Surrey council opposes port’s coal expansion ‘We’ve done the right thing in saying that’s not an acceptable type of energy’ says Rasode Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris
SURREY — Following an impassioned plea from residents and an 11,000signature petition, Surrey city council has declared its opposition to the proposed coal terminal expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks until full public hearings and an independent third-party health assessment are completed. The resolution came following a delegation by anti-coal citizens group Communities and Coal Monday afternoon, during which they requested council take a more hardened stance on the issue, similar to what other municipalities in the region have been doing. Around 100 residents opposed to the coal project were also in attendance during the delegation, all of which were dressed in black to symbolize the effects of coal dust in the community. Later that evening, council took the steps necessary to make their position on the matter clear.
“We certainly have issues we have to have resolved before we can support something like this at Fraser Surrey Docks, that being the health impacts to our community and what that’s going to be down the road,” said councillor and chair of city’s environmental committee Bruce Hayne. “There are just so many questions and we can’t be supporting this until we get answers in a fulsome way. “The delegation made it very clear how important this issue is to our community, not just one area but a very broad base of our community.” Coun. Barinder Rasode said while this would hopefully add to the pressure for decision-maker Port Metro Vancouver to follow through on the community’s desire, she wasn’t optimistic that coal would ever be something the community would accept. “We will not only support the community but we’ve done the right thing in saying that’s not an acceptable type of energy that we want transported though our community, (especially) when we’ve taken such a strong advocacy role around rail safety, the number of trains going through our community and access to Crescent Beach,” she said. “Topped off with the type of coal this is, I think we will probably be in the same position as see ‘THIS SENDS › page 6

First plaques placed in new program Surrey staff create sponsorship program to install memorial markers on unmarked graves Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — “He’s so happy right now... I can feel him in my heart right now.” Shirley Briscoe, mother of Jason Briscoe, blew her late son a kiss as she waited for his headstone to be set in the dewy grass of Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery on Tuesday morning. Jason was 46 when he passed away from colorectal cancer on May 23, 2013 after a two-year battle. “That’s so beautiful,” Shirley said as she looked at her son’s name and years of birth and death engraved in the granite marker. With tears in her eyes, the 85-year-old mother placed a red rose on his grave. The marker was installed free of charge through a City of Surrey initiative. While the Ministry of Social Development pays for the interment of individuals whose families can’t afford a burial or cremation, it doesn’t cover the installation of a memorial marker. The city has partnered with Stonemarks Engraving, which will provide markers to families receiving help from the ministry in the future. Jason Briscoe was one of three people whose markers were installed on Tuesday. Currently, there are 32 markers being provided through Stonemarks Engraving. The city is also launching a second program to solicit community donations to be able to provide memorial markers for the 350 pre-existing unmarked graves in Surrey’s three civic cemeteries. This program is expected to be in place in early 2014. Shirley said having a marker on her son’s grave provides her with some closure. “It makes me feel wonderful. It touches my heart. Mind you, I have such a hollow heart right now, but time will heal,” she said

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) Tuesday. Shirley couldn’t believe it when she found out her son would receive a headstone, free of charge. “I had goosebumps. I felt so relieved and I was so elated,” Shirley said. Jason’s sister, Anita Briscoe, spoke to a modest crowd at the cemetery Tuesday and said the two were close, even as young children. She spoke of Jason’s career modelling in Paris, Greece and Milan. “My brother was an artist, a true people person and an amazing athlete. In fact, I remember watching him in aerial skiing. It seemed effortless,” Anita said. “He would do a backflip, spreadeagle, land it perfectly, every time.” Anita said her brother’s last and biggest request was that he received a true Catholic
mass and burial. “I promised him that this would be,” Anita said. Her family laid Jason to rest on June 7, but they were not aware the headstone was not included in the burial. Anita later contacted Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery staff and inquired about getting one. “I felt as though my promise I made to my brother Jay was incomplete, seeing that his gravesite was still unmarked. It was at this time that Anna (Terrace) explained the program she was giving wings to, where her ultimate goal was to ensure that no person lay buried without a headstone.” Anna Terrace is Surrey’s cemetery coordinator, who initiated the program to get markers for all of the city’s unmarked graves.
“Thank you Anna. You have given something incredible to me and my family today. My brother’s Catholic mass and burial is now complete,” Anita said. “I can’t really find a way to ever repay you, but how I look at it is perhaps all of my brother’s good deeds are being repaid to him and to his family here today.” Terrace said it’s important that all community members are remembered. “How many times do you walk through a cemetery and take a look at the names and dates and wonder who that person was. We don’t need to know their financial status, it’s proof that they were here and they existed,” Terrace said. Those wishing to donate to the project can call the city’s cemetery office at 604598-5770 or email cemeteryinfo@surrey.ca. areid@thenownewspaper.com

‹ from page 1 Oregon and Washington State in saying that this is not something we want to be a part of our community.” Previously, council had sent a request to Fraser Surrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouver urging for more efforts in the community be made on their part, and Mayor Dianne Watts said those concerns appear to have gone unheeded. “For the purposes of the general public, the issues that we had presented to Port Metro in July had to do with noise, emergency access with Crescent Beach, dust and health impacts, and safety issues and stabilization of the bank,” said Watts. “We want to make sure the general public is aware we’ve been dealing with these issues since July, so this motion is a reconfirmation of the work we’ve been doing.” According to Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who is a resident of one of the areas that would be affected most by an increase in coal train traffic, the resolution was much needed. “I think this motion is one step stronger

Paula Williams, head of Communities and Coal and whose delegation prompted council’s motion, said the onus was now on the port to make good on what’s clearly the will of the communities to be most affected by this project. “It’s overwhelming to know that (council) felt so strongly about this and were so supportive. I think they’ve made a lot of people very, very happy,” she said. “This sends a very strong message to the port and now we’re going to see what happens and how the port responds.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

VANCOUVER ISLAND — White Rock businessman Norm Slavik, who died in a float plane crash near Potts Lagoon off Port McNeill on Thursday, was reluctant to make the trip, and only decided at the last minute to go, said his wife’s uncle on Sunday. “Norm did not want to go on this trip – he was really only going as a favour to his friend,” said Jack Bush of Comox on Sunday. The pilot of an Air Cab Cessna 185 had left Coal Harbour that morning and picked up Slavik, 58, and another man in Port McNeill before heading southeast to West Cracroft Island. The B.C. coroner has identified the other passenger as Frederick Gerald Cecil Wiley, 40, of Merville on Vancouver Island, and the pilot as Kevin Roger Williams, 42, from Lake Country in the Okanagan. The aircraft was preparing to land in a confined area near the logging camp when it slammed into a hillside about 20 metres from the shoreline, said the
S OUTHPOINTE A CADEMY www.southpointeacademy.ca
Transportation Safety Board. Occupants of a shrimp boat saw the crash, called authorities and tried to help the three crash victims, but all died at the scene. Witnesses reported the aircraft appeared to abort its landing and stalled, plummeting into the trees, said Bush, who is a pilot himself. “It looks like he probably erred in that he tried to turn too quickly out of the lift and didn’t have enough [lift] and it dropped out of the sky,” Bush said. The pilot didn’t do a fly-over of the landing area prior to actually landing, Bush said he was told. “I fly too and this is just something you do,” Bush said. Transportation Safety Board investigators are interviewing the witnesses and looking at other factors, such as whether fog, which had been prevalent on the coast at the time, obscured visibility. The condition of the aircraft and information on any onboard recording devices will also be examined. The purpose of the trip was to do an audit of a logging operation, said Bush.
Slavik worked as a forestry consultant and frequently used float planes to get to work sites, said Bush. “I once said to him, ‘You’re on the edge – you spend so much time in these float planes that one of these days, well, what are the odds...,” Bush’s voice trailed off. “And he said, ‘Ah, what the hell.’ It was part of doing business for him.” Slavik was an astute businessman who always made time for his wife Sandy and daughters Gail and Lisa, who are in their late teens or early 20s, said Bush. “He just put his whole heart and soul into whatever he did, that’s the kind of guy he was,” Bush said. “This has just been a real, real blow. The two girls just loved their dad like you can’t believe.” Slavik grew up in Vancouver and attended B.C. Institute of Technology to study forestry. “He went into the forestry business,” said Bush. “He owned and operated a sawmill in Delta at one point, then he went on and put together three companies. “All his business was generated around the forest industry in B.C.”

