Woods not ready to retireBy Jennifer LangAft er 40 years in the RCMP,

Cloverdale’s top cop isn’t moving on, he’s moving over – to Surrey headquarters.

Staff /Sgt. Dave Woods, District Com-mander for the Port Kells /Cloverdale District Offi ce for the past seven years, says he’ll be work-ing with the chief.

Th at’s Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Fraser MacRae.

Th e job description and title hasn’t exactly been worked out yet. “Th ere’s no offi cial name for it,” he told the Reporter earlier this week. “I’m going to be an assistant to the Offi cer in charge.”

Th e lack of a fancy title doesn’t faze Woods, who’s looking forward to working with MacRae, whom he de-scribes as an energetic, dynamic leader who is “fully engaged” in the job and well-liked by the people serving under him.

Woods and his wife were both consid-ering retiring this year, when MacRae asked him to come work for him.

Aft er fi rst discussing it at home, Woods agreed, signing up for at least a year. “I

thought, You know what? If I can help him out, I’m going to do it.”

A Sept. 30 goodbye luncheon attracted a cross-section of the community, from fellow Rotarians and Chamber members to representatives from Options, the com-

munity services society, and other RCMP members.

“When we found out that Staff was leaving, we had an overwhelming response from the community,” said Cpl. Marina Wilks, who worked with Woods for three years at the District 4 offi ce, which has about 30 employees.

“He is a quintessential District Commander, a quintessential chief of police for Cloverdale,” Supt. Mac-Rae said, calling Woods’ 40 years of RCMP service,

12 of them in Surrey, a “tremendous achievement”.

“He’ll be a tough act to follow,” he said. “I think the crowd here today is proof of the tremendous impact he has had.”

Development on trackBy Kevin DiakiwA long-awaited com-

mercial project for Clo-verdale is fi nally moving forward.

Representatives from Anthem Properties were at Surrey council’s land use meeting Monday seeking approval for a major com-

mercial development for the corner of Highways 10 and 15.

Th e proposal, which re-quires zoning changes and an Offi cial Community Plan amendment, heads to a public hearing Oct. 18, 7 p.m. at city hall.

Anchor tenants are

expected include CIBC, Staples and Rexall Drugs, along with smaller ten-ants Cobs Bread and Kin’s Market.

Carl and Julie Ens, and their chil-dren Alicia, 16, Madison, 14, Levi, 14, and Lauren, 12, planted about 20,000 pumpkin seeds back in the spring. By Halloween, they expect to harvest about 50,000 pumpkins.

Little wonder they’re inviting you to help.

For the second year in a row, they’re operating a U-pick pumpkin patch 2981 190 Street (open from 9 a.m. to dusk), following in the footsteps of their grandfather, Ron Heppell, who ran the operation for many years.

Now that he’s retired, his grandchil-

dren are happy to continue tendingthe patch, even though a lot of work isinvolved, especially in July, when theEns family members spent two hoursa day weeding.

Madison Ens says the secret to pick-ing the perfect pumpkin is to choose anice tall one, because it’s cheaper (thepumpkins are sold by circumference,not weight) but it depends on the faceyou have in mind when you’re carvingyour Jack-o’-Lantern.

Th e massive fall squash isn’t merelydecorative; the Ens family is fondof making pumpkin bread, pump-kin muffi ns, pumpkin soups and ofcourse, roasting pumpkin seeds.

It’s a family tradition

KEEP ON ROLLINGOne of the closest votes at at last

week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention in Whistler came when delegates debated whether to press for mandatory helmet use by skateboard-ers, inline skaters and scooter riders.

But the wheels quickly started to come off the idea when some civic reps questioned whether it might also apply to se-niors or the handicapped in electric scooters or children’s tricycles.

“Th is is going to cost people quite a bit of mon-ey,” Langford Coun. Lillian Szpak said, adding it could deter young people from being outside and active.

Powell River Coun. Debbie Dee de-fended the measure as one that would prevent brain injuries.

A Tofi no councillor suggested the

overwhelmingly non-skateboardingmayors and councillors at UBCMwere unreasonably trying to restrictthe lifestyle of local youth.

Th e motion was defeated 198-190.

REGULATE MMACivic reps voted to ask for tighter

restrictions on boxing, wrestling andsimilar pro matches likemixed-martial arts.

