Surrey Fire Service honours merit, valour of Nicomekl car crash helpers Tricia Weel Black Press Media

When a collision sent a vehicle into the Nicomekl River last month, several people acted right away to help, saving the driver’s life.

Surrey Fire Chief Larry Thomas honoured them with awards of merit and valour at the most recent city council meeting on June 19, after explaining Surrey Fire Service (SFS) awards and commendations are designed to celebrate the efforts of citizens and first responders during extraordinary circumstances.

“Too often we only hear about negative things in the media these days,” he said.

“The granting of an award is a tangible and lasting way to recognize staff whose actions go above and beyond the call of duty, and citizens who provide assistance to the SFS that exceeds their normal civic duty.”

On the afternoon of May 7, 2023, a motor vehicle incident resulted in a vehicle becoming submerged in the Nicomekl River, Thomas told those gathered in council chambers.

First on scene were off-duty Burnaby firefighter Paul Rushton and Surrey lifeguard Heather Jones. Rushton was the first person in the water and recognized the driver in the vehicle was in medical distress, Thomas said.

“Paul began rescue efforts on the entrapped patient while simultaneously trying to provide medical assistance. Heather joined Paul at the vehicle and assisted in these efforts, while also attending to the second person in the vehicle,” he said.

“Constable Steve Dalton was the first RCMP member on scene. He swam to the vehicle and assisted with extraction and providing first aid until additional emergency services personnel arrived,” said Thomas.

“These individuals came together despite the unusual patient location, personal danger and the risks involved to make a difference for these patients. They undoubtedly saved (the driver’s) life that day,” he said.

The SFS Award of Merit is for citizens and recognizes the effort to assist first responders in effort to bring aid to a patient in hazardous conditions, he continued, before saying it was his honour to award Rushton and Jones with the Award of merit.

“The award of valour for first responders recognizes an exceptional act of bravery under hazardous, life-threatening conditions to save the life of another by actions which go beyond what are ordinarily expected,” Thomas said.

Surrey getting more school space to address over-crowding Sobia Moman Black Press Media

A new elementary school is under construction in Surrey and a few existing schools in the district are getting additions, in an effort to help relieve school overcrowding in the area.

In a press conference June 19 in Surrey, Education Minister Rachna Singh gave an update on Ta’talu Elementary – a new school under construction at 20 Avenue and 165A Street in the Sunnyside neighbourhood.

“As more families choose to make this community their home, we will continue to make progress in delivering new and expanded schools for Surrey students,” Singh said.

Also announced was funding for Guildford Park and Tamanawis Secondary schools’ expansions.

Guildford Park will be getting 18 additional classrooms with the provincial government’s investment of $59.5 million and Tamanawis will be getting 23 more classrooms with

The name of the new South Surrey school expected to open in January 2025, Ta’talu, was given

by Semiahmoo First Nation Chief Harley Chappell. Ta’talu translates

to ‘little arms’ which is in reference to the Campbell River and its tributaries, which are known as the little arms of the river.

“The opening of this school and the naming using the traditional

“Since construction began on Ta’talu Elementary in 2022, we’ve seen ongoing, rapid residential growth in this neighbourhood,” said Laurie Larsen, Surrey school board chair.

Nearby South Surrey schools are feeling the pressure of increasing population, with Edgewood Elementary getting a total of 15 portables in September, an increase from the current eight.

Sunnyside Elementary got an addition of 10 classrooms, which opened in November 2022, elim-

inating six portables, which are being moved to a different school site that needs the extra space.

Additions at South Meridian and Semiahmoo Trail elementaries are in the works as well.

The former will see construction begin this summer of eight additional classrooms and the latter is set to get a 10-classroom expansion, with the capital project office “in the process of evaluating the bids” by construction companies, Dave Riley, director of capital plans, said at the regular June school board meeting.

According to Surrey school district data, Semiahmoo Trail Elementary has capacity for 275 students, but had 459 enrolled this school year.

It is the most crowded elementary school in the district, at 167 per cent for the 2022-23 school year.

Khangura has set her sights on a future in law enforcement, with the ultimate goal of becoming a homicide detective.

Teacher Melanie Scheuer said Khangura “is an exceptional student and young adult who is inquisitive, creative, and compassionate,” with “consistent and outstanding intelligence, advocacy, empathy, and leadership.”

Gill said he plans to specialize in civil engineering, as the field “offers a unique combination of creativity, technical expertise, and problem solving skills.”

He’s described as a “highly proficient student whose academic strengths include meticulously analyzing text and effectively expressing his ideas.”

Officials with the Surrey-based Cmolik Foundation said the teens were among more than 100 “very accomplished” students who applied for the funds.

“The candidates were both impressive and inspiring; it was certainly a difficult decision to narrow down our list to just 20 final students,” executive director Elisa Carlson said.

A handful of Surrey Grade 12s have received $45,000 boosts to their post-secondary education goals, as recipients of the latest Cmolik Foundation scholarships.

According to news releases issued June 18, the eight Surrey teens were among 20 selected for the award in recognition of achievements in overcoming adversity and excelling in their studies.

Recipients were Melissa Christianson (Earl Marriott Secondary), Raamin Hamid (École Salish Secondary), Rafay Meer (Panorama Ridge Secondary), Ishwarpreet Bains (L.A. Matheson Secondary), Krishna Verma (Johnston Heights Secondary), Amrit Mahli (Enver Creek Secondary), Diya Khangura (Frank Hurt Secondary) and Rohan Gill (Sullivan Heights Secondary).

For Christianson, the funds will assist her efforts to enter nursing. She chose the field, a release states, “because I want to help and care for others, and nursing offers the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Hamid said she plans to pursue a career in journal-

ism, “as I am someone who is intrigued by global affairs, politics and individuality.”

She is described by teacher Jeremy Thind as someone who “consistently strives for excellence” and is “responsible, kind, and inclusive.”

