Cloverdale’s TeenFest packed full of talent Jan. 31st event at Agriplex showcases skills and connects youth to community By Nick Greenizan There will be no shortage of things to do at this weekend’s Coast Capital TeenFest, but the entertainment promises to be a highlight. Running from 11 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Saturday (Jan. 31) at the Cloverdale Agriplex, the one-day TeenFest aims to connect teens and their families to their communities. Included in the festivities are more than 80 booths, an indoor skate park, fashion and beauty displays, and entertainment – highlighted by Shon Burnett, all-girl band Arium and Ria Jade.
Burnett, 12, is a top-six finalist from YTV’s The Next Star 7, and has also made appearances on televised talent shows in Thailand, where he lived when he was 10 years old. Arium, meanwhile, is an allgirl teen band from Surrey that puts a modern twist on a wide range of music, and is sure to be a popular draw. Jade, 17, is a pop/rock singer-songwriter who also hosts her own show, eveRIAthing, on Shaw. She performed at last year’s TeenFest event, and returns to the stage again Saturday for another performance.
For more information on the event, visit www.teenfest.ca
One of the highlight performers at the Coast Capital TeenFest this weekend is 12-year-old Shon Burnett, a top-six finalist from YTV’s The Next Star 7.

Most bridge users pay up From page 1
A Refuse to Issue notice goes to ICBC only if a driver owes more than $25 and is 90 days overdue. “Drivers receive at least three notifications requesting payment before being designated Refuse to Issue,” he said.
Johnson said 80 to 85 per cent of users pay after being notified and most owe relatively small amounts of less than $100. Interest charges of 1.5 per cent a month (19 per cent annually) are added to unpaid Port Mann tolls. TransLink adds two-per-cent interest a
month to unpaid Golden Ears Bridge tolls. While ICBC’s monopoly on mandatory basic insurance makes it an effective stick against B.C. toll evaders, it doesn’t have the same power over out-of-province motorists. But Johnson said TReO still gets “hun-

dreds of payments” through its website or walk-in centres every month from drivers from elsewhere in Canada or the U.S. The electronic tolling cameras capture the licence plates of non-B.C. vehicles and invoices are mailed out. “More than 150,000 invoices have been sent to date and 80 per cent make payment on receiving their bill.” About $3 million in total Port Mann tolls are currently unpaid – twice as much as in the fall of 2013 – and the 25,000 drivers who owe that are mostly unregistered, meaning they are billed by mail, with an extra $2.30 licence plate processing charge added to each $3 toll. TransLink officials were unable to comment on Golden Ears Bridge toll enforcement, but said they are having more success in compelling transit fare evaders to pay their fines since the province provided new powers in 2012. In addition to denial of insurance or licences through ICBC, TransLink can also send unpaid fines to collection agencies.

Were Erddig servants framed? Master of the house immortalized servants with poetry and portraits at his country estate in Wales
Ursula Maxwell-Lewis
Downton Abbey has its fair share of colourful upstairs-downstairs characters, but only Erddig in Wales can claim a Spider-Brusher to the Master. Housemaid Jane Ebbrell, wife of the Erddig coachman, faithfully served estate owner, Philip Yorke I, her entire working life. When Yorke wanted to reward her
with a pensioned retirement, she flatly refused. Presumably Jane felt a pension was a form of charity, something she wouldn’t abide. Yorke solved the dilemma with a feather duster. Jane could flick away any stray spiders she spotted, thereby continuing, in all good conscience, to earn her
keep until she died at the age of 87. But, in a way, Jane is still working. From 1791 to 1793 Philip 1 wrote poetry about his servants, and commissioned John Walters, and other local artists, to incorporate his poetry into their portraits. Ten of the paintings survive, and visitors to Erddig (pro-

saved from a press gang. Those were the guys who forcibly enlisted men into the navy. Thomas cleverly pleaded for a farewell word with his master. Yorke immediately paid off the press gang thereby rescuing his carpenter from, as Steve said, an unwanted life on the ocean waves. Thomas remained a dedicated servant for another 40 years. Joshua Edisbury built the house and formal walled gardens in 1684 before going bankrupt in 1709. The new owner, John Meller, expanded the home, elegantly furnished it, and, having no heirs, bequeathed it to his nephew Simon Yorke in 1733. For the next 240 years the Yorke family, all named either Simon or Philip, lovingly
cared for the property and its family retainers. By the time the last Erddig squire, Philip lll, died in 1978, he had successfully enticed the National Trust to accept and restore the his cherished family home. Despite some initial skepticism at taking on another dynastic property, a tour of Erddig left directors in no doubt that the downstairs alone was a living document of a bygone era. Sculleries, kitchen, equipment, servants quarters, stable yard and more remained almost precisely as the old staff had left it. Not only had Philip saved his house and gardens, he had the pleasure of welcoming guests to it after some National Trust restorations.

