Watts leaves ‘huge shoes to fill’ in Surrey Colleagues say mayor’s charisma and vision will be missed at city hall
WHO WANTS THE MAYOR’S CHAIR?
READ OUR FULL STORY WITH LAYAR

A
fter nine years as Surrey’s mayor, Dianne Watts has bowed out of the mayoral race in the upcoming election. Watts announced Saturday during the grand opening of the new city hall that she would not be seeking re-election in the upcoming municipal election in November and said she didn’t know what was next for her. “I’ll probably take a little bit of time off and look at all the options. Who knows what’s around the corner. I think it’s time to reflect a little bit and give some thought to what the next chapter of my life will be,” she said. See also POLL › page 4
In 2008, while running for re-election, Watts called for a nine-year term limit for city council members. She said she would not serve more than three terms – nine years – as mayor. “All elected officials have a shelf-life, me included,” she said in 2008, “so it puzzles me that so many in elected office have trouble accepting the reality that at some point it is best for our democracy and for our communities that all of us move on.” And with nine years as Surrey’s mayor under her belt come November, Watts has held to her word.
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts leads city council during the grand opening of the new city hall on Saturday, where Watts announced she would not be seeking re-election. As for the job the next mayor has to do, Watts said “the foundation is laid.”
‘TURNING OF A PAGE’
Fellow Surrey First councillor Linda Hepner said Watts’ departure will be “the turning of a page.” Hepner said Watts’ legacy will be “how she transformed a city in a decade.” As well, Hepner said she’ll be remembered for developing strong policy, referring to works such as the city’s sustainability charter. Hepner believes Watts will also be known as “the people’s mayor.” “I think she had the ability to attract little faces and youth, and adults and seniors, all at the same time. I think she’ll be known for that kind of charisma.” Hepner praised Watts for being able to move a vision forward with a team of differing political viewpoints. “So she had someone on her team like a Judy Villeneuve and then she had someone on her team like Marvin Hunt – generally on both ends of the political spectrum – and yet she was able to bring a collaboration of those dispirate views to work toward a vision.” Hepner said whoever takes the mayor’s

chair will have “huge shoes to fill.” “And I don’t think anyone should try to fill them. I think whatever path someone takes, it’s got to be their own.” Coun. Barinder Rasode believes Watts will be remembered for “starting the vision and implementing the vision of a downtown core in the City of Surrey. And she’ll definitely be known for the Build Surrey program,” which outlines capital projects to be built over six years, including new recreation opportunities, improved police and fire coverage, enhanced residential and commercial development, expanded library and arts services and the creation of a downtown core. Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, said Watts’ time in office has been “exceptional.” “In year one of her time in office as mayor, we were still suffering from a lack of people knowing about Surrey’s brand – what we had in the city and it’s potential,” Huberman said. “She’s been able to elevate the brand of Surrey to a point where people speak positively about the business community, the development and the city as a whole.”
With Watts out, speculation about who will run is swirling. Some have already shown interest in the mayor’s chair. Surrey First councillors Hepner, Bruce Hayne and Tom Gill have all expressed interest in the seat, though none have come out publicly confirming their intentions. On Sunday, Hepner wouldn’t say whether she would be running for mayor. She said the Surrey First team will be in discussions over the next few weeks about strategy and candidates, including who will lead the charge, but added the group is “fairly close to a decision.” Of whether he would run for mayor, Hayne only said, “Certainly if the team asked me to, I would consider it,” adding the team not only has to pick a mayoral candidate, but three additional council running mates. Gill said there’s “no question” that he’s been interested in running for mayor over the last number of months. But he is having some reservations, including the time commitment, his young family and his desire to still continue in his professional career as an accountant. And independent Coun. Barinder Rasode has said she would “strongly consider” running for mayor if Watts didn’t. Last week, Rasode left Surrey First to sit as an independent on council. She claimed the more questions she asked of council, the more “hostile” the relationship had become. After Watts’ announcement on Saturday, Rasode wouldn’t confirm whether or not she would be running for mayor. And there’s been speculation that McCallum may be jumping back into Surrey’s political arena after he came out with strong words about the dollars spent on the glitzy new city hall and criticisms of the Surrey City Development Corporation. So far, the only mayoral candidate to confirm plans to run this fall is Vikram Bajwa, who ran for mayor in the 2011 election, garnering 4,481 votes – six per cent of the total count.