For Meer, the scholarship will go towards his dream of going to medical school.

School counsellor Eileen Mumford said in the release that Meer “is extraordinary and inspires his peers with his optimistic personality.”

Bains, meanwhile, plans to attend SFU and complete a degree in mechatronics engineering. Becoming an engineer “will allow me to create solutions to real world challenges and positively impact society and the environment,” he says in a release.

“This scholarship would play a critical role in helping me achieve my long-term goals and provide some financial relief for my family.”

Verma is described as “a driving force amongst a group of very high achievers.” He said he, too, aims to become a physician, “due to my fervent passion for helping people in need.”

For Mahli, the $45,000 will go towards her goal of practising family law. Her teacher said Mahli “has the integrity and confidence to succeed in

Our view

Be aware and be courteous

S

urrey’s traffic intersections, busy and not so busy, are becoming “I don’t care” zones, and it’s in everybody’s best interest to reverse this trend.

First, pedestrians.

Sure, you have the right of way on a crossing signal but this does not give you license to be a jerk. When the signal changes in your favour, look both ways, make certain no motorist is going to take you out on a right hand turn – this is where making eye contact with drivers is important – and then cross the street.

Don’t fiddle around with your phone at curbside, leaving motorists who are wanting to turn left hanging in the

middle of the intersection before you finally get around to crossing. And for goodness sake, stop looking at your phone when you’re crossing the street. It’ll be there when you safely get to the other side.

Be aware of your surroundings. Don’t cross like you’re a turtle or snail. Respect the drivers. In other words, don’t be a dummy, or an “I don’t care” pedestrian, or both.

Second, drivers – especially those turning right at an intersection.

Look both ways, not just at oncoming traffic. When the pedestrian has the right of way, respect that, however much you think some pedes-

trians are not worthy. Don’t try to sneak by them while they are in mid-street.

Do not try to sneak in a right turn before they step out into the crosswalk to cross.

This especially applies to gotto-go commercial truck drivers. You know who you are.

Don’t go blasting around corners. Respect the pedestrians.

In other words, don’t be a dummy, or an “I don’t care” driver, or both.

Be aware, be courteous.

For drivers, safety trumps hasty. And for pedestrians, once you’ve determined it’s safe, better to rush than be mush.

Contrast their positive efforts with the never-ending five-year battle over Surrey policing services, the much-delayed replacement of the Massey crossing, the at-times horrific conditions for staff and patients at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the inability of any level of government to either stimulate or provide enough housing or the worsening learning conditions in Surrey schools, due to overcrowding.

Volunteers are.

DEBATE Your letters

Policing tug of war is exhausting, embarrassing for Surrey The Editor, Under Surrey’s previous city council under Doug McCallum, I was disappointed that residents weren’t consulted before the decision was made to replace RCMP with Surrey Police Service.

Now I am disappointed again to see city council under Brenda Locke making the same mistake and neglecting to ask for residents’ opinions before stopping the transition to Surrey Police Service.

Both councils thought they have the right to make important decisions without any consideration of the 500,000 residents of Surrey.

What are tax applications on self-employed individuals?

If you’re self-employed and your business is not incorporated, you must file an individual tax return each year. You report your income as business or professional income. And you can dedudt business expenses.

Claiming your business expenses You can deduct most of the expenses that you incur to earn business income, as long as they’re realistic. Expenses, like meals and entertainment, you can only claim 50% of the actual amount spent.

For expenses with both a personal and a business component, you can only claim the business portion of these costs.

Capital property costs Capital property includes furniture, computer equipment or a building that you buy for business use only. You can write off those types of costs over time in the form of depreciation. Called a capital cost allowance (CCA).

Home office expenses You can deduct expenses for the business use of a workspace in your home if: • it is your main place of business, or • you use it only to earn your business income, and to meet clients, clients or patients on a regular and ongoing basis.

You can only deduct the business portion of these expenses. Use a “reasonable basis” to calculate the amount. For example, use the area of your work space divided by the total area of your home. This percentage of your work space from total area of your home is deductible.

Home expenses you can deduct If you own or rent your home, you can deduct the business portion of these expenses: 1. Your mortgage interest. This is the interest portion of your mortgage that you can deduct.

2. Property taxes 3. Capital cost allowance 4. Utilities

Q A

What is the difference between standard and precision dentures?

Denture materials can vary in quality and selection. Denture teeth come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, shades and degree of hardness. A standard denture is made using basic techniques, acrylics and materials, with limited tooth shapes and shades. Standard teeth tend to wear down at a faster rate (usually 5 years) and need to be replaced more frequently.

Precision dentures are made using high quality resins and composites, in combination with additional impression and bite procedures that are not included with standard fabrication. This leads to a better functioning, and longer lasting denture (usually 8-10 years).

Denturists have detailed knowledge of all your denture options.

Q A

What is the new Mortgage Services Act? In response to a rapid increase in private loans and mortgages, the BC government has recently announced changes to the laws regulating private lenders and mortgage brokers. The government is expecting to introduce the new Mortgage Services Act in late 2023.

The new Act will establish new rules and regulations to govern the mortgage industry in BC. In particular, the new Act will require all lenders to be licensed under the Act, unless they fall within an exemption. Mortgage brokers will also need to obtain their own distinct type of licence.

Additionally, the new Act will give the BC Financial Services Authority greater powers to create rules for controlling the licensing and conduct of mortgage brokers and lenders. BCFSA will be given increased powers to investigate, discipline, license and set standards of conduct, including significantly increasing fines for non-compliance, which will range between $50,000 to $2.5 million.

Although these new rules will not be introduced until late 2023, mortgage lenders and brokers should be aware of the changes that will take place and review their responsibilities under the new Act.

If you are a private lender or mortgage broker with questions related to the new laws or require help in navigating these pending changes, reach out to Aman Bindra at abindra@kswlawyers.ca or 604-591-7321 today.

Q A

What is CMA and why do we need one?