UBCM will ask theprovince to ban suchevents unless they’re reg-ulated by an athletic com-mission.

North Cowichan Coun.Al Siebring said the move shouldn’tstamp out the popular fi ght events, butis merely an attempt to “set standardson this vastly growing sport.”

WORKERS INJUREDFive farm workers were injured

aft er a pick-up slammed into them

Tuesday night. A tractor was haul-ing a wagon trailer with nine farm workers on it near168 Street and 40 Avenue.

Th e driver of a pick-up tried to pass the slower-moving vehicle and hit the trailer, striking the corner of the wagon and injuring fi ve occu-pants.

Th e area was dark and unlit, and although the trailer had its lights fl ashing, they may have been ob-scured by the trailer, police say.

Th e RCMP Traffi c Services and WorkSafeBC are investigating.

Th e driver of the truck is under investigation for impaired driving causing bodily harm.

to the Burnaby detachment, where he was promoted to corporal in 1982. He transfered back to Burnaby in 1990, aft er serving as Staff Sergeant of the Langley detachment.

In 1998, he transfered to Surrey as the NCO in charge of administration, and arrived in Cloverdale in April 2003, maintaining a prominent profi le in the community ever since. Along with serving as a board member of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, Options, Clover Valley Resources and Servants Anonymous, Woods was sure to be spotted at lo-cal events such as the Rodeo Parade, Canada Day, and even the Olympic torch relay.

He received the Police Offi cer of the Year award in 2006, an honour chosen by the community.

He convened regular Community Consultative Meetings at the Hamp-ton Inn which proved popular, re-members Ursula Maxwell-Lewis, founding publisher/editor of the Clo-verdale Reporter.

“By bringing area residents and business leaders together informally, Woods and his offi cers combined in-forming the public, with rallying on-going support for the boys in blue,” she says.

“Typically, Dave searched for posi-tive avenues to increase community safety awareness.”

When he was posted to Cloverdale he enthusiastically embraced the idea of Commander’s Corner, an RCMP Cloverdale Reporter community up-date.

“A regular column can be a grind,” she says, “but Dave knew this to be one of the many eff ective ways to con-nect personally with ‘his’ community.

He cemented many friendships in the process, something that unde-niably played a roll in dealing with homelessness in the downtown core.

“When I fi rst came to Cloverdale, there was no extreme weather shelter,” Woods recalled earlier this week.

“We had guys sleeping on card-board on the street and there was snow on top of them. Our members were spending their own money buy-ing sleeping bags for them.”

Th e RCMP, the BIA, Chamber,

Rotary Club, and Cloverdale Chris-tian Fellowship and the city of Surrey came together to create an extreme cold weather shelter in the Cloverdale Mall.

Showers were installed, along with a washer and dryer, so people in need accessing the soup kitchen were able to clean their clothes and bathe.

But the work of the committee didn’t stop there, securing provincial funding for a needs assessment study that paved the way for a homeless shelter.

Cloverdale Hyland House opened in 2008.

Woods says the role of the district offi ce is to deal with nuisance level and low-level crime and quality of life issues that aff ect people.

A District Commander is expected to be an expert in crime trends within their community, a job that involves consulting with people and groups in the community on a regular ba-sis, fi nding out where their policing priorities lie, and then attempting to work out solutions,

“More than anything else, we’ve re-ally opened up the lines of communi-cation with community groups and with business groups,” he said.

His replacement, Staff /Sgt. Shirley Steele, comes from E Division head-quarters, where she worked on the re-search side of community policing.

As a constable, Steele opened the fi rst community police offi ce in 1991 in Sur-rey in Cloverdale.

“She worked here by herself,” says Woods. “Her job was to liaison with the community. So she’s done it before.”

New provincial legislation aimed at reducing the road car-nage caused by impaired driving is certainly draconian, as it ba-sically means there will be zero tolerance for driving aft er hav-ing as little as one drink.

A local restaurateur told me last week that he believes this law and its enforcement has had a more signifi -cant impact on the hospitality business downturn than the much-vaunted HST, especially here in the suburbs where transit options are not as good as they are for people who party it up in the urban areas of the region.

People are afraid to have even one glass of wine with their din-ner, he reasons, and this is keep-ing people at home.

I reckon he’s probably right on this but on the other hand, does everyone really have to consume alcohol to have a good time?

