Vote ends long Conservative race in new riding By Jennifer Lang In a race that began more than a year ago, the field of declared candidates slimmed down unexpectedly last week, when the national Conservative Party told candidates Gurmant Grewal and Paul Brar they had to withdraw from the nomination race in Cloverdale-Langley City. Brar is a Surrey banquet hall owner and Grewal is a former Conservative MP. His wife, Nina Grewal, is MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells. Grewal told the Vancouver Sun last week he’d signed up 1,500 members, raising hopes of a comeback for the former MP.
According to The Sun, Garisto and van Popta had heard rumours about irregularities, but they did not file formal complaints with the party. Grewal, a three-term Surrey MP under the Reform, Canadian Alliance and Conservative banners, was politically damaged and found by Parliament’s ethics commissioner to have acted improperly in 2005 when he secretly taped top Liberals he claimed were trying to bribe him with offers of a cabinet post to cross the floor and save their minority government. He opted not to run again. In a press release posted to his website Nov. 6, Grewal said his campaign attracted a

significant number of new members for the party. “I am proud of my record, achievements, and contributions and hoped to bring meaningful solutions to the problems faced by all of us,” Grewal said. “I have dedicated the prime of my life to helping to build the Conservative Party and its legacy parties. Though my silence is not my weakness, I have supported my party and its leaders through thick and thin.

federal election race is shaping up to be a contest between two Langley residents. The successful nominee, Dean Drysdale, is a past executive member of the former Langley Conservative association. He joined the Progressive Conservatives at 12, in 1976, and later served in the Prime Minister’s Office under Brian Mulroney, before running for the Canadian Alliance in Quebec in 2000. The Liberals recently endorsed Parks Canada employee John Aldag (see story page 5) and the federal NDP have not yet chosen a candidate for the new riding. – With files Black Press

Mayor contenders vie for the business vote By Kevin Diakiw Seven candidates for mayor had their chance to win over the business community last week at Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf Club. About 170 people packed the golf course banquet hall to hear mayoral hopefuls at an all-candidates’ meeting sponsored by the Surrey Board of Trade. After their opening statements, candidates were asked several questions in a tightly controlled setting. First, they were asked what their economic strategy is for this city. Independent Vikram Bajwa said Surrey needs an international airport. Inddependent John Edwards told the crowd Surrey needs a convention centre and a third university. Surrey First’s Linda Hepner said there’s huge interest from business to locate in the city. She said it’s important to keep costs low for businesses while forging ahead with
ideas like Innovation Boulevard (the health sector hub between SFU Surrey and Surrey Memorial Hospital). The same methods can be used for agriculture and advanced manufacturing, she said. Safe Surrey Coalition’s Doug McCallum said a good economic strategy starts with a sound foundation, which includes a safe city and well-considered policy. Once those things are established, he said the city would be ripe for a microchip manufacturing plant, saying that Campbell Heights in South Surrey is perfect for such a facility. One Surrey’s Barinder Rasode said the city has to protect its industrial land base. “I want nothing more for my three children than not to have to cross a bridge to get to work,” Rasode said. She also said it’s crucial to support small businesses by making their communities safer and streamlining processes at city hall. Independent Grant Rice said there needs
to be a greater focus on agriculture, as it outpaces most other industries in B.C. Rice said Surrey should work with agricultural firms to further refine their product before shipping abroad. Independent John Wolanski said Surrey should implement apprenticeship programs. Candidates were asked if they supported reducing the marginal effective tax rate on new business investment as a policy priority. McCallum said he was opposed to such a notion because it would benefit new businesses while negatively affecting existing ones. Rasode said other costs should be reduced for businesses, such as the price of permits and the time it takes to get them. “So I think we have to look there to make sure those costs stay low,” Rasode said. Hepner said Surrey has a single permit fee, which benefits business, and a mobile app, with which they can apply for one. In regards the lower marginal tax rate,
Voters to chose council, school board
Who can vote
On Nov. 15, voters will choose a mayor and eight councillors for the City of Surrey, plus six school trustees on the board of education for School District 36 to serve four-year terms starting in December. There are seven candidates for mayor: Virkram Bajwa (I), John Edwards (I), Linda Hepner (Surrey First), Doug McCallum (Safe Surrey Coalition), Barinder Rasode (One Surrey), Grant Rice (I) and John Wolanksi (I).

