Young joins Rasode team Chamber president to run for Surrey city council
By Jennifer Lang Surrey mayor hopeful Barinder Rasode has an ally in Cloverdale’s business community, where Brian Young, president of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, has announced he’s running for city council as part of Rasode’s One Surrey slate. Young was expected to announce to chamber members Tuesday that he’s stepping aside so he can run for Surrey city council on Nov. 15. Young’s decision to run for council came very recently, he told The Reporter last week. But his support for Rasode dates back to the city councillor’s decision to break with her fellow Surrey First councillors.
“I was very proud of Barinder when she had the courage to step out of Surrey First,” Young said. “The hardest thing, when you’re part of a team, is that when you believe they’re not living up to their abilities… when she did that, I reached out to her.” Young said he offered her his support at the time, but the notion of running for city council, either as an independent or as part of her slate, did not cross his mind until much later. He simply wanted to let Rasode know he respected her decision. “That courageous act meant a lot,” he said. For months, Rasode was See DECISION / Page 3

Higginbotham drops Surrey mayor bid
By Jennifer Lang Judy Higginbotham has pulled out of Surrey’s civic election. In a statement issued last Friday, the day nominations closed, she blamed a lack of sufficient time to commit to the obligations of being an elected official. Instead of taking a run for the mayor’s seat, the former city councillor says she has chosen to spend more time with her husband and travel to visit family. She said she remains passionate about issues affecting the city, such as crime, heritage preservation and social reform, and believes there is a lack of mental health facilities. There’s a need for more innovative crime prevention tools in Surrey,
along with more fair access to better transportation, with a made-inSurrey plan, she said. “Surrey is an exciting and growing community that deserves a council that puts service above self,” she said, adding she plans to continue being involved in the community. She was first elected to Surrey city council in 1983 and served 25 years under mayors Bob Bose, Doug McCallum as part of SET, and Dianne Watts. The veteran city councillor had been planning to take another run. She ran in the 2011 civic election but lost. Nominations closed Oct. 10, leaving a healthy list of candidates. There are now seven people run-
ning for mayor: Vikram Bajwa, John Edwards, Linda Hepner (Surrey First), Doug McCallum (Safe Surrey Coalition), Barinder Rasode (One Surrey Electors Association), Grant Rice, and John Wolanksi.
36 for council There are 36 candidates running for Surrey council: Maz Artang – One Surrey Electors Association Saira Aujla – Independent Merv Bayda – One Surrey Electors Association Tanvir Bhupal – Independent Cliff Blair – Independent Michael Bose - One Surrey Electors Association

Two Surrey Decision to run is recent teens killed in Delta crash From page one
17-year-old couple attended Clayton Heights Secondary
By Sheila Reynolds Extra counsellors were on hand at Clayton Heights Secondary this week after two students at the Surrey high school were killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Delta on Monday afternoon. Delta Police said the incident, which involved five vehicles, took place on a hilly curve on Highway 10 between Scott Road and Highway 91 at about 3:15 p.m. Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the preliminary investigation indicates a westbound vehicle crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic. Two 17-year-olds – the driver and passenger in the westbound vehicle – died at the scene. While Delta Police did not name the deceased, friends and family have identified the pair on social media as Chantal MacLean and Cody Kehler – both Clayton Heights students and avid rugby players. Doug Strachan, communications manager for the Surrey School District, said extra counselling sup-
port would be available at the high school should anyone need it. “It’s obviously a devastating impact even to lose one student during the course of a school year,” he said. “But to lose two on the same day, there’s a lot of students and staff affected.” MacLean’s sister said on Facebook that Cody and Chantal were a couple and were on their way to have Thanksgiving dinner at Cody’s family’s house when the crash occurred. “I can’t cry enough tears to make it better. It doesn’t feel real,” she said. “My heart aches.” Another friend who knew the pair said, “Two amazing people taken from us way too soon.” Several others suffered a variety of injuries in the multi-vehicle incident, but none requiring lengthy hospital care, said Swallow. She added traffic analysts continue to work to determine the cause of the crash. – Black Press
widely expected to run for mayor but she didn’t make her official announcement until late last month. Meantime, Young said she met with a myriad of community groups on a range of hot issues, from crime and public safety to concerns in Cloverdale. “She did not campaign,” he said. “She went to learn. She reached out to the safety realm, she reached out to the schooling realm, she reached out to the business realm and learned. I kept hearing from people, ‘She should run.’” Eventually, Young decided she was the best option for mayor in the coming 2014 municipal elections, and realized he had to help her achieve that by running for council as part of her slate. “I am doing a disservice to myself and the community if I don’t step up,” he said. “This is very recent for me. I just decided.” Young, chief operating officer of the Surrey Golf Club and Delta Golf Club, has been active with the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce for several years,
serving most recently as president. A chamber of commerce, he said, can only achieve so much. He wants to act as a voice for Surrey’s business community on council. “My track record shows I will support business,” he said. I strongly believe that the current mayor and council dictate to the people of Surrey, versus listening to them and working with them. I want city hall to be the city’s hall – all of the city.” He agrees that crime is the top priority in Surrey. He said there’s never been a slate like One Surrey, which he describes as a compilation of leaders from all segments of the community. “It’s a huge battle,” he said. Rasode announced her team last week: Merv Bayda is a retired RCMP officer; Mike Bose manages his family’s poultry farm and is a long-time Cloverdale minor hockey coach; Darlene Bowyer is former president of the Port Kells Community Association and has sat on the city’s Heritage Advisory Committee; Narima Dela Cruz is a community volunteer and Realtor; and Kal Dosanjh is a Vancouver Police veteran.

