Zombie dance pays tribute to ‘Thriller’ Gord Goble

now contributor goble@shaw.ca

cloVerdale — they came. they saw. they thrilled. high school dance instructor ginger bresnick came to strut her stuff in a cool new setting. christopher Johnson came because his mom saw prior events on youtube, loved the idea and suggested he join her. Zumba teacher nadi al-Janaby wanted to learn the “real” moves to the song she so often uses in her classes. shawn Khan and friends were invited by co-workers. everyone had their own reasons for being there, and 42 zombies in all – and just as many spectators – made the trek to cloverdale on sunday (oct. 26) for the inaugural thrill the world surrey. launched in toronto in 2006, thrill the world is an annual event where zombiefied movers and shakers worldwide simultaneously dance the “official” steps to michael Jackson’s infamous Thriller. the goal? a new world record, of course. in 2009, some 23,000 zombies at 400plus locations (and 33 countries) across the globe did the deed, a total they’ve been trying to beat each year since. 2014’s edition didn’t quite do it, but world records really didn’t seem to matter as the undead gathered early afternoon at cloverdale youth park. over there was a makeup tent, staffed by students from Vancouver’s new image college of Fine arts. right next door were the surrey Food bank folks, happily accepting $10 from each participant. but the focal point was clearly under the roof where skateboards normally ply their trade. here, the dancers converged, shook out their nerves and repeatedly rehearsed their moves for the better part of two hours. and at 3 p.m., with a video camera running to capture the show – in a single take and with no panning, as per world record rules – and official crowd counters and witnesses doing their thing, 42 dancers lay on the ground as the Thriller creaking-door intro shot from the speakers. moments later, the song, and the routine, were in full flight. one of those dancing was nicole whitney. whitney, a veteran of the Vancouver event that once boasted a roster in the high hundreds but had recently tapered off, was a key founding member of this new surrey iteration. “my friends and i had gone to the Vancouver event for five years,” she said. “but getting all zombied up and going all the way into Vancouver made for a really long day. so last year we started talking about doing something out this way.”

three months ago, the plan was put into action. whitney, along with cohorts such as natalie binns (who brought in the Food bank and ultimately managed the event) and charlotte barlow (who capably danced the lead mJ role sunday when she wasn’t emceeing), did the primary digging and, soon enough, the surrey chapter of thrill the world became, she says, the only officially sanctioned event in the lower mainland. “it’s one of the most fun things i’ve ever participated in,” said whitney when asked to explain her passion for both Thriller and

thrill the world. “First of all, it’s a very hard song to learn. but there’s just something really special about michael’s energy. Thriller isn’t just spooky. there’s a child-like innocence there.” it was a sentiment echoed in the words of a gaggle of ghouls sunday, where the King of pop was very much alive. whitney, who runs the shimmy for the soul belly dance troupe when not dressing as a zombie, is big on a follow-up. “next year is definitely happening, though i think we might need a bigger site.” goble@shaw.ca

Movie-star farmer salatin here for Nov. 8 workshop langley — renowned farmer, teacher and author Joel salatin – dubbed a “rock star” farmer by the media – will be the keynote speaker at a workshop on “the Future of Food and Farming” to be held in langley on saturday, nov. 8. the workshop is being hosted by the langley sustainable agriculture Foundation and will also feature chris bodnar, who coowns and operates close to home organics at glen Valley organic Farm in abbotsford, and Julia smith of urban digs, a small farm in both delta and south burnaby that provides market vegetables, meat and eggs to both local families and to some of the top restaurants in metro Vancouver. salatin, described by the New York Times as the “high priest of the pasture”, says polyface, his farm in Virginia (online at polyfacefarms.com), is “the farm of many faces… a family-owned, multi-generational, pasture-based, beyond organic, local-market farm.” salatin, 57, has written nine books, including You Can Farm: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Start and Succeed in a Farming Enterprise and Field of Farmers: Interning, Mentoring, Partnering, Germinating, the latter aimed at young farmers.

Joel salatin, known for his work with Polyface Farms in Virginia, is the keynote speaker at a workshop on “The Future of Food and Farming” to be held in Langley on saturday, Nov. 8.

his farm has also been featured in films such as Food Inc. and Fresh and also the book Omnivore’s Dilemma, by michael pollan. now finishing their eighth season of farming, bodnar and his family operate a 135-member community-shared agriculture program and sell at two weekly farmers markets during the farming seasons.

Join us in standing on guard for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo When Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was standing guard at the National War Museum on October 22, he was representing all of us. His task was to honour the sacrifices of the men and women in our Armed Forces who have died protecting our values. Now he is one of the fallen. Glacier Media, which owns this newspaper, has started a memorial campaign on its crowdfunding site, FundAid. The money will be donated to a trust fund for his young son. Both FundAid and Fundrazr, our crowdfunding partner, have waived the service fees. Please join us in paying tribute to his sacrifice. Go to FundAid.ca and search for We Stand On Guard For Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s Son

prior to farming, bodnar earned a phd in communication from carleton university and now teaches the goat husbandry and business planning components of Kwantlen polytechnic university’s richmond Farm school. he also sits on the board of the b.c association for regenerative agriculture and the certified organic associations of b.c.

smith’s urban digs, meanwhile, is based on three acres in burnaby and another acre and a half in delta. the farm raises both vegetables and animals, particularly ethically raised chickens, geese, sheep and pigs. “we are passionate about sustainable agriculture and animal welfare,” smith says on her website, urbandigsfarm.com, “and are striving to build a healthy agroecosystem where people, animals and vegetables can work together to nourish bodies and our community.” the lsaF workshop, which is sponsored by langley township and Vancity savings, will be held at langley events centre from 8:30 a.m. to noon and is sponsored by the township of langley. tickets are $25, and can be purchased by calling 604-532-3500.

Novelist visits the grimy side of medical history Matthew Claxton

langley advance twitter @langleyadvance

langley — life and death are at the heart of langley author ian weir’s new novel, Will Starling. where does one end and the other begin? “interestingly, it’s not a hard and fast question, even today,” said weir. the subject matter comes up frequently in Will Starling, as the title character is a surgeon’s assistant in the london of 1816. death and life were intermingled, especially for the doctors of the time. science and graverobbing were closely linked, and there were even experiments at reviving the dead, sometimes using electricity. it was those real – and unsuccessful – experiments that inspired mary shelley to pen Frankenstein in 1816. that is the same year that weir has set his new novel. weir unexpectedly found a career as a novelist with Daniel O’Thunder, published in 2009. he started out as a playwright, then moved over into television, where he worked for 20 years as a writer and showrunner on a variety of series, including the aldergrove-filmed Arctic Air. he also wrote a few young-adult books for scholastic in the 1980s and early 1990s. then an acquaintance in publishing asked if he had an idea for a novel, and a project he’d been thinking about and working on for a couple of decades became Daniel O’Thunder. For his second novel, weir had a mere five years between start and publication. its creation would include elements of his own life, as well as a love for the gothic world of the early 1800s, when “resurrection men” stole bodies for doctors to study anatomy. “i guess i did about two years of research,” weir said. he managed to head to london three times and read an incredible number

of books to prepare for his tale of early-19th century medicine. “the 19th century i find is a really extraordinary mirror for our own era,” weir said. there was also an emotional connection. “i simply fell in love with london when i was a graduate student at King’s college in the 1980s,” weir said. in london, you are always turning a corner and finding some building that is essentially unchanged since the 1700s or 1800s, said weir. the surgical thread of the novel came from some of weir’s earliest memories. “in a way it’s a wistful tribute to my dad,” weir said. his father was a surgeon when weir was growing up in Kamloops. he remembered many nights when a late phone call would send his father out the door; he wouldn’t return for many hours. the question of what motivates a surgeon has fascinated weir. he placed his novel at the point at which surgery was becoming a real part of doctoring. not long before, if you needed surgery, you still went to a “barbersurgeon,” someone who cut hair, pulled teeth and amputated limbs. surgeons were considered distinctly inferior to doctors for many years. cutting into a living human body was insanely dangerous in the regency era. there was no anaesthetic – and without germ theory, surgeons didn’t know to wash their hands or sterilize instruments. “within those constraints, they were making quite extraordinary advances,” weir said. to immerse himself in the era, weir read fiction, journals, biographies and historical works. “any fiction tells you a lot about what people are thinking at the time,” weir said. reviews of Will Starling have been positive, but

weir still has to make sure people know about his book. many writers are naturally introverts, and aren’t necessarily that comfortable with selfpromotion, weir said. he’s found a few tactics that work for him. “something i love doing is readings, as it turns out,”

he said. one of his early ambitions was to be an actor, hampered by what he says was a lack of talent in that field. reading allows him to scratch that itch for performance. weir was a guest panelist during Vancouver writers Fest last week.

in a special “throwback thursday” feature, here’s a spirited republishing of ghostly tales written by tom Zytaruk for the oct. 31, 1998 edition of the Now Tom Zytaruk

now staff twitter @tomzytaruk

raving a spooky story for halloween? not the type that’s usually served up with hot chocolate and a warm blanket, but a real ghost story? the kind that draws too fine a line between good clean fun and…something else? surrey has a few tales that’ll creep back on you. they come from deep in the dripping forest, behind the rotting fences and rusted wire of forgotten homesteads. casper, these aren’t. people given to night terrors probably should quit now. but for those who dare, consider yourself warned.

