calls for services,” he said. “Nothing that would represent a public-safety issue.” With no power or water service to the barn, fire crews had to shuttle water in by tanker to fight the blaze.

South Surrey resident Raquel Padilla was only 45 days old when she survived her first typhoon. She remembers her parents telling her how they jumped out of a window in the family home as the building collapsed around them. That was nearly 30 years ago. For the last few days, Padilla has been struggling to find information following the onslaught of Typhoon Haiyan, which destroyed much of the Philippines on Raquel Padilla Nov. 7. Padilla’s family lives in the province of Capiz on the northern coast of Panay Island, an area known for its beautiful coastlines and seafood. Once the storm had subsided, the vibrant farming and fishing community had been reduced to a wasteland of debris. “Everyone is there, my parents, my cousins, my aunts,” said Padilla. “Everything is flattened.” Padilla moved to Canada in 2010 and is currently working as a nanny. Her family in the Philippines is now trying to survive the aftermath of the worst typhoon to hit landfall in recorded history. i see page A5

seems highly risky and downright dangerous. Gas stations have to follow a lot of safety rules for very good reasons, and one of the most obvious safety measures they can implement is the ability to shut off the supply of gasoline if a fire or spill does occur. If gasoline theft is this prominent, and it seems that it is, people need to take precautions when they have tanks of gasoline or diesel fuel at their businesses. These are obviously targets for these type of thieves. In addition, people with larger vehicles that have larger fuel tanks need to ensure that it is very difficult to steal gas from parked vehicles. While a locking gas cap is an obvious precaution, it isn’t always enough for sophisticated thieves, who have been known to drill into gas tanks (also very hazardous behaviour) to steal fuel. In the meantime, people who have suspicions about vans which appear to be delivering gasoline on the street or in alleys should let police know right away. They may be preventing a much worse explosion from taking place. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Surrey RCMP rescind report of sexual assault Surrey RCMP are reassuring the public there is no cause for alarm, after a report of a sexual assault in South Surrey prompted a brief appeal for help identifying a suspect. Cpl. Bert Paquet confirmed

Wednesday that the appeal – issued Sunday afternoon – was cancelled after “we found some inconsistencies in our investigation that led us to believe this never happened.” According to the initial

release, an assault on a teenaged girl occurred late Oct. 25 in Alderwood Park. The alert was cancelled less than an hour after it was issued. “There’s absolutely no risk,” Paquet said.

Crossing double-yellow line ‘not a marked departure for a reasonable person,’ lawyer says

He thought it was safe to pass: defence Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

A dump-truck driver who crossed a double-yellow line, killing a South Surrey man in 2011, took a “calculated, deliberate risk” that resulted in the head-on collision, Surrey Provincial Court heard Tuesday. Glen Edward Theriault’s decision to cross out of the westbound lane in the 19800block of 16 Avenue and travel in the wrong lane, leading to the early-morning collision that killed Jim Neiss, 59, on Jan. 18 was not the action of “a reasonable person,” Crown prosecutor Winston Sayson told Judge Paul Dohm during closing arguments. The trial had been rescheduled from Oct. 7 after the defence asked to recall a forensic collision reconstructionist who had attended the scene. Defence counsel Rishi Gill had told Dohm he had worded a question poorly and asked to clarify the evidence. This week, Gill asked Dohm to “disregard”

or “void” previous testimony and refer to the witness’s latest answers, along with videos and photos he had taken on Sept. 29. However, Dohm denied the request, telling Gill that “just because you don’t like someone’s answers” doesn’t mean he would void the testimony, adding the witness could change his answers, but it “calls into question his credibility and reliability.” Later, Gill argued that while “actus reus” (‘guilty act’) had occurred when Theriault had crossed the westbound lane to overtake another car, the “mens rea” (‘guilty mind’) was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. “Theriault thought the road was clear ahead,” Gill told the court. “Just passing a double-yellow solid is not enough (to equate a dangerous-driving conviction).” Gill added that given Theriault’s belief the road was clear ahead, it was not a “marked departure of a reasonable person” to cross the double-yellow line to pass a car.

Tether bylaw doubted Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey has passed a bylaw outlawing the tethering of dogs for long periods of time. On Tuesday, Surrey council gave early approval to the bylaw, which prohibits the tying of dogs for more than four hours in total on any given day.

Foreign PMs to take stage in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Three foreign former prime ministers will be coming to next year’s Surrey Regional Economic Summit, Black Press has learned. Originally planned for this fall, the summit was delayed for a few months after attempts to woo former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed. The event has been pushed forward to February while the city negotiates with other speakers. Black Press has learned those speakers include three former prime ministers of foreign countries.

House had repeated police visits i from page A1 “There are some people that are currently in custody that we are speaking with.” MacIntosh confirmed Wednesday that the motive “appears related to criminal activity.” Saturday night was not the first time in recent months that police have been called to the house. On Sept. 1, a man and a woman were taken to hospital after a fight broke out outside the home. RCMP said that incident was not a drug case “but more of potentially an assault or weapons-related investigation.” The incident closed King George Boulevard for hours, and several people were taken into custody. Emergency crews returned Sept. 20. A passerby – who said she lived nearby – said one man was escorted from the house and was placed on a stretcher and loaded into the ambulance. The victim Saturday night was alive when paramedics arrived at the scene. Transported to hospital, he was pronounced dead. The man’s death brings to 21 the number of homicides in Surrey this year – a match for the highest number recorded, set in 2005.

uestion: I have been looking after my elderly mother for a couple of years and she has often said to me that I should get the lion’s share of her estate as a reward. She always said when the time is ripe she will get a lawyer to do her will. She has been deteriorating mentally, sometimes she is ok and sometimes she is in the la-la land of her pre-teen years. I have been concerned that I wouldn’t get most of her estate so I waited for a day when she was really clear and I hustled her into a lawyer’s ofÀce. The lawyer would not allow me into his ofÀce so I could make sure that her wishes were understood. After about a half hour the lawyer came out with my mother and said he could not do her will because while she knew that she wanted to give most of her estate to me, she did not know what her estate was, couldn’t remember when my dad died, the date she was married and some other details that seem to me to be irrelevant. I argued with him but to no avail. Can I sue the lawyer for my loss as a result of his dereliction of duty?

