Homeowners fed up with constant noise of engine brakes near SFPR; city and province pass the buck about whose job it is to silence them LISTEN TO WHAT THE REITERS HEAR WITH

SURREY — Residents in Bridgeview are dealing with a lot of noise – both from the engine brakes being used on the South Fraser Perimeter Road and the city and the province shuffling the responsibility for it. Since the finalization of the 40kilometre, four-lane stretch of road, known also as Highway 17, residents Ruth and Ken Reiter have noticed an increase at all hours of the day in the amount of noise coming from engine brakes. Calls to the City of Surrey have been referred to the province, and vice versa. “I’ve talked to everybody, and everybody is passing the buck on me,” Ruth said. The nine-year homeowners noticed a large increase in the amount of engine brake usage – or Jake brakes – in the last month-and-a-half. Ruth has been constantly calling both the City of Surrey and Victoria in the last two weeks as the noise becomes more persistent. see BRAKE NOISE › page 3

East Clayton
Pilot projects explored for parking fix Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
CLAYTON — Surrey staff have been directed to explore temporary pilot projects ideas to deal with parking havoc in East Clayton. “I would like staff to explore different options in terms of immediately dealing with parking tensions in the neighbourhood of Clayton that was brought about by our zoning of the coach homes in the past,” Coun. Barinder Rasode said during Monday’s transportation and infrastructure committee meeting. Rasode asked staff to “explore the possibility of what a temporary pilot would look like.” “Tensions that exist right now in the neighbourhood need to be dealt with immediately,” while the city cracks down on illegal suites in the area, she said. Rasode made a motion asking staff to look at ways to relieve parking tensions in the Clayton neighbourhood, which could include exploring a temporary parking permit program. Coun. Tom Gill didn’t second the motion immediately, wanting to hear staff ’s reports on the matter, but did so later in the meeting. Staff presented some ideas during the meeting, including area-specific controls, which residents could be exempt to, similar to what’s seen near the White Rock waterfront. “White Rock is a great example of this. Each frontage resident is allowed to park in an area that is otherwise a pay parking area,” said Dave Harkness, the city’s parking services manager. see CITY SEEKS › page 3

Resident-only parking permits were also discussed at the meeting. “Supply is not changed, abuse is likely and there is a higher level of enforcement required,” Harkness said of that option. Another type of control discussed was frontage parking with time limits. Harkness indicated this option would also require a high level of enforcement. Homeowners would provide proof of ownership and a licence plate would be assigned to a lot. Enforcement would be based on that licence plate. Harkness said the city looked at the idea of permit parking program in 2005, and found a variety of things need to be considered, such as the increased bylaw enforcement required to run it and ensuring a high level of neighbourhood support. Jaime Boan, Surrey’s transportation manager, said he didn’t think a three-hour
parking limit option would be successful. “We have issues at Gateway Towers. In that case it’s employees going out and they’re constantly going out and moving their car and it’s then legal. And it’s very hard to enforce.” Boan also doesn’t think resident-only parking will work. “I guess the summary is from our previous review and our look at it now, we really don’t think that resident-only parking is going to be a solution,” Boan said, adding, “I think it’s reasonable for us to continue to look to see if there’s other solutions.” Cloverdale Community Association president Mike Bola was at the meeting and is confident the city will help resolve the problem. “I still think parking can be under control if we start to push out the illegal suites,” he said. Bola would like to see back lane parking eliminated in the area, hoping that will deter some renters living in the neighbourhood. “We may be able to weed some people out that way,” Bola said. A staff report that looks at pilot project options is expected in the coming weeks. areid@thenownewspaper.com
“I was told it’s a provincial thing and they said to phone the city,” Ruth said. “I talked to everybody at the city and they said ‘Nope, once the road was done, it’s no longer a city issue.’” Prohibiting the use of engine brakes is part of the City of Surrey’s bylaw No. 13007, yet the argument is that it is a provincial road and so far neither governing body is accepting responsibility. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said that in order for a “Brake Noise” sign to be installed, the City of Surrey has to submit a request to the ministry. Once approved, the ministry will install a sign. There is a sign warning against brake noises east of 136th Street on SFPR advising westbound traffic, yet the Reiters say that it hasn’t deterred the majority of truck drivers. Ken believes it’s an issue of enforcement. Listen to the BRAKE NOISES › online
“It’s an urban area, it’s a flat ground and they have no reason to use their Jake brakes,” he said. It was suggested by a spokesperson at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure that Ruth phone the RCMP about enforcing the use of engine brakes in urban areas. Instead, she wants somebody to come down and see what the problem is so that there can be a solution. If drivers aren’t abiding by the signs, the Reiters would like to see a sound barrier put in place that’s more effective than the dirt wall they have now. “It’s not a sound barrier at all,” Ken said. “It’s an ugly mud fence.” The dirt wall was put in during the beginning of construction and, according to Ken, has already dropped about two feet. Small trees have been planted at intervals along the wall, but Ruth argues that it will take 20 years for them to be effective. She is worried about safety concerns as

she sees children playing on the wall beside the highway as the wall extends down past Bridgeview Elementary. “They told me it’s complete. But to me, it’s not complete,” Ruth said. The couple said they feel as if they’re being driven in circles and are frustrated at the lack of response. “I don’t want your number. All I want is for someone to listen to me,” Ruth said. “I’m a homeowner, I’m a taxpayer and I feel like I’m getting put on the backburner.” Surrey Coun. Tom Gill said that it was the first he’d heard of the dithering between the city and the province. He added the issue to the committee agenda for the Monday, March 17 transportation and infrastructure meeting where they agreed to send a letter to the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure advising them of the situation. Since interviewing the Reiters, a representative from the SFPR project scheduled a meeting to address their concerns on Tuesday, March 18. SFPR connects the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal in southwest Delta to 176th Street in North Surrey. The project website states that it offers “an efficient transportation corridor, while restoring municipal roads as community connectors by reducing truck and other traffic on municipal and local road networks in Delta and Surrey, improving quality of life for residents and local businesses.”

