The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Thursday S eptember 25 2014

Point Roberts, WA, USA …Point Roberts, or Pt. Bob as many locals call it, was established in 1846. When the border negotiations were being conducted between the British and the Americans, the 49th parallel was determined to be the international boundary. While the border was curved around the southern tip of Vancouver Island, it wasn’t until actual surveying was initiated, that it was realized that the spit of land, now known as Pt Roberts. was actually on the US side of the line! And ever since it has maintained its rural and small town feel...and its incredibly low real estate values! Canadians can therefore afford second homes and waterfront property very close to home thanks to the 49th parallel!

“

Point Roberts has a population of less than 1500 full time residents and its numbers swell to several thousand on weekends and during the summer months. This is due to the Canadian factor…as more than 70% of all real estate is owned by Canadians from all over the Lower Mainland! While its total size is less than 5 square miles Pt. Roberts still is home to a 900-slip full service marina, a championship and award winning golf course and many quaint shops and restaurants. One of the Points biggest draws is its quaintness…its rural nature…the gravel and grass driveways, abundant forests, and continuous pristine shoreline. It is also home to four state parks including the most recent addition of the 275-acre Lily Point Marine Park. Pt. Roberts’ microclimate also offers one of the mildest weather patterns in the Pacific Northwest with more sunny days and only 40 inches of annual rainfall.

the cottages at Seabright Farm

the farm At the heart of The Cottages at Seabright Farm is the organic farm itself; including vegetables, berries, herbs, fruit, and cut flower gardens. The barn, greenhouse, and gardens will be the hub of Seabright and owners will have access to all of the fresh produce.

Seabright Farm is a collection of quaint cottages situated on a 62-acre, south facing bluff, over looking the Strait of Georgia. The homesites are large: ranging from 1/4 acre to almost 1/2 an acre and offers lots of open space as well as privacy. The community is centered around an organic farm, with a barn, green house, and other amenities including a swimming pool and hot tubs, sauna, walking trails, and 1400 ft. of pristine beachfront. Seabright Farm enjoys three distinct “neighborhoods” all of which have spectacular ocean viewws. The Bluffs; with direct waterfront views and a mixture of open and sunny lots and some with mature stands of maple and cedar. The Meadows; many with open and sunny vistas as well as some that are treed. These lots border on a conservation area that adds both a natural setting and privacy at your doorstep. The Woodlands; The woodlands zone is the most private, sheltered and quiet of the farm’s three regions. With a mature forest as backdrop these lots are 40 ft above the Bluffs lots and offer privacy along with great views

The Vista:

Aptly named for its amazing abundance of windows and light, this plan has been designed with the Bluff and Meadows lots in mind. When combined with a “super bunkie”, the open plan provides three master bedrooms, a den, and a very spacious main living area. The super bunkie can function as a stand-alone cottage as well, with a living area and fireplace, galley kitchen and master retreat. There is over 1100 sq. ft .of covered porch areas and 4 fireplaces. This plan is designed for taking in the sweeping ocean views while still providing privacy through intimate courtyards and breezeways.

The Coastal:

The Coastal Plan is timeless and embraces both the proximity to the ocean and rural nature of Seabright Farm cottage plans. The main floor is a single spacious open area with windows everywhere. Both upstairs bedrooms share a large bath with a soaker tub enjoying panoramic views. The bunkie could function as master bedroom retreat, an office or a studio. The hip roof, high windows and square lines of the front porch embrace the classic forms of early farmhouses. The stone fireplace is the central point of this design both inside and out with a prominent chimney and outdoor gas or wood-burning fireplace in the breezeway. The rear of the breezeway can be enclosed to create even more intimate space. As with all of our cottage plans, a garden area enclosed with split rail fencing encourages the “green thumbs” in the family.

Meet George, Seabright Farm’s onsite gardening expert: George has practiced organic farming for over five decades, from the island of Maui to California and to BC’s Slocan Valley. In all his travels, George claims that Point Roberts, “is the best gardening location I have ever lived in. It is a marine environment, so we have temperate winters. My kale and my brassicas (cabbages, broccoli, brussell sprouts) can thrive right through the winter months.” George plans to “garden by example.” Growing crops around the planned community barn will not only provide Seabright Farm with a local food source, it is also an opportunity for George to teach the neighbourhood about the importance of locally grown produce. “You can taste the difference between what comes from California and what comes from your own backyard. Taste a carrot or some peas grown here and it is like tasting candy.” Ultimately, Seabright cottage owners will not only know where their food is grown, but how.

‘Versatile’ sexual offender released in January ▼ HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS MONITORED, POLICE SAY

KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey has at least one other high-risk sexual offender in its midst. B.C. Corrections announced in January that Narinder Wasan, 49, is a considered a high risk to reoffend and is living in Surrey. He’s described as having a “versatile” pattern of sexual offending, having assaulted females of all ages. Wasan has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 1986, with offences often involving approaching strangers in public places. His crimes include sex assault, sex assault with a weapon, sexual interference, assault, failure to comply, uttering threats, and breach of trust, as well as driving, property and drug offences. His most recent sexual offence, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison, took place in a Vancouver park. He attacked 52-year-old woman, tried to tear her clothing off and pinned her on the ground. Narinder Wasan Prior to that, Wasan did jail time in 2005 for assaulting a 10-year-old girl on the grounds of an elementary school in Burnaby. He was high on cocaine at the time and offered two girls $100 to help him find his dog. He then kissed one of them on her neck and cheek. In 2007, he similarly approached young girls at a public swimming pool. He was also convicted for a 2003 assault in which Wasan massaged the breasts of a 17-year-old in an elevator at a SkyTrain station. He is described as South Asian, 5’7”, weighing 180 pounds with a bald head and brown eyes. He is subject to close monitoring and must abide by several court-ordered conditions, including: • No contact with any female under age 18; • Must not attend a public park or swimming area where females under age 18 are present or can be expected to be present; • No possession of knives except to consume food; • No possession of guns; continued on page 6

