Defence lawyer says strip searches, assaults never occurred

Women ‘conspired against border guard’ Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

“Lies”, “impossible” and “fabricated allegations” were terms that rang out repeatedly in a New Westminster court room this week, where the lawyer for Canadian border guard Daniel Greenhalgh worked to sum up the reasons his client should be found not guilty of sexual assault. Greenhalgh has been on trial since Sept. 13, charged in connection with incidents alleged to have taken place in and around

the Douglas (Peace Arch) border crossing on April 13 and 15 and May 26, 2007. “It is Mr. Greenhalgh’s contention that he did not commit any of the sexual assaults of which he is accused,” defence attorney Joe McCarthy told the B.C. Supreme Court jury Wednesday. “They, each and every one of them, for reasons of their own that we may never understand (are) lying.” Prosecutor Christina Godlewska began her closing arguments Thursday afternoon, saying it was the accused who misled jurors.

“Greenhalgh’s evidence was fictitious. It was demonstrably false, and it was fabricated to mislead you,” Godlewska said. In her opening address last month, Godlewska announced three women would testify that Greenhalgh sexually touched them during “humiliating, illegal” strip searches that were conducted in the handicapped stall of a men’s public washroom, as well as in a fenced-off area outside of the customs building. A fourth was to tell of a similar strip search by Greenhalgh involving

no touching. Greenhalgh, testifying in his own defence, denied all of the allegations. In beginning his summation Wednesday, McCarthy said Greenhalgh never took any of the women – whose identities are protected by court order – to the washroom, never required them to take their clothes off and never touched them inappropriately. All of the women “conspired and fabricated” the allegations, McCarthy said, � see page 4

Blaze called accidental

Three flee house fire at site of murder Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Fire broke out Wednesday afternoon at the same South Surrey property where a man was shot to death last week. But despite the timing, police say extensive examination of the scene by Surrey Fire and Surrey RCMP investigators has determined the blaze, at 17692 24 Ave., was accidental. Fire crews raced to the scene around 3 p.m. Oct. 13. Witnesses reported the fire appeared to be coming from the basement of a home on the property. Three adults – two who were inside the house and a third who was outside – escaped unharmed. For the second time in a week, 24 Avenue was closed to traffic at 176. The busy thoroughfare was shut down for more than 24 hours last week as police investigated the Oct. 7 murder of 51-year-old Randall Davis, who was found shot to death at the end of the home’s driveway. Police have yet to announce any arrests in connection with Davis’ killing. It is known that Davis was scheduled to appear in court that

Not only will BC Hydro be able to see immediately where the power has gone out, the “smart grid” their engineers envision will eventually be “selfhealing,” rerouting power to blackout areas until line repairs can be made. Smart meters can also keep track of power generated by a backyard windmill or solar panels on the roof, deducting the amount generated from the monthly bill. All these are very useful functions. But as far as Garis is concerned, the biggest advantage that smart meters offer is their ability to aid in shutting down grow-ops. He would be very pleased if grow-ops in Surrey become extinct. He would be happy to have Surrey used as a test case for measuring how effective the meters will be in closing down grow-ops. His single-minded focus on the public safety aspect of grow-ops is a boon to law-abiding Surrey citizens, far too many of whom have been forced to put up with one or more grow-ops near their homes. Any tool that will eliminate such hazardous uses of homes in residential neighbourhoods is welcome. Every home in Surrey should have a smart meter in place by 2012.

Mixed response to revenue-generating suites

City of Surrey focuses on the suite life Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Will every community in Surrey be subject to secondary suites? And will enforcement be enough to control those hidden homes that don’t comply with a proposed new law? What will happen with existing multiple suites in a home? Those are some of the questions that were being asked of planning staff by a focus group this week. A telephone poll of 1,500 people in July by Ipsos Reid indicated 63 per cent of Surrey

residents support allowing one suite in all homes. The most supportive community was Newton (65 per cent) and least was South Surrey (57 per cent). A subsequent report to Surrey council recommended that one suite per home be allowed. Multiple suites in a home would be prohibited, and the owner would have to reside on-site. The owner would also be required to provide off-street parking and would have to pay higher fees to cover extra costs incurred by the city.

However, some communities, such as Panorama Ridge and Ocean Park, don’t want revenue-generating suites in their neighbourhood. Surrey staff suggested there may be an “opt-out” provision for communities. How enforcement will be handled is still unclear. And the subject of multiples suites that already exist in some homes has yet to be addressed. Some members of the focus group say staff spoke of either legalizing them or grandfathering them so they wouldn’t have to be

shut down. It wasn’t a plan that was welcome among participants this week. There are an estimated 20,000 illegal suites throughout Surrey, which the city has allowed to remain, charging a $700 annual fee for the cost of extra services. Surrey is the last city in the Lower Mainland to develop a comprehensive plan to deal with secondary suites. Tuesday’s meeting lasted several hours with few remedies to the outstanding issues. Another focus group meeting will be scheduled for some time in November.

Panel of experts addresses economy

Surrey told to target China and India Kevin Diakiw Black Press

B.C. is headed for an “uncertain and underwhelming recovery,” but it will be a recovery nonetheless, according to leading economic experts. A panel of experts addressed a crowd of about 400 captains of industry Thursday at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel, during the third Surrey Regional Economic Summit. Panelists disagreed slightly on forecasts for growth (estimates ranging from 2 to 2.5 per cent gross domestic product), but they saw eyeto-eye on most other topics on the economy. Speakers said the recovery from the 2008 downturn will be slow and plodding, and how successful it is depends on how well this province taps into emerging markets, namely China and India. “We only sell half of our exports to the U.S., down from 70 per cent (a few years ago),” said Ken Peacock, director of economic research for the Business Council of B.C. On the bright side, exports to China are expected to grow by 30 per cent. “They’re even buying more wood,” he said. Niels Veldhuis, vice-president of research of the Fraser Institute, said the economic downturn has been exaggerated, and noted it’s nothing like the Great Depression. “It doesn’t even compare (to the downturns) of the 1990s,” he said. He believes the Canadian average GDP this year will be 2.5 per cent and that “B.C. is most likely to exceed Canadian averages.”

White Rock council is working on policies to guide staff conduct and ensure annual reviews of its city manager. Both are “extremely important,” said Mayor Catherine Ferguson, noting the existing staff review policy is administration-exempt. “When I realized that... I thought it was important council put a policy forward to ensure the position of city administrator have the opportunity for review and for positive feedback,” she said. “It is a big deal, the accountability factor is really important.” A sub-committee of the city’s governance and legislation committee – consisting of Ferguson and Couns. Helen Fathers and Doug McLean – met briefly last week to discuss terms of reference for the city manager’s review, a position currently held by Peggy Clark. They agreed Clark could attend discussions as an observer, and asked city clerk Tracey Arthur to investigate what other municipalities have in place. “We’re not specifically talking about Miss Clark, we’re talking about a policy and a role,” Fathers noted in discussions as to whether Clark should be part of the policydevelopment process. Why a review hadn’t been done previously is a question for an in-camera meeting, Ferguson said in response to a query from Fathers last week. Council unanimously passed a decision to create the policy, the mayor said in an earlier interview. It was not prompted by complaints, she said. Ferguson said she expects the sub-committee will bring information back to council in the new year. The group meets next on Oct. 25. Regarding a code of conduct for staff, she said it’s important “so that we have a level of expectation for how our staff is going to be conducting ourselves.” “Just making it very clear as to what is to be expected… when dealing with the public or city concerns.”

