DEADLY ROAD IN DELTA? ▶ BARRIERS WERE REQUESTED YEARS AGO ON STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WHERE TWO SURREY TEENS DIED MONDAY

Extra counsellors were on hand at Clayton Heights Secondary this week after two students at the Surrey high school were killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Delta on Monday afternoon. Friends and family of Chantal MacLean and Cody Kehler, both 17, took to social media to express their grief at the sudden loss of the teens, who were both avid and talented rugby players who were in Grade 12 at Clayton Heights. MacLean’s sister said on Facebook that Cody and Chantal were a couple and were on their way to have Thanksgiving dinner at Cody’s family’s house when the crash occurred. “I can’t cry enough tears to make it better. It doesn’t feel real,” she said. “My heart aches.” Another friend said, “Two amazing people taken from us way too soon.”

Crime is in the crosshairs of Surrey mayoral candidates, but are their promises of more police officers even possible? Surrey First mayoral candidate Coun. Linda Hepner has vowed to hire 147 more police officers over the next two years. And Safe Surrey Coalition’s Doug McCallum wants 95 extra officers in the same time frame. But can Surrey get them? continued on page 3

Chantal MacLean and Cody Kehler, both 17-year-old students at Clayton Heights Secondary School, were killed in a head-on collision on Highway 10 west of Scott Road on Monday. The stretch of road was the scene of another serious multiple car crash two years ago. FACEBOOK PHOTOS “Our hearts are heavy and … minds blown. So sorry for the loss of such beautiful people,” another woman wrote. Doug Strachan, communications manager for the Surrey School District, said extra counselling support is available at the high school should anyone need it. “It’s obviously a devastating impact even to lose one student during the course of a school year,” he said. “But to lose two on the same day, there’s a lot of students and staff affected.”

Delta Police said the crash, which involved five vehicles, took place on a hilly curve on Highway 10 between Scott Road and Highway 91 at about 3:15 p.m. Oct. 13. Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the preliminary investigation indicates a westbound vehicle, occupied by Kehler and MacLean, crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic. Several others suffered a variety of injuries in the crash, but none requiring lengthy hospital care, said Swallow, who added traffic

analysts continue to work to determine the cause of the crash. Concerns have been raised over the stretch of provincial highway in the past. Following a spectacular, albeit non-fatal, crash there in July 2012, community activist and then-B.C.

▶ CADETS DECREASED SINCE 2008

from page 1

The City of Surrey has approved the police committee’s request to hire 47 more RCMP officers – on top of the already planned 95 – over the next three years. FILE PHOTO

Surrey approves 142 more cops Surrey will be adding 47 more cops on top of the 95 additional officers already promised by the city over the next three years. The move – which was endorsed by the city’s police committee Tuesday afternoon – is based on two recent studies of Surrey RCMP services commissioned by the citythis year. It will bring to 142 the number of police on order Surrey over the next three years. How those extra Mounties will be funded is yet to be determined. If the money was to come by way of taxes only, it would represent a property tax increase of 8.52 per cent, or $128 on the average home worth$640,000. The Leader first revealed in August that the number of general duty officers on any given shift in Surrey is about 36. The news prompted an angry reaction from the public that insisted the city hire more police officers to patrol the streets. Most mayoral platforms are now calling for marked increases in the number of police. The ruling civic party, Surrey First, initially called for an additional 95

officers within the next three years. Now, the Mounties are requesting an extra 47 officers on top of that, based on the results of the two reports, which also talked about the number of general duty officers on the street and their response times. The first item in Dr. Irwin Cohen’s report on the Surrey RCMP is titled “Additional Members Are Required forGeneral Duty.” Cohen, a professor of criminology for the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), was commissioned by the city to look at policing earlier this year. He said in his report that given Surrey’s growth, current staffing is insufficient. “Surrey is a growing municipality with crime problems that are underscored by substance abuse, mental health issues and gang involvement,” Cohen said. “… the current staffing levels in GD (general duty) are insufficient given the workload demands.” Police management consultant Peter Bellmio authored another report for the Surrey Mounties called “General Duty Staffing Assessment” and noted the workload for Surrey RCMP officers is growing. Bellmio points out that calls for service for general duty officers grew by 10.4 per cent from 2008 to 2013. He also found for several reasons, the response time to emergency calls by Surrey RCMP is a bit slower than other jurisdictions. Many North American cities have found average emergency response time is seven minutes, Bellmio wrote. The emergency response times in Surrey last year averaged 8.5 minutes. Urgent calls were nearly 12 minutes and routine calls were more than an hour-and-a-half. Reasons can include delays by dispatch and travel time. For solutions, Bellmio focused on some strategic changes required by Surrey Mounties to achieve more proactive policing. But he also touched on the benefit of hiring more police officers The election will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15.