SURREY — Mayor Dianne Watts announced her retirement from Surrey’s political scene on Saturday and a new poll shows many residents are ready for change at city hall. In an Insights West poll, released Monday, two thirds of residents (68 per cent) say they are ready for either a significant or small change in their legislators. Only 20 per cent would like to see no change at all. The race for the mayor’s chair appears to be wide open, says an Insights West press release, adding that four current councillors hold similar levels of acquaintance with the population. “Councillor Barinder Rasode enjoys the strongest level of high familiarity over Linda Hepner, Tom Gill and Bruce Hayne,” the press release states. The online survey was conducted in late March before Watts announced she would not seek a fourth term, and showed that 49 per cent of residents regard crime as the city’s most important issue, followed by transportation at 22 per cent, health care at seven per cent and education at six per cent. In the survey, the city received high marks
for its handling of parks, recreation and arts (66 per cent), governing the city (56 per cent), development within the city (56 per cent), economic development (55 per cent) and improving Surrey’s image (52 per cent). But residents offered mixed reviews on city services (47 per cent), the way the government has handled the city’s finances (45 per cent) and their efforts to keep property taxes low and control spending (37 per cent). Three issues received a “very low” rating, which Insights West believes will emerge as key themes in the upcoming election. Only one-in-four Surrey residents think their government has handled transportation well. Only 18 per cent were satisfied with the way it has handled homelessness, and only 16 per cent were pleased with the way city hall has dealt with crime and public safety. Results for the poll are based on an online study conducted from March 21 to 23, 2014 among 507 Surrey residents. Insights West says the poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Surrey teen brutally stabbed while ‘running for his life’ Tom Zytaruk
I love Surrey but it’s like crazy, this whole orgy of violence.
Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk
NEWTON — Police have a suspect in mind in the brutal stabbing of Kody Butchko, 18, in Newton early Saturday morning. The apprentice plummer had been at a house party in the 6100-block of 133rd Street when he was attacked. His uncle, Don Pitcairn, said Butchko had been trying to break up a fight and for that, was stabbed nine times. He was stabbed twice in the chest, then another seven times in the back as he ran for his life.
Pitcairn said his nephew’s attackers – four white men, in their early 20s – chased him into a yard, beat him and robbed him of his wallet and cell phone. “He was basically running for his life.” Butchko managed to get away and collapsed in a ditch a couple blocks away, where a passerby found him and called 911. “I love Surrey but it’s like crazy, this whole orgy
of violence,” said Pitcairn. “When’s it going to end?” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Monday at press time that the police investigation is “moving

SURREY — From eyeballs on trees to a chessboard carved in a tree stump, “The Grove” adjacent to the Newton bus loop has gotten a little more interesting lately. A handful of locals are behind the quirky activity in the forested area and the intent is to engage passersby and reclaim the public space, said David Dalley, a community advocate. “It’s about taking a space that may be neglected or may be undervalued for its physical beauty or maybe it’s just avoided because it’s a place where dangerous things happen and sort of reclaiming that as public space in a creative and positive way,” Dalley said. The forested “grove” is located just steps away from the location of the brutal attack that took the life of Julie Paskall. “To me, when there’s an incident like that, of violence in the community, we each own a piece of that,” he said. On the flip side, small positive actions can add up to something big. “They may just be little actions, but collectively they amount to something very significant and very powerful.” Dalley said the initiative was inspired when Jason Roberts came to town in April, sharing his Better Block Project, which uses grassroots involvement to initiate change and build stronger communities. A group of like-minded locals decided to take their
inspiration to The Grove. “It’s a little bit edgy,” Dalley said of the initiative. “Placemaking is about respecting rules and not damaging property, but doing things that’s a little bit edgy.” But it hasn’t just been eyeballs on trees. The group has also hung up posters, encouraging passersby to stop and connect with one another. “Place your hand here,” one poster states above a handprint. “Have stranger place hand here,” it reads above another handprint. “Remove hands when no longer strangers,” it encourages below. “It’s just a way to be playful in a physical space,” Dalley said. The group typically meets Saturday mornings to spruce up the space; on Saturday, May 3, starting at 10 a.m., they are inviting the public to join them as they transform the grove. But don’t just drop by to observe, Dalley urges those who come out to bring instruments, art, food – and a sense of adventure. There will be some musicians, an artist creating a chalk mural, mini golf, hammocks strewn up through the forest, children’s activities and more. Dalley invites people to bring poetry and art that can be worked into the whimsical event. “We don’t have any expectations of what it will be other than it’s an experiment.” For more details, visit “Friends of the Grove— Surrey, BC” on Facebook or email davidanderin@ dalley.ca.

SURREY — The City of Surrey has endorsed a plan to hire 95 RCMP officers over the next five years. The 95 includes 60 already on the books in Surrey’s budget for the next five years. Council endorsed the proposal during a police committee meeting last Wednesday. Mayor Dianne Watts said the “pledge” arose out of recommendations from the task force she launched last October to “disrupt criminal activity” in Surrey.

