New growth to generate an additional $5.1 million
Surrey tax bills expected to climb $115 Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Tax bills will be going up by $115 for the average home in Surrey next year if staff recommendations are accepted by council in the coming month, Black Press has learned. Surrey is on track with its fiveyear plan, holding to a 2.9-per-cent
tax increase ($37) next year, while extending a one-per-cent road levy ($13) annually for about another five years. As anticipated, utilities are also climbing. Water and sewer services are going up by $20 each and garbage pickup is increasing by $25. The cost of utilities are determined
by the regional district and the price of garbage hauling is driven by a third-party contract. In all, the property taxes and utilities on the average home valued at $531,000 will increase from $2,616 to $2,731. Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the city’s finance committee, said the figures
are nearly exactly as anticipated in last year’s five-year plan. Surrey has managed to keep the taxes in check despite some immense cost pressures, including $11-million worth of increases in staffing levels and salaries, both within city hall and the RCMP. Part of that figure takes into
account the hiring of an additional eight firefighters and 10 Mounties next year. Gill said paying for those increases was possible with the use of $6 million generated from the property tax increase along with $5.1 million in new growth. � see page 4

Stamtakis had hoped to add the smelts to his frying pan, but fate was on the smelts’ side – and he went home empty-handed. Tom Zorbakih – a fellow fisherman just 10 metres to Stamtakis’ east – managed little better, netting one lone smelt.

The latest draft of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy could spell trouble for White Rock’s future, the city’s director of planning and development services warned Monday. Paul Stanton told council that language changes he noted in Metro’s September draft leave the door “wide open” for the Semiahmoo Town Centre – which straddles South Surrey and White Rock – to fall victim to unconstrained growth in Grandview Corners, by not setting limits on ‘local centres.’ In a November 2009 draft, no such centres were identified for the White Rock/ South Surrey area, Stanton notes in a report outlining his concerns. As White ❝There’s already been Rock has already displacement from felt adverse effects the town centre to of development in South Surrey’s Grandview Corners.❞ Grandview CorPaul Stanton ners, with that White Rock city planner area having a ‘local centre’ designation, “it is highly likely that the ‘local centre’ will continue to grow at the expense of the ‘town centre’ area, in direct contradiction to the policies contained in Strategy 1.2 of the draft strategy,” Stanton writes. “They really need to give more clarity to the role and function of the local centre,” Stanton told council Monday. The Regional Growth Strategy is intended to help guide the region’s development – from local and regional land use plans to infrastructure and transportation services – through 2040.

Homicide clues sought Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Police investigating the shooting death of a 51-year-old South Surrey man are looking for anyone who may have seen an erratic driver between the murder scene and Aldergrove Thursday morning. A suspect in the Oct. 7 crime is believed to be the same individual who carjacked a green, 1998 Acura Integra from the 17600block of 24 Avenue immediately after the murder. Police descended on the area at approximately 7 a.m. Thursday, in response to two reports of shots fired. They found the victim, identified as Randall Davis, at the end of a driveway at 17692 24 Ave., and learned a neighbour of the property had been carjacked moments before. The neighbour’s Acura was last seen heading east on 24 Avenue. It was found a couple of hours later, abandoned near 29 Avenue and 266B Street. Anyone who saw the car between 7 and 10:30 a.m. Thursday is asked to contact the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team’s tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. On Thursday, IHIT and officers with the Lower Mainland Tactical Troop, along with a police dog team, searched the property. Investigators continued to comb the murder scene for evidence the next day, and 24 Avenue remained closed to traffic between 176 and 180 streets. Police were also talking to neighbours, at least one of whom reported hearing cries for
help in the moments before the shooting. “We need to speak to each and every neighbour in the area, we will be looking to see if they have seen anything out of the ordinary over the last few days,” Carr said. It is still unclear if Davis’ killing is linked to drugs, gangs or organized crime, Carr said. He confirmed Davis lived at the property where he was killed, but would not disclose the victim’s relationship to two people found inside the home Thursday morning. According to court records, Davis was due in court Thursday afternoon, on drug charges related to an April 2007 offence in Langley. He had another court date on the same matter scheduled for Nov. 12. Police have not found anything to suggest the Oct. 7 court date is linked to the murder, Carr said. Online comments in response to Peace Arch News’ report of the murder describe Davis’ home as one that was opened to anyone who needed it, including animals. “Randy was a good guy, a master chef and one hell of a musician,” writes one reader from Langley. “My children and I will miss him dearly.” Thursday’s homicide is not the first in South Surrey this year. IHIT continues to investigate the death of Donald Robert Reid, who was killed in the driveway of a 172 Street home May 22 (cause of death has not been released), as well as the May 16 shooting death of Chhminder Singh Gill in Morgan Creek. There has been “absolutely nothing” new in those investigations, Carr said.
Berner’s son guilty of murder The son of a woman recently convicted in the driving death of a four-year-old girl has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a young father. Joshua Berner, 26, was charged after Benjamin Warland suffered fatal stab wounds on Feb. 1, 2009, following a confrontation aboard a transit bus. The court heard Berner was one of two men aboard a Coast Mountain bus who got into an altercation with Warland before the stabbing.

A short time later, after Warland got off the bus, another altercation transpired, and Warland, a 23-year-old father of a young boy, was found lying in the front yard of a house. Berner maintained he acted in self-defense. Monday, a B.C. Supreme Court jury found Berner guilty of second-degree murder. Berner is the son of Carol Berner, who was convicted last summer in the 2008 impaireddriving death of toddler Alexa Middelaer. - with files from CTV News

