Szendrei family ‘happier’ as killer gets life VIEW SZENDREI STORY: IN PHOTOS Tom Zytaruk Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — The young man who murdered North Delta teenager Laura Szendrei in September 2010 has been

Laura Szendrei’s mom, Rachael, gives a thumbs up following the sentencing of her daughter’s killer as an adult on Friday in a Surrey courtroom. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility to apply for parole for seven years.

The clock started ticking on his sentence

the day he was arrested in February 2011.

The 21-year-old man hung his head low while cheers and sobs filled the packed

courtroom in Surrey Friday.

“We’re happier,” Rachael Szendrei, Laura’s mom, said as she left the courthouse. “It’s unfortunate my daughter got sacrificed, but it’s a good thing that the justice system came through for us, and that everybody in Delta will be a lot safer.”

“I miss Laura so much,” she said.

Over the past few months lawyers have been arguing whether the killer, who was just shy of his 18th birthday when he murdered the 15-year-old girl, should be sentenced as an adult or a youth. If he were sentenced as a youth, he would have received a maximum seven years under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, with four of those years to be served in prison and the remainder in the community, under supervision. see SZENDREI KILLER › page 9

A toast to $35M brewery’s ‘wow factor’ Bridgeview facility open for tastings and tours – and if you thought seeing one brewery is seeing them all, think again VIEW VIDEO, PHOTOS

Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

BRIDGEVIEW — The brand spanking new Central City Brewers + Distillers’ facility is now open to the public, offering up tastings of its many craft beers in a tapping room, as well as providing tours of the brewery and selling merchandise.

Located in Bridgeview, the shiny 65,000square-foot building houses millions of dollars of equipment to make the company’s many award-winning craft beers – and even spirits, now.

The tapping room offers beer tastings and draught beer sold in “growlers,” which are two-litre “grab and go” containers. The site also sells packaged beer.

From Central City’s signature Red Racer IPA, to a full lineup of ales and lagers, and seasonal pours such as the current pumpkin ale, there are many types of beer to sample, or take home.

Just a step in the front door, Seraph, a large winged man made of metal, greets those who enter. Seraph is going to be on the company’s vodka and gin labels, once they finalize those products.

“It’s definitely the wow factor,” Tim Barnes, Central City’s VP of marketing and sales, said of the art piece.

And the wow factor continues throughout the $35-million facility. Whether it’s the floor-to-ceiling wall of glass and cedar siding on the east side of the brewery, or the rows of silver fermentation tanks, or the large door built into the ceiling of the plant to allow for more tanks to be dropped down by crane, it’s an impressive operation.

For the last decade, beer was brewed at the rear of the company’s pub located at Central City Shopping Centre. The company was maxed out at that facility for years, Barnes said.

The new site dwarfs the old operation – the cooler alone is larger than the old brewery. But it’s not just the size that’s meant to impress. As part of its research, the company toured many U.S. craft breweries and wineries to see what worked and what didn’t.

Central City president and founder Darryll Frost, brewmaster Gary Lohin, and marketing and sales vice-president Tim Barnes rejoice with a couple pints at the company’s new brewery in Bridgeview. See more photos using your Layar app. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) “We said, ‘How do we create an experience that’s better than what’s out there?’ And that’s really what we’re here for,” Barnes said.

“We want to have a merchandise store that could be a stand-alone retail store on its own, we want a tap room where people can feel comfortable and enjoy a great pint, but in an atmosphere that feels a lot nicer but also welcoming. We tried to make it warm as well as premium-looking.”

Barnes said he sees the operation becoming a tourism draw.

“We believe that B.C. craft breweries in general could be more of a tourist destination. And this could be one of the best to see,” he said.

The company’s beer has won plenty of international, national and local awards, including the Best Local BrewPub and Best BC BrewPub awards from CAMRA this year; the company also earned gold in the Canadian Brewing Awards 2013 for its Red Racer Extra Special Bitter, Imperial IPA and Bourbon Barrel Imperial Porter beers.

While the brand has taken off, Barnes said the company isn’t as big as it wants to be. The new plant is the engine it needs to deliver once sales increase, he said.

“It’s our platform,” he said. “It’s like we’re on the diving board and we’ve got that bounce going.”

Barnes said Surrey has been good to the company, and has been an amazing partner in the project.

The company partnered with the Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) to

construct the building on city-owned land.

Central City Brewing is currently a tenant in the building.

To initiate the relationship, the company’s founder and president Darryll Frost invited Mayor Dianne Watts to the old brewery to share his vision.

“She was a step ahead of me the whole way,” Frost said. “She moved quickly to have the city interact with us to get the information required to justify building this building.”

He said Jim Cox, president of SCDC, and Watts should get a lot of the credit for the project.

“Without those two people, it certainly wouldn’t be what it is today and it may not have got off the ground.”

Both the company and the city has benefited from the partnership, Frost said.

“The city has gained an amenity, I don’t think there’s any question about that. It’s a magnificent project... As you exit the city (toward New Westminster), it’s the last building you see as you come down the hill. I think that bodes well for Bridgeview and I think it bodes well for the city both as an amenity, as a new tax base, as a new employer, so there are many reasons why the city benefits,” Frost said.

The facility, located at 11411 Bridgeview Dr., is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., for tastings and sales. Tours are scheduled at 1, 3 and 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, by reservation. areid@thenownewspaper.com With files from Tom Zillich

New SFU course will use Central City’s old brewery SURREY — Simon Fraser University will soon have a new course on tap. And yes, it has everything to do with beer. The course, called the Science of Brewing, is set to launch next January.

Classes will be held at SFU’s Surrey campus, and also at Central City Brewers + Distillers former facility behind the brewpub and its recently opened headquarters in Bridgeview.

The credit course will explore the chemistry, biology and microbiology involved in the brewing process.

Claire Cupples, Dean of Science for SFU, said the pilot course is “transformative” in many ways.

“Not only does it involve a close partnership with industry – in this case, Central City Brewers + Distillers – but students will also ‘learn science by doing science’,” she said.

Biological Science 372 is one of the inaugural products of the $2-million INSPIRE initiative that Cupples launched last year to stimulate change in the way science is taught at SFU. Amy Reid

Neither Sims nor Grewal recorded travel expenses for dependents.

Sims spent the most on her own travel – $101,668.45 – followed by Grewal ($64,702.62), Hiebert ($62,431.11) and Sandhu ($61,043.03).

Under the “Designated Traveller” category – which refers to someone other than the MPs’ employees or another MP – neither Sandhu nor Sims recorded any expenses. In this category Hiebert spent $13,761.53 and Grewal, $32,710.05 – more than half of what she expensed for her own travel.

The Now tried to contact Grewal to find out who her “designated traveller” was, and where that person went, but the MP didn’t return phone calls.

WHITE ROCK — Thieves were apparently feeling a little hungry and a little dirty in White Rock during the month of September. In one incident, somebody apparently broke into a vehicle to steal a bag of granola and a bottle of Purell disinfectant.

The incident was one of 16 vehicle thefts reported in September as part of the RCMP’s monthly crime report. Other items stolen from vehicles include wallets, purses, electronics and Nexus cards and police are reminding people to leave nothing of value in vehicles.

Other cases of crime in the city by the sea include the theft of tools from construction sites, graffiti sprayed at an elementary school and seven incidents of break and enters.

According to police, most of the break and enters occurred in the afternoon and items targeted were electronics, jewelry and passports.

As a reminder, police are warning people to ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked at all times.

How women welders will work wonders InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

A

young female friend of our family approached me the other day and said she has decided to drop out of university and pursue something else.

“I’m thinking of becoming a welder. What do you think?” she asked me.

I congratulated her on her choice, and told her it was very likely she would have a well-paying career a lot quicker than most of her university-bound friends and that it would last a very long time.

I was reminded of that encounter upon hearing the news that the B.C. Construction Association is once again heading to Ireland to find about 600 qualified trades people to fill positions in this province.

Not only is this a return trip to Ireland, but it follows a similar expedition to California last year.

I’ve written about our looming skills shortage before, but there are few signs the problem is being addressed in any significant way. And time is of the essence. The raw demographical change that

is starting to ripple through society at an accelerating pace is having an impact that literally grows by the day.

For example, as more and more baby boomers ease into retirement (albeit at a later year than in the past), the vacancies in all kinds of trained occupations start to mushroom. The peak of the boomer generation will retire in about 10 years, and that is when we may be in a genuine crisis if action is not taken now.

How do these demographic changes play out in the workplace?

Well, those who retire are oftentimes the people who are in management or in senior supervisory positions. On construction projects, that translates into a lot of foremen and project managers leaving, without adequately trained (and experienced) hands to replace them.

