No money for new schools in Langley Willoughby schools are overcrowded, and the province has no money this year for new construction Matthew Claxton

WILLOUGHBY — While schools in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood are already bursting at the seams, the provincial government has said there is no money for building new schools this year at all. Trustees expressed shock and disappointment and planned to continue lobbying for funds for the fast-growing area. Normally, the Ministry of Education requires every school district in B.C. to send in a five-year plan annually to give a listing of new schools, additions and other construction that might be needed. In July, a letter from the ministry said that won’t be necessary, due to a change in the computer software used to evaluate the plans.
For Langley, this means that it will be at least another year before its urgent need for new school construction in Willoughby can even be considered. Some of the current and near-future issues of overcrowding were outlined by district Secretary Treasurer David Green for the board Tuesday. Both the newly-opened Yorkson Middle School and R.E. Mountain Secondary are already over capacity. Currently, Yorkson has 794 students and its official capacity is 750. R.E. Mountain, which will see a reduction in its student numbers this year due to Yorkson’s opening, is at 888 with a capacity of 725. Assuming all residential construction stopped and there was absolutely no population growth or new children, there are so many elementary students already in the region that both schools would face increasing pressures over the next five years. By 2020, Yorkson would have 1,018 students and R.E. Mountain would have 1,140. Based on current population expectations, the situation is worse, with Yorkson hitting 1,343 students and R.E. Mountain at 1,455 by 2020. That would put Mountain at double its actual capacity.
Both schools are expected to rely heavily on portables in the near future; three portables were installed at the Yorkson site before construction had even finished. Langley’s five-year plan calls for three new elementary schools and a new secondary school for Willoughby. The district would also like to expand R.C. Garnett Elementary. The expansions are needed despite the fact that three schools have opened in the past three years in the Willoughby neighbourhood. The Ministry of Education is also asking districts to contribute 50 per cent of capital costs, Green said. “Asking us to come up with 50 per cent of the cost is unrealistic,” said Chair Wendy Johnson. The only way the district could finance that would be the sale of properties it has now. “My sense is that there’s no capital money that’s been assigned to the Ministry of Education,” said Green. “This is really disappointing,” said Trustee Megan Dykeman. She suggested the district needs to lobby for the use of modular schools, already built in Alberta, to rapidly create new school buildings.
Trustee Rod Ross called it a “crisis” and said he was shocked. Enrolment in the R.E. Mountain catchment, which covers most of Willoughby, was up about 300 students this year, according to an early count. Another recommendation for the area is to possibly relocate Willoughby Elementary and sell the existing property at the corner of 208th Street and 80th Avenue. The district has been receiving expressions of interest from developers, and Green’s report recommended looking into the idea. “It’s a valuable piece of property,” he said. However, it’s not valuable enough that it would pay for the entire cost of buying new land and building a new school, Green noted. The district is expected to start consulting with parents in the area as soon as this week about proposed changes, starting with small meetings with a few parents from each school and expanding to a public process. The trustees voted to send in physical copies of their five-year plan as a tool to draw provincial attention, with copies heading to both MLAs from Langley, to Education Minister Peter Fassbender, and to Premier Christy Clark.

TWU prez on coast-to-coast motorcycle ride for charity LANGLEY — Not many people can say they have travelled by motorcycle across Canada, to the four corners of North America and around the world. Trinity Western University President Bob Kuhn is an exception. Having embarked on several longdistance motorcycle trips to raise awareness and funding for Parkinson’s disease, Kuhn has a passion for adventure – but also for making a difference. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in January 2006, Kuhn has remained an active and committed advocate for Parkinson’s disease. In addition to completing several motorcycle trips for the cause, he also speaks regularly on the subject and uses his blog, Positively Parkinson’s (Positivelyparkinsons.blogspot. ca), as a way to encourage and connect with others suffering from Parkinson’s disease. “Parkinson’s disease is one that robs people of their confidence,” Kuhn said. “In place of a firm hand grip, we find ourselves with uncontrollable tremor and weakened muscles. We avoid the limelight and any undue attention because it focuses on our symptoms. Whereas we once felt strong, secure and ready to take on any challenge,
TWU President Bob Kuhn (foreground) and pal Andrew Westlund are on a 2,400-mile motorcycle ride for charity this week. now we often feel inadequate and overwhelmed, just trying to get a spoonful of soup to our lips or carry a cup of coffee a few paces to the kitchen table.” Kuhn understands the struggles those with Parkinson’s face, and is passionate

about motivating other Parkinson’s sufferers. This week, in partnership with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Kuhn embarked on another motorcycle adventure known as “The 50 CC.”
The signature ride is a designated part of the Iron Butt Association, made up of more than 50,000 members who are dedicated to safe long-distance motorcycle riding. From Oct. 7 to 9, Kuhn, along with fellow motorcyclist Andrew Westlund, will attempt to complete the roughly 2,400mile, 50-hour, coast-to-coast ride to raise awareness and, said Kuhn, “to encourage the Parkinson’s community to live life with purpose, reach beyond comfort zones, accept the challenge of living life to the fullest, fight the disease every step of the way and never give up or give in. “I want to share my adventure with others who have Parkinson’s, and in doing so encourage them to have their own adventures, be daring and stretch outside their comfort zone”, Kuhn added. “It’s important to show people with Parkinson’s that they can accomplish extraordinary things, despite this disease.” The 50 CC ride began Tuesday in San Diego, California, and continues across the southern U.S. to Jacksonville, Florida. For event details, visit Facebook. com/coasttocoastforthecure. Kuhn will be posting about his adventure at Twitter. com/TWU_Bob.

Cloverdale couple all business with bargain clothes Gord Kurenoff
Vancouver Sun Twitter @OhGord
CLOVERDALE — It looked like a Boxing Day or Black Friday frenzy as antsy shoppers in Coquitlam lined up last month waiting for the glass doors of Duncan Mussbacher’s new 6,000square-foot baby, Once Upon A Child, to swing open. As a parent of two active and growing children – joking it’s “your basic million-dollar family, which costs twice that amount to raise” in B.C.’s pricey Lower Mainland – the 44-year-old Mussbacher is cognizant of budgeting and receiving good bang for his buck. That’s why he fully embraced the business model of Once Upon A Child, a North American retail chain that buys and sells “gently used” kids’ stuff. A sous-chef by trade who cooked for 14 years before hanging up the white jacket to become executive director of retirement homes in Edmonton, Mussbacher and wife Cathy seriously considered investing in a Subway or family restaurant after being transferred to B.C. several years ago. Then, by chance, he noticed Once Upon A Child during a Google search for business opportunities. The astute Cloverdale businessman admits the “recession-proof” pitch used by the Minneapolis-based Winmark Corp. – which also franchises Play It Again Sports, Plato’s Closet, Style Encore and Music Go Round – immediately caught his attention. “All buzz words aside, it makes perfect sense. If you need to cut back on eating out or going out, that’s doable. You can also reduce or eliminate other frills to stay on budget. “But as all parents of young children know, you can’t stop dressing them – or stop them from growing like weeds,” said Mussbacher, whose seven-year-old son and five-year-old daughter fall into that “sprouting youth” category. So after opening B.C.’s
first Once Upon A Child in Langley two years ago (3,500 square feet, 18 employees, at #104-20121 Willowbrook Dr.), he decided to expand into Coquitlam, hinting that a third store is possible, but was mum on a location. Once Upon A Child also opened last January in Abbotsford and another store will open in Surrey early next year. Whether it’s finding affordable Halloween costumes, Christmas gifts, back-to-school clothing, shoes, skates, games, brandname fashions, high chairs, stuffed animals, strollers or furniture, Once Upon A Child has it all. “And by purchasing merchandise directly from consumers, we’re able to offer them lower prices and a great opportunity to receive cash on the spot for items they may have otherwise given away,” said Mussbacher, who stressed his store has fixed prices and is not a consignment operation or as hit-and-miss as Craigslist or other buyand-sell websites. A tour of the clean, spacious, 20-employee Coquitlam store – the largest of the 32 operating in Canada – reveals everything a child from crib to preteen could possibly need, in every size and pretty much every colour. And at least 20 per cent of the inventory is brand new. There is a safe play area set up for the kids to read, colour, test toys or watch DVDs while parents shop. Adjacent to that is an organized staging area where cleaned goods are purchased, tagged, entered into a database and placed on the shelf. Mussbacher said they handle from 2,500 to 4,000 pieces of clothing per day, and at his Langley store last year they moved more than 4,300 costumes and clothing items for Halloween. “It’s almost like renting, if you think about it. Kids don’t like to wear the same costume twice, so we buy it back and they get a new one. We sold a quality-material fireman’s costume for $9.50, including a cool badge. That’s a bargain. It wasn’t the
cheap plastic stuff you get elsewhere for at least twice the amount.” He reels off some of the other “typical” bargains like a $40 brand-name shirt for $7, a $100 snowsuit for $20, a $60 back-to-school outfit for $10, brand-name skates for $25 and soccer cleats for $20. Some of the items still
have the original price tags and packaging, but are sold as used items as required by store policy. “The inventory is constantly changing and my staff ’s biggest complaint is trying to leave here without buying stuff every day for their kids. “About 75 per cent of
the people we buy from are regular shoppers from all income brackets. We figure we’ll have an 11- to 15year relationship with each parent who shops here, so treating them properly is obviously a top priority.” There are 300 Once Upon A Child stores in North America.

