MAN FATALLY SHOT OUTSIDE FAMILY HOME IN NEWTON ▶ SURINDERPAL SINGH HEHAR GUNNED DOWN IN VEHICLE ON SATURDAY KEVIN DIAKIW
One man is dead and another injured after a shooting in Newton on the weekend. On Saturday, just after midnight, police were called to a home near 152 Street and 66 Avenue after shots were heard in the area. When police arrived, they found two men in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. One of them was unresponsive and despite their best efforts, rescue crews could not revive him. As of Monday, the victim had not been named by police, but the Surrey Field Hockey Club is identifying him as Surinderpal Singh Hehar.
Surinderpal Singh Hehar was killed on Nov. 21. continued on page 5

Tax credit urged to spur food bank donations ▼ MOVE WOULD CUT WASTE AND HELP THE LESS-FORTUNATE, ADVOCATES SAY JEFF NAGEL
The chair of Food Banks BC is backing a proposal to create a federal tax break that encourages businesses to donate more food to local charities. Marilyn Herrmann, who is also executive director of the Surrey Food Bank Society, said there are “endless” amounts of usable food that could be retrieved from restaurants, grocers and other suppliers that now throw it out. The National Zero Waste Council proposes the federal government create a new tax credit for businesses linked to the fair market value of food they donate to charities such as food banks, shelters and soup kitchens. Herrmann said while many businesses already strive to donate usable food, such an incentive could prod others to both save money and help put more unused food to good use. “It’s not even waste, it’s perfectly good food,” Herrmann said. “Something that may just be undersized according to
food.”

Five Conservative MPs from the Lower Mainland have been named as critics in the Official Opposition’s shadow cabinet. Former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, in her first term as South Surrey-White Rock MP, was named critic for infrastructure and communities. Langley MP Mark Warawa will track seniors issues. Veteran Abbotsford MP Ed Fast, the former government’s longtime minister of international trade, is the Opposition critic for environment and climate change. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl is critic for fisheries and oceans, and the Coast Guard. Re-elected Richmond MP Alice Wong is small business critic. The appointments were made Friday by interim party leader Rona Ambrose’s shadow cabinet. Dianne Watts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named three Liberal MPs from B.C. to his cabinet earlier this month – including new Delta MP Carla Qualtrough, who was named Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities. Vancouver MPs Jody Wilson-Raybould and Harjit Sajjan were named Justice Minister and Defence Minister, respectively.

Report of domestic disturbance leads to drug and gun charges NGS AT THE SURREY OUTLET! KEVIN DIAKIW
Police often say there’s no such thing as a “routine” call, and a series of incidents earlier this month serves at testament to that. On Nov. 12 at about 6 a.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a report of a domestic disturbance in Guildford. When police arrived, the suspect had fled the area with a female purportedly confined inside a vehicle. A short time later, Mounties received a call of a single-vehicle accident at 148 Street and 80B Avenue. The driver was taken into police custody and the female, who knew the driver, was
returned to her family. During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded AK-47 assault rifle, a restricted handgun, and a large amount of a substance believed to be cocaine and heroin. Police subsequently learned that two youth who heard the crash went to offer assistance. They were allegedly given a fully loaded firearm and asked to hide it. The two youth took the gun home and gave it to their father, who in turn called police. Saleh Mohammed, 22, has now been charged with 15 offences, including forcible confinement, uttering threats toward police, possession of a prohib-
ited weapon, possession of a restricted weapon, careless use of a firearm with ammunition, possession of a prohibited device and possession for the purposes of trafficking. He remains in custody and is scheduled to make his next court appearance on Nov. 25. “The arrest of this individual is significant not only in disrupting the activities of those involved in the local drug trade, but also removing such dangerous weapons off our streets,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Paul Hayes. “These criminals have a careless disregard for public safety and our detachment and community will not tolerate their actions.”

▶ RESTAURATEURS ARE WORRIED ABOUT LIABILITY from page 3
A report by the National Zero Waste Council doesn’t estimate how much lost tax revenue a new credit might cost Ottawa. But it projects a range of benefits that would result from a more efficient food system. One of those benefits would be less organic waste going into landfills. Metro Vancouver estimates the drop in garbage resulting from the tax credit would mean reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 275,000 cars off the road. Metro Vancouver regional district directors vote Friday on whether to endorse the idea. BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association President Ian Tostenson Ian Tostenson said the biggest worry for restaurateurs donating food to charities is ensuring it stays food safe and doesn’t make anyone sick. “If they can get through the issues of food safety and sanitation, I think it’s a great idea,” Tostenson said. “I don’t think business even needs a tax incentive to do it. I think they’d just do it if they can do it in a way that doesn’t create liability.” Other critics have suggested the tax break could lead to businesses dumping unusable food on food banks – increasing their disposal costs. “There definitely are challenges to this, no question,” Herrmann said. “You have to have the capacity to handle the volumes of food that are being offered to you.” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, who chairs Metro’s Zero Waste Committee, said the tax credit would be worthwhile, even if it’s not a silver bullet curing food waste. “Our hope is this would lead to a far bigger uptake and get a lot of that edible food into the hands of charities that can divide it up and use it effectively.” An estimated 170,000 tonnes of edible food – equivalent to 300 million meals – ends up in Canadian landfills every year. In monetary terms, that’s an estimated $31 to $107 billion of waste in the production, shipping and fair market value of the food. Meanwhile, Herrmann and Food Banks BC are pressing the B.C. Liberals to keep a promise they made in the 2013 election campaign. The party’s platform committed the provincial government to “give growers a tax credit of 25 per cent of the wholesale value of food donated to a food bank.” Herrmann said that would be a useful incentive that both helps farmers and encourages them to donate produce and fruit that could help feed the needy. Undersized apples that are good but too small for retailers are a prime example of what might be contributed in larger volumes instead of being dumped

