Music-filled marathon in the works for North Surrey Marathon runners from around the world could be grooving to the sounds of “world” music in North Surrey next year, the Now has learned. Movers and shakers in the area are working to stage something called Surrey International World Music Marathon on Sept. 30, 2012. The large-scale event would involve a marathon run and a variety of cultural bands playing on stages set up along the 26.2-mile route, with

a big concert to cap the day — kind of like the city’s annual Fusion Festival but with much more Lycra. The idea for the marathon was pitched by Elizabeth Model, an avid runner and executive director of Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association.

❚THE COURTS

Fleetwood grandma stabbed 126 times NEW WESTMINSTER Tom ZYTARUK – Surrey grandmother Maria Staff Reporter Catroppa was stabbed 126 times in the Fleetwood townhouse she shared with her second husband, Sebastiano Damin. Dr. Danny Straathof, a forensic pathologist at Royal Columbian Hospital, testified in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster Thursday that an autopsy revealed 51 stab wounds to the 69-year-old woman’s head and neck, 69 to her torso, five to her arms and one to her thigh. “I think they all occurred prior to death,” he told the court. Straathof said he couldn’t tell in what order the stabs were dealt, but added that Catroppa would have died “within seconds to minutes” from those that severed major blood vessels. Damin, 76, is on trial for second-degree murder. The killing happened in the bedroom of the couple’s gated Monta Rosa townhouse in Fleetwood on Nov. 24, 2009. MARIA CATROPPA Both were on their second marriage. The Crown played a 14-minute videotaped police interview in which Damin explained he “did it” after the couple had argued that night and Catroppa threatened to end their 11-year marriage. He said his wife told him “everything was over.” After the argument, he said, he “got to thinking and thinking and thinking.” “Then I guess I went crazy. That’s all.” The interview took place in Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was being treated for stab wounds that he said were self-inflicted. Reclining in a hospital bed, Damin told police he stabbed his wife because he thought she was going to make him leave the house. “I

guess I kinda snapped,” he said. Sgt. John Tvergyak, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, described Damin’s demeanour during the interview as “stoic” and added that the elderly man had “a very intense look on his face.” When Tvergyak asked if he wanted to say anything to his wife’s family, Damin shook his head. At times he seemed to ignore the police officers’ questions, just staring straight ahead. Some members of the public gallery put their hands to their mouth when the Crown produced as exhibits the first of two knives, a kitchen knife with a 30-centimetre long blade. Straathoff believed the second blade, at nearly 11 centimetres long, to be more consistent with the wounds. “I think this knife is a possible cause for the stab wounds that we’ve been discussing,” the pathologist said. Wearing a charcoal grey dress suit, Damin sat stiff as a statue in the prisoner’s box, with a dejected look on his face, as Straathoff discussed the autopsy results. The Crown is expected to close its case today (Friday), with the defence beginning its case next week. Meantime, Catroppa’s family is accepting donations for a scholarship in her name. One of her daughters, a Kwantlen Polytechnic University business professor, said she wants the scholarship to go to single mothers who have experienced adversity. “I’m looking forward to a really long line of women getting this money and moving on to better things,” Dr. Jay Tuason said. Those wishing to donate to the Maria Catroppa Endowment Fund can call 604-5992010. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

IN COURT: Murder suspect, 74, ‘wanted to cry, but couldn’t’ SURREY — Paramedic Tom ZYTARUK Staff Reporter Maureen Shobe was surprised to find Sebastiano Damin still conscious, considering all the blood around him. The 74-year-old Surrey man’s eyelids were flickering, she told a B.C. Supreme Court judge Wednesday. It seemed to her he “wanted to cry, but he just couldn’t.” “I could see that he was pent-up inside.” On closer inspection, Shobe testified,

Damin was far from near death. His wife, Maria Catroppa, 69, however, was very cool — almost cold. She lay nearby, dead of multiple stab wounds. Damin, now 76, is being tried for seconddegree murder in connection with the killing, inside the couple’s gated Monta Rosa townhouse in Fleetwood on Nov. 24, 2009. His trial is being heard in New Westminster, before Justice Ian Josephson. Neighbour Patricia Feduk testified Tuesday that she found Damin covered

in blood. “Maria’s dead,” she said he told her, before handing her his phone, dropping to his knees and curling up in a fetal position. The couple had been married for 11 years. They’d met after Catroppa’s first husband died, and lived on a small farm in Cloverdale before moving to the townhouse. “Nana,” as her family calls her, immigrated to Canada from Calabria in southern Italy some 40 years ago. Her grandson, C.J. Tuason, described her as an industrious

woman who taught herself how to read and write, and worked hard to provide for her kids and grandkids. She was an avid gardener and was possessed of a quiet wisdom characteristic of an Old World matriarch. Catroppa was also one mean cook. Tucking into a plate of her spaghetti, Tuason recalled, was an exercise in pure bliss. The trial continues. — with files from Jennifer Saltman, the Province

Crime on Layton’s mind as he swings into Surrey for a second time during election campaign NDP leader Jack Layton visited Surrey Youth Resource Centre Thursday morning to announce his party’s plan to combat gang violence with a three-part approach. The NDP, he said, would hire 2,500 more police officers, make gang recruiting illegal and would boost funding to the National Crime Prevention Centre. This is Layton’s second visit to Surrey since the federal election campaign kicked off — in part, he said, because the area has three swing ridings. ❚PHOTO/Michelle Kalyk

NEW VIDEO SHOWS CONVICTED HUSBAND AT GAS STATION

Highway foes plan for construction disruption

SURREY — A B.C. Supreme Court judge has released video footage that helped convict former Surrey teacher Mukhtiar Panghali of second-degree murder in the strangling death of his pregnant wife and fellow teacher, Manjit Panghali. Mukhtiar Panghali snuck out in the dead of night to buy a newspaper and cigarette lighter at a Chevron Town Pantry four minutes’ drive from the couple’s Cloverdale home, despite telling police he’d never left home the night his wife disappeared because he was taking care of their daughter. He was caught on video surveillance. “His failure to mention that MANJIT PANGHALI excursion couldn’t have been a mere oversight,” Justice Holmes noted before convicting him of second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body. Holmes found that Panghali killed his wife after she’d returned home from a prenatal yoga class, staged the discovery of her car in Whalley, burned her body on a remote beach along DeltaPort causeway in South Delta, and then delayed for as long as he could before lodging a missing persons complaint with the Surrey RCMP. The killer had called police 26 hours after the fact. Manjit Panghali was a part-time teacher at North Ridge Elementary school while her husband taught physics at Princess Margaret Secondary school, also in Surrey.

