Surrey mayor heads for Tory country ▼ RAIL SAFETY, TRUCK TRAFFIC, MORE CASH FOR TRANSPORTATION, RCMP FUNDING, NORTHERN GATEWAY AND MEDICAL GROW-OPS ALL ON HER RADAR FOR FEDERAL SOUTH SURREY-WHITE ROCKCLOVERDALE RIDING

KEVIN DIAKIW

In what is perhaps a surprise to no one, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts will be running for the federal Conservatives in South Surrey.

Watts revealed the news to The Leader in her first sit-down interview on the subject Tuesday under the condition that it not be made public until late Wednesday afternoon.

Watts said earlier this year she would not run again for mayor of Surrey, but kept her future plans quiet.

Until now.

The popular three-term mayor will be running in the riding of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale (which will be renamed South Surrey-White Rock in a redistribution before the 2015 election) for the federal Conservatives.

The riding has been a right-wing stronghold since the early 1970s, with current Tory MP Russ Heibert announcing in February he would not be running for a fifth term.

Watts describes herself as a small “c” Conservative with a well-developed social conscience. Watts said she was not offered, nor did she ask for, a cabinet post to run for the Conservatives.

The number-one issue she sees for the riding is rail safety: slope stabilizations issues, blockages of traffic by rail and a trestle bridge in dire need of repair.

“That would be the one significant issue,” Watts said, adding the City of Surrey has identified about five areas where the White Rock and South Surrey BNSF railway track could be relocated.

“If I’m elected, I will certainly be working very closely with the city in terms of the work that’s been undertaken,” Watts said.

Added to her list of issues in South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale is truck traffic.

“We have the second-largest border crossing in the country,” Watts said.

“We have almost a million trucks going back and forth across the truck crossing each and every year.”

That has a significant impact on roads and communities, she said.

The 16 Avenue off-ramp is complete, but Watts said more work needs to be done. She said Surrey has done well Dianne Watts with securing federal infrastructure funding and she wants to make sure that continues.

From a federal perspective, for Watts, it comes down to which party to trust.

With conflicts erupting in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq, a Tory government is the one she wants in place to deal with those issues.

“Canada has a moral obligation to be involved, to play a leadership role and that’s one of the things I’m significantly proud of right now,” Watts said. “We are taking a leadership role.”

There are other issues she wants to bring to Ottawa. She is fully supportive of the Northern Gateway pipeline, saying the 209 conditions to be met ensure it will be built with environmental safety.

She pointed out what it would mean if Canada stopped oil production tomorrow.

“There would be significant impact globally, because hundreds of thousands of people would perish (due to issues around) heating and cooling, food safety, health, emergency services, all of those things,” Watts said.

That said, she believes the country should be “transitioning out” of fossil fuels.

She also said she would examine what’s being done on the national housing front to see if it can be done better.

She wants to continue Surrey’s long-fought battle to have cities receive their share of a gas tax in order to pay for transportation. continued on page 11

Hepner pledges to relocate trains ▼ SURREY FIRST MAYORAL CANDIDATE SAYS NO ISSUE TRUMPS SAFETY TRACY HOLMES

With the Nov. 15 civic election less than two months away, Surrey mayoral hopeful Linda Hepner says she wants voters to be clear on where she and other Surrey First candidates stand on relocating the BNSF rail line.

It’s important for people to know “where to put their mark on the ballot,” Hepner said. “I am committed.”

Hepner – backed by Coun. Judy Villeneuve and council hopefuls Mike Starchuk, Dave Woods and Vera LeFranc – made a pledge to focus on rail relocation Tuesday morning at a media event near the Beecher Street railway crossing in Crescent Beach.

It followed a weekend meeting with White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, who on Sept. 8 was supported by his council on a motion to direct city staff to initiate the process and application to relocate the century-old line from the waterfront, via the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act. Hepner, who lives in South Surrey’s Elgin neighbourhood, said her biggest concern with the trains is safety. There is no access or egress to Crescent Beach whenever a train rolls by or breaks down in that area, and she questions how many more heavy, long trains the bluffs can take.

“These trains are now completely isolating an entire community,” Hepner said, to applause from the crowd of more than 50.

▶ “These trains are now completely isolating an entire community.”

“I am simply not convinced that the slope is not being compromised.”

Hepner promised that, if elected mayor, she would immediately engage railway owner BNSF in discussions to have the tracks moved to a more direct, faster and safer inland route. Should that fail, the Surrey First team will work with the City of White Rock to use the Railway Relocation and Crossing Act, she said.

Rail safety and relocation of the line off of the South Surrey/White Rock coastline have been hot topics on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, especially this past year, ever since Quebec’s Lac Mégantic derailment in July 2013 and, closer to home, the death of a jogger on East Beach tracks a week later.

Critics have cited issues ranging from dangerous-goods shipments and increased coal dust, to pedestrian safety, beach access and noise pollution.

