Birch Bay, WA, USA …Birch Bay is only 2.5 miles across but has over 19 miles of marine shoreline and because e it a shallow bay…the water is warm and the beachcombing and clamming go on forever. In fact the Lummi called this area Straf-a-wa which means “the place for the clams.”
Over 50% of all the housing at Birch Bay is “seasonal” with the majority of this being Canadian ownership! It is an eclectic mix of cottages, condos, and RV parks and has activities all year long including Polar Bear swims, running races, parades, fireworks, sandcastle contests, and music festivals. But it is the beach that has long attracted Canadians…where you can walk for miles when the tide is out. Both Semiahmoo Resort and Blaine are just a few minutes away and offer great boat moorage options. One of the areas merchants has become a local icon, and the building has been around since the 1920’s…the C Shop…appropriately named for the candy and ice cream available in large varieties! And The Tides will be a great “base camp” for exploring everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
The Tides cottages
The Tides cottages are located in position “A” in Birch Bay…on a sunny plateau just above the beach and only a one-minute walk to the C shop!

The Tides boasts over 11 acres of land with over 7 of it set aside in a conservation easement for parks, trails and even has a stream. Most of the cottages back onto this quiet forested setting and the stream.When you arrive at The Tides, you will immediately be welcomed by a well appointed clubhouse with a swimming pool and hot tub.

Rail safety touted by retiring mayor as South Surrey-White Rock’s number-one issue
Watts to seek federal seat for Tories Kevin Diakiw Black Press
In what is perhaps a surprise to no one, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts will be running for the federal Conservatives in South Surrey and White Rock. Watts revealed the news to Black Press in her first sit-down interview on the subject Tuesday afternoon under the condition that it not be made public until Wednesday afternoon.
Watts said earlier this year she would not run again for mayor of Surrey, but kept her future plans quiet. Until now. The popular three-term mayor will be running in the riding of South Surrey-White Rock (which will be renamed from the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale riding in a redistribution before the 2015 election) for the federal Conservatives.
The riding has been a right-wing stronghold since the early 1970s, with current Tory MP Russ Heibert announcing in February he would not be running for a fifth term. Watts describes herself as a small “c” Conservative with a well-developed social conscience. She said she was not offered, nor did she ask for, a cabinet post to run for the Conservatives. i see page 8

Hepner pledges to relocate trains Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
With the Nov. 15 civic election barely two months away, Surrey mayoral hopeful Linda Hepner says she wants voters to be clear on where she and other Surrey First candidates stand on relocating the BNSF rail line. It’s important for people to know “where to put their mark on the ballot,” Hepner said. “I am committed.” Hepner – backed by Coun. Judy Villeneuve and council hopefuls Mike Starchuk, Dave Woods and Vera LeFranc – made a pledge to focus on rail relocation Tuesday morning at

a media event staged near the Beecher Street railway crossing in Crescent Beach. It followed a weekend meeting with White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who on Sept. 8 was supported by his council to direct city staff to initiate the process and application to relocate the century-old line from the waterfront, via the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act. Hepner, who lives in South Surrey’s Elgin neighbourhood, said her biggest concern with the trains is safety: there is no access or egress to Crescent Beach whenever a train rolls by or breaks down in that area, and she questions how many more heavy, long trains the bluffs can take.

“These trains are now completely isolating an entire community,” Hepner said, to applause from the crowd of more than 50. “I am simply not convinced that the slope is not being compromised.” The event had been announced by area residents the day before as Surrey council announcing support for rail relocation, however, the event was a rally by Surrey First candidates. Hepner promised that, if elected mayor, she would immediately engage railway owner BNSF in discussions to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster and safer inland route. i see page 4
The body of an “unresponsive younger person” was found Tuesday evening in Surrey, and police are treating the death as suspicious. Police say Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit is investigating after officers dispatched to the 14600-block of 66 Avenue at approximately 7 p.m. Sept. 16 confirmed a deceased individual had been located. “The exact cause of death is unknown at this time,” a news Cpl. Bert Paquet release issued Surrey RCMP late Tuesday night by Staff Sgt. M.A. Hedderson states. While police are expecting to share more information, few details had been released by Peace Arch News’ press deadline Wednesday afternoon, including the identity of the deceased. “We can’t say anything about this found body until this one last piece of investigation has been completed,” Cpl. Bert Paquet told PAN. – Tracy Holmes

Classes in session Monday if teachers support tentative agreement
Schools ‘ready to hit the ground running’ Sheila Reynolds & Tom Fletcher Black Press
After an extended summer break, kids and teens could finally be filing into schools in Surrey and White Rock Monday, if a tentative agreement with teachers is ratified by union members and boards of education today and tomorrow. B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) members were scheduled to vote Thursday on a proposed six-year deal that was struck early Tuesday morning after marathon negotiations with the aid of mediator Vince Ready. School boards have been asked to complete their ratification votes by Friday. Surrey had a professional development day scheduled for Monday, but has decided to
reschedule it so school can get rolling. As would normally have happened three weeks ago when school was to start Sept. 2, the first day back will be a partial day as enrolment is set and classes are sorted. Parents can check individual school websites for start times if school resumes Monday. Tuesday would mark the first full day, except for kindergarten students, who begin school on a gradual entry schedule. “We’re ready to hit the ground running,” said Surrey School District communications manager Doug Strachan. “There might be a few bumps as we get things going again… but we’re anxious to welcome students back, teachers as well, and get on with the school year.”
Acceptance of the teachers’ deal would mark the end of a bitter strike that cancelled school at the end of June and delayed the September start by three weeks. BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the tentative agreement provides for “hundreds of new teachers” as well as raises for regulator and substitute teachers and improved extended health benefits. The agreement also includes “a mutually agreed process to address any future court decision,” with the government’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size and teacher staff levels set to go to appeal in October, he said. Premier Christy Clark thanked parents for their patience as the strike dragged into the fall, saying a negotiated settlement was the
only way to improve a relationship that has been dysfunctional for 30 years. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said a plan is being developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling winter holidays, spring break or adding days to the end of the school year. In a letter Wednesday to Surrey parents, Surrey Supt. Jordan Tinney said it was “unlikely” the length of the school day would be adjusted. “Surrey already has extended days where overcrowding in some schools makes this a necessity,” he wrote, referring to Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries. He said no decision has been made about the scheduled two-week spring break.

Dozens pack city hall to address proposed apartment building
Neighbours speak out at White Rock hearing Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Residents opposed to rezoning a Thrift Avenue lot to clear the way for a six-unit concrete apartment building say White Rock officials shouldn’t even consider the application until the proponents come back with a design for a five-unit project. It was, after all, what the applicants had been told to do, said Hazel Stack, reminding council of earlier decisions regarding a proposal for 14937 Thrift Ave. “The expectation was the deferral was until the person came back with five units, not six,” said Stack. Stack was among dozens of residents who packed city hall last week for a public hearing on the rezoning, which, if approved, would redesignate the lot as a medium-density, comprehensivedevelopment zone, and increase maximum allowable density to 50
units per acre from 24. It is currently zoned RS-1 (oneunit residential). Director of development services Karen Cooper told council the proponent has addressed all of the concerns noted by residents – including traffic congestion, height and parking – since it was first introduced last fall as a seven-unit townhouse project with roof decks. The six-unit apartment design was presented to citizens at a June 25 public-information meeting. Cooper said the building’s density is consistent with other developments in the area and the concrete design will result in a longerlasting structure. It will offer “an alternate form of housing not otherwise available,” she said. She made a point of explaining that densities in the area – the Everall Neighbourhood Area – are intended to vary.