Adding to the urgency of solving this problem (“crisis” would not be an overstatement) is the fact that a number of major industrial projects are set to come online in the foreseeable future.

Pipelines, LNG plants, several new mines, wind farms, plus the regular ongoing construction projects – all will require in total tens of thousands of

new, properly trained trades workers.

One government estimate concludes that over the next 10 to 15 years, more than 150,000 vacancies in the trades will need to be filled. Premier Christy Clark has engaged with the unionized B.C. Building Trades Council to tap into what she calls their “trap line” of skilled workers in the United States to help fill those jobs.

But we need workers from B.C. as well. And this brings us to our education system and whether it is doing enough to close this skills gap.

Both Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have dropped broad hints some big changes may be

coming, in both the K-12 and post-secondary sides of the education equation.

Perhaps students will be offered more choices, or encouragement, at an earlier age to consider getting a trade as their career.

If it becomes clear to young people that the way to a well-paying job is through a trade and not a vaguely defined university degree, perhaps there will be a much bigger take-up of a trades vocation.

Any changes in the postsecondary system regarding making trades more of a priority are trickier and potentially more controversial.

Universities and colleges rightly value their academic freedom and independence.

However, the days of a provincial government handing over millions of dollars to a post-secondary institution with no strings attached may be drawing to a close.

I’ve heard the premier say she doesn’t see the point of universities simply churning out more, to pick just one example, teachers when there is a surplus of teachers. This may translate into her government increasing funding for trades training programs by taking funding away from other post-secondary programs, which will likely be met with howls of outrage from the academic community.

While traditionally academic degrees such as

arts degrees remain valuable (the so-called “credentials inflation” means some kind of degree is required even for jobs not needing one a decade ago) we need more young people like my family friend who are willing to step outside the box.

Szendrei killer merciless, ‘unaffected’ VIEW VIDEO FROM OUTSIDE COURT

Teen busted for punching bus driver

‹ from page 1

Justice Robin Baird noted the killer “was on the very threshold of adulthood” when he committed his “ruinously violent” offence, “only days short of the arbitrary line.”

A publication ban on the killer’s name will remain in effect until at least late January when Baird will hear arguments concerning its merits.

The young man hung his head and women in the gallery cried as Baird described the girl’s “cruel death.”

It had been a warm, sunny day, shortly before 1:30 p.m., when Szendrei received a text message to join some of her friends at Mackie Park.

Meanwhile, the killer was hiding in the wooded park, laying in wait to rape the first woman he saw.

Baird noted he and Szendrei were “total strangers.”

“He had no particular victim in mind,” Baird said. “He planned to rape the first woman who came along.”

The young man lured the girl, calling out to her that his bicycle chain had come off and that he needed her help.

As she was helping him, he tried to force some zap straps over her head. She screamed, and he hit her over the head with a metal pipe. She ran, and he hit her again, and then again.

“He tracked her down mercilessly,” Baird said.

“The violence was intentional and extreme.”

When people heard the ruckus and rushed in to see what was going on, the killer pretended to be a bystander and suggested that everyone split up to seek help. He then went back to the scene of the crime, retrieved his metal pipe, rode his bike home, vomited, washed up and then settled down to play video games.

Meanwhile, Szendrei continued to fight for her

Friends and family rejoiced after hearing Laura’s murderer will receive life in prison without eligibility for parole for seven years. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) life until she died at 4:02 a.m. the next morning, at Royal Columbian Hospital, from massive brain injuries.

Baird said the killer seemed “remarkably unaffected” by his crimes.

In the months prior to Szendrei’s murder, the young man had attacked three other women near Burns Bog, hitting the third victim over her head with a piece of wood. The judge found his claim that he planned to knock out his victims, to bring on amnesia, to be “patent nonsense.”

Two days after killing Szendrei, the young man attended a birthday party and described his time there as being “fun and awesome.”

He then went on a trip, which he described as “great fun.” He went fishing with his uncle, wearing the same clothing he wore when he attacked Szendrei, with the intention to get fish blood on them to disguise what he’d done and use it as an excuse to discard them.

The young man then returned to Delta and carried on his life as if nothing had happened, Baird said. Three months after the killing, Baird added, the young man seemed to have completely put the murder past him.

Braid was struck by the “prosaic ordinariness”

Mike Szendrei briefly spoke with reporters outside Surrey provincial court following the announcement of an adult sentence for his daughter’s killer. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) of the killer’s background, noting that he had a close and loving family and had enjoyed a normal childhood.

Outside the courthouse Mike Szendrei, the victim’s dad, spoke briefly with reporters.

“Not much to say, the judge looks like he’s doing the right thing here,” he said.

Cooking up a community Cloverdale church’s commercial kitchen will offer more than just food, it will offer community VIEW VIDEO OF KITCHEN PROJECT Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

CLOVERDALE — A church in Cloverdale is building a commercial kitchen to feed those in need, after years of efforts without a proper cooking space.

The Pacific Community Church has set aside 1,000 square feet of its facility, and raised over $350,000, to build a kitchen and serving area.

Alan Cadwell of the Pacific Community Church said the need in the area is great.

“Cloverdale is kind of a unique little community. It draws a lot of folks. There’s very affordable housing, there’s a lot of apartments, we have a homeless shelter just south of where we are, so there’s a need right in this enclave called Cloverdale,” Cadwell said.

The project began when the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and the local RCMP branch approached the church and asked if it could help. The request arose because Cloverdale Christian Fellowship, who used to provide meals, had to discontinue their efforts in 2010 because the Safeway mall they were renting was demolished.

Efforts continued as the Korean community braved the weather and provided meals in downtown Cloverdale using a makeshift tent.

All the while, the Pacific Community Church was serving meals to those in need, partnering with other churches in the area

Recognizing the need in the “unique little community” of Cloverdale, Alan Cadwell of the Pacific Community Church says the church has set aside 1,000 square feet of its facility, and raised over $350,000, to build a kitchen and serving area. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) to do so. But its cooking facilities were inadequate, meaning that food prep had to be done elsewhere.

Up to 100 meals a week were served through the churches’ collaboration.

Then, one year ago, the church began fundraising for its own commercial kitchen, dubbed the Cloverdale Community Kitchen. They’ve raised over $350,000 and the kitchen is set to open at the end of November.

But it will be about more than just food, Cadwell said.

The existing food programs will run out of the kitchen once it opens, but the plan is to add outreach programs for single parents and seniors.

centre where people will know that they will be looked after, that they will be taken care of... Who knows, maybe we get into clothes, there’s endless possibilities. This is a kitchen, yes, but there’s so many other things we can be doing.”

Cadwell said organizers expect the demand for its meal service to increase, perhaps even double, within a few months of the kitchen’s grand opening.

“We just feel the need will be there. We’re not seeing any diminishing numbers, in fact we’re seeing the opposite.”

Surrey councillors have been supportive of the project, Cadwell said.

Coun. Barbara Steele is impressed with the scope of the project and thinks it will help build community in the area.

“They help and they get people going in the right direction. If you can teach people to cook and teach them to be in an area together and work together – it’s about more than just food.”

Steele agreed that the need is great in Cloverdale.

“People wouldn’t normally think of Cloverdale as being a place that’s really in need. And yet they are, and will probably continue to be. It is everywhere. People think of the Whalley area and now into Guildford, but they don’t usually go down south much. It’s widespread,” she said.

COMMUNITY Weekend-long renovation project

Volunteers give new life to longhouse at ‘Camp A’ SEE VIDEO AND MORE PHOTOS

Volunteers gather for a group photo at the Alexandra Neighbourhood House facility on Sunday.

(Photo: GORD GOBLE)

Beach, Camp Alexandra is a unique site. The longhouse, considered the main building, has been around since 1979 and was in dire need of upgrades before the announcement of the renovation in May. “It was an old, tired building,” Bradley said. “It’s brighter now, much more eco-friendly, and it just feels more welcoming in the way that it was when it was new.

So this is just giving it more life.”

Bradley said she’d love to see an increase in weekend and summer rentals of the facility, and also throughout the winter.

After the weekend of work, the interior of the longhouse will be finished and ready for appliances and furniture to be brought in, and the building will be usable at the end of the month.

Renovations to the exterior will have to wait until the spring, due to weather. Visit www.alexhouse.net to learn more about the site.

Tiffany Kwong Now contributor Twitter @kxiaohua

CRESCENT BEACH — It was a party at the “Camp A” longhouse over the weekend – an “extreme makeover” party that lasted 72 hours and involved more than 100 volunteers and countless coats of paint.

