MP Hiebert ‘did nothing’ to help Afghan vet Politician under fire for not taking Ottawa to task for soldier’s piddly compensation Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

In a scene reminiscient of ‘King Kong,’ Surrey residents were shocked to see a monkey climbing up the Central City tower late Thursday afternoon in north Surrey.

❚NORTH SURREY

Monkey escapes, climbs Central City tower SURREY – Now there’s a Tom ZYTARUK sight you don’t see every day! Staff Reporter SkyTrain commuters and shoppers gaped in astonishment late Thursday afternoon as an orangutan that had escaped from its owner outside the North Surrey Recreation Centre scaled the Central City Office tower. “Unreal – just like King Kong,” Burnaby resident Larisa Cheburko said, laughing. “Hope it’ll be OK – it looks kinda cold up there.” The monkey almost made it to the top of the 26-storey tower by the time the Now went

to press late Thursday afternoon. The pet monkey’s owner, a Simon Fraser University student, was bringing “Pokey” as part of her class presentation on cognitive behavioral therapy. Clearly upset, she declined to give her name, nor would she comment as a crowd grew around her. Surrey firefighters and SPCA workers were still trying to get the orangutan down safely at press time.

SURREY – Jim Scott has a bone to pick with Conservative MP Russ Hiebert. Scott’s 24-year-old son, Dan, is a reservist with the Vancouver-based 15th Field Artillery who has served two tours in Afghanistan. During his last tour, Dan was seriously wounded in a training accident in Kandahar. In fact, he almost died. Dan survived, but has been left with significant injuries that limit his ability to find employment. He lost his spleen, his left kidney and part of his pancreas. He also suffered a broken rib and a collapsed lung. “They were training with claymore mines, but those are American weapons and nobody knew how to use them,” the elder Scott said. The claymore is a commanddetonated anti-personnel mine used to protect defensive positions. They consist of convex boxes filled with explosive and hundreds of eighthinch ball bearings. When an enemy approaches, the mine can be fired remotely, sending a lethal spray of the small missiles out in an arc. “Dan’s platoon were lined up and their C.O. had the mines put out in front of them, but they were pointing the wrong way,” Jim Scott said. When the first mine was fired, Dan realized the danger and began

moving to cover. He stopped to warn another soldier and that’s when the second mine exploded, spraying the unsuspecting troops with shrapnel. “The one fellow next to Dan was killed. Dan was very badly hurt, but lucky at the same time,” Scott said. “The kid who set it up, he had no training. He’s devastated about it. He set it up wrong and he blew all of his buddies up.” Dan is entitled to compensation for his wounds, but new rules approved in 2006 mean he’s only allowed $41,411.96, an amount Jim Scott said is less than the damage awards given to people with similar injuries sustained in auto accidents. Scott said that’s not nearly enough for what his son suffered, so he asked his MP – Russ Hiebert (White RockSouth Surrey-Cloverdale) – to help Dan. Scott is a long way from satisfied with Hiebert’s efforts. Dan made his case for a better compensation package in a letter addressed to the minister. Scott took his son’s the letter to Hiebert and asked him to present it in Ottawa. “He took it. He moved it, but in the end, he didn’t advocate for it,” Scott said. “It’s very disappointing.” Hiebert denies doing nothing but deliver the letter to the minister.

Hiebert defends advocacy for soldier

Police say theft was motive behind shooting

 continued from page 1 “In addition to delivering the Scotts’ letter, I wrote my own letter and spoke directly with the Minister of Veterans’ Affairs several times on their behalf,” Hiebert said. “I also lobbied in our national caucus for improvements in compensation for our veterans.” Hiebert then listed a number of increases to veteran benefits, none of which apply in Dan Scott’s case because of his status as a reservist. Dan remains on strength with his

regiment until his discharge at which time he will go back to the standard reserve pay of a half-day’s pay per week. Hiebert said Dan is due to be discharged in the spring and the full amount of his compensation won’t be known until then. He could not say if it will be greater then. “We’ll just have to wait and see,” Hiebert said. Liberal candidate Hardy Staub also had sharp criticism of Hiebert’s efforts on the Scotts’ behalf. “What he did, I could have done with a 54-cent stamp. He’s just a

delivery boy. He did nothing to help this young man,” Staub said. “You are elected to represent the community, so you go and you fight for them.” Hiebert questioned whether Staub was aware of all of the facts in this case. “Was he aware of the meetings I had with the minister? Was he aware of the advocacy I did in our national caucus to improve veterans’ benefits? I will continue to advocate for the Scott family.” tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

Witness: accused murderer said ‘I could kill you with a smile’ Tom ZYTARUK Staff Reporter

NEW WESTMINSTER – A key witness for the Crown in the ongoing Vic Fraser murder trial told Saskatchewan homicide investigators in 1999 that the accused, Gary Johnston, was a “crazy” man who had often talked about killing people. The witness, Richard Smith, had a long history with Johnston that culminated in the pair doing federal time for the killing of a Regina caretaker in November 1998. In that case, police had asked Smith to wear a wire and talk with Johnston. Smith declined. “I don’t want to go near that sonof-a-bitch,” he told the officers. “Give me a bazooka and a bulletproof vest maybe. No f---ing way.” Johnston, 53, is being tried for second-degree murder in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster for the March 10, 1998 killing of New Westminster crane operator Vic Fraser in Bridgeview. Fraser, 43, was stabbed nine times in the neck after he apparently interrupted a burglary at his sister Jeanie’s bungalow. Eight months after Fraser was killed, Johnston had stabbed caretaker Wayne Griffith to death in Regina. Griffith had testified against Johnston at a preliminary hearing in a burglary and assault case in 1991. Johnston was charged with seconddegree murder in the Griffith case but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served seven years of a 10-year sentence. Smith, a long-time friend of Johnston’s, was sentenced to five years in prison in the Griffith case. Johnston had stabbed the caretaker in the neck multiple times at Smith’s house and then he and Smith wrapped the body up in plastic, loaded it into a hatchback and dumped it in a field outside Regina. Griffith’s body was found six months later. Earlier this week, Smith testified that on the day Griffith was killed Johnston told him “I think I f---ed up...I’ve used the same M.O. as I did

