Anger over teen’s death
No coroner advice in train fatality Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Kevin Diakiw & Tracy Holmes Black Press
Surrey’s mayor is furious after learning a man previously convicted of violent sexual offences and considered a high risk to reoffend has been charged in the killing of 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch. “It’s senseless that another young life is taken,” Dianne Watts said Tuesday. The body of Vermeersch was found around 7 p.m. Sept. 16 in thick brambles in the 14600-block of 66 Avenue. Raymond Lee Caissie, 43, was arrested early Saturday morning in Vancouver and has been charged with second-degree murder in her death. After hearing it was Caissie who was charged, Watts said it’s unthinkable that a high-risk offender might be responsible. Raymond Caissie Caissie was accused placed in Surrey last year after serving 22 years in jail for forcible confinement, robbery and sexual assault with a weapon. His conditions upon his June 2013 release included not having contact with his victim, not to possess a knife, except for eating, and not to have any other weapon or restraint tool, including wire or duct tape. He was also to keep the peace and remain in B.C.

They can’t let these guys out,” she told Peace Arch News. Family friend Bonnie Moy – who was instrumental in the development of Realty Watch, a system that fans out alerts to realtors in the community – agreed. “The cops can’t be everywhere,” said Moy, who plans to place flowers in Pamela’s memory at South Surrey’s Forever Garden on Oct. 4. “These people, they should be somewhere where they’re not on the street. (Vermeersch’s death) just shows you how far we haven’t come.” i see page 4
The death of a woman on East Beach train tracks 14 months ago has been ruled accidental. According to a long-awaited coroner’s report on the death of Anita Lewis, the 42-year-old who died of multiple blunt-force injuries suffered July 14, 2013 when she was struck by a passenger train as she jogged across the tracks at the pedestrian crossing in the 15600block of Marine Drive. In the report – released to Peace Arch News Tuesday – coroner Cynthia Wicks concludes Lewis likely didn’t notice the train until it was too late. Video surveillance from the train shows Lewis looking west while approaching the tracks, the report notes; the train came from the east. “It’s reasonable to conclude that Mrs. Lewis didn’t hear the train due to the fact that she was wearing headphones,” Wicks writes. “Mrs. Lewis was looking westbound and her baseball hat’s rim may have affected her peripheral vision, therefore it’s quite likely she never noticed the train until the last second.” Noting Transport Canada had recently ordered that trains travelling “between dusk and dawn” blast their horns intermittently as a safety warning, Wicks made no recommendations. (The order now says from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the blasts are to be sounded repeatedly.) Regarding the time it took to complete the report, B.C. Coroners’ Service spokesperson Barb McLintock said the service is “always the last out of the gate.” i see page 4

Michael Herrera served two-thirds of sex-assault sentence
Ex-student teacher released Sheila Reynolds
tions on Herrera. They include not having contact with the victim or any members of her family, not to be in the presence of any female under age 18 unless with a responsible adult who knows his criminal history and has been previously approved in writing by his parole supervisor. Herrera is also not allowed to participate in activities or have a job where he'd be in contact with females under 18 or that would place him in a position of trust or authority toward females under 18. The parole board decision gave several reasons for the special release conditions, including his victim's and her family's right to feel safe and not have unwanted contact that could be traumatizing. Keeping him away from anyone under 18, the board said, is aimed at reducing his risk of re-offending. "Your index offence involved the grooming of and sexual offence against a fifteen-year-old female student. Restricting you from being in the presence of the same will mitigate the risk you pose to such persons," the decision reads. The restrictions remain in effect for the duration of Herrera's sentence, which concludes in June 2015. The parole documents also show Herrera is an American citizen and may face deportation. If deported, he must inform the Parole Board of Canada and Correctional Services if he plans to return to Canada.
Black Press
A then-student teacher who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old Surrey student during a violent master/slave encounter has been granted statutory release from prison after serving two-thirds of his 26-month sentence. Michael Herrera was sentenced to two years and two months in jail in April 2013 after pleading guilty to sexual assault the October prior. During sentencing, the court heard that Herrera had developed a relationship with a vulnerable female student at a Surrey high school. Herrera, who was 24 at the time, was a UBC student completing his final practicum to become certified as a B.C. teacher. The bond escalated to explicit text messages and emails and physical touching and then the pair planned a sexual master/ slave hook-up at Herrera's home in May 2010. It was then that things turned violent. Though she wanted to leave, he forced her to stay and had intercourse with her several times. He also hit the teen, bit her and demanded she do household chores, all while degrading her and calling her demeaning names. The victim, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, eventually told friends and parents and police were called. A subsequent examination revealed 29 injuries to various parts of her body. A Sept. 4 decision of the Parole Board of Canada indicates that

Michael Herrera has been released from prison after serving two-thirds of his sentence for sexual assault. while in custody, Herrera has completed sex-offender programs and has more insight into his crime. His risk of engaging in future sexual violence is rated moderate to low and he plans to live with close family members. Statutory release is automatically granted to most offenders after they've served two-thirds of their sentence, unless it is recommended by the Correctional Service of Canada that they be detained longer. The parole board, however, did impose special release condi-

Stop-work order lifted after two days, demolition permit issued
Highrise developer pays $1,400 in fines Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A stop-work order issued last week to the developer behind the City of White Rock’s next highrise was lifted two days later, officials confirmed. But city manager Dan Bottrill said he’s still troubled by the fact there were any issues at all. “When you’re in that business, you should have an awareness of the rules that you need
to operate under,” Bottrill said. “It’s not that hard.” Vancouver-based Cressey was ordered Sept. 17 to halt demolition work that was underway on a Vidal Street site to clear space for a temporary “stick-frame” sales centre. Lots at 1467-1519 Vidal St. are to eventually be home to a 12-storey project that includes 12 townhouses and 97 apartments. Bottrill said Wednesday that the stop-work order was lifted the previous Friday, after
approximately $1,400 in fines levied in connection with the unauthorized work had been paid, and a demolition permit issued. The permit had been in process at the time of the “multiple infractions.” Work resumed in short order, and neighbours report the site has been busy since the weekend. As of Peace Arch News’ press deadline Wednesday afternoon, one issue – regarding signage that violated the city’s sign bylaw – remained unresolved. Cressey officials were
given until the end of Sept. 24 to comply. The 12-storey project received a narrow go-ahead last fall, when council voted 4-3 to approve zoning and Official Community Plan amendments that cleared the way. The temporary commercial-use permit needed to construct the sales centre was approved in July. Calls to Cressey’s Vancouver office were not returned by PAN’s deadline yesterday afternoon.

