Surrey Eagles sold to local group led by Chuck Westgard

Softball coach buys junior hockey team Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

The sale of the Surrey Eagles to a group of local businessmen headed up by Chuck Westgard was approved Wednesday by the B.C. Hockey League’s board of governors. Westgard’s group purchased the team from current owners Ronnie Paterson, Ralph Berezan and Paul Quinn. “We are extremely excited to be part of the

BCHL and look forward to being in Surrey longterm and building a championship team both on and off the ice,” said Westgard, a local real estate developer and longtime softball coach with the White Rock Renegades. Also part of the new ownership group is Peninsula resident and former National Hockey League defenceman Gary Nylund, and Scott Bradley, currently the director of player personnel for the Boston Bruins. Both

are childhood friends – and former bantam hockey teammates – of Westgard, who grew up in Delta. The pair will be involved in the hockey operations of the Eagles, with Nylund acting as a player-development consultant and assistant coach. The team’s current coaching staff, head coach Shane Kuss and assistant Matt Erhart, will stay on board, Westgard confirmed. Other new investors in the team are local

businessman Frank McFadden and Norm Porter of The Tree Group, a South Surreybased real estate development firm. Paterson will continue to serve as the Eagles’ president and governor. He will also continue in his role as vice-chair of the BCHL’s executive. “It allows us to maintain some continuity going forward,” Paterson told Peace Arch see page 4

Luke’s big move

uke Pulfer’s blue eyes gleam as he points to the row of trophies that line the mantel in his family’s living room. “Those are all mine,” the sixyear-old grins, admiring the hardware he’s brought home since he started playing chess competitively last year. “There’s 12.” The newest one, a gleaming silver cup, stands in the middle. Luke added it to his collection on Sunday, after winning the Grade 1 category of the 2010 B.C. Chess Championships. To its left is the cup the South Meridian Elementary student received at the provincial event the year before, when he won at the kindergarten level. “He has a passion for it,” Luke’s mom, Julie Domovich, said this week. “The only thing that comes close to chess is his soccer.” Luke’s interest in the game of strategy was “a fluke,” Julie noted. Competitive success was the farthest thing from their minds two years ago, when she and Luke’s dad, Robert Pulfer, gave in to their eldest boy’s persistent requests for computer time. He wanted to do what his older sister was doing, so they set him up on a chess program. They never imagined it would strike a chord. see page 4

Virtually all Lower Mainland hospitals will be forced to compete for funding dollars under the provincial government’s payfor-performance strategy to make the system more efficient. Hospitals that speed patients through their wards and handle more cases will get more money to cover their costs. Those that can’t keep up will be under pressure to reform, says Health Minister Kevin Falcon. Kevin Falcon “The system will be forced to adapt and health minister become more nimble and fleet-of-foot in dealing with the needs of patients,” Falcon (SurreyCloverdale) said. “Not the needs of bureaucracy. Not the needs of administration.” The European-inspired plan targets all but the Lower Mainland’s smallest hospitals – excluding Fraser Health’s Delta, Mission Memorial and Fraser Canyon hospitals, but including Peace Arch Hospital. It follows pilot projects at the Lower Mainland’s busiest hospitals – Burnaby General, Surrey Memorial, Royal Columbian and Abbotsford Regional – that succeeded in handling more patients at lower see page 4

There is much more interest in organic and locally-grown food than there used to be. B.C. in particular has developed a good system of organic farms and organic food being available at a wide variety of retail outlets. But the vast majority of the public prefer to buy food that is grown in the standard way – and that often, but not always, involves pesticides. The use of pesticides is something like the use of tobacco. Gradually, society is moving in a different direction – but it is a long process. While many more people are interested in where their food comes from and how it is grown, price is a major factor when it comes to buying food. A significant number of people have no problem with pesticides being used on crops, as long as they are used within acceptable and well-understood limits. Surrey farms will likely use pesticides for many years to come. The number of organic farms remains small, but will likely grow as attitudes change. But to expect the rivers and waterways of Surrey to improve dramatically as a result of this bylaw is expecting far too much – at least as things stand today.

news Pay parking helps city end year with surplus

Staffer terminated

White Rock taxes to rise 3.25% Alex Browne Staff Reporter

White Rock’s tax bill will have a 3.25-percent increase this year, according to a report to council April 12 from financial services director Sandra Kurylo. The projected increase had been 3.66 per cent, Kurylo said, but an increase in property taxes from new development, plus an increase in grants and levies from utility companies, resulted in a total reduction to property taxes of $63,840. This will hold the impact in increased taxes to some $80 for an average detached single-family home and $32 on an average strata property. “In comparison to other Lower Mainland municipalities, this places us in the lower tax tier,” said finance and audit committee chair Coun. Doug McLean following the meeting. “Our long-range financial plan called for a five-per-cent increase to taxes, but council felt, given the current economic situation, we

Officers thanked Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

More than 60 Lower Mainland police officers – including three from Surrey and one from White Rock – were honoured Tuesday for their efforts to get impaired drivers off the road. The group was named to Alexa’s Team – an initiative inspired by the 2008 death of 4½-year-old Alexa Middelaer – during a morning ceremony at Southridge School, where Alexa’s mom, Laurel, heads up the junior school. In a presentation that brought tears to many, Laurel Middelaer shared the story of her daughter’s death – from what the family was doing in the hours before the tot and her aunt were struck by an impaired driver, to the Grade 1 students Alexa should now be sharing schoolyard adventures with. Alexa died nearly two years ago, on May 17, from injuries suffered when she and her aunt were hit by a car as they fed horses in the 4300-block of 64 Street in Delta. Her aunt suffered serious injuries. A 56-year-old Delta woman was charged with two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm and death, and two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and death in connection with the tragedy. The accused is scheduled to go to trial next month. White Rock RCMP Const. Glen Roberts remembers watching the news report on Alexa’s death and “just being heartbroken.” “Stories like that, if that doesn’t motivate you to get out and... get these people off the street, I don’t know what would,” he said. “My daughter’s just over three years now. It hits home for me, huge.” Roberts’ efforts to tackle impaired driving last year earned him a spot on Alexa’s Team. In 2009, he forwarded 19 impaired driving charges to the courts and gave 44 drivers 24-hour suspensions. “It’s one of those things that’s always bothered me,” Roberts said of impaired drivers. “People should

An employee with the City of Surrey has been terminated and faces both city and police investigations resulting from allegations of wrongdoings during his tenure. Mayor Dianne Watts would not identify the staff member, nor comment further on the reason for the person’s dismissal, but said additional information may be disclosed as the city learns more about what has occurred. Watts noted that systems within the city – primarily the new “whistleblower policy” which gives protection to people reporting inappropriate activities – proved to be effective tools in bringing an end to the actions in question. Surrey RCMP would not comment. The employee is to be identified only if charges proceed.

