Residents survey awards city seven Cs and four D+s on quality of life

Surrey scrapes by with average grades Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Surrey offers its residents an average quality of life, according to the first Vital Signs report on the city.

The report, released Tuesday morning at the Surrey Arts Centre, is a joint effort between SurreyCares and the Surrey Board of Trade (SBoT) and is a combination of research and a public-opinion poll.

It studies 11 performance indicators established by Community Foundations of Canada, including safety, standard of living, transportation, the environment, the economy and housing.

Surrey earned a C grade in seven categories and a D+ in the other four. According to the report, C is an average performance which suggests additional effort must be made, while D is a below-average performance that

needs additional work.

The questionnaire was posted online from July 9 to Aug. 7. Overall, 571 respondents gave their city a C, rating Surrey’s quality of life as satisfactory but needing improvement.

“We didn’t know what to expect. This is the first time doing this with SurreyCares,” said Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman. “It’s not a bad thing; it’s an average performance.”

The city’s growing population, which is forecast to overtake Vancouver’s in the next two decades, indicates Surrey is a desired destination. But the growth also presents huge challenges in keeping pace with a population that already exceeds half-a-million people.

“There are (thousands of) people moving here each a month,” said Huberman. “So we’re playing catch-up in several areas. i see page 4

Surrey voters, straining to decide who to vote for this fall, will have a Pastafarian in the pot.

Surrey’s own ordained minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is running for city council this fall. Wearing a white dress shirt, tie and formal colander (he wears the metal strainer for fancy occasions), Obi Canuel, 36, talks about what he hopes to undertake as he runs for council.

Obi Canuel The former SFU philosophy civic candidate student has no election platform and no agenda, he says, other than to draw attention to the notion of council members being able to address social issues while making what he considers a handsome salary. Councillors make just over $60,000 per year.

“What concerns me, is that when you earn that much money – the average Surrey salary is $32,000 – that puts you in a place where you are unable to represent the people that you are governing,” Canuel said. i see page 8

Next appearance set for Oct. 23

Caillé appears in court via video feed Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

The accused in connection with last month’s homicide in White Rock appeared in court via video from a forensic psychiatric hospital last week.

Jeffrey Caillé, 22, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of 61-year-old Bruce Ridout in the 900-block of Ash Street on Aug. 10. Caillé is also charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of assault.

Appearing in Surrey Provincial Court Friday via video feed from Port Coquitlam’s Colony Farm, the accused spoke only to confirm he could hear the judge before his lawyer set another court date for later this month.

Friends of Ridout sat in court watching Caillé’s appearance, eager to see the accused.

Ridout was discovered in his White Rock home following numerous 911 calls from neighbours about a heated altercation.

Police have not released details regarding cause of death, but witnesses say Ridout was stabbed while coming to the defence of a woman.

The longtime Peninsula resident, who was in Semiahmoo Secondary’s class of ’70, was remembered by family and friends in the days following his death, some of whom have posted tributes to him on social media calling his actions that day heroic.

Two women were injured during the incident. Witnesses reported seeing a man attack-

$67,000 more urged for 2015-2019 budget

Next White Rock council urged to fund the arts Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock now has more than just a vision of a being a place where arts and culture flourish – it has a plan.

Council this week gave unanimous support to approving the White Rock Cultural Strategy and Implementation Plan 2014-2018, a document that is intended to guide the city in enhancing arts and culture in the community.

Such planning “allows us to identify the community’s cultural resources and to provide a roadmap to where we want to be in the future,” leisure services director Eric Stepura explains in a report to council.

“With a futuristic vision for culture, we can work collaboratively with community arts and cultural partners and stakeholders to establish White Rock as a thriving cultural destination.”

Impressed with the plan – which outlines six strategic goals and 39

recommended actions – Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Monday that the test will be in ensuring it doesn’t go the way of some previous grand endeavours.

“The challenge for us is not to take it as we do with many reports… and never see it again,” he said.

Noting the upcoming election could shift the look of council, Baldwin encouraged task-force members to push whomever wins the seats Nov. 15 to follow the plan through.

It includes a call – which council also endorsed to be considered in the city’s 2015-2019 financial plan – for an additional $67,000 in funding over the next four years. The majority of that funding is eyed for first-year projects and initiatives – including $25,000 for a cultural event-hosting incentive-grant program, and $12,500 to develop a summer concert-in-the-park series.

In response to a question from Coun. Helen Fathers, Stepura confirmed the $67,000 is over and

above the $50,000 allocated annually to the city’s public-art budget.

“It seems like pocket change, really,” Fathers said of the additional funds.

It’s hoped the four-year plan can be accomplished in three years, Stepura added.

Prior to Stepura’s report, council heard more detail on each of the plan’s six strategic goals from task force members Kelly Breaks, Roxanne Charles, Sherron Fairbairn, Pat McLean and Mary Brunet.

Among actions recommended under the goal of promoting the value of arts and culture is to rebrand the leisure-services department, including a name change to Recreation and Cultural Services.

There are nine recommended actions under the goal of developing diverse arts programs and festivals, including develop a buskers festival, support development of a winter film festival and partner with Semiahmoo First Nation to co-host more cultural events at Semiahmoo

Park. In July 2013, the RCMP Musical Ride performed at the park.

Weaknesses identified in the plan include a small volunteer pool, a lack of uptown vibrancy at night and parking fees that deter people from attending events at the waterfront.

Planning for the cultural strategic plan got underway in 2011; the seven-member task force was formed in 2013 to oversee the delivery of goals and actions outlined in the Arts Economic Strategy and Implementation Plan

2013-2017.

The group’s role was expanded this year to include working with city staff to develop the cultural strategy and implementation plan.

Stepura described the plan as “the result of considerable community and stakeholder engagement.” He said benefits would include: local, regional, national and international visitors to White Rock; quality of life for residents; and, economic growth through arts- and culture-related businesses and event hosting.

He described development of a cohesive arts community with strong community partnerships as “one of the single greatest benefits” that has been seen to date.

“There’s a cohesion among the arts community that never existed before,” he said.

The plan also proposes creation of a cultural advisory committee, to retain and expand partnerships within the arts community and to oversee implementation of the cultural strategy.

Voting should be matter of fact

F

acebook, Twitter and other social media have played supporting roles in the last few elections – and the impact of online posting was definitely felt on the Peninsula during the last municipal race.

But the 2014 municipal election may be the first where we will see posts and tweets having a direct bearing on the outcome.

That’s already happened for one mayoral candidate in Penticton. Declaring his intention to run one morning, he was out of the running by that same evening, after inappropriate Facebook posts he made last year came to light.

It’s a lesson learned for the young man in question – and a harbinger of things to come for the rest of us.

There will almost certainly be other ways social media will affect the outcome of the Nov. 15 vote, and it’s not all negative. People are talking about the change they want to see in politics using these platforms. Engagement has been the missing element in local political campaigns for many years. Like it or not, these days people are more likely to respond to a post on social media than get involved in a political rally or an all-candidates meeting.

Will this make social media-savvy voters a force come election day?

It’s hard to say. There’s nothing, after all, to encourage social-media users to engage in intelligent debate. Discussion threads can quickly devolve into the electronic equivalent of demagogues – and their hecklers – shouting in park corners.

Opinion often substitutes for fact, as discussions get hijacked or turn into personal attacks.

The lesson here for voters, as social media becomes increasingly a source of political information – while distressingly free from checks and balances – is to do your own research.

As with all information that comes your way in life, fact-check and examine the source supplying it before deciding if it’s reliable, especially when using it to decide where to make your mark on a ballot.

Most importantly, never vote based on someone else’s beliefs and judgments. Learn to separate opinion from fact, and remember that even the most well-meaning people may be sharing inaccurate information.

question week

Should the City of Surrey adopt a ‘no-call-too-small’ policing policy?