“We’re staining shelves and tables, we’ve painted the hallway, we’ve been sanding and doing a little bit of cleanup,” attendee Cherie Cahoon said over the music blasting in the background.

Cahoon works with the South Surrey office of Investors Group, the major backer of the project. When she spoke with the Now on Sunday around noon, she had been on the site with her daughter and mother since 8 a.m. and was going to stay until 5 p.m. They weren’t the only ones who brought family along to get in on the renovation action, from Friday to Sunday.

Outside, on the lawn, a woman and her young son were putting sandpaper to wooden chairs. Inside, adults young and old were sawing and hammering away at drywall while others took up paintbrushes – white for the walls and red for the door frames. There was new flooring and new bathrooms,

and all of the electrical and plumbing work had been done and paid for by local companies in advance of the weekend.

“It’s kind of neat – you start one project until you’re finished and help out with different things, just to give back to the community. It’s been fun, too,” Cahoon said.

Penny Bradley, executive director of Alexandra Neighbourhood House, said the amount of community support has been “heartwarming” for the notfor-profit organization.

“The contributions have been way beyond what we would have ever imagined,” Bradley said. “Volunteers are

COMMUNITY Event at Holland Park

Surrey

Pride group plans for 15th-year party

Annual Diwali gala hosted by SFU Thursday

Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

SURREY — Plans are in the works to make Surrey Pride Society’s annual festival bigger, better and even more “out there” at Holland Park next summer.

A parade of some kind is among ideas being considered for the group’s 15th annual festival, set to happen on the first weekend of July 2014.

“I really want to see Surrey Pride become more out there, front and centre, a little bit more this year, with some of the stuff we’re looking at trying to do,” Mel Gill, the society’s new president, told the Now. Gill replaces Jen Marchbank, who says she “had a great two years” as president of Surrey Pride Society. “(Gill) is a long-time activist with several organizations in Surrey and has a great deal of experience running notfor-profit organizations,” Marchbank stated in a Sept. 20 memo. “Mel has been involved with Surrey Pride in various capacities since 2000 and will

Mel Gill, a Newton resident, is the new president of Surrey Pride Society. be leading the society in celebrating the 15th annual Pride Festival, a special occasion for this society.”

In addition to Gill, the society’s new board includes Gary Munroe, Shawn Ewing, Darshun Hall, Charmaine Friesen, Melanie Dolly Palmer, Travis Brownrigg and David Waterhouse.

The board will meet in the coming weeks and months to draft plans for next year’s festival, Gill said.

“It’s a banner year for us, and we’re

looking at going in some different directions that we’ve never gone before,” he said. “I think by the end of this year, people will notice a big change with us, different than how we looked and acted before. It just takes a bit of time to do that.”

A parade has never been part of the society’s yearly festival in Surrey.

“There has certainly been some interest from people over the years to do that, and a parade does put the event into a whole new perspective,” Gill said.

“We’re looking to do something a little different with the entertainment next year, along with more events surrounding the festival, and that may or may not include a march or some kind of mini-parade. Those are the things we need to discover, like whether the City of Surrey is on board with us, along with funding from the right partners.… We want to put Surrey a bit more on the map in terms of Pride festivals and parades.”

Surrey Pride Society is online at surreypride.ca, also at www.facebook. com/SurreyPride.

SURREY — Simon Fraser University will celebrate its sixth annual Diwali event at a gala at Surrey’s Crown Palace Banquet Hall on Thursday, Oct. 24.

More than 300 business and community leaders, along with SFU students, faculty, staff and alumni, are expected to attend the event, celebrated in India as a festival of lights. The gala, featuring South Asian performances and cuisine, includes a reception (at 5:30 p.m.) and dinner (7 p.m.) at #201-12025 Nordel Way, Surrey.

Gala tickets are $65 each, or $475 for a table of eight (ticket sales ended Monday, Oct. 21). For details, visit www.sfu. ca/invite/diwali.

The event will feature entertainment by Shiamak

Davar International as well as an array of speakers. SFU graduate student and filmmaker Tom Delamere will showcase his latest video project on the Indian Summer Festival (indiansummerfestival. ca), which began as an SFU initiative.

Funds raised from the event go toward SFU student scholarships to support opportunities for students to work, study and volunteer in the cities and villages of India, through the university’s mobility initiative.

SFU President Andrew Petter, the gala host, says the event continues to be one of the many ways in which the university celebrates Indian culture and connects with the South Asian community.

RACE FOR BABIES Friday, Oct. 25 at Fraser Downs

Fun at the races for food bank’s Tiny Bundles SEE VIDEO OF ACTION AT FRASER DOWNS

The Now’s Race for Babies fundraiser returns to Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino this Friday (Oct. 25) for another night at the races.

For the price of a $50 ticket, guests can feast on a buffet dinner, snack on hors d’oeuvres and wash it all down with two beverages.

The fundraiser also features live entertainment, live and silent auctions and an awesome view of the track – good fun for a great cause.

The third annual event raises money for the Surrey Food Bank’s Tiny Bundles program, which provides weekly food hampers to pregnant women and mothers with children under the age of one.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and runs until the races end at Fraser Downs, 17755 60th Ave. For tickets and more details, call the Now’s Margot Gauley at 604-5435839 or email mgauley@ thenownewspaper.com.

Items available for bid in the live auction include a return trip for two to Jasper aboard VIA Rail, a Canucks game/Cactus Club package and a getaway to Galiano Inn resort and spa.

Events such as Race for Babies help raise much needed money for the Tiny Bundles hampers. For a closer look at the program, see story on page 24.

Harness racing adds to the thrill of the annual Race for Babies fundraiser, which returns to Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino this Friday, Oct. 25.

Surrey United’s players and coaches were all smiles after winning the Canadian Under-16 boys’ club soccer championship with a 1-0 win over Ontario in Kamloops on the Thanksgiving long weekend. (Submitted photo)

Surrey United works overtime to win national title Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow

The lads from Surrey United struck gold in Kamloops over the Thanksgiving weekend, capturing national bragging rights at the Canadian Under-16 club soccer championships.

The Cloverdale boys went undefeated through five games in the tourney, outscoring their opponents 23-1 en route to the gold medal.

“They went in as the favourites and they performed like it as well,” said Surrey United technical director Jeff Clarke. “It was an awesome ride and a great week for them.”

The gold medal is the second straight U-16 national title for a Surrey United boys’ team, with an entirely new cast of players winning the title this year in Kamloops.

“Our program is geared to player development first and a byproduct of that is the teams seem to do well,” Clarke said. “It’s not the other way around where winning comes first and player development comes second. It’s our philosophy and it creates a nice pipeline of talent coming through Surrey.”

Surrey opened the tournament with a convincing 7-0 romp over Newfoundland as Ola Ajibike and Bradley Heffey each netted a pair. After squeaking past Nova

Scotia 3-1 on goals by Matteo Bordignon, Cole Basarich and Luke Warkentin, United cranked up the offence once again to blast New Brunswick and P.E.I. by identical 6-0 scores to close out the round robin.

Surrey’s 4-0 record launched the Cloverdale lads into the gold medal game where they faced a much stiffer test from Ontario’s Vaughan Azzurri. The two sides played to a scoreless draw through regulation and then embarked on two 15minute sudden death overtime sessions.

Surrey finally settled the matter in the 117th minute – three minutes before a possible shootout – when Liam McIlvenna converted a corner kick by bouncing a shot

off a Vaughan defender and into the goal.

Goalkeeper Aman Thind came through with a massive game for Surrey United, making several outstanding saves in regulation and overtime to keep the game scoreless.

Surrey United had two other teams battling for national supremacy as the club’s U-14 boys’ and girls’ teams were both in Lethbridge for the age group championships.

In girls action, Surrey got off to an excellent start as Jaime Saint-Onge and Mackenzie Toop each posted hat tricks in a 6-0 win over P.E.I. Surrey dropped their see COASTAL › page 27

Coastal U-18 girls finish fourth ‹ from page 26 next game 4-2 to Alberta Napoli and then fell 2-1 on penalty kicks to Nova Scotia.

The Cloverdale girls closed out roundrobin play with a 2-1 loss to Alberta Blizzard Ajax but rallied to beat Saskatchewan 6-0 in the game to determine seventh place.

Shanya Dhindsa scored twice in the win over Saskatchewan.

At the same venue, the Surrey United U-14 boys posted a 2-1-1 record in round robin play to finish out of the medal hunt.

