Surrey, Delta bracing for harsh winter More salt, equipment at the ready by Kevin Diakiw SURREY AND Delta will stress test
their snow-clearing abilities this year as forecasters are calling for an extremely harsh winter. Surrey re-examined its snow removal capacity two years ago after the region was socked in for weeks under heavy snowfall. Public reaction was so intense, the city phone line was unable to handle NorthWest the volume calls. Weathernet of Since then, Surrey has increased its winter fleet by 33 per cent to a total of 44 pieces of snow-clearing equipment. The city also now has 66 drivers, allowing 26 pieces of equipment to work around the clock.
There will be at least “two major arctic outbreaks with severe cold. Potentially three.�

Vehicle levy on the table ‘Transportation improvement fee’ an option for funding expanded transit by Diane Strandberg HIGHER PROPERTY taxes or a vehicle levy?
Those are the choices Metro Vancouver residents will be asked to make when TransLink rolls out a public consultation process to get input on how to close a $400-million gap in Evergreen Line funding. Friday, the TransLink board added a “transportation improvement fee� – otherwise
known as a vehicle levy – to the list of options for raising $39.3 million to build the Evergreen Line and extend the United Boulevard from Coquitlam into New Westminster. Alternatively, $68 million is needed for those projects plus other transportation improvements, including SkyTrain station upgrades, restoring funding to bike and major road network capital programs, providing additional service throughout the existing bus network, and new
rapid bus services on King George Boulevard and Highway 1. Until now, property taxes were the only way to quickly raise funds for the long-awaited rapid transit system but the board opted to include a vehicle levy even though there is no mechanism to collect the fees, which would range between $15 and $55 for the smaller package of transportation improvements and

ONE DROP OF OIL MAKES A DIFFERENCE. The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA) is a not-for-profit organization responsible for the implementation of a province-wide collection and recycling system for used oil, oil filters and plastic oil containers. Since its launch in 2003, BCUOMA has achieved significant results in preventing used oil and used oil products from ending up in B.C. landfills. Due to the success of the BCUOMA program, British Columbia now has one of the highest recovery rates in the country.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
2009 RECOVERY RATES WERE:
Empty plastic oil bottles can be recycled into new containers, plastic flowerpots, plastic pipe, and guardnails.
About one-half of the recycled oil is re-refined into new lubricating oil while the remainder is used as a fuel in asphalt plants and pulp mills. Oil filters are crushed to remove the oil and sent to a steel mill to make other metal products such as rebar, nails and wire.
On July 1 2011, BCUOMA will begin the collection of automotive antifreeze and antifreeze containers USED OIL
76.9% RECOVERY
USED OIL FILTERS
90.4% RECOVERY
USED OIL CONTAINERS
80.8% RECOVERY
You can do your part by ensuring that every drop of used oil, every filter and every container is brought to a collection facility during regular business hours so it can be disposed of properly.
In order to raise awareness for used oil recycling within the province of British Columbia, the BC Used Oil Management Association executed its fifth annual summer ambassador program. From May to September, a team of two students embarked on a tour of the province spreading the message that ‘one drop of oil makes a difference’. The goal of the program was to encourage the responsible and proper recycling of used oil materials. Travelling in a Volkswagen Jetta Clean diesel TDI, provided
by Volkswagen Canada, the BCUOMA Summer Ambassadors visited 457 collection facilities in 121 different BC municipalities, including communities on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, the B.C. Rockies/Kootenays, Thomspon/Okanagan, Cariboo/ Northern B.C. and the Vancouver Coast and Mountains. The Ambassador Team also attended eight summer events, where they interacted with the public, spreading the message that ‘one drop of oil makes a difference’.

Green space advocate Wady Lehmann died last month by Kevin Diakiw
SURREY HAS lost one of its great defenders of green space. Wady Lehmann, member of the Green Timbers Heritage Society, was known for his tireless work keeping the Green Timbers Urban Forest pristine. Before that, he was active in the Second World War, working with the British Secret Service agency MI6. “He leapt from one war to another with equal zeal,” said daughter Susan, referring to his battle to save green space in this city. Lehmann died on Sept. 14 after a nine-month battle with pneumonia and infections. He was 92. Longtime friend Peter Maarsman remembers Lehmann as a man who knew Green Timbers from corner to corner. Familiar with every trail, stream and tree, he led tours in Wady the forest, drew Lehmann maps to clarify Green Timbers trails, coordinated labelling of the trees, and always mentored the public. Friend Robyn Guinn said Lehmann “was not only a real likable guy but also a force for nature. The forest, the critters, the community... all whom he touched will surely miss him.” In 1993, Lehmann won the Surrey Citizen of the Year Award for his community work. The past 10 years he had been directing the rehabilitation of the Green Timbers Arboretum and the Commemorative Plantations on behalf of the B.C. ministry of forests and the Green Timbers Heritage Society. He also sat on the committee discussing the widening of the Fraser Highway, and helped supervise workers during Surrey Natural Area Plan programs, which upgraded the trails in urban forests. Lehmann’s wife Betty passed away in March of this year. As such, Susan is holding a service honouring both her parents on Friday, Oct. 22 (which would be Wady’s 93rd birthday) at 2 p.m. at First Memorial Funeral Services, 14835 Fraser Hwy. Fittingly, the funeral home is next to Green Timbers Park. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Roads: Cleared by priority From page 1

Surrey also boosted its salt storage to 21,000 tonnes – 4,000 more than was needed two years ago. Delta, which doesn’t typically get hit as hard as Surrey, has 3,400 tonnes of salt available. Delta has also added to two plows and a twotonne dump truck to its fleet. The effectiveness of measures in both municipalities may be tested this year, as weather forecasters are anticipating a winter similar to that of two years ago. NorthWest Weathernet Inc., the Seattle company Surrey hires for
long-term forecasts, says the potential for arctic outbreaks is higher than expected for the second half of November. It also predicts the Lower Mainland will see some “surprise” snow events – including at sea level when precipitation gets particularly heavy. There will be at least “two major arctic outbreaks with severe cold. Potentially three,” NorthWest Weathernet says. “The first is most likely in December, with a second more severe one in January. March events are also a high threat too.” Gerry McKinnon, Surrey’s manager of operations, feels the city
will be able to maintain the levels of service provided in past years. That means 1,400 lane kilometres of arterial roads, major collectors, bus routes and steep grades will be cleared first. The second priority will be 950 lane kilometres of secondary roads in residential areas and access roads to long-term facilities. All other local roads will be served last. Delta has a similar set of priorities for snow clearing. Surrey will be providing a list of private contractors on its website for residents who need their driveways and cul-de-sacs plowed.