▼ FORTY-SEVEN NEW HIRES WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE 95 PROMISED BY THE CITY OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS

Oriole Dr. Dr. Oriole

The number of recruits at the RCMP training academy Depot in Regina, which provides newly minted Mounties for the entire country, has hit critical lows since 2008. Six years ago 1,783 cadets were enrolled, with 1,258 graduating. That number dropped to 340 in 2013. Depot told The Leader that number has come back up to 960 this year, but the figure is still lower than what it was in 2008. NDP MP for Newton-North Delta Jinny Sims says the drop in recruitment numbers does not bode well for Surrey. “I keep saying – we have a growing city, and more people means a need for more police to keep our streets safe,” Sims said. “Of course we need buy-in from Ottawa. The declining number of RCMP graduates is alarming for everyone.” Figures show that since 2008, Surrey has never received more than two per cent of the total graduates leaving Regina. Using that number, with the full 960 graduating this year, that would mean Surrey would receive 19 officers. That’s far less than the 142 officers the City of Surrey and RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy are asking for over three years (see story at right). Fordy told The Leader Tuesday he’s received assurance from E-Division (the regional RCMP headquarters) that he can get the officers he’s requesting. “Why would I request more than I can get?” he asked. Mayoral candidate Coun. Barinder Rasode says she doubts Surrey First can get all the Mounties they want. She believes it will take five years to fill those positions. “Surrey needs police right now,” Rasode said. She plans to hire 200 community safety personnel (unarmed officers) immediately. They would be recruited and trained locally. Surrey First mayoral candidate Coun. Linda Hepner said she would help augment the numbers from Regina by helping to recruit more people interested in joining the RCMP.

avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president. B.C. Nurses’ Union (BCNU) President Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out. Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case. A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection. Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff. “This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities. “Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters. He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement.

described those cases as low to medium risk. North American anxiety about the disease outbreak that has killed thousands in West Africa soared after a patient arrived in Texas with the virus and later died. Two nurses there subsequently tested positive for the virus although it’s unclear how they were exposed. The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” he added. Kendall praised the past bravery of health care workers in dealing with outbreaks such as SARS and pointed to HIV as a precedent where fear of exposure at times threatened to hinder treatment. Unlike airborne viruses, Ebola can only be caught through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. Fraser Health’s head of infection control previously predicted the region would successfully isolate and contain any Ebola patient arriving in the region at its designated hospital – Surrey Memorial. Vancouver Coastal Health Authority hasn’t identified a primary hospital to take suspect cases, instead expecting all sites to be ready. Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health officials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing. More suspect cases are also likely since about 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flu-like symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation pending further assessment. The BCNU letter says the union has advised members to only care for suspected Ebola patients if they’ve been provided proper equipment and training. It also urges improved procedures on cleaning and handling garbage, handling the deceased and asks what contingency plans will be in place when 99 ERs are already full.

Hepner wants Riverview-style facility for mentally ill in Surrey ▶ SURREY FIRST MAYORAL CANDIDATE WOULD WORK WITH VICTORIA TO BUILD CENTRE NEAR SURREY MEMORIAL KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey may be home to a “Riverview”-style facility for people with mental illness and addictions, if one mayoral candidate has her way. Surrey First’s Linda Hepner is calling for the facility to be built near Surrey Memorial Hospi-

tal, saying it would ease the pressure off police. “It would be of significant size, and Riverview is a perfect example,” Hepner said Wednesday. “There’s not a mayor in the Lower Mainland who doesn’t think (cities) have been disadvantaged since Riverview closed.”

Riverview was a psychiatric hospital on 57 hectares of property

in Coquitlam that once was home to 5,000 patients. To create a similar facility, Surrey would likely offer the land and the province would have to build it, Hepner said. She could not say if there is there is provincial support for such a facility, nor could she say how much it would cost. “I know what the cost is of not doing something,” she said.

▶ REQUEST FOR BARRIERS RENEWED from page 1

Then-transportation minister Blair Lekstrom replied, saying Pitcairn’s recommendation was being reviewed. But the barriers were never installed. This week, Pitcairn blamed the deaths of Kehler and MacLean on the government’s inaction. “What a terrible waste of young lives that could have easily been prevented with a simple roadway upgrade,” said Pitcairn. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said because Highway 10 is a provincial roadway, Delta doesn’t have the jurisdiction to simply install barriers. She said Delta did correspond with the province two years ago about the issue and it appeared steps were being taken to improve the safety of the roadway. Jackson said the requests for barriers have been renewed in light of the Surrey teens’ deaths. “It was a terrible, terrible tragedy,” she said. “Again, it just shows the frailty of systems. Despite the fact we try to cover all those safety bases, sometimes it just doesn’t come to fruition. But we’re working very hard to see if we can bring that to pass.” Delta installed concrete barriers and speed indicator signs more than two year ago on Nordel Way, a stretch of road where similar serious accidents have occurred. A memorial volleyball game was planned at Clayton Heights Secondary Wednesday night in honour of MacLean and Kehler.

