Bob Bose signs off after 28 years

Make motorists pay and wait: Surrey report advises

Driving fees, more transit urged

It’s been a long haul in politics for veteran Surrey councillor, former mayor by Kevin Diakiw

by Jeff Nagel

AS A tot in the 1930s, he constructed castles out of blocks, only to have them kicked down by his brothers. As his mother told it, three-year-old Robert Bose would quickly and carefully put them back in place over and over, until his brothers became tired of tormenting him. It’s that same dogged determination Bob Bose, now 79, carried throughout the rest of his life, including his 28 years serving on Surrey city council – which included nearly a decade as mayor. Bose and his Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) were crushed by Mayor Dianne Watts’ Surrey First machine on Saturday, the defeat essentially writing the closing chapter in the elder statesman’s political story. Wearing khakis and a black pullover sweater, Bose sat in his office Tuesday morning, packing boxes and preparing for his final exit from politics. Switching between laughter and tears, he recalled the long road that brought him to this moment, each vignette an emotional extreme. As a youth, he didn’t have political aspirations, Bose said, in his customary stance Bob Bose of comfort and honesty, leaning back with arms crossed. Unlike his grandfather Robert, who was a Surrey pioneer and a reeve (mayor) of this city from 1905 to 1910, Bose always wanted to be a scientist. However, he remembers harbouring a deep distaste for injustice. While in Grade 1 at Surrey Centre school, he huddled outside the front door of the one-room schoolhouse on a cold winter day. The teacher was late. Bose edged his way through the crowd and kicked the door in, allowing his schoolmates to get refuge from the cold. He was strapped for it. “I always took matters into my own hands,” Bose said. He eventually fulfilled his lifelong goal of becoming a scientist, obtaining his PhD in chemistry from the University of Minnesota.

“I always took matters into my own hands.”

Bob Bose has served in Surrey public ofﬁce for 28 years, including nearly a decade (1987-1996) as mayor. He failed to get re-elected on Saturday and says his long career in politics is over.

THE CITY of Surrey is being urged to support a TransLink vehicle levy as one way to fund transit while making driving more expensive. That’s one of the recommendations in a report commissioned by the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association (DSBIA), which hired consultant David Hendrickson to analyze Surrey’s transit needs. His report says Surrey should consider backing a ‘Only suggestions,’ Metro Vancouver says transportation Downtown improvement fee of $65 to $165 per Surrey Business vehicle to support Improvement sustainable transportation, provided Association there are hardship executive concessions for low- director income motorists. Elizabeth Model. It also suggests Surrey push ICBC to allow distancebased insurance, where car owners pay premiums based on how far they drive. And Hendrickson says a share of the provincial carbon tax should also go to transit, rather than income tax relief under the current revenue-neutral model. See ROAD PRICING / Page 3

Is the party over for the SCC? Opposing civic slate to consider its future in the coming days by Kevin Diakiw AFTER BEING all but completely eliminated from local politics, the Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) will meet soon to decide what, if any, future it has. On Saturday, Mayor Dianne Watts’ Surrey First team made history by obtaining every seat on Surrey council and all but one of the Surrey Board of Education. Opinions vary on what SCC might have done to prevent the thumping it took at the polls. Defeated SCC Coun. Bob Bose said afterward the party should have run a mayor to provide an “anchor” for the slate. SCC membership secretary Susan Sanderson said more needed to be done to get people out to vote. “I think lots of people stayed home,” said Sanderson. SCC President Gord Susan Savard said Sanderson party members will spend this week cleaning up election signs and the campaign headquarters. Then the group will meet to see if, and how, it will continue. Sanderson said Monday the party has considered the notion of re-creating or re-branding itself. She also noted the party was able to raise more money during this election campaign than in past, so there’s definitely an interest among some groups to keep the slate going.

“I think lots of people stayed home.”

Gas-and-dash killer back in jail Darnell Pratt dragged Grant De Patie to his death by Monisha Martins THE YOUNG man who dragged

Darnell Pratt

a Maple Ridge gas station attendant to his death is back in jail after two weeks on the run. Darnell Darcy Pratt surrendered himself to Victoria Police around 11 p.m. on Saturday. Pratt, 22, was released from a federal penitentiary on Nov. 3, but failed to return to the Victoria halfway house he was staying at two days later.

Police issued a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest on Nov. 7. “He contacted police, saying he was ready to give himself up,” said Const. Mike Tucker. “From the time he went missing, he was one of the top priorities for the department. We were really active in pursuing him. I can’t speak for Mr. Pratt, but the pressure got to him.” It’s the second time in a year Pratt has violated parole conditions.

Pratt was first granted statutory release in June 2010 and violated curfew just two days after he was paroled to a Kamloops halfway house. Surrey’s Corinne De Patie, whose 24-year-old son Grant was killed by Pratt in 2005, was relieved to hear Pratt had been arrested. She was told of his arrest by from Correctional Service of Canada staff on Monday morning. See DE PATIE’S MOM / Page 4

De Patie’s mom: ‘We haven’t been sleeping well...’ From page 3 “We haven’t been sleeping well for the past 16 days,” said De Patie.

“It affects our bodies inside and we are really happy that we have this news.”

A parole officer will now determine whether Pratt will be allowed back into the

community under conditions imposed by the parole board or refer the file back

to the board for a suspension hearing. If his file is referred to the parole board, the decision could take as long as three months. Pratt was just 16

in March 2005, when he struck Grant De Patie in a stolen car while fleeing an Esso station on Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge without paying for gas.