Surrey: Information fair Oct. 23 From page 1
$30 to $90 for the full package. The charge would depend on the vehicle’s engine size. “Property tax is not a preferred way to pay for transportation,” said TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie, who said the transportation authority’s board drew that conclusion after hearing from the TransLink mayors’ council last week. The pubic will now be able to comment on the two funding packages and the options for paying for them either online or in person. There is a feedback form at www.translink.ca as well as an online forum where people can post their opinions. In Surrey, a transportation fair has been scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, 13458 107A Ave. The public can learn more about the funding options and provide feedback. “We need to deliver this information by the end of the month,” Hardie said in explaining the short
turnaround time for public comment. The property tax option, which was first proposed to pay for transportation improvements, was loudly criticized by the region’s mayors. But Hardie cautioned that the transportation improvement levy will require a mechanism to collect it and “we don’t have it.” Meanwhile, the property tax option is still on the table. Hardie said property taxes would have to raise $5 per $100,000 of assessed value (about $31 on a $600,000 home) for the smaller package or $9.20 per $100,000 of assessed value (about $54 on the same home) for the larger package of transportation improvements, which would include restoring funding to bike and road upgrades, and improving bus service. According to TransLink, the mayors’ council must decide on the funding source and project package by Dec. 31 in order to meet the deadline required for signed agreements so the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road projects can proceed with the support of the federal government.
The federal government has committed $416.7 million toward the project under the Building Canada Fund. There is no deadline for using the money from Ottawa, as some officials have previously claimed. But Hardie said signed agreements are necessary for the two projects to go ahead. The federal government has committed to contributing $65 million toward the $130-million North Fraser Perimeter Road project, which would bypass the current bailey bridge to Braid Street for more direct access to New Westminster and remove a traffic bottleneck. According to Dale Parker, chair of the TransLink board, public comment is key to the decisionmaking process “Before a supplement can be provided to the Mayors’ Council and the Regional Transportation Commissioner, TransLink must consult the public on how to pay for proposed projects and that consultation must focus only on funding sources our legislation currently allows us to implement,” Parker said in a press release. dstrandberg@tricitynew com

OPINION
Wednesday October 20 2010
Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at 5450 152 St., Surrey, B.C.
TRANSLINK FUNDING
RAESIDE
A blue-sky idea
T
ime is money and both are short, so here’s a quick way to raise cash to fund the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road: Scrap AirCare. AirCare was a good idea for its time but the 18-year-old program for reducing vehicle emissions is starting to show its age. An AirCare review committee found that only half of all cars on the road in the Lower Mainland are subject to AirCare and, of the vehicles tested, 88 per cent pass. Although 5,000 cars a month still fail the test, it’s only a matter of time before they hit the junk heap and are replaced with newer, cleaner-running vehicles. So why not take away that $45-per-car levy for AirCare and replace it a $45-per-car levy that will go directly into transportation funding? Drivers are used to paying the price so they won’t miss the money. Besides, transportation improvements will help reduce emissions by getting more people out of single-occupancy vehicles and on to public transit, and by reducing the amount of idling traffic. This idea is not without hurdles. For one, AirCare would have to be dismantled and that would mean a loss of jobs and significant transition period. There is as yet no mechanism in place to collect the levy for TransLink, either through ICBC or some other agency, and the province would have to act quickly to get one running as the funding source is needed by the end of this year. As well, AirCare only generates $20 million and year and TransLink needs between $39 million and $68 million depending on the package of transportation improvements it chooses. Many more people would have to pay the vehicle levy than currently pay AirCare and they would have to pay it more often – probably annually instead of every other year. But the smaller their car, the lower their fee would be, as TransLink is already considering a sliding scale depending on the size of the vehicle engine. For the most part, AirCare has worked and the region has seen a decline in auto emissions since the program was introduced in 1992. But it’s an inconvenience and a tax for those with older cars who maintain their vehicles and pass the test year in and year out. Leave property taxes alone and eliminate AirCare so vehicle levies can be used to get more cars off the road.

riving along a major suburban thoroughfare on a recent sunny afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice a woman casually relieving herself on the grass between the sidewalk and the street. The highly visible location seemed deliberately chosen, perhaps as a street person’s farewell to another golden summer in B.C.’s most peed-upon city. This sort of flagrant offence against decency would still have shock value in most B.C. communities, but here in Victoria the likeliest reaction would be, “Hey, you’re on the wrong street.” The Pandora Avenue squat, as it came to be known, was this summer’s politically correct theatre of the absurd, and as usual it was not rated for family viewing. A filthy little tent city sprang up on a broad downtown boulevard across from one of the local homeless handout services, migrating in from local parks. Public peeing was among the milder problems on Pandora. This was well illustrated by its sudden end in September.

This has been going on for generations, and it apparently remains a path of choice for winter refugees all the way from Quebec. Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman was on Sean Leslie’s CKNW radio program the other day, talking up B.C.’s efforts to get people off the street. He did allow that the southwestern corner of the province does have a couple of different factors to consider. “The big one is probably weather, so we do get some in-migration at times of the year because the weather is different in other areas of Canada,” Coleman said, demonstrating his mastery of understatement. Warm weather and weak local government are a bad combination. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com.

Meters not welcome in Newton RE: PARKING METERS in Newton.
The last thing the residents and businesses need in Newton is pay parking. As a long-time resident of Newton and as a person with a business and many friends who live in Newton, I can tell you people are not amused. No consultation, no explanation, no justification. Amongst all the claims of open local government, and our local leaders’ claims of how they want to listen, this is almost like a mini HST affair. No one said this was coming – actually in light of pay parking having been removed in Newton, when it was arbitrarily installed in front of the now defunct casino (another loss for Newton), one would feel comfortable with the notion pay parking wouldn’t return. We don’t need another cash grab. The City of Surrey just decided some area has to suffer, and it will be Newton. Guildford said no, Whalley said no, and we say no. Our taxes already paid for the roads, and they now pay for the upkeep and transit. If all the “anywhere, any kind, any type of development” mentality and massive growth everywhere isn’t enough to pay the bills for the city, then we have a problem and the problem is in city hall.

Huge tax hit on airport parking fees RECENTLY WE HAD to pick up a family member
from the Vancouver International Airport. Since the discharge time of arriving passengers can only be guessed, we parked our car in the available “economy” parking lot. A little extra walk on a beautiful night could be of no harm. The surprise came when we paid for the privilege of leaving our car in the “economy” parking lot for 38 minutes – $8.50 Driving into the parking lot, I remembered reading $ 4.25 for the first half hour then a daily rate of approximately $21.
At the time, my thoughts were of the upcoming reunion with our family members. Being the airport, where everything is pricier, even with this in mind, the $ 8.50 parking fee came as a slight shock. Looking at the receipt I discovered in the breakdown among HST, also PST, and that amount being higher than the HST. At the bottom of the receipt, after the thank you, the explanation – PST (Parking Sales Tax: 21 per cent). Wow, 21 per cent and 12 per cent. That is 33 per cent tax. And then on the back of the receipt the statement reads, “We are not respon-
sible for any loss or damage to your vehicle or its contents resulting from fire, theft, collision or any other cause whatsoever.” This issue can be looked at from different perspectives. However, my beef is with the Parking Sales Tax. How could that have been implemented without public consultation? My guess is that airports around the world consider themselves as little countries, in a country, with their own rules and regulations benefitting only their own existence – a sign of our time.

