Williams Park
thieves for cancellation of a christmas tradition langley — a holiday tradition that has been running in langley since 1991 is being cancelled this year. “the grinch truly stole Christmas in Williams Park,” said barb sharp, president of the Christmas in Williams Park society. for the first time in more than two decades, the park will not be decked out in lights and displays for all to enjoy because thieves have made off with more than $10,000 in decorations. this is the second year in a row the event has suffered serious loss to thieves. While a massive late effort saved the event last year, the organizers say that this time there is not enough time to come up with the money and human resources required to stage the event. this year’s theft was discovered at the end of october, after the society had started meeting and planning for the 2014 event. “how do you bounce back from that?”
asked sharp. “our volunteers are thinking, ‘again? We got hit again?’ it really is a disappointment.” each year, Williams Park has been adorned with thousands of lights, inflatables, cut-outs and other decorations that transform the natural space into a winter wonderland. guests are invited to drive through the park for two weeks, and the event has culminated with two nights of entertainment, horse-and-carriage rides, refreshments and a visit from santa. money to hold the annual event comes from donations collected from the public, and it is staged through the work and efforts of the volunteer-run society, with support from langley township staff. numerous community members, service groups and organizations such as the elks Club, trinity Western university, CuPe and local firefighters all come out to set up
We lost all the lights we had. the volunteers were so deflated. What can we do? the community has been very generous in the past, but we simply can’t raise enough money in that time frame.
and clean up, serve food and drinks and provide entertainment. however, over the years, Christmas in Williams Park’s volunteer base has been diminishing, and those who have worked so hard to make the event happen are feeling depressed by the rash of thefts and
vandalism. “We lost all the lights we had,” said sharp. “the volunteers were so deflated. What can we do? the community has been very generous in the past, but we simply can’t raise enough money in that time frame.” this is not the end of Christmas in Williams Park, however. sharp said that, during the hiatus, the society will seek help and contributions from the community to regenerate the event, along with a new place to store its decorations. she has approval from the committee to look for support from other organizations, the business community, student groups, clubs and community volunteers. “We are going to turn a negative into a positive and come back with an event that is spectacular,” sharp said. langley advance

medicine? two things Canadians take for granted as basic human rights were unheard of back in the 1800s. the power of dickens work to still move a modern audience will be demonstrated this saturday (nov. 29) with a reading of dickens’ A Christmas Carol. “simply put, regardless of era, the human condition never changes,” said rose hominick, one of the event organizers. “Charles dickens depicted the struggle for human connection and happiness like few before or after him. in the characters of fred, bob, tiny tim and even miserable, lost ebenezer scrooge, we see a reflection of ourselves and we are given hope that their happy ending might one day be our own.” hominick and her husband, eric, have rounded up a team of people who will don period costumes and perform the show with proceeds from the dramatic reading going to the langley Pos-abilities society, which advocates for the disabled in the community. seven readers will perform the show in a set festooned with seasonal decorations. the performers will be costumed in dickens-era style. “dressing up respects the story and the writer, honours the audience and attracts and commands their better attention and interest, and helps the performer better feel the part he or she is playing,” eric commented. “Clothes not only make the man, they elicit a better response from others and help the performer perform at a high level. and dressing in period costume better marries the reader with the words he or she is speaking, adding greater integrity and credibility to the narrative.” this is the second year in a row the production is being staged, and the organizers have learned what works and what needed to be tweaked, such as moving to a venue with ample parking and one where street noise won’t

Plus, it keeps things a little homey, which we like,” eric added. the hominicks have enlisted helpers such as readers terresa tetar and helen Wells. in addition to hominick studios, the britannica repertory Company and redemption hill Church, the show has received support with donations of food, help from the musical talent and more. “this year we have a team of helpers that is taking a vast load off our minds and backs,” eric said. the show gets underway at 7 p.m. saturday at Willoughby elementary school, 20766 80th ave. the gym can accommodate up to 400 people and there is child care that evening. “admission is by donation, so it is extremely affordable,” eric said. the evening also includes seasonal music and carols (with the words printed in the program), and dickensian treats of mince pies and cider. “it is top-notch, great quality material, written by a master storyteller, and delivered by practised voices in a convincing manner,” eric commented. “Who can resist a good story? and this one is a humdinger.”

the objective of the full Cupboard holiday Program is right there in the name – but there is more to the local effort to bring food and gifts to the disadvantaged. langley-based envision financial has set up its Christmas trees for the fifth year in a row, and is gathering gifts for children and seniors, as well as food for local food banks. “food bank Canada’s hungerCount 2014 revealed that bC food bank usage is up 3.6 per cent and 30.8 per cent of food bank users are children,” said envision manager of community investment susan byrom. she said the program was dubbed the angel tree program when it first started. the trees in local branches would be hung with tags with the ages and genders of children, or indicating a gift for a senior. Customers could pick a tag and bring in a gift aimed at that person. the focus on seniors was one of the things that set the program apart. “We have seniors who are isolated, we have seniors who may not have family anymore,” byrom said. langley City, in particular, has a sizeable population of seniors, many of them living alone or in some form of care home. the program also helps offer meaning to people who may not have a senior in their life anymore, byrom said. two years ago, the angel tree morphed into the full Cupboard program. it still gathers gifts but also food for food banks in all the communities where the credit union operates. replacing the angel cards on the trees are cards with lists of things needed by food banks, and also of common gifts for children at different ages, including infants, along with gift ideas for seniors. other cards list things
gosh, it’s overwhelming every year. it’s heartwarming to see the number of gifts and food that come in. that are always needed by food banks, including cash contributions that can be put to good use on the charities’ expenses. the full Cupboard has already raised $176,000, and collected more than 17,000 pounds of food over its short lifetime. getting the food where it’s going and the gifts to those who need them is done by partnering with local organizations and charities. in langley, that means working with groups like the langley seniors resource Centre, the langley lodge, and the langley food bank. as technology changes, new ways of giving have appeared, including texting to donate. this will be the first year the fill the Cupboard program has a text to donate system. texting full to 41010 will donate $10 to a local food bank. if your phone number can be localized by a common first three numbers (like 530 or 856 in langley) the money will stay within langley. for numbers that can’t be localized, the money will be divided up or go to a food bank that needs more financial help, said byrom. one of the pleasures of the program is seeing staff and members taking part, said byrom. “gosh, it’s overwhelming every year,” she said. “it’s heartwarming to see the number of gifts and food that come in.” items can be dropped off at all envision locations, as well as at the langley advance offices at 6375 202 st. langley advance

Firefighters provide healthy snacks for student stomachs of langley firefighters’ Charities society,” noted foundation executive director susan Cairns. Jhim burwell, representative with the township of langley firefighters’ Charities society, commented that the society’s ability to support kids is a team effort. “save-on-foods and Valley traffic are huge partners,” he noted. “Without them it really wouldn’t have gotten rolling.” the snack portion of the food for thought campaign kicked off this month at Wix brown and Parkside
the township of langley firefighters’ Charities society is getting into snacking in a big way – but not for themselves. they are helping kids get nutritious snacks. Without adequate nutrition, kids may have a hard time staying focused in school. the firefighter society is supporting the food for thought Campaign of the langley school district foundation. “the langley school district foundation is so grateful for our partnership with the township
elementary schools. “it’s a pilot project with Wix brown and Parkside,” said burwell. “hopefully we will roll it out to all the langley schools in the next few years.” meanwhile, a clothing drive runs until dec. 12. Parents, teachers, administrators and students are asked to bring gently used clothing to their schools, the langley school board office in murrayville, or at the murrayville, aldergrove, Willoughby and Walnut grove firehalls. ronda Payne, Langley Advance

t
he corridors of this assisted living residence in surrey ring with the sound of lively conversation, as residents excitedly share stories with a group of young students visiting from nearby holy Cross.
len King clutches a walker as he talks about growing up during the great depression in the northwest suburbs of toronto. he pauses when i ask him whether his grade 8 companion brings back memories. “everybody does,” he says, laughing. the sprightly 93 year old moves deceptively fast for a man approaching his centennial years. “i need the walker now because my balance started to go on me. i’m taking exercises now. a chap comes in and we play catch with a plastic ball.” this day is the first of a pilot project at fraser health’s assisted living residence fleetwood Villa, which will pair isolated seniors — defined as seniors who may stay in their room most of the time or not have
many visitors — with students at holy Cross. the students will accompany the seniors on walks around the facility to help them build strength and confidence. annie schampier, 88, is surprised, then blushes and breaks into a big grin when she sees her visitor. “thanks for coming and visiting us, that was very, very nice,” she says to leslie Jean hibbert. the conversation soon turns to life advice and the importance of becoming more independent. “(i want to) let them know it’s not always mommy and daddy paying the school and all,” she says. “you have to work hard after this.” schampier was 14 when she and her family became war refugees after the nazis captured her home of belgrade, serbia. she left everything behind and never returned, so she knows something about starting life with nothing. hibbert says she enjoys listening to the wisdom of older people. “i think it’s a really valuable experience because you can learn so much from people from a different generation,” she says. “because they’ve been through it all

and they have a lot of knowledge.” by the time the current generation of seniors turn 85, almost 25 per cent will be described as ‘frail’ – thin, weak and slowmoving. frailty can lead to increased risk for poor health outcomes, falls, disability, hospitalization and death, says tasleem Juma, a spokeswoman for fraser health. “We know that the more active they are, the less chance they have of falling and injuring themselves,” says Juma. but there is no reason frailty has to be a natural part of getting older. “by partnering youth to help seniors with a simple exercise program of walking – even in their residential care ‘home’ – seniors can retain their vitality, strength, energy and sense of well-being,” says Juma. social interaction with others also has a role to play in helping the seniors avoid the very real hazards that increasing frailty can pose. the students, by motivating the seniors to sustain some sort of program until it becomes routine, will result in improved muscle strength and balance. that, Juma says, will lead to an improved sense of well-being and confidence to stay actively involved in the community, and ultimately out of the hospital.