Residents who turned out for the Surrey First announcement questioned Hepner on alternate route options, the city’s relationship with Transport Canada, quelling train whistles and if five years – as suggested by Baldwin last week – is a reasonable time frame to strive for.

Hepner said five years is “probably realistic if not optimistic,” and that city engineers are discussing routing.

Hepner said that when it comes to the trains, public safety is her top priority.

“I know that a strong economy needs the bedrock of business,” she said. “This is about safety. Absolutely nothing trumps safety.

“We need to urge the federal government and the railway to work with us to solve this problem.”

Four options for track realignment – all in the City of Surrey, three east of 176 Street – were presented

by Surrey First founder Mayor Dianne Watts at a joint community forum in South Surrey last fall, however, Hepner said Tuesday that her aim was to talk about why relocation is becoming increasingly important.

“We weren’t talking options today,” she said after her presentation.

students, who begin school on a gradual entry schedule. “We’re ready to hit the ground running,â€? said Surrey School District communications manager Doug Strachan. “There might be a few bumps as we get things going again‌ but we’re anxious to welcome students back, teachers as well, and get on with the school year.â€?

Acceptance of the teachers’ deal would mark the end of a bitter strike that cancelled school at the end of June and delayed the September start by three weeks.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the tentative agreement provides for “hundreds of new teachers� as well as raises for regulator and substitute teachers and improved extended health benefits.

The agreement also includes “a mutually agreed process to address any future court decision,� with the government’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size and teacher staff levels set to go to appeal in October, he said.

Iker said one aspect of the union’s court victory in January is dealt with in the tentative agreement. A lump-sum payment to BCTF members for “retro-grievances� as a result of the changes to working conditions will be made if the deal is ratified.

Premier Christy Clark thanked parents for their patience as the strike dragged into the fall, saying a negotiated settlement was the only way to improve a relationship that has been dysfunctional for 30 years. “We’ll have five years to talk about the things that really matter, and that’s children in classrooms,� Clark said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said a plan is being developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas holidays, spring break or adding days to the end of the school year.

In a letter Wednesday to Surrey parents, school Supt. Jordan Tinney said it was “unlikely� the length of the school day would be adjusted. “Surrey already has extended days where overcrowding in some schools makes this a necessity,� he wrote, referring to schools such as Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

▶ ‘IT’D BE A BEAUTIFUL TRAIL’ She acknowledged she hasn’t always backed the call for relocation.

“In the past, I was not certain the frequency (of the trains) warranted it,” she said.

Last fall, after Watts’ Nov. 26 forum – for which costs of relocation were estimated to be in the $350-450 million range – Hepner was more wary of the likelihood of rail relocation.

She was not at the meeting, but said in an interview weeks later that the idea of a “Utopia” without tracks on the waterfront has come up repeatedly since she was first elected to council in 1985, and that without BNSF support, such discussion is premature.

Helpner also noted then that the issue is a national one – not just a concern in Surrey and White Rock.

“I sit as a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which has had a national rail safety committee since the Lac Mégantic disaster,” she said. “The question arises that,

if we’re going to move our rails, who else in this nation may wish to move theirs? It’s such a big conversation and we’re a ways away from that coming to fruition.”

Hepner, at that time, also noted she’s concerned “any time we have a significant requirement for new infrastructure it comes at the expense of agricultural land” and some

of the alternate route options presented are “beyond 70 per cent in agricultural land.”

Representatives of the Crescent Beach Property Owners’ Association said they were pleased by Tuesday’s announcement.

“Anything that shows a level of commitment to the rail issue is good news… regardless of whether it’s politically or otherwise moti-

vated,” said Malcolm Stewart.

Stewart said shifting the tracks to a more direct inland route “is very much a win from the business point of view and from the safety.”

Art Van Wart said the tracks “have to go.”

“It’d be a beautiful trail,” he said, referring to an earlier reference made by Villeneuve.

Epic civic battle brewing The battle lines for the Surrey civic election are being drawn, and voters will have many candidates to choose from.

Thus far, the incumbent Surrey First team has endorsed Coun.

Linda Hepner for mayor and has a slate of eight running mates seeking councillor seats, three of them new to civic politics.

Five incumbents councillors are seeking re-election.

Former mayor Doug McCallum announced a slate called Safe Surrey Coalition last week, and has four candidates running with him and seeking council seats.

Coun. Barinder Rasode, who has left Surrey First, is expected to announce she is also running for mayor on Saturday, and is also expected to unveil a slate of councillor candidates.

That means there will be three slates or groups going head to head – something that hasn’t been seen in Surrey for many years. In two of the three elections won by current Mayor Dianne Watts, Surrey First candidates ran against Surrey Civic Coalition, which struggled to compete with a slate filled mainly with incumbents. SCC – rebranded as Surrey Matters – is dormant at present. It did not put forth a mayoral candidate in 2008 and 2011, which weakened its appeal as an alternative.

