❚FEDERAL ELECTION

DESPERATELY SEEKING DONA Easter deserves better ViewPoint

Tom ZYTARUK

B

usy weekend for celebrations here in Surrey, what with Good Friday, Vaisahki, Earth Day and Easter.

When I think of the huge parade being held to celebrate the Sikh religious festival of Vaisakhi on Saturday, I lament the absence of any cohesive public celebration of Easter in this country.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s not just because I’m Christian, I want a balloon.

But who could deny that Easter celebrations here are quite lame?

The spiritual vacuum this lameness has created has sadly invited such things as Easter bone hunts for pet dogs.

Really, is there any other major world religion other than Christianity that would not consider this an affront, if not blasphemy?

Christians believe that roughly 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ took on the sins of the world by suffering and dying on a wooden cross and then rose from the dead, thereby bridging the gap between us sinners and God. No small deed, that.

So you’d think Christians might display some public cheer at such an accomplishment?

Tory incumbent ducks debate, remains invisible as vote day looms

Epidemic copper theft leaves Surrey residents feeling uneasy and...

DARK

Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

SURREY – The Phantom Candidate strikes again.

Conservative incumbent, Dona Cadman, (Surrey North) was a noshow at an all-candidates debate hosted by the Downtown Surrey BIA Wednesday night. BIA staff confirmed Cadman’s absence and said a campaign worker called to say there was a scheduling conflict. Cadman, the worker said, was double booked.

See OUR VIEW, page 14 See LETTERS, page 15 Cadman was attacked by the NDP who said this was just the latest in a series of no-shows.

Cadman, they said, has ducked debates, newspaper and TV interviews all through the election campaign.

Jasbir Sandhu is Cadman’s NDP opponent in Surrey North. He was at the BIA forum Wednesday.

“This was an important debate. Most of Surrey’s economic activity is in the downtown area,” Sandhu said.

Absenteeism dogs MP Dhaliwal at debate Calling all candidates

Candidates in Surrey North, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Newton-North Delta and South Surrey-White RockCloverdale are invited to email a head shot and 50-word bio to edit@thenownewspaper.com no later than 4 p.m., Tuesday, April 26 for inclusion in riding profiles in the Friday, April 29 issue of the Now.

Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

NORTH DELTA – Call it unlucky 13. That’s where Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal (Newton-North Delta) sits on the list of parliamentary absentees.

The two-term MP’s attendance record in the House became a topic of discussion Tuesday night during an all-candidates forum in Delta.

He missed 69 of 149 sitting days in the parliamentary session leading up to this election campaign, or 46 per cent of the session.

The issue was raised Tuesday during the questions portion of an allcandidates forum in North Delta.

❚ELECTION

Dhaliwal’s absenteeism tops that of all of Surrey’s MPs. During the same session, Conservative incumbents Dona Cadman (Surrey-North, Russ Hiebert (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) and Nina Grewal (Fleetwood-Port Kells) missed 14 days, two and one, respectively.

Dhaliwal defended his absences as days spent flying home to deal with constituency work.

“As an MP, my first priority is to my constituents in Newton-North Delta,” he said. “I have not missed a single day of house duty or a single day of committee duty. My party would not let me do that.”

Dhaliwal’s explanation doesn’t cut much ice with Jinny Sims, his

NDP opponent.

“If every MP was to do that, there would be nobody in the House. Sukh flies home so much because he attends a lot of weddings and so on and I’m not SUKH DHALIWAL sure attending social functions is a good reason to be absent.”

Dhaliwal isn’t the only Liberal with a bad attendance record. Party leader Michael Ignatieff missed 135 of 149 days, putting him at the top of the list of absentees.

Fifty-five of his Liberal colleagues, including Dhaliwal, were among the top 100 parliamentary truants during the session.

Sims believes the Liberals, afraid of forcing an election they couldn’t win, opted to make themselves scarce on critical votes that could have brought down the government.

“I think they have failed to be the opposition when they are there, so they absent themselves from the House. When the question came up at the forum and I started to say something about it, Sukh turned to me and said, ‘What do you know?’”

Sims said.

“I know you have to be there to be an effective MP.”

Cadman’s invisible because of HST debacle: NDP rival  continued from page 1 “This was her opportunity not only to listen to the concerns of small businesses that have been hurt by the HST, but to stand up for them. She failed to do it.”

Sandhu said Cadman has betrayed her constituents all along on the HST question and stayed away from the debate out of fear the issue would be raised there.

Just JASBIR SANDHU one day before a Commons vote on the HST in December 2009, Cadman told the Now 85 per cent of her constituents were opposed to the tax and said she would break with her party and vote against it.

When the HST vote was called, however, Cadman was not in the House.

She played hooky and ducked the issue, later explaining she didn’t want to embarrass her party by voting ‘no.’

Emails and phone messages inviting Cadman to respond to Sandhu’s charges were ignored.

Easter is done right in my wife’s home country of Guatemala  continued from page 1 Instead, it seems that this Easter many will be more emotionally invested in the Canucks.

Oh, sure, come Easter morning local Christians will huddle in local churches.

But once their worship service or mass ends, and they cross that threshold back into general society, what’s left but to pass the ham?

Sikhs, conversely, will have celebrated their beliefs with fireworks on Saturday.

Every Easter I pass in Canada, I think of Semana Santa in Guatemala, my wife’s homeland.

Semana Santa is Spanish for Holy Week, and the folks down there pull out all the stops when it comes to celebrating Easter.

During Semana Santa, work stops on noon Wednesday and stays stopped until the follow-

ing Tuesday. And it’s not just an excuse to do more shopping or watch the tube.

People get engaged in the festivities.

They make intricate designs on their streets with painted sawdust, over which huge wooden barges with statues of Jesus and Mary are carried, city block after city block.

Incense is everywhere, mingled with the smoke from fireworks, and forests of candles. Awesome

sights, scents, sounds and feelings.

It sure beats turning on the tube here in Canada at 11 o’clock Sunday night to see a 15-second news clip of kids and parents elbowing one another to grab chocolate eggs in some park, followed by a shot of the Pope waving from his balcony.

Mountie hurt in brouhaha during Canucks celebration on Scott Road sues RCMP

Modern & Affordable

SURREY – A Mountie who was injured while trying to arrest unruly hockey fans at the intersection of Scott Road and 72nd Avenue in 2009 is suing the RCMP for negligence.

The plaintiff, Rasheed Mohammed Koya, has filed a writ in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver naming as defendants the attorney generals of Canada and B.C., the minister of public safety and solicitor general of B.C., RCMP brass and Staff Sgt. Robert McCloy, alleging they “failed to provide the members with a strategic plan to control the crowds.”

Koya’s writ says he and other RCMP

officers were patrolling the intersection on April 21, 2009, during Stanley Cup playoffs, when someone pushed a junior officer “and an altercation ensued.”

It says Koya tried to arrest the pusher, but when the individual resisted, Koya lost his balance, fell to the ground and three people fell on top of him. The writ says his leg was severely injured as a result and he had to undergo surgery to have steel inserted into his leg as reinforcement. The injury, the claim says, prevented him from training for a position with the Emergency Response Team.

“Always keeping our patients smiling”

Residents in dark, thanks to copper crooks SURREY – A Newton Tom neighbourhood has been ZYTARUK Staff Reporter without lamppost light for nearly two weeks after copper thieves stole some 400 metres of wire.

It’s become a trendy crime, with copper’s spot price at $4.35 a pound.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said the detachment has been investigating two or three new wire thefts each day as of late. “It’s all over the city,” he noted.

Sukh Johal, a realtor living in the area of 83A Avenue and 134A Street, woke up on Saturday, April 9, to find the lamppost at the edge of his lawn had been tampered with. He went for a walk, and found it was the same story with other posts along the street. So he called the Surrey RCMP, and Cobra Electric, contracted by city hall, came and capped the posts before night fell.

“At night time, it’s pitch dark,” Johal said.

Johal said the police have been doing a “tremendous job” patrolling the area since the theft. Despite that, he laments, a car had been stolen from his next-door neighbour.

Johal said the City of Surrey’s engineering department informed him that it might take up to three weeks before the lamp posts are fixed. So far residents have been putting their front lights on at night

so everyone’s front yard is lit up, he added.

“Traffic operations informed me that since April 1st they have had 20 reports of stolen wiring from lamp posts.”

Meantime, TELUS crews on Wednesday night restored service to roughly 600 phone customers and 3,000 Internet customers after thieves cut down five TELUS cables at 168th Street and 107th Avenue, stealing 65metre sections from each.

TELUS spokesman Shawn Hall said the thieves made off with the copper but left behind four fibre optic cables they’d also wrecked.

“Metal theft has become an increasing issue for many companies as the price of copper and other metals has increased in recent years,” he noted.

Wednesday’s damage had left customers without 911 service for nearly a day. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Do you have somebody you would like to thank? Or maybe something you want to get off your chest?

Send your rose or rotten tomato to edit@thenownewspaper.com

❚ Rotten tomatoes to elections signs featuring English and another language – one that is not even Canada’s second official language. I am German and I do not see German on these election signs. Multicultural is supposed to mean equal to all! These signs point out to me favouritism to one particular group of people. I can’t help but ask the question of politicians: If voted in, will you also show favouritism to that particular group of people?

Watch for Roses and Rotten Tomatoes in the Friday issue of the .

❚ Rotten tomatoes to the selfish, arrogant, inconsiderate neighbour who parks his big black pickup in front of his garage door in the alleyway. Not only does he block the road while he welds, cuts wood and makes noise, his dog sits out there and craps.

❚ Roses to strata council members and owners who don’t have to air their dirty laundry with other owners in this space. ❚ Sweet beautiful roses to the new Starbucks that opened up in Fleetwood – probably one of the biggest locations I’ve been to! Service is beyond my expectations and the sweets are just as fresh. ❚ Millions of roses and loving hugs to the friends and family of Laura Szendrei.

Please know that many of us could not participate in the recent walk for Laura in North Delta, but our hearts were and are with you. Mere words can’t really express enough. Stay strong.

❚ Yards full of rotten tomatoes to all the nincompoops out there who are disturbing the peace with their gas-powered lawn mowers. Get rid of all that fat and buy a push mower. Much better for your lawn and your fat bodies!

PUBLIC NOTICE

17 AVENUE & 146 STREET REVERSAL OF STOPPING DIRECTION The City of Surrey is planning some changes at the intersection of 17 Avenue and 146 Street. Presently, traffic on 17 Avenue must stop for traffic on 146 Street. Traffic analysis has shown that the volume of traffic on 17 Avenue significantly exceeds the traffic volume on 146 Street. It is safer for those streets with lower volumes to be required to stop. For that reason, the stopping direction will be reversed so that traffic on 146 Street will be required to stop.

To maintain safety and minimize driver confusion, the changeover will be undertaken in 3 phases: Phase 1

Notification Signage Erected

April 18, 2011

Phase 2

Temporary All-Way Stop

May 2 - June 1, 2011

Phase 3

Removal of 17 Avenue Stop Signs

June 1, 2011

Additional signage and pavement markings will be installed before and during the changeover.

❚ The most rotten, putrid tomatoes in the lap of the woman who refuses to follow the four-way stop system and forces her way through, even though she is the last to approach. See for yourself on Friday at 154th and 20th.

This analysis was done as part of a pilot project for cycling Neighbourhood Routes, which are routes through local roads connecting neighbourhoods through Surrey. The pilot project connects the Semiahmoo area to Ocean Park. 17 Avenue at 146 Street is part of this east-west route, which will be facilitated by the inversion of the stopping direction as well.

❚ Roses to Noah and Macayla for my beautiful, hand-made birthday cards, my great gifts and the delicious Greek dinner!

For more information, please contact the City at 604-591-4853 or cycling@surrey.ca.