▶ SITE TO PROCESS KITCHEN, YARD WASTE from page 1
The facility will convert kitchen and yard waste into renewable natural gas (RNG), which in turn will fuel the city’s natural gas waste collection trucks and service vehicles. It will also provide a renewable fuel for the city’s new district energy system in City Centre. The facility will also produce a compost product that will be suitable for landscap-
ing and agricultural applications. The facility can receive and process 115,000 tonnes of organic waste annually. When completed, the facility will be the largest of its kind in Canada with a capacity to process all of Surrey’s organic waste. Once the biofuel processing facility is operational, Surrey will be home to the first closed-loop, fully integrated organics waste management system in North America.

▶ SHOOTING IN FAMILY-ORIENTED NEIGHBOURHOOD ‘SCARY,’ RESIDENT SAYS from page 1
He was a man in his 40s and had two young children. He also worked at Deltaport, according to CTV News, and was shot outside of the family home after being picked up for the graveyard shift by a co-worker. Residents of the area say they have been rattled by the shooting. “There’re a lot of kids on this street and it could have happened during the day... And it’s also right across from a school,” one resident told CTV News. “So it’s scary, it’s scary.” There is an outpouring of shock and grief on the Surrey Field Hockey Club website for the loss of Hehar. “It is with profound grief, sorrow, and disbelief, that we announce the passing away of a great friend, a brother, a mentor and member of our club, Surinderpal Singh Hehar, earlier today,” the field hockey club posted on a Facebook memorial. “We, his friends, family members, his hockey fraternity, are all in a state of shock and disbelief at this.” Gutu Sidhu wrote: “Sorry to hear about the loss, our deepest thoughts and prayers for the family. He was a great guy on and off the field and u will be missed by all of us. May your soul rest in peace.” Jassi Jaglit Kular wrote: “I was deeply shocked to hear of the death of Surinderpal Hehar. My deepest sympathy to his family for this irreparable loss they have suffered.. and to members of Surrey Lions Club,
this is to let you know how deeply I feel for you in your sorrow. You have my heartfelt sympathy.” The second shooting victim remains in hospital being treated for his injuries, which are not considered life-threatening. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is now investigating. Investigators believe this to be a targeted shooting, however they say at this point there is no indication the shooting has any connection with any other gun-related investigations in Surrey. “I want to reassure the public that their safety is of paramount concern,” said IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. “IHIT investigators, Surrey RCMP and other Lower Mainland investigative units are working to determine the circumstances that led up to this incident.” Anyone with information regarding this investigation can call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your anonymous tip information on the web at solvecrime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477. ~ with files from CTV News

▼ LET’S SEE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WALK THE WALK WHEN IT COMES TO REFUGEES
Everyone deserves peace
It is a great gesture to accept so many refugees. But I hear so many people saying that Canada should accept them. Well, Canada is made up of people and as such, the people of Canada have to accept the refugees. It is easy to say we should accept them and then dump it on the province and the cities and towns that are ill-prepared for such an influx. So I have a suggestion: Let our government show the way. I call on our prime minister, his (our) ministers, the MPs, and all those who voted in favour of accepting refugees to open their hearts and their homes, to walk the walk and not only talk, and then let others take over. I believe this would be very appropriate and in the so-called Canadian spirit. As a footnote, the minister and MPs would be mostly in Ottawa so there would be room in their dwellings.

VIEWPOINT
Lights out for opponents of Site C BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
The fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the Opposition NDP agreed to turn out the energy-efficient lights and head for home. NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced “PowerBC,” billed as the NDP’s “bold, progressive plan for the future of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.” Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he can’t say how many. How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? “The costing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election,” Horgan replied. Whatever the cost, the NDP plan
apparently rests on the assumption that the $9-billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP government after the 2017 election. That money would be used to build wind and solar generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam. The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero. Construction of an access road started two months ago, site clearing and work camp construction a month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construction contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year. Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project. The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Site C twice, in the B.C. Supreme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lake’s construction company has started work on a Site C contract.
West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat. Flooding land for hydro dams does elevate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below federal guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish. It’s an odd coincidence that Willson suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C. A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to