SURREY — Police are looking for a young man with a dark complexion who mugged an elderly South Asian man last Thursday in Newton Athletic Park. The victim, 72, suffered cuts and bruises to his hands and face. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said witnesses saw the mugger carrying something in his hand but it’s not known if he used a weapon. Police believe he was after the victim’s rings. The mugging happened March 13 at about 1 p.m., in the 7300-block of 128th
Street, at the west side of the park. The victim was taken to hospital. The attacker is believed to be in his early 20s, has dark skin, is slim, about five feet eight inches tall and wore a dark hoodie, red jacket, and dark sweat pants. He ran off down a trail. Police don’t believe this mugging is linked to any other crimes. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. Tom Zytaruk

SURREY — Surrey is drafting it’s own position paper on the Pattullo Bridge following New Westminster coming out with its own. Surrey city staff have taken issue with several points in the New Westminster paper, saying the Royal City “played tricks on the numbers” and overstated the cost for the six-lane bridge option, as well as understated the benefit of a larger bridge option. Late last year, Surrey accused New Westminster of “filibustering” the replacement process by refusing to endorse a replacement plan at all. In mid-February, the Ministry of Transportation announced it was willing to fund a third of the cost of replacing the Pattullo Bridge – if the two cities are able to come to an agreement. Then in early March, the City of New Westminster released a position paper stating its support for a new, tolled four-lane Pattullo Bridge. The Royal City says its position aligns with its policy of working toward the principle of no new added capacity on its roads, and that the recently tolled Port Mann Bridge has already led to 6,000 more crossings per day as well as a 75 per cent growth in truck traffic on Royal Avenue. As well, New Westminster’s position is that unnecessary money spent on a larger bridge would restrict the ability to fund other much needed transit projects, such as Surrey’s light rail system. While New Westminster now endorses a new, four-lane bridge, Surrey is still adamantly pushing for six lanes, which are expected to cost $800 million and more than $1 billion, respectively. After the approval of councillors
Tom Gill and Barinder Rasode during a transportation and infrastructure committee meeting on Monday, Surrey is drafting its own position paper. Paul Lee, Surrey’s rapid transit and strategic projects manager, said TransLink is promising to conduct reactive public consultation later on this spring, but expects that won’t materialize until early fall. As for the paper, Lee said Surrey disputes New Westminster’s characterization of the role and function of the bridge.
New West is treating the bridge like a road, basically, just saying it connects North Surrey to downtown New West… where clearly the Pattullo Bridge has a regional function. “New West is treating the bridge like a road, basically, just saying it connects North Surrey to downtown New West… where clearly the Pattullo Bridge has a regional function.” He pointed to Langley and South Surrey residents who use the bridge to get to Burnaby and other parts of Vancouver. Lee said while New Westminster has expressed it doesn’t want to look at additional road capacity, Surrey’s position is that this is required. “Considering we’re growing the way we are, the additional capacity is clearly required…. The demand is there, so we certainly don’t agree with that,” he said. Lee also said Surrey disputes New Westminster’s position that a six-lane
bridge is cost ineffective, adding that “they play tricks on the numbers” in the paper. The city also believes the New Westminster paper understated a sixlane bridge’s benefit. Finally, Lee said the parties have been waiting for months for TransLink’s consultant to analyze and compare the four- and six-lane options. “We are very confident that with a four-lane operation, there would be further delay and further congestion on both sides of the bridge. And that’s not something New West would want, is this increased delay on their own streets. So by New West publishing this position paper, (they) in effect withdrew themselves from the process,” Lee said. Rasode asked if New Westminster let Surrey know they were working on anything outside of the TransLink process, prior to releasing the position paper, and staff said no. With the upcoming municipal election, Rasode said the “timeline is very suspect.” Surrey is drafting a formal letter to New Westminster on the issue, as well as the province, to state its stance. Surrey’s position paper is expected in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, TransLink expects it will have to plow at least another $300,000 into the Pattullo Bridge next year while it decides whether to rebuild or refurbish the aged crossing. Also, TransLink has $300 million set aside to rehabilitate it if needed, after a 2013 report from Metro Vancouver found that the Pattullo Bridge does not have adequate sidewalks or barriers for pedestrians and cyclists, and that the 76-year-old bridge may not survive a moderate earthquake or ship collision.

SOUTH SURREY — Three local Liberal MLAs have thrown their names into the coal debate, calling on Fraser Surrey Docks to provide further research on the potential health impact an increase in coal train traffic might have in their respective communities. Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, Delta-North MLA Scott Hamilton and Surrey-Panorama’s Marvin Hunt penned a joint letter to Port Metro Vancouver’s CEO Robin Silvester supporting the port’s decision to request more research from FSD. The three also reiterated concerns expressed by the province’s medical health officers, Dr. Patricia Daly and Dr. Paul Van Buynder, about the lack of human impact from FSD’s initial environmental impact assessment, released back in November. At that time, the doctors said, “The report does not meet even the most basic requirements of a health-impact assessment.” Following a public input period
that also saw the municipalities of Surrey, White Rock and Delta calling for further study, Port Metro Vancouver requested FSD to conduct further research. For Paula Williams, co-founder of Communities and Coal, the three MLAs’ support is welcome news. “People have been going to their MLAs asking for help and talking about the issue so Gordon, Marvin and Scott took it upon themselves to come out with this letter and speak out on behalf of their constituents,” said Williams. “I think what this shows is that if some B.C. Liberals are willing to come out with a statement like that, I’m hoping this will also spur the provincial NDP to do more than they’ve done.” Williams said she was hopeful B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake would force FSD to do a comprehensive health impact assessment. The letter of support comes a week after a new study was published by Washington State University showing air pollution levels in a Seattle neighbourhood spiked when loaded coal trains passed.

rotten tomatoes to the lowlife who goes around stealing other people’s property and to the person who stole my two pairs of shoes from my house.