‘Mass direct action’ timed with Earth Day, says StopThePave.org group SURREY — Opponents of the South Marisa BABIC Fraser Perimeter Road are mobilizing for Staff Reporter a protest aimed at stopping the controversial mega-project. Tom Jaugelis, one of the organizers with StopThePave. org, says a workshop will be held this Saturday at Kwantlen Polytechnic University to prepare participants for “mass direct action” on Earth Day, April 22, which this year is also Good Friday. The action is being organized by climate activists from StopThePave.org, local chapters of the Council of Canadians and the Critical Criminology Group at Kwantlen. “Our stated goal for this Earth Day event is to disrupt construction,” Jaugelis said Thursday. Opponents of the $2-billion project, a 40-kilometre four-lane highway stretching from Deltaport Way to the Golden Ears Bridge, say it will pollute the environment, pave farmland, increase greenhouse gas emissions and scar the banks of the Fraser River. The workshop at the university, dubbed a teach-in, will feature presentations, action planning and legal information. “This is an open workshop to plan action against local climate crime this Mother Earth Day, with a focus on the controversial South Fraser Perimeter Road freeway,” Jaugelis said. “We are looking for input from the com-

munity in planning this action.” The planned mass action is the third is a series of similar events. Last October, hundreds of people dug up the freeway construction site in Bridgeview with shovels and wheelbarrows, and in December bags of sand were used to build a dike blocking provincial cabinet offices. Jaugelis, a North Surrey resident, said organizers believe it’s time to step up action. He rejected a suggestion that it’s too late to stop the project. Although construction on the freeway started a couple of years ago, Jaugelis said the project that was only “a line on the map” for many years is now becoming a reality, and opposition is growing. “We’ve been doing a lot of door-knocking in a lot of neighbourhoods, especially in North Delta right now, and we’re finding that it’s becoming real for a lot of people,” he said. Proponents of the project say the South Fraser Perimeter Road will ease traffic congestion at key bottlenecks in the region, reduce travel times, link major transit networks and benefit commerce by making it easier and faster to move goods. The drop-in workshop takes place on Saturday, April 9 from 1-4 p.m. at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Fir Building), Room D-128.

❚ A bouquet of roses to the young fellow who took his grandmother’s hand to help her better manoeuver the construction area of White Rock beach on March 24. What a kind gesture and a pleasure to watch. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to the person who complained about the people who wrote rotten tomatoes about the Pizza on Wheels on 112th in the church parking lot. As a student at Burnsview, I know for a fact that the pizza trailer does indeed sell energy drinks and candy to the students. ❚ Roses to all who take the time to submit roses (and not rotten tomatoes). Thank you for appreciating that the glass is half full and not half empty. Recognizing the good in others is good for the soul. Too often people only take time to complain and not to compliment, so your thoughtfulness to send kind words to the Now is heartwarming. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to the overzealous council members who feel the need to harass me regarding parking regulations that do not make sense. Certainly, when I do retire I will volunteer my time to make someone’s life happier and will not have any time to focus on such petty issues.

❚ Bouquets of roses to the couple who helped me when I fell, hitting the sidewalk face first on March 28. The man not only ran from his car to help me up (thereby annoying some drivers behind his car), but he and his wife insisted on driving me home. I do not remember their names, but will always remember their act of charity. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to the editor. It is inappropriate to print a blast involving a personal issue. Young and old read this column because very often it is a lesson in basic human courtesy and to refer to “whooping your candy ass” does absolutely nothing to promote good citizenship nor basic human decency. Shame on you. ❚ Shopping carts full of rotten tomatoes to Save-On Foods in Scottsdale Mall for not accepting less than 1,000 points at one time for the Japan earthquake. ❚ Grateful roses to the night staff at the Westin on Robson Street for being kind and accomodating to us when we were stranded downtown (the parkade was locked) in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

Extra cash for students involved in sports, music SURREY — Surrey school kids taking Marisa BABIC sports and music programs are getting Staff Reporter five extra bucks from Victoria, bringing the total allocation for this year to $25 per student. The funding is part of $15 million in new community gaming grants to non-profit agencies in the province announced by Premier Christy Clark. Surrey’s share of the pot is more than $849,160 and will help support 162 non-profit agencies in the city. Surrey District Parent Advisory Council co-president Bob Holmes said Wednesday DPAC appreciates the extra cash for students.

All-day Kindergarten, seismic work slated for T.E. Scott Elementary SURREY - T.E. Scott Elementary school, which was built in the 1950s when Surrey was still largely a rural community, is getting more classrooms to accommodate all-day kindergarten — plus a seismic upgrade. The Ministry of Education has approved $5.6 million for the project, which includes $3.6 million for new classrooms and $2 million to upgrade the classroom block and gym to earthquake safety standards. Altogether, the school will see four new classrooms to accommodate all-day kindergarten and four to accommodate grades 1-7 students to help ease overcrowding at

But he quickly shifted gears to criticize the lack of capital funding for the school district. When you do the math, the gaming funding isn’t too shabby, he admitted. “You take $5 times 70,000 or so students in Surrey, that’s $350,000, it’s a good amount,” Holmes said. But he noted that when you consider that the school district desperately needs more than $200 million for new schools to ease chronic overcrowding, it hardly registers. “More money is always nice to have but what we’re looking for right now for Surrey is capital funding for schools,” he said.

the Newton-area school, a chronic problem throughout the Surrey school district due to brisk growth in the city. Education Minister George Abbott said it makes sense economically and practically to do both jobs at the same time. “It made sense to look at projects at T.E. Scott and other schools from all angles and make the best use of resources by providing extra elementary classrooms at the same time that full-day kindergarten classrooms are being added,” Abbott said. “These are small steps to help address the need for space in B.C.’s fastest growing school district.” Construction is slated to start in June. Currently, T.E. Scott Elementary consists of the original nine-classroom school a four-classroom modular structure and nine portables. School district officials say construction

Other groups to benefit from gaming funding are seniors and scout troops and cadet corps. Scouts and cadets will get $25 each to help their parents pay for registration in their groups, and $300,000 will support seniors’ participation in the Seniors Games Zones. “Community organizations play an integral role in creating rich and vibrant societies. This funding will go a long way in supporting arts, culture and sports groups,” Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux said in a press release. mbabic@thenownewspaper.com

on the eight-classroom addition will be done first so that the new spaces can be used to accommodate students during the renovations. The new space will increase the school’s capacity to 100 full-day kindergarten and 375 elementary students. Despite the additions, at least two portables and the four-classroom modular will remain on site. In 2009, the provincial government announced its strategy to make all-day kindergarten available for all five-yearolds in B.C. and has been phasing in the program over the past two years. By September 2011, full-day kindergarten will be available to kids across the province. Construction and seismic upgrading at T.E. Scott Elementary should be completed by September 2012. — Marisa Babic

New digs for adult-ed centre The Invergarry Adult Education Centre is opening its new digs at 12772 88th Ave. on April 10. “It’s the same Invergarry in a different neighbourhood,” says Invergarry principal Quirina Gamblen. Invergarry has operated for decades out of its aging facility on 140th Street. Many students learn about Invergarry by word of mouth within their ethno-cultural communities, so Gamblen is trying to spread the word of the move.

