They’re not ghost busters …but Surrey-based investigators do take haunted buildings seriously Boaz Joseph Black Press

f any building were to have a ghost of a chance of being home to paranormal activity, this would be the place. It was a venue of the dead after all, where more than 20,000 autopsies took place between 1932 and 1980. The Vancouver Police Museum, a designated heritage building in Gastown, was once home to both the coroner’s court and autopsy facilities, then the city analyst’s laboratory until 1996. The victim of every murder, suicide and accident in Vancouver for decades passed

through the same doors where, on Aug. 13, 2010 (fittingly, a Friday), a team of nine specialists arrived carrying a dozen aluminum cases. The Surrey-based Canadian Paranormal Society (TCPS) arrived for an eight-hour night of apparition analysis. Invited by the staff following a positive recommendation by the Port Moody Station Museum, the visitors unloaded and set up infrared video cameras, digital voice recorders, full-spectrum cameras (picking up infrared, ultraviolet and visible light range images), Mel Meter and Tri-Field electromagnetic field gauges, Sony Handicams with infrared lights (for night

only 10 tickets left

shots), digital thermometers and, just to be thorough, regular digital cameras. Their objective: to record any events that couldn’t be explained as outside noises or defects in the building or equipment. Manager Chris Mathieson stayed until midnight, watching the team spend up to 30 minutes in each room, calling into the shadows while making recordings. They would work until daybreak. The investigators were meticulous and respectful of their surroundings, he recalls. “Being the old city morgue, it’s kind of perfect for this kind of investigation.” see page A11

A pair of candidates in the upcoming civic election have been before the courts in the past decade, Black Press has learned. Kuljinder Singh Gill, who changed his name to Gill 22 for the ballot, was found guilty of uttering threats and mischief under $5,000 in July 2004. He was also charged with assault the same year, and was found guilty of breach of his probation order. He served two weeks in Surrey Pretrial Services Centre for the offences. “Those are the serious ones (charges), those are going to give me nega- Kuljinder Gill tive feedback for sure,” Gill said Tuesday. “In the past, I have had a negative side.” He is now married with children, and said he realizes being on the wrong side of the law Gary Robinson is not the way to live his life. He is in a recovery program and has taken angermanagement classes, Gill said. The 31-year-old says he’s learned from personal experience that youth need more activities in the city. “Here the kids are shooting each other. Why can’t we do something more positive, like paintball or laser guns, or batting cages and roller hockey?” Gill said. His past, he said, gives him a range of experience those currently on council don’t have. Another candidate with a colourful history is ex-councillor Gary Robinson, who left office in 1999 after Black Press reported he had been battling a cocaine addiction. see page A4

it is always worthwhile to hear what ex-presidents have to say. Having Bush and Clinton on one stage is a tremendous coup for organizers, one that will be hard to top at any future summit. Yet Watts is in the midst of a re-election campaign, and many voters with little interest in the summit will remember that she hosted Bush in Surrey. That won’t be a vote-getter. Her advantage in the campaign is that opposition to her continuing in the mayor’s chair is weak and disorganized. There are now six challengers (one has dropped out) – but none have the name recognition, campaign organization, money or issues to bring her down. She has the same competitive advantage when it comes to her support for the two-cent gas tax increase and property tax boosts for TransLink, which are also controversial with many Surrey residents. None of her challengers have the ability to take her vote on that issue and defeat her as mayor, and she knows it. However, the reaction to Bush’s visit shows that some of her lustre is fading, as happens to all leaders. If she chooses to run again in 2014, and a serious challenger emerges, she may well fall victim to the nine-year curse that felled both of her immediate predecessors.

news Self-inflicted head wound didn’t cause driver’s death in exchange of gunfire

Officer cleared after shooting 30 rounds Kyle Slavin Black Press

A Surrey Mountie who shot and killed a 28-year-old man after an exchange of gunfire last March has been cleared of wrongdoing. An external investigation by Saanich police, released Wednesday, concluded that the officer did not contravene the Criminal Code when he fired 30 rounds from his 9-mm sidearm to reduce the threat posed by Adam Brian Purdie. Purdie was found dead in his car with the barrel of a .22-calibre rifle pointed at the cruiser the officer was in.

“The officer has the right to use as much force as he sees necessary to prevent his own injury or death,” said Saanich police spokesperson Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “One thing (the officer) was very clear with our investigators about is he realized he was going to die.” Though the fragments from only one 22-calibre bullet were found – inside Purdie’s skull as a result of a self-inflicted wound – two spent casings were located in the Surrey man’s white Chrysler 300. “We believe he did fire off rounds at the officer,” Jantzen said.

An autopsy determined that a shot to Purdie’s upper chest caused his death, not the self-inflicted head wound. Around 10 p.m. on March 2, Purdie caught the attention of undercover officers near 16 Avenue and 128 Street. A licence query determined he had a history of firearms-related offences. Forty-five minutes later, he was pulled over by an officer in the 15400-block of 16 Avenue. That officer spotted the rifle in the backseat, and Purdie sped away. Purdie’s vehicle was spotted again 15 minutes later travelling north on King George Boule-

vard south of Highway 10. Purdie swerved to avoid a spike belt, striking two vehicles. An officer used his vehicle to force Purdie off the road. When the vehicles came to a stop, he saw the muzzle of Purdie’s assault rifle pointed at him. He attempted to put his car in reverse, but his cruiser was stalled. The officer emptied 30 rounds, many of which did not penetrate the Chrysler door. The name of the officer involved in the shooting is being withheld. The six-year veteran has since been transferred out of province from a request prior to the incident.

Popularity compared

Poll places Watts ahead Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Controversy around having former president George W. Bush speak at Surrey’s economic summit last Thursday didn’t hurt Mayor Dianne Watts’ popularity. Neither did news that council considered selling land to a group looking to build a waste-to-energy plant at 32 Avenue and 192 Street. The day after those two events, a poll of Surrey residents showed Watts’ job approval was 68 per cent – the fourth highest of the 15 cities surveyed across the country. Toronto firm Forum Research conducted a telephone poll of 407 people in Surrey, on Oct. 21-23, and found that Watts’ job approval rating is 68 per cent. Out of those asked, 56 per cent said they would vote for her again. The poll is said to be accurate within 4.9 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Despite the timing, Watts came in fourth both in approval rating and likelihood of obtaining votes. Leading the nation was Mississauga Mayor “Hurricane” Hazel McCallion, 90, who, despite being embroiled in a conflict-of-interest situation last week, obtained a job approval rating of 78 per cent. Sixty-one per cent of respondents said they will vote for her again. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, described by Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff as “a new cool Albertan centrist,” is enjoying a 76-per-cent popularity rating, and 58 per cent polled said they would re-elect him. Regis Labeaume, mayor of Quebec City, has a 74-per-cent job approval rating, with 67 per cent saying they would put him back in office. Bozinoff said in a telephone interview Tuesday that Watts is enjoying some astounding numbers. “She’s doing really, really well,” he said. “In terms of our rankings, fourth out of 15 is really good.” Watts took 55 per cent of the vote when she was first elected mayor in 2005, and 51 per cent in 2008. Bozinoff said that if she can hold on to those numbers, it puts her on par with the likes of McCallion as a mayor who doesn’t lose the honeymoon period of popularity. The bottom dwellers in the poll were Toronto Mayor Rob Ford (37 per cent) and Montreal Mayor Gerald Tremblay (32 per cent).

South Asian fans strive to resurrect cancelled CBC show

Push to save Hockey Night in Punjabi Jeff Nagel Black Press

South Asian hockey fans are mobilizing again to try to save the Punjabi language broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada after the CBC cancelled the show last week. A spokesman said CBC was unable to secure a sponsor to offset the production cost. But fans of the weekly specialty cable TV show say it’s a cultural phenomenon that helps reconnect generations of Indo-Canadian families and tighten ties to Canada and the national sport. “We want it back,” said Surrey student Jasmine Samra, noting even elderly family members get swept up in hockey fever. Supporters on a 4,000-strong Facebook group devoted to the show hope the CBC relents. “Bring back Hockey Night in Punjabi,” writes Jaspreet Jessica Kaur Ghag. “How is there a lack of support?” Amarinder Singh, who co-hosts the program with Harnarayan Singh, said he’s getting 20 to 30 similar messages a day from viewers in the Lower Mainland, many of them from Surrey. “We have a huge following in Surrey,” he said. “I think it had a lot to do with the Canucks in the finals last year.”