surrey — you know you’re a “picker” when... you arrive at 7 a.m. for an 8 a.m. garage sale and skulk about on the sidewalk like some freaky stalker dude. you trade your car for a pickup truck and season tickets to the local flea market. you wear tats and/or cowboy hats and/or anything else that distinguishes you from the common horde, and then star in a tV series with the word “picker” in it. or you’re a seemingly normal 12-year-old girl living in rosemary heights. it is here, in this generally conservative south surrey neighbourhood, that young lyric Kennedy goes about her daily routine. a routine that, for the most part, wouldn’t raise an eyebrow. school, pre-teen dances, hanging out at the mall, a fascination with Katy Perry. and, because facebook is apparently now so passé, instagram. those kids and their instagram. but deep within lyric’s soul – an “old soul” says her mom – lurks something far more unusual, far more…obsessive. it is the desire to find, buy and obtain hidden treasures and (hopefully) re-sell those treasures for a profit. this is the essence of “picking,” and lyric’s got it bad. at her home this monday afternoon, lyric sits with best buddy and picking co-conspirator alyssa martin, combing through some of their recent finds. a musical jewelry box, a gargantuan old suitcase, an iron tray with a brick inside that, i’m told, was once used to warm cold feet. over there are some miniature liquor bottles, right next to a metal milk jug and a decorative mirror. lyric is the arguably the more hardcore of the two. When asked if she thinks she’ll always be a picker, she responds with an immediate “yes.” alyssa, conversely, isn’t so sure. the 11-year-old makes no bones about it – she thinks she may have to put it behind her one day when she’s schooling to be an interior designer. Pretty heady talk for a girl still in elementary school. together, they’ve left few stones unturned

in their quest for prime pickings. garage sales, flea markets, pawn shops, recycling bins and, yes, even the dreaded “g” word. and for good reason, explains the gregarious lyric. “one day my friends and i were hanging out and they were like ‘Why are you going in the garbage?’ but i found this one painting and i went back home and wondered, ‘Who is this person?’ i looked on the internet and we contacted him and said we have one of your paintings. he contacted us back and told me this is an original painting and it’s worth $1000.” granted, heavy-duty scores like that are rare. sometimes the search for buried treasure – which takes place every weekend for this dedicated duo – is futile. but even then, the day is usually salvaged. “When we go to garage sales, we look in the free bin – if they have a free bin – and see if they have metal scraps or stuff like that that we can stick on our jewelry or other pieces, then we take it.” this weekend, alyssa and lyric will bring their finds and their creations with them when they operate their very own booth at the Cloverdale agriplex’s Vintage and revamped furniture market. it’s a big step forward for these two young entrepreneurs in a game dominated by much older veterans. doesn’t hurt that they both have such supportive parents. though they don’t outright fund their kids’ hobby – preferring instead to let them fully experience both the ups and the downs of business – they do provide transportation and suggestions and a whole bunch of other perks. this weekend, for example, the agriplex booth promises to be fully decked out with mom-created signs and flags and assorted paraphernalia. and a donation tin for sources food bank, too. time will tell if the pair will one day rule the picking roost, but right now it’s very much a labour of love. lyric, who gravitated to it at the ridiculous age of four, and alyssa, brought up in a home where picking was in before it was fashionable, adore what they do and seemingly live for the concept of vintage. and in a throwaway world dominated by the mistaken need for the latest and the newest, that’s kinda nice, don’t you think?

rotarians help build library on island north delta — nine members of the north delta rotary Club helped set up a library in a remote first nations community on Vancouver island. the ditidaht library was completed recently after nine months of collecting books and work by an architect and professional engineer. the community of dididaht, located on nitinaht lake on the west coast of Vancouver island, is only
accessible by a 50-km logging road, or by boat. the area’s sawmill burned down 10 years ago and has since faced economic issues. the rotarians collected more than 4,000 books to stock the library and implemented a library computer system with barcodes and scanners. about 350 members from the community are benefiting from the library.

families for Justice demands tougher laws as drivers continue to get behind the wheel after drinking storY BY tom ZYtarUK
d
are to know how many times police in b.C. issued immediate roadside Prohibitions for impaired driving over the past four years? lamentably, the number is 75,474. moreover, the number of immediate roadside suspensions, administrative driving Prohibitions and 24-hour driving suspensions issued in the province between sept. 20, 2010 and sept. 30, 2014 was 119,498, according to statistics from the superintendent of motor Vehicles office.

“this figure is the number of suspensions given out to people who were found to be driving while being impaired and who made the decision to put the public’s safety at risk,” said markita Kaulius, founder of families for Justice. her organization counts 85 families among its membership. “every single one has had a child or loved one killed by a drunk driver,” she said of the group. Kaulius is beyond dismayed that despite the efforts of police, the insurance Corporation of british Columbia, mothers against drunk driving, families for Justice and other agencies to educate motorists, so many people still choose to ignore impaired driving laws. “these numbers are only the number that they have caught and removed off the roads,” she noted. “they believe for every one impaired driver caught, 75 more get away. this is a staggering figure to know that there are that many people out there driving who are willing to put others at risk. “We’re still losing four to six people per day in Canada.” of those who survive, the average number of people injured each day in Canada because of impaired driving is 190. “impaired driving still continues to be a problem and affects thousands of Canadians each year.”