Vote online at www.peacearchnews.com

in a province that is blessed with almost limitless opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. This past weekend, my youngest son and his three children joined me on a pristine mountain lake, a reprise of an earlier trip this spring.

Unfortunately, the fish were uncooperative, not only for us but all others on the lake that weekend who were anticipating piscatorial success.

Even though that experience didn’t diminish the grandkids enthusiasm, the fish again rejected all our offers, despite often being visible in the shallows beneath the boat.

Despite the lack of success, the two older kids decided to stay with me, fishing for a few extra hours after my son returned to the Fraser Valley so the youngest could attend a birthday party.

One of the most interesting activities in a fishing boat is not the short-lived excitement of landing a trout, but the conversations that occur while and waiting, and hoping, for the fish to bite.

For an old guy who grew up when televisions were in their infancy, when you had to make a telephone call through an operator, and books were more popular than the Internet, the information young kids know, and talk about, is incredible.

The knowledge our grandchildren possess and share away from the distraction of television, iPads and other accoutrements of our technological age makes time with them not only precious, but an adventure to be repeated as often as possible.

City can’t go it alone on rail Editor: Re: $20,000 allocated for rail-move advice, Oct. 2.

Waste of $20,000.

If I understand the issue of relocation correctly, it would require involvement and co-operation from a number of stakeholders, including BNSF, Amtrak, affected municipalities and federal and provincial governments.

Why would the city hire a consultant and not wait for other municipalities to chip in and contribute to the cost of any required process? I am confounded by the lack of strategic planning by the city on this particular issue.

What is telling is that the Rail Safety Task Force, chaired by Coun.

Grant Meyer, has only one other member. (Editor’s note: In addition to Meyer and Coun. Al Campbell, city director of engineering Greg St. Louis also attends meetings.)

One would think that such an important task force may have asked for volunteers from the community.

The consultant’s services may be better utilized if there is a co-ordinated effort instead of White Rock going at it alone.

Aroon Shah, White Rock

English-language training (ELT) offered in our region.

Over 300,000 immigrants live here, including 30 per cent of B.C.’s recent immigrants – and for almost all recent immigrants, English is not their mother tongue.

Up until 2013, KPU was only getting one-quarter of the funding for ELT that the rest of B.C. got, relative to the number of people who needed it. Then the provincial government, in violation of its own University Act regulations, eliminated all funding for ELT programs at Kwantlen and B.C.’s other colleges and universities.

Now, KPU can only offer Englishlanguage training for residents if it’s paid for by profits from international students’ tuition – and that’s not nearly enough to offer even the limited amount of ELT that KPU offered before these absurd cuts.

I hope the candidates in the upcoming civic election will tell us what they plan to do to make sure the provincial government lives up to its rhetoric, and stops shortchanging our region so badly.

Perchance to dream Editor: I have a dream, a dream that one day White Rockians will embrace the railway that stitches together their splendid waterfront.

I dream of the day when city politicians will proclaim the third week of August Railway Week.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin will bow graciously at the feet of Miss Railway Daze, raise the golden, spiked crown, and set it gently upon her head.

Proffering his white-gloved hand, he will assist her onto her throne, placed high upon a decorated flatcar. Then the gandy dancers, young men from the city’s playing fields, will heave to, and draw her along the shiny rails to the pier, to be greeted by thousands of cheering railway enthusiasts.

I dream of the day when rail fans from North America, Europe and the Far East will descend upon White Rock to enjoy the sport of train spotting. They will position their cameras on the specially

constructed viewing platforms.

There, they will vie with each other for the coveted Grant Meyer trophy, a silver spike awarded for the most dramatic shot of a passing train.

I dream of the day when teachers will bring their little ones to the waterfront. Specially trained docents will escort them from mural to mural, pointing out the locomotives and the wide variety of rail cars. They will pause at the station, point to the illustrations in the windows and speak of White Rock’s grand railway history. Then, beneath the shade of the royal empress trees, old timers will regale the wee ones with stories of their days working on the railroad.

I dream of the day when cliffside residents will slumber peacefully while eye-level strobe lights warn late-night joggers of passing trains.

Arcing over each gateway, a rainbow will ignite to give warning of the friendly behemoth’s approach.

I have a dream, a dream that one day trains and pedestrians will live in serene harmony, and travellers will come from far and near to celebrate life in our City by the Sea. Robert Ramsay, Surrey

Shortchanged on other fronts Editor: Re: No-call-too-small ‘crucial’ for Surrey, Oct. 2.

I’m glad to see the emphasis on increased policing in Surrey.

For years, we’ve had only half the police that Vancouver and the other Lower Mainland cities have, relative to population; no wonder our police have had to ignore many incidents.

And, as we know, Surrey – and the rest of our south Fraser region – has also been shortchanged in other significant areas: transit, healthcare facilities, school programs and college and university programs.

These areas also have a significant impact on our community.

In particular, the healthy growth of our region has been held back by the continual shortchanging of our regional university, Kwantlen Polytechnic. KPU has never been able to provide a level of access to further education like B.C.’s other regional colleges and universities have been able to. It has never received much more than half the funding, per resident in our region, that the other college regions get.

Although 21 per cent of B.C.’s population lives in Kwantlen’s region, KPU gets only 11 per cent of the funding. If KPU were funded at equitable levels, it would have room for 7,000 more students – more of our residents would have good jobs, and our region’s employers wouldn’t have to search elsewhere for qualified employees.

Another barrier to Surrey’s and the south Fraser region’s economic health and social vitality is the inadequate amount of upper-level

White Rock’s air-quality solution has been little more than a public-relations exercise, writes R.U. Kistritz.

Offer less politics, more science Editor: Like many other citizens in White Rock, I share the concerns about transporting coal through our community.

Over the past five years or so, many of us have noticed more and more black soot covering our decks and houses. Although we don’t really know the exact cause of this, circumstantial evidence points at the increased coal-train traffic through our community.

Local government officials recognize there is a lack of monitoring data on coal-dust and diesel emissions, and a lack of information about the associated human health risks. This is why Port Metro Vancouver has been requested to postpone any decision on their coaltransfer operations.

To address these existing information gaps, the Corporation of Delta has now completed two years’ worth of science-based monitoring at five permanent stations to better delineate the dispersion patterns and concentrations of coal dust around the railway tracks.

Dustfall near Delta’s rail tracks has thus far been shown to contain from 85-90 per cent coal particles.

What does this mean for White Rock?

Well, I’m not really sure, because White Rock’s answer has been to request Metro Vancouver’s Mobile Air Monitoring Unit (MAMU) to park at West Beach for one month and monitor air quality.

Unfortunately, this monitoring period coincided with the rerouting of empty coal cars.

I hate to say it, but the MAMU was little more than

a public-relations exercise. One month’s worth of data has very little scientific value. Contrary to Coun.

Grant Meyer’s expectations in PAN (Air quality to be monitored, Sept. 18), it certainly will not confirm what I’m thinking, nor is it likely to put my mind at ease.

The long-term intention of relocating the BNSF rail line, as expressed by several political candidates, doesn’t help much either – at least not in my lifetime.

What we need now is less politics and more science.

White Rock has to take a more rigorous, scientific approach to implementing a proper air-quality monitoring program in our community. Until that happens, citizens who are concerned or complain about coal dust and air quality will have little to no scientific information to substantiate their claims.

And in the meantime, city officials on the Rail Safety Task Force will continue to be unconvinced that coal dust is as big an issue as some of us residents believe.

If the city can find $20K to pay a former Canada Transportation Agency member to look into the application process to relocate the BNSF rail line ($20,000 allocated for rail-move advice, Oct. 2), then surely they can also fund some permanent air-quality monitoring stations in White Rock.

If the monitoring results then give White Rock a clean bill of health, people will be relieved. If results show that we do indeed have a problem, then this will give more impetus to stop the dreaded coal-transfer operations.