Even though I have sympathy with your current situation, it sure has made the commute across the Pattullo Bridge a whole lot more enjoyable this past week. rotten tomatoes to the mayor and the RCMP who are harassing our neighbours in Whalley who look homeless

Now that Watts can see the “real” Whalley from her balcony, maybe she should stop building breweries and other “iconic” architecture, and focus on providing affordable rental housing for our less fortunate friends. roses to the Now newspaper from afar. I grew up here but moved away. You do wonderful work keeping me up to date on news stories. Thank you! an enormous bouquet of roses to my son’s Scout leader and his wife for paying our dinner bill. What a great surprise! It was nice seeing you after so many years. An awesome random act of kindness. Thank you so much for making my evening! roses to the City of Surrey for the new and improved city hall – it’s about time! You
moved to the heart of your city, instead of being on the outskirts. Bold mayor, bold move. rotten tomatoes to bus drivers who hold up traffic while stopped at a bus stop talking on cellphones or who drive while talking on the phone. The law applies to you too. rotten tomatoes to the woman who complained about other women using their phones at She’s Fit. I use my phone at the gym. I work 10-hour days and after that I race to the gym. I would love to have that one hour to myself but being a mother and wife, my day is never done. My time is never my own. So when my children call to ask what’s for dinner or to tattle on the other, I am going to answer my phone. There are worse things happening at the gym.

Former martial arts instructor’s sexual interference charge stayed
Join us April 24
SURREY — A Surrey man accused of sexual interference with a minor will not be tried in court after all. A stay of proceedings was entered in Daniel Ivan Ugarte’s case before his preliminary hearing was to begin last week in Surrey provincial court. Ugarte, 30, was arrested last May and charged with one count of sexual interference of a person under the age of 16. He had also been fired from a Surrey martial arts studio where he worked as an instructor. Ugarte could not be reached. A friend of his told the Now that he “just wants to put the whole thing behind him.” His lawyer, Michael Shapray, declined to comment.
City of surrey WAT E R M A I N F L U S H I N G As part of the city’s maintenance program, the flushing of the watermains in the areas located between 56th Avenue & 80th Avenue & 120 Street to 152 Street will occur from Jan. 31, 2014 to May 31, 2014. 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. Thank you for your cooperation. Engineering Department Operations Division Manager Gerry McKinnon
www.surrey.ca
The mother of Ugarte’s alleged victim, neither of whom can be named, said her daughter is distraught and unwilling to go through the court process. “I’m devastated,” the mother said. Crown prosecutor Jodie Harris confirmed the stay of proceedings. “He’s not been acquitted,” she noted. Harris said the stay was “based on continuing application of the charge assessment standard,” but she wouldn’t comment further on the matter. In B.C., a stay of proceedings means the Crown has dropped the charge against the accused but in serious cases, it may restart the prosecution within one year of the stay.

Sign City needs to unclutter ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth
ENTER UGLY SIGN CONTEST Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign? The Five Man Electrical Band recorded that ditty in 1971 and, if anything, the problem has only gotten worse in the four decades that have followed. In some places, the sign explosion has reached biblical proportions with signs begetting signs: a mobile yellow eyesore planted curbside directing attention to the sign on the business behind it. Not that we need the extra nudge to draw our attention to the storefront – we had already spotted the three-storey high inflatable giant panda bear on the roof from two blocks away. For some reason, Surrey
has become somewhat of a signapalooza. Twentysomething years ago, I was with some university buddies driving through Whalley on a late night run to the border. One of my friends, an American, suddenly sat up and asked where we were. “Surrey.” “My god,” he replied. “It looks like New Jersey.” Needless to say, it was not intended as a compliment. When I think back on that incident, I wonder what he would think if he drove through Surrey today. We have those ugly yellow mobile billboards dotting boulevards all over the city, plus their equally garish black portable units with accompanying tawdry neon letters. (Quick question: How come the colours of the neon letters never match on these signs? They are supposed to generate business, but they end up looking like a roadside ransom note.) These mobile billboards are not pleasant to look at and, in some cases, they are so poorly positioned that they impede sightlines for drivers trying to exit the parking lots for the businesses they are intended to promote.
Then we have the graffiti signage that sprouts from the sides of telephone poles throughout the city. Lose weight fast!; Cash for cars!; Save money on moving! Or my personal favourite, Tax and Accounting Services! Here’s a tip: If you are in such dire straits that you would consult a financial planner you found using a telephone number randomly tacked to a lamp standard on the street, then I would humbly suggest a shoddy fiscal acumen isn’t your only problem. In fact, the dog walker advertised on a placard a foot above the accounting sign would probably be more helpful with your taxes. At least the dog walker can afford a ladder. The graffiti signs are matched by another plague on the urban landscape, the lawn sign. Once the sole frontier of real estate agents, lawn signs now encompass
trade services in front of houses where work is being conducted and the viral condominium ads that sprout out of the grassy boulevards to provide an unintended obstacle course for people walking their pets. At least Rover now has a more convenient target when he lifts his leg. (Note: If you want to remove these low-lying signs, make sure you are wearing gloves.) And then of course we have the political signs that magically appear mere hours after an election is called. Volunteers from the political parties spring into action to wallpaper every available green space and intersection with signage of all shapes advertising their candidate of choice. The practice is as impressive as it is insulting. Do the strategists for these parties actually believe that Joe Bagadonuts driving along in his car will see the array
of signs and think, “Wow, look at those signs. By golly, if that candidate can put up 350 signs in a two-block stretch of King George Boulevard, just imagine how hard he/she will work for me in Ottawa/Victoria/city hall?” The plethora of signage, advertising banners, flags, inflatable critters, dancing windsocks and other eyesores of their ilk has not escaped the attention of Surrey city officials. The signage bylaw was amended last fall and recently Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne drew attention to the changes. The new regulations are on the books, but they are not being enforced until businesses are made aware of the changes. Hayne cited a desire to clean up the city by removing ugly signs of all sorts, from the roadside eyesore to the advertising
ghettos that are plastered on the windows of some business establishments. The motives for the changes are pure, but they may not always be as enforceable as the city hopes. Crews can clear the signs off public property and the poles along the roadside, but the temporary signs, the mobile billboards and giant balloon animals may not be so easy to address. By the time the city has the offending signs removed, the signage will have already served its purpose. One last thing to make note of: 2014 is a civic election year in Surrey. We trust that Hayne and the rest of the Surrey First team will keep their own bylaw in mind when they’re out campaigning for re-election. Michael Booth can be reached at mbooth@ thenownewspaper.com