The B.C. champions blitzed Newfoundland 5-0 in their opener and then battled to a 2-2 draw with Manitoba in their second outing. Surrey’s lone loss of the weekend came 3-2 on penalty kicks to Alberta, but United bounced back and took their frustrations out on Saskatchewan with an 8-0 thrashing to complete pool play.

In the fifth place game, Surrey closed

out the tournament with a 5-1 win over Manitoba.

Meanwhile on the far eastern edge of the country, South Surrey’s Coastal FC girls fell just short of a medal with a fourth place finish at the U-18 national club championships in St. John’s Newfoundland.

Coastal opened with a 1-0 win over Alberta Juventus, thanks to a goal from Danae Derksen. In their next outing, Surrey topped Ontario’s Burlington Bayhawks 2-0 before running their record to 3-0 with a convincing 4-0 win over hosts Mount Pearl.

Coastal was then eliminated from championship contention when they dropped a 1-0 decision to the Newfoundland champions in their final round-robin match.

Coastal then finished out of the medals when they Nova Scotia squeaked out a 2-1 win in the bronze medal game.

Szendrei family ‘happier’ as killer gets life VIEW SZENDREI STORY: IN PHOTOS Tom Zytaruk Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

SURREY — The young man who murdered North Delta teenager Laura Szendrei in September 2010 has been

Laura Szendrei’s mom, Rachael, gives a thumbs up following the sentencing of her daughter’s killer as an adult on Friday in a Surrey courtroom. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility to apply for parole for seven years.

The clock started ticking on his sentence

the day he was arrested in February 2011.

The 21-year-old man hung his head low while cheers and sobs filled the packed

courtroom in Surrey Friday.

“We’re happier,” Rachael Szendrei, Laura’s mom, said as she left the courthouse. “It’s unfortunate my daughter got sacrificed, but it’s a good thing that the justice system came through for us, and that everybody in Delta will be a lot safer.”

“I miss Laura so much,” she said.

Over the past few months lawyers have been arguing whether the killer, who was just shy of his 18th birthday when he murdered the 15-year-old girl, should be sentenced as an adult or a youth. If he were sentenced as a youth, he would have received a maximum seven years under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, with four of those years to be served in prison and the remainder in the community, under supervision. see SZENDREI KILLER › page 9

A toast to $35M brewery’s ‘wow factor’ Bridgeview facility open for tastings and tours – and if you thought seeing one brewery is seeing them all, think again VIEW VIDEO, PHOTOS

Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

BRIDGEVIEW — The brand spanking new Central City Brewers + Distillers’ facility is now open to the public, offering up tastings of its many craft beers in a tapping room, as well as providing tours of the brewery and selling merchandise.

Located in Bridgeview, the shiny 65,000square-foot building houses millions of dollars of equipment to make the company’s many award-winning craft beers – and even spirits, now.

The tapping room offers beer tastings and draught beer sold in “growlers,” which are two-litre “grab and go” containers. The site also sells packaged beer.

From Central City’s signature Red Racer IPA, to a full lineup of ales and lagers, and seasonal pours such as the current pumpkin ale, there are many types of beer to sample, or take home.

Just a step in the front door, Seraph, a large winged man made of metal, greets those who enter. Seraph is going to be on the company’s vodka and gin labels, once they finalize those products.

“It’s definitely the wow factor,” Tim Barnes, Central City’s VP of marketing and sales, said of the art piece.

And the wow factor continues throughout the $35-million facility. Whether it’s the floor-to-ceiling wall of glass and cedar siding on the east side of the brewery, or the rows of silver fermentation tanks, or the large door built into the ceiling of the plant to allow for more tanks to be dropped down by crane, it’s an impressive operation.

For the last decade, beer was brewed at the rear of the company’s pub located at Central City Shopping Centre. The company was maxed out at that facility for years, Barnes said.

The new site dwarfs the old operation – the cooler alone is larger than the old brewery. But it’s not just the size that’s meant to impress. As part of its research, the company toured many U.S. craft breweries and wineries to see what worked and what didn’t.

Central City president and founder Darryll Frost, brewmaster Gary Lohin, and marketing and sales vice-president Tim Barnes rejoice with a couple pints at the company’s new brewery in Bridgeview. See more photos using your Layar app. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) “We said, ‘How do we create an experience that’s better than what’s out there?’ And that’s really what we’re here for,” Barnes said.

“We want to have a merchandise store that could be a stand-alone retail store on its own, we want a tap room where people can feel comfortable and enjoy a great pint, but in an atmosphere that feels a lot nicer but also welcoming. We tried to make it warm as well as premium-looking.”

Barnes said he sees the operation becoming a tourism draw.

“We believe that B.C. craft breweries in general could be more of a tourist destination. And this could be one of the best to see,” he said.

The company’s beer has won plenty of international, national and local awards, including the Best Local BrewPub and Best BC BrewPub awards from CAMRA this year; the company also earned gold in the Canadian Brewing Awards 2013 for its Red Racer Extra Special Bitter, Imperial IPA and Bourbon Barrel Imperial Porter beers.

While the brand has taken off, Barnes said the company isn’t as big as it wants to be. The new plant is the engine it needs to deliver once sales increase, he said.

“It’s our platform,” he said. “It’s like we’re on the diving board and we’ve got that bounce going.”

Barnes said Surrey has been good to the company, and has been an amazing partner in the project.

The company partnered with the Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC) to

construct the building on city-owned land.

Central City Brewing is currently a tenant in the building.

To initiate the relationship, the company’s founder and president Darryll Frost invited Mayor Dianne Watts to the old brewery to share his vision.

“She was a step ahead of me the whole way,” Frost said. “She moved quickly to have the city interact with us to get the information required to justify building this building.”

He said Jim Cox, president of SCDC, and Watts should get a lot of the credit for the project.

“Without those two people, it certainly wouldn’t be what it is today and it may not have got off the ground.”

Both the company and the city has benefited from the partnership, Frost said.

“The city has gained an amenity, I don’t think there’s any question about that. It’s a magnificent project... As you exit the city (toward New Westminster), it’s the last building you see as you come down the hill. I think that bodes well for Bridgeview and I think it bodes well for the city both as an amenity, as a new tax base, as a new employer, so there are many reasons why the city benefits,” Frost said.

The facility, located at 11411 Bridgeview Dr., is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., for tastings and sales. Tours are scheduled at 1, 3 and 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, by reservation. areid@thenownewspaper.com With files from Tom Zillich

New SFU course will use Central City’s old brewery SURREY — Simon Fraser University will soon have a new course on tap. And yes, it has everything to do with beer. The course, called the Science of Brewing, is set to launch next January.

Classes will be held at SFU’s Surrey campus, and also at Central City Brewers + Distillers former facility behind the brewpub and its recently opened headquarters in Bridgeview.

The credit course will explore the chemistry, biology and microbiology involved in the brewing process.

Claire Cupples, Dean of Science for SFU, said the pilot course is “transformative” in many ways.

“Not only does it involve a close partnership with industry – in this case, Central City Brewers + Distillers – but students will also ‘learn science by doing science’,” she said.

Biological Science 372 is one of the inaugural products of the $2-million INSPIRE initiative that Cupples launched last year to stimulate change in the way science is taught at SFU. Amy Reid

by Sandhu ($2,261,97).

Neither Sims nor Grewal recorded travel expenses for dependents.

Sims spent the most on her own travel – $101,668.45 – followed by Grewal ($64,702.62), Hiebert ($62,431.11) and Sandhu ($61,043.03).

Under the “Designated Traveller” category – which refers to someone other than the MPs’ employees or another MP – neither Sandhu nor Sims recorded any expenses. In this category Hiebert spent $13,761.53 and Grewal, $32,710.05 – more than half of what she expensed for her own travel.

The Now tried to contact Grewal to find out who her “designated traveller” was, and where that person went, but the MP didn’t return phone calls.

During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, Grewal was the third highest spender of all B.C. MPs, spending $543,563.53.

In the 2008-2009 fiscal year, Hiebert was the biggest-spending MP in B.C. and the second highest spender in all of Canada, recording $637,093 in expenses when the national average was roughly $200,000.

WHITE ROCK — Thieves were apparently feeling a little hungry and a little dirty in White Rock during the month of September. In one incident, somebody apparently broke into a vehicle to steal a bag of granola and a bottle of Purell disinfectant.

The incident was one of 16 vehicle thefts reported in September as part of the RCMP’s monthly crime report. Other items stolen from vehicles include wallets, purses, electronics and Nexus cards and police are reminding people to leave nothing of value in vehicles.

Other cases of crime in the city by the sea include the theft of tools from construction sites, graffiti sprayed at an elementary school and seven incidents of break and enters.

