Sweet inspection
Enbridge pipeline approved, with 209 conditions
City of Surrey Field Inspections Manager Henry Herbstreit takes a close look at some of the gingerbread houses constructed at Semiahmoo Trail Elementary with Grade 1 students( from left) Zelic Yee, Maya Pinkney and Bernadette Patterson-Ott. After learning about building permits, the students wrote the city’s planning department asking for permission to build the gingerbread homes. Herbstreit stopped by to make sure the icing and candy was up to code.
Federal panel concludes benefits outweigh the risks by Tom Fletcher
A FEDERAL environmental review panel has recommended Enbridge’s Northern Gateway heavy oil pipeline can proceed if 209 conditions on environmental protection are met. After 18 months of submissions from experts and the public, the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel concluded the benefits of a twin pipeline from northern Alberta to a proposed tanker facility at Kitimat outweigh the risks. Its two-volume report was released Thursday in Calgary. “The environmental, societal and economic burdens of a large oil spill, while unlikely and not permanent, would be significant,” the panel concluded in its report. “Through our conditions we require Northern Gateway to implement appropriate and effective spill prevention measures and spill response capabilities, so that the Review panel likelihood and consequences of a large spill would be minimized.” The panel said there would be significant effect on some populations of woodland caribou and grizzly bear, and uncertainty remains over the effectiveness of Enbridge’s plans to minimize the disruption the pipeline would cause. “It is our view that, after mitigation, the likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects resulting from project malfunctions or accidents is very low,” the report states. Conditions include protection plans for whales and other marine mammals, measures to protect caribou and other land animals and development of methods to track and deal with diluted bitumen spills. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver reiterated his position that “no energy project will be approved unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.” The federal cabinet must make a final decision on federal permits for the project by July 2014.
“It is our view that, after mitigation, the likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects.... is very low.”

‘When we look at the truck, we can hear his laugh’ Two years after his murder, Brad McPherson’s family tracks down his pick-up by Sheila Reynolds TODAY MARKS exactly two years since their beloved son, brother, uncle
and friend was taken from them, but this year, Brad McPherson’s loved ones are celebrating having a little piece of him back. It was Christmas Eve 2011 when 28-year-old McPherson was shot to death by a stranger at a house party near 131 Street and 67A Avenue. Police believe he intervened when he witnessed someone being mistreated, and had a gun turned on him. (His alleged killer, Russell Bidesi, was charged with second-degree murder earlier this year). Following McPherson’s death, the family learned that the co-owner of Brad’s 1980 GMC short box truck – his pride and joy – had sold the vehicle just prior to the tragedy. They set about finding it, but few, if any details were known. They had the registration number and VIN (vehicle identification number), but privacy laws prohibited them from tracing the truck’s whereabouts. “We spent the years going to car shows and emailing car clubs and sending pictures out and Facebook-messaging it and trying to bring it into the community,” says Susan Simning, Brad’s mom. Simning scoured Craigslist twice daily, hoping it would pop up, with no luck. Then, she recalls, she “got in a mood one night” and posted the truck again on Facebook, Susan Simning reminding her online friends she was still hoping to find the vehicle. Her friend, Kim Byrnes, reposted the plea on her page. Still, no luck. Then Byrnes searched “GMC short box” on Craigslist and got a hit that looked familiar. She emailed the link to Simning late that night. “We were screaming and jumping down on our beds,” Simning says. Friend Donny Hansen contacted the seller and went to check out the pick-up.
“We spent the years... trying to bring it into the community.”

Brad McPherson and his beloved ‘Emma’ – a 1980 GMC short box truck. Simning was at work when she got Hansen’s text message: “It’s Emma!”. Emma was the name McPherson had given his four-wheeled treasure. “He always said ‘one day when I have a baby girl, I’m going to name her Emma.’ Brad’s truck was his baby girl,” says his mom. Simning bawled upon seeing the truck, which she bought and says will now be used only for special occasions and car shows. Though this will be the third Christmas without Brad, this holiday season will be a little brighter, Simning says. “It’s a piece of Brad that we now have back. It’s very much a piece of my son. Every time we start it, we can hear his laugh and feel his joy.” The public will get to see Emma at the second-annual Burnouts in the Sky show-and-shine event in honour of Brad next summer. And Simning wants to express her gratitude to the man who took care of Emma until they could bring her home. “Thank you and God bless you.”