the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook. They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas. BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland. If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Man who carried gun in purse inside restaurant loses appeal ▶ GLENN SHECK ARGUED HIS DETENTION AND SEARCH BY POLICE WAS ILLEGAL SHEILA REYNOLDS
A Surrey man who police were concerned was plotting to murder his ex-wife’s boyfriend has lost a bid to overturn his conviction for possessing a loaded, prohibited firearm . Glenn Harley Tetsuji Sheck was arrested in November 2010 outside a restaurant in Newton. RCMP had him under surveillance at the time to determine if information they had about him planning to kill his ex’s boyfriend was true. The boyfriend had been shot six times outside his home in June 2010 and survived. On Nov. 4, 2010, police
entered Earl’s Restaurant for a “licensed premise check walkthrough,” speaking to patrons. Sheck was sitting in a booth alone and officers noticed he looked panicked when they walked in. They also saw him put something under his buttocks, which turned out was his man purse. He also took his driver’s licence out of the bag and had it at the ready when officers asked. As police checked Sheck’s ID, he didn’t speak, and continued to eat his chicken wings, his hands shaking. Police asked him to go outside, where they searched his satchel and found a 9-mm semi-automatic Glock handgun. They placed him under arrest. A judge found Sheck guilty in May 2012. His appeal, which was heard in the Court of Appeal for B.C. in Vancouver in September, focused on the legality of his detention and search by police.
He argued the police investigation was a sham, sparked by a pretend ID check at the restaurant and that his Charter rights were violated and his gun shouldn’t have been admitted as evidence. But three Appeal Court judges sided with the trial judge, who found police had a “subjective belief,” not just a suspicion, that Sheck had a firearm with him and the public and police were at risk. “The ‘ruse’ simply allowed the police to escort Mr. Sheck safely out of the Earl’s Restaurant; it was not the basis for the detention,” wrote Chief Justice Robert Bauman in the Nov. 20 decision. “Rather… the totality of the circumstances founded a legitimate investigative detention.” Justices Edward Chiasson and Sunni Stromberg-Stein were in agreement. Sheck received an 18-month sentence in August 2014.

Two Delta Police officers have been recognized for excellence by the B.C. Municipal Police Chiefs for their work on traffic safety after a series of dramatic truck rollovers. After five separate truck rollovers last
year at Highway 17 and Highway 91, Delta Police Constables John Merryman and Mike Whitely were called in to examine the exact causes. After conducting in-depth analysis, they determined the accidents were a result of truck speed and road design. After consulting with the Ministry of Transportation, Delta Engineering and the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforce-

Since those alterations have been implemented, there have been no truck rollovers near that intersection. “This is another example of our officers’ commitment to public safety,” said Delta Chief Const. Neil Dubord. “Const. Merryman and Const. Whiteley were not satisfied with simply investigating each collision separately. They identified root causes and made positive change happen.”

Among the recipients are: • Surrey RCMP Const. Michael Scoretz, who placed himself at personal risk while dealing with a distraught and aggressive male armed with a knife.
• Surrey RCMP Supt. Manny Mann, Sgt. Sodi Dhillon (currently with Federal Serious and Organized Crime), Sgt. Michael Kim (Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit), Sgt. Stephen Lee and three officers whose names were withheld for displaying exceptional performance and dedication during a major investigation involving a conspiracy to murder key members of a criminal organization (Project E- Patroon). • Surrey RCMP Cpl. Anne-Marie Lavallee, Const. Thomas Flynn and Const. Ranjit Seehra, who separated an aggressive male with a knife from a child hostage. • Const. Andrew Barr (currently with Hope detachment), who placed himself at
personal risk to extinguish a burning motorcycle and save the life of the severely injured rider. Once a year, British Columbia awards those police officers whose remarkable work and brave actions enhance the safety of their communities. At B.C.’s 35th annual Police Honours Night, Lt.- Gov. Judith Guichon and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton presented awards to 66 outstanding officers. In all, 22 officers received the award of valour. These officers made a decision to place themselves at substantial personal risk to save others. Forty-four officers were awarded meritorious service honours, which recognize exemplary performance that exceeds expectations.

Three arrested after teen stabbed in Delta ▶ 18-YEAR-OLD VICTIM IN CRITICAL CONDITION, SUSPECTS FACING CHARGES
KEVIN DIAKIW
Three young people have been arrested after a stabbing over the weekend outside a Delta high school. On Saturday, just after 11 p.m., police were called to Burnsview Secondary after re-
ports of an altercation behind the school in the 7600-block of 112 Street. When police arrived, they found an 18-year-old male suffering from significant, multiple stab wounds. He was taken to hospital in critical condition. Delta Police officers arrested three male suspects under the age of 18 who were attempting to flee the area. The suspects are in custody and under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice
Act, their names will not be released publicly. They are facing charges of aggravated assault. Investigators are confident there is no connection between the fight and the school. The victim and the suspects are known to each other and police say it appears to be an isolated incident – a disagreement between teenagers that escalated to an extreme level. The victim remains in hospital in critical but stable condition.

A man is in hospital after being stabbed in Whalley over the weekend. On Sunday, at about 1:35 a.m., police were called to the Flamingo Hotel at 10768 King George Blvd. after reports of a fight in the pub. During the confrontation, one man was stabbed in the abdomen. RCMP arrived and found the injured man, but the suspect or suspects had fled from the pub. The injured male was transported to hospital by ambulance in serious condition. Police are looking for possibly two suspects involved in the altercation. One of them is described as a white male, approximately 30 years of age, possibly with a beard. Surrey Mounties are seeking the public’s assistance and asking anyone who may have witnessed the altercation inside the pub, or observed the suspect males fleeing the scene, to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Woman hurt after smashing car into a tree A woman was taken to hospital Friday morning after her BMW crashed into a tree in North Surrey.
At just after 9 a.m. on Nov. 20, emergency crews responded to the single-vehicle accident near 115 Avenue and 138 Street. They arrived to find the vehicle smashed into a tree with a woman inside. Firefighters worked for almost an hour to free her. Paramedics then rushed her to Royal Columbian Hospital with multiple injuries. RCMP are investigating the cause. Roads in the area were slippery at the time of the incident.
Fleeing suspect locks down schools Two Surrey schools were locked down temporarily last week while police chased a suspect through Newton. On Thursday, Nov. 19 at about noon, police stopped a man who was acting suspiciously. When approached, he gave them a fake name and ran. Surrey RCMP alerted the school district, which as a precaution locked down Frank Hurt Secondary at 13940 77 Ave and Bear Creek Elementary at 13780 80 Ave. RCMP eventually caught up with the suspect, who was wanted on an outstanding breach of conditions, and the schools were re-opened at about 12:40 p.m.

