Car show and charity event

Sun shines on Langley Good Times Cruise-in Troy Landreville

Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance

LANGLEY — There’s something about the Langley Good Times Cruise-in that brings out the best in Mother Nature. The 17th edition of Western Canada’s best attended charity event was held under a dome of blue sky. The sun warmed the annual celebration of classic cars, trucks, souped-up motorcycles and hot rods to above-normal values for this time of the year. Along with tens of thousands of visitors who filled streets that were closed to traffic, there was a sensory explosion of music, food and motorized entries of all shapes and sizes. All proceeds from Cruise-in go back into the community, benefiting the show and shine’s charities including the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, Langley Community Support Groups, Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association, PuCKS, Langley Boys & Girls Club, Douglas Park Elementary Association and Legacy Water Search and Recovery Society. Meanwhile, a good number of owners didn’t have to travel very far to show off their prized possessions. Al Tecklenborg lounged in a lawn chair near his 1913 Ford Model T at the Concours d’Elegance at Douglas Park. Tecklenborg said he acquired the Model T from former Langley City Mayor, the late Reg Easingwood, “way back when,” around 1970. A five passenger, four cylinder, 20 horsepower car, a Model T Touring Car retailed for $600 and included an extension top, top cover, automatic brass windshield, speedometer, two six-inch gas lamps, generator, three oil lamps, horn, tools, and jack. His Model T “runs good,” said Tecklenborg, who drove it to the Cruise-in. “We did a frame-up, I guess you would call it, took it all apart, cleaned it up, painted it,” he said. Further north, along the one-way portion of Fraser Highway was where you could find Al Underhill’s 1955 Chevy Bel Air. The Bel Air has come a long way in many respects; Underhill bought it from its previous owner from Boston, Mass., about two years back. He found the car on a “racing junk website,” Underhill said. Since acquiring the Bel Air, Underhill has given it a complete overhaul, including new paint, motor, transmission, rear end, suspension and frame. This marks the second straight year Underhill has shown the car at Cruise-in. He said he had “lots of thumbs up” from passers-by on Saturday.

Knights bring junior hockey back to Preston arena Troy Landreville

Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance

LANGLEY — The coach’s room, tucked in a corridor behind the north stands of the George Preston Recreation Centre, was dark, save for an orange glow emanating from a table lamp. Adorned in track pants and a T-shirt, Langley Knights owner, head coach and general manager John Craighead leaned back on his chair, speaking about bringing junior hockey back to the Brookswood barn for the first time in five years. It’s an ambitious venture, to be sure. This is the first ever Junior B team to call the 41year-old GPRC home. “There is absolutely no question the buzz is going to be great when people hear and see what we’ve done here,” Craighead said. The building is steeped in hockey history. A few incarnations of B.C. Hockey League Langley squads have gone to battle on the GPRC ice surface, including the Junior A Lords, Eagles, Thunder (before changing their name to the Hornets) and finally, Chiefs, who, after moving to the Langley Events Centre, relocated to Chilliwack in 2011.

John Craighead, a retired pro hockey player who is now the owner, general manager and head coach of the Langley Knights Junior B team, stood in the Knights’ dressing room at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood. The Knights begin their inaugural season at home against the Mission City Outlaws on Thursday, Sept. 11. Opening faceoff at the GPRC is 7:30 p.m. (Photo: TROY LANDREVILLE) Craighead is confident fans will come to the GPRC to watch the Junior B Knights, and as added incentive, all players registered with

Langley Minor Hockey Association will be admitted free to every home game. Another promotion has all fans admitted

free to the Knights’ Pacific Junior Hockey League home opener on Thursday, Sept. 11, when they host the Mission City Outlaws. As well, the first 200 fans through the door will receive a free Knights program. And yet another added bonus this season: SKY Helicopters is giving away free flights at every home game. “This place has been dormant for five years without a junior team,” Craighead said. “And the buzz in the building along with the staff from the Township and the managing company, Rec Ex… they’re really excited.” GPRC general manager Norm Kassis has “bent over backwards for us and welcomed us with open arms,” Craighead said. Langley Township administrator Mark Bakken was also a big reason why the Knights moved to Brookswood from North Delta, he added. Coaching comes naturally to Craighead. He guided the PJHL’s North Delta Devils for the past two years, prior to before their move to Brookswood. And he has two sons, Darien and Tristan, both forwards he’s coached since they were toddlers. see › page B3

Owner/GM/coach Craighead has sons in the hockey mix players graduate to the next level of hockey. “Obviously we understand that we have 49 cards to use. We didn’t use all 49 last year, but we went through high 30s, and I do believe we may even have hit 40,” Craighead said. “We want to get them called up (to Junior A).” Jockeying for fans with the other local Junior B team, the defending PJHL champion Aldergrove Kodiaks,

shouldn’t be an issue, considering Aldergrove is a half-hour drive from Langley on a day when there’s light traffic. The Knights switched conferences with Port Moody this season, meaning they’ve shifted from the Tom Shaw to the Harold Brittain to join Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Ridge Meadows, and Mission City. Aldergrove and Langley

have a natural rivalry, in Craighead’s opinion. The Knights’ roster includes Tristan Craighead, Alex Kalau, Donavan Shambeau, Dylan MCann, Levi De Waal, Nicolas Bizzutto, Oliver Alcock, Colin Catchpole, Jackson Surbey, Carson Rose, Jayden Gill, Jordan Gracie, Mitchell Biermann, Blake Gorill, Connor Petry, Isaiah Piers, Jake Gusche, Mackenzie

Hollis, Hayden Smyr, Jake Fricks, and goaltenders Nickolas Trenciansky and Cole Forbes. The Knights are desperately seeking volunteers, in every capacity related to the hockey club. To help out, call the team’s volunteer co-ordinator Leanne Hildson at 604-3076367. Visit the team online at LangleyKnights.ca.

Darien is heading into his sophomore year with the BCHL’s Langley Rivermen; Tristan will suit up for the Knights for a third season after junior A tryouts in Lloydminster, Alta., and in Salmon Arm. Craighead had the tough task of sorting through 110 players at the Knights’ prospect camp, and whittling them down to 57 for the team’s main camp. From those 57, he formed a tentative roster and an affiliated roster. “We had an amazing turnout,” Craighead said. “There’s been a lot of hype on the new junior team coming here. We’re really not allowed to affiliate with any BCHL teams, so we can’t really say we’re affiliated with the local Rivermen.” That said, Craighead noted that through the “hockey relationship” he has with the Henderson family – including Rivermen owner Roy Henderson and his son Bobby, who is the head coach of the BCHL team – he has been able to give players on the outside looking in a shot at playing junior this season. “I attended their camp, and ended up picking up four U.S. players out of their program that were just falling a little bit short, and were heading back to the States,” Craighead said. “I asked them if they wanted to come down and see the opportunity that I can provide for them, and they’re going to stay.” Craighead is also excited about having on board a pair of 1998-born forwards from Surrey, Nicolas Bizzutto and Oliver Alcock, both of whom he believes have the potential to make an impact. Both played midget-rep hockey last season. “I believe they are diamonds in the rough,” Craighead said. Going into their first season in Brookswood, the Knights will be a hardworking, aggressive team, their bench boss said. On a personal level, Craighead literally battled his way to the pro ranks, suiting up in more than

600 games over a 13-year career that saw him play for 16 teams spanning eight leagues and four countries. He saw some exhibition action in 2002 with the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks before playing a full season for the Canucks’ AHL affiliate at the time, the Manitoba Moose. Six years earlier, he enjoyed a fivegame regular season stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs. “I was more of a physical type, working type player that created opportunities through fitness and a little bit more of a violent game, but this (PJHL) league has really changed,” Craighead said. “I played in this league 27 years ago when they called it ‘Jungle B’, where you could have up to three fights a game and there was no fight limit on the season.” The league has since evolved. Players can only drop the gloves three times a year; after that, suspensions are doled out. After a fourth fight, the league’s board of governors reviews the players, and after scrap No. 5, a player is in jeopardy of being banned from the PJHL. But toughness is more than about bare-knuckle fighting, Craighead stressed: “I’m not looking for someone to come out and fight for us, I’m looking for more of a team toughness, where guys will stand up for each other. Whether they drop the gloves or not, that’s entirely up to them. If they want to represent themselves and stick up for themselves like that, in the heat of the moment, sometimes those things happen, that’s why they allow fighting, but we definitely don’t promote it.” He added, “I do have a little bit of muscle in my lineup, there’s no question about that, but our team game is going to be more of a two-way skilled team than a Broad Street Bullies type of organization.” The team’s objective is modest, yet simple. “In the inaugural year of the Langley Knights, our goal is to make the playoffs,” Craighead said. And while team goals are key, a top priority for Craighead is to help his

Digital literacy program helps senior ‘do things I never even knew existed’ Report released on Literacy Day shows major spike in digital consumption by library card holders

Volunteers needed for adult literacy program

Surrey, Stromberg said, “Every time you turn around, the government, businesses, accessing community services are more and more happening online.” The aim of the report and the new programs is to get Surrey Libraries card holders up to speed with communication in the digital age. “If you don’t have Internet access or the tools that you need or if you don’t have the knowledge of how to use those tools, you are handicapped in so many ways to get around your community, to interact with government services, to find out when the bus is coming next, to get a job,” Stromberg said. Currently, there are 188,691 active Surrey Libraries cardholders, with over 175,000 e-book and e-magazine checkouts in the past year. There are nine Surrey Libraries branches across the city.