A familiar sight along the path of Crescent Beach, Karl (who declined to give his last name) is joined by six furry friends on a stroll Thursday morning. Most days he has six dogs with him on his daily jaunt, but he has been joined by up to 13 pooches in the past.

Lawyer calls investigation sloppy � from page 1 describing one as motivated to lie by immigration concerns. Two of the women were fed information by police and a fourth, unhappy with the treatment of a friend she was travelling with, “individually fabricated her own allegations,” he said. “These may seem to be a series of extraordinary assertions,” McCarthy said. “If two people tell you something that is not true, that cannot be true, that is impossible, it is still not true.” McCarthy, pacing the courtroom, described how one victim’s testimony contrasted with

video-surveillance footage from the evening of the alleged incident. He also took issue with two minutes and 11 seconds of footage that was missing from the edited version of the video, footage that, contrary to testimony that Greenhalgh shut down his inspection booth to follow one of the victims to the secondary-inspection area, shows “Mr. Greenhalgh continued to perform his duties… examining three other vehicles before he shut down his booth.” “He sent (her) to the secondary booth and immediately forgot about her because he was

working in the primary booth. If Mr. Greenhalgh had planned to engage in his nefarious act, he picked a very strange way to go about it, because he referred her to someone else,” McCarthy said. Prior to concluding his summation Thursday, the defence lawyer referred to “the incompetence of police and sloppiness of the investigation,” noting a corporal had contaminated witnesses by reading to them the contents of an RCMP news release. Godlewska was expected to complete her closing arguments late Thursday afternoon, after Peace Arch News press time.

Our heritage lives here

he City of Surrey would be well-advised to take serious note of heritage expert Donald Luxton’s report to the Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission. And so, too, would the City of White Rock. The report, which is to come before Surrey council Oct. 18., is the culmination of several months study of the best way to preserve heritage areas in the city. Among other recommendations in the report, Luxton said linking heritage with sustainability and tourism would be important for successful preservation of Surrey heritage. Dare we suggest such a link would also be important for the success of sustainability and tourism? While some communities go to great lengths to create artificial attractions – up to and including theme parks – both Surrey and White Rock, as pioneer communities on the West Coast, have an underused resource of history and heritage. We don’t have to invent identities to draw visitors and business to our communities – they’re right there in our history and folklore. There are people with vision here who can help make this happen, but they need the backing, co-ordination and leadership that civic government could and should provide. But both Surrey and White Rock have had black eyes over heritage in the recent past; Surrey, with the accidental demolition of two heritage buildings; and White Rock, which didn’t fight very hard to preserve the old White Rock Elementary building and has a (dare we say) history of endorsing redevelopment that eradicates what little vestiges of the oncequaint seaside community that remain. Coun. Barbara Steele has said one of the key initiatives for Surrey will be broadening the definition of heritage to include transportation and culture. White Rock, which is currently in the process of restoring the Museum and Archives – the former Great Northern station – can take a leaf out of this book by strengthening, rather than weakening, its historic association with the railway that, like it or loathe it, built the community. In this context, it’s interesting to note that Surrey, where enthusiasts for the light rail of yesteryear are currently headquartered at Sullivan Station, used to have two authentic destinations – the Cloverdale Transportation Museum and the Canadian Museum of Flight – but allowed both to leave the city. ‘The future lives here’ may be Surrey’s current slogan – but the city would also be wise to invest in its past.

Keep railing for commuter train Editor: Re: Light rail would work here, Oct. 8. Kudos to columnist Frank Bucholtz for raising awareness of a viable alternative to SkyTrain expansion in the Fraser Valley, which is available now – not 10 to 20 years from now. Rehabilitation and upgrading of the former BC Electric (interurban) line which still runs from New Westminster through Cloverdale, Langley and Abbotsford to Chilliwack is an idea whose time has come. As Bucholtz points out, the main impediment appears to be the issue of road-grade crossings, but bridges would be required also for any SkyTrain expansion south of the Fraser River. TransLink and the province should be looking into engineering design and feasibility of rehabilitating the interurban line now, at least for the most urgent section between Langley and New Westminster. And while we’re at it, what about the BNSF line connecting White Rock and South Surrey with New Westminster? Surely some agreement could be reached with the owners to provide light-rail commuter service during peak hours. Every year we see more home construction in South Surrey, yet the main means of road access to Vancouver – the George Massey Tunnel and Alex Fraser Bridge – are the same now as they were decades ago.

No question about it. The HST is good for business. And that means the HST is good for BC jobs. John Winter, Smart Tax Alliance ■ It is not necessary to rehash the actions of the Liberal government over the past years, but the renewal of the HST fiasco deserves some comment.

We are not that different Editor: Re: Christians share Muslims message, Sept. 29 letters. I would like to thank letter-writer L. Wright for his/her comment – “Christianity is very different from Islam, because nowhere in any part of the Bible does God or Jesus Christ idealize avenging, killing, or causing harm to our fellow humans…” – as it gives me the opportunity to share some facts regarding the similarities between Christianity and Islam, and Islam in general. Christians and Muslims share the

prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. In fact, to be considered a true Muslim, one needs to believe in these revered men. Islam is known as one of the three Abrahamic traditions, the other two being Judaism and Christianity. The original Torah and the original Bible are both accepted in Islam. The stories of Genesis, Exodus and Levictus are described in the Bible and the Koran. For very detailed and thorough examples of this fact, please refer to the chart found at muslim-canada.org/islam_ christianity.html Of particular note, I would like to draw attention to the moralcode section, in which it states that according to both religions “humans have rights – thus the prohibitions on murder, theft, lying, violence,” which directly addresses Wright’s comment. The following facts were selected from the website, www. meccacentric.com/30_facts.html: • The word Islam means “peace through the submission to God.” • Terrorism is not acceptable in Islam. People who claim their terrorist acts are justifiable in Islam are not representative of true Muslims, just as people like Timothy McVeigh, David Koresh or members of the Irish

Aftereffects of the HST Editor: This letter is in response to letters to the editor critical of the HST. While we understand the frustration of many British Columbians regarding the way the HST was implemented, it’s worth taking the long view of how the tax will benefit this and upcoming generations. The HST helps us to pass on a more competitive province to our children and grandchildren by stabilizing the B.C. businesses that keep our families employed. B.C. businesses and jobs are stabilized when tax reform like the HST lowers businesses expenses and improves opportunities for new investment. For example, the cost to transport goods has already decreased because the seven per cent PST portion of the HST on every shipping receipt can now be recovered by businesses. Savings are not limited to a few big businesses; savings will be seen on the purchase of a new stove for a restaurant, a new truck for a construction company and a new treadmill for your local gym.

Republican Army (IRA) are not representative of true Christians. • Islam does not oppress women. The Prophet Muhammad emphasized that women have equal rights to education, financial independence etc. Where you see Muslim women being forced to wear certain dress, it is important to know that many times this is a political situation and arises from ignorance and power. It is equally important to know some Muslim women choose to keep themselves covered as they feel this is how they can be modest and righteous. Depictions of holy women in history such as the Virgin Mary portray this type of dress. • Not all Muslims are Arab, and not all Arabs are Muslims. Arabic Muslims account for around 20 per cent of the Muslim population. The majority of Muslims live in Indonesia. It is important to research an area before claiming to have an understanding of it. I have read some books and I have spoken with regular, ordinary people who practice different religions. I highly recommend doing especially the latter for an enlightening lesson in humanity. We are not that different from one another. Taslim Jaffer, Surrey

White Rock resident Gerald Schimpf wonders whether his chain-link fence was worth all the fuss for city officials.