A comparative market analysis (CMA) is a report that estimates your home’s value by comparing it to similar properties that have recently sold.

Online home evaluations are quick and easy but they generally aren’t very accurate as they don’t take the finer details into account. It’s better to have a knowledgeable Realtor do a walkthrough so they can see your home firsthand.

The CMA report, which is usually complimentary and comes with no obligations, is essential to setting a competitive asking price. The right price is crucial to achieving a successful sale and is also helpful during negotiations as concrete facts will help justify your asking price.

In addition to homes that have recently sold in your area, your agent will research current homes on the market as well as homes that didn’t sell. It’s important to compare homes that are similar in stlye, square footage, etc. and to adjust for factors such as finished basements, double car garages and overall condition.

Please get in touch if you’re interested in a CMA to help give you a better idea of what your home’s currently worth. This will in turn help you get top dollar should you decide to sell as incorrectly pricing your home is a mistake that can end up costing you thosands of dollars and months of frustration.

A:

Court orders must be followed. Clients will sometimes say that this doesn’t seem necessary if both sides are in agreement.

Even if it seems like everyone agrees that the old Alison McMeans Lawyer order is no longer reasonable or necessary, later one person may deny ever deciding to do things a different way. Maybe there was a misunderstanding or maybe they have just changed their mind, but either way it is the person who is not following the court order who has to face the consequences.

If the circumstances have changed and the old order no longer makes sense, then you can both agree to a consent order to change the terms of the order to reflect your present situation. If the other party will agree to the change but won’t agree to sign an order making the change, you may want to ask whether you are both really in agreement. If you have any questions about what options are available when a court order no longer makes sense for your family, please feel free to contact me at Connect Family Law and we can discuss your options.

‘I acted at all times in good faith’

Three charged in mugging at SFU Surrey campus

Surrey Coun. Rob Stutt responds to allegations of conflict of interest after ethics commissioner releases report Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Surrey city councillor Rob Stutt has issued a statement concerning the ethics complaint that was lodged against him by the Surrey Police Union.

The union alleged he was in a conflict of interest for voting on Nov. 14 to end the transition to the Surrey Police Service and retain the Surrey RCMP without disclosing both that his son was employed by the Surrey RCMP and that his daughter was assigned to the RCMP after being seconded from the City of Surrey.

The union maintained he should have either recused himself or been disqualified from voting on the matter then and in future votes.

On June 7, before a closed council meeting was held on June 15 in which Surrey council on a 6-3 vote to retain the RCMP as the city’s police of jurisdiction, Surrey Ethics Commissioner Peter Johnson delivered his findings on the Code of Conduct complaint to council and a summary of that report was made public on June 20.

The commissioner found Stutt, in accordance with B.C. law, did not have a pecuniary interest in the matter because, unlike in Ontario, “In British Columbia, the courts have held that a pecuniary interest in a matter cannot be inferred from the existence of a family relationship alone.”

However, the commissioner also noted that “other forms of a personal interest in a mater can give rise to a conflict of interest, where a reasonably well-informed person would conclude that the interest might influence the exercise of the Council member’s duties.

“For that reason, members of Council must not participate in Council decisions that affect the members of their immediate families in ways that go beyond the interests those family members have in common with other members of the community, in circumstances where a reasonably well-informed person would conclude that there is a potential for bias,” Johnson added.

In the case of Stutt’s daughter, the

“Let me be clear when I say, it is commissioner found the councillor their career path, and has no relevoting on Nov. 14 did not have the vance on my moral compass,” Stutt potential to affect her employment said. “in a substantial enough way that “I remain committed to the public would give rise to a concern about safety of the citizens of Surrey.

sideration, with Surrey First Coun.

Mike Bose voting in favour of this along with Surrey Connect’s majority comprised of Locke and councillors Harry Bains, Pardeep Kooner, Stutt and Gordon Hepner while Safe Surrey Coalition councillors Doug Elford, Mandeep Nagra and Surrey First Coun. Linda Annis voted in opposition.

Had Stutt not voted on Nov. 14, the Dec. 9 vote would not have come before council, nor would the June 15 in-camera vote have happened, as the Nov. 14 vote would have failed on a 4-4 tie.

The Surrey Police Union issued a statement after the summary of the commissioner’s report was released, noting that the “critical” Nov. 14 vote “changed the trajectory of the last seven months” and that Stutt “should be removed immediately” from his position as chairman of the Surrey Public Safety Committee.

“Our goal was to make the process as transparent and fair as possible.

The vote on policing in Surrey is critical and should be clear of any bias to focus on the only issue that matters, safety in Surrey,” Rick Stewart, president of the SPU, stated in the press release. “Surrey residents deserve an apology for his disrespect to his office and compromised integrity at city hall.”

Meantime, former Surrey mayor Bob Bose came to Stutt’s defence, suggesting he was “caught in the horns” of a dilemma.

“He was fully aware of the financial implications of the transfer,” Bose said. “Knowing that, he had to make the choice to recuse himself or act on his understanding of the financial implications of the transfer. He would then have been in derelict of his responsibilities. If you know a building is unsafe, but you’ve got a conflict of interest because you work for another company, and you fail to say something, you’re culpable. He had no choice, is the point I’m making, given his understanding, but to vote.”

Whatever the case, Bose doesn’t believe Stutt’s situation will come into play for Farnworth.

“If he uses it, it will be an abuse. I mean, I don’t know what Farnworth is going to do. Farnworth has been aggressive, I mean it’s pretty clear the province wants to get rid of the RCMP,” Bose said.

“For the time being, the RCMP are delivering first-class service at a cost that is far less than the alternative.”

Two men and a woman have been charged with robbery and assault, accused of mugging a man at the SFU campus in Whalley.

Bruce James Madill, 37, and Kaitlyn Marie Sedore, 24, are charged with robbery and assault causing bodily harm and Charles Adam Platko, 44, is charged with robbery and assault.