This election looks much like those of the late 1970s, many of which were epic battles.

It is even more similar to the

1987 election, which saw three well-known councillors run for mayor and three slates go head-to-head. That election was similar in another way – it was the first of two elections which had council make the transition to three-year terms.

This election will, for the first time, see the mayor and council elected for four-year terms – a long time in civic politics.

In 1987, Bob Bose (who is supporting Rasode) represented Surrey Civic Electors, who were an arm of the provincial NDP. Bonnie Schrenk ran for the Surrey Non-Partisan Association, while Paul Easton ran for Surrey Municipal Electors, which had controlled council for most of the previous decade.

Schrenk had been a member of SME before going to the SNPA, after publicly disagreeing with the majority party. Her position at that time was quite similar to Rasode’s this year.

Easton was in the challenging position of being the defender of the status quo at a time when there was increasing dissatisfaction with some council decisions.

His position was very similar to that of Hepner’s.

In addition, Easton and Schrenk were drawing from largely the same right-of-centre voter pool, which allowed Bose to come through and win. He also had the advantages of being

More cops not possible ▼ HIRING 95 MORE MOUNTIES BY 2015 SOUNDS GOOD, BUT RCMP’S DEPOT CAN’T SUPPLY THAT MANY

I read with interest the recent front page article on how the newly formed “Safe Surrey Coalition” is going fix the police service in our city.

The mere fact that we have to name a slate group “Safe Surrey Coalition” says it all. After two decades of prom-

ises we are still playing catch-up and there are neighbourhoods in our city where residents do not feel safe. If you do not feel safe in your own community, nothing else matters.

Once again Doug McCallum is promising better police service for our city. At one point in his former term in office we had a ratio of one cop to more than 900 in population in this city. The question begs to be answered, why did he not hire the officers needed to serve our city when he was our mayor?

He states that his new “Safe Surrey Coalition” team will double the number of officers on patrol and accelerate the hiring of 95 more officers by 2015. Sounds good on paper, but I am told it is unsustainable.

RCMP training Depot in Regina cannot supply us with that many officers in that time frame.

The same old promises and the same old song.

▼ PORT METRO VANCOUVER HAS SHOWN NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR PUBLIC Unbelievable? Yes. Unexpected? No. How can the approval by Port Metro Vancouver on Fraser Surrey Docks’ new coal transfer facility be unexpected when they obediently obey the dictates of Harper and company in Ottawa.

Unbelievable that we will now have up to eight million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal annually passing through White Rock, Crescent Beach, Delta and Surrey. It will then be loaded uncovered on barges moving through the Gulf Islands to Texada Island, where it will be piled exposed to the elements awaiting shipment to China.

The contempt which PMV has shown to the public who will be affected is beyond belief. Rather ironic that this travesty is approved at the same time another port in Oregon was denied a permit to ship coal.

on council for most of the previous decade and of coming from a well-known Surrey family.

His grandfather had been reeve (mayor) of Surrey from 1905 to 1909.

There was no equivalent in 1987 to what McCallum is attempting to do – regain the mayor’s chair he held for nine years. Historically, it has been difficult for former mayors to win their seats back in Surrey, with only longtime reeve Joe Brown doing so in 1940 and reeve Bob Nesbitt coming back to win the seat in a byelection after the death of reeve George Hahn in 1961. Surrey’s first mayor, Thomas Shannon, also did so in 1886.

Indeed, four-term mayor Don Ross, who voluntarily stepped aside in 1987, came back to run against Bose in 1990 and was defeated.

This will be a hard-fought race for mayor, but the fight for council seats will also be intense.

All three groups will have well-financed and professional campaigns and voters will have to look over the candidates’ qualifications at some length before casting ballots.

It is important to vote. The council elected by voters this November will be in office until December 2018 – and a great deal will happen in Surrey between now and then.

FOR A REASON...

Harsher penalties ONLINE AND IN PRINT for distracted drivers Are you on top of the fast▼ ICBC NEEDS TO GET IT RIGHT

Re: ICBC’s request for an increase to basic insurance due to increased payouts because of distracted driving.

I have been driving for over 45 years and have never been involved in an accident. ICBC claims distracted driving is the second-leading cause of fatalities on B.C. roads, second to speeding, and drinking and driving is the third. I would like to know why ICBC thinks I should have an increase to my insurance for

others’ stupidity?

If distracted drivers are responsible for more accidents than drinking and driving, why do the penalties for distracted driving not reflect that?

Should these penalties not be in line with or more severe than those for drinking and driving?

If ICBC can’t get it right, maybe it’s time for the government to bring in private insurance. After all, do we not live in a conservative society?

Because this seems more like communism to me.

