The family of a Surrey couple killed in a hit-and-run crash in 2008 is concerned the convicted driver, who is scheduled to be released from prison today (Nov. 13), may still be a risk to the public.

Ravinder Singh Binning pled guilty and was sentenced in 2012 to four-and-a-half years in jail (reduced to four with credit for time

served) for the crash that killed Dilbag Badh, 61, and his 60-yearold wife Bakhshish Badh, as well as severely injuring their two daughters.

Binning has now been granted statutory release after serving twothirds of his sentence.

Surrey mayoral candidates in tight race

Ravinder Singh Binning (below) pled guilty and was sentenced in 2012 to four-and-ahalf years in jail (reduced to four with credit for time served) for the crash that killed Dilbag Badh, 61, and his 60-year-old wife Bakhshish Badh (left), as well as severely injuring their two daughters. Binning gets out of jail today (Thursday).

▼ ONE IN FOUR VOTERS (24 PER CENT) STILL UNDECIDED KEVIN DIAKIW

Three mayoral candidates are in a dead heat, according to the latest opinion poll.

Insights West released the results of a poll on Monday that shows Surrey mayoral contestants Doug McCallum, Linda Hepner and Barinder Rasode in a tightly contested race for the mayor’s chair.

The online poll shows of decided voters, Hepner and McCallum are neck and neck at 33 per cent, and Rasode just behind at 30 per cent.

Only those three were asked about specifically, even though other candidates are vying for the mayor’s chair, including independents John Edwards, Grant Rice, Vikram Bajwa and John Wolanski. The poll showed they would take four per cent of the vote.

One in four of those polled (24 per cent) said they were undecided.

The poll shows Rasode has the bulk of the youth vote (40 per cent of those between 18 and 34 years), while Hepner has a fix (42 per cent) on those 55 years and older.

Women are more likely to vote for Hepner (36 per cent), according to the poll, followed by McCallum and Rasode who are tied at 29 per cent.

The poll says Hepner’s strength is in arts and culture (24 per cent), McCallum’s is economic development (25 per cent) and Rasode leads in crime reduction (27 per cent).

“Any one of these three candidates can win this election, particularly with so many voters still making up their minds,” said Mario Canseco, vice-president of public affairs at Insights West.

“All three have created lasting impresMario Canseco sions on voters. McCallum is now seen as a superior economic manager, Rasode is gaining traction with her position on crime, and Hepner continues to represent a sound option for the status-quo on services.”

Results are based on an online study conducted from Nov. 6 to Nov. 8 among 510 City of Surrey residents aged 18 and over who are Your Insights panel members.

YourInsights.ca is Insights West’s in-house access panel offering on-demand samples for both clients and research suppliers looking for Western Canadian populations. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for Surrey for age, gender and region. Results have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Go to http://bit.ly/10XKGZ4 view the detailed data tabulations for this survey.

▶ ‘THE HEARTACHE HAS AND WILL RESIDE WITH US FOR A LIFETIME,’ DAUGHTER OF VICTIMS SAYS from page 1

Statutory release is automatically granted to most offenders after they’ve served two-thirds of their sentence, unless it is recommended by the Correctional Service of Canada that they be detained longer.

In July 2008, four members of the Badh family were driving home from an engagement celebration when Binning, speeding down 128 Street near 85 Avenue in Surrey, slammed into the back of the Badh’s vehicle.

Dilbag and Bakhshish were killed instantly, while daughters Varinder and Rupi were seriously hurt. Binning fled the scene without calling 911 or providing any assistance.

He was not arrested and charged until June 2010, and did not plead guilty until his trial was to begin in February 2012.

Varinder Badh, one of the deceased couple’s daughters who was injured in the crash, is concerned Bin▶ “We aren’t sure ning – who had a total of 16 driving prohibitions if Binning has between 2002 and 2009, received the help many of them alcohol-related – has not been he needs to address rehabilitated while in his substance abuse prison.

the fatal crash. In that one, he was caught driving drunk and fled, subsequently crashing into a fence and fighting with police before being arrested.

“Our family’s concern is public safety,” said Varinder. “We question how the statutory release should be mandatory rather than assessing each case independently. We aren’t sure if Binning has received the help he needs to address his substance abuse issues and if this is the case, shouldn’t this be a conRavinder Singh cern?”

Binning In August 2013, the Parole Board denied day and full parole to Binning, saying he lacked insight into his crime and still remained a risk to re-offend.

Varinder, who recently completed her PhD dissertation on the language used in describing vehicular crimes, says Binning’s release this week only adds to her family’s ongoing trauma.

“It resurfaces a lot of pain and heartache, but regardless of the length of sentence, this will never reverse the outcome,” she said. “And the heartache has and will reside with us for a lifetime.”

If made to serve his full sentence, Binning would have remained in prison until March next year He is still subject to a 10-year driving ban, about sixand-a-half years of which remain. His release will also be subject to a number of conditions.

Canada is suing the driver of a truck that killed Surrey RCMP Cst. Adrian Oliver two years ago.

The federal Attorney General’s office filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday seeking damages for the replacement of Oliver’s car.

On Nov. 13, 2012, Oliver, 28, was heading

The wreckage of RCMP Cst. Adrian Oliver’s police car two years ago. west on 64 Avenue near 148 Street in an unmarked police car while looking for a stolen truck. He was not using his lights and siren at the time.

Harjit Singh Lotay was heading east on 64 Avenue. According the Nov. 10 statement of claim, Lotay “negligently” attempted to turn left onto 148 Street, causing his 2006 Freightliner to collide with Oliver’s

police car.

Oliver was killed in the crash.

“As a further consequence of the collision, the RCMP vehicle suffered extensive damage and was rendered non-repairable,” the statement of claim states. “The Government of Canada has suffered the loss of use of the RCMP vehicle, special damages relating to the loss of the RCMP vehicle, and ex-

penses relating to the fitting up a new vehicle for its replacement use for RCMP policing purposes.”

Canada is looking for general and specific damages as well as costs.

None of the allegations made in the statement of claim have been proven in court.

A statement of defense has not yet been filed by Lotay.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Thursday November 13 2014

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Did you attend a Remembrance Day event this year?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you plan to vote in the Nov. 15 civic election?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 85% No 15%

Choose wisely Nov. 15 The Surrey election, to take place on Saturday, is proving to be both hard-fought and pivotal.

While almost all the attention has been focused on the three leading contenders for mayor, the person who wins that seat will still only have one vote on council. If the winning candidate can command a majority of votes on most issues, then she or he or can set an agenda. That may not happen.

Coun. Linda Hepner, running to replace Dianne Watts with the mayor’s Surrey First group, is running with eight candidates for council.

Coun. Barinder Rasode, a former Surrey First councillor who has formed a new organization, One Surrey, is running with seven candidates for council.

