Fall exhibit in Cloverdale
‘Every River Tells a Story’ at Surrey Museum Exhibit features narratives from early Surrey settlers, others CLOVERDALE — Surrey Museum’s new feature exhibit, Every River Tells A Story, celebrates the rivers of Surrey, from the mighty Fraser River to the winding Serpentine and Nicomekl, to the smaller Campbell River. The exhibit, on display from Sept. 23 to Dec. 20, features oral histories, fun interactives, personal stories and information about what river advocates are doing now to keep Surrey’s waterways safe and clean. “In recent years, the sprawl of development has begun to change the face of land south of the Fraser River,” noted Dr. Barry Leach, an advocate for the preservation of Serpentine Fen.“This whole area of the Fraser Delta, from Surrey to Reifel Island in Delta, has the highest density of wintering waterfowl, shore birds and raptors in all of Canada.” The exhibit features narratives from early Surrey settlers and historical figures, including First Nations Chief Staquist and Sir James Douglas, detailing how rivers were essential to survival in the past. Also, modern accounts from river workers and environmental advocates tell why these rivers are still important to Surrey, and reflect on how our waterways have shaped the city’s identity. Kids and adults alike will explore the winding waterways of Surrey through stories, interactive displays and images from local artists and photographers. View stunning digital photography provided by Sullivan Heights Secondary School Fine Arts students and add your own river story to the database kiosk. Stay on course with a real ship’s wheel and compass, and guess the different things people do on Surrey’s rivers. Learn how steam paddle-wheelers and ferries plied the waters of the Fraser, providing essential connections between people, goods and markets between Surrey and New Westminster. Also, see how huge ships bring cargo up the river to Fraser Surrey Docks today, and learn from the captain of a modern dredger about the millions of tons of soil that his ship brings up each year. Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave., Surrey. Hours of operation are Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum is closed Sundays, Mondays and statutory holidays. Admission is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum. For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit Surrey.ca/heritage.

Event on Nov. 1
Animal triumphs ensure Langley shelter gala sellout Roxanne Hooper
Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
LANGLEY — Picked up near the South Aldergrove Athletic Park a year back, Gonzo is a prime example of a how a neglected dog’s life can become a Furry Tail Ending. Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is preparing for its seventh annual fall fundraising dinner, dance and auction, aptly named the Furry Tail Endings Gala. Gonzo’s story is just one of the successes to boast about at the sold-out Nov. 1 event. It’s thanks to sponsors, donors and staff that this event helps raise close to $85,000 annually for the Aldergrove-based animal shelter, said Sean Baker, executive director for LAPS. But it’s triumphs like Gonzo’s that help inspire people to help and give. Turns out this “awkward” but “endearing” pit bull was ill when he came into LAPS, Baker explained. It is not uncommon for animals to come into the shelter sick or unhealthy, he elaborated. But the type and degree of Gonzo’s medical issues, combined with his determined spirit and will to survive, “definitely” made him impossible to forget. By
Gonzo’s fourth visit to the animal shelter, he had won the hearts of most of the LAPS staff. His former owner had retrieved him several times, but last fall the dog was surrendered. “We were delighted when Gonzo was finally left with us, because he clearly wasn’t getting the love and care he needed,” he said. Gonzo had large bald patches all over his legs and body, and he was so itchy that every time someone touched him, he’d almost fall over trying to get them to scratch him. It turned out he was suffering from a bad skin infection that had gone untreated, and required heavy duty antibiotics and medicated baths. That cleared up, but turned out to be only a hint of his bigger issues. Fainting spells were much more concerning for the shelter staff. Baker said Gonzo would fall over and be unable to move for several “heart-stopping seconds” at a time. X-rays turned up a shocking discovery. To this day, they don’t know why he was fainting. They did discover 42 pieces of metal in his stomach, as he’d eaten a variety of screws and nails that were threatening his life and were surgically removed. But the health woes don’t end there. “While all this was going on, Gonzo’s new

Gonzo is one of the success stories for Langley Animal Protection Society. Despite significant health issues, he’s recovered and found a loving home. (Photo courtesy LAPS) family was waiting patiently for him to be well enough to go home with them,” Baker said. Rachele and Aaron Dunne first learned of Gonzo on Facebook and said they had to meet him. “They were looking for a dog who would
be a great companion for their senior pit bull, Ricky, and who was sweet and friendly enough to go to work with them every day,” Baker said. Gonzo won them over, too, despite his medical issues, and they have never wavered in their belief he was the right dog to join their family. It turns out Gonzo suffers from severe allergies to “pretty much everything” and needs special food. Within weeks of changing his diet, his problems began to clear up, and Baker said today Gonzo doesn’t even look like the same dog. “Now that he’s feeling great, Gonzo has come out of his shell and is tons of fun to have around,” Baker said. For those interested in finding out just how good life is for Gonzo, he has a blog: Furevergonzo.blogspot.ca. The theme for this year’s gala is “there’s no place like home” and, in this takeoff from The Wizard of Oz, combined with the event’s close proximity to Halloween, Baker expects many of the 460 people attending will be in costume. Baker said much of his team’s efforts are currently focused on acquiring silent and live auction items. To donate, call the shelter at 604-857-5055.

Plump pumpkins the product of some pampering Langley Advance Twitter @langleyadvance
LANGLEY — On a quiet farm near Campbell Valley Regional Park, orange giants are visible nestled among the spreading vines. They’re some of the largest pumpkins in Langley, and their grower hopes they’re among the biggest in the Lower Mainland. Scott Carley grew his first giant pumpkin 10 years ago, when the family was living in Delta. He raised one to more than 600 pounds in his backyard. Last year he planted one more, with his family now moved out to South Langley. When he heard about the local Giant Pumpkin WeighOff at Aldor Acres, he took the biggest of his big orange squash and tied for second place, weighing in at 853 pounds. “It started off as something fun for him,” said Kirsten, Scott’s wife, who has helped out with the care and feeding of the giant pumpkins. This year, Kirsten was expecting their daughter, and Carley skipped his annual trip to the family’s Manitoba farm where he oversees the annual seeding. To keep himself busy around the property, he threw himself into growing several pumpkin patches full of gourds weighing hundreds of pounds. Scott estimates his two best pumpkins weigh in at about 1,100 pounds and 1,200 pounds. The larger of the two is more than five feet wide, and neither of them will fit into a truck. He’ll have to move them using a trailer. On Saturday, he found out exactly how big they are at this year’s Weigh Off, which raised $430 for the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope, located in Langley. Carley’s gourd weighed in at 1,177 pounds – a new farm record.

The pumpkins are Atlantic giants, a breed known for its huge size. But Scott hasn’t left anything up to chance. Kirsten noted that when he had to head east to work on the farm, he left her a series of instructional videos on how to care for the pumpkins. “They are his babies,” Kirsten said. “I didn’t realize how much went into it until he went away.” There are strands of drip tape under the pumpkin beds to deliver water and nutrients. The pumpkins themselves rest on beds of sand or on styrofoam to keep them from rotting from damp. Nearby are several pup tents, thrown over the pumpkins during hot sun to save their skins. The pumpkins can gain dozens of pounds a day during their fastest growing season, noted Scott. The big danger is that they’ll grow too fast and split. He lost several to that already. Some of them he probably lost because he was experimenting and pushing to see how big he could grow one of the giants. As far as Scott is concerned, he’s already been successful. “My goal was to grow something over a thousand (pounds),” he said. Some of the ones he’s already lost to splitting, and some of his current crop, definitely surpassed that mark. Scott guesses he’s hit 1,000 pounds four times already. Once the contest is over, one of the biggest pumpkins will wind up as the most impressive jack o’lantern on the block. It’ll be hard to cut, Scott said. “A full saw barely makes it through,” he said. The work should be worth it for the reactions from kids. Last year they carved up their second-prize winner and put it out by the driveway, and heard many kids who doubted it was even real.