Growing anxiety over youth stress ▶ ACTION TEAM UNITES PARENTS, EDUCATORS AND HEALTH EXPERTS TO ASSIST STRUGGLING STUDENTS TRACY HOLMES
Ashley Macdonald knows her story may be difficult for people to hear or understand. At rock bottom, she was cutting herself on a daily basis to cope with her anxiety. But there’s a reason she’s sharing the details. “I just want to get my voice heard and I want to spread some hope for other people, stop the stigma,” Macdonald said. “By standing up there and talking about it… that breaks that stigma.” Macdonald, a White Rock resident, got involved with a 60-plus member local action team of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Collaborative shortly after it formed in May, and shared her story at an event Nov. 17 at White Rock Elementary focused on youth and mental illness. A speaker series – a suicide-prevention forum was held at Elgin Park Secondary in August and a resource night took place Nov. 25 at Earl Marriott – was among the team’s efforts to address gaps in timely, co-ordinated access to mental-health services for children and youth. At 19, Macdonald knows the need firsthand. She started experiencing anxiety when she was in Grade 7, but it hit hardest in Grade 10, triggering an eating disorder and pattern of self-harm that landed her in and out of hospital – mostly in – for two years. In school, it was almost routine for Macdonald to be removed from class for her behaviour; behaviour she says was a cry for help that authority figures didn’t recognize or know how to deal with. Cutting, she says, was a blatant expression of, and distraction from, the pain she felt inside. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, such self-injury is more common during teenage years and among females. Those who self-harm are not typically trying to end their life, but to cope with difficult or overwhelming thoughts. While Macdonald felt alone in her struggle, the reality is she’s far from it. Dr. Rummy Dosanjh said statistics show anxiety disorders affect 22.7 per cent of youth locally. “That’s pretty significant. If we don’t address it and we don’t equip people with

‘let’s just breathe for now,’ that would’ve helped a lot.” White Rock Elementary principal Fran Fagan said recognizing that anxiety can be an issue at any age is an important part of steps being taken at her school. Efforts at Fagan’s school now include encouraging parents to walk at least part way to school with their child, to create a time for connecting; teaching deep-belly breathing; and starting the day with a moment of quiet. Students are also taught that the principal and vice-principal’s office is a safe place, Fagan said, pointing to books, stuffies and juice that she keeps on hand to soothe children who come to her. “I’ve had children come in, end up under my desk,” she said. “I leave them until they are ready.” Macdonald described the steps as “absolutely amazing” – polar opposite to what she experienced, but an encouraging sign. With an eye on a career in medicine, she wants others to know there is hope. “I will always be anxious about things for the rest of my life, but I’m learning how to handle that. It doesn’t define me,” she said.

Waiting up to 36 weeks for an MRI scan is better than in some provinces, but it’s still too long for B.C. patients - and that wait should begin to get shorter by the new year. Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced Nov. 18 that with economic numbers improving in the province, funds to extend operating hours for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines in hospitals and clinics. The extra scans should start to show up by the end of the year, and once the increase reaches $20 million a year in 2019, there should be 45 per cent more procedures done than the current rate. Lake said additional evening and weekend operating hours should be in effect in some regions before Christmas. Where private clinics are available, the health authorities may contract work while they’re recruiting more specialists for hospitals. Dr. Stuart Silver,
The premier and health minister have said that the province will expand operating hours for medical scanning machines. LEADER FILE acting medical director for medical imaging at Island Health, said MRI is used for conditions including joint aches and pains to heart conditions to brain tumours. “The information we get can be a game changer in many cases,� Silver said. “We have patients who are booked for surgery who have an MRI, and the MRI suggests that they shouldn’t have surgery.

In October, Black Press reported the average wait for
low-priority MRIs in the Fraser Health region was seven months as of August, and 10 per cent of those patients waited at least 15 months for their MRIs. MRI appointment notifications from Fraser Health go out with prominent reminders to note the year of the appointment because some patients have mistakenly shown up 12 months too soon.