Beauty shop break-in

A vehicle was used to break into Sally Beauty Supply early Monday. The Peninsula Village store reopened for business the next day.
A beauty-supply store in South Surrey suffered significant damage Monday, when thieves decided to break in by driving a vehicle through its front doors. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said an alarm was triggered at the 820-15355 24 Ave. store at 1:40 a.m. Sept. 22. According to the police report, the doors were broken off the frame and several panes of glass were shattered. Hair extensions were among several items stolen. Paquet said pieces of a tail light found inside the store were seized as evidence. Wednesday, a woman who identified herself as the store manager declined to comment on the incident, but noted the store reopened for business the next day. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to contact RCMP at 604-599-0502. – Tracy Holmes
City staffers making more than $100,000 a year rise to 24 in White Rock, 203 in Surrey
Bureaucrats’ wages targeted by chamber guest Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Municipalities must act to keep escalating labour costs down – and prevent a “whipsawing” effect in which raises at the civic level of government are used as a precedent to justify raises at the provincial level, and vice-versa. That was the pre-municipal election message that Jordan Bateman, B.C director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, delivered to members of the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce at its luncheon last Thursday. No doubt mindful that he Jordan Bateman was addressing taxpayers federation an audience that included two hopefuls in Surrey’s mayoral race (Couns. Linda Hepner and Barinder Rasode) as well as Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg – Bateman included a pitch for one of the federation’s pet projects, a Compensation Equity Act. “Could you legislate a way to make it illegal to pay public-sector employees more (for the same work) than those in the private
sector?” he asked. He suggested that having professional negotiators party to contract talks would be key in reducing the upward leap in municipal labour costs. (A petition for such legislation at the CTF website suggests salary caps for executives and classing pensions as deferred income.) Referring frequently to a recently leaked Ernst & Young report that was commissioned as part of the provincial government’s core
review process (see sidebar), the former two-term Langley Township councillor said it showed municipalities throughout B.C. are overpaying staff in comparison to provincial and private employees. Prominent among municipal election promise clichés Bateman cited (“I’ve run on all these myself,” he confessed) is ‘keeping taxes low.’ He said addressing labour costs was one way to accomplish this. “It’s very boring and unsexy to
explain how you’re going to have fiscal restraint, but it’s absolutely vital,” he said. “The number-one cost for cities is labour – it’s not uncommon to spend two-thirds of the budget (on it).” Bateman said that even figures going back to 1971 show government employees made seven per cent more than equivalent employees in the private sector. “It used to be that if you’d go to work for a municipality you’d
Leaked report flawed, self-serving: UBCM B.C. cities are firing back at the province for commissioning what they call a flawed and biased review of rising municipal compensation levels. The Ernst & Young report criticized cities for allowing staff pay levels to climb by 38 per cent – twice the rate of the provincial public service – from 2001-12. It also suggested municipal managers are paid too much and recommended the province take strong action to curb the trend, potentially by threatening to reduce municipal grants. The report was leaked last week via the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and has cast a chill on municipalprovincial relations as politicians meet in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. UBCM president Rhona Martin said the authors didn’t consult cities or unions, showed a “lack of objectivity” and relied heavily on provincial data and anti-tax lobby groups like the CTF.
They admitted the data was limited but drew strongly worded conclusions anyway, she added. Martin said the report’s suggestion of placing municipal compensation under provincial control – potentially with centralized collective bargaining – would have “profound consequences.” Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore called the report “extremely disappointing” and “profoundly disrespectful” to cities. “Municipal councils are not agents of the province,” Moore said, adding they are democratically accountable to local voters and any move to impose a provincial compensation philosophy on cities would pose a direct challenge to their autonomy. The Metro board decided at an in-camera meeting Friday to hire its own expert to analyze the province’s compensation review. – Jeff Nagel
expect to make a little less up front, but you’d get a pension and benefits,” he said. Now, he said, it appears the disparity between private and public runs between eight and 17 per cent – “CUPE said it’s only one per cent, while the Fraser Institute said it’s 13.6 per cent.” The report indicates that between 2001 and 2012, municipal compensation jumped 38 per cent. In contrast, provincial core government service employees have had an increase of 19 per cent in wages – “a bit less than the 23 per cent rate of inflation” – while Crown corporation employees have received a 25 per cent increase. In local terms, Bateman pointed out, over the same period the number of employees making $100,000 or more in the City of White Rock has risen to 24 – an 85 per cent increase, while Surrey now has 203 staffers topping that salary level – a 173 per cent increase. Bateman’s critique extended to corporations – TransLink in particular. He noted that corporation executives received hefty pay increases in the form of “benefits and bonuses” during a 2013 pay freeze. “Only in TransLink’s crazy world would a pay freeze mean a pay increase,” he said.

Crime rally to be held in Newton i from page 1 (The Forever Garden was created as a tribute to all young people who die before their time.) Citizens concerned about crime in Surrey are gathering Sunday to rally for better public safety. Newton community activist Naida Robinson is spearheading
the rally, which will be held at 2 p.m. outside the Newton Seniors’ Centre, 13775 70 Ave. The mother of five became involved in community safety after the killing of hockey mom Julie Paskall late last year. Several incidents have occurred in Newton since Paskall’s mur-
der, including shootings, home invasions and killings, but the latest criminal act sent her over the edge. “I feel like we crossed a line with the killing of Julie (Paskall) and now Serena Vermeersch,” Robinson said. “Two women murdered in nine months.”
Coroner’s report ‘awaited others’ i from page 1 “Some… require other agencies’ investigations to take place.” In this case, those agencies included Transport Canada, White Rock RCMP and the city. Transport Canada’s review – shared within two months of the incident – determined that the operation of the train involved and signage at the crossing were in compliance with the Railway Safety Act and associated rules. The federal agency ordered the City of White Rock and BNSF to conduct a joint review of trainwhistling rules that restricted overnight whistling and other safeguards along the waterfront. Efforts are ongoing to imple-
ment safety measures, and so far have included the addition of ‘look, listen, live’ and other signage; and fencing along the south and west sides of Bayview Park. Chainlink mesh is soon to be installed along the length of the handrailing; pedestrian crossings are to be levelled; and signal arms and lights will eventually be installed at key crossings. Const. Shaileshni Molison said the police investigation – finding the death to be a “tragic accident” – wrapped up in September 2013. Regarding the 2½-month gap between the report’s completion and its release – it was signed July 9 – McLintock said the process is the same for all coroner
reports: rigorous editing and quality assurance; then, release to the family for a couple of weeks before it goes public, to ensure they don’t learn about any findings in the media. “So a couple of months lag time is about normal and means nothing,” McLintock said. Immediately following Lewis’s death, McLintock attributed a delay in the release of information to limited staff and media inquiries into the death of actor Cory Monteith in Vancouver the day before. The cause of Monteith’s death was announced within days. The coroner’s report was signed Sept. 16 of that same year, and released two weeks later.

Time for justice
J
ustice and the public interest would seem to go hand-in-hand – but it’s not always the case. There is no clearer illustration than the arrest made last weekend following the murder of Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch days before. Understandable outrage – some of it expressed by Mayor Dianne Watts – came on the heels of the discovery that the accused is a man already red-flagged in the city as a violent sexual offender, and considered a high risk to reoffend. Amid general, justified disgust at what Watts has termed a “broken system,” one fact seems to have been forgotten, however. While the man accused has been charged with second-degree murder, and his name has been widely published in print, in broadcasts and all over the Internet, he has yet to be judged in a court of law. The presumption of innocence until guilt has been proven is a cornerstone of Canadian justice. The accused, by law, is entitled to a fair trial. Even in our age of instant information – and the feeding frenzy of news sources hungry to beat competitors to the punch – such principles must hold. Until late Monday afternoon, Surrey RCMP had not publicly named the man. They believed, firmly, that a publication ban requested by defense counsel had been granted. Media sources – insisting there was no such ban – published his identity, and the point rapidly became moot. But it’s worth noting that even the police, who have every reason to want to see justice done, were urging media to honour the ban. It’s ironic that the kind of information that helps police identify a suspect is often the kind kept from the public on the grounds that it would be prejudicial to a jury. The alternative is to judge someone publicly, merely on a probability of guilt. When the principle is breached – as it seems to be with regrettable frequency – it puts our quest for justice at risk. True, it’s in the public interest to know the facts – particularly when matters of safety are at stake. But that right to know must be conditional. It can never be allowed to trump the presumption of innocence. When it does, we are one step away from mob rule. When anger is misdirected, the consequences can be tragic. Can any of us claim to be in full possession of all the facts in this tragedy? The facts we need to know will eventually become public. For now, if we believe in justice – and particularly justice in memory of Serena Vermeersch and other victims like her – we must exercise patience.