Pancho’s welcomes tribute acts Live Local and
Les Redekopp, longtime owner of Pancho’s Top 40 Rock Club in Whalley, has been a major supporter of live music in Surrey over the last few decades. Now he’s booking a wider variety of acts – rock ‘n’ roll, disco, reggae, country and more – to give more musicians a place to perform. (Photo: JACOB ZINN)

Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn
WHALLEY — When Les Redekopp started Pancho’s Top 40 Rock Club with a friend, he agreed to run it for two years before pursuing other ventures. “We get in here, and all of a sudden, he decides he doesn’t want to do it,” he recalled. “He didn’t know the hectic things you had to do. He just thought you came in and partied every night. “He got out and here I am 24 years later.” Redekopp was no stranger to the nightclub industry at that point: he was part owner of the Scottsdale Inn for five years and ran Casablanca’s in New Westminster from 1973 to 1987. But the country bar he started in Whalley has changed over the last quarter-century, with Redekopp bringing in a variety of acts to meet the tastes of different audiences. “It’s rock, top 40, whatever the crowd wants,” he said. “It draws different people, and if you get 10 per cent of those people that come out to come back to your club, you’re a winner.” Pancho’s is a longstanding supporter of live music in Surrey, offering a stage for local bands to perform, as well as jam nights for guys who want to play in a casual atmosphere. Now Redekopp is ramping up his venue’s live entertainment, mixing in burlesque, disco and other forms of performance – as well as tribute artists. “A couple years ago, people said, ‘We should get these tribute acts,’ so I started looking at where to get them,” said Redekopp, adding that he always wanted a solid homage to AC/DC. “These guys in Bon Red, they approached me, and I said, ‘Well
sure, why not?’” Bon Red – which covers only the Bon Scott era of AC/DC’s discography – is headlining a show at Pancho’s on Saturday, March 22. The band is made up of a four heavy hitters in Canadian music: Tony Walker (The Real McKenzies), Rod Bruno (Matthew Good Band), Don Binns (Sons of Freedom) and Pat Steward (Odds, Bryan Adams and a boatload of other groups across the nation). “There’s not any good rock going on anymore,” said drummer Steward. “There’s lots of good indie rock and a lot of banjos and mandolins and that – and that’s good – but I like rock.” The idea for Bon Red came from Walker, and Steward just happened to come along when they needed a drummer. “I said, ‘I’d love to do something like,’ because I’d been driving around for eight months going, ‘I got to find a couple guys
who want to just learn a bunch of these songs and maybe we can play some shows,’” said Steward. “There’s a couple of early AC/DC records that really get me stoked, and they have some ingredients that I need for my rock dietary intake.” He noted that most of the songs they perform are off AC/DC’s fifth studio album, 1978’s Powerage – and rather than playing the biggest hits of the Australian rock ‘n’ roll juggernaut, the four guys in Bon Red perform more B-sides and rarities. “We’re not interested in ‘Highway to Hell,’ mostly because you’ve heard it so much,” said Steward. Opening for Bon Red is Man the Wolf, an original riff rock trio along the lines of Soundgarden and Queens of the Stone Age. Despite two of the three members being Surreyites, this will be the band’s first show in the city, although they’ve performed all
over Vancouver at venues like the Rickshaw Theatre and Joe’s Apartment. “There are a lot more options there and we have some friends in other bands that helped us out to get shows and it was always in Vancouver,” said guitarist Cliff Thiessen, noting that Pancho’s is helping to fill the need for performance spaces in Surrey. “Someone’s got to start making a scene – when you start to get a bit of a buzz, that’s when people start showing up all the time and regularly wanting to come back.” Likewise, Redekopp and the guys in Bon Red are hoping new and old fans will pack the 350-person Pancho’s, located at 10768 King George Blvd. behind the Flamingo Motor Hotel, on Saturday night – and that the crowds will keep coming back. Man the Wolf takes the stage at 9 p.m., followed by Bon Red. To hear Man the Wolf, check out their website manthewolf.ca or buy their six-song EP on iTunes.

