Countdown to Oct. 19
Last call Nick Greenizan Staff Reporter
In what was one of the last opportunities to debate publicly prior to Monday’s federal election, five of six candidates vying for the South Surrey-White Rock riding touched on a range of topics during an allcandidates forum Tuesday evening. The meeting, held at Southridge School, saw candidates Pixie Hobby (NDP), Judy Higginbotham (Liberal), Dianne Watts (Conservative), Larry Colero (Green) and Brian Marlatt (Progressive Canadian) answer questions on issues ranging from supporting small business and balancing the budget, to a national housing strategy, pension benefits for seniors, Bill C-51, legalizing marijuana, Surrey’s gang problem and environmental protection, among others. (A sixth candidate, Libertarian Bonnie Hu, did not take part in the debate because she could not be reached by event organizers, South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce executive director Cliff Annable told Peace Arch News.) The questions were pre-submitted by attendees and vetted by a threeperson panel before being approved, moderator Gary Hollick told the crowd of approximately 250. On the subject of whether they’d

Moderator Gary Hollick (far left) listens as five of six South Surrey-White Rock candidates take turns addressing submitted questions. support a supplementary pension for seniors, all candidates – who each had one minute to respond – agreed seniors’ support is integral. Marlatt said his party would support such a plan, while Watts pointed to work the Conservatives have done on the issue, including tax credits for seniors and pension income-splitting. Colero said “I honestly don’t know” if his party would support a supplementary
pension plan but suggested implementing a “guaranteed livable income” for seniors as an alternative to multiple pension programs, which he said “could overlap.” Hobby used the question to address various seniors issues, suggesting an “overhaul” of the national health-care plan and a seniors-housing strategy is necessary, and also pushing for the cancellation of the i see page 8
Advance voting way, way up Early birds were out in force for the Oct. 19 federal election, with an estimated 71 per cent more voters Canada-wide making it to advance polls last weekend than in the 2011 election. Elections Canada estimates that 507,920 people voted in B.C. polling stations, up from 259,278 in the 2011 vote. In South Surrey-White Rock, 12,105 (16% of eligible voters) voted early, compared to 7,635 (9%) who used the advance poll in 2011 prior to redistribution of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale. In Surrey-Newton, 10,658 (17%) voted last weekend, compared to 5,781 (8%) in the previous Newton-North Delta riding.
Stolen pickup trucks alleged by integrated auto-crime team
Police swarm property in ‘chop shop’ probe Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Investigators cordon off property Tuesday.
THANK YOU r your Golfers & Friends fofor our 16 pg support! See
HUGE GOLF SALE!
A ‘chop shop’ investigation led officers from multiple police units to flood a rural South Surrey property this week. Two men, aged 34 and 43, were arrested in connection with the operation, located in the 2300-block of 176 Street, which police say was being used to dismantle stolen pickup trucks.
“Most vehicles stolen in B.C. are recovered so it is unusual to find an operation like this where stolen vehicles are being dismantled and reassembled to appear as a legitimate vehicle,” Insp. Peter Jadis of the Mounties’ Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team said. The investigation came to the public’s attention on Tuesday afternoon, when officers with IMPACT, Surrey’s RCMP Auto
Crime Target Team, Lower Mainland District Police Dog Services, LMD Integrated Forensic Identification Services, the Urban Patrol Helicopter and ICBC’s Special Investigation Unit converged on the property to execute a search warrant. They blocked off a portion of one lane just south of 24 Avenue and, just after 2 p.m., cordoned off the area with yellow police tape. i see page 8

Frustration over delays
Mourners march as they wait Three months after Hudson Brooks was fatally shot by police outside the South Surrey RCMP detachment, friends and family are planning to march in the young man’s honour. Sunday’s rally – set for 4 p.m. at 18 Avenue and 152 Street, where Brooks was killed – is meant to keep his death in the spotlight, according to a post on the Justice for Hudson Facebook page. It will take place three months to the day that Brooks, 20, was shot by RCMP officers in the early morning hours of July 18. According to police, a struggle ensued between Brooks and the officers, who were responding to reports of a man screaming; Brooks was shot, an officer also suffered a nonlife-threatening Hudson Brooks gunshot wound. remembered Investigators confirmed two days later that only police-issued firearms were found at the scene. Following Brooks’ death, his family expressed anger at the lack of information from investigators, and that shortly after the shooting RCMP labelled Brooks as “suicidal”. Last week, officials with the Independent Investigations Office acknowledged the wait is “incredibly frustrating” for the family, and expressed their own frustration with the pace of lab results. “We are still waiting for firearm analysis related to files from December 2014,” spokesperson Kellie Kilpatrick told Peace Arch News by email. “Those we expect from the national lab this December. We have identified this delayed timeline as a significant issue and are looking to see if there are other options.” Reports related to the Brooks’ investigation are not expected “until minimally the new year.” Investigators continue to seek witnesses to the hours leading up to Brooks’ death. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-855446-8477 or 778-988-1041. – Melissa Smalley &Tracy Holmes

Development Cost Charges set to increase in White Rock after years-old call for review
Raised building rates ‘still low’ Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter
The City of White Rock has launched a review of its Development Cost Charges (DCCs) bylaw, and while the proposed increases to the fees charged to developers are significant, the city’s rates are still expected to remain among the lowest in Metro Vancouver. The city’s DCCs – fees charged to applicants for new developments, meant to help the city recover costs of infrastructure required as a result of growth – were outlined in a report to council Oct. 5 by Dan Huang, senior planner at Urban Systems, along with proposed figures. The review marks the first time in nearly 10 years the city has updated its DCCs, according to Huang, who outlined the formula used to calculate the rates, which are broken down into single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial and industrial. The DCC rate is calculated by dividing the units of growth by the DCC recoverable cost (the total program costs minus the portion
allocated to existing development and the municipal assist factor). The proposed rates for White Rock – charged per unit for residential and per square metre for commercial and institutional – are $10,757.75 for single-family (currently $5,602.26); $6,812.15 for multifamily (currently $4,011.36); $25.55 per sq. m for commercial (currently $13.54); and $18.09 per sq. m for institutional (currently $8.70). Though the increases are described by Huang as “fairly significant,” the proposed rates still put White Rock among the lowest in Metro Vancouver, something that raised concerns among two councillors. Coun. Lynne Sinclair asked Huang if the rates will still be too low after the review process, pointing out it was the council of 2005-’08 that first voted to review and increase the city’s DCCs, a process only getting underway now. “If we don’t do it right this time, is it going to be another 10 years?” Sinclair asked. “I’m a little concerned about that.”
Coun. Helen Fathers said she was concerned residents would wonder why the city couldn’t charge more of applicants. Huang explained that because the rates are based on a specific formula, legislated by the Local Government Act and the DCC Best Practices Guide, the city can’t determine its own rates. “There’s a technical process. You can’t artificially make them low and you can’t artificially make them high,” Huang explained, noting most municipalities find their DCCs too high. “It’s the amount of growth in a specific community and then the capital infrastructure required to service that growth.” Council voted to give first reading to the proposed bylaw; Huang will now prepare a background report and undertake community consultation, including a forum set for Oct. 29, 6-8 p.m. at the White Rock Community Centre. After third reading, the bylaw would require provincial approval. Huang said adoption of the bylaw should take place in early 2016.