Surrey to tighten dog anti-tethering bylaw forward a motion to amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, adding a specific reference to “tethering of dogs” and permitting enforcement “in situations where tethering causes a dog to be ‘in distress.’” However, Janet Olson of Campaign for Animal Rights Legislation (CARL) criticized the amendment, calling it a rewording the previous legislation and saying it did not offer guidelines for how distress is determined. In April 2012, Olson and Marcie Moriarty of the BC SPCA called on Surrey council to create its own municipal legislation to either put a one-hour time limit on tethering or ban it entirely within the city. Olson – founder of A Better Life Dog Rescue – has been a longtime advocate for animal safety, though she has faced legal troubles around her rescue efforts. Last year, she was handed 36 charges in connection with a series of alleged dog thefts across the Lower Mainland since 2006. Council is expected to consider the amendment at the next council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

SURREY — Following the approval of stricter provincial anti-tethering legislation at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention, the City of Surrey is now looking to tighten its own bylaw against the act of leaving unattended dogs chained to trees or posts for extended periods of time. Mayor Dianne Watts brought up the matter of amending the city’s antitethering legislation at the end of Monday’s public hearing, asking city solicitor Craig MacFarlane on the status of changes to the city bylaw. “Because of enforcement issues and issues related to a common provincial standard for tethering that we would prefer, we have not amended our bylaw,” said MacFarlane. Watts made a motion to amend the city’s bylaw, which was approved unanimously by council. MacFarlane added that city staff are drafting a report on what the amendment would include.

Real world scarier than Halloween ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth
H
appy Halloween – a day where we hand out candy to kids wearing costumes of fantastic creatures that have become increasingly mundane. Sadly, it has reached the point where the only thing that separates Oct. 31 from the other 364 days of the year is the extra calories. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, Halloween has changed in the last 20 years and not for the better. Unfortunately, Halloween has followed in the footprints of Christmas, a one-day celebration of goodwill toward of one’s fellow man (and woman) that has devolved into a twomonth orgy of consumer spending and conspicuous consumption with a minor religious component served up on the side. As a young lad, Halloween was a magical time, a once a year festival where our imaginations ran wild. We would carefully plan our candy collection route
with the goal of hitting as many houses as possible in our two-hour window of opportunity with the express goal of maximizing our sugar haul. Costumes were selected with this task in mind. The temperatures were usually cold, which meant warmth had to be taken into account, but we also needed extra pockets for storage, plus freedom in the leg area to ensure we could maintain a brisk pace. I remember one year my cousin thought he had hit the motherlode when he modified a moving box as his costume. It was great; he didn’t even need to carry a candy bag – he just told the homeowners to toss the treats into his costume. The only flaw in his grand design is he forgot to seal off the leg holes, effectively turning his costume into a candy-dispensing device that scattered sugar bombs across the streets and lawns of the neighbourhood. He only discovered the error of his ways at the end of the evening when he opened his costume and was dismayed to find he had far fewer treats than the rest of us. Such tales are no longer a reality as fewer and fewer
kids bother to go door to door any more. Instead, parents prefer to drop off their little goblins off at shopping malls for cheesy horror-themed, sugarfuelled consumer festivals. The demise of trick or treating is only part of the decline of Halloween into irrelevancy. Candy sales now begin in September, a time of the year when most of us are still hoping to milk a couple of extra weeks out the summer and not even thinking about what will be happening at the end of October. The best deals on candy are in that month as well, with sweet sales on sweets that grow progressively sour the closer we get to the actual day designated for treat consumption. Who buys their Halloween candy in September? The prices are slashed then because the stores know anybody buying their sugary confections that
far in advance will consume the chocolate goodies before the Thanksgiving weekend. Those shoppers then become repeat customers as they return to the stores for second and third rounds of candy shopping before the end of October. As discouraged as you are with your lack of self control for indulging in pre-Halloween sugar binges, further disappointment awaits when you open the packages and behold what passes for “fun sized” chocolate bars. Primitive South American cultures have their shrunken heads, modern North Americans have shrunken chocolate bars. Restaurants hand out bigger mints after meals than what passes for a Halloween chocolate bar these days. Even the costumes have lost their buzz. Strange clothing and eerie makeup is no longer a once-a-year exercise for trick-or-treaters
and adult partygoers. Increasing numbers of the population have turned such activities into year-round normalcy. Creepy makeup with a vampire motif? That’s just a day in the life for those among us who are inspired to adopt the goth look and lifestyle. Spooky spiders and webdraped doorways? Those items can now be found tattooed on the neck of your daughter’s new boyfriend. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens – all plenty scary at one time, but these themes have become so watered down that we can watch television shows dedicated to these subjects throughout the year. When I was a kid, Halloween was right up there with Christmas and Easter on the holiday charts. As I grew older, Christmas still topped the list, Easter morphed into a feast day

and my favourite fall day was no longer Halloween, but the day when clocks turn back an hour and I could get some extra sleep. Even with all the changes wrought to Halloween activities, however, there is still one component of horror attached to Oct. 31. On Nov. 1 the prices on all the remaining holiday candy are slashed as retailers rush to make way for the giant cash cow that is marching through the front doors. Halloween heralds the end of autumn and the onset of Christmas season, complete with fake smiles and lousy music and garish decorations and funny tasting milk and obnoxious advertising and peer pressure consumerism and zombie shoppers and... Scary stuff indeed.

MK Delta Lands deal not so good for Burns Bog The Editor, Just what exactly is being placed upon the sacrificial alter of “compromise” in the MK Delta Lands proposal? For starters, how about the increasingly rare and endangered bog land, the long term survival and health of Burns Bog, endangered animals and their habitat, trees and bog-specific shrubs and flora, biodiversity, carbon capturing, water filtration and the beauty of nature, to name a few. MK Delta Lands’ offer to hand over one parcel of bog in order to destroy another parcel of bog is based on the refusal to explore alternatives. The implication is that either MK gets its way or both parcels will be destroyed by industrial uses legally allowed. This heavy-handed tactic is definitely an obstacle, but one that can be overcome. The obvious alternative is the inclusion of these parcels into the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area. These two parcels of bog were left in the hands of private ownership when the conservancy area was created by various levels of government. This was a mistake that needs to be corrected and all three levels of government need to be pushed into doing the right thing. The United Kingdom, in its Biodiversity Action Plan, (http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Biodiversity_Action_Plan) has established bog habitats as a priority for conservation. We should do no less. The MK Delta Lands proposal is a good deal for the developer and the Corporation of Delta. Profits will be made and taxes will be collected, but the terrible loss of beneficial bog habitat is just too great to bear. Jason Lewko, Delta
inspired me to keep going. God bless you for being my angel.
A fare-box full of rosebuds to the intelligent bus passengers who have heeded driverly advice to wave a flashlight or their lit cellphone around to alert the approaching bus driver to your presence at the dark bus stop. Better yet, get a high-viz belt, vest or flashing anything! If you don’t stay alive, we’re outta work so keep up the good work, folks! A huge bunch of roses to The Laurel Place hospice for making my husband’s last days so comfortable. The doctors, nurses and volunteer staff were wonderful to him and very supportive to the family. We can’t thank you all enough for everything. Thank you. An SUV full of roses to Skyline Auto Sales on 72nd Aveue and King George Boulevard. Purchasing a vehicle is a stressful experience and you three gentlemen made my experience awesome! In customer service all my life, it was great to receive excellent customer service back. Words were followed by action... that is so rare nowadays. Roses to the young lady who helped the older gentleman with a walker cross 120th Street and
84th Avenue on Wednesday morning. At first I thought she was his caregiver, until she backtracked and carried on her way in the opposite direction. Rotten tomatoes to the numerous drivers who are either too lazy or too stupid to use signal lights when turning right. I suspect they may be the same drivers who don’t put on their lights on foggy days or at night, relying on their daytime running lights. Daytime running lights seem to have eliminated common sense in being visible, from the front and back. Rotten tomatoes to the rude driver ahead of me in the Guildford mall exit lane. I was looking down at a case which I keep my mouthguard in (at a red light, I might add) when this driver started shooting exaggarated expressions and shaking his head in disapproval thinking I was texting on my phone! I am a responsible, lawabiding citizen! Get a life you wannabe cop. A bouquet of roses to the people at the clinic at 8461 Scott Rd. who found my purse and wrote a letter to inform me
that they were keeping it safe. My relief was tremendous. Truly good neighbours. Thank you. Rotten tomatoes to the writer who complained about Fire Hall 6 members taking the truck to the grocery store. If they followed your suggestion, and got an emergency call while in the store, the crew would have to cross 152nd Street to return to the fire hall, and then respond from there. The way that they are doing it now, the vehicle is available right outside the store, thereby lowering the response time to an emergency when it really counts. Rotten tomatoes to the person sending rotten tomatoes to the firefighters of Hall 6. Do you not realize these hardworking, life-saving men and women are on call? They need their truck as close as possible, even at the grocery store, so they can respond to a call quickly. A thousand roses for the man with the walker in Holland Park, Thursday afternoon, Oct. 24, using huge effort to move his legs and body forward. Thanks for walking that day so I could see what courage looks like. You
A bucket full of rotten tomatoes to the person complaining about the fire department driving to the grocery store. This is done so the truck is close and available in case of an emergency, not due to laziness! Thanks to all firefighters for putting your lives on the line daily! A siren-raising monster rose to the firefighters everywhere who take their trucks to pick up groceries so they are ready for service every second of their shift. To think there are idiots out there who think they are lazy for doing this. I have been present when a call has come in mid shopping and within 10 seconds they were out the door and on their way ready to save someone’s home or possibly a life. Thank you. A firetruck of bright red roses to Fire Hall 6, and all Surrey firefighters. The writer who sent rotten tomatoes last column probably doesn’t know this, but the Surrey firefighters support inner city schools with their breakfast programs. They supply to those schools with kids in need fully stocked kitchens of food so that all of the students can start the day with a tummy full of nutritious food and have a more efficient school day! They fill up their fire trucks with groceries and take them to schools with kids in need.