Mayors call for analysis on effects to economy
Minimum-wage hike overdue: Ferguson Alex Browne Staff Reporter
The mayors of White Rock and Surrey didn’t sign a call by 21 B.C. Mayors for the provincial government to increase the minimum wage from $8 to $10. But both White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts say they are in favour “in principle” of raising the minimum wage in B.C. However, both said they would like the province to do a thorough analysis of the impacts an increase would have on business and the economy in general. “It’s overdue,” said Ferguson, who said the first she was aware of the Oct. 5 joint letter signed by the mayors – including Delta’s Mayor Lois Jackson – and the B.C. Federation of Labour was when she read media reports of it.
“It’s high time we took a look at this. It’s time for the province to do some work on this, get back to us and answer to the public.” Ferguson noted White Rock council sent letters to the Lower Mainland Local Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities in March Catherine Ferguson 2009 calling for an increase White Rock mayor to the minimum wage. “In the last few months it’s been brought to light that our minimum wage is the lowest in Canada and yet we have, quite possibly, the highest cost of living,” Ferguson said. “There seems to be as disparity – I find it a little bit unnerving that we’re not in line.” Watts was more cautious in expressing sup-
port for a blanket raise of the minimum wage. “I have no issue with people making more money, but we have to look at the economics of it across the board,” Watts said. “We should certainly be at par with other provinces, but it’s not as simple as putting Dianne Watts up the minimum wage.” Surrey mayor Watts said there should be analysis that looks at all the impacts of such a raise in conjunction with other impacts, such as the introduction of the HST and a general rise in costs and wages. “Small business is the largest job creator and economic supporter any city has, so you’ve got to be careful. The economic
analysis needs to be taken in terms of what the business sector is able to afford. There may be other ways – such as benefits, cost sharing and profit sharing – to achieve the same goal.” Ferguson said while she also favours a thorough analysis of the impacts on the cost of doing business, she believes it’s the provincial government’s responsibility to look at all aspects of the issue. “It’s time for the province to take a hand, do the study and determine what impacts it would have,” she said. “We can’t have things stay the way they are, and do nothing. “I’d like to see a good business-case study for us on how it will affect business and the economy, but also the impacts to people who are earning a rate lower than the national rate. It’s extremely expensive to live in our city and in this province.”

South Surrey resident’s successor for health authority board not yet identified
Barefoot takes early leave from Fraser Health Jeff Nagel Black Press
Fraser Health Authority board chair Gordon Barefoot is stepping down, saying he intends to pursue other commitments after three years of steering B.C.’s largest and fastest-growing health region. Barefoot, a South Surrey resident, is departing early – his term had been extended last year and was to run until September 2011. “I’m a very busy guy right now,” Barefoot said Friday, after serving on the board since 2006, the past three years as chair. “I felt I just couldn’t balance everything so I decided it was time to move on.” Barefoot is chair of the board of the Corix Water Group of companies and the AutoCanada Income
Fund.

chair has been named. Falcon, who said he “very regretfully agreed” to let Barefoot go, plans to take his time selecting a replacement board chair, a position that comes with a $45,000 stipend. “I didn’t want to have to rush to make that decision,” Falcon said. “I want to find someone that’s going to very clearly understand the commitment to serve as chair of Fraser Health and make sure they’re comfortable with that.” He said he will look at both existing directors and other candidates in the community. The board has at least one director with close ties to Falcon, MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale. Chris Gardner, one of the newest, is Falcon’s longtime friend and
political ally, and former adviser to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. Falcon said Barefoot has been “instrumental in the growth and development of health care in the Fraser Valley” and if anything had pushed for a faster pace toward aggressive health policy reforms.
Guasparini also leaving
Also retiring from Fraser Health is Dr. Roland Guasparini, who has served as medical health officer for 23 years and had been the authority’s first and only chief medical health officer since 2002. FHA president Nigel Murray said Guasparini was one of B.C.’s strongest advocates for public health, promoting evidence-based decision-making to guide the region.

Surrey taxes kept low, says Gill � from page 1 Surrey staff also expect to borrow from future surpluses, typical of budgets over the last decade. It is not known how much the city is thinking about borrowing to balance the books. Gill noted the recommended taxes are being kept at planned
increases despite a “very aggressive” Build Surrey Program. That program lists about $175 million in capital projects to be built over the next six years. The road levy – which was due to expire this year – will now continue to 2015. The initial purpose for the levy was for work
on side roads. It will now help pay for improvements on major arterials, such as King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway. In 2010, Surrey had the lowest property taxes in the region at $1,308. The city’s finance committee is expected to consider the budget in the coming month.
White Rock asks Metro for limits � from page 1 duced over the past four years. Municipalities have been given until Oct. 15 to comment on the latest version. The public hearing and adoption process is expected to get underway in November. The city was generally supportive of the November 2009 draft, Stanton said. But he recommended council make concerns regarding the latest version known. “There’s already been displacement from the town centre to Grandview Corners.” Councillors voted in favour of Stanton’s rec-
ommendation that the city ask Metro Vancouver to revise the strategy to include criteria limiting the size and function of ‘local centres’ to ensure they remain secondary to ‘town centres.’ Mayor Catherine Ferguson noted the Regional Growth Strategy is “for the future” and looking at a bigger picture. “It’s going to 2040,” she said. Stanton agreed with Coun. Doug McLean that the ‘local centre’ designation recognizes areas
of growth, and that South Surrey/White Rock could end up with two town centres. Ferguson agreed with McLean that a plan looking at the whole of the Semiahmoo Peninsula is needed, in addition to the regional plan and the city’s own Official Community Plan. Councillors supported a recommendation to ask Metro Vancouver to restore the strategy language for the Regional Recreation Greenways Network.

night. “You guys totally got the style of it, fully committed to the choreography and found a way to make it unbelievably entertaining to the audience,” judge Dan Karaty said. This week’s performance show takes place Wednesday evening. The Top 8 will not only do a couples routine and a solo, but will also have to master choreography by Sean Cheesman for a group number. The Top 8 will be working with returning choreographers Stacey Tookey, Sabrina Matthews, Danny Arbour and judge Luther Brown. An elimination show Thursday will see two more dancers leave the competition. The winner and runner-up will win a Mazda2 and the top dancer will win the title of Canada’s Favourite Dancer and the grand prize of $100,000.

Surrey dancers Nathalie Heath and Danielle Gardner are among just eight dancers remaining on So You Think You Can Dance Canada. The TV competition lost two more contenders last week – Charlene Hart of Abbotsford and Calgary’s Edgar Gilbert-Reyes. Heath, 23, who danced a mambo with Denys Drozdyuk on the Wednesday performance show, was one of the two girls who received the lowest number of votes after last week’s nation-wide poll, despite guest judge Karen Kain’s comments that she was impressed by the South Surrey woman’s performance. With voting now based on individual competitors instead of couples, each dancer had the chance to perform a solo of their choice. Heath’s contemporary performance allowed her to squeak through to the next round.