Cpl. Vanessa Munn said the Surrey RCMP was alerted to a “personal robbery” on the campus, in the 13400block of 102 Avenue, on Dec. 23, 2022.

“Prior to police arrival it was reported that three suspects had fled with the victim’s phone and backpack,” Munn said.

“The victim of the robbery sustained injuries and was transported to hospital.”

The charges were laid on June 14.

Mounties looking for help to ID fraud suspect Surrey Mounties are hoping someone can help them identify a fraud suspect who on March 18 allegedly defrauded $237,000 from a currency exchange business in the 8000block of 128 Street in Newton.

“Two separate bank drafts were cashed and later determined to be fraudulent,” Cpl. Vanessa Munn said.

The suspect is a slim South Asian woman, about five feet seven inches tall, with shoulder length dark hair. (See photo at surreynowleader. com). She spoke Hindi, Punjabi and English, Munn said.

Following the verdict, McCallum read out a short statement, at the courthouse entrance, in which he understandably said he was “pleased with the decision,” thanked his legal team for “their tremendous efforts in this case,” and gave a “special thanks” to his family for their support and understanding. “I appreciate also the sensitivity of the media in covering my case, and to the people of Surrey, I love you, I love all of you.”

He did not take questions.

After a 13-year break from the mayor’s chair, which he occupied from 1996 to 2005, McCallum was sworn in on Nov. 5, 2018 for his fourth term as Surrey’s mayor, this time under the Safe Surrey Coalition banner. Locke, of Surrey Connect, defeated him for the mayor’s seat in the Oct. 15, 2022 election by 973 votes.

City of Surrey employees who make $75,000 or more received a total north of $215 million in base salaries in 2022, with more than $23 million in benefits and $1.3 million in expenses on top of that.

Surrey’s general manager of finance Kam Grewal noted in a corporate report that came before council recently that the Financial Information Act requires all cities to provide the provincial government with an annual Statement of Financial Information to include the name and remuneration paid to every employee who received more than $75,000 from the city.

Of the city’s 1,343 employees listed in this report, 620 pulled in six-figures in base salaries and of those, 17 made more than $200,000 in base salaries.

Top of the heap is city manager Vince Lalonde, with a 2022 base salary of $411,198.03. His taxable benefits and “other” – this includes any payout related

to vacations, gratuity, performance pay, lump-sum payments, banked overtime, retirement “and/or vehicle allowances” – was tallied at $54,411.23, with another $11,652.26 in expenses.

The report by Grewal – who himself pulled in a salary of $271,449.69 – indicates that for the year ending Dec. 31, 2022, these City of Surrey employees were together paid $215,267,904.29 for that year, with $23,759,588.65 in taxable benefits and “other,” and $1,309,239.75 chalked up in expenses.

Perennial council watcher Richard Landale, a Fleetwood resident, says the city’s payroll is “ever burdening” to taxpayers, who this year alone were hit with city property tax bills at least 12.5 per cent higher than in 2022. The city manager alone, Landale noted, is the highest-paid civic bureaucrat in B.C. Landale in an email to council recommended it initiate a freeze on salary increases in 2023-2025 for employees with a taxable income more than $200,000 in 2023, “unless tied to a

promotion and new job description.”

“There are some 200,000 residences paying property taxes or put another way $779.92 per city hall employee,” Landale noted. “This figure excludes the unionized and part-time employees of the city.”

Meantime, the Surrey Board of Trade is decrying thumping property taxes for Surrey as survey results comparing changes from 2022 to 2023 reveal a 16.9 per cent increase for industrial properties, 27.3 per cent for other businesses and a 21.1 per cent increase for residential.

Asked if she thinks the City of Surrey’s payroll is bloated, the board’s CEO Anita Huberman replied “it’s not something I can comment on in terms of the salaries.

“We’re a growing city, we need more staff, we need skilled staff, we need competitive salaries,” Huberman told the Now-Leader, “and putting in a freeze on salary increases I don’t think is the right approach. We need to focus on revenue generation for the city of Surrey.”

Sikh protesters decry temple shooting as foreign interference

THEATRE BC MAINSTAGE 2023

Chuck Chiang The Canadian Press

A volunteer at the Metro Vancouver Sikh temple whose president was gunned down a week ago said Hardeep Singh Nijjar knew his life may have been in danger.

Gurkeerat Singh said Nijjar gave a speech at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara on the day of his death just hours before the shooting in the temple’s parking lot that claimed his life, noting he had been warned by Canadian intelligence officials.

Singh, who attended a protest Saturday (June 24) in front of Vancouver’s Indian consulate along with 200 others from Canada’s Sikh community, said temple members firmly believe Nijjar’s death was a result of foreign interference.

“When they are informing our leaders that their lives may be in danger, we have all the right to believe that it could be foreign interference involved in this,” Singh said.

Nijjar was gunned down in his vehicle while leaving the temple parking lot at around 8:30 p.m. on June 18, and homicide investigators said they are looking for two “heavy-set” suspects seen leaving the scene, likely to a getaway car parked a few blocks away.

While police have acknowledged that there is fear and speculation stemming from the attack, investigators say they have not linked the shooting to foreign interference and there are no reasons to believe the Sikh community is at risk.

Protesters, however, say they are convinced the killing was linked to Nijjar’s active role in advocating for an independent Sikh state of Khalistan in India.

Nijjar was organizing an unofficial referendum in India for an independent Sikh state at the time of his death.

The Indian government had offered a reward of 1 million rupees, or about $16,000, last July for information that could lead to Nijjar’s arrest or apprehension, and the country’s coun-

Three people dead after Sunday crash

Survey says Surrey business property taxes not ‘feasible’ Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com

Tricia Weel Black Press Media

Three people have died after an early morning car crash in South Surrey.

One driver was initially detained by police after the crash, which happened at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday (June 25) in the 3300-block of 176 Street.

