Foodies flock to Fraser Highway for event Matthew Claxton

Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance

LANGLEY — They came, they saw, they ate. The Fork and Finger Foodie Event took over part of downtown Langley City for the second year on Saturday (Aug. 23), with public demonstrations of food preparation and special tastings at several locations on the one-way section of Fraser Highway. “It was a fabulous day. People are clearly passionate about food in this community,” said Teri James, executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association. The public demonstrations in McBurney Lane were particularly popular, James said. Parinya Loptson of Ban Chok Dee Thai restaurant transformed a variety of ordinary fruits, vegetables, and melons into elaborate abstract shapes and flowers with a handful of simple tools. Loptson said she’s selftaught since 2001. “It’s very enjoyable,” she said of her fruitcarving. “It keeps me calm. I like to do it when the kids go to bed.” Craig McDougall of Frostings showed off his skills with fondant, the sugary substance from

which a wide variety of cake decorations are made. “Making cakes out of fondant is very similar to playing with Play-Doh,” McDougall said. He said he learned a lot from playing with his young boys. McDougall showed off to the crowd how to mix together three colours to make “bacon” out of fondant for the top of a cake. In the past he’s created everything from a guitar to a house to a fish from fondant. Down the street at 1 Fish 2 Fish, Heather Jenkins was serving up oysters. “We’re getting some new people who have never tasted oysters before,” said Jenkins. She also performed a salmon-filleting demonstration for the crowds. Other demos included mixology and smoking meat. James said there are plans afoot to expand the program next year. In total, 16 downtown restaurants participated in either the passport program or through giving out samplers. Next year, James said they’re shooting for 25 to 30 restaurants, and they may increase advertising to bring in more people from outside Langley.

It was a fabulous day. People are clearly passionate about food in this community.

Halloween event

New program at KPU

Historic haunts will return to Fort Langley

University to teach students how to help save the world

FORT LANGLEY — Halloween is a few months a way, but the time to get tickets for the tour of Fort Langley’s spookiest sites is already here. Tickets for the annual Grave Tales Historic Walking Tour went on sale Aug. 15. The Fort Langley National Historic Site runs the annual evening tours, which take visitors from the Fort’s cemetery through the village and back into the historic fur trading post itself. With thousands of years of First Nations history and more than 150 years of European settlement, the village of Fort Langley has one of the longest histories of supposed hauntings in B.C. Fort interpreters will

lead walkers by lanternlight, and will tell stories of early Hudson’s Bay Company employees from the 19th century. William and Louisa Emptage supposedly linger in the village, with Louisa seen in the early mornings searching for William in the Fort’s cemetery. The stories are not all of ghosts, but include a healthy amount of local history. Grave Tales starts on Oct. 16, and has tours for adults 18 and over, for children aged five to 12 with their parents, and for teenagers 13 and up. Tickets are available online at Brownpapertickets.com. Search for “Fort Langley’s Grave Tales” to find the listings. Tickets are $15.10 for adults and teens, $11.70 for kids, plus charges.

LANGLEY — After six years of exploration, planning, and research, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) will be launching a new program in non-profit studies in September. The 30-credit certificate in NonGovernmental Organizations and Nonprofit Studies is a fit for those who want to work in the field of social change and helping others. KPU anthropology instructor Larissa Petrillo noted that jobs in the non-profit sector have no geographical boundaries in that there are both local and international opportunities in the field. “This is a vehicle for people who are altruistic in nature and who want to work in a field or for an organization that aligns with their views and allows them the flexibility to make a difference,” said Petrillo.

Prostate Cancer Pancake Breakfast Saturday, September 6, 2014 8am - 12pm

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to affect Canadian men. One in seven men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. Join us at this pancake fundraiser to help ﬁght Prostate Cancer. All proceeds go to Prostate Cancer Canada Network-Surrey and White Rock.

The unique program, suitable for new high school graduates as well as mature students, was born out of reviewing the needs of the non-profit Larissa Petrillo sector, students and alumni, other post-secondary institutions, and experts in the nonprofit field. It is a one-of-a-kind program in that it combines the teachings of KPU’s Faculty of Arts and School of Business to deliver graduates knowledge of philanthropy, financial management, and accountability. While the program will enable students to seek volunteer and entrylevel positions anywhere in the world, there is a strong understanding of local non-profit examples in the Metro

Vancouver region. According to KPU, the number of non-governmental agencies operating worldwide has been growing since the Second World War, with parallel growth in the labour market. For graduates of the program, that may mean job opportunities with organizations that address humanitarian, human rights, and environmental issues, as well as problems experienced by marginalized populations and developing nations. “This is a movement that changes the world at your doorstep, and moves across borders,” Petrillo said. As a specialist in social and cultural change, Petrillo believes those in the millennial generation will be attracted to the program due to their desire to “fix” the problems created in the world by previous generations. “They see all the negative effects of what others have done, and they sense the need for a radical shift to move forward with social change,” she said.

LANGLEY — There are a number of sports at the B.C. Seniors Games that can test the physical mettle of folks of any age. From cycling to swimming to dragonboat racing, some sports demand strength and endurance. There are also a number of events that emphasize reflexes, patience and intelligence over raw physical power. With the B.C. Seniors Games coming to Langley starting on Sept. 9, there is a chance for local seniors to participate and compete with people from around the province in a variety of these activities. Horseshoes: Played with individuals or in teams of two, this backyard favourite actually uses large stylized metal U-shaped bars, bigger than a real horseshoe. It will be played this year at the Cloverdale Horseshoe Club on 64th Avenue. Carpet bowling: A variant on indoor bowls, and related to the similar outdoors lawn bowling, carpet bowling is popular in parts of England. Single players, or groups of two, three, or four players in teams participate in an attempt to get their shots closer to a rolled jack than their opponents. It will be played at the LEC on 200th Street. Floor curling: Much

like its on-ice version, but designed for those who can’t ice curl because of back or knee problems. There is no sweeping, and the “rocks” are made of wood. The game is played on a wooden floor waxed for pushing the rocks, and the game is scored like traditional curling. Games will be played at the George Preston Recreation Centre on 42nd Aveue. Darts: A pub favourite, now played with a standarized round dart board and a specific set of rules. Darts will be played in the Coast Langley Hotel on Fraser Highway. Cribbage: A card game for two, three, or four players that involves grouping cards to gain points. The cribbage board is used for scorekeeping, and there is a complex scoring system including points for groups of cards that total 15. Competitions will take place at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre on 51B Avenue. Whist: A classic Victorian-era tricktaking card game, derived from earlier games like Ruff and Honours. The straightforward rules allow a variety of strategies. Games will be played at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre on 51B Avenue. The Games run from Sept. 9 to 13. To sign up as a volunteer, contact the local games organizers at 604533-8065.

Langley Concert band: New members with a minimum of one year playing experience are always welcome. Rehearsals: Monday, 7-9 p.m. in the R.E. Mountain Secondary band room, 7755 202A St. All types of music played. People can sit in for free for a few weeks to see if they like it. Info: langleyconcertband@gmail.com.

HE A

Horseshoes is a traditional favourite that will see competition taking place this year in Cloverdale as part of the B.C. Seniors Games, starting Sept. 9.

Organizers invite singers, dancers, poets, storytellers, artists, anyone with a talent to share and anyone who wants to watch the show. Two songs or 10 minutes per performer. Info: Call Sandy, 604-532-0616.

B.C.’s first funeral co-op gets its start in Surrey Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

NEWTON — The idea of supply and demand is easily understood by most: the more demand there is for a product or service, the more expensive its supply becomes. When it comes to funerals – it may be morbid but it’s true – there’s never a shortage of customers. That’s why Fabio Molina, founder of the Memorial Alliance funeral co-op, wants people to know that an unexpected death could mean unexpected costs and possibly debt in the tens of thousands for family members of the recently deceased. “I’ve been in the funeral and cemetery industry for about 10 years,” said Molina, who is a funeral and cemetery advisor in Surrey. “As I did research, even though I was in the industry for so long, I didn’t know there were funeral co-ops.” Co-ops, which are well known in the Spanish community according to Molina, help the consumer to act as part of a whole on behalf of an individual. While the Memorial Alliance funeral co-op is the first funeral co-op in British Columbia, the idea is prevalent and well known in places like Quebec and Ontario. “If somebody had a death, they would buy a membership, and when they had a death they’d call the society and they would refer them to two or three different funeral homes,” Molina explained. “A step above that: we actually help somebody do the actual planning.” Many funeral homes have discount programs for groups, so when declaring that you’re part of the Memorial Alliance funeral co-op, pre-arrangers get 10 per cent off services required from the funeral home. The co-op is currently connected to a few different funeral homes.