Minimum wage due for change
T
he call by 21 B.C. mayors for an increase to the minimum wage is only the latest addition to a growing chorus of voices in the province. And while White Rock Mayor Catherine Ferguson and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts didn’t sign the recent letter sent out jointly with the B.C. Federation of Labour, both say it’s time the issue received serious analysis. As Ferguson points out, a situation in which the minimum wage is the lowest in Canada – in a province in which the cost of living is close to the highest in the land – cannot continue unaddressed. Some cite the economic downturn as a bad time to introduce an increase to the minimum wage. Now that the economy is staging a slow recovery, others will argue it’s not a good time to hamstring entrepreneurs with yet another hurdle – particularly in light of the HST and other galloping costs of doing business. There are others, presumably, who would argue that an increase of the minimum wage would reduce the benefits of any business boom. But this begs the question – when would be the “right” time to introduce an increase? If not now, when? Certainly not when the economy hit bottom. And there was no indication the provincial government was willing when things were very, very good. The fact remains a minimum wage that traps B.C. workers below the poverty line can never be the sign of a good or healthy system. It cannot be the base line on which doing business in this province can be predicated. Building a society on a too-low minimum wage is the equivalent of building on sand. And the result will be cracks in the very structures we struggle to maintain. People who cannot exist on B.C.’s minimum wage may be invisible for the most short-sighted of us, but they will inevitably surface in terms of social costs. And they certainly won’t buy the goods and services that businesses must sell in order to survive. Unless one rejoices in a world in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we cannot countenance a continuation of the status quo while maintaining we are a just society. By all means study and analyze the impacts on business and the economy of raising the minimum wage. Explore other ways to improve the lot of working people, including increased benefits and profit sharing. But be sure to factor in the continued impact of a low minimum wage on people who are struggling to keep their heads above water.

demand, or on “tax relief ” of some sort. You might remember when Prime Minister Stephen Harper rolled back the GST from seven to six and then five per cent. Like the price chopper at Wal-Mart, Harper whipped out signs with the new rate emblazoned in big blue numbers. This first appeared on the national news, and was then repeated in campaign ads. Campbell and Hansen have 11 months to execute a similar strategy. B.C.’s HST contract with Ottawa requires the province to keep the rate at 12 per cent until July 1, 2012, after which time the seven per cent provincial share can be changed. But as Hansen indicated, they could announce a rate cut any time they want. Some time before the referendum would be useful. Also yet to be determined is the wording of the referendum question. Elections BC officials have to approve it, but the cabinet will craft the wording. Once the rate cut is promised, the referendum could then offer voters a choice. Keep the HST and see the rate go down in nine months, or vote to scrap it and see the old provincial sales tax come back at seven per cent. Without a rate cut, what would be the incentive for you to take time out of a sunny September Saturday to go down and vote for the HST? With the promise of a rate cut, the HST has a chance of surviving. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Inflexibility dogs council
City’s share doesn’t add up
Editor: Re: No exception to dogs on promenade, Oct. 6. I just read the response from White Rock council regarding the request for a one-time exception for owners to bring the dogs on the promenade for the fundraiser to benefit Kent Street Activity Centre. I am appalled council has vetoed this simple request. We are talking about one day – a two-hour event! Surely, one day of our furry friends walking with us for a good cause would not lead to total anarchy on White Rock’s promenade. City council needs to pull their heads out of the sand and realize this event would be self-monitored and cleaned up by owners involved. Council’s response is a reflection of their hostile attitude towards our dogs, and their inability to move forward in a progressive manner. The council needs to recognize dog owners are not second-class citizens who have no voice. Dogs on promenades have been allowed in West Vancouver and the sea wall in Stanley Park for decades. I have had the pleasure of walking my dogs there many times, and never has there been an issue – with dangerous dogs, poop, etc. If there are issues, they are dealt with on an individual basis with appropriate action taken for each case. Perhaps White Rock’s archaic bylaws are in place to support city coffers, as the fines for an infraction of dogs on the promenade are significant. If this is the case, then perhaps the city could for once enforce the noise bylaws of loud motor vehicles that continuously roar past my restaurant, Giraffe, every 10 minutes in the summer. Coffers would overflow, so there would be no need to continuously increase parking rates, which gouge visitors and negatively impact perception of our city. Jamie Humphreys, White Rock ■ How many more times does the reader see “my doggy” stories, this time on the promenade? Wake up, people. No is no. Blame your friendly companion that leaves dog presents for others to clean up, or invent a doggy diaper, so people don’t have to look where to step next. Suan H. Booiman, White Rock
Editor: Re: Wait is over to help ‘vulnerable’ students, Oct. 6. This feel-good story, unfortunately, has a negative side that illustrates the arbitrary and whimsical nature of White Rock council’s groupthink decision-making process. The participation by the city in this “partnership” began with a letter from the chair of the Surrey Board of Education that appeared on the agenda of a council meeting at the end of July. A decision to approve the city’s participation was made that night, with only the mayor voting against it. In my nearly 28 years in local government – 23 with White Rock – I have never seen an elected body respond to a request for a significant amount of money without the benefit of a staff report and an opportunity to debate the expenditure in a meaningful way. Not only did this council not wait for a staff report, they approved the $35,000 annual commitment on the
A warning would suffice Editor: Re: Costly date, Sept. 1. You report an Abbotsford teen was ticketed after he eased his car between boulders on Blackie Spit to get a better view of the water.

The wooded area at back of Dogwood Park, at 13485 20 Avenue, abuts the fields of Elgin Park Secondary.
Playtime at dog park poses danger Editor: It is as a final plea that I submit this letter to your newspaper for attention. I am writing on behalf of the many dog walkers, both professional and leisure, that frequent Dogwood off-leash dog park on 20 Avenue. As most know, the dog park borders on Elgin Park Secondary. Over the years, park goers have had to contend with high school students eating their lunches in the dog park and leaving their garbage behind. They have created their own little “hangout” by cutting a hole in the chain-link fence. Kids will be kids, so we have placed a garbage container and pleaded with the teens and the administration of the school to keep the litter under control. It is on more than one occasion that dog owners have had to fish a sandwich, still wrapped in plastic wrap, out if a dog’s mouth, fearing it would cause bowel obstructions and other intestinal ailments for the dogs. In this instance, we simply ask for co-operation from the school. This past year we have faced a new problem. The PE teachers at the school have decided that the off-leash dog park will serve as the new playground for classes to play capture the flag and other such games. Can you imagine what happens in the park when 30
screaming, shrieking teens pop up from behind trees, swinging from branches, trying to tag one another running and flailing their arms in the air? The dogs either try to join in, jumping on and chasing the kids, or they react in fear, barking, growling and, yes, nipping at running children. Sometimes the dog just simply runs away, terrified, much to the owner’s distress. Those in the dog park know what I am talking about. Those who do not frequent the dog park should be aware that their children are in danger. The teachers say it is a “public park.” I do not dispute this. I have a teenager myself. I think the kids should be active and running around. But why there? What will it take, a severe injury? And again, it will be the fault of the dog and its owner. Please, this needs to stop. Something bad will happen. Parents should be aware. Even the best-trained dog, no matter how loving, can become aggressive when it becomes frightened. Let common sense prevail, and please put a stop to this. We do our part to bring our dogs to an area designated for them – a property left to them to enjoy and run free. Marion Bueckert, Surrey

