I have been buying home insurance for many years and recently switched over to Prime Insurance because I saved 67% on my renewal premium; it was $3110 and now I paid $1032.

Not only did I save money with Prime Insurance but more importantly I experienced great customer experience. I recommend that you try it for yourself. Steve Buchanan, 604-534-4265 I recently purchased house insurance from Prime and when I had finished my only regret was that I had not been here sooner. I was with TD Insurance thinking that because I am buying direct it would be cheaper; in my case it was not. At Prime, I had reduced my annual house insurance cost from $2356 to $1330, which also included better coverage. After seeing that, I asked about my rental property and that too was $700 lower!

COURT DELAY IS ‘AGONY’ FOR VICTIM’S FAMILY ▶ TRIAL FOR MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING BRADLEY MCPHERSON IN 2011 RESCHEDULED TO MARCH 2016 SHEILA REYNOLDS

The family of a man shot to death at a Christmas Eve party in Surrey nearly four years ago is frustrated the trial for his accused killer won’t begin until March 2016.

Russell Bidesi is charged with the second-degree murder of Bradley McPherson on Dec. 24, 2011. His trial was initially scheduled for February 2015 before being put forward to August.

But on the day Bidesi’s trial was to begin a month ago, his defence lawyer announced he was withdrawing from the case for ethical and continued on page 5

Federal Conservative candidate Dianne Watts is standing by the message of campaign literature delivered doorto-door in the South Surrey-White Rock riding last week.

Her campaign card – which says beside the Conservative party logo, “We will fight jihadist terrorists at home and abroad” and includes a quote originally attributed to an Islamic extremist, “You

will not feel secure in your bedrooms” – has received fallout from political opponents and area residents who say it is “fear mongering.”

The Liberal candidate in the riding, former Surrey councillor Judy Higginbotham slammed the campaign literature.

professional reasons, leaving the accused without counsel and forcing the trial to be rescheduled.

“It was a real shock to our system,” said Brad’s mom Susan Simning, who took a leave of absence from work so she could attend the summer trial. “We were blindsided.

“The family is heartbroken and frustrated we have to wait even longer.”

McPherson, 28, was shot at a get-together in a home near 131 Street and 67A Avenue. At the time of Bidesi’s arrest in April 2013, police said they believed McPherson had stepped in when he saw someone being disrespected and was fatally shot.

Bidesi’s trial is now scheduled to begin March 21 – two days prior to what would have been Brad’s 33rd birthday.

Simning dreads the further sixmonth wait.

“There is no regard for victims’ lives… all those people who are out there waiting and wanting to have some closure.

Everything is put on hold – again.”

She said the slow-moving legal system has proved been exasperating.

“It has been agony, that’s probably the best word because emotionally, you start right from the beginning.

I had finally psyched myself up and was ready.

I thought I was finally going to get justice for Bradley.”

Susan Simning On top of dealing with the trial delay, Simning said, it was a “nauseating” experience to see her son’s accused killer for the first time.

“I didn’t want to see his face… I did not want to have it in my head, thinking about him until the day of the trial,” she said. “Now I have it lingering in my head.”

Bidesi was found guilty of manslaughter earlier this year in the shooting death of 31-year-old Kacey Rogers in Surrey in February 2012. He has yet to be sentenced for that conviction.

Bidesi’s trial for the McPherson murder will take place in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

head, said there were two unencrypted back-up hard drives created in 2011, contrary to ministry information and privacy rules. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has been notified and is investigating.

“There’s no doubt that a mistake was made, first in how the hard drive was created, and secondly, how it was stored,” Virk said. “This should not have happened.”

The drive also more than 9,000 personal education numbers for children in government care, connected to information such as health and behaviour issues. This sensitive personal information could be connected to names by comparing the personal education numbers to names through the larger data file.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said Virk is coming forward after several weeks because he doesn’t believe the missing hard drive will be found.

“For government to admit this has happened is not good enough,” Fleming said. “They have to tell us how and why it happened, and the minister specifically has to say why he failed to do his job.”

The government has set up a phone contact centre through Service BC for specific inquiries about the data breach. The centre is open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and callers should be prepared to say when they attended public or post-secondary schools in B.C. In Victoria, call 250-387-6121.

“Creating this kind of terrorist fear-mongering in our riding goes far beyond being inappropriate,” she said, calling on Watts to “stiffen her backbone” and indicate to Conservative Leader Stephen Harper that such a message to Canadians is not acceptable.

“Is fighting terrorists in South Surrey-White Rock really (Watts’) top priority?

Surrey resident Sybil Rowe called the mailout “shocking” and a “classic example of politics of fear.”

“For the first time in my life, I phoned her campaign office and told them I was deeply offended by this advertisement,” Rowe said.

But on Wednesday, in a written statement to The Leader’s sister

paper The Peace Arch News (PAN), Watts denied that the card’s content was a scare tactic.

“I do not believe there was any intention to fear monger,” she said, adding that the Conservatives’ stance on intervention to defeat ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) forces was instrumental in her decision to run for the party.

