Brody Paterson, 20, charged 18 months after gangland shooting in mall parking lot

Murder charge laid in ‘targeted killing’ Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

An arrest has been made in relation to the 2013 gangland shooting that killed Craig Widdifield in South Surrey.

In a press conference with Surrey RCMP and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Friday afternoon, it was announced that 20-yearold Brody Robert Paterson had been arrested, and charged with first-degree murder.

Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in what police describe as a targeted shooting on April 24, 2013, in the 15700-block of Croydon Drive, at approximately 7 p.m.

Multiple 911 calls were made.

Widdifield’s body was found in a parking lot, near a toy store and coffee shop, by a walkway leading to the Steve Nash Sports Club and overhead condominiums.

At the time, police told media that

Widdifield was known to police “for this lifestyle� and that fact was re-iterated Friday. The shooting was targeted, police said, due to Widdifield’s association with those in the gang world.

Shortly after Widdifield’s death, RCMP recovered a Jeep Cherokee. Friday, IHIT Asst. Supt. Dwayne McDonald said that “valuable evidence� had been recovered from the vehicle that helped lead to Paterson’s arrest.

More arrests are expected, he added.

“Evidence has identified others that played a significant role in this murder conspiracy,� he told media Friday, adding that it is believed there are others with valuable information that have yet to come forward.

Paterson was known to police, said Surrey office-in-charge Bill Fordy, who vowed Friday that both Surrey RCMP and IHIT would continue working towards further arrests in the case. i see page 4

Child ejected as car sheared in half Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A three-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital with significant injuries Thursday evening following a collision that sheared one vehicle in half.

The crash occurred around 10:15 p.m. at 168 Street and Highway 10 in Cloverdale, when a Honda Civic southbound on 168 Street attempted to turn left onto Highway 10. It was hit by a northbound Audi A4.

Force of the impact ejected the girl – who was

in a child’s seat in the rear passenger seat of the Honda – from the vehicle.

Initially transported to the intensive-care unit in serious condition, the tot is expected to be released from hospital sometime this week. “She suffered some pretty significant injuries,� said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet.

The girl’s mother and the two occupants of the Audi were taken to hospital for minor injuries and released.

Police closed Highway 10 for several hours to investigate. Alcohol and drugs have been ruled

out as possible factors in the collision. Paquet said speed and weather conditions may have contributed.

Investigation is ongoing, and it’s believed there are witnesses who did not stop to speak with police.

Paquet urged those individuals to contact the Criminal Collision Investigation Team at 604-599-0502. “We had reports‌ that several vehicles who had to see the crash just kept driving,â€? he said. “We’d like to speak to those people.â€?

A misprint on the Surrey civic election ballots caused a nearly hour-long shutdown of advanced polls Saturday.

And it just may result in legal action against the city. “The team is seeking legal advice to see where to go,� said Mike Bose, a councillor hopeful and one of two One Surrey candidates whose electoral affiliations were not initially included on the ballots.

Maz Artang was also affected.

Bose said he and two others on the team discovered the error just after 9 a.m. Saturday, while voting in Cloverdale. The polls opened at 8 a.m.

While the mistake was discovered in the first two hours, Bose said voting wasn’t suspended until after noon.

An estimated 200 votes were cast in that time.

The polls remained open for an additional 55 minutes to make up for time lost while the ballots were reprinted. i see page 4

Surrey man charged in murder

Deepak Chahal murder victim

A man has been arrested and charged in relation to a homicide in Surrey earlier this year.

Early on June 19, Mounties and paramedics were called to the 13100-block of 65B Avenue on a report of a man being stabbed.

Mandepaak “Deepak” Chahal, 22 of Surrey, was taken to hospital where he died.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation.

This week, a man was charged in connection with Chahal’s death.

Surrey’s Sukhpreet “Jesse” Shergill, 20, was charged Wednesday with manslaughter.

“We would like to extend our condolences once again to Deepak’s family and thank both the Surrey RCMP and the community of Newton for assisting us in this investigation,” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of IHIT. – Kevin Diakiw

She was taken to hospital with critical injuries and died on Oct. 28.

The 24-year-old Surrey driver was not injured and remained at the scene.

Alcohol and drugs have been ruled out as contributing factors in this collision, however, police are still investigating.

Civic voters pose questions

Topics run the gamut at Surrey forum Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

From proposed NBA teams to safeinjection sites, no topic was off limits at Wednesday night’s forum featuring Surrey’s council candidates.

Hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, and mediated by radio personality Travis Goodman, councillor candidates were given the opportunity to respond to questions posed by a panel of experts and the crowd of more than 100 on topics including taxes, crime, homelessness and transit.