Smart meters will end “We wouldn’t go grow-ops: fire chief anywhere else!” Kevin Diakiw Black Press
New BC Hydro technology will enable cities to shut down every illegal pot grow-op within their borders, according to Surrey’s fire chief. The province has ordered the installation of “smart meters” in every home throughout B.C. The devices will show homeowners – and BC Hydro – their power usage in real time. Under Bill 25, municipalities will also have access to that data. Surrey fire Chief Len Garis says that will mean an end to grow-ops in this city and any other that chooses to use the data. Garis is the architect of the Electrical Fire Safety Initiative (EFSI), a team of firefighters, bylaw officers, city inspectors and police officers that
can place an order on homeowners to allow an inspection of the residence within 72 hours. If the homeowner doesn’t comply, the city comes back with a warrant to enter. The homes in question are flagged by high power usage – often caused by hydroponic grow lamps. However, if the power is bypassed or stolen, it is virtually impossible to detect them through BC Hydro. That will all come to an end with smart meters, Garis said. Small clusters of homes will feed into a neighbourhood box which will measure the power usage in that small area. Stolen power will be detected in real time. In addition, spikes in power will be detected instantly. The smart meters are expected to be fully installed in 2012.
No-smoking pilot a success Surrey parks and beaches may all be smoke free soon. A pilot project at select parks and beaches is being hailed a success, and it’s anticipated city parks staff will recommend to the parks, recreation and culture committee that the initiative go city-wide. During the pilot project, Surrey staff placed signs at about six sites, asking people not to smoke in that area. Coun. Mary Martin, chair of the Mayor’s Task Force on Health and chair of the parks committee, said
only one person had to be asked not to smoke in that area. She anticipates there will be an expansion. “(I think) signs will be put up at all city parks and beaches,” Martin said. Such an expansion would likely have a fine attached to non-compliance, however, Martin couldn’t say at this point what it would be. If the plan is endorsed by the parks committee, it will go to council, where a bylaw amendment would have to be passed. – Kevin Diakiw

Preserving Surrey’s heritage as there are always new residents, new people and children that access information about Surrey heritage and heritage resources,” according to recent Heritage Advisory Commission (HAC) minutes. Linking heritage with sustainability and tourism will also be important for successful preservation, Luxton said, noting he would like to see a “hybrid” foundation, which would include two financial models: flow through (money in-money out) and fundraising. Coun. Barbara Steele said she is pleased to have the Luxton report coming before council Oct. 18. She said one of the key initiatives for Surrey will be to broaden the definition of heritage to include not only buildings, but transportation and culture.
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
An expert in heritage preservation is recommending the City of Surrey spend $50,000 to get a heritage foundation up and running. Donald Luxton, a Vancouver heritage consultant, says a heritage foundation would preserve Surrey’s historically valuable sites and infrastructure. Luxton has been working with the Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission for several months to determine the best way to preserve heritage areas. Last month, Luxton came forward with a model for a heritage foundation, which would have the ability to raise funds for preservation. “There can never be too much heritage information and education

Kwantlen Polytechnic University students hoping venture will help immigrants
Nurses help launch women’s clinic
Your “Do it Yourself” supplier of ready-mix concrete & services Catering to the homeowner Ask us about our Fall Special
Sheila Reynolds Black Press
Nursing students at Surrey’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University are hoping a women’s clinic they’ve helped launch will open doors to immigrant women who may be fearful of dealing with sensitive healthcare issues. Topics such as birth control and other sexual health issues are often taboo in certain cultures, says Krista Rohachuk Smith, a fourth-year nursing student at Kwantlen. Sometimes it’s a case of women simply being embarrassed, while other times they may be targets of scorn or ridicule by their family and/or community. The result? They don’t get the treatment, counselling or other important help they may need. “Typically in some cultures, if a woman has something wrong, perhaps a breast or gynecological surgery, they have no one to go to,” says Rohachuk Smith. “It’s very hush hush. It’s not talked about.” Under the guidance of instructor Dr. Balbir Gurm and past Kwantlen nursing students who began the program last year, an immigrant women’s health clinic has been set up in association with Progres-

Anyone who has travelled or has a good heart and a good spirit will love our family run restaurant Reporter: Ross and Rosy, how has the first two weeks of business been for you? Ross and Rosy: Busy. We loved it, while being stressed with all the things a restauranteur deals with at opening. We had a well known restaurant in Chilliwack called Gabacho’s Cantina from 1994 through 2002. We tripled in size winning best restaurant in the city multiple times with Public votes. Also best in Western Canada with a group of critics in Vancouver. Our biggest thing, after eight years out of it, is remembering all the tricks. We have a small place, and when the people pile through, as they have, it has been tricky. The good people go along, and the rest are the rest. We do our best with new staff and location, and the toy kitchen. R: Why eight years between restaurants?
out, all in multiple reprints, and become very close with Rosy. She will be coming up here shortly, and will be at the restaurant to say hi and eat Rosy’s cooked-fromscratch food. R: What do you cook from scratch? R & R: Well for instance, the beans. We boil the beans for 25 minutes and then add the salt and onion. After the process, we add just enough pork fat to make you nervous and make the beans taste great. R: And your chile rellenos? R & R: We buy poblano chiles fresh, nothing canned, and grill them, steam them, peel them and then stuff them with cheese or meat. We then coat them in egg whites and lightly fry them in a shallow pan. Served on a bed of lettuce and covered with Rosy’s made from scratch salsa: tomato, cilantro, onion, and serrano chile.
R & R: My wife’s family had cancer, both Mom and Dad. We lost mom and then one Saturday, with Gabacho’s packed, Rosy got the call to come immediately. She flew down that night at 4 am, but her dad passed before she landed. We had to go to Mazatlan and we lost everything. I came back to Canada with $2500 Stacey Alina, Rosy & Ross to start again, three years later. No credit, no one to call. But we had a daughter, Stacey Alina, we had to get back to Canada for the life this country offers to those who work hard. It was a tough, downright horrible time... but we never gave up. I sent for my beautiul family one year later, and four years later, here we are. By the grace of God, and a little luck.
The salsa we serve is made daily from Rosy’s recipe. After living in Mazatlan, Guadalajara, Celaya, reat and Mexico City, it is a great thing to be able to eat this great Sinaloa food here in Canada.
R: What is a toy kitchen?
We make the best t. Margaritas on the planet. Fresh fruit, tequila and Triple Sec. 1oz. 5.99. 2oz. 7.99. and 10.50 for 3 ounces. For the walkers – not the drivers.
R & R: A small kitchen designed for smaller orders, not gourmet long hand food. We make it work. Each day we find new things to do to make it better. Rosy is from Mazatlan, and is known for her cooking down there in a big way. She is friends with Dona Cuca, a well known chef, now 80. She has a few cookbooks