“The additional officers have been realized through efficiencies within the RCMP as a result of the review process,” Dianne Watts Watts said. Moreover, the Community Safety Officer program will change to create a new Community Constable program that will give the officers the power to arrest, and carry guns. Effective immediately, 10 community safety patrol staff will be

deployed in Newton’s town centre, with uniformed foot patrols staffed by BC Commissionaires. Another 10 will be considered for 2015. The city will also begin reporting its crime statistics on a monthly rather than a quarterly basis. During the first 90 days of Watts’ task force, there have been 250 arrests with 86 charges recommended, and $100,668 in Canadian currency seized from crime suspects. The uniformed gang enforcement unit alone made 38 arrests with 11 charges recommended, seized seven weapons, did 159 street checks and 182 vehicle stops.

New book sheds sobering light on politics InTheHouse Keith Baldrey
FOLLOW KEITH ON TWITTER
H
as our political system broken down to the point where it threatens democracy itself? That grim scenario is raised in a new book that suggests the political system, at the federal level at least, has deteriorated into a cynical, out-of-touch process where a tiny group of individuals exert control at every turn and leave everyone else feeling disillusioned and almost irrelevant. Titled Tragedy in the Commons: Former Members of Parliament Speak Out About Canada’s Failing Democracy, the book paints a sobering picture of a federal political arena that has increasingly, largely because of the actions of those in it, strained its credibility with the very people it is supposed to serve. While some of the authors’ conclusions (and
solutions for fixing the problem) can certainly be challenged, the book does raise some relevant issues for our country’s other political systems, notably at the provincial level. The book’s authors, Alison Loat and Michael MacMillan, conducted more than 80 interviews with former Members of Parliament to gauge what they had learned from their years spent serving in the House of Commons. It is somewhat dispiriting to discover that many of them left federal politics feeling disillusioned and even embarrassed by their experiences. Many of them cite various reasons for these feelings: the power wielded over them by political leaders, “back office forces” and the political parties themselves, a lack of resources to do their job, and the insistence they follow the party “line”, no matter what. Now, I’ve often found that some rookie politicians who excitedly enter government (or Opposition) can quickly feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment when they discover their political careers don’t turn out to be quite as they had imagined going in. A big part of the problem is the harsh traditions and realities of our parliamentary system
itself. There is little equality in it, for example, as the government side holds so much more power than the Opposition parties. As well, there are huge power gaps between backbenchers and cabinet ministers. There is also a childish and phony nature to the system. Our MPs (and MLAs) are subject to silly forms of discipline (go sit in the back!) for daring to question the party line, and question period is often simply political theatre where politicians are more actors (some worse than others) playing to the cameras than anything else. Finally, real naked political power resides in the leader’s office. Always has, and (unless the system undergoes profound change) it always will (at least, in a majority government). How much power often depends on the
leader in the office. There is widespread evidence of the strict controlling nature of Prime Minister Stephen Harper when it comes to not only wielding power in government, but over the political system itself (witness the ongoing controversy over big changes to federal voting laws). But while Harper may have taken the leader’s office penchant for control to new heights (or lows, depending on your point of view), he’s hardly the first prime minister to consolidate power in his office. Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien were hardly known for their magnanimous views towards the Opposition or even their own caucus (Trudeau once infamously labelled MPs as “nobodies”). However, the book’s authors make the
compelling case that what we are witnessing is the steady slide of public confidence in political institutions and the people who run them precisely because things like consolidating power in the hands of so few rarely ends well. In B.C ., our premiers have exerted control over government to varying degrees. The legendary W.A.C. Bennett, for example, ran his caucus with an iron fist and micro-managed to the point of personally approving all long-distance phone calls (even in the civil service). More recently, Gordon Campbell had his hands in all parts of government and consolidated power in his office to a great degree. His successor, Christy Clark, has been much more willing to delegate authority to her ministers and shows little
evidence these days of being interested in all the small details (or even actually visiting the so-called Corner Office in the capital). While many of the assertions of the ex-MPs interviewed for his book may be dismissed as sour grapes, there’s no question that collectively they all point to an alarming erosion in the health of the country’s most important democratic institution. The steady decline in voter turnout is further evidence of that. While at times ambitiously idealistic and even naive in its analysis, Loat and MacMillan’s book shows much change is needed, and not just in Ottawa. It’s clear they’re onto something.

