60 ALLEGED RIOTERS NOW FACING CHARGES: ONE-THIRD ARE FROM SURREY

Watts challenger targets new city hall Ross Buchanan calls City Centre project a costly ‘boondoggle’ by Tracy Holmes A SOUTH Surrey resident run-

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Crowds in downtown Vancouver caused massive property damage following the Canucks’ Stanley Cup loss on June 15.

Most suspects from suburbs Stanley Cup mayhem called the ‘largest crime spree in the history of B.C.’ by Jeff Nagel MOST OF the first batch of 60 suspects facing

charges for their involvement in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot are from Metro Vancouver suburbs, with more than one-third of them hailing from Surrey. Vancouver Police Department Chief Jim Chu said 163 charges are being recommended against 60 people. Twenty-one alleged rioters are from

Surrey, while 12 are from Vancouver, nine are from Burnaby and four are from Maple Ridge. Two each are from Abbotsford and Delta, while one each is from Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Victoria, Courtenay, West Kelowna and Seattle. Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles and looted stores in downtown Vancouver after the Boston Bruins beat the

Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Cup final. “The people who rampaged that night must be held accountable for their actions,” Chu said, calling it the “largest crime spree in the history of B.C.” Onlookers shot video and photos on cellphones and posted them on social media, fuelling what has become a massive crowdsourced police investigation.

ning for mayor in the Nov. 19 civic election is calling for a halt to any construction on the new city hall. But incumbent Dianne Watts says Ross Buchanan’s appeal – along with claims the project will cost at least $97 million and up to $200 million – is “totally unrealistic.” “That’s not going to happen,” Watts said. “This is a whole complex plan of moving the Ross Buchanan city forward. I understand that he needs an election issue – I get that – but this has been in the works for a very long time. “There’s a big hole in the ground and contracts have been let, and so we’re not going to put all those people out of work, start cancelling contracts and leave a big hole in the city centre.” See MUNICIPAL HALL / Page 5

Judy Higginbotham’s ‘re-elect’ signs draw fire from opponents Former Surrey councillor says after 25 years in office, the term is accurate

Disturbing report stalls sex assault hearing

by Kevin Diakiw

by Tracy Holmes

JUDY HIGGINBOTHAM is asking voters to “re-elect” her to Surrey council,

THE SENTENCING hearing for a man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman in South Surrey was adjourned this week, after lawyers were caught off-guard by findings of a psychiatric report on Dardan Elbasani. “It is probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen and has completely changed the landscape for both counsels,” Crown Jennifer Lopez told Judge Ellen Gordon in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday. Elbasani, 23, was arrested in a Niagara Falls, Ont., casino last July in connection with a June 16 sexual assault in Southmere Village Park. At the Dardan time, he was Elbasani also wanted on outstanding warrants in Surrey, White Rock and Langley. Lopez told Gordon that she and Elbasani’s lawyer only received the psychiatric report on the day prior, on Oct. 31. It notes that Elbasani’s drug use made the assessment difficult, Lopez said. Gordon ordered a supplemental report, and the sentencing hearing is now set for Jan. 18. Elbasani remains in custody.

even though she hasn’t held a seat there in three years. The term “re-elect” on campaign signs is usually reserved for political incumbents, however the rules regarding municipal elections in B.C. are silent on when the term can be used. Higginbotham put the question of whether to use the term or not to her election team about a month ago. It was unanimous, she said Tuesday, to go with “re-elect.” “I spent 25 years on council,” Higginbotham said. “I took a sabbatical.” Some independent council candidates don’t see it that way and are bothered that Higginbotham would use the term after being out of office for a while. Gary Robinson, who is running for city council under the Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) banner, was also a city councillor 12 years ago. “It is something I could have done. It wouldn’t have been honest though,” Robinson said, pointing out Higginbotham’s use of the term points directly to what concerns him about the current council. “This election is actually about Gary Robinson accountability, openness and honesty,” Robinson said. “That’s just another example of how some liberties are being taken by, not only some of the existing councillors, but also some of the old wanna-be councillors.” Independent Susan Thomas was also miffed that Higginbotham is giving the impression she’s an incumbent. “It’s very misleading,” Thomas said. “I don’t think it’s a fair representation. I guess if anything, I’m not happy with that, because it’s not a true and accurate statement.” SCC’s Stephanie Ryan also said it’s a deceptive practice. “It’s disingenuous,” Ryan said. “Judy is not currently on council and if they’re brand new signs, some people would say it’s intentionally misleading.” The civic election is Saturday, Nov. 19.

“That’s just another example of how some liberties are being taken by, not only some of the existing councillors, but also some of the old wanna-be councillors.”

From page 1

Police: Lab analysis key From page 1 The VPD has asked Crown counsel to charge all 60 initial suspects with participating in a riot, while many also face charges including mischief, assault or break and enter. “This is just the beginning as we expect to announce more arrests in the weeks and months ahead,” Chu said. Several hundred people could ultimately be prosecuted, he said. The VPD has been under fire in recent months because no suspects had yet been charged, despite the fact dozens of them had come forward and confessed. Chu defended the VPD decision not to “rush cases to court” and instead conduct a “thorough” investigation. “We believe the community supports the independence of the police and our professional judgement to conduct thorough investigations, not cut corners in order to satisfy the vocal criticisms of a few,” he said. Chu said one 21-yearold Vancouver Island rioter who confessed after being outed on Facebook would have been charged only for one count of mischief involving a single car had police moved quickly.

But he said the Indianapolis lab analyzing thousands of hours of video has since determined the man damaged six vehicles and broke into three stores that night, resulting in multiple charges. A database at the lab is able to quickly scan a suspect against 15,000 identified criminal acts recorded on video. A Burnaby man with a prior record was caught because of blood DNA he left at the scene. Chu said the database then found video of the suspect punching someone in the back of the head and trying to hide his face as he looted a store. The man faces charges of assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, disguise with intent to commit an offence and participating in a riot. Chu said the lab has been invaluable, even helping identify rioters who masked up. Others arrested include: • A drunk 21-year-old Delta man with no criminal record who police say joined the mayhem, smashing the tail lights and window of a parked truck before helping set it on fire. • A 23-year-old Surrey woman who can be seen on video using a cigarette lighter to set fire to a police care and then

smashing it several times with a piece of wood. She has no record but faces charges of participating in a riot, mischief and arson. • A 52-year-old Port Coquitlam man caught on video looting a store. He’s the oldest suspect facing charges so far and has a long criminal record for theft, break and enter and sex offences. The 50 men arrested range in age from 16 to 52, while 10 women facing charges are 16 to 22. The average age of the suspects is 21. Prosecutors must still approve charges. Crown prosecutor Neil McKenzie told reporters some suspects could be charged and appear in court by December. The VPD has posted dozens of images of suspected rioters to its website (https://vancouver. ca/police/riot2011/) and has asked for public help in identifying them. B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond said she’s confident the province’s team of five prosecutors assigned to the case is capable of handling the flow of charge requests from police. “This is an extensive number of charges that potentially will be laid,” she said. Bond cautioned they are just allegations so far. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Wages Surrey civic election lacking excitement are still too low SURREY MAYOR Dianne Watts has fudged her