SURREY/DELTA — The two teenagers killed in a five-car crash along a Delta stretch of road between Highway 91 and Scott Road late Monday afternoon have been identified as Clayton Heights Secondary students. Chantal MacLean and her boyfriend Cody Kehler, both 17, were on their way to a family dinner on Oct. 13 when their vehicle lost control on a curve and went into oncoming traffic. Both died in the impact. Family and friends have taken to social media to share the tragic news. “It is with a broken heart I share this news. Last night, my beautiful little sister, Chantal, passed away in a car accident. I can’t cry enough tears to make it better. It doesn’t feel real,” said Shakeira MacLean via Facebook. “She was with her boyfriend Cody, on their way to his family’s Thanksgiving dinner. They both passed away instantly because of the impact of the crash and we were told there was no suffering. “I don’t know what to say other than this feels so unfair. My heart aches.” Both teens were avid rugby players. MacLean played for her high school team while Kehler competed for the BC Happy Water under-17 provincial squad, which won nationals this past summer. His B.C. U-18 Men’s coach, Curry Hitchborn, said Kehler earned the nickname “Clark Kent” from his teammates for his off-field demeanour. “He was selected not only for his athletic capabilities but for his character. Forthright and humble, as well as diligent and conscientious. He was exactly what a coach looks for when selecting an elite team.” Hitchborn said Kehler was an excellent student and a brave young man with an ability to put those around him at ease, adding he will be a model for other aspiring athletes. Liam Sullivan, a high school friend, posted his thoughts on Facebook: “I remember the first time I ever met Cody. It was his first day at Clayton, and

I walked up to him, shook his hand and the first words that came out of my mouth were; ‘Do you play rugby?’. The rest is history. From that moment on I had a new friend. Soon a teammate. I had grown (to) know one of the kindest, funniest, and brilliant rugby players I’ll ever have the absolute honour to call friend. The memories we shared were not as plentiful as I would have liked, but I’ll be damned if they weren’t bloody brilliant. What a guy you were, mate. I’ll never forget you.” MacLean was a star athlete at Clayton Heights Seconday in girls rugby. The teen led her Tier II B.C. high school team, the Night Riders, to a provincial championship last May in Vancouver, scoring three converts in a 31-5 victory over Alberni. MacLean was also named to Team BC’s U-18 roster, and in August went on to win national gold in Calgary by defeating Ontario 10-7. MacLean’s team manager, Brad Baker, posted his condolences on the Bcrugby. com website: “She was a fantastic person on and off the rugby field. She was the ultimate

Surrey needs more cops to increase safety: reviews Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — Surrey’s police committee endorsed the top cop’s call for 47 new officers Tuesday, following the release of two studies of the detachment’s operations that both found a shortage of officers. Those 47 are in addition to the 95 officers and 20 community safety personnel the city has committed to hiring over the next five years. The increases will bring the detachment to 815 members. In advance of the police committee meeting, Surrey RCMP declined to comment on how soon Mounties would be trained and on city streets, if approved. During Tuesday’s police committee meeting, Officer in Charge of the Surrey RCMP Bill Fordy explained that once higher levels of government sign off on the additional cops, the detachment has one year to fill the new positions. Because of that, he said it’s hard to say exactly when the officers could hit the streets. It’s not clear how the city intends to pay for the additional officers. With current population estimates for Surrey being roughly 510,000 for 2014, that would work out to a ratio of one officer for 626 people – high enough to surpass the city’s Crime Reduction Strategy’s target of one officer for every 700 residents. But with the city’s population growing by an estimated 1,000 people a month, by the time new cops hit the streets, that ratio will change. After the city’s police committee endorsed Fordy’s request for more officers, he issued a
statement.“After analyzing significant amounts of qualitative and quantitative data, both reports concluded that Surrey Detachment requires additional front-line police officers to support the level of policing service that we strive to provide for the City of Surrey,” he said in the release.“In addition to significantly enhancing our general duty, I will also be reviewing our staffing needs in Traffic Services, Youth Section and Investigative Services.” WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY ABOUT SURREY’S DETACHMENT One of the studies released Tuesday was led by Dr. Irwin Cohen, a policing expert at the University of the Fraser Valley, who is also the RCMP Research Chair. The report looked at Surrey’s crime rate, and found that while population grew by 11 per cent from 2008 to 2012, total criminal code offences dropped by five per cent. Meanwhile, Surrey’s Crime Severity Index was 114.32 in 2013 – nearly the highest in the province, second to only Prince George with 137.04. Cohen’s report says current staffing levels for general duty are “insufficient given the workload demands.” The first recommendation in the report is that additional general duty officers are required. It goes on to say “once staffing levels have increased, the detachment can increase the amount of proactive patrolling. “Resolving these two challenges in the first instance will reduce the workload burden on members and increase public safety,” it states. To become more proactive, the report

SEE FULL STORY ONLINE, THENOWNEWSPAPER.COM recommends increasing visibility in the community and allocating resources to focus on the large number of prolific offenders in Surrey. It also found,“greater effectiveness and efficiencies may be gained by breaking down district lines for calls for service and creating smaller sectors.” It states,“Surrey is a great example of the challenges in trying to substantially reduce crime without a full and sustained capacity to respond and prevent crime.” Other recommendations Bill Fordy include looking at determining the appropriate level of resources for investigative services; improving accountability and performance measures; improving detachment communication; strategies to encourage and increase public engagement and communication; assigning additional members and making changes to the Youth Section; and expanding the Car 67 program to reduce the number of general duty officers who respond to mental health issues. The second report, which looked at general duty staffing, was compiled by Peter Bellmio. Bellmio’s report shows in 2013 GDCs (general duty constables) spent more than half their time responding to calls for service.
“Less time is available for proactive work in neighbourhoods to anticipate and prevent crime,” it states. “That is a very high percentage for a municipal patrol force,” Bellmio’s review says. “The result is that policing with this staffing level is more reactive rather than proactive.” The report says Surrey has “significantly longer” response times than other communities across Canada. While there’s no official standard for emergency response times, many agencies – such as Calgary, Edmonton and Los Angeles – believe seven minutes is acceptable. In Surrey, the average emergency response time is 8.5 minutes. The average response time for urgent calls was found to be 11.7 minutes and roughly an hour and a half for routine calls. Abandoned 911 calls and alarm calls make up 20 per cent of calls in the city. In 2013, Surrey RCMP received 10,149 alarm calls and 92 per cent were false. More than 3,500 hours of general duty constable time was spent responding to false alarms – which translates to 297 12-hour shifts, equivalent to the cost of just over two general duty constables a year. Also in 2013, 19,574 calls were dispatched that were initially abandoned 911 calls. Only two per cent of those required police assistance. Other recommendations include modifying the current GDC work schedule and expanding the use of alternatives to dispatching non-emergency calls such as taking nonemergency reports by phone and online.

SURREY — If you were ever a fan of the children’s puppet-based TV show Sesame Street, then you might recognize a few familiar faces hitting the stage at Surrey Arts Centre this week. Puppets that may look a lot like the ones that taught you how to count and spell could be teaching their audience some new life lessons in an upcoming production of Avenue Q, an adult musical that’s “part felt, part flesh” starring familiar childhood puppets. The story follows Kate Monster, a charming girl-next-door-esque puppet looking for love, and Princeton the Puppet, a confused English major looking for a purpose in life, both of whom have recently moved to Avenue Q. “(Kate)’s basically the girl next door. She’s a kindergarten teaching assistant and she doesn’t have a lot of luck with guys, so I feel like she’s always searching for a nice guy to settle down with,” said Kayla Dunbar, an ex-Surreyite who plays Kate Monster. Dunbar was part of Avenue Q’s original cast when it first made its Arts Club debut. Her co-star, Jeremy Crittenden, plays her opposite as Princeton. “(Princeton) just graduated from college with a BA in English, and he’s not exactly sure what that’s going to be good for in life so he’s moved to Avenue Q looking to find his purpose,” Crittenden told the Now. By some star-crossed puppetry, Kate and Princeton meet and perhaps even share a felt-on-felt romp unlike anything you’ve ever watched on PBS. But, as much as Avenue Q teases at its out-of-this-world hilarity, the stars maintain that the play will hit close to home for many of its reallife viewers. “Other than Lucy T.

Avenue Q, billed as “part felt, part flesh,” is brought to Surrey Arts Centre’s main stage this week and next. SEE SHOW VIDEO ONLINE AT THENOWNEWSPAPER.COM characters are kind of based in reality, so they really are quite normal people and normal monsters,” Dunbar asserted. “You know, they’re looking to fall in love, they’re looking to have success in their life, and they stumble along the way just like we do, which really makes the show about real life. It’s quite honest,” she said. Crittenden agrees that, although the show is chock-full of penis jokes and puppetry, Avenue Q is rooted in reality. “I think that’s really part of the charm of the show, that if you grew up watching Sesame Street, it’s instantly recognizable to you what’s going on. That sort of world where humans that talk to other monsters all coexist together, and also everything is formed into the little lessons for you. Only, in Avenue Q, it’s not about spelling and counting; it’s about racism and one-night stands,” he said with a laugh.