SURREY — With International Literacy Day having just passed on Monday, Sept. 8 and Surrey Libraries’ campaign to promote digital literacy, there are still some adults and seniors who just need the basics. That’s why READ Surrey/White Rock is looking for volunteer adult literacy tutors to help with the process. “Literacy is a significant yet largely hidden issue for so many adult learners,” Shanti Ang, READ Surrey/White Rock literacy coordinator, told the Now in an email. “Getting a good cohort of volunteer tutors trained up will help many learners in the coming months.” A training program orientation session is scheduled to happen at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 29 at the City Centre Library for interested participants. Minimum qualifications for would-be tutors include having to be at least 19 years old and possessing a high school graduation or equivalent, along with excellent written and oral English skills and competency in reading, writing and math. Tutors will help adults develop reading, writing and math skills, and a free 15-hour tutor training will take place in October. “The info session is free but space is limited so anyone interested should contact me to reserve a seat,” Ang said. To register for the orientation session, call Ang at 778-255-5508 or readswrs@gmail.com.

CITY CENTRE — Years ago, tackling literacy issues had much to do with picking up a book and learning to make sense of the words on the page. In the age where social media and digital text are the primary ways of getting information, it’s more pertinent than ever to be digitally literate – that is, learn how to use a computer and the internet. On International Literacy Day (Monday, Sept. 8), Surrey Libraries released a report that outlined a major spike in digital consumption by library card holders in the past year, including more than 175,500 e-book checkouts, 28,000 catalogue searches from the Surrey Libraries app and more than 17,000 “freegal” music downloads. The report also outlined new digital literacy programs that members of the library can make use of for free. Programs include digital literacy classes and a new “Curiosity Corner”, a space in the Newton branch where six iPads loaded with educational apps are set up to encourage learning for youngsters and parents. One such beneficiary of last year’s digital literacy program was Guildford resident Jeannie Peltz, a senior citizen who took advantage of her Surrey Library branch’s basic computer skills program. “Here’s someone who’s 66 years old,

We’ve never done that before,” said Linda Stromberg, chair of the board for Surrey Libraries. Underlining why digital literacy is so important, especially to a large city like

SURREY — For the past six years, Community Safety Officers Josh Waltman and Simon Wong have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Last Thursday (Sept. 4), the officers came to Sophie’s Place, a child-protection facility at The Centre for Child Development in Surrey, looking more like a pair of Saint Nicks than police officers. The pair co-ordinated donations within the RCMP for this year’s early Christmas toy donation, raising approximately $500 between RCMP officers and volunteers. Matt Purdy, owner of Toy Traders in Langley, has been part of the drive since it began. This year, he donated more than $850 worth of toys along with $200 in toy trader bucks. Waltman said that it was his commanding officer that got him involved with community work. “Six years ago, myself and my partner Simon (Wong) started. We had a supervisor at the time that really showed us that we

The supervisor connected them with Purdy and the early Christmas toy drive was born. Waltman said that this year’s recipient was a no-brainer. “With the recent partnership between the RCMP and Sophie’s Place at The Centre for Child Development, we thought it was the perfect fit for this year,” he said.

Destroyed piano replaced Kristi Alexandra

NEWTON — Surrey residents were elated when Pianos on the Streets, an initiative to see outdoor pianos as a staple in some community spots over the summer, made its arrival to Surrey. Unfortunately, the program took a turn for the worse when an overnight vandalism of one of the instruments resulted in irreparable damage. The location for the outdoor piano was the Grove, adjacent to Newton Recreation Centre, where a community group had been upkeeping the piano. Instead of taking away the piano and leaving the site bare, Sean Pacey of Pacey’s Pianos, who donated the keys to the city’s spot, has decided to replace it with a

This was something the community really wanted and we decided we could not end it on this note,” Pacey said in a release. David Dalley, a member of the Friends of the Grove community group that was looking after the piano, said “having the piano in The

Grove has given residents of Newton a chance to demonstrate (their) gentle persistence.” “We have creative minds, gentle hearts and helping hands and we are confident that, in time, these are the tools that will heal our community,” Dalley said in the release. “The piano in The Grove is a place where we can gather, support each other and do the work that needs to be done. It is great to have the piano back!” The Pianos on the Streets program also encouraged players to compete in a video contest that would yield a $400 cash prize if you recorded yourself playing one of the pianos and uploaded a video to Supportpiano.com. The Pianos on the Streets program will be hosting closing ceremonies for its pianos at a later date.

ALLSTARS:

Surrey’s long history of pro wrestling STORY BY CHRISTOPHER POON

or generations, the squared circle has been the centre of one of the most popular spectacles to draw crowds and audiences to their TVs and out to live events: professional wrestling. With slogans like Hulkamania and Austin 3:16 having dominated popular culture during their heyday (and are still recognized today), professional wrestling has played a large part in entertaining the masses over countless generations. Depending on who you ask, it’s a sport to some, entertainment to others and in the past decade and a bit, it has been labeled as “sports entertainment” by the biggest promoter in the industry, World Wrestling Entertainment. But while eager viewers can now tune in a couple days a week on TV to catch their favourite wrestlers from all across the globe, that’s actually a recent advent in the long-running industry. And closer to home, here in Surrey, professional wrestling has been a staple of athletic entertainment for more than 40 years. Back before the days of the WWE (formerly the WWF), professional wrestling in North America was divided up into territories. Each territory was run by a local promotion, most of which were united under the banner of the National Wrestling Alliance. Locally, the Vancouver – and by extension, Surrey – region was primarily catered to by the All-Star Wrestling organization, which began in the late 1960s and was run by local promoter Al Tomko. Prior to that, Big Time Wrestling and The Vancouver Wrestling Club were also big promotions in Vancouver. At the time, All-Star Wrestling (ASW) was one of the top dogs in Canadian wrestling, with its weekly TV tapings being shown all across Canada through much of the 1970s and into the 1980s. During that period, Vancouver was still the primary city for much of the local wrestling history, and it wasn’t until 1983 that Stampede Wrestling, run by the famous Calgary-based Hart family, that ASW decided to expand into Surrey. ASW would still continue hosting at the PNE Garden Auditorium in Vancouver and elsewhere, but with the Harts beginning to muscle in on Vancouver, ASW was

In its earlier days, ECCW put on more extreme shows in Surrey such as this barbedwire event at Bridgeview Hall in 2009. (File photo: JACOB ZINN) forced to extend its reach. Later, Tomko moved its operating into Surrey completely and after a few years operating out of Cloverdale, while still filming their weekly shows in the Burnaby studios of BCTV (now Global BC), he was forced to close down the promotion when the ratings simply weren’t there. “At the very end, they weren’t even in Vancouver anymore, it was just Cloverdale,” said Gorgeous Michelle Starr, a longtime fixture in the local wrestling scene and owner of the current iteration of All-Star Wrestling. “Every Saturday we were at the fairgrounds so I guess the crowds weren’t justifying them being able to run the Garden anymore so they moved to Surrey.”

or Gorgeous Michelle Starr (real name Mark Vellios), he made his Canadian debut at All-Star Wrestling in 1988 and wrestled for the promotion until it closed down in 1989. Hailing from California, Starr’s first foray into professional wrestling was actually as a member of the WWF’s ring crew for the west coast. Not satisfied

with being on the other side of the production, Starr decided to try his hand at performing within the squared circle on local independent shows. The rest is history. Looking back at the time, Starr said the entire industry was in transition, as the WWF began growing into an entity that the pro-wrestling world had never seen before. “Wrestling was changing, WWF was swallowing up all the small companies so it was hard to be successful and make a living out of it,” he said. “One by one, each promotion went down. Stampede in Calgary, Oregon had Big Time Wrestling and they all went down and All-Star here.” Almost immediately after ASW’s demise, a new league called Pacific Coast Championship Wrestling (PCCW) was founded and made use of much of the talent from All-Star Wrestling, including Starr. Rather than try to re-establish in Vancouver, PCCW remained based out of Cloverdale. In Vance Nevada’s Wrestling in the

Canadian West, PCCW co-founder Rocky Dellaserra said he and partner Fred Roselli both wanted to concentrate on the area they were comfortable with. “We were both working as door men in the Newton Inn (in Surrey) and we started talking about ideas,” said Dellaserra in the book. “We decided to focus on Cloverdale and try to build it up.” Starr said PCCW tried to make it in the wake of the void left by ASW, but without having the TV deal that ASW did, things soon proved more difficult than originally expected. “They tried to run a lot of towns and tried to do Cloverdale weekly but didn’t have television, so it was virtually impossible to create a regular following,” explained Starr. “They eventually split into two and both shut down and then I opened up West Coast Championship Wrestling in 1991.” Sticking to Surrey, Starr initially ran WCCW out of Bridgeview Hall before moving on to Cloverdale’s Alice MacKay building, at the Cloverdale fairgrounds. In Nevada’s book, he writes of the site, “…the wrestling industry recognized the venue as the mecca of British Columbia for several years.” Starr ran WCCW until 1995 and the very next year, helped co-found Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling in 1996. Now known as Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW), the organization began as a Canadian take on popular U.S. organization Extreme Championship Wrestling, which was known for its hardcore and extreme matches. During said matches, it was not uncommon to see weapons utilized as well as many stunts involving tables, ladders and chairs. On occasion, barbed wire was even brought into the mix. “It was more blood and guts stuff,” said Starr of the original ECCW vision. At first, ECCW was based out of New Westminster as Cloverdale’s Alice MacKay building was being run by promoter Tim Flowers and his league, International Championship Wrestling (ICW), which had started up in the meantime. see › page 9