question week
Do you think the murder of Serena Vermeersch indicates Canada’s justice and parole systems are broken? Vote online at www.peacearchnews.com
One question that remains unanswered is how often Caissie was monitored by local police. It is already well-known that there are about 36 officers on the road in Surrey at any one time. Is that sufficient for anything other than very occasional monitoring? It seems unlikely. Caissie had apparently moved from Surrey to Vancouver recently, and it is unknown if Vancouver Police Department or another police agency was monitoring him. Surrey has not, as of yet, reached the level of murders that it did last year. However, this case is very similar to the murder of Julie Paskall last December. Former mayor Doug McCallum and Coun. Barinder Rasode have both focused on policing levels in their mayoral campaigns. Coun. Linda Hepner, of the ruling Surrey First party, has been caught more flat-footed on the issue, and it is tough as the representative of a ruling party to try and defend what people see as indefensible. Newton residents in particular feel betrayed. They were promised increased police presence after Paskall’s murder outside Newton Arena. For a time, policing was beefed up, but residents report that policing is back to where it was a year ago. This issue will be the dominant one in the municipal election and it will likely lead to increased voter turnout, given the race for mayor and the very genuine concerns of Surrey residents. It will also be the last time in four years that residents can hold local politicians accountable. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

Poor picture of air quality
Editor: I have been a happy Surrey resident for over 18 years now. I have seen this city grow and prosper exponentially. As a former city employee for over 30 years, I can say I love this bustling city. I even built what I thought was to be my last home to retire, grow old in and live a comfortable, peaceful life. I live in a great subdivision with great neighbours. Sounds pretty great, right? Like most houses and subdivisions in Surrey, they have been built to strict and specific civic guidelines. It was a painstaking process getting permits for everything and having to pass countless inspections “to code.” My entire subdivision is no exception to the city’s building laws set in place to make sure that residential land and property is used to the right capacity, ensuring a respectful living for all residents. All common sense right? Well, maybe I should have waited until 2010 to build my dream home here in the once quiet subdivision of 125 Street and 61 Avenue. It seems I could have just up and built whatever I liked, not having to pay any fees or worry about building inspectors not passing my home for failing the many bylaws. Not only me but my neighbours as well. Boy do we feel duped. Directly behind our subdivision, property owners built a separate two-bedroom, two-storey dwelling right beside their current home on their half-acre lot without any permits whatsoever that year. Then, to add insult to injury, just recently it was discovered they built another workshop and garage to park their five-ton diesel vehicles and operate some sort of commercial home business. One must be asking, wouldn’t the noise of all that construction have bothered you guys? Well, yes! Our subdivision of at least 19 residences immediately filed a complaint to the City of Surrey to all the proper channels, including the mayor. We were advised the city would look into it and somebody would be sent to stop the construction. Further conversations and countless phone calls thereafter resulted in the same thing for the past four years now – nothing. Both buildings are still standing, congesting our view and infuriating our residents with the constant noise of the commercial business. We’ve gone to the proper authorities and nothing has come of this, other than more disappointment. Apparently, there are a privileged few who can do whatever they want without any consequences. Clearly the owners at this address have proven there are no consequences whatsoever for not abiding by proper building codes and laws as set up by the City of Surrey. Thank you for taking the time to read our frustrations, on behalf of all the 19 residences in the subdivision of 126 Street and 61 Avenue. Mohinder Sanghera, Surrey
Editor: Re: Air quality to be monitored, Sept. 18. White Rock task force chair Coun. Grant Meyer said the air-quality unit will “either confirm what people are thinking or put their minds at ease.” Having the air-quality monitoring unit testing air quality now is a mistake, to say the least. The
number of coal trains going around the Peninsula is unbelievably low. Wish it was like this all the time, since we live close to the tracks. The coal trains are currently being re-routed through Abbotsford because of maintenance and upgrades, and will be finished by the time the air monitoring ends on Oct. 8. Then, the trains will be back to 24-plus runs of more than 100 cars each per day– not including Amtrak. This is what was happening this past winter and spring. You could not go to the waterfront for one hour and not have a heavily loaded freight train going by. I know, because I live
across the street. And I can show Meyer the coal dust on my deck. Metro Vancouver approved the expansion of the Fraser Surrey Docks for more coal trains. They picked a very nice, low-traffic time to monitor air quality. They should be doing this monitoring when coal train movement is in full swing of 24-plus trains per day. Then you would have an accurate air-quality picture by the beach. This air monitoring by the so-called task force is nothing but a joke and a complete insult to the residents of White Rock.

Elected officials’ support for moving the BNSF railway inland is more about safety than politics, say letter writers.
Relocation critic way off course Editor: Re: So-called ‘solutions’ won’t help, Sept. 18 letters. Letter-writer A. Rose of Morgan Creek – presumably from his million-dollar glass house – calls out Mayor Wayne Baldwin as one of the “elites” from White Rock. Rose indicates that Baldwin is backing the train relocation solely for his own agenda of getting re-elected. Has Rose picked up the paper in his own backyard to see what platforms councillors and mayors looking to run in Surrey are choosing? It’s not just the mayor of White Rock concerned for public safety. Rose also threw out more conjecture of “fiscal problems and scandals” in White Rock under Baldwin, I’m assuming because he is upset about possibly living near another train. I’ve known my dad a long time, and he’s a lot of things, including cheap at times and straight as an arrow. Fiscally irresponsible and scandalous, he’s not. White Rock residents do pay more in taxes – Rose’s one point that had substance – however, I live in South Surrey and waited over three hours for police to show up to control intoxicated teens vandalizing a public park, while the majority of the police force cleans up the crime in Newton/Whalley. Citizens in White Rock don’t have to worry about that little dilemma, if paying more for safety, among other things, matters. Ryan Baldwin, Surrey Q Seashore safety is not just for “the elite.” Letter-writer A. Rose’s analysis of the situation is basically this: White Rock Mayor Baldwin is making noise about railway relocation now for no other reason than to distract from other issues in preparation for election time. And, those White Rock elites knew the tracks were there when they moved in and now should just live with their decision. Oh, and by the way, don’t even think about moving the tracks out where I live. May I suggest that Rose just doesn’t get it. To add some perspective to his observations, it should be noted that Baldwin has been talking about this for a long time and, in my opinion, representing his constituents. As for the alleged ‘elite,’ while it may be difficult to elicit sympathy from the less fortunate, I’m sure many of them had no idea the rail traffic would expand as it has. Anyway, while some of the ‘elites’ may be disturbed by train noise, that is not the primary motivation for relocation. Let me try to explain a few of the factors again. The railway also passes through the Semiahmoo First Nation reserve. And no, these ‘elites’ did not know the tracks would be there when they first set up camp.
The railway route effectively cuts off Crescent Beach so that in the event of a disaster, a stalled or derailed train could potentially prevent emergency-response vehicles from attending. Yes, yes, I know. These ‘elites’ should have checked that out before moving there. Pedestrian safety is a great concern for the thousands who visit White Rock and Crescent Beach each year. I know, they should all learn to read and stay off the tracks. Why don’t we just close the area to tourists? Seriously, it is not good enough to say “use at your own risk,” when this hazard can be eliminated by moving the rails. The railway passes under an unstable slope. With increased traffic comes an increased risk of catastrophic derailment. The railway passes alongside environmentally sensitive waters of Boundary Bay. The rail also crosses two rivers at their widest points where the bridges are most vulnerable and the potential for disaster is greatest. Are you concerned about the cost of relocation? Try calculating the cost of a major cleanup in the bay. The bottom line is that all concerns can be mitigated by relocating to a safer route where a derailment is less likely, where pedestrians are not constantly crossing the tracks, and any potential disaster can be more easily contained. It must be obvious to any impartial observer that the current railway is in the worst of all possible locations. The only real question is how to move it in the most responsible manner. J. Drent, Surrey
Timing critical Re: Hepner pledges to relocate trains, Sept. 18. It was good to be at the announcement in Crescent Beach from Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner last Tuesday regarding relocating the tracks in five years, similar to White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin’s days earlier. Of course, with the election coming on, lots of announcements come out of the blue. BNSF is spending a heck of a lot of money redoing the Serpentine Bridge, so I don’t know how well they will like the idea of relocation, but I hope it will come. SmartRail and Communities and Coal – along with other groups – have been advocating rail relocation for years, and the councillor who has attended the most meetings with these groups has been Coun. Barinder Rasode. Just keep that in mind, when the election comes: who was on the bandwagon first and was very interested to the point of speaking out, many months ago. Brian Lauder, Surrey

