‘Dead heat’ heading into Surrey’s civic election Saturday
Mayoral vote split three ways: poll Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Three of seven Surrey mayoral candidates are in a dead heat heading into Saturday’s civic election, according to an opinion poll released this week. Insights West released the results of a poll on Monday that shows mayoral contestants Doug McCallum, Linda Hepner and Barinder Rasode in a tightly contested race for
the mayor’s chair. The online poll shows Hepner and McCallum neck-and-neck at 33 per cent, and Rasode just behind at 30 per cent. Twenty-four per cent of voters were listed as 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 impressions 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.” i see page 4
Freezing temperatures
Shelters open early Jeff Nagel Black Press
Several Metro Vancouver cities opened up extreme-weather shelters for the homeless this week in response to the arrival of freezing overnight temperatures. Rebecca Bell, co-ordinator of the Greater Vancouver Shelter Society, said shelters providing extra overnight spaces were opened in Surrey, White Rock, Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Langley and Maple Ridge. “It’s earlier than normal,” she said, but added that cold-weather spaces were opened early last year too, in the first week of November. More than 600 additional spaces can be deployed across the region to meet extra demand during cold weather when local cities issue extreme-weather alerts. Extremeweather sites are often set up in churches or community centres using temporary mats. They provide spaces over and above those available in regular homeless shelters. As of Wednesday night, the extra spaces being offered across the region included 110 out of a maximum 135 in Surrey, 27 out of a maximum of 57 in Burnaby, 25 out of 45 on the North Shore and 10 spaces in White Rock. Last winter, a total of 9,260 stays were recorded at Metro extremeweather shelters.

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.
White Rock In White Rock, an interesting election is shaping up, with 17 seeking six council seats. Two incumbents, Grant Meyer and Bill Lawrence, have joined with former councillors Cliff Annable and Lynne Sinclair and two others to form the White Rock Coalition slate – an unusual development in the community. Incumbents Al Campbell and Helen Fathers are seeking re-election, and former councillor Margaret Woods is seeking office again. Incumbent mayor Wayne Baldwin is being challenged by David Bradshaw. Election night – and the next four years – will be interesting in White Rock. Frank Bucholtz writes Thursdays for the Peace Arch News. He is the editor of the Langley Times.

City of Surrey votes
A lot of agreement about civic solutions Alex Browne Staff Reporter
A majority of councillor and mayoral hopefuls in the running for seats in Surrey turned out to an all-candidates meeting Monday at Rotary Field House, sponsored by Semiahmoo Residents Association. And, by and large, they were singing the same song for about 200 South Surrey residents, in response to eight pre-submitted questions at the meeting, moderated by Surrey Now publisher Gary Hollick. Most agreed density should be kept down, highrises avoided and casinos are out. And they largely spoke as one in endorsing the notion that railway tracks should be gone from the beaches, and that no additional property taxes should go to TransLink. The only major division appeared to be in the philosophy of reducing crime, with some candidates favouring adding more police as a main solution, and others arguing for crime-reduction strategies through social programs. Mayoral candidates present were Doug McCallum (Safe Surrey Coalition), Barinder Rasode (One Surrey) and independents John

Surrey residents attend meeting. Edwards, Grant Rice and John Wolanski. Linda Hepner (Surrey First) did not attend. Councillor hopefuls present included One Surrey’s Maz Artang, Merv Bayda, Mike Bose, Darlene Bowyer, Kal Dosanjh and Brian Young; Safe Surrey’s Justin Thind, Laurie Guerra, Beau Simpson and Rina Gill; Surrey First’s Vera LeFranc, Mike Starchuk, Dave Woods and Judy Villeneuve; Team Surrey’s Brenda Locke and Stephen Gammer; and independents Saira Aujla, Cliff Blair, Nav Dhanoya, Shawn Francis, Touraj Ghanbar-Zadeh, Martin Rooney and Rick Scorsese. On the crime issue, many candidates said a call for more police is an
indication of the will of the public. “Even the RCMP want to see more RCMP,” Guerra said. Others said more attention needs to be paid to providing programs for youth and addicts and others at risk of falling into a cycle of crime. “As an ex-RCMP officer, I say you do need more police officers,” said Woods. “But you have to look at the underlying issues… if you send people to jail for two years, all they’re going to do is go to jail and network.” Dosanjh also cited his experience in law enforcement. “I spent time in the Downtown Eastside… it was not more police that kept kids off the streets, it was care and compassion,” he said. Candidates agreed that density in the Semiahmoo Town Centre needs to be reviewed, particularly since infrastructure is not keeping pace with rise in population. There seemed to be a general sense that a maximum density has been reached in most South Surrey neighbourhoods, that more highrises are not needed in the town centre and that further urban sprawl needs to be discouraged in favour of sustainable growth.
“We’ve developed all the land west of the freeway – it’s finished,” McCallum said. “We won’t support any more… infill should be no higher than four storeys.” Rasode said the recent proposal to build two highrise towers at 152 Street at 19 Avenue, which would incorporate a theatre and arts component, is “a perfect example of how we need to do a better job.” She said there should not be a condition of “having arts and cultural space, only if you get something you don’t want in your neighbourhood.” But candidates were divided on the notion that the Grandview area has become, de facto, the true commercial centre of South Surrey. While many said they saw it as a reality that must be acknowledged, incumbent Villeneuve said development should continue to be encouraged to support established town centres such as Semiahmoo – “If businesses are leaving (the city cores) as other areas develop, then the (cores) become unhealthy.” Edwards said “some density is needed to keep (an area) in character – but we need to look at social housing as well.” Candidates were almost united in
rejecting the possibility of another casino proposal for South Surrey, citing social costs – although Dhanoya said the annual revenue to the city from a gaming facility, which he placed at around $7.5 million, could not be dismissed out of hand. “We will have a tab of $33 million if we have more police officers and the money has to come from somewhere,” he said. “I’m so proud of our community to so solidly reject the casino,” LeFranc said. “We can’t go back on that.” While most candidates answered “yes” to supporting removal of train tracks from Crescent Beach, and “yes” to acquiring the rail corridor as a waterfront pathway, Rice drew laughs from the crowd with his answer “yes to the pipe dream.” Elaborating, Rice noted that moving the tracks requires federal, provincial and municipal agreement as well as the co-operation of BNSF and that other rail issues need to be addressed sooner. “We need to stop the coal ports – we need to do something about that,” he said, adding he was also concerned about upgrading the “106-year-old” trestle bridge on the Little Campbell River.
White Rock votes
One last meeting Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Two hours, 11 of 19 candidates, 12 questions – and just a dash of mud-slinging – was the recipe for a hastily called White Rock allcandidates meeting, held Monday evening at the White Rock Community Centre. At least 150 people turned out to ask questions and hear from the candidates at the Democracy Direct-sponsored event, which was moderated by Scott Kristjanson, a member of the organizing group and former council hopeful. From the outset, Kristjanson laid ground rules for the candidates and residents alike: keep it clean. And for the most part, it was. One resident was cut off midquestion when it became obvious it was a personal attack on one of two mayoral candidates. Another who wanted to know which candidates opposed the Bosa towers “we’re now using” also did not get answers, after Kristjanson deemed it “not really relevant.” The moderator apologized for allowing a question and answer regarding a decade-old incident at city hall that made international headlines. It involved two thencouncillors who are both now running for re-election. “We’ve seen enough (mud-slinging) in the newspaper,” Kristjanson said. Allowed questions covered topics ranging from purchase of the city’s water supply, to safe beach access,

