north delta — it is, typically, one ofthe quietest times of the day during one ofthe quietest times of the week at Kennedyseniors centre. the lunch bunch has comeand gone, the dinner crowd has yet to arriveand the hubbub of the weekend is a dayremoved. it is monday afternoon.

but pop the door to the facility’s mainhall on this monday afternoon (oct. 20)and prepare to wave bye-bye to solitude.it’s dress-rehearsal time for a local theatretroupe called the Vaudevillians, and thepace, as they prep to hit the stage, is manic.

over there working the sound boardis marilyn paulin, twirling knobs andlistening intently to a pony-tailed dudewho’s running, literally, back and forth tothe stage, setting up the wired and wirelessmicrophones and figuring out last-minuteissues. his name is morgan montgomeryand he’d be handling the audio dutieshimself, like he’s done so often before, ifhe weren’t also singing and dancing andemceeing instead.

twenty feet from paulin sits marilynremus. the director of the troupe’s latesteffort, she pores over the script, appendingthis and altering that, when not fieldingquestions and conferring with the manyactors and assistants who approach her.

one of those people is pat trimble.trimble, along with hubby Jim, is afounding member of the troupe and, inmany ways over the years, its backbone,talks practicalities with remus, heads off toquickly change into costume and returns foranother strategy session.

on stage, the action is hot and heavy.actors move scenery into position,disappear and return in costume. individualscenes are practiced. mics and props arepassed about. conversation is everywhere.

suddenly, the curtain is drawn. it opensagain and the play begins.

there is singing, there is dancing. thereis truly funny comedy and there is witty

dialogue. actors enter and exit from stageleft, stage right, stage rear and even fromthe audience. there are seemingly morecostume changes than there are minutes ina day. surely on athleticism alone, this gangdeserves accolades.

but here’s thething. these guys andgals are… mature.Quite mature.supreme multi-taskermontgomery, he ofthe ponytail, is 67.director remus is 75.pat trimble is 77 andher husband Jim, who,due to heath issueswill retire from active stage duties after thecurrent project, is 83.

hard to believe? you betcha. i wanted toid most of them.

take dorothy perkins, who says she “gotserious” about this singing and acting thingat the tender age of 70. prior to that, heronly experience came as a youth. “when we

were young, there was no tV, so we madeour own fun. we sang all the old songs, anddad played violin.”

perkins began visiting Kennedy seniorscentre at 70, joined its choir on a whimand was soon asked to duet with the choirdirector at local nursing homes. “when hepassed way, it was just about the time theVaudevillians started coming to Kennedyfor practice. i thought, ‘oh well, i think i’llgive it a try.’”

perkins claims, amid much laughter, thather first tune with the Vaudevillians was“i’m just a girl who can’t say no.”

today, she has two numbers. in the first,the 1927 standard “among my souvenirs,”she reveals not only her impressive voicebut also a mid-song shocker that’ll havethe audience in stitches. in the second, acomedic take on “bicycle built for two” thatperkins herself rewrote, customized lines(“for i’ll be damned if i’ll be crammed on abicycle built for two”) are commonplace.

at the opposite end of the spectrumis director remus. trained from a child

under the mentorship of famed ballerina/actor bebe de roland, remus wouldeventually travel the united states with herhusband, staging region-specific “outdoorspectaculars” in towns throughout theland. the two ultimately settled in florida,where she choreographed shows at the burtreynolds dinner theater. indeed, reynoldsbecame a great friend.

remus returned to the lower mainlandto be near her brothers. these days, shehas roles at the massey and anvil theatresin new westminster and, of course, herposition with the Vaudevillians.

to say she’s had a big hand in thecurrent production, Vaudeville 101, is anunderstatement. apart from directing it,remus also wrote much of the dialogue andconceived the premise – that of a “professor”(played capably by alannah Jacques), whoexplains vaudeville to the audience with theaid of liberally interspersed song and dancenumbers and skits.

that it works so well and seems so freshis not testament to remus alone, but theentire 24-member troupe. these kids lovewhat they’re doing, and most of themadd their own twists and spins to theirindividual bits. it’s a group effort, and itshows.

Vaudeville 101 opens saturday, nov. 8and sunday, nov. 9 at surrey arts centre,in support of the bursary Jim trimbleinitiated a decade ago for douglas collegeperforming arts students. show times are2 p.m. both days. for details and tickets($20), visit Vaudevillians.com or call 604-501-5566.

the production will continue to runat smaller venues throughout the lowermainland well into 2015, even as the troupechooses and rehearses its next show. this isa busy and ambitious bunch. when remussays “we’d like to get on the conventioncircuit,” it’s hard to believe they won’t.

surrey — smells of organic patchoulisoaps, fresh baked (gluten-free) goods andgourmet mac and cheese waft through theair at the surrey urban farmers marketin the summer months. shoppers pickthrough colourful, local fruits and veggies,perhaps putting a carton of free-rangeeggs in their basket while sipping on asample of organic lemonade. from aprilto september, the city’s farmers marketprovides a veritable smorgasbord for thesenses.

but why should that end during the coldmonths of winter?

emily atkinson, manager of surreyurban farmers market, doesn’t think itshould.

that’s why she was at the inauguralwinter farmers market at surrey’s city hallatrium and plaza on wednesday (oct. 29),where dozens of vendors hawked theirgoods and kicked off a new season for themarket.

“we wanted to do a winter marketlast year but it didn’t pan out because oflocation problems,” atkinson said.

the city’s new city hall, atrium and plazarecently wrapped up construction.