Surrey’s seven mayoral candidates were not part of proceedings, as SBOT and South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce will cohost them at the same location on Nov. 4 at noon.

Each councillor candidate received 10 opportunities – in the form of blue slips – to respond to questions. Only five candidates could answer each question, and only one member from each slate.

In response to many of the questions, candidates answered by pulling straight from their platforms, with some, after their 90-second response times were up, referring to their websites.

One hot-button issue included a question – asked twice from the audience – that focused on a two-year property tax “freeze” proposed by the Safe Surrey Coalition and the One Surrey Coalition.

Retired firefighter Mike Starchuk (Surrey First) pointed out that his team was not one of the slates that promised a tax freeze.

“If I want to go back 15 years ago when somebody froze taxes, I can tell you about the scariest job I ever had,” he said. “When we go into a building when everyone is running out, we look pretty stupid, but really, when you’re running inside a building with less people than you need, that’s retarded.”

Starchuk’s comment was rebuked minutes later by real-estate agent Stephen Gammer (TeamSurrey), who noted the term “retarded” is insensitive.

In response to a question about economic-development strategies, independent candidate Touraj GhanbarZadeh elicited murmurs by noting the city lacks attractions.

“We’re not on the world map, because we don’t really have anything to offer the world,” he said, noting that Surrey residents travel out of the city for attractionss including the PNE, the Vancouver Aquarium and zoo in Aldergrove.

Ghanbar-Zadeh said his ring an three-part strategy would be to bring international airport to Surrey, as well as a professional NBA team and a Disneystyle theme park along the Fraser River.

Several candidates focused on improving life in Surrey for residents.

Of the candidates who responded to an audience member’s question on bringing a safe-injection site to Surrey, real-estate agent Cliff Blair (independent) was the only one to speak out against the facility.

“There is no such thing as a safeinjection site. You can’t be putting these chemicals in your body safely,” he said, with people in the audience voicing disapproval. “Bottom line is any drug addict who has overcome the desire to do drugs has done it with absolute abstinence.

You cannot wean yourself off that. i see page 7

White Rock civic candidates – including 17 for councillor and two for mayor – address the crowd via a travelling handheld microphone.

‘Important’ issues ruled inadmissible at city’s only all-candidates forum

Frustrations air at W.R. debate Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

White Rock residents and business owners who packed Thursday’s all-candidates meeting got answers to just three questions over the two hours.

But first, in a lengthy preamble by moderator Gary Hollick, they heard why many of their submitted concerns wouldn’t be addressed.

“No disrespect – a lot of your questions are very valid… but they don’t actually apply to these people,” Hollick told the standing-roomonly crowd, citing health care, education and the much-discussed railway as among topics that fall under provincial or federal jurisdiction and, therefore, wouldn’t be covered.

While successful municipal hopefuls “become your advocates, become your voice… I had to take some of the questions away because they’re really not that relevant, though they are extremely important to this community,” he said.

Both mayoral candidates and all 17 who are vying for councillor seats in the seaside city turned out to the meeting, which was held at the White Rock Community Centre and co-hosted by the White Rock BIA and the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce.

Wh Following 40 minutes of candidate Fo introductions – during which sevintr eral raised railway-relocation, rail safety and some health-care issues safe – an and prior to 20 minutes of closing statements, Hollick put questions around statements development, infrastructure and the Official Community Plan, which he compiled from resident submissions, on the table.

The evening went sideways part way in, when some residents voiced disapproval of the way Hollick was interpreting submissions.

As well, later in the evening, mayoral challenger David Bradshaw wanted a second opportunity to address infrastructure and taxes, grabbing the microphone from BIA executive director Douglas Smith as it was being passed to Sheila Hunter-Tubic.

Initially, however, the questions and answers began somewhat more traditionally.

Asked what the future holds for White Rock in terms of development, mayoral incumbent Wayne Baldwin cited a number of approved, but unfinished, projects – including Miramar Village, the Saltaire and Avra – and said he

Resident Andrew Schulz (left) criticizes preambles delivered by moderator Gary Hollick. doesn’t see much new development happening “in the next couple of years.”

“Every development should match what is contained in the OCP,” he added.

Bradshaw – who has been at odds with city officials for more than a year over a development going up in front of his Victoria Avenue home – disagreed that such activity in White Rock is limited.

“Depends on where you live,” Bradshaw said. “There’s a hell of a lot of construction happening in East Beach.”

Rather than paint a picture of the city’s future, Bradshaw told attendees he is “here to implement what you people want.”

“I hate highrises,” he said, to applause, noting he left three other Metro Vancouver cities to escape highrises. “I think they destroy communities, they destroy community spirit.”

Councillor candidates also spoke to the issue.