Both promotions began putting on shows around the region and while ECCW would come into Surrey to put on shows, it wouldn’t be at the Alice MacKay venue. Instead ECCW would play to Surrey crowds in Bridgeview Hall or at the North Surrey Recreation Centre, while Flowers and ICW did their thing in Cloverdale. At the start of the new millennium, a new wrestler going by the name Scotty Mac (real name Scott Schnurr) arrived on the scene who, like Starr, would become one of the more well-known names in the local wrestling scene. Having grown up in Richmond, Mac had a love for the sport at an early age and decided to go to Edmonton to train for a career in the industry. After learning the tricks of the trade, he made his way back home, where he joined up with Starr at ECCW. “So I saw both shows (ECCW and ICW) and there were things I liked about both and talked to Tim about training, but he didn’t seem that impressed by me,” recalled Mac with a laugh, noting that him and Flowers are now friends. “But when I went to Michelle Starr, he seemed interested. They saw a young, energetic guy already in good shape, had bleach blonde hair and looked like I was on my way. So I started training with him.” After a few months of training with Starr and ECCW, Mac made his debut at Bridgeview Hall in December 2000. While ECCW hadn’t run Bridgeview Hall as a regular venue prior to that show, Mac said the site became their monthly spot for the next 12 years after that. “So for those 12 years Surrey had wrestling every month at Bridgeview hall and eventually ICW stopped running,” recalled Mac. At this point, Starr had also decided to sell his share in ECCW and walk away from the business altogether in 2006. Mac himself later became co-owner of the promotion, which he still is today. But like so many who hope to hang up the boots in the business, Starr found himself drawn back to it just months later. “I took a year off and then opened up All-Star Wrestling,” recalled Starr. Using the name familiar to so many, Starr said he initially revived the promotion with the intent to do one-off shows and fundraising events. However, just like his walking away from the business, that idea was also short-lived. “Then it got more serious, more competitive and eventually we got back into Cloverdale and been going strong ever since,” he said. For Starr, he’s walked away from the business several times at this point, but there always seem to be reasons to keep coming back. “It just has a tractor beam on you, it’s hard to walk away from the spot light, I think about it all the time,” he said. “Sometimes I say if a show doesn’t do well, I’m going walk away but I still end up doing it.”

Surrey’s had a loyal audience because that’s where it’s been for so long. Fans, since they were kids, grew up watching these shows. It’s got a big enough population that it can attract enough people once or twice a month, whereas if you go to other places you can only attract enough people once every three months.

Surrey’s Mark Vellios (a.k.a. Gorgeous Michelle Starr) causes pain for a competitor during a wrestling-school session in Newton in 2012. (File photo: JACOB ZINN) Asked what keeps him — and by extension, the fans — coming back, Starr said it was simply the desire to do and see something spectacular. “It’s the entertainment, it’s like a sportsentertainment soap opera and people just get involved in it,” he said. “When fans come to our shows they kind of leave behind that it’s not real and just get drawn into it. They cheer and boo can just leave reality as well for a few hours.”

eing based in Surrey, Starr said local fans have been the best because there’s such a history attached to wrestling in the city. “Surrey’s had a loyal audience because that’s where it’s been for so long. Fans, since they were kids, grew up watching these shows,” he said. “It’s got a big enough population that it can attract enough people once or twice a month, whereas if you go to other places you can only attract enough people once every three months.” All-Star Wrestling still runs regularly in Surrey, putting shows on ever few months at Cloverdale’s Alice McKay Building. With their next scheduled for the end of

September. As for ECCW, they were forced to move out or Bridgeview Hall once the City of Surrey bought the venue in 2012 and have been running their regular shows in Kitsilano ever since. However, in the last year or so, ECCW have been making their way back into Surrey, hosting two shows a year in Cloverdale. It’s something that doesn’t sit well with Starr, who said he doesn’t care if ECCW wanted to put on shows in Surrey, but using the same venue is what he’s disputing. “We’re not happy about it for sure, there’s always been an unwritten rule where you don’t run each other’s building and they started running our building,” said Starr. Referring to back-to-back shows held in April, where ASW ran one weekend and ECCW the next, Starr said neither would be benefitting from the situation if ECCW continues to use the same venue. “It actually hurts both companies,” he explained. “We outdrew them but both crowds were down, smaller than they should have been because wrestling fans are on a limited income, some fans can’t afford to go to both so people are going to pick.”

For his part, Mac said he approached Starr about a deal where ECCW would promote ASW during their Cloverdale shows, which ASW declined. At the same time, Mac said he wasn’t going to wait for Starr’s blessing if it meant potentially losing out on revenue. “Very consistently for years and years since 2008, we’ve drawn very well in Surrey for a fans bring the weapons in a steel-cage match and I think that he thought declining would mean we would go away and wrestles somewhere else,” explained Mac. “So after he declined, I’m not going to sacrifice my business and potential draw to find another place in Surrey. I’m not going to go to a smaller venue that can’t hold what we’re used to getting 400 to 500 fans at — I don’t like limiting ourselves like that. Especially with an event that’s a proven draw.”

nd that’s where Surrey’s wrestling scene currently stands. With AllStar Wreslting running regular shows in Cloverdale’s Alice McKay Building, and ECCW slowly making their way back into Surrey. Currently the region is served by both ECCW and ASW, with ECCW slowly making their way back into Surrey. And for Starr, who’s seen it all, he said Surrey’s scene is doing better today than it has been in a long time. “The crowds in Surrey are bigger than they’ve been in years,” he said. “They’re bigger now than they’ve been in TV days sometimes and people are still loving it.” All-Star Wrestling’s next Surrey show is on Sept. 26 at the Alice McKay Building in Cloverdale and features guest midget wrestler, Short Sleeve Sampson. Tickets start at $12 and are available at allstarwrestling.com. ECCW’s next Surrey show is Oct. 18 at the Agriplex at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds and features guest wrestlers Val Venis and the Godfather.

Our view

We will hold all candidates’ toes to the fire, including editor on leave Beau Simpson had no input into this editorial. And that’s church, yo. Seriously, we here at the Now find ourselves in an unusual, yet not unprecedented position of covering a civic election campaign where one of our own has absented himself on leave for a shot at a seat on Surrey city council. While Beau Simpson, the managing editor of this newspaper since 2008, will necessarily spend the next six weeks trying to sell and defend his Safe Surrey Coalition’s campaign platform, we here at the Now will necessarily scrutinize his campaign as we would that of any other politician. It’s an important underpinning of all thriving democracies that any citizen who feels compelled to run for public office be afforded the opportunity to do so. Typically, they do so knowing that they will be placed under the microscope while at the same time be expected to work miracles for people who don’t believe in them. So here we are, in 2014, set to choose our civic leaders for the next four years. Candidates are out the gate, and the race has begun. Here at the Now, we endorse no political candidate or platform – only your right to make your best-informed decision when you cast your vote on Nov. 15. After Simpson’s candidacy was made public on Tuesday, he told this newspaper, “I have every confidence and trust in the Now news team. They’re going to cover this election and treat me the same as they’re going to treat any other candidate. I have complete trust and faith in that.” You, too, can count on that. The Now

Your view

I’m frustrated by the BCTF, and here’s why The Editor, As a member of the British Columbia populace, a parent and a taxpayer, I’m very frustrated at the BCTF. They keep saying this strike is about the children. That’s what their members on the picket lines and their signs say. However, facts speak to the opposite of this. Let’s start with the cancelling of summer classes. There was no reason to cancel summer classes. The BCTF didn’t do anything over the summer to try and negotiate. All they did was ramp up the rhetoric and hurt students who need help the most. Second, this binding arbitration mess. The teachers are willing to go back to work if the government will accept binding arbitration on wages and benefits.