According to police, most of the break and enters occurred in the afternoon and items targeted were electronics, jewelry and passports.

As a reminder, police are warning people to ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked at all times.

Spring is here, and BC SPCA shelters are overflowing with orphaned, abandoned and abused animals. If you can open your heart and home to foster a pet, please call or visit your local shelter today.

SURREY— South Surrey could have a cultural hub to call its own if a proposed arts/residential development gets the goahead from the city.

The proposed development, which would see an arts centre, café and gallery built at 152nd Street and 19th Avenue, would be part of a 350-unit residential development that would also see a 26-storey and 19storey tower built on top of the would-be arts amenities.

The development’s architect is Patrick Cotter, who is also involved with the 3 Civic Plaza development in City Centre, and details provided show that the proposed arts centre would total 22,000 square feet, including a proscenium theatre, a studio theatre, rehearsal hall and dressing rooms.

The other part of the arts proposal includes a 6,900-square-foot contemporary arts centre that would include a café and gallery and exhibit space.

Barbara Cooper of Semiahmoo Arts said the performing arts spaces would be muchneeded amenities for the South Surrey community.

Citing a community consultation between the city and residents regarding Surrey’s cultural plan that was held a few years back, Cooper said this type of project is exactly what’s needed.

“They had a number of discussions where certain priorities around the city were identified and certainly cultural amenities for the South Surrey area came through loud and strong,” said Cooper, noting that

the café and gallery portion would likely be run by artists.

“That’s my understanding. There isn’t anything that currently focuses on these people who are part of a collaboration called Contemporary Arts Matters. Their focus is more on contemporary arts forms as opposed to more traditional forms like landscape paintings and such.”

Currently, there are no city-owned public arts spaces in the south, but Cooper said there was a performance venue at Earl Marriott Secondary that does get some use.

The project in question has yet to come before council, and there is currently no timeline on the development.

A public meeting on the proposed development will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 22 at the Rotary Field House at 14600 Rotary Way. The meeting will be in an open-house format running from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. and architect Patrick Cotter will give two presentations, one at 5 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m.

SURREY — New Democrat MP Jinny Sims says Wednesday’s Speech from the Throne failed to address soaring unemployment, particularly among young people.

“I kept listening for concrete steps towards lowering Canada’s unemployment rate, and particularly initiatives that would help our unemployed youth, but I heard nothing,” said the NDP employment critic and MP for Newton-North Delta.

“The young people in my riding deserve better from their governments,” she said.

Earlier this month the NDP proposed a $1,000 tax credit for businesses that hire Canadians aged 18 to 25, and matching funds to train them.

Nina Grewal, Conservative MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells, defended the throne speech.

“Our government is making changes that will improve the long-term outlook for our economy and for all Canadians,” Grewal said. “Indeed, by creating jobs and opportunities, protecting and supporting families, and by putting Canada first, our government is helping to ensure that hard working Tom Zytaruk Canadians prosper.”

How women welders will work wonders InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

A

young female friend of our family approached me the other day and said she has decided to drop out of university and pursue something else.

“I’m thinking of becoming a welder. What do you think?” she asked me.

I congratulated her on her choice, and told her it was very likely she would have a well-paying career a lot quicker than most of her university-bound friends and that it would last a very long time.

I was reminded of that encounter upon hearing the news that the B.C. Construction Association is once again heading to Ireland to find about 600 qualified trades people to fill positions in this province.

Not only is this a return trip to Ireland, but it follows a similar expedition to California last year.

I’ve written about our looming skills shortage before, but there are few signs the problem is being addressed in any significant way. And time is of the essence. The raw demographical change that

is starting to ripple through society at an accelerating pace is having an impact that literally grows by the day.

For example, as more and more baby boomers ease into retirement (albeit at a later year than in the past), the vacancies in all kinds of trained occupations start to mushroom. The peak of the boomer generation will retire in about 10 years, and that is when we may be in a genuine crisis if action is not taken now.

How do these demographic changes play out in the workplace?

Well, those who retire are oftentimes the people who are in management or in senior supervisory positions. On construction projects, that translates into a lot of foremen and project managers leaving, without adequately trained (and experienced) hands to replace them.

Adding to the urgency of solving this problem (“crisis” would not be an overstatement) is the fact that a number of major industrial projects are set to come online in the foreseeable future.

Pipelines, LNG plants, several new mines, wind farms, plus the regular ongoing construction projects – all will require in total tens of thousands of

new, properly trained trades workers.

One government estimate concludes that over the next 10 to 15 years, more than 150,000 vacancies in the trades will need to be filled. Premier Christy Clark has engaged with the unionized B.C. Building Trades Council to tap into what she calls their “trap line” of skilled workers in the United States to help fill those jobs.

But we need workers from B.C. as well. And this brings us to our education system and whether it is doing enough to close this skills gap.

Both Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have dropped broad hints some big changes may be

coming, in both the K-12 and post-secondary sides of the education equation.

Perhaps students will be offered more choices, or encouragement, at an earlier age to consider getting a trade as their career.

If it becomes clear to young people that the way to a well-paying job is through a trade and not a vaguely defined university degree, perhaps there will be a much bigger take-up of a trades vocation.

Any changes in the postsecondary system regarding making trades more of a priority are trickier and potentially more controversial.

Universities and colleges rightly value their academic freedom and independence.

However, the days of a provincial government handing over millions of dollars to a post-secondary institution with no strings attached may be drawing to a close.

I’ve heard the premier say she doesn’t see the point of universities simply churning out more, to pick just one example, teachers when there is a surplus of teachers. This may translate into her government increasing funding for trades training programs by taking funding away from other post-secondary programs, which will likely be met with howls of outrage from the academic community.

While traditionally academic degrees such as

arts degrees remain valuable (the so-called “credentials inflation” means some kind of degree is required even for jobs not needing one a decade ago) we need more young people like my family friend who are willing to step outside the box.

And they must be given greater opportunities to do that, which means more government funding.

They are the workers who will not only benefit financially, but who will help solve a problem that could inflict serious damage on our economy.

Szendrei killer merciless, ‘unaffected’ VIEW VIDEO FROM OUTSIDE COURT

Teen busted for punching bus driver

‹ from page 1

Justice Robin Baird noted the killer “was on the very threshold of adulthood” when he committed his “ruinously violent” offence, “only days short of the arbitrary line.”

A publication ban on the killer’s name will remain in effect until at least late January when Baird will hear arguments concerning its merits.

The young man hung his head and women in the gallery cried as Baird described the girl’s “cruel death.”

It had been a warm, sunny day, shortly before 1:30 p.m., when Szendrei received a text message to join some of her friends at Mackie Park.

Meanwhile, the killer was hiding in the wooded park, laying in wait to rape the first woman he saw.

Baird noted he and Szendrei were “total strangers.”

“He had no particular victim in mind,” Baird said. “He planned to rape the first woman who came along.”

The young man lured the girl, calling out to her that his bicycle chain had come off and that he needed her help.

As she was helping him, he tried to force some zap straps over her head. She screamed, and he hit her over the head with a metal pipe. She ran, and he hit her again, and then again.

“He tracked her down mercilessly,” Baird said.

“The violence was intentional and extreme.”

When people heard the ruckus and rushed in to see what was going on, the killer pretended to be a bystander and suggested that everyone split up to seek help. He then went back to the scene of the crime, retrieved his metal pipe, rode his bike home, vomited, washed up and then settled down to play video games.

Meanwhile, Szendrei continued to fight for her

Friends and family rejoiced after hearing Laura’s murderer will receive life in prison without eligibility for parole for seven years. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) life until she died at 4:02 a.m. the next morning, at Royal Columbian Hospital, from massive brain injuries.

Baird said the killer seemed “remarkably unaffected” by his crimes.

In the months prior to Szendrei’s murder, the young man had attacked three other women near Burns Bog, hitting the third victim over her head with a piece of wood. The judge found his claim that he planned to knock out his victims, to bring on amnesia, to be “patent nonsense.”

Two days after killing Szendrei, the young man attended a birthday party and described his time there as being “fun and awesome.”

He then went on a trip, which he described as “great fun.” He went fishing with his uncle, wearing the same clothing he wore when he attacked Szendrei, with the intention to get fish blood on them to disguise what he’d done and use it as an excuse to discard them.

The young man then returned to Delta and carried on his life as if nothing had happened, Baird said. Three months after the killing, Baird added, the young man seemed to have completely put the murder past him.

Braid was struck by the “prosaic ordinariness”

Mike Szendrei briefly spoke with reporters outside Surrey provincial court following the announcement of an adult sentence for his daughter’s killer. (Photo: JACOB ZINN) of the killer’s background, noting that he had a close and loving family and had enjoyed a normal childhood.