Vital Signs survey
‘C’ for Surrey on report card Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — The City of Surrey got its first-ever quality of life report card Tuesday morning and was handed a mediocre grade from residents. The city scored an overall grade of C, or “average,” from the 571 residents who participated in the online survey in which they were asked to grade their community on everything from crime to the economy. The Vital Signs report is a national initiative by Community Foundations of Canada combining statistical data and public perspective into a report, and this was the first time it was done in Surrey. SurreyCares, in partnership with the Surrey Board of Trade, revealed the results of the initiative Oct. 7 at Surrey Arts Centre. “The study reveals that residents have an honest, community-driven pride and a deep interest in where we are going,” said Jeff Hector, president of SurreyCares. “They say that data drives action. We hope this is true for Surrey. Surrey’s Vital Signs celebrates our successes, and it shines the spotlight on areas that need our attention,” Hector said. He added the city is “going through some growing pains” and the report has “exposed them,” noting he hopes the study’s results will help shape the city as it grows. The city received a D+, or “requires improvement,” for safety (2.5/5), transportation (2.5/5), standard of living (2.8/5) and housing (2.8/5). “Satisfactory” marks, Cs, were given for arts and culture (3.4/5), economy and work (3.4/5) and the environment (3.4/5). When it comes to public safety and crime, the survey found people wish to see more police officers and want action to be taken on the link between mental health and crime. The report states the overall crime rate in Surrey has dropped by 11 per cent since 2009: violent crime by 37 per cent, youth crime by 37 per cent, vehicle theft by 29 per cent and property crime by 2.5 per cent.

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) But when comparing Surrey to the entire province in 2013, the report states overall crime is 12 per cent higher in Surrey than the provincial average, and that homicides are happening more than twice as often in Surrey than the B.C. average. Vehicle theft is also higher, 135 per cent more, along with break and enters (32 per cent) and property crime (28 per cent). Transportation also received a failing grade, and survey respondents said they would like to see transit improvements in the city, as well as bridge tolls becoming “affordable and fair,” and for SkyTrain and bus service to operate later at night. The report noted getting around Surrey is difficult, and infrastructure has not kept pace with population growth. The report said 60 per cent of Surrey workers travel outside of the city to get to work every day and the average commute time in Surrey takes half an hour – 10 minutes longer than the provincial and national average. When it came to improving the local economy, the report found residents want to increase local jobs, service industrial and business areas with transit, as well as clean up the city. As for the environment, which received
a grade of C, residents surveyed said they’d like to stop or slow down the loss of trees, and maintain the protection of agricultural land and natural areas. Residents expressed pride in the city’s recycling and food scrap collection program – which diverted Surrey’s garbage by 68 per cent in 2013 – and the many parks and natural areas in the city. In the survey, residents praised the local arts and culture scene, noting the many festivals and libraries, but would like to see more neighbourhood events and promotion of those that already exist. Praised in the report were the Surrey Library’s reading clubs for children, the largest in the province, and festivals including the Vaisakhi parade, which is attended by more than 200,000 people a year. In addition to questions on each topic, the survey also looked at things residents loved – and things residents want to see improved – in the community. The survey found residents believe the top 10 things to celebrate about the community are parks; festivals and events; locally grown food; the natural environment; diverse cultures; the growing economy; recreation opportunities; friends and family; good governance and people. When it came to the top 10 things to improve, residents reported crime as the top issue, followed by transit, mental illness, addiction, community planning, housing options and affordability, health care, employment opportunities, schools (K-12) and poverty. Anita Huberman, CEO of Surrey Board of Trade, said the study “ties in livability with economic development.” “Some are surprising and some are results that we already knew,” she said of the findings.“All of these results will be fed into the Surrey Board of Trade’s advocacy teams to instigate change,” she noted, adding the report shows what the focus needs to be to create a “more vibrant, more livable city.” Surrey’s next Vital Signs report, set for 2017, is planned to focus on youth.

Keeping score of crime-fight plans It’s kind of like keeping up with the Joneses, but on a much grander scale. Every slate’s gotta have one, it seems. We’re talking about one of those new-fangled, much-coveted plans to remedy all that’s crime-related in Surrey, now and forever more. No Surrey political campaign, of course, is complete without one. Last month, former mayor Doug McCallum and his Safe Surrey Coalition launched its political boat with the presentation of a $21-million, six-point “Public Safety Platform” cure-all. Not to be outdone, mayoralty rival Barinder Rasode took a shot across her rivals’ bow with her 10-point “360-Degree Plan to Fight Crime” last week. Does one get more points for having more points, we wonder? After Rasode released her Public Safety plan, Surrey First fired out a rejoinder claiming she’d – ahem – borrowed heavily from their own 2007 Crime Reduction Strategy. Linda Hepner, Surrey First’s mayoral candidate, is quoted in her slate’s press release as saying Rasode’s plan – the good points, of course – are “little more than the regurgitation of our current award-winning policies.” Let’s keep score, shall we? The Safe Surrey Coalition’s inaugural press release said Surrey is “faced with an ongoing crime wave that is being met with inaction by the current Surrey mayor and council.” Rasode then torpedoed “both” her rivals, claiming they’re more-or-less tired. Hepner, meanwhile, brought out the big canon: “Anyone who wants to be mayor of Surrey and says they’ve got a simple solution to policing, crime and public safety isn’t being honest with our citizens.” And while Surrey’s political rivals scrap it out over crime, what are we hearing about the issue on Delta’s campaign trail? Crickets. Seems it’s so boring over there that Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford has seen fit to make an unusual foray across the thin blue line that is Scott Road into Surrey’s civic politics by helping Rasode with her plan. “I’m not here to tick off the RCMP, but I have family there too,” Cessford said of Surrey. If Surrey’s top cop is feeling like Cessford is telling him how to run his shop, and is a little miffed about it, he’s been silent so far. The Now

Rail relocation: Stop the talk, just do it The Editor, Another death along the rail road tracks, this time in Maple Ridge. And, of course, in the post-mortem, everyone wants to blame the victim. Blaming the victim is not going to solve the problem with deaths and injuries as long as the railroad tracks travel along the beach in White Rock – especially as the White Rock population continues to grow exponentially. It is time for our governments to stop talking about moving the train tracks and for us to make our government realize that moving the tracks to the interior of Surrey is a very necessary transportation-investment priority. Moving the tracks can be seen as a
To me, moving the tracks is something that should have been done years ago… tourism investment in addition to a necessary safety measure. Just because the tracks were built on the beachfront 100-plus years ago does not mean they should stay there forever. It is time to realize that tracks along our beautiful beach were never meant to be built where there was going to be such a densely populated area. The only viable justification I have heard from people for not moving the

tracks is cost issues. If we can spend millions of dollars on an Olympics, retractable sports roof and military stealth bombers, can we honestly justify that the costs of moving the tracks is too high? To me, moving the tracks is something that should have been done years ago, and I don’t understand why it hasn’t. It is time to get with current times. Stop blaming the victims and realize that, yes, the costs are high – but the costs are too high not moving the tracks. No matter how many times you keep blaming the victims, there will still be injuries (and worse) when you have trains and masses of people in a beachfront area. Colin Fletcher, White Rock