“While both the NDP and Liberals have stated they will pull out of the coalition and end the ISIS combat mission, under Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper we will continue to address threats to our national security and help protect the innocent people from the violence and brutality of ISIS.” The card, which bears Watts’ name and picture on the reverse side, features photographs

ately, Volkswagen’s newsworthiness has been all about heralding its climb to ‘world’s biggest automaker’ with reports detailing its ‘sprawling empire’ encompassing Audi and Bentley luxury cars, Porsche and Lamborghini sports cars, Scania and MAN heavy trucks, and Ducati motorcycles. …But now this. Big trouble.

Recent tests conducted by the International Council on Clean Transportation on diesel vehicles that included testing a Volkswagen Jetta and Passat reportedly found a discrepancy between their ‘real world’ emissions and lab test results, which, in turn, revealed they contained a “defeat device”— software that turns on the full emission control system only when emission testing is underway.

Without these pollution controls, diesel engines provide increased torque and better acceleration, and are more fuel efficient, and durable. But they also emit nitrogen oxide, an air pollutant said to be linked to asthma and other respiratory diseases.

On Sunday September 20, 2015, speaking before the start of the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Martin Winterkorn, Volkswagen’s CEO did not contest the notice of violation issued by the US Environmental Protection Association [the EPA] alleging that many models of Volkswagen ‘clean’ diesel cars are equipped with this software.

This means that while being driven normally, these cars spew as much as 40 times the pollution allowed under the US Clean Air Act. Mr. Winterkorn is reported as saying he is: “personally … deeply sorry that we have broken the trust of our customers and

the public…[and] we will do everything necessary to reverse the damage this has caused.”

California having issued its own notice of violation, reports say that the EPA, the US Justice Department, and California will together be investigating these allegations.

Recalls could cover 4-cylinder diesel Volkswagen and Audi vehicles from the model years 2009 to 2015, including the Volkswagen Jetta, Beetle, Golf, Passat, and Audi A3—roughly 482,000 diesel passenger cars in total.

Volkswagen spokesman, John Schilling said that immediately the company will stop selling 2015 and 2016 Volkswagen and Audi models equipped with 4-cylinder turbo diesel engines, which the company has marketed as “clean diesel.” The company will also stop selling certified pre-owned or used cars with these engines. While the actual number of unsaleable vehicles is unclear, in early September 2015, Volkswagen said 23% of new cars sold in the US in August were diesels or 7,400 vehicles.

Volkswagen is facing a fine under the US Clean Air Act of up to $18 billion based on a $37,500 fine for each recalled vehicle.

Reports also say the company has heard from the US Justice Department, which the EPA has said, “could pursue criminal prosecution.” Mr. Winterkorn, having only recently survived a power struggle with the chairman of Volkswagen’s supervisory board, Mr. Ferdinand Piëch, is expected to be further weakened by this.

There are also some predictions that this case “could damage all German automakers, which have tried to build acceptance in the United States for diesel engines, a sector in which they believe they have a technological lead.” Still, we might guess that this crisis, so called, is more a matter of excitement in the press than a lasting concern to the motoring public.

sands of Syrian people fleeing their country” and “1.5 million Nigerians forced from their homes by Boko Haram.”

“Canada cannot sit on the sidelines and watch these atrocities continue,” the former Surrey mayor said. “I decided to run for the Conservative Party because they are the only party that has taken a stand against this type of violence and terrorism.

“ISIS has clearly declared Canada as a target for terrorism.”

After hearing from upset residents, Higginbotham and NDP candidate Pixie Hobby – while attacking the cards as “fear-mongering” – had expressed doubts that the tone of the message had been endorsed by Watts.

PAN heard from several sources that complaining residents had been told by workers at Watts’ campaign office that she had not originated or endorsed the card message.

Watts was not available to PAN for a direct interview, however the Globe & Mail quoted her as saying the flyer was generated and mailed by the Conservative party in Ottawa.

In her written statement, she offered the death of Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Quebec in 2014, and a foiled attempt to bomb the B.C. legislature in 2013, as specific examples of terrorism directed against Canada.

Man in critical condition from rollover truck crash ▶ CEMENT PUMPER ROARED THROUGH INTERSECTIONS BEFORE ROLLING INTO DITCH KEVIN DIAKIW

A man is in critical condition and major roads in Surrey were shut down after a dramatic truck crash Wednesday.

Police say he was the only one hurt in an accident that could have been much worse.

On Sept. 23 at about 6 a.m., a cement pumper was heading southbound on King George Boulevard just north of Highway 10 when it veered off the

road and swiped a bus stop.

Fortunately, no one was at the bus stop.

The pumper then thundered across Highway 10, hitting two vehicles. The occupants of those cars escaped injury.

The pumper then continued southbound down King George, jumped the median, and headed into oncoming traffic traveling north, somehow avoiding a collision with other vehicles.

The truck then jumped the median again, returning into southbound lanes on King George and rolled over into a ditch.

The driver of the pumper was extricated from the vehi-

cle and an attempt was made to airlift him to hospital.

However, that was interrupted, as crews began CPR on the driver.

He was transported by ambulance to hospital where he remained in critical condition on Wednesday.

The cause of the accident is not yet known, but excessive speed and intoxicants are not believed to be factors.

