Watts up? Surrey mayor isn’t ruling out a run for B.C. Liberal leadership
by Kevin Diakiw
EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
by Jeff Nagel and Kevin Diakiw SURREY MAYOR Dianne Watts, who many political pundits are saying
is the B.C. Liberals’ best hope for saving the party, said it’s far too early to consider whether she would run for the Liberal leadership. Premier Gordon Campbell resigned Wednesday afternoon, leaving many discussing his successor, with Watts among a pack of about a half-a-dozen potential contenders, including Liberal MLAs Kevin Falcon, Rich Coleman, John Les, Mike de Jong, and George Abbott. In the past, Watts ruled out a run for the Liberals. She did not take that same stance with The Gordon Leader on Wednesday. Campbell “I think right now it’s important to focus on the good things that have occurred in this province,� Watts said. “I think it’s really premature to have any discussion for any-
body about leadership.� Asked if she would confirm her previous claim that she would not run for the leadership position, Watts declined. “I’m not going to say anything further on that. I think now is the time to look at the legacies we’ve seen in the city and in the province,� Watts said. Campbell gave no specific date for his departure. Under B.C. Liberal Party rules, the executive must meet within 28 days and hold a leadership convention within six months. Campbell acknowledged the fallout from the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in July. He said recent efforts to cut taxes, create jobs and improve the education system have not been accepted, and he wants the public to give fair consideration to a referendum set for next fall on the HST. “It is clear to me that those initiatives have been overshadowed,� Campbell said. “And when public debate becomes focused on one person, as opposed to what’s in the best interest of the province of British Columbia, we’ve lost sight of what is important.
EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT callers phoning Surrey’s new regional crisis line are being put on hold or receiving a call-back several hours later. The crisis line service has responded to more than 10,000 calls in the last seven months, almost double its traditional volume since three calling areas were merged into one. In the past, the crisis line – provided by OPTIONS: Surrey Community Services Society (OSCSS) – served the communities of Surrey, White Rock, Delta and Langley, Jackie Yurick providing free and immediate telephone support, crisis intervention, suicide prevention and community resource information to people of all ages. But last April, the health authority centralized the call centre, so that people in crisis from Boston Bar to Burnaby could call one tollfree number.

Campbell: Gave cabinet no warning From page 1 “It’s time for a new person to lead the province.” Falcon, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA and health minister, said Campbell gave cabinet no warning of his decision to resign as party leader. “We were rocked,” Falcon told Black Press Wednesday after the premier’s announcement. Falcon would not say whether he will run for the leadership. “That’s not a discussion I’m prepared to have right now,” he said, adding he wants the focus to remain on Campbell’s legacy. He said he would have to consult his family before considering any run for the top job – and the workload and public focus that comes with it. He credited Campbell’s decision to remove himself as the “lightning rod of controversy” that the premier concluded was threatening the party and B.C.’s ability to move forward. “It was one of the most selfless acts of leadership Kevin Falcon: I’ve had the privilege of witnessing,” Falcon said. Resignation As a result, he said, the HST now stands a better will make a chance of surviving next September’s referendum, difference. which Campbell had said would be binding on the government. “I believe it will make a difference. People will look at the merits or demerits of the tax itself as opposed to whatever they may feel about Gordon Campbell.” Falcon said Campbell will rank among B.C.’s great premiers, up with W.A.C. Bennett and Bill Bennett. The announcement came a week after the premier held a televised address defending the HST and announcing a 15-per-cent income tax cut on the first $72,000 earned. Dave Hayer: Falcon said the future of the income tax cut is not Campbell in doubt because it is government policy. an amazing There had been growing signs of discord in the premier. Liberal caucus, including open criticism from the energy minister about Campbell’s cabinet shuffle that created some confusion about oversight of B.C.’s resource industries. A Liberal leadership review had been slated for later this month and Campbell would have been aware of both the results of the vote by Liberal members earlier this fall and the latest polling results. Dave Hayer, the Liberal MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, said Campbell’s resignation is a terrible blow for British Columbia and the Liberal party. “He’s an amazing premier, he has done so much Vicki for the province,” Hayer said. “No premier that I can Huntington: remember has done so much for Surrey.” Stepping Hayer described Campbell as one of the most sucdown the cessful premiers in the history of the province. only hope. Moving forward, he would not say which successor he would support. “Whoever is there, I will work with him or her, and we’ll see from there,” Hayer said. Delta-South independent MLA Vicki Huntington was surprised at Campbell’s announcement, but said it wasn’t unexpected. “I think the only hope the (B.C.) Liberal Party has was to have the premier step aside and focus on another leader who would be more acceptable to the people and take us in another direction,” Huntington Carole James: said. Thanks for 24 On the opposition side of things, B.C. shouldn’t be years of public looking for a switch in leadership within the NDP, service. according to Sue Hammell, NDP MLA for SurreyGreen Timbers. “(NDP leader Carole) James has the confidence of the majority of her caucus and the majority of the party,” Hammell said. “She’s delivered a pretty straight up, straightforward leadership. She’s practical and caring – I think she’ll be fine.” Hammell doesn’t see the top spot changing at an NDP party convention slated for November 2011. James said Campbell should be thanked for his 24 years of public service. She credited him with improving federal-provincial relations during his more than nine years as premier, but said he is leaving a province divided between rich and poor, urban and rural and uncertain over many issues. “I hope they get on with putting someone in place, because there are some big issues that need to be addressed in this province,” James said.

Jackie Yurick, head of the Surrey-based crisis line centre, is working to get more volunteers to handle the onslaught of phone calls coming in since three call centre locations were merged into one last April.
Volunteers: More to be trained in time for busy post-Christmas time From page 1 Previously there were three existing mental health crisis lines provided by OSCSS and agencies in Mission and the Tri-Cities. The change means the Fraser Health Authority stands to save $61,000 on what was a $361,000 annual budget for the service. But as local service providers said a year ago, the challenge has been obtaining volunteers. People from the Fraser Valley are not often willing to commute into Surrey to give of their time. Before the merger, the 80 volunteers at OSCSS crisis line received about 1,500 calls a month. The calls have almost doubled to 2,800 per month, but the number of volunteers hasn’t increased. It means some calls don’t get answered right away, which isn’t the best of situations. Callers have the option of remaining on hold, or leaving a call-back number. “One recent day in a half-hour period, there were nine requests for call-backs,” said Jackie Yurick, who heads the crisis line. Each call is expected to take about 25 minutes, so those return calls will take several hours, while other calls continue to come in. When the amalgamation occurred in April, OSCSS was given extra staff positions, including a full-time recruiter, which is starting to pay dividends. “I’m just in the middle of a training group that’s the largest I’ve ever had,” said Yurick, who has been with the service for 25 years. That training group started at 40, and now sits at 37. “That’s absolutely fabulous, I’m delighted with that.” She’s hoping to have those volunteers on board by December, just in time for generally high-volume time after Christmas. For more information on how to volunteer at the crisis line, contact Claudia at 604-584-5811, ext. 237. If you or someone you know is in crisis, the help line is 604-951-8855. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Entertainingg you... y close tto home! Tracy Fadola Olajide (aka Tracy Canfield), 30 (left), Tammy Lee Pipe (aka Starr), 24, and Victoria Lynn Younker (aka Nicole Johnson or Nicole Joseph), 35, all vanished from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in the late summer of 1995 before their bodies were found in remote wooded areas of Mission and Agassiz.
Police seek lead on ’95 serial killer Bodies of three Vancouver women dumped in Fraser Valley by Jeff Nagel INVESTIGATORS are seeking fresh
information to crack the case of the serial killer who murdered three Vancouver women 15 years ago and dumped their bodies in the MissionAgassiz area. The remains of Tracy Olajide, Tammy Pipe and Victoria Younker – all from the Downtown Eastside – were found in a three-month span from August to October 1995 in separate remote wooded areas of the Fraser Valley. The three killings were first thought the work of the same predator who ultimately turned out to be Robert Pickton, now behind bars for six murders and who claimed responsibility for killing 49 missing women. RCMP investigators now say one unknown man, likely with a 4x4 and knowledge of the back roads of the area, is responsible and they believe witnesses exist with information that could help unmask him. He must have had intimate knowledge of the crime scene areas and been comfortable in remote surroundings, possibly living or working in the area. Police say he may have hunted, fished or camped in the area, or worked there in logging or forestry operations or in corrections. “It’s quite possible he killed them elsewhere and then dropped them there,” said RCMP Cpl. Don Nicholson, of Project E-Valley, the team of 10 senior RCMP and Vancouver Police officers tackling the case. “We’re hoping something might twig someone’s mind and they might say ‘We knew so-and-so at that time, he was involved in logging in that area’ or ‘he was an avid hiker in that area.’ ” Red vehicle paint chips and oil

