Wheelchair basketball
Teen taking a shot at national squad Langley’s Jack Kosterman is one of two 16-year-olds auditioning for the Canadian senior men’s wheelchair basketball team, tryouts for which happen this week Troy Landreville

LANGLEY — You don’t become one of the top young wheelchair basketball players in Canada purely on talent – something Jack Kosterman has in abundance. It also takes practice, practice and even more practice. To wit: Kosterman trains six days a week, three to four hours each day. Asked how many shots he figures that he takes each week, the 16-year-old answered, “thousands.” Shooting a basketball in a seated position can be a challenge, especially for those making the transition from stand-up hoops. For Kosterman, who started playing the wheelchair game when he was 10 after developing a bone disease that left him with limited hip mobility, it wasn’t as much of an issue. “I was a chubby little kid when I played stand-up so when I transitioned, I was using all arms anyway,” Kosterman said with a chuckle. “And I prefer the angle from being lower, you get more arc on your shot. I shoot better sitting down.” He said 80 per cent of wheelchair basketball is about upper body and core strength. “A lot of times my hands are off my wheels, I have my hands on the ball, and I’m moving the chair with my legs and with my torso,” he said. Kosterman was introduced to wheelchair basketball by a school occupational therapist, who put him in contact with BC Wheelchair Basketball. He participated in Bridging the Gap’s Have A Go Day and was hooked. After that, he began attending regional junior practices and soon progressed to the provincial level, representing B.C. at the 2011 Canada Games in Halifax, NS. A Grade 11 student at Langley Fine Arts School, Kosterman is an accomplished wheelchair basketball player. He is currently with U23 Team Canada (IWBF), Team BC (Canada Winter Games), and the Seattle Supersonics (US NWBA). Kosterman now has his sights set on making the 2015 Canadian senior men’s team. He is one of three players from B.C., and 21 in total, invited to attend a selection camp taking place this week (Dec. 14 to 19) at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in
Scarborough, Ont., home of the Wheelchair Basketball Canada National Academy. In August, the senior national team will represent Canada on home soil at the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games, which is the qualification tournament for the 2016 Paralympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Team Canada is the reigning Paralympic gold medalist from the London 2012 Paralympic Games. “I think I’ve got a good shot. I’ve been working hard,” Kosterman said. “They are world-class athletes so no matter what, I’m honoured to be there.” Kosterman is one of two 16-year-old athletes trying out for the team, Liam Hickey from St. John’s, Nfld., being the other. While he uses a wheelchair solely for basketball, Kosterman qualifies to play because of his hip ailment. “I stuck to wheelchair basketball. I prefer it, it’s more exciting,” Kosterman said. “It’s more physical than stand-up.” The rules between wheelchair and standup basketball are “fairly similar,” Kosterman said: “Travelling is different. There is more contact because you have the chair, so you can beat the other guys up a little bit more. Aside from that, it’s the same hoops, same court…” The senior men’s national team went undefeated at the London 2012 Paralympics to capture their third gold medal in four Paralympic Games. It is the latest accomplishment in a sport dynasty that has placed them on the podium at four consecutive Paralympics and at five of the last six world championships.

Aviation Hall of Fame welcomes Langley Snowbird LANGLEY — A man with a passion for flying who has made a huge commitment to the aviation industry and the community has been named to Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame. The honour is being bestowed upon George Miller, a retired Royal Canadian Air Force colonel, Team Leader of the Canadian Snowbirds Aerial Demonstration Team in the 1960s and Team Leader of the Fraser Blues Formation Team, which is renowned for its numerous local Remembrance Day fly-pasts. Miller, former longtime manager of Langley Regional Airport, will be inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame on June 4, 2015 at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. George will then take his place beside great Canadian aviators, leaders, and innovators such George Frederick “Buss” Beurling and William Avery “Billy” Bishop. “What an honour this is for George, and one he truly deserves,” said Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese.“Langley Regional Airport is an outstanding asset to our community. Not only is this thriving facility one of the top community airports in Canada, it provides transportation, hundreds of jobs, and training opportunities for in-demand careers. The airport is a huge economic driver and it was George’s vision, commitment, and hard work that got it there.”

Bev Dornan named Good Citizen of Year LANGLEY — Bev Dornan was floored when her name was announced as the Harold Stafford Good Citizen of the Year on Dec. 9. Dornan was given the award at the dinner meeting of Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. The chamber selects one citizen every year who exemplifies selfless service to the community. “It never, ever occurred to me,” Dornan said when asked if she suspected she had been named. Some nominees have to be specially invited to the event, but Dornan, a past chamber president, usually attends. However, she had a conflict with another meeting and Bev Dornan considered skipping it. Kurt and Brenda Alberts offered to give her a lift, apparently afraid she wouldn’t come, Dornan said. Dornan was honoured for a long list of events for which she’s volunteered. In the last year, her most high-profile work has been her leadership of the annual Langley Relay for Life, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Canadian Cancer Society. She said she got into volunteering through her work with the old Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce, starting with events like the Aldergrove Fair Days and the neighbourhood’s Youth Ambassador Program. She kept on taking up new jobs and causes after joining the Greater Langley Chamber.
Classic Christmas movies shown at The Clova CLOVERDALE — The Clova will showcase a trio of classic Christmas movies this month, as part of a limited reopening. The three “Christmas Classics at the Clova” movies are It’s a Wonderful Life (shown last Friday, Dec. 12), A Christmas Carol (Dec. 19, 7 p.m.) and The Polar Express (pictured, Dec. 22,
1:30 p.m.). Admission is by donation to the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program and Surrey Food Bank. “Please bring an unopened, nonperishable food item to exchange for a ticket,” reads a post at Clovatheatre. com. “Doors will be open 30 minutes
prior to showtime. No outside food or drink is permitted. Bag of popcorn and can of pop available for $2. Coffee/hot chocolate free of charge.” The movie theatre was closed in August after the former operator’s lease was not renewed by the building owner, Crossridge Church.

Seasonal fundraiser at shopping mall
Wrapped up in a good cause Gord Goble
Now contributor Goble@shaw.ca
SOUTH SURREY — It’s easy to feel a bit jaded about this whole Christmas thing. There’s the onslaught of advertisements posing as feel-good carols and the glut of cruddy yuletide movies (Christmas with the Kranks, Deck The Halls – choose your poison) that pollute our screens from Halloween onward. Then there’s the rampant consumerism that compels already-overspent saps to buy this year’s i-whatever when last year’s i-whatever still does the trick. You get the drift. But every so often, you encounter someone who not only embodies the true spirit of the season, but humbles you – really humbles you – in the process. Janet Jans is one such person. In 1997, Jans lost her 52-year-old brother, Russell Swanky, to cancer. “He was healthy all his life, strong as can be, 6’ 2”, blond, blue eyes,” she said. “He graduated from college and wanted to be a marine. He took his training in the Nevada desert; that’s where the atomic bomb was tested. Most everyone in his troop has since died of cancer.” One other thing. “The cancer that my brother died of can be cured now.” It’s that last bit, as bittersweet as it may be, that makes what Jans does each Christmas season for the past decade so incredibly important. Jans wraps gifts at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, in a booth located in the centre of the walkway between Dollarama and The Source. Like Eminem, she’s a heck of a (w)rapper – fast, efficient, enthusiastic and capable of drawing a crowd. But Jans doesn’t wrap to make a few spare bucks. Indeed, neither the mall nor Jans nor any of the other wrappers at the booth make a single penny from their efforts. Instead, they do it for the Canadian

The idea was hatched way back in 2004, with a conversation between Jans and Jeri Cox, the mall’s marketing director. Gift wrapping to benefit cancer research? For a woman who’d volunteered for much of her life, including a stint with a bingo charity in Ottawa for a new children’s hospital (“We had politician’s wives coming by in their chauffeur-driven limousines and even ladies of the night”), this was a slam-dunk. Ten years later, Jans not only continues to work the ribbon and the scissors, but she also co-ordinates an army of 93 other, equally bighearted, gift-wrapping volunteers. Some are teachers, some are realtors, some are doctors, some are moms. And the generosity doesn’t end there. Jans credits the mall for providing nocharge booth space. She talks of kind shop owners such as the footwear retailer down the hall who offers up shoe boxes as gift boxes, the firemen who bring in gifts for wrapping and “outside” volunteers like her husband, who provides courier service.