DEBATE Column
An interview with Surrey’s first Pastafarian council candidate UncommonSense Adrian MacNair
W
hen I picked up Surrey “Pastafarian” Obi Canuel in my car on Tuesday afternoon, my first observation was that he had swapped out his holy colander for a spaghetti strainer. He had requested a ride to his vehicle after ICBC left him stranded by denying his right to wear “religious headgear” – a pasta colander – in his driver’s licence photo. Obi Canuel, an ordained minister in the atheistic Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), did not break character during the interview, insisting his religion was being discriminated against by the public auto insurer. It’s obvious that Canuel doesn’t literally believe in a Flying Spaghetti Monster who created the world with “His Noodly Appendage.” For those who don’t know, the genesis of FSM began when Bobby Henderson wrote a light-hearted open letter to the Kansas State school board opposing the teaching of intelligent design and creationism public schools. He suggested a supernatural creator that closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs is just as plausible a creator of the universe. Since that letter, thousands of “pastafarians” throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world have taken on the spoof to challenge the infringement of church and state. Most people would probably assume, quite logically I think, that Canuel’s holy colander request is a challenge to religious infringement within secular society. But he
insists it goes beyond religion. “I think as long as no one’s getting hurt, as long as everybody is following the law, I think that every social custom is up for dispute and challenge. And I think that’s healthy. In fact, that’s necessary for modern liberal democracy.” Canuel says there are even non-religious customs – such as wedding rings – that are so ordinary that society doesn’t even notice them anymore. Challenging these social norms is simply a means of stirring up the status quo. “I don’t think the world needs more conformists,” says Canuel, as he gestures that I need to make a left turn. Canuel has another big revelation to add. He’s submitting his papers to run as Surrey’s first Flying Spaghetti Monster council candidate. On this issue, he’s a little more candid. He doesn’t think he will win, nor does he profess to have a platform on which to run, but he does wants to bring awareness to social issues and councillor salaries that he considers generous. Canuel says if “by some miracle I were elected,” he would accept $20,000 of the $60,000 salary, and donate the rest to nonprofits in Surrey. At any rate, it would certainly be difficult to get out and about campaigning without a car. I ask if he regrets pushing ICBC to the point where he’s now dependent on others for transportation. He replies that the Spaghetti Monster has granted in all of us the ability to control how we react to different situations. In this instance, he says it’s an invitation to get more exercise and rely less on fossil fuels. The irony here is that by denying Canuel and his fellow pastafarians the “right” to
Obi Canuel is stranded following a decision by ICBC to deny the renewal of his driver’s license photo with a pasta colander on his head. (Photo: ADRIAN MACNAIR) wear a silly object on his head, ICBC opens itself up to a debate on religion and atheism. It’s a debate that Canuel, while not openly admitting it, is happy to have. “I do think as the importance of religion declines there comes these awful existential questions about how to live your life and give meaning to it,” he says. “It might just be the
case that life is meaningless and there’s no purpose to it and I think that the response to that is to try to live your life in a way that makes people happy. And if that means being unusual, then let’s do it. As long as everyone’s having fun.” Adam Grossman, an ICBC spokesman, said “we will always try to accommodate customers with head coverings where their faith prohibits them from removing it. Mr. Canuel could not provide us with any proof that his faith prohibits it.” In essence, ICBC is calling Canuel out on his spoof, arguing there are no tenets that literally forbid the removal of the colander. But this opens up the proverbial can of worms about the tenets of all religions, which atheists might quite rightly argue amount to little more than a social construct that has little bearing on the eventual fate or question of a human soul. Personally, I belong to the “live and let live” camp. As an atheist, I don’t believe in any supernatural beings, but I don’t deny anybody the right to carry on with culturally-adopted delusions of grandeur. Unless it begins harming people – see the current situation in Syria and Iraq – I generally don’t care whether people worship a man from Nazareth, an elephant from India or a Flying Spaghetti Monster. As I dropped off my passenger, I asked him if he’d prefer a world without religion. He wouldn’t answer the question directly, but offered an alternate perspective. “As long as nobody’s getting hurt and it’s fostering human happiness, that’s the sort of society I’m interested in.” Adrian MacNair is a staff reporter with the Now.

Questions for candidates, re: suites The Editor, With the Surrey elections in the offing, there is lots of talk about crime, with a number of candidates jockeying to frame themselves as the bigger proponent of better policing. Respect for law and order, which ultimately protects us all, begins at home with little things. Simple questions for all candidates: Do you and/or your family members have homes with illegal suites, and are you prepared to enforce the city bylaws in this regard? In short, are you practising what you preach? Andrew Block, North Delta

A train full of red roses and thanks to all the dedicated volunteers that have made visits to the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway in Cloverdale on the weekends so enjoyable and interesting, even when the refurbished Interurban 1225 could not run due to blockage of tracks. Some people complain of our medical system, but I have nothing but beautiful red roses to the doctors and nurses at Peace Arch Emergency area and on Floor 2. I encountered wonderful attentive nurses with a sense of humour and efficient, kind, caring doctors. Totally grateful, Vicki M. A huge bouquet of red roses to the cashier at Michaels in Surrey who found my bracelet. I went back to ask if anyone had turned it in, knowing it was a long shot. She held it up and said, “this bracelet?” – and I literally could have hugged her. I was so relieved. Thanks so much for finding it. A window full of roses to Denis at Speedy Glass on Fraser Highway in Fleetwood. He was very kind, his technician cleaned up a pile of broken glass throughout my car, gave me a free temporary fix so I could go to work (having to park in the rain). Thank you so much! Red roses to the police in Newton. I know a lot of negativity has been expressed lately regarding policing of the Newton area. I am very pleased to see the walking patrols around the King George corridor in Newton. This not only makes us feel safer but it makes the bad among us a little nervous. Thank you. A big bouquet of red roses to the nice gentleman and his little girl for offering me his parking at the Jim Pattison outpatient pavilion on a wet Tuesday afternoon. You were so very kind.
BC Place full of rotten tomatoes to the spineless jellyfish of a neighbour who phoned parking enforcement because my wife’s truck was parked in front of our house on a cul-de-sac with no insurance for one day. She got a $30 ticket and was towed 30 minutes later. Not only do we have no money for insurance now, due to the impoundment bill, she can’t even go to work. Way to go, glad we have neighbours like you. You must be a superhero, singlehandedly putting people out of work. Get a life, loser. Shame on you, grannie, for harassing, making up stories and gossiping in our trailer park. What do you get out of harassing the young couple? They are ideal neighbors – quiet, and they have a beautiful yard. You must be jealous. Stop bullying them and get help or move. We do not need you to spoil our quiet community, so shut up. Rotten tomatoes for a certain pub in Guildford for refusing to show support toward designated drivers by charging us $9 for three pops (90 per cent icefilled), and then claiming it was industry standard to do that. They just lost a dozen regulars. A garbage load of rotten tomatoes to the individual who sent rotten tomatoes to “someone” who had been coughing for three months and was then told to see a doctor. Be a good neighbour and check – it may be the person has a chronic cough and is not actually sick. Perhaps the coughing is from breathing someone else’s fabric softener smells emanating from a dryer vent! Rotten tomatoes to people who complain about this column. Find something better to do with your time. Go to your jobs.

Surrey civic election
‘One Surrey’ team for Rasode Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — Mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode has confirmed she has a team. Dubbed “One Surrey,” Rasode’s slate is made up of candidates with backgrounds from law enforcement, business, community advocacy and farming. “The One Surrey team is a group of independent thinkers who are united by their shared goal of creating a safe, vibrant and prosperous city,” Rasode said. “Complacency has led to a culture of neglect in Surrey, and our citizens deserve better.” Some of those eyeing council seats as part of Rasode’s team have announced their candidacy already and some have not. Those who have already publicly announced intentions to seek office include 27-year-old restaurant manager Maz Artang, farmer Mike Bose and Narima Dela Cruz, a realtor and founding director of the Surrey Philippine Independence Day Society. Jumping in for the first time are three other hopefuls: Merv Bayda, Darlene Bowyer and Brian Young. Young is the chief operating officer of the Surrey and Delta golf clubs and is president of Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce. Bowyer is president of the Port Kells Community Association, and is also involved with Surrey Environmental Partners and Surrey Association of Sustainable Communities. Bayda served as an RCMP officer for more than 35 years and has spent the last 10 working as the Surrey RCMP Auxiliary Constable Program manager. There is likely one more member of the One Surrey team, but his organization had yet to respond to his intentions to run by the Now’s deadline. Visit Thenownewspaper. com for updates. So the big question is: Why a team? Rasode split from the Surrey First team earlier this year to sit as an independent, claiming her teammates became increasingly hostile after she spoke out about needing to do more on the public

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) safety front. “Why a team now? I think that’s a big one, because I stepped away as an independent and want independent voices,” Rasode acknowledged during an interview at her community hub on Tuesday. “I think that looking at the personalities that have formed the team of One Surrey, one thing that speaks is their record on advocacy in the community,” she said, adding, “the culture of complacency where you hand the torch down to insiders is not something that people want.” Asked what her response is to her critics who will likely say she wasn’t able to be part of a team, as demonstrated by her leaving Surrey First, Rasode said “the team will always remain the City of Surrey. Full stop. Who we’re accountable to are the residents.” So why a team instead of running as independents? “Because the culture of complacency that has not only existed at city hall but has actually become entrenched at city hall,” she said. “There’s clear denial

of even wanting to talk about the fact that we have public safety issues. My job is to be responsive and the community has compelled me to say this: We need some change. Let’s work together to elect some new faces at city hall,” she said. Last week, Rasode announced a 10-point plan to crack down on crime, which was developed in collaboration with senior law enforcement professionals, including Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford. Her plan would see the city adopt a similar policing model to that of Delta, embracing the “no call too small” concept. The One Surrey team is expected to present a full election platform in the coming weeks. Rasode’s team joins two other slates in the upcoming election: Doug McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition and Linda Hepner’s Surrey First team. Fellow mayoral hopefuls Edwards and Vikram Bajwa have not released slates. To read details of election platforms released so far, visit Thenownewspaper. com.