SURREY – Theft appears to have been the motive behind the shooting of a 13-year-old girl in Fleetwood last Friday. Alexander Huynh shot himself in the head after shooting 13-year-old Anna Nguyen in the back inside her house in Fleetwood last week. That’s the word from Owen Court, director of operations for the B.C. Coroners Service. But Huynh’s relationship to the girl’s family is still “not entirely clear,” Court added. Both Huynh, 36, and the girl were airlifted to hospital. Huynh died but Nguyen is recovering in hospital. The shooting happened in the 9000-block of 158th Street last Friday morning. The Surrey RCMP major crime section is still investigating the matter, along with the Surrey fire department. It was not known at press time if Huynh set the fire that gutted the house after the shooting. “It hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said. “How the fire started, we don’t know. It looks like a theft attempt.” Police at press time were still trying to figure out exactly what Huynh was after. “It’s not a drug-related matter,” Grainger added.

Man, 32, arrested after Newton standoff SURREY – Inderjit Grewal, 32, of Surrey has been charged with possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats following a five-hour standoff with police in Newton on Monday afternoon. Mounties armed with machine guns surrounded a townhouse in the 12100-block of 66th Avenue Monday afternoon while negotiators tried to talk the man out. He eventually surrendered without incident. Insp. Dave Attfield of the Surrey RCMP said the man barricaded himself in the townhouse at about 12:30 p.m. after allegedly chasing a woman out of the residence with a machete. Police found the 20-year-old woman safe and sound in a nearby alley. Apparently their argument concerned money. The Emergency Response Team was called to the scene, as well as the RCMP’s armoured car. As the afternoon wore on Mounties pushed their yellow tape barricades further and further back along neighbouring streets. Police found a machete but no guns. Sgt. Peter Thiessen, the RCMP’s senior media relations officer for the Lower Mainland District, also works as a police negotiator and played a role in talking the man out. He wouldn’t reveal details about their conversation.

when I killed a guy in B.C.” Smith said Johnston talked about Fraser’s murder several times after, and thought it would be funny if his crack addict younger brother Mike Johnston got pinned for it because he’d used his bike to get to Jeanie Fraser’s house. Smith also claimed Johnston once told him, with a sad face, “It’s a shame that guy had to die. He wasn’t supposed to be there. He was a nice guy.”

police in Saskatchewan, in relation to Griffith’s killing. Lawrence asked Justice Robert Crawford to compare Smith’s demeanor during his testimony in the case at bar with the Saskatchewan interview. During his 1999 interview, Smith denied having anything to do with Griffith’s killing and told police the only time he saw the caretaker’s face was in a Crime Stoppers flyer. He told them Johnston had said something about his brother trying to stick something on him in B.C. “I didn’t want to get involved,” he said. Smith told police in Saskatchewan that Johnston was spooky, intense, vindictive and explosive, and talked about having killed people. He said Johnston had talked about killing his ex-wife, his kids and “everybody,” and once asked him “What would you do if I shot you right now?” “He told me, ‘Y’know, Rick, I could kill you with a smile.’” The trial continues. – with files from Province

Johnston was arrested in September 2009 – more than 11 years after Fraser was slain – after allegedly telling undercover police who were posing as gangsters that he killed Fraser. During Smith’s cross-examination Wednesday, defence lawyer Darcy Lawrence played a two-hour 1999 police interview between Smith and

Delta Police are warning residents about a telephone scam where the caller offers you a vacation trip to places like Cancun, Disneyland and Daytona Beach. Of course, whoever answers the call is the “winner” all they have to do is pay a registration fee of $194. Don’t you believe it. Sgt. Sharlene Brooks says the caller then transfers the intended victim to a “closer” who applies immense pressure on the target to get them to cough up their visa number and security code. She said a North Delta resident was contacted, but didn’t fall for the scam and called police. “There was so much pressure during the phone call,” Brooks said.

‘Unstable’ chemicals found in gutted home SURREY – Surrey Mounties want to speak with a tenant who lived in the basement suite of a Fleetwood house that erupted into flames just after midnight Tuesday morning. Police say “unstable” household chemicals were found outside the house, at 8727 Milton Drive. Explosions were heard coming from the house before flames gutted it. Four people were home at the time but everyone escaped uninjured. A Surrey RCMP spokesman said arson is not suspected. They were still trying to locate the basement suite tenant at press time. “There’s no criminal charges expected in this matter,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said. – Tom Zytaruk

tions for the KFA, was unavailable for comment at Now press time. According to KFA’s website, the employer has rejected the union’s proposal on academic freedom because the employer feels that the university’s policy is sufficient protection for faculty. “The union strongly disagrees and will continue pursuing this important right,” the website states. As well as dealing with the union representing instructors, Gray said the university is also in simultaneous contract negotiations with members of the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union, which largely represents Kwantlen’s administrative staff. Gray noted the provincial government’s public sector bargaining mandate calls for “no net increases in total compensation costs,” which means that if employees receives any wage hikes, cuts will have to be made in other areas to offset those increases, as there is no injection of new cash for these new sets of contracts. According to the Ministry of Advanced Education, this year, the province is spending over $1.8 billion in operating funding for post-secondary institutions, same as last year. mbabic@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY – Kwantlen Marisa BABIC Staff Reporter Polytechnic University and its faculty are poised to resume contract negotiations midmonth. The university and the Kwantlen Faculty Association, which represents 750 members at four campuses in the region including two in Surrey, started to lay the groundwork for negotiations about a year ago. Both sides brought a lengthy list of proposals to the table and some proposals have been agreed to and others dropped. Kwantlen Faculty Association’s contract with the university expired March 31, 2010. Harry Gray, spokesman for the university’s bargaining committee, said Thursday he wasn’t able to disclose details about the negotiations but believes that the two sides are making progress. “I think that talks are going extremely well,” said Gray, noting that several other post-secondary institutions in British Columbia have reached a new collective agreement. Wages, working conditions and workload are among the key issues at the bargaining table. Bob Davis, vice-president of negotia-

JASBIR SANDHU/ “(Cadman) told him she didn’t want to poke her party in the eye. Apparently, she’d rather poke the people of Surrey North in the eye instead.”

