▶ JUDGE TO DELIVER VERDICT IN SURREY SIX MASSACRE
Eileen Mohan’s son Christopher was an innocent bystander when he was killed in a mass murder in a Surrey apartment building in 2007. Today, Mohan will learn the fate of two men accused in his death and the murders of five others. EVAN SEAL

Two men on trial for the execution-style mass murder of six men in Surrey seven years ago will find out their fates today (Thursday). Accused killers Cody Haevischer and Matt Johnston were expected to hear a decision from Justice Catherine Wedge in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Thursday. (Check www.surreyleader.com for updates). Haevischer and Johnston were each charged with conspiracy to murder drug dealer Corey Lal and with the first-degree murder
of Lal and his brother Michael, Eddie Narong, Ryan Bartolomeo and innocent victims Ed Schellenberg and Christopher Mohan. Mohan, 22, lived in a Whalley apartment unit next to the one where the murders occurred on Oct. 19, 2007 and was headed out to a basketball game with friends when he was pulled into the death suite. Schellenberg was a gas fitter from Abbotsford who happened to be servicing fireplaces in the Balmoral Tower building that day. The other four young men had links to the drug trade and were visiting apartment

#1505, where drugs were manufactured and packaged for sale on the street. The nine-month trial of Haevischer and Johnston began last September, calling 73 witnesses over 80 days of testimony. The Crown’s theory in the so-called Surrey Six case was that the Red Scorpions, prompted by notorious gangster Jamie Bacon, planned to kill rival drug dealer Lal over a turf dispute, but that the five other men were shot to death to eliminate any possible witnesses. A third accused, Mike Le, who co-found-
ed the Red Scorpion gang with Bacon, was initially on trial alongside Haevischer and Johnston. But in December, Le pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder Corey Lal and was sentenced to spend a further three years in jail. (He spent about four-and-a-half years prior). He then testified against his former gang mates, telling the court both of the accused told him about the murders shortly after they took place in 2007. continued on page 13

Surrey could be ‘one of the safest cities in Canada’ â–ź COUN. BARINDER RASODE WANTS DELTA’S CHIEF OF POLICE JIM CESSFORD TO BE NEW DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY KEVIN DIAKIW
It’s just before midnight on Dec. 20 and what sounds like distant machine gun fire is hitting the side of a Clayton house. A glance outside the window reveals a couple of drunken teens pulling Christmas lights from the building. But the homeowner’s call to 911 is met with laughter. Delayed or no police response to minor incidents is a story heard often in Surrey, but in Delta, where they practice “no call is too small� policing, cops attend everything. Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford says not only is it possible to implement the same strategy in Surrey, it’s crucial. Cessford, who is retiring from Delta in February, is being eyed for a position as a senior crime-fighting boss in Surrey. One of his tasks would be bringing in the Delta model. Coun. Barinder Rasode, a Surrey mayoral candidate, has been working with Cessford for months on her crime-fighting plan. Rasode wants to create a position of director of public safety within Surrey – a deputy city manager who would oversee police, fire, the legal department and bylaws. Rasode wants Cessford in the running. She said she repeatedly hears from Surrey residents that they want a model of policing like Delta, where every call is attended by police.
Can it be done in Surrey? “Absolutely,â€? said Cessford, adding he would be interested in the job. The no-call-too-small approach is a proven method, he said. “That’s what they did in New York. They went right down to graffiti and fare evasion‌ they went right back to basic policing,â€? Cessford said in an exclusive interview with The Leader on Monday at Rasode’s Community Hub in Newton. Cessford is not officially endorsing Rasode as a candidate. As a police chief, he said he can’t, and won’t, get into politics. He said he’s driven by best-practices policing and making communities safer. That said, he likes Rasode’s approach, partly because he had a lot to do with it. Cessford’s plan includes the immediate hiring of 200 â–ś “You’re community safety personnel – trained like police officers going to go to but unarmed – at a cost of $8 million annually. communities and Under his watch, these officers find out what the would attend calls such as the Christmas lights theft, vehicle problems are, and fender-benders and other lowthen you’re going risk incidents.

“I do see Surrey as an opportunity,” Cessford said, adding he has a daughter and a granddaughter living in Newton. He saw TV coverage of a Sept. 28 rally in Newton which caused him great concern. “(Residents are) getting mad,” he said, adding he wants community members to be vigilant, not vigilantes. But that’s what sometimes happens when police aren’t answering calls, he said. Cops need to address the small calls

before they turn into big ones. As an example, Cessford said a few years ago, Delta Police received a call from a man who was angered about noisy frogs in his yard. When police arrived, the man was in severe distress and was clearly unstable. “There were several things that could have happened here,” Cessford said. “He could have committed suicide. He could have loaded up a shotgun or something and walked into a McDonalds and said, ‘Now I’m going to get the attention. You wouldn’t
come… I know you’ll come now’. ” Community-based policing is key, Cessford said. “It’s in-your-face policing,” he said. “You’re going to go to communities and find out what the problems are, and then you’re going to get in the face of those problems and solve them. And you’re going to eliminate them.” Cessford said the RCMP has some amazing officers and he looks forward to working with them. In his view the force needs to build on what’s working and scrap what isn’t.