Please use extra care at this intersection as people get used to the changes and new operation.

Khalsa Day parade is much better name for Vaisakhi event in Surrey MyView

It’s the Surrey Vaisakhi parade weekend and this time around there seems to be less media coverage of it — correction, less controversial Harvinder media coverage.

SANDHU Usually by now, there would have been some comments made by some diehard pro-Khaslistan supporter who would later state that the words were never meant to be inflammatory or threatening. Or there would be some reporter quoting some politician’s gripe about the parade.

Where are these limelight seekers this year?

Are they perhaps out to fry bigger fish? Maybe they are busy with the federal election and are not into small-scale attention at the municipal political level — that could be it.

I’m sure we will see the politicians who are running in Surrey out in full force to woo thousands of parade goers just nine days before election day, especially for the Newton-North Delta riding, which has already been flagged as one to watch.

But will they come? Isn’t the parade organized by a Gurdwara that supports and celebrates militant Sikhs who are honoured for having killed Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, and some who are still con-

Surrey’s Vaisakhi parade – or, as Harvinder Sandhu would prefer it to be known as, Khalsa Day parade – hits the streets Saturday, April 23. Visit the Now online at thenownewspaper.com for route details.

sidered to be main suspects of the Air India bombing? What image of themselves do the politicians want the broader Surrey populace to see?

Other than that, the only other news in the media was the apparent name change of this upcoming parade and harvest holiday.

Suddenly, the Vaisakhi parade has become the “Khalsa Day” parade.

When I first saw this in the Province newspaper, I was shocked. After some research, I found that this label has been in use for a while in Brampton, Ont. Who, or what entity, came up with this term and why? Are the proKhalistan Sikhs behind this? Or is this the work of a group that wants to give the Vaisakhi Harvest Festival its good name back by removing the Sikh element from it?

Calling it Khalsa Day leaves no confusion as to which group of people this parade belongs to.

The Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi because it is during this festival and day when the tenth guru created “Khalsa.”

The Vaisakhi parade in Surrey has been all about the Sikh religion, with reverence given to the moving Gurdwara where the holy book is enshrined. Calling it Khalsa Day is very appropriate.

Regardless of how or why this name change came about, I’m all for it. Now, Sikhs in Metro Vancouver

can really take ownership of their religion and its reputation.

The Sikh religion, as written and practised by all the gurus, teaches humility, giving of oneself, equality for women and many other positives that basically teach us to be good people.

Like most other religions, this one, too, has some human elements seeping into it, its followers in their zeal, bringing negative attention to an otherwise peaceful religion.

Embracing Khalsa Day means Sikhs are embracing their religion and all that it stands for. The annual Surrey Vaisakhi parade should be called Khalsa Day parade, as it is about the birth of Khalsa.

It also means the organizers will have to work hard to keep the negative out and showcase Sikhism in all its positive glory.

Any negative attention spawned by zealous followers will only tarnish the religion and the gurus who sacrificed their lives for it.

As a Sikh, let’s welcome everyone and do seva (service) without prejudice.

Maybe the politicians can roll up their sleeves and do seva along the parade route instead of giving “vote for me” speeches.

NEW WESTMINSTER – Seeing the teens who killed his son sentenced Wednesday didn’t change anything for Syd Skura.

“They’re going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives and so will we. The main difference is they have their lives, Matt doesn’t. No matter what they’ve gotten, it doesn’t really change it for us,” Skura said outside B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

The teens, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were convicted in December of

Stromberg-Stein said that two-thirds of the sentence must be spent in jail and the remaining year will be spent under community supervision.

Skura said the justice system does not make young offenders accountable for their actions, however, he’s hopeful that the two young men will prove that they are ready to change their lives.

❚ NEWS ❚IN COURT/Elderly man on trial for stabbing wife 126 times

Defence urges manslaughter verdict in Surrey murder case Tom ZYTARUK Staff Reporter

NEW WESTMINSTER – The lawyers for an elderly Surrey man who stabbed his wife 126 times say he didn’t mean to murder her.

During closing arguments Tuesday in the Sebastiano Damin murder trial, defence lawyer Rajdeep Basra argued that the accused, who was 74 at the time of the stabbing, was “not the type of person likely to commit the offence of murder.”

The Crown, he said, had not proven its case that Damin intended to kill his wife of 11 years, 69-year-old Maria Catroppa, when he stabbed her in the couple’s

Fleetwood townhouse on Nov. 24, 2009.

A psychiatrist for the defence testified last week that Damin was probably aware he was using a knife when he stabbed Catroppa, but wasn’t able to consider he’d kill her.

Dr. Jeanette Smith MARIA CATROPPA told Justice Ian Josephson there’s “considerable doubt he (Damin) would have been able to consider the consequences of what he was doing at the time.” She testified Damin was suffering from a depressive

disorder that affected his cognitive function.

Damin, now 76, is on trial for seconddegree murder in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. His defence lawyers, Rajdeep Basra and Anthony Robinson, have urged Josephson to consider a verdict of manslaughter or find Damin not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.

Basra argued that Damin suffers from “disconnective cognitive impairment” and “brain shrinkage.” There’s “ample evidence,” he added, that the accused suffered from a major depressive disorder. He was taking anti-depressants and anti-psychotic medication at the time.

“There’s evidence of psychomotor retardation,” Basra added.

He argued that the elderly man had “by all means” lived a peaceful life up until the stabbing and that there is an “absence of motive” for murder.

During the trial, the court heard evidence that Damin and Catroppa would argue because he didn’t want to be left alone, or for her to leave the house.

“It’s inconsistent one would commit an offence against the very person they want to take care of them,” Basra reasoned.

Nor is there any evidence, he said, that Damin tried to hide what he’d done.

“There’s no evidence he tried to clean up the scene. There was blood everywhere.”

Josephson is expected to deliver his verdict on May 20.

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immunosuppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular #63 dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage.

Vaisakhi roadblocks The Surrey RCMP is alerting residents and businesses to a number of road closures in Newton on Saturday related to the Vaisakhi parade.

Fifty-four intersections will be closed all day Saturday and vehicle traffic will be blocked from 88th Avenue to 72nd Avenue (North and South) and 123rd Street to 132nd Street (East and West).

The police also advise that anyone under age 18 caught with fireworks will be subject to a $250 fine.

Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator:

!Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB ! All around healing effect!

Mountie standing trial A Mountie accused of obstruction of justice related to a fatal traffic crash in Delta in 2008 has been ordered to stand trial following a preliminary hearing in Surrey provincial court this week.

Cpl. Benjamin (Monty) Robinson is expected to appear in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster May 19 to fix a date for trial. Orion Hutchinson, 21, of Tsawwassen, was killed on Oct. 25, 2008 when his motorcycle was hit by a jeep driven by the off-duty officer.

Delta Police recommended that Robinson be charged with impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death but the Crown laid the lesser charge of obstruction.

Robinson was the most senior officer of four Mounties who were involved in the tasering death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport in 2007. None of those officers have been charged with any crime.

Acidic Stomach & Acid Reflux

By Dr. C. Hammoud, PhD - Must help or money refunded If your stomach is excessively acidic it means all your cells in your body are acidic. By correcting the excessively acidic stomach you should not need anti-acid pills to control reflux (heartburn). All acidic cells are deprived of oxygen and are the breeding ground for many illnesses including weight gain, diabetes, stress, vascular diseases and cancer. This fact was discovered by Dr. Otto Warburg years ago and he received two Nobel Prizes. You can change your acidic cells in your body by eating 80% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, fruit). Eat 20% acidic food (bread, noodles, rice, animal derived foods). Full details inside the box. If you don’t want to make major #39 changes in your diet, try Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39 guaranteed to bring your body to a pH alkaline balance. Free pH test kit inside the box. Dr. C. Everett Koop M.D. states that 68% of all illnesses and deaths are due to the wrong food and the quantity we eat. Unfortunately, virtually nothing about nutrition or natural health products is taught in medical school say many prominent medical doctors in print and on TV including the well known Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. Go on the internet and inform yourself.

SURREY – Surrey school trustees are Marisa BABIC calling on the Ministry of Education to Staff Reporter cover the shortfall caused by the province’s flawed CommunityLINK funding formula.

The school district will receive $3,825,564 in funding for the CommunityLINK program for 2011/12.

“This year we get exactly the same amount as last year so there’s no compensation for growth at all,” Surrey school board chair Laurae McNally said Tuesday.

Upset over the funding, trustees sent a letter to Education Minister George Abbott asking for $2 million in bridge funding for the coming school year to enable the district to deliver its CommunityLINK programs until the funding formula is fixed.

McNally didn’t mince words when criticizing the province for its failure to adequately fund the program that helps the city’s most vulnerable kids.

She said the board has been lobbying the provincial government for a better shake for a decade.

CommunityLINK, which stands for Learning Includes Nutrition and Knowledge, provides breakfast and lunch programs, inner-city school programs and counseling for at at-risk children and teens.

“The government should be ashamed that the most vulnerable children and GEORGE families in our district have been treated ABBOTT/ like second-class citizens for more than “This is a a decade due to the unfair funding forbroader mula this government has so far refused issue than to change,” McNally said. us just McNally noted the current funding formula leaves the Surrey school district cutting a lagging far behind other districts. cheque for Although Surrey is the largest school Surrey.” district in B.C., Surrey gets roughly half of the allocation for Langley, and a third of the funding provided for Vancouver.

At the request of trustees, Abbott met with the board of education in Surrey on April 12 to discuss a wide range of issues, including the CommunityLINK funding formula and a critical lack of capital funding to build new schools in the rapidly growing city.

McNally said Abbott was sympathetic and agreed that the funding formula needs to be fixed but told trustees it was too late to do anything about it for the coming school year. To step up the pressure, they sent the letter.

Abbott said ministry staff will look at Surrey’s request “respectfully,” but was cautious about his comments, noting that other school districts in the province believe they’re in the same boat.

“I understand the concerns that they have, they are not alone with respect to those concerns,” Abbott said.

“Coquitlam and others have a similar view, and in fairness one can’t do a one-off with Surrey and ignore the others. This is a broader issue than us just cutting a cheque for Surrey.”

If the ministry fails to cough up the extra cash, McNally warned that trustees must make some tough decisions.

“If we don’t get it, the board has two options. We have to probably eliminate part of our school meal program or we won’t be able to expand our community school program, or we’ll have to make up the shortfall out of our operating budget, which will mean taking away from every classroom in the district.”

Cadman and Grewal think they’re avoiding us, but candidates are really dodging democracy Two Surrey federal candidates are going out of their way to dodge the media in this campaign.

Both are Conservative incumbents. Dona Cadman (Surrey North) has gone through the motions of trying to respond to interview requests, but the attempts have been so feeble, it’s hard to believe they were genuine.

A dentist appointment? Please.

Cadman missed the Downtown Surrey BIA all-candidates meeting Wednesday night, ostensibly due to a scheduling error by her staff.

That leaves us with the choice of

sometimes sharply, leaving us to wonder if that’s the reason for their reticence. If so, both are doing a disservice both to the thousands who read the Now and to democracy.

We are an equal-opportunity critic; we’ll spank any politician who deserves it.

Say, or do, something stupid or unworthy and we’re there. Liberal, Tory, New Democrat, Green, it makes no difference. We’ll take ‘em all.

We in the media serve democracy. If the Cadmans and Grewals

of this world refuse to talk to us, for whatever reason, democracy suffers. We ask questions of politicians, then share the answers with our readers. We try to help our readers decide who will best serve them. It would be good if the candidates would participate in that process, too.

Democracy demands a free press. It also demands a press that has access to those in power and to those who want to be in power.

Anything less is a sham and dangerous.

– The Now

out in front in Quebec, although it must be said it was an online poll and those can be easily manipulated.