And then there’s “Candyman.” “Several times each year, this fellow would come in and give each of the girls one candy and say, ‘You’re not sweet enough.’ We called him Candyman. We never knew his real name. We eventually lost him to cancer.” Three or four of the volunteers have been lost to cancer, she added. “One lady lost her leg but wanted to come in and wrap anyway, in her wheelchair.” And now, in the tenth year of the program, Jans and company have hit a remarkable milestone. Just this past weekend, as some unnamed customer handed their gift over the counter, they reached the $100,000 mark in money raised. It’s no trivial figure in anyone’s books, and a testament to the selfless work these friends and colleagues do. So if at some point this season you find yourself crunched for time, head on over to see the good folks at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre’s gift-wrapping booth. Bring along 20 bucks and you’ll even get a tax receipt.

ENGAGE Surrey Memorial Hospital
Couple mark anniversary of their gift of life Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
SURREY — It’s been a year since a Surrey couple did the ultimate gift exchange. Gurjit Cheema needed a kidney, having battled kidney disease since being diagnosed at the age of 15, and her now-fiancé Shak Pawar had one to give. The couple, both of whom were not a transplant match for each other, signed up as a pair exchange under BC Transplant. As Cheema received her new kidney from a living donor, Pawar became a living donor for another person. “How the paired exchange works is, you’re paired up with someone else. Me and her were paired and then there was another couple paired. I wasn’t a match to her but I was a match to the other couple. That was last November,” Pawar said modestly on Dec. 3 at Surrey Memorial Hospital, where he, Cheema and two other organ transplant recipients, Barbara Perceval and Rick Lidder, were set to deliver festive tins of popcorn to staff of the hospital. Called “Operation Popcorn,” organ transplant recipients with BC Transplant give their thanks each year to hospital staff who’ve helped them in getting the greatest gift of all: life. Transplant BC has been carrying out the affair for the past 23 years. Both Cheema and Pawar said they wanted to give back to those who gave to them. “It can be a selfless job that’s not recognized,” Pawar said of the doctors, nurses and hospital workers who helped them with their transplant. “I didn’t know anything about (organ transplant) until (I met) Gurjit, and then after that I found out, so it’s been an emotional roller-coaster. It’s a small gesture for us, but it might go a long way, just so they know we think of them.” The pair met nine years ago when they were introduced to each other through a mutual friend. According to Cheema, dealing with kidney disease and knowing she would eventually need an organ transplant deterred her from wanting to get into a relationship at all. “It was a big thing for me to even date

(Photo: ADRIAN MACNAIR) someone because it was this big burden, having a disease. I didn’t know it was going to happen, I didn’t know what dialysis was, I didn’t know any of that,” she admitted, emotionally. “I was with him the whole time I was on dialysis. He knew how to set up the machine and everything. It was pretty handy having him around when it came to the transplant.” Last November, the couple recovered together at Vancouver General Hospital, both in separate beds. “We spent the holidays together making gingerbread houses and stuff,” Cheema said cheerfully. “And having Skype dates,” Pawar said with a laugh. They now live in Surrey, and together they are planning their upcoming August wedding. Unlike Cheema and Pawar, Rick Lidder’s organ came from a deceased donor.
“I had a liver transplant in August 2012, so just over two years,” he told the Now. For Lidder, his transplant came in the nick of time. “I was hospitalized for about six weeks here at SMH and after that I started going through the process of being on the waiting list. My last week before my transplant, I didn’t even know if I was going to make it. They told me that, if by that weekend nothing came along, I wouldn’t be around,” he said. “I’m just grateful for all the hard work that the doctors and nurses do and it’s just unreal,” Lidder said of being at the hospital again for Operation Popcorn. “More importantly, I think it’s just giving back, paying it forward.” Speaking of “paying it forward,” each of the organ transplant recipients is now, of course, an organ donor themselves. Cheema said she signed up when she was still a minor. “I became an organ donor when I was 15,” she said proudly. “Right when I was
diagnosed I saw the form and filled it out, and my parents signed it and I sent it in. It’s one of those things that people don’t think of doing. It comes in the mail but you just say, ‘Oh I’ll get to it later.’ We’re big advocates for it and we’re always out there trying to raise awareness.” Barbara Perceval is her own miraculous success story, after receiving a “new” kidney 15 years ago. She said being able to give back to the staff at SMH is a small thanks compared to what she’s been given. “I’ve lived life,” she said, when asked what her kidney donation means to her. She said it means a lot “just for them to see the positive results of the transplant and how people go on to lead normal lives.” BC Transplant and Operation Popcorn hit 26 hospitals this year, giving away more than 100 tins of popcorn to hospital staff.

WHALLEY — With a masters in bioethics and a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, Feezah Jaffer never imagined her landing spot would be Surrey Food Bank. After all, it’s an unusual career change for someone who worked in forensics for the RCMP. But for the last four years, she’s been working her way up the ladder at the food bank, now finding herself second in command as director of external relations. The born-and-raised Surreyite spent five years working in the forensics field, but said her life changed during a year-long trip to Pakistan after her contract was up. “That’s when it clicked for me that this is what I want to do – helping people overcome things,” she said. There, she worked for a non-profit that had a micro-finance division and provided loans to women. “There was this one woman, she was 60something. She was illiterate and she’d just become a widow a couple years before and her only skill was weaving. She got together with 20 other women and they started this

Within six months she gave it back because her business was so successful. “The spirit of that woman was inspiring.” When she returned to Canada, she pondered what to do with the rest of her life. “I found the food bank. I lived here all my life and never knew there was one,” she said. “When I saw this job, I connected to it. When I started listening to the clients and hearing their stories, and I worked my way up, it’s just what I love.” see › page 7

For Jaffer, the work is about more than feeding the hungry. She works to educate the bank’s clientele so they can advance their lives – just like she witnessed in the woman from Pakistan. “We’re not just a food bank anymore, we’re trying to bring in information and community partners so that our clients are enriched by that experience. We’re not just giving you food, we’re giving you tools to not need us anymore,” she noted. Jaffer said she can’t imagine going back to her previous work. Social work is what she’s built for, she said. “Yes you get paid for it, yes you get the rewards out of it but at the end of the day it just feels like what you’re supposed to do. For me, this is what I’m supposed to do.” Through her four years with the organization, Jaffer has seen and helped it evolve. She launched a variety of programs – an evening depot, pre-K program, vegetarian hamper and a seniors-only service, to name a few. Next year, she is planning to introduce a youth program. Executive director of the food bank, Marilyn Herrmann, recalled looking at Feezah’s resume and thinking,“Why does she want to work here?” After all, she seemed overqualified for the
assistant position she initially applied for. “But she’s a very valuable asset to the organization,” Herrmann said.“I don’t think any of us had the food bank in our career plan. I remember when I first came into food banking almost 15 years ago now, someone said to me,‘Why don’t you go get a real job? You’ve got a degree.’ I had come from the corporate world, but I think you become so passionate and so fulfilled by what you do.” Meanwhile, Surrey Food Bank isn’t just expanding its programs, it’s changing in other ways. The organization has long been searching for a larger and more suitable location. While it thought it had found one – and even put an offer in on a building – it didn’t work out. To make it work in their current Whalley facility, the group embarked upon renovations at the end of September to spiff things up a bit. New carpets have gone in and new paint has been slapped on the walls. And for the first time ever, the food bank now has a 3,000-square foot off-site warehouse to supplement its 8,000-squarefoot headquarters, so as to allow more of their services to be provided indoors.