They’re going ‘round and ‘round Editor: A study at Western Washington University had brightly coloured clowns riding unicycles and circling people who were on cellphones. Only 25 per cent of the cellphone users noticed Bobo. I have clowns circling my block, except they are not that bright and they are the ones on cellphones. City officials photographed my property from their vehicles showing a complete disregard for public safety. Only in White Rock is it logical to disregard B.C.’s cell phone law in the name of civil order. Does the City of White Rock have nothing better to do – like, well, I don’t know, ensure we have safe drinking water – than harass its citizens with petty gripes? I moved to White Rock in July 2009. First thing I did was landscape the yard and seed new grass to the pavement at my expense. Complaints came in and I was investigated immediately. The city even used satellite photos – in case I was hiding guided missiles, I guess. After finding nothing to charge me with except bettering the community – how dare I – they finally found something this summer. I had put up a tiny, single chain-link barrier to keep people from parking

on the new grass. With the fence up for three months, the frontage went from a concrete path to green again. Thirty minutes after Steven-Spielberg-on-Wheels left, another bylaw officer knocked on my door. (Why don’t they just call? They have cellphones.) They gave me 10 hours to remove the fence. Someone could get hurt. For good measure they came back the next business day and asked me if I wanted to put it back up? I probably could get a permit. On the way to city hall – to complain, not to get a permit – I went around several traffic circles. One round, brick barrier had been hit and taped off to prevent access (hope they had a permit). This town must have more traffic circles and bizarre engineering than any community I’ve visited, much less lived in. It’s actually dizzying. White Rock definitely has its share of people that have nothing to do except drive around in circles and sing like a canary to city hall. And city hall is more than willing to listen. Is it time to dispense with the IQ-ceiling that we have at city hall and solicit some intelligence, or should we just wave the white flag and join Surrey? Gerald Schimpf, White Rock

Transit options unveiled Jeff Nagel

An eventual rapid transit expansion in Surrey won’t use the old Interurban rail route, which swoops south from Scott Road Station and then east through Newton and Cloverdale. Instead, TransLink planners say their Surrey Rapid Transit study has flagged three main corridors for further study – King George Bouelvard south to Newton and possibly as far as South Surrey/White Rock, 104 Avenue to Guildford and Fraser Highway to Langley City. “Those are the corridors that radiate out from Surrey City Centre and would connect the high employment and population growth areas of today and projected in the future,” said Jeff Busby, TransLink’s manager of project planning. Community workshops take place this month on 10 main options identified for rapid transit expansion connecting Surrey to Langley and White Rock to gauge public reaction. (For detailed maps on the proposals, see www.scribd.com/surreyleader or see www.bepartoftheplan.ca for more info.) Busby said the old BC Electric Rail route (Interurban) favoured by the group Rail For The Valley didn’t make the cut because it runs through less populated areas that are either more industrial or agricultural than desired. The technology options include various configurations of SkyTrain (referred to as rail rapid transit), light rail or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). SkyTrain – already promised by the provincial government to connect Surrey to Langley – can move more people faster. Busby said it would also be the only option that wouldn’t require a transfer to continue by SkyTrain to the rest of the Bur-

Any rapid transit expansion in Surrey won’t use the old Interurban rail route, TransLink announced this week. rard Peninsula. But ground-level light rail or BRT is often favoured by people who prefer a service that better connects neighbourhoods and officials say both those technologies would be more flexible in terms of how many stations there are and where they’re placed. “We’re not suggesting one is better than the other,” Busby said, adding a second round of studies will now examine how each scenario stacks up against the others in terms of performance and cost. One SkyTrain scenario would run a single line extension from King George Station to Langley City via Fraser Highway. But alternatives include running SkyTrain down King George to Newton instead, possibly coupled with BRT lines from Surrey Central to Guildford on 104, down 152 Street to Fraser Highway and then to Langley. Another option is an upsidedown L-shaped route with light rail running from Newton to Surrey Central then east to Guildford, potentially with light rail continuing down Fraser Highway to Langley.

The ADDED Touch SINCE 1984

Some scenarios mix light rail and BRT, including one with light rail running south on King George to Newton, after which BRT would continue to White Rock. The South Surrey BRT extensions could run on King George heading south from 56 Avenue, or else it could cut east on 56 Avenue to 152 Street and then go straight south to White Rock. Findings are expected by next summer. But don’t expect construction to begin anytime soon. The process will flesh out a preferred option but isn’t intended to determine when the Surrey expansion should proceed or how the money should be raised to build it.

The couple were identified through the previous day’s video surveillance, which captured footage of a liquor theft the day before, store owner Bill Lawrence said. “We have them on video when they snagged some stuff the first time, and then we have them on video (with) the manager stalling them after we called police, and then we have them on video getting handcuffed,” Lawrence said. The first day’s video also shows a third individual who Lawrence believes was working to divert the cashier’s attention from the theft. The culprits took “more than just a couple bottles,” he said. “It was like they were on a shopping spree,” he said. “They were stuffing bottles in bags, shirt sleeves… it was amazing the places they were able to hide bottles. “And then they had the audacity and the misguided confidence to come back the next day. That’s when we contacted our local constabulary and said, ‘I think you guys need to come in.’” Police were on the scene within minutes, Lawrence said.

“I’m not the type to ask for help,” Mike Szendrei said. “But today, I’m asking. If anyone knows anything about what happened to our daughter or knows who is responsible for her death, please call Delta Police.” The father of murder victim Laura Szendrei, 15, is also not the type to cry in public. But he did. “I may have a rougher exterior than some but I have passion and a tender heart toward my family,” he said, his eyes red and his face glistening with tears as he struggled to keep control of his emotions. “I am enraged that someone has taken my daughter Laura who was so precious, innocent and full of life. I loved her with all my being and she knew that.” As he spoke, his wife, Rachael, stood beside him, one hand resting on the small of her husband’s back. The mother told reporters about her daughter’s dreams of

Randie Smith (right) and her daughter Charlie, 16, will host a haunted house on Halloween week to raise awareness of homelessness.

Some real horror for the holidays Boaz Joseph

W Black Press

hen Randie Smith moved to Switzerland to teach English 12 years ago, she brought something frightening with her. Although her students had heard of Halloween, they’d never experienced the thrill of dressing up in costumes, carving jack-o’-lanterns or trick-or-treating. For the next 10 years, young people in the village of Kussnacht am Rigi took part in the annual haunted holiday brought by this Canadian woman. When Smith returned to Canada two years ago, she discovered something scary in her home country. It wasn’t ghosts or goblins, but homelessness – something that doesn’t exist in Switzerland.

After hearing a news report of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts wanting to tackle the problem, Smith, who moved to Cloverdale just a few weeks ago, decided to do something about it. The result will be a Halloween haunted

house and fundraiser to raise awareness and support for the homeless. Her rented garage is already filled with the papier mache templates of a super-scary but family-friendly experience that will run for three nights the week before Halloween. The single mother of three teenagers says about 90 per cent of the materials in the haunted house are recycled. She’s also snagged a dozen drama students from Semiahmoo Secondary School (Smith was a 1985 grad there) to volunteer as prop-builders, costumed creatures and tour guides. Although there will be an admission fee for the second and third night of the event, the fee will be waived on the first night. Instead, Smith is asking for canned goods for the Surrey Food Bank and good-quality � see page 12

She’s been told by the three groups that there are lots of people who could benefit from the donations. “It’s a subject that’s dear to me after living in a country that has no food banks or homeless shelters. The government has your back,” Smith says. She recalls asking a native Swiss where she could make donations

to help the poor. Where was the food bank? “You mean the grocery store?” was the reply. She learned that the Swiss government helps its citizens who lose their jobs pay their bills and provides them job training to reenter the job force. “I just came back from a country that treats its people with dignity and respect and I hear about (Canadian) politicians getting a raise while there are homeless on the street. It’s the 21st century and we have homeless. How bad is that?” Her thinking is that anybody could chip in, in their own way.

