New ER opens today SURREY — With the new emergency and pediatric departments set to open at Surrey Memorial Hospital today, Fraser Health is reminding people that access to the sites will be quite different from before. The new departments are now be located on the west side of the hospital on the first floor of the new critical care tower. As such, access to the emergency entrance is no longer from 96th Avenue but rather, King George Boulevard and 94A Avenue. Once patients are dropped off at the emergency entrance, those wishing to park can now do so at a brand new underground parkade located beneath the critical care tower. Addition parking will also be available across 96th Avenue on 137th Street. All of the above changes go into effect today (Tuesday) and will be the standard from now on. Christopher Poon

Marathon was ‘quite a party’ VIEW MORE PHOTOS Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

Rika Hatachi, 45, not only won the women’s race, she set a new course record.

CITY CENTRE — Nearly 2,000 people hit the streets of Surrey on Sunday to take part in the Surrey International World Music Marathon.

Organizers pulled an overnighter Saturday to watch the weather, said event organizer John Donnelly. “We paid a big price with the weather this year. We had to watch what was unfolding hour by hour overnight,” he said. See also SPORTS › page 19

The main stage was moved indoors, and some acts, such as a Sitar player and belly dancers, were moved inside because the weather threatened the classic wooden instruments.

Donnelly said he’s thankful to SFU and Central City mall for helping out. Event chair Elizabeth Model, who ran the half marathon, said it was “quite a party out there,” adding the road closures seemed to work well. “With a marathon or running event or cycling, there’s always going to be inconvenience for traffic,” Model said. “Once people understand the implications of a marathon and road closures, then they get used to it.” areid@thenownewspaper.com

Surrey school district superintendent to retire

Former planner pleads guilty

Dr. Jordan Tinney will replace Mike McKay at the helm SURREY — School district superintendent and CEO Mike McKay has announced he will be retiring at the end of the year. McKay, who took on the role in August 2005, will be replaced in 2014 by the district’s current deputy superintendent, Dr. Jordan Tinney. In a release, McKay said he discussed his retirement with the board earlier this summer and decided this fall would be a good time for the transition. “Some key initiatives and changes have completed and the district has an excellent leadership team in place, and there is great positive momentum,” he said. “I look forward to devoting more time to my family and continuing to serve with organizations promoting education in B.C. and beyond.” McKay will not be leaving the education sector entirely, as he’s set to continue his roles with Cowichan Valley school district and the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative. During his time as Surrey superintendent, McKay oversaw a variety of district initiatives, including the opening of the District Education Centre, which centralized the district’s staff, saving around $1.4 million a year in efficiencies and reducing the district’s carbon footprint across the board. Student success rates also rose

great connections he has made in our complex, diverse and growing community.” Prior to his arrival in Surrey, Tinney served as the Vancouver school district’s deputy superintendent as well as the superintendent for the Comox Valley school district. “I am very excited about continuing to support Surrey in a new role,” said Tinney. “Surrey is a quickly growing, innovative and creative district with great staff and connected partners, and I look forward to the road ahead together.” The Now

SURREY — A former Surrey city planner has pleaded guilty to breach of trust in connection with allegations that he took bribes from developers and lied to the city. Akonyu Geoffrey Akolo entered the plea Thursday in provincial court in Surrey. Akolo was also charged with municipal corruption, lying to deceive the city, fraudulent concealment and accepting a bribe – charges that will likely be stayed after sentencing scheduled for Nov. 28. The breach of trust concerned an application filed by Jack Saran for a townhouse development called Keystone in South Surrey. As a planner, Akolo was responsible for collecting fees owed by developers whose applications were assigned to him and reporting to the city whether an applicant had paid the required fees and fulfilled the preconditions. Saran, who owns Forge Properties Inc., alleges Akolo approached him to pay a bribe of tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for saving Saran money on development fees. “I was shocked. I did hear some stories before I didn’t believe, but when this happened to me it was quite a shock,” Saran said outside court Thursday. Not knowing how to respond, Saran said he asked Akolo for some time to think – then he went to the city and police. Akolo was fired by the city in February 2010 and in April of that year the City of Surrey filed a lawsuit against him, later adding unnamed developers and an unnamed female who allegedly helped Akolo with his transactions. The suit alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, conversion and misappropriation of funds, fraud and deceit.

Correction A photo caption in Thursday’s paper incorrectly identified that a man’s body was found in a South Surrey parking lot the morning of Sept. 23, when it was in fact found Sept. 25. We apologize for the error.