Pratt dragged the 24-year-old under the car for more than seven kilometres. His sentence officially ends July 12, 2012. newsroom@surrreyleader.com

In their words – Bob Bose’s legacy:

Advice: Slow the pace of development From page 1

“You can’t replace what he brought to the table, which was his expertise, his commitment and his pure attention to the community perspective.” Coun. Barinder Rasode

“He never compromised his opinions... and I think people admired that about Bob.” Coun. Judy Villeneuve

“A treasure of the city for many, many years...” Coun. Barbara Steele

... more quotes at surreyleader. com

He was a practising chemist in Vancouver, then in Panorama Ridge in 1969, where he was eventually convinced to become president of the area’s ratepayers association. Not surprisingly, the main issue on the Ridge was regarding the hasty pace of development. He lobbied for residents against the regimes of former mayors Bill Vander Zalm and Ed McKitka. Bose’s friend Bill Vogel unseated McKitka in 1977, and then brought Bose on as a councillor the following year. Except for brief periods when he stepped down to run as an NDP MLA in Newton (he was beaten by Rita Johnson) and being unseated as mayor in 1996, Bose has been a fixture on council since he was first elected. Now that he’s been voted off for a final time (Bose said he won’t run again), he has a moment to reflect on the highlights of his career. The proudest moment was making Bill Fomich a Freeman of the City. “My official opposition – it brings tears to my eyes every time,” Bose said, who had the Freeman’s ribbon made from the colours of Fomich’s home country of Belarus. “Bill said, ‘oh

my goodness, Belarus.’ “That was without a doubt, my proudest moment,” Bose said, choking back tears. Bose’s list of accomplishments is long and meaningful, particularly regarding preserving green spaces in the city. He helped avert the development of Green Timbers Urban Forest, Sunnyside Acres and Surrey Bend, in addition to innumerable other parks that were slated for construction. He was also instrumental in helping develop the region’s first Livable Strategic Plan, which thanks in part to Bose, contains a “Green Zone” protected from development. The plan has been updated, but the Green Zone remains. Bose says there are things he might have handled differently, including his “biggest blunder.” It was the mid-1990s, and Bose, who had been mayor since 1987, was attempting to end a filibuster by then-Coun. Judy Higginbotham, who would not stop talking. Bose recessed the meeting and all councillors left, except Higginbotham, who kept talking to the packed public hearing. He called on the night watchman to get

the RCMP to send over a plainclothes female officer to escort Higginbotham out. “Next thing I know there’s 17 squad cars. They think there’s a riot at city hall,” Bose laughed. The following day, newspapers reported the RCMP spokesman saying they were not there to enforce Roberts Rules of Order. “What he didn’t know was that they were there (for that),” Bose said. “That’s the legislation.” It was tough as mayor, he said, trying to keep order in a council where he was outnumbered by the opposition. “They’re always nipping at your heels, that’s the nature of the beast,” he said. “They’re always after your job.” His toughest moment was losing the mayor’s chair to Doug McCallum in 1996. He said that’s because he knew where McCallum wanted to take the city, and he thought it would be to Surrey’s detriment. “I just saw the city going to hell in a hand basket,” Bose said, adding he felt he would be absent at a very crucial time in the city’s history. He came back three years later and held a city council seat for a dozen years. For the last six,

102, 15399 - 102A Avenue, Surrey (2 blocks from Guildford)

he was the lone voice of opposition. Bose concedes it was exhausting at times, with no one to spell him off. He says planning and environmental issues remain paramount. “We need to find ways of buying and securing for the public trust large areas of environmentally sensitive lands that we cannot now acquire,” he said, adding each time he recommends such proposals, they get sloughed off.“The council has refused to even consider it, all they do is dump them into the

waste basket. “There’s nobody on council to say ‘stop, we need more parkland in our built-up areas’. ” As for advice for Watts moving forward, Bose said ease up on the pace of development. “Slow down, take a deep breath,” advises Bose, who says no one has any quarrel with the goals of the plans and policies of the city. However, there is concern in the execution. “If you really plan to protect the environment, then you better do something about it, because

I’ll tell you, development trumps the environment every time.” Bose has one more council meeting on Nov. 28, then he will officially be replaced on Dec. 5. He plans to spend more time with his family and granddaughters both here and on Vancouver Island. Bose hints, however, that as someone who keeps re-building blocks after they’ve been kicked over, he may continue fighting for Surrey’s best interests outside of the political arena. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Every year, the duo lights up my home with Christmas lights and it is such a delight and labour of love. My ex-husband is low on funds, but always adds something new every year. He is such an unsung hero and an utterly devoted man in our lives. The fact that he is teaching our son to keep the true spirit and joy of Christmas alive became evident to me as I watched their reac-

tion to my ex-husband’s Santa that he had kept carefully for 20 years being stolen, along with a penguin (it holds a lot of sentimental value to him) from our front yard. Naturally, my son cried and his dad was very distressed to put it mildly, stating it causes him “to lose faith in people.” He has seen the worst of injustice as he is a corporal with the RCMP. Nevertheless, in the evening my son and his father ventured to Canadian Tire and I watched them put up a Snoopy doghouse Christmas light in the cold. My son’s father’s fingers were bleeding

and cracked, but he persevered and did it. He taught our son the lesson of always keeping the spirit of Christmas alive. I hope that same person does not steal any more of our lights as it would be heartbreaking for me to watch. I would really like to see the Santa and penguin returned with a reward being offered as we are trying to teach our son the power of faith and that prayer works. Monique Sawka Surrey

Critics take aim at election NOV. 19 WAS the date for municipal elections all over the province. When I completed my ballot I was shocked to be asked to insert it into a machine rather than the usual box with a slot on top. I had no idea the City of Surrey had made a switch to electronic ballot tallying and I find I am most uncomfortable with it. We know that vote-rigging software is out there – in the U.S., computer programmer Clifford Curtis testified before Congress to that effect. To avoid any hint or suspicion of impropriety, I call upon Surrey council to return us to manual tallying of ballots for the next election. I hope never to see electronic ballot counting again in an election at any level of government in Canada.

Make Surrey better for everyone NOW THAT THE election is over

Oliver Hofer

Predictable results SURREY’S election results are not a surprise. Opposition if any is officially decimated. Mayor Dianne Watts’ grip on Surrey is unchallengeable. Now we are left with a one party rule, a democracy without opposi-

WINTER IS A TIME when everyone

wants to stay cozy and comfortable. I was glad to read in the Nov. 17 Leader that “Surrey’s cold weather shelters to open this weekend.” I am currently a student in Social Justice 12 class at Tamanawis Secondary School and this article stood out to me since it relates to what we are learning in class. It has always concerned me knowing that there are people living on the streets in cold weather in fall or winter while others are in warm places; I’ve always thought of that to be unfair. It is nice to know that Surrey is stepping up and supporting those in need by having everything planned ahead of time making it easier for people to be ready for the extreme weather. Also it shows that Surrey is concerned about every individual, providing shelters as well as warm clothing to them so they are comfortable. It makes me feel good about living in Surrey knowing that everyone matters. Now everyone can have a safe and warm Christmas thanks to the shelters around Surrey. P. Dhaliwal

C.A. Archibald Surrey

and the City of Surrey did the worst thing possible – elect an unopposed council – I must put a few words down. Twenty-five per cent voter turnout is very sad and should not count as a real election. Surrey First, please find some guts and start cracking down on the illegal suite issue, never make Marvin Hunt the interim mayor, never bring George Bush back to town, and bring Surrey the rapid/ light rapid transit it so sorely requires. And put that new gas tax to work for Surrey. Don’t be a close-minded group since you now have the whole council to yourself. Make Surrey better for everyone and not just for the folks who filled your campaign pockets.