Fabio Molina and Gemina Arana operate Memorial Alliance funeral co-op. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) “Unfortunately, the consumer is just a little guy compared to the big guy who can say, ‘Well, take it or leave it,’” Molina said. “The group now has the purchasing power. Even though each member belongs to a group, they can say, ‘Hey I am purchasing with everybody else.’” Molina emphasizes that the focus of the initiative is on advance planning. “Unfortunately, right now I’m dealing with a family who didn’t have anything pre-planned. Now the dad passed away (and) the family is actually going around asking for donations for help,” he said. “They’re asking for donations because they have no money. A lot of families find themselves like that. They have to put it on the credit card. On 19 per cent interest, it’s

a huge debt.” Molina said that the funeral co-op will provide free advice, free guidance and tools that that will help the family in the event of a death. “We want to let the population know you have to ways of doing this. One, you wait until it’s more difficult and more expensive or you can do it when your mind is clear,” he said. The co-op will help in preparing wills, filling out family registries and outlining logistical steps of burial, cremation, funerals and “celebrations of life.” Molina said that, on average, the cost of burying a couple with a funeral service is $40,000. That cost only rises as years go on. The co-op aims to educate people on the costs of dying, including the price comparison between burial and cremation. “Who has (that money) just sitting around just in case I die?” he asked. “The younger you start, the more money you save. The price goes up every year.” Like in housing real estate, purchasing a plot for burial is all about location. The more expensive of an area one is buried in, the higher the cost of a plot. Molina argues that, oddly enough, pre-planning your own funeral can save a few mortal headaches and it shouldn’t be viewed superstitiously as a curse. “It is a fact, we prearrange for everything. A wedding, people prepare for six months to a year. The difference between them are the costs,” he said. “The benefits to the consumer are the savings, but also the education and the peace of mind that it brings to know you have taken care of something way down the road.” To learn more about B.C.’s first funeral co-op, you can visit Memorialalliance.com or call Molina at 778-241-4636. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

Mayor Watts to receive honorary degree from KPU Now staff Twitter @questionchris

SURREY — Mayor Dianne Watts will be receiving an honourary degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The announcement was made last week by KPU President Dianne Watts and Vice Chancellor Dr. Alan Davis, who will be presenting Watts with the degree this fall. According to Davis, Watts was a natural choice for the honour, which was unanimously agreed upon as it made its way through the various levels of approval at the university. “We’re always thinking about our region and the key people who have influenced our institution and the community,” said Davis, noting that Watts has had an unmistakable impact on Surrey. “We are a regional teaching university and we very much try to reflect what our region needs and what it wants and what it’s about. Very soon after I arrived here, I went to see Dianne Watts and she was very direct with me, very tough, and it wasn’t just a courtesy

thing. She laid out the things that Kwantlen needed to do to engage more with the community, to better serve the region.” Davis said he was impressed by Watts’ clear vision on the region and how she’s been able to elevate Surrey into becoming the rising star of the Metro Vancouver region. And while some may argue that Watts was just doing her job, Davis said she’s done much more than that. “I think it’s just a testimony, she’s the mayor and she’s elected and paid to do it but at the same time she’s risen above that and done a lot more, which is commendable,” he said. “She’s also a great role model for our students, particularly our female students. She presents herself in a way that is very admirable and deals with the power and influence that she has in a respectful way, but she’s also uncompromising in wanting the best for her community.” Watts will be presented with the degree in October, the month before the municipal election will determine her successor as mayor of Surrey. “We tend not to honour politicians that are sitting, but you do honour people who are at the end of their term and have declared their intent not to run again,” said Davis. “I thought she was gracious in accepting it as well, she said she would accept it but only ‘on behalf of the citizens of Surrey because they’re the ones that get it done.’”

Happy Labour Day!

Thank you for all the hard work you do for our community and our country!

Surrey boy in top six of national singing contest on TV Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — Shon Burnett, a talented 12-year-old, has made it into the top tier of young performers in the national hit show, The Next Star, which airs Monday nights on Canada’s YTV. The Surrey singer has also appeared on other televised singing competitions like K-POP Star Hunt 2

and The Trainer 5. Born in Thailand, Burnett was discovered by a popular Thai rock star while the young boy was busking at the Chatuchak, a flea market that’s among the largest in the world. “He found me busking one day in the street and he decided to mentor me and bring me out to performances,” Shon said. However, Shon credits his dad with teaching him how to sing and bringing

music into his life. Now the burgeoning young star plays seven instruments and pens his own songs. “I think I started singing when I was about four years old, and the first instrument I learned was piano and I learned that when I was six or seven,” Shon said. “I think my dad (inspired me) because he helps me write songs and he plays guitar, he’s the one who taught me to sing.” Being part of The Next Star, Shon

says it’s unlike his previous experiences on television and he’s making lots of life-long friends. In the end, the young pop star wants to “follow in the footsteps of Justin Beiber” and hopes to pen and record an album of original songs. As for a future in television and live performance? Well, he’s definitely not shy. “I really enjoy being in the spotlight. I just love performing,” Burnett said. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — The cast of CBC’s Heartland may be used to riding horses on set, but they are going to be riding motorcycles across the province to meet some of their fans. Graham Wardle, better known as Ty Borden from the television series, is one of the founders of Cruise with a Cause and he’s excited to travel around the province meeting fans and fundraising for Sophie’s Place. Wardle, who went to high school in Burnaby, said Cruise with a Cause tries to pick a charity that is underserved or needs more attention. Last year, the cruise raised money and awareness for prostate cancer. “Our trail boss last year, the guy who led the ride, had a lot of experience raising funds for prostate cancer. My grandfather died of prostate cancer. It’s a good cause and guys don’t like to go to the doctor, so it kind of fit with our thing of going to get tested,” Wardle said. Sophie’s Place seemed like the perfect charity to chose this year because the TV star can relate to a lot of the kids who are treated there. “Sophie’s Place was interesting because I’m a survivor of abuse,” said Wardle. “There’s another rider on the ride that’s a survivor of abuse. “We thought that this is a good cause, it hits close to home and we wanted to sort of talk about it in a positive light.

The buzz about craft beer BREWING: As craft beer sales soar locally and in the rest of Canada, some

breweries are taking a look at the impact the business has on the environment STORY BY KRISTI ALEXANDRA

ith a new craft beer tap seemingly popping up at almost every local watering hole in the Lower Mainland, it would be hard to downplay the impact that craft breweries have on the local economy. With craft beer sales soaring each year, and big brewers on a steady decline, would it be fair to say that the little guy is getting the big guy to “tap out”? Well, not entirely. In the 2013-14 year ending June 30, B.C. microbrewers – that is, breweries that sell less than 1.5 million litres per year – sold $67.4 million, nearly 50 per cent more than that of the year before, according to data from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch. Big domestic breweries, including breweries like Okanagan Springs or Granville Island Brewing, which sell more than 16 million litres of beer yearly, sold $717.9 million in the year ending June 30. Compared to its sales in 2008, the market has slowed down by nearly 15 per cent. While those numbers seem to say that smaller breweries are on the incline and big brewers are seeing a decline, there’s still a $650 million gap between the two. And contrary to what its numbers suggest, some breweries that are enjoying an increase in clientele are actually aiming to minimize their impact. Their environmental impact, that is. North Delta’s Turning Point Brewery, which produces for both Stanley Park Brewing and Hell’s Gate Brewing, for one, is taking steps to offset its energy usage – something that the brewery’s general manager, Jim Lister, says is incredibly difficult when producing large volumes of the draft. “Energy consumption is sort of the devil of the brewing industry because it takes a lot of energy to convert water and raw ingredients into a finished product that, at the lovely end of it, is the beer,” Lister said at the Annacis Island-based brewery, which touts Stanley Park as its flagship beer. “That takes water, it takes power and it takes things like malt and hops and packaging and things like that to get it to its final state.” see › page 9