I’m not a prude or a teetotal-ler by any means, but over the almost 40 years I’ve worked as a journalist I’ve heard and written far too many stories about the heartbreaking tragedies caused by mixing alcohol with motor vehicles. If this legislation suc-ceeds in reducing the numbers of these stories, I will be perfect-

ly alright with it.And aside from

drinking at home, there are other al-ternatives.

You can still en-joy a night out,

socializing with friends and supporting live music acts, without imbibing alcohol. If I’m driving home from a venue I simply order non-alcoholic beer — there are many new tasty brands, they’re cheaper than the alcoholic variety, and no matter how many you consume you won’t be impaired.

An extra side benefi t is you

won’t become an alcoholic or ravage your organs, perhaps even live a longer and happier life.

You’ll certainly have more money left in your pocket.

Naturally I fully expect to one day get pulled over by a skepti-cal police offi cer and told to do stupid human tricks aft er he or she sniff s the barley and hops on my breath, but that’s OK. Th e police are just doing the job we pay them to do, and I will pass any tests with fl ying colours.

If this isn’t con-vincing enough, consider that if some idiot drives into you and you are found to be impaired, you will be charged as partially to blame and your insurance is null and void because you broke the law. Even if your driving

was otherwise perfect and youcouldn’t have avoided the col-lision no matter whether youwere sober or impaired, you arehooped.

Th e scariest part is that if thedriver that hit you is crippledyou could conceivably spend the

rest of your life pay-ing for that person’s care out of your own pocket, because, remember, your in-surance is cancelled retroactively.

Th e way I see it the government is doing us a favour with this new law, a win-win all the way round.

And really, if youcan’t enjoy a night

out without alcohol, perhapsyou should start asking yourselfwhether you have a problem.– Kurt Langmann is editor of our sister

Getting gooed gracefullyThe principal of a local elementary school gets slimed in the name of charity

By Jennifer LangStudents at Zion Luther-

an School dared to cross the slime line on the pave-ment last week, spraying their good-natured principal Jon Mayan with green goo un-til he was unrecognizable.

Th ey each got their turn, one by one, to pour green slime on Mayan, who didn’t complain once.

A barefoot Mayan, wear-ing a bathing cap and swim goggles, and clad in wash-and-wear sweats, sat in a chair out in the school’s parking lot, surrounded by plastic tarps, prepared for students to do their worst.

Th e amount of slime de-pended on how much money each student had raised for a good cause – the 2010 Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley and the Canadian Cancer Society.

Some students got a small cup. Others got a large, bev-erage-sized containers. Th en there were the kids who got pitchers. And each used the opportunity to slime their principal in a diff erent way.

Styles varied.Some students were shy and

tentative, gently transporting the cop from the supply table to their victim, careful not to spill a drop along the way, and then slowly pouring the goo

out over his head, forearms and toes to ensure full body coverage.

Others practically pounced on their victim, dispensing the contents with a quick fl ick of the wrist, sending jets of green slime onto their hapless victim, temporarily blinded by the sheer volume of goo.

Th is isn’t the only crazy stunt principal Mayan has done in championing Cops for Cancer.

Last year, students sent the him to the roof. He agreed to spend one minute on the school’s roof for every $1 stu-dents donated to the Cops for Cancer cause.

He ended up spending at least 13 hours outside on the school’s roof, where he camped out most of the chilly September night.

Th e Slime the Princi-pal event on Sept. 30 raised $1,210.85.

Th e next day members of this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley rode to the school on their way to their fi nal stop later in the day at society’s head offi ce in Langley.

Cops cycle on throughBy Jennifer LangTraffi c along 32 Avenue at 184

Street south of Cloverdale came to a temporary halt last Friday aft ernoon as members of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley whizzed past heading east on their fi nal leg of their journey.

Th e delay lasted only a couple of minutes, with the cyclists zooming along quickly – despite having logged hundreds of kilo-metres this week – stymying ef-forts by onlookers with cameras to capture the moment for pos-terity.

Oct. 1 was the last day of the 2010 tour, which began Sept. 23.

Th e riders, law enforcement of-fi cials and fi rst responders, were raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C. and Yukon chapter. Proceeds go towards re-search for pediatric cancers and help support children with can-cer. Money also goes to programs like Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for kids with cancer.