ON OCT. 29 the provincial minister

of labour announced an increase in the general minimum wage on Nov. 1 to $9.50 per hour – an increase following another adjustment May 1 from $8 to $8.75. There are three fundamental deficiencies in the government’s minimum wage policy: 1). The minimum wage is still too low; 2). The lower minimum wage for liquor servers is discriminatory; and 3). The exclusion of handharvesting farmworkers from the minimum hourly wage is discriminatory and out of date. The minimum wage is too low by any objective measure such as the poverty line or measures of a “living wage.” The government’s refusal to increase the minimum wage by the rate of increase in the cost of living between 2002 and 2010 meant that minimum wage earners saw a decline in their real income by 16.5 per cent – one of the factors contributing to an increase in income inequality in B.C. There are six provinces and territories with higher minimum wages than B.C. In addition, there is still no mechanism for predictable annual adjustments to the minimum wage. Bowing to pressure from hotel and restaurant employers, the government introduced in May of this year a new lower minimum wage for liquor servers. The new liquor server rate was set 25 cents per hour below the minimum wage, and on Nov. 1 became 75 cents per hour below the minimum wage. There is no rational or objective basis for this form of discrimination. Liquor servers are not the only service workers who receive tips and gratuities. And tips are not wages therefore employers do not include tips and gratuities in the calculation of CPP and EI contributions. Farmworkers who hand harvest certain fruit, vegetable, berry or daffodil crops are discriminated against by being excluded from the hourly minimum wage. Instead their wage is based on an outdated schedule of piece work rates. This wage discrimination is compounded by the fact that temporary foreign workers who harvest the same crops are guaranteed an hourly minimum wage. The provincial minimum wage discrimination against liquor servers and hand harvesters should be ended because it impacts on some of the most vulnerable and exploited workers in B.C. that are primarily women, immigrant, part-time, casual or seasonal workers.

resume by saying she lives in Cloverdale when she doesn’t. Why is it a problem when other public officials fudge their resumes, but not the mayor? Watts is silent on what the city paid for the economic summit, on how much George Bush was paid, on why she doesn’t back up building inspectors on building code violations, on why she turns a blind eye to city bylaws generally, on what she does for her generous developer and firefighter friends after each election, on why one-third of her handsome salary is tax free, on what the real price of the new city hall will be, and why she is taking land out of the ALR. The Surrey election could be exciting.

It is just missing many of the issues.

Boot the jokers out

IN SURREY, the re-election of the present coun-

cil and its mayor is a given. The fall of Surrey started with Doug McCallum and now continues with Dianne Watts. The present mayor has continued to allow basement suites, builders building monster homes and extensions after inspections, and home businesses with signs on properties – none of them paying their fare taxes and all of them making the rest of

us shoulder those unpaid taxes. Children come out of these homes are not covered in full by their (parents’) property taxes. Thanks to McCallum and now Watts, Surrey has gone to the dogs. So easily are they able to pass on transit fees to our property taxes and gas bills and toll our roads while their travel allowances remain untouched. We take on their yoke and they go smiling to the bank lock, stock and barrel. I call on the people of Surrey to boot these jokers out and not be fooled by the changes made in Surrey. It is we who are the change that make their work easy. Hubert Lobo, Surrey

Tighten Canadian ties: Learn English I THINK it’s great that generations

FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi co-hosts Harnarayan Singh (left) and Amarinder Singh (here with Don Cherry) say their fans want Punjabi broadcasts to continue, but one Surrey letter writer believes there is more value to be had by learning English to enjoy Canada’s national sport.

of East Indians are embracing our national sport and enjoy watching hockey. But if they really desire to tighten the ties with Canada, I suggest learning English just like my family did when they came to Canada. I understand that English is a difficult language to learn but I feel that if East Indians choose to live here, then they should at least learn our language, which happens to be the most widely spoken language in the world. Then East Indian hockey fans can listen and watch hockey with fellow Canadians. People may wish to listen to hockey in their native language, but by listening to it in English they would increase their English vocabulary and CBC would not be pressured to produce an unnecessary show that costs much time and money. Seeing hockey enthusiasm spread through generations is great, but it is more important to learn the national language than it is to enjoy the national sport. Grace Effa, age 14 Surrey

SkyTrain design full of limitations A RECENT letter from Mr. Cruz,

(skytrainforsurrey.org) is full of dated and misleading misinformation, so common with the SkyTrain lobby. Only seven SkyTrain-type systems have been built since it was first marketed in the late 1970s, compared with well over 100 new light rail systems built during the same period. Why? Modern light rapid transit (LRT) improves service on routes which it operates, bringing a quality transit service to former bus routes. SkyTrain is a proprietary minimetro system and if Bombardier Inc. (the present owner) decides to cease production, we would lose our only supplier. No one else builds SkyTrain, unlike modern LRT, which has many suppliers – including Bombardier Inc. What many people do not realize is that SkyTrain was too expen-

sive for the Canada Line and a cheaper, generic, grade-separated, electric multiple unit transit system was built instead. The Canada Line is not compatible to operate with the rest of the SkyTrain system. Speed of LRT is dependent on the quality of rights-of-ways it operates on and the number of stations per route kilometre. LRT operating on a reserved right-

of-ways (which can be a simple as a HOV lane with rails) can obtain commercial speeds equal of that of SkyTrain; LRT operating as a TramTrain on railway lines can obtain higher commercial speeds than SkyTrain. Mr. Cruz, quoting “raw” construction costs, which excludes the cost of cars, signalling and power supplies for the Expo Line in Sur-

Greedy BC Hydro GOOD OLD BC HYDRO. My bill that I have begged to receive in the mail

for six months finally arrived – the first with my smart meter, and it is $15 higher than ever before even though I was away with everything turned off for 10 days. But hey, my measly pension provided bonuses for each of the company’s CEOs. God bless capitalism. Roberta Sawatsky

rey, is again misleading as the same “raw” costs for LRT operating onstreet is about $6 million/km. The Rail for the Valley group, which engaged Leewood Projects from the UK to plan for a Fraser Valley TramTrain service using the old interurban route, found that the full build, 138 kms from Vancouver/Richmond to Rosedale worked out to $7.2 million/km. Modern LRT is affordable if it is designed to be affordable. It sad to see the same old dated rhetoric trundled out by the SkyTrain lobby, especially today when there is such overwhelming evidence that modern LRT is faster than, attracts more ridership than, and is cheaper to build than SkyTrain.