Former mayor Doug McCallum is running with Safe Surrey, and he has four council candidates running with him. If he is to win Saturday, he would need all four to win to command a majority on council and have control of his agenda.

What seems quite likely is that the new Surrey council will contain a mix of councillors who are running with all three slates, and perhaps on their own. Each slate is putting forward wellknown individuals, some with familiar names, and all with levels of support from various sectors of the community.

There are also some other candidates – a total of 35 for the eight councillor positions. That means that 15 of those running are not part of the three slates running with the mayoral candidates.

Among the other candidates are Brenda Locke, a former Liberal MLA and federal Liberal candidate. She and former council candidate Stephen Gammer have formed Team Surrey. Cliff Blair, a former Progressive Conservative federal candidate, is running as an independent.

So are past candidates Jim McMurtry and Gary Hoffman.

There are many new candidates, and each has something to contribute. Surrey has published a voter’s guide with short biographies.

Much more information about candidates, including videos, is available on the city’s website at surrey.ca/elections. There is also the opportunity to communicate directly with candidates and ask questions via email on that site.

There are also 23 candidates for the six Surrey seats on the Surrey Board of Education. Six, including current chair Shawn Wilson, are with Surrey First Education, and incumbent trustee Charlene Dobie, the lone elected official who was part of

the now-dormant Surrey Civic Coalition in 2011, is seeking re-election.

Many people hesitate to vote because of the complexity of researching all the candidates.

There is no requirement to vote for eight councillors or six trustees. Voters can vote for just one if they choose, and their votes will count. In fact, those votes are more powerful as they do not end up adding more support to another candidate who may not be as highly rated with that particular voter.

Surrey is a pioneer in using a database to track voters on election day, and eliminate mountains of paper. The system used in 2011 is so successful that Burnaby and Vancouver are using it this year for the first time.

There are 322,079 eligible voters in Surrey – a huge number. Reaching them is an impossible challenge, but with a little effort, potential voters can do their part Saturday to select the new council and board of education members.

This time, they will serve fouryear terms, so it is even more important to choose wisely.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign GUEST VIEW ▼

Nick Greenizan

This election might be the death of me.

I don’t mean from a professional point of view – while covering elections as a reporter can sometimes be a gruelling chore.

But I mean it might literally kill me.

My morning commute is a relative short one, anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes, to my office in South Surrey.

Much of my travel is done through rural neighbourhoods, but even the sparsely populated communities of the Lower Mainland haven’t been immune to election signs.

A lot of them.

There’s one particular intersection on my route where I need to make a righthand turn. Often this is done on a red light. So every morning I roll up to the intersection, come to a brief stop and look to the left for oncoming traffic.

When it’s clear, you go. Simple, right?

In theory, sure, but the task is made ever more difficult – not to mention dangerous – when a massive 10-foot-wide sign is blocking the view of oncoming traffic.

Look, politician (who shall remain nameless), I enjoy your smiling mug greeting me every morning as much as the next person, but I’d much rather get to work in one piece.

The intersection in question is far from the only spot I’ve seen curiously placed signs during election season, of course.

There are plenty of examples.

And I realize that safe placement of signs is probably low on campaign volunteers’ priority list when there are thousands upon thousands to plant before Nov. 15. But there must be a better system out there somewhere.

I have never understood sign saturation as an election strategy. Does anyone believe it works? Has anyone actually been swayed to vote a certain way simply because of a sign (or 200) they happened to see?

I’m not necessarily suggesting we do away with them completely. Want to plant a sign every few blocks or in high-traffic areas? Go for it.

Are you a business owner or private resident who wants to show support for a particular candidate with a sign on your own property? I’m fine with that, too.

But post 1,000 small signs – each a mere six inches from one another – along a median on the same stretch of road, and that’s where I draw the line. If I saw the first sign, assume that I didn’t pay

attention to the 999 identical ones that followed.

You know what candidate would win my vote? The one who comes out and says that he or she doesn’t believe in bombarding the community with election signs and will instead focus on alternative ways to have their name and message recognized – such as an online campaign through social media; a slick website; and knocking on doors and meeting people.

Because if the only time I see your name is when it’s printed on a sign that’s coming through my windshield after a car crash, I’m probably going to vote for somebody else.

Excellent candidates in all slates ▼ DO YOUR RESEARCH AND MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AT THE POLLS

Surrey is on the verge of a historical election. After decades of the same people with the same agenda in power, Surrey has an opportunity to elect some fresh faces with new ideas and enthusiasm. We have a chance to make Surrey a better place for all whether rich or poor.

I have lived and worked in Surrey for over 20 years.

I have witnessed Surrey suffer from a poorly planned proliferation of housing and new subdivisions, including those with secondary suites, rampant increase in crime, inadequate public transportation, lack of parks and green space, and an influx of social problems such as homelessness, addictions, and mental illness.

▼ SURREY NEEDS IMPROVEMENT IN VARIOUS KEY AREAS

Don’t know who to vote for in this election? Not surprising considering the huge list of candidates.

No need to worry. There are excellent progressive candidates running for all three political slates whether One Surrey, Safe Surrey Coalition, or Surrey First.

There are excellent independent candidates as well.

I have reviewed all the bios on the City of Surrey elections website and I encourage you all to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

In the past it could be argued that elections were basically bought and paid for by the developers in Surrey.

It would be interesting to see how many times incumbents who are running again actually voted against their donors? That’s what I mean when I say do your research.

The citizens of Surrey have an opportunity to elect candidates who will put the best interests of the residents and people first. Wow – can you imagine? Let’s make it happen.

Surrey Citizen Leaders is an ad-hoc group of over 50 of Surrey’s most involved citizens. These are people who are working to improve their communities and their city for the benefit of all.

They volunteer countless hours of their time to their community associations and environmental, social and charitable groups. These are the “feet on the street” that see firsthand the impact of city policies on their neighbourhoods. These are not folks that are running for political office or have any financial or power to gain.

This group is collectively concerned regarding the state of our city. These concerns include crime, bylaw enforcement, the environment, tree preservation and the destruction of green space, the pace and quality of development, the lack of infrastructure, transportation, the lack of social support and the community consultation process. Surrey needs to improve in all these areas.

We’ve suggested that citizens make informed decisions and select candidates that pledge to remedy these issues. Citizens can go on-line for some of this information, but attending candidate debates where you can see candidates perform firsthand is critical.

Unfortunately, attendance by some candidates at these debates has been poor. Take the recent Rotary sponsored debate in South Surrey. Of the One Surrey and Safe Surrey Coalition slates, only one candidate was missing, nearly all independent mayoral and council candidates were present. But Surrey First was missing Linda Hepner and four of their incumbent councillors.

The citizens of Surrey deserve the opportunity to hear and see those who choose to run for office.