KITCHEN RENOVATIONS

Her way will involve some fun on Halloween week, where she hopes she might inspire others to think of ways to help the homeless. “I’m a little passionate about it,” she says with a laugh. • Randie Smith is hosting her family-friendly haunted house on Oct. 28-30 from 5-9 p.m. at 6677 181 St. Donations to the Surrey Food Bank and quality used clothing for the homeless are requested in lieu of an entrance fee on the first night.

CITY NEWS NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF REVITALIZATION PROGRAM

TOO MUCH FOOD IN OUR GARBAGE

Notice is hereby given that Council of the City of White Rock will consider adoption of Revitalization Program (Tax Exemption) Bylaw No. 1915 at the October 25, 2010 meeting of Council.

Are your eyes bigger than your stomach? According to a recent food waste audit, they are. A waste composition study this September confirmed that food and other organic waste accounts for 40 per cent of residential waste going to landfills.

The purpose of the program is to encourage the revitalization and improvement of properties in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre, and Waterfront Business Areas (East and West Beach) by providing for the phasing in of new taxes applicable to the completed construction of improvements to buildings and structures in these areas. Eligible projects for the revitalization (tax exemption) program include: 1. Renovations, alterations or additions to an existing improvement where the construction value is at least $100,000 or greater (the land value is not exempt), and is applicable in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre, and Waterfront Business areas (East and West Beach); 2. Construction of a new improvement where the construction value is at least $1,000,000 or greater (the land value is not exempt) where: (a) The construction value relates to Class 6 Business assessments, specifically for retail, office or hotel accommodation uses in the Town Centre and Lower Town Centre Areas; or (b) The construction value relates to hotel accommodation uses in the Waterfront Business Areas (East and West Beach); or (c) The construction value relates to Multi-Unit Residential Uses in the Town Centre, Lower Town Centre and Waterfront Business Areas on sites previously used as gas bars or automotive service stations requiring site mitigation in accordance with Provincial Contaminated Sites legislation; and (d) Previously approved projects already completely or partially constructed prior to adoption of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw, as determined by the City, are not eligible. The basis for a revitalization tax exemption for alteration or expansion of existing improvements as outlined in one (1) above are as follows (the percentage is based on the increased assessed value of the improvement): i) Year 1 – exemption of 100%

Sadly, as the organic waste that we “trash” slowly degrades in a landfill, it generates a powerful greenhouse gas called methane, which hastens climate change. Fortunately, there are a few simple things we can do to reduce our food waste, including planning weekly meals in order to waste less, and never going grocery shopping when hungry. Alternatively, composting units are available to White Rock residentss at a cost of $55.72 and can be purchased and collected from the Engineering and Municipal Operations Department at 877 Keil Street, which is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Composters come complete with a screen, base and composting manual.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY Looking for a new challenge? The City of White Rock is currently seeking an individual for the following position: Director of Leisure Services (Regular Full Time) • Reporting to the City Manager and as a valued member of the Senior Management Team, the Director provides leadership to all functions within the Leisure Services Department. • Required qualifications include a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Recreation, Public Administration, or a related field, supplemented by a minimum of ten years progressively responsible recreation experience, including experience in a senior management role. Application deadline is Monday, October 18. For complete position details, visit www.city.whiterock.bc.ca.

ii) Year 2 – exemption of 60% iii) Year 3 – exemption of 20% The basis for a revitalization tax exemption for new construction as outlined in two (2) above is as follows (the percentage is based on the increased assessed value of the improvement): i) Year 1 – exemption of 100%

City not planning to compete with developers, says Watts Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Mayor Dianne Watts said Surrey does not intend go “head to head” with private developers – but that it must nevertheless walk “a fine line” in managing the city-owned Surrey City Development Corp. to maximize the benefits of being a land owner for taxpayers and the city as a whole. Watts was reacting to media reports this week that developers of industrial land in the Campbell Heights area are upset the city has entered the market as a competitor, following the corporation’s agreement with the province to buy 250 acres in Campbell Heights North, on the northwest corner of 32 Avenue and 192 Street. The city is intending to cre❝How can we ate a technology-oriented clean hub in the area, but the advantage energy acquisition of the land has led to the residents criticism, including the resignawithout tion of planning and developgoing head ment consultant Michael Geller to head with from its board, citing concerns the private over potential competition with developers. sector?❞ But Watts, who is also on the Dianne Watts board, said it’s not unusual for Surrey mayor cities to own land and have development corporations – noting corporations in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. And it’s certainly nothing new for Surrey to have assets in the Campbell Heights area, she said. “The city’s owned land in that area for 57 years – we owned the (original) gravel pit,” Watts noted.

Bing.com image

The City of Surrey is planning to turn land in northwest Campbell Heights into an “energy hub.”

“When we offered it to the market nine years ago, it was worth $30,000 per acre – currently it’s worth $800,000 per acre. We had a nine-year moratorium on the land. That’s ended now and I think that’s why there is a bit of a kerfuffle.” Watts noted that recent city purchases of land from the province include 50 acres dedicated to parkland. But she said the city reserves the right to develop land in ways that will make sure end-users are businesses and industries involved in job creation. “We’re also looking at ways to generate additional income for the city to offset taxes,” she said. “How can we advantage the residents without going head to head with the private sector? We don’t want to go there… (but) it’s a very fine line.” Watts also said competition may be more perceived than actual, as the city may assemble and develop parcels in different ways that wouldn’t compete directly with private sector businesses. “And any time we can do a joint venture with the private sector, that’s what we want to do.”

news New Westminster constable charged with assault, possession of stolen property

Not-guilty plea for police officer A New Westminster police officer accused of attacking a newspaper delivery driver while off duty last year pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Vancouver Provincial Court. New Westminster Const. Jeffrey Klassen is charged with assault and possession of stolen property in the beating of Surrey resident Firoz Khan on Jan. 21, 2009. Khan was assaulted while he was delivering newspapers in downtown Vancouver. Klassen was out drinking with two other off-duty officers, one from the West Vancouver and one from the Delta police departments at a club on Granville Street shortly before the time of the attack. West Vancouver Const. Griffin Gillan, who had consumed more than 20 drinks that night and said he couldn’t remember the beating, pleaded guilty to the assault and received a 21-day conditional sentence last year.

CTV photo

Newspaper delivery driver Firoz Khan was attacked in downtown Vancouver in the early hours of Jan. 21, 2009.

That sentence will be reviewed during a public hearing conducted by the B.C. Police Complaint Commissioner scheduled to begin in January.