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community

A tale of two shelters
Lookout Emergency Aid Society takes the Now on a tour of one of its purpose-built, low-barrier homeless shelters in Vancouver and also Surrey’s current makeshift model. The difference is staggering. Meanwhile, Surrey rezones a site for a new emergency shelter to replace an aging facility STORY BY AMY REID
W
alking past Surrey’s Gateway 40-bed barrierfree homeless shelter, it’s impossible to miss. After all, it’s on what’s nicknamed “the strip,” also known as 135A Street. Street people gather outside on the street by the dozen. Shopping carts, belongings and bikes litter the sidewalks. A trip to the Yukon Shelter in Vancouver is starkly different. During a visit earlier this month, no one could be seen outside. No shopping carts were visible. Even once in the lobby of the building, it was not apparent the building was in fact a homeless shelter. The difference is intentional, as Yukon was a purposebuilt shelter, including many features that Surrey lacks. Courtyards and balconies were placed in the centre of the building to keep people from loitering out front. It boasts more than 70 shelter beds and 37 transitional housing units, and a lounge area for people to spend time
in during the day. It has a commercial kitchen, a bed bug sauna, as well as space to hold community events and birthday celebrations. Of the 70 plus shelter beds at Yukon, 26 are “dormitory” style bunk beds, which is all Surrey has. The rest of Yukon’s shelter beds are in private rooms, able to hold one to three people, are pet-friendly and include a private locker as well as a sink and mirror. And in the Vancouver shelter, people can stay within the facility during the day, so they’re not hanging out on the streets and coming back to line up for a bed at night like in Surrey. Replacement of the existing emergency shelter in Surrey is identified as an immediate priority for action in the city’s Master Plan for Housing the Homeless. A report to council earlier this year acknowledged the Yukon Shelter as a successful example of a mixed-facility,
such as Surrey hopes to see. The Now was given a tour of the two shelters by Shayne Williams, executive director of Lookout Emergency Aid Society. It now operates both facilities, following a recent merger with Keys Housing and Health Solutions. Williams, who previously served as executive director of Keys, said the Whalley shelter cooks in the summer, and with bunk beds placed within two feet from one another, one can easily imagine the noises and smells that plague the space at night. “Surrey is a completely retrofitted ’70s building,” he explained. “It’s poorly ventilated and insulated.” Then there’s the Front Room, a 24/7 drop-in centre that’s operated out of the same building as the Whalley shelter. It sees some 11,000 unique visitors in a typical year, Williams said. see › page 9

“With 225 to 230 different people just in this building alone everyday, obviously the possibility of victimization is a little higher, just from the sheer number of transient people that are coming through here,” he said, noting Yukon’s amenities are just for residents of the shelter. There are some who try to take advantage of the vulnerable people seeking safe haven in the Front Room, he said. “So many of these people are lost souls. And people try to prey upon those souls…. You’re looking at pimps, drug dealers, they come in. We identify them and work very closely with the RCMP,” he noted. “Just recently, a known enforcer on the strip was killed in this neighbourhood and we knew about him. We knew every time he would walk up and down this road somebody was going to get beat up. So when he was walking up and down the road, we were making a phone call. Twenty per cent of this job is policing,” he said. Such is not the case at other purpose-built Lookout shelters, as people are able to stay inside the facility, not so vulnerable to outside influences. “It’s really triage (in Surrey). People are walking in the door and you don’t know who’s coming. Where (at Yukon) folks check into the shelter and they can stay here during the day.” Williams said another difference between the two shelters is the flow.

t the Front Room, where food is served, people have to line up and are often waiting outside battling rough weather. “It’s horrible. By the time they get inside, they’re not happy to be there, they’re pissed off and understandably. It’s better than it was, but there’s a long way to go.” The demand for services in Surrey outweighs that at the Yukon shelter, Williams noted, yet the Whalley operation is smaller. He hopes to see that change with a purpose-built space. But according to Williams, the largest downfall of Surrey’s existing emergency shelter is the lack of transitional housing. While Lookout has a 10-bed recovery home off-site, it’s five kilometres away. “When it comes to bricks and mortar, it’s night and day. Really, that’s the biggest missing piece in Surrey,” he said. “To have a shelter to draw people in, and to have nowhere to give them the next opportunity really puts us behind. It’s a missing step. “It’s the thing that would have people not dying on the streets, because we’re currently seeing people dying on the streets…. It’s heartbreaking.”
Despite the struggles Williams’ outlines, he said he’s proud of the work being done through the Gateway shelter. The organization has consistently housed an average of one person a day for the last several years, he noted. “What we’re doing here is incredibly valuable work on a shoestring budget at a very high level of competency. Unfortunately, being the only harm reduction service provider in the community has made us ostracized by our own community in some cases,” he said. Williams went on to say he would like to see more government investment in social issues. He pointed to a recent Homeless Hub report that stated every $10 put into social issues results in $21.72 in savings related to health care, social supports, housing and involvement in the justice system. Williams said there was a lot of talk about hiring more police officers during the recent civic election. “Take that investment and put it into social housing and you’ll probably see the equivalent in savings. You’ll probably see the same outcomes but have a healthier community overall,” he said. “It’s like trying to mop up a floor when you’re missing half a roof.”

Williams said no number of police on the streets will solve the issues the homeless face. “And it’s not going to increase safety. If you leave people so incredibly marginalized and so disenfranchised, they’re going to do what they need to do to survive. It’s literally survival. We can get in front of this – we can. All we have to do is invest.” Williams has concerns with a new shelter being located in the hospital district, as opposed to on or near the strip. “My concern is that you build a shelter out of the neighbourhood that needs it and the shelter is a beautiful amenity that maybe doesn’t get filled immediately. It’s not walking distance from here. Certainly if you’re a drug user or if you’re 45 and you’ve been homeless for some time – because 45 is considered senior in the homeless world – you can’t walk that.” If the new shelter is built there, and the problem still exists in Whalley’s core, “who is going to be blamed?” he asked. “In a perfect world, the new shelter would be in the same area.” areid@thenownewspaper.com
Surrey’s new emergency shelter to be located on 137th Avenue SURREY — On Monday (Dec. 15), Surrey council gave the green light to a location for a new purpose-built shelter near Surrey Memorial Hospital. The site, in the 9600-block of 137th St., was up for rezoning, from RF to CD, to allow for a combined emergency shelter and transition house. The location went to public hearing last June and was met with some opposition. It was tabled at the time, as council directed staff to look at other locations. But Monday night, council gave third reading to rezone the site. Coun. Judy Villeneuve said she’s pleased

She emphasized the difference a purpose-built facility will make for Surrey’s most vulnerable. “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 for whether the Lookout organization will operate the new facility once complete, Villeneuve said that lies with BC Housing, but noted,“Lookout has a good reputation.” Amy Reid

Uber service a wake-up call for regulators
C
hances are you were hearing the name Uber and associating it with controversy before you even understood what the company was offering. Though they promote themselves as a technology company that offers ridesharing services, they are in reality, just a new way of dispatching vehicles for hire. The nearest Uber driver can be beckoned at an instant by way of a smartphone app. The fare is prearranged and paid for with a credit card, tip included. All very convenient – especially when there’s not a cab to be had. The main difference between Uber and a traditional cab company is that the Uber business model appears to involve setting up operations in new cities without jumping through any of the regulatory hoops required by the local jurisdiction. Naturally, the taxi industry is fighting them tooth and nail, and local governments are lining up to oppose them on the basis of safety. But frankly, Uber isn’t doing itself any favours by its own displays of arrogance. Investment speculators now value the company at more than $40 billion (yes, with a B), yet Uber’s executives appear to thrive on controversy, taunting their opponents, shrugging off serious PR nightmares and conflating the hostility they’ve earned with opposition to innovation. The sad part in all this is that Uber could be offering a new and welcome service. The existing cab industry operates to the dissatisfaction of many. This should also be a wake-up call to regulators. There is room for innovation and compromise but only for businesses that come to the table willing to play by the rules. Glacier Media