So how exactly does such a big producer of several smaller batches minimize their damage? The eco-driven brewery took on three commitments that would help them pave the road to sustainability. “We really have three (paths) to sustainability that we use as guideposts,” Lister told the Now, “starting with an environmental viewpoint. Then, secondly, an economic viewpoint meaning that we have to be a business that’s sustainable to make the other ones matter. And the last one is really kind of a hybrid of community and sustainability, which means both being a good partner in ours and creating a good craft beer community that’s sustainable where people choose to participate in it for the long term.” On the environmental front, Turning Point wanted to generate some of its own power. The brewery boasts a single wind turbine at its Delta location, which sticks out amongst the other warehouses in the dense industrial area. The brewery uses the power generated from the wind turbine and sells it back to BC Hydro, offsetting the usage of its utilities. “It certainly doesn’t create enough power to run the whole facility but it certainly is a meaningful amount of offset,” Lister explained. The brewery’s general manager said that, for now, the turbine works mainly as a symbol of Turning Point’s commitment to finding and maintaining environmental practices. Lister says the brewery is world class in terms of its raw material usage, as well. “In other words, we’d use less to output a litre of beer, finished. It would take less input to get there. That’s a big difference for us and particularly in our community of other craft brewers around in Vancouver and even in the Pacific Northwest. We would be in sort of setting the bar in some degree in terms of investment in that side,” he said. Turning Point, one of 31 Metro Vancouver craft brewers and a member of the BC Craft Brewers Guild, isn’t the only eco-conscious brewery in Canada. As far as B.C.-based breweries go, Central City Brewers and Distillers are conscious of their energy output as well. The brewery’s new facility in North Surrey boasts some new machinery that helps the company to brew beer with minimal guilt. “All of our drains in the brewery all have to pass through a waste water treatment plant before it goes into the sanitary sewer,” said Gary Lohin, the brewery’s headmaster. “All of our fermentation tanks are CO2 recovery ready.” What that means, Lohin said, is when the production numbers reach upwards, they’ll be able to recapture the CO2 off the fermentation. Central City “hasn’t got there yet,” since there has to be a certain production

There’s no such thing as a fully 100 per cent sustainable brewery. You simply can’t in the nature of the consumption. It’s very much a symbol for what this business is designed to do, both to our employees and to our consumer community at large. It’s a symbol to the fact that it’s journey that we want to go on towards being as sustainable as we can be.

The company’s new brewery in North Surrey boasts machinery that helps it make beer with minimal guilt, in terms of waste water treatment. (File photo) volume before recovering CO2 becomes viable. “We also have, built into our brewhouse, a kettle and normally when you boil your beer it’s venting outside into the atmosphere. We’ve actually put a thermal recovery unit into our stack which means we can recapture 85 per cent of the thermal energy off of the steam and use it to reheat water up in the brewery. So that’s reducing our need for outside fuels to heat up our hot water.” The Toronto-based Steam Whistle Brewing boasts its environmental integrity, too. By committing to recycling, composting and ethical modes of transporting the beer from one place to another, Steam Whistle has put its hat in the ring as far as ethical beer consumption goes. The brew is packaged in its signature green bottles, composed of glass that’s

30 per cent more durable than regular brown or translucent glass. That means the same bottle can be recycled up to 45 times, three times as much as “the industry standard brown bottle.” The company also avoids using paper and ink for labels – instead painting the logo on the bottle – and commercially composts as well as only using biodiesel in its trucks. And, like Turning Point, Steam Whistle gives its “spent grain” as cattle feed to local farmers. “In our case, this brewery uses less of this, per litre, for output than most because it’s highly efficient in how it uses the raw materials to convert it into the starches and sugars it takes to make beer, that’s another thing that’s a sustainable element of that,” Lister said of Turning Point. “The other component is when you extract what you need out of these things,

you get what’s called ‘spent grains’ that we send to local farmers to feed cattle and to send it up to the wineries to offset the use of chemicals to fertilize crops so that’s a big investment.” Turning Point’s “spent grains” go to Delta’s Seabreeze Farm. While Turning Point and Steam Whistle are turning their investments and raw materials into recycling opportunities, the other “devil of the brewing industry” is beginning to rear its ugly, not-so-sustainable head. Since the popularity of craft brewing worldwide, crops of Pacific Northwest hops – a flower that gives beer its flavour and colour – are in high demand while dwindling in numbers, leaving brewers in the area with a shortage of the stuff. With microbreweries on the rise, brewers might find themselves either paying double for their materials or running out completely. Lister admits that sustainability in the industry is a goal, and can be hard to achieve completely. “There’s no such thing as a fully 100 per cent sustainable brewery. You simply can’t in the nature of the consumption,” he said, noting that his business’ wind turbine and energy-saving light fixtures, among other features, are merely baby steps to the bigger objective. “It’s very much a symbol for what this business is designed to do, both to our employees and to our consumer community at large. It’s a symbol to the fact that it’s journey that we want to go on towards being as sustainable as we can be.” According to the BC Craft Brewers Guild, there are 70 craft breweries that call British Columbia home, and another 17 expected to open up shop in the coming year. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com -with files from Business in Vancouver

Our view

No surprise in PMV’s coal decision With Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) finally rendering its decision about the proposed coal facility for Fraser Surrey Docks (FSD), was anyone really surprised? For some reason, it took them two years to come to a decision that pretty much everyone expected to go through and quite frankly, we wish they hadn’t wasted everyone’s time. From our perspective, PMV allowed this to drag on in an effort to appear as if they consulted and listened to the various communities and local governments that took issue with the project. Information sessions were held, visits were made to local government council meetings and feedback periods were opened up in order to allow citizens and municipalities a chance to voice their opinions on the proposed facility. And despite the vast majority of those voices either being in opposition or taking issue with the unknowns regarding human health and the facility, the project was still approved. For the cynics out there, the whole process was standard procedure. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin put it best by saying, “Port Metro Vancouver’s mandate is to make money and to create jobs and this does probably both. The fact that it disturbs our community greatly is not a concern of theirs necessarily, so I understand how these things work.” And that’s basically the gist of the situation. By taking more than two years to come to this decision, PMV can say that they’ve done an extensive review, consulted with communities, local governments and all the rest. By definition, consultation is the act of receiving feedback and by that merit, PMV certainly did engage in consultation. Nowhere does it say the feedback has to be acted upon. The only beneficial thing to come out of this process was a somewhat half-hearted response to the overwhelming concern by adding another spray process during the coal’s transportation. But without a thorough health-impact assessment declaring how the 640 annual coal train trips (which jumps to 1,280 trips in years two to five) could affect the people living nearby, that’s of little relief to those concerned.

Key ordeal in Delta reveals kindness from strangers The Editor, On July 30 at around noon, my husband took me for lunch before taking me out to catch a ferry out of Tsawwassen to Victoria. We went to Sushi Wara on 64th Avenue, at Sunshine Hills Shopping Centre in North Delta, and enjoyed a wonderful meal. After we finished our meals, we were walking to our car in the parking lot and had stopped to unlock the car with the fob. The keys were dropped and they landed on one of the bars in the middle of the storm sewer grate – but only for a moment! They then slipped off of the bar and down into the sewer. These were the only set of keys we had with us and had to get going to catch the 3 p.m. ferry. Some of the staff from the restaurant

came outside to see what was going on. Our server from lunch told us that she had called her friend who was going to bring down a magnet to try and retrieve our keys. The chef gave us some wire to try and hook the keys and then two people from Browns Social House (Leigh and Alex) came out to see if they could help. Alex went back and returned with a long-handled dustpan. He got down on his knees and started scooping out gobs of disgusting sludge while looking for our keys. After a few dips down into the darkness, he laid down on the pavement so he could reach a bit deeper into the bottom of the sewer. He had just started his shift and was dressed very nicely, but that didn’t deter him from giving us his

best effort. Leigh, the assistant manager at Browns, then returned with a Swiffer duster with the cloth end pulled off. She was also dressed very nicely in a beautiful navy dress and pumps – and she was on her knees trying as well. Soon enough, Alex and his dustpan scooped up our keys and saved the day – and we still had enough time to make our planned ferry! To receive such help and kind consideration from strangers is not very common these days, and all of these people demonstrated what it means to really help someone else. Thank you all once again for your kind consideration and assistance, and we will definitely be sending some business in their direction. Art & De’el Harvie, Surrey