Hosts Harnarayan Singh and Amarinder Singh, with Hockey Night in Canada’s Don Cherry. Many South Asian fans joined spontaneous suburban street celebrations during the team’s Stanley Cup playoff run. Hundreds of jerseywearing, flag-waving Canucks’ fans – largely South Asian – would celebrate after games at the intersection of 72 Avenue and Scott Road. Despite the crowds, Surrey gatherings remained peaceful, even after the team’s heartbreaking Game 7 loss to Boston, which sparked a full-on riot in Downtown Vancouver. Balwant Sanghera, president of the Punjabi Language Education Association, was part of a campaign that persuaded CBC executives to

back down from scrapping the show a year ago. “I think it’s gone a long way in promoting national unity and national pride,” he said. Besides introducing more Punjabi speakers to hockey, Sanghera said, it’s been a way for parents, grandparents and children to bond. “It brings three generations together,” Sanghera said. “It’s extremely beneficial to the community and to the country as a whole.” There are nearly 800,000 Punjabi speakers in Canada; it’s the most spoken language after English in cities such as Surrey and Abbotsford. The CBC has indicated the Punjabi broadcast, which started as a test in 2008, could return during the playoffs. And Singh said he’s optimistic a new sponsor will be found much sooner. That means Punjabi hockey fans could once again be hearing play-by-play calls like “mahriaa shot, keeta goal!” – the show’s translation of “he shoots, he scores.” Hosts opted to use some English words where Punjabi equivalents don’t translate well. There’s no Punjabi word for puck, for example, so they settled on “tikki” – the word for a disk-shaped potato appetizer. And since “barf ” is Punjabi for ice, they’ve stuck with “ice” instead of saying a player “barfed” the puck.

Candidates cite vast experience from page A1 In the years after he left politics, Robinson had a few brushes with the law, including an assault charge, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of stolen property. There are no charges after 2002. Robinson, now five-and-a-half years clean and sober, helps others overcome their addictions. Like Gill, Robinson said he’s bringing a wealth of experience to his run for council that none other can.

“(The charges were) part of the addiction and it’s part of the reason I’m running – to help other people that may go through the same thing to understand they can get out of it and success is possible,” Robinson said. The theft, he said, occurred when he took meat from a Safeway store. “When you’re in the throes of addiction, and all the money you have goes to maintaining addiction, you end up doing things you wouldn’t normally do,” Rob-

editorial

Community agency isn’t ‘family-first’ he decision by the Liberal government to stop paying performance bonuses to senior managers at Community Living BC provides a damning glimpse into an agency that has lost touch with its primary purpose. CLBC’s website says it exists to help “adults with developmental disabilities and their families achieve goals and live the life they want.” But recent decisions by CLBC to close group homes and cut services for mentally challenged adults suggest the only people achieving their goals are those managers earning bonuses. It’s doubtful the bonus benchmarks include happy developmentally disabled adults living in a supportive environment. To its credit, CLBC has never hidden its bonus program. It’s spelled out in documents readily available on its website; vice-presidents can earn up to 10 per cent of their annual base salary in bonuses and the CEO is eligible for a 15 per cent incentive. Last year more than $36,000 was paid to three vice-presidents, and another 60 CLBC employees made almost $300,000 in bonuses. The incentive program started in 2005. But it finally attracted the spotlight when families started to complain of developmentally disabled adult children being squirrelled away in hospital wards and seniors care homes because there was no longer a place in a group home, or being moved from a group home in which they had thrived for years because it was being closed. The furor also cost Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy his cabinet post as social development minister and Rick Mowles’ job as CEO of CLBC. Adults with developmental disabilities are some of the most vulnerable people in society. But with proper support and a stable environment, they can make valuable contributions and thrive. The bonus system might work in business, but in an agency working with vulnerable people it’s definitely not “family-first.”

phase, it’s important to remember that the loss of B.C.’s wild sockeye stocks would have far-reaching repercussions beyond our dining choices. With the sockeye may go many of the orcas, bears, birds and even freshwater fish in parts of B.C. That’s because salmon are, in many ways, the lifeblood of our watersheds. They act like a pipeline, bringing ocean nutrients far upstream. Wildlife from tiny insects to the biggest predators feast on their spawned-out carcasses and even trees are fertilized. Research has proven how salmon act as an extension of the forest’s root system, allowing the trees to draw nourishment not just from the immediate soil, but from the krill of the North Pacific. The loss of wild salmon, some people fear, may loosen habitat-protection laws, opening B.C. not just to more fish farms and hatcheries, but hydro dams, offshore oil drilling and more industrial pollution. For First Nations, whose heritage, culture, traditional diet and social customs are so deeply interwoven with the salmon, their loss is unfathomable. Even if Judge Cohen fails to come up with a single suspect, we need his best assessment of what’s gone wrong and how we can keep this marvel of nature for generations to come.

Suggestions for Big Brother civic hopefuls saves lives Editor: Since moving into White Rock three years ago, we have learned a lot from our current councillors. We recognize they love our city. Based on our observations, might we offer some suggestions for people running for councillor or mayor in November. Don’t become a councillor if you think it will make you crabby. Don’t become a councillor if you haven’t time to reply to all people, not just a selected few. Your pledge to the city is to communicate, not to ignore. For those who are unaware, city policy states that all paid employees must reply within five days. We have been waiting to hear from the majority of our present councillors for more than a year now – thank you Coun. Helen Fathers and Mayor Catherine Ferguson for your courtesy in replying to our enquiries. Don’t become a councillor if you don’t have the decency to keep from telling your family privileged info discussed in ‘in-camera’ meetings, especially if they can’t be discreet. Don’t become a councillor if all you intend to do is show up at public meetings and not genuinely listen. Remember, the public’s time is just as valuable as yours. Don’t become a councillor if your other job doesn’t allow you to show up at the majority of council meetings, public meetings, etc. Leave the seat open for someone else who can represent White Rock. How else will you know what the public’s different points of view are? Don’t depend on city staff reports. Don’t become a councillor if you don’t have a backbone to stand up and vote independently from your fellow crony councillors. Don’t become a councillor if you are not willing to apply city bylaws and the Community Charter. Don’t become a councillor if you will give in to the path of least resistance. Finally, don’t become a councillor if you are not willing to recognize that, on the whole, citizens of White Rock compose of a smart group of people. Please also realize these same citizens can at times feel incredibly incompetent when having to deal with the City of White Rock. If any present councillors wish to finally reply to us, we will gladly get back to you after the election. S. & D. Wilson, White Rock Q As we say goodbye to our oneterm-wonder mayor, I look around our city and two things still come to mind – transportation and economy. I still believe we need an Amtrak station in White Rock and TransLink needs to get much better bus service, like a direct bus to Langley. I depend on the bus. At present, it takes me two hours to Langley by bus, 30 minutes by car. I feel that if we spruced up our transportation hubs, it would mean more visitors and more dollars for our city businesses. Good luck to the next council – we will be watching you! Dan Hatcher, White Rock

Editor: How many times do you read in the paper about another senseless car accident where someone has been killed or seriously injured? Imagine the suffering and pain that brings to so many people. And the cause is very often that of speeding. The only way to address this is for better enforcement. Speeding is breaking the law, and those who flout the law should be held accountable. I would suggest B.C. can help everyone by reintroducing photo radar. Put them in the obvious places and B.C. will get an income bonanza they never dreamed of. One would be on Highway 99 in the construction zone where speed fines double. Why do all the cars pass me when I am doing the posted limit of 80 km/h in that zone? Who wins with more speeding tickets? The offending driver will learn a valuable lesson. The province will reap those huge

financial benefits, not to speak of reduced hospital and insurance claims. And you will have a greater chance of surviving B.C.’s roads. Lastly, if you don’t think enforcement works, take a drive to Calgary where Big Brother is everywhere. After your first or second ticket, you will slow down. As one who lives in both cities, I feel we in B.C. have become far too complacent when it comes to driving above the posted limit. Simon Bergen-Henengouwen, White Rock and Calgary