Death investigated An inquest into the 2008 death of a South Surrey man who died following a “violent struggle” with police is to take place next month in Burnaby. Coroner Jeff Dolan and a jury are to hear evidence May 18-20 surrounding David James Stitt’s death. Recommendations as to how to prevent similar deaths in the future may result. Stitt, 46, died June 19, 2008 in Peace Arch Hospital, the day after an altercation with police outside his 13578 Crescent Rd. home. Officers had attended in response to a neighbour’s report of a disturbance. A handcuffed Stitt collapsed as he was being escorted to a police car.

be smart enough to be responsible, but unfortunately, they’re not.” Insp. Ted Emanuels, of the Lower Mainland District Traffic Services, led the effort that resulted in Alexa’s Team forming. In its first year, 26 officers were inducted; each was responsible for at least 10 impaired-driving charges going to court in 2008. Now, there are 174 officers on Alexa’s Team. From Surrey, Cpl. Lorne Lecker, and Consts. Cory Kornicki and Raymond Lee were inducted. Middelaer thanked all of them for efforts that have resulted in a significant increase in Criminal Code charges of impaired driving in B.C. “To Alexa’s Team, my heroes, you are superstars,” Middelaer told the recipients. “In your field, you face

obstacles that few of us understand, and not only do you endure them, you excel through them. Well done.” In an email to the Peace Arch News, Middelaer said she and husband Michael are “so pleased with the officers and their response to the challenge of being on Alexa’s Team.” Vancouver police Const. Steve Addison – who was a Peace Arch News reporter for four years before becoming an officer in 2006 – was among those recognized Tuesday. Addison said that at the start of his policing career, he was surprised at the number of impaired drivers he would come across who already had several 24-hour suspensions under their belts. “I was shocked at their attitude toward drinking and driving... that it wasn’t a big deal,” he said. Addison remembers one driver was so drunk that “when I asked him to step out of his car, he fell back into his car. And that guy was driving home.” According to Emanuels, impaired-driving investigations, charges, 24-hour prohibitions and administrative driving prohibi-

tions increased by 50 per cent last year compared to 2008. In 2009, Alexa’s Team reportedly removed more than 8,000 impaired drivers from B.C. roads. Thirty-eight Vancouver Island officers will be inducted into Alexa’s Team on April 20; another 38 from southeast B.C. will be honoured May 4 in Kelowna. On May 6, the Middelaers will be in Prince George to thank another 31 officers. Q A quartet of Southridge Students boosted efforts to curb impaired driving by $1,000 Tuesday, by donating funds they collected at their birthday parties to the Alexa’s Bus project. Funded through the Alexa Middelaer Memorial Fund, Alexa’s Bus will be an additional tool to aid B.C. police in expediting impaired driving charges, said Lennea Durant of the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation. Details, including full cost of the mobile breathalyzer labs, are still being worked out, Durant said. Tuesday, kindergarten student Matthew Lehnert presented $560 to BCAA’s Tim Condon; Grade 6 students Josh Barrett, Ben Zanatta and Nathan Sanghe donated $440.

Police were dispatched to a South Surrey neighbourhood Monday, after residents reported hearing shots fired. According to one resident, shots were heard in the area of 140 Street and 20 Avenue around 10:30 p.m. April 12. Police confirmed the report, however, further details were not available by Peace Arch News’ press deadline Thursday.

Softball lawsuit BC Amateur Softball Association is suing a Langley woman in connection with the disappearance of more than $400,000 from the non-profit organization. A civil suit was filed in B.C. Supreme Court last month against Karline Elliott, confirmed Softball B.C. president Dennis Bidin. The South Surrey organization, based at Softball City, announced last fall that $404,000 had been misappropriated. According to the statement of claim, Elliott – then an employee with Softball BC – had access to the non-profit group’s financial documents and bank accounts, and made a series of unauthorized transfers to herself beginning in the 2006-07 fiscal year. The association alleges Elliott transferred $500 in 2006-07; $103,631 in 2007-08; $204,100 in 2008-08; and $98,500 in 2009-10. Bidin noted no programs have been affected by the loss, and that the association has implemented a process to prevent similar incidents in the future. A statement of defence has not been filed.

Eagles to be left ‘in good hands’ from page 1 News. “We won’t miss a beat.” Despite staying in the team’s front office, Paterson will not have any ownership stake. “Not right now, no, but it’s something we may revisit at a later date,” Paterson said. “I have a lot of projects on the go right now, and Paul, Ralph and I thought the timing was right to pass the baton and give another group a chance at it.” The new owners had to share a

similar vision and passion as the outgoing group, Paterson added. “They want to keep the team here in Surrey, and that was important to us,” he said. The Berezan/Paterson/Quinn group bought the Eagles from transplanted Canadian Bruce Rielly – who lives in Newport Beach, Calif. – in 2005, shortly after the team’s Fred Page Cup championship season. Though the team struggled on the ice, Paterson’s group worked

to boost the club off-ice – season ticket sales jumped from less than 100 to more than 500 in the first season. A year later, the Eagles successfully bid for, and hosted, the 2007 BCHL All-Star Game. “No disrespect, but when we took over the team five years ago, it was in a bit of a crisis,” Paterson said. “We feel like we’ve done a good job building the program, and we’re leaving it in good hands.”

from page 1 costs per case, as well as reducing wait times for joint replacements, spinal surgery and breast cancer treatment. The expanded initiative will start slowly, with an extra $250 million to be used to reward hospitals over the next two years. From 2012 on, the aim is to shift 20 per cent of the acute-care budget to the incentives strategy, meaning $1 billion a year could be doled out depending on performance. The pay-for-performance model would be limited to common surgeries, procedures and joint replacements, as well as emergency room efficiency. The goals include reducing wait times for common surgeries and

increasing the amount of day surgery in order to cut costly overnight hospital stays. Falcon admitted the changes may mean some services and surgery won’t be performed at all current locations – some procedures may be regionalized at the high-performance sites and reduced or dropped elsewhere. “If they’re doing it better at one facility than another, guess what? They are going to be doing more procedures at that facility that does a better job.” Quality standards will be enforced, he said. NDP health critic Adrian Dix predicted bigger urban hospitals will do well at the expense of more suburban and rural ones.

“When they bring this in, there are going to be winners and losers,” Dix said. “There are going to be some disease groups that win and some disease groups that lose.” Dix questioned the push to make hospitals compete to outperform each other, a scenario he said will foster secrecy about successes, rather than ensuring effective reforms are duplicated around the province. He said hospitals will fight each other for scarce resources, and may open the door for private clinics to bid to take over some of the work. Dix said gains in the test cases came largely because hospitals were given more resources.