Delta officer Blair Tanino was not charged and is expected to testify as a witness for the prosecution during Klassen’s trial. At the 2009 court hearing for Gillan, a judge described how five witnesses saw Klassen on top of Khan, repeatedly punching him in the head and yelling “stay down or I will kill you.” At the time Klassen was a Use of Force instructor at the Justice Institute that trains municipal police. Klassen’s trial is expected to last two weeks. Court records show that doctors assessing the soft tissue trauma to Khan’s neck and other areas found he did not sustain a concussion. They said Khan could return to work within seven to 13 days although Khan claims he cannot drive after the accident. - with files from CTV News and the North Shore Outlook

High-tech bust of car thieves Two drug-dealing car thieves have been nabbed with the aid of some very high-tech hardware. Members of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) last week arrested a pair of drug dealers in a stolen car with the use of Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology. ALPR takes images of passing cars, analyzes them by licence plate, and if it’s a stolen car, an

alarm goes off in the cruiser. An image of the vehicle is flashed on a screen in the police car. On Oct. 5, just after 2 p.m., an undercover IMPACT member heard the alarm while travelling near 76 Avenue and King George Boulevard. A 57-year-old and his 16-yearold passenger were arrested without incident at 140 Street and 68 Avenue. A subsequent search of the sus-

pects and the vehicle revealed 32 small packages of what is believed to be cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. Also located in the search was a quantity of money and two cellphones which is consistent with a dial-a-dope operation. Charges have been recommended against both suspects for the stolen car and the possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking.

Surrey teen charged in night robbery A 15-year-old Surrey boy has been charged with using a gun during a night robbery of a Vancouver jeweller. Vancouver Police said the robbery of Montecristo Jewellers at Oakridge Mall happened around 8:30 p.m. Sept. 30. One man entered the jewellery store posing as a customer and asked to see merchandise. Two other men were lurking outside the store. When the suspect inside the store produced a gun and demanded staff open the cases, the two outside assaulted a security guard while discharging pepper spray. A number of shots were fired inside the store before all three men fled with

merchandise. The robbery was caught on video by a store security camera. Two of the suspects were seen getting into a waiting older-model red van outside the mall, which was driven by a

Delta wants say over B.C. police computer network Dan Ferguson Black Press

Lois Jackson Delta mayor

B.C. communities that operate their own police departments still aren’t getting enough say in the operation of an expensive computer network that connects all B.C. law enforcement agencies, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says. The provincial government recently said it would appoint three local government representatives

from B.C. communities to the board that manages PRIME (Police Records Information Management Environment). But all three representatives come from communities policed by RCMP detachments, including Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and her counterparts from Langley and Prince George. “You don’t have anybody from the municipal (non-RCMP police) sector,” said Jackson, the chair of the Delta

Police Board. She said she has raised the matter with provincial Attorney General Michael de Jong, who has indicated room may be made for at least one representative from a community like Delta, Abbotsford, New Westminster or Vancouver, which operate their own municipal police forces. This year, the PRIME fee charges doubled, rising from $500 an officer to $1,000. For Delta, with 173 officers, the

result was an increase from $85,000 to $173,000. That’s about what it costs to hire and equip two constables. Surrey, which had 615 officers at the time of the hike, saw its PRIME fee rise from $307,500 to $615,000. Under a provincial government order made in 2003, every municipal police department and RCMP detachment must use PRIME, a system that provides instant access to information about criminals and crimes.

Mother and son duo make up the Go Bonkers Team

A twisted tale of balloon creations Boaz Joseph

Black Press

ule number one of the Go Bonkers Team: No weiner dogs. When Brandon Kroeger and his mother Joan entertain at parties with their twisted balloons, they need to be challenged, to wow their audiences. Swords are frowned upon also. At their weekend gigs, ranging from birthday parties to corporate events, adults often turn into babbling children as they watch elaborate detailed Pink Panthers, men on skateboards or flowers spawn from hollow rubber. It takes about five minutes, amid a melody of creaks, pops and squeaks, for a complex motorcycle to be fabricated in the fast-moving hands of 17-year-old Brandon. An octopus, a fish, a ladybug… he can make seemingly anything in a couple of minutes. An elephant takes a bit longer. “Once you get the basic twists down, nothing is complex,” says Brandon. “It’s (just) more time-consuming.” His first balloon-making gig was at age 13, for an employee of the YMCA. Business quickly picked up. At first, Joan was just his driver and

promoter, but within a year or so, she was a balloon-twisting member of the Go Bonkers Team – she became Mama B to his Bonkers the Clown. The two collaborate on balloon-making styles, sometimes feeding off each other, sometimes poking fun as one outdoes the other. Occasionally, Joan comes home to see a living room full of balloon entrails, mutated experiments and hordes of successful specimens that Brandon has worked on. “I hate making horses, so I make her do them,” Brandon chuckles. “She hates making Tweety Bird and penguins, so I make those ones.” Joan credits her son with spontaneous creativity, using an example of a vacuum cleaner that came from a party request. Dream on, buddy, she told the man. Brandon took on the job after thinking about it for 10 seconds. He soon had an upright Hoover for the client, complete with a long balloon not blown up that would be used as a plug for a wall socket. Some of their ideas come from online from places such as www.balloonhq.com, where – unlike the world of magic – there are no secrets between balloon-makers. “The balloon world is very friendly,” says

Denman Island landowner Henning Nielsen and Comox Valley MLA Don McRae speak at the B.C. legislature Tuesday.

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has acquired about 15 per cent of Denman Island for preservation in a land swap involving a private landowner and a German carbon trading company. Denman landowner Henning Nielsen donated $1.4 million towards the $6.7 million purchase price of several parcels of land for conservation. The B.C. government contributed $232,000 and transferred development rights on Crown land worth $3.9 million to Nielsen’s company, North Denman Lands Inc. The development rights will allow farms and homes to be developed on land outside the preservation areas. The deal is described as “density neutral,” meaning it won’t increase overall residential development on Denman Island, and has been approved by the Islands Trust. Another $1.2 million was paid to North Denman Lands Inc. in a carbon offsets agreement by North Vancouver-based ERA Carbon Offsets Ltd. and a German company, Forest Carbon Group. Much of Denman Island, near Comox on the east side of

Vancouver Island, was logged and is in various states of re-growth. Environment Minister Barry Penner said the area preserved in the deal meets international qualifications as a carbon offset because it ensures long-term carbon capture by regrowing Douglas fir forest and protecting it. Forest Carbon Group director Alexander Zang said the value of a carbon offset depends on the project and the companies that choose to buy into it. He described the Denman Island land as a “charismatic” project that has marketing appeal to his company’s potential clients, because of its beauty and protection of biodiversity. The area set aside includes part of the Chickadee Lake watershed, which includes habitat for at-risk species such as the Taylor’s Checkerspot butterfly. Neilsen said whether he recoups his contribution on the deal will depend on real estate values for the development property his company obtained in the trade. The acquisition means about a quarter of Denman Island will be protected, including two existing provincial parks and other local conservation areas.

VICTORIA – B.C.’s lumber production improved by a third in the first half of 2010, as mills reopened or added shifts mainly to meet new Asian demand. The latest Statistics Canada figures reflect the B.C. industry’s slow recovery in recent months, but the 33 per cent increase from the same period last year is better than expected, Forests Minister Pat Bell says. Perhaps the surest sign that the B.C. industry is on the mend is another trade complaint from the U.S. government. While B.C.’s recovery is led by Chinese lumber demand, shipments to the United States were also up 16 per cent. Last Friday the U.S. government asked for arbitration under the 2006 softwood lumber agreement on the price of pine beetleattacked timber harvested from provincial land. The B.C. government maintains that timber auctions established a market price for the large volumes of beetle-killed wood that has been cut. The B.C. Lumber Trade Council says timber pricing and log grading systems

t’s a chance to catch up with the latest works of some of the most active local artists; an opportunity to meet them in person and prowl around their work places. And while sales are always welcome, the White Rock Artists Studio Tour is most of all about having fun. “I love it,” enthused Elizabeth Hollick, one of 12 Peninsula artists who will throw their home studios open to the public this weekend (Oct. 16 and 17, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) in the 17th annual edition of the event. “It’s really happy – there’s a really good feeling about it.” Joining Hollick in this year’s show are mainstay organizers Jody Jordison, showing paintings, drawings and murals and Kathy Macdonald, showing oil paintings and drawings.