i from page A1 Her parents have been able to get to Manila, and the rest of her family survived the storm but, like many others, are in desperate need of help. Their homes no longer exist, and the area where they live is under water. “People don’t own cars,” said Padilla. “They rely so heavily on public transportation, but all of the transit system is destroyed. There are no roads left.” She is concerned media attention is focused on the country’s larger cities, however all of the Philippines is in serious need. Electricity could take up to six months to return. “I can’t stop crying,” Padilla said, “hearing stories of parents holding on to their children and suddenly they’re gone only to find them later, dead. I have such (a) heavy heart right now.” Up to 10,000 people are feared dead after a massive storm surge and ensuing flooding in what’s being described as the worst storm to ever hit the country. After watching the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan over the last few days, Narima Dela Cruz, president of the Surrey Philippine Association, finds the images difficult to process. “It’s beyond words,” said the Surrey realtor of the destruction. “I survived Typhoon Nina in 1987. I remember all the coconut trees falling down in the heavy winds.”

Jhet van Ruyven tries to maintain contact with friends online. She knows of three Surrey families who have still had no contact with family and are anxiously watching both the Canadian Red Cross website and Philippine news for any footage or acknowledgment that their relatives are alive. “One woman has had no contact with any of her five children,” said Dela Cruz. “All she can do right now is cry.” The natural disaster has touched nearly all the nearly 20,000 Filipino-Canadians living in Surrey, she said. For White Rock resident and former business owner Jhet van Ruyven, images of the typhoon damage are shocking. Through Facebook and email she has been in contact with friends living throughout the region. “Friends have told me about bodies spread all over, uncollected,” she said.

“(Survivors) are hungry… they have lost everything. This has really hit home for me.” “Filipino people have touched many lives locally…” she said, “so it’s time to help them in return.”

New Democrats still BC Liberals’ biggest threat

he ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in selfflagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review that was released Friday. The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure, so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest-rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature, but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking you thought the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election). When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it manages to puts teeth back into the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

Tkachuk in that same story. “Now, it seems the Senate is a full-time job.” At $135,200 a year, one would hope so. Let us also consider MP salaries. Our MPs are paid extremely well – $160,200, which makes our 308 federal politicians “rich” according to Stats Canada. They are also afforded myriad perks and benefits that should make jaws drop from coast to coast to coast. Did you know you the taxpayer helped foot the $2.7-million bill last year so MPs could fly their “designated traveller” (usually a spouse) to and from Ottawa on your dime? Should we, the taxpayers, be paying to fly spouses and family members of MPs to and from Ottawa? It’s a fair question that should be asked. When politicians claim they could make more in the private sector and that serving in Ottawa or Victoria constitutes a sacrifice, such numbers presented in the Senate or House of Commons or provincial legislature make one wonder. Let us also consider the fully indexed pensions these MPs get after just six years in office and compare the largesse to the clawbacks imposed upon military veterans, whose pensions can pale in comparison to those enjoyed by retired members of Parliament. Such discrepancy suggests facing an imposing reporter’s notebook in Ottawa is worth more than facing a Taliban sniper’s bullet in Kandahar. It would be funny if it was not so damn pathetic.

quote

Time to remember Editor: I was one of a large number of people attending the Remembrance Day ceremony at White Rock City Hall. While I found the occasion moving and well organized, I was disappointed at one aspect of public decorum. I am referring to the audience’s apparent need to applaud on a couple of occasions. This is not a hockey game; it is a ceremony, and one does not applaud after the National Anthem and certainly not after the bugler’s playing of The Last Post. Perhaps we should ask our schools to teach our children about this point of public behaviour, since apparently a large number of adults are not aware of it. Jim Armstrong, Surrey Q The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is something I have been taught is a moment of deep reflection and gratitude. My gratitude is to the veterans who protect this country I am privileged to call home. My dad – a proud member of the RCAF serving in the Second World War and peacetime – taught me and my family that we must never forget. Additionally, being raised in the military has given me a deep sense of respect for ceremonial protocol. Dad died in May of this year, so being in attendance at this years’ cenotaph services had a new meaning of remembrance for me. I found it confusing at our cenotaph this year, when standing behind the memorial near a tented area with a white rose on each chair, when no one came to sit in these chairs. My assumption was this was an area where our honoured and aging – average age 86 – veterans could sit through the service. I can only imagine the chairs and roses had significance somewhere in the initial grand plan. I thought this would have been a wonderful moment to have the youth ambassadors escort the veterans to their place of importance. Perhaps the tent could be moved to the north just a little so veterans could have the best view of the wreath laying? Add to my confusion when the Master of Ceremonies asked the audience if they minded acknowledging the two minutes of silence at 10:47 a.m.? I do not believe the time of 11 a.m. is negotiable, is it? It was evident the schedule was operating ahead of time, which certainly is not an issue, but it would clearly have been easy to have one of the ministers lead us in prayer to fill in the required time. With all due respect to the organizers, I suggest the significance of this time is not negotiable and should be given its due place of honour. Gwynne Whitby-Thomas, White Rock Q

We know all about the commercialization of Christmas; is Remembrance Day now suffering the same fate? a Dave Williams photo