Surrey Six murder trials

Victim’s mom braces for ‘difficult’ year

Download the free Layar App

INTERACTIVE PRINT SURREY — “It’s the first towards putting Chris to rest.” That’s what Eileen Mohan, mother of Surrey Six murder victim Chris Mohan, said heading into court Monday morning to hear the opening arguments at the Surrey Six multiple murder trial in Vancouver. There will be three sets of trials, with the second expected to begin next June. Three of the accused – Matthew Johnston, Cory Haevisher and Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le – are being

presently tried for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. “It’s been a long time coming,” she said. “Five years and 11 months.” “It’s going to be difficult,” she said of the coming week. The trial that started Monday is expected to last up to a year. Her son Chris, 22, was one of six men shot dead in gang violence in a penthouse suite on the 15th floor of Whalley’s Balmoral Tower on Oct. 19, 2007. He, and Abbotsford gasfitter Ed Shellenberg, 55, were innocent

victims who paid with their lives after accidentally stumbling upon a drug hit. Chris lived in the suite next door with his mom, who wasn’t home at the time. Edward Sousakhone Narong, 22, Ryan Bartolomeo, 19, and brothers Michael Justin Lal, 26, and Corey Jason Michael Lal, 21, were also slain. Eileen Mohan has been saving up her vacations for the past five years, so she can attend the trials. “I’ve been saving it for this day.” Tom Zytaruk

Surrey Urban Mission nearly done renovating Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

Jonquil Hallgate, executive director of Surrey Urban Mission, shows off the mission’s new space, located near 108th Avenue and King George Boulevard in Whalley. It has about 7,000 square feet of space. (Photo: AMY REID) the new space and about $330,000 on renovations. The mission moved into its new location in mid-June and construction has been going on ever since. And there was a lot to do, said Hallgate, including putting up walls, redoing flooring and a lot more. “It was a box when we got here,” she said, adding that the finishing touches are just being finalized. There are many perks in the new space, including a bright waiting area, a shower that will be particularly useful during

extreme weather season, a meeting room, a computer area, a wellness centre and more. Out back is a small garden and just steps away, the mission, it has gained access to a community garden for guests to putter in. And a commercial kitchen is going to be installed soon. Having a home means the mission can offer more programming, Hallgate said, such as ballet, painting and drawing classes for children on Saturday mornings, and a women’s group. Hallgate said while some neighbours weren’t thrilled to have the mission nearby,

WHALLEY — The Surrey Urban Mission is almost finished renovating its new digs in Whalley. For years, the mission shared a building with Christ the King Lutheran Ministry and Emmanuel Lutheran Church, but now, in its 13th year, it has a place to call its own. Formerly located at 13388 104th Ave., the mission’s new home is at 10776 King George Blvd. in a storefront that has previously housed a Union Gospel Thrift Store and Whalley Bowling Lanes. Executive director Jonquil Hallgate said she feels blessed to see the mission get to this point. “It was always such a struggle. We were always sort of on tenterhooks. Even though I always believed the mission would carry on in some way or another, having a place to call home provides some sustainability.” The mission’s future was uncertain for several months, when it struggled to find a place to be after learning its shared home was going to be sold. It has spent more than $1 million on the new location – $980,000 to purchase

overall, the community has been accepting. Some local businesses have stepped up to help, she said. Di Reggae Café approached her about teaching a Jamaican cooking class and Whalley Printers has been donating paper, which is used in a children’s art class. And she said the mission is working hard to be a good neighbour itself. The mission has told guests not to loiter out front, especially before meal times. Hallgate said the location has worked out great. “It’s a great place to be. It’s in the heart of the city and it’s close to transportation.” An increase in guests shows that the mission’s location is close to many who need it, she added. The number of guests attending meal service has gone up 30 to 35 per cent since relocating. The mission will be showing off its finished space on Oct. 25 during its annual Soup de Jours event, from 5 to 9 p.m. Food will be served at the free event, and to raise a few bucks the mission will be accepting donations and hold a silent and live auction. Hallgate emphasized that people do not need to donate to attend. “We don’t charge for anything here,” she said.

Sentencing decision for Szendrei killer set for Oct. 18 SURREY — The young man who murdered North Delta teen Laura Szendrei will find out on Oct. 18 if he will be sentenced as a youth or as an adult. The killer, whose identity is shielded by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was just shy of his 18th birthday when he murdered 15-year-old Szendrei in September 2010.