King George Boulvevard was closed for several hours in both directions near Highway 10, and police said they expected to close a stretch of Highway 10 briefly on Wednesday afternoon during the investigation.

Surrey man arrested in cabbie attack ▶ JESSIE FARRAR, 22, FACES ASSAULT AND ROBBERY CHARGES IN RELATION TO A JUNE INCIDENT KEVIN DIAKIW

A man has been arrested in relation to an armed attack on a taxi driver three months ago.

On June 21, at about 5:30 a.m., a cabbie said he picked up a fare at about 108 Avenue and 144 Street in North Surrey.

He drove a few blocks when the passenger attacked the driver and stabbed him in the arm and hand with a knife.

The attacker took the driver’s wallet and cellphone.

The driver got out and was assisted by passers by.

Jessie Farrar, 22, from Surrey, has now been arrested and charged with one count each of robbery, assault and assault causing bodily harm.

He was located and arrested out of province on a Canada-wide warrant.

“Our robbery investigators received a number of tips from the public which aided them in corroborating the identity of the accused in this inves-

tigation,” RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said in a release.

Environment a priority Plans to expand Campbell Heights business park as far south as 10 Avenue could devastate the natural landscape of the area.

Surrey council has endorsed preparation of a local area plan for South Campbell Heights, which runs from 188 Street to the Langley border, and from 20 Avenue to about 10 Avenue.

The 245 hectares (600 acres) is mainly mature forest, with a significant portion cleared farmland. It is immediately south of the existing Campbell Heights business park.

Another area east of the park, going as far north as 28 Avenue and immediately west of the Langley border, is also under study. It is 97 hectares (240 acres) in size.

Taken together, the two areas are about 85 per cent of the size of Stanley Park and are significantly larger than Green Timbers.

Any major development in this area will have a devastating effect on the environment. That is made abundantly clear by a consultant’s report.

What follows are a number of the points identified by Madrone Environmental Services.

There are hundreds of mature trees, many of which are 100 years old. In particular, there are significant numbers of red cedar and Douglas fir. These trees not only retain water, provide clean air and give wildlife cover, but are also a natural asset. Almost all

of the trees that once existed in the built-up portion of Campbell Heights north of 20 Avenue have been taken down – tens of thousands of them. They have not been replaced.

The Brookswood Aquifer, which supplies most of the water for residents immediately east of Surrey in the Brookswood and Fernridge area of Langley, and some water to nearby Surrey residents who are on wells, is “highly vulnerable to contamination from surface sources.”

The report says it “is nearing or at capacity to provide domestic water without decreasing the water table.” The aquifer would be affected significantly if buildings and pavement covered most of the land in question.

The watercourses in the area drain into the Little Campbell River, which has thus far been spared from the effects of massive urbanization. It remains a diverse waterway and contains many species of fish.

There are at least 13 species of various animals at risk in the area, and the report makes it clear not a lot is known about some of them.

Does all of that mean that there should be no development at all in the area? That’s a difficult question to answer and perhaps it is too early to do so. There is significant demand for industrial and commercial land.

However, the earlier develop-

ment of Campbell Heights was done without much regard for the environment. It attracted widespread criticism both inside and outside Surrey, and former mayor Dianne Watts vowed to do things differently.

Her Surrey First party now holds every seat on council, so it will be interesting to see if the nine members of council believe in protecting the environmental features of the area.

Coun. Tom Gill has already suggested one portion of land within the local area plan be earmarked for a truck parking and maintenance area. An application for such a facility in the 19400 block of 16 Avenue has been made – very close to the Little Campbell River. It would include truck washing, a mechanics shop, tire shop and other amenities.

There is a definite need for such a facility, and having one near Campbell Heights certainly makes sense. However, it is worrying that such a proposal is being championed just as the local area plan is getting underway.

The large area covered by the proposed area plan is not a park and some of it will inevitably be developed. But any development must proceed slowly and carefully. The significant environmental factors in the area must be respected.

CIRCULATION MANAGER Sherri Hemery 604-575-5312 sherri@surreyleader.com

As a former resident of Surrey and a current Langley Township resident, I have watched the systematic (or random) destruction of agriculture for the almighty developer. While I don’t like scraping the land clear for developing, I concede it’s inevitable as municipalities grow.

But Surrey Coun. Tom Gill is going too far with his new proposal. At risk is one of the city’s true natural gems – the Little Campbell River – for not a school, or even housing… but for a large truck parking lot. So every old dump truck can sit there and leak oil and fluids and kill any and all habitat that lives around it. Gill is trying to push it through fast because of “need” as he calls it. I call it rushing a horrible idea before anyone notices.

B.C. civic leaders heard conflicting views Monday on whether Vancouver’s renegade approach to regulating marijuana retail stores – in defiance of federal government opposition – is legally defensible and a viable option for other communities.

Legal experts speaking to a forum on pot regulation at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention agreed the storefront sale of marijuana is illegal in Canada.

But municipal lawyer Francesca Marzari said Vancouver is within its rights to set and enforce civic standards for pot stores that aren’t shut down by police, who in Vancouver don’t consider them a policing priority as long as they don’t sell to youth or have ties to organized crime.