As a Christian, city council is ‘my politics’ as well The Editor, Re: “Please keep your religion out of my politics,” the Now column, Dec. 11. I was saddened to read Adrian MacNair’s opinion column. As a Christian and an active participant in the community and political process, and a voter in the recent election, I would like to think of council, and all realms of politics in this great city, as “my politics” as well. I was saddened to hear of his feelings of discomfort as an atheist during the public prayer offered to a God that he does not believe in. I will be the first to acknowledge that Christians and members of many other faith groups have failed at times to be sensitive to those having other views. I am truly sorry for that, as we are called to love our neighbours and we have not always done that very well. We as Christians have a
lot to learn when it comes to participating in this pluralistic culture that we live in together with people who believe in other Gods or who believe in no God. It is certainly not the same as it once was. Many of the beliefs and practices that flow from our Christian faith and that were once seen as normative (prayer in council chambers, for example) are no longer givens, and it is truly difficult for many of us to adjust to this change. But as we adjust we will continue always to believe in a supreme being and it will always be our mandate and in our nature to pray to God for those who lead us. I do not think it unreasonable that there be a short and heartfelt public prayer lifting up our elected representatives to God. The writer expressed his feelings of awkwardness during that public prayer. I can attest to

many similar feelings of awkwardness in situations where my Christian faith is derided and ridiculed or, if he has his way, removed entirely from the public sphere. We are challenged today as Christians to “embrace diversity,” and I think that is a fair challenge. But truly embracing diversity must, by definition, be awkward for everyone, because it requires all of us, not just people of faith, to embrace and be respectful of those who believe or behave in a way that we do not agree with. I can’t help but think that we as Christians would be better able to embrace diversity if we, too – even with our awkward and offensive beliefs and practices – were not marginalized but were also welcomed, with an embrace, to actively participate in the public sphere.

DEBATE Column
For the working class, death by a thousand tiny cuts UncommonSense Adrian MacNair
A
s I watched a man about my age gathering his sparse possessions from a raggedy tent haphazardly pitched in Whalley’s tent city, I couldn’t help but feel empathy. Although I’m not in danger of falling into homelessness myself, it’s not an impossible scenario. I’m just a few missed pay cheques and an alcohol or drug addiction away from similar destitution. And anyway, life is hard enough without adding more hardship. The cost of living in the Lower Mainland is almost so prohibitively high as to be pushing out the working class. Living Wage Canada estimated that in Metro Vancouver, the minimum wage needed to survive the high cost of rent, food, clothing and other necessities of life is now $19.62 an hour, close to $9 an hour more than the minimum wage set by the provincial government. If the livable wage continues to rise in Metro Vancouver – as I expect it can only continue to do – who’s going to be left to build our glass skyscrapers, clean our toilets or serve us coffee? The solution to the problem used to be moving to Surrey. Ah yes, Surrey. The fastest growing city in the province, expected to eclipse Vancouver’s population in the next decade or so. It’s where the working class moved as the gentrification of the big city forced out anybody who couldn’t afford – read this next part with a Dr. Evil voiceover – $1 million for a single-family home. But now even people in Surrey are feeling the persistent pinch of poverty. The city is set to increase the tax rates by 2.9 per cent to pay for all those police officers we don’t have, while adding a “cultural and recreational parcel tax” of $100, and a 3.9 per cent user fee increase for municipal facilities.
This tent city in Whalley was taken down on Dec. 3. (File photo: ADRIAN MACNAIR) With municipal coffers swelled by a seemingly endless supply of development cost charges, one hopes Surrey never runs out of room to develop or we might be in store for a serious tax hike one day. That’s the bad news for homeowners, but it gets worse for those of us who sign away our earnings to a landlord (or lady). The city is planning a $116 increase to secondary suites, putting a strain on affordable rental units at a time when the vulnerably housed can least afford it. That represents a 28.3 per cent fee increase, which will almost certainly be passed along to the renter. But wait. There’s more. There’s been talk by the provincial government about allowing hikes to rent control, which is already set at two per
cent per year plus the cost of inflation (1.1 per cent). Should that happen, rents could skyrocket beyond the budgetary controls of many people renting. I don’t know about you, but I sure don’t get a 3.1-per-cent pay raise every year to ensure my ability to pay rent meets the inflationary value of the property. To add the last straw to the camel’s back, the 2015 transit referendum is proposing a 0.5-per-cent increase to the provincial tax rate to pay for the $7.5-billion regional transportation plan of the Mayor’s Council. It wasn’t long ago that Premier Gordon Campbell was dangling a 10-per-cent sales tax carrot in front of the noses of voters to keep the HST alive. Alas, B.C. residents decided we wanted to pay an extra two
per cent to go back to an inefficient and antiquated system, and now we’re thinking about adding another half-percentage point again. This, when we already pay a TransLink premium of 17 cents a litre on gasoline in Metro Vancouver. Yeah, no thanks, I’ve got a Nexus card. It’s just another tiny cut and, individually, it doesn’t hurt. But collectively these cuts are bleeding the working class dry. If things keep up like this, the middle class will soon be taking my place, and I might have to go looking for a good tent. Adrian MacNair is a staff reporter with the Now.

‘Walking the talk’ with prayer a blessing to me The Editor, Re: “Please keep your religion out of my politics,” the Now column, Dec. 11. Adrian MacNair’s column is an interesting piece of journalism. Any reference to God in the public arena is bound to generate fairly strong reactions. That is especially true when government is “involved.” Apparently, opinion polls have consistently shown that more than half of Canadians believe in God (not necessarily the God of a specific religion or faith). The expression of faith in God, even during a function associated with the business of government, is neither indoctrination nor repudiation of those who hold opposing views. I understand, however, that anyone who has experienced the ugly, self-righteous and haughty behaviour of so-called “religious” individuals is predisposed toward rejecting any form of acknowledgement of God in a public forum. For me, it is a particular satisfaction and
blessing when a person who is offering a prayer to God is “walking the talk” – transparent, humble and authentic. Friedhelm Jungclaus
Right on, columnist Re: “Please keep your religion out of my politics,” the Now column by Adrian MacNair, Dec. 11. Right on, Adrian! But why bother saying please? The believers certainly don’t bother with manners; they just expect that in public, others will defer to their beliefs. Without God’s blessing, spake Randy Emerson of Cloverdale Christian Church, “distrust, prejudice and animosity will rule our hearts.” Gosh, Pastor, I guess that perfectly explains the Spanish Inquisition, the troubles in Ireland and the ongoing misery in the Middle East.

Mail delivery dangerous for Canada Post workers The Editor, Re: “Canada Post forges ahead as mail thieves lick their lips,” Our View editorial, the Now, Dec. 9. Your article on Canada Post was obviously from a very uninformed member of your staff. The people of Delta, who will no longer see their mail delivered to their doors by next fall, must be very thankful. Contrary to the information that they will be the first in the Lower Mainland not to have their mail delivered to their doors, I have news for you: I live in the Fraser Heights area of North Surrey – yes, in the Lower Mainland – and I have never had my mail delivered to my door in the 27 years that I have lived here. Canada Post is yet another one of our very Canadian corporations trying to compete in a world in which technology
candy canes
is growing so fast, it is difficult for most people to keep up. Personal delivery is provided by a human being who is out delivering to these same people who are our mail thieves. It is a very dangerous job and people like them are very unappreciated for the job they do. They, too, can have their mail taken away from them as they go from house to house and mail box to mail box, carrying a heavy bag. The mail person has to sometimes deal with rude and ignorant residents and threatening dogs. If you think Canada Post has not spent many hours thinking out a better solution for their workers and, yes, their customers, go on a route with a mail deliverer for a day and then write your article.

