Overcrowding and high costs lambasted by housing advocates

‘Crisis’ for White Rock, Surrey renters Jeff Nagel Black Press

Housing advocates say Metro Vancouver renters – including those in White Rock and Surrey – are battling a crisis of affordability, with many paying more than they can afford for a roof over their heads. The B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association has unveiled a new rental-housing index website at www.bcnpha.ca/rhi that includes

an interactive map showing rental data for each community. The index finds Surrey and White Rock are the worst cities in the region for rental overcrowding, followed by Burnaby and Coquitlam. Nearly half of renters in several Metro municipalities are spending more than the maximum recommended 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, according to the association’s findings.

And at least one in four renters pays more than half their income to rent in White Rock, Langley City, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Vancouver and West Vancouver – cities where rent overspending is flagged as “critical.” Association executive director Tony Roy said the overspending by many rental households puts them at risk of financial crisis. “Many know their rent is too high but feel

like they don’t have a choice but to pay up,” Roy said. “We’re not building more rental housing, so renters are forced to overspend in crowded or deteriorated conditions, or they become homeless.” He argued it’s cheaper to invest in affordable housing now than face higher health and justice costs stemming from homelessness later on. i see page 4

We weren’t disappointed. Above is a fittingly picturesque sampling of their efforts, which illustrate unique perspectives of the popular landmark at all hours of the day.

The LRT lines, of course, will take longer to build. SkyTrain advocates oppose LRT, saying it will not be a great deal faster than driving a car. They are correct, but if LRT is used for trips within Surrey, speed isn’t really the issue. SkyTrain is not used for trips within Surrey, except by a very few people. LRT, on the other hand, would be and would take a significant number of cars off the road. Study after study shows that most trips within Surrey involve driving, because of inadequate transit. LRT has the potential to change that. Hepner and her Surrey First teammates on council have a lot of work to do in the next four years. Q In White Rock, it was no surprise that Mayor Wayne Baldwin won another term. The new council looks a little different, with the White Rock Coalition slate holding four seats and the balance of power. The slate consists of incumbents Bill Lawrence and Grant Meyer, former councillor Lynne Sinclair and newcomer Megan Knight. The council will definitely be colourful, with long-time council watcher and White Rock activist David Chesney elected in his sixth try for office.

Election success comes after 10 years of being a White Rock political observer

‘I’m as grassroots as you can imagine’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

One of White Rock’s two fledgling councillors says he has “no illusions” that the position he won Saturday night simply means he has to be at city hall every other Monday. “It is a lot of work” to be on council, David Chesney acknowledged Wednesday. “I know I’m up for it.” Chesney and Megan Knight will make their first official appearance as city representatives on Dec. 1, at the inaugural meeting of the new council. They’ll join mayor-elect Wayne Baldwin, returning councillors Helen Fathers, Grant Meyer and Bill Lawrence and former councillor Lynne Sinclair. Reached by email Tuesday, Knight said she was out of town and unavailable for interview. For Chesney, 63, the moment is a long-

awaited one. He was first spurred to pay more attention to city business 10 years ago, by the unexpected announcement that the city’s iconic Whaling Wall would be torn down to make way for what is now Miramar Village. “That was virtually how they announced the Bosa towers were coming to White Rock,” he said. “I sort of thought, really? “I’ve never been what you would call a political observer before that. That’s sort of where it all began.” Since then, he has run for office six times. Chesney said the towers issue – and the lack of community engagement around it – is also what sparked him to launch www. whiterocksun.com, a site he “absolutely” plans to continue during his council term. A self-described newspaper publisher, Chesney said he would not editorialize on the

issues, describing the site as somefast-growing area with a disconthing that “will allow me to disseminected arts community, something nate news in a more timely fashion.” he believes his history in arts and Chesney said one strength he’ll entertainment will help address. bring to the council table is a strong He described himself as a good connection to the people of White leader who likes to get people Rock.

Post office evacuation

Powder delays delivery A Canada Post office in Cloverdale was evacuated Wednesday morning, after a large amount of white powder dropped from a package to the floor. Police were alerted to the suspicious substance just after 5:30 a.m., and Surrey Fire Services Hazmat team was dispatched to the 17761 66 Ave. building to determine if it posed a threat. Fortunately, it didn’t. After five hours – and false reports of an explosion – police announced that the evacuation had been lifted and that the substance had been identified. According to the police report it was horse electrolytes “comparable to Gatorade”; a harmless veterinarian supplement. No charges are being considered. The incident delayed the delivery of mail to some residents of Cloverdale and those on rural routes in Surrey and Langley. – Black Press

Winning candidate’s support greatest in the north and south ends of community

Surrey polling stations indicate regional patterns Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Mayor-elect Linda Hepner and her Surrey First team not only won Saturday’s civic election, they took more than four-fifths of the polling stations in the city. Hepner – who received 48.5 per cent of the vote in a field of seven mayoral candidates – led in 53 of the 65 polling stations. Her Surrey First team was also installed in all of those voting areas. There were 52 voting places on election day and 13 voting opportunities in advance of Nov. 15. Runner-up Doug McCallum – who received 26.7 per cent of the

mayoral vote – took 11 polling stations. Eight were in West Newton and three in East Newton. McCallum didn’t take a single polling station south of 63 Avenue. He also failed to garner any wins north of 96 Avenue. The polling stations where McCallum was favoured were situated in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, and while voters there supported the former mayor, they didn’t back his Safe Surrey team entirely. Most votes in those polling stations went to four or five candidates with ethnic names and included those from Barinder Rasode’s One Surrey, Hepner’s Surrey First and

an independent (Saira Aujla). However, Rasode herself – taking only one polling spot, “election headquarters” – faired poorly in those ridings, coming in third behind Hepner and McCallum. Hepner did extremely well in South Surrey and almost tripled McCallum’s votes in Cloverdale. She also fared well in Guildford, perhaps due to her promise of an at-grade commuter rail from the SkyTrain to that community, which she vowed to have in place by 2018. In 81 per cent of the ridings, Surrey voters overwhelmingly chose to keep the status quo. Those results pair well with polls

prior to the election that showed Surrey First Mayor Dianne Watts had a 75-per-cent job approval rating, which one pollster called one of the highest in the country. Rasode said Tuesday that the election result “speaks to Mayor Watts’ legacy.” And while it worked out well for Surrey First, figures show people were voting strategically, or “plumping” by voting for fewer than a full council. Figures show the average voter chose only 6.68 councillors of the possible eight. Part of the reason plumping occurs is to better ensure the candidates you vote for are elected.

The other significant figure in this election was the voter turnout of 36.29 per cent. It was the largest turnout since 1990, even surpassing the electoral brawl between Watts and McCallum in 2005, which saw 35 per cent of the electorate come out and vote. Part of this year’s showing at the polls could be explained by having three strong candidates running for mayor who were working heavily to get the vote out. However, the mere fact that Surrey First won so many of the polling stations indicates some of that turnout will have been people showing up to defend the status quo.

Officer conduct ‘promptly and severely’ dealt with: judge

Surrey 6 convictions OK’d Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The multiple murder convictions of Surrey Six killers Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston will stand now that their attempt to have the charges thrown out has been rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge, who called their crimes “horrific.” Red Scorpion gangsters Haevischer and Johnston were found guilty on Oct. 2 of six counts each of first-degree murder and one of conspiracy to murder, but the verdicts had not been entered as they both sought a judicial stay of proceedings alleging abuse of process stemming from police misconduct during the Surrey Six investigation, as well as inhumane conditions the

pair faced while in custody. The Crown wanted the application dismissed without a hearing, arguing the allegations did not warrant throwing out six firstdegree murder charges. In her ruling Wednesday morning in Vancouver, Justice Catherine Wedge agreed there was misconduct, but said staying the murder charges “would be a disproportionate response” to the serious crimes committed by Haevischer and Johnston. “In light of the number of victims and the motivation underlying the murders,” Wedge said in her 42-page written ruling, “society’s interest in seeing justice done on the merits of this case is profound. Society’s interest weighs all the more heavily in

the context of this case because the carnage was the result of gang members fighting for turf in the illicit drug trade. “I am satisfied that the price of staying these convictions could not be worth the gain to our justice system,” said Wedge. In seeking the stay of proceedings, defence lawyers pointed to the Surrey Six investigation, during which several RCMP officers allegedly had sex with potential witnesses. Four officers are now facing criminal charges in connection with the allegations. Wedge agreed the police misconduct was “serious, prolonged and systemic.” But it is not ongoing, she added, and was “promptly and severely dealt with.”