The Bard’s enduring appeal continues this spring ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
T
he words and works of William Shakespeare are wildly popular. Born on April 16, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616 at the age of 52. Or, at least, that is the guesswork on his lifespan. We do know that his extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems and other verses. His is a controversial life, and more has been written about his life, his works, and whether he wrote all those plays (etc.) than the body of work attributed to him. Well, whatever. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Ahh. All the world’s a stage as the Bard (perhaps) wrote. He actually began his career as an actor in London somewhere between 1585 and 1592. And, although he was a respected playwright and actor in his own day, it really wasn’t until the 19th century that Shakespeare was idolized by the Victorians. His popularity has not waned in the 20th and this part of the 21st century. There is no doubt that the writings of William Shakespeare have profoundly affected the English language. To me, it no longer really matters who did or did not write all those plays. The important part is that they were written, performed and preserved. And right here in our own part of the world, we are almost Victorian in our love affair with the Bard of Avon. Bard on the Beach in Vancouver is wildly successful, and Beach House Theatre has brought the Bard to White Rock Beach for two (or is it now three) sold-out-every-night seasons. Bard in the Valley has been playing to interested audiences in Langley parks for many a summer. This year,

Prevent COLDS & FLUS
#51
NPN 80036946. To helps immune function. The only cold medicine with a money-back guarantee. Four medical doctors that wrote in their book SHARK LIVER OIL that you can prevent colds and flus. Dr. Hubert wrote since his own high-school age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read many testimonials on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a by-product from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage. < No more colds, also my eczema disappeared! Last 2 years I would get colds often due to stress as I am an athlete and body builder. After starting Bell Shark Liver Oil #51 I had no more colds or even a sign of a cold.

African plant base that has the ability to inhibit virus replication in our bodies. By shutting the replication down, the virus becomes inactive and therefore is not causing the body further harm. May help with HIV. Truthful statements from real people: <Registered Nurse’s discovery! I’m happy to have made the discovery that if I feel the first signs of a cold or flu like symptoms, I take Virux Viral Infection. It stops it right away. This product has been a great alternative. We know allopathic medicine does not have a cure for viruses, but nature does, using God’s pharmacy is the way to go. Janna Dodds, 45, Clifford, ON <First product that worked! I have been getting cold sores a number of times a year and spent a fortune on many products that did not help me. Your Bell Virux Viral #42 Infections helped me so much. I love it. Shannon B. Evans, 40, Panama City Beach, FL <No more cold sores, no more colds! My kids had colds and when I felt a cold coming on as well I started taking Bell Virux Viral Intections and the cold stayed away. Another great bonus about this product is I haven’t had a cold sore after I started taking it. I was getting them so often and now they stopped. Thanks a tonne! Carrie Shoonbaert, 32, Deloraine, MB

NPN 80035385. 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#63 repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. <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! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB <Best natural medicine I ever took! First day of using the Bell Stem Cell Activator my energy levels were way up. No more afternoon slump. A friend stopped me asking me what I was using on my skin. My pain in my hip is gone. My pants got looser. Christine Blythe, 54, Hamilton, ON 100% Truthful testimonials with full name and towns.

Actors wishing to audition are asked to arrive at the Douglas Park Recreation Centre on Sunday, March 30 at 1 p.m. or on Monday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. to hear an outline of the production, performance expectations,

Works also for sciatica…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks #1 are caughtfor their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

and everyone is welcome to come on out. More info? Contact producer Diane Gendron at info@bardinthevalley. com. Director is Darcy J. Knopp. Rehearsals will mostly be Sundays and Monday evenings and performances are in July and early August. To be or not to be, is the question that can only be answered if you William Shakespeare show up for auditions. New Westminster’s Vagabond Players are using a Shakespeare spoof as their next production. It’s called Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), and poses the question, what if Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies were actually comedies? Here is the concept: Lovelorn academic Constance Ledbelly is convinced that they are. What’s more, she believes she knows the source of the plays. But after devastating disappointments in love and academia, she is transported into the Bard’s world of Othello and Romeo & Juliet, where she finds herself sending his stories in new directions. However, although she saves Desdemona and Juliet from their scripted deaths, their lives shoot off into directions that Constance had never envisioned. With an abundance of twists, fights, seductions and wild surprises, Constance engages in a truly hilarious Elizabethan tale of self-discovery. Every moment is a delicious frolic through time and space. Directed by Michael Parker, the show runs April 3 to 19, Thursday to Saturday with Sunday matinees. Tickets are only $15, reserve at 604-521-0412 or book online at reservations@ vagabondplayers.ca. This just might be a witty and engaging comedy of Shakespearean errors, and not to be missed. It even comes with a warning of some coarse language. Now it’s time for us to part. Places to go, shows to see. After all, the world is mine oyster. Whatever that means. But I do know that parting is such sweet sorrow. melminty@telus.net