A July 25, 2012 crash involving multiple vehicles on Highway 10 west of Scott Road. FILE PHOTO

Last week we asked: Do you think Surrey’s quality of life deserves more than a C grade average? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 38% No 62%

Just one month to go Dianne Watts may have been one of Surrey’s most popular mayors in many years, but Lois Jackson has done something that Watts will likely never achieve. Jackson has won the Delta mayor’s chair by acclamation. By nomination deadline on Friday, no one was willing to come forward to challenge her. Jackson may not want to enter her sixth term as Delta’s mayor this way. She is a fierce competitor. As the first woman ever elected to Delta council in 1972, she is a survivor par excellence, and she has usually had to fight for everything she has achieved. In the last election in 2011, she had three competitors, including two who had served as councillors and received less than 50 per cent of the vote. A woman winning an election was a singular achievement in 1972. Few women were sitting on municipal councils, although they were much better represented on school boards. Delta was and is a conservative community, and was used to men on council. Jackson changed all that and blazed trails that many have women since followed. Today, Delta is represented by a woman in the House of Commons. One of its two MLAs in Victoria is a woman. The current council has two female councillors, in addition to Jackson, who wasn’t even the first woman to be elected mayor. That honour

goes to Beth Johnson, who was first elected mayor in 1990. Jackson has been a true role model for many young women and continues to fight for her community with conviction. Perhaps the win by acclamation is a way for the community to say thanks to her for all she has done. Either that, or no one else wants to lose to her. Meanwhile in Surrey, there are no less than seven candidates for mayor, with three well-known politicians from past and present the likely front-runners. Each of the three heads up a slate of followers, in the hopes that if he or she wins, they will have enough votes to implement some changes. Surrey First should be in the driver’s seat, as the slate is endorsed by the popular Watts. Linda Hepner is the mayoral candidate, and her slate includes five incumbents. Surrey First won all nine seats in 2011, but Barinder Rasode left the organization and is now running for mayor with the One Surrey Electors Association. She heads up a team of seven councillor candidates. None have elected experience, but several are wellknown in various community endeavours. The Rasode-Hepner split may prove to be an advantage for former Surrey mayor Doug

McCallum, who is returning to the fray after nine years out of office. He heads a team of four candidates – just enough for control of council, should they all be elected. McCallum was in the lead in a poll released on Tuesday, but its findings are somewhat suspect. Polls for municipal elections are even more unreliable than the provincial polls proved to be in 2013 – for the simple reason that most people who are polled do not vote. This is particularly true in Surrey, which has a young population. Many young people pay little attention to municipal elections. They may be aware of some of the issues, but usually do not get out to the polls to vote. Considering that Surrey has more than 320,000 eligible voters, and it is unlikely that more than 30 to 35 per cent of them will vote, it is very hard for both pollsters and politicians to reach those who actually will go and vote. The race for mayor will certainly increase the level of interest in the election and boost turnout, but it would be amazing indeed if the modern era high water mark of 43 per cent, reached in 1980, will be achieved. It will be an interesting month, leading up to election day on Nov. 15.

Ditch this city’s image ▼ SURREY DOESN’T LOOK GOOD – A FACT THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE

Although I fully support the major issues being discussed by hopeful politicians in Surrey such as crime, transportation, etc., I believe other important problems have never been mentioned, such a city beautification, which would go a long way to increasing how the city is viewed by others. There are far too many streets in Surrey that look terrible as one drives

around, like old narrow roads with no curbs and those dirty ditches everywhere. If the city would get rid of the unsightly ditches and install those easily made curbs from forms, it would be much easier for residents to mow lawns right to the curb and grow more shrubs to spruce everything up. It would also stop so many pigs from throwing fast food wrappers in the ditches as though they are garbage cans. When I bought my home in 1981, I phoned the city to inquire about the ditch in front of my home on 103A Avenue. They told me the city was slowly

filling in all the ditches but it would be about 10 years before they are all done. Well, here it is 33 years later and I am still waiting. They would fill mine in and charge me around $5,000 for it. What nonsense. All it takes is a layer of gravel, then put down the water drain pipe, and fill the rest with dirt – about a four-hour job. So how about it all you mayor and council hopefuls. Will any of you promise to get rid of the ditches? Let’s hear your views.

▼ THE ISSUE OF MULTIPLE SUITES HAS BEEN A BURDEN FOR DECADES Homeowners and builders that have built more than one suite in their residence and profited by disobeying our bylaws must be made accountable. It is one thing to wish to put this issue under control and to provide more education, but this issue has been going on for decades. Homeowners who have more than one suite, as well as the builders who prepared such areas for this use once the inspection was done, should be fined $10 per square foot of the units yearly. There cannot be excuses on the pretext they did not know. “Ignorantia juris non excusat” (Latin for “ignorance of the law does not excuse”) is a legal principle that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law. I demand definitive action from our next City of Surrey council on this issue.