It would be a monitoring plan with a win-win outcome.

Platform blasts spending Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey mayoral candidate Doug McCallum says he plans to freeze property taxes for two years, while cutting the city’s operating budget by three per cent.

Those are just two of the highlights in an eight-point strategy heading into the fall election.

The Safe Surrey Coalition unveiled its platform Tuesday, which it called “fiscally responsible simple government.”

The coalition says it was responding to calls from Surrey residents that they want good service for their tax dollars.

“Years of out-of-control spending, waste and involvement in speculative business ventures have moved the city away from meeting the needs of Surrey residents,” McCallum said in a news release. “This plan puts the taxpayer first, both in terms of allowing the city to address pressing issues and priorities, and by having greater respect for taxpayer dollars.”

A change in philosophy and subsequent direction is an immediate step that must be taken to put Surrey back on track, said McCallum, who previously served as mayor from 1996-2005.

The Safe Surrey Coalition proposals include: • Freeze taxes for two years; • Reverse growing debt through an aggressive repayment plan; • Shut down the Surrey City Development Corporation; • Eliminate plans to build a district energy heating system; • Cut the City of Surrey operating budget by three per cent; • Establish fixed-cost public tenders • Discontinue the Surrey Regional Economic Summit; • Reprioritize and increase funding for the Parks, Recreation and Culture Strategic Plan.

Promise to donate council income i from page 1 If elected Nov. 15, he said he’d accept a $20,000 annual salary and donate the rest to charities.

Canuel plans to make issues important to the average wageearner his prime concern.

Last week, he made headlines when he lost his right to wear a colander on his head – which he says is part of his religion – for his B.C. driver’s licence photo.

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster – or Pastafarianism – was created nine years ago by a U.S. man to satirize certain aspects of creationism. It follows a belief that a flying pasta creature created the universe after “drinking heavily.” The Flying Spaghetti Monster has become a symbol against the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in the public education system.

In August, Canuel said he

believed he would be able to wear the noodle strainer when he renewed his licence last fall, because ICBC allows the right to religious expression.

But in a letter the insurer told him, “there is no religious requirement that prohibits you from removing the colander for the purpose of taking the photo to appear on your driver’s licence.”

ICBC said its policy strives to strike a balance between respect for the driver’s religious beliefs and a need to preserve the integrity of the licensing system.

The company offered an interim paper licence while the dispute continued to simmer, and last Friday Canuel was told that avenue had come to an end and he would need to submit to a colander-less photo.

“Mr. Canuel was not able to provide us with any evidence that

he cannot remove his head covering for his photo,” ICBC said.

Canuel said he gets “the spiritual inkling to wear the colander” and doesn’t believe ICBC should be able to make decisions about what kind of religious headgear is appropriate or not, adding he will meditate on what to do next.

“I know I’ve been accused of wasting taxpayers’ time and resources, and I know there are starchy people out there that don’t agree with His Noodliness. I don’t want to annoy anyone further.”

Now that Canuel has lost his licence, he said he will use public transit, which he believes puts him in a prime position to speak to transportation issues on Surrey council.

How, he asked, can councillors who rely on their car all the time speak intelligently about transit issues?

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

This truck was stolen from the parking lot along Kingsway outside Sears at Metrotown on Sept. 27.

Inside was medical equipment for the owner, Kyle Sandness, below, who is awaiting a heart transplant.

Items taken in Burnaby from Surrey heart-transplant patient

Thief steals truck, medical equipment Wanda Chow Black Press

At age 29, Kyle Sandness thought his shortness of breath must be the onset of asthma.

Imagine the shock when he learned his heart is failing and he’d need a transplant.

That was a few months ago.

Now, to make matters worse, the Surrey man’s suped-up pickup truck, his pride and joy, was stolen from the parking lot at Metropolis at Metrotown mall late last month, and inside was medical equipment necessary to keep his temporary artificial heart operating.

“There’s no chance (the thieves) can make any money off (the medical equipment) at all,” Sandness said in an interview.

“Who’s going to buy this equipment?”

Sandness said he was only in the mall for about a half hour on Saturday, Sept. 27. When he returned to the parking lot outside Sears along Kingsway, the truck was gone.

Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis confirmed police are investigating the theft, which

happened between 5 and 6 p.m. in “broad daylight.” The pickup is described as a dark grey, 2007 Ford F350 with licence plate HL 8891.

It’s “significant,” Buis noted, because it’s a Harley Davidson edition, with chrome rims, a black toolbox in the rear, an eight-inch lift kit on the wheels, red RDF sticker on the rear window, with a hitch and loud exhaust.

Also taken were tools in the rear toolbox.

The stolen medical equipment included batteries (four-inchesby-three-inches with a grey cord) and battery chargers for the artificial heart, and medications – valued at about $70,000.

“It’s a significant cost to the taxpayers of British Columbia,” Buis said.

Sandness said the truck was all he had left of his life prior to his diagnosis.

His nightmare started in May, when he noticed he was getting short of breath and it was getting worse. His doctor gave him inhalers for athsma, but when things didn’t improve, he began

seeing a cardiologist.

Before they could reach a diagnosis, he suddenly found himself at the emergency room at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

“They said I was knocking on the door. I passed out. They had to cut my neck and put a whole bunch of IVs in me. ‘Pretty much died,’ they said.”

Sandness spent the next 45 days in hospital, first in Surrey, then at St. Paul’s in Vancouver.

He was eventually told his heart was swollen and had become weak. The artificial heart was put in to help his own heart pump

until he can get a transplant – expected to take up to a year – or on the “slight chance” his damaged heart can recover.

Before his health challenges, it wasn’t unusual for Sandness to work six or seven days a week as an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) installer, then head to the gym to work out on his time off. That’s how he was able to afford the truck, which he still hasn’t paid off, and the $15,000 in engine, lift and other modifications he made to it, he said.

“I lost everything when I went in the hospital, but I managed to keep the truck.”

He can no longer do the physical work of HVAC installations, so he had to move back in with his parents. “I couldn’t even pack my own stuff up. My parents had to go and pack my house, deal with the landlord, I just couldn’t do anything.”

Sandness sprinkles his story with self-deprecating humour, noting he’s been forced to rent a vehicle, which ended up being a “soccer mom” station wagon.

Having a vehicle is crucial,

because he has three to four doctors appointments a week, and twice a week he’s at St. Paul’s participating in their specialized exercise programs for heart patients.

He had a glimmer of hope for his truck when someone found his wallet in the middle of the road in Aldergrove. The cash was missing but his identification was inside.

He drove around the area for two hours in hopes of spotting his truck, to no avail.

In the meantime, he’s doing his best to stay positive.

“It’s just so hard because I’ve been through a lot,” Sandness said.

“It’s a lot of stress, and stress on my heart is not a good thing…

I try to keep happy, keep myself occupied to not think about things.”

Eleven local residents received grants from the BC Arts Council totalling $72,500 this week.

The recipients are Ching (Teresa) Lin ($5,900); Milan Milosevic ($6,000); Aidan Mulldoon Wong ($5,950); Hee-Soo Yoon ($5,900); Michelle Lui ($16,800); Min Ha (Katherine) Kim ($6,000);

Nikita Pogrebnoy ($5,000); Lesley Anderson ($6,000); Rosaura Ojeda ($6,000); Andrew Skepasts ($5,950); and Brian Sumner ($3,000).

The 11 are among 257 grants worth a combined $2.58 million that are being distributed to artists and arts organizations in B.C. as part of the latest round of

successful BC Arts Council grant adjudications.

The funding is provided for scholarship awards and media arts, as well as professional development, early career development and touring initiatives in the performing arts and studio arts fields.

“The BC Arts Council is an important advocate for artists

throughout the province,” said Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg.

“I would like to congratulate all of the recipients and look forward to seeing the creativity and talent that they will bring to our community.”