URREY — In the post-recession Canadian job market where unemployment among youth hovers stubbornly at 13 per cent, more graduates are finding experience is more valuable than a pay cheque. Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz raised a few eyebrows in November after suggesting students should work for free in exchange for experience. Some employers have taken note of the free labour offer, hiring students fresh from college and university to take part in unpaid internships with the lure of a job. The federal NDP has taken note as well, introducing a private members bill in the House of Commons on Nov. 25 that offers some protection for those young workers. Named the Intern Protection Act, Bill C636 would extend workplace standards to all unpaid interns, guarantee the same right to health and safety standards and include the same reasonable hours of work as full-time employees. “Because we don’t have slavery anymore. And when you look at it, the estimation is currently there could be anywhere up to 300,000 unpaid internships in Canada,” explains Jinny Sims, NDP MP for NewtonNorth Delta. Sims says the NDP wants the federal government to lay out clear conditions for the use of unpaid labour designated as internships. Using an example, Sims recently hired an intern for her riding office who needed experience in social policy to complete her degree as a social worker. The NDP would require the internship be associated with a post-secondary or equivalent institution, primarily benefit the intern and not replace any paid employees. As well, the employer must notify the intern of the terms of the internship before starting the job, including keeping a record of hours worked. The NDP wants Statistics Canada to keep track of those numbers in order to paint a picture of how much businesses rely on interns in the workforce. “It’s kind of really upsetting that this is happening in 2014,” says Sims. “To me, we have to be very careful with youth unemployment being in the double digits. A lot of young people are desperate and are hoping that this will give them a leg up.” But Sims says in many instances where interns are taking jobs the experience isn’t related to their education. “We’re very concerned that we have a growing number of young people doing unpaid work without any protection and without it being of direct benefit to them with regard to the degree they’re working on or
“So I imagine that some would simply have to go out of business if they couldn’t rely on volunteer labour. But then it makes you wonder, well, maybe they should go out of business then. If they don’t have a business model that can support paying their employees then how valid is the business?”

wantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) journalism chair Beverley Sinclair graduated from BCIT’s broadcast journalism program in 1975 and has worked a career in radio, television, magazines and newspapers. “I’ve seen the internship thing from all of those perspectives. And I’ve been on both sides of it,” says Sinclair. She says when she was starting out in the industry, the internships were more legitimate and likely to be associated with a journalism school. They often or almost always led to work. “But there weren’t the internships we’re talking about now where people are being hired for months without being paid and they’re not still in school,” says Sinclair. A disappointment in recent years is the number of media companies who call during the vacation season looking for an intern, but Sinclair says what they’re really after is

somebody to work for free for two months full-time. “What they’re really asking me for is to refer students for volunteer labour. And I’m very uncomfortable doing that.” Sinclair says it’s ultimately up to her students if they want to work for free but at a certain point using the term “internship” is unethical when that’s not what’s on offer. Sinclair says if an internship is part of a course they’re taking then they get a university credit for it and benefit from the labour. “Because then they’re getting something for it. They’re getting the experience and they’re getting a credit for their course. But outside of that they should be paid.” Sinclair says many established, corporate media companies are using the term internship when they really mean volunteer labour. She suggests that if the NDP legislation were passed by the government – private member bills seldom become law – it might be difficult for many media outlets who are already “crying broke.”

ecent KPU graduate Hayley Woodin landed a job at the university after finishing the journalism program in May. The 23-year-old Cloverdale native started at KPU in 2009 after graduating from Earl Marriott’s French Immersion program. Woodin spent two weeks interning at Vancouver’s 24 Hours newspaper to provide holiday relief for a staff employee, and another two weeks at City TV Breakfast Television. She says it was exciting to see her name in print and go out and shoot videos and take photos despite not being paid. “It didn’t bother me that I wasn’t being paid because those first two experiences were for credits. So I was paying to take that course and I went out and did that experience and got the credits that I needed to get that degree.” Although Woodin has put in many hours of unpaid work throughout her young career – both for university credits and just for the experience – she says she doesn’t regret taking the initiative. “My philosophy has always been to, if you can, take any opportunity and I really wanted to make it in journalism and I wanted that experience,” says Woodin. A self-described “keener” who took opportunities she didn’t need to obtain her degree, Woodin attributes her volunteer work at KPU for the connections she made and what ultimately landed her the job. “I don’t know if I can speak generally for everyone. Everyone has different economic backgrounds, different goals, different aspirations. I was fortunate that I didn’t have to work full-time during my degree so I had the opportunity to take internships or take opportunities that didn’t compensate me.” When asked whether landing a job so soon after graduation in the same school was a matter of good luck, Woodin says the key is to gain as much experience and preparation as possible in order to be the right person in the right moment when opportunity knocks. “I know a lot of people who have not had some of the breaks I have had. And they’ve worked equally as hard during their degree. I don’t know whether that’s luck, timing, qualifications, whether they have other commitments that they’re absolutely required to uphold so they can’t take opportunities. “I think it can be tough and so I would empathize with people who are trying their best and just cannot catch a break.”

INFoRM Clayton
Residents threaten protest over parking Adrian MacNair
Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair
CLoVERDALE — A simmering battle over street parking in a Clayton neighbourhood is in danger of bubbling over as residents are threatening to hold a “park-in” protest to block a construction project. Local homeowner Scott Anderson, who lives on 72nd Avenue, said the City of Surrey has unexpectedly announced plans to widen the road, which would remove the already scarce street parking on the gravel shoulder. Anderson said when Surrey Council approved seven-bedroom houses with limited street parking it should have known it would create issues when people moved in. “People are parking their car and walking three blocks home after work in the pissing rain,” he said, adding the situation will get worse when the parking disappears from 72nd Avenue. Anderson said there’s already no parking on the side streets, so when people begin looking elsewhere it’s going to pit neighbour against neighbour. Like many residents in the Clayton neighbourhood, he purchased three years ago after checking with Surrey’s planning department. He said he was told there were no plans to widen 72nd Avenue in the fiveor 10-year capital plans. “People purchased on the information the City of Surrey provided. And then three years later they give us seven weeks notice that they’re widening the road and removing all of the parking along 72nd Ave., which I think is the straw that broke the camel’s back out there.” Anderson launched the website Parkingforclayton.com on Sunday, offering residents the opportunity to sign a petition calling on Surrey to put a stop to the construction. As of Tuesday afternoon, the website had received nearly 50,000 visitors and the petition had been signed by 308 people. Given the number of complaints to the city, Surrey Council decided at Monday’s meeting to defer the issue to the
transportation committee. Coun. Tom Gill, chair of the committee, said they plan to look at the specific issues related to the complaints and try and offer solutions for the neighbourhood. His suggestion would be to allow residents to park on both sides of the street on an interim basis, but said construction will go ahead as planned. Gill blamed the parking problem on the city’s expectation that TransLink would service the area better. Residents have complained that buses are infrequent and unreliable. “What needs to change is the philosophy of being able to have appropriate transit available frequently,” he said. one solution being proposed is to limit the number of secondary suites in the area that has contributed to the volume of parked cars. Surrey Council has put a hold on coach house development and Gill said they will support bylaw enforcement to crack down on illegal secondary suites in the basements. “I think it would be fair for me to state that generally the enforcement in the past has always been complaint-based. And again I think what has been the unfortunate issue is that I don’t think people are having such a difficult time in terms of the conflict of having one suite or two suites but it’s the parking that is aggravating individuals.” But Anderson said the city is to blame for allowing housing developers to make homes without driveways. And cracking down on illegal suites won’t help the situation now. “obviously, people are still going to stay there, whether it’s family, extended family, friends. They need cars, so removing the secondary suites I don’t think is a solution to the parking problem,” he said. Anderson added that it would just remove affordable housing from Clayton and force the problem somewhere else. The Parking for Clayton group is planning to meet with the city on Thursday evening to work out a solution. Should those negotiations fail, the group is planning a protest this Sunday, Dec. 21 that would block 72nd Avenue and 192nd Street. amacnair@thenownewspaper.com