Younger actors learn from PAL seniors ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
T
his dressing up and pretending to be someone, or something, else is all very well for Halloween. Actually, it’s kind of fun, in an odd way, to dress up in “fancy dress,” or costume. And when you choose to do it as your life’s work, there can be more tricks to the trade than treats. Making a living as a professional actor in Canada is a rewarding occupation, as long as you can augment your income from acting. It’s a tough, competitive world out there. Last time I saw stats on average yearly income for professional actors in Canada, it was around $10,000. Surrey actor Stacie Steadman has been plying her trade for nearly 10 years now, and she shared with me some of her secrets to success as an actor: “Work hard at your craft and be willing to travel.” This Queen Elizabeth Secondary grad credits her high school drama teacher, Robert Jacques, for establishing a great environment for aspiring actors. “We usually did five works a year, all Canadian content,” says Steadman. Her next training ground was Studio 58, which she describes as “one of the best schools in the west.” She was later one of eight students accepted into the Birmingham Conservatory at the revered Stratford Festival. Steadman spent three seasons with the company, appearing in shows ranging from Love’s Labour’s Lost to Peter Pan, before returning here to continue her acting career. Steadman is happy to be back in Surrey and hopes that her friends and family will all come out to see her in her next play. She will play the leading role of Ginny in Western Gold Theatre’s production of Relatively Speaking, written by Alan Ayckbourn. The show runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1 at the PAL Studio Theatre in Vancouver. Directed by
Surrey-based actor Stacie Steadman (second from right) stars in Western Gold Theatre’s production of Relatively Speaking, along with Anna Hagan, Terence Kelly (second from left) and Jay Hindle, on stage in November at PAL Studio Theatre in Vancouver. the award-winning Anthony F. Ingram, this cheeky, riotous work follows a pair of couples – one long married, one young and newly co-habitating – who find themselves frantically navigating a tangled web of mistaken identity, misunderstanding and sneaking adultery on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Performing Arts Lodge (PAL), located at 581 Cardero St., in the Coal Harbour area, is an interesting place in its own right. Home to seniors who have had careers in theatre, the theatre space at PAL provides the opportunity for younger actors, like Steadman, to learn from the more senior actors. These are the people who established live, professional theatre in Vancouver. Western Gold Theatre Society is a senior professional company of theatre artists committed to producing plays of the highest quality and relevance to audiences of all
ages. Founded by Joy Coghill in 1994, the company aims to expand and enrich the lives of senior performers and their audiences while serving as a creative role model for an expanding senior demographic. It’s true about the aging demographic; all the plays I have gone to in the past three weeks seem to have an average audience age of 55-plus. Not that I am complaining about Western Gold’s commitment to the older set. But it is also important to interest the younger part of the population to be involved in live theatre. Losing the Vancouver Playhouse was a huge blow to professional theatre, and it is difficult to keep our exceptionally fine local talent at home when there are limited opportunities. So, hooray again for the PAL production, and let us support our local talents. Joining Steadman in Relatively Speaking is Jay Hindle
(who has been seen in She Stoops to Conquer and The 39 Steps at The Arts Club), and veteran Vancouver actors Terence Kelly and Anna Hagan, both recent recipients of the 2013 Jessie Richardson Career Achievement Awards. Tickets start at $25, available online from brownpapertickets.com or by phone, 1-800-838-3066. This is a well-crafted play, according to Steadman, and one rarely performed in Canada. “We are breathing new life into it,” she says. How much better can it get for a local actor? “I go to work every day and I get to put on a vintage dress and kiss handsome men. And I get paid, and enjoy it,” Steadman adds. I know not many of the theatre lovers in Surrey will take time to travel into Vancouver to see this production. But there it is. Our local productions are every bit as good (if not better) than the touring shows that come here from the east. We just need to find a way to get some more funding for the arts and keep live theatre alive. And, since you have all been so patient, I have one parting note: One of the many plays I have viewed in October included The Hound of the Baskervilles, directed by Ellie King and presented at Newton Cultural Centre. This was a totally excellent, professional production with creative sets, ingenious costuming and a brilliant cast. The only flaw was a lack of funding to put it into a better theatre space. Newton Cultural Centre has a lot of pluses going for it, but the black-box theatre needs a seating solution. With no platform stage, and seating not raised, people sitting in anything other than the first two rows really could not see much. Affordable theatre space is limited, and I give great credit to Newton Cultural Centre for reaching out to the community and making space available. But we need bleacher seating, like what is available at Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre. It is just a question of funding. Let’s put it on the list and find a way to make it happen. melminty@telus.net

SURREY — Prolific painter Robert Genn has begun the “sad but fun” process of sorting through a lifetime of his work. The task has been set in motion by this: Pancreatic cancer has invaded the body of the celebrated artist, who lives at Crescent Beach. Last Friday (Oct. 25), Genn broke news of his health condition to readers of his popular Twice-Weekly Letters, posted at www. painterskeys.com and also emailed to tens of thousands of subscribers. In a post titled “The Bomb,” Genn says the conversation with his family doctor – also a friend and neighbour who came to the artist’s studio on a recent Saturday morning to tell
Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.
To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

might be done. I didn’t have the intention of leaving the planet so soon.” Genn, 77, is noted for his landscape paintings. He has written three books and has also snapped more than 165,000 photographs around the world as reference material for his many oils, acrylics, drawings, lithos,

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for
H O U S I N G M AT T E R S
serigraphs and other works. Sara, herself an artist who now lives in New York, is helping her father divide his work into “destroy,” “sign” and “keep” categories. Wrote Genn: “Having been through similar situations with several artists who happened to be dear friends, one of my concerns is that substandard Robert Genn paintings don’t get out onto the market.… For years I’ve been telling artists to do it now, not later. Today we find ourselves doing it now.” Many works of sentimental value are for family and friends, Genn noted, while others will “march out of the studio over time.” Genn says he will cancel speeches and appearances over the next few months. “We’ve got too much to do right here,” he wrote.
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

‘Hunger Games’ poetry contest at Surrey Arts Centre Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
SURREY — The theme of “hunger and how it affects the community” is the focus of a poetry contest and event 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at Surrey Arts Centre. The second annual Universal Word Poetry Competition is organized by A.C.M.E. Arts Society, led by Terrance Evans and Anita Voth. Their non-
profit society works to promote youth in the arts. “We believe youth should be given a voice through the arts, and that their world view is valid, important and needs to be heard to create positive change for our world,” says a post at universalword.ca. The deadline for submissions in the “Hunger Games” poetry competition is 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, from those age nine to 25, in three categories. Visit
Live and Local
www.universalword.ca. for details. Submissions should be emailed to submissions@ universalword.ca. The society held its inaugural poetry event last year at Newton Cultural Centre. This year’s event is backed by Envision Financial’s The Full Cupboard program, in support of Surrey Food Bank. Admission to the event is by donation of cash or food item.
Jacob Zinn’s “Live and Local” series, which focuses on musicians and music venues in Surrey, White Rock and North Delta, will return next week. In the meantime, email story ideas to jzinn@thenownewspaper.com.