The funding is part of a record $24 million provided to the BC Arts Council by

the provincial government to support B.C.’s arts and culture sector in this fiscal year.

Recipients were chosen after the BC Arts Council’s independent peer-review process took place this past summer.

White Rock man takes on position

New KPU chancellor named A White Rock man has been named the new chancellor of Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Dr. George Melville – who is chairman and owner of Boston Pizza International – was installed Oct. 1 for a three-year term.

He is the university’s second chancellor.

According to a news release, Melville served as a member of KPU’s board of governors for six years, where he helped guide the university’s transition from a community college to a university.

In 2012, he and his wife Sylvia donated $500,000 to create the Melville Centre for Dialogue at KPU Richmond.

Last year, he received an honorary doctor of laws from the university.

This latest honour was noted

by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin Monday, during his report to council.

“So we have the chancellor and we have the president (Alan

Davis) living in White Rock, so things are looking good in that respect,” Baldwin said.

Davis presented the university’s strategic plan, Vision 2018, to council in September 2013.

At the time, he shared plans for Kwantlen to return to White Rock, as well as establish a presence in South Surrey’s Grandview Heights.

In addition to naming Melville as chancellor, KPU presented four honorary degrees during

last week’s fall convocation ceremonies.

Recipients were former chancellor Arvinder Bubber, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation president and CEO Jane Adams, for Surrey School District superintendent Mike McKay and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.

Honorary degrees recognize dignified achievements or outstanding service to the public.

Integrated New Age Holistic Wellness Therapy

Freedom from Pain & Suffering!

Stella Maris Gala returns Star of the Sea is preparing to transform its gymnasium once again for the Stella Maris Gala.

The annual fall fundraising event is set for Oct. 18 at the South Surrey school, 15024 24 Ave., with doors opening at 5 p.m.

The event is a “significant source of revenue” for the school and has helped with the installation of the gymnasium and an entire wing of the school, which includes the library and fine arts room.

Most recently, gala proceeds have funded the preliminary stages of installation of an earthquake earlywarning system, with the final installation of the P-Wave Seismic Sensor Early Warning System to come this fall.

The system will be fully tested, then connected to networks at UBC and other seismic networks by the end of 2014, according

to the school’s website.

In addition, a portion of the gala funds was set aside for replacement of the roof.

The $167,000 project was completed over the summer and the school will continue to pay off the cost using a portion of this year’s gala.

Finally, portions of proceeds will also be used for important capital expenditures of the school, including the building of the northwest wall, overhauling washrooms and desk replacements.

The event will feature a champagne reception, gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing.

Attire for the evening is semi-formal. Ticket costs are $125 for a single ticket, $980 for a table of eight and $1,250 for a Gold Table of eight, which includes preferred seating and two bottles of wine.

YOU’RE INVITED!

Chris Czajkowski to speak at Ocean Park Library

Wilderness dweller shares book Ocean Park Library will host wilderness dweller and author Chris Czajkowski on Oct. 15.

At the event, which begins at 6:30 p.m., Czajkowski will present her book, And the River Still Sings Wilderness Dweller’s Journey.

Born and raised at the edge of a large village in England, Czajkowski abandoned the company of others at a young age.

In 1971, she hitchhiked around the world, spending as little time as possible in cities, and learning mountain skills in remote areas.

Czajkowski arrived in Canada in 1979, and built a cabin deep in the woods of B.C.’s Coast mountains. A few years later, she built a second cabin beside an untouched and remote high-altitude lake, calling the home Nuk Tessli and, over the next two decades, grew a thriving wilderness resort and guiding business.

Czajkowski began

writing about her adventures in 1980, and has gone on to write more than 10 books.

And the River Still

Sings explores both the experiences that led Czajkowski to a solitary lifestyle and her transition to a life

“We’re a second generation, full-service agency,” says Bruce Fougner, president of Lloyds Travel & Cruises, now open in our new Ocean Park location to serve clients in White Rock and South Surrey.

Lloyds has been a trusted name in the travel business ever since 1951and Bruce and his wife Wendy have been owners and managers since 1986, after the company passed to Wendy from her father.

“We bring great experience to the table,” Bruce says. “The average experience of each of our travel consultants is over 15 years.”

As a member of North America’s largest travel consortium, which books hundreds of escorted tours and cruises annually, Lloyds has tremendous buying power, giving clients all the pricing advantages they might search for on-line – “plus, they’re going to get full service as well,” Bruce says.

“We tend to concentrate on the more interesting travel opportunities; cruises and adventure tours, with a focus on families and longer-stay vacations.”

For shorter getaways closer to home, Lloyd’s also has had the advantage of offering its own product in the Okanagan and the Gulf Islands since 2002.

Taking over the former Ports of Call offices in Ocean Park fulfills a long held desire to have a South Surrey location, he adds.

“We looked at it eight years ago but the principals didn’t want to sell. But this year everyone there was retiring, so the timing was good.

“We already have many clients in this area. We’re glad to finally be neighbours in South Surrey.”

Clean-energy company set to operate in Campbell Heights

Wind-turbine facility opens A worldwide leader in wind energy is setting up a new shop in Campbell Heights.

Today (Thursday), Surreybased Endurance Wind Power Inc. will open its new manufacturing facility at 101 19347 24 Ave. With the new facility, the company will be able to expand its wind-turbine assembly operations, as well as add space for its head-office professionals.

The new facility will manufacture the company’s E3120 wind turbine, which generates enough energy to power a dairy farm or hospital, according to a news release.

“This year alone, we’ve created 80 new jobs at Endurance; 40 of them right here in the Lower Mainland,” said Glenn Johnson, CEO of Endurance Wind Power.

TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING DINNER

This Sunday & Monday!

An Endurance E Series wind turbine, which was built in Surrey.

“This new facility is indicative of how far we’ve come in a relatively short time. We started here in Surrey in 2007, just six of us, with a one-room office and a big vision of creating a global network of wind power to

deliver affordable clean energy.”

The new factory will officially throw open its doors today, from noon until 2 p.m., at an event that will include Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett.

Cloverdale construction to slow traffic

Overpass delays expected Jennifer Lang Black Press

Motorists can expect closures on the Roger Pierlet overpass in Cloverdale to slow down traffic for the next six months, as a construction project to repair the southbound portion of the 176 Street bridge gets underway.

Traffic is down to single lanes in both directions on the fourlane rail overpass just south of Highway 10.

the construction of the roadway leading up to the bridge to settle.

That’s created bumps in the road that need to be repaired on the southbound structure; familiar landmarks to anyone who uses the four-lane, U.S. border route on a regular basis.

The remediation work began last week and is expected be complete in spring 2015.

Throughout the project, traffic will detour along the adjacent northbound lanes, allowing the highway to remain open.

While the ministry conducted a detailed traffic analysis to

ensure the impact on traffic would remain at an acceptable level, motorists are advised to expect delays at times, particularly at peak traffic periods.

Ministry officials said, “We appreciate everyone’s patience during this construction period.”

The ministry worked with the design builder to develop and implement the remediation plan to fix the bridge.

The Roger Pierlet overpass is dedicated in memory of a Surrey RCMP constable who was shot and killed near the site in 1974 while on duty.

Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session Monday with a speech from the throne, offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers.

The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” said the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.”

The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014.

“This is a chance, not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation.

Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas-export

“We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said.

“We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.”

The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a

dozen international players considering LNG development.

NDP Leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue.

Petronas warns B.C. Tom Fletcher

the royalties paid to the province for gas from northeastern B.C. “The proposed fiscal package and regulatory pace in Canada threatens the global competitiveness of the Pacific Northwest LNG project,” Abbas said. “This is further exacerbated by preliminary project costs, which indicates cost of local contractors to be higher and not benchmarked to global contractor’s cost.”

Premier Christy Clark and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman met with Petronas last week and agreed to have the tax arrangements completed by the end of October.

