Winter festival brings viking history to life at museum “Vikings” get rowdy for the camera during the Norse Winter Festival event held Saturday (Nov. 15) at Surrey Museum. The afternoon gathering was a chance for visitors to usher in winter with stories, songs and riddles at the Cloverdale facility, where members of the Reik Felag Norse Culture Recreation Society re-enacted a traditional feast. The local history buffs bring the Viking age into the present with engaging and interactive living-history portrayals. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) See mOre phOTOS Online aT ThenOwnewSpaper.cOm

civic election

Froese wins big, returns as Langley Township mayor langley — mayor Jack froese secured his second term with a convincing victory Saturday (nov. 15) in langley township. froese beat rick green, who had served as mayor from 2008 to 2011. froese won with 13,186 votes, almost 60 per cent of the total votes cast for mayor. green took 7,595 for 34.4 per cent, while Serena oh, a newcomer to langley politics, took 1,255, or 5.7 per cent. with a new term secured, froese said he will focus on the challenges that lay ahead in the rapidly growing and developing township. “our last three years, our last 20 years, has been (about) the growth of langley,” froese said, just after learning he had been elected for a second term. “with the brookswood (fernridge official community) plan, it depends on what council wants to do with it, but what we have to do is engage the public in a better way, and i think that’s important.” with that in mind, froese said he’s looking at forming a task force to examine “what we’re doing as far as public engagement,

and how we can improve on that. then, if council wants to move ahead with those (brookswood/fernridge) plans, then at least we’ll have a better road map.” the campaign was a difficult one, but made candidates, especially incumbents, “accountable to the people,” froese said. “this allowed me to say what i want to do, but proud of what we’ve done in the last three years, but we certainly have more to do,” froese said. “we’ve got a lot of infrastructure that needs to be fixed, we’ve got roads that need to be done. willoughby is growing and there are a lot of concerns there, and it’s going to take some good management and a good, sound council to move that forward.” with future development, particularly in willoughby, public dialogue and strong planning will be paramount, froese said. “we’ve got to make sure it’s done right, at a good pace, and especially make sure that everyone has had an opportunity to have a say,” froese said. “at the end of the day, council

has to make those decisions on how we go forward, but we have to have good public engagement.” rick green was not immediately available for comment after the election. he had earlier told the Langley Jack Froese Advance he would be watching the results from his home. the fort langley golf course had a festive atmosphere with langley mp mark warawa, and former township mayor Kurt alberts there to celebrate the victory with froese.

sChaFFer mayor in City

ted Schaffer remains in the mayor’s chair in langley city, and all the incumbent councillors who were seeking re-election are staying on. Schaffer’s first feeling upon hearing the results was not elation but relief.

“you can’t take anything for granted in life,” he said. “the other candidates were working very hard as well.” while Schaffer has run for a council seat in the past, going for the mayor’s chair is a new, tougher challenge because all those running were interested in making their community a better place. only 4,187 voters of the 20,030 eligible voters turned out to the polls, a dismal 20.9 per cent. two council seats up for grabs for challengers were taken by Val van den broek and paul albrecht. incumbent dave hall topped the councillors’ polls, with 2,172 votes. he was followed by van den broek’s 1,864. next up were rudy Storteboom (1,856) who previously sat on council before this most recent term, incumbent gayle martin (1,851), and then newcomer paul albrecht (1,738). the last seat goes to Jack arnold with 1,599 votes.

The Wiens Family

langley — while the story of christmas may have been recited hundreds of times, leave the preconceived notions behind when attending Butterfingers Angel at trinity western university (twu). this comedic take on nativity is on stage from nov. 18 to 29. william gibson’s creation is brought to life by actors at the university with some unique help. local children have been chosen to play the roles of the story’s animals. langley resident Shelby wyminga plays a spunkier version of mary, who has a few modern ideas of what marriage is all about. “this show captures the heart of the christmas story, both the light and the darkness,” said wyminga. “instead of stiff stereotypes, we get a glimpse into the way ordinary people handle extraordinary circumstances, from the naive newlyweds to the donkey who hates her job. beneath the laughter, this story also explores

This show captures the heart of the Christmas story, both the light and the darkness. doubt and danger, hopes and fears – it’s sincere and relatable.” there is silly comedy, but also real-life struggles in this story of an incompetent angel gabriel caught up in a blender of christmas messages. from the challenges inherent in mary and Joseph’s new marriage to the narcissistic pear tree, and the not-so-wise, wise men, it’s a long way from the traditional telling of the story. audience members will follow poor gabriel along as he stumbles from one surprise to another. tickets and further information about Butterfingers Angel can be found at www.twu.ca/theater or by calling 604-513-2121, extension 3872. langley advance

Nine from China among grads langley — nine students came from tianjin, china, to stand alongside fellow graduates at trinity western university’s School of graduate Studies commencement ceremony nov. 1. among the students here to celebrate their achievement as the first-ever graduating class from twu’s great wall mba was valedictorian artice Xie. “the graduation ceremony was a spiritual, meaningful, and memorable experience,” said Xie. “it has been exciting to see the excellent graduates in different majors being awarded the degree on the stage, and fortunately i was one of them to celebrate our achievements with the twu faculty, alumni, and my friends from china.” delivered by twu in partnership with the tianjin university of finance and economics, the great wall mba is an 18-month program offered executive-style, with classes held on specific weekends over the course of the program. fully taught in english, the program allows business leaders to obtain their degrees while maintaining their professional careers.

community event

Langley Christmas Bureau has own ‘elves’ Heather Colpitts

langley advance twitter @langleyadvance

langley — thank you for caring, the third annual mayors’ wives tea, has a winning formula so don’t expect much tinkering with the event, keeping it to a nice Sunday afternoon tea/luncheon with entertainment and affable emcee Jim mcgregor. organizers are keeping to 500 tickets max for the nov. 23 event at coast hotel and convention centre, even though they could likely sell more. but one thing will be new this year, to help those who want to ensure they are properly decked out. “we’ll have fascinators for sale,” noted debbie froese. froese and Jean Schaffer, married to the township and city mayors respectively, have enlisted a group of local women to help pull off this fundraiser, for langley christmas bureau. that includes a great deal of community support that starts well before the event. Sarah rind is donating a jewelry package

of a sterling silver necklace, bracelet and earings from the Sky phoenix wild Star collection. it’s valued at $2,000. frostings bakery donates the desserts and other businesses have provided goods. “people love christmastime and the christmas bureau helps so many families in a time of need,” froese said. She said the goal is to help others have a meaningful christmas. “it helps bring awareness about how much need the community has,” she said. tickets ($25 per person) are available at the langley christmas bureau office (in the former fields store), the birthplace of bc gallery, Jd farms, and frostings, or by going to thankyouforcaringachristmastea.com. there will also be $10 tickets for the jewelry draw, door prizes and a silent auction. Schaffer came on board when former mayor peter fassbender went into provincial politics partway through his term, and her husband, ted Schaffer, became acting mayor. “i was only too glad to hop on board,” she said. Schaffer noted the event is affordable fun and a chance to dress up for a worthy cause.

city centre — if there’s one thing that Surrey residents look forward to each holiday season, it’s getting lit up. Since 2008, the city has been holding its annual tree lighting festival where north of 10,000 people come out to see the 55-foot tree glow with lights. the festival began in holland park but has seen most of its activities in recent years on the plaza of Surrey’s central city Shopping centre. this year, however, the city’s iconic tree will be moving venues to Surrey’s new city hall plaza and mary rukavina, the city’s manager of special events and filming, expects to see twice the number of people this time around. “this year, with all of the programming we have throughout the day, we’re hoping to hit from 15 to 20,000 people,” she told the Now. the free event typically takes place around the end of november. this year, the tree lighting festival takes place on Saturday (nov. 22). central city plaza will still be hosting free events and activities, along with the ones going on at the new city hall plaza, and the two locations will be linked by a complimentary trolley bus. “we’re kind of joining forces and partnering up with central city mall… there’s still activities on our plaza and atrium,” rukavina assured. as far as city-wide holiday activities go, Surrey’s tree lighting festival is unique in the lower mainland. “i don’t know if other communities are

Kicking off at 11 a.m. at central city mall and at noon at Surrey city hall, activities include a letters to Santa station, a story-time igloo, road hockey and photos with Santa. headlining the event is 21-year-old singer/songwriter alyssa reid and children’s folk singer fred penner. the tree lighting ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. at city hall. but with all these activities, what’s the most important thing to take away from the festival? “i think it’s just bringing the community together,” rukavina said. “making sure that there’s something for the holiday season for families and for the city that kicks something off for the community is why we do it.” kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

do you ever miss elementary school for its “show and tell” days? well, Surrey libraries’ cloverdale branch is encouraging everyone to do just that this weekend. the library is hosting its annual family history Show & tell Saturday (nov. 22) from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. this year, bring your digitized home movies, photo slides or any other special family artifacts that tell a story. to register for the free event, call 604-598-7327, or email familyhistory@surrey.ca.

it’s never too early to visit Santa, and he’s already set up at guildford town centre! Santa’s winter wonderland kicked off nov. 15 and is here to stay until dec. 23, at 10355 152 St., Surrey. on friday (nov. 21), the jolly ol’ elf arrives at Semiahmoo Shopping centre at 6 p.m., with magician ray medway on hand to help make him appear – with the assistance of magic glasses-wearing kids, of course.