Residents pack council chambers. “The Everall Neighbourhood is an area that the Official Community Plan anticipates will be quite considerably developed, from a single-family neighbourhood to a neighbourhood that has quite a complete range of housing types,” she said. So far, that density ranges from 19.3 to 23.9 units per acre (upa). Cooper said while the density
calculation for the proposed concrete building (26.7 upa) appears to exceed what’s allowed, “when you add it into the mix of all the units, you still receive for the area… 21.8 units per acre.” Of 12 people who spoke at the public hearing, two voiced support: project architect Gerry Blonski, and Rob Elliott, a 35-year White Rock resident who said he has sold real estate in the city. Elliott described the proposed units as “something that people are looking for” in White Rock, where land is difficult to afford. Regarding six units versus five, Blonski said he doesn’t believe the additional unit will have much of an impact on the neighbourhood. And, “we won’t be having any effect on traffic here at all.” Stack and others who voiced opposition said the plan does not fit well with the neighbourhood
and should not be allowed to take up the “leftover” density of surrounding developments. Aroon Shah criticized council for considering amendments to the OCP. It happens too often, and so do mistakes, he said. The plan is supposed to “be a guideline, a rule or law,” he said. “I keep on hearing… ‘oops, we made a mistake.’ We need to close the loopholes, for the sake of the city.” Scott Kristjanson, who ran for council in the 2011 election, said he opposed the project on the grounds it does not follow the OCP. “Your job is to make sure we have a community we enjoy and can live in,” he said. Council later that evening voted to defer making a decision on the bylaw amendment until the next meeting, set for Sept. 29.

Unfair to give false hope: Rasode i from page 1 Should that fail, Surrey First will work with the City of White Rock to use the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act, she said. Rail safety and relocation of the line off of the South Surrey/White Rock coastline have been hot topics on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, especially this past year, ever since Quebec’s Lac MĂŠgantic derailment in July 2013 and, closer to home, the death of a jogger on East Beach tracks a week later. Critics have cited issues ranging from dangerousgoods shipments and increased coal dust, to pedestrian safety, beach access and noise pollution. Residents who turned out for Hepner’s announcement questioned her on alternate route options, the city’s relationship with Transport Canada, quelling train whistles and if five years – as suggested by Baldwin last week – is a reasonable timeframe. Hepner said five years is “probably realistic if not optimistic,â€? and that city engineers are discussing routing. Hepner said that when it comes to the trains, public safety is her top priority. “I know that a strong economy needs the bedrock of business,â€? she said. “This is about safety. Absolutely nothing trumps safety. We need to urge the federal government and the railway to work with us to solve this problem.â€? Four options for track realign-
ment – all in the City of Surrey – were presented by Mayor Dianne Watts, Surrey First’s founder, at a community forum in South Surrey last fall, however Hepner wouldn’t discuss alternate routes Tuesday, saying her aim was to talk about why relocation is increasingly important. “We weren’t talking options today,â€? she told Peace Arch News, acknowledging she hasn’t always backed relocation. “In the past, I was not certain the frequency (of the trains) warranted it.â€? Last fall, after Watts’ Nov. 26 forum, Hepner was more wary of the likelihood of rail relocation. She said in an interview that the idea of a “Utopiaâ€? without tracks on the waterfront has come up repeatedly since she was first elected to council in 1985, and that without BNSF support, such discussion is premature. Helpner also noted then that the issue is not just a concern in Surrey and White Rock. “I sit as a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which has had a national railsafety committee since the Lac MĂŠgantic disaster,â€? she told PAN. “The question arises that, if we’re going to move our rails, who else in this nation may wish to move theirs? It’s such a big conversation and we’re a ways away from that coming to fruition.â€? Hepner, at that time, noted she’s concerned “any time we have a significant requirement for

new infrastructure it comes at the expense of agricultural landâ€? and some of the alternate-route options presented are “beyond 70 per cent in agricultural land.â€? Coun. Barinder Rasode – who is expected to formally announce her mayoral candidacy Saturday – was critical of Tuesday’s announcement. While she said she agrees rail safety is a priority across Canada, moving the tracks is “not one that can be made as an election promise‌ not one that we will have much direct impact on.â€? Rasode said it is misleading to make the promise before a full strategy is in place. “To provide that kind of hope without a proper plan isn’t fair,â€? she told PAN. “It gives hope and takes away from the real conversation about rail safety – which is the real conversation.â€? Representatives of the Crescent Beach Property Owners’ Association said they were pleased by Tuesday’s announcement. “Anything that shows a level of commitment to the rail issue is good news‌ regardless of whether it’s politically or otherwise motivated,â€? said Malcolm Stewart, who noted shifting the tracks to a more direct inland route “is very much a win from the business point of view and from the safety.â€? Art Van Wart noted the tracks “have to go.â€? – with files from Alex Browne

Metro Vancouver brought the unit to a seaside parking lot just west of Oxford Street on Sept. 8, at the city’s request. It is to remain in place until Oct. 8. Data collected will also include
weather-related information. Placement of the unit was announced to the city’s railsafety task force in January. At that time, task force members said they are not convinced coal dust is as big an issue as some residents believe. Concerns over potential health impacts of coal dust have been top of mind for officials and resi-
dents since Fraser Surrey Docks announced plans to build a new direct-transfer facility. Port Metro Vancouver gave the proposal the green light last month. Task force chair Coun. Grant Meyer said the air-quality unit will “either confirm what people are thinking or put their minds at ease.� – Tracy Holmes

Concerns sidetracked
L
ast December, Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said it was premature to be looking at what she viewed, then, as a Utopian vision of relocating the BNSF line away from the South Surrey and White Rock waterfront. Now, with a civic election on track for November, mayoral candidate Hepner seems to have realigned her own route. At a Tuesday rally in Crescent Beach, Hepner told potential voters that “nothing trumps safety” and that, as mayor, she would start immediate discussions with BNSF about moving the rails to a faster, safer and more direct inland option. It might be unfair to characterize her position as a flip-flop; Hepner is part of a unified Surrey First campaign stance, in response to growing public concern about the volume of train traffic, the increase in dust-bearing coal trains and shipments of dangerous goods, and the potential for a disastrous derailment on the waterfront. But it’s worthwhile to revisit some cogent arguments she made last winter. Hepner, chair of the city’s agricultural and food security committee, had not been on board for the last public rail-safety forum at which both Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin announced their support for relocating the main BNSF route. And Hepner had valid points to make about the implications of such a scheme for Surrey’s rich agricultural land – some of the finest “outside of the Nile basin,” as she put it. As she pointed out, it’s not just a matter of moving the rails to the countryside – it’s what comes with them. Rail corridors attract industry and establish land-use precedents. Agriculturalindustrial uses, such as processing plants, would be a logical consequence of creating such a corridor in South Surrey. It’s also a federal issue, she pointed out, and Surrey and White Rock are likely not the only communities in Canada clamouring to have their rails moved. Of course, as she remarked, before any discussion can take place, having a willing partner in BNSF and a funding source for the realignment is essential. No such sober concerns were in evidence in the heady atmosphere of Tuesday’s announcement. It would be a shame if Hepner’s earlier leadership on the issue was completely sidetracked for what seems, in the heat of electioneering, to be an apparent vote-getter.