Bank robbery spree ends Two men believed responsible for 21 heists by Kevin Diakiw AT 3:45 P.M. on Sept. 9, a bank robber passed a

teller a note telling her to hand over cash. At exactly the same time, another man was passing a similar note to a teller at a bank a block away. The heists near Highway 10 and 152 Street were part of a spree of bank robberies that would eventually involve 21 banks between Sept 3 and Sept. 27 – the day Joseph Pouliout, 25, and Trevor Yokobouskis, 29, were arrested in Burnaby by Surrey RCMP’s robbery unit. Charges have been approved against the two men, including 14 robbery charges against Pouliout (13 banks and one taxi cab) and eight robbery charges against Yokobouskis (all banks). The alleged robberies span several jurisdictions including Vancouver (three banks), Burnaby (three),

Abbotsford (three), Coquitlam (two), Port Moody (one), Surrey (four banks and a taxi), White Rock (one), Langley (one), Port Coquitlam (one) , Chilliwack (one) and Kelowna (one). “Surrey detachment continues to be at the forefront when it comes to spearheading such large multijurisdictional cases,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. “With the assistance of our crime analysis experts and our partners in law enforcement, we were able to quickly identify linkages between these crimes and ultimately pinpoint the potential suspects.” RCMP are reminding business owners, and their staff about important steps to take if they are robbed. Always comply with the robber’s demands, but pay close attention to what they look like – without staring. Also pay attention to where they went, and preserve any potential evidence.

Tells Missing Women’s Inquiry cop said prostitute was safe by Jeff Nagel A VANCOUVER Police Depart-

ment officer was accused Tuesday of fabricating a story that a missing prostitute whose remains would later be found on the Pickton farm was actually safe and in a drug recovery program. Elaine Allan, who ran the WISH drop-in centre in the Downtown Eastside, testified before the Missing Women Inquiry that VPD Const. Dave Dickson told her in 1999 missing woman Tiffany Drew did not want to be contacted to avoid jeopardizing her recovery. “He lied to me,” Allan said. She had pressed Dickson to investigate the disappearance because Drew’s friend, a woman named Ashwan, was “hysterical” and insistent something was horribly wrong because they used a buddy system to track each other. Dickson seemed indifferent and didn’t file a missing person report, she said. Drew’s DNA was later found in the 2002 excavation of the Port Coquitlam farm. Serial killer Robert Pickton, who was convicted in six other killings, was

charged but never tried for her murder. Relatives of victims who previously testified at the inquiry had praised Dickson, calling him one of the few officers who seemed to take the disappearances seriously. Allan told the inquiry she knew 20 women who vanished from the Downtown Eastside, including five of those Pickton was convicted of murdering. She described Georgina Papin as the “social maven” of the neighbourhood and said she regularly saw the “petite and elphin” Sereena Abotsway. One by one they disappeared, feeding a sense of terror in the Downtown Eastside. “It’s like there was a monster out there,” Allan said. “There was this evil force swallowing up women and we didn’t know what it was.” Allan also recalled ejecting two women from the WISH centre for “hustling dates.” The two women – friends of Pickton’s – repeatedly brought sex trade workers to his farm, according to evidence heard at his trial. The inquiry is investigating how police failed to stop Pickton sooner Star

despite considerable evidence that pointed to him as a suspect. Commissioner Wally Oppal warned inquiry participants that time will be tight in light of the new government deadline of June 30 for a final report. He said testimony will be cut off in late April. “We have to move this thing,” he said. Cameron Ward, the lawyer representing the families of 18 victims, complained of footdragging by authorities who have yet to release critical records. He will argue for an adjournment of the inquiry until those documents are disclosed and to ensure he has adequate time to prepare. That could delay the expected testimony before the inquiry of VPD Deputy Chief Doug LePard, who is set to take the stand next Monday. The VPD has been accused at the inquiry of failing to properly investigate reports of missing sex trade workers or to act on the advice of its own geographic profiler that one or more serial killers were hunting prostitutes in the Downtown Eastside.

FOR THE past 53 years, during civic elections, 83-year-old Colin Sveen has walked a block to cast his vote at Royal Heights Elementary. It was close and convenient for him and his wife, and it was just the way he liked it. That’s come to an end. Surrey has cut the number of polling stations for the Nov. 19 election by 30 per cent. In an attempt to make voting more convenient, instead of requiring voters to cast their ballots at a designated location according to their address, the city is now allowing people to vote at any polling station in the city. But it means Sveen and his wife will have to travel eight kilometres to the nearest polling station, and for the first time in a long time, he’s planning not to vote. “Who now is going to drive over there to those blasted schools when we could have walked up here?” Sveen asked Wednesday, questioning Surrey’s spending priorities. “All they do is waste money on expenses, I don’t know how in hell they managed to pull this off,

but then that damn bunch that’s running Surrey, they don’t care about us.” Surrey council voted last February for a “vote anywhere” program, which reduces the number of polling stations from 74 to 52. “Staff has examined each of the locations that were used in the 2008 election in relation to wheelchair accessibility, parking, whether they were located on a bus route and proximity to shopping and other services that many voters would frequent on a Saturday,” a staff report to council states. City staff say Sveen, or anyone else with a disability or mobility problems, can call the city at 604-591-4011 for a ballot and mail one in. Information on mail-in voting opportunities can be found at: http://www.surrey.ca/election/9754.aspx Sveen can drive, but he doesn’t see why he should have to. He said of all the places to cut, it shouldn’t be at the ballot box. “I’ve never seen such arrogance in all my life as this,” Sveen said. The polling station locations can be found at the city’s website at http://www.surrey.ca/election/9634.aspx kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

No bedbugs in Surrey or Delta libraries Outbreaks have occurred in New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver branches by Boaz Joseph and Kevin Diakiw FOLLOWING BEDBUG scares in New Westminster,

Burnaby and Vancouver, no evidence of bedbugs has been found on the shelves of Delta’s three libraries, nor any of Surrey’s. “We have had no sightings yet – and I say yet because I hope we never do,� said Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL) CEO Rob O’Brennan, whose organization runs 25 libraries from Delta to Boston Bar. Surrey staff were schooled in all things bedbug by a pest control firm this week. They were told little can be done to stop them from coming in to the library, but staff were told how to spot them. If they are found, the book containing them should be bagged and isolated. Then a controlled spraying may begin. The heightened awareness comes after staff in area libraries were informed of the temporary closure of the New Westminster Public Library after bedbugs were found in several books in a small area of the library’s collection. One live bedbug and several dead ones were found in the fiction Rob O’Brennan section, said City of New Westminster spokesman Blair Fryer. O’Brennan says that the finding in New Westminster is disturbing, and Delta staff are actively watching for the problem and asking customers to remain vigilant, as well as informing them of procedures to properly bag, seal and return books if bedbugs are found. While a large area around New Westminster’s collection was treated with high-heat steam as a precaution, Delta would take a different route should bedbugs be found in the library. O’Brennan says 30 minutes in the freezer will kill the parasitic pests. Earlier this last, bedbugs were found in a book borrowed from the Mount Pleasant branch of the Vancouver Public Library. The pests have also been discovered at two library branches in Burnaby.