THe gHOSTS OF HARVie ROAd

of a young indian woman, perhaps in her late teens, appears at the foot of their bed in the room facing the old mill pond. “one day, the lady of the house was taking a snooze,” preedy recalled the experience of one owner. “all of a sudden, she woke up and there at the end of her bed there’s a lady, arms folded, looking straight at her. and it wasn’t just like ‘i see it and poof, it’s gone.’ it was there longer. and the longer she looked at it, the more it stayed. never moved, just stayed there. not a word, not a peep, no friendly ghosts or chatter or anything. when she got up and moved toward it, it just disappeared. “i heard exactly the same description from each owner,” preedy said. “she seems solid.” a few years ago, the indian maiden went on a fieldtrip, appearing in a young boy’s room in a neighbouring house. the boy’s father, who asked not to be identified, said the apparition “just stood there in the middle of the night, at the end of his bed.” but it was only a cameo appearance. “i think she’s trucked on down back where she came from.” ralph and angela wiens lived in the house for 16 years before moving to gibsons in 1986. though they don’t recall seeing an indian apparition, they remember other strange happenings. angela wiens said she had a string of premonitions while living there. one was of an earthquake in turkey, and another of an upturned canoe and swirling water. back in its heyday, the old mill pond behind the house was some 15 feet deep in places. wiens recalled hearing that many, many years ago, a carload of teens drove up onto the frozen pond, the ice broke and “one of the kids died.”

the history of port Kells, in the northeastern tip of surrey, is a fitful one. the founding fathers, both named henry Kells, pre-empted the land there in 1886, fueled by dreams of a grand city on a freshwater port. they subdivided their land into city lots, but the city wasn’t to be able and most of the property was later sold for small farms. many an old house still stands there today, but one built in 1954 is particularly troubled. there used to be a mill pond on the property up until the 1940s, next to a shingle mill. the chinese labourers who worked there used to live in a log cabin, across the road. today, the mill’s gone, and so is the cabin. the pond is not much more than a creek these days, but the forest’s thick and the air is sweet and heavy. they say the area along the ravine was a Katzie indian campsite long before europeans came. there’s also an indian burial ground, less than a kilometer away. elsie preedy, a long-time port Kells resident, lives near the house and has made some strange finds while digging in her own garden. “i dug up chinese that had been cremated, i guess, in the local bonfires. Just bits and pieces. the idea was to send their bones and ashes back to china.” she also found remnants of indian moccasins under a stump. but other than that, there haven’t been any strange happenings on her property. but the other house, which has been bought and sold at least four times since it was built, is a different story. sooner or later, the owners come padding up preedy’s driveway, and not for a social call. they want to know about their “visitor.” From time to time, preedy said, the ghost

the veracity of the story is questionable, though. old-timer art allen remembers a tractor breaking through the ice, but nobody died in that mishap. according to preedy, the pond had claimed at least two lives over the years. one of the victims is buried at st. oswald’s anglican church in port Kells. wiens described the outlay of her old split-level home, with two bedrooms upstairs. on more than one occasion, she saw an “ethereal, white and smoky” figure moving across the landing at the top of the stairs, giving her “sort of a startle.” “i would just sort of see the tail end of it, drifting into either room,” wiens said. “i would say, ‘look if you’re friendly, fine, if not, get out.’” but her stepdaughter, leslie, suffered a much more malevolent experience. wiens said the young girl had an “awful nightmare” of a woman hanging from the ceiling and dropping down on her, in the guest room upstairs. the woman was screaming and hovering over her. “it sounded like she was pretty angry, pretty hostile.” “she was so scared by it.” leslie, who now lives on saltspring island, asked that her last name not be published. she said she was 12 when it happened. “i remember being in the left-side bedroom. i had the light on at the time. “this woman from the ceiling dropped down on me.” the woman was white, with long brown hair and a purple dress. she appeared solid, and her clothing seemed really old — perhaps from the early 1900s. it was as though she’d fallen from a great height, leslie said. the woman seemed terrified. “i remember her screaming and falling, her hair all over the place.” she was screaming, but there was no sound. her hair and clothing were flying out behind her. “it was just sheer terror from both ends,” leslie said. she didn’t feel an impact, though the woman appeared to be solid. the spectre just disappeared. paralyzed with fear, leslie lay in bed for a few minutes before she could run for help. the room, she said, was “really, really, really cold.” that was her most terrifying experience, but there were others. “we’d turn, and there’d be somebody standing there,” she said. once, an apparition of a man was seen leaning against the bathroom door, smoking a cigarette. the family found ashes in the see › page 7

YOU HAVE A CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION But, Only One Puts Surrey First! The Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) belongs to the people of Surrey. It develops city-owned land and pays a dividend to our city that helps fund more police, parks, pools, arts facilities, and community rec centres. It also puts the interests of Surrey residents ahead of developers. Doug McCallum wants to eliminate the Surrey City Development Corporation. Linda Hepner and the Surrey First Team say he’s wrong.

Here’s What the Choice Means KEEP – SCDC

ELIMINATE – SCDC  Selling off public land to developers is shortsighted  Millions in revenues to the city will be gone  Reduces funding for new police  Reduces funding for new parks, pools, community and rec centres

✓ Protects Surrey’s lands in perpetuity ✓ Surrey’s residents come first as we invest in our community ✓ Provides valuable revenue stream to the City ✓ Keeps property taxes lowest in the region ✓ More money for new police ✓ More money for new parks, pools, community and rec centres

On November 15, don’t turn back the clock. Keep Surrey moving forward.

Vote for Linda Hepner and the Surrey First Team.

Mayoral candidates weigh-in on term commitments Christopher Poon

surrey — with two weeks left before surrey votes, some are wondering about the level of commitment from the seven mayoral candidates. outgoing mayor dianne watts said she would serve nine years when she was first elected, so the Now decided to see what, if any, term commitments the current crop of mayoral candidates would make. candidate Vikram bajwa promised two terms as surrey mayor and would actually like to see mayoral terms capped at that length. as for major issues that may take more than one term to complete, he’d like to see surrey’s rcmp police force replaced with its own municipal force, and implement a ward system (as in toronto and edmonton). “we have a contract with the rcmp for another eight years, i believe, so during these years i would like for us to get our own surrey police department, similar to the Vancouver police department,” said bajwa. “we need a local force made from local people born here in surrey, that would help us understand our crime, help us understand the multicultural

issues and help us curb crime. “wards are another big issue we have because people in some parts of surrey are underrepresented. these two things are very important to us as a city, i urge everybody running to consider these matters.” First-time candidate John edwards said he would be willing to commit to two terms as well, after which he’d like to see more youth get involved with municipal politics. “i am committed to the youth and committed to moving them along so they can take over the reigns of leadership in the next little while,” he said. edwards repeated his desire to build a convention centre and a third university in surrey, although both would likely take more than one term to establish. “i think we’re missing significant economic activity by not having a convention centre that can compete with Vancouver, Victoria or even seattle,” said edwards. surrey First mayoral candidate and current council member linda hepner said she would be willing to serve indefinitely, provided she has the support of residents and her health. “no one can commit beyond a single term because no one can determine what the electorate will choose, so we only get