Hit-and-run trial set for 2015 Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
The man accused of running down two joggers in South Surrey will be tried on the matter in Surrey Provincial Court next fall – nearly three years after the hit-and-run collision. In appearance before Judge Ellen Gordon Friday, nine days in 2015 were set aside for Barry Russell Christiansen’s trial – Sept. 14-17, 21-24 and 28. Christiansen was not in court, however, pleas of not guilty were entered by a representative of his lawyer. Two charges of “fail to stop at accident scene involving bodily harm” were sworn against Christiansen last December, in connection with the Dec. 3, 2012 hit-and-run incident that injured runners Nola Carlson and Shelley Lammers. The women were jogging across 152 Street at 32 Avenue when they were struck. Lammers suffered a
concussion, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, two broken vertebrae and a lacerated liver. Carlson’s injuries included a broken nose and cheekbone.
Evidence from the scene included traffic-camera video that captured the impact and a figure on foot approach the women and lean over
them before rapidly departing. Three days later, police announced the arrest of a 53-year-old Surrey man and the seizure of a BMW X1.

Newton woman prepares to take on five-km Pumpkin Run again
Finding the strength to change her life I
Staff Reporter
n Debbie Dillon’s mind, it was more likely to turn a pumpkin into a carriage and ride to the finish line of the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’s Pumpkin Run than it would be to complete it on her own two legs last year. But with a lot of training and a boost in support, the Newton mother of two completed the five-km route with help from her trainers. And now, she’s getting back into training mode for this year’s annual walk/run event 80 pounds lighter. “It’s so hard to believe where I’ve come from and what I’ve done,” Dillon said, recalling reaching the finish line at last year’s event. “On the other hand, it’s like, I came in last, and I was angry, because I’m a competitor, but knowing that I did it, I had to realize, the doing and completing of it was more important than where I finished.” As recently as last year, Dillon, 59, relied on a cane to support herself in order to walk after surgery on her knees in the ’90s. The former triathlete and onetime nationally ranked racquetball player gained a significant amount of weight as a result. “I’ve always been big, but I’ve always been an athlete, until my knees stopped,” she said. “And then I’ve just gotten out of shape and done nothing. Then after my knee surgery, I didn’t know what I could do. And there was nobody there, no one around that could help me.” After hearing about trainers at Live Well Exercise Clinic in South Surrey, the North Surrey teacher decided to sign up in February 2013 and get her life back. “My goal was to walk. Just walk, like a normal human being,” she recalled. Her first steps on the treadmill resulted in agony. “No pain, no gain,” she reminded herself constantly. “On the third day, I couldn’t do it. So I started crying. And (the trainers) were like, ‘why didn’t

The mother of two, who has lost 80 pounds, aims to take on the challenge again this year on Oct. 26. you tell us?’” she said. “But I just thought, if I can’t walk on a treadmill, how can I walk in real life?” Despite the setbacks, Dillon persevered and was soon persuaded to join the clinic’s walking club last September. “I thought, ‘are you kidding me? There is no way in this world I’m going to be walking with you guys. Forget it,’” she laughed. She skipped the first night of the walking club, but was encouraged to come to the second week. Cones were set up across a field as markers for the walkers. All of a sudden, the hour was done. Dillon had done it. “It wasn’t even that I walked for an hour, it was that I stood for an hour.”
Each week, Dillon came back for another hour, until one day, she slowly put down her cane and took her first steps in more than a decade without assistance. “I didn’t tell anybody, but I finished the section myself,” she said. “The owner of Live Well took a photo of my cane and posted on Facebook saying ‘cane needs new owner.’ “I’ve never used it since.” Then came Dillon’s new challenge: last year’s Pumpkin Run. While she had grown comfortable walking on grass, the 59-year-old was unsure how her knees would stand up to cement. Despite her concerns, Dillon practised on the five-km route prior to the run and set out the
day of the race to check off yet another goal on her list. “For those who didn’t know – those who weren’t the Live Well people – for them, it was like, ‘there’s this fat lady who’s trying to walk.’ “That was their perception.” She recalled when her children were younger and participating in races, how spectators would cheer for the winners and “for the losers, basically” out of pity. “So there I was, the loser, the last one,” she said. “I was so angry, because I’m so competitive.” She admits now she wasn’t looking at the bigger picture. “I can walk, and I did it. But I can’t go fast,” she said. “But I can walk to the office. And that’s something I could never do

before. I walked to the office twice today, so I thought, ‘OK, Debbie, you can do this.’ “Before I was immobile. Now I’m mobile.” Despite her boost in confidence and the unwavering support of her family, friends and trainers, Dillon admits the stigma of being overweight is one that is so firmly rooted in society that it can make it difficult to want to try new things. Even before her surgery, comments about her weight were always something she had to deal with playing racquetball. “I was over 250 pounds, and people hated it,” she said. “My husband would be sitting upstairs watching and he’d hear these people go, ‘oh my god, look at how fat she is.’ And if it was a husbandand-wife team, they would just say, ‘look it, you just have to make her move, get it past her’ and then I’d smoke ’em. “I’ve always said, if I was a boy I’d be in the NFL. Because I was so quick for such short periods of time and I was so strong. But as a woman in today’s society – and back then – it’s just not acceptable.” Those experiences – and her position as a teacher at LA Matheson Secondary – have been a major catalyst for her mentoring other young women she sees in a familiar position, and encouragement to keep working on her health. In the last year, Dillon has taken up hot yoga and zumba and will soon begin training for this year’s Pumpkin Run, which she hopes to do in less than one hour and 20 minutes, to beat her previous time. “I’m comfortable and I’m happy. I feel like I’m back to when I was 40 years old,” she said. “It’s changed my life.” This year’s PAHF Pumpkin Run is set for Sunday, Oct. 26 from 8-11 a.m. at Peace Arch Hospital, 15521 Russell Ave. For more information, visit www. pahfoundation.ca

Peggy Jensen will lead church for two years
New minister at Sunnyside Sarah Massah Staff Reporter
Sunnyside United Church has welcomed a new minister to take over leadership of the church for the next two years. Peggy Jensen will take over duties while the congregation decides who will be their new, permanent minister.