▼ WE NEED ADVOCATES FOR OUR KIDS’ FUTURES Nov. 15 is a pivotal moment in public education, the date of local trustee and municipal elections in B.C. On this day, voters will have an opportunity to elect the women and men who will lead and oversee public education in various communities. School trustees working in their communities with education partners and parents provide focus and direction to help realize the educational aspirations of students throughout the province. Public education is everyone’s business. It is the engine that will determine the success of our province. Our future employees, leaders, parents and citizens will come from today’s classrooms. Nov. 15 is your opportunity to select the individuals in your community who will advocate for that future and who will determine the directions to guide this critical public investment. Public education is always exciting and challenging in British Columbia. When I see students in our classrooms supported by dedicated teachers, administrators support staff, and trustees, I see the future. Working together with a clear focus on what is best for student ensures that the future will be bright. Teresa Rezansoff, President B.C. School Trustees Association

‘Report card’ in question Re: “Surrey brings home its report card,” The Leader, Oct. 9. One cannot assess the results of a survey without knowing the questions; questions that are too vague result in responses that cannot be accepted as fact. What was the precise wording of the questions? The report indicated 52 per cent were unemployed, but what was the question? Are you employed or not? A majority “no” response in Surrey most likely includes all retirees, single mothers with small children, homemakers and people looking after aged parents or handicapped children (with a median age of 37.5, most retirees were probably not included, but single mothers with small children, homemakers, etc. could have been included with honest answers depending on how the question was interpreted), so 52 per cent is not very useful as “fact.” According to the figures, there were 571 respondents and 276 respondents (or 48 per cent) feel safe. This seems like a high number given the murders taking place on our streets almost

A letter writer argues a recent survey of Surrey residents may not present an accurate picture.

every other day and the fact that a hockey mom was killed outside the Newton Arena not long ago leading to massive protests questioning the lack of sufficient policing and the need for more RCMP.

Getting Around is a pretty vague term and most of our streets are okay and one can get around pretty efficiently by car except during rush hours, and we have bicycle paths. But Surrey is not well served by public trans-

portation, so once again, probably a poorly worded question led to a false result in that only 308 responded that they were not satisfied (54 per cent). If the housing question is related to price or affordability, then the result is certainly understandable, but price/affordability across the whole of Metro Vancouver is very high. To record a dissatisfaction of 213 respondents (37 per cent) is pretty unbelievable in Surrey where there is a constant housing boom and houses and apartments are occupied as soon as they are built. It would appear that there is sufficient housing, but the price may be considered too high, especially for the “unemployed” (52 per cent) and those “living in poverty” (15 per cent). Finally, if in fact 52 per cent of respondents were actually unemployed (i.e. receiving government assistance), this colours the entire Survey; therefore it does not represent the true response of the citizens of Surrey.

‘Fiscal discipline cannot come at expense of children’s futures’ ▶ BOARD OF EDUCATION SAYS PROVINCIAL UNDERFUNDING CUTS SERVICES TO KIDS SHEILA REYNOLDS

By the year 2016, provincial revenues are projected to more than double from 20012002. But while health spending is expected to rise 80 per cent during the same time period, money spent on education is set to increase only 11 per cent. And that, says the Surrey Board of Education, is a big problem. The board outlined its concerns in a letter to the Select Standing

As the board has pointed out to Victoria in the past, the growing district faces additional extra costs because building schools has not kept pace with the number of new students, leaving 6,000 kids in portables. The number of portables has increased 41 per cent in the past 12 years, costing Surrey an extra $4.3 million each year – money that would pay for about 50 extra teachers, the district says. “These teaching positions could be of extraordinary help in dealing with class size and composition,” said Wilson. The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds provincewide consultations each fall in preparation for the next provincial budget.

Among decided voters, McCallum’s support is highest among male residents (46 per cent ), people aged 18 to 34 (42 per cent ) and those aged 35 to 54 (41 per cent ), while Hepner holds the lead among women (36 per cent ) and those aged 55 and over (41 per cent ). In the race for city council, 38 per cent of Surrey residents say they are likely to give at least one of their votes to Surrey First, while 36 per cent would give at least one vote to the Safe Surrey Coalition. Three in 10 residents (31 per cent ) are likely to support independent candidates.

Delta council will have Lois Jackson as its mayor for another four years. The longtime council member will be declared elected by acclamation after no challengers came forward. First elected to council as an alderman in 1973, Jackson has said this will be her last term on council. In Surrey, seven people are vying for the mayor’s chair.

Oct. 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She entered some pleas and the matter was adjournedâ&#x20AC;Ś till Jan. 2,â&#x20AC;? prosecutor Michelle Wray confirmed. Olson had been scheduled to be tried on the charges in B.C. Supreme Court starting next month. Twenty days had been set aside for the proceedings. Just one day has been reserved for sentencing submissions. Defence counsel Craig Sicotte said Thursday the change of direction was rooted in a lack of hard evidence against his client. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is the Crown realized that they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove all the rest of them,â&#x20AC;? Sicotte said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of itâ&#x20AC;Ś they were relying on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called similar-fact evidenceâ&#x20AC;Ś to prove it was her that did a bunch of the other ones.â&#x20AC;?