Hepner said the idea requires “more analysis” rather than just saying “let’s do it.” “I don’t think we can, I don’t think as a city we’re positioned to do it,” Hepner said. Surrey’s taxes are already low, she said, adding “I don’t know where we would find those savings.” Asked to wrap up, one candidate said he could bring a divisive group together. Rice said he’s heard the main three candidates in debate and said it wasn’t pretty. “The big three don’t play well in the sandbox,” Rice said in one of the lighter moments of the debate. He noted that it will be extremely tough for them to lead a divided council. He can manage it, he said. “I work at community building, this is my background,” Rice said. “I will work with compassion and leadership.” The civic election will be held Saturday, Nov. 15. – Black Press

Campaign slogan shows guts To the editor; Re: “Tough’ slogan distasteful to real mothers,” Nov. 6 Clearly people should get a grip and show a bit of flexibility with respect to signage in our fair community. While I doubt this is related to the sign, “One Tough Mother.” Barinder Rasode’s signs have been devastated; reflecting a lack of respect for the values Canadians are supposed to stand for. This should be the most troubling issue for those who believe in freedom of speech and fair elections. As well, two of her party candidates have had their party name exempted on the [ad-
vance] ballot. Talk about lack of fairness. And what about One Tough Mother? This is a sign to get attention; clearly there is more than one way to take it. I choose to take it in the vein of Tough Love. We need a bit of tough love for our fair city. I also think it shows creativity and guts; something our mayor, whomever it shall be, needs in spades. As well, for the writer to suggest that “the better man”... Doug McCallum, is the choice, while Barinder Rasode is pandering to the safety issue, let’s be real here. Doug McCallum’s municipal party is called “Safe Surrey Coalition.” Talk about pandering. Steven Faraher-Amidon Cloverdale
The glass is half full, doc To the editor; Re: “Life is Changing,” Nov. 6 If you are confused by “Dr.”, as in letter writer Dr. Ron Unruh, I will give you a hint. Dr. Unruh is more than qualified to carry out a wedding or funeral in your family. Just don’t ask him to remove your tonsils, appendix, or do a root canal procedure. We are extremely fortunate in Canada. Thanks to good government, as well as our head of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, the world recession has passed us by. Yes, we have bailed out “Made in Canada, American cars” with the exception of the Ford Motor Company

and Asian brands of cars. This was to protect Canadian jobs. We have not had any financial institution go under in Canada, like they had in the United States and Europe. With the exception of entry level young people, our unemployment level has gone down immensely. When Dr. Unruh states, “The world’s economy is tanking and the globe is in recession” he must be looking in his rear view mirror, which is distracted driving at its worst. The American economy has picked up greatly, sending up the American dollar much higher than the Canadian dollar. This is good news for our forest industry, oil and

gas industry, as well as the car and truck industries in Ontario. It is not so good when you buy oranges, bananas, or other imported goods. If you compare our Canadian dollar with other world currencies other than the U.S. dollar, we are looking very good. A strong American economy means Americans will be buying more of our goods with their strong American dollar, which is good for both countries. It is better to see our glass as more than half full than half empty. Fred Perry Cloverdale

Fresh Cut
What East Clayton Rec Centre? I received a flashy eight-page colour magazine-like brochure from mayoral candidate Linda Hepner and her Surrey First party in the mail like probably everyone else in Surrey, making all sorts of promises if they are re-elected, which they neglected to do during their nine years in office. I understand that a tired party like Surrey First would try to spin what they have done after all these years in power. What I did not expect was an outright fabrication. On Page 4 of their brochure, Surrey First claims “Redevelopment of the East Clayton Recreation Centre” as one of their promises. This would mean there is an existing rec centre to re-develop. But there is no rec centre in East Clayton/Clayton Heights, despite that this a fully built-out community and is badly needed. As a consequence of no facilities for our youth, some of them have nothing to do but roam the streets and congregate at places such as Tim Hortons. It is appalling that Surrey First is trying to take credit for re-developing something that does not even exist, and is trying to cover-up the fact that they should’ve built this rec centre years ago. It is clear that this a party that will resort to saying anything to get re-elected.

districts without incumbents. The federal election isn’t scheduled until Oct. 19, 2015, but already low voter turnouts has Aldag concerned. “Voter turnout has been steadily decreasing,” he said in a statement. “People feel like their vote doesn’t matter.” Last week, Aldag wrote a letter to the editor urging voters in Surrey and Langley City to exercise their right to vote by heading to the polls at Saturday’s civic elections. He suspects the negative tone of political campaigns, particularly under the Conservative Harper era, is to blame. Aldag is entering politics after 31 years with Parks Canada, earning

By Jeff Nagel A gypsy moth infestation centred on Cloverdale has prompted the province to apply to carry out aerial pesticide spraying next year of 4,856 hectares of land in Surrey and 204 hectares in Delta. The targeted areas include most of Cloverdale from the Langley border between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue and extending as far west as 144 Street, taking in Sullivan and eastern Panorama Ridge. The other spray area is east of Highway 91 between Highway 10 and Highway 99 in Delta as well as the southwest corner of Panorama Ridge in Surrey. Forests ministry officials say they intend to use Foray 48B, a pesticide that contains the bacteria Btk and kills caterpillars after they ingest it but doesn’t harm humans, mammals, birds, fish plants, reptiles, amphibians or other insects. It’s approved for use on organic farms and would be used in four aerial applications between April 15 and June 30 next year. Btk is naturally present in the soil in B.C. and has been approved in Canada to kill gypsy moth larvae since 1961. The ministry says the destructive gypsy moth could, if not controlled, spread to other areas of B.C. via vehicles, containers, trains, port terminals and B.C. Ferries.