Grandview Heights-area residents received practical tips on home and personal safety last week, during a crime-prevention seminar organized by area Block Watch groups. The Oct. 7 seminar featured RCMP and local security experts, who addressed topics including identity theft, social media and ways to make your home less attractive to thieves. Organizers say despite crime statistics, the Grandview neighbourhood is routinely targeted by those with nefarious intentions. One of the most disturbing of late was the Aug. 12 sexual assault of a senior in her home. A Langley man was arrested early last month in connection with that attack. A key message last week from Const. Amber Briggs and Cpl. Stephen Jardine regarding phone and Internet scams was simply to be aware and ask questions. Briggs also cautioned attendees

Two local business associations are calling for crime to be part of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Agenda. Surrey Board of Trade officials – also representing the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce – are to raise the issue this weekend in Ottawa,
at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Convention. The move, according to an SBOT news release issued Wednesday, is in response to a decision that two local resolutions regarding the costs of crime on business – one dealing with prolific offenders
and the other a sex-offender rehabilitation – would not be included in a policy book for convention delegates. Federal government policy resolutions are to be debated in front of more than 700 boards of trade, chambers and business leaders at the convention.
“Why I’m Voting for Pixie Hobby...” Veterans, Mothers and Small Business Owners for NDP Candidate in South Surrey-White Rock.
Pixie Hobby 32 Years as a Federal Environmental Lawyer
for South Surrey-White Rock
“I, like many other voters in this election, have foregone my traditional ballot choice and opted to support the best candidate, one who can stand up for local as well as personal issues. As a soldier for 30 years and having suffered through the promises of many politicians, Pixie is the only candidate who has voiced strong concerns about the treatment of veterans and their issues. Tom Mulcair has personally agreed to reverse a number of pension and retirement irritants to the satisfaction of many veterans’ groups, thus earning my support for Pixie Hobby in this election.” Major (retd) Don Robertson, OMM, CD White Rock, BC
As a small business owner for 10 years, I am excited that we have a candidate like Pixie Hobby, with decades of experience in Ottawa, who genuinely cares about the success of local businesses like mine. Plus the NDP’s economic plan is very strong, introducing a new tax credit for small business owners and fighting to keep jobs in Canada. Yousseff Khattab, Owner, King Koin Laundromat White Rock, BC
The Best Chance to Defeat Steven Harper
Make Your Vote Count, Vote Pixie Hobby.
When Pixie knocked on my door, I was thrilled to discover a politician who resonated with me for the first time. She was open to learning how she could best serve my family. As a full time single mother, my opportunities are limited. The NDP’s $15 a day child care will provide me the freedom to return to school and create a solid foundation for my family’s future. Between allocating $250 million to new grants, and ending interest on student loan’s, I can move forward confidently while providing my daughter a stable quality of life.

Major changes are coming for bus riders next year when TransLink reconfigures numerous routes in anticipation of the opening of the Evergreen extension.
In seconds!
TransLink to rejig routes ahead of Evergreen extension
An inexpensive alternative to Murphy Beds
Bus overhaul unveiled Jeff Nagel Black Press
TransLink has unveiled a major reconfiguration of bus routes and is asking for public input on what it has proposed. The extensive changes are being driven in large part by the opening of the 11-kilometre Evergreen SkyTrain extension from Burnaby to Port Moody and Coquitlam next fall. That requires a major rejig of bus routes to connect to the six new Evergreen stations, but it also means buses that currently run on the 97 B Line to the Tri Cities will be redeployed elsewhere. TransLink has been steadily “optimizing” its routes each year to better fit the buses it has to evolving rider demand – sometimes triggering complaints about reduced local service – but with 85 changes proposed, this is the biggest overhaul in years. “The reason there are so many changes all at once is to get ready for the Evergreen extension,” said spokesperson Jennifer Morland. “That’s really going to change the landscape for transportation and transit as a whole.” South Surrey-White Rock could see some of the most extensive changes, which would restore allday 30-minute bus frequency on key routes that had been cut to one-hour frequency. Two different options have been put out for public comment there – one stressing improved service to local neighbourhoods while the other would instead put more
service on commuter routes that take passengers in and out of the South Surrey area. Morland said that’s the main area where TransLink is still weighing significant tradeoffs before choosing a preferred option. Some of the other significant changes that would be rolled out in 2016 include: • The 394 bus along King George Boulevard between Surrey Central and White Rock will get increased rush-hour service with limited stops. It won’t be B-Line level service, which TransLink would have delivered there if the transit sales tax referendum passed. But it’s expected to be a significant improvement. • Tsawwassen routes are rejigged to reflect the expected opening in 2016 of the huge new Tsawwassen Mills mall. The 620 route to the BC Ferries terminal from Bridgeport Station, which handles 90 per cent of the foot passengers coming off the ferries, will become a limited-stop service. • The 509 route from Langley will run over the Port Mann Bridge, relieving pressure on the overcrowded 555 route from Langley’s Carvolth Exchange to Lougheed Station. • The 595 in Langley will now run along 208 Street instead of 200th to serve growing rider demand. The 501 will still run on 200th. Elimination of the TrainBus service that mirrors the West Coast Express at additional times when
the commuter train doesn’t run. Instead, improvements are promised to the 701 bus connecting the Evergreen Line station at Coquitlam Centre to Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Mission. • Conversion of the 135 bus along Hastings in Vancouver and Burnaby to a B-Line express bus, and an improvement in service toward the B-Line standard along 41st Avenue. When the Evergreen extension opens (TransLink is no longer calling it the Evergreen Line), SkyTrain passengers will be able to ride from Coquitlam or Port Moody without transfer to VCCClark on the Millennium Line. The SkyTrain section currently called the Millennium Line from Columbia in New Westminster to Production Way-University will become a branch of the Expo Line. Passengers boarding southeastbound SkyTrains in Vancouver or Burnaby will choose between Expo Line trains bound for King George if they’re heading for Surrey or else ‘Expo Line to Production Way-University’ to reach stations such as Sapperton or Braid. Passengers taking SkyTrain between Surrey and the Tri Cities will have to transfer twice, at Lougheed and Columbia stations. Morland said none of the changes are final and comments are being accepted until Nov. 6 at www.translink.ca/tnc The website includes maps and details of the route changes in each area.

rivers distracted by their cellphones are routinely lambasted for the dangerous activity, and rightly so. The risks of engaging in the practice are huge, even if it’s only for a moment – in short, it’s lifethreatening; the second-leading cause of carcrash fatalities in B.C., according to ICBC. But more and more, it’s becoming evident that drivers are not the only ones who are distracted on the road. Pedestrians, too, are guilty of the practice, of not paying attention to where they are going and the dangers around them. The fact is, pedestrians have an important role to play in their own safety, and activities such as talking and texting while crossing roads is risky business. Too often, pedestrians can be seen simply continuing their pilgrimage across a busy intersection or crosswalk with their eyes glued to their cellphones. And while they may afford a short glance up to confirm that they have the signal to cross, they forge ahead without a second thought to checking if drivers have actually seen them. Anyone who has been a pedestrian can attest to the reality that drivers don’t always see them, and can easily cite close calls they’ve experienced or witnessed as a result. But by the same token, many drivers can recount incidents of pedestrians simply stepping out in front of moving vehicles, oblivious to anything, save for the message they’re busily composing or reading on their smartphone. The habit can be similarly frustrating – though far less life-threatening – in stores and shopping centers, when people focused on their phones plow into those walking ahead of them. Some of ICBC’s tips for drivers can easily be applied to pedestrians who are navigating busy streets: leave your phone alone; and if you do need to use it, pull over to a safe, out-of-theway location to do so. Penalties already exist for jaywalking. Perhaps additional penalties should be considered for pedestrians who put themselves and others at risk because they won’t take their eyes off their cellphones. The bottom line is, safety is everyone’s responsibility, whether they’re behind the wheel or out for a stroll, and no text or phone call is worth someone’s life or limbs. We would all be well-served to hone our focus.

space to the masses. His use of social media, his photographs from space and the recording of David Bowie’s Space Oddity have made him perhaps the most recognized and renowned astronaut of the modern era. His description of holding a guitar in the weightlessness of space was entertaining, as was the mention of the slight rewriting of Bowie’s song (with his permission, of course) – “The astronaut died in the original version. Couldn’t have that!” An interesting aside to the song was that Hadfield had requested that NASA in Texas provide a guitar for the space station. Oddly enough, what was provided was a small instrument made right here in the Lower Mainland. Couple that with the Canadarm developed in Richmond, Hadfield’s basic military training in Chilliwack and his first university experience at Royal Roads in Victoria, and our province has played a prominent role in the exploration of space. Now retired, Hadfield lives in Victoria with his family. What led him to become Canada’s most celebrated astronaut? He was nine years old when, in 1969, he watched the first men walk on the moon and determined that he wanted to go into space, too. Set a goal, he said, and do everything you can to achieve it. He did just that, and the world – and space – is a better place because of a nine-year-old’s determination to succeed where few have gone before.