I suggest exploring Wales by car, bike, or by joining a hiking tour. Roads are winding, but traffic is generally light. I’m sure you’ll appreciate some leisurely flexibility to savour the castles of North Wales, the wild sweeping coastline and unique landmarks like Erddig. Travel light, though. Staircases in some older properties may be a challenge for some.

Get your motor running By Evan Seal As the days get longer, many motorcycle enthusiasts are beginning to ready their steeds for the upcoming riding season. That’s no different for members of the Greater Vancouver Motorcycle Club (GVMC), based in Port Kells. For club president Ron Benderski, tinkering with his 1200cc six-cylinder 1984 Kawasaki touring bike – one of his five bikes – is a labour of love and a way to keep busy. Pointing to the full instrument panel that looks more like the cockpit of a small plane, Benderski’s enthusiasm for motorcycles shines through as he describes how the bike, in its day, was state-ofthe-art. “It has all the gauges, even a complete stereo with a cassette player,” he says. “It was a limited edition bike too. It had absolutely everything.” Currently he’s using one Kawasaki as a parts bike to rebuild another back to life. “It gives me something to do in my spare time. I just wish I had spare time,” he says laughing. He currently rides a 2007 Honda Goldwing, but it was the Honda 50cc dirt bike that he bought in 1965 that helped kickstart the obsession. “My dad always told me that if you need to borrow money, you can’t afford it, so he wasn’t happy that he found out my uncle had co-signed a loan for

me.” After retiring from the banking industry himself, Benderski and his wife Lillian, who only recently bought her own bike, have been able to fully enjoy the open road. Recently he took on the role of president of the GVMC, a club originally started in the 1920s in Vancouver by longtime Vancouver motorcycle legend and businessman Fred Deeley, who owned a motorcycle dealership in Vancouver. Over the years, the club has participated in numerous rides around North America – all with the goal of promoting motorcycle riding while building
a strong sense of community among its membership. Currently the club has 130 members, with about 40 being actively involved, riding everything from mopeds to full-sized road bikes. Since the early 1990s the club has raised nearly $200,000 for the BC Children’s Hospital and other charities, and annually hosts five major rides that are open to the public, along with on-road and off-road events. The Surrey club will be offering Thursday evening rides for beginners. For more info about the club and it’s activities, go to www. gvmc.ca

Theatre thriller haunted with laughs By Sheila Reynolds With Jan having just gotten out of hospital, she and husband Greg are hoping some time in the country will give them a relaxing, fresh start. They rent a cabin from a farmer named George. He’s friendly, albeit a bit odd, and in addition to making them feel welcome, also likes to share with the couple ghastly tales of ghosts and murder. It’s probably the last thing fragile and jumpy Jan needs. That, and a visit from Greg’s manipulative sister, with whom she does not get along. And then there’s the strange things that begin happening in the spooky farmhouse. The combination makes for a terrifying – and often ridiculous – whodunit that Surrey Little Theatre is bringing to stage in its current production of I’ll Be
Back Before Midnight. The four-person comic thriller, written by Peter Colley and directed by Lower Mainland theatre veteran Rita Price, comes to the local stage Jan. 29 and continues until Feb. 21. Surrey’s Harry Pering takes centre stage as Greg, with Shannon Pedder at his side as wife Jan. Langley’s Joe Tenta is farmer George and Holly Zonneveld rounds out the cast as Laura. The show runs Thursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m., with matinées Feb. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Half-price evenings are scheduled Jan. 29 and 30. The theatre is located at 7027 184 St. in Cloverdale. Tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com, or reserve at reservations@surreylittletheatre.com or by calling 604‐576-8451. Warning: the play may not be suit-