Much ado about a play that stars homeless people Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — A Vancouverbased play starring people who have been homeless, or are on the
brink of homelessness, is coming to Surrey this Friday in conjunction with Homelessness Action Week. “We could all be homeless. People can be homeless for so many different reasons,” said Luisa
Jojic, a Vancouver-based actress and director involved in the project. “The goal is to bring awareness… and to empathize with someone living on the street or dealing with mental health
or addictions issues, to humanize these people.” She and Aaron Munro, with RainCity Housing and Support Society, came up with the idea for the show, called Much Ado About Something.
Created in partnership with Jojic, RainCity, the City of Vancouver and the Community Arts Council, the theatre project is intended to encourage dialogue and new understanding around the issue of homelessness. The play stars 10 people who all reside in the Downtown Eastside, Jojic said, some who are formerly homeless and some who are currently vulnerably housed. The show incorporates many Shakespearean elements, she noted, with a scene borrowed from Twelfth Night and a monologue from King Lear. There are also famous lines worked into the show. Instead of the well-known “To be or not to be,” the play asks: “To care or not to care? To house or not to house? To change or not to change? That is the question.” Even though it borrows from theatre classics, Jojic said it’s truly its own show. “We’ve definitely put our own twist on it,” she noted, adding it deals with not only homelessness, but belonging and identity as well. While those themes are important to all cities, Jojic believes they are particularly
It’s a really powerful project. important in Vancouver and Surrey, adding the City of Surrey expressed a desire they bring the show to town. “We want to create openness to working together to create change,” she said of the show’s goal. “We’re all responsible for it together. There’s no longer a divide between us and them.” For Jojic, it’s been an extraordinary experience working on the play. “It’s a really powerful project.” In Vancouver, a free show for low-income folks was held at Carnegie Centre on Oct. 14, and another showing is set for tonight (Oct. 16) at Waterfront Theatre at 7 p.m. The show comes to Surrey this Friday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Kwantlen Park Secondary’s theatre, located at 10441 132nd St. For ticket information, visit Raincityhousing. org/whatsnew/much-adoabout-something.

ENGAGE Beanbag gun brings down stranger in house SOUTH SURREY — Surrey Mounties are trying to figure out why a 45-year-old Surrey man stormed into a stranger’s house in South Surrey and terrorized three women before police brought the suspect down with a beanbag gun late Saturday afternoon. “We have not found a connection between this male and the occupants living there,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. Paquet said the man, who is “definitely known to police,” broke into a house in the 3900-block of 152nd Street through the garage, grabbed a hammer and smashed a window to get into the house.
Three women – a mother and her daughters aged 17 and 21 – ran out of the house as police were arriving. Paquet said the man was bleeding heavily because he’d cut his hands trying to get into the house before barricading himself inside. Paquet said police shot two rounds from a beanbag gun at the man’s legs, knocking him down, after he refused to heed their commands. He was arrested under the Mental Health Act. “He was mumbling to himself,” Paquet said. “He appeared to be high on some kind of drug that was not identified.”

SURREY — A Surrey group is set to appear before council Monday to ask for better protection and stronger rights for those living in mobile and manufactured homes. “What we’re trying to do is be collaborative…. We’re going to ask them to start to have a process so we can have a staff person delegated to our particular circumstances,” said Roz Bailey, president of the Surrey Manufactured Home Owners Association. “We are unique. We have all the responsibilities of homeowners but none of the rights. We pay taxes on our homes. Just for a sheer sense of justice, it’s not fair.” The organization, formed in the 1960s, says there are approximately 3,000 voters who own 1,529 manufactured homes in Surrey. Pad rentals range from $350 to $950, the group says, with an average annual increase of four to five per cent. This is squeezing out some renters,
especially seniors, they say, as they can’t afford the ever-increasing cost. There are a few main issues the association wants to see addressed by the municipality: increasing monetary compensation for tenants when parks are redeveloped, addressing zoning issues and creating a standards of maintenance bylaw specifically for manufactured and mobile home park owners. The group hopes Surrey will look to Coquitlam’s bylaw, which they say has “teeth.” As well, the association wants the city to delegate a staff member to work with them to help make the changes. Although the provincial government has jurisdiction over many of the problems, the group is focused on improving things at a local level. “Right at this moment, we’re focusing on the municipal issues because the election is coming up,” said Bailey. “Besides, you have to start with grassroots.” see › page 9

When mobile home parks are sold and redeveloped, the provincial Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act states park owners have to provide 12 months of rent to those being forced out of their homes. The group argues that’s not enough and that moving expenses should be provided as well, estimating it can cost upwards of $8,000 to move such a home. And some homes can’t withstand a move. Bailey said another issue is that there are very few places to move to with a manufactured home after being forced out of a park. She added that she is not against development, but right now there’s no protection for this particular type of homeowner when properties are redeveloped. The association also hopes to tackle the issue of “slum landlords.” The group says there are many rundown parks in Surrey and it’s common to see garbage dumpsters overflowing, cracked pavement within the park’s roads, brokendown facilities and amenities, as well as
unkept and dangerous landscaping. And Bailey suggested there’s a direct connection between how well an area is maintained and crime. Lillian Bailey, a resident of the decrepit Beladean Motel and Trailer Park along King George Boulevard in Newton, told the Now last October that she had been without electricity for more than a month after an excavator accidentally cut it while tearing down some cabins near the entrance of the park. That situation is one the Surrey Manufactured Home Owners Association never wants to see happen again. Kandas Hufsmith, also with the group, said there are many positive aspects to the lifestyle, and it’s an affordable housing option she wants to see grow in Surrey. “I like the fact that I have nobody underneath me, nobody above me, and nobody touching the walls beside me or behind me. That was one of the reasons why we chose it,” said Hufsmith. “Another reason is because my husband is a lot older than I am. Our income didn’t allow us to buy a house or a condo or a townhome, nothing other than a mobile home. We purchased ours for $18,000 and fixed it up and it’s our home.” The group hopes the community will come out to support them at the Surrey council meeting on Oct. 20, when they are set to speak. areid@thenownewspaper.com -With files from Tom Zytaruk

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community
This whole legislation almost killed me. Very, very close. And I consider myself a very strong person, mentally.
Kevin Berry, an Afghanistan war veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, walks with his service dog, Tommy. (Submitted photo: DOMINIC TREMBLAY)
Afghan veterans return home to battle over rights White Rock-based society takes on government in a class-action battle STORY BY KRISTI ALEXANDRA
O
n ordinary days, Kevin Berry’s service dog, Tommy, escorts his owner on the bus and, when he travels, on flights. He leads Berry through coffee shops and before getting home, Tommy enters the house, pokes around to check for intruders and comes back to the door to let his owner know it’s OK to enter. The thing is, Tommy’s owner, Berry, isn’t blind. Nor does he have another visible disability that would appear to warrant a service dog. “It doesn’t look like anything’s wrong with me. I’m a big dude, I look healthy, I got a service dog now but before there was absolutely nothing to show that there might be something off,” says Berry, an Afghanistan war veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly known as PTSD.
“In fact, I probably looked angry and wanted to get the hell out of whatever public place I was in because I don’t like big crowds,” he says. Tommy the German Shepherd – paired with Berry through the Citadel Canine Society, a B.C.-based nonprofit helping veterans with PTSD service dogs funded through charitable donations – is trained to calm Berry in the event of a panic attack, and has learned to wake him out of occasional night terrors. Berry served in the post-9/11 Afghanistan war from 2003 to 2004 as an infantryman in the third battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment. He wasn’t diagnosed with PTSD until 2010 – four years after the Harper government drafted and passed the New Veterans Charter, a move that effectively gave physically and
mentally-injured war veterans one-time lump sum payouts instead of the lifetime disability pensions they had been promised when going into war. “This whole legislation almost killed me,” Berry says, his voice choking over the phone. “Very, very close. And I consider myself a very strong person, mentally.” Berry is one of six representative plaintiffs in a classaction lawsuit against the federal government, which is backed by non-profit White Rock-based legal society, Equitas. Formed in 2012 by White Rock resident Jim Scott, Equitas helps provide legal services to disabled soldiers who received paltry settlements under the New Veterans Charter. see › page 11