‘Cowboy Up’ for rodeo to win prizes creations. The first wrap is slated for Friday, April 15 and then every Tuesday edition of the newspaper, ending one week before rodeo weekend, which is May 20-23. “They can stick up as many as they want, the more the better,” McClurg said. The family-pack prizes include tickets to the rodeo for a family of four and free rides on the midway. “We’re going to have weekly prizes of rodeo family packs,” she said. Dave Melenchuk, general manager of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association, encourages residents and business owners in the city to participate in the contest. “It’s time to cowboy up,” Melenchuck said, echoing the theme, “and you have a great chance to win some great prizes, ringside seats.” Contestants must send a photo of their decked out premises to the Now.

Cowboy Up, and win free tickets to the Cloverdale Rodeo.

The contest, dubbed Cowboy Up, is a partnership between the Now newspaper and the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association and aimed at getting everybody into the rodeo spirit. Arlie McClurg, the Now’s general sales manager, says the contest is a fun way to mark the rodeo’s 65th anniversary. “We’re hoping to create some excitement and get people to cowboy up,” McClurg said. To help everyone decorate their digs, the Now will start publishing a Cowboy Up themed wrap around upcoming issues of the newspaper, as well as some double-page spreads, and contestants are urged to incorporate these wraps into their WAS

Why is province wasting cash changing ministry names? What’s in a name? Shakespeare’s iconic line is not what I have in mind here. I’m talking about how the Harvinder government of SANDHU the day changes ministry names for what seems like no good reason at all. Let’s look at this very recent name change. As of March 2011, the Ministry of Health Services is now the Ministry of Health. This name change is courtesy of Christy Clark, our newest, unelected premier. I guess she felt there was no service associated with this ministry. So the descriptive word “service” had to be removed. I hear the public health nurses are not very excited about this snub. Here’s another example, the ministry that contains the forest service has had its name changed three times in the last five months. In September 2010, it was known as the Ministry of Forests and

material. We are talking business cards, letterheads, brochures, printed envelopes, applications and let’s not forget those freebie trinkets, such as pens or magnets that carry the old name. Replacing all this not because it’s broken, but because the government felt like changing the name. Even if the cost is in the ball park of $100,000 for each ministry, we can safely say the overall cost of Christy Clark’s ministry name changes and or newly created ministries could be $1 million. Probably not a huge cost in the scheme of things, but if we take into account where else we can use these tax dollars, it becomes a wasted $1 million. Even if I’m wrong about the amount of money wasted, a dollar wasted is a dollar wasted! Especially since we continue to hear about funding shortages to keep schools open or providing special needs teachers in overcrowded classrooms. The costs spiral down to other partnerships, community agencies that have programs funded

by these ministries. These already low funded agencies now have to change their paperwork, use precious dollars to create new program brochures to reflect the name of the funders instead of putting the money toward their clientele. Waste of money, again! People need to pay attention and question the governing bodies and ask the politicians in charge why they are wasting our hardearned tax dollars. People need to hold the politicians in charge accountable. This goes for all political parties. Christy Clark comes in and changes ministry names – why spend the money when you are not an elected official yet? This could have been done later after winning a seat in an election. At that time, any changes to ministries are ignored, as the public is high on new promises made that are not yet broken. Harvinder Sandhu’s column appears Fridays in the Now.

Range, Forest Service. In October 2010, it became the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands, and in March 2011, it was rechristened the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Quite a mouthful. Really? My last example is the frequent name change of the Ministry of Housing and Social Development. That was its name in October 2010 and now it’s known as the Ministry of Social Development. Again, like the health ministry, did we really need to take one word out? I have worked closely with this ministry for more than a decade and have lost count of how many times its name was changed. It has gotten to the point where my coworkers and I refer to this ministry by the name we knew it by the longest. There are many more examples, but I think you get the point. It’s not cheap to change a name. Hence, printed vinyl signs rather than the lighted signs. Besides signage on the offices of these ministries, there is also the cost of replacing all the printed

Democracy takes a hit The Editor, It is interesting to note that Stephen Harper and the Prime Minister’s Office did not know

about Bruce Carson’s background before he was hired as a top advisor to the prime minister, yet were able to develop information identifying a young woman as a Facebook friend of Michael Ignatieff and, as a result, kick her and a friend out of a public meeting with Harper. I have to ask; what kind of democracy is that?

Income bill favours the rich The Editor, Re: “MP Hiebert’s income-splitting bill ‘fluff,’ says NDP opponent Keeping,” the Now, April 5. One again Russ Hiebert shows his complete ignorance of all matters financial. The highest-spending able-bodied politician in the country is now taking credit for the Conservative campaign promise to introduce income splitting. For a start, it may be his bill, but it wasn’t his idea. It was first floated by the Reform Party in 1998 and rejected by a parliamentary finance committee as being unfair, repressive and costly. It favours the wealthy – husbands who work, wives who stay at home. It does nothing for single parents or the poor. Not only that, it would cost the government at least $2.5 billion, eroding any surplus needed to pay

Veterans issue beyond MP The Editor, Re: “Hiebert did nothing to help Afghan vet,” the Now, April 1. Reading your initial article was one thing, but reading the feedback from readers got my back up. I am veteran who has been battling Veteran Affairs for 10 years. I have filed appeals, written letters to the minister(s), enlisted the support of the Opposition and have used Russ Hiebert’s good offices – all to no avail. So I think I might have some insight. First: “Everything in his power?” Hiebert has no power. He can write a letter to the minister,

but the minister does not have to act on it, and likely wont because he also has limited powers. For example, the minister cannot intervene unless an egregious act has occurred. So did Hiebert represent me? Yes. Did it help? No – and it’s not his fault. I knew this going in, but I needed to check that box off so I could say I did everything in my power. Secondly: “Change the legislation?” Veterans have been complaining for years about Veterans Affairs. Unfortunately, the problem is not political because the rot lies within the department itself. No amount of legislation is going to change a system that is overly bureaucratic and unresponsive to the needs of its “clients.” Yes, clients (somewhere along the way I went from being a veteran to a client). But what really got my back up was the politicking by the two readers; obviously Hiebert supporters. Herein lies the root of the problem – veteran issues rarely make the headlines unless there are political or journalistic points to be scored, and that is sad. What is even more sad is that the vast majority of veterans who have issues will continue to suffer in silence because they have been indoctrinated to follow the chain of command. So, no means no.

Letters

The Editor, Re: “It’s our duty to be informed at vote time,” the Now, April 1. Politics should reflect and, at its best, conciliate the nation’s differences. Increasingly, in Canada, it does the opposite. It distorts, amplifies and inflames conflict in a political system with few checks and balances, where politics denigrates politicians and politicians denigrate politics. As a result, Canada’s moderate majority seems to have become politically homeless and electorally irrelevant. In the current political “slash and burn” election campaign, pitting Michael Ignatieff against Stephen Harper, busily outspending and outpromising and outpandering each other, we’d perhaps do well to reflect on a timely observation attributed to none other than Woody Allen: “We stand today at an (electoral) crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction. Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice.”