to decide term by term,” she said. For long-term issues, hepner said that although the city will hire more police officers next year, “the issue of public safety is a neverending issue.” like hepner, former mayor doug mccallum said he too would stay on as long as the citizens of surrey CI want him. “i have no short-term plans but it’s up to the public for the next few years.” mccallum said most of what he’s proposed, such as the shuttering of the surrey city development corporation, the hiring of more police officers and improving public safety could “literally be accomplished within two years.” longer term, mccallum said he wants a fiscally responsible government that runs within its mandate and to create a safe community with jobs for surrey families. coun. barinder rasode said she would commit to three terms as mayor, which would give her time to accomplish her goals. “i think we can judge from mayor watts’ three terms in office that to implement a vision, the first term is about laying the groundwork and it’s not until the second

or third term that you actually start seeing the results of that,” she said. “i think it’s important to give that time commitment.” rasode said all issues take time to ensure their feasibility and urged voters not to judge based on progress in the first year or two. candidate grant rice would stay on as long as it would take to see the IC changes he wants to see made to council, such as electoral reform and the introduction of a ward system. “i think a lot of it will depend on the makeup of council and how willing the people are who are elected on council to work together,” he said. “it might require a lot of consensus building and persuasion. bob bose never had a majority on council but he was able to accomplish some pretty incredible things whereas the last two mayors we had had absolute control of council and i don’t think that’s a good thing.” John wolanski, who ran in the previous election as a council candidate, said he’d prefer to see term limits introduced, but would be willing to do two to three terms. his top longterm priority is the city’s social problems, such as homelessness and drug problems.

THe BlUe lAdY OF PANORAmA Ridge

some people feel ill at ease when the sun goes down at Joe brown park. now we know why. several years ago, during a snowy January twilight, four children were running down a sidewalk to go tobogganing at colebrook elementary school when they met a “blue lady.” they had just passed the intersection of 55th avenue and 125a street when she came alongside them, hovering over the soft shoulder of the road. one boy described the experience on the condition of anonymity. he said the woman had long hair, her nightgown flowed to her ankles, and she floated a few feet off the ground. she was various shades of blue, and parts of her had an oily appearance, like a soap bubble. she also had a blue glow about

munities m o c g in build BC forest products shipped to build communities locally and abroad.

her, like a halo. “she just came over and kind of floated around us and floated away,” the boy said. “her mouth was opened and she was making noises. it was kind of muffled.” but the children, all about six years old at the time, weren’t afraid.“i kind of felt different,” the boy said.“ i was kind of young, so i didn’t really realize what had happened. it didn’t really have any meaning to me at the time.” the lady disappeared as fast as she appeared. in retrospect, the boy remembered that while they were looking at her, a car shot out of the school parking lot down the hill, sliding as it came. “i think she (the blue lady) slowed us down,” he said. “that car might have hit us.” in their innocence, the kids shrugged it off and went tobogganing. when they got home and told the boy’s mom what they’d seen, she sent them to separate rooms and asked them to draw the lady. “at first i thought it might have been something they were having fun with,” the boy’s mom said. “i thought, if they were playing a trick on me it’ll be two different pictures. and they drew the same picture.” the nighbourhood is an older one. colebrook united church was built in 1947 and the school opened in 1919. who the blue lady is, is anyone’s guess. locals say there was once a little house on the corner closest to where the children saw her, but you can’t see a trace of it today. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

A new mayor is coming – but don’t forget about councillors sFu prof stresses importance of electing councillors who will push for the surrey you want STORY BY AmY Reid

ith incumbent mayor dianne watts bowing out of the mayoral race in surrey after nearly a decade in the top spot, the city is getting a new mayor. naturally, all eyes are on the mayoral candidates in the race for the city’s top job. but gordon price, a six-term Vancouver councillor and director of sFu’s city program, said it’s easy to forget how important those sitting in the other seats are. a mayor on his or her own doesn’t have as much power as some might assume, he explained. “really, a significant amount of the power of a mayor is dependent upon their personality and ability to create a sufficient power block or consensus. otherwise they don’t really have much power. power of the pulpit, power of setting the agenda – but you’ve got to get those votes.”

price noted, generally, people tend to look to the mayor for their symbolic function as the leader, in addition to setting the agenda. “and those are two pretty significant things but in either case, there’s no guarantee you’re going to be able to get what you want done unless you’ve got that majority vote either on the issue that you’ve brought forward or because it’s your party or slate or coalition.” so while electing a mayor one deems suitable is important, electing those to sit as councillors is equally important, he said. “my advice would be to choose a party, a platform, a mayor – and all of the above – that is consistent with the direction you want to see your municipality go,” price urged.

“in surrey’s case, of course, the issue above all seems to be crime, crime, crime. a little bit of discussion on transportation, no doubt, and probably the speed of growth. so i think you will see a pretty clear message from the electorate in surrey’s case.”

councillor marvin hunt leaving after he won his bid to become mla for surrey-panorama, the party still holds seven of the nine seats. after their sweep in 2011, we asked price what it means when a sole party is around the council table. one concern is the bubble effect, he said, where you “don’t get the forcefulness of counter points of view. “it’s not that you won’t be aware of other points of view but when you’re sitting around a council table and you have an advocate for a different perspective, who doesn’t have to take into account that that they’re a member of a caucus, there’s a different dynamic.” price speaks from experience, as he has been a member of a council where his party was nearly unanimous. “i sat on six Vancouver councils. we always had a majority…. i like the combination of the ability to govern and i like the continuity and i like the consistency. but then, of course, i would,” he said with a chuckle. “politicians sure like to have the power on their side.” in an insights west poll released in april, 68 per cent of residents surveyed said they were ready for either a significant or small change in their legislators. only 20 per cent said they would like to see no change at all. while price noted there’s an argument to be made for more voices at a council table, as opposed to a majority on council that’s able to “plow their way through,” he also warned of the dangers of too many opposing opinions. he said the two contrasts can be the difference between politics and governing. “you do tend to focus on the politics, the consensusmaking,” he said of working in a minority government. “you’re so distracted, or by force of necessity, just working on whatever the personalities and the politics are. and i think that’s the key point – is that the personalities emerge much more forcefully than they do when you’ve got a majority.” a stroll down surrey’s political memory lane paints a clear picture of what can come out of that kind of environment. bose, who served as a surrey alderman from 1979 to 1985 and then as the city’s mayor for nine years, presided in a minority government. those were rock’em-sock’em Bob Bose times on council, with bose leading a slate of four left-wing surrey civic electors council members against five right-wing surrey electors team councillors. bose has said it was tough working as mayor in a minority government. “the council of the day was referred to as being dysfunctional, which i dispute because it was anything but dysfunctional. it was, in fact, i think alive and democracy was alive and well, despite all the controversy,” bose said. “we did an awful lot of good things.” his proudest accomplishments include acquiring a lot of open space for the city. “they were everything from big projects to little ones,” bose told the Now. acquisitions under his watch included properties that now make up the stewart Farm and the surrey bend regional park, which is nearly as large as stanley park. but from legal battles to name calling, those were undoubtedly feistier times than now. plans to build a seniors housing development in