Octet discovered after falling from nest
Critter Care saves squirrels Jennifer Lang
Don’t walk,
Black Press
Eight little baby Douglas squirrels – so young, their eyes were still closed – fell out of a nest in Cloverdale a few weeks ago. Fortunately, they landed safely at Critter Care and now, “they’re doing well,” society director Linda Bradley said Friday. The little critters were Linda Bradley orphaned volunteer when their mom was killed in a construction accident on Aug. 18. The “dougies” were brought in to Critter Care Wildlife Society in South Langley, an animal rescue and rehabilitation facility that’s run on donations and staffed by volunteers and interns from all over the world. That first week, the octet was fed every two hours, even through the night, by dedicated interns. In the weeks that followed, the feedings stretched to every three hours in the daytime. The refuge will remain their temporary home until they are ready to be released into the wild. Critter Care, located at 481

Eight tiny baby squirrels were saved after falling from their nest. 216 St., has been a sanctuary to all manner of sick, injured and orphaned native B.C. mammals – from bear cubs and river otters to raccoons and more. In addition to the baby squirrels, the refuge is currently home to more than a dozen fawns, 127 raccoons and seven bears. For Bradley – a South Surrey resident who began volunteering at Critter Care a decade ago – contributing to an organization that does so much for animals is a rewarding experience. “When I heard about it I was so interested,” she said. “It just always resonated with me. “Whatever I can do to help, I’m there.” As a member of the “Critter
Crew,” Bradley said she is among about 20 volunteers who brainstorm for and organize fundraising events, like next month’s Walk on the Wildside at Campbell Valley Park. (To register, visit www.crittercarewildlife.org/walkathon, or call 604-530-2054.) Bradley said it’s hoped the Oct. 5 walk will raise $20,000, much of which will be used to feed the animals in their care. It’s not a cheap undertaking, she said. “Especially for the food,” said Bradley. “A lot of (the critters) require specialized formulas that we can only get from the states.” – with files from Tracy Holmes

$90,000 cheque uncashable
e Sal on! S s o End
Donation a big bust Boaz Joseph Black Press
Marilyn Herrmann still doesn’t know what to make of it. Last week a letter arrived at the Surrey Food Bank containing a $90,000 cheque, something the charity’s executive director describes as an apparent gift from heaven. She’d seen donations in the thousands-ofdollars range, but this? “You don’t open mail like that every day,” Herrmann said. The cheque’s address was linked to a $9-million home in Ontario that was up for sale. It seemed too good to be true – and ended up being just that. Despite some initial optimism, Herrmann did her homework and didn’t rush to deposit it. The envelope itself came from Nova Scotia and the cheque was issued in Ontario. The name on it yielded no results (including
Google and the SFB’s own donor database). She elected to phone the SFB’s financial institution. Within 15 minutes, they told her the same thing had happened – from the same source – to three other charities. The result: A scrap of paper worth nothing. “If this is a scam, what are they gaining?” Herrmann asks. One theory, entertained by SFB board member and RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr, is that the cheque would be deposited, and before being flagged by the bank, someone would call and claim they wrote down $90,000 in error – perhaps $9,000 or $900. The caller would then ask the charity to mail them a cheque minus what they mean to deposit. Herrmann hopes other well-meaning charities don’t get scammed with attempts like these.

f you’re looking for fun, exercise and a lively social atmosphere, get in line – or sometimes a circle. The Surrey International Folk Dancing Society is gearing up for its new season this month, with practice dances each Thursday night from September to June in Fleetwood. Organizer and chief dance instructor Dale Adamson is happy to see the group’s school practice hall re-open just in time for the society’s open house tonight (Thursday). The public is invited to try out dances from around the world – Russia, the Balkans, South America, Scotland, Israel, The Netherlands, Armenia, and even French Canada. No partner or costume are required and all ages are welcome. “There’s something for everybody,” says Adamson, who has taught folk dancing for 15 years and has memorized no less than 275

dances, either in lines or circles. The members learn lots of dances from around the world – such as Galyam, Galyam from Romania, Gong Xi Ni (Happy New Year) from China, Hava Nagila from Israel and Valle Nuseve Nga Korca from Albania. Adamson memorized the names of the dances – apart from how to dance them – when she began to transfer the society’s music from cassette tape to CD in 2000. Given the number of options she can choose from, “it’s hard to pick a favourite,” she says. “If you danced it every week, it wouldn’t be your favourite. There’s a new favourite every week.” Tonight’s free Surrey International Folk Dancing Society open house takes place from 7-9 p.m. at Walnut Road Elementary, 16152 82 Ave. For more information, email dale.c.adamson@gmail.com or visit www. surreyfolkdance.org

says White Rock’s Valerie Weinert. That said, members insist they’re not a performance troupe – it’s recreational social dancing that showcases the multicultural aspect of dance. The costumes (optional) and the music are extra perks. “The harmonies are beautiful,” says Weinert, who has taken to playing some of the songs in her car. Lucie Matich, a regular for years, says it’s not just about learning the dance moves, but the nuances of the music, the instruments, and even the languages. How else would you learn a phrase in Bulgarian? The dancers often remember their steps just from hearing the music and new participants have been witnessed picking up all the steps of a full dance in just a couple of weeks. Currently fewer than one-quarter of the regulars are men. That’s okay, say the ladies, who regularly fill the “partner” roles. Mostly, however, there are big group

individual dances –from Brittany’s Breton Waltz, to Albania’s Cobankat, to Macedonia’s Kostursko Oro, to Norway’s Seksmansril. “It’s in my head,” she says confidently. Despite the seemingly impenetrable complexity of the names, Adamson says that a country’s dances often have similar base steps. There are, of course, dances that are harder than others, but participants say they’re having too much fun to see it as exercise – which it certainly is. “It’s more fun than aerobics,” says retiree Olga Waverick, who explains that the songs, with their different instruments, beats and rhythms, make the dances unique and easy to remember. Apart from the weekly practices, the society regularly puts on demonstrations at schools, retirement centres or other local events. “We’re happy to let people know we exist,”