Outside the courthouse Mike Szendrei, the victim’s dad, spoke briefly with reporters.

“Not much to say, the judge looks like he’s doing the right thing here,” he said.

Cooking up a community Cloverdale church’s commercial kitchen will offer more than just food, it will offer community VIEW VIDEO OF KITCHEN PROJECT Amy Reid Now staff Twitter @amyreid87

CLOVERDALE — A church in Cloverdale is building a commercial kitchen to feed those in need, after years of efforts without a proper cooking space.

The Pacific Community Church has set aside 1,000 square feet of its facility, and raised over $350,000, to build a kitchen and serving area.

Alan Cadwell of the Pacific Community Church said the need in the area is great.

“Cloverdale is kind of a unique little community. It draws a lot of folks. There’s very affordable housing, there’s a lot of apartments, we have a homeless shelter just south of where we are, so there’s a need right in this enclave called Cloverdale,” Cadwell said.

The project began when the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and the local RCMP branch approached the church and asked if it could help. The request arose because Cloverdale Christian Fellowship, who used to provide meals, had to discontinue their efforts in 2010 because the Safeway mall they were renting was demolished.

Efforts continued as the Korean community braved the weather and provided meals in downtown Cloverdale using a makeshift tent.

All the while, the Pacific Community Church was serving meals to those in need, partnering with other churches in the area

Recognizing the need in the “unique little community” of Cloverdale, Alan Cadwell of the Pacific Community Church says the church has set aside 1,000 square feet of its facility, and raised over $350,000, to build a kitchen and serving area. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) to do so. But its cooking facilities were inadequate, meaning that food prep had to be done elsewhere.

Up to 100 meals a week were served through the churches’ collaboration.

Then, one year ago, the church began fundraising for its own commercial kitchen, dubbed the Cloverdale Community Kitchen. They’ve raised over $350,000 and the kitchen is set to open at the end of November.

But it will be about more than just food, Cadwell said.

The existing food programs will run out of the kitchen once it opens, but the plan is to add outreach programs for single parents and seniors.

“I think this is going to be a community

centre where people will know that they will be looked after, that they will be taken care of... Who knows, maybe we get into clothes, there’s endless possibilities. This is a kitchen, yes, but there’s so many other things we can be doing.”

Cadwell said organizers expect the demand for its meal service to increase, perhaps even double, within a few months of the kitchen’s grand opening.

“We just feel the need will be there. We’re not seeing any diminishing numbers, in fact we’re seeing the opposite.”

Surrey councillors have been supportive of the project, Cadwell said.

Coun. Barbara Steele is impressed with the scope of the project and thinks it will help build community in the area.

“They help and they get people going in the right direction. If you can teach people to cook and teach them to be in an area together and work together – it’s about more than just food.”

Steele agreed that the need is great in Cloverdale.

“People wouldn’t normally think of Cloverdale as being a place that’s really in need. And yet they are, and will probably continue to be. It is everywhere. People think of the Whalley area and now into Guildford, but they don’t usually go down south much. It’s widespread,” she said.

COMMUNITY Weekend-long renovation project

Volunteers give new life to longhouse at ‘Camp A’ SEE VIDEO AND MORE PHOTOS

Volunteers gather for a group photo at the Alexandra Neighbourhood House facility on Sunday.

(Photo: GORD GOBLE)

Beach, Camp Alexandra is a unique site. The longhouse, considered the main building, has been around since 1979 and was in dire need of upgrades before the announcement of the renovation in May. “It was an old, tired building,” Bradley said. “It’s brighter now, much more eco-friendly, and it just feels more welcoming in the way that it was when it was new.

So this is just giving it more life.”

Bradley said she’d love to see an increase in weekend and summer rentals of the facility, and also throughout the winter.

After the weekend of work, the interior of the longhouse will be finished and ready for appliances and furniture to be brought in, and the building will be usable at the end of the month.

Renovations to the exterior will have to wait until the spring, due to weather. Visit www.alexhouse.net to learn more about the site.

Tiffany Kwong Now contributor Twitter @kxiaohua

CRESCENT BEACH — It was a party at the “Camp A” longhouse over the weekend – an “extreme makeover” party that lasted 72 hours and involved more than 100 volunteers and countless coats of paint.

“We’re staining shelves and tables, we’ve painted the hallway, we’ve been sanding and doing a little bit of cleanup,” attendee Cherie Cahoon said over the music blasting in the background.

Cahoon works with the South Surrey office of Investors Group, the major backer of the project. When she spoke with the Now on Sunday around noon, she had been on the site with her daughter and mother since 8 a.m. and was going to stay until 5 p.m. They weren’t the only ones who brought family along to get in on the renovation action, from Friday to Sunday.

Outside, on the lawn, a woman and her young son were putting sandpaper to wooden chairs. Inside, adults young and old were sawing and hammering away at drywall while others took up paintbrushes – white for the walls and red for the door frames. There was new flooring and new bathrooms,

and all of the electrical and plumbing work had been done and paid for by local companies in advance of the weekend.

“It’s kind of neat – you start one project until you’re finished and help out with different things, just to give back to the community. It’s been fun, too,” Cahoon said.

Penny Bradley, executive director of Alexandra Neighbourhood House, said the amount of community support has been “heartwarming” for the notfor-profit organization.

“The contributions have been way beyond what we would have ever imagined,” Bradley said. “Volunteers are

COMMUNITY Event at Holland Park

Surrey

Pride group plans for 15th-year party

Annual Diwali gala hosted by SFU Thursday

Tom Zillich Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

SURREY — Plans are in the works to make Surrey Pride Society’s annual festival bigger, better and even more “out there” at Holland Park next summer.

A parade of some kind is among ideas being considered for the group’s 15th annual festival, set to happen on the first weekend of July 2014.

“I really want to see Surrey Pride become more out there, front and centre, a little bit more this year, with some of the stuff we’re looking at trying to do,” Mel Gill, the society’s new president, told the Now. Gill replaces Jen Marchbank, who says she “had a great two years” as president of Surrey Pride Society. “(Gill) is a long-time activist with several organizations in Surrey and has a great deal of experience running notfor-profit organizations,” Marchbank stated in a Sept. 20 memo. “Mel has been involved with Surrey Pride in various capacities since 2000 and will

Mel Gill, a Newton resident, is the new president of Surrey Pride Society. be leading the society in celebrating the 15th annual Pride Festival, a special occasion for this society.”

In addition to Gill, the society’s new board includes Gary Munroe, Shawn Ewing, Darshun Hall, Charmaine Friesen, Melanie Dolly Palmer, Travis Brownrigg and David Waterhouse.

The board will meet in the coming weeks and months to draft plans for next year’s festival, Gill said.

“It’s a banner year for us, and we’re

looking at going in some different directions that we’ve never gone before,” he said. “I think by the end of this year, people will notice a big change with us, different than how we looked and acted before. It just takes a bit of time to do that.”

A parade has never been part of the society’s yearly festival in Surrey.

“There has certainly been some interest from people over the years to do that, and a parade does put the event into a whole new perspective,” Gill said.

“We’re looking to do something a little different with the entertainment next year, along with more events surrounding the festival, and that may or may not include a march or some kind of mini-parade. Those are the things we need to discover, like whether the City of Surrey is on board with us, along with funding from the right partners.… We want to put Surrey a bit more on the map in terms of Pride festivals and parades.”

Surrey Pride Society is online at surreypride.ca, also at www.facebook. com/SurreyPride.

SURREY — Simon Fraser University will celebrate its sixth annual Diwali event at a gala at Surrey’s Crown Palace Banquet Hall on Thursday, Oct. 24.

More than 300 business and community leaders, along with SFU students, faculty, staff and alumni, are expected to attend the event, celebrated in India as a festival of lights. The gala, featuring South Asian performances and cuisine, includes a reception (at 5:30 p.m.) and dinner (7 p.m.) at #201-12025 Nordel Way, Surrey.

Gala tickets are $65 each, or $475 for a table of eight (ticket sales ended Monday, Oct. 21). For details, visit www.sfu. ca/invite/diwali.

The event will feature entertainment by Shiamak

Davar International as well as an array of speakers. SFU graduate student and filmmaker Tom Delamere will showcase his latest video project on the Indian Summer Festival (indiansummerfestival. ca), which began as an SFU initiative.

Funds raised from the event go toward SFU student scholarships to support opportunities for students to work, study and volunteer in the cities and villages of India, through the university’s mobility initiative.