recovered from the sites may be linked to a 4x4 police think would have been needed to access the sites, and may have been scratched or damaged underneath. Yellow rubber flecks were also recovered from the bodies and may have come from rain gear or some type of material used to wrap them. Olajide, a 30-year-old mother of one, was found Aug. 10, 1995 on a trail near the Morris Valley logging road 15 kilometres north of the Lougheed Highway near Agassiz. The crack cocaine user had mostly stopped work in the sex trade and had last been seen near the Waldorf Hotel two days earlier. No attempt was made to conceal the body of Pipe, 24, found Sept. 2 in the middle of a side road 10 kilometres north of the Lougheed Highway, en route to the Woodside hang glider launch area. The sex trade worker and cocaine user known to give money and clothing to the poor had last been seen four days earlier at the Cobalt Hotel. Younker’s partly decomposed body was found Oct. 21 36 kilometres north of Lougheed Highway on Sylvester Road near Mission, at the bottom of a 25-foot embankment on a dead-end logging spur road. The 35-year-old’s identification was later found in a dumpster near Vancouver’s Vernon Rooms Hotel. She was last seen Sept. 11 of that year and police believe she was killed within 10 days. Investigators in the late 1990s thought a single killer was responsible for all women going missing and for a time discounted Pickton as a suspect because his DNA didn’t match samples found on the three bodies dumped in the Valley, the only physical evidence that had surfaced to that point. The VPD’s recently released Missing Women Investigation Review said excluding Pickton because he didn’t kill Pipe, Olajide or Younker was a critical mistake. “It was an error to assume that only one serial killer could have operated in a geographical area as large as the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, over the span of time involved.” Anyone with information can call the Project E-Valley tip line at 1-877687-3377. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Prohibition Low-profile parties deserve voices too dangerous JUDGING BY news reports, both the Liberals
RE: “ZAPPING grow-ops,” Oct.15
Frank Bucholtz sings the praises of the Surrey fire chief thus: “His single-minded focus on the public safety aspect of grow-ops is a boon to law-abiding Surrey citizens, far too many of whom have been forced to put up with one or more grow-ops near their homes.” Unfortunately, Mr Bucholtz neglected to mention that, as the well-intentioned crusade pushes the small-time, amateur growers out of the market, organized crime is handed an increased share of said market. Result? Increased profits for the big guys, more violence and unchanged marijuana use. Some boon. When are supposedly intelligent and sophisticated opinion leaders like Frank Bucholtz going to realize that the most effective way to curb the dangers of marijuana, caused mostly by the law prohibiting it, is to legalize it?
and NDP are very unpopular as parties. The reasons are numerous, and have been reported at length. What concerns me is that the reporting, in written media and on TV, only refers to these two parties. We have other parties, admittedly with no representation in the legislature, whose views should be considered. The Green Party of B.C. is a feasible choice for many in this tumultuous world in which we
live. Their policies are sound, their ideas carefully considered and viable, their Leader, Jane Sterk, of stellar background. Why are the Greens ignored? Has anyone asked, recently, any questions of Sterk? The Green movement is worldwide; surely there is time for some interest in their position on the contentious issues of the day. And what of the B.C. Conservatives? I’m not a conservative, however their leader
no doubt would appreciate having his views heard on the important problems and his party’s solutions to them. There may be few who support the Conservatives, but I’m sure those who are members need media support as well. What about adding a regular section in your paper devoted to timely quotes and different viewpoints from the lesser-known, but valuable contributors to our democracy. Gordi Moore, West Vancouver
Rain is a valuable resource WELL B.C., it looks like our late summer has finally come to a close and the rain is here to stay. And trust me, as gloomy as these months can be, it’s not all bad: Rain is actually a very valuable renewable resource. Rain during the winter months, just as melting snow and glaciers in the spring and summer months, can swell our rivers and power hydroelectric dams and run-ofriver projects across the province. Whatever energy we don’t need for our own use can then be sold outside of B.C. to those who wish to rely more on green energy and less on carbon-emitting energy. Considering the massive worldwide pressure to decrease dependence on fossil fuels, there is a large potential market for the energy in our rain and B.C.’s potential green energy revenue from simple rainfall could be in the billions. And rain, as you’ll probably notice if you glance up from the paper and look outside, is not something B.C. lacks. We’ve got it, and we’ve got lots of it. Money may not grow on trees, but in B.C. it does fall from the sky.

Rein in those on power trip RE: COP CHARGED with Tasering a 73-year-old man at SMH. As little as society cares about the rights of men accused or convicted of a crime, I nonetheless find myself concerned about oftenaggressive RCMP – and other police-force units, especially their counterparts in the special law enforcement units (eg. ERTs). The latter storm into crime suspects’ (the suspects have yet to even be charged) screaming, with automatic machine and hand guns drawn at the homes’ occupants, all of whom, including infants, can be permanently traumatized from the experience. And on some occasions, these “law-enforcers” force their way into the wrong home altogether. I’m convinced that some of these (mostly) men get into such fields of employment for the sheer power trip of it all. Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

Don’t dismiss South-of-Fraser transit THE RECENT announcement by TransLink,
concerning the Surrey Rapid Transit Study, dismissed the Interurban corridor as having no role to play in solving the region’s transit problems. During the workshops held in Surrey, participants found it difficult to understand why such a wonderful public asset and low-cost option was so easily cast aside. TransLink staff seemed to be struggling to find a reason too. So much so, that in the closing summary, the very person who spoke to the media, dismissing the Interurban corridor, was suggesting
that a sober second look be in order. A sober second look is exactly what is needed. Premier Campbell’s preferred option of a SkyTrain extension to Langley City will cost over $2 billion or about $125 million per kilometre in today’s dollars. He appears to be a lone voice advocating this Cadillac option. Surrey’s Mayor Watts, Langley Township Mayor Green and many others were certainly not taken in by this shameless ploy to insert a 20-year delay clause into creating “beyond the bus” transit options for South of Fraser taxpayers. With an additional 650,000 residents already starting to flow into the South of Fraser region, the need to influence future land use, by modifying community plans and implementing critically needed transit improvements, is now. TransLink’s previous attempts to hoist a transit master plan on the South of Fraser have fallen far short of what is needed for a region scheduled to grow from today’s 850,000 to over 1.5 million by 2040.
With no master plan we are being forced to make risky decisions, or are we? If there are options available that involve minimal cost, little disruption to current traffic flow, and speedy delivery, are these not worth exploring first? This is what many local rail advocacy groups are pleading for. The recent, very credible, report commissioned by Rail for the Valley from UK transport consultants clearly comes to the conclusion that the publicly owned interurban rail corridor is exactly this low risk option. Langley Township’s Mayor Green and his South Fraser Community Rail Task Force of elected representatives have a similar view promoting a passenger rail demonstration project for the line. Rail based solutions can be a vital part of future South-of-Fraser transit options and they don’t need to cost billions or spend any time on the shelf. The time for action is now.