▶ ‘THE COPS CAN’T BE EVERYWHERE’ from page 1

Caissie has a troubled past. During his sentencing hearing in April 1992 for the sexual assault of the summer student, the court was told that Caissie had a history of violent and sex-related crimes. He had been expelled from 15 out of 16 schools he attended – including kindergarten – for disruptive behaviour. Crown counsel at the time told the court that “every therapy” had been tried on Caissie, then 21 years old, and “there is nothing new on the horizon.” In sentencing him, Justice Stuart Leggatt said Caissie’s pre-sentence report – a general assessment of an offender – was “one of the most pessimistic” he had seen in his nine years on the bench. Caissie’s criminal record also includes theft, break and enter and possession of stolen property. In January of this year, Caissie was sentenced to three months in jail and three years’ probation for breaching a peace bond. He pleaded guilty to failing to report to a parole officer on Nov. 14, 2013. In February of this year, Caissie also pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 in Surrey Provincial Court. The offense involved merchandise at a Surrey Winners store on Oct. 27, 2013. Caissie was sentenced to 21 days in jail and $100 victim surcharge. He was released from jail in March 2014. Suzanne Anton, B.C. Minister of Justice and the Attorney General, has said all the systems that are in place were

followed in Caissie’s case. Watts said that just shows the system is broken and the community is left to deal with the carnage. “The loss of life is a huge price to pay,” Watts said. For the mother of a teen who was killed two decades ago in South Surrey, Vermeersch’s death makes her wonder if appeals for changes in the years that followed had any impact at all. “That was always my greatest fear – are they listening?” Marilyn Cameron said Tuesday from her home in Ontario. “It’s hard to believe that 20 years (later) for us, and here we go again. Once again, someone has slipped through the cracks.” Cameron’s daughter, Pamela, was killed on Oct. 4, 1994 by repeat offender Mitchell James Owen – who had been released from jail the November prior after serving two concurrent 10year sentences for rape and robbery. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in connection with Pamela’s death and is serving a life sentence. In 2020, Owen will be able to apply for parole. It’s a moment Cameron hopes will never materialize. “We’ve got to protect our kids. They can’t let these guys out,” she said. 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. “These people, they should be somewhere where they’re not on the street.”

‘Take Back Surrey’ rally on Sunday ▶ CONCERNED CITIZENS INVITED TO SPEAK OUT ON CRIME IN THE CITY KEVIN DIAKIW

Citizens concerned about crime in Surrey are gathering this weekend to rally

for better public safety. Newton community activist Naida Robinson is spearheading the rally, which will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. outside the Newton Seniors’ Centre. The mother of five became involved in community safety after the killing of hockey mom Julie Paskall in Newton late last year. The murder took place a block away

from her home. Several incidents have occurred in Newton since Paskall’s murder, including shootings, killings and home invasions. “Each week is a reminder that bullets are random,” Robinson said. But the latest criminal act sent her over the edge. continued on page 6

Seventeen-year-old Serena Vermeersch was killed near the train tracks in Newton last week in the 14600-block of 66 Avenue. Raymond Caissie, 43, a convicted rapist who was deemed a high risk to re-offend when he was released from prison into Surrey last summer, has been charged with second-degree murder in Vermeersch’s death. “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.”

She said that politicians are welcome to attend the rally, but they won’t be allowed a platform to speak.

▶ RCMP WON’T DISCUSS NUMBERS from page 5

• No drugs or alcohol and no entry in a liquor store; • No contact with sex trade workers. Anyone who witnesses Wasan violating any of the conditions is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502. RCMP would not discuss how many high-risk sex offenders there are in Surrey, or how many of the registered sex offenders are subject to police monitoring. “High risk sex offenders are subject to regular monitoring, reporting, ongoing threat risk assessments and compliance checks. This responsibility falls to numerous agencies in our communities, in addition to the police,” RCMP said in an email. “Whenever information is received, or there is reason to suspect that an individual has breached their conditions, or is at risk to violate their conditions, resources are prioritized and deployed accordingly.”

a 15-year-old Surrey student during a violent master/slave encounter has been granted statutory release from prison after serving twothirds 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 sexu- Michael al master/slave Herrera 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 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 twothirds 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 conditions 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 99 return to Canada.

Another court clash is coming in B.C. Supreme Court, where Fraser Surrey Docks is challenging Metro Vancouver’s authority over air quality on federal port lands. It has said it will also seek an air emissions permit from the regional district on a voluntary basis, but expects project construction to begin before Metro staff can assess the application. The $15-million coal facility is to be operational in the fall of 2015.

Opponents of a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River are going to Federal Court to challenge its approval by Port Metro Vancouver. Lawyers for Ecojustice, on behalf of other groups and activists, argue the port authority was wrong to decide the project would have no significant adverse effect on the environment. The port didn’t take into account the end use impact on climate change, they charge. The notice of application for the lawsuit argues the burning in Asia of the four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal that the project will ship each year will be equivalent to one per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. It also alleges port officials were unfair and biased in handling concerns about environmental and health impacts, in part because they collaborated closely with Fraser Surrey Docks on public messaging and monitoring opposition. The claim also alleges port executives will personally benefit from giving the green light because their compensation is tied to the port’s revenue. The case has been filed on behalf of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change, the group Communities and Coal, its founder Paula Williams and Surrey resident Christine Dujmovich, who lives adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks. The project will see an extra train a day of thermal coal from the U.S. roll through White Rock to Fraser Surrey Docks. From there it will be barged to Texada Island for reloading to larger ships. “Local communities will be burdened with the immediate health risks of increased coal transport and then saddled with the impacts of climate change, which are already appearing,” Williams said. “We’re getting hit with a double whammy so that coal companies and the port can make a quick buck.” The port authority did not respond to requests for comment.

Crime in the crosshairs The arrest of Raymond Caissie for the murder of 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch last week has thrown a hand grenade into the upcoming Surrey election campaign, which was already dominated by concerns about crime, policing and public safety. Caissie is a high-profile sex offender who was released from jail in 2013 after serving his full 22-year sentence for the horrific sexual assault of an Abbotsford museum worker. When he was released, the B.C. Corrections Branch and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts issued statements about him being a high risk to re-offend, and warned the public. However, Caissie went on to break his probation, was arrested and jailed in November, and was sentenced to three more months in jail in January. He was once again out in March and began living in Whalley. As many politicians are now saying – after the fact – this man should not have been released from jail. However, there is no way he could have been held there given the laws that are currently in place. He was not ruled a dangerous offender and did not have an indeterminate sentence. Those are the only offenders who can be held in jail indefinitely. We must take what any politician says about this case with a huge grain of salt. They love to trot out platitudes when the

occasion warrants, but do little to change the judicial, parole, monitoring and probation systems. Their hands are often tied by court rulings, even when governments act on legitimate public safety concerns, as the current Conservative federal government has done by passing a number of “get tough on crime” laws. The laws passed are often overthrown or modified by judges after a Charter of Rights challenge. Local governments can do little about sentencing, probation or parole, but they do have a role to play in policing. Surrey RCMP is largely funded by municipal taxes and the size of the detachment is largely set by decisions made by Surrey council. While the RCMP continue to manage the detachment and it is part of the larger federal police force, Surrey RCMP has taken a lot of direction from council and there has been a good working relationship between the detachment and council. One question that remains unanswered is how often Caissie was monitored by local police. There are about 36 general duty officers on the road in Surrey at any one time. Is that sufficient for anything other than occasional monitoring? It seems unlikely.