Surrey rock band on mend a month after van crash SEE VIDEO OF TOMMY ALTO’S “AUTUMN LEAVES”

Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

SURREY — Members of local rock band Tommy Alto continue to recover from a violent van crash that happened a month ago – and they promise to play music together again one day, even if it takes many months for them all to heal well enough. The early-morning accident near Hope on Aug. 26 came at the end of a summer tour for the band, which had performed in Coleman, Alta., the evening before. Their vehicle went off the road and crashed into a boulder during their all-night drive. Bassist Paul Engels, a recent high school grad and the band member most seriously injured in the crash, remains in hospital with head trauma and other injuries. His progress is documented daily in a

“Praying for Paul Engels” Facebook page, which is followed by close to 1,900 people. “Paul is continuing to communicate a lot,” his family posted Saturday, Sept. 28. “He read his get-well cards. He wrote his name. We convinced him that he is in a hospital and not a prisoner on a pirate ship. Some good laughs today together!” Earlier last week, Paul’s dad, John, wrote that his son was communicating with a couple of hand signals. “He signaled for me to turn up the music tonight,” John wrote last Tuesday, Sept. 24. “Yesterday, he chose his music over me playing guitar. I guess I better practice more,” he wrote, adding a “smiley face” to the post. Bandleader Tom Vander Kam said he and the others are very optimistic about Engels’ recovery. “If he’s come this far in only a month, there’s lots of hope,” Vander Kam said. “He attempts to vocalize stuff but can’t yet, but he’s getting there. We know he’s in there, he’s just trapped in his body.” The band’s drummer, Chartwell Kerr, also seriously injured in the crash, is now recovering at home in Vancouver. “He’s still in pretty rough shape,”

Paul Engels, bass player in the local band Tommy Alto, remains in hospital with head injuries following a van crash on Aug. 26. (File photo: TOM ZILLICH) Vander Kam said. “He won’t walk or drum again for maybe six to eight months, but he’s definitely staying optimistic about

everything, very positive.” Vander Kam is also on the mend from less serious injuries to his abdomen and hip areas, along with a deep gash to his shin. He performed live for the first time since the crash on Sept. 21 at Surrey’s Youth Fest; he was slated to do so again Saturday (Sept. 28) during the Rock the Town Festival in White Rock, but heavy rain forced the cancellation of his solo set that afternoon. “I’m slowly easing back into playing live again, and (Youth Fest) was something to let everyone know that we’re not dead,” he said. “We’re still here and will continue to make music.… Right now, all I can do are acoustic gigs where I don’t move around too much (on stage), because of the pain.” As for the future of Tommy Alto, Vander Kam said he and the other band members have plans to release an EP of new music next spring and then tour again. “We want to do an all-ages reunion show next May or June, just to celebrate our good health and also make it a tour kickoff,” Vander Kam said. “We’re not going to let this (accident) stop us. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger at this point.” tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

Business report

Discord is harming economy InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

ritish Columbia has long been known as a polarized province, where public debate and discourse is characterized by everyone seemingly having opposite views on many things. But a new study by two major business groups suggests that continued approach will spell disaster for the provincial economy, and that the two solitudes had better start listening to each other if we want the province to prosper. The report, entitled “The B.C. Agenda for Shared Prosperity,” was completed after a year of study by the Business Council of B.C. and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. It contains 60 recommendations on how to improve the economy, but its central theme is that groups that are normally locked in combat have to start working together.

Another key point the report’s authors make is that the disconnect that exists between many people who live in the Lower Mainland and their counterparts in the Interior and the North when it comes to economic issues has to be addressed. Greg D’Avignon, the CEO of the Business Council of B.C., says too many people who live in heavily urbanized areas like the Lower Mainland fail to realize just how much the size of their paycheque depends on economic activity elsewhere in the province. And much of that economic activity is in the natural resource sector. Yet, as is typical of the polarized debate in B.C., that sector has become increasingly vilified by those who are dead set against many of the projects that are (or are planned to be) part of that activity. Projects such as the Northern Gateway pipeline, the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the Prosperity Mine, the Jumbo Glacier proposal, LNG plants and any number of other projects

are potentially lucrative for the province’s economy, yet are vehemently opposed by many who are more concerned about any potential impact on the environment. Many of us are rightly concerned about our reliance on fossil fuels and the effects of climate change, but simply putting an immediate full-stop on all economic projects that perpetuate some of those problems is a recipe for economic disaster in B.C. Incomes for many have already stalled and the province’s productivity is lower than the national average. Putting blinkers on and pretending that we don’t need mining or energy projects displays a complete ignorance of how our provincial economy