What’s On

Kid and cash, for the music

Billy Pettinger, aka Billy the Kid, plays punk rock when she’s not on her solo-folkie trip. She’s also a poster girl, of sorts, for an instrument-donation campaign organized by the local Shore 104 radio station.

With a little help from fans and friends, Surrey-raised Billy Pettinger records a new album in four cities around North America — and is loving it “What’s money? Man is Tom ZILLICH a success if he gets up in the Staff Reporter morning and goes to bed at night and, in between, does what he wants to do.” This most excellent quote, credited to Bob Dylan, appears on the Facebook page of Billy Pettinger, who knows a thing or two about the pursuit of artistic freedom without much cash in pocket. On stage, Pettinger is known as Billy the Kid, part punk-rocker, part folkie and full-on independent spirit. The Surrey-raised musician has found a way to fund her travels to four cities across North America to record and mix her latest solo album. To make it happen, she’s gone the fan-funding route — with a little help from her friends, too. In a commercial exercise, her website (www.billythekidonline.com) details 15 novel ways people can contribute cash to her albumrecording efforts — everything from $15 preorders of a CD to “a night out on the town with Billy” ($200), having her write a song for you or a loved one ($1,000) and the publishing rights to any one of her songs ($10,000). Money raised has helped Pettinger get from Vancouver to Toronto, Virginia and Los Angeles to record songs in a variety of ways and settings. When the Now caught up with her by phone, she was on a bus headed for West Van to record with Sarah McLachlan’s former husband/drummer, Ashwin Sood.

“It’s boring to make a record in the same place, like an assembly line,” Pettinger said. “The eventual game plan with this is double vinyl, so every five songs will be one side of a record, thematically. Why not, right?” Most recently, the buzz about Billy the Kid is the harmonica-riff acoustic gem “These City Lights,” recorded two years ago but only recently put in high rotation on The Shore radio station locally. The song is on her Lost Cause EP, which came about after the breakup of her decadeold punk band, Billy the Kid and the Lost Boys. “Unbeknownst to some, I’d always written that type of folk music,” Pettinger said. “Whenever my punk band couldn’t show up for a gig, I’d always go play by myself, so there was this kind of percolating repertoire that added up over the years. I just never recorded any of it because the band was always the priority.” Over time, she was left alone in an apartment in Ontario, the band long gone, a laptop there for her to record songs. “Raine (Maida, of Our Lady Peace fame) heard one of the songs on Myspace and asked if I wanted to come to L.A. to make a record.” She did just that, but the project never really got off the ground. “It took two years and didn’t get anywhere,” Pettinger said. “But no harm, no foul — he was just so busy with American Idols and Disney brats. He told me, ‘Protect your independence.’ We parted ways amicably. So I had no band,

no money, no producer, no place to live.” It wasn’t easy, especially after Pettinger had her heart broken by a guy who had put a ring on her finger. “I’m in a better place, but it took time,” she said. “You know, I locked myself in my room for a month, did a lot of driving, 40 hours by myself, cried, laughed, all of those things. If anything, my life is a hell of a lot more fun now.” Pettinger grew up in Whalley, moved to Delta for a time and lived in foster homes. “I’ve pretty much lived near every exit down Highway 1 from here to Chilliwack,” she said with a laugh. In high school, she was given a guitar through an instrument-donation program, and music became the focus of her life. Symbolically, Pettinger is now a poster girl, of sorts, for The Shore’s adopt-an-instrument program, which puts guitars, drums, keyboards and more into the hands of kids in need. Lost Records, Pettinger’s headquarters for all things music, is located in Surrey. “It’s where I do all my mail orders from,” she explained. “I have a place in Vancouver where my stuff is, but I’m not here much.” For Pettinger, the plan is to get the band back together, the punk-rock thing. “It’s still a passion of mine, for sure,” she said. “It’s like the Neil Young thing, that freedom. Some people only know me for the punk stuff, and others just the folk music. But for me, it’s just music.” tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

❚ WHAT’S ON

Randy Quaid’s crew rocks ‘Star Whackers’ in White Rock TheBuzz

White Rock’s beautiful Blue Frog studio played host to actor Randy Quaid and his band, The Fugitives, for a few days late last month. Two songs were recorded and mixed Tom by the band and ZILLICH others, including “Star Whackers” — in reference to the mysterious group of celebrity-killers Quaid and his wife believe are active in Hollywood. Studio boss Kelly Breaks was impressed with the band’s professionalism. “He’s got a pretty good voice,” Breaks said of Quaid, involved in a high-profile immigration case locally. “They’re really nice people — normal people, no pretensions or anything…. They wanted to know where the liquor store was, that kind of thing.” On March 18, Quaid and band opened for The Town Pants at the Commodore Ballroom. This week at Blue Frog, Surrey rock band Bullets Over Beauty is recording tracks for a new album.

Allstar Weekend returns

“Not Your Birthday” is the name of the latest single from Allstar Weekend, who have plans to return to Surrey’s Bell Performing Arts Centre for a gig Sunday, May 29, with Done With Dolls as support. Members of the California pop-rock foursome, signed to Disney-backed

Hollywood Records, make a habit of meeting each and every fan post-concert, so expect the same at the $23-a-head show. Tickets go on sale today (Friday) at Ticketmaster outlets.

dulcimer is a trapezoid-shaped string instrument with anywhere from 120 to 144 strings, played by striking the strings with a wooden hammer. The ensemble also features the sounds of fiddle, guitar, mandoline and harmonica. For more event details, dial 604-592-6956 — or just go and check out the “toe-tapping music, pysanky egg-decorating demonstrations, displays, vintage films and a colour table for the kids.”

Two-day Party for the Planet

The bands En Karma and Dirty Radio have been added to the Party for the Planet event staged by the City of Surrey next Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16. The free, family-friendly shindig, set to happen at Central City Plaza, also features music by Spirit of the West, Hannah Georgas, Aidan Knight, George Leach, Bobs & Lolo, Tambura Rasa, Shane Philip and 2011 Juno Award winner Greg Sczebel. Check out the full event schedule online at www.surrey.ca/partyfortheplanet, or search for the Facebook page. It’s all in celebration of Earth Day, if you hadn’t guessed.

Look, see Joe Given

The latest Look magazine distributed by this newspaper offers a Glee-ful feature of Cloverdale’s Joe Given, who has a gig Friday, April 15 at McJac’s Roadhouse Grille Restaurant, 1781 King George Blvd. in South Surrey. His vocals-andguitar show is due on stage during the dinner hours, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Call 604-531-3167 to reserve a table; check out www.joegiven.com to learn more about Given and his soulful music.

