Clayton Heights

Massive childcare centre opens Adrian MacNair

Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair

SURREY — A new 18,000-square-foot childcare facility opened its doors in Clayton Hills last week, offering parents a variety of options for infant, toddler, and out-ofschool care. The latest and largest of eight BrightPath centres in the province, the facility offers year-round care for children aged six weeks to five years, and before-and-after school care from Kindergarten to 12 years old. Liz Bradbeer, chief operating officer for BrightPath Kids, said the teachers’ strike resulted in 25 additional school-aged children on a full-time basis. Bradbeer said BrightPath analyzed numerous demographic research before settling on Clayton Heights, looking for families with the most need for childcare in the infant to four-years-of-age category.

SIZZLIN’

r e m su sem s nsation

“We were also looking to work with a municipality who would be appreciative of the childcare and would consent to this size of a facility,” she said. Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt, who was on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday (Sept. 16), said the site is a good fit for the neighbourhood. “This whole area of Clayton Heights is predominantly going to be two-income families with children,” he said. “This type of facility is absolutely ideal for them because it gives them something close to home.” Hunt said he was impressed by the philosophy of BrightPath offering childcare that’s complementary to parenting, while leaving the core parental roles to “mom and dad.” “There’s that recognition that, no, we’re not here to replace parents, we’re here to work with them in order to see these children have good, healthy relationships both at home and socially.”

According to Bradbeer, the facility cost between $6-8 million, including the building construction, materials in the classrooms, and technological investments. She said that staff begin working with children at the toddler age to introduce a program that aligns with the province’s Early Learning Framework. BrightPath uses Hatch Early Learning computer technology to encourage children toward educational achievements. “So, they think they’re playing video games, but they’re actually word games and number games and all kinds of different programs,” she said. “The information is recorded and we can share that with the parents.” Full-time infant and toddler childcare costs $1,375 a month. The three to five-yearold program costs $1,170 a month, and the Out of School Care Program costs $650 a month. For details, visit Brightpathkids.com.

SURREY – A 90,000-square-foot lumber and building material distribution centre is crediting the City of Surrey with attracting the company to its new location near Highway 10 and 152nd Street. Bernie Owens, vice president of operations for Chalifour Canada, said the modern facility is more than just a sign of commitment to its members and vendors. “It is a commitment to the City of Surrey, a commitment that we’ll provide a viable source of employment for its citizens today and invest in the City’s economic future of tomorrow,” he said. Grant Harris, national logistics manager for Chalifour, said that occupancy costs were too high in Vancouver and Burnaby, making Surrey ideal for a new warehouse. “It’s central to the highways, the ferries, the new highway systems all over the Lower Mainland support that as well. It’s central for our dealers, too,” he said. “For our customers to pick up, our vendors to deliver their goods.” Harris said most of their 40 employees live in Surrey or areas immediately adjacent. Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne, who was on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday (Sept. 16), said Surrey is a rapidly-growing community due to low home and business taxes. “We’re growing at over a thousand people a month to live here and to make this their home,” he said. “One of the key things for Chalifour is this is really strategically located for distribution and logistics companies.” Hayne mentioned the benefit of Surrey’s close proximity to two U.S. border crossings, the South Fraser Perimeter Road, railways, and the deep-sea Deltaport.

ENGAGE Distracted driving test

3 things to do this week

Third time not the charm

Do you remember that old play park in Guildford Town Centre where you could drop off your kids or take a coffee break while they messed about with toys? Well, if you’re a parent, rejoice, as a brand new, interactive play park is opening at the mall on Saturday (Sept. 20), featuring iPads and hands-on games with the LEGO store, Science World, the Honeybee Centre and more. The grand opening will start at 11 a.m., when the shopping centre’s new mascot will be revealed. The nature-themed play park is on the lower level of the mall, by the escalator to London Drugs.

WHITE ROCK — We’re all guilty of it, including myself. Picking up your cell phone to answer that call or text while driving. It’s only a couple of seconds of your attention, right? Wrong. On Tuesday (Sept. 16) at White Rock Christian Academy, I took part in a media event supporting ICBC’s distracteddriving campaign. Surrey RCMP members put me in a simulator that tested my driving skills by throwing a few curve balls into the mix. To friends and family who know me, being assigned this story is a bit ironic. Many can attest to the fact that when I hit the road, I’m always changing the FM station, adjusting the A/C or yapping to whoever is beside me. My first attempt at the simulator was short-lived. My “passenger” got in and thanked me for giving him a ride. After taking off from the parked position, I approached the first stop sign, looked left and right, and proceeded ahead. Three seconds later, a dog jumped in front of the car and my foot immediately hit the brake. Unfortunately, the pooch did not survive. I can still hear the howls in my head. The next stop sign had a pedestrian walking out in front. Everything seemed fine until my passenger asked me to call his boss to tell him he was going to be late. I started dialing, but remained stopped. “You have to go, you’re holding up traffic,” said ICBC’s Karen Klein, as she stood behind me watching. After dialing the number on the screen, I realized I had turned the wrong way. Whoops, game over. The second attempt was just as bad. I got all the way to the stop sign and the pedestrian, managing to call the boss and turn the right way this time. The passenger then insisted I text. As you can imagine, that did not pan out well. I bumped into a couple of vehicles, which prompted “Major Crash” to flash on the screen.

Surrey’s largest celebration for youth takes place this Saturday (Sept. 20) at Cloverdale Recreation Centre. This year’s celebration, the 10th, features a series of youth-based activities, including B-boy battles, basketball scrimmages and clinics, dance groups and more. Also featured in the new undercover skate park are skateboard and BMX demos. Youth DJ duo Deth Klown, who participated in the city’s BandAid program will also be performing. Doors open at 2 p.m. and the event will go on until 8 p.m.

About 88 people a year are dying as a result of distracted driving. You’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone.

I realized a third attempt was not needed because there was no way I was going to win. And realistically, neither will you. According to Klein, distracted driving has moved up to the second-leading cause of fatal crashes in B.C., right behind speed and ahead of drunk driving. “About 88 people a year are dying as a result of distracted driving. You’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone,” she said. “Leave the phone alone because no call or text is that important to risk your life.” RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr added Mounties are starting to see a trend in the right

direction, but there’s still a lot of work to do. “It’s like back in the ’70s and early ’80s when we had to push drivers to wear seatbelts. It takes a lot of education and reinforcement,” he said. “But that’s exactly what we’re doing here today.” You always hear the slogan, “If you’re going to use your phone, pull over.” But Carr wants to send a friendly reminder that you can’t just stop anywhere. “We’re noticing people are deciding to pull over on 152nd Street when it’s a no stopping zone. That in itself is a whole separate issue,” he said. “You have to do it in a safe location.” Klein said another misconception drivers have is looking down at their cell while stopped at a red light. “You’re still in control of your vehicle. It’s still on and you can still be ticketed.” Personally, the whole experience was an eye opener. I have no interest in causing an accident, being fined $167 or having three demerit points added to my record. That text and phone call – it can wait.

ENGAGE Public education

School could start Monday Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SURREY — With teachers expected to vote on a tentative deal Thursday, Surrey and Delta school districts are gearing up for a much-delayed start to the school year. “We’re just focusing on getting as much information as we can so we know what to expect,” said Surrey district spokesperson Doug Strachan. “The schools are ready to go, we could have students in classrooms tomorrow if that was possible, but obviously there has to be a few processes to play out yet.” According to Strachan, it’s unclear when they might be able to return to work should teachers accept the agreement. “Theoretically it’s possible there could be a decision by the union to return to work on the Friday but that would depend on stipulations in the agreement,” he said. Additionally, Strachan said the district would have to look at possibly moving a professional-development day scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22 if that day is to be the agreed-upon start of the school year around the province. “If it’s apparent that school opening day would be affected by that, then we would be looking to speak to our teachers’ union local about moving that professional development date,” he said. As for a timeline on when that decision would be made, Strachan said they weren’t putting a fixed deadline on that, but that the district was “mindful of the needs of parents to know what plans to make. “At this point we advise parents to be monitoring the media as well as the district’s website,” he said. “The superintendent has been pretty diligent in posting letters to parents the bsit ithin

hour or so of any significant decisions or developments and that will continue.” In Delta, school board chair Laura Dixon said she found out about the tentative agreement via Twitter at 4:10 a.m. Tuesday. “I’ll say this, I’ve lost a lot of sleep through all of this,” she said, chuckling. “So, it’s on my mind and I tend to wake up in the night and check on the progress.” Dixon said there are still some items to work out in the new contract but both sides were convinced they were far enough along that they could announce the tentative deal. Mediator Vince Ready was reportedly scheduled to leave on an 8 a.m. flight to Toronto to deal with another dispute, which was one of the reasons both sides held marathon talks into the wee hours of the morning. If all systems are go on Monday, Dixon said Delta’s schools will be ready to open for the new school year. She said principals have been working hard throughout the work stoppage to keep in touch with families to ensure any registration issues or course changes won’t be an issue. But Dixon said there are always unforeseen details with the start of classes. “Since this is the start up of the year for this particular labour action, what we don’t know is, have there been families that have moved into the area, have there been families that have departed?” Dixon said the school board will explore whether there’s maneuvering room to make up for some of the lost time due to the strike, particularly looking at what impacts the delay of the school year may have had on at-risk youth or students with special needs. “But that’s a conversation yet to come,” she said. Delta district’s professional-development day is scheduled for Friday Sept. 19. with file from Adrian

Delta Police chief Cessford to retire next year Tom Zytaruk

DELTA — Canada’s longest-serving police chief will retire early next year. Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford began his policing career with the Edmonton Police 46 years ago. He joined the Delta Police in 1995, as chief. “The department is in a good place right now and we have an outstanding team ready to take on the challenge

of leading the organization into the future,” Cessford said. Mayor Lois Jackson said Cessford will leave big shoes to fill. Jim Cessford “Delta Police has a reputation second to none across Canada, and we plan on keeping that status,” she said. “I am committed

to maintaining Delta’s reputation as ‘no call too small’ when it comes to community policing, along with our low crime rates.” Cessford has received the Governor General’s First Bar for 40 years of Exemplary Police Service and in 2009 was named Citizen of the Year by the Delta Chamber of Commerce. The following year, he received the Order of Merit for Police Services medal and in 2012, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

SURREY – If Surrey’s lack of green makes you feel blue, here’s some good news for you. Royal Heights Park is set to receive 690 new trees, shrubs, and other plants this Saturday (Sept. 20), and you’re invited to help plant them. Rayhaneh Kheradbakhsh, regional manager for TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) for the Pacific and Prairie Region, says Surrey is just one site across Canada receiving 50,000 trees for the fifth anniversary of TD Tree Days. TD FEF works with local communities, environmental organizations, and municipalities to identify urban areas in need of “greening.” “The city (of Surrey) has determined that the park in Surrey is one that needs

more trees,” said Kheradbakhsh, adding the municipality has decided the variety and quantity that will be planted. Each site will have planting leaders consisting of TD employees who have volunteered their time for the event. But volunteers from the community will also be needed to help plant the hundreds of trees and other shrubs at Royal Heights Park this Saturday. Kheradbakhsh said people should dress according to the weather and have clothing durable enough to handle gardening. Although anyone is welcome to bring their own shovels or gloves, tools and treeplanting equipment will be provided along with participatory T-shirts, snacks, and water. “So, if it’s your first time planting we’ve got you covered,” she said. Royal Heights Park is located at 9797 115A St. Planting time begins at 9 a.m. To register as a volunteer visit Tdtreedays. com.