Regarding the water supply and how candidates would complete the long-sought purchase from system owner Epcor “now,” incumbent councillor Al Campbell said this is the first opportunity the city has had to purchase its water supply and that “if it doesn’t work for the city, we won’t do it”; David Chesney questioned the liquidation of Epcor’s Oxford Street property. Dennis Lypka, who said he favours the city tying into Metro Vancouver’s water lines, described the negotiations to date as “very much veiled,” saying he understood the sale of the utility was offered in 2005. Mayoral challenger David Bradshaw – who also said White Rock should consider linking to Metro water – noted that incumbent Wayne Baldwin didn’t support purchasing the water supply when he was city manager, “and now he
does,” then was cut short by Kristjanson when he tried to return to an earlier question, regarding Bradshaw’s call for a forensic audit of the city’s books. In that, former mayor Hardy Staub asked Bradshaw if he was “suggesting that the mayor and council or city staff are cooking the books?” “I don’t know if they’re cooking the books,” Bradshaw answered, “but a forensic audit will tell us if there have been any shenanigans… or is it just a matter that the priorities are messed up.” Baldwin said the call for a forensic audit suggests suspicion of wrongdoing or theft, and was an insult to city staff. “Before you start making statements about forensic audits, you really should know what you’re talking about,” he said, to lengthy applause.
Councillor hopeful Ross Haugland said a forensic audit would be “overkill.” “It is (reviewed) every year,” he said. “They’ve done a good job with them. Actually, White Rock’s in pretty good shape.” Regarding water, Baldwin noted council members are under a confidentiality agreement that prevents them from speaking publicly to the ongoing negotiations. In response to a question about how they would handle future bargaining with the union representing city workers, both incumbent councillor Helen Fathers and Bradshaw pointed to costs associated with the city’s independent fire service. Fathers said whether the city should continue with the service is a question that will have to be posed to the community “at some point,” while Bradshaw was more blunt. “Our fire service needs to be amal-
gamated,” he said. “We can get the same dedicated service from Surrey. We can’t afford this any longer.” Campbell, noting that a third of the city’s budget goes to fire, police and staff wages, said the city has “got to be very careful what we agree to.” Where safe beach access is concerned, Fathers and Campbell pointed to a need for education and increased enforcement; and Bradshaw said the issue has been “blown out of proportion” and should be left to railway owner BNSF. While all candidates were present at an Oct. 30 debate hosted by local business groups, eight – including all six members of the White Rock Coalition – were missing from Monday’s meeting, which was announced last week. Coalition candidates had booked a fundraiser for the same evening; and Darcy Sangster and Cary van Zanten were also unable to attend.

Animal cruelty acknowledged
Guilty pleas in dog deaths Sheila Reynolds Black Press
A Delta dog walker who left six dogs to die in the back of her truck last spring has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and falsely reporting a crime. In May, Emma Paulsen had reported that six dogs in her care had been stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley, spurring a large community search for the missing pets. About a week later, she admitted the dogs had actually died in her hot vehicle, which was reportedly parked in Richmond. She eventually led police to a ditch in Abbotsford where the dead dogs were dumped. A necropsy done by the SPCA confirmed the animals died of heat exhaustion. Among the six canines was her ex-husband’s and children’s border collie.

Emma Paulsen outside court. On Wednesday morning in Surrey Provincial Court, Paulsen entered guilty pleas to two of the six charges she faced. She quickly left the courthouse, heckled by animal-rights activists, before getting into a waiting car. Jennifer Myers, whose dog died while in Paulsen’s care, has a tough time talking about her Boston terrier, Buddy. While
relieved there won’t be a lengthy trial, she’s concerned what penalties Paulsen will face. “The hard part about a guilty plea is that you know it’s going to be a lesser sentence,” she said. “I would really like to see jail time. I’m not very optimistic. It’s very rare that animal-cruelty cases actually result in jail time.” Paulsen was initially charged with six offences under the Criminal Code and the B.C. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, including killing an animal, causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury, neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter, failing to protect an animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress, causing or permitting distress and intent to mislead police in an investigation. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21.
AG sues trucker over cruiser in fatality Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Canada is suing the driver of a truck that killed Surrey RCMP Const. 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 west on 64 Avenue near 148 Street in an unmarked police car while looking for a stolen truck. He was not using

As well, five per cent of respondents said they would not vote.

his lights and siren at the time. Harjit Singh Lotay was heading east on 64 Avenue. According to 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 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 expenses relating to the fitting (of) 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. As of Peace Arch News press deadline Wednesday, a statement of defence had not yet been filed by Lotay.

WARM UP
Surrey Citizen Leaders raises local issues
Residents plan power play Kevin Diakiw Black Press
A major force in Surrey politics has formed, a group of 50 community leaders that will be pushing for local issues to be addressed in a meaningful way. Panorama Ridge resident Bob Campbell has been forming the group for weeks, and says the group will be issue-based and will keep any political interests to the side. Surrey’s Citizen Leaders (SCL), Campbell said, is extremely well positioned to address issues facing this city. Many of them have been fighting battles in Surrey for years. “Crime is obviously an overriding thing,” Campbell said in an interview last week. “But at the community level, we all see bylaw enforcement and bylaws as huge to running our communities.” He said it’s not so much the number of bylaw officers, it’s the way they are dispatched. “A bylaw officer will drive by a dead-obvious infraction hundreds of times and won’t do anything,” Campbell said. Unlike typical Surrey residents, the members of SCL are going to bat for their community on an ongoing basis, and know well what is occurring in their area on

Group founder Bob Campbell. any given day. From the meeting on Nov. 4, the group resolved that the status quo is not working. That said, the group is going to try to stay politically neutral. The issues, Campbell said are extremely varied. “Start with crime, but bylaw is almost bigger than crime,” Campbell said. “People are saying `in my community, people can get away with secondary suites, etc.’ “ Failed community consultation came up at the meeting, with
people saying they are frustrated with the lack of their involvement in community plans. “That process is broken,” Campbell said. Members of the SCL say there are huge problems with the environment that aren’t being held in check. “Most people think that the (city’s) tree canopy study is being delayed because nobody wants to get it out before the election because it shows we’re losing trees like crazy, development rules,” Campbell said. The group is also concerned about the lack of infrastructure that’s not following the pace of development, Campbell said. Myriad issues will be brought forward in the coming days in the mainstream media and on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. The message will be to advise people to get educated, and avoid voting for slates. “Look for candidates that are going to solve these problems, and are going to have creative ideas,” Campbell said. “Look for independent candidates, so we can have vigorous debate at council on these issues.” The group’s Facebook site is at: https://www.facebook.com/SurreyCitizenLeaders

ll-candidate forums may be over in both White Rock and Surrey, but the campaigns of all council and school trustee hopefuls are still in gear – for some, that gear is overdrive – as the civic elections head towards the end of the all-important final week. Judging by the attendance at most of the forums in both cities – the last of which were held Monday evening – and the fact that advance-polling numbers have seen a boost compared to the last election in 2011, it appears there is an increased interest in this year’s campaign. And that’s a good thing. Regardless of our individual political views, the more residents who make an effort to stand up and be counted, the better. It’s difficult to pin down exactly why, this year, there appears to be an increase in election interest. It could be due to the fact that, for the first time, we are now voting in councillors, mayors and trustees for four-year terms, up from three years afforded winners of previous elections. As such, those voted into office have, in theory, an even greater opportunity to have an impact – good or bad – in their respective communities. Or perhaps, voter turnout is expected to rise because there are those unhappy with the status quo. Conversely, there are others, no doubt, pleased with the incumbents, and are making an effort to keep them in office, one vote at a time. But hopefully it’s also because people are realizing how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives. What happens at city hall or the school board office can directly affect you and your neighbours. There is the chance, too, that all this preelection enthusiasm will go for naught, and the same number of voters – give or take a percentage point or two – will end up casting ballots again this year. Hopefully, that is not the case, but only time will tell. It’s fitting that we get to exercise our democratic right to vote just a few days after we’ve paid our respects to our nation’s veterans, who sacrificed – and continue to sacrifice – so much, for the freedoms we often take for granted. One of those freedoms is the chance to vote. Here’s hoping that right is exercised this year more than ever.

meet with two puppies that were up for adoption. “Are you sure you want a puppy?” asked my mom on the drive over. “They’re a lot of work... you guys can’t even keep your goldfish alive.” A fair point, but after flushing our eighth Sophia down the toilet and dealing with the devastation from our daughters, we were more than ready to upgrade our family pet from one with fins to a fur baby. They say that you don’t choose your dog, they choose you – I couldn’t agree more. At the farm, while one of the puppies ran and hid, the other leapt into my arms, showered me with kisses and then tucked his teeny-tiny face under my chin. “I think you found the one, and so did he,” said my mom, who was already headover-paws for her new grand-doggie. Before making a final decision, we asked Zoe and Molly what they thought. Both girls had their arms around him, giggling as he jumped up to greet them. “I’m not scared of him mommy, he’s the perfect baby brother for us,” said Zoe, clearly smitten. At that moment I whipped out my phone to take a photo and send it to Jason at work. “It’s a boy!” read the text. So far, he’s been a perfect little pooch – except for a penchant for pooping in mommy’s office – but I’m sure he’ll get up to trouble soon enough.