Surrey needs strong individuals, not slates The Editor, Re: “Rasode’s positioned herself well,” the Now, April 24. I was concerned right from the start about what might happen with a slate that has no opposition on city council – it becomes more like a dictatorship. This applies to all levels of government, where the top gun rules the roost and the rest just say, ‘OK’ Barinder Rasode – even if it seems the people in power are going against their own constituents’ will. Because of that, and many other reasons, I don’t like slates. We need individuals who get elected under their own power and credentials for the job. We need people who can then vote with their conscience rather than the party line. It’s going to be a tough road for Barinder Rasode but I hope she sticks to her guns and principles. Good luck to her. Brian Lauder, Surrey
Vaisakhi volunteers kept trash to minimum The Editor, Re: “Vaisakhi a ‘great, joyful day’,” the Now, April 22. I would like to commend the organizers of the Vaisakhi parade for continually upgrading the changes for the parade route. My brother and I go every year and in the first years we went, the garbage was out of control. I would like to commend the volunteers (young and old) who continually picked up garbage. Despite the rain, we both enjoyed our day. We look forward to going again next year. Louise and Ed Hewitt, Surrey
If teachers get more in Alberta, move there The Editor, As a parent of a school-aged child in our public school system, it never ceases to amaze me how often the BCTF needs to justify its existence by pushing teachers to strike at every turn. The mind-numbing phrase such as “for the kids” is almost more than any normal thinking taxpayer can take. If I had a decent salary, over three months off a year with my benefits paid for and paid contributions to my pension, I’d be grateful to have that position. I have met a great number of dedicated teachers who truly care about what they do but I’m sure they went into the teaching profession with their eyes wide open. If they’re going on strike because other teachers in other provinces make more money, the solution is a simple one – move to that province. That’s what parents who are in other jobs do all the time to provide for their families. When I read that in the Coquitlam School District, 91 per cent is spent on salary and related benefit costs, it didn’t take long for me to realize why my child doesn’t have the basics in the classroom. It’s time for our elected leaders to stand up and start fighting for the parent/taxpayer. As I tell my child, bullying doesn’t always happen in the school yard. Gerald Gregory, Surrey
New restaurant is insult to community The Editor, Re: “Eyesore restaurant is unwelcome addition,” the Now letters, April 22. The new restaurant (My Shanti) on Croydon and 24th in South Surrey is absolutely an insult to the people in the surrounding complex. Not only is it garish, but could possibly be a hazard at the
intersection if the sun is directly on it. With Surrey clamping down on revised signage, this building certainly does not strengthen the visual presence of a once classy area. We cannot believe Surrey planners and architects would have allowed this monstrosity to be built. Judith and Gordon Wilson, Surrey
Why complain about fun, modern eatery? The Editor, Re: “Eyesore restaurant is unwelcome addition,” the Now letters, April 22. I have to disagree with this letter writer. I love the look of My Shanti. Surrey has been in dire need of something modern and fun. Every time I drive by My Shanti and see those shimmering silver tiles it makes me smile. My husband and I are both thrilled that Vikram Vij decided to open up a restaurant here in Surrey, as we no longer have to commute to Vancouver for the great food and dining experience. We have been waiting for it to open and we are glad to hear it finally is. We will be there as soon as we can get a sitter. Elizabeth Ritchie, Ocean Park
New Pattullo should be at least six lanes The Editor, Re: “Chestbeating over bridge rings hollow,” the Now, April 17. Sadly, we are dealing with the two most retrograde cities in recent memory when it comes to traffic. First of all, years of Vancouver city councils who believe that if they can create even more bottlenecks and congestion, the traffic will somehow disappear. Think about it. Vancouver has no through roads
Introducing
except for Highway 1, which cuts across the northeast corner. Every other road ends in a dead end or a side street except perhaps, Kingsway, which connects to Georgia Street by a viaduct which they are itching to tear down. Close behind are the Neanderthalthinking councils of New Westminster, which have done their best to inconvenience those heathen commuters who dare to trespass into the Royal City. Highway 99 used to follow Kingsway and 12th Street to Columbia and the Pattullo, but years ago, traffic was diverted along 10th Avenue to McBride as a grudging concession. Connections for traffic between Highway 1 and Marine became a cruel joke. Today, with their insistence of a tolled, four-lane replacement, New Westminster is again guaranteeing years of bottlenecks and congestion. Well, let’s get real. Since this is part of our highways system (are you listening, Todd Stone?), it should be the B.C. provincial highways department that builds a new bridge and connecting roadways. At a minimum, it should be a six-lane bridge, and if we think for the future (a novel idea), an eight-lane one. Build it between the Tannery Road – 8th Street alignments. Build a proper access road system along the Brunette, Columbia, Front and Stewardson route, elevated if necessary. Build connector roads along 12th Street and 8th Street to access Kingsway and Canada Way. From Surrey, it would be a short diversion from the King George along Scott to Tannery and the Highway 17 interchange or, perhaps a Fraser Highway, Old Yale, 104th Avenue connection. When this is completed, give the Pattullo to New Westminster to do with as they like. They can fix it, maintain it, plant flowers on it or tear it down – we don’t care! Gordon E.