Photography club focused on overlapping exhibitions Kristi Alexandra

now contributor twitter @kristialexandra

Surrey — the roughly 70 members in the 30-year strong crescent beach photography club all have something in common: a love of art and photography. until this year, the crew was happy just to get together every first, third and last wednesday of the month (from September to may) to chat at crescent beach’s alexandra hall. the group regularly holds workshops, brings in speakers and works on projects together. Something that’s not as common for the group, however, is curating an exhibition together. according to the club’s president derek hayes, who’s been part of the group for the past five years and leading it for a year-and-ahalf, the members put on an exhibition about every three years. what’s rare is that, this year, they’re curating two. “that’s not a normal thing for us,” hayes told the Now at his white rock home, where some of his own photos and artwork are displayed. “usually it would be one about every three years.”

the club’s current exhibition at newton cultural centre (13530 72nd ave.) began nov. 1 and will run on until nov. 30. it features 40 works from members of the cbpc, including film and digital photos. the second, kicking off at Surrey art gallery this Saturday (nov. 22), called Global Views, focuses on photos and digital images taken in places such as asia, australia, europe and africa. according to hayes, having the two exhibitions cross over meant more members could have their works displayed as well as being challenged to produce more. “the one in newton was booked a year ahead and then the Surrey art gallery asked us about six months ago about whether we’d like to do one there, so we ended up doing it,” he explained. “they overlapped. the result of that is probably good because there’s two completely different sets of images whereas if one had followed the other, there would be a tendency for people to just transfer one from the other.” this way, club members had more to choose from and more time to get

creative. and, according to hayes, the chosen photos leaned toward the artistic side rather than the traditional. “it starts life as a photograph,” he said of the digitally manipulated selections. “these days, photography is probably only 50 per cent taking the actual photograph, and 50

per cent is dealing with it in a computer afterwards.” Some photographers in the group manipulate their works through photoShop, having the print look more like a painting than a photo, and others even use mixed media like embroidering designs in the corners of their pictures.

A new voice for Newton Amy Reid

now staff twitter @amyreid87

Surrey — newton has a new – and passionate – voice working to better its future. “i’m going to be demanding change, i’m going to make change. i’m not just going to wait for it to happen,” said philip aguirre, executive director of the newton business improvement association and owner of the old Surrey restaurant. while the group officially opened its office on Sept. 1, it’s been two years in the making, and aguirre has been on board since day one. the 337 businesses that exist in newton town centre are now united through the bia, he said, adding “we’re one voice now, and we’re much stronger that way. “newton needed this office to speak for the community because we’ve been forgotten,” he noted. now that the bia has set up shop, it’s time to get to work, aguirre said. the group is focusing on four pillars that they say will push the community in the right direction: safety, area enhancement, lobbying government, as well as marketing and events.

he envisions a plethora of community events for the area. currently, newton only has one event per year: the newton community festival held in the summer. “we need farmers markets and movie nights and a food truck program…. right now, people are going elsewhere.” he wants to attract newton residents to “work, play and live” in the community. aguirre is even considering a drive-in movie night at the King’s cross Shopping centre. “we just want more events, more things to get people excited about their community because right now, there’s a low level of excitement in newton.” going deeper, aguirre said there’s a need to rebrand newton. “i take east Van as an example. east Van had a horrible reputation and they owned that and they came out on the other side and now people are very proud to be living in east Van. they have tattoos on it. do i want to see every 15-year-old with a newton tattoo? maybe not,” he said with a chuckle. “but i want that level of ownership of the community.” see › page 7

he noted that east Van has a gateway feature, and said he’d like to see one for newton. “when you come into a community, a town centre, and they have the proper banners, and they have the proper beautification, flowers and it’s all a seamless brought together concept, that’s what newton needs.” when it comes to revitalization and redevelopment, there’s much work to be done, he noted. “one of the toughest things about newton is we’ve been in a holding pattern for 25 years because we’ve been promised rapid

transit since the King george Station was built and investors are having a hard time moving forward because they don’t know one way the other. newton is ripe for redevelopment, we just need to kickstart it. let’s get going. that’s my job – i scream, i yell, i scratch, i fight and i’m here for newton.” he said newton has watched as other communities have seen enhancements, such as community centres. aguirre wants to see movement on the city’s newton town centre plan. Specifically, he’d like to see redevelopment of the newton wave pool and arena. “the tough part about that community plan is nothing can actually get finished until light rail is decided on,” he said. aguirre went on to say density is inevitable in newton’s core as it comes into its own. “but it’s going to take time,” he said, noting city centre’s transformation didn’t occur overnight. aguirre acknowledged the social issue is a difficult one, and while it’s not within the bia’s mandate, he said “we’re one community and social issues are a part of that. “this office would like input on that,” he added. for more information call 604-593-2294.

‘There’s so many people still out there’ HOMELESSNESS: without a 24-hour winter shelter in Surrey, the options

are limited, but a purpose-built facility coming before council may soon change that story and photos by amy reid

Amrit Chauhan holds the clipboard he uses to sign people into the extreme weather shelter at Surrey Urban Mission, as people coming in from the cold settle in on mats behind him.

he time is 6:30 p.m. the sun has set and the temperature hovers around freezing point in whalley. driving northbound along King george boulevard into the epicentre of whalley, people can be seen riding bikes and pushing shopping carts that presumably carry all their worldly belongings. one woman sparks a cigarette she’s just picked up off the ground. another man drags a full garbage can – containing who knows what – as he walks past the rcmp’s whalley district office. at 108th avenue, nestled between a furniture store and a strip club is SumS

– Surrey urban mission Society. on the door is a handwritten sign that says “Shelter opens at 7.” people are already outside, waiting for the doors to open. it’s nov. 13, the third night Surrey’s various extreme weather shelters were called to open this year. the beds are opened when weather conditions become dangerous for people on the street – freezing temperatures, significant snowfall, gusty winds or prolonged rain. the beds are then available on and off throughout the cold season. last year, the shelters were open roughly 60 nights from

nov. 1 to march 31. the program had an early start this year, as the weather usually takes a turn for the worse in late november. but even on nov. 11 – the first night of service – SumS alone saw 47 people show up to choose a mat on the floor to sleep on for the night before braving the cold again come 7 a.m. though Surrey takes part in the extreme weather program – a provincial initiative – this is the second straight year the city has gone without a winter shelter. Seventeen sites were proposed, but none were deemed suitable due to “neighbourhood integration” issues.

without a 24-hour winter shelter, the options for Surrey’s homeless are limited. in 2012-13, the 40-bed facility provided 24-hour shelter to 157 people over six months. the program led to 72 people finding long-term housing options. but since the landowner sold the property to a developer in 2013, the city has been unable to find a new location, despite an exhaustive search. according to a council report, staff explored 12 locations in 2013 and a further five in 2014 but ran into concerns expressed by either potential landlords or adjacent tenants.

I guess the biggest thing they give to people is a moral boost. You’re not worthless – somebody does care about me. at the emergency shelter at SumS that cold november night, the doors open at 7 p.m. people quickly flow inside. one man, danny, says he has been on the streets in the area since about 1997. the skin on his face is peeling on and around his nose, presumably from the cold he’s had to endure. his cheeks are blushed, as his body temperature adjusts from the freezing temperatures to the heat that flows through the mission. he says he stays in a tent city nearby, but wouldn’t share where it was, other than saying it’s in the forest. asked how the city’s street life has changed since he arrived all those years ago, he said there’s been a lot of building expansion, which has resulted in the loss of forested area – areas where homeless had gathered. “they’re all being decimated for development… Surrey’s overall plan, although i can see it’s good, they’re trying to do the best for their citizens, they’re going to displace a lot of people,” he said, noting that displacement has already begun. “where do the people that are on the low-income scale, where are they supposed to go? i don’t understand. basically, what’s going to end up happening is families are going to have to clump together to afford basic shelter. it’s looking like china.” danny is on disability and said a suitable place to live ranges from $550 to $700 a month. “that would eat up all my disability,” he says. “i shouldn’t have to live in squalor. the last place (i saw) was in a house with 12 other people and $500 for a bedroom is just absolutely ridiculous.” danny says he wishes the city would come down and actually talk to people, “bounce ideas” off each other. “there’s a lot of smart people down here. there’s a lot of reasons people end up here. drug addiction isn’t the only one. alcoholism, injuries also. that’s what happened to me, i got an injury, i went from earning $5,000, $6,000 a month to $800 a month. you don’t adjust to that. you live to the best of your means. i lost my family as a result. i myself spiraled into addiction after my injury. but that’s my own fault, i don’t blame the city for that, i don’t blame the city for anything actually, i just don’t see them doing enough.” asked what he thinks of the SumS extreme weather shelter, he says he “can’t say enough” about the shelter. “when it’s freezing out like it is, it’s nice to come where everybody’s friendly. they welcome you and they provide a nice hot meal for you. it’s a blessing.”

more than just shelter

another man, brian, arrives at SumS for the night with his wife. he says she’s terminally ill. he says they have been on the streets for about two weeks, following him being laid off from his job as a plumber. “we still don’t classify ourselves as being homeless,” he says. “but we are.”