Pipeline will hit wall: Critics
INGSTONE LIVDenture Clinic

Environmental groups and First Nations vow to fight Enbridge together by Jeff Nagel ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS and
First Nations quickly condemned the National Energy Board’s recommendation to approve the Northern Gateway oil pipeline project and predicted it will never be built. Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs president Grand Chief Stewart Philip said the battle will likely move into the courtrooms as First Nations mount legal challenges to Enbridge’s project – assuming it is approved in the months ahead by the federal government. “This is about the environmental integrity of the watersheds we all share and we are willing to go to any lengths to defend our watersheds,” he said. “We are prepared to go to the wall against this project. We have no choice.” Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee called it a reckless, foolish, disappointing decision that will run into a wall of opposition in B.C. “It’s going to be tied up in courts for many, many, many
years,” said Barlee. “Environmental organizations will be standing with First Nations and standing with the hundreds of thousands of other British Columbians who oppose this project and don’t want to see it proceed.” Barlee said the recommendation of approval flies in the face of a newly released federal report that flagged an insufficient capability to respond to an oil spill on the coast. “This is a project that’s dangerous to our climate, dangerous to our coast and dangerous to our rivers and our salmon,” she said. “We vow to stand shoulder to shoulder with First Nations, and the thousands of others who oppose this project,” said Murray Minchin of Kitimat-based Douglas Channel Watch, which was an
Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline proposal has attracted many protests, including this one Oct. 7 at the B.C. legislature.
B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said approval by the federal panel meets one of its five conditions, but doesn’t change the province’s position against the pipeline until its other four are met. They include satisfying legal obligations to consult and accommodate aboriginal communities and developing “world leading” safety and spill response on land and at sea. “Now we have Alberta’s agreement for the five conditions, the federal government is talking about the importance of weighing the environment in the balance, and even Enbridge is talking about the importance of the environment in this equation,” Polak said. “We believe we’ve made progress in highlighting the very important steps that are going to need to be taken … but we need to see evidence that this work is going to be achieved.” Janet Holder, Enbridge’s project leader for Northern Gateway, said the company will work to meet the federal panel conditions, and those laid down by the B.C. government. Northern Gateway has reached equity partnership agreements with 26 aboriginal communities along the pipeline route, but many others remain opposed.
“The Yinka Dene Alliance has clearly refused permission for Enbridge’s pipelines to

HEART OF THE HOLIDAY
Christmas magic
RAESIDE
S
ome people say the magic ends when you come to learn the dark truth about Santa Claus and realize there isn’t some benevolent old man manufacturing toys in the polar cap’s winter darkness. It can be disappointing to later flip over your Santa-delivered toy and realize it was stamped out in China at 10 cents a unit and marked up by 1,000 per cent at the mall where mom and dad bought it. Speaking of malls, you might feel the fool for having told all those Santas with the clip-on beards and pregnancy pillows your materialistic wishes in the belief you were getting an exclusive with the big man. And then there was the waiting and wondering on the night before Christmas, when you strained to hear the sleigh bells or pitter-patter of rooftop ungulates patiently waiting for the next delivery. You’d wake up in the morning after having failed to catch him in the act and your stocking would be stuffed full of surprises! And when you’re at an age when the number 100 may as well be 100 million, you’re not skeptical he was able to circumnavigate the globe, passing through 24 time zones and 200 nations in that time. Does Santa visit the Republic of Vanuatu, too? Of course he does, sweetie. Now open your presents. Yes, the magic of Santa might be gone now that you’re all grown up, but that doesn’t mean the magic of Christmas has to disappear. The most magical part of Christmas begins late on the evening of Dec. 24. The mad commercial rush is over and every last-minute shopper has gone home with either their hasty present or their guilty shame. A quiet descends over the neighbourhood, over the town, over the entire country. The streets are empty. Families are together. The magical part is that everybody stops the madness and insanity that is everyday life for a good 24 hours and, like air escaping a balloon, decompresses, relaxes, and simply enjoys the moment. There is a peaceful hue that surrounds us and for a brief time we forget about work, we forget about the news, we forget about the banality of sports, and we remember why we’re really here. We remember, beyond the great social construct that is our post-industrial 21st century civilization, that what truly matters hasn’t changed since the dawn of life on Earth: Family, love and friendship.