South Surrey’s Alison MacLean
Combat filmmaker goes ‘outside the wire’ South Surrey resident Alison MacLean is hoping her new documentary, Burkas 2 Bullets, will educate audiences about the after-effects of war in Afghanistan. (Photo: SAMANTHA LEGO)

S
OUTH SURREY — In the warzone, the only thing Alison MacLean shoots is her camera. But in her hands, it is just as powerful as the weapons of the soldiers she’s working alongside. Back in July 2010, the independent documentary filmmaker spent three weeks embedded with Canadian troops through Operation Athena in the Kandahar Province. From her footage, she created the documentary, Outside the Wire. “Outside the wire” is a military term used to describe when those in a war zone go past the perimeters set up around operations and camps. They do so at great personal risk. Blatant and with no-frills, the 55-year-old South Surrey resident brought in an unbiased angle, highlighting women in the Canadian and coalition troops working in Afghanistan. “These people are the frontline soldiers of change on all levels and I know that women embrace that, and they embrace this new job and they go forward with it,” MacLean said. Over the last five years, MacLean has made a point of featuring the stories of women in combat because she feels that they have been underrepresented. Not everyone working in Afghanistan is a frontline worker. MacLean mentions a “legacy of care” that female doctors, nurses, logistics workers and consultants bring to ensure the operation is free of mistakes. “Everyone on base has a job to do, and there really isn’t one job that’s more important than the other,” she said. Reception of Outside the Wire has been a positive one, from military personnel as well as the general audience, after it aired on the W Network in November 2010. “I’m really happy viewers gravitated towards the people,” she said. “I wanted them to see and hear the many different voices and arrive at their own conclusions.” As a filmmaker, MacLean says her goal is to bring stories forward without manipulating them, “highlighting people,
doing what they do.” MacLean’s focus with Outside the Wire centered on her wanting it to feel like she was taking you on her “learning curve journey through the war zone.” She aimed to document the real image of what was occurring in the moment. “I want people to kind of see from what they call ‘wheels up’ – what it’s like right from when we get the call for the emergency, getting into the Blackhawk, getting into the air, getting to the soldiers or whomever needed help,” she said. Working as an independent filmmaker gave her more of an opportunity to do this. Although going on her own was a risk, it was also an advantage, as she was able to travel more with the troops than larger media corporations would have. “The benefit of being on my own is that there’s usually always one extra seat on any troop flight going out,” she said. Yet being able to move around more meant MacLean was often put into situations of increased danger. She has been in some tense situations where her only advice is to be resilient, and not panic.
MacLean is no stranger to this kind of action. While working as a camera person for TSN, she was in conversation with CNN about going to Iraq for combat camera work. Two weeks later, a drunk driver collided with her vehicle head-on, causing severe head, neck and spine injuries. Rehabilitation took five years for her to be able to feel and function like she did before. “Sometimes life can really throw a lot of curveballs and you have to decide how resilient you’ll have to be,” MacLean said. Working in combat zones wasn’t in MacLean’s mind until leading up to her 50th birthday, when she joked with some of her male colleagues that all she wanted was a titanium knee and some body armour. Shortly after, she was given the chance to embed and film the stories of women in combat and those working on the frontlines. Outside the Wire was the beginning of getting into the war zone film market for MacLean, who isn’t new to featuring the role of women in combat situations. In 2002, she released The Power and the Grace, which featured women of the Second World War.
MacLean’s latest documentary is Burkas 2 Bullets, which has a tentative fall release date. She’s hoping the new documentary will educate audiences about the after-effects of war in Afghanistan. The film is centred on women being trained to serve in the National Security Forces in Afghanistan. This initiative came from the mentor programs NATO operates, and in which the RCMP takes part. Many Afghan women involved with the forces, especially in rural areas, are not respected or given proper uniforms or equipment. MacLean said they face a lot of adversity. She went back to Afghanistan in September 2012 to film, and the inequality between the police force resonated with her. With all her films, she said that even though she’s there to document, she would never hesitate to put her camera aside and put people first. Back in Canada, she used some of her own profits and partnered with several Rotary Clubs. They raised $6,500 to pay for uniforms for 100 policewomen in the city of Mazar-e Sharif. Both Afghan groups and military entities have invited her back to Afghanistan, but MacLean doesn’t see that happening in the near future. Instead, she wants to focus on her future project of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and suicide among veterans, which she plans to start shooting in the fall. “War is hell. War is not pleasant, so you have to be psychologically prepared to discipline yourself to the ugliness of it,” MacLean said. The filmmaker has also done documentary stints in Russia and Romania. Her company Tomboy Productions can be found at www.tomboyproductions.tv.