Surrey has not, as of yet, reached the number of homicides it did last year. However, this case is similar to the murder of Julie Paskall last December. It has galvanized the community and many are fearful about their safety. It has reinforced the view that there are too few police officers on the street and that criminals have free reign. 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, but 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 genuine concerns of Surrey residents. It will also be the last time for four years that residents can hold local politicians accountable.

Prepare for the shorter school year YOUTH VOICE ▼ Japreet Lehal

As students return to school this week after missing two weeks at the beginning of the new school year, many students – especially those in senior high school years – might be worried about post-secondary applications and the studies that they will have to fit into a slightly shorter school year. However, despite the unusual start, students should enter the academic year with an optimistic attitude, while being committed to getting involved and focusing on their studies. For students who plan to enter college or university following their high school education, not only should they focus on which program they wish to enter, but should also do thorough research on finding the program that best fits their needs and goals.

For instance, students would be well-advised to research institutions which have the type of study majors they would like to enrol in, as well as the type of cooperative education programs offered. Furthermore, students should try to visit universities they would like to possibly apply to and speak to current students so they can see if the campus culture fits well with their personality. Many universities offer the opportunity for prospective students to tour the campus and this can be arranged by contacting them. In addition to offering the classroom experience, the educational years are also a time to learn outside of the class and get involved. The university environment plays a crucial role in one’s educational

path and learning about this before committing yourself to an apprenticeship, diploma, or degree program at any institution is important. In addition to researching post-secondary options, students should find out about financial aid and which different options are available to them for financing their studies. It is very important that students apply for scholarships and bursaries. It has been estimated that millions of dollars in scholarships are not claimed by students. A variety of different financial awards are available based on different types of criteria and students should search for these by speaking to their career counsellors at school as well as applying through

▼ TEACHERS WORK HARDER THAN YOU THINK

It amazes me how much misinformation there is about the job of teaching. Letter writer Marilyn Going (Sept. 16) claims that teachers work only 39 weeks a year. What she and many others don’t understand is that while students are in class for 39 weeks, teachers work considerably more than this to ensure student needs are met. Most teachers start coming in to work two weeks before school starts in September, and almost all teachers I know do work on weekends and holidays. Ms. Going also doesn’t factor in all of the hours before and after school to ensure classes are prepped and work is marked, as well as volunteering time for extracurricular activities. As far as wages go we have not had a pay raise in three years. In the new agreement we will get 7.25 per cent over six years. If you adjust that for inflation we are actually taking a wage cut of 8.5 per cent. Letter writer Gertie Pool (Sept. 16) states there are 40,000 teachers in B.C. so by her simple math they each teach only 12.5 students. Classes are not allocated like this. More than 8,000 of that figure are TOCs (substitute teachers) so they are not working in classrooms every day. A further 2,500 are counsellors, librarians, etc. who do not teach classes but do work with children. I encourage people to learn the facts before drawing wild conclusions. Jim Sanderson

No shortage of concerns ▼ SPIRALLING COSTS, SAFETY TOP OF MIND Now that the kids are back to school we can turn our attention to the November civic elections. Wow, Ernst & Young’s report last week really shone light on how out-of-control our municipalities have become with spending – salaries of the highest-paid administrators have risen up to 38 per cent in the last 10 years. What will our newest candidates do about this? As taxpayers (homeowners and businesses), we cannot stand for spiralling costs. I hear some candidates talking about more police officers to combat crime. They are playing on our fears. Yes, some more officers would be good, but how can we do better with what we have now? Let’s look at reducing waste and duplication in all areas of our city. Here’s another one: Put safety first and parking revenue second instead of the other way around. How about painting curbs in front of fire hydrants so residents and visitors to our city know where

▼ BAD DRIVERS WILL BEAR THE BRUNT OF ICBC RATE INCREASES Re: “Harsher penalties for distracted drivers,” Letters, Sept. 16. We do, of course, understand no one likes the news of a rate increase and we don’t like to have to deliver that news but, the fact is, the cost of injury claims in B.C. continues to grow every year – currently at $1.9 billion a year, up by more than $500 million from just five years ago – and a rate increase is needed to cover these costs. Letter writer Angela Allison should be congratulated for her 45 years of safe driving and, due to her clean record, she’ll be getting the largest discount possible on her auto insurance. At the same time, drivers who cause crashes will continue to pay more for their insurance and the proposed rate increase will have an even bigger impact on them.

Warning to charities: ‘Cheque’ out that donation, it may be fake

▶ SURREY FOOD BANK DISAPPOINTED BY $90,000 ‘GIFT’

BOAZ JOSEPH

Marilyn Herrmann still doesn’t know what to make of it. On Wednesday, Sept. 17, a letter arrived at the Surrey Food Bank (SFB) containing a $90,000 cheque, something the charity’s executive director describes as an apparent gift from heaven. She’d seen donation cheques in the thousands-of-dollars 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 (on Sept. 11) in Ontario. The name on the cheque 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, in Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario. 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 it would be 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 meant to deposit. Herrmann isn’t sure if the cheque is the result of identity theft or other activity, but hopes other well-meaning charities don’t get scammed with attempts like these. For now, having lost nothing, all Herrmann has is lingering curiosity. And a memento. “I’ve still got the cheque in front of me.”

Surrey drug dealer was not entrapped, judge rules ▶ WILLIAM JAMES BOLENDER SOLD DRUGS TO AN UNDERCOVER OFFICER SHEILA REYNOLDS

An admitted Surrey cocaine trafficker will be sentenced later this year after failing to convince a judge he was entrapped by police. William James Bolender pleaded guilty to trafficking in and possessing cocaine and heroin in September 2012, but subsequently sought to have the charges stayed, arguing he was entrapped by police investigators. In July 2012, Surrey RCMP’s drug section was tipped to a phone number alleged to be dial-a-dope distribution line. That September, an undercover investigator phoned the number and a man answered. The officer, posing as a customer, said he was looking for a “40.” The man asked the officer his name and where he was. The officer told him he was at a bus stop near 152 Street and 72 Avenue.

No new trial for Surrey child molester ▶ MAN HAD SEX WITH AND TOOK PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF HIS STEP-DAUGHTER SHEILA REYNOLDS

A man found guilty of several child pornography and sex offences – some involving his own step-daughter over a six-year period – has lost a bid for a new trial. In July 2011, the man, who cannot be named as it could identify his victims, was convicted of three sexual offences against his common-law wife’s daughter, two sexual offences against the daughter’s friend, two child pornography charges and one count of uttering threats.