Above, the area in Cloverdale to be sprayed with Foray 48B, which contains Btk, which kills caterpillars after they ingest it. Gypsy moth caterpillars, below, can destroy hundreds of types of tree and shrub species.
Comments welcome Residents have until Dec. 6 to comment on the application and can find more details at www.for. gov.bc.ca/hfp/gypsymoth/index. htm. B.C. hasn’t sprayed to control gypsy moths since a 2010 infestation in Richmond. The fuzzy leaf-munching caterpillars devour hundreds of types of shrubs and trees, threatening fruit and tree orchards, blueberry farms and Garry oak stands on Vancouver Island. Nearly 200 male European
gypsy moths were caught in pheromone traps over the summer in Cloverdale on trees along 64 Avenue. B.C. is committed to keeping the gypsy moth from becoming
entrenched in the province. Failure to stop their advance could result in the U.S. tightening trade restrictions against Canada.

A scene from Sylvia, a story about an unusual relationship triangle, presented by Surrey Little Theatre to Nov. 15.
Actors shine in ‘Sylvia’ By Michael Roberds Author Kate DiCamillo once said, “It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with a dog who has a good sense of humor.” And that’s true of the title character in A. R. Gurney’s play, Sylvia. Greg and Kate (Terry Thomas and Kate Bergen) are a couple of “empty nesters” who leave the suburbs behind to start a new chapter of their lives together in the big city. She’s looking to further her career in education while he’s becoming more complacent with his own, finding any opportunity to take the afternoon off for long strolls in the park. It’s during one of these sojourns that Greg comes across a lovable stray dog named Sylvia (Rebecca Strom) and the two instantly bond. But when Greg brings the dog home to their apartment, his wife takes an immediate dislike to the curs-
ing canine and rattles off every good – and not so good – reason why they can’t possibly keep her. It doesn’t take long before this unusual love triangle gets the ultimate ultimatum – “It’s either her or me.” Strom brings just the right mix of humor and pathos to her character and you immediately accept that suspension of disbelief that she is a dog and fully buy into it (even the sight of her on her knees at the end of a leash doesn’t let your mind wander into Ghomeshi territory, but rather her character’s canine obedience). Thomas and Bergen are strong as the couple and while he gets to test of the waters of different emotions she remains pretty constant in her irritation and later downright hatred of Sylvia – although this may be more the fault of Gurney’s script than Bergen’s performance. Also, maybe
those who share her character’s opinions of Man’s Best Friend may relate more to her than this reviewer did. Kanchana Walberg, Bowen Munsil and Tim Driscoll round out the supporting cast. While Walberg and Munsil are quite capable in their minor roles, it’s community theatre veteran Driscoll who shines brightest.

Author pens Cold War submarine thriller By Boaz Joseph Two years ago, Robert W. Mackay wrote a novel set late in the First World War about a fictional cavalryman
who was based on his father. Mackay has now published his second military fiction, Terror on the Alert, and its subject is in some ways
even closer to home. Much of the activity takes place aboard the HMCS Alert, an Acheron-Class diesel submarine crewed by Canadians during the
1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The story is set about five years before Mackay was a crew member of the same-class, nonfiction HMCS Alderney
in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), in which he served from 1959 to 1972. Before he left the navy, Mackay also served on the newer

Oberon-Class submarine, the HMCS Okanagan. Although Mackay didn’t fire off any torpedoes in anger during military service during the Cold War, he was acutely aware of the hardships and technical issues that submariners have always gone through. “Submarines are cranky machines,” says the 72-year-old South Surrey author. Indeed, Ted Hawkins, the protagonist and third-in-command of the fictional Alert
Few Canadians are aware that the RCN had its crews train on British submarines based out of Halifax – boats that were deployed in anti-Soviet naval surveillance during the Cuban Missile Crisis. For days, Soviet and Western navies taunted each other, with Soviet submariners reportedly given clearance to fire, which they never did. Canadians crews were involved in the Atlantic activity at the time because there was collaboration between the RCN and the Royal