A cook at the Surrey Urban Mission helps prepare dessert on Nov. 13, after the organization served dinner to those coming in for overnight shelter from the cold.

How to help

hile many consider dry socks, gloves and jackets necessities, the truth is they are luxuries to some in the community. to donate to those in need, items can be dropped off directly to the Surrey urban mission (10776 King george blvd.), or to hyland house (6595 King george blvd.), where they will be distributed amongst the various extreme weather shelters in the area. in-demand items are cough drops, toques, gloves, new socks and underwear, gently-used or new coats, work boots, as well as first aid supplies such as band-aids, bandages and antibiotic ointments.

if it wasn’t for the mission, he says the two would be sleeping outside under a tarp that night. temperatures were expected to dip to -2 c. brian says he’s thankful to the mission for more than just shelter. the staff helped him get clean, and helped him feel appreciated and worthwhile. “i guess the biggest thing they give to people is a moral boost. you’re not worthless – somebody does care about me.” he says a permanent, purpose-built shelter in the area is “very, very needed.” “there’s so many people still out there,” he adds. brian says the feeling of being on whalley’s streets depends on each individual’s scenario. “if you’ve got addictions, also, your family background, if you have no family support or no one to turn to places like this are awesome. “why i come here is because the people are so hospitable. when we came in here we got everything we needed, things that we

didn’t have, such as winter jackets, gloves, everything to prepare so we didn’t go out and freeze.” he says it’s “super cold” out on the streets. “and a lot of people are ignorant. if you’re dirty, you’re twice as bad, if they know you’re homeless, it’s even worse.” amrit chauhan has volunteered with the mission for about four years, along with various members of his family. on this night, he was checking people in as they arrived for the night. he says it’s been a humbling experience. chauhan recalls one man who would always have a newspaper and coffee in hand in the morning. he says he was always commenting on political matters, and discussing them at length with whoever would listen. “who would’ve thought a homeless person would like to read?” he says, noting his perception of street people has changed as a result. “i definitely have more compassion.”

‘nobody has done anything’

widely recognized as an undercount, the latest regional homelessness count suggests 403 people are homeless in Surrey. but SumS director Jonquil hallgate estimates the true number is closer to 2,000. hallgate wishes she could keep her doors open year round, but says she doesn’t have the resources to do so. working on the front lines, she is no stranger to the realities the homeless face. “it’s really cold, i went out with the police officers, they do a scoot around, and there’s

a lot of people out on the street who have nowhere to go, who are cold and wet, no gloves, no socks, no shoes – or shoes with holes or shoes that are wet. Just hoodies on, no jackets, it’s pretty depressing.” She says it begs the question, “why is it that Vancouver has heat (homeless emergency action) shelters and some kind of marginal housing? “it’s not great, but at least it’s somewhere people can be in out of the elements. we have none of those things here in Surrey.” while she understands city hall wants to see permanent housing built, she notes it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. “i’ve been doing this for 14 years and haven’t seen any substantial housing,” she adds. “we know every year that november is coming and every year… and yet we’re having the same conversation. nobody wants people out on the street. nobody wants them out in front of business. but nobody has done anything.” She’s seen the homeless population change over the last decade. back then, the majority of the street population were dealing with addictions. “today, we’re seeing people who have aged, with major health issues, people using mobile aids, and we even have a man who is a double amputee,” she says. while the city didn’t find a location for a winter shelter this year, it has also yet to find a location for a purpose-built homeless shelter and transition housing facility. a proposed location near Surrey memorial hospital went to public hearing last June and was met with some opposition, so it was tabled. coun. Judy Villeneuve says she has heard the city is working with an applicant, and hopes to have an update at the dec. 1 council meeting. She hopes a location will be found soon. “it’s no. 1 priority for me,” she says of getting the shelter built. “i want to find that location as soon as possible so we can secure the funds from bc housing and get going on that shelter.” replacing the current emergency shelter is a top priority in the city’s master plan for housing the homeless in Surrey, Villeneuve notes, and Surrey is partnering with bc housing to build it. the city will provide the land, and bc housing will fund and operate the centre. “people that are vulnerable, they need a purpose-built facility,” Villeneuve says. “i’ve done tours of the lower mainland’s purpose-built shelters and they work efficiently, people are relaxed and can stay during the day, and people are not hanging out on the streets. and really that’s what we want to see.” as per her talks with bc housing, as soon as the city secures a site, the funding will come in. Villeneuve hopes a decision will be made in January. the city’s housing master plan also calls for 450 units of transitional and supported housing. Since 2006, only 156 units have been created. areid@thenownewspaper.com with files from adrian macnair

Surrey should revisit lack of parking in front of homes in East Clayton

ome residents of east clayton are choked about their vehicles being peppered with parking tickets lately, and rightfully so. they have been ticketed, at $35 a pop, for parking in front of their own homes after the city replaced what used to be their parking spaces with a poorly used bike lane, moat-wide sidewalk and grassy boulevard of comparable size. one homeowner has been ticketed no fewer than eight times since the city made these “improvements.” when he moved in, back in may of 2013, he and his fellow residents had a gravel strip out front on which they could park. but now it’s gone. people today are already paying astronomical prices for “houses” with closets that are passed off as bedrooms and garages that are maybe large enough to fit a moped. where are people to park their cars? to add insult to injury, residents are reporting instances where they are receiving tickets because their tire or tires just barely touched the white painted line that marks the boundary of the bike line. this appears to be predatory. any right-thinking person would agree that the city should act with integrity and shoulder its responsibility to these homeowners to provide some reasonable parking arrangement for them. it needs to fix this. where are they to park their vehicles, in mid-air? any fair city would not create a problem for residents and then penalize them for trying to cope with that same problem. there’s space available for parking, and the present odd configuration could reasonably be reworked to everyone’s benefit. the now

Did people raising concerns bother to vote? The Editor, as a citizen of Surrey for many years, i was once again appalled at the number of people who actually got out and voted. only 35 per cent – how sad is that? i feel it is everyone’s obligation to vote. it should be made mandatory that everyone has to vote in elections. either put up or shut up when issues are not addressed by city hall. i’ve heard multiple concerns over illegal multiple suites, increased crime, no bylaw enforcement, illegal construction, lack of sufficient transit – but did the people raising those concerns bother to vote? all candidates did a good job, and i

Surrey First has 100% power with support of 10% of people UncommonSense Adrian MacNair

inston churchill is known for many great quotes in his time as britain’s prime minister. he would have been a wonderful interview, from this reporter’s perspective. he famously said in the house of commons in 1947, “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” it’s often used as an ironic argument by democracy proponents to prop up the first-past-the-post system by which we elect people to represent us in the corridors of power. Sadly, this lesser known quote falls somewhat closer to the truth: “the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” this election, Surrey residents seemed inspired once more to take up the call to democracy, go forth and cast their ballot for change. and change they received. they removed the only dissident on municipal council and restored a power bloc of absolute political supremacy. if this is the best example we can come up with to tout the benefits of democracy, perhaps we ought to stop exporting it to the third-world regimes undergoing housekeeping. democracy is often described as being the “tyranny of the majority.” first coined by u.S. president John adams in 1788, and later

popularized in the 1835 book Democracy in America by alexis de tocqueville, the term has come to be known as a scenario in which minority groups within a society are doomed to be marginalized by statistics. indeed, of the 698,499 votes cast for council candidates in the Surrey election, 347,723 were cast for people not belonging to the Surrey first slate. by a statistical hair, the majority (50.2 per cent) of the votes

went to Surrey first. it’s quaint, however, to think that Surrey’s elected government was put into power through the consensual majority of her residents. the truth is remarkably, and terrifyingly, different. according to the city’s own estimates for 2014, Surrey has a resident population of 509,610 people. of those residents, only 287,940 people were eligible to vote on

Surrey mayor-elect Linda Hepner gives her post-election speech Saturday at Central City Brew Pub in Surrey. (Photo: ADRIAN MACNAIR)