Incumbent Bill Lawrence said development is “definitely not a dirty word,” but whatever comes needs to be smart and not take away from White Rock’s charm.

David Chesney – who later repeatedly noted he came “this close” to winning a seat in the last two elections – advised attendees to “be very careful of some of the things being said here tonight.” He said input collected during an earlier council’s design charette on the town centre – where he believes development should be restricted to – has been ignored.

Doug Hart, reading from prepared notes, also supported keeping development uptown, with the OCP as the benchmark.

Pattie Petrala and Lynne Sinclair both expressed disappointment that energies put into an affordable-housing strategy have been

stagnant. Petrala favours preserving rental stock, and an integrated-housing policy that includes floors or units reserved for people with special needs; Sinclair said that while change is inevitable, “it’s a matter of, is the change going to be positive for White Rock?”

Incumbent Helen Fathers said 99 per cent of people she speaks with on the street are not happy with development in White Rock, and the next council has “to make sure we’re not retrofitting the ideas of the council of the day.”

For Cary van Zanten, the key is to build for the future, “but we’re going to do it properly.”

Woods, a former city councillor, criticized the public process as dismissive of residents.

While many have stood in city hall to speak against various projects, “all of a sudden it goes through because they’ve got four (council) votes,” she said.

The proceedings were interrupted an hour in, when attendees took issue with Hollick’s presentation of a question around taxes and infrastructure, which began with a preamble.

“You’re skewing the debate,” said Andrew Schulz, cutting off Hollick, past-president of the chamber and publisher of the Surrey Now. A woman who chimed in – telling Hollick he was “not a teacher” and “these are closed questions” – was admonished by the moderator.

“Excuse me, ma’am, you’re not part of this program,” Hollick said.

When the dust settled, Bradshaw said he would not be against a referendum on whether White Rock should join Surrey; and, that White Rock should consider a new tax on absentee owners – a suggestion incumbent Grant Meyer later supported. i see page 7

McDonald noted that it is a common misconception that police will not be able to bring high-profile cases, like Widdifield’s, to the charges stage.

In the days following his son’s death, Widdifield’s father, Jim, spoke to Peace Arch News about how his son had been characterized as a gangster.

“He made some mistakes in his life – mistakes in judgment – and paid for them,” Jim said at the time.

“I’m not saying he was an angel, but he was not how he’s been portrayed at all.”

He did say the tunnel option “would be the shortest.�

Bennett told council the financial plan for relocation should look at operating and maintenance costs over 15 years – again, with no loss or gain to BNSF. Another advantage the city has in its argument for relocation, she said, is that the Canadian Transportation Agency – the body that would ultimately make the order to relocate the line – considers municipal staff the best people to be involved in project management, given their experience working with industry and other levels of government.

Regarding timelines, Bennett referred to a rail relocation in Regina. Involving two unwilling railways and the six-kilometre move of a “huge� rail yard, the “very complicated� effort took five years from the first meeting to the CTA order, she said. “I do not anticipate this project would be at all in that nature,� she said.

Surrey RCMP statistics released

Crime up, violence down Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Total crime is up in Surrey, while violent crime is down slightly so far this year in the city, compared to the first three quarters of 2013.

While violent crime is down two per cent, property crime and other Criminal Code offences have shot up, according to statistics released on Friday.

It results in a 21 per cent increase in total Criminal Code offences so far this year when compared to the first nine months of 2013.

The Surrey RCMP third-quarter statistics released Friday afternoon show which offences are more prevalent and which are diminishing.

Murder is down 33 per cent and robbery is down 11 per cent.

However, attempted murder is up 175 per cent and abduction and

kidnapping up 25 per cent.

Combined, it reflects a two per cent decline from the first three quarters of last year.

Property crime, however, is up 27-percent from the first three quarters of last year.

Some of the big increases so far this year are fraud (up 67 per cent), theft of motor vehicled (57 per cent), stolen property (42 per cent), theft from motor vehicles (36 per cent) and identity theft (26 per cent).

Other Criminal Code offences were also up 19 per cent, including causing a disturbance (25 per cent) bail violations (14 per cent) and possession of offensive weapons, which was up 13 per cent.

There were more marijuana possession cases so far this year as well, with Mounties

seeing a nine per cent increase from the first three quarters of last year. Marijuana production and cocaine possession were both down significantly (52 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively).

The level of property crime increase has been the most surprising in this quarter’s statistics.

Police say it’s partly in keeping with increases among other Lower Mainland municipalities this year.

and threats, which plunged by 40 per cent from 10 years ago.

Total number of Criminal Code offences reduced by only 11.7 per cent in Surrey while other major cities at least doubled that reduction.

The second-poorest performer among major cities in B.C. was Kelowna, which cut its Criminal Code offences by only 16.2 per cent.