The man, identified as L.V.R. in court documents, was with his common-law wife for about eight years before their relationship ended in 2000. The woman came into the relationship with the daughter and the couple subsequently had a son together. After the break-up, the daughter, who was then about eight, continued to see her step-dad. During the trial, the daughter said her relationship with her dad became sexualized

when she was 10 years old. She said it advanced to sexual intercourse when she was 13 and only stopped when a friend saw them having sex during a sleepover in 2008. The friend testified L.V.R. also rubbed her legs and thighs. The girls were both 16 years old at the time. The friend told the daughter’s mom and police were called. During the investigation, police found 34 nude photographs of the daughter, taken when she was 14 and 15, and one video of L.V.R. having sex with her.

The evidence was found on a computer in the man’s home during the execution of a night search warrant. At trial, L.V.R. testified the relationship was consensual and initiated by the girl. In appealing his conviction, he argued there were no reasonable grounds for the night search and that the search warrant was issued in error. The appeal court judges, however, agreed with the trial judge, who said the seriousness of the matter and disposable nature of the items justified the

night search. L.V.R. also questioned the judge’s reliance on the transcript statement of his step-daughter, which was provided to the judge but not entered as evidence at trial, and said the judge demonstrated favouritism toward the step-daughter. In a Sept. 12 decision, B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Mary Saunders, with Justices Mary Newbury and David Harris in agreement, rejected L.V.R.’s contention he did not receive a fair trial and dismissed the appeal.

Birinder Khangura, 29, was found in his truck just after midnight Saturday in the 14500-block 83A Avenue suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at the scene. Khangura had no criminal record. A white minivan was seen leaving the scene and was later found on fire. “In this early stage we believe this was a targeted shooting,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). It’s Surrey’s 12th murder of the year. Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448.

▶ TRUCK ROLLED DOWN SLOPE WHERE TV SHOW WAS BEING FILMED IN BURNABY WANDA CHOW

A Delta man was killed while working on a Burnaby film set last Monday evening (Sept. 15) after an unattended truck rolled down a slope. The movie shoot was for the science-fiction TV show Falling Skies,

by Invasion Productions. The accident happened at Robert Burnaby Park at about 8:30 p.m. Sept. 15, said WorkSafeBC spokesperson Scott McCloy. The victim was a security guard. While the movie shoot was being set up, a five-ton truck was parked on a six-percent slope and left unattended, McCloy said. “The vehicle tailgate

had been lowered to offload equipment and apparently it rolled backwards down the slope and the deceased was caught between the tailgate and a tree.” The worker was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where he was pronounced dead, said Burnaby RCMP, which confirmed it has seized the vehicle and will be conducting a mechanical inspection as is typically done.

Surrey RCMP responded to a call of shots fired in the 7600-block of 146A Street on Tuesday at 1 a.m. They arrived to find a 21-yearold man who had been shot in the chin with a low-calibre firearm. Investigators were able to determine that four or five individuals entered the home and demanded money from one

The B.C. Coroner’s Service identified the victim as Amrik Singh Gill, 59, of Delta and confirmed it is investigating the incident. WorkSafeBC is investigating what happened and how it can be prevented in the future, McCloy said. “Our intent is to determine if there were any breaches of health and safety regulations that may have led to this unfortunate and very tragic incident.” This is the first fatality, to McCloy’s knowledge, since 1997 when a worker was killed on a film set near Squamish. Actsafe, which promotes health and safety issues in B.C.’s motion picture and performing arts industries, issued a statement Tuesday saying it is awaiting further details from WorkSafeBC and will offer its support in preventing such a tragedy from happening again. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of this member of our community,” said Actsafe’s Geoff Teoli. “We extend our sincere condolences to their family, friends and co-workers during this difficult time.”

Driving Etiquette: Plain Old-Fashioned Good Manners

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

ersonal integrity, good character and good manners are not subjects that get much attention in today’s world. The pervasive electronic media dwells mainly on group rights and group grievances. Any identifiable social problem is to be answered with a call for legislation. Morality expressed as good manners is, in the main, not regarded as useful. With regard to behaviour on the road, legislation that prohibits undesirable activity – for example drunk driving – and provides unpleasant penalties upon conviction, can be highly effective if conscientiously enforced (which it is right now in Canada). Bad manners, however, cannot be legally abolished. The admonition “be ye kind, one to another” no longer resonates in society as it did a hundred years ago. For sure, in Canada we experience public behaviour on the road which is far more benign than in many parts of the world where unrestrained assertion of self-interest finds expression in a driving style which has been described as that of a “madcap road rally”, with no mercy shown to competing drivers. Will we lose this advantage? What to do? Well, the “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” approach to life, buried deep down in our cultural heritage, demands that the following courtesies, among many others, be observed (and in no particular order): 1. Merging. Letting someone who is trying to merge, go ahead, may slow us down by five seconds or so. And as a benefit to us, it may prevent a “merging collision”, which will cost hours if not days of our time to sort out. 2. Stay in the right lane except to pass. Failure to

do so results in speeding left lane aficionados weaving from lane to lane to navigate through traffic, in the style observed in the “dangerous places to drive” list of countries. 3. Yield to bicyclists when it is safe to do so, even if we as motorists technically have the right of way. In a car/bicycle collision the outcome is sometimes fatal, is always worse for the cyclists, and rarely causes more than a scratch to the motorist’s vehicle. This principle should be similar to the rules of the sea, where unwieldy and vulnerable sailing vessels must be shown exceptional courtesy by the more controllable motor vessels. 4. Pedestrians: Always just stepping out into the roadway without looking? It sure seems like that to many of us as drivers. This, however, is the reality (more or less) and will continue to be one of the biggest challenges for motorists in the urban environment. If we assume inattention on the part of people crossing the road, we will not then be surprised by sleep walkers. Give pedestrians the right of way, when it is safe to do so, even if they are not technically entitled to cross the road. 5. The horn: Do not use the horn to show bad temper. This helps no one. If we are waiting to turn left and an oncoming vehicle runs the red, well, maybe we should honk to point out that this behavior did not go unnoticed. For the most part, however, a short sounding of the horn should be reserved for occasions when someone else using the road needs to know of our presence, for their own safety. 6. Emergency Vehicles: Pull over, please. Give way. There may be someone (a child, for example) in the ambulance who is moments from death. We do not want to be the ones who got in the way, and slowed the ambulance’s journey by critical seconds which may contribute to a tragic outcome on the slightly delayed arrival at hospital.