Tonia Winchester, a former Seattle prosecutor who cochaired Washington’s successful legalization initiative, said Vancouver has been thrust into the position, as her state was,

She noted U.S. federal authorities have not cracked down on Washington’s retail pot system even though marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

But franchise lawyer Tony Wilson cautioned Vancouver’s system remains fraught with risks for both the city and others.

He said marijuana storefronts are breaking the law, regardless of whether they sell pot from illegal growops or from licensed medical producers, whose product can only be obtained by mail order.

That puts landlords at risk of their buildings being confiscated under civil forfeiture law, said Wilson, who suggested Vancouver’s steep $30,000 licensing fee might even be seen as proceeds of crime, making the city a “conspirator in illegal drug trafficking.”

Landlords who rent to weed merchants have also had difficulty obtaining insurance, sometimes for the entire building or strip mall, he added.

Washington State, which legalized recreational marijuana sales in a 2012 referendum, now has 250 licensed producers and 137 retail stores.

The state has taken in $64 million in tax on marijuana so far in 2015, Winchester said.

Canada’s federal government has tried to outlaw home growing by permitted medical marijuana patients, but it continues pending a court decision.

Other municipalities continue to grapple with where to allow new federally licensed medical marijuana producers, which are to sell only by mail order to doctor-approved patients.

Six such producers are already licensed in B.C., including Tilray in Nanaimo, whose application Winchester stickhandled.

Many more are proposed, including nine in Maple Ridge alone, and one on First Nations land near Penticton. Municipalities continue to worry they will unnecessarily industrialize good agricultural land.

The entire pot regulation landscape could shift again, some panelists suggested, if the federal Conservative government is

The animals were suffering from severe malnutrition and had been living without proper access to food, water or shelter.

But thanks to intensive care they’ve received during the past month, they’ve recovered from malnutrition and medical issues and are now ready to be adopted into loving new homes.

All 16 horses are part of an upcoming adopta-thon in Cloverdale hosted by the BC SPCA’s cruelty investigations department.

There will also be llamas, ducks, chickens, geese, and a donkey and goat at the adopta-thon.

done and fentanyl.

In recent months, there have been several overdoses of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opiate which dealers are adding to heroin.

Fatalities have been prevented with the use of paramedic-administered Nalaxone.

For safety, police often go to 911 calls first, while medical crews take up a position a safe distance away.

Because they are often the first responders, Surrey Mounties are now proposing training for officers to inject the drug.

The plan to launch a pilot project in Surrey is still in its infancy.

Details are still being finalized.

OPEN HOUSE

West Village Park Open House Please join us for a Public Open House and help design your new park.

West Village Park (preliminary name) is a new park site located in Surrey City Centre, on 133rd Street, south of 104th Avenue. This new park will provide a contemporary urban place for the community to enjoy the outdoors. The site is also the future home of a district energy centre, which will provide surrounding buildings with a sustainable supply of hot water heating.

Staff will be available to provide information about the project, receive community feedback and answer questions regarding potential plans.

The information gathered at this meeting will be used to revise the plans for this project.

Date and Location: Place: Surrey City Hall – Main Atrium 13450 104 Avenue, Surrey Date: Thursday, October 1, 2015 Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

If you have any questions please email parksrecculture@surrey.ca or call 604-501-5050. We look forward to hearing from you regarding this new park.

but were the only occupants of the apartment, were both charged with numerous firearms offences.

Ley pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of firearms and was sentenced.

Wiwchar, 30, was convicted in June on nine counts and was sentenced earlier this week (Sept. 21) in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

The restricted firearms found in the Surrey apartment included: a Sig Sauer, Colt, Ruger and Norinco pistol and a .44 Magnum handgun. The prohibited firearms included an H & K semi-automatic pistol, a .38 calibre pistol, an Uzi sub-machine gun,

a Romanian rifle, and a Taurus pistol.

Police also found two more firearms in his Vancouver apartment a month later.

In the Sept. 21 sentencing decision, Justice Gregory Bowden called the weapons offences “grave,” ruling Wiwchar should spend 10 years in jail.

“The fact that the Surrey apartment was a safe-house together with the suspicious activity of Mr. Wiwchar in coming to and going from that apartment strongly suggests an aura of criminality around the possession of the firearms at that location,” said Bowden.

“At his Vancouver residence, Mr. Wiwchar had a loaded restricted

Minimum wage up 20 cents BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s minimum wage has risen 20 cents to $10.45 an hour, the first annual increase since the the provincial government tied it to the B.C. consumer price index.

It’s the first increase since 2012, when the wage was increased to $10.25. For restaurant and pub servers, the minimum wage rises from $9 to $9.20.

NDP labour critic Shane Simpson called the increase “dismal” and “paltry.”

B.C. Federation of Labour president Irene Lanzinger said by the end of 2015, B.C. will have the second lowest minimum wage in Canada.

“Seattle will reach $15 an hour by 2017.”

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? for most people.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Sears Hearing Centre is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.771.7459.