Post-election complaints from letter writers include untrustworthy electronic ballot counting, a one-party council ﬁlled with people with personal agendas and a hard-to-access voting location. tion. We better have a benevolent dictator. When I decided to participate in this Surrey election I soon realized that Watts would sweep the election without a doubt and at that point I decided to start working on bringing a wards-based election for 2014. I don’t doubt the good intentions of the mayor and her team, but one-party democracy is no democracy. Now the local media’s role to be a watchdog has increased. All of Canada except B.C. has wards to serve needs of residents. Surrey’s populated constituencies like Newton and Whalley – which make up 45 per cent of the city’s population – remain unrepresented on council. The current at-large system is unconstitutional and city councils like Vancouver and Surrey have been getting away so far without

being truly representative. My journey to B.C. Supreme Court to get a ward system started six weeks ago. Shan Rana Surrey mayoralty candidate

Bad planning in Cloverdale/Clayton I VOTE AT EVERY election and I

have to say this time was the worst experience. Just three voting locations in Cloverdale? My old location was at George Greenaway Elementary. The city moved it to the second floor of the new recreation centre, in a classroom, not one of the three gymnasiums. Who was the rocket scientist who thought that up? The line up snaked through the whole second floor and it’s not very big. We were

packed in like sardines. I have a disability and have never experienced a worse time. I left after five minutes and went to Clayton Heights Secondary, where the line-up was 150 feet long and out the door. But at least that one was moving and in a big area. Other people probably did not get to go to another location. You want people to get out and vote? The city elections planner or whoever thought of using a small classroom at a rec center and not a gym and only three locations in one of the biggest and fastest populating districts of Surrey. Give your head a shake. And don’t think online voting is ever going to work. You would be descriminating the elderly and the poor. Voting should never be this hard. Don’t ever do this again. Paul Fitzgerald Cloverdale

Lady given kindness, apathy A GREAT BIG bouquet of longstemmed red roses to the two young women who came to the aid of a rather distraught elderly lady in the Surrey Memorial Hospital ER the evening of Nov. 16 and shame on her son who, it appeared, would rather return home to watch the hockey game than remain to comfort her during the long wait for treatment. How sad but it seems karma came through – the Canucks lost. Myrna McRae

in her neighbourhood without result, Marjorie Worsley is a little embarrassed about calling a local newspaper about a missing hammer. “It’s ridiculous,” admits the Panorama Ridge resident. On the morning of Thursday, Nov. 17, Worsley lost a 20-oz. blue-handled Eastwing framing hammer she and her husband Steve had borrowed from a contractor named Herman. They were finished taking apart scaffolding at their home in the 12900 block of Southridge Drive and were loading it onto a trailer to return to Home Depot (7350 120 St.) when Marjorie left the hammer on the utility trailer before driving off to the store. It fell off somewhere between the couple’s home and Home Depot. Worsley is now wracked with guilt, having learned that Herman, whom she had

just met, had used the hammer for 37 years. The company that makes the hammer – Eastwing – was going to goldplate it three years from now, to commemorate Herman logging 40 years with the same tool. “He knows it’s missing and he’s pretty choked,” says Worsley. “I’ve never seen a man so attached to a ham-

Low-income residents evicted from Dell Hotel About 50 people have lost their homes by Kevin Diakiw

Former residents of the Dell Hotel, Brian Orford, Amanda Morgan and their dog Roxy, pack their belongings Monday afternoon.

ON MONDAY afternoon,

Brian Orford expected to be homeless by midnight, along with about 50 other people in North Surrey. Orford spoke to The Leader while cleaning up his room at the Dell Hotel, in the 10600 block of King George Boulevard. By the end of the day, scores of low-or-no income people had to be gone. Orford and his girlfriend Amanda Morgan believe they will be homeless as a result, because of their dog Roxy. Orford has had Roxy for 10 years, and he’s not giving her up. Accommodation for someone with a dog will be difficult to find. The tenancy problem arose after the hotel was sold to an overseas buyer in September, who

anticipated it would be empty. It wasn’t. The building had been sublet to someone who rented rooms for $375 (the total amount allotted for housing on welfare cheques) to about 23 people. Another 25 or so have been squatting in the building. Officials from the city said all the people being evicted who wanted help,

obtained housing or shelter elsewhere. For some, that means a mat at Surrey Urban Mission, where officials have their doubts about the whole process. “I think that it’s deplorable that people don’t have affordable housing,” said Jonquil Hallgate, executive director of Surrey Urban Mission. “It’s deplorable that ... we’re in the coldest part of the

Barinder Rasode was assured that people who wanted shelter would get it. “When I asked the question about what that housing looks like, I didn’t get an answer,” Rasode said. “They should not be put out on the street, especially in this weather,” she said. “They have nowhere else to go.” At Leader press time, it was unclear what happened to Orford, Morgan and their dog Roxy.

Law reform flawed: Dad Says family legislation doesn’t address fathers’ concerns by Sheila Reynolds

maintained,” says Wallace, adding one of the biggest concerns he sees with the current family law system – judges having discretion in settling cases regardless of any testimony or prenuptial agreements – remains. Separation proceedings and child custody, he says, are often tilted in favour of moms and leave fathers “hammered” financially. “The problem we have is we’re faced with the generally accepted bias men face in court,” Wallace says. “There’s no indication that