‘Barbaric’ backlash Editor: Re: ‘Barbaric cultural’ tip line criticized, Oct. 9. It is well known that 911 calls to any police department are only utilized in cases of emergency where police are expected to attend on an urgent basis. They are classified as lifethreatening situations, including medical emergencies, serious crimes in progress and serious-injury motor-vehicle accidents. It is surprising that federalcandidate Judy Higginbotham has attacked new legislation with a tip-line component with the intent to prevent harm to women and children. She is entitled to voice her criticism and opinion but advocates the best tip line ever is to call 911. She also says a tip line would be another burden on the RCMP. This does not appear to be a rational conclusion, as routine calls to the police on 911 would not only be a burden but a disruption to emergency police services. Higginbotham refers to the new legislation as a tattle-tale line. She does not consider that this legislation addresses crimes that are not normally reported through fear of reprisals, and police efficiency depends on information received from the general public. Bill Parrott, Surrey Q The act referred to is intended to prevent polygamy, child marriage and taking children or nonconsenting adults out of Canada for forced marriage abroad. If Dianne Watts wishes to become a member of Parliament, she should have a much better understanding of the important issues in this country. Watts may think “we have a record of being international leaders in dealing with such issues as child exploitation and human trafficking.” However, the Conservative government has done little about child exploitation. Watts need only look at the situation in Bountiful, a polygamist community near Creston, which has been in existence for many years. Polygamy and child exploitation has been on going for decades, yet the Conservatives have done little to deal with this abhorrent and continuing situation. Watts quotes the party line on this issue and, in so doing, shows her lack of knowledge. Ian Routledge, White Rock Q Recent legislation was passed by Parliament aimed at protecting women from brutal customs such as ‘honour killings’, and unacceptable practices such as prearranged marriages. A hotline has been established to help those who feel they are trapped in this cultural cycle of repression, and are desperately looking for help to escape. In typical federal Liberal fashion, this help line has been callously dubbed a snitch line. The fact that Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are willing to use isolated and marginalized women as pawns in a political game to further their own fortunes should
come as no surprise to anyone. The fact that candidate Judy Higginbotham has stooped to this level herself probably speaks to her level of desperation as election day looms. Let’s hope voters recognize these antics for what they are. Glen Gerow, White Rock Q I am delighted that Dianne Watts and the Conservative government of Stephen Harper are out to do something about barbaric cultural practices and are proposing a tip line. Here’s a tip. Near Creston, B.C., in the Bountiful Commune run by Winston Blackmore and Warren Jeffs, polygamy is standard practice. Young girls are bullied into marrying much older men. Cult leaders conduct a lively trade across the international boundary, trading their daughters and nieces with like-
minded men in Utah and Arizona. Blackmore himself has more than 20 wives. Hundreds of children are denied a school education. This has been going on for decades and nothing has been done, in spite of plenty of RCMP reports and evidence. Time to stop talking and start acting. Mind you, these folks are fundamentalist Mormons, not Muslims. Bill Piket, White Rock

Making way for a sidewalk. another old tree was brought down. The tree was not in the centre of the planned development but closer to 24th. Its diameter at the widest point was 1.4 m (4.7 feet). I know because I measured the stump. Why did it need to come down, I asked. To make way for a sidewalk. Personally, I’d have been willing to walk around. We can do better! Deborah Stacey, Surrey

I have decided to vote based on the greatest number of signs along the roadside…a Keith Bates
Tracy Holmes photo
Both the number of election signs – and the vandalism of them – have inspired letter writers to comment.
Signs of these political times Editor: It has come to my attention, many times over the past few weeks, that political signage along the 24 Avenue corridor has been vandalized and defaced. I find these to be targeted attacks, and completely disgusting and juvenile. I am appalled at the behaviour of these individuals and hope the general public keeps their eyes open and reports witnessed vandalism to the police. I guess ignorant people don’t get that the wood shards and nails left from their destruction could harm my dog as I walk her through those areas. All I can say is “idiots”. Keri Earnshaw, Surrey Q For almost two months now, I have watched the signs for the Conservative candidate being systematically and thoroughly vandalized. What exactly is that going to accomplish, apart from being very frustrating to the volunteers in charge of signs? Seeing as not a single sign for the Liberal or the NDP candidate has been maltreated only shows me that the conservative-leaning part of the population has a lot more class and understanding of the political process than the opposition. A word to the nitwits doing the damage – flattening the signs does not change anyone’s mind. Terry Williams, Surrey While walking down 16 Avenue last month, I was furious to see workers erecting a Conservative sign, but destroying the signs of another party in the process. I gestured to them, but they ignored me. Is this a good example of politics or fair play, for anyone, especially young impressionable voters? C.R.E Harding, White Rock Q I have been watching since the election writ was dropped some very dirty politics. Taking the high road in life is always the route to take. The damage to election signage needs to be condemned, but is rife in the riding of South SurreyWhite Rock. It seems obvious when one candidates signs
are damaged and other candidates signs are untouched. The Criminal Code addresses this offence differently than simple public mischief, and with a different penalty. This is no way to win an election. Ron Eves, White Rock Q A Conservative supporter came to our office, noting that a number of Dianne Watts signs had been knocked down and that NDP and Liberal signs were still in place, and suggested that there might be a connection. In fact, as I explained, a number of our signs have also been damaged. However, we have a crew that goes out at 6 a.m. every morning to replace signs, so the appearance of having our signs untouched does not reflect reality. On behalf of the Pixie Hobby campaign, I want to state our condemnation of any sign destruction regardless of the party concerned. Peter Ferris, Surrey Q I am disappointed we have to tolerate the barrage of candidate signs in South Surrey along the roadways and on the medians, one after the other, all for one particular candidate. Fortunately the other two candidates have the common sense and class to know that more is not always better. This very thing happened the last civic election. Yes, they won, but how’s that working for us? I don’t see much change in crime and I still don’t see more “boots on the ground” or the other election promises. Think about it before you vote, folks. All is not gold that glitters and plasters signage without end. F.G.M. Smith, Surrey Q As an undecided voter, I made a decision that will help me out of my dilemma. On my way to work, I have decided to vote based on the greatest number of signs along the roadside. After making this decision, it was obvious to me who is the clear winner. I will be voting RE/MAX.