TIPS FOR BUYING “While location continues to be a standard for purchase, more families are also considering a home’s proximity to services valuable to them: shopping centres, grocery stores, recreational facilities, and restaurants.” Michael Trites

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

What to keep in mind when buying a home

By Nicolle Hodges

One of the first mentions of “location, location, location,” can be traced back to a real estate classified ad in the Chicago Tribune in 1926. While it’s still a mystery who coined the phrase, more interesting is that nearly 90 years later it still rings true.

New or experienced homebuyers may begin looking for a home for a variety of purposes, including downsizing, relocating, or their growing family. Regardless of the reason there are important factors to bear in mind before closing a sale. While location continues to be a standard for purchase, more families are also considering a home’s proximity to services valuable to them: shopping centres, grocery stores, recreational facilities, and restaurants.

Michael Trites, managing broker and sales associate at Royal LePage Northstar Realty says homebuyers need to be aware of what the likelihood of a major rezoning or transportation expansion occurring in their area of interest.

“Rapid transit routes are planned years in advance so it’s important to verify what is planned by the various government agencies,” he says. “Rezoning to higher density housing in the future can increase usage of schools and recreation facilities beyond their present capacity.”

He adds that most buyers have narrowed down the possible styles of a home that are important to them, so next to keep in mind is the quality of renovations.

“Poorly done renovations often entail major work and expense to correct, and if completed without permits, can also be a material latent defect which has to be disclosed to a buyer prior to their preparing an offer to purchase.”

An example of a material latent defect is a defect that cannot be discovered through an inspection, such as improper framing or building construction not done to building code and hidden behind walls or floors. Non-disclosure of a grow op could also be considered a latent defect due to possible mold or electrical issues.

A patent defect is one that is discoverable through inspection, such as water in a crawl space, water stains on a ceiling, and cracks in flooring or foundation.

From the inner workings of a home to how it’s staged, should there be a “top priority” checklist when looking to buy, and if so, what should be on it?

Trites says the home buyer will likely have created their own wish list of ‘must haves’ and ‘want to haves’ to be included in their new home, and a REALTOR® will have their own standard clauses as subjects for offers that they

instead of a friend or relative, ask your REALTOR® to provide you with a sample contract of purchase and sale so you can review the standard clauses prior to actually making an offer on a property.”

Whether you are an experienced buyer or still green to the housing market, it’s important to use the head and not the heart when it comes to buying a home, to not overextend yourself financially. “[A buyer] may absolutely love the home, but the costs associated to purchase and maintain it could restrict their existing lifestyle to the point of being ‘house poor,’” says Trites.

“Purchase within your comfort level and view homes that fit that criteria.”

The bottom line is that Real Estate has always been considered a long-term investment, and it’s likely to rise and fall many times over its lifetime.

Trites says that once [a home] is paid for, it’s yours, as opposed to renting for the long term.

Buy what you can afford and realize the market has factors that drive it, most of which are beyond our control.

Crime top of mind in hard-hit area ▶ RIDING PROFILE: SURREY-NEWTON KEVIN DIAKIW

The first of a series: Starting today and for the next five print editions, The Leader will shine a spotlight on candidates in each of this area’s six federal ridings: Surrey-Newton, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Surrey-Centre, Cloverdale-Langley City, South Surrey-White Rock and Delta.

the talk.”

He also believes courts need to focus on those who are causing the real trouble on our streets.

“We’ve got to lock up the real criminals, not the first-time minor crimes… those that pose little safety risk to the society.”

Dhaliwal, who lives just outside the riding, was the Member of Parliament from 2006 to 2011 in Newton-North Delta (the riding before the boundaries were re-drawn).

“My record on crime is pretty clear. It doesn’t matter which party brought in a bill on crime, I always supported that bill,” Dhaliwal says.

He also plans to bolster funding for community-based programming that would keep kids away from criminal activity.

As for the city’s rapid growth, Dhaliwal says the federal government needs to do more, including delivering funds for Surrey’s LRT (Light Rail Transit) project.

The Liberals are promising $125 billion for transportation over the next 10 years, with $20 billion of that earmarked specifically for public transit.

“That is going to benefit municipalities like Surrey right away,” Dhaliwal says.

Noting there are 170,000 fewer younger people (aged 25 years or younger) working today in Canada than prior to 2008, Dhaliwal says the Liberal plan is to provide $500 million in annual funding for labour market agreements with the provinces.

“So, making sure that all technical tradespeople have the essential tools and resources that we can (give) them.”

In addition, he says the Liberals would put $300 million toward youth employment strategies.

He also wants to take measures to support the middle-class, including a seven-percent tax cut for families earning between $44,701 and $89,401 annually.

“It means a couple would get $1,350 (on average) more into their pockets (annually),” Dhaliwal says, noting to achieve that, an increase for high-income earners is required.

“We will increase the taxes for those earning $200,000 or more (annually).”

A family earning less than $150,000 a year will receive more child tax benefits, he says.

“For example, a family with two children, earning $90,000 per year, will receive $2,500 more per year, and it will be taxfree,” Dhaliwal says.

Few places in Surrey can claim crime as an issue with the same authority as Newton.

The community has been embattled with a level of violent crime the likes of which has been seen nowhere else in the city.

From the brutal murder of a hockey mom outside a civic arena in 2013, to multiple midday gun fights between two groups warring for drug turf in recent months – Newton has seen it all.