▼ FRUSTRATED WITH CRAPPY DOG OWNERS It’s so frustrating to see some irresponsible dog owners not picking up their dogs’ business from people’s yards and Surrey’s grass areas. Many neighbourhood kids step in it and it’s not up to others to pick up behind you. Maybe some of you should invest in goldfish if you can’t take care of your four-legged pets.

The site where a young Surrey man was killed three-and-a-half years ago is set to open as a park this weekend.

In April 2011, Devon Allaire-Bell, 19, was killed by a gang of thugs at at Frank Hurt Secondary School.

The killers have not yet been found.

However, Allaire-Bell’s family has been working to clean up the area since the murder and has now been told it will be the site of Frank Hurt Park, which will officially open this Saturday (Sept. 20).

“Although the city couldn’t accept our application to have the park named after Devon, it certainly was inspired by Devon and we will always know in Devon Allaireour hearts why it’s there,” said Bell Devon’s mother Cynthia. “We will spend the rest of our lives thanking everyone who was involved in this project. Devon was taken from us and we will never get him back. The only thing we can do is come together as a community and take back our parks.”

A carving of a Haida eagle by Robert Davidson will be installed in memory of Devon on Saturday.

Delta Police chief to retire ▶ JIM CESSFORD WILL STEP DOWN IN EARLY 2015 SHEILA REYNOLDS

Jim Cessford

Longtime Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford has announced he will retire early next year, after two decades at the helm in Delta.

Cessford, who joined the Delta Police department in 1995, said after discussing the matter with his family, decided it’s a good time to move on.

“The department is in a good place right now and we have an outstanding team ready to take on the challenge of leading the organization into the future,” he said, adding Delta is one of the

Donegal’s Wish You Were Here!

safest communities in Canada.

Cessford began his career in Alberta, where he served with the Edmonton Police Service for 27 years in various roles, including hostage negotiator and major crimes investigator.

He received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, the Order of Merit for Police Services in 2010 and was named Delta’s Citizen of the Year in 2009.

Mayor Lois Jackson, who is also chair of the Police Board, said there will be big shoes to fill with Cessford’s departure in early 2015.

“Delta Police has a reputation second to none across Canada, and we plan on keeping that status,” Jackson said.

from page 3

And she wants to find a way cities can become aware of residences that have housed licensed medical marijuana grow operations. City officials have long said they need to be inspected for fire safety. Ottawa has countered that it’s a privacy issue.

As to her long-standing concern about a more equitable sharing of funding for RCMP, Watts said she would also look into that.

Currently, the federal government pays 10 per cent of the policing cost and Watts has always said it should be more.

She acknowledges there’s a contract in place, but says if all parties agree, it could be changed.

As to what skills she brings as a candidate for the riding and representative in Ottawa, Watts says there are a few.

“There are a number of skill sets I think that I bring to bear,” Watts said. “I do believe it is the integrity that I have carried through my tenure as mayor, the ability to bring people together and to deal with issues head-on.”

With a civic election on Nov. 15, will she be able to work with a new mayor?

Watts had a well-publicized split from Doug McCallum (who is running this year with the Safe Surrey Coalition) when she took the mayor’s chair from him in 2005, and has a similar bitter relationship with Coun. Barinder Rasode (who will announce her run for mayor this weekend).

Watts said she can work with either of them.

“It’s my intention to work with everyone,” Watts said. “It’s a matter of taking the high road, identifying the issues and getting the work done.”

“I do have a great working relationship with Coun. Hepner (who is running for mayor under the Surrey First banner).

Watts says she will remain actively involved in helping Hepner with her campaign.

Riding at a glance: The new South Surrey-White Rock riding includes the electoral area formerly included in the ridings of Surrey (1966-71), Surrey-White Rock (1971-76), and Surrey-White Rock-North

Delta (1976-87).

It reverted to Surrey-White Rock from 1987-1990, then became Surrey-White Rock-South Langley (1990-96), South Surrey-White Rock-Langley (1996-2003) and South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale (2003 to the

Russ Hiebert

present).

New electoral boundaries announced in early 2013 will slice Cloverdale from the riding for the 2015 federal election, placing it in newly created Cloverdale-Langley, which will include the fast-growing Clayton area of Surrey.

The largely suburban/ rural riding – which in-

cludes Semiahmoo First Nation reserve land and two of Western Canada’s busiest U.S. border crossings – has long been considered a stronghold for representatives of Canada’s conservative parties (including the former Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance).

Progressive Conservative backbencher Benno Friesen was the region’s five-term federal representative, from 1974-93.

He was succeeded

by Val Meredith, who served from 1993 to 2004, first elected as a member of the Reform party. The party transitioned into the Canadian Alliance and the Conservative party during her second and third terms, and she failed to gain the Conservative nomination in 2004, when Russ Hiebert was, in the words of some, “parachuted” into the riding and was re-elected in four consecutive elections.