Scott began Equitas after his son, who served two terms in Afghanistan and was severely injured in active duty, received a one-time payment of $41,500. “My son did two terms of duty in Afghanistan. On his second term of duty, the military came to the house and said that he was in very bad shape and there was a good chance that he wouldn’t survive,” recalls Scott. “But he did come back, and you know, he was in bad shape in the sense that he lost his kidney and his spleen and part of his pancreas. He had put a claim in for his injuries and we didn’t think too much of it, and the claim came back as $41,500 lump sum. “And I thought, ‘Hmm, that must just be a partial payment or something.’” Scott would find out later that it was not an initial amount, but a one-time payment meant to insure his son’s injuries. What the government meant to do with this change to the charter was “kick-start these guys back in to society.” “As the cases started to come through the process, because of the Afghan war, it became apparent that the compensation was not proportional to what you would get in the provincial workers compensation program. Or, if you’re going to get a lump sum, what the courts give,” he says.
O
f those plaintiffs involved in the class action lawsuit — one of whom is Scott’s son — there are some soldiers missing limbs, some with no legs at all, and others with varying degrees of injuries. Of six of Scott’s representative cases, five have claimed – and are still fighting for – damages involving PTSD. “PTSD is a survival instinct, it’s your brain rewiring itself to stay alive in a stressful situation,” says Berry. “You’ve got to be aware of every threat; you’ve got to be aware of what’s coming next.” And for Berry, like many veterans, the onset of PTSD didn’t happen until years after he’d been back from the war. “In my case, I applied for post-traumatic stress benefits in 2010,” he reveals. The now 30-year-old veteran had been back to work as a manager of a bar, but drinking heavily to fall asleep each night and also struggling to keep on top of his finances. “I started asking for help. The entire time it was like, ‘I need a couple drinks to fall asleep, I gotta have four drinks to go to sleep, I gotta have six drinks to go to sleep,’ and it built up over the years. I was a very heavy drinking, functional alcoholic,” he says. “I was managing a bar, it was violent, it was in many ways similar to a military structure. It just wasn’t a good thing.” In 2011, Berry was admitted to rehab for severe alcoholism and PTSD. It was when he began getting sober and looking at his finances that he realized that his lump-sum payment for the previous knee injuries that he claimed – whenever it showed up – still wouldn’t cover the debt he had been accruing. “Essentially I was like, ‘So what am I going to do here? Am I going to kill myself? Or am I going to be homeless? Because it’s going to be one of the two.’” According to Berry, he had called Veterans Services several times looking for someone to talk to about his PTSD and thoughts of suicide. “I called them in September, November and December,” Berry says, “and somebody said that somebody would be calling me back within three days. They never did. And then I called again in January, just broken in tears, saying, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I don’t know what I’m gonna do but something’s gotta give,’ and they asked me if I was thinking about hurting myself and I was like, ‘What do you think?’ It took a lot to prod

S
tatistics provided from the defence department reveal 160 personnel have committed suicide between 2004 and March 31, 2014. That surpasses the number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan in battle. That number, however, does not include those discharged veterans who committed suicide after leaving the military, as they are considered “civilians” at that point. Scott says that, of all of the veterans he’s helped through the Equitas Society, many of them would serve their country again “in a heartbeat.” “The question isn’t about whether or not I’d do it again, the question is who I’d vote for,” Berry says. “It’s a complete failure of all three parties.” The New Veterans Charter was passed in 2005 in the House of Commons the same day that it was proposed. This past June, a report titled “The New Veterans Charter: Moving Forward” was brought to the table in parliament, with 14 recommended changes.
On Oct. 1, Veterans Affairs put out a press release stating they “will move forward immediately with several initiatives as we continue to improve Veterans benefits and services” in response to the report. Ultimately, the recommendations, if approved, would ensure that veterans will receive the care they need. At the same time, the federal government has appealed the class-action case and court dates are set for December. “It’s not about the money, it’s about the peace of mind. It’s about the admission of, ‘You know what? We broke you for life and now we’re going to take care of you for life.’ Not having that peace of mind is an extra stressor that leads guys to suicide,” Berry says. Veterans Affairs Canada could not provide statistics on how many veterans of the Afghanistan war had committed suicide as “most of these statistics are not readily available.” Requests by the Now to interview officials with Veterans Affairs Canada for this story were not met. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

Looking at Surrey’s Vital Signs report released last week, a pie graph under the heading “Top 10 things to improve in Surrey” has a large slice apportioned to mental illness. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, one in five Canadians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, and the cost of this, not only in terms of personal and family suffering but also in matters of public safety and economics, must indeed be substantial. At least two Surrey council candidates – John Edwards and Brenda Locke – will no doubt contribute much to the debate (apologies to anyone we’ve overlooked). Edwards, an independent mayoral candidate, is a psychiatric nurse and Locke served as minister of state for mental health and addiction services during her term as Liberal MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers, from 2001 to 2005. It will be very interesting to hear what these two, and the other candidates, will have to say on this very important issue – and what helpful insight they can provide toward shrinking that slice on the pie graph come the next Vital Signs report for Surrey.
B.C. must fund hep C drug
H
epatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver. It can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and, ultimately, death. Until recently, the only cure was a gruelling 47-week course of Interferon, with side effects described as worse than those caused by chemotherapy. Success rates were low. A new drug, Sovaldi, is usually taken for just 12 weeks, and it eradicates the virus in up to 90 per cent of cases. The B.C. government faces the choice of whether to fund the admittedly expensive drug, or to deny coverage to those without the financial means or the right private health-care plan (many won’t cover the costs) to pay for it. By treating people before they need expensive hospital stays or a liver transplant, the health-care system saves money. For that reason, we hope the B.C. government does the right thing and funds this drug.

Deadly crash haunts Surrey widower who wants to make Highway 10 safer The Editor, Monday’s fatal car crash on Highway 10 in Delta, between Scott Road and Highway 91, is not the first at exactly the same location. In fact, being a longtime resident of nearby Boundary Park, I can recall at least three other fatal accidents at exactly the same spot. As a person who lost his wife in another car crash years ago on Highway 10, not far from the site of Monday’s event, I am, frankly, scared to death every time I have to go up or down that dangerous, curved, highspeed hill.
My wife died as a result of the failure of government to recognize and deal with an obviously dangerous piece of road. And now more people, this time two teenagers, are dead for the same reason. I am particularly upset because on Monday, I travelled the exact same scary piece of road with my new wife, only a few minutes before those kids! It could have been us! My heart goes out to their families for their pain. When will Delta and/or the department of highways wake up and do something to put an end to this

DEBATE Column
Acclamation is never ideal for democracy UncommonSense Adrian MacNair
I
t was on Friday after the nomination period ended that five-term Delta mayor Lois Jackson discovered that she will land the gig for a sixth (and final, according to her) term after nobody else submitted their papers to run in opposition. The free ride surprised this reporter, who has been following Delta civic politics and council long enough to know that not all of Jackson’s decisions were popular. “I’m absolutely gobsmacked, as the British say. I’m very surprised,” Jackson told the Delta Optimist. “On one hand, I’m very gratified how people support me, but on the other hand I say this is supposed to be a democratic society and everybody should be challenged.” She’s right, of course. The idea that anybody should be handed the chains of office without undergoing the democratic ritual of an election is one best left to

theocratic monarchies and dictatorships. It’s certainly not Jackson’s fault that nobody stepped into the ring to do battle with her. And few could be blamed for choosing not to take on a fight with Metro Vancouver’s version of Hazel McCallion, Mississauga’s longtime mayor. A political juggernaut who has been involved in Delta politics since councillors were called aldermen, an entire generation of voters weren’t even born when Jackson was first elected in 1972. While she enjoys a great deal of popularity for her folksy charm and matter-of-fact speaking, I’m not sure it’s entirely fair to Delta residents to pretend the more controversial moments of the previous three years never happened. Jackson presided over the Southlands public hearing last year around this time, spending five days listening to hundreds of speakers argue against building on agricultural land in Tsawwassen. On the final day, she ticked off more than a handful of people by suddenly ending the hearings when more were waiting to be heard. She won’t have to answer for that decision now. That wasn’t the only controversial

development she voted to approve. The highdensity final build-out in Marina Garden Estates went through despite overwhelming opposition; the location of the site is close to the Massey Tunnel replacement Lois Jackson bridge that Jackson pushed the province to approve. Residents could be more than forgiven for being a little miffed, since the bridge was never mentioned during the hearings. And then there’s the question of whether Jackson has advocated enough on behalf of residents over concerns involving environmental issues beyond municipal authority. Whether it be coal trains running through North Delta to Fraser Surrey Docks, the application for development of a residential subdivision on peat moss near Burns Bog, or the imminent threat to avian species that is Terminal 2 expansion in Roberts Bank, the mayor will not have to defend her record on any of these topics. And here’s the worst part. I’ll bet she’d love

to talk about all of those things, and more, if only somebody had decided to ante up and join her at the debate table. Nobody likes to win by forfeit. We wouldn’t have much to talk about around the coffee maker at work if the only team that showed up last night was the Vancouver Canucks. It isn’t as though there aren’t potential candidates who could have challenged Jackson. Heather King, Krista Engelland and John Meech all ran against her in 2011, but lost by a wide margin. King is taking a more cautious approach this year in seeking one of six seats on council. If it’s any consolation to concerned citizens, Jackson’s record may be indirectly challenged as a member of the DIVA party (Delta Independent Voters Association), a slate composed of herself, incumbent councillors Robert Campbell and Ian Paton, and newcomer Rod Binder. It is to be hoped that residents in Delta exhibit more interest in the election than they did the mayor’s chair. Adrian MacNair is a staff reporter with the Now. Email amacnair@thenownewspaper.com.