impaired driving has a far greater impact on canadian society than any other crime. Kaulius lost her 22-year-old daughter, Kassandra Kaulius, to a drunk driver in surrey. “in 2011, the year my daughter lost her life, there were another 1,074 people killed by an impaired driver, and over 63,000 were injured.” natasha leigh Warren, 35, of north delta pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death, failing to remain at the scene of a crash and driving with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit causing death. “since Kassandra was killed, we’ve lost 3,000 more people,” Kaulius noted. Warren was drunk when she ran a red light at 152nd street and 64th avenue and slammed her company van into the driver’s side of Kassandra’s bmW at 103 kilometres an hour. Warren was sentenced in surrey provincial court to 37 months in prison and is also prohibited from driving for eight years. she is up for statutory release on Jan. 15, after serving 24 months of her sentence. how does Kaulius feel about that? “We will begin the fourth year of the lifetime sentence that we received of being without our daughter Kassandra,” she remarked. the sentencing was difficult to witness. markita Kaulius held up a shredded softball uniform that trauma doctors had to cut off of her daughter’s mangled body, for Warren to see. “that’s all i have left to hang onto,” the grief-stricken mother sobbed. “you left my daughter to die in the street.” Warren had drunk more than a bottle and a half of wine before getting behind the wheel and was driving around surrey for about 45 minutes before t-boning Kassandra’s car, annihilating her. Kassandra was only three blocks from her home and had been returning from playing softball at Cloverdale athletic Park. Warren got out of her van, walked up to the young woman as she lay dying, and then ran to hide in some bushes, where she was arrested. “i’m sure you can imagine what being struck at 103 kilometres/hour by 2,000 pounds of steel would do to a person,” Kaulius said. since her daughter’s death, Kaulius and her husband Victor have been lobbying the federal government to change Canada’s impaired driving laws. “unfortunately, our group grows every month, as we have many other families from across Canada who have joined us, as they too are suffering and are struggling with the loss of their loved one who has been killed by another impaired driver.” Kaulius noted that in 2010/2011, only four per cent of Canadian impaired driving cases that ended in convictions or guilty pleas resulted in a sentence of two years imprisonment or more and 86 per cent of all custodial sentences were for six months or less. as for the economic cost to taxpayers for that same period, she added, the grand total nationwide – taking into account policing,
How it works
t
Drunk driver natasha Leigh Warren, 35, (middle, sunglasses) was sentenced in Surrey provincial court to 37 months in prison for the 2011 death of Kassandra Kaulius. court proceedings, prison costs, medical and rehabilitative costs, as well as fire departments, ambulance services property damage, lost future earnings, work days lost and related insurance costs – amounted to $84.4 billion, and $6.4 billion of that to b.C. taxpayers. “these figures are a shocking testimony demonstrating the tragic effects and devastating consequences of drinking and driving,” Kaulius said. “the social cost of the crime, great as it is, fades in comparison to the personal loss suffered by the victims of this crime through death or injury. “it is devastating to their families and others who must live with the aftermath of indescribable pain. there is nothing in the world worse than losing a child or loved one, and knowing that the death was totally preventable.”
petition calls for new laws
to date, families for Justice has collected 83,000 signatures on a petition calling for the charge of impaired driving causing death to be changed to a new category of charge called vehicular manslaughter that would carry a minimum sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of life in prison. “that’s a lot of people we’ve talked to,” Kaulius said. “that’s not online signatures.” the petitioners also want motorists convicted of impaired driving to be prohibited from driving for one year, those convicted of causing injury while driving impaired to receive a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison, and for people who flee the scene of a crash – like Warren did – to receive an additional mandatory sentence of two years in prison. the petition was delivered on nov. 12 to langley Conservative mP mark Warawa and he is expected to present it in the house of Commons. Kaulius maintains that “from the point of view of numbers alone, impaired driving has a far greater impact on Canadian society than any other crime” and that “in terms
of the deaths and serious injuries resulting in hospitalization, drunk driving is clearly the crime which causes the most significant social loss to the country.” Jasbir sandhu, ndP mP for surrey north, noted that according to madd, a person in Canada could statistically drive drunk once a week, every week, for three years before he or she is likely to be caught. “that’s not acceptable. We need to improve on the laws that are there.” sandhu noted that Justice minister Peter macKay promised more than a year ago that new impaired driving laws would be introduced. “fourteen months later, the government still hasn’t come forward with anything concrete,” sandhu said. “they say they’re tough on crime, then they cut the budget for the rCmP.” Jinny sims, ndP mP for newton-north delta, echoed that. “last year, the justice minister promised new laws to crack down on drinking and driving offences, noting that it is among criminal offences causing the highest numbers of deaths in Canada each year,” said sims. “it’s been 14 months and i haven’t seen any action on that. “as we’ve experienced locally in a very meaningful and tragic way, this government is not delivering on the number of rCmP needed to crack down on impaired drivers and to keep streets safer overall,” sims added. “instead we’re seeing quite the opposite – budget cuts to the rCmP.” sims noted that new laws “won’t do much good” if we don’t have more police to enforce them. she said the ndP favours a “twopronged” approach focusing on education as well as sufficient policing levels “to actually enforce the laws.” nina grewal, Conservative mP for fleetwood-Port Kells, agreed that more work needs to be done. “While great strides have been made to increase public awareness and reduce
he province’s immediate roadside Prohibition (irP) program was introduced in september 2010 and features escalating sanctions. drivers whose breath sample is not less than .05 blood alcohol content are served with a “warn” irP. the first warning served within five years comes with a three-day prohibition from driving, the second one involves a seven-day prohibition and the third and subsequent warnings within five years result in a 30-day driving prohibition. meanwhile, breath samples not less than .08 blood alcohol content are considered fails and result in a 90-day irP. same goes for drivers who refuse to blow. an administrative driving Prohibition (adP) is for 90 days. instead of using an irP, a police officer may choose instead to bring the driver to the police station for testing using a datamaster or intoxilyzer. if the driver’s blood alcohol content is more that .08, he or she may be served with an adP and also be charged under the Criminal Code. a driver served with an adP has 21 days before their prohibition begins. a 24-hour Prohibition may be served if a police officer has reasonable and probable grounds to believe a driver is affected by alcohol or drugs or if the driver’s breath sample is higher than .05. source: ministry of Justice, roadsafetybC
impaired driving, the problem remains,” she noted. “People continue to drink and drive.” grewal said she has presented petitions in the house of Commons that hundreds of local residents have signed, demanding tougher sentences. she added that the tackling Violent Crime act, passed by the federal government in 2008, brought in stiffer mandatory minimum sentences and made it easier to prosecute impaired drivers. “i understand that the federal government has been involved in talks with its provincial and territorial counterparts about further increasing penalties for impaired offences,” grewal said, adding that a “working group” has been established to make recommendations on how to proceed. “as you know, our community has witnessed too many needless, tragic deaths because of drunk drivers,” grewal said. “Kassandra Kaulius immediately comes to mind. i met with her parents - as a mother it just makes me cry to think of someone so young lost just as she was entering the prime of her life.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

a buzz isn’t worth the risk on roads
C
onsidering how we are bombarded by public service messages about the evils of drinking and driving, especially as Christmas approaches, it’s difficult to comprehend how police in this province still managed to issue 119,498 driving prohibitions related to drunk driving over the past four years. What’s even more shocking, considering this staggering number, is the number of Canadians still getting away with impaired driving. according to madd, statistics reveal that a person could drive drunk once a week, every week, for three years before he or she is likely to get caught. (see special report on pages 8 and 9). Can society possibly be so callous, so indifferent to the loss suffered by the families and friends of people killed by drunk drivers? in Canada, drunk drivers kill four to six people each day and injure 190. Considering the monumental suffering drunk driving produces, it is truly mind-bending to fathom how so many motorists are still prepared to take the ultimate risk behind the wheel, endangering not only themselves but others as well. and for what? a buzz? enjoy yourself during the holidays, but don’t be an idiot. so many options are available to you instead of drinking and driving. operation red nose is a great option, serving langley and surrey (604-532-0888) and deltarichmond (604-943-0460). Call them and they’ll send two volunteers. one will drive you home in your car, followed by another volunteer who will then pick that driver up. donations are accepted, but not required. the consequences of getting behind the wheel while you’re liquored can be infinitely more expensive. the now

Hepner must face the following truths the editor, an open letter to linda hepner. before you settle too far into the comfort of the mayor’s chair in our egregiously opulent city hall, there a few truths perhaps you need pointed out to you. first off, your right hand raised in victory belied the fact that ballots cast for you numbered 50,782,while the total of ballots cast for all other candidates was 53,832, which means there were more voters who did not want you as our mayor. Coincidently, the Now printed two letters to the editor submitted by obviously disgruntled surrey residents, dated nov. 20, just five days after the election.
they were both complaining about the lack of follow-ups in their complaints to city hall, and i quote some and add others: z illegal suites z increased crime z illegal construction z overdevelopment z loss of trees the salient complaint is no bylaw enforcement, which is designed to correct most of the above, including going after delinquent owners and/or managers of tourist trailer parks that are allowed to become derelict at the expense of the occupants. the mandate of bylaw officers seems to allow them to project exculpatory tendencies, and until units such as

debate affordable housing
impact of home ownership struggle reaches deep UncommonSense adrian Macnair
i
’m a renter. always have been and, sadly, probably always will be. like many post-gen Xers, i took a long time finding my career path and lost a good 10 to 15 years of time i could have spent gathering savings and building equity. now at 40 with two children, i’ve accepted the fact i’ll never own a slice of Canada. all of my savings go into a registered education savings plan so that the next generation will get the head start i never did. not that i’m alone in this struggle. a vast number of 40-and-under metro Vancouver residents have been disenfranchised from home ownership by a combination of housing scarcity and foreign land speculation – a recent PriceWaterhouse Cooper and urban land institute report revealed Vancouver is a “hedge city” dependent on foreign investors to keep the real estate market afloat. god forbid protectionist legislation keep single-family houses below the $1 million mark.
the good news for renters is that we’re not immediately liable for short-term disasters like replacing a roof or a hot water tank. the landlord pays for that. the bad news is that over a 20-year renting span, it’s hard not to feel sick to your stomach that you’ve handed over $300,000 to pay off somebody else’s mortgage. so, in essence, you kind of did pay for that roof and hot water tank. the idea that Canada’s working underclass is subsidizing the middle class is one i’ve never really come to terms with. it’s not exactly dickensian levels of exploitation but to walk away empty-handed – not to mention in debt from impossibly large student loans – after 20 years of working is more depressing than the weather in late november. according to a new province-wide survey by b.C.’s non-Profit housing association of 517,000 rental units, nearly a quarter of people are spending more than half their gross income on rent and utilities. the bCnPha used the data to create an affordability index which found, unsurprisingly, that the lower mainland is in a “critical” situation. the housing affordability crunch is one of the most-discussed problems in our region,
and yet few seem to properly associate it with our equally disturbing social problems. the topic of crime was top-of-mind during the recent surrey civic election and yet more police officers was the only suggestion most candidates offered as a solution. b.C. has the highest poverty rate (12 per cent) and the highest child poverty rate (18 per cent) in Canada according to data mined from statistics Canada in 2011. although the vast majority of the working poor are law-abiding, criminal activity and poverty are closely linked. if the cost of social/subsidized housing is considered too expensive for the provincial government, these figures may be sobering: according to a 2011 report entitled the Cost of Poverty in b.C. authored by the Canadian Centre for Policy alternatives the cost of crime to the b.C. taxpayer is $3.3 billion, of which $131 million is attributable to poverty. but while there are certainly regional differences in housing and income, one commonality seems to span the entire country, if not the developed world. in a report released by the Conference board of Canada in september, the income gap between older and younger workers have expanded massively since the 1980s, leaving today’s 20-something workforce the first