Long-leash policy is now biting us MyView Pat Tracy Burnaby Now

omething changed in B.C. in 2001 – and it wasn’t just the government. When Gordon Campbell and his Liberals decided to make B.C. more business- and industry-friendly, they had a vision of less red tape, fewer regulations and less government oversight of environmental standards. The change in an entire model of how government should, or was, involved in environmental regulations and oversight was no minor thing – although downplayed by Liberals at the time. I remember an interview in my office with Campbell during one of the campaigns as he brushed off my questions about the changes. It was, he assured me, not necessary to have all the red tape from decades before because such strides had been made in protecting the environment. He also said that companies and businesses responded better to a “goal” model, instead of a punitive one. Joyce Murray, then minister of Water, Land and Air Protection – thankfully, this “rebranding” was later dropped and the Ministry of Environment was reinstated – agreed with the new model. The cynical journalist in me questioned exactly why industry would be quick to meet “expected” regulatory standards under this new long-leash formula. While Campbell argued that it was in industry’s

best interests to fully comply and be proactive, I wondered if he really believed what he was saying. Honestly, it’s all about money. And he of all people had to have known that. And what business or industry doesn’t push the limits in an effort to squeeze more profits out of its enterprise? And if an industry’s delay in meeting expected goals just draws a nasty letter from some bureaucrat – well, heck, that’s not going to cut into the shareholders’ dividends. Jump forward nearly a decade later and one can now see the impact of a lighter touch in environmental regulations and compliance. These kinder, gentler, less punitive environmental policies allowed the B.C. government to dump a lot of professionals who would have been doing regularly scheduled environmental Gordon Campbell and geotechnical appraisals. Biologists, engineers – who needs them when the industries can hire their own and give you reports? The policy may seem minor when one goes through the scads of changes wrought in environmental regulations during recent years. Mines in parks? No problem. Environmental assessments for natural gas producers in the province? Who needs them? Fish farms? It’s all good. Of course, compared to the Conservatives’ gutting of federal environmental

These kinder, gentler, less punitive environmental policies allowed the B.C. government to dump a lot of professionals who would have been doing regularly scheduled environmental and geotechnical appraisals.

regulations, the Liberals look almost left of centre. But it’s cold comfort for those who care about the environment. In the aftermath of the Mount Polley tailing pond disaster, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said “this is not an issue of having enough inspectors on the ground.” He could be right. At this point it could be about anything. But it is surely the provincial government’s responsibility. When you remodel a system to allow for the speeders to push the limits you are responsible for accidents that follow. The government is just darn lucky that there were no people in the path of the Polley washout. This could have been about more than murdering the environment. It could have been about manslaughter. Pat Tracy is the editor of the Burnaby Now, a sister publication of this newspaper.

The Editor, The BC Nurses’ Union is very disappointed to hear of last week’s decision by Port Metro Vancouver to approve the controversial $15-million coal loading facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. BCNU, which represents more than 40,000 licensed and regulated nurses across the province, has expressed serious concerns about the alarming public health risks associated with coal dust, and has supported requests by chief medical health officers in the Lower Mainland for a more in-depth assessment of the coal transfer facility along the Fraser River. We have also made clear our concerns regarding the impact a project of this size would have on our fragile, coastal environment. We are proud to stand with a number of health professionals, including doctors and many others, who are strongly opposed to the recent decision. The significant risks associated with the transportation of raw resources through densely populated regions are well documented. BCNU believes the health and wellbeing of thousands of citizens who are directly or indirectly impacted have not been fully considered in this decision. Christine Sorensen, vice-president, BC Nurses’ Union

More police officers are needed in Surrey The Editor, The RCMP are doing a great job policing Surrey, and our politicians are finally acknowledging that we desperately need more of them. In the last quarter, residential burglaries were up 191 per cent in South Surrey, and we know a small number of criminals commit most crimes. I propose that we put more serial offenders in prison. Yes, I know incarceration is an oldfashioned concept that modern politicians downplay, but if Surrey increases the strength of its detachment, they should assign additional members to the city’s force with orders to surveil and arrest more serial miscreants. A strong municipal leader could persuade the local criminal justice system to keep the worst of them behind bars for a while. After all, we wouldn’t want to see Coun. Hepner’s fantastical ferris wheel stolen by

a serial offender and sold as scrap metal, would we? Gary Cameron, Surrey

Burden should be shared equally The Editor, Re: “Where should problems go?” Now letters, Aug. 26. Garry Pederson, I think the people of Newton are asking for the communities of the city to shoulder the burden equally, instead of continually dumping the problems into Newton and not providing anywhere near the support required to that community. Why doesn’t the city simply publish the percentages of halfway houses, correctional services located in each of the city’s communities? Surely then we can see if Newton is being dealt with unfairly. Sounds like a simple enough solution, no? Think this will happen? I don’t. R. Laidlaw

rotten ro r otten stop throwing money out your windows

roses to the wonderful group of teenagers at bear Creek park on Friday, Aug. 15 doing “random acts of kindness” and having fun. Your happy and considerate attitudes are a great example for younger kids. Thank you for the ice cream. You made a little girl’s day and you gave me much hope for the next generation. A bus load of beautiful roses to The pacific Animal hospital in Surrey, and to Dr. Sania, Dr. Kassar, Kayla, Amanda and Ashley for their caring and professional manner in my time of grief. I had to put down my sweetheart “Roxy,” an Australian blue healer of 13 years. Dr. Kasser made sure that Roxy was fully sedated before continuing the process. This was very humane and made both of us comfortable. Seeing me in distress, everyone was very compassionate, and they sent a sympathy card, too. Thank you so much, and God bless. A life time of red roses for garrison (Abbotsford Works) who so kindly pulled over to the side of the road and assisted me in helping a gentleman who was in medical distress. I had been trying to flag down help, but no one was stopping. Because of your kind heart, the gentleman was taken care of by the paramedics. Andrew, I hope you are doing well. bunches of roses to White rock players’ Club, a group that produces some great comedies and musicals. I’m looking forward to the coming season of plays, which are always entertaining. I hope the current “distractions” in the press do not ruin the group’s longstanding good reputation. i’d like to send roses to drivers who allow other motorists in while stopped at a light. And to those who don’t, rotten tomatoes for you!

rotten tomatoes to the grannie in our trailer park. You should stop gossiping and care for your granddaughters that you always yell at. All summer we had to listen to you telling them to shut up loudly. You tell everyone how misbehaved they are. You do not like your daughter-in-law, so why punish these kids? Show some respect and stop bullying them. A truckload of rotten tomatoes to the lady driving a dark green honda who ran the red light going eastbound on 96th Avenue, in front of the Surrey Memorial Hospital main entrance. Thankfully, I was being extra careful crossing the street with my two kids that day and stopped mid-crosswalk to check for oncoming traffic, or it would have been a very tragic day for us all. Slow down!

rotten tomatoes to whoever put those annoying pop-up ads on your website. They suck! rotting tomatoes to those who waste water in the name of a charity donation. Donate because it’s the right thing to do – not because it’s trendy. Disappointed rotten tomatoes to the two businesses in Surrey caught shortchanging its customers. Business #1 charged $70.98 for a $7.98 CD. The very next day, $11.46 was rung up for a $1.46 cookie at a submarine joint. The proprietor claimed there was an error in the system. Very sad – very, very sad. This has been happening too much lately. If the shoe was on the other foot, I’m sure the outcome would be different. A judicial robe splattered with rotten tomatoes to the judge who gave a slap on the wrist to the Dell Lanes owner. The criminal justice system in this country is a joke.

Business association

Cloverdale met with ‘broken promises’ from city Chamber may unite with Vancouver Board of Trade

CLOVERDALE — It’s not every day you hear of a Surrey-based business group announcing its intention to partner with the Vancouver Board of Trade, instead of the Surrey Board of Trade (SBoT). But that’s what’s happened in Cloverdale. Cloverdale & District Chamber of Commerce (CDCC) president Brian Young, also COO of Surrey and Delta Golf Clubs, says the Vancouver group is the “quintessential business association in the Lower Mainland.” “They run the best programs, they do the best outreach, and what we found is that our voice is not well heard by the municipal government. We’ve seen projects in Cloverdale be left behind, projects left in disrepair,” he said. “We get promises from politicians but we don’t get action. So really what we had to do is find a way to unite with an organization that brings enough clout so that we can’t be ignored.” Young said CDCC looked at combining voices with the SBoT and the South Surrey White Rock chamber “with some success” but believes the VBoT will offer better benefits for its members. According to Young, the city has been “actively working against the businesses in Cloverdale” and says municipal governments are becoming “less and less transparent.” He says Cloverdale has been left behind. “There’s a $55-million pool in Grandview Heights and a whole scheme of projects which, to me, are absurd. Cloverdale has been promised things for years. Before the election, before Surrey First was voted in in 2006, they promised a trade and convention centre... a rec centre, and a pool and a rink,

and nothing has been done,” Young said. “We need to find partners and find other bodies that can help us advocate to allow our voice to be heard.” Cloverdale’s business groups made headlines earlier this summer after voicing their frustration with the stalled Cloverdale West Village redevelopment, a project the Surrey City Development Corporation is behind. The mall was torn down three years ago and the site was serviced last year but nothing had happened since. “Kids are playing on broken concrete and steel bars sticking out of it and they say they’re not negligent,” Young said. Michael Goldberg, chair of the SCDC’s board of directors, told The Province the holdup at the site was due to contamination from a dry-cleaning business that was in the old mall, and that the housing market in Cloverdale has also contributed to the delay. Young said the site was cleaned up a day after the media coverage, and is frustrated it took that long to get anything done. As well, he said the Cloverdale Community Association, the Cloverdale BIA and the CDCC are together advocating on six key issues: reducing crime, the Clover West Village, the fairgrounds, a swimming pool, four sheets of ice and transit. Young described the fairgrounds as “atrocious” and “in disrepair,” adding the Clover West Village is an “absolute eyesore.” “These issues are what we have been promised by the city and have not been delivered on,” he noted. So, over the last few months, the CDCC’s board of directors has explored the idea of formally engaging with the VBoT in efforts to unite the two groups. The idea will now be brought to CDCC members to get their feedback, and members will vote on whether to unite with the VBOT at the CDCC’s 2014 AGM in October.