World-class entertainment Editor: We are so lucky to live where we do. On Sunday, Nov. 9, I attended one of the Encore Peninsula Concerts at White Rock First United Church, this one featuring exceptional pianist Francesco Nicolosi. Aside from being the best value in this or any other town, there are other reasons to consider going to these concerts: 1. If you like classical music, why wouldn’t you go? 2. If you are not such a fan that you would spend $$$ and go all the way to Vancouver for a long concert, why not dip your toe in an hourlong session in your own backyard? 3. The concerts are at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoons and last about an hour; you can be home in time to get Sunday dinner together. 4. If you are a music student, this is an inexpensive chance to hear world-class professionals. There are four more concerts in the new year. Info and tickets are available at any White Rock Leisure Services venue, or at www. whiterockcity.ca I have no connection to this organization. I just love to let folks in on a good deal. See you in 2015? Michèle McManus, White Rock
Buses to serve our community Editor: Re: Not always about the bottom line, Oct. 21 letters. Could not agree more with the comments sent in by letter-writer Christine Branker regarding the poor service of the shuttle buses out in White Rock/South Surrey now. I also had just moved out here at the end of August, when the C53 Cranley that I use almost daily reverted to hourly service between the “non-peak” hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the week and hourly on Saturday and Sunday. How can they call 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. non-peak when most seniors who use this bus are going to appointments, shopping, in those exact hours. It’s pretty obvious that whoever changes routes/times/connection points and times never ride the buses. Now, with the awful weather approaching, it will just get more inconvenient. And, as Branker stated, at certain times of the day now, when the bus does come, it is already full. Whether there is one passenger or there are 40 passengers on any bus, it is a much-needed service, which is being funded by our fares and taxes. Dianne Miller, Surrey Q Re: Debate grows over long buses, Oct. 23 letters. I don’t know if the letter-writer is the same person as before that has complained about the big buses in Crescent Beach, but there are things that need to be understood about the buses.
There is constant information and updates that are fed into computers about scheduling buses and how they interface with the overall system. When you have the whole Lower Mainland involved in making connections in an integrated system, it isn’t an easy job. It’s a huge puzzle to solve and many times it needs tweaking. Having buses meet is a challenge in today’s traffic when transferring is involved. The best way to move the most amount of people in the quickest time within budget situations is also hard. Crescent Beach is the beginning of a route and the end of a route, at the same time, so of course the buses will be the emptiest at that time.
Also, buses are coming out of the garage to the beginning of the route not in service, and the opposite at the end of their service. There has to be a starting and ending point, and where does the writer suggestion whose street these buses get rerouted to? Crescent Beach has a natural loop in it for buses to go through and it is a destination point. In other words it is a natural for a terminus. If too much speed is a problem, then that can be dealt with. Remember, these buses are responsible for keeping one hell of a lot of cars off the road, and that is a good thing. Brian Lauder, Surrey
Methods used elsewhere Editor: Re. Capital idea to end violence, Oct. 23 letters. Canada has never used the electric chair for executions, so to suggest bringing it back shows monumental ignorance of this civilized country. If the writer approves of such barbaric methods of punishment, I suggest she moves to one of the United States where they still murder people for murdering people. Paul Every, Surrey

Columnist Tom Fletcher’s admission that he is skeptical on the subject of global warming elicits reader response.
Warming up to scientific theories Editor: Re: Hot gases spew from legislature, Nov. 4 column. Columnist Tom Fletcher’s opinion piece frames climate change as an issue of left against right. This of course is utter twaddle. That climate change is real is accepted by essentially every reputable scientist on the planet; they can’t all be socialists. Furthermore, the vast majority of world governments, including the one currently in power in Ottawa, accept it. Just Google “Canadian government’s position on climate change.” Is Fletcher suggesting the Harper Conservatives are left-wing zealots? The issue is not that they don’t accept climate change, they just don’t want to do anything about it. But what I often wonder about Fletcher and his skeptical ilk is whether they ever consider the consequences for this planet of what they advocate if they are wrong and indeed the world’s scientific community is correct. Are a few years of questionable economic gains worth the risk of delaying action on climate change, an issue upon which, contrary to Fletcher’s assertion, the jury has most assuredly delivered a verdict? Chalmers W. Caldwell, White Rock Q In his article, columnist Tom Fletcher supports MLA Laurie Throness’s assertion that there has been 18 years with little or no global-surface temperature rise. That is not true. I ask Fletcher and Throness to check a worldtemperature chart for themselves at www.durangobill. com/SwindlePics/SwindleRealTemp.gif. The chart shows that average temperatures are on the rise. It also shows that 1998 was an exceptionally hot year, a stand-out at that time, although now it would be considered normal. By using 1998 for a comparison, people can say that there has been little increase. Fletcher makes a point that carbon dioxide is a plant food and a component of exhaled breath. So it is. Carbon dioxide is taken by plants and used to construct carbohydrates and proteins. Later, by fire or decay or being used for energy by animals like us, the carbon is oxidized and returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. It cycles back and
forth between the atmosphere and organic matter. But when we burn fossil fuels, we add more carbon to the mix. We change the chemistry of the air and the water. We are creating a disaster. Fletcher has done excellent research on the naturalgas industry. I hadn’t realized how much carbon dioxide, which had been trapped in the earth, is released by gas extraction. It’s good to see this subject – global warming – being discussed in your paper. It seems that, as the scientific evidence becomes stronger, discussion of the subject becomes less. It’s as if we are determined to stick our heads in the sand and hope for the best. Bill McConnell, Surrey Q Another excellent column by Tom Fletcher, with just a tad of a variation suggested. Climate change is not a discussion between ‘Deniers’ and ‘Believers,’ but rather between ‘Skeptics’ and ‘Warmists’. The term, ‘Denier’ is simply a slur invented by the GW High Priest, Elgore, as a debase-the-messenger ploy. No one ever has, no one ever can, deny that the climate is changing; it has been changing constantly for millions of years. But let’s examine the last, say, about 75 years of climate on this Earth. Every single year of the 75, the concentration of CO2 has risen… gone up. But for the first approximately 35 years, the temperature went down, leading to projections in the 1970s of a coming ice age. For the following, say, about 20 years – until 1998 – the temperature went up, identified as the heyday (heyperiod?) of the theory of global warming, the period of irrational hysteria and also billions of dollars of GW research funds becoming available annually. From 1998 – a very hot year, at least partly because it was an El Niño year – to the present, the average temperature has ‘paused’, flatlined, with no discernible heating or cooling. Thus, in, say, 75 years of rising CO2, the temperature has only gone up for 27 per cent of those years. Hence, we can state undeniably that a new consensus is sweeping the globe: the relationship between CO2 and temperature is accepted to be, at best, uncertain! David Poole, Surrey

‘Ignorance is bliss’ argument can’t be supported: councillor
Patio cover to come down Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
A White Rock homeowner who asked for permission to build a patio-cover structure for his Moffat Lane abode after the structure was already in place will have to take it down. Council voted unanimously last month to deny a request for a development variance permit for 15615 Moffat Lane. “This isn’t just a regular person who made a mistake,” Fathers said. The issue came to the city’s attention after a neighbour complained. When staff investigated, they found the structure did not meet front- and side-yard setbacks as required in the bylaw. While staff had recommended council approve the variance