Still paying for my kindness Editor: About 10 months ago I was in a minor accident. As I waited to turn right, the woman in the intersection ahead of me turning left changed her mind and started to back up. I was yelling and honking but she was feeling flustered, I suppose, and backed into me. We pulled over, checked damages

and exchanged phone numbers. She wanted me to not call ICBC but rather get private quotes. I knew she was liable and – trying to be kind – spent a half day getting estimates. I called her and when she heard the estimates was surprised and asked me to get another one and call back the next day. By this time her number was disconnected. I tried in vain to do reverse number lookups, I also tried name searches but without luck. I am left holding the cost of the repair, or I will lose my RoadStar status and be stuck with a $300 deductible. I know I can’t write her name here, but what I am hoping is that by reading this you may know the woman who is responsible and encourage her to call ICBC and, at the very least, preserve what is left of her integrity. I also hope that everyone who reads this will learn by my mistake and always get the licence plate number of the car involved. Don’t worry about names or even trying to be kind and co-operative. Just be civil and write down the licence plate number. Stu Mitchell, White Rock

Letter-writer Marina McDuff – a Grade 10 student – laments that a spring protest at her high school changed little.

The bell tolls for thousands of us Editor: Earl Marriott Secondary is just one of the many overcrowded schools in the Surrey School District. The growing population in B.C.’s Lower Mainland is proving to be a problem for the already-crowded schools. The Surrey area needs new schools very badly. Earl Marriott Secondary is one of two schools that have had to have major adjustments due to overcrowding. One adjustment made is the new bell schedule, because the school could not accommodate the sheer number of students with its original four-block day. Now, there are five alternating blocks, with separate lunch hours for juniors and seniors to maximize the school usage. Another not-so-enjoyable situation is sharing lockers. Since there are only enough lockers for about half of the student body, everyone is forced to share. Another example is all the portables behind the school; students do not want to be out there but the main building is not big enough. There are many examples, but the most important thing is the lowered learning quality. Class sizes have increased, which means there is less one-on-one help from teachers, and the new bell schedule makes it difficult for students to catch up on something they have missed when they were sick. The overcrowding is negatively affecting both teachers and students. New schools may be what are needed, but unfortunately, that is far from what the government is giving out. At one point, not long ago, there were plans

for a new much-needed high school to be built, but before anything happened, the plan and budget was cut. Cuts in school district budgets seem to keep popping up. Parents are worried for their children’s education; teachers have to just make the best of it. Students are the most upset. Last year, when the new EMS bell schedule was announced, students led an organized walkout to protest. Even though the walkout attracted media attention, nothing was done to change it. The biggest question to be asked is what am I going to do about this? The easiest thing I or anyone could do is to write a letter to the local MLA, explaining the circumstances and describing what it feels like to be a student learning in this environment. I could also involve other people and do things like start a petition. Students could look at raising money for things within the school; funds could be put towards things like new half-sized lockers so everyone could have their own, another lunch-eating area so we can have spirit events, a bigger library, permanent portables with a covered walking area or more computer labs. I know we can make the school that we have right now better. In order for the students of today to be successful in the future they must first succeed in their education. Asking for new schools sounds like a lot but really it isn’t when they are needed this badly. Is asking for a fair education for children asking too much? Marina McDuff, Surrey

news Sex assault case heard in summer

WHITE ROCK MONEY MART 1812 152 nd Street

Taxi driver found guilty Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey taxi driver has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl two years ago. Wasim Malik was working as a cab driver on April 18, 2009 when he was called to pick up the teen, A.B., and her friend at about 3:30 a.m. and take them from a house party in the Bridgeview neighbourhood to one in Fort Langley. The pair, who had both been drinking, didn’t have money but a friend in Langley said he’d pay when they got there. There is a court-ordered ban on publishing any information that would identify the victim. When they arrived at the location, there was no one at the house. The girls had $20 between them and by that time the fare was about $40. A.B. testified she offered the driver a digital camera and mp3 player as collateral. Malik denied any collateral was offered, but said the girl said she would pay him later. He testified A.B. said “she would do anything for me,” but that he paid no attention to the comment. He was concerned about leaving the teens there and since he was going back to Surrey, offered to drive them. Malik dropped off A.B.’s friend in Cloverdale.

Coach Tours 2012 Being my last article for 2011, it brings me to reﬂect on our travels with both new and old friends. We say to all our new clients, “welcome to the Pitmar family”. We celebrated a 30th trip with one couple and many others were 15 and 20 trips with us over the past 15 years as Pitmar Tours. It is so hard not forming attachments to passengers as you get to know them and listen to their life stories. You truly do become friends. I love traveling on coach tours with groups and I get to call it work. There were a couple of unexpected mishaps on our US trips to the Cascade Mountains and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho that taught people to ensure you get interruption insurance and if you have private insurance, be prepared to pay ﬁrst and collect later. One of our passengers received a bill for $4500 when she got home for an emergency visit from a simple fall. No one plans to get sick or fall on a

A catered lunch on a winery estate grounds was deﬁnitely memorable. The fall foliage colors of the Cascades into Lake Chelan was breathtaking. Our day up the Lake on the spacious Lady II to Stehekin was sunny and warm. We are working on our 2012 program and are excited. Our tours change every year as we have many that travel with us often and they want to go to different places. Some of these trips are; Coach and Cruise in the Spring to California, Arizona; We celebrate the Calgary stampede’s 100th anniversary; Discover Vancouver Island; Mt.

…other times, they get the heebie-jeebies on-site from page A1 A month later, he got a DVD with the results. Although there was nothing unusual on video, the audio recordings showed EVPs – electronic voice phenomena – that were worthy of scrutiny. They included tapping, a sigh, a faint hoot and an eerie response to a question. The sounds were posted online at the museum’s website at www. vancouverpolicemuseum.ca There was also a conclusion from the group’s sensitive, Stella Hubert, who says she has been aware of the dead since the age of four, and can see and talk to them. “Their sensitive found numerous spirit personalities in our building,” blogged Mathieson after the event. “One of the spirits, discovered in the morgue, had a significant affinity for one of our staff members who resembled his wife. Meanwhile, a different (balding) gentleman apparently followed the sensitive around our top floor, annoyed that the investigators were there.” Mathieson, not a believer before the investigation, said he kept an open mind during the experience. “Fortunately for us, whatever spirits inhabit this space seem to leave us alone as we do our work at the museum. Maybe they understand that this is now a place full of life and activity instead of trauma, illness and sadness. “Let’s just hope they never get annoyed with us.”

That’s why it took a month for them to produce the evidence DVD for the Vancouver Police Museum. Janessa – like her husband, a Coast Mountain Bus Company driver by day – says analysts will spend hours concentrating on silent audio, to be suddenly surprised by a sound. Sometimes, their evidence is

It was a middle-aged woman with long hair, dressed in a suit of some sort, smiling. Another picture showed an image of a small child standing with them. There were three small images on another photo and an image of a man with a bald head. There was another picture… it appeared as though a young woman was standing in a reflection smiling, but half of her face was missing.” • FLEETWOOD ELEMENTARY: “Doors swing shut and orbs can be seen in the basement’s shower room. The janitor has seen ghosts in the boiler rooms. There are cold spots and also some touching – a possible explanation could be that it was a teacher who was murdered on his way home many years back.” • CDI COLLEGE: “There’s a report of two separate events of female apparitions seen in the college area.” • GROSVENOR ROAD: “Every so often, late at night, some have seen a mysterious young boy dressed in white, jumping around on the side of the road. A couple of years ago a grocery store (Fung’s Market) was burned down, killing a young boy. Is this Harvey Comics the same boy killed in the fire? Personally I’m sceptical when it comes to orbs. I can normally write them off as dust, moisture or particulate matter caught in the IR spectrum. However there have been many I can’t disprove, either.”