‘All we could do was wait,’ says survivor ▶ PARISIAN CHEF, ORIGINAL FROM SURREY, DESCRIBES CHAOS DURING TERRORIST ATTACK TRACY HOLMES
After experiencing the chaos of the terror attacks in Paris nearly two weeks ago, Lina Caschetto speaks of the “city of love” with fondness. “It’s so beautiful, it has so much life,” Caschetto said last week from her home in the French capital. “It was the place for me that was calling my name.” A graduate of Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary, Caschetto, 31, moved to Paris about 18 months ago to pursue a career in culinary arts. She was at work as head chef at Pas de Loup – a restaurant around the corner from the Bataclan – on Nov. 13, when gunmen entered the packed concert hall just before 10 p.m. and opened fire. Eighty-nine of the
Lina Caschetto (far right) was working as a chef around the corner from the Bataclan when gunmen stormed the Paris concert hall on Nov. 13. At right, Parisians pay tribute to the terrorist attacks. CITRON / CC-BY-SA-3.0
130 people who died that night in Paris were killed in the Bataclan. Caschetto, and the 60 or so diners in the Pas de Loup, learned something terribly wrong was happening when a friend, his arms covered in blood, rushed in, yelling at people to get back – that he had escaped from the Bataclan and there were men with machine guns. In a letter to family and friends assuring them she was okay, Caschetto described the shock and chaos; how the blood on her friend’s arms was not his own. “We were stunned,” she wrote. “People
didn’t know what to do. Some sat still, some stumbled over their chairs and each other, others tried to hide themselves under the tables.” Caschetto recalled pushing people towards the back of the restaurant, seeing people in the street “running in every direction” and sitting behind the metal curtain that shuttered Pas de Loup from the outside, not knowing if it would keep them safe. “We sat behind our ‘iron curtain’ and we waited,” she wrote. “If someone decided to shoot through it, it would have given us minimal protection

but its existence made us feel as if we were in relative safety. “From there all we could do was wait.” In a telephone interview with Black Press, Caschetto described what happened as “horrible” and beyond comprehension. “So many questions about how and why something like that could ever happen, anywhere,” she said. “Things just feel different. They feel heavy, there’s definitely a sense of unease. We’re trying to sort of figure out how to put one foot in front of the other again.” Caschetto said she was surprised that her letter – posted online Nov. 17 by her stepfather – received media attention. She, after all, was not injured in the attacks, nor does she know anyone who was directly affected. She just felt the need to write about it, to “promote an idea of love, an idea of good energy moving forward.” “One thing is certain,
this is a call for help,” Caschetto concludes in the letter. “There are many people in this world who feel unloved and unvalued. I know we can’t individually care for them all, but we need to show those around us that they are wanted.” Getting back to life “isn’t simple”, she said, but “we have to just play it day by day.” “In some ways, I think sometimes when you experience something in such a way, I think it’s hard to forget it ever happened. At the end of the day, we all need to figure out how to move forward. “All we can do is keep living and moving
forward,” she said. “Stopping to visit my favourite cafe in the morning isn’t going to change what happened. So we continue to sit and have our coffee and spend time with the people (we) care about. This is part of how we will heal.” White Rock senior Ian Routledge – who was in Paris when the massacre occurred – said it’s important to show support for the Parisians. He said he and his wife, Jan, walked through the streets the next day and met people who said they would not allow the actions of these cowards to interfere with their
lives. “I’ve never been anywhere near anything as horrendous as that,” Routledge said. “It was devastating and you could just see it in everybody’s eyes. I want to go back and support those people, they deserve to be supported.” Routledge added he has been shocked to hear people oppose Canada taking in Syrian refugees based on “fearfulness and prejudices” after the Paris attacks. “The perpetrators of this heinous act were mostly Belgian and French,” he noted. “They certainly were not refugees.”

Containing winter colour I love the idea of continuing colour into the winter months using outside porch pots. What makes a great outdoor winter pot? It is a beautifully assembled collection of hardy evergreen and deciduous plants that really pop in winter – or it could be an arrangement of unique cut branches artistically displayed in an attractive container. In addition to looking amazing, it needs to withstand the abuse of winter weather (with some protection in the worst GREEN conditions) and SCENE still look great. This whole ▼ idea of winter Brian pots started about 10 years Minter ago in independent garden stores and has blossomed into a mainstream winter culture. Box stores now carry them and for the most part, they look reasonably good, but I consider creating winter containers an art form and like all great containers, no matter the time of the year, they should be so much more than just okay. I would like to see them personalized and brought to a much higher level. Porch pots may be the only
“garden” you have in winter, so let’s make them spectacular. I think Zone 5 would be the target for cold hardiness, which should include about 80 per cent of the Canadian population. As with most things in life, you need to have a strategy for success. Winter presents a very different environment than the one enjoyed during the warm days of spring and summer, so a few key issues need to be addressed. First is the container. You need a sturdy, suitable-sized (45-60 centimeters / 18-24”) container to withstand winter winds and driving rain or snow. The soil needs to be very open and porous, and even if you use a high porosity mix, like Sunshine #4 or ProMix HP, it’s important to add about onethird fine fir or hemlock bark
mulch or sawdust to get the level of porosity you need. In winter, roots survive far better in very welldrained mixes. Excess moisture can damage roots as it freezes. Just the opposite is true when using cut branches. To keep the stems fresh and in place, you need heavy wet soil, and surprisingly, most potting soils, if saturated with moisture, are great. The weight of wet soil will also keep the pot steady in blustery weather. When creating a container of cut greens, you need a mix of greens that will withstand winter cold and not desiccate in windy conditions. Pine is, by far, the best. Both the soft white pine (Pinus strobus) and scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris), blue spruce (Picea glauca) and noble and silver fir (Abies nobilis), when cut in late October and November, should last until the weather warms up in spring. Soft-textured cedar (Thuja plicata) and weeping hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) are nice
The snow and ice season is here… have you checked your tires lately? Tire type, tread wear and air pressure are important factors to consider to ensure a safer driving experience during snow and icy conditions.