Make time for recycling at home, work and on-the-go. By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)
E
very year in BC about one billion beverage containers are returned and recycled. What does one billion containers look like? Think instead about a mid-sized car. One billion beverage containers is the equivalent weight of 64,000 mid-sized cars. One billion containers recycled are like 64,000 cars not going to the dump. Every year. But it’s not the one billion containers that get recycled that we’re focused on, it’s the 250 million that still end up in the dump. We would love to track them down and recycle them, too. In order to accomplish that, we do a lot of research including segmenting people by their recycling behaviour. A key segment that we focus on has been identified as on-the-go discarders. They make up 18 percent of British Columbians but generate almost 40 percent of the discarded containers. On-the-go discarders are important because even people who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home, whether shopping, out for a walk, at events, or at work. They do this even though they know it’s wrong. When people are away from home they tend throw things into the first receptacle they see, and it’s usually a garbage can. That’s not
People who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home just true on the street. Think about a typical office: there is probably a blue box for paper, but what happens to beverage containers when there isn’t a recycling bin specifically for them? They probably end up in the garbage can. Obviously, then, we need to engage people in public spaces, and we do that with some success. In malls, arenas, restaurants, and nightclubs, containers generally get recycled because the large volumes justify collecting them, whether it’s the owner taking them back,

a commercial collector picking them up, or staff taking them to make some extra money. In the outdoors, we have a program to put beverage-container collection bins next to garbage cans in urban streetscapes developed in partnership with the City of Vancouver. This urban interception program is now rolling out to Port Alberni, Agassiz, Port Moody, Kelowna, and beyond. But offices remain a challenge. Our research suggests that a significant portion of beverage containers in the trash come from small businesses and offices. A couple of containers each day in a small office doesn’t seem like much, but multiply that by over 150,000 small businesses and offices across BC and you’ll get a big number. We need to intercept people before they trash their containers, and businesses can play a role. If you own or work in a small business, put a beverage container recycling bin in your lunch room and let your staff, or the cleaning staff, take them. If you are a bigger company, call one of our mobile collectors. They will give you totes to ADVERTORIAL

If you are in a multi-unit building, ask your landlord to create a common recycling area for all businesses – then call one of our mobile collectors to get recycling totes placed there and arrange for regular pickup. There are still 250 million beverage containers getting trashed, which is the equivalent of 16,000 cars going to the dump, every year. We are on a mission to find them, and you can help.

is no longer 1970, with just a few cute, little trains a day. We are now being inundated with very long, very heavy trains carrying dangerous goods on a treacherous stretch of track. This puts many lives at risk. Those who say “just move” or “the trains were here first” are irresponsible, since they are ignoring the current, ongoing danger that these trains pose in a seaside recreational area, for both residents and visitors alike.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

A bouquet of roses to the State of Oregon for imposing a fine of $500 for distracted-driver offensives. We spent a week in the Portland area and saw only one person breaking the law – and guess where they were from? No surprise, it was British Columbia. Total disregard for the law at home and abroad. A truckload of roses to the gentleman who stopped his white cube truck by our picket line at Hall’s Prairie Elementary on Friday, Sept. 12. The kind citizen spoke to me about how his son attended our little country school many years ago and is very successful today. His son attributes his success to the years he was educated at Hall’s Prairie. The gentleman then showed his appreciation by presenting me with $200 in gift cards to a local sushi restaurant. Thank you so much! You really gave our spirits a boost and we will definitely have some great staff luncheons. On Sept. 10, I was rushing to present at Stenberg College at Central City. Naturally, I needed to pay for parking. Which I did… but forgot my credit card in the parking pay station. When I awoke the following morning, I had an email from one Caroline Engelstad stating she had found my card in the machine and she had returned it to the security kiosk. She apologized, as she had paid for her parking on my credit card; I suggested that is the least I could do for her honesty and hard work to find my email address. So, a big bed of roses to her and all the honest people in the world.
A bushel of rotten tomatoes to the granny who rudely butted into the lineup at Shoppers Drug Mart. Just because you had left some of your shopping on the counter does not give you the right to bang your cart into others waiting in line before you got back to the cashier with whatever other purchases you had to buy and butt into the lineup. The polite thing to do would be to wait in line and then gather up your pre-dropped purchases. Too many seniors complain about the rudeness of the youth of today. Set an example, please. A very rudely spoken “excuse me” does not allow anyone to butt in, and it shows a lack of manners and common courtesy. Rotten tomatoes to the people who are constantly griping about their neighbors in “trailer parks.” Every week, it’s the same garbage in this column. Obviously you are people with way too much time on your hands. Maybe you would be better served to go out and find employment and become productive citizens rather than candidates for Jerry Springer’s show. The biggest mouldiest rotten tomatoes to the jerks who are creeping around neighbourhoods in the night, coming into our yards and cutting wires and stealing batteries from travel trailers. We work hard to own the things we do. I suggest you get your butt out and find a real person’s job! May karma find you! Rotten tomatoes to the thief who burgled my parents’ Cloverdale rancher. You missed some stuff – want a second chance? Their small dog’s barking seemed to have scared you so for your comfort we have replaced her with our dog. He is definitely not small, at over 100 pounds, ha ha. But his bark won’t scare you – he doesn’t bark. Ever. In fact, some might say he is on you before you have time to scream.