newton in the early 1990s resulted in an entanglement of legal battles. news reports at the time said the proposal generated “a snarl of legal actions so tangled council had sought legal advice on its legal advice.” then-alderman hunt was a member of the group behind the development, harwood industries and the bible Fellowship housing society. the fight was spurred by surrey civic electors council members’ denial of the project at fourth reading. in 1991, council denied approval of the 90 seniors’ homes, in which hunt abstained from voting. the developers then appealed the decision, and the decision was overturned. then that decision was appealed, and on and on it went. in 1992, then-alderman bonnie schrenk wanted the city to reject surrey’s review of the official community plan, amid rumours it had been leaked. bose accused her of attempted sabotage. also in 1992, bose came out swinging against what he called a one-sided news report that said council decided to remove details from a public report on a 1988 planning retreat aboard an old minesweeper, the edgewater Fortune, on general travel and other expenses. he called it “inaccurate journalism and leaky council members.” he believed schrenk leaked the report, who was quoted in the story as saying, “if you try to hide it looks bad for you.” she denied being the leak, accusing bose of being on a “vicious personal vendetta.” and in 1992, the Surrey Leader lost a legal dispute with then-alderman bruce ralston. the court found that a comment attributed to fellow councillor bill Fomich in an issue of the paper had defamed ralston’s character. the Leader was ordered to pay for ralston’s legal fees, and surrender an undisclosed amount of cash. the controversial comment had been made to a reporter outside council chambers, following a heated debate concerning the northview golf course. in october of 1993, thenmayor bose was served with court documents charging the surrey civic electors was not an actual organization, but a front for the ndp. at the time he called it a “frivolous action that is purely politically motivated.” Gordon Price later that year, bose and set council member gary watkins crossed swords over whether or not council was set to buy new mayoral chains, which could have cost as much as $20,000. watkins handed reporters a letter at the start of a council meeting, indicating the city was looking to do so. bose denied ever seeing the letter, reportedly saying to watkins, “you’re the creepiest guy i’ve ever known in my life.” then, in december of 1993, bose called for increased respect and tolerance among councillors and citizens in his inaugural address, going into his third term. “while people say… they want to make sure one party doesn’t get too arrogant, they become increasingly unhappy with a fractured council that can’t seem to get its act together and is always squabbling,” price said. “that pendulum will swing real fast.” the Now will be running biographies of all candidates in surrey, white rock and delta in our nov. 11 print edition and online at thenownewspaper.com.

safe surrey Coalition releases transportation plan surrey — the safe surrey coalition, led by former mayor doug mccallum, has released a transportation platform, including ideas for public transit, drivers and cyclists alike. the plan promises to achieve “mixed-source” commitments for a light rail transit system (lrt) within a year, and for construction to begin within two years. as well, the team commits to bringing in more community shuttle buses to the city through translink’s optimization program. the commitment includes improvements to shelters, lighting and security at major transit hubs and bus stops. safe surrey also promises to implement measures to ease traffic congestion, accelerate the city’s cycling plan and increase cycling funding to five per cent of the transportation budget.

surrey First commits to ‘cultural corridor’ surrey — surrey First wants to establish a “cultural corridor” in the city along King george boulevard, all the way from city centre to south surrey. the slate hopes the corridor will become a regional and international tourist destination showing off surrey’s cultural diversity. “the cultural corridor allows us to advance opportunities for incubating creativity – whether that’s design studios, art studios, dance studios, anything that engages the creative mind,” said surrey First’s mayoral contender linda hepner. a $57.5-million performing arts centre is part of the slate’s cultural platform, funded through a public-private partnership through the surrey city development corporation. it is still subject to senior government levels of funding. the facility, which is set to have a 1,600 and 250-seat theatre, is currently within the build surrey program and doesn’t have a completion date set. the team also commits to $3 million for phase two of surrey museum, to be funded through the build surrey framework.

One surrey touts ‘economic and sporting hub’ cloVerdale — the one surrey team, led by mayoral candidate barinder rasode, released a new plan monday (oct. 27) to transform the existing cloverdale Fairgrounds into an “economic and sporting hub” if elected later this fall. the plan would include constructing a trade centre, a pool or an arena – depending on consultation with residents – and establishing new transit connections to serve the area. rasode said construction on the trade centre and pool or arena could realistically begin by the end of 2015, but the design phase could begin immediately. the trade centre would be built in partnership with the cloverdale district chamber of commerce, and according to the release, both facilities will be funded by selling city-owned land. one surrey also hopes to change transit routes to serve the would-be community asset, as well as add a welcome sign featuring bill reid to the corner of 64th avenue and 176th street.

have a scary halloween – but be safe out there, everyone

veryone wants halloween to be a fun experience, for themselves and especially for their children. it is, unfortunately, a time of year when the fun and excitement of the celebration can get mixed up with tragedy. this year, because halloween falls on a Friday, surrey rcmp will have additional resources assisting front-line officers to ensure the safety of those who want to enjoy the trick-or-treat hours. but more and more, parents are foregoing much of the door-to-door tradition of collecting candy and taking their gruesomely – or awesomely – masked kids to neighbourhood parties or other safe, organized group activities. but if you’re opting to include trick-or-treating in your child’s halloween experience, some reasonable preparations will help to ensure it is the foundation for happy memories. First and foremost, trick-or-treating is more fun – and safer – when it is a group activity. share the fun with friends, and never go alone. don’t just pick costumes and masks for their scary or dazzling qualities. Visibility is important, too. make sure your kids can see easily from behind their masks, and ensure that their costumes keep them visible on the sidewalks and especially on the crosswalks – which they should always use instead of jaywalking and darting through traffic. in fact, it may be difficult with all the excitement of the evening, but try to slow those kids down a bit. help motorists by mitigating the distractions of ghosts and ghouls jumping in and out of their headlights. and if you’re going to have a fireworks display, follow the city’s rules. only trick-or-treat at homes where you are welcome - porch lights or lit pumpkins and decorations make the invitation obvious, while darkness is a clear indication that the homeowners don’t share your halloween enthusiasm. and kids, don’t dig into that windfall of candy until it has been inspected by an adult. unfortunately, over the years, it has become quite clear that, although rare, some of halloween’s monsters are real. glacier media

Downtown Newton deserves better The Editor, a city is judged on how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. they, more than anyone, deserve the best recreation, arts and cultural facilities that the city can offer. an aesthetically beautiful community centre and first-class facilities should be available to every person who calls surrey home. some parts of this city enjoy state-of-the-art facilities; others do not. time after time, we hear how children and lower-income families benefit from having access to sports, arts, music classes and facilities that don’t look like they are inner-city. it makes a difference in their lives. and it matters to everyone else, too. think of the money it costs

Downtown Newton needs a south surrey-type recreation and arts centre. It is stunning, and it shows that the residents for whom it was built are valued. you, as a taxpayer, when even one teen gets off track and ends up in the court system. add up the costs of policing, lawyers, drug-addiction treatment, housing costs and, well, it doesn’t take a genius to see that investing in people is the smart way to run a city – and saves taxpayers money in the long run. downtown newton needs a south surrey-type recreation and arts centre. it is stunning, and it shows that the residents for whom it was built are

Crime, lies and damned statistics uncommonsense Adrian MacNair

eyond any other issue in the surrey civic election this year, crime has dominated the agenda of every politician. not only has nearly every slate unveiled a platform focusing on reducing crime, doug mccallum is literally running on a slate whose name promises a safer surrey. it’s not altogether surprising that crime has received a lot of attention in this city. a number of high-profile murders this year, including a horrific slaying of teenager serena Vermeersch in september, has many residents on edge. a recent angus reid poll of metro Vancouver residents found just 13 per cent of surrey residents rated their city as safe, a far cry from people living in nearby richmond and delta, where 71 per cent of residents feel safe. with shootings and murders and assaults in surrey feeling like the status quo, it’s somewhat predictable that politicians have volunteered solutions to the problem. i don’t have any objection to offering a plan for crime in surrey. where i have a problem is in the inaccurate, misleading and outright lies perpetrated by some candidates seeking office. Kal dosanjh, a Vancouver police officer and candidate for barinder rasode’s one surrey slate, tweeted an infographic recently showing that attempted murder in surrey is

shootings, murders and assaults in surrey have politicians volunteering solutions to crime. up a shocking 600 percent during the watch of surrey First. murder is up 127 per cent, vehicle thefts are up 45 per cent, sexual assaults are up 30 per cent, and property crime is up 27 per cent, according to the infographic, which quotes surrey rcmp crime statistics. what the infographic is missing, however, is the context of time. there’s no reference point with respect to these statistics by which residents can judge how meaningful these shocking numbers are. Fortunately for this reporter, simply going to the surrey rcmp public crime statistics database is enough to add that muchneeded context to the equation. it’s true that attempted murder is up 600 per cent. but that’s because it went from one attempted murder in the first two quarters

tiCkets oN sAle Now!