ford said. “I think closing that gap between the RCMP, city hall and the community would be critical.” He said Surrey needs to start by cutting crime off at the root and reduce the number of calls police get. “When I came to Delta in 1995, we were going to about 45,000 calls a year,” Cessford said. “When we implemented community-based policing and went into problem solving and looked at eliminating root causes of problems, we’re down to about 27,000 calls a year now.” He said it’s not just a strategy for mid-sized communities like Delta. It works in larger cities, too. “We did the same thing in Edmonton and it’s about twice the size of Surrey,” Cessford said. And the public plays an important role in identifying problems, he said. In Edmonton, Cessford said, police said “we’re going to do it with the community, rather than to the community. We’re not going to tell the community what their problems are, they’re going to tell us.” Cessford believes change will require an advocate, by way of the deputy public safety officer, who can help close the gap between police, the community and council. And Rasode, who was the caller laughed at by emergency dispatch when her Christmas lights were being stolen, said it’s time Surrey residents got the level of policing they deserve. She was expected to announce her crime-fighting plan this morning (Thursday).

Other mayoral candidates are also planning aggressive attacks on Surrey’s crime problem. Surrey First mayoral hopeful Linda Hepner is planning to hire 100 police officers in the next two years. The coalition is expected to release further details of its crime fighting plan soon. Former mayor Doug McCallum said he will hire 95 officers by 2015, double the number of bylaw officers from 24 to 48 and invest $4 million in crime prevention groups. Independent mayoral candidate John Edwards said the Surrey RCMP need to reduce the number of officers away on leave, pointing out Surrey can’t wait two years for more police. Mayoral candidate Vikram Bajwa said he wants to create a municipal force like Vancouver’s or Delta’s. Cessford met with Rasode months ago to discuss how things in Surrey could change from a policing perspective. “We talked about the fact that we’d like Surrey to be one of the safest cities in Canada,” Cessford said. “We actually believe that we can make that happen.” Cessford has already announced his plan to retire as police chief from Delta. However, in his 46 years of policing, 20 of which will have been as Delta’s chief of police (the longest serving chief in the country), Cessford has never been able to turn down a challenge. And he sees none greater than the crime problem in Surrey. “The challenge to me here would be really quite interesting,” Cess-

Last week we asked: In the wake of recent violent crimes, are you considering leaving Surrey? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 45% No 55%
Crime: Part of our fabric It is no small coincidence that the verdict in the Surrey Six murder trial is coming down today (Thursday), at a time when Surrey residents are fed up to the teeth with the murder and mayhem in this city. On Oct. 19, 2007, six men were murdered in a Whalley highrise as part of a turf war between rival drug gangs. As citizens reel from the latest murder of Serena Vermeersch, another completely innocent victim, on Sept. 16, let’s not forget the long string of previous murders and the many innocent victims – Chris Mohan and Ed Schellenberg among them. Let’s not forget Julie Paskall, a hockey mom who was at Newton Arena to pick up her son on Dec. 31, 2013 when she was murdered. It is unfortunate that the anger which erupts when a particularly brutal incident, which certainly applies to all three of the crimes mentioned, cannot be sustained. However, when it dissipates, the politicians, judges, lawyers and law enforcement officials who often play an unwitting role in these crimes by their action or inaction, get off the hook. A discussion I took part in a few days ago reminded me of just how long this has been
going on – and the crime I was discussing with people is only memorable because of its utter brutality. It left an impression on Surrey that has never gone away, and perhaps it never will. The online discussion was with several people who were children in Surrey at the time of Clifford Olson’s reign of terror, way back in 1981. Olson lived in a highrise on King George Highway, within sight of the highrise that was the scene of the Surrey Six murder decades later. In the spring and summer of 1981, Olson was busy snatching children and teens off the street and murdering them. He was convicted of 11 murders, but most police involved in his case agree there were many more murders. Not all the child killings he was convicted of took place in Surrey, but far too many did. There has been a long series of tragic incidents in this city. At some point in time, we as a community need to ask ourselves why. Surrey is filled with mostly peaceable people who have come here from all over the world. Many who live here grew up here or nearby. Most Surrey residents want better lives for their families and work hard to
try and make that happen. Unfortunately, there is a strong underbelly of drug dealers, low-lifes and predators with tentacles in far too many places. Surrey RCMP is now the largest detachment in Canada, and has many excellent officers on staff. However, many of them are new to policing and to the RCMP and coming to this city as a first assignment is undoubtedly overwhelming. Most citizens feel that the police have too few resources to keep up with all the criminal activity, to say nothing of trying to monitor ex-cons like Raymond Caissie, who has been charged in the Vermeersch murder. Another infamous Surrey moment was when the Whalley Burnouts made national news in the 1980s and made the city a laughing stock from coast to coast. Surrey doesn’t need to be this way. However, it will take strong and sustained action by thousands of citizens to change it. Don’t count on any politicians to make it better. Ultimately, it is up to all of us.