Chess player heads to Montreal from page 1 It didn’t take long to realize Luke had a knack for the game. “He started playing it and we realized he was playing the game,” Julie said of her thenfour-year-old. “We pulled out our chess board and we realized he knew what he was doing.” Soon after, Luke joined his school’s chess club, then one at the White Rock Library – where he continues to hone his skills against opponents young and old. There, Luke was introduced to tournament play. When he entered the 2009 provincial event, his parents warned him not to get his hopes up. Since, they’ve determined to let Luke pursue the game on his own terms. Some tournaments have pitted him against players more than twice his age.

Luke with his trophy collection. “I played a game and (the other player’s) rating was 2,000-andsomething, and I beat him in a five-minute blitz – two games,” Luke beamed. In Sunday’s tie-breaker against his pal, Philip Chen – a Surrey Traditional School student – Luke played fast and precise. At the end, “he had one minute and 49 seconds (left on the clock) and I had three minutes and two seconds,” Luke said.

The victory earned Luke an invitation to next month’s Canadian Chess Challenge in Montreal. Next week, he’ll play in the B.C. Youth Chess Championships in New West. Luke’s mom learned quickly that her own chess skills are no match for her son’s. “We’ll play a game and he’ll look at me and go, ‘Mom, that’s a bad move... I’m going to checkmate you in four moves.’ It’s kind of spooky when you’ve got a six-year-old telling you that,” she said. “I don’t remember the last time I beat him.” Q Other local players last Sunday included: Victor Spassoff, Sarah Whiteford, Chris Caza, John Suh, Tim Sun, Yunwoo Choi, Suoomin Lee, Jisaan Chai, Matthew Herdin, Conrad Burgert and Raaj Chatterjee.

War on bullying requires people willing to fight ink Shirt Day may well be the one day of the year victims of bullying feel somewhat safe. The issue is illuminated under a media spotlight, with schools, businesses and the general public joining in the cry against bullies’ attacks and the unnecessary hurt they cause. For one day, victims are backed by an army of supporters who don pink clothing to show allegiance. That day – April 14 in B.C. – has come and gone for another year. Now that the spotlight has been dimmed and the pink shirts tucked away, it will be easier for the issue to crawl its way back. The true test of the anti-bullying campaign is whether we let it. After all, bullying has no season or arena. In varying degrees and manifestations, bullying occurs year-round – at school, in the malls, inside the workplace and on the playgrounds. And, thanks to the growing use of social networking sites and instant/text messaging, bullying has gone digital. Victims can now be reached wherever there is a phone or an Internet connection. On Wednesday, students, business people and politicians sent a clear message: it doesn’t have to be this way. When the public is alert, there are fewer opportunities for bullies to strike. But it’s when people forget the imperativeness of the situation – and the momentum gained on Pink Shirt Day begins to fade – that the defence weakens, and bullying breaks through. The public needs to be prepared when it does. Psychologists say there are many strategies for victims to ward off bullies: be assertive; if possible, avoid areas where bullies prey; stay calm; and don’t react. There are also tips for children who show signs of being bullied, including how to speak in a firm voice, and reporting issues to teachers and other guardians when parents aren’t around. Most importantly, parents need to keep the lines of communication open, and talk to children about bullying year-round, not just one day out of 365. The fight against bullying involves the entire community. Once everyone knows their role – and is wellequipped to play it – there may just be enough of us to help those in need.

On that note, if my little girl is in tears when returned to my care, it had better be because of the sad chick flick you took her to see.

Our community supported me Editor: Re: Conquering uphill battle, March 5. Our family and all of “Team Mary Benson” would like to give our heartfelt thanks to everyone in the community who has given their support during Vancouver’s 2010 Paralympic Games. In particular, we would like to thank the many businesses that responded to the article in the Peace Arch News regarding a fundraiser and send-off for my participation in cross-country skiing. Since my return from Whistler, I slept for a couple of days just recuperating from the intensity of the events, not to mention recovery from a horrendous sinus infection that plagued me during the Games. I have had the opportunity to speak at a couple of schools in Vancouver which was a lot of fun. Now, I am looking at where my sporting experience will take me next, helping others in some way and giving back for sure! We were especially touched by the outpouring of well wishes, financial support and encouragement we have received. After the article, I got notes, cards and donations of money or items to be used for door prizes and auction items from neighbours. They said they saw me walking around with my Nordic poles, but they did not know what I was up to until this article. People were stopping me on the street to tell me how proud they are of me. Thank you for this surreal experience and to all of you for cheering me on. Please visit my website to see links to photos: www.skiwithmaryb. shawwebspace.ca Mary Benson, Surrey

while driving (Our safety’s touchand-go, Feb. 3 letters). Well, I’ve been away for a while, so yesterday I thought I’d take another unofficial survey. Nothing has changed. While away on my holiday, I read online that the police had done a “blitz” and had fined something like 90 drivers at $167 each. They could save some gas and tire wear by just stepping out their respective doors. During my six-block walk on 152 Street, I observed 13 drivers, including a bus driver, talking on their cellphones, plus two who were openly texting – one balancing the phone atop his steering wheel while steering with his elbows. And that was just going one direction, so double my figures. Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak. Tom Peet, Surrey

Only property owners to vote Editor: Re: One-year term an ultimatum to BIA, April 9 editorial. Your editorial would make sense and have some credibility if you got your facts straight. The businesses, who are members of the White Rock Business Improvement Association and who pay the levy, don’t get to vote on the levy. It is the commercial property

owners who vote. (Editor’s note: BIA membership comprises businesses and commercial property owners. B.C. legislation allows the city to poll only the property owners on this issue.) The reason for the one-year term is the bylaw that was brought forward was based on Section 213 of the Community Charter, which allows a negative vote. Nonresponse is taken as a yes – in favour. It is my opinion that Section 213 of the Community Charter is contradictory to Section 39.1 of the Consumer Protection Act, in that it forces a circumstance on a group without giving the group any options or choices. In 2005, the businesses were railroaded into the BIA under Section 213. They did not have a choice. One year from now, the bylaw will be brought forward under Section 212 of the Community Charter which requires a positive vote. Nonresponse is taken as a no – against. Your statement that council’s decision to approve the levy for one year is a downside of democracy and the system of checks and balances built into civic government suggests that this is a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a good thing in that somebody is paying attention to the rules and requiring accountability. As a student of governance, particularly in small non-profit organizations, I am constantly amazed at the lack

of basic internal controls in the adherence to many organizations’ constitution and bylaws, as well as the accounting for their members’ finances. I would hope that in the next 12 months, council will actually look at a more democratic system, where the businesses vote rather than the commercial property owners. After all, it is the businesses who are paying the freight. Margaret F. Woods, White Rock

Beautification made possible Editor: A bouquet of native flowers to Aelicia Otto and the City of White Rock for providing the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay with a large number of new plants for the Demonstration Native Plant Garden by the museum. A small band of volunteers braved the rather chilly, blustery April weather to dig in about 60 small flowering plants that, as they bloom, will enhance the attractiveness of the promenade. The new plants, which hopefully, will flower this spring are seacoast angelica, Oregon stonecrop, smallflowered alum root, broad-leaved shooting star, chocolate lily, coastal penstemon and columbine.