functions, and is a good way to shrink the size of your paycheque. If we take the “BANANA” approach (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone), the price of all those lattes at Starbucks may begin to be beyond the reach of so many of those who take the view natural resources should stay in the ground, and not be sold. The answer, of course, is the proverbial middle ground. It’s not always attainable in this province, but as the business community’s report makes clear, it is vital that we strive to achieve it. The alternative is by no means attractive. Now, let’s all get along, shall we? ] The controversy over Premier Christy Clark’s “sudden” announcement

at the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities that a bridge would soon replace the aging George Massey Tunnel isn’t surprising, given the passions that surround transportation decisions in the Lower Mainland. Critics, who include a number of local mayors, say there are other, more pressing transportation needs that should be addressed ahead of replacing the tunnel. However, they are missing the point that this project is in many respects a classic example of blacktop politics. For example, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson wants a rapid transit line out to UBC. But the election result has likely knocked that project far down the priority list as far as the provincial

government is concerned. The city of Vancouver has, for the most part, turned its back on the B.C. Liberals. Of the city’s 11 ridings, seven are held by the NDP. As I’ve noted here before, much of the B.C. Liberals’ political strength in terms of the voting population in the Lower Mainland lies south of the Fraser River. So it’s not a particular surprise to see a big project like the Massey Bridge suddenly get the green light from a government that knows where its base lies (and everyone evidently “forgot” that Clark made her original announcement about replacing the tunnel at last year’s UBCM).

Come down hard on suite owners The Editor, Re: “Council OKs fines for lying homeowners,” the Now, Sept. 26. What a refreshing attitude – making dishonest homeowners in Surrey accountable. I agree with city council. Fine them. They know what they are doing. I hope the $1,000 fines will be levied in full with no mitigating circumstances. These people who lie are guilty of perjury in the grand court of the greater community and deserve to be punished. The fee pales into insignificance to the amount of rent they are collecting every year. The city should also report these homeowners to Canada Revenue Agency for taxes they are not paying. Ivan Scott, Surrey

We should only pay for what we need The Editor, Re: “Waste not, pay not?” the Now, Sept. 17. Extraction of fees from people who don’t want to use a service is called extortion. It is absolutely irrational to pay for services that you can’t use or don’t want to use. For example, if you use only 100 cellphone minutes in a month why should you be billed for 2,000 minutes? If you only generate five kilograms of garbage why should you be paying for 20 kilograms? I don’t see any rational reason to pay for more garbage than you produce. The flat fee for garbage collection is a very crude and inflexible solution. Why not pay a different fee, depending on the size of garbage bin you own? That way, you can choose how much garbage collection you really need, thus, encouraging better recycling behaviour. Contrary to popular belief, most people are not going to put their

garbage in their neighbour’s bin, because neighbours aren’t stupid and will eventually catch the people who do so and simply call the police. (Similarly, most people do not steal their neighbour’s gas or electricity) If an irrational law exists it should be challenged and changed, not followed blindly. It is our civic duty as Canadians to help change laws to make life easier and less expensive for us – the citizens. The last thing we need is to make the city hall bureaucracy happy. We need to make the people happy. We can do this by replacing coercion with choice. In this case, each person can choose what size of bin they need to pay for. Simple. This perfectly valid logic leads to other perfectly valid questions: Why should you subsidize TransLink if you don’t use (or don’t like) its service? How come you have to pay for schooling of children other than your own? Think about how much money you pay and what you personally get in return. If it’s a sour deal, then challenge it. Don’t just sit there and complain. Jennifer Holloway is heroically challenging the bureaucracy to improve her life and as a result improve all our lives by making garbage collection more efficient. That is morally and practically the right thing to do.

We all know our town is bursting with exceptional artistic talent and, more obviously, that this is the key to making businesses in the community thrive. If people flock to our town for art, they also spend money in its restaurants and shops. I’m particularly interested in the International Artist Day Festival at the end of October. Our very own local artist, Chris MacClure, started a holiday years back – Oct. 25 – as a day to thank artists for their contribution to society. The holiday has been celebrated in countries all over the world and for the first time, White Rock will be celebrating too. That night, the IAD is hosting a gala event at the White Rock Community Centre. I originally thought the ticket price of $150 was a bit steep, but then I realized the price is only $50 – the ticket includes a $100 voucher for me to go shopping with. I can have my pick from more than 100 local and international artists works that will be on display. And the best part, the artists will be there to talk to me about it. Let’s hope the community comes together in support of making this town come alive during these months, businesses and residents alike. I, for one, will be buying some art on Oct. 25 to do my part! What will you do?