looking, but they are more susceptible to drying out. The colour, shape, texture and fragrance of these cut boughs are delightful. Misting them with water occasionally or leaving them out in winter rains will help keep their moisture content at an optimum level. Once you arrange the greens into the style you love, the next step should be layering in colourful stems of shrub dogwoods. I particularly love the vibrant red stems of Cornus ‘Sibirica’ , the yellows of C. ‘Flaviramea’ and the yellow and orange stems of C. ‘Midwinter Fire’. Arranged among the greens, they jump out. The pure white stems of birch, especially ones with nicely textured bark, are fabulous as well. Not to be outdone, the curly willows (Salix ‘Tortuosa’) especially the golden and red stemmed varieties, add a whole new dimension of twists and curls that play with your eyes. This is where artistry brings your arrangements to life – a few focal points work wonders. Large colourful cones, like the long gently curved cones of white pine (Pinus strobus), naturally frosted with hardened sap, are among the best. The long thin cones of norway spruce (Picea abies) are nice to work with too. There are many pine cones that look attractive, like P. ponderosa or its larger cousin P. arizonica, and if you simply touch the tips of each cone with some white latex paint, it creates that fantastic ‘fresh snow’ look. Layering in some colourful berries adds another level of richness to your arrangements. Perhaps the very best are the berries of Ilex verticillata or those of deciduous holly. These also make wonderful zone 4 garden plants. Their vibrant red and now gold berries will make your arrangements rock. If you’d like to bling up your arrangements, and I certainly do, incorporate some larger glass stem balls. I like to use muted tones for a very classy look.
Well-made artificial birds, perched on a few twigs, fit in nicely but avoid any cheesy stuff. Keep your arrangements looking very elegant. In zone 6 and higher, a tropical look is very much ‘in’. To create this look, use native greens and then fill in with stems of evergreen magnolia. Their big rich shiny green leaves and brown undersides add a whole different perspective. These leaves will tolerate light frosts, and they are unique and fun. Large proteas, from Australia and other southern countries, have an amazing cold tolerance and are truly eye-popping as focal points. Exotic dried tropical cones, seed pods and dried foliage add quite a new dimension for an elegant look and a nice tropical Christmas touch. If you love creating living arrangements, the many new compact conifers and broadleaved plants, of all shapes and sizes, offer possibilities we’ve never had before. Tall thin yews (Taxus), columnar boxwood (Buxus ‘Graham Blandy’) and Japanese holly (Ilex ‘Sky Pencil’) are just a few of the uprights that add vertical lift. Fillers, like the orange fluffy Thuja ‘Rheingold’ and T. ‘Golden Tuffet’, add texture and focal points. Spill-overs, such as the compact ‘Gold Thread’ cypress, Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Filifera Aurea’, and the wonderful new evergreen carex grasses, like the new ‘EverColor’ and ‘Everillo’, the rich dark shiny C.E. ‘Everlime’ and the old standby C. ‘Evergold’, just finish things nicely. All of these will tolerate zone 6 and higher. You don’t absolutely need one, but a bow of sinamay looks rather charming spilling over and their tails trailing in among the greens, again playing nicely with your eyes. Adding clear mini-lights or LED lights will make all your porch pots, both cut greens and living planters, really sparkle. I get excited about these amazing creations that we can enjoy for Christmas.

Soccer group is reinstated ▼ SUSPENSION OF CENTRAL CITY BREAKERS IS LIFTED RICK KUPCHUK
The Central City Breakers Football Club (CCB) – and its 2,800 players – is no longer facing disciplinary action from youth soccer’s governing bodies. CCB had been suspended by both the South District Girls Soccer Association (SDGSA), which governs female youth soccer in Surrey and Delta, and the Surrey Metro Soccer Association (SMSA) in late July. After meeting with both youth groups in early August, CCB was permitted to play in local tournaments and leagues while it addressed the concerns raised. Last week, the suspension was unconditionally lifted. “I am glad that the situation took care of itself,” said CCB Executive Director Garry Sangha in a statement. “But I would like to apologize to every single player of the club who might have been affected in any negative way in what was a dispute among adults.” The suspensions were first levied in late July by the two district associations in response to allegations raised by a small group of parents that Central City “made attempts to manipulate” the dates of its annual general meeting and were involved in the “operation of a non-sanctioned spring/summer league.” Working with the SCGSA, CCB agreed to rewrite sections of its constitution and conduct new elections for its executive positions. In return, the club was permitted to play in local Labour Day tournaments, and begin league play a week later as scheduled. Playing outside the Metro Vancouver area was not allowed. “There were a few teams that really suffered,” said CCB President Dr. Harj Dhaliwal. “Neither the BCSA or the districts would sanction them to play out of town. So some teams which were registered in tournaments in the United States lost their entry fees.” Allegations of funding a unsanctioned league were without merit, Dhaliwal argued, conceding that the club was allowing players to play in unsanctioned soccer in the spring/summer season but adding everything was done above board. “They made it look like CCB was the only one doing this,” said Dhaliwal. “We took our model from the Guildford Athletic Club. Players can sign up for both winter and spring/summer soccer at the same time. “CCB isn’t part of the spring/summer league, so we partnered with another club and forwarded them the registration money. It was simply a flowthrough.” To address the concern of manipulating the dates of its annual general meeting (AGM) – it was alleged the 2015 AGM was July 29, while CCB bylaws called for an AGM to be held by June 30 of each year – the entire CCB executive resigned at the suggestion of the SDGSA. A new election was held at a special general meeting last month, with 10 of the 12 former executive members acclaimed to their former positions. “It’s fair to say you can take any constitution and interpret it in multiple ways,” said Dhaliwal. “And there was a small group looking to take power, they didn’t like the way things were being done. “Really, there was no wrong-doing by our club. And ultimately, cooler heads prevailed.”