Personal Injury Law, ICBC Claims “Experienced representation for serious injuries”

brought by a group called Citizens for Safe Technology Society (CSTS), which argued that “electrohypersensitivity” (EHS) is a disability. “I have concluded that there is no reasonable prospect that the complainants will be able to establish that the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure resulting from smart meters results in adverse health consequences,” wrote tribunal member Norman Trerise in the decision not to hold a full hearing. CSTS submitted that they don’t have

to prove this sensitivity exists, because the human rights tribunal has accepted “subjective self-reporting of symptoms” in a previous human rights case involving a Lower Mainland bus driver. CSTS also cited a Prince Edward Island Court of Appeal decision that stated “a person may be ill even though there is little or no objective evidence to prove it.” BC Hydro said a series of doctors’ notes supplied by the complainants don’t prove the condition is real, because they appear to be based “entirely on

the self-diagnosis of the individual complainants.” BC Hydro has argued that the exposure from periodic wireless meter signals to send electricity consumption data to collection stations is similar to exposure to radio station signals. BC Hydro said the Human Rights Tribunal doesn’t have jurisdiction over the wireless grid project, and the B.C. Utilities Commission does. The B.C. government’s 2010 Clean Energy Act mandated the wireless grid upgrade, and exempted it from review by the BCUC.

But in 2013 the BCUC reviewed the wireless grid project by FortisBC in the Okanagan and Kootenay region, and rejected CSTS submissions that the technology was a health hazard. CSTS argued that BC Hydro’s offer to relocate the wireless meter to another part of the property was not sufficient relief, and charging meter reading fees to those who want to keep their mechanical meter or have a digital meter with the wireless transmission turned off is discrimination against people with a disability.

Recycling rival to MMBC aims for multi-family buildings ▶ STEWARDCHOICE WOULD INITIALLY TARGET APARTMENTS JEFF NAGEL

A new industry group is seeking provincial approval to oversee recycling pick-up from urban apartments but questions persist over how its plan will work. StewardChoice Enterprises has pitched itself as a parallel offering to Multi-Material BC (MMBC) 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 multi-family 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 Thursday 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 under-

cut 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.

‘Mr. Burns’ to dog Metro Vancouver over incineration ▶ WASTE STRATEGY UNDER FIRE ON CAMPAIGN TRAIL JEFF NAGEL

Opponents of

garbage incineration launched a fresh attack on Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy expansion plan last Tuesday by unveiling a satirical “Mr. Burns” mascot. Kevin Grandia, a consultant fronting what

he calls the Burn Free BC Coalition along with one other activist, said the aim is to pressure local politicians seeking election this fall to resist the Metro plan to build a costly new incinerator.

Invest for today, build for tomorrow.

The concept mirrors the use of a “Mr. Floatie” mascot in Victoria to shame area politicians into supporting a new treatment plant to end the pumping of raw sewage into the ocean. “This election, we, with Mr. Burns in tow, are going to make sure every voter knows about every municipal candidate who supports this plan,” said Grandia, who unveiled the smokestack-styled mascot outside Metro’s annual Zero Waste Conference in Vancouver. And while much discussion inside the conference room focused on innovative solutions to recycle or reduce waste before it reaches the consumer, the question of incineration was broached in a panel discussion. U.S. plastics recycling entrepreneur Michael Biddle said burning plastics ends its potential use as a resource, although he added waste-to-energy has a role because not everything can be recycled. Another speaker

cautioned against over-building incinerators. Metro officials insist they support recycling, reuse and reduction of waste at the design stage before recovering energy from non-recyclable waste instead of landfilling it. But Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross accused them of avoiding the topic of incineration at the conference and in municipal elections this fall. Metro last spring postponed plans to start public consultations on some prospective sites for a new waste-to-energy plant after Nanaimo council rejected one site at Duke Point. Metro has yet to identify other potential sites it has optioned that could be matched with waste-to-energy firms proposing to use various technologies. “It’s the huge elephant in the room,” Ross said. “They’ve gone quiet until after the election because they don’t

Mr. Burns. want it to be an election issue. After that’s over things will happen very, very quickly and it will be too late for people to do anything about it.” Opponents of a new waste-to-energy plant for Metro cite varying concerns, including worse air pollution in the Fraser Valley, high costs and the undermining of greener recycling alternatives. Metro insists its strategy is to increase recycling from an average of 58 per cent

to 80 per cent by 2020, but it will still need more disposal capacity because of its decision to halt use of the Cache Creek landfill. “We’re working hard to get as much recycled material out of the waste stream as possible,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Moore said he believes campaigns opposing Metro’s plan, as well as its Bylaw 280 to keep waste from flowing out of the region, are “completely funded” by two companies that operate the Cache Creek landfill and haul Metro garbage to distant landfills. “In my opinion, Belkorp and BFI are absolutely the ones funding all of the anti-Metro Vancouver messaging going on.” Moore said the delay in waste-to-energy consultations is because negotiations for prospective sites have proven complex, not due to political reasons. continued on page 24

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.

Metro waste incinerator emissions drop ▶ UPGRADE DOESN’T GO AS FAR AS FVRD IS DEMANDING JEFF NAGEL

A mostly complete upgrade at Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy incinerator in south Burnaby has already sharply reduced emissions that contribute to smog. Metro Vancouver Solid Waste Manager Paul Henderson said there’s been a more than 25-per-cent drop in nitrogen oxides released and those emissions should drop by nearly another one-third by the end of the year to less than half of the 2013 average. The $7-million emission control system upgrade is the latest improvement at the region’s Waste-To-Energy Facility, but the Fraser Valley Regional District has challenged the plant’s operating certificate renewal, demanding the province impose much tighter emission limits and monitoring requirements. Metro’s incinerator normally contributes about 0.9 per cent of the Lower Mainland’s nitrogen oxide emissions, but Henderson said that has now fallen to 0.6 per cent and should hit 0.4 per cent by year-end. The incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year and the region is continuing its push to add a new waste-to-energy plant with a further 370,000-tonne capacity. It would burn garbage that isn’t recycled and will no longer be shipped to the Cache Creek landfill. The existing plant had an unrelated setback in August when a turbine rotor blade broke, forcing the incinerator to halt the generation and sale of electricity to BC Hydro. Power generation is offline until at least mid-October. Metro expects to make up the for the power revenue loss next year, because a scheduled maintenance shutdown in 2015 has been moved up to coincide with the current downtime.