A staunch supporter of Prime Minister Stephen Harper – though he was never awarded a cabinet post – Hiebert has weathered storms over high personal expenses

in 2008-09 (highest that year for a B.C. MP and the second-highest in Canada) and murmurings of discontent among longtime Conservatives in the area, which came to a head in early 2011.

The riding was last contested in 2011, when Hiebert successfully outpaced challengers Hardy Staub (Liberal), Susan Keeping (NDP), Larry Colero (Green), Brian Marlatt (Progressive Canadian), Mike Schoute (Christian Heritage) and independents David Hawkins, Aart Looye and Kevin Donohoe.

In February of this year, Hiebert surprised many in announcing he would not be seeking a fifth term, saying it was time for him and his family to “move on to new challenges.”

As recently as March, Electoral District Association President Jerry Presley denied the Conservatives were wooing Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts as a federal candidate for the riding.

He said she had not approached him to run, and that there had been no discussion of the idea at the local riding level.

Bicyclists Held to the Same Standards as Motorists

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

I

Barrister & Solicitor

n British Columbia, there is no specific “Bicycle Act” dealing with “bicycle law”. We can expect one in the not too distant future. In the meantime, although a bicycle in the usual sense of the word a bicycle is not a motor vehicle, most of what bicyclists need to know about the rules of the road is found in the BC Motor Vehicle Act. (Note that the Act likes to use the word “cycle”.)

Apart from rules concerning helmet use, the main body of legislation in this regard — Rights and Duties of Operator of Cycle — is found in section 183 of the Act, quoted here in part, with minor formatting changes, as follows: 1. a person operating a cycle on a highway has the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle. (Editorial note: the Motor Vehicle Act is a large statute, but the central theme is that a vehicle operator must always drive with “due care and attention”.)

2. A person operating a cycle must: (a) not ride on a sidewalk unless authorized by a bylaw made under section 124 or unless otherwise directed by a sign, (b) not, for the purpose of crossing a highway, ride on a crosswalk unless authorized to do so by a bylaw made under section 124 or unless otherwise directed by a sign, (c) subject to paragraph (a), ride as

near as practicable to the right side of the highway (except that nothing here requires a person to ride a cycle on any part of a highway that is not paved.) (d) not ride abreast of another person operating a cycle on the roadway, (e) keep at least one hand on the handlebars, (f ) not ride other than on or astride a regular seat of the cycle, (g) not use the cycle to carry more persons at one time than the number for which it is designed and equipped, and (h) not ride a cycle on a highway where signs prohibit their use. (Editorial note: a special rule for any bicyclists who do not understand what a “No Bicycles” sign means.)

Under section 183(4), the Act goes on to choreograph the proper left turn scenario for bicyclists trying to negotiate this often terrifying manoeuvre on a major roadway. No one should ever ride a bicycle again until they have read, and been tested on the rules in this regard.

See http://www.bclaws.ca/.

Section 183 then deals with requirements for after dark lighting, brakes, requirements in the event of an accident causing injury or damage, and a significant list of safety concerns related to the obvious misuse of a bicycle. A conscientious bicyclist will no doubt make a point of reading all of section 183, which takes a few minutes and again, can be found at http://www.bclaws.ca/.

And something fairly new: in instances of egregious behaviour as defined by the Act, police may seize a bicycle for a prescribed period of time. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

Rich-poor disparity wide ▶ RICHEST TENTH IN BRITISH COLUMBIA HOLD MORE THAN HALF OF WEALTH JEFF NAGEL

The disparity in wealth between rich and poor is wider in B.C. than any other province, according to the findings of a left-leaning think tank.

The Broadbent

Institute report found the richest 10 per cent of B.C. residents held 56.2 per cent of financial assets, excluding pensions, while the poorest half of residents owned 3.1 per cent.

It said 2012 data from Statistics Canada shows the concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest 10 per cent was most pronounced in B.C.

Nationally, the richest tenth of Canadians hold 47.9 per cent of the wealth, while the bottom half hold 5.5 per cent.

Distribution of wealth was most equitable in the Atlantic region, where 31.7 per cent of assets are held by the wealthiest 10 per cent and the bottom half of the population hold 11.5 per cent.

Delayed municipal audits under fire from critics ▶ FINDINGS WITHHELD DURING ELECTION CAMPAIGN JEFF NAGEL

B.C.’s Auditor General for Local Government is behind schedule in probing several municipalities and won’t table their audits until early 2015, after the November municipal elections.

Basia Ruta had set an original target of this past spring to complete audits on either operational procurement or policing budget and contract oversight for 18 municipalities, including Surrey, Delta, Vernon, West Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster.

Just two reports have been finished – one focusing on an untendered contract in Rossland and the other on general municipal procurement.

Ruta said the work is taking longer than anticipated and it would be inappropriate to release any audits of individual cities this fall during local campaigns, noting that’s not done by

federal or provincial auditors-general either.