Saturday, or 56.5 per cent. of those eligible voters, only 101,558 people decided to show up and toss a piece of paper into a slot, reducing that number to 20 per cent. of those voters, about half voted for the Surrey first slate, which brings us down to 10 per cent. which means that the people who will be making 100 per cent of the decisions with absolute, unopposed power over the next four years were elected by 10 per cent of the people in the city. and although linda hepner won her right to be mayor by a commanding 50,782 votes, the combined total of votes cast for other mayoral candidates number 53,832. in other words, there are more people in Surrey’s voting public who don’t want hepner to be mayor than those who do. not a pretty picture, is it? i confess, i’ve lost my appetite for the sort of democracy we tout as being the best example of representative politics in the world. a true representative democracy would have half of council representing the half of Surrey voters who didn’t want a Surrey first government. politics needs to be about balancing the needs of the people with the power of those elected to represent them. it isn’t fair to expect our government to give us everything we want, but nor should we have one that can do whatever it pleases. Voter turnout was up this year because people expected change. but with more of the same, i shouldn’t wonder if the bottom falls out completely in 2018.

that when they receive my complaint, the homeowner gets a $100 fine for no permit – but they can keep their pavement unless it is an extreme hazard. why would anyone apply for a permit, when you simply pave first, pay $100 and get to keep your pavement? the city of Surrey has let this get way out of hand. our boulevards, which should be green spaces, are being paved and turned into parking lots. next is illegal construction, mostly of closing in open decks. again, of all the complaints i have made, not one has been dealt with. the building department simply comes out and posts a stop-work order. after one month, if the illegal construction is still there, they forward the file to the city’s legal department, which i believe is not actively suing people for these offences. one final note: when i phone the city and tried to follow up on my complaints, i leave message after message for city staff, and they don’t seem to return phone calls. in one case, i left messages for a month before i received a return phone call; apparently there was something wrong with his voicemail. Seems they just want to ignore the issue. James King, Surrey

132ND ST

The Editor, this is an open letter to the city of Surrey, mayor and the building, bylaw, engineering, and legal departments. i am writing in hopes of encouraging other Surrey residents to call city hall and complain when they observe illegal paving of city boulevards and illegal additions to homes occurring. i have observed this happening all over my neighborhood, and complained to the city bylaw, building and engineering department. there are also new homes being constructed and, upon final approval, they relocate their driveway to a busy road when that was not approved as per their construction drawings. i have seen a home add two more driveways, on top of the two approved. of course, that’s paving more of the boulevard in two more locations. i have yet to see one incident where the city has made the homeowner removing their illegally-paved city land or illegally constructed addition. the older neighborhood streets look trashy; some homes having lawn up to the road, some have gravel and others choose to simply pave it. regarding the paving, i was told by the city transportation and planning department

A brief guide to the other ways to do democracy PainfulTruth Matthew Claxton

t’s been election season, and fittingly, this municipal contest falls in november – a month of increasing darkness, destructive storms, and general unrelieved gloom.

really, the only sensible response is to go home, make hot chocolate, and hide under blankets until it all goes away. or to rant about how democracy ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. why do we run our democracy the way we do? why do we run pretty much every democracy in pretty much the same way? go around the world, from the faux-elections of russia

So why aren’t we trying new variations on democracy? here are a couple of other ways we could run our civic political system: • Wards. Ah, yes, the everpopular ward system. used in a number of communities, including toronto. of course, most lower mainland communities don’t have millions of people – there’s not a single city that tops one million, in fact – so why go to

and cuba to the genuine representative democracies, and it’s the same structure: voters trundle out to polling places, peruse a list of possible candidates and pick the least worst option. democracy simply means “rule by the people.” winston churchill famously said that democracy was the worst form of government, except for all the others that had been tried.

council frequently. every three months, say. which would mean a lot of people would get a chance to become active participants in civic government, and our government would look a lot more like a real cross-section of our communities. if you’ve ever watched a politician talk and thought you might be smarter, give sortition a chance! • Trial by combat. When there’s a controversial issue, there are always fears that special interests are listened to, that leaders have already made up their minds, and so forth. So why not settle it the way ancient germanic tribes did – with axes! random chance and the will of thor shall decide! oK, maybe not axes, but if a council splits and can’t reach agreement, why not have an MMA fight to settle things? “in this corner, yes on bylaw 93-b; in this corner, no. gentlemen, begin!” two pins out of three wins. mad? yes. but we can sell pay per View rights to development permit hearings. fighting! for once, it would reduce the cost of civic government!

The Gudwara Sahib Dukh Nivaran Sahib Society will be celebrating Gurpurab Diwas- Nagar Kirtan on November 23rd, 2014. Part of the celebration involves a parade in the vicinity of the temple. The parade will start and end at the Fraser Valley Jamatkhana, located at 15177-68 Ave (Corner of 152 St and 68 Ave). The parade will begin at 10:00 AM, and will conclude at approximately 2:00 PM. To facilitate parade activities, area residents and businesses should be advised there will be:

Measures, such as printed event notices in local newspapers and the advanced posting of traffic disruption notices, are taken to minimize the impact as much as possible. RCMP, Surrey Fire Service, and BC Ambulance Service are present at such events to aid the community and ensure the event is as safe and controlled as possible.

Surrey’s diversity offers us the opportunity to experience the traditions and customs of other cultures. City Council works to promote respect and understanding for each cultural group within our city. This support manifests itself in recognizing and supporting important occasions and traditions.

Traffic control will be in place beginning at 9:00 AM until approximately 3:00 PM. Please note that access through the route area during that time will be limited. The RCMP will be making every effort possible to allow residents to travel to and from their homes during the parade. Please plan your route accordingly. Please refer to the parade route map.

Throughout the year Surrey plays host to many events which are organized by a variety of community groups and cultural organizations. City Council and the City’s Festival & Events Support Team (FEST) make every attempt to accommodate these events while recognizing that some impact the community more than others.

wards? because our communities are spread out and have distinct neighbourhoods, which are often poorly served by having “at large” representation. do you think the folks in Shaughnessy have much in common with those in the downtown eastside? how about folks in langley’s fast-growing willoughby versus rural glen Valley? Surrey’s cloverdale or whalley? in many cities, whole neighbourhoods have literally no representation – neither the mayor nor anyone on council lives there. not coincidentally, these tend to be the poorest areas. • Sortition. This is the selection of public officials by random chance. So your mayor and council would be picked from the list of voters. does that sound insane? utopian? impractical? exactly like the system of democracy used in ancient Athens? well, we do use sortition already. it’s called the jury system. So in canada today, we trust to the wisdom of 12 average citizens to decide on the fate of accused killers, but to decide on rezoning bylaws, you have to plaster your face on signs all over town and spend thousands of dollars on advertising. that’s not crazy at all, nope. if we do go this way, we could change mayor and

Both men came over to ensure i was ok. i would like to let people know there are considerate men in our midst and that it makes me proud to live here.

z two deep pink roses of gratitude: First, to the kind gentleman sitting at the Starbucks in central city who guarded my daughter’s pink bag until she remembered and ran back to retrieve it. the second goes to the young woman driver who, upon being reminded that pedestrians have right-of-way at intersections and crosswalks, simply nodded and replied, “Got it.” a humble gesture goes a long way. thank you. z a Fortis truck full of roses to the wonderful young meter reader who stayed with my husband after he fell off a ladder. he stayed until the ambulance came. thank you so much.

By writing this note, you show you are still a good person; keep it up!

First off, blocking an intersection is illegal.

What if it opens during motion? Perhaps you should be taught a lesson on respecting rules. z rotten tomatoes to all the homeowners/renters in east clayton who do not take care of their tiny yards or the boulevards in front of their homes. the city needs to hire a contractor to care for the boulevards and fine people who do not take care of their yards! z a BMW full of rotten tomatoes to the classless male who did a u-turn in front of a school and then proceeded to finger the person in the car who had the rightof-way. driving a fancy car does not give you class. next time when you are in the wrong own up to it.