Residents share opinions on proposed Surrey tax increases Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — Residents shared their concerns over Surrey’s proposed tax increases on Monday at city hall. The average tax bill is set to increase from
$1593 to $1755 in 2015, a $162 jump, which would include a new $100 cultural and recreation levy, a one per cent road and tax levy and a 2.9 per cent property tax increase. The $100 cultural levy is proposed to pay for the city’s capital projects, such as the Grandview and Guildford pools, as the city looks at a $3.9 million bill for 2015 to hire
the 100 new officers Surrey First promised during the election. The city is also facing a $3.7 million increase for fire services due to a new contract signed this fall. Secondary suite fees are also set to increase, from $410 to $526. Resident concerns varied, including how the tax increases would affect low-income families,
that Surrey First didn’t speak of the increases during the recent civic election and that the secondary suite fee increase would result in higher costs for renters, thus diminishing the city’s affordable housing stock. See FULL STORY OnLine AT ThenOwnewSpApeR.cOm

‘Alcohol-fuelled altercation’ led to teen’s death, IHIT says Adrian MacNair
Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair
SOUTH SURREY — A community is in mourning following the shocking and seemingly random death of a popular 15-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student in South Surrey early Saturday morning. Surrey RCMP confirmed Sunday that Dario Bartoli had succumbed to injuries sustained during an apparent attack by a group of four or five people. Bartoli was an avid skateboarder and BMX biker who was frequently seen at South Surrey’s Skate Park, where friends have already erected memorials and spray painted tributes in his memory. Those friends also took to Facebook to grieve and share photos. “Dario was a great friend,” wrote Matthew McFarland. “Some of my greatest memories with him (were) hanging out at the duck ponds at the bench. Unfortunately, the benches were removed awhile ago, and I’m writing this to start a mission to have benches built and dedicated to him. This may be very difficult for a group of teenagers to accomplish, but I’m going to give it my all and hopefully others will, too. Share this to spread my message by liking and sharing, and hopefully (Dario’s) legacy will live on in EMS as a legend forever. RIP Dario Bartoli.” It was roughly 2:30 a.m. Saturday that Bartoli was reportedly out with another boy, aged 14, in a wooded section on the southwest side of Bakerview Park at 154th Street and 18th Avenue when they were attacked by a group of people. After fleeing their attackers, the two arrived at a house in the 15600-block of 18th Avenue, from which Bartoli was transported to Peace Arch Hospital in critical condition. He died of his injuries shortly after 10 a.m. The murder investigation is now being handled by the

Jennifer Pound said while investigators have spoken Dario Bartoli with some friends and witnesses, there are many more the team need to reach and police are asking anyone who might have details about the murder to come forward. “There is much rumour and speculation as to what occurred the evening Dario was killed, and for that reason we ask individuals who have information to come to police before turning to social media,” said Pound, who added the scene was likely “dynamic” and the incident happened quickly. Police have yet to confirm if or what weapons were involved or the size of the suspect group but wouldn’t classify the incident as a swarming.
“Early indications support the theory that this was an alcohol-fuelled altercation between two groups that turned tragic,” said Pound. “The IHIT require time to gather the evidence based on the facts and not rumour or speculation, for that, we are asking for the public’s support in bringing information forward.” The house where the injured teens fled is about three blocks east of the cordoned-off section of Bakerview Park. Police found several beer bottles on the ground in the park. An autopsy is scheduled this week to assist police in determining the cause and means of death. IHIT is asking anyone with information to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877551-4448, or, if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477. - with file from The Province

Surrey Arts Centre
‘Sleeping Beauty’ brings King’s panto history to stage Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
SURREY — There’s a reason Ellie King is heralded as the Queen of the Pantomime. King – artistic director for Royal Canadian Theatre Company (RCTC), which is putting on Sleeping Beauty the panto at Surrey Arts Centre starting this weekend – has been involved in pantomime since she was a wee one in her home country of Britain. “I was on stage when I was twoand-a-half in a panto, and I grew up doing it in Britain,” King told the Now over the phone. “I learned from the horse’s mouth, if you would.” Since moving to Canada and starting up her own theatre company, King has been rewriting the scripts to old fairy tales and turning them into traditional pantomimes, and that’s going on 26 years strong. For those in the dark about ye olde tradition of panto, it’s a
musical, family-friendly comedy characterized by groan-worthy jokes, cross-dressing actors and is very loosely-based on a well-known fairytale. “I rewrite all the scripts myself, from scratch,” King said confidently, “unless I’m rewriting one of my own, but I still consider it from scratch.” This is the first time Sleeping Beauty is being adapted in the tradition for RCTC. The play stars 75-year-old Alan Cedargreen as the dame Nurse Bizzie Lizzie, Erin Marshall as Fairy Snowdrop, Stephen Elcheshen as Demon Hemlock, Melissa Paras as Princess Rosebud, Andie Francis as Prince Indigo and Kerri Norris as the evil Fairy Nightshade. The panto begins Friday (Dec. 19) and runs until Dec. 27 at Surrey Arts Centre. “Some people trumpet their scripts as being world premieres, so I guess I have 26 years of world premieres going for me,” she said with a laugh. Though pantomimes are made
anew each Christmas season, King says, to do it right, there are a few mainstays in the custom. “One of the things about panto is that the lines are there and you colour inside them, but you change the colours if you want. That’s kind of how it works,” she explained. Those “lines” refer to the things that remain constant, like the personal journey narrative, the good versus evil storyline and classic characters. “The demon and fairy, those are essential elements for any pantomime, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise, because that harks back to the medieval morality plays. If you don’t have a demon and you don’t have a fairy, then you don’t have a panto. “There are certain rules that you have to observe and that’s one of them,” King said resolvedly. While other pantomimes happening this season are great to enjoy and good for a laugh, King says she takes her history quite seriously. But that’s not to say she

hasn’t modernized a few characters, like the “feisty” princess, and a rewritten journey for the prince. “My little burning flame is to keep alive the real McCoy. I’m not denigrating what other people
do, but a lot of people stick a man in a dress and think they’ve got a panto and they don’t. It really does need to hark back to the medieval morality plays, with the good versus evil, hell’s mouth and paradise and the cross-dressing that has a historical basis.” If you pay close attention, King says, attending her panto is almost like a history lesson. “I love theatre in general, and I love history, and panto retains within it some historical forms of theatre that have been lost elsewhere — if you do it right,” King said. Tickets for Sleeping Beauty are $27.85 for adults, $17.85 for kids and can be purchased by calling 604-501-5566. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

t’ssupercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Arts Club Theatre’s Christmas production of Mary Poppins is all that and more. This spectacular musical is two-and-a-half hours of non-stop energy, magical songs and applause-worthy dance routines. This better-than-the-Disney-movie show (my opinion) runs until Jan. 4 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage on Granville Street, Vancouver. Sara-Jeanne Hosie is practically perfect as the title character. She wins hearts with this performance – the best of her career, I think. Loved her as Patsy Cline (and I am not a fan of country music) in A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline, but she is absolutely perfect as Mary Poppins. You won’t need a spoonful of sugar to watch this performance. I don’t give rave reviews, so pay attention. This is a rave review. The whole production of Mary Poppins is simply stunning. From the opening number of “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” sung by Bert (Scott Walters), to the finale of “A Spoonful of Sugar/A Shooting Star,” there is not a musical miscue or ho-hum song. You will leave the theatre humming and elated. That is what this story does for you. Mary Poppins is the stern but kind nanny who helps her young charges (brilliant young actors Kassia Danielle Malmquist and Graham Verchere) rediscover the best things in life. Their father (Warren Kimmel) finds that he can survive in the business of banking

by backing the hard-working honest man rather than the schemer. And he can make time for his family – the most important thing of all. This is a superb cast all around. Susan Anderson is Mrs. Brill and the bird woman. Caitriona Murphy is Mrs. Banks, and Katey Wright is Miss Andrew/Mrs. Corry. More applause, standing ovation. Of course, I must compliment choreographer Valerie Easton, especially for the all-out, OMG tap dancing for “Step In Time.” Costumes by Sheila White and her fantastic crew are a visual treat – absolutely perfect from Sara-Jeanne Hosie head to toe. I have made my fair share of costumes and, in this department, I can get critical. And I do. My hat is off to this costume crew. Outstanding is not a good enough word, but I’ve already used the “super” word in this column’s opening sentence. Mary Poppins is a technically challenging show. Mary has to fly, as do birds and kites. There are magic bits. All these actions are more easily accomplished in a movie where you can keep filming until you achieve perfection. In live theatre, every moment can be different, and there are no retakes. The concept takes imagination. Making it all happen before a live audience takes a talented tech crew. Well done; you, too, get a fair share of the applause. Evening performances of Mary Poppins start at 7 p.m., so take note; we are used to shows starting at 8