“You really need to respect the democratic process and the reports are not to be perceived to be biasing judgment,” she said.

“I find that ridiculous,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman. “What better time to give the public information than in an election when they can act upon it in an expeditious manner?”

Bateman said he’s disappointed with the delays and said it appears Ruta’s twoyear-old Surrey office bit off more than it could chew in terms of the number of audits pursued.

Policing has been a top issue in Surrey and Bateman said it would have been “perfectly useful” for voters to have had Ruta’s audit of how the City of Surrey is managing its policing contract before they go to the polls.

Ruta said many outstanding audits are still awaiting comment from local municipalities before they can be

finalized.

She said she also

wanted a range of municipalities of different

size and representing different regions ana-

lyzed in parallel to ease comparisons between

them and to improve the overall results.

Millions of small acts.

One big win for our environment.

By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)

The success of our system for recycling beverage containers proves that millions of small acts can add up to a big win for the environment.

Whether it’s aluminum cans, juice boxes, cartons, or glass and plastic bottles, if you are a typical BC resident, you probably generate four or ¿ve empty beverage containers a week.

That doesn’t sound like a lot, but do the math and it adds up to hundreds of millions of empty beverage containers a year that would end up in the land¿ll, if British Columbians like you hadn’t returned those containers for recycling.

In fact, last year almost 1 billion used beverage containers were returned for deposit and processed into new products. That includes more than 360 million aluminum cans, 338 million plastic bottles, 195 million glass bottles and 71 million drink boxes and cartons.

In total nearly 100,000 metric tons of material was kept out of BC’s land¿lls. If you ¿nd it hard to imagine what that means, then consider that it is the equivalent weight of 60,000 midsized cars.

That’s right, the equivalent of 60,000 cars was removed from BC’s land¿lls, a few cans, bottles and cartons at a time.

But that’s not the only bene¿t for BC. Recycling empty containers uses less energy than producing new ones.

The equivalent of 60,000 cars was removed from BC’s landfills, a few cans, bottles and cartons at a time.

For example, used aluminum cans are turned into new cans, a process that uses only 5% of the energy it takes to make new aluminum. Drink boxes and cartons are pulped and made into tissue and cardboard, saving 17 trees for every ton of paper ¿ber produced. Plastic bottles are 100 percent recyclable for use in new plastic containers, and glass bottles are made into new bottles and sandblasting material.

As a result, the recycling of beverage containers contributed to a reduction of 135,000 tons of carbon dioxide that otherwise would have gone into BC’s atmosphere. Keeping with the driving theme, that’s the equivalent of taking 39,000 cars off the road in BC every year.

BC has one of the highest beverage container recycling rates in North America – last year 80

Nearly 100,000 metric tons of material was kept out of BC’s landfills. percent of all beverage containers sold in BC were returned and recycled. One reason for the high recovery rate is the many options that British Columbians have for returning their containers.

The Return-It™ network of over 170 depots across the province is the heart of the system, collecting over 90 percent of recycled containers.

Their share of returns continues to grow, in part because today’s depots are consumer friendly, clean, bright and open with large sorting tables.

It is also because today many depots accept a wide range of products for recycling, making them a convenient one-stop location for your recycling needs. For example, over 90 percent of Return-It Depots accept consumer electronics, like computers, TVs and printers, for recycling. Many also accept small appliances, paint, light bulbs and more.

For hotels, of¿ces, restaurants and multi-family buildings, many Return-It Depots and specialized mobile collectors offer a pick-up program, primarily in the Metro Vancouver area. If you live in a townhouse, condominium or apartment, look for the Encorp or Return-It branded collection bins in the garbage or recycling area of your building.

ADVERTORIAL

For recycling ‘on the go’, you may have noticed blue beverage container bins in various neighbourhoods in the City of Vancouver.

These bins are non-locking and designed to be self-serviced by residents or people wanting to receive the deposit refund attached to the containers deposited in the bins. This successful program is now expanding to other Metro Vancouver areas and to towns around BC. Even with this extensive system, though, BC would not have one of the highest recycling rates in North America without consumers making the decision to do the right thing for the environment.

That amounts to almost 3 million containers a day diverted from land¿lls to be made into new products – a lot of small acts adding up to a lot of good for BC.

Millions of Fraser sockeye shun U.S. waters, fill B.C. nets

Dr. R. G. Dyck

WWW.SURREYOPTOMETRY.CA

JEFF NAGEL

A quirk of nature has handed B.C. commercial fishermen a huge catch of sockeye salmon this summer, while leaving their American counterparts almost

empty-handed.

Commercial fishing is winding down and the tally of the totes so far shows U.S. fishermen out of Washington State have caught barely 440,000 sockeye, a mere five per cent of the total Fraser-bound catch as of Sept. 12.

By comparison, Canadian seiners, gillnetters and trollers, as well as First Nations and sports

anglers, have caught a combined 7.9 million sockeye.