“for a couple years now, customers havebeen asking if the market continues in the

winter months,” she said.“we’ve had interest from vendors, so

we’re really happy to be able to do it thisyear.”

atkinson, who began managing theurban farmers market in april, saidthe event will take place every secondwednesday in the city hall atrium and plaza.

those who forget to bring cash canpurchase “market bucks” with their debitcard and use them at vendors and food trucksas cash. the “bucks” never expire, so peoplecan bring back their bucks for subsequentmarkets.

some of the vendors at wednesday’s winterkick off included solodko, selling homemade,ukrainian sweets; russian spoon, baking upsavoury and sweet goods; and marie’s guilt-free bakery, packaging up vegan treats.

“it’s always an experiment in terms ofwhere people set up but it’s worked well,”atkinson said.

in all, the market has a “good mix” ofvendors. she said that roughly 10 vendorswill be constant through the season, withanother five to 10 rotating.

all food trucks will stay outside in theplaza, rain or shine.

“it’s great to support farmers throughoutthe winter as well,” she noted.

“they’re still growing things so why nottake advantage of getting fresh fruit andvegetables over the winter, too?”

surrey — in most political races, beingtoo flakey would likely cost candidates votes,but in the 2014 british store mayoral pie race,flakiness is nothing but desirable.

indeed, as the candidates continue tovie for the attention of voters in the restof the city, the newton store is running itsown political race using pie purchases as asubstitute for votes.

the candidates and their pie types are asfollows: Vikram bajwa (steak and Guiness),John edwards (steak and kidney), lindahepner (chicken), doug mccallum (chickenand mushroom), barinder rasode (steak),Grant rice (steak and vegetable) and Johnwolanski (cheese and onion).

storeowner andy bradshaw matched thecandidates to the top-selling seven varietiesof pies randomly.

“it’s just a bit of fun. we played it aroundwith some of the customers and they thoughtit sounded like a good idea,” said bradshaw,who moved his business from its long-timenew westminster location to surrey this pastsummer.“as soon as they announced who

was running, we put this up and we’ve beenupdating it each day.”

asked if the impromptu race hasinfluenced any pie buying in the store,bradshaw joked,“not as far as i know butedwards seems to be doing really well. i don’treally know him so it’s possible he could have

been coming in and buying his own piesrepeatedly.”

at the time of this writing, edwards wasin the lead with 44 pies sold, while hepnerand mccallum were in second and third,respectively. rasode was in fourth, and bajwa,wolanski and rice rounded out the race.

“normally our steak and Guinness (bajwa)pie is the top one,” said bradshaw.“we’re alsovery happy with the cheese and onion pie(wolanski) sales, which is a vegetarian pie.”

bradshaw added that he’s a keen followerof politics and being a new business owner insurrey, is finding the current race an excitingone to watch.

“this is the first time i’ve had reason to payattention to surrey politics,” he said.“in newwestminster, it takes 3,500 votes to becomea councillor whereas in surrey it’s more like35,000.”

as for his shop, bradshaw said businesshas been good since they opened and he’slooking forward to being a part of surrey’sgrowing business sector in newton.

“i’m shocked at how much shopping thereis, the amount of shops,” he said.“businesshas been good. we’re really enjoying this.”

and even if the winner of bradshaw’s pierace doesn’t get elected in the main election,he said he’ll probably end up making aspecial pie for his store’s new mayor.

to cast your vote in the 2014 british storemayoral pie race, visit bradshaw’s shop at13369 72 ave., surrey. the store also featuresvarious british gifts, groceries and other items.

surrey — a federal agency overseeingpublic-private infrastructure projects incanada has given preliminary approval tosurrey’s application to help fund light railtransit.

according to a press release issued bythe city thursday (oct. 30), the p3 canadafund has granted “screened in” status to theapplication, meaning it will move on to thenext phase for further funding consideration.

“with surrey’s population growing soquickly, securing new rapid transit optionshave been a top priority of mine,” said mayordianne watts in the release.“this decision tohave surrey’s application for federal fundingmove on to the next stage is a significant stepforward in making a light rail transit systema reality in our city.”

city staff are working with translink, theregional transportation agency that wouldadminister the lrt network, to refine thedesign and cost estimates for the project. thedesign work is also necessary to prepare abusiness case for federal funding.

surrey’s objective is a funding arrangement

composed of one third federal, one thirdprovincial and one third regional. theregional support already exists in theform of the mayors’ council’s regionaltransportation plan, which has identifiedsurrey’s lrt plan for 27 km of track as atop priority. however, any such funding willdepend heavily on the results of a translinkreferendum expected in the spring of 2015.

p3 projects (or public-private partnerships)involves a contract between a public sectorentity and a private company, in whichthe private contractor usually assumes thefinancial, technical and operational risk in theproject to reduce costs to the taxpayer.

there are several examples of p3 projects incanada, including seven transit projects, suchas lrt in edmonton, and closer to home,lincoln station on the evergreen line.

proponents for the plan say lrt is morecost-effective than a skytrain extension, with27 km of lrt track costing the same as 16 kmof skytrain. studies estimate that a skytrainfrom surrey city centre to langley wouldonly be five minutes faster than light rail.

according to the city, the lrt network willbe able to meet future population growthprojections and needs for transit.