Do something about it. Scotiabank and United Way are working together to prevent child poverty.

Janet Neumann, White Rock

David Simonov, North Delta

White Rock doesn’t Arts in White Rock want more U.S. coal worth supporting The Editor, The Editor, Finally, the city is putting efforts into making White Rock an arts town worth seeking out. I’m delighted to see all the arts activities planned for the autumn months. And, I have to say, I was shocked that the city has hired a fulltime cultural arts liaison.

Children are poor in this city.

As residents who live near the BNSF rail line, we are very concerned with the prospect of having more cheap U.S. coal moving through our community. This Warren Buffet/Jim Pattison partnership is affecting our health, our peace and our property values as well as promoting and assisting pollution in Asia. Charles Fast, White Rock

BRIDGEVIEW — Whether you want to dress up as the Queen of England for Halloween this year, or a cross-dressing cheerleader, Rene Schindel can help. The retired high school teacher runs The Costume Bank, which houses thousands of costumes available for rent. The business, located in the Bridgeview area of Surrey, was launched five years ago by Schindel, who taught sewing for decades. Schindel said her enterprise got started by default. “I’ve been doing drama and sewing since I was 14. Then I raised a competitive dancer,” she said with a chuckle. She began sewing her daughter’s outfits to save cash, which led to becoming

a costume mistress for her dance studio. When it came time for the studio to part with her creations, Schindel kept two-thirds of the bounty. She found a warehouse, and the business was born. She’s had “gallons” of costumes donated, including designer evening gowns from the 1960s and ’70s, and mink fur coats. She’s also bought from secondhand stores, and makes a lot from scratch. Her originals include Elmo, Mario, the Big Bad Wolf and the whole KISS foursome – probably her favourite. “I built it for an aftergrad party. It was for four teachers. They played the whole party until 4 a.m. in the costumes – the kids didn’t even know who was playing for them. It was very cool,” she said. She buys some costumes new, but she’ll then work her magic to make them better, by adding zippers or other alterations. She’s excited about getting her hands on a Slimer mask to go with her Ghostbusters collection. “I’ve got all the

Ghostbusters costumes, including a sexy one and the (Stay Puft) Marshmallow Man,” she said. Schindel estimated she has between 6,000 and 8,000 costumes – but those include about 15,000 “pieces,” because not

everyone wants the full shebang, she explained. “They might want the gogo boots, they might want the wig or they might want to be Austin Powers, but don’t like the pants. Every costume doesn’t come in a package.”

She does a lot of work for schools, private parties, murder mysteries and theatrical productions, but her busiest two days of the year are on the weekend before Halloween. She encourages folks to check her online inventory and

call to reserve costumes, because the popular ones go fast. “We’ve already got Austin Powers rented,” she said. Schindel said the “popup” Halloween stores hurt her business, but she prides herself in offering highquality products – and often it’s cheaper to rent than buy. “Who really needs a saloon girl outfit?” she asked. “Why spend $90 at a pop-up store when you can spend $45 and rent it here?” Ironically, after spending her life creating costumes for everyone else, Schindel doesn’t like to play dress-up herself. “I’m a behind-thescenes person,” she said. “I’ve always been in the background, and I like it that way.” Check out a portion of her selection online at www. thecostumebank.com or call 604-583-4037.

20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - 20 REASONS TO LIKE US! Fall exhibit

‘Wind Work, Wind Play’ on view at Surrey Museum SURREY — Wind-powered folk art has blown into Surrey Museum for the autumn months. “Wind Work, Wind Play” features weathervanes and whirligigs from the collection of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Showcased are more than 30 pieces of functional and decorative folk art of the 1870s to the 1970s.

Weathervanes have been part of the Canadian landscape for centuries, perched atop many barn roofs, church steeples and homes. Whirligigs, on the other hand, are wind-driven lawn ornaments created purely to amuse and entertain. The exhibit continues until Dec. 21 at the museum, at 17710 56A Ave.

This early 20th-century whirligig from Ontario is part of a new “Wind Work, Wind Play” exhibit at Surrey Museum.

Enviro-rock concert puts salmon in the spotlight The song we wrote has been a real spark for people who don’t know about the volcano and this massive salmon run we had here a few years ago.