The patio cover on Moffat Lane. application – as they had done in a similar situation for a home at 15605 Moffat Lane in June 2013 – the politicians disagreed. At a public meeting held prior to the vote, a neighbour who spoke against the application cited the structure’s impact to his privacy and “optical breathing space,” as well as the fact city rules were side-stepped.
In opposing the application, Coun. Louise Hutchinson noted both requests were made by the same builder. “Now… they just did exactly the same thing,” she said. Hutchinson described the repeated violation as “a slap in the face to all of our processes.” In an April 2014 letter to council, homeowner Bhupinder Pandher apologizes and explains the cover was built due to safety concerns associated with people throwing objects into the yard. Hutchinson said council can’t support “ignorance is bliss.” “It wasn’t ignorance the second time,” she said. “I think you can forgive a person once. Why didn’t they go through the process properly the second time?”
Royal Avenue project proceeds The former site of a single-family home that had been converted to law offices will soon be home to a three-storey residential development. White Rock council voted unanimously last month to approve a development permit for the project, eyed for 15219 Royal Ave., following consideration of the application at the Oct. 6 land-use meeting.
In recommending council approve the permit, the city’s director of planning and development services noted all aspects of the proposal meet the requirements of the Official Community Plan and existing zoning; as well, it complies with form and character requirements outlined for the Lower Town Centre. According to city documents, the property owner plans to build
four units with a roof deck over one level of underground parking at the site. In response to recommendations from the advisory design panel, the building’s nautical theme was softened by reducing its front ‘bow’. As well an elevator was added to the design; the rear staircase will be enclosed; and one of eight parking stalls has been removed. – Tracy Holmes

Pearl Harbour veteran reflects on decades of service
‘No greater reward’ than to serve Brenda Anderson

t was the briefest of encounters – but it remains one of the most memorable of Bob Crerar’s life. As he stood on the bow of an American warship, watching a small plane fly low overhead, the aircraft’s pilot turned his head and locked eyes with the U.S. Navy corpsman. It was over in a heartbeat, but Crerar remembers the wordless exchange like it was yesterday. In fact, it happened more than 70 years ago – on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. ... Crerar was born in Rossland, B.C. on April 23, 1919, to American parents. When the Great Depression forced his father to close his insurance business in the B.C. Interior, the family moved to Spokane and opened another branch. When that business, too, closed its doors, they returned to British Columbia, this time moving to Nelson. But the family’s strong connection to the United States remained, and when Crerar was 20 years old he walked into a Navy recruiting centre in Opportunity, Wash. and signed up for military service. “I joined because I had a great opportunity to join the Naval Corps medical school to get training – which I never regretted,” Sarah Massah photo said the now-95-year-old South Pearl Harbour veteran Bob Crerar and his wife, Lois, reflect on his service at their South Surrey home.

the Cummings served as an escort to U.S. aircraft carriers, including the Lexington and the Saratoga. If a pilot ditched, the destroyer’s crew would pluck them from the water and the corpsman would render first aid. “I can think of six, maybe seven, pilots that I worked on,” said Crerar. “I gave them morphine and put them in a stretcher. I did everything I could at that particular point and then they were taken over to the carrier.” In 1943, during an all-too-brief shore leave in California, Crerar married his fiancée, Lois Brown, whom he’d met at a high school dance in Nelson prior to joining the Navy. While Crerar continued to serve during the war, Lois returned to Canada to wait. Throughout the Second World War, the couple, who have now been married for 71 years, exchanged letters. Writing every day, Crerar used a code they had to developed to tell Lois where he was. She would pass the information on to his parents. After the war ended and as their family grew, Crerar’s military career took them back and forth across the country, from Seattle to Idaho, California and Virginia. The couple had three daughters – Marilyn was born in 1945 in Oxnard, Calif.; Diane in 1947 in Seattle and Susan in 1949 in Long Beach. In 1950, the family was living in National City, Calif., near San Diego. One night, at around 11:30 p.m. there was a knock at the door. Two shore patrol officers had come to hand-deliver Crerar’s next set of orders. It wasn’t normal protocol, but then these weren’t normal orders. Crerar was to report by 6 a.m. the next day, so he and Lois got busy packing and, just a few hours later, he was out the door. “To this day, I can’t understand how I could have left Lois in a Navy project with the three little girls. She didn’t know how to drive, I was going someplace I had no idea,” said Crerar. To his Canadian wife, it was still very much a foreign country. And to make matters somewhat more challenging, Marilyn had contracted polio. When Crerar joined about 100 other corpsman aboard a plane at San Francisco, none of them had slightest idea where they were going. And when the aircraft eventually landed – at Guam – there was another exactly like it on the other side of the field. The men were divided alphabetically by last name, with the latter half transferring to the other plane. i see page 12

Nightmares remain of lives lost i from page 11 “I stayed aboard. I didn’t realize how lucky I was,” said Crerar. The other flight went directly to Korea and within two weeks every last one of those men was gone, he said. Crerar, meanwhile, was bound for U.S. Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan. “I wish you could have seen what we saw,” he said, shaking his head in disbelief. “At one time, it was a little dispensary for 25-28 beds. We got there, and in the mess hall, in the theatre, in the church – everywhere you could look – was nothing but wounded all over, wanting help. “They were all sent over from Korea. We were awake for two maybe three days before we got any sleep.” After three or four months in Japan, Crerar’s surgical team was transferred to Korea, where Crerar was assigned to the 5th Marines. Despite his deep admiration for the U.S. Marine corps, “It was the worst part of all my service,” he said. At Chosin Reservoir – the site of a bloody battle where the Americans had overextended themselves and been surrounded – Crerar found himself on the front lines, doing his best to treat catastrophic injuries. “One fellow from North Carolina was buried in the snow. I didn’t even know he was there, but I saw some thicket moving a little bit and I thought perhaps it was a bird. “I went over and I was able to scrape away some of the snow and there was this fellow, sitting there. He said, ‘Hi, doc.’ “I said What are you doing here? “He said, ‘I’m just taking it easy for a little bit.’ “And I turned him over and all his guts and everything were there. It was just a matter of time.

Bob and Lois Crerar were married more than 70 years ago (above). “I picked up his rifle and I put it in the snow. That’s to signify to anybody coming along that … there’s a body there,” he said. “I ran into so much of that.” For Crerar, this was his ‘lowest ebb’, and the thought of another day spent slogging through kneedeep mud in the freezing rain was more than he could stand. He recalls standing in the tent that had been set up to serve as the head, using the bottom of a tin can as a shaving mirror and wondering how much more he could take, when a PFC poked his head in the tent and said, ‘Chief, the old man wants to see you.’ Crerar was being transferred once again. This time, he was headed back to Japan. “I was sent to Tokyo where I had best job I ever had in the service. It was perfect,” he said. Perfect, because he was finally able to bring his family over. Ten years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Crerars were
living in Japan and developing an abiding love for its people. The family returned to the U.S. where Crerar finished out his military service. Their son, Brian, was born in Seattle in 1957. Crerar still takes great pride in the service he and his comrades provided, and he continues to speak about his experiences, including to students in the United States. Today, he is likely the only living Canadian veteran of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The family is not aware of another, at any rate. “I’m very proud of my service record,” said Crerar. “There’s no greater reward than to serve your country – especially when your services are needed. “But I’m very, very sorry for the men I had to wait on. “Even today, Lois will tell you, I often have nightmares. “It still bothers me.”