2010 took place at The Met Hotel in New Westminster. “George definitely talked to us when we were downstairs,” says Janessa, referring to George

William Grant, the architect of the 27-room heritage building that was built in 1892. “He’s doing his job,” adds Glen. “He’s (been) checking the

structure downstairs every day for the last 30 years.” Manager John Fialkowski says he’d heard rumours for years that the place was haunted, and welcomed the investigators. “I thought it would add to the folklore.” Kat Kothlow-Fleck, general manager of South Surrey’s Chateau Cargill, describes the TCPS team as very professional. She recalls that once in the past during a function, the staff were shaken up as a pile of silver trays flew clear of the closet they were stored in, landing hard on the floor. At other times, staff and guests talked about sensing paranormal activities in the form of nudging, sensations of heaviness or strange sounds. Last year, Kothlow-Fleck set aside whatever skepticism she had and stayed overnight as TCPS investigators probed the building, which specializes in weddings and parties. The DVD contained an unusual event, explains Janessa. One of the investigators was humming a tune from Les Miserables at 2 a.m. About 10 seconds after she stopped humming, she heard “chanson” – a male French voice prodding her to continue singing. It was picked up by a digital voice recorder. “Even if you don’t believe (in ghosts), it leaves you with questions,” says Kothlow-Fleck. She adds that regardless of the evidence, Chateau Cargill’s paranormal activity is not malevolent: “It’s not a haunting. It’s all very warm – the spirits are not negative.” Noises and visual disturbances in the form of orbs in photos or video are often difficult for the investigators to interpret. “Sometimes, if we can’t explain it, we ask the client if we can come back because we don’t want to present the evidence unless we’re absolutely sure,” explains Janessa. Last year, they stayed for two nights at The Keg restaurant in New Westminster. “It was fun for the staff,” says manager James Crape. He says the former CP Rail station, build in the mid-1860s, has been saturated with rumours about paranormal activity for years – some of it related to the great fire of 1898. see page A12

‘We don’t fudge evidence’ from page A11 Crape adds that while he’s had requests for years from different parties wanting to snoop around at night, he only let two in (one was a solo psychic). The TCPS group met his scientific standards as they explained what they wanted to do – and did it professionally. They’re not, he says, hokey people walking around with new-age crystals. The DVD he got weeks later, he says, contained “really neat stuff,” including a photo with “something interesting in it” and audio with voices that were clearly not those of the investigators.

Hardest to convince Glen Ferguson, the founder of TCPS, says when it comes to proving the paranormal, he’s the hardest guy to convince. “I’m probably the most skeptical person in the group. You’ve got to slap me around to get my attention. I don’t get spine-tingling feelings or anything like that. If I catch it on camera or digital tape recorder, great. Then I have some proof.” (He does admit to once being

scratched during an interview with a potential client: “I got a little bit too personal with whoever was in the building with this client”). He says the group takes invitations seriously, and vets for issues that could be abnormal rather than paranormal. “Sometimes you’re looking at an active imagination or they have some sort of mental disorder. I can’t go into any place assuming the place is haunted.” How their evidence is perceived depends on the individual. “On (the) record, we do not fudge evidence whatsoever,” Janessa Ferguson declares. “We do not enhance it unless the client asks afterwards. What is shown is what we’ve found.” If they find nothing, the client is told that. And it’s all done for clients at no cost – just don’t call these paranormal investigators “ghost busters.” “We don’t bust ghosts,” states Janessa. “We investigate, record and document. That’s it.” For more information, call 604-597-9005 or visit www. canadianparanormalsociety.com

Small businesses share ideas at chamber-hosted trade show Nearly two dozen South Surrey and White Rock business owners took part in the 2011 Small Business Trade Show Friday. Organized by the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, the noon to 7:30 p.m. event was created as an opportunity to network, learn about local shops and services and showcase. It followed a series of “elevator-pitch” training seminars that were offered to chamber members. Doug Hart, interim executive director of the chamber, said the effort was the first trade show held at the White Rock Community Centre. It drew “a good crosssection” of White Rock and Surrey businesses, he said. “We want to try and start doing new things,” Hart said. For Jaynee McKenzie, the trade show was an opportunity to help promote a fitness business, Trainers, and her boyfriend, who is a trainer. As well, it was a chance to see what is available in the local community. “It’s so nice, just networking with other businesses,” McKenzie said. “It’s really neat to see what our city offers.” David Roberts was on hand promoting the Whitecaps. He lauded the trade show’s “grassroots community feel.” Jacquie Lougheed,

Sarah Massah Black Press

A South Surrey woman single-handedly raised more than $3,000 for South Fraser Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Services by running her first-ever marathon. This week, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre received the cheque from the marathon, which was completed by Barbara Ann Kisilowski who ran 44 kilometres in less than five hours on May 1. Kisilowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to run was a result of hearing a story about a domestic abuse victim who was turned away by a shelter because it was full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many cases like this, where these women have no where to go and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave the situation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I read about these cases over and over again,â&#x20AC;? said Kisiloski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be your closest friend and you might not know about it. There is such a need for these shelters because they give women the choice to leave.â&#x20AC;? Kisiloski, a brand new grandmother who declined to give her age, had been active for years but had never taken on a full marathon. In July, while training, she tore her soleus muscle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and was told to rest for two months. Eager to train, Kisiloski went back too early and re-injured herself, setting her back again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to be very disciplined and take two-and-a-half months off. Then I joined Peninsula Runners in the fall to help with training and it was wonderful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a really good program that got me through to

accomplishing my goal,â&#x20AC;? said Kisiloski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge, huge commitment that required mental focus and physical focus.â&#x20AC;? After eight months of training, Kisiloski was finally ready for her marathon which raised a total of $3,455. According to Denise Darrell, the executive director of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre, some of the money will be used for their hot-lunch program and for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys at Christmas time. Darrell said Kisiloskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenacious attitude had left a lasting impression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so impressed with how low key she is about about it,â&#x20AC;? Darrell wrote in an email to the Peace Arch News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is modest about what she did, but this woman had an injury that prevented her from running for some time and then she trained to do this. I was touched.â&#x20AC;? According to the provincial government, 82 per cent of women residing in shelters in April 2007 were the victims of abuse. In the same study, 90 shelters reported that they had received more than 500 requests for various services including housing. For information go to: www.sfwomensservices. com/

LOUISE HUTCHINSON For White Rock Council Local politicians and their families celebrate the grand opening of the Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass, which extends over Highway 99 at 35 Avenue in South Surrey. Contributed photo

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;vital link in Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation networkâ&#x20AC;? was officially opened Saturday (Oct. 22). The Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass marks the completion of the largest investment in cycling infrastructure in Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, officials say. Community representatives joined federal, provincial and municipal politicians to help cut the ribbon on the overpass. The event also celebrated the new Winter Crescent Park, located at the foot of the structure, as well as the recent opening of the Tyne-

head Overpass and other cycling pathways throughout the city. The Pioneer overpass, over Highway 99 at 35 Avenue, spans 73 metres and connects neighbourhoods on both sides of the highway to regional cycling routes that will eventually connect to the U.S. border. The Tynehead overpass, over Highway 1 at 168 Street, is 122 metres long and connects Tynehead Regional Park with the Fraser Heights community. Officially opened in the summer, the project also includes 3.9 kilome-

tres of pathways and 9.6 km of on-street bike lanes. The federal and provincial governments each committed $3.58 million to the $12 million project, through the infrastructure stimulus fund. The City of Surrey provided the balance. Both overpasses include new public art projects, which consist of nighttime light features. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event included a neighbourhood block party, with entertainment, a barbecue, refreshments, family activities and cycling displays.