▼ IMAGINE THAT – A TRAIN BENEATH YOUR FEET Most railways follow lakes and rivers because the shoreline is relatively flat and much cheaper to build on. It is also scenic.

If you have not noticed, our trains are getting longer and longer, and the wait is also getting longer and longer for them to clear the crossings.

Holding up the building of new pipelines is aggravating this problem. Oil and gas is safer in pipelines than in railway cars. There is no solution to re-locating a railway to a new location if said location creates a new problem in the future.

We need a permanent solution to this problem. Some crossings allow trains to go under or over the road crossings.

We need more of them. We need a solution to the White Rock beach railway crossing that has a reasonable chance of being accepted and would be a permanent solution. The cost, and who will pay for it, is also an issue.

There is no perfect solution to this problem. There are compromises such as a trestle over the shoreline or breakwater barrier that would compromise the view and possibly lower property values.

A better, but not perfect solution, would be to channel and cover the train tracks along part of the existing train route. Imagine that – a train beneath your feet. This would allow the beach-goers free access to the beach and totally eliminate future railroad kill. This would not only be an affordable solution. It would be a permanent solution. It is a public relations solution that the railroad company will most likely accept.

▼ DON’T BE FOOLED BY CONSERVATIVES’ STANCE ON VETERANS Ordinary Canadians certainly did themselves proud this Remembrance Day by showing their heartfelt appreciation for our men and women in uniform.

Prime Minister Harper was compelled to be at the National War Memorial in Ottawa because his political strategists want us to forget his government has been nickel-and-diming veterans for years.

Harper’s spin doctors would also like us to ignore the fact that more Canadian military and ex-military personnel have committed suicide on his watch than died in the Afghanistan War. Dead veterans deserve our respect; living veterans deserve our respect and assistance.

Do not be misled by the Conservatives cleverly crafted propaganda and their crass campaign goodies.

Mister Harper’s government should be judged on its record.

Cloverdale Tory candidate picked ▶ DEAN DRYSDALE WINS FEDERAL CONSERVATIVE NOMINATION FRANK BUCHOLTZ

Former Langley Township councillor Dean Drysdale is the Conservative candidate in the new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.

Drysdale, who served on council from 1996 to 2002, won on the

third ballot over Mike Garisto of Cloverdale. Former Liberal MLA Dave Hayer was forced off the ballot after the second round, while Tako van Popta had to withdraw after the first round.

Voting took place at A.J. McLellan Elementary in Cloverdale on Saturday.

Drysdale has run federally before, representing the Canadian Alliance in the Quebec riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges in 2000. He was asked to run in that riding

came out.

There are several reasons for an increase like that, according to SFU political professor Patrick Smith.

Firstly, it’s become much easier to vote at advanced polls and cities are doing a better job of letting people know they can use the opportunity.

In addition, in Surrey, there are three well-oiled machines behind mayoral candidates Doug McCallum, Barinder Rasode and Linda Hepner, cranking up their get-outthe-vote campaigns and bumping up the early voting numbers significantly.

However, Smith said the 84-per-cent increase in voter

turnout is a “noticeable” jump and probably indicates there will be a large voter turnout on election day (Nov. 15).

Where are the new votes coming from?

Smith said it’s not easy to say, but one possibility is that Rasode’s One Surrey team is being successful in getting the youth vote out.

If that’s the case, the large number of undecided voters that remain may work well for Rasode.

There’s also the possibility that the large number of the undecided may walk into the voting booth and be resistant to change, meaning a vote for Surrey First, which currently dominates city council.

‘These people will not stop until they’re caught’ ▶ POLICE SEEK HELP IDENTIFYING GAS STATION AND STORE ROBBERY SUSPECTS ALEX BROWNE

A rash of gas station and convenience-store robberies throughout Surrey since Sept. 24 is prompting police to ask for the public’s help to identify suspects before the crimes can escalate into potentially violent situations.

“It’s only a matter of time before we’re dealing with a larger crime instead of a theft,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet warned Thursday.

Paquet noted the robberies – which have struck most areas of the city – have typically taken place in the 3-6 a.m. time period and the robbers have primarily focused on cigarettes and other tobacco products.

Similarity of the crimes leads police to believe the same two people are responsible for all of them – in the majority of cases, the robbers have backed a stolen Dodge Caravan into the businesses’ locked front doors to break them open.

A media release describes the suspects as 5’9” to 6’2” white males weighing 180 to 200 lbs.

Paquet said that while no store employees have been harmed thus far, physical intimidation and threats of violence have been used – and in one instance one of

the robbers brandished a knife.

“These are property crimes right now and nobody has been hurt,” Paquet said. “But these people will not stop until they’re caught.

We’re trying to do that before someone gets hurt.”

Paquet said that while the thieves have sometimes helped themselves to other items including lottery tickets, “we believe tobacco products are the motivation behind the robberies.”

And that, in itself, gives additional hope of catching up with the suspects, he added – as well as forensic and surveillance evidence and witness descriptions police have already gathered.

“We’re sure that there is someone out there with information who has not spoken with us yet,” he said.

“Based on the quantity of cigarettes being taken, we believe they’re being sold to an unidentified commercial buyer who is reselling them,” Paquet said.

“We need to hear from anyone who knows about this illegal trade. It’s possible that someone does not know about the high risks involved in these robberies.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or online at www. solvecrime.ca

Ride-sharing app Uber matches passengers to drivers and takes a 20 per cent cut of the fare, which can vary according to demand.

UBER.COM

Uber petition latest volley in move against taxi ‘cartel’ ▶ APP’S MOVE FOLLOWS LAWSUIT, THREAT OF GOVERNMENT FINES JEFF NAGEL

Cab-hiring app Uber has countered a pre-emptive lawsuit against it by taxi companies with a petition urging the province and City of Vancouver to welcome its service.

Launched last Thursday, the petition had more than 14,000 names by Monday and follows a vow from Transportation Minister Todd Stone to use undercover agents to fine Uber drivers if they begin operating in contravention of B.C. law.

In the petition preamble, Uber calls the taxi industry in Metro Vancouver a cartel of “a few rich taxi owners” out to preserve their business instead of serving passengers well.

“While consumers are left stranded, the government continues to protect taxi interests under the guise of maintaining ‘industry health,’” it says.

“With the lowest number of taxis per capita in North America, Vancouver residents and visitors are woefully underserved when it comes to transportation options.”

Critics from the taxi industry

warn Uber would bring unreliable, potentially substandard service using questionable drivers and cars.

Uber argues it’s a technology, not a conventional taxi service, and should not be subject to the same rules.

The U.S. firm invites private vehicle owners to sign up and takes a 20 per cent cut of fares. Customers use a smartphone app to book rides and pay fares without cash changing hands.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the taxi industry’s alarm is understandable – taxi licences worth up to $1 million in the Vancouver area would become nearly worthless if a flood of Uber drivers take over the market.