It’s no surprise that candidates heading into this upcoming federal election see public safety as the most important issue facing the riding of Surrey-Newton.

Conservative candidate for Surrey-Newton Harpreet Singh says crime is far and away the top issue being discussed on the doorstep. The 47-year-old radio and TV host says he’s been to more than 18,000 homes in the riding.

RIDING FACTS: “Prevention of crime is on everybody’s list,” ▶ Population: 105,180 ▶ Median age: 35 ▶ Those older than 15: 79.2% Singh says. “Especially the increasing use of drugs.” ▶ Married or living common law: 52,190 ▶ Not married or common law: Singh says he would take a three-pronged 31,110 ▶ Average number of people per family: 3.4 ▶ Private households: approach to solving the problem in Newton.

“These groups, which claim to be representing different ethnic groups, they get funding from the government but they just spend it on their own.”

Singh vows he would ensure that funding received would not just be spent on one ethnic group, but would be used to help people of different ethnic origins get to know one another.

Separation breeds fear, he says, causing some to act out. If fear is NDP (Incumbent) LIBERAL GREEN reduced, he reasons, crime would CONSERVATIVE Jinny Sims Sukh Dhaliwal Pamela Sangha Harpreet Singh drop.

NDP MP Jinny Sims, who took the riding from Dhaliwal in 2011, says the top issue in the riding is affordability.

The former high school teacher, 63, says there are families struggling to make ends meet.

“For me, it’s about good-paying jobs,” Sims says, adding people are also talking about child care, and how expensive it is.

“That’s why I’m proud we have announced $15 a day for child care.” continued on page 21

▶ AFFORDABILITY, JOBS AND ECONOMY ON RADAR from page 20

She says that for every dollar spent on child care, two additional dollars come back into the economy.

As well as being home to thousands of families, Surrey-Newton is dense with small businesses.

Being the engine of the economy, Sims says the NDP will lower the tax rate for small business.

“The other thing is we seem to be losing the decent-paying jobs in Canada. We seem to be shipping out our resources, whether that’s logs or other resources,” she says.

Even people who have a well-paying job right now are worried about their children, Sims points out.

“Where are the jobs going to be for them?”

Major investment in manufacturing will be key in addressing that, she believes. She also adds the NDP has vowed to return one per cent of the federal gas tax to municipalities.

“Municipalities know they need investment in infrastructure, that’s been one of their loudest demands.”

Transit funding is also a perennial issue with Surrey that needs to be addressed.

“We have committed to investing $1.3 billion per year, over 20 years, to support the municipal needs,” Sims says.

Add to that a direct transfer to municipalities to build and repair roads, with an additional $1.5 billion annually until the next election.

“By year four, the NDP’s plan will create 54,000 construction, manufacturing and transit operation jobs across the country and add $4.5 billion to Canada’s GDP,” Sims says.

million over the next four years to attract new RCMP recruits.

After that, the party will invest $100 million annually in the federal police force.

“It has to be sustainable,” Sims says. “You don’t just recruit new officers and then stop doing that.”

And while more resources for are needed, that’s only part of the solution, she says.

“We’ve also got to look at serious investment in education, early intervention, rehabilitation and mental health issues,” Sims says. “Because if we don’t do that, then we really are not helping the most vulnerable out there.”

She also favours the so-called “broken-window theory” to crime reduction. That is, making sure the riding has an infrastructure that’s clean and functional, and then petty crime is less likely to occur.

When petty crime fails to take root, serious crime also fails to get a foothold.

Sims said the third most important issue in Surrey-Newton is the state of health care.

“Five million Canadians don’t have a family doctor. That is a huge number,” Sims says.

The NDP has promised it will provide longterm stable funding and will focus on doctor recruitment and training.

“Right now, we have people who want to go into medicine who have to go overseas, because we don’t have spaces here,” Sims says.

She ads the party also wants to help the prov-

The NDP also plans to cap ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) fees at 50 cents and will work with banks to get them to offer a no-frills credit card with an interest rate of just five per cent over prime rate.

She also says the NDP has committed to create a national housing strategy, “otherwise you are just flying in the dark.”

Next in order of importance for Sims is public safety.

The gun violence in Newton has affected nearly everyone.

“Either they are a neighbour, or they know a witness, or they’ve lost a relative, or they relive a trauma associated with a previous shooting,” Sims says.

“I’m worried about the toll this is taking on this community that seems to be living on the edge.”

The NDP has announced a national plan for safer communities through investment in more front-line police officers.

The NDP will re-establish the federal Police Officer Recruitment Fund that was cancelled, and will invest $250

inces hire 7,000 doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health care workers.

The NDP has also announced investment in home care for an additional 41,000 seniors, along with another 5,000 nursing home beds and an investment of $300 million to help build 200 clinics across the country.

“We have committed to launching a $40-million National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Strategy,” she says, bringing more screening, early detection and treatment.

To ensure its effectiveness, the NDP would create a “Canadian Alzheimer’s and Dementia Partnership,” which would put the provinces and specialists in the same room to find solutions.

Green party candidate for the riding, Pamela Sangha, feels the top issue facing Surrey-Newton is guns, gangs and violence.