Still, it showed the NDP at 36 per cent, five points up on the Bloc. OMD! The Liberals, once unchallenged in la Belle Province, came in at 13 per cent, while the Harperites fared somewhat better at 17 points.

Bloc head Gilles Duceppe has dismissed the poll as wrong, but just in case, has ramped up the usagainst-them sovereignty rhetoric in recent days. You really can’t go

wrong by scaring the crap out of voters.

Yes, Jack is a very popular guy these days, although it has to be said the other party leaders haven’t set the bar all that high.

Still, people are paying attention and New Democrats could be forgiven for becoming giddy at the prospect of displacing the Liberals in the Number Two spot on election day.

❚COLUMN

Candidates just don’t seem to give a damn I’ve been a journalist for 30 years and have covered a goodly number of election campaigns, but this one is far and Ted away the dullest. COLLEY Nobody cares.

The public isn’t into it and judging by the fact my phone isn’t ringing off the hook, neither are a lot of the candidates. We cover four ridings with a total of 27 people after your vote.

We don’t chase candidates; if they want coverage, they need to pick up the phone or fire off an email saying so. Our coverage is issue-based, so if you want to play, come with something worth talking about.

So far, a grand total of six of the 27 have made the effort. Six. The rest are apparently so sure of victory, they don’t need any ink in a paper that goes out to 113,000

twice a week. A pretty confident bunch.

Maybe we’ve just got a lot of bookmarks. ❚ The NDP is enjoying a surge in popularity this time out, riding the coat tails of leader Jack Layton.

Recent polls show Layton is w-a-a-a-y more popular than any other party leader and although the party isn’t keeping up with the Jackalope, it has pulled even with the once-mighty Liberals at around 25 per cent.

Either way, it’s not good news for voters in Surrey-North.

Nina Grewal (Fleetwood-Port Kells), at this writing, doesn’t even bother with lame excuses. She simply ignores our requests. Her people say she’s out knocking on doors each time we call and Grewal is apparently the only candidate in this election who doesn’t have a cell phone.

the HST. As a result, we had no voice in Parliament.

It would appear that the Conservative Party is simply capitalizing on the Cadman name to garner one more seat.

This time, I will not put an “X” by the name of Cadman on the ballot. Her actions do not meet the standard set by Chuck.

Norm Nichols, Surrey

Dona is a disaster The Editor, Dona Cadman’s double-cross on the HST vote made me equally mad as it did sad.

Surrey is evolving and we need good leadership that listens.

Dona Cadman is not it.

I haven’t heard her attending any debates, I haven’t seen her on TV, heard her on the radio or seen her quoted in print since her disastrous Globe and Mail interview when she revealed she chose her caucus buddies over the voters of Surrey North on the HST. This makes a mockery of democracy — behaviour that is all too familiar from Stephen Harper’s Tories.

I, for one, will not vote for an elected representative who neither talks to, nor listens to, her constituents.

Betty McClurg, Surrey

Column almost derogatory The Editor, Re: “Immigrants eager to vote, so why aren’t Canadians?” the Now, April 15.

I would like to correct the image Harvinder Sandhu’s columns have given many readers, specifically her column on voting and a column from August about “hardworking South Asians.”

First, South Asians are eager to vote? This is a gross exaggeration of reality.

South Asians are just as eager to vote as the rest of Canadian society is, depending on the usual factors: knowledge of candidates and of the political system, interest (or self-interest), etc.

I doubt that just being a immigrant is the only reason for their interest in voting. I think her column puts too much of an emphasis on immigrants being willing to vote, especially since those immigrants are really just part of the bigger picture of millions of Canadians who are interested in the political system.

As for the August column, not only was that an over-the-top exaggeration, it was biased and prejudice. Most of Canada’s citizens are immigrants from around the world, and each other parts of the world have made a contribution in building Canada.

All immigrants to Canada have worked hard to develop their own

lives. To place a spotlight specifically on a South Asian effort, rather than everyone’s as a whole, is almost derogatory.

Canada is made up of multiple cultural identities and each has its own place. Let’s not forget that.

Letters

The Editor, In May of 2005, I took pride in watching my Member of Parliament, Chuck Cadman, stand up in Parliament and vote the wishes of his constituents.

Here was someone from North Surrey on a national stage, standing up for our community and voting on the principle that the voters of North Surrey actually mattered.

Cadman made me proud that day – proud that he came from my community and proud that I may have had a small part in his coming to the conclusion that the wishes of the people of North Surrey were important.

Chuck was one of our own and he stood up for what was right.

The wishes of his constituents were so important that, despite the fact that he was undergoing chemotherapy for melanoma, he flew across this country so that we, in North Surrey, could have our vote registered in Parliament.

It is so sad to observe that Chuck’s widow, Dona Cadman has not been able to live up to the same principles.

Maybe the bar that Chuck set was simply too high. Given an opportunity to represent the wishes of the people of North Surrey and vote against the HST in Parliament, Dona Cadman chose to absent herself from the vote.

She refused to stand up to Stephen Harper, knowing full well that the people of North Surrey were overwhelmingly opposed to

MP is a first-class waste

The Editor, First-class or nothing – that’s the policy of Russ Hiebert, our elected MP for South Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale.

First, it’s first-class or businessclass airplane tickets to fly back and forth to Ottawa on a weekly basis for his entire family. Then it’s the first-class pension that awaits him when he is finished his “firstclass service” to you and me.

Then comes the never-ending mail-outs via first-class mail. Now we are forced to look at first-class ads in living colour telling us about the wonderful first-class economic stimulus that he has created for our area.

What a colossal waste of our first-class money. I think it’s time to show Hiebert some economics of scale and provide him with a first-class bus ticket on the 351 back to Vancouver. Now that would be a first-class act.

On May 2nd your choice is clear!

AND THE RESULT WILL BE…

❚ VIEWPOINT ❚LETTERS

Spoiling the ballot better than not voting at all The Editor, Re: “Try shaming dishonest politicians, not fedup voters,” the Now letters, April 19.

Harvinder Sandhu’s column aside, I am writing to urge letter writer Paul Gibbs and all disaffected voters to get out there on May 2.

If you can not, for any reason, bring yourselves to vote, spoil the ballot.

Spoiled ballots are counted; no-shows are not.

If you want to drive change and make elections relevant to this century, you have to be counted.

If you do not have the participation of at least 90 per cent of eligible voters, defacto, you do not have a democracy.

Further, I believe voting should be easily accomplished from any computer, the way you file taxes, and required, as in Australia.

So get off the couch, go to the polling station and spoil the ballot.

If Parliament is unaware of the problem, it cannot develop a resolution.

Proportional representation could be the answer.

What’s On

Luvia Petersen (left) and Ashley Siddals star in “Waiting for the Parade,” a John Murrell drama about five Canadian women and their experiences during the Second World War. The play, the first for new local theatre company 16th Avenue Productions, opens Thursday, April 28 at Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock. ❚PHOTO/contributed

‘Parade’ of WWII memories

❚THEATRE/New 16th Avenue company brings drama to Coast Capital stage For an inaugural play Tom ZILLICH staged by a theatre company Staff Reporter new to the region, 16th Avenue Production’s version of wartime drama Waiting for the Parade is creating some buzz.

At Capital Playhouse starting Thursday (April 28), five actors are cast in the John Murrell script, which offers a look back at the Second World War through the eyes of five Canadian women.

“Love, laughter, longing” is the tag line used by those responsible for staging the play in White Rock.

“Heartwarming, hilarious and haunting” are other words director Wendy Bollard employs to describe the script, suitable for all ages.

“My son’s friend was over the other day, a 15-year-old girl, and we were having rehearsals at the house,” Bollard told the Now. “She was absolutely riveted watching the action, and she really wanted to know what happens next — she only saw part of it, of course. So I think it’s a really important story to retell and remember, especially since we’re coming up to the anniversary of VE Day.… (The play) is not only for senior citizens or those looking to remember the war, it’s a story about these five

women and what happens to them.”

It’s heartbreaking, Bollard said, to realize the sacrifices people made during those wartime years, and how they managed to live through it.

In a research mission, Bollard recently met with a group of women including Cloverdale resident Middy Lundy, who lived in Saskatchewan during the Second World War and gave the director plenty of insight.

“It was great to be able to ask Middy and all the other ladies what it was really like (back then),” Bollard said. “Did you really paint your legs? What was it like to wait for six years for it to be over? I am very thankful that these women have opened up their lives to me; it has been so helpful in directing this play.”

Bollard, a South Surreyite, is a professional actor and musician who launched 16th Avenue Productions in March to bring more live theatre to the area.

Rehearsals for Waiting for the Parade have been held at her house and also at White Rock’s spacious First United Church.

“They’ve gone amazingly well, and I can’t wait for people to see the play,” Bollard said enthusiastically. “The actors now, they’re like horses at the gate, you know? It’s gone better

Coffee With Dave

than I could have imagined and I think that’s because when we were casting this, I was really aware that it should involve an ensemble of people who were going to get along and have their personalities meld. I was looking for talent but also for team players.”

Among the actors is Vancouver-based Becky Hachey, who said she “feels lucky to be doing such a wonderful play in such a great community.”

Other actors on stage for the eight-date run of Waiting for the Parade are Luvia Petersen, Kim Arklie, Ashley Siddals and Elyse Raible.

“They’re a director’s dream, too,” Bollard added, “because whatever I ask them to do, they try it. There are no egos, no, ‘Oh, I don’t think that’s what my character would do.’ It’s like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s try it!’”

It’s talent-search time in Metro Vancouver, with calls out for several contests.

In Surrey, the sixth annual BC Junior Talent Search roars to life again this month, with open Tom auditions set for April ZILLICH 30 and May 7 at Central City Shopping Centre, from 1 to 3 p.m. both days. Young performers (age seven to 18) are welcome to show up, pay the entry fee of $25 and sing vocals only — no backtracks or instruments allowed.

The talent contest semi-finals happen May 14 at Central City and then again May 20 at Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair, followed May 21 by the finals on the Budweisier Stage at the fairgrounds there.

Winners of BC Junior Talent Search will receive a pro demo recording from the local Danielsen Studios and Sonic Voodoo Productions, cash prizes sponsored by The Vaudevillians and the chance to perform at some of the City of Surrey’s big yearly events. To pre-register, call Chris at the Now office, 604-572-0064.

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 If in doubt, call the Water Department at 604-591-4152 from 8 am - 4 pm or 604-543-6700 after hours.

Behind Sapphire home, fired up

Local folk-pop quintet Behind Sapphire is back from an epic threemonth tour of Canada that took them as far east as Prince Edward Island.

Their “Albatross” 15-passenger van had transmission problems, ran out of gas and otherwise took the band members on a winter-spring adventure they’ll never forget.

“We met so many great people and didn’t once have to pay for a place stay — we just asked people to put us up during our shows and it always happened,” reported vocalist/guitarist Matthew Mazankowski, who, like bandmates Grant Cassell and Brayden Pichor, has roots at Seaquam Secondary in North Delta.

Behind Sapphire, which also employs drummer Steven Ward and guitarist Lindsay Sjoberg, made noise during the final rounds of last year’s big Peak Performance Project talent contest.

After a “homecoming” gig Saturday night (April 23) at the Red Room in Vancouver, the band plans to write and record songs for a new album.

More time for tribute acts

Tribute acts continue to work the local market. Veteran local impresario Les Vogt brings his Buddy Holly Story In Concert show to Surrey’s Bell Performing Arts Centre on May 11, with the acclaimed Zachary Stevenson in the starring role. The production is a tribute to the last-call 1959 “Winter Dance Party” featuring Holly and his Crickets, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens.

‘Beginning’ is spring’s defining word

BY HUGO REIMER, Sardis Community Church Contributing columnist IN MANY AND VARIED WAYS, spring is a time of transition

— a time of change, a time of new beginnings.