A Volkswagen Golf with a single occupant was northbound on 176 Street past 32 Avenue, when it collided with a Hyundai sedan with a driver and three passengers that was also travelling northbound, according to a Surrey RCMP press release. Both vehicles were knocked from the roadway into a water-filled ditch on the east side of the roadway. Three of the Hyundai’s occupants were sent to hospital in critical condition.

By Sunday afternoon, two occupants of the Hyundai had succumbed to their injuries and on Monday afternoon, the third occupant of the Hyundai also died, according to the RCMP.

Police say speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in the crash. (Shane MacKichan photo) The driver of the Volkswagen, who was initially detained for an impaired-driving investigation, has since been served documents prohibiting him from driving and was released pending further investigation.

Police will be looking at all the circumstances of this collision; at this time speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in this collision, the RCMP noted in a release.

“The Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team is actively working to gather crucial evidence and piece together what led to this tragic collision that has now claimed three lives, ” said Surrey

The Surrey Board of Trade is decrying thumping property taxes for Surrey as survey results comparing changes from 2022 to 2023 reveal a 16.9 per cent increase for industrial properties, 27.3 per cent for other businesses and a 21.1 per cent increase for residential.

“Businesses do not have the capacity to pay such high taxes given the cash flow challenges caused by the pandemic, supply shortages, natural disasters, inflation, interest rate increases, and workforce challenges,” board CEO Anita Huberman says. “We need a tax climate that is conducive to the success and sustainability of businesses.”

The board released its 2023 Surrey Property Tax Survey Results: The Increasing Cost of Doing Business in Surrey on June 22. It decided to include residential property tax figures because many business owners and employees work from home. Of survey respondents, 50 per cent were employers, 30.6 per cent were employees and 16.7 per cent were self-employed, contractors or consultants. Close to 500 participated in the survey, Huberman said.

‘The Addams Family’ hits stage after rehearsals at funeral home in Newton

Free concerts during Sounds of Summer series starting July 5

Director sheds light on one darkly comic musical, opening tonight at Surrey Arts Centre

Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Where in Surrey are rehearsals held for a musical-comedy about a monstrous family?

At a funeral home, naturally.

So it is for Fraser Valley Musical Theatre (FVMT) at Valley View Funeral Home, where cast and crew have worked to bring “The Addams Family” to the stage starting Thursday, June 29.

The Newton funeral facility is one place where the theatre company has rehearsed for many of its 40 years, thanks to a longtime sponsorship agreement.

“This is definitely an appropriate show to be rehearsed there,” agreed director Sam Robbins, who also leads rehearsals at St. Cuthbert Anglican Church in North Delta.

She’s a first-time director for FVMT after working both onstage and off with the company over the past 20 years or so.

For the current show, music direction is done by John Arsenault, choreography by Tamara Jaune, and a 12-piece live band is part of the production, which hits Surrey Arts Centre’s Main Stage for a run of twoplus weeks, closing July 9.

This version features an Addams family of Ahnika Airey (Pugsley), Patrick Arnott (Fester), Rachelle Beaulieu (Grandma Addams), Stef Delisimunovic (Morticia), Tim Marron (Gomez) and Cecilia Federizon (Wednesday), characters first created by cartoonist Charles Addams way back in 1938.

“I love the characters, who lend to relatable family dynamics,” Robbins said in a phone call. “They seem very off-kilter and macabre, but for me there’s just something super-relatable about them. I grew up with

With FVMT, Robbins last appeared in “Anything Goes,” and then she stage-managed the company’s panto, “Sleeping Beauty,” last winter.

“I love directing, especially with a cast like this, it’s so easy. This show is all about family, and with family being super important to me, it’s actually been quite easy,” said Robbins, who lives in Langley with husband and daughter.

“It’s not always like that, and I’ve been involved in many shows, but this one has been an absolutely blast to work on. The costumes are coming along and we’ve had some great photo shoots and we’re sending out those photos on social media. There are a lot of parts and a lot of moving pieces, but we’re pretty excited about bringing this to the stage.”

June 29-30 and July 6-8, with 2:30 p.m. matinees July 2, 8 and 9, with details on tickets. surrey.ca.

July 5 is the start date for Surrey’s Sounds of Summer concerts this year.

Admission is free for Partners in Parks’ annual series, held at a variety of parks, plazas and other sites in the city every Wednesday in July and August, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

“With diverse genres from jazz and R&B to classic rock, enjoy this live concert series at some of Surrey’s most beautiful parks and outdoor spaces,” says a post on surrey.ca, where the calendar is posted.

Nine concerts are booked, starting July 5 with folk band Sturtz at Surrey Civic Plaza, at city hall.

“The acoustic quartet – Andrew Sturtz (vocals, guitar), Jim Herlihy (banjo], Courtlyn Carpenter (cello) and Will Kuepper (bass)– falls somewhere at the intersection of folk and soul, with lead singer Andrew Sturtz’s melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals,” a bio reads.

“Sturtz is based in Boulder, Colorado, and has toured across the U.S. opening for groups like the Eli Young Band, Trout Steak Revival, Lillie Mae, and Smooth Hound Smith.”

Seating is limited, and it’s best to bring your own chair to the concert. Washrooms will be available at city hall, along with parking. “If you pack a picnic to enjoy at the concert, please pack out all your

The Sounds of Summer concerts continue July 12 with Venezuelan folk band Asi Somos at The Glades Woodland Garden in South Surrey, followed July 19 by a double bill of hip-hop band Super Duty Tough Work and Métis fiddler Sierra Noble at The Museum of Surrey, in Cloverdale, and South Van Big Band at South Surrey’s Darts Hill Garden Park on July 26.

The five August concerts will feature Bollywood dance artist Karima Essa with Dholnation drum ensemble Aug. 2 at Surrey Civic Plaza, funk outfit Cookin’ With Brass at Clayton Community Centre on Aug. 9, tribute band Stealing Dan at Historic Stewart Farm on Aug. 16, reggae/ Afrobeat quartet Mivule at Holland Park on Aug. 23 and soul singer Krystle Dos Santos at Surrey Civic Plaza, Aug. 30.