The consortium, led by Petronas, also has to pass provincial environment assessment, including air pollution limits on its LNG compressors.

Black Press

Malaysia’s state-owned energy company has issued another public warning to the B.C. government that it could push back its investment in liquefied natural gas by 10 or 15 years.

Petronas CEO Shamsul Azhar Abbas issued a statement Monday describing a softening global market for natural gas and oil, and renewing criticisms made public in September about Canada’s tax and environment rules.

The latest shot across the bow from the leader of B.C.’s largest LNG project comes as the B.C. legislature meets for a rare fall session. The government’s main business in the twomonth sitting is to authorize a provincial tax on LNG exports in addition to

Embarrassment is just around the corner even when you’re in what seems like the privacy of your own car.

A survey of Metro Vancouver drivers found 54 per cent sing along to music while behind the wheel, even though 41 per cent find it embarrassing if they’re caught in the act.

Another 18 per cent admit they’ve been caught picking their nose by someone in another car while in traffic.

Fifty-seven per cent said they like to people watch while stuck in traffic, a statistic that helps explain the busting of the nose pickers.

The survey by Angus Reid for Beat The Traffic, a traffic information app, found 66 per cent of Metro drivers think traffic is a nightmare and one third are stuck in it for at least an hour a day.

Metro project in response to growth of region

$550M expansion of Annacis sewage plant Jeff Nagel Black Press

The rapid growth of the population in Metro Vancouver’s eastern communities also brings thousands of new flushing toilets each year.

And that is forcing the regional district

to embark on a major $550-million expansion of its Annacis Island sewage treatment plant.

The plant serves most of Burnaby, the TriCities, Delta, Surrey, White Rock and parts of Langley, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

It was last expanded

Thurs., Oct. 23, 2014 7:00-10:00 PM

in 1998 to handle a population of one million, but the new expansion will allow it to serve another 250,000 residents in its catchment area.

Metro’s board in September awarded a $47.3-million contract to JJM Construction Ltd./Geopac Inc. for the first year of work to prepare the ground and

relocate utilities.

It was the lowest of five bidders with proposals ranging from $53.8 to $60.9 million.

A lower final price was negotiated after some

project elements were removed.

The ground improvement work includes the installation of 9,000 stone columns to help provide seismic

protection during a major earthquake.

The Annacis expansion is to be built in two phases, with the first phase to be finished in 2018.

require routine maintenance to maintain its beauty and functionality.

Both granite and marble are both porous stones with tiny capillary channels between the minerals.

Quartz has no channels and doesn’t need to be sealed, making it easier to use in the kitchen or bathroom.

Another benefit of quartz is colour consistency.

Unlike granite and marble, which can vary in colour in one slab, quartz is the same colour throughout.

Quartz is also scratch resistant when exercising standard care.

“Right now a lot of

homeowners want lighter colour counter tops with darker colours mixed in elsewhere,” says Pelz.

“They want to lighten the space to make it look bigger.”

When using white or off-white quartz, backsplashes are a great way to add colour to a kitchen, notes Pelz.

“It’s good to pick a colour that’s in the countertop for the backsplash. It needs to tie everything together,” she adds.

Since quartz is a engineered stone, a wide range of colours are available, from warm and relaxed to bold and lively.

When homeowners want to renovate their kitchen, two of their main concerns for countertops are aesthetics and durability.

Lately many have been opting for quartz over granite because it’s nonporous, strong and pleasing to the eye.

“We see clients moving away from granite to quartz. Among other reasons, there is less maintenance with quartz,” says Lori Pelz from MPB Construction in South Surrey.

While granite and marble countertops need to be sealed regularly to prevent staining and growth of bacteria, quartz doesn’t

Customize your hot tub An evening hot tub session is the perfect way to de-stress after a long day at the office.

The warm water and relaxing massage can be good for your health, especial if you have sore muscles from sitting at a desk all day.

For a great massage, Sam Wark, manager of West Coast Pool & Spa in South Surrey, recommends customizing the experience.

This way the jets can be targeted to specific areas, such as an achy neck and shoulders.

Wark says the jets in Bullfrog Spas’ JetPak Therapy System, for example, can be interchanged in a few seconds.

With its two dozen different models, such as “Pulsator,” “Wellness,” and “RainShower,” the user can focus kneading, soothing, firm relief and deep tissue massage on specific areas of the body.

So, if your lower back and spine need extra attention, the “AcuTherapy” model is a good choice.

The system also saves energy because it has 90 per cent less pumping than a traditional hot tub.

“You have less water to

Take a break from fall and relax in your personal oasis. push through, so you’re using less power and getting more bang for your buck,” says Wark.

Calm music is another great way to unwind after a taxing day.

Kerry Vanderzalm, coowner of Art Knapp in Surrey, says Beachcomber’s surround sound system is a perfect option.

Built into the hot tub walls, sounds are driven through the water.

“When you put your

head under the water, the sound is great because it’s coming from under the water,” says Vanderzalm.

Since the speakers are engineered into the walls of the hot tub, the acrylic shells are converted into a sub-woofer.

The Beachcomber AirConnect uses bluetooth technology to connect smartphones, iPods and other music devices so you can listen to music wirelessly.

Simple tips to stay warm As cooler months approach, it’s important to ensure that your furnace is working in a safe and energy-efficient manner.

A good option is to call a professional to come to your home to complete a regular maintenance inspection, change the filter and check for leaks and unhealthy gases.

The furnace ducts can also be cleaned at this time.

Here are ways to help maintain your furnace yourself: - Buy filters during the warmer months because they are often on sale.

- Change the filters regularly, once every month to every three months. Take a look at the filter every month to see if it needs to be changed more frequently. Keeping the filters clean will improve your heating costs.

- Be careful not to store anything near the furnace, especially anything that can catch on fire. Remove any household items that are sitting on top of air ducts or return vents.

- If you have a hot-water radiator, open the valves slightly and close them again when water starts

It’s important to make sure your furnace is in top shape. to appear. This is called “bleeding the valves.”

Tips to save energy this fall: - Put on a sweater and lower the thermostat by a couple degrees Celsius.

- Lay a rug over hardwood floors to help keep warm air in the room.

- Avoid heating areas that are not insulated, such as garages, crawlspaces, attics and storage sheds.

- Program your thermostat to a lower temperature at

night and while you’re at work.

- To check if a door provides good insulation, place your hand against it from the inside. If it feels cooler than the inside walls, consider installing a door that’s better insulated, especially if it’s an entrance to a garage, cold storage room or uninsulated basement.

- A cheap way to insulate your windows is to put up clear plastic sheeting.

FALL HOME & GARDEN

Get your yard fall ready We design the experience As quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the blustery, cold days of winter. Winter can catch a person off guard and the seasons are now less predictable than ever before.

It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be sad to bid farewell to the furniture and accessories of the fair-weather season, but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow.

- Clean patio furniture. Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow to dry completely. Cleaning items before storing them for the winter saves time and energy next year when it’s time once again to set up the yard for recreation. If anything is damaged beyond repair, discard it and look for replacements during end-of-season sales when savings can be had.

- Move things indoors. The more items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage. Flower pots and lawn ornaments also can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the weight of the snow, so collect these items and store them for the winter. Take out patio umbrellas and put them in the shed. If something is too large to move indoors, such as a barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with a durable tarp and secure it with rope.

- Cover delicate trees. Depending on where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered

AFTER

Time to get your backyard ready for the fall. for the winter. Covering protects them from subfreezing temperatures and helps ensure they will rebound in the spring.

Tropical plants should be moved indoors where they can thrive in a heated home.

- Clean up leaves and debris. Piles of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn and cause discoloration, but also can be attractive homes for rodents and insects looking for a warm place to spend their winters. Keep your yard neat and clean to discourage wildlife from taking up residence near your home.