Aft er stops today in South Sur-rey and Cloverdale, where they visited Zion Lutheran School, the riders were headed for the Cana-dian Cancer Society’s Langley of-fi ce at 3 p.m., ending a 60-km leg on the fi nal day of the tour.

Some legs spanned more than 130 kms per day, for a total of more than 750 kms in a multi-day bike ride from Tsawwassen to Boston Bar and back.

Along the way, the riders stop pedat schools and businesses, spreading the message of can-cer prevention, such as eating a proper diet, staying out of the sun unless using sunscreen, and not smoking.

Th e Tour de Valley started 13years ago. Since then, the tourhas raised approximately $2.1million, according to the Cana-dian Cancer Society.

Th is year’s tour has raised morethan $300,000.

Education Beat

ContributedWhile Gertrude Adams typed up stories as a Surrey

Leader newspaper reporter back in the ‘30s, she couldn’t have imagined a modern day elementary school, let alone that it would be a school named aft er herself and her hus-band.

Th e school, now nearing completion, holds her name-sake: Adams Road Elementary, and is located in northwest Cloverdale on 68 Avenue (previously named Adams Road

for the family’s instrumental ef-forts in improvements to the road and area). Th e new school is expected to be complete and ready for students close to Christmas break.

In the meantime, Adams Road students will be in classrooms at Don Christian Elementary. When it opens, Adams Road Elementary will have a student

population of 235. But the school can accommodate 300 students for this growing neighbourhood of young fami-lies.

Everything about Adams Road Elementary will be clean and contemporary. Th e two-storey building is over 2,500 square metres (27,000 square feet) and designed to LEED Gold standards, incorporating energy-effi cient and “green” elements. Students will be hands-on with the most modern of resources: leading-edge educational tools, physical edu-cation equipment and technological tools.

Outdoors, the students will have access to a variety of recreation, including a fi eld and play areas, grass soccer fi eld and baseball diamond.

Th e staff , under the guidance of principal Joanne Berka, will prioritize development of strong partnerships between home and school, encourage ongoing two-way commu-nication and provide many opportunities for parental in-volvement.

You’ll fi nd the school’s catchment area on a map on the district’s website at www.sd36.bc.ca/fi ndaschool.html. Out-of-catchment requests will be kept on fi le on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis.

Th e future looks bright for Adams Road Elementary.

DISTRICT HOSTS FORUMSTh e Surrey Board of Education is hosting

a series of upcoming public consultation meetings to discuss challenges and choic-es facing the Surrey School District – the largest, fast-est-growing district in the province.

Th e board is looking for feedback on how best to meet the need for accessible neighbourhood schools while maintaining or expanding programs of choice.

Among the topics up for discussion is managing school enrolment capacity in fast-growing neighbourhoods by changing

catchment boundaries or the confi guration of the school day and/or the way educa-tional programs are provided.

Th e board is also looking at embracing community partnerships and expanding ac-

cess to schools as hubs for com-munity services – while managing student safety and security, traffi c density and increased operating costs.

In sharing information with the public, the board hopes to gather

input to consider in order to meet compet-ing demands in a complex, growing school district where there are more high priority requests and expectations than available re-sources, such as funds and physical space.

Th e next consultation meetings will be held Oct. 12 at Elgin Park Secondary, 13484 24 Ave., Oct. 14 at North Surrey Secondary, 15945 Ave., and Oct. 18 at Fleetwood Park Secondary at 7940 156 St.

All forums run from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information, call the school district at 604-596-7733.

NEW YEAR, NEW FACESTh ere’s been a few adminstrative changes

at Cloverdale schools for the 2010/11 school year. Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s new secondary vice principal is Darrell Ferrill.

Th ere’s also a new vice principal at A.J. McLellan Elementary, Cheryl Rutherford.

Surrey Centre Elementary has a new principal at the helm, Barbara White.

And Joanne Berka is principal of Adams Road Elementary, which opened in a por-table at a temporary location at Don Chris-tian Elementary.

Th e new school building is expected to open in December.

Halloween is blessedly uneventful at the Chortyk household.

My canine collection – Bob the Labrador, Calleigh the poodle and Sam the shih tzu – are strangely oblivious to the fireworks that punctuate the night sky, displaying none of the anxious behaviour that some of

my colleagues report about their dogs on All Hallows’ Eve.