generation of Canadians to be worse off than their parents. the income gap has risen so dramatically that, according to the report, the average disposable income of today’s 50-to-54-yearolds is now 64 per cent higher than 25-to29-year-olds. today the boomers are using their wealth and equity to help some of their children gain entry into the housing market by offering to make the downpayment or loan them the equivalent. the bank of mom and dad is currently the best subsidized housing solution on the market. We can do better than that – we must do better than that. the rhetoric that the children are the future must be about more than a political catchphrase. by putting each new generation of young people in greater debt from student loans, entering into professions with diminishing returns for their educational investment, all the while offering them no opportunity to buy into asset ownership and equity growth, we’re disenfranchising our own children from prosperity. i’m willing to give up on my own dreams of owning a piece of the country but i do want more for my children. don’t you?

a ‘high priority’ open letter to canada Post ViewPoint christopher Poon
Dear canada Post, hey, it’s me, Christopher. long-time user, first-time letter writer. not really sure where to begin with this so i’ll just say it: your service kind of sucks. i know, i know, it sounds a bit harsh but hear me out. i’ve been a customer of yours for the past 20 or so years with the same community mailbox with nary an issue. that is, until this past week. on friday, i came home to find that our community mailbox had been broken into and cleaned out. most of the doors were open and everyone’s boxes exposed and most had been emptied. doing what most people would do, i called up you up and reported it right away. the guy on the other end of the phone sounded surprised and noted he would deem it a “high priority” for whoever is supposed to deal with these kinds of things. Call me crazy, but i always thought “high
mailboxes in the neighbourhood, priority” would translate to probably because it had yet to be “relatively soon.” instead, it took broken into. looking at the rest of nearly four days for the locks the subdivision, i have to wonder to be changed and even longer if you were simply waiting for an (as in still waiting) to hear what incident like this to occur before happened to the mail that was deeming it necessary to install the supposed to be delivered in the newer styled box? meantime or when our service if so, that’s kind of crappy. even would actually be back to normal. worse, i guess, would be to just i don’t know if you’re aware, keep the old style boxes knowing but mail is pretty important to people. you see, anytime you have that they’ve been broken into once a service that carries sensitive before. personal information you might you’re also going to be rolling want to do things that give people in reality, how “high priority” is this for canada Post after all? out community mailboxes to more confidence in your services. of Canada in the coming months (supposedly) pretty strapped for cash of late and i wonder what you’ll be telling people you’re entrusted with guarding people’s but i’d hope at the very least the security private information and, in an age when who are worried about this exact situation of people’s personal information was email and third-party courier services are happening to them? important enough to do something about. increasingly popular, it’s up to you to show anyhow, it’s going on day five of having you could argue that i should have us why we should still use you. no idea what’s going on or what’s happening seen this coming, as most of the don’t get me wrong, your customer to our mail. i suppose we should be grateful other community mailboxes in my services reps are nice enough people on the you’ve deemed this to be a “high priority” neighbourhood have already been hit by phone but don’t really seem aware of what issue, but forgive me if have no idea what thefts. in those instances, the mailboxes were that’s supposed to mean. they can do, other than to promise that completely replaced and the old brown ones issues like the aforementioned are deemed Sincerely, christopher Poon. were curbed in favour of a fancier-looking “high priority.” (and hopefully more secure) grey one. granted, i may be a bit upset but, well, Christopher Poon is a reporter i guess ours was the last of the old type of i guess i expected better. i get that you’re and photographer with the Now.

surrey city council
Public safety’s ‘high on my list’ incoming councillor dave Woods plans to enhance public safety from the ground up amy reid
now staff twitter @amyreid87
W
ith 43 years of experience under his belt in law enforcement, it’s safe to say dave Woods knows a thing or two about policing. “Crime is a hot issue and if i can help surrey first work on that, i want to do it,” said the incoming councillor, one of three new surrey first faces elected to council in the election. “Public safety is high on my list.” Woods served directly with some of surrey rCmP’s top cops, such as fraser macrae, worked in administration and budgeting for the detachment, and spent eight years as district commander for Port Kells/Cloverdale. Woods’ background includes more than just law enforcement. he is vice-chair of options Community services, a charitable organization that provides social services, including transition houses and programs for children who’ve witnessed abuse. through that position he said he’s seen how such issues contribute to crime. “if everyone thinks law enforcement is the answer to reducing crime, we’re going to have a problem,” he said. “there are so many social issues like drug addiction, etc., and i really hope to focus in on that area.” Woods said he’s passionate about the city’s Crime reduction strategy, which considers social issues, as well as calls for a community court. When offenders enter prison, he said,
they’re being put into a “huge social network where all they’re going to do is network. “there’s no treatment program – nothing. When people get out, they’re right back at it, right back at the crime.” While Woods said the surrey rCmP target prolific offenders, he wants to see a strategy that delves deeper. “We put people in jail over and over and over again. but after three or four years… we realized we were putting the same people in jail again and again. What are we solving here? nothing, other than removing them for a while.” he said he’d like to see offenders receive treatment and follow-up, to hopefully stop the revolving door of the justice system. “i’m hoping the attorney general will see wisdom in what surrey wants to do. they want to get this community court going and get this justice precinct set up in the old city hall.” While he’s seen money thrown at policing, and noted crime has come down, he wants to see “more traction” on the city’s Crime reduction strategy. the councillor-elect said his other priorities include putting the order in for new officers and urging the city manager to move on hiring a general manager of public safety. Woods said he’d like to see surrey move more toward neighbourhood policing. While the Community safety officer program has been discontinued by the provincial branch of the rCmP, he said he wants to see that model mimicked through regular members. “i want to work with the police chief and i’ve got some ideas, but he’s the chief of police,” he said. “the public want to know who is policing in their area. they just want to know someone’s name and want to be able to
Dave Woods is one of Surrey’s new city councillors. (Photo: KeVin HiLL) contact them,” he said, noting “building relationships with people is huge.” during his time in Cloverdale, Woods established a police community consultation group and said he’d like to see that on a city-wide scale. “my concern is that it may be too unwielding, but i really want to discuss that, so we’ve got good communication
between police and community groups,” he said of his idea. “there may be differences of opinion but the bottom line is i don’t want to have these big meetings happen and have a huge unloading by the public and the police are not totally aware of what the public’s concerns are. i want ongoing dialogue.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

Driver who killed senior at bus stop released after four months tom Zytaruk
now staff twitter @tomzytaruk
surrey — a surrey driver who killed an elderly man when he smashed his brother’s Corvette into a surrey bus shelter in 2009 has been released on full parole after serving only four months in prison. gurjit dhillon, 28, was found guilty of dangerous driving causing the death of 83-
year-old surrey grandfather Pritam singh benning at the corner of 72nd avenue and 128th street on sept. 9, 2009. Kyle benning, the victim’s grandson, said Canada’s justice system is not sticking up for the families of victims. “We’re taking it pretty tough to know he only served four months for taking a life,” he said of dhillon. “it’s tough to take.” benning’s legs were crushed, and he later
died in hospital. the crash happened at rush hour, in heavy traffic when a lot of pedestrians were around. benning had been sitting at the bus shelter. dhillon was sentenced to one year in jail following a trial in surrey provincial court last year. the b.C. Court of appeal upheld the conviction. before Judge Jim Jardine sentenced him, dhillon had apologized to the victim’s
family. Jardine said he found dhillon’s remorse to be “readily apparent.” Kyle benning, however, doesn’t agree. “it’s hard to take his word for what it is,” benning said of dhillon. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