Brian Young is president of Cloverdale & District Chamber of Commerce, which may partner with Vancouver Board of Trade. (Photo: RIC ERNST/PNG) Mike Bola, president of the Cloverdale Community Association, shares Young’s frustrations. “We’re working together because at the end of the day it’s all for the benefit of Cloverdale residents. We have been left out,” Bola said. Bola said there’s been an explosion of residential growth in Cloverdale, particularly the Clayton area, and infrastructure has not kept up with that growth. Like Young, he wants to see a pool, a new ice rink, a revitalization of the fairgrounds and more for the area. “We’re not going to take fake promises. We want to see it in writing,” he stressed. Surrey First’s mayoral candidate, and current acting mayor Coun. Linda Hepner, said she was surprised to hear CDCC was unhappy with the city’s work in Cloverdale. “We’ve invested a lot of time and attention in every one of our city centres,”

Hepner said. “I think on the whole we have done some significant investments in Cloverdale and will continue to do so.” Hepner, too, wants to see a redevelopment of the fairgrounds. She said the city has gone out twice with a public proposal and third parties have not come to the table. “From my perspective, and now I’m not talking as acting mayor, but as a mayoral candidate, I would like to get that moving forward and get those grounds developed. It’s an asset that I don’t want to see undervalued because the city has great opportunity for that in the future.” She said if the economic timing wasn’t right in the past, the city needs to find a way to make it more attractive. From Hepner’s perspective, the Cloverdale rec centre has been “enormously popular” even though it doesn’t have a pool. “So I would discount that that was not a needed facility. I understand that they would like more ice and we’re looking at… putting in that extra sheet of ice in the Fleetwood area. We were hoping that was also going to serve, free up some ice time for Cloverdale as well.” Hepner said pools in the works in Guildford and Grandview are not specific to communities, but to the whole city. “Some of those amenities wills serve the greater community of Surrey. I fully expect the pool at Guildford to serve the Central City area, to serve Fraser Heights, to serve Fleetwood, to serve Cloverdale, and the one in the south to serve Cloverdale and Grandview and South Surrey and Newton. In the same way the YMCA pool serves the broader community as well. “I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect that every community has every single same amenity. I think the city is better served with amenities that are available to everyone.”

Quirky ‘cosplay’ culture becomes the norm in Surrey Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — AniRevo, ComicCon, VCon — these are all events at which “cosplayers,” or costume players, can get decked out in costumes, wigs and outlandish attire, and become their favourite popculture characters for a day. That’s right, Superman outfits and face paint aren’t reserved just for Halloween anymore. And no one in Surrey knows that better than Rene Schindel. “They call them the ‘Cons,’” said Schindel, who owns and operates North Surrey’s The Costume Bank, a business that rents, sells and custom creates costumes for everything from steampunk conventions to outfitting

theatre productions. The retired high school sewing teacher opened up her shop in 2008 when she realized she’d amassed enough of her daughter’s dance costumes to clothe a small village of Halloween enthusiasts. The shop owner and custom costumer saw the niche opportunity to keep many of her costumes and stay working while she was at it. One of her many claims to fame is designing costumes for Monty Python’s Spamalot. “This is my ‘Don’t stay at home and rot’ (business),” she said earnestly. “I don’t do it for the money, I live on my pension.” Now Schindel rents and sells costumes out of her North Surrey shop, often dressing people year round for theme parties, events, plays and more. She’s

created everything from 300-pound Vikings to anime Lolitas to the entire line-up of ’70s rock band KISS. “I go from cavemen to 1920s flappers,” she said. Recent trends include a Great Gatsby themed wedding, in which the store-owner and seamstress is suiting up the parents of the bride. “I sell some things and I custom make some things. I will do alterations. I just did an alteration for Donatello,” she said of the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fame. Schindel also regularly does costumes for those into manga and anime. “I’ve done Tuxedo Mask. I do him often because he lives here,” she said. “I’m in the process of getting a Lolita finished so she can wear it on Saturday or Sunday.”

Rene Schindel at The Costume Bank. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) Teens who are involved in the Surrey Libraries’ anime club may be apt to drop by Shindel’s shop before the library’s second annual cosplay picnic happening today (Thursday, Aug. 28). The event’s co-odinator, Ellen Wu, kicked off the first Teen Cosplay Picnic last year at Holland Park as a summer wrap-up party

for the anime club, which has been meeting and operating out of the library since the fall of 2011. People aged 13 to 18 who aren’t currently part of the anime club are also welcome to join, however. “I think it’s a fun way for teens who are already in anime club to express their creativity,” Wu said. “I don’t know if there’s a need for cosplay, but we thought it would be a really great way to allow those teens in anime club to celebrate over the summer as well as bring in teens who might be into cosplay but haven’t heard of anime club.” Among free food and fun games, Wu said what she’s most looking forward to is the creativity of the teens who come to the picnic. “I’m always going to be surprised by the teens and what they come up with,”

Wu admitted. “I know that superheroes are very popular. A new version of Sailor Moon has come out in manga and anime.… Those are kind of perennial favourites.” The teen cosplay picnic is set to accommodate 40 to 60 teens when it they show up today (Aug. 28) at the new City Hall Plaza at 2 p.m. Wu said there will be snacks such as onigiri (Japanese rice balls), games such as suikawari – a Japanese traditional game where people split a watermelon open with a stick, blindfolded – and anime pictionary. “We’ll be handing out prizes for the best costumes, too,” she said. The event is free, and teens between the ages of 13 and 18 can register for the program at 604-598-7426.

distracted driving: leave your phone alone when you’re on the road As summer wraps up and we get back into our fall routines, our roads are busier and it’s easy to get distracted.

• It can wait. Let calls go to voicemail and ignore your text messages while driving.

You may find yourself tempted to multi-task while driving by talking, texting or emailing in traffic or at a stoplight, but when you’re distracted behind the wheel, your reaction time is significantly reduced and the consequences can be devastating.

• Assign a designated texter. Ask your passengers to make or receive calls and texts for you.

The reality is you’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone. When you’re distracted, you react slower – most rear-end crashes resulting in injuries are caused by distracted drivers. That’s why ICBC is asking drivers to leave their phones alone when they’re on the road. A 2012 Ipsos Reid survey, conducted on behalf of ICBC, showed that 97 per cent of B.C. drivers agree texting while driving is dangerous, yet 23 per cent admit doing it. Here are some tips to help you avoid distractions behind the wheel:

• If you can’t resist your phone while driving, turn it off and put it in the trunk of your car to avoid the temptation. • If you have to take a call, pull over if it’s safe to do so or use your phone in hands-free mode; stay focused on the road and keep the conversation brief. And remember you can only use a hands-free electronic device behind the wheel. Hands-free means a Bluetooth, wired headset or speakerphone. The device must be securely attached to the car – it can’t be in your lap or loose on the seat beside you. • When you’re walking or cycling, don’t assume drivers can see you. Remove your headphones and put away your mobile device so you can see, hear and respond safely to what’s going on around you.

Whether you’re driving the kids around, riding your bike or walking to work, we want you to reach your destination safely. We can all do our part to create a culture where people encourage each other to avoid distractions behind the wheel so that our roads are safer for everyone.

SURREY — Teachers in the province’s largest school district resumed limited picket lines Tuesday, a week prior to what’s supposed to be the start date of the 2014/2015 school year. But with the BCTF and government seemingly still at odds and time fast running out, Surrey Teachers Association (STA) President Jennifer Wadge said it’s unfortunately looking like district’s 5,000 teachers will merely be resuming their strike duties instead of their classroom duties after

For this week, teachers are only picketing at four secondary schools in Surrey, Princess Margaret, Johnston Heights, Lord Tweedsmuir and Earl Marriott. “Starting on Sept. 2, when school should have been getting started if we were going to get a deal, we’re going to be resuming the full pickets like we did in June,” said Wadge. According to Wadge, teachers are feeling both anxious and frustrated about the current situation and the state of where the negotiations are at. “Teachers are very anxious about when they can go back to work and especially for some of our newer teachers.