I wouldn’t let mychildren play onartificial turfThe Editor,

if you or your children were in directcontact with easily ingested carcinogen-based products, would that give youcause for concern?

too late. already tens of thousandsof children and adults use artificial turfsports fields, which are made of ground-up used car tires containing four knowncarcinogens, silica and a laundry list ofchemicals.

used car tires are “recycled” bygrinding them up into small pieces andcreating the playing surface of artificialsports fields. with every kick, slip orsave, rubber pellets fly into the air,

sticking to open wounds, clothing andeven into mouths of the users.

the nbc recently did a report on34 young soccer goalkeepers who alldeveloped cancers, many of them rareforms, after playing for an extendedperiod on artificial turf. no research hasconcluded a link between cancer andartificial turf; however, no long-termstudies have been completed, either. thisis in addition to the much higher injuryrates of athletes compared to naturalgrass fields.

i wouldn’t let my children play onartificial turf. will you?

Nik Wall, Surrey

What about localfootball teams?

The Editor,i find it disheartening that your

paper does not truly support the

community in which it writes for.while you mange to cover most sports,you neglect the the local football teams.

for instance, the white rock titans– never mind the two other surreyclubs that have been hard at work sinceJune.

did you know that the white rocktitans atoms division has gone 11-0-1,which includes three games won at thesurrey bronze boot on aug. 23 beforethe regular season.

now i understand that you can’tpossibly cover everyone’s games. i do,however, understand that the clubssend in their game reviews with photos.how nice it would to include the boysof the gridiron in your sports section.

cbc’s Marketplace ran a contest recently to find“canada’s dumbest charge.”

the runners-up were atm fees, paper billand statement fees, airline seat selection fees andticketmaster fees. the winner (or loser, depending onyour perspective) was bell’s touch-tone fees, by 41.83per cent.

some 30,055 people voted.one wonders how fee-greedy delta school district

would have fared, had it been in this lineup.school districts, as parents know all too well, are

nickel-and-diming them with dubious student feesdespite b.c. supreme court Justice robert Johnstonfinding they violate section 82 of the school act(young v. british columbia minister of education,2006, bcsc 1415).

here’s a catalogue of some of the fees levied bydelta’s school district: student fee $20, agenda $8,visual arts $15, bc science workbook $9, electronicstech ed $32, and on it goes.

and then there’s – get this – the emergency prep fee($2). that’s right, a $2 emergency prep fee. apparentlyprovincial taxes don’t cover students’ safety.

what’s next, delta school district, a hallwaydrinking-fountain fee?

Gymnasium floor wax levy?hey, here’s one: why not retrofit students’ lockers

so that the children will have to insert a quarter everytime they go to retrieve their books for their nextclass?

sure, we jest. but only a bit. really, it’s sad howalready overtaxed parents are being systemicallyparted from their hard-earned money by such thingsas ridiculous $2 emergency preparedness fees, not tomention all the other grabs.

debate

there has been some well-reasoned and pointed criticismaimed at the bc liberal

government’s never-ending push toestablish an lnG industry in thisprovince, particularly on the issueof whether that industry will hinderattempts at fighting climate change.

but critics who assail the governmentwith the argument that boosting lnGat the expense of increasing greenhousegas emissions (GhG) are missing a keypoint: the bc liberals are not nearly asinterested in curbing GhGs as they arein creating a new revenue stream forgovernment.

while the ndp, the pembinainstitute and Green party mla andrewweaver all pitch valid critiques ofthe government’s recently unveiledlegislation that established the “rules”when it came to emission fromlnG operations, they fell on deafgovernment ears.

the bc liberals, like the social creditdynasty from which they were borne,are driven by a central philosophicaltenet: in order to do anything in thisprovince, they must hold politicalpower.

everything the government doesflows from this realization, that politicalpower drives public policy and not theother way around.

the bc liberals know they wereelected not by those with an intenseinterest in fighting climate change, butby those whose top priority was doingwhatever it takes to ensure a growingeconomy.

the debates that take place inKitsilano starbucks outlets are lessrelevant than ones you hear in coffeeshops and bars in surrey, Kamloops,prince George and Kelowna.

on paper, the government says itis still committed to reducing GhGemissions by 33 per cent (from 2007levels) by the year 2020. whatever. itis a toothless, paper commitment andnothing more.

the 2017 election will not featureGhG emissions and climate changeas its central, vote-determining issuesand it’s unlikely the election after thatone will either, and the bc liberals arewell aware of that. they also know thatthe vast majority of voters have littleconcept of, say,“one ton of greenhousegas emissions” and can’t equate thatwith something easier to visualize, like a

pay cheque for example.none of this is to suggest that folks

like weaver are incorrect in theirconclusion that those lofty targets forcutting GhG emission levels can’t bemet with a growing lnG industry.it’s rather that in the stark world ofpolitical reality, their arguments aren’tnecessarily that politically relevant.

Bellringer a force to Bereckoned with

some interesting financial nuggetshave been unearthed by b.c. auditorGeneral carol bellringer in her massiveaudit of the government’s 2013-14financial statements.

she highlightedthree differentunusual aspects ofthe government’sbudgetingmethods, andin her reportdutifully notedthat the financialstatements “cantell an interestingstory.”

why, yes they can.for example, she noted the

government is paying significantlyhigher interest rates on the debt itaccumulates from public-powerpartnerships than it does on its ownborrowing. while the interest rates onregular government debt averages aboutfour per cent, those rates average morethan seven per cent on p3 projects (andin one case exceeded 14 per cent).

interesting, the government – whichhas the ability to reply to an auditorgeneral’s findings within the reportitself – chose to stay silent on this pointin her report.