Cab companies installing cameras, considering other safety measures
Arrest made in taxi robberies
#111, 19231 54th Avenue, Surrey I 604-575-8870
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A Surrey man has been arrested and charged in connection with a string of five taxi robberies that occurred over the last two months. On Aug. 14, Surrey RCMP responded to two separate holdups of taxi drivers in Surrey. The perpetrator, after entering the vehicle, used violence and threats of violence to rob the drivers before fleeing on foot. The drivers gave similar descriptions of the suspect. Then, on Sept. 14, three more taxi drivers were robbed by a man of a similar description in the previous incidents. A week later, police identified and arrested 25-year-old Jackson Mould, of Surrey. Don Guilbault, general manager of Guildford Cabs, Metro Taxi, said all cab companies are doing everything possible to ensure driver safety, including installing cameras in every car and providing an emergency button in the cabs. Asked about the possibility of a protective barrier –

Two women have reported frightening encounters while out for walks in Hi Knoll Park in recent weeks. A Langley woman was out in broad daylight Oct. 2, walking her two dogs from the Nicomekl trail, through the 200 Street underpass and just into the wooded area of the park when she felt someone watching her. She turned to see a white man, in his late 30s or 40s, masturbating and staring at her. “He was just staring at me and I couldn’t get away,” she said. She phoned her boyfriend to come and then called 911. On Sept. 20, another Langley City woman was walking along the trail between 200 Street and 201 Street with her baby in a stroller when a man approached her. He asked for the time and when she said she didn’t have it, he started harassing her, keeping very close to her. He

Langley RCMP have released a sketch of a suspect who accosted a woman on Sept. 20.
eventually left the woman alone and she called 911. In the most recent case, the man is described as unshaven, with dark, messy facial hair, wearing blue jeans and blue checkered lumberjacket. He may have been wearing a hat and had a knapsack. In the case from last month, the suspect is described as white, in his 20s, 5’11”, with short brown hair, dark facial stubble and blue eyes, wearing a baseball cap and all brown outfit.

Mayors balk at property-tax hike Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver mayors say they feel betrayed by the province now that it appears they will be asked to vote to jack property taxes to build the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam and fund an array of other TransLink projects. The premier signed an agreement with mayors last month pledging a wide-ranging look at all possible transit funding options, but municipal reps were told Thursday that property taxes are the only source that will be on the table when a vote comes in December. An average $600,000 home that now pays $220 a year in property tax to TransLink would pay an extra $31 a year to raise $412 million towards the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line and another $53.2 million for the phase one of the North Fraser Perimeter Road, which would extend United Boulevard. The tax hit would rise to $54 per home if mayors agree to go further and fund a second list of 13 more projects worth an additional $337 million. They include launching express B-Line bus service down King George Boulevard in Surrey to White Rock, a direct White Rock-Langley shuttle and Bus Rapid Transit over Highway 1 between Langley and Burnaby – which the province had touted as part of its $2.4-billion Port Mann Bridge/Highway 1 project.
obviously had no intention of coming forward with any alternative ways of funding the system, or TransLink wouldn’t be here two weeks later trying to get access to the property tax.” He also noted the funding only covers capital costs of new projects. Corrigan said TransLink’s cost estimates minimize the impact on households, especially those in areas of the region with higher property values.

Port tax tussle heats up
said, adding local cities are in active talks with the authority. A Municipal Port Property Taxation Fairness Commission appointed by Metro Vancouver recently concluded port taxes need to rise in line with other municipal property taxes. It also suggests naming a dispute resolution panel to adjudicate disputes.
Local cities could go to court to try to force Port Metro Vancouver to pay back property taxes the municipalities say are owing.

Water to power
Water spilled over the dams that hold back Metro Vancouver’s two North Shore reservoirs may be harnessed to generate electricity. The regional district has been weighing the idea for some time but is now aiming to present a draft plan to the provincial government next year to install generators. Metro water committee chair Tim Stevenson, a Vancouver councillor, said the region’s priority will remain delivering high-quality drinking water. “But we also want to develop a flexible water use plan that maintains fish habitat and enables the generation of green, renewable energy from water that spills from the reservoirs.” Past estimates have suggested the Capilano reservoir alone could generate 16 megawatts of power for most of the year if turbines were added at the Cleveland Dam. Metro may also be able to generate power on the water pipeline that carries water down from the new Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant.