ne of Canada’s great entrepreneurial success stories in recent years is WestJet, the Calgary-based airline that is expanding across the country and taking on European routes. Clive Beddoe, the founding CEO of Westjet, was famous for helping the cabin crew tidy up the plane before getting off a flight. And the company is also known for its profit-sharing program, with all employees referred to as “owners” who have a stake in the success of the operation. I thought of this management approach when news emerged that the B.C. government was offering public service unions a new kind of contract, with a five-year term and wage increases tied to improved economic growth. The surprising thing is that unions are accepting the idea, even though provincial growth must exceed the government’s independent economic forecast council projections before it can take effect in a given year. The generally non-militant Health Sciences Association was the first to recommend

A classic confrontation is brewing between the Harper government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada. A key dispute is over sick days, which the government estimates are averaging 18 a year. PSAC currently has 15 “bankable” sick days a year, which the union president refers to as a “negotiated right.” It takes me back to my first union job, where I was warned never to take just one sick day. We negotiated for two at a time, so always take two, the union rep told me. Implicit in this is the mindset that employees should give as little and take as much as possible. Looking through my files each December for the B.C. story of the year, I consider what is likely to matter five or 10 years from now. This partnership approach to building the provincial economy is my pick for 2013. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

A gift of Thanks, Surrey Christmas Bureau kindness from Peter I AM a disabled older woman living
A GENTLEMAN recently came into our thrift store and asked to speak to a manager. Larry went out to speak with him. He said that he would like to donate an hour’s worth of shopping for someone as his donation to the store. As customers went to the till to purchase their items, Helene – the cashier – would tell them that Santa was in the store and their purchase was free. Customers hugged her, they cried and were astonished at the kindness. After an hour of shopping the gentleman gave a donation of $273. All we know is his name is Peter. He did not want any recognition for the gift, just to know that it helped out some people. He stayed in the store and watched the reactions, and it gave everyone who worked a sense of the meaning of the season: kindness and helping each other. We were all touched by this story and wish we could thank this man for his kindness and know that it made someone very happy.

in low-income housing Surrey. This year I heard from a few of my neighbours how the Surrey Christmas Bureau has helped them and I am so impressed and inspired. These two families work so hard in our community – one is a single male earner in a family of six, the other is a single mom who works at a food court. They were in tears telling me how they received a Save-on-Foods gift card for groceries and were able to pick two things each for the children. When I saw the recipients firsthand and up close, I truly realized what a huge help and blessing to economically stressed families the Christmas bureau is. I just want to say thank you to all of you who support this program in all the ways that it takes to bring this very precious help to these desperately needy, wonderful people. Bravo to all involved in making each member of our community feel cared for and supported. I plan to gather what I can during 2014 to support this very lovely worthy cause. Thank you to the Surrey Christmas Bureau.

Police say Oun was known to them, and a search of his criminal history shows he was involved in street-level drug activity. He was never charged for a criminal act of violence. “This homicide is

identified the man murdered in west Whalley last week as 23-year-old Phillip Oun. Oun, a resident of Surrey, was found at 124 Street and 102 Avenue on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at about 11 a.m. near railroad tracks. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) initially classified the death as suspicious, but after an autopsy, determined it
believed to have been a targeted attack and IHIT investigators along with the Surrey RCMP have resources in place and are working to determine the motive for the killing,” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of IHIT. Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy said leading a criminal life is bound to end badly, adding the “likelihood of ending up dead in a ditch or in jail” is inevitable.