Teachers resume strike action at Surrey schools from government to get school back in September.” Over at the district, a notice is posted for parents saying it was “doing all it can to be prepared for the potential of school opening day on September 2.” The district is also accepting registration for all schools and is reminding parents to check the website for the latest information from the district. For now, all parents can do is hope that a deal is struck at the eleventh hour, and perhaps begin looking into some of the many day camp offerings popping up in lieu of school being put on hold. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — A Surrey online tutoring service quietly shut its doors late last year, leaving some parents wondering where to turn for help. Jason Chorney signed up with School Wizard Inc. last year for a tutoring software package for his two teenage daughters who were struggling in school. Chorney said he didn’t notice a difference in his daughters’ grades a year later and tried to take advantage of School Wizard’s one-year moneyback guarantee. He found the company’s phone number had been disconnected and no one was answering his emails. When he called the help line, he was told School Wizard had closed down. No one seemed to be able to tell him where to go for a refund. “I’m frustrated,” Chorney said. “I’d rather take that money and put it into something that will help my kids.” Chorney’s not the only person who’s

had issues with School Wizard over the past year. The Better Business Bureau has received 12 complaints. Two of those have been resolved, but 10 complaints remain outstanding because the BBB failed to get a response from the business. Clients have also filed three smallclaims cases in provincial court asking for refunds for different reasons. “We want to cancel this program because of the lack of help it gives my son and because of having a singlefamily income,” Lakshmi Perera wrote in her claim. “Our repeated attempts to contact members of School Wizard resulted with no response.” In another case, School Wizard was ordered to pay a Surrey couple more than $7,000 because no one from the business showed up at a mediation hearing. School Wizard’s office in Surrey has no signage, the blinds are closed and the door is locked. The phone line is not in service, but the website is still up and running. A Vancouver company has taken

over customer and support services for School Wizard, answering emails and taking calls on the toll-free help line. AcademyOne Learning, which is not affiliated with School Wizard but uses the same tutoring software, was asked to take care of School Wizard’s customers beginning last December, and despite reported issues a representative said the transition has been smooth. “School Wizard made arrangements to ensure that families will continue to get the same programs and services they have paid for,” said AcademyOne CEO Mark Neil. When asked why School Wizard’s customers hadn’t been informed of the office closing, Neil said there has been no disruption in service. Neil said School Wizard closed “for personal reasons” and is not bankrupt. Those seeking refunds under the one-year money-back guarantee can submit their requests to AcademyOne for assessment. “If there is a legitimate claim there they will get their money back,” Neil said.

CRESCENT BEACH CONCOURS Annual event

Classic cars parked for a special day Showcase this Saturday, Aug. 30 at Blackie Spit Park in South Surrey Tom Zillich

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

SOUTH SURREY — The 2014 edition of Crescent Beach Concours d’elegance will feature dozens of classic cars this Saturday, Aug. 30. The annual event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Blackie Spit Park. The scenic beachside venue will be filled with

dozens of vintage vehicles. The single-day gathering is a “competition of elegance,” with judging of dozens of invite-only vehicles in a number of classes. In 2011, the Pelling Insurance-sponsored event was moved to Crescent Beach after eight years as the Steamworks Concours, held on the streets of Vancouver’s Gastown district.

South Surrey’s Blackie Spit Park is again the site for high-end cars during the annual Crescent Beach Concours d’Elegance, set for Saturday, Aug. 30 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (File photo: GORD GOBLE) “Continuing in the spirit of the former Steamworks Concours, the 2014 event (marks) the 12th year that we have brought together a Labour Day long weekend gathering

of collector automobiles and motorcycles,” reads a post on the event website, Crescentbeachconcours. com. “From applications, the committee will select up to

80 outstanding entrants. This year, as in the past, entrants will come from all over the West Coast of Canada and the United States, and cover a broad span of makes and years

and included vehicles that are often rare and seldom seen by the public.” Proceeds from the 2013 event benefitted Alexandra Neighbourhood House at Crescent Beach.

‘Have a voice’: Volunteers needed by arts groups ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

ummer is ending, public schools may or may not be starting, the sunshine continues and

local arts organizations are looking for help (active bodies) in running their operations. These are all not-forprofit societies, so what they need is volunteers. You will never see any money in your pocket for your efforts. I could say that you will get recognition, accolades,

awards and admiration for your contribution. Gotta say, from my own personal experience, that doesn’t always happen either. So why volunteer in the first place? Because it’ll look good on your resume, you will be part of the fabulous arts community in our city, you can inspire policies on

the arts, implement changes (for the better), accumulate experience or use your accumulated experience and just generally make a difference. Of course, you will have to donate large chunks of time, pay membership fees and discover that your entire social life revolves

th Celebrate the Extraordinary at DARPAN'S 5 Annual Extraordinary Achievement Awards

pictetus, the great Greek Stoic philosopher once said "The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." For the past four years, DARPAN magazine has strived to achieve exactly that at the Extraordinary Achievement Awards. As a thriving and vibrant community in Canada, South Asians have grown profoundly in diverse fields and have showcased their broad sense of talent and skills. As the community continues to flourish, DAPRAN Magazine has taken the responsibility of not only honouring and celebrating its marvels, but also recognizing and promoting the efforts that the South Asian community has diligently been pouring in from several channels. In this significant year that marks our 5th anniversary for the Extraordinary Achievement Awards and 10 years for publishing the magazine itself, DARPAN endeavours to make the celebrations even more grand, extravagant and lavish. This is reflected in the change of venue from Royal King Palace to Aria Banquet Hall and Convention Centre. The spectacular red-carpet event recognized as the pre-eminent social, networking and philanthropic event-of-the-year will take place on Friday, September 19 and will include prominent social, political and business leaders in attendance. As seen previously, we will confer 10 individuals with Extraordinary Achievement Awards in ten categories ranging from Community Crusader and Breaking Barriers to Advancing Philanthropy and Young Wonder. There will be a stunning fashion show featuring the latest trends in South Asian fashion; an extended speech by a notable international personality that will also be bestowed with the 'International Sensation' award; and, a thrilling entertainment act. Overall, the night will be no less than a complete package of sentiments that include motivation, fashion and entertainment. "The constant growth and accomplishment of the South Asian community is a key mission for our magazine, and this is reflected in the regular ventures DARPAN takes on board to deliver versatile and engaging topics," says Ramneek Singh Dhillon, publisher at DARPAN Magazine. Last year, Dr. Narinder Kapany, American-based

physicist, who is credited with creating fibre optics leading to the invention of the Internet, graced the awards night with his presence as a Keynote Speaker. He was recognized with the International Sensation award for his incredible contribution in the world of technology. Upon receiving the award Dr. Kapany said, “This award is a matter of great satisfaction, not only to me but also to various colleagues of mine that have contributed to so much of our success.” The process of selecting such extraordinary individuals from the community is strictly based on nominations. A team at DARPAN closely scrutinizes each and every nomination that is received and after extensive discussion and research, the names for the award recipients are finalized. DARPAN’s mandate is to feature inspiring South Asian role models and achievers who have made significant accomplishments in their respective fields and to the societies in which they reside and who reflect their South Asian heritage in a remarkable way. "The South Asian community is growing leaps and bounds. DARPAN's Extraordinary Achievement Awards provide a platform for the community to integrate and bestow the difference makers with honour and recognition," says Gurvinder Singh Hundal, publisher at DARPAN Magazine. By featuring dynamic South Asian role models and extraordinary achievers who have made significant accomplishments in their respective fields and to the societies in which they reside, DARPAN magazine has become an integral part of the Canadian cultural landscape. Last year, the extraordinary event showcased a magnificent night with over 700 guests in attendance that represented the best of the South Asian community and the greater Canadian society. This community-based event has opened doors for potential opportunities amongst a crowd of meritorious and esteemed personalities and DARPAN Magazine appreciates the honour that has been reciprocated by its audience and readers over the past several years. This has further cemented our passion to render more. For now, DARPAN Magazine has its eye set on the upcoming 5th annual Extraordinary Achievement Awards and that is bound to be an even more impressive and lavish affair. See you there!