Minister defends ‘smart meters’ for BC Hydro Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – B.C. won’t make the same mistakes as Ontario when it introduces “smart meters” for electricity consumers over the next two years, Energy Minister Bill Bennett says. Interactive power meters that continuously tell each customer how much power is being consumed are supposed to help them save money. The B.C. government has ordered BC Hydro to install them across the province by 2012. But after millions of the new meters were installed in Ontario, more than 80 per cent of customers there are paying more for electricity under a new time-of-use rate structure that raises rates for peak uses like supper-time and offers cheap rates for offpeak times.
Black Press photo
Bill Bennett says B.C.’s plan for “smart meters” is different from Ontario’s.
NDP energy critic John Horgan seized on that news last week and predicted a “disaster” for B.C. if it presses ahead with smart meters. The estimated $1 billion cost of B.C.’s new meters would be better spent on energy retrofits such as efficient heating and

ual meter readings, and customers will no longer have to call in to report power outages. 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 “self-healing,” 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. Bennett said Ontario has chosen to pay heavily subsidized rates for wind power, pushing up the province’s already high electricity rates. He said B.C. is developing its own rate subsidy program for emerging technologies such as bioenergy and tidal power, not proven sources such as wind or solar.

insulation, Horgan said. Bennett said in an interview Wednesday that B.C.’s plan isn’t based on using higher rates to get people to run dishwashers or clothes dryers at night. “We’re well aware of what’s going on in Ontario, and the business case for our smart meter program is not based on time-of-use rates,” Bennett said. “We don’t even have time-of-use rates yet in British Columbia, and when we do it’s unlikely that they’ll be mandatory. They’ll probably be voluntary.” People could then choose to take advantage of off-peak power rates or stick with the existing rate structure, which charges a higher rate after a certain monthly consumption has been reached. That rate structure is designed to encourage energy-saving home improvements. Smart meters have other advantages, Bennett said. They eliminate the need for man-

James boots MLA out of New Democrat caucus Tom Fletcher Black Press
Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson has been expelled from the B.C. NDP caucus for criticizing leader Carole James. James released a statement just after midnight Thursday.
“Through his public comments (Wednesday), Mr. Simpson has made it clear that he would rather criticize our work than contribute to it,” James said. “He has made it clear that he does not want to be part of our team.”
The move came after it was revealed that the Cariboo North NDP constituency association planned to call for a review of James’ leadership. A motion up for consideration describes the party as “wilting” with James as leader,
with membership and donations down. Simpson also posted
a comment on a Williams Lake news website in which he
criticized Premier Gordon Campbell for a lacklustre speech at
the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler.

Marathon memories
The feverish days of the dance marathon craze of the 1930s – in which desperate couples were forced to dance for days and days in attempts to win cash prizes – will be recalled at the launch of a new book, Silver Rain, by South Surrey children’s author Lois Peterson, Saturday, Oct. 16, 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the White Rock Arthur Murray Dance Studio, 15151 Russell Ave. In her book, Peterson (The Ballad of Knuckles McGraw, Meeting Miss 405) tells the story of Elsie Miller, who learns about the rough world of soup lines, shanty towns and dance marathons while trying to keep her family together in hard times in Depression-era Vancouver. “The venue for Oct. 16 couldn’t be more fitting,” said Peterson, who said she is pleased Arthur Murray franchise holders Grant and Dawn O’Kane agreed to host the book launch. “As a character in my book says, ‘dancing should be for celebrating, not as a means of exploitation’.” The event will include a
dance demonstration, readings, refreshments and draw prizes. For more information, visit www.loispeterson.net

Mariners sending six to national tryouts Nick Greenizan
E
Sports Reporter
ven when Quinton Wilms was in the eighth grade – when both he and most of his Earl Marriott Secondary teammates were new to the sport of rugby – he knew he was part of a special group. Sure, they were still learning the game at the time, but still, he just had a feeling. “I kind of figured back ever since we first started playing here, back in Grade 8, that this kind of thing could happen,” said Wilms, now in Grade 11 and a flyhalf on the Mariners’ senior squad. “We were pretty dominant back then, and everyone has carried through and stuck with it, which has been really good.” Now, three ❝Kudos to those years later, that improvement has kids for how been rewarded – six hard they’ve members of the senior boys team, which will worked and how far they’ve begin the high-school season in the spring, come. It’s a pretty has been invited to try nice honour out for the Canada’s to be asked to U17 national team. training camp at represent your A Shawnigan Lake is country.❞ scheduled for Nov. 4-7. Adam Roberts In addition to EMS rugby coach Wilms, other Mariners invited to the camp are Doug Fairbank, Liam Bealieau, Lyndon Duncan, Ian McMaster and James McKenzie. The six Mariners were selected after strong performances at nationals last summer in Calgary, where they all suited up for one of two Team B.C. U17 teams; B.C’s ‘A’ team finished second, and the ‘B’ squad won bronze. From next month’s tryout, one national team will be selected to play in a tournament in San Diego at Christmastime, while a second team will be picked for a Canadian tour. A third squad - taking the top players from both teams – will be put together in early 2011, for a trip to Wellington, England, where they’ll play in a rugby festival. “From the (provincial) tryouts to Team B.C. to this, it’s been an awful lot of work to get to this point, but it should be pretty cool. Everyone’s been playing really well since the summer,” Wilms said. Having six players from the same school be recognized by national-level coaches

The tryout camp is slated for next month in Shawnigan Lake. is quite a feat, and one teacher and senior boys rugby coach Adam Roberts is proud of. “It just shows how much our program here has grown the last few years. It’s pretty cool, pretty neat,” he said. “There’s a lot of kids from White Rock – not just our school – that all seem to be pretty fantastic athletes, but it’s just a matter of them finding their niche, the sport that they love. “And kudos to those kids for how hard
they’ve worked and how far they’ve come. It’s a pretty nice honour to be asked to represent your country.” Roberts said he’s not shocked that his six players have been recognized by Team Canada, especially considering how well they played at nationals in the summer. “They’re all very dedicated to their sport, and played a lot of rep-level rugby in the summer, so I’m not that surprised, to be honest,” he said. “They’re all very talented guys.”
According to Wilms, none of the six players have represented Canada before in younger age divisions, which could make for a nervous group of Mariners when they head to Vancouver Island for camp next month. “We’re all a little nervous, I think. I mean, This is the highest that any of us have gone, so playing at that level for the first time, it’s a bit nerve-wracking,” he said. “I’m excited though, but I’ve got the butterflies, too.”