Learning to trust the maternal instinct PINK LAUNDRY ▼ Kristyl Clark
It seems like just yesterday that we carried our firstborn into the school board office to decide on her fate. Little Miss Molly was just three months old and we were your typical first-time parents – nervous about making any wrong decisions. Would our pint-size Picasso grow up to be an artist? With that in mind we eagerly checked the box signing her up for the Fine Arts School. “What about French Immersion?” I suggested to my husband Jason. “Oui,” he replied, ticking off that box too. There was also the fundamental school and Montessori program on the list. Check and check. Neither of us knew anything about the latter two schools, but figured there was no point in limiting our bambina’s educa-
tional potential. Fast forward five years later – five of the fastest years of our lives – and there we were trying to decide which school to send our future kindergartner to. Since we registered her for school practically straight out of the womb, there were no shortage of options. Despite deciding on one of the “choice schools” from that list five years prior, I was second-guessing myself. Had I made the right decision registering her for a school across town? Going there would mean committing to driving Molly and eventually her little sister, Zoe, to and from school for the next 12 years. Play dates would become complicated – would we still hear little knocks at the door from school mates spontaneously popping by to play? And yet, even with all this in mind, I felt
paralyzed with crippling “choice”’ anxiety. Maybe I was just being lazy? Or was I selfish? Perhaps a combo of both? When it doubt, I did what many daughters do in turmoil. I called my mom. Growing up in a low-income single-parent family, we moved. A lot. For myself, it meant being the new kid eight times, which wasn’t always easy. “You went to regular schools and look how you turned out,” said my mother during a phone call. “Life is hard enough, why make it more complicated? I really think you’re over-thinking this.” It wasn’t until dropping Molly off for her first day at her neighbourhood school, just a hop, skip and puddle jump away, that I realized mom was right – and I’m not just talking about my own mother.

“Mommy, all my friends from preschool are here and they have a library and water fountains too!” said our little cherubic scholar, who was grinning from dimple-to-dimple when I picked her up from her first day of kindergarten. On the way home she skipped through puddles and waved to new friends who we discovered live in our same complex.

Who’s fault was it really?
Re: “Loss of life a huge price to pay for broken system: Watts.” The murder of 17-year-old Serena Vermeersch is a horrific crime. People are understandably outraged and the accusations of culpability are deafening. Predictably there are no shortage of fingers happy to blame “a broken system.” This tendency to scapegoat is misguided. Was the justice system at fault? The judge who gave Raymond Caissie a 22-year sentence noted at sentencing that he was “a very serious danger to the public” and would likely offend again. The police were able to give a warning about his location in Surrey and the mayor was indignant at the time, but within legal parameters, there was nothing left to be done. Perhaps this offence is a result of inadequate policing? Certainly there will be political opportunists to suggest that option.
Coun. Barinder Rasode, running for mayor of Surrey, has based a large part of her campaign on it. Few would argue that an area the size and complexity of Surrey needs more police officers. Unfortunately, sick and aberrant offenders have always been present in society and they will never disappear. But would that mean that there would have been a police officer, in that park, at that moment, to save Serena? Not likely. As much as we would like, the justice system will never be able to fully contain predators. The politicians should spare the public their moral outrage and “broken system” pronouncements particularly as they are, after all, the system. Ms. Vermeersch’s murder is a heinous crime. Pretending that we could have prevented it is a further insult to her young life. Alexis Statz

But no matter how heinous the crime, how clearcut the guilt, how unlikely the prospect of rehabilitation, or how much some offenders clearly deserve it, the death penalty isn’t likely to fly in Canada anytime soon. Maybe a step in the right direction would be to do away with segregation and protective custody in prisons for all of the Clifford Olsons and Robert Picktons and their ilk. Let them socialize for a while, make new friends, and then likely save taxpayers a bundle of money in the process. Dave McInnis
Black Press launches 4Good crowdfunding initiative ▶ CHARITABLE PROJECTS, CAUSES AND CAMPAIGNS WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER THEIR MESSAGE ONLINE BLACK PRESS
B.C. communities care. So do the Black Press newspapers that directly serve those communities. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of every Black Press community newspaper, including The Surrey-North Delta Leader. This publication is now part of an exciting new initiative undertaken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communities, and provide a new opportunity for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring. BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowdfunding to Black Press readers. Charitable projects, causes and campaigns will now be able to deliver their message on the
community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources. “Crowdfunding provides a means for individuals,organizations and businesses to raise money by appealing to the public,” explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press. “This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. In addition to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation. Anyone can set up a campaign, however there are safeguards in place to ensure each campaign is legitimate,” Franklin said. Black Press launches this new community service on Oct. 1, in partnership with FundRazr, the platform at the roots of BlackPress4Good.com. More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised
in excess of $50 million via FundRazr. Fundraisers register online via the link on this newspaper’s website home page, provide information about their objectives and fund recipients, and their project profiles are then posted on a dedicated website page to reach out to readers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system. Less than 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black Press to recover the administration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initiative. Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good. com/ Black Press is Canada’s largest independently owned newspaper company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

Sexual assault: Connect the dots ▶ CAMPAIGN LETS WOMEN KNOW THEY CAN REPORT ATTACKS ANONYMOUSLY SHEILA REYNOLDS
You’ve been sexually assaulted. You’re terrified and humiliated and you assume no one will believe you if you tell them. So you don’t call police. Your response isn’t unusual. It’s a common scenario. Nine out of 10 women who are sexually assaulted in Canada each year will not report it to police. There reasons are plentiful. The majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, so there may be complicated relationship or fam-