Cities have called for tax reforms i from page 1 One in two B.C. renters doesn’t have access to adequate and reasonably priced housing, according to the association. Affordability is worst on the Burrard Peninsula and North Shore, according to the findings, while rents get cheaper South of the Fraser and east of Coquitlam. The average monthly expendi-

ture on rent and utilities in Metro Vancouver is $1,054, compared to $860 in the Fraser Valley. In both regions that works out to 23 per cent of the average income. Metro municipalities have been advocating for provincial and federal tax reforms to encourage construction of more rental housing. One major problem is the aging stock of existing rental

apartments. According to a 2012 study, a third of Metro’s renters – 110,000 households – live in low-rise wood-frame buildings more than 40 years old that are increasingly targeted for redevelopment. It estimated 6,300 units built before 1980 across Metro are already at moderate to high risk of redevelopment.

Defence lawyer seeks conditional sentence for sex assault

‘Jail time not warranted’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

The lawyer for a man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman more than seven years ago in White Rock says his client’s behaviour doesn’t warrant jail time. Jason Andrew Robinson didn’t use violence or threaten the victim, nor was there actual intercourse, John Douglas reasoned Monday in B.C. Supreme Court, in arguing for a conditional sentence of 12 to 18 months. As well, Robinson obeyed the victim’s order to leave, Douglas said. “So there was no force, no violence and no threats here,” Douglas told Justice Robert Crawford. “Once she woke up and told my client to leave, he left.” Robinson pleaded guilty this past June to the Aug. 31, 2007 assault, nearly a year after he was ordered to stand trial. In September, prosecutor Winston Sayson argued Robinson should spend two years in jail and 20 years on the sex-offender registry for the offence. At that time, the court heard that the assault occurred after the 25-year-old victim went to

the beach with Robinson and friends around 2 p.m., then to a pub, home for dinner and then to the Sandpiper Pub – where Robinson worked as a cook – around 7 p.m. She headed home “quite drunk” around 11 p.m., and went to bed, Sayson said. The assault occurred about four hours later. Douglas acknowledged that the victim – who did not attend the Supreme Court proceedings and cannot be identified – awoke to find her clothes had been removed “and my client was standing over her naked, about to have sexual intercourse with her.” But there is no proof of actual sex, he said. “My client has taken the position right from the beginning that there was no sexual intercourse,” Douglas said. He added that the victim had been “crying on my client’s shoulder” earlier in the evening, after she called her boyfriend – who was in the Maritimes – and the phone was answered by a woman. While Sayson had argued that expert reports showed Robinson “is in a state of denial” and often points to alcohol or cocaine as a reason for why he does

certain things, Douglas said his client has taken responsibility for “taking advantage of an intoxicated woman” and has changed his life in the years since. And, he is deemed a moderate to low risk to reoffend, as long as he keeps his drug and alcohol use under control. While conditional sentences for offences such as sexual assault were taken off the table seven years ago, Douglas said as they were an option at the time of the White Rock assault, it should still be available to Robinson. He added that conditional sentences have been imposed in “more serious-fact situations” – including cases involving penetration or minors. Sayson countered that the law around the presence or absence of penetration in determining sentencing “is not necessarily clear.” Sexual assault without it still has “profound effects” on a woman’s well-being, he said, naming humiliation, degradation, guilt, shame and self-blame as common characteristics among victims. “The moral culpability is the same,” Sayson said. Robinson is to learn his penalty tomorrow (Friday).

The cost of democracy

he promise from the provincial government that spending limits will be in place for municipal elections by 2018 is curious on a number of levels. First, interested members of the public have only until Dec. 5 to make submissions, attend hearings or fill out an online questionnaire (www. leg.bc.ca/cmt/leel/submissions.asp) for the special legislative committee which has already been gathering input from electoral organizations and other stakeholders. It’s also odd that the BC Liberals – while seeking to protect us from potential corruption on a municipal level – have not seen fit to support limits on spending or donations from corporations or unions provincially. Why should such a move not be applied across the board in B.C.? The fact remains that the financing of political campaigns by special interests with deep pockets needs to be addressed across Canada – including at the local level, where civic governments’ decisions literally impact our own backyards. Currently, B.C. has no limit municipally on who – whether an individual, a business or a union – can contribute to politicians’ war chests, or how much money they can throw in the coffers. Municipal politicians are legally obligated to divulge campaign contributors and amounts, but only after the elections, when the dust has settled. It goes against nature to suppose that someone who has received significant financial backing from a specific interest will not feel beholden in some way, somewhere down the line. And those who lay out large sums of money likely consider it an investment. Even if politicians are entirely able to divorce such considerations from their deliberations – remaining completely pure and unsullied – they still open themselves to accusations of bias. Politicians can’t ignore that the electorate is becoming far more suspicious of where their campaign contributions are coming from – which is why, in the recent civic election, most Vancouver candidates and even some in Surrey and White Rock made a point of disclosing the information before election day, long before it was mandatory. There is writing on the wall here – even at the federal level. Even though the Conservatives made it illegal to accept union and corporate campaign donations in 2006, abuses have been recorded. And the public is increasingly wary of large sums being spent by federal parties on image and attack ads – particularly prior to elections, when spending is not subject to the same rules and scrutiny.

“That’s not very long. If you ask someone to listen for one second, that’s hardly a tick of a clock, right? If you want me to listen for a minute, I’ll listen for a minute. You want me to listen for two…” Finally, he granted my request, but only if I “say please.” I explained we don’t promote select candidates and suggested he peruse past years’ articles. “We don’t care if you win, we don’t care if (incumbent Wayne) Baldwin wins. All we care about is providing our readers with enough information to make the right decisions,” I said. Bradshaw said if I proved him wrong, he would apologize. Given his derision, I didn’t expect one. In hindsight, the election brought us highs and too many lows – including a well-documented one following a CBC report on Bradshaw’s work history, for which I thought both mayoral candidates lowered the calibre of debate. Along the way, I hope readers think we tried to report objectively, without unduly trying to sway the outcome. Of course, even journalists have personal views. I form opinions every election on who I would like to see run my hometown. And as a newspaper editor, that often conflicts with who would make the best headlines. Sigh… what might have been. In the end, Bradshaw got a third of the votes – not bad for a relative newcomer with designs on the city’s highest office. But judging from his comments to us after his defeat – “I think your paper is totally devoted (to) and influenced by the powers that be… I have nothing to say to you” – I’m guessing my gut feeling on any forthcoming apology is not far off, too.

Editor: On Nov. 11, White Rock citizens lined the streets, attended church service and were present at White Rock’s Memorial to honour our veterans and Canada’s youth who gave up their lives so Canadians would have the right to elect their governments. Four days later, two-thirds of White Rock citizens chose to ignore the blood these soldiers, sailors and airmen and airwomen gave – and decided not to take advantage of their right to vote. In many parts of the world, people walk for days to vote; some vote even though there is a threat of death if they do. To those who chose not to vote, you had a chance to elect someone of your choosing, so please don’t complain about the elected government until the next election. The federal election is taking place in 2015, so let’s honour the fallen Canadian youth, veterans and serving members of Canada’s Armed Forces by every citizen voting. Bill Cameron, White Rock Q I was very glad to see so many others lined up with me to vote in the civic election today. As I’m writing this, it’s only 6:30 p.m., so I don’t know who was elected, but for the eight council and six school board seats, I’m sure our preferences as voters will be reflected in the results. However, I don’t think that’s true for the mayor’s position. With seven people running for mayor in our current ‘first past the post’ system, it’s conceivable that someone who got just a bit over one-seventh of the votes could become mayor. Of course that’s not likely, but if only four were running, the mayor could be elected by the votes of just over 25 per cent of the voters. This doesn’t feel democratic, no matter who eventually wins the position. Please, city council, can we adopt a preferential ballot voting system for all mayoral elections? That way, we voters could specify our first, second and third choices for the position, and, if our first choice candidate has the least number of votes, then our second choice candidate would get our vote – and so on, until one candidate has a majority of the votes. Sixty per cent of B.C. voters voted in support of this transferable-vote method for provincial elections in 2009; it’s used in Ireland, Scotland, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and Iceland. Let’s do it this way in Surrey, too, and then we’d know that our mayor would always be the preference of a majority of Surrey voters. Geoff Dean, Surrey Q While it is gratifying to see the voter turnout increase from 29 per cent in 2011 to 34 per cent in 2014, we still have a long ways to go to

Results come in last Saturday at Surrey First party central (above) and at White Rock city hall (right). ensuring more of us fully exercise our much cherished democratic right to chose our leaders. Although the citizens of White Rock have plainly spoken and chosen their elected leaders of our community for the next four years, all of whom I congratulate, I would remind the mayor and the elected members of the closely aligned White Rock Coalition that even with only about a third of all eligible White Rock voters choosing to vote, the total number of votes given to Baldwin and the six Coalition candidates were less than the total number given to the 12 independent candidates. As just one individual of that majority of “other” voters, I would remind you, on behalf of the majority, that as you unveil to us your vision of our city, your thoughts and actions should be tempered to duly consider the interests of the majority of voters who chose not to give you their support at the ballot box. Dennis Lypka, White Rock (Editor’s note: Candidate Lypka finished seventh, one spot and 132 votes shy of the last elected councillor.)