New education funding is not nearly enough News the province has asked school districts not to submit capital funding plans this year is appalling To: Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services I am making this submission as I am very concerned about the funding of our public education system in the province, and even more so about the situation here in Surrey. We are very fortunate in our province to have fantastic teachers, administrators, and support staff that do the best they can with what they have, supportive parents who volunteer a lot of their time to help out, and hard-working students that we all want to see thrive. Unfortunately, it seems that education is becoming less of a financial priority in this province every year. I have seen a variety of statistics that support this, with one of the more dramatic examples being the percentage of the provincial budget that is spent on education – from approximately 19 per cent in 2002 to approximately 13 per cent this year, and projections are for this to continue decreasing over the next couple of years. As a result, districts are forced to make cuts in spite of increased funding, as the increases
never match the increases in expenses – increases that are not in the districts’ control. In Surrey specifically, we are faced with the additional challenge of our growth. While growth should be good news in that it means more funding, unfortunately when we have over 270 portables, and 7,000 students learning in those portables every day, it means more cuts in the classrooms. Our district estimates that the extra costs associated with these portables (heat, light, maintenance, moving expenses, etc.) are approximately $4 million per year in our district. Since there is no funding provided for this, it means $4 million in cuts to staffing and resources in our classrooms. I was part of an Ad-Hoc Committee that made a submission to your committee in 2011 about our capital funding issues. We have received some funding for new schools and additions since then, but not nearly enough. Since we are looking at four to five years from a funding announcement to kids being in a
school, the recent news that the province has asked districts not to submit capital funding plans this year is nothing short of appalling. I don’t believe it’s fair to our teachers, support staff, and administrators, to ask them to keep doing the same great work every year with less and less funding. It’s not fair to our parents to put them in a position where they feel like they need to constantly raise funds to ensure their children’s classrooms have everything they need. But most importantly, it’s not fair to our children, and all the children of this province, to give them less and less support every year. Bob Holmes Concerned Surrey parent Editor’s note: Holmes encourages all parents and citizens who are concerned about education funding to make a submission to this committee; the deadline for submissions is this Friday: www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/finance/budgetconsultations.asp