The White Rock Traditional Jazz Society is celebrating its 20th anniversary this weekend with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what else? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a session with house band Red Beans and Rice, 3-6 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Crescent Branch 240, 2463 128 St. The band, led by cornetist and keyboardist Rice Honeywell, has been keeping Dixieland and traditional jazz alive and well on the Peninsula since the inception of the society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in 1990 at a restaurant called Oasis on the Bay,â&#x20AC;? recalled Honeywell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was playing the piano there and the owner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Howard LeTroy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; agreed to have a Dixie band on the weekend.â&#x20AC;?

Honeywell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually it became a society.â&#x20AC;? The society lasted

a lot longer than the Oasis, Honeywell said, moving from home to home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including erstwhile venues Judyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On Top and the Sandcastle Club until settling at the Pacific Inn in 1992 and settling for some eight years.

Dentist Julian Winston (Andy Wood) is being dumped by his girlfriend Toni (Krisandra Reid) during a rehearsal of Cactus Flower opening Thursday Oct. 14 at Surrey Little Theatre.

Black Press

Love can bloom in the most unlikely places – even, it seems, in a dentist’s office. Cue the laughing gas – Surrey Little Theatre is getting its 201011 season rolling on Oct. 14, with a knee-slapping comedy about love, lidocaine and lies. Cactus Flower, written by Abe Burrow and directed by Brigitte Seib and Paul Cowhig, tells the story of a dentist who’d rather have his teeth pulled than make a commitment to a woman. But when Dr. Julian Winston

unexpectedly falls for his girlfriend, Toni Simmons, and proposes, he must recruit his lovelorn nurse/receptionist to pose as his wife. Convinced she and her beloved have no future together, Toni attempts suicide and a guilt-ridden Julian rashly proposes that he leave his wife so that the couple can be together. Here, the plot takes an unexpected twist, says Seib, because the dentist has never revealed to Toni that his marriage is actually a lie, concocted to keep her at arm’s length.

“Of course, Toni refuses to break up his household without first meeting and talking with Julian’s soon-to-be-ex, so he enlists the aid of his shy spinster assistant, Stephanie Dickinson to pose as his non-existent wife,” said Seib. “Complications arise when Toni decides the two must find Miss Dickinson a new beau so that everyone concerned can live happily ever after.” The name of the play – which was also made into a movie, starring Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn in � see page 36

Band has gone back to its roots â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone back to the roots a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Honeywell, citing the presence of such traditionalists as Batten (â&#x20AC;&#x153;a trombone player right out of the Kid Ory moldâ&#x20AC;?) and Green. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back on cornet and the best thing a cornet player can do is drive it down the middle, just like Muggsy (Spanier) did,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to keep out of the way.â&#x20AC;? But the more swingoriented rhythm section â&#x20AC;&#x201C; established since Ogilvieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more flexible rhythm guitar replaced the banjo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has helped maintain the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to younger fans, including the swing dance set. Honeywell says society

membership now stands at 150, and since the move to the Crescent Legion in 2000, Red Beans and Rice has alternated the regular 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday sessions with a rotating group of area traditional jazz bands. Honeywell and his wife Nancy also continue the traditional sounds through the summer at the Legion, with their own gigs spearheaded by Red Beans and Rice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Legion has been delighted to have us, both with the society and during the summer,â&#x20AC;? he said. For more information on the club, call 604-591-7275.

Dixieland jazz band Red Beans and Rice have been playing on the Peninsula â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with the White Rock Traditional Jazz Society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s.

Show on stage now ďż˝ from page 35 1969 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; comes from a prickly cactus that Miss Dickinson keeps on her desk at the dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Similar to the receptionist, the cactus is cold and inhospitable. However, in the end, both the cactus and Miss Dickinson have blossomed. Playing the role of the naive, but lovable young mistress, Toni, is Langley actor Krisandra Reid. This is the 21-yearold SFU studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first foray onto the boards at SLT and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to seeing the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to the laugh-a-minute script â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention the physical comedy that has been thrown in for good measure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to be a fun show,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only need tissues if you laugh so hard that you cry.â&#x20AC;? Reid has taken on the role played by Hawn in Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version. Despite the film actressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history of playing bubbleheads, Reid said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case with Toni. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Toniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ditzy, just very naive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a free spirit and very gullible.â&#x20AC;? This is the Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time working with this particular cast and crew, and from the outset, she said, there was good chemistry among the actors. She should know, she has been performing for as long as she can remember. However, Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first love has always been musical theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where she can sing, dance and act to her heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. At 15, she played murderess Velma Kelly

in an H.D. Stafford Secondary production of Chicago and, later, performed as Belle in Beauty and the Beast. More recently, she was cast as Puck in Bard in the Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, performed in on the Spirit Square stage in Douglas Park last summer. The middle child of three girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; older sister Jacqueline starred alongside her in Chicago, and younger sister, Melenie, also loves to act and sing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reid said the propensity to perform doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be genetic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our parents just laugh. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where it came from,â&#x20AC;? she said. Now in her fourth year at Simon Fraser, studying world literature, Reid has an eye on entering law school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more lucrative path, more solid. But my heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in musical theatre,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theatre is my calm place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calm in the sense that I can stop thinking and just be in the moment.â&#x20AC;? Performing the two other lead roles are Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andy Wood as Dr. Julian Winston and Robyn Bradley as Stephanie Dickinson Cactus Flower opened with on Thursday, Oct. 14 at Surrey Little Theatre, 7027 184 St. and runs each Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. until Nov. 6.

Despite loss, Rams find reason for hope Nick Greenizan

Sports Reporter

n the surface, the Big Kahuna Rams’ 46-10 playoff loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders last weekend was simply a matter of a good team beating a weaker one.

Midget Titans hold on for victory Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Brian Giebelhaus photo

White Rock-South Surrey Titans’ Aidan Clancy tries to pull away from North Delta Longhorn tackler Athan Mellios during a junior bantam football game Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park.

A week after a thrilling comeback victory over the Cloverdale Bengals, the White Rock-South Surrey midget Titans were at it again last weekend, defeating the North Delta Longhorns 29-27. Unlike the win over Cloverdale, which was won on a last-second Hail Mary touchdown toss, last Sunday saw the Titans trying to hold onto a lead, rather than come from behind. The Longhorns led early in the contest, but by late in the third quarter, the Titans held a 26-21 advantage after a Steven Bouchard touchdown and a failed two-point conversion. In the fourth quarter, White Rock’s defence forced North Delta to punt on its first possession, and a 13-play drive by the Titans – engineered by quarterback Matt Calderwood – led to a field goal. The Longhorns answered shortly thereafter, however, with a touchdown of their own, but the twopoint convert failed when White Rock’s Brandon LeMoignan batted a ball away from the intender receiver on the play. With time ticking down and trailing by two, the ‘Horns tried an onside kick, but Titans’ Willie Watson recovered the ball. From there,

the Titans ran out the remaining seconds on the clock to preserve the win. Receiver Andrew Darcovich had a pair of TD receptions – of 22 and 40 yards – in the game, with the other major score coming from Watson, who had a nineyard reception. Bouchard also returned the game’s opening kick for a touchdown, but the play was negated after a penalty call.