I agree things need to be worked on regarding wages and composition. But let us be adults and move forward. Note they say that classroom size and composition will be left to the courts. Yet, didn’t they tell us at the beginning of this strike that the strike’s purpose was to address class size and composition? This just proves the disingenuity of the teachers. Lastly, the teachers are still working to get compensated for the 2002 mess with the removal of classroom composition language from their contract. All of the students affected by that are now out of the system. Fighting for those last 12 years of retroactive payment isn’t going to help those students one bit. I agree things need to be worked on

regarding wages and composition. But let us be adults and move forward. Let us get out of the past and start working on the future. Forty years of fighting and the BCTF is still the only union regularly complaining they have been mistreated. My one hint to the teachers: try to negotiate incremental funding increases for class sizes (by no more than, say, $25 million a year for the duration of the contract) and drop the court case. I guarantee the strike would be over tomorrow and in a year or two, everyone will be in a much better mood. Mark Johnson, New Westminster

DEBATE Column

Leave phone alone when driving, or sign this pledge MyView Heather Colpitts Langley Advance

’ve had a burial plot with my name on it since I was 12 years old. That’s thanks to the number cancer did on my 13-year-old sister and the commonsense, down-to-earth, country folks who raised us figuring “we have to buy one plot, why not get the adjacent ones for when the rest of us go.” Dad finally left this realm in 2010. That’s thanks to decades of smoking and many years of drowning in his own lung mucus from emphysema. He never tried to sidestep the issues. He said he lit those cigarettes, and lived and died with the consequences. Those would be a decade of infirmity and him wishing each day for several years that he wouldn’t wake up each morning. His ashes are beside my sister, too, in a cemetery in Calgary. So I know where I’m going to end up, but not when. I don’t want any help getting there. Yes, I’m looking at you, motorist with the

cellphone/iPad/sushi platter/makeup brush. Only, you don’t notice because you’re too wrapped up texting, talking or otherwise doing other stuff that’s not driving. The fines and self-preservation don’t seem to be working. Distracted driving is now the second-leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., trailing behind speed and narrowly ahead of impaired driving. “Yeah, but that’s not me,” people will say. “I’m responsible when I use my devices behind the wheel. I can effectively do all that stuff.” The police are having a campaign to crack down on distracted driving. That’s the term for those who choose to believe they can do eight things at once and none are driving. Guess what, driving is a complex enough task without more stunts. What will happen when a driver thinks he or she has mastered the art of driving while being a digital divo or diva? (Urban dictionary time: divo – the male version of a diva.) Will people look to add fire breathing or knife swallowing? Multitasking is not as effective as people think, and we are not as good as it as we think.

I’m looking at you, motorist with the cellphone/iPad/sushi platter/makeup brush. Only you don’t notice because you’re too wrapped up texting, talking or otherwise doing other stuff that’s not driving. To combat distracted driving, some people are signing pledges not to use their devices. Nice, but it doesn’t really have enough oomph. Instead, we need to have a different kind of pledge, maybe one that covers consequences people might not think of. Something like this: “I pledge that, if someone hits me, when I am a pedestrian or while within a vehicle and while he/she is on a cell, using a device or doing something classed as distracted driving, they’d better kill me, because if I survive, I will spend the rest of my life

devoted to F-ing up (insert own choice of expletive here) him or her so badly that they wish they and automobiles and cellphones had never been born. “That effort will include tying up their keisters in legal knots for as long as possible, including but not exclusively referencing legal action taken on my behalf related to the Crown/police/courts, and by ICBC and/or other insurance carriers, banks, etc. with a vested interest not only in my person and my automobile but also my quality of life, employment, health, longevity, my mortgage/ rent and ability to go to the bathroom on my own. “I also pledge that once those processes are played out, I will pursue civil action against said dolt so that any hope of a stable income and stable life is lost in a morass of paperwork, court appearances and garnishments. Codicil: If there’s alcohol/ drugs involved on top of this, oooohh you don’t even want Heather Colpitts to know...” If we had oodles of people signing pledges like that, maybe we could stay more focused on the task of driving. Heather Colpitts is a reporter with Langley Advance, a Now sister newspaper.

The Editor, Re: “Jackson wants mayor’s chair again,” the Now, Sept. 9, 2014. I read the headline “Jackson wants mayor’s chair again” with interest. I have voted for Lois Jackson in every election since she was first elected mayor in 1999. Then I read her comment about Port Metro Vancouver’s controversial approval of coal shipments through North Delta. “I can’t say this is a terrible, bad

thing,” reporter Tom Zytaruk quoted her as saying. Coal shipments through a quiet residential neighbourhood not a bad thing? What planet is the mayor living on? Now I’m looking for someone else to vote for in the fall election. She is certainly out of touch with her constituents, and has definitely stayed past her best-before date. Richard Hoover, North Delta

Keep air clean for Terry Fox The Editor, With the fading summer days of 2014, the annual Terry Fox Run is approaching, this Sunday, Sept. 14. This event originated in Port Coquitlam and is echoed by many nations throughout the world – because in 1980 the cancer struck Terry Fox, who set out running the Marathon of Hope, raising money for cancer research. Terry would be pleased that, through his effort, many people worldwide recognized the need for intensive research on this dreadful disease. But would he be so pleased to know that numerous cancer-causing agents still remain in people’s daily lives, in their homes and neighbourhoods? These are the places people should feel safest! Workplaces and most public places are safer than people’s own neighbourhoods because they are free of secondhand smoke; neighbourhoods are not. Some municipalities have already curbed neighbourhood pollution by discouraging pesticides and banned the practice of outdoor debris burning. Sadly, the use of woodfueled fireplaces is not yet outlawed – and it should be! This would provide much cleaner air for people to breathe. Each neighbourhood should be free of contaminations. Cancer-enhancing molecules have to be eliminated from our daily lives, or Terry’s efforts to help stamp out cancer will be in vain. Brie Oishi, Port Coquitlam

Yes, some positive thoughts about the teachers’ strike The Editor, Something positive coming out of the teachers’ strike is that everyone is thinking and talking about our education system. Parents are looking at alternative ways to educate their children. Private schools have insane waiting lists. I’m sure that home-schooling is being looked at more seriously by many parents as well. Teachers must be looking at what other forms of employment there are besides teaching. Teachers must also be second guessing their union leadership. Why go on strike if your negotiating team takes two months off for summer holidays? There is no indication that negotiations are going anywhere. All we hear is that school will start again in October. What happens in October that will change anything? If the teachers are hoping to be legislated back to work with the package that the government has been offering from the start, why go on strike in the first place? Why not settle today and have school start tomorrow? The government is handing out money to parents. That kind of thinking can easily be tweaked into giving parents vouchers to educate their children, where they like and how they like. Forty dollars per day works out to $8,000 per year, per child. At this time, teachers are not allowed by their union to tutor children but as the strike drags on, that unity will break. What teacher

wouldn’t want to invite 10 children into their home for five hours per day and make $80,000 per year with way less headaches than they have to endure today? As this strike lasts longer, more and more people will begin thinking outside the box and leave the present public education system, parents and teachers alike. It boggles the mind that so many inventive ways to educate our children are not used today in our public system. Here’s hoping that the positive result of this strike is that our education system will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. John Bootsma, White Rock

I have lost confidence in government The Editor, I am a mother, wife, PAC member, union member, university graduate and taxpayer. I am unhappy with the conflict between the government and the BCTF. It is outrageous to believe teachers are incapable of understanding budget needs and need to try to live in the real world. To compare teaching to being a business person or an entrepreneur, or being responsible for staff, is like comparing apples to fruit. Teachers are the epitome of an entrepreneur, basing their whole teaching life on

a new product: the child in their untaught state and betting on their future. Teachers pay taxes, they work second jobs, their spouses work jobs, they operate in the financial world. They teach our children about finances, about the working world, about regulations and structure.

I am deeply unhappy with my government – my government, elected by the people of B.C., to act for the people of B.C. I am no longer comfortable with the belief that this BC Liberal government, headed by Christy Clark, is listening to the people who elected them. Our children are quite

literally our future. They will be the ones in politics, in our hospitals and police force, taking care of us when we can no longer care for ourselves. It behooves us to give them the best education, not only for their immediate futures (decent jobs as they grow into adulthood) but for our future as a province.

That this government is placing more importance on balancing the budget of “right now” than looking at the future budget shows a profound lack of forethought. I am no longer confident in my government. I would like them to resign. Sharleen Buist, Surrey

McCallum’s coalition unveils public safety platform in Surrey

South Surrey break-in suspect found dead Matt Law

Four candidates introduced, along with six-point platform that targets ‘ongoing crime wave’ in Surrey Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — Surrey mayoral candidate Doug McCallum revealed a $21 million six-point public safety platform Tuesday morning while introducing four city council running mates. Seeking office as the Safe Surrey Coalition, they are small business owner Rina Gill, community advocate Laurie Guerra, lawyer Justin Thind and journalist Beau Simpson. Simpson has taken a leave of absence from his job as editor of the Now to run for council. The six-point platform, heading into the Nov. 15 civic election, includes the introduction of a Mayor’s Integrated Public Safety Council to replace the police committee, establishing minimum thresholds for service levels in accordance with the RCMP contract accountability provisions, and doubling the number of police officers on patrol and speeding up the hiring of 95 new RCMP officers to 2015. The platform also calls for doubling the number of bylaw officers, investing $4 million per year over four years into a “crime prevention through social development community strategy (CPSD),” launching a public-awareness campaign and “encouraging involvement” with the RCMP public crime-prevention programs and Surrey Crime Prevention Society. The Safe Surrey Coalition’s press release says Surrey is “faced with an ongoing crime wave that is being met with inaction by the current Surrey mayor and council.” McCallum, who served as Surrey’s mayor

All told, McCallum said, the annual costs of the 95 new RCMP officers would be $15 million, the 24 new bylaw officers $2 million and the CPSD, $4 million to a total of $21 million. “Together, if we get our community working, with all of our city staff, and with the RCMP, and we work together, then we will drive crime from our community,”

THE MOST TRUSTED NAME In HEARING AIDS for over 75 Years!