NORTH DELTA — Delta firefighters are making quite the splash in the 2015 Greater Vancouver Hall of Flame calendar, which launched Saturday, Sept. 13. Twelve poster boys, including Jason Wood out of Hall 6 on Annacis Island, posed against a night sky under the Lions Gate Bridge. Showing off his buff physique and using props like an oxygen tank, much is left to the imagination. “I was excited that I made it. This is my second time actually, not going to lie,” Wood said. “I knew what to expect.” The selection process took

to try and look your best and be ready for it. Our photographer did his best, we just hope the results are liked by everyone,” he said. Proceeds raised from the sale of the calendars are given to Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society, which in turn donates the money to local charities like the CKNW Orphan’s Fund and B.C. Children’s Hospital. The 28th edition also marks the first time firefighters are being asked to raise money for a charity of their choice through a FundAid campaign (see FundAid.ca). Wood decided to go with the Burn Fund because “it’s close to our hearts.” London Drugs will be selling the calendars.

NORTH DELTA — Residents are invited to tour the site of a proposed residential development in North Delta this weekend, to see firsthand what a company is proposing to do with the land at Highway 91 and 72nd Avenue. MK Delta Lands Group will provide tours this Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 20-21) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to show people what the abandoned industrial peat-mining plant looks like, and offer a vision as to what it can be if approved by Delta. “I don’t think people can appreciate how that is until they get down there and see it,” said Theresa Cooper, director of community relations and communications for MK Delta Lands. Prior to approval of the controversial Southlands development in Tsawwassen, the developer Century Group offered the public a tour of the site to explain their plans for the community. Cooper said MK Delta Lands

watched carefully what Century Group did and that it was a “turning point” in public opinion. “So what we took away from that was, getting people to touch it, feel it, and see themselves being engaged there is really beneficial,” she said. The company offered a similar tour to North Delta residents in June, which Cooper said provided good feedback to “tweak” its plans. The company has been working on a final development plan over the past three years based on numerous community engagements, some of which resulted in stiff opposition to certain proposals. “The outlet mall part is gone,” said Cooper. “It’s a much smaller commercial component now and about 1,100 residential units composed of townhomes and apartments.” MK Delta Lands is aiming to go before Delta Council in January for first and second reading of their latest proposal. The tour begins at 11 a.m. at Wade Road Park in North Delta. Shuttle buses will depart every 20 minutes until 3 p.m. Visitors should wear water-proof boots for their comfort.

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community

A RISE TO FAME, SIX SECONDS AT A TIME How Surrey’s Kunwar Dodd became famous for his Vines STORY BY KYLE BENNING

t was a year ago Sunday (Sept. 14) when Kunwar Dodd posted his first Vine clip. That clip has 11 likes and 92 loops. Today, Dodd has an audience of more than a quarter-million people. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University nursing student has become famous within the South Asian community thanks to the video sketches he writes and performs. Dodd, who was named Mr. India Globe 2014, is a regular contributor to

Punjabi Vines, a hashtag-turned-website collection of Vine videos that poke fun at the stereotypes of Punjabi people and their tendencies. He said he was first introduced to the mobile application when he watched a few of the videos on Facebook. “I saw the Punjabi Vines page, and I said, ‘Let’s take a stab at it.’ Then I made one Vine. It was featured. Then I made a few other ones,” Dodd said. “People started to really like the stuff. From there

on, I just continuously made them.” Vine is a social-media app that allows users to produce, edit and share sixsecond videos. Producers put their videos into categories, ranging from comedy to news, for the world to see. However, it is the comedians who have been the most successful with Vine, which is one of the reasons Dodd created an account. “I wanted people to laugh. I wanted people to enjoy watching me in whatever

the scenario is,” said Dodd. His audience appeared to be enjoying Dodd’s work after Punjabi Vines featured one of his first videos. “Seeing my first Vine being featured actually made me feel really good,” he said. “Seeing all those likes, 2,000 likes, then 3,000 likes (on his video) motivated me to do more.” see › page 11

Just like Dodd, Punjabi Vines has had exponential success online over the past year. The group has more than 14,000 followers on Vine, more than 10,000 followers on Instagram, 1,200 on Twitter and more than 250,000 likes on their Facebook page. Dodd, who grew up in Adampur, Punjab, has had no previous acting experience or lessons. However, being a Bollywood actor is a dream he has had for a while. “As a child, I wanted to be an actor. Growing up in India, just watching the movies with Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay (Kumar), all of them, they are really good actors. “For me, I see myself doing that. I believe that I can do that,” said Dodd. “Vine was a great opportunity for me to do that.”

he Dodd family moved to Canada in 2004, which has been a challenge for the Viner, but it has also given him a unique point of view and is part of the reason for his success. “It’s a different land, different country, different norms, different communication styles. (Because) I came here young, I was able to pick up the norms and the accent and all that faster in comparison to when I’ve seen people come here at an older age,” Dodd said. The Punjabi Vines page has such a broad audience base that it has raised its contributors to minor celebrity status. “Even at Kwantlen (Polytechnic University), I was walking down the hallway and a person asked me, ‘Hey, aren’t you that guy who makes Vines?’ “I went to my friend’s brother’s engagement party, and I come home and see the Vine app messages and there’s messages that say, ‘Hey, I think I saw you at a party yesterday.’ “People recognize me. It’s not to a bigger level, but within the community,” Dodd said. He also mentioned that many of his fans send him Facebook messages that tell him he is really funny and that motivate him to continue making videos and pursuing his dream. Javi Sidhu is a Viner with whom Dodd likes to collaborate. He said it is amazing how far their videos reach. “I was in the mall in Chandigarh, (Punjab) and one guy came to me and said, ‘I know you. You make Vines.’ I didn’t know that people in India watched (them) too,” Sidhu said. The Vine page has 35 regular contributors from

countries like Australia, England and the U.S., including Toronto-based YouTube star Jus Reign. Sidhu, who moved to Surrey three years ago, said a few of the Viners have a WhatsApp and Facebook messaging group where they can collaborate and work on projects together. When Dodd went to Los Angeles for the Mr. India Globe pageant, Sidhu was a part of the team that went with him. This gave Dodd and Sidhu a chance to team up with some of the Punjabi Viners in California to make some of their most successful Vines. Sidhu was one of the people who sent Dodd a Facebook message saying he was a fan. At that point, Sidhu created a Vine account, but hadn’t uploaded a video clip. The duo, now semi-famous for their episodes in which Dodd puts on a wig and the two play a couple, have worked together on 22 different Vines. Dodd believes that one of the reasons his videos have become so popular is because the subject matter is relatable. If he makes a Vine based off of something that happens in his home, he said that there are more than a thousand people who can relate to it and have experienced something similar. He said that this connection creates a bond between

himself and his audience and it “brings people together.” Katie Warfield, a communications instructor at KPU, said Vine is a tool mostly used by comedians who can capture an audience in a short amount of time. “For Vine, the people who are super popular for the most part are comedians,” she said. “They are catering to youth audience. The users of Vine are young.” Warfield went on to say a majority of Vine celebrities are between the ages of 15 and 23.

witter acquired Vine five months after it launched in June of 2012, which Warfield says is another key to its explosion in the social-media landscape. “If YouTube is longer versions of video, and Instagram is social media based on photos, it’s like Vine is that midpoint that shortened the YouTube videos, but extended the Instagram photos,” said Warfield. Warfield, who teaches visual media, said the success of Vine and other social media apps can be correlated with how often we’re plugged in. Rather than checking all of their messages at their lunch hour, people are constantly checking their phone and it breaks up their day, giving them less time to consume media. “‘I’m on the bus for two minutes, what can I do?’ Watch a Vine, read a couple tweets, these kinds of things,” she said. “It’s the TV station you go to because you know the programing is going to be good.” Warfield said it is interesting how comedians have taken to Vine, just as they did with YouTube when the video-sharing site hit web browsers in 2005. “YouTube started off as, ‘These are videos of my everyday life,’ to these are comedy sketches. The super early viral videos on YouTube were comedy-based. “You had these comedians who basically used YouTube as their platform to become super popular. Now YouTube is basically just sort of like a secondary television,” added Warfield. “(Vine) started as just being people messing around with it, but very quickly, it was the comedians who started using it again as a platform for celebrity.” These social-media celebrities use these tools to land record and TV deals, just like Justin Bieber did with YouTube and Andrew Bachelor, better known as King Bach, did with Vine. Rather than having to “work their way up” to celebrity status, social media has created a “flip” to becoming a celebrity where it seems to happen overnight. kyle.benning@gmail.com

Our view

If nothing else, strike has been a reminder of the value of public school system We’re heartened that kids will likely be returning to the classroom where they belong, perhaps as soon as Monday morning. Premier Christy Clark boasted Tuesday afternoon the tentative deal reached with the BCTF earlier that morning won’t result in a tax increase or deficit spending, which we applaud as well. After months of teachers and the province either ignoring each other or trading barbs in the media, it appears the elements of a negotiated settlement were there all along. Both sides had to give something – although it appears at first blush that the teachers had to give more. It’s highly likely the teachers’ union saw the writing on the wall. Rather than risk being legislated back to work in October – always the government’s fallback position, despite early protestations to the contrary – they chose to get the best deal they could at the negotiating table. The province held more cards, but also apparently saw the wisdom in giving the teachers more than $100 million to deal with potential union grievances related to class size and composition. That issue is still before the courts, and a third consecutive loss could have cost the government a lot more. Too bad it took both sides so long to reach these conclusions. If nothing else, the protracted strike was an important reminder of the value of the public school system. Not only is it essential to education, it’s also a huge employer, a source of business for local companies, a community hub and social service frontline. That’s a resource worth investing in, and worth fighting for. Back to school, kids. It’s been too long. Glacier Media

Your view

We haven’t forgotten in Grandview Heights The Editor, On Sept. 8, I attended a public hearing at Surrey City Hall for a proposed subdivision from an area where there is no Neighbourhood Concept Plan in place. The corporate report prepared as part of the process specifically cautioned council that Surrey’s Official Community Plan requires an NCP before approval, in order to avoid potential problems with infrastructure, engineering, transitions between land uses and a host of other issues, not the least of which is lack of public consultation. It further stated that, “The NCP process was developed as a result of the problems that the City experienced in

It’s a process, a policy that’s been in place since we started the NCP process I think back in the 1980s. So nothing, there’s no application that will come

DEBATE Surrey civic election

Police-muzzling accusations may still haunt McCallum ViewPoint Tom Zytaruk

In 2002, Safe Surrey Coalition mayoral candidate Doug McCallum battled with Surrey RCMP over the release of information. (File photo) gag order: E-mail hints otherwise,”“Mayor denies trying to stop RCMP press releases on crime in the area,”“Keeping the lid on crime news,”“McCallum contacted RCMP about Surrey image,”“Surrey Mounties vow they won’t be gagged by mayor” and, finally, “Mayor sorry for meddling with police.” Reporters and a local MP began to wonder why they weren’t receiving press releases from the RCMP about shootings and stabbings in Surrey, like they had in the recent past. Likewise, residents began wondering why they weren’t reading in the newspapers stories about serious crimes they knew to have occurred in their neighborhoods. The public has a right to know when shots are fired, MP Chuck Cadman told a Province reporter. “People have to be aware of what’s going on around them so they can address it,” he said. That same story cited a senior RCMP source who, on condition of anonymity, claimed McCallum had pressured police into withholding bad news about crime in Surrey. “McCallum doesn’t like any kind of negative

story about crime, period,” the senior cop charged. And then, an email surfaced. A city staffer in McCallum’s office had sent it to a senior Surrey RCMP officer months earlier, saying the mayor wanted to know why the RCMP issued a press release about a particular shooting. The superintendent replied, also by email, that residents had been evacuated from their homes, a command post had been set up, “and this was a very public event.” “A press release was properly made public,” the officer noted. McCallum denied trying to muzzle the police, saying the email was just a request for info. Still, the RCMP media headquarters in Vancouver claimed he had expressed concern that crime stories may frame Surrey in a negative light. McCallum tried to end the controversy by reading out a statement at an open council meeting. “I am determined to see that Surrey receives due recognition and is fairly portrayed,” he said.