Home invasions Thoughts of having our landline phone removed in favour of using our cellular phones exclusively have been forefront in our minds, following the aggressive telephone campaign launched by our civic election candidates during the course of the last few weeks. We had no less than four phone calls in a single day from Surrey mayoral candidate Doug McCallum’s enthusiastic campaign team, who

write: Tracy Holmes photo

would call as late as 8:30 p.m. Although his group was the worst offender, the rest hounded us by phone until we finally turned it off. During the course of this election, we have been bombarded with billboards, radio and TV ads, newspaper ads, Facebook, Twitter and every other means of electronic communication available to these folks – and they still insist on invading our privacy with calls of solicitation by landline phone. It is time for the FCC to extend their restrictions on robocalls to include market research or polling, and calls on behalf of tax-exempt non-profit groups, which include the mindless and annoying political messages from our local candidates during municipal elections. Gordon Brow, Surrey Q On Friday, I received nine automated phone calls from either 778-300-1866 or 778-764-0022. The first time my phone rang was 6:17 a.m.! Now, I know that some of the ‘races’ were supposed to have been very close, but this setup is more than ridiculous – so, I will not support people whose workers

interrupt my life the way these calls did on Friday. You lost my vote. Colin Lain, Surrey Q This has to be the most intrusive election in memory. For years, the electorate has been asking politicians to end telemarketing, but the telecom companies are among the top-10 political donators to our politicians. This year, to add insult to injury, the politicians themselves are using telemarketing to annoy the hell out of us. The protectors have become the attackers. So here is the remedy. Before the next election rolls around, someone find out the poli’s home phone numbers and we will phone them at home with mindless robo-calls to make them quit phoning us. A Leger poll in March 2005 found that politicians were the least respected of all professions. Who, then, do they think they are going to convince with these obnoxious phone calls? Let’s stamp this out before it becomes another nail in the coffin of democracy. R.K. Grace, Surrey

White Rock council approves rezoning for planned duplex

Concerns for rooftop deck Staff Reporter

A zoning amendment that clears the way for a duplex development received the thumbs-up from White Rock council last month. However, concerns with the 1230 Best St. project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in particular, the plan for a roof deck â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard loud and clear local-area residents,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Al Campbell, who cast the sole vote against giving the zoning amendment third and final reading in one of the current councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final meetings before last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had and have an expectation of what they were going to see in the community when they bought here.â&#x20AC;? Bylaw 2064 rezones the property to RT-1 Two Unit (duplex) Residential from RS-1 One Unit Residential. Richard Wilson, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting director of planning and development services, explained the only difference between the two zones is the allowable massing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a duplex zone can have 45 per cent lot coverage, versus 40 in a RS-1 zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, you could build the exact same size house as a singlefamily dwelling, with a suite in the basement, and there would be little or no difference in the exterior,â&#x20AC;? he said. The planned roof deck is to be surrounded with glass, which will be hidden from Best Street behind a parapet wall, he said. Residents who spoke during a public hearing held prior to the Oct. 21 council meeting expressed concern with how the rooftop deck would be used; that items added for temporary use in the summer months could become a permanent part of their view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council should revisit roof decks,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Kealy, a Maple Street

Woods doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live near the development; she was one of 17 candidates for a councillor seat in the Nov. 15 election. Neither she nor incumbent Campbell were elected.

Owner/developer Enrique Ponce De Leon told attendees his family does want a view, but that they are also committed to creating what they can within the limits that are in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be absolutely zero difference between whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there and what will be,â&#x20AC;? he said. During councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discussion, Campbell asked for clarification on what will be allowed

South Surrey teen looking to expand wood-chopping enterprise

Business idea starting to catch fire Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter

What started nearly four years ago as a means for Tyler Reid to focus his energy in a positive way has turned into a booming business that is expanding far beyond his family’s South Surrey backyard. Reid, 17, is the operator of Tyler’s Firewood Company, which he started when he was 14 for a pretty simple reason – he just liked chopping wood. Spurred forward by his great-uncle who had asked Tyler to collect him some wood for a campfire, the South Surrey teen began scouring his neighbourhood for scrap lumber – perhaps tossed to the curb ❝He goes around now and tells his by a neighbour – as well as nearby friends, ‘I own a wooded areas for company.’ There fallen trees or dead aren’t too many wood. Then, he’d haul it 17-year-olds who into his backyard, can say that.❞ and sometimes with the help of his younger brother, Nicholas, and his dad, Kevin, he’d chop it up and bundle it. After that initial request for firewood, Tyler continued collecting and chopping wood, which began to pile up in his backyard. “One day, I said to Tyler, ‘What are we going to do with all this wood?’ and he said, ‘We could sell it!” Kevin explained. And thus began an operation that grew quicker than either Reid ever expected. It’s been more than just a job or a hobby for Tyler, his dad points out. Sure, he has made a few dollars from it, but it has helped him in other, more important ways. Reid has dyslexia, as well as a co-ordination disorder called dyspraxia. When he was younger, he struggled with organized sports – he’d run the wrong way on the soccer field, his dad says – and school wasn’t always easy, either. In elementary school, he was often bullied by classmates. In 2008, Reid appeared on the cover of the Peace Arch News – alongside younger brother, Nicholas – after his younger sibling, then 10, took a school speech-writing assignment and turned it into a powerful anti-bullying message, which he read aloud to his older brother’s class. Things have changed much since that speech – for the better. And much of Tyler’s progress, Kevin Reid, insists, is a result of his wood-chopping

Tyler’s Firewood Company’s South Surrey founder and operator Tyler Reid, 17, and his father, Kevin are looking to expand the business. endeavour. “For Tyler, it gives him a purpose, and that’s huge. Self-respect, confidence, all that stuff – it comes from this,” Kevin said. “He goes around now and tells his friends, ‘I own a company.’ There aren’t too many 17-year-olds who can say that.” And while the supply of scrap wood and dead trees eventually dried up, the amount

of choppable wood has not. Neighbours, once aware of Tyler’s efforts, bring him scrap wood when they can. They’ve even had companies drop off old wooden pallets that they would otherwise have to pay to dispose of themselves. A property owner in Hazelmere has also been gracious enough to allow the Reids onto his land, to clear away whatever excess

wood they wanted to take. Now, Tyler’s Firewood Company has one buyer – Hazelmere RV Park. Back in the summer of 2011, Tyler sold five bundles of wood to the owners of the park. Despite being more expensive ($12/bundle) than other commercial suppliers, the wood was purchased so quickly that more was requested. That year, Hazelmere ended up buying 105 bundles of Tyler’s firewood. In 2012, that number increased to 378 and this year, they expect to sell more than 500 bundles. From Day 1, Tyler has also used some of the money he’s made to give back to the community. Fifty per cent of the proceeds from every bundle sold goes to the Semiahmoo House Society. “It’s taken on a life of its own, and it’s only fair to give something back,” Kevin said. And it’s that charitable endeavour that the Reids hope might entice a major Lower Mainland lumber company or land-developer to help them expand their business. The Reids have sent proposals to a number of companies asking them to invest in a “50/50” partnership with Tyler’s Firewood Company. The Reids are hopeful that a company might provide them with space – preferably covered, so they can chop during poor weather – to expand their wood-chopping enterprise, while perhaps investing financially so new woodchoppers could be hired. In return, Kevin said, the company will get the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping Semiahmoo House Society, which will continue to benefit from sales. Despite the increase in demand – and the possibility of future growth – Tyler never seems to tire of wielding an axe, even on the days when he’s outside in the yard for hours at a time. His dad calls him “the king of chopping wood.” Tyler shrugs when asked if he ever gets tired of it. “I don’t really get tired. I just keep going until the pile is done,” he said. Kevin, meanwhile, has a theory on why Tyler’s firewood has been so in-demand, despite some of the wood looking old, knotty or weather-beaten, as opposed to other commercial sellers. “All of Tyler’s wood, it comes with a story.” For more information about the company, call 604-541-8490.