Rams lose first-round playoff tilt to Raiders The Big Kahuna Rams’ season ended Saturday in Nanaimo, after a 46-10 first-round playoff loss to the defending national champion Vancouver Island Raiders. The Rams, heavy underdogs heading into the game, were able to contain the Raiders’ all-star quarterback Jordan Yantz, holding the pivot to just 144 yards passing and one touchdown, but running back Jordan Botel led the home team’s offensive charge, with 125 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The Rams, meanwhile, continued to struggled offensively, with just 113 net yards.
Quarterback Nathaniel White completed just three-of-23 passes, for 61 yards and was picked off twice. Joseph Kuma-Mintah scored the Rams’ only touchdown, on a short run, and kicker Nick Boyd rounded out the Peninsula squad’s scoring with one field goal, a 41-yarder. With the win, the Raiders – who finished 9-1 in the regular season and beat the Rams twice – advance to B.C. Football Conference finals against the Okanagan Sun. The Sun, the league’s top playoff seed, defeated the Victoria Rebels last weekend, 30-20. - Nick Greenizan
Davidson finishes Ironman Peninsula triathlete Jackie Davidson successfully completed the grueling Ironman World Championship course Saturday, finishing the race – held in Kona, Hawaii – in 12 hours, 15 minutes and 29 seconds. Her time was enough to place Davidson 40th – out of more than 60 competitors – in her women’s 45-49 year-old division. Davidson completed the 3.8-km swim in 1:34:32; the 180-km bike ride in 6:38:14, and ran the 42.2-km marathon in 3:54:36. She qualified for world championships after an impressive performance at Ironman Canada in Penticton back in August. The overall world title was won by Chris McCormack, who completed the event in 8:10:37.

The Surrey Eagles will show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month later this month, when they’ll hit the ice wearing pink and white home sweaters – isntead of the usual blue and green. The promotion, dubbed Pink in the Rink, will take place Friday, Oct. 22, when the Eagles host the Coquitlam Express. After the game, the Eagles’ game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off, with proceeds going to support the Nite of Hope, the annual Peninsula event in support of breast cancer awareness. “We’re really looking forward to the game,” said Kyle Bryan, the Eagles’ director of sales and marketing. “We just want to do our part, and just try to do
as much as possible to help.” Beginning next week, bids for individual jerseys will be accepted online at the team’s website, www.surreyeagles.ca, and the auction will stay online at the site until the end of the month. There will also be a silent auction and raffle at the game to help raise money for the cause. Last Thursday, the Eagles played a road game against the Langley Chiefs, and the Chiefs donned special edition pink jerseys, and also had bright-pink skate laces. The pink-clad Chiefs – in first place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference – got the upper-hand on the Birds, winning 7-1. The Coquitlam Express are also planning to wear pink jerseys at some point this month, too, Bryan said.

Eagles edge Mills After losing their first two games last week, the Surrey Eagles finally got back into the win column with a home-ice victory Saturday night over the Quesnel Millionaires. The Eagles edged the Mills 3-2, with the winning goal notched by Brad McGowan on a third-period power play. The marker completed the hat trick for the Surrey sniper, who also scored twice in the second period. Jeff Vanderlugt and Richard Vanderhoek – McGowan’s linemates – each had two assists. The win came after a pair of ugly losses – 7-4 to the Coquitlam Express and 7-1 at the hands of the Langley Chiefs Thursday night at the Langley Events Centre. On Friday, the first period was the Eagles’ undoing – Coquitlam scored five
straight goals after Eagles’ blue-line Kyle Madsen opened the scoring at the 6:32 mark. The Eagles scored twice to open the second period – with goals from Erik Cooper and McGowan – but the Express answered back with two themselves before the second intermission. Eagles’ Hayden Trupp bulged the twine in the third period, but Surrey was unable to mount much of a comeback. Garrick Perry and Massimo Lamacchia each had four points for the Express, and rookie Destry Straight had a three-point night. On Thursday, the Eagles fell behind 7-0 by the third period, until McGowan finally broke the Chiefs’ shutout 15:21 into the third.

Barristers & Solicitors “WE’RE GOING TO BUY OUR FIRST PLACE WHERE DO WE START?”
When it’s time to consider the exciting process of buying your first home, things can seem pretty overwhelming. Here are a few things to keep in mind to help you stay sane. • Choose your price range and neighborhood. • Get a good realtor. The right realtor can provide years of experience and help you find the perfect home to suit your needs. • Worry about the HST? Maybe not. If you’re buying a “used” property, HST doesn’t apply anyway. If you’re buying a “new” property for less than $350,000.00, you won’t be paying any more than under the old GST regime. • Choose your lawyer. A good lawyer will review your contract of purchase and sale BEFORE you sign it. Also, your lawyer must be on your bank’s “approved” list, or you’ll have to pay for two lawyers. Brawn Karras & Sanderson has been representing clients in all kinds of real estate transactions for over 30 years. Our firm is qualified to represent all major banks and private lenders. We work closely with realtors, mortgage brokers, and bankers to ensure that your transaction completes smoothly and that you benefit from all available HST and property transfer tax exemptions and rebates. If problems arise, as lawyers, we are able to offer legal advice and protection unavailable by notaries. We are happy to review contracts or answer questions – feel free to call one of our lawyers.

Call RICK SINGH at 604-535-3367 or email: rick@crsfinancial.ca A recent cbc report pointed out that: “Canadians looking to wrap up new home purchases might find that life insurance is a more flexible and less pricey alternative to mortgage insurance obtained through a bank, While most agree it makes sense to cover large debts with insurance, some argue when it comes to mortgages, most consumers treat it as an afterthought and don’t realize that
Personal Life Insurance is less expensive and more flexible than mortgage insurance! buying through a bank can be a costly mistake. With mortgage insurance obtained from a bank, coverage decreases with every mortgage payment but the premiums show no corresponding decline. That means the costs [per $1,000 of coverage] actually goes up as they bring down their mortgage debt. Personal life insurance coverage remains fixed throughout the term. While mortgage insurance pays off the loan’s outstanding balance, only the bank gets paid. In contrast, life insurance will relieve that debt, while often leaving something over for loved ones. Life insurance is also “portable,” you don’t need to

requalify for coverage during the term if you buy a new home and switch mortgage providers. By contrast, those who purchase mortgage insurance through a bank would likely need to requalify with the new financial institution. Going apples for apples, life insurance owned personally is less expensive, and has more flexibility for the consumer. That’s why people really need to go to a professional to see how the insurance fits into their overall plan.”