Cloverdale hosted Surrey’s largest Remembrance Day ceremony Monday, with hundreds taking part. I commend Peace Arch News and associates for their strong support of Canadian veterans, present and past. First, the excellent article on the Equitas Society presently working for just treatment of Canadian Afghan veterans, especially the wounded (Court, ombudsman back veterans group’s claim, Oct. 10). And second, the enlightening interview with RCN veteran Reginald Vose, relating his lengthy service to Canada in the Second World War and Korea (Veteran awash with memories of duty, Nov. 7). We all admire and respect his contribution. However, it must be a misunderstanding in the statement in the latter article, “there were no combat-related naval fatalities for Canada” in the Korean war. I am acquainted with the son of Lt. Cmdr. John L. Quinn who was killed-in-action along with two other crew members, with seven others seriously wounded on Oct. 2, 1952 serving aboard HMCS Iroquois, which sustained a direct hit on the aft gun deck while shelling North Korean troop trains. Also, I have been informed that seven additional naval fatalities during that war are named at the War Memorial in Calgary, Alta. I submit this information in the spirit of honouring our many veterans and their families who all should be remembered. Howard Gillard, Surrey Q Re: Veterans paid ultimate price so you could save?, Nov. 7 column I do take issue with much of Jeff Nagel’s column. My father and grandfather fought overseas for our “freedom.” One of the largest causes of crossborder shopping is a large tax burden on sales in Canada. Sales, income, realty, import, business taxes, among others, factor into all costs. The first reaction to my point is likely to be the lifestyle benefits we receive in Canada. Point taken, but I doubt our veterans put their lives on the line so that federal senators could run up hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars on travel and the maintenance of two homes. In the meantime, many veterans are apparently needing health care to deal with their injuries and are wanting at the hands of the federal government.

I also doubt they contemplated B.C. spending $66 million on a bureaucracy to protect aboriginal children without any benefit or services to the said children. I also doubt they figured on citizens anteing up, so that White Rock city councillors could keep up with the compensation of other comparable municipalities’ councillor compensation, while not able to keep realty taxes at a comparable level, and having some deficiencies in terms of infrastructure and services. Now, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, these issues may be too important to be discussed in an election campaign, but I suspect many cross-border shoppers are expressing their freedom by voting with their feet and wallets. I personally don’t shop in malls on either side of the border, but I do buy gas and play golf in the U.S. I think that greed is pretty widespread and very contagious. It infects not only big business, big labour and government, but is spreading to us consumers, as well. Financial considerations will almost always affect human behaviour. On a different note, I think Nagel’s suggestion of selling poppies in the southbound automobile lineup is a terrific idea, which might be something I would volunteer for. Bob Holden, White Rock Q Thank you, Jeff Nagel, for your well-written column on attending a Remembrance Day service and not cross-border shopping. Lea Radford, Surrey Q It is Friday afternoon and I have just returned from Bellingham with a full gas tank and a six-pack of beer. I plan on travelling to Bellingham on Monday, Nov. 11, not to shop, but to golf. Yes, soldiers of many countries died on distant battle fields. They fought and died to protect everyone’s freedom – freedom to decide where we want to shop and when we want to shop. They certainly did not fight and die to have Nagel dictate to people how they should live their lives. I have great respect for veterans. My father, who fought in the Second World War, and my grandfather, who fought in the First World War, told me of the horrors of war. However,

they never lectured me as to how I should live my life or where and when I could go shopping. So, Jeff Nagel’s tirade has no effect on me. However, his comments regarding having the WW2 warbirds buzzing the southbound lineup and having the Royal Canadian Legion members soliciting contributions for the Poppy Fund at the border I find shameful. Have these people not done enough for Nagel by just going to fight a war? Now he wants them to do his dirty work at home. He should get out himself and embarrass people at the border, if that is what he thinks is required, or rent a plane to carry his banner. He should stand up and be a man, fight his own fight and leave the veterans in peace on Remembrance Day. They deserve at least that. Ian Routledge, White Rock Q Re: Variety show…, Chamber music…, Stella Maris…, Nov. 7. I was privileged to attend the Remembrance Day concert with two grandchildren at Good Shepherd Church performed by the Stella Maris Choir with conductor Trudi Stammer, accompanist Henri Lorieau and reader Kip Barker. As I listened to those beautiful sounds, a little voice in my head kept saying “why could they not have done this before?” Finally, a much more powerful voice said “never mind – they did it and did it with great beauty, sensitivity, dignity and appropriate solemnity – may God bless them all.” Gerry O’Keefe, Surrey Q As a veteran – RCAF 21 years – and a professional musician, I find it strange that we have a number of musical shows advertised as “Remembrance Day” presentations that are also asking a ticket price of $10 or $20 for entry. We know all about the commercialization of Christmas; is Remembrance Day now suffering the same fate? If artists are doing these shows in sincerity, I would like to see the proceeds donated to the Poppy Fund of the Canadian Legion. As well, anyone attending should give what they can – some can’t afford $20. P.S. I enjoyed columnist Jeff Nagel’s opinion on cross-border shopping on Remembrance Day. J. Fortin, Surrey

Teen struck Nov. 9

Hit-and-run car found Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey RCMP have found the vehicle they believe was responsible for hitting a teen in his wheelchair in North Surrey. On Nov. 9 on 95A Avenue near 133 Street, Jonathan Forero, 19, was thrown three meters from his wheelchair by a hitand-run driver. Forero suffered multiple leg fractures as well as bones around his shoulder. Police now say they located the car that took off, after a member of the public tipped them to the whereabouts of a

purple 2000 Honda Civic. “Our request for assistance resulted in exactly the kind of outcome we hoped to receive from our community to assist our efforts,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. Police say the car was not stolen and that they have spoken with the registered owner. Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca

Stocks soar

Housing market stays flat Lower Mainland real estate markets so far aren’t keeping pace with this year’s gains in the stock markets. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver said its composite benchmark price for all residential properties was $600,700 in October – a 0.5 per cent drop from a year ago. Attached duplexes and townhomes were virtually unchanged, while detached houses were down 0.5 per cent yearover-year and apartments were down 0.9 per cent. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB), which includes Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, said its benchmark detached house price was up 0.8 per cent to $546,900 from a year ago, while townhouses were down 0.5 per cent and apartments are down 2.2 per cent. “What we’re witnessing is a return to a balanced residential market indicated by prices remaining unchanged or down slightly compared to a year ago,” said FVREB president Ron Todson, who also cited stable inventory levels and the current two-month average wait for a home to sell. The broad Canadian stock market index is up 10 per cent from one year ago, while the U.S. S&P 500 is closing in on a 30 per cent year-overyear gain.

ith four high-energy kids under age nine and one teenager all under one roof, it’s safe to say that life can be a little chaotic for the McAllisters. There’s Sean, 9, who dreams of becoming a superstar defenseman like Canuck Alex Burrows, and his sisters, Sabrina, 15, Savannah, 9, and Claire, 3, who are all figure skaters. Even baby Cora, 1, is a fan of on-ice action. “This little one adores hockey,” said mom Jennifer. “She loves it. She gets so excited when it comes on. She’ll watch Sean and yells for him. It cracks me up.” While the love for sport came

“After we adopted them, we lost quite a bit of funding, so we were trying to figure out how it would work,” Jennifer said. “Because we needed them in sports – for their sanity and for ours – we looked into different programs, and at Canadian Tire they have the Jumpstart logo all over it, so I got the information and went from there.” Since she first connected with Jumpstart – and with the help of YMCA administrator Sherry Kovach – the McAllisters have received financial support to help pay for sports-related fees. “It helps significantly, because it’s hard to come up with the money for expensive sports, you know?

Anti-theft campaign launches Over the last month in Surrey, 30,000 vehicles were checked out to see if they contained valuables. However, criminals weren’t the ones shopping for things to steal, Mounties and Surrey Crime Prevention volunteers were making sure the cars were safe from would-be crooks. The teams handed out 10,000 notices to people leaving valuables in their cars. The most common items found in plain view in vehicles were bags, backpacks or purses, followed by sunglasses and electronic devices. The most surprising items were two sets of keys in the ignition. The results are from the first month of a program called Protect It, Lock It, Keep It. “I am very proud of this campaign because it empowers our volunteers, officers and citizens to have a direct impact on the number of thefts from vehicles and thefts of vehicles,” said Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge, Chief Supt. Bill Fordy. “To me, one of the most powerful things we can equip our residents with is the knowledge on how to keep themselves and their families safe.” The Protect It, Lock It, Keep It campaign runs until Dec. 2 and is focused on making people more conscious about securing their vehicles and ensuring they keep valuables out of their cars – or at least safely locked up and out of sight. Free steering wheel locks are also being made available to residents who drive older-model vehicles (older than 2000) that are desired targets for car thieves. They are available at any Surrey community policing station or the Surrey Crime Prevention office. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/Hr3JlB

Paintpall park to continue to the end of the month

End of Peninsula zombie invasion inches closer Alex Wilks Special to Peace Arch News

Halloween is long past, but the undead continue to give rise to thrill-seekers on the Semiahmoo Peninsula for a few more days. Blood, gore, guts and violence is the focal point for this year’s Zombie Combat Zone, which moved to First Nation land in Semiahmoo Park earlier this year after founders Ron McCall and Carl Sutherland first brought to life a zombiethemed paintball apocalypse on private property in South Surrey last year. An avid fan of the Walking Dead graphic novels – though he thinks the television show has strayed too far from the originals – McCall takes his zombies seriously. “There’s something different about them compared to regular movie monsters. I mean they’re us right? Believe it or not, they do have an emotional range – although limited – and the fact that of all the possibilities for evil to manifest itself this would be most likely” said McCall. Zombie Combat Zone is an outdoor paintball circuit built to replicate a zombie apocalypse. Up to 12 teammates battle their way to survival armed with only their paintball guns and their wits. The objective is simple: shoot the zombies to stay alive. Each team has rules – never point

The Zombie Combat Zone is open Thursday to Saturday, 7 p.m. to midnight, until the end of November. your weapon at other players and refrain from touching the actors, to name a couple – and a distinct mission. “The mission this year is to find all three parts of a virus that, when

uploaded to three different locations in the game, will shut down all of our cyber-zombies,” McCall said. “Our zombies are the cream of the crop, this isn’t for everyone and it

takes a special breed to be a zombie or a monster.” The zombies are paid actors and are hired through staff connections. Each player is supplied with a Tippmann Tango One Paintball

Gun, eye protection and their ammo, which is unlimited for 30 minutes of gameplay. An additional 15-minute orientation is required prior to the experience. For those with a low pain tolerance, beware. Paintball is a sport you play at your own risk. “Our demographic is pretty much all ages and walks of life,” McCall said. “I was surprised, but it seems to interest all kinds of people.” Although it is recommended that players be over the age of 13, younger children may play with adult supervision. For those who prefer zombie target shooting as opposed to an apocalypse, there is a zombie shooting gallery. This is a special fenced-off section where one or two zombies are kept for people to practice on. Considering the East Beach location is in an active neighbourhood, McCall said he is surprised none of the local surrounding residents have complained about the latenight noise. “(It’s a) great bonus that we can run an event like this and not disturb anyone this late at night.” ZCZ is located at 15782 Marine Dr., Semiahmoo Park. It is open Thursday through to Saturday, 7 p.m. to midnight until the end of November. For more information, visit www. zombiecombatzone.com

‘Amazing Race’-style event approved Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The City of White Rock has approved an ‘Amazing Race’-style of event for 2014. Council voted unanimously Nov. 4 to include The Great White Rock Race in next year’s specialevents schedule. Proposed by Tracy Wattie of Prizebox Entertainment for a Saturday in April, the scavenger-hunt-type race is to take place throughout White Rock, with participants all starting from one location then using their smartphones to answer clues to identify the next site. The hunt would take participants to White Rock businesses and landmarks, various waterfront locations and more, leisure services director Eric Stepura told council, in recommending the