“If in my passionate pursuit of these goals I caused anyone to feel my actions were out of line, for that I am truly regretful.” That was in 2002. McCallum was heading into his third election run, again on a law-and-order platform, and Surrey had just been dubbed the car-theft capital of North America, followed by Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, that was a long 12 years ago. But... Any effective campaign against crime requires full disclosure of the problem, and anything short is merely smoke and mirrors. McCallum and his Safe Surrey Coalition still have roughly nine weeks leading up to the Nov. 15 civic election to convince voters that accusations of muzzling and censoring police will remain in the past and won’t be an issue should they form Surrey’s next civic government.

t’s always been Doug McCallum’s thing to run for mayor on a law-and-order platform, and this latest campaign is no exception. Last week McCallum, who served as Surrey’s mayor from 1996 to 2005, introduced his $21-million, six-point public safety platform and his four Safe Surrey Coalition running mates for city council. During the big reveal, reporters received Safe Surrey’s inaugural press release proclaiming that the city “is faced with an ongoing crime wave that is being met with inaction” by the current council they aim to replace. McCallum himself cited a survey indicating that for 51 per cent of Surrey residents, crime is their number-one issue of concern. We need more cops and bylaw officers, he said. “We will launch a public awareness campaign to encourage our community to also be a partner in driving crime from our communities,” he declared, notably. Safe Surrey Coalition’s website contains a manifesto of guiding principles that cover such topics as “assurance of public safety” and accountability. Guiding principle No. 2 holds that, “Public engagement and access to information comprise the foundation of a legitimate government.” Hard to disagree with that. Right? While some of his running mates have never sought public office until now, McCallum has a political record to be mined. Roughly midway through his nine-year run as mayor, McCallum was accused of leaning on the Surrey RCMP to suppress information it released to the public – in effect, trying to boost Surrey’s image by censoring press releases about crime in the city. McCallum denied this up and down, but still proffered a public apology of sorts. It all began with rumours, which led to fingerpointing and a flurry of newspaper headlines, like “RCMP asked to keep city’s crime woes under wraps,”“Mayor denies cop

Move to OK dock expansion signals a broken democracy

coal trains until a proper, independent health study is accomplished. The GVRD voted overwhelmingly against the facility for similar reasons. A cursory study, undertaken by SNC Lavalin, is accepted by the CEO of FSD, despite the fact that Dr. Paul Van Buynder, head of the Fraser Health Authority, demands further assessment. When the citizens of the Lower Mainland, asked to give feedback, send thousands of submissions asking to halt the project and are then ignored, something is terribly wrong. In the dog days of August, on the 21st, while many citizens were on vacation or enjoying our sublime weather, the project was given the go-ahead. And now, with few hurdles left, the thermal coal from Wyoming will pass through the Lower Mainland, spewing black dust on its way to China to further pollute the global environment. Well done, Canada! Harvey Ostroff, Surrey

Shocked by travel spending The Editor, Re: “No overseas council travel on my watch, McCallum vows,” the Now, Sept. 16. I read with interest Tuesday’s news report with regard to all the worldwide travels over the years by our past mayors and council members. I must say, I was shocked at the amount of travel that has been going on and the fact that they are staying at five-star hotels. We have had mega projects going forward in our city totaling hundreds of millions of dollars – some well spent, some questionable as to whether or not they were really

needed. Now it is revealed that for two decades, we have had our mayors and councillors traveling the world like rock stars on our dime – or should I say, on our tens of thousands of taxpayers’ dollars. All this when infrastructure is not keeping pace with development and when seniors need affordable housing in our city. We have not had enough police resources in this city for two decades. Perhaps if our elected officials had been totally focused on public safety and policing issues in our city, we would not be in the predicament we find ourselves in today. Every election, the promise is for more police officers. With all due respect, the question begs to be asked: Why are we still playing catchup after two decades? When you do not feel safe in your own neighbourhood, nothing else matters, and there are more than one or two neighbourhoods in Surrey where residents are not feeling very safe. It looks like it is time for a shakeup at city hall. Darlene Bowyer, Surrey

Thanks to safe drivers The Editor, We so often hear complaints about people using their cellphones, texting, smoking or doing other things while driving. It’s about time we give kudos to those who pull over for a call. Don’t answer at all or wait until you are safely stopped (not at red light). There are lots of people who obey the laws and are safety conscious. Thank you to all those people. Carol Ann Robertson, Surrey

Delta civic election

Impressive run has one more term Column Ted Murphy

t looks like she’s willing to settle for being number two. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson’s announcement last Monday that she would seek a sixth term this November didn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who keeps tabs on municipal hall in Ladner. Although she was reluctant to confirm it any earlier than she did, all signs, including campaign fundraising having already begun in earnest, pointed to yet another re-election bid. The bigger question was how much longer the veteran politician, who has been on Delta council almost continuously since the early 1970s, would continue to occupy the mayor’s chair. She answered that one on Sept. 8 as well by declaring the upcoming term, provided she’s re-elected, will be her last.

Her history of fending off challengers, coupled with a dearth of opponents this time around, suggests there’s no reason to think voters won’t return her two months from now. If that’s the case, she’ll continue her climb up Delta’s record book. During the current term, Jackson passed William Henry Ladner to move into third spot on the list of longesttenured Delta mayors. Ladner, who was Delta’s first reeve back in Lois Jackson 1880, served on six different occasions for a total of 14 years. When Jackson completes this term, she will have served for 15 years, which will equal the run of John Kirkland, who presided over Delta in the 1940s and ’50s. Should she get re-elected and finish out the next term, which will be a four-year one, it would bring her time in the municipality’s top job to 19 years, which would put her in second place by

herself, but still well short of the record held by Alex Paterson. Those who marvel, and for good reason, at Jackson’s longevity will surely be in awe of Paterson, who was Delta’s reeve (the English term was used until 1969 when it was replaced by mayor) for a whopping 27 years. He was at the helm from 1914 to 1944, with the exception of a three-year stretch in the early 1920s. Jackson, who has already made history by becoming the first woman elected to Delta council in 1972, will have to settle for second spot on the mayor’s list – assuming, of course, she doesn’t re-consider the decision about it being her final term and seeks a mandate beyond 2018. That seems unlikely at this point, but if there were ever going to be a western version of Hazel McCallion, the 90-something mayor who has ruled Mississauga for the better part of four decades, Jackson would have to be a leading candidate.

Surrey First promises action on rail relocation People gather to hear Surrey First mayoral candidate Linda Hepner speak about rail-relocation plans Tuesday in the Crescent Beach area of Surrey. (Photo: KEVIN HILL)

Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SOUTH SURREY — A week after White Rock council voted to begin the formal process of requesting the federal government move the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line away from the waterfront, Surrey First is making the issue an election priority. During an event held Tuesday at the Beecher Street rail crossing at Crescent Beach, Surrey First mayoral candidate and current council member Linda Hepner said they were committed to working with the federal government to have the tracks moved elsewhere. Currently, access to Crescent Beach is blocked off entirely whenever a train is passing through the area. As such, concerns have been raised that something as simple as a train blocking access could be the difference between life and death if there were ever a medical emergency on the beach. “Absolutely nothing trumps safety and here in Crescent Beach we’re seeing more trains, longer trains, we’re seeing heavier trains,” said Hepner.“So, on the one hand, while that’s saying the world wants to do business with us, and that’s great on the flipside of that, is that these trains are now

completely isolating an entire community.” Referring to the recent decision by Port Metro Vancouver to approve a coal terminal expansion at Fraser Surrey Docks that would see 640 more train trips a year pass through the area, Hepner said it was time to act, as the problem will only be getting worse. “That is a major safety issue, it has become more frequent and what concerns me more is slope stability,” she said.“I am not convinced that the slopes are not being compromised by the increased weight and frequency of the trains we’re seeing today, so where does

that leave us?” Surrey council broached the subject of rail relocation last fall when they held a joint open house with White Rock about looking at rail relocation. At the time, four potential relocation routes were shown, which in turn upset other residents of Surrey. While approximately 1,200 Surrey residents call Crescent Beach home, others wondered why residents elsewhere should have to suffer through having a rail line through their neighbourhoods.

In response, Hepner and her fellow councillors at the time said the talks were “premature,” and that the bigger issue was that of rail safety as a whole. “It’s so premature, it’s actually diluted the conversation about rail safety,” she said in December

2013.“Without a willing partner and without those discussions, it’s probably too early to have that conversation.” But with White Rock prepared to force some kind of action through the Railway Relocation and Crossings Act (RRCA), Hepner said it was now crucial that Surrey has its say. “I want to make sure that I am advocating for us to

continue to work with the feds,” she said adding that she would join White Rock in applying the RRCA.“I 100 per cent agree with that; if push comes to shove, we’ll use the Railway Relocation and Crossings Act.” The RRCA is an official appeals process through Transport Canada, by which municipalities can “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.” Finally, asked why this was a Surrey First issue rather than a city council issue, Hepner said she wanted residents to know that Surrey First would be prepared to carry this issue beyond the election and would remain committed to getting this done. Hepner said the process would likely take at least five years, which was the length of time White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin estimated for the relocation.

Surrey’s Punjabi radio stations facing CRTC ban Now contributor Twitter @tverenca

SURREY — Two radio stations operating out of Surrey could be slapped with mandatory cease-and-desist orders come October. According to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), Radio India and Radio Punjab

have offices in the city, but do not hold licenses to operate in Canada. Signals have been transmitting from Washington state, but their frequencies can be heard across the Lower Mainland. In a notice of hearing, the CRTC states Radio India has an agreement with the licensee of KVRI 1600 AM in Blaine, Wash. Meanwhile, Radio Punjab is linked to New Age Media Ltd., the

licensee of KRPA 1110 AM in Oak Harbour, Wash. A third radio station, Sher-E-Punjab, has studios in Richmond, but has an arrangement with BBC Broadcasting Inc., the licensee of KRPI 1550 AM in Ferndale, Wash. The CRTC argues the broadcasting companies are skirting format and content regulations under the Broadcasting Act. The CRTC will host

a hearing on Oct. 15 in Gatineau, Que., allowing the stations to show cause as to why the commission should not issue the ban. “Once we receive whatever documents, we’ll analyze them and come up with a decision. I don’t know how long it will take,” said Patricia Valladao, manager of media relations for the CRTC. Businesses advertising on these airwaves could also

take a hit. The commission notes section 19.1 of the Income Tax Act, which says deductions cannot be made “for an advertisement directed primarily to a market in Canada and broadcast by a foreign broadcasting undertaking,” which includes a transmitter located outside Canada. The issue of cross-border transmission into Surrey has been a thorn in CRTC’s side for more than a decade. The problem first surfaced in 1998 when the commission discovered programming was being transmitted via satellite. In 2001, a letter was sent to the radio stations involved, letting them know they needed a license to continue their operations. The stations then informed the CRTC satellite distribution had stopped. In 2005 during a licensing hearing, the commission noted applicants Sher-EPunjab and Radio India were operating from Washington state, but programming was heard in the Vancouver

market. Both were denied a license. This past January, the CRTC held hearings in Surrey to license two more radio stations. Radio India was late in getting its application in and was rejected an extension. SherE-Punjab also applied and told the CRTC it would stop transmitting from the U.S. if it was granted the license for 600 AM, which it did not win. The broadcasting companies had until Aug. 28 to submit comments to the CRTC in advance of the October hearing. Several interveners have filed documents, specifically regarding Sher-E-Punjab and a controversial proposal to build radio towers in Point Roberts, Wash. Radio Punjab told the Now it will be at the hearing, while Radio India was unable to be reached for comment by press deadline.

the students who are getting hit the hardest by the strike – those who are graduating from public school or were hoping to get accepted to post-secondary programs. “I have one student… she can’t get into the BCIT program because the strike happened two weeks before grade 12 was ending and she wasn’t able to write some of her classroom tests,” Naz said. “Some of her projects weren’t marked, so her mark ended up being lower than it should have been and then she didn’t make the cutoff to get into the program. She had a conditional acceptance that got taken away, and she couldn’t do the course in the summer because there was no summer school. So, she found us and now she’s doing the course again to update her mark. Now she has to reapply and try to get into the program 12 months later.” Naz said that I Learn DL has a focus on technology-based education, but unlike many independent or private schools, it is not faith-based.

follow the standard curriculum set out by the province. Though I Learn DL has maxed-out their blended learning courses, Naz said there’s a positive to the conundrum resulting from the BCTF’s strike in public schools across the province. “I think the strike has a lot to do with it because the students don’t have other options,” she said,“so it’s kind of a positive because the parents are informed about other options and another way of learning. I think that it’s kind of a positive thing because maybe they didn’t think their child had an option, so now they’re looking for an alternative and perhaps they’re thinking, ‘Well actually, this fits my child’s needs better than the public system.’” In September of 2013, I Learn DL had 250 courses that students were actively enrolled in. This year, Naz said, that number has more than doubled with 510 active courses. “The 510 course count is really high for us. I’ve never seen it in the four years I’ve been here,” Naz said.

