Former Surrey mayor Doug McCallum has recruited four council candidates in hopes of injecting new blood into the civic election campaign for his newly cre-ated Safe Surrey Coalition.

McCallum stood before a small crowd Tuesday beside the Newton district policing station and announced his team, which includes Surrey Now news-

paper editor Beau Simpson, lawyer Jus-tin Thind, business owner Rina Gill and community advocate Laurie Guerra.

The coalition released more details about McCallum’s election platform, including plans to scrap the city police committee in favour of a Mayor’s Inte-grated Public Safety Council. It would be open to the public, except when dealing with legal matters or personnel issues.

McCallum – who served as mayor from

1996 until he was defeated by retiring Mayor Dianne Watts in 2005 – vowed to establish minimum thresholds for police service. He said he will double the num-ber of officers on patrol and accelerate the hiring of 95 more officers by 2015.

He said he will also double the number of bylaw officers to 48 and invest $4 mil-lion per year into a Crime Prevention Through Social Development Strategy.

Trains that run through White Rock and South Surrey could be relocated in five years.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin made the “rough guess” on the timeline at city hall Monday, following council support this week of his motion to direct staff to get the ball roll-ing on the process to move the tracks.

“There’s some routes that could be done

relatively quickly and others that would take several years,” he told Peace Arch News.

Council voted unanimously in favour of the motion Monday, which included amend-ments specifying that staff “initiate the pro-cess and application” and work with Surrey and Delta officials where appropriate.

Baldwin said the returned focus – the issue was the subject of a community forum last November – was spurred by the decision to

green-light a coal-transfer facility and word of an expansion to the Roberts Bank terminal.

Baldwin said the application to the Canadian Transportation Agency, under the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act, is to address issues with dangerous goods, excessive train traffic, vibrations, noise and pedestrian safety. It must include a financial plan, proposed cost-sharing and a transportation plan.

Semiahmoo First Nation has given ver-

bal support and the province will also be approached to partner on the effort, he said.

Coun. Grant Meyer – who chairs the city’s rail-safety task force – acknowledged achiev-ing the goal won’t be easy.

“There’s going to be a lot of people that are going to say this is a dream, you’re out to lunch. It’s unfortunate (so many) people see the glass as half-empty.”

TransLink thinks a recent poll demonstrates that a referendum

on transit spending is winnable.

Despite the naysayers among the region’s mayors, who sometimes seem to be the biggest obstacle to transit improvements, the idea of a transit referendum makes a great deal of sense. Instead of ad hoc tax increases like the two cents a litre which mayors came up with at the last minute to help fund the Evergreen Line, residents will get a specific list of suggested transportation improvements and how they can be funded. They can then choose to accept or reject that proposal.

The poll results indicate that a majority of those paying attention to this issue would likely support added spending on transit (see page 32).

There is significant support in areas where transit is already a reasonable alternative to driving. But even in areas like Surrey and Langley with fewer transit options, there is a decent amount of support.

However, the poll indicates that south of the Fraser residents are more opposed to additional taxes to fund TransLink than in other areas.

This is not surprising. People

in this area are already paying bridge tolls – something that

drivers in other parts of the region do not have to deal with, except on the rare occasions when they venture out on Highway 1, or cross the Golden Ears Bridge.

The 35 per cent of south of the Fraser residents who oppose tax hikes also likely pay more in car expenses than many others. They likely pay higher insurance for driving to work, put in more

gas and pay more to maintain their vehicles, which likely run up mileage faster than many cars owned by people in Vancouver.

Interestingly, the two most popular tax options in the poll were universal bridge tolls, which would even out costs among all vehicle owners, and a $75 vehicle tax, also a more evenly-distributed tax burden. Both received 27 per cent support.  

A one per cent rise in the regional sales tax was less popular and a carbon tax had only 15 per cent support.

Unlike many mayors, residents know the province isn’t giving any carbon tax revenue to TransLink and they will simply pay even more for fuel.

Simon Fraser University City Program director Gordon Price, a former Vancouver councillor

and transportation expert, says the referendum has a better chance of winning if it is framed about building for the future. If TransLink becomes a focal point, it has less chance of success.

That’s likely even more true after a series of SkyTrain breakdowns and the revelation that TransLink senior staff got hefty raises when there was supposed to be a pay freeze.

Surrey could benefit from more transportation funding. The mayors’ ambitious plan calls for more rapid transit and significantly more bus service south of the Fraser.

For many Surrey residents, those improvements must be seen soon.

There have been too many promises over the years that have been slow to materialize – such as rapid-bus service over the Port Mann Bridge which only began for Surrey residents last week, with the 555 bus now making a stop at 156 Street. It took the concerted efforts of an 18-year-old, Daryl Dela Cruz, to push the city into spending $193,000 to make the stop finally happen.

Dela Cruz deserves thanks. Hopefully he and other transit advocates will be paying close attention to the promises made about transit here, as the referendum date nears.

Charged in deaths

Dog walker mum in courtSheila ReynoldsBlack Press

A Delta dog walker accused in the deaths of six dogs that allegedly died of heat exhaustion in the back of her truck before being dumped in Abbotsford in May had nothing to say to reporters following her first court date Tuesday afternoon.

While she was inside the Surrey Provincial Court building, Emma Paulsen didn’t enter the courtroom where Crown counsel and her lawyer convened briefly. Instead, she stood in another part of the building, away from where TV cameras could see her through the windows. When she did exit to a waiting car, her cellphone to her ear, Paulsen did not respond to media questions.

In August, Paulsen was charged with six counts, including killing an animal; causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury; neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter; failing to protect an animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress; causing or permitting distress; and intent to mislead police in an investigation.

She has not yet entered pleas.Owners of the deceased dogs

and their supporters attended the brief court appearance Tuesday.

Stephanie Marner didn’t blame Paulsen for rushing in and out of the courthouse.

“I would be hanging my head, too,” she said, noting one of the dogs, a bouvier/poodle, was owned by her sister, niece and nephew.

Paulsen initially reported the dogs stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley on May 13, sparking a widespread community search, but nearly a week later she said the dogs had died of heat exhaustion after she left them in her vehicle.

Crown counsel spokesperson Gordon Comer said there are about 50 reports of animal cruelty to Crown every year.

“The matter is before the courts. She’s presumed innocent at this stage,” Comer said.

Her next court date is Oct. 17.

The City of White Rock has placed a moratorium on issuing building permits for coach houses, pending a review of the zon-ing bylaw that allows them.

The step, taken Monday at city hall, arose during discussion of a motion by Coun. Al Campbell to prevent any more of the acces-sory structures from being built in the city.

Coun. Louise Hutchinson said while she is generally not in favour of coach houses, she couldn’t support an outright ban without first hearing from staff.

“They do have a place in many municipali-ties. They work very well in Vancouver and Burnaby,” Hutchinson said.

“I think it would be very remiss of council to

make this motion in the absence of any staff input. We have to be really sure that they are not going to work in any other place.”

Campbell announced his motion at the July 28 council meeting, describing the option to build coach houses as “a loophole we have to close.”

They are a selling feature; an open invita-tion for additional suites, contributing to parking and overcrowding, he said.

Monday, Campbell reiterated his belief that “there is no place for coach houses in our city,” and he took umbrage with Hutchin-son’s suggestion for a staff review.

“I couldn’t disagree with you more,” said Campbell. “I don’t need staff to waste their time telling me this won’t work.”

While Campbell said he supported a zon-

ing amendment in 2011 that cleared the way for a Finlay Street development that includes coach houses, he regrets the decision.

“It was sold to us that these were great additions,” he said. “Future development to the east of that is going to suffer because of that call.”

Coun. Helen Fathers cast the sole oppos-ing vote regarding rezoning the Finlay lots. She said Monday that an experience posing as a prospective buyer only strengthened her resolve. She said she was told not to worry – that a basement suite could also be put in after the city had given the project the green light.

“I heard it straight from the horse’s mouth,” she said.