David and his family along with his team would like to say a big thank you to all that have graced their door. David said its a pleasure to get up in the morning and come to work. He has always enjoyed his job but it's the people you work with and the clients you serve that really make it a pleasure just to be there! David ran a six week long sale prior to Christmas with huge discounts on all products in the salon including the latest hot tools out there. It was so popular that he has decided to make it an annual event.

Swap fines for food White Rock Library will be offering residents the opportunity to reduce any outstanding fines and help out those in need with their Food for Fines campaign running until Dec. 10. Non-perishable food donations can be brought to the 15342 Buena Vista Ave., library – or any Fraser Valley Regional Library location – to have fines reduced. One food item equals $2 in fines and up to $30 of fines owed per library account can be waived during the campaign. All items collected will be donated to the local food bank in the library’s community. “FVRL strives to continually build meaningful partnership with various local community agencies,” FVRL CEO Rob O’Brennan said in a news release. “This particular collaboration is a great way for our customers to reduce or eliminate their overdue fines and provide muchneeded donations to our local food bank.” Only commercially packaged, undamaged and unexpired food items will be accepted. Local pantries are in need of pasta and pasta sauce, canned meats, fruits and vegetables, cold cereal, baby food, peanut butter and jam, rice, flour, sugar and oats (in one-kg bag), Boost and Ensure, soups and stews.

South Surrey Athletic Park Improvements Open House Tell us what you think of proposed improvements to the South Surrey Athletic Park.

Public Open House November 27, 2014

Rotary Field House @ South Surrey Athletic Park 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. (Drop in)

Developer’s Public Information Meeting 14737 Marine Drive The City of White Rock has received an application to rezone the property located at 14737 Marine Drive from ‘RS-2 One Unit (Small Lot) Residential Zone’ to ‘CD-47 Comprehensive Development Zone.’ If approved, the rezoning will allow the construction of a new residence that would not meet the requirements of the existing RS-2 zone. The applicant has scheduled a public information meeting for the public to review the application:

A new centrally located park amenity area is planned at South Surrey Athletic Park. The improvements aim to enhance the area between the Recreation Centre and Rotary Field House, south of the arena. The project will create an inviting park centre by improving vehicle and pedestrian flow and safety, relocating the waterpark, expanding the playground and providing more parking.

Date:

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Time:

5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Location:

White Rock Library, 15342 Buena Vista Avenue

If you are unable to attend the Open House, please provide feedback online via our CitySpeaks survey at www.surrey.ca/surveys beginning November 27, 2014. South Surrey Athletic Park is located west of 148 Street, south of 24 Avenue and north of 18 Avenue in South Surrey.

BC Sikhs mark birthday of founder South Asian households across the Lower Mainland mark the birthday of Guru Nanak

ach year, approximately 4 to 6 weeks before Christmas, thousands of British Columbians commemorate the birth of another enlightened saint, one born significantly further from our shores than Bethlehem.

Families attend a special prayer reading that falls annually on this late Autumn full moon. Sikhs from across Canada, the UK, Asia and India, share in religious meditation and mark family bonds, returning to the basics to recognise the life of man who was anything but ordinary.

At 546 years old, Sikhism is arguably the youngest organised religion in the world — its recognised birth year of 1499, according to the eponymous Nanakshahi calendar, comes 7 years after Columbus stumbled upon America. Over his seventy year life, Baba Nanak, as he is affectionately known, became India’s religious iconoclast. While simultaneously in Europe, Martin Luther was initiating the Protestant Reformation by railing against the bartering of Catholic indulgences, Guru Nanak was agitating for social rebellion in India. He fought for universal human rights against the plutocracy of medieval India. It was an era of kings, nobles, feudal servants, and slaves - a time when equality of all people was anything but self-evident. His advocacy for egalitarianism in the face of India’s harsh caste system was as scandalous as Christ’s call to ‘love thy enemies’ from the infamous Sermon on the Mount.

Guru Nanak, or Nanak Bedi by his family name, was born in 1469 in a village that is located now in modernday Pakistan.

On an individual level, he encouraged people to seek truth through meditation upon god’s name and essence.

The full moon of November falls on a date that marks the annual Gurpurab, or the birth of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Indo-Canadian households across the Lower Mainland and Canada will be attending their community gurudwaras to mark the birthday of the founder of the Sikh religion.

Celebrations for the 546th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev ji commenced on Friday November 14, 2014 at Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib, which is located on the corner of 68 Avenue and 152 Street. Extended evening prayers with special appearances by hymn singers from the Golden Temple take place 7 to 9 in the evenings. A drug , alcohol, and gang awareness seminar was held in the evening on November 16, 2014 with guest speakers Detective Khosa of the RCMP, Dr. Ahluwalia,

Repetition of religious rituals were as empty to Nanak when it came to righteous living as earning for oneself, (kirt kamaee), and sewagiving back to one’s communitywere necessary for it. Over his lifetime, Nanak inscribed his spiritual views through poetry that today forms the core of the Guru Granth Sahib - the Sikh scriptures or holy book at the centre of gurdwaras, or Sikh temple. True to his humanistic ideals, Nanak also published the poetry of a dozen other sages, from various faiths such as Hinduism and Islam, in the Sikh Granth. An analogy, unthinkable even in though given centuries of religious warfare, would be for the Bible to include passages written by Muslim saints. Truth for Nanak, a radical force, was not confined to within the borders of any one faith - an unsettling message for any orthodoxy. This singular decision, to transcend religious boundaries and create a movement based on universal humanism, gives Sikhism its defining characteristic of being an open and non-proselytising faith. Five centuries after the first Sikh congregations started gathering, anyone from any

and Dr. Gira Bhatt of Kwantlen University. Donations are being collected at the Gurdwara for the Surrey Food Bank to coincide with Guru Nanak Dev ji’s message to share with the less fortunate in advance of the holiday season shortage On Sunday, November 23, 2014, the celebrations wi ll end with a parade from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The parade will start and end on 68 Avenue on the west side of 152 Street. All Surrey residents are invited to join us along the parade route to celebrate Guru Nanak Dev ji’s universal message and enjoy free meals by residents along the route.

religious background is permitted to attend a Sikh temple - there is no expectation to convert. Despite Sikhism being the fifth largest organised religion in the world with temples across Canada, the US, UK, Asia and India, little is known, however, of Guru Nanak and his legacy outside of Sikh communities. And as intuitive as Nanak’s vision is of all humans being equals in one universal family, his ideals are still far from realised. In a world of open borders and mass immigration, Nanak’s message is more relevant than ever. In multicultural cities like Vancouver, Nanak’s path demands that we step out of our comfort zones, social cliques and cultural nooks. His vision encourages us to build shared spaces and communities that cut across ethnic, religious and cultural lines. Ironically, it seems the teachings of a 15th century sage from India hold the lessons required for us to become better Canadians. Article courtesy of Post Group Multimedia