ARTS & LIFE Event preview
Magic (Matthew) Johnson to wow North Delta kids NORTH DELTA — Matthew Johnson is a man of many talents – at least, when it comes to magic. The world-renowned magician does a variety of styles of magic, including street magic, mind reading and mentalism. But this Sunday, the Children’s Entertainer of the Year is bringing his kid-friendly show to North Delta for a performance at the Firehall Centre for the Arts. Who knows? Maybe he’ll inspire a youngster the same way he looked up to local magic artists as a kid. “I’m born and raised in the U.K., and when I was about 11 years old, a friend of mine got some magic tricks,” he said. “There was a local magician called Paul Daniels who
Saturday, April 12
was really famous on TV in England and he had put out a line of tricks.” While his friend soon grew bored of the tricks, Johnson latched onto the art of illusion and started honing his craft as he became a teenager. “My mom and dad hired a magician for my brother and sister’s birthday party, and I’d already practised a couple of tricks,” he said. “At the end of the show, my sister stood up and said, ‘My brother does magic,’ and (the magician) kind of took me under his wing and told me about a local magic shop in the city.” For the rest of his teen years, Johnson could be found in that magic shop every Saturday, learning new tricks and techniques.
When he moved from Britain to British Columbia, Johnson brought his bag of tricks across the pond and has since made a career out of sleight of hand. Magic has taken him to places all over the world, including Japan, Australia, Argentina, Wales, Denmark and, most recently, Dubai. Like all of his acts, Johnson’s children’s set is sure to grab the attention of everyone in the room over the course of the 45-minute show in North Delta. “My emphasis is more based on comedy and quirkiness and the fact that it’s really visual and colourful,” he said. “It’s great for all ages – it’s like a good Disney movie. There’s a whole bunch of jokes that go over the kids’ heads for the adults, and vice versa.”
The show starts at 2:30 p.m. and mixes in juggling, dancing and music with the rest of his performance. For Johnson, the show is a welcome break from touring internationally. “I’m just looking forward to coming back – it’s been years since I’ve performed in North Delta,” he said. “For me, it’s just a thrill to take time out of my travelling schedule to come and do a show where I kind of started when I first arrived about 16 years ago.” Tickets for this Sunday’s show are $5, though kids age one and under get in for free. The Firehall Centre for the Arts is located at 11489 84th Ave., North Delta. For more information, visit deltaartscouncil.ca. Jacob Zinn

Heads: you get a worse recycling program. Tails: you get to pay more for it.
The BC Government is proposing to offload the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efficient program that costs taxpayers less. Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess. The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profits will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC. And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper, or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you. How much more? Well, nobody’s saying. Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?” It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?

AT HOME Décor
Splash your rooms with colour and patterns Are you all about neutrals when it comes to home décor? Style icon and awardwinning fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi encourages home owners to get inspired by their surroundings. “Let the blooming flowers of spring inspire you to incorporate pattern and colour into your home,” he suggests. “Don’t be afraid to take a risk, you might love the result. For example, I love mixing prints, my den is a mixture of floral and stripes.” The best way to introduce colour and pattern is to start small. Check out these simple and stylish ways to dress up any home: Start from the ground up – A colourfully patterned rug instantly brightens any room. Work from that rug, whether complementing or contrasting it, for a balanced and complete look. Keep it comfy – Both functional and stylish, throw pillows add a fun splash of colour to a room. Stay artsy – A colourful painting can transform any room. Hang it above a fireplace, sofa, credenza/sideboard, or a bed
Spring flowers can be an inspiration for sprucing up your home’s décor. to help create a focal point in a room. Accessorize, accessorize – Accent pieces finish the look of a room. “Add flowers, candles and even a Kleenex tissue box as a finishing touch,” says Mizrahi. His contribution to the brand can be seen at www.Kleenex.com/style. Love it before you buy it – Above all, choose things you love. “If you don’t love it, don’t buy it,” says Mizrahi. “The best rule of thumb is to surround yourself with things that make you happy in your home.”

AT HOME Maintenance
Spring DIY inspection tips for Surrey homeowners As owner of A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections here in Surrey, I know that the simplest efforts can sometimes make the biggest impact and there are dangers that can come if routine maintenance checks are not made around your home. As spring approaches and the summer season is just around the corner, now is a great time to check some
important places in your home. The difference between spending a couple of minutes inspecting around the house, apartment or yard, compared to not spending the time, can be tens of thousands of dollars. As the rainy spring season approaches, we’ll be dealing with a lot more precipitation and potential home issues that come with a fair amount of rain. Over time, the elements wear at the materials that make up our homes and their foundations.

For that reason, try out these timely do-it-yourself tips to help you avoid making costly mistakes: 1. Check and replace damaged caulking and weatherstripping around windows and doorways, including the doorway between the garage and the house. Making sure everything is properly sealed prevents moisture, which can cause damage and mould, from getting into the house. Replacing damaged caulking also helps improve your home’s energy efficiency. To do this, use a putty knife to remove any of the old caulk. It is imperative to make sure all old caulking is removed for proper adhesion. Once removed, clean the area with alcohol or a non-solvent cleaner. You’re going to want to make sure you’re using a caulk designed for exterior use, usually labelled door and window. Squeeze out a line of caulk, then wet your finger to smooth it out and get a nice, clean edge. All of the supplies needed for this DIY inspection and fix can be picked up at any local hardware store. 2. Examine all your roof flashings, such as those at chimney and roof joints, for any signs of cracking or leakage. Most leaks aren’t noticed until there has been significant damage done. Periodic roof inspections are an inexpensive way to catch something before it becomes a major problem. Simply look on your ceiling and in your attic for any water stains. If you can catch it early, your fix will be much cheaper. If you see anything that seems a cause for concern, contact a licensed roofer. 3. Check for any holes in exterior cladding that could be an entry point for water or small pests, such as birds, squirrels and insects. Depending on what the exterior of your home is made of, there are different solutions. Typically, you’ll be filling in the holes or cracks, then painting over to finish the project. For homes with vinyl siding, use a caulk that is designed for siding, and find the correct colour. For wood siding, fill holes with wood putty, then repaint. 4. Check gutters and downspouts to make sure they are clear of debris. It is important that your home’s gutters are secure to the fascia (so they are not hanging down). Homeowners also want to make sure downspouts are connected to the gutter and secure to the house all the way down to the ground. You will also want to check that the leader extensions connected to the gutter help water flow at least four to six feet away from the house. Also, you’ll want to check your gutter’s clean-outs – some gutter systems have these installed in the downspouts, others have them installed in the perimeter of the foundation (for example, white caps near the foundation of the house at the ground level).