Valley ignored by TransLink THE RECENT announcement
by TransLink dismissing the Interurban corridor from transit consideration shows the provincial government to be completely out of touch when it comes to meeting the needs of people South of the Fraser River. Rail For the Valley has never
claimed the Interurban corridor should be the only route for light rail through Surrey. Rather, due to the nature of the line, light rail could be implemented quickly and with extreme economy over long distances, thereby establishing an attractive initial base from which a more extensive light rail network
could grow. By dismissing the Interurban corridor, firstly Translink is dismissing outright the needs of thousands of residents of Delta who will not be served by any of the transit extensions TransLink has proposed. Secondly, TransLink is dismissing Newton, South Surrey, Clo-

Who leads the NDP? WHO EXACTLY is the leader of the
NDP in this province? I swear it must be Bill Vander Zalm as he seems to be the only public figure taking the Liberals to task over their totalitarian-esque political tactics. Carole James’ absence from the front lines of the recent political landscape however, has been quite refreshing. Now NDP, please put someone in charge that actually has a chance to win the next election. Please. Jeff Leggat, Duncan

In dismissing the Interurban corridor as an option for rapid transit – like these light rail cars in Valencia, Spain – a letter writer argues TransLink is ignoring the needs of communities south of the Fraser River.
verdale and Langley, communities that will likely have to wait decades for light rail to come. Light rail implementation on the existing Interurban tracks would cost about $5 million/km, according to a recent comprehensive study of the corridor by a respected firm with expertise in light rail. Light rail construction when there is no track available, however, usually costs on the order of $20-30 million/km, or greater than $100 million/km for Skytrain. With the Evergreen Skytrain Line already delayed 20 years due to its cost, one can only guess how long these communities will have to wait. Thirdly, TransLink is dismissing the people of Abbotsford and Chilliwack, two fast-growing cities in the Fraser Valley that, without the Interurban, will be lucky to get light rail to their communities in the next 40 years. While Abbotsford and Chilliwack are not a part of TransLink, artificial boundaries must never be used to write off regions by an organization created ostensibly to serve the public good. Fourthly, TransLink is dismissing the taxpayers of British Columbia, who will ultimately be left paying the bill for transit decisions that do not even consider the taxpayer as part of the equation. TransLink has not listened to the people of the Fraser Valley. Ultimately, the Provincial government directs TransLink and must stand accountable. Citizens of the Fraser Valley must ask themselves, should they continue to support a government that so blatantly ignores their interests?

Time to cut federal government spending THE LATEST ECONOMIC update given by
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty shows that program spending will increase by another $21 billion in the next five years. This will elevate this year’s deficit to a Canadian record of $55 billion. These numbers are reminiscent of the big spending Liberal budgets of years gone by. The infiltration of the Conservative Party of Canada by the Red Tories has been seen for a number of years already and now it is to the
point where one can hardly tell the difference between the two main parties on the federal political scene. Voters need to ask what happened to the small government Conservatives that we elected in 2008. Never mind crazy ideas to build hockey rinks, Canada’s national debt stands to extend past the $625-billion mark by 2015, and the bureaucracy continues to be expanded. This year it has grown by another 3.4 per
cent, now topping the 300,000 employee mark. It’s time for Canadians to start demanding less of their government. Instead of continuing in the red ink, it’s time for some bold leadership that is intent on bringing in fiscal restraint, so future generations are not left paying for the liberal spending habits of today.

Disposal fees to rise Metro hikes rate at transfer stations by 36 per cent by Jeff Nagel HOUSEHOLDS AND BUSINESSES
will pay sharply more to dump garbage at transfer stations next year. Metro Vancouver intends to raise waste tipping fees 18 per cent from $82 to $97 per tonne as of Jan. 1. The new price amounts to a 36-per-cent increase in just two years and Metro officials have signaled continued hikes in future years are likely. Next year will also be the first time it will cost $20 to get rid of an old mattress. Metro officials say the charge is because it’s difficult to process mattresses for recycling. Tipping fees for recyclables is also going up. It will cost $63 per tonne (up from $59) to drop off yard and garden waste for recycling. Food waste will also be part of that green waste category as of next spring. Because green waste will cost $34 less per tonne than dumping regular garbage, officials hope there will be incentive to separate compostable waste. Clean, untreated wood waste will also be accepted at the green waste rate. Minimum dumping fees of $10 for small loads ($20 at peak times at some transfer stations) remain unchanged. Waste-handling costs are rising and a decline in incoming garbage – due to both the recession and increased recycling
FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER
Tipping fees at Metro Vancouver transfer stations will increase in the new year. – means there’s less revenue to defray costs. Part of the cost increase is because Metro is spending more on waste planning, regulatory and recycling initiatives – many mandated under its proposed Solid Waste Management Plan, which commits the region to much higher recycling rates. Metro will also spend about $1 million next year operating the Ashcroft Ranch, which the regional district originally bought as a potential new landfill site until the province
blocked that option. Some municipalities pay different tipping fees. In Maple Ridge, the tipping fee will be $101 next year, because that city tacks on an extra $4 to fund local recycling programs. Abbotsford waste dropped at the Matsqui Transfer Station will pay $91 per tonne to Metro – $6 less because that city isn’t required to contribute to Metro regional waste services – plus an extra $1.35 per tonne that goes to the Fraser Valley Regional District.

The victim, who either escaped or was abandoned by her abductor, was picked up by police in New Westminster later in the day and transported to hospital for treatment of non-lifethreatening injuries. Vancouver Police Insp. Eric Grummisch told reporters the woman was found at a New Westminster mall suffering from stab wounds. On the same day, Surrey Mounties arrested the suspect at the Washworld car wash located at 72 Avenue and 132 Street, apparently while he was cleaning his car. He was turned over to the VPD. According to some unconfirmed media reports, the suspect was trying to remove blood stains from his vehicle at the time.

As a result, a 47-yearold Surrey man has been arrested for allegedly abducting a 27-year-old sex trade worker at knifepoint from the Cassandra Hotel in the 3000 block of Kingsway in Vancouver on Sunday morning. Ivan William Arnold is charged with kidnapping, unlawful confinement, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and uttering threats. Around 9:30 a.m., Vancouver police responded to a 911 call of a screaming woman being forced into a vehicle near the hotel. The vehicle drove off, but not before an eyewitness recorded the licence plate number and relayed it to police. The suspect was arrested at a Surrey car

Clearing Mackie Park Bushes removed from area of fatal attack by Dan Ferguson A YELLOW Corporation of Delta tractor was ripping out the bushes along the trail that winds through Mackie Park in North Delta Friday morning, reducing the greenery to ankle height. Anything that could be used to hide behind or block the view of a pedestrian appeared to be a target, including a metre-high boulder carried out in the tractor excavator bucket and dumped near the entrance. Tree branches nearest the ground had been lopped off to an eightfoot height with a chain saw. A footpath through the small municipal park had been widened and raised with gravel to give pedestrians a better view of their surroundings. The clearing was ordered after the Sept. 25 daylight attack that claimed the life of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei, a North Delta high school student who was walking through the park. Police officially released the site a week ago after a detailed search for evidence wrapped up.

Bushes in Mackie Park have been removed following a daylight attack that claimed the life of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei. The clearing work began Tuesday, carried out by the municipal Parks, Recreation and Culture department in consultation with the Delta Police Community Policing through Environmental Planning, a team of experts in crime prevention through landscaping and architectural design. The municipal parks commission said it is reviewing other â&#x20AC;&#x153;heavily forested parkland areas of concernâ&#x20AC;? in Delta to see if they need trimming, too. A report is expected later this month. A makeshift memorial remained at the entrance
to Mackie Park Friday, with flowers, teddy bears and pictures of Laura attached to a park gate with written messages expressing grief and offering condolences. The Delta Police Department said a public appeal for help by parents Mike and Rachael Szendrei on Wednesday generated less than a dozen tips overnight. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Delta Police at 604-9464411 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS.