One co-worker confined her dog to a separate room last year so that she would be free to answer the door to trick-or-treaters. Spooked by the incessant door-knocking and the odd burst of fireworks outside, the dog chewed the

back of a bedroom door until her teeth and gums were bloody.

A year earlier, the same dog worked herself into a shuddering frenzy inside her crate. There was no damage done to any door, but her c o m p a n i o n took hours to recover from the frightening experience.

For many animals – cats included – Halloween is an e x c e p t i o n a l l y trying time. There are strange people in the neighbourhood and constant traffic at the door, and for several days before and sometimes even after Halloween, fireworks pound the air outside.

This can cause animals to panic, putting both pets and people at risk. But with a little

preparation, Halloween doesn’t have to be scary. Here are a few tips to keep your furry friends safe.

Keep pets inside – Pets who are inside have fewer opportunities to confront

trick-or-treaters. Keep them in a separate room where they can’t hear the doorbell or door-knocking. Turning on a radio or television in the room is a great way to mask any sounds your pet could find distressing. Also, provide plenty

of toys so that their isolation isn’t mistaken for punishment. Think about disabling your doorbell for the night, or, if your trick-or-treaters come in concentrated bursts, wait at the door and greet them before they have a chance to knock.

Identification – Make sure

your pet is wearing identification. Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threatened. Clear, current identification is your best chance to have them returned to you.

It’s not OK to say it’s OK– Avoid consoling your pets

by saying things like, “it’s OK” or “don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This only reinforces the fearful behaviour and makes your pet think you’re scared, too. Instead, speak in an upbeat manner.

Don’t feed treats to your pets – Candy can lead to health problems such as diabetes or obesity, and chocolate is especially dangerous because it contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats. Keep

treats well away from Fluffy and Fido.

Don’t bring your pet trick-or-treating – Halloween can cause pets to behave uncharacteristically. A normally friendly dog could bite if it feels scared or threatened. In addition, dressing your dog in a costume inhibits his ability to communicate, making him prone to display aggression himself or be subjected to aggressive behaviour from other dogs.

Hospitals to be rewarded for speedJeff NagelTh e province is rolling out

$23.5 million to perform more elective surgeries and MRI scans, the fi rst wave of a promised $250 million in pay-for-performance fund-ing.

Health minister Kevin Fal-con said the new money will follow the patient and drive innovation because hospitals and medical teams will be rewarded if they fi nd ways to become more effi cient and get patients in and out faster.

“I reject entirely the voices that say we must simply add more money to the system,” he said, calling status quo health care delivery unsus-tainable.

Fraser Health’s share of the fi rst installment is $7.9 mil-lion and is expected to allow local hospitals to perform an extra 6,800 surgeries and oth-er medical procedures and 4,450 additional MRI scans.

Vancouver Coastal Health Authority will receive $5.7 million for 4,850 surgeries or procedures and 3,150 scans.

Some of the new money could end up going to private clinics to deliver new pro-cedures if that’s how health authorities decide to best de-liver expanded care, Falcon confi rmed.

Th e Vancouver Island health authority has already issued a call for bids from pri-vate clinics to deliver MRIs.

“What I care about is pa-tients getting the service they need as quickly as they can,” Falcon said, adding private delivery is no problem so long as procedures are pub-licly funded and universally available.

NDP health critic Adrian Dix said that’s a concern, particularly as private clinic MRIs are likely to cost the system more money.

He has dubbed the govern-ment’s pay-for-performance strategy a “slush fund” more aimed to manipulate pub-lic opinion of health care funding through a game of surgical yo-yo than actually achieve innovation.

Th e number of MRIs to be

performed in Fraser Health this year will still fall slightly short of the number per-formed in 2009, despite the funding lift .

MRI wait times had reached 18 months at some Lower Mainland hospitals and elec-tive surgery waits had grown because of postponed proce-dures during the Olympics and over the summer.

“What you have is purely a shell game here,” Dix said, predicting long waits will persist.

But Falcon denied it’s sim-ply a shuffl ing of money that could have been kept in the hands of health authorities in the fi rst place.

“It is new money,” he said. “We are not just handing this money over to the health au-thorities and hoping for the best. We are buying specifi c procedures and specifi c out-comes.”

Th e model has raised ques-tions as to whether smaller hospitals could become less viable because they may have diffi culty competing against

larger ones with bigger com-plements of specialists, equip-ment and capabilities.

“Not necessarily,” respond-ed Falcon.