fragmentation of the entire nation. Unlike Scotland, which can clearly and cleanly separate from the rest of the U.K. without affecting other “states,” Quebec’s separation would isolate the Maritime provinces from the rest of Canada. And since they, like the Highlanders, have major ports, offshore oil and proximity to other powerful nations, it would only be a matter of time that they calved off from Canada to become an independent state. So too are the western provinces blessed with riches: oil, food production, ports and huge export markets to the south and west. In the end, all might work. But in the interim, our economies would collapse, taxation would be volatile, and our social safety nets chaotic. I recall being so concerned about the potential in 1995 for a “yes” vote for sovereignty in Quebec causing financial turmoil and ultimately Canada’s breakup, that I considered moving, though to where was never determined. Fortunately, common sense prevailed, and with the narrowest of margins our nation survived the sovereignists. Yet despite the decision to stay within Canada, there is still a strong undercurrent of separatism within Quebec waiting only for a stimulant – Scottish independence – to promote a resurgence. Funny how a “No” has become “maybe later,” while a “Yes” seems to be forever. Mark Rushton writes for the Abbotsford News, sister paper to the Peace Arch News.

Citizens make community Editor: Our Peninsula community is in trouble, and we need to act before we run out of time and space. In the absence of a shared vision and coherent strategy of our own, we are drifting into the future on a tide of apparently indiscriminate and certainly unbalanced development. We are abandoning much of our long-term potential to special interests and short-term expediency. We know only too well that we are ‘growing’ but have no clear idea of where we are ‘going,’ and that is a problem that we citizens must solve ourselves, sooner rather than later. It has been said that successful and sustainable communities are created and maintained, not by government and not by chance, but by the people who live there. Our Peninsula community – the unique, ideally located ‘gateway to British Columbia’ that encompasses White Rock and South Surrey neighbourhoods, is no exception. We urgently need more citizen participation and leadership in the management of our own community affairs. We believe that our Peninsula City Club, currently being established, will help to achieve this. ‘City clubs’ are independent and non-partisan associations, based on a well tried and proven formula, that encourage and enable citizens to contribute more effectively to the community’s future. Ours will provide a focal point for illuminating significant challenges, a forum for discussing key issues and a framework for concerted action. Our aim is to have our club fully structured and operating by the end of this year. Further details will be announced shortly. In the meantime, please email with any comments to info@pencity.ca We need your help and we welcome citizens’ input and advice. Robert Tibbs, White Rock
Neighbourhood sum of its parts Editor: The idiom, ‘Live and Let Live,’ means that people should be able to live their lives anyway they wish, regardless of how others may feel. These days I find myself less and less in a live-and-let-live mood, especially as it pertains to my neighbourhood. Increasingly, I’m seeing homes that were once lovingly maintained quickly deteriorate due to new owners who do not upkeep their house and garden. One such house is on my block. For as long as we’ve lived here, the house was well kept. It had a coastal look, with an outdoor carpet that welcomed visitors up the front steps to a redcoloured door. With trees planted along a cute picket fence, plants and flowers growing in the front garden, it was a treat to walk by. The house was sold this year and
a new owner arrived. They quickly and haphazardly cut the tops of trees, probably wanting more light for the clothesline that was erected next to the front door. Shrub bushes were hacked, not trimmed, leaving stumps and debris littering their lawn for weeks. Weeds now flourish where they can amidst burnt grass and dead flowers. The house remains mostly abandoned, particularly during these summer months. This leaves me sad, confused and concerned. My sadness comes as I watch a stately home become nothing more than a property in disrepair. The confusion arises as to why anyone would pay so much for a house only to destroy it. I question why they would not hire someone to at least maintain the yard in their absence, which I hear is overseas. Concern emerges as I consider what this
will do to property values in our neighbourhood. ‘Live and let live’ isn’t sounding as good to me as it once did. Jennifer Zehner, Surrey
Tree growth needs proof Editor: I say, “ask not what your city can do for you,” after 26 years at the same address on a dead-end street with an unnamed ravine beside us. I had asked the City of White Rock what the options were for trimming some of the trees in the ravine to restore the view we once had. They asked if I had pictures through the years. After several calls, and then telling
me my spam filter was set so high they couldn’t send me the info, it arrived ‘snail mail.’ So, for $150, I can submit an application to have the city review my request to follow my suggestion on how to trim the trees, if approved by neighbours. And if I thought some should be removed and replanted, the prices range from $2,000 for a six-centimetre tree, all the way to $18,000 for a large tree. What I wonder is the thought process that, after 26 years, I would have to prove that the trees grew, or how much they grew. I could guess that some of the people I talked to were not quite born when we moved in, yet here we are, in one of the highest tax brackets around, paying the city for an opinion on their own trees. Good work, White Rock! Greg Mason, White Rock

A freight train traverses the Little Campbell River trestle on Semiahmoo First Nation land southeast of White Rock.
So-called ‘solutions’ won’t help Editor: Re: Stop-gap measure won’t work, Sept. 2 letters. I agree with letter-writer Don Robertson that the ultimate goal should be a new route for the heavy coal trains and movement of dangerous goods. I don’t have a problem with a reasonable volume of general freight trains or Amtrak, except for the inane whistle blowing by some engineers. But the reality is this is years away. In the meantime, the issue of pedestrian safety doesn’t require chain-link fencing. Installation of automated gate arms at each pedestrian crossing would be a simple, cost-effective solution. Think back to last year’s tragic death of the jogger in East Beach – automated crossing arms would surely have prevented this accident. A chain link wouldn’t have. Trains and people have co-existed for over 100 years, but where has our common sense gone? Bureaucrats keep re-inventing the wheel. Enough of this big-brother crap. You can’t legislate against morons who sit on tracks. While I’m at it, to the brilliant minds who closed the “gaps” along the existing rail fence, the paddleboaters, kayakers and other beachgoers continue to cross the tracks at these locations. All you’ve done is make it more difficult and, in the process, worsened their safety. So to Transport Canada, the city and whoever else is involved in these decisions, please go back to the drawing board and come up with solutions that recognize the general public doesn’t need big government to control every aspect of their lives. Barry Collins, White Rock Q Re: Trains can be gone in 5 years: Baldwin, Sept. 11. It must be close to election time in sunny White Rock. One observes Mayor Wayne Baldwin desperately trying to refocus media attention away from White Rock’s fiscal problems and scandals that occurred during his watch. He would rather have the voters concentrate on the lost cause of relocating the train tracks once again. Baldwin knows the only way to win re-election is to distract the gullible voters. The most important issue for White Rock residents is why they pay 51 per cent more in property taxes than their neighbours in Surrey, but that issue is not an election winner for him.
I moved to Surrey’s Fraser Heights area 20 years ago. The train noise there is just awful due to a large intermodal rail yard on the Fraser River shoreline. I did not know it was there until I bought my house. My family had to start wearing earplugs in order to sleep properly. We complained, but the City of Surrey said there was nothing it could do, so we lived with the train problems for 13 years. We moved to the Morgan Creek area of South Surrey nine years ago and we made sure there were no train tracks near our home. Now, we again hear, one of the options Baldwin wants is to relocate the tracks along the Highway 99 corridor near my home. Dream on, pal. You and the elites in White Rock knew the train tracks were there before you decided to live in White Rock. You made an informed decision to buy your properties with the full knowledge that the train tracks were there. Now you can live with your buying decisions, just as I had to do in Fraser Heights. White Rock residents who are now unhappy with their informed buying decisions can move to another location, just like I did. You are not going to dump your train problems on me and my neighbours in Morgan Creek. A. Rose, Surrey Q I am continually amazed that the White Rock NIMBYs expect a railroad to be moved at a cost of $500 million-plus because they didn’t know it was nearby when they moved here. Their initial rant was that coal trains entered White Rock full and were empty as they left, until an environmental study said otherwise. Now, an environmental catastrophe is imminent from a slowly moving train carrying freight. Really? Can you imagine every community in Canada that has a railroad passing through it or where train tracks are close to a body of water being entitled to the proposed White Rock “move-it” solution? That would be totally daft. As for the noise, I’m awakened more by ambulance, police and fire sirens than I am train whistles. If folks don’t like living close to a railroad, I’d suggest that you simply move elsewhere or pay for the move of the railroad on your own dime. I’m taxed out. Doug Scott, Surrey