And they can do it anonymously. Even if a victim is too afraid to report an assault to police, they can talk to a community-based victim services worker without identifying themselves. The program is called Connect the Dots and involves a partnership with six other community-based victim services programs in Langley, Maple Ridge, Tri-Cities, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. According to Drewery, so-called Third Party Reporting – an existing provincial policy allowing victims to make a report without giving their names – is simply not well known to women or police. Community workers can collect an array of information from someone who has been assaulted and pass that information on to police investigators, who can establish if there are any similarities or patterns between attacks or attackers. Seemingly small details – like whether a perpetrator had coarse hair or a unique tattoo or did or said something unusual – can end up being valuable information that can help identify an offender. “This isn’t about investigation,” said Drewery. “It’s about intelligence collecting. It’s really about being able to catch serial predators by having MOs (modus operandi) that eventually, over time, potentially match.” Anonymous reports are only available for crimes involving sexual offences and women must be 19 or older. Drewery said often, once a woman begins to open up anonymously and myths about reporting sex assault are shattered, they’ll feel more comfortable and take the next step and file a police report. To learn more about anonymous sexual assault reporting, call their local community-based victim services program. To contact Surrey Women’s 99 Centre, call 604-583-1295.

King George Boulevard near 64 Avenue at about 7:45 p.m. Sept. 28. Police said as of Wednesday morning, the 18-year-old male driver was in serious condition with broken limbs, while his 17-year-old passenger was fighting for his life with severe brain injuries and a broken back. A 12-year-old boy who was a passenger in the back seat suffered minor injuries and was released from hospital. Based on witness accounts, a pedestrian was crossing King George Boulevard from east to west just before the crash. Police want to speak with that person. Investigators also say a black SUV was driving along side the car at the time of the collision. Mounties are also looking to speak with the occupants of that vehicle. If you have information about the accident call the Surrey RCMP non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS) to remain anonymous.

Two-year-old Surrey hitand-run remains unresolved ▶ POLICE STILL SEEKING PUBLIC HELP IN FINDING THE DRIVER WHO HIT 51-YEAR-OLD JAGDEV TOOR KEVIN DIAKIW
Surrey Mounties are asking for public help in solving a two-year-old hitand-run case. On Sept. 29, 2012 at about 8 p.m., a pedestrian was operating a leaf blower at the back entrance of the Dasmesh Darbar Sikh Gurdwara near 130 Street and 86 Avenue, when he was struck by a vehicle which fled the scene. The victim suffered significant head injuries.
Jagdev Toor, 51, has since been released from the hospital, however he suffers from long-term, life-altering injuries from the incident. Investigators have determined the suspect vehicle was reddish burgundy, with damage to the right front bumper, fender and likely windshield. Based on the evidence and skid marks on the roadway, the suspect vehicle also appeared to have been traveling in an eastbound direction. At the time of the collision, prayer service had just been completed at the gurdwara and a crowd of people were exiting the temple
from the other side of the property. “Based on the large volume of traffic in the area at the time, there is a high likelihood that somebody saw something that night,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said in a release. “We are hoping that someone with a key piece of information will help us solve this case and bring some closure to the victim.” Anyone with information is asked contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file #2012130729. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS or go to www. solvecrime.ca

▼ SURREY SIX from page 1
The trial opened last year with graphic photos of the crime scene showing the victims lying dead with hoods over their heads. During emotional testimony, the former manager of the apartment building recounted looking for Schellenberg, and entering suite 1505 to find six bodies on the bloodied floor. There was also testimony from a woman who attended a bible study session with friends in the building that afternoon and saw suspicious men wearing black leather gloves and hooded jackets in the parkade. Haevischer’s former girlfriend, who can only be identified as KM, also took the stand, saying she helped clean guns and bullets at the apartment the two shared shortly before the slaughter. KM, an admitted gangster herself, said Haevischer and Johnston returned later with garbage bags filled with cash and cellphones. She testified she helped count the money while Haevischer boiled the phones in a pot of water on the stove. She saw Haevischer write a note to his brother that said “people died,” she said. Other former drug dealers and gangsters testified in the case earlier this year. One, identified only as Person Y, is an admitted twotime murderer currently serving a life sentence who said Johnston told him about the murders right after they occurred, holding up six fingers (indicating the number killed) as they spoke in a car. Person Y said he
couldn’t live with the fact two innocent people were killed and eventually decided to work as a police informant, wearing wire taps during meetings with his former fellow gangsters. The defence did not call any witnesses to testify, but in closing arguments, Haevischer’s lawyer Simon Buck called the evidence against his client “woefully inadequate,” pointing to testimony from key witnesses he said was conflicting and unreliable. One man, who can only be identified as Person X, pleaded guilty in 2009 to three counts of second-degree murder in connection to the slaughter. Bacon is slated be tried separately in May on one count each of conspiracy to commit murder and the first-degree murder of Lal. Three new charges were also laid against Bacon in July in relation to an alleged plot to kill Person X. Another man, Sophon Sek, is also awaiting trial in the Surrey Six case, on a charge of manslaughter.