trustee calls on province to properly fund education adrian Macnair
now staff twitter @adrianmacnair
delta — a report on public education by a parliamentary committee meant for input into the 2015 provincial budget proves the system is chronically underfunded, according one of delta’s newest trustees. recently elected trustee bruce reid said the report on the budget 2015 Consultations released in mid-november by the select standing Committee on finance and government services draws attention for the need for stable, predictable and adequate funding going forward. “their findings are basically that education is underfunded and finance has to be put into education,” said reid in a phone interview. “(they had) concerns with things like the downloading of costs with regards to green fees and the increase in any type of negotiated settlement being
put on the (school) boards. the boards just can’t function properly.” reid is hopeful that the province will pay heed to the report, given that the conclusions are drawn from a bipartisan committee of legislative members. the committee was composed of liberal mlas dan ashton, eric foster, simon gibson, scott hamilton (delta-north), mike morris and John yap, along with ndP mlas Carole James, george heyman, gary holman and Jane Jae Kyung shin. the committee’s conclusion, drafted after six weeks of gathering information from 1,800 people around the province, shows that a well-funded public education system is a top priority for british Columbians. according to the report “the evidence presented to the committee… indicates that increasing operating, maintenance and capital costs are exceeding current funding allotments.”
2 FOR 1
it’s an important admission notes reid, who said there should be a “needs budget” to go alongside the legal budget required by the provincial government to balance expenditures with the funding received. during the recent five-week teacher’s strike members and supporters of the bC teachers’ bruce reid federation called on the province to support funding for class size, composition and staffing ratios. now that school is back in session, hamilton said the government will address some of those concerns. “it’s back to business but it’s not back to business as usual,” said hamilton over the phone from Victoria, who joined the committee for a second year in a row. “We have, as a government, committed to putting – at this stage now – our differences aside when it comes to all of the issues that were brought up during the strike.” he said the government will spend the next six years of labour peace to talk about the needs of children and student outcomes. “We’ve had discussions with the bCtf, at certain levels, and i know the education minister has committed to continuing the channels of discussion,” said hamilton, adding a calm and rational approach is needed. in addition to adequate funding, the report also recommends more supports for personalized learning, enhanced trades and technology training and more resources to identify and assist students with special needs.

VanCouVer — Canada’s attorney general is suing the driver of a semi-trailer involved in a head-on collision that killed an on-duty surrey rCmP police officer two years ago. Const. adrian oliver, 28, was killed when his rCmP police cruiser was hit by a transport truck being driven by surrey resident harjit singh lotay, who is named in the civil suit filed in b.C. supreme Court on nov. 10. lotay, 57, was working for abbotsford company heaven transport ltd. at the time, which adrian oliver is named as vicariously liable in the suit. Just before 5 a.m. on nov. 13, 2012, oliver was driving a 2010 ford Crown Victoria rCmP cruiser westbound on 64th avenue in surrey approaching the intersection at 148th street, while lotay was operating a 2006 freightliner semi-trailer driving in the opposite direction. at some point within or near the intersection, the civil claim alleges, lotay “negligently” drove the defendant’s vehicle to its left in an effort to travel northbound on 148th street, and in doing so crossed directly into the path of oliver. the federal government is seeking general damages, costs, interest, and further relief as the court deems just. the suit also seeks special damages for the loss of the police car, which was unrepairable, as well as expenses related to refitting a replacement vehicle for policing purposes. oliver was the fifth surrey mountie to die while on duty since the federal agency began policing in this city in 1951. he had been with the surrey rCmP for three and a half years, as a general duty officer with C Watch. he was survived by his mother, father and two brothers, including his twin ben oliver, who is also an rCmP police officer. amacnair@thenownewspaper.com

transLink to adopt all recommendations from review
metro VanCouVer — translink has announced it will adopt all 20 recommendations made by an independent transportation expert after two failures in skytrain service left thousands of commuters stranded on the elevated platforms this past summer. the changes will include the installation of emergency power “redundancies” and are expected to cost the regional transportation company $71 million.
however, $30 million of that will be spent on improving communication with riders when the system is experiencing any problems and suggest alternate routes. the report, prepared by toronto’s go transit former president gary mcneil, was prepared in order to reduce the frequency and duration of service disruptions, ensure timely evacuation of passengers in the event of a prolonged disruption, strengthen the system to prevent breakdowns, and
communicate with riders on trains, in terminals and on buses. translink Ceo ian Jarvis said in a release the “unprecedented” service disruptions – which took place on July 17 and July 21 – were “unacceptable to customers, and unacceptable to us.” mcneil’s report states the incidents showed “vulnerability” in the system and highlighted customer service issues. aside from working to prevent system
failure, there will be a plan implemented to get staff to every stranded train within 20 minutes of a disruption. the cost estimates in the report are preliminary and translink will now develop detailed plans and budgets for implementation. the entire scope of work is expected to take up to five years to complete, although translink expects many of the recommendations will be adopted much sooner than that. the now

no charges for cop after dog sinks teeth into suspect tom Zytaruk
now staff twitter @tomzytaruk
surrey — assault charges will not be laid against a police officer who was accused of allowing a service dog to gnaw on a surrey crime suspect for several minutes during an early morning arrest last year. according to the Criminal Justice branch, a new Westminster Police officer arrested the man in surrey on dec. 28, 2013 after the surrey rCmP received a complaint the suspect had stolen property – including a vehicle – from a relative, and that he also had a knife, was believed to be on drugs and possibly experiencing “mental health issues.” a police officer tried to stop the car but it sped off, hit some parked cars and then crashed into a tree. two knives were found in the driver’s seat and backup was called. an officer and his police dog found the suspect hiding in some bushes. neil macKenzie, a spokesman for the CJb, said the officer repeatedly asked the suspect, whose name has not been revealed, to show his hands but he didn’t comply. the officer
released the dog, thinking the suspect might be armed. the suspect was handcuffed after the dog grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the bushes. the dog’s leash broke as the suspect was being led to the patrol car and the dog bit him a second time. another police officer, as well as a passerby, said the officer pulled the dog off the suspect immediately and a paramedic then stitched up his arm for the first bite. the second bite left puncture wounds that didn’t require stitching. the suspect claimed the dog handler let the dog gnaw on him for three or four minutes, and encouraged it. he claimed there were 10 or more cops there, if not more, and that the police tried to let him bleed out and pass out. the suspect also told investigators he’d been coming down from a drug-induced psychosis. the independent investigations office based in Whalley investigated and submitted a report to the Crown, which in the end decided it could not prove the officer’s use of force was unjustified or excessive. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

surrey/delta — an oversupply in thermal coal in the Pacific northwest makes expansion plans for b.C. coal ports unnecessary, according to a report from a u.s. energy think tank. “the global market, in short, is in a state of oversupply,” wrote tom sanzillo, director of finance for the institute for energy economics and financial analysis and author of the report. the current market price for thermal coal (energy-making coal) has fallen in value by 50 per cent to roughly $60 a tonne from a peak of $132 a tonne in mid-2011. sanzillo said this creates “severe headwinds” for coal port proposals in Washington state and b.C. in 2012, the peak year for u.s. coal exports, ports in b.C. handled coal primarily from Canadian mines in addition to some from u.s. exporters. since then, b.C. ports have pressed forward with ambitious port expansion plans, including a $255million, multi-year expansion effort by federally owned ridley terminals in Prince rupert to export 25 million tonnes of thermal coal a year by the end of 2015. but on sunday, the terminal
operator announced plans to put that expansion on hold for up to five years due to an export target of just 18 million tonnes by the end of this year. in northeastern b.C., coal mining firms have either closed or suspended operations over the past 20 months due to depressed commodity prices. “the ridley terminal has seen a 37 per cent year-over-year decrease in throughput through september 2014, with losses accelerating over the past several months, as some of the port’s chief customers have shuttered their mines due to collapsing international coal prices,” said sanzillo, adding similar plans in surrey could be postponed. fraser surrey docks received approval from Port metro Vancouver in august to build a $15-million coal transfer facility that would export four million tonnes of u.s. thermal coal to asia annually. sanzillo noted that in addition to market uncertainty about the ability of u.s. coal producers to supply throughput, the terminal has encountered stiff opposition from residents over health and environmental concerns. denis horgan, vice president and general manager of Westshore terminals in delta, said the global economy is in a state of a “commodities super cycle,” where a demand from emerging energy markets a few years ago has created an oversupply problem. “all commodities are down right now but there’s been cycles before and there will be cycles again,” he said.
Westshore terminals on roberts bank shipped a record 31.2 million tonnes of coal last year and is on pace to ship 32 million tonnes this year. roughly 60 per cent of their export is metallurgical (steelmaking) coal, while thermal coal makes up the balance. horgan noted the global oversupply is being affected by low-cost exporters in australia. there are currently three terminal operators in newcastle exporting up to 200 million tonnes of thermal coal annually, with a fourth terminal being contemplated that could increase capacity by another 120 million tonnes. but horgan said despite the low prices, demand for thermal coal in asian markets continues. “there’s three and a half billion people in the world with little or no electricity and their best shot in the near term is coal-fired generation. in the longer term, of course, there’ll probably be a more of a move away from coal to renewables or to nuclear.” horgan said that shift probably won’t happen for 30 or 40 years. “i think coal has been pronounced dead a number of times before and it has defied expectations, in fact it’s been expanding dramatically the last few years.” horgan said Peabody energy, the world’s largest private coal shipper, is still shipping record volumes through Pacific terminal at Cherry Point in Washington state. fraser surrey docks did not respond to requests for comment.