I cannot tell you how we have looked forward to this again for 2014. Having the opportunity to go into the schools and speak in front of grade 4 and 5 students is definitely a highlight for us. We love the student’s enthusiasm, intelligent questions and excitement about newspapers that always inspires and reconfirms that we are in a vibrant and relevant industry. At the Now we spend time as a team going over the artwork and are constantly amazed at the skill and creativity that these students possess. Bringing the student’s artwork to our advertising clients is a pleasure and they are always delighted with the results. So much so that many businesses look for new and interesting ways to increase their engagement with students. Design an Ad has been an outstanding catalyst for bringing students together with business. It is surely a win-win for everyone! A big thank you to everyone that participated in Design An Ad.

Aerospace co. funding aims to help workforce Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
A North Delta aerospace firm has received a stellar investment. On Wednesday, the federal government has injected $4.4 million into a new research and development (R&D) program at Delta-based aerospace company, Avcorp. The company, said Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, is on a “world-class level,” and the repayable contribution will help make room for aspiring aerospace engineers by placing them in apprenticeships and permanent jobs in the industry. The contribution comes through the federal government’s Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative (SADI), and all parties involved have high hopes of a skyrocketing economy. Avcorp renewed an $80 million, five-year contract with Boeing in 2012. “Apprenticeship programs and internship programs, obviously, are very important to our government because that’s our future workforce who are getting insight into how industry manufacturing
works,” said Findlay, noting extra funding had been put aside for the cause. “This SADI funding, which is meant specifically for the aerospace sector is meant to help … both workers who are here now, workers who may be brought in and it’s an opportunity for those kinds of apprenticeships and internships.” Mark van Rooij, Avcorp’s CEO, says they are looking to institutions like BCIT and SFU for future apprentices and employees. Once the R&D program is completed, van Rooij says, is when the repayment period will begin to kick in — but as of yet, that date is up in the air. “That’s over multiple years, so it’s something that kicks in on the moment that the project is finished, and then it’s a couple of years in the repayment time,” he says. Industry Minister James Moore echoed the sentiments of MP Findlay and Avcorp’s van Rooij, saying “Canada’s aerospace industry directly employs 73,000 people in highskilled jobs and contributes more than $12 billion to the economy.” With the SADI contribution, he hopes to see the industry reach even greater heights.

School’s ‘Cagebirds’ play flies to provincial festival Tom Zillich
Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
North Surrey Secondary’s production of Cagebirds is set to soar at this weekend’s Sears British Columbia Drama Festival. The play will represent the Surrey zone at the provincial drama festival, to be held from Thursday to Sunday (May 1 to 4) at Douglas College in New Westminster. To get there, Cagebirds earned the Outstanding Production title at the Surrey District Drama Festival, held Feb. 21 at Johnston Heights Secondary. The day-long event featured 11 productions from seven secondary schools across Surrey, including six comedies and five tragedies. Craig Wrotniak, president of the Surrey Drama Teachers’ Association and a drama/dance instructor at North Surrey Secondary, said the number and quality of productions was on the increase this year. “The shows all looked and sounded excellent, with quick set changes between productions,” Wrotniak told the Now. “This is not always the case when youth theatre productions are taken from their home venue and staged at a different theatre for festival. Professional theatre technicians Rob Duggan
and Phil Schulze helped support the technical students, who performed their cues on lighting and sound equipment that was new to most of them. Festival adjudicator Allan Lysell, a longtime acting professor at Douglas College, gave the Runner Up title to Fear, a production brought to the stage by Panorama Ridge Secondary. The cast and crew will be invited to come to the provincial festival as nonperforming delegates. North Surrey Secondary’s 45-minute Cagebirds, meanwhile, will be staged Thursday evening at the provincial festival. The play, a tragedy, was written by British playwright David Campton in 1971. “What makes these festival performances even more amazing is that as they were happening at the same time as many of our drama teachers and their students find themselves also working to prepare their spring productions,” Wrotniak noted. On that note, Kwantlen Park Secondary’s production of Bye Bye Birdie runs from May 7 to 10 (call 604-588-6934 for details), and Grease, another North Surrey Secondary show, hits the stage from May 20 to 30 (call 604-581-4433). Elsewhere, Panorama Ridge Secondary recently staged a production of The Wiz at the school, on 64th Avenue.
‘Hooked’ fundraiser for theatre co. Tickets go on sale May 1 for “Hooked on Shakespeare,” a fundraiser for Beach House Theatre Company’s summer productions at Crescent Beach. The fundraiser will take place Friday, June 13 at Hooked Fish Bar, on Beecher Street. Tickets are $50 per person, with a live auction and 50/50 draw in the works. The event will raise funds for the company’s two productions this summer, which are Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and the more kid-friendly The Three Munschketeers, a Debbie Patterson-written adaptation of five stories by Robert Munsch. The shows will be performed on an outdoor stage at Crescent Beach from Aug. 11 to 17. Tickets for the 2014 productions go on sale to the public June 24, via www.beachhousetheatre.org.