Safe Surrey unveils financial platform SURREY — Doug McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition released an eightpoint financial platform Tuesday, saying Surrey residents want good service while knowing politicians respect public funds. In the release, the mayoral candidate said the city “must return to focusing on services that fall within a tight fiscal framework.” The eight points are as follows: 1. Freeze taxes for two years 2. Reverse growing debt through an Doug McCallum aggressive repayment plan 3. Shut down the Surrey City Development Corporation 4. Eliminate plans to build a district energy heating system 5. Cut the City of Surrey’s operating budget by three per cent 6. Establish fixed cost public tenders 7. Discontinue the Surrey Regional Economic Summit 8. Reprioritize and increase funding for the Parks, Recreation and Culture Strategic Plan “Years of out of control spending, waste and involvement in speculative business ventures have moved the city away from meeting the needs of Surrey residents,” said McCallum. “This plan puts the taxpayer first, both in terms of allowing the city to address pressing issues and priorities, and by having greater respect for taxpayer dollars.” McCallum went on to say the city needs to re-look at how it’s spending taxpayer funds as, “city projects must benefit all citizens, which requires a complete overhaul of how city hall interacts with the citizens of Surrey.” Now staff

INFORM Delta civic election
Four new challengers for council seats Adrian MacNair
Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair
DELTA — The race for a place at the Delta Council table is getting heated, as four new challengers will vie for one of six seats in the 2014 civic elections. Peter Mattoo, Ron Calliou, Heather King and Rod Binder have filed their nomination papers for councillor, challenging incumbents Ian Paton, Robert Campbell, Sylvia Bishop, Jeannie Kanakos and Bruce McDonald. At least one seat must go to a new face, after Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton stepped aside in June after juggling his roles in Victoria and Delta. The four-time councillor was elected as the BC Liberal candidate in the May 2013 provincial elections, edging out fellow Coun. Sylvia Bishop by a mere 203 votes. McDonald also ran in the provincial election, but for the riding of Delta South and lost out to two-term independent MLA Vicki Huntington. McDonald, who has served on Delta Council since 1998, will seek another term along with fellow Independents Working For You team

members Jeannie Kanakos, and Trustees Laura Dixon and Nick Kanakos. Mayor Lois Jackson announced in September that she would run for one last term at the helm, along with Delta Independent Voters Association members Ian Paton, Rod Binder and Robert Campbell. The five-term mayor, who has served on council since 1972, is currently running unopposed. Applications for the job of school trustee are also beginning to fill up, with eight candidates so far forwarding their names. Incumbent trustees include board chairwoman Laura Dixon, Nick Kanakos and Val Windsor, while new names are appearing on the ballot such as Seusan
Fetterkind, Carla Qualtrough, Bruce Reid, Scott Stoilen and Laura Thomas. With three days left to file nomination papers, incumbent trustees Dale Saip, Fabian Milat and Donna Burke have yet to sign on the dotted line. One incumbent, however, will not be returning. Simon Truelove, a school teacher who was first elected in 2005, will step aside, citing his frustration with the provincial government through the recent job action and cuts to education. Brad Sherwin has announced his intention to run, but had not filed his paperwork at the time of this writing. Would-be candidates have until this Friday (Oct. 10) to submit their nomination papers with the Corporation of Delta. Election signage can begin to go up on Oct. 15 and Oct. 17 is the last chance candidates have to pull out of the race and remove their name from the ballot. The 2014 B.C. municipal election will be held Nov. 15, but advanced voting will be available in Delta on Nov. 1, 5 and 6.

Run for the Cure raises nearly $250K at Bear Creek Park SURREY — More than 1,300 participants arrived at Bear Creek Park Sunday to put their legs to use in raising funds for breast cancer research. The event? Surrey’s secondannual Canadian Breast Cancer CIBC Run for the Cure, which brought in nearly a quarter-of-a-million dollars at $243,605. “We did phenomenal, we are so excited and so happy,” said run director Vonda Dickman. “We had a more people, more funds raised, and we wanted to grow Surrey and we believe that there are still more in the community who would like to come forward and be a part of this event.” Dickman said it was clear how much Surrey cares about the cause as this year’s funds came in at $66,000 more than last year. Combined with the funds raised at runs held simultaneously around the country, Canadian runners raised a total of $25 million for 2014.

INFORM Blessing the Animals event
Dogs, cats, other creatures have their day at church much feasting, but there most certainly was a celebratory atmosphere as Rev. Cari Copeman-Haynes presided over the facility’s second-ever Blessing the Animals event. The mood was upbeat and the weather unusually warm as music duo Bruce and Cheryl Harding launched into their first of several songs at the church’s outdoor patio. They sang of all creatures great and small – words reflected soon thereafter in Copeman-Haynes’ abridged sermon. The message was clearly global: that every animal, be it elephant or stick insect, deserves our respect and love. Fair enough. But here at the church, there wasn’t an elephant or stick insect to be found. There were, however, plenty of pets. Bryan Hodgins of North Delta brought along his black and white Australian shepherd, named Murray. Hodgins, a member of the congregation “even before Crossroads became Crossroads,” knew of the upcoming service weeks in advance, telling his grandkids Kiera and Madelyn all about it. “The kids thought it would be great,” he joked later, adding, “They talked me into it.” Fact is, Hodgins likely would have come anyway. “It’s part of the overall community. You see people sitting in the pews and you

NORTH DELTA — What do you call a guy who willingly tosses aside a life of leisure for a life of poverty, goes around speaking of love and peace, communes with the poor and the sick and prioritizes animals and nature? A hippie? A saint? In the case of Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, who’d have just hit his 833rd birthday, probably the former and definitely the latter. Bernardone also spent much of his time as a friar and preacher, spreading the word of God to anyone who’d listen. Ultimately, he so impressed the Catholic church that he was officially appointed a saint just two years after his death in 1228. Today, Bernardone is far better known as St. Francis, the patron saint of animals and the environment. Indeed, he’s such a big deal in Catholic circles that he has his own day, Oct. 4, a time when some feast, others celebrate and still others spend time recognizing the animals in their own lives. And so it was a day later, on Oct. 5, at Crossroads United Church, located on the Delta-Surrey border. Granted, there wasn’t
SEE PHOTOS ONLINE AT THENOWNEWSPAPER.COM hear about their pets, but you don’t see them. This was another connection to the community.” Not far from Hodgins and his granddaughters sat Cathy RobinsonKingscott. In a container by her feet sat a large, 25-year-old turtle named Michelangelo. “Like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” laughed Robinson-Kingscott. And on her lap a second pet – a tabby named Charlie, a hefty cat who looked capable of holding his own against any dog on the block. Later, as Copeman-Haynes made her way from chair to chair and pet to pet to deliver her personal blessings, Charlie the tabby and Murray the Australian Shepherd somehow came together. Earlier, both had strained on their leashes, sizing up the competition and/or looking for the closest exit. And now, suddenly, mere moments after their blessings, Murray and Charlie were literally face to face. Yet the potential brouhaha never developed. Instead, they touched noses, calmly checked each other out, and ultimately seemed pleased they’d found one another.
Naturally, most everyone pondered the same question: What could have spurred such a surprising kinship? Could it be the blessings? A wee bit of divine intervention? Nah. Couldn’t be, could it? Turns out Charlie wasn’t an intense doghater after all. And Murray was feeling a little down after the recent loss of the Hodgins’ family cat and likely found solace in Charlie. So their friendly interaction wasn’t nearly as unexpected as it seemed. As the event wrapped up, CopemanHaynes explained that magical bonds between dogs and cats aren’t what it’s all about. “Today we just said thank you for our animals and we shared the blessings of God. ‘Blessing,’ essentially, means ‘happiness.’ Now, these animals today didn’t really need a blessing. They’re joyous all on their own. But there’s something about transmitting the blessing that blesses us, too.” There weren’t any miracles this sunny Sunday, but as pets, pet owners, musicians and others scattered into the afternoon sunshine, there was a sense that we’re all linked together. St. Francis wouldn’t want it any other way. Goble@shaw.ca

Surrey civic election
McNally looks to add to 29 years as trustee Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @questionchris
SURREY — With the rest of the Surrey school board trustees already having announced their intents regarding the upcoming civic election, the final member and longtime trustee Laurae McNally said CI IC she’ll also be seeking re-election. No stranger to the local education scene, McNally has a combined total of 29 years as a Surrey school trustee, having been first elected from 1980 to 1988 and then again from 1993 to the present. McNally said she hadn’t really given thought to running again until recently as she’d been “in governing mode” for the past few months. “We’ve had some big issues in education and wanted to make sure
we could do everything in our power to secure more capital construction money for this district, as well as dealing with the labour issues,” Laurae McNally she said. “But a few weeks ago I decided to put my name forward and you serve at the will of the community so we’ll see what the community says.” McNally, a White Rock resident, is running for that city’s spot on the school board, which is composed of six seats from Surrey and one from White Rock. “It’s been an honour to represent the residents of White Rock,” she said. “It’s small enough that if you go to the bank or grocery store, people know you and they stop and tell you what’s on your mind and it’s been a real pleasure.”
Top of mind issues for McNally are nothing new to the province’s largest school district, with budgetary shortfalls and building capital being key issues. “We desperately need a new high school to relieve Earl Marriott and that’s really one of the main reasons I decided to put my name forward for the citizens of White Rock again, is to see that new high school come to fruition,” she said. “If the government wants to get rid of me they can build a new high school and I’ll go away.” McNally is the final incumbent trustee to announce her intent to run again. Apart from retiring Reni Masi, the rest of the current trustees are also seeking re-election. They are Shawn Wilson, Laurie Larsen, Charlene Dobie and Terry Allen. Also running are former Surrey councillor Gary Tymoschuk, Bob Holmes, Garry Thind and Nicole Joliet. The 2014 civic election takes place on Nov. 15.