Asked what the city’s options were, director of development services Karen Cooper said

council could place a moratorium on the building permits and go through the process of amending the zoning bylaw; determine what lots would support coach houses; or establish criteria to improve coach-house developments.

Mayor Wayne Baldwin described Camp-bell’s motion as “probably the right course of action.”

“I know what he’s getting at. I’ve seen that mess on Finlay, I don’t like it,” he said.

At the same time, he said there are instances where it may be “probably necessary” to allow coach houses; for example, on large estate lots. It would “not serve us well” to impose a blanket prohibition, he said.

Baldwin said a moratorium would allow time for due consideration of the issue.

White Rock’s waterfront pay-parking system is getting a $400,000 upgrade.

The project – which includes the purchase of 37 new pay stations (including one spare) – received unanimous approval Monday evening.

In the city’s financial plan for five years, the upgrade is expected to boost efficiencies and be more convenient for the public.

One benefit named is that transactions will be processed on a “real-time” basis.

“For example, if there was a parking ticket issued, the system will know it… immediately,” city manager Dan Bottrill told Peace Arch News. “Right now, that information is down-loaded after the fact. It has been problematic for people getting a ticket (who) want to pay it right away.”

Sandra Kurylo, the city’s director of financial services, told council the new pay stations are “a lot more updated technology than what the city currently has.”

Asked by Coun. Helen Fathers if there was a problem with the existing machines, Kurylo said they have been in place for about 10 years and are at the end of their useful life.

“We can’t even get a service contract for the

city’s hardware anymore,” she said.The majority of the new dispensers will be

solar-powered, and the system will integrate with the city’s new land-based management system.

Bottrill said the upgrade will not lead to an increase in pay-parking rates, which are cur-rently $3 an hour from May 1 to Oct. 31 and $1.50 an hour from Nov. 1 to April 30.

It will enable violation tickets to be paid at any city facility. Currently, they can only be paid at the planning and development services counter in city hall.

Kurylo said there is also flexibility with the new system, citing an option to have those who pay by credit card notified by text message just before their meter time expires.

Kurylo advised awarding one contract for the purchase and installation of the pay stations to Imperial Parking Canada Corporation, and a second contract – for the purchase of licences, installation of enforcement software and hand-held devices and mobile printers – to Aparc Systems Ltd.

The budget for the upgrade is $475,000. Total estimated cost is $394,069.

Coun. Louise Hutchinson expressed concern the new focus could derail ongoing efforts to address train noise and increase pedestrian safety.

That work is to comply with orders from Transport Canada that followed the death last summer of a pedestrian on East Beach tracks. New signage has been erected; chainlink mesh-ing is to be installed; and pedestrian crossings are to be levelled.

“I don’t want us to go forward in a process that is going to be a lengthy one and lose sight of what we are already doing,” said Hutchinson. “And that is, to get our waterfront back, to be able to have the train traf-fic and pedestrians in somehow some harmony, and to reduce the noise.”

Coun. Al Campbell, a member of

the rail-safety task force, responded that “the task force is on top of it… It’s important that you understand that we are doing those things.”

Baldwin added that while the city is “negotiating (with Transport Canada) not from a position of power,” the relocation effort “is something else entirely different and we are going to proceed with that one way or another.”

The city’s motion was well-received by council attendees.

“My question is, how can I thank you enough?” said Susan Potzold. “You know you have a lot of support in the community for this.”

Ken Jones, a former city councillor and MLA, described the directive as “a big step forward in making (the communities of South Surrey and White Rock) safer.”

McCallum also promised to shut down every unregulated drug recov-ery house in the City of Surrey.

He says his promises will cost $21 million annually and will be paid for with the elimination of the Surrey City Development Corporation ($10 mil-lion each year, with the SCDC owing Surrey $70 million in loans, etc.); 25 per cent of taxation from new residents and business ($5 million); and one per cent in budget savings ($6 million).

The savings will include putting an end to the yearly Surrey Regional Eco-nomic Summit, McCallum said.

“People are fearful in neighbour-hoods across Surrey and are looking for leadership, detailed proposals and, most importantly, a plan for action on the issue of public safety,” he said. “The Safe Surrey Coalition represents a group of candidates with diverse com-munity involvement, political affili-ations and professional backgrounds that are united by one overpowering concern: public safety.”

Safe Surrey Coalition candidates

have a broad political background. Gill last ran for council in 2011 as a mem-ber of former mayor Bob Bose’s Surrey Civic  Coalition, Guerra served as an electoral district association president for the Conservative Party of Canada in  Fleetwood-Port Kells, and Thind worked for Senate speaker Dan  Hays in 2002 and is a director at large for the federal Liberals’  Newton-North Delta riding association. 

Simpson,  meanwhile, has said he is on leave from his Glacier Media news-paper to run for council.

Coun. Linda Hepner was named in June as Watts’ successor as leader of Surrey First, which swept the civic polls in 2011. Surrey businessman Vikram Bajwa and past Rotary presi-dent John Edwards also plan to run for mayor.

Coun Barinder Rasode, who stepped down from Surrey First in April to serve as an independent, had told Black Press she would run for mayor if Watts retired. She is expected to announce her candidacy on Sept. 20 at SFU.

A man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman seven years ago in White Rock “honestly thought that she was consenting.”

And that element of “victim blaming” – identified in reports cited during sentencing submis-sions in B.C. Supreme Court last week – is just one of the reasons why Jason Andrew Robinson deserves jail time for the crime, prosecutor Winston Sayson said.

Robinson pleaded guilty this past June to the Aug. 31, 2007 assault, nearly a year after he was ordered to stand trial.

On Sept. 3, Sayson asked Justice Robert Crawford to impose a two-year sentence, followed by two years probation and 20 years on the sex-offender registry.

Defence counsel John Douglas – who asked to have his argu-ments heard on Nov. 17 – told Peace Arch News he will argue for a conditional sentence of 18 months to two years.

Douglas said there’s “no ques-tion” his client took advantage of

the victim.“You don’t have to get some-

body to sign a consent, but you better be sure they’re in a posi-tion to consent,” he said.

The court heard the early-morn-ing assault on the 25-year-old vic-tim occurred after she went to the beach with Robinson and friends around 2 p.m., then to a pub, home for dinner and to the Sand-piper Pub, around 7 p.m.

Over the course of the day, the victim consumed at least seven doubles, while Robinson drank beer, the court heard.

Sayson said the woman headed home alone from the pub – where Robinson worked as a cook – around 11 p.m. and went to bed.

“She was quite drunk,” Sayson told the court.

The assault occurred about four hours later.

“She had her clothes on when she went to sleep. She was awo-ken by something and found herself naked, and the accused standing in front of her, also naked,” Sayson said.

Robinson was holding the wom-an’s left leg up and she “felt… as if

she’d had sex,” Sayson said.The victim remembers yell-

ing at Robinson to leave, then going back to sleep. She awoke at 2 p.m., showered and went to work. After telling her boyfriend – who was in the Maritimes – what happened, the victim and a male friend confronted Robin-son. He denied the assault, and was not seen again by the victim until preliminary proceedings in Surrey Provincial Court last year.

Sayson argued that expert reports show Robinson “is in a state of denial (and) frequently, he points to alcohol or cocaine as the reason why he does certain things.

“The accused clearly is in need of intervention by way of court-sanctioned counselling.”

In a brief victim-impact state-ment read by Sayson, the woman – who did not attend the lat-est proceedings and who cannot be identified – said the assault caused her to lose her trust of men, have trouble with relation-ships and turn to alcohol to block out memories of what happened.

“This affected my whole fam-ily,” she writes.

We may think we need wearable technology – such as Google Glass or the new Apple Watch – and

manufacturers would like us to think so, too.But the last thing we need in this day and age

of multiple distractions is something else to divert our attention from the responsibilities of operating a vehicle.

Most drivers would probably agree that erratic behaviour on the roads has not decreased over the past 20 years.

Indeed, it appears we are now paying the price for past leniency in what seems to have emerged as current norms of driving – unsignalled turns and lane changes, sudden swerves within lanes or into the line of oncoming traffic, unexpected decreases in speed and failure to respond to traffic signals.