In concert: music of video games Actor Randy Quaid brought his Fugitives band to Blue Frog recording studio during the final days of March.

Dulcimer demo on Saturday

Hey, history buffs, did you know that 2011 marks the 120th anniversary of the first arrival of Ukrainians in Surrey? It’s true, according to people at Surrey Museum responsible for staging a “Ukrainian Cultural Afternoon” this Saturday, April 9. Of musical note is the 2 p.m. performance by the Ukrainian Dulcimer Ensemble, formed in 1998 by Gladys Andreas and others. “When we started out,” she recalls, “none of us knew a note.” For those who don’t know, the

I’m not much of a gamer (not at all, really), but this is intriguing: the pair of Video Games Live concerts April 13-14 at Vancouver’s Centre for Performing Arts. The dates are billed as “an immersive concert featuring music from the most popular video games of all time,” performed by orchestras and choirs aided by synchronized lighting, visuals, live action and interactive segments. According to the hype, it’s “not just a concert, but a celebration of the entire video game industry that people of all ages will adore.” The Video Games Live concept, first unveiled in 2005 at L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl, was created and produced by industry veteran and video game composer Tommy Tallarico. The dates in Vancouver mark the start of a Canadian tour, info about which is online at www.videogameslive.com. Email tzillich@thenownewspaper.com and follow www.twitter.com/TomZillich

❚ WHAT’S ON

‘Crows’ and ‘Camellias’ puts fling in spring Ah, April. Spring is comin’ in, the cherry trees are blossoming and crocus and daffodils are poking up everywhere — even through the hailstones (on occasion). Melanie And it isn’t just the MINTY flowers that are bursting out either. April has a full bloom of dance and drama events. Let me pause here and catch my breath. OK, thanks. Onward. Starting this week, Surrey Little Theatre presents its last play of the season, A Murder of Crows. I thought this was a great title, as crows collectively are

ArtsScene

known as a murder. But no, this murder is not meant collectively. This is a serious play, and is SLT’s entry for Theatre BC competitions. The run started Thursday (April 7) and continues until May 7, stagings Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m., plus two Sunday matinees. Tickets are all $15 at the door; reserve at 604-576-8451 or reservations@ surreylittletheatre.com. For more information, visit the company’s website, www. surreylittletheatre.com. Although A Murder of Crows is the last show of SLT’s season, if you are the right age group (under 18), you are invited to come out and audition for Surrey Little Theatre’s Youth Improv Team. Improv is a great way to hone both acting and social

skills. Auditions for the team are Tuesday, April 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the theatre, 7027 184th St. Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; more details are on the SLT website, or call Loryn LeGear at 778-877-6509 or Tyler Seib at 778-240-9577. Easy. White Rock Players’ Club is currently presenting Ladies of the Camellias. I love this plot: In 1897, two famous divas, Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse, were both to perform The Lady of the Camellia in Paris in the same week and at the same theater. Alexandre Dumas, the French author who wrote the play, has particular complaints about both of their performances. Their respective co-stars, Gustave-Hippolite Worms and Flavio

However, a Russian anarchist named Ivan decides to take the two actresses hostage and threatens to blow up the theatre if his comrades are not released from prison. Now that is action to the extreme. As the play progresses, Ivan, who seems to have a lot of theatre knowledge, is discovered and derided as what those present feel is a new and passing fad, a director. Enter Cyrano de Bergerac to complicate the situation and this wonderful comedy descends into chaos.

available online anytime at whiterockplayers.ca or by dialing 604-536-7535. Sounds like a lot of fun. This is not White Rock Players’ last show of the

season, though. The club is soon holding auditions for its final staging of the year, The Cat’s Meow, running at Coast Capital Playhouse from

June 8 to 25. Based on the true story of a mysterious Hollywood death in 1924, author Steven Peros has fictionalized the events of a notorious

weekend aboard the yacht of millionaire William Randolf Hearst and his much younger mistress, Marion Davies. Guests include Charlie Chaplin,

❚MINTY ON THE ARTS

author Elinor Glyn and movie mogul Thomas Ince. Director Shelagh Shermann is looking for six men between the ages of 35 to 62 and eight women between the ages of 24 and 60. Bring a prepared monologue to audition, dates for which are Sunday, April 17 and Monday, April 18 at the theatre. For details, email director Shermann at oneshermann@hotmail. com or producer Lisa Pavilionis, lisapavilionis@ hotmail.com. This looks like another winner — maybe I will audition myself. You know, bloom where you are planted and all that. When you sit in the audience of any production, do you ever wonder what goes on backstage? If you don’t ever wonder, and are more than content just being a member of audience, then you can quit reading now. If backstage intrigues you, Surrey Arts Centre wants you to sign up for a backstage pass to the magical world of theatre! It is running a program called “Behind the Scenes: A Theatre Sampler for Adults,” running April 13 to May 18, Wednesday evenings for six weeks. In this hands-on class for adults, you’ll use a script as a launch pad to explore different elements of backstage theatre production. Interactive lectures delve into directing, set design, costume design, stage management and lighting design. Professional theatre practitioners, including Yulia Shtern and Stephen Drover, create the ultimate experience for people who love theatre. I don’t actually know Yulia, but I love Stephen. Cost is $125. It’s easy to register, either online at www. surrey.ca/register or by phone at 604-501-5100. As Yoda says, “don’t think… do.” A parting note, all about dance: The Surrey Festival of Dance continues all of April at Surrey Arts Centre. This long-running competition brings thousands of dancers to our doors, offers scholarships, bursaries, trophies and, most importantly, an opportunity to perform. Drop in and watch some dancing. It is amazing. And thanks to all the volunteers who keep this festival operating. It is a mountain of time involved, and the citizens of Surrey salute you. We’ll bring you a bouquet of flowers, just because it’s spring — and your efforts are much appreciated. melminty@telus.net

❚ WHAT’S ON ❚AT THE MOVIES/Hanna

Coming-of-age thriller a first-time winner for North Van director that aids and abets the tension. With Hanna, North Vancouver’s Seth Lochhead has scored big with a first-time screenplay. He wrote the screenplay just before finishing up at Vancouver Film School, then spent the next year sending out some 300 emails to agents, two of whom replied with non form-letter responses, before someone bit. From there, “it caught fire,” says Lochhead. The screenplay was picked up. Focus Features came on board, and Joe Wright (Atonement) was called in to direct. Saoirse Ronan, in diapers when the idea

for Hanna was born, was cast in the lead role of a teen who’s lived her entire life in a Spartan cabin near the Arctic Circle. Her dad Erik (Eric Bana) has taught Hanna several languages, martial arts, hunting and survival skills, all in preparaSAOIRSE RONAN tion for… what? The mystery unspools deliciously, beginning with the flick of a switch

on a long-buried tracking device. Hanna’s target is Marissa Viegler (Cate Blanchett), a CIA agent who oozes menace, from her zealously groomed gumline to her perfect, unscuffed Pradas. Marissa is on the hunt for Erik, a CIA agent who has gone off grid — “he knows things you don’t want to know,” she tells comrades — but she seems particularly interested in Hanna. “It was this strange kismet thing,” Lochhead says of getting his first choice to play the role, “Cate was the best female actress at that point and still is. She’s raw