of 2013, to seven attempted murders in the same time period for 2014. extrapolating any meaningful results from a statistic involving numbers in the single digits – over a time period of only half a year – is nearly impossible. it’s far more useful to look at crime in surrey over a lengthier period of time to see how serious the problem may actually be. surrey’s violent crime rate peaked in 2001 at 7,678, at a rate of 2,113 per capita (every 100,000 citizens). as of 2013 that rate had plummeted to 5,800 violent crimes, even as the population had soared, bringing the rate down to 1,175 people affected for every 100,000 citizens. property crime has similarly fallen from a high of 36,521 property crimes in 2001, affecting 10,049 people for every 100,000

citizens, down to a low of 25,912 in 2010, affecting 5,539 people for every 100,000 citizens. that number has climbed back up to 5,848 people as of 2013, but is still a 40 per cent decline from the worst surrey has ever seen. that’s not to say crime isn’t a problem in this city. surrey’s violent crime rate per capita is fourth highest in metro Vancouver (behind Vancouver, new westminster, and langley city), and according to a recent sFu study, surrey has the highest overall crime rate by a wide margin, the smallest decrease in the crime rate since 2008 (tied with richmond) and the lowest clearance (solved crimes) rate of all jurisdictions. the city is also arguably underserved by its small police force; surrey has 731 people for every one officer, compared to Vancouver’s 504 people for every one officer. then again, surrey has the best ratio among rcmp-led jurisdictions in the lower mainland. i’m not trying to minimize the fact surrey is a city with a crime problem. but the fear-mongering made by opportunistic politicians hoping to get elected does not helpfully frame the debate on what’s to be done about it. nor do misleading statistics. the fact is surrey is a city with fewer violent crimes than it was when mayor dianne watts and surrey First was first elected. the question is whether there are steps that can be taken to reduce crime even further.

promised larger and more frequent storms, this scenario is frightening to comprehend. and let’s not forget mud slides. a derailment is only a matter of time, especially for the long and heavy freight trains. i know it is a herculean task, as there are many stakeholders involved and the costs are high, but please, let’s get back to some normalcy and recognize that the kneejerk reaction with the horn was a mistake. what is needed is reasonable enforcement, responsible ownership, and indeed proper vigilance when crossing the tracks. are you listening, warren? Fix your property so the citizens of white rock can once again enjoy a good night’s sleep. and transport canada can go back to doing what they should be doing – that is, consider the horrific consequences of a derailment involving toxic chemicals in a highly-populated corridor. as you have so aptly demonstrated, albeit misguided, it is your job to protect us, isn’t it? simon Bergen-henengouwen, White rock

A big bouquet of roses to the young couple at off the hook in crescent Beach. not only did you order dessert for us, you also paid for our meals. thank you so very much. – 3 Gently aged ladies. Dozens of roses to the winners of city Awards in Surrey last Wednesday, oct. 22. it’s wonderful to see so many good people honoured for their good work in our community. i’d like to send roses to the staff at north Delta rec centre for being so great with the public during renovations there. i can’t wait to see what the place looks like after the construction work.

A store full of rotten tomatoes to the bald, middle-aged man who told me to “take care of my kid” during my toddler’s temper tantrum. had you known the situation, perhaps you would have kept your highly inappropriate comment to yourself and instead asked, “can i help you?” What you don’t know is that my two-year-old has difficulties with emotional regulation, which means that he often has temper tantrums while in public. you also don’t know that he is being followed by professionals, who recommend that we allow him to finish his tantrum before correcting his behaviour. this, my friend, is “taking care of my kid.” as if the situation is not embarrassing enough, now i have to deal with my toddler freaking out in addition to uneducated morons such as yourself. red roses to the now for printing my experience. Maybe the man will read this and have some reflection. also, red roses to the woman who encouraged me to keep doing what i’m doing and be consistent. at least some people get it. i work in retail, and this message is to parents who keep their children home from school due to illness (cold/flu). i ask of you not to bring your sick children out shopping and spread whatever they may have to me and my co-workers. the job is hard enough without being sick. i don’t like to be sick. Please use your common sense. Rotten tomatoes to the manager of a grocery store in north delta heard swearing at a customer. Great way to keep customers! Flying rotten tomatoes to my neighbour for the religious celebration of high-flying fireworks all over my roof and property. after much discussion last year, you totally ignored me and did it again. Surrey should have stricter bylaws and enforcements. i’m tired of cleaning up your mess. your roof and yard are clean.

all-candidates meeting

Council candidates talk crime, finances Amy reid

now staff twitter @amyreid87

surrey — public safety, homelessness and city finances dominated the conversation during the first all-candidates meeting at sFu surrey monday (oct. 27), where council hopefuls shared their thoughts on issues facing the fastest-growing city in the region. of the 36 declared candidates, 29 made an appearance, including all members of safe surrey coalition (ssc), surrey First, teamsurrey and one surrey, as well as independents cliff blair, rick scorsese, touraj ghanbar-Zadeh, martin rooney, shawn Francis, saira aujla, nav dhanoya and James duncan. missing were seven independents: tanvir bhupal, obi canuel (surrey’s “pastafarian”), Jas dhillon, Fiona dionne, rita elvins, gary hoffman and Jim mcmurtry. crime was top of mind for most candidates. a recent poll conducted by angus reid global showed only 13 per cent of residents feel safe in their city. that is much lower than other cities in the region, such as Vancouver, in which 54 per cent of residents surveyed reported feeling safe. one surrey’s maz artang came out swinging, saying “i’m here to cut the bs,” and “surrey First sat on their hands” while people were killed. “let’s not fool the public,” said one surrey teammate merv bayda of how quickly new officers could be hired and on the streets, noting his slate’s crime plan includes 200 community safety officers that

could be hired immediately. ssc’s Justin thind believes crime has “exploded all over the city,” saying needles have been found at his child’s school. he said current leaders have already had a chance to make a change. teammate beau simpson noted recovery homes and illegal suites were top of mind in terms of dealing with crime. ssc’s plan includes hiring 95 new officers by 2015 and doubling the number of bylaw officers in the city. independent Francis said to deal with crime, in addition to more officers, he would look to other cities – such as Vancouver and how it’s dealing with the downtown eastside – as well as engage community partners. teamsurrey’s stephen gammer said he would introduce a “public safety commissioner” that would work with all departments in the city with a focus on crime reduction. they also promise 100 community CI officers and 25 new bylaw officers. surrey First’s dave woods said he plans to build on the city’s crime reduction strategy, and said foot patrols are key in terms of making residents feel safe. he added he only believes in professional police services. his team is committing to 147 officers over two years. teammate mike starchuk said as a firefighter, he has been in all of the city’s recovery homes and wants the bylaws department, fire services and the ministry to work together to “cohesively” shut down illegal operations.

surrey city council candidates and supporters filled a theatre at sFu surrey for an all-candidates meeting on Monday. (Photo: AMY rEID) a question put to several candidates was whether the city has done enough to rejuvenate whalley and newton. many, including thind, ghanbar-Zadeh and bayda, argued neighbourhoods have been neglected, particularly newton. IC “newton is getting the short end of the stick,” said bayda, adding people are being displaced as whalley is developed. teamsurrey’s gammer said surrey is behind in terms of social planners, stating surrey has two and Vancouver has 20. surrey First’s tom gill said the current council has made significant investments in whalley but added, “newton needs more tlc” and said initiatives are underway. Judy Villeneuve said the city took the “bull by the horn” in whalley, investing $4 million, and plans to do the same in newton.

Stop the pain

independent dhanoya said as a bylaw officer, he’s seen all of the city’s back alleys, spots where people illegally dump garbage, and more. he wants to see bylaw and police officers responding to low priority calls within 20 minutes. many candidates were asked how they’d ensure a location is found for surrey’s purposebuilt homeless shelter, after the community voiced its opposition to a proposed location during a public hearing. provincial funding could be lost if a location is not selected soon. surrey First candidates agreed the shelter should go in the hospital precinct and said two locations are currently under review, while ssc’s simpson was against the facility at that location, saying “residents in that area have spoken.” teamsurrey’s brenda locke urged the audience to remember there are more than 400 people sleeping on city streets.