SFU President Andrew Petter, the gala host, says the event continues to be one of the many ways in which the university celebrates Indian culture and connects with the South Asian community.

RACE FOR BABIES Friday, Oct. 25 at Fraser Downs

Fun at the races for food bank’s Tiny Bundles SEE VIDEO OF ACTION AT FRASER DOWNS

The Now’s Race for Babies fundraiser returns to Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino this Friday (Oct. 25) for another night at the races.

For the price of a $50 ticket, guests can feast on a buffet dinner, snack on hors d’oeuvres and wash it all down with two beverages.

The fundraiser also features live entertainment, live and silent auctions and an awesome view of the track – good fun for a great cause.

The third annual event raises money for the Surrey Food Bank’s Tiny Bundles program, which provides weekly food hampers to pregnant women and mothers with children under the age of one.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and runs until the races end at Fraser Downs, 17755 60th Ave. For tickets and more details, call the Now’s Margot Gauley at 604-5435839 or email mgauley@ thenownewspaper.com.

Items available for bid in the live auction include a return trip for two to Jasper aboard VIA Rail, a Canucks game/Cactus Club package and a getaway to Galiano Inn resort and spa.

Events such as Race for Babies help raise much needed money for the Tiny Bundles hampers. For a closer look at the program, see story on page 24.

Harness racing adds to the thrill of the annual Race for Babies fundraiser, which returns to Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino this Friday, Oct. 25.

Tiny Bundles is a Surrey Food Bank program designed for pregnant moms and families with babies aged newborn to one year.

Tiny Bundles “moms” receive a food hamper every week (instead of every two weeks) as well as fresh eggs and milk while pregnant or nursing. Hampers are supplemented with fresh vegetables and other nutritional items, when available, and also toiletries and other products.

New parents receive a baby layette – a collection

of clothing – when their baby is born and a “grad” gift package when the baby turns one year old.

Pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life are critically important for healthy development.

Proper nutrition and support lays a good foundation for the rest of

their lives.

Tiny Bundles program participants receive assistance from the food bank once a week – on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

For those looking to donate, supplies needed for the Tiny Bundles program include baby formula, diapers, cereal (for eight months of age) and baby jar food (fruit, meals and vegetables, both large and small jars).

Items needed for the baby layette packages include winter outfits, bottles, blankets and baby toiletries.

Donors can also sponsor a Tiny Bundle for $35 per month. For more details about the program, call 604-581-5443 or visit surreyfoodbank.org.

Surrey United’s players and coaches were all smiles after winning the Canadian Under-16 boys’ club soccer championship with a 1-0 win over Ontario in Kamloops on the Thanksgiving long weekend. (Submitted photo)

Surrey United works overtime to win national title Michael Booth Now staff Twitter @boothnow

The lads from Surrey United struck gold in Kamloops over the Thanksgiving weekend, capturing national bragging rights at the Canadian Under-16 club soccer championships.

The Cloverdale boys went undefeated through five games in the tourney, outscoring their opponents 23-1 en route to the gold medal.

“They went in as the favourites and they performed like it as well,” said Surrey United technical director Jeff Clarke. “It was an awesome ride and a great week for them.”

The gold medal is the second straight U-16 national title for a Surrey United boys’ team, with an entirely new cast of players winning the title this year in Kamloops.

“Our program is geared to player development first and a byproduct of that is the teams seem to do well,” Clarke said. “It’s not the other way around where winning comes first and player development comes second. It’s our philosophy and it creates a nice pipeline of talent coming through Surrey.”

Surrey opened the tournament with a convincing 7-0 romp over Newfoundland as Ola Ajibike and Bradley Heffey each netted a pair. After squeaking past Nova

Scotia 3-1 on goals by Matteo Bordignon, Cole Basarich and Luke Warkentin, United cranked up the offence once again to blast New Brunswick and P.E.I. by identical 6-0 scores to close out the round robin.

Surrey’s 4-0 record launched the Cloverdale lads into the gold medal game where they faced a much stiffer test from Ontario’s Vaughan Azzurri. The two sides played to a scoreless draw through regulation and then embarked on two 15minute sudden death overtime sessions.

Surrey finally settled the matter in the 117th minute – three minutes before a possible shootout – when Liam McIlvenna converted a corner kick by bouncing a shot

off a Vaughan defender and into the goal.

Goalkeeper Aman Thind came through with a massive game for Surrey United, making several outstanding saves in regulation and overtime to keep the game scoreless.

Surrey United had two other teams battling for national supremacy as the club’s U-14 boys’ and girls’ teams were both in Lethbridge for the age group championships.

In girls action, Surrey got off to an excellent start as Jaime Saint-Onge and Mackenzie Toop each posted hat tricks in a 6-0 win over P.E.I. Surrey dropped their see COASTAL › page 27

Coastal U-18 girls finish fourth ‹ from page 26 next game 4-2 to Alberta Napoli and then fell 2-1 on penalty kicks to Nova Scotia.

The Cloverdale girls closed out roundrobin play with a 2-1 loss to Alberta Blizzard Ajax but rallied to beat Saskatchewan 6-0 in the game to determine seventh place.

Shanya Dhindsa scored twice in the win over Saskatchewan.

At the same venue, the Surrey United U-14 boys posted a 2-1-1 record in round robin play to finish out of the medal hunt.

The B.C. champions blitzed Newfoundland 5-0 in their opener and then battled to a 2-2 draw with Manitoba in their second outing. Surrey’s lone loss of the weekend came 3-2 on penalty kicks to Alberta, but United bounced back and took their frustrations out on Saskatchewan with an 8-0 thrashing to complete pool play.

In the fifth place game, Surrey closed

out the tournament with a 5-1 win over Manitoba.

Meanwhile on the far eastern edge of the country, South Surrey’s Coastal FC girls fell just short of a medal with a fourth place finish at the U-18 national club championships in St. John’s Newfoundland.

Coastal opened with a 1-0 win over Alberta Juventus, thanks to a goal from Danae Derksen. In their next outing, Surrey topped Ontario’s Burlington Bayhawks 2-0 before running their record to 3-0 with a convincing 4-0 win over hosts Mount Pearl.

Coastal was then eliminated from championship contention when they dropped a 1-0 decision to the Newfoundland champions in their final round-robin match.

Coastal then finished out of the medals when they Nova Scotia squeaked out a 2-1 win in the bronze medal game.

All practical advantages or disadvantages aside, there is nothing like the allure or lustre of wooden flooring. Your floor is a huge component of the aesthetic appeal of your home, and in many cases might be the reason someone might buy your home.

A new wood floor, whether it is solid or engineered wood, is a great way to increase the resale value of your home.

Y&R STAR GRACES THE STAGE MAIN STAGE, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27 @ 1:00PM Melody Thomas Scott is an American actress best known for playing the dynamic and engaging Nikki Newman on The Young and the Restless. Scott has been considered an icon in the soap opera genre, and has earned herself a respectable place in the Y&R history books for her three-decades-long portrayal of the captivating character.

In 1979, at the age of 23, Scott was cast as the young Nikki Reed, who would later evolve into one of the show’s most important characters. Over time, the character reformed and became an integral part of Genoa City society, marrying the powerful Victor Newman and boosting their union to “supercouple” status. Nikki is not only seen as a loving wife and devoted mother, but also a powerful businesswoman and socialite. In real life, Scott is married with three kids and lives in Beverley Hills with her family.

Described as “Canada’s sweetheart with a nail gun,” Sherry Holmes proves looks are deceiving. On the hit TV Show Holmes Makes It Right®, she’s helping to change the face of Canada’s skilled trades workforce, demonstrating that women can do just as well or better than any man working in the industry. As a tiling and framing pro, her attention to detail shows that there’s beauty in “making it right,” and her creative nature has helped her evolve into a tiling superstar – surpassing other professionals who have been working in the trade for years.

Hailing from Toronto, Sherry grew up working closely with her father, home improvement guru Mike Holmes. On the show and on the job, Sherry pushes everyone to step up their game, and when they do she plays nice. But if you cross her, don’t expect a “girl” fight.

CHARITY AUCTION NIGHT MAIN STAGE, SATURDAY @ 6:45PM Get ready to bid on a night to remember, as the West Coast Women’s Show auctions off a luxurious girls spa experience for four, courtesy of European Day Spa and Salon, followed by a group dinner date at The Keg Steakhouse & Bar with four of the 2014 Calendar Firefighters. 100% of proceeds from the auction will go to the Vancouver Firefighters Charitable Society.

Police Officer of the Year Awards 2013 POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR – NOMINATED BY COMMUNITY

for the officers who work with him, and to the communities who often reach out to him for advice and support when dealing with sensitive situations. Staff Sergeant Dean Scott is passionate about his work and his team.