Appearance is arguably the most sought after and worry causing thought in today’s world. We all have, at one point or another, concerned ourselves over some kind of aspect regarding our general appearance. Aesthetic Laser has made it their #1 priority to help everyone, be it men or women. They’ve got the abilities and technologies to help you with some of your most important beauty needs. Aesthetic Laser Group offers a safe, comfortable and effective way to rejuvenate your skin, remove unwanted hair and revitalize hair growth with little to no downtime. And now, Aesthetic Laser has introduced Bio Sculpture Nails, an advanced way of getting beautiful nails without ruining your natural finger nails. They use the Palomar pulsed light system to treat your various skin problems. Palomar offers the safest, most versatile, effective and comfortable aesthetic treatment
available. This system spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin which in turn means quicker treatments. Their rejuvenation process uses pulses of concentrated light to treat sun damage, sun spots, rosacea, and spider veins. The result is skin clear of sun damage and visible veins for a rejuvenated fresh appearance. Aesthetic Laser Group also helps you tackle hair loss, wrinkles and acne scars among many other similar “aging” conditions. Aesthetic Laser uses a process called the StarLux Fractional Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing System. This system delivers light in an array of narrow, focused “microbeams” to create columns of coagulation within the skin. These columns initiate a natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue- which in turn results in improved skin appearance. This same process also helps

illegally strip searching four women at the Douglas (Peace Arch) border was found guilty this week of three counts of sexual assault and one count of breach of public trust. A B.C. Supreme Court jury returned their guilty verdict against Daniel Greenhalgh Monday, following a five-week trial and less than four hours of deliberations. The verdict is “true, just and based on the compelling evidence of these young women,” prosecutor Winston Sayson said in a statement. The jury heard closing arguments from both defence and Crown lawyers last week. Greenhalgh had been on trial since Sept. 13, charged in connection with incidents

And while McCarthy had argued that two of the women were tainted when an investigating corporal read them information on Greenhalgh’s arrest from a press release, Godlewska countered that three of the women’s allegations shared an additional 14 “significant” similarities that had not been in the police statement. Throughout McCarthy’s closing arguments, he referred to the women’s reports as “impossible” and said repeatedly they lied about what had happened. One victim even admitted to lying on the stand when she denied talking with her friend about what happened on the night in question, he noted. Sayson said the verdict “has settled who the real liar is.” Greenhalgh is to learn Thursday when he will be sentenced.

alleged to have taken place in and around the border in 2007, on April 13 and 15 and May 26. During the trial, three women testified Greenhalgh touched them inappropriately during strip searches he conducted on his own in areas including a men’s public washroom. A fourth woman said she was made to strip, but was not touched. While defence lawyer Joe McCarthy had argued that similarities in the women’s reports indicated they had conspired to fabricate the accusations against Greenhalgh, prosecutor Christina Godlewska said it is those same similarities that proved the women were telling the truth. “They should be believed because it is simply impossible to imagine (the women) could have made up a story that is so similar in so many ways.”

Small Business Week® Huge corporations are always in the news But they aren’t driving the economy by Rick Kupchuk “The big businesses, and some of the medium-sized ones, get all the publicity,” admits Nigel Watkinson, president of the Surrey Board of Trade. “But it’s the small businesses that employ over 70 per cent of the working population. “They are the centrepiece of the economy.” The provincial government’s Small Business, Technology and Economic Development ministry estimates there were approximately 395,900 small businesses operating in B.C. last year (2009), employing more than one million people. That’s 57 per cent of all private-sector jobs in B.C., the highest rate in the country. B.C. also has the highest share of self-employed workers in Canada, making up 19.7 per cent of total employment. “They’re the ones who need to be stimulated as much as possible,” said Watkinson. “They’re the ones who need to be able to borrow capital to build and expand. “But they’re the ones who have the most problems, because they are often in a risky environment.” A struggling economy that is only now starting to show signs of recovery after two difficult years is just one of those challenges. But while acknowledging times are still tough, Watkinson said the worst is over. “Most people feel the recession has bottomed out, but we’re certainly not through it or over it,” he said. “It’s still out there, people are still having problems. Their orders are down. “But they feel more optimistic than a year ago. They feel they’re through the worst of it.” There’s optimism, he said, noting the business climate is much stronger than it was than when it was at its worst 24 months ago. But there are gains left to be made, he cautioned.
“There are still a lot of problems, mainly because we do a lot of business with the United States,” Watkinson noted. “The U.S. has slowed down, and to some extent they’re trying to buy local as well. “Everybody’s waiting for a consusmer recovery down there, but that isn’t going to happen for three or four years because everyone is trying to get themselves out of debt.” Domestically, small business is also hurt by the uncertainty surrounding the HST. The tax took effect July 1, but is subject to a referendum 13 months from now – a vote which could abolish the new tax after less than two years. “The public feels it is an additional tax, which it isn’t,” said Watkinson, acknowledging the widespread opposition to its implementation. “It’s a tax that replaces an existing tax.” Business is very supportive of the new measure, he said. But any benefit to the economy it might generate is being slowed by consumers possibly delaying major purchases until after the referendum. “It’s a killer,” Watkinson said of the uncertainty. “Businesses have changed their whole accounting system so they don’t have to track PST any longer. Then if we reverse this whole thing in a year’s time, it’s going to create a lot of extra work for everybody. “The uncertainty is causing a lot of damage right now.” Still, the big picture is looking a little brighter. Businesses have come out of the past two years of economic difficulty in better shape, and once consumer confidence is restored, they will prosper. “One little thing can tweak the turnaround. People just need to have something positive happen,” Watkinson said. “One thing could be a reduction in the HST.”

Find the Best Electrical Contractor for your Projects with this 5-Step Checklist When it comes to building or home improvement projects, choosing the right contractor is one of the most important and sometimes hardest decisions you will make. While the right contractor will ensure your project will be professionally completed on time and on budget, the wrong contractor could not only cost you your peace of mind, but also your time and money. So how do you choose the best contractor? The friendly professionals at Surrey’s Crimson Electric Inc. offer five simple tips that will help ensure you end up with quality workmanship, on time delivery, on-budget completion and, most importantly, a great big smile. 1.Never hire an electrician who says these five words: “You don’t need a permit”. “Actually, more than likely you do and only electricians who hold a valid certification can obtain one,” advises Chad Bernst, general contractor and owner of Crimson Electric Inc. 2. Be sure to ask about daily work practices and work ethic. “Inconsistent work schedules, tardiness, messy sites and sloppy workmanship are bad habits that end up costing the customer in more ways than one,” said Bernst. “If you’re not comfortable, don’t hire them.” 3. Check references and their involvement in the community. “Ask for references for the same type of job you need done and make sure they are
part of the Better Business Bureau,” recommends Bernst. “Qualified journeyman electricians are master craftsmen that take pride in their profession – and it shows.”
Making the move from independent living to residential care can be an emotional one. At Guildford Seniors Village, extra steps are taken to ensure that the transition is smooth and comfortable for residents and family members alike. “Our staff really care about the residents,” says Joti Takhar, marketing coordinator. “Some of them have lived here since we opened in 2001 and they say they wouldn’t live anywhere else.” Life at Guildford Seniors Village is really about worry-free living. Residents receive 24 hour nursing care, assistance with personal hygiene, therapeutic recreation and housekeeping services including laundry. “There is an Alzheimer’s and dementia unit on the first floor to address the needs of those particular residents,” says Takhar. Meal plans are designed with each resident’s dietary requirements in mind. “We have a dietician who takes into consideration an individual’s nutritional needs and creates a meal plan exclusively for them,” says Takhar. The rooms at Guildford Seniors Village are tasteful and aesthetically pleasing. Though quality furniture is provided, residents can bring their own if they wish. From the landscaped grounds and fountains to individual rooms, Guildford Seniors Village is indeed its own small community. Comfortable lounges are available for visits, and four bathing spas with heat lamps and soaker tubs are at the residents’ disposal. There is even a beauty salon on site. “Transition is never easy,” says Takhar. “But once a little time has passed, families gain peace of mind because they know their loved ones are being well taken care of; they’re eating properly and are in a safe environment. It’s not long before the staff and management here become like family to them, too.” To schedule a tour, please contact Joti at 604.582.0808 ext. 125