Text book ‘em examples Editor: While I was waiting for my bus, I decided to watch drivers pass by to help the time pass. In the 15 or so minutes I stood at the bus stop, I saw 17 drivers of personal vehicles, four taxi drivers, and eight commercial-vehicle drivers – including a car dealership – talking or texting on handheld phones. A suggestion to the police: Have a plain-clothed officer stand at a bus stop and report drivers who are using their cellphones to officers up the street. Not only will you improve the safety of our roads, you’ll make a great deal of money for our provincial government, who had truckloads of money for the Olympics, but has none left for hospitals, schools, kids’ sports programs, homes for the homeless, shelters for abused women, etc. Jerry Steinberg, Surrey Q You might recall my “rant” a couple of months ago about drivers using cellphones to talk and text

Squads of Canadian machine gunners dig themselves into shell holes on Vimy Ridge in 1917.

Canada must honour its history Editor: While I am pleased to see our MP sending an email recognizing Vimy Day, I have a suggestion. It is long past time for our federal government to complete the creation of an official history of Canada’s part in the Great War, a project begun in the 1930s and dropped in 1938. Alone among the major combatants in that war, Canada has never published a full official history. The 12-volume Australian official history, mostly written by C.E.W. Bean, is a masterpiece of military writing. The British official history runs to nearly 60 volumes for the land war and 15 volumes for the war in the air and the war at sea. Even the U.S., with its brief involvement in the war, produced a 17-volume

official history. In contrast, Canada has produced only a single volume, published in 1938 and covering up to September 1915. In 1964, on the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the war, a very beautiful single volume abbreviated history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force was written and published, but this is long out of print and copies fetch upwards of $200 on EBay. Can we not finally recognize the tremendous achievements of that generation of Canadians by completing a full, official history of Canada’s outstanding role in the Great War? It would be fitting to complete such a project in time for the centennial of the start of the First World War. Ed Beauregard, Surrey

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK There are more than 12.5 million volunteers across Canada. Together, they give more than 2.1 billion hours each year to a host of good causes. Some assist with programs for seniors. Others coach sports teams. Still others help organize disaster relief or outreach programs for people in need. Here in White Rock, volunteers are an essential part of life on the Peninsula. Volunteers help facilitate major festivals and events like the Tour de White Rock. They advise Council on things like environmental and social issues. They run children’s programs, deliver hot meals to shut ins and more. In honour of National Volunteer Week (April 18-24), the City of White Rock encourages you to recognize the volunteers who make a difference in your life, and consider becoming a volunteer yourself. To learn more about current volunteer opportunities in the White Rock area, visit the City’s website (www.city.whiterock.bc.ca).

Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 5:30 pm Saturday 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Esso/Tim Horton’s store demolished; bigger one to be built in place

Demolition crews got to work at the corner of 24 Avenue and King George Boulevard this week, to clear the way for what may be the largest Esso/Tim Horton’s On the Run store in the province. Barj Dhahan, president of site owner Western Bay Properties Inc., said Wednesday that when the work is done, the finished store will measure 4,000 sq.ft. “It’s not so much that the Tim’s is the biggest, but it’s the largest

Esso/Tim Horton’s combo store in B.C., from the best of my knowledge,” Dhahan said. Plans for the site also include a new car wash and gas bar, and a 17-car Tim’s drive-thru. Construction is anticipated to begin in the next 10 days; Dhahan expects to reopen in late September. All staff who were temporarily laid off during the construction have been offered a job at the new facility, which Dhahan estimates will employ at least 40

workers. He said Western Bay Properties owns several other Tim Horton’s locations, including those at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and in the Grandview Corners Wal-Mart, and estimated the value of the latest project at more than $4 million. “We’re looking forward to building this facility,” he said. “We’ve been at it for many years with the City of Surrey. We think it will be a very attractive facility.”

A 13-year-old cyclist is recovering from minor injuries after he was struck by a car while riding in the 1300-block of 160 Street last Friday. According to police reports, the northbound teen was hit just

before 4:30 p.m., when he apparently cut in front of the driver, who was also northbound. “Looks like the cyclist actually went left in front of the vehicle,” Const. Peter Neily said. Police closed the road to traffic

between Thrift and Roper avenues while paramedics assisted the victim. The driver, a 28-yearold White Rock man, remained at the scene, Neily noted. Investigation is ongoing. - Tracy Holmes

Local Brownies sending messages around the world

Guides mark 100 years Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Peninsula Girl Guides are marking the 100th anniversary of Guiding with a global mailout of postcards and joining in what may be the world’s biggest mass sleepover. About 7,000 Guides – 1,700 of them from the Fraser Skies area – are expected to bunk down for Memories and More 2010, set for May 15-16 in Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum. Peninsula Girl Guide and Brownie leader Kate Tobin said craft activities, campfire songs and learning about different Guiding branches are to be among the highlights. Sleep, however, is not. “We all figure we won’t get any sleep,” Tobin said last week of herself and other group leaders. Thinking back to her own memories of attending 75th anniversary events as a kid, Tobin said the temporary sleep deprivation will be worth it for what the experience will give the girls. “As a Guide leader, I think you’re willing to make a lot of comfort sacrifices of yourself for the kids,” she said. Local Guides have been busy readying for the 100th anniversary since last fall, wanting to pay tribute on a grand scale to the girls who got the Guiding ball rolling when they marched into London’s Crystal Palace 100 years ago. Canada’s first Guide unit formed in

St. Catherine’s, Ont. Here, they’ve set goals to earn 100 interest badges, and to raise $100 for charity. Tobin’s 3rd Kla-How-Ya Brownie unit also decided to send 100 postcards to Guide groups around the world. As of this week, 64 had been mailed, with responses received from Austria, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Peru and London, which is home to one of the four world centres of Guiding. The mail-out has been a great way of connecting the Brownies with the

significance of the 100year anniversary, Tobin said. It’s gone a long way in teaching them about geography, too. “We get out the map every time we get one and we talk about where in the world is that, does anybody have any family there.” The girls were particularly pleased with the response from Norway, which came from another little girl, rather than the area’s main office. Those less fortunate and animals in need were the focus of another 100-year event, an art sale held last week at Mount Olive

Lutheran Church. Guide co-leader Ellen Cheung introduced the girls to various art mediums that were happily scooped up by family and friends. Works up for grabs featured floral watercolour paintings, relief sculptures and a needle-felted wall hanging, as well as baked treats. The night raised about $350, the majority of which will be donated to the Surrey SPCA. Admission proceeds, about $35, are being given to the White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank.