Surrey United cruises into Cup semifinals Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
Surrey United’s women’s premier team embarked on their 10th consecutive Provincial Cup defence with a solid 3-1 win over Richmond Sunday morning at Cloverdale Athletic Park. The 10-time B.C. champions carried the play for much of the first half, but needed to suppress a wind-aided Richmond rally in the final 30 minutes of play before emerging with the win. “We had the wind at our back in the first half and we should have taken advantage of it a bit more,” said Surrey coach Albert Stewart. “We had some chances, but we weren’t able to finish. “Credit to Richmond though, they battled hard. They pushed hard in the second half for about 20 minutes and we would have been in trouble if they got a second goal. I wasn’t worried though — our girls have been in adverse conditions before and they know how to handle pressure like that. A score of 2-1 is not as difficult for us to deal with as it might be for some teams.” Surrey opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Eva Caldieri collected a throw-in from Katie Thorlakson before turning and pounding the ball into the Richmond goal. That duo struck again mere minutes after the start of the second half, this time with Caldieri delivering a pinpoint pass onto the feet of a wide-open Thorlakson inside the box. Thorlakson calmly chipped it past the startled Richmond goalkeeper for a 2-0 Surrey advantage. The wind picked up considerably in the second half, a development that played well for Richmond’s long ball tactics. The visitors were rewarded in the 76th minute with a goal off a corner kick following an outstanding diving save by
Surrey goalkeeper Theresa Nuttall. That was as close as Richmond would get as Surrey put the game out of reach seven minutes later. Caldieri lobbed a pass to the edge of the box for Nicole Stewart, who then sidestepped two Richmond defenders and froze the goalkeeper before slotting the ball home to restore Surrey’s two-goal advantage. The win stretched Surrey’s Provincial Cup winning streak to 35 games, a run that Albert Stewart puts pressure on both teams whenever United takes to the pitch. Sunday’s quarterfinal contest with Richmond was also a rematch of the League Cup final won 1-0 by Surrey on a penalty kick goal last month. Albert Stewart admitted Surrey felt some pressure as the narrowness of that win motivated the United women to prove they could beat Richmond straight up. “There is some pressure there, but I think it’s pressure of their own making,” he said. The girls have all been there and done that so they’re used

There were some nerves before the game just because it is a Cup game, but that’s typical. Once the game started though, that was quickly forgotten. “It’s not really pressure
for us because every team we play is up for the game so we’re used to it. If anything, most teams come to us feeling the nerves and they’re the ones feeling pressure.”
Elsewhere, South Surrey’s Coastal FC doubled up on Victoria’s Prospect Lake 2-1 on Vancouver Island to maintain the possibility of an all-Surrey Provincial Cup final.
Surrey United will host Peninsula Co-op in one semifinal next weekend while Coastal FC takes on the winner of the North Shore Renegades and Coquitlam Metro Ford.

United overcomes red card to advance to semifinals Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
Surrey United had to work overtime to advance to the semi-final round of the men’s Provincial Cup soccer playdowns Saturday evening in Langley. Sean Einarsson scored in the second overtime session to lift the two-time B.C. champions to a 2-1 win over Langley United. “It was really a just result,” said Surrey captain Vinnie Stewart. “The better team definitely won on the day, but as usual, it
showed that anything can happen in cup play. It’s just so unpredictable. Every bounce, every card, every missed opportunity can have an impact on the outcome.” United dominated play throughout the opening half, creating numerous scoring chances, most of which came up empty. The Cloverdale lads opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Tom Lowndes delivered a pass into the box for Angus Burke, who promptly hammered a low shot into the net for a 1-0 Surrey lead. Surrey continued to press offensively
and only near misses by Burke and Sean Einarsson kept the scoreline at 1-0 through halftime. The game turned around dramatically 15 minutes into the second frame when Surrey’s Colin Streckmann was sent off with a red card, leaving United playing a man short for the remainder of regulation time. Langley took advantage of the situation and tied the game in the 80th minute on a long, drifting cross that ended up in the Surrey goal, tying the game at 1-1. The score was still knotted at 1-1 in the

second overtime when Surrey’s sent Liam Miller in as a substitute. Within five minutes, he forced a Langley defender to take his second yellow card and a seat on the bench. With both teams now playing at 10-aside, Surrey quickly ended the affair when the Langley goalkeeper fumbled the ensuing cross into the box. The ball squirted onto the foot of Einarsson, who hammered it into the net for the winning goal. Surrey will now take on Coquitlam’s Metro Ford Wolves in next weekend’s semifinal round.