Surrey First crime platform based on detachment review
Plan calls for 52 Mounties on top of 95 already approved, promises to hire 100 officers over 24 months Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — “It was not easy saying nothing for a very long time.” But that’s what Surrey First did regarding its crime plans, acknowledged the team’s mayoral candidate Linda Hepner as she sat in her office following Tuesday’s police committee meeting. The reason? The team was awaiting the results of an RCMP-commissioned review of Surrey’s detachment. “We knew we needed more officers, but hearing what the experts said around the whole mix of policing and what that meant and where those officers would be best utilized and why – that was really important,” Hepner said, stressing that public safety is Surrey First’s number one priority. “It’s too important to make up on the fly. That’s why we’ve waited to see what was in Dr. Cohen’s report before releasing our platform.” With that in, the slate has now unveiled its crime platform, much of it based on results of the study. The three pillars are strengthening policing, expanding crime prevention and standing up for victims’ rights. The $21-million plan calls for 52 new members, on top of the city’s current expansion plans for 95 officers. With 30 of the 95 positions already created, the party commits to hiring the remaining 117 – 100 of those over two years. Hepner noted the commitment will surpass the city’s target of one officer to every 700 residents or better. She said it is important to have “actual,
fully-trained police officers” who can make arrests. Other plans to strengthen policing include adopting a neighbourhood policing model, providing additional members to the Linda Hepner RCMP’s youth section and hiring a general manager of public safety to oversee initiatives in the city’s Crime Reduction strategy, review technology, implement the CCTV project and co-ordinate between bylaw enforcement, police and fire services. As well, the platform includes plans to find efficiencies within the detachment. The platform includes a commitment to work with the province to establish a secure mental health facility that would allow RCMP to drop off a mental health patient without needing to remain on-site for security reasons. Surrey First also wants CI to bring back the Prolific Offender Management Team, a pilot project discontinued by the province in 2013. Other plans include relocating the Front Room to the hospital precinct, establishing a made-for-Surrey specialized court, and creating a Social Innovation Strategy to reduce recidivism in the city. Surrey First also plans to appoint community liason officers for each district of the city, who would act as a point of contact between the public and the RCMP – a position Hepner described as a “citizen advocate.” Hepner said the slate will also request the federal government allow citizens to be given access to offenders living in the city. “It’s a program that’s in place in the states and in my mind should be in place here. We should know where they are,” she said, adding the city and public should have known where Raymond Caissie was before the tragic incident that took the life of
Surrey teen Serena Vermeersch. “We should be able at the touch of a button know there are offenders in this area and this area and this area. And we should be more watchful.” Hepner said funding for the city’s portion of the platform costs will come from revenues received from growth, dividends from the Surrey City Development Corporation, secondary-suite fees and existing city taxes. Mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode claims her former team has taken a “waitand-see approach” to fixing Surrey’s crime problem. She said in a release she and Fordy have been calling for more officers for over a year. She adds Hepner launched her campaign focusing on building a ferris wheel by the Pattullo Bridge and moving the railway tracks away from White Rock, “instead of making public safety a priority.” “For political reasons, they are finally willing to acknowledge our neighbourhoods are actually dealing with some pretty IC serious public safety issues.” Rasode finds it unacceptable that Surrey First waited roughly a year for the research report, even going as far as to say the Surrey First’s crime strategy is a “complete failure.” She claims residents paid the price for Surrey First waiting for the results, pointing to stats, including the record number of homicides in 2013. To Rasode’s criticisms, Hepner stressed that the team wanted a “laser focus” in terms of what the experts recommend. “It’s easy for every person to have an opinion on what should change but to couple that with expert information is really, I think, prudent leadership,” Hepner added. Mayoral opponent Doug McCallum took shots at Surrey First as well, citing Hepner’s comments that he will use data about RCMP’s staffing levels to “fear monger.” He believes the detachment reviews demonstrate how “wrong and out of touch she is.” areid@thenownewspaper.com
Breakfast B is ready when you are!
TeamSurrey unveils platform focusing on crime reduction SURREY — TeamSurrey unveiled its platform Tuesday, focusing on “a safer city, a stronger city and an accountable city.” Running under the banner are former MLA Brenda Locke and commercial realtor Stephen Gammer. TeamSurrey promises to implement a “safer Surrey strategy” by creating a public safety commissioner to co-ordinate city services such as police, bylaws, parks and recreation, engineering and more. As well, Locke and Gammer have committed to putting 100 community officers on the streets of each of the six town centres. They promise to hire 25 new bylaw officers and implement a “no call too small” strategy into the bylaw department to “address the root causes of social crime such as graffiti and garbagestrewn properties.” As well, they say they will support neighbourhood and business crime prevention programs. The two-person team says they will develop a plan for social services and infrastructure that keeps pace with growth. To do that, they promise to address homelessness and social housing needs; allowing for affordable rental housing in secondary suites; petition the provincial and federal governments for day care funding, restore Community Access Grants; advocate to TransLink; improve major roads to allow for movement of people and goods; work to replace the Pattullo Bridge; develop a plan for SkyTrain or Light Rail Transit that reaches to Newton, South Surrey Cloverdale, Clayton Heights and Guildford; and to work with stakeholders to realign the BNSF railway tracks.

McCallum leads polls SURREY — Doug McCallum is in the lead in the hotly-contested race for mayor of Surrey, according to a new poll. The survey from Insights West puts the Safe Surrey Coalition candidate at 40 per cent support, giving him an edge over Surrey First’s Linda Hepner (32 per cent) and Barinder Rasode (21 per cent). Of those surveyed, 55 per cent said crime was the most important issue in this election.

Make time for recycling at home, work and on-the-go. By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)
E
very year in BC about one billion beverage containers are returned and recycled. What does one billion containers look like? Think instead about a mid-sized car. One billion beverage containers is the equivalent weight of 64,000 mid-sized cars. One billion containers recycled are like 64,000 cars not going to the dump. Every year. But it’s not the one billion containers that get recycled that we’re focused on, it’s the 250 million that still end up in the dump. We would love to track them down and recycle them, too. In order to accomplish that, we do a lot of research including segmenting people by their recycling behaviour. A key segment that we focus on has been identified as on-the-go discarders. They make up 18 percent of British Columbians but generate almost 40 percent of the discarded containers. On-the-go discarders are important because even people who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home, whether shopping, out for a walk, at events, or at work. They do this even though they know it’s wrong. When people are away from home they tend throw things into the first receptacle they see, and it’s usually a garbage can. That’s not
People who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home just true on the street. Think about a typical office: there is probably a blue box for paper, but what happens to beverage containers when there isn’t a recycling bin specifically for them? They probably end up in the garbage can. Obviously, then, we need to engage people in public spaces, and we do that with some success. In malls, arenas, restaurants, and nightclubs, containers generally get recycled because the large volumes justify collecting them, whether it’s the owner taking them back,
Find recycling bins and recycle everywhere.
a commercial collector picking them up, or staff taking them to make some extra money. In the outdoors, we have a program to put beverage-container collection bins next to garbage cans in urban streetscapes developed in partnership with the City of Vancouver. This urban interception program is now rolling out to Port Alberni, Agassiz, Port Moody, Kelowna, and beyond. But offices remain a challenge. Our research suggests that a significant portion of beverage containers in the trash come from small businesses and offices. A couple of containers each day in a small office doesn’t seem like much, but multiply that by over 150,000 small businesses and offices across BC and you’ll get a big number. We need to intercept people before they trash their containers, and businesses can play a role. If you own or work in a small business, put a beverage container recycling bin in your lunch room and let your staff, or the cleaning staff, take them. If you are a bigger company, call one of our mobile collectors. They will give you totes to ADVERTORIAL
collect containers and pick them up from you. Mobile collectors are listed on our website, return-it.ca. If you are in a multi-unit building, ask your landlord to create a common recycling area for all businesses – then call one of our mobile collectors to get recycling totes placed there and arrange for regular pickup. There are still 250 million beverage containers getting trashed, which is the equivalent of 16,000 cars going to the dump, every year. We are on a mission to find them, and you can help. ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE RETURN-IT SYSTEM • $85 million annually in economic activity. • 173 independently-owned Return-It Depots employing almost 700 people across the province. • A network of owner-operator and commercial transporters and processors across the province who move 90,000 tons of aluminum, glass, plastic and other materials to recycling markets.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Consultant Marine Development
Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualified local pilots.
• • • • • • • • • •
Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. Marine spill response will be enhanced.

‘Noises Off!’ entertains at White Rock theatre ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
W
e are so blessed in this country to have so many choices open to us: a livable city and climate, generally good education, health care and governments elected by us. Not that everything is perfect. But we are darn lucky to live right here and can celebrate Thanksgiving with true thanks. As for the not-perfect part – well, we can all participate in something, somewhere that will put an extra shine in our lives and maybe just make a bit of a positive difference in our community. I looked forward to White Rock Players’ first production of the season, Noises Off! It is one of my favourite “silly” plays, and anyone who has ever been part of live theatre will appreciate this delightful script by Michael Frayn. Director Ryan Mooney,
with help from a very talented cast and dedicated crew, has delivered a wonderful show that did not leave anyone disappointed on opening night Friday (Oct. 10). I would gladly see the show again. It’s funny, entertaining and gives a comic glimpse of glitches that can arise backstage. But the play goes on – just like in real life. Very clever sets by Tim Driscoll and crew get a round of applause (literally) when the curtain opens. It just gets better from there on. Thank you to all the people involved who worked on this show with love and pride. It shows. Noises Off! runs at Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock until Oct. 23. You can purchase tickets online at Whiterockplayers.ca/tickets. It is quite affordable and really, actually buying a ticket is your way of saying thanks to White Rock Players for providing us with quality live theatre for 70 years. One thing in my life I am truly thankful for is learning how to tap dance. Oh sure,