she also tallied up the incentives paidto the oil and gas industry over the pastfive years. the incentives are creditsdesigned to encourage the productionof oil and gas, and the total has nowballooned to $1.25 billion.

while it’s no doubt true that a lotof companies wouldn’t be as active ingas exploration without those credits,that $1.25 billion can be deducted fromfuture royalty payments, which means alot of natural gas will have to be extractedbefore the government even sees a nickelfrom many companies operating in thesector. bellringer noted last year’s budgetincluded revenue generated by the sale ofmore than $600 million in public assets,and she rightly pointed out those wereone-time sales that can’t generate similarrevenue in the future.

that was not a new observation(many people pointed this out whenfinance minister mike de Jong tabledthe 2013-14 budget) but it serves asa reminder how difficult it may be tobalance future budgets.

this was bellringer’s first majorreport on government finances sinceshe was appointed auditor-general atthe end of may, and it’s an encouragingsign that she’s going to be a force to bereckoned with.

The Editor,re: “crown says surrey

party bus brawl ‘screams’ forgreater regulation,” the Nowonline and page a17 in thisedition.

my daughter danielleand i have been lobbyingfor changes to the party busindustry since the deathof my daughter shannon.she was 16 when she diedin 2008, and her death wasdirectly related to activities

on board a booze-soakedparty bus.

the government didn’tlisten to us, thinking thather death was isolated – theywere wrong. had theylistened, ernest azoadamwould be celebratinghalloween with his friendsand family. Granted, hisautopsy came back thathe was absent of alcoholand drugs, however, thebus he was on was also

alcohol-fuelled and, similarto shannon’s case, thepolice had to re-interviewthe partiers several timesbecause they were sointoxicated the night ernestdied, they were not able toprovide an accurate accountof the evening.

interestingly, the busernest died on is the exactbus mackenzie Gortva wason when she was beatenand left at a truck stop in

abbotsford. in spite ofthreats by our governmentthat they will take actionagainst these companies,that very same unlicensedbus company associatedwith mackenzie and ernesthas now opened anotherparty bus company under adifferent name.

danielle and i have metwith several politicians,including our local mla,mayor, Vancouver city

council and provincialministers of transportationand justice, yet still nochanges.

we have been invitedto speak at the senatein olympia in January.washington state has beenwatching what has occurredin b.c. and they do notwant the same atrocities tohappen in their state. theyare trying to introducelegislation to tighten theoperation of the industry ina preventative measure. ourgovernment, on the otherhand, sits and waits for anincident, then they makepromises – empty promises.

rest assured, the law ofaverages will continue toroll, and another nightmarewill unfold on anotherfamily’s doorstep as it did onmine and the azoadam’s.

thank you for your article– it gave me renewed faith.

surrey — a communicationsexpert says social media hasbecome a “critical” componentin running an election campaign,but warns there are risks to thetools as well.

the use of various platformshas exploded over the lastnumber of years as a place togather information, connect andconverse. and seeing as mostplatforms are free – it’s a goodway to get a message out in aneconomical way.

for these reasons, it’s essentialfor campaigns to be connectedand engaging on socialmedia, said sfu professor ofcommunications peter chow-white.

“four or five years ago, we wereasking the question, ‘should yoube on social media?’ nowadays,it would be odd if you were not,”he said.

the u.s. presidential electionrace between then-vice presidentrichard nixon and John f.Kennedy in 1960 solidified therole of television in politicalcampaigns, he noted, and today,social media has become just asessential.

“before (the 1960 u.s.presidential election) being ontelevision wasn’t so important.after that, you had to be ontelevision or be ready for it andunderstand it. we’ve gone acrossthat threshold in the world insocial media in our society. youexpect people to be on thesethings and this is where you go toaccess information about them.”

chow-white said if candidates

are not online, it indicates“perhaps somebody is not quiteas in touch or interested inconnecting as other candidates.”

there are many benefits tobeing active on social mediaduring a campaign, henoted.

“you get torepresent yourown message.you’re solelyresponsiblefor your ownmessage. it’s notfiltered or framedby any media outletwhatsoever or anybodyelse. you have that control.but you also have a direct linewhere you can interact directlyacross geography. you don’t haveto be at a town hall, you can holda twitter town hall. it providesthat opportunity in a campaign,”he said.

but the danger, warns chow-white, is saying or doing

something deemed unacceptable.“you have to be careful. it’s

just like any other form ofcommunication. you have to becareful what you tweet, whatyou like, what you become

associated with on youraccounts. we’ve seen

improperly usedpersonal accountsbe connected toa profile and thatends campaignsvery, veryquickly.”chow-white

said while politiciansgenerally want messages

to be positive during elections,on social media candidates canencounter negative messages, andthose who don’t agree with theirmessage.

“to deal with trolling, tohandle that, is to call it whatit is and address that in asocial media account. it’s anopportunity within this negative

type of behaviour from users,”he said. “blocking trollers andnot responding to legitimatequestions are two differentthings. blocking trollers is alegitimate strategy, it’s a logicalthing to do, but to not engagerelevant questions from voters,if you’re being ignored by apolitician, is that someone you’regoing to vote for?”

chow-white said it’sinteresting that in the lastprovincial election, he was askedwho he thought would win.while everyone expected the bcndp to be victorious, chow-white noted at the time the bcliberals were much more activeon social media. based on theirsocial media activity, he predictedthe liberals would win.