The shows will be performed on an outdoor stage at Crescent Beach from Aug. 11 to 17. Last summer, in its second season, Beach House staged versions of Twelfth Night and Munsch Ado About Nothing at a temporary stage at Blackie Spit. Tickets for the 2014 productions go

taking kids/grandkids to money school parker l’abbee Wealth Management team of rBC Dominion securities As anyone who has visited a toy store with a child or grandchild knows, kids understand the concept of spending money at an early age. What children don’t always learn is how to save and spend wisely.
Here are some of the saving and investing basics your children or grandchildren can enjoy learning. They can practice these skills every day, no matter how young they are.

This coming August, the shows will be Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors and The Three Munschketeers. (File photo) on sale to the public June 24, via www. beachhousetheatre.org.

10th annual ‘Taste of B.C.’s Finest’ on May 24 Semiahmoo House Society’s 10th annual A Taste of B.C.’s Finest fundraiser is set for Saturday, May 24 at the organization’s South Surrey headquarters.
Proceeds from the event benefit the non-profit society’s recreation and leisure program, for people with disabilities. Tickets are $70; call 604-536-1242 for details, or visit www.

Learning to earn Paying your children an allowance is a good way for them to learn the value of money. It also opens the door to a discussion about the essentials of financial planning, such as banking, saving and spending.
PRESENTS
One way you can allocate a child’s allowance is to divide it into three pools – one for spending, another for saving and a third for sharing with charities. This helps children not only understand the value of budgeting and saving, but also helps them develop a sense of social responsibility by giving to charitable causes. Beginning to budget Offer to help your older children establish a workable budget. The budget could factor in money they earn or receive, regular expenses they expect to incur, and the savings they need for specific goals. Budgeting can help them distinguish between short-term savings (a new CD or DVD), medium-term savings (a new bike or game console), and long-term savings (a car or post-secondary education). Investing for growth
by W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
As your children grow older, you can teach them the basics of investing. The first step might be to open a savings account for them. This is your opportunity to discuss how banks pay interest for money on deposit. With straightforward compound-interest calculations, you can show how a regular amount set aside each month can grow. As a next step, try letting your older children invest in a company that produces something they know and like, or a mutual fund that invests in these companies. Showing them where to find information on their holdings in newspapers and on the Internet will make tracking their investment fun, and give them a real sense of ownership.

White Rock
Big 60th birthday party for Scottish country dance club Gord Goble
Now contributor
WHITE ROCK — The oldest Scottish country dance club in B.C. is prepping for its diamond anniversary, and it’s importing hired guns, direct from bonnie olde Scotland, just for the occasion. And that’s but a glimpse of the pomp and pageantry to be on display Saturday night (May 3) as White Rock Scottish Dance Club celebrates its 60th birthday at Star of the Sea Hall in White Rock. Dance headliners The Marian Anderson Band aside, the evening includes a formal reception, an introductory “grand march,” three hours of Scottish country dance followed by a full-blown banquet, and no fewer than 100 serious practitioners of the art from other, younger clubs around the region. It will not, however, feature even a trace of that other noted Scottish dance form, the Highland Fling. You see, the two couldn’t be more different. Whereas the Fling is essentially a short, high-energy solo, country
dance is a more lengthy affair involving couples and groups in a technical exercise that outwardly seems to mix elements of line- and square-dancing. But unlike the latter, Scottish country dancers have no caller – their moves are planned in advance and painstakingly memorized. Club president David Jackson calls it an “aerobic and mental exercise,” rehearsed weekly at Sullivan Hall in Surrey. There, teacher Maureen Lyon pushes her pupils through a series of maneuvers seemingly destined to provoke multiple head-on collisions. That all her students – some over the age of 80, others under 30 – emerge from each session cheering and fracture-free attests not only to Lyon’s 34 years as club dance director, but also to the discipline’s highly social nature. These folks genuinely like one another, and move on the floor like a welloiled machine. This Saturday’s gathering is a closed affair, but the group encourages the public to join the fun. The fall season begins in September, with details at www.wrscdc.org.