Volunteers can register before end of the November

Help sought for annual Christmas Day dinner Alex Browne Staff Reporter

A grand city tradition – White Rock’s Christmas Day Dinner – is on the lookout for new volunteers to help make the 2014 celebration the best yet. Volunteers should register as soon as possible before the end of November with Sources Volunteer Services so that they can be matched with tasks for the annual event. Started 40 years ago by community-minded individuals, including the late George Bryant – for many years its Santa – the annual event brings together those who are alone or lonely to share an oldfashioned community celebration at White Rock’s First United Church Hall. “We’re looking for everything from potato-peelers and dishwashers to servers and cleanup staff,” said long-time organizer Chip Barrett, who added that while dinner participants from the community take precedence, volunteers usually end up getting dinner from the turkeyand-trimmings feast prepared each year. Some 60 volunteers are necessary to prepare the communitydonated meal, decorate the hall, and drive participants, as well as greet and serve the 200 or so who usually show up for the turkey feast, an informal retelling of the scriptural story, a singalong and a visit from Santa (who usually bears a slight resemblance to SurreyWhite Rock MLA Gordon Hogg). While White Rock Youth Ambassadors do their part in welcoming guests, there’s also a need for parking attendants, people capable of doing the ‘heavylifting’ jobs, as well as the all-important cleanup crew – as well as volunteers to supervise the volunteers. It’s not all a matter of working on Christmas Day, organizers add. On Christmas Eve, the committee needs potato peelers and choppers, carrot peelers and choppers,

and people to slice the onions, celery and bread for the turkey stuffing and fill condiment bowls. Organizers also need as many volunteers as possible – particularly younger men – to set up tables and chairs the day before. Decorators are also required, as well as people to set tables, sign cards and fill gift bags. On Christmas Day, there’s a need not only

for servers, but also kitchen helpers, dish washers and, at the end of the day, people to help with clean up and the inevitable chaos of a mass departure of guests. Some families volunteer as a way of sharing the Christmas spirit together, and it’s also been a great way of teaching children about the importance of community service. It may involve some hard work, but the

payoff in satisfaction of being part of a Christmas tradition of good fellowship can’t be exaggerated, long-term volunteers report. The sight of smiling faces at the end of the day seems to make it all worthwhile,” Barrett said. To register as a volunteer, call Sources Volunteer Services 604-542-4357 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

force them together. Former premier Gordon Campbell entrenched a promise the province would never forcibly amalgamate cities when he created the Community Charter. Other problems would plague a serious push for amalgamation as well – such as deciding where to draw borders. “If the province said, ‘Let’s fix the region,’ what’s the region you’re trying to fix?” Smith asked. “Does it include Abbotsford? Does it include Chilliwack? The Gulf Islands?” Then there’s the optics of having one mayor rule an entire region, which was problematic even before Toronto mayor Rob Ford confessed to smoking crack. A green-minded mayor from Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood might grate in Langley, while a Ford-style suburban conservative would be unpalatable to downtown urbanites. Wards would be have to be created to preserve representation for smaller cities or else the megacity would be dominated by politicians from populous Vancouver and Surrey. Instead, Smith says the federated model of municipalities working together within the Metro Vancouver regional district to jointly deliver utilities like water and sewage has generally worked well.

Bateman said it would be smarter to pursue piecemeal mergers of nearby communities in the region where it makes sense to do so. Langley Township and Langley City should be able to join forces, he argues, and perhaps North Vancouver City and District. SFU political science professor Patrick Smith agrees sub-regional amalgamation is more viable, with Lions Bay and Bowen Island perhaps joining West Vancouver, or Belcarra and Anmore joining Port Moody or Coquitlam. Megacity amalagamations have generally failed to deliver on promised savings, he added. And while it might be popular to purge many of the politicians who currently prowl the region for votes – Ontario Premier Mike Harris dubbed his 1996 municipal amalgamation legislation the “Fewer Politicians Act” – Smith said many residents prefer a smaller local government that’s more responsive to their wishes. Delta, with its no-call-too-smallpolicing, has fiercely opposed any talk of a move to a regional police force, which would be a less dramatic step than full municipal amalgamation. “I don’t think there’s any inclination on the part of the participants to go there,” Smith said. And if Metro municipalities don’t volunteer, it’s unlikely the provincial government would ever

Taxpayers might save money if Metro Vancouver’s 21 separate municipalities – each with its own mayor, council and bureaucracy – could be merged into a single super city. But observers say even that premise is far from Bateman certain in the unlikely event the idea of amalgamation ever gets serious traction in this region. “I believe it could save money,” Smith Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “But you would have to hold a hard line on labour costs, Oakes which won’t be popular with the unions.” He said the risk with amalgamation is that the most expensive tax rates and labour deals across the region prevail rather than the cheapest ones, triggering tax hikes instead of cuts. That’s a key downside of shifting to a megacity model like Toronto or Montreal. “The big problem is you lose tax competitiveness,” Bateman said. “As bad as our property taxes are, it’s helpful to taxpayers when Port Coquitlam, for example, feels like they’re competing with Port Moody and Coquitlam for residents and businesses.”

Deemed ‘risky’ › from page 25 Mainland flowed out of the massive flood of 1948 and Smith predicts it would take some similar catastrophe to topple the current structure and move to a megacity. “You’d need a crisis of some sort, it could be a flood or an earthquake,” he said. “But we’ve had that kind of crisis in social terms with the missing women and nothing’s happened,” he said, referring to the discarded recommendation of regional policing reform. Greater Victoria, with its similar patchwork of municipalities, seems more fertile ground after voters in several communities there on Saturday approved a non-binding referendum question to explore amalgamation. Community Minister Coralee Oakes said Monday the province will conduct a governance study. “It’s going to be very difficult, but we’re committed to doing that,” she said. “We should be looking at integrated services. We should be looking at are we being efficient with our taxpayer money.” Oakes said after referendum questions in Victoria, Saanich and other Vancouver Island municipalities showed strong support, communities that didn’t have amalgamation on the ballot also indicated interest in participating in the study.

Easier reforms: There may be ways to make municipal services more efficient or to improve local democracy without full amalgamation. Here are two ideas: • Jordan Bateman says neighbouring cities could try negotiating agreements to share services, such as fire departments or parks and recreation operations. • Patrick Smith says some of Metro Vancouver’s regional district directors could be directly elected, instead of the current process where they must first win election as a mayor or councillor and then be chosen by their council to go to the regional board.

Police officers in red serge will now be armed

RCMP security tightened Jeff Nagel Black Press

RCMP officers in red serge will now be armed, as per a new policy. change. The letter warns the new policy directive threatens cost-effective policing and will impact a broad range of community programs in schools and parks that are staffed by Coquitlam’s 49 auxiliaries. “Such a change will also have a significant financial impact if sworn officers are required to provide direct supervision of all activities performed by our auxiliary constables,” the letter states. “Our existing complement of regular members will no longer be freed up to attend to other scheduled duties.” More than 1,100 auxiliaries assist with policing across B.C. and Malo said it’s appropriate to be more careful than in the past,

depending on the circumstances. “I consider them community heroes,” Malo said. “They’re volunteers who volunteer hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to wear an RCMP uniform and serve their community. We have to make sure these local heroes are protected.” RCMP officers appearing in the community in red serge often were not armed in the past. That has changed and those officers will now carry firearms, including at Remembrance Day ceremonies. “At things like funerals it’s very traditional we were not armed,” Malo said. “Now you will see when we are identifiable, we are always armed.”

GRANDVIEW

CORNERS

Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliary constables who volunteer unarmed in the community. The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to Assistant Commissioner Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland District Commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said, referring to the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill. He predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals. “It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.” Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential threats and other factors. Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of offices on duty to respond to other calls, but added policing costs will likely rise for some festivals. That prospect has alarmed Coquitlam city council, which voted to write to RCMP national headquarters to protest the

Current policy only allows small pets on bus in cages

Transit dog rules may loosen Jeff Nagel Black Press

TransLink is reviewing its policy banning most dogs from riding SkyTrain or buses after a New Westminster woman urged the transportation authority’s board to reconsider. Margaret Halsey, a dog owner and artist who does pet portraits, argues well-behaved leashed and muzzled dogs should be permitted on public transit outside of rush hour, adding it would help reduce the number of cars on the road. “Most dog owners are very supportive of it, especially ones who prefer not to drive,” Halsey said. “It would help people get out of their own neighbourhood and

walk their dog at off-peak times.” Besides being on a harness, short leash and muzzle, Halsey suggests dogs be obedience-tested by TransLink and approved dogs be required to wear a jacket that would help reduce allergens and identify the dog as authorized to ride transit.

TransLink’s current policy, in place since 2001, allows only small dogs and other pets that fit into a cage or container on the passenger’s lap. Guide dogs are exempt. Halsey’s dog – a 42-pound whippet named Smyth – is too big. “I can see him being very well behaved on the transit system, as would many dogs of responsible owners,” she said. “There are irresponsible dog owners, of course, and they won’t be interested in it because they don’t like transit anyway.” Spokesperson Jiana Ling said TransLink will consider allergy concerns and consult with stakeholders ahead of any decision.