‘Very special’: Luv Randhawa to perform at 2 sites, hours apart Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Luv Randhawa will be a busy musician on Canada Day, and happy to be so.

Hours apart, he has mainstage performances booked for both Surrey’s July 1 celebration and also the one in White Rock, where the Newton-raised singer now lives.

The longtime entertainer will backed by a live band for both gigs, 4:30 p.m. at Cloverdale Fairgrounds and then 7 p.m. at the beachside Memorial Park, near the pier in White Rock.

“Performing on Canada Day is very special to me, especially in my home town like this,” said Randhawa, who was born in the U.K. and moved to Canada at a young age.

“I go back pretty much every year, and basically both countries are my homes,” he explained.

“I’m over the moon to

showcase not only my Indian heritage but also where I was brought up in the world, my Canadian heritage. I’m a proud Canadian who’s a South Asian artist, and I sing in all those languages — four of them, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and also English. Being able to cater to all of those communities here is a huge thing for me, a true honour.”

Randhawa said the Surrey event is particularly exciting to him, given the size of the Canada Day celebration and his late-afternoon time slot.

“As a band we’re all excited to perform at (Surrey) because it’s a such a big event, a great event that has such great crowds,” he said. “It’s a really great band and it’s such a thrill to perform with them.”

Randhawa performs with Coach Sandhu (guitar), Kal Mattu (keys), Swaraj Aiden (drums), Bruce Harding (bass), Sunny Uppal (dhol),

This approach enhances the taste and provides a healthier alternative to conventional fast food burgers.

“We live and work in Newton and love the diverse community we serve. Although we’re available through Door Dash, Uber and Skip the Dishes, we’d much rather see you pop in and say hello!

GO! Theatre

‘Show in a snow globe’ coming to Glades Woodland Garden All-ages ‘La bulle’ will be performed at South Surrey venue July 5-9 Tracy Holmes Black Press Media

A performance that promises to enthrall audience members of all ages with dance, mime and drawing is set to light up The Glades Woodland Garden in South Surrey from July 5-9.

“La bulle” – by CORPUS Dance Projects, presented by Surrey Civic Theatres as part of the Surrey SPARK Stages series – features a life-sized, one-of-a-kind bubble tent and its sole occupant: Pierrot.

Set against the backdrop of the Glades as night falls, Pierrot – an iconic loner and dreamer played

by David Danson in classic blackand-white costume and makeup – shares his bubble-bound life with observers who take it in from

around the outside of the bubble.

The 60-minute, non-verbal “La bulle” won accolades last year, a news release notes, with two nominations at the Dora Awards for outstanding production and outstanding achievement in design.

Danson, who is also artistic

director and co-founder of CORPUS, studied the likes of Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers and Buster Keaton to learn about storytelling and perfect his comedic timing and body language, the release adds.

Toronto-based CORPUS,

He studied clown and mask with Dean Gilmour, co-founder of Theatre Smith-Gilmour, a company which, according to information at theatresmithgilmour.com, is “committed to creating theatre that gives expression to people’s imaginations.”

Surrey SPARK Stages offers arts events and performances yearround, and aims “to introduce young people to the magic of the performing arts.”

David Danson will perform in a bubble “We… believe the performing tent for “La bulle” at The Glades Woodland arts can change lives by impacting Garden in South Surrey starting July 5. how people see the world and their (Submitted photos) place in it.”

Bronze animal statues to stand on the walls of city’s new Bear Creek Stadium Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Metre-tall bronze animals will apparently defy gravity and stand on the walls of Surrey’s new Bear Creek Stadium.

Ontario-based artist Brandon Vickerd will be commissioned to create a “Seeing Nature” public art project worth $260,000, according to a report OK’d by the city council Monday, June 19.

The artist fee is $24,000, and the rest pays for design development, engineering, fabrication, installation and maintenance.

Drawings show a bear, fox, otters and rabbits adorning the east elevation of the 2,200-seat grandstand, currently under construction.

It’s what most visitors will first see upon entering the stadium, the report notes.

“This large expanse has four sheer walls each measuring 5.5m wide x 6.1m high.

These walls will be the site of a large-scale artwork that welcomes people to the facility and helps integrate the building into the natural surround of the park itself.”

large-scale art installations. “With over 1,700 artists, they collaborate to bring impactful artistic experiences to public spaces,” the news release says about the company, which has offices in Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City.

“At Guildford Town Centre, their contemporary, vibrant, and bold art installations will transform the plaza into a captivating focal point.”

Opened in 1966, GTC is B.C.’s third largest shopping mall, with 1.2 million square feet.

A six-member selection panel “felt the artwork will create a sense of wonder and joy, particularly for the large numbers of families using the nearby waterpark and playground,” the report says. “However, ‘Seeing Nature’ is also intended to foster an in-depth reflection on the relationship between humans, animals and nature more broadly.”

Project funding draws from 1.25 per cent of civic monies from the construction of the stadium as required by Surrey’s Public Art Policy, the report notes.

Construction of the Bear Creek Park grandstand began last

fall, with December 2023 the targeted completion date.

Plans are to build a “destination athletics centre” for Surrey, with permanent seating for 2,200 people (two-thirds covered) and possible expansion of another 1,000 temporary seats. The facility will include an improved track and synthetic turf field.

Elsewhere in Surrey, two public artworks for the King George Bridge at Nicomekl River were approved by the city council on June 5 — one by Semiahmoo artist Joan Williams, another by Kwantlen artist Phyllis Atkins.

The “28 colourful stainless steel artwork panels” will be installed this fall, according to a news release from city hall.

Here in 2023, the spring and summer months are all about hit songs for Arts Club Theatre Company, staging “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” and also a jukebox musical about the legendary Sun Records jams.