WHEN INTRODUCED last week, B.C.’s new Family Law Act was touted as putting “children first,” but a Surrey man says it falls short of addressing the needs of all – namely, fathers. Bill Wallace, who began a controversial Surrey-based men’s advocacy group called Fathers No More last year, says while some of the changes are laudable and the intention appropriate, many flaws are still contained in Bill 16. “The status quo is

fathers will be dealt with equitably.” The proposed law aims to reduce conflict by steering couples away form courts and towards mediation, and also attempts to curb family violence by replacing restraining orders issued by civil court with protection orders issued by criminal court. Property rights would also be extended to commonlaw couples. Wallace says for the government to seemingly ignore the treatment of fathers in legislation purport-

edly revised to address every other conceivable aspect of family law, is confounding. In a statement emailed to The Leader, Attorney General Shirley Bond said consultation was extensive during the past few years and included a white paper which outlined the proposed legislative changes, which was posted to the ministry website to allow for public feedback on the Family Law Act. “The ministry received feedback from more than 500 organizations and individuals during the consultation process,” said Bond, “including a number whom who were representing men’s groups.” Wallace calls the assertion hollow. “This was done without fathers’ input,” he maintains. He fears if the legislation is approved as anticipated this week, it may take decades before dads have any certainty when facing custody or separation disputes. “We want reasonable change and we want fair change.” sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Accused wife-killer pleads not guilty Thomas Elton on trial for 2009 stabbing death of Brenda Turcan (Blondell) by Sheila Reynolds

when he was doing prison time in 1975. He had also served his

minimum sentence and was on parole. Both Elton and

Turcan were known as activists who campaigned for reform of

the prison system. An online video shows the pair speaking at a 2004

public memorial for people who have died in jail.

and 104 Avenue in the Guildford neighbourhood. At the time of the murder, a neighbour described the couple as â&#x20AC;&#x153;frail,â&#x20AC;? saying Turcan, 59, was especially ill. In a strange twist, both Elton and Turcan had previously been convicted of separate murders. Turcan was found guilty of second-degree murder for the 1987 slaying of a woman in Burnaby. Turcan was free on parole, after serving her mandatory minimum jail sentence, when she was killed in 2009. Elton was convicted of murder after stabbing another inmate to death

A MAN accused of mur-

dering his wife more than two years ago in a Surrey apartment has pleaded not guilty. Thomas Robert Elton was charged in June 2009 with one count of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Brenda Turcan (also known as Brenda Blondell). Elton, now 56, entered his plea in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday (Nov 21). Turcanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found in a ground-floor suite of a three-storey apartment building where the couple lived together near 148 Street

Wild winds Trees crash into home by Tracy Holmes THE POWERFUL noise that woke Elaine McDermid

as trees crashed down on her South Surrey home early Tuesday had the mother of three fearing the worst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought somebody was taking a log to our front door,â&#x20AC;? McDermid said hours later, surveying the damage caused by the overnight windstorm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought the house was exploding.â&#x20AC;? Intense overnight winds are being blamed for tens of thousands of Surrey and White Rock residents waking up without power, to a landscape littered with fallen branches. The pounding rain that began Monday evening and continued into the early hours Tuesday is also being blamed for traffic disruptions, ferry cancellations and debris throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond. McDermid said the first trees hit her house, in the 1900 block of 133B Street, at 1:40 a.m. Another came down at 4 a.m. Two trunks from the split cedar narrowly missed coming through her 19-year-old sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-floor bedroom window. The winds were the most powerful she can recall in the nearly 20 years her family has lived in the area, she added. At the height of the storm, about 32,000 Surrey customers were without power. Even the Port Mann Bridge was without lighting for the morning commute.

One force may have stopped killer: Report Inquiry ďŹ ndings ďŹ&#x201A;ag RCMP, Vancouver Police for Pickton case failures by Jeff Nagel MOUNTIES BASED in

Coquitlam had strong grounds to pursue Robert Pickton as the serial killer hunting Vancouver sex trade workers in the late 1990s but did not investigate him aggressively enough. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the key findings in a report to the Missing Women Inquiry that cites a failure of leadership within the RCMP as well as the Vancouver Police in pursuing Pickton, whose activities straddled their jurisdictions. The report by Deputy Chief Jennifer Evans of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peel Regional Police was commissioned by the inquiry to provide an independent review of the policing decisions in the Pickton case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone in authority, either in the RCMP or the VPD, needed to champion a co-ordinated effort to these investigations,â&#x20AC;? Evans concluded. Instead, she found, Coquitlam RCMP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bogged down with active cases â&#x20AC;&#x201C; neglected Pickton as the probable serial killer, while VPD investigators felt more pressure to act but were reluctant to tread on the Mountiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Coquitlam RCMP it was easy to put Pickton aside due to the other incoming violent crimes which they felt had to be investigated as a priority,â&#x20AC;? she found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did not feel the pressure from the missing women investigations.â&#x20AC;? Evans suggests the â&#x20AC;&#x153;competing prioritiesâ&#x20AC;? that hindered the Pickton case might have been swept aside had a single force policed the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that a quicker and more coordinated police response would have resulted if one police agency held the same jurisdictional control over both Picktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence and the Downtown Eastside (DTES) where the women went missing from.â&#x20AC;? Evans asked VPD officers why they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go out to the pig farm in Port Coquitlam and investigate Pickton themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done,â&#x20AC;? one told her, another warned it would lead to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;policing anarchyâ&#x20AC;? and a third said Coquitlam Mounties assured them the case was being actively pursued. As the case grew more complex, she added, communications between the two police forces broke down. Evans found RCMP Chief Supt. Gary Bass had been briefed on the missing women investigation, had been told three serial killers could be active in B.C. and should have pushed sooner for a more coordinated approach with the VPD. The fact no bodies were turning up â&#x20AC;&#x153;created an excuse for ignoring the problem which permeated both the VPD and the RCMP.â&#x20AC;? By mid-1999, four informants had told police they suspected Pickton, with the ability to dispose of bodies, was the serial killer and three of them said Pickton associate Lynn Ellingsen had claimed to see him butchering a woman in his barn. Evans found police were too quick to believe Ellingsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly when she refused a lie detector test. She also criticized the RCMP for agreeing to wait until the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rainy seasonâ&#x20AC;? to interview Pickton, causing a four-month delay from September 1999 to January of 2000. The two forces failed to communicate well after the critical interviews with informants in mid-1999, Evans found, which hurt the investigation and â&#x20AC;&#x153;resulted in Pickton remaining free to prey upon the women of the DTES.â&#x20AC;? When Pickton was interviewed, the VPD wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notified or told of the results. By January 2001, when the RCMP-led Project Evenhanded investigation was launched, police believed there was a serial killer, but Evans noted they thought he was dormant. Even a summer student doing data entry work who had access to some of the material urged more action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A serial killer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one cunning enough to kill and fully dispose of 40 or 50 women without getting caught â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is on

the loose,â&#x20AC;? he warned superiors in a 2001 essay. Pickton wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finally arrested until February of 2002, five years after his 1997 attack on a prostitute who escaped his farm sparked an attempted murder charge that was later dropped. The RCMP seized Picktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes that night in 1997 but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t test them for seven years, belatedly discovering the DNA of two

missing women. Evans notes that while mistakes were made, good work was done, including that by a committed investigator in Coquitlam who was promoted and transferred away in mid-1999. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In hindsight it appears easy to see a clear path to Pickton,â&#x20AC;? she wrote, describing the errors as the result of a lack of leadership and commitment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not malice.