Initially, he said, there won’t be direct competition between hospitals.

“We want to give all health authorities time to get used to the patient-focused funding model.”

But by 2013, up to 20 per cent of acute care health de-livery is to be via patient-fo-cused funding.

Dr. Les Vertesi, the head of the B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization that will control the distribution of funds, argued small hospi-tals may actually be in posi-tion to exploit the new rules and expand their off erings.

Under the old system’s rigid budgets, he said, many hos-pitals were operating “with their brakes on” much of the time, only doing half of what was possible.

“Th ey should be able to take real advantage of this,” he said. “Hospitals like the

Langleys, Maple Ridges, Del-tas and so on have expertise and space available and they can do things really effi ciently because in a smaller environ-ment the cost is smaller and the huge apparatus of people isn’t there.”

Th e new model is expected to encourage the use of ad-vanced day surgery instead of overnight hospital stays.

Back and spine surgery, bladder surgery and hernia repairs are some of the proce-dures expected to get much of the new money.

Lower Mainland pilot proj-ects over the past couple of years are credited with cut-ting waits for spinal surgery and encouraging a shift to a new technique of zapping swollen prostates with lasers rather than using traditional surgery, drastically cutting the length of hospital stays.

Province-wide, a total of $80 million is to go out by the pay-for-performance model this year, rising to $170 mil-lion in 2011.

Meanwhile critics wonder if the new health funding model will make smaller hospitals less viable

CONTRIBUTEDDentist Julian Winston (Andy Wood) moves in for the fi rst kiss with Toni (Krisandra Reid) during rehearsals for Cactus Flower.

It’s complicatedFarce about infi delity opens SLT’s new season

By Jennifer LangTh ings get a tricky for a commit-

ment-phobic dentist in the Surrey Little Th eatre’s season-opener, a fast-paced comedy that proves how some-times the simpler you try to make things, the more complicated they become.

In Cactus Flower, opening next Th ursday, Dr. Julian Winston (Andy Wood) pretends to be married to keep his aff airs from becoming too seri-ous – a tactic that quickly falls apart when he falls in love with his latest girlfriend, Toni Simmons (Krisandra Reid) and wants to propose.

But the girl’s got fi rm standards. She refuses to break up her fi ancé house-hold without fi rst meeting – and talking to – his soon-to-be-ex, director Bri-gitte Seib explains.

He enlists the help of his shy of-fi ce assistant, Stephanie Dickinson (Robyn Bradley), a woman who out-wardly seems as cold-hearted as the prickly cactus she keeps on her desk.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a farce without miscommunications and false assumptions: complications arise when Toni decides the two must fi nd her a new beau so everyone can live happily ever aft er.

It’s a story played for laughs. Play-wright Abe Burrow’s popular farce was also adapted into an award-winning 1969 fi lm starring Walter Matthau, Goldie Hawn and Ingrid Bergman.

Th e SLT production is directed by Brigitte Seib and Paul Cowhig. Rounding out the cast are actors Pat

McDermot, Debbie Cameron, Mike Robida, Ingo Holst, Annette Maitland and Brent Flink.

Other plays in the works for the 2010/11 season include Splinters, an original play written by Elyse Malo-way, a youth member of the SLT, and the musical, You’re a Good Man Char-lie Brown.

Next year’s Fraser Valley Zone fes-tival entry is Murder of Crows. Th e fi -nal production of the season will be a youth production called Unusual Sus-pects, directed by youth alumnus.

“We’re anticipating a very busy year this year,” says Sieb, who’s SLT presi-dent as well as director of the season-opening Cactus Flower, co-produced by Lana Hart and Ellie Parento.

Increasing the lineup to fi ve pro-ductions, including two youth pro-ductions, is part of theatre troupe’s ef-forts at providing more opportunities for youth to get involved.

Surrey Little Th eatre is also running its annual 50-hour fi lm competition, among other plans.

Cactus Flower opens Th ursday, Oct. 14 and runs to Nov. 6. Performances are Th ursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.), and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. (doors open at 1 p.m.) Oct. 15 is a 2-for-1 night. Th ere’s a gala night Saturday, Oct. 16.

Tickets are $15. Reservations by calling 604-576-8451, by email at [email protected] and at the website www.surreylittletheatre.com. Th e SLT is based out of the heri-tage playhouse at 7027 184 Street.