Life Dog Rescue – was one of two women arrested in November 2011 in connection with the theft of a bulldog from a Coquitlam backyard. Olson told The Leader after her arrest that she had “a moral right” to take the dogs. She repeatedly told media that she took the bulldog, Samson, “because a bulldog expert advised me he was going to freeze to death.” In the months following the arrests, a plethora of additional charges – to a total of 38 – were sworn against Olson, in connection with incidents between Nov. 14, 2009 and Dec. 21, 2011 in White Rock, Surrey, Richmond and Abbotsford.

Sicotte said Olson pleaded guilty to breaking into a Chilliwack yard to try and steal a dog in March 2009; to theft, in connection with a July 2010 incident in Richmond; and to charges of break-and-enter and theft in connection with the bulldog stolen from Coquitlam in November 2011. Sicotte – who once described the volume of material in Olson’s file as similar to that accumulated in murder cases – said he is not surprised by the turn of events. “All of us are relieved,” he said. He expects the remaining 34 charges – which include fraud, theft, break and enter and “possess break-in instrument” – will be stayed. Wray deferred further Crown

comment to Neil MacKenzie, spokesman for the Criminal Justice Branch. MacKenzie said that the guilty pleas were deemed appropriate “based on the currently available evidence and the circumstances of the case.” He said Crown’s position with respect to an appropriate sentence will be put before the court in January. Sicotte would also not comment on what sentence he planned to argue for. In September 2012, Louise Reid – the Surrey woman who had been arrested with Olson in Coquitlam – received a conditional discharge, a year’s probation and an order to pay $2,500 restitution to the owner of one of the two dogs that she had pleaded guilty to stealing.

Home invasion suspects sought

▶ NEWTON ROBBERY ON SEPT. 23 BLACK PRESS

Peter Edmonds

Sean Jennings

David Nguyen

Surrey RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in providing information regarding a home invasion and shooting that occurred in Surrey on Sept. 23. At about 1:15 that morning, several males wearing Halloween masks forced their way into a home in the 7600-block of 146A Street and committed a home invasion-style robbery. As the suspects fled, they fired several shots at a neighbour, one of which struck the victim in the face. The victim of the shooting is expected to make a full recovery. Police have identified a number of suspects in this investigation. They are: Sean Jacob Lee Jennings, 27; Peter Black Edmonds, 24; David Nguyen, 23; and Jason Suriyavong, 21. Police say they are a significant threat to public safety and should be considered armed and dangerous. Members of the public are asked not to approach them. Anyone having any information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www. solvecrime.ca

Make time for recycling at home, work and on-the-go. By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)

very year in BC about one billion beverage containers are returned and recycled. What does one billion containers look like? Think instead about a mid-sized car. One billion beverage containers is the equivalent weight of 64,000 mid-sized cars. One billion containers recycled are like 64,000 cars not going to the dump. Every year. But it’s not the one billion containers that get recycled that we’re focused on, it’s the 250 million that still end up in the dump. We would love to track them down and recycle them, too. In order to accomplish that, we do a lot of research including segmenting people by their recycling behaviour. A key segment that we focus on has been identified as on-the-go discarders. They make up 18 percent of British Columbians but generate almost 40 percent of the discarded containers. On-the-go discarders are important because even people who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home, whether shopping, out for a walk, at events, or at work. They do this even though they know it’s wrong. When people are away from home they tend throw things into the first receptacle they see, and it’s usually a garbage can. That’s not

People who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home just true on the street. Think about a typical office: there is probably a blue box for paper, but what happens to beverage containers when there isn’t a recycling bin specifically for them? They probably end up in the garbage can. Obviously, then, we need to engage people in public spaces, and we do that with some success. In malls, arenas, restaurants, and nightclubs, containers generally get recycled because the large volumes justify collecting them, whether it’s the owner taking them back,

Find recycling bins and recycle everywhere.

a commercial collector picking them up, or staff taking them to make some extra money. In the outdoors, we have a program to put beverage-container collection bins next to garbage cans in urban streetscapes developed in partnership with the City of Vancouver. This urban interception program is now rolling out to Port Alberni, Agassiz, Port Moody, Kelowna, and beyond. But offices remain a challenge. Our research suggests that a significant portion of beverage containers in the trash come from small businesses and offices. A couple of containers each day in a small office doesn’t seem like much, but multiply that by over 150,000 small businesses and offices across BC and you’ll get a big number. We need to intercept people before they trash their containers, and businesses can play a role. If you own or work in a small business, put a beverage container recycling bin in your lunch room and let your staff, or the cleaning staff, take them. If you are a bigger company, call one of our mobile collectors. They will give you totes to ADVERTORIAL

collect containers and pick them up from you. Mobile collectors are listed on our website, return-it.ca. If you are in a multi-unit building, ask your landlord to create a common recycling area for all businesses – then call one of our mobile collectors to get recycling totes placed there and arrange for regular pickup. There are still 250 million beverage containers getting trashed, which is the equivalent of 16,000 cars going to the dump, every year. We are on a mission to find them, and you can help.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE RETURN-IT SYSTEM • $85 million annually in economic activity. • 173 independently-owned Return-It Depots employing almost 700 people across the province. • A network of owner-operator and commercial transporters and processors across the province who move 90,000 tons of aluminum, glass, plastic and other materials to recycling markets.