Staff Sergeant Dean Scott Staff Sergeant Dean Scott has served as a member of the RCMP for more than 35 years and is now the Staff Sergeant for District 2, Guildford. Dean has been instrumental in bridging and building relationships between the RCMP, the community, and businesses. Prior to his arrival as District Commander three years ago, parts of Guildford, including the mall, experienced a large amount vehicle theft. In recent years, the number of vehicles stolen, along with other crime in the area, has drastically decreased. Staff Sergeant Dean Scott ensures that issues are handled promptly, and that problem individuals are dealt with quickly and efficiently. Dean is constantly communicating with the businesses in District 2, ensuring they are aware of crime trends in the area. His expertise and experience make him a valued teacher

POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR – NOMINATED BY PEERS Constable Taylor Quee During the past 3 years Constable Taylor Quee has sought improvements regarding the interactions that police and other agencies have with clients that exhibit mental health issues. Her passion for working with Mental Health clients developed during her various postings in Surrey Detachment. Her observations led her to believe that improvements could be made regarding the amount of time police and other agencies were spending with certain prolific clients. She standardized the way in which police and other agencies dealt with Mental Health clients. On her

own volition, and quite often on her own time, Constable Quee took a lead role and put structure to the Mental Health Forum. In a self-generated pilot project, she created a client base for the Forum. She coordinated and researched how other North American police agencies respond to their Mental Health clients and interviewed personnel from 10 different police departments. From that, she crafted a business case that recommended, and ultimately led to, the creation of a new position. Police Mental Health Liaison Officer.

External stakeholders have constantly been impressed by Constable Quee’s commitment and professionalism. Throughout the implementation of the new program she has dedicated in excess of 300 hours of her own time to ensure its success.

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR Cheryl Gardner In 2008, Cheryl became involved with the Surrey RCMP as a Block Watch Captain. Her enthusiasm for crime prevention initiatives provided by the

Police Officer of the Year Awards 2013 Surrey RCMP assisted her to make the evolution into becoming a district volunteer as well.

Within her role as a Block Watch Captain, Cheryl reinvigorated the Block Watch for her complex, which was on the verge of dissolving. The condo building she lives in was experiencing nuisance crimes, so Cheryl arranged for a security assessment on the building and took the necessary steps to implement the change. Some of these changes include nightly patrols of the exterior of the building to ensure all exit doors are properly locked and keeping tabs on vehicles parked within the visitor parking to ensure that they belong. She frequently is the first to volunteer to assist with events within the community and assumes responsibility for many special projects that come up throughout the year. She assists with the maintenance of Block Watch files, generates Speed Watch letters warning registered owners that their vehicle was speeding, assists clients at the front counter or over the phone and a variety of other miscellaneous tasks. Wherever she is, she finds the opportunity to promote crime prevention programs, encouraging residents to join Block Watch to improve their neighbourhoods.

AUXILIARY CONSTABLE OF THE YEAR Auxiliary Constable Lubos Hrasko Lubos became an Auxiliary Constable on December 17, 2005. He has dedicated thousands of hours to the Auxiliary program, some years exceeding 600 hours. With this experience, Lubos was soon recognized by his peers as a leader - a go-to person, and trusted by the members as a reliable, experienced “2nd member” in the car. Lubos is one of the rare few that is able to balance a successful career, family life with three children and his auxiliary work with very few hiccups. It was quite common for Lubos to come off a night shift and go home to pick up one of his children to go to a dance competition or soccer match. During his time as an Auxiliary, Lubos has been stationed at the South Surrey District 5 Office. The Auxiliary Coordinator, Merv Bayda awarded Lubos’ experience and leadership through a senior Auxiliary status. This meant that Lubos would assist with new Auxiliary recruit interviews, training and field coaching. Auxiliary Constables with limited experience would be paired with Lubos at events and community patrols to gain insight and experience from him.

Unfortunately, not all of the District 5 Auxiliary Constables were as eager and dedicated as Lubos, so the relationship between the D5 office and the assigned Auxiliaries became stale. Lubos recognized that something had to be done about this. He approached the District 5 office with a new initiative which would allow an experienced auxiliary to be paired with another auxiliary to attend to areas known as “hotspots” to provide visibility and presence to these active areas.

These initiatives have been both beneficial and productive.

ARNOLD SILZER COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVE AWARD Special Constables Josh Waltman and Simon Wong Special Constables Waltman and Wong are positive, high energy, approachable Safety Officers. Both are recent recipients of Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medals. They are tuned in to the needs of local businesses and the community, and support the District 1 Community Response Unit. Josh and Simon often volunteer at other community events, whether it be as dancers in a youth flash mob or dressed like Santa and his Elf at a Senior’s Christmas dinner. As the Surrey RCMP polices a large geographical area, and the downtown core attracts a large police presence, Simon and Josh helped identify the need to improve the RCMP’s presence in the outer skirts of the neighbourbood. They did so by putting RCMP Pop-Up Police Stations in areas that weren’t visited as frequently by police. At these highly visible stations, they erected RCMP tents, manned the sites along with Crime Prevention Coordinators, police officers, and volunteers. Tremendous positive feedback came from the community who were conveniently engaged by approachable police officers in their neighbourhood.

POLICE AND BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP AWARD

For four years she volunteered her time every Wednesday evening of the school year to assist the RCMP Coordinator with this program for 14-18 year olds who showed a desire to become a police officer. In September 2011 the program was taken over by the Youth Section of the RCMP and Colleen remains as a consultant. Currently Colleen is in her sixth year on the board of the Block Watch Society of BC. As President she travels to various jurisdictions around the province as a volunteer to assist with their Block Watch programs or start new ones. Colleen recently secured the RCMP Musical Ride to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Block Watch Society.

This very rare and difficult feat brings extensive attention to the organization and Surrey. She also sits as Treasurer on the Board of the BC Crime Prevention Association, is an Emergency Social Services volunteer and a Block Watch Captain on her own residential street, and has worked for three years as a Big Sister in the school mentoring program. Colleen continues to very effectively and systematically approach the volume of issues with unique solutions in District 1. Colleen initiated and developed a training session for landlords called “So You Want To Be a Landlord” in response to landlord/tenant issues. This program is now being shared in other police jurisdictions. In February 2013, Colleen was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for her lifetime commitment to the community and her volunteer work. Her personal and knowledgeable approach have brought about a remarkable relationship with Program members, District 1 RCMP, and the community at large.

Tino Fluckiger and 1-800-SHREDDING Since 2009, 1-800-Shredding has donated their time and equipment multiple times per year for Shred-A-Thon events held in the City of Surrey. The company’s owner, Tino Fluckiger is very community minded and enjoys seeing the good that this event brings. The event is well received by the community and besides the goal of preventing Identity Theft, cash and food donations are collected for local Food Banks.

The general public begins to call early in the year to find out when the next event is being held. Thanks to 1-800-Shredding these events enable small businesses to save money while preventing Identity Theft. To-date, close to $20,000 has been raised for the Food Banks in North and South Surrey. Tino Fluckiger and staff from 1-800-Shredding have always stepped up to be there with their large truck for these events. They assist the public with unloading their vehicles and getting the paper into their truck for shredding.

They are certainly worthy of recognition for their partnership with RCMP Crime Prevention.

MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR AWARD Colleen Staresina In April 2007, Colleen began her employment at City of Surrey RCMP. Looking for a volunteer opportunity, she took up the call to assist with the SPURS Youth group of the Surrey RCMP.

POLICE TEAM AWARD Serious Crime Team 1 The Surrey Detachment Major Crime Section has three Serious Crime teams, each consisting of one Sergeant Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge, three Corporals, and three Constables. The mandate of the Serious Crime Unit is investigating the most serious criminal offences that occur in the City of Surrey, not limited to: Homicides (first instance), Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Assault with a Weapon, Kidnapping, Unlawful confinement, Suspicions Sudden Deaths, and Internal Investigations and Reviews as directed by the Officer In Charge of Investigative Services.

Serious Crime Team 1 enjoyed a highly successful 2012-13 year, taking on significant high profile investigations, which contributed significantly to crime reduction in Surrey. Charges have been sworn in numerous cases with convictions registered. Serious Crime Team 1 demonstrates the advanced and strategic investigative skill and experience of the team coupled with their ability to gather admissible evidence within the realms of the law and knowledge of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. The level of commitment, dedication, and perseverance exemplified by Serious Crime Team 1 has significantly contributed to crime reduction and enhancement of community safety in Surrey.