Dinner deadline The deadline is Dec. 6 to register with Sources Volunteer Services as a helper at this year’s White Rock Community Christmas Dinner. The event, which has taken place at First United Church for more than 30 years, is intended for those who are alone or lonely over the holiday season – or just want to celebrate Christmas in the community. The organizing committee needs everything from chef ’s helpers, table setters servers and decorators, to plate servers, plate scrapers, dishwasher loaders and volunteer drivers.

event’s approval. “It’s a really good opportunity for people to learn a lot about White Rock,” Stepura said. Stepura said the race will be held in addition to other new-to-White-Rock events that made 2013 a busy year, including Irish Heritage Days,

the Moon Festival and International Artist Day. He recommended one other event proposed for White Rock next year be rejected – a weekend-long St. Patrick’s Day Festival suggested by Paul McDonough of Jimmy Flynn’s Celtic Snug. Location is the issue,

Stepura said. The festival was proposed to take place March 15-17 in the parking lot across from the restaurant, in the 15000-block of Marine Drive. In a report, Stepura notes the payparking revenue loss would be “considerable” and that closure of the parking lot “could

have unintended consequences to nearby businesses that rely on proximity parking for their patrons and to pier visitors.” “We feel we cannot support that event just based on the impact it would have on surrounding merchants,” he told council.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Vocal quartet’s nostalgic repertoire reaches out to senior audiences

Swinging along to lively war-era tunes Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

n keeping with this month’s theme of remembrance – although a little after Remembrance Day – an upcoming event at St. Mark’s Anglican Church will present a full concert by vintage close-harmony experts The Lady Larks. Boogie Woogie Bugle Babes (Sunday, Nov. 17, 3 p.m., at the church, 12953 20 Ave.) will include representative elements of the quartet’s tuneful repertoire, with particular emphasis on their tribute to the music of the Andrews Sisters and the swinging hits of the Second World War era. The young group – originally formed in 2010 as The K Sisters – brings together four awardwinning soloists and collaborative musicians with multiple music degrees and a wealth of experience: soprano Caitlin Beaupre, pianist/vocalist Karen Lee-Morlang. mezzo-soprano Jennifer McLaren and soprano Eva Tavares. They’ve won a loyal following in a short time through their highenergy musicianship, sense of humour and lively choreography. The concert is the first of a regular series of St. Mark’s concerts produced by congregation members – and professional singers – Debra Da Vaughn and Christopher Simmons (A Night On Broadway). And proceeds from this particular concert will go to the Anglican Church’s Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund which goes to support relief efforts in areas hit by natural and manmade disasters and crises around the world. And Simmons and Da Vaughn say the Lady Larks performance will strike the right note for a series they hope will become known for high-quality presentations. It follows on three shows they have organized, and performed in, themselves for the church congregation over the last couple of years, starting with a well-received Valentine’s Day concert in 2011.

The Lady Larks will bring their high-energy music and choreography to St. Mark’s Anglican Church for a performance this weekend (Nov. 17). “You just see people’s faces light “The church came to us and said up – this is their kind of music. ‘this is something we’d like to open up to the public,’ “ Da Vaughn said.

Vaughn and Simmons will be back in the spotlight, along with Andy Greenwood, known as the “singing fireman,” and another guest singer yet to be confirmed. “Andy is a battalion chief with the Vancouver Fire Department, but he’s also been performing opera throughout the world – he’s a phenomenal baritone,” said Da Vaughn. The concert will have a slightly different Mothers’ Day theme that focuses on not just the joys but also the sorrows of motherhood, she added. “We also want to recognize mothers who have lost children,” she said.

Simmons said the couple is very conscious of dovetailing what they offer into the existing concertseries landscape. “We’re not by any means trying to compete with White Rock Concerts’ series at the Baptist Church,” Simmons said. “We want to concentrate on local and Canadian artists, and keeping the costs very reasonable,” Simmons said. “The goal with each concert is to have a lovely afternoon of lighthearted entertainment.” Tickets and more information for this weekend’s Lady Larks show ($15) are available by calling 604-535-8841.

Barley returns to Elks The Wheat in the Barley wrap up three months of touring – and 4,000 km of travel – with a homecoming concert at the Elks Club (1469 George St.), 8:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 16. Described as ‘Canadian roots music with a major make-over’ the sixpiece Peninsula-based ensemble takes an eclectic approach to the genre including original songs, ‘warped’ arrangements and impressive instrumental solos. On their first tour last August, stops included Kamloops and Revelstoke, an Irish pub in Edmonton and the Come by the Hills Festival near Wainwright, Alta. This October, Wheat in the Barley covered most of Vancouver Island from Duncan in the south to Port Alberni in the east and Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Port Alice, Sointula and Alert Bay in the north. The final concert in Char’s Landing, Port Alberni was a sentimental homecoming for fiddler Nicole Scoffield who was born and raised there – many of her family members and former teachers attended, including her kindergarten teacher. Admission is $15 for Elks Club members, $18 for the general public (18 and over), and doors open at 8 p.m. For advance tickets, call 604-5384016, or visit www. wheatinthebarley.com

Despite losses, it’s ‘no time to panic’ says head coach

Eagles win once on ‘sloppy’ weekend Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

ast week was not exactly one to remember for the Surrey Eagles, after the junior hockey team won just once in four games, sinking further down the BC Hockey League standings as a result. Last Wednesday, the Eagles dropped a 4-3 decision on the road to the Coquitlam Express, before bouncing back Friday night at South Surrey Arena to beat the Chilliwack Chiefs in a high-scoring 7-6 affair. In the rematch Saturday, however, it was the Chiefs who prevailed, winning 6-4. Then, rounding out the busy week, Surrey dropped a 2-1 decision to the Langley Rivermen in a Remembrance Day matinee. “It would’ve been nice to win two out of three (on the weekend),” Eagles coach/GM Peter Schaefer said Tuesday.