Volcano may get credit for salmon run Inquiry told Alaskan eruption ash served up fish food feast by Jeff Nagel FRASER River fisher-
men may have an Alaskan volcano to thank for this summer’s supercharged sockeye salmon run that ended up being the biggest in nearly a century. The eruption of Kasatochi, an Aleutian Island volcano, fertilized a vast area of the north Pacific Ocean by spewing out huge amounts of ironrich ash, according to new research presented to the Cohen Commission into sockeye stocks. It’s one of the more intriguing ideas to arise
Bruce Cohen in the hearings now underway in Vancouver. The judicial inquiry into the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a mil-
lion fish returned, has been forced to also try to make sense of why almost 30 times more sockeye came back this year. Kasatochi’s ash fell at precisely the right time in the summer of 2008 to create huge algae and plankton blooms that provided Fraser sockeye with a tremendously rich food source, researchers told the commission. “There was a massive increase,” Dr. David Welch testified last week. “It was a very large eruption.” Welch tabled satellite imagery of the ash
Brrrrrrrrrr ... it’s shaping up to be a chilly winter in B.C. The region is heading into a La Niña year that could create the worst winter weather since 1955, according to some experts, and the Farmers’ Almanac is also calling for a cooler winter with above-average snowfall. Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips says it can be difficult to accurately predict a seasonal forecast, but notes La Niña years are usually cooler, frostier and snowier. “It really comes down to which way the winds are blowing,” Phillips says. “This year, the ugly sister of El Niño – La Niña – is expected. (La Niña winters) typically give us more arctic air than Pacific air ... our outlook shows the flavour for this winter is colder than normal through the province.” Phillips notes that when El Niño and La Niña are involved, it increases the chances of getting the weather
that is predicted. He looked at all La Niña winters since 1950, and says since then, there have been 18 La Niña winters
locally. Of those 18, 13 winters were colder than average and five winters were warmer than average. “That tells you that
plume and the resulting plankton bloom, which he said could well be responsible for the tremendous productivity of the Fraser sockeye run that came back this year. The run size is estimated at 34.5 million, although officials expect the final count to drop to around 29 million. Crucially, the eruption happened just as a major storm system was pounding Kasatochi, helping disperse the ash over a wide area of the Gulf of Alaska. The summer timing also helped – long hours
of northern sunshine grew more plankton than otherwise.
there are no guarantees, but it also tells you that for every warmer-than-average winter, there were three colder winters,” he says. Twelve of those 18 winters were snowier than normal, but six were not.
And in the past five La Niña winters, three were warmer, one was normal, and one was a little cooler, Phillips says. “It may not necessarily be the winter from hell, but likely, we’ll have more winter than we had last year.”
The Kasatochi volcano in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands is closer to both Russia and Japan than the Fraser River. JERRY MORRIS / ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY

And it all happened as young sockeye from the Fraser were arriving in that part of the ocean, just in time to gorge on the fish food bonanza at a critical stage of their growth. Scientists stress there are many other factors that could have contributed to the unusual return. But the theory is a signal this summer’s salmon bounty was likely a fluke and not a lasting rebound – volcanic eruptions can’t be counted on for consistent help. Also at issue in the inquiry is how far fishery managers should go in trying to protect the biodiversity of Fraser sockeye – essentially whether the weakest stocks should be sacrificed if strong runs returning to certain tributaries can sustain fishing. The commercial fleet is sometimes ordered to stop fishing to avoid endangering weak runs like Cultus Lake sockeye, which return intermingled with more abundant stocks like the Adams River run. Rob Morley, Canadian Fishing Co. vicepresident and chair of the Fisheries Council of Canada, suggested a better way to conserve Cultus sockeye might be to ban all recreational activity on the popular boating and swimming lake. “We are under-harvesting Fraser sockeye significantly,” he told the commission. “If the aim is to maximize all stocks, nobody would be allowed to harvest any sockeye.” Other witnesses argued even the tiniest runs should be defended. The Fraser River needs a “diversified portfolio” of individual sockeye runs, the inquiry heard, because no one knows for sure which stocks will be best genetically
equipped to survive future environmental conditions, such as the impacts of climate change on either the ocean or inland rivers. It’s a sensitive point for First Nations advocates, who want to ensure a supply of salmon can be caught by local bands throughout the entire watershed. “If some of these go extinct it means a lot to our people,” said Dr. David Close, an aboriginal fisheries expert. “We have to be very careful.” SFU salmon expert Dr. John Reynolds warned B.C.’s wild sockeye may also be increasingly in competition for food with hatchery-raised salmon from Russia and Japan that also feed in the north Pacific. Reynolds said both countries are dramatically increasing hatchery production. Sockeye aren’t the only fish that have been in trouble on the Fraser. Coho salmon were in crisis in the 1990s, Close noted, prompting severe fishing restraint. And in more recent years, he said, a once “unimaginably abundant” run of eulachon – an oily smelt-like fish harvested by First Nations – has all but vanished. Justice Bruce Cohen, in an interim report released Friday, said this year’s “extraordinary” rebound was in contrast to the “steady and profound” decline of sockeye over the past two decades. The commission has so far received 153 written submissions, most addressing aquaculture issues. Hearings are scheduled until late December. This week, current and former managers with Fisheries and Oceans Canada are testifying about the structure of the department. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Charges dropped against Mountie Court delays impact trial by Martin van den Hemel A DELTA Mountie has slow justice to thank for dodging a handful of criminal charges involving a hit-and-run and impaired driving, Black Press has learned. More than three years after being arrested by Delta Police at his home in Ladner in 2007, suspended RCMP Const. Kulwant Singh Malhi’s lawyer Vincent Michaels argued in Richmond Provincial Court that the lengthy delay had caused him prejudice. And Judge Ron Fratkin agreed, and subsequently issued a judicial stay of proceedings. Neil MacKenzie, communications counsel with the Criminal Justice Branch, said he didn’t have a copy of Fratkin’s written reasons, and so wasn’t able to say precisely why Fratkin ruled as he did. Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog, Attorney General critic, said “this is a really troubling example of the problems in the Attorney General’s ministry, where you can’t prosecute successfully because you’re underresourced.”
Blade found in treat Police warn about Halloween chocolate DELTA POLICE are advis-
ing the public to be cautious when eating their Halloween treats after a woman bit into a candy bar Monday (Nov. 1) and discovered a small metal blade inside. The woman, 21, believes the chocolate came from the Imperial Village area in Tsawwassen where she took a group of children trick-or-treating Oct. 31. The woman was unhurt by the incident.

The district sought to have the case dismissed on the grounds that it was filed after the six-month time limit from when the complaint allegedly happened. In her written decision to hear the case, however, tribunal member Marlene Tyshynski argued the alleged conduct continued into 2010 and the complaint was filed on a timely basis. Due to privacy concerns, the Surrey School District cannot comment on the matter, but will now have the opportunity to file a response to the allegations or apply to have it dismissed.

O THANK Y
A SURREY FATHER has filed a human rights complaint against the Surrey School District over alleged bullying his daughter was subjected to over the past couple of years, claiming the school principal didn’t do enough to halt the hurtful activity. The dad is identified only as J.T. so as to protect the identity of his daughter. He claims his daughter, who has cerebral palsy and a mental disability, was discriminated against at Erma Stephenson Elementary. He alleges that since 2008, three female students continuously targeted his daughter with name calling, such as “dumb, messy, weird
legs, stupid,” and spread rumours. J.T. says despite discussions with the students and their parents, the activity continued, escalating around Christmas 2009, when his daughter was called a lesbian. The dad says he and his wife, teachers and special education assistants brought the matter to the principal’s attention, but that no meaningful discipline followed. The three girls remained in the alleged victim’s classroom. The father also claims the girl was struck on the head with a music stand in September 2008 by one of the same “bullies” and that he was not satisfied with the principal’s response then either. J.T. says the incidents have caused his daughter to suffer seri-

Seven arrested for credit card fraud by Dan Ferguson
Joint VPD-Surrey RCMP investigation
A GROUP OF people from Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and North Vancouver are facing criminal charges for allegedly operating a credit card fraud ring as a result of a joint Surrey RCMP and Vancouver Police Department investigation. Police said the members of the ring were using fake credit cards to buy items from online auction sites then re-selling them at cut-rate
prices for cash. About $129,000 worth of goods were sold, police estimate. The activity was traced from Surrey to a Vancouver residence that was raided on Sept. 28. As police prepared to enter the home, one suspect jumped from a third floor window onto the roof of the residence, and then onto the roof of a neighbouring home.
The attempted escape ended when the fleeing man jumped again – onto a rear patio where a Vancouver police dog and his handler were waiting. A 33-year-old male from Vancouver was taken into custody. Also detained during the search was a 22-year-old woman from Coquitlam, along with a 28-year-old female from
Vancouver, a 28-year-old male from Burnaby, a 21-year-old male from Vancouver and a 28-year-old female from North Vancouver. The evidence found at the house led to a search at another Vancouver address, an apartment where a 34-year-old Vancouver woman was arrested. None of the arrested people were
named Thursday during a news conference in Surrey because none have been formally charged yet. Police displayed some of the seized computers, stolen ID, mail, magnetic card reader/writers, personal profile documents, passports and other items that will be used as evidence. “They’re very resourceful. They’re very tech-savvy, some of them,” said Vancouver Police Det. Brian Montague. dferguson@surreyleader.com