Burnaby and Abbotsford cut Criminal Code offences by half. Delta and Langley Township cut theirs by 25 per cent.

The B.C. average was 32.6 per cent.

Surrey also performed poorly in property crime, cutting it by only 16.2 per cent, less than half the provincial average of 39.9 per cent.

Surrey’s reduction in property crime was far below that of other major cities which ranged from 28.9 per cent (Delta) to 55.7 per cent (Abbotsford).

Surrey slower to change Surrey is faring much better in beating down violent crime in the last 10 years.

However, the overall crime rate and the level of property crime is dropping the slowest in the region.

Figures released by the B.C. Ministry of Justice show the number of crimes in all cities throughout the province from 2004 to 2013.

Surrey is doing much better than it had in the 2003-2012 snapshot at hammering down violent crime, reducing it by 25.5 per cent. The previous 10-year trend showed Surrey had a 10-per-cent increase, despite it dropping in other large B.C. cities.

Figures released by the RCMP last week indicate there have been increases in the number of murders, firearms offences and robbery, but the vast majority of others have dropped significantly. Those include assaults, which dropped by 30 per cent and criminal harassment

In addition, Surrey launched a campaign called “Observe it, Report it” encouraging people to report property crime, which resulted in more cases being handled by the RCMP. Mounties say a companion “Protect it, Lock it” campaign is aimed at reducing the amount of theft.

Crime has been identified as the number-one issue heading into this fall’s election.

Transit plans top of mind in Surrey i from page 3 “I’m not at all in favour of safedrug sites, certainly not in my backyard.”

On the thread of crime and justice, candidates spoke favourably about creating a Surrey community court for repeat offenders.

Former VPD officer Kal Dosanj (One Surrey) noted the community court is an “essential component” to decreasing crime, along with community safety officers and adopting a “no call is too small” program in the city.

He noted that when a community court was introduced in the Downtown Eastside, it was an “immediate and effective plan.”

On the topic of transit, candidates agreed Surrey needs more accessibility and increased

Surrey councillor candidates take turns at the podium. service, with Rina Gill (Safe Surrey) noting that her slate has a “comprehensive, multi-faceted five-point plan” that includes funding for Light Rail Transit (LRT) and increased community shuttle buses.

Incumbent Barbara Steele (Surrey First) noted that LRT is the plan for Surrey, with plans already in motion after

consulting with the province and federal government.

“Surrey is next,” she said.

The 2½-hour forum also focused on density, Surrey Fraser Docks, coal trains, homelessness and affordable housing, among other topics.

Surrey voters cast their ballots for mayor, eight councillors and six school trustees on Nov. 15.

White Rock infrastructure disputed i from page 3 Baldwin, however, said he’d had staff investigate such a tax, and it can’t be done “It would be nice, but it’s not going to happen,” he said.

Baldwin said that while White Rock has one-quarter of the average commercial/industrial tax base in Vancouver, the city’s infrastructure is in “very, very good shape,” and spending is below average.

Regarding the future for the OCP, Baldwin said “not much” will change in the document’s upcoming review. Areas where the guidelines need refining are west of Martin Drive, and along North Bluff Road and Finlay Street.

Bradshaw said he was going to use his response time regarding the OCP question to speak about

infrastructure – a response he directed to incumbent councillor Al Campbell, who’d earlier described the city’s debt-free state as “pretty impressive” and noted its infrastructure is in good shape.

“I’m relieved, Al, that the infrastructure is in good shape,” Bradshaw said. “You’re the one that told me it wasn’t.”

Regarding the OCP, Bradshaw said “you have to follow the damn thing” – something that hasn’t been happening, he said.

“I want to clean everything up… and I want you people to tell me what you want,” he said.

The election takes place Nov. 15.

Advance-voting opportunities in White Rock are set for Nov. 5, 6 and 12, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre.

Let them speak

T

he moderation of last week’s allcandidates meeting in White Rock became – unfortunately – more than a little immoderate when discussion topics were proscribed even before the meeting began.

While Gary Hollick, past-president of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, can’t be faulted on his public-spirit for generously giving his time to moderate the debate, he overstepped the mark when he took it upon himself to actively shape the discussion.

While it is always a challenge to keep an allcandidates meeting moving along, we must remember that such events must also serve as an exercise in democracy. And, yes, often that means a few foolish questions along the way; perhaps, we’ll venture, even a few foolish answers.

Even such flawed exchanges can be revealing of the issues that residents are passionate about – and tell a lot, too, about the qualities of the putative or returning politician, and his or her ability to field brickbats and stay on-topic.