Appia’s SOLO District rises among the clouds in Burnaby
By Kerry Vital
Appia Developments’ SOLO District is heading into fall and continuing construction on the first tower, Stratus, and Burnaby’s first Whole Foods. The second tower, Altus, has recently begun sales and will soon rise as the tallest tower in Burnaby. When it’s complete, SOLO District will comprise four beautiful residential towers with over 1,400 homes and tons of
retail and other commercial space. “People are embracing the community concept,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia. “Everything about SOLO District is about quality, from the retailers to the suites themselves.” In addition to Whole Foods, SOLO District will welcome Shoppers Drug Mart, a Signature BC Liquor Store, Uncle Fatih’s pizza, Stripped wax bar, and Ricky’s All-Day-Grill. Dr. Danial Deheshi and his staff will be moving to SOLO
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
District Dental next year, and an outlet of the B.C. Automobile Association will also call SOLO District home. SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed, is a complete community with a balanced mix of office, retail and green space, as well as gorgeous homes. The towers will soon become an iconic part of the Burnaby skyline. Altus will be the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with homes starting from 200 feet up and office space below. Altus will also house Club 55, an enormous amenity space with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area, billiards and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck space. All of this will be located on the top floor of the tower. A quieter retreat will be located on the roof deck of the 15th floor. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a unique outdoor multi-sport court on the third floor. SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. Homes at SOLO District start in the low-$300,000s. For more information, visit www.solodistrict.com, call 604-2988800 or visit the presentation centre at 2131 Willingdon Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood is becoming one of the top places to live in the Lower Mainland. Developers such as Bosa Developments, Appia Developments, Shape Properties and Concord Pacific are all building in the area.
Playing and living in Brentwood
By Kerry Vital
Burnaby’s Brentwood neighbourhood is a rapidly growing region, with plenty of opportunities for shopping, dining, education and recreation, from golf courses to rowing to swimming. With new homes popping up every year, the area is an exciting place to live and is becoming a major urban centre. Brentwood is about 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver via SkyTrain, and about 30 minutes from the Vancouver International Airport. This contributes to the popularity of the neighbourhood with
young professionals who commute to work. Among the developers who are building in the neighbourhood are Appia Developments, Ledingham McAllister, Concord Pacific, Bosa Development, Shape Properties and Embassy Developments. Brentwood is full of opportunities for education, from preschool to post-secondary. The largest institution is Simon Fraser University, just a few minutes from the centre of Brentwood on Burnaby Mountain. Rated as one of Canada’s top three comprehensive universities for almost 20 years running, SFU is home to approximately 32,000 students and about 2,500 faculty and staff. The British Columbia Institute of Technology also has its main campus in Burnaby. Established in 1964, it was the first permanent trade school of its kind in B.C., and includes courses in business, information technology and engineering, among other disciplines.
It is hard to be bored in Brentwood, with its selection of parks, art galleries, museums and theatres, among other activities. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you can start up on Burnaby Mountain at the Simon Fraser University Art Gallery. It’s open to the public free of charge and the displays change every few months. SFU also houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, which showcases artifacts from around the world, with a focus on British Columbia. There are several parks in Burnaby, so outdoor activity is never far away. Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park includes a dog off-leash area, the Burnaby Sports Complex, the Burnaby Equestrian Centre and several walking and cycling trails. The lake itself has a rowing course for canoeing, kayaking and rowing training. Confederation Park is also an activity hub, with walking trails, a skate park, a lacrosse
box, a running track, a community centre, several picnic sites and playgrounds, baseball diamonds and other playing fields. It’s also home to the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library and the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre. Brentwood is a well-connected neighbourhood, with several options for public transportation, walking or cycling if you feel like leaving your car behind. Because it’s nearly the centre of Metro Vancouver, it is easy to get on your way, whatever way you choose. Among the transit possibilities are SkyTrain and several bus routes. Your first stop for some retail therapy is Brentwood Town Centre, located in the centre of Brentwood and well-served by transit, including its own SkyTrain station. With a variety of shops, you’ll be able to do much of your browsing in one spot. Brentwood is a cook’s dream, with stores such as Bosa Foods, famous for amazing Italian imports, and Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli. Grocery stores such as Safeway and Save-On Foods are also in the area.

2812 Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps Warrant Officer Emma Lukas presents a flower to Dorothy DeLorme on her 95th birthday. PHOTO SUBMITTED
Surrey’s 2812 Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps (RCACC) paid tribute to their patron Dorothy DeLorme on her 95th birthday on Sept. 16 at the Fraser Heights Community Centre. Ninety-five cadets presented the honoured guest with 95 followers. The cadet regiment, affiliated with The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Regiment, has a long-standing relationship with the DeLorme family, which has created a ten-year legacy of support for the Seaforth affiliated cadet corps, 2812 RCACC in particular. DeLorme regularly attends the cadets’ formal functions. DeLorme is the widow of Private Jack DeLorme, an infantryman from Edmonton who fought in the battle of Ortona, Italy, during the Second World War. During the birthday ceremony, DeLorme was given a short musical presentation by piper Sgt. Shawn Liu and vocalist Sgt. Amy Rudman.