Watts proud of Conservative leadership on the world stage i from page 1 The number-one issue she sees for the riding is rail safety, slope-stabilization issues, blockages of traffic by rail and a trestle bridge in dire need of repair. “That would be the one significant issue,” Watts said, adding the City of Surrey has identified about five areas where the White Rock and South Surrey BNSF railway track could be relocated. “If I’m elected, I will certainly be working very closely with the city in terms of the work that’s been undertaken,” Watts said. Added to her list of local issues is truck traffic. “We have the second-largest border crossing in the country,” Watts said. “We have almost a million trucks going back and forth across the truck crossing each and every year.” That has a significant impact on roads and communities, she noted.
The 16 Avenue off-ramp is complete, but Watts says more work needs to be done. She said Surrey has done well with securing federal infrastructure funding and she wants to make sure that continues. From a federal perspective, it comes down to a matter of which party to trust for Watts. With conflicts erupting in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq, a Tory government is the one she wants in place to deal with those issues. “Canada has a moral obligation to be involved, to play a leadership role and that’s one of the things I’m significantly proud of right now,” Watts said. “We are taking a leadership role.” There are other issues she wants to bring to Ottawa. She is fully supportive of the Northern Gateway pipeline, saying the 209 conditions ensure it will be built with environmental
safeguards. She asked what it would mean if Canada stopped oil production tomorrow. “There would be significant impact globally, because hundreds of thousands of people would perish (because of issues around) heating and cooling, food safety, health, emergency services, all of those things,” Watts said. That said, she believes we should be “transitioning out” of fossil fuels. She said she would examine what’s being done on the national housing front to see if it can be done better. She wants to continue Surrey’s long-fought battle to have cities receive their share of a gas tax in order to pay for transportation. Watts also wants to find a way cities can become aware of residences that have housed licensed medical-marijuana grow-ops. City officials have long said they need to be
inspected for fire safety. Ottawa has countered that it’s a privacy issue. Watts says that needs to be sorted out. As to her long-standing issue around a more equitable sharing of funding for RCMP, Watts said she would also look at that. Currently, the federal government pays 10 per cent of the policing cost and Watts has always said it should be more. She acknowledges there’s a contract in place, but says if all parties agree, it could be changed. As to what skills she brings as a candidate for the riding and representative in Ottawa, Watts says there are a few. “There are a number of skill sets I think that I bring to bear,” Watts said. “I do believe it is the integrity that I have carried through my tenure as mayor, the ability to bring people together and to deal with issues head-on.”
The riding at a glance The new South Surrey-White Rock riding includes the electoral area formerly included in the ridings of Surrey (1966-71), Surrey-White Rock (1971-76) and Surrey-White Rock-North Delta (1976-87). It reverted to Surrey-White Rock from 1987-1990, then became Surrey-White RockSouth Langley (1990-96), South Surrey-White Rock-Langley (1996-2003) and South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale (2003 to the present). New electoral boundaries announced in early 2013 will slice Cloverdale from the riding, placing it in newly created Cloverdale-Langley, which will include the fast-growing Clayton area of Surrey. The largely suburban/rural riding – which includes Semiahmoo First Nation reserve land and two of Western Canada’s busiest U.S. border crossings – has long been considered a stronghold for representatives of Canada’s conservative parties. Progressive Conservative backbencher Benno Friesen was the region’s five-term federal representative, from 1974-93. He was succeeded by Val Meredith, who served from 1993 to 2004 and was first elected as a member of the Reform Party. Meredith’s party transitioned into the Canadian Alliance and the Conservative party during her second and third terms, and she failed to gain the nomination in 2004, when Russ MP Russ Hiebert Hiebert was, in the words of some, “parachuted” into the riding and was elected in four consecutive elections. A staunch supporter of Prime Minister Stephen Harper – though he was never awarded a cabinet post – Hiebert has weathered storms over high personal expenses in 2008-09 (second-highest in Canada) and murmurings of discontent among longtime Conservatives in the area. In February of this year, Hiebert surprised many in announcing he would not be seeking a fifth term, saying it was time for him and his family to “move on to new challenges.” As recently as March, Electoral District Association president Jerry Presley denied the Conservatives were wooing Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts as a federal candidate for the riding. He said she had not approached him to run, and that there had been no discussion of that at the riding level. “If I knew there was any kind of a chance, I’d be pounding on her door,” Presley told Black Press at that time.

Some of them are as young as four months.” Pet Passage Rescue, which was founded by Kuwait resident Karen Orobey, connects with shelters like Kuwait Animal Rehabilitation and Education, and is working from inside that country to increase awareness about animal rights, as well, Algumer said. “We’re trying to fix the root of the problem while saving as many as we can,” he said. Patton added that by growing awareness a3nd gathering donations here in Canada – as all of the rescues are out-of-pocket or made possible through donations – the organization can expand their reach and even house more dogs locally. “This community here has so much love to give. You can tell in White Rock and South Surrey there are so many opportunities here for these dogs who have come from very difficult pasts to have a new lease on life in a very loving and safe community,” Patton said. Right now, the two are working on homing Nemo, who has grown fond of the waters near White Rock’s East Beach. The year-old pup loves people specifically women – and is fixed, has received shots, is easy to walk, potty trained and kennel trained. The adoption fee for Nemo is $300, to cover expenses incurred from travelling to Canada and medical fees.