Those who have ever wondered “what’s up with this guy?” have probably discovered more than once, on closer approach, a driver juggling the wheel and a cup of coffee; glancing down at a text message; or with a cellphone clutched to his or her ear.

Since they, clearly, don’t see themselves as part of a problem, it would be meaningless to tell them that, on average, 30 people a year die as a result of distracted driving in the Lower Mainland alone – and some 88 provincewide.

Similarly, it would probably mean little to those with such an undeveloped sense of self-preservation, that current police fines could bend their pocketbooks by $167 for distracted driving to $368 for driving without due care and attention.

So let these remarks be addressed to those of us who place a greater value on life.

It’s time we demanded a much higher standard, and a much more stringent series of penalties for distracted driving that will anticipate the wave of new attention-grabbing technologies.

The B.C. Superintendent of Motor Vehicles believes that current regulations against using hand-held devices will also cover wearable technologies. He thinks continuing to monitor the situation is an adequate response.

We’re not betting on it. When human life is at stake, we suggest, we

can’t afford to take an overly optimistic approach. While it would be nice to believe that all human beings will behave responsibly, given a new set of temptations, bitter experience demonstrates otherwise.

If somebody can do something unwise, most likely somebody will do it.

New technology a driving force

Published at South Surrey by Black Press Ltd.

opinionPeace Arch News

I’m a B.C. public school parent, three times over. And as such, I should be simply exhausted from the unfair

struggles handed to me courtesy of this strike.  

You must have heard that by now. I know I sure have.

Yes, if reports and advertisements are to be believed, my work is suffering because I’ve been terrified to leave my children at home. You know, they just may get kidnapped or burn down the neighbourhood. Besides, I’ve been emotionally paralyzed, unable to properly parent with our schedule so thrown off course. I’ve been left throwing my hands up in the air and wondering what am I to do with these people who insist on calling me mother.

Oh, come on. Who is really buying that? Most of us parents are a bit more

resourceful than we’ve been painted. A few extra chores, some family projects, online resources and our own home library have kept our house afloat so far, and we’ll dig our oars a little deeper the longer this strikes runs.

Now, I know my situation is not necessarily the same as yours, dear reader. I know that there are families who

are really and truly inconvenienced by the B.C. teacher’s strike. My heart goes out to parents of small children, running between home, school, daycare and work.

I was there not so long ago. But I can’t count myself in that group today, not this time around. And I’m assuming I’m not alone.

You see, my children are in middle and high school. These are young-but-capable people who can look after themselves for hours at a time, who cook and clean at acceptable levels, and who even get some reading, writing and arithmetic done before I get home from work most days, even while school is in session. My kids are even smart enough to have magically

hardwired an infallible tattle-tale system directly into my cellphone, and they test it often. So, if anything were amiss, I’m confident I would hear about it before the neighbours did.

On this point, I’m sure I’m also not alone.

So no, I’m not feeling inconvenienced at all. I’m lucky to be going through this particular strike action with older children, flexible hours and the knowledge that we’ve come through this before and survived. My oldest son will

graduate this year. Like most grads of 2015, he became a student in 2002; strike action has become as inconvenient to his generation as a case of the hiccups – you know you’ll get them, you just don’t know when they’ll start and when they’ll stop. However, he and many of his friends have hit the financial jackpot within this strike, turning summer jobs into full-time gigs.

And, as of Monday, I’m among the majority of eligible parents who have already ‘earned’ $200 in cash from the government. Money that I’ll likely split between college funds, but is intended to help pay for the struggles associated with the lack of schooling for my youngest son.

But let’s be honest; those struggles are not mine. I will make it through this labour strife untouched. But that cannot be said for my kids, who have now lost three weeks of school and are set to lose this one as well. One son is anxious to finish up Grade 12 and move along into his chosen trade. Another son has dug his toes into the sand over homeschooling assignments, wondering what good online worksheets will do without a teacher to actually teach him.

And finally, there’s my youngest son, who was so eager to leave elementary school behind. A boy who has yet to choose an instrument for band class, to outfit his first-ever locker, to figure out his bell schedule and to enjoy every other rite of passage September usually brings.

They’ll never get this learning time back, and that’s the real struggle.

Pay for service or give it upEditor:Re: Honour System is cheaper, Aug. 26 editorial.

Some thoughts, as prompted by your editorial on Canada Post’s requirement of a doctor’s note to continue home delivery.

Seniors, wise as you would expect them to be, who choose to live in a single-family residence know full well that, in life, one can’t often have things both ways: give up what you love or you pay for it.Fen Kong Liew, Surrey

EducatedargumentsEditor:

The B.C. teachers strike has captured the nation’s attention because it confirms what others have long felt: our province is a little crazy.

Sure, Toronto has Rob Ford, but we have our Bountiful polygamists, our naked Wreck Beach vendors and, now, a battle reminiscent of the feud in Huckleberry Finn between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons. In the novel, a boy explains to Huck how the feud will play out: “By and by, everybody’s killed off, and there ain’t no more feud.”

In the current B.C. feud, all the teachers may soon be bankrupted and, by and by, there’s no more feud.

The education minister says he’s holding the line on public-sector settlements. That may be true, but so is the fact that schools have been closed for over three months to half a million kids – some of whom are at risk, some of whom depend on school meal programs.

The BCTF is now shifting position by calling for binding arbitration, reducing its demands by hundreds of millions and taking references to the court case over learning and working conditions off the table.

Yet the stalemate remains. Like the aged boxers in the film

Grudge Match, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and union leader Jim Iker continue to senselessly beat the hell out of each other. Like all fights, it has stopped being about who is right but who is left – left with any credibility.

The minister said six months ago that “B.C. has one of the best education systems in the world,” but no one would say this today. The BCTF leader says the strike is for better public education, but when two-teacher families lose $20,000 and students are barred from school friends, teams and classroom life, this isn’t better – except for private schools, which are ready to write Fassbender and Iker a cheque.

Fault clearly lies with both parties.The BCTF has long been a front for

the NDP and labour organizations and spends millions at election time to discredit the BC Liberal party and bite the hand that feeds its members. I pay $2,000 yearly in union dues to have my financial interests protected, not gambled away.

The Liberal government has said

repeatedly it seeks a negotiated solution, but docked 10 per cent of teachers’ salaries weeks before schools were even closed. Fassbender has not moved an inch in months, and was largely unavailable through the summer.

The government is also gambling by thinking a protracted strike will break the BCTF. What they are not considering is the effect this will have on schools once the feud is over, for 40,000 teachers are not going to roll over. The aftermath of the strike may prove as harmful to students, with spiritless schools and the cancellation of extracurricular activities, field trips and after-school tutoring. Jim McMurtry, Surrey

Why do we have teachers determining class size and education budgets? Isn’t that, in effect, their objective in this strike? Class sizes and wage contracts and demands?

Isn’t that the mandate of governing bodies, such as the provincial government and the school board? Don’t we elect these leaders to represent us in managing our children’s education requirements?

Consider that if our governing representatives are failing us, we can fire them and elect those who will represent us according to our will.

We give the government the power to allocate taxpayer money. Budgets are supposed to be fiscally responsible and taxpayer funds need to be divided in an equitable way.

Unions obviously have had

their value, particularly in the private sector. They have proven to represent and help members that were being abused financially and in the workplace. But why do we sanction the power of such organizations in the public sector?

B.C. has had a history of public-sector unrest. Is this more because union members are being abused or is it more a reflection of the power of those unions in our province?

I think the government needs to take a stand. The teachers are wrong here. Look at the damage this strike is having on education. The only way the teachers can improve our kids’ education is in the classroom.

So what if teachers’ wages don’t compare to other provinces? If the strike is not about money, then leave the other issues for our governments to sort out. But if this strike is truly about money, then please stop trying to manipulate our emotional connection to our kids by saying “this strike is for the kids.”Guy Shaddock, Surrey

I have a solution for parents of young children who are having a difficult time finding daycare during the public teachers’ strike.