two charged after rcMP-involved shooting in newton amy reid
now staff twitter @amyreid87
neWton — two of the three people arrested following a police-involved shooting in newton on friday have been charged. daniel monaghan, a 26-year-old langley resident, has been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of assaulting a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, willfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer, possessing a break-in instrument and using id unlawfully. david traill, a 52-year-old surrey resident, has been charged with being a passenger in a stolen vehicle, resisting arrest and breach of a conditional sentence order. the third suspect, a 21-year-old woman, has been released pending charges that have yet to be laid. the incident occurred shortly after noon on nov. 21 when plainclothes officers attempted to stop a vehicle in the 7100-block of hall road, behind newton bingo hall. the vehicle rammed into two police cruisers while trying to take off. Police say officers fired on the vehicle involved in the crash, but no one was struck. the three people in the vehicle — two men and one woman — were arrested shortly after. two officers and one of the suspects were taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. both officers have been released from hospital and are recovering from minor injuries.
langley rCmP’s serious Crime unit has taken conduct of the investigation. newton resident tabitha naismitch is wondering what the city and police are going to do about the area in the long term. “it’s not a surprise, we’ve had issues with prostitution and drug use in the area,” she said, noting there was a temporary increase in police presence after hockey mom Julie Paskall was murdered in december 2013. naismitch, who lives in the area behind where the incident took place said she heard three loud bangs, and
when she found out they were gunshots, she became upset. “this area is heavily populated by children, why are they (police) shooting their guns? is that their first response?” she wondered. “i live in bC housing and one of the requirements is that you have to have children.” Police ask anyone with information on the incident to contact rCmP at 604-599-0502 or Crime stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-tiPs or online at solvecrime.ca.

ViCtoria — a series of emails between former members of Kwantlen Polytechnic university’s board of governors and one of the school’s past presidents challenges the conclusions of a government report that ruled the board was unaware of specific details of an employee contract that deliberately broke executive compensation guidelines. the emails, which were tabled by the opposition in the house monday, show amrik Virk, a former vice-chair of the board and amrik Virk the current minister of advanced education, and other past board members were involved in a detailed back-and-forth discussion with the school’s then president relating to an employment contract for anne lavack, the school’s former vice-president. the lavack contract was one of two highlighted in a scathing 24-page government report released last summer that concluded the university twice violated disclosure requirements by failing to properly report the $50,000 “pre-employment contracts” it awarded to senior executives: one to lavack in 2011, the other to the university’s current president alan davis in 2012. but while the report, which was authored by assistant deputy minister rob mingay, found evidence that the board was aware of the davis pre-employment contract, it concluded the board had no knowledge of the $50,000 pre-employment contract that was eventually awarded to lavack, which pushed her $170, 000 salary past the provincial cap. monday, the opposition zeroed in on the previously undisclosed emails during question period, and asked Virk whether or not he disclosed the email chain to mingay during his investigation. those included in the email thread were former KPu president david atkinson, board chair gord schoberg and Virk, who was an rCmP officer at the time. the emails, which were sent between april 10 and 12 of 2011, include mention of a $100,000 for “removal expenses,” the remainder of which would be paid out “as a lump-sum payment (signing bonus), a $20,000 research allowance and a “$100-$150K” housing loan. the $100,000 appears to have later been broken down as a “$50K consulting fee” and a “50K moving fee” in the contract signed by lavack on april 18, 2011, a copy of which was also tabled by the ndP on monday. during a scrum with reporters in Victoria, Virk also admitted that he could have done a “better job” during his role as vice-chair of the board, and also acknowledged that the employment contracts at the university were not being reported properly. he said the board dealt with matters at the university to the best of their ability and knowledge.

Panto show
‘Santa claus has gone green’ Kristi alexandra
now contributor twitter @kristialexandra
surrey — if you saw santa exchanging his stipend of milk and cookies for a kale shake and a handful of almonds, dropping weight until he’s a svelte 110 pounds, it might be cause for alarm. at least that’s what mrs. Claus thinks in the fraser Valley gilbert and sullivan society production of Santa Claus: The Panto. it’s in the tradition of the pantomime, or panto – a musical, family-friendly comedy characterized by groan-worthy jokes, crossdressing actors and very loosely-based on a well-known fairytale. fVgss is taking the story of santa and giving it a yuppie, modern twist. the play, which opened on Wednesday (nov. 26) at surrey arts Centre, stars luke george branson as santa and Croy Jenkins as mrs. Claus. “santa Claus has gone green,” explained lyn Verra-lay, one of the show’s producers. “so, he’s using his iPhone and he’s doing yoga and meditating. the man who’s playing him is about 5’10 and about 110 pounds, so he’s not your traditional santa. mrs. Claus is very distraught about this.”
a35
the panto explores santa’s new low-fat diet, penchant for technology and getting approached by clever coal salesmen who persuade not-so-jolly st. nick that most kids are more naughty than nice. “there’s a Christy Clark joke in there – it has to do with the naughty and nice list, and we’ll let you guess what Christy Clark is,” Verra-lay joked. Political jokes aside, the producer said the plot relies on the magic of santa and the hilarity of our modern lives. “basically throughout, it’s this whole thing about mrs. Claus trying to get him back to traditional santa, and santa saying, ‘no, we can still be green and healthy and still have Christmas,’” she said. the society put on its first panto in 1986 as a fundraiser for the group’s spring production, but the audience loved it so much that they couldn’t stop there. Santa Claus: The Panto runs until dec. 7 at surrey arts Centre. the show is on nightly at 7:30 p.m., with 2:30 p.m. matinees on nov. 30 and dec. 6 and 7. tickets are $27.85 via tickets.surrey.ca and 604-501-5566. fVgss is accepting donations for surrey Christmas bureau on show dates. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

his is it. the lights are up, snow is falling (somewhere) and people are packing the malls to get shopping done. it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. not in the spirit of the season yet? no worries. there are some delightful shows at local theatres that will help you put a shine on the season. the Vagabond Players have the hilarious production, Christmas Belles, opening on dec. 3. go see this show; your face will laugh from hurting so much. oh no, that should be hurt from laughing so much. in the small town of fayro, texas, the citizens juggle a little larceny, a lovestruck sheriff and “elvis” in an attempt to keep the tabernacle of the lamb’s Christmas program from spiralling into chaos. directed by dale Kelly, Christmas Belles stars alexandra Wilson, Colleen bignell and Colleen byberg as the futrelle sisters, with John Cousins playing dub dubberly, husband of frankie and anxious fatherto-be of the twins. ray boulay is John Curtis buntner, the feisty sheriff who loves the ladies just as much as his coffee and doughnuts, and alex ross plays Justin Waverly, the beleaguered pastor of the tabernacle of the lamb. Kathleen driscoll takes the role of Patsy Price, know-it-all high-society matron, while Cathe busswood

brought it back this year. it’s not exactly as seasonal as White Christmas, but definitely a family-friendly production. i mean, don’t we all need a spoon full of sugar and wish that everything could be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? book your tickets now. Closer to home, Vancouver Welsh men’s Choir’s “sounds of Christmas” concert on dec. 9 at surrey arts Centre is sold out. Just sayin’. the choir is not exclusive to Welsh men, but it is entirely made up of men. men’s choruses are amazing – i love to hear men sing en masse. Pacific showtime men’s Chorus, a smaller and equally friendly group, needs more male singers. this community-based male chorus, under the direction of accomplished musician, arranger and conductor Jonathan Wiltse, is wishing to expand its membership. it invites men of all ages who enjoy singing to come
out to one of its rehearsals and “check us out.” founded in 2006, Pacific harmony provides a supportive environment for its members, with emphasis placed on the enjoyment of singing, mostly in four-part harmony, and sharing that joy with others. the repertoire is designed to include songs with arrangements that appeal to a wide variety of music preferences, with emphasis on the entertainment value. Pacific showtime has performed at various venues around the metro Vancouver, including show productions, community events, concerts, retirement residences and private functions. the group provides an opportunity to develop singing techniques while having fun and enjoying the camaraderie. rehearsals are held in the education centre at st. mark’s ocean Park Church, 12953 20th ave., south surrey, every monday at 7:30 p.m. for details, call 604536-5292, email leighand@shaw.ca or visit Pacificshowtime.com. let’s all go a’caroling.