Sexual assault: Connect the dots Alarmed yet? Program lets victims know they can come forward anonymously to file a report By Sheila Reynolds You’ve been sexually assaulted. You’re terrified and humiliated and you assume no one will believe you if you tell them. So you don’t call police. Your response isn’t unusual. It’s a common scenario. Nine out of 10 women who are sexually assaulted in Canada each year will not report it to police. There reasons are plentiful. The majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, so there may be complicated relationship or family issues. Some victims fear retaliation from their attackers if they speak up, while others have dealt with the justice system before and have little faith they’ll be taken seriously. If an assault involved drugs or alcohol, a woman may not even realize she’s been victimized. And of course, there’s the overwhelming feeling of shame. Most women just want to forget it ever happened. “There’s nothing that
ends a conversation more quickly than ‘I’ve been sexually assaulted.’ It’s just not something in society that we talk about,� says Nancy Drewery, a community leader with the Surrey Women’s Centre’s (SWC) Surrey Mobile Assault Response Team. “Sexual assault is invisible.� A new campaign from the women’s centre aims to let victims know it’s okay to come forward. And they can do it anonymously. Even if a victim is too afraid to report an assault to police, they can talk to a communitybased victim services worker without identifying themselves. The program is called Connect the Dots and involves a partnership with six other community-based victim services programs in Langley, Maple Ridge, Tri-Cities, Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack. According to Drewery, so-called Third Party Reporting – an existing provincial policy allowing victims to make a report without
Candidates debate in Cloverdale
An all candidates meeting is being held in Cloverdale later this month. The Cloverdale BIA and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce are hosting a candidates forum Tuesday, Oct. 28 at Shannon Hall, 6050A 175 Street. The forum is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and it’s free to attend.

giving their names – is simply not well known to women or police. Community workers can collect an array of information from someone who has been assaulted and pass that information on to police investigators, who can establish if there are any similarities or patterns between attacks or attackers. Seemingly small details – like whether a perpetrator had coarse hair or a unique tattoo or did or said some-
thing unusual – can end up being valuable information that can help identify an offender. “This isn’t about investigation,� said Drewery. “It’s about intelligence collecting. It’s really about being able to catch serial predators by having MOs (modus operandi) that eventually, over time, potentially match.� Anonymous reports are only available for crimes involving sexual offences, and women

must be 19 or older. Drewery said often, once a woman begins to open up anonymously and myths about reporting sex assault are shattered, they’ll feel more comfortable and take the next step and file a police report. To learn more about anonymous sexual assault reporting, call their local communitybased victim services program. To contact Surrey Women’s Centre, call 604-583-1295.

Turkey’s party blasts record A Cloverdale party with a purpose nets $18,600 for the B.C. Cancer Foundation By Jennifer Lang Rachel Mitchell remembers the first time her job took her to Cloverdale. It was eight years ago, and she was representing the B.C. Cancer Foundation at a relatively straightforward-sounding local fundraiser. The Abbotsford resident was in for a surprise. Turkey’s Party Makers charity golf tournament is an annual fundraiser that combines wacky golf, fun prizes, and zany snail races (“Slick As Snot” is a perennial contender) with an evening of dinner and dancing, all in support of the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which funds cancer research through the B.C. Cancer Agency. Traditionally held in September on the weekend after Labour Day, the event raises money for lung cancer research, in memory of Marion, mother-in-law to Rob “Turkey” Kielesinski. Turkey’s Marion

Cancer Fund is the only event benefiting the B.C. Cancer Agency that’s earmarked for the disease, notes Mitchel. “I actually don’t have any other events that go to lung cancer,” she said. Guests play nine holes of golf, using hockey sticks or tennis racquets
and everyone wins a prize, then they all head back to the novelty store’s giant warehouse in Cloverdale for a dinner and dance. It’s one of the most exclusive invites on the Cloverdale social calendar; tickets are just $50 but they’re for sale

by invite only. It’s also one of the most successful fundraisers going, especially considering its scope – just one business and staff, throwing a giant bash for friends. Now in its 19th or 20th year (there’s some debate), the event has raised in 2014 the most
money it ever has: $18,600, busting last year’s record-setting $15,000. “It was an older crowd,” he grins. “More money.” Half of the donation is raised by patrons, an amount that Turkey’s Party Makers matches each year. Sadly, “It doesn’t seem to get any better,” Rob observes, noting how cancer continues to impact the lives of people within the event’s circle. Just before dinner, the hosts read out a list of names of those who have lost their lives to cancer in the previous year. “It’s brutal.” Funds go to the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Fraser Valley Centre Centre in Surrey. According to Mitchell, who’s been attending the party as a liaison for the B.C. Cancer Foundation for only the past eight years, the event raised $438 its first year in 1993, and has grown steadily, adding up to $138,000 over two decades.