Many are happy that the kids will be more comfortable using technology as they move on to elementary school. “We’ve had great feedback from the parents – the parents are loving it and eventually we are hoping that every classroom in this school will have one,” said Slemko. Despite it only being at the school for a short time, Veen says she sees the longevity in a piece of technology like the Smart Board. “We’ve barely scratched the surface so far, there are so many games that will help them learn and build on skills,” she said.

requirements for obtaining fireworks this season. In 2005, Surrey implemented what is tantamount to a ban on possession, sale, or setting off of fireworks. Anyone looking to use them requires a federal supervisor’s permit (and it takes an estimated three years to acquire the permit). Since that bylaw was introduced, the number of nuisance Halloween night calls to Surrey’s fire department has

dropped dramatically. Those who violate the conditions in Surrey can receive a fine of up to $5,000 and/or six months in jail. In Delta, no one can possess or use fireworks unless they obtain a fireworks permit, which can be obtained from Delta Municipal Hall for a cost of $200 at least 10 days prior to the event. The fine in Delta for illegal possession or use of fireworks is $100 and the penalty for illegal sale is $1,000.

With Halloween just around the corner, RCMP are reminding residents, motorists and trickor-treaters to do what they can to stay safe Monday. Those planning to go doorto-door are encouraged to dress for the weather, wear or carry something reflective, travel in groups and cross roadways at designated points. Drivers are reminded to be particularly vigilant, and to use caution when backing in and out of driveways or laneways. Residents should aim to keep their driveways clear of debris, and their doorway and driveway well-lit. Real flames in jack-o’-lanterns or other display items should also be avoided, said White Rock RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet. White Rock fire officials are also issuing a reminder regarding the city’s fireworks bylaw, which prohibits both the sale and possession of fireworks. The latter is allowed for those who have been designated a fireworks event supervisor by the fire chief and have a valid permit. Those found violating the bylaw will be issued a minimum $200 fine. Surrey officials are also reminding residents there are

that federal negotiators have too narrow a mandate, and have to go back to Ottawa for approval of each area of agreement.

Premier Christy Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent jobs plan included a target of 10 new non-treaty agreements with aboriginal people by 2015. Resource agreements for timber, and more recently mine revenue sharing, have helped to keep the momentum for broader treaties going, Polak said.

The enthusiasm of little ghosts, super heroes and terrifying monsters during Halloween can sometimes cause them to forget some basic safety rules which they have already been taught. Parents are there to remind them of these rules but also to enforce a few instructions in order to make Halloween celebrations in the street or at home as creepy as they are safe.

Two men taken to hospital

AUCTION

Crash downs power lines, slows traffic ongoing, however, excessive speed has been identified as a contributing factor. The crash left approximately 3,000 customers without power, affecting those located between 24 and 32 avenues and 148 and 152 streets. While the intersection was initially expected to be closed for about four hours for cleanup and repairs, it did not reopen to traffic until around 9 a.m. Monday. The crash was the second at that intersection in less than three weeks. Oct. 4, five people were injured when a Nissan Versa clipped a Ford pickup. Witnesses to that crash told police the Nissan driver had run a red light. - Tracy Holmes

A minor crash late Sunday caused major problems in South Surrey Monday morning. Traffic was backed up west of 152 Street as work- and schoolbound motorists were diverted from the intersection of 24 Avenue and 148 Street while crews worked to clear wires downed when a power pole was knocked over. The crash happened just after 11 p.m. Sunday, when a pickup southbound on 148 Street lost control and hit the pole. The truck came to rest on its side at the southwest corner of the intersection. Police say two South Surrey men were taken to hospital as a precaution. Investigation is

Land transfer approved A proposal to transfer land that was dedicated to White Rock back to its owners was given the green light Monday. (Incorrect information appeared in the Oct. 20 Peace Arch News.) The suggestion regarding a section of lane adjacent to 14847 Prospect Ave. received first, second and third reading at the Oct. 3 council meeting. The road-closure bylaw needed to facilitate the land transfer received final reading at the Oct. 24 council meeting. It passed with Coun. Doug McLean opposed.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR LOCAL CREEKS AND STREAMS

During the next few months there is going to be a lot of rain. After it falls rain goes, untreated, down the storm drain straight to streams and creeks taking harmful chemicals and pollutants with it. Everyone needs to do their part to help protect the local streams and creeks because salmon and trout need a clean and healthy habitat. By taking preventative measures and making environmentally wise choices you can prevent pollution from reaching local streams and creeks.

FISH TIPS

The rain washes dirt and oil from driveways down the storm drain, so make sure when you clean your driveway that you direct all dirt and water onto your grass as it acts as a natural filter.

If you see a storm drain covered with debris, take a second and clear it off. This will prevent flooding and keep the debris from going down the storm drain which can affect fish habitat.

ONLY RAIN DOWN THE STORM DRAIN IF YOU SEE A SPILL CALL 604-590-7226

Two men are alleged to have stolen a large number of TransLink FareSaver tickets that were destined to be shredded. Neither he nor TransLink would say how many tickets had originally been sent for shredding or whether a larger number may have gone missing. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the transportation authority will reconsider how it shreds tickets and other sensitive material. Some other agencies bring in a shredder to work on site rather than sending material out, he

said. “It’s one of the things our risk management people will be looking at,” Hardie told Black Press. “If they are not satisfied that the current process is adequate, they’ll work up options.” MacDonald said possession or dealing stolen FareSavers is an offence and passengers should only buy tickets from licensed dealers.

Two men face charges of stealing and trying to sell a huge number of TransLink FareSaver tickets that were slated to be shredded. Patrick Robert Parry, 46, of Surrey, and James Gordon Hemenway, 40, of Vancouver are alleged to have stolen about 80,000 of the prepaid transit tickets worth $153,000 that had been taken to the shredding firm where they worked, Transit Police said. They face theft and fraud charges and appear in Vancouver court in December. FareSavers come in books of 10 tickets and the ones missing were to be destroyed in the spring of 2010 because TransLink had just raised transit fares. “They were selling them on the streets,” said Transit Police Insp. Brian MacDonald, the force’s acting deputy chief of operations. “We’re alleging the two employees of the company stole the FareSavers before they went into the shredder.” He estimated the two accused men stole “a couple of pallets” of FareSavers.

Surrey Little Theatre’s latest production, At First Sight, on stage till Nov. 26

Local talent presents story of family dysfunction

Contributed photo

The cast of At First Sight, by Surrey Little Theatre.

Surrey Little Theatre will kick off its 2011’12 season with the kind of laughs only a bit of family dysfunction can provide. The comedy, At First Sight, a tale of two generations of siblings and a mysterious love interest who turns all their worlds upside down, hits the stage of the little playhouse on 184 Street, beginning Oct. 27. Written by Anne Pié, directed by June Ainsworth and featuring four Langley actors, the play takes audiences through a fast-moving day in the life of a middleclass California family. At 48, Julia Goldman thought she had experienced it all. Although she had been widowed for three years, she was left financially well-fixed with two grown children who were busy with their successful careers.