Students fundraise for hospital Kwantlen group hopes to collect $5,000 by Sarah Massah A GROUP of Kwantlen

students is adding a sweet twist to a school project by teaming up with White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Candy Shop Couture to host a fundraiser for B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. Brooke Schlase and her classmates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Courtney Von Minden, Anu Bains, Anthony Duong and Jacqueline De Brosien â&#x20AC;&#x201C; chose the hospital for their social justice class assignment because of the personal

connection they have with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least three out of five of our members have had help from B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up, so we wanted to give back to them because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped us,â&#x20AC;? Schlase said. To ensure the fundraiser would be a success, Schlase teamed up with Candy Shop Couture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where she works when not at school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to combine her event with the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year anniversary on Nov. 26.

Owners Dave and Jeannie Dhaliwal donated their store space to be the venue for the event, which will include hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres, champagne and door prizes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with all of the proceeds going to the hospital. Schlase said she is happy people in the community are onboard with the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received a lot of positive feedback. A lot of people in the community care about the cause weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fundraising for,â&#x20AC;? Schlase said.

The assignmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to raise $750 for the charity, but Schlase said her group has loftier plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are expecting to raise $5,000 because of the ticket sales and all the special little games and events we will be having,â&#x20AC;? Schlase said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to raise as much money as we can â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just by attending this event, you can help someone who needs it.â&#x20AC;? Tickets can be purchased at Candy Shop Couture, 14967

Event for Canuck Place raises $11,000 by Tracy Holmes THE HEART-wrenching

plight of a terminally ill White Rock girl inspired thousands of dollars in donations Saturday for Canuck Place, the Vancouver children’s hospice that has been a lifeline for her family. Sandra Christian, owner of Creative Kids Learning Centers, said Monday a preliminary tally puts the total raised by the Mom’s Night Out event at around $11,000 – more than five times what organizers were hoping for. “It was such a hit… out of this world,” Christian said. The soiree was organized in honour of Gabrielle Ross, the year-old sister of preschool student James

Ross. Gabrielle was born with Inclusion-cell (I-cell) disease, a rare and incurable genetic disorder in which lysosomes in her cells aren’t properly storing waste. She and her family – mom and dad, Amy and Regan, and brothers James and Michael – have received tremendous support from Canuck Place on their journey. Their story, detailed in The Surrey-North Delta Leader Nov. 17, “really affected this cause,” Christian said, estimating 150 women turned out to shop, bid on auction items and socialize. “It was full the entire time,” she said of the fundraiser, which was held at Creative Kids’ Rosemary Heights location.

Cash donations also played a significant role, and included $1,000 from King of Floors and $2,500 from an anonymous donor. Christian said part of the night’s proceeds will go directly to the Ross family to assist in the purchase of a special walker and high chair for Gabrielle, to help

Amy Ross – who stopped by with husband Regan after watching election results that put her father, Wayne Baldwin, in the White Rock mayor’s chair – described the event as “overwhelmingly awesome.” “Gabrielle was a little star,” she said. Combined with her dad’s win at city hall, “it was a really exciting night for all of us.”

Payment: Use debit, as credit can cost shoppers some extra money From page 23 Look out for special promotions and deals. You may also want to visit a few of the locations that sell the gift you are seeking so you can ask questions about features and pricing. Take down notes without making a purchase. Then evaluate what you learned so you can make the best decision on what to buy and where to purchase it. Reduce or eliminate transaction fees. Unless you have a no-fee chequing account, paying with a debit card can become an expense in its own right, especially with the higher number of transactions you’ll likely complete over the holidays. Where possible, use a chequing account that doesn’t charge fees for debit card purchases, or shop in bulk instead of making several trips to the same retailer. This will help you avoid repeat fees as you check items off your holiday shopping list. Choose debit (or cash) over

the Start of the

CARVE YOUR OWN PATH.

credit. This will lessen the balance on your credit cards and in turn your monthly interest payments in 2012. If you use credit, do so sparingly and be sure to pay your balance off as soon as possible. Use credit cards with the lowest interest and those that offer insurance protection for gifts that require a warranty. Also, many retailers and credit cards offer loyalty points that can be redeemed for any number of household goods, electronics and cosmetics. If you have one of these cards, check to see if you’ve accumulated enough points to help with some of your holiday purchases. Be fraud aware. As you make debit card payments, be on the lookout for debitcard skimming. This is where fraudsters capture the banking information of unsuspecting customers at point-of-sales terminals. Be extra vigilant when holiday shopping at retail locations you’re visiting for the first time and keep an eye out

Festive Seas

for anything that looks suspicious on or near the payment terminal. This type of fraud can also happen with compromised ATMs so it’s best to use secure ATMs at financial institutions you trust. For both ATM and debit card transactions, be careful to shield the keypad when typing in your PIN. Online shopping is another avenue for potential fraud so as much as possible, make purchases from retailers you know and trust. If the site is encrypted to protect your information, it should display the padlock symbol in the address bar. Double-check that you have the correct web address for all businesses that you purchase from online and don’t proceed if you see anything unusual or suspicious. I wish everyone a smart and safe holiday shopping season. Kathy McGarrigle is Chief Operating Officer for Coast Capital Savings.