SURREY — An independent secondary school based in Surrey has seen its enrolment numbers spike by 200 per cent this September. Since many high school-age students who might normally attend public school haven’t started what would be week three of the school year, I Learn DL — a “blended learning” secondary school that incorporates partial in-class lessons and online classrooms – has been taking in a higher volume of students than normal. The school’s principal, Saima Naz, said that for the first time, the institution has actually had to turn away some wouldbe students. “It’s so intense, so we just have to work through all these requests, but it’s so sad to say no to a lot of them because our blended learning programs are full,” Naz told the Now last week.“It’s been really busy. Just from our website alone, we’ve been getting 50-plus inquiries a day.” In a blended-learning environment, students are on the school’s campus (located on the corner of King George Boulevard and 62nd Avenue) two to three times a week and are learning online for the rest of the time, Naz explained. “That’s a really popular program and we have 23 students in each class and we’re booked. The only spots we have available (are) for the pure online class,” she said. The school isn’t a private one; it’s tuition-free and is funded by the Ministry of Education, but as Naz explained, an independent school receives about 50 per cent of the funding that a public school would. Its teachers are B.C.-certified, but do not belong to the British Columbia Teachers Federation, and the school is required to

Parents of murdered teen make park safer, better Son was stabbed to death in 2011 near site of new memorial Matthew Robinson

Vancouver Sun Twitter @atmattrobinson

NEWTON — Wayne Bell and Cynthia Allaire-Bell squinted in the earlyevening sun as they admired

a bold and towering new piece of Haida art at Frank Hurt Park in Surrey’s Newton area. The sculpture, named Eagle Calling, is of particular significance to the married couple. It was created by renowned Haida artist Robert Davidson, a man who adopted their two sons Brandon and Devon Allaire-Bell into the Eagle Clan and had given the pair Haida names.

That was about six years before Devon was repeatedly and fatally stabbed near the park at the age of 19 in a 2011 homicide that remains unsolved. Sara Nielsen, the sister of Devon’s best friend Jack – who received lifethreatening wounds in the same attack but survived – stood alongside Bell and Allaire-Bell as the three quietly regarded Frank Hurt

Park, a space that they and others across the Lower Mainland transformed in Devon’s honour, and that is now slated for grand opening on Saturday, Sept. 20. “We never dared to hope we would be standing among something like this,” said Bell, looking around. He held his face still as tears welled in his eyes. “Maybe this is a start. I hope. I really do.”

Devon and Jack had been kicking around a soccer ball at nearby Frank Hurt secondary on April 24, 2011, when they were approached by a group of men who had emerged from the park where Bell stood. At the time, the thenunnamed and decrepit park was overgrown and strewn with needles, condoms, blankets and discarded clothing. After the confrontation, the attackers fled back into the densely wooded park, leaving Devon and Jack suffering from their wounds. Devon later died in hospital. Allaire-Bell stood in a wide clearing and stepped off a newly-paved pathway to let a cyclist pass. “Something good had to come from something so bad,” she said. In the days after Devon’s murder, his mother started cleaning up the space, now named Frank Hurt Park. She was soon joined by others – family, friends, colleagues and city workers. Together, the community that formed around the park channelled its sorrow and grief into an effort to recreate the space. She pointed to some of the changes. There are wider walkways through the trees, a new children’s playground, better lighting and a community plaza that is still being worked on. A parkour course is planned for next spring, something Allaire-Bell said Devon and Jack would have loved. “I don’t see it as an end,” she said, speaking of the park’s grand opening. “It will always need to be cleaned up, there will always need to be planting ... it will never really end. At least not for me, until I can no longer do it and then hopefully someone will

People from across the Lower Mainland came to work alongside Allaire-Bell, her husband said. “I will spend the rest of my life thanking every one of them,” he said. “No words can express enough my gratitude to those people. They credit us, my wife and I, for doing this. I keep telling people, it wasn’t us. It wasn’t just her and I, it was everybody.” The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is still searching for people of interest in the murder. They are described as five South Asian men in their late teens or 20s. Video footage and a map of the route the suspects took as they approached the school were released after the murder in hopes the public would help identify them. IHIT continues to investigate the file, Jennifer Pound, a spokeswoman for the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said in a statement.

ADVOCACY

WHITE ROCK — With White Rock’s waterfront undoubtedly being the city’s most popular parking location, council is hoping to make it as easy as ever for visitors and guests to drop some coin on the prime parking pads. To that end, the city will be replacing the current 10year-old parking machines with the latest and greatest in pay-parking technology, to the tune of $333,000. The figure, as noted by the city’s director of financial services Sandra Kurylo, will cover 36 new pay parking machines and six handheld devices and everything else needed for the city to maintain the system. “When it was purchased, the dispensers were said to have a seven- to 10year lifetime,” explained Kurylo, adding that it was near-impossible to find replacement parts for both

Guns on our streets

Police struggle: real or replica? Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — Check out this photo. Can you tell which gun is real and which is a replica? Imagine that you’re a police officer responding to a call of “a man with a gun” and you have a split-second to decide if he’s got a toy or the real McCoy. Now imagine you’re the guy holding a toy gun and the police are bearing down on you. Scary, eh? It happens. “Unfortunately, these incidents regularly involve someone with their latest air gun – BB gun, pellet gun, airsoft gun – or replica, not realizing the risks associated with openly carrying or displaying these replicas in public or to a police officer,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. “When police receive complaints about firearms, they have a duty to intervene accordingly, based on the information and details received.” So far this year, Surrey RCMP has dealt with more than 20 incidents

Surrey RCMP photo shows real AR-15 rifle (top) and a replica. involving airsoft guns or replica guns being used or transported in an unsafe manner. “The majority of these cases required a level of response based on the assumption that the weapons were real, posing safety issues for everyone involved,” Paquet said. When transporting airsoft guns, pellet guns, paintball guns and, of course, real guns, Paquet said, they should be secured in cases in the trunk

and not be with people in the car. They should also only be used in designated areas like gun club and paintball ranges, he added. “The attached photos clearly demonstrate the similarity between airsoft or replica guns and real firearms,” Paquet said. “While you have plenty of time to look at the images and try to determine which one is real, our officers do not.”

Results vary from patient to patient. May be covered under employee health care benefits. Laser therapy is not a surgical or invasive process. There is no cutting or burning with this type of laser. Instead, it gets absorbed by soft tissue and joints. This stimulates the healing process by increasing the production of ATP(adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the simple fuel that cells need to heal injuries and resolve inflammation. Laser therapy can also reduce scar tissue formation, increase lymphatic drainage and improve vascular circulation. All these things lead to faster and improved healing. If your in pain call Laser Health Solutions today!

WHITE ROCK — With density being top of mind for so many residents these days, White Rock council is looking at banning coach houses in an effort to keep singlefamily lots just the way they are. The idea was brought forth by Coun. Alan Campbell at the Sept. 8 council meeting, who felt the idea of coach houses in White Rock were “just another loophole” for people to densify and essentially subdivide their lots where they shouldn’t be. “I feel there is no place for them in our city – single-family lots are single-family lots,” he said. “It’s so important we uphold this. These coach houses are 25 feet high and suddenly plunked in… looking into people’s back gardens.” Referring to coach houses already existing in White Rock, Campbell said the city was initially told they would be a good idea, but after hearing from residents and seeing the results for himself, he would now like to see them banned entirely. Campbell also recalled speaking with a resident who wanted to build a coach house for her son who couldn’t afford to live elsewhere, but after asking her to look at some of the others in the city, she ended up agreeing with him. For those concerned about affordable housing, Cambpell said there already exists the ability to build additions onto existing homes. Coun. Helen Fathers echoed Campbell’s

I feel there is no place for them in our city – singlefamily lots are single-family lots. It’s so important we uphold this. These coach houses are 25 feet high and suddenly plunked in. statements, and said she went to look at a development pretending to be a buyer and was told by the agent that she would be able to put in a basement and coach house, even if it wasn’t on the original proposal. “I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth,” she said. However, rather than outright banning the structures at the Sept. 8 meeting, council instead voted to put a moratorium on coach houses while staff looked into the issue. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said there may be some other properties in the city – such as the large ones on Marine Drive – that may end up being caught in a ban. On such large properties, Baldwin suggested coach houses wouldn’t be an issue to anyone and wanted to make sure they weren’t limiting everyone’s options right off the bat. As such, council voted unanimously to put any future coach houses on hold for the time being with an eye to possibly ban them at a later date.

But not by eating collagen. you see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food.

e are a community dedicated to culture, centered around the arts. We must be. There are so many cultural events planned for presentation for the rest of September and into October that it is impossible to take it all in – or for me to keep up with all of it. So, do a little cultural detecting for yourself: contact Surrey Arts Centre and get on the mailing list for its calendar of events. Call 604-501-5566. Join the Arts Council of Surrey and receive their Spotlight on the Arts every month. Surf the web. Talk to each other - in person, not Facebook. Culture Days runs from Sept. 25 to 28 – there are dozens of events, and Surrey is introducing its newest performance space, Centre Stage, located at city hall. Check it out on the web. In the meantime, there are some fascinating live-theatre choices awaiting your attendance. Avenue Q, that very adult musical theatre with muppets and people, is arriving for a stint at Surrey Arts Centre from Oct. 15 to 25. “The music is playful, the lyrics are outrageous, the script is hilarious and the characters are delightful,” noted director Peter Jorgensen. “Underneath its colourful fur, a big, boisterous heart beats. Avenue Q is the perfect musical comedy… unless you are under 14 years of age. I’m thrilled to be taking our hit production on tour to entertain even more audiences!” Jorgensen is no stranger to Surrey. His very successful musical-theatre training camp for teens has had a home at our arts centre for many spring breaks. This is the first show of a trio that Vancouver’s Arts Club brings annually to Surrey. Sure, the tour goes other places as well, but who’s counting? Phone the box office for

tickets: 604-501-5566. Jorgensen is not the only name familiar to this column space. Last week, I told you about Faith Toronchuk and her Imagine That! drama classes. She does more than that, and this year she is quite pleased to have written the script for A Night on Broadway: After Hours. This oneday fundraiser for Surrey Food Bank, presented by Envision Financial, has been an annual event for the past several years. The original concept was first presented by our own Debra DaVaughn and Christopher Simmons. The theme switched from opera to Broadway and it is a wonderful show put together by wonderful people for a wonderful cause. Yeah, I know that sounded sugar-coated and gooey, but there it is. Get tickets now for the show, at Surrey Arts Centre on Oct. 4 (show times at 3 and 7:30 p.m.). This may be your last chance. Phone the box office, 604-501-5566. And since we will be in cultural week next week, think about getting involved in a totally different type of project. Make a film. Just a short one. Enter the seventh annual 50-Hour Film Challenge, presented by Surrey Little Theatre. You get a group of people, access to a video camera (you can use your smart phone, iPad, Red Camera or any other video-producing camera). You will need someone on your team who is computer and tech savvy and can edit the film you take. The film can be no longer than five minutes, but there are some other challenges – of course there are. The actual 50 hours starts 6 p.m. Friday Oct. 17 and you have until Sunday Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. to deliver your completed DVD to Surrey Little Theatre. At the beginning time, you will arrive at SLT, and pick up your “inspiration” package. This includes things you must include in your film: a prop, a location, a phrase and a character. Then your group gets together, writes a script and goes out into the world to shoot your film. Edit. Bring in the finished