White Rock resident is working with a Kuwaitbased organization to rescue abused animals and rehome them in Canada. Sara Patton joined Pet Passage Rescue this year after her longtime friend and former Kuwait resident Waleed Algumer told her about the deplorable conditions animals in the country were facing every day. Shortly after, she met Nemo. The year-old pomeranian-corgi mix was rescued from the hot, arid desert in Kuwait this summer after his owner had tired of him and wanted to get rid of him. Prior to abandoning Nemo to what would have been a slow death, his owner had beaten him so severely he went blind. When he was found, ❝It was a way he had cuts on his face for me to do something to and his paws make my heart were burnt from the sun feel good.❞ exposure. Sara Patton Now Patton and Algumer volunteer are working to find him a home, as well as other dogs who are still facing abuse and death in Kuwait. “For me, there was so much going on in the world, whether it was Ferguson or it was Gaza, and it’s a very natural feeling to be overwhelmed. Speaking more to Waleed about the opportunity with Pet Passage, it was a way for me to do something to make my heart feel good,” Patton said. Unfortunately, Nemo’s story is not an uncommon one, Algumer said. “Animals have zero rights there,” said Algumer, who was born and raised in Kuwait before moving to Canada. “There is a market in Kuwait, called the Friday market. It’s horrible. They treat animals like accessories, they just breed them and keep them in cages.” The Vancouver resident was forced into action after seeing the

Drew Daniel aims to raise money for prosthetic arm
Teen looks for helping hand online Evan Seal Black Press
For Surrey teen Drew Daniel, having a fully functioning left arm has always been a dream. Born without a left hand, Daniel, now 18, has used multiple prosthetic arms since he was five years old. The technology, however, made performing simple tasks extremely cumbersome. In fact, throughout elementary and high school, Daniel chose to wear no prosthetic at all. But now that he’s an adult, he sees the benefits of having two strong arms. Recently a friend told him about a new high-tech prosthetic, and, after some online research, Daniel knew it had the potential to change his life. The bebionic3 is a state-of-the-art aluminum and carbon fibre prosthetic arm and has the potential to give Daniel the hand strength and dexterity he’s been looking for. “The wrist rotates 360 degrees and each individual finger moves� says Daniel. “Basically you can program it to
do whatever you want. It has 65 pounds of strength in the grip and it’s strong enough to crush a can.� However, with that increased functionality comes a hefty price tag: $21,000 for the arm, along with $7,000 for the form-fitted custom, made socket brings the total to $28,000 – a cost difficult to fund working as a car wash attendant in Maple Ridge. So Daniel launched a crowdfunding effort online to help raise the funds necessary to purchase the high-tech appendage. “There are so many things I would like to do,� he says. “Even riding a bike, getting dressed or tying my shoes can be tough. “I’ve even put off taking my driving test because I don’t want to be denied or given special restrictions because of my arm.� Also, having one dominant arm has left his upper body strength disproportionate to his right side. “I’ve never been able to work out or lift weights and I’ve always
wanted to do that,� says Daniel. “I have one strong arm and one weak arm and that can affect your shoulders and even your posture. My current (prosthetic) arm can grab heavy objects but it tends to let go at random times and that can be a problem.� Gripping the prosthetic’s thumb and bending it back almost to his wrist, Daniel
demonstrates how the hand is unable to open fully without additional help. “My current myoelectric prosthetic arm was funded by The War Amps, but after nearly two years the arm is showing signs of wear,� he says. The glove – the rubber skin-like material covering the mechanical arm – has a replacement
cost of $2,000, funds Daniel feels would be better spent on more up-to-date technology. As of this week, the online fundraiser amassed $12,656 from 150 contributors – or 45 per cent of its goal.

We have some great books and DVDs designed with kids in mind, and we have lots of temporary tattoos and stickers.” If requested, the Terry Fox Foundation will send out a ‘Terry’s Team Member’ – usually a cancer survivor who drives home the importance of what they’re doing – to speak at assemblies. Fox has visited many schools, and always finds the experience inspiring. “I visit schools and ask them about Terry and it’s cool when a
little kid puts up his or her hand and tells me exactly where Terry started his run, how far he ran and how much money he raised,” Fox said with a smile. “A couple years ago we started a Little Fox run at daycares and preschools, and it’s so great seeing the little ones getting excited about Terry and learning about him.” Fox said 84 cents from every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research.

One of the Terry Fox Foundation’s most effective fundraisers will go ahead, regardless of the recent B.C. school strike. Each year, close to 1,400 schools throughout B.C. and the Yukon teach their students about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope, raise money and do a run in their neighborhood. Terry Fox Foundation school co-ordinator Kirsten Fox said prior to this week’s tentative deal between the teachers’ federation and province that the strike made it unlikely everyone could get themselves organized by the scheduled National School Run Day date, Sept. 24. “Everyone I’ve spoken to has committed to holding an event whenever they can,” she explained. “If that’s not September, then we’re completely happy to support them in October or November or any other time.” Even April is a viable option, and very symbolic. On April 12, 1980 Terry Fox started the Marathon of Hope in St. John’s, Nfld. “A few schools already do that,” Fox said. “Every school is a little different in how they approach it, but they’re all amazing.” Collectively, these events count for approximately 60 per cent of the Terry Fox Foundation’s annual fundraising income. * Last year they raised just under $1.4 million. School runs are often spearheaded by a passionate teacher or administrator who works closely with the Terry Fox Foundation. Schools register and are supplied with organizational guidelines and materials. “We give them some amazing posters to help promote the events,” Fox noted. “We have lesson plans online that are

A rail bypass in Cloverdale should be a boost to the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society.
Cloverdale project to benefit Heritage Railway Society
Rail bypass gains approval Jennifer Lang Black Press
Work began last week on a new section of railway through Cloverdale that will give the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) greater control over weekend passenger operations in spite of freight
movements. It’s been the second summer the society has offered passenger runs on restored car 1225 from Cloverdale to Sullivan Station. But due to the sheer volume of grain shipments to the coast, the heritage railway has been sidelined about half the time this
summer. Most of the cancellations have been on Saturdays, with the society not knowing until the last minute if the track would be clear on Sundays either. “Between the grain backlog, the bad winter and a bumper i see page 22