Introducing the You’re the Boss Mortgage. TM

Just don’t let it go to your head. It’s a whole new kind of mortgage that lets you call the shots. You can put extra money in, take it out anytime and even skip a payment once a year, no questions asked. You’re also in charge of your rate. Choose between a ﬁxed, a variable, and our Half & Half ™ Rate – which gives you the advantages of both. Who’s the boss? You are. With the You’re the Boss™ Mortgage. 1 To learn more go to www.coastcapitalsavings.com, call 1.877.517.7849 or drop by your local branch. Or if you prefer, a Mobile Mortgage Specialist can come to you. Simply go to our website or give us a call to arrange a visit.

2 .10%

Variable Rate 5–year term

Interest rate and approval based on risk profile. Interest rate effective April 4, 2011 and subject to change without notice. High ratio mortgages, non-residential mortgages and non-owner occupied properties are not eligible. Prepayment, reborrow and skip a payment rights are each subject to specific limitations, restrictions and conditions including maximum and minimum dollar amounts. The Half & Half™ Rate is a variable rate. When the Coast Capital Savings prime lending rate goes up or down, the Half & Half Rate goes up or down by one-half of the change in the prime lending rate. 1 Initial interest rate and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on a 5-year variable convertible, closed mortgage, compounded monthly. If fees and/or charges apply, the APR could increase. This is a variable rate product which will fluctuate with Coast Capital Savings’ prime lending rate.

Hanna, the new film best described as a coming-of-age thriller with a smattering of sci-fi, will inevitably be compared to the Bourne films, the 21st-century gold Julie standard of suspense. CRAWFORD Like Jason Bourne, our 16-year-old heroine in Hanna seems preternaturally prepared for the violent trials that await her; there are remote locales, lots and lots of running and a techno score by The Chemical Brothers

It was a “freeing and creative time,” he says. “We’d put the weirdness in, but make sure it was comfortable enough for the ‘squares’.” Lochhead attributes that friendly atmosphere on set, a rarity, to Wright, and it may have shaped the writer’s future plans: “I aspire to control my fate, and hopefully to recreate that experience,” says Lochhead.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have the social tools to connect with some people. That’s how Hanna felt; she really wanted to connect with people but she didn’t have the tools, and the ones she did have conflicted with the rest of the world.” Lochhead was on the

Along the way she meets up with a hippie-ish British family and gets her first taste of maternal concern (from Olivia Williams), not to mention her first friend and a rapidfire crash course in pop cul-

PLAY BALL! Premier league starts anew

North Delta Blue Jays Home field: Mackie Park (10900 82nd Ave., North Delta) Home opener: Saturday, April 9 at 1 p.m. vs Okanagan Athletics The Blue Jays went on a second-half tear last season that carried them all the way to second place in the premier standings with a 32-12 record. The Jays don’t want to do that again — they want to do even better. “The guys have set a goal this year of doing better than last year and that’s a pretty high standard,” said Blue Jays general manager Bob Burkmar. “We finished second last year and the guys want to do better than that this time. And they can do it, too — providing nobody gets hurt.” Head coach Jason Rich will be able to count on a solid core of veterans for leadership, including catcher Tyler Pentland and infielders Cam Frick and Jeff Bouchard. The lineup will be bolstered by a talented group of players moving up from the junior level, including one who was slated to play there this season. Steven Van vooght joined the senior team for a preseason tourney in Kamloops last weekend where his solid play left the Jays with no choice but to bring him up a year early on a full-time basis. “I didn’t want to bring him up too soon in case he got overwhelmed,” Burkmar said. “That wasn’t the case though, he’s fit right in. He’s a good shortstop and even though we haven’t used him as a pitcher yet, he’s part of the baseball academy at Sands (Secondary) and he strikes out guys there who play in this league.”

Sports

The temperMichael BOOTH ature is getting Sports Editor warmer, the days are longer and flowers are beginning to bloom. These signs all lead to one inevitable conclusion: baseball season is here. The B.C. Premier Baseball League — Canada’s top circuit for high school-aged players — embarks on its 2011 campaign this weekend and all three teams based south of the Pattullo Bridge will see action. The North Delta Blue Jays and Fraser Valley Chiefs are both looking to pick up where they left off last season among the league’s elite teams while the White Rock Tritons hope to bounce back after a disappointing effort in 2010.

❚B.C. PREMIER BASEBALL LEAGUE

❚ SPORTS

The Fraser Valley Chiefs (in orange) will play their home opener Sunday when they host the Nanaimo ❚PHOTO/Brian Howell — Now files Pirates for a double header at Whalley Ballpark beginning at noon. Aside from the fresh new faces that replace the departing vets every spring, Burkmar said it will be business as usual for the Jays this season. “We’ll rely on our pitching and even more on defence, plus we want to eliminate some of the base running mistakes that took us out of some games last year,” he said. “The guys have spent a lot of time in the batting cage and our bats should be there for us this year, but our strongest component over the years has been our defence and working with the pitchers. John McRae does a really good job with them.” Fraser Valley Chiefs Home field: Whalley Ballpark (13350 105A Ave., Surrey) Home opener Sunday, April 10 at noon vs Nanaimo Pirates The biggest change with the Chiefs is not who is with the team in 2011, it’s who’s missing. Dennis Springenatic has stepped down as head coach after more than two decades in orange and black, leaving Ernie Hawkins some big shoes to step into as the club’s new skipper. “The biggest change is not having Dennis coaching any more,” said Fraser Valley general manager Paul Hargreaves. “He was

around for 23 years and it’s very strange not to have him around the park. It’s a new year now though and from what I’ve seen so far, the team really hasn’t skipped a beat.” Strong leadership from catcher Brody Hawkins and infielder Ryan Pidhaichuk have helped keep the Chiefs rolling, but it’s their pitching staff that has Hargreaves envisioning a return to the top of the premier league heap. “We lost Adam Quan and Brandon Brandon Bufton and those are huge holes to fill because they were our two senior leaders last year who could swing the bat,” he said. “This year we have a new look and we’re going to win some games on the strength of our pitching and defence.” Caleb Lefebvre will be counted on for big innings as well as veteran newcomers Dylan Rehmke (Langley) and Ty Walker (North Delta). Hargreaves also expects big things out of youngsters Brett Chase (second base) and Braeden Allemann (third base). “We’re very optimistic about our chances this year,” Hargreaves said. “We should definitely be a top four team again.