Stanley cup riot prompts SFU students’ case study

ive undergraduate students from Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business used Vancouver’s 2011 Stanley Cup riot as a case study to examine the growing role that social media plays in society and business. The students – Fahad Yasin, Christine Prasad, Sasha Vukovic, Moira van den Akker and Andrew McKinlay – competed in the recent Intercollegiate Business Ethics Case Competition (IBECC) in Bellevue, Wash., with a case study called Legal Implications of Social Media. The SFU team is competing against a prestigious international field that includes Oxford University, University of Southern California, INSEAD and Boston College. The team’s chosen ethics case concerned the aftermath of June’s Vancouver riot. It involved a Lower Mainland construction company whose employee made favourable comments about the riot on his Facebook account.

of this year’s $2,000 Envision Financial Education Awards, They were chosen from more than 100 applicants. The students demonstrated

After receiving upwards of 100 emails from an agitated public, the company’s owner had to make a difficult decision of how to react to the public relations nightmare – and how to deal with his employee. The student team examined the situation from the perspective of the employer on the day after the riots. “(What we were) really looking at is social media and the role it plays in our society and business,” said McKinlay. “This new phenomenon can be a useful tool, but if used incorrectly, can result in huge costs, both tangible and intangible. How to use social media most effectively is still unknown, but we do know one thing for sure – social media is blurring the line between our public and private lives.” Sam Thiara, manager of student engagement and recruitment at the

Beedie School of Business, and alumnus Pam Hernandez coached the team. Teams in the competition researched a contemporary issue in business ethics of their own choosing and prepared a 20- to 30-minute presentation, which they presented to a panel of judges. Teams explain the legal, financial and ethical dimensions of their problem and propose a solution that must pass on all three counts. Judges questioned the teams for another 30 minutes, and then give the teams feedback on their performance. The winning team was Loyola Marymount University of Los Angeles with a case study of Triclosan, a controversial antibacterial additive that is put into Colgate Toothpaste.

Beard be gone Pinewood Elementary Grade 6/7 teacher Mr. Nielsen gets his beard shaved after students raised $1,468 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The students were challenged to raise at least $1,000, following lackluster tallies for past Terry Fox Runs at the school. Nielsen has worn a beard since he was 17 years old.

Right as rain gardens Thanks to a partnership with the Corporation of Delta and the Cougar Creek Streamkeepers, Gibson Elementary (above) and Heath Elementary schools (left) in North Delta have two new rain gardens. The gardens were planted by the Streamkeepers, the municipality and school staff and students. Rain gardens beneﬁt the environment by absorbing rain water from paved surfaces, which helps keep polluted water out of creeks and ravines.

Fundraising through fun THANKS TO A sponsorship from Terminal Systems Inc. (TSI), more than 200 people attended Reach Child and Youth Development Society’s Family Fun Day and Annual General Meeting recently. Highlights of the event, titled Making Magic Happen, included a magician, bouncy castle, a Delta Gymnastics tumbling centre and a silent auction featuring more than 50 items donated by local businesses. “We’re so pleased with the large turnout, which included some of the 800 children we serve annually and their families, as well as our many supporters, volunteers, directors and staff,” said Reach Society President Rob VanSpronssen. More than $6,000 was raised, and funds will be directed to the Building for Children Together capital campaign, which is raising $4 million to build a new child development centre in Ladner.

Technology allows you to see a full-scale image of your chosen ﬂoorplan

In-Real-Theatre a new way to buy a home Buying a new home before construction is complete can be stressful, since it can be hard to picture the finished floorplan. You’ll never need to worry about that at The 258, a new high-rise development in New Westminster. With the help of Pilothouse Marketing, The 258 is using In-Real-Theatre technology to allow purchasers to walk around a full-scale virtual floorplan of their new home. “We’ve actually had people sitting in the ‘bathtub,’” laughs Bill Morrison, president of Pilothouse Marketing. In-Real-Theatre is controlled by computers, a server and 16 projectors that combine to project a full-size floorplan onto the floor. Potential buyers choose the floorplan they’d like to see on a touch screen. The projectors then beam the images onto the floor, while

large screens around the room show you the view that you’ll get from every angle. “This is a pretty phenomenal way to do things,” Morrison says. “This could revolutionize how people buy a home.” Seeing your home isn’t all you can do in the theatre however. You can also experience the sounds and smells of the neighbourhood, with the help of fragrance atomizers in the room. “We knew we had to come up with something strong,” Morrison says. “We have to put people in the brochure instead of handing them the brochure.” The 258 will be opening for sale on Nov. 26 by appointment only, and Morrison says the response so far has been tremendous. “I am very confident it will sell out,” he says. “There is a lot of built-up anticipation.”

Making home-buying easy

Amberleigh a gem on Burke Mountain by Kerry Vital

Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain community is welcoming its newest addition, Amberleigh by Morningstar Homes. Building on its reputation from past communities such as Avondale and Belmont, the response has already been amazing, says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. “There has been a phenomenal turnout,” Calahan says. “It was greater than we anticipated.” Released for sale on Nov. 12, the first phase of 14 homes was sold out in a matter of hours. The second set was released last weekend, and those are also completely sold out, Calahan says. More homes are to be released this weekend. In fact, there was actually a lineup the evening before the opening, with six groups camping out overnight to ensure they got the first pick of the homes when they opened for sale. “We had over 400 people preregistered,” Calahan says. “We were quite surprised that people were camping out ... We’re really, really pleased with the response.” She says that the brand awareness that Morningstar has built has definitely contributed to the popularity of its new homes. Their reputation for high-quality finishings is well-known, as well as their mandate to deliver homes on time and on budget. “Our motto is to make home-buying easy,” she says, and that is continuing with Amberleigh.

“

We’re really, really pleased with the response,” says Deborah Calahan, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Morningstar Homes.

“With prices the way they are, first-time buyers can’t get into the market,” she says. “This can be their opportunity.” The homes at Amberleigh are truly spectacular, both inside and out. Curb appeal is a big part of the real estate picture, and Amberleigh has it in spades with its detached rear garages and stunning architecture. Inside, luxurious finishings such as

window seats in the master bedroom, seamless glass shower stalls in the ensuite, glass-panelled staircases and a linear fireplace with glass stones in the great room combine for a development that is tops in its class. “These are details that you usually see in hotels,” Calahan says. “They make the home feel so rich.” continued on page 2

“We want to make (the experience) as simple as possible,” she says. “There’s something here for everyone.” Morningstar is also proving that single-family home-buying isn’t out of reach for first-time buyers. “The incredible value is really key here,” Calahan says, adding that Morningstar is able to offer exceptionally well-built homes at a price that is actually affordable to people from many demographics.