Anti-terror bill attacked, defended at all-candidates debate i from page 1 planned change to the age of qualification for Old Age Security pensions, to 67 from 65. Higginbotham agreed on returning the age to 65, and said the Liberals would work with the provinces to enhance the Canada Pension Plan, “unlike (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper, who doesn’t meet with the premiers very often.” Higginbotham was not the only voice to criticize the incumbent leader. Marlatt took issue with an earlier statement from Watts about her party’s proven commitment to infrastructure improvements. “We’ve seen a lot of filling potholes being called the Canadian Action Plan, but that isn’t infrastructure, it’s maintenance,” he said. Watts drew boos from the audience when the subject of environmental protection was broached – something the former Surrey mayor referred to as “a highly loaded ques-
tion.” (The moderator later noted the question came from an elementary school student.) On same topic, Hobby made repeated references to Harper’s party “gutting” the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, calling it “shameful,” while Colero called Bill C-51 – the Conservatives’ Anti-Terrorism Act passed in June – “a wrecking ball to democracy.” Colero, Hobby and Marlatt said they would scrap Bill C-51 entirely, while Higginbotham – whose party supported the bill – said the Liberals would repeal “problematic elements” of it because “some of it is quite Draconian.” Watts defended the bill, saying it “further strengthens law enforcement” but noted she would be open to listening to criticisms. “If we can do better, I’m open to listening, but it has gone through and it is law,” she said. Watts and Hobby were the only candidates who said a balanced budget in the first year of the next government is vital. The other
three suggested immediately balancing the budget would, in the words of Marlatt, “bind the hands” of leaders with regard to investing in infrastructure and other programs. Colero said: “Anyone can balance the budget by selling the house and not feeding the kids.” Watts said her party has balanced the budget while still providing $84 billion for infrastructure improvements, and she touched on the topic of supporting small businesses. “When I hear the Liberals say that small business is a tax haven for the rich, it’s an affront to the (thousands) of small-business owners in our community,” she said. Higginbotham said her party is committed to balancing the budget by 2019, but in the meantime would invest in small business, boost taxes for the wealthiest one per cent, create more jobs and ensure all Canadians earn a living wage. The 1½-hour forum ended with each can-

didate reading a closing statement, which most used to outline their platforms. Marlatt also used his three-minute slot to further criticize Watts, calling her a “falling-star Harper candidate” who “is being embarrassed by her party”; Hobby said the NDP would “re-prioritize federal spending” putting Canadians first; Higginbotham reiterated her party’s stance on infrastructure investment; Watts pointed to her years of work in the community as both a city councillor and mayor; and Colero encouraged voters to “elect people with integrity.” The meeting was hosted by the chamber, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and CARP. The Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing provided interpreters. The final all-candidates meeting is set for noon Saturday, hosted by the Canadian Federation of University Women at White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.).

Whether it’s raising funds for the state-of-the-art Centre for Active Living, helping dreams come true by supporting the Make-AWish Foundation or promoting active lifestyles with KidSport, Christopherson has witnessed no shortage of generosity from residents and businesses on the in a coffee shop, working at the Semiahmoo Peninsula. office, coaching a team or hanging In planning this year’s Vintage out with a group of friends, there Affair, which takes place Oct. 22 is likely at least one person affected at Hazelmere Golf and Country by this illness,” Montgomery said, Club, Christopherson said the noting that popularity, success, foundation came to realize there is financial security and family a facet in the community that’s in support can sometimes mask an desperate need of more support. “Over the past year, we’ve all been individual’s struggles. “Although there are scenarios struck by a number of stories about that can make an individual more the impacts of mental health in susceptible, there is no stereotype our community,” Christopherson to identify which people are said. “While there are some great suffering from mental resources that exist in ❝There is no illness.” the Peninsula area, it’s Montgomery said clear that more can be stereotype to removing the stigma done to raise awareness identify which associated with and end the stigma people are mental illness, which surrounding mental suffering from can often prevent health.” mental illness.❞ someone from seeking The issue of mental help, is paramount. illness is one that South Sara Montgomery So is educating the Surrey resident Sara community about the Montgomery is all too symptoms of mental illness and the familiar with.

Starting a conversation about mental illness, she said, is part of the “pro-active approach” needed to address the issue throughout the community. “I suspect every home in our community, in one way or another, has been affected by this illness,” she said. “Together we can group our efforts to prevent further pain and suffering that has been at the hands of mental illness.” Tickets for Vintage Affair – which will feature 30 vintners and food pairings, entertainment and door prizes – are available online at www.peninsulafoundation.ca

A Treatment that Aims to Remove Internal Scar Tissue Internal scar tissue is a common, yet often undiagnosed or misunderstood condition causing signi%cant pain and mobility limitations. Cold Laser Therapy is a promising treatment, triggering the body’s natural ability to overcome internal scar tissue. Cold Laser Therapy for Internal Scar Tissue Cold Laser erapy delivers light energy to the area of the injury, which helps the body to break down and dispose of scar tissue and replace it with normal healthy tissue. e light based energy of Cold Laser erapy can reach places that a massage based approach may have a more dif cult time reaching.

Internal scar tissue is a condition impacting many individuals with signi cant pain and resulting mobility limitations. But it’s often not recognized as that -- even by experienced healthcare professionals. Diagnosis is hampered by the fact, that internal scar tissue doesn’t typically show up as di erent from surrounding normal tissues in X-rays, MRI and CT scans. However, it can be seen during surgery and if it’s close enough to the surface, it can be felt to the touch by practitioners speci cally trained in internal scar tissue detection.
Cameron Finds Relief After Years of Post-Surgical Pain in his Knee Cameron is a very active and vibrant young local realtor, as well as a competitive martial artist. About 4 years prior to visiting Solaj, Cameron sustained a major injury during one of his competitions when he was kicked in the back of the knee, resulting in a complete tear of his ACL. At that time, Cameron underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL, and to his relief at the time, the surgery was considered “a success”. However, as time went on, although it had been declared “structurally normal”, Cameron found that his knee was not really returning to full pre-injury capability, which was understandably frustrating for him since he had been so used to being very active and he didn’t want to stop competing. Even after going through a rehabilitation program, his knee remained weak, unstable and in pain during activity. Unfortunately, this prevented him from being able to fully return to martial arts. When Cameron came to Solaj, he was understandably skeptical that anything would work for him since his knee had been troublesome for four years. However, after learning about the potential of Cold Laser erapy for post-injury healing, he decided that the potential upside was worth the investment of the time and money. So he took the plunge and began treatments. e Cold Laser erapy treatments for Cameron’s condition aimed to reduce internal scar tissue that built up in his knee, from his ACL injury and the surgery. Aside from the visual scars left behind from the incision points of his surgery, internal scar tissue (which is a natural process that happens as a result of injury or stress) was also embedded in the tissues inside and around the joint, not allowing his knee to function properly, resulting in the symptoms he was experiencing. When Cameron started Cold Laser erapy, he began to experience improvements after just a few treatment sessions. After Cameron’s second treatment, he noticed that the incision scars felt less thick than before. After his third treatment, he decided to test his knee and go for a walk, as well as try some medium intensity martial arts activities. He reported back to us the following week that he felt no pain and his knee felt very stable during both activities. ese early results were quite encouraging. He was looking forward to another week of Cold Laser treatments in anticipation of a more strenuous test of his knee’s improvement: A two day intense martial arts workout coming up the following weekend and he was really hoping to be able to fully participate.
And so he did, without virtually any of the symptoms he had been having for the previous four years. He felt like his knee was gaining it’s strength back and was almost back to normal. We continued with two more treatments (for a total of eight treatment sessions), to ensure any residual scar tissue was eliminated so that his symptoms would not come back. Every once in a while, Cameron still stops by our clinic to say a friendly hello and to mention that he is still continuing to train hard and compete at a high level. Go Cameron Go! We recorded a video of Cameron sharing his experience. In the video he says:
“About 4 years ago, I tore my ACL doing a sporting event. The surgeon – while they did a very good job – the knee never fully recovered. I’ve sort of been struggling to get back to training and trying everything from physio, to exercise, to just ignoring it, to you name it. I met Doctor Mel about a year ago and she invited me to come try out Cold Laser Therapy treatments and I thought ‘Sure, why not? I’ve tried everything else, what’s one more thing that doesn’t work?’ And I was stunned because after 6 treatments, I went and did a very intense 2 day workout and I had none of the problems I’ve had for the last four years, it was incredible.
Cameron, during a Cold Laser Therapy treatment at Solaj
So if anybody is even thinking about it, come out and give Doctor Mel a try, see what they can do at Solaj – it worked for me — after 4 years of trying!”