“We have had no sightings yet – and I say yet because I hope we never do.�

Missing Women Inquiry extended Extra six months gives Wally Oppal until June 30 next year to deliver ďŹ ndings THE PROVINCIAL gov-

ernment has extended the Missing Women Inquiry by an extra six months. The decision gives Commissioner Wally Oppal – who had asked for an extra year – until next June 30 to deliver his findings on why it took so long to catch serial killer Robert Pickton. The inquiry had been supposed to report by the end of

Wally Oppal this year but formal hearings only began Oct. 11 in Vancouver.

Months of further testimony are expected, including evidence from senior Vancouver Police Department (VPD) and RCMP officers. Attorney General Shirley Bond said the six-month extension should mean only an “incremental� increase in the $2.5-million in provincial funding committed for the inquiry so far. The VPD has been accused of failing to

properly investigate reports of sex trade workers who went missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside or to act on advice that one or more serial killers were hunting prostitutes there. RCMP officers will be questioned on how it took until 2002 to catch Pickton, even though he was charged with attempting to murder a prostitute on his Port Coquitlam farm in 1997, and why

they didn’t act on Pickton’s offer to search the farm in 2000. Provincial Crown officials may testify on their decision to drop charges in the 1997 incident. Several women vanished in the five years between the 1997 attack and Pickton’s ultimate arrest, including all six of the women he was ultimately convicted of murdering. Much of the tes-

timony so far has been from relatives of the victims, experts on prostitution and

Former deputy city manager sues Surrey Alleges termination was ‘unlawful’ by Kevin Diakiw THE FORMER deputy city manager for Surrey is suing the city for terminating him without cause last spring. Dan Bottrill filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court on Aug. 11 seeking damages from the City of Surrey for his dismissal. The City of Surrey sought someone for the position of deputy city manager in late 2007. Through a recruiter, the City of Surrey “pursued� Bottrill, according to the statement of claim, “urging him to leave his employment with the District of Abbotsford� to work with Surrey. In its response to the statement of claim filed on Aug. 26, Surrey says it was Bottrill who was pursuing the city regarding the job. Bottrill also claims he was told by a senior manager at city hall that if he was ever terminated, his years with Abbotsford would be included in his notice period or severance or cash in lieu. Surrey denies most of the claims made by Bottrill, and specifically states the city made no such assurances about his time with Dan Bottrill Abbotsford. Surrey allows that Bottrill was considered a 15-year employee when he was hired so he could have five weeks holidays, but none of that was tied to his severance. At the time of his termination, on June 14, 2011, Bottrill was making $198,967 annually, with $25,000 for car allowance, paid overtime, sick bank and performance bonus. “Since his termination, the plaintiff has not found reasonably equivalent full-time employment,� the statement of claim states. “As a result of the unlawful manner of his termination..., (Bottrill) has suffered mental distress and other negative health effects, for which (he) seeks damages...). Surrey claims Bottrill has made his own situation worse by failing to seek alternate employment since his dismissal. None of the claims have been proven in court.

Seven arrested for kidnapping Surrey man connected to gang activity Black Press A SURREY MAN is among seven

people facing kidnapping charges after what police are calling a “terrifying” gang-related incident. Edmond Gammel, 24, faces charges along with suspects that include Thomas Crawford – believed to be the former second-in-command of the Kamloops chapter of the Independent Soldiers gang. Vancouver Police Insp. Brad Desmarais said investigators became aware on Oct. 20 of the kidnapping of a 29-year-old man in downtown Vancouver. He said they launched an “intense and complex” investigation involving more than 40 officers. “The investigators were able to determine that a meeting had been arranged, which resulted in the alleged abduction, which we believe was financially motivated,” Desmarais said. Police say they identified a location in Richmond believed to have been associated with the kidnapping and

began surveillance on Oct. 21. “Not long after, officers watched as a blindfolded male was led into a car, which soon departed in the company of a second suspect SUV,” Desmarais said. Investigators tailing the vehicles saw the car pull over on a Richmond street and the victim thrown from the vehicle. Five people were arrested immediately, while another two have since turned themselves in to police. Desmarais said investigators believe the alleged kidnappers were working with a larger, eastern organized-crime group. Those arrested in addition to Gammell and Carr were: David Tarrant, 28, and Veronica Moncur, 20, of Kamloops; Nazfar Mirhadi, 28, of North Vancouver; Demple Brar, 42, of Richmond; and Robert Ryan Carr, 28, of Abbotsford. All of the accused are slated to appear in court on Nov. 3. Desmarais said the investigation is ongoing. newsroom@blackpress.ca

THE OFFICER in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment was the first Mountie to arrive when a Ford Ranger pickup truck stolen from Surrey was spotted in the Shell gas station near the McDonald’s restaurant at Fraser Highway and 216 Street on Monday morning (Oct. 31).

Supt. Derek Cooke arrived in time to spot the two suspects driving the Ranger through the restaurant drivethrough. “I just happened to be close (when the call came in),” Cooke said. He waited for backup, which arrived in the form of four other RCMP cruisers, and the officers made the arrest without

incident. A 37-year-old man from Surrey and a 27-year-old woman of no fixed address were taken into custody. The woman, who told police she had been picked up in Surrey by the male suspect, was expected to be released without charges after sobering up in the RCMP lock-up.

the study of sewage may not be the first academic pursuit that springs to mind. But Metro Vancouver is betting its new $9-million Annacis Wastewater Centre will offer a tempting real-life lab for scientists and engineers while yielding long-term benefits. It officially opened Oct. 21 at Metro’s biggest sewage treatment plant on Annacis Island. And Metro officials say it’s just the first in a series of planned sustainability academies where the regional district plans to partner with university researchers and private firms to find leading-edge solutions to regional problems. Metro board chair Lois Jackson said the region wants to stop treating sewage simply as a waste. “Sewage is a source of renewable energy and vital nutrients and the work that will take place in the academy will allow us to find novel and innovative ways to extract these important resources,” she said. No researchers have moved in so far. But the first to arrive will be a UBC team exploring how to best reclaim phosphorous – an increasingly scarce commodity needed for fertilizer – from sewage. The Annacis academy is to examine new ways to capture heat from hot water that goes down the sewers and the potential reuse of reclaimed grey water for purposes like irrigation or toilet flushing. Another research area is the cap-

ture of biogas from local treatment plants to feed into the natural gas grid or generate electricity. The federal and provincial governments each contributed $3 million and UBC kicked in $500,000, so Metro’s net capital cost was $2.5 million. UBC civil engineering professor Don Mavinic said the academy is a welcome addition that will allow researchers to test and demonstrate new green technologies. Planners at Metro hope fees paid by researchers and other consultants to use the centre will cover annual operating costs. They also predict the capital investment will more than pay for itself by helping the region generate more revenue from resource recovery and rein in the cost of future sewage treatment plants – two plant replacements are on the drawing board at an estimated cost of $1.4 billion. “A relatively small investment is going to pay off big time for society in the long run,” Metro chief administrator Johnny Carline said. Separating nutrients and contaminants from sewage and capturing the gases that burp out also helps the environment by reducing ocean pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Other sustainability academies being planned include one dedicated to sustainable food production at Colony Farm Regional Park and another focusing on drinking water treatment technology at the new Seymour Capilano Filtration Plant. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Region’s garbage burner loses key customer

Don’t get left in the cold.