The One Potential Hazard of a Run-Flat Tire
THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca
Cedric Hughes
I
Barrister & Solicitor
n the very early days of motoring – the first decade of the 20th century - flat tires were generally an unknown problem. Motor vehicle wheels where equipped with wheels based on technology inherited from horse drawn wagons – spoked wheels with a covering of solid rubber as a tread. The advent of the smoother riding pneumatic tire in the second decade of the 20th century brought comfort, but inconvenience and danger as well. A small puncture could result in a flat tire with all the inconvenience that may be entailed with changing a wheel, sometimes in the rain. At night. In freezing weather. Worse still was the danger of a punctured tire disintegrating at speed, causing a loss of control and sometimes a tragic crash. Tire technology advanced considerably through the 1960s and 1970s with the development of belted radial tires which are resistant to catastrophic failure. But the experience of a puncture leading to a flat tire continued to be familiar to many drivers. The run-flat concept – a pneumatic tire that could still perform over a short distance even when punctured – came under discussion as early as the 1930s. The Michelin Tire Company marketed a foam filled tire in 1934, calling it “semi-bullet proof”. The cost was such that, reportedly, the only customers were specialized use organizations such as the military. The
motoring public would have to wait for technology that allowed for production of an affordable product for everyday use. The solution for this obvious need did eventually arrive, if somewhat belatedly. In 1958 Chrysler offered on some models a Goodyear tire that relied on an interlining to temporarily slow down air loss due to a puncture. Pressure cans of liquid rubber, for application to a flat tire to provide support for a brief ride to the tire shop, also started to appear on the market towards the end of the 20th century. Progressively through the 1970s to present, an alternative to the self-sealing or interlining technology emerged, involving auxiliary support of a support ring within the tire cavity, or extra-rigid sidewalls. Increased tire weight and vehicle handling problems have been associated with this engineering effort to build what in effect is a sturdier tire. On the other hand, although the tire may be heavier, the argument is that a spare tire with its associated weight is no longer necessary. One critical concern in using the run-flat tire is the issue of how do we know that the tire is running in a damage condition, when it performs normally for an hour or two of driving, following a puncture? The answer is that a run-flat equipped vehicle must be equipped so as to reliably and unavoidably make the driver aware when a tire is damaged. Otherwise the run-flat may defeat the concern for safety and lull a driver into an unfortunate sense that all is well. This article is derived in part from: http:// www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/05/ run-flat-tires-why-you-should-or-shouldntbuy-them.html/2 and http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Run-flat_tire …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Inspired by her mother, a breast cancer survivor, Surrey resident Carley Adams joined this year’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure organizing committee as the Registration Coordinator. This volunteer opportunity allows her to raise awareness and funds to support the disease that impacted her mom and to help create a future without breast cancer. “My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. She was going through treatment during the CIBC Run for the Cure in 2012 and couldn’t participate,
but it was inspiring for us to see all the men and women who had survived,” said Adams. “After receiving both chemo and radiation, my mom is now cancer-free, and it’s an amazing feeling to see her walking in the Survivor Parade with the other survivors,” she said. “It’s why for the past two years my family and friends participate in the event and hold an annual fundraiser.” Although this is her first year volunteering on the committee, Adams did her practicum project with the CBCF in 2012 to complete her BBA in Human Resource Management at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. As the Registration Coordinator, Adams is using her education and experience to work with the committee to identify volunteer roles and requirements. On Run day, she
is responsible for organizing, training, and overseeing volunteers at the Registration tent, recording fundraising totals and identifying fundraising award winners. Since its inception in 1992, the run has helped the Foundation fund groundbreaking research from coast to coast. Thanks to the efforts of the Foundation and their supporters, mortality rates have declined by 42 per cent since their peak in 1986. Early detection methods, such as regular mammography screening, have helped many women – and men – improve their chances of survival. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure takes place Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. at Bear Creek Park (13570 88 Ave.) Registration begins at 8 a.m. Visit www.cibcrunforthecure.com

All wannabe Kathryn Bigelows and Wes Andersons out there take note: Surrey Little Theatre is inviting all filmmakers and creative types to register a team in the seventh-annual 50 Hour Film Challenge. The all-ages event pits teams of five or more in a frenetic, fruitful weekend quest: to write, shoot, and edit a five-minute-long movie for a chance to win $500. “We welcome all community members to put together a five or more member team, dig out their camera equipment and editing software and come on out to take part in this exciting event,” says organizer Brigitte Seib. It’s open to all ages and abilities. Past entrants have ranged from students as young as 12 to retired Baby Boomers. Earl Marriott Secondary student Sam Zelter has been entering the contest since he was 13. His team, We The Youth (formerly Film Hogs) has taken second place a few years in a row. Now in Grade 12, Zelter is hoping to get his name on the number one spot on the trophy. He challenges all other student and community filmmakers to enter a team. The challenge weekend is Friday, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. to Sunday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Registration deadline is Oct. 14. (Register by Oct. 3 to receive two free tickets to screenings). Cost to enter is $100 per team. Prizes are awarded the following weekend, on Oct. 26, at a Gala Filmmakers Reception, where all the films are screened. The event is open to the public (tickets are limited; look for advance sales). Rules and registration forms are available at www.surreylittletheatre.com.