Women hurt as store robbed RCMP hunting for young male after ‘despicable act’
from the register. The suspect fled from the store with about $100 and a few packs of cigarettes. The suspect is described as a white male, between 20-30 years old, with a slim
build, approximately 5’8”, and wearing dark pants and a dark hoodie with the word “Brooklyn” written on it in gold writing. The two female employees, aged 51 and 57 years old, are

Oppal reflects on year since Missing Women Inquiry Report needs a new champion, says Ernie Crey by Jeff Nagel THE HEAD of B.C.’s Missing
Women Inquiry says he’s pleased with some of the actions taken in the year since he released 65 recommendations aimed at protecting vulnerable women from a future serial killer. But Commissioner Wally Oppal told Black Press he wants much more done, particularly with his recommendation of creating a regional police force for Metro Vancouver. Oppal acknowledges various improvements in policing since botched, badly coordinated investigations let serial killer Robert Pickton stalk addicted sex-trade workers in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for years until his arrest in 2001. “They have more regional cooperation and they have better communications,” Oppal said, citing improved police databases, the regional Integrated Homicide Investigation Team and other integrated teams. “But still the present patchwork of policing really makes no sense,” he said. “The evidence was quite clear – if we’d had a regional police force a number of murders would have been prevented.” The mix of municipal police forces and RCMP detachments across the region was one of his main targets for reform but several Metro mayors have resisted any change, fearing a regional force might mean less local control over policing or less coverage if officers

POLICE ARE asking for public help in tracking down a man who assaulted a pair at a Surrey convenience store while he robbed it. On Nov. 23, at about 4:30 p.m., a man entered a convenience store at 99 Avenue near 120 Street and browsed aisles until customers left. He then rushed behind the check-out counter, pushing two employees to the ground, breaking one of their noses. He threatened the other employee and proceeded to stuff cigarette packages into a plastic bag. He then assaulted the first employee again by kicking her and demanding cash
recovering from their injuries. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet described it as “a despicable act on two people from our community who were just doing their job.” To view video surveillance video of the suspect, go to http:// bit.ly/1jn8hdp Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 and quote file #2013-155477, or if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Fees sway most smart meter holdouts More than 48,000 customers choose new technology over monthly reading charge by Tom Fletcher BC HYDRO’S imposition
WEEK BLITZ VISIT ALL 140 STORES AT CENTRAL CITY
FOR INCREDIBLE SAVINGS!
of manual meter reading fees has persuaded most holdouts to accept a wireless smart meter. BC Hydro imposed a $35 monthly fee starting Dec. 1 for customers who refuse to part with their mechanical electricity meters, after offering the 68,000 customers who still had them the option of accepting the new meter with the radio transmission function on or off. BC Hydro reported the results last week to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC), which is reviewing the fees. More than 48,000 customers chose the smart meter to avoid the meter reading fee. Another 450 chose the radio-off meter, which comes with a $100 setup fee and $20 a month starting April 1 to cover costs of collecting readings. Another 6,270 customers chose to keep their mechanical meters, and 13,110 more did not respond to BC Hydro’s letters, so they will have the $35 fee added to their bills until they choose another option. BC Hydro reports that 99 per cent of its customers now have the wireless meter. Most of those have been switched to
automated billing, and have their daily electricity use displayed on their online account pages. Claims of health effects from wireless meter transmissions have been rejected by health authorities, and also by the BCUC in a review of FortisBC’s wireless meter program. BCUC found that the radio frequency signal from a bank of smart meters is less than 10 per cent of the natural background level, and a tiny fraction of the exposure from a cellular phone. Citizens for Safe Technology, one of the more active opponents of the wireless grid, was represented at the FortisBC hearings by Donald Maisch. BCUC rejected Maisch’s claims of health hazards, noting that Maisch’s “consulting livelihood depends on public fears and concerns about radio frequency exposure.”