“The two games against the Chiefs were In the rematch Saturday at Chilliwack’s just sloppy all around. Just so many sloppy Prospera Centre, the Chiefs scored two turnovers. But we were better Monday goals in each of the three periods to win against Langley, I thought. That game was 6-4.

quipped “your guess is as good as mine.” “But we’ve got meetings today, and we’ll have some good practices, so we’ll see where they’re at,” he said. After the 1-3 skid, Surrey has a 9-14-1 record and though they still sit fourth in the BCHL’s Mainland Division – where they’ve been for weeks – but are now a full 12 points back of the first-place Rivermen. And despite their position in the division, Schaefer insisted it was no time to worry. “There’s a long way to go yet,” he said. “So it’s no time to panic, but it’s time to start getting some wins.” The Eagles hit the road this weekend for a pair of games in Prince George. The Birds will battle the Spruce Kings – who sit second in the Mainland Division with a 13-7-2-2 record – on Friday night and again on Saturday before returning home.

A chance to move into second place has slipped past the Valley West Hawks.

But the one loss was a 2-1 setback Saturday afternoon in Kamloops against a Blazers team that had

gone winless in their first 12 games of the season. Thompson scored once in each of the first two periods, and hung on for their first victory after defenceman Jamieson Ree of Surrey scored the lone Hawks goal with seven minutes to play. Valley West never trailed in Sunday’s victory in Logan Lake, although a two-goal lead slipped away. Eric Callegari of Langley opened the scoring 11 minutes into the game,

then assisted on a goal from Surrey’s Justin Wilde which made it 2-0. A minute later, the Blazers got on the scoreboard then tied the score 2-2 with their second goal of the game in the last minute of the first period. Spencer Gerth of Langley and White Rock’s Ty Westgard netted goals in the second period. The Blazers got one back in the third, but fell a goal short.

Totems’ run ends The Semiahmoo Totems’ junior boys soccer season came to an end earlier this month, after losing in the first round of Fraser Valley Championships. Semiahmoo lost the Valley tilt to Surrey’s L.A. Matheson, 3-0. The Totems got down by a goal early, but played Matheson even for much of the game after said, said coach/teacher sponsor Paul Langton. In an attempt to tie the game, Semi moved one of their better defenders up to forward, but Matheson scored two late goals to pull away for the victory. The season was the first back on the pitch for a Semi boys soccer side, as the school’s soccer program had been dormant for years due to lack of interest from players.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The CTS model is a lighter car, made of high tensile steel. It is stiffer, safer, handles better, and above all, is more efficient.

Question

Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands 2014 Cadillac CTS One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motor’s flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

Electric vehicles not just for the city dwellers. The Knowles are demonstrating they can serve people outside of major cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but

Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers.

‘‘

People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River. But he and his wife, Catherine, have the last laugh when they open up their Hydro bill. “I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles. “I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way, every day. I never let the battery go below 20 per cent but I still find I can sometimes go four days before I plug it in overnight.” In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers and heater take their energy toll. “We moved from Ladner three and a half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.” But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous B.C. government rebate of $5,000. “We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.” The car charges on what is called a level-one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast chargers, they are contemplating investing in one. Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his experiences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban

then, surely, that’s the case for many rural residents. Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province

insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions.

Remember that your four-wheeldrive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster.

Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Three ďŹ nalists chosen for RenoMe! With FortisBC contest By Kerry Vital

Three British Columbia residents are getting the chance to win $10,000 towards a room makeover with natural gas after being chosen as a finalist in the RenoMe! with FortisBC contest. Over 150 entries were received from all over the province, but the final three were narrowed down to Gayle Curtis of Maple Ridge for her kitchen, Melissa Tolsma of Nanaimo for her outdoor space and Wendy Frose of Chilliwack for her great room. Designer Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. (SGDI) has taken on the outdoor space project, while SGDIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stephanie Malhas will design the great room, and Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design will handle the kitchen. In the next phase of the contest, the three finalists will receive renderings of their space from their designer, and then readers will vote on which one deserves the makeover the most. The room with the most votes will win $10,000 towards their renovation, while the second and third-place finalists will receive $2,000 each. Doise has consulted with Curtis, and has provided a rendering of how she thinks the kitchen could look once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kitchen is in bad shape,â&#x20AC;? says Doise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to give her a better flow between the work spaces and the rest of the room.â&#x20AC;? Curtis calls her kitchen disgusting, gross and old, and says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tired of burning everything she cooks due to a bad stove, so Doise will be incorporating natural gas in the kitchen with a Viking dual-fuel gas range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very simple way to use natural gas,â&#x20AC;? she says. Gas cooktops have long been popular with professional

chefs for their even cooking, precise temperature control and instant heat. Homeowners have increasingly been choosing them for their new and renovated kitchens alike. One of the concerns with the room is the lack of space. In order to combat this, Doise has suggested a movable butcher block island that can be pushed into the pantry wall to open up the space. She notes that currently, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even open the refrigerator without bumping into the existing counter, and opening the dishwasher blocks you from doing anything else in the kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to bring in more light as well,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will look more friendly and inviting.â&#x20AC;? She also plans to incorporate an area for the homeowners to work and study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make it multifunctional,â&#x20AC;? she says. Doise has considered the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastes as well, and would incorporate her likes and dislikes into the final design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make her happy,â&#x20AC;? she says. Malhas is similarly excited about her great room project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People live in their space for so long that they get used to it and have trouble visualizing changing it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that emotional connection to it so I can see the potential in the room and suggest ways to fix it.â&#x20AC;? The current room is the main living area for Froseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in dire need of an update. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time I can get into wood panelling is good,â&#x20AC;? laughs Malhas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will definitely be gone.â&#x20AC;? One of the biggest issues with the room is the current wood-burning fireplace, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t centred in the room and makes for awkward

more energy-efficient and more convenient for homeowners. You no longer have to worry about power outages, since the fireplace doesn’t run on electricity, and there is no more waiting for your fireplace to heat up, since natural gas is available at the push of a button. There