4. Beware of false bids. “Many customers are duped into believing they are getting a great deal when, in fact, essential services and products have not been included in the quote,” warns Bernst.
Serving the Small Business Sector Since 1959
5. Ensure the contractor can provide a free written warranty and/or guarantee. “Never hire a contractor that cannot produce a written warranty or guarantee. If there is a problem, a verbal agreement may not hold up.”

OCTOB E R 17-23, 2010 CHANGING LIVES - ONE IDEA AT A TIME Award-winning society continues helping Surrey’s entrepreneurs
by Chelsea Haeber The Self-Employment and Entrepreneur Development Society (SEEDS) has been helping Surrey’s entrepreneurs since 1998 – and with a 97-per-cent success rate, there’s no doubt the non-profit organization has changed more than a few lives. SEEDS graduate Catherine Ann is no exception. A dozen years ago, she was 40 years old, homeless and didn’t have a penny to her name – so she devised a plan to make millions. She would rob a bank. The scheme made headway until Ann picked up her last Employment Insurance cheque. Inside the envelope was an invitation to attend a SEEDS information session. Her husband Mark (who was a friend at the time) convinced her to go – he knew Ann had
potential, and he also knew robbing a bank wasn’t the right solution to end their poverty. “It (SEEDS) was a derelict’s last stop,” Ann said. She ventured to the society’s Newton classrooms with an idea her son gave her: open a mystery shopping business. Her service would let clients see how their business appears from the customers’ point of view, and possibly improving the way some businesses treat their cliental – something she personally felt needed to change. Ann’s employees would act as undercover agents, inspecting the way the business works – without the business knowing who they are. At SEEDS, she presented the concept to a panel of successors and was accepted into the course.

SURREY BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS NOMINEE
Honoured to be a nominee for this prestigious award From the moment it delivered its inaugural load on March 5, 2005, Safeco Trucklines Ltd. has been on a one-way route to success. Nominated for a 2010 Business Excellence Award from the Surrey Board of Trade, Safeco is the fastest growing full truck load and LTL carrier servicing British Columbia, Alberta, and the western and central United States. In just ¿ve years, it has grown from having three trucks and a staff of four to 19 employees (including company drivers) and an entire Àeet of late model trucks. “It’s an honour to be recognized for this prestigious award,” said company president Tony Sahota. “We aim for perfection through hard work, professionalism and accountability, and we are always trying to ¿nd new ways to raise the bar of excellence,” added Gary Gill, Safeco’s vice president. Safeco employs satellite tracking, which allows clients to pinpoint the exact location of their freight, anywhere and any time, via the Web. And with full access to service centres and truck stops across North America, Safeco’s drivers and knowledgeable operations staff, headed by Raj Dhillon, can ensure quick solutions to any untimely road problems. “We consider our clients to be our business partners,” said Sahota. “They rely on us to provide optimum supply chain security. It gives them peace of mind and is one of the biggest reasons why we get repeat orders.” Currently hauling around 100 loads per week, Safeco’s sales have increased over 600 per cent since incorporation. Its Àeet includes 53-foot, light weight, dry-van tandem trailers, which are capable of carrying over 47,000 pounds in gross weight. In addition to its long list of safety and service credentials, Safeco is rated “A1” by the Better Business Bureau and Duns & Bradstreet. With plans to expand across the continent, the equal opportunity employer isn’t only proving its unwavering commitment to clients and employees.

CHANGING LIVES - ONE IDEA AT A TIME continued... At SEEDS, she presented the concept to a panel of successors and was accepted into the course. The eight-week program is taught by skilled business professionals who introduced Anne and other participants to marketing sk ills, cash flow, finance statements, and techniques on how to move her business forward. Following the classroom lessons, the team behind SEEDS helps guide each individual and their business for 40 weeks. Finishing the program was the first thing Anne had ever completed. She never graduated high school. She left SEEDS with a paycheque and a strong understanding of business – and she combined that knowledge with her own creativity. “I had to think outside the box.” The money allowances provided by SEEDS each week presented Ann the opportunity to find a home to live, which quickly turned into her office. Anne said she recorded telephones ringing onto a tape recorder, then replay it in the background as she called potential clients – simulating the sounds of a busy office. “I would project I had a bigger company than I did,” Ann said. Not shortly after, her business really took off – and today she is president of Consumer Connection Inc., a multi-million-dollar mystery shopping company. Ann won the 2001 New Entrepreneur of the Year award from the City of Surrey and was a finalist in 2003 for the New Entrepreneur of the Year Award from Ernst and Young. She has toured North America, she speaks in colleges and recently she released a memoir of her survivals and triumphs, Beautiful Button. If it weren’t for SEEDS and her husband, Ann believes would most likely be behind bars.
“Mark believed in me and SEEDS believed in me,” Ann said. And now is as good as any time to start a business in Surrey, said vice president of SEEDS Harpreet Bhatti. Kam Sandhu also graduated from SEEDS in 2002. Sundhu entered the program hoping to follow her passion – teaching preschoolers yoga – yet shortly after entering the program decided she should expand her potential clientele to youth and adults. She says the system works because they have great resources, they connect students with local business owners and they only take on individuals who are serious about starting a business. “If you want to be a winner, you’ve got to hang with the winners,” Sandhu said. Today she owns Creative Spirits Yoga Studio and teaches yoga in elementary and high schools across the Lower Mainland. Although SEEDS helped Sandhu get where she is today, she says the success of a business is ultimately in the hands of the entrepreneur. “They (SEEDS) helped so much with the business aspect, but it comes down to the individual.” In July 2010, SEEDS won the TD Canada Trust Small Business Champion Award. The nomination-based award was given to the nominee who had demonstrated a commitment to promoting small businesses in their community. Some qualifications into the program are individuals must be unemployed, legally entitled to work within Canada, live in the Lower Mainland and have a feasible business idea. SEEDS is located in the 7500 block of 132 St. For more information visit www.seedsbdc. com.