IHIT arrests five in murder cases Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Homicide detectives have arrested five people who are believed to be responsible for two separate murders in North Surrey more than five years ago. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced last week that it had secured arrests in two separate cold cases. The first homicide occurred on Oct. 25, 2006 when David Mitchell was severely beaten in a

residence in the 11000-block of Ravine Road in North Surrey. He was taken to hospital where he died. IHIT has arrested four people in relation to that homicide. Khalid Damien Arnaout, 35, has been charged with second-degree murder, while three others have been charged with manslaughter and accessory after the fact. They include: Charles Vincent Chambers, 34, Michael Ludwig Yost, 32, and Kevin Alexander Pigott.

IHIT has also arrested a man in relation to a murder that took place 2½ years later. On Feb. 2, 2009, Mounties responded to a complaint of shots fired from the second floor of an apartment building in the 13300block of 105A Avenue. They found 25-year-old James Ward Erickson dead from gunshot wounds. IHIT has charged David Clifford Sadler, 29, with first-degree murder.

In Vancouver, where developers and civic worker unions spend heavily, Mayor Gregor Robinson’s Vision Vancouver party and challenger Kirk Lapointe’s Non-Partisan Association were pushed to voluntarily disclose their major donors before Saturday’s vote. Imposing campaign reform on local governments is an awkward task for the ruling BC Liberals, who have refused to give up their multi-million-dollar advantage in corporate donations over the NDP and other challengers. NDP leader John Horgan said Monday the opposition will soon table its annual private member’s bill calling for the elimination of corporate and union donations from provincial campaigns.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Gilbert & Sullivan Society starts the holiday season

Edgy panto features made-over Santa 2.0 Alex Browne

Arts Reporter

hey’ve already brought us The Phantom of the Panto. So why not Santa Claus: The Panto? Producers Lyn Verra-Lay and Mike Balser of the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society freely agree the group has positioned itself on the edgier, more experimental end of the local Christmas pantomime spectrum. That’s certainly true of the world premiere of Santa Claus, which will kick off the Christmas panto season Nov. 26 to Dec. 7 at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Audiences can rest assured that the FVGSS shows are seldom so antitraditional that they neglect such timehonoured, enjoyable panto schtick as a Dame, a principal ❝Santa wants boy-girl and girl-girl, to change and familiar songs, nefarious and tons of Mrs. Claus villainy goofy groaners and doesn’t like topical political gags. it at all. It’s But one can definitely change versus expect some unusual no change.❞ and novel twists in Santa Claus, an original Mike Balser by panto veteran Adrian producer Duncan, plus the fatherdaughter team of Jeff and Hannah Christensen and long-time panto-meister Balser, society president, who also co-authored and directed last year’s The Frog Princess. Like most stories, it starts with a ‘what if?’ – supplied, in this case, by Duncan. Suppose Santa Claus has decided he’s more than due for a makeover? Suppose a new diet, intensive yoga and a ‘cooldude’ attitude has transformed him into something far from the Santa of old? As embodied by lead player Luke George Branson, this streamlined Santa is very different from the expected image, Balser and Verra-Lay acknowledge. “Luke is 28, about five-foot-eight and maybe 140 pounds soaking wet,” said Balser, who did some development reworking of the original script together with Duncan and the Christensens. There’s stakes-raising character conflict in Mrs. Claus’ (panto dame Croy Jenkins) reaction to Santa’s makeover, he said. “Santa wants to change and Mrs. Claus doesn’t like it at all. It’s change versus no change.” Both he and Verra-Lay quip that the

panto anto is still a work in progress. “We decided a year ago we would co-produce, o-produce, and we’re almost finished, nished,” laughed Verra-Lay, who noted oted with Balser that, even with instinct and experience, a new panto has to reach the workshop/rehearsal phase to o truly discover where the he telling moments – and, ultimately, ltimately, the laughs – are. Fortunately, the show has a solid and reliable creative framework ramework in place, including skilled killed performer-director Dann Wilhelm as artistic director (“I find it difficult to walk away from the directing irecting job,” Balser admitted), musical director Tim Tucker, choreographer horeographer Carol Seitz and nd assistant choreographer Elizabeth lizabeth Lay. Other agreeably reliable elements lements are supplied byy dithery senior elf lf Bobo (Clive Ramroop), progressrogressoriented riented principal rincipal boy oy Kristopher (Breanna Breanna Branson), ranson), principal rincipal girl Kristabel (Samantha Andrews, a loyal panto perennial erennial for the last decade) and nd Fairy Wintergreen (Kate Naylor). Chief villain of the piece is crafty coal oal salesman Carbone Bootmark (Chris Hall), intent on boosting Santa’s coal bill byy turning nice kids naughty, aided and abetted betted by his sidekick, Teazel the Weasel (Jen Jen Tiles, of White Rock panto fame, in n yet another of her hilarious cartoony animal nimal characterizations). There’s also a ‘panto’ animal – Rudolph the he Reindeer – portrayed by Rebecca Teskey and Fraser McKay – and the Christensens’ real-life canine companion Max portrays Olive ‘The Other Reindeer.’ Balser said working with the writing collaborators ollaborators has actually proceeded very smoothly. moothly. Duncan, coming from traditional panto experience, xperience, is a past-master in inventing ingratiatingly ngratiatingly funny names for the i see page 34

Panto hits the stage Nov. 26 i from page 33 characters, he said. “Hannah – who’s only 16 – is the one who keeps the plot logical, while Jeff is the guy who, while we’re talking about how to resolve one character’s arc, says ‘let’s put in a Christy Clark joke.’ With him you’re either saying ‘that’s brilliant!’ or ‘yeah…no.’” Hannah – who has performed in several of the recent pantomimes with her notably droll magician/comedian dad – said Duncan suggested she join the writing team after he heard she wrote and published a children’s book, Sock Wars, when she was only 11 (dedicated to the memory of her late little brother, Jonah, who died when she was nine, it made headlines five years ago when she sold thousands of copies for the Raise-AReader charity). She has been enjoying her behind-the-scenes work in Santa Claus as much as her role as the elf Elvira, she said. “It’s been wonderful seeing ideas that were only taking place in someone’s mind taking form on stage,” she said. “It’s really cool, the

dynamic of seeing everything coming together.” Jeff Christiansen, who claims he was originally “tricked” into becoming part of the FVGSS pantomime family by Balser while he was developing stage presence for his magic work, was awarded the gold medal by the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians earlier this year for his new mentalist (mindreading) act. He’s actually playing a magician – Presto – in Santa Claus, he said, adding that as much as he enjoys using his FVGSS experience in his own act, he also likes using his training to enrich the magical aspects of the pantos’ Fairy Tale ethos. That includes adding an audience-interactive mentalism element to this year’s show, he said. “It just fit in so nicely – of course Santa would know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice!” Show performances are Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. To reserve tickets, call 604-501-5566.

Local society to host art show Special Guest: DR ART HISTER!!

Art show for Zimbabwe The Zimbabwe Gecko Society will host an art sale featuring work from the African country on Nov. 22. Approximately 100 paintings brought over from Zimbabwe by society founder Susan Janetti will be on display at Ocean Park Community Hall, 1577 128 St., for purchase, as well as wire ornaments, baskets and crafts. “We’ve done garage sales, we’ve done auctions, but this is our first art show,” Janetti said Tuesday. “All the artists (inspired me) to do the show. “I’m an artist myself, and watching all these artists struggle

to survive was just terrible.” Janetti purchased the paintings from the artists while visiting last year and brought them to her home in Canada to see if she could use them in a fundraiser. “There are lovely pieces. All kinds of things. Pottery, baskets, real big paintings – and some unusual forms of art,” Janetti said. All the proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly back to helping those widows and orphans in Zimbabwe, with a fraction going to the artists who created the pieces.

McCardell has turned this time to a bittersweet memoir of what he describes as his own “hardscrabble childhood” in New York City. Raised by a working mother in the tough borough of Queens, “Mickey” and his childhood friends had never seen the ocean, even though it was just a sub-

way ride away. Instead, he recalls, their beach paradise was an ice cream factory disposal yard piled high with waste cardboard – an “ocean” into which they would dive and swim in search of castoff ice-cream sandwich wafers. McCardell will be at 1-15562 24th Ave. Nov. 22 at 1:30 p.m.