DCCs are monies collected from land developers, by a municipality, to offset some of the infrastructure expenditures incurred to service the needs of new development. Imposed by bylaw, the charges are intended to finance City’s capital projects related to roads, drainage, sewers, water and parkland. The DCC program provides the City with an opportunity to identify growth-related projects and proportion the costs accordingly to the development community.

Cineplex collecting donations Oct. 24 for Community Day
OFF
Free movies offered this month Cineplex theatres across the province are set to take part in the company’s fifth ‘Community Day’, which will feature a morning of free movies at a number of locations, including Surrey and Langley. On Saturday, Oct. 24, a lineup of movies – including Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, Pitch Perfect, Hop, and Dumb and Dumber To – will
be screened. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. with movies starting at 9. Donations will be accepted, with proceeds supporting Free the Children, an organization that supports education initiatives for youth around the world. In addition to donations collected, all proceeds from concession sales – a number of items will be priced at just $2 – will support the cause.
“Community Day is a wonderful way for families across Canada to spark conversations about getting involved in making positive change in their communities,” said Marc Kielburger, co-founder of Free The Children. “We are proud to partner with Cineplex on initiatives that bring families together, and empower young Canadians by giving them the
tools to create transformative change and fuel their passion for making a difference.” Included in the list of 22 participating theaters across the province are Cineplex Cinema locations in Langley, Strawberry Hill in Surrey, and more in Burnaby, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Richmond and Vancouver.

All Rotary clubs and districts are eligible to apply for grants to support sustainable activities with highimpact outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus. Following are just a few examples of how the Rotary clubs of the Semiahmoo Peninsula are employing foundation funds to impact the world. The Rotary Club of South Surrey has drawn support from The Rotary Foundation to assist in two international projects. The first involves the upgrade of an orphanage school in Battambang, Cambodia and has directly impacted the lives of 32 children. Up until the project began, these children were living in very decrepit buildings, with no electricity, a

minimal kitchen with no running water, and open pit toilets. They now have a functional kitchen space, a garden, water, electricity, and boys and girls toilets linked to septic fields. The second international project came to light while members of the club were in Bangkok and Cambodia working with the orphanage project. They became aware of Baan Bang Boon AIDS Hospice, run solely by one woman and funded by her own resources and whatever minimal donations she could scrape together. Contained in this single room were the most deplorable conditions you could imagine – wire beds with no mattress, and an open sewer literally running through the middle. The club took immediate action to fund and advise on the construction of facilities and relocation of patients. Meanwhile, the Semiahmoo Rotary Club has received district grants to build a picnic shelter in the South Surrey Athletic Park, and to distribute grinding mills to alleviate malnutrition in rural Haiti. In 2015, the club was also successful in an application for a global grant, which enabled the distribution of more than 150 wheelchairs to recipients in Hermosillo, Mexico. This included delivering wheelchairs to 115 children with disabilities – utterly life-changing for these children and their families. Want to help? We would love to have you join us.

TOONIE TUE$DAY!
Surrey housing prices jump Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A combination of shrinking inventory and increasing demand from abroad has Surrey’s housing prices booming, according to a recent real estate report. A Royal LePage House Price survey released Wednesday shows housing prices in the last year have jumped by eight per cent in Surrey. “A significant amount of housing demand in Surrey is being driven by homebuyers coming from China,” the report says. “However, inventory in the area has not kept up with increased demand.” During the year, condominium listings fell by 0.5 per cent and bungalow listings dropped by 30
per cent. “As a result, the aggregate home price has seen a strong increase of eight per cent, year over year, to $619,554,” the survey says. Bungalows in Surrey are now averaging $565,010, an increase of six per cent over the same time last year. Two-storey homes are now averaging $714,578 (up 9.1 per cent) and condominiums inched up 2.5 per cent to $228,667. Regionally, housing price increases were higher, averaging a 12.9 per cent jump through Metro Vancouver to an average of $928,532. Some of the bigger increases in Metro Vancouver were seen in Richmond, where homes skyrocketed by 20.2 per cent to
$813,355, and Burnaby, where it will cost 18.4 per cent more to get into a home, which now averages $832,411. Vancouver home prices shot up by 15.9 per cent to $1.1 million. The Royal LePage House Price Survey provides information on the three most common types of housing in Canada in 53 of the country’s largest real estate markets. Housing values are based on the Royal LePage National House Price Composite, produced quarterly through the use of company data in addition to data and analytics from its sister company Brooksfield RPS. The report is at www.royallepage.ca/realestate/info-and-advice/ market-reports-and-surveys/

It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of Henry Block on October 7th from complications of Parkinson’s disease. In the days leading up to his final breath, Henry was surrounded by his loving family and friends praising the Lord in song and prayer. He received loving tender care from the staff at Care-athome which allowed him to spend his final days at home. Henry was born in Borden, Saskatchewan on May 28, 1926, the second son of John and Helen Block. In 1936 the family moved to Yarrow, B.C. in search of a better life. Henry was a born entrepreneur, he loved to “wheel and deal”. He often would say that “he had nothing but nerve”. At the age of 13 he made money selling pigeons and rabbits, at 17 he started his own cartage company, “Victory Messengers”, at 19 Henry was selling real estate and at 23 was managing a car lot for American Motors. In 1955 at the age of 29, Henry and his younger brother Arthur opened the first sales office for Block Bros. Realty. Over the
next 23 years the company became one of the largest and most successful real estate firms in Canada. In the early 80’s Henry’s priorities changed. He began to spend more time sharing his faith and supporting various community projects that helped people in need. He traveled the world with his wife Laura sharing the “Jesus Film” through the support of Campus Crusade for Christ. He also loved to host Christmas dinners for seniors at his farm in Langley and other events that brought joy to his family and community. In 2013 Henry was presented with the Diamond Jubilee Medal in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne in recognition of his contributions to Canada. We will remember Henry for his love of family and friends, his generous spirit and most importantly as a man who loved Jesus. Henry will be greatly missed by his large blended family. His loving and devoted wife Laura, daughter Mary-lynn Kaulius (Eugene), son John Block (Rose), daughters Katherine Van Kampen and Lory Block, Terri Richert (Harold), Linda Knowles (Wayne), Jacqueline Martin (Daniel), his brothers Jack (Lena), Arthur (Lauradel), his sisters Helen Nickel (Jacob deceased) Anne Willms (Walter). Henry was predeceased by his sisters Erna Ens (Alvin) and Elvera Wiebe (Peter deceased) and his grandson Matthew Pudlas. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to one of the following charitable organizations that Henry and Laura have supported over the years. Sources Food Bank in South Surrey or the food bank in your community, Dalit Freedom Network Canada, Union Gospel Mission, Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society, Parkinson Society British Columbia, Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ Canada), A Rocha. A memorial service will be held at Peace Portal Alliance Church 152nd Street and King George Hwy in Surrey on Saturday, October 24th at 11:00 a.m. Messages can be left on Henry Block’s tribute page, www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca

Both have also vowed to cancel the Conservative plan to raise the eligibility age for Old Age Security payments from 65 to 67, which would not take full effect until 2029. OAS is not a pension plan, but a taxpayerfunded program that pays $565 per month for all seniors, in addition to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) that provides up to $766 per month to qualifying lowincome seniors. OAS is progressively taxed back for seniors whose combined income from other sources exceeds $72,809. In an interview last week, Harper said his government has provided the biggest increase in the GIS in 25 years, and defended the move to phase in a higher eligibility age for OAS, starting in 2023. “We’re doing, frankly, what most other Western democratic countries do, make adjustments based on demographics,” Harper said.