CRESCENT BEACH — The Beach House Theatre Society is looking for the next Shakespeare, and they think he or she could still be in high school. For the third year in a row, the theatre group is giving away a scholarship to a Grade 11 or 12 student currently attending high school in Surrey. The scholarship, increased this year to $500, is open to any junior or senior who is involved in performing arts at their school. “We’re not only passionate about theatre and our work in theatre, but also education,” said BHTS artistic director Candace Radcliffe. “We just thought that it would be an excellent opportunity to use our project for mentorship.” Actors aren’t the only ones who are eligible – students with experience in stagecraft, directing or theatre

The winning student will also earn the opportunity to parcipate in a mentorship program with an industry leader during the society’s run of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, from Aug. 12 to 17. “We want very much for the scholarship winner to be someone who will come and work with us and shadow the professionals that we have on our team in putting the show together,” said Radcliffe. Radcliffe, who also runs the theatre department at Earl Marriott Secondary, said many of the previous scholarship winners have found careers in theatre, both onstage and behind the scenes. “We’re really proud of any hand that we’ve had in helping them along,”
Radcliffe said. Interested students may fill out the application form at beachhousetheatre. org. Applicants are asked to outline their contributions to their school’s drama programs, describe their post-secondary and career plans, and explain how they would benefit from the apprenticeship opportunity. In addition, students must supply a reference letter from a school staff member, which will assist the society in making its final decision. The deadline for scholarship applications is April 15 at 4 p.m. The scholarship will be awarded during the run of The Comedy of Errors. The society is also looking for interns who “are good communicators and excited about performing arts and customer service.” The application is available on the BHTS’s website, www.beachhousetheatre.org, and the deadline is May 15. jzinn@thenownewspaper.com

Pegasus completes climb out of relegation zone Michael Booth
Now staff Twitter @boothnow
Reports of a giant, 10-ton gorilla wandering around Newton were no cause for alarm last weekend. The beast is searching for a new home after ICST Pegasus shook the ape off their collective backs with a critical 2-0 win over Croatia in the club’s final game of the VMSL premier season. The victory meant more than just three points in the standings as it delivered the Horsemen from relegation zone purgatory and assured them of a spot in the VMSL’s premier tables for another season. “That was massive, just massive,” said Pegasus manager Paul Sandhu. “It takes a huge weight off of our shoulders. We are
now safe; we’re good. That win solidified our spot in the premier division for next year. It’s hard to say we enjoyed finishing in 10th place because that’s not normally something we strive for, but this season we’ll take it. With the team we have now, hopefully we can take a serious run at the Imperial Cup and then, if we get in, at the Provincial Cup.” After struggling for most of the first half of the campaign, Pegasus found themselves at the bottom of the standings at the beginning of February and facing the very real possibility that they would call the first division home in the fall. With their backs to the wall and new coach Paul Bahia calling the shots, the Horsemen have played their best soccer of the season. In their last three games, all must-win encounters, Pegasus has nabbed
all nine points available while outscoring their opponents 11-1. In Sunday evening’s capper against Croatia at Newton Athletic Park, took control right from the opening whistle as Azad Palani netted his first goal of the season less than five minutes after play commenced. Palani liked the feeling so much he scored again three minutes into the second half before the Pegasus defence took over for the remainder of the contest. With their fate for next season decided, the Horsemen will now turn their attention to earning a berth in the Provincial Cup. Most 10th place teams have no chance of making an appearance in the annual soccer showcase, but the Pegasus revival coincided neatly with the beginning of the Imperial Cup playdowns. Pegasus is undefeated in
that competition and will play Columbus in Imperial Cup semifinals Saturday at 4 p.m. at Trillium Park in Vancouver. The two finalists in the Imperial Cup are guaranteed a spot in the Provincial Cup tourney so the Horsemen are once again in a win-or-go-home situation. “This is the biggest game of the year for us; it’s do or die,” Sandhu said. “Win and we’re in, lose and we’re done and our season’s over. We know what is at stake and we’re going to leave everything on the field. The boys are all really positive about themselves right now. They feel good and they’ve been working hard. Even when we were struggling, the guys all worked hard in training and they never gave up. They believed in themselves and they got themselves out of this mess.”

Surrey United advances to League Cup final Surrey United is cranking up the offence at just the right time. The 10-time provincial champions extended their winning streak to six games with a convincing 5-0 road win over the North Shore Renegades in League Cup knockout play Sunday. Surrey has outscored their opponents 24-2 during the streak, and 9-2 in their last two matches. “We’ve been filling the net pretty good the last few games,” said United manager Albert Stewart. “We’re playing really well and we have the added bonus of players on the sidelines for substitution too. That’s huge for us right now because we haven’t had it all season. We played so many games this year shorthanded with no subs and now when we have three or four players available on the side, it makes all the difference in the world.” Against North Shore, the Cloverdale women scored early and often, building a 30 halftime lead and then cruising to the win. Katie Thorlakson, Ally Benes and Caitlin Young each tallied once in the opening 45 minutes before Eva Caldieri and Nicole Stewart closed out the win with second-half markers.
Surrey currently trails North Shore by a single point in the Metro Women’s Soccer League standings, but has one game in hand. Unfortunately, the untimely snow days earlier this month is putting the squeeze on teams to complete their schedule in time for the beginning of the Provincial Cup tourney next month. Surrey has four games remaining, plus the League Cup final on March 30 against Richmond in Burnaby. Albert Stewart said the uncertainty surrounding the schedule made Sunday’s win over North Shore even more important. “It was an important game for us because we are really close with them in the standings,” he said. “If North Shore takes first place in the league, then they get the top seed for the Provincial Cup. Whoever wins the League Cup gets the second seed so if we can get either the league title or the at least the League Cup, it positions us well for the Provincial Cup.” United can put pressure on North Shore with a league win Sunday (March 23) against Fraser Valley. Game time is 10 a.m. at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