SURREY – The HST cost former premier Gordon Campbell his job and now, it’s got Conservative MP Dona Cadman in hot water again. On December 8, 2009, Parliament passed a bill allowing B.C. and Ontario to establish a harmonized sales tax. While the tax was received in Ontario with little fuss, it became the bete noire of B.C. politics and drove Campbell from office. One day before the fateful 2009 vote, Cadman told the Now 85 per cent of her constituents in Surrey North were against the tax and said she would vote against her government and oppose the HST. “I vote for the people or with the people,” Cadman said then. However, things didn’t work out that way. When the HST vote was called, Cadman’s seat on the government backbench was empty. The member from Surrey North was a no-show. Afterward, Cadman was reluctant to explain her change of heart, but finally told the Now it

was out of respect for her party. “I am a team player. I want to be respectful to them, too. They’re doing a good job, I just disagree with them on this,” she said. The incident was recalled this week when a reporter for a national daily asked Cadman why she missed that important vote. Jasbir Sandhu is the NDP candidate in Surrey North. He said Cadman’s reply to the question speaks volumes about her priorities. “She told him she didn’t want to poke her party in the eye. Apparently, she’d rather poke the people of Surrey North in the eye instead,” Sandhu said. “She’s afraid to stand up to Stephen Harper. I ask the people of Surrey North, do you want somebody who is muzzled to represent you?’ It’s been more than a year since Cadman absented herself from the HST vote, but Sandhu said the issue is still relevant since public sentiment in B.C. against the tax is still high and a referendum to decide its future is pending. Cadman did not respond to requests for comment.

❚COLUMN

MyView

Many Canadians are complaining that they have to endure another election – the fourth in seven years. One would think recent events in the Middle East and Harvinder North Africa would SANDHU make us feel grateful that we have this opportunity to express ourselves without going through the killing, maiming or jailing of the citizenry. We get to express our feelings through voting, a right we do not have to fight for. Now that we have an election coming up, we need to focus on which party is good for the country. Unfortunately, the decision will be influenced by the advertisements splashed on our TV screens. That is unfortunate as the commercials are not based on facts – in fact, they are deliberately misleading. The commercials have also adopted an agenda of fear. They are designed to make the uninformed scared enough to vote for the wrong party. I say this as I listen to my 13-year-old tell me Micheal Ignatieff lives in the U.S. He informs me how Ignatieff is actually an American and that he doesn’t like Canada. He was also wondering why and how can Canada let Iggy run for office here, if we, Canadians, can’t run for the presidency of the U.S.? He had watched the ads on TV and believed every word. My kid can be forgiven for blatantly believing everything on

TV, but I have heard the same sentiments from many adults. There are people who believe all those false ads. Why? Because they haven’t bothered to inform themselves of the facts and that is sad. Rhetoric from “Stephen Harper’s Government” wants Canadians to believe the worst about the three opposition parties and their leaders. And to achieve this goal, Harper’s government has liberally lied to get its agenda across to millions of duped Canadians. “Duped?” you ask. Yes. We are all to be blamed if we don’t participate fully in this election. I’m not saying you have to go out there and volunteer. I’m saying everyone should take more than a passing interest in which party is going to run this country for the next few years. We need to read up on issues in newspapers and research the candidates on the internet. Inform yourself, check out the players, learn about their policies and then, go out and vote. I want all Canadians to take this amazing power they have and use it. Use it on voting day, go out and cast your ballot. Fewer than 60 per cent of the eligible electorate voted in the last election. That is a shame. We have rights that we are too lazy or complacent to exercise while on the other side of the world people are willing to die to have these same rights.

If they cut taxes, they will cut services, guaranteed. Warning: more election stuff follows. ❚ Talk about your deja vu all over again. Green Party leader Elizabeth May has once again been excluded from the federal leaders’ TV debate by the consortium of broadcasters putting the thing on. Didn’t those guys learn anything the last time they tried this? Look, fellas, it’s like this. Without May to liven things up a little, you got nothing here but some bad television. Pull your heads out, and take a look around. Yeah, the Greens haven’t elected anyone, but they’re close. You think they’re irrelevant to an election in this country? Ask the NDP and the Liberals. Both parties have lost votes to May’s bunch and I’d guess they take her and the Greens quite seriously. ❚ It seems the Tory pork bar-

rel is rolling along quite nicely in Atlantic Canada as Prime Minister Stephen Harper goes in search of a majority. A lot of federal appointments Down East are going to Conservatives, putting the lie to that party’s finger wagging about Liberal patronage. It’s reminiscent of Reform leader Preston Manning’s vow to shun the Ottawa mansion set aside for the leader of the official opposition. No way was he going to have anything to do with that place, not, that is, until he became the leader of said oppo and could actually move in. Then, before you could say “government waste,” ol’ Preston was measuring the windows for drapes. I guess the moral here is nothing will change as long as we are willing to take it.

Concrete ties viable option

Staub would toe party line

‘New government?’ Where?