Ticketed residents riled over reconfiguration recent spike in parking infractions not sitting well with drivers parked in front of own homes Kristi Alexandra

now contributor twitter @kristialexandra

clayton heightS — residents living in east clayton say they’ve noticed a spike in parking infraction tickets recently, and that’s just for parking in front of their own home. the tickets appeared after the city provided additional on-street parking by reconfiguring some streets in the neighbourhood to “queuing streets” – meaning cars would be parked in a line in front of homes between the driving lane and a bike line. the project, headed by the city’s transportation division, was intended to provide extra parking spaces for residents of the compact neighbourhood, but some people living Rory Ling in the area feel that it’s been more of a nuisance than a help. tyler Jackson, who bought his east clayton home in may of 2013, said he’s had about eight parking tickets since the reconfiguration of his street. “everybody has no front driveway. in our case, we have a one-car garage and a small parking space beside it, and i drive a full-size truck so i can’t park in the garage or beside it. i have to park out front,” he told the Now. when he bought his home, he said there was a gravel strip in front of the house that he could “nose” his truck into or provide to visitors. though it wasn’t a regulation parking spot, it allowed more room for additional cars. “because it’s an area that parking is desperately needed, they took a lot of parking that was there and eliminated it for the bike lane. also they put big huge sidewalks and big huge boulevards and big

strips of grass that’s on city property but we’re supposed to maintain it,” Jackson said, adding that extra space could be better utilized for more parking spots. dave harkness, manager of parking services for Surrey, said that some residents requested the change in the street configuration to allow for more parking, and that many buyers in the area knew their gravel strips would eventually be eliminated. “there have been instances where the residents have requested and we’ve gone through a petition process and provided that there’s 67 per cent approval of the residents,” he said. another resident new to the neighbourhood, rory ling, said he’s been in the area since oct. 15 and so far he’s already received a parking ticket. “basically, in the bicycle lane, i guess (my tire) was touching just on the outside line there and they wrote us a ticket. i think it was $35,” he said. “i was parking my car on the next block over one time, and i saw one car whose back tire was just barely touching the line and they had a ticket on there,” he revealed. ling said he’s going to dispute the ticket because “there’s not even anything here saying that you’ll be ticketed. we’re always within the lines in the front and the back, but there’s nothing here saying you can’t park here.”

NEW ANDOUS ICI DEL

Jas rehal, Surrey’s manager of bylaw enforcement, said that the area has been a priority for bylaw enforcement as of late, but that the enforcement is complaint-based. “based on that and based on calls that we were getting, we made it a bit of a priority for us. because of the calls, we have seen more tickets being issued there,” rehal said. “i think the problem was that it’s a highdensity area and the community came to us concerned. we didn’t just start ticketing overnight, there were a lot of mail-outs.” rehal also echoed harkness’ sentiments, saying that the reconfiguration to queuing streets was meant to bring more parking spaces to the residents of east clayton. he also said this was the first time he has heard any concerns about the program. what could solve the issue? Jackson has one idea. “they could switch the bike lanes to the outside and that would gain a couple of parking spaces on each side and it would eliminate the need for the bike lines on the inside,” he said. changes to other areas in east clayton, including 194b Street, 68b avenue, 68a avenue, 192a Street, 193a Street and 193b Street, are pending feedback from residents. once response cards have been mailed out, residents have until dec. 19 to put in their two cents. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

Scare over white powder ends quickly at post office Surrey — cloverdale’s canada post office was evacuated early wednesday over a mysterious white powder that turned out to be nothing more than a veterinarian supplement. a hazmat team was called in after the white powder tumbled out of a package and onto the office floor. Surrey rcmp Sgt. dale carr said there were no injuries and no one was taken to hospital. “contrary to some reports there has been no explosion of any kind,” he told the Now wednesday morning.

delta — recent visitors to delta’s public schools websites through google have been getting an unexpected education in australian women’s footwear. while the delta School district’s main website does not appear to have been affected, the schools’ own particular websites have. on tuesday and wednesday, visitors to these school sites were immediately flipped over to jordanhat.com and what looks to be an online shopping page featuring, among other items, an advertisement for australia women boot. delta schools’ spokeswoman cindy anderson said the district has also been experiencing problems with its servers, and emails being bounced. “our it guys will get on it right away,” she said. anderson recommended that people trying to visit the schools’ websites access

them through the district’s main website. “that’s the umbrella website.” last week, fraser health was also experiencing computer system problems from Surrey to chilliwack. “it’s been corrected,” fraser health spokeswoman tasleem Juma said wednesday. She said upgrades were being done to its technical infrastructure, “and as can happen with technology, there was a glitch that slowed things down but we always have mitigation plans to ensure patient flow.”

How mayoral candidates fared in town centres Amy Reid

now staff twitter @amyreid87

Surrey — with linda hepner dominating votes in the 2014 civic election in Surrey, it leaves one to wonder how the mayor-elect fared in each of the city’s town centres. newton, for example, was a particularly vocal community along the campaign trail, likely because it was home to two high-profile murders, including the death of hockey mom Julie paskall outside newton arena and Serena Vermeersch, the 17year-old found dead near newton train tracks. mayoral candidate and current councillor barinder rasode broke party lines after paskall’s murder, saying the city should have done more in the neighbourhood. Soon after, she left Surrey first to sit as an independent, citing disagreement with her teammates. later, a communityhosted mayoral debate in newton’s Strawberry hill area during the lead-up to voting day was not attended

CI IC

the Now broke down the votes, by town centre, to see how each of “the big three” mayoral candidates fared:

by frontrunners hepner and doug mccallum. So, did that show in the numbers? while hepner took the most votes in every town centre, there was a smaller gap between her and mccallum in the city’s more troubled neighbourhoods of newton and whalley. of 52 polling stations, mccallum topped 11 (w.e. Kinvig elementary, tamanwis Secondary, Strawberry hill elementary, Simon cunningham elementary, newton elementary, Kirkbride elementary, green timbers elementary, chimney hill elementary, cindrich elementary, cougar creek elementary and panorama ridge Secondary) and rasode, just one (election headquarters).

whalley — Volunteers of Surrey rcmp and Surrey crime prevention Society (ScpS) were recently at central city Shopping centre handing out club steering-wheel locks in anticipation of the holiday season. the rcmp, ScpS, city of Surrey and icbc are teaming up again this year for the “protect it. lock it. Keep it.” campaign. with more traffic heading to shopping centres over the coming weeks, the team plans to educate residents on protecting their vehicles and anything left inside of them. “we are pleased to support this campaign which targets a specific property crime that we see a distinct increase in at this time of year,” Surrey rcmp officer in charge c/Supt. bill fordy said in a release. “together with our enforcement efforts, a number of simple steps can go a long way in reducing its prevalence.” rupinder bal, a volunteer with Surrey rcmp, said the team handed out around 100 club steering-wheel locks at the mall on nov. 6. rcmp and Scpc volunteers will also conduct daily parking lot audits checking for stolen vehicles using a mobile app that allows them to enter licence plates to crossreference any stolen vehicles. the team will be handing out more steering-wheel locks at guildford town centre on nov. 29.

I enjoy running in the woods as my way to fight aging. Plus it’s a great psychological benefit. However running can be hard on your body.For me it is my ankles that get effected. Unfortunately tissue like tendons and ligaments have few blood vessels and this takes a very long time to heal. Of course one still keep walking which keeps breaking down the healing. Laser Therapy has been my quick and effective treatment. This is the second injury I’ve had treated with Laser Therapy and in both causes the pain was gone after the 8th treatment. The way this therapy stimulates healing is amazing. I’m sold on it. CELEBRATING 17 YEARS IN SURREY

sweep Saturday (nov. 15), rasode said she and her one Surrey team won’t be disbanding anytime soon. “So we’re going to keep one Surrey active as a group,” said the current councillor. “all of the candidates and people who supported the campaign are really interested in making sure one Surrey continues to play an active role in the

political landscape with the city.” what that role may be will be determined in the coming weeks, but for now rasode is looking to spend some time with her kids and get back into the workforce. “i’m going to look for opportunities because i do have a number of things i can look at doing and i just need to decide where i’m going to go with it,” she explained. rasode’s previous work experience includes serving as a labour-relations officer and sales executive. coupled with her experience on council, rasode said she has plenty of options ahead of her. “my nature is that i like to keep busy so i’m just going to find other stuff to do,” she said, adding “but i’m still going to remain very active in the community. i don’t believe you need a title to serve residents in the city and just like the many volunteers that do that now, i will continue to do that.” rasode said there were no hard feelings between her and her fellow Surrey first members, with whom she has one more council meeting on dec. 1. “i left (linda hepner) a message that night congratulating her and joked that she’ll have to change her voicemail from councillor to mayor,” said rasode. “i think it’s really important that everyone works together with the mayor… and i’m

She also said this wouldn’t be the last the city would be seeing of her. “i will always be a very strong voice for my home, and Surrey is my home,” she said.

Shooting leads to lawsuit

delta — the daughter of the man shot during a 2012 standoff in new westminster has launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the delta police officer accused in the shooting. nousha bayrami’s lawsuit against const. Jordan macwilliams alleges the officer shot mehrdad bayrami “suddenly, without warning or justification” as he was walking backwards away from police officers with his arms at his sides.

macwilliams, who was a member of the municipal integrated emergency response team at the time, was one of several officers that responded to the Starlight casino at around 6 a.m. on nov. 8, 2012 after calls about a domestic disturbance and an armed man. the standoff lasted for five hours before the shooting occurred. the corporation of delta has also been named as a defendant.