MDX
It’s the backbone of the company, the real flagship of the brand BY BRENDAN McALEER
Environment

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer
The NSX! The NSX! Type “Acura” into the old Google-ometer and you’d think Honda’s upscale brand had invented teleportation. In a way, they sort of have, with a new half-hybrid sports car that promises to resurrect one of the most beloved performance badges of the 1990s. The problem is, as shiny and fast as the upcoming sports car might be, it’s just not important. Mid-engine supercars are neat, and I certainly look forward to not actually being allowed to drive the thing (and possibly being told to stop licking its paintwork), but they’re not the kinds of cars Acura sells in any number. This seven-seat machine is. Totally new for 2014, the Acura MDX is a vehicle that will more directly affect everyone’s lives, not least those of the folks working in the Acura dealership. It’s the backbone of the company, the real flagship of the brand. It’s the heavy lifter that carries that Acura banner into the battle for sales – where excellence really counts.
Design
As far as that whole “totally new” thing goes, you might not really have noticed the changes. Let’s walk through them together. Up front, the MDX retains the beaky prow of a robotic snapping turtle, but now it’s a robot with eyes formed of LEDs. They’re not just the year-round Christmas lights that Audi first popularized either: these clustered “Jewel Eyes” actually work slightly better than regular xenon headlights, and run cooler than the more conventional projector headlamps. They also give the MDX something of an insectoid look, but it’s the sole rough edge on a smoothed-over shape that does everything it can to be inoffensive. Bulging fender flares, plasticized wheel-arches, and big chrome wheels? You won’t find those here. Instead, you get a very conventional, very conservative, handsome but anonymous shape. To my mind, it’s a bit like that line of business attire from Arc’teryx – sensible, capable, no shouting please.
As the MDX rides on an entirely new platform, you won’t be surprised to hear that things have been shuffled around inside a bit. Noticeably, width is down, giving a little less elbow room for side-by-side seating. The old car ran on the old Odyssey chassis, and was a bit more capacious. However, rear seat room is up, particularly in the third row. It’s also easier for small fry to clamber back there with a new button-operated folding system, and they have a bit more space to fill with Lego and Skylanders and what-have-you. Acura includes a pair of entertainment systems for your unruly rear-seat passengers, with a single DVD player available as part of the Technology package, and an extrawide screen on the Elite car. This can also run in splitscreen mode, meaning no squabbling over what to watch. Up front, driver and passenger get really comfortable seats, with lots of power adjustability and a little bit more lateral support than in the main Japanese rivals. Where the MDX once relied on a graphing calculator’s worth of buttons, it’s now controlled by a large touchscreen. It’s easy to use, but you wonder if they shouldn’t maybe have kept the heated seats and so forth as regular buttons.
Performance
Just like any newly released model, the MDX has even more power than before. Formerly propelled by a lusty 3.7L V6 with 300hp, the new truck now gets 290hp from a 3.5L powerplant. Wait, I must have read that wrong. Nope. This year’s MDX gets less power overall. The rationale for the mild reduction in horsepower is simple: less filling, still drives great. Acura has shaved the weight off with the new chassis, and can therefore get away with fewer horses under the hood without hurting performance. The drive is very good. While the six-speed automatic isn’t as slick as the octo-boxes in some of the Germanic competition, it does feel durable and reliable, and is plenty smooth. The V6 is frankly excellent, with plenty of power and smoothness. Passing and acceleration are not a problem at all, and you’d never notice that a few horses have been put out to pasture. Handling has also been positively affected by the reduction in mass, although the power steering has a little
too much lightness to be really sporting. Not that anything in this segment is supposed to handle like a roller-coaster, but there’s a very slight amount of play in the steering – one small way the old model was superior. The actual grip levels are great, with most of the credit going to Acura’s comedy-named Super Handling All-WheelDrive. This provides not just good handling, but super handling. It says so right in the owner’s manual. Despite being quite large, though nimbler than the old vehicle, the MDX’s trick torque-vectoring rear axle can shunt power to an outside wheel, helping rotate it through a corner. You’ll hardly be burning up the back roads on the school run, but the system is very good in the wet, and should help bring a little extra driver confidence behind the wheel if the weather turns snowy.
Features
One way Acura tries to entice you away from the prestige associated with a BMW roundel or a three-pointed MercedesBenz star is by bundling features together in easy to understand groupings. The MDX comes in four flavours spanning from just under $50K to $65K, and they all make sense. Just the basic luxuries (and you even get a heated steering wheel as standard)? That’s simply the MDX. Need navigation to get where you’re going? That’s the MDX Navi. The top level Elite trim is incredibly well-equipped, with everything from the aforementioned split-screen DVD to satellite navigation, to ventilated seats, to a 12-speaker surround sound system. It’s also outfitted with several safety systems including a surround-view camera to assist in parking, and a collision warning and lane-keeping system. Fuel economy has improved as a result of the weightloss, with official ratings now set at 7.7L/100kms highway and 11.2L/100kms city. Expect city mileage to be slightly higher, but the highway mileage is just-achievable with careful driving.