McCallum said. He identified three sources to pay for his plan. Six million dollars, he said, would come in budget savings with no cuts to police or staff, but “shutting down” the Surrey Regional Economic Summit. Five million would come from taxation as new residents and businesses locate in Surrey and $10 million would come from “administrative savings” and liquidation of assets. The Surrey City Development Corporation, which McCallum said owes the city $70 million, would be eliminated. McCallum said that if elected his slate would “immediately” close down unlicensed drug rehabs in Surrey. “We need to shut those down.” He could not commit to not raising taxes, though – noting none of his coalition is privy to city hall’s financial state. “We will be developing a policy and I think the policy will be very clearly that we’re going to trim expenses and we’re going to certainly look at no further taxes.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — A suspect in a series of South Surrey break-ins was found dead inside an Abbotsford restaurant last month. The man, a 33-year-old Surrey resident, was found around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 16 stuck underneath a security gate inside a restaurant in the 31000-block of Peardonville Road. “He was trying to gain entry to the building and then somehow got hung up in this accordion-style gate to where the employee coming in in the morning found him unresponsive,” said Cpl. Walker with the Abbotsford RCMP. Surrey RCMP confirmed the man found in Abbotsford was the main suspect in break-ins at several businesses in South Surrey in early August. He was well known to police. Sheila’s Bistro Lounge, at 2181 160th Street in South Surrey, was one of the businesses broken into in early August. At the time, owner Rob Cox made a public plea to help identify the person involved in the theft and damage at his store. During the break-in, Cox’s cash box – worth about $225 – was taken, as was the $200 float inside. As well, his smashed front window cost around $500 to replace. Cox was frustrated that more was not being done to stop the thefts and said that each time this individual broke into a business, it was costing owners around $1,000. “They (RCMP) said this guy has hit over 100 different places, that’s $100,000 that they could have prevented by not just giving this guy a slap on the wrist in the first couple of times and actually jailing him,” he said. Cox learned that the suspect in his robbery had been found dead over the weekend.“I never wished any ill will on the gentleman, I just wanted him to know that he was doing the wrong thing,” Cox said. Since the August break-ins, Cox said, police have increased patrols in the area and he and other business owners have seen a drop in crime. matt@mattlaw.ca

SURREY — The City of Surrey reaveled on Tuesday two new tech initiatives designed to engage and inform the public. In early 2014, a study released in the United States showed that for the first time more people were using mobile devices to access the Internet than a personal computer. Capitalizing on that change, Surrey has released a new mobile-device app to connect residents with the city. “It’s very slick and it ties in to some of the other apps that we’ve already developed like

While Surrey has already launched several apps like Surrey Request, which allows users to quickly report things like graffiti or potholes, the new My Surrey App is designed to be a one-stop portal to all current and future apps, as well as news and information. Hayne calls it more of an “umbrella” for other apps than an app itself. Currently, users can access information on cycling routes, an event calendar and job opportunities, to name a few—as well as existing apps like Rethink Waste and Surrey Library.

Currently, anyone can access the data sets through a computer to view or download information on topics like crime statistics, city expenses, water testing and much more. Hayne said that by making this information easily accessible, it will help the public become more informed, but also save the city time and money by reducing the number of Freedom of Information requests that are made on a daily basis.

Anti-gang report says local violence declining Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — B.C.’s anti-gang police indicate in their 2014 community report that gang violence is on the decline. Kevin Hackett, Chief Officer of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), reports there has been a “significant decline in crime statistics related

May13 10 Saturday,sept July 12 saturday,

to gang violence over the last year.” Hackett said that’s a testament to the more than 400 officers in the CFSEU-BC. In the past year, he noted, charges have been brought against 97 suspects allegedly involved in organized crimes or gangs, related to some 270 crimes in nearly 30 B.C. communities. He noted one murder investigation, done jointly with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, resulted in eight guilty pleas from United Nations gang members

and associates “who were ruthlessly hunting members of the Bacon Brothers crime group.” The 2014 community report also contained some statistics. Between January 2006 and March 2014, of 160 victims of gang-related homicides, 74 were Caucasian, 34 South Asian, 33 Asian, 10 Middle Eastern, six were First Nations and three were Hispanic. Of them, 49 of the victims’ bodies were found inside a vehicle, 32 inside a residence, 24 outside or near a residence, 10 in or near a

WHITE ROCK — For more than 100 years, the railway track that runs the length of White Rock’s waterfront has been a simple fact of life. But the traffic has steadily increased in recent years, to the point where it’s become a constant source of anguish for residents. Having heard from countless residents impacted by train whistles, concerned about dangerous goods and the simple increase in train traffic and length, the city has said enough is enough. On Monday night, White Rock council voted to formally begin work on approaching the federal government to have the rail line, owned by Burlington Northern Sante Fe, relocated away from the waterfront. Citing the recent approval of the Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal expansion (which adds 640 train trips a year) as something of a tipping point, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin brought forth a motion to that would begin a formal appeal process through the Canadian government to have the tracks moved. “Up until a few years ago we effectively lived beside a quiet country road that’s become a four-lane highway,” said Baldwin. “With the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal to increase the number of trains, that four-lane highway is now a six-lane highway…so we have to do something.” That “something” will come in the form of devoting staff time and effort towards working on a proposal using the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act (RRCA). According to the act’s wording, it is “designed to facilitate the relocation of railway lines or the rerouting of railway traffic in urban areas in situations where a railway company and the relevant

government body cannot agree.” Baldwin said the city’s case was strong and, as part of the work, it would be necessary to partner with the Semiahmoo First Nation, the City of Surrey and the province to get the traction needed for a successful application. “This process will require an investment of staff resources and should have support before work begins,” he said. Coun. Grant Meyer, head of the city’s Rail Safety Task Force, said he was happy to support the motion, but noted that it was just the first step in what would likely be a lengthy process. “A lot of people that are going to say this is dream… you have to start somewhere,” he said, noting that the open house held last year with Surrey was the beginning of the idea. Meyer said this issue affects Surrey as much as White Rock. “Poor Crescent Beach there, those people are literally cut off. (If) it’s a medical emergency or a derailment, there’s a potential disaster waiting to happen.” Residents in attendance were overjoyed with the move. “How can I thank you enough for doing this?” said resident Susan Potts. “I’m looking forward to doing anything to assist council in this. There’s a lot of support in the community for this and I want to thank you.” Ken Jones, a former councillor and MLA said council was “showing leadership and this is always what we needed in this area,” and that he hoped “this isn’t just an idle promise – that it will be followed through.” Baldwin noted the process will continue in conjunction with the city’s current work with Transport Canada and BNSF to maintain safety along the tracks. “This journey begins with a single step and let us takes it now and not get ahead of it,” he said. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Third lawsuit over Port Mann ‘slush bombs’ NEW WESTMINSTER — A third lawsuit has been filed related to the slush bombs that fell on drivers crossing the Port Mann Bridge in the winter of 2012. According to a notice of civil claim filed in New Westminster Supreme Court in August, Teresa De Jesus Faria Macedo, a Surrey resident, is suing Transportation Investment Corp. (TI Corp.), the company that operates the Port Mann/Highway 1 project, and three other companies involved in the

construction of the bridge. Court documents state she was driving westbound on the bridge Dec. 19 and was injured when ice and snow plummeted on her windshield causing it to shatter. The impact caused snow, ice and glass to cover parts of the inside of the vehicle, resulting in injury. The suit claims Macedo sustained injuries as a result of the incident including headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, shock and trauma. The suit claims her injuries and losses

occurred due to the unsafe and hazardous design of the bridge. The three other companies named in the lawsuit are Kiewit/Flatiron General Partnership, Flatiron Constructors Canada and Peter Kiewit Infrastructure. None of the allegations have been proven in court and the other parties have yet to file a response. Macedo is seeking general and special damages and the recovery of health care costs.

SURREY — Often when you ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, you’ll get aspiring doctors, lawyers, firefighters and, every so often with the artistically-inclined dreamers, rock stars. For youth bands getting involved with the City of Surrey’s Band-Aid program, the aspirations toward professional musicianship have stayed alive and, through mentorship and collaboration, the kids are finding out how to make it a viable option. A bunch of young, local musicians are getting together to attend a day of workshops to make connections and learn how to further their careers on Saturday, Sept. 13 at Surrey Arts Centre. “We found out about Band-Aid through our teacher, Terry,” said Julia Jakubow, the teenage drummer from the rock trio Arium. Her bandmates are Kaitlyn Kelly, lead guitarist, and Musau Lwakila on lead vocals and back-up guitar. “I just really had a passion for music and I really wanted to stay in a band so my teacher, Terry, he went out looking for some people who also have a really big passion for music and he found Kaitlyn and Musau and we just became friends and we like making music together,” she said.