around your volunteer service to the arts. You will feel like the demands on your time and energy are more intense than looking after a newborn baby. You will often feel discouraged, defeated, depressed, stressed and ready to de-volunteer. It just gets better and better, doesn’t it? So, for all of you out there who have “been there, done that” and, more importantly, for all of you who have not yet participated with your life skills and blood, sweat and tears: I give you the opportunity to become involved. It really doesn’t hurt, and the bonus is that you will have a solid framework of friends who will always support you, even if you are not on their Facebook. Ellie Parento, acting president of Surrey Little Theatre, sends out an appeal for new board members. “Have a voice, be heard,” she says. Parento stepped in as president last year when the duly elected president moved to the Island. She has burned out a few computers (I think) and is a terrific volunteer. She got her brother, Tom Taylor, to stand as vice-president. In his turn, Taylor as a business consultant has tremendously assisted me in my business. This is my turn to say thanks to both of these people. I have been there, done that (many times) for various board of directors, so I have no problem using this space to thank others. FYI, I have been using this space to tell you about the arts since the very first issue of the Now. I don’t need accolades, just get out there and add to volunteers in the arts. But I digress. Parento says “Surrey Little Theatre has been putting on quality community theatre for over 50 years. As a community, we come forward and volunteer our time, sweat and tears to give the absolute best we have.” Now it can be your turn. She is asking for nominations for the board

of directors for Surrey Little Theatre. Think about it. The AGM is on Wednesday, Sept. 10, with a potluck at 6 p.m. and general meeting called for 7:30. Visit Surrey Little Theatre’s website for more info, at Surreylittletheatre.com. Meanwhile, the Young People’s Opera Society of B.C. will be holding its AGM on Sunday, Sept. 14 at Newton Cultural Centre, 13530 72nd Ave., from 1 to 4 p.m. I know, no one likes attending meetings – even when they come with food and entertainment. But YPOS can certainly use your unused energy and time. This is a young organization, and you can help shape the future. Again, think about it. If you have performed with the society, maybe take a peek in at the AGM. It won’t hurt. Honest. For people who would like to be involved, but don’t really think they are suitable for a board position, here are some other opportunities: Surrey Youth Theatre Company is presenting the play, The Giver, this October. The immediate need is for a male actor to play the title role. This is a one-act play, and you must be available for rehearsals. Age range from 15 to 70. Contact the company by email, sytco@ shaw.ca. Crikey, out of space again. One last item: The Community Theatre Coalition has only one event each year, its annual awards night. Throughout the season, reps attend every play presented by member groups. They vote for their favorites. Result: awards presented at this gala night. Food and entertainment. This is a great time to connect and network with other community theatre groups. Great food, catered. It’s on Sept. 6 at Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock. Cash bar opens at 6:30 p.m., appetizers at 6:45 and entertainment and awards at 8. Tickets are available at 604-536-7535 and at Whiterockplayers.ca. melminty@telus.net

B.C.-wide teachers’ strike cast serious doubt over their plans. If the strike slogged on through the summer, students and instructors alike could kiss off both their venue and many of the instruments they’d relied upon in 2013. Kids crossing picket lines? No way. For months, Roper, society president Don Phillimore and the rest of the gang agonized over the next step. “By the end of July, it was evident we’d have to cancel,” Roper said. And that’s when a Surrey church stepped in to save the day. For a donation, Guildford’s Legacy: A Church of the Nazarene would host the camp for a full week inside its rather expansive, two-level place of worship. The jazz group jumped at the chance, knowing it would need to fund not only the church donation but also the rental of a number of instruments along the way. Music store Long & McQuade helped out, as did private money and the ongoing 50/50 draws at the Crescent Beach Legion shows. And so, on Monday, Aug. 11, White Rock Traditional Jazz Society summer camp came alive once again. Named “Jazz from the Start,” it featured no less than 42 students

and a variety of seasoned musicians/ instructors, including Keith Honeywell and Gary Raddysh. At the camp’s final night five days later, students and instructors alike joined forces for a six-band jazz extravaganza that showcased not only newfound skills, but the obvious camaraderie that had grown between participants. Each solo was met with applause, each set ended with full-on ovations. It was a joyous evening. The fruits of dedication? Absolutely. But for the very definition of dedication, one need look no further than camp instructors, Jennifer Hodge and Bonnie Northgraves, both noted pro musicians. Seems both were gigging until midnite in Seattle the night before camp began. They drove back to Surrey immediately after the show, pitched tents on the church lawn at 3 a.m. and hoped to grab a little shuteye before the doors officially opened. Alas, the church’s automatic sprinkler system had other ideas, activating a few minutes later and soaking everything – and everyone – in the vicinity. Yet at 9 a.m., Hodge and Northgraves, now somewhat drier yet still a bit groggy, were ready to go, ready to help eager kids learn jazz. Dedication? Yep, that’s dedication.

SALUTE TO LABOUR Labour Day message

Union aims for ‘a whole new set of victories’ The following is a message from Stephanie Smith, president of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU). Smith was elected president of the union by delegates at its tri-annual convention in May 2014. She is the first woman elected president of the BCGEU.

his spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead B.C.’s most diverse union. The more than 67,000 women and men of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities. From childcare to child protection; preventative health care to palliative care; social work to corrections; and so much more – what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians. As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only protect the vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change. BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can

make progressive new policies that B.C. needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality. That’s why this Labour Day – my first as BCGEU president – as we celebrate the hard-fought gains the union movement has made for B.C. and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality, including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly, embarrassing. Our young people have the distinction of being the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before. But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province. The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on. Just think of the exciting things we could

Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all worked together to ensure that everyone, in all regions of the provinces… had access to a job where they were paid a living wage and treated with respect.

Stephanie Smith is the first woman elected president of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU). do if we all worked together to ensure that everyone, in all regions of the provinces – regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status – had access to a job where they were

paid a living wage and treated with respect. This is what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians: strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care for one another. When we all band together to demand that vital services be publicly available to everyone – not just those who can afford them – we’ll have a whole new set of victories to celebrate each year at the end of August.

SALUTE TO LABOUR Labour Day history

Parade in New York launched a movement The prime minister was well aware of workers’ discontent with the law, and on the steps of the city hall, he promised marchers that his party would ‘sweep away all such barbarous laws from the statue books.’ John A. Macdonald, literally picked up the PM and took him to Ottawa city hall by torchlight. The prime minister was well aware of workers’ discontent with the law, and on the steps of the city hall, he promised marchers that his party would “sweep away all such barbarous laws from the statue books.”

According to many history books, Labour Day began in the United States when the Knights of Labor organized a parade on Sept. 5, 1882 in New York City. As is often the case, the history books got one thing right and another wrong. The Knights did hold a parade in 1882, but the history of Labour Day began 10 years earlier, and in a place much closer to home. On April 15, 1872, when Canada was just five years old, the Toronto Trades Assembly organized a “workingman’s demonstration” to call for the freedom of 24 imprisoned leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union. The demonstration, which was attended by 10,000 people, included a parade and speeches that called for the repeal of a law criminalizing membership in trade unions. Buoyed by the success of the demonstration, members of seven Ottawa trade unions organized a mile-long parade on Sept. 3, 1872, once again to protest laws that made union membership illegal. But this wasn’t your average parade; marchers stopped at the home of then-prime minister

SALUTE TO LABOUR Canada enacted Labour Day law in 1894 â&#x20AC;š from page 33

Later that year, Mr. Macdonald and his party made good on his promise, and for the next decade, trade unions continued to hold annual parades and demonstrations. On July 22, 1882 in Toronto, New Yorker Peter J. McGuire, the general secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, spoke at the demonstration. He was duly impressed with the event and, when he returned home,

he proposed that America celebrate a day in honour of workers. Sure enough, the Americans celebrated their first unofficial Labour Day on Sept. 5, 1882. Over the next decade, individual states enacted legislation making the first Monday in September Labour Day. In the summer of 1894, the Canadian Parliament enacted a similar law, and now the first Monday in September is celebrated as Labour Day throughout North America.

The ultimate sport is played with a disc Summer is here and it’s time to get out and enjoy this special time of the year. In this series, the Now offers you some unique sporting ways to experience summer without leaving town. Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @kbbenning

SURREY — One of the most common toys you can find at a park or beach in the summer is a Frisbee. Slinging a disc around is an activity that is synonymous with sunshine. Ultimate Frisbee has quickly flown its way into the public eye with tournaments played on a regular basis, including a high school provincial championship. The Surrey Ultimate League has been around since 2006 and started with four teams. Today, the league has tripled that number. Supreet Malhi is in charge of community growth and development for the league, and he says the number of people participating in the sport has skyrocketed. There are around 250 people who just play in the summer league, he said, but many more who come out and play at the drop-in recreational practices as well. Unlike other team sports, Malhi said that ultimate puts much more emphasis on teamwork and less so on the vicious side of sports. He also said the game is run on a player’s spirit for the game. “The atmosphere is what really draws a lot of people in and keeps people in. That’s how I kind of got into ultimate,” Malhi said. “Because of the spirit of the game, a lot of people who get involved in ultimate are immediately a part of the community because there is no real animosity,” he said. “The competitive edge is there, but it’s not the same as other sports. You’re playing because you love the sport.” Ultimate is a game that can be called a non-contact version of rugby with the

Because of the spirit of the game, a lot of people who get involved in ultimate are immediately a part of the community because there is no real animosity. The competitive edge is there, but it’s not the same as other sports. You’re playing because you love the sport.