Charlie Wasmuth honoured for 60 years of community service

Long-time Elk has history of helping Maria Spitale

Black Press

harlie Wasmuth’s contribution to his community has spanned 60 years. Last month, on March 31, the 93-year-old White Rock resident was awarded with a special pin from the Elks of Canada at the local lodge, 1469 George St. A former furniture store owner, Wasmuth joined the Elks organization in New Westminster when he was 32 years old. “It was a lovely club,” he recalled. “I knew a lot of the businessmen around. But it (the Elks) wasn’t just for them, it was for everyone.” In 1986, he retired to White Rock where he continued to reap the social and humanitarian benefits of his Elks membership. “They have quite a few occasions in a year,” Wasmuth said. Most weekends, Wasmuth and his wife, Anna, would join their friends at the Elks Lodge on George Street for one of the regular dinner dances or sometimes just for a “beer or a hard drink at the bar.” Fellow Elks member Elsie Alton characterized Wasmuth as “a quiet, dignified gentleman.” “They (Charlie and Anna) are really nice people,” she said. It’s this kind of reputation that the Elks of Canada ask of their members. The organization also prides itself on its family-focused platform, which is designed to meets the needs of the community and the members themselves. “It’s a protection platform for its members,” Wasmuth explained. “You help another member out if they are in need.” In his early days with the Elks, Wasmuth would volunteer at their annual fundraisers in the White Rock community whenever he could. “I always supported them (the Elks),” he said. “They help out needy children.” Wasmuth is referring to the BC Elks Association’s primary charity – Elks Recreational Children’s Camp Society – which provides camping facilities for

“In the old days it was different,” Wasmuth said, offering his perspective on the subject. “There are too many other things you can do now. There’s television that we didn’t have before. There is easier transportation these days.” The Elks are not the only service group noticing a decline in membership numbers. In a 2008 interview, Lesley Maudsley, past-president of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Crescent Beach local ladies auxiliary, said the Legion has difficulty attracting younger members. “I think a lot of it is to do with society,” Maudsley said. “You can’t leave your children anymore. You have to take them everywhere.” And members of the Peace Arch Shrine Club – celebrating its 50th

anniversary this year (see page 13) – have noticed membership dwindling, too. Jerry Wernicke, incoming president of the Elks of Canada’s national executive, noted that of the 245 new members brought into the Elks’ local chapter over the past 11 years, 215 have left. “They (White Rock Elks) draw a lot of people, but a lot of people don’t stay,” Wernicke said. The Chilliwack resident said it is up to the local chapter to keep members active and interested, adding that the national board has come up with a strategic plan aimed at attracting younger people. “We try to bring couples in with the hope that their children will want to be involved one day,” he said. “We are also working with Habitat for Humanity and other projects that attract young people.” If Wasmuth’s enthusiasm for his club is any indication, local members are up to the challenge of rebuilding membership. The Elks, Wilson said, are always looking for “community-minded people” to join their club which offers the strong possibility of finding friendship. Wasmuth testifies to that. “I met some beautiful souls through the Elk club,” he said. “I think of them often.” Other Elks’ lodges in North America – including ones in Hawaii and California have also welcomed Wasmuth and his wife. “The one in Hawaii was a beautiful building overlooking the ocean,” he explained. As for receiving the 60-year member award, Wasmuth said he is pretty proud of it. “It’s exciting.” Despite not being able to be as active with the Elks as he once was, Wasmuth still does his part in the way of promotion. “It’s a good club to join if you are new to the community,” he said. “You know that as a senior, you will be safe there.” For more information on the White Rock Elks, contact secretary Jacqueline Allain at 604538-4016.

Staff Reporter

Peace Arch Shrine Club will celebrate its golden anniversary this week, after 50 years of supporting children’s health throughout the community and province. A chapter of the Gizeh Shriners of BC and Yukon, the local group has donated more than $100,000 to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation, as well as contributed to the Shriners’ Care Cruisers. The travel program transports children for free from all over the province to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and Shriners’ hospitals in Portland and Spokane. It was the prospect of helping those under 18 who require medical attention that drew Joe Moore to the organization more than 35 ❝All of our years ago. funds go to sick He was living in Swift Current, Sask. in 1972 when he joined and crippled the Freemasons – a requirement children.❞ to become a Shriner – then the Joe Moore Shrine itself. After moving to White Rock Shriner 10 years later, he became a member of the 125-member Peace Arch club. Having served a year as president in 1988, Moore is now the group’s secretary, a position he has held the last 10 years. “It’s a job no one wants,” he laughed. Peace Arch Shrine Club holds a number of fundraisers throughout the year, which Moore said have evolved from selling barbecue chicken at the Abbotsford Air Show during the club’s earlier years, to now hosting dinner events and car draws. “All of our funds go to sick and crippled children.” But there is more to the club than fundraising – Moore says it’s also about fellowship and meeting new people. The Gizeh Shriners also has numerous units members can participate in, from Drum and Bugle Corps to the Gizeh Oriental Band. Despite a great deal of activity within the clubs, membership is continuing to decline.

Peace Arch Shrine Club secretary Joe Moore and fellow members celebrate 50 years this week. Locally, Moore said there are just 67 members. “The young people just don’t join clubs anymore. They just don’t have the time, I guess.” He hopes the public will come to the club’s birthday celebration Saturday, April 17 at Miramar Plaza Village, 15165 Russell Ave., and learn more about its offerings. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and include cake and speeches.

next level,” he said. “For some people, it’s even a stress relief.” In addition to the three-month fitness program, the two sides are squaring off in various competitions. Christopherson said participants will be evaluated on a point system to determine which team loses the most weight and shows the most amount of body composition changes. In one of the contests, staff will complete a 10-kilometre run now and again in 10 weeks to see how much everyone has improved. Staff are handing out pledge

forms, with each organization aiming to collect $20,000. While winners will receive prizes and bragging rights, Christopherson said the focus is on promoting a healthy lifestyle and work environment. Employees at RBC Dominion Securities are eating oatmeal for breakfast, he said, while staff at KNV Chartered Accountants are serving healthy snack options such as fruit and vegetables. Christopherson noted that outside the corporate challenge, he has seen around 100 people at Innovative Fitness undertaking Fitness Fantasy on their own.