This week’s feature:
Passenger numbers down by 50 per cent i from page 21 harvest, it was a perfect storm,” said FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert. Saturday and some Sunday operations are subject to freight movements on the line due to increased grain handling activity, normally not a conflict on weekends. But since the Calgary flood in spring 2013, grain shipments to the coast have been an issue for the fledgling heritage attraction. “We knew last year there could be some challenges,” Aubert said, explaining how the project’s partners came together after a debut season to look at how to mitigate the problem. They realized they could eliminate the disruption altogether by building a new section bypassing the bottleneck in Cloverdale. Last week, work began on a 600-metrelong section of dedicated track. The bypass will join up with the existing line that runs to Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, the roundtrip destination for the society’s passenger runs for the past two seasons. The bypass will be in place for 2015, allowing uninterrupted passenger service for the society. Commercial interruptions affected the society’s operations about 30 per cent of the time last summer, Aubert said. It’s been at least 50 per cent in 2014. “It’s been incredibly frustrating because we won’t know from one moment to the next,” whether the line will be free,” Aubert said. “We’re open every weekend, but the big question is: Is the train
running?” The new track was approved July 22. Getting the necessary approvals and permissions in place has taken 11 months. So far this summer, more than 2,000 passengers have climbed aboard the Interurban for the 55-minute trip to Sullivan Station and back to Cloverdale, home to FVHRS headquarters. That’s about half of the number of passengers served last year, when ridership closed in on nearly 5,500. “We’re down by 50 per cent,” Aubert said. “We’ll probably hit 3,000 by the end of the season.” Turnout has otherwise been “terrific,” he said. “People are forgiving, provided there’s a solution.” The weekend trips, leaving on the hour, run until Oct. 13. Cloverdale Station, a replica of the 1910 original, is open on Saturdays and Sundays even if the train isn’t running. Visitors are welcome to tour the station, and the car barn, where restoration work on BCER car 1304 continues, and take a short speeder ride on the railway track. The passenger side of the FVHRS’s operations runs with the help of 125 active volunteers. Weekends, there’s a crew of 28 working four-hour shifts as greeters, ticket sellers, guides and station managers. Laying down new track represents about $1 million in terms of investment, but the actual cost to the FVHRS will be much lower, thanks to sponsors. Partners on this leg of the journey are

Metro-Vancouver rates quite low on the global scale of vulnerability, but that is far from signifying that preparations are unnecessary. Seismologists expect that the area will experience a major earthquake – possibly an 8 or 9 on the Richter scale – sometime in the future. Perhaps the only question is when will it happen? If last month’s San Francisco quake isn’t a precursor, it’s at least a reminder of the Boy Scouts’ motto to ‘be prepared.’ Is it time for us to emulate Mexico City’s MultiCat bond program of risk mitigation, risk modeling, with trade and parametric insurance? This allows government to prepare against quake and hurricane damage. There’s also the U.N.

Kinder Morgan projects impact of oil pipeline rupture into Fraser
Cleanup ‘could take years’ Jeff Nagel Black Press
A summer oil spill into the Fraser River in Surrey from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline would mostly be swept quickly downstream and into the Strait of Georgia, with some oil reaching the Gulf Islands. That projection, filed by the company as part of the risk assessment for its proposed $5.4-billion pipeline expansion, estimates cleanup could take up to five years. The study assumed a full-bore pipeline breach just downstream of the Port Mann Bridge releasing 1.25 million litres (more than 10,000 barrels) of diluted bitumen. “The process of restoration and recovery could take anywhere from 12 months to five years,” it said. Oil carried downstream out of the Fraser delta “is likely to disperse to the north or south in the strait” and is “more likely” to reach Gulf Island shorelines on the opposite side of the Strait than to directly affect Sturgeon or Roberts banks. Shoreline oiling is highly likely – 60 to 100 per cent probability – between the Port Mann Bridge and Annacis Island, the study says, dropping to less than 10 per cent downstream of the Massey Tunnel.

Fraser River estuary near Ladner. The study assumes the spilled oil will float until it strands on shorelines. “Oil that enters salt marsh or reed bed areas may become trapped there. Although the physical effects of this oil on the vegetation may be low to medium, oil spill recovery effects may be equally damaging to the vegetation, as well as affecting habitat utilization by wildlife species.” Ducks and geese would be at high risk of being harmed or killed, the study said, adding raptors, wading birds, shorebirds and swallows would face “medium” effects. Mammals most at risk would be aquatic species like muskrat, beaver, otter and mink. “It is assumed that some of these animals could be sufficiently oiled to cause death.” Kinder Morgan officials have said the new pipeline could be built with more frequent emergency
shutoff valves or thicker steel near the Fraser River crossing, which would be horizontally drilled under the riverbed. The study cautions that it didn’t look at spill probability or take into account the various Trans Mountain prevention commitments that could reduce the likelihood or size of an oil escape. Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the recent Mount Polley mine tailings disaster shows unexpected failures can happen. “We have economic impacts, environmental impacts there that are going to take years to figure out and to heal,” she said. “It’s a societal question as to whether we’re willing to take the risk.” Wilhelmson said the study demonstrates an oil spill could “devastate” habitat and wildlife in Georgia Strait as well as B.C.’s most important salmon river. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said Kinder Morgan should instead pipe the oil south from Abbotsford to Cherry Point, in Washington State, to avoid increased risk to the Fraser and conflicts such as its ongoing access dispute with the City of Burnaby. “There is an oil port on our coast,” Steves said. “It happens to be in the U.S., but it’s only 90 miles away.”

StewardChoice would initially target apartments
Recycling rival to MMBC seeks green light Jeff Nagel Black Press
A new industry group is seeking provincial approval to oversee recycling pickup from urban apartments but questions persist over how its plan will work. StewardChoice Enterprises has pitched itself as a parallel offering to MultiMaterial BC and wants the province to approve its plan to serve as a second stewardship group to handle packaging and printed paper. StewardChoice argues MMBC’s recycling collection system isn’t yet serving most multifamily buildings in Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria, where it initially aims to operate. Businesses that object to being members of MMBC – many call it an unresponsive monopoly – would have the choice to instead pay into StewardChoice to meet their responsibility to finance the recovery of their waste packaging and paper under B.C.’s recycling regulation. Metro Vancouver planners and politicians told the regional district’s zero waste committee last week there are too many unknowns to say if the proposal is beneficial. “I do think competition could actually drive solutions to some of the problems we’re facing with MMBC,” Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said. “It could also confuse the heck out of it so nobody knows what’s going on.” She said competition in packaging stewardship might spur all the players to be more transparent and fix problems that have drawn complaints from local cities. Reimer wants firm targets to increase package and paper recycling rates, more focus by producers on reducing package waste at the front end and improved pickup of glass, which MMBC isn’t accepting curbside in most cities. She noted MMBC’s monopoly made for one-sided negotiations with city councils. “In a competitive model, MMBC would not be able to put a
contract on the table and say ‘take it or leave it,’” Reimer said. A Metro staff report, however, cautions a rival agency like StewardChoice could undercut MMBC revenues and destabilize the new industry-led recycling system, which is supposed to shift the costs from taxpayers to business. “It is important that moving to a competitive model is done in a way that creates a level playing field so as not to undermine the success of the MMBC program.” StewardChoice development director Neil Hastie said the initial first year target is to take 8,000 tonnes of recyclables, or about five per cent of what MMBC handles. “It’s hard to imagine why a company like ours coming in and taking five per cent of the market would destabilize a company that has 95 per cent of the market,” he said. Hastie said StewardChoice is now finalizing its proposal to government after consultations over the summer wrapped up Sept. 12. Still unknown is exactly where StewardChoice would operate – one of the questions Hastie aims to answer by year end. Most multifamily buildings pay private haulers to take away recyclables as well as garbage. StewardChoice would persuade those haulers to join its system instead of MMBC’s. It would then pay them to collect the apartment recyclables using money from waste-generating companies that sign up as StewardChoice members. One major hauling firm StewardChoice expects to partner with is Progressive Waste Solutions, Hastie said. There’s been a “pretty decent response” from B.C. companies interested in becoming members, he added. Municipalities wouldn’t get payments from StewardChoice as most do from MMBC because they don’t cover multifamily recycling costs. But Hastie said
StewardChoice may try to negotiate broader residential recycling coverage for
the holdout cities in the Lower Mainland that decided against being part of MMBC’s
system. “Abbotsford, the Township of Langley and Delta are not
receiving producerfunded recycling,” he said. “So we are evaluating whether or
not we could provide producer funding to those communities too.”