GO! Minty on the arts ‹ from page 25
you’ve heard this from me before – but I really do mean it. Beginning to tap dance at a mature age is a bonus. I can do something. Not brilliantly, and usually not even correctly. Doesn’t matter. I am part of the tap community. Somehow that qualified me for becoming an elected board member of West Coast Tap Dance Collective. The collective is an umbrella organization that promotes the art of tap dancing. OK, so the governments of our day do not yet recognize tap dancing as an art form. The collective is working on that. You know, changing those things that aren’t perfect yet. One of the most enjoyable events hosted by the collective is a tap jam. Originally held every month at the Hot Jazz Club in Vancouver, these tap jams allowed all levels of tap dancers to come together, mix and mingle, learn new steps, share performances and jam to live music. When it was no longer possible to host monthly jams, the collective tried some other venues and eventually held regular tap jams at the Kerrisdale Legion. Good floor, potables available and free parking. Hosting monthly tap jams became difficult for a few people to organize, and the legion is an adultsonly venue. But there are still tap jams, and if you are an adult tap dancer – at any level – get a group together to get yourself off to West Coast Tap Dance Collective’s
Hallowe’en Tap Jam, 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Kerrisdale Legion (2177 West 42nd Ave., Vancouver). Live music, performances, improv and new steps taught by Troy McLaughlin are are just some of the treats you will find at this themed tap jam. Fee for members is $5, non-members $10. Come in costume to be eligible for prizes! Please note, this is an adult-only event due to restrictions at the venue. Trust me, it is tons of fun, so give it a try. Connect with the tap dance community. Bring your shoes, come in costume. Why not? I know sometimes we are hesitant to try something new because we just don’t quite feel we have an adequate background or training in a certain area. Well, we can be thankful, once again, that there are many totally talented people living among us that are willing to share what they have learned. Discover your theatrical voice with a voice workshop instructed by Doug Newell. The only way to discover your voice is to participate. Don’t get too comfortable. Reach out and remove barriers. You’d be surprised at what can happen. The workshop is in Langley on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., lunch provided. Register now with Karen at r.mctavish@shaw.ca. We all have a voice, and I don’t mean just the one we use for talking to each other or singing out. Our voice, our point of view, our vote. I am really thankful for that – most of the time. melminty@telus.net

RACE FOR BABIES Annual fundraiser
Tiny Bundles program for pregnant moms, families The Now-backed Race for Babies event is a yearly fundraiser for Surrey Food Bank’s Tiny Bundles, a program specifically designed for pregnant moms and families with babies aged newborn to one year. Without question, pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life are critically important for healthy development. Proper nutrition and support lays a good foundation for the rest of their lives. Tiny Bundles moms receive a food hamper every week (instead of every two weeks), as well as fresh eggs and milk while pregnant or nursing. Hampers are supplemented with fresh vegetables and
other nutritional items when available. New parents receive a baby layette when their baby is born and a grad gift package when the baby turns one year old. Tiny Bundles moms are eligible to receive assistance from the food bank once a week on Wednesdays
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tiny Bundles mothers are also provided with toiletries and other products when available. More details about the Tiny Bundles program are posted at Surreyfoodbank. org/programs/tinybundles, or call 604-5815443.
A Big Thank You to all the Surrey Food Bank Volunteers.

Formula, cereal, jarred food and other items are always needed by Surrey Food Bank for its Tiny Bundles program. Large cans of formula are preferred so families receive a one-week supply. Jarred food should include fruit, meals and vegetables – both large and small jars. Supplies for baby layettes are also needed, including winter outfits (sleepers,
socks, etc.), bottles (preferably those that do not require liners), blankets and toiletries (baby shampoo, bodywash, lotions, talcum powder). Items such as toddler dishes, spoons, toothbrushes and toothpaste are also required. For a detailed list of items needed for the Tiny Bundles program in Surrey, visit Surreyfoodbank.org/donors/top-items.

Aussie kids show ‘wiggles’ into Surrey’s Bell theatre Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
SURREY — For 24 years, the kiddie, Australian version of the Fab Four has been entertaining tykes with their rockin, kidfriendly tunes. But why should those Down Under get all the fun? The Wiggles, a quartet of kids entertainers in a nursery-rhyme rock band, are wiggling their way right into our own city, at Surrey’s Bell Performing Arts Centre this Saturday (Oct. 18). Lachlan “Lachy” Gillespie, known as the Purple Wiggle, is the newest member of the traveling troupe of kids entertainers, and is excited to hit the stage in Surrey this weekend on the group’s “Ready, Steady, Wiggle” tour in “Lachy” Gillespie support of their Apples and Bananas album and DVD. And, as tired as the Wiggles may get after eight months per year on the road, Lachy said that the performances energize them day after day. “We’re basically on the road about eight months a year…. We’ve seen so much of the world, it’s quite extraordinary how many places we’ve been to,” Lachy told the Now. “The shows definitely energize you. As soon as you run out, you forget about everything. You forget about where you are or how tired you are because there’s just the most
electric crowds but I do think the touring gets exhausting, but we’re all healthy, fit young people.” A songwriter and piano composer in his spare time, Lachy is able to bring his talents to the table in his job as a full-time Wiggle. “When we started, we did a lot of the original Wiggles songs, but then (Anthony Field, founding member of The Wiggles) encouraged us to start writing songs for the group,” Lachy said. “I love sitting down on the piano and writing songs, and its just a different mind set now to write children’s music. It can be a lot simpler; the melodies can be a lot simpler and they can still be just as fun.” In fact, Lachy the Purple Wiggle has penned more than a few original songs for the best-selling CDs, including composing “Skeleton Skat” and “Full Moon Melody” on the upcoming Halloween album. In the end, however, The Wiggles maintain that their most important message is to have fun and keep dancing. “The only thing is that we encourage everyone, if they can, to sing a long, to dance along, to really have a great time,” Lachy said. “You (even) see babies just move as soon as the music starts and they don’t know what they’re doing but they start to clap their hands and wiggle their legs, shaking their head and, you know, that’s all we really do. We keep our songs about healthy messages and exercise.” The Wiggles perform at Surrey’s Bell Performing Arts Centre on Saturday (Oct. 18) at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Tickets range from $25 to $60 and can be purchased by calling 604-507-6355.

Invincible Surrey United wins national championship, Coastal FC girls win bronze Kyle Benning
Now contributor Twitter @kbbenning
SOUTH SURREY – The Under-18 Surrey United Soccer Club boys’ team came out of the 2013-14 season unblemished after not losing a game in league, cup or even at the national club championships last weekend. Jeff Clarke’s team won gold after defeating Ajax Soccer Club of Ontario 3-0 on Monday (Oct. 13) at South Surrey Athletic Park to officially end the season unbeaten. Clarke, a former Whitecap and national team midfielder, said the support the boys received from the crowd was amazing. “There were over 1,000 people there from Surrey United. The field was jam packed with red and black jackets,” he said. “There were some five and six-year-olds there and some of our senior players were there.” The boys started the tournament on a high note, beating Winsloe-Charlottetown Royals FC 4-0 in their opening match last Wednesday (Oct. 8). The coach said that the score line flattered the team representing Prince Edward Island as Surrey squandered plenty of chances. The following day, the team beat Rapides de Chaudière-Ouest 3-1 in a tougher test. United was up 3-0 before giving away a late penalty kick to the squad from Levis, Quebec. United’s third match against Bonivital Soccer Club on Friday (Oct. 10) was the ultimate test for the boys as they conceded the first goal. However, they “woke up” pretty quickly and scored two goals against the Manitobans. With 15 minutes remaining in the match, defender Arsh Chahal picked up his second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Surrey to play the rest of the match a man down. Clarke said the boys remained calm and remained organized to ride out the 2-1 win. Knowing they only needed to avoid defeat

Surrey won Monday’s (Oct. 13) match 3-0. (Photo: PAUL YATES) to qualify for the final, United held the Edmonton Drillers to a scoreless draw on Saturday (Oct. 11). In Monday’s final, Clarke said that he’s never seen a team with so much hunger and desire to win and the boys scored their first goal pretty quickly, which put them at ease. After all five matches, Surrey United was the best defensive team of the tournament allowing only two goals. The squad was also one of the better offensive teams, scoring 12 goals. “If I was to be critical of the boys this week, and they were quite fantastic, we missed a lot of scoring chances,” said Clarke. The head coach and technical director of Surrey United also said that remaining
undefeated was one of the team’s goals they made at the beginning of the season. “It was one of our team goals, but it was one of our lofty ones that didn’t allow much room for human error or chance,” he said. “The boys just showed up at every single training session and every single game and that was easily the best goal we achieved all year.” Surrey United’s Kyle Sohi was jointleading goal scorer of the tournament with Mountain United FC’s Olamide Ajibike and Dzenan Bezdrob. All three players scored five goals. The Coastal FC girls’ team was also in the tournament’s girls division and finished with the bronze medal.