Metro Vancouver’s incinerator to switch to just selling electricity by Jeff Nagel METRO Vancouver’s garbage

incinerator in south Burnaby is being forced to retool because it can no longer sell steam to an adjacent industrial plant. The Norampac linerboard mill – which was the only buyer of steam from the waste-toenergy plant – will close down in December, parent firm Cascades Inc. announced. That means Metro must upgrade the incinerator at a cost of $4.2 million to turn all of the steam it generates into electricity for sale to the power grid, said Metro utility planning manager Toivo Allas. The incinerator burns 285,000 tonnes of garbage per year and about a third of the steam produced was piped next door to Norampac. Selling steam was more lucrative than selling electricity, so the conversion will cut into Metro’s revenue. The region earned $11 million from the waste-to-energy plant last year and senior

engineers say that will drop to about $7 million next year because of the loss of steam sales. They expect revenue will rebound, but how much depends on Metro securing a higher electricity rate from BC Hydro when the power sales contract is renegotiated in 2013. Metro hopes most of the electricity output from the incinerator will be counted as green energy and fetch a higher price under B.C.’s Clean Energy Act. Right now about 63 per cent of the electricity would qualify because it is derived from organic and other non-fossil fuel sources. The region has also considered building a pipeline to carry hot water eight kilometres

west to heat a huge housing development being built in southeast Vancouver. The challenges selling steam may provide lessons for Metro as it plans to build new waste-to-energy plants to handle an extra 500,000 tonnes of garbage that the region will stop sending to the Cache Creek landfill. Officials hope any new plant or plants can be located where they can tie into a district energy system serving a cluster of buildings or industries, rather than be tied to a single customer. The extra revenue versus just generating electricity could save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the plant, Metro has estimated. jnagel@surreyleader.com

The strategy focuses on tourism where B.C. has an advantage: Touring vacations, city experiences, skiing and snowboarding, aboriginal tourism, conventions and outdoor adventure-ecotourism. “It’s a switch from promoting B.C. generically to promoting specific activities, the reasons why people come to British Columbia,” said Pat Bell, minister of jobs, tourism and innovation. This winter’s ski promotion has a budget of $1.1 million, half of which will go to advertising in Ontario. The rest will be shared between Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where B.C. has long promoted its “super natural” attractions in generic campaigns.

Avison highlighted two cases where teachers had their certification restored, one after being convicted of sexual assaults on students and another after serving six years in prison for trafficking cocaine. The legislation creates a new B.C. Teachers’ Council with a commissioner to oversee complaints. Discipline panels would no longer have a majority of BCTF appointees.

Stick with B.C. Liberals: Manning Reform Party founder says John Cummins wrong to try to revive provincial Conservatives by Tom Fletcher REFORM PARTY founder Preston

Manning says his former colleague John Cummins is going the wrong direction by trying to revive the B.C. Conservative Party. Manning was invited to the B.C. legislature last month to speak to the B.C. Liberal caucus about his work with the Manning Centre For Building Democracy, his main project since retiring as federal opposition leader in 2002. Premier Christy Clark was visibly pleased to have Man-

ning’s public endorsement, as Cummins and other former Reform and Conservative MPs build a campaign against B.C.’s governing party. “I know all those folks, and I have a long association with John Cummins,� Manning said. “I think he’s one of the most knowledgeable people on the fishery that there is in the country. But I disagree with John on the tack that he’s on. I think in British Columbia it would be better to work within this broader coalition of the Liberal Party.� Manning said the B.C. Liber-

NDP walks fine line on B.C. seats Federal government raises representation in the House by Tom Fletcher FEDERAL NDP leader-

ship candidate Brian Topp picked up more supporters on a visit to the B.C. legislature last week, and walked into a controversy over the allocation of six new MP seats for B.C. The federal government revealed its bill to add 30 House of Commons seats Oct. 27, including six each for B.C. and Alberta, 15 for Ontario and three for Quebec. Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole James, on hand to endorse Topp’s leadership bid, said based on population, B.C. should have nine more seats. Topp is running to lead a federal party now dominated by Quebec MPs, and he avoided taking a position. “The good news in the announcement today, if there’s any of it, is that we’re making progress,� Topp said. “Western Canada and Ontario should get more seats. And it’s the federal party’s job to look at the details and listen to the voices at speak up across the country, and to come to a judgment about what they think about the proposal.�

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix issued a statement calling the seat decision unfair, saying it unfairly favours Alberta and Quebec at the expense of B.C. He said he will write to Prime Minister Stephen Harper asking that B.C. get more seats. B.C. Liberal MLA John Les accused Topp of supporting an increase that would keep the ratio of seats the same in Quebec and other provinces, as western provinces have grown faster. Montreal MP Thomas Mulcair also brought his leadership candidacy to B.C. this week, reflecting the province’s importance as the home of onethird of party members. Topp, the federal party president, added six MLA endorsements Thursday. In addition to James, Vancouver Island MLAs Scott Fraser, Doug Routley, Bill Routley, John Horgan and Maurine Karagianis endorsed Topp. On an earlier visit, Topp was endorsed by Surrey MLAs Sue Hammell, Bruce Ralston, Harry Bains and Jagrup Brar. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

als are the most open party in the country about being a coalition with common goals. Former premier Gordon Campbell and now Clark have reduced the polarized politics established in B.C. during W.A.C. Bennett’s 20 years as premier, he said. “I think positioning one’s self openly as a coalition is the way of the future,� Manning said. “Most parties are, but very few of them talk as openly about it as the premier does.� Cummins was first elected as a Reform Party MP in 1993, and was re-elected to represent

Richmond and Delta five times through Canadian Alliance and Conservative affiliations. Since being acclaimed leader of the long-dormant B.C. Conservative Party in March, he has campaigned against B.C.’s carbon tax and opposed treaties. Clark said she regularly phones Manning to ask his advice. Gwyn Morgan, the former Encana Corp. CEO who has TOM FLETCHER / BLACK PRESS been an advisor to Clark since Preston Manning and Premier Christy her return to politics this year, is Clark speak to reporters after a B.C. also a director of the Manning Liberal caucus meeting at the legislature Centre. tetcher@blackpress.ca Wednesday.