A 90-day fitness faceoff between two Peninsula businesses has so far resulted in participants losing an average of four to six pounds. And they’re not even halfway through the challenge. RBC Dominion Securities and KNV Chartered Accountants are encouraging their staff to participate in Fitness Fantasy 2010, a program offered to British Columbians to help them get in shape. And not only are the two companies in the midst of a friendly fitness competition, they are also competing to see which can raise the most money for the Centre for Active Living, planned for Centennial Park.

The Peace Arch News has helped us become a stronger voice on the Peninsula since we opened in 1996. We have received great service and have always been happy to have our Peace Arch News representatives call on us. The Peace Arch News helps us reach our customers and show our commitment to the community. We are always pleased by the number of customers who come in because they have seen our ad in the newspaper. We are a community-based business, and that is why the Peace Arch News is our choice for advertising on the Peninsula. Our sales, clinics and races have seen great success thanks to the Peace Arch News. The Shop Local ads have shown that pictures are worth a thousand words, and we have had customers come in to buy the entire outﬁt that was featured in our ad. The Peace Arch News has been there for us since we opened, and their commitment to us is important, that is why we choose to advertise with them.

If I had to choose a word to describe HouseWarmings it would be ‘sensory’ full of colour, scents, textures and design - which is why my advertising needs to reflect all of the visual images a shopper can look forward to in my store. The Peace Arch News happily provides strong creative advertising support so that I receive maximum results with a minimal amount of my time required to create them. It starts with my Peace Arch News ad consultant who works well in advance with me to develop an ad concept. Next, their award-winning photographer captures the feel of HouseWarmings through beautiful images. Finally, it all comes together with a welldesigned, eye catching ad from their Creative Services department. The final product, an ad with style and impact, is then ready to ‘go to work’. Because of their attention to ad creation, the results I receive from ads placed in the Peace Arch News and Indulge Magazine are noticeable. The feedback from customers and traffic through HouseWarmings tells me people are seeing my ads. Working with the team at the Peace Arch News is always positive. The bottom line is that the Peace Arch News supports businesses like HouseWarmings, which is why I am happy to support them.

Underwater undertaking Southridge students from kindergarden to Grade 4 practised their parts in Planet Ocean during a dress rehearsal last month. The 45-minute musical – written especially for the students by former Southridge music teacher Brenda Greenwood – taught them about sea life, the water cycle and the responsibility to

protect the Earth’s waters. Grade 4 students took leadership roles on and off the stage, participating in acting, dancing, sets, posters, programs, props or backstage/technical work. The production was presented on two dates in March, one of which was part of Grandparents Day celebrations.

Child literacy promoted by club Children who are read to, and learn to love to read, do better. With this in mind, the Kiwanis Club of South Surrey is pledging to do its part to promote child literacy, by inviting Ocean Park children to register in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. “Reading to children is important,” the club’s Kay Pedersen said in a statement.

“The reading ability of a child is directly related to the number of hours younger children are read to.” The Imagination Library aims to promote child literacy by sending a story book to each child member every month from birth to their fifth birthday. The club launches its commitment to do just that at the Ocean

Park Day Festival on June 19. To meet the commitment, club members plan to solicit donations from agencies, corporations and individuals. The hope is such contributions will enable the project to expand to other Peninsula neighbourhoods. For more information, visit southsurreykiwanis.org

Mailout to defend HST 2 TEAMS Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government will send out information this spring to defend its harmonized sales tax plan and counter a petition drive that is gaining momentum around the province. Finance Minister Colin Hansen said Wednesday the defence of the HST will not include newspaper, radio or TV advertising, and any government spending will respect Elections Act restrictions on advertising during a citizen initiative petition. “We are doing some printed materials that will go out, and we are making sure that there is lots of factual information on the [government] website,” Hansen said. “We will be pushing back on some of the misinformation that’s out there, but we will not be going out with a big expensive ad campaign.” Former premier Bill Vander Zalm’s Fight HST group began gathering signatures April 6, and saw a surge of interest, particularly in the Peace and Kootenay regions that border Alberta. The HST will extend B.C.’s current seven per cent provincial sales tax to a range of services already covered by the federal GST, creating a sales tax gap of 12 per cent in B.C. to five per cent in Alberta, where there

Finance Minister Colin Hansen says voters need to hear about the positive effects of the harmonized sales tax. is no provincial sales tax. Fight HST has 90 days to collect signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in all 85 constituencies in B.C. A successful petition requires a standing committee of the legislature to meet and decide whether to submit the petition with legislation to stop the tax, or put the issue to a provincewide referendum. B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act was passed in 1995 and has never been successfully used to recall a politician or reverse a government initiative. NDP leader Carole James led the attack on the HST in the legislature Wednesday, focusing

on its effect on rents and condo fees as well as services such as funerals. Hansen emphasized that rent and condo fees are exempt from GST and therefore will be exempt from HST. He rejected suggestions that the HST will increase condo fees by two to four per cent when it takes effect July 1. Services such as painting or installing new carpet will be subject to HST, but provincial tax will no longer be built into the costs of the paint or carpet, he said. The result will be that condo fees “will not be incrementally affected,” Hansen told the legislature.

Bigger fines, new system of inspectors planned

Feds target unfair gas pumps Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gas stations with badly calibrated pumps that bilk motorists will face stiffer fines under proposed new federal legislation unveiled Thursday. Conservative Industry Minister Tony Clement said the new Fairness at the Pumps Act will force retailers to have gas pumps as well as retail food scales inspected regularly. Violators would face fines of up to $10,000 for minor offences and $25,000 for major offences, plus a new fine of up to $50,000 for repeat offences. Existing legislation allows fines of no more than $1,000 and requires prosecution in court. “When Canadians pull into a station to gas up, they want to know that what’s on the pump is what’s in the tank,” Clement said.

Evan Seal photo

New legislation aims to improve fairness at the gas pump. The Tories had promised in 2008 to tighten enforcement of faulty pump measurements after a newspaper investigation found one out of 20 pump gauges were faulty, most of them charging motorists for more gas than they actually received. It typically cost drivers about 50 cents per fill-up – $2 to $3 in rare cases. Checks would be performed

Ottawa estimates they could inspect 65,000 pumps per year, an increase from about 8,000 inspected now. The costs of inspections would be charged to gas stations, and presumably be added to fuel costs. “As long as it’s not exorbitant, I think it’s a cost consumers would be happy to bear,” said Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran, who praised the reforms. The new legislation does not attempt to rein in gas prices, which have also been the subject of loud complaints and accusations of industry collusion for years.