Coach Mark Pennington said it was difficult trying to get permission for the players to compete in the tournament because most of the team members were now training with university teams. He said one coach didn’t give permission for a player to compete in the tournament. The girls were in the same tournament last year and finished fourth, but Pennington believes that if the full squad was available, they may have finished higher. Compared to last year’s tournament, the team lost six defenders and three players had to pull out of the tournament shortly before it started due to injury. Pennington said the team had to pull up emergency players to cover the roster. Despite all the knocks his team took, Pennington said he was proud of the girls and noticed the only match they lost all season was to the eventual champions – the North Mississauga Panthers. “I couldn’t be prouder of how the girl’s played and how they competed and dug deep. This is the last time these girls will play together,” Pennington said. The way the groups were set up also didn’t help the girls as three of the most competitive provinces – B.C., Ontario and Quebec – were pitted against each other in the same group, which meant only one of the three teams would make it to the final. On the final day, all of the teams from group A (Ontario, B.C., Quebec, P.E.I. and Saskatchewan) all won their games. The coach also mentioned how this event was special for the club and the girls as Coastal FC hosted the tournament. He said all of the support from the community probably helped the girls get through the fatigue and kept them going. “It was pretty special being at home with a lot of support and cheering from the home crowd,” said Pennington. kyle.benning@gmail.com

today’sdrive 20 Mercedes-Benz 14 CLA-Class
The
NeWsPaPer.cOM
Your journey starts here.
Coupe
A new car for a new customer of the CLA being based on a lower-scale B-Class - it is noisier and less refined than its larger siblings.
BY DAVID CHAO
For many decades, Mercedes-Benz has long been a brand associated with luxury and exclusivity. In recent years however, Mercedes has been bringing more and more vehicles that are at “entry level” pricing, allowing Mercedes to entice buyers into its brand early in their buying process. These include everything from the Smart Fortwo, starting at just under $15,000, to their B-Class models, priced around $30,000. The CLA-Class joins the line-up in 2014, offering a sleek four-door coupe design for less than $35,000 – a true accomplishment considering that the CLA offers many features and design elements that make the car look and feel much more expensive.
Design
Mercedes-Benz considers the CLA-Class an entry-level luxury product; but that does not mean it is not a premium car. Mercedes’ aim is to bring new customers to the brand through innovative design and premium features. Mercedes pioneered the four-door coupe design concept with its CLS-Class. This idea – of creating a four-door car that looks like a coupe - has now been “copied” by most other luxury brands. The CLA borrows a lot of the styling cues from the stylistic CLS model and brings those exciting design features to a new segment. The description “four-door coupe” sounds odd, but it’s best to think of this car as a coupe which has a set of rear doors to make entry into the back seats easier. The four-door coupe body design does come with one big advantage, and that’s aerodynamic efficiency. The CLA boasts the lowest drag coefficient of any production sedan at 0.28. The CLA is based on Mercedes-Benz’s B-Class architecture; sharing platforms across a range is commonplace in today’s market as it is the only way for manufacturers to effectively expand their model range without adding significant expense. However – as a result
Another by-product of using the B-Class structure is that the base CLA is front-wheel drive. This makes it the first FWD car Mercedes-Benz has ever sold in North America. The advantage of it being front-driven is that it will perform reasonably well in winter conditions in comparison to a rear-wheel-driven vehicle.
Performance
The base model, the CLA 250 Coupe, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four cylinder which produces an admirable 208 hp and 258 ft-lbs of torque. As mentioned, the base model is FWD, however Mercedes’ 4MATIC AWD system is available as an option. Managing the power delivery to the wheels is a seven-speed automatic transmission that is smooth and well matched to the engine. At full throttle, engine noise may be a bit more noticeable in the CLA than in one of its pricier stable mates, but it can still accelerate to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. The overall performance is excellent, with more than enough power and torque to make the car feel sporty and agile. The CLA also tackles corners remarkably well. It shows lots of grip and is well balanced. Pushed too far though, and its FWD nature comes through with noticeable body roll and understeer. The electric power steering provides a sporty, reasonably weighted feel, but the “road feel” is noticeably absent as the particular design of electric steering system makes it difficult to transmit what is actually going-on underneath. The Electronic Stability Program can help stabilize the CLA by braking individual wheels and adjusting engine output. Those looking for more performance can opt for the CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC. Aside from being equipped with an AWD, it boosts the horsepower to 355. AMG’s SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed sports transmission is also a part of the package, allowing the car to hit 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. Safety is also a priority for Mercedes-Benz, and the CLA is no different. It comes standard with multiple features like airbags, “Attention Assist” - which will wake you should you fall asleep behind the wheel - and Collision Prevention Assist, which will warn you if you get too close to the car in front and even will apply the brakes.
Environment
The cabin of the CLA is a true Mercedes-Benz interior, meaning it’s modern, luxurious, and even a bit trendy (yes in case you haven’t noticed, Mercedes’ interior has been hip and cool lately). It has many of the features found in its pricier siblings, though toned down to keep things simple. The front seats are very firm yet comfortable - with a good side support - and offer an electric driver’s seat with memory function as standard. In the rear seats, the swooping roofline leaves only childfriendly headroom, which is a shame as there is a good amount of legroom. The roofline also results in a very narrow rear window that restricts visibility considerably, but we did say that this car is a four-door coupe didn’t we? On the equipment front, the CLA hasn’t lost much in the process of being transformed to an affordable Mercedes. The dash is striking with the command screen floating over the centre stack. Standard models come with a 5.7-inch screen but a larger 7-inch display is available. Trunk space is also quite reasonable at 470 litres. The opening is a bit narrow, but it’s nicely finished inside and the rear seats fold down 60/40 for more room.
Features
The CLA 250 Coupe starts at $34,300, with AWD adding $2,200. The premium model, called the Edition 1, starts at $43,200. The CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC begins at $49,800, with Edition 1 models priced at $65,900.

ENGAGE Beanbag gun brings down stranger in house SOUTH SURREY — Surrey Mounties are trying to figure out why a 45-year-old Surrey man stormed into a stranger’s house in South Surrey and terrorized three women before police brought the suspect down with a beanbag gun late Saturday afternoon. Cpl. Bert Paquet said the man, who is “definitely known to police,” broke into a house in the 3900-block of 152nd Street through the garage, grabbed a hammer and smashed a window to get into the house.

Three women – a mother and her daughters aged 17 and 21 – ran out of the house as police were arriving. Paquet said the man was bleeding heavily because he’d cut his hands trying to get into the house before barricading himself inside. Paquet said police shot two rounds from a beanbag gun at the man’s legs, knocking him down, after he refused to heed their commands. He was arrested under the Mental Health Act.

Much ado about a play that stars homeless people Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — A Vancouver-based play starring people who have been homeless, or are on the brink of homelessness, is coming to Surrey this Friday in conjunction with Homelessness Action Week. “We could all be homeless. People can be homeless for so many different reasons,” said Luisa Jojic, a Vancouver-based actress and director involved in the project. “The goal is to bring awareness… and to empathize with someone living on the street or dealing with mental health or addictions issues, to humanize these people.” She and Aaron Munro, with RainCity Housing and Support Society, came up with the idea for the show, called Much Ado About Something. Created in partnership with Jojic, RainCity, the City of Vancouver and the Community Arts Council, the theatre project is intended to encourage dialogue and new understanding around the issue of homelessness. The play stars 10 people who all reside in the Downtown Eastside, Jojic said, some who are formerly homeless and some who are currently vulnerably housed. The show incorporates many Shakespearean elements, with a scene borrowed from Twelfth Night and a monologue from King Lear.

There are also famous lines worked into the show. Instead of the well-known “To be or not to be,” the play asks: “To care or not to care? To house or not to house? To change or not to change? That is the question.” Even though it borrows from theatre classics, Jojic said it’s truly its own show. “We’ve definitely put our own twist on it,” she noted, adding it deals with not only homelessness, but belonging and identity as well. While those themes are important to all cities, Jojic believes they are particularly important in Vancouver and Surrey, adding the City of Surrey expressed a desire they bring the show to town. “We want to create openness to working together to create change,” she said of the show’s goal. “We’re all responsible for it together. There’s no longer a divide between us and them.” For Jojic, it’s been an extraordinary experience working on the play. “It’s a really powerful project.” In Vancouver, a free show for low-income folks was held at Carnegie Centre on Oct. 14, and another showing is set for tonight (Oct. 16) at Waterfront Theatre at 7 p.m. The show comes to Surrey this Friday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at Kwantlen Park Secondary’s theatre, located at 10441 132nd St. For ticket information, visit Raincityhousing.org/ whatsnew/much-ado-about-something.