Quality and value at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights By Kerry Vital

Maple Ridge has welcomed Morningstar Homes with open arms, already making its newest single-family home project, Robertson Heights, a huge success after just a few weeks. “We recognized that today’s single-family home buyer is looking not only for quality and value, but innovation as well,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “We’ve taken the time to do our homework,

researching ideas that are fresh and new and re-creating them in a home where affordability is key.” Ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet including unfinished basements, the three- and four-bedroom homes include some pretty amazing features. Among them are vaulted ceilings, window seats and the gourmet kitchens that Morningstar is known for. “We always strive to offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “In a market where many people consider single-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

family home ownership out of reach, we’ve pleasantly surprised potential purchasers by providing not only an affordable home but one that is truly innovative with the bells and whistles you’d expect to see in a much larger home.” Morningstar held their grand opening of Robertson Heights in late September, and sold 21 homes in the first two weeks, making the neighbourhood one of the most successful yet. Calahan points out that the six furnished show homes give potential buyers the ability to look at all of their options before making the final decision on which home to buy. Robertson Heights is Morningstar’s second project in Maple Ridge. The first, The Summit at Grant Hill, is already over 50 per cent sold out after opening just two months ago. Homes at Robertson Heights start at $449,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-380-4708 or stop by the sales office at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

Stunning views are just one of the beautiful features at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands. Recreation opportunities are just minutes away, and the homes offer excellent curb appeal due to their Craftsman architecture.

Homes without compromise at Harrison Highlands By Kerry Vital

At Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, buyers won’t have to compromise on what they’re looking for in a new home. “This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “There is definitely a demand for these homes.” Harrison Highlands is just minutes from Harrison Lake, Mission, Agassiz and the Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as several other opportunities for leisure and recreation. “Sandpiper Golf Club and salmon and

sturgeon fishing are only two minutes away!” says Stone. Harrison Highlands recently celebrated its grand opening weekend, and the response was tremendous. “This is the type of project that people have been waiting for,” Stone says. There are two distinct communities at Harrison Highlands: Woodside and Briarwood. The exclusive Briarwood homes are located in a gated area, though the home types are the same for both communities within the larger community of Harrison Highlands. There are a variety of available

floorplans, including ranchers, one-and-ahalf storey plans and two-storey homes, with two to four bedrooms. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Stone says. Two-thirds of the homes at Harrison Highlands will include this feature. 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 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 infloor 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. “There’s always something to see here,” Stone says. “Just check out our views!” Future plans at Harrison Highlands include a neighbourhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants and other retail spaces. “This is a fantastic place to raise a family,” Stone says. 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 (6878439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

United wins gold medal at U18 national tourney

RICK KUPCHUK

Taking advantage of playing near home, Surrey United defeated Ajax FC of Ontario 3-1 in the championship game of the Sport Chek U18 Cup Monday at South Surrey Athletic Park. The boys soccer team went 3-1-0 (won-tiedlost) to finish atop their five-team group in pool play to qualify for the championship game. In Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, United captain Kyle Sohi fired a shot off an Ajax defender for a 1-0 lead at halftime. Sohi then assisted on a pair of second-half goals from Dilpreet Brar. Lucas Johnson was unbeatable in the Surrey goal, earning the shutout. Surrey began play with a 4-0 win Wednesday over Prince Edward Island, with Paul Atanassov scoring twice and Sohi and Amritpal Jagdeo adding one each. On Thursday, Sohi netted a pair with Atanassov finding the net once in a 3-1 victory over Quebec. Their third victory came Friday, a 2-1 victory over the Bonivital Soccer Club of Manitoba. Sohi and Bavi Dhaliwal were the goal scorers.

A scoreless tie with Alberta Saturday left United in first place, and after an off day Sunday, played for the national championship. On the girls side, host Coastal FC lost just once in five games and earned a bronze medal. Coastal FC defeated Halifax Dunbrack 2-1 in the bronze medal match, getting goals from Casandra Silveri and Danae Derksen. Their lone loss of the competition came on Wednesday, a 3-2 setback against the eventual national champion North Mississauga Panthers. Avneet Bhullar and Jenaya Robertson were the goal scorers for Coastal FC. Their second game as a 2-2 draw with Quebec on Thursday, with Derksen and Ashley Burgess getting the goals for the B.C. team. Emily Lieuwen scored twice and Burgess added one in a 3-0 win over the Winsloe-Charlottetown Royals of Prince Edward Island on Friday. Needing to fill the net to win a tiebreaker and place second in their group, Coastal FC hammered Saskatchewan 11-0 Sunday. Silveri scored four times and Brooklyn Tidder and Derksen added two each. Singles came from Burgess, Robertson and Olivia Sheppard.

KPU soccer squads all but assured of playoff positions ▶ TWO GAMES REMAIN FOR PACWEST MEN’S, WOMEN’S TEAMS RICK KUPCHUK

Both soccer teams from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) all but clinched PACWEST playoff positions Sunday at the University of British Columbia with 2-1 victories over the Langara Falcons.