While this occasionally crude character is the source of many of Humble Boy’s laughs, Busswood also delivers the most emotionally genuine performance, captivating the audience in his more serious scenes. Susan Cox teeters closely to an overthe-top performance as family friend and peacemaker Mercy Lott – however, the skittish portrayal works well for the nervous personality, constantly walking on egg shells and extinguishing fires between the volatile characters. Carmen Sicotte, as ex-girlfriend Rosie Pye, and Dick Pugh, as Jim the knowledgeable gardener, round out Humble Boy’s strong cast. see page 26

PRIME RIB EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT With Fresh $ 95 Yorkshire Pudding!

‘I am the hands of a higher power’ from page 25 Haida art – integral to the way of life of the people of the Haida Gwaii as expression of the ceremonial and sacred, as personal expression through crests, and as an adornment of commercial ‘trade goods’ – reached a high level of sophistication just prior to contact with settlers, Davidson said, and even flourished more as artists gained access to new tools and materials. “But in the late 1800s, it took a nose dive because of the death of 90 to 95 per cent of the people and the laws of Canada that outlawed any artistic expression. “The art, for me, is what helped me reconnect with the culture and made me want to learn about that – not to say that I’m going back to the old ways, but that I want to understand them and grow from that.”

Plenty of laughs, emotion from page 25 The play, which premiered at London’s Royal National Theatre in 2001, is set in a lush, flowery English garden – in itself a huge character in the story, which is peppered with references to horticulture and beekeeping. The few dull moments in the first act are offset in the second, as the pace picks up nicely after the intermission, when the whole cast (minus Jim) share the stage for the first and only time – one of the most enjoyable scenes of the play. The dramatic, sentimental moments are pleasantly intertwined with laugh-out-loud humour – comedic highs that occasionally, unfortunately, drown out subsequent dialogue. While Jones’ story is a relatable one – a family dealing with grief, past mistakes and new realizations – some of the dialogue, rife with references to astrophysics, is a little bit difficult to grasp for a physics dropout such as myself. Overall, Humble Boy is a touching, humorous look at both the beauty and repugnance of family relationships, wellacted by a talented cast and full of ideas and emotions. Humble Boy is on stage at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd., and is running now until April 24.

Looking back at his work in the current show, which includes pieces from as early as 1968, Davidson is not harsh in his judgment – but he’s frank to say he sees it as an earlier period in his artistic development and his “learning curve of the art form.” “The early works are really copies and variations and studies of earlier pieces,” he said. But for Davidson, the process of art evolves. “I get excited at wherever I’m at – it’s also a challenge. I’ve been told that I have it made, but my response to that is I don’t think of myself that way. “There was a point I felt I was recycling a lot of my ideas, so I decided to challenge myself by going beyond that point – to play with space more, with positive and negative space and colour.”

His most recent previous show, the Abstract Edge, did not include any ceremonial or crest pieces, but still honoured the past by going into even closer studies of the two main shapes in Haida art – the ‘U’ shape and the ovoid. “If you did a math equation on the proportions of the shapes, there would be an ideal proportion,” Davidson said. “But after years and years of drawing, it becomes intuitive. You realize it’s coming from somewhere else. Because I’m fluent with the art form I am the hands of a higher power. “I am very much like a radio, receiving something in a reciprocal way.” The free discussion program, Robert Davidson in Conversation with curator Ian Thom, will be held Sunday, May 2 at 2 p.m. at Surrey Art Gallery.

arts & entertainment Metal group Quartered perform in the Phillipines this weekend

Share some delight!

Band lands gig overseas Alex Browne Arts Reporter

Things are progressing fast for White Rock-based progressive metal band Quartered. A band whose music is being featured on the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 Rock Band networks – not to mention spotlight airplay on Fox 99.3’s The Shop – can’t be described as the Peninsula’s best-kept secret. But Quartered – a dedicated group of musicians that has been honing its sound for a decade – is about to make a quantum leap forward in winning fans, in the Phillipines at least. That’s thanks to a spot in a prestigious stadium show – Pulp Summer Slam 10 – in Manila this Saturday. “Apparently our name is all over the TV and radio down there,” said lead singer Greg Williams, whose persistent networking with Phillipines band Slapshock, which Quartered worked with in Vancouver last year, led to the gig. “They kept saying ‘why don’t you come out to the Phillipines?’ I took them literally and kept pestering them. But I didn’t know how big it was going to be.” Williams and fellow Quartered members Todd Sanft and Jeff Wang (guitars), Craig Rudder (bass) and Scott Miller (drums)

White Rock-based Quartered perform in the Phillipines Saturday. admit they’re awed that they’re on the same bill with metal idols Testament and Lamb of God. “These are very big bands,” Wang said. “Testament is one of the grandfathers of metal, who started it.” “And Lamb of God is one of our favourite metal bands,” noted Miller. Add to that the fact that the Amoranto stadium in Manila can hold some 15,000 people – and, given the energy and enthusiasm of Phillipine fans, much like their European counterparts, it will likely be filled – and this will be the biggest show ever for Quartered. Furthest they’ve travelled for a gig, to date, they admit, is Prince George. “Somewhere between here and the Phillipines we skipped something,” said Williams, shaking his

head. Quartered members have been watching online videos of other big concerts in the Phillipines, and it’s given them a sense of how big the show on Saturday is likely to be, in contrast to opportunities available to the band in North America. The musicians are also travelling to the Phillipines with a good feeling about their newest CD, Walks Like A Ghost, produced by Ben Kaplan, which should be ready for release this summer. The title song was written by Williams, inspired by his experiences travelling in Africa. “We’ve put more effort into our songwriting and we’ve grown,” Miller said.

sports Peace Arch group snags top spot

Cheer team on podium Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Despite being together less than a year, the young cheerleaders at Peace Arch Champion Cheerleading performed like veterans last week, at the Sea to Sky International Cheerleading Championships in Vancouver. The club’s junior team – members aged 9-14 – placed first in the Junior 2 large division, while two more Peace Arch teams, senior large group (12 to 18 years old) and mini small group (six to eight) placed just off the podium, in fourth spot. “But they were very, very close to third,” said Kate Wright, who runs Peace Arch Champion Cheerleading with her

sister, Emily. Peace Arch Champion Cheerleading has been in operation only since September, and the Sea to Sky event was the club’s third and final competition of the cheerleading season. “It was our last and biggest event, and it was very exciting to do so well,” Wright said. “Especially because it was an international competition, so there were a lot of really good teams from the States there, as well.” At the two-day event, each team performed a pair of two-and-ahalf minute routines – one per day – which includes stunting, dance and gymnastics and were all set to music. Each teams’ average score from both performances determined the winner.