SEE VIDEO OF “40 MILLION SALMON CAN’T BE WRONG” Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

WHITE ROCK — A multimedia event this Saturday night will weave together songs, stories, visual art and science in an effort to help B.C.’s wild salmon. The musical stage show, dubbed “40 Million Salmon Can’t Be Wrong,” keys on a song of the same title performed by The Wilds, a band led by Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright. The pair recently moved to the South Surrey area with their Artist Response Team (ART) organization, producers of the Oct. 5 event at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock. “This is the first time we have

Kevin Wright (second from left) and Holly Arntzen are leaders of The Wilds band, in concert Saturday, Oct. 5 at Blue Frog Studios as part of a “40 Million Salmon Can’t Be Wrong” multimedia event. produced this show,” Arntzen told the Now. “The song we wrote has been a real spark for people who don’t know about the volcano and this massive salmon run we had here a few years ago.” ART’s show was inspired by

the phenomenon of the 2010 run of 40 million sockeye salmon on the Fraser River. Scientists say the return was a result of the Kasatochi volcano eruption in the Aleutian Islands in 2008. The plankton bloomed, and ocean life exploded, Arntzen said.

“Our show is intended to bring this incredible event into current conversation. Those salmon are the best scientists, and they have a story to tell.… Those salmon brought a message: restore ocean pastures and the fish will come back.”

Saturday’s event in White Rock will be recorded for wider distribution by ART, which also plans to bring the show on tour. In addition to The Wilds band, the event will feature artist and storyteller Roy Henry Vickers and “science communicator” Russ George. Tickets are $35 via www. bluefrogstudios.ca. Show time is 8 p.m. at the venue, located at 1328 Johnston Rd., White Rock. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

COMMUNITY Anniversary celebrations

Delta Library looks to past and future in 30th year Carolyn Cooke Now staff Twitter @carolyncooke1

NORTH DELTA — All three library branches in Delta are marking their 30th anniversary with a full slate of events, activities and celebrations. The theme is “Celebrating Delta Libraries, 2013: Honouring our Past, Imagining our Future.” As Delta Libraries manager Gillian McLeod said, this “is not your granddaddy’s library.” The kickoff event at George Mackie Library Saturday featured a 3D printer demonstration to show how printers can now make three-dimensional objects. McLeod noted libraries have ebooks and other new technology to keep current with the times. “We certainly have a variety of e-options for reading and research and all through the month we’ll be talking about those options and why we think the book is going to hang around too,” she said. Delta Reads – the library’s big annual reading project – got underway on the weekend, too, she said. “For teens what we’re doing is a book trailer contest so it’s like a cellphone film

George Mackie Library in North Delta kicked off its 30th anniversary activities with a 3D printer demonstration on Saturday. All three locations will have events, activities and more planned throughout October, including Delta Reads programs for all ages. fest kind of thing,” said McLeod. “That links into our Delta Reads project, which is the huge project for October. So Delta Reads is everybody in Delta reading the same book at the same time.” There are three titles, one for children, one for teens and the third for adults, so the whole family can be involved and meet

others in their age categories with whom to discuss the chosen book. For adults, the title is The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe, for teens, it’s The Fault in our Stars by John Green and “the children’s book is a wonderful book written by a local author, Maggie de Vries, called Fraser Bear: A Cub’s Life.”

People can pick up a copy of the Delta Reads book starting Saturday and then can meet late in October for the discussion groups. Other book-related events include the Read and Release program and an altered book workshop. For the Read and Release project, there are stickers on the front of the chosen books, each with a number so people can track the book’s journey, as well as another inside with info on what to do next. “There’s actually a sticker explaining how they go onto this website called bookcrossing.com and you can look up your book. The books will all have numbers in them and you can make notes there, saying, you know, ‘picked this up at the Rose and Crown in Tsawwassen and I’m dropping it off at The Landing in Ladner and really hated the book, whatever they want to put on the web.” The altered book workshop is set for Oct. 19 and is in conjunction with the Delta Arts Council. People will be making poetry, art items or wall hangings from old books. For a full schedule of events and more information, see www.fvrl.bc.ca. ccooke@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY — The second annual Surrey International World Music Marathon turned into a family reunion at the finish line. Tatsuya and Rika Hatachi brought a burst of emotional warmth on a soggy Sunday morning when the Coquitlam couple swept the gold medals for the men’s and women’s marathon races. “It’s just incredible,” Tatsuya Hatachi, 46, said after watching his wife cross the finish line. “I knew she had been running well so I thought she might have a good chance to win the race. I still can’t believe we both won. I’ve never won a marathon before so I am very happy.” Rika Hatachi, 45, not only won the women’s race, she also set a new course record for the event, completing the event in two hours, 59 minutes and 41 seconds. Her winning time was almost as exciting for her as actually winning the race. “It was great; I felt so good all the way through,” she said. “This is my first sub-three (hour) time and that has been my goal for a long time. To reach my goal, it’s just so wonderful and to be a race record is even more exciting.” Just a dozen minutes earlier, Tatsuya Hatachi had surprised himself by winning the men’s race in a clocking of 2:47:18, a full 12 minutes faster than runner-up David Parizeau of Vancouver. “The pace was really good and the temperature was cool so it was great conditions for running,” Tatsuya Hatachi said. Rika Hatachi was not the only runner to set a new course standard Sunday as both the men’s and women’s half-marathon winners saw their names entered in the record books.