Senior boys place first, girls third at Fraser Valley championships

Banner weekend for Marriott volleyball Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

For the second year in a row, the Earl Marriott Mariners senior boys volleyball team will head to provincials as champions of the Fraser Valley. The Mariners captured their second consecutive Fraser Valley AAA senior boys title Saturday night on their home court, with a three-set victory (25-23, 25-19, 25-15) over the Fraser Heights Firehawks.

It was the sixth year in a row that the Marriott side had advanced to the regional championship game, but only their second-ever win. “We lost those first four, all in a row, so this is great (to win twice),” said Earl Marriott head coach Bob Smith. “And it was really great for the guys to be able to do it this time in front of their family and friends, on their home court.” Making the victory even sweeter was the fact that the Firehawks had given the Mari-

ners all they could handle earlier in the season, winning all four times the squads squared off, though Smith said his highly ranked squad – they’ve been ranked inside the top three provincewide most of the season – had played some of those earlier contests without a fully healthy roster. Nevertheless, he was happy to get the best of their rivals when it counted most. “We’d just had a lot of trouble with them. We had some injuries, and we just started the sea-

son off slowly,” Smith explained. “It took us awhile to gel as a team, but we generally peak in November, and we’re doing that again.” Earl Marriott was led by tournament MVP Justin Faester, while Eric Lee and Evan BellFoley were named to the Fraser Valley all-star team. Last year, Marriott carried the momentum from Fraser Valleys all the way to a provincial championship, where they beat No. 1 › see page 41

Football playoffs continue

Panthers, Mariners advance Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers had never seen an opponent pass the ball as much as the Belmont Bulldogs. But the Victoria team hadn’t been able to see Tweedsmuir quarterback Johnny Chwaklinski until Friday afternoon at Cloverdale Athletic Park, and in the end they couldn’t stop him. Chwaklinski played in his first full game at quarterback since a serious ATV accident this past summer, and led the Panthers to a 35-20 victory in the first round of the BC High School Football Association’s Senior AAA playoffs. The Grade 12 student completed a 70-yard touchdown pass to Colton Zayshley to open the scoring, then ran eight times for 60 yards, including touchdown runs of three, four and five yards. “Belmont gave us all we could handle through the air. It was a tough week of preparation as we haven’t played anybody that committed to throwing the football and some of our key guys were banged up from the Kelowna game (last week),” said Panthers head coach Kurt Thornton. “Our DC (defensive co-ordinator) Lou DesLauriers did an outstanding job preparing our boys for this game and our

The Panthers had the ball for just seven possessions, but scored on five of them and took plenty of time off the clock. Caleb Abraham rushed 13 times for 157 yards, including a two-yard touchdown run,

and also led the defence with eight tackles. Hayden Hamilton, KJ Johnson and Brad Mawson each had five tackles, with Hamilton adding two sacks to his season’s total, bringing it to 14, which is a new school record. Cam Sparkes was five-for-five on converts. “We didn’t turn the ball over at all and kept penalties to a minimum,” said

Thornton after the game. “Our boys executed the game plan and won the game as a result. I am very proud of the game the Panthers played.” Lord Tweedsmuir advances to play the South Delta Sun Devils in a quarterfinal contest next weekend.

Tier 2 The Earl Marriott Mariners’ varsity squad is in the provincial finals.

Now, EMS will square off against Eric Hamber Secondary tomorrow (Friday) in the provincial-title game, which is to be played at Burnaby Lake. In last Friday’s win, Chris Ridley – whom head coach Michael Mackay-Dunn compared to Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson, for his ability to run as well as throw – led the way with two rushing touchdowns and one passing TD, which was caught by Patrick Grabowski. “He had as many yards gained

Hawks win twice in weekend battle against Vancouver Chiefs

Valley West moves into fourth after sweep Rick Kupchuk Black Press

A sweep of the Vancouver Chiefs has lifted the Valley West Hawks into fourth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. After a 4-1 victory Saturday in the Langley Events Centre and a 4-3 triumph Sunday afternoon in Coquitlam, the Hawks have improved to 9-5-2 (won-lost-tied), three points back of the Okanagan Rockets. “Hard-fought battles both games that were marked by good special-teams play, great goaltending and opportunistic goal scoring,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. Valley West got an early start to Saturday’s game. The Hawks opened the scoring 11 minutes into the game and led the rest of the

way. James Malm assisted on a first-period game. Semiahmoo’s Jeffrey Stewart got the goal from Langley’s Christian Bosa, then Hawks on the scoresheet two minutes before scored himself to make it 2-0 late in the the first intermission, but Vancouver replied second.

Malm earned come from behind to earn the two points, as an assist on Watson’s goal, his third of the the Chiefs were up 2-0 12 minutes into the game.

Jakob Walter made 35 saves in the Hawks nets for the win. “Walter was sensational in the second and third periods, making big saves through traffic and off breakaways,” noted Leung. “We gave up better looks than I’d like but I’m happy that our goalies came up big for us. We got key saves at key times that helped us complete the sweep.” The Hawks travel to Victoria next weekend for a pair of games with the South Island Royals. The Royals are in seventh place at 8-7-1. “We’re only up on them by three points,” said Leung. “So we need to be ready to work or we’ll quickly find ourselves back in the pack.”

Jingle Blades on ice for 20th year The White RockSouth Surrey Skating Club is set to host its annual Jingle Blades competition – a popular event now in its 20th year. The three-day event starts tomorrow (Friday) at White Rock’s Centennial Arena and wraps up Sunday. The competition will feature nearly 500 skaters, ranging in age from five years old to 21, with the

majority of participants being young skaters making their competitive debuts. In total, 31 clubs will be represented. The event, which is free to the public, runs 8 a.m. until 9:30 pm. on both Friday and Saturday, and from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday. For more on the WRSSSC, visit www. wrsssc.com – Nick Greenizan

The AAA championship game is scheduled for Nov. 29 at 5 p.m. Earl Marriott also found themselves atop the podium at the senior girls AAAA Fraser Valley tournament, finishing in third place after a win over their rivals from Elgin Park in the bronzemedal game. Earl Marriott edged the Orcas 3-0 (25-22, 25-15, 25-17), and was one of three Surrey teams to finish near the top, though the championship banner went to Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids. The Rapids defeated Cloverdale’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in the title tilt, winning in three straight sets. Tweedsmuir’s Autumn Davidson and Claudia Corneil, as well as Earl Marriott’s Angelica Kilbert, were named tournament all-stars. Tweedsmuir, Earl Marriott and Elgin Park all qualify for AAAA provincials, which begin Nov. 27 at Cranbrook’s Mount Baker Secondary.

driveway Subaru Imprezas on ice and snow

It’s all about gaining traction for Subaru, not just on the pavement but also in terms of sales. For Subaru, traction and sales are related. When Subaru decided to switch its entire lineup of cars to all wheel drive (AWD) back in 1995, the company never looked back. (That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon.) Back then, sales then were roughly 4,000 per year and this year Subaru is on track to sell over 40,000 units, an impressive accomplishment. In order to highlight Subaru’s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter conditions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect.

Looks

Earlier this year Subaru introduced the WRX, higher performance, Imprezabased sedan to accolades for that vehicle’s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX “light”. The new front grille, headlamps, air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder statement. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look. But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen, the way the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and

under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially but they are welcome.

At Peace Arch News, we're 100% committed to providing local news and advertising in White Rock and South Surrey.

Inside The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest make it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar onedimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors and huge windows that make outward visibility impressive, but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015, Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment, and heated seats are standard on all but the base model. Drive Driving over ice-covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and

ARE YOU RECEIVING YOUR COPY? The 2015 Subaru Impreza handles capably in snowy, cold conditions. then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market,” helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked

suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This, along with the much quieter interior, makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine, too, is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option. Verdict The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission now has a thicker casing

for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes no action. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Starting at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many buyers.

With the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show wrapping up last week in Las Vegas, I thought I would share with you an interesting vehicle that was on display and caught my eye – the 2014 Toyota Tundra Ultimate fishing vehicle.