Jessie Lee Elementary students prepare to release Stanley the seagull Nov.6, after student Isabelle Honing alerted her parents to the injured seabird the day before.
Students rescue seagull Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Jessie Lee Elementary students learned a valuable lesson last week, as they celebrated the return-to-freedom of a seagull dubbed Stanley. “Never doubt the difference you can make in a day,” said parent Lynda Honing, repeating key words she shared with students just prior to the bird’s release. The year-old Stanley was spotted on the school grounds by
Honing’s 10-year-old daughter, Isabelle, on the Wednesday morning. He appeared lifeless at first, Honing said, but then, “I called to it and it lifted its head,” she said. Honing said she then contacted officials with the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby and transported Stanley to their care. There, she learned the wayward bird had suffered a head injury, likely from flying into a school
window. Fortunately, all Stanley needed was one night in care, and Honing got word the next morning that he was ready to return to the wild. “We just released it,” she told Peace Arch News, shortly after. She described the experience was “a good teaching moment for the kids.” “Even if you have many other things to do, it feels so great to make a difference.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT WAYNE
I worked with Wayne for over 16 years while on City Council and can personally attest to his integrity and professionalism. Wayne cares deeply for our City and has always been a strong leader. He has done an excellent job for us as Mayor over the past 3 years, and I support his bid for reelection and urge you to do the same. Judy Forster, Former White Rock Mayor and Councillor I support Wayne because he can make White Rock more affordable. He is willing to examine each decision based on evidence, make a rational decision, and take the required decision. His background and performance over the past three years uniquely qualify him to continue to be Mayor particularly when hard decisions are essential for the future of White Rock. J. Lorne Ginther, Solicitor and Former City Councillor Wayne has consistently been a strong supporter of First Nation issues, and the Semiahmoo First Nation in particular. He has been an advocate for our Band with the Provincial and Federal Governments in our quest to to get decent drinking water and sewage for our Reserve even though we are technically within Surrey. He has always been consultative and inclusive with our Band Council and shown the utmost respect for our culture and traditions. I strongly endorse his re-election as Mayor. Joanne Charles, Band Councillor, Semiahmoo First Nation On the occasion of Wayne’s retirement in 2006, long term Mayor and current MLA Gordon Hogg paid tribute to Wayne’s contribution to the City and its governance. “You made us look better. You made us feel better. You made us be better.” Gordon Hogg, Mayor 1983 – 1993, MLA
As Director , Site Operations, Peace Arch Hospital, I have had the distinct pleasure of working in partnership with Mayor Baldwin over the past three years. I have found Wayne to be a well informed and very interested and involved community leader. Peace Arch Hospital has had many initiatives that have been enabled by our strong, proactive linkages with the municipal overnment under the steady leadership and vision of Mayor Baldwin. We are looking forward to continuing this mutually beneficial partnership. Mary Rhodes, Site Administrator PAH I am pleased to endorse Mayor Wayne Baldwin in his bid for re-election. During his first term in office, Mayor Baldwin has shown leadership, determination, and a sound understanding of City finances. He has launched a number of bold initiatives, which in my view earn him the right to head Council over the next four years.
Re-Elect
for MAYOR
BALDWIN, Wayne Our City needs Wayne! He is a person who cares and listens. He has the knowledge and experience to solve complex problems. He has shown he knows how to work with all members of Council and staff and how to make them into a cohesive team. He represents visionary leadership. Hardy Staub, Former White Rock Mayor, City Councillor, and School Trustee Authorized by Fred Kline / Financial Agent 604-536-5247
I have known Wayne for over 30 years. I have always found him to be honest, skilled, and forthright. We need his experience in meeting the many challenges facing the City in the critical years ahead. Apart from their civic involvement, Wayne and his wife, Jane have been active volunteers in a number of programs for the betterment of the community. I ask you to join with me in helping re-elect Wayne Baldwin as Mayor on November 15. Vin Coyne, Freeman of the City, City’s longest serving Councillor

Dispatcher celebrated A Surrey woman has been named Canada’s top E-Comm 911 trainer, by the Canadian Association of PublicSafety Communications Officials. Police dispatcher Samantha Bruehler received the Trainer of the Year award last week, during the annual APCO Canada conference in Vancouver (Nov. 3-6). According to a news release, the newly established award recognizes those who played an instrumental role in the success of a training program within a public safety communications agency. “Training is a critical element of effective 911 service and that’s why we place a tremendous amount of emphasis on it at our centre,� E-Comm president and CEO David Guscott
said in the statement. “This award is a welldeserved recognition of Samantha’s continued commitment and the professionalism she and her teammates show each and every day.� In 2013, E-Comm integrated two additional police agencies into its dispatch centre – New Westminster Police and the Burnaby RCMP – which resulted in more than 23,000 hours of preparation and planning by the E-Comm training team. Bruehler was recognized for her leadership role in developing the training materials and her mentorship of other trainers and staff during these important transitions.   She said she is “incredibly honoured� by the recognition.�

AFTER 20 YEARS
Surrey philanthropist receieves award
Volken recognized The man who set up an ambitious alcohol and drug recovery home in Surrey was honoured last month with the Dalai Lama’s Humanitarian Award. For the first time ever, the Dalai Lama recognized the contributions by an individual who, through his devotion to philanthropy and humanitarian causes worldwide, has made exceptional positive social change. John Volken arrived in Surrey about 10 years ago, with plans to use the fortune from his furniture empire to build a large recovery facility for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. It was the latest in a long journey for Volken, who arrived in Canada from East Germany when he was 18 with $20 in his pocket. In 1960, the soft-spoken Mormon said, he began working in fast food restaurants because “he had to eat.� Later as a salesman, he opened a United Furniture Warehouse in Vancouver offering no-frills stock at low prices. A second store was opened in Surrey a few years later. By 2001, Volken had opened 150 stores throughout Canada and the U.S. and was seeing annual revenues of $200 million. Two years later, after a marital separation, Volken decided to sell off his holdings and find something more meaningful to do with his life. He considered a homeless shelter, but after speaking with service providers in Vancouver, he shifted his focus to

Volken recently built a 72-unit facility in Newton at 6925 King George Blvd. The $20-million compound has a host of necessary amenities, including classrooms, an on-site dentist and gymnasium, along with a store where recovering addicts work. Clients are expected to stay for an average of four years. Those who can afford it pay $65 a day, while the less-affluent stay for free. The foundation makes about $5 i see page 20

Dalai Lama attends presentation i from page 19 million annually in lease income from Volken’s properties, which covers the costs. Volken also sold his $5.5-million West Vancouver mansion and lives in the Surrey treatment centre. He’s done all this to try and help an addicted community known to lie, manipulate, steal and abuse the people trying to help them. It would be a lot easier, Volken acknowledges, to put all of the money towards a cause like treating AIDS in Africa. But that’s just money, he says. He wanted to get involved. He also runs a 20-bed facility in Seattle and has plans to open similar facilities in Alberta and Ontario. Volken was invited to a special ceremony at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver on Tuesday morning to receive the humanitarian award from the Dalai Lama. It was the second stop in Van-

The Dalai Lama was at John Oliver High School on Tuesday morning, where he fielded questions from some of the teens at the school. Matthew Morin grew up in a chaotic home and as he developed, he had a hard time connecting with kids in school. He asked the Dalai Lama if it was important
to have a strong connection with a mother in order to develop compassion. “Oh yes, no question,” the Dalai Lama said, as he held Morin’s hand. “I think most important for a compassionate mind, is our mother’s compassion.” He told Morin that’s where he got his compassionate mind. Sage Broomfield asked, “What is the importance of patience and how can one practise patience?” The Dalai Lama said when adversity arrives, it’s important to keep in mind that common understanding with others is of mutual benefit. “So, patience is very important,” the Dalai Lama said. He said it’s crucial to look for patience that’s grounded in a deeper understanding. After the school visit, the Dalai Lama attended the presentation of Volken’s humanitarian award and then participated in other events .

Reform of policy will become ‘urgent’: report
E
Black Press
The tolls that are now charged on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges should be extended to other Lower Mainland crossings so motorists are treated more fairly across the region. That’s one of the recommendations from the Business Council of B.C. in a white paper it has released on the need to build much more infrastructure in the province and seek new ways of financing it. It warns TransLink’s 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

The Golden Ears Bridge, built by TransLink in 2009. 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 alternative 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. Besides innovative finance options, the report urges the province to develop a long-term infrastructure development strategy so a steady pipeline of projects are being built, increasing investor confidence.