She points to the number of shootings in recent months as proof that the problem is out of control.

She’s says more than

just police boots on the ground is needed.

She wants to see more early intervention and mentoring programs for youth to stem the tide of violence before it starts.

The 26-year-old salesperson has lived in Newton all her life.

“We need to get into elementary schools and high schools and implement mentorship programs,” Sangha says.

She wants “community heroes” to come into the schools and work with kids.

She says the Green party wants to abolish tuition fees, so students from all walks of life can continue their schooling.

Sangha also wants to also implement a “return-a-gun” program that is consequence-free.

Her second-tier issue is the cost of pharmaceuticals.

“If we implemented a pharmacare strategy (which would pay for all drugs), it would save country $11 billion a year,” Sangha says.

“Newton is full of a lot of seniors and I just think it’s important that they have access to the medication they need.”

Her third most-important issue is afford-

ability in general.

“I understand… it’s difficult to come out of a four-year degree and not have any experience to get an entry-level position,” she says, adding paying down student debt becomes a “huge issue.”

“The Green party platform talks about sustainable jobs, abolishing tuition fees, and I think it’s really important that these things get implemented.”

She noted it’s crucial to have young voices in Ottawa.

“We just need to have people our age represented in the House of Commons, because we’re going to see the ramifications of the decisions that are made today.”

The election will be held on Monday, Oct. 19.

These were the confirmed candidates for the Surrey-Newton riding at The Leader’s press deadline.

Filmmaker Deepa Mehta at Surrey screening Vansh Bhardwaj. The film was released in India dubbed into Hindi under the title Videsh.

Earth, which was adapted from Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel, Cracking India, premiered

at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival. It was set amongst the catastrophic turmoil that accompanied the 1947 partition of India from Pakistan.

Mehta’s films have

received significant awards and recognition at major film festivals and have been distributed around the world.

In 2012, Mehta received a lifetime

Artistic Achievement Award for Film from the Governor General of Canada. In 2013, she was appointed to the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada for her work.

This year’s VIFF will feature Mehta’s latest film Beeba Boys, Vancouver’s answer to Goodfellas.

VIFF takes place in Vancouver until Oct. 9 at various venues,

BLACK PRESS

This year’s Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) will include a special appearance by noted Indian filmmaker Deepa Mehta and the screening of her films at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus on Monday (Sept. 28).

Presented by VIFF, SFU Woodward’s Cultural programs and the Surrey campus, the event will include a live interview with the Oscar-nominated screenwriter, director and producer, prior to the screening of two films – Heaven on Earth and Earth.

Indira Prahst, past and acting chair of Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Langara College and board member of the South Asian Film Education Society, will moderate the session.

Considered one of the most provocative and exciting new directors to make her mark on world cinema at the turn of the millennium, the Toronto-based filmmaker is known for her rich, complex explorations of the cultural taboos and tensions at play in the society of her native India.

Beginning with the controversial film Fire in 1996, Mehta embarked on her ambitious trilogy of the elements: fire, earth and water. Earth, the trilogy’s second instalment, was released in 1998.

Born in India in 1950, Mehta received a degree in philosophy from the University of New Delhi. After immigrating to Canada in 1973, she embarked on her professional cinematic career as a scriptwriter for children’s films, and in 1991, she made her feature-film debut as a director and producer with Sam & Me. Heaven on Earth a.k.a. Videsh is a 2008 Canadian film directed and written by Mehta.

title last year with the Portage Terriers – has simply been victim of some bad luck early in the season.

“Justin has been tremendous for us, and Daniel’s played great, too. But if we scored as much with Justin in net as we have so far for Daniel, I think we’d probably be 3-1 instead of 1-3. He’s been great,”

weekend this year.

“I think it’s better to have it a few games in.

You know your team a little bit better by that point, and guys are playing better,” Neufeld said.

On Thursday at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, the Eagles faced off against the Merritt Centennials, and tonight (Friday) will play the Powell River Kings.

Surrey Eagles’ goaltender Justin LaForest makes a stop on Penticton Vees’ forward Demico Hannoun – a former Surrey Eagle – during Friday’s game at South Surrey Arena. Penticton won the game, 6-2, but the Eagles rebounded Sunday with a victory over the Prince George Spruce Kings. GARRETT JAMES the first two weekends of the schedule was not a palatable one.

“I was happy with our leadership group. The guys held a players-only meeting on Sunday morning – they didn’t want to let things drag on, and were desperate to get a win.

“They came out and played well. We took a few too many penalties, maybe, but five-on-five

I thought we controlled the play… you don’t want to let a close game like that slip away.”

In addition to his team’s offensive output on Sunday – after his team’s opening weekend, Neufeld had expressed concern that his team wasn’t burying their chances – the second-year bench boss was also impressed with his two netminders.

Daniel Davidson was between the pipes Sunday, stopping 41 of 42 shots to earn the win, while 20-year-old Justin LaForest – one of the team’s marquee off-season additions – stopped 32 shots against Penticton, despite giving up six goals.

The Surrey Ea gles have made their way into the win column, thanks to a third-period push Sunday against the Prince George Spruce Kings.