▶ PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR SORTING from page 22

He said most Metro board directors continue to support the regional district’s waste strategy, adopted in mid-2010, despite criticism from a few councillors in some municipalities. Belkorp Environmental Services Vice-President Russ Black denied the firm is funding anti-Metro campaigns. He released a poll conducted by Abacus Data showing 74 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents would support a two-year freeze by the regional district on work to build a new incinerator while alternatives

are explored. Belkorp subsidiary NextUse Recycling has proposed to build a mixed-waste material recovery plant in Coquitlam that Black argues could sort and extract recyclables from garbage to reduce how much must be burned or landfilled. The poll found few people were aware of the material recovery idea but 91 per cent supported it after it was described to them by the Belkorp-commissioned polling firm. It found 32 per cent of respondents thought incinerators were a good way of dealing with waste that can’t be recycled, while 17 per cent listed landfills.

Finding that perfect match, one cat at a time â&#x2013;ś ONE OF THE FIRST RESIDENTS OF THE NEW SPCA CENTRE HAS FOUND A HOME

But he found a home, too, with a human who understands his unique charms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely matchmakers,â&#x20AC;? Weleschuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all about finding the right family for the right cat.â&#x20AC;? Adoptions took off this summer, with 22 animals finding new homes in June, 27 in July, and 21 in August. Most of those were cats, but some budgies and small animals found new homes, too. Weleschuk is understandably proud that

JENNIFER LANG

It took a few long months, but Patches has finally found a forever home. The mature tabby was one of the first residents of the B.C. SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surrey Education and Adoption Centre, which opened March 1 in Cloverdale. It was discovered after arrival that he suffered from a painful mouth condition and required oral surgery. Thanks to the generosity of a local donor, Patches underwent treatment, and healed beautifully. Photos of Patches lounging contentedly in his new home were recently shared on the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of dozens of success stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love posting them on Facebook,â&#x20AC;? says branch manager Rodney Weleschuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just confirmation that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adjusting well to their new home.â&#x20AC;?

the Cloverdale facility is keeping pace with the two other B.C. SPCA adoption centres in the Lower Mainland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Richmond and Port Coquitlam â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is gaining on Maple Ridge, a full shelter with dozens of animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really reaching what my goals are,â&#x20AC;? Weleschuk said. Success lies in matching the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and wants with the adoptive familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The formula places a lot of emphasis on conversing with prospective pet guard-

ians well before any paperwork is filled out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good match is a forever home,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Surrey Education and Adoption Centre property is home to the BC SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruelty investigations staff. Renovations are nearly complete on a barn that will soon house seized livestock. The education centre welcomed its first childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day camps this summer, and a fenced bunny patch is in the works â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as is a chicken coop.

Patchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long wait was something of an exception at the new centre, which combines a store selling everything a new pet will need with animal enclosures for about eight cats, plus rabbits, hamsters, birds and other small animals. The centre complements what the city animal shelter does by fast-tracking the adoption process for overpopulated pets. Surrey has a serious cat overpopulation problem and is home to what some observers believe are thousands of strays. Bentley, a steel grey cat with jade eyes and an â&#x20AC;&#x153;owlyâ&#x20AC;? personality, was another challenge.

Transit cop pushes his comfort zone to ride for kids with cancer ▶ TOUR DE VALLEY LEG OF COPS FOR CANCER RIDE KICKS OFF TODAY EVAN SEAL

Beginning today (Sept. 25), police officers and emergency personnel from across B.C. will be winding their way through the Fraser Valley – including Delta and Surrey – as part of the Tour de Valley leg of

the annual Cops for Cancer ride to raise money to fight childhood cancer. For one local rider, the experience has been truly inspiring. A few years ago, Transit Police Const. Justin Sutton was not much of a cyclist.

In fact, he felt more at home in the gym lifting weights than riding a bike. When a high school friend who was battling cancer asked if he wanted to participate in a ride to Seattle in support of cancer research he was hesitant, but agreed. Last year Sutton rode a motorcycle as part of the support crew for the Cops for Cancer ride but this year, he’s his hitting

the road on a bicycle. “A couple of years ago, I didn’t own a bike and really hadn’t done much riding,” said Sutton. “But I really enjoyed the ride to Seattle, so when I heard about Cops For Cancer, I thought, ‘if I can ride to Seattle, I can do this too’.” Sutton recently spent some time at Camp Goodtimes, an outdoor adventure camp in Maple Ridge for kids with cancer, and that’s when the

Const. Justin Sutton is one of more than 100 police officers and emergency personnel taking part in the annual Cops for Cancer ride. PHOTO SUBMITTED

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.

The one and den, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor), expansive windows and large terraces and patios. Boffo is known for high-quality work, but the kitchen is particularly spectacular.

The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/shower combination. The bathrooms include builtin niches and a radiant heated porcelain floor to make you feel like you’re entering a spa, a feeling magnified by the custom suspended under-lit vanities and stone countertops. On-site, homeowners will find a lounge with chef ’s catering kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions and pool tables. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room. Residents will find everything they can imagine on their front doorstep. From dining to shopping at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach.

Morningstar Homes will celebrate the grand opening of Robertson Heights in Maple Ridge this week. With six different floorplans to explore and the amazing features that Morningstar is known for, the community is expected to be a resounding success.

The street of dreams at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has had great success with their first Maple Ridge project, The Summit at Grant Hill. 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.

Perfect Pegasus in first ▶ SURREY SQUAD ATOP PREMIER DIVISION WITH THREE WINS IN THREE GAMES RICK KUPCHUK

ICST Pegasus made in three in a row to start the Vancouver Metro Soccer League season, blanking Inter FC 2-0 to remain tied for first place in the Premier Division. Pegasus has a perfect 3-0-0 (won-tied-lost) record, a mark matched only by West Van FC. The two co-leaders are four points up on the third-place Surrey United Firefighters. Sahil Sandhu netted both goals for Pegasus. He netted the winner after 30 minutes of play, converting his own

rebound, then added an insurance goal just before full-time. Pegasus will visit 1-1-1 Croatia SC in Vancouver Friday night. Surrey United, one of five teams still unbeaten three games into the season, played the Langley Hurricanes to a 2-2 tie at Cloverdale Athletic Park Sunday afternoon. The Firefighters took a 2-0 lead in the first half, as Angus Burke scored in the 15th minute then assisted on a goal by Dylan Sheehan. The Hurricanes responded with a goal just before halftime, then knotted the score with a half hour to play. With a win and two ties in three starts, United is alone in third place while Langley sits in a tie for seventh place with three ties in three

games. Surrey’s third Premier Division team, CCBRT United is still looking for its first victory after falling 4-2 to EDC Burnaby. United’s first goal came from Taku Bradshaw, who scored an unassisted goal early in the game to tie the score 1-1. Burnaby was up 3-1 when the Surrey squad was reduced to 10-men. CCBRT United cur the difference to one goal when Justin Sidhu had his shot go in the net off a defender. Burnaby added a fourth goal late in the game, leaving United with a 0-1-2 record, tied for last place in the 12team Premier Division.

Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

Pioneers of racing roar into recognition â&#x2013;ś LOCAL TRIO INDUCTED INTO MOTORSPORT SOCIETY LAST WEEKEND IN CLOVERDALE JENNIFER LANG

Three Surrey residents have inducted into the Greater Vancouver Motorsports Pioneers Society Saturday in Cloverdale. Carl Blomfeldt, Dwain Kremyr and Art Brumpton were among 17 new inductees to be honoured at the 14th annual induction ceremony last Saturday Shannon Hall. Blomfeldt was inducted for his long career in motorcycle racing. He helped introduce speedway motorcycle racing to Vancouver fans in the 1980s, and went on to race in the United States and Europe. An engine builder and tuner, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with riders who became world champions. This year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in Poland helping another young rider achieve international recognition.

Pioneer drag racer Kremyr got his first car at 12, a 1950 Meteor he used to learn to drive, and by the time he was 15, he and his brother were building a 1949 Thames into a drag racing car. After buying a famous 1957 Thunderbird called Blackbird in 1971, Kremyr continued campaigning it at Mission Raceways. He went on to build cars for customers, something he still does at Kremyr Racing in Cloverdale. Brumpton, another Cloverdale resident, was inducted as a Motorsports Pioneer for his contributions as a hotrod and custom car enthusiast. A past president of the B.C. Hot Rod Association, he raced Corvettes in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Track racing, hot rods and custom cars remain a passion for Brumpton. Cars in his garage include a modified 1929 Ford roadster pickup, a 1966 Chevrolet Impala station wagon, a 1957 Chevrolet BelAir and a 1939 Ford sedan.

A goal from the penalty spot was the difference in the game, as Jacob Starheim of North Delta notched the winner in the 83rd minute. Eagles netminder Ashbir Paul earned his second consecutive shutout. KPU played the fifth-place Langara Falcons to a 2-2 tie Sunday, also in Newton. Langara, winners of just one of seven games to start the season, surprised the Eagles with a goal just two minutes into the game. Kwantlen drew even less than 20 minutes later when Abdul Kulan took a pass from Rylan

Sangha before scoring. Holy Cross high school graduate Dalton San put KPU up 2-1 in the 34th minute. KPU dominated play for much of the game, but were forced to settle for the tie after the Falcons scored with just over a minute to play.

▶ “We set up some great scoring chances...” SRDJAN DJEKANOVIC

“It was a tough battle, we always know it’s going to be a physical game versus Langara,” said KPU head coach Srdjan Djekanovic, “We set up some great scoring chances but just couldn’t finish them off.” KPU finished the weekend at 3-3-1 (won-lost-tied), and are in second place in the PACWEST, a point up on the Royals. Kwantlen will visit the fourth-place Quest Kermodes (2-2-3) Saturday in Squamish before hosting the undefeated Vancouver Island Mariners (5-2-0) Sunday at 2 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park. The KPU Eagles women’s team pulled off a huge upset Saturday in Newton, handing the first-

place Royals their first loss of the season by a 2-1 score. Douglas, winners of all five games prior to Saturday’s contest, opened the scoring in the 24th minute. The Eagles continued to attack and tied the scored 10 minutes later when Lexie Gillette finished a cross from Sands Secondary graduate Megan Talabar. KPU got the winner with 16 minutes to play when Talabar found the net. “After the Douglas goal went in, they didn’t hang their heads and I knew we would score,” said KPU women’s head coach Julie King. “The intensity, the work ethic, the want, the focus, everything was there today and we realized the benefits. We were strong today because we all did our part and played the role we were supposed to play.” The Eagles played Langara to a scoreless draw Sunday, with Chantalle Bracken earning the shutout in the KPU goal. At 2-2-3, the Eagles visit the fifth-place Quest Kermodes (13-3) Saturday in Squamish. The top four teams in the PACWEST standings will advance to the postseason. Sunday at noon at Newton Athletic Park, the second-place Vancouver Island Mariners are the visitors.

Coastal FC to host U18 soccer nationals Valley West swept ▶ BOYS, GIRLS TO PLAY NEXT MONTH AT SOUTH SURREY ATHLETIC PARK NICK GREENIZAN

Some 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 tour-

naments – 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

Legal Description:

028-004-396 Lot 6 Section 24 Township 1 NWD Plan BCP41831

Property Description:

The property is a ±7,690 m² (1.9 Acre) vacant, unserviced site located in the Grandview Heights NCP Area in South Surrey close to the intersection of 28 Avenue and 160 Street. It is zoned Comprehensive Development (CD) Zone, and is designated as future “Urban” in the City’s Official Community Plan and “Proposed Open Space/Linear Open Space, Large Transition Lots, and Single Detached” in the North Grandview Heights NCP Area. A ±4,915 m² (1.214 Acre) portion of the property has the potential to be rezoned to permit subdivision into single-family residential lots and cluster housing.

The City intends to retain fee simple ownership in the Statutory Right-of-Way Area to facilitate a future sanitary sewer and a public green pathway. Interested persons or parties should submit their offer(s) to purchase the Developable Area to the City of Surrey, Realty Services Division, Engineering Department, 13450 - 104 Avenue, Surrey, BC, V3T 1V8 before 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 9, 2014.

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.

Looking past the two losses, there were more positives than negatives in the first weekend of play for the Valley West Hawks said 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 at the Kinsman Arena. “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.” Special teams was a huge factor in the first game, with each team scoring three times with the man advantage. Valley West opened the scoring, with team captain Luke Gingras of Langley 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 powerplay 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. Cariboo then added three goals in the final 13 minutes of play. Valley West trailed for much of Sunday’s rematch, but battled throughout the game. 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 tie the score. Stewart netted his second goal of the weekend midway through the game. The Cougars got the winner two minutes before the second intermission. “Sunday was a game that showed me the team has a lot of character,” said Leung. “We had some trouble getting things going, but we didn’t quit.” The Hawks will be the home team next weekend for a pair of games with the Thompson Blazers in Richmond, part of the MML Showcase.