Flag division

The Blue Titans lost 12-3 to the Cloverdale Sabre-Cats Sunday, despite a strong defensive effort from Thor McKenzie and a handful of offensive starters. The Titans’ touchdown was scored by Beckham Dickie on a four-yard run, but the play that set up the short run was a 30-yard pass from Dickie to Reid Turner. The White Rock White Titans were victorious on the weekend, defeating North Delta 14-6. Tajin Rai, Tanner Attew, Jordan Gazzola and Lucas Rolling each had touchdowns for the Titans, while Gazzola and Jacob JordanKnox each kicked converts – a rare feat for the flag division.

First loss

Peace Arch United’s first division men’s team lost its first game of the season last weekend, falling 4-2 to Sentinel FC. Peace Arch scored first in the game - which was played in Fleetwood Park – when a shot from James Stevenson found the back of the net, but the next five “crazy” minutes were not good for PAU, said head coach Ron Stevenson. In that span, Sentinel scored twice to take the lead. Peace Arch’s Connor McMahon tied the game a short time later, but another individual error handed the lead right back to Sentinel, who went up 3-2. Despite an effort to come back and tie the game, PAU was unable to get the equalizer, and Sentinel scored an insurance goal late.

Running backs, linemen lead the charge � from page 39 Titans earned a 22-16 win over the Burnaby Lions on Thanksgiving Monday. Touchdowns were scored by Kole Turner, Isaiah Edwards and Lukas Frers, while the defence was led by Tyson Graham, Brian Tung, Rhys Huston, Royce Bonnevile and Michael Giustino. All three Titan TDs were a result of strong blocking from offensive lineman Isaac Wilson, Jay Mayer and Liam Kightley-Kauser as well as fullback Easton Martin. The atom White Titans were not as lucky last weekend, falling 40-0 to the North Delta Longhorns. Due to sickness and other commitments, the Titans were playing shorthanded – which meant many players

had to play both offence and defence. Brendan Lee and Marcus Bradley played well for White Rock, as did Alejandro Cazoria.

Peewee division

Both the White and Blue Titans teams lost on the weekend, with the White squad falling 19-14 to the Cloverdale Bobcats and the Blue team losing 22-0 to the North Surrey Cardinals. In the first game, defensive lineman Cole Dreyer was a standout for the Peninsula squad, while Valen Garcia, Jaxon Russell, Thane Martine, Daniel Damron and Tyrese Jeys-Morrison were key players for the blue team.

Junior bantam division

In junior bantam action, the Titans were led by running back Nathan

� from page 37 air, at least – the team’s offence struggled, as it has often this season. The team racked up just 113 net yards, and just 61 yards passing. McLaren chalked up the offensive struggles simply to youth, adding that he’s excited to see how White, 18, performs at quarterback in the years to come. White, a former Earl Marriott Secondary student, was thrust into the starting job as a rookie, after veteran Cam Clark – a league all-star – left to play university football. “A few years ago, Cam came in here out of nowhere and looked like a deer in the headlights. A few years later, he left as an all-star, and having seen a lot of first-year QBs through the years, I can say that Nate will absolutely dominate this league in a few years,” McLaren said. “He had a young offensive line, and we kind of threw him to the wolves a little bit, but he’s going to be good.” While White will return under centre next year, head coach Chris Butschler has decided not to return for another season,

the team announced Wednesday afternoon. No further details were available by press deadline. The team also struggled in the run game this year – they did not have a 100yard rusher in any game this season – but injuries played a part. Both of the Rams’ early season starters Sean O’Neill and Carlo Graziano missed significant time this season, and against the Raiders, the team lined up 17-year-old rookie Malcolm Freeman and backup fullback Jake Glass in the backfield. “(Running the football) is a bit of a concern, but we ran up against injuries and had to go with a young group,” McLaren explained. “And the minute you put a 17-year-old up against a 22-year-old defensive player, well, you usually don’t come out on top of those battles. “Malcolm Freeman though, I haven’t seen a 17-year-old running back that good in a long time. “Overall, it was a mistake-filled year for everyone, but definitely a learning year – we have a lot of players we can build around.”

Despite missing four of five starting offensive linemen, the Titans were able to edge the Victoria Spartans 34-28 Sunday. Tavis Knox had an outstanding catch-and-run play in the game, which set up a one-yard TD plunge, while Dylan Kazda also fared well at defensive end, while also filling in on the offensive line and on special teams.

Nov. 18, 1921 – Oct. 9, 2010 Mrs. Nancy Doreen Wade (McMillan) passed away peacefully from cancer on Sat. Oct. 9th at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. She had resided in South Surrey for the last 21 years. Nancy was born on Nov. 18, 1921, on the McMillan home farm (built by her grandfather) near Griswold, Manitoba to Dave and Annie McMillan (Powell). Growing up on a farm, Nancy had a great love for animals—particularly dogs and horses. She fondly remembered Rover, Skippy, Rufer, Jessy and Tyler. As a girl, she drove a horse and buggy or sleigh—with her younger sister, Audrey, to a one-room school house. She moved to Souris to complete her high school education and then moved to Winnipeg to become a nurse. She graduated in 1945 from the Winnipeg General Hospital (Health Sciences Centre) as an RN. She worked in her profession throughout her married life—mostly part-time in hospitals, nursing homes and a doctor’s office. She loved her work and took pride in helping others. She treasured friendships and laughter with many nurses throughout her life. Nancy and her family delighted in annual summer trips to Gimli as well as time at her parents’ farm. The family vacationed together every summer to various locations in Canada and the U.S. Later, she and Grant travelled to Great Britain, Hawaii, Alaska and Arizona with friends and family. There were many trips back to the prairies—Manitoba and Saskatchewan--throughout her life. Nancy loved playing bridge. She also participated in bowling, curling, cards, knitting, cross-county skiing, the United Church Women, the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary, and hosting dinners for family and friends. She lived in Winnipeg, Toronto and the Vancouver area. She leaves her loving husband of 61 years, Grant, daughters, Karen (Peter) Eidet, Laurel (Mark) Plimley and son, Warren (Cathy) Wade. She leaves five grandchildren: Sean (Liz), Peter (Harmony), Nathan (Trish), Kim (Andrew) and Warren (Candace). There are also eight greatgrandchildren. She leaves brother-in-law, Gordon (Doreen) Wade. She also leaves her dear sister, Audrey (Art) McKellar of Regina. As well, she leaves cousins from the Powell and McMillan families and nieces (three of them registered nurses) and one nephew. Service to be held at First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave. in White Rock on Saturday October 16th at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Surrey Animal Rescue and Adoption (SARA society—no kill shelter) at 604-580-8254 or sarasociety@gmail.com.