First prize is $500, entry fee is $100. Check out all the rules and regulations and registration at Surreylittletheatre.com. Surrey Little Theatre’s Brigitte Sieb is still the driving force behind this film challenge. She has done fabulous set designs, directed award-winning plays, produced plays and has been president of Surrey Little Theatre. She has done so many things for this community theatre group, including planning the renovations (still ongoing) and, honestly, I don’t know how she manages to have time to run her design business. The Community Theatre Coalition honoured her with a lifetimeachievement award at its Sept. 6 awards gala. Well deserved. Be inspired. Get a group, make a film. Make Brigitte proud. Oh yes, I should mention that you probably won’t get much sleep on the weekend film challenge, but artistic achievement always comes at a price. melminty@telus.net

Surrey art tour,‘Flora and Fauna’ exhibit launch Saturday Teresza Verenca

Now contributor Twitter @tverenca

SURREY — The city’s art scene will be buzzing this Saturday (Sept. 20) with a firstever studio tour taking place and the launch of a nature-inspired exhibit at Surrey Art Gallery. The former, called Art in the City, will see 14 artists stationed at 10 different locations

around Surrey, showcasing their work for the public free of charge. “We recognize art is a very important sector of the tourism industry. We wanted to come up with an idea where we could focus on our local talent,” said Cathy James, executive director of Tourism Surrey, adding each site will have something different. “There are so many mediums they use. Everything from pottery, to glass blowing,

Inspired by Nature, scheduled to run until mid-December, will feature 74 works dating from the 16th to 21st centuries. The complexity and fragility of the natural world is explored through paintings, drawings and crafted objects. “There are some wonderful pieces like the insect prints from the 17th century – one image, for example, Dragon Flies and Bumble Bees. It’s really incredible to see the series,” said Jordan Strom, the gallery’s curator of exhibitions. The majority of the collection is from the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. “We’re the only B.C. venue for this particular tour,” Strom noted. “People don’t often have time to travel to the nation’s capital to see the national gallery exhibitions. We’re just thrilled to have it here.” There will be a curator’s tour Saturday at 6:30 p.m. followed by the opening reception at 7:30 p.m. Looking ahead, the fifth annual Peninsula Art Tour will feature 21 artists in the South Surrey/White Rock area on the weekend of Sept. 27-28. For a guide to all the locations, visit Peninsulaarttour.com.

to water colours,” she said. “The artists will be there in their own studios to talk to everyone.” James recommends planning your day accordingly because destination points are somewhat scattered, stretching from Highway 10 and 120th Street to 88th Avenue and 184th Street. “I think getting residents to drive around the community, around Surrey, is very important,” she said. “Especially because you can’t really walk around here.” The self-guided tour is being made possible through a cultural grant Tourism Surrey received from the city earlier this year. James hopes to see the inaugural event grow in the coming years. “We’re looking to build on what we’ve done this year in order to continue it,” she said. “We have lots of talented people. Sometimes it’s a matter of pulling them all together into something like this.” A map of the tour can be found at Tourismsurrey.com/studiotour. Meanwhile, the public is also encouraged to check out Surrey Art Gallery’s newest exhibit. Flora and Fauna: 400 Years of Artists

Campbell Valley Regional Park

Pedal power pushed at Country Celebration Visitors explored Langley’s rural roots at weekend event LANGLEY — Pedal power was put into motion during the Country Celebration this weekend in south Langley. The 36th annual late summer fair took place over two days, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13-14, at Campbell Valley Regional Park. The sound for the entertainment stage was run by deep-cycle batteries that were charged through solar panels, wind turbines, and visitors who volunteered to help out by pedaling bicycles. Although it would take 13 bicycles running constantly, producing an average of 120 watts per hour to run a 1,500 watt stage, every little bit counts, noted Green Power Events, which hosted the unique display. The country fair combined nature, heritage, agriculture and community. Activities included dance and music performances, stilt walking, hula hoop workshops, kite-making, milking demonstrations, llama obstacle courses, a farmers’ market, displays featuring several dozen vendors and kids activities. ABOVE: As Andrew Ius from Green Power looked on, five-year-old Tavin Wong used pedal power on Sunday to help power the sound for the entertainment stage during the 36th annual Country Celebration at Campbell Valley Regional Park. BELOW: “Professor Banjo” Paul Silveria performed late Sunday morning during the Country Celebration.

being honoured for their longstanding contributions to the B.C. country music industry, and one is Langley’s own Terry Gray. He is being inducted into the BCCMA Hall of Fame this fall. Gray is being called a pioneer in the B.C. country music industry for his contributions not only as a director of the association for years, but for the work he did as a stage manager for 12 past BCCMA award ceremonies, as well as his management and stage work at the former Hedley Blast and Merritt Mountain Music Festival. He won country music person of the year in 2002, but said his 30-plus-year career in stage managing and producing has spanned many genres of music, including blues, rock and country. The Willoughby resident said he was a little shocked to hear of his impending recognition, in part because the honour is typically given to musicians, not those working behind the scenes. “The BC Country Music Association is taking an exciting approach with the presentation of the BCCMA Hall of Fame Show this year, by paying tribute to these 10 dedicated leaders of B.C. Country Music, Nov. 9 at the Clarke Theatre in Mission,” Corscadden explained. Gray joins fellow inductees Dan Earle, Kenny Hess, Anne Lord, Gerry King, Rick Tippe, Bill Rea, Sue Irving, Les Redekopp, and Jim Howe in receiving this industry honour. “The contributions of these inductees were, and are, paramount to the ongoing tradition and success in all areas of country music in B.C.,” she added.“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring you a show honouring these pioneers.” “I’ve done a lot of different things and not all with country music,” Gray explained, adding “I grew up in Calgary, so I grew up hating country music.” Gray started in the entertainment industry while in college. While he assumed he would go into the

Terry Gray. construction industry, like the rest of his family, he admittedly was quite innovative and inventive. He loved working with his hands and tinkering with electrical. His brother was working as a bouncer in a local nightclub. Gray wasn’t old enough to get in at the time, but desperately wanted to know what all the fuss was about around this psychedelic light show brought in from San Francisco. The owner invited him to the bar one morning during setup. Gray took a close look at what he called a cool but simple set up, and immediately headed home to build his own lighting system that he and his buddies could play with. The club owner learned of Gray’s invention, bought it from him, hired him to create a number of other custom pieces of equipment, and eventually went into partnership with Gray in ownership of several clubs in the Prairies. That was the beginning, Gray said, noting their clubs hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry through the years. And before long, he found himself running a rehearsal studio and touring with a number of the big name performers. Eventually, he followed Jerry Doucette to B.C. for a show, and never left again. While Gray jokes that he’s never actually moved away from Calgary, he landed in the Lower Mainland in the late 1970s and never went home again – still today working on the production end of show with entertainers from his home in Langley. Tickets for the BCCMA awards are on sale at 604533-5088 for $38 per person. Tickets for the hall of fame night are $20 each via Bccountry.com.

Langley

Long-awaited Mufford Overpass opens to traffic Overpass is last of nine projects in Roberts Bank Rail Corridor LANGLEY — The longawaited Mufford Overpass got its official opening on Sept. 4, with local, provincial, and federal politicians hailing its completion. The overpass is also the final of nine projects that are part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project, which began in Langley. The Township had been lobbying for better ways to get traffic around and over the increasingly busy rail line that runs through Langley City, Milner and on through the Township. The Township would eventually contribute $9 million to the Mufford Overpass, as well as working with the City and Surrey on other nearby overpasses.

At the opening, Mayor Jack Froese said the new overpass will improve the way people travel for years to come. The overpass was not built without a great deal of controversy. It was delayed after the first design was rejected by the Agricultural Land Commission for paving over too much farmland. Both that design and the follow-up drew a considerable amount of criticism from Langley residents who worried about damage to farmland, the environment and whether it would actually alleviate traffic congestion. The overpass connects Mufford Crescent to Glover Road, over the rail lines. A three-way signalized

intersection with Glover Road allows drivers to turn right or left without having to wait for a break in the traffic, as was the case at the old intersection.

The structure itself will be owned and maintained by the Township going forward, though the project to build it was overseen by the provincial government.

Some work was still underway and expected to be finished in the coming months, including widening Glover Road to four lanes all the way from 64th

Avenue to the Langley Bypass. Parts of the overpass were not quite finished, including one lane from Mufford, and some of the sidewalks on the north side.

‘Farm school’ for out-of-school kids popular in Surrey Glenda Luymes

The Province Twitter @glendaluymes

SURREY — Instead of pencils and books, kids took up carrots and cucumbers Thursday at “farm school.” As the teachers’ strike dragged on last week, the fields and market at God’s Little Acre Farm in Surrey became a classroom for 30 students from across the Lower Mainland. “They’re having fun, but they’re also learning where their food comes from,” said Jas Singh, the farmer behind God’s Little Acre, which produces thousands of kilograms of produce each year for local food banks and soup kitchens. During the week-long farm camp, kids harvested carrots, washed veggies and set up the farm’s public market. They’ve also had time for field games, like hide-and-seek in the cornfield and dirt ball. Some of the food they’ve harvested will likely end up on their teachers’ dinner tables as it goes to a food bank run by the Surrey Teachers’ Association, said Singh. “I’m not involved in the politics, but I’m all about helping people who need food,” he explained. Students Addison Gill, 6, and Georgia

Kids with carrots at God’s Little Acre Farm in Surrey last week, in a photo posted at Facebook.com/GodsLittleAcreFarm. Dyck, 8, said it made them feel good to help others, although their favourite activities so far have been the rotten tomato toss and eating as many fresh-picked apples as they wished. “We’re going on a tractor ride next,” said Gill. Eight-year-old Brooke Smith and her

friend Isabelle Dyck, 10, burst into giggles as they recounted stepping into a muddy ditch during a game, but they were also excited about the 2,250 kilograms of carrots the group has picked so far this week. Volunteer co-ordinator Krishia Cousin said the camp has been a huge success, giving kids

a chance to learn about local food and help others, while having fun and making new friends. Cousin is an education-assistant for the Coquitlam school district. She has been volunteering weekly at God’s Little Acre through the summer. Along with several other volunteers, she helps to keep the camp running smoothly. Farm camp students pay $150 for a week of school, which runs the same hours as normal classes. They are asked to bring a lunch, although many just eat the fresh fruits and vegetables on offer. The farm hoped for another 150 registrants this week, which would help to make the operation debt-free after a particularly difficult season. Heavy rains in late spring flooded the farm’s potato and vegetable fields, washing away seedlings and putting the harvest weeks behind. The fields were eventually replanted, but not without cost. The God’s Little Acre market (at 16582 40th Ave.) has helped bring in extra funds, said Singh, but the farm relies on the generosity of others so that it can be generous with people who cannot pay for food. For camp details, contact Jas Singh at 604-375-1172 or visit Facebook.com/ GodsLittleAcreFarm.