OCTOB E R 17-23, 2010 As the saying goes, it only takes one person to make a difference. And in the case of this innovative business, it only takes one bean.
Stop into Tokyo Sushi’s one of two Surrey locations and you might see owner Blange Pang serving tea to her guests and making sure everyone is well looked after. It’s this kind of hands on approach, not to mention the fresh, Àavourful food, that keeps her customers coming back.
Founded two and a half years ago, ONEbean Coffee Company helps non-profit and community organizations to decrease their dependence on sporadic donations by helping them to create a constant stream of revenue through the sale of its Certified Organic, Certified Fair Trade coffee, tea, syrups and chocolate.
At Tokyo Sushi there is a separate menu just for rolls. Pang says her selection numbers over 50. While you’ll ¿nd the standard California and Dynamite rolls, others are born from her own imagination. “Sometimes at night I start thinking about what I can put on the menu that is different,” said Pang. “I like to mix Àavours and textures, so we have spicy crunchy rolls, Mexican rolls, vegetable rolls with yams or avocado and, of course, seafood rolls.” It was Pang’s Japanese grandmother who inspired her love of the country and its food. Pang incorporates many of her grandmother’s recipes but she creates the sauces herself. “I studied with a Japanese master chef who showed me how to make many dishes and how to make sauces from scratch. We tasted over and over again until we got the right combination. This is what makes us different from so many other restaurants.” Pang travels to Hong Kong ¿ve times a year to source out the best ingredients, always keeping freshness and quality in mind. She goes to great lengths to have something for everyone. Stop in for a Koo roll plate, named after her husband, or share a Love Boat special for two! Cozily tucked into the retail mall near 85th and 120th street is one of Tokyo Sushi’s two popular locations. Clean and comfortable with minimalist décor and seating for about 60 makes for an enjoyable eating experience for all. Tokyo Sushi’s other busy location is conveniently located at 137th and 73rd. Visit either one today and you’ll see why this small business is a big community favourite.
“We support our business partners with long-term, easy to use fundraising strategies,” said Allan Klassen, President. “Our focus is on helping local organizations, but by offering Certified Fair Trade products, we are also supporting the needs of others on a global level.” Through programs such as its Coffee Club, ONEbean makes it easy for people to support important charities and organizations. All they have to do is simply drink ONEbean’s great coffee.
Allan Klassen President & Managing Director ONEbean Coffee Co
“You select your coffee size, type and quantity and we fulfill your order by automatically processing your credit card purchase each month,” explains Klassen. “We then forward a portion of the sale to the organization of your choice.” Businesses can get involved by joining ONEbean’s Coffeeworks: Office program. A monthly office coffee budget can make a huge difference in the community and around the world. People can also purchase a ONEbean “counterpack,” which includes a 20-bag selection of dark roast, medium roast, decaf and espresso coffee. Sports teams and schools can also get in on the action. ONEbean can even customize the coffee label to promote your fundraising efforts. Partial proceeds of all ONEbean sales go to the support of its ONEbean CARES program, which provides funds to charitable organizations in need.

Powerful mortgage solutions that get you approved Whether purchasing a new home, refinancing or wanting to consolidate debt, the folks at All Mortgages Financial know there are no cookie cutter solutions when it comes to residential financing. “Our first priority is to help our clients clearly define their unique needs,” said partner Gord Samuel. “That way, we can tailor the best plan to help them reach both their short and long term goals.” Backed by a 12-member team of industry experts, All Mortgages Financial has built an excellent reputation for providing sound, professional advice for those purchasing investment properties, dealing with credit challenges, in need of help attaining a zero down mortgage or who are unsure of how best to structure their mortgages. “Though it’s a top priority, it’s not simply about finding the best rate,” said Tracy Comber, who recently became a partner in the company. “There are a lot of different factors
that play into determining the most advantageous solution.” In addition to helping first-time home buyers look into credit options, Comber and Samuel say they are always happy to review people’s current mortgage loans to ensure they have the best possible set-up. They also note that when dealing with a mortgage broker, as opposed to a bank, the client’s interests are always number one. “With most of our services, many people aren’t aware that they do not pay for mortgage brokerage services,” said Comber. “It doesn’t cost them anything so I always tell people not to be afraid to ask for our help.” All Mortgages Financial welcomes your questions and offers service in multipile languages. For more information, call one of their knowledgeable mortgage representatives at 604-581-6633 or visit www.allmortgages.ca.

Surrey Eagles’ defenceman Riley Sweeney moves up the ice with the puck – with Coquitlam’s Paul De Jersey in pursuit – during Wednesday night’s game at the South Surrey Arena. The Express won the BCHL contest 7-5. JAMES BROTHERS PHOTOGRAPHY
Express domination continues Coquitlam defeats Eagles for fourth time in five game by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY EAGLES’ struggles
against the Coquitlam Express continued last week, after a 7-5 loss at the Coquitlam Sports Centre Wednesday. The defeat came just five days after a 7-3 loss at the hands of the Express, who have now defeated the Eagles in four of five head-to-head matchups this season. The Eagles had last weekend off, and return to the ice Friday
for another matchup against the Express, this time at South Surrey Arena. On Saturday, the Birds travel to Langley to play the first-place Chiefs, and the two teams will renew hostilities Sunday afternoon, for a 4 p.m. tilt in South Surrey. Last Wednesday, the Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on goals from rookie forward Michael Stenerson and Erik Cooper, but Coquitlam’s special teams drew the home side even before the intermission. Destry
Straight scored a shorthanded marker at 10:41 of the period and Jason Grecica – who played last season in Surrey – scored on the powerplay seven minutes later. In the second period, Straight struck again, as did teammate Riley McIntosh, while the Eagles’ only goal came off the stick of 19-year-old newcomer Scott Holm, who was playing in his first B.C. Hockey League game. Richard Vanderhoek and Jeff Vanderlugt scored third-period
goals for the Eagles, but Brad Reid, Garrick Perry and Straight – the latter into an empty net – all replied for Coquitlam to secure the victory. Perry’s tally came on a penalty shot. Straight finished with three goals and an assist, while Perry and Reid each had three-point nights. Vinny Lessard was between the pipes for Surrey, stopping 23 shots. ■ Despite not playing this weekend, Eagles’ forward Brad
McGowan still leads the BCHL in scoring, with 31 points in 15 games. He has a one-point lead over Trail Smoke Eaters’ sniper Sam Mellor and Langley’s Matt Ius. ■ The Eagles’ pink-and-white home sweaters – which they’ll wear Oct. 22 as part of the team’s breast-cancer awareness fundraiser – are now up for auction, ahead of time, on the team’s website, www.surreyeagles.ca. The auction will continue until the end of October.

afternoon, then handed the Capilano blues a 3-0 setback Sunday. Both games

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich There’s nothing quite as exciting in a harness race as two horses hitting the wire in a photo finish to declare a winner. So you can just image the buzz that went through Fraser Downs last Friday night when a four-horse cluster came thundering home with less than a length separating all four. And to top it all off, it happened in the first of two $25,000 Sales Stakes Finals for 2-yearolds. To paint the picture: Just Ryan (Michael Hennessy) split pacers in mid-stretch to narrowly defeat Gramrun Jake (Tim Brown), Branding Party (Jim Marino) and favourite Midnite in LA (Ed Hensley), who’d been leading for the first half of the race. Just Ryan, owned by Tammie Mosterd and trained by Bob Merschback, finished in a final time of 1:58.1 for win number two of his young racing career. The fillies division of the featured Sales Stakes Finals wasn’t nearly as close when Hensley redeemed himself by driving Just Fiction home as a clear winner in a final time of 1:55.3. That’s a Fraser Downs record time for a 2-year-old filly, much to the delight of owners JJJ Stables and Al Anderson. Just Fiction opened up on the field on the stretch turn, beating Cristina Lake (Jim Marino) and Millbanks Ariel (Rick White), second and third, respectively. Racing resumes at Fraser Downs Friday night (7:00 p.m.) and Sunday afternoon (1:15 p.m.) See you there! djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