Take your kids to a pub. Thanks to the BC Liberal

government, who are at least partly responsible for this situation, people can now take their children into drinking establishments and, thanks also to the Liberals, said drinking establishments can now offer “happy

hour” – more booze for less money.So, drop your kids off at your

local neighbourhood pub, collect your $40 per child per day and use some of it to buy all those inebriated “unlicensed caregivers” even more drinks. Then enter “Cock and Bull Pub and Daycare” into the appropriate line when declaring your daily $40 from our most generous – with taxpayers’ money – government.Jerry Steinberg, Surrey

Free trade inplain EnglishEditor:

In recent days, our minister of industry, James Moore, announced he is going to take steps to stop the Canadian Trade barrier.

The wording is so ironic. Here is our prime minister, Stephen Harper, touring the world to negotiate free trade; glamourizing free trade with Korea in Langley, B.C. Why did Moore not use plain English – “will create free trade in Canada”?

Using those kind of words will upset Quebec City holding patronage guaranteed rights to provide, for example, 40 per cent of the Canadian dairy products and eggs. Sounds encouraging, but as long as Quebec City holds the power, nothing will happen – all words to make one feel good.Suan H. Booiman, White Rock

File photoThere’s still time for the province to remove light rapid transit (green) from Surrey’s plans, writes Brendan Read.

Editor:South Surrey and White Rock residents should reject

the TransLink mayors’ council plan as it now stands, as it will do more harm than good to their transit trips and wallets.

The mayors swallowed Surrey’s light rapid transit (LRT) plans that will not only cost more than bus rapid transit (BRT) – $2.2 billion compared with $900 million – but will have a longer journey time to Surrey Central and SkyTrain and force inconvenient transfers at Newton. The net result is a terrible-value-for-money proposition.

For these reasons, the City of White Rock voted in favour of BRT and improved bus as outlined in the Surrey Rapid Transit study in 2011, following the recommendations of White Rock’s transportation committee, that I was vice-chair of, whose members participated in the TransLink study.

The other Surrey LRT routes are also problematic. BRT is the best choice to Guildford, as buses can then use the Highway 1 HOV lanes to Langley, and they can also reach Maple Ridge. There are no ideal options to Langley on the Fraser Highway corridor, as all three choices – BRT, LRT,

and SkyTrain – will carve up Green Timbers Park and the ALR by Highway 15. Moreover SkyTrain loses its appeal and its efficiencies for long commutes, like from Langley to Vancouver, with cramped seating and no restrooms.

If there is room for added rail in Surrey and Langley, it is with a diesel-multiple unit (DMU)-operated commuter rail from Waterfront to Langley, and eventually Abbotsford and potentially Chilliwack, over the BNSF and the Interurban.

The “South Fraser Express” or SFX would provide direct, high-quality premium-fare service on existing tracks, like the West Coast Express, but with short (two- to three-car) DMU trains and platforms. SFX would cost less than LRT or SkyTrain to build. South Surrey and White Rock commuters could use SFX by taking the bus or driving to Newton, Sullivan or Cloverdale.

Noting that the vote on the mayors’ council plan has been delayed, this is an opportune time for the province and the mayors to fix the flaws like by removing LRT and come up with an attractive, feasible, and cost-effective plan that benefits all communities.Brendan B. Read, Belmar, N.J.

newsNine years in jail for murder of pastor’s son

Grow-rip killer sentencedMonique TammingaBlack Press

A Surrey man who killed a pastor’s son in an attempted grow rip in Langley last year has been sentenced to nearly nine years in jail.

Jesse River Jordan Hill, 24, was also handed a lifetime firearms ban during his sentencing in Surrey Provincial Court last week.

In June, Hill pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter using a firearm. He originally

faced a second-degree murder charge in the death of 21-year-old Delta resident Taylor Johnson.

Hill was also charged with break-and-enter with intent, disguise with intent and discharge of a firearm with intent and has been in custody since his arrest in October.

Johnson was found shot to death on Feb. 26, 2013 in a

200 Street home, which contained a marijuana grow-op. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op and had no prior record.

His father said his son had made some new friends of questionable nature, noting Taylor was very trusting.

Manslaughter with a firearm carries a

minimum sentence of four years.

A festival to showcase South-East Asian culture has been given the thumbs-up for White Rock’s West Beach.

Council voted unanimously Monday evening to provide $7,000 in in-kind support to the White Rock Diwali Integration Festival, which is planned for noon to 8 p.m. on Oct. 18.

“We have an opportunity here,” Eric Stepura, the city’s leisure services director, told council. “They’re expecting somewhere in the neighbourhood of 7-10,000 visitors.”

According to Stepura, the city was approached in July by representatives of the White Rock/South Surrey-based Sanatan Cultural Society of B.C.

The Diwali festival of lights is one that is celebrated worldwide, Stepura said. The local event is to have more than 100 performers, as well as artists from other cultures. Other elements planned include plays, food and merchandise vendors and fireworks.

“This is the first time ever the city of White Rock will be celebrating Diwali,” volunteer Moti Bali told Peace Arch News, noting that in celebrating the victory of Lord Ram over Ravan, the demon king of Lanka, the “triumph of light over darkness” symbolizes the victory of goodness over bad.

Organizers of the event for the Sanatan Cultural Society are Vivek Vasitha, Aditya Mohan, Simmi Vasitha and Tajaswita Mohan.

The city’s contribution will cover waste removal, the use of city property, installation

of additional lighting, safety fencing for the fireworks zone and RCMP security during the fireworks.

While Coun. Helen Fathers thought the $7,000 figure seemed low, Stepura said it is about on par with the city’s contribution

to last weekend’s Moon Festival – $14,000 for a three-day event.

Coun. Louise Hutchinson noted that organizers of a St. Patrick’s

Day event were made to reimburse the city for lost pay-parking revenue; they were also responsible for providing security. She questioned why the same wasn’t being asked of Diwali festival organizers.

“I would like to know that these people are not getting anything that we did not give the Irish festival,” Hutchinson said.

Stepura noted the main difference between the two is that the Sanatan Cultural Society is non-profit, whereas the St. Patrick’s Day function was put on by a business.

Hutchinson also questioned the city’s $1,500 commitment to additional lighting on trees, but Stepura said that cost may be shared with the Business Improvement Association.

He assured that organizers are not relying solely on city funds to pull the festival off. Costs of hosting such events are “well in excess of the $7,000 we would be contributing,” he said.

In recommending the city pitch in, Stepura said such community festivals “create a sense of identity, belonging, pride and spirit; promote arts, culture

and heritage, foster volunteerism and attract visitors.”

He suggested that the city’s contribution be funded from the contingency budget.

Next organizing meeting for the event will take place at 11 a.m., Sept. 15 at Leisure Services’ offices at White Rock Community Centre.

perspectives…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Alex BrowneStaff Reporter

Their green thumbs are getting a big thumbs-up from their

neighbours.Residents at a Marine Drive

development on White Rock’s East Beach have enriched the local scene for themselves and others by turning a moribund strip of typical condo landscaping into a community garden by mixing floral plants, herbs and vegetables.

And it’s an approach that could easily be imitated by other similar developments, said condo owner Rosalind Hewson, a Washington State University-certified master-gardener who initiated the project with fellow retirees Carol Knott and Eve Weimer and another resident, Lindley Lieuw.

Together, they’ve turned the concrete-enclosed elevated strip, along a walkway at the back of their Pacific Pointe Condos units bordering Maple Street, into a community-building statement of resourcefulness and pride.

In its second year at Pacific Pointe, the garden is an unqualified success with both residents and pedestrians in the neighborhood, Hewson said.

“Everybody in the condos are for it – there’s a long waiting list to be part of the garden,” she added.

“And people, as they come along, stop and chat and pick the peas and the sweet peas.”

But it was an uphill battle to get the garden established at first, the trio – proudly sporting ‘Gardening Diva’ aprons – said.

“Our first summer we had to struggle to get it approved by the strata board,” said Hewson, who added that the strip was previously occupied by “dead and dying rhododendrons.”