is inundated with breakdowns such as water leaks, unvented chlorine gas and a bent snort mast, which is damaged in rough waters. (Without that mast, the sub can’t run its diesel engines and recharge its batteries at periscope depth). Hawkins also has marital issues, a bout of trauma-induced claustrophobia – the last thing a submariner needs – and an executive officer out for revenge. “I wanted to give the hero lots of problems,” says Mackay, who adds that one naval officer who read the book told him that few naval officers haven’t met an exec who didn’t hate them at one point in their careers. Hawkins’ troubles include an incapacitated captain and a Soviet sub looking for a fight – and getting one. It’s an adventure, as any story should be, but there’s also history in the fiction.
Navy’s submarine arms in the early 1960s, before some older British submarines were transferred to Canada a few years later. With full historical intention, Mackay also published Terror on the Alert on the hundredth anniversary of the Canadian submarine story. In August 1914, as the First World War began, B.C. Premier Sir Richard McBride paid for two just-built submarines in Seattle, and spirited them to Esquimalt Harbour just before the United States’ Neutrality Act kicked in. Two days later, the RCN took possessions of the CC1 and CC2, which became of Canada’s first two submarines.

Artist falls for alpine splendour at first sight By Wendy Mould Alpine meadows bursting with flowers, tall slender firs towering over the trails, vistas of mountains, lakes and forests as far as the eye can see, tiny lakes cradled in the mountainside – this is Mount Revelstoke National Park! My home for a few days. I was chosen along with two other artists, Caroline Scagel and Valerie Rogers, to capture a few moments of life in the park. It was mid-August, the peak of the short mountaintop summer. We were there to live in a cabin, paint, hike, photograph and collaborate – what an amazing opportunity. For me it was love at first sight. The entrance, Meadows in the Sky Parkway, offers the rare opportunity to drive up into the
Subalpine Daisies, coloured pencil on paper by Wendy Mould.

alpine meadows of a mountain. For hikers this is regular fare but for us non-hikers it is heaven. Everything was so different from my experiences on the coast: skinny trees each
with its own personality; open meadows full of new and interesting plants; and of course, the reds of the Indian Paintbrush giving everything a wonderful pink glow.
Susie Francis & the Versatiles presents p
We began our days early, watching the sunrise over the valley below, and then hiking up to the one of the lakes, Balsam Lake was the closest and a beautiful place. We set up to paint, as the morning mist began to move off the water, it was hard not to just sit and enjoy the moment. No, it wasn’t paradise – there were bugs. We
had been warned and I was prepared. Plein Air painting took on a new meaning as I settled in and tried to capture my small part of this universe. After lunch we moved into our little studio and worked and talked. Oh, how we talked. To have time to really talk about art, art making, art trials and tribulations with other artists is exhilarating! I know my husband takes a keen interest in my work but even he is not up to that level of discussion. We were only there for a few days, but they were full and flew
by so fast. Some of my favourite moments were hiking to Eve Lake, digging into our treasure chest of food for the day, face-time with a Northern Hawk Owl, experiencing moonlight walks to the out house, watching the sun set over the valley below, chatting with Caroline and Valerie, meeting and greeting visitors to the park. The residency didn’t stop with our stay at the park. We each produced works for an art show at the Revelstoke Visual Art
Centre that opened Nov. 7, and, after one month, will travel for a year promoting parks in Canada. This is a special year for the park – it’s the 100th anniversary of Mount Revelstoke National Park. Now that it’s over you might ask, “Would you do it again?� You bet. My only wish is that it had been longer.

By Jeff Nagel The total number of lab-confirmed cases of enterovirus-D68 has jumped again to 150. The B.C. Centre For Disease Control released new statistics as of Nov. 5 on the virus that has been causing severe respiratory illness, particularly in children and teenagers. Around 30 new cases are being detected each week, public health officials say. There was one death in October of a 25-year-old Lower Mainland man with enterovirus D68 who also suffered from asthma. His was the first death in Canada linked to the virus. BCCDC officials are still unsure to what extent the enterovirus infection caused or contributed to that death or to three other cases of neurological illness in other B.C. patients with who have contracted the virus since August. Sixty-two per cent of victims so far are children under 10 years old and 57 per cent are male. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, has said the number of lab-confirmed cases reflect the most ill patients who have been hospitalized, while many more people likely have the virus but have experienced only minor symptoms. Enterovirus D68 can seem like a cold, but the virus may cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in severe cases, especially children with asthma, and has been linked to temporary paralysis in rare cases. The virus isn’t new – variants circulate each year and there have been outbreaks before. There’s no vaccine for it so officials stress hand washing and cleaning surfaces to prevent its spread.
Flu striking early Regular flu season is striking earlier than usual, the BCCDC says, noting there have been seven influenza outbreaks so far at B.C. long-term care facilities. Fraser Health says flu vaccination shots are now available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and public health flu clinics. (Find locations at www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot) Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, seniors age 65 and up, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot. Children have the option of getting the Flumist nasal spray instead of the shot. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and those with underlying conditions. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. – Black Press