Dancer Amadea H. in a promo photo for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ariaâ&#x20AC;? show to be staged by the South Surrey-based Diskordanse company in Surrey and Vancouver next May.
SURREY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A dance show that explores the relationship between air and fire is being produced by
Diskordanse, a contemporary dance company based in South Surrey. Aria will debut next May at Surrey Arts Centre and Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concept is playing with air and fire and the fact that they need each other but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also dangerous to each other,â&#x20AC;? artistic director Nela Hallwas told the Now. Hallwas will be among those at a
dance company fundraiser Friday, Nov. 15 at the Breeze development clubhouse, at Grandview Heights. A $100 ticket to the event includes a seat at a performance of Aria next spring. Food and beverages at the event will be served by a number of local favourites, including The Cabin restaurant, Five Doors Down and The Original Cakerie. For details, visit www.diskordanse.ca.

Bell to keep an eye on customers – like it or not DotComrade Christopher Poon Columnist
S
eemingly undeterred or oblivious to all of the negative press about the U.S. monitoring pretty much everyone’s cellphone activities, Bell Canada recently announced that it will begin monitoring its customers data usage in the name of ad-targeting. The data mining is set to begin on Nov. 16 and for Bell users, that means phone call locations and durations, web use and download history, and TV viewing habits. Most Bell users are probably not in favour of such monitoring, and any inquiries to the company regarding users being able to opt-out have only resulted in Bell mentioning that users are able to opt out of receiving targeted ads, but not the data mining itself. Basically, you can opt to not have targeted ads while using Bell’s services, but they’re still going to keep tabs on what you’re doing at all times. Hilariously, the provider even issued a press release titled ‘Bell to deliver online advertising relevant to customer while protecting their data,’ as if their PR speak could somehow soften the blow. The release begins by describing how the program is set to protect the data of its users while incorrectly stating that no customer is required to participate in the program, making it seem as if they have a choice. “This new program puts Bell in a position to compete with world players like Google, Facebook and others in focused online information delivery,” said Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Mobility and Residential Services in the release. “Offered first to our mobile customers, Bell
looks forward to expanding the program to customers of Bell Internet and other services as we continue to seek new ways to improve the online experience for our customers.” What Oosterman fails to mention, or realize, is that Google and Facebook are offering their services for free, and collecting information and data for ad purposes is their main source of income. Users of those services can opt out at anytime by simply closing their accounts hassle free. With Bell, these are services that users are already paying a lot of money to use and are contractually obliged to continue using for years to come, barring any sort of change in terms such as this. But that’s where things can get interesting. While those under contract with Bell Canada may be unable to opt out of having their data usage tracked and stored, there is a suggestion among outraged Bell customers to cancel their contracts with the carrier using the argument that this is a clear change of terms and services. While cancelling a mobile contract is generally an experience as pleasant as receiving a root canal, many are claiming this is a black-and-white case of a change in terms and services, allowing users to cancel their plans without the penalties normally associated with breaking a contract. Bell’s announcement has also caught the eye of Canada’s privacy commissioner, which has announced plans to investigate the company’s data-mining plans. Hopefully, with pressure coming from users and government officials, Bell will decide to abandon their plans. Wouldn’t it be something if mobile carriers decided to offer something of actual value to their customers instead of threatening them with stuff like this? cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Panthers upended by Ravens Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow
The second-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers tasted defeat for the first time this season when they
were upended 21-10 by the fourthranked Terry Fox Ravens in class AAA football action in Coquitlam Friday. The tough Ravens defence managed to corral the Panthers running game, stifling Lord Tweedsmuir’s attack
throughout the contest. “It was a tough game and neither team really moved the ball well,” said Panthers coach Kurt Thornton. “Fox is a good team, but they took advantage see CRUSADERS › page 33
SURREY — Two more losses put a discouraging cap on a dismal month of October for the defending B.C. Hockey League champion Surrey Eagles last weekend. The Eagles were nipped 3-2 by the Chiefs in Chilliwack Saturday night before returning home Sunday where they were dumped 5-3 by a skeleton crew from West Kelowna. The latest losses left the Eagles with just two wins and a tie to show for 10 games in the month of October. “Both of those games were winnable,” said Eagles coach Peter Schaefer. “Chilliwack has had some struggles this year and West Kelowna is missing nine players with injuries and (World Junior A Challenge) tryouts right now. Consistency is a problem for us right now. We want to have an identity as a team and no matter who is in or out of the lineup, we should play the same kind of game. Even if we are missing some guys, we should not get outworked and right now, we’re just giving teams the game. “We had a work day Monday and we’re going to continue to work until we find a way out of this.” In Chilliwack Saturday, Surrey trailed 2-0 in the second period before pulling even on goals by Joseph Drapluk and Brett Mulcahy. The comeback was derailed in the third period when the Eagles surrendered a short-handed goal to fall 3-2 to the Chiefs. Back at South Surrey Arena Sunday, the Eagles coughed up two points to a short-staffed West Kelowna team playing its third road game in as many nights. Surrey held a 3-2 lead after two periods only to have the Warriors strike for three unanswered goals in the final frame to pull out the win. Mulcahy, Kale Bennett and Austin Ferguson provided the goals for Surrey.

High school football
Crusaders cruise past Spectrum on Island ‹ from page 31 of some short fields. In the end we had more rushing yards than them, or pretty close.” In the second half we had four three-andouts in a row and that definitely didn’t help us. When you can’t move the ball and keep giving them short fields, it’s tough to beat a team like Fox.” Lord Tweedsmuir led 10-7 at the half thanks to a Jamel Lyles touchdown and a Connor McKay field goal. The Panthers had a chance to pad their lead moments before halftime, but McKay’s pass to the end zone came up empty, leading to a missed field goal on the next play. The second half was all Terry Fox as the Panthers offence sputtered throughout the final two quarters. Tweedsmuir’s offensive problems were compounded by a botched punt from their own end zone travelled just 15 yards, setting up another Ravens touchdown. Lyles finished with 18 carries for 88 yards and one TD, by far his lowest rushing numbers of the season. On defence, linebacker Jairo Salazar, defensive back Brendan Woods and
defensive lineman Austin Thornton all collected eight tackles for the Panthers. Tweedsmuir is back in action Friday when they host Centennial at 3 p.m. A win will clinch second place in the eastern conference standings and assure the Panthers of a first round playoff bye. Meanwhile in class AA football action, the Holy Cross Crusaders kept their playoff hopes alive with a convincing 50-6 romp over Spectrum in Victoria Friday. Jonathon Kongbo made an impact on both sides of the ball for the Crusaders, rushing 75 yards for one touchdown on offence and then returning an interception for another major while playing defence. The Crusaders will face a much tougher test this weekend when they host crosstown rival Frank Hurt Hornets in a game to determine second place in the class AA southern conference. Game time is 1:30 p.m. Elsewhere, the Seaquam Seahawks were grounded last Friday thanks to a baggage snafu with B.C. Ferries that left the Birds on Vancouver Island without equipment. Their game with Nanaimo District was cancelled as a result.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Norm Rinne Senior Director, Business Development Kinder Morgan Canada Kinder Morgan Canada is proposing an expansion of its existing 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain Pipeline, which runs from Strathcona County (near Edmonton) to Burnaby, BC. If approved, the proposed $5.4 billion project would increase the capacity of the pipeline that transports a variety of energy products for local and international markets. The proposed twinning of the existing pipeline, in operation since 1953, offers a wide range of bene¿ts including new jobs, procurement opportunities and other positive spinoffs for BC and Alberta communities – during the twoyear construction phase and long-term operations.
Media Sponsor:
The Trans Mountain team is committed to creating local economic opportunities along the construction right-of-way. Norm Rinne will describe the various stages and types of jobs, procurement possibilities, and local workforce spending involved in building a pipeline. The presentation will include a progress report on the proposed project and how businesses in the Surrey area can prepare to participate in the project.

Prep for winter now
Winter weather is just around the corner, and drivers need to be prepared for snowy and icy conditions. Motorists are required to have winter tires or carry suitable chains from Oct. 1 to April 30 while travelling on highways designated with winter travel signs. The best way to prepare is to equip your vehicle with good winter tires, identified with a mountain snowflake symbol that appears on the tire sidewalls. While winter tires are not mandatory provincewide in B.C., there are many routes that regularly experience severe winter conditions. On these routes, winter tires or chains are mandatory and signs are posted to warn drivers. A map of the designated highways where motorists must have winter tires or chains can be found at: www.th.gov. bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/ winter_chains.html. When planning a trip, drivers can check webcams to find out about the weather and road conditions for their route at www. drivebc.ca.