Fiscally responsible government was brought up several times. independent scorsese said it’s the reason he’s running and identified it as the top issue in the city for him, saying the money for the new civic site should have gone to first responders. simpson believes council overspent on the “glamorous” city hall. meanwhile, surrey First’s gill said it’s easy to throw around phrases like “freezing taxes,” but referred to a recent Fraser institute report that showed surrey has the lowest taxes and municipal spending of 17 metro Vancouver municipalities. but gammer argued having the lowest taxes is not necessarily the best way to go. “citizens are losing in the end,” he said, noting infrastructure has not kept up with growth in surrey. teammate locke wants to see “stringent reporting” out from city hall. ssc’s rina gill said she, too, wants to create a “fiscal government.” transportation was also high on the list for most candidates, stressing a lack of transit connectivity in the municipality. most candidates supported light rail, but one surrey’s brian young said a ground-level lrt system would make road congestion even worse. there was also talk surrounding the environment and sustainable development. some candidates were asked how the city can claim it’s sustainable when thousands of trees are cut down every year. see › page 18

surrey First’s bruce hayne said the city has worked hard creating policies to save trees, and pointed to the biodiversity conservation strategy that he says will save the equivalent of “two stanley parks” in surrey. ssc’s laurie guerra said the city needs a system to mitigate damage to the environment, while encouraging job creation and a growing economy.

another question put to some candidates was what they would do with the north surrey rec centre. most believed it was time to relocate the facility somewhere nearby. dhanoya, an independent, didn’t know where the rec centre was and said he would talk to users of the facility before making a decision. candidates were also asked how to ensure surrey becomes an economic hub. many said public safety would ensure businesses are attracted to the city, and stay. hayne mentioned innovation boulevard

and the international investment it’s attracting, and that new companies are coming to surrey as a result. when it comes to growth, several candidates referred to the lack of infrastructure. independent blair said the growth has left the city with inadequate facilities and park, as well as broken roads. “surrey has growing pains,” he said. surrey First’s gill said the party is “creating world class facilities.” ghanbar-Zadeh expressed his desire for a surrey airport and a surrey nba team,

saying current council has “done nothing to put surrey on the map,” and now the city needs “visionary leadership.” aujla believes residential and truck parking in surrey is a big issue and dhanoya wants to see a convention centre in surrey to attract business and create jobs.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, 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.

Dalai Lama award for man behind surrey’s PricePro Joanne Lee-Young

Vancouver sun twitter @Vancouversun

VancouVer — by the time entrepreneur John Volken sold his united Furniture business, it was an empire of 150 locations with annual revenue of more than $200 million. the sale, in 2004, allowed him to pour his heart and some $150 million into supporting two areas where he saw need: young people in Vancouver, phoenix and seattle who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, and also young orphans in africa who need food, housing and schools. last week, the 72-year-old social entrepreneur was honoured with a 2014 dalai lama humanitarian award, along with other prominent philanthropists Frank giustra and djavad mowafaghian. the awards are inspired by the dalai lama’s teachings and seek to highlight innovative approaches to making lasting change. “he is a promoter of peace with courage and intelligence,” said Volken.“he has a commanding voice that speaks little, but with great authority.” this is the inaugural year the awards have

been given out by the Vancouver-based dalai lama centre, which is funded by private citizens and foundations, but has no financial connection to the dalai lama or his office. standing in the lobby of a fancy, downtown hotel with many well-dressed business folks attending a private luncheon to hear the dalai lama speak, Volken was gracious as people offered congratulations: “i don’t feel like, ‘look how good i am.’ “in business, it’s usually a game,” said Volken, describing the constant oneupmanship that exists in the world of getting ahead of your competitor, of deals and market share. “can i do this? can i get more?” but he hoped that after hearing the stories behind the awards, others might be inspired to, in their own way, also find ways to help others. the way is to “try and see where the need is,” said Volken. years ago, on a trip to africa, he “couldn’t help but say, ‘what can i do, when i saw starving children.’ there was a young mother, maybe 13 or 14 years old, with a baby dying in her arms.” Volken’s lift the children non-profit society says it supports more than 10,000 children in more than 80 orphanages in

John Volken, seen with the Dalai Lama, is one of three individuals bestowed with the Dalai Lama humanitarian Award this week. The Vancouver-based Dalai Lama Centre launched the award this year. east africa, and runs long-term agricultural and farming programs that promote selfsustainability. here at home,“when i wanted to do good, i thought of feeding the poor, but was told that what’s needed most is a detox centre. i saw that when you have short-term systems, there is a revolving door: detox. relapse. detox.”

taking from successful models in europe and the u.s., he instead built a program where “students” must commit to a twoyear course. the students, who are between the ages of 19 and 30, pay a registration fee of about $400 and then live in shared housing, take meals together and are trained to take jobs at pricepro, a 60,000-square-foot grocery store on King george boulevard in surrey. there is no cure for addictions, but there can be successful treatment, said Volken, adding that it can take “up to five years to retrain the brain, and readjust, and learn the skills needed for long-term sobriety. so programs that set out to solve things in 30 to 60 days don’t work.” there have been some 200 graduates since this “welcome home” program started 12 years ago, and Volken has plans to expand its reach by adding facilities. “some people (dismissively) think, ‘ah, it’s a bunch of addicts,’ but that is so wrong. addiction doesn’t know the difference between backgrounds, education and socio-economic classes. we have students whose parents are lawyers and senators.”

—with a file from tom Zytaruk

surrey — Just days before halloween, the city of surrey seized roughly $13,000 in illegal fireworks and firecrackers, and issued more than $6,000 in fines. during the spooky season, first responders see a spike in the number of fireworks-related injuries and structure fires. in 2004, there were 40 related fires, but since then the fireworks bylaw has brought that down to an average of three a year, the city says. selling fireworks is prohibited in surrey, but the city says some vendors have resorted to “travelling” sales, using social media to connect with clients. bylaw officers pose as clients online and issue a fine when they connect with the seller, issuing fines of up to $750.

recent chamber of commerce survey indicated that only 13 per cent of people living in surrey feel “safe,” as compared to 54 per cent in Vancouver. i would sure like to know how many people were surveyed, in which neighborhoods, and how the survey was taken. surrey is a wonderful place to live, with plentiful parks, lovely libraries, art centres, theatres and recreational programs. more than 1,000 people per month are moving into surrey, so why is there such a bad image? why don’t you feel safe? it is an important issue in the upcoming municipal elections. while more policing, especially the community police patrols, can certainly add to the safety of our city, you should know about a group of individuals who have made a difference. Friends of the grove is a community group that has been focused on the grove, a stand of magnificent trees located near the newton bus loop and newton recreation centre. through improvements, poetry readings and music gatherings, Friends of the grove has made some progress in making this part of surrey both usable and safer. Friends of the grove just received the 2014 beautiful city award. this award is given annually to celebrate achievements in community beautification. the city has also given the Friends of the grove a grant to install lighting in this area. beauty and safety. even more important, newton neighbours and businesses

have all contributed to make this one small spot in surrey a better place. well done, and an award well deserved. Just think what could happen with more community groups like Friends of the grove. we look out for one another and take pride in our neighborhood. in our multicultural city, we may not always understand our neighbours. good place to start understanding each other better is to learn a little about the history of surrey. surrey museum is a good place to discover. there are unique artifacts, images and interactive displays in a stunning, modern space that highlights surrey’s history. and there are special programs available as well. surrey remembers is the theme for remembrance day activities. after the remembrance day ceremony at the cenotaph, you are invited to come in for refreshments, films and “peaceful” crafts for kids. local author sylvia crooks will also have a visual presentation exploring how the two world wars affected life in small-town british columbia. this presentation is from noon to 1 p.m. on tuesday, nov. 11; pre-registration in requested by calling 604-592-6956. remembrance day isn’t always celebrated on nov. 11. the langley chapter of the barbershop harmony society, also known as the 1st capital chorus, is holding its 19th annual remembrance day show. the 2014 variety show commemorates the 70th anniversary of d-day and is on saturday, nov. 1, at 2 and 7 p.m. at st. mark’s anglican church, 12953 20th ave., surrey. tickets are $20 general and $15 for students/seniors, and can be purchased at the door. be early if you plan to purchase tickets at the door. this presentation by the 1st capitol

Puppetry on water part of 2015 children’s festival surrey — “art is everywhere” is the theme for next year’s surrey international children’s Festival, to celebrate its 11th year from may 21 to 23 at bear creek park and surrey arts centre. shows from Vietnam, iceland and canada will be performed at the festival. group and school tickets go on sale nov. 4, with details at surrey.ca/ childrensfestival/93.aspx. a highlight of the festival will be Vietnam’s golden dragon water puppet theatre, described as “magic on water.… a silent lake stands against the backdrop of an enormous, intricate temple. From behind bamboo curtains, a laughing jester emerges with a giggle that makes his pigtails rattle.

suddenly, an amazing parade of puppets spring to life: multi-coloured phoenixes and copper turtles, fantastical jumping fish, pirouetting dragons who breathe real fire and spray water. this thousand-yearold tradition of puppetry on water, found only in Vietnam, is a unique and inspiring experience.” other performers at the festival will be montreal-based musical trio bon débarras, metis author and literacy advocate david bouchard, music with marnie, the icelandic puppet show Peter and the Wolf, theatre show The Secret Life of Walter Manny and the manitoba-based circus duo the street circus.