For the KPU Eagles men’s team, their record improved to 5-3-5 (wontied-lost). In third place, they are four points up on both the Falcons and the Capilano Blues with two games to play. Langara and the Blues meet next week in Richmond, where a loss by either team will wrap up a playoff position for the Eagles. The win by the KPU women left them at 4-5-4,

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Consultant Marine Development

Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualiﬁed local pilots.

U U U U U U U U U

Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection.

n September 9, 2014, from Cupertino, California, Apple demonstrated its newest product the Apple Watch. It will not be available for sale until 2015. In the meantime online videos at www.apple.com/watch/ detail all the features of the ‘Watch’ except the price tag. Speculation about this abounds, though, and most of the internet chatter is about pricing. Whatever it costs, we can expect that the device will do well in the marketplace. Some commentators say the Watch is the most important product launch of the year and are already predicting sales of 30 to 50 million units in 2015. Some speculate that even the heretofore-unassailable market share of the luxury watch world may be vulnerable. Traffic safety experts were quick to speculate about another type of vulnerability resulting from an explosive uptake of the Apple Watch. Many motorists will soon have a device, the very essence of which, offers seamless and ongoing distraction from road focus via handsfree functionality. Hence, there is a question as to whether the device, which may have the greatest potential to become the most distracting of all distracting devices ever invented, has also rendered the distracted driving laws in most Canadian provinces—indeed in most of the heavily motorized jurisdictions in the world— essentially ineffective. In BC, for example, drivers caught “holding, operating, communicating or watching the screen of a handheld electronic communication device” while driving can be

fined and penalized with penalty points. No such rule, however, deters drivers from using handsfree devices. Most commentators agree that a normal wristwatch is not a handheld device and that a watch that is a miniaturized computer system strapped on your wrist would also not be ‘handheld’. Things start to get murky, however, in comparing the various ways of interacting with this computer system, which is expected to offer everything from voice-activation, a handsfree type of functionality, to swipe, tap, and press activation, a handheld type of functionality. Reportedly, simulator tests are already being designed to test the Watch to see how much of a distraction it will pose to drivers. But the answer to whether or not the ‘smart watch’ has already outsmarted our relatively new distracted driving rules (or will inevitably do so) is somewhat beside the point. Some safety advocates do not consider the handsfree exception a satisfactory resolution to the problem of crafting specific laws to deter distracted driving. They point to the many studies showing that handsfree functionality in fact offers no less of a distraction and arguably represents an even greater risk simply by instilling a false sense of security. Add to this ‘non-solution’ enshrined in law the practical problem that law enforcement continues to appear ineffective— everyone sees inconsequential daily instances of disregard for these rules—and the result is confusion and disregard for the law. In the broadest sense, the issue of distracted driving is not new. “Driving without due care and attention” has been an offence in law, since the motor car was invented. With dazzling new gadgets arriving on the market at regular intervals, the old rule still governs. Additional legislation targeting watches probably would not be useful. Pay full attention to your driving is the rule. The place to encourage safety concerns is in the driver training programs. “Pay full attention” has to be taught, rigorously. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

▶ WOMEN RALLY FOR A WIN OVER LANGARA from page 31

Kermodes (3-2-8) Saturday at 2 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park, then visit the firstplace Vancouver Island Mariners Sunday in Nanaimo. The Eagles women had to come from behind last Sunday to edge Langara. After the Falcons went up 1-0 in the 20th minute, KPU responded seven minutes later when Lexie Gillette set up Sands Secondary graduate Megan Talaber. Gillette then notched the winning goal in the second half with less than 15 minutes to play. “We are still in a playoff race. We haven’t clinched and it will come down to the last weekend,” said KPU assistant coach Joan McEachern said. “We needed to win this game today, and with the effort we put forward all 90 minutes it was a well-deserved win.” The Eagles lost Saturday 1-0 to Douglas College in Coquitlam. They will also face 3-3-7 Quest in Newton on Saturday before playing in Nanaimo Sunday. KPU will need only a draw Saturday with fifth-lace Quest to clinch a playoff spot. They will face a tougher task Sunday against the first-place Mariners (10-1-2).

ing his second of the game and Logan Webber of Surrey scoring his first. Defenceman Cole McEwan of Langley had three assists in the game. In Sunday’s rematch in Richmond, the Hawks erased a pair of one-goal deficits and were tied 2-2 after two periods. Ayre knotted the scored at 1-1 two minutes into the second period, then Malm made it 2-2 after 40 minutes. The Langley forward collected three points in his first two games of the season after an injury kept him out of the first four contests.