Giants stick around Sungod

General manager Jeff King gathers with staff to give thanks that at least it’s a HOT and DRY day so far…

Co-workers Champa Xayasomphou and Ray Lui join Jeff in the danger zone below the buckets of iced water in the capable hands of Jennifer and Carol – Somehow knowing that it is coming doesn’t make it any better…

Lucky escapes for Champa and Ray, not so lucky for Jeff who rather unexpectedly received his second soaking of the afternoon - How quickly things can turn COLD and WET!

Rookie prospects with the Vancouver Giants hit the ice at Sungod Arena in North Delta last weekend. The WHL hockey club will host a pre-season tournament at the rink on Sept. 6 and 7, with four games involving the Giants, Victoria Royals, Kamloops Blazers and Kelowna Rockets. See Vancouvergiants.com for the schedule. (Photo: GORD GOBLE)

So far the Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon has raised millions of dollars world wide as well as generating huge awareness for ALS. Often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

Ultimate: Surrey league looks to expand next year ‹ from page 41

exceptions of running with the disc and the ability to passing it forwards and backwards. Teams of seven players play against each other in an attempt to get the disc to the opponent’s end zone. Players who possess the Frisbee may not run, but their teammates can to get open for a pass. The offensive team loses possession of the disc if they drop the Frisbee, it gets knocked down or caught by an opposing player or if a catch is made out of bounds. If the offensive team makes it to the other side of the field and into their opponent’s end zone, they are awarded a point. The game is played on a soccer pitch that is cut in half vertically, so approximately on a 100x35-metre field. Surrey Ultimate League is the only official league in Surrey. There is one covering Metro Vancouver, that has been around since 1986 and has over 400 teams, but games and practices take place in Vancouver. The summer league season generally runs from Mother’s Day to Labour Day, but drop-in practices are available every Sunday from February to December. The Surrey league is hoping to expand by another four teams for next season. Surrey Ultimate (Surreyultimate.ca) is a non-profit organization that is completely run by volunteers.

GETTING STARTED THE GEAR

There are very few pieces of equipment needed to play ultimate. Eight cones to set the end zones and a Frisbee are all that is needed. Malhi also recommends wearing a pair of cleats.

WHERE TO PLAY

Currently, the Surrey Ultimate League holds their drop-in practices at Martha Currie Elementary (5811 184th St., Surrey) on Sundays. It costs a toonie to play. “There are a lot of experienced, talented players that are more than happy to teach the sport,” Malhi said about the drop-ins.

Diesel

This is an ideal Trans-Canada warrior, built to haul up the mountain passes BY BRENDAN McALEER

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

If there’s one way forward for General Motors out of the whole recall-related public relations debacle, it’s decent product. Forget trying to fix corporate culture, forget management restructuring, forget accountability audits and road-maps to synergy. Instead, simply build the cars that people want to buy, and build them well. To that end, while it’s fun to see the Camaro Z/28 scorch around the Nürburgring, or prepare to watch the upcoming Corvette Z06 kick the absolute bejesus out of supercars costing thrice as much, it’s far more important that Chevrolet’s passenger cars are solid and strong-selling. In the Canadian market, that means the small car segment. Since its introduction in 2008, the Cruze has done well, winning over Canadian families with big car space in a smallcar package. For 2014, Chevrolet has introduced a unique drivetrain into their global car – a 2.0L diesel engine. We haven’t seen diesel in a GM passenger car in decades, and the last time we did it wasn’t exactly a good thing. So, does the Cruze Diesel have enough torque to get traction in the market?

Design:

Conservative nearly to a fault, the Cruze has a design that’s aged well, unlike some of its flashier stablemates. While the front fascia is dominated by a large, bowtiebranded grille, it’s not shouty at all. Diesel-equipped Cruzes come in a single trim, very wellequipped, which means you get standard 17” alloys and a bit of brightwork around the windows. In a darker colour, as with this week’s tester, the most striking thing is just how big the small car has got. The Cruze is now essentially the same dimensions as the old Impala. There’s a slight flavour of Impala to the rear taillights as well, but if you find some of the other small car options in the market a bit on the outlandish side, the Cruze should fit nicely in your driveway. It’s the equivalent of a nice dark grey pair of trousers that go with everything.

Inside, the Cruze is less trousers than it is cargo shorts. Despite being classified as a compact, there’s a surprising amount of room inside, both in front and out back. Taller drivers will like the depth to which you can lower the seat, and even with it set to fit a larger driver up front, rear seat passengers still have plenty of room. I’m of two minds about the dash treatment, which incorporates a swathe of mesh-look fabric to complement the black and silver motif. On one hand, it looks rather nice. On the other hand, I have some reservations about how well it’ll hold up to use, particularly when kids are involved. But other than that, the Cruze has a nicely laid-out cabin that’s roomy, with decent sightlines. Being a higher-end model, everything in the diesel model that you expect to be covered in leather is, and the trunk is plenty huge. If you were looking for a machine with which to cross huge tracts of land, this’d appear to be the right sort of beast of burden.

Performance:

The single splash of colour on the rear of this week’s Cruze was a small green badge with a 2.0 symbol on it. That means that under the hood of this conservative-looking little sedan is its party-piece: a 2.0L turbodiesel engine cranking out 151 hp at 4000rpm and 264lb/ft of torque at 2000rpm. That’s considerably more pep and grunt than you get with the next-most powerful engine on offer, a 1.4L gasolinefuelled turbo four-cylinder. This is mated to a six-speed automatic, the only transmission on offer. If you’re expecting a barn-burner, this isn’t that sort of car. While the Cruze Diesel puts out figures that pip everything else on offer, the transmission and the throttle response are most definitely programmed for clean-running economy. However, mine the torque a bit, and the sprightly chassis responds well. This is an ideal Trans-Canada warrior, built to haul up the mountain passes and then cruise on through the flat sections er no pun intended. There’s

even a brief overboost function if you need to get around a semi-trailer, or up a particularly steep section, with torque rising to 280lb/ft. Where the Cruze offers its best performance is in fuel economy. Not unlike VW’s TDI range of engines, the only competitor in this entry segment, the diesel Cruze is one of the few vehicles that hits its official fuel economy ratings in real-world driving, even under the highly optimistic 2014 2-cycle testing. Observed highway mileage dipped below the 5L/100kms mark, where the Cruze really excels. Shorter commutes don’t work as well with diesels, but for long distance travel, this car excels.

Features:

Very well equipped from standard, the Cruze can be optioned with a host of features to make long distance travel that much more enjoyable. Chevy’s MyLink navigation system, based around a 7” touchscreen, is easy to use, and connects easily to your smartphone. A nine-speaker, 250-Watt Pioneer audio system is optional, as is a power moonroof, and backup sensors – but the rearview camera is standard. The enhanced safety package contains a suite of driver’s aids that can be found across almost the entirety of the Chevy range, including blind spot alert and cross-traffic alert. Official fuel economy ratings under the old system are 8.7L/100kms in the city and 5.1L/100kms on the highway, under the new 5-cycle testing. In the real world, the Cruze can best these figures.

Green Light:

Excellent fuel economy; roomy cabin; easy to use infotainment

Stop Sign:

Exterior getting a little dated; transmission and throttle slightly sluggish; only available in higher trim

Jeanette and Rob sized up their chances of sinking the challenging long range putt laid out on Willowbrook Chrysler’s car lot. Being drawn from the recent entries at the dealership afforded them both two chances to walk away $10,000 richer. Although both had second attempts that were just inches wide unfortunately the cash prize was not destined to be claimed that day.

Mayor Watts to receive honorary degree SURREY — Mayor Dianne Watts will be receiving an honourary degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The announcement was made last week by KPU President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Alan Davis, who will be presenting Watts with the degree this fall. According to Davis, Watts was a natural choice for the honour, which was unanimously agreed upon as it made its way

through the various levels of approval at the university. “We’re always thinking about our region and the key people who have influenced our institution and the community,” said Davis. Watts will be presented with the degree in October, the month before the municipal election will determine her successor as mayor of Surrey.