Spearheaded by Jessica Danyk, City of Surrey healthy communities’ youth and community engagement co-ordinator, Band-Aid focuses on collaboration rather than competition among peers. The free event on Sept. 13 is for musicians aged 13 to 21 and begins at 10:30 a.m. The day includes workshops on band management, home recording, stage presence and songwriting, all to be instructed by successful players in the music industry. Mentors for the day include local singersongwriter T. Nile, Brad Graham from Turtle and Blue Frog Studios, Daman and Fatima Beatty from Surrey 604, Terry Armitage from Canopy Productions, as well as bands Whitehorse and Speed Control. “We’re all just doing this stuff independently right now so it’s good to know a few things,” said Hayden Peeling, bassist of youth band Occasionally Dropped, who will be attending the event. Other youth music groups who attended a preliminary meeting for Band-Aid include DJ duo Deth Klown, fusion band Panic Picnic and alternative rock group, Northern Rain. Diverse in age range and musical styles, members of each band say they’re getting involved with the program for different reasons. Deth Klown echoed Hayden’s sentiment that

they’ve got a kick-start at music, but want to know if there are any other tips they could pick up. “We kind of know what we’re doing, but we want to just get the little tips because there could be something that we overlook completely,” noted Austin Neighbour, one-half of Deth Klown. Along with Neighbour, Carson Hoy completes the twosome. Both are Lord Tweedsmuir grads now attending Douglas College to study audio engineering. Dylan Welch of Panic Picnic is, more than anything, excited to learn from professionals. “To have mentors, I think is going to be really exciting,” said the 19-year-old Semiahmoo Secondary grad. He hopes to see his band’s songwriting improve and “to publish them.” Along with playing the Youth Fest main stage on Sept. 20 as part of Surrey’s youth celebration, Panic Picnic will be playing the Terry Fox Run in North Surrey on Sept. 14. One of the older bands participating in Band-Aid, Northern Rain, which is made up of Sam Hobeyn, Matthew Stockwell, Bryan Miguel and Matt Freisen, said they’re looking forward to lending a helping hand. “We’ve been one of the senior youth bands in Surrey for a while now,” said Freisen. “I guess we’ve kind of been through the ropes of everything and we’d love to help out the younger bands and think of events.” At the end of the BandAid event, all players can participate in a jam session; on Sept. 20, bands will play the Youth Fest main stage. “Instead of competing, the focus is on collaborating, developing relationships, learning together and cheering each other on,” read a release from Band-Aid. “When a band from Surrey ‘makes it,’ it elevates all Surrey bands.” To register for BandAid, call 604-501-5100, noting registration number 4373569.

Rhayne’s ‘Love to Sing’ classes inspire ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

“I love teaching singing,” says this professional performer, songwriter and recording artist. “I also incorporate in my method, the technique to prevent vocal injury derived from my former nurse’s training,” she adds. Last year I mentioned that she was teaching a group class at Surrey Arts Centre, and that class just took off with a huge enrollment. This beginning group is now at level two, and continuing to sing songs from many genres, including pop, classics and R&B. “It was gratifying to observe my students with increased joy, selfconfidence and vocal ability as they sang,” Rhayne confided after a performance at Fleetwood Days. “I was so pleased hearing and seeing what they had been taught being put into action.” Practice is a key to success in learning anything and, like any good teacher, Rhayne assigns “homework.” Practicing vocal techniques and warm-ups is proving not only to be a new hobby for many, but also a positive method of expression, stress reduction and social interaction. All good things to learn as you go through life.

You can join the new beginner groups. All you need is the desire and love for singing! “Love To Sing” classes ($60 fee for six sessions) start Sept. 17, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Surrey Arts Centre. Also, “Singing for All” is at Fleetwood Community Centre from 7 to 9 p.m., also starting on Sept. 17. These classes are offered through Surrey Parks and Recreation; call 604 501-5100 to register. Learning social skills is an important part of public education. It is essential to be able to get along with – and understand – our fellow human beings and the world we live in. Surrey Arts Centre is offering a new class for youth aged 13 to 18: “Social Skills through Drama.” Set 1 begins Sept. 17 and Set 2 begins Oct. 29. Each set runs six weeks on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at a cost of $150. Taught by theatre professionals, teens will be challenged with a curriculum designed to develop self-expression through voice, movement, improvisation, acting games and script work. see › page 26

4 CRESCENT BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE 2014 For two weeks organizers and entrants worried about rain but woke up event day to a blue sky. It didn’t sprinkle until afternoon. The largest turnout to date had 90 entries rolling onto the show field. Peter Boyle, from Pennsylvania, came the farthest, with an ‘28 Isotta Fraschini, ‘38 Steyr and ‘33 Rolls-Royce. The farthest Canadian entry came from the interior of B.C. and one from Nanaimo. There were many entrants from Washington State and the local Surrey area was well-represented. Pelling Collector Car Insurance, Porsche Canada, were primary sponsors and Porsche offered test-drives of their newest models. Our event was by donation, benefitting Alexandra Neighbourhood House. The event committee was made up of Colin Gurnsey (chair), Laurel Gurnsey (co-ordinator); Brad & Jan Pelling (sponsors/event founders); John Carlson (chief judge) and Koko Carlson (tabulator). Wonderful volunteers and many other sponsors lent their support. We give special thanks to the City of Surrey and the NOW. Our oldest entry was a 1913 Henderson B in the Motorcycle Class. Flying twin French flags in the European/British Class was a ’51 Citroen Traction Avant that was Charles De Gaulle’s staff car. Other classes and class winners can be found on our website: www.crescentbeach.com

GO! Minty on the arts

Drama class for teens who have social difficulties ‹ from page 23

All abilities are welcome. Improved social skills, while not the focus, is expected to be a happy crossover effect. Early registration is encouraged – at least one week prior is ideal. The instructors are exquisitely educated and vastly experienced. Don’t miss this opportunity. One of the contentious issues for our classroom teachers is classroom composition. No matter how talented and dedicated, it is a monumental task for any teacher to accommodate students with special needs. This drama class is designed for teenagers who have social difficulties with or without an accompanying diagnosis. This includes teenagers with highfunctioning autism, learning disabilities and social anxieties, such as extreme shyness or fear of talking in front of others. Although this is who the class is targeted for, it is not meant to exclude others. Teens who simply have an interest in taking a drama class will benefit fully from the class, and are welcome and encouraged to register. Call the arts centre, 604-501-5566. Faith Toronchuk is an instructor, writer,

director and producer. Her primary focus is Imagine That! Productions. She also has drama classes beginning in just over a week. “Stage Antics” is for 8- to 11-yearolds (class fee $150) and “dRAmaTiX” is Faith Toronchuk for 12- to 15-yearolds. Both of these courses run 10 weeks and cost $150. Class location is 5708 Glover Road, Langley. Visit the Imagine That! website for registration and lots more info, Imaginethatplace.com. Education, whether academic oriented or creative based, is essential to our complex and interwoven society. We learn from each other, share experiences and cultures. We are led by teachers. Don’t complain about the cost of music, dance or drama classes. The provincial government isn’t the only one that has to work within a budget. We all do. I respect that. But just think, if the cost of a dance class is $50 a month, I just have to say that learning to dance is priceless.

GO! Music

Bikers ride for Bandwagon this Saturday

Musician Chin Injeti at home in the Fleetwood area of Surrey. (Photo: GORD GOBLE)

I was just trying to find my own way, to see where I wanted to be in music and this kind of made sense. For Injeti, the idea of eclecticism seems to be not only a theme on this album, but a major theme in his life. The musician says he “more or less” lives between Surrey and Los Angeles, where he works with his partner DJ Khalil along with the several other major recording artists whose albums Injeti’s name has appeared on. He also grabs influence from his Indian roots, which he says, “is in everything I do… the way I internalize music is from that perspective.”

D TEE RAN S! GUA ESULT R

While “home” for Injeti may be split between several cities, at the end of the day he loves to relax in Surrey where he lives. “I live in Fleetwood, it’s a really beautiful neighbourhood. It has a wonderful community feeling so that’s my connection to it really,” he said. “Where I live is like Pleasantville – the lawns are perfect, the kids are out playing… it’s a good energy in that place.”

SURREY — It’s not uncommon to see Chin Injeti’s name on the back of an album. The Surrey-via-Toronto producer, who has helped out on Grammy Award-winning records, has worked with everyone from rapper Eminem to P!nk to Gwen Stefani to local radio heroes, The Boom Booms. But the artist who’s been recording since the mid-1990s with his former band Bass is Base is only now releasing his third solo album. “I was just trying to find my own way, to see where I wanted to be in music and this kind of made sense,” Injeti told the Now at a Vancouver recording studio where he is currently helping produce a Boom Booms’ album. “I came here and I was trying to find what I wanted to do next and one thing led to another and I just started helping people with their music and I thought, ‘You know what? I’ll have a go at it,’” he said. Injeti’s album, The Reverb, was released Tuesday (Sept. 9) from Sparks Music, a Toronto-based record label. The 40-minute album is, in a word, eclectic. From the triphoppy “Around the Outside” to the funkinfluenced “On the Run”, The Reverb is a sampling of different styles that create the mosaic that Injeti attributes to his many collaborators over the years. “This record, the fundamental difference is that since the last record, I’ve worked with a lot of artists and I’ve produced a lot of people and written with a lot of people so there’s a little bit of everybody in me,” Injeti said. It turns out that the album’s name also comes as a nod to the variety it presents. “There was a club when I was growing up in Toronto (called) The Reverb, (and it) used to play a lot of eclectic music out of different nights,” the popular producer said. “You’d have punk nights, industrial nights, hip hop nights … I just thought it would be a cool theme for a record.”