“Malm was certainly worth the wait,” said Leung. “He adds another dimension to our club that will give our opposition fits.” Gingras put the Hawks up 3-2 26 seconds into the third period, a lead which lasted just two minutes. Surrey defenceman Bradley Stonnell got the winning goal with 13 minutes to play, assisted by Ayre, his third helper and fourth point of the game. “Sunday was a character win for our club. We were playing catch up for most of the game and were shorthanded for half the game,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “Credit to our leadership group and special teams for weathering the storm and coming back for the win.” Gingras with seven goals and six assists, and Ayre with four goals and nine assists, are tied for third in the league scoring race with 13 points each. The Hawks will travel to Nelson this weekend for games Saturday and Sunday with the 2-4 Kootenay Ice. Their next home game is Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Langley Events Centre against the first-place Vancouver Giants.

After an early loss to the firstplace team, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers have won two in a row to climb into third place in the Eastern Conference of the B.C. High School Football Association. The Senior AAA team stopped the Centennial Centaurs 20-0 Friday night in Coquitlam, improving their record in the eight-team conference to 2-1. “Our defense allowed only a handful of first downs the entire game,” said Panthers head coach Kurt Thornton. “A great defense, strong running game and special teams were the story behind the win.” Keegan Rogers made the most of his first start of the season at defensive end, making six tackles which included four quarterback sacks. Hayden Hamilton also had a half dozen tackles with two sacks, and scored a safety. Caleb Abraham also had a safety and an interception, while Colton Zayshley had six tackles. Abraham and Zayshley led a very effective Panthers rushing attack. Abraham carried the ball 14 times for 92 yard and a touchdown, while Zayshley had 87 yards on 15 carries and one major score. He also had a 67-

BOAZ JOSEPH yard touchdown run called back on a holding penalty. “We were able to control the game with our rushing attack,” said Thornton. “Our two running backs split time at tailback as they are both a huge part of our defense and they each bring a unique look to the offensive backfield.” The Panthers will play three of their final four regular season games on the road, the first of which is Friday in Abbotsford

against the 1-2 W.J. Mouat Hawks. Q The Seaquam Seahawks earned their first win of their Senior AA schedule Saturday in Surrey, defeating the Holy Cross Crusaders 33-25. The Seahawks are 1-1 and in third place in the five-team Southern Conference. The Crusaders fell to 0-2. “I am delighted that the kids got their first win of the year,” continued on page 38

▶ YANCIW THROWS FOR FOUR TOUCHDOWNS from page 37

said Seahawks head coach Jerry Mullis. “We are still making some mistakes, which is due to the team being so young. A lot of the time, we only have one or two Grade 12 players on the field and the rest are either Grade 11s or Grade 10s.” Grade 12 quarterback Joss Yanciw threw for more than 300 yards and four touchdowns, including tosses of 30 and 82 yards to Sam Orlick. Masaki Kawanami had a 68 yard touchdown reception, and Dante Makazu hauled one in for a 78-yard score. Yanciw also ran for one touchdown. For the Crusaders, quarterback Patrick Shoemay ran for a 10-yard score, and threw for 192

yards with touchdown passes of 25 yards to Sterling Hillman and 60 yards to Marcus Browne. Browne also ran for 145 yards and a second touchdown. Cole Barron and Vikram Varpaul led the Holy Cross defense with nine tackles each. “We started of slow and were behind very early but our guys fought back and played hard,” said head coach Conrad Deugau. “We had a couple opportunities to get up on Seaquam but fell short. I was really proud that the kids never gave up. At the end of the day, that’s the most important thing. They played hard and competed until the end.” The Seahawks will travel to Burnaby Friday to play the 0-1 Moscrop Panthers, 38-6 losers

to the Hugh Boyd Trojans last week. “As far as Moscrop is concerned, they are big, physical and talented and people shouldn’t be fooled by the score in their loss to Hugh Boyd,” said Mullis. “We’ll have our work cut out to stay with them. Quarterback Abdinasir Abdi is a heck of an athlete and is a real game changer.” The Crusaders will have a bye after dropping two close games to start their regular season, but will be practicing before closing out league play on the road against Moscrop and Hugh Boyd. “We have some adjustments to make in all areas, offense, defense and special tams,” said Deugau. “The fundamentals need to be worked on. We need to continue to polish those.”

Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s configurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items. Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers. The GMC Canyon has more upscale features and a lavish cabin – something I wouldn’t have said before when it comes to midsize trucks – while the Colorado is more utilitarian in nature. No matter how you slice it, both of these trucks have impressive features. One is its quietness. Whether driving

I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well. The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus. If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695). Visit www.gm.ca for more information Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design. Inside Inside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but

the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To

appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in continued on page 42

the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all

welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel. Drive Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock offthe-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. No fuss, no problem. Not something anyone in a road-going Camry will experience but a good demonstration. Verdict What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style.

The Lowdown Power: 2.5L 187hp 4-cylinder or 3.5L V6 with 268hp Fill-up: 9.7L/6.9L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.850-$34,550.

Drives-U-Crazy Bad manners Watched a car pull out of a gas station and take off in the curb lane like an F1 racer. A car planning to turn right in the second lane was signalling a move into that curb a second before the speeding car had entered the road. The speeder laid on his horn and gave the turner the finger. Technically, the speeder may have had the right to pass on the right but it was downright bad manners.