WHITE ROCK — Johnson Road’s Blue Frog Studios has been a hotbed for cool blues bands in recent years, but among all of the veterans of the American-born music who have played White Rock’s most popular concert venue, few have instructional DVDs in their name. Until now, that is. American blues guitarist Kal David, who’s played alongside artists such as B.B. King, Etta James and Johnny Rivers (just to name a few), is performing four shows at Blue Frog

After teaching afternoon lessons at a club and subsequently encouraging his students to come and jam with him in the evenings, the guitarist, 71, began teaching a national guitar workshop based at six different campuses, including in Connecticut, Los Angeles, Chicago and Austin. “As a result of that experience, I put together what is called the Kal David Blues Guitar Master Class DVD Series,” David said. “It’s a long name but it pretty much explains what it is,” he added with a chuckle. David maintains he’s still wholeheartedly a performer, but his years of experience playing with “the greats” have taught him that he’s here to educate, too.

Millions of small acts. One big win for our environment. By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)

The success of our system for recycling beverage containers proves that millions of small acts can add up to a big win for the environment. Whether it’s aluminum cans, juice boxes, cartons, or glass and plastic bottles, if you are a typical BC resident, you probably generate four or five empty beverage containers a week. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but do the math and it adds up to hundreds of millions of empty beverage containers a year that would end up in the landfill, if British Columbians like you hadn’t returned those containers for recycling. In fact, last year almost 1 billion used beverage containers were returned for deposit and processed into new products. That includes more than 360 million aluminum cans, 338 million plastic bottles, 195 million glass bottles and 71 million drink boxes and cartons. In total nearly 100,000 metric tons of material was kept out of BC’s landfills. If you find it hard to imagine what that means, then consider that it is the equivalent weight of 60,000 midsized cars. That’s right, the equivalent of 60,000 cars was removed from BC’s landfills, a few cans, bottles and cartons at a time. But that’s not the only benefit for BC. Recycling empty containers uses less energy than producing new ones.

The equivalent of 60,000 cars was removed from BC’s landfills, a few cans, bottles and cartons at a time. For example, used aluminum cans are turned into new cans, a process that uses only 5% of the energy it takes to make new aluminum. Drink boxes and cartons are pulped and made into tissue and cardboard, saving 17 trees for every ton of paper ﬁber produced. Plastic bottles are 100 percent recyclable for use in new plastic containers, and glass bottles are made into new bottles and sandblasting material. As a result, the recycling of beverage containers contributed to a reduction of 135,000 tons of carbon dioxide that otherwise would have gone into BC’s atmosphere. Keeping with the driving theme, that’s the equivalent of taking 39,000 cars off the road in BC every year. BC has one of the highest beverage container recycling rates in North America – last year 80

Nearly 100,000 metric tons of material was kept out of BC’s landfills. percent of all beverage containers sold in BC were returned and recycled. One reason for the high recovery rate is the many options that British Columbians have for returning their containers. The Return-It™ network of over 170 depots across the province is the heart of the system, collecting over 90 percent of recycled containers. Their share of returns continues to grow, in part because today’s depots are consumer friendly, clean, bright and open with large sorting tables. It is also because today many depots accept a wide range of products for recycling, making them a convenient one-stop location for your recycling needs. For example, over 90 percent of Return-It Depots accept consumer electronics, like computers, TVs and printers, for recycling. Many also accept small appliances, paint, light bulbs and more. For hotels, ofﬁces, restaurants and multi-family buildings, many Return-It Depots and specialized mobile collectors offer a pick-up program, primarily in the Metro Vancouver area. If you live in a townhouse, condominium or apartment, look for the Encorp or Return-It branded collection bins in the garbage or recycling area of your building. ADVERTORIAL

For recycling ‘on the go’, you may have noticed blue beverage container bins in various neighbourhoods in the City of Vancouver. These bins are non-locking and designed to be self-serviced by residents or people wanting to receive the deposit refund attached to the containers deposited in the bins. This successful program is now expanding to other Metro Vancouver areas and to towns around BC. Even with this extensive system, though, BC would not have one of the highest recycling rates in North America without consumers making the decision to do the right thing for the environment. That amounts to almost 3 million containers a day diverted from landﬁlls to be made into new products – a lot of small acts adding up to a lot of good for BC.

Church band inspired Surrey-raised member of ByStarlight Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — The band ByStarlight didn’t make it onto the 604 Records label by copying what their peers were doing. The electro-pop three-piece – which includes Rachel Ashmore, Nigel Crowe and former Surrey resident Jeff Zipp – made it on to the label responsible for Marianas Trench and Carly Rae Jepsen because the group was putting out music that was all its own. At least that’s what Crowe says of the band. “It’s sort of deep-rooted in going against the grain, which is odd because this is now kind of the popular genre,” Crowe told the Now. “When I was playing music in high school and picking up a guitar, I was playing a lot of pop-punk like Gob and Blink-182 back then,

and other kids were like ‘Led Zeppelin only! New music sucks!’ I was kind of like ‘Screw you, I’m going to play what’s interesting to me.’ Do you think Led Zeppelin just tried to do what the people they listened to had done? No, they were trying to move music forward so I’ve always had this idea of doing what was fresh and new with music, not doing what my inspiration has done because they’ve already done it.” Zipp – who is a newer addition to the band, stepping in for Tavish Crowe, Nigel’s brother, who joined in on Jepsen’s touring band and was responsible for penning half of Jepsen’s hit song “Call Me Maybe” – agrees with the sentiment that he’s not out to follow suit with any kind of retro-revival group. “I don’t care about the genre, I just want to write,” he said.

Electro-pop band ByStarlight includes Surrey-raised Jeff Zipp (left), Nigel Crowe (middle) and Rachel Ashmore. The trio spent the summer crafting a new album. Their debut album, Antics, came out just one year ago, and they put out a video for their poppy tune “Love Me Love Me” in March. Put all of that on top of each of the members’ music production careers and it’s easy to see that the band has been busy.

All three members work in music production and wanted to see ByStarlight turn into a “career band”– making it unmistakably clear that whether it’s audio engineering other bands or jumping full-time into their own, Ashmore, Crowe and Zipp are all deeply entrenched in Vancouver’s

music scene. “What we’re focusing on now is releasing song after song as it comes, almost like stream of consciousness,” said Zipp, noting that in today’s social media-steeped landscape, listeners want to hear it all instantly. “When you do a whole album, it’s hard to get inspired by songs, you know, two years after you’ve written them.” Crowe also jumped in to say the band is slowly finding its own footing in the pop genre, and trying to shy away from giving themselves any creatively restrictive deadlines. “We’re trying a lot of different things, we don’t want to have that sort of bubble-gum pop, we’re kind of maturing within pop and finding new directions,” he said. Zipp isn’t quick to forget

his Surrey roots. “I went to church every single Sunday, and I didn’t like just sitting around watching (the church band) do their thing on stage. I figured, I’m not just interested in sitting here, maybe I’ll take up an instrument and get up there. That was kind of what bridged me into playing in front of people, and I realized how much fun it was and then I joined church bands. And from there I ended up meeting other bands in Surrey that kind of knew the same people, and that was kind of the big musical family that I had known back then, and from there I always wanted more.” Zipp now lives in Vancouver. “It was time for me to say I’ve done what I can here in Surrey, let’s see what else there is,” he said.

Musician Comeau can’t be pigeonholed Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

WHITE ROCK — It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what genre of music Gary Comeau identifies with, as onethird of singer-songwriter folk trio Cannery Row and frontman of the band Gary Comeau and the Voodoo Allstars. Hailing from Nova Scotia, the Acadian musician plays piano, accordion, fiddle and guitar – just to name a few – but has been revered as a southern-influenced artist playing the B.C. circuit for the past 35 years. While Comeau and his band have been called everything from Zydeco blues to Latin-jazz fusion, the multiinstrumentalist and singer says those terms don’t exactly fit. “Actually, you know, because we play all different styles of music, I call it ‘gumbo music,’” Comeau told the Now over the phone in a husky rasp earned by playing smoky bars for nearly four decades. “It has its roots in Louisiana but it’s got its roots in Mississippi and the Caribbean sounds of Cuba (with)

the instruments that I play. I play a bunch of different ones; the Louisiana fiddle, the mandolin has a blues element to it, the piano, the Latin part of what I do…” Gary Comeau It may be easiest to liken Comeau’s music to that which you might imagine hearing on the Bayou or at a Mardi Gras gig, and while southern influence runs through much of his music, the man has to give a nod to his heritage in French Nova Scotia. “Where that connection is for me, because I’m a French Acadian, from the French part of Nova Scotia off the Bay of Fundy, that’s all part of the Louisiana thing of the expulsion of the Acadians way back in the history books, when the English came in and took over that area and sent all the French people away.” So if you’re listening to Comeau’s music while imagining going on a gator-hunting expedition, you wouldn’t exactly be wrong in doing so, but it’s not

the whole picture. “It’s quite bigger than that – it’s not a Cajun band and it’s not a Zydeco band, so that’s why I just call it gumbo music,” he said. Something else you won’t be able to expect when Comeau and the Voodoo Allstars play their next gig, at Peninsula Productions’ season-opening concert in White Rock: a pre-planned set list. “We never use a set list, usually,” Comeau said of himself and his band, which includes Tim Hearsey, Chris Nordquist, Rob Becker and Jerry Cook. “It’s like conversation… if we speak the same language then it’s a lot easier for us to have a conversation. The people that I play with, we have this terminology and we have this language and we’re always listening and because the music changes all the time. Sometimes I’ll be in one song and I’ll just go to another one.” Comeau and his band perform at White Rock’s First United Church on Saturday, Sept. 27. Local twins Alanna and Brianne will open the concert, which starts at 8 p.m. To buy tickets, visit Peninsulaproductions.org – $25 in advance or $30 at the door.

SURREY — A Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) instructor is spearheading a university-based documentary film festival and, with the help of the long-established Vancouver International Film Festival, the film fest — called KDocs — initiative is getting a little kick. Janice Morris, who’s been teaching English at KPU since 2006, sparked up interest in doing a Kwantlen-related documentary film festival, and the first one on the radar is The Price We Pay. The first will be launching the initiative at Vancity Theatre in conjunction with VIFF on Oct. 5. “The Price We Pay is very timely,” Morris said.“Kwantlen, like all educational institutions and the students see › page 43

and faculty that work there, are very geared toward relevant, timely issues of socialeconomic justice,” Morris told the Now. “So this is right in our daily wick of what KDocs is most concerned with, which is a critical view of our world.” Morris, along with former colleague Helen Mendes, started a KPU-related documentary film series in 2012, forming the Miss Representation Action Group after screening the documentary Miss Representation at the university’s Surrey campus. Though the group has since disbanded, Morris wanted to continue the dialogue sparked by the initiative. “What came out of the screenings and townhall sessions we ran was a critical examination of our communities, our world and ourselves,” said Morris in an earlier release. “We had students, faculty and members of the public discussing with filmmakers each film’s themes, how they relate to us and how the issues raised in the docs could be collectively addressed.” The Vancity Theatre event would be a oneoff inauguration party, with hopes for a daylong documentary film festival in the spring. “The idea as we go forward is to have a fullon festival,” said Morris. “Right now, this is… kind of like a showpiece and it’s intended to put us on the map and launch us.”

The idea, said Morris, is for KDocs to operate like any other film festival, showcasing world-class documentaries, and also including the work of its own students. “We would love to become a vehicle for students to launch and showcase their own work,” Morris admitted. “Otherwise, like every other film festival, we’ll be screening great documentaries.” VIFF, which was looking to partner with an educational institution for the duration of the festival, is applauding Morris’ plan. “We’re delighted that KPU is taking this initiative,” said Alan Franey, director of programming for VIFF, in a release. “The Price We Pay provides profound insight into a very important subject that every citizen should be concerned with,” he said. “Cinema is such a valuable educational tool, and yet it sometimes requires real imagination and initiative on behalf of parents and educators to steer young audiences towards the good stuff.” KPU’s KDocs event at Vancity Theatre in Vancouver starts at 4 p.m. on Oct. 5 with a welcome reception, followed by the film screening and a question-and-answer period with the film’s director, Harold Crooks, at 6:15 p.m. Dinner and reception will follow the event. The event is free and open to the public, but interested guests must register for this limited-seating occasion at Kpu.com/kdocs.