But in the meeting in question – co-presented Thursday evening by the chamber and the White Rock BIA – Hollick presumed to paraphrase previously submitted questions, excluding some issues he felt were beyond the control of civic politicians. This included, perhaps most notably, any questions about rail-relocation and rail safety, even though the topics had been mentioned in several of the candidates’ own introductions.

Hollick may believe that rail-relocation and safety are beyond the purview of city politicians, but this must come as a surprise to incumbents in both White Rock and Surrey, who have already invested time and efforts in the evident belief that a council should – and does – have a say on rail traffic, particularly along their waterfronts.

To arbitrarily limit the scope of discussion to what became just three issues – development, infrastructure and the OCP – may have seemed logical to the moderator, but it was not likely to satisfy either the candidates or the public who came to hear them.

In fact, such a heavy-handed approach – and lengthy preambles lecturing attendees, for precious minutes, on the purpose of civic government and the meaning of submitted questions – seemed almost guaranteed to send the meeting sideways.

While subsequent interruptions were certainly a little boorish and uncomfortable, it would be safe to assume the interruptees were right: attendees were there to hear the candidates, not the hosts.

We must be careful – particularly in the crucial pre-election period – that an understandable desire to run a tidy meeting does not abrogate the process of democracy in any city.

Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham.

As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse-gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate.

CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented.

A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNGrelated emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture.

Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse-gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund.

If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Acceptance a better morality Editor: Re: ‘Family group’ targets pro-gay policy, Oct. 23; ’Sickened’ by attack on school policy, Oct. 28.

I’m disappointed with this newspaper. Giving space to bigoted opinions – not in letters to the editor or classified ads, but in its headlines – suggests that those opinions have credence.

I’m a teacher who’s used to saying to students that everyone’s opinions are valid – but when those opinions are hateful, hurtful and prejudiced, I must take a different stance.

Not all things done in the name of Christianity or tradition in Canada have been morally upstanding, so we should learn from our mistakes, and we should know better than to let “tradition” be used as a tin disguise for intolerance.

It shouldn’t be just brave Nicole Joliet who speaks up; it should be everyone, Christian or not, gay or not, questioning or not, member of the majority or not, who speaks up for what is right and good and inclusive, and speaks loudly enough to have our voices overpower those such as the BC Parents and Teachers for Life, whose appeals would have us travel back in time to a shameful, discriminatory past.

I’m proud to live in an inclusive and tolerant Canadian society, and I’m hopeful about the future for my children – whomever they might love – and for the students I teach.

And I’m proud to teach in a school district that is making amends for some past wrongs done in the name of tradition.

Maret Rehnby, White Rock Q Re: Schooled on sexual orientation, Oct. 28 letters.

I’d like to correct letter-writer John Bootsma’s attempt to correct your headline. He’s right that the headline, “‘Family group’ targets progay policy,” was wrong, but he failed to correct it with his suggestion.

The headline should have read “‘Family group’ targets ‘pro-gay’ policy,” because this so-called ‘family group’ recognizes only one kind of family — one that consists of a mother, father and children.

They don’t acknowledge that families come in all shapes and sizes — always have and always will.

There are families with one parent with children. There are families with two male adults and some kids, and those with two female adults and some kids. There are families with kids from previous marriages. There are families with two adults and no children.

As well, there should also be quotation marks around “pro-gay,” because the school district’s policy doesn’t promote homosexuality – it simply acknowledges it and accepts it as a fact of life, and nothing that anyone should be bullied for.

Jerry Steinberg, Surrey Q In response to John Bootsma’s letter criticizing Peace Arch News’ headline, I would just like to point out the use of quotations in “‘family group’

targets pro-gay policy,” is obviously meant to be ironic.

Indeed, it is extremely ironic when a self described “pro-life, profamily” organization belittles the rights of others, especially children in their community. Every person should have the right to their own beliefs, but when those beliefs are allowed to tread on the human rights of others, not only is it an abomination of human rights in general, it can be very dangerous.

Do you have any idea how many children have taken their lives due to being bullied because of their sexual orientation? What about those who were beaten to death by other children whose parents taught them that it’s not OK to be gay? What about 60 years ago, when it wasn’t OK to be a person of colour?

To answer the letter writer’s question about how a teenage boy could even know what his sexual orientation is: plenty of boys know

what they are into by the age of 13, most definitely by 16. And unless they live under a rock, in today’s hyper-sexualized world, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that most boys have even watched pornography and know which gender they are most attracted to by the age of 10.

Brytani Dean, White Rock Editor’s note: The phrase “family group” was in quotes to indicate that is how BC Parents and Teachers for Life describes itself.

The smaller buses do not have the capacity to take many passengers with special requirements. Even the larger buses can be stretched beyond their capabilities.a A. Helps

Tracy Holmes photo

Letter writers suggest full-sized buses on residential streets, such as Thrift Avenue, outweigh the alternatives.