here, Surrey RCMP are reminding residents about crime prevention tips to ensure that the Grinch doesn’t end up ruining your holidays. They include: • Impaired driving The consequences of impaired driving are massive, including the risk of the life on the offending driver and others. In addition to that, the drunk driver can be charged criminally affecting the accused along with his or her family and friends. That’s why the Surrey RCMP and its partners step up enforcement efforts throughout the holidays including road checks at various locations to stop impaired drivers. There are many options available to get home safely including public transit, taxi, designated driver, or Operation Red Nose. Police also attend more calls regarding under-age drinking during the holidays. This also serves as a reminder for parents to always know where their kids are and who they’re going to be with, and if you are the host of an event where there is underage drinking or drinking that results in criminal behaviour you could be held responsible. • Robberies Young adults are at a higher risk of personal robberies at this time of year as many receive new phones and electronics for Christmas. Police are reminding everyone to be extra vigilant with their personal property and to be aware of their environment. If you are a victim, remain calm, cooperate with the robber’s demands, and try to note what they look like and their direction of travel. Call 911 as soon as it is safe to do so. • Thefts When out shopping or visiting, remove all
bags and valuables from your vehicle or keep them out of sight. The Surrey RCMP recently completed an auto crime prevention campaign reminding citizens to “protect, lock, and keep” their valuables as police generally see a rise in theft from auto during the fall/winter months. In addition, be sure to engrave your valuables and properly secure them in your home. Dispose the packaging from big ticket items carefully and shred all receipts to reduce further enticing thieves. Check your mail daily and be aware of when courier packages will be dropped off. If you are going on vacation, notify your neighbours and remember to install the proper alarms and anti-theft devices when you leave.
• Frauds/Scams Online shopping has increased dramatically over the past few years and, as such, so has the need to protect yourself from scams and other fraudulent online activity. Always verify the validity of a website before providing credit card information online and be cautions of unsolicited emails If you are buying a pre-owned mobile phone, it’s also a good idea to ensure it has not been reported lost or stolen at www.ProtectYourData.ca. Door-to-door scams are also common at this time of year and police are reminding the public to keep an eye on suspicious persons who come to their doors claiming to be from a charity or association and to report them. Always ask for proper identification and, if in doubt, contact the alleged organization. Local food banks do not canvass door to door.

he final tally is in for the Surrey RCMP’s winter edition of Pack the Police Car. Along with their partners from the Surrey Fire Services, police raised more than a half-ton of food and $1,800 in cash for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program and Surrey Food Bank in just four hours. “The generosity of our community was on full display again during this one day fundraising campaign,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet. “This time of year is very tough on families, especially those less fortunate, and we can all help ease this stress by ensuring that no one goes hungry this holiday season.” The Surrey RCMP’s Youth Unit also helped local high school students provide Christmas dinners to low income families. Thanks to a partnership with the Surrey Christmas Bureau and a major retail chain, the Youth Unit also accompanied a number of underprivileged youth as they shopped for groceries and Christmas presents for their families. For more information and to donate visit pacific Surrey RCMP Community Safety officers, volunteers, community.ca/ministries/cloverdale-hamper-program and Surrey firefighters, Hillcrest Mall representatives, and www.surreyfoodbank.org Santa outside PriceSmart Foods in Cloverdale.
Blanket coverage FOR DOZENS OF local charities and the people they help, the Nov. 18-25 timing of this year’s Realtors Care Blanket Drive couldn’t have been better. For the 19th year in a row, realtors collected enough donations of coats, blankets, sleeping bags and warm clothing to help more than 20,000 people as the mercury plummeted. Surrey charities that benefitted are Surrey Memorial Hospital, Hyland House, NightShift Street Ministries, and Surrey Urban Mission). In Surrey, a total of 341 bags of donations were collected – an increase of 13 per cent compared to last year.
Surrey volunteer Billie Semak helps load up donations to this year’s Realtors Care Blanket Drive, a collection for the needy in the area.
A regular beneficiary of the blanket drive is Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Patient Resource Department. Every year, the hospital receives winter coats to give to patients who need them. “It’s really, really helpful. We could never have enough coats on hand without the Realtors Care Blanket Drive,” said Sharon Frizell, Surrey Memorial Hospital’s manager of volunteer resources. “Especially at this time of year, there are some people we care for who do not have adequate clothing for the cold weather.” The Dr. Peter Centre, one of Vancouver’s recipient blanket drive charities, offers health programs and long-term and supportive housing to individuals with HIV/ AIDS requiring specialized care.
SECTION CO-ORDINATOR: BOAZ JOSEPH (PHONE 604-575-2744)
“With the cold snap, the donation of blankets, gloves, and warm clothing mean so much to our clients,” said Maxine Davis, executive director of the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation. “Some of the recipients have shared with us that their living conditions are very cold right now, so these items were put to immediate use.” Volunteer realtors pick up, sort and deliver donations dropped off by colleagues, clients, the public, corporations, retailers, community groups and schools. The drop-off locations are real estate offices spread across the region, between Whistler and Hope. Since 1994, the blanket drive has assisted more than 225,000 people. Visit blanketdrive.ca