Encouraging youth to get out and play ▼ REC FOR KIDS DONATES BIKES, SPORTS GEAR TO CHILDREN IN NEED NICK GREENIZAN
The first thing you notice is the space, or lack thereof. At REC For Kids – a non-profit, volunteer-run organization in Newton that collects and refurbishes bikes and sports equipment, then distributes it to children – nearly every inch of available real estate is piled high with sports equipment. In what used to be the living room of the old, City of Surrey-owned house near Unwin Park, bikes – all fixed up and ready for new owners – stand in a line, ready for delivery. Next to the bikes, the dining room is filled with shelf upon shelf of gently-used running shoes; the kitchen, meanwhile contains bags of bike helmets, and each of the home’s spare rooms are jammed full of
ten posters which trumpet the organization’s mission statement. “The vision is right there on the wall – it says ‘every child other donated gear, from figin need will have the sports ure skates and basketballs to and recreational equipment baseball bats, gloves, hockey required to stay healthy, be socks and soccer cleats. active and have fun,” said And then there’s the baseIan Lagasse, one of REC’s ment, which smells strongly directors. of rubber – courtesy of the REC – which stands for Rehundreds of bike tires and cycled Equipment and Cycles tubing that hang – has been operon the walls – and ating since 2007, ▶ “We give has been transand was started formed into a them some by members bicycle repair shop of local rotary mobility.” that would rival clubs, chiefly the any professional DON JAMES Rotary Club of outfit.

vices. The program – modeled after a similar one in Edmonton – aims to get children involved in sports at the grassroots level, and volunteers are just as happy to see a young recipient shooting hoops in a driveway with friends as they are to hear of them registered in an official sports league. “And giving them a bicycle not only gets them out riding but it also helps these kids get to and from their activities. We give them some mobility,” said Don Jones, another director, adding that REC has given away more than 340 bikes this year alone. Refugee families – like the many expected to arrive soon from Syria – are among REC’s many clients, Lagasse said, adding that it’s especially rewarding to help them adjust to a new country. continued on page 23

▶ ROTARIAN DISPLAYED DOGGED DETERMINATION WHILE STARTING PROGRAM from page 23
“They come here literally with nothing, and to one of those children, a bike isn’t just a means of conveyance – not just a way to get around – but it’s
something that allows them to be seen by their peers as being part of the group,” he said. The program was the brainchild of Derek Lucas, a White Rock rotarian who died in
2013. Both Lagasse and Jones are quick to credit Lucas’ dogged determination – especially in the early days – for getting the organization off the ground. “Some of our early
meetings, it was an uphill battle. I don’t know how many times we went to Derek and said… ‘forget it, Derek. It was a good idea, but it’s not gonna fly. We can’t make it go.’ “But he would not
take no for an answer. He just would not accept that this wasn’t going to work.” Lucas’s wife, Donna, is a current director and volunteer, and laughs when she recalls how her husband came
up with the idea for the program. “Our kids grew up and when they were going off to university, he looked around the garage and said, ‘Hey, what about all this sports stuff ?’

“We laid it all out on the front lawn but nobody picked any of it up – bikes, baseball gloves, baseball bats, all of it. Derek didn’t want to take it all to the dump, so he packed it all up and drove around looking for kids to give it to. He just drove around, handing stuff out. “I think that was his motivation, to tell you the truth – to clean out the garage.” Though Donna, Lagasse and Jones admit REC for Kids often feels like a fulltime job – all three are retired, as are many, but not all, of their fellow volunteers – Donna said has a simple answer when asked why all the work is worth it. “What it is, is the look on the kids faces when you give them their bike, or their shoes or skates,” she said. There was one face – one little girl – who all three remember, specifically. A few years ago, a single mother came to REC after being referred there by a social service. Her daughter, about to turn five, had never had a bike before, but was nervous about entering the house. “Her mother said, ‘You’d better come in, because we might be able to get you a bike,’” Donna recalled. “Then the girl said she didn’t want just any bike, she wanted a special bike, like one she’d had a dream about.” The perfect bike, the little girl explained, was to be white and pink with flowers on it, and it needed a basket, streamers and a bell. “And as she’s saying all this, I look over at the bike we have for her, and it’s exactly like the one she’d described,” Donna continued. “She ran in and said ‘That’s the bike from my dream!’ She jumped up and down, she couldn’t believe it. We all had tears in our eyes, and her mother just burst into tears. She said she never would’ve been able to afford that bike. “’You don’t know how much this means to me,’ she said.” For more on Rec for Kids, or to donate any sports equipment or bikes, email recforkids@telus.net or visit www.recfordkids.com