HOMES Tips

Ten great ways to decorate a student’s dorm Barb Lunter

North Shore News Twitter @barblunter

t’s that time of year again for the older students to head off to university. Some have departed but there are still a few waiting to begin a little later. If your student has moved into his or her dorm or is in the process, you may be searching for a few dorm-decorating ideas to spruce up the usual drab space they will dwell in for the next eight months. Here are 10 of my favorite ideas I have seen that can be planned ahead and executed in a relatively easy fashion. You should have no problem purchasing the items in other countries if your student is studying abroad. 1. Rearrange the space: Once you step into the dorm room, think about the different ways you are able to rearrange the furniture. Often the room is cleaned and left in a haphazard state. Beds and desks can usually be moved in and around the space as long as the doorway is not blocked. 2. Think vertical: In most cases these rooms are very small. In order to maximize the space for efficient movement in and

around it may be a good idea to purchase some wall shelving or vertical stacking units that can be placed on the desk for organizing. 3. Don’t over purchase: This is one of the first mistakes most students and parents make when planning to decorate a dorm room. It’s important to just arrive with the basics and then settle in the room a bit before purchasing all the little items you may think you need. 4. Bed risers: These are critical if your dorm bed is only inches from the floor. These risers are placed under the bed legs to raise the bed high enough for storage bins to be placed underneath. Many stores carry these but Bed Bath Beyond carries good ones for $20. 5. Establish a colour theme: Many kids like to go bold with colour because the walls in their dorm room are usually white or beige. Alternatively, an all white or cream theme is nice for a girl’s room. Combine both white and beige accessories to give the room a serene and calm feel. 6. Purchase a rug: I’m not saying an expensive one but one that will warm up the floors on a cold, wet day. Dorm room floors are usually cold and bare and there’s

Ease your student’s transition to dorm life by ensuring they have a few comforts of home. From family photos to cosy decor, they’ll soon relax in their new space. (Photo: CINDY GOODMAN) something nice about getting out of bed and putting your feet on a nice rug. Look for inexpensive ones at Ikea and other department stores like Home Depot. Usually a three-by-five or four-by-six foot is perfect. 7. Decorate the bare walls: Photos of your summer holidays, wall decals and posters are all great ways to add colour and interest to the dorm walls. One great idea is to have your favorite summer photos transferred to canvas. A collage of four or five grouped together is a nice way to decorate a bare wall.

8. Ease homesickness: I’ve always liked the idea of photos of family and friends decorating a small space on the desk. This is a great way to ward off any homesickness that may pop up and put a smile on a tired and worn-out student. 9. Poufs: No, not the powder pouf kind, but the soft, round, pillowlike furniture pieces that can double as a side table beside the bed as well as a footstool or coffee table. These lightweight, versatile little pieces are wonderful in dorm rooms for visitors to sit on and just to add a little colour to the room. 10. Foliage: Lastly, if the university or college will permit it, a nice plant is always appreciated. Plants and flowers have a wonderful way of adding life to a small room and making the space feel warm and a little like home. But check with the dorm rules before going out and purchasing an expensive plant. Succulents are a good choice for their ability to hold water for long periods of time. Watering a plant isn’t always on the student’s top priority list. Barb Lunter is a freelance writer with a passion for home decor, entertaining and floral design. Email barb@lunter.ca lunter.ca.

PGA Tour Canada win worth $27K for Hazelmere’s Williams Brad Ziemer

Vancouver Sun Twitter @bradziemer

VANCOUVER — Ryan Williams was more into slap shots than chip shots as a kid. Hockey was his first love in North Delta, and Williams played at a high level with teams like the Surrey Eagles and Richmond Sockeyes. It wasn’t until his hockey career ended that Williams got serious about golf. He became a teaching pro and then, in his mid-20s, began to play competitively, toiling for several years on the former Canadian Tour and Vancouver Golf Tour. On Sunday, all that hard work paid off for Williams, who earned his biggest win as a pro. The 33-year-old Vancouver resident made four birdies on the back nine to capture the PGA Tour Canada seasonending Tour Championship in London, Ont. “A lot of hard work over the last six years helped get me here today,” said Williams, who plays out of Hazelmere Golf Course in Surrey. “I’m still a little bit in shock right now. It’s very, very rewarding to get a win here in the last event.” The win was worth $27,000 to Williams, who closed with a four-under 68 to finish

at 14-under par and beat his Langley buddy Adam Cornelson and American Clayton Rask by one shot. That big cheque moved Williams from 39th to sixth on the money list. He missed finishing in the top five and earning a partial Web.com Tour exemption by just $3,000, but Williams insisted he was not disappointed about that. Players finishing sixth through 10th on the money list do earn a pass to the final stage of the Web.com Tour qualifying school this fall. “There is absolutely no disappointment whatsoever,” Williams said. “I was 39th coming into this and if you told me I could move to sixth and get an exemption into final stage. I would have taken that. This is fantastic. To win the Tour Championship is a pretty awesome accomplishment for me and now that I know I am going to the finals, I am able to plan my schedule accordingly and go down there early and scout the course out.” Last year, Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor finished seventh on the PGA Tour Canada money list and used his pass to the Q school finals to play his way onto the Web. com Tour. Williams’ longtime coach, Phil Jonas, thinks he can go all the way to the PGA Tour. “Ryan has worked and persevered,”

Golfer Ryan Williams, seen here in a photo from Ryanwilliamsgolf.com, was raised in Surrey and North Delta. Jonas said Sunday. “He has a great upside because he is relatively new to golf. I think he can win on the PGA Tour. He’s one of the best drivers of a golf ball I have ever seen. He hits it long and straight, which makes golf courses easy.” Sunday’s win ends a roller-coaster

Grand oPeninG

type season for Williams, who had high expectations after cleaning up on the Vancouver Golf Tour this spring. But he missed the first two cuts at events in Vancouver and Victoria and missed five more along the way. Most of them were by a single shot. “Today made all those missed cuts all worthwhile now,” Williams said. “You hate missing cuts, especially out here because the season is so short, but I kept telling myself that when I have made it to the weekend I have been pretty successful.” Williams chipped in for birdie on the 13th hole and made a birdie on 17 to tie Rask and Cornelson at 14-under. He won the tournament with a three-foot putt for par on the 18th green after Cornelson and Rask both bogeyed the final hole. Williams is just the second Canadian to win on the 12-event PGA Tour Canada circuit this year. Fellow British Columbian Greg Machtaler, of Summerland, won the tour’s Ottawa stop earlier this summer. In addition to his $27,000 cheque, Williams earned a $10,000 bonus Sunday by winning the Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Year Award. That award goes to the top Canadian on the money list.

Eagles ready to take flight with many local players Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @KBBenning

SURREY — With a bunch of changes, including a buyout and a new head coach, the Surrey Eagles are ready to start the 2014/15 season. Blaine Neufeld, who is taking the reins in his first British Columbia Hockey League game on Friday (Sept. 19), has been busy building a team of local talent. “The group is coming together really quickly here, and in terms of getting to know one another, we do have a core of local guys,” the coach said. The Eagles will take on Penticton Friday evening before their second regular season game against Salmon Arm on Sunday. Both games will be played at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack for the BCHL’s season-opening showcase. Of Surrey’s 21-man roster, six players are from outside of the province, with the majority of players coming from Surrey and White Rock.

“Everybody’s very familiar with the BCHL and familiar with the Eagles organization. There hasn’t been too much of a learning curve. “You kind of skip the, ‘Hey. Who are you?’ stage with a bunch of kids who are coming in from out of town. Once a kid gets comfortable, then they really start opening up,” said Neufeld. The Eagles listed 13 players to its roster with BCHL rookie status, but only three of them are 16 years old. The former Vancouver Giants goaltender said members of the squad are getting behind each other and they have a very positive vibe entering the season opener. “There’s a lot of support for one another,” Neufeld said. “Everybody seems to have everybody’s back, which is crucial in junior hockey.” Neufeld said the team has nearly sold out its home opener on Sept. 26.

Your journey starts here.

It’s made for the explorer-style road-trip Environment:

Outback: the name conjures up a desiccated, heat-stroked landscape of dust and scrubby shrubs, with perhaps a single bleached sheep skull lying on the ground, a home for some highly poisonous spider or snake. Strewth, that’s some seriously kangaroo-infested terrain you’ve got to cross there. However, this vehicle is not so much a desert explorer as it is a denizen of the rainforest. They should have called it the Subaru Damp. For more than two decades, the Outback has been a sort of anti-SUV, providing all the capacity of a large wagon with a little extra ground clearance, with the side bonus of some sweet two-tone paintwork. Okay, so maybe that last part was more questionable than attractive. Even with Forester sales doing very well, the Outback is an important car for Subaru, and now there’s a new one. Time to see if it’s fair dinkum, or a bit of a dingo.

Design:

In the mid-2000s, the Legacy was probably the best-looking Subaru that the company produced (admittedly, they aren’t known for building beauties). The car that followed was somewhat chunky, but some of the svelte shape has come back: the Outback’s a pretty handsome-looking rig up front. The plastic trimmings around the base of the car are all you get to indicate a rugged nature – no more two-tone paint – and the raised suspension still doesn’t make this car as tall as most crossovers. There are integrated, swingout crossboars for carrying kayaks and the like, and they’re actually reachable. The only demerit that might be offered is that Subaru’s new corporate grille is remarkably similar to that found on most Hyundais. It makes the Outback a little less distinctive that it was before.

What’s more, that raised suspension does contribute to more than a bit of body roll, meaning that hustling the Outback along a curving road is a bit of a chore. Grip is plentiful and everything feels nice and safe, but this is not the Outback’s natural habitat.

On the inside, things get even less Subaru-y, and that’s a good thing. In the company’s model hierarchy, the Outback actually sits slightly above the Forester, something you can immediately tell as soon as you step into the Outback’s interior.

Don’t be put off, this is a very amiable car to drive. It simply favours a different driving style, the kind that has you pull over every second time you see a historical marker, to check it out and take a picture or two. It’s made for the explorer-style road-trip, rather than hammering down the highway to make time.

The cabin trimmings are very nicely finished, with brushed metal or a matte-finish wood that’s very classy, and fit and finish appear very good. It’s uncomplicated but upscale, and there is a bit of that two-tone nature available: tan seats come with black carpets so you don’t mark them up with muddy boots.

Speaking of the highway, here it is very comfortable indeed, soaking up bumps with that soft suspension. There is a little more windnoise above 80km/h than expected, but it’s a much quieter car than almost any other Subaru has been. The CVT keeps engine revs low, and you just cruise on to your destination, getting decent fuel economy.

The front seats are quite comfortable, and the rears have plenty of space. Subaru calls their sunroof panoramic, but it’s smaller than you’d find in older Outbacks, although that does mean more headroom for rear passengers. In the very back of the Outback, there’s a whacking great trunk, one that comes with all sorts of optional accessories including a divider so you can keep your pooch from clambering over the seats. The space is approximately 75cm tall, and just over a metre wide between the wheelwells.

When you get there, should the last few miles be gravel or sand, the Outback is as ridiculously capable as you’d expect from a Subaru. I drove it out through drifts of soft sand on the coast of Oregon and it wasn’t fazed in the slightest.

Features:

Performance:

The Outback is available with Subaru’s new Starlink infotainment system, which is just as intuitive as any other on the market, and maybe even easier to use. It works with pinch-and-swipe gestures just like a smartphone, and is easy to navigate through the various menus. You also get a small display in the instrument cluster which repeats navigation directions.