Life was routine and uneventful for Julia in her Hollywood home. She thought she would just ease into the rest of her days without anything notable looming on the horizon. But an accidental encounter in the cocktail lounge of a posh hotel changes all that, when she meets a man who sweeps her off her feet and then disappears, leaving her with much more than just a fond memory. The sibling rivalry of her children, plus her own rivalry with her flamboyant sister, Verna, add to the complexity, and to the resolution of her plight. Langley’s Kate Bergen, Diane Gendron, Philip Hale and Andy Wood will share the stage with White Rock’s Robyn Bradley, Emily Wilson from Coquitlam, and Surrey’s Michael Ringland. Director Ainsworth has a long history

of British theatre in her veins – acting in her first pantomime at six years old. She started her Canadian theatrical career 30 years ago in Fort St. John, with Stage North. Since arriving in Langley she has been involved with productions at both Bard in the Valley and Surrey Little Theatre. “I love the creative process in theatre, whether designing, directing or acting,” she said. At First Sight runs from Oct. 27 to Nov. 26, Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays (Nov. 6 and 13) at 2 p.m. Surrey Little Theatre is located at 7027 184 St. Tickets are $15, with a two-for-one night on Friday, Oct. 28, and a gala night on Saturday, Oct. 29. To reserve tickets call 604-576-8451 or email reservations@ surreylittletheatre.com

are mainly inherent in the script, which has a tendency to abandon logic and believability in its determination to shock and surprise. Some guesswork in this production is unnecessary, however. We shouldn’t have to wonder, for instance, if an unclear sound effect is the flushing of a toilet, breaking glass or the operation of a garburetor. And while the Players Club has provided a serviceable basic set for the moorland cottage, the mismatched furniture and decor suggests basement rec room, not the country residence of a prosperous English couple. It may be argued that Accomplice is a play in which nothing, ultimately, is quite what it seems. But anything that undermines the sleight-of-hand at any point in the proceedings, as this does, has to be counted as an unacceptable distraction. Accomplice continues nightly until Saturday (Oct. 29) at 8 p.m. at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.

arts & entertainment Join conversation about art of translation

Take a tour with curator The Surrey Art Gallery is hosting an informal tour of its three fall exhibits on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 7:30-9 p.m. Leading the tour is the gallery’s curator of exhibitions and collections, Jordan Strom, who will provide background on the distinct approaches and techniques of the many artists whose work is featured in the exhibitions Brendan Fernandes: Disscontinent and Dipna Horra: Dhunia – Part One, and the group exhibition Finding Correspondences. These exhibitions explore the role of language translation and cross-cultural translation, which have been so important for the formation of individual and group identities in contemporary life. There will be time for refreshments and conversation after the tour. Admission to the event is by donation. Surrey Art Gallery Association members are free. The tour will examine how and why the particular artworks on display were chosen for the exhibitions, illustrate interesting stories about how the artworks relate to the artists’ previous work, and illuminate the many ideas explored in the exhibitions.

Lack of players forces squad to sit out rest of season

Mariners’ senior football team folds players.

smaller guys... it just wasn’t good,” MacKay-Dunn said. One of Marriott’s players was also just returning from a concussion, and though he was medically cleared to play – and did, for a time – MacKay-Dunn pulled him midgame for precautionary reasons, further depleting the lineup. The team began the season, in early September, with about 25 players – still far fewer than many high school teams – but injuries took their toll on the roster. A few players also quit mid-season to focus on other commitments, MacKay-Dunn said. MacKay-Dunn, who has coached the Mariners since the school’s football program began in 2005, was “extremely disappointed” to have to shut down the senior squad

for the season. He met with the players Monday to tell him of the decision. The players were as upset as he was, MacKay-Dunn said, but understood. The junior and Grade 8 teams will still finish the season, the coach said, and there was a chance the senior team would return in 2012, but likely in a lower division. MacKay-Dunn said he knew he’d have to play with a small roster this season, but pushed ahead anyway for the sake of his core players. “I was concerned about numbers at the start of the season, but I was stubborn and bull-headed, and I wanted to give our guys – the ones who’ve played since Grade 8 – the chance to play senior football,” he said.

“Plus, we finally had our new field, and wouldn’t have to play every game on the road… we just wanted to play.” After playing without a home game for two seasons – Marriott’s field underwent extensive renovations the last two years, and only re-opened in September – MacKay-Dunn said the latest setback adds to his frustrations. “We started this program in 2005 and we made some really good strides,” he said. “But now it just feels like we’re moving backward. It hurts. It all hurts.” The team will hold an intrasquad scrimmage Friday “so we can have some fun and try to end things on a positive note,” MacKay-Dunn said.

Argentina’s Guillermo Bertola came in beside him, the win by Weinberger only confirmed after a video review. “The race was very hard. There were a lot of experienced swimmers here,” Weinberger said. “For the last finish, I just tried to outsprint everyone and it worked out that I did.” Results for other local athletes in Guadalajara include:

Big wins for Titans Three White Rock-South Surrey Titans’ squads earned victories on the football field Sunday, with a fourth losing a nailbiter by just two points. The peewee Titans had the day’s biggest victory, beating the North Surrey Cardinals 38-6. The Titans, who trailed 6-0 early in the game before storming back with 38 unanswered points, were led by Michael Dowhaniuk, who had touchdown runs of five, 51 and six yards as well as a 60-yard interception return for a score. Thomas Van Egmond also had a six-yard rushing touchdown – and a number of other big plays in the game – and Eduardo Gonzalez kicked four pointafter conversions. Defensively, the team was led by Noah Brown, Dillon Miolla, Lucas Frers, Jarod Roberson, Lucas Biffart and Tyrese Jeys-Morrison.

Flag division The Titans edged South Delta 10-8 Sunday, thanks in large part to the kicking ability of Lucas RogersWilson. Rogers-Wilson converted both Titans’ touchdowns to give the Peninsula side the win. Running backs Lucas Rolling and Teran Rai also performed well

on offence for the Titans, while linemen Ethan Olive and Andrew Westman also had strong games. On defence, the team was led by Ili Djordevic and Brody Walton.

Atom division A late touchdown by the Langley Broncos was all that came between the Titans and a victory Sunday; a TD with two minutes left gave the Broncos a 38-36 win. White Rock had the lead early – they led 14-6 in the first quarter and 22-14 near the end of the second – on touchdowns from Kulsher Randhawa, who had a twoyard TD run, and two scores from Isaiah Edwards. Edwards added a third touchdown in the third quarter, which tied the score at 30-30, but Langley battled back to win.

Midget division The White Rock-South Surrey Titans proved again why they’re one of the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s top teams, with a 30-14 win over the Langley Stampeders. The Titans had an 8-0 lead after the first quarter, on a TD from Peter Kilberg and a punt from Riley Cantner, which sailed through the end zone for a single point. In the second, quarterback Cole Meyer connected with Andrew Darcovich on an 11-yard TD pass, and the duo hooked up twice more later in the game, once on a 60-yard touchdown and also on a 45-yard score. Defensively, Mike Bouchard, Jacob Snow and Shayne Spencer had one fumble recovery apiece to go with a number of tackles.

sports Baysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier-league hopes take hit with loss DEREK GRANT

Sharks dumped by Burnaby Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The Bayside Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; premier league rugby hopes took a hit on the weekend, after a 27-15 loss to Burnaby Lake in elite menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action erased their chance of finishing high enough in the standings to secure one of two automatic premier league berths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disappointing, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Bayside coach Pat Kearney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not our best game of rugby, by any means. We just made too many mental mistakes.â&#x20AC;? The Sharks now sit fourth in the BC Rugby Union standings, and will have to advance through a qualification process if they hope to be able to play in the BCRU premier circuit when it

begins in the New Year. If they are not successful, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play in the first division. Saturday in Burnaby, the Sharks fell behind early, trailing 10-3 at halftime, but in the second half, the Sharks made it 10-8 on a try from Cass Conkin. Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cole McQueen scored the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third try soon after, however, to extend the lead again, Bayside closed the gap on a try from Bruce Roque â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was converted by league-leading scorer Peter Clifford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the Sharks would get no closer before the final whistle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a close game and Bayside showed that they are a quality outfit,â&#x20AC;? said Burnaby Lake head coach Kris de Scossa in a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think we were a little bit sharper and we showed improve-

At the Grade 8 level, Semiahmooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Julia Greer, along with teammates Kara Lauer, Dominika Paige, Alise Burgart and Amanda Shaw were all among the contenders, while fellow Totem Chelsea Ribeiro was one of the top runners in the junior girls race.

ment in our discipline and kept our penalty count down. All the teams trying to qualify for the Premier League are top sides and the games continue to be very close.â&#x20AC;? Bayside (4-2) is five points back of first-place Capilano, and will host Vancouver Rowing Club (1-5) Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Though their path to the premier league is a challenging one, Kearney said his team has not given up hope of qualifying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal has not changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t writing off the season,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to bounce back here against Rowing Club to finish off the (regular season) strong, then prepare to go to war in the qualification round.â&#x20AC;?