In the women’s half-marathon, Sidney’s Lucy Smith blazed through the course in a time of 1:20:32 to win by more than four minutes over New Westminster’s Suzanne Evans. A former national team member, Smith said she found a group of men running at a comfortable pace and stayed with them for more than half the race before picking up speed for the final 10 kilometres. “It was a little windy at times, but really, the conditions were fine,” she said. “There were a lot of people on the course but it wasn’t crowded. I really liked the trail portion of the course. I’m an old cross-country runner so when the course went from road to trail, I loved it. I thought, ‘Great, I can do this for another five kilometres.’” Abbotsford’s David Jackson also rewrote the record book, completing the men’s halfmarathon in 1:11:14. Drew Nicholson of Surrey — the winner of last year’s full marathon, was second in a clocking of 1:14:55. The rain and wind forced many marathon entrants to drop down to the half-marathon distance, which contributed to the fast times in the shorter event. The intermittent heavy rains and accompanying winds did keep the temperatures cool, but the weather also deterred residents from gathering to cheer the runners on. Jackson said the musical format of the race, with 30 stages scattered along the route, kept the runners’ spirits up. “It’s a long distance so it’s good see all the different bands out there and the different types of music,” he said. “It makes the race a little more interesting. Sometimes there are not a lot of people out there cheering you on so its nice to see the different bands every half a kilometre.”

The Surrey Eagles and Vernon Vipers took turns posting road wins against each other in B.C. Hockey League action last weekend. The Vipers crashed the defending champion Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; banner raising ceremony Friday night with a 4-1 win at the Birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense. Surrey returned the favour the following night, scoring three times in the final frame to pull out a 7-4 win in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played well in the first game, but unfortunately, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the back of the net,â&#x20AC;? said Surrey coach Peter Schaefer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then in Vernon we got down early, but the guys battled back. Two points on the road is huge, but obviously we have to work on winning games at home.â&#x20AC;?

ROUND 2

The Eagles celebrated their successful 2012-13 campaign by hoisting five championship banners to the roof of South Surrey Arena Friday night. The Vipers were unimpressed, scoring once in each of the first two periods to build a 2-0 lead. Brett Mulcahy cut the gap to 2-1 in the third only to have Vernon seal the win with a pair of late goals. The two teams were at it again Saturday in Vernon where the host Vipers grabbed a quick 2-0 lead in the first six minutes of play and then watched as Surrey roared back with three goals of their own before the end of the opening frame. After swapping goals in the second period, Vernon tied the score at 4-4

1:25 into the third period. Surrey answered quickly, regaining the lead at the midway point and then salting the game away with a pair of emptynetters in the dying moments of play. Ryan Fraser-Lee led the Birds from the blue line with two goals and a pair of helpers. Jonah Renouf and Nicolas Pierog also scored twice for Surrey with a solo marker coming from the stick of Mitchell Fyffe. The Eagles return to action Friday (Oct. 4) when they host Langley at 7 p.m. Surrey travels to Langley for a return date Saturday before closing out the weekend back at South Surrey Arena Sunday against Coquitlam (4 p.m. start).