She also plans to give the The space is currently only usable in the warmer months, so she’s hoping to be able to use it yearround if she wins the contest. Among the ideas Gallop has for the yard is a hot tub with an arbor above it. “That will give them a little bit of coverage and privacy,” she says, adding that the hot tub will be heated by natural gas. Gallop also plans to include an outdoor kitchen with natural gas barbecue and a natural gas firepit. A natural gas hot tub is a great idea for homeowners, with its consistent, fast heat and automatic safety shut-off controls for added peace of mind. Swimming pools can also be heated by natural gas. FortisBC notes that a natural gas barbecue can be extremely convenient for homeowners looking for fuel on demand, Sarah Gallop rendering as you’ll never have to deal Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. has envisioned an outdoor space with a natural gas hot tub, natural gas barbecue and with running out of propane natural gas ﬁrepit for Melissa Tolsma of Nanaimo. or charcoal. It also allows you to cook with different temperatures at the same time and control the heat more easily. It also burns cleaner than other fuel sources, making it good for the environment as well. FortisBC offers a energy calculator that will help you compare the cost of fuel sources and their energy efficiency, demonstrating that natural gas is the most affordable choice for homeowners. Find it at www. fortisbc.com/energycalculator. FortisBC natural gas customers are also continuing to benefit from some of the lowest prices in a decade, at under $4 per gigajoule. Firepits are becoming increasingly popular in outdoor spaces, especially for those who want to use their outdoor space Susanne Doise rendering for more than just the summer Susanne Doise of Sensitive Design is aiming to give Gayle Curtis more work space in her cramped kitchen, as well as including a months.

Gallop’s design features several levels to define the different spaces in the yard. “The space looked disconnected before,” she says. “This gives (Tolsma) different zones in the yard while still being connected.” It also makes the space transition a bit better between the casual entertaining area, the hot tub and the rest of the yard. “It’s a pretty straightforward renovation,” Gallop says. “The homeowner will be very happy with it.” To vote, visit your local Black Press paper’s website and click on the Contests link.

OBITUARIES

BARNES, Norma Edith March 4, 1924 - Nov 11, 2013 After a very active, well travelled life, Norma passed peacefully. She will be forever loved and sorely missed by Bertie, her husband of close to 67 years, daughters Liz and Lesley, son-in-law Glen, grandsons Jake and Brian, her brother John (Cathy) of London, England and many friends here and abroad. Norma spent 40 years in the antique & fine art community. Norma was a voracious reader, loved her weekly Scrabble games, enjoyed her Kent St. Friday luncheons. She played tennis up until a few years ago, practiced yoga daily, walked daily along the White Rock seawall. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, a donation to your favourite cause would be appreciated. Our thanks to Dr. Shukin and the caring staff of RCH and Peace Arch Hospital.

Geoffrey is “free”! One of God’s “special children” is now breathing heavenly air in the presence of Jesus. His ‘differently abled’ body and mind are now whole and there are no limits to what he is now able to do. Geoffrey had many challenges and was blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who helped him along the way. Thank you to all who were so supportive during his last week. A special thank you to Helga and to all the amazing staff on 6N at PAH who so lovingly cared for Geoffrey. A Celebration of Life will be held at Peace Portal Alliance Church, South Surrey on November 18, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers please donate to a charity that would benefit people with disabilities.

Redford optimistic over B.C. oil deal Jeff Nagel Black Press

Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she’s optimistic her deal with B.C. Premier Christy Clark will increase the flow of oil west to the Pacific to diversify Canadian energy markets. She spoke last week to the Vancouver Board of Trade after the two premiers unveiled what they called a framework agreement for co-operation on new heavy oil pipelines. “It makes it clear, officially, that Alberta’s royalties are off the table,” Redford said. “The economic benefit cannot be provided or guaranteed by the government of Alberta.” While B.C. won’t ask Alberta to hand over any share of oil royalties or taxes, it can seek to impose its own toll or tax on oil that may flow through a new pipeline, with Alberta’s support.

Clark hasn’t said if a pipeline toll is how B.C. will seek to gain direct benefits to offset its environmental risk and satisfy her fifth condition for new oil pipelines. “That is certainly one example but it may or may not be the one we end up seeing,” Redford said. She stressed the discussion on benefits is one for B.C. to have directly with industry, adding she sees no role for Alberta. Such a charge may reduce the competitiveness of a new B.C. pipeline relative to other pipelines Alberta also wants built to carry its oil south or east, or relative to the shipping of oil by rail. In her speech to business leaders, Redford pointed out 42 per cent of the natural gas produced in B.C. flows through Alberta to get to markets – without any toll being applied by her government. “Our provinces share economic

Only 8 lanes on Port Mann when toll doubles Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Port Mann Bridge still won’t have all 10 lanes open when the toll that most drivers pay doubles to $3 per crossing in a few weeks. Eighty per cent of motorists who use the bridge signed up early enough after it opened in December of 2012 that they’ve been paying $1.50 per crossing thanks to a yearlong 50 per cent discount. That runs out next month, but the

bridge will still have only eight lanes open to traffic until next summer. Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan said that’s how long it’s expected to take to dismantle the old Port Mann Bridge and complete work to connect the final two outer lanes to the bridge approaches. Charging full tolls on schedule is justified, he said, because all the extra lanes of the Highway 1 improvement project other than the bridge itself

will be open in December through Coquitlam and Burnaby. Since that’s where the bottleneck is, Logan said, drivers should notice a huge difference in congestion relief in return for the higher price of using the bridge. “Drivers sail over the bridge right now,” Logan said. “Where they start to slow down is where they enter Coquitlam. So it’s really about being able to provide the full travel time savings.”