Peninsula band set to celebrate 50 years since they first rocked out
Salesman review
Crosstown Bus still riding high Players’ Alex Browne Arts Reporter
Contributed photo
Crosstown Bus, set to celebrate their 50th anniversary, features (left to right) Jeff Boyne, Deirdre Lacroix, Rick Gannon and Brian Anderson. But how many times do three guys who first got together to rehearse some tunes in high school still manage to rock out together – and like it – 50 years afterwards? While Crosstown Bus isn’t quite 50 yet, the fact remains that Anderson, guitarist Jeff Boyne and drummer Rick Gannon are three-quarters of an original group – then named Mark IV – that got together at their school in
Penticton in 1965. The one ringer in the current group is electric organist-vocalist Deirdre Lacroix, who Anderson met through church connections and who joined the band in 2007. “She was born the year we first get together, so I guess this is an anniversary for her, too,” Anderson said. The original trio still have a faded snapshot of the group from 1967, when an organist

t’s a sign of bravado (perhaps even a Willy Lomanesque conceit) for a struggling amateur-theatre troupe to open its season with an all-time-classic of the U.S. theatre. In the years since 1949, when Arthur Miller penned Death Lance Peverley of a Salesman – the story of one family’s tragic attempt at the American dream – it’s been dissected and analyzed, winning a Pulitzer Prize and repeated Tony Awards for its multiple Broadway revivals starring a pantheon of thespians in the role originated by Lee J. Cobb: George C. Scott, Dustin Hoffman, Brian Dennehy and, in 2012, Philip Seymour Hoffman. In the White Rock Players’ Club production, we are introduced to Willy Loman by way of club president Fred Partridge, after the proud patriarch has been demonstrating telltale signs of age. Willy and wife Linda (Jane Mantle) acknowledge, at least to each other, the struggles of simply paying their bills on his meagre travelling-salesman commissions. This is all the more heartbreaking, as the once-promising City of New York – indeed their country – seems to have boxed them in. The return of prodigal-son Biff (Tom Gage) alongside his outwardly more-successful brother, Happy (Edwin Perez), completes the dysfunctional Loman-family › see page 29

We all know the fate of the garage bands of our high school years – or just about any collaborative group in music, for that matter. Bolstered as members may be by initial ambition and encouraging crowd response, the average band has a shelf-life of two to three years. Bickering, divergent musical tastes, and the conflicts of touring and rehearsing versus the inevitable demands of personal relationships, parenthood and the need for steady, gainful employment all take their toll. Not so with South Surrey-based Crosstown Bus, which just seems to keep on trucking down the road playing a mix of classics from the Beatles/Woodstock era, along with their own originals. Next stop is the Columbia Theatre, 530 Columbia St. New Westminster, for the band’s 50th anniversary party, 8 p.m. Oct. 24. It’s a followup to a successful 50th anniversary party earlier this year in Penticton’s Orchard House, and the indications are they will sell out the larger space in the Columbia quite handily. Still acknowledged by rock critics as a cornerstone group from Vancouver’s exciting rock scene of the late-’60s and early’70s – historically the first band for whom legendary promoter Bruce Allen negotiated a record contract – they have weathered changes in style and trends but have still retained a youthful enthusiasm for the music they grew up with, without trying to be a stale recreation of other acts. “We don’t want to just replicate the songs,” noted bassist Brian Anderson. “We want to make it sound like Crosstown Bus.” Sure, the wheels have come off a few times, people have got on and off at different stops, and the bus itself was up on blocks for a three-decade spell.
named Don Siemens was part of the lineup. They stand in front of their band van proudly in Beatles-like suits and haircuts and skinny ties, acknowledging the inspiration they all drew from the ‘British Invasion’ that galvanized the pop scene of the ’60s. It was an era, Gannon recalled, when the excitement of rock ‘n’ roll was palpable, when new records were coming out every week, when local radio DJs would record and air bands like Mark IV and new acts were regularly highlighted on television by established hosts like Ed Sullivan. “I’m pretty sure those suits were your idea,” growled Boyne, staring at Gannon, in continuation of what one senses is five-decadesold banter. There’s another picture showing Crosstown Bus in 1970 – hair grown long, in the billowysleeved blouses of that era. By that time, Gannon had moved on – the original Mark IV wound down in 1968 – but the same year had seen the birth of Crosstown Bus in Nelson. “Jeff and I hooked up with Crosstown Bus when we went to university in Nelson,” said Anderson. “It seemed like a good thing to do while we were in university.” “We didn’t think we’d be doing it all these years later,” Boyne added. The band gigged across the Kootenays and the Okanagan, but the turning point came when they were introduced to Allen at a Penticton gig in the summer of 1969. By September, they were in Vancouver, on an exclusive development deal with Allen. “It was a handshake deal, the only way he would do business,” Anderson said. “He said if it has to be written down, it means you don’t trust me,” Boyne said. “You could trust him implicitly.” “We developed so much with › see page 28

‘Animalistic’ version of vampire › from page 26 Helsing (Kathryn Stewart), King has opened the door on intriguing possibilities for a feminist re-think of their conflict – and an opportunity to intensify the play’s subtext of 19th and early-20th century sexual repression – though neither avenue is fully explored in the present production. While this was the play that established a smooth, aristocratic take on Count Dracula, King has chosen to take a further risk in emphasizing a more animalistic aspect of the vampire. Those expecting the suavity of Bela Lugosi – and later, even more romantic interpretations – may be surprised by the unsettling freakishness of Maguire’s performance, enhanced by a stunning stage effect that I won’t spoil here. Whether this works will be largely a matter of taste. In any case, no matter what approach is taken with Dracula, it rests on Van Helsing to supply the ballyhoo for this particular ‘freakshow’ – establishing both tone and pace for the piece. Unfortunately, while the red-haired, statuesque Stewart undoubtedly cuts a fine figure as the re-imagined Van Helsing, in the performance I saw she lacked the requisite intensity and focus to drive the action at key moments, and didn’t develop sufficient momentum to propel the plot past all logical objections. The show’s Jonathan and Lucy serve the script well, however. After a somewhat bleating beginning, Masson settles nicely into the role of Jonathan, turning what could be a stock character into a genuinely touching figure, while Maloway’s nuanced, thoughtful performance – particularly as Lucy falls further under Dracula’s spell – demonstrates anew that she is a talent to watch for in future. Dracula will also be at the ACT in Maple Ridge from Oct. 27-31.

› from page 25 Bruce – he gave us so many opportunities and was so supportive,” Anderson said. It was a golden era of such Vancouver venues as the Smilin’ Buddha and Oil Can Harry’s, and such characters as Allen himself, who quickly cornered the music scene in the city. And Anderson and Boyne say they’re proud to have been part of that legendary scene. “We opened for the first rock show at the Commodore, which was Mitch Ryder in 1971 – which means that we were actually the first rock band to play the Commodore,” Anderson said. They also worked with David Foster who co-produced their first album High Grass – “the first record he engineered for another band,” Anderson said – although, in retrospect, members feel the music they wrote and recorded for their second album is more representative of the band at its height. Things inevitably went a little sour business-wise, particularly when Allen began to focus on one or two bands, including Bachman Turner Overdrive, at the expense of other acts on his roster. “There was more left for us to do on our own, issues with recording contracts and more

In August 1974, Crosstown Bus played its last gig at The Zodiac Club, after which the members, including Anderson and Boyne, decided to call it quits and pursue other careers. Although each has enjoyed business success in the nonmusical world, they stayed involved in music – but they acknowledge it wasn’t until they got together with Gannon again in 2004 that they felt the “old spark” and decided to work up a set list and return doing live shows.