Trail runners lace up at Fraser Valley race Some of the Lower Mainlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top high-school trail runners converged upon Aldergrove Park Wednesday, for Fraser Valley Cross-Country Championships. Results were not available by Peace Arch Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; press deadline, but a number of Peninsula athletes were expected to be in the running for medals.

Semiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rachel Cho and Alison Williams were expected to do well, while Brandon Figueroa and Liam McKay, both from EMS, were among the top runners in the senior boys division. The top runners at Fraser Valleys qualify for provincials, which are slated for next weekend in Kelowna.

OCTOBER 27/2011

Open-plan living is becoming more and more popular

Great rooms fantastic for entertaining When you imagine a great room, you probably think of a big hall in a castle, or a large open room in a mansion. However, you don’t have to be royalty or wealthy to have a great room of your very own anymore. Like the grand chamber in a castle, a great room still tends to be an open space that can be used for several things, including a dining room or living room. Most tend to feature high ceilings, and often adjoin the kitchen. A great room was extremely important to Rick and Fiona Hickman, who recently purchased a home at Morningstar’s Avondale development in Coquitlam. “We wanted a place with an open plan,” Rick says. “A big kitchen that was open to the living and dining room was important.” Great rooms are becoming increasingly

popular in new home developments, and are especially appealing to homeowners looking to entertain frequently. Great room layouts have also migrated from single-family homes to townhouses and apartments. Aragon’s The Station in Port Moody includes large great-room-style spaces in many of their floorplans, as does Barber Creek Development’s Edgewater in Surrey and Sandhill Development’s Elements in Langley. “The great room is my favourite feature,” says Corina Accili. Accili and her partner purchased a home at Benchmark Homes’ Yorkson South development in Langley. “The layout was exactly what we were looking for,” Accili says, adding that they love the columns that separate the great room from the kitchen.

‘You’re in perfect balance’

Ascend rises to new heights in Fleetwood by Kerry Vital

Ambros Construction has truly risen to new heights with its newest development, Ascend in Fleetwood. With everything you can possibly imagine within its walls, your new home will be more than a place to lay your head. “Someone really thought about the features,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. “There are so many thoughtful touches.” Some of those thoughtful touches include pull-outs in the kitchen, perfect for keeping things to hand while also hiding them away, and bright track lighting that will illuminate your space while still putting you in the best light (no harsh florescent lighting here!) Bathrooms in some plans include extra cabinets and shelves, so you will never run out of room to store your lotion, toothpaste or makeup. The kitchen itself includes a glass mosaic feature behind the range that includes tiles in the shape of a hexagon. This hexagon is repeated all over

the development, building off of Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water theory. Every home at Ascend has been built with this water theory in mind. It states that water molecules form a hexagon shape when in perfect balance. This shape is something all life forms are drawn to, and thus forms the foundation for the design of Ascend. “You’re in a perfect balance (at Ascend),” Edmonds says.

bar in most homes that is dramatically but practically lit by galaxy-style chrome and glass pendant light fixtures. At the end of the day, everyone needs somewhere to relax. The bedrooms at

Ascend are tailor-made for this, with their soft broadloom carpets and soothing colour schemes. Ensuites include a relaxing soaker tub and a five-foot walk-in shower with a luxurious Moen 90 Degree rain shower head. The development includes 169 homes, 12 of which are city homes that feature a second

floor. The homes start at 515 square feet for a junior one bedroom, and go up to 1,124 square feet for the two-level city home. A junior one-bedroom has recently become a popular layout on the new home market, and features a bedroom that doesn’t have an exterior window.

“These have sold really well because of the price point,” Edmonds says. “Their price is comparable to renting.” One of the major draws of Ascend has been its location. “This is a well-established, safe, walkable neighbourhood,” Edmonds says. “The location is great.” Close to shopping, restaurants, schools and recreation, homeowners at Ascend are never far from everything they could possibly need. Homes start at $165,800 for a junior onebedroom. For more information visit www. liveatascend.com or call 604-596-2202.

‘Botched’ policing let Pickton kill, inquiry told Jeff Nagel

Black Press

he Missing Women Inquiry opened earlier this month to blunt accusations that both Vancouver Police and the RCMP badly bungled their investigations, letting serial killer Robert Pickton murder several more women after he should have been caught. Cameron Ward, the lawyer representing 18 victims’ families at the inquiry, called the conduct of both forces “inexcusable and egregious.” In an opening statement to the inquiry Oct. 11, Ward said dozens of women vanished “right under the noses” of the VPD in the Downtown Eastside and were murdered under the noses of the Coquitlam RCMP on Pickton’s Port Coquitlam pig farm. “The families of the missing women are absolutely outraged by what happened in the handling of this case,” Ward said. “They believe the authorities are culpable in the deaths of over a dozen women because the authorities’ negligence enabled Pickton to literally get away with murder for more than five years.” He said the families believe the VPD, RCMP and B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch all have the blood of the victims on their hands. High on Ward’s “list of wonders” of how police botched their jobs, is the fact Pickton in 2000 walked into the Coquitlam RCMP detachment and offered to let them search his farm but the Mounties turned him down, even though plenty of evidence by then pointed to him as the prime suspect. “They don’t bother,” Ward said. “We know the remains are there. We know after 2000 many more women are murdered there. It’s literally unbelievable.” Police had an even earlier chance to stop Pickton in 1997, when he handcuffed and attacked a sex-trade worker in his trailer, but the badly bleeding woman fought back, escaped and survived. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder, forcible confinement, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon but all charges were stayed in 1998 amid questions about the credibility of the drug-addicted victim. Why the case was dropped will be a key area of the commission’s focus. It took a rookie RCMP officer, acting on a tip about illegal guns, to get a search warrant for the farm in February 2002 that uncovered ID of missing women and finally led to Pickton’s arrest that month for murder and the massive 18-month forensic search of the property for DNA of the victims. Ward said he will also want to now why it took until 2004 – seven years after the 1997 incident – before the RCMP tested the cloth-

ing and other items seized from him then and discovered the DNA of two of the missing women. Police also had tips, the inquiry heard, in 1998 from Surrey resident Bill Hiscox who suspected Pickton was killing the missing women. Hiscox told them Pickton had women’s purses and easy methods of disposing of bodies. They’d also been tipped by at least three people in 1999 that addict Lynn Ellingsen witnessed Pickton slaughtering a woman in his barn. She initially denied it when questioned but ultimately testified at trial, helping convict Pickton. Despite all that evidence, Ward said, Pickton was able to keep tak-

ing women from the Downtown Eastside to his farm, killing them and butchering them – “unhindered and unmolested by the police” – until his arrest in February 2002. The DNA of 33 missing women was found on the farm. Pickton was convicted in 2007 of killing six of them but had told an undercover police officer he killed 49. Commission counsel Art Vertlieb said other questions to be examined include: • The VPD’s handling of missing women reports, including whether women from the Downtown Eastside were treated differently than those from wealthier neighbourhoods. • Allegations a VPD clerk refused help to aboriginal family members or dismissed reports of missing sex trade workers. • How well police forces worked together and shared information and whether a “turf war” within the VPD undermined the early investigation. • Why VPD officials resisted a theory by crime profiler Kim Rossmo that a serial killer was responsible and refused to warn the com-

munity, insisting that the women were missing but not necessarily dead. • Whether a lack of police resources and competing priorities in Coquitlam were to blame when RCMP didn’t follow up after an initial interview with Pickton in January 2000. This week, the stepmother of missing woman Marnie Frey told the enquiry she had combed Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside before dark tips about “Willie” and a wood chipper led her to the Pickton farm in Port Coquitlam years before police raided it. Lynn Frey said Monday she climbed a fence to get into the Pickton farm in search of clues to her drug-addicted daughter’s disappearance but turned back when two Rottweilers appeared on the other side. “I saw tractors, vehicles and big mounds of dirt and grass,” she said. “I didn’t see any bodies or anybody there.” Frey said it was the fall of 1998 – just over a year after 24-year-old Marnie vanished see page B4