n March 6, 1988, she wanted to know what it took to write a novel and whether she really wanted to do that “for real.” Diana Gabaldon began bashing away at Outlander, a historical fiction about a Second World War combat nurse thrown back in time 200 years. Split between two loves in two different times, her protagonist, Claire Randall, finds herself is in an impossible position – but one that has proven compelling for many readers. It was Gabaldon’s first book, but certainly not her last. But her writing also served as an inspiration to many budding writers, including those attending the Surrey International Writers Conference (SiWC). A regular fixture at the event, Gabaldon will be just one of a host of presenters coming to the 2014 edition, at the Sheraton Vancouver, Guildford, from Oct. 24 to 26. Gabaldon comes to the conference fresh from publication of her eighth epic novel in the Outlander series, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, which has already reached the number-one spot on the ❝You have to seize New York what you are. You Times’ best seller are a writer.❞ list for Laura Bradbury hardcover Surrey author fiction. Even after 26 years of writing, Gabaldon is hard-pressed to describe her genre. She calls it “big, fat, historical fiction, à la James Clavell and James Michener.” It’s the story that transfixes the readers of Gabaldon’s books. Surrey author Laura Bradbury read Gabaldon’s Outlander in 2003 and was transformed by it. She has a degree in English literature and has read all of the greats, but she was completely enamoured with the plot offered in Outlander. She joined the Compuserve literary forum where Gabaldon often posts, and made a point of attending SiWC the following
of war again, a citizen of no place, no time, no country but my own… a land lapped by no sea, but blood, bordered by the only outlines of a face long-loved.❞ - excerpt from My Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon

with a rare liver disease. “My life changed from one minute to the next,” Bradbury says. “I went from a healthy, globetrotting, writing mother of three, to looking my mortality very closely in the face.” With new resolve, she decided to finish the three books she started. She has already published the first book, a memoir, called My Grape Escape in November of last year. She self-published it using Kindle with the help of local social media guru Sean Cranberry. “The sales have been extraordinary. I’m a Canadian best seller already,” Bradbury said. My Grape Escape is at the number-one spot in Amazon France and holds the top 100 spot for Amazon memoirs. A sequel called My Grape Village is coming out before this year’s SiWC. Bradbury will be sharing her success story as a keynote speaker at the event that kindled her success. She will be talking about how life is short and writers who are thinking about it should get busy. “Creativity, and writing specifically, has been a lifeline for me,” she said. “The future is uncertain, and you have to seize what you are. You are a writer. You have to honour yourself, to write and to finish.” The SiWC has also grown from modest beginnings. Starting in 1993, with 100 attendees at Johnson Heights Secondary School, it has since become a packed annual event that attracts authors and speakers from around the globe.

Company converts old audio formats i from page 34 developing expertise and sheer love of the potential of sound to turn what started as a hobby into a viable service reworking old audio – including LP, 45 and 78 rpm records – for clients. While there are commercially available products to do such conversion, they all require a fair amount of hands-on work. “This is for people who don’t have enough time to do all that,” he said, adding that he will convert old discs to MP3 files that can be burned as CDs or used in other ways. “I can send the files to them and they can do with them whatever they want,” he said. “Or I can do remixes.” Gosselin said he also has the capability to do visual presentations, including slide shows, and also plans to extend the services he offers to include video production. Like many in his generation, he has an aptitude for technology and an openness to experimentation that makes him delight in creating new effects or beats from old sources. During a recent visit to his basement studio, he eagerly demonstrated different approaches to sound – including mixing beats from a DeadMau5 track with the theme from Jeopardy!, and a new effect he created to upload to the soundsharing site freesound.org modelled after a Second World

Surrey Eagles set to open BCHL season in Chilliwack
Local talent to lead way Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
I
f nothing else, the Surrey Eagles have remained true to their word. In the summer, team brass – including president Chuck Westgard and new coach/ GM Blaine Neufeld – committed to filling the roster with as much local talent as they could. With that goal in mind, Neufeld spent much of his offseason signing young players with local ties, while bringing aboard a few veterans via trade. The end result? Fourteen of the 22 players on the BC Hockey League team’s openingnight roster are from Semiahmoo, Cloverdale or Surrey minor-hockey Blaine Neufeld systems – a number that coach Neufeld admits surprised even him. “We made that commitment to local players, but it’s a higher number than we even expected,” he said Tuesday. “But we’ve had some surprises, as far as those local kids go. We gave a lot of them opportunities at camp, and they came in very dedicated and motivated, and they earned spots on our team. “It’s a unique position they were in – with the chance to play for their hometown team, and they took advantage of it. They impressed us.” How the hometown philosophy pans out will be known over time, beginning this weekend when the team opens its season in Chilliwack at the BC Hockey League’s annual showcase. Surrey will open the regular-season schedule Friday evening, 7:30 p.m. at the Prospera Centre, against the Penticton Vees, and will play their second game of the weekend Sunday, 5:30 p.m., against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Surrey Eagle forward Quinn Lenihan fends off a check from a Langley Rivermen defender during a BC Hockey League preseason game. The Eagles will hold its home-opener the following Friday, Sept. 26, against the Chilliwack Chiefs. Two days later, they’ll host the Prince George Spruce Kings Sunday afternoon (4 p.m. puck drop). In between games, they’ll head back to Chilliwack Saturday for a rematch with the Chiefs. After losing some key offensive weapons to the NCAA – former captain and Boston Bruins draft pick Danton Heinen and power forward Anthony Conti both left this summer for college – the Eagles will rely this year on a number of young players up front. Among the newcomers are a pair of Surrey rookies – forward John Wesley and defenceman Matt Barberis – who were both late cuts of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. Wesley, 17, led the Junior ‘B’ Richmond Sockeyes in scoring last season, with 27

goals and 57 points in 44 games, while Barberis spent last year with the Valley West Hawks of the BC Major Midget League. Though both may end up back in the WHL in the future, Neufeld was happy to have them aboard for this year, at least. “I talked to both of them when they were cut by the Giants, and they were disappointed, of course, but now I think they’re excited to come here and have a good season,” he said. “Whether we are promoting players to major-junior hockey or college, we’re happy to help players (advance), so hopefully they come in and have great seasons for us.” Ty Westgard, son of president/owner Chuck, is also a rookie to watch this season, Neufeld said. A draft pick of the WHL’s Victoria Royals, the Valley West-grad is “going to be one of our most exciting players to watch” Neufeld
predicted. The youngsters will be led by some key returnees, namely 20-year-old Chase McMurphy and Darius Davidson. Speaking of McMurphy – who was acquired last season from the Vernon Vipers – Neufeld expects him to “put up some pretty big numbers for us” during the 2014/15 season. Last year, he had 11 points in 18 games for the Eagles, after tallying seven points in 18 games in Vernon. With so much youth up front, Neufeld expects the team’s strength to come from the back-end – at least until the young forwards adjust to the league. On the blue-line, Brian Drapluk returns from last season, while towering Surreyborn defenceman Latrell Charleson – who was acquired in the summer from the Saskatchewn Junior Hockey League – will i see page 38