Surrey council opposes port’s coal expansion ‘We’ve done the right thing in saying that’s not an acceptable type of energy’ says Rasode Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris
SURREY — Following an impassioned plea from residents and an 11,000signature petition, Surrey city council has declared its opposition to the proposed coal terminal expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks until full public hearings and an independent third-party health assessment are completed. The resolution came following a delegation by anti-coal citizens group Communities and Coal Monday afternoon, during which they requested council take a more hardened stance on the issue, similar to what other municipalities in the region have been doing. Around 100 residents opposed to the coal project were also in attendance during the delegation, all of which were dressed in black to symbolize the effects of coal dust in the community. Later that evening, council took the steps necessary to make their position on the matter clear.
“We certainly have issues we have to have resolved before we can support something like this at Fraser Surrey Docks, that being the health impacts to our community and what that’s going to be down the road,” said councillor and chair of city’s environmental committee Bruce Hayne. “There are just so many questions and we can’t be supporting this until we get answers in a fulsome way. “The delegation made it very clear how important this issue is to our community, not just one area but a very broad base of our community.” Coun. Barinder Rasode said while this would hopefully add to the pressure for decision-maker Port Metro Vancouver to follow through on the community’s desire, she wasn’t optimistic that coal would ever be something the community would accept. “We will not only support the community but we’ve done the right thing in saying that’s not an acceptable type of energy that we want transported though our community, (especially) when we’ve taken such a strong advocacy role around rail safety, the number of trains going through our community and access to Crescent Beach,” she said. “Topped off with the type of coal this is, I think we will probably be in the same position as see ‘THIS SENDS › page 6

First plaques placed in new program Surrey staff create sponsorship program to install memorial markers on unmarked graves Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — “He’s so happy right now... I can feel him in my heart right now.” Shirley Briscoe, mother of Jason Briscoe, blew her late son a kiss as she waited for his headstone to be set in the dewy grass of Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery on Tuesday morning. Jason was 46 when he passed away from colorectal cancer on May 23, 2013 after a two-year battle. “That’s so beautiful,” Shirley said as she looked at her son’s name and years of birth and death engraved in the granite marker. With tears in her eyes, the 85-year-old mother placed a red rose on his grave. The marker was installed free of charge through a City of Surrey initiative. While the Ministry of Social Development pays for the interment of individuals whose families can’t afford a burial or cremation, it doesn’t cover the installation of a memorial marker. The city has partnered with Stonemarks Engraving, which will provide markers to families receiving help from the ministry in the future. Jason Briscoe was one of three people whose markers were installed on Tuesday. Currently, there are 32 markers being provided through Stonemarks Engraving. The city is also launching a second program to solicit community donations to be able to provide memorial markers for the 350 pre-existing unmarked graves in Surrey’s three civic cemeteries. This program is expected to be in place in early 2014. Shirley said having a marker on her son’s grave provides her with some closure. “It makes me feel wonderful. It touches my heart. Mind you, I have such a hollow heart right now, but time will heal,” she said

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) Tuesday. Shirley couldn’t believe it when she found out her son would receive a headstone, free of charge. “I had goosebumps. I felt so relieved and I was so elated,” Shirley said. Jason’s sister, Anita Briscoe, spoke to a modest crowd at the cemetery Tuesday and said the two were close, even as young children. She spoke of Jason’s career modelling in Paris, Greece and Milan. “My brother was an artist, a true people person and an amazing athlete. In fact, I remember watching him in aerial skiing. It seemed effortless,” Anita said. “He would do a backflip, spreadeagle, land it perfectly, every time.” Anita said her brother’s last and biggest request was that he received a true Catholic
mass and burial. “I promised him that this would be,” Anita said. Her family laid Jason to rest on June 7, but they were not aware the headstone was not included in the burial. Anita later contacted Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery staff and inquired about getting one. “I felt as though my promise I made to my brother Jay was incomplete, seeing that his gravesite was still unmarked. It was at this time that Anna (Terrace) explained the program she was giving wings to, where her ultimate goal was to ensure that no person lay buried without a headstone.” Anna Terrace is Surrey’s cemetery coordinator, who initiated the program to get markers for all of the city’s unmarked graves.
“Thank you Anna. You have given something incredible to me and my family today. My brother’s Catholic mass and burial is now complete,” Anita said. “I can’t really find a way to ever repay you, but how I look at it is perhaps all of my brother’s good deeds are being repaid to him and to his family here today.” Terrace said it’s important that all community members are remembered. “How many times do you walk through a cemetery and take a look at the names and dates and wonder who that person was. We don’t need to know their financial status, it’s proof that they were here and they existed,” Terrace said. Those wishing to donate to the project can call the city’s cemetery office at 604598-5770 or email cemeteryinfo@surrey.ca. areid@thenownewspaper.com

‹ from page 1 Oregon and Washington State in saying that this is not something we want to be a part of our community.” Previously, council had sent a request to Fraser Surrey Docks and Port Metro Vancouver urging for more efforts in the community be made on their part, and Mayor Dianne Watts said those concerns appear to have gone unheeded. “For the purposes of the general public, the issues that we had presented to Port Metro in July had to do with noise, emergency access with Crescent Beach, dust and health impacts, and safety issues and stabilization of the bank,” said Watts. “We want to make sure the general public is aware we’ve been dealing with these issues since July, so this motion is a reconfirmation of the work we’ve been doing.” According to Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who is a resident of one of the areas that would be affected most by an increase in coal train traffic, the resolution was much needed. “I think this motion is one step stronger

VANCOUVER ISLAND — White Rock businessman Norm Slavik, who died in a float plane crash near Potts Lagoon off Port McNeill on Thursday, was reluctant to make the trip, and only decided at the last minute to go, said his wife’s uncle on Sunday. “Norm did not want to go on this trip – he was really only going as a favour to his friend,” said Jack Bush of Comox on Sunday. The pilot of an Air Cab Cessna 185 had left Coal Harbour that morning and picked up Slavik, 58, and another man in Port McNeill before heading southeast to West Cracroft Island. The B.C. coroner has identified the other passenger as Frederick Gerald Cecil Wiley, 40, of Merville on Vancouver Island, and the pilot as Kevin Roger Williams, 42, from Lake Country in the Okanagan. The aircraft was preparing to land in a confined area near the logging camp when it slammed into a hillside about 20 metres from the shoreline, said the
S OUTHPOINTE A CADEMY www.southpointeacademy.ca
Transportation Safety Board. Occupants of a shrimp boat saw the crash, called authorities and tried to help the three crash victims, but all died at the scene. Witnesses reported the aircraft appeared to abort its landing and stalled, plummeting into the trees, said Bush, who is a pilot himself. “It looks like he probably erred in that he tried to turn too quickly out of the lift and didn’t have enough [lift] and it dropped out of the sky,” Bush said. The pilot didn’t do a fly-over of the landing area prior to actually landing, Bush said he was told. “I fly too and this is just something you do,” Bush said. Transportation Safety Board investigators are interviewing the witnesses and looking at other factors, such as whether fog, which had been prevalent on the coast at the time, obscured visibility. The condition of the aircraft and information on any onboard recording devices will also be examined. The purpose of the trip was to do an audit of a logging operation, said Bush.
Slavik worked as a forestry consultant and frequently used float planes to get to work sites, said Bush. “I once said to him, ‘You’re on the edge – you spend so much time in these float planes that one of these days, well, what are the odds...,” Bush’s voice trailed off. “And he said, ‘Ah, what the hell.’ It was part of doing business for him.” Slavik was an astute businessman who always made time for his wife Sandy and daughters Gail and Lisa, who are in their late teens or early 20s, said Bush. “He just put his whole heart and soul into whatever he did, that’s the kind of guy he was,” Bush said. “This has just been a real, real blow. The two girls just loved their dad like you can’t believe.” Slavik grew up in Vancouver and attended B.C. Institute of Technology to study forestry. “He went into the forestry business,” said Bush. “He owned and operated a sawmill in Delta at one point, then he went on and put together three companies. “All his business was generated around the forest industry in B.C.”