The Editor, Re: “All railed up,” the Now, March 22. The recent discussion and reaction by writers to your paper regarding the use of creosote railway ties along the BNSF right-ofway in White Rock, prompted me to chip in my two bits worth. Why can’t the railway use concrete ties instead? Concrete railway ties are used mainly in the waterfront areas in the Port of Vancouver. They are there forever, with little or no maintenance, clean, not odorous, and keep many more trees in the forest and the oil in the ground; something our green revolution is striving for. One caveat, however: do not fasten them to the tie-plates with the old high-tensile spring clips, as they, under extreme pressure and during cold weather, may snap and send the metal shards flying like shrapnel. The improved technology requires a bolt-down system, which is much safer. Burlington Northern should be aware and should be willing to implement this system along the corridor through the White Rock-Ocean Park-Crescent Beach right-of-way, where our citizens stroll. Perhaps local councils could discuss this with them.

The Editor, Re: “Staub takes stab at politics again,” the Now, March 25. Hardy Staub told the Now that he’s tired of “partisan politics.” However, he is converting from being a member of the Conservative Party to becoming a member of the Liberal Party. How do you cease being “partisan” by moving from one party to another? It is a known fact that if he is elected, he would be relegated to the back bench and be compelled to toe the party line.

The Editor, How is it that the City of Surrey is so concerned about abandoned material being an eyesore that they spend money on a half-page ad but then they allow the parks department to drop two ugly freight containers in the middle of Cloverdale Athletic Park for the use of various sports teams? The very least they could do is try to disguise the containers in some manner – as in the “wraps” that are put on electrical boxes.

The Editor, I am miffed by the statement “We have a new government.” I am responding to the wild idea that people in B.C. have – that with a new premier, we have a “new government.” Where? When? I have a modicum of political savvy, and memory tells me that Gordon Campbell is no longer premier in B.C. and Christy Clarke has replaced him. Every other member is exactly the same, albeit some have a new title. I also remember the time when the new premier was minister of education. The tension between her and the BCTF was an acrimonious event. She closed 120 schools in B.C., which was her solution to the financial difficulties of our education system. I do wonder what has miraculously changed her beliefs after she quit provincial politics in 2004 and lost the nomination in the NPA Mayoral race in Vancouver, 2005. Premier Clark also said that there is no need for a public inquiry regarding the Basi-Virk controversy. The misconception that this is a “new government” is perhaps wishful thinking and people are grasping at straws. Politics makes strange bedfellows

The Editor, Re: “Teachers won’t have much luck with wage demands,” the Now, March 29. Columnist Keith Baldry makes the point that “no profession is getting anywhere close to doubledigit wage increases,” which is not true. B.C. nurses settled last year for nine per cent and they were already the highest-paid nurses in Canada. B.C. teachers are among the lowest-paid teachers in Canada, nearly 20 per cent behind teachers in Alberta. I didn’t hear that my union was asking for a double-digit wage increase at our AGM last week in Victoria, but that’s what we would need to keep pace with other teachers in Canada. Baldry also makes the point that there is a nursing shortage and a teacher oversupply, which is also not true. There were just recently 800 nurses laid off in B.C. according to a press release by the BC Nurses’ Union. The only reason there is an “oversupply” of teachers in B.C. is because the government continues to increase class sizes. Our province’s new Premier Christy Clark’s new government needs to address this issue or face the consequences.

What’s On

Eleanora Duse (Lori Tych) and her leading man Flavio Ando (Ryan Johnston) will be on stage at the Coast Capital Playhouse on April 6 for the period farce The Ladies of the Camellias.

Dueling divas make for funny play invited to perform The Lady of the Camellias at Bernhardt’s theatre in Paris. To make things interesting, Bernhardt is set to star in the same play later in the week. The play really becomes interesting when Ivan, a Russian anarchist played by Stephen Benjamin Fowler, takes the women hostage and demands the release of his comrades from prison. Ivan has the audacity to criticize how the women are playing their roles and reveals his character as representing the new fad of a director. While Kloegman, an award-winning actor and director, knew of the play, he had not considered directing it until producer Gordon Mantle approached him. “The direction has to be very organic, it has to all be one unit. That’s one of Paul’s real strengths, through rudeness and sarcasm, is pulling everybody into a cohesive unit and that was

what was absolutely needed,” said Mantle. Kloegman, who also directed Humble Boy and Twentieth Century, knew that to produce a great play he needed actors and actresses he was familiar with – he has worked with most of the cast on other productions. “The play has got a certain style to it and I was looking for actors who could portray that style of elegance in that period,” he said. The highlight of the play, according to Kloegman, is the “overall spectacle of a theatre with overwrought actors and actresses,” not to mention Cyrano de Bergerac, played by Brent Cross, swinging in on a rope. The Ladies of the Camellias runs form April 6 to 23, Wednesday to Saturday at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock. Curtain is at 8 p.m. with a 2:30 matinee on Sunday, April 17.