“and oddly enough theydid,” he said. “it was interestingthat that observation, there’sno causation to it, but thatkind of observation had somesort of relationship to them

winning, with a much bettersocial media campaign. did thatmake a difference? i don’t know,maybe. if it made a five per centdifference and put them over thehump, that’s a big difference.”

he also pointed to calgarymayor naheed nenshi, who wasactive on social media and madeit to office.

“and social media probablyplayed a role in that,” he noted.

but, as in all aspects ofcampaigns, social media accountsprobably won’t showcasesomeone’s true personality.

“if you’re looking for thereality of somebody, a campaignis probably not the best place tofind it. politicians who are goodat being authentic, whether that’sa real portrayal or it’s somethingthey’re emphasizing about theirpersonality, that’s as old ascampaign strategies go. not justwhat you do on social media, buthow you use it, can reflect that.”

surrey — Voters looking to get theirballots in early this election hopefully didtheir research before arriving at pollingstations saturday (nov. 1) morning, as twocandidates were not listed under their partyname.

maz artang and mike bose of barinderrasode’s one surrey team were instead listedwith no disclaimers beside their names for thefirst two hours of advanced voting, making itappear that they are running as independents.

“it’s very unfortunate and it’s causing a lotof voter confusion for people going into theballot box looking for seven (one surrey)candidates and only seeing five,” said rasodesaturday, who added they are now seekinglegal advice.

“our legal advisers are saying they’venever heard of such an egregious ballot errorbefore.”

rasode said she was first alerted to themistake when a supporter called up sayingthey had gone to vote for her team, only to

find that there were just five names listedunder “one surrey.”

a statement sent out on behalf of the city’schief elections officer Jane sullivan saturdayafternoon stated the error was noticed andnew ballots were printed out immediately.

as the new ballots were being printed,advanced voting was suspended for 55minutes and polling stations remained open55 minutes later until 8:55 p.m. that evening.

surrey first’s campaign manager stewartbraddick also weighed in on the matter,saying that all candidates should have beennotified of the suspension of voting prior to ithappening.

“campaigns were encouraging voters tocome out and participate in the first day ofadvance polls,” said braddick in a statement.

while rasode had been told earlier inthe day the erroneous ballots would still becounted, sullivan said in her statement thatballots cast prior to the suspension wouldbe held separately from the others until shereceives further direction from elections bc.

it was unclear by press time how manyballots were affected.

surrey — an all-candidates meetingheld tuesday night (oct. 28) at the historicshannon hall on cloverdale fairgroundsyielded answers from council hopefulsregarding their vision for the site’sredevelopment.

candidates had wildly varying takes onwhat to do with fairgrounds, a property witha variety of buildings and venues, and hometo the cloverdale rodeo since 1938.

once the site for blue-ribbon cattle, itis now popular for flea market sundays,professional wrestling shows and, this pastsummer, the surrey night market debutedthere with plans to continue and grow infuture years.

independent mayoral candidate Johnwolanski would bring in a new ice rink andan indoor pool similar to that in fleetwood.

“the people deserve it,” he said.Grant rice, another independent seeking

the mayor’s chair, asked why the newcloverdale rec centre didn’t include a pool.

one surrey mayoral contender barinderrasode committed to building a new tradecentre on the site, and either a pool or an icerink – dependent on community feedback.

but surrey first’s mayoral candidatelinda hepner said rasode seems to haveforgotten that the city has twice gone to theprivate sector for partnership, but notednone stepped forward. former mayor dougmccallum, leading the safe surrey coalition,said “it’s time for action” at the fairgrounds.

independent John edwards said he wantsa convention centre – not a trade centre – forthe site, noting there are 19 across canada.

what do council candidates think?one surrey’s mike bose, a hockey coach

for years, said he would twin or even triplethe rink, as was originally planned when itwas built.

safe surrey’s laurie Guerra noted herteam’s plan to revamp the parks andrecreation budget, but said the fairgroundswould be up to community feedback.

surrey first’s barbara steele said the cityhas set up a task force to bring stakeholderstogether to look at the best use of theproperty, but wouldn’t proceed until the citycan financially support it.

teammate bruce hayne said rasode plansto sell city land to fund her plan.

tom Gill, also with surrey first, said the137-acre site is a “jewel,” adding,“we want tokeep this for our future.”

one surrey candidate brian young,president of the cloverdale chamber ofcommerce, said he wouldn’t put the city indebt to build.

surrey first’s Judy Villeneuve noted avariety of completed projects in cloverdale,including the youth park, phase one of surreymuseum and the surrey animal resourcecentre.

independent cliff blair, unlike any othercandidates, wanted to make the fairgrounds a“destination theme park.”

new westminster— emmanuel dario willbe sentenced in march forhis role in a “bloody andsenseless” cloverdale brawlin 2012 involving teenagerswho’d just got off a party bus.

a jury in b.c. supremecourt in new westminsterfound dario guilty of twocounts of aggravated assault,but not guilty of a thirdcharge of aggravated assaultand assault with a weapon.

the July 18, 2012 brawlerupted between recent highschool graduates and dario,a motorist who crossed theirpath behind a husky gasstation at 176th street andhighway 10.