‘Polished production’ on stage › from page 25 dynamic, and sends Willy further into his dementia-laden spiral through the shrouds of his past. I admit it was with trepidation that I entered the Coast Capital Playhouse, having been less inspired than some, two years earlier, by their heavy-handed version of another Miller classic, The Crucible, also directed by Ryan Mooney. There are certainly risks in staging such a well-known tragedy as Salesman, particularly as the club has struggled in recent months to fill its seats (no more evident, sadly, than at the gala opening night last week). The casting of Willy Loman could be seen as another – given Partridge’s greater focus, in recent years, behind the scenes – as Salesman would surely misfire without a commanding lead. Fortunately, Partridge embodies Willy’s deluded arrogance as a father, and, later, his resentful pathos as he approaches the senior years, allowing nearly all of the supporting cast to complement his proficient performance. The two sons, in particular, bring a naturalness to the dialogue that is rarely seen at this level of amateur theatre, especially during their brotherly exchanges. Gage’s Biff tests Willy’s emotions and memories, while Perez’s Happy selectively recreates his father’s positive outlook.

The Loman family, in WRPC’s Death of a Salesman.
Mantle, as Willy’s enabling wife, raises both our sympathy and our ire, showing Linda’s hapless struggle to help her delusional husband rediscover his previous deluded path. Supporting characters add to the club’s triumph. Sean Malczewski impresses as seriousminded Bernard, most notably when we see the results of his studiousness; Josh Fuller plays two diverse smaller characters – employer Howard and waiter Stanley – that deliver, quite naturally, the tone needed in each case; and Ken Cross as Willy’s brother, Ben, and Heather-Jane Robertson as The Woman set the scenes’ respective moods with each of their definitive entrances. Katherine Naylor and Krystle Hadlow also provide solid characterizations as Happy’s potential dining companions, though, admittedly, I missed the all-too-timely ‘working girl’ aspects of their roles. Lighting (Guy Paterson) and sound design (Gordon Mantle)
also deliver, as does the set (Eleanor Gibson), all adding multiple layers and dimensions, and adding filmic transitions rarely seen on this stage. And the period costumes (Laura McKenzie), set dec (Andrea Olund and Heather Harris) and props (Naomi Mitchell) properly supplement the proceedings. Salesman isn’t without its minor miscues, none more evident than the unnecessarily on-the-nose sound effect and reaction to Willy’s last exit. And as successful as Partridge is in finding his character’s voice, one might hope for a few more vocal variations as he delivers Willy’s more subtle mood shifts. Likewise, as strong as all three ‘youth’ are as adults, their childlike energy could be tempered, if ever so slightly. Lastly, Brian Wilson as Willy’s friend and foil, Charley, seemed to lack the clarity of his convictions, at least in the second night of the show’s run. Charley has worked hard for his success, whereas Willy puts his faith in a nice smile and a shoeshine – yet Charley still shields Willy from responsibility. A beautiful character on the page. All in all, Mooney and producer Rebekah MacEwan have put on a polished production worthy of both its script and audience. It’s on stage at Coast Capital Playhouse (604-536-7535) until Oct. 24.

Coastal FC finishes fourth in girls championships
United wins U16 nationals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
Cloverdale-based Surrey United gave their hometown fans plenty to cheer about Monday, after capturing a national U16 boys soccer championship at South Surrey Athletic Park. Battling rainy conditions, the team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of 10 taking part in the Canadian soccer championship, which began last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; won gold with a 3-0 victory over Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â??Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Woodbridge waited Strikers. almost two â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve waited years for almost two years this.â?&#x17E; for this. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Rob Wilson been building and building and Surrey United itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely massive for these kids who have been dreaming about this for a long time,â&#x20AC;? said Surrey United head coach Rob Wilson. Meanwhile, on the girls side of the U16 bracket, Coastal FC â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the B.C. champions and also official host team of the tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201C; placed fourth, losing in semifinals 2-0 to Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lakeshore SC. In the third-place game, Coastal lost to Alberta representatives, Calgary SWU Napoli â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;99. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were definitely hoping to win, but to be top-four in the country is pretty good,â&#x20AC;? said Coastal FC coach Steven Duffy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was happy with the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts. They gave it their all. After the third-place game, they were exhausted â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â they had nothing left, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more than that.â&#x20AC;? In the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tourney, Surrey Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charge at the title was led by Noah Dasilva, who led the tournament in scoring with six goals, including two in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final against Woodbridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dasilva has been an absolute handful for any fullback and again he showed (Monday) that he is one of the best dribblers in the nation right nowâ&#x20AC;Ś i see page 32

After four weeks of play, the Valley West Hawks are the only undefeated team in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. The Hawks swept the Vancouver Canadians last weekend by scores of 4-1 and 3-2, and with a 5-0-1 (win-losstie) record, are second only to the 6-2-0 Vancouver Giants in the standings. The Hawks, coming off a bye week Oct. 3-4, make up their two games in hand on the Giants next weekend in Nelson against the 1-4-1 Kootenay Ice, and could take over first place next week. Valley West head coach Jessie Leung said his team was rusty for the first period of last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at the Langley Events Centre. The Canadians scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal after seven minutes of play, but Ben Evanish of the Hawks tied the score before the first intermission with his league-leading eighth goal of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked to be a step behind and were over-complicating the game,â&#x20AC;? said Leung. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preached â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;elite execution of simple playsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all season and I thought we got away from that to start. All told, we played our worst period of hockey all season and still entered the break tied 1-1.â&#x20AC;? Valley West stepped up their game in the second period, scoring a go-ahead goal just 30 seconds into the session and an insurance marker with 72 seconds remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We connected on two odd-man rushes,â&#x20AC;? Leung said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our players were rewarded for attacking the net like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve drawn up in practice.â&#x20AC;? Armahn Sidhu netted the first goal, and Josh Bruce notched the second. Luka Burzan added the fourth Hawks goal into an empty net, his third point of the game. The Hawks scored once in each period of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch in Coquitlam. Evanish scored his ninth goal of the season 11 minutes into the game, but the Canadians tied the score 1-1 in the last minute of the first period. i see page 34

Surrey United’s Dasilva scored six times in tournament
however, and came close to getting on the board in the second half when a free kick from 25 yards out struck the Surrey crossbar and stayed out of the net. Earlier in the tournament, Surrey cruised through the round robin with a perfect 4-0 record, and in semifinals, defeated Calgary Foothills 1-0 to advance to the championship match. Like their male counterparts from Surrey, Coastal FC also went undefeated in the round-robin portion of the U16 girls event, earning wins over Manitoba’s FC Northwest and Prince Edward Island. In the semifinal contest against Lakeshore, Coastal FC controlled the play for long stretches, but the Quebec champs stayed committed and disciplined on defence, which didn’t give Coastal FC much opportunity for offence. Lakeshore – which went on to win the gold medal – got both goals from striker Alexia Remillard. The game was even closer than the 2-0 score would indicate, Duffy said, as Lakeshore’s second goal, via penalty kick, didn’t come until the 85th minute. “It was definitely a close game – a game of inches,” Duffy said, adding that he was extremely proud of his team, and how far they’ve come since losing in provincial semifinals as U-14 players. After losing to Lakeshore, Coastal lost the third-place game to Calgary.