We’ve been in the final four the past two years and we hope to be back there again. There’s no reason we shouldn’t with our starting pitching. We haven’t had pitching like this in years.” White Rock Tritons Home field: South Surrey Athletic Park (14600 20th Ave., Surrey) Home opener: Saturday, April 16 at 1 p.m. vs Okanagan Athletics Not much went right for the Tritons in 2010. A slow start coupled with a spate of injuries combined to put the team into a tailspin they couldn’t pull out of en route to league-worst 8-36 record. Russ Smithson moves up from the junior ranks to take the helm as the Tritons head coach, a move that meshes nicely with a group of talented rookie who are making the same jump. Many of the new faces in the Tritons’ lineup were members of the 2007 White Rock team that represented Canada at the Little League World Series, including that team’s star pitcher, Shaylen Buis. “It’s nice that I’ve worked with all the junior guys last year so

it makes the transition up to premier a little easier for them,” Smithson said. “It definitely gives me a bit of a head start with the team instead of coming in blind. “We have a lot of Grade 11s who are going to have to contribute and I’m confident they will. A lot of our young guys have already had a taste of the premier league last year so that helps. I think we ended up having eight junior guys play at least two or more games with the senior team and every little bit of experience helps.” Smithson promises the Tritons will play an aggressive brand of baseball, a plan that requires a hefty dose of speed. Josh Sigurdson tied for the BCPBL league lead in stolen bases last season and he’s back for his senior season along with, in Smithson’s estimation, six other players who are legitimate base-stealing threats. After the disastrous 2010 campaign, Smithson said there are plenty of jobs available on the team for those willing to earn them. The biggest battle for playing time may be in the outfield where Sigurdson, Brandon Sonneneberg, Brandon Novak and Jackson Temple all have the ability to start. “The guys are all going to have to work really hard, it’s as simple as that,” Smithson said. “There are spots open for the taking if they play well but they’re going to have to work hard. “I’m really optimistic we’re going to have a bounce-back year. Judging from what I’ve seen in the fall and in the preseason, the league is going to be tough, but I think anybody can beat anybody. If we can win a lot of battles we can finish on the plus side this year. That’s our goal.”

Demand for Graphic Design Technology Specialists

Spurs New CDI College Program Surrey program prepares grads to use advanced design software Technologies used in the graphic design industry have become increasingly complex over the past several decades. With new design software emerging all the time, employers are demanding specialists who can stay on top of trends and technologies. CDI College’s Graphic Design Technology Specialist program trains students to become experts with industry-standard software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and After Effects at its Surrey campus. It teaches students to use industry-standard design software applications, create digital images, and develop editing and processing skills. Students become experts in using technology to digitally manipulate photos, layout designs with QuarkXpress and Adobe InDesign, create website prototypes and application interfaces, and produce interactive digital media projects, including motion graphics. Students in this program are trained for roles in multimedia and digital support, such as visual information/ multimedia specialists,

web and graphic design specialists, design software specialists, or other roles in the digital media and graphics ﬁeld. “CDI College continues to meet the increased demand for skills-based training in British Columbia,” says Dr. Bohdan Bilan, Vice President of Academics for CDI College. “This program was developed with input from professionals within the graphic design and multimedia industries, which means our students learn to master the most relevant tools, techniques and technologies used in the job market today.” A variety of employers are seeking employees with specialized expertise who can bring their unique perspective to all digital design projects, who are good at multi-tasking, and who have strong problem-solving skills within and across applications. CDI College’s Graphic Design Technology Specialist diploma program graduates excel in all of these areas. “This program meets the demands of the growing multimedia design industry in British Columbia and across Canada,” says Randy Cox, President and CEO, CDI College. “Increasingly, employers are demanding workers who have the specialized software skills this program teaches.” CDI College offers the Graphic Design Technology Specialist program at its Surrey and Abbotsford campuses. These two communities are both growing rapidly and offer expanding employment opportunities in a number of ﬁelds. Both are close to the hustle and bustle of Vancouver, but provide a quieter alternative to the big city. CDI College’s Surrey and

Abbotsford campuses are easily accessible by the public transit system or by car. CDI College is Canada’s largest career training institute with 19 campuses in five provinces across the country. For more than 40 years, CDI College has been a leading career training institution helping thousands of students achieve career goals and aspirations. The college offers dozens of specialized diploma programs in the fields of business, technology and health care, which feature realworld training from experienced instructors, small class sizes, flexible schedules and career placement assistance. Programs are created with industry input, ensuring curricula is current, relevant and practical. Are you interested in building a career in multimedia and digital support?

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new (before April 23) but do reap the past, especially in career, ambition, prestige and business areas, where your fortunes are buoyant! A “new” project can be luckily birthed here, especially early week, but don’t try to gain the co-operation of partners or peers. (“New” = restarting a former opportunity; e.g., landing a job with a former boss.) Your money luck rides high Tuesday/Wednesday. Perform paperwork, errands, travel, return messages Thursday/Friday. The whole stretch, Monday eve to Friday night, is smooth, easy, productive. Be quiet, home-bound Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Rest, contemplate, connect with spirit and soul, be charitable, Sunday/Monday. Your energy, charisma and luck surge upward Monday night through Wednesday. You’ll impress people. Express feelings. Love could start, perhaps with a former flame or flirtatious friend. A wedding is written on this one. A legal development could come through, also. In all these, make sure the past is an essential ingredient – start nothing brand new before April 23. Your sexual, intimate, financial, debt and investment zones are enjoying good luck. Health and work hindrances dissolve, freeing you to act. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing new before April 23. But do grab, use, enjoy, accept, even search out the past, especially in financial, investment, debt, intimate, sexual, commitment, lifestyle, health, research, diagnosis, detective, occult and similar areas. (Occult means hidden, not weird.) What you do now could change your life in major ways – perhaps by re-establishing a former condition, or taking you back to a way you left long ago. E.g., you used to own a home, then wandered for 15 years, and now you find/buy a home again. Failure in these Monday, Saturday. Success other days!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and luck continue at a major high. (Though a problem with authority emerges Monday.) Don’t start any new projects or relationships before April 23. Capitalize on past or ongoing people and situations. You might revisit a foreign country or refocus on a lawsuit, return to abandoned studies/courses, or “find religion” again. This is an excellent time to sum up your life, to contemplate how you got here. (But it’s not a good time to set your new direction – yet.) An old friend or employer returns. Romance, luck, creativity soar Monday night to Wednesday! Taurus April 20-May 20: Communications, travel and errands frustrate Sunday/Monday, but there are a couple of lucky gems/moments both nights: perhaps just a feeling that you’re doing things right. You might find a treasure chest of nostalgia! A legal or moral dilemma might face you early week. Chasing or establishing good principles “saves” you. Your luck is smooth and strong on home, domestic, property and security fronts Monday night to Wednesday noon. Love, beauty, romance lure you Thursday/Friday. Tackle chores or health concerns Saturday. Remember, start nothing new and significant before April 23. Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes come true, especially about former friends, loves or old, longheld wishes. An old flame either appears or occupies your thoughts. Start nothing new before April 23 – revel in the past. There are always problems to solve, adjustments to make, even when wishes are fulfilled. Early week highlights a problem with sex or “net worth” in relation to a happy possibility. Next week, a romantic or creative “depression” (anything from caution to skepticism to simple delay or age differences) can oppose another happy outcome. But these are adjustments, not refusals. Happiness lives!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Partnership stuff heats up all April. An ex-spouse (or former boyfriend) is seeking you, might find you. Destiny and/or God has a hand in this. (We think heaven and destiny are far away, far above, but both exist inside. The door’s small, but once you turn the handle, it grows large.) It looks like this is someone who wants marriage, rather than mere romance. If this person does show, it will be true, deep, but a bit tumultuous – can you take it? Be ambitious Sunday/Monday: chose between potential and security. Wishes, popularity, joy visit midweek! Retreat Thursday/Friday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new before April 23. A former job might return – attached to bigger money. A health matter might return, also, but to be cured. Yes, do buy a machine if it is one you bid on or examined before late March, but DO NOT buy anything you just now see. Either it’s a lemon, or you won’t need it. Relations with someone attractive continue to be sweet, gracious (until about April 20) – this could burst into “open merging” June onward (into 2012) – or it could prefigure a great money opportunity, same timing. Ambition’s lucky midweek! Hopes, happiness Thursday/Friday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Start nothing new before April 23. You’re lucky, happy, creative and romantic all April! Something big might happen in child-related, speculative, sport-related, creative or romantic zones. Or, something small but filled with big growth potential might be born (centering on Monday eve/night). It’s an odd time: you can opt for casual, fun-filled, travel stuff, or you can go for the big stuff. Both are lucky, but one, of course, has bigger consequences. All growth now is connected to the past, nothing brand new. Monday-Wednesday significant. Wishes “speak” Saturday.