Province moves to raise gas tax Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province has introduced legislation to raise gas taxes two cents a litre in Metro Vancouver to help fund TransLink’s expansion plan and build the Evergreen Line. The increase, requested this month by a majority vote of Metro mayors, would take effect next April and is expected to quickly pass with the support of the NDP. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the province will then formalize its agreement with TransLink, issue a request for proposals for the Evergreen Line to three pre-qualified bidders and get shovels in the ground “as quickly as possible.” He was reluctant to promise a construction start by year-end but vowed it will be soon. The long-stalled $1.4-billion SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam was once sidelined by a decision to build

the Canada Line first and had been derailed in recent years by a deadlock with the province on how to fund TransLink’s share. Lekstrom and mayors agreed earlier this summer to raise the gas tax and work together to find new funding sources over the next year. He repeated that pledge and said he’s very aware Metro mayors oppose any scenario that would increase property taxes, which is the backup mechanism if talks with Victoria fail to yield new sources. “I’m an optimist,” Lekstrom said. “I believe we’re going to find a solution that’s going to work for everyone.” That’s critical, he said, because TransLink needs a long-term funding solution so it can build more infrastructure beyond what’s contemplated in the new Moving Forward plan. “There has to be some certainty going into the future.”

Report due in ‘12 from page B1 from the skid-row hotels she frequented. She said she zeroed in on Pickton’s lair after prostitutes predicted Marnie was dead and suggested a man at a farm with a chipper was responsible. She had made repeated trips to Vancouver from her home in Campbell River to search for Marnie. Others searching for missing women played her a tape recording of a man claiming to have information, Frey testified. “You’re never going to find these women,” she said the voice on the tape said. “They went with Willie and he’s got the chipper.” Some prostitutes told Frey they’d been to a farm with a chipper 45 minutes from the Downtown Eastside near a fast-flowing muddy river. Frey reasoned the farm had to be near the Fraser River, likely in New Westminster, Coquitlam or Surrey. She relayed her suspicions to her foster daughter, Joyce Lachance, who lived in Port Coquitlam. “She said ‘I know a guy by the name of Willie. He has pigs and he has a chipper on his farm. I can take you there blindfolded.’” They drove that night to the Pickton farm, where a sign warned “Pit bull with AIDS” and Joyce was too scared to leave the car. Perched atop the fence, Frey was just a stone’s throw from the remains of her missing daughter – although confirmation wouldn’t come for another five years, when searchers found Marnie’s right jaw bone and four teeth on the farm. Frey said she told her suspicions to Vancouver Police Dept. Const. Lori

Shenher, who gave her “heck” for climbing the fence but promised to investigate. Several more women would die on the farm before the RCMP searched it for illegal guns in February of 2002 and then arrested Pickton for murder. He was found guilty of six counts, including the murder of Marnie Frey, although 20 additional charges never went to trial and Pickton claimed to have killed 49 women. The inquiry is probing why police failed to catch Pickton sooner and what can be done to prevent similar tragedies again. “If a civilian – an old person like me living in Campbell River – can figure out there’s a farm, how come the police can’t figure out there’s a farm?” Frey demanded. A Vancouver Police Union lawyer disputed some of Frey’s claims under crossexamination, saying Shenher has no record that Frey reported visiting the Pickton farm. The lawyer asked whether she could be mistaken about reporting it to Shenher or perhaps that her trip to the Pickton farm did not happen in 1998. “I think there’s a big coverup here,” Frey responded. “I know what I did. I know I went on the farm.” Frey told the inquiry she believes police failed to take the cases of missing women seriously, adding she felt “lost, empty, like I was garbage” after being turned away by police who suggested Marnie had merely taken a vacation. The inquiry was supposed to report back by the end of this year, but that timetable will be extended into 2012.

More than a year after negotiators finished their work, the federal government has formally approved a treaty with the Tlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amin Nation north of Powell River on B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south coast. A majority vote by about 1,000 people in the reserve community, previously known as Sliammon, would clear the way for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth modern-day treaty agreement. The fourth, with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, still awaits approval by the House of Commons before taking effect. The Tlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amin treaty includes 6,405 hectares of provincial Crown land, added to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original six reserves totalling 1,917 hectares. Ottawa is to provide $29.7 million over 10 years, plus economic development funding of $6.9 million and a fishing vessel fund of $250,000 for participation in commercial fisheries. As with other treaties, Tlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amin settlement lands would convert to fee simple ownership and the Indian Act would no longer apply. The agreement also includes transfer of two small properties, one near the Powell River ferry dock and another on Savary Island, both subject to local land use rules. Mary Polak, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister of aboriginal relations, said Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long delay in moving the Tlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;amin treaty forward is one

Metro taxpayers may foot bill

Costly sewage upgrades loom Jeff Nagel Black Press

Taxpayers from all over Metro Vancouver may be forced to help pay a huge bill to rebuild the sewage treatment plants that serve Vancouver and the North Shore. Those cities are supposed to cover more than half of the expected $1.4-billion cost of upgrading the Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants that serve their residents. But Metro Vancouver chief financial officer Jim Rusnak told a recent budget meeting the region may change the existing formula to create a single sewerage area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; effectively making all areas pay equally for the upgrades to secondary treatment. That would soften the hit to taxpayers in Vancouver, North and West Vancouver but make property owners everywhere else pay more. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt warns it could jack annual sewage fees by perhaps $200 per home in areas like Surrey, Langley and the northeast sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not fair,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said, adding he hopes an internal review by regional administrators will torpedo the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise you will hear an awful lot of screaming from South of the Fraser and it will be a very uncomfortable process at Metro.â&#x20AC;?

Hunt said the North Shore is understandably alarmed about the bill, which threatens to add $1,000 to the annual fees each household pays unless Ottawa and Victoria step in with big cost-sharing grants. But he said the current formula set in 1996 forced areas like Surrey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which uses Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annacis Island treatment plant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to pay the bulk of the costs when Annacis was upgraded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was fair then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair now,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said of the formula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys who are hurting are screaming. The rest of us are saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem? You made us pay for it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yell at the federal government.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Even with no change in the formula, around 45 per cent of the upgrade cost would be spread across the region. As a result, sewer bills are projected to climb as much as 300 per cent over the next 20 years in areas like Surrey, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge. North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto is pressing the province and the federal government to each shoulder one third of the costs. But he doubts the Metro cost-sharing formula can be rejigged to force non-benefitting cities to pay more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fly,â&#x20AC;? Mussatto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to pay a lot for theirs. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t now say they should pay for ours as well.â&#x20AC;?

THE CITY OF SURREY IS CELEBRATING OVER OF VOLUNTEERISM IN PARKS!

Since 1986, the City of Surrey’s Partners in Parks Volunteer Program has worked with individuals, schools, corporate groups and community groups to pick up litter, remove grafﬁti, maintain garbage and recycling bins, paint, plant and even help out with small community events within Surrey’s parks. In more recent years, volunteers have led park walks, facilitated play and education programs and welcomed park visitors. With the growing numbers of volunteers and an increased interest in caring for the environment, new opportunities were created in 1998 to focus on the natural areas within Surrey’s parks. Environmental Programs’ volunteers restore natural areas by removing invasive plants, planting native trees and shrubs, removing dumped garbage and yard waste and enhancing wildlife habitats. The Surrey Youth Stewardship Squad (SYSS) was created in 2006 to give high school students an opportunity to work together to care for the environment. 2008 brought the development of The Surrey Nature Centre at Green Timbers, offering a range of environmental education programs in the beautiful natural setting of Green Timbers Park. Volunteers help with special events for families, children’s day camps and unique nature projects.

In addition to the personal enjoyment volunteering provides, these priceless contributions continue to help enhance structures, grounds and natural areas, as well as to increase awareness and a sense of ownership of our parks. This year we celebrate over 25 years of volunteerism in Surrey’s parks! We’d like to thank all of you that have donated your valuable time and energy to make our programs a success.

THANK YOU SURREY PARKS VOLUNTEERS!