“this case is a tragicexample of what can happenwhen underaged teens areallowed to get drunk on ‘partybuses,’” crown prosecutorwinston sayson said.“thebloody and senseless violencein this case screams for greaterregulation and monitoring ofparty bus operators.”

a charter bus carryingabout 50 young people duringan after-grad celebrationmade a pit stop at the huskystation late that wednesday

night.“they’re from all over

surrey, these youth,” surreyrcmp sgt. drew Graingersaid at the time.“thisconfrontation quicklyescalated violently and wasfueled by a toxic mix ofalcohol, testosterone and poorjudgment.”

some young men, most ofthem 18 or 19 years old, weremilling around in the backparking lot when a minivandrove up and all hell brokeloose. the minivan’s windowswere smashed in. Graingersaid someone loosed a cloudof bear spray after the driver,a 22-year-old surrey man, gotout of his vehicle.

dario told the jury he hadacted in self-defence after oneof the party bus riders slashedhis chest and others trashedhis van. the jury heard hewhacked three victims onthe head with a two-by-fourand threw a rock at a fourthperson.

sayson argued that dariohad acted out of anger andvengeance, responding withdisproportionate force onpeople who had nothingto do with the slashing orvandalism.

dario’s sentencing hearingis set for march [email protected]

surrey — surrey’s councillor hopefulsfound focus on business and social issuesduring the third all-candidates meeting atthe surrey board of trade last wednesday(oct. 29).

while some points were repeatedfrom earlier meetings, the topicsallowed candidates to offerviewpoints on new issues. dueto the format of the event, allcandidates were not requiredto speak to all questionsbut were instead able topick which questions theyanswered.

candidates were asked if theywould support any form of expandedgambling in the city of surrey in lieu of thecurrent council rejecting a proposed southsurrey casino in early 2013.

surrey first incumbent coun. marymartin has not changed her mind sincevoting against the proposal, adding the cityis already surrounded by communities withcasinos.

“i think we have enough casinos, there’senough availability for people who want togo and have their fun,” she said. “i just willnot support any more casinos in city ofsurrey. fraser downs is a great facility andbig enough for our city.”

independent nav dhanoya cited langleyas being the only debt-free city in the regionfor one reason, a casino.

“cascades pays $5.5 million every yearin taxes to langley. is that a good

thing? half the people say it’sgood, the other half say theydon’t want it, so what shouldwe do?” he asked. “do youwant to pay all the taxes?”

mike bose of one surreysaid he was not a gambler nor

did he want to see it expandedin surrey.

“i don’t believe in gambling, i’m aturkey farmer and that’s gambling enoughfor me,” he said.

bose opposes gambling in cloverdaleas well and said all of the promises that itwould have enhanced the racing experiencethere have fallen short.

“it’s a destination thing, so let’s keepVegas, Vegas and surrey, surrey,” he said.

touraj Ghanbar-Zedah said he wasflat-out opposed to gambling and woulddo everything he could to stop it fromexpanding in surrey.

“i think gambling is really a despicableway of preying on honourable people,” headded.

cliff blair said, having met the owners ofvarious casinos, he would not be in supportof bringing more gambling to surrey.

“they (casino owners) don’t live here.they live in other parts of eastern canada,the u.s. or china,” he said. “what bothersme most about this gaming thing is thatwe were sold the idea of gaming so ouryoung people could have hockey teams andfootball teams and they would contribute tothat. have you seen that? the money doesn’tgo where it was promised, it goes to the bigpockets in eastern canada. we have what wehave. let’s leave it at that.”

the second unique topic of the night wasbringing a supervised safe injection site tosurrey.

one surrey’s Khal dosanjh said as adowntown eastside beat cop, he’s seen first-hand how a safe injection site works.

“as much as we don’t want this in ourbackyard, recovery is important,” he said,detailing the positives of the clinic.

dhanoya, himself a bylaw officer withthe city of langley, said he’s come acrossaddicts who have overdosed in parks andother public areas and said surrey needs asafe injection site.

“this is reality, this is the real world welive in and we need this to help people,” hesaid.

blair said there was no such thing as a“safe injection site,” as putting any chemicalsin the body should not be considered “safe.”

“abstinence is the only way to detox fromdrugs,” said blair. “Giving people a freespace to do their thing is not appropriate.”

other questions from the meetingsurrounded the issues of crime,transportation and homelessness, much ofwhich had been covered at the previous twonights’ meetings.

newton – the north delta secondaryhuskies field hockey team might not havebeen a favourite to qualify for the provincialchampionships, but the huskies still have ashot.

despite finishing sixth place, the teamwill play in a wild-card game in chilliwackon tuesday (nov. 4) with the winnerqualifying for the high school provincialchampionships, which start on thursday(nov. 6) at southern okanagan secondary.

ndss went into the fifth-place game withonly a 30-minute break after a tough 3-2 lossto Gleneagle secondary, and subsequentlylost the following game 5-0 to riversidesecondary.

had the team managed to win either oneof wednesday’s (oct. 29) matches, theywould have automatically qualified forprovincials.

“we’re the underdogs,” said team captain

amber sandhu. Qualifying for provincials“will show that we’re actually strong enoughand we’re capable to go (that) far. noteveryone thinking … they’re not at our level.”

sandhu, who is one of the six seniors onthe team, mentioned the huskies couldn’tget any momentum due to all of the goalsriverside scored. she added that it killedsome of the belief the team had in pursuing acomeback.

priya randhawa, a junior national teamplayer, is one of the coaches of the team andsaid all of the games took a toll on some ofthe rookies.

“it was four games in the last two daysand they’re not used to that,” said the formerhusky.“they played really well consideringtheir experience.”

even though the team qualified forprovincials last year, randhawa said it wouldbe very surprising for them to make a repeatappearance.

cloVerdale – lord tweedsmuirpanthers fumbled several snaps on a wet,halloween afternoon, handing the st.thomas moore Knights a 33-14 victory.

the panthers (4-2) struggled to keep holdof the ball, which they turned over fourtimes, and Knights’ quarterback terrell Jana.