Theatre group enlists historian for WWI drama peninsula productions teams up with bob mackay for the production of ‘mary’s wedding’

To be well-versed in the socio-political aspects and the mentalities and notions of the day, that’s a whole different language to immerse yourself in.

now contributor twitter @kristialexandra

white rocK — reaching the centennial of the First world war, white rock-based theatre and arts company peninsula productions is producing Mary’s Wedding, an emotional and historic drama centred on wwi. the play, which flickers between 1914 and 1920 in dream sequences, tells the story of lovers mary and charlie. scenes flash “from the prairies to the trenches” in an emotional re-telling of war and love. the production stars young actors Julia siedlanowska and harrison macdonald as mary and charlie, lovers who meet just before charlie was enlisted to wwi. “when i first read the play, i was just sobbing,” siedlanowska told the Now. “i was just completely drawn to it. it’s a love story that’s very relatable, what really gets me in it is mary’s regret and i find that it’s

Mary’s Wedding stars young actors Julia siedlanowska and harrison MacDonald as Mary and Charlie, lovers who meet just before Charlie was enlisted to WWI. (Photo by Beverly Malcolm, submitted) really relatable. i just had a feeling when i read it that i wanted to be in it.” For the monumental event, the company has partnered with local historian bob mackay, whose father fought in the significant war and has penned a novel on the events. though a work of fiction, the play, by canadian playwright steven masicotte, strikes many real and accurate chords, including a common real-life character, sargeant Flowerdew, from mackay’s

novel Soldier of the Horse. “sergeant Flowerdew, who actually existed and fought in the First world war, was part of lord strathcona’s c squadron, and that’s how we have a connection with bob,” said peninsula productions’ director wendy bollard. “bob’s father fought in the First world war alongside Flowerdew… so we’re incredibly fortunate to have (him) onboard to help us and to explain the stories.” mackay said the script does an

incredible job of being accurate, through what he’s learned from his father. “there are all kinds of things in the play that make me think steven massicotte did a lot of research and when he wrote the play, he really understood the background very well,” the historian said. the play’s stars agree with director bollard, who said that having a historian to help with the context is advantageous. “it’s good to get second-hand

information from memories. it’s not just reading on wikipedia or studying it coldly,” siedlanowska said. “you can add different motivations through people’s recollections.” her co-star, mcdonald, echoed the sentiment. “it’s easy to understand the human aspects and the emotions, but to be well-versed in the socio-political aspects and the mentalities and notions of the day, that’s a whole different language to immerse yourself in,” he said. “that’s why bob’s here and that’s what we’re learning from him.” the production runs nightly from nov. 12 to 15 at white rock elementary’s black box theatre at 8 p.m. tickets are $20 and can be purchased at peninsulaproductions. org. a nov. 11 show at 2 p.m. will be free for veterans and their families, and by donation for the general public.

go! Film festival

Director launches first feature at surrey Film Fest surrey — to make an award-winning feature film, more often than not a lot of hope and a big financial investment is involved. For award-winning filmmaker Joshua caldwell, whose first feature film layover will be screened during the surrey international Film Festival, all it took was $6,000 and a lot of passion. “we shot it on the canon 5d,” caldwell told the now via phone from his los angeles home. “it was such a bare bones production… i operated the camera for 98 per cent of the film.” caldwell, a seattle native living in l.a., is naturally no stranger to the rain, and says he’s excited to launch his feature film at surrey’s eighth annual international film fest. other films being screened at siFF, which takes place on nov. 1 and 14, include shorts by local and international filmmakers. Festival director glen chua is taking the reigns on this year’s siFF. “what am i doing here” by director wahid ibn reza from ubc, “Knocking on death’s door” by director cole Jackson

from capilano university and “solipsism” by director Jack chen of Fleetwood park secondary are the featuring short films by local filmmakers. international shorts include new Zealand director ivan barge’s “snooze time,” english director edward housden’s “the Vegan muffin,” spanish director aitor gutiérrez’s “anomalo” and caldwell’s “dig.” caldwell initially wrote the screenplay for layover in english, but the film itself is in French. shot entirely in caldwell’s now-hometown of l.a., the film was able to stay within its three-figure budget. without giving too much away, the filmmaker says his film is “about how strangers can come into your life for a brief minute.” the surrey international Film Festival takes place on saturday, nov. 1 at surrey arts centre starting at 6:30 p.m., and on Friday, nov. 14 at 6 p.m. admission to the event is free, but rsVp @ surreyfilmfest.ca to secure tickets.

surrey players learn five D’s of dodgeball local dodgeball league shows it’s the fastest growing sport in the city with 250 members signed up this year Kyle Benning

now contributor twitter @kbbenning

guildFord – late dodgeball all-star patches o’houlihan said, “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.” but don’t expect to see any flying steel tools in the surrey dodgeball league. with approximately 250 members signed up in 12 months, it’s fair to say that the sdl is one of the fastest growing sports leagues in the city. Kevin Vo, founder of the league, has been playing the sport for eight years and said the idea came to him when he no longer wanted to travel to Vancouver to play dodgeball. he used to play with the Vancouver dodgeball league, but always was asked what it was like by his friends in surrey who wanted to try it. the dodgeball veteran decided to rent out an elementary school gym and hold drop-in games open to his friends and anyone else who was interested in picking up the sport. “at the beginning i wasn’t sure if it was going to work. drop-in was 20 to 25 people,” said Vo. “after two months, we started asking people, ‘is there a chance you want to put in a team?’” after six weeks of drop-in games, the founder saw that there was enough interest and in september 2013, decided to start sdl. in the first season, which ran for five months, the league had 10 teams. in the second season, it more than doubled to 24 teams. this september marked sdl’s first anniversary and third season. it has now expanded to 32 teams and three divisions – gold, silver and bronze. Vo said the reason he thinks the league has become so popular is it allows adults to “relive the memories” they had as children. “it’s a childhood game that you played

Tristan hill prepares to throw a ball during a surrey Dodgeball League game at hjorth road Elementary. (Photo: KYLE BENNING) when you where younger and now you can play it as an adult,” he said. as well as the thrill of hitting a fellow competitor with the ball, Vo has built a community around the league, as many of the players have become close friends. “regardless of your athletic skill or ability, you can come here and have fun,” said Vo. “it’s growing into a tight-knit community.” alan mach has been part of the league since it started and said the players have become so close, some started doing other

unrelated activities together like fantasy sports leagues. mach never played dodgeball before entering the sdl and said it feels good to be an adult playing a child’s game. “it brings back memories,” he said. “now that you’re an adult, you have the abilities of an adult playing a child’s sport.” Jessica sinclair started playing in the sdl this season and said the league runs very efficiently. “they’re really professional. we did a skills clinic last night and they taught us so

much,” she said. as well as holding skills clinics for newer players, the league also hosted two tournaments this year with the money raised going to surrey’s bc spca branch and the surrey Food bank. the tournament in march raised $2,556 and 517 pounds of food for the food bank, while the July tournament raised $3,225 for the spca.

semiahmoo swim team strokes to four titles Kyle Benning

It’s not easy getting up at five in the morning five times a week...