“(Computer safety systems are) not a magic solution.” Norm Prosch While new vehicles, as of September, are all equipped with stability control computercontrolled systems that can control inputs on each wheel to minimize spin-outs or skids, no technology can make up for stupid driving or recognize all road conditions. “It’s not a magic solution,” says Justice Institute driving instructor Norm Prosch. “It’s not magic and it’s not going to replace common sense and driving according to the conditions. “If you’re going too fast, that’s where the rubber meets the road, right there.” To make their point, ICBC and the Justice

COLLEEN FLANAGAN / BLACK PRESS

A difference of 10 km/h can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface. Institute recently set up a demonstration at the B.C. Driving Centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. Media climbed into a new Ford Escape, gunned it down a straight-away to a series of traffic cones, then had to make sharp, evasive turns, according to last-minute signals. The track was flooded, to simulate driving in the rain. Piles of boxes went flying if

the vehicle couldn’t stay in the lane. Prosch said a difference of 10 km/h can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface, if evasive moves are needed. On a wet road, it could be possible to make a sudden lane change at 60 km/h, but lose control at 70 km/h. And often, if drivers are able to avoid an object, such as a cyclist

or pedestrian darting out, the difficult part is moving back into the lane safely. Fiona Temple, ICBC’s road safety director, said many drivers don’t realize that when they drive too fast for the road conditions, their risk of crashing increases significantly. “The reality is that the posted speed limit is only for ideal or dry road conditions.” editor@mapleridgenews.com

Kwantlen soccer squads compete at PacWest playoff

’Hawks win PAN Classic

Season ends in Kelowna

by Rick Kupchuk

THEIR TWO-YEAR run as provincial

champions is over. The Kwantlen Eagles women’s soccer team lost in the semifinal round of the PacWest provincial championship tournament last weekend in Kelowna. Kwantlen Polytechnic University had won gold medals in each of the two previous tournaments. After a convincing 3-0 win over Vancouver Island University in their first game of the six-team tournament, the Eagles were eliminated from championship contention with a 1-0 loss to the UBC-Okanagan Heat. They then fell 3-0 to the Langara Falcons in the bronze medal game Sunday. Kathleen Ehman of Kwantlen was the team’s Player of the Game (POG) in the win Friday. Also winning POG honours were Meghan Nilsson on Saturday and Chelsey Lal of Lindsay Briggs Delta on Sunday. Ehman, Kathleen Gratz and Lal were the goalscorers in Friday’s win. ■ Lindsay Briggs of North Delta was named the Player of the Game for the UBC-Okanagan Heat, 2-1 losers to Thompson Rivers University in the championship game. Briggs scored the Heat goal in the 88th minute. Taylor Sarchett of Surrey was the Heat’s POG in Saturday’s win over Kwantlen, and went on to win the tournament’s Top Midfielder award. ■ Kwantlen’s men’s team, which staged a fantastic rally late in the FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER season just to qualify for the provinShanay Sangha (10) of the Kwantlen Eagles, pictured while in action against the UNBC TImberwolves cial tournament, were eliminated in Friday’s quarterfinal round.

hawks senior girls volleyball team captured its first Peace Arch News (PAN) Classic title Saturday evening at Semiahmoo Secondary, after a win over the defending champion Surrey Christian Falcons. Prior to the event, tournament coordinator Gord Houchen, a teacher at Semi and coach at Clayton Heights Secondary, said it’s often said of the PAN tourney that “whoever wins the PAN Classic, wins provincials,” and that could very well be the case again this year, as the Seahawks are the province’s No. 1-ranked Senior AAA team. The two-day tournament, now in its 20th year, was staged Friday and Saturday at all three South Surrey public high schools – Elgin Park, Earl Marriott and Semiahmoo, with Saturday’s championship round games hosted at Semiahmoo. Rounding out the top-three finishers were the Earl Marriott Mariners, who were ranked fifth in AAAA provincial rankings heading into the PAN Classic. Houchen’s Clayton Heights squad, third-best in B.C. AAA rankings, placed fourth, losing to EMS in the bronze-medal game. Surrey Christian’s Rachel Windhorst was named tournament MVP, while all-star nods went to Breanna Evoy (Clayton Heights), Tess Frey (Clayton Heights), Tessa Davis (Earl Marriott), Kyra Tomei (Seaquam), Kyla Flemmer (Seaquam) and Elise Dejaeger (Surrey Christian).

Keith Clark, a member of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, has been referred to as “one of the greatest horsemen Alberta has ever produced”. And aren’t we lucky that this 56-year-old trainer/driver from De Winton, Alberta, continues to share his genius with the harness racing fraternity at Fraser Downs Racetrack. Clark couldn’t be in two places at the same time this past Sunday afternoon but he did the next best thing by enlisting Mike Arsenault and Gord Abbott to look after his interests on the west coast while Clark was winning a pair of stakes races at Northlands. I think you can call it running a split stable. Clark’s partners on the west coast continued to orchestrate the amazing story of Jennas Pass, winner of last Sunday’s $35,000 Miss Cloverdale. Abbott gunned Jennas Pass for the early lead right off the wings of the starting gate and although forced to a sizzling 26.1 in the early going, she held off all challengers in the stretch to beat Jans Rich Girl (second) and Red Star Dana (third). Jennas Pass was racing for a claiming price of $10,000 in late August at Alberta Downs when the eagle eye of Clark figured he might have found something special. It turned out to be a gold mine. Jennas Pass has not seen a claiming race since and is now riding an eightrace win streak with five of those victories since Clark purchased the five-year-old daughter of Freedoms Pass. When I asked Clark what he saw in Jennas Pass, like a good poker player, he replied: “I can’t tell you my trade secrets.” Fair enough. We’ll just sit back and enjoy the journey. And speaking of journeys, eliminations for Breeders’ Classic Day (Nov. 11) continue this weekend at Fraser Downs. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

Myland, 17, turned aside 44 of 47 shots, including all 27 he faced in the final 40 minutes of regulation time, in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday night in Ladner. The Devils fell behind 2-0 in the first period when Delta tallied twice in a span of 26 seconds. But despite getting outshot 27-14 over the next two frames, the visitors pulled even with goals from Levi De Waal two minutes into the second period and Michael De Luca midway through the third. North Delta had an opportunity to win the game when the Ice Hawks were assessed a two many men on the ice penalty in overtime, but it was Delta getting the winner on a shorthanded effort by Spencer Traher. The single point leaves North Delta will a 4-5-2 (won-lost-tied) record and in fourth place in the Tom Shaw Conference, one point ahead of the North Vancouver Wolf Pack. The Devils get the best and worst from the Harold Brittain Conference in their next two games. They are in Mission tonight at 7:45 p.m. for a contest with the last-place Mission Icebreakers (1-9-1), before a home game Saturday at 6:45 p.m. in the Sungod Arena with the 9-2-0 Abbotsford Pilots.