Panto for a hectic holiday Cinderella at the SAC the perfect oasis from chaos by Alex Browne CINDERELLA, which
opened at the Surrey Arts Centre Friday, is guaranteed to be a welcome interlude in the hectic Christmas schedule – a family-oriented oasis of all the colourful costumes and sets, cheery players, antique shtick and groaner gags for which pantomime is known. But it’s also a milestone for its creator, Ellie King, managing artistic director of the Royal Canadian Theatre Company. It’s been 25 years since King – a veteran of British panto productions from childhood – staged her first Canadian version, Sinbad the Sailor, at Vancouver’s Metro Theatre in 1988. Since then the Christmas pantomime tradition – once almost exclusively based in White Rock – has caught on with theatre companies throughout the Lower Mainland, and King’s own original scripts have been licensed and performed all over B.C.

This year’s show – which runs in Surrey Dec. 20-29, then goes on to usher in the new year at the ACT Theatre, Maple Ridge (Jan. 2-5) – is a panto perennial. “Cinderella is the most popular pantomime of all the pantomimes, above all others – there are literally hundreds of them,” King said, adding this marks the third production of her version (following shows in 1998 and 2007). “I don’t know quite why – maybe it’s the ragsto-riches element – making good and beating the odds. “It’s also the only panto that has two ‘dames’ in it – and, occasionally, three,” she said, referring to the hard-done-by Cinders’ eternal nemeses, her wicked stepmother and two less-than-appealing stepsisters – usually played, in panto tradition, by men in absurdly over-the-top drag. “Sometimes the stepmom is played by a man, too, but two men and a woman (RCTC regular Kerri Norris as Grimelda Stoneybroke) playing in combination I think is the best.” Appearing as sisters Atrocia and Deplorabelle are RCTC favourite Alan Cedargreen and newcomer Mark Manning. “He’s very, very good,” noted King. “Very front and centre.” Other regulars of King’s panto stock company on hand are King’s husband, Geoff, as musical director keyboardist with percussionist Sheila Rebelato: Norris’ husband, Stephen Elcheshen, reprising his role as Buttons the page, who’s Cinders’ only human friend (two young Elcheshens, daughters Aeron and Cayleigh are also in the cast); and King’s son, James, in his accustomed role as the Demon King, representative of the forces of evil. Ready to battle him for supremacy is Erin Coon – last year’s principal boy in Robinson Crusoe – as the Fairy Godmother. Coon won King’s approbation by heeding the director’s advice that the fairy is also a “tough broad.” “She came out to audition with a Jersey accent,” King laughed. See PANTO / Page 16

soprano – a musical theatre grad from Capilano College. She’s adorable and quite funny, too – more Disney than Disney.” Jeremy Glass, last year’s King Neptune, is back as Cinderella’s befuddled father, Baron Stoneybroke, while the show’s two girl-boys, Prince Charming and his major domo Dandini are played by Andie Francis and Jackie Bruce. Other historic traditions linger in King’s version, including an exchange that’s been in versions of show since the 19th century (“Your foot wouldn’t fit in the crystal slipper!” “You’re foot wouldn’t fit in Crystal Palace!”) and the transformation scene at the end in which principals sport resplendent finale costumes (“it’s the only remaining piece of the Harlequinade,” King noted). But other elements are right up to date, she adds – including topical gag lines that are always a popular part of pantomimes. “Obviously we’re going to hit Rob Ford, and Stephen Harper and the Senate scandal – and the current state of the roads.” For full performance times, dates, and to purchase tickets, visit rctheatreco.com

Welcome to the driver’s seat
There are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6. Zack Spencer
Visit the Honda Accord Coupe photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca
Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time. Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this. Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations. One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling. In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not replaced with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6. Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada. Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),
which are both 4-cylinder way the radio stores and equipped models. The top retrieves pre-set radio trim is the EX-L Navi with stations. It took a long V6. This top trim level is the time to set the stereo model seen here: it comes up and having to go with LED projector headback and forth between lamps, 18-inch wheels and different screens is not duel chrome exhaust tips. If you like the idea that intuitive. The rest of The 4-cylinder equipped the dash is large, with big models come with halogen of a smart looking car cup holder and plenty of headlamps and 17-inch storage areas. that is well equipped alloy wheels.