The evidence is budding and flourishing in every new leaf and in every exquisite and extravagant blossom.

We could rework the phrase “hope springs eternal” to “spring hopes eternal.” As the playoffs are launched we hope this is the beginning of a run right to the Stanley Cup for the Canucks. In just a few weeks we have the freedom to choose a new government, or an old government with a new mandate or an old mandate with a new government, depending on your preference and perspective.

Oh, to be sure, sometimes new beginnings simply mean returning to the old and familiar from which we have strayed. Sometimes a new beginning is looking

back to the familiar tried and true traditions, which become fresh because they have become unfamiliar, a kind of tramping in territory that is vaguely familiar, attractive, and yet drawing us.

We crave new beginnings. Relationships go south and sour, the job becomes tedious, and the everydayness of everyday is like glumly trudging through the ubiquitous wet fields, mud and gunk gumming on with each step. Regrets pile up.

We try to orchestrate a new beginning and a fresh start by changing jobs, partners, geography, or clothes only to meander into the same rut and routines that appear so lifeless and monotonous.

We don’t make things new by changing our circumstances (a short-term solution) but by changing

our attitude, perspective, and our heart. Some of us may wish for new beginnings, pray for and beg for new beginnings. New beginnings begin with our God, who is creator, re-creator, renewer . . . always a God of new beginnings. We all need them. We need them to be restored and rebuilt when life takes its toll.

The first word in the Bible is beginning. It is always God’s first word. I think it is the defining word of this spring season and of the celebration and remembrance of the death and life of Jesus commonly referred to as Easter. New life after death loudly announcing that failure is not the final word. The final word is that God makes things new — in history, in Jesus, in the lives of people.

In one of the writings of the First Testament God asks this question of his people: “See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (see Isaiah 43: 19). During this Easter season I invite and encourage you to ask God (even if you do not believe in God or are not sure if there is a God) to show you the new things God wants to do, and in fact is doing.

- Hugo Reimer is pastor at Sardis Community Church.

The latest featured exhibit at Surrey Museum tracks the history of the so-called “underground railroad” in North America.

It’s a chance to travel back to the I800s to learn about slavery, the secret escape route via railway and the challenges freedom seekers faced if they finally reached the “promised land’ of Canada, where they could live as free citizens.

The text-heavy “Passages to Freedom: Secrets of The Underground Railroad” is a national touring exhibit on view at the museum until May 28.

In the 1850s, before the American Civil War, approximately 40,000 Black refugees entered Canada from the United States, arriving as far east as Nova Scotia and as far west as British Columbia, although the majority crossed into what is now southwestern Ontario.

Surrey Museum is staging Tom ZILLICH an Easter event with a “real” Staff Reporter twist.

The Cloverdale facility’s fifth annual Easter Fair on Saturday afternoon (April 23) is conceived as a fun way to tackle the problem of abandoned pets — especially during holidays.

Along with Easter-related crafts, games and other events, the fair puts focus on 12 local animal-rescue groups that have teamed up with the museum to teach about “the real Easter Bunny” and other animals. Families can meet local wildlife and rescued animals, including rabbits, reptiles, dogs and parrots.

Admission is by donation at the event, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at 17710 56A Ave. Every Easter, adopted rabbits find themselves abandoned or neglected within months, as the novelty wears off and owners realize the long-eared creatures require as much care as other pets.

“Six months later, the drop-off rate at our (shelter) is pretty steady,” said Lisa Hutcheon, a volunteer with Small Animal Rescue Society of B.C. “We tend to see more rabbits coming in once fall starts.”

Hutcheon recommends a chocolate or stuffed bunny is purchased as a gift, not the real thing.

She also encourages parents to research the pet before it’s bought, and also be responsible for the pet, not the child.

“Pets can starve to death is the child is responsible for it,” she said. “We’ve seen it happen.”

The museum’s Easter Fair was launched in 2006 under the direction of programmer Oana Capota, as a way of educating the public about

❚ WHAT’S ON ❚NEW ON DVD/BLU-RAY

More scares, less sorcery

Harry Potter and the Julie CRAWFORD Deathly Hallows Part 1 Now contributor Directed by David Yates. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

My rating: 8 (out of 10) Things get off to an intense start in David Yates’ penultimate Potter film: Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is on the loose and has waged a Nazi-style propaganda campaign against “mudbloods”, Hermione (Emma Watson) is forced to wipe her parents’ memories clean in order to save them, and both Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Ron (Rupert Grint) find themselves exiled to remote (and cinematically beautiful) locales.

Do brush up on your Potter before watching the film; heaven forbid you should forget the importance of the Horcruxes, a key part of Dumbledore’s deathbed edict and the means by which we get to see a naked Harry and Hermione in a PG-sanctioned embrace.

Harry’s fans are growing up, after all.

The deathly hallows are explained, and there are nightmares, visions of he-whoshall-not-be-named thrown in with a little bit of torture, and a death. As the series hurtles to its conclusion, the tone is decid-

There are scads of bonus features on the blu-ray disc including a scene from the much-anticipated final instalment, set for a July 15 release, plus additional scenes.

Country Strong Written and directed by Shana Feste.

Starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw.

My rating: 6 (out of 10) People were so concerned about whether or not actor Gwyneth Paltrow had the pipes GWYNETH PALTROW to sing all of Country Strong’s ballads, that they seemed to be willing to overlook her performance. A fine one it is: as country singer and addict Kelly Canter, Paltrow resists the urge to throw hissy fits and go all crazy-eyed diva, instead giving an authentic performance of a shunned wife, a sad, sad woman. What a shame the story doesn’t have the same heft as Paltrow’s performance. Kelly agrees to be released from rehab a month early by her husband/manager (Tim McGraw) and put back on tour with one proviso: that her “sponsor” at the clinic (Garrett Hedlund), a hunk who can also play a mean guitar, come too. Things get a little messy and a lot melodramatic, even for a film steeped in the most unabashedly melodramatic genre in music.

❚NEW ON DVD/BLU-RAY Tron: Legacy Directed by Joseph Kosinski. Starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde My rating: 4 (out of 10) I knew Disney was in trouble when the two video game addicts in my house declared that they were bored senseless while watching Tron. I thought it was just me: I wasn’t a fan of the original, whose audience was split resolutely down gender lines back in 1982, when you had to leave the house to play video games. I found the sequel a little hard to follow, what with all the chatter about enslaved people in the grid and isomorphic algorithms.

The effects are top-notch and the gladiator-style games offer a trace of a pulse.

But elsewhere, things are lifeless. Sam (Garrett Hedlund) hasn’t seen his father

in 20 years, but then a message comes out of nowhere directing him to an old video arcade, where Sam is transported inside a computer program and meets, his dad (Jeff Bridges). Which Jeff Bridges incarnation is creepier? It’s a toss-up between younger, CG dad, and older dad, which is Bridges playing himself, or the Dude, yet again, complete with lines like “You’re messing with my zen thing, man”. The soundtrack

by Daft Punk is the highest-charting score in over a decade. That’s as impressive as Tron gets.

Blu-ray special features include extras on the cast, music video, plus a “Visualizing Tron” extra on the production design and how director Joseph Kosinski’s architecture background made it all work.

❚ WHAT’S ON ❚AT THE MOVIES/Atlas Shrugged: Part 1

Movie’s right-wing views not visible in Canada – yet ReelView

Atlas Shrugged: Part 1 Directed by Paul Johansson. Starring Taylor Schilling, Grant Bowler and Matthew Marsden.

This is the true story Julie about a book written CRAWFORD more than a half-century ago, and how a small-budget movie and a toilet economy helped propel it back onto the best-seller list.

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957, but part one of the magnum opus movie opened this past week in the U.S., riding on a tidal wave of right-wing conservative support. Thanks to the movie buzz and talk-show chat references (Stephen Colbert, Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart and many others have gone Rand recently), Atlas Shrugged shot to number four on Amazon’s best-seller list.

The timing of the film couldn’t have been better. Released on what is traditionally tax day south of the border, the film paints a portrait of an economy in chaos, with businesses shutting daily, and those still standing being over-regulated

by the government. In the film’s near future of 2016, the destruction of free enterprise and capitalism has exacted a toll on the nation, which has all but ground to a halt. Is it any wonder that Tea Party faithful have latched on to Rand’s book?

Rand has strong ties to Canada.

Canadian Leonard Peikoff is Rand’s legal heir: he founded The Ayn Rand Institute, which promotes her theory of objectivism, provides copies of her novels to Canadian high schools and hands out more than $80,000 for essay contests.

But as of this week, no Canadian release dates of the film had been set.

So what gives? While Hollywood really likes money — and lots of it — no big studio was ready to embrace a film that openly celebrates capitalism, without the Gordon Gekko morality angle to temper things. Distributor Rocky Mountain Pictures opened the film on 299 U.S. screens, but can’t be heartened by the $1.6 million opening weekend figure when compared to the reported $10 million production cost.

Then there’s the complexity of Rand’s story. Part one is a dry-as-dust set up

Taylor Schilling and Matthew Marsden star in Atlas Shrugged: Part 1. for the next two instalments, should they make it to screen. The heroine of the book and the film is Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling), both the brains and the beauty behind Taggart Transcontinental, whose railways are the last viable mode of transport now that gas has reached $37.50 per gallon. She battles with her brother (Matthew Marsden) and his Washington cronies, and finds a kindred spirit in Henry Rearden (Aussie Grant

Bowler, a staple on HBO’s True Blood) who shares her passion for profit and her contempt for people with “stupid altruistic urges”.

It’s not first-date material – unless you find the concept of mixed capitalism vs. pure capitalism and economic efficiency sexy.

Meanwhile, society’s most innovative and influential citizens are disappearing, leaving behind a calling card: “Who is John Galt?”

The phrase has become a sort of secret code, identifying members of the taxaverse faithful. You can read all about Ayn Rand on survivalist chatboards, right under ads that read “how to accessorize your shotgun”. As one contributor wrote: “The bible first, Atlas Shrugged second” — this despite the fact that Rand rejected religion in all forms.

The official movie website urges you to spread the gospel, and there’s strong interest a-brewin’ north of the border. So Canada, if you’re really, really mad at the government, exercise your right to the “virtue of selfishness” and demand that Atlas Shrugged come to your town; your local billionaires will thank you.

❚ WHAT’S ON

Hello, fabulous dancers; so long, SYO’s Lucille Lewis ArtsScene

April is really all about dance, it seems. Dancing With the Stars is attracting huge television audiences, and The Black Swan DVD is selling really well. We are fascinated with dance, and watching Melanie MINTY others dance — all well and good, but watching is not as good as doing.

Dance training can be intense physical training and a form of social recreation — good for your brain and body. Of course, you have to be careful with the intensity of training, and most recreational dancers do not develop the problems that Natalie Portman’s character did. Oh, but then, of course, Natalie did not do most of her own dancing. That was American Ballet Theatre’s Sarah Lang; it does take long years of training to become a decent professional ballerina.

But that is not the story here. Locally, Surrey Festival of Dance is attracting about 9,500 dancers to their competition this month. All ages, from preschool to seriously senior citizens, compete for prizes — or maybe just for the fun of being on stage and dancing for an audience. What each person takes away from this competition (or any of the many others circulating around town this

month) is as individual as the style of dance and the dancer.

For myself, I love the interaction with other people my age who are dancing for the sheer love of it. Trust me, at my age it absolutely has to be for love because no one is going to pay us to perform. What I hate are the negative comments. This happens in every competition, whether in Dancing With the Stars or Surrey Festival of Dance.

We are nothing if not passionate about our dancing. I just really want to celebrate dance and all dancers at all levels, and give a bit of acknowledgement to Surrey Festival of Dance for providing a platform and stage.