…off the front: “It looks like Pleasantville ... It’s very family friendly.” Deborah Calahan. continued from page 1

Gourmet kitchens feature granite islands and countertops, perfect for entertaining, preparing a delicious family meal or a quick bite in the morning. Each home is built with a familyfriendly design, so groups of all sizes have plenty of space to work, eat or play. But it’s not only the little details that make Amberleigh a fantastic home. Large secondary bedrooms, great room-style layouts and the option of a finished basement are just some of the amazing things that you will find. There are several choices available for the finished basement, including a legal suite option. “There are a lot of beautiful touches,” Calahan says. The homes range from 3,096 to 3,238 square feet, in three

different floorplans, and buyers are able to choose between four designer-inspired colour schemes, so you are easily able to make your home your own. The community is just as wonderful as the homes it contains. “It looks like Pleasantville,” Calahan says. “It’s very family friendly.” As the fifth development in the neighbourhood, homeowners will be able to take advantage of the infrastructure that is already in place. “It’s a beautifully established neighbourhood,” Calahan says. Located just minutes from Lougheed Highway, everything that you could possibly need is close by, including schools, shopping, restaurants and leisure activities. Homes start at $649,900. For more information visit www. mstarhomes.com or call 604-464-4440.

Fraser Valley champions compete at B.C. championships

Sands settles for seventh by Rick Kupchuk

Firehawks perfect in playoffs

AFTER WINNING every game in league and

playoff competition, a seventh place finish at the provincial championships would be considered as a disappointment by the Sands Scorpions. But that’s all the Senior AA boys high school soccer team had to play for Wednesday afternoon in Burnaby, the team defeating the D.W. Poppy Redhawks 1-0 to place seventh at the three-day, 16-team competition. The Scorpions won three of five games, starting with a pair of victories Monday. A 1-0 loss to Cariboo Hill of Burnaby in their final round robin contest Tuesday morning dropped them to second Kevin Gaull place in their pool, and out of championship contention. They then lost their first playoff game, 2-0 to Samuel Robertson of Maple Ridge Tuesday afternoon, before topping Poppy Wednesday. “We should have won our group, but we were unlucky yesterday (Tuesday) and lost,” said Sands coach Kevin Gaull. “We should have won that game. And in the afternoon game, they were just gutted. We came into the tournament with such high hopes.” The Scorpions were the class of the Fraser Valley zone, winning eight league games and three Fraser Valley playoff contests, conceding just three goals while scoring 47. Alex Tivy scored the Scorpions goal on Wednesday, with Trevor Dierks earning the shutout. After the disappointment of two losses Tuesday, Gaull was pleased to see the team’s dedication to winning on Wednesday. “It was the last game in a Sands uniform for our Grade 12s,” he noted. “They wanted to finish in the proper way, with a victory.” ■ The Senior AAA boys high school tournament began this morning and runs through to Saturday afternoon. The Fraser Valley champion Enver Creek Cougars, third place Panorama Ridge Thunder and fourth place North Surrey Spartans are the three Surrey schools to qualify.

teams will be competing at B.C. championship tournaments next weekend (Nov 30 to Dec. 1). The Fraser Heights Firehawks will go to the boys Senior AAA tournament in Kelowna as the Fraser Valley champions, going through the zone playoff without losing a set. William Dichuk of Fraser Heights was the tournament MVP (Most Valuable Player), while teammates Josiah Ahn and Irvan Brar were allstars. Fraser Heights placed third in league play with a 7-3 (won-lost) record, their Fraser Valley South league proving to be the best of the four in the zone. The Earl Marriott Mariners were first in South league play followed by the Elgin Park Orcas. The two South Surrey schools were second and third respectively at the Fraser Valley playoff. The Seaquam Seahawks go into the girls Senior AAA tournament in Parksville as the top-ranked team in the province, four places ahead of the Clayton Heights Nightriders. The tournament MVP was Kira Tome of Seaquam, with teammates Nicola Etter and Stephanie Martin named all-stars, as were Tonya Gulbrandsen and Rachel Proctor of Clayton Heights. Two Surrey schools are ranked in the top three for the girls Senior AA tournament in Vancouver. The Surrey Christian Falcons are seeded second, one place ahead of the Pacific Academy Breakers. The two rivals were tied for first place in the Fraser Valley league, each with 13-1 records. Surrey Christian edged the Breakers in the Fraser Valley tournament final. Rachel Windhorst of the Falcons was the tournament MVP. Kim DeJager and Maria Cupido of Surrey Christian, and Tresyre Stevenson and Ashley Roxbourgh were tournament all-stars.

...with Dan Jukich Jim Marino isn’t traveling incognito. That ever-growing moustache he’s wearing is part of Movember, the movement among men to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer. Harness racing fans at both Northlands Park in Edmonton and our local Fraser Downs Racetrack caught a glimpse of Marino’s new look last weekend. We said he wasn’t traveling incognito. We didn’t say he wasn’t traveling. After winning two races Friday night at The Downs, Marino flew to Edmonton and hit the winner’s circle Saturday with the JJJ Stables-owned Just Fiction, then reappeared at Fraser Downs Sunday to sweep the early Daily Double. A little background music is in order: Marino, the leading driver at Fraser, drove Super Sunrise ($19.00) and Panic At The Disco ($16.80) Friday night. At chilly Northlands the next day, Marino won with Just Fiction ($9.10) in the Open eliminations for 3-year-old fillies. Then he returned to The Downs Sunday afternoon to guide this year’s Miss Valentine’s winner Mystic Maiden to victory in the $12,500 Fillies and Mare Open Pace. Marino won the previous race with Tahuya Billi Rae to score the early Daily Double. Marino is driving premier talent with the likes of Just Fiction and Mystic Maiden. Just Fiction has won eight of her 11 races this year, including finals of the BC Stallion and BC Sales Stakes. The 4-year-old Mystic Maiden won last year’s Western Filly Pace, Mary Murphy Breeders Stake, BC Sales Stake and Delta Stake. Little wonder her lifetime earnings have topped $230,000. The 17-foot television screens will be in place Grey Cup Sunday in the Clubhouse at Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino, including a half-time Lingerie Show presented by Alexa’s Room Lingerie. It’s also Hats, Heels & Horses Day in the Homestretch. Come on out and get the best of both worlds. See you there. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

But then puberty kicked in, and Toews’s growth – both physically and athletically – culminated earlier this week when he accepted a full-ride scholarship offer from the Quinnipiac University Bobcats, an NCAA Division 1 program in Hamden, Connecticut. “It’s great,” enthused Toews, a 17-year-old defenceman. “They’re one of the top hockey schools in the states, and it’s a smaller school, which I like.” Toews was a terrific bantam player – in 2008-09, he was a member of an Abbotsford Tier 1 Hawks squad that won the B.C. title and finished second at

fall of 2013. “All the time when you’re young, you’re getting preached to about the WHL,” Toews said. “Nobody really finds out about junior A until you see the WHL might not be the route for you. But during my second year of major midget, I decided I wanted to go the junior A route and see if I could get all of my schooling paid for, and work as hard as I can to make a team. It’s a great level of hockey.” Toews is a product of the hockey academy at Yale Secondary. The program has sent plenty of prospects on to the WHL, but Toews represents their first NCAA Div. 1 full ride. “He’s a late bloomer,” said Billy Wilms, a teacher at Yale and director of the hockey program. “He’s a very smooth skater, and he moves the puck exceptionally well.”