SURREY — When you hear that someone is “jumping on the bandwagon,” it’s rarely a good thing. For bikers who are joining in on Saturday’s (Sept. 13) Music Therapy Ride, which will start off at Coquitlam’s Hard Rock Casino and roll up to Whistler, jumping on the bandwagon is exactly what they want to do. One of the many projects funded by the annual ride are two “Bandwagons” – mobile recording studios designed for music therapists to use with their clients. One Surrey-based music therapist in particular has had great success with the Bandwagon, and a sneak peek of her Bandwagon project has gone live on her YouTube account. Sheila Lee of She.Lee. Music said that without the help of the Music Therapy Ride, which loaned She.Lee. Music the Bandwagon on a six-week residency, she and her clients wouldn’t have been able to have so much fun exploring and experimenting with the mobile recording unit. “I brought (it) to a high school in Surrey and inside there’s an iMac and a midi keyboard and cables and recording software — everything you need to just make a recording project, or to make music in a lot of different ways with clients,” Lee told the Now. To reserve a spot on the ride, go to Musictherapyride.org.

Changing how to care for concussions Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @KBBenning

SURREY — Concussions have been the hot-button issue of contact sports and it is believed that medical professionals weren’t handling them correctly in the past. Now, Complete Concussion Management (CCM) is attempting to bring concussion assessment and treatment to the forefront by creating a national network of clinics to address the head injuries. Dr. Cameron Marshall, president of CCM, said he started the network out of the demand for it. “People with concussion injuries generally have no place to go in terms of somewhere that can offer them rehab from practitioners that are well educated on concussions,” said Marshall. “It’s extremely hard for people to find. Most the time, they are left to do nothing at all.” Sidney Crosby has become the poster boy for concussion management after the Pittsburgh Penguins star was sidelined for more than a year after suffering two serious blows to the head over four days. “He’s the one who kind of opened everyone’s eyes in Canada and realized that even a superstar can be afflicted by this injury and lose a significant amount of playing time. Not only that, but there is potential for career-ending injuries,” Marshall said. CCM is trying to attract community sports associations to be involved with

One of the clinics, Back in Motion, has two locations in Surrey and is looking to change how to care for patients as they nurse themselves back to normal. Matt Peters, a manager and physiotherapist at the Newton office, says concussions are often mistreated. “Unfortunately, the (doctors) have to know so much. Ten, 15 years ago, concussions weren’t really something we paid attention to,” Peters said. “If you got your bell rung, you kind of just played through it. Now we’re starting to pay attention to it a bit more.” Peters said that there isn’t too much “concrete evidence” on concussions

at the moment because there isn’t technology available to measure how the human brain has recovered from the injury. Doctors were giving advice to patients based on how they were feeling and the symptoms they were suffering from. “There’s a lot of new literature that comes out each month that needs to be verified and looked at. One piece of research unfortunately doesn’t amount to change in practice. We need to keep building on the knowledge,” he said. Peters said one of the most effective ways to treat concussions is to get baseline testing done.

Concussions ‹ from page 37

The tests measure a number of things like balance and eye-tracking speed, which can change as a result of a concussion. “People are sceptical of doing a baseline test. They say, ‘Well I don’t do a baseline test for my arm strength before the season. What if I injure my shoulder?’ With those orthopaedic injuries (the shoulder injuries, the back injuries), they’re easier to measure how well someone is doing.

“We have a good grading system for how strong someone is. Brains are so variable between each person,” added Peters. Concussions occur when the two different types of matter in the brain – white and grey – mix after it takes a blow. The two matters have a different density, which causes a concussion. After suffering a concussion, the brain uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as energy. The ATP levels in the brain begin to drop due to the added usage and it is believed to take 15 to 30 days to get those levels back to regular levels.

Nissan Figaro BY BrenDan McaLeer

In the 1980s, Nissan had something of a problem. Japanese consumers of the ‘80s were flush with cash and looking for something with a bit more zip. This was especially true of younger buyers, who took one look at the efficient Nissan March, and promptly headed for the nearest Honda dealership. Nissan needed something interesting. The result was four of the weirdest cars the world has ever seen. In the 1960s, Japanese culture was as buttoned-down as was the America of the ‘50s. Conservatism was the order of the day, and anyone with a wild spark in their eyes tended to head for California. One such young man was Nakao Sakai, an art school graduate who had become fascinated by the underground world of Japanese tattooing. The subject was taboo in rigorous Japanese society, and there was also little place for it in mainstream American society. However, in the wild, free-spirited San Francisco of the 1960s, Sakai found his own California gold rush. He began printing t-shirts with his tattoo-based designs, and the public couldn’t get enough of them – at one point, he claims to have been making $300,000 a month. It didn’t last, of course, but you wonder if some of that California spirit seeped into Sakai’s consciousness to eventually inform the cars he would go on to design. Decades later, Sakai was working out of his own studio when he was approached by Nissan to develop a car. It was to be a concept, one of three shown at the 1987 Tokyo Motor Show. The first was called Prototype A, and it was designed by Nissan’s in-house department. The third was called Prototype B2, styled by an Italian group. Sakai’s car was called Prototype B1, and it was an instant hit. It was so popular, in fact, that Nissan elected to put it into production under the name Be-1. They arranged

for a subcontractor, the Aichi Machine Industry plant, to hand-assemble the bodies, and based the car on the humble March. They called the project, “Pike Factory.” The Be-1 was probably the first retro-styled car. Compact and cute, it had round headlights like an old British car, a cartoon-sized white speedometer, and colour-matched interior panelling. In many ways, it was almost exactly like the Mini Cooper that BMW would release in 2001. Power, to use the term in its loosest possible sense, came from a 987cc single-overhead-cam, eight-valve four-cylinder engine. It made 52hp, and came with either a five-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic. Happily, the Be-1 also weighed less than 1500lbs, which meant it was actually sort of interesting to drive. If you’ve ever zipped around in an original Micra, then you already know the feeling: feeble, but fun. At any rate, the quirky looks, low price, inexpensive operating costs, and cheap insurance all combined to make the Be-1 the hottest car to have in the late 1980s. The Pike Factory would only build 10,000 of them, but they received orders for at least 100,000. A lottery had to be set in place – you couldn’t just buy a Be-1, you had to win the chance to pay for one. Given the success of their experiment, Nissan decided to go ahead and have Sakai design two more vehicles for them, both still based off the Micra platform. The first was the Pao. Most common of all the Pike Factory cars – 50,000 built – the Pao is weird in the best way possible. Supposed to look a bit like a Renault 4, it has stamped-looking sheetmetal like a VW Thing, a clamshell rear hatchback, external door hinges, and rear side windows that flip up. You could also get it with a huge retractable canvas sunroof, another European touch. Like the Be-1, the Pao was immensely popular and sold out in three months. The one to have was probably the five-speed manual, and the press materials of the time show this plucky little car venturing among dinosaurs in a Lost World setting, or fording through deep snow drifts.

Back to school with an extra $1000 thanks to Willowbrook Chrysler Service manager Curtis Thomson had the pleasure of presenting Rachel Hope of Fort Langley with a scholarship cheque for $1000 at the Chrysler dealer’s Langley Bypass showrooms. Unfortunately for Rachel she was accepting the award on behalf of her brother Sean who has recently started agricultural college in Alberta and couldn’t collect the cheque personally! The award was one of a hundred made across Canada by the Chrysler Foundation to 4-H club members so they can pursue their post-secondary educations. 4-H is one of Canada’s longest running youth organisations and provides “hands on learning” opportunities within agricultural communities. It has recently celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Wishful thinking, I’m afraid, what with the 12” wheels and miniscule ground clearance. Still, it’s absolutely adorable – a puggish, puckish car that’s as cheap to run as its more-conservative Micra cousin. The third car Sakai would design for Nissan was the Figaro, a compact two-seater with a retractable roof in the style of a modern Fiat 500 convertible. Svelte and stylish, the Figaro is more polished than its stablemates, but is also hilariously small. 20,000 Figaros were built, and again a lottery was required to get into one. However, it was the car’s second life that became really interesting, as grey-market examples made their way to the UK, where a cult following sprang up. While the Figaro was the last of the March-powered minicars, Pike Factory also built a quirky cargo van. The S-Cargo was powered by a 1.5L engine that made a (very slightly) healthier 73hp, and it had a roomy rear cargo area. As the name would indicate, the S-Cargo is capital-S Slow, a fact emphasized by the snail-themed hubcaps and floormats. Still, that’s all part of the charm of this weird little van, which is eye-catching, and surprisingly utilitarian. The optional removable sushi tray is a nice touch too. All four Pike Factory cars were built between 1987 and 1991, and thus they’re all importable into Canada under grey-market rules. Odds are, you’ve seen one or two of them out and about: the Eatery, a funky sushi restaurant out near UBC, has a fleet of five Figaros. In the stop-and-go of urban Vancouver traffic, these little bento-boxes have found a new home. Their modest power levels are perfectly acceptable for city use, and they’ve got tight turning circles and are super easy to park. Most of all though, they combine rarity with reliability, and parts aren’t all that hard to come by. As with other Japanese Domestic Market imports, there are privateer mechanics to help keep these oddballs rolling. If you’ve got a sense of humour, it’s all too easy to find a little extra garage space for one.