Smuggling conviction Long-delayed guilty verdict for Ajitpal Sekhon by Dan Ferguson ALMOST SIX years after
he was arrested for trying to smuggle 50 kilograms of cocaine into Canada through the Aldergrove border crossing, Ajitpal Singh Sekhon has been convicted. Last Thursday afternoon, Surrey Provincial Court Judge Paul Dohm convicted the 34-year-old Sekhon on one count of importing a controlled substance and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The guilty verdict marked an end to a drawn-out legal battle that began when another Surrey judge threw out the charges against Sekhon in a controversial 2007 ruling that would have required Canadian border guards to get a warrant before they searched any vehicles. Sekhon was stopped at the Aldergrove crossing on January 25, 2005. One guard testified that Sekhon was gripping the steering wheel tightly, his jaw was rigid and he failed to make
good eye contact while being questioned. A drug-sniffing dog located a compartment under the truck bed. Border guards drilled several holes in the side, then they had the truck towed to a separate lot and dismantled where they found the cocaine. Judge Ellen Gordon ruled that the border guards’ inspection of the truck was unconstitutional because they needed reasonable grounds to obtain a warrant rather than acting on a hunch. At the time, the
union that represents border workers warned that traffic through Canadian border crossings would grind to a halt if guards had to get warrants every time they wanted to search a vehicle. The B.C. Court of Appeal ruled that the guards did not need warrants, threw out the Gordon decision and ordered a new trial. A sentencing hearing for Sekhon has been set for Jan. 28 in Surrey. — with files from Black Press

THE SURREY BOARD of Education was saluted by the RCMP last week for supporting and endorsing initiatives that keep schools and students safe in Surrey. Ten years ago, the Surrey School District and Surrey RCMP signed a two-page agreement to have a school liaison program in local schools. Since then, explained RCMP E Division’s Sgt. Frank Paulicelli at last Thursday’s board meeting, an “enviable� working relationship has developed. Some of the results of that partnership, he said, include the school-based threat assessment protocol, the alternate suspension program, the PSST (Protecting Surrey Schools Together) website and the Wrap gang intervention program. “Surrey’s Board of Education has supported and endorsed each of these initiatives,� said Paulicelli. “We applaud their willingness to openly identify youth issues, such as drug use or gang involvement, so that they could be addressed through programs such as these.� He said the Surrey RCMP and City of Surrey have benefited also, through reduced overall crime statistics. The district was also thanked for sharing best practices and expertise with other districts provincially and nationally by forwarding lesson plans, videos and initiatives. Paulicelli said during traumatic events, such as the triple-homicide of three children in Merritt a few years ago, Surrey was quick to provide assistance and lend expertise. newsroom@surreyleader.com
Honours for Tzu Chi Fondation recognized by school district Black Press THE TSU CHI Founda-
tion’s “generous support of education and the disadvantaged students and families� in Surrey was recognized by the board of education last Thursday. The foundation issues bursaries each year – amounting to between $20,000 and $30,000 annually – which enriches students’ experiences and allows them to experience a range of activities they might otherwise miss out on. “Two wonderful examples of exactly how this support makes a difference for our students are the spring DREAM camp and the summer camps,� said board of education chairperson Laurae McNally. DREAM stands for Drama, Recreation, Extended Learning,
Arts and Music. These day camps are offered to children who would benefit most from participating in constructive, educational activities through school breaks, and whose parents aren’t in a position to pay for typical children’s camps experiences. While the DREAM camps involve a variety of partners, last year, 546 children from 10 elementary schools received bursaries from the Tzu Chi Foundation that enabled them to participate. But the connection with students is more than the foundation’s financial support. A few years ago, Green Timbers Elementary students held a bottle drive to contribute $213 to the foundation’s efforts to support a Surrey Memorial Hospital expansion.

Struggle recorded 911 tape of Firoz Khan incident released by court by Dan Ferguson A 911 CALL made by a security guard while Surrey resident Firoz Khan was being roughed up by some off-duty police officers outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver shows Khan was repeatedly ordered to put his hands out and cross his legs by one of them. But the man who issued those orders apparently did not tell Khan that he was a police officer. The two-minute tape was released this week by the judge hearing the case of New Westminster Const. Jeffrey Klassen, who is charged with assault and possession of stolen property in the January 2009 incident that occurred while the Surrey resident was delivering newspapers. Klassen, the “use of force” instructor at the Justice Institute that trains municipal police in B.C., maintains that he employed an appropriate amount of force given the circumstances. He says he drank between nine and 11 beers over the course

Griffan Gillan, Sportsnet reporter Dan Murphy and former WWE wrestler Mike Roselli. Gillan, who had consumed more than 20 drinks that night and said he couldn’t remember the beating, has already pled guilty to the assault and received a 21-day conditional sentence. Tanino, who tried to separate Gillan and Khan, was not charged.

Suicidal teen tasered Arrested under the Mental Health Act Black Press A 14-YEAR-OLD who was hitting himself in the head with a mallet was tasered once during a struggle with police in Surrey Monday afternoon. Surrey RCMP said they arrived at a house in the Guildford area around 4 p.m. in response to an emergency call to find a teenager “who was in a significant amount of distress, expressing a desire to kill himself after already having made attempts at same,” accord-
ing to a written statement issued by the RCMP. When the officers tried to apprehend the 5’10” 180-lb. teen under to Mental Health Act there was a physical struggle where both the officers and family members tried to get him under control without success. Pepper spray was used, to no effect. At one point in the struggle, the male grabbed a mallet and attempted to strike himself with it.
That was when a Taser was used once, in push stun mode where the weapon is applied directly to a person to apply the shock to a limited area. “All other force options had been ineffective at this time and the male continued to pose a significant risk to himself, those around him as well as the officers,” the police statement said, adding the teen surrendered with “no further injury.” newsroom@surreyleader.com

Metro board passes hefty fee hike Last-minute attempts fail to rein in spending by Jeff Nagel A TYPICAL home will
pay $513 to Metro Vancouver next year for regional services – an increase of $44 – despite opposition from some
mayors and councillors. The regional district’s 2011 budget passed Friday, raising regional spending 5.8 per cent to $603 million. The $33-million increase includes
money to hire an additional 24 full-time staff that several directors questioned as excessive. But the board rejected a push from some directors to cut some contentious items

– including $295,000 worth of planned spending on international travel. “There are so many stupid things in there when you add them all together they add up to real money,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean, listing spending on a webbased regional arts and culture calendar and drinking water wagons to try to reduce bottled water use. Also voted down was a proposed amendment by City of Vancouver directors that the budget be redrawn to cap the increase in regional government spending – a smaller part of the budget that excludes water, sewage and waste handling – at no more than two per cent, instead of the 3.9 per cent jump now approved. The measure would have saved just 70 cents per household, according to Surrey

An average home will pay $44 more annually for regional services. Coun. Marvin Hunt, who noted the main effect would have been to cut spending on the regional parks system, which makes up half of that part of the budget. “I don’t think that’s where our constituents want us going for 70 cents,” he said. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who voted for the budget and against Vancouver’s effort at modest cost control, said it was too late in the budget pro-
cess to perform major surgery. He accused Vancouver councillors – who hold influential positions on the finance, water and waste committees – of repeatedly pressing Metro to spend more on priorities that fit their green agenda without consideration of the ultimate costs. “Now that they’ve seen the final numbers, they’ve got buyer’s remorse,” Corrigan said. “I consistently voted against stuff all year, saying it’s going to cost us a lot of money.” Corrigan said the budget needed to pass but he welcomes a debate in the months ahead on what services Metro should not attempt to provide. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner backs a review to tighten Metro’s mandate, particularly in light of the move to add another two dozen employees. “The taxpayer is getting squeezed from all directions,” she said. “Honestly, I think we have to look at doing some of the work within existing resources.” Much of the escalating costs are out of Metro directors’ control. Tighter drinking water standards set by the federal government forced Metro to build the $800-million Seymour-Capilano water filtration project and now add ultraviolet disinfection to the Coquitlam reservoir. Water rates will rise 14 per cent next year as a result, and the average home will pay $213 for water alone, up $23. Tougher federal standards are likewise spurring Metro to spend $1.4 billion upgrading sewage treatment plants that send minimally treated effluent into the ocean. The Lions Gate plant that discharges into Burrard Inlet will be
rebuilt within 10 years, while the Iona plant discharging into the Strait of Georgia between Richmond and Vancouver is to be upgraded to secondary treatment within 20 years. “We have to take better care of the planet,” North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto said. “We can’t be dumping untreated sewage into the inlet any more.” More than $80 million is to be spent on sewer capital projects next year, including new mains and pumping stations to handle growth of the region’s population. Waste tipping fees are going up 18 per cent to $97 per tonne, ironically because recycling is on the upswing and less garbage is being generated. As residents and businesses reduce the amount of garbage they generate per capita, less money is raised from tipping fees, so the fees have to rise to cover the system’s fixed costs. Waste spending is also going up to fund new initiatives to help increase the recycling rate to a target of 70 per cent by 2015. “We’ve got to sort out the compostables, we’ve got to sort out the recyclables and that costs money,” Mussatto said. Other directors question earmarking an extra $10 million or more for expansion of the regional parks and greenways system. Metro is also spending more to fix leaky affordable housing complexes it runs, as well as increasing air quality testing and enforcement. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson noted taxpayers are being hit not just by Metro but in some cases rising civic taxes and also a possible property tax hike from TransLink. jnagel@surreyleader.com
2011 costs (based on $600,000 home): • Regional taxes – $39 (up $2) • Sewage fees – $170 (up $8) • Garbage disposal – $91 (up $11) • Water rates – $213 (up $23) TOTAL: $513 (up $44)

Companies saw income fall 70 per cent by Dan Ferguson FOR SIX WEEKS, solo flights by student pilots were banned at Delta’s Boundary Bay airport. So were sight-seeing flights. There were also occasional bans on night flights and many other restrictions between January and February, all in the name of Olympic security. Now, three of the flying schools at Boundary Bay are suing the federal government which imposed the security
restrictions. “We estimate we lost 70 per cent of our business,” said Pat Kennedy, CEO of the Pacific Flying Club, one of the largest pilot training centres at the airport. “It will take us a couple of years to dig out.” She was unable to provide a precise dollar estimate of her losses. Pacific, Montair Aviation and ProIFR at Boundary Bay have joined a lawsuit by eight other aviation companies who are
demanding approximately $1 million in compensation. “We’re only looking to cover our losses” Kennedy said. Pacific Coastal Airlines, which flies out of the Vancouver International Airport South terminal, is part of the legal action, Kennedy added. More details of the lawsuit are expected to be announced in November at a press conference planned by the Air Transport Association of Canada.
Boundary Bay airport fell within the security zone being set up around Vancouver International Airport (YVR) for the 2010 games. Other restrictions included a ban on incoming flights from other non-secure airports which first had to land at a designated airport (Kelowna, Victoria or Prince George) to receive security clearance. — with files from Philip Raphael dferguson@surreyleader.com
New radio tower deal Month-to-month contract ends, but signals continue Black Press THE telecommunications tower on city land at the South Surrey Athletic Park will continue to handle signals for seven service providers for another decade. Surrey council has approved a new licence agreement with Rogers Communications – under which the land for the
tower is leased – effective until Dec. 20, 2020. The most recent lease for the tower, built in 1986, expired in 2005, and since then Rogers has been on a month-to-month tenancy. A corporate report from engineering general manager Vincent Lalonde said retaining the current tower eliminates the need for other communica-
tions towers in South Surrey by consolidating multiple communications service providers at one location. The tower supports radio and telecommunications for Rogers, Telus, Bell Mobility, Terasen, B.C. Rail, E-COMM emergency communications services and Surrey’s fire and engineering operations radio equipment.

Bus president fired ‘Change of leadership’ needed: TransLink by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK has terminated the
TransLink officials are not saying why Denis Clements, the head of Coast Mountain Bus Company, has been fired.
president and CEO of its Coast Mountain Bus Co. subsidiary in a move officials say is designed to chart a new course. Denis Clements leaves the top position at TransLink’s bus transit operation arm, which he held for nine years. He worked at Coast Mountain for 17 years. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie would not say what precipitated Clements’ removal. “Most of the details are confidential,” he said. “Fundamentally, what we have is a change of direction
and a change in leadership.” Doug Kelsey, who has now been named TransLink chief operating officer, will also serve as president and general manager at Coast Mountain on an interim basis until a replacement for Clements is found, Hardie said. Kelsey had already been doing double duty, serving both as executive vice-president after a significant downsizing of TransLink’s executive ranks a year ago and continuing to run the B.C. Rapid Transit Co. – TransLink’s SkyTrain subsidiary where the president/ general manager position has been vacant since Kelsey left that job.
GVHBA awards its members Black Press is honoured to be among the award recipients at a recent Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association event. At its annual Association Awards of Excellence, the GVHBA honoured 13 member companies for their industry-related efforts throughout the past year. “The awards honour association members for their exceptional level of volunteer commitment and dedication to enhancing the professionalism of the homebuilding and renovation industries in the Metro Vancouver region,” says GVHBA president and CEO Peter Simpson. Black Press received the Association Marketing Award for its promotion of the GVHBA, including New Local Home, RenoNation and a special edition U40 publication. “With homes the single largest investment most people make, we know there is tremendous interest in the real estate market. In addition to our custom stories on the many new housing developments, our readers are interested in home trends and increasing the livability of their home while adding to its value,” notes Black Press Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Candy Hodson notes. “It feels great to know we’re serving our readers and the development community so well.” HomeTRADER.ca also received the marketing award, as two Association Marketing Awards were given. The Chairman’s Award of Honour went to Simone Sunderland of Green Sheet Construction Data Ltd. in Port Moody. “It felt absolutely amazing to be presented the 2010 Chairman’s Award of Honour,” Sunderland says. “In accepting the award, when I looked Simone Sunderland around the room, it was very apparent to me that the incredible support of the other GVHBA members has facilitated my desire to be an active member association. in the association.” The continual dedication of all GVHBA members and GVHBA staff “make me

Member of the At ParkLane Homes, a VancouverYear: ParkLane based builder that is celebrating Homes Ltd, Vancouver its 30th anniversary this year, staff were
thrilled to win the Builder Member of the Year award. “It is a great honour for ParkLane to be recognized by its peers as the GVHBA Builder Member of the Year,” says Ben Taddei, ParkLane’s COO. Ben Taddei “The GVHBA is an organization that ParkLane actively participates in and we are proud to support it.” ParkLane has built more than 6,000 homes in more than 100 communities since 1980 and has been recognized with more than 250 provincial and national awards. The company’s approach to homebuilding goes beyond the house itself, Taddei notes. “For us, it is about creating a better community. That means building quality homes, but also improving the land through thoughtfully planned parks and amenities, and giving back to the local community,” he says. The RenoMark Renovator of the Year award went to JKB Construction Ltd. owner Jeff Bain. The Port Coquitlam-based residential renovation company has more than 28 years experience in the Metro Vancouver area. “It was a great and unexpected surprise to be awarded,” Bain says. “It was an incredible honour to be recognized for my service and contribution to the industry and a great organization like the GVHBA.” Monarch Floor and Window Coverings owner Matt Robinson says he also felt honoured when receiving the Supplier Member of the Year Award. “It feels great to be recognized for the work that you do,” Robinson says. “We have a lot of clients and friends within the membership and when those people recognize you for what you do, it feels great.” Parklane Homes’ Bedford Landing is inspired construction

Hardie said cost-cutting was not a motivation for removing Clements – whose salary was $280,000. TransLink is now run by six executives, plus five more at Coast Mountain and four more at B.C. Rapid Transit, although the two subsidiary president positions are currently vacant. That’s down from a total of 28 executives across the organization in the fall of 2009, when B.C.’s Comptroller General found the number excessive and urged a paring of TransLink’s senior management team. jnagel@surreyleader.com

THE TWO FORMER Albion ferries that were replaced last year by the new Golden Ears Bridge will be sold for scrap. TransLink tried to sell the vessels for $1.1 million each but got no offers and only minimal interest from prospective buyers after posting them on Craigslist and marine industry websites. Officials expect the scrap value will only offset the labour and transportation costs of breaking up and removing the boats, which have been docked since mid-2009. “If we can’t sell them we may as well realize some value for them and not just continue to incur fixed costs,� TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said. The 150-foot 25-car ferries were built in 1972 and described as being in immaculate condition with new engines installed in the last few years. Keeping them anchored near their old slips was costing TransLink money in security and maintenance to periodically start the engines and ensure they were in as-advertised condition. The last trip of the MV Kulleet and MV Klatawa was July 31,