“They’re one of the top hockey schools in the states.”

Beginning tomorrow (Friday) and wrapping up Sunday afternoon, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jingle Blades competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now in its 17th year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will feature more than 450 skaters from throughout the province, in categories ranging from pre-preliminary to competitors in the most advanced â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;performance program.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Twenty-five skaters from the host club will compete, many of which will be taking part in their first competition.

Skaters from the Sungod, Cloverdale and North Surrey clubs are also among the competitors. Admission is free, and in addition to the on-ice activities, there will also be daily raffle draws.

A look behind the scenes of Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s production of Beauty and the Beast

It was the Beast of times...

by Alex Browne

Sean Donnelly and Kaitlyn Yott play the Beast and Belle in the pantomime version of Beauty and the Beast.

aitlyn Yott makes no bones about it: Belle in Beauty and the Beast is a dream role for her. “It was my favourite movie when I was a kid,” the recent Earl Marriott Secondary (EMS) graduate said. Although the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society production in which she takes the female lead is a decidedly different, Christmas pantomime version of the tale popularized by the Disney cartoon, she’s still glad for the chance to portray a character she’s always looked up to. “Belle isn’t the usual princess role,” she explained. “She’s someone who sticks to her own values about life, and when she falls in love, she falls for what’s on the inside – not what’s on the outside.” There’s a certain childish glee to being cast as Belle, too, she admits. “When I tried on the yellow dress the first time that little five-year-old in me came out – ‘I’m a princess!’ ” The closest she came to the role before was being cast as Chip the perky little cup in the 2010 EMS production – which was a stage version of the Disney film. While she won praise for a charming

and touching performance, there’s no doubt she’s revelling in the opportunity to finally be Belle. But it goes deeper than that. Yott, who loves to sing, is determined to pursue a career on the stage, and plans to audition for a post-secondary theatre program. “I’d like to get a performance degree in musical theatre,” she said. “Being on stage is the greatest feeling in the world. Any time I’m performing, the voice in my head is telling me this is what I’m supposed to do.” Before going into more formal training, she’s getting as much experience as she can in as many genres as possible – which aside from the fun quotient, was one of her principal motives for auditioning for the G&S show. “It’s my first time doing panto – a very different style of theatre in which you’re always interacting with the audience,” she said. “Unlike other plays in which the script is everything, you’re encouraged to stray from it and play on the energy of the audience – it’s been a very enriching experience.” Also enriching, she said, have been her forays into Shakespeare – she played Lady Capulet in Romeo and Juliet in her last year at EMS, followed by Hermia in

A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Deltabased Knockout Theatre. “It’s one of my favourite styles of theatre,” Yott said. “His language speaks to me and I love performing it.” She also gained very different experience in Smile, The Musical for Vancouver-based youth company Awkward Stage Productions. “That was taking this ’80s musical flop and rebirthing it – and all the adult roles were represented by puppets, which we also operated.” Pantomime or not, Beauty and the Beast, directed by FVGSS veteran Mike Balser, depends a lot on the chemistry between Belle and her hairy inamorata, and Yott says she’s glad to be working with co-star Sean Donnelly. “He’s insanely talented and he’s got an amazing voice,” she said. “I feel like we’ve developed a lot of chemistry. It’s been very enjoyable – he’s a really great guy, which is good because we have to, essentially, fall in love on stage and he’s never made it weird.” “I think it’s really clicking,” said Donnelly, son of famed anthem singer and musical educator Mark and brother of soprano Colleen who has, herself, conSee PANTOMIME / Page 51

Pantomime: Opened this week at Surrey Arts Centre From page 50 tributed memorable performances to a number of FVGSS shows (“When you come from my family, you pretty much have to know how to sing and read music,” he noted). He said he is enjoying working with Yott too. “We come from really different backgrounds, as far as performance styles,” he said. “I’ve done a lot more singing, but she’s done a lot more acting and dancing. It’s been interesting playing to each other’s strengths and seeing how that developed.” For someone raised on ‘liturgical polyphony’ – he’s also a member of an eight-voice choir devoted to lesser known works of Renaissance composer Pierluigi da Palestrina – it’s been a stretch working with ’70s and ’80s pop songs like Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Alone Again, Naturally and The Time Of My Life (from Dirty Dancing), he admitted. “I also get to dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller,” Donnelly added. But, while he’s done Gilbert & Sullivan chorus roles in the past, he’s having a great time in his first panto, he acknowledges. If things had gone according to the original plan, Donnelly, also a talented hockey goalie, would be on the ice rather than the stage this winter. “The Christmas pantomime is right in the middle of hockey season,” he said. But Donnelly, who completed a first year at Waltham College in Massachusetts on a hockey scholarship, has decided to take a time-out for a year to re-evaluate the direction of his post-secondary studies. “It was really a last minute decision to audition,” he said. “I’d just decided I wasn’t going back to school, when I was talking to a friend in FVGSS – and he said if I was going to be in town, I should audition.” He’s glad he did, although he admits that working with the wigs, make-up and bulked-up costume has produced its share of challenges. But he’s trying to let that work for the character, he said. “It’s really the same thing the Beast is going through – he’s about more than what’s going on the exterior. He has to be able to get past that to convey his inner emotions to Belle.” Evening performances of Beauty and the Beast are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays until Dec. 4 at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.) with matinées Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. For tickets, visit tickets.surrey.ca or call 604-501-5566.

The Deltaport Terminal, Road and Rail Improvement Project is a series of improvements to the existing Deltaport Terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta to increase container capacity by 600,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit containers) to 2.4 million TEUs. The project works have a low potential for causing environmental impacts, as the improvements would be implemented mostly within the existing terminal, road and rail footprint. Work will not occur within the marine environment. You can provide feedback and learn more about the project by:
