SURREY — Controversy is blowing in the wind as preparations are underway for the 2014 Surrey Fusion Festival. Derrick Whiteskycloud, a Métis elder and representative of the Mechif Historical and Cultural Preservation Society, says he was told by a City of Surrey employee that countries would not be allowed to fly their flags at this year’s grand entry parade. “I’m proud of who I am. I’m proud of being a citizen of Canada. I’m proud of being Métis. I’m not going to have any mayor tell me I can’t fly my flag,” said Whiteskycloud. The annual Surrey Fusion Festival is held at Holland Park at the corner of King George Boulevard and Old Yale Road. It will run July 19 and 20 and is billed as the “ultimate celebration of music, food & culture.” Last week, Whiteskycloud, who helps run the Métis pavilion at the festival, attended what he called a “private meeting” with a city employee. He was told the Canadian flag would be the only one flying during the grand entry – which is a change from previous years. When he asked why, he was told there was an altercation between two countries at the 2013 event so a decision was made by Mayor Dianne Watts to not fly flags. He did not know which two countries had the dispute. “We have that right to carry our flags and Dianne Watts has no say in the matter. If two countries cannot get along, separate them,” he said. For Whiteskycloud, the representation of the Métis flag is a national and cultural symbol that civic officials should not be

I’m not going to have any mayor tell me I can’t fly my flag. When we carry our flags in, we are proud of representing our country, we are proud of representing our nation,” he said. Laurie Cavan, general manager of parks recreation and culture with the City of Surrey, would not confirm if any decisions about flags had been unfurled. “I’m not sure where he would have gotten that information. We are still in the planning phases of our welcoming and our kickoff on the Saturday,” Cavan said.
She disputed Whiteskycloud’s comment about a conflict happening in 2013 and said there were “no altercations at our festival so I really can’t comment on that.” Cavan did note that “we all know that there are different situations around the world and sometimes people bring those to their home country of where they are residing and it is not our intention to engage or get involved in those situations.” Asked if there is any debate about participants being allowed to fly their flags during the grand entry, Cavan said “we’re still in the planning phases of that.” Whiteskycloud, however, stands by what he was told and plans to fly the Métis flag as he has in previous years. “I’m not a person who looks for problems. I’m a person who wants fairness and liberty. We all have that right to fly our flags in Canada, it’s a free country.” Watts could not be reached for comment. matt@mattlaw.ca

ENGAGE Children’s Festival
Surrey fest roars
A
dinosaur went on a rampage inside a tent filled with kids in Surrey last Saturday – well, kind of. In fact, it was a big dinosaur puppet that strutted its stuff at Surrey International Children’s Festival, as part of the Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo show on the final day (May 24) of the threeday festival. The fun, interactive show, brought here from Australia, was a hit with children and adults alike at the 10th annual festival. Photographer Gord Goble was there, as was the Now’s Tom Zillich, who captured the action on video when the show’s largest creature went on a walkabout, with its handlers nearby.

How the Komagata Maru
100 YEARS LATER: STORY BY KELSEY KLASSEN
A
s the Vancouver shoreline became a thin line of reality in the early light of May 23, 1914, the 376 South Asian passengers aboard the Komagata Maru readied themselves to be received. Bags packed, some donned their finest western suits while others smoothed the wrinkles out of old military uniforms with pride. Jubilant smiles creased their sea-weary faces; they had just sailed for two months across the Pacific to a better life in Canada, and, within a few hours, it was set to begin. But those men would be labelled by Canadian politicians as unwanted and by early history as naive. Most of the men would never be allowed off the boat.
Naveen Girn has helped bring the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru voyage to life, by curating a series of exhibits
Now known as one of the darkest days in Canadian history, the Komagata Maru’s arrival was a spectacle for Vancouverites. Pleasure craft flocked to the harbour to inspect and ridicule the “Hindoo” invaders while the passengers’ resources and morale dwindled. Conditions on board rapidly became dire. Only 20 passengers who already had resident status or the requisite funds were allowed to disembark and join the small Sikh community that had been growing in Kitsilano since 1897. While their fates could be considered lucky compared to the more than 350 who were forced to languish in Burrard Inlet for two months before being escorted away by gunboat (onlookers expressed disappointment that the ship wasn’t “blown up” upon departure), or the 19 “suspected seditionists” who would be killed in a shootout with British authorities upon return to India, the landed immigrants faced an uncertain future spent fighting for every

changed Canada Surrey exhibits help reclaim a chapter of Canada’s racist past That they and their descendants were eventually successful is part of what makes the Komagata Maru more than just a South Asian story, says Komagata Maru 1914-2014: Generations, Geographies and Echoes project manager Naveen Girn. Girn, 34, grew up in Vancouver unaware of the battle that had raged so many decades earlier. Only one day of the curriculum at his high school was dedicated to minority histories: the Chinese head tax, Japanese internment and the Komagata Maru. It wasn’t until a history class at SFU that he learned the true extent of this South Asian legacy, and he is among a large number of Indo-Canadians interested in expanding what we know about its impact. There was little formal record of early South Asian life in Canada, so Girn began tracking down and preserving what little remained. As he researched, the ridges and whorls of the South Asian fingerprint embedded in presentday society rose very clearly into view. “The Komagata Maru links so strongly to other narratives,” he says softly over the phone. “Stories of female immigration, of trying to get the right to vote, of citizenship rights or labour histories, of arts and culture organizations. It all stems from this story.” Around the time of the First World War, Vancouver was a city trying to define itself. At the political level, B.C. was being cordoned off as a white man’s province, but at the grassroots level, years before multiculturalism became a Pierre Trudeau buzzword, there was an established practice of Chinese, Japanese, South Asian and First Nations building communities together. Girn explains with awe how, in Punjabi, there is a word for First Nations that exists only in the Vancouver vernacular and is based around the term for ‘cousin,’ born out of the two groups working and living side by side. Girn also recalls an article in the Hindustanee at the turn of the last century that stated the best restaurants in Vancouver were Chinese restaurants, because, unlike the ones in Gastown, they didn’t discriminate against South Asian patrons. Vancouver was also the site of North America’s first Sikh gurdwara, or temple, located at Burrard and 2nd and surrounded by South Asian

Raghavendra Rao’s acrylic-on-canvas painting “Visions of the living past 10”is featured in the exhibit “Ruptures in Arrival: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru,” on view at Surrey Art Gallery until June 15.
North America was in fact performed there between Munsha Singh Sheanh, a Punjabi pioneer, and Annie Wright, his English tutor. But most of what historians could discern of this vibrant, wholly masculine community (there were only two landed South Asian women documented between 1898 and 1914) was gleaned from dry government surveillance reports, land documents and archival newspaper clippings. “There is this large silence,” says Girn. “Trying to find South Asian stories in libraries or university archives, there’s not much there.” Hugh Johnston, the professor who taught Girn, was one of the first historians to recognize the importance of the Komagata Maru. Revised for the centenary of the Komagata Maru incident, the opening pages of his book The Voyage of the Komagata Maru: The Sikh Challenge to Canada’s Colour Bar explain how Punjabi immigrants “received far more attention and generated far more public anxiety than their numbers warranted.” Their presence in the west was the subject of vicious objection, from local media to the highest levels of government. The anti-Asian riots of 1907, sparked by the imminent arrival of a CPR ship carrying 901 Punjabi immigrants, prompted the creation of
law that would ultimately block the passengers of the Komagata Maru. “The rioters didn’t go after Punjabis because there were practically none in town,” Johnston says of the clash that would leave considerable damage to Chinese and Japanese property, “but that was the background. That riot impressed [Prime Minister Wilfrid] Laurier particularly. He thought it was going to give the West Coast a bad reputation and turn people and money away.” The Canadian government solved the immigration problem by halting it entirely. “After 1908, no one was allowed in,” Johnston explains. That decision was pivotal for the Indian immigrants who had previously enjoyed easy entry, as members of the community on both sides of the ocean immediately began working towards reversing it. It was one of the motivating factors for Gurdit Singh. By chartering the Komagata Maru, the wealthy Punjabi was attempting to set the precedent that British citizens were free to travel anywhere in the Commonwealth. “Simply put,” says Johnston, “they wanted to come through the front door.” It was an ambition he categorizes as dangerously misinformed, but the voyage still stands as the most “dramatic challenge to Canadian immigration
ore than 16 exhibits and events have been curated to honour the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru. Here are the Surrey events: ❚ Ruptures in Arrival: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru: A cross-section of visual art related to this history, alongside art that addresses more recent histories of mass migration from Asia to Canada’s West Coast. On until June 15 at Surrey Art Gallery. ❚ Echoes of the Komagata Maru: The social story of the Komagata Maru, with images, sound and video, until July 12 at Surrey Museum.

immigrant group.” The facts remain the same, but Johnston emphasizes the significance of the challenge more now than he did in his first edition of Voyage, written 35 years ago. “They kept (at it) by petition, by sending eminent people to Ottawa on their behalf; they didn’t ever quit trying to get a full place here. And it took a long, long time. But all the way through you can see the community’s effort.” Within minutes the gifted storyteller has laid out the impact of the Komagata Maru: By the 1920s, South Asians had succeeded in bringing their wives over; they achieved amnesty for illegal immigrants, who made up nearly 40 per cent of the population, in 1939; the right to vote was granted in 1947; then, in 1951, came the first quota for immigration. Perhaps the biggest impact can be seen in the current size of B.C.’s IndoCanadian population – 274,065 as of 2011. “It was extremely small when I started this research,” Johnston says. “When I came to Vancouver in 1968, there couldn’t have been more than 12,000 in B.C. History is about the winners; about people who are dominant. At the time of the Komagata Maru, the tiny South Asian population lost. But they only lost temporarily.

ill C-13, the Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act, is the latest Tory Trojan horse that would undermine citizens’ privacy rights under the guise of protecting us from online evil. Who wouldn’t want to do away with child pornographers, cyber bullies and vile websites like The Dirty? The problem is only a tiny portion of the bill is actually aimed at such legitimate concerns. The vast majority of it is instead aimed at legitimizing police and government snooping through our private information – without any oversight. Search warrants exist for a reason.

Under the provisions of the online crime bill, however, Internet service providers could hand over anything requested by authorities — without a search warrant or even a record. There are those who make the argument that they have nothing to hide, so such laws don’t concern them. But hands up those who’d like the state to have access to everything they’ve plugged into a search engine in the past month? Every email they’ve sent to friends or website they’ve visited? Admittedly, Canadians already give up a lot of privacy willingly. They trade use of “free” sites like Facebook and Google for their information. But a year after Edward Snowden’s revelations about massive online surveillance were made public, the fact remains citizens should have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a free country – including online. Anything less is a move down the slippery slope to Big Brother’s surveillance state. Glacier Media

Newton continues to be neglected The Editor, After the recent spotlight on Newton, things are back to the same old, same old. The neglect that this area of Surrey is subjected to can only mean that it is not home to anyone on Surrey Council. Take a look at its major road medians, 72nd Avenue for one. The grass is often overdue for a mow, the edges are spilling over the medians and the boulevards are crying out for some maintenance. While the medians and boulevards in South Surrey get adequate maintenance during the growing season, this has not been the case for Newton. The neglect by the city has made this
part of Surrey attractive to the wrong type of human element. J.D. Sterling, Surrey
Being a teacher is a privilege, not a right The Editor, Re: “No school Thursday in Surrey and White Rock,” the Now, May 27. In the real world if you do not like your job or your pay, you get a better job. I believe being a teacher is a great job, considering the hours worked for pay
given. Now, please remember to factor in wages for life and then a teaching position becomes one of the best jobs ever. Summer off every year, regular long weekends and you only have to really work five hours a day. To be fair, the good ones who still care work more than that. Pink slip all teachers, start fresh based on ability. Being a teacher is a privilege not a right. Sean C., South Surrey YOUR LETTERS: Email your letters to the editor to edit@thenownewspaper.com.