NEWS George Massey Tunnel

Mostly positive reaction to tunnel replacement plan transportation engineers planning this tunnel expansion are the experts on the topic. “Given all the information that they have at their fingertips, and that the media and the public do not have, (this) certainly puts the planning advantage in their court and the Delta Chamber of Commerce applauds their effort,” he said. Fraser Surrey Docks last week also said it’s pleased the tunnel will be replaced, noting the existing structure, which services more than 80,000 vehicles a day, has an estimated 10 to 15 years of life remaining before major components will need to be replaced. “The construction of a new bridge will greatly improve the overall transportation flow of the region,” said Jeff Scott, president and CEO of Fraser Surrey Docks. “It will also enable economic opportunities for Fraser Surrey Docks and other nearby business operators.” Replacement of the tunnel with a bridge will allow for further dredging of the Fraser River to accommodate larger vessels. Dredging of the river has been taking place since the late 1890s and additional dredging would better accommodate today’s modern vessels, according to Surrey Fraser Docks.

Sandor Gyarmati Delta Optimist

DELTA — Delta’s business community is pleased a new bridge will be constructed over the south arm of the Fraser River. Responding to Premier Christy Clark’s announcement that a bridge will replace the George Massey Tunnel on the existing Highway 99 corridor, Delta Chamber of Commerce chair Orv Nickel said a bridge appears to provide the greatest advantages of all the crossing options. “The population of the Lower Mainland requires expanded transportation systems for cars, trucks and public transportation systems,” said Nickel. “This new proposed project will be a welcome addition to what currently exists and adds to future plans as the traffic needs demand. “Any one of the five options would have been an improvement over the crowded tunnel situation currently in place, but the

of the Fraser, and Delta in particular, will be transformed into an industrial port to serve a larger vision: making B.C. one of the world’s most significant carbon-transfer points. Among the points to consider, he noted, “Dramatic new highways and bridges, notably the South Fraser Perimeter Road, spearing into the heart of Delta’s farmlands, stimulating development and speculation. Tsawwassen Mills shopping centre is becoming a reality, and there are options on agricultural lands west of Highway 17, anticipating warehousing and intermodal port uses.” He also stated, “The ALR is up for review. So if land in Delta was ‘freed’ up, the Massey Bridge might serve the same function the original Port Mann did for Surrey in the ’60s: extending the suburbs.” On another front, some mayors are balking at the bridge announcement, asking why the government has foregone a referendum for the plan. At Delta council last week, Mayor Lois Jackson responded to the critics, saying “it’s our turn” as far as improvements for Delta. Construction of the new bridge is scheduled to begin in 2017.

New bridge welcomed, but MLA says tunnel could still stay in use

Saying there’s no doubt a new crossing is needed, Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington echoed concerns by Doug Massey, son of the late George Massey, that the existing tunnel will be scrapped. Huntington said it can still be an important transportation link. “It doesn’t have to be replaced and the government knows this. It’s awkward for the government to maintain, but it’s got 50 years of life left in it. “It was built for a 100-year purpose, and when you need transportation infrastructure as badly as this region does, why would you get rid of one unless you’re servicing the port (of Metro Vancouver)?” she asked. “If the port wants it gone that badly that it can convince the province to build a three- or four- or five-billion-dollar bridge, then the port better start paying for it,” Huntington said. The independent MLA said a second round of consultation was supposed to have occurred on the preferred options, but instead one was picked long ago. Gordon Price, director of the City Program at SFU, believes the future of the region is now in play. In his latest blog, Price asked if south

Sentencing decision for Szendrei killer set for Oct. 18 SURREY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The young man who murdered North Delta teen Laura Szendrei will find out on Oct. 18 if he will be sentenced as a youth or as an adult. The killer, whose identity is shielded by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was just shy of his 18th birthday when he murdered 15year-old Szendrei in September 2010. The court heard he struck her over the head at least three times with a metal pipe as she struggled to escape from him along a path in North Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mackie Park. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentenced as an adult the young man, now 21, will be sentenced to life in prison without eligibility to apply for

parole for seven years. If sentenced as a youth, he faces a seven-year sentence, with a maximum four of those years to be served in prison and the remainder in the community, under supervision. Justice Robin Baird will deliver his decision in Surrey provincial court, where on Sept. 18 the young man apologized to Szendreiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ruined the lives of so many people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I robbed the community of its sense of safety. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m truly, truly sorry.â&#x20AC;? Originally charged with first-degree murder, he pleaded guilty to second-degree.

Seems silly, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let hearing loss control your life. The solution is simple get a hearing screening!

Vision and hearing - we rely on them both constantly. They let us interact conďŹ dently with family, friends and colleagues. Everyone get their eyes checked. Why take your hearing for granted?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you lose your eyesight, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with peopleâ&#x20AC;? - Helen Keller

Thanks to groundbreaking advances in technology, most hearing problems can now be easily treated.