Apr. 10 - April 16 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing new before April 23. Your luck continues high in security, property, land, family, soul, nurturing, gardening, landscaping, sales territory, foundational and similar areas. Re-do your life, stand up again! Big stuff here, best in years/decades! Start “new” projects closely tied to the past (or continue with the ongoing). E.g., you contemplated buying that house on Elm Street a year ago, and regretted letting it go, and now it’s available again – buy it. But DON’T move into a new place before May 10 – domestic friction would result. Communications remain sweet. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Everybody’s doing big things, but you can’t seem to make up your mind! That’s OK, probably even beneﬁcial. Start nothing new before April 23. Keep romantic suitors waiting a bit. The only things you should be pursuing in April are travel, errands, paperwork, friendships and wishes. The last two are signiﬁcant, might be a door to big future things. Make friends, make wishes, chase your optimistic plans – but make sure these somehow link to the past. E.g., a former social circle, a childhood wish. Exciting meetings Tuesday/Wednesday! A 15year “money road” is starting. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Start nothing new before April 23. But do “renew” or restart something connected to the past, if you see it. (Might show Monday night.) It involves money, possessions, status or school. Your luck is running at a 10-year high in these areas – to June, so don’t waste time – but save brand new projects and plans for late April, May. Watch your spending carefully – don’t spend recklessly! You glow with a subtle sexy magnetism now – someone might chase you. Your future is wide as the ocean now to mid-century. This year, choose ambition, NOT security. Work succeeds midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Dave Redinger Mechanics have car problems too. For years I have lived with the fear that my wife’s car will break down. Money was tight when we started off and we drove old cars. Heaven help me if that sucker ever let her down. I would never hear the end of it. Come to think of it neither did the poor tow truck drivers I sent to rescue her. I noticed early in my career, how break downs are always the mechanic’s fault. I didn’t design it, build it or sell it. It wasn’t me, who didn’t have the time to service it, and it wasn’t me that broke the thing in the ﬁrst place. Cars do wear out. So, how’s that my fault?

By the way I bought the wife a new car. Now she has the dealer to blame. When I stop at a red light with the transmission in drive and my foot on the brake, the car vibrates and shakes. There are times when the engine stalls. I recently had a “tune-up” to see if it would help. The car does run better but it did not help with this problem mentioned above. There are times when it vibrates only slightly but most of the time, it vibrates quite a bit, enough to see the hood shaking. Do you know what the problem is and what is causing it? It sounds as if the engine is not running on all cylinders. The problem could be as simple as a plug that is fouled or more serious such as a sticking valve. Have a dynamic compression test performed. This test cuts out individual cylinders and measures the load they are sharing. The results will lead you to the next step. Dave

In reality, most failures after repairs are conducted are related to faulty parts. New parts do fail. When purchasing car repairs, don’t be shy, ask what the warranty policy is and how repairs are handled if there is a failure. Most shops have very liberal warranty policies, however some don’t. One more thing “Why do most customers ask for a discount?” I tried asking for a discount at a local big box store, they threw me out! http://doctorh.mechanicnet.com

Here are the most common myths consumers have when it comes to vehicle rust protection and the actual facts revealed by a rust control expert.

❚ Myth: Fall is the best time to apply rust protection. Fact: There’s no bad time, but ideally it should be done during the warmer months as the milder temperatures allow the products to better penetrate the treated areas. Freeman Young, president of Krown Rust Control, explains: “spring is a great time to protect your vehicle. With the range in temperatures at this time of year, the metal on your vehicle expands and contracts a great deal, allowing our eco–friendly formula to creep a little faster and more thoroughly into all the seams and crevices to finally remain there and neutralize the effects of salt and moisture.” ❚ Myth: Road salt is the numberone cause of corrosion for vehicles. Fact: Moisture on metal, not salt, is the number-one cause of corrosion, Young added. “Salt is the accelerant, but it is moisture that does the most damage. For this reason, the products used to inhibit the rust must have the ability to remove moisture from the metal and not allow it back. “Krown products are petroleum–

based and fortified with rust inhibitors, but they contain no solvents, VOCs or toxins.”

❚ Myth: Winter is the harshest season for corrosion. Fact: “Actually, winter is not the harshest season for corrosion. Spring is worse because once the temperatures begin to rise and the metal warms up, all of the ‘salty’ residue in seams, crevices and hidden areas of your vehicle, really goes to work,” explained Young. ❚ Myth: My manufacturer’s warranty will be voided if I apply rust protection to my car. Fact: Young clarified that protecting your car with Krown rust inhibitor will not void your manufacturer’s warranty. The car manufacturer is still responsible for rust problems that would be the result of defective parts or improper assembly. “If anything, our rust protection warranty will be the proof your vehicle has been well maintained and will directly have an impact on increasing your vehicle’s resale value.” More information on the benefits of rust control can be found at www.krown.com. www.newscanada.com