BCCAA league games, and sit in second place in Pool A of the nineteam league. Kwantlen is four points back of the UBC - Okanagan Heat with two games to play. “Overall, I’m pretty happy,” said Kwantlen head coach Gordon Smith. “We had some players who really did well. Shannon Reykdal had a very solid weekend. She played very intelligently and composed in the back. We had to adjust on Saturday to the send off of Kathleen Gratz, and our defense absorbed a lot of pressure from Langara near the end of the second half.” The Eagles got an early goal from Delta’s Nicole Gibbons to take a 1-0 lead Saturday against Langara, but the visiting Falcons tied the contest off a corner kick just seven minutes from halftime. But Marissa Dionne, also of Delta, restored the lead before the break, lobbing a loose ball over the Langara netminder for the winning goal. Dionne, Gibbons and Richmond resident Shanay Sangha were the goal scorers Sunday. Kwantlen will play two games away from home next weekend to close out the regular season, kicking off
against the Heat Saturday in Kelowna, then travelling to Kamloops for a Sunday match with the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack. The six-team BCCAA provincial tournament follows a week later, with Kwantlen Polytechnic University hosting both the men’s and

Kwantlen took an early lead on an own goal, but fell 3-2 to Langara Saturday. Nick Storness-Bliss netted the second Eagles goal. The Eagles were blanked 2-0 by Capilano on Sunday. “The team gets better and better every game.” said Kwantlen head coach Ajit Braich. “I wish the league schedule was longer.”

Devils take two from Squamish
OPEN HOUSE
THE NORTH Delta Devils stayed in the race for first place in their division, taking a pair of one-goal victories over the last-place Squamish Wolfpack last weekend. The Devils rode a 26-save shutout from Alex Ahnert to a 1-0 victory Saturday night in Squamish. North Delta fired 32 shots at the Wolfpack net, but managed only a goal from Marco Finucci midway through the second period on a powerplay.
In the rematch Sunday night at the Sungod Arena, North Delta needed overtime for a 5-4 victory after the visitors erased a 3-0 first period deficit. Darren Ascuncion, Coltyn Hansen and Taylan Kornelsen staked the Devils to the three-goal lead after just six minutes of play, but the Wolfpack began to battle back almost immediately. Brady Bjornson got Squamish on the board just 27 seconds after Kornelsen’s tally to make it 3-1 after 20 minutes.
Former Devil Trevor Kang netted a pair of goals in the second period, both of which pulled Squamish to within a goal. Hansen netted his second of the game for North Delta, but Gray Meckling’s goal with less than five minutes to play in the period tied the contest, and chased Devils starting goalie Alex Wind from the net. Ahnert took over in North Delta goal, stopping all 11 shots he faced over the final 27 minutes of play, earning the win
when Julius Ho scored the overtime winner less than three minutes into extra time. The 9-5 (won-lost) Devils are in third place in the Tom Shaw Conference, just two points back of the first place Delta Ice Hawks, and a point behind the Richmond Sockeyes. The Devils visit the Sockeyes in Richmond tomorrow (Thursday) night, then are at home at Sungod Saturday when the Abbotsford Pilots are the visitors at 6:45 p.m.

Marlins: Team of the Year From page 28 nized, but it really is a team award – that’s what I told everybody Saturday night. If not for the players and my assistant coaches, I would never have won,” said Westgard, who’s been nominated for coach-of-the-year honours twice before, but never won until this year. “I guess it was finally my time. It’s the team’s last year at the minor level, so it’s a real nice way to go out, for sure.” With the ’91 Renegades done at the midget level, Westgard said next year he’ll coach the Renegades ’95, where his daughter, Toryce, plays. He’s unsure how long he’ll keep coaching, however. “All I know is that I’ll coach next year, for sure. I have a yearto-year contract with my wife about that,” he laughed. Westgard was quick to heap praise on Sidor, who also won top player honours in 2009. This year, Sidor guided the team to nationals in New Brunswick, pitching three straight shutouts on the final two days of competition, including back-toback efforts on championship Sunday. “She threw three shutouts to win it – what more can you say? She’s been dominant for us for a long time. She’s a great player,” Westgard said. The evening was capped with the Renegades claiming top senior team honours, too.
The senior squad won its third straight provincial title last summer, and won its first national title, too, in Kitchener, Ont. “They’re a very special group of athletes,” said head coach Bryan Sask, who won Softball BC’s coach-of-the-year award in 2005. That same year, his team – in midget at the time – was named the province’s top team.
“She threw three shutouts to win it – what more can you say?” Chuck Westgard
Coincidentally, Sask also announced his retirement from coaching at the time – something that clearly didn’t stick. After the ’05 awards, Sask took an assistant-coaching position at Simon Fraser University, where he stayed for two years before returning to coach the Renegades senior team in 2009. “I’m done now – it’s time to pass the torch, but it is really nice to go out on top,” he said. “There’s a lot of good coaches who can take over for me, and I really think this team is going to be good for a long time to come.” Sask insisted he’ll stay involved with softball in some capacity – running clinics and the like. And when chided by

a reporter about his faux-retirement in 2005, he did leave the door open, ever so slightly, for a coaching return down the road. “Well, who knows? In five years, maybe I’ll be talking to you again.” ■ Lavaughn Larson serves as tournament director of Whalley Minor Fastball, a position she has held since 2001 and one of many positions she has filled in 15 years as a volunteer. Her son began playing in Whalley in the T-ball division in 1993, and two years later, Larson joined the executive as a secretary. She also served as president, treasurer and scheduler, and is credited with building a once-declining boys program. Over the years, Whalley has hosted several district tournaments, as well as provincial championship events in 2004 (Midget boys), 2009 and 2010 (Squirt boys) ■ Most of the players on the Fleetwood Marlins have played together since the Super Mites division, under the leadership of coaches Rick Peck and Sandro Simicic. They became provincial champions at the Squirt A, Pee Wee A and Bantam B levels, and competed at their first Western Canadian championship tournament in 2009, winning gold. They defended their Western Canada championship this past summer, needing just five innings to win the gold medal game. -

Be a Good Neighbour
In Downtown Surrey, there is a Good Neighbour Agreement in effect for some social agencies and businesses. If you want to open a pub, you must agree to be a good neighbour. If you are running a shelter or feeding the homeless, you must agree to be a good neighbour. If you are running a small scale pharmacy, you must agree to be a good neighbour. And what does this mean? Basically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an agreement to be considerate of the neighbouring businesses and residents that is tied into your business license. If your customers are loud and obnoxious or engage in other unacceptable behaviours, you are expected to monitor them. If your clients litter, you are expected to clean up after them. After all, it is your business that attracted them to the area so you should take responsibility. You should ensure that your business is not creating an impediment to others doing business or neighbouring residents from enjoying a good quality of life. It makes sense. But shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everyone be a good neighbour? Unfortunately, sometimes we get too caught up in what is happening inside our four walls to see that what is happening outside of our business that is affecting our neighbours. When customers loiter, it scares people away from the area. When landscaping becomes overgrown and unsightly, it sends a message that no one cares. When someone tags a wall and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t removed, it becomes a target for more grafÂżti. And if more than one property on a street becomes unsightly, the whole neighbourhood is tarnished. That is not fair to the neighbours. Most of us already take care of our commercial property. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a Good Neighbour Agreement in place to ensure that we have a clean, safe place to do business. But there are some negligent people in our midst who have set their bar pretty low. They need an added push to raise the bar. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be nice to have every business covered by a Good Neighbour Agreement not just a few agencies and businesses? The policy currently covers some businesses and organizations in Surrey City Centre. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expand the Good Neighbour Agreement to businesses throughout Surrey and show the region that all our businesses are open and ready for business.