Surrey Arts Centre show to benefit food bank
Series capped with Night out Alex Browne
I
Arts Reporter
f the upcoming Night On Broadway show at Surrey Arts Centre is to be the last of the series, creators Debra Da Vaughn and Christopher Simmons are determined that their annual fundraiser for the Surrey Food Bank will go out with a bang. Their eighth annual musical potpourri, A Night On Broadway: After Hours will hit the stage Saturday, Oct. 4 (3 p.m. matinee, 7:30 p.m. evening performance). The wife-husband, soprano-tenor team will once again feature a hand-picked group of first-class musical and theatrical troupers for a must-see show full of great melodies, emotional highlights and more than a few chuckles – all to benefit a worthwhile cause. It’s jointly presented by the food bank with principal sponsors Envision Financial and Da Vaughn Studios – and, 100 per cent of ticket proceeds go directly to the bank’s
programs to help those in need. “It’s been great,” Simmons said of the series, which originally began as a salute to opera before embracing the accessibility of show tunes, and even an excursion to Hollywood repertoire last year. But the last year of Envision’s fiveyear commitment to underwriting costs has to, inevitably, raise questions about the future of the project. “Ultimately we’d have to find a way to keep it going – and we’d need to find another major sponsor,” Simmons said. Ticket sales have flattened over the last few years, the couple acknowledge, and the effectiveness of the fundraiser ultimately depends on a high level of public response. “We’ve poured heart and soul into this,” Da Vaughn said. “It’s been a fantastic event, people have been on their feet applauding at the end, and we always have people telling us how
much they enjoyed it. “Who knows? If we have a surge of interest, we might keep going with it.” This edition is the nearest they’ve come to a plot show, they say. “The new focus is more on story and acting elements tying together the numbers,” Simmons said. While the first act will still hew largely to the show-tune variety format, he explained, the second act will provide humour and
also a character subtext to situation-driven musical excerpts. “We have a new director this year – Faith Toronchuk of Langley,” said Da Vaughn. “She’s done quite a lot of children’s theatre locally, and she’s written us a great script for this show.” The first half will present extended excerpts from the scores of Anything Goes, Wicked, The King and I and Into The Woods. i see page 33

A Night on Broadway highlighted by ‘powerhouse’ singers i from page 32 “With those you can’t go wrong,” Simmons said. “The second act is set in a Broadway after hours club where the performers sit reviewing the events of the day – not only what happens behind the curtain, but also in their personal lives as well.” That provides the set-up for grittier character material from such shows as The Light in the Piazza, Urinetown, Funny Girl, Chicago, Follies, Chess, Fiddler on the Roof, Sideshow, Company, Spamalot and Jekyll & Hyde. “We’re not just the voices in the chorus,” Da Vaughn added. “And we have a skilled actor joining us on stage – Meghan Delaney, who plays the role of the bartender.” Also new to the company for this is Chelsea Rose Tucker, who Surrey audiences will remember from her riveting villainess, Ivana Castacurski – and an electrifying performance of I Put A Spell On You in last year’s Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s The Frog Princess. “We saw her in that and like everybody else we were blown away,” Da Vaughn said. “It was one of those incredible, ‘what-did-we-just-seehere?’ moments.” Returning is powerhouse performer Tamara Croft, who has the knack of making any song – particularly an emotional ballad –

of this year’s cast. “He’s such a top shelf performer – we tried to get him for last year’s show but he had another engagement.” Pianist Angus Kellett, also unavailable last year, is back on board. “He’s top drawer,” said Simmons. “We love working with him – and there’s nobody who
brings more out of 88 keys.” Bassist Graham Clark and drummer Colin Parker also add their considerable talents to round out the band, while the cast will also be augmented in some scenes by the piping voices and energetic appeal of the youthful Ljindberg Show Choir, directed by Chad Matchette. “They were extremely well-received last year,” Da Vaughn noted. While it’s not as dance-heavy a show as last year, Elizabeth Lay has provided choreography for some of the numbers. And Da Vaughn and Simmons again acknowledge the community spirit of Chris Thornley of Thornley Creative in providing graphics and layout for the show and also Green Timbers Covenant Church and the Newton Cultural
Centre for donating rehearsal space to the project.

Under-18 soccer tournament planned
Coastal FC set to host nationals Nick Greenizan
S
Sports Reporter
ome of the best young soccer players in the country will be in South Surrey next month, competing at the Coastal FC-hosted Under-18 National Club Championships. The South Surrey-based association will host the event – which includes both boys and girls tournaments – from Oct. 8-13 at South Surrey Athletic Park. It is one of three national club championships – including U14 and U16 events – being held across the country. It’s the first time Coastal FC – or its predecessors, Peace Arch and Semiahmoo Soccer – have hosted the tournament, Coastal executive director Chris Murphy said. And making it more exciting for the hosts is that the B.C. squads in both the boys and girls events are from Surrey. In the girls tournament, the host province will be represented by Coastal FC, while Surrey United will be B.C. reps on the boys side. There are no berths for host teams, Murphy said, and both Surrey teams had to earn their way in by winning their respective provincial cups earlier this summer. That this year’s event is being hosted on home turf is simply a lucky coincidence, Murphy said. “We certainly hope it gives them a boost, playing in front of a lot of local fans,” he said. For Coastal FC’s U18 girls team, the national berth is
actually their second in a row, having qualified last year as an underage team. Last year’s nationals were held in Newfoundland. “This is their second year trying to win the big prize, so hopefully playing at home can give them a bit of an advantage,” Murphy said. Each tournament will feature 10 teams – one from each province, excluding the territories. And while the national championships at any level are a big deal, Murphy said the U18 event holds a little extra significance for players taking part because it is their final year of organized youth soccer, and many teams have played together for years. “It’s their last year before they all kind of disband and go their separate ways to continue playing elsewhere, so it’s a little extra special in that regard,” Murphy said. “This is their last chance to be together as a team, so there’s a bit of sentimental value there.” The tournament opens Oct. 8 with games throughout the day, and then opening ceremonies are set for 5 p.m. At 7 p.m., Coastal FC’s girls will play Ontario in something of a “showcase” game to kick off the tournament. After that, games – four in each tourney – will be played at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily at South Surrey Athletic Park, with the two gold-medal games set for Thanksgiving Monday (Oct. 13) at noon.

Good week for football squads
Titans win at home, on road Last weekend was a successful one for most of the White RockSouth Surrey Titans, as the association’s minor football team won games both at home and on the road. Playing at South Surrey Athletic Park, the peewee Titans earned a 12-0 shutout victory over the Langley Cowboys. White Rock was led by touchdowns from Jakob Davies and Bronte Gallo, while Beckham Dickie, Konnor Bartnik and Michael Ficken each reeled off long runs in the game. Defensively, Dylan Gemakas was the standout performer with an interception. The Titans were successful at the atom level, too, as the White Rock squad narrowly defeated the Cloverdale Lions 18-14 just up the road at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Nico Coates scored White Rock-South Surrey’s opening touchdown – his first ever – after hammering through the Lions’ defence en route to the end zone. In the second half, Marly Reiffer scored on a kick return, taking the ball the distance of the field. Max Reiffer, meanwhile, was strong on defence, helping shut down the Lions on

a key third-down play. Mitchell Hyde also made it onto the scoresheet with a blocked kick - on a Cloverdale touchdown conversion attempt. On the Cloverdale sideline, some great yardage was gained by Rajin Chahal in the first half, and Jeremiah Washington finished it off to get Cloverdale’s first touchdown, converted by Chahal. More great work in the second half from the linemen contained White Rock and the final touchdown was answered by a great run by Chahal to score. In other atomdivision action, the Cloverdale Tigers fell 38-32 to the North Surrey Lions. One Tigers’ touchdown was earned by Arjun Kang and three others by Joseph Domingo. An additional eight convert points were notched by Kang, who also made a great run on the kick return to gain yards for the Tigers. In flag-division play, White Rock won one and lost one on home turf. The Titans’ White Team defeated the Royal City Hyacks 18-14, while the Titans’ Blue Team fell 13-6 to the Coquitlam Crushers. – Nick Greenizan