It’s panto season again, starting with Santa Claus-themed fun

t’s pantomime season again. the traditional english pantomime is a perfect piece of theatre for community theatre groups to produce. the over-the-top characters, colourful costumes, song, dance and silly story line make the pantomime an amicable theatre choice for families. the pantomime is now almost as popular here as it is in england, and many fans of these farcical fairy tales attend at least one pantomime every year. Still, there are many, many potential panto people out there who haven’t discovered this genre yet – and get very confused by the name. a pantomime is in no way related to, or even similar to, mime. no black tights with white face or wordless action. a pantomime is full of sound and movement and usually tells a story loosely based on a favoured fairy tale. cheer the hero – usually the principal boy, played by a girl. laugh with the dame – always done in drag. Sing along with the lyrics when audience participation is invited. there are other rules for this genre. there is always a good fairy, and some demon. good prevails, and even the villain of the piece might learn to live happily ever after. locally, our theatre groups have evolved their own traditions. the fraser Valley gilbert & Sullivan Society has become known for pantos full of song and dance. they are also the first of the “big three” pantos to get to the stage locally. this year, fVgSS is presenting

another original scripted piece, Santa Claus the Panto. this panto continues the family-centered tradition of the society. Santa Claus the Panto opens at Surrey arts centre on nov. 26 and runs to dec. 7, wednesdays through Sundays. wednesdays and thursdays are the traditional brownie/guide/ Scout/beavers nights, with large groups of kids attending. fair warning. tickets are available at the box office, 604-501-5566. “there are many family ties in this panto,” says co-producer lyn Verra-lay. her daughter, elisabeth, is assistant choreographer, and husband Steve is in the band. director dann wilhelm’s dad, hennie, is also in the band. coproducer and co-author mike balser has his very talented wife, omanie, are designing sets. the script also got assistance from father-daughter duo Jeff and hannah christiansen (they are also cast members). board member barbie warwick and both daughters, frannie and lois, are all part of this energetic cast. the story has a surprise ending, but it does take a look at a Santa who wants to change with the times. can the world accept a low-fat, iphone using, yoga-practicing Santa? can the evil coal salesman convince Santa that more kids are naughty than nice? all is revealed. Santa Claus the Panto is partnering with Surrey christmas bureau this year. please bring an unwrapped new toy when you attend the performance. the toys will go to Surrey families to make their season a bit brighter. elsewhere, white rock players’ club, now in its 70th season, has been one of the few community theatres to own and operate its own building,

A pantomime is in no way related to, or even similar to, mime. No black tights with white face or wordless action. A pantomime is full of sound and movement and usually tells a story loosely based on a favored fairy tale. producing five shows every season – comedies, thrillers, dramas and the popular christmas pantomime, a local tradition since 1954. wow. that’s a lot of pantos over a lot of years. the players have their own panto traditions and usually fill the theatre in their month-long run. the group’s christmas pantomime this year is Babes in the Wood, by Jack horner. wonder if that is the same Jack horner who was sat in the corner eating his curds and whey. well, it could be as almost anything goes in a panto! almost. Join Jack, Jill, mother hubbard, Simple Simon and everyone’s favourite pantomime giraffe (Shenanigans) on this epic adventure to save the babes in the woods and return music and happiness to novelbrooke. the show is directed by lisa pavilionis, produced by fred partridge and stars hunter golden as the demon, ryan elliot as duke don darling and Scott townsend as Simple Simon see MINTY ON THE ARTS › page 32

Boar’s Head dinner in Surrey ‹ from page 28

(all from white rock). cast members from Surrey are mackenzie claus as Jill, lionel rust as pip, Kay ariel lozada as fairy twinkle, emma harvery as Squeak and bryce mills as mother hubbard; coquitlam’s yoora Kang plays Jack. all shows are at coast capital playhouse, 1532 Johnston rd., white rock, starting on dec. 3. for all show dates, ticket information and more, call 604-536-7535 or visit whiterockplayers.ca. the last panto to run locally is ellie King’s Sleeping Beauty. you can find this royal canadian theatre company production at Surrey arts centre’s main stage from dec. 19 to 28, with five scheduled matinees. group rates are available; phone the arts centre box office at 604-501-5566. many years ago, i dubbed ellie King as “the Queen of pantos.” this british transplant grew up steeped in the pantomime tradition, and her scripts keep the genre true to tradition. She calls this show “fabulous family fun,” and since this production does run past christmas, tickets to this show could make a great gift. Keep the traditions alive and well. go

see a pantomime or two. i actually went to four last year – i’m still sane. i love pantos because they are not pretentious, have large casts and involve as many people as possible, including the audience. it’s just fun and entertaining, and it really doesn’t make any sense most of the time. how can you not love that? a christmas tradition presented by the lyric Singers of Surrey is the boar’s head medieval dinner. this medieval madrigal feast of food and song has an almost 700year history. peter rahn, who co-ordinates this event for the lyric Singers, says “you get it all: dinner, pageantry, music theatre.” yes, there is a boar’s head – but it is not eaten, just served. it is a bit more difficult to find wild boar these days. So, there is some improvisation allowed. the choir adds some male voices and instruments, and the children’s choir also presents some songs on their own. this year, the dinner is on nov. 29, starting at 7 p.m. at bethany newton united church, 14852 60th ave., Surrey. tickets are $40, credit cards are accepted. phone the church at 604-599-6803. be prepared to be entertained as you eat your way through a traditional medieval feast.

Diskordanse’s latest ‘Collection’ to rock Saturday Kristi Alexandra

now contributor twitter @kristialexandra

South Surrey — when two notes come together that seemingly oppose one another – perhaps a note in a jarring heavy metal riff juxtaposed with one in an airy, classical concerto – it’s called discordant. for nela hallwas, who goes by nela h., the artistic director of diskordanse dance company, she’s pushing the envelope by juxtaposing the beautiful with the shocking. is it discordant? of course. and that’s exactly what she’s going for. “we went under the umbrella of contemporary dance for a while, but we’re quickly moving away from that,” nela told the Now. “it’s so not just contemporary dance, it’s more than that. there’s a lot of theatrics involved, there’s a lot of crossing of boundaries, not just in the form of movement but also how it’s presented to an audience.” run out of her South Surrey studio, Xba dance co., on 152nd Street and 20th avenue, diskordanse is the company born out of the longtime professional dance school. only in its fourth season, diskordanse employs students graduating out of the Xba program as professional dancers, and so far it’s been challenging what is typically known about the art of dance. The Collection, set to be the dance company’s third production, is setting classical and heavy metal music to a theatrical dance performance. the concept? well, that’s a surprise that nela and company won’t be revealing until a fundraiser this Saturday (nov. 22). “it’s completely different,” nela said, coyly. “The Collection is definitely not your run-of-the-mill dance performance. it’s interactive,

in a way, with the audience as well.” Saturday’s event, held at Xba danceco Studios, will boast live entertainment, food from beast and brine and wines from tinhorn creek Vineyards. what nela will talk about, however, is the music setting the performance. “the music, i think, is crossing the boundaries. it’s incredibly educated music, it’s incredibly well-written and yet it has that raw edge and it’ll go from beautiful classically educated to this full-on screaming,” she revealed, noting the company is working with esteemed pianist and composer dasha duquette, who “grew up listening to an unlikely mix of rachmaninoff, chopin, pantera, tool, faith no more and guns ‘n’ roses.” in The Collection, nela assures the dance portion will be just as incendiary as the music. “it’s different, it doesn’t fit in any preconceived notion of movement. it’s shocking at times and it always guarantees a surprise,” she said. the six dancers who will be performing in the production — nela’s daughter amadea hallwas, elizabeth tichelman, Kate barker, carolyn Zaruk, Jenessa Stobbs and Skye ferguson — have as much as 20 years between them. that discordance is what makes the company, in the end, so harmonious, nela maintained. “with that comes the lifeexperience differences. you have the fresh and the new, and you have the older souls. not necessarily bodies, but souls,” she said. to catch a sneak peek diskordanse’s The Collection, attend Saturday’s fundraiser at Xba danceco Studios. tickets are $100 each or $350 for four, and include food, drinks and entertainment. to purchase, visit diskordanse. ca or contact nela at 604220-9679.

teacher geri donnelly inducted into canadian Soccer hall of fame Kyle Benning

now contributor twitter @Kbbenning

newton — it’s fair to say that canada might not have been hosting next year’s fifa women’s world cup if it wasn’t for geri donnelly’s feet. donnelly, a teacher at enver creek Secondary, was inducted into the canadian Soccer hall of fame this weekend in toronto. “it’s not really something i can put into words. it’s more of an emotion, and it’s overwhelming,” donnelly said on being inducted. She’s most famous for being named the captain at canada’s first two trips to the women’s world cup and scoring the first two goals for the national team. the women’s national program started in the summer of 1986 when all of the provincial teams were called to what was virtually a tryout for the national team. eighteen players were selected to play against the u.S. in two exhibition games in minnesota.