Two engines are on offer for the Outback, either the ubiquitous 2.5L flat-four, or the smooth 3.6L flat-six. The latter makes 256hp at 6000rpm, and now comes bolted to a continuously variable transmission for a little more fuel economy and even smoother operation. The 175hp 2.5i also gets bolted to a CVT except where Canadians are concerned – we have at least the option of choosing a six-speed manual. However, most Outbacks will leave the showroom with the 2.5 and the CVT, so that’s how I drove it.

Also handy for exploration is the availability of quad heated seats and plenty of USB and 12v power outlets for all sorts of mobile devices. There are enough cubbies to more than adequately outfit your expedition.

It’s hard, at first, to believe that the Outback shares any DNA with the WRX it’s likely parked beside in the showroom. This is a big, relatively heavy car (2000kg), so 175hp is just adequate in terms of acceleration. If there’s a short passing space on a winding country road, it might not have quite enough gumption to take advantage of a small gap.

The Outback has legs too. Official fuel economy ratings are at 9.4L/100kms in-city and 7.1L/100kms highway, and real-world testing saw figures in the mid-6L/100kms. With a 70L fuel tank, that’s plenty of range for your adventures.

Freeway Mazda Number One in Canada

By Tracey Rayson If there is one constant that drives consumer devotion in the auto industry, it’s customer satisfaction. At Surrey’s Freeway Mazda, one block east of Guildford Town Centre, the dealership is a perennial leader in consumers’ mind in three key focus areas: products, sales, and comprehensive after-sales service. Recognized for the third time this year, Freeway Mazda has earned the distinction by

Customer Satisfaction on Track in Surrey refreshing Zoom-Zoom spirit and proven commitment to the joy of driving, providing an ownership experience that exceeds customer expectations in all areas of the dealership. Factory-trained technicians oversee the service department, the place to get a reliable supply of Mazda parts, guaranteed, convenient, and expert service at a fair and competitive price. “We are one of the only service departments open until 8:00 p.m. and that’s just a testament to answering our customer’s needs,” says Mullins. “The response has been hugely successful;

customers love it!” As the largest dealership in Surrey and one of the

Warren Mullins - General Sales Manger largest facilities in the Lower Mainland, Freeway Mazda carries a new car inventory of $4,000,000 (approximately 200 vehicles) and $1,000,000 used (approximately 50), in addition to the compound across the street, which holds an excess inventory upwards of 120 cars. The Canadian Automotive Jury (CAJ) named the 2014 Mazda3 compact the winner of the fifth annual ‘Best of the Best’ award, another strong indicator that Mazda continues to “build cars that distill the essence of fun to drive and capture people’s imagination,” coupled with outstanding environmental and safety performance. Referred to as a game changer, Mullins says two things set the Mazda3 apart: style and Skyactiv technology. The automaker’s family of engines offers better fuel economy and emissions reductions making it one of the most economical and eco-friendly cars on the market today. Further proof that Freeway Mazda is customer centred, they rank number two in Canada for their Owner Loyalty Program. “It’s designed to show our appreciation for every existing and repeat Mazda customer with a loyalty incentive for their continued patronage,” reveals Mullins. “Our biggest challenge is to make sure we continue to do what we are doing, as opposed to growing what we’re doing.” Mazda has become the manufacturer they are today because they do not see challenges as obstacles, but as the road forward.

Based on data acquired from customer satisfaction surveys, the reports measure the approval and effectiveness of the sales process and new car-buying experience. “As the largest Mazda dealership in Surrey, we’re proud to be recognized for taking care of our customers in a way that keeps them happy and satisfied,” says Warren Mullins, General Sales Manager. “Our customers keep coming back and we maintain a strong contingent of referrals, which is beneficial for our business long-term.” The dealership is evaluated on strict criteria on the overall purchase experience of a new vehicle: level of enthusiasm, product knowledge, and level of professionalism, just to name a few. With a 10-year anniversary under their belt (opened April 2003), Mullins credits the dealerships’ success to his staff of 40, a young, enthusiastic, talented and knowledgeable team, including eight sales members and two sales managers, all licensed product advisors. Mullins refers to his sales team as consultants, in part because the term “car salesmen” conjures up old school tactics when the industry didn’t always

have the consumers’ best interest in mind. “We make sure our customers buy the car that’s right for them, not the car that’s right for us.” “Our sales consultants are here to help find the product the customer is looking for with the highest quality of service in a low-pressure environment; the experience will feel as easy-going as purchasing a new pair of shoes,” admits Mullins. “Our consultants help the consumer become educated on the different models and packages we offer.” Mullins further explains the philosophy behind their culture. “Our people are our biggest asset and we are very particular on who we hire. They’re required to fit the same mold with the same beliefs that we adhere to — they must treat our customers with dignity and respect, possess a certain magic that allows them to understand people’s needs, and make our customers feel comfortable. For instance, Tommy Li is my longest standing employee, he started before the doors opened, even helped put the furniture together; he’s a wealth of knowledge and there are customers who return just for him.” Freeway Mazda ensures uncompromising quality customer service with their distinctively

With more than 130 international awards and citations to its credit, the Mazda3 continues to separate itself from the traffic jam in the compact car segment. The most significant awards include Best Car Under $21,000 for two years running from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada and Best Car Over $21,000 by the same group for 2014. Road Track magazine put it on its Best of Everything list and Car and Driver included it in its 10 Best Cars for 2014, while the Motor Press Guild called it the Innovation Vehicle of the Year. With credentials like these, it’s no surprise that the Mazda3 has become the darling of the automotive press and a clear winner among people who appreciate great value and performance. And speaking of value, Kelley Blue Book, a leading provider of new and used car information, recently named the Mazda brand as having the best residual value across the entire model line. The all-new, third generation Mazda3 builds heavily on the success of the previous model. While the family resemblance is very clear, the new model is built on an entirely new, wider, lighter and more rigid SkyActiv platform, shared with the Mazda5 and CX-5. This allows for a longer wheelbase (2700 mm. up from 2640 mm.), creating additional space for the cabin and engine compartment. But the most important dimension

is the width of 2052 mm. (80.7 in.). This is a whopping 300 mm. (12.0 in.) wider than the Honda Civic and 276 mm. (11.0 in.) wider than the Toyota Corolla. The result is an airy cabin with the kind of legroom and shoulder room you’d more likely find in a mid-size sedan. And remember, too, that the Mazda3 Sport comes in hatchback form (not offered by Civic or Corolla) with even more interior space. While overall length remains the same, the car’s wider stance, lower roof line and longer hood, give it a more lean and athletic look. It’s a better expression of Mazda’s “Kodo” design philosophy that is meant to evoke the vitality of a wild animal in motion. A more restrained five-point grille replaces the rather guppy-like mouth of the previous model with five horizontal bars flanked by neatly integrated Halogen automatic headlights and fog lamps. The longer hood allows for shapelier fenders and a swooping bodyline that sweeps over the front wheel wells, under the glasshouse and over the rear wheel wells. The new look combines a look of power with sophistication. It’s really all about the drive. The 2014 Mazda3 takes ride, handling and responsiveness to another level, thanks to the lighter, more rigid platform and longer wheelbase. While most vehicles come with a certain amount of understeer (when the front end tends to drift out on long sweeping corners, requiring you to dial in additional steering), the Mazda3 carves an accurate

GO! In concert

Comeau can’t be pigeonholed Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

WHITE ROCK — It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what genre of music Gary Comeau identifies with, as one-third of singersongwriter folk trio Cannery Row and frontman of the band Gary Comeau and the Voodoo Allstars. Hailing from Nova Scotia, the Acadian musician plays piano, accordion, fiddle and guitar – just to name a few – but has been revered as a southern-influenced artist playing B.C.’s Lower Mainland circuit for the past 35 years. While Comeau and his band have been called everything from Zydeco blues to Latinjazz fusion, the multi-instrumentalist and singer says those terms don’t exactly hit the nail on the head. “Actually, you know, because we play all different styles of music, I call it ‘gumbo music,’” Comeau told the Now over the phone in a husky rasp earned by playing smoky bars for nearly four decades. “It has its roots in Louisiana but it’s got its roots in Mississippi and the Caribbean sounds of Cuba (with) the instruments that I play. I play a bunch of different ones; the Louisiana fiddle, the mandolin has a blues element to it, the piano, the Latin part of what I do…” It may be easiest to liken Comeau’s music to that which you might imagine hearing on the Bayou or at a Mardi Gras gig, and while southern influence runs through much of his music, the man has to give a nod to his heritage in French Nova Scotia. “Where that connection is for me, because I’m a French Acadian, from the French part of Nova Scotia off the Bay of Fundy, that’s all part of the Louisiana thing of the expulsion of the Acadians way back in the history books, when the English came in and took over that area and sent all the French people away,” he said. So if you’re listening to Comeau’s music while imagining going on a gator-hunting expedition, you wouldn’t exactly be wrong in doing so, but it’s not the whole picture. “It’s quite bigger than that – it’s not a

(File photo: GORD GOBLE) Cajun band and it’s not a Zydeco band, so that’s why I just call it gumbo music,” he said. “When you think about the music, it’s kind of American roots music, but it still has, where I grew up in Nova Scotia, it still has that element of an East Coast flavour to it.” Something else you won’t be able to expect when Comeau and the Voodoo Allstars play their next gig, at Peninsula Productions’ season-opening concert in White Rock: a pre-planned set list. “We never use a set list, usually,” Comeau said of himself and his band, which includes Tim Hearsey, Chris Nordquist, Rob Becker and Jerry Cook. “It’s like conversation… if we speak the same language then it’s a lot easier for us to have a conversation. The people that I play with, we have this terminology and we have this language and we’re always listening and because the music changes all the time. Sometimes I’ll be in one song and I’ll just go to another one.” Comeau and his band perform at White Rock’s First United Church on Saturday, Sept. 27. Local twins Alanna and Brianne will open the concert, which starts at 8 p.m. To buy tickets, visit Peninsulaproductions. org – $25 in advance or $30 at the door. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

GO! Film festival

KDocs festival to be launched Oct. 5 with ‘very timely’ film Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — A Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) instructor is spearheading a university-based documentary film festival and, with the help of the long-established Vancouver International Film Festival, the film fest — called KDocs — initiative is getting a little kick. Janice Morris, who’s been teaching English at KPU since 2006, sparked up interest in doing a Kwantlen-related documentary film festival. The first one on the radar is The Price We Pay, which will be launching the initiative at Vancity Theatre in conjunction with VIFF on Oct. 5. “The Price We Pay is very timely,” Morris said.“Kwantlen, like all educational institutions and the students and faculty that work there, are very geared toward relevant, timely issues of social-economic justice,” Morris told the Now.“So this is right in our daily wick of what KDocs is most concerned with, which is a critical view of our world.” Morris, along with former colleague Helen

Mendes, started a KPU-related documentary film series in 2012, forming the Miss Representation Action Group after screening the documentary Miss Representation at the university’s Surrey campus. Though the group has since disbanded, Morris wanted to continue the dialogue sparked by the initiative. “What came out of the screenings and townhall sessions we ran was a critical examination of our communities, our world and ourselves,” said Morris in an earlier release. The Vancity Theatre event would be a one-off inauguration party, with hopes for a day-long documentary film festival in the spring. The idea, said Morris, is for KDocs to operate like any other film festival, showcasing world-class documentaries and also including the work of its own students. KPU’s KDocs event at Vancity Theatre in Vancouver starts at 4 p.m. on Oct. 5 with a welcome reception, followed by the film screening and a question-and-answer period with the film’s director, Harold Crooks. The event is free and open to the public, but interested guests must register for this limitedseating occasion at Kpu.com/kdocs.