Night on Broadway raised nearly $10,000 for Surrey Food Bank

An impressive tribute to musical theatre A

socially minded, artssupportive corporation or organization in Surrey could do far worse than step up as a new major sponsor for Debra DaVaughn and Alex Browne Christopher Simmons’ annual fundraiser, A Night On Broadway.

Thanks to Envision Financial, which has now completed its three-year commitment as major sponsors, 100 per cent of ticket sales once again went to the Surrey Food Bank.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the most recent revue, A Night On Broadway - After Hours – in two performances at Surrey Arts Centre Oct. 4 – raised close to $10,000 for the invaluable community service, championed

by DaVaughn and Simmons for the last eight years. i see page 40

Eugene Skovorodnikov presents shows with Russian flair

Encore concert series brings world to White Rock Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Contributed photo

Eugene Skovorodnikov will bring his Encore series back to White Rock.

If you want to organize a series of concerts by high-level international concert artists in your own hometown, it’s no small advantage being an internationally known concert artist yourself.

That’s definitely the case with White Rock resident Eugene Skovorodnikov, whose appropriately named Encore Peninsula Concerts series is back for a must-see second season, starting Sunday, Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. at White Rock’s First United Church (15385 Semiahmoo Ave.).

“A lot of the artists are colleagues,” he said. “They know me personally and there is a mutual respect – they are coming here because they are my friends.”

The pianist and music educator, once the youngest faculty member at the historic St. Petersburg Conservatory in Russia, has had a long and equally distinguished concert career since he left his native land in 1990.

That’s included performances at the

Theatre Bibiena (Mantova, Italy), the Grand Theatre (Shenzhen, China), and the Xinghai Concert Hall (Guangzhou, China).

He also spent 20 years on the music faculty at UBC before deciding to devote his time to the Vancouver International School of Music, for which he’s both principal and co-founder, and to pursue more opportunities in an already busy international touring schedule.

In presenting the 2014 series of six concerts, Skovorodnikov, as founder and artistic director, is joined again by the City of White Rock as co-sponsors – he credits leisure services director Eric Stepura for his enthusiastic help on many of the logistics involved. And he emphasizes the intention of his series is to complement – not upstage – the almost six-decades-old tradition of the White Rock Concerts subscription series.

“We don’t conflict in terms of days and the content is quite different,” he said.

“They have formal Friday night concerts while ours are on Sunday afternoons – it’s a

OCTOBER 8- 25, 2014

different ambience.”

The fact that White Rock Concerts is sold out, once again, for the 2014-15 season, with a waiting list of over 300, is a healthy sign that the appetite for worldclass classical music on the Semiahmoo Peninsula is still strong, he noted.

To further underline the noncompetitiveness of the two series, piano duo Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, recently named associate artistic directors of White Rock Concerts, will also be showcased as performers for Encore Peninsula Concerts’ fourth presentation of the new season.

But the Oct. 19 concert will reunite Skovorodnikov, as pianist, with some St. Petersburg Conservatory cronies – the internationally noted Rimsky Korsakov String Quartet.

The repertoire will be largely Russian, too – the ever fascinating, evocative music of Shostakovich, Glazunov and Liadov.

nswer: You raise two questions. Firstly the amount you will be getting. The children of the brother that was killed are entitled to their father’s share, so adjust your budgeting to getting a quarter of the estate. Secondly, there is a lot of work to be done by the executors before they can make an application to Court which will give them legal access to assets of the estate. Even after the application, it can take several months for the Court to grant the order. In addition the Public Guardian and Trustee must be informed about the bequest to the teenagers and they must be satisiÀed that those children are protected. This will also take time.

Don’t plan on putting a deposit on a house for at least six months.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Two games scheduled

Hawks ready to play at home Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The fourth week of the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) season will see the Valley West Hawks play at home for the first time.

The team, comprised of players from the Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley minor hockey associations, will host the Vancouver Canadians at the Langley Events Centre at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The two teams will play again at the Richmond Oval Sunday, where the Canadians have played four of six games this season.

Valley West began the season with a two-game trip to Prince George against the Cariboo Cougars, then played two “home” games at the Richmond Ice Centre against the Thompson Blazers as part of the MML’s Show Weekend.

Hawks coach Jessie Leung, who has guided the team to a 2-2-0 (won-lost-tied) start in his first season as the head coach, isn’t a fan of having a bye so early in the season, noting “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 we hit the midway point.”

Valley West is in a four-way tie for sixth place, and all five teams above them in the standings have played six games to just four for the Hawks.

The Canadians, after four games in Richmond to start the season, were in Prince George last week.

Playing as the visitors for the first time this season, they split a pair of 3-2 decisions with the Cariboo Cougars to improve to 4-2-0 on the season.

Mariners go south After a hard week of practice in South Surrey, the Earl Marriott Mariners’ senior football team packed their bags and headed to Washington last Friday, for an exhibition game against the Vashon Island Pirates.

The Mariners came up just short, losing 22-12 to the Pirates and their double-wing style offence. Nathan Brown had over 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns for the Peninsula squad.

South Surrey hoops coach to pursue ‘new options’

Allen to leave TWU post TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE

Gary Ahuja Black Press

Former White Rock Christian Academy basketball coach Scott Allen is stepping down as Trinity Western University men’s basketball coach following the 201415 season, it was announced last week.

Allen – who left WRCA in 2008 to move to the college ranks – will remain with the Spartans throughout the 2014-15 campaign, and with a strong recruiting class, is gearing up for another successful season as the Spartans bench boss.

But following the season, the longtime hoops coach plans to pursue other opportunities in the basketball community.

“I’ll finish off the year, then weigh some new options,” Allen told Peace Arch News.

“I want to thank Scott for the solid coaching that he provided for our men’s basketball program, highlighted by the CIS silver medal in 2011,” said Dr. Blair Whitmarsh, Dean of the School of Human Kinetics.

The silver medal is a programbest for the Spartans men’s basketball team.

Trinity Western will immediately commence a national search for a full-time head coach to lead the Spartans into the 2015-16 season.

South Surrey resident Scott Allen is leaving Trinity Western hoops.

Allen coached at White Rock Christian from 1992 until leaving for TWU in 2008.

In that time, he led the Warriors to two senior boys single-A provincial titles and three AAA championships.

When he left WRCA, he had the highest winning percentage at B.C. senior boys AAA championships of any coach in the history of the tournament.

Today (Thursday), Allen’s men’s team will play a game in his old

South Surrey stomping grounds, as the Spartans are set to take on the University of Fraser Valley Cascades at Semiahmoo Secondary.

The game is set for 7:15 p.m., and will feature a handful of WRCA alumni – Trinity’s Tyus Allen, Matt Hayashi, Peter Spangehl and Vartan Tanelian.

Tamanawis graduate Nate Brown, in his first year at UFV, will play for the Cascades.

Trial set in Bacon murder A trial date has been set for the three men accused of the murder of former Red Scorpions gang leader Jonathan Bacon and the attempted murder of four others.

Jujhar Khun-Khun of Surrey, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones of Gibsons and Jason Thomas McBride of North Vancouver appeared in court in Kelowna on Monday, when the date for their jury trial was scheduled for April 4, 2016.

The three are each charged with one count of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder, and three counts of discharging a firearm with intent.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit announced in February 2013 that the three had been arrested following an 18-month investigation that was dubbed E-Nitrogen.

Bacon, 30, of Abbotsford was in a Porsche Cayenne SUV with four other people when they were shot at on Aug. 14, 2011 outside the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort in Kelowna.

The ministry staff and research contractors were using patient data for research related to which drugs were approved for use under B.C.’s Pharmacare program.

An investigation by B.C.’s privacy commissioner concluded that the data were shared with unauthorized people, apparently “to work around the lengthy approval process.”

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said the government’s decision to send MacIsaac’s family a cheque for the final days of his employment, with no other communication, was unacceptable.