Residents fare better with buses Editor: Re: Debate grows over long buses, Oct. 23 letters.

I am writing to offer some thoughts regarding the frankly shocking letters agreeing with Coun. Louise Hutchinson about large buses in White Rock (White Rock ‘no place for big buses,’ Oct. 16).

High-school students, university students, tourists, seniors and other citizens – who have neither the means nor the money to drive – rely on this bus. What is unfortunately obvious is that those clamouring to get the 351 out of White Rock are free from such limitations.

What is more, opposition to the presence of the 351 in White Rock is selfish and shortsighted. Not only do they offer no alternative for those that need the 351, but they also demonstrate a worrying lack of understanding of the consequences of moving it out of White Rock.

The 351, leaving as often as every 15 minutes, is often so full that people are left behind and must wait for the next one. Even if only a third or a half begin to drive instead, how much more congested would our streets be with this many more cars? How much more pollution would these cars put into the air?

In short, such condemnation of public transit in South Surrey and White Rock demonstrates not only shocking privilege and lack of social awareness, but also selfishness. The fact is these buses are necessary, but Hutchinson and her supporters will only complain about the congestion and pollution that affects them. Some even go as far as to use hyperbole and misinformation – one letter that describes the sound of the buses as “jet planes,” and living on Thrift Avenue as comparable to “huff(ing) diesel smoke” comes immediately to mind.

Perhaps a trip on the bus would do them some good.

Angus McWalter, Surrey Q Letter-writer Susan Ellis says: “We do need these buses.

I use the 351 bus to get to Vancouver – it is easier and less polluting than driving.” I agree completely.

I also need the 351. It seats at least 45 persons. Would Coun. Louise Hutchinson like to stand near 152 Street and observe one “great, big, long” bus go by; or watch and wait while 45 cars drive by?

I’m presuming Hutchinson drives a car. I challenge her to give up driving her car for six months. Start right now, in the rainy season.

Without a car, and needing to stand outside in the rain and fresh air at the bus stop with her trusty umbrella, she will be happy to see a bus approaching. Hopping into the warm, cozy bus, she will meet a friendly professional driver who will provide her with a safe and reliable trip to her destination. Then, when she becomes a bus rider, she will discover a ‘whole new world’ of public transit; and will be more able to understand why we need buses.

Marge Lightfoot, Surrey

Q Those who complain about the negative impact of buses on the community are invariably those who never take a bus trip. Many people, however, rely on buses.

To mention some, we are: students; people in wheelchairs; people using walkers; people with luggage, going to or from the airport; people with grocery carts; seniors; bicyclists; regular or shift workers; parents with children, some in strollers; non-locals attending events in our community; people concerned about the impact on the environment; and people who can’t afford a vehicle.

The smaller buses do not have the capacity to take many passengers with special requirements. Even the larger buses can be stretched beyond their capabilities. It is not unusual on the route between Crescent Beach and White Rock to have allocated seating areas occupied.

With regard to M. Holloway’s letter to the editor: The onus is on potential residents to fully research the area in which they wish to live. Thrift Avenue is a heavily-used, central east-west core route carrying many kinds of vehicular traffic all through the day and night.

I, too, live on Thrift Avenue, with a bus stop across the street, another one half a block away and the endof-line stop for the non-351 buses a block away. The sound of traffic is one of the sounds of city life.

Simply because Thrift is not a business corridor does not mean residents living on or near it do not need the buses. There are numerous multi-unit buildings with a higher density of population requiring bus service.

South of Thrift are even more multi-unit buildings.

Those who live on that steep hill have already spent significant effort getting to Thrift. Moving the route farther away would cause additional problems for us.

A. Helps, White Rock

Noise, pollution, vibration Thank you, letter-writer M. Hollaway and Coun. Louise Hutchinson, for your comments regarding the buses in White Rock. I totally agree with what you have said.

I also live on Thrift and Blackwood, and have the same issues with the noise coming from the air brakes and engine acceleration, pollution in the form of black diesel smoke and vibration on the condo.

We have always had the 351 running along Thrift with no problem, but the issues for me have started since the Surrey buses were moved onto Thrift. These buses are usually empty and speed down Thrift.

I feel that we live at a bus depot, with the amount of buses going by every five to 10 minutes, all day long!

As you say, this is purely residential and these buses have no place running in this area. Its becoming a health issue for people living on Thrift and Oxford.

Conquering Everest will be the high of a lifetime

Peak performance to benefit children Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

T

revor Johnson left Saturday for the climb of a lifetime – one the 48-year-old has dreamed of doing for more than two decades.