Car sharing has been slow to pick up speed outside the City of Vancouver but a new study suggests the trend is starting to get more traction, particularly in urban areas of Richmond, Surrey and the North Shore. The Metro Vancouver study found 87 per cent of car-share service users surveyed live in Vancouver, where the high population density, frequent transit, challenging parking and mix of stores, offices and homes makes it more viable and attractive for many residents to opt out of owning a car. But it notes the big operators like Modo and Car2go are expanding to sites in walking distance of existing SkyTrain stations such as Surrey Central, Canada Line Stations in Richmond and areas like Patterson and Metrotown stations in Burnaby and 22nd Street or Columbia station in New Westminster. “The redevelopment and intensification of established frequent transit corridors and new rapid transit station areas in suburban municipalities represent some of the best opportunities to create the built environment conditions for car share to thrive,” the study says. Thousands of new residents are expected to move into homes within a short walk of many existing transit stations and also potential new ones on proposed lines in Surrey along 104 Avenue, King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway. There are currently 65,000 car-share members in Metro Vancouver and nearly 1,000 shared vehicles, according to the report. The main reasons for joining, survey respondents reported, were the cost savings compared to owning a car, the convenience of car sharing compared to transit and the extra mobility it offers. “Where car-share services operate today, they are popular and have become a fixture in neighbourhoods,” the report said. Car-share members tend to own fewer vehicles than prior to joining and the study
estimated each shared vehicle eliminates or avoids the purchase of five to 11 privately owned cars. Car sharing can also help take pressure off scarce parking and its users tend to make more use of transit, walking or cycling to commute to work, while using the shared cars for other trips. The survey found shopping was the most common reason for users to book a shared car, followed by visiting friends and family, recreation or going to a restaurant/bar. Several cities encourage developers to provide carshare vehicles in new residential or commercial buildings by offering to reduce the number of required off-street parking stalls. Cities could also relax parking rules for car-share vehicles, so they can be parked on residents-only streets, the Metro study suggests. Key trends driving the potential growth in shared cars is the fact most new housing units being built in the region are apartments, as well as the emergence of TransLink’s frequent transit network – an expanding mesh of routes that guarantee bus or rapid transit service at least every 15 minutes every day into the evening. The report also cites waning interest in car ownership among younger generations. After Vancouver, the survey found car sharing is most popular in Burnaby, North Vancouver City, New Westminster, North Vancouver District, Richmond and Surrey.

Recycling lags in Metro Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver residents are recycling laggards when it comes to taking back their empty bottles and other deposit containers. And those in Surrey and Vancouver appear to be the worst of all. So says Encorp Pacific, the non-profit agency that oversees the Return-It network of depots on behalf of member companies. The system has an overall beverage container recycling rate of 80.1 per cent across B.C., a number that has improved from 72 per cent in 2006. But Metro Vancouver is significantly worse than other regions at about 74 per cent, according to Encorp CEO Scott Fraser. “Surrey and Vancouver are our two biggest challenges in terms of lower recovery rates and the largest numbers of unrecovered containers,� Fraser said. Encorp says recovery rates are also low in the North Shore, Tri Cities and Abbotsford, but relatively high in Langley, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Delta. An estimated 155 million beverage containers sold in Metro Vancouver each year never make their way back to depots, despite deposit refunds. About half the containers that end up unrecycled in landfills are dropped in outdoor garbage containers or come from businesses, institutions or industry, while roughly a quarter each come from single family and multi-family residential. The business/ commercial sector has a container recycling rate of only 58 per cent in Metro, dragging down the region’s overall performance. More cages for deposit containers on the sides of outdoor garbage bins could help binners retrieve and recycle them, Fraser said. “We really would like to see recycling containers next to every street garbage bin,� Fraser said. “A harried family with three kids with juice containers walking down the street wants to put them in the first thing they see. And if it’s a garbage can we lose those containers.� Encorp has begun

offering free binnerfriendly container recycling receptacles to municipalities that promise to service and clean them. They’re designed for areas with high pedestrian traffic. Fraser said deposits are never paid out on many containers that are put in the blue box curbside recycling system – now overseen by Multi-Material BC – because they’re often crushed in mechanized sorting machinery and can’t be identified. Some Metro Vancouver politicians
Dr. Anthony Bellusci
have raised concerns that recycling of glass bottles will decline because MMBC no longer accepts them in the blue box in most municipalities, directing residents to instead bring glass to depots. Depots also generally do not accept or pay refunds on beverage containers bought in the U.S. because no deposits were paid into Encorp’s system to cover their recycling. Encorp marked 20 years of operating the container deposit system this year and
recorded its 15 billionth container recycled in October. Encorp’s statistics don’t include beer, wine and spirit bottles and cans. They come back at much higher recovery rates – more than 92 per cent – under a separate system jointly run by major breweries. Encorp’s Fraser said the disparity in return rates between the two systems is because liquor consumers are accustomed to returning empties when they go to buy more beer or wine.

Repositioning Cruises through the Panama Canal By Cruise Holidays of White Rock We are so lucky to live in Vancouver! Not only is this a beautiful city (especially on a sunny day), but we are home port to many Alaska, Mexico, California and Hawaii sailings! Sailing from and then back to Vancouver with no airfare needed is a real bonus these days! And the cruise lines are offering more and more sailings to, from or roundtrip Vancouver. One of the most popular sailings is doing a full Vancouver transit of the Panama Canal, beginning or ending in Vancouver. Celebrating 100 years in 2014, the Panama Canal is still a technological marvel and an experience not to be missed. Several of the ships coming north from Florida in the spring to sail Alaska, and heading south in the fall for the winter season, offer a great opportunity to see the Panama Canal. These ‘repositioning’ sailings only happen twice a year and offer great value, particularly to those of us here in Vancouver.

Today, the Panama Canal still remains a feat of engineering! Panama Canal One of the biggest tasks was the damming of the Chagres River with the Gatun Dam, a massive earthen wall 1 ½ miles long and nearly a mile thick! It was the largest dam in the world when built and the reservoir it created, Gatún Lake, was the largest man-made lake. The six sets of locks, which work like liquid elevators that raise and lower ships the 85 feet between Gatún Lake and the sea, are also major engineering feats. Six years ago, the Panama Expansion Project began. Construction continues on the expansion and with the 3rd set of locks scheduled to open in 2016, capacity is expected to double. This expansion will allow the newer ‘mega’ ships to transit the canal, creating many more unique itineraries to experience!

Uber targets taxi ‘cartel’ 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.

Marine rescue ends with words of advice
Contributed photo
Two men were rescued from Mud Bay last month, after running into trouble returning to shore in an abandoned skiff they had found.
A pair of young men who ventured out into Boundary Bay last month in a skiff they found abandoned on the banks of the Nicomekl ended up needing to be rescued. Volunteers with Crescent Beachbased RCM-SAR5 said they were tasked to help at around 7 p.m. Oct. 15, after a concerned citizen reported seeing two people on the water, struggling to paddle towards shore. “They were fighting the current and weren’t making any headway,” Andrew Newman, spokesman for the searchand-rescue team, told Peace Arch News by email. The sea had a one-foot chop, and
the already-sketchy weather conditions were forecast to only get worse, Newman writes. Using night-vision equipment and search lights, the rescue crew located the eight-foot skiff in Mud Bay. The young men aboard, both 19 years old, had no life jackets, VHF radio or cellphone, and only one paddle. They did, however, have skateboards. Assessed by a medic onboard the rescue vessel Vigilant, the pair were put ashore at Crescent Beach Marina “after receiving some advice on boating safety.” – Tracy Holmes

Bryce Willushaw turns do-it-yourself mural idea into business
Artist aims to spark children’s creativity Alex Browne
A
Arts Reporter
White Rock artist and graphic designer has created a versatile interactive arts and creativityoriented toy for children that allows them a free hand to decorate their rooms with a whole menagerie of colourful creatures – without damaging walls or stressing-out parents in the process. Bryce Willushaw’s Mixable Murals are non-toxic, easy to use, durable, tear and stretch resistant, and retain their stickability without marking up walls or leaving a residue. And with whole families of friendly horses, cows, pigs, sheep, owls, giraffes, monkeys and sea-turtles to pose however they want – and new sticker kits being added all the time in sizes ranging from small to superlarge – young children can create their own continually changing and evolving wallscapes, Willushaw said. The ways the pieces can be combined and arranged is virtually limitless, he added – and he hopes the novelty, and the creative aspect, will make his product a good bet for Christmas shoppers looking for something different for younger family members. It’s not just a question of keeping kids amused, as Willushaw points out. “We’re hoping it becomes a family activity – something you can do with kids to get that creative give-and-take happening, and allow them to experiment without fear of mistakes. “By making creativity a part of your everyday play with your children, you are setting them on the right path to a lifelong love of creating, curiosity and learning,” he said. Also included among the sets of cute baby animals are two formats of alphabets and numbers, he added. The Langley-born-and-bred entrepreneur has been working in the arts since high school, doing everything from sculpture to illustration to animation art and design and Fine Arts as well. “I’ve always had my mind open to small business ideas.” he said. “And I think all designers and all artists want to see their work fulfilling some kind of function in society – if you can bring some joy and inspire others, that’s great.” But he gives full credit to his four-year-old niece for inspiring Mixable Murals as the first product of his new company, Island Pine Design. “When she was born, for some reason,