“Heavy-handed would be an understatement,” Darcy said.

“We have witnessed the actions of a government that did its level best to avoid responsibility for ruining eight people’s lives until the heartfelt pleadings of Linda Kayfish, Roderick MacIsaac’s brave sister, shamed this government into action.”

STAYTE DENTAL

B.C. plan steers clear of ferry, toll complaints

Transportation input sought Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is calling for public input to help guide a new 10-year provincial transportation plan he aims to unveil by the end of January.

The public consultations for the plan – dubbed “B.C. On the Move” – include meetings across the province with communities and stakeholders, a Twitter town hall and a dedicated website at engage.gov.bc.ca/transportationplan Stone said he expects local priorities coming forward may include calls for secondary road improvements, more highway passing lanes or four-lane sections, as well as enhancements to local transit or cycling routes.

The ministry is accepting submissions until Dec. 12.

Survey questions to the public released by the ministry emphasize highway improvements and ask nothing about coastal ferry service or fares – the main source of criticism for Stone in recent months. The ministry will instead rely on previous public consultations in 2011 by the B.C. Ferry Commissioner to guide the ferries portion of the new plan.

Nor does the document ask the public if they’re willing to pay more tolls to finance new bridges in Metro Vancouver.

File photo

The replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge is expected to be part of B.C.’s new transportation plan.

Stone previously promised a tolling policy review, in light of probable new tolls on replacements of the Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel, and a call from Metro mayors for tolling reform to allow road pricing to fund TransLink.

Tolling inequity is already a major complaint among Surreyarea residents, who feel singled out by tolls on the province’s Port Mann Bridge and TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge.

Stone said he remains committed to review the policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure where there’s a reasonable untolled alternative, but couldn’t give a timeline.

The replacement of the Massey Tunnel between Delta and Rich-

Are you eating right for your retina?

mond with a new bridge is already in the technical design phase and is expected to be one of the plan’s centrepiece projects, along with the Cariboo Connector four-laning of 440 kilometres of Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Prince George.

It’s also expected to explore options for a future second crossing of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna.

Stone said a successful referendum on new taxes for TransLink in Metro Vancouver next spring would result in the mayors’ transit expansion plans being added into the provincial plan.

A referendum defeat, he said, would leave “other investments” identified as priorities in the Lower Mainland to be pursued under the plan.

Stone said he’s working collaboratively with the mayors to help them adjust their financial assumptions and design the question so the referendum – to be held via mail-in ballot – has the “maximum chance of success.”

A discussion guide for the consultations notes the province needs to replace aging transportation infrastructure, while preparing for an extra million B.C. residents by 2025 as well as the effects of aging demographics, growing demand for public transit and increased pressure on rural roads from resource development.

Stunning views at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands

By Kerry Vital

Beautiful homes, amazing views and a fantastic location combine at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, the Fraser Valley’s premier new address.

Located in Agassiz atop Mount Woodside, Harrison Highlands is the largest master-planned river view community in the Fraser Valley. Two distinct communities are situated within the development: Woodside and Briarwood. Both

feature two- to four-bedroom homes with stunning views and beautiful interior features.

“This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “It’s also a great place to raise a family.”

The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home.

European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes).

The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have in-floor heat in the master bedroom as well.

The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks, and natural trails, with amazing river and mountain views. Future development plans intend to include a neighborhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants or retail spaces. The District of Kent also has an on-site water treatment facility and plans for a future fire hall.

Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands.ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (687-8439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

Boffo’s Adagio is hitting a high note in South Surrey, with elegant kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and plenty of space for living, relaxing and entertaining. Homeowners will also have access to a stunning community courtyard, among other amenities.

Italian traditions at Boffo’s Adagio

By Kerry Vital

Boffo has been one of the top developers in the Lower Mainland for decades, and they are known for beautiful homes. They’ve brought their expertise to South Surrey with Adagio, a condominium project that has already been extremely popular with local purchasers.

“Everyone who has moved in already has been absolutely thrilled by the amenities, the homes and the entire aesthetic,” says sales manager Sandra Miller. “Boffo has a long history of Italian traditions and attention to detail, and these homes are reflective of that.”

A beautifully landscaped community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots is just one of the amazing things available for residents at Adagio.

“Every aspect has been taken care of here,” says Miller. “The Boffo stamp is on this project. We’re very proud of it.”

Inside, the one-bedroom and den, twoand three-bedroom homes feature nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor) and large windows that let the natural light pour in.

Large terraces and patios add to your living space.

The kitchen is an absolute highlight.

Natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash, and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting beautifully illuminates your tasks. Stainlesssteel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop and a 36-inch counter-depth fridge, and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated, and large kitchen islands feature

a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining.

Premium laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms include carpet made for sinking your toes into.

The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/ shower combination.

Bathrooms include a built-in wall niche, and ensuites have a radiant heated floor.

The custom suspended under-lit vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops are complemented by a matching backsplash.

Most ensuites include a his-and-hers vanity for extra convenience.

The community is one of the big draws for purchasers at Adagio.

“The location is fantastic,” Miller says. “You can’t beat it.”

Located in the Semiahmoo neighbourhood, residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep.

From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach.

Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach.

If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you’ll find an art gallery, theatre and museum just minutes away.

On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool table and a large garden and patio area. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room.

“There is always something going on here,” says Miller. “People appreciate that. It’s a wonderful social atmosphere.”

Homes range from one-bedroom and den homes, offering 784 square feet of living space, up to 1,279 square feet for a three-bedroom, three-bath home. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca, contact sales managers Sandra Miller and Ian Watts of Bay Realty Ltd. at 604-531-6659 or stop by the presentation centre at 101-15360 20th Avenue at 154th, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 5 p.m., except Fridays.

10 steps to buying your home 1. Are you ready to buy?

You should already have saved some of your down payment and should be good at managing debt like credit cards or loans. A mortgage is a financial responsibility that also requires constant upkeep.

2. Decide how much you can afford.

Use this simple equation to consider what to expect after you’ve saved for your down payment. The cost of buying a home = one time costs (down payment, legal fees, inspection fees and taxes) + monthly costs (mortgage, utilities, maintenance, insurance and property taxes).

3. Decide what you want to buy.

First, decide where you want to live (urban, suburban, rural) and then decide which neighbourhood suits you best and what type of home (detached, attached or apartment) you want. Whether or not the property is new or resale may also affect your costs.

4. Find the right Realtor.

There are many ways to find a real estate agent; drive through neighborhoods that interest you and jot down names, go to open houses, look at advertising, ask friends and family for referrals. Interview two or three and pick the one you like best.

5. See what’s out there.

Realtors run an incredible search tool called the Multiple Listings Service (MLS) which contains information on property listings. Your agent can send you listings that fit your criteria and together you can draw up a short list and visit them.

6. Sell your current home. See below.

7. Add specialists to your team.

Decide on a lender. A notary public or a lawyer will help you understand the many legal documents that come with buying your home. A home inspector can save you from unpleasant surprises when you move in.

8. Make an offer.

Realtors are expertly trained and will prepare your offer for you and explain any terminology you don’t understand.

9. Arrange a mortgage.

There are banks, credit unions and other lenders available for you. Talk to your financial institution and call around.

10. Close the deal and move in.

Your offer has been accepted and your real estate agent and notary public or lawyer will do most of the closing work.

Make sure you understand the conditions of the agreement that require immediate action on for part.

10 steps to selling your home 1. Decide when to sell.

In real estate, timing can influence your home’s selling price. Factors like how quickly you need to sell, whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market and seasonality all play a role in your home’s final selling price.

2. Find the right Realtor.

The agent who helped you buy your home is a good place to start. They already know your home and they know you, so you’ll be saving time right from the start. Or look for names on For Sale signs in your neighbourhood or ask friends and family. Make sure to interview candidates and choose the one you like best.