2009 – a month after the tolled Golden Ears Bridge opened, providing a direct link between Langley and Maple Ridge. The change ended free crossings, as well as lengthy multisailing waits. Employees and supporters had campaigned to keep the ferries and possibly continue some form of privately run service. “We did not see another use for them,� Hardie said. The global financial collapse scuttled one prospective deal that nearly sent them north for use as freight carriers, he added. TransLink is also scrapping more than 100 old diesel buses that have been retired and found no buyers either. “They were the older highfloor buses that had the lifts instead of ramps,� Hardie said, adding there’s currently a glut of old buses on the market. While some people feel it’s wrong to scrap old buses, he said, selling them to new users can expose TransLink to liability if there are problems. The main expense of operating buses is the labour, fuel and maintenance, he said, adding the cost of even a brand new bus represents only about 15 per cent
of the lifetime cost of running it. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin hadn’t heard about the ships’ destruction, but pointed out there would have been high costs to retrofit them to keep them in service somewhere else. “Maybe I’ll have to go buy a bell or a steering wheel or something.� He said losing the ships is similar to an old house being knocked down to make way for a new condo development. “It’s a part of our history. It’s sad to see it go. “That battle [to save the Albion ferries] is over and it’s sad they can’t be used for something other than being used for scrap.� Meanwhile, TransLink has found no tenants for the Albion ferry terminal. That land remains vacant, although the District of Maple Ridge has asked Metro Vancouver to include that as parkland for possible use with the Experience the Fraser project, whose goal is to get a bike and walking trail on both sides of the Fraser River from Vancouver to Hope. Daykin pointed out the old Albion ferry terminal could be fitted with a boat launch, — with files from Phil Melnychuk

Tyler Eckford called up from AHL by the New Jersey Devils
Former Eagle hits the ice in NHL S by Nick Greenizan
tanding in the middle of the visitors’ locker at Rogers Arena Monday night, Tyler Eckford could be excused for exuding a lack of enthusiasm. After all, the New Jersey Devils – who called the former Surrey Eagles defenceman up from the minors last week – had 20 minutes earlier lost 3-0 to the Vancouver Canucks. The defeat was the Devils’ fifth in sixth games, sinking them into last place in the National Hockey League. And with Devils’ captain Jamie Langenbrunner sitting with his head in his hands – and skates still on – just a few feet away, and veteran blue-liner Colin White looking, and sounding, as though the world was was crumbling around him, it would seem inappropriate to sound excited about playing your first National Hockey League in your hometown. Instead, Eckford, a 25-year-old Langley native, spoke nearly in a whisper. “It’s a childhood dream to play in your hometown. Unfortunately, we didn’t win the game,” he said, dressed in a light-grey suit and purple tie. “It was a tough loss, and that’s the most important thing. From my standpoint though, it was a great honour to get to play here.” For Eckford, who was an integral part of the Surrey Eagles’ championship team in 2005 before heading off to play at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, Monday’s tilt was his sixth NHL contest. He played three games last year, and joined the injury-ravaged Devils – who had eight regulars out of the lineup against the Canucks – again last week for a road trip that began in California and ended Wednesday in Chicago. “We don’t play in Vancouver too many times, so I was just fortunate to get called up, and be able to play here,” he said. “I’m just working hard to get an opportunity to play up here (in the
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Former Surrey Eagles defenceman Tyler Eckford (21) patrolled the blue line for the New Jersey Devils against the Vancouver Canucks Monday night at Rogers Arena. NHL), and then I’m just trying to make the most of it when I do get the call.” And though he was wearing opposition colours at Rogers Arena, he still had plenty of supporters in the arena, including family, friends, and a large contingent of former Langley Minor Hockey teammates with whom Eckford is still close. “I had a lot of family and friends out there,” he said, adding that he knew his hockey buddies were “kicking around.” “I don’t know where they were all sitting, but I know they were here
somewhere.” Though New Jersey didn’t escape Vancouver with a victory, Eckford himself had one of his better games since joining the club. He got a season-high 14:04 of ice-time playing with a variety of defensive partners, most notably veteran Andy Greene. “Absolutely, it’s nice (to play more). I don’t know how much I played, but any time they put you out on the ice and they have confidence in you, it boosts your own confidence. It felt really good tonight,” he said. “You just play hard, play smart
and try not to make any mistakes.” Eckford, who has played the rest of the season in the American Hockey League with the Albany Devils, admits to having a few nervous moments before stepping out onto the ice. “I’ve been up for a couple games now, but obviously there’s always butterflies. There’s probably something wrong if you don’t have them,” he said. “But after warmup, I settled in and shut everything else out.” Still, the loss was tough to for the young blue-liner to swallow. “I think we played well. We had
30 shots on net, we had lots of scoring chances. We just couldn’t score,” he said. Though Eckford’s stay with the big club may not be a prolonged one – when some of the NHL regulars return from the injured list, he’ll likely head back to Albany – he still expressed hope that, despite a rough start, the organization could turn its season around. “There’s so much talent on this team, and we’re used to winning,” he said. “We just have to keep shooting the puck on net, and eventually they’re going to go in.”

All submitted studentathletes who achieved
Friday November 5 2010 a 3.50 GPA during the last academic year are named. Cronin is the reigning Summit League Pitcher of the Year, and an All-Region second team selection. She had a 1.97 earned run average (ERA) with an 18-11 won-loss record, striking out 168 batters in 177 innings. Eleven of her 18 wins were by shutouts. A doublethreat player, Cronin also batted .295 with seven home runs and 20 runs batted in. Karpun, an All-Summit League First Team selection at catcher, set school single-season records with 15 home runs, 43 runs batted in and a .812 slugging percentage, while hitting .399, third best in team history. She also scored 33 times, and hit a dozen doubles. Staschuk, a pitcher and first baseman, was named to the AllSummit League second team as a first baseman. She batted .343 with
three home runs and 18 RBI’s, scoring 22 times while drawing 27 walks against just 15 strikeouts. She also had a fielding percentage of .984. She was also 8-3 in the circle as a pitcher with 106 strikeouts in 87 innings, allowing opponents to hit just .241 against her.

Seahawks rally falls short John Barsby Bulldogs remain undefeated by Rick Kupchuk THE SEAQUAM Seahawks almost handed the John Barsby Bulldogs their first loss of the season Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs, now 8-0 (wonlost) in league and exhibition play, edged the Seahawks 24-22 at Seaquam Secondary, clinching first place in the Coastal Conference of B.C. Senior AA high school football. Seaquam, which would have remained in contention for top spot with a victory, opened the scoring on a 25-yard pass reception by Anthony Speranza. A two-point convert had the home side up 8-0, but Barsby responded with four consecutive
unconverted major scores to lead 24-8 after three quarters. Seaquam replied with a pair of quarterback sneaks for major scores, the first set up by a 41-yard punt return by Taylor Northway and followed with a two-point convert. Down by two points with three minutes to play, the Seahawks moved the ball to the Bulldogs 23-yard line, where a pass attempt to set up a potential game-winning field goal was intercepted. Justin Murray and Greg Finley led the Seahawks defence with four tackles each. The Seahawks fell to 2-2 (wonlost) in league play, and close out the regular season tomorrow (Saturday) in Parksville against
the Ballenas Whalers. ■ The Frank Hurt Hornets saw their record drop to 3-2 in conference play with a 22-21 loss to the Moscrop Panthers Friday at the Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex. Devoun Hallums threw touchdown passes of 19 yards to Daniel Mikl and three yards to Josh Krantz, while Jake Reiter ranfor the third major score from 13 yards out. Although in a three-way tie for first place in the Tier II Western Conference, the Hornets need a win in their final regular season game tomorrow at home against the 3-2 Howe Sound Sounders to clinch a playoff berth. Kickoff is 1:30 p.m. at Frank Hurt Secondary.
Lunn, Todd O’Dell and Bob Crocker, while Danielle Callens, Crystal Murray and Corri Roberts round out the Cloverdale women’s group. This will be the first time in the PIC’s 13-year history that both men’s and women’s champions are from the same club.
The Dominion Curling Club Championship is Canada’s first national championship for club curlers. After winning their respective provincial and territorial playdowns, men’s and women’s club champions from across the country – including all 10 provinces, three territories
35
and a separate entry for Northern Ontario – will compete Nov. 23–28. All profits from The Dominion Curling Club Championship will be re-directed to the Canadian Paraplegic Association and developmental curling initiatives in communities across the country.