BLOCK, Henry Peter was born December 4, 1925 in Main Centre, Saskatchewan and passed away at the Peace Arch Hospital Weatherby Pavilion on October 7, 2010. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Beth; sons Stephen (Brenda) and Glenn, daughter Joanne Schellenberg and three grandsons, Paul, Jonathan and Michael. Henry is also survived by siblings Lynn Letkeman Voth (Abe), Jake Block (Tina), Elvin Block (Viola) and Alvina Thiessen (Alfred), brother-in-law Dick Klippenstein and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his sister, Helen. Henry lived a full and happy life growing up on the prairies. He competed in many sporting activities with family and friends and even played shinny at the age of eighty with his grandsons. He persevered in completing his Master’s degree while raising a young family and worked as a caring teacher and guidance counsellor until his retirement from education. Henry enjoyed travelling, especially family camping trips and journeys back home to Saskatchewan during harvest. He loved music and won the affection of family and friends with his guitar and harmonica playing. Henry was very involved with his grandsons and spent countless hours at ballparks and hockey arenas supporting them in competition. Henry embodied Psalm 103.8 - he was a compassionate, gracious, patient and loving person. He was a gentle, humble man of deep faith. His faith and positive outlook were sources of strength to those around him. Henry’s lasting impression on others is of a man with a warm smile and open heart. Family and friends said farewell to Dad at a Memorial Service held on October 13, 2010 at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre. Pastor Joel Defries officiated the service and Charmaine Voth closed with the song, “Somebody’s Praying”, a tribute to his faithful intercession for others. The family would like to extend its heartfelt appreciation to the caring staff at Weatherby Pavilion Second Floor for the comfort and support provided to Henry and to our family. If so desired, remembrances to World Serve Ministries would be appreciated. Condolences may be offered at : www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Honda raises the bar again in the minivan segment. By Lorne Drury Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine. LA JOLLA, Ca.: Honda has learned over the years that you don’t mess with success. For that reason there aren’t any radical changes on the Honda Odyssey minivan that enters its fourth generation with the 2011 model. Instead, what Honda has done is listen to the needs and wants of its customers and improved the fuel economy, safety, and ride and handling in the new model. In a nutshell, it’s more refined and better all-round Minivan sales have shrunk to about half the levels of a few years ago (Canadian sales are expected to be in the 70,000 range this year), but Honda Canada executive vice-president Jerry Chenkin said the company feels there is still a market for minivans, even though many other manufacturers have abandoned the segment altogether. “We felt it was very important to satisfy the Honda customer that really appreciates the Odyssey,” said Chenkin at the launch of the new model in California. Chenkin said Honda Canada is “cautiously optimistic” that the overall vehicle market will improve slightly in the coming year, as will sales of the new Odyssey. For 2011, the Odyssey has a new look inside and out. As with any minivan, it’s still basically a box on wheels, but Honda has added an interesting “lightning-bolt” chrome styling element along the beltline to make it stand out from the competition, which includes the re-styled 2011 Toyota Sienna and the Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country. This design element, combined with a lower roofline, wider stance and better aerodynamics help take away some of the boxy look that is common in all minivans. Honda says its goal was to make the new Odyssey “the ultimate in family transportation” aimed at Generation X and Generation Y couples that are now having children of their own. They grew up themselves in minivans and the hope is that these style-conscious families will look at the Odyssey from an “emotional” purchase decision as much as a “practical” one. This is truly a North American vehicle, designed, engineered and built here. When it goes on sale Oct. 22, it will be offered in the following trim levels: LX, EX, EX-RES, EX-L and Touring with more than 50 new standard and available features that have been added to enhance comfort, convenience and efficiency. Even with all the new features such as Variable Cylinder Management that allows the vehicle to run on six, four or even three cylinders when power isn’t required, Honda has been able to hold the line on pricing. It starts at $29,990 for the LX, $1,700 below the starting price for the current 2010 DX model. Prices climb to $46,990 for the fully loaded Touring model that has all the bells and whistles at $2,700 less than the current Touring model. Inside is where the biggest advances have been made— particularly the increase in space for both passengers and cargo. Most members of the Odyssey engineering team are long-time

Odyssey owners and it shows in the versatility this new model offers. There is room for six adults in comfort in the three rows of seating and a seemingly endless combination of passenger and cargo combinations. The LX seats seven passengers, all others will accommodate eight. The second row, for example on the EX and above trim, has what Honda calls a Wide-Mode as the two outside seats can adjust sideways 38 mm (1.5 in) each. The primary benefit of that is the ability to install up to three child seats side by side. The centre seat in the second row is also considerably wider (99 mm or 3.9 inches) and it also moves forward to allow for a child seat closer to mom and dad up front. In total, the Odyssey can handle up to five child seats, depending on the trim level. When only two passengers are in the second row, a fold-down armrest provides three beverage holders and a tray. If needed, all second row seats can be removed totally to produce a flat floor that might be needed if you’re carrying a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall that yes, does fit! No need to borrow a pick up to bring that building material home from the lumber store. Legroom in the third row Magic Seat is 28 mm (1.1 in) more roomy this time around, making it more adult friendly. I sat back there to test it out myself and I’m close to 6-foot and had no problem with legroom. It has a 60/40 split and the seats can be easily pulled down into the floor with the tug of strap— no need even to take off the headrests. Power comes from a 3.5-litre 24-valve SOHC V6 engine that generates 248 hp (up four hp) and 250 lb/ft of torque (up 5 lb/ft). The Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) helps conserve fuel as it works on the principle that the vehicle only requires a fraction of its available power at cruising speeds, so it runs on three, four or six cylinders depending upon power required. A five-speed automatic is standard in all models except fir the Touring which has a six-speed. The new Odyssey still handles like, well, a minivan but it is closer to what you’d expect in a sedan than ever before. With a weight reduction of 43 kg (103 lb), Honda says it will accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds, which is pretty decent for a minivan while at the same time there is a one litre per 100/km drop in fuel consumption. All models get 17-inch wheels, except the Touring which is equipped with 18-inchers. Overall body rigidity has been improved by 22 per cent, according to Honda, resulting in a quieter cabin. With the audio system off, my co-driver and I both commented on the quietness of the cabin and during my time in the back seat, it was no problem speaking in normal tones with the front seat passengers. Of course, safety is a prime concern when you’re talking about a “family vehicle” and Honda expects the new Odyssey to get a Top Safety Pick and a Five-Star safety rating in the U.S. for 2011. More high-strength steel has been used than ever before to add to the safety factor along with standard safety features like electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution, three-row side curtain airbags with rollover

Honda has raised the minivan bar once again with the fourth-generation 2011 Odyssey. North American engineered, designed and built, the Odyssey goes on sale at Canadian dealerships Oct. 22. Honda has used a unique “lightning bolt” chrome trim piece along the beltline of the new Odyssey to take away from the boxiness. sensor, driver and front passenger side airbags, dual stage front airbags and active front head restraints. Among the convenience features in the cabin are 15 beverage holders (10 in the base LX model), and a Cool Box at the base of the centre stack (on EX and above) to keep those beverages cool until use. To keep the youngsters happy on those long road trips, there is a 16.2-inch ultrawide video screen available on the Touring model. Full details on the features of the entire 2011 Honda Odyssey model lineup should pop up shortly on the Honda Canada Web site. But if you’re looking for all the bells and whistles, the Touring model is the way to go. Technology stands out here with a satellitelinked navigation system (with voice recognition), multi-view rearview camera, 650-watt 12-speaker premium audio system, rear entertainment system with the ultrawide video screen and two wireless headphones, auto-leveling headlights, third-row integrated sunshades and ambient foot well lighting. While minivan sales may be declining, there’s still no vehicle that offers such a full range of family-friendly attributes. And the beauty of the Odyssey is you can go basic with the LX or luxurious with the EX and above. No wonder it’s been the benchmark of the minivan segment for so many years. With this new generation, the bar has been raised even higher.

HE ALL-NEW 2011 JETTA * ROM ONLY $XX XXX THE ALL-NEW 2011 JETTA $17,240* * FROM ONLY $XX,XXX

When we set about completely redesigning the 2011 Jetta, we paid special attention to every detail, especially the price. The All-New Jetta is our most affordable Jetta ever, but that doesn’t mean we’ve cut corners – quite the opposite, actually. Class-leading cargo space †, class-leading rear passenger space†, and bold new German styling mean that, when it comes to delivering bang for buck, we’ve decided that the bigger the bang, the better.