For dance addicts, I saw on Twitter that Surrey’s Alex Wong has his cast off. He’s the super dancer that was just acing So You Think You Can Dance last season until he had a very bad injury. It happens. Hope we see him dancing again soon.

And no, I don’t Tweet, and my Facebook account is seriously unhappy. I use my recreational time tapping rather than playing on social media. But I do have a lot of friends that keep me up to date. Just sayin’.

If you still prefer to watch dance on film rather than actually do it actively, XBa DanceCo has a red carpet “edgy formal” event coming up Sunday, May 8 at White Rock’s Coast Capital Playhouse. The event is an inaugural Dance Film Festival pre-

senting new and original dance films in an emcee’d formal event — 7 p.m. red carpet celebrity walk and reception with an 8 p.m. film festival start. Tickets are $20 via 604220-9679. The presentation includes 14 original, short dance films created by XBa DanceCo dancers. Heck, I have to be there just for the “edgy formal” attire. Maybe I’ll be invited to walk on the celebrity red carpet. Or maybe not. It is all about dance, life and loving what you do — even if it is just a recreational pastime. ❚ Lucille Lewis, who has been a major influence in making music in our community since 1976, is retiring this year from her post as conductor of Surrey Youth Orchestra.

Lewis was the founding president of Surrey Symphony Society in LUCILLE LEWIS 1976, and has conducted its youth orchestra (SYO) since 1982. At a special concert also celebrating the society’s 35th anniversary (Saturday, May 14 at Bell Performing Arts Centre), the society will hold a reception to honour her contribution to youth in music in the Lower Mainland. Her contribution cannot be understated; she deserves her

Balance your mortgage and your life.

own walk of fame, a golden star, a key to the city — or whatever honours the city of Surrey can bestow.

When SYO was formed, there were relatively few arts organizations in Surrey, although Vancouver’s youth symphony had been operating for almost 40 years (since 1938). Times have changed a lot since then; Surrey’s youth orchestras have been part of the phenomenal cultural growth that meant the city could be designated a Cultural Capital of Canada in 2008. From just 17 members in the first youth orchestra, the organization now has 125 young players in three different award-winning orchestras (Junior Strings, Intermediate Strings and Surrey Youth Orchestra).

I have known Lucille for many years and, at one time, was privileged to serve on the board of directors. She is one amazing person, and I hate to see her retire. She says it’s not about the music, but “also about the camaraderie and developing friendships among others who have the same interests.”

Orchestra alumni are encouraged to get in touch with the society to help mark Lewis’ contributions. Contact general manager Anna Russell if you have any stories you’d like to share (email inquiries@ surreyyouthorchestra.org). Everyone else can attend the concert in May. melminty@telus.net

Students, go green for Mother Earth (here’s how) From planting organic vegetable gardens in the playground to campaigning

for litter-less lunches in the cafeteria, young students across Canada are embrac-

ing the crusade to protect Mother Earth.

Waste reduction in schools

is an important part of creating a greener community, and many children and

teachers are implementing creative initiatives to reduce their school’s carbon foot-

,'(%$ )'"+-$ $*- .!!-" #(-& Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers.

Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them.

Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.

print. Charities, like TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF), are helping to support these projects.

“Spring is about new beginnings, so why not reduce your impact by organizing a ‘walking school bus’ in your neighbourhood or encourag ing your children to decorate old school folders instead of buying new ones,” says Mary Desjardins, executive director of TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

TD FEF has compiled its top tips on how kids can reduce, reuse and recycle at school this spring: ❚ Walk, ride your bike or take the bus to school. ❚ Carpool to sports games and other activities. ❚ Reuse old school supplies and buy recycled paper, notebooks and folders. ❚ Use a lunch box instead of paper bags, reusable water bottles and avoid prepackaged snacks. ❚ Ask your child’s teacher if they could email homework and notes home instead of wasting paper. ❚ Encourage your children to join or start an environmental club at school ❚ Ask your child to turn off their computer and monitor when they finish their homework ❚ Use TD FEF’s One Minute Carbon Calculator to teach your kids about their environmental footprint In the last 20 years, TD FEF has provided funding for nearly 4,000 environment and wildlife initiatives carried out by schools across Canada.

At Surrey schools, students aim to keep things green Lord Tweedsmuir Green Team We worked as a team to increase the environmental responsibility of our whole school and community. By making videos and power points which we presented to classes, staff meeting and to our Monday morning school video magazine, we reached out to educate everyone on the need to conserve and green the planet. We practiced conservation by weekly park cleaning and initiatives.

We ran a whole-school gallery competition and a Green Week advertised in school and in the community. We used the BC Hydro project and the High School Climate challenge to involve as many students as possible. Our main focus has been to educate our school and community on the issues of climate change. The environment club at Lord Tweedsmuir is involved with a number of initiatives to green our school and community.

We pulled a number of projects together and organized our first whole school green week, as follows: Monday: As part of a BC Hydro initiative, we ran a poster competition to encourage staff, students and the community to turn off lights and appliances. The winning poster was highly acclaimed. It is designed to go around a light switch reminding everyone to turn off lights and was made with Photoshop.

Tuesday: Take the tap water pledge, whole school video reportage and Facebook page promoting the use of reusable water bottles. We have printed 1500 water bottles with the Me to We logo to also raise funds for water and sanitation projects in Africa. We also held a Vow of Silence and Awakethon and have already given $1,500 to Me to We this year.

We are looking for sponsors to carry this work further.

Wednesday: Walk to school Wednesday; used the school sign to promote walking instead of driving to school.

Thursday: Garbage Free Day and focus on keeping the park, Greenaway, next to our school clean. Also green initiatives gallery walk in the library and scavenger hunt.

Friday: Plant a Tree. More than 100 trees were planted in our community. Students went to every class to teach that planting more trees is the best way to control our planet’s temperature and provide more oxygen.

The High School Climate Challenge team has involved 110 Physics 11 students this year in coming up with creative solutions in improving climate change. Four winning projects were chosen at an environmental, in-school, fair. One project proposing the use of LED lighting was presented to the Surrey superintendents and facilities departments. Others included energy saving in lighting and heating.

As part of the BC Hydro conserving power project our active leadership group has done presentations to Grade 8s and an elementary assembly on the need for conservation of energy and playing environmental Jeopardy to get our message heard. We hope to make changes in our school’s use of energy and to help bring clean water to the children in Africa in Me to We schools.

Members of Princess Margaret Secondary’s Environmental Club pose for a photo.

Princess Margaret Environmental Club Princess Margaret Environmental Club is a high school association of students striving to build an environment friendly school community. The club members try to raise awareness of environmental issues around the school. These members include students of all ages ranging from Grade 8 to Grade 12. While the senior students collectively organize every club event, they also try to be good mentors to their juniors.

Presently, the club participates in the two weekly environmental activities. The first is paper recycling, which has a group of club members collect recyclable material from classrooms every week and ensure the paper ends

up in the recycling bins, rather than the garbage bins.

Club members also take responsibility for cleaning Princess Margaret Park every week, thus ensuring that the area remains beautiful and clean. Apart from this, the club members have also planted many trees and tulip bulbs in the vicinity to help beautify the school.

In the past five or six years, the club has also taken the lead in organizing Earth Day Events in the school to educate students, staff and parents about the issue of global warming.

Global Issues Club at Sullivan Heights The Global Issues Club at Sullivan Heights Secondary is proud to participate in their fifth annual environment week. The environment week takes place to honour Earth Day and has been generously supported by sponsor teachers Randy Jaggernathsingh, Sarah Garr, Sandra Stevens, and Brigitte Bourassa.

This year, events include Green Day, Trash-free Tuesday, Walk to School Wednesday, Litterless Lunch Thursday and the lights-out challenge. This week starts off with Green Day, where the Sullivan Heights student body will come to school dressed in green to spread awareness about environmental issues. The next day is Trash Free Tuesday and students will come together at lunch to participate in a street clean-up. On Walk to School

Wednesday, students are encouraged to give their cars a break and either walk or bike to and from school. On Thursday the Global Issues Club will be giving out free ice cream to students who bring their lunch to school in reusable containers. The Lights-out Challenge is also to be held on Thursday where classrooms which have turned out at least one set of lights will be put in a draw to win a tub of candy for their class.

Every day during environment week, an environmental tip is also announced to encourage students to be more environmentally friendly. Sullivan Heights also takes part in a Trash Free Thursday every week as an initiative for students to recycle in the school.

Enver Creek’s Green Team Enver Creek Secondary’s Green Team has definitely brought out much more environmental awareness to the students and staff of 2011, and continue to do so.

Green Team is an interactive educational group that empowers students to help the environment through waste reduction, the reuse of items, and recycling unwanted materials. Green Team’s purpose is to promote awareness and to get the school involved in keeping our environment stable. Each year, a new group of students as well as earlier members get together to plan and conduct new projects to benefit the school’s environment. They continue to modify and develop new concepts to projects, weekly jobs, and ideas for the future.

One of the major projects that Green Team has accomplished and conducted was thanks to the help of the High School Climate Action Team getting involved. With their participation, Green Team has succeeded in producing an event called Eco - Friendly Spirit week which took place in February. This event has succeeded to bringing out much more environmental awareness to the entire school. The week consisted of small events such as Lights out day, Chilly Tuesday, Walk to school Wednesday, and Wear Green Day. Prizes were also given out to those who have participated in the events.

Now, students and staff frequently take note of simple reminders such as turning off the lights when leaving a room, or throwing away recyclable materials into the recycling bin. Some people do tend to forget, but that is what Green Team is for!

Green Team has conducted an Electronics Drive that would continue on as a long term goal, and a T-Shirt Logo Contest for artistic students who would be creating Green Team’s new symbol. Tree planting has been a previous project that would be thought through continuously as an improvement and advantage for the school. Green Team has also set up a traffic committee to specifically target the problem of idling, gathering transportation audits, and encouraging more to walk to school.

Some projects that have been discussed for the future include composting, improving the school’s bike racks, and holding a bike relay or workshop. Green Team continues to plan long term and short term goals that would involve the school to take action as well.

As a team, each individual’s opinion and participation is greatly valued.

With everyone’s help, we are able to form new events and ideas. At Enver Creek, students are highly encouraged to get involved with school activities. Green Team is a fun, active group that allows others to share and work on our main purpose; to help the environment!

Green Team continues to stay active with frequent meetings. With a monthly schedule, Green Team sets out to do regular jobs such as paper recycling and street clean-ups.

With this, members who are not entirely involved still come out to help with these minor jobs.

With the help of teachers, Green Team is able to get the job done. Green Team’s sponsor teacher, Ms. Kurceba, has been there for Green Team as support and guide. Although they play a major role to administration and confirmation, Green Team members depend on each other, and themselves to be able to achieve their goals. They are committed and dedicated students willing to put their own time in helping with the cause in order to learn and accomplish.

Up for grabs: Grants for play areas made of old tires Tom Zytaruk

042211

Staff reporter

SURREY — Tired of bad news?

Here’s a swell bit of recycling that runs full circle.

A non-profit outfit based out of Victoria called Tire Stewardship BC is scoping out Surrey to bestow grants to help build public playing fields and playgrounds out of recycled tire rubber.

Its executive director, Mike Hennessy, says his organization will match funds up to $20,000 to successful applicants through its community grants program.

The closing date for this year’s applications is April 29. See www.tsbc.ca for instructions.

The Robson Park playground in Whalley, through the City of Surrey, was a recipient last year.

Other Surrey projects that have benefited include ones in Guildford, Bear Creek Park, Redwood Park and Bayridge elementary school.

Established in 1991, the project has seen more than 50,000 tires recycled in B.C. They are ground into crumb rubber and used to make playground surfaces, running tracks,

synthetic turf sports fields and some landscaping features.