On April 6, the stage of Matt LAW the Coast Capital Playhouse Now Contributor will be transformed into the elegant set of the period farce The Ladies of the Camellias. Written in 1988 by American playwright Lillian Garrett-Groag, the script is a fictitious meeting between two real-life stage actresses – Italian diva Eleonora Duse played by Lori Tych, and French diva Sarah Bernhardt played by Nancy Ebert. The play is set in 1897 at the Theatre de la Renaissance in Paris. The two divas, who hated each other, are both to play Marguerite Gautier in Alexander Dumas’ tragic play The Lady of the Camellias. “This is a ‘what if happened’ because they were both such great personalities. There’s some explosive stuff that happens,” said director Paul Kloegman. In Garrett-Groag’s script, Duse has been

CRAWFORD

I hated Groundhog Day when it was released 18 years ago. Excising the jokes and shifting the locale to a doomed commuter train isn’t enough to change my mind, though Jake Gyllenhaal is much easier on the eyes than Bill Murray. Our man Jake wakes up on a Chicago-bound commuter train with no memory of where or who he is. He thinks he’s Capt. Colter Stevens, but the reflection in the train’s bathroom mirror tells him otherwise. So does the lovely woman across from him, Christina (Michelle Monaghan), who insists on calling him Sean. As Colter/Sean and the audience ponder this, the train blows up. Our mystery man is now in a dark, dank capsule, and the last thing he remembers before the train is his mission in Iraq. A fellow soldier named Goodwin (Vera Farmiga), transmitting via video monitor, reluctantly doles out facts: he’s part of a military project called Source Code, wherein he is beamed back onboard the train that blew up earlier that morning, into the body of a man who died in it. He has eight minutes to locate the bomb and the bomber. It’s a race against time, because they have intel that the train bomb is only an hors d’oeuvre for the all-youcan-eat chaos to come. Filmmakers gloss over the specifics of this loophole in the time-space continuum with a half-hearted line or two about parabolic calculus and “time reassignment,” followed by one character’s assertion that it would take too long to explain. That’s our

WIN

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan star in ‘Source Code,’ a movie that is light on scientific sense and heavy on slow-motion explosions. cue to surrender to the scientific silliness of it all and watch stuff blow up, rather than make sense of anything. And so our hero is lobbed across consciousness, space and time, back onto the train, where he takes more beatings than he ever got in Iraq. Each time that he meets up with Christina, he’s more determined to save her; each time he’s back at base, he badgers Goodwin and her strangely malevolent superior officer (Jeffrey Wright) about how he got there. Never mind that, just hurry up and find the bomber: “Out here, time only moves one way,” the boss says impatiently. However, unearthing the truth about himself starts to super-

cede the search for the terrorist. There’s not much more to say about the film without taking away its primary pleasure – the piecing together of what the hell is going on – though we do figure it out well before Colter does. Gyllenhaal, fighting for his life every eight minutes or so, holds it all together, the perfect Hitchcockian protagonist. Attention-deficit action viewers will be pleased: you don’t have to wait more than eight minutes for another big explosion, shot from various angles, sometimes in delicious, fiery slow motion. Effects, editing and set design are right on track. It’s tense, yes. But is that enough?

❚ WHAT’S ON ❚THE ARTS

Whole lot of tapping going on around town ArtsScene

Gee, I feel a bit uncomfortable telling you all about stuff that is going on in our community with an April 1 publication date. Let me assure you, none of the following bits are part of an April Fool’s Melanie joke. It’s serious stuff. MINTY Yeah, yeah, I know – no sense of humour at all. The West Coast Tap Dance Collective hosts a Spring Tap jam on Sunday, April 10 at 7 p.m. at the Kerrisdale Legion, 2177 W. 42nd, Vancouver. Not many tappers from this side of the river attend these jams. Take a chance and go. The incredible Danny Nielsen will be in charge, and if you want to take advantage of this opportunity, you can learn how to improvise and “think on your feet.” Live music by Bill Costin Trio. Admission is $10, and this is an adults only venue. Tell your friends, take a carload, and enjoy the outing. The collective’s biggest project all year is the celebration of International Tap Day. Each year (this is the ninth) legendary tap dance performers are honoured. This year’s honourees are Canada’s own Blanche Lund and her late husband Alan Lund, two of the country’s foremost performing artists. Blanche and Alan’s acclaimed careers brought them to the international stage and television audiences and led to honours, including a command performance before the royal family and appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1982 Alan became a distinguished Officer of the Order of Canada for his contributions as a dancer, choreographer and director of musical theatre in Canada. Great resumé. This year’s show is titled Tap Tonight and you can catch it for one night only at the Stanley Theatre, Vancouver, on Friday April 22, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Vancouvertix.com, or call 604-629-8849. Guest artists include Jeff Hyslop (Phantom of the Opera), Danny Nielsen (Madd Rhythms), Everett Smith (Top 20 So You Think You Can Dance Canada) Joel Hanna (Riverdance) Keri Minty, Dayna Syndrowski, Jessie Sawyers, Troy McLaughlin, MaryLou Brien, Teryl Rothery, Lindsay Sterk, Jim Hibbard

(Entertainment Walk of Fame) and Shelley Stewart Hunt. Hyslop and Stewart Hunt will entertain and delight as hosts of the evening’s festivities. Attendees will have an opportunity to walk away with a pair of Special Edition Maple Leaf ProTap shoes from So Danca signed by Everett Smith! Local amateur groups are also part of the package. I can’t really understand it, but no one invited me to be a guest performer. I don’t get it. Royal City Musical Theatre uses tap dancers in its productions. Long time RCMT choreographer Valerie Easton (she also does choreography for Arts Club and really knows the art of tap dance) is stepping up this year to act as both choreographer and director. The production this year is The Will Rogers Follies and runs April 7 to 24 at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. This show has a great cast and yes, indeed, has people in it that I have performed with – and have even taken the same tap dance classes. Maybe some of their talent rubbed off. And maybe not. No matter, it’s great to see friends and familiar faces on stage. Phone the Massey ticket centre at 604-521-5050, RCMT at 604-522-4306 or go to www.royalcitymusicaltheatre.com. Produced by Chad Matchette, and musical director is James Bryson, with costumes by Chris Sinosich. Again, no April Fool’s joke, this show is another must see. And be seen. Since you are going to be in New West anyway, you might want to go see Amadeus at the Berne Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park. Amadeus represents the Vagabond Players 74th season and 332nd production. Wow. That’s a lot of years of community theatre. There is already a lot of buzz regarding this production, and although lengthy (difficult to capsulate Mozart in less than three hours) I think this has to go on the must-see list as well. Runs to April 23, reservation line is 604-521-0412 or book online at www.vagabondplayers. ca. Warning – there is no tap dancing in this production, but one of my tap dance classmates is doing the makeup, has created some beautiful masks and added a few other artistic touches to the show. More shows coming to you in April, so keep posted. April is no joke, after all. melminty@telus.net