SURREY — For many Canadians, getting prescription eye glasses is no more difficult than a routine visit to a local optometrist. But in many developing nations, receiving medical eye exams is beyond the affordability of the average person. Which is why optometrists throughout Canada will be raising funds for Optometry Giving Sight, the only global fundraising initiative that specifically targets the prevention of blindness and impaired vision due to uncorrected refractive error – or, in layman’s terms, the need for an eye examination and glasses. FYidoctors in Surrey has supported the fundraising efforts for the past six years and will be participating again this year, throughout the month of October and on World Sight Day today (Thursday, Oct. 9). Local optometrists Dr. Angela Hern, Dr. Nixon White, Dr. John Black, Dr. Sandeep Sidhu, Dr. Anisha Bhagat and Dr. Kimberly Tsang will be donating portions of their eye exams and encouraging patients to donate to Optometry Giving Sight. “Eyesight in and of itself is a very important sense to have for quality of life purposes and for just the betterment of people’s livelihoods,” said Tsang, who has been part of the event for six years.“Some countries outside of Canada, unfortunately, don’t have the resources for eye care and glasses.” World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness held on the second Thursday of October to focus global attention on
blindness and vision impairment. It is coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) as part of the VISION 2020 Global Initiative. It is also supported by eye health organizations around the world and is included on the official World Health Organization (WHO) calendar. 2014 is the first year of the WHO Global Action Plan (GAP) and IAPB encourages its members and partners to continue with the rolling theme Universal Eye Health. This year, the call to action for World Sight Day is No More Avoidable Blindness and will draw attention to the key interventions that are crucial for the success of GAP’s target – reducing avoidable blindness by 25 per cent, by 2019. Tsang said the money raised by the charity can provide training for local optometrists in developing nations like Sri Lanka and Tanzania, or the establishment of vision centres for trained optometrists. Those donations can go much further in the developing world. For instance, just $5 can provide one person with an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Tsang said the needs for eye care vary based on country and population. “Different environments that are much drier and harsher, a lot more sunlight can expose populations at greater risks of developing certain eye diseases,” she said. There are an estimated 600 million people worldwide who are needlessly blind or vision impaired because of a lack of affordable and available eye care. For details, go to Givingsight.org.

rts and culture is a tricky business – sooo many facets and personal definitions. Ah, that is what makes art, perhaps: the many faces of those facets. Is the artistic interpretation a reflection of the cultural community based on ethnicity, social mores, language and geography? Of course, culture is all those things. We can blend the best of all the cultures surrounding us and have something special. We are not always successful with accepting and understanding other cultures. We can, however, keep trying. Sometimes there are language barriers. Sure, I am told that you can enjoy an opera sung in Italian but honestly, I like to understand what is being sung. Just music, no singing, has universal appeal, I think, because the language of music is universal. It’s like dance. Translation not needed. The City of White Rock and Music Encore Concert Society are copresenting a series of international classical performances. The music and performers are an eclectic cultural mix. The first concert is Sunday, Oct. 19, 3 p.m. start at White Rock First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.
Eugene Skovorodnikov is the artistic director of Music Encore Concert Society, co-presenters with the City of White Rock of a concert series at First United Church. Performing will be the renowned Russian ensemble Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet. With four graduates from the prestigious Saint Petersburg Conservatory, the quartet regularly performs at key festivals in Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Malta, England, Switzerland and Finland. Mikhail Bondarev (violin), Ekaterina Belisova (violin), Alexei Popov (viola) and Anton Andreev (cello) are the current members of the string quartet. On Oct. 19, artistic director Eugene
Skovorodnikov will accompany the quartet to perform the dramatic “Quintet Op. 57” by Shostakovich and elegant miniature works by Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Liadov and Glasunov. Wow. This is impressive. For ticket information, visit Encoreconcerts. org or call 604-541-2199. Elsewhere on the Peninsula, the White Rock Chamber Music Program has run an extremely successful concert series for many years. The next showcase is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at Crescent Gardens Retirement Residence, 1222 King George Blvd. Featured in the program are Reynhardt Crause (pianist/baritone), Ida Yang (harpist), Angelina Van Dyke (soprano), Grace Lin (pianist) and Ruth Francis-Lyster (violinist). Everyone is welcome, admission $5. That doesn’t tell the whole story, though; the music itself is wonderful, and is an affordable evening out. But you might like to know about Ida Yang. She is just nine years old, has been playing the harp for two years, has passed Level 4 and won an RCM gold medal. She also likes to read and paint. Her painting won second place in a national Remembrance Day poster contest. Ida’s harp is a lever harp with 34 strings – a tough instrument to play. Grace Lin is 16 years old. Grace has been playing piano since she was four. Currently she is in ARCT in piano. see MINTY › page 27

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
a23
October 5 th - 11th
Working Smoke Alarms SAVE Lives - Test Yours Every Month! Fire Prevention Week in Surrey Means Time to Check your Smoke Alarm! Research proves that seniors have twice the risk of dying in a home fire as the overall population. Other higher risk groups include low income, single parent families and aboriginal persons. On the heels of the internationally recognized HomeSafe Program, Surrey Fire continues to install smoke alarms for those at risk individuals that don’t have a working smoke alarm. Surrey Fire Service recommends the following messages: • Install smoke alarms inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement. • Large homes may need extra smoke alarms. • It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds they all sound.

• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
“Working smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire,” says Karen Fry, Deputy Chief with Surrey Fire Service. The week of October 5-11, 2014 is Fire Prevention Week. The message this year is working smoke alarms save lives and test yours every month! Smoke alarms have become such a common feature in Canadian homes that it is easy to take them for granted. Much like any other appliance, they should be checked monthly to make sure they are working and replaced every ten years. “In a fire, seconds count,” said Fry. “Roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Equally important to note is that the rate of dying in a fire is 74% greater if you don’t have a working smoke alarm. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.”
• There are two kinds of alarms. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires. Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires. It is best to use of both types of alarms in the home. • A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove. • People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers. • Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old. • Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan

Adams’‘Mythic Sketches’ at Newton Cultural Centre ‹ from page 22
She has received trophies from South Fraser Valley Music Festival for violin solo in 2005 and 2006. In Grade 5, her writing was nominated for the Vancouver Youth Acting Society and they performed her story around Vancouver and South Surrey. Grace has a passion for helping children in developing countries and, upon graduation, hopes to become a pediatrician to help them. Grace is currently attending Semiahmoo Secondary in Grade 11 and is preparing for her ARCT exam with Canadian piano performer Jane Hayes. Julie Lin is 14 years old and has been playing violin since she was five years of age. In June 2013, she was awarded first place in the Junior Provincial Music Competition in B.C., and played at Carnegie Hall last summer. Music lessons are not cheap, nor is a world-class violin. If you would like to support Julie in her violin studies and to help her save for a new violin, donations would be appreciated. On stage, Mary’s Wedding (by Stephen
Massicotte) will have a short run from Nov. 11 to 15 at the Black Box Theatre in White Rock Elementary. This Peninsula Productions presentation is a one-act play; tickets are $20, Peninsulaproductions.org. One more thing: Newton Cultural Centre staffers are all agog with the recent opening of the Jim Adams exhibition, Mythic Sketches. At the exhibition opening, 19 paintings were sold. This is a Jim Adams record, no doubt. Adams is a fabulous artist, is the epitome of multiculturalism and the arts and he lives in White Rock. He’s also a Surrey Civic Treasure and is on Surrey’s Public Art Advisory Committee. The show runs until Oct. 30 at 13530 72nd Ave. Hours of operation are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week, all volunteer run by members of the Arts Council of Surrey. melminty@telus.net

Old photo shows Girl Guides who were camping for the weekend in the bush, which will now become park land. four times faster than other developments. “It’s really about country living and farm life,” said Roger, grandson of founder Henry Bose. The plan is to construct four condo buildings over eight acres of land. A set of single-family homes to the east of the complex is also on the drawing board, but with the promise to protect 12 acres of forest.
The family home will be used as guest suites, while the potato barn will be a communal amenity centre for residents. The milk parlour will serve as a tool shed for the community garden. The story of the Bose family emigrating from England to British Columbia is one Surrey resident Susan Boyce is very familiar with.
Author of The Ridge at Bose Farm, Boyce plans to read a few colourful excerpts at the fall harvest. The book came about after what Boyce called a “serendipitous” meeting at last year’s inaugural festival. At the peak of production, there were 75 milking cows and the farm produced 1,000 tons of potatoes, hay and grain. Barn doors will be open between 12 and 4 p.m. this Saturday. There will be music and food. Admission is free. Other attractions at the harvest festival include sidewalk sales, farmers’ markets and vendor booths. For more information about the Bose family history, visit surreyhistory. ca/bosefarm.html.
For our Resource Centre—Reception & general office routine work—should be able to make a minimum once a week, 4hr shift commitment. For Client Care — at our Palliative & Tertiary Units at Laurel Place & SMH.