“Beautiful” opened first, June 8 at Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in Vancouver, and plays until Aug. 6.

Previews began June 22 for “Million Dollar Quartet,” playing at the company’s Granville Island Stage.

Kaylee Harwood shines as star songwriter King in “Beautiful,” a fast-paced trip back in time to the 1960s and early ’70s.

The story follows the Manhattan-born Carol Joan Klein as she commutes to Times Square and climbs the music-business ladder with husband/lyricist Gerry Goffin, played by Daniel Curalli. They write hit songs together, including “The Loco-Motion” for their babysitter Little Eva and “Up on the Roof” for The Drifters, but they’re far from a perfect pair for marriage.

She’s quite a homebody, and he’s more of a night owl with a thing for other women, leading King to eventually split for L.A. to write a hit album of her own (1971’s “Tapestry”) in response to her romantic troubles.

The album becomes a landmark of the singer-songwriter genre.

A revolving stage keeps things moving, with pianos, a sofa, studio control room, a hospital bed and other set pieces all circling by in good time.

Filled with great songs, along with both triumphs and tragedies, “Beautiful” sometimes falters when the performers don’t actually play their instruments on stage. But no worries, the voices of Harwood and ensemble

Arts Club regulars might recognize Harwood as Cosette in two productions of “Les Misérables,” and she really is the star of this show.

In “Beautiful,” also outstanding are Kamyar Pazandeh and Daniela Fernandez as rival songwriters Barry Mann and Janelle Woods, who bicker beautifully and become pals with King.

Several blocks north, on Granville Island, “Million Dollar Quartet” charts the early-days collaborations of Elvis Presley (Stephen Thakkar), Jerry Lee Lewis (Mateo Chavez Lewis), Carl Perkins (Felix LeBlanc) and Johnny Cash (Tanner Zerr). In Memphis in December 1956, the Sun studio is the setting for many rock ‘n’ roll hits of the era, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “That’s Alright,” “Folsom Prison Blues” and more.

Strength sports

Powerlifters weigh in on their world of deadlifts, squats and benchpresses Tom Zillich tom.zillich@surreynowleader.com

Powerlifting isn’t an Olympic sport, but perhaps it will be by the time Gaurav Dhanoa and Manohar Panesar are in their prime.

In their age division, the 18-year-olds are two of B.C.’s best in the strength sport, which involves lifting maximum weight by squat, bench press and deadlift.

Surrey’s Dhanoa and North Deltan Panesar are Young Guns club members coached

by Ryan MacLellan at the Iron Throne gym in Newton.

“They’re good, and they’re just getting into it, and have already set some records,” MacLellan noted.

Last August Dhanoa broke 12 powerlifting records in two age classes at a Canadian Powerlifting League competition in Alberta. With that, he qualified for the world championships in England this coming October.

Meantime, in an “outstanding performance” in Langley June 9-11, Panesar competed at his first provincial powerlifting meet, set four provincial records and won the Best Lifter award in the Sub-Junior men’s class.

“Despite passing out he still went 9/9” on his lifts of three reps each, MacLellan wrote in an Instagram post/reel. “At 18 years old he put up incredible numbers at his low bodyweight of 65kg (142 lbs.), putting up a 185.5kg squat, 122.5 kg bench press and 230kg deadlift.”

In powerlifting, a lifter has nine attempts to achieve the highest total possible, in three attempts each for squat, bench

Back at Iron Throne, Dhanoa and Panesar talked about their paths to recent powerlifting successes.

“I got involved in this around the same time as Gaurav,” Panesar noted.

“We played soccer together, and we both quit and started lifting, same time,” added Dhanoa, a student at Enver Creek Secondary. “In soccer we do a lot of cardio but I wanted to lift and bulk up as well, so I had to quit soccer. In soccer our team (with Surrey FC) won districts and were supposed to go to provincials but COVID ruined that, that year.”

Dhanoa’s first powerlifting

competition was in November 2021 when he set four records.

“When you’re lifting, you get the biggest adrenaline rush ever,” he said with a smile. “It pumps you up, and the atmosphere at competitions is crazy, just different. Everyone’s motivating each other.”

Seems like powerlifting is about camaraderie as much as competition.

Added MacLellan: “The unique thing about powerlifting is that even your competitors are cheering you on, they’re not salty, not trying to get into each other’s heads, they’re cheering, but they’re still trying to beat you. That’s a neat experience.”

Powerlifting rules are specific, and judges watch closely.

“You can’t do things like drop the bar if you’re failing,” MacLellan explained. “You need to know what you’re doing. You can get technicalities for things like not having your head in the right position, or going back down while squatting. There are some controversies for some calls by the judges. You want to get it done right especially if you’re going for a record.”

With Dhanoa off to Worlds this fall, he’s done with kabbadi season and is focused more on powerlifting.

“He has some work to do on all of his lifts. Everything needs to get stronger,” MacLellan analysed.

“I’ll be ready,” Dhanoa responded.

Buneet Bisla battled hard in his debut boxing match in New York City but lost in seven rounds.

On Saturday (June 24), the Surrey-based boxer was TKO’d by American opponent Khalil Coe in Madison Square Garden’s 5,600-seat theatre during a Matchroom-promoted bout, on a card featuring main-event fighters Edgar Berlanga and Jason Quigley.

Bisla’s light-heavyweight fight (175 lbs.) saw him knocked to the canvas 27 seconds into the first round, and Coe continued to hit him with hard punches. At the 1:18 mark of the opening round, Bisla fell again and Coe stumbled to a knee, resulting in a double knockdown.

The announcers predicted a swift victory for Coe, but Bisla bounced back and took the fight into the seventh round.

Video of the bout is posted on Matchroom Boxing’s Youtube channel.

“Bisla made history,” posted Gabhru56.

“Fought like a warrior. First Punjabi fighter to fight at MSG.” The fight was Bisla’s first outside Canada, on his first trip to New York.