WAT E R M A I N F L U S H I N G As part of the City’s maintenance program, the flushing of the watermains in the areas located between 140th Street & 168th Street & 80th Avenue to 116th Avenue will occur from March 4 to April 30, 2011. Flushing of watermains is required to remove sediments and to maintain water quality. This may result in your water supply appearing cloudy due to the sediments. Since some staining of laundry may result and some industrial processes may be affected, we recommend the following. • Run your cold water tap until the water clears up • Check the water supply prior to doing laundry

❚WHAT’S ON ❚NEW ON DVD

‘Get Low’ explores self-imposed exile Get Low Directed by Aaron Schneider. Starring Robert Duvall, Lucas Black, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray. My rating: 8 (out of 10) Death comes to us all, but not quickly enough for Frank Quinn (Bill Murray), whose southern funeral home can’t seem to turn a profit. Then one day Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) hitches his mule to a wagon and rolls into town, after having lived 40 years alone in the woods: Felix wants a funeral, but he ain’t dead yet. A cash-strapped Frank and his assistant Buddy (Lucas Black) choose to overlook this minor detail and set about measuring Felix for a suit and inviting everyone in the county. Anyone with a story to tell about the as-yet undeceased is welcome. Turns out that it’s Felix who has a story to tell and that’s the reason for the funeral party. In telling it, he comes clean to wary townsfolk and a long-ago love, Mittie (Sissy Spacek). The mystery of Felix’s self-imposed banishment unspools amidst much humour and sadness. This American folk tale is a subtly acted gem, and lovely to look at thanks to first-time director Aaron Schneider, also an Oscar-winning cinematographer.

Buried Directed by Rodrigo Cortes. Starring Ryan Reynolds. My rating: 6 (out of 10) I thought something was wrong with my disc. Having got fed up and fast-forwarded through the opening credits (there oughta be a law), I encountered a black screen. I started it again and got the same thing. After juggling three remotes I finally realized that there were vague respiratory noises in the pitch darkness… So opened Buried, the film starring Ryan Reynolds, and only Ryan Reynolds. The film is a tour de force, if only because it features a man trapped in a wooden coffin for 95 minutes: no flashbacks, no oxygen-deprived hallucinations to resuscitate audience interest. And overall it succeeds thanks to the claustrophobic, urgent pacing crafted by director Rodrigo Cortes. The DVD’s “Unearthing Buried” chronicles the shoot, kept to a trim 17 days because of Reynolds’ schedule and fear for his mental well-being working in such a confined space. Among the other features on the disc are a bookmark-your-fave-scene option, trailers, and more. – Julie Crawford

Michael BOOTH Staff Reporter

SURREY – If variety is the spice of life, then Ruby Sidhu and Gouldi Dhillon have access to their own private spice rack. The two Surrey men are the brains behind Punjabi Sports, a television show produced in Newton and viewed across Canada and around the world. Sportsnet and TSN offer the latest news on the big sports in North America, but if you want to see footage of kabaddi from India or the minor soccer tournament from down the street, Punjabi Sports provides that and more. “When we started this the idea was we wanted to do something different,” Sidhu said. “There were a lot of other shows (on multicultural television)) where people showed songs and other stuff but we wanted to do something different. It’s a lot of work for us but there was nothing to do with sports — and not just Indian sports, all sports. People liked it right away and we got a lot of phone calls.” And the phone is still ringing. The show started three years ago and was shown in the Lower Mainland on Joy TV. One year later, Sidhu and Dhillon moved Punjabi Sports down the dial to Omni TV where it is now carried across Canada, airing every Sunday at 6 and 10 p.m. “This show is the first of its kind not only in Canada but all over the world,” Dhillon said proudly. “Even in Punjab there is no program like this. At the beginning I was doubtful because we had to get all the content and then buy airtime on Joy TV. I had to quit my job at Omni because

Ruby Sidhu and Gouldi Dhillon are the brains behind ‘Punjabi Sports,’ a television show produced in Newton and viewed across Canada and around the world. The show’s rule for content? Anything goes. I was working on a program for Joy TV. Now after three years we are on Omni and can be seen across Canada. “Now I am planning to move to other countries like England and India and start shows there. We can provide the content there and they can have their own shows.” At Punjabi Sports, anything goes for content as long as it is sports related. Dhillon and his camera crews cover sporting events in the Lower Mainland

with the occasional foray into the United States or other Canadian centres. Punjabi Sports also has working relationships with producers in India, which allows them to show footage of sporting events from the subcontinent. In addition to such mainstream sports as soccer, cricket and field hockey, Punjabi Sports will mix in clips of unique regional pastimes. These have included: ❚ Kabootar Baazi. This is a pastime where pigeons are released and people make wagers

on which one will stay aloft the longest. “Sometimes the pigeon stays up all day,” Dhillon said with a grin. ❚ Bull cart racing ❚ Donkey racing ❚ Desi cricket. A regional take on the classic British game, desi cricket features elderly gentlemen playing cricket wherever they can find space. Kind of like the cricket version of road hockey.