Inside Riders spin their wheels for B.C. families
By Jennifer Lang All too often for families in B.C., a child’s cancer diagnosis and a financial crisis go hand in hand. Just ask Cloverdale’s Dave and Suzanne Dunbar. When their son Quinn was diagnosed with a brain tumour in September 2002, the Dunbars did what most two-parent families in their situation do: Suzanne quit her job to be at her son’s side. One parent at least one parent usually gives up their job during their child’s illness, says Dave. As the family’s income dropped, new expenses related to their son’s health battle soared. They were shocked at what the medical system in B.C. doesn’t cover. At one point, they were paying $600-$700 for Quinn’s liquid
food supply – needed just to get him healthy enough for the next gruelling round of treatment. There were other costs, too, and they added up. The Dunbars count themselves fortunate – they had the support of their friends, family, church and their community. Even so, they ended up $75,000 in debt. Families without that support fare much worse, says Dave, a director of the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association (BCCCPA), an organiztion that helps families who are struggling with financial aid. Both he and Suzanne got involved after realizing how common their story was, and although Quinn passed away in 2008, the couple remains dedicated

with riders in colourful costumes spinning their buns off at the 2014 Inside Ride. Teams of six are encouraged to register for the ride, dress up, and have fun as each team member rides for 10 minutes on a stationary bike. There are prizes for best costumes, most enthusiasm and most kilometres pedaled. The bikes are supplied by Coast to Coast Against Cancer, an organization that travels across Canada in support of children and families with cancer. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the

You don’t have to read further than the front page of the newspaper to know that we face economic challenges on a global scale. B.C. is not immune to those challenges; but the best defence is a good offence. Through the BC Jobs Plan and Skills and Training Plan, we are building on a solid foundation – to encourage investment, open new markets, and create jobs for British Columbians. I’m particularly excited about the BC Jobs Plan’s targeted measures to support small businesses. These measures include further expanding the Small Business Venture Capital Program by an additional $5 million in 2015-16. We will continue to expand the Mobile Business Licence program to make it easier for those who work in multiple municipalities to do their jobs. We will increase small business-government procurement spending by 20 percent. In fact, our Government officially launched its two-page, short-form request for

Actor lands role in Capilano play By Jennifer Lang Elyse Maloway is about to debut on the stage at Capilano University, where the Surrey Little Theatre alumna is starting her third and final year in the Musical Theatre program. Maloway has a role in the university’s first production of the season, The Government Inspector. The Langley Secondary graduate is playing the part of the brooding daughter, Marya, in the play, an adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher of the original satire by dramatist Nikolai Gogol. She’s also appeared in several SLT productions, including a one-act play she directed and

season opener. It’s directed by Nicholas Harrison, and runs Oct. 15 to 18 (8 p.m., with a 2
p.m. matinee Oct. 18). Originally published in 1836, the play was revised for an 1842 edition. The story is set in a small town in provincial Russia, where residents receive warning that a government inspector is en route, and in disguise, intending to investigate. Panic, greed, and bribery ensue as locals try to identify – and impress – the mysterious newcomer, a guest at a hotel. All performances take place at the BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts at Capilano University 2055 Purcell Way, North Vancouver. For tickets visit tickets.capilanou.ca or call 604-990-7810.

Audiences eager for cocktail comedy By Jennifer Lang Nobody said being the perfect host would be easy. Pam Cochrane thinks she’s got everything under control, but she’s holding onto a thin illusion. There are too many bouquets for the number of vases on hand, a guest turns up her nose at one of Pam’s canapÊs, and the group breaks out into a game of charades when the hostess’s back is turned. Cocktails at Pams, a quirky Canadian comedy penned by Stewart Lemoine, is the Langley Players’ fall production. It’s opening this week and the first two performances (Oct. 16 and 17) have already sold out – suggesting audiences are ready for the fall theatre season to begin. The play takes a closer look at the cocktail party, mining social conundrums such as whether to eat dinner before or after the party and how to endure meaningless conversations with pompous guests. Stir in an anxious hostess who wants everything to be perfect, and you’ve got an evening that’s set a collision course with comedy. A constellation of actors from across the Fraser Valley are in the cast of Cocktails at Pam’s, including Cloverdale’s Andy Wood (Playing Dr. Max Powell), and Surrey’s Elyse Raible (Denise Powell). The rest hail from as far away as Abbotsford, Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows, as well as Ma-