Culture is the buzz word of the year, apparently. At least, it was on the top of the list of words looked up by young people. Gads, are we not exposing our youth to culture? Sure this word has many interpretations, but let’s just say culture as applied to the arts. Spending time with your kids and taking them on outings (like Mary Poppins) will last longer as a memory than the latest iPad or iPhone, or whatever. It is a great gift. Some parents, of course, are already on the culture bandwagon. For sure, I did my time toting tots to cultural events, dance lessons, piano lessons and orchestra rehearsals. We went to concerts, shows and recitals. So I do understand the time it takes to include your child in the arts. Claudia Eichbauer took the time to send me a note about her daughter, Karina McRae. This is Karina’s first year performing with the White Rock Players’ Club in its annual pantomime. “She really loves participating,” says proud mom. Karina, by the way, is one of three little pigs in the panto, and her name got left out in last week’s review. So now you have all of the Three Little Pigs. And good job to the parents, too. Babes in the Wood has a very long run, and it can collide with Christmas plans. Thank you, all parents, for enabling your children to participate. And it is definitely OK to let them know how wonderful you are for encouraging their interests in the performing arts. I love you, too.

GO! Music
Surrey kids busk for charity bucks
Surrey family bonds as mall band
SULLIVAN HEIGHTS — Cambridge Elementary students have big hearts, says principal Antonio Vendramin, who started at the school this past September. Along with the staff and parents of the school, he’s not alone. What really caught Vendramin’s attention in his first year at the school were two Grade 7 boys – Kyle and Marcus Wilson – who set up their saxophones in the courtyard by the crosswalk after school to play for their peers. What they did next shocked him. “Kids will get their instruments the first time and you’ll hear them out in the school yard and they’ll be playing,”Vendramin explained. “That’s pretty typical. But these boys decided to do it right out front and I went over to them and said jokingly,‘Hey, if you’re at the corner here, why not open your cases and maybe people will throw in money?’ I had some change in my pocket and I threw it in, and I talked to some teachers and I encouraged them to do the same thing. So, it started innocently enough.” The boys – who aren’t related but share a surname – decided to count the change, but instead of splitting the cash, they opted to hand over the money to Surrey Food Bank. “Then they kind of took that seriously… so I thought that showed initiative on their part,”Vendramin said. Kyle and Marcus would bring the money to the school’s office for the secretary to keep, and the school then donated the cash to the local charity. The boys raised north of $120 for the food bank up until a fellow classmate’s mom had passed away.“It was about three or four weeks ago. She had been battling breast cancer,”Vendramin said in an earlyDecember interview. “This is a pretty tight-knit community, so when we talk about Grade 7, these are kids who have been together for a long time. One of the boys in particular has taken it really to heart so then they asked me ‘Could we, instead of raising money for the food bank, can we raise money for cancer research?’ And I said ‘Of course.’”

SOUTH SURREY — They’re not the Partridge Family, but it’s not difficult to draw parallels between them and a local band of siblings, 3v1. Just like in the 1970s sitcom, this gaggle of brothers and sisters – well, in this case, just one sister – have found an unexpected closeness and camaraderie through music. The four Hooker siblings from South Surrey – Aaron, Melissa, Jacob and Daniel – have been jamming together in their parents’ garage for the past few months, and already the band is booking gigs. 3v1 – that’s three brothers and one sister – played Willowbrook Shopping Centre on Black Friday (Nov. 22), and they’ve got another two shows booked at the Langley mall before Christmas. “We started playing music together for Christmas about two or three years ago and the funny thing is we got together because a few years back my dad bought a game called Rock Band,” said Daniel, 14, who plays drums. “From there… instead of playing the game, we decided to get into the real thing.” Aaron, the youngest Hooker at just seven years old who sings back-up vocals, is quick to add that the lesson is “basically, lots of video games are educational.” Ranging in age from seven to 14, the kids are exhibiting exceptional talent only a few years into music lessons. The Hookers began performing at their church during Christmas time a few years back, but started gelling musically more recently. “I feel like playing music with our siblings makes it a little easier, although we do fight a lot sometimes. It kind of brings us closer together and that’s why I really like playing together,” said 12-year-old Melissa, who plays the keyboard and sings. “It’s not hard for us to agree on a song to play, since we all kind of end up listening to the same things since we all live in the same house.” On the roster of songs played by 3v1, radio hits are always a go. Their most recently polished tune is “Counting Stars”
Jacob Hooker (front), 11, plays lead guitar for his all-sibling band 3v1, which has brother Daniel, 14, on drums, Aaron, 7, on backup vocals and sister Melissa, 12, on vocals and keyboard. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) by OneRepublic, but the kids note that other items on the set list include “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit and a few Maroon 5 songs. “We just play a lot of covers that are played on the radio. Our mom’s always telling us we should play songs that people know because they’ll enjoy it a lot more,” Melissa said, nodding to her mom, Rosario, who is hailed by the kids as the band manager. “I’m more into old songs like Led Zeppelin,” offered up Jacob, who’s already mastering “Stairway to Heaven” at the wizened age of 11. “In reality, if there’s a song we like, we play it. We don’t settle for any specific genre,” Daniel chimed in. As for nerves getting in the way when the band of siblings gets on stage, they’re used to it. “Since we’ve been playing a lot, we just got used to it and we don’t get nervous anymore,” Aaron told the Now. “We’re not focusing on that,” Jacob is quick to add. What the band is focusing on, however, is getting polished up and perhaps foraying into songwriting. “We don’t have any specific goals,” Daniel said when asked what’s next for the group. “We’re just going to keep going and
whatever happens, happens,” sister Melissa added. Aaron, although the youngest sibling, seems to have a clearer direction. “When we get even better, then we might start writing our own songs and then we might get a record deal or whatever,” he said, wide-eyed. For now, the kids are saving up cash they get from delivering the Now newspaper on Tuesdays and Thursdays to spend on expanding their collection of musical instruments. In the end, they’ll all be closer for it. “It’s true that they fight sometimes but something I am glad to say is after every show, we can see that they are closer. Something happens and after the show, I can see expressions that I don’t normally see,” said Rosario proudly. That amity and harmony is exactly what has the band well on their way to becoming the next Partridge Family, so you just might want to ask for an autograph with your next newspaper delivery. 3v1 will perform at Willowbrook Shopping Centre (19705 Fraser Hwy, Langley) on Saturday, Dec. 20 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and on Monday, Dec. 22 from 5 to 6 p.m.