Teams hit gridiron for Titans Day The third week of the Vancouver Mainland Football Season meant the return of Titans Day to South Surrey. Last Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park, five White Rock-South Surrey Titans football teams – plus the association’s Titan Cheer Team – took to the field for a series of home games. At the flag level – for players aged five to seven – one White Rock-South Surrey squad emerged victorious, while a second lost their tilt. The Titans’ White Team
defeated the Royal City Hyacks’ 24-12, while the host Blue Team lost 36-12 to North Delta. At the atom level the Titans corralled the North Delta Longhorns 40-8. White Rock scored a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, when Logan Jessup scored his first of two major scores. Max Reiffer also had three touchdowns, and Titans’ Aiden Robins went five-for-five on kick conversions. Defensively, Amir Gill and Bud Beliveau
were among the Titans’ leaders in tackles. The peewee Titans, meanwhile, did not fare as well, losing 12-0 to Royal City. In bantam action, White Rock-South Surrey also took a loss, falling 26-6 to the Mission Niners. Running back Tighe Andreou was a key part of the Titans’ offence, while defensively he led the way with two sacks of the Mission quarterback. Owen Dickie and Eli Burns shared quarterbacking duties for the home squad.
Young squad taking aim at playoff position i from page 37 “definitely be a topfour guy� according to Neufeld. One of the more intriguing players on the team this year will be found in the crease, as 19-year-old Ontario native Christian Short has cemented himself as the early-season starter. Short played last year at a U.S. prep academy – Cantebury School in Connecticut – and will get his first taste of junior hockey this season. The rookie will certainly take up plenty of space between the pipes – he’s listed at
six-foot-four and 203 pounds – and, Neufeld said, has already drawn interest from college scouts. “He’s a big, talent kid – he’s got a real high ceiling,� the coach said. “We’re going to give him a lot of minutes.� Backing up Short will be 16-year-old rookie Daniel Davidson, another Surrey native. He played last season for the Delta Hockey Academy. With so much youth in the lineup – Westgard has repeatedly referred to it as a “transition� period – Neufeld said he’ll be patient with his squad,

but it still aiming for a playoff spot. “That’s the goal,

they’re a confident bunch. We’ll see what happens.�

Despite roster turnover, Valley West aims for top spot in BC Major Midget League
New season, same expectations for Hawks Rick Kupchuk Black Press
With a new head coach and just three returning players, expectations for the Valley West Hawks will remain the same – to finish near the top of the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML). “We have speed, great goaltending and depth at the back end,� said Jessie Leung, who takes over as head coach of the Hawks after spending the past three seasons with the team as an assistant coach. “I expect us to be near the top.� The Hawks draw elite 15-17 yearolds from the Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley Minor Hockey Associations and will play a 40-game season in the MML. Last season, their 27-11-2 (wonlost-tied) record set a club record for wins, and matched previous bests with 56 points and a third place finish. They reached the semifinal round of the playoffs for just the second time, losing a bestof-three series in Kelowna to the
File photo
Matt Barberis was a key member of the Valley West Hawks last year, and this season will suit up for the Surrey Eagles (see page 37). Okanagan Rockets in three games. Winning is nice, but moving players to the next level is what the Hawks strive for. And Valley West also excelled in that area. Matt Bradley of Surrey led the Hawks in goal scoring last season with 39 tallies in 37 games played, and this season finds himself on a
Major Junior team. “He lit it up last year, and stepped it up in Medicine Hat (Tigers) and cracked their top line,� said Leung. “And our captain last year, Paul Savage (of Surrey), is with the Yorkton Terriers (Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League), and Mitch Newsome (Surrey) is now with
the Penticton Vees (BC Hockey League).� White Rock forwards Matt Barberis and Ty Westgard have made the jump from the Hawks to the BC Hockey League’s Surrey Eagles, and White Rock defenceman Devante Stephens is still in the preseason camp of the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets. Leung takes over a team looking to move another large group of players into the junior ranks. The three returnees are forward Trevor Ayre and defenceman Shakeel Ebrahim of Surrey, and forward Luke Gingras of Langley. Gingras came back to us from the Saskatoon Blades, which wasn’t expected,� said Leung. “But he will be our captain this season. We will lean on him for leadership.� Gingras, 16, missed just four contests last season and contributed 14 goals and 23 points. Ebrahim will be one of just three 17 year olds on the team. Last season, he netted two goals and 15
points while playing in 29 of the 40 regular season games. Ayre was one of seven Hawks to play in all 40 regular season games a years ago, scoring five times and collecting 18 points. Defencemen Cole McEwan and Spencer Berry had a small taste of the MML last season, and have cracked the roster of this season’s team. “We brought them to the Mac’s (tournament in Calgary) last season, and they didn’t look out of place.� Valley West begins the season in Prince George, playing twice against the Cariboo Cougars Saturday night and Sunday morning in a rematch of last year’s best-ofthree quarterfinal series, won by the Hawks in two games. “I like it,� said Leung of the season-opening road trip. “We get away and get to do some teambuilding, there will be some bonding both on the bus and in the hotel.�

Studio 2000x is a fullyfledged moviemaking animation department that’s buried deep in the bowels of Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Jeffery (Jeff) Nowak heads a groundbreaking small group of dedicated Animators/Auto Designers who are playing an increasingly important role in product development at Ford and changing the way cars are created. Jeffery Nowak talked recently about his unique line of work, while he was here attending the SIGGRAPH Conference and Exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

’’
The conference attracts professionals worldwide from the computer graphics, visual effects, gaming, science, robotics and movie industries. “Our animations are cinematic in that we try to convey the message within a product and express ‘the feel’ of that vehicle, as best we can,” said Nowak. “We’re trying to create a reality, before a reality actually exists, yet achieve a level of realism. We live for that challenge and it’s very exciting and rewarding, especially in the artistic pursuit.” Designing a new automobile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced. “What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from hands-on sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a

“The four-time F1 champ influenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reflective signs collision technology.

Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Topless Fiat flawed, but that’s part of charm The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s All of Me comes on the radio while I’m behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm.
‘‘
There are imperfections that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it.
’’
Alexandra Straub
As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy, but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward
visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect. I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic. Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also brings life to the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance. The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995. That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt with abrasion or discomfort. Furthermore, if you want to bring light to the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunrooflike option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love… I LOVE IT!” alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca
The 2014 Fiat 500C has several flaws, according to columnist Alexandra Straub, but she “still can’t seem to stop loving this car” despite its imperfections.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4 By Kerry Vital
If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information
and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute oneon-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces. A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.
The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood. “South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,
vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!” The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious
curb appeal. Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family. Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite. The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight. “The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says. The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-
steel appliances. Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows. Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home. Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head. “The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.” Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system. “There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.” The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers. “There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan. Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away. Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street. “It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.” For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.