Highlights: Anoop Nahal with pass receptions for a touchdown and a two-point convert, and Gurjot Bains with a major score on a quarterback keeper accounted for Cloverdale’s scoring.

Junior Bantam Division Cloverdale Cougars 64 Westside Warriors 0

Highlights: Drey Blair paced the Cougars attack with six touchdowns and a convert. Cole Carron, Bishop Francis, Tyler Karoway and Andrew Murchison scoring one touchdown each. Nathan Hutchinson, David Burchart and Kobi Johal all had interceptions to lead the defence. Other

Highlights: Daesaun Johnson scored the lone touchdown for the Longhorns. The defensive line led by Matt Desgroseilliers, Derek Hamilton and Brandon Bolton-Trent played a solid game in the loss.

nities to clinch first place, the Seaquam Seahawks went all-in on their first chance. Needing a win in either one of their two remaining South Conference games, the Senior AA high school football team went for the win on their first possession of overtime, going for a two-point convert that fell short in a 14-13 loss to the Hugh Boyd Trojans Friday in Richmond. The loss leaves Seaquam with a 1-1 record in the South group, a half-game back of the 2-1 Trojans and Holy Cross Crusaders, who both have completed league play. The Seahawks play at home Saturday against the 0-2 Langley Saints, needing a win to move into a three-way tie for first place, with Seaquam holding the tiebreaker on both the Crusaders and Hugh Boyd. The Trojans led 7-0 at half time, and the teams were even

7-7 going into overtime. The Trojans converted a touchdown on their first possession of overtime, with Seaquam getting a major score when they had the ball. Kicking a convert would have forced a second extra period, but the ‘Hawks went for the win, knowing a one-point loss would still leave them with the tiebreaker. Tyler Green and Taylor Northway scored the Seaquam majors, while Martin Minkov was the top tackler on defence with seven. The Seahawks kickoff at 1:30 p.m. against the Saints Saturday at Seaquam Secondary. ■ The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers are in Burnaby tonight for their final game of the Senior AAA East Conference regular season against the St. Thomas More Knights. The 2-2 Panthers have clinched a playoff position, but could climb into third place with a win over a 4-0 Knights squad.

POW award for Greene Second place finish for UBC

by Rick Kupchuk HOLY CROSS high

school graduate Billy Greene has led the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds to their best regular season finish in Canada West football in more than a decade. Greene, who led the Holy Cross Crusaders to the B.C. Senior AAA high school championship in 2007, collected Offensive Player of the Week honours after throwing for 421 yards and four touchdowns in a 36-23 win Saturday over the previously undefeated Calgary Dinos. He completed 23

of 42 pass attempts, and led the Thunderbirds in rushing with 60 yards. UBC finished second in Canada West with a 6-2 record, one game back of the 7-1 Dinos. A candidate for Canada West Most Valuable Player honours, Greene finished the regular season with 2,558 yards passing, completing 171 passes (20 for touchdowns) while rushing for 482 yards and four majors. UBC (6-2) will host a Canada West playoff game for the first time since 1999 on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. against the 5-3 Saskatchewan Huskies.

Giants sweep Valley West Midget team winless in four by Rick Kupchuk AFTER SITTING atop the standings just two weeks

ago, a four-game losing skid has dropped the Valley West Hawks to fifth place in the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League. Valley West lost a pair of games to the defending champion Vancouver Giants last weekend. The Hawks gave up a pair of first period goals Saturday night in Burnaby, and while playing the Giants even the rest of the way, came out on the short end of a 2-0 score. Back in Langley Sunday night, the Hawks were playing catchup again, falling behind 2-0 by the midway point of the second period. Jorden Klimek of Langley got the Hawks to within a goal with a powerplay goal late in the second frame, with an assist from Surrey’s Ram Brar. The Giants clinched the win with an empty net goal with 39 seconds remaining. Valley West has fallen to 6-6 (won-lost) on the season, five points behind the first place Cariboo Cougars. The Hawks play a home-and-home series with the Fraser Valley Bruins this weekend, facing off at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Langley Sportsplex, with the rematch Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack.

Singer scores country award nomination Former hockey player’s album, Breakaway, up for a BCCMA award by Alex Browne

A

Surrey graduate is among nominees for the 2011 B.C. Country Music Association awards. Melissa Rae Barrie’s debut album, Breakaway, has been nominated for album of the year at the awards, scheduled for Nov. 20 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam. It’s been a signal year for Barrie – particularly the summer, when in addition to releasing Breakaway, she also wed her fiance, Dallas Stars right-winger Brandon Segal. Barrie, who attended Elgin Park Secondary, is no stranger to the world of hockey – had it not been for a string of injuries when she was in her teens, she might have been pursuing a career as a professional hockey player today. But after four major concussions, a broken leg and a slipped hip disc by the time she reached first year college hockey, it was clear her future lay elsewhere. Fortunately, she had started writing poetry and songs as an outlet of expression when she was in her early teens, honing skills that show up on nine of the 11 songs on Breakaway. Serendipity has also played a part in her new-found, but blossoming, role as recording and touring artist. She was signed to 604 Records – the label founded by Nickleback’s Chad Kroeger and CEO Jonathan Simkin – after contacting them by email, submitting several demos and auditioning a capella for Simkin, who offered her a contract on the spot. Barrie is not one to shy away from using personal experiences to inspire her lyrics for songs like Unforgivable and Room To Breathe – or let empathy for human frailties inspire songs like Let You Down. But she’s also ready to write escapist pieces to counterbalance the darker side of realism. One such is the upbeat road song Passenger Window, which she penned with co-producer Josh Ramsey of Marianas Trench. She’s also not afraid to cover others’ material when they suit her approach: Lori McKenna’s Adore Her, for example, and Gordie Sampson’s Miss Me For A Minute are both included in Breakaway.

Melissa Rae Barrie’s has been nominated for album of the year at the upcoming B.C. Country Music Association awards.

MonkeyJunk to serve up a helping of ‘swamp rhythm’ Ottawa-based band returns to South Surrey stage by Alex Browne

The blues band MonkeyJunk will perform at the Rhumba Room on Nov. 10.

ONE OF THE White Rock Blues Society’s best-received guest bands is returning for the organization’s 50th show in South Surrey next week. Ottawa-based MonkeyJunk will be serving up what it calls a “generous helping of swamp rhythm and blues, soul boogie and bedroom funk” Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Rhumba Room, Pacific Inn resort (1160 King George Blvd.). Steve Marriner (vocals, harmonica, keyboards, guitar), Tony Diteodoro (lead guitar) and Matt Sobb (drums) have only been working together as a band since the spring of 2008, but they’ve already notched up a Blues Music award for best new artist debut, a Canadian Independent Music award for best blues artist and five Maple Blues awards in 2010, as electric act of the year, entertainer of the year, guitar player of

the year (Diteodoro), plus vocalist of the year and harmonica player of the year (both for Marriner). They also made an impressive third-place showing at the International Blues Challenge. The name derives from a comment made by one of the musicians’ favourite blues artists, Son House (“I’m talkin’ ‘bout the blues. I ain’t talkin’ about Monkey Junk”) which stuck with them and seemed to fit their style, which one reviewer has termed a “hot, sticky, greasy, backwoods folk blues sound.” Even minus a bass player – band members are quick to point out that Hound Dog Taylor didn’t have one either, and Little Walter frequently did without – MonkeyJunk has created a strong reputation for credibility both on disc and in powerhouse, danceable live performances.