Zack Spencer alloy wheels, the price is Drive Another trend almost identical. The EX-L that Honda is bucking, with this Accord is $30,100 for the leather and navi and Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an manual transmission and V6 engine. The inexpensive car but most are very well latest movement is to turbo or superequipped. charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6

Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small. Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats. Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class. There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials. One area that could be improved is the
power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylinder models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel savings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The
V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway. Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission. I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most companies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now. Soon Honda will have smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

Hawks to play at Mac’s Boxing Day Sale! Major Midget team will play next weekend in Calgary by Rick Kupchuk THE VALLEY West Hawks won’t
get much of a break from the BC Hockey Major Midget League schedule. After facing off against the South Island Royals last weekend (Dec. 21-22) at the Langley Events Centre, they will begin play Friday in Calgary at the 36th annual Mac’s Midget AAA tournament. The prestigious tournament annually features the top male and female Midget AAA teams from Western Canada, as well as the United States and Europe. Only the top 25 male teams and 15 female teams are selected to compete each year, chosen from a list of entries based on each
team’s performance during the current season. Valley West, which includes 15-17 year-old players from the Semiahmoo, Langley, Surrey and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, was among six teams from B.C. invited to play in the Mac’s tournament. They are currently 15-8-1 (won-lost-tied) in league play, and are third in the 13-team provincial league. Also invited to play at the Mac’s are the first-place Okanagan Rockets (20-3-1), Vancouver Giants (18-3-1), Vancouver Chiefs (11-9-4), Cariboo Cougars (9-13-2) and South Island Royals (8-13-3). The Hawks have been placed in Pool 3, along with the Calgary
Royals, the Alaska Junior Aces, the Prince Albert Mintos and the SSAC (Edmonton) Athletics. The first-place team from each of the five pools along with three wild-card teams qualify for the eight-team playoff round. In the Alberta Midget Hockey League, the Calgary Royals are second among nine teams in the Chrysler (South) Division with a 15-6-3 record, while the SSAC Athletics are tied for fifth in the Dodge (North) Division at 11-8-3. The Prince Albert Mintos are currently in second place in the 12-team Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League at 18-6-4. Scores and standings are available online at http://macstournament.ab.ca

GARRETT JAMES PHOTO
Surrey Eagles forward Brett Mulcahy protects the puck from Prince George forward Matt Painchaud during a Dec. 19 game. streak, and sit in the cellar of the division, 16 points back of the Birds. On Thursday, neither the Eagles nor Spruce Kings managed much offence in the opening period; neither team scored, and the shots were just 7-5 in favour of the visiting team. Action picked up in the second period, however, as captain
Brett Mulcahy staked his team to a 1-0 lead just 1:59 into the frame. Russell, on the power play, doubled the home side’s cushion to 2-0 just under 10 minutes later, with Luke Sandler and Jonah Renouf adding assists. Less than two minutes after Russell’s goal, Prince George replied when Jake LeBrun beat Didur to make it 2-1, but Russell’s second goal 1:19 later restored Surrey’s two-goal lead. Prince George’s Jeremiah Luedtke made it 3-2 before the second intermission. In the third, Nathan Renouf scored at the 2:17 mark, and Mitch Eden tallied for the visitors before Eagles’ leading goal-scorer Nic Pierog – who now has 23 goals on the season – added an empty-netter to salt away the game. Not only did Pierog’s late marker give him the team-lead in goals – one better than Mulcahy’s 22 – but it also put him third in BCHL goalscoring heading into the holiday break. The only players who’ve lit the lamp more than Pierog this season are Salmon Arm’s Landon Smith and Penticton’s Brad McClure, who had 30 and 28 goals, respectively. The Eagles return to the ice this Saturday, when they host the Chilliwack Chiefs at South Surrey Arena at 7 p.m. On Sunday, they’ll head down the highway to Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre for a 5 p.m. rematch.