“There was some opposition – people had some concerns that we’d be planting fields of potatoes and corn and people did not want to look out on that.”

But a plan to combine

ornamentals and edibles soon put fears to rest, and Hewson’s credentials lent credibility – as well as the fact that, as she said, the gardening partners are “all

responsible people.”“We polled all

the people in the building,” Weimer noted, adding that while she was a

neophyte at gardening her plot did OK – although she’ll rethink the placement of pumpkins for next year.

“We bribed (the other residents) that they could come and pick the tomatoes and strawberries and peas,” Hewson said, pointing out that Knott’s end plot has produced great crops of peas as well as kale and other edibles.

“What’s nice is to be able to run out and pull herbs and have them fresh,” Knott said.

And while residents have had the immediate benefit of the herbs and vegetables to use in their own salads and cooking recipes (“it’s all organic,” Knott said), there have

been other spinoffs in terms of the environment and a general sense of well-being that contact with nature provides.

“We’ve noted that butterflies and bees have been coming around to the sweet peas, especially,” said Hewson. “I’d think about keeping bees next year, although I don’t know anything about raising them.”

“There is a neighbour nearby who is raising bees,” Knott pointed out.

“We learn from each other

and passersby,” Hewson said. “Everyone gets involved.”

The garden has also been a source of fascination – and participation – for children and grandchildren of some residents, who have an opportunity to learn first hand about gardening, they pointed out.

“It brings people together,” Weimer said. “It’s also very therapeutic. If I’m stressed I come out here and start gardening and the healing is immediate.”

In the final analysis, it was easy for the Pacific Pointe’s strata board to make the changes to rules and bylaws to enable a community garden to happen, and Hewson would encourage others to learn by their example – and from their experience in choosing

and cultivating plants and crops for such limited spaces.

Hewson said she would welcome inquiries from others who would like to take this approach at their own condo developments.

She can be contacted for advice at 604-560-3501.

Join a group of Rotarians on an amazing 15-day cruise through the

Panama Canal! This trip goes Mar 6-21, 2015 as you cruise from Los Angeles

to Ft. Lauderdale.

Spend 15 blissful days on the Island Princess! Your destination is the

magnifi cent, monumental Panama Canal,

and your purpose is to give the gift of

mobility to those in need in Panama!

While cruising, you will enjoy all Princess

Cruises has to offer - including fabulous

cuisine. Princess’ world-class chefs create

freshly prepared meals with fl avorful

ingredients, often using

the distinctive fl avors of

the region. Fresh fare

is their specialty. One

of their alternative restaurants is Sabatini’s, which serves authentic Italian

cuisine, with fresh, homemade pastas, seafood, and other specialties. If

you’re lucky, those Italian waiters will

serenade you as you dine!

For activities and entertainment

onboard enjoy informative lectures,

fi tness classes, and countless

treatments in the Lotus Spa – or

simply relax by the pool. In the

evening, entertainment sparkles with

comedians, magicians, live music and

dancing in your choice of lounges,

Vegas style fl oor shows, and Princess’

famous Movies under the Stars!

Ports of call include Puerto Quetzal

in Guatemala, Costa Rica, two full

days in Panama (one devoted to

delivering wheelchairs, the other a full

day transit of the fascinating Canal),

Cartagena in Columbia, and Aruba in

the Caribbean.

During the full day stop in Panama

City you will deliver brand new

wheelchairs in partnership with the

Canadian Wheelchair Foundation

(cdnwheelchair.ca), a registered charity

that has transformed over 350,000

lives through the gift of mobility

since 2003. By providing a wheelchair to someone who lacks personal

mobility, you are giving the person hope for the future, freedom, dignity

and independence. As importantly, 10 lives are positively changed for each

wheelchair that is delivered.

People lose mobility for many reasons including disease, war, accidents

and aging. Polio is one of the top global causes and Rotary International has

been a world leader in the fi ght to eradicate this disease from our planet.

Raising awareness of Polio’s life-altering effects is an important part of

achieving the aim of a Polio-free world, and one of the goals of our trip.

In March of 2015 we embark on an unforgettable journey that will allow us

to connect with others through service. Through a collaboration of Rotarians

and other like-minded travelers you will experience fi rst-hand the impact of

the gift of mobility!

App to help connect to citybusiness

The City of Surrey is launching a new mobile-service applica-tion that will give residents and businesses an alternative way of engaging and interacting with the city.

The ‘My Surrey App’ will act as a portal for all new and exist-ing city apps, including Surrey Library, Surrey Request, Rethink

Waste and COSMOS.It also includes city news,

events, bike routes, parking and employment opportunities.

The application is available both for smartphones and tab-lets.

Coun. Bruce Hayne, chair of the Innovation and Investment Committee, said the My Surrey

App will be a convenient method for residents and businesses to keep current with what’s hap-pening in the city.

“I think it will prove very valu-able,” Hayne said.

The My Surrey App is a com-ponent of the city’s “Smart Sur-rey Strategy,” and is available for download at www.surrey.ca/apps

DID YOU KNOW: Since becoming a pharmacist last year, one of the things that has surprised me the most is how many people have trouble taking prescription cholesterol medication. For the vast majority, the benefi ts of these medications outweigh the risks, but people ask about natural approaches every day. Family Care Pharmacy strongly believes in practicing both prescription and complementary & alternative medicine, and one of our favourite disease states to talk about with our patients is cholesterol management. The Natural Standard has assigned Grade A evidence-based ratings to plant sterols (such as those found in NOW Guggul Extract) and soluble fi ber (Glucomannan and Cho-Less-Terol by Organika) for cholesterol management.

lifestylesRaaj Chatterjee receives Schulich Leader award

Student honouredA South Surrey student is the

recipient of an $80,000 scholarship in honour of his hundreds of hours of community service.

Raaj Chatterjee was one of two Simon Fraser University students awarded the Schulich Leader Scholarship.

The former Semiahmoo Secondary student, who is studying Mechantronics Systems Engineering at SFU’s Surrey campus, has been an active advocate of the environment and sustainability since high school, where he began a school composting project.

Chatterjee later organized a conference at Science World to link high school students on environmental issues and last year he became the co-chair of the Surrey

Youth Sustainability Network.Together with his family, Chatterjee

has also developed a bi-weekly homemade food delivery program that distributes hot, nutritious food to the homeless in North Surrey.

The young jazz musician was also named the 2013 Best Surrey Senior Trumpet Player at the annual Envision Jazz Festival.

Schulich leaders receive their $60,000 awards in eight installments over

four years. They must study one of the STEM subjects – science, technology or mathematics – during their undergrad years. A second scholarship valued at $80,000 is designated for a Schulich leader pursuing a degree in an engineering program.

Breakfast has an impact on a children’s level of energy, memory, ability to

solve problems, creativity and behavior. As the most important meal in the day, it is hard to believe that one in seven children in Canada is at risk of going to school on an empty stomach every day.

COBS Bread is partnering with Breakfast Club of Canada, a non-profi t organization that provides funding, equipment, food, training and services to school breakfast programs across Canada. Breakfast Club delivers school breakfast programs to more than 1,250 schools and 130,000 children across the country.

It is Breakfast Club of Canada’s dream that all children will have an equal chance to start their school day with a nutritious breakfast in an environment that promotes self-esteem.

White Rock hair stylist Robyn Wallace has been named as among Canada’s top 10, following an international competition.

Mystique Hair Design owner Stephanie Wright described the recognition as success that “just pushes us forward and allows us to become more creative and fashion-forward.”

Wallace was one of four Mystique stylists to submit

photos of their handiwork into the Beauty Stylist Awards sponsored by La Biosthetique of Paris. In addition to hair style and colour, the before-and-after photos take into account makeup and fashion choices.

Wright said the Mystique team went with a “Romantic Rock” look.

Wallace wanted “to do something that scared me, but still suited the client.”

“As a stylist who’s been in

the industry over four years, I wanted to try a short, edgy precision cut and this was the perfect opportunity to challenge myself,” she said in a news release.