KPU men blanked at home
▼ KPU EAGLES SOCCER TEAM IN A FIGHT FOR A PACWEST PLAYOFF POSITION
RICK KUPCHUK
Two losses at home have dropped the Kwantlen Polytechnic (KPU) Eagles men’s soccer team back to .500 and into a four-team race for three playoff positions. The Eagles were blanked 1-0 by the Quest Kermodes Saturday afternoon and lost 2-0 to the Vancouver Island Mariners Sunday in a pair of Pacific Northwest (PACWEST) Conference games at Newton Athletic Park. Now at 3-3-3 (won-tied-lost), the Eagles are in second place, one points ahead of Quest, the Langara Falcons and Douglas College Royals. The top four teams will qualify for the provincial playoff Oct. 2526 in Squamish. Saturday was KPU’s best chance to earn some points. The Eagles attacked from the start, and thought they had taken an early lead. But an offside call wiped out the goal, and although they created several chances over the 90 minutes, were unable to get on the scoreboard. Rylan Sangha, Holy Cross high school graduate Dalton San and Seaquam Secondary graduate Jacob Starheim combined to press for a tying goal, without success. “I thought we played really well, created ▶ “...the ball chances and a had beautiful goal that didn’t just didn’t want make it on the sheet,” to cross that said head coach Srdjan Djekanovic. We kept line for us...” pushing forward but SRDJAN DJEKANOVIC goals changed games, they got one and unfortunately for us the ball just didn’t want to cross that line for us again today.” The first-place Mariners scored once in each half to get the win Sunday, and increase their lead over the Eagles to 11 points in the standings. KPU’s women’s team picked up four points from two games on the weekend, and with their 3-3-3 mark are in fourth place, six points clear of the fifthplace Quest Kermodes. The Eagles topped Quest 1-0 on Saturday at Newton Athletic Park. First-year midfielder Chloe Bottrell netted the lone goal of the game for the Eagles, while rookie netminder Chantalle Bracken earned her second consecutive shutout. “We had lots of energy and lots of intensity in the second half and it made all the difference,” said KPU head coach Julie King, “We were also able to minimize the impact of our mistakes. We’re not perfect but our mistakes haven’t hurt us like they have in the past.” Against first-place Vancouver Island University Sunday in Newton, the Eagles were satisfied with a scoreless tie. KPU rookie Simran Meelu was a standout in goal for the Eagles, earning the shutout with several key saves, including one on a penalty. The two Eagles teams will play twice against the Capilano Blues next weekend, kicking off in North Vancouver Saturday before games Sunday at noon (women) and 2:00 p.m. (men) at Newton Athletic Park. The Blues are in the basement of both the men’s and women’s standings. The Blues’ women are 0-35, while Capilano’s men’s team is 1-1-6.

Eagles remain winless, but earn another point ▼ BC HOCKEY LEAGUE TEAM LOSES TWICE TO CHILLIWACK, ONCE TO PRINCE GEORGE RICK KUPCHUK
Five games into the regular season, the Surrey Eagles are still looking for their first win. But with a pair of overtime losses, the BC Hockey League team is still tied for a playoff position in the Mainland Division. The Eagles were swept by the Chilliwack Chiefs in a home-and-home series this past weekend, with the Chiefs winning 2-1 in overtime Friday night at the South Surrey Arena and 6-2 Saturday in Chilliwack. On Sunday evening back in South Surrey, the Prince George Spruce Kings skated
away with a 3-1 triumph, dropped the Eagles to 0-30-2 (won-lost-tied-overtime loss). With two points, they are tied for third place in the division with the Langley Rivermen and Coquitlam Express, each with one victory. The Eagles earned their second point of the season Friday night, but as they were in the first two games of the season, were again outshot by a wide margin. The Chiefs had a 45-27 edge in shots on goal, but both goaltenders were perfect until the final 10 minutes of the game. Craig Puffer scored a goahead goal for Chilliwack
with eight minutes to play, but with just 67 seconds left on the clock, Trevor MacLean scored for Surrey to force overtime. A four-on-four extra period solved nothing, so the two sided went to three-onthree for a second overtime period. Puffer ended the game with his second goal of the night, capping off extra time that saw Chilliwack fire 14 pucks at Eagles netminder Christian Short compared to just two Eagles shots at the Chilliwack net. The game was much more even Saturday night in Chilliwack, except in the goal-scoring department. Chilliwack led 2-1 after 20 minutes, with their goals sandwiched around Ty Westgard’s third tally of the season. The Chiefs scored three times on just eight shots in
the second period to take a 5-1 lead into the second intermission. Their fifth goal, coming just past the midway point of the game, chased Short from the Eagles net. Backup netminder Daniel Davidson, a 16-year-old Surrey native, played the final 29 minutes and made 14 saves on 15 shots. Each team scored while on the powerplay in the third period, the Surrey goal coming from Brian Drapluk, a 20-year-old import from Florida. Chilliwack went two-forsix on the powerplay, while Surrey was one-for-seven. The Chiefs outshot their guests 34-31, and improved to 4-0-0-0 to lead the Mainland Division. continued on page 32

The Eagles seemed poised for their third overtime game of the young season Sunday, but the Spruce Kings broke a 1-1 tie with two goals in the last 16 seconds of the game. Surrey native Justin Rai opened the scoring eight seconds into the second period, but Ben Butcher of the Eagles tied the score two minutes later.

time. Brent Lashuk of the Spruce Kings closed out the scoring with two seconds remaining. The Eagles killed off their two shorthanded situations, but went zero-for-six while on the powerplay. Short was again a standout in goal, making 41 saves on 44 shots. The Eagles will play at home twice next weekend, hosting the 2-2-0-0 Nanaimo Clippers Friday night at 7:11 p.m. and the Rivermen Sunday at 4:00 p.m.