To be successful, applicants’ projects must be accessible to the public and wheelchairfriendly.

Hennessy says eco-fees charged on the sale of all new tires in B.C. are used to make sure used tires are collected and recycled. About 80 per cent of all the tires in this province are eventually processed at Western Rubber Products on Annacis Island in Delta, and the other 20 per cent is done at the Lehigh Cement kiln on Tilbury Island.

The program ensures that the rubber stays in B.C., greenhouse gases are reduced and jobs are maintained, Hennessy said. “It’s all good as far as we can figure.”

Last year, about $250,000 in grants was handed out. “We expect to see that doubled this year,” Hennessy expects.

Advertorial

It’s Spring Cleaning Time: Don’t Know What to Do With Your Old Electronics? Recycle Them!

You may not be as organized as Martha Stewart (she has a three-page checklist), but if you’re like most of us, spring cleaning is a ritual not to be missed. It’s the one time a year we get really ruthless about cleaning up the dust and clearing out the clutter – except for our old electronics that is.

Our old TVs, computers, monitors, printers and fax machines tend to sit in our attics, basements and spare rooms year after year, either because we think we may need to use them again or because we don’t know where to get rid of them.

Well, if you haven’t used an electronic device in more than a year, you probably won’t use it again – ever. And if it’s still plugged in, it might even be costing you money just leaving it where it is.

Virtually all electronic devices – TVs, computers, printers, modems, DVD players, cell phone chargers and anything else with a clock, timer, adapter, memory or remote control – continue to draw power even when they’re not in use. “The extra TV you may have in your basement rec room for the kids, who never watch it, is actually costing you money every day,” says BC Hydro’s Kari Reid, Program Manager in Residential Marketing. “As long as that TV is plugged in, it’s using energy, whether it’s turned on or not. And that will add up on your electricity bills.”

So this spring, why not make it a clean sweep?

Get rid of all your old unused or broken electronics quickly and easily, but not in your local landfill.

“TVs, like computers and other electronics, have components that should be recycled,” says Kari. “The best thing is to take your unused

electronics to a Return-It™ Electronics recycling depot, where they will get broken down safely and properly.”

The Return-It™ Electronics recycling program is managed by Encorp Pacific (Canada) on behalf of the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia. The ESABC established the program in 2007 (in addition to its Return-It™ Beverage and Milk Container recycling programs) to respond to the fast-growing issue of e-waste.

✔ Plug all your related electronics, like your computer, modem, monitor and printer, into a single power bar, then switch them all off at once when you’re not using them. ✔ Switch to a laptop. A typical laptop computer uses 53 kwh/year compared to a typical desktop and monitor that uses 215 kwh/yr. ✔ Unplug your cell phone and other chargers as soon as the battery is topped up. ✔ If you’re in the market for a new TV, look for one with the ENERGY STAR® label – it will use as much as 30 per cent less energy than a less-efficient model. Also remember that bigger is not always better: generally, the larger the TV, the more energy it uses. Make sure your new TV is the right size for your room by dividing the distance between where you’ll be sitting and the front of the screen by 2.5.

“New and better products keep coming on the market all the time,” says Kari, “and we’re snapping them up. Who doesn’t want a sleek new flat-screen TV? But some people are just throwing their out-dated electronics in the trash, or simply putting them in a drawer or a closet because they don’t know what else to do with them. Some people, too, are just moving them to another room where they stay plugged in but unused, which is just wasting energy. We want to see unused electronics unplugged, then disposed of properly.”

Once you’ve done that, says Kari, there are a number of other things you can do to reduce your energy use. For example:

“Remember, too, that it can take more electricity per year to keep your DVD player in standby mode than it actually uses playing DVDs,” says Kari. “Unplug it or turn it off at a power bar and you’ll save energy. And as I said before, get rid of your unused TV! If just one in 3 households in British Columbia recycled one unused television, it would save enough energy to provide all of Revelstoke with electricity for a year.”

BC recycles an astounding 80% of its beverage containers Encorp Pacific (Canada) believes we can still do better Environmental

Mayor’s HASTE-y walk at Hazelgrove Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts strolled with students, parents and teachers of Hazelgrove Elementary on Wednesday during a Walk and Roll to School Challenge organized by a group called HASTE (Hub for Action on School Transportation Emissions). The Earth Day-related event saw close to 70 per cent of the more than 700 students walk to the Cloverdale-area school. “We are pleased to see that the number of cars in the parking lot was greatly reduced,” said Christine Shepherd, viceprincipal at the school. “It is wonderful to see the children and their families making a conscious decision to take care of themselves and the environment by walking to school.” Surrey’s Walk and Roll to School Challenge, in its ninth year, is part of the city’s Environmental Extravaganza and continues until Clean Air Day on June 8. The school with the most activity to support walking and rolling to school will receive the Mayor’s Golden Shoe Trophy. To get involved, click on www.hastebc.org/surrey.

There are more than 175 independently owned and operated Return-It™ Depots and mobile collectors across BC. This system recovers and recycles approximately 80% of the beverage containers sold in the province.

That’s over one billion containers kept out of our landfills. But, there’s always room for improvement. To continuously increase the recovery of containers, Encorp develops specialty programs.

Bear-proof bins keep BC Parks clean Encorp has been busy keeping our parks free of littered containers. In the summer of 2009, they tested 57 bear-proof beverage recycling bins in three BC Parks: Rathtrevor Beach, Goldstream and Alice Lake. In 2010, Cultus Lake Park received bins as well.

The parks receive the deposit refunds and most are given to their favourite charities. So far 235,800 containers have been collected, refunding over $16,000 back to BC Parks.

Another way Encorp reaches kids is through its school tour and presentation. Last year, the Return-It Man team gave 33 presentations to nearly 6,000 elementary school students. The fun and entertaining presentations feature interactive sorting games, full audience participation and a “Recyclator” that shows kids what recycled containers turn into in their next life. Plus every kid gets to learn what it takes to become a recycling hero.

More containers recycled, less in our landfills The BC Parks and school programs arejustsomeofthetargetedinitiatives Encorp has in the works. It’s all part of their vision to divert even more containers from our landfills so they can be recycled into useful products.

Encorp Pacific aims to improve BC’s already high recovery rate for beverage containers. As one of BC’s largest Product Stewardship Corporation, Encorp’s mandate is to develop and manage a consumer friendly and cost effective system to recover end-of-life consumer products and packaging for recycling.

You probably know them best through the Return-It™ Depot system.

Their School Recycling Program helps elementary and high schools raise money, while promoting environmental action. Now in its ninth year, the school program continues to grow. In the 2010 school year, Encorp beverage container bins were in 365 schools across BC. That means 151,000 students participated in the annual competition to collect the most containers. The schools raised over $291,000 in deposit refunds and the winning schools shared $13,500 in prizes.

SURREY — Riding bikes, skateboards, scooters and roller skates, students at Woodwood Hill elementary school made laps around the parking lot to celebrate Earth Day. The bike rally held on Thursday capped off a week of walking and rolling to school.

With its sleek lines and long frame that mimic the Harley design, student Michael Meldrum’s bike was an eye catcher among the scores of cycles on the makeshift track.

Judging by the smile on his face, the nine-year-old lad was clearly pleased with the admiring glances his bike drew.

“I think it’s really fun because I get to ride my bike,” he said of the rally as he sped by with the pack.

Principal Anne Mackie said she’s pleased that her students were so keen to adopt alternate forms of transportation to help reduce pollution and preserve the planet.

“All week the kids were encouraged to walk or roll to school which they have been doing,” said Mackie, noting that her school encourages “Walking Wednesday” all year round.

Parents also got into the spirit. Many of them, who give their kids rides to school,

parked further away from the school grounds and walked their children to the door.

The bike rally at Woodward Hill elementary was just one of many events held in Surrey schools this week to observe Earth Day, which was launched in the United States in 1970 and has since become an annual environmental celebration around the world on April 22.

In Canada, Earth Day has grown into Earth Week to accommodate the profusion of events and projects.

Other schools that participated in the City of Surrey’s Walk and Roll to School Challenge include Kennedy Trail, Sullivan, Harold Bishop, Georges Vanier, George Greenaway, Serpentine Heights, Chantrell Creek, Westerman, Frost Road and K.B. Woodward elementaries.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was expected to join students of Hazelgrove elementary during their walk to school on Wednesday.

On Thursday, students in Fraser Heights joined forces for their event, “Walk for Water.”

Students from Fraser Heights secondary and kids from Dogwood, Boswell and Fraser Wood elementary schools, about 2,000 students in total, came together for the six-kilometre, two-hour walk. mbabic@thenownewspaper.com

❚B.C. PREMIER LEAGUE

Soggy spring dampens baseball fever

The soggy Michael BOOTH spring continues Sports Editor to drown out the early stages of the B.C. Premier Baseball League season.

Three weeks into the 2011 campaign, the three local teams — North Delta Blue Jays, Fraser Valley Chiefs and White Rock Tritons — have already combined to miss nine games due to bad weather. Those games will be played later in the season, creating the prospect of teams cramming a slew of games into the final month of the schedule.

“The weather has been horrible,” said Tritons’ coach Russ Smithson.

“We thought we were pretty prepared coming into the season. We worked out at the Richmond oval

and then went down to Arizona for eight days but when we returned home, we sat around for two weeks and only got two practices in because of the rain. I think we might do the same as the Chiefs next year and go down south a little bit later.”

Smithson was referring to Fraser Valley’s recent excursion to Las Vegas for a week of extended spring training. The Chiefs had their home opener rained out on April 10 before hopping a plane south for a scheduled week in the desert sunshine.

“We knew the weather back here was (poor), so we really lucked out with this trip,” said Chiefs general manager Paul Hargreaves. “We knew we were getting quality time

when we were down there. It was 90 degrees (F) every day and we got a lot of work in.

“We saw a lot of good things from our team there. Kids got opportunities to play — and play in different positions — that they might not have gotten in league games.

We experimented to see what guys could do in certain positions or in certain situations. Our pitching was super but we just didn’t hit the ball when we needed to hit the ball.

Clutch hitting let us down a little bit.”

The Chiefs played four games against American high school teams on the trip, dropping three before winning their final outing.

They then returned home in time to be rained out against North Delta

Tuesday night.

Fraser Valley finally played their first game of the season Wednesday where they beat the Vancouver Cannons 8-6 in Whalley.

Last weekend the Tritons managed to host a pair of doubleheaders against the Okanagan Athletics at South Surrey Athletic Park.

On Saturday, the Tritons dropped the first game 3-1 before coming back to win the second 1-0.

Sunday brought more of the same as White Rock picked up a 5-1 win only to lose the afternoon rematch 2-0.

“They were all pitcher’s duels,” Smithson said. “Our hitters didn’t hit very well and the pitchers

Phil Reimer’s

golf report

❚BOXING

Two titles for Port Kells

Have you heard of it? It’s called PowerPlay Golf.

The creators hope it catches on and will become a part of our golf landscape in the years to come.

Golf of late has had trouble growing the sport. In many cases, especially in the U.S., too many courses are chasing too few golfers. Ask friends why they don’t golf and you mostly hear that it takes too much time and is too costly.

So along comes PowerPlay—with its 9-hole course. It’s affordable, requires less time and has an interesting format.

I won’t go into all the details – you can find those at powerplay-golf.com.

Basically, you have nine holes but it allows you to play a competitive fun format with two flags on every green.

You can decide to go for the harder black flag, creating risk-reward decisions on each tee. Golfers use a limited number of power plays to score points when aiming at the harder black flags.

While it sounds good on the surface, the truth is you have to have some of the big names in golf interested in order to get the rank and file (us) interested. It appears they have done that.

Four boxers from the Port Kells Boxing Club showed off their skills in the novice division of the 2011 B.C. Golden Gloves tournament in Richmond last weekend.