CLOVERDALE — As leaves change colour and the smell of firewood lingers in the air, Bose Farm will open its doors to the public on Saturday, Oct. 11 during a second annual fall harvest celebration in Cloverdale. Located at 16390 64 Ave., the site was established in 1892 and was farmed until 2009. Today, it has become one of Surrey’s largest conservation projects in recent history. Three buildings are in the process of being restored – the family home, the potato barn and the milk parlour. The company building the adjacent 253 condo units, RDG Ridge Development Ltd., claims The Ridge at Bose Farms is selling at a pace three to

DELTA — As anyone who’s ever tried to forge a career out of something creative knows, artists subsist on little cash and rarely have dental plans, let alone the hefty pensions that that their government-employed peers enjoy. That’s why North Delta-born jazz singer Jaclyn Guillou, who got her first big break performing at Vancouver Jazz Festival in 2009 and subsequently won the CBC Galaxy Rising Star Award, has decided to launch her latest album at Coal Harbour’s PAL Studio Theatre, in Vancouver. PAL is a social housing complex that provides subsidized living for artists over the age of 55. “I just wanted to keep with my personal feelings with working together to keep the arts community happy and healthy and PAL Theatre is a very interesting place because of the nature of the building,” Guillou told the Now. “It’s important and it’s something that, I hope when I’m 55 I get the opportunity to live there and get taken
care of in that way, because artists need support as they get older because we don’t have pension plans,” she said. Released on Oct. 6, Guillou’s latest record is a nine-track disc that explores emotion and nature. “It evokes a lot of different ideas,” she said. “It’s very dark and moody.” The album, partially crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign, is on the Cellar Live label, headed by former Cellar Jazz Club owner Cory Weeds. The Cellar Jazz Club, based in Kitsilano, closed its doors in February this year. “[The album] explores the role of nature and the four seasons and how people react and respond to each other and their surroundings,” Guillou said of her latest release. “In the same context in that matter, the actual title Winter for Beginners has a lot of different meanings but one of them is based on a memory of when I first moved to Toronto to go to school, and it was so cold in the winter that I just couldn’t handle it.” From the record’s title track to the lyrics on “Castle Garden,” the album is woefully introspective and intimate,

making the 100-seat PAL Studio Theatre an appropriate venue for its release. “The venue is quite small and jazz is just really best heard in an intimate environment. We can bring it to a stage of 1,000 people but there’s this physical feeling about having an intimate show where the audience reacts and responds,” the singer said. Guillou’s record can be purchased online on iTunes, at Cellarlive.com or at the singer’s personal website, Jaclynguillou.com. Jaclyn Guillou performs at the PAL Studio Theatre tonight (Oct. 9) at 8 p.m. Tickets for the intimate concert are limited to 100 seats and are available at Northerntickets.com.

SURREY – Like many young boys, Tony Pregal had dreams of being a race car driver. But unlike most, he pursued his dream as soon as he got the chance. Pregal is on the board of directors of the BMW Car Club of B.C. and enjoys driving the German vehicles in his leisure time as well as on the track. His race car is a BMW 330i while he drives a BMW M Roadster on the weekends. Even before he was racing, Pregal would take his own vehicle to the track and practice in his own car. The rookie driver is relishing his time at Mission Raceway, racking up nine points so far this season. With only two events remaining, Pregal has an opportunity to win the IP1 division. The final races take place this weekend (Oct. 11-12) at Mission Raceway and Pregal is excited for the finale. “It’s an incredible feeling. It’s like being a 12-yearold kid again and getting your first 10-speed. It’s like Christmas every day that I get to race. I get butterflies and a big smile on my face,” he said. Pregal is the son of an immigrant family and wasn’t able to pursue his
looking forward to see the development of Daniel Vas of Kwantlen Park and Sterling Ginthir of Earl Marriott. Vas, who is currently in Grade 10, competed at the provincial championships as a part of the senior team last season, finishing with a time of 26:14.40. “He’s running great,” said Kent. “He’s doing exactly what Tim (Delcourt) and Justin (Kent) did when they went through the ranks.” Kent thinks Vas will have a breakout year, finishing among the top 25 in the province this time around. As for Ginthir, Kent believes he is currently one of the strongest crosscountry runners in Surrey right now and expects him to finish close to the top five in the Fraser Valley Championships. In order to get to the provincials this year, local teams will have to fundraise. On Nov. 1, hundreds of runners will run the track at West Shore Parks in Victoria. Kent said that the schools don’t budget to cover the expenses for travel and accommodation, but they look forward to it. This means no students will be able to partake in the pre-provincial race on Tuesday (Oct. 14) on the same track. Kent doesn’t think that would have made much of a difference.

SURREY – Even though he is no longer officially a coach for Kwantlen Park Secondary, Scott Kent has remained in charge of their cross-country program. Kent, who is also the head coach of Coastal Track Club, started working with student athletes at Earl Marriott Secondary when he moved to South Surrey last year. But he was told that if he didn’t coach the eight students at Kwantlen Park as well, the team would have dissolved. That is something Kent wouldn’t be able to accept after winning 13 banners over nine years. He said most of the crosscountry talent comes from Surrey with one of the top three boys at the provincials usually coming from the City of Parks. “As a whole, people come from other areas to race in Surrey because the talent is usually here. This year, it’s not as strong,” he said. However, even though this year’s class isn’t as strong, Kent believes the future is very bright for both Kwantlen Park and Earl Marriott. The coach, who also oversees middle-distance runners at Trinity Western University, said he is
Rookie race car driver Tony Pregal is hoping to win both races this weekend (Oct. 11-12) at Mission Raceway in order to win the IP1 division. dream of racing until now. The IP1 division is for cars with factory-built engines and very little work done to the car. This means Pregal is
You have to be very very smooth applying the brakes so you don’t skid out of control... racing against Corvettes and other sports cars that have larger engines than his 3 series. However, he believes the fall event is his to win
because the weather plays in his favour. “In the rain when you’re competing against a car with higher horsepower, he can’t put all that horsepower to the ground. You basically have to drive your car like you have eggshells under your feet. “You have to be very very smooth applying your power, applying gas so you don’t spin out. You have to be very very smooth applying the brakes so you don’t skid out of control when you’re trying to slow the car down,” said Pregal. He went on to say that his BMW has even weight distribution and can handle the elements better than any sports car and much
better than the van he drives during the week. The Pregal family has made race days a family outing as Tony’s three daughters and “nervous” wife sit in the stands and cheer him on. He said that it is nice to have adult daughters who look up to him as a race car driver and he said he gets some attention when they post photos of him on social media. Pregal is currently sitting in fourth place in the standings and could potentially end the season in first. For more information, visit Sccbc.net or Caccautosport.org kyle.benning@gmail.com