Allowing electronics on flights? Welcome to 21st century, Canada DotComrade Christopher Poon
G
ood news, people! Somebody in Ottawa woke up on the job and realized it’s 2014. Shocking, right? Well that means those new fangled cellphone device things are no longer that much of danger to you and everyone around you. Oh, you didn’t know? Cellphones, iPads and even Game Boys (remember those?) were apparently a danger in all flights as everyone and their mother claimed that all of the devices and more interfered with avionics. While that may have been a concern in the 1990s, you’d like to think that technology has advanced enough that they could build an airplane that wouldn’t be in danger of dropping out of the sky due to somebody using an iPhone. And in the last decade, as millions of people a year fly with the most up-to-date technology available you’d think you’d hear many more incidents about planes being interfered with, if smartphones or other devices did in fact disrupt flight instruments. Join us on Thursday, June 12
6:30 - 7:30 pm for an informative talk
So with that in mind, Transport Canada is finally allowing airline passengers to use their smartphones and whatever else during takeoff and landing. But wait! What’s this? Only in airplane mode? Yep, it’s true. While you may finally be able to have your trusty iPhone or Android device on during that eight-hour flight to the UK, you must still have it in airplane mode. Airplane mode is that nifty little feature in essentially all smartphones that disables all transmitting features, such as calling, texting and even web browsing and streaming. The feature has been around for about six years now and was specifically designed to allay concerns airlines may have about interference and the like. Good to see our transportation rules catching up with the times.
With the new rules you can basically watch movies, play games, read books and do everything else on your phone, so long as you aren’t sending or receiving a signal. That means no internet usage, including Netflix, Facebook and Twitter. Funnily enough, the announcement comes at the same time some airlines are testing out WiFi on planes, as transmitting data via laptop apparently isn’t as bad. Part of the new rules by Transport Canada means that airlines must first prove their aircrafts are not affected by electronic devices before allowing passengers to use them during the critical portions of the flight. So I guess it’s good that somebody took the half-step forward in allowing us to use our devices (albeit in a somewhat neutered way) during the 15 minutes it takes to take off and descend. It would be nice to see if Transport Canada decided to look into the bigger picture of simply using any common device at any time, and maybe introduce a blanket ban on aircrafts affected by something as simple as a smartphone. It is 2014, after all.

DEBATE Your view
Parents and governments need to put our kids first The Editor, Re: “Rodeo reveals who can parent,” the Now, May 22. How brave of Beau Simpson to write and publish this column. It is a topic that rivals the “elephant-in-the-room” mentality. It’s scary to see what’s happening to some of our young people. This scenario is all-too-real, and these are the problems our teachers face daily. There is no recourse for teachers who try to work with these troubled children – very little help, backup or support. The problems are rampant. Somehow, we have lost our compass. Education is not valued by this government – instead, the education system is being eroded. Private schools are the preferred setting for those who can pony up the tuition; as one parent told me, she wants her son to avoid the riff-raff of public schools – and she has a point. There are wonderful supportive parents, like you, who put their responsibilities as a parent first. Other parents have simply reneged on their parental responsibilities. Raising children is a shared responsibility. There are many stakeholders – the adage “it takes a village to raise a child” rings true.

Please include your full name, address and phone number for verification purposes. Somehow, we all need to set priorities and put the care and education of children at the top of the list. I have been a teacher for 36 years. I have witnessed the erosion of our schools. Sadly, this profession has been downgraded and forced to make do with less while social and economic problems rise. It’s a pressure cooker situation that desperately needs
attention. The problems you noticed at the Cloverdale rodeo are everywhere – it will take government resolve to improve the situation for our young people. As you pointed out, there are many wonderful young people who will strengthen our communities but they are outnumbered. Pointing the finger doesn’t work – we need to point the whole hand at the problems. Can we pressure our government to understand that developing citizens outweighs developing pipelines? The present governing party in our province has turned its guns on teachers – again. Who can win in a situation like this? Thank you for your timely article. Donna Walker, Surrey
Parents need to take control of their teens The Editor, Re: “Rodeo reveals who can parent,” the Now, May 22.
I was not at all surprised by the experience editor Beau Simpson had with a handful of today’s youth at the rodeo in Cloverdale. It is utterly disgusting what some kids are allowed to do at such a young age. The kids have too much freedom and not enough parenting. If your teens are not home at night after school and they don’t have a job – where are they? What are they doing and who are they hanging out with? It is absolutely disgusting how I hear some teens speaking (kids as young as 11 calling each other whores and “eff this” and “eff that” and other offensive names). And don’t get me started on what some of the girls are dressing like at the age of 12. Some parents these days need to step up and actually parent. This includes controlling their children, not letting them do whatever they want to, know who their friends are and where they are at all times. It is called parenting – plain and simple. And when kids under 19 get in trouble with the law, I believe it is absolutely the parents’ fault for not controlling and parenting their child. C. Litonjua, East Clayton

Smarten up. The owners should really educate their staff – this is unacceptable. Rotten tomatoes to people who think it’s oK for their dogs to run around on ball fields – especially during ball season. They’re not offleash parks. Show some respect to the baseball players. Rotten tomatoes to both the province and bCTF for making students and their parents pay for their childish spat. both sides need to grow up and put our kids first – and, before teachers say,”oh, but we are putting kids first,” drop your ridiculous demand for 16 per cent. Rotten tomatoes to my delta neighbour of many years. i’ve greeted you without a response for many years. i’ve seen your husband empty your garbage cans in the dumpsters behind the mall next door. My plants have disappeared after your parents were bent over admiring them. one of these days you’re going to trip while walking with your nose in the air. You were so rude to our mutual neighbour about training her dog a few days ago. i’m done with your snotty, thieving, sneaky self. You have no idea what neighbourliness means. Rotten tomatoes to the stupid guy at the Surrey Central game store who had the nerve to call my ipod Touch and my iphone 5C crap. You know, with an attitude like that you should not be working at a game store. people like you should either go back to school and become more educated or close the place down if you hate working there so much.