But while reaching the summit of Mount Everest – the earth’s highest peak – will be a momentous high, the White Rock father said the thrill of scratching the personal goal off of his to-do list is just part of what’s driving him.

The real heart of his motivation is the desire to help sick and injured kids.

“It’s not about me, it’s about raising money for the kids.”

Johnson, a battalion chief with the Richmond fire department – is one of 20 climbers who flew to Nepal for the Summits of Hope trek. The nonprofit association raises funds for BC Children’s Hospital, and this year, Johnson has earmarked donations from his effort to the facility’s burn unit.

So far, he’s collected about $6,000 for the cause. He’s aiming for $20,300 – equal to altitude he will reach, if all goes well.

The ascent, set to get underway today (Tuesday), marks Johnson’s second big climb with Summits of Hope.

The first, to Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro in 2007, was inspired by the “amazing” care received at BCCH by longtime friend Peter Hunter’s infant daughter. (This time, Hunter is making the trek, too.)

Johnson remembers clearly the day he had doubts he would survive it.

It was on the way down from the summit, the top 1,000 feet, and he was leading the group, creating a slide to ease the 30-degree descent for the

sherpas and his fellow climbers.

“I over-exerted myself,” he said. “About an hour later, I fell into kind of a shock situation… (developed) an incredible feeling of being cold right through my core.

“I couldn’t eat, struggled to lift my head off the pillow.

“I thought at that point, there was a pretty good chance I might not make it.”

Surprisingly, hours later, Johnson was as good as new.

“I felt 100 per cent. As quickly as it came, it went.”

Despite that experience, and despite heading to Everest just weeks after a violent storm killed more than three dozen trekkers, Johnson is not hesitant.

That tragedy occurred far from where his group will be and was the result of a “one-in-1,000-year storm,” he said.

“What could be better than climbing to the highest peak in the world?”

Johnson’s wife, Caroline, said she is less-inclined to reach such heights, but understands it is her husband’s passion.

She described him as someone who “takes pleasure in the worst conditions.”

“The things I love about him are also the things that worry me about him,” she said.

As a fundraiser, Johnson is carrying prayer flags to the peak, each bearing messages of support or hope. He’s also been given 20 soccer balls by Coastal FC which will be distributed to children along the way.

Those interested in following the progress may track the trek at summitsofhope.com, where live updates via a satellite phone will be posted daily.

IT’S ALL RIGHT HERE IN

Bates remembered at that time that he “saw red” in 1976 when he heard that the iconic pier (now a designated heritage site) was due to be demolished when the federal Department of Transportation decided it would no longer be responsible for repair and upkeep of unused piers.

Through an old Second World War navy crony, he was able to pull strings and have the pier signed over to the city, and was able to arrange a first round of repairs to the structure through a federal youth employment program.

Bates – who became a widower in 2007 – retained a huge circle of friends, Margo said.

“So many people have told me ‘Art always remembered your name... and always remembered something about you,’” she said.

“One of the last things he said to me is ‘I have no regrets.’”

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Losing streak reaches four games

Hawks’ losses mount Rick Kupchuk Black Press

Following a winless weekend against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds, the Valley West Hawks have now gone four games without a win.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League team played to a 3-3 draw with the Thunderbirds Saturday in Abbotsford, then dropped a 4-2 decision in a rematch Sunday at the Langley Events Centre.

But perhaps the biggest loss of the young season came midway through last week, when the team was informed Luke Gingras would be staying in Saskatoon to play for the Western Hockey League’s Blades.

“It happens, players get called up all the time,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung on the loss of his team captain and leading scorer. “It’s a great opportunity for him.

“The timing is unfortunate, he was one of the best players in our league.”

Gingras was called up to the Blades for two games late last month. After playing in his first pair of Major Junior games, the Langley resident learned his short stint in Saskatoon had become permanent.

The Hawks went into last weekend’s series with the Thunderbirds missing their top-line centre who had scored eight goals and added 12 assists in eight games.

But for close to 55 minutes, they appeared to be on the verge of winning their first game without him. Leading 3-1, the Hawks surrendered a pair of goals in a 90-second i see page 20

Surrey’s skid stretches to five games after back-to-back shutout losses

Eagles fall flat against Penticton Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

To suggest the Penticton Vees have the Surrey Eagles’ number this season might be something of an understatement.

The two squads met on the BC Hockey League’s season-opening weekend back in September, with the Vees walloping the Birds 11-2, and that dominance continued last weekend.

At Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre on Halloween, the Eagles put forth a ghouls performance against the home team, losing 10-0, and in Saturday’s return engagement – this time at South Surrey Arena – the Vees again got the best of the struggling Eagles, winning 11-0.