The Eagles, who sport a 1-3 record through the first two weeks of the BC Hockey League regular season, edged the division-rival Kings 4-1 at South Surrey Arena, after a three-goal outburst in the final frame broke what until that point had been a 1-1 deadlock.

The win broke a threegame losing streak for the Birds, who’d lost another home tilt Friday, 6-2 to the Penticton Vees.

On Friday, the two clubs were tied 1-1 after the opening 20 minutes – Chris Gerrie opened the scoring for the Vees, but Surrey’s Matthew Hermary replied 15 minutes later – but in the second, Penticton scored three times in a span of 2:53 to blow the game open.

“It was a good weekend for us,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld.

“We came out with intensity, and I thought we played well against Penticton, except for about a three-minute stretch where we fell asleep – and against a highly skilled team like that, it’ll cost you.”

On Sunday, Matthew Hermary gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead just three minutes into the third, and less than three minutes later, Darius Davidson scored a power-play marker to give his team a two-goal cushion.

At the end of the period, Davidson scored again, this time into an empty net. The second-year forward leads the team – and is tied for third in the BCHL – with four goals in four games.

“Darius is playing really well for us. We look to him to score and so far, so good,” Neufeld said.

Paul McAvoy scored Surrey’s other goal, a shorthanded effort near the end of the second period.

Neufeld gave credit to his troops for rebounding after the Friday defeat, and said the idea of going winless through

Neufeld said.

The Eagles – and the rest of the league – now shift focus on this week’s BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack.

In previous years, the event – created to gives scouts the chance to see all the league’s top players in one place – has been held on opening weekend, but was shifted to the season’s third

TOP TEN REASONS YOUR HOME IS NOT SELLING

STABILITY IN BC The Real Estate Market in BC is a mind-boggling, unpredictable, Canadian anomaly that baffles most people. It seems as though doomsday analysts continue to be wrong in predicting the demise of our robust market. BC is in a surplus and growth is fuelled by several factors including, foreign investment and an influx of people from different parts of Canada and the World. Rates are still at an all-time low and Buyers’ are urged to take advantage of this reality instead of betting on a demise. Simply put, don’t be a doomsday analyst as all economic factors point to only one conclusion, STABILITY IN BC.

1. Price. This seems like the most obvious reason but, it’s not as simple as it seems. In a market where prices seem to be going up every week, you need the right guidance from an experienced Realtor.

Anyone can stick a sign on your lawn but, only an experienced professional will have a SOLD sticker on it.

2. Pictures. We have all seen that incorrectly marketed property that has pictures taken from the owners’ smartphone. You need a professional photographer to capture, or create, the beauty that is your home. The first impression means everything.

3. Clutter. Day to day living makes it hard to have your home show ready all the time but, if you have committed to selling and you want top dollar then suck it up buttercup. A short term storage rental might cost you a few dollars but, often results in a higher sale price with a show ready home that is de-cluttered.

4. Online Marketing. The world of technology changes fast and statistically over 80% of today’s Buyers’ search the internet first. Your home has to be properly marketed on all platforms including the MLS, YouTube, Facebook and Craigslist, to mention only a few. Experienced professional Realtors utilize these and many other marketing tools to sell homes.

5. Touch-Ups. Your home might be priced right, in the right area and marketed properly but, if there are minor deficiencies or

touch ups that haven’t been addressed then you could have a tough time getting the price you deserve. Hire a handyman or, better yet, ask your Realtor to refer you to qualified people that will not break the bank.

6. Curb Appeal. This one is often overlooked but, can’t be emphasized enough. Most Buyers want to feel an emotional connection when they purchase a home. The front of your home needs to exude positive energy and has to be landscaped, bright, clean and welcoming to do so. A few dollars spent can go a long way.

7. Hovering Sellers. When you let someone in to view your home when it is for sale, the best thing to do is say hello and leave. Often Sellers feel that they have to tell potential Buyers about every last detail. Your Realtor (hopefully you’ve hired one) will either inform a Buyers’ Realtor of all the additions, will point those out when the time is right and will add that into the listing comments. Even if you have to step outside for a few minutes, it is always better than staying in the house.

8. Wrong Realtor. A common mistake in this market is thinking that you can hire the cheapest, most inexperienced Realtor and your home will sell. The biggest challenge in this market is not only selling your home but, selling it for top dollar. An experienced, top producing Realtor will sell your home for a better price. That is a fact.

9. You Are Not Serious. Sometimes people see the money that they can make when selling their home and fail to factor in all variables. Make sure to weigh all options before you make the decision to save yourself time and money.

10. No or Low-Commission Realtor. We have saved the most crucial for last. So, you’ve cleaned, de-cluttered, landscaped to give it curb appeal and have your home ready to sell. If you think that the best decision is to try to market it yourself and advertise it on a ‘for sale by owner’ site then good luck. It is common knowledge that even a creator of one of the most well-known ‘for sale by owner’ websites sold his property through a Realtor. There’s a reason. Also, if you have decided to hire a low commission Realtor, does your low commission Realtor offer a Buyers’ Realtor the current market rate commission? If not, then expect to encounter obstacles in your sale. Not working with a qualified, full time Realtor and not paying the regular commission does statistically result in a lower sale price.