2014 Audi SQ5
there’s oodles of passing power for getting past a spray-flinging semi-trailer on the highway BY BRENDAN McALEER
brendanmcaleer@ gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer
Design: One of the nicer things about Ingolstadt’s hotter versions is that they’re rarely overwrought. As mentioned, the SQ5 gets the same quad-tailpipe treatment out back as does the strong-selling S4 sedan, and it also gets those tell-tale angled red-rectangles. Standard wheel-size is a biggish 20”, with optional 21” as an upgrade, but note that a 19” alloy will clear brakes for winter use. There’s a space-saver spare tire out back so no need to run expensive run-flats. Other than a few minor clues such as big, S-rated brake calipers peeking out from behind the upgraded alloys, the SQ5 would be hard to pick out from a crowd of front-driver 2.0L models. Like all Q5s, it has that signature Audi grille up front, large enough to make you wonder if the car runs on plankton, but the side profile is actually
quite reserved. In fact, the only real critique here are the badges that give the game away somewhat. The fender-mounted “V6T” in chrome is particularly egregious, although it’d be quick work to get rid of it. environment: As it’s an S4 on stilts, you won’t be surprised to hear that the SQ5’s insides are practically copy-and-pasted from the sport sedan. Optional carbon-fibre trim sets off a cabin furnished with embossed leather sport seats up front, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, plenty of brushed-chrome accents, and at least half-a-dozen S-badges. It looks great, and the seats are quite comfortable without being so heavily bolstered that it’s hard to climb in. The trunk is a useful size for a vehicle that doesn’t seem all that large parked curb side, and the rear seats appear to have enough leg room for adults. Any drawbacks are down to the crossover upon which the SQ5 is based. Thus, the rear seats might look adult-friendly,
but the seat bottoms are too low for long-legged comfort, and they aren’t as cushy as the accommodations up front. There’s also a huge transmission tunnel bisecting the back row, which makes this five-seater really more of a four-seater. Performance: Tucked in behind that gargantuan grille is an engine worthy of the S-badging: a 354hp supercharged 3.0L V6. It makes peak power at 6000rpm, but peak torque comes in a little later – 347lb/ft at 4000rpm. Found elsewhere in the Audi range, this is a great engine, one of their best. It’s powerful enough to make a behemoth like the seven-seater Q7 feel spry, so when shoe-horned into something lighter, it’s just plain great. Er, that’s only a tad lighter. The SQ5 is actually a bit heavy, what with all the luxury goodies, strong chassis, and allwheeldrive differentials. It’s not a big vehicle, but it does tip the scales at over 2000kg.
Even so, the eight-speed transmission and supercharged-V6 do a great job of getting this sporty crossover up and off the line. Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive means every last horsepower gets to the ground with suction-cup grip, and the supercharged engine is extremely responsive. Start hammering the SQ5 through the curves, and it’s not quite as sharp as you could hope for. Like other Audi S-cars, the SQ5 has their Drive Select system, which allows the driver to change the dynamics of chassis, transmission, and engine note between three settings. Even in the most-aggressive Dynamic mode, the feel and feedback coming through that flat-bottomed steering wheel isn’t quite enough. There’s also a bit more body-roll than expected.
Overall, the SQ5 isn’t a hardcore performance machine, but merely a sportier version of the Q5 – and that’s pretty much what you’d expect. It’s not a track car, it’s a road car, but it’s very good at its job. Fighting traffic, the higher seating position makes it really easy to see flow patterns up ahead and dodge left lanes clogged by someone turning. The transmission quickly kicks down and the all-wheel-drive grips when you’re making a quick turn onto a busy road, and there’s oodles of passing power for getting past a spray-flinging semi-trailer on the highway. It’s an all-rounder, and as that’s what a crossover is supposed to be, the SQ5 gets top marks. Gearheads might fondly dream of that unobtainable uber-fast Audi Avant instead,
but in the real world, the SQ5 gets pretty much everything right. features: Despite a price tag starting off at $57K and moving rapidly North from there, many options have to be selected to get the SQ5 you actually want. That great-looking carbon-fibre trim mentioned early on? That’ll be $500, thanks. Satellite Navigation is also an option, and an expensive one at that: $3200, though it does come bundled with front and rear parking assist. Blind spot monitoring is also available. Despite the power bump, the SQ5 is fairly reasonable in terms of fuel economy. Official ratings are 13.2L/100kms in city and 8.5L/100kms on the highway – while premium fuel is required, these are pretty accurate numbers.

TODAY’S DRIVE Innovation
How technology is changing the driving experience allows passengers to wirelessly enjoy web surfing, online gaming and Internet videos as if their moving vehicle were a basement office. The GMC Canyon, Cadillac ATS coupe and Audi A8 are a few of the 2015 models offering this “hotspot” service.
Mobile wi-fi is not the only technological advancement. The 2015 Genesis and other Hyundai models include cellular telephone apps that operate systems such as remote start, auto lock/unlock and vehicle location. Navigation
improvements are also an important highlight of the 2015 lineup. In-car traffic alerts and construction notices have been around for years. But the technology found in the 2015 Honda Accord is welcoming in a new era of navigation and
going off the beaten path to get a driver from Point A to Point B. Rather than simply showing only what lies directly ahead for a driver, Honda’s modern satellite system monitors traffic flow throughout the area and is able to suggest
shortcuts or a scenic route, the latter if there is no rush getting to Point B. This technology is expected to someday include alerts for everything from a stray critter or animal carcass on the road to upcoming patches of black ice.

Music apps, Internet searches, stock prices, voice activation, sports scores, dinner reservations and gas prices have little, if anything, to do with driving, but that’s not stopping automakers from putting such “conveniences” into their new cars. The list of features, options and advancements seemingly never stops growing. So, when does enough become too much? And where is the line between what technology should be versus what it could be? Those are the questions facing automotive engineers as they try to find the balancing point between providing usable and distraction-free technology without short-circuiting vehicle demand with gadget overload. “Automakers did a good job of bringing us choices, content and options,” said Mike VanNieuwkuyk, J.D. Power global automotive executive director. “But now we need to focus on how to help us manage all of this. Consumers have been very clear that if they don’t like something or they are confused by it, especially with so much new technology coming at them so quickly, they will turn to other sources they feel more confident in, like their smartphone.” A recent study by J.D. Power, an automotive analyst in consumer confidence and concerns, indicates that the growing number of complaints regarding the usability and functionality of in-car technology suggests this area is quickly becoming the greatest source of frustration in the new-
car market. Almost two-thirds of surveyed new-car buyers from 2014 said their technology systems either didn’t work properly or were too confusing to efficiently use. Such feedback is causing automakers to “rein in” these systems to protect their market share. J.D. Power included more than 86,000 buyers of 2014 vehicles in its survey and those people provided an average of 116 complaints or concerns for every 100 vehicles sold, more evidence that deciphering vehicle technology might be more challenging than installing it in the vehicle in the first place. Vehicle dependability and fuel efficiency remain the top motivators for newcar buyers. But VanNieuwkuyk said that with reliability at an all-time high and gas prices seemingly stabilized the past three years, confidence in those two important areas has become a “given,” making incar electronics the fastest-growing area of auto tech, and the battleground where manufacturers are ferociously trying to gain an industry advantage. Improvements are being made, but the MyFord Touch in-cab technology system has set the “standard” in driver frustration and confusion to the point where the car builder has ditched the touchscreen technology in its 2015 models for more familiar buttons and knobs. Chrysler’s Uconnect, BMW’s Connected-Drive and many other systems have also faced their share of problems and complaints. Some popular models are offering buyers a “Eureka!” moment with mobile wi-fi access that

WHITE ROCK — After two years of collaboration between the city and the local arts community, the White Rock Cultural Strategic Plan is now a reality. The plan began in 2011 as an idea to create a guiding document that would lay out in detail the city’s artistic and cultural direction from 2014 to 2018. To do so, the city established a cultural activity task force, which was composed of various members and stakeholders of the local arts community. Claire Halpburn, the city’s manager of cultural development said the strategy was broken up into six key goals that would work towards ensuring a vibrant arts community and move White Rock into becoming a yearround destination for cultural tourism. Ideas presented from the strategy include requesting council explore the possibility of giving tax incentives to building owners who rent to arts organizations, working with B.C. film to promote the city as a filming location, look into using vacant spaces for arts, establishing a summer concert series as well as buskers festival and creating public display shelters along the waterfront.
KIDS & ADULTS
Pat McClean of the White Rock Player’s Club said as part of the plan, the committee would also like to see a marketing campaign to “showcase White Rock as an arts and cultural destination,” using methods such as travel brochures and local hotels to help get the word out. According to Eric Stepura, White Rock’s director of leisure services, implementation of the plan would cost around $67,000 on top of the $10,000 already approved. Stepura said the goal was to achieve that $67,000 within a three-year period, with a majority of it coming in the first year, and smaller amounts in the second and third. The funds would not include the $50,000 already set aside annually for the arts. Coun. Helen Fathers said the money requested was “pocket change” in the bigger picture, especially when it came to promoting and expanding the arts community. “We’re going to count on you and staff to make sure you’re the memory of council and prodding us to ensure we do this,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, noting that council could change following the Nov. 15 election. “You should be there pushing the council of the day to say these things must be done.”

New resident has eyes on White Rock council seat Christopher Poon

WHITE ROCK — A new face has emerged in the White Rock civic election. Cary Van Zanten, who moved to White Rock last year, said he’s grown to love the community he’s in and wants to make a difference at the civic level. Having lived in Delta and South Surrey for the past 37 years, the retired horticulturalist said he wants to focus mostly on whatever can be done about the current train issues, as well as setting a business plan for the city to move it into the future. “If you don’t say something, nothing’s going to happen,” said the first-time candidate. “That business attitude in council is missing and that’s what I hope to bring.” Van Zanten said he wants to ensure that White Rock has controlled development and understands that the city needs those changes to keep moving forward. “The income comes from development and if we don’t have new products going on then where do our tax dollars come from? If you don’t make changes you’re going to go