NEWS White Rock
Sandpiper Pub granted occupancy increase to 115 Christopher Poon Now staff Twitter @questionchris
WHITE ROCK — The Sandpiper Pub will be opening its doors to a few more customers from now on following the provincial approval of an increase in the pub’s capacity. The decision follows White Rock council’s deferral of making the decision in July, as Coun. Bill Lawrence is a co-owner of the establishment. At that time, council was looking to avoid a perceived conflict of interest, hence the deferral to the provincial liquor board. And while the pub had been hit with penalties in the past for being overcapacity, co-owner Judy Baker said that’s all water under the bridge now. “Our whole staff and everybody involved, our patrons and workers, we’re absolutely ecstatic,” said Baker. “The ambiance changes, the tone of the business changes, the hours for our staff and everyone changes.” Prior to the increase, the Sandpiper could only seat a maximum of 65 customers at any one time. Now the pub can fit 115, which will hopefully eliminate the need for lineups, said Baker.
After many years of trying, the owners of the Sandpiper Pub on Marine Drive have finally gotten permission to increase the pub’s seating capacity. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) “We don’t have to have lineups anymore,” she said. “We would usually have 20 to 30 people waiting outside in the rain, snow or sunshine, waiting to get in to a place that holds 120 comfortably, but can only seat 65
with the licence it had.” The capacity increase is something that the pub’s owners have been seeking for years and Baker noted that even the establishment’s previous owners had
attempted to get the capacity increased, with little success. “We’ve been trying to increase the capacity for 18 years and the predecessors as well, so it’s been an ongoing thing for at least 22 years,” she said. “We’ve been trying to get this licence changed for the fire code and what happens is that we’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. Now our delivery people can come in, our cleaning crew can come in more frequently, it just affects a lot of people.” The Sandpiper Pub was temporarily shut down in January following the suspension of its licence as a result of overcrowding in the summer of 2012. Later in the year, the pub’s licence was again suspended, this time for incidents surrounding an intoxicated patron. However, Baker said those incidents are all in the past and now she’s looking forward to being able to serve more customers than ever. “We’re so thankful to our customers and our wonderful patrons who stood by us and supported us through these somewhat challenging times to wait for this decision, we thank them for their support,” she said. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Real world scarier than Halloween ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth
H
appy Halloween – a day where we hand out candy to kids wearing costumes of fantastic creatures that have become increasingly mundane. Sadly, it has reached the point where the only thing that separates Oct. 31 from the other 364 days of the year is the extra calories. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, Halloween has changed in the last 20 years and not for the better. Unfortunately, Halloween has followed in the footprints of Christmas, a one-day celebration of goodwill toward of one’s fellow man (and woman) that has devolved into a twomonth orgy of consumer spending and conspicuous consumption with a minor religious component served up on the side. As a young lad, Halloween was a magical time, a once a year festival where our imaginations ran wild. We would carefully plan our candy collection route
with the goal of hitting as many houses as possible in our two-hour window of opportunity with the express goal of maximizing our sugar haul. Costumes were selected with this task in mind. The temperatures were usually cold, which meant warmth had to be taken into account, but we also needed extra pockets for storage, plus freedom in the leg area to ensure we could maintain a brisk pace. I remember one year my cousin thought he had hit the motherlode when he modified a moving box as his costume. It was great; he didn’t even need to carry a candy bag – he just told the homeowners to toss the treats into his costume. The only flaw in his grand design is he forgot to seal off the leg holes, effectively turning his costume into a candy-dispensing device that scattered sugar bombs across the streets and lawns of the neighbourhood. He only discovered the error of his ways at the end of the evening when he opened his costume and was dismayed to find he had far fewer treats than the rest of us. Such tales are no longer a reality as fewer and fewer
kids bother to go door to door any more. Instead, parents prefer to drop off their little goblins off at shopping malls for cheesy horror-themed, sugarfuelled consumer festivals. The demise of trick or treating is only part of the decline of Halloween into irrelevancy. Candy sales now begin in September, a time of the year when most of us are still hoping to milk a couple of extra weeks out the summer and not even thinking about what will be happening at the end of October. The best deals on candy are in that month as well, with sweet sales on sweets that grow progressively sour the closer we get to the actual day designated for treat consumption. Who buys their Halloween candy in September? The prices are slashed then because the stores know anybody buying their sugary confections that
far in advance will consume the chocolate goodies before the Thanksgiving weekend. Those shoppers then become repeat customers as they return to the stores for second and third rounds of candy shopping before the end of October. As discouraged as you are with your lack of self control for indulging in pre-Halloween sugar binges, further disappointment awaits when you open the packages and behold what passes for “fun sized” chocolate bars. Primitive South American cultures have their shrunken heads, modern North Americans have shrunken chocolate bars. Restaurants hand out bigger mints after meals than what passes for a Halloween chocolate bar these days. Even the costumes have lost their buzz. Strange clothing and eerie makeup is no longer a once-a-year exercise for trick-or-treaters
and adult partygoers. Increasing numbers of the population have turned such activities into year-round normalcy. Creepy makeup with a vampire motif? That’s just a day in the life for those among us who are inspired to adopt the goth look and lifestyle. Spooky spiders and webdraped doorways? Those items can now be found tattooed on the neck of your daughter’s new boyfriend. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens – all plenty scary at one time, but these themes have become so watered down that we can watch television shows dedicated to these subjects throughout the year. When I was a kid, Halloween was right up there with Christmas and Easter on the holiday charts. As I grew older, Christmas still topped the list, Easter morphed into a feast day

and my favourite fall day was no longer Halloween, but the day when clocks turn back an hour and I could get some extra sleep. Even with all the changes wrought to Halloween activities, however, there is still one component of horror attached to Oct. 31. On Nov. 1 the prices on all the remaining holiday candy are slashed as retailers rush to make way for the giant cash cow that is marching through the front doors. Halloween heralds the end of autumn and the onset of Christmas season, complete with fake smiles and lousy music and garish decorations and funny tasting milk and obnoxious advertising and peer pressure consumerism and zombie shoppers and... Scary stuff indeed.

MK Delta Lands deal not so good for Burns Bog The Editor, Just what exactly is being placed upon the sacrificial alter of “compromise” in the MK Delta Lands proposal? For starters, how about the increasingly rare and endangered bog land, the long term survival and health of Burns Bog, endangered animals and their habitat, trees and bog-specific shrubs and flora, biodiversity, carbon capturing, water filtration and the beauty of nature, to name a few. MK Delta Lands’ offer to hand over one parcel of bog in order to destroy another parcel of bog is based on the refusal to explore alternatives. The implication is that either MK gets its way or both parcels will be destroyed by industrial uses legally allowed. This heavy-handed tactic is definitely an obstacle, but one that can be overcome. The obvious alternative is the inclusion of these parcels into the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area. These two parcels of bog were left in the hands of private ownership when the conservancy area was created by various levels of government. This was a mistake that needs to be corrected and all three levels of government need to be pushed into doing the right thing. The United Kingdom, in its Biodiversity Action Plan, (http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Biodiversity_Action_Plan) has established bog habitats as a priority for conservation. We should do no less. The MK Delta Lands proposal is a good deal for the developer and the Corporation of Delta. Profits will be made and taxes will be collected, but the terrible loss of beneficial bog habitat is just too great to bear. Jason Lewko, Delta
inspired me to keep going. God bless you for being my angel.
A fare-box full of rosebuds to the intelligent bus passengers who have heeded driverly advice to wave a flashlight or their lit cellphone around to alert the approaching bus driver to your presence at the dark bus stop. Better yet, get a high-viz belt, vest or flashing anything! If you don’t stay alive, we’re outta work so keep up the good work, folks! A huge bunch of roses to The Laurel Place hospice for making my husband’s last days so comfortable. The doctors, nurses and volunteer staff were wonderful to him and very supportive to the family. We can’t thank you all enough for everything. Thank you. An SUV full of roses to Skyline Auto Sales on 72nd Aveue and King George Boulevard. Purchasing a vehicle is a stressful experience and you three gentlemen made my experience awesome! In customer service all my life, it was great to receive excellent customer service back. Words were followed by action... that is so rare nowadays. Roses to the young lady who helped the older gentleman with a walker cross 120th Street and
84th Avenue on Wednesday morning. At first I thought she was his caregiver, until she backtracked and carried on her way in the opposite direction. Rotten tomatoes to the numerous drivers who are either too lazy or too stupid to use signal lights when turning right. I suspect they may be the same drivers who don’t put on their lights on foggy days or at night, relying on their daytime running lights. Daytime running lights seem to have eliminated common sense in being visible, from the front and back. Rotten tomatoes to the rude driver ahead of me in the Guildford mall exit lane. I was looking down at a case which I keep my mouthguard in (at a red light, I might add) when this driver started shooting exaggarated expressions and shaking his head in disapproval thinking I was texting on my phone! I am a responsible, lawabiding citizen! Get a life you wannabe cop. A bouquet of roses to the people at the clinic at 8461 Scott Rd. who found my purse and wrote a letter to inform me
that they were keeping it safe. My relief was tremendous. Truly good neighbours. Thank you. Rotten tomatoes to the writer who complained about Fire Hall 6 members taking the truck to the grocery store. If they followed your suggestion, and got an emergency call while in the store, the crew would have to cross 152nd Street to return to the fire hall, and then respond from there. The way that they are doing it now, the vehicle is available right outside the store, thereby lowering the response time to an emergency when it really counts. Rotten tomatoes to the person sending rotten tomatoes to the firefighters of Hall 6. Do you not realize these hardworking, life-saving men and women are on call? They need their truck as close as possible, even at the grocery store, so they can respond to a call quickly. A thousand roses for the man with the walker in Holland Park, Thursday afternoon, Oct. 24, using huge effort to move his legs and body forward. Thanks for walking that day so I could see what courage looks like. You
A bucket full of rotten tomatoes to the person complaining about the fire department driving to the grocery store. This is done so the truck is close and available in case of an emergency, not due to laziness! Thanks to all firefighters for putting your lives on the line daily! A siren-raising monster rose to the firefighters everywhere who take their trucks to pick up groceries so they are ready for service every second of their shift. To think there are idiots out there who think they are lazy for doing this. I have been present when a call has come in mid shopping and within 10 seconds they were out the door and on their way ready to save someone’s home or possibly a life. Thank you. A firetruck of bright red roses to Fire Hall 6, and all Surrey firefighters. The writer who sent rotten tomatoes last column probably doesn’t know this, but the Surrey firefighters support inner city schools with their breakfast programs. They supply to those schools with kids in need fully stocked kitchens of food so that all of the students can start the day with a tummy full of nutritious food and have a more efficient school day! They fill up their fire trucks with groceries and take them to schools with kids in need.