Americans had been allocated 1.8 million but haven’t come close to that quota because nearly all the Fraser sockeye have stayed out of U.S. waters by running down the east side of Vancouver Island via Johnstone Strait.

It’s not that the salmon have been patriotic about sticking

Mike Lapointe to the all-Canadian migration route.

Pacific Salmon Commission Chief Biologist Mike Lapointe says warm ocean temperatures likely mean Fraser sockeye ranged further into the Gulf of Alaska and then, on their homeward migration, made landfall further north than usual up the B.C. coast.

A normal year sees Fraser sockeye flow more evenly around Vancouver Island, with significant numbers going down the west side where Americans can fish in Juan de Fuca Strait.

But since early August more than 98 per cent have taken Johnstone Strait.

“It’s very unusual,” Lapointe said, adding it’s been hard on American fishermen because Fraser sockeye “just aren’t swimming through their waters.”

The closest U.S. boats can get to the Canadian fishing frenzy is the U.S. water off Point Roberts, where BC Ferries passengers near Tsawwassen have been able to spot American boats fishing steadily.

Lapointe said unusual Fraser sockeye catches in southeast Alaska and off Haida Gwaii have been strong evidence of a more northerly landfall this year, with many more fish funnelled into Johnstone Strait.

The total Fraser sockeye run size is estimated at 20.7 million this year – very close to the mid-range pre-season estimate.

Lapointe said dangerously warm river temperatures have cooled, returning sockeye appear to be in good shape and plenty of fish are reaching the spawning grounds – all factors that bode well for a

good run in 2018.

He said an unusual number of returning sockeye have been caught with either lamprey eels sucking on them or evidence of lamprey marks, but that doesn’t seem to have killed many.

Lampreys can survive in fresh water so “they can latch onto a sockeye in Georgia Strait and hang onto it and ride it right up the river.”

Unlike some recent years when the fleet was sidelined because the run was too small to fish, this year’s sockeye return – though short of a record – gave all groups of fishermen repeated openings.

“This is the biggest run of the four-year cycle,” Lapointe said.

“In many ways it’s the one-in-four year opportunity these guys get.”

Some commercial sockeye fishing was allowed last year, when about four million salmon returned to the Fraser, after a shutdown in 2012.

Fishery managers are hopeful Fraser sockeye are gradually rebuilding since the disastrous 2009 run when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, triggering the Cohen Inquiry.

Lapointe said most fishing could be end as soon as this week to protect weaker coho salmon stocks.

One stock that returned weaker than was hoped was the Cultus Lake sockeye, where fewer than 300 fish have come back.

“That’s definitely a concern,” Lapointe said.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4

By Kerry Vital

If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam.

Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information

and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute oneon-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance.

Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces.

A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online.

“Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.”

De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator.

“The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.

The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood.

“South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,

vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!”

The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious

curb appeal.

Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family.

Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite.

The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes.

Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight.

“The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says.

The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-

steel appliances.

Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows.

Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home.

Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area.

Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head.

“The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.”

Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system.

“There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.”

The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers.

“There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan.

Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood.

Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away.

Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street.

“It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.”

With a new head coach and just three returning players, expectations for the Valley West Hawks will remain the same – to finish near the top of the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML).

“We have speed, great goaltending and depth at the back end,” said Jessie Leung, who takes over as head coach of the Hawks after spending the past three seasons with the team as an assistant coach.

“I expect us to be near the top.”

The Hawks draw elite 15-17 year-olds from the Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley Minor Hockey Associations and will play a 40-game season in the MML. Last season, their 27-11-2 (won-lost-tied) record set a club record for wins, and matched previous bests with 56 points and a third place finish. They reached the semifinal round of the playoffs for just the second time, losing a best-of-three series in Kelowna to the Okanagan Rockets in three games.

Winning is nice, but moving players to the next level is what the Hawks strike for.

And Valley West also excelled in that area.

Matt Bradley of Surrey led the Hawks in goal scoring last season with 39 tallies in 37 games played, and this season finds himself on a Major Junior team.

“He lit it up last year, and stepped it up in Medicine Hat (Tigers) and cracked their top line,” said Leung. “And our captain last year, Paul Savage (of Surrey), is with the Yorkton Terriers (Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League), and Mitch Newsome (Surrey) is now with the Penticton Vees (BC Hockey League).”

White Rock forwards Matt Barberis and Ty Westgard have made the jump from

Defencemen Cole McEwan and Spencer Berry had a small taste of the MML last season, and have cracked the roster of this season’s team.

“We brought them to the Mac’s (tournament in Calgary) last season, and they didn’t look out of place.”

Valley West begins the season in Prince George, playing twice against the Cariboo Cougars Saturday night and Sunday morning in a rematch of last year’s best-of-three quarterfinal series, won by the Hawks in two games.