Fighting Victoria’s Lee Milliken at 178-pounds, Julian Kim prevailed in his Golden Gloves debut, earning a decision from the judges.

In the 152-lbs weight class, Jatinder Dhaliwal of Port Kells outboxed Garnet Samuel of Contenders Gym in Vancouver for the win.

Narinder Akali of Port Kells took on Andrii Zheborovskyi from Queensborough in a matchup of 165-lbs fighters. Akali boxed well before suffering a bad cut from an accidental elbow from Zheborovskyi, who was awarded the win.

Jillian Sask was the fourth Port Kells boxer, but no other boxers were entered in her weight class and she was left watching from the stands.

Lip service Elgin Park’s Matt Dorion watches as his putt attempt for par lips out on the 9th hole during second round action of the Delta Police high school golf tournament at Northview G&CC Tuesday.

Dorion recovered to finish second overall, seven strokes back of Earl Marriott’s Adam Svensson. Earl Marriott also won the team title, beating out runner-up Brookswood. ❚PHOTO/Surrey Now

Colin Montgomerie and Paul Casey have announced plans for the PowerPlay rollout, which includes three televised events to be broadcast worldwide this year.

Gary Player will headline the 12-player field competing at Celtic Manor Resort in Wales on Monday, May 30. Along with Casey, reigning U.S. Open champions Graeme McDowell and Paula Creamer, Ian Poulter, and major championship winners along with John Daly, Ian Woosnam and Helen Alfredsson. That’s a pretty impressive cast—and when you get a car company like Saab wanting to back it, you know it has legs to stand on.

Hopefully, some golfing entrepreneur in the Lower Mainland or the Fraser Valley will have some interest in putting up this type of course. Wherever it’s built it has to be located close to the people as part of a community’s recreation opportunities — don’t make it too difficult to find. I wonder if Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has a chunk of city land just waiting for something like this. **** You might remember that a Twitter campaign was underway to get Tiger Woods to come to Vancouver to play in the 2011 RBC Canadian Open at Shaughnessy Golf Club in July, right after the British Open. Well I have some good news and bad news. First the bad news: Tiger is not coming.

The good news comes from Brad Zeimer of the Vancouver Sun, who is really a golf writer moonlighting as a hockey reporter. He says we have two major winners coming to our Championship.

Susan Swart who is the younger sister of Nel-Mare who is married to Louis Oosthuizen, The Open (British) winner, told Zeimer that both he and Charl Schwartzel, the new Masters winner, are coming to the Canadian Open in July.

Following the British Open is a tough date for the Canadian Open but this is going to create a great lift for the tournament and may encourage others to “follow the leaders” to Vancouver.

❚ SPORTS ❚HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Holy Cross guard earns invite A Holy Cross basketball player will be in Toronto this weekend for a national age group assessment camp run by Canada Basketball.

Michelle Bos, a guard on the Crusaders’ varsity team, is one of 18 players invited to attend the sessions for prospective members of the Cadette Women’s National Team at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. The Junior Women’s National Team program will hold a similar camp at the same time.

The camps will feature a national-level training environment which includes on and off-court sessions and assessment by

national coaches.

Both age group national teams will be competing in FIBA sanctioned championship tournaments this summer.

The cadette team will be attending the FIBA Americas Under-16 Championship for women in Mexico from June 1318. The Cadette eligible invitees mostly consists of provincial all-stars including members from the British Columbia provincial team that won gold at the under-17 national championship.

The junior women’s team will compete at the FIBA Under-19 World Championship for women in Chile in July.

❚B.C. PREMIER BASEBALL

Tritons face Blue Jays, Chiefs dominated both teams in all four games.

We gave up six runs in four games and only won two so that’s pretty disappointing. I thought we had a good chance to win all four games but nobody was hitting. The other (Okanagan) coach and I were joking that the first team to get four hits was going to win.”

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays settled for a split of a Sunday twin bill on the road against the North Shore Twins. North Delta won the first game 9-6 and scored first in Game 2 before falling 7-2.

“We should have won both games,” said Blue Jays general manager Bob Burkmar.

“We started off really strong and won he

first game but then the bats stopped. We made a couple of errors and it seemed that in each inning they got something. We had opportunities where one hit would have opened things up but we just couldn’t get the hits when we needed them.”

Burkmar singled out Jeff Bouchard and Steve Van vooght for their efforts in the doubleheader.

All three teams are in action this weekend. North Delta hosts White Rock in a doubleheader Saturday beginning at noon at Mackie Park.

The Chiefs play two road games against Vancouver in New West Saturday before returning to Whalley where they host a doubleheader against the Tritons Sunday beginning at noon.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your future looks bright!

Optimism, new hopes, friends, wishes, entertainment and light romance come waltzing in. You’ll enjoy the weeks ahead – even more so because your position in the world is on the rise, your ambitions meet luck.

Recent warnings about not starting anything new are now over. Sunday to Tuesday feature changes, big finances, commitments, sexual urges, lifestyle changes and health diagnosis, all productively. A partner or competitor isn’t thrilled with you, though, so proceed cautiously – all week. Gentle love might point to the right mate for you midweek!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis for the next few weeks will be on ambition, prestige relationships, your status in the world. All looks fairly smooth here, no big highs nor deep lows. Meanwhile, your expansion (usually lucky) in love, legal, intellectual, international and cultural zones continues, especially Friday/Saturday – but work or health demands, or your caution, can interfere. Recent delays end, so charge ahead with new ideas, relationships and projects, especially Sunday to Tuesday, when exciting meetings and prospects arise!

Research, financial and sexual commitments are favoured midweek.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A mellow, understanding vibe fills the weeks ahead. This promotes gentle love, far travel, intellectual pursuits, legal and cultural affairs, education and publishing. Recent delays dissolve; you no longer need to avoid new projects.

Tackle chores Sunday to Tuesday – everything runs smoothly. One caution: the first half of this week might cause a barrier in income zones, or a conflict between sexual desire and ethics. This continues more softly, “workably” the last half. You face different relationships now to 2025, in love, business, with the public – think “enchanted.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Delays end. You can charge ahead on new fronts. You’ve already entered a brand new world – it is sleek, clear, alive, even nervous, and within this new world, friends, ideas, inventiveness and fun are more important than money.

You’re going to have fun Sunday to Tuesday – and for eight years! Your freedom is growing. The shy, quiet, dreamy and elusive friends of the past decade fall away, to be replaced by bright, sharp-minded types.

This week, this “peeling off” causes a relationship disappointment. For the month ahead, chase money, seek higher earnings, cultivate new clients.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise strongly! The delays of April have ended. Start new projects, see and be seen, tackle chores that previously intimidated you.

Despite this surge of energy, one part of you remains contemplative, and is tied in to private matters, quiet planning sessions, government liaisons, etc. Your real “break out” will come in June, when a year of huge luck will commence! Meanwhile, be ambitious Sunday/Monday – luck is with you. Watch legal, ethical factors all week. Change is needed here.

Happiness midweek! Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Recent delays end, but indecision continues unless you make choices based on gentle love, foreign travel/contacts, culture and intellectual pursuits, which all draw you nicely Sunday to Tuesday. The weeks ahead emphasize rest, contemplation, solitude. Retreat, plan, prepare and fulfil obligations. Contact government agencies, institutions, charitable organizations. Your spiritual side grows – and might become, June onward, a significant relationship factor. If your hopes about a special person are disappointed, alter love goals. Be ambitious Wednesday. “Half happiness” late week.

REAL ESTATE

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of mystery, depths, investment, financial manoeuvres, intimacy, commitment, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and detective work lies ahead. Your life might change.

You’re in a powerful and unpredictable relationship trend. So far (early 2011) this might have been more talk than action, but this week and May could cement you in the age-old way. Don’t expect smooth sailing for eight years – but do expect excitement! Whatever occurs this month could “return” in a hugely lucky way June 2011-June 2012. Romance, Sunday-Tuesday.

But you must change! “Security” sabotages.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead emphasize relationships and opportunities. Be diplomatic, eager and willing. Don’t stubbornly cling to an outmoded position, especially at work or in health areas. Recent delays and indecisiveness end – charge ahead, especially on work and machinery fronts. A co-worker might oppose you, although the opposition’s subtle, might exist “between the lines” in a conversation or email, etc. You’ll win such a struggle, but might lose a friend: i.e., win the battle, lose the war. Be forgiving! Home, rest are both sweet Sunday to Tuesday. Romance, beauty call midweek.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re in the midst of a lucky, pleasure-filled, scholastic, romantic, creative surge! (January to June.) But the four weeks ahead emphasize work, health, machinery, duties and dependents. Ah, well – it will run smoothly, anyway.

(Except, perhaps, for a wee struggle around midweek when life dictates that you must choose between love and money – with money exercising the most influence. This, of course, steers you back toward work.) Recent delays and indecision pass now. Travel, errands and paperwork fill SundayTuesday. Home, midweek. Romance late week – sober, then strong!

Marina Williams • 604-787-1184 Re/Max Colonial Pacific

Apr. 24 - April 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Recent delays end.

Charge forward with new ventures, relationships and situations. The weeks ahead emphasize romance, speculation, risks, good luck, children, beauty, creativity, pleasure and sports – you’ll ride a winning streak! You face a choice now: on one side are your ambition, your natural personality; on the other lies love. If the love is in your home, you become protective, nurturing. If the love is “outside,” you might unconsciously press it, to end it. Chase money Sunday-Tuesday. Casual friends, talk, travel midweek.

Home, security Friday/Saturday – buy it!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accent security, domesticity, rest (hibernation) gardening, nutrition, soul, stomach, Mother Nature.

Look over your retirement fund/plans, protect your children and their future, repair the house, etc. And settle back every once in a while to observe what you’re doing – present interests and inclinations hold a clue to where the riches lie in a very lucky period on the horizon – June 2011 to June 2012. That time might bring a new, better home, the end of an oppressive situation, a child, good things! Your energy and charisma rise nicely Sunday to Tuesday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Delays end – so do mistakes, and wrong-headed money decisions.

If needed, correct, alter course now. If you need a guide, look at your long-term future, envision it, where you want to be, and reconsider, alter money directions to suit that future. This works best midweek. The Thursday-Saturday period emphasizes a slightly different money trend: your earnings versus your net worth, debts, ability to “grow.” (E.g., do I work for wages or start a business?) You might start something that will grow big in money areas! Retreat early week. Your energy, charisma soar midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Get your car ready for spring After months of battling ice, snow, and slush, it’s likely that your vehicle is in desperate need of revitalization.

Get your ride ready for spring with these top tips: ❚ Wash up: Spray salt and dirt out of wheel wells, underbody, and underneath bumpers. ❚ Touch up: Remove medium to light scratches without visiting the body shop using 3M’s Scratch Removal System. Pick one up from Canadian Tire. ❚ No pressure: Be sure to check tire pressure, since this can affect wear and tear and maximize gas mileage. Remove winter tires if you have them. ❚ Keep it cool: It hasn’t been used in months, so check your vehicle’s air conditioning and cooling system. ❚ Well oiled machine: Change the oil and check all fluids. Your engine works harder in cold weather, which depletes fluids easily.

Seasonal maintenance on your vehicle will keep it running smoothly and looking good. Isn’t that what every driver wants? M ore information is available at www.3MCarCare.com. www.newscanada.com

❚ Autolite platinum plugs are designed to reduce gap erosion, decrease engine misfires and have increased durability over the standard copper core plug. ❚ Autolite double platinum plugs virtually eliminate gap erosion, also reduce misfires and provide up to 160,000 km of durability. ❚ Autolite XP Xtreme Performance iridium enhanced spark plugs have a more focused ignition for better overall ignitability over standard, copper core plugs and optimum performance.