Hope for osteoartHritis: Cold Laser Therapy Cold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions.

Cold Laser Therapy: Game Changer for Arthritis?

Laser light transfers energy to interior cells

niels’ Story

• Stimulates natural healing • Restores normal cellular structure and function • Prevents future injury

Being in my late 50s, I’ve seen my fair share of “can’t miss” investment tips, overhyped technologies and way too many promises of miracle cures for this or that ailment. So call me a skeptic.

What you will experience: • Pain goes away • Reduced inflammation & swelling • Restored mobility

Niels’ Mom

Why Cold Laser Therapy?

• Healing, not just masking of pain • Safe, drug free & no side effects • Avoid or delay the need for surgery • Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms

The Concept Behind Cold Laser Therapy The healing power of light The concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand different stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments. Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For example, light has shown to be effective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suffer from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination. Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bodies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supplements during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis. When we experience pain or inflammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble healing as a result. Blood flow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal.

The science

Scientific research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them. Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas. By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work? Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accelerate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of inflammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term. The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using a different wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimulate your body’s cells. The first step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing inside affected joints and even bone.

Conditions Treated

Back Pain Knee Pain Plantar Fasciitis Achilles Tendonitis After Surgery or Injury

Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis) and many other musculoskeletal conditions

Early last year my wife Maria and I were having dinner with my friend and business partner Louba and her daughter Melanie, a bright young chiropractor who had been practising for a few years since obtaining her doctorate in chiropractic. At one point in the conversation she mentioned that there was a new technology based treatment called “Cold Laser Therapy”, which seemed to have rather dramatic results for a variety of conditions. She mentioned that it was really good for accelerating the healing process for muscle tears, tendonitis and also for post surgical healing. I had remembered listening to a sports talk show some years earlier where the host had mentioned truly stunning acceleration of healing and getting back to normal when laser therapy was used after hip surgery. That all sounded very interesting as a mental note, if I ever needed such a procedure But when she mentioned Cold Laser Therapy had seen remarkable success in the treatment of arthritis, I asked “really?” I was rather skeptical, because my mom has been suffering from osteoarthritis in an increasingly bad way for many years. People familiar with the condition know all too well, there’s no known cure for the condition, just some ways of fighting the symptoms. Some of the medication my mom had tried provided decent temporary relief, but over the years she had to get off the best of those medications because of their strong side effects and later because they interacted dangerously with her heart medication. So she found herself between a rock and a hard place. Quitting the heart medication would probably kill her so she had to live with increasingly bad arthritis pain. To use just a simple example, her hands would hurt so much that she took to changing the bedsheets over 3 days. One day to change the pillowcases, another day to change the sheets and a 3rd day to change the duvet cover. Doctor Mel (that’s what everyone calls her) continued, “yes, this therapy has a remarkable success rate”. Being a health care provider she knows that nothing in health care is ever 100%, but anything that can really help 4 out of every 5 people is truly remarkable. So the next day I called my mom in Ontario on Skype (another fabulous invention) and told her about “Cold Laser Therapy” and asked her to find a clinic in her neighborhood, who provided such treatment. Over the years my mom had tried many different treatments for her arthritis, most didn’t work, or the side effects were too negative. She was naturally a little hesitant. But when I asked her to do this as a favour to me, I think her motherly instincts took over. After about 6 treatments over 3 weeks, she was very excited. “Look! I’ve got my hands back!” waving her hands to the computer camera, so I could see them. She showed me how much the range of motion in her hands had improved, how the swelling in the joints of her hand had gone down. Why am I telling this story? Because I can’t believe that Cold Laser Therapy isn’t better known and I think it really should be. And for some people its benefits can amount to a life changing event enabling them to return to improved mobility and eliminated or reduced pain. That dinner resulted in a partnership and a clinic providing Cold Laser Therapy, encouraged by my mom’s and others’ experiences plus other research. Sure, we’d love to be your cold laser therapy clinic of choice. But that’s not the most important point of my story. What’s most important is that this remarkable treatment exists and is truly worth learning about.

However every once in a while science and engineering produce a technology that is truly remarkable with a profound impact on some part of our life. Some of the technologies that our kids and grandkids take for granted were not around when I grew up. Computers really changed things. And so did the Internet. There have been quite a few breakthroughs in health care. But most of the better known involve drugs or surgery. However as I found out a little while ago, there’s a remarkable new treatment option available for a variety of conditions that involves neither drugs nor surgery.

ShockWave Therapy in Orthopedics has been clinically researched and proven in journals such as American Journal of Sports Medicine, Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, Foot & Ankle International, American Journal of Orthopedics, Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research and more!

What are shockwaves? Shock waves are high-energy acoustic (sound) waves that are used to penetrate the skin to treat an injured area in the body. There is a high release of energy at the soft tissue/bone interface. The release of energy from the shock waves within the region of the affected tissues and the resultant compression and tension of cells creates a positive physiological effect. Mechano- transduction is the physiological effect thought to be responsible for stimulating normal and injured cells to produce healing factors.

How does it work? ShockWave Therapy involves using a hand-held probe to focus shock waves on the affected tissue and surrounding healthy tissue to induce a physiological response that will initiate healing. It is important to accurately define the treatment area through appropriate diagnostics. We do that through taking in the patient’s concise pain history, palpation, x-rays, ultrasound, MRI etc. This ensures the most effective delivery of shock waves into the affected region. When applied to the skin, it allows an increased blood supply to the treated area by stimulation of neovascularization and growth factors. Other benefits of ShockWave Therapy include: • Re-initiates stagnant healing processes in chronic injuries • Decreases inflammatory processes • Stimulates osteoclasts and fibroblasts to rebuild injured tissues • Facilitates resorption of calcifications in tendons and ligaments • Stimulates migration (differentiation) of stem cells

Evidence based success rates More than 80% of patients report improvement after the first treatment of the program. Most studies report a full healing rate of 65-85% after completion of the treatment program.

Treatments may be covered under extended health benefits provided by Blue Cross, Great-West Life, Sun Life, Manulife, RCMP/Veterans Affairs and GreenShield coverage.

eachers. That is the topic of the day. No political statements here, no “sides” of the current dispute, no speculations on when and how the public schools will get back to the task at hand. I just want to mention teachers – they have a calling, and most of them love what they do. They share their passion for learning. Don’t lose sight of that. And of course, me being me, I appreciate most of all those teachers who encourage and lead children (and adults) to discover the creative world. These are the teachers in the “creative classroom,” which may be part of regular classrooms, or may be outside the public school venue. Last year, I met Rhayne. She was offering her “Rhayne Method” for teaching voice. She said anyone could sing – and should. “I love teaching singing,” says this professional performer, songwriter and recording artist.“I also incorporate in my method, the technique to prevent vocal injury derived from my former nurse’s training,” she adds. Last year I mentioned that she was teaching a group class at Surrey Arts Centre, and that class just took off with a huge enrollment. This beginning group is now at level two, and continuing to sing songs from many genres, including pop, classics and R&B. “It was gratifying to observe my students with increased joy, self-confidence and vocal ability as they sang,” Rhayne confided after a performance at Fleetwood Days.“I was so pleased hearing and seeing what they had been taught being put into action.” Practice is a key to success in learning anything and,

like any good teacher, Rhayne assigns “homework.” Practicing vocal techniques and warm-ups is proving not only to be a new hobby for many, but also a positive method of expression, stress reduction and social interaction. All good things to learn as you go through life. You can join the new beginner groups. All you need is the desire and love for singing! “Love To Sing” classes ($60 fee for six sessions) start Sept. 17, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Surrey Arts Centre. Also,“Singing for All” is at Fleetwood Community Centre from 7 to 9 p.m., also starting on Sept. 17. These classes are offered through Surrey Parks and Recreation; call 604 501-5100

to register. Learning social skills is an important part of public education. It is essential to be able to get along with – and understand – our fellow human beings and the world we live in. Surrey Arts Centre is offering a new class for youth aged 13 to 18: “Social Skills through Drama.” Set 1 begins Sept. 17 and Set 2 begins Oct. 29. Each set runs six weeks on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at a cost of $150. Taught by theatre professionals, teens will be challenged with a curriculum designed to develop selfexpression through voice, movement, improvisation, acting games and script work. see › page 26

Spearheaded by Jessica Danyk, City of Surrey healthy communities’ youth and community engagement co-ordinator, Band-Aid focuses on collaboration rather than competition among peers. The free event on Sept. 13 is for musicians aged 13 to 21 and begins at 10:30 a.m. The day includes workshops on band management, home recording, stage presence and songwriting, all to be instructed by successful players in the music industry. Mentors for the day include local singersongwriter T. Nile, Brad Graham from Turtle and Blue Frog Studios, Daman

and Fatima Beatty from Surrey 604, Terry Armitage from Canopy Productions, as well as bands Whitehorse and Speed Control. At the end of the BandAid event, all players can participate in a jam session; on Sept. 20, bands will play the Youth Fest main stage. “We’re all just doing this stuff independently right now so it’s good to know a few things,” said Hayden Peeling, bassist of Occasionally Dropped, who will be attending the event. Other youth music groups who attended a preliminary meeting for Band-Aid include DJ duo Deth Klown and fusion band Panic Picnic.