“Each entry undergoes intense scrutiny, so I knew I had to perform well and bring my work to the table.”

Wallace said she recently trained in Germany and wanted to bring back some of the shorter styles she saw on women there, with cool tones of blond.

She described being named a finalist as “truly an honour.”

The City of Surrey’s Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) is working together with local landscaping businesses to help prevent stormwater contamination from concrete and asphalt.

SHaRP is distributing brochures and speaking with local businesses about the harmful effects of concrete and asphalt to the storm drain system and watercourses. Property owners can help by working with their landscaping contractors to ensure all landscaping materials are stored securely and disposed of properly.

For more information on best management practices, copies of the concrete and asphalt brochure are available from local landscaping businesses. To report a spill, contact the city service request hotline at 604-591-4152.

Isabelle Jones, resident of the Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion at Peace Arch Hospital, proudly celebrated her 100th birthday last month at both a gathering of fellow residents and at a separate family event.

She was born Aug. 17, 1914 in the County of Kinross, Scotland, daughter of Scots emigrants and Canadian pioneer settlers Elizabeth and Hugh Rae.

The family originally came to Canada in 1910, settling in Commerce, Southern Alberta, where Jones’ father farmed and worked as a coal miner.

But when Jones mother was expecting her, her mother returned to Scotland so that she could be born Scottish, just like older sisters Lizzie and Jean and brothers Tom Ralph and Andy.

Unfortunately, the First World War interrupted family life and Jones was five years old before she and her mother were able to come back to Canada in 1919.

Jones, who has five grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and seven great-great grandchildren, has led a busy and interestingly varied life, according

to daughter Shirley Wiebe.

At one time or another, she has cooked for and fed farmers from a chuckwagon in the fields at harvest time, run a garage, a furniture-moving company and a bowling alley. She also sold Studebakers, and ran a motel/coffee shop in Creston, B.C. where she was famous for her pies.

In 1934, she married Arthur ‘Buck’ Jones and they lived in Lethbridge, Alta. for 46 of their 50 years of married life. Her husband had a son, Gordon, from a previous marriage and Shirley followed soon after.

A lover of animals, especially horses (she once rode one in the Musical Ride at the Calgary Stampede) Jones also enjoyed bowling and traveling with her husband in the camper van.

Jones’ husband and stepson both died in 1984 – Buck from a stroke and Gordon from complications from diabetes.

She moved to Ocean Park in 1999 to be nearer her family, and has lived at the Weatherby and Hogg pavilions since 2007.

Surrey’s top cop has been hon-oured with one of the nation’s highest awards.

Surrey RCMP Officer in Charge Bill Fordy received the Order of Merit medal in Ottawa on Tuesday.

The award recognizes a career of exceptional service or dis-tinctive merit by the men and women of Canadian police ser-vices.

The primary focus is on excep-tional merit, contributions to policing and community devel-opment.

“Throughout his long and dis-tinguished career, Bill Fordy’s

superior police work and contri-butions to the community have been exemplary,” Surrey Mayor

Dianne Watts said in a news release.

“His leadership, commit-ment and progressive approach to policing have enhanced the safety and security of our resi-dents.”

Fordy has been in charge of the Surrey detachment, the larg-est RCMP detachment in the country, since June of 2012. He received the Order of Merit Tuesday in a ceremony at Rideau Hall presided by David Johnston, Governor General of Canada.

Don’t try to tie Gary Comeau down, or pigeonhole him in one category of music or another.

In his career, he’s moved with apparent ease through realms of blues, jazz, cajun, roots and the singer-songwriter idiom, and, in his own unique way, has been true to all of them.

He sings, he plays fiddle,

mandolin, accordion and piano and he tinkers, endlessly, with other instruments and musical ideas that take his fancy.

As we talked recently, he ruminated on his, as yet unfulfilled, yen to play trumpet and cornet – inspired by one of his many musical idols, Louis Armstrong. At the same time, he’s fascinated by the “rich, bottomy, droning sound” he got

with his bow from a cigar-box slide guitar a good friend gave him, and is obsessed with the notion that he might be able to build his own cigar-box violin.

Comeau’s an authentic minstrel – a genuine character with a top hat, a soul patch and a penchant for colourful clothing – and when he gets

Comeau to kick off season

that certain gleam in his eye, and a smile of pure joy spreads across his face, fans know they can look forward to being carried along on a powerful wave of good music and good times.

And that’s what ticket-holders can expect when the Nova Scotia-born musician and his Voodoo Allstars appear for the kick-off concert of Peninsula Productions 2014-15 season, Saturday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. at White Rock’s First United Church, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.

As Peninsula Productions’ artistic director Wendy Bollard said, noting Comeau’s expertise as a musician and as an all-round entertainer, “it promises to be a hot and spicy evening, filled with New Orleans rocking roots and blues.”

“I call it Louisiana Gumbo music,” Comeau drawled, affably.

“There’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that. There’s some Louisiana fiddle and a little bit of that Mississippi Delta sound. There a little bit of that Cuban-Carribbean feel, and a little bit of Celtic music from another shore. It’s really a melting pot of everything I’ve done and everything that inspires me.”

Comeau never really works from a set list, he said – he prefers the feel that “anything can happen” and

that he can go where inspiration takes him.

“The freedom of it is that I could walk out into the audience, or I might start playing from the balcony. You just don’t know – it

will hit me at the moment how things are going to be. With me people won’t see the same thing twice, it’s a guarantee. Hopefully, they’ll leave having had a

good time.”It helps, of course,

that his Voodoo Allstars are just that, a close-knit, highly experienced group of first-class musicians.

Drummer Chris Nordquist, bassist Dennis Marcenko, guitarist/slide guitarist Tim Hersey and saxist/percussionist Jerry Cook – as well as having renowned chops in the musical community – have worked consistently with Comeau for the last seven years and know how to follow the merest blink of his eye.

Comeau first came to the West Coast as a teenage folk singer with guitar and harmonica, playing the kind of material that inspired him, by songwriters like Bob Dylan and Jesse Winchester.

Then, as he picked up the mandolin and fiddle several years later, he began a long love affair with other idioms, including western swing, Appalachian music and jazz influences such as violinist Stephane Grappelli, old-time pianists Fats Waller

and Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith, and clarinetist/bandleader Benny Goodman.

He believes his affinity for Louisiana music is partly due to his French heritage and shared Acadian roots.

But he believes his easy-going, free-wheeling ‘Southern’ attitude also stems from idyllic summers he spent at camps organized by the Catholic orphanage school he attended, at Mahone Bay, just outside of Lunenberg, N.S.

One of six children of a single mother, he

had to get used to the school and various foster homes, which, at the time, were the only form of social services available.

“It was strict at school the rest of the year, but in the summer you’d be swimming and fishing all day long – I used to read Mark Twain and I just went into this Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer world,” he recalled.

Tickets are available through Semiahmoo Arts, Good Day Sunshine Café and online at tickets.surrey.ca

The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2015 community grants from non-profi t groups or organizations.

What kinds of organizations are eligible?Organizations will normally be expected to:

• have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership;

• have stable, ongoing fi nancial support; and

• extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background.

Who chooses the successful grant applications?City Council has established a City Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of representatives from the community, along with two city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The fi nal decision on all grant applications is made by City Council.

The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria:

• The need for the project, the number of residents benefi ting from the grant and the value to the community;

• The absence of identifi able or competing services, programs or facilities in the community;

• The cost per resident, funding sources and fi nancial stability of the organization;

• The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event;

• The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and

• The suitability for one-time only funding for specifi c programs, capital projects or special events.

Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating defi cits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event.

When is the deadline for grant applications:All grants requests must be submitted on an offi cial application form and received at the offi ce of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2014. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting:

White Rock Concerts will commence another sold-out season of concerts Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. at White Rock Baptist Church with a recital by renowned Irish pianist John O’Conor – and the announcement of a new associate artistic director, as yet unnamed, by president Erika Bennedik.

The new director is expected to succeed current artistic director George Zukerman – now in his 58th year in the post – following a two year transition period during which they will work together.