Protecting the Hearts of the Young and the Old By Christine Cheng, R.Ph
More than 1.4 million Canadians have heart disease and approximately 90% of Canadians over CHRISTINE CHENG the age of 20 have at least one risk factor for heart disease which includes smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, being overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and stress. With today’s hectic lifestyle making it difficult for us to find time to take care of ourselves, even the young have to start thinking about what we can do to protect our hearts. It’s not surprising that there are so many supplements on the market that target heart health. Although it is not all-encompassing, PROVASCIN®, a new supplement by Purica is a combination product that aims to improve the function of and protect the heart from multiple angles. This article briefly reviews the purpose of each ingredient and how it may help with preventing heart disease. COENZYME Q10 (Co-Q10) is a vitaminlike compound that is found in just about every cell in the body, and in especially high concentrations in the heart. It has antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties and is key in the production of energy in the cells. Co-Q10 can help with arterial relaxation, which can result in decreased blood pressure. It can also increase “good” HDL-cholesterol while decreasing “bad” LDL-cholesterol
L-CARNITINE is an amino acid that transports fatty acids into mitochondria in the cells thus aiding in energy production. Its supplementation appears to improve symptoms of and exercise tolerance in those with angina and/or congestive heart failure. L-carnitine may affect the uptake of thyroid hormone into cells therefore it could theoretically affect the efficacy of thyroid replacement medications. ALPHA-KETOGLUTARIC ACID is reported to be able to bind ammonia in the blood and thus reduce its potential to damage the heart, blood vessels, brain, kidneys and other tissues. Even though this benefit has only been proven in patients on haemodialysis, it is interesting to note that alpha-ketoglutarate is used during heart surgery to increase the oxidative capacity of the heart muscle as well as post-surgery for preventing muscle breakdown. BETAINE is a derivative of the amino acid glycine and is found in many foods including wheat, shellfish, spinach, and sugar beets. It can lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that can damage arteries and potentially lead to atherosclerosis and blood clot formation. Through a similar mechanism, betaine also has protective benefits for the liver. CHAGA is a medicinal mushroom with powerful antioxidant properties. It also has

adaptogenic properties, i.e., it can help the body adapt to stress, which would help mitigate stress as a risk factor for heart disease. ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID is an antioxidant that can increase insulin sensitivity and decrease fasting blood glucose levels which is important because high blood glucose levels can cause glycation (the bonding of a sugar with a protein) to occur. When this happens in the heart and arteries, it could leave to stiffening of the arteries. NUTRICOL® is a proprietary blend of antioxidants derived from green tea and grapes that can increase insulin sensitivity, thus theoretically decrease blood glucose levels. This blend is also an important part of Purica’s flagship formula, Recovery®, which is highly effective for healing and pain-relief. The basic goal of this product is to try and reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease. It should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. Those with existing cardiovascular disease should check with their doctor prior to initiating any exercise regimen. At a dose of 3 capsules a day, it is an easy way for those in general good health to get the health benefits of multiple nutraceuticals in one product.

A year in jail for pot grower Alarmed yet? with another door locks. There were also security cameras. Four days after the search, Pham abruptly sold the house for $450,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well below its assessed value of $611,000. Pham eventually pleaded guilty to production of marijuana. During sentencing submissions, his lawyer argued Pham, 34, was merely a caretaker of the grow operation and was receiving $5,000 per month from the owner and operator of the grow-op. The Crown argued Pham was the principal operator. In his Jan. 16 reasons for sentence, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jenkins spoke of the impact drug use and distribution has on the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surrey and many other communities in British Columbia have been seriously impacted by the addiction, crime and loss
PET EXPERT
By Sheila Reynolds A man who had a large marijuana grow operation in his Cloverdale home has been sentenced to a year in jail, followed by a year of probation. In March 2012, BC Hydro complained about electricity being stolen from a house on 60 Avenue in Cloverdale. Surrey RCMP officers found 1,206 marijuana plants in the home, which could have produced more than 71 pounds of pot valued at between $128,000 and $157,000. They also found more than 12 pounds of dried marijuana worth more than $21,000. Van Hoach Pham, the owner of the home, was found hiding under insulation in the attic. The house was heavily fortified with reinforced security gate with two deadbolt locks, behind which was a metal door
of personal opportunity resulting from the use of illegal drugs,â&#x20AC;? said Jenkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is evident that Mr. Pham failed to consider the consequences of his activities in the drug culture upon society as a whole.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the year-long jail sentence and probation, Pham is also banned from possessing weapons for 10 years and must forfeit any property seized from the home. He has no prior criminal record. Had the offence occurred after Nov. 6, 2012, Pham would have faced a much longer prison term. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when mandatory minimum two-year jail sentences for large-scale grow operations(more than 500 plants) came into force. There also would have been a mandatory three-year minimum sentence in connection to the fire-hazard implications for the bypass and theft of electricity.

By Sheila Reynolds A 17-year-old is in hospital after he suffered multiple gunshot wounds Sunday night and apparently drove himself to hospital. Surrey RCMP say they received reports of shots fired in the 13000– block of 73 Avenue on Sunday (Jan. 25) at about 10:15 p.m. While officers found several bullet casings at the scene, they were initially unable to locate a victim. About 15 minutes later, police were informed a teen with several gunshot wounds had driven himself to Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH). As of Monday morning, he was listed in serious, but stable condition and had spoken briefly with investi-

A dark van with a smashed out passenger-side window and blood on the driver’s seat was seen being towed from SMH. Surrey RCMP say they’re still trying to piece together exactly what happened and whether there was anyone else in the vehicle at the time of the shooting. No arrests have been made.