Celebrating 40 years Roy Forbes brings on the folk Black Press FORTY YEARS AGO, at the age of 18, Roy Forbes journeyed from Dawson Creek to Vancouver with a dream to make music. Now a Canadian folk icon, Forbes brings his unique, intense guitar playing and high soulful singing to the Surrey Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre on Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. as part of his “forty years a music guy” anniversary concert series.

Forbes, who at one time recorded under the name Bim, will perform as he did in the early years – just him and his Gurian guitar (which will soon hit its own 40-year mark). Expect to hear some favourites, along with a couple of early tunes that were never recorded, and a few he rarely performs live. Woven among these gems will be stories told in typical Forbes fashion. Tickets are $27 and $30, available by calling 604-501-5566 or at tickets.surrey.ca

It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home.

How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing‌ and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy.

She knows Jack (Webster) IF SHE WASN’T receiving an award, she’d be covering the

story herself. Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Kimiya Shokoohi was one of six students awarded The Jack Webster Foundation Student Journalism Award on Oct. 24. “I am so incredibly humbled to be recognized with this very prestigious award,” said Shokoohi, who is in her fourth year in Kwantlen’s Bachelor of Journalism program. “It is an amazing feeling to know that what you’re doing is good enough to be noticed by some of the best in the business. I’m completely grateful.” Next year, Shokoohi hopes those best in the business remember her when she looks to pursue a career in sports journalism – her ultimate goal. She joins 99 B.C. journalism students to have been recognized with the award since 2001. Each student winner received $2,000 towards his or her tuition.

hey’ve saved more than 1,500 pounds of nylon from landfills and in the process, taught hundreds of teens how simple sewing could help the environment. Now a student team from Simon Fraser University is being honored with a Top 3 Green City Award from the City of Surrey for their creative environmental efforts. Their Banner Bags project was chosen in the community group category (one of three categories) at the Surrey 2011 City Awards, held at the new City Centre Library on Oct. 25. The student project was created three years ago by a team from Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE), based at SFU Surrey. Students Lauren Watkin, project manager, Sonam Swarup, director of community development, and Ashish Gurung, project advisor accepted

the award from Mayor Dianne Watts. To date more than 800 banners no longer used by cities or community organizations have been turned into colourful reusable bags, produced by students in high school sewing classes led by the SIFE students. Watkin, a student in SFU’s Beedie School of Business, explains: “Our efforts have made an impact. Over the past three years we have involved more than 1,000 students, saved 1,500 pounds of nylon from entering landfills and saved companies and cities approximately $6,000 in disposal and storage fees.” Students estimated that amount of nylon in landfills could have resulted in more than 30,000 pounds of CO2 emissions.

Winterizing your garden HEAVY rainfalls have taken their toll on many garden annuals and perennials. They will make great compost, but removing them will leave your garden looking rather bare. Winter colour plants, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow with more pastel shades, creates the most pleasing effect. Groupings of hardy Red Bor and Winter Bor kale, winter heather, violas, pansies and bright evergreen foliaged perennials, placed here and there in your garden and close to your walkways, will give a tremendous lift to your winter garden. It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in welldrained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most pleasing effect. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display. Make sure you have at least a few alliums for a great summer show in eight months time. It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now, and they must be kept warm at about 15°C. It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers.

Vegetable gardens

Brian Minter

is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add more sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes.

Bare root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. So all things considered, an evergreen

insects and diseases that overwinter in your trees. We are now entering a brand new season, and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus – one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses. Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.

SHOW YOU CARE

Cut your lawns quite low (one inch) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems. To prevent moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlled-release, high nitrogen fertilizer, something like Scott’s Turfbuilder Wintercare 30-0-9, and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding now would sure make a huge difference.

Trees and shrubs Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together.

hedge is an excellent investment. Many fall flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel, ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants to name just a few. It is critical that you begin organic dormant spraying with Green Earth Lime Sulphur and Dormant Oil in midNovember to control

Some flocks contains thousands of birds. schooling fish, such as herring, that bunch into a tight ball. Birds take it a wing flap further, by twisting into ribbons of alternating light and dark, that give the whole flock a mysterious fluid look. The flight of snow geese, in contrast, is comparatively stately. Skeins composed of two or three hundred birds travel hundreds of miles, the lead bird flying for a short time before sliding back into the group and another taking its place. The V-shaped formation is highly energy-efficient, as demonstrated regularly by cyclists, slip-streaming in each

Allow us to help you achieve both

looping, cloud-like flocks as a defence against predatory falcons. A flock can be composed of thousands of birds, moving as one, in almost perfect synchronicity. Studies since the 1970s, by J. Michael Davis, Wayne Potts and others, show that a rotation by one bird can set off a chain reaction that spreads through the entire flock, causing the group to turn from dark to light (or vice versa) in a flash. The wave of motion quickly speeds up until the flock as a whole is reacting much faster than the birds could as individuals. Potts called this the “chorus line effect.” Flocks typically clump into a tighter group when menaced by a predator, with each individual bird turning inwards towards the average position of the group. Turning outwards, the bird would become isolated and vulnerable to attack. The same type of motion is seen in

Anne Murray other’s wake. Crows are not everyone’s favourite, yet their intelligence and social behaviour are among the most advanced of all birds. From late summer onwards, adults and young gather in communal roosts, typically choosing city buildings where they are safe

from predators. They form groups at staging areas en route, often with much calling and fuss, suddenly taking wing all together, as they join the ritual evening procession. Thousands of birds converge on a few blocks, flying in from great distances in long straggling lines, as the light fades from the sky. The suburbs are forsaken and the crows take over the town.

SURREY Are you looking for safe secure housing? Tired of the possibility that your landlord is going to increase your rent or sell your house? Spruce Housing Co-op has both apartments and townhouses available. We are a community of 101 units with a mixed population of families, singles, and couples. Located near the Surrey/Delta border we are a 5 minute drive to Scott Rd Station and the Patullo bridge and about 10 minutes to the Alex Fraser bridge. There is both an elementary and secondary school within a 2 minute walk. Housing charges range from $570.00 to $1013.00 with a share purchase (similar to a deposit) of $1500.00 for the apartments and $2000.00 for the townhouses. The apartments have a community laundry room and the townhouses have laundry hook up. We have a playground for the kids as well as a community hall and beautiful landscaping that is tended to lovingly by our members. No subsidies available.