The O’Conor concert will include Beethoven’s Six Bagatelles, as well as his monumental Pathetique Sonata, rounded out by Schubert’s Sonata in C Minor – one of the composer’s last works.

Membership chair Roger Philips reports that subscribers had almost sold out the season for the 805-seat house by the end

of May, although the organization was able to accomodate 109 new subscribers from the waiting list, which now stands at 405.

Other concerts in the 2014-2015 season include Canadian violinist Lara St. John (Oct. 17); Quebec chamber orchestra Violons du Roy, conducted by Matthieu Lussier and featuring French horn soloist Louis-Phillipe Marsolais (Nov. 14); and operatic ensemble QuintEssence (Jan. 23).

On Feb. 13 the organization will present Winter Winds, with flautist Christie Reside, and an orchestra of Vancouver Opera musicians. This will be followed on Mar 20 by a performance of the rarely-heard chamber version of Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird by Vancouver’s celebrated Turning Point Ensemble; and, on Apr. 17, by the world-renowned Juillard String Quartet.

An international potpourri of music – ranging from traditional Irish and Hebrides melodies to Chinese folk songs, Cole Porter, Mozart, Chopin and classic country – will be highlighted in the next White Rock Chamber Music Program this Saturday (Sept. 13) at 7:30 p.m., at Crescent Gardens Retirement Community, 1222 King George Blvd.

The first half of the program will feature The Page Players – soprano Leanne Page and her Lord Tweedsmuir student sons Liam (voice, piano) and Connor (penny whistle, guitar,

drum piano) in what they bill as “music to enchant.”

Their offering is a costumed blend of traditional Celtic melodies, mixed in with Beethoven, Debussy and music by Howard Shore, with text that includes poetry by W.B. Yeats, John Playford and J.R.R. Tolkien, and even some Elvish by Tolkien.

Following intermission, the voice and guitar duo of Hong Kong-born Ping Erickson and veteran country and jazz musician Sandy Erickson will present traditional songs from Scotland and China, and even

Elvis Presley’s hit I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You.

Next on the program will be 13 year-old pianist (and Southridge student) Vivian Wu, who will play Mozart’s Turkish March and Chopin’s Nocturne in C# Minor.

Concluding the concert will be the rich voice of Welsh-born tenor Russel Morgan, accompanied by pianist Irene Rathbun.

Selections will include such evergreen standards as The Green, Green Grass of Home, The Twelfth of Never, I Believe and Moonlight in Vermont.

Admission is $5 at the door.

Longtime battery-mates star for Team BC at bantam nationals

Pair cap busy summer with bronzeNick GreenizanSports Reporter

In baseball, it’s called the battery – the combo of pitcher and catcher.

It is, without question, one of the most integral parts of a team.

The pair need to be in sync and communication needs to be perfect, so the pitches end up being thrown to the right place, rather than thrown wildly, or, worse, deposited by the batter over the outfield fence.

Basically, without the battery, the team doesn’t run.

But such a power outage has been a rare thing for the White Rock-South Surrey baseball teams that Sam Shoemaker and Dawson Gray have played on through the years.

The teenage battery – Shoemaker is a pitcher, Gray a catcher – have played together since they were nine years old, and have plenty of experience representing White Rock in tournaments throughout B.C. and the United States in recent years.

But for the two 15-year-olds, this summer topped them all.

First, Shoemaker and Gray – along with fellow White Rock-South Surrey Baseball Association teammates Jackson Hogg, Marshall Luiz and Jacob Graves – were part of the Surrey (Area 3A) ball team that defeated Vancouver 8-7 to win gold at the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo in June.

The pair doubled their medal count later in the summer, when, late last month, they were part of

the Team BC squad that won the bronze media at national bantam championships in Vaughan, Ont.

They had been chosen for the provincial squad shortly after their performances at the BC Games.

“This has definitely been our busiest summer, for sure,” said Shoemaker.

“And it’s easier to pitch when you’ve played (with your catcher) for a long time, especially because we only had a couple practices (before nationals).

“You know their style, you know how the other person plays.”

In Vaughan, the B.C. team went 2-2 in round-robin play, and lost to the Ontario provincial team – the eventual gold-medal winners – in the playoffs.

Both shone in the bronze-medal contest against the hosts from Vaughan, a game that B.C. won 7-3.

Shoemaker was on the mound for the victors, pitching six-and-two-third innings, allowing just two earned runs to earn the win.

Gray, meanwhile, was steady both behind the plate as a catcher, and beside it as a batter, with two base hits.

Twice during the tournament he was awarded player-of-the-game awards – one for his defence, and one for his offence.

At the event’s end, he was named the nationals’ top catcher and an all-star after finishing with a .421 batting average.

Not to be outdone, Shoemaker picked up game MVP awards in both games in which he pitched, finishing with a 1.40 earned-run average and 17 strikeouts in 10 innings.

“It went really well,” he said.

New polling data suggests a planned referendum next March on new taxes to expand the Metro Vancouver transit system could yet pass despite waning public support for TransLink.

The survey was conducted for TransLink in two phases in May and late June by Maple Leaf Strategies, before and after the release by Metro mayors of their $7.5-billion expansion plan.

The first phase found found 57 per cent of respondents were very or somewhat likely to vote ‘yes’ in the referendum, followed by 56 per cent in the second phase. About a third said they were unlikely to vote in favour.

“That is very encouraging for us,” said Bob Paddon, TransLink’s executive vice-president of strategic planning. “A referendum is winnable.”

The survey found 58 per cent were willing to pay higher taxes, fares or fees if the money raised is dedicated to new transportation and transit projects.

A larger majority of 75 per cent agreed that “even if taxpayers don’t like new taxes and fees, they are necessary to build new transit and transportation infrastructure to deal with congestion.”

A further 79 per cent agreed public transit investments help ease congestion for vehicle drivers.

The surveys of more than 500 residents have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 per cent.

“There’s an appetite out there to solve this problem of congestion and people understand that’s going to cost money to do it,” Paddon said. “They also want to ensure those are good investments and they’ll be managed well.”

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said he also thinks the referendum may be winnable, but cautioned there are major risks.

“Those are more optimistic results than I would have anticipated,” he said of the polling data.

A companion survey from Mustel Group indicated declining overall support for TransLink – down to 68 per cent of respondents with a favourable

opinion from 75 per cent in 2010 when the Canada Line opened.

And the polling was conducted before two major SkyTrain shutdowns fueled intense criticism of TransLink in May, as well as this week’s release of rising payouts to senior executives.

Price also noted there’s no final agreement between the mayors and the provincial government on what tax mechanism would be used and no clarity on what it would cost the typical household – answers that voters need as soon as possible.

Even assuming the mayors and province reach a deal, transit advocates like Price expect a difficult battle for votes against anti-tax opponents of TransLink spending.

Much, he said, will come down to how voters perceive the question.

“If it’s a vote on TransLink, most people think it would be very tough,” Price said. “If it’s a vote on our future, the chances increase – provided the number is palatable, people believe they’re getting value for money and all parts of the region benefit.”

Also essential, he said, is that politicians across the spectrum and right up to the premier support the plan and the Yes campaign.

The poll results also suggest the mayors’ top choice of increasing the carbon tax in Metro to fund their plan over the short time has less support than other options.

Fifteen per cent picked the carbon tax as their preferred revenue source.

In contrast, 27 per cent listed a $75 vehicle levy, another 27 per cent chose tolls of up to $2 on all bridge crossings in the region and 17 per cent picked a regional sales tax of up to one per cent.

According to the Mustel poll, those with good impressions of TransLink most often cited convenient, easy-to-access transit that takes them where they want to go.

Those who dislike TransLink had negative opinion of management (29 per cent), dislike TransLink taxes (21 per cent),

or called it a waste of money, inefficient or a monopoly (20 per cent).

Sharply more South of Fraser residents in Delta, Surrey and Langley – 35 per cent – opposed TransLink taxes.

Others said bus service isn’t convenient or accessible enough and needs to be expanded outside Vancouver. Some said transit is too expensive.