But he said passengers would enjoy cheaper fares and a service that’s “much better” because of the convenience of the app.

Passengers need not know where they are to book a ride with Uber, which finds their location via GPS and matches them with available drivers.

The taxi industry is meanwhile aiming to launch its own app as early as February to provide similar features on behalf of all companies in the Lower Mainland, B.C. Taxi Association spokesman Mohan Kang said.

Municipalities are so far siding with taxi firms against Uber in part because of the money they collect from cab licence fees, SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said.

But he said the issue boils down to protection of a long-running monopoly and predicts Uber would not have found such fertile ground here had taxis not been notorious for long waits and reluctance to make some trips.

“Try to catch a cab at 2 a.m. to get back to Surrey,” Meredith said. “Most of the cabs don’t want to do that because of the empty backhaul.”

He noted one facet of Uber’s model is variable pricing, which can mean very high “surge” rates at peak demand times and lower fares at other times.

That aims to attract more drivers when they’re needed and match supply to demand.

“Uber’s pricing system is much closer to a free market pricing structure,” Meredith said. “If they’re able to elbow their way in here they will start driving down the prices and that strikes fear into the hearts of taxi companies.”

Uber operates in more than 220 cities and has been advertising on Facebook for drivers in B.C.

▶ LEAVE IT TO CLEAVAGE COMES TO THE SURREY ARTS CENTRE ON FRIDAY BLACK PRESS

Leave it to Cleavage contains an abundance of ’50s perkiness.

Want to know how to make your marriage last? Cook a roast? Keep your neighbour off your lawn?

Find out in Leave it to Cleavage, a play a the Surrey Arts Centre this Saturday at 8 p.m.

In Leave it to Cleavage, three ridiculously perky ’50s housewives (hampered only slightly by their sullen Russian maid) aim to instill the virtues of the good ol’ days, with the audience joining in as though they were guests at a giant dinner party.

These delightful homemakers cook up an uproarious interactive evening, including a second-act battle of the sexes to determine who really wears the pants in the family – with the winner taking home a can of Spam.

At the end of the day, there’s no problem that can’t be solved with some good old-fashioned common sense, matching satin party dresses… and a martini.

Leave it to Cleavage stars Diana Frances, Ellie Harvie, Denise Jones and Christine Lippa. The show contains adult material and situations, and may not be appropriate for all audiences.

It’s a Rock.Paper.Scissors production.

Tickets are $25, including all fees. Call 604-501-5566 or visit https://tickets.surrey.ca The Surrey Arts Centre is located at 13750 88 Ave.

It sounds like an event â–ś SOUND THINKING SYMPOSIUM ON NOV. 15 AT THE SURREY ART GALLERY BLACK PRESS

Can mushrooms make music? What sound does a bog or a canyon make?

The Surrey Art Gallery invites you to explore these questions and more with musicians, sound artists, and researchers at its annual Sound Thinking symposium Conversations in the Field: Sound, Ecology, and Reciprocity on Nov. 15 from 12-5 p.m.

The event includes a panel discussion, refreshments and a live performance.

Admission is free.

The key speaker and panelists represent a rich diversity of artists who are using sound to actively participate in a “conversation� within their multiple areas of interest. Avant-garde composer David Dunn is the keynote speaker who is a pioneer of “environmental music.� In 1973, he travelled with three trumpet players to the Grand Canyon where they improvised with the spatial acoustics of rock formations and animals in the Canyon.

Dunn lives in Sante Fe, New Mexico where he is the current director of the Art and Science Laboratory.

Panelists include Stephanie Loveless, Matt Smith, and Paul Walde who are all Open

Sound 2014 exhibiting artists. Paul Walde’s piece Mycolophonia is the latest installation to go up at the Surrey Art Gallery, inspired by the work of the American composer and amateur mushroom enthusiast John Cage.

This recording of mushroom spores as they are released into the air invites the listener to contemplate the relationship between music and mushrooms.

Matt Smith’s BogScape is a “naturalistic� installation that generates sound from weather data gathering systems located in or near Burns Bog. Stephanie Loveless’s quadraphonic sound installation Cricket, Tree, Crow uses voice to investigate the communication of insect, plant, and animal worlds.

These artists will be joined by Jenni Schine, an award-winning researcher, sound artist, and communication specialist whose ethnographic work explores the aural and oral heritage of British Columbia’s coastal communities. She will be discussing the Broughton Archipelago Sound Retreat project.

This event also features a performance by the Experimental Music Unit comprised of Tina Pearson, George Tzanetakis, and Paul Walde. Gabriel Mindel Saloman and Jordan Strom are the co-conveners.

Founded in

2008, Surrey Art Gallery’s Sound Thinking symposium is an annual one-day event which brings together practitioners and professionals in the field of sound art.

The symposium features leading sound artists, scholars, and researchers in the field of sound studies, along with visual artists who use sound as key components of their practice and musicians who experiment with the limits of music and sound.

Sound Thinking is part of Surrey Art

Gallery’s Open Sound program, developed in 2008 to support the production and presentation of audio art forms as part of contemporary art practice.

Open Sound 2014: Sonorous Kingdom is a series of sound art installations that examine the relationship between vegetation and sound.

Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. For more information, call 604-501-5566 or visit www.surrey.ca/ artgallery

“A fun fair of this size is unheard of in North America,” said Silvan McCalla, director of communications and co-founder of Jump Around Days. “Our focus is to give the schools in our backyard (the Greater Vancouver area) something to really look forward to.

“By injecting energy into the school system and implementing school campaigns designed not only to excite the students and staff, but to give the schools what they need and to show the schools increased value is what we pursue day in and out.”

▶ HAIL TO THE FIRE CHIEF Delta ‘Fire Chief for the Day’ Arianna Ralph, 9, gets a tour of the Wildland Light attack unit fire truck from Delta Fire Chief Dan Copeland last Friday morning.

The Richardson Elementary student’s day included a tour of the fire hall and breakfast at McDonald’s with the local firefighters and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson.

Highway 99 impact of shift in ferries shifts alarmed mayors ▶ NOW-SCRAPPED PROPOSAL FANNED TRAFFIC FEARS IN DELTA AND RICHMOND JEFF NAGEL

Mayors in Delta and Richmond were among those strongly warning the province against a now-scrapped BC Ferries idea to eliminate car ferry service out of Horseshoe Bay and send all those vehicles through Tsawwassen instead.

Less than a day after confirming it was an option,

Transportation Minister Todd Stone on Wednesday ruled out a potential end to the Horsehoe Bay-Nanaimo run.

Forcing those vehicles to instead take the underused Duke Point-Tsawwassen route would have added significantly to travel times to and from Vancouver but would have reduced BC Ferries costs, in part by avoiding major upgrades at the Horseshoe Bay terminal.