2 Day Fall Liquidation Sale
33 Matthews, Anne Amelia February 14, 1916 September 26, 2010
After a brief illness, Anne passed away peacefully at the age of 94 at Westminster House care facility. Born in Vancouver, Anne led a rich and varied life, with many hardships and a lot of happiness especially during the last 23 years that she was married to Richard, who pre-deceased her in 2004. Anne even wrote a book about her life titled appropriately “Sunshine and Storms”. Among Anne’s greatest past pleasures were golf, going to bingo with her special friends Donna & Darryl Catton, bargain hunting at secondhand stores and most of all being able to help others less fortunate than herself. Anne is survived by her children Ed Nunley, Carol (Alfred) Peters, Wendy (Colin) Sutherland and many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews. Special thanks go to Harmony Health Care Staff, especially Erica and Linda, and her dear friends Bernie Blessman and Ed Polinsky for helping her to achieve her wishes, of being able to remain in her home as long as possible. No service at her request. Cremation and ashes to be interred with her beloved Richard.

generation. Trunk space is also generous, about the best in the segment. Certainly it was no problem for us getting a couple of folding chairs along with a suitcase, cooler and other odds and ends for our jaunt south of the border. And still plenty of space for a weekend’s worth of shopping at outlet malls and the like…. The quality of Hyundai products has improved greatly over the years as successive J.D. Power surveys of initial quality have shown. Hyundai finished in seventh place overall in 2010 as a brand and ahead of the industry average in the surveys. That, combined with the outstanding five-year, 100,000 km comprehensive/ powertrain warranty should alleviate the fears of buyers who remember the problems of the Hyundai Pony when it first went on sale here in 1984. As far as re-sale is concerned, the 2011 Sonata is expected to have a residual of 53 per cent of its list value at the end of a three-year lease, compared with the segment-leading Honda Accord (55 per cent) and ahead of the Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion (both 49 per cent). Now that it has the styling to go along with what was already a great package, the 2011 Sonata is poised to be at or near the top of the ladder in the mid-size class.

Hyundai now has the styling to go with the overall value package in the 2011 Sonata mid-size sedan.

One look at the 2011 Sonata and it’s easy to see why Hyundai has been on such a roll of late. The Sonata is sleek, sexy and as is the norm with Korean offerings, provides value for the dollar. Seeing the strides Hyundai has made in the past few years, one shouldn’t be too surprised that the Sonata may be one of the best bargains on the market, starting at just $22,649 for a mid-size sedan that has the interior of a full-size sedan. My wife and I recently drove several hundred kilometers to Detroit and back for the Woodward Dream Cruise in a Limited model with navigation system that priced out at $30,999. After the trip, I came away thinking that there isn’t much else on the market that comes even close to offering what the Sonata does for that price. If you don’t want all the bells and whistles that the Limited trim offers, even the base GL is well equipped compared to almost any entry-level car. It’s just the latest example of the great new vehicles Hyundai has been pumping out; helping the firm set sales records month after month in this country. Last year for example, Hyundai sold 103,233 vehicles here, making it one of only six car companies to surpass 100,000 units in sales. And things can only get better as several new and re-designed models are in the pipeline over the next couple of years. Among them is a new luxury sedan, the Equus, along with new versions of the Elantra and Accent followed by the next generation Santa Fe. With the new Sonata design for 2011, Hyundai is betting that many new customers will jump into the brand because of the striking looks. The previous generation Sonata, around from 2006 to 2010 was a good car, great on value and packed with standard features but it didn’t have the pizzazz to stand out from the crowd. And stand out is something any contender in the mid-size pack will have to do. With competitors like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Mazda6, Chevrolet Malibu and Ford Fusion to name just a few, the market segment is a crowded one indeed. The swoopy, arching roofline gives the Sonata a coupe-like look, similar to the Volkswagen Passat CC and Mercedes-Benz CLS. It also has dominant character lines that carry through from front to back. Extensive use of chrome also helps to add a touch of class to the exterior, the result of a design philosophy that Hyundai calls Fluidic Sculpture to create “the impression of constant, graceful motion.” Inside, the interior treatment is also well done with a nice mixture of colour and materials— not the monotone look often found in mid-size sedans. Hyundai has gone out on a limb by offering only one engine
at launch, a 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder with direct fuel injection, making 198 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque. No six-cylinder is planned, although 2.0-litre turbo is in the offing, expected to be at dealers in early October. Where Hyundai has always excelled is offering standard features on lower-priced cars that would be options elsewhere. Case in point, the base GL model Sonata offers items like heated front seats (in automatic only), active front headrests, heated power adjustable side mirrors, remote keyless entry, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise control and Bluetooth hands free phone system as standard features. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and only available on the GL, while a six-speed automatic is available on the GL ($24,249) and standard on all other trim levels. Mated with the 2.4-litre engine, fuel-efficiency is class-leading at 8.7/5.7L/100 km city/highway for the manual and 9.4/5.7L/100 km city/highway for the automatic. This is achieved in part by a great power-to-weight ratio as the Sonata tops the scales at a fairly lean 1,454 kg. On the safety front, the Sonata is packed with the latest in technology and has been designated a 2010 Top Safety Pick in the U.S. by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Six airbags are standard along with electronic stability control with traction control and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution with brake assist even at the base level. Ditto for an accordion-style accelerator pedal to keep objects from getting lodged beneath it and Bluetooth with steering wheel mounted controls. So, the Sonata looks nice and is well appointed, but how does it drive? Well, quite nicely thank you. The four-cylinder engine is a bit noisy on start up but settles down at speed and has lots of power to spare when needed to merge into high-speed traffic and the like. At cruising speeds, a little tire noise is about all that makes its way into the remarkably quite cabin. We put on more than nearly 2,000 km during our week with the car, including a couple of long trips in excess of three hours. During that time we found the leather seats on the Limited model to be comfortable and well bolstered, no aches and pains after a long drive that you sometimes experience. Due to the couple-like roofline, rear seat headroom could be a problem for tall passengers, but legroom certainly isn’t an issue for all but the tallest of people and four adults can certainly ride in comfort as we tested out on a couple of occasions. Five will fit in a pinch, but the middle seat in back is a little uncomfortable. The Limited, which has 17-inch alloy wheels versus 16s on the other trim levels, hugs the road well. Suspension is independent all-round with MacPherson struts with stabilizer bar up front and a multi-link setup with stabilizer bar at the rear. The result is a comfortable, but not cushy ride that is on par with, or betters, much of the competition in the mid-size class. The car is easy to maneuver, even in tight parking lots, and if you push it hard there is only minor body roll, thanks in part to a new platform that is 25 per cent stiffer than the previous