❚ NEWS ❚PUNJABI SPORTS

Newton TV show’s support of young athletes gets noticed  continued from page 35 “They are playing cricket in the streets or in farmers fields,” Dhillon said. “They don’t even have the right equipment, they play with bricks and sticks. They just play for fun.” While these sports are interesting diversions, the undisputed king of the Punjabi Sports jungle is the traditional Indian sport of kabaddi. “Kabaddi is really big,” Dhillon said. “I went to cover the kabaddi World Cup in India last year and it was amazing. I went to India with the Canadian kabaddi team and stayed with them. It was the

first World Cup and there was $250,000 first prize and more than 100,000 people showed up for each game. “Kabaddi is definitely the most popular sport. When I put a kabaddi story on Youtube, it gets thousands of hits while other stories only get 200 or 300 hits.” In addition to the Indian sports, Punjabi Sports offers stories about such North American staples as football, hockey and basketball.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and clout reach a yearly high. I didn’t add “effectiveness” because we’re in the middle of a Mercury retro period, a bad time to start anything new (lasting to April 23). Even so, your luck is strongly buoyant, and the “payoff” for past efforts or good deeds could arrive now (or anytime to early June). If you’re single, someone is attracted! Your charisma and energy are doubly strong Sunday/ Monday – “lightning strikes!” Realize that you have to co-operate with a powerful, somewhat sluggish, but perhaps elevated individual. Grab the money Tuesday. A lucky week! Taurus April 20-May 20: Government agencies or “head office” steer your possibilities Sunday/Monday. Go with the flow. New circumstances, new trends are entering your private world – now to 2019. You might soon be working with or attending a large corporation or institution. Don’t be fazed by this – you have the skills required. If stress builds, learn to relax, play golf, yoga, whatever. Fifteen years of career worry ends; 15 years of “wide friendships” begins. Rest, lie low Sunday/Monday. Something lucky brews beneath the surface or behind the scenes before Thursday. Chase money Thursday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes come true, especially Sunday, especially old wishes. Romance, or a flirty friendship, or happiness of another sort seems imminent – so does fulfilment around a legal, far travel, international or intellectual matter. But be realistic, cautious also – a “go slow” signal exists. Could mean “watch what you wish for,” or it might hint that wishes are fulfilled, but in a quiet or sober way. Your popularity is rising, friendly romance occurs, new friends come, especially Thursday onward. Optimism soars! (Retreat, rest Monday eve to midweek.) Fifteen years of “true career” begins.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Be ambitious, this week and the next two. You could grab a promotion, or elevate your worth in the eyes of higher-ups (or cultivate a VIP and gain a prestigious new client, contract or business opening, etc.). This week starts with a jolt (of luck or nerves or ambition) Sunday. You’ll have to combine or merge competing situations to succeed – probably a need to reconcile home with career, gain your spouse’s or kids’ co-operation, etc. The potential for success is tremendous, so make every effort! This week begins 15 years of true understanding, spiritual recognition, and, resulting, true love. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: You’ve suffered 15 years of gullibility, deception, disillusionment and suspicion. (On the positive side, 15 years of spiritual awakening.) This week marks the end of that – though such long trends tend to dissolve slowly, now is the turn-around time. Think, contemplate the broad picture, and you should sense some clues to this change. The next 15 years bring a heightened sense of poetic mystery and nuance, sexual longing, deep spiritual intuition and subtle glamour – a better influence! The next eight years also feature mental awareness, and true love – wedded love. Sunday reveals! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Sunday’s the centre point of a huge life change. The actual events can have occurred in March, or can happen over the weeks ahead. But they centre on this day, and this week. The events: a financial rearrangement or debt, a sexual lust or liaison, a commitment, a lifestyle change, a health diagnosis or surgery, a piece of detective work or research project. It’s destined to change your life. You’ll have to overcome financial “slowness” or caution. Believe in your luck! Be ambitious late week. Fifteen years of unhealthy relationships end: 15 years of “true relationship” begins.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before April 23. Look to the past or to ongoing ventures, relationships. Your success is inextricably tied to relationships, and/or to opportunities, relocation, litigation, negotiation, fame or the public. Sunday can bring a jolt in these – e.g., love at ﬁrst sight – but without the infatuation, gooey-eyed stuff – this is alert, exciting, alive, realistic. Downplay your conservative, reluctant, skeptical or cautious side. (If someone says, “You look sad,” it’s a clue to brighten up!) Love “elevates” late week. Your employment picture changes now to 2025. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Something unexpected happens at work this week, especially Sunday. Follow safety procedures, don’t work while tired, be patient, careful with electricity, machines and computers, or avoid them if you can. I’ve emphasized the dangers, but there’s also luck here: you might be called into work because someone didn’t show, or you’re the trouble-shooter in an emergency, etc., which can set you up for praise, promotion now or soon. Be good-natured! Fifteen years of love’s obsessive puzzlement ends; 15 years of love’s good sweetness begins. You’ll believe me, come June/July and 2012! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Sunday could provide a love shock. It’s illuminating. But it will only be lucky if you can balance impulse with caution (without letting caution win) and money or earnings considerations (or possessions) with your need to express yourself, to be yourself. (Sartre said we’re the slave of our possessions.) All that said, this is a hugely lucky week (and month, and quarter) for romance, children, creativity, school, travel, beauty, art and speculation! Opportunities arise Thursday/ Friday. Fifteen years of indecision, rootlessness end; 15 years of “deep home” begin.