Forward-thinking design: Homes that set the pace When you choose Regan’s Walk – a signature home by Marcon – you are choosing the convenience of a transit-oriented community. Meaning that all the necessary amenities are just a walk away - 10 minutes or less to be exact – including Burquitlam Plaza, gyms and recreational facilities, restaurants, shopping, parks, and a brand new Safeway. Or hop on the Evergreen Line for a ride to downtown Vancouver in under 30 minutes. Along with its efficient service, the new Skytain line will attract a mix of diverse shops and services to the blossoming neighborhood. Have a craving for cuisine? There is a fabulous pizza joint nearby, plenty of ethnic options including Japanese and Thai, or a local pub for when you’re in the mood to catch the game. For the outdoorsy-type, Mountain View and Burquitlam Park are a stone’s throw from home, or take a stroll with the kids to Banting Middle and Mountain View Elementary located a short distance from your front door. The area has a walkable score of 7.7, as ranked by walkscore.com - which means it has been voted high in its location status for providing residents the ability to run errands on foot. With shops and services just a stroll down the street, Regan’s Walk is the right choice for an active urban lifestyle. Of the 71 homes located at 611 Regan Avenue, Coquitlam, there are currently only 12 available. The prices for the 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedrooms and 3 bedroom + den homes are currently the lowest price points in the area, starting at just $199,900 and continuing up from there. The homes feature a contemporary classic design exterior and modern interior, with close attention to detail throughout. Regan’s Walk combines forward-thinking design and lasting appeal that reflect both quality and style. The homes continue to set the pace with built in USB charging stations, spacious master bedrooms in select homes, and video surveillance in the underground parking.

The interior features 9-foot ceilings, premium laminate hardwood flooring, windows designed to allow an abundance of fresh air and natural light and top-quality washer and dryer. The kitchen boasts state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, full-height pantries for added storage complete with a build in microwave, sleek, polished chrome, single-control faucet and LED-under cabinet accent strip lighting. The bathroom reflects both elegance and modern sophistication with a Classic Collection deep soaker tub, polished chrome bath and shower rain showerhead, forged steel framed mirror with brushed steel accent light bar and plenty of other quality details that make this home feel like your home. With Marcon’s green initiatives, the pedestrian-friendly community is just one way the developers are ensuring a safe

and healthy future. The homes feature energy and water conservation advantages such as low-flow toilets and efficient common area lighting, as well as recycling facilities for residents. “At Regan’s Walk, our homes feel like homes. Bedrooms feel like bedrooms. Kitchen’s feel like kitchen’s, and Marcon takes prides in quality workmanship,” says Sales Manager, Celia Chiu. “The feedback I get from our purchaser’s is that they appreciate the square footage we have to offer, our finishes are clean and elegant and they love our full size kitchen appliances, even the quality and display of our Sales Presentation Centre - it’s not overdone.” For more information, visit the Sales Office at Unit 408 - 552 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, BC - located right inside Burquitlam Plaza.

Contemporary classic architecture by award-winning Rositch Hemphill Architects and fresh modern interiors by Gannon Ross Designs give Regan’s Walk a lasting appeal. And with construction by Marcon, a developer known for its dedicated attention to detail, you can be sure the quality of your Regan’s Walk home will be as enduring as its style.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

TRAYLER, Steven Edward “Steve” Nov. 10, 1950 - Nov. 10, 2014 Steve passed away suddenly on Quadra Island on his 64th birthday leaving sadness in the hearts of so many. He was born in Vancouver, BC, the son of the late Cecil and Doreen Trayler. Steve is survived by his brother Michael Trayler, his niece Jennifer Trayler and nephew Jesse Trayler. Although separated, Steve maintained a relationship and was survived by his wife Susan Trayler and left behind his step children Simone Lamont (and husband Tim), Fraser Jordan (and wife Ali) and his beloved grandchildren Gracie, Ava, Mia and Ronin. Steve was employed as a civil servant for years. However, for the majority of his life, he made a living and was best known as a talented and passionate musician, songwriter, artist, painter, storyteller, photographer and performer. As such, Steve was a mentor to all, young and old, and enjoyed nothing more than a good old casual open Island jam session. It is in this spirit that a Celebration of Steve’s Life will be held beginning at 3:00pm on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at the Herriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island. All who loved Steve are welcome.

OBITUARIES

IN MEMORIAM DOROTHY BONSHOR 1918 - 2014 McLevy, Linda February, 23, 1952 ~ November 8, 2014

Linda passed away on November 8th 2014. She is survived by her beloved son Hal Mykolaishyn (South Surrey), her life partner Henry Hefter, and their three Furbabies. Linda had a large and supportive group of family and friends who rallied to help her through the year long battle with pancreatic cancer. Special mention to cousin Eleanor Sealy, sister Carol Jackson and dear friends Brenda Raincock and Carolyn Cooke for their endless encouragement. Linda was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved with her family to Ontario in 1960. She moved to Portland, Oregon in 1979 where she taught GED and business communications. The family returned to Canada in 1988. Linda enjoyed a full life balanced with family, education, career and friendship. She retired in 2010 from CMBC from her favourite job as a Supervisor at the Richmond Transit Center. Family, friends, neighbours and coworkers are invited to join us for a celebration of Linda’s life to be held Saturday, November 22 at 1:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre, 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation Pancreas BC. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Dorothy Bonshor on the morning of November 8, 2014. Dorothy led a life full of love, adventure and challenge. Born on November 16, 1918 in Shellbrook Saskatchewan, Dorothy was orphaned at age 4 and raised by her beloved Aunt Cora. After meeting her future husband, Bob, in Prince Albert the couple moved to Vernon to work the fruit orchards in the midst of the Depression. After war broke out in Europe Bob volunteered to go overseas and reluctantly left Dorothy behind in Vancouver with the first two of their children. Bob returned after the war and the couple opened a grocery store on Victoria Drive. When the store couldn’t pay the bills, Bob went to work at the White Pine Mill in Burnaby where he learned lumber grading. The couple moved to Surrey in 1952 (with their now 6 children) into the ‘Palace’-a tiny one bedroom rented house. Later they were able to buy a small house in Newton (sheer luxury with 3 bedrooms) where they expanded their brood to include 10 children (in addition to occasional nieces, nephews and friends). All of the Bonshor kids graduated from Princess Margaret High School in Newton. Bob passed away suddenly in October 1973, leaving Dorothy with 4 teen boys still at home. She learned to drive, obtained her E.C.E. certificate and began teaching preschool at the Star of the Sea in White Rock. Later she found work she loved at the Langley Library where she made many dear friends and continued to work for 8 years until her retirement at age 65. After retiring, Dorothy moved to Ocean Park and dedicated her spare moments to volunteering on the Penninsula, working with the Senior’s Drop-In Centre, the Stewart Farmhouse and the Semiahmoo Senior’s Support Foundation among many others. In 2007, Dorothy was given special recognition by the Mayor of Surrey for 25 years of volunteer service. Dorothy also kept active with fitness classes and pole walking, and kept her mind sharp with reading, scrabble and singing with the White Rock Singers (thank-you to Frank and Gladys Muir) and the Kent St. Choristers. Dorothy leaves behind a legacy of kindness and service to others that is extraordinary and inspiring. In spite of her busy family life and an ongoing battle with depression, Dorothy dedicated her life to helping others- always looking for ways to lift up those she saw struggling. She was adored by her family and everyone lucky enough to have known her. Dorothy was pre-deceased by her husband Bob and their son Bob Jr. (d. 2014 survived by his wife Elizabeth). Dorothy is survived by her daughters: Maureen Montgomery (Ross), Wenda Bonshor (Derek), Penny Hawkins (Brian), Pat Keitaibl (Joe), Lynne Watson (Jim) and her sons: Dave Bonshor (Melanie), Gerry Bonshor (Wendy), Andy Bonshor (Tracey) and Mark Bonshor (Mariola). Dorothy is also survived by 37 grandchildren, 48 great grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren who remember her Easter egg hunts, puppet shows, bowling extravaganzas and her delicious Grancookies and home-made soup. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the wonderful, respectful and caring staff at Morgan Place where Dorothy spent her final 3 years. Our deep gratitude also goes out to Dorothy Blandford for her spiritual guidance and friendship to Mom over the past many years. It is not possible for all of us to lead the kind of selfless life that Dorothy led but we honour her memory when we strive to make humility, gratitude, and kindness to others part of our daily life. ‘Beside the fountain, I stand here dreaming, of life together, eternally” In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Penninsula charity of your choice. Friends are invited to attend a memorial for Dorothy on December 20 2:00-4:00 in the Cedar Hall at the First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Drive in White Rock.