backwards and that’s what White Rock has to do, but we have to do it right,” he said. “I hate seeing closed doors in White Rock, it’s extremely busy in the summer time but we need to be extremely busy the whole time to be successful.” In other election news, the previously announced team of six council candidates have settled on a name. The group, consisting of Coun. Grant Meyer, Coun. Bill Lawrence, Cliff Annable, Megan Knight, Doug Hart and Lynne Sinclair will be called the White Rock Coalition. In a release, Meyer said he was happy to be working with the group. “I am proud to be one of the founding members of White Rock Coalition because it’s time that our city has a team of people representing a wide variety of interests and expertise who are able to bring independent viewpoints to issues facing our community, but at the same time who are able to work together with a common goal of achieving the very best decision for the entire city of White Rock.” The 2014 civic election takes place Nov. 15. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Bose Farms opens its barn doors to public this weekend Tereza Verenca
Now contributor Twitter @tverenca
CLOVERDALE — As leaves change colour and the smell of firewood lingers in the air, Bose Farm will open its doors to the public on Saturday, Oct. 11 during a second annual fall harvest celebration in Cloverdale. Located at 16390 64 Ave., the site was established in 1892 and was farmed until 2009. Today, it has become one of Surrey’s largest conservation projects in recent history. Three buildings are in the process of being restored – the family home, the potato barn and the milk parlour. The company building the adjacent 253 condo units, RDG Ridge Development Ltd., claims The Ridge at Bose Farms is selling at a pace three to four times faster than other developments. “It’s really about country living and farm life,” said Roger, grandson of founder Henry Bose. “There will be many opportunities to have barn dances, tea and maybe even weddings.” The plan is to construct four condo buildings over eight acres of land. A set of single-family homes to the east of the complex is also on the drawing board, but with the promise to protect 12 acres of forest. The family home will be used as guest suites, while the potato barn will be a communal amenity centre for residents. The milk parlour will serve as a tool shed for the community garden. The story of the Bose family emigrating from England to British Columbia is one Surrey resident Susan Boyce is very familiar with. Author of “The Ridge at Bose Farm,” Boyce plans to read a few colourful excerpts at the fall harvest. “One of my favourites Roger told me is about his time plowing. The coyotes would

It’s really about country living and farm life ... come right up and around the base. When he put his foot down, they were gone. The thing was that while he was on his tractor, he was no real threat to them, he was a bonus of turning up all the mice and critters for the coyotes,” she said. The book came about after what Boyce called a “serendipitous” meeting at last year’s inaugural festival. “I realized what a wonderful story teller he was and that this was clearly a book in the making. What was Roger Bose really interesting was when I looked into it more, it’s not just Roger. That whole family has been so much a part of Surrey forever,” she said. At the peak of production, there were 75 milking cows and the farm produced 1,000 tons of potatoes, hay and grain. But Roger admitted farming has definitely seen a change in the last two decades. “When we were farming, the way we were operating farms was entirely different. There’s so much more mechanization now that we did not have.” Barn doors will be open between 12 and 4 p.m. this Saturday. There will be music and food. Admission is free. Other attractions at the harvest festival include sidewalk sales, farmers’ markets and vendor booths.

DELTA — As anyone who’s ever tried to forge a career out of something creative knows, artists subsist on little cash and rarely have dental plans, let alone the hefty pensions that that their government-employed peers enjoy. That’s why North Delta-born jazz singer Jaclyn Guillou, who got her first big break performing at Vancouver Jazz Festival in 2009 and subsequently won the CBC Galaxy Rising Star Award, has decided to launch her latest album at Coal Harbour’s PAL Studio Theatre, in Vancouver. PAL is a social housing complex that provides subsidized living for artists over the age of 55. “I just wanted to keep with my personal feelings with working together to keep the arts community happy and healthy and PAL Theatre is a very interesting place because of the nature of the building,” Guillou told the Now. “It’s important and it’s something that, I hope when I’m 55 I get the opportunity to live there and get taken
care of in that way, because artists need support as they get older because we don’t have pension plans,” she said. Released on Oct. 6, Guillou’s latest record is a nine-track disc that explores emotion and nature. “It evokes a lot of different ideas,” she said. “It’s very dark and moody.” The album, partially crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign, is on the Cellar Live label, headed by former Cellar Jazz Club owner Cory Weeds. The Cellar Jazz Club, based in Kitsilano, closed its doors in February this year. “[The album] explores the role of nature and the four seasons and how people react and respond to each other and their surroundings,” Guillou said of her latest release. “In the same context in that matter, the actual title Winter for Beginners has a lot of different meanings but one of them is based on a memory of when I first moved to Toronto to go to school, and it was so cold in the winter that I just couldn’t handle it.” From the record’s title track to the lyrics on “Castle Garden,” the album is woefully introspective and intimate,
making the 100-seat PAL Studio Theatre an appropriate venue for its release. “The venue is quite small and jazz is just really best heard in an intimate environment. We can bring it to a stage of 1,000 people but there’s this physical feeling about having an intimate show where the audience reacts and responds,” the singer said. Guillou’s record can be purchased online on iTunes, at Cellarlive.com or at the singer’s personal website, Jaclynguillou.com. Jaclyn Guillou performs at the PAL Studio Theatre tonight (Oct. 9) at 8 p.m. Tickets for the intimate concert are limited to 100 seats and are available at Northerntickets.com.

There’s no denying that Mr. Honda was a genius, but he also nearly ran his company into the ground. Obsessed with perfection, he backed up the production line time and again with new innovations and insights – the engineers eventually set up a desk for somebody to field all his brainwaves. It was no way to build a car, even if the car in question was actually pretty good. The Honda 1300 was the first proper Honda passenger car, and it had any number of clever tricks; sadly, it wasn’t a sales success. The next car to come along was the Civic, and we all know how that went. However, this time Mr. Honda was forced to allow his engineers to stop pulling their hair out in frustration and work together in a more harmonious fashion. Little wonder than they’d soon produce a vehicle called the Accord. But then something happened. The svelte little Hondas of the 70s, 80s, and 90s ballooned into huge machines that were somewhat spongy. The Accord grew so much it crossed from mid-sized to full-sized; comfy, sure, but where’s the personality? Happily, a proper Accord returned last year and the harmony is back.
Design:
Not much has changed for the 2014 year in terms of the Accord’s sheet metal, assuming you discount the optional Hybrid version with its blue-green enviro-cues. It’s a conservative design, yet the more I look at it, the more there is to like. While slightly shrunk in size, this is still a big, wide car, yet the clean styling avoids it looking cumbersome. You get 18” alloys on both the Touring and Sport trims, but the stock 17” rims look just fine, and will have cheaper-to-replace tires anyway.
There is the slight worry that the LED treatment on the Accord’s front headlights is going to start looking a bit dated as the LED-as-decorative style fades out of the luxury market. However, as an overall effort, the front fascia manages to look distinctively Honda without looking too distinctive. This is a car that should age well on the outside.
Environment:
However, that ageless beauty is only skin deep. While there’s much to like about the interior of the Accord in terms of spaciousness, the application of technology leaves something to be desired. Just as the split-level instrument binnacle on the Civic has its detractors, the Accord’s twin screen setup is going to puzzle more than a few people. Why’d they do that? The top 8” screen looks nice, but it’s operated by a rotary control, while a second lower screen handles the audio functions, and is at a lower resolution. It’s odd, but it works – and yet a simpler layout probably would have been better. Having said that, the integrated LaneWatch sideview camera is the sort of clever innovation that only Honda could come up with: every time you put your right turn indicator on, a camera mounted on the right mirror shows a nice clear display down the side of the car, making watching for cyclists easy, and parallel parking a cinch. Other than that, the back seats are simply enormous, and ditto the trunk. This Accord might be slightly smaller than the previous generation, but the nips and tucks don’t seem to have diminished the interior space much at all.
Performance:
One feature that all Hondas used to have was a fun-to-drive essence that extended right across the range. No wonder kids were hopping up hand-me-down hatchbacks back in the day: those cars had dual-wishbone suspension and carved up corners like they were born on a track. While the Accord is far more refined than the Hondas of

yore, it still has a bit of that racing spirit tucked under the hood. The four-cylinder option makes a reasonable 184hp at 5000rpm and 181lb/ft of torque at 3900rpm. The dual exhausts on the Sport models uncork an extra 5hp, and the V6 stomps out an impressive 278hp and 252lb/ft. Honda, bless their hearts, will sell you an Accord with a real six-speed manual if you want, but you’re better off selecting a Continuously Variable Transmission if you don’t want to wait. I know, I know: a CVT. That can’t be good for driving fun, can it? Truth be told, Honda’s nailed this transmission. Unless you’re brutal with the throttle, it doesn’t whine and rubber-band too much, and is extremely smooth and efficient. Even better, the Accord’s chassis is that of one of the ballerinas the H-badge used to put out, meaning that it’s really quite quick and nimble. The electric powersteering is well managed, without being over boosted, and it frankly feels like a return to form. Tackling a curving on-ramp, the four-cylinder Accord carried enough speed through the corner that little power was actually needed for extra acceleration. That’s just the way an old Honda would have made the most of its power, and the payoff is a great driving experience with minimal penalty at the pump.
Features:
Standard equipment in the mid-size sedan segment is usually very good and the Accord is no exception. The 8” display and a backup camera are standard, as is Bluetooth handsfree, automatic headlights, and heated seats. Move up to the Touring-spec trim and get leather heated seats fore and aft, satellite navigation, and a multi-angle rear camera. Fuel economy is rated at 7.8L/100kms in the city and 5.5L/100kms on the highway. The new five-cycle testing would likely indicate a 10-15% bump in those figures, but the Accord did return very good fuel economy in the real world, particularly the way the CVT worked in the city.