Younger actors learn from PAL seniors ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
T
his dressing up and pretending to be someone, or something, else is all very well for Halloween. Actually, it’s kind of fun, in an odd way, to dress up in “fancy dress,” or costume. And when you choose to do it as your life’s work, there can be more tricks to the trade than treats. Making a living as a professional actor in Canada is a rewarding occupation, as long as you can augment your income from acting. It’s a tough, competitive world out there. Last time I saw stats on average yearly income for professional actors in Canada, it was around $10,000. Surrey actor Stacie Steadman has been plying her trade for nearly 10 years now, and she shared with me some of her secrets to success as an actor: “Work hard at your craft and be willing to travel.” This Queen Elizabeth Secondary grad credits her high school drama teacher, Robert Jacques, for establishing a great environment for aspiring actors. “We usually did five works a year, all Canadian content,” says Steadman. Her next training ground was Studio 58, which she describes as “one of the best schools in the west.” She was later one of eight students accepted into the Birmingham Conservatory at the revered Stratford Festival. Steadman spent three seasons with the company, appearing in shows ranging from Love’s Labour’s Lost to Peter Pan, before returning here to continue her acting career. Steadman is happy to be back in Surrey and hopes that her friends and family will all come out to see her in her next play. She will play the leading role of Ginny in Western Gold Theatre’s production of Relatively Speaking, written by Alan Ayckbourn. The show runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1 at the PAL Studio Theatre in Vancouver. Directed by
Surrey-based actor Stacie Steadman (second from right) stars in Western Gold Theatre’s production of Relatively Speaking, along with Anna Hagan, Terence Kelly (second from left) and Jay Hindle, on stage in November at PAL Studio Theatre in Vancouver. the award-winning Anthony F. Ingram, this cheeky, riotous work follows a pair of couples – one long married, one young and newly co-habitating – who find themselves frantically navigating a tangled web of mistaken identity, misunderstanding and sneaking adultery on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Performing Arts Lodge (PAL), located at 581 Cardero St., in the Coal Harbour area, is an interesting place in its own right. Home to seniors who have had careers in theatre, the theatre space at PAL provides the opportunity for younger actors, like Steadman, to learn from the more senior actors. These are the people who established live, professional theatre in Vancouver. Western Gold Theatre Society is a senior professional company of theatre artists committed to producing plays of the highest quality and relevance to audiences of all
ages. Founded by Joy Coghill in 1994, the company aims to expand and enrich the lives of senior performers and their audiences while serving as a creative role model for an expanding senior demographic. It’s true about the aging demographic; all the plays I have gone to in the past three weeks seem to have an average audience age of 55-plus. Not that I am complaining about Western Gold’s commitment to the older set. But it is also important to interest the younger part of the population to be involved in live theatre. Losing the Vancouver Playhouse was a huge blow to professional theatre, and it is difficult to keep our exceptionally fine local talent at home when there are limited opportunities. So, hooray again for the PAL production, and let us support our local talents. Joining Steadman in Relatively Speaking is Jay Hindle
(who has been seen in She Stoops to Conquer and The 39 Steps at The Arts Club), and veteran Vancouver actors Terence Kelly and Anna Hagan, both recent recipients of the 2013 Jessie Richardson Career Achievement Awards. Tickets start at $25, available online from brownpapertickets.com or by phone, 1-800-838-3066. This is a well-crafted play, according to Steadman, and one rarely performed in Canada. “We are breathing new life into it,” she says. How much better can it get for a local actor? “I go to work every day and I get to put on a vintage dress and kiss handsome men. And I get paid, and enjoy it,” Steadman adds. I know not many of the theatre lovers in Surrey will take time to travel into Vancouver to see this production. But there it is. Our local productions are every bit as good (if not better) than the touring shows that come here from the east. We just need to find a way to get some more funding for the arts and keep live theatre alive. And, since you have all been so patient, I have one parting note: One of the many plays I have viewed in October included The Hound of the Baskervilles, directed by Ellie King and presented at Newton Cultural Centre. This was a totally excellent, professional production with creative sets, ingenious costuming and a brilliant cast. The only flaw was a lack of funding to put it into a better theatre space. Newton Cultural Centre has a lot of pluses going for it, but the black-box theatre needs a seating solution. With no platform stage, and seating not raised, people sitting in anything other than the first two rows really could not see much. Affordable theatre space is limited, and I give great credit to Newton Cultural Centre for reaching out to the community and making space available. But we need bleacher seating, like what is available at Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre. It is just a question of funding. Let’s put it on the list and find a way to make it happen. melminty@telus.net

SURREY — Prolific painter Robert Genn has begun the “sad but fun” process of sorting through a lifetime of his work. The task has been set in motion by this: Pancreatic cancer has invaded the body of the celebrated artist, who lives at Crescent Beach. Last Friday (Oct. 25), Genn broke news of his health condition to readers of his popular Twice-Weekly Letters, posted at www. painterskeys.com and also emailed to tens of thousands of subscribers. In a post titled “The Bomb,” Genn says the conversation with his family doctor – also a friend and neighbour who came to the artist’s studio on a recent Saturday morning to tell
Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.
To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

might be done. I didn’t have the intention of leaving the planet so soon.” Genn, 77, is noted for his landscape paintings. He has written three books and has also snapped more than 165,000 photographs around the world as reference material for his many oils, acrylics, drawings, lithos,

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

serigraphs and other works. Sara, herself an artist who now lives in New York, is helping her father divide his work into “destroy,” “sign” and “keep” categories. Wrote Genn: “Having been through similar situations with several artists who happened to be dear friends, one of my concerns is that substandard Robert Genn paintings don’t get out onto the market.… For years I’ve been telling artists to do it now, not later. Today we find ourselves doing it now.” Many works of sentimental value are for family and friends, Genn noted, while others will “march out of the studio over time.” Genn says he will cancel speeches and appearances over the next few months. “We’ve got too much to do right here,” he wrote.
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

‘Hunger Games’ poetry contest at Surrey Arts Centre Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
SURREY — The theme of “hunger and how it affects the community” is the focus of a poetry contest and event 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at Surrey Arts Centre. The second annual Universal Word Poetry Competition is organized by A.C.M.E. Arts Society, led by Terrance Evans and Anita Voth. Their non-
profit society works to promote youth in the arts. “We believe youth should be given a voice through the arts, and that their world view is valid, important and needs to be heard to create positive change for our world,” says a post at universalword.ca. The deadline for submissions in the “Hunger Games” poetry competition is 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, from those age nine to 25, in three categories. Visit
Live and Local

Dancer Amadea H. in a promo photo for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ariaâ&#x20AC;? show to be staged by the South Surrey-based Diskordanse company in Surrey and Vancouver next May.
SURREY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A dance show that explores the relationship between air and fire is being produced by
Diskordanse, a contemporary dance company based in South Surrey. Aria will debut next May at Surrey Arts Centre and Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concept is playing with air and fire and the fact that they need each other but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also dangerous to each other,â&#x20AC;? artistic director Nela Hallwas told the Now. Hallwas will be among those at a
dance company fundraiser Friday, Nov. 15 at the Breeze development clubhouse, at Grandview Heights. A $100 ticket to the event includes a seat at a performance of Aria next spring. Food and beverages at the event will be served by a number of local favourites, including The Cabin restaurant, Five Doors Down and The Original Cakerie. For details, visit www.diskordanse.ca.