Randie Smith (right) and her daughter Charlie, 16, will host a haunted house in Cloverdale during Halloween week to raise awareness of homelessness.
Horror for the homeless Less-fortunate to benefit from Surrey mom’s haunted house by Boaz Joseph
W
hen Randie Smith moved to Switzerland to teach English 12 years ago, she brought something frightening with her. Although her students had heard of Halloween, they’d never experienced the thrill of dressing up in costumes, carving Jack-o’-lanterns or trick-or-treating. For the next 10 years, young people in the village of Kussnacht am Rigi took part in the annual haunted holiday brought by this Canadian woman. When Smith returned to Canada two years ago, she discovered something scary in her home country. It wasn’t ghosts or goblins, but homelessness – something that doesn’t exist in Switzerland. After hearing a news report of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts wanting to tackle the problem, Smith, who moved to Cloverdale just a few weeks ago, decided to do something about it. The result will be a Halloween haunted house and fundraiser to raise awareness and support for the homeless. Her rented garage is already filled with the papier mache templates of a super-scary but family-friendly experience that will run for three nights next week. The single mother of three teenagers says about 90 per cent of the materials of the haunted house are recycled. She’s also snagged a dozen drama students from Semiahmoo Secondary School (Smith was a 1985 grad there) to
volunteer as prop-builders, costumed creatures and tour guides. Although there will be an admission fee for the second and third night of the event, the fee will be waived on the first night. Instead, Smith is asking for canned goods for the Surrey Food Bank and good-quality sweaters, jackets and winter boots for Sources, a communitybased non-profit agency operated by the Peace Arch Community Services Society, and for Options Surrey Community Services. She’s been told by the three groups that there are lots of people that could benefit from the donations.
“It’s a subject that’s dear to me after living in a country that has no food banks or homeless shelters. The government has your back,” Smith says. She recalls asking a native Swiss where she could make donations to help the poor. Where was the food bank? “You mean the grocery store?” was the reply. She learned that the Swiss government helps its citizens who lose their jobs pay their bills and provides them job training to re-enter the job force. “I just came back from a country that treats its people with dignity and respect and I hear about (Canadian) politicians getting a raise while there are homeless on the street. It’s the 21st century and we have homeless. How bad is that?” Her thinking is that anybody could chip in, in their own way. Her way will involve some fun during Halloween week, where she hopes she might inspire others to think of ways to help those less fortunate. “I’m a little passionate about it,” she says with a laugh. • Randie Smith is hosting her family-friendly haunted house on Oct. 28-30 from 5-9 p.m. at 6677 181 St. Donations to the Surrey Food Bank and quality used clothing for the homeless are requested in lieu of an entrance fee on the first night. The entrance fee is $5 for Oct. 29 and 30. Money collected will go to local homeless shelters. For more information, call 604-576-7490.
• Halloween in the Forest takes place on Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Surrey Nature Centre, 14255 96 Ave. Have some Halloween fun in the pumpkin patch and carve your own pumpkin to take home. e.

Dancers eliminated Nathalie Heath and Danielle Gardner talk about their time on So You Think You Can Dance Canada
by Sheila Reynolds AFTER WEEKS of gruel-
ling competition that had them stretch their creative boundaries, performing everything from hip hop to tango to ballet, a pair of Surrey dancers will not be moving on in So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Danielle Gardner and Nathalie Heath, both from Surrey, were eliminated from the popular TV contest on Thursday night. With voting based solely on individual competitors instead of couples, the Top 8 each had the opportunity to perform a solo of their choice before the results were revealed. In the end, the group of eight was pared down to four with Gardner, Heath, Mackenzie Green and Sebastian Mersch receiving the lowest number of votes. And though their final evening competing on the show was an emotional one, both Heath and Gardner say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade for anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As dancers, we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that many opportunities to be shown as an individual,â&#x20AC;? said Gardner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always behind an artist, or something along those lines. So to be given this amazing opportunity was mind blowing.â&#x20AC;? She said SYTYCD Canada not only changed her life, but that of her family, as it encouraged cousins and other family members to reconnect. For Heath, the intense competition was life altering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like a completely different dancer altogether,â&#x20AC;? said Heath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You learn so much and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re put on the spot all the time. You have to be on your toes to be able to whip out things to an audience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not just a live audience, but Canada is watching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like a much stronger person and pretty much like I can do anything.â&#x20AC;? Heath admits she had always been scared of solos, of â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting yourself out thereâ&#x20AC;? and being judged. But the competition taught her to be more comfortable with who she is and what she wanted to portray.
The 23-year-old Earll tt Marriott Secondary ary graduatee had also o auditioned ned for first and second ond seasons of the show w and made it to the final 20 girls both efore being times before cut. That, however, only made ade her more determined etermined to push harder to makee it this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew ew I could do it and I knew I could do it well,â&#x20AC;? she recalls. Gardner, 21, also had faith in her abilities, but said worrying about what the audience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; live and television â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would think was nerve-wracking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all fine doing the dance, but to have that feeling that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;people wanted me goneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... it
Danielle Gardner
was weird. But then, you get over it really fast,â&#x20AC;? said the Langley Fine Arts school grad. The entire process, though exhilarating, was exhausting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly dancing, our bodies are tired, our minds are racing,â&#x20AC;? Heath h said. d â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a lot to take in a short amount of time.â&#x20AC;? Both she and Gardner said the support of the other dancers was incredible and helped them get through some tough times. As for the future, Heath wants to remain in Canada and would perhaps like to teach and inspire other
dancers. Gardner, who taught in Richmond prior to the competition, is eager to return to the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss choreographing, I miss being able to work with younger students and try and get them to their highest potential,â&#x20AC;? Gardner said. Both dancers are looking forward to being home and spending time with family and friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do quite yet. The pair has to remain in Toronto and continue rehearsing this week for numbers to perform in the finale. The Top 4 (Amanda Cleghorn and Denys Drozdyuk from Ontario, Janick Arseneau from New Brunswick and Jeff Mortensen from Alberta) will take to the stage for the final performance show on Oct. 20 on CTV and the winner will be revealed during a special twohour live season finale on Oct. 24. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Stephen D. Van Ieperen Sept 16, 1966 - Oct. 2 2010
Stephen lived in North Delta and, after leaving school, he pursued the construction trade becoming a welder, carpenter and trailer fabricator. He finally turned his interests to working on the Oil Rigs in Alberta, Saskatchewan and his last venture in Manitoba. He had just received a promotion to Deckhand and was on his way to work for the first shift of his new job when he was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident. Steve was working for Precision Drilling, a wonderful company whom we owe many thanks for their help during this difficult time. Stephen is survived by his loving wife Rose; and son Damen; Parents Sue & Denis; brother Micheal; sister Denise Bailey (Brad); nephew Tyler; niece ShaeLynn, an uncle, numerous aunts and cousins from the lower mainland and Squamish. Stephen was loved by all who came in contact with him. He was a free spirit who always said, “Work Hard, Play Hard”. A celebration of life was held in Gravelbourg, near his home in Palmer, SK. He will be greatly missed by all.