Local photographers honoured in ‘Your Best Shot’ competition ▶ TWO SURREY RESIDENTS WIN IN CONTEST SPONSORED BY BLACK PRESS AND LONDON DRUGS EVAN SEAL

Four local amateur photographers have been recognized for their images captured at this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow. More than 2,000 photographers from 35 different communities across the province entered the “Your Best Shot” contest sponsored by Black Press and London Drugs. Seventy finalists were then selected and given VIP passes to the Abbotsford Airshow, where they then entered three photographs in three different categories Best Air Photo, Best Static Photo and Best Crowd Photo, along with one wildcard entry by each photographer. Each winning entry

was judged by a panel of professional photographers. For aircraft maintenance engineer and Surrey resident Steve Dutt, winning the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year Award was an honour, but also came as quite a shock. “I’ve always had an artistic flair,” said Dutt, “and I’ve always liked photography, but I’ve never really had any opportunity to dive into it.” Dutt also won first place in the Best Crowd Photo category for a close-up shot of a young child holding a toy airplane. “One of the photos that was picked for me to be one of the 70 finalists was actually shot on my iPhone” said Dutt laughing. “That’s why I’m still in shock.” Along with the top title, Dutt was awarded a $250 London Drugs gift certificate. Another Surrey photographer, Ken McAllis-

ter, won first place and a $750 London Drugs gift certificate in the Best Air Photo category with his shot of two P51 Mustangs he captured during an evening show. McAllister, a web developer, recently purchased a D7000 Nikon and rented a 70-400mm lens for the event. “It was a great event and we were treated so well,” said McAllister. “It was so much fun, I’ll

be entering again next year for sure.” Abbotsford’s Paul Kendall won a $250 gift certificate for his Best Static Photo, and Christina Dutkowski of Mission took home the People’s Choice Award. Dutkowski won tickets to the Brad Paisley concert. All of the winners also received tickets to an upcoming Alan Jackson concert and Surrey golf passes.

A Broadway benefit ▶ SINGERS ONCE AGAIN CONVERGE ON STAGE FOR A SHOW TUNE-FILLED PRODUCTION THAT DOUBLES AS A FUNDRAISER FOR THE SURREY FOOD BANK ALEX BROWNE

If 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 highly worthwhile cause. It’s jointly presented by the food bank with principal sponsors Envision Financial and Da Vaughn Studios – and, as always, 100 per cent of ticket proceeds go directly to the bank’s programs to help those in need in the community. “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 five-year 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. “With those you can’t go wrong,” Simmons said. “The 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 Chelsea Rose Tucker, who Surrey audiences will remember from her riveting villain, Ivana Castacurski – and an electrifying performance of I Put A Spell On You – in last year’s Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society panto 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-see-here?’ moments.” The couple notes that Tucker will be heading to Toronto soon and her star is clearly on the rise in the musical theatre world. “I don’t think we’ll be able to afford to work with her again!” Da Vaughn quipped. Returning is powerhouse Langley-based performer Tamara Croft, who has the knack of making any song – particularly an emotional ballad – her own. “I don’t think we’d ever do any project like this without Tamara,” Da Vaughn said. “We love her grace, and she has a voice to die for as well.” “She’s such a powerful presence,” Simmons added. “She doesn’t just learn the notes and come out and sing it for you – she really projects a song.” The couple is also thrilled to count seasoned musical theatre performer Gordon Roberts as part 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. While it’s not as dance-heavy a show as last year, Elizabeth Lay, daughter of show producer Lyn Verra-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.

Stewart Farm shows that Drills and drools these gardens have history ▶ RECRUITING BEGINS FOR THRILL THE WORLD SURREY’S ZOMBIE ARMY

▶ DIG THIS!, A NEW EXHIBIT, UNEARTHS EARLY GARDENING PRACTICES

JENNIFER LANG

It’s the news zombie Michael Jackson fans have been waiting for: Thrill the World Surrey is bringing a worldwide phenomenon to the Cloverdale Youth Park on Saturday, Oct. 25, giving would-be participants enough time to hone their “Thriller” dance moves. The event will bring together all ages and dance abilities to re-enact the King of Pop’s Thriller dance in step with people all over the world doing the same thing, at the same time, dressed as the zombie army from the immortal 1984 video, directed by John Landis.

BLACK PRESS

Dig down to the roots of gardening at the Historic Stewart Farm with their new feature exhibition “Dig This!”, on display Sept. 20 to Nov. 1. The new exhibit explores early gardening practices that are influencing and informing gardens of today and tomorrow. Artifacts and photos from Surrey’s collections tell the stories behind the growing business (and pleasure) of backyard gardening, while paintings from members of the South Surrey and White Rock Art Society and other local artists provide a beautiful surrounding. Visitors to the exhibit will discover interesting facts about gardening in Surrey, such as: • The Tynehead Women’s Institute, formed in 1909 (the first Women’s Institute in the Lower Mainland of B.C.), held flower shows in Surrey as early as 1918. • Crooked cucumbers were a sign of social disgrace to Victorian gardeners; • Tulips, the City of Surrey and the B.C. Premier’s Office share a common element in their histories. • While the blooms of summer are fading, there is still much to do in the garden. Check out the fall gardening tips in the exhibition for ideas of what to do next. Exhibit hours are Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-4 p.m. (and other days by appointment). Entrance is by donation. The Historic Stewart Farm is located at 13723 Crescent Rd. in South Surrey. For more information, call 604-5926956, visit www. surrey.ca/heritage or follow Twitter at @ StewartFarm1

FACEBOOK Last year, more than 6,400 zombies in 22 countries took part, creating yet another a new world record, and for the first time, Thrill The World is coming Surrey. “Thrill Time” is 3 p.m. sharp Oct. 25, organizers say, and the event runs from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Cloverdale Youth Park, 6188 176 St. There are practice sessions for those who would like to

participate, but don’t know the dance. Classes and practices are by donation, in support of the Surrey Food Bank. Additional sponsors and volunteers to assist at the event are needed.

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.

Black Bear

Backwoods black bear encounter 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. 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 noise 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 continued on page 56

At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change.

Zack Spencer

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. Looks It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the

the river. I continued on the road for another 10 minutes and around a tight corner, still thinking about the bear when all of a sudden I see a big patch of black sprinting in front of my truck. I eased up on the throttle and watched another bear running down the road. He was quite scared so I gave him lots of room. He jumped off the road and down a steep hill taking out several small trees on the way down. I felt a little sorry for him having to do that. I couldn’t see him anymore but I was sure he was ok. The idea of fishing was suddenly less appealing. After all two bears in one day were enough. I usually do not see any. The two-hour drive back produced another four bears in different positions along the road. The moral of this story four-wheeling is fun but be careful out there, especially in bear country . . . which is virtually everywhere in BC.

switches and dials that looks 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 Jetta’s come standard with is a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-to-side. This really is a mid-size car that starts at a compact car price. Drive 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 reminds visitors that this is historic country; Middleburg witnesses action during the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrian themed 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 impres-

sive 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 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 provides 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 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 belowunder the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? – That’s a tough decision. zack.spencer@ drivewaybc.ca