The 21-0 goal differential was the team’s worst stretch of the season, and, coupled with losses on the two prior weekends, the team has now lost five straight. The last win came Oct.

19, when they edged the Coquitlam Express in overtime.

The losing skid has dropped Surrey to the bottom of the BCHL’s Mainland Division, with a record of 3-10-0-3.

In Friday’s loss, the second period was the Eagles’ undoing.

The Vees – who are the league’s top team, and have lost just once all season – scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, with the first goal coming off the stick of former Eagle Demico Hannoun, but blew the game wide open in the middle stanza, with six unanswered goals, including three on the power play.

Rookie netminder Daniel Davidson was left in net for the entire game, stopping 33 shots amid the Vee’s 10-goal outburst.

Hannoun had two goals for Penticton, and three players – Riley Alred, Lewis ZerterGossage and Matthew Serratore – had threepoint nights.

A day later at home, the Vee’s same cast of characters sunk the young Eagles. Alfred, Cam Amantea – who had a hat-trick– Connor Russell and Jack Ramsey all had three points in the lopsided win, and Hannoun also scored his third goal of the weekend.

Davidson again was between the pipes for Surrey, though he was eventually relieved by backup Kurt Russell. Usual starter, 19-yearold Christian Short – who has led the league in shots-faced by a wide margin – did not dress for the second game. It was unclear if his absence was injury-related, and head coach Blaine Neufeld could not be reached by press deadline Monday afternoon.

The Eagles will try to stop the bleeding this weekend when they play a two-game home-and-home series against the Coquitlam Express. On Friday, the two clubs face off in Coquitlam, and Saturday hit the ice at South Surrey Arena. Puck drop is 7:11 p.m.

Valley West prepare for Okanagan road trip this weekend i from page 19 span, the second of which tied the game 3-3 with four minutes to play. “Saturday was a tough one, I think we deserved a better fate,� said Leung. “Fraser Valley capitalized on the few chances we gave them and they managed to tie the game late.�

James Malm of Langley, Tyson Talhan of Surrey and Cloverdale’s Daniel Chifan tallied

for Valley West. White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis added two assists.

Sunday in Langley, Malm and Langley’s Christian Bosa tallied

for the home side, each goal pulling the Hawks even with Fraser Valley.

The Thunderbirds netted a pair of unanswered goals in the third period for the

win.

The Hawks played Sunday’s game without Jeffrey Stewart, their leading goal scorer with 10 in 11 games played.

The Semiahmoo

minor hockey product was injured in Saturday’s contest. “Our team is in a bit of a funk. Players are gripping their sticks a little tighter and over

analyzing what they’re doing,� said Leung. “We’re needing to redefine ourselves in light of Gingras’ recall to Saskatoon.�

The Hawks, who have

slipped to seventh place in the 11-team league at 6-5-1 (won-lost-tied) travel to Kelowna to play the third-place Okanagan Rockets next weekend.

WHITTAKER, John Francis The family of John Francis Whittaker is sad to announce his passing on October 27, 2014 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. at the age of 91. Predeceased by his wife June, he is survived by his sister Elizabeth of Vancouver; brother Donald (Lorraine) of Calgary; son David (Eva) of Ottawa and his stepdaughters Olga and Aurela; son Murray (Cathy ) of Markham, Ontario, and their sons Derek (Joanna) and Kurt; his daughter Elizabeth of Winnipeg and her sons Jeffrey, John and Kevin Doering; and good friend Margaret Hayes.

Born in Winnipeg and moved to Calgary at the age of 14, John distinguished himself as the top high school graduate from Alberta. After his third year of chemical engineering at McGill, he joined the RCAF during WWII and completed training as a fighter pilot. The war ended before he saw action overseas and he changed courses, completing a degree in engineering physics at U of T. John met and married June in 1947 and together they raised their three children in Pointe Claire, PQ, and later Mississauga. John’s career spanned over thirty years with Nortel.

John and June retired to Vancouver and after June’s passing in 1986, John became an avid birdwatcher and hiker, travelling all over the world to see the rarest and most spectacular birds. A keen tennis player into his late 80’s, John was rare and brilliant, much like the birds he loved.

With a quick wit and a genius for math, he was determined, stoic and lived according to his own code. He will be missed terribly by his family and friends.

A memorial will be held at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660-72 Ave, Surrey, B.C. at 10am Sunday, November 9th, (www.valleyviewsurrey.ca) The family would like to thank the ACE Unit at the Peace Arch Hospital for their care of John in his final months. If friends so wish, they may make a donation in John’s name to the BC Nature directed to Important Bird Areas, 1620 Mount Seymour Road, North Vancouver, B.C. V7G 2R9 (www.bcnature.ca)