Filming the Fire Kid Filmmaker fundraising in hopes of profiling renowned boxer tony Pep, who trains young fighters in Whalley storY BY KYle BenninG
t
ony “Kid fire” pep is considered one of the best boxers to come out of western canada and now, one of his boxing students is looking to make a short docufiction film of pep’s journey as a pro. mehdi nowroozi – who is producing, co-writing and directing the proposed film – launched a Kickstarter campaign a few weeks ago in hopes of getting the public to fund the project. the producer-director decided to make it a 30-minute film that would be part documentary, part drama using flashbacks to talk about the boxer’s tough upbringing and journey through his career. nowroozi made a teaser for the public to gain support for the project. so far, the campaign has raised more than $2,600, but the goal is $34,000, and if he doesn’t raise it all, he will get none of the donations. nowroozi has set a deadline of Dec. 14. pep’s proudest moment is fighting a full 10-round bout against one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all time, floyd “money” mayweather Jr. pep lost the fight by unanimous decision, but it was only the second time a boxer took “pretty Boy” floyd the distance. “it’s good to hear (i fought him for 10 rounds), but you want to hear, ‘i beat him,’” he admitted. pep, who went 43-10-1 as a pro, now trains young boxers out of several local gyms, including at team Bad Boy outreach in whalley – a boxing and martial arts gym for at-risk youth. mayweather, who’s undefeated, currently holds the wBc world welterweight and super welterweight titles as well as the wBa world welterweight and world super welterweight titles. pep has held such titles as iBo world lightweight champion, wBf world super featherweight champion, commonwealth super featherweight champion and canadian lightweight and featherweight champion. pep grew up fatherless and lost his mother to drug overdose when he was 13 years old. see pep tUrneD to › page 57

Pep ran away from every foster home the ministry put him in, but he was found at school. the ministry made him a ward of the court, and gave him his own apartment and food vouchers as long as he continued to go to school. “When i was done school, i missed it. i used to dream about high school,” said Pep. “my friends were my family back then.” after boxing at hastings gym for six years, he turned pro at 17. Pep said he “probably shouldn’t have” done this – he said the people who were around him at the time didn’t have his best interests at heart. he fought three times as a minor and was never paid for them because people

CloVerdale – the b.C. lions might not be playing in the grey Cup game sunday (nov. 30) at bC Place stadium, but there will be a decision for local fans on which surrey player to cheer for. adam berger of the Calgary stampeders and Kyle miller of the hamilton tiger-Cats will be going head-to-head in the 102nd edition of the Canadian football league final. the pair, who are best friends, played football together in the community and at the high school level for lord tweedsmuir secondary. “it’s kind of like the perfect storm,” said berger, a Calgary defensive back.“this opportunity probably won’t ever happen again in our playing careers. the fact that we’re both in the grey Cup and it’s in our hometown and everything. it’s going to be really cool.” after high school, they also spent several years playing together on defence for simon fraser university. miller started his post-secondary career at Western Washington university after
attending an open tryout. but in January of his first year, the program folded and he was left without a team. lord tweedsmuir head coach Kurt thornton said one of the key reasons miller chose to go to sfu was because berger was there. he noted the pair lived together in their final two years of high school after miller’s parents moved, making his commute to Cloverdale near impossible. “i’m extremely proud of the two of them,” thornton added.“both had some adversity that they had to come through, particularly in university, to get where they’re at.” the coach said berger was one of the most recruited football players in Canada in his senior year, with nearly every university in the country looking at the Panthers quarterback. he made the decision to go to sfu and stay close to home, but suffered a knee injury that forced him to sit out his first year. the following season, the Clan tried him at different positions because of his athleticism, and found a fit for him in the secondary. berger was picked by Calgary in the fourth round (30th overall) of the 2012 Cfl draft. in his first year with the stampeders, he was forced to play special teams, blocking on punt and kick returns while being a

gunner on punting situations. but this year, he has been able to work his way into some of the defensive packages as a defensive back, recording seven defensive tackles and nine special-teams tackles. once miller moved to sfu, he became roommates with berger again. in 2012, miller was second on the team in tackling with 73, falling one short of linebacker Casey Chin for the team lead. unlike his best friend, miller wasn’t drafted to the Cfl after university, but he was determined to make it there. once training camps were over, the lions signed miller in June 2013 as a free agent to their practice roster, but he was cut at the end of august. after being cut, miller knew he had to bring
something to a team in order to remain on the roster. so, during the offseason, he taught himself how to long snap and, in January of this year, the tiger-Cats signed miller. “he put himself in a position to contribute to that team on special teams and hold a roster spot by having a unique skill,” thornton said. miller is second on the depth chart as a long snapper, but has played on special teams for hamilton this year, recording two tackles this season. regardless of the score, one lord tweedsmuir graduate will have his name on the grey Cup, a first for the school’s 10-year football program. diana berger, adam’s mother, is attending sunday’s game, and said she’s feeling very nervous. “i will have both of their jerseys on,” she said.“Kyle said to me,‘no matter what… the cup is coming back to Cloverdale.’”

Your journey starts here.
You forget you’re driving in a very small car BY BRENDAN McALEER

Fit: one syllable, two meanings. On one hand you’ve got a connotation indicating a good heart rate, a lack of love handles, and a BMI that doesn’t make your family doc furrow her brow while flicking through your chart. On the other hand, it also means being the right size. As a moniker to slap on the back of a subcompact, a company could hardly do better, and with previous Fits, you could say much the same thing about Honda. Particularly in the first generation to arrive in North America, the Fit was quick, cute, capable, and fun to fling around. It was the most Honda-ish car in Honda’s lineup. However, here’s the third generation and both width and power are up. The demands of safety ratings and comfort levels are ever-present and this car is no longer the little flighty Fit that we once knew and loved. It’s all grown up. So, has the littlest Honda gone from Fit to Fat, Or is it still survival of the Fittest?
Design:
Like almost every other modern Honda, there’s a lot going on here design-wise. You’ve got your multi-layered grille, you’ve got your faux air-vents out back – it’s less cutesy than the first-gen Fit, and a tad more aggressive than the previous model. I quite like it. It’s very Japanese-looking, full of angular creases and a scrunched-up profile, but the new Fit manages to look fresh without overdoing it. The rear nonfunctional bumper-vents are a bit much, but other than that, it’s a sharp-looking little pod. Hey little Honda, do you work out? Base cars come with a 15” steel-wheel and the top-level EX-L trim comes with a 16” alloy. For those who are
buying a subcompact to keep the costs down, that means your next set of winter tires isn’t going to break the bank even if you jump up to the all-the-bells-and-whistles model. There’s more good news inside too.
Environment:
The Fit’s clever interior has been around long enough that you have to wonder why more manufacturers don’t copy it. Whatever the case, the Fit is fabulous on the inside. The easiest way to demonstrate how great the Fit is at packing stuff in is to unload another car into it, as I did. The supplies for a week-long road trip (including toddler, and accompanying accessories) were ferried from a packed-to-the-gills Subaru Impreza hatchback into the Fit, and when the transfer was completed, the Honda still had space aplenty. The seats fold flat, the loading height is low, you can flip the rear seat bottoms up for more clearance, or the whole thing turns into a sort of couch when you’re in line at the ferry. Up front, Honda’s futurism is slightly more of a mixed bag. At the top end of the scale, the centre console is devoid of knobs. Actually, when powered down, it’s completely blanked out. Fire it up and there’s quite a lot of tech on display, and the satellite navigation responds to pinch-and-swipe commands. It’s all fairly straightforward to use, but it sure would be handy to have an old-fashioned volume knob. Happily, you get one on the base model. You also have to wonder why there’s an HDMI input but no auxiliary jack. Still, with dual USB ports so that everyone’s got enough to charge all their devices, and a number of interior cubbies, it’s a useful, comfortable, well-fitting place to be.
Performance:
Even though this year’s Fit is slightly smaller than last year’s model, Honda’s managed to cram more power under hood. The engine is now a 1.5L four-cylinder making 130hp at 6600rpm and 114lb/ft of torque at 4600rpm. If you look at the torque figure, you’ll note that it’s a little on the
light side, so winding up that little four-pot is required for passing or merging. With the CVT automatic, doing so might be simply noisy. With the six-speed manual, it’s just like driving a Honda of old. Rev it right up into the stratosphere and the Fit scurries down the on-ramp with aplomb. It’s not exactly fast, but it’s as quick as you could want, even when loaded down with a small family and their luggage. Pitch it into a corner, and some of that old Honda charm is not quite what it used to be. This car is tuned for a smoother ride, and isn’t quite as nimble as the first-gen Fit, or the old Civic hatchbacks were. Still, it’s no slouch and if you keep the revs up can still be an entertaining drive. On longer roads at higher speeds, the Fit’s subcompact roots do show through. At highway speeds the tachometer reads above 3000rpm, so there’s plenty of engine noise to go with the wind noise. I suppose it’s more a comment on the sheer amount of space and nicely-appointed interior that you forget you’re driving in a very small car: for its class, it’s perfectly acceptable. Features: All Fits come with a standard backup camera and touchscreen, power doorlocks, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a whole host of other features. Stepping up a level gets you those USB connectors and heated front seats, and the top-spec EX-L comes with some pretty unique stuff. Take Honda’s camera-based lane-watch system. Put on your indicator and it shows you your right-side blind-spot displayed in the centre console. It’s not the only thing to look at, but an extra check that might help you spot a cyclist or similar. Fuel economy ratings are decent, as you’d expect for a subcompact, rated at 7.3L/100kms City and 6.1L/100kms Highway for the CVT, and 8.1L/100kms City and 6.4L/100kms Highway for the manual. Observed consumption in the manual on the highway was slightly higher than rated.