Bell to keep an eye on customers – like it or not DotComrade Christopher Poon Columnist
S
eemingly undeterred or oblivious to all of the negative press about the U.S. monitoring pretty much everyone’s cellphone activities, Bell Canada recently announced that it will begin monitoring its customers data usage in the name of ad-targeting. The data mining is set to begin on Nov. 16 and for Bell users, that means phone call locations and durations, web use and download history, and TV viewing habits. Most Bell users are probably not in favour of such monitoring, and any inquiries to the company regarding users being able to opt-out have only resulted in Bell mentioning that users are able to opt out of receiving targeted ads, but not the data mining itself. Basically, you can opt to not have targeted ads while using Bell’s services, but they’re still going to keep tabs on what you’re doing at all times. Hilariously, the provider even issued a press release titled ‘Bell to deliver online advertising relevant to customer while protecting their data,’ as if their PR speak could somehow soften the blow. The release begins by describing how the program is set to protect the data of its users while incorrectly stating that no customer is required to participate in the program, making it seem as if they have a choice. “This new program puts Bell in a position to compete with world players like Google, Facebook and others in focused online information delivery,” said Wade Oosterman, president of Bell Mobility and Residential Services in the release. “Offered first to our mobile customers, Bell
looks forward to expanding the program to customers of Bell Internet and other services as we continue to seek new ways to improve the online experience for our customers.” What Oosterman fails to mention, or realize, is that Google and Facebook are offering their services for free, and collecting information and data for ad purposes is their main source of income. Users of those services can opt out at anytime by simply closing their accounts hassle free. With Bell, these are services that users are already paying a lot of money to use and are contractually obliged to continue using for years to come, barring any sort of change in terms such as this. But that’s where things can get interesting. While those under contract with Bell Canada may be unable to opt out of having their data usage tracked and stored, there is a suggestion among outraged Bell customers to cancel their contracts with the carrier using the argument that this is a clear change of terms and services. While cancelling a mobile contract is generally an experience as pleasant as receiving a root canal, many are claiming this is a black-and-white case of a change in terms and services, allowing users to cancel their plans without the penalties normally associated with breaking a contract. Bell’s announcement has also caught the eye of Canada’s privacy commissioner, which has announced plans to investigate the company’s data-mining plans. Hopefully, with pressure coming from users and government officials, Bell will decide to abandon their plans. Wouldn’t it be something if mobile carriers decided to offer something of actual value to their customers instead of threatening them with stuff like this? cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Panthers upended by Ravens Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow
The second-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers tasted defeat for the first time this season when they
were upended 21-10 by the fourthranked Terry Fox Ravens in class AAA football action in Coquitlam Friday. The tough Ravens defence managed to corral the Panthers running game, stifling Lord Tweedsmuir’s attack
throughout the contest. “It was a tough game and neither team really moved the ball well,” said Panthers coach Kurt Thornton. “Fox is a good team, but they took advantage see CRUSADERS › page 33
SURREY — Two more losses put a discouraging cap on a dismal month of October for the defending B.C. Hockey League champion Surrey Eagles last weekend. The Eagles were nipped 3-2 by the Chiefs in Chilliwack Saturday night before returning home Sunday where they were dumped 5-3 by a skeleton crew from West Kelowna. The latest losses left the Eagles with just two wins and a tie to show for 10 games in the month of October. “Both of those games were winnable,” said Eagles coach Peter Schaefer. “Chilliwack has had some struggles this year and West Kelowna is missing nine players with injuries and (World Junior A Challenge) tryouts right now. Consistency is a problem for us right now. We want to have an identity as a team and no matter who is in or out of the lineup, we should play the same kind of game. Even if we are missing some guys, we should not get outworked and right now, we’re just giving teams the game. “We had a work day Monday and we’re going to continue to work until we find a way out of this.” In Chilliwack Saturday, Surrey trailed 2-0 in the second period before pulling even on goals by Joseph Drapluk and Brett Mulcahy. The comeback was derailed in the third period when the Eagles surrendered a short-handed goal to fall 3-2 to the Chiefs. Back at South Surrey Arena Sunday, the Eagles coughed up two points to a short-staffed West Kelowna team playing its third road game in as many nights. Surrey held a 3-2 lead after two periods only to have the Warriors strike for three unanswered goals in the final frame to pull out the win. Mulcahy, Kale Bennett and Austin Ferguson provided the goals for Surrey.

High school football
Crusaders cruise past Spectrum on Island ‹ from page 31 of some short fields. In the end we had more rushing yards than them, or pretty close.” In the second half we had four three-andouts in a row and that definitely didn’t help us. When you can’t move the ball and keep giving them short fields, it’s tough to beat a team like Fox.” Lord Tweedsmuir led 10-7 at the half thanks to a Jamel Lyles touchdown and a Connor McKay field goal. The Panthers had a chance to pad their lead moments before halftime, but McKay’s pass to the end zone came up empty, leading to a missed field goal on the next play. The second half was all Terry Fox as the Panthers offence sputtered throughout the final two quarters. Tweedsmuir’s offensive problems were compounded by a botched punt from their own end zone travelled just 15 yards, setting up another Ravens touchdown. Lyles finished with 18 carries for 88 yards and one TD, by far his lowest rushing numbers of the season. On defence, linebacker Jairo Salazar, defensive back Brendan Woods and
defensive lineman Austin Thornton all collected eight tackles for the Panthers. Tweedsmuir is back in action Friday when they host Centennial at 3 p.m. A win will clinch second place in the eastern conference standings and assure the Panthers of a first round playoff bye. Meanwhile in class AA football action, the Holy Cross Crusaders kept their playoff hopes alive with a convincing 50-6 romp over Spectrum in Victoria Friday. Jonathon Kongbo made an impact on both sides of the ball for the Crusaders, rushing 75 yards for one touchdown on offence and then returning an interception for another major while playing defence. The Crusaders will face a much tougher test this weekend when they host crosstown rival Frank Hurt Hornets in a game to determine second place in the class AA southern conference. Game time is 1:30 p.m. Elsewhere, the Seaquam Seahawks were grounded last Friday thanks to a baggage snafu with B.C. Ferries that left the Birds on Vancouver Island without equipment. Their game with Nanaimo District was cancelled as a result.

The proposed twinning of the existing pipeline, in operation since 1953, offers a wide range of bene¿ts including new jobs, procurement opportunities and other positive spinoffs for BC and Alberta communities – during the twoyear construction phase and long-term operations.
Media Sponsor:
The Trans Mountain team is committed to creating local economic opportunities along the construction right-of-way.

Prep for winter now
Winter weather is just around the corner, and drivers need to be prepared for snowy and icy conditions. Motorists are required to have winter tires or carry suitable chains from Oct. 1 to April 30 while travelling on highways designated with winter travel signs. The best way to prepare is to equip your vehicle with good winter tires, identified with a mountain snowflake symbol that appears on the tire sidewalls. While winter tires are not mandatory provincewide in B.C., there are many routes that regularly experience severe winter conditions. On these routes, winter tires or chains are mandatory and signs are posted to warn drivers. A map of the designated highways where motorists must have winter tires or chains can be found at: www.th.gov. bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/ winter_chains.html. When planning a trip, drivers can check webcams to find out about the weather and road conditions for their route at www. drivebc.ca.