Hawks focus on positive after opening games Rick Kupchuk Black Press
Looking past the two losses, there were more positives than negatives in the first weekend of play for the Valley West Hawks, says first-year head coach Jessie Leung. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team boarded the bus to Prince George for a pair of games with the Cariboo Cougars, where they lost by scores of 7-4 and 3-2. “It was our first game of the season, the stands were packed, and we were up against a tough opponent that had an uncharacteristically bad season a year ago,” said Leung. “For sure, there were some nerves. “It wasn’t the result we were looking for, But I am not as disappointed as I might normally be.” Valley West opened the scoring, with captain Luke Gingras netting the season’s first goal eight minutes in. Cariboo responded with one goal late in the first period and another early in the second for a 2-1 lead. The Hawks tied the score midway through the second period on a goal from Ian Ross of Surrey, then a pair of power-play goals in the final two minutes put the visitors ahead by two. Spencer Barry of White Rock and Jeffrey Stewart of Surrey were the Valley West goal scorers. The Hawks carried the 4-2 lead into the third period, but penalty trouble did them in. A four-minute check to the head infraction was followed by a tripping call just 13 seconds later, putting two Hawks in the penalty box.
Two minutes later, the Cougars had tallied twice with the two-man advantage to pull even. Another power-play goal a minute later had
Cariboo up 5-4. An insurance goal with two minutes to go and an empty net tally completed the scoring. Valley West trailed
for much of Sunday’s rematch. The Cougars led 1-0 after one period, and the Hawks tied the score one minute into the second frame with a
goal from Surrey’s Tyson Talhan. It took Cariboo just 73 seconds to regain the lead, but again the Hawks came back to

Bose Farm Park Open House Please join us for a Public Open House to review concept options for your new park. Bose Farm Park (preliminary name) is a new park site located in West Cloverdale, between 62 and 64 Avenue east of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The planned natural area park would provide opportunities for amenities such as pathways, viewpoints and natural play. An initial public open house and online survey was held in May, 2014, to provide residents with project information and to gather ideas regarding the park design. With the information gathered earlier this year, two concept options for the park have been developed. Staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. The information gathered at this meeting will be used to refine the park design into a single preferred concept.

Return to the gridiron Michael Mackay-Dunn wasn’t kidding when he said it wouldn’t take long to get Earl Marriott Secondary’s football program up and running once the provincial teachers’ strike was resolved. “Whenever we get going, we’ll be ready to go 110 per cent,” he told Peace Arch News earlier this month, while also admitting that the uncertainly surrounding the season was “killing me.” With the labour dispute resolved, public-school classes were back in session Monday, and the football program has quickly followed suit – the senior squad’s regular-season home opener is set for Friday. Tomorrow at noon, the EMS Mari-
ners will host Vancouver’s Howe Sound Sounders. The Mariners will play this season at the AA Tier II level, alongside Burnaby Central, Eric Hamber, Howe Sound and Timberline. Football is in full swing in other parts of Surrey, too. The Seaquam Seahawks lost a preseason game – their second contest of the year – Friday to Burnaby’s Centennial Centaurs. Seaquam has another preseason tilt Saturday against the Windsor Dukes, and begins the regular season Oct. 4. The Frank Hurt Hornets also open the regular season Oct. 4, against Holy Cross. – Nick Greenizan

NOW AVAI LAB LE
One nice hot sunny day in August found me in the upper Squamish valley, four wheeling and fishing along the river. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until a fish and wildlife officer pulled up next to my truck, walked over to the river bank to ask me how the fishing was going. I showed him one Dolly Varden trout that was about 12 lbs. and told him I hadn’t had a bite for the past hour. He smiled, wished me good luck and warned me to be careful, as there has been bears in the area, including a grizzly. I smiled and said thanks.
The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his nose in an attempt to pick up my scent.
‘‘
Two minutes after he left, I was looking over my shoulder every thirty seconds. I decided to pack up and try somewhere else. I climbed back into my truck and proceeded down the road. The conditions were very dusty and the narrow logging road was covered in a heavy coating of dust. A short way up the road I felt a sneeze coming on. I pulled over and proceeded to sneeze. The vehicle windows were down and it was loud enough to echo through the dust-covered tall grass to the left of me. To my surprise, a black bear stood up in the tall grass. He must have been two metres tall, judging from the height of my truck. The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his nose in an attempt to pick up my scent. I watched him for about a minute although it seemed like an hour had past. As quickly as he popped up, he was down again and out of sight. I wanted to make sure he was gone before I moved on, so I gave a toot on my horn. Up goes the massive bear again looking around. He was a lot closer this time, so I laid into the horn and revved up my engine.
’’ At first he continued to stand tall but soon realized it wasn’t worth the effort to continue. He darted off and I watched him head back towards the river. I continued on the road for another 10 minutes and

German car with a price tag under $15 K
Looks
– heated front seats!
Inside What isn’t obvious on first inspection is just how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the new 2015 model thanks to new switches and dials that look and feel first rate. The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fitted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as a backup camera. Bluetooth is optional on the Trendline plus but becomes standard on Comfortline and above. The top highline features leather, a bigger 8-inch screen and push button start. What all Jettas come standard with is a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-toside. This really is a mid-size car that starts at a compact car price.

‘‘
At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change.
’’
Zack Spencer
It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15inch wheels. The midlevel $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fitted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions that range from $22,490 to $27,790. Volkswagen has a wide range of prices, equipment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190 that includes the must-have
The drive event for the all-new Jetta was held in Middleburg, Virginia, which I later discovered is in the wealthiest county in the United States. Huge homes on rolling farms, with stone fences and colonial designs remind visitors that this is historic country; Middleburg witnessed action during the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrianthemed luxury resort that would make any new car look good. Surrounding it are rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspension and engines in the Jetta. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe emissions by forty percent.
Verdict After driving both the new engines back to back I’d
with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. This engine has been around since Moses was a boy, but it is a proven engine and offers a great starting price. At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? – That’s a tough decision.
be hard pressed to choose. I love the torque of the diesel and the impressive efficiency. (It is rated at just 6.7L/100km in the city and 4.7L on the highway.) But the new turbo gasoline engine is a more spirited unit providing a more enthusiastic experience. This engine delivers 8.1L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go, but for more, fun the new 1.8L is impressive. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L 4-cylinder PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until September 30, 2014. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000 the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015 VW continues with the same philosophy but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities.
The Volkswagen Jetta is the largest car in the compact class, and has the space and comfort North Americans expect, according to columnist Zack Spencer.