Logan wasn’t able to give an exact date for when the discount will expire and the $3 tolls kick in. He said that will only happen when additional lanes through to the Cassiar Tunnel fully open, adding that’s still expected to be sometime in early December. The agreement covering the bridge operations allows tolls to be raised for inflation each year, but Logan said the first such increase that won’t File photo happen before December of 2014. Port Mann tolls to double.

Different types of beach, but all Fishing boat on sandy beach bathed in the calm, warm seawaters of this coastline. Equally attractive is the Algarve’s mild climate all year round. From Odeceixe all the way to Vila Real de Santo António, the entire coast enjoys a Mediterranean-style microclimate with temperatures that vary from 15º C in winter through to 30º C in summer. The beaches of the Algarve thus represent the ideal choice for some truly invigorating holidays!

Gordon predicted. “Police chiefs and mayors all have a great deal at stake. It could very well be a waste of time and money.” Gordon said a separate study is expected to report back soon on the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which is one of the regional integrated police teams that doesn’t have full municipal co-operation. Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver all run their own homicide squads rather than participate in IHIT, out of concerns over both costs and control. Gordon said he fears the IHIT report will result in more “bandaiding” of the existing structure, instead of taking a needed step back to look at how to redesign the entire “totally inefficient” policing system in Metro Vancouver as well as Greater Victoria. According to a provincial report, there has been improved co-operation between police forces over the years through greater use of

integrated police teams and several police-related reforms are being taken in response to Justice Wally Oppal’s inquiry.

Costs concern cities The rising costs of RCMP service remain a big issue for Metro cities. Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said the costs cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP ‘E’ Division headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey are a “huge concern.” RCMP-policed cities have been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment, he said, and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team. Brodie said it adds up to a sudden jump of several hundred thousand dollars in annual RCMP costs for larger cities like Richmond, Burnaby and Surrey. “When you’ve got 20 members on an integrated team, that’s a lot of money.”

IntegrityBC claims ethical lapse taints any reform on farmland reserve

Agriculture Minister Pimm’s staffers contacted Pat Pimm must resign from the ALC once more in cabinet for directly June and twice on lobbying the July 25, when his Agricultural Land ministerial assistant Commission. said Pimm wanted to IntegrityBC know the outcome argues Pimm of the ALC’s crossed a clear reconsideration. line requiring That led the ALC cabinet ministers to issue a July 26 not interfere with policy statement the independence scolding Pimm’s Pat Pimm of judges or agriculture minister representations quasi-judicial as “not commissions like appropriate” the ALC when he urged lest it lead to an the commission over the impression of spring and summer to the commission reverse its decision against being politically allowing a rodeo grounds influenced. and campground as a nonThe ALC also said farm use on a parcel of Fort in its final Aug. 19 St. John farmland in the decision rejecting Agricultural Land Reserve. the rodeo use that “When a minister crosses any MLA who thinks that line, the minister a decision before resigns,” IntegrityBC the ALC is too executive director Dermod significant to leave Travis said. as an independent “He didn’t cross it just decision can try to once. He crossed it a persuade cabinet to multitude of times. take that file out of Pimm first wrote to the the commission’s ALC on the issue May 17 hands. Black Press

It said the ALC exists as an independent entity to avoid basing farmland decisions on “the politically expedient, the crisis of the day or shortterm profit that sacrifice agricultural land forever. “The Commission exists precisely to prevent the British Columbia public waking up one day and asking ‘what happened to our agricultural land.’” Pimm told CKNW Monday he has stopped making direct interventions in files with the ALC, but feels he did nothing wrong

and was merely acting in his advocacy role as an MLA on an issue of local concern. Travis said he clearly continued to act on the file after becoming minister in June. Earlier this year, federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan resigned his post for inappropriately writing a letter in 2011 on behalf of a constituent regarding a case coming before the federal tax court. Travis said Duncan quit quickly and honourably and Premier Christy Clark must

insist Pimm do the same. “If you have ministers running around thinking that it is OK to lobby judges, then we’re going to have a serious problem maintaining the separation of the two institutions.” Travis said Pimm’s interference with the ALC also taints the government’s leaked plans to consider major changes to the commission, including potentially bringing it under the direct control of the agriculture ministry. “Any changes that they

consider will be looked at as Mr. Pimm trying to get back at the Agricultural Land Commission for rapping him on the knuckles,” Travis said. “The entire process is now suspect. The government has no other option at this point but to pull it off the table.” Bill Bennett, the minister in charge of the government’s core review, last week insisted the province isn’t considering dismantling the ALC or bringing it within government.

Man shot by RCMP in Surrey Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A man was in hospital Friday after being shot by police on Thursday evening. Witness Dean Fix was at 148 Street and 108 Avenue just after 4:30 p.m. when he saw a blue police car come “screaming right in with lights flashing” up to another vehicle. Officers got out of their car and drew their weapons, pointing them in the direction of a restaurant. The victim, a 28-yearold man named Michael, told CTV News he had left a donair restaurant where was having dinner with friends when the police vehicle came roaring up. He said he was in the car and heard police yell, “freeze.” Sitting in the back seat, he heard glass shatter, and felt a burning in his chest. He was pulled out of the window by police, and he discovered he’d been shot. Fix said he heard the “pop” of a gun going off, then heard the

screaming of a man saying, “No more shooting.” It’s believed there were three men in the car, and that it was a man in the back seat that was hit by the police bullet. The other two have been taken into custody. Don Brookes was also nearby and heard the bang of a gunshot. He heard what he assumed was the gunshot victim yelling “it hurts.” Brookes said he knows there’s a fair amount of drug activity in the neighbourhood, but says it’s usually pretty quiet. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has been called in to investigate the shooting. Michael told CTV there were no firearms or drugs in the car, only a couple of coolers he was carrying. However, Surrey RCMP have launched a parallel drug investigation resulting from the incident. The investigations continue. -with files from CTV