Upcoming 7th annual college bursary fundraiser unearths seniors’ hidden talents
Vaudevillians hit the road by Sheila Reynolds
T
he Vaudevillians have tapped into some undiscovered talents while rehearsing for their upcoming show. Sure, they were well aware they can sing. Most can readily dance. And telling a joke is old hat for many of the senior performers. But this year’s show, called On The Road, is quite different that any they’ve presented in the past, and revealed a little more than expected. Destined for the Surrey Arts Centre stage on Nov. 13, the first half the production is about a down-and-out, road-weary 1920s vaudevillian troupe arriving in a gold mining town on the West Coast and holding auditions because they’re short of performers. With a new, beefed up cast in place, the second half is the actual vaudeville show. While chalk full of humour and music, the opening act represents the first time The Vaudevillians have done a play rather than the traditional song-and-dance format. “It’s a departure for us,” said Trimble, who usually fills the role of MC. He said he’s been continually surprised by the “considerable” acting talent within the group of two dozen. “I never even gave it a thought because every week we sing and we dance and you don’t think of them as actors.” Eileen Shore, who regularly depicts the diminutive, dead-pan leprechaun that shuffles on and off stage during standard Vaudevillian shows, is a natural actress, said Trimble. And she’s not the only one. “We really discovered some gems,” he said. “I’m acting, but I’m not one of the better ones,” he laughed. The change in the show’s regular format came after director Gordon Long decided Jim Trimble he wanted to challenge the senior troupe, whose members range in age from 63 to 89. What followed was some in-depth research into old vaudeville, and they found there were often 15- to 20-minute short plays included in the traditional shows. Remaining entirely unchanged, however, is the fact the matinée and evening performances next weekend in Surrey will serve as a fundraiser for bursaries for Douglas College performing arts students. This is the seventh year The Vaudevillians have organized the benefit performance. About $60,000 has been raised to date. To be eligible for the bursaries, students must be in financial need and studying some facet of the performing arts, whether it be drama, stagecraft or music. Three college students will be presented with bursaries at the upcoming performance. On The Road comes to the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave., for two shows Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the matinée are $20 for all ages, while the evening show is $22.50 for adults and $20 for seniors and students. Call 604-501-5566 or go online to https://tickets.surrey.ca for ticket information.

by Brenda Anderson ROBIN WILLIAMS APPRECIATES his work. And why
not? They have something in common, after all. Like Williams, when it comes to mental agility and frenetic pacing, stand-up comic Simon King practically dares his audience to keep up. Crazy guys on the bus and amateur night at the strip club are among the brief landing points for King’s jokes, while his arsenal of uncanny impressions and sound effects has been known to wreak havoc in auditoriums all across North America. “I was always goofy and gregarious. I’m a bit of an absurdist. I find the out-of-the-ordinary in the ordinary.” To be fair, the comic who was born in England and didn’t lose his accent until he was 14, couldn’t help but stand out. “I sounded like a bad drag queen version of the queen herself.” That is, if the queen had a potty mouth. As a working comedian, even if King understands the value of a solid corporate gig where a bit of decorum is in order, he’s Comedian Simon King not all that keen on will be at the Surrey Arts self-editing. Centre Nov. 12. “I’m a fan of being raw and uncensored. I don’t actually swear that much off stage,” said the 33-year-old, during a 10-minute conversation, which contained nary a profanity. “But when someone’s passionate about something, the last thing they’re thinking is, ‘I better not say that.’ “You open the floodgates and whatever happens, happens. I’m older now and more sure of myself. What I have to say is what I have to say.” Although just what that will be from one show to the next is anyone’s guess. “I don’t know what’s going to happen on stage,” he said. Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave., presents Simon King: Unfamous in the Studio Theatre on Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets ($22, $18) are available at 604-501-5566. Viewer discretion is advised.

It wasn’t until she was older, however, that she stumbled into a flamenco class and fell in love. Now a professional flamenco dancer and instructor, Pitkethly is taking Romeo and Juliet on the road after three sold-out Vancouver performances last summer. The tragic tale of love is set in turn-of-the-century Mexico and includes a flamenco-style bandidas feud, musical gypsies and magical storyteller. The production will travel to Chilliwack for a show the day after Surrey’s and then to Gibsons in the spring.

Homes: industrial is in Make your home modern and chic with pieces inspired by the past MAGGIE CALLOWAY When deciding how to decorate, homeowners may find it tough to choose an interior design style that suits their lifestyle, their taste and their home.
Industrial-style home design has been identified as an up-and-coming trend by many industry experts, a mode of décor that can bring to mind a New York Soho loft – or a Yaletown loft in Vancouver – and the lifestyle that goes with it. Perhaps some homeowners prefer to hearken back to a slower time, when furniture was passed down through the generations, when the nicks and bumps were things of family folklore. A time some like to recall as safer. Chic industrial design usually incorporates

Finalists for this year’s Georgie Awards have been announced, and several Metro Vancouver builders and renovators have made the final cut. The premier housing event for B.C., the Georgies recognize the best of the best in home construction, renovation, design, development and sales/marketing. “From architectural elegance to energy efficiency, B.C. builders and renovators have weathered the storm of the economic recession in 2009 and have come out on top in 2010,” says Georgie Awards executive producer Scott Whitemarsh. “This year’s finalists prove that high standards, innovative ideas and sheer guts push the cream to the top.” Awards are being presented in 43 categories this year, including two new categories: Best Outdoor Living Space and Best Condo Renovation, to reflect what is happening in the local industry. Finalists in all categories were selected from hundreds of nominations by a judging panel of out-of-province industry experts. Many finalists are also members of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. “Even in a difficult market, the quality and creativity demonstrated by the finalists show why residential construction continues to be the economic engine of British Columbia,” Whitemarsh says. According to the Georgie Awards website, the winners will be announced in January, followed by an awards gala in Vancouver on March 5. Visit www.georgieawards.ca for a list of finalists and look for further Georgie details in New Local Home later this month.

stand the neighbourhood, its unique culture and the desire of its residents to protect what they had built there since 1888. Amacon was sensitive to the pride the locals took in the distinctive, one-of-a-kind stores owned and operated by craftsmen and artists in the historical Vancouver neighbourhood. The company looked at how many stores sold the furniture of yesterday, still beautiful and sturdy, with many more years of service left in the solid wood and cloaked in a patina only possible after years of care. To naturally fit into the existing community, Amacon designed a building that honours the neighbourhood. District show suites in the new homes were designed with a tip of the hat to the simplicity of culture, in a trendy, industrial chic style. “Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and seeing something different,” says Gary Friedman, chairman of Restoration Hardware. The Vancouver business owner commissioned a new direction in a furniture line that has excited both designers and clients alike with its chic, industrial style. “We’ve embraced that same sense of discovery in our creative pursuits, each day looking all around us to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the new in the old,” says Friedman. “Our appreciation of great architecture and

collection of salvaged fragments from historical buildings inspired this season’s unique collection of lighting.” Such items include a barn door trolley pendant, fashioned from a reproduction of an antique cast iron trolley, threaded with cloth cording and fitted with vintage-style filament bulbs, he notes. “It is truly a one-of-a-kind piece,” Friedman says. A hand-carved Corinthian column lamp is a reproduction that once graced a building façade in Europe, he notes, while balcony railings from France, crafted of forged iron, were transformed into the store’s French architectural railing sconces. A whole collection of artifact lamps, mounted on museum bases, feature a lion’s head cornice, a Louis XV rococo fragment, a 19th-century Parisian gate

railing, and a Belgian heraldic shield that dates to the 1890s, for example. “This collection lets people put furniture in their homes that is not just functional,” says Restoration Hardware store leader Dorothy Bozek. She notes the “industrial edge” interior design style can mean incorporating pieces into the scheme that are interesting from a structural point of view, from a pair of calipers to an old pulley. “Each piece has a story. What using these industrial (pieces) has allowed us to do in design is to have that juxtaposition, that tension between the old and the new,” Bozek says. “You will have an old steamer trunk, like they had on the Titanic, and then you put your Apple laptop on it ... old and new, and old tech and new tech.” Placing some high-gloss pieces next to a distressed item of furniture will give the design architectural shape that tells a story with lowtech and high-tech details, she says. “We are pulling from the past. We want you to have a conversation (about your interior design); we want your guests to ask about the coffee table,” Bozek says. For Metro Vancouver homeowners looking to update their homes with an industrial chic look that melds modern and historic with a trendy flair, Restoration Hardware is just one option among many. Surplus stores may yield school desks, tables and stools, while farm sales are good to peruse for interesting pieces of machinery that can be repurposed. Garage sales may even lead to the discovery of a perfect industrial-style treasure. In uncertain economic times, homeowners may be striving toward a greater understanding of permanence and an appreciation of things of substance; perhaps that explains the popularity of industrial-flavoured interior design over the past year.

Boys and Girls Clubs merge ON OCT. 26, history was made when the societies of Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver and Boys and Girls Club Community Services of Delta/Richmond announced their unanimous decision to merge. Effective April 1, 2011 the new merged organization will operate as Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. Boys and Girls Clubs have been providing communities across the Lower Mainland with preventative, specialized programs and services to help vulnerable children, youth and families since 1936. Born out of strategy rather than crisis, this merger brings together two vibrant Boys and Girls Club organizations that are in good fiscal health and who enjoy solid reputations within the community. The new organization will have an operating budget of over $9 million dollars and will serve more than 8,000 children, youth and families annually at the outset.