After their weekend in Nelson, the Hawks will face-off against the Giants in what will likely be a showdown between the top two teams in the MML. Ben Evanish, from White Rock, is tied for fourth in the MML scoring race with 12 points, including a league-high nine goals. Luka Burzan, a Surrey resident claimed sixth overall in last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft by the Moose Jaw Warriors, is also tied for fourth with 12 points.

Surrey sits last in BCHL’s Mainland Divison
Eagles need overtime to snag win in Victoria Sports Reporter
It took a little extra time, but the Surrey Eagles managed to add another win to their total last weekend on Vancouver Island. On Saturday in Victoria, the Eagles edged the hometown Grizzlies 2-1 in overtime, giving the team two out of a possible six points on the weekend. A day earlier, at South Surrey Arena, Surrey lost 6-1 to the Chilliwack Chiefs, and on Sunday afternoon – less than 24 hours after their OT win – the Eagles dropped an 8-4 decision to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in front of more than 600 fans at Cowichan’s Island Savings Centre. Surrey now sits last in the BC Hockey League’s six-team Mainland Division with three wins and eight losses in 11 games. They are, however, just eight points back of the first-place Langley Rivermen. Against the Grizzlies – who sit in the BCHL cellar with just one win thus far this season – Surrey notched the win when Darius Davidson scored the winner at
the 1:05 mark of the second overtime frame. Neither team scored in the first period, and John Wesley, with a power-play tally, gave the visiting Birds a 1-0 lead in the second. The one-goal lead held until Victoria got a power-play of their own early in the third, and P.J. Conlon beat Daniel Davidson to tie the game. Power-play goal aside, Davidson was otherwise perfect, stopping 37 of 38 Victoria shots. Surrey managed just 28 shots on goal themselves. The tightly contested, low-scoring affair was a far cry from the team’s other two games over the Thanksgiving long weekend. On Friday at home, the Eagles fell behind 2-0 to the Chiefs after 20 minutes, and were down 3-0 after two periods of play. In the third, Surrey’s only goal came from Wesley, while Chilliwack tacked on three more, including one on the power play. The Eagles finallly got their offence in gear Sunday, peppering Cowichan netminder Storm Phaneuf with 41 shots, though the Pen-

The Capitals scored twice in the first two minutes of the game, and lit the lamp twice more in the second period, though Surrey managed to tie the game 3-3 before the second intermission, on goals from Darren Hards, Donovan Ott and Gunnar Wegleitner.

NEW HOME WARRANTIES “The purchase of your home is an extremely large financial commitment, so you should have the highest expectations for its quality and coverage.”
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Comprehensive coverage helps keep your home protected By Nicolle Hodges
Moving can be stressful, especially if it’s into a new house. One thing that can make it easier is to understand your rights when it comes to home warranties and making sure your builder is covered. It boils down to a cost effective home warranty program, which include multiple assessments during construction to reduce or eliminate claims repair costs. According to Progressive and Pacific Home Warranty, a home warranty is designed to cover hidden defects: things that, with reasonable and careful inspection on the completion date, would not yet have been revealed; or defects that occurred after the residential unit was complete. As a minimum, homes built by Licensed Residential Builders must have 2-5-10 year home warranty insurance. Mandatory warranty insurance includes the following: ◾ 12 months’ coverage for defects in material and labour for your unit ◾ 24 months’ coverage for defects in material and labour for major systems (heating, electrical, plumbing, etc.) ◾ 5 years’ coverage on the building envelope, including coverage on unintended water penetration ◾ 10 years’ coverage on major structural items It’s important to stay in the loop and know exactly when your coverage starts. Progressive states that
your warranty start date is the earliest of the following: date of actual occupancy, the date any occupancy certificate was granted, or the date your new home is completed and ready for occupancy. It’s also important to keep in mind that there are items excluded from warranty coverage. Some examples include contractual items of your Purchase Agreement; materials or items supplied by the purchaser instead of the homebuilder; incomplete work; and other exclusions. Not necessarily everything submitted on a deficiency list will be covered by warranty either, such as additional contractual items outlined in the Purchaser’s Agreement.
Once a claim for deficiencies to your home is submitted, the homebuilder has the right to complete any repairs first. A home warranty agency like Progressive & Pacific Home Warranty will help ensure proper repairs are completed in a timely manner. Governments now set the standards of coverage, commencement dates, exclusions and limits on coverage to ensure clarity and a consistent consumer protection. To learn more about consumer protection legislation and regulations, visit www.hpo.bc.ca. And visit www.progwar.com for more on the home warranties offered through Progressive & Pacific Home.

MARTIN, Paul
June 29th 1925 – September 27th 2015 Paul went peacefully in to the arms of his Lord and Saviour after having his body ravaged with Alzheimer’s related dementia for 18 years. Praise God he now has a new body. Raised in Sunningdale, Surrey, excelling in sports at school, he met the love of his life Pauline (Brocks) at the age of 13. He and Pauline had just celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary and 77 years of having their lives entwined. At the age of 17 he volunteered for the Fleet Air Arm and after initial training did his flight training in Yarmouth, N.S. Next posted to Lord Louis Mountbatten’s fleet, he consequently spent the next two years in the Japanese war zone, witnessed the Japanese surrender and was active in freeing people from concentration camps and Changi Jail in Singapore. Home again, marriage and in 1947 he and Pauline started a new life in Canada. Paul eventually joined the fledgling Royal Canadian Naval Air Service in which he served for 25 years, in N.S., London U.K. and Winnipeg, surviving an aircraft accident and winning the highest suggestion award ever given to a serviceman. Retiring in 1975 he and Pauline set off on a year’s trip around the world, voluntarily working at mission stations wherever they had connection. In 1986 they decided to make White Rock their home base, from where they worked for eight years with the Roving Volunteers in Christ’s Service all over the U.S.A. Then in 1996, with a group of Baptist volunteers went to work in a refugee camp in Croatia after the Bosnian War. Unforgettable! Many cruises were enjoyed as they aged.
Left to mourn our great loss, Pauline, their 3 children Penelope (Bert), Sheelagh (George), and Adrian (Jackie); 6 grandsons Paul (Sarah), Liam (Janelle), Joel (Nicole), Brian (Alison), Dorian, and Simon (Chantal); and 14 great-grandchildren. Grateful thanks are extended to the staff at Come Share adult day care and for the last 3 ½ years for the love and care he received at The Residence at Morgan Heights, especially from the staff in Promenade West.
Paul’s body has been donated to U.B.C. Faculty of Medicine. A family Celebration of Life will be held at Christmas.
Grace Mae Petrie (Robinson) May 26,1925- October 7,2015 Born May 26, 1925, passed away Wednesday October 7 at Peace Arch Hospital with loving family members by her side. Grace is survived by her sons Don(Lynne)and Robert(Mary), and daughter Brenda McIntyre (Steve), grandchildren Kelly, Whitney (Jeff), Adam(Erin), Steven, and great grandchildren, Owen, Reed, and Lucas. Grace was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Donald John Mackay Petrie in July of this year. For many years Grace was active in her local church in White Rock. She took great pleasure in travel, sports, gardening and flowers and described herself as “being more artistic, than interested in business and numbers”. She was the last surviving member of 7 Robertson sisters. The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Lourens Perold, the nursing staff and students at Peace Arch Hospital, and the kind caring staff of Chartwell Crescent Gardens, Surrey, B.C. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Crescent Gardens Activity Centre. At the request of the deceased, no service will be held.