Speaking prior to Stone’s reversal, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie warned it would have meant “much worse” traffic congestion on

Highway 99 south of Vancouver, through Richmond.

“To put even more traffic on Highway 99 without a plan as to how to decongest that corridor, I don’t think makes a lot of sense,” he said.

Stone had said the recent completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road would help carry ferry traffic under that scenario.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she is “absolutely delighted” that the provincial government heard the loud criticism of the concept and quickly “turned on a dime.”

That’s one of the recommendations from the Business Council of B.C. in a white paper

plan to toll a rebuilt Pattullo Bridge in the years ahead may force reform of the current practice of only tolling new or replacement crossings as they are built.

“The imposition of a third toll for a Fraser River crossing may be problematic and would exacerbate concerns over intra‐regional equity with respect to the user‐pay principle for transportation services,” the report says.

“This makes it more urgent to look to longer‐term and more equitable solutions to tolling and road‐use fees as a tool to finance transit and manage road volumes across the region.”

Transportation Minister Todd Stone pledged a review of the province’s tolling policy a year ago but has yet to act.

The province is also designing a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. Stone hasn’t yet spelled out how he would seek public consent to toll that crossing.

Metro Vancouver mayors want to

eventually adopt road pricing, which could involve per kilometre fees on major routes rather than just tolls at bridges.

They argue such a system could not only help fund TransLink but allow time-of-day pricing to encourage some drivers to travel at off-peak times and make the entire road system more efficient.

The Business Council of B.C. paper also endorses greater use of “peak-pricing models” – including municipal water metering – but it suggests interim bridge tolling reform may be wiser than pursuit of full road pricing.

“While road pricing may be the most comprehensive approach to demand management, starting with an expanded tolling network (based on low toll charges) across the region may be more manageable and politically achievable,” said the report, which is titled Building B.C. for the 21st Century.

It says the province should reconsider its policy that bans new tolls when a free alter-

native is unavailable.

Both the public transit and road systems are heavily congested in Metro and need more upgrades, the paper says, noting an expected Lower Mainland population increase of 800,000 by 2031.

It says the most pressing expansion needs are in Surrey and Langley, while also noting intense transit pressure on Vancouver’s Broadway corridor.

Although billions of dollars have gone into port-related gateway infrastructure in recent years, more is needed on that front as well, the report said, adding much funding should come from the federal government, which has more taxation capability than the province.

Gateway priorities include twinning the old railway bridges over the Fraser River at New Westminster and at the Second Narrows.

The report also projects steady growth in container handling will put more pressure on truck routes.

The Surrey School District is the largest school district in B.C. and is growing by approximately 800 students per year, according to the B.C. Ministry of Education.

With 83 per cent of those students completing high school, are graduates of the Surrey school system opting for a post-secondary education, entering the work force, or throwing on a backpack and exploring the world?

Program Manager at WorkBC Employment Services Centre, Cheryl Scardifield, says that typically she sees youth who are seeking work in construction or tech jobs, including those in gaming and graphic design.

Looking ahead, she anticipates trades, health care, community service, business and technology will be the prevalent employment choices for youth.

The Surrey Board of Education aims to provide many opportunities to support high-quality programs that encourage students to explore a variety of careers.

This includes career programs and courses, dual credit and work experience, a variety of programs through Learning Centres, and several specialty programs including RCMP youth academies, culinary arts competitions, Air Cadet work experience and women in trades programs.

Grade 12 student Gazala Bikhan wants to attend UBC and become a pharmacist for similar reasons.

“I have chosen to go to university right after high school because I do not want to put it off and get lazy later on,” she says.

Wylee Fitz-Gerald, the Frank Hurt Secondary student who was part of the Students on Ice Arctic Expedition (Ottawa to Greenland) for 15 days this past summer, plans on exploring her schooling options locally, across Canada and internationally.

“I am going to work for the summer at a fishing lodge up north in order to raise more funds for university,” she says. “Then in the fall, I am hoping to go to BCIT to take the technology teacher education program or another degree in the trades.

“My ideal occupation would be a high school carpentry teacher, because it feels homey to me and I take inspiration from my current teacher. There are many positions opening up as current technology teachers are retiring, so as long as I keep good grades, I expect to be able to find a job easily.”

Meanwhile, soonto-be graduates like Jasdeep Dhanjal and Kamalpreet Mann plan to enrol in post-secondary school right away.

“I plan on attending Kwantlen, SFU or UBC to study medical science,” says Dhanjal, who ultimately wants to become a toxicologist. “I choose to continue studying because I love science, especially biology. I want to use what I learn to help others and help the world.”

For Mann, he is also inspired to help people, and plans to attend UBC to become a physiotherapist.

Enterovirus D68 case tally jumps to 150 in B.C. ▶ MOST PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED WITH RESPIRATORY ILLNESS ARE CHILDREN JEFF NAGEL

Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months of age, seniors 65 and older, and people with chronic health conditions. LEADER FILE

The total number of lab-confirmed cases of enterovirus-D68 has jumped again to 150.

The B.C. Centre For Disease Control released new statistics as of Nov. 5 on the virus that has been causing severe respiratory illness, particularly in children and teenagers.

Around 30 new cases

are being detected each week, public health officials say.

There was one death in October of a 25-year-old Lower Mainland man with enterovirus D68 who also suffered from asthma. His was the first death in Canada linked to the virus.

BCCDC officials are still unsure to what extent the enterovirus infection caused or contributed to that death or to three other cases of neurological illness in other B.C. patients with who have contracted the virus since August.

far are children under 10 years old and 57 per cent are male.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), has said the number of lab-confirmed cases reflect the most ill patients who have been hospitalized, while many more people likely have the virus but have experienced only minor symptoms.

Enterovirus D68 can seem like a cold, but the virus may cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in severe cases, especially children with asthma, and has been linked to temporary paralysis in rare cases.

The virus isn’t new – variants circulate each year and there have been outbreaks before.

There’s no vaccine for it so officials stress hand washing and cleaning surfaces to prevent its spread.

Flu striking early Regular flu season is striking earlier than usual, the BCCDC says, noting there have been seven influenza

outbreaks so far at B.C. long-term care facilities.

Fraser Health says flu vaccination shots are now available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and public health flu clinics. (Find locations at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot) Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, seniors age 65 and up, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems.

People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot.

Children have the option of getting the Flumist nasal spray instead of the shot.

An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined.

SMH: The Ebola go-to place ▶ HOSPITAL WILL SERVE VANCOUVER COASTAL, NOT JUST FRASER REGION JEFF NAGEL

Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) will be the destination for any suspected Ebola patients across the Lower Mainland, including those initially assessed at hospitals in the Vancouver Coastal health region.

SMH had already been designated the Ebola referral centre for the Fraser Health region.