3. Sign a listing agreement.

This authorizes your agent and their brokerage to market and sell your home. It will define the legal relationship between you and the real estate brokerage and also set a time limit for your agent to sell your home.

4. Determine an asking price.

The right asking price will attract buyers and pay you a maximum return. Setting too low a price means you could miss out on thousands of dollars. Setting too high a price will scare away buyers. Your goal is to find fair market value.

5. Add specialists to your team.

Similar to when you bought your home, it’s essential to have a notary public or lawyer handle all the documents that change hands and make sure your interests are protected.

6. Prepare your home for sale.

Now is the time to see your home

through a buyer’s eyes: get rid of clutter, clean and repair as much as you can, within reason. Remember, weigh the cost of all your home improvements versus the potential financial return.

7. Let your Realtor do what they do.

Your agent will begin to market your home. A For Sale sign, open houses, newspaper ads, a listing on MLS, the Internet and of course through your agent’s relationship with other agents.

8. Prepare your finances.

Will the buyer “assume” your mortgage or are you “discharging” it? If you’re buying a new home, is your mortgage “portable?” What taxes are involved?

These are important questions to ask your agent, your lender and your notary public or lawyer.

9. Receive an offer.

Although Realtors will walk you through the process, be prepared for some stress.

You will see every offer since it’s required that you see every offer submitted. You will have three options: accept, reject or counter offer.

10. Close the deal.

You were successful and have drafted a legally binding agreement. Contact your lawyer or notary public, your lending institution and consult your Realtor.

Immediately start satisfying any conditions of the agreement that require action on your part. On closing day, your lawyer or notary public will finalize all the details and give you a cheque for the net proceeds.

Welcome to the driver’ss seat

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors.

Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever.

Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs.

Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information.

Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales?

With the distractions of technology, smartphones, television, life, video games and more, it can be tough to find an activity in which the whole family can participate.

Age differences and general interests can vary greatly.

My brother and I couldn’t be more opposite. Rest assured, there is hope, and some of it comes on two wheels.

Scott Ponuick, marketing and promotions manager at Popkum Motor Park, in Rosedale, raced snowmobiles and ATVs as a child.

And he road raced for many years of his life.

He also grew up around the racetrack, as his father raced stock cars.

You could say motor oil runs through his veins.

He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,” since she showed interest in the sport.

For all the time that Christine cheered on her husband, it was time for her to get in her own saddle. He fixed it up and it ran like new. She loved it.

She explains: “It was fun watching him, but I’d rather be out there too!”

Not too long after that, Christine became pregnant with their first child.

“Before she (Taylor) was even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her,” Christine says.

By the time Taylor was two years old, she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course.

Then again, you could argue that she was on two wheels much before then because the only way she’d fall asleep as a baby was when her dad would ride her around the back yard in a harness.

“She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.”

Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it.

At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes.

They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble.

“It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott.

Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said

memories together.”

He talks about the families who come out to the Park.

Moms, dads and kids alike take to the track.

Christine comments: “You

that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless.

“It’s such a great way to build motor skills, co-ordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many

New Kia has an electric soul Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall five-door compact with the funky styling.

Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and so is the public charge station infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban areas.

A digital readout showed 187 km of driving range available as we headed out on a test loop around Metro Vancouver.

And after about 30 minutes of no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available.

That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km.

In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat four to five passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide than others, as it can be molded into different shapes.

by Bob McHugh

In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan.

The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepower liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance was impressively smooth.

Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille.

The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time.

We didn’t take it out on the freeway, but the Soul

EV seemed very stable (it’s heavier then the gas engine Soul) and Kia claims a top speed of 145 km/hour.

It’s agile and peppy, with lots of initial get up and go, but it’s also no dragster.

The two-tone gray interior theme came with attractive and contrasting blue stitching. Extensive use of bio-friendly interior materials also makes Soul EV the most eco-friendly vehicle made by Kia. The base edition of Soul EV is very well equipped and even comes with dual-zone climate control, voice-acti-

vated navigation and a rear view camera.

Moving up to EV Luxury adds features like leather (synthetic) upholstery, a heat pump (enhances the climate control system), cooled and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats.

Soul EV is only available through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver).

The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in this price range.

The Kia Soul EV is one of a growing number of electric vehicles on the road.

ROSS, Allan 1928 - 2014 It is with deep sadness that the family of Allan Ross announce his death after a brief illness.

Allan was born in the Sandon Apartments in East Vancouver, which were owned at the time by his beloved grandmother, Ada Taylor.

Allan never married, but is survived by his cousins Lorna, Norman, Colin, Bill, Beverley and Diane.

Affectionately known as ‘Mr. Britannia”, Allan worked and volunteered at the Britannia Community Centre from it’s founding in 1976 until the end of his life.

A man with a big heart, Allan loved Christmas traditions, and was Santa Claus to hundreds of people, both young and old, in schools and community groups.

In his younger years, Allan thought nothing of hiking up from the bottom of the old chair to his cabin on Grouse Mountain.

An exceptional skier, Allan could be seen in his lederhosen, knickerbockers, and lace up boots lighting up the ‘cut” with grace and aplomb.

In later years, Allan divided his time between his seaside apartment in White Rock, and the ‘Drive’. He had great respect for TransLink bus drivers, and knew many of them by their first names. His invitation to attend the re-opening of the York Theatre capped off a life time love affair with movies, music and entertainment.

Allan you were one-of-a-kind - and you will be missed!

A gathering to honour his life will take place at 10:00 am on Friday, Oct 17th in the Britannia Community Centre AML Lounge, 1661 Napier Street.

Obituaries can be

SAWCHUK, Leonid (Leo) Samuel “Those we love don’t go away.

They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear.”

The family of Leo Sawchuk are saddened to announce his peaceful passing on October 3, 2014. Born at home in Winnipeg, Manitoba on November 20, 1925, Leo decided early on that his future would not be spent on the prairies and at the tender age of seventeen he headed west.

After two stalled efforts, he finally arrived in British Columbia, eventually settling in South Surrey. He lived a full life, benefiting from the experience that both success and failure affords us.

He is survived by Lynne, his loving wife of 57 years; his sons Lee (wife Jan), Mike (wife Dawn), and Rande; his grandchildren, Rob (wife Joanne), Cole, Zack, Emma, Noah, Wyatt and Cheyenne; great grandchildren Lauren and Tyler; and siblings Yvonne, Daria, Elaine and Joey. He was predeceased by his sisters, Snow and Lessia, and his brother Buck.

The Sawchuk family would also like to acknowledge the love and support of lifelong friends, Bob and Heather House, and Bill and Eleanor Linklater, and their families.

Lynne would like to extend her warmest thanks to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, the kind and eternally supportive staff at Delta View Centre, and the attentive and compassionate staff of third North, Royal Columbia Hospital.

By Leo’s choice, there will be no service. His family and friends will celebrate his life next spring, with a memorial to be scheduled on Salt Spring Island.

Should you wish to honour Leo’s life, donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada can be made at: www.kidney.ca

TETZ, Rod G. Passed away September 15, 2014 in Peace Arch Hospital.

Rod had been living with multiple myeloma since 2008.

He lived the real meaning of courage and bravery while living with this incurable cancer. Rod’s love of family was evident in his last few weeks as his sons and their wives visited on a daily basis.

His brothers and dear friends were there regularly, as well, showing their love for him and marvelling at his strength.

Rod was born in Murrayville, B.C on August 4th, 1954. He is survived by Marnie, his wife of 38 years, their 2 sons Jared (Nantina) and Jesse (Laura). We will always remember you Rod for your love of family and for your dry witty sense of humour that thankfully your sons share. You were an amazing father, loving husband and will be missed so much.

In lieu of flowers donations that go directly to support clinical drug trials for multiple myeloma research at Vancouver General Hospital can be made by going to this site,