the canadian Soccer association (cSa) used these two friendly matches to gauge whether they would keep the women’s team. “we were told that if we weren’t successful, this would be it for the women’s program. two games,” donnelly said. She was not selected for the first game, which canada lost 2-0. in the second match three days later, donnelly scored both goals in a 2-1 victory. “you don’t realize what a big deal it is,” she said. “at the time, i didn’t realize how important it was. i just wanted to win the game. i really didn’t care who scored, but we needed to win that game. “who knows what would’ve happened if we lost both games,” donnelly added. the national team didn’t meet up again until 12 months after the victory against the u.S. they returned to the same pitch in minnesota to play in a tournament against america, Sweden, norway and china. later that year, canada entered a tournament in taiwan and told their players

SOUTH SURREY

in order to go, they had to pay or fundraise $1,500. even if a player raised the money it wasn’t a guarantee of making the team. donnelly didn’t have money, so she went into the community and collected donations from her local legion, Safeway and her port moody Soccer club team. the money didn’t include the price of any soccer equipment she might need. “you were in charge of your own equipment. if you went through three pairs of boots, you had to buy three pairs of boots,” donnelly said. the skipper said she really started to notice a change when the women’s team qualified for the 1995 fifa women’s world cup in Sweden. from that point on, it became less of a financial burden to play on the national team and the program started receiving more funding from the cSa. She also received a sponsorship from nike in 1997, which made it easier for her just before the world cup in the u.S. two years later. donnelly spent her final years playing

club soccer for Surrey united. the team won six consecutive provincial titles. Steve Kindel, the coach of the Surrey united women’s team, said the decision to put her in the hall of fame was an obvious one. “when you start to think about it, you think of how well deserved it is,” Kindel said. “Someone like her should be in the hall of fame.” Kindel, a former Vancouver whitecap, said the best attribute donnelly had was that she remained calm under pressure and whenever she was on the ball.

Eagles positive despite 10-game losing streak Kyle Benning

now contributor twitter @Kbbenning

Surrey – the Surrey eagles’ losing streak continued this weekend as the team lost both games in a trip to prince george to play a double header against the Spruce Kings. blaine neufeld’s team lost friday’s (nov. 14) game 6-3 before losing 5-2 the following day. the team has failed to pick up any points in a month, which amounts to 10 games. “we’re pretty desperate here to get a win. the streak that we’re on is one that you never want to be a part of, but we are and we have to face it,” neufeld said. “the encouraging part is i think we played two good games. we were deserving of a win. the bounces just weren’t going our way.” the eagles sit at the bottom of the bchl tied with cowichan Valley at nine points. they are the only team allowing more than five goals per game on average. the good news for Surrey is three of their next four games are at home. the squad

has failed to win on the road this season picking up two points in nine away games. however, the eagles have the worst home record in the league going 3-8-0-1. “the guys are Blaine Neufeld quite positive and we know we’re better than our record shows,” the coach said. over their 10-game skid, the eagles have given up 72 goals and have only scored 22. neufeld noted that a third of the roster missed several games due to minor injuries. “there’s things from every game that we can learn from,” he said “we’re picking ourselves up and improving.” goalie christian Short will miss this weekend’s games with an injury. the eagles play in langley against the rivermen on friday before hosting the alberni Valley bulldogs Saturday.

Lord Tweedsmuir wins opening playoff game

cloVerdale — lord tweedsmuir’s football team put on an offensive clinic in their 35-20 win over the belmont bulldogs, scoring on five of their seven offensive possessions in the opening round of the playoffs. grade 11 quarterback Jonny chwaklinski scored three rushing touchdowns and a 70yard passing touchdown in his first full game at the senior varsity level. head coach Kurt thornton said he wanted the quarterback to attempt a few play-action passes, but the run game was so effective and he wanted to “control the clock.” thornton said he’s glad to have chwaklinski back, adding he has much more to offer the team. the coach noted the quarterback option worked really well (60 yards on eight carries) considering chwaklinski spent most of the season recovering from an injury. “it adds a whole other dimension to our offense,” thornton said. “our offense

today’sdrive 20 15 Buick Enclave

Thursday, November 20, 2014

a53

Your journey starts here.

Building Upon a Strong Image BY DAVID CHOA

General Motors was the first to market a threerow crossover with the 2007 Saturn Outlook. Built upon the internally known Lambda platform, the Outlook garnered instant success. Soon, the Lambda architecture was used by the rest of the GM family: Chevrolet, GMC and Buick. Unfortunately for Saturn, the Outlook only had a short run. But, the Lambda platform continues to live on in the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave as a proven architecture. Compared to its siblings, the Buick Enclave boasts the most standard features and a classy look. It is the cornerstone of the brands renaissance and is widely popular in the luxury, large crossover segment. However, it faces stiff competition from newcomers such as the Acura MDX, the Volvo XC90 and the Audi Q7. The Buick Enclave received a fairly extensive mid-cycle refresh in 2013, so changes to the 2015 model are minimal, namely new interior and exterior colours and a heated steering wheel for upper-level trims.

for you favourite features, but it uses online services such as Stitcher SmartRadio. Voice-activated Bluetooth handsfree calling is offered, as it was in previous models.

Buick has also provided nice standard safety features. Every Enclave comes with Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning. The Enclave also boasts the industry’s first front centre side-impact air bag system, protecting front passengers in far-side impact crashes.

The screen also serves as the display for the standard rearview camera. It also works nicely with the available navigation system and DVD player.

Performance

The Enclave is powered by a 3.6-litre, direct injected V6 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Output is rated at 288 hp and 270 ft-lbs of torque while FWD models return 8.4L/100km highway fuel consumption. Living up to its premium image, the Enclave provides a quiet and comfortable ride. Highway commutes are effortless, and while it doesn’t boast a huge amount of horsepower, it has adequate acceleration for passing. Aiding the Enclave’s calm ride is Buick’s QuietTuning sound suppression system. This is more than just a marketing gimmick. At higher speeds, road noise can’t be heard and the engine is delightfully quiet, reducing fatigue over long drives. And for those planning on minor off-road excursions, the Enclave is quite capable of handling steep passes despite its 4,745-pound (FWD) curb weight. However, the bulk is felt a bit more on twisty roads. If needed, the Enclave can also tow up to 4500 lbs.

Design

Clearly, this Enclave is not your grandfathers Buick. The current Enclave is defined by modern, contemporary styling. The Enclave is designed first and foremost to comfortably accommodate three rows of adults. It is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive, and comes in three trim levels, including Convenience, Leather and Premium. Despite the recent redesign being only a midcycle refresh, exterior enhancements were quite comprehensive, including reshaped fenders, a new hood and chrome side mouldings. Signature elements include the black-chrome waterfall grille and wing-shape LED lighting.

The Enclave’s cabin features luxurious amenities and highquality materials. The fine leather is equal to the feel of premium home furnishings.

While it may not carve up a canyon road, the suspension does provide confident, steady grip in normal driving conditions. The Enclave feels smaller than it is at low speeds, especially with the available variable-effort steering.

Environment

On board, the new Enclave features a handsome dash with classic instrument faces and a clean integration of the touchscreen. The standard 6.5-inch HD colour touchscreen works with GM’s IntelliLink infotainment system. This system is customizable and offers a high level of wireless connectivity. Not only are you able to create a “home page”

sizzling new

hot rides

Driving the Enclave is no chore from the eight-way power front seats and the wood steering wheel looks and feels great. Heated and cooled front seats are only options, but the driver seat comes with a standard memory function. The standout feature of the Enclave’s cabin is its versatility. Available in seven or eight passenger configurations, the second row seats feature the SmartSlide system. Legroom is generous in both rear rows, but with the pull of a handle you can easily access the third row or increase cargo space. On the topic of cargo space, the new Enclave remains at the top of this segment with a maximum total cargo volume of 115.2 cubic feet. That is achieved with the second-row folded and the third-row removed, but with both in place, there is still 23.3 cubic feet.