Bisla trains at his family’s Bisla Martial Arts gym in Newton with father Inder Bisla.

“What a night,” operators of the gym posted on Instagram. “We are extremely proud of our warrior who weathered the storm in round 1 and continued to fight till the 7th, having some great moments in the fight.

“Buneet showed that he belongs at the biggest stages of boxing last night. We like to thank everyone for their continued love and support — 2013 was the last time our champ lost in the ring. Buneet will be back bigger and stronger than ever, just like he did 10 years ago, believe that!”

A White Rock pitcher and several softball players from Surrey have made the Team Canada roster that will compete in the upcoming Canada Cup International Softball Championship, July 7-16 at Softball City in South Surrey.

Canada has finalized its 2023 national team roster, and central to the team’s success will be eight players from the Surrey and Fraser Valley region, according to a Canada Cup news release last week.

White Rock pitcher Sara Groenewegen was a key member of the team that won bronze at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, throwing three shutout innings.

She also won gold in 2015 at the Pan American Games and has been part of the Canada women’s national softball team for a decade.

“Groenewegen plays professional softball with the Canadian Wild in Illinois and with Athletes Unlimited. She attended Elgin

Groenewegen will be joined by Cloverdale infielder Grace Messmer, who joins the roster for another year.

Messmer started 42 games this past season for the Beavers at Oregon State University, hitting .290 with five runs batted in and four double. A graduate of Lord Tweedsmuir

Secondary, she won silver with the 2022 Pan-Am Games Team.

Surrey’s Kianna Jones currently plays outfield for UNC-Chapel Hill. In 2022, the Burnsview Secondary grad was a bench coach for the Macron Bacon, the first-ever female coach with the Coastal Plain League, a wood-bat collegiate summer baseball league, the release noted.

Jones is a three-time provincial state champion and two-time national champion with Surrey Storm 2001A. Madelyn McKinnon, also from Surrey, currently plays catcher/infielder with McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas.

She played for the White Rock Renegades ’04 and is a graduate of Semiahmoo Secondary School.

Now in its 30th year, the Canada Cup showcases some of the top female athletes from all across Canada and the world as well as more than 1,500 athletes at the national and club level.

Canada Cup organizers are thanking the many donors whose support means the Ukrainian women’s junior national softball team will be able to compete in the 2023 Canada Cup in South Surrey.

The July international softball championship tournament runs from July 7-16 at Softball City (2201 148 St., Surrey), with more than 1,500 elite athletes already confirmed to compete, including the Canadian National team.

The City of Surrey’s contribution, more than 500 individual donations and an amazing show of support from the B.C. business community combined to reach the fundraising target of $60,000 in just over a week, noted a Canada Cup news release that also lists the Team Ukraine tournament schedule.

“We can’t thank the community enough for embracing Team Ukraine with open arms and helping bring them to our tournament. We have been blown away by the generosity of people from across the country,” said event chair Greg Timm.

“These young women have faced tremendous strain during the ongoing war and your financial support allows them to come to Surrey and play the sport they love on an international stage.”

The tournament is now focused on delivering an amazing experience for the U19 Ukrainian players and its entire delegation and donations are still being accepted to ensure they will be able to return next year.

Team Ukraine players will be arriving in Surrey on Friday, July 7 and the public will get a chance to embrace these athletes when the Canada Cup hosts Team Ukraine Night on Tuesday, July 11 at 5 p.m.

Tracey Has helped over 2900 families move. How can we help you?

You may have noticed Tracey growing his hair over the last 3 years. His goal is to help provide a child with a hairpiece during a challenging time in their lives & raise money for Wigs for Kids. Wigs for Kids, in association with BC Children’s Hospital also helps families pay for medications & feeding supplies that are essential for treatment but not covered by their medical plan, as well as transportation & accommodations.

Tracey has pledged to match a goal of $10,000 in donations, which means that every donation made big or small will have double the impact in hopes of raising a total of $20,000.

Lets help Tracey in supporting this wonderful cause and make a difference in the lives of these children.

Tracey and his Team helped us with the sale of our condo and purchase of our beautiful home.

From the day we met Tracey we felt comfortable, confident, and happy we made the decision to ask for his help. We can’t say enough about the professionalism, personal communication, follow through and amazing job Tracey and his Team did for us. They went above and beyond to sell our home and to help us purchase our family home!

Throughout our journey Tracey ensured to answer our million questions, addressed any concerns, listened to our wants/needs/family goals, and ensured our comfort/safety in selling and buying during a pandemic. With Tracey’s help we found the home we love, in the community we wanted to be in. It was important my parents were involved in the process; they were welcomed and are incredibly happy to see us in our home. We jokingly told Tracey that a requirement is to have a home we can hear the birds chirping – Our house has a tree outside our sitting area that is a resting spot for hummingbirds and other small birds. We are also on a flight path for Canadian Geese, we look forward to the morning arrivals and evening departures. We asked – Tracey delivered! Thank you, Tracey, Natalie and Team - We can’t thank you enough for your help.

Susanne and Jamie Buying and selling a home is a huge undertaking and demands a lot of patience, understanding and forgiveness. Finding the right Realtor to help you through this process is key. Tracey Bosch was recommended to us by a trusted friend, and he certainly didn’t disappoint. From the very start, Tracey was able to quickly determine our needs and was able to provide such a wealth of knowledge in terms of understanding the market and what we could and would achieve. His experienced methods resulted in a quick and seamless sale. Our purchase of a new home was simply down to the work Tracey and his team did in seeking and providing all the necessary information for us to make an informed decision Would highly recommend Tracey Bosch and his team to anyone for a stress free, home buying/selling experience.

Stacey & Mark W Tracey always acted very professionally and always answered our questions and made sure no details were overlooked. Our calls were always returned promptly. We appreciated his knowledge and negotiating skills. Oh, did I mention his wicked sense of humor.

Look for me in Rainbows Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.

In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.

Every waking moment, and all your whole life through Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you.