Safe at home Despite the best efforts of White Rock White Sox pitcher David Sheppard and catcher Cody Harker, Cloverdale base-runner Deion Pawlauk slides safely into home plate during a midget AA baseball game Sunday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Brian Giebelhaus photo

HAINES, Dorothy Jean 1924 - 2010

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honour someone special whether they are made in someone’s memory or given to honour a special occasion like a retirement, birthday or anniversary For more information call:

604-535-4520 or give online at peacearchhospital.com

Jean Haines was a much loved, beautiful soul, blessed with a wonderful life. Always in our hearts, she passed away, too soon, on March 22, 2010. She was predeceased by husband, Jack, in October 2000. Together they raised their family, on Sunnyside Road in Surrey, then escaped to Saltspring Island in 1975. Never idle, they worked hard to build their home, and grew large gardens with a pioneer enthusiasm. They thrived on everything Saltspring had to offer, and in return offered their friendship and generosity of spirit. Jean enjoyed bowling and golf into her 80’s, and volunteered at the Lady Minto, Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop for 30 years. She could still beat us all at Scrabble. Jean moved to Oak Crest Drive in 2009, to live with daughter, Lauren, and was immediately embraced by the most welcoming, friendly neighbourhood in Victoria. She enjoyed working in the garden, and appeared to be getting younger not older. Jean is survived by her sister Marguerite Thompson, sisterin-law Ivy Eastman, by her four children, Joyce Cowie (Barry d.2009), Bill Haines (Marie), Lauren Haines and Penny Youngash (Mark); nine grandchildren & seven great-grandchildren. We will miss her, so much. A memorial tea will be held for Jean Haines on Saturday, April 24th, at Beecher Place in Crescent Beach from 11am - 1:30pm, (Beecher Place, 12160 Beecher Street, at the beach. Access to upstairs room, at the back.) In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to Lady Minto Hospital, on Saltspring Island, www.ladymintofoundation.com or become a volunteer in your community.

HYUNDAI SONATA 2011 Story and photos by Jim Robinson Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine

LA JOLLA, Ca.: This story should be about the 2011 mid-size Sonata sedan but what’s happening at Hyundai Canada is perhaps just as important. It wasn’t so long ago that Hyundai thought it was a banner year if they told 25,000 units. In 2009, it sold 103,233 making Hyundai one of only six car companies to exceed 100,000 in sales in Canada. In January of this year alone, they sold 6,084 vehicles. But the big number is Hyundai’s 7.1 per cent of the market in 2009 up from 4.9 per cent in 2008. For those of you who follow the car industry, a jump like that is unheard of. How are they doing this when others are faltering? The 2011 Sonata says it all. The car is solid, even fun to drive which you couldn’t have said about a Hyundai 10 years ago. And in a fresh break from Sonatas that have gone before, it looks great. This comes at a time when consumers think of the brand as being reliable. In short, they trust Hyundai. Hyundai vehicles now have a substantial residual (trade-in) value. The Sonata, for example, has a residual of 53 per cent that is higher than Camry or Fusion at 49 per cent each. Hyundai is coming to market with a hybrid in the fall. Rather than being late in the rush to electrics, Hyundai is actually moving ahead of the rest with a lithium-polymer battery that can be shaped to ﬁt instead of being a big box of batteries. Hyundai is also relentless in bring in new models. In a 24-month span, from 2004-2006, they introduced seven new vehicles. Beginning with the 2010 Tucson tested on these pages recently, Hyundai is on another seven-modelsin-24-months campaign that includes the Sonata tested here. Next up is the Equus luxury sedan, the Elantra, the Accent, a “sporty coupe” and the next Santa Fe. Currently with 198 dealers, Hyundai plans to add 20 more this year, mostly outside urban areas where interest and demand is growing. No longer a “cheap and cheerful” A to B sedan, the 2011 Sonata is also part of a plan to get across the message that Hyundai now stands for quality which we saw begin with the Genesis sedan. For example, you won’t ﬁnd a monotone interior in the Sonata but a mixture of textures and materials. While it is in the mid-size segment, the U.S. EPA considers the

interior as being a large car. Hyundai claims it has the largest interior volume in its class. It’s the same with the truck volume. Hyundai had a display of plexiglas boxes filed with popcorn to give a visual of the differences between Sonata on six competitors. One of those boxes had 7.4 cu ft of popcorn which how much bigger the trunk of the Sonata is than the Ford Fusion. But what really stands out is the styling. To me, this is the first Hyundai to look enticing. With a touch of C-Class at the front and mixture of Lexus/Bimmer at the back, there is a wonderful character line running from the headlight along with door window sill and capped with chrome that makes the kind of “look at me” statement that Hyundai has never made before. Power is Hyundai’s new gasoline direct injection (GDI) 2.4-litre, twin cam inline four-cylinder engine. GDI results in more power and less fuel consumption. At 198 hp and 164 lb/ft of torque, which is a lot for 2.4-litres, Hyundai claims it is the most fuel-efficient in the segment at 8.7/5.7L/100 km city/highway for the six-speed manual transmission and 9.4/5.7L/100 km with the six-speed automatic. Interestingly, the automatic is sealed for life meaning you never have to top it up or change fluid like in the old days. The base GL ($22,649) comes with the manual or with the optional automatic ($24,249). The GLS ($26,249), Limited ($28,999) and Limited with navigation system ($30,999) are all fitted with the automatic. At the press launch in California I drove with my usual partner, the Toronto Star’s Jim Kenzie, not because we are old friends; but because we agree on nothing which makes for entertaining drives indeed. Kenzie really hammered the Sonata up, down and across the hills behind San Diego. I’m still a little leery of the new generation of low rolling resistance silica tires because I think more friction means more grip. But didn’t seem to bother Kenzie much and I had the comfort in knowing the 2011 Sonata comes standard with electronic stability control with traction control and anti-lock braking with Brake Assist and Brake Force distribution, and thankfully, six airbags. During my time at the wheel I noticed the engine sounded gruff at startup but that went away quickly and then became almost silent at speed. I know the engine bay is well noise proofed so it must have been the tires and the slippery shape that paid off in the lack of sound intrusion into the cabin. Instead of being a bland handler, the Sonata not

only points well, but it has a feel more like a European sedan. You sense with the inputs coming through the steering wheel to the ﬁngertips which I really can’t quite remember in previous Sonatas. At the press conference, Hyundai was asked why there was no V6 offered like most of the Sonata’s competitors. The answer was, surprisingly, that a turbo version of the four-cylinder is coming later in the year complete with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. What Hyundai has in the 2011 Sonata is an affordable car with the kind of looks and reliability that consumers in the mid-size segment now consider seriously as the sales numbers are already proving. But I also think it goes beyond that. It’s the ﬁrst Hyundai people can aspire to own, not because of the fuel economy or the price, but because they are proud to have a Hyundai in their driveway.