White Rock artist Bryce Willushaw is hoping his new Mixable Murals project will spark creativity in youngsters and their families. the love I felt for her triggered something deep inside,” he said. “I felt my imagination moving in a way I hadn’t felt before.” He knew the kind of gift he wanted to give her, he said – something that would spark her imagination and keep her involved, as well as being safe and non-toxic. But extensive searching told him the kind of product he had in mind did not exist. Realizing the gap – and a window of opportunity – Willushaw set to work designing, researching materials and finding manufacturers who could produce his Mixable Murals idea at the level of quality and consistency he required. It took two years to develop the product, but by the time his niece reached her fourth
birthday he had a seven-foot-tall posable giraffe mural kit ready for her playroom. Her delight, and positive reactions from friends and family, told Willushaw he needed to make more and market them. Manufactured from PVC polyester fabric, the kits are not prone to the problems of plastic off-gassing, volatile organic compounds or the unpleasant odour of other plastic decals, Willushaw said. And the inks used are Green Guard school and children indoor air-quality certified, he added. “It was really, really important for me for these to be as safe and non-toxic as possible.” He’s also made sure to offer a wide range

of products, which means that parents and children can test the concept with small starter kits before embracing it with the largest kits. “We have everything from smaller birds to the giraffe – and we’re also developing an elephant and a rhinocerous,” he said. “The murals can be taken off the wall and stored for any length of time,” he added. “They do last a long, long time. We’ve had some pieces on and off walls between 40 and 50 times and they’re still sticking. “One of our clients told me she put a piece through the wash accidentally and it went right back on the wall and stuck.” For more information, visit www. mixablemurals.com

uestion: I have always been attractive to men, and as a caregiver I have been quite successful in getting elderly men in my care to develop feelings of affection for me which result in Ànancial gain to me when my patient dies. My latest patient has a son who wishes me to sign a document saying I won’t make any claims against his father’s estate. I have sobbed about my feelings being hurt, which usually works, but now my patient is insisting. Can he do this?
A
nswer: No he can’t make you sign, but my advice is to Ànd yourself another patient. If you sign, it will substantially reduce any change of beneÀtting from his death, and if you don’t sign your patient will conclude that your intentions are mostly mercenary.

SLT production shines on stage
Sylvia cast gets laughs Mike Roberds

Special to Peace Arch News
uthor Kate DiCamillo once said “it’s hard not to immediately fall in love with a dog who has a good sense of humor.� That’s true of the title character in A.R. Gurney’s play Sylvia, the current production of Surrey Little Theatre (7027 184 St.), which runs until Nov. 15. Greg and Kate (Terry Thomas and Kate Bergen) are a couple of “empty nesters� who leave the suburbs behind to start a new chapter of their lives together in the big city. She’s looking to further her career in education while he’s becoming more complacent with his own career, finding any opportunity to take the afternoon off for long strolls in the park. It’s during one of these sojourns that Greg comes across a loveable stray dog named Sylvia (Rebecca Strom) and the two instantly bond. But when Greg brings the dog home to their apartment, his wife takes an immediate dislike to the cursing canine and rattles off every good – and notso-good – reason why they can’t possibly keep her. It doesn’t take long before this unusual love triangle arrives at the ultimate ultimatum - “it’s either her or me.� Strom brings just the right mix of humour and pathos to her
character, and you immediately accept the suspension of disbelief that she is a dog, and fully buy into it. Thomas and Bergen are strong as the couple, although he gets to test the waters of different emotions, while she remains pretty constant in her irritation and later downright hatred of Sylvia – although this may be more the fault of Gurney’s script than Bergen’s performance. It’s possible that those who share her character’s opinions of ‘man’s best friend’ may also relate to Kate more than this reviewer did. Kanchana Walberg, Bowen Munsil and Tim Driscoll round out the supporting cast. While Walberg and Munsil are quite capable in their minor roles, it’s community theatre veteran Driscoll who shines brightest – as fellow dog-owner Tom – earning some of the show’s biggest laughs as he shares his innate knowledge of canines and the psychology of their owners. Whether you’re a dog person or not, Sylvia is one mutt you could fall in love with. Sylvia runs Thursday to Saturday, 8 p.m. For reservations, call 604-576-8451 or go to www. brownpapertickets.com Guest reviewer Mike Roberds is a stage and screen actor, best known for playing Uncle Fester on The New Addams Family.

South Surrey boxer takes aim at Pan-Am Games’ spot
Hinds takes silver in the ring Rick Kupchuk Black Press
Contributed photo
A black-eyed Darcy Hinds shows off his silver medal from nationals.
A loss in the final at the Canadian Amateur Boxing Championships in Mississauga, Ont. wasn’t the result Darcy Hinds was expecting. But it’s still a very positive outcome, one that he plans on taking advantage of. Hinds lost a decision to Clovis Drolet of Quebec in the gold-medal match of the middleweight (75 kg.) division, a three-round bout he thought he had won. “I kicked some butt,” said the South Surrey resident. “I thought I was winning, my corner thought I was winning. He (Drolet) had a big right hand, and is a strong guy.
“I stayed away from his right hand, kept jabbing at him. I thought I had won.” In addition to the gold medal, Hinds lost a shot at receiving funding as a (federal government) carded athlete – roughly $20,000 a year to cover expenses, money which would have gone a long way towards helping him reach his ultimate goal of qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Brazil. With local sponsors such as Steve Nash Fitness (Morgan Crossing) and Bikram’s Yoga in White Rock, Hinds still receives some support. And aside from the extra funding, a silver medal at nationals is “almost as good as gold.” “I’m on the B team, which means I will probably
be at the (2015) Pan Am Games in Toronto,” he explained. “It’s not 100 per cent, but quite possible. “And a medal – gold, silver or bronze – would probably be enough to get you into the Olympics.” Hinds, a member of the Queensborough Boxing Club in New Westminster, was one of six boxers in the middleweight class in Mississauga. He received a first-round bye before taking on Marco Capobianco of Ontario in the semifinals, a one-sided match he easily won. “I destroyed him, I knocked him down in the first round. I dominated him,” said Hinds. “I did get tired in the third round and fell, because I i see page 38

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, comprising 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 i see page 37

Lack of energy cited in men’s hoops loss
OPEN HOUSE
Kwantlen falls on home court
TUESDAY, NOV 18 9:30-11:15AM
Rick Kupchuk Black Press
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 Capilanos Blues and 76-45 to the Quest Kermodes on Saturday. The women were edged 69-62 by the Blues, and lost 63-59 to Quest. “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 firstyear forward Nick Smith added 15 points, while forward Trevor Schulz was the top rebounder with eight. The Blues led 18-11, 38-26 and 60-47 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, 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. Shilpa Khanna was the leading scorer for KPU with 20 points. 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. With both teams now at 1-2 (won-lost), the Eagles teams will be on the road for a pair of games next weekend against the Langara Falcons Friday night in Vancouver and Douglas College Royals Saturday in New Westminster.
Valley West moves into fifth place i from page 35 Langley. Justin De Vos of Surrey put the visitors up 3-2 with 11 minutes to play, then with just two minutes to go, Langley’s Christian Bosa notched his second of the game for the 4-3 advantage. The Rockets got one back with 20 seconds to play, but lost for just
the fourth time in 13 games. Nic Tallarico of Surrey made 30 saves in the Valley West goal, including two on breakaways. Bosa added another pair of goals Sunday morning, as the two teams traded the lead three times. Trevor Ayre of Semiahmoo put the Hawks up 3-2 early in the their period, with
Okanagan getting the game-tying goal with nine minutes to play. Valley West is now tied for fifth place with the Vancouver Chiefs, each with 7-5-2 (won-lost-tied) records. The teams play a pair of games this weekend, facing off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Langley, and Sunday at 11:45 a.m. at Planet Ice in Coquitlam.