Apr. 3 - April 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing new before April 23. A jolt might come to your domestic or property arena Sunday. (This day is merely the centre of two months of “jolt.”) Be careful with electricity around the house this day. On another level, events can jump-start you into a whole decade of new (money-earning) property dealings, new landscaping, new security initiatives (e.g., RSPs) – despite the word “new” your success now will come from reprising a past goal, condition or contact. Believe in life, buy a home! Fifteen years of money anxiety end; 15 years of “chatty” friendship begin. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You might make a lively new friend this week. This person will not become a life-mate (or not a good one) but you can have lots of fun together. (The problem: a sadness or sombre streak in this person is a clue indicating their ability/tendency to restrict you or to connect too easily to your hidden side.) Despite this, real love is likely. Don’t start any new projects, especially in communications, paperwork or travel, before April 23. Your luck will come from past contacts, and it could be very bright luck! Be restful midweek. Romance, creative surges Thursday onward. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Start nothing new before April 23: deal with past or ongoing projects and relationships. A money, income or possession situation could hold three things (all of some): great luck, career import and “the future” of your earnings (for eight years).This last is highlighted Sunday, when a “jolt” might accompany it. If you can get past a certain skepticism about your own work or your own goals, this jolt could represent a splendid new path in earnings. (This path likely represents working with management or in government, large bureaucracies, charities or institutions.) A lucky week! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Driven to succeed: tips for spring vehicle shopping Need vs. want. Think with your head, not your inner sports car driver. What do you really need in a vehicle? What distances and road conditions do you typically travel? Do you travel empty or loaded with gear? Is energy efficiency important to you? Deal or no deal. Choosing the right dealership is very important. Take time to shop for a dealer whose policies are right for you and always comparison shop. No two dealers are alike. Options are optional. Beware of dealers wanting to sell you vehicles fully loaded with options; they can really increase the cost. You can pick and choose the options you want but when you buy near the end of the model year (typically late spring or summer) you may not be able to get all of your choices, such as a specific colour.

Leasing vs. buying. Take the time to compare both ownership options before you make your final decision. The difference in interest rates and down payments from different lenders may surprise you. Whatever you decide, make sure you fully understand all details of your contract, especially the total cost of financing over the terms of the loan or lease.

Beware of lemons. Always have an independent mechanic inspect a used vehicle before you buy it. Research its history for accidents. If you think you may have bought a lemon (a vehicle with a manufacturer’s defect), check with your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office to see if they can help. While there are no “lemon laws” in Canada, the Office of Consumer Affairs offers tips for consumers who may have bought a defective vehicle at www.ic.gc.ca/consumers. – News Canada

For Canadians, spring is all about getting warm, getting out there, and for some, getting a new vehicle. If hitting the open road in a new or used vehicle is on your horizon this spring, take your time, compare prices, makes and models and really think about what you want in a vehicle. Here are some vehicle-purchasing tips.

Who is behind the wheel – your cell phone or you? As Canadians rely more and more on cell phones to stay connected, government agencies are addressing the use of cellular

devices on the road. With bans already in place in most provinces, including B.C., the rest of Canada will not be far behind.

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that talking on a cell phone while driving increased the risk

of motor vehicle crashes by four times. While the study easily underlines the importance of driving safely, the bans could also help drivers

save money. The cost of the insurance premium with an at-fault crash on your record could be thousands per year,

depending on your previous driving record and the accident details. Add to this that fines for using your phone while driving are well over $100, and the case for not chatting while driving is clear. “The cell phone bans not only result in safer drivers, but they will help make insurance more affordable,” says Mauro Convertini, insurance and claims expert for Aviva Canada. “Drivers can transition into the new laws by taking some simple precautions.” Convertini recommends:

❚ Switch off: Turn off your phone before you get in the car, reducing temptation to answer a ring or message. Remember, callers will leave a message or call back if it is important. ❚ Extra set of hands: Enlist the help of a passenger to take or make a call for you. Or, if you are expecting an important call, let someone else drive. ❚ Pull over: If you have to make or receive a call, look for a safe opportunity to pull over and park. A highway shoulder is not a safe place. – News Canada

A returnee to the Canadian small car battlefield, the Ford Fiesta was forced to retreat to Europe for a number of years but is back with a vengeance. It plunges back into our market wielding a base price of just $12,999 and sleek ultra-modern new styling lines that are the envy of its competitors. The main reason behind this new small car offensive by Ford is that this market segment is expected

to see sizable sales growth in the coming years. More than just a car launch, if all goes to plan, Fiesta will re-establish Ford in the small car market and phase two will see this platform spawn a whole range of other new small Ford vehicles. Boasting best-in-class highway fuel economy, Fiesta also claims to set new benchmarks in small car safety and electronic media connectivity.

2010 Volvo S40 2.4i PREMIUM

The Fiesta sedan comes in S, SE and SEL trim levels. That Canadian base price of $12,999 for the S trim level sedan is actually $2,000 below the US base price – now there’s a refreshing change! What’s more, other than the absence of air conditioning they are identical. Power comes from a Ti-VCT 1.6litre 4-cylinder engine with twin variable camshaft timing that can provide up to 120 horsepower and peak torque is 112 ft-lb at 5000 rpm. Fuel consumption with the automatic is 6.9 L/100 km in the city and 5.1 L/100 km on the highway (which is about 56 mpg). Our bright green (called Lime Squeeze) test Fiesta came with the 5-speed manual transmission but another nice surprise for buyers will be the performance of the optional PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission. Basically, it’s two manual transmissions in one that shift electronically, similar to Audi’s superb high-tech DSG transmission. Called “Kinetic” design language,

introduced with the Iosis concept vehicle, the Fiesta brings a fresh and compelling aesthetic that’s been lacking in our small car market. A sweeping design with oversized multi-element headlights and big wheel arches give it an athletic shape. The hatchback Fiesta retains the Euro grille opening, while the sedan has Ford’s signature three-bar look. A standard rear spoiler sits on the top of the hatchback’s rear liftgate. On the sedan, a spoiler is optional and it fits on the trailing edge of the trunk lid. In addition to outstanding highway fuel economy the Fiesta rides surprisingly well on the highway, for a small car. Some extra reserve power would be nice at highway speeds, but it certainly has no problem getting to high cruising speeds. Fiesta is quick off its mark from a standing start and its mid-range power is also impressive. Its nimble handling characteristics are a terrific bonus and at the top of its class. – David Chao and Bob McHugh