But Health Minister Terry Lake said it will also serve Vancouver Coastal, which had not yet designated a referral centre.

Other B.C. hospitals that are now designated to isolate suspect Ebola patients awaiting testing and treatment are Royal Jubilee Hospital for Vancouver Island, Kelowna General for Interior Health, University Hospital of Northern B.C. in Prince George for the North, while children would go to B.C. Children’s Hospital.

“These sites will be the focus of training for staff on the protocols for health care workers who would be engaged with a confirmed patient or a patient under investigation,” Lake said in a statement.

Emergency room and front-line staff at all other hospitals are also being trained on procedures to isolate and handle any patient that arrives with symptoms and a travel history that could indicate Ebola.

Patients initially identified at any hospital get further screening in an isolation room to determine if they can be ruled out as a suspect patient, otherwise they are sent to the referral hospital to await testing.

SMH is “ideal” to serve the entire Lower Mainland because its new critical care tower includes a high-acuity unit with advanced infection controls, lab and micriobiology capabilities, a health ministry spokesperson said, adding the decision came after extensive discussions with public health

officials and health administrators.

Lake said guidelines are also being revised for personal protective equipment for health care workers who assess or treat patients who may have Ebola.

“Staff will be fully covered, with no skin showing,” he said. “Equipment will include full body suits, long, fully impervious gowns, separate level 4 hoods, face shields, surgical masks and N95 respirator masks.”

The fit-tested N95 masks were demanded by the B.C. Nurses

Union after a Fraser Health official previously said they were not necessary.

A buddy system is also mandated to ensure proper donning and doffing of protective gear.

“The risk remains very low, but our vigilance remains high,” Lake said.

A task force struck by the province is conferring frequently with various organizations and unions that represent or regulate health care workers to field questions and concerns.

Call for nominations 2015 Vancity Board of Directors’ Election

The Nominations and Election Committee is seeking Vancity members to fill three director positions in the 2015 election. Each position is for a three-year term, commencing after the Annual General Meeting on Thursday, May 7, 2015.

Prospective candidates are strongly advised to attend an information session which will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at Vancity Centre, 183 Terminal Avenue, Vancouver. Please contact the Governance Department by no later than 12 noon, Tuesday, December 2, 2014 to register for this session.

Prospective candidates are required to submit confirmation of their intention to run by no later than 12 noon on Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Interviews will be scheduled shortly thereafter.

TransUnion, for use in calculating your credit score, which typically ranges from 400 to 900.

A score above 600 is considered good, while 750 or more is excellent (to learn your credit score, visit www. equifax.ca or www. transunion.ca). A good credit score is also important because it may qualify you for a better rate on your mortgage.

You can afford a mortgage In layperson’s terms, affordability means you have sufficient funds to make your minimum monthly mortgage payments.

Lenders, however, use a couple of technical measures to determine affordability.

One is your gross debt service (GDS) ratio, which is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes towards housing costs (mortgage payments, property taxes, all or a portion of strata fees and heating).

Your GDS needs to be 32 per cent or lower.

The other measure

is your total debt service (TDS) ratio, the percentage of your gross monthly income needed to meet all your debt obligations (housing, credit cards, and other loans).

The magic number here is 40 per cent or less.

If you’re not a math genius, don’t worry, there are online mortgage calculators that simplify these calculations and help you ballpark what you can afford (you may need to estimate some of the required numbers).

For a good mortgage affordability calculator, visit www.coastcapitalsavings.com/Personal/ Borrowing/Mortgages.

You have steady income To qualify for a mortgage, lenders expect you to have a steady job with a stable flow of income.

Although you’re not expected to be able to predict the future, a good candidate will have some measure of job security, which means if your work is sporadic or temporary,

this may not be the right time for a mortgage.

A steady income does not mean your monthly pay is the same each month – self-employed individuals, for example, often see fluctuations. Regardless, when your annual income is averaged out, it should show that you have reliable earnings to support mortgage payments.

You have a minimum five per cent down payment This is the least amount of down payment required for homes costing less than $1 million and one of the biggest challenges faced by first-time homebuyers, so congratulations if you’ve saved the needed funds.

Although five per cent meets the minimum threshold, any amount less than 20 per cent will require that you purchase mortgage default insurance, which will increase your mortgage

debt.

Unlike insured high-ratio mortgages (where the homeowner has a down payment of less than 20 per cent), conventional mortgages with a down payment of 20 per cent or more do not require this insurance.

As a rule, the larger your down payment, the better, because the extra payment upfront will reduce your interest costs over the long term.

You have finances for “hidden costs” Have you factored legal fees, insurance, inspection, taxes, and other miscellaneous additional costs into your calculations? If so, you are thinking like a future homeowner. Many first-time home buyers can be blindsided by these less-obvious costs of home ownership, focusing primarily on the mortgage itself.

Important costs you need to be prepared for include GST for new or substantially renovated homes, lawyer’s fees to transfer the property, appraisal costs (to determine the home’s value), inspection charges (to identify any red flags), and costs for any repairs or renovations you may wish to make.

You will also need to pay the property transfer tax, although firsttime home buyers may be exempt from part or all of the tax under certain conditions.

If you are moving from renting to owning, maintenance costs now fall to you so it’s advisable to set aside regular savings for this.

Last, but not least, you will need to account for insurance costs.

If you believe, after reading this article, that you meet the requirements described, you may be ready for the next step, which is having a chat with your financial institution.

Ultimately, your credit union or bank will decide if you qualify for a mortgage, based on a comprehensive review of your financial situation, but these indicators can help with your initial self-evaluation.

RCMP tightens volunteer security after Ottawa attack ▶ POLICE OFFICERS IN RED SERGE WILL ALSO NOW BE ARMED DUE TO POLICY CHANGE

That has changed and those officers will now

GREAT GEAR to CONQUER the COLD

JEFF NAGEL

Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliary constables who volunteer unarmed in the community.

The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to Assistant Commissioner Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland District Commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said, referring to the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill.

He predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals.

“It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.”

Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential threats and other factors.

Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of offices on duty to respond to other calls, but added policing costs will likely rise for some festivals.

That prospect has alarmed Coquitlam city council, which voted to write to RCMP national headquarters to protest the change.

The letter warns the new policy directive threatens cost-effective policing and will impact a broad range of community programs in schools and parks that are staffed

by Coquitlam’s 49 auxiliaries.

“Such a change will also have a significant

scheduled duties.”

More than 1,100 auxiliaries assist with policing across B.C. and Malo said it’s appropriate to be more careful than in the past, depending on the circumstances.

“I consider them community heroes,”

Malo said. “They’re volunteers who volunteer hundreds if not thousands of hours to wear an RCMP uniform and serve their community.