Eagles still struggling to earn a win ▜ SURREY’S JUNIOR A TEAM EXTENDS LOSING STREAK TO 12 GAMES NICK GREENIZAN
A win will have to wait. The Surrey Eagles’ on-ice woes continued last weekend, as the struggling BC Hockey League team dropped an 8-0 decision to the Wenatchee Wild Sunday evening at South Surrey Arena. The loss was the 12th in a row for the Eagles, whose losing streak has now extended beyond a month; the team’s last victory came Oct. 20 against Langley. The losses have dropped the Birds to the bottom of the BCHL’s Mainland Division standings with a 4-21 win-loss record. Surrey is eight points back of the fifth-place Prince George Spruce Kings, and trail the Coquitlam Express by 16 points. Coquitlam currently occupies the final playoff position in the Mainland Division. Defence has been spotty at best for Surrey this season – they’ve given up 126 goals against, which is worst in the league – and while they gave
up another eight against the Wild Sunday, offence was also a problem. The Eagles managed just 18 shots on Wenatchee netminder Chase Perry, who recorded his third shutout of the season. Forbes Ploszaj was between the pipes for the Eagles, and was peppered with 41 shots on goal from the Wild, who were making their first-ever regular-season appearance at South Surrey Arena. The visitors jumped out to a lead early, scoring two first-period goals just five seconds apart. In the third, the Wild scored three more – one at five-on-five, one shorthanded and one with the man-advantage – and did the same in the third period. August Von Ungern led the attack with two goals and an assist for Wenatchee, who jumped into first place in the Mainland Division with the win. Surrey travelled a few hours up the highway for a game today (Wednesday) against the Merritt Centennials, and return home to South Surrey Arena Friday for a home game against the West Kelowna Warriors.

Black touting a ‘safer’ oil-by-rail plan for refinery ▶ ‘DEAD’ PIPELINE PROMPTS PLAN B TO MOVE BITUMEN JEFF NAGEL
B.C. oil refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline – he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead. The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Wednesday at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead,” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which Black said would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitumen at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker – virtually solid – compared to the diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the

In addition to being recognized by TELUS, Crosland has been awarded $2,000 to help further her Internet and smartphone safety initiatives. Crosland, one of five winners from across the country, is a teacher and librarian at Georges Vanier Elementary School, which has a high atrisk student population. Crosland believes Internet safety is not a topic to be taught in isolation and encourages students to use personal devices for learning, incorporating Internet and smartphone safety into her digital lessons while encouraging parents to also engage with their children on the topic.

But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert, but Black said that firm is trying to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different First Nations, he said, but they’re less suitable. Black also criticized the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,” he said, adding the province “rolled over” in guaranteeing generous tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. “I just don’t think there’s much chance,” Black said. “The LNG dream is now fading.” Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream. He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline ▶ “We’re not to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option for in the dirty reaching lucrative Pacific oil business markets increasingly attractive to oil firms anymore. grappling with narrowWe get huge ing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. value add.” Black maintains a DAVID BLACK refinery can’t be built in Alberta itself because of opposition from multinational oil firms that own Texas refineries, and because the large prefabricated modules that can be assembled on the B.C. coast can’t be hauled inland. His proposal would use an unusual technology – adding $5 billion to the costs – that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one-third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world” would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen and forge a political solution for Canada’s energy policy makers. “It cleans the whole industry up,” Black said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business anymore. We get huge value add. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.”
The Cloverdale Gateway building is among the nominees at today’s Fraser Valley Commercial Building Awards. The Nov. 25 event celebrates the best in commercial and industrial construction in the Fraser Valley, with 29 nominations from Surrey to Chilliwack vying for top honours. To be eligible, commercial properties must have been completed between Jan. 1, 2014 and Aug. 31, 2015. Cloverdale Gateway, located at the northwest corner of Highway 10 and 176 Street, is a two-storey commercial building. It was built on a
site that had been vacant for years, languishing behind a chain link fence due to remediation efforts stemming from its previous use as a Shell gas station. Other Surrey nominees include the Guildford Aquatic Centre, Jim Pattison Volvo, Kwantlen University Brewing Laboratory, Sheila’s Bistro, Surrey Christian School and Surrey Main Works Yard. The event is being held at Cascades Casino Resort in Langley. Real estate expert Ozzie Jurock is keynote speaker, and will talk about “The Trudeau Effect on Real Estate.” Tickets available at business examiner.ca

Thomas Keith Thomas Keith Maddocks, 85, passed away peacefully at Langley Memorial on Tuesday, November 17, 2015. He is survived by Yvonne, his loving wife of 60 years; his 3 children, Jane (Doug) Morris, Reg (Lynda) and Kathy (Steve) DuMont; 8 grandchildren, 4 great - grandchildren; his sister, Joyce (Courtney) Foster; brother, Harry and numerous nieces and nephews. Keith was born in Saskatoon, Sask. on July 24, 1930.
At the age of 8, Keith moved with his family to Richmond, B.C. where he, along with his 6 brothers and two sisters, was raised on Twin Hollies Farm. In 1955 he married Yvonne and soon after bought a farm (Maddocks Farms) in Cloverdale, where he shared his love of farming with her. In August they celebrated 60 years on their farm. Keith was a very successful farmer, earning numerous farming awards and holding positions with the Surrey Dyking Commission and the BC Vegetable and Cloverdale Lettuce Co-ops. While Keith was very proud of his children, he had an extraordinary and deep love and pride for all of his grandchildren. “Papa” was a significant part of all of their lives and has had a great impact on each of them. A piece of him will continue to live in each and every one of them. He will be truly missed by all of us. A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30 am on Monday, November 30, 2015 at Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, 16613 Bell Road, Surrey, B.C. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the local charity of your choice. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online Obituary at: www.myalternatives.ca