Those whose impressions had

recently improved listed improving service or the construction of the Evergreen Line.

Those with worsening impressions listed poor route scheduling, poor money management, bad service outside Vancouver, fare increases and poor management.

Further down the list were concerns about fare evaders, the new Compass card system, security, taxes and bridge tolls.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The rollout of the new Apple Watch this week has police and provincial officials monitoring whether B.C.’s distracted-driving law is broad enough to bust drivers who use new wearable technology.

“We haven’t seen anyone using Google Glass or other wearable electronics yet, but I think it will only be a matter time before we start seeing it more frequently, especially as new products enter the market,” Delta Police acting Sgt. Sarah Swallow said.

Apple’s smart watch was unveiled Tuesday along with new iPhones, and the device will allow users to read and send texts, among other functions.

Swallow is concerned the use of smart watches may not be covered under the sections of B.C.’s distracted-driving law that ban the use of handheld electronics.

“Something like a watch that is designed to be used on your wrist or Google Glass – they’re not designed as handheld electronic devices.”

There’s also a section of the law that bans drivers from using any electronic device to send or receive email or texts, but that covers

just two of the functions of the new gadgets.

Police can also use the Motor Vehicle Act section against driving without due care and attention but, unlike the distracted driving law, officers must see evidence of risky driving to issue the $368 fine and six penalty points.

Police have long had that ability to fine drivers who swerve while they adjust stereos, juggle a hot cup of coffee or scold children in the backseat, but the $167 distracted-driving fines have been used much more frequently since their 2010 introduction.

Sam MacLeod, B.C.’s superintendent of motor vehicles, said his office believes the current distracted-driving law is broad enough to capture Google Glass or smart watches, but added the definition of prohibited devices could be expanded if needed.

“We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our legislation against these new technologies and will make changes if needed,” MacLeod said. “We are obviously concerned about the development of any technology that could distract drivers from focusing on the road and the task of driving.”

Safety Tip:Focus on the road, not your phone. Taking your eyes off the road to check that text signifi cantly reduces your reaction time–and can have deadly consequences. In fact, distracted driving is now the

second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.

Question of the WeekDriveway introduces our new northern B.C. based writer Mike Zacharias today. He challenges the image of the truck being the northern choice by testing a Ford Fiesta. What would you like Mike to test in the Prince George area?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

City commuter handles the northern roadsSubcompact cars are set up to be basic transpor-tation with emphasis placed on low cost and great fuel economy. That said, you might think they are all a bit boring and not very fun to drive or even very interesting to look at. This is not the case on the 2014 Ford Fiesta: it has had a face-lift and features more standard options than in the last model year. Usually little sub-com-pacts like this come with more plastic than a TV sports reader. The Fiesta feels different. You do get some plastic to be sure but the dash has softer materials and some of the plastic around here actually looks and feels good. For the price ($19,990 as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a bit naughty, as if maybe you have stolen a more expensive car than you can actually afford. I would love to be able to afford an Aston Martin as my daily commuter car but at this point in my life that is not an option. With the redesign, you do get the Fusion / Aston front-end styling. Now some people might say, “Well it looks too much like an Aston.” Really? That’s like someone telling a girlfriend that she looks too much like Scarlett Johansson; you’re not really going to complain, are you?

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it drives or feels like an Aston but it is great fun to drive, handles our roads very well and all the tech options needed to keep your eyes on the road are available. The SE model I drove came with Bluetooth, satellite radio, navigation, power locks, windows, and the My Ford Sync.I drove the Fiesta around Prince George and practicality wise it didn’t skip a beat. As I live downtown, anywhere I go in my daily life I am always driving right through the heart of the city. When I headed out

to the hockey rink, I was able to put all of my goalie equipment into the back, no problem. Parking in cities is increas-ingly becoming a premium. Parking a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a breeze even without a backup camera! As some people with larger vehicles will know, parking at places like malls in and around the city the spaces are tight with not a lot of movement space for bigger vehicles. In addition, of course, it does get worse in wintertime when the snow is piled high. With that in mind, how will it handle our winter roads?The Fiesta has good ground clearance for a smaller car and handling our

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-com-pact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.View our Ford Fiesta video review online at DrivewayCanada.ca

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car, accompanied by a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it,” establishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both.

Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space, but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a week-long trip with my family, I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before, but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet.

LooksThe K900 is an unfortunate name – It begs the question, is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American-looking chrome multi-spoke wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done a good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while

grafting Kia’s signature tiger nose grille. The rear bumper and lower-air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips.

InsideEvery person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish, and especially the materials used.

The V8 test model had leather covering the front of the dash and piano finish on the wood trim accented. Add in tasteful chrome and aluminum, dark, rich wood

on the steering wheel and centre console and the K900 looks like a million bucks.

Ill-named, but this is a real a luxury car continued on page 38

driveway

The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system.

DriveThe V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old

engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000 km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100 km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quiet is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

VerdictThe K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to

the competition and power isn’t a problem, especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue, and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all-wheel drive (AWD). In this segment

almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true

luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and [email protected]

The lowdownPower: 3.8L V6 with 311hp or 5.0L V8 with 420hpFill-up: 15.7L/10.3L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $$49,995-$69,995

Luxury is “in the eye of the beholder” continued from page 36

driveway

Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive.A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department.However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side.

A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short of longevity.At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide.

World recordThe Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K.Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds.I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course

– and took me out for rides very frequently.Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car.Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times.

Nostalgic and funNostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse.Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5.And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan.The reasoning? Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the ’80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to!That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making.It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language.This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more welcoming.

Radical new car?Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there is sure to be a polarizing

public reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind.Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show.Either way, I can’t wait to drive [email protected]

Buyers looking beyond home features when purchasing

By Kerry Vital

Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community

himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there.

“We build homes that we care about,” he says. “Th ese are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.”

Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, Th e Summit

Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a nature-lovers dream. Th om Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities.

“Th ese views are to-die-for,” Chester says.Th ere are controlled and registered

building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.

Th e 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre site are available in a range of fl oorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfi nished basement.

Curb appeal is not in short supply at Th e Summit Residences, with their Craft sman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage.

“No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options.”

Spacious open-concept fl oorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fi ll the space. Hardwood laminate fl ooring throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fi replace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room.

Th e gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience.

Th e ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and fl oating under-lit hardwood cabinet.

Homes start at $450,000. For more information, visit www.summitresidences.ca, call 604-824-6473 or stop by the sales centre at 47150 MacFarlane Place, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Th ursday and Friday.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

Th e decision on where to purchase a new home goes beyond the features of the homes themselves. Beautiful countertops or elegant fl ooring go a long way, but there are a few other features that buyers are increasingly looking for. Th ose features include an amazing amenities space.

“In the past, we saw amenities spaces tucked away within

buildings, which were small and uninspired compared to what is available today,” says Cressey Development Group’s Hani Lammam. “Amenities are becoming central to a building’s design.”

Among the popular amenities in new home construction are a full-size gym, a yoga studio, gardens, a music room and large communal entertaining spaces.

“We’re noticing that distinct architectural styles appeal to the

homebuyer, such as multi-level and indoor-outdoor amenity spaces,” Lammam says. “Specifi cally, we’ve seen buyers wanting amenities that they will really use and which will add to their quality of living.”

To capitalize on this, Cressey has included beautiful amenities in several of their recent projects. Richmond’s Cadence features a rooft op garden and glass “Jewel Box” pavilion that holds an entertaining lounge and kitchen.

Maddox in downtown Vancouver includes a full-size indoor gym as well as a podium entertaining space linked to the main building.

Concord Pacifi c is also integrating amazing amenities in their new projects. For example, Park Avenue in Surrey’s City Centre has a tennis court, putting green, theatre, fully landscaped sky gardens and many more. Th eir Richmond master-planned community of Concord Gardens has a banquet hall, grand ballroom, lantern pavilion and several other stunning features.

Before buying compare space & water heating costsWhen you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money.

Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator.

*These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efficiency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identified (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh).

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not think of me as gone --I am with you still - in each new

dawn