We have to make sure these local heroes are protected.”

akata Corporation is a Japanese based automotive parts company with production facilities on four continents. Founded in 1933 in Shiga Japan, in the early 1950s it began developing car seat belts then child restraint systems and, by 1988, airbags.

As of 2014, Takata airbags are in 20 percent of the vehicles manufactured worldwide by many of the major automotive manufacturers. Recently, the history of Takata airbags has been expanded

by The New York Times newspaper (http://www. nytimes.com/2014/09/12/business/air-bag-flawlong-known-led-to-recalls.html?_r=1) to include a series of interconnected timelines involving a number of its automotive manufacturer customers and US federal regulatory investigators.

The “Honda” timeline, for example, as related by the above newspaper: (Note – these reports suggesting malfunction appear to be allegations and not facts established by a court of law.)

2004 – “An air bag exploded in a Honda Accord … in Alabama, shooting out metal fragments and injuring the car’s driver. … Honda and …

[Takata] deemed it “an anomaly” and did not issue a recall or seek the involvement of federal safety regulators.”

2007 – “Three additional ruptures [of Takata airbags were] reported to Honda ... Honda settled [each of these but] … did not issue a safety recall until late 2008, and then for only a small fraction – about 4,200 – of its vehicles…

April 2009 – “An air bag in J G’s Honda Civic, which was not among the recalled vehicles, exploded after a minor accident in Orlando, Fla.

The air bag explosion sent a two-inch piece of shrapnel flying. When highway troopers found Ms. G, then 26, with blood gushing from a gash in her neck, they were baffled by the extent of her injuries. At Honda, engineers soon linked the accident to the previous ruptures.”

May 2009 – “A P , 18, was killed in Midwest City, Okla., when the air bag in her 2001 Honda Accord exploded out of her steering wheel after a minor crash. … Honda filed only the required early warning reports on these incidents, which do not allow for specifics about the ruptures.”

November 2009 – “Honda’s air bag problems caught the attention of federal regulators, …

But the agency closed its inquiry after only six months, saying there was “insufficient information” to suggest [failure] to take timely action.

December 2009 – “A Honda Accord driven by G R, 33, hit a mail truck in Richmond, Va. Her air bag exploded, propelling shrapnel into her neck and chest, and she bled to death in front of her three children…”

April 2010 – “…A 2001 Honda Civic driven by 24-year-old K W exploded as she was stopped at a traffic light in Morrow, Ga. Metal shards punctured her neck, causing profuse bleeding, strokes and seizures… .”

December 2011 – “Honda reported its death and injury tallies to regulators only in a confidential submission … when it issued its fifth recall for the rupture defect.

June 2014 – “A low-speed accident involving a 2005 Honda Accord in Los Angeles caused the car’s driver air bag “to ‘detonate,’ sending hot metal and plastic shrapnel into the cabin…

Honda has since expanded its recall to include vehicles registered in California.”

The truth of the matter regarding malfunction remains to be seen. Anyone who remembers the “runaway Audi” hysteria may remain cautious. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

GVHBA prepares for annual Coats for Kids campaign The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is preparing for its 19th-annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose many initiatives help to provide

a brighter Christmas for families in need. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for

distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Coats for Kids has become an institution of the association.

▶ BASKETBALL SQUADS LOSE TWO EACH IN NORTH VANCOUVER, SQUAMISH

A pair of losses for KPU teams RICK KUPCHUK

After opening their PACWEST (Pacific Western Athletic Conference) season with wins on the road, the Kwantlen Polytechnic (KPU) Eagles men’s and women’s basketball teams were each winless in their first two home games of the season on the Surrey campus.

The Eagles lost their men’s games 77-67 Friday night to the Capilano Blues and 76-45 to the Quest Kermodes on Saturday. The women were edged 69-62 by the Blues in North Vancouver, and lost 63-59 to Quest in Squamish.

“We need to learn to do our job completely,” said KPU men’s head coach Vladimir Nikic after his team was outscored by 41 in the two games. “In other words, we need to have everyone play with energy.”

Brendan Bailey paced the Eagles against Capilano, as the first-year guard netted 29 points. Lord Tweedsmuir graduate and first-year forward Nick Smith added 15 points, while forward Trevor Schulz was the top

rebounder with eight.

The Blues led 18-11, 38-26 and 6047 at the quarter-breaks.

KPU fell behind early and never recovered against the Kermodes, trailing 17-6 after one quarter and 29-18 at halftime.

Bailey was again the top scoring threat for the Eagles with 23 points/ Matt Cooley contributed seven points and 10 rebounds.

The weekend started very well for the Eagles women, who scored the first eight points of the game against Capilano and led 13-11 after one quarter. They maintained a two-point advantage at halftime with a 30-28 lead, and went into the final quarter tied 47-47 before the game slipped away.

“I thought we played a competitive game that saw everyone contribute, but we need to do the little things right,” said Eagles head coach Dan Nayebzadeh. “We are competitive and talented but we need to go back to being solid in fundamentals which means stick to what works, stick to our strengths.”

Amber-Lee Kavanagh (right) grabbed 11 rebounds for the KPU Eagles in a 63-59 loss Saturday to the Quest Kermodes. BOAZ JOSEPH Fleetwood Park Secondary graduate Shilpa Khanna was the leading scorer for KPU with 20 points.

Christina Brown, a fourth-year guard from Langley, added 17 points with Amber-Lee Kavanagh netting nine. Samantha McPhail was the top rebounder with seven.

Against the Kermodes, KPU erased a 32-28 halftime deficit to take a 44-42 lead into the final period, but ran into foul trouble and came up four points short.

“Similar to yesterday, we competed for most of the game, but then at times we lost some crucial battles that led to turnovers and points against us,” said

Nayebzadeh after the game. .”We just need to build on our momentum and believe that we can be as good as anybody in this league.”

Khanna again led KPU in scoring with 15 points, followed by Haeley Williams with 12. Kavanagh had 11 rebounds.

With both teams now at 1-2 (won-lost) early in the 21-game season, the Eagles teams will be on the road for a pair of games next weekend against the Langara Falcons (0-3 women, 2-1 men) Friday night in Vancouver and Douglas College Royals (3-0 women, 1-2 men) Saturday in New Westminster.

Road win leads to playoff at home

▶ LORD TWEEDSMUIR DEFEATS KELOWNA, WILL HOST BELMONT BULLDOGS IN CLOVERDALE RICK KUPCHUK

To ensure they played their first playoff game at home, the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers had to travel to the Okanagan to close out their regular season with a win.

The Panthers accomplished their goal Fri-

day night, blanking the Kelowna Owls 28-0 in the Apple Bowl to conclude league play with a 5-2 (won-lost) record and a third-place finish in the Eastern Conference of the BC High School Football Association. They open the 12-team Senior AAA playoffs tomorrow (Friday) at 1:30 p.m. against the Belmont Bulldogs at Cloverdale Athletic.