Getting dirty in the Ganaraska Forest â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember, the trees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move,â&#x20AC;? coaches Al Lakas, chief instructor at Trail Tours. These words offer some solace but little consolation to the confines of singletrack riding.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike.
â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
Alexandra Straub
Claustrophobia is not a regularly referenced noun in my vocabulary, but when the local fauna and flora of the Ganaraska Forest are a hairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length from your body, and the trail is inches wider than the handlebars of your bike, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to ignore. The Medusa-like temptation to fixate on upcoming vegetation must be overcome. If you do happen to focus on them, it could be game over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, shoot, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stum...â&#x20AC;? Thud. There goes the front end of your bike and probably you. If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where you end up. Down.
Breathing through the anxiety is one way of conquering the trails. Another is a strong foundation in riding. But the most important of them all: vision. Before heading out onto the over 300 kilometres of trails nestled within the 11,000 acres of Ganaraska Forest, Trail Tours instructor Al gives my riding partner and I a lesson in a much less confining location. Thank goodness. Nestled in the heart of the seemingly limitless dirt biking and motorized vehicle playground is Trail Tours, (www.trailtour.com). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just over an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive east from Toronto and well worth the short-haul journey. After parking the car and walking a few paces through a trail, the world gets a little brighter. Literally and metaphorically. The sinewy trees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, in comparison to west coast wood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that lead us to home base doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let in a ton of light, so at the end of the trail, where Trail Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open field training facility stands before me, the sun overflows like a perfectlyiced cake (you can never have too much icing.) Also, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going dirt biking. How could that not brighten your day? Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a first timer or an experienced rider, they have a program for you. Though this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my first rodeo in terms of dirt riding, it was in regards to
single-track. I could use all the tips and tricks I could get. Furthermore, I could always use a little more practice riding in the sand. Yikes. Day 1 of the two-day adventure consisted of making sure the techniques for single-track riding were fresh in our minds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best just to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike. Acknowledge them, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stare. Otherwise, your fate will likely be sealed. After practicing in the various loops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are different areas of
their facility that cater to different techniques â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was off to the practice trail. Needless to say, I was not setting any speed records but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about speed. That comes with time and experience. It was getting used to the fact that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of wiggle room and that my mind would want to play tricks on me if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relax, let the bike and myself breathe, and enjoy the best that machine and Mother Nature have to offer. Day 2 was a game changer. I was so happy that I did some

basic skills the day before because I embraced the various tones and textures of the perpetually evolving geography around me. Rocks, gravel, soil, sand (oh, there was a lot of sand), steep inclines, tree stumps, sharp corners, you name it, the Ganaraska Forest has it. Though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go at it alone. Groups were organized by skill level and were led by individuals who know that forest like the back of their hand. Heck, I would have been lost after the first two turns.

With sophistication and stunning details, Boffo Developments’ Adagio hits a high note. Now, Boffo will celebrate the public opening of the second building on Saturday Sept. 27. With a variety of large floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart, including a community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots.

Now, they’re branching out with Robertson Heights, which is already garnering a lot of interest in the community. “We are very excited to open this new project,” says Deborah Calahan, vicepresident of sales and marketing for
Morningstar. “It’s a phenomenal value. It’s been a long time since we’ve had product in this price range.” Morningstar will hold its grand opening of Robertson Heights on Sept. 27, starting at noon. Six different show homes have been built, showcasing the six different floorplans available. “This is truly the street of dreams!” Calahan says.
The single-family homes, ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet, will include many of Morningstar’s most popular features. Among them are showcase kitchens with extra-large granite islands, vaulted ceilings and window seats wherever possible and lots of windows making the homes feel big and bright. “Each home looks and feels different,” says Calahan. “There’s something for everyone here.” Morningstar is pleased to offer homeowners a variety of options, including glass stair railings and finished basements. Other choices available are Jack-and-Jill bathrooms as well as one home plan offering either four bedrooms or three bedrooms with
a sitting room in the master suite! Three of the home types include a detached garage, while the other three feature an attached garage. The neighbourhood itself will include a playground and walking trails. “It’s very conducive to raising a family,” says Calahan. “You can have play dates, picnics and all that fun stuff that really ‘makes’ a neighbourhood a home!” Calahan also points out that due to the elevation of the community the homes at Robertson Heights have some beautiful views. Robertson Heights is expected to be extremely popular, and Calahan urges interested buyers to pre-register before Sept. 27. Pre-registrants will get an early sneak peek at the homes before the official grand opening at noon. “Homes will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis,” says Calahan. “We’ve already seen huge interest.” Homes at Robertson Heights will start at $439,900 including GST. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. mstarhomes.com. The sales office is located at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge.

Q. What information do I need to know about home appraisals and home inspections? A.
In general, a home appriser determines the value of a property and a home inspector determines the condition of a structure. While appraisals are primarily for lenders, they also ensure that buyers don’t overpay for a property. Home inspections are for buyers. A home appraisal includes details about the house, a description of the neighbourhood and side-by-side comparisons of similar properties. It also contains an evaluation of the area’s real estate market, notations of major problems with the property that will affect its value and an estimate of the expected time it will take to sell the property. A home inspection is an evaluation of a home’s condition that may identify improper building practices or the need for major repairs, as well as fire, safety and health hazards. You should also include an inspection contigency in your purchase offer. The information will help you determine how much you’re willing to pay for a home, what repairs will be necessary and whether or not you want to walk away from the deal.

When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator.
Colonial Pacific Realty Ltd. 15414 - 24th Ave., White Rock Contributor to Children’s Miracle Network
*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh). Actual savings may vary. Savings do not include potential rebates and/or incentives.

MADRYGA, ALBERT
HAINER, James Scott July 20, 1931 - Sept. 2nd, 2014
James Scott Hainer (known by all as “Scott”) was born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan on July 20th, 1931. We are all saddened of his passing on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014. He leaves behind his wonderful wife, Vivian who loved and cared for him unconditionally; his two children, Susan (aka “Marnie”) and William (aka “Brad”) who cared deeply for their dad. He will be missed by his family and many, many friends as well. He will be missed for his sense of humor and of knowing just what to say (sometimes “good” and sometimes “not so good”), that was the way he was. He was straight forward and to the point. He was a wonderful provider. We love and miss you. You will stay in our hearts for as long as we each are here on earth. ~Love always. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 27th, at 1:30pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Ave, Surrey. Donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Albert Madryga on Sept. 21st, after a short battle with cancer. Albert will be greatly missed by Marcia, his loving wife of 58 years, his children Mark, Roxanne (David) Rod (Sue), grandchildren Rodney, Rebecca, Matthew and Tessa, great-grandson Carson and several nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his first wife Effie and his stepson Barry Henshall. Albert was born in Edmonton and moved at age two to Vancouver with his parents Mary and John and his six siblings Jack, Lillian, Nell, Bill, Marie and Mike. His sisters always fondly looked after their “baby brother” and remained a very important part of his life. He attended Beaconsfield Elementary School and graduated from Vancouver Technical School, Class of 1943. He was trained in the Provincial Normal School and later graduated from the Faculty of Education at U.B.C. After service in the Canadian Armed Forces in World War 2, Albert began his 39 year teaching career. He taught in Cloverdale, Quadra Island, Britannia Beach, Midway, Tahsis, Forest Grove, Monte Lake and several schools in Kamloops where he was both a Teacher and Principal from 1957 to 1985. He is remembered as a dynamic instructor and a firm disciplinarian who had high expectations and tireless encouragement for his students. He enthusiastically directed and participated in musical performances especially at Christmas. Over the years Albert enjoyed hearing from former students, reconnecting with teaching colleagues and visiting with friends from his childhood. The family wishes to thank the staff at the Kidney Care Centre, the Jim Pattison Pavilion at VGH, and Peace Arch Hospital for their thoughtful care. All family and friends are cordially invited to a Remembrance Tea on Sunday October 5th at 1 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue in South Surrey. In lieu of flowers, a donation in his name can be made to the charity of your choice.