Features

The base model Enclave Convenience is one of the most affordable in this segment with a $42,295 starting price. Leather models start at $47,445 and Premium models begin at $51,545. Standard equipment includes steering wheel mounted Bluetooth, cruise and audio controls, keyless entry with remote start, automatic three-zone climate control, secondrow captain’s chairs, heated power exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals, rear park assist, and a power rear liftgate. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive forward lighting, heated and cooled front seats, and a power tilt and telescopic steering column. Fuel consumption (L/100km) for FWD models are 12.7 city, 8.4 highway and 10.8 combined. AWD models return 13.0 city, 8.6 highway and 11.0 combined.

the stylists have done a masterful job creating a truck that combines efficiency and sportiness into an attractive package, whether in extendedcab or crew-cab variations (a regular-cab style isn’t offered). the body lines are crisp and taut and the integrated fender flares have shed the awkwardness that marred the previous colorado’s otherwise decent looks. huge strides have also been made inside. the oversized controls can be operated without removing work gloves and the latest in standard and optional touchscreen displays similar to the ones used in gm’s fullsize pickups are also available. for lighter-duty use, a 2.5-litre fourcylinder produces 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque while the optional 3.6-litre V-6 makes 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet. the 2.5 can be connected to a six-speed manual transmission on certain extended-cab versions, making it the only chevy pickup that lets you shift for yourself. a six-speed automatic transmission is standard in crewcab four-cylinder colorados in addition to extended-and crew-cab V-6-powered models. four-wheel-drive is optional with either cab style, however the V-6 is required if a 4x4 crew-cab is your selection. fuel economy is decent, especially when it comes to the two-wheel-drive fourcylinder trucks that are rated at 12.2 l/100 km in the city and 9.1 on the highway. as for payloads, extended-cab colorados come with a 6’2” box, while crew-

cabs are available with a standard 5’2” or optional 6’2” bed. for eight-footlong building materials, the tailgate will obviously have to be down. getting in and out of the bed is much easier with the recessed corner-step rear bumper borrowed from gm’s full-size trucks. a factoryinstalled spray-in bed liner can also be specified while the tailgate comes with a standard locking feature. a properly hitched V-6 can pull up to 3,180 kilograms, or double the capacity of four-cylinder models. those numbers compare to 2,950 kilograms for the midsize toyota tacoma V-6 and 1,590 for the fourcylinder version. colorados are available in base, wt (work truck), lt and Z71 trim levels. the extended-length base, which starts at $21,700 including destination charges, comes with air conditioning, floor console and a sixspeaker audio system, however the back seat and carpeting are deleted. they’re brought back for the wt while additional trim and other dressup content is added.

the speC sheet

type: two-/fourdoor, rear-/four-wheeldrive mid-size pickup. engines (hp): 2.5litre dohc i4 (200); 3.6-litre dohc V6 (305). transmissions: Six-speed manual; sixspeed automatic. Safety: front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control. fuel economy: l/100 km (city/hwy) 12.2/9.1 (2.5 4x2, at). base price (including destination): $21,700.

white rocK — come december, residents will see three new faces grace the council table in the city by the Sea. with two newcomers and a returning former councillor, the three mark a shakeup of just under half of the current council makeup. former councillor and white rock bia president lynne Sinclair will make her return to the table after having served as a councillor from 2008 to 2011. “i’m really pleased to be back on council and i think we’ve got a really good group to work with,” she said two days after being elected. “i always say the people are right, they decide and i’m really pleased.” Sinclair said she would be tendering her resignation at the bia, which she had discussed with the organization prior to running. “i had taken a leave during the election before i filed my papers and i could be in a conflict of interest in terms of some of the issues going forward so i think it would be

best for myself and the bia to sever that relationship,” she explained. Sinclair served with the group for the past two years, and said despite leaving she hopes to continue her work to help promote business in white rock. “i really enjoyed it and believe very much in shopping local and i want to live in a town where i can do my shopping, i don’t want to have to go somewhere else,” she said. “i think that’s a really important part of livability.” another familiar face around city hall, but not on the other side of the council table, is newcomer david chesney. having been an active community member for years as editor and founder of the White Rock Sun website, chesney had put his name forth in five previous elections, always remaining a position or two away from being elected. proving persistence pays off, chesney will finally have his opportunity to serve the residents from a decision-making point of view. “had i got my ass kicked i would have walked away years ago but there was always

David Chesney, Lynne Sinclair and Megan Knight are new to White Rock city council. ‹ from page 6 that support there,” he said.“i delivered my message as straight clean as possible and i stayed out of the mud. i wanted to stay positive and that’s what i hope for in the coming term as a councillor. i don’t want negative energy.” chesney said he’s ready to get down to business as soon as he’s sworn in dec. 1. “i hope we can go in and throw our jackets over the back of our chairs and do the best we can for the people of white rock,” he said. “that’s what we’re elected to do, we’re public servants, we’re civil servants and i take that with a great deal of pride.” top of mind for chesney will be densification and development, which he said he heard plenty of concern about during his campaigning. “that’s simple, we have a town centre area where the highrises are supposed to be and there’s no wiggle room for me on that,” he said. “i’m not going to be approving and voting for any (highrise) development

outside of the town centre.” asked about what he’ll do with the White Rock Sun, chesney said he’ll continue to run the online news site and hopes to now include a “councillor’s report” to breakdown for residents what they’ll be doing at the council table. “ever since i started the paper i’ve asked anyone on council to do some kind of council report so i’ve put that offer out there time and time again and nobody’s taken me up on it,” he said. “i think if anything, me being on council will give me the opportunity to disseminate the council news and notes in a timely fashion. “i didn’t start the White Rock Sun to use as a stick to hit people with. if anything i’ll be a little more conscious in my editorials, but i don’t know to be honest. to me, what happens at white rock council is a small portion of what the white rock Sun is all about.” fellow council newcomer megan Knight was out of country and unable to be reached by the Now’s deadline. Knight first ran in the 2012 white rock byelection and came second to winner bill lawrence. Knight and Sinclair are part of the white rock coalition along with incumbents grant meyer and lawrence. chesney ran as an independent, as did incumbent helen fathers.

Rail bridge to be replaced Christopher Poon

now staff twitter @Questionchris

To learn more about us scan with

South Surrey — after years of concerns from residents and local governments, the rail bridge over little campbell river is finally being replaced. the structure, built in 1921, is corroded and rusted through in some areas, prompting concerns of a derailment. as such, rail operator burlington northern Santa fe (bnSf) is set to replace the 93-year-old structure today (nov. 20) with a brand new 80-foot steel span. “So this will occur beginning at 8 a.m. and we’ll have a 14-hour shutdown of rail service,” said bnSf spokesman gus melonas. “that will allow a 30-person engineering bridge crew to replace the current bridge.” the project is estimated to cost $2 million and it was initially thought the rail company would need to access the site via Semiahmoo first nation land, but those plans were scrapped in favour of replacing the trestle directly from the rail line. “we’re going to bring in a crane on the rail and flat cars and will lift off the old bridge and replace it,” said melonas, adding the rail line will be in service later that day.

however, Semiahmoo first nation councillor Joanne charles said she was unaware of the replacement work and is concerned what it could mean for the band. “we believe that it’s band land and unfortunately transport canada, in their wisdom, has chosen to allow the permits required to do the train bridge replacement without dealing with our issues and concerns,” charles said. “So when somebody is replacing something on what you believe to be your property you’d be upset about that too. “in the event that there is a safety issue in regards to the bridge we would be the only ones directly impacted at the beginning because it’s our land,” she added. “So i have no idea how they plan on doing what they’re doing or what the bridge details are.” while charles says she believes bnSf will be operating outside of their jurisdiction, melonas said they will be doing all the work on their railroad right of way. “we have been giving an authorization from transport canada to go forward with this project and will take steps to ensure we do not impact first nations property throughout this process.”

Surrey — while she may have been unsuccessful in her bid to become Surrey’s next mayor, barinder rasode said she wouldn’t be leaving the city’s political scene anytime soon. despite Surrey first taking all council spots in a clean sweep Saturday (nov. 15), rasode said she and her one Surrey team won’t be disbanding anytime soon. “So we’re going to keep one Surrey active as a group,” said the current councillor. “all of the candidates and people who supported the campaign are really interested in making sure one Surrey continues to play an active role in the political landscape with the city.” what that role may be will be determined in the coming weeks, but for now rasode is looking to spend some time with her kids and get back into the workforce. “i’m going to look for opportunities because i do have a number of things i can look at doing and i just need to decide where i’m going to go with it,” she explained. rasode’s previous work experience includes serving as a labour-relations officer and sales executive. coupled with her experience on council, rasode said she has plenty of options ahead of her. “my nature is that i like to keep busy so i’m just going to find other stuff to do,” she said, adding “but i’m still going to remain very active in the community. i don’t believe

you need a title to serve residents in the city and just like the many volunteers that do that now, i will continue to do that.” rasode said there were no hard feelings between her and her fellow Surrey first members, with whom she has one more council meeting on dec. 1. “i left (linda hepner) a message that night congratulating her and joked that she’ll have to change her voicemail from councillor to mayor,” said rasode. “i think it’s really important that everyone works together with the mayor… and i’m very happy that she was elected.” asked if, in hindsight, she would have done anything differently during the campaign rasode said she wouldn’t have. “one of the things that i’m really proud of is how we were able to raise important issues in this campaign and i really do think that was noted,” she said. “i’ve learned that it’s really important to reach out to the undecided voters and i think we ran a great campaign with a lot of support from young people who had never voted before, so i’m very proud of the campaign that we ran.” as for parting words as a councillor, rasode wanted to thank council and city staff for the past six years and hoped the issues she’s worked on like domestic violence, developmentally disabled youth and police continues. She also said this wouldn’t be the last the city would be seeing of her. “i will always be a very strong voice for my home, and Surrey is my home,” she said.