“It was a pretty clean game for us,” said Panthers head coach Kurt Thornton of the win in Kelowna. “We only turned the ball over once and took two five-yard penalties.

This was a big improvement. Our defence was stellar only allowing Kelowna to gain five first downs the entire game.”

Lord Tweedsmuir rolled up more than 300 yards rushing, with Caleb Abraham carrying the ball 30 times for 230 yards and one touchdown of 30 yards, with Colton Zayshley rushing 10 times for 100 yards with touchdowns runs of 24, 17 and 34 yards.

Brad Mawson led the defence with 10 tackles and three quarterback sacks.

Against the Bulldogs, the Panthers expect

to play a very difficult opponent.

“Belmont presents plenty of challenges to us as they are completely committed to throwing the ball,” said Thornton, noting they threw 57 passes in a game last week.

“Nobody in our conference plays that way so it changes our preparation and will be a new experience for our players.

“I think if they hadn’t run into injury problems, they would have finished higher in the standings. They look better than any sixth place team I have seen in quite a while.”

▶ CURRENT LOSING STREAK HITS EIGHT GAMES FOR BCHL CLUB NICK GREENIZAN

The losses – and the injuries – continue to mount for the Surrey Eagles.

The struggling BC Hockey League team lost twice to the Coquitlam Express on the weekend – 6-3 Friday at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Centre, and 10-5 Saturday in South Surrey – then fell 6-1 at home Monday to the Langley Rivermen to bring their losing streak to eight games.

“We are in a bit of a rough patch here, no question,” said Eagles head coach Blaine Neufeld.

And to make matters worse, the young team is trying to dig themselves out of their current hole with a roster depleted by injuries, including to their starting goaltender, Christian Short.

Short has been out for a week already, with what Neufeld called “an upper-body injury” and he is expected to be out for three or four more weeks, leaving the goaltending duties to 16-year-old rookie Daniel Davidson and Junior B call-up Kurt Russell.

an issue, the first-year coach insisted that team defence as a whole has been subpar.

“We’re allowing teams to very easily come into our (zone) and get good quality shots,” he said.

“We’re giving up Grade-A chances, and when you do that against teams like Penticton or Coquitlam, they’re going to put those chances in the right spot, no matter who is in net.”

Davidson played 34 minutes in Monday’s loss, giving up five goals on 21 shots before being replaced by Russell.

Drapluk had the lone goal for the Eagles, which cut a Langley lead to 2-1 after 20 minutes.

The Rivermen were up 5-1 by the second intermission.

Looking on the bright side, Neufeld did say the aforementioned defensive issues “are definitely solvable” while adding that the current losing streak hasn’t dampened the spirits of his young squad, which is in the Mainland Division basement at 3-13-3 (win-loss-overtime loss) and nine points out of a playoff position.

“Our leadership group is strong. At this point, we really just need someone to take the bull by the horns and continue to lead us out of this (hole).”

Hawks earn three points in Kelowna Local pair honoured ▶ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM ENDS WINLESS STREAK WITH A WIN, TIE AGAINST ROCKETS RICK KUPCHUK

A road trip to the Okanagan seems to have cured what ailed the Valley West Hawks.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League team ended a four-game winless streak by taking three of four points from the Okanagan Rockets, winning 4-3 Saturday and playing to a 3-3 draw Sunday morning in Kelowna.

“These are the most satisfying three points we’re earned this season,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I was very proud of the sacrifice and determination showed this weekend. I don’t think there’s a single player that wasn’t treated by our trainer or was sporting an ice pack at some point.”

The Hawks came from behind for the victory, going into the third period trailing 2-1 to a team battling for first place in the 11-team elite league for 15-17 year-olds.

Valley West, comprised of players from the Surrey, Semiahmoo, Langley and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, tied the game a minute into the final frame on a goal from Wyatt Hicks of Langley.

Nic Tallarico of Surrey made 30 saves in the Valley West goal, including two on breakaways.

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless.

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Everything else just feels slow.

Verdict The average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core.

As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km.

Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda.

You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. However, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also receives top ratings occupant protection in a collision.

Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Honda Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look and a drive in used Acura CSX.

Safety Recalls: 2006 to 2011 Acura CSX: 2006/2007: An ABS wheel speed sensor O-ring seal may allow water to enter the rear wheel bearing and eventually cause damage, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace ABS sensor O-ring seals and rear wheel bearings.

2009: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. The electric power steering module will be replaced under a special extended warranty (coverage of 10 years/240,000 km) for vehicles which experience this condition.

2011: There’s an increased risk of fuel leakage in a roll-over crash due to a potentially faulty Roll-Over Valve (ROV) within the fuel pump module. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump module assembly.

Hard driven to deflate a puncture resistant tire ‘‘

Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush.

Rob Rothwell

’’

The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tire industry study, 84 percent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irreparable. BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact.

High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where they chose to launch their revised KO line of all-terrain tires. Termed “KO2,” the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the off-roading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a longstanding commitment to off-road racing and motorsports – winning the Baja 1000 more than all other tire manufacturers combined – and its advances in tire technology since introducing the first all-terrain tire back in 1976.

The tire manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 percent stronger than the original KO tire, and incorporates an advanced deflection system designed to prevent protruding objects, such as pointy branches, from snagging and splitting the sidewall.

A handful of crusty auto journalists, more used to testing cars rather than tires, ventured to Lake Louise in the Rockies to put the tires through a reality test.

Year End

BF Goodrich supplied a series of off-road exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s, all of which were 20-inch 55-series tires shod upon new Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 pickups. It’s important to note that these weren’t extra-large off-road tires, they were typical replacements.

The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected given their heavy lug-based tread pattern. While likely not as quiet as the original-equipment tires on Chevy’s latest Silverado, their whine was modest and unobtrusive.

Forty minutes after departing the majesty of Lake Louise and its aqua-blue waters, we exited Banff National Park and headed for private testing lands. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every conceivable surface one might face during an off-road excursion.

Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, the putty-like ooze never overwhelmed them. With a little throttle prodding, the tires managed to clear away the earthen oatmeal, finding footing enough to pull 5,500 pounds of truck out of the quagmire with ease. Other testing locales included a rock crawl, steep ascents/descents, and a log pit with sharp upward-pointing knots. The latter reputed for inflicting sudden death on typical trail tires.

Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest part of a typical tire. A truck was parked atop a pointy knot. Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush.

Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados – in other words 80 KO2s – performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks.

Motoring Maui... continued from page 47

Buying a used vehicle?

am (http://www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-of-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered.

It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind.

There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples handin-hand and many modes of transportation intermingling.

Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Streets.â&#x20AC;?

Not every street can be great. They have guidelines.

The visit was all too short and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck in in the back seat of a car?

Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach,