Jana scored four touchdowns, two inthe air and two on the ground. after beingheld in check in the first half, he was able tobreak down the panthers’ defence duringthe final 24 minutes.

“we knew what he was capable of. heplayed here in Grade 8,” said tweedsmuirhead coach Kurt thorton. “as the gamewore down, he did a good job of waiting forour edge to collapse.”

thorton said it was tough for some of the

players to lose their final home game of theseason and it puts so much more emphasison next week’s game in Kelowna. thewinner of that game will finish third in thedivision with home-field advantage in thefirst round of the playoffs.

panthers’ captain caleb abraham rushed21 times for more than 200 yards includinga nine-yard touchdown.

he said it was disappointing losing theirlast home game and they weren’t “preparedfor how fast” the Knights were.

“we didn’t pick up the blitz well,”abraham added.

both teams struggled to get the pass gamegoing. lord tweedsmuir’s other touchdowncame from a one-yard quarterback sneak.

the panthers final game of the season ison saturday (nov. 8) at 3:30 p.m. at capitalnews centre in Kelowna.

Annual White Rock calendarhonours late resident painter

enGaGe

tribute

white rocK — those who weren’t inattendance at white rock’s internationalartist day festival gala on oct. 24 missed outon seeing some great original art, includingthat of late white rock-based painter Vojislavmorosan who painted up hundreds of scenesof the city by the sea before his death in2008.

but those who missed it still have a chanceto enjoy morosan’s works for all of 2015,as the annual tourism white rock’s artcalendar is paying special tribute to the artistby sharing 13 of his paintings in its 2015calendar.

“when i discovered the collection andrealized, indeed, Vojislav had 200-pluspaintings of white rock, i realized thisneeded recognition and what better way todo it than through our calendar?” said betinaalbornoz, executive director of tourismwhite rock. albornoz organizes the annualtourism white rock calendar, which she saysalternates between showcasing visual art andphotography each of the six years it has beengoing on for.

“as i was doing a bit of research on who hewas, i found out that so many knew him andso many people remembered him at prettymuch every corner of our city,” she said ofthe late artist. “painting the waterfront, the

uptown area, the five corners… i think it’sthe most representative work of our city thati have seen.”

derek hayes, who also helped put togetherthe calendar, echoed the sentiment.“ican well recall seeing him around the city,painting away. lots of people can,” he said.“he was quite a fixture for many years.”

albornoz also said he painted a lot ofhouses on the peninsula as well.

“through this process i discoveredpeople who could identify their places in hispaintings,” she said, chuckling.

of the 13 paintings that made the cut,albornoz said those chosen include iconiclandmarks like the actual white rock, themuseum, the train, as well as a city trolley.

during the iad festival gala on oct. 24,morosan’s wife of 26 years, norma, was thereto sign copies of the calendar and, accordingto albornoz, she was “ecstatic” to see her latehusand’s painting get the recoginition theydeserved.“it is special because i personallydon’t know any other artists who have thisquantity and the quality of these paintings,”albornoz said. the city offered to hosta display of morosan’s paintings for twoweeks (up until nov. 15) at the white rockcommunity centre as part of the art ondisplay program.

the special tribute art calendar by tourismwhite rock is available for $12 at thewhite rock information centre, online atinwhiterock.com and other select locations.

The Editor,re: “crown says surrey

party bus brawl ‘screams’ forgreater regulation,” the Nowonline and page a17 in thisedition.

my daughter danielleand i have been lobbyingfor changes to the party busindustry since the deathof my daughter shannon.she was 16 when she diedin 2008, and her death wasdirectly related to activities

on board a booze-soakedparty bus.

the government didn’tlisten to us, thinking thather death was isolated – theywere wrong. had theylistened, ernest azoadamwould be celebratinghalloween with his friendsand family. Granted, hisautopsy came back that hewas absent of alcohol anddrugs, however, the bus hewas on was also alcohol-

fuelled and, similar toshannon’s case, the policehad to re-interview thepartiers several times becausethey were so intoxicatedthe night ernest died, theywere not able to providean accurate account of theevening.

interestingly, the busernest died on is the exactbus mackenzie Gortva wason when she was beatenand left at a truck stop in

abbotsford. in spite ofthreats by our governmentthat they will take actionagainst these companies,that very same unlicensedbus company associatedwith mackenzie and ernesthas now opened anotherparty bus company under adifferent name.

danielle and i have metwith several politicians,including our local mla,mayor, Vancouver city council

and provincial ministers oftransportation and justice, yetstill no changes.

we have been invitedto speak at the senatein olympia in January.washington state has beenwatching what has occurredin b.c. and they do not wantthe same atrocities to happenin their state. they are tryingto introduce legislation totighten the operation of theindustry in a preventative

measure. our government,on the other hand, sits andwaits for an incident, thenthey make promises – emptypromises.

rest assured, the law ofaverages will continue to roll,and another nightmare willunfold on another family’sdoorstep as it did on mineand the azoadam’s.

thank you for your article– it gave me renewed faith.