City Centre Library
According to Vendramin, the saxophone cases began getting hit with dimes and quarters, and then it became loonies and toonies, and then fives and twenties. “It kind of started to take on a life of its own,” he said. When the boys are out in front of the school busking for charity bucks, saxophone cases open with their sign reading “100 per cent of proceeds going towards breast cancer research,” and hordes of students and parents gathered around, it’s clear that, indeed, what started as two friends practicing their instruments has taken on a new life. As the kids play anything from “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” to the Wham! hit “Careless Whisper” in the front courtyard, their peers yell over the saxophone wails, “Good for you!” and “You’re doing it for a good cause!” Not only are Kyle and
Marcus Wilson (left) and Kyle Wilson (right) “busk” outside their school, Cambridge Elementary in Surrey, after the dismissal bell to raise cash for cancer research. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) Marcus helping out others with their music, it seems to be therapeutic in a time of hardship for them, too. “It just kind of feels natural. I think music helps us relax sometimes,” Kyle said, looking at Marcus. Asked if the pair consider themselves a band, both say they’re happy just to play music. “We consider ourselves two students of a band, and we just do this,” Marcus offered. “We’re more like two pieces out of a loaf of bread, or two pieces of a pie,” Kyle
added in. Marcus concluded, “or two pieces of a puzzle.” They both nodded. Vendramin, when asked why he thinks the boys decided to take on busking for charity, said the school just has “a lot of heart.” “It’s a community that really looks out for itself and is tight knit and jumps onboard. They know that the mom passed away and this was their way of doing something about it and not just feeling sad,” he said, proudly. Kristi Alexandra

DRIVETRAIN: Camry’s four-cylinder and V6 engines return unaltered, as does the Hybrid’s gasoline-electric power team.
For years the Toyota Camry has been one of the principal leaders in the mid-size sedan segment. To appeal to new and existing buyers alike, Toyota has sharpened the Camry’s claws in one of the brand’s more dramatic adjustments. The most obvious change is the dramatically different front end where a new spindle-style grille/ air intake has been installed. There are new gauges, a reshaped control panel and recovered seats with better-quality fabrics. One neat feature is an available wireless charging system located in a bin ahead of the shifter that will energize your smart phone or similar electronic device without having to plug it in. Virtually unchanged are the Camry’s three power teams that are proven stalwarts and remain competitive against the rest of the field. Camry drivers are treated to a retuned

For the 2014 model year, Toyota upped its styling game with a more dramatic look. The handsome trapezoidal grille and lower air intake will attract buyers who are looking for style and practicality. The overall size hasn’t changed much from the outgoing wagon, but a nearly eight-centimetre extension in overall length and a bit more width has helped improve interior packaging to the point where rear stowage space behind the third row increased by a claimed 34 per cent. Up front, the styling is equally pleasing as well as practical with an enlarged floorconsole bin. The new dashboard and control panel are swathed in soft-touch materials and the gauge cluster has also been given

TODAY’S DRIVE Auto news
Appetite grows for more environmentally friendly vehicles EV prices coming down, but more charging stations and government incentives needed before sales take off I believe it’s very important for the government to build more public charging stations and provide other incentives to help the EV market reach a more critical mass.

certifieD Pre-oWneD VehicleS
RICHMOND — New car sales are expected to reach record highs again this year driven by increased consumer confidence and a number of great new products on the lot. Dozens of new vehicles have been unveiled by automakers in recent months, most of which include exciting new technology to make driving safer, more efficient and more fun. Many car buyers are also looking for better fuel efficiency in their rides, which most new vehicles offer. This helps drivers not only save money, but also do their part to reduce greenhouse gas and other emissions. Low interest rates are also creating some great deals for new car buyers, allowing dealers the chance to offer incentives such as low or even zeroper-cent purchase financing. These are some of the factors behind the 6.5-per-cent increase in light-vehicle sales across Canada in October (the latest data available). According to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants, 154,949 new cars and trucks were driven off lots from coast to coast. Demand for pickup trucks and SUVs was particularly strong, accounting for about 58 per cent of sales for the month. In B.C., year-todate light vehicle sales increased by 6.1 per cent to 162,408 vehicles in October compared to 2013. About 1.58 million vehicles were sold across Canada between January and October
this year, which compares to just under 1.5 million for the same period last year. Economists are calling for 2014 to be another record year. That includes a growing appetite for more environmentally friendly hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs), particularly in the Lower Mainland now that Tesla has opened its first B.C. store in downtown Vancouver. Other manufacturers are also selling EVs, which is leading to an increase in the number of charging stations across the province. EV prices are also starting to come down, making the vehicles more affordable for some households. Unfortunately, the B.C. government stopped offering a $5,000 rebate for EVs earlier this year, which has put a damper on sales. I believe it’s very important for the government to build more public charging stations and provide other incentives to help the EV market reach a more critical mass. Overall, the good news for buyers is there’s a wide range of terrific new vehicles to choose from. The hard part - and for some it’s also the fun part - is picking the one that best suits your needs and wants. Make sure you mark your calendar now for the 2015 Vancouver International Auto Show from March 24-29 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.

War vets fight feds’ court appeal Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
VANCOUVER — Six veterans and their legal team, with the help of White Rock-based Equitas Society, are fighting an appeal by the federal government to throw out a class-action lawsuit the society filed in September 2013. The appellant case, which is now being heard in the B.C. Court of Appeal, began on Dec. 3. The veterans were fighting the enaction of the New Veterans Charter that was passed in 2006, which gave veterans of the Afghanistan war one-time lump sum payouts instead of the lifetime disability pensions they had been promised when going into war. “They (the federal government) asked the
courts to strike down the action, saying that it’s a frivolous complaint and action, and the BC Supreme Court did not agree with them and now they’re rearguing it,” Jim Scott, president of the Equitas Society, explained. Scott’s son, Dan, one of the six representative plaintiffs in the case, received a one-time payout of $41,500 for his injuries, which included a fractured rib, collapsed lung, and damage to his kidney, spleen and pancreas. “They’re in the courts, they’re getting the best advice and action available in Canada, and that’s all we can guarantee them,” Scott said of the veterans. “We can’t guarantee they’re going to win, we can’t guarantee the government is going to change it. All we can say is that their rights are going to be represented.” Veterans Affairs recently
announced it would be pouring $200 million into “expanded mental health initiatives” for veterans. According to Gerry Lenoski, vice-president of Equitas Society, it currently takes Veterans Affairs eight months to pair mentallyinjured veterans with a case manager. That, he says, is a “glacial pace.” As for the 14 recommendations that were made to the New Veterans Charter, which Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino said the government accepts, Lenoski’s “confidence is not strong.” Both Scott and Lenoski, however, said they’re not of the population calling for the resignation of Fantino, which NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has done. “We have no reason to believe that he doesn’t have a soft spot for veterans,” Lenoski said of Fantino.

SOUTH SURREY — A community is in mourning following the shocking and seemingly random death of a popular 15-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary student in South Surrey early Saturday morning. Surrey RCMP confirmed Sunday that Dario Bartoli had succumbed to injuries sustained during an apparent attack by a group of four or five people. Bartoli was an avid skateboarder and BMX biker who was frequently seen at South Surrey’s Skate Park, where friends have erected memorials and spray-painted tributes in his memory. It was roughly 2:30 a.m. Saturday that Bartoli was reportedly out with another boy, aged 14, in a wooded section on the southwest side of Bakerview Park at 154th Street and 18th Avenue when they were attacked by a group of people. After fleeing their attackers, the two arrived at a house in the 15600-block of 18th Avenue, from which Bartoli was transported to Peace Arch Hospital in critical condition. He died of his injuries shortly after 10 a.m.

Jennifer Pound said while investigators have spoken with some friends and witnesses, there are Dario Bartoli many more the team need to reach and police are asking anyone who might have details about the murder to come forward. “There is much rumour and speculation as to what occurred the evening Dario was killed, and for that reason we ask individuals who have information to come to police before turning to social media,” said Pound, who added the scene was likely “dynamic” and the incident
happened quickly. Police have yet to confirm if or what weapons were involved or the size of the suspect group but wouldn’t classify the incident as a swarming. “Early indications support the theory that this was an alcohol-fuelled altercation between two groups that turned tragic,” said Pound.“The IHIT require time to gather the evidence based on the facts and not rumour or speculation, for that, we are asking for the public’s support in bringing information forward.” IHIT is asking anyone with information to call 1-877551-4448.