“I like it,” said Leung of the season-opening road trip. “We get away and get to do some team-building, there will be some bonding both on the bus and in the hotel.”

▶ EAGLES WILL START A ROOKIE IN GOAL From page 30

against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Among the newcomers are a pair of Surrey rookies – John Wesley and Matt Barberis – who were late cuts of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants.

Wesley, 17, led the Junior B Richmond Sockeyes in scoring last season with 27 goals and 57 points in 44 games, while Barberis spent last year with the Valley West Hawks of the BC Hockey Major Midget League.

Ty Westgard, son of president/owner Chuck, is also a rookie to watch this season, Neufeld said.

A draft pick of the WHL’s Victoria Royals, the Valley West-grad is

“going to be one of our most exciting players to watch” Neufeld predicted.

The youngsters will be led by some key returnees, namely 20-yearold Chase McMurphy and Darius Davidson.

Speaking of McMurphy – who was acquired last season from the Vernon Vipers – Neufeld expects him to “put up some pretty big numbers for us” during the 2014-15 season.

Last year, he had 11 points in 18 games for the Eagles, after tallying seven points in 18 games in Vernon.

With so much youth up front, Neufeld expects the team’s strength to come from the back-end – at least until the young forwards adjust to the league.

On the blue-line, Brian Drapluk returns from last season, while towering Surrey-born defenceman Latrell Charleson – who was acquired in the summer from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League – will “definitely be a top-four guy” according to Neufeld.

One of the more intriguing players on the team this year will be found in the crease, as 19-year-old Ontario native Christian Short has cemented himself as the early-season starter.

Short played last year at a U.S. prep academy – Cantebury School in Connecticut – and will get his first taste of junior hockey this season.

The rookie will certainly take up plenty

of space between the pipes – he’s listed at six-foot-four and 203 pounds – and, Neufeld said, has already drawn interest from college scouts.

With so much youth in the lineup – Westgard has repeatedly referred to it as a “transition” period – Neufeld said he’ll be patient with his squad, but it still aiming for a playoff spot.

“That’s the goal, absolutely. We’ve got a bunch of new players, young players, but they’re a confident bunch. We’ll see what happens.”

’Hawks fall on a field goal RICK KUPCHUK

A last-second field goal lifted the Centennial Centaurs to a 28-27 win over the Seaquam Seahawks Friday night in Coquitlam, leaving the Seahawks coaching staff ecstatic.

The coaching staff at the North Delta school scheduled a preseason game against the Centaurs, who play at the Senior AAA level of the BC High School Football Association, as a test for the Senior AA Seahawks. And the ‘Hawks, coaches say, passed that test.

“Some people may look at a 28-27 loss and say it was heartbreaking. Far from it,” said Seahawks head coach Jerry Mullis.

“Whenever we play AAA competition we know we are going to physically undersized so it all comes down to heart and execution.

We’ve got the heart and we are improving our execution.”

Joss Yanciw threw to Grade 11 running back Austin Blum for the first Seaquam major in the opening quarter. Blum added another touchdown in the second half, while Yanciw scored two more majors and finished the game with 212 yards passing.

Rob Hodgins with 19 tackles and Fil Demcak with seven led the defense.

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising.

Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.

Verdict There is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added.

There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

the base $14,495 DX trim. Move up one step to the $17,295 LX trim and Honda includes a huge 7-inch touch-sensitive Display Audio system and heated front seats (my favourite). There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent.

This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point. This car is all about smart money.

Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again.

Animations created by the ten-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie.

The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ influenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her.

Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested.

Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what.

All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reflective signs collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo urged us to visit will govern your speed and braking such historic automatically.

You soon figure whether he’s locations as trustworthy or not. In addition, Dunkirk, Bruges lane control keeps you on the and Brussels.” straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system.

Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks.

Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions.

Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot.

Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying.

2014 Fiat 500C Lounge

The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic.

John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.”

Hmmmm.

As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining.

In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it.

One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it.

No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is.

The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs.

You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.)

Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors

GET UP U TO

$ that help guide you into the spot you want to be in.

The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open.

Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility.

An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either.

Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace.

While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect.

I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it.

DRIVE WAY

152 St.

two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it looks stylish and chic.

Bringing the outside in, the espresso paint also colours to life the dash. Combined with ivory touches, it has an upscale ambiance.

The tester, being the Lounge trim of 500C, it has an MSRP of $23,995.

That comes with keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel (and the aforementioned leather seating surfaces with heated front seats), 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, hill start assist and more.

When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required.

It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt with abrasion or discomfort.

Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the push of a button. One is a sunroof-like option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume.

I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love… I LOVE IT!”

Drives -UCrazy

Witnessed in Kelowna: Helmetless teenager riding his bike the wrong way in a bike lane, not holding the handlebars because he needed hands to hold the cell phone he was using at the time and give me the finger with his other hand as I passed shaking my head at his stupidity!