south surrey — after 93 years it’s hard to look good, and after a serving as a crossing for nearly 100 years, the little Campbell river rail bridge certainly wasn’t pretty. but that all changed on nov. 20 when a crew of 35 pulled the crossing from the ground and put a brand-new 80-foot steel span in its place. starting early that morning, the team arrived on site via the rail line and proceeded to unbolt the aged bridge. using a rail-based crane, they then proceeded to lift the rusted structure from its longtime home. gus melonas, spokesman for rail operator burlington northern santa fe (bnsf), said the new crossing was put in without incident and was completed later that afternoon. rail traffic had been suspended during work and resumed that night. “so we ran the first train through after 10 p.m. last night – it was the amtrak coming up from seattle to Vancouver and it was all good,” he said, adding a mixed-freight train crossed later in the night. melonas said there were some final welds to be completed on the new crossing, and until those are done next week, all rail traffic is being reduced to 40 kilometres per hour. typical speeds over the bridge are 50 km/h for freight trains and 80 km/h for passenger trains. “We’re going to eliminate track joints so that the rail is seamless,” he explained of the welds. the $2-million replacement came after
a crew pulls the aged Little campbell river rail bridge from the ground before putting a brand-new 80-foot steel span in its place. years of concerns raised by surrounding communities, including the City of White rock, residents in south surrey and members of semiahmoo first nation. Perry adebar, a professor at ubC’s department of civil engineering and a south surrey resident, raised concerns last year after finding parts of the bridge rustedthrough in some areas. “i’ve never seen this level of corrosion in any structure and you certainly wouldn’t expect to see this kind of damage in a structure that’s being used every day,” he told the Now at the time. Compounding concerns were the increasing frequency of dangerous materials being transported along the route, which have included goods like hydrochloric acid, chlorine and petroleum distillates. but with the new bridge now in place, melonas is hoping those fears will be eased. “the bridge is operating as designed, flawlessly,” he said. “this in an investment by bnsf to allow efficient and safe movement of both freight and passenger between Canada and the u.s.” cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Slain journalist remembered at Surrey gurdwara service tara singh hayer’s son says Canada still not immune from terrorism surrey — the murders last month of two Canadian soldiers by extremists show that Canada is still not immune from terrorism 16 years after the assassination of journalist tara singh hayer, his son said sunday. former liberal mla dave hayer told a memorial service for his father that the attack on Parliament hill and the murders of nathan Cirillo and Patrice Vincent are a reminder that extremism still exists in Canada. “When we talk about terrorism in Canada, this is not new what we are experiencing now,” hayer told hundreds gathered at surrey’s brookside gurdwara. “We can’t have people from other parts of the world brainwashing our kids, our people here, to do their dirty work, especially with terrorist acts like what we experienced at
the parliament buildings just recently. sadly enough, we lost two soldiers.” tara hayer, the publisher of the IndoCanadian Times, was shot to death in his guildford garage on nov. 18, 1998 after exposing those behind the 1985 air india bombing in his newspaper. his dad had received death threats for years, but still continued to write against extremism even after he was paralyzed in a 1988 attempt on his life, hayer recalled. While police identified suspects in the 1998 murder with links to the babbar Khalsa terrorist group, no one has ever been charged. tara hayer is believed to be the only journalist ever assassinated in Canada. liberal mla ralph sultan also said what happened in ottawa last month shows “there are still people in our society who are quite prepared to use violence, killing, threats and intimidation to accomplish what they think is the proper agenda.” “i think this day is a reminder to all of us that these people have no place in our country,” sultan said.

Your journey starts here.
You forget you’re driving in a very small car BY BRENDAN McALEER

Fit: one syllable, two meanings. On one hand you’ve got a connotation indicating a good heart rate, a lack of love handles, and a BMI that doesn’t make your family doc furrow her brow while flicking through your chart. On the other hand, it also means being the right size. As a moniker to slap on the back of a subcompact, a company could hardly do better, and with previous Fits, you could say much the same thing about Honda. Particularly in the first generation to arrive in North America, the Fit was quick, cute, capable, and fun to fling around. It was the most Honda-ish car in Honda’s lineup. However, here’s the third generation and both width and power are up. The demands of safety ratings and comfort levels are ever-present and this car is no longer the little flighty Fit that we once knew and loved. It’s all grown up. So, has the littlest Honda gone from Fit to Fat, Or is it still survival of the Fittest?
Design:
Like almost every other modern Honda, there’s a lot going on here design-wise. You’ve got your multi-layered grille, you’ve got your faux air-vents out back – it’s less cutesy than the first-gen Fit, and a tad more aggressive than the previous model. I quite like it. It’s very Japanese-looking, full of angular creases and a scrunched-up profile, but the new Fit manages to look fresh without overdoing it. The rear nonfunctional bumper-vents are a bit much, but other than that, it’s a sharp-looking little pod. Hey little Honda, do you work out? Base cars come with a 15” steel-wheel and the top-level EX-L trim comes with a 16” alloy. For those who are
buying a subcompact to keep the costs down, that means your next set of winter tires isn’t going to break the bank even if you jump up to the all-the-bells-and-whistles model. There’s more good news inside too.
Environment:
The Fit’s clever interior has been around long enough that you have to wonder why more manufacturers don’t copy it. Whatever the case, the Fit is fabulous on the inside. The easiest way to demonstrate how great the Fit is at packing stuff in is to unload another car into it, as I did. The supplies for a week-long road trip (including toddler, and accompanying accessories) were ferried from a packed-to-the-gills Subaru Impreza hatchback into the Fit, and when the transfer was completed, the Honda still had space aplenty. The seats fold flat, the loading height is low, you can flip the rear seat bottoms up for more clearance, or the whole thing turns into a sort of couch when you’re in line at the ferry. Up front, Honda’s futurism is slightly more of a mixed bag. At the top end of the scale, the centre console is devoid of knobs. Actually, when powered down, it’s completely blanked out. Fire it up and there’s quite a lot of tech on display, and the satellite navigation responds to pinch-and-swipe commands. It’s all fairly straightforward to use, but it sure would be handy to have an old-fashioned volume knob. Happily, you get one on the base model. You also have to wonder why there’s an HDMI input but no auxiliary jack. Still, with dual USB ports so that everyone’s got enough to charge all their devices, and a number of interior cubbies, it’s a useful, comfortable, well-fitting place to be.
Performance:
Even though this year’s Fit is slightly smaller than last year’s model, Honda’s managed to cram more power under hood. The engine is now a 1.5L four-cylinder making 130hp at 6600rpm and 114lb/ft of torque at 4600rpm. If you look at the torque figure, you’ll note that it’s a little on the

light side, so winding up that little four-pot is required for passing or merging. With the CVT automatic, doing so might be simply noisy. With the six-speed manual, it’s just like driving a Honda of old. Rev it right up into the stratosphere and the Fit scurries down the on-ramp with aplomb. It’s not exactly fast, but it’s as quick as you could want, even when loaded down with a small family and their luggage. Pitch it into a corner, and some of that old Honda charm is not quite what it used to be. This car is tuned for a smoother ride, and isn’t quite as nimble as the first-gen Fit, or the old Civic hatchbacks were. Still, it’s no slouch and if you keep the revs up can still be an entertaining drive. On longer roads at higher speeds, the Fit’s subcompact roots do show through. At highway speeds the tachometer reads above 3000rpm, so there’s plenty of engine noise to go with the wind noise. I suppose it’s more a comment on the sheer amount of space and nicely-appointed interior that you forget you’re driving in a very small car: for its class, it’s perfectly acceptable. Features: All Fits come with a standard backup camera and touchscreen, power doorlocks, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a whole host of other features. Stepping up a level gets you those USB connectors and heated front seats, and the top-spec EX-L comes with some pretty unique stuff. Take Honda’s camera-based lane-watch system. Put on your indicator and it shows you your right-side blind-spot displayed in the centre console. It’s not the only thing to look at, but an extra check that might help you spot a cyclist or similar. Fuel economy ratings are decent, as you’d expect for a subcompact, rated at 7.3L/100kms City and 6.1L/100kms Highway for the CVT, and 8.1L/100kms City and 6.4L/100kms Highway for the manual. Observed consumption in the manual on the highway was slightly higher than rated.