Julie Raymond

Another party bus nightmare is sure to unfold

debateletters

The Editor,as a longtime resident of surrey, i would like to call upon

civic politicians and candidates to increase the amountof green space in neighbourhoods, especially those withsecondary suites.

over the years, surrey has witnessed steady populationgrowth and the proliferation of housing to meet thegrowing demand. with a majority pro-development citycouncil in surrey over the last few decades, it could beargued that local politicians “never met a subdivision theydidn’t like.” beautiful trees and green spaces were destroyedfor poorly planned housing development and growth.

the city basically failed to respond with adequate cityplanning and urban design.

for example, i feel secondary suites and a lack of parkingare the major challenges the city faces currently.

there are close to 26,000 secondary suites registered withthe city. multiple or larger families residing in the samehouse results in more vehicles. homeowners are beingforced to pave over their lawns to make room for parking.the streets are crowded with cars.

this results in a lack of green space and play areas. it’s notsafe for children to play on crowded residential streets. it’san accident waiting to happen. the long-term impact canbe devastating to the environment and the safety and well-being of our communities.

so, what’s the solution? i recommend that the cityplanner incorporate the following amenities for all newsurrey neighbourhood developments, especially thosewith secondary suites: overflow community parking areas;community gardens; well-lit pedestrian park routes forwalking and bicycle trails; more community parks, playareas and green spaces and tree-lined residential streets.

it’s about the beautification and sustainability of our city.it’s about the wellbeing and safety of our communities. weneed to protect our environment and preserve the naturalcharacter of our neighbourhoods, as well as provide safeand healthy green spaces for our residents to enjoy.

alex sangha, surrey

a jury in b.c. supreme court in newwestminster found dario guilty of twocounts of aggravated assault, but not guiltyof a third charge of aggravated assault andassault with a weapon.

the July 18, 2012 brawl erupted betweenrecent high school graduates and dario,a motorist who crossed their path behinda husky gas station at 176th street andhighway 10.

“this case is a tragic example of what canhappen when underaged teens are allowedto get drunk on ‘party buses,’” crownprosecutor winston sayson said. “the bloodyand senseless violence in this case screams forgreater regulation and monitoring of partybus operators.”

a charter bus carrying about 50 young

people during an after-grad celebrationmade a pit stop at the husky station late thatwednesday night.

“they’re from all over surrey, these youth,”surrey rcmp sgt. drew Grainger said at thetime. “this confrontation quickly escalatedviolently and was fueled by a toxic mix ofalcohol, testosterone and poor judgment.”

some young men, most of them 18 or 19years old, were milling around in the backparking lot when a minivan drove up and allhell broke loose. the minivan’s windows weresmashed in. Grainger said someone loosed acloud of bear spray after the driver, a 22-year-old surrey man, got out of his vehicle.

dario told the jury he had acted in self-defence after one of the party bus ridersslashed his chest and others trashed his van.the jury heard he whacked three victims onthe head with a two-by-four and threw a rockat a fourth person.

sayson argued that dario had acted outof anger and vengeance, responding withdisproportionate force on people who hadnothing to do with the slashing or vandalism.

white rocK — if there was onetakeaway issue from thursday night’s whiterock all-candidates meeting, and one that’sbeen most constant in the lead up to thenov. 15 election, it’s development.

the issue seemed top of mind for the 250potential voters gathered to hear candidatesspeak, as many applauded commentsrelating specifically to the issue during thetwo-hour event. all 17 councillor and bothmayoral candidates were present.

while questions specifically targetedtopics like the official community plan(ocp), taxation and infrastructure upkeep,talking points inevitably seemed to all boildown to development.

for independent david chesney, runner-up in the last two elections, developmenthas not helped the city’s businesses,pointing out an increase in “for lease” signsin the city’s commercial areas.

“where we’re sitting (white rockcommunity centre) is where the

densification happens,” he said, pointingout the controversial bosa towers highrisedevelopment. “be very careful about thethings said here tonight, we need to keepthe development to the town centre, veryplain and simple.”

doug hart, of the white rock coalitionsaid the ocp was “the benchmark fordevelopment” and he wanted to seethe residents help update that in thecoming year. hart also floated the idea ofintroducing tax incentives for developers toencourage “smart development” in the city.

longtime community activist patpetrala said city hall has not been listeningto residents as evidenced by developmentsapproved in the past few years, and

questioned the point of council’scommunity consultation.

“community input has beenshelved, we’ve watched highrisescome in, mega homes and we didn’twant them,” she said.

former councillor margaretwoods agreed with petrala’sassessment.

“i want to point outthe bosa deal was votedin very quickly,” saidwoods, adding 3,500residents didn’t wantit but five councillorsvoted it through.“what i heard is we’regoing to have meetings…we already have a process andit’s called public hearings but thepublic say, ‘we don’t want it and itgoes through.’”

incumbent coun. helen fatherssaid it takes four votes on councilto make something happen andnoted that unlike others runningfor re-election, she does not accept

donations from developers.“the majority on council are

development-friendly,” she said.white rock bia president lynne

sinclair said she opposed the bosadevelopment but didn’t want tokeep white rock looking back intothe past.

incumbent mayor waynebaldwin said he wanted to refine

the area of the city along 16thavenue around north

bluff. for taxation,he said contraryto the perception,development in whiterock has actuallybeen slow going,

therefore eliminating thechances of changing the tax

schemes.“business taxes and residential

taxes are set on a ratio,“ heexplained.“our growth is sosmall, you can only take dccs(development cost charges) forgrowth so there’s almost no moneywe can collect.”

mayoral challenger david

bradshaw also challenged baldwinon the current council’s handling ofthe ocp.

“the problem isn’t theory withocp, the problem is you have tofollow the damn thing,” he said.

“this ‘comprehensive development’thing is a beauty, there are noguidelines for comprehensivedevelopment zones. i’m running formayor to clean everything up, tellme what you want done, i’ll make

sure it’s followed.”to see what all candidates had