Sea Wolves shine in 1st meet Local swimmers from the Pacific Sea Wolves Swim Club got their new season off to a great start last weekend in Coquitlam, with members returning home with plenty of medals and personal-best times. Leading the way among the medal-winners was Edwin Zhao – who was a frequent podiumfinisher last season, too. Last weekend, in what PSW coach Brad Dingey called “our first big competition of the season� Zhao struck gold in four freestyle disciplines – the 100-, 200-, 400- and
1,500-m events. Alex Blaskovich, meanwhile, won three gold medals – in 400and 1,500-m free, plus 200-m butterfly – while also clocking five personal-best times; Lydia Doyon won gold in the 400-m free and silver in the 800, while Catherine Grimme found the podium four times, highlighted by a gold-medal in the 200-m back. Laikin Greffard was first in the 100-m fly and silver in the 200-m individual medley, while Stephanie Lee had 11 personal
best and five medals – two of them gold. Horace Liu won a pair of silver medals, Isabelle Lei had three top-three swims, and Bailey Mothe won gold in the 400- and 800-m free swims, as well as the 200-m backstroke. Other medallists included Katherine Toy (three medals), Kevin McDonough, David Zhang and Alex Wang (two medals apiece), Isabella Koch (one gold), Darian Fry (one silver), Ariana Aktary (one silver), and Forrest Xie (one bronze). – Nick Greenizan
Boxer ‘dominated’ semifinal fight i from page 35 didn’t eat enough prior to the match. I just ran out of fuel.� A five-time provincial champion, a Western Canadian champion and a bronze and silver medalist at nationals, he has won roughly 90 per cent of approximately 100 amateur fights.
He will be at the Golden Gloves Nov. 29 in Cloverdale, and expects to be in a couple of international tournaments in the United States. Leading up to the Pan Am Games, his agenda is “to just stay busy.� His years as an amateur athlete has taught him combining work with training is difficult, and puts
him at a disadvantage against opponents who are able to secure funding to dedicate themselves full-time to the sport. He receives “tons of work� in the film stunt industry; he was a stunt double on the TV show Arrow, playing a boxer. “I need to not have to work,� Hinds said. “I need to just train.�

An Acura made in Canada, just for Canada 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 for 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 a used Acura CSX.

The Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury... very nice! First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new, more performance oriented, version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A five-speed automatic transmission was a popular option. An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted, paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/highway) with the manual transmission. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for the 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost
Honda. You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any U.S. crash testing.

Some tires are hard to deflate by Rob Rothwell
during an off-road excursion. Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, they were never overwhelmed. Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest
part of a typical tire. Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados – and 80 KO2s – performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks.
Buying a used vehicle?
AskWalt p
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. 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 to be the benchmark. The manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 percent stronger than the original KO tire. 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. BF Goodrich supplied a series of off-road exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s on new Chevrolet Silverados. The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant
surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every surface one might face

Undesirable collector cars whose values have exploded The classic car world is possibly one of the most opinionated collecting pursuits known to man, and nearly everyone seems to have an opinion on relative values and desirability. Each car on the list has at one time or another been deemed to be hopeless as a collectible and each has one thing in common – they’ve skyrocketed in value. 1956-58 Studebaker Golden Hawk: Poor Studebaker, the cars of the ill-fated favorite son of South Bend, Ind., never seemed to get the same love from collectors as the cars of the Big Three. But they may be getting the last laugh. At a time when the prices of most American cars of the 1950s have been flat, the Golden Hawk has been red-hot. With great looks and some of the best and sportiest interiors of American cars of the era, even European collectors have taken a new look at Hawks. Ten years ago, these were $25,000 cars. Last January, a not terribly well optioned car sold at an auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., for more than $100,000. 1965-69 Corvair convertible: The air-cooled rearengine Corvair is perhaps the ultimate automotive underdog. The hatchet job that Ralph Nader did on the first generation of the

car tainted even the vastly improved second-generation Corvair. In truth, it was a fantastic car, with great looks and even an optional turbocharger. Yet, historically, they’ve appealed to a narrow market – fans of front-engine Chevy muscle shun the car as do import snobs. Collectors were fond of saying that Corvairs would always be cheap. How wrong they were. Nice convertibles struggled to break $15,000 10 years ago; they’ve since doubled in value. 1979-80 BMW M1: The M1 was BMW’s first foray into the mid-engine exotic world. Just over 450 were built. With a little development help from Lamborghini, and some inspiration from an earlier Paul Braq-designed concept car, BMW produced a credible supercar and the first officially badged M-car that spawned a long line of special Motorsports BMWs. Back in the flamboyant 1970s, though, the car was deemed too low-key inside and out. But its subtle good
looks have aged extremely well. As recently as 2003, an M1 sold for just $49,000. Three years later, they were still going for well under $100,000. This past March, one sold for $379,000. 1976 Porsche 912E: Porsche has always struggled with entry-level stuff. They know that they should have an entry-level car, but they’ve often either fumbled the execution and/or suffered a backlash from the Porsche snobs. The 912E was a one-year-stop-gap effort that held down the fort after the end of 914 while the

were made and the 912E’s mid-’70s vintage 911 looks and easy serviceability have made them desirable today. I personally paid $6,500 for a nice one in 2005. The same car would be worth $20,000 today. A New York dealer has recently advertised one for just under $40,000. 1955-63 Mercedes 190SL: The 190SL has lived forever in the shadow of its bigger and more powerful sibling, the 300SL. And while they’re outwardly similar, they’re in a whole different league performance-wise. The 190SL used to be dis-

But as 300SLs rose to over $1 million, collectors began to accept the 190SL for what is was – a very well-built cruiser.

OBITUARIES
SULLY, Dean May 15, 1953 - Oct. 27 2014
Dean Sully, loving son, best big brother, fun uncle and caring friend passed away Oct 28, 2014. Dean was born May 15, 1953 in Vancouver. He had a difficult start in life but with much care and love from his parents, Mary and Al Sully, Dean survived his precarious infancy and went on to live a full life. In spite of many challenges he mastered swimming, bike riding, horseback riding, boating, literacy and life skills. He loved his family, his friends and the many animals that passed through his life. Dean lived independently for many years and travelled to Hawaii, England and Australia. Westminster House was his home for the last six years and where he spent his last days. Dean was a generous, thoughtful and courageous man. He was admired by many. Dean was predeceased by his father Allan and is survived by his mother Mary, sisters Dallas and Catie, brothers-in-law Sean and Bruce, nieces Risa and Jemma, nephews Taylor, Brennen, Graeme and Nathan, many cousins and friends. Thank you to all those who helped Dean throughout his life. A special thank you to those who cared for him at Westminster House and to Robin, Sally, Trisha and Dr. Glenn Anderson. A Celebration of Dean’s Life will be held on Wednesday, November 19 at 1:00 pm at Crescent United Church, 2756 127 Street, Surrey BC.
VICTORY MEMORIAL PARK FUNERAL CENTRE 604-536-6522
Evelyn Caywood passed away peacefully on November 6, 2014. She was predeceased by husband, Alfred Beebe Caywood, sister Gladys (Robert) Keeling, brothers Ernest (Olive) Bjorge and Kenneth (Norma) Bjorge, sisters-in-law Irma (Milt) Hagen and Marion (Harold) Hood and brother-in-law Lynus Caywood. Evelyn is survived by her three children, Wendy, Bruce (Bonnie) and Bill (Dawn), ten loving grandchildren and six great-grand-children as well as many nieces and nephews and their families. Evelyn was born in Ferry Point, Alberta and grew up in Edmonton where she married Alf. Their early years together were sometimes challenging, but she was as content in a home with no electricity in Canada’s north as she was on a farm in Alberta or, later, in one of the beautiful homes she kept. When Alf retired they moved to Vancouver Island where they spent many years enjoying their gardens and poodles and hosted many, many joyous gatherings of family and friends. Evelyn was a gracious hostess and a gifted cook. Anyone who visited her home was welcomed by her kind and warm heart. After Alf’s passing, Evelyn moved to South Surrey to be closer to her family. For several years she enjoyed travelling extensively with family and friends. She continued entertaining into her early nineties. She loved being challenged to a game of bridge or scrabble, and always had time for a game of UNO or ‘go fish’ with an adoring grandchild. A Celebration of Evelyn’s Life will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at Valley View Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home, 14660 72nd Avenue, Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the SPCA or a charity of your choice. Valley View Funeral Home 604-596-8866