A win with wood FIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS went home from the Union of
BC Municipalities conference in Whistler with a prestigious award in their hands. Among the awards, Wood WORKS! BC presented the 2010 Community Leader Awards to the City of Surrey for the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre. The Community Leader Award is presented annually to communities that have been exemplary as advocates for wood. Nominated projects must have been completed in the past three years, or are currently under construction. Wood WORKS! is a national industry-led initiative of the Canadian Wood Council, with a goal to support innovation and provide leadership on the use of wood and wood products.
Bowled over
A
friendly game of 10-pin bowling brought athletes of all abilities out to Sandcastle Lanes in South Surrey on
Saturday. The Halloween “Inclusion” 10-Pin Bowling mix combined the talents of B.C. Special Olympics athletes with junior league members. “It was absolutely wonderful,” said Leslie Stoneham, head coach of the Surrey team. “They weren’t playing against, they were playing with… side-by-side. Points didn’t matter on Saturday.” Stoneham said both groups usually
play on Saturdays, as part of regular league play, but the Oct. 30 event was the first time the teams have played together. It was initiated by junior team coach Colin Millard, who put out the invite as a way to inject even more fun into the play. It also exposed his charges to the talents of their peers, he said. “I thought it would be a great learning experience to help the junior bowlers appreciate the skill level of some of the Special Olympics teams,” he said. “The team that won (one of two trophies awarded for best spirit) from our junior team… were actually really impressed with how some of these kids could bowl. “It was kind of a good eye-opener on that kind of thing.” Millard has coached the junior league of eight- to 19-year-old players for about four years. Stoneham has led
the Special Olympics team for one, after about six years scorekeeping. Her athletes range in age from 16 to 52 years. About 20 members of each turned out to play. Integrating the teams was also a great opportunity to break down barriers, Stoneham said, applauding the junior team for the suggestion and bowling alley staff for supporting the effort. Two trophies were awarded for spirit: one to the female junior team and one to BCSO’s Team Tigers.

Maintaining balance while caregiving responsibility of looking after an older, disabled, or sick family member. Adding this to our already hectic lifestyles may introduce more challenges than you initially anticipated. Education about the health issues and understanding the challenges along with awareness of the community resources can help reduce stress for caregivers. At times when things start becoming challenging, one should consider accepting assistance from other family mem-
bers, friends and other community resources in order to continue living a balanced life, while still ensuring that your loved one is cared for. The following are a few tips that can assist you in better balancing your care giving role with work and family.
Be fair to yourself Always remember to take care of yourself first; you cannot care for another person unless you are healthy both mentally and physically.
It is important not to be overwhelmed by the amount of responsibilities that you may feel are your duty. No one can do it all and getting help is essential. Recognizing your needs and getting help will do you justice and allow you to sustain a better standard of care for your loved one.
Family Family members can always be of assistance when we are in need. Assuming that others should “volunteer�

their assistance may be a little naĂŻve. Some may not offer the help because they don’t see that you need the help as you “seem to beâ€? coping well. They assume if you need help you will ask, so don’t be afraid to ask. Find out if and when other family members can help out with caregiving duties. It is important to delegate duties and allow those who are willing to help to do so. Creating schedules and discussing obstacles will allow the primary caregiver to have a more balanced lifestyle.
Mental wellness Mental wellness is important for your overall health and wellbeing. It is important for all people to maintain a balanced state of mind, in order to be successful at anything. Stress and burnout are very prevalent among caregivers. As a caregiver you may find yourself frustrated with things on a regular basis. It is okay to feel this way,
share common experiences and share tips to help you on the journey.
Caregiving
CAREGIVING for our family is seen by many cultures as a duty; a passage from one generation to another. Our parents made many sacrifices to see us to where we are today; they’ve been there for us through our good times and bad. Now to see these roles reversed and accepting the fact that our parents are getting older and experiencing deteriorating health can be difficult. The special place that family holds in our hearts can lead us to gladly accept the
Work
Jas Cheema but also important to find techniques to deal with these feelings and beware that these feelings exist. Juggling between work, children and care giving for a parent can pose challenges for the sandwich generation. Setting aside some personal time although important for our mental well being can be very challenging. There are caregiving support groups throughout the Lower Mainland which provide not only support for caregivers but also education and referrals to various community programs. Joining a caregiving support group in your area connects you with other caregivers that
Being able to differentiate between work duties and caregiving duties is important for maintaining a healthy relationship with your employer that portrays you as a dedicated employee. Make your employer aware of your increasing responsibilities and find out if the company can accommodate your schedule. If not, then ensure that you are not using company time to conduct caregiving duties and consider using outside help to care for your loved one. Find out about federal benefits such as caregiving leave that is available to caregivers looking after a family member with a terminal illness.

colours of Expo ’86? Remember when Vancouver invited the world? The Delta Museum & Archives Society will be hosting their thirdannual fundraiser, the Night for the Museum Fashion Show and Silent Auction tomorrow, mixing current fashions from local merchants with the retrofashions from 1986. The evening, “Expo 86 Revisited: Come See How the World Saw Vancouver� has been inspired to ring in the 25th anniversary of Expo 86 in 2011. Join the museum staff on Nov. 6 as we explore how Expo affected Vancouver and the Lower Mainland with this year’s theme. Expo introduced the Lower Mainland to the world and many of the classic “Vancouver� sites were a direct result of the Fair. From BC Place to the floating McDonald’s that can still be seen floating aimlessly in the Burrard Inlet, Vancouver welcomed the world with style. Most notably for
Delta, Expo brought the construction of the Alex Fraser Bridge, which linked Delta with New Westminster. This family fun evening will take place at McKee Recreation Center, 5155 47 Ave. Doors will open at 7 p.m. to allow guests a chance to bid on the silent auction items, with the models hitting the runway at 7:30 p.m. The evening will also include desserts from local bakeries, art projects from South Delta Secondary students, a dance team from Academy of Rhythm & Dance and more. Tickets are $15 for adults and seniors, $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased at Angela’s Boutique (4831 Delta St.) and the Delta Museum & Archives (4858 Delta St.). The Delta Museum and Archives is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.deltamuseum.ca or call 604-946-9322.

T
he Mr. & Mrs. P.A Woodward Foundation Board of Directors awarded a $25,000 grant towards a specialized therapeutic tub for the new Irene Thomas Hospice in Delta. The expensive piece of equipment is necessary for the daily care of patients who will be spending their last days, weeks or months of life in the hospice residence. The height-adjustable tub assists in transferring a person from a stretcher lift or a chair lift. Both lifts fit into the tub so that a person can be completely immersed in water. The height adjustment provides a proper height for the care team to assist in bathing. “Our request to the Woodward Foundation was based on the need to support quality of life and dignity of our patients in the hospice residence,” said Delta Hospice executive director Nancy Macey. “One of the important components of comfort or supportive care is activities of daily living. “Personal care, including bathing, can make a significant difference in one’s dignity and comfort. Some people have not been able to have a bath for months because they were unable to get into their bath tub at home.” At the end of life, bathing is a necessary function to help ensure skin integrity and to promote a sense

Bathing is a nonpharmaceutical form of treatment and comfort that helps to reduce pain and symptoms by soothing muscles and by promoting relaxation. The tub is located in the spa room in the Irene Thomas Hospice. This room was built to accommodate the tub, offering privacy and serenity to patients as well as a window to add natural light to the space. “We believe this therapeutic tub will
complement the equipment and furnishings we have invested in to create a healing environment,” said Macey. The Delta Hospice Society has been successful in raising 90 per cent of the $8.5 million needed in its capital campaign to build and operate the 10-bed hospice residence and adjacent centre for supportive care.

Progressive Employer of Canada, among a select group of “mom-friendly” employers by Connect Moms, momcafé and Lisa Martin International which initiated the annual Progressive Employers of Canada List, after conducting a nationwide survey in November 2008 to determine what women, and moms in particular, who are traditionally underrepresented in the workforce, were looking for in a workplace of choice. “That Kwantlen has been selected as one of 2010 Progressive Employers of Canada demonstrates the university’s continuing emphasis on members of its community and creating a working environment supportive of its faculty, staff and employees,” said David Atkinson, Kwantlen president and vice-chancellor. Kwantlen is the only Canadian post-secondary institution to be named on the list this year. Kwantlen was recognized for its generous maternity benefits package as well as having the flexibility to accommodate employee leave of absences.