▶ CIS TEAM VISITS SURREY, DEFEATS EAGLES WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM RICK KUPCHUK
Considering the opponent, a 33-point loss in a university basketball game wasn’t that bad. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Eagles fell 85-52 to the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades last Friday night at their Surrey campus. Members of PACWEST (Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference), the Eagles impressed coach Dan Nayebzadeh while playing against a team which won a bronze medal at the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sports) nationals last season. “It was a good start to the preseason to be up against a tough CIS team,” said Nayebzadeh. “The ladies came out focused and exe-
cuted early on, it was a great first half.” Kwantlen trailed 2314, 46-32 and 64-39 at the quarter breaks. Samantha Kelleigh, a second-year point guard from Washington, led the Eagles with 16 points. Christina Brown of Langley added 10 points while Fleetwood Park graduate Shilpa Khanna netted nine. “We had some nice execution of offense at times, nice execution of defense at times. We have some areas that we will need to address,” said Nayebzadeh. “We fatigued as the game wore on and gave up a number of points from free throws, but overall it was a good game I’m really happy with how the team did.” The Eagles will host PACWEST rivals Camosun Chargers for an exhibition game Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Hawks handle Blazers twice ▶ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM SWEEPS SERIES IN RICHMOND RICK KUPCHUK
The Valley West Hawks dominated one of the league’s weaker teams last weekend, posting their first two victories of the season to get back to .500. The Hawks stopped the Thompson Blazers 5-1 and 6-0 in Richmond, two games which were part of the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League Showcase Weekend. Valley West is now at 2-2-0 (won-lost-tied) and in sixth-place in the 11-team league. “It was a week later than I had hoped, but it was good to notch our first wins of the season,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I credit our team for sticking to our game plan and committing to the team game in both victories. We got contributions from our entire lineup both offensively and defensively. Lots of pressure and pace.” Luke Gingras of Langley paced the Hawks Saturday, scoring twice and assisting on another. Jeffrey Stewart of Surrey also netted a pair of goals, while Logan Webber tallied once. White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis, who has returned to the team from the training camp of the Vancouver Giants, assisted on three goals. Sunday morning, Surrey forward Trevor Ayre scored once and assisted on three other goals. Barberis, Gingras, Stewart, Ben Evanish of White Rock and Christian Bosa of Langley also notched a goal teach. Barberis added another two helpers for a sixpoint weekend. Of the 11 goals scored over the weekend, four came with the man advantage, a positive sign. While not allowing the Blazers to score on the powerplay, Leung feels the Hawks need to improve while playing a man short. “Our powerplay was lethal this weekend, which is a good sign after opening weekend,” he said. “We’ll continue to put some work into our penalty kill. We have the basic framework set up, but need a lot of repetition to really round it into form.” Although the Hawks were designated as the home team for the
weekend series with the Blazers, Valley West has still to play on home ice. That won’t happen until Saturday, Oct. 11 when they host the Vancouver Canadians at 3:30 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre. It’s the first of two games that weekend against the Canadians, with the second back at the Richmond Oval on Oct. 12 at 10 a.m. The Hawks are idle next weekend, having drawn the bye. “Having our bye week only three weeks into the season isn’t ideal,” said Leung. “We’ll have two games in hand on most teams throughout the front half of the season so it will feel like we’re playing catchup until the hit the midway point. “(But) it gives us an opportunity to finetune some systems and tactics.”

▶ SURREY SQUAD REMAINS PERFECT AFTER FOUR GAMES
Surrey’s two other Premier Division sides clashed head on last Friday night at Newton Athletic Park with CCBRT United upsetting the Surrey United Firefighters 3-0. CCBRT, winless in their first three games of the season, went up 2-0 after just 15 minutes of play. Taj Sangara and Milad Rahmati set each other up for goals in the first quarter-hour. Sangara added his second of the game with five minutes left in the second half. CCBRT, now at 1-1-2 (won-tied-lost), will face West Van FC Friday night in West Vancouver. The Firefighters, in sixth place at 1-2-1 after its first loss of the season, will host Columbus FC at 3 p.m. Sunday at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Surrey side edged Croatia SC 3-2 Friday night in Vancouver for their fourth win in as many games. Pegasus is now two points clear of West Van FC, which drew 2-2 against the Langley Hurricanes. Sahil Sandhu tallied twice for Pegasus, with Azad Palani adding a single while assisting on Sandhu’s winning goal.

Coastal FC dropped to 0-0-4. Nick Baronian scored twice for North Delta, with Cam Kamensik and Matt Ormerod adding singles. Toscanny Pandu-Oesman was credited with the shutout.

mid-range torque making the Mustang accelerate easily and it passes well on the highway. There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car. Verdict 50 years is a long time to continually produce a single car model. What comes out of this is a cumulative result that is
hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car. The Lowdown Power: 2.3L turbo 4-cylinder with 310hp, 300hp V6 or 435hp V8 Fill-up: N/A (city/highway) Sticker price: $24,999-$52,899 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