“We understand that money is tight these days, but if drivers delay basic auto maintenance it’s going to end up costing them more down the road. That’s why we’ve created three top-of-the-line spark plugs that are designed to provide optimum performance, and we guarantee it,” said Megan Currie for Honeywell Consumer Products Group.

Using your air conditioner in stop and go traffic can increase fuel consumption by as much as 20 per cent.

For city driving, opening a window is the best option.

For highway driving, open your vents.

If you’re still hot, keep the windows closed and use the air conditioner as needed. www.newscanada.com

Understanding the essential maintenance practices that keep your car running smoothly doesn’t require an extensive automotive background.

If you can’t perform the work yourself, knowing when your car needs a visit to your friendly professional technician is just as valuable.

One of the primary practices of engine care is spark plug maintenance. The function of spark plugs in a gasoline engine is to ignite the air-fuel mixture that the engine pumps out, thus starting the ignition. But, if one or more of the plugs is malfunctioning or worn out, the engine will misfire.

So, to keep your engine functioning properly, changing old, worn or dirty spark plugs should be a priority.

Regular spark plugs typically last up to 48,000 km, whereas platinum plugs can last up to 160,000 km.

In order to help with optimum fuel efficiency and durability, the Autolite team has provided consumers with three different sets of spark plugs to choose from:

❚ React: If you can’t avoid striking the large animal, be ready to duck inside your car. Big animals – well in access of 100 kilos –can come through your windshield and cause severe injuries.

❚ Read the signs and watch the road: Those yellow signs with the prancing deer are erected to warn drivers to slow down and be more aware, especially at night. ❚ Stay in control: Never swerve abruptly – hitting a tree or moving into oncoming traffic can result in significantly more harm than hitting the animal. Brake firmly if an animal is standing on, or crossing, the road.

From St. John’s to Victoria, Canada is certainly known for its unique and picturesque landscapes.

We are one of a handful of countries where people and wild animals live side by side, usually quite peacefully. However, when those people are behind the wheel of a car, that relationship gets a bit trickier.

Wildlife collisions are a real worry for Canadian drivers, particularly between April and June, when wildlife collisions are most frequent.

The most costly result of these collisions is injury or even death of both the wildlife and the driver.

They’re more common than you’d think – a report from Transport Canada found that between four to eight large animal vehicle collisions take place every hour in Canada.

“Most people, especially those in regions with a mix of urban and rural areas, need to be more aware of animal collisions,” says insurance and claims expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada.

“It’s important that drivers know the risks and act responsibly behind the wheel to try to prevent these accidents.”

Convertini offers these tips to reduce your chances of being involved in a wildlife collision:

Canadianblackbook.com, the newest online research tool for car buyers and sellers, has risen steadily in popularity since its introduction last spring.

Its focus is on helping Canadians make more educated car deals with tools and impartial information on what cars and trucks are worth.

The unveiling of the website met with considerable fanfare. This was due largely to the long-standing reputation of the printed edition of Canadian Black Book.

The book has been viewed as the go-to source for car and truck values by car dealers, insurance companies and banks for decades. The company has parlayed that trusted expertise into new tools for consumers.

Not just attractive to self-proclaimed “gear-heads,” the site has also attracted its share of women thanks to its content and tools influenced by Canadian Black Book President, Kathy Ward.

owner of the company and a female consumer has had a marked impact on how the site looks and operates, offering wide appeal and several exclusive research tools.

“Stereotypes of women entering car dealers ill-informed are just that - stereotypes,” says Ward. “Our research has found that women, in fact, are more keenly focused on online research than men. They see it as a fundamental part of buying and selling.”

“The Canadian Black Book website builds on this need, offering free tools to buyers and sellers to look up a vehicle’s trade-in value, future value and average asking price,” adds Ward.

“This is complemented by ‘news you can use’ including tips and insights from top automotive experts and reviews.”

EVERGREEN PRIVACY

Evaluate your yard to determine the best tree for your planting location.Think about your tree’s size, both height and spread at maturity, and the planting space available to you.

Consider why you want the tree. Do you want your tree to provide cooling shade in the summer, block brisk winter winds, add beauty, or privacy?

Remember to keep your neighbours in mind. Will the tree block a stunning view or add shade to their yard? Both you and your neighbour will benefit from the right tree in the right place.

SUN

STEP 1. MAKE A SKETCH OF THE FEATURES WITHIN YOUR YARD.

DECIDUOUS SUMMER SHADE WINTER SUN

Sketch in your house and the major features within your property such as property lines, driveways, sheds, existing trees, gardens and fences.

Do you have overhead or underground services? Be sure to include these in your diagram. If you are not sure about underground services, you can call BC1CALL and they can help you locate them. Don’t forget to note low-lying areas where water and frost collect, shady areas, and those that receive a lot of light.

SHADE TREES PROVIDE FOOD, NESTING PLACES AND HOMES FOR WILDLIFE.

STEP 2. GET TO KNOW YOUR SOIL AND DRAINAGE. Good soil is the foundation for a healthy tree. Ideally, your soil should be able to drain well, and yet still hold water and nutrients to match your tree’s needs. Soils vary from place to place and the make-up of soil is difficult to change; therefore, you should try to match your tree to your soil, rather than trying to match your soil to your tree.

Knowing the type of soil you have and how your yard drains, will help ensure the long term success and vigor of your newly planted tree.You can determine what soil you have and how well it drains by doing two simple tests: soil texture and soil drainage.

These tests are fun to do and your kids will love to give you a hand. Get your shovel and hose and get ready for some fun!

SOIL TEXTURE TEST: HOW WELL DOES YOUR SOIL HOLD WATER AND NUTRIENTS? Pick up a handful of moist soil, dampen if necessary, and roll it between your fingers.

EVALUATE YOUR RESULTS Does your soil…

Soil type

What to do…

Firmly stick together like play-dough?

Clay: Will drain slowly and hold water and nutrients too well think mud!

Plant your tree about 5cm higher than normal. Add bark mulch to the surface.

Fall apart like sand?

Sand: Water and nutrients will pass through quickly.

Sandy soil should be amended with a small amount of bagged manure, about 20%. Add bark mulch to the surface.

Loosely ball up like brown sugar?

Loam: This is just right; it holds nutrients and drains well good stuff!

Add bark mulch to the surface.

“Nature does a great job of putting the right plant on a particular soil.

We should try to do the same if we want healthy plants.”

REMEMBER:

You may find that drainage is better in a slightly different location in your yard; watch out for low areas that don’t drain well.

Grab your shovel and dig a hole near the spot where you would like to plant your tree. Dig to a depth of 30 cm.

Turn on your hose and fill the hole with water.

Allow the water to drain completely from the hole.This may take a little while so plan to wait a few hours before step 4.

If you are having difficulty determining what type of soil you have, you may consider taking a sample of your soil to your local nursery for analysis and advice.

Once empty, fill the hole a second time with water and let it drain for an hour.

Using a measuring stick, measure how much the water drains in an hour.

COMPARE YOUR RESULTS If the level of water in the hole drops…

The soil at the planting site is…

What to do…

Less than 10 cm

Occasionally wet or very wet.

Consider planting in a different location.

Between 10-20 cm

Consistently moist, and well-drained to moderately well-drained.

Plant just about any tree here!

More than 20 cm

Well-drained, with occasional periods of dryness during summer droughts.

Plant just about any tree here if you can water it during droughts.

If not, plant a tree that is tolerant of dry periods.

2 PICKING YOUR TREE

Now that you have planned your site, it’s time to pick your tree. Consider why you want your tree.

Is it to add beauty to your yard, screen a view, protect from brisk winds, cool your house in the summer or something else?

How much space will your tree need?

Consider the space you have available (both above and below ground) and whether your chosen tree will fit. Be sure to know how large your tree will become once it reaches maturity.Tree roots need room to grow and should be planted away from foundations.

As the tree grows, so too will its branches.

DIDYOU KNOW THAT ATREE’S ROOTS CAN SPREAD AS FAR AS ITS BRANCHES?

Don’t forget to look up! If overhead utility lines are nearby, you will want to plant a tree that remains small and won’t grow to interfere with the lines.

TREES PROVIDE SHADE AND COOL THE AIR.

Evergreen trees Trees that keep their leaves over winter are called evergreen trees. Placed on the east and west sides of your property, they can reduce heat from the sun on your exterior walls, or divert strong winds from blowing into your yard. Because they remain green throughout the year, they make great screens.

Deciduous trees

Deciduous trees lose their leaves late fall and into winter. When deciduous trees are planted on the west and south sides of your home, they provide shade in the summer and allow sun to filter into your home during winter.

Trees offer many attractive features.

Here are a few trees that you might like to consider for your garden.There are many varieties of trees and we encourage you to visit your local nursery to see their selection. If you choose a particular tree that is not in stock, your local nursery should be able to order it for you.

Plant a deciduous tree on the south side and save energy on the inside.

3 PLANTING YOUR TREE

The best time to plant a tree is between September and May. It is not difficult to plant a tree, but you should keep two points in mind. First, you need to make sure the tree is planted at the right depth.

Second, your tree needs to be watered regularly, especially during the first two years after planting.

Things to know before you start digging…

Remember to keep your root ball moist before planting.

Remove plastic tree containers before digging.

Remove wire basket containers once trees are in the hole.

Okay, let’s get started! Grab your shovel and a tape measure.

A SINGLE, MATURE TREE SUPPLIES ENOUGH OXYGEN A YEAR FOR TWO PEOPLE.

Step 1. Measure the root ball.

Follow the trunk to the area where it spreads to join the roots - this is the trunk flare. Sometimes the trunk flare may be buried in excess soil and you will need to remove the soil on top of the root ball.

Measure the distance from the trunk flare to the bottom of the root ball. Remember this number because you will be digging the planting hole to this depth.

Step 2. Dig the planting hole.

• • •

Hole width at surface: Make the hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball.

Hole depth: Make the depth of the hole the same depth of the root ball.

Hole shape: Shape the hole so that it is wider at the surface than at the base.

Step 3. Centre the tree in the hole.

Place the tree in the hole. Walk around the tree and view it from several directions to confirm the tree

is straight. Check to see that the trunk flare is 2-5cm above ground level. Remove any wire or burlap from the top and sides of the root ball.

TREES IMPROVE AIR QUALITY.

Step 4. Fill the hole.

Begin to fill the hole with the same soil you took out of the hole.To help support the tree, firmly pack soil around the base of the root ball. After approximately 1/3rd of the hole has been filled, add the remaining soil without packing. Add a few shovelfuls at a time and water in the soil to remove any pockets of air.

Stake the tree only if it cannot stand on its own.

Step 5. Mulch and make a tree well.

Make a 5-7cm deep well of bark mulch around the base of the tree. Keep mulch about 15cm away from the bark of the tree and create a raised mound at the outer edge of the well.

Mulch should never be mixed in with the soil used to refill the hole. Cedar mulch is not recommended.

GIVEYOUR TREETHE RIGHT START! PLANT ATTHE RIGHT DEPTH, AND REMEMBER TO WATER.

Step 6. Water.

Newly planted trees need water. How much depends on the location and the size of the tree. Water deeply and evenly around the root ball. A slow, one hour trickle, twice a week is recommended.

Get to know your tree’s water needs by feeling the soil within the top 5 cm of the root ball.

Adjust your watering schedule accordingly.

Aftercare.

Congratulations!You have just planted a legacy for you and your family to enjoy for years to come.

Please remember to water your tree regularly. It will take 3 years for your tree to become established in your yard. Be diligent about watering your newly planted tree and your tree will flourish.There is no need to prune your tree for the first three years. Pruning at this stage should be limited to removing broken branches.

And remember… before you leave to go on vacation, ask a neighbour to water your tree.