Fleetwood – semiahmoo secondary swim team repeated their performance from last year’s Fraser Valley championships by front crawling to the same four titles on oct. 23. the totems senior boys, senior girls and junior girls teams all won their divisions, which gave the secondary school the best overall team banner as well. like last year, they missed out on the junior boys’ banner. despite not sweeping the meet, the team – especially the seniors – is delighted with their performance at surrey sport & leisure centre. “it’s been a great experience having this journey. growing up in this sport and making it to this level, we feel really proud of our accomplishments,” said grade 12 student athlete darren yuan. most of the team has competed for the pacific sea wolves swim club, and david Zhang said all of the hours swimming laps were worth it. “it’s not easy getting up at five in the

Nicholas shang, Grade 9, was part of the semiahmoo secondary senior boys’ relay team that won the 200-metre freestyle relay with a combined time of 1:43.06. It was the final event of the day and helped the Totems clinch the senior boys’ banner.

chelsea ribeiro was one of the students who competed at the cross-country Fraser Valley championships the day before the aquatics Fraser Valley championships. “i was pretty tired, but i just went into it

just trying to go as hard as i could and do my best to help out the team,” said ribeiro, who helped bring three banners to her school in two days. Karlene clapham, the head coach of the team, said it gets difficult to handle a 58member team, but added some of the more experienced athletes can coach themselves through events. “it’s a little hairy, but they know their stuff,” she said. “it has been four or five years i’ve been doing this with these guys and every year, they know a little bit better. that’s why we have such a great grade 12 contingent.” clapham, who also coaches the pacific sea wolves, added that it was even more impressive considering the team only had three weeks to train due to the bctF strike. the provincial championships take place on nov. 14 at watermania in richmond.

This new car is moving up to compete with the 5-series and the Mercedes-Benz E-class

“Some folks built like this. Some folks built like that. But the way I’m built – don’t you ever call me fat. ‘Cause I’m built for comfort; I ain’t built for speed. But I got everything, all a good girl might need.” And that’s the old Cadillac, Willie Dixon slingin’ the twelve-bar blues, black paint, chrome, and a cushy suspension floatin’ you on down the road to N’Awlins and the big muddy. A car? More like a paddleboat steamer with a big ol’ grille, I reckon. It’s heady stuff, but an image that faded away in the new dawn of a world favouring agility and fuel-economy. No more land-yachts: luxury might still be big, but performance credentials are needed for true bragging rights. Mercedes-Benz had AMG. BMW had M. Cadillac had the Cimarron. Uh-oh. Happily, as part of General Motors, Cadillac also had access to the brains behind some of the fastest machinery ever to come out of Detroit. They gave Cadillac the V-series, a badge which this latest new CTS mid-sized sedan wears proudly. As I flick the shifter into manual mode, and drop down a gear, Willie Dixon’s voice fades out on the satellite radio, and the track changes. It’s Jackie Brenston and a young Ike Turner, hammering out “Rocket 88” at an up tempo speed. That song, homage to an Oldsmobile V8 that once scorched up the highways, was based on a song called “Cadillac Boogie.” You heard the man, big Caddy. Let’s boogie.

Design:

The new CTS sedan stretches out longer than the previous generation by a good four inches or so. With Cadillac’s new ATS sedan taking on the BMW 3-series, this new car is moving up to compete with the 5-series and the Mercedes-Benz E-class.

On looks alone, it’s certainly got the chops to do so. Cadillac’s signature straight-edged styling has evolved somewhat from the original CTS’s very angular profile, and the addition of “waterfall-effect” LED lighting gives the car a unique look you can spot from a mile away. At night, it looks more Blade Runner than Goodfellas. As you’d expect from a Cadillac, the front is dominated by an enormous grille, with a glassed-in emblem the size of Shaquille O’Neal’s palm. The rest of the car is actually quite reserved, from a single strong accent line running the length of the side profile to the twin integrated exhausts out back. Even the V-badge is a fairly subtle arrangement of chrome with a red slash. The wheels are 18” alloys (standard on the V-Series) and they wear sticky Pirelli rubber in a run-flat application. Pirellis tend to wear more quickly than other tires, and that’s probably a good thing here as run-flat tires often ruin the way cars ride.

Environment:

While longer than the outgoing car, the CTS is still smaller inside than other offerings in the class. The back seats aren’t exactly cramped, but the Cadillac falls behind both BMW and Mercedes in terms of total passenger volume, including trunk space. Beyond that, it’s very nicely laid-out, with carbon-fibre trim and very comfortable seats. Fit and finish is up to a competitive level, and it looks great in here. Or at least it does when clean.

Performance:

Spec’ing the V-sport version of the CTS gets you the upgraded brakes and rim-sizes you might find in the German brands. It also gives you a twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6 cranking out 420hp – jiminy cricket! The V6 purrs along on the highway, usually netting around 8.5L/100kms, and then transforms the car into a backroad barn-burner. Chevy makes such good V8s you sort of wonder why this car doesn’t have one, but the twin-turbo six sounds angelic and hauls like a demon. I’ll take it. Forget all the lead-sled slow-rolling of the past, this isn’t the car once desired by the characters of Tin Men, this is a lightweight creation of magnesium and aluminum that weighs a good 10% less than the equivalent BMW 5-series. It storms to 100km/h in four and a half seconds, pulls nearly a full g on the skidpad, and carves up a backroad with stiletto precision. The steering is electric power-assist, but whoever did the programming on it deserves a medal. It’s excellent, and gives the CTS life beneath your fingertips. The eight-speed transmission is slightly more of a mixed bag: the paddle-shifters aren’t quite as quick as they could be so better to choose one of the four selectable automatic modes and let the computer set the gear for you. Also, in “Touring” mode, the 8-speed sometimes doesn’t hold onto top gear long enough – with this much power, there’s no need to drop down a gear suddenly under gentle acceleration. Quibbles aside, this is one of the best driving experiences you can get from a luxury sedan without shelling out huge money for an M5 or Mercedes AMG. It’s built for speed, and as far as the comfort side of things goes, the ride would be just about perfect if the tires weren’t run-flats.

Cadillac’s CUE system takes a bit of getting used to, as it’s less intuitive than some of the other infotainment options on the market, but between the steering-wheel-mounted redundant controls and voice commands, mastering it isn’t too bad. Some of the haptic functions remain frustrating – like the volume slider – but the rest is workable. If you have the car for a week, you’ll only just be getting used to it; after a month, I’d imagine it’d be second nature.

Navigation is standard on the CTS V-Sport, as are a host of driver aids including backup camera, rear-traffic assist, and blind-spot monitoring. You also get an enormous sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, and a colour heads-up display.

But do yourself a favour: keep a microfibre cloth and/or detailing spray in the glove box as the glossy surface collects fingerprint smudges and fluff like crazy.

Fuel economy is officially rated at 13.5L/100kms in the city and 8.4L/100kms on the highway. The CTS hits the highway figure without breaking a sweat.

White rock mayoral candidate Bradshaw releases platform

white rocK — mayoral candidate david bradshaw has unveiled his platform, citing a “community first” approach to the direction he wants to take white rock. as the only candidate challenging incumbent wayne baldwin, bradshaw said his campaign would be focusing on three key issues: quality of life, the official community plan (ocp) and tax reduction. For the first point, bradshaw said he’d like to see the essence of white rock’s community preserved. “we’re a beach community, not a highrise

shines the brightest

community, not a community about putting outside interests before the people living here,” he said. “i am in favour of hearing from the community as much as possible in any ongoing administration, that includes referenda if necessary to engage where the community’s feelings are at on important issues.” that extends to development, said bradshaw. “i want to encourage development that harmonizes with the community’s values as opposed to strictly commercial interests,” he added. as for the ocp, bradshaw said he feels the current administration has been selective at best in following the document.

inForm civic election “i don’t think the current administration is following it and i think they’ve created many diversions in order to avoid it,” he explained. “there are too many zonings and a particular zoning called ‘comprehensive development’ allows developers to do anything they can get away with, so i want to see the ocp followed as the highest priority.” Finally, bradshaw would like to see an increase in city services while at the same time reducing taxes for residents and businesses alike. “i have a feeling once we get into the books, we’ll find ways to do both,” he said, acknowledging the challenge. “i think the operations at the present time are very inefficient and ineffective and if we increase efficiencies there’s a good chance of doing both.” bradshaw likened the current state of city hall departments to silos, in that they don’t seem to work together. “the planning department is a world unto itself and the engineering department is a world unto itself. there’s a total lack of co-ordinated effort and that needs to change,” he said. “if tax reduction is not possible, then we definitely need an increase in