Julie Paskall murder
Gopaul suspected in earlier assault in Newton Man charged in Paskall murder was deemed a high risk to re-offend after Ontario conviction Matt Law and Kim Bolan
Now contributor, Sun staff
SURREY — Surrey RCMP are investigating the possibility that Yosef Jomo Gopaul, the man charged with killing 53year-old Julie Paskall, may be linked to an earlier assault in Surrey. A woman in her 20s received injuries to her face when she was attacked as she got off a bus on Dec. 16, 2013 near Newton rec centre. The public was not notified of this incident before Paskall’s attack on Dec. 29 outside Newton Arena, and some questioned why the public wasn’t informed. At the time, blogger Laila Yuile said she understands the police like to see a pattern before there’s a warning, but said this area is a “known high-crime, high-risk area in my opinion.” She said the public should have been warned. Last December, Surrey RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Bert Paquet said that at the time of the Dec. 16 assault, it was an isolated incident. “Often we will warn the public when we see a pattern with similar circumstances, or when there’s detail relevant information to provide to the public,” Paquet said. “This was not the case at the time. But based on the circumstances of last night’s crime, we are warning the public and asking them to take all steps necessary to ensure their safety.” While Gopaul, 27, has not been charged in relation to the Dec. 16 assault, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said Tuesday that police are looking at links between the assault and Paskall’s death. “We would be remiss because of some of the similarities in the two incidents
June 7, 2014 is June 7, 2014 is
Yosef Gopaul appears in Surrey provincial court on Monday. (Sketch: DON FELICITY) to not look at that to see if Mr. Gopaul was responsible for that. He has not been charged at this point,” Carr said, adding police are seeing if they can get evidence to support sending a recommendation to Crown counsel. “But we’re not there yet.” Gopaul came to Surrey from Ontario eight weeks prior to the attack that killed Paskall. Gopaul is charged with second degree murder in the death of Julie Paskall. He first appeared in Surrey provincial court Monday morning and is scheduled back in court on June 13. A man by the name of Yousef Jomo Gopaul was considered a high risk to re-offend after an Ontario conviction for attacking a woman on New Year’s Day 2010. Gopaul’s lawyer confirmed this is the same man charged with Paskall’s murder. Parole Board of Canada documents say Gopaul has gang affiliations and a “history of both drug and alcohol abuse” that was considered a factor in the early morning 2010 attack on a woman in Brampton. “Your case management team notes that you view violence as an acceptable means of dealing with problems and have demonstrated poor impulse control,” a July 2012 decision on Gopaul’s release stated.
“You appear to have difficulty considering the short and long-term consequences of your actions.” They noted he had shown little remorse or insight into the violent attack on a woman he had followed from a bar at 2:30 a.m. The victim “recalled being struck with punches and kicks and fighting back and being dragged by the hood of her jacket while she was naked from the waist down.” Gopaul pushed the woman into a frozen creek as he fled. When he was arrested a few days later, he told police he was “intending to have vaginal intercourse with the victim” and showed a “lack of remorse with respect to the harm (he) caused.” Gopaul was a difficult inmate while serving his two-year, seven-month federal sentence that ended last June. During one treatment program, he displayed “an inappropriate attitude including excessive swearing, side conversations, discussing inappropriate sexual content and glorifying drug use.” The board ordered Gopaul should remain in a halfway house even after statutory release from prison because of “(his)

extensive criminal history and threatening behavior, assessed level of risk and poor history of community supervision.” The board told Gopaul “you fall in the high end of the moderate range to reoffend.” “You also have a history of associating with negative peers and have been known to associate with members of the (blacked out name) street gang,” the document states. A psychological risk assessment from April 2011 said Gopaul is of “low average intelligence” and that his risk to re-offend was higher if he was using alcohol or drugs. The board also ordered Gopaul to report “all intimate sexual and non-sexual relationships” to his parole officer and to stay out of bars and other drinking establishments. And he was also ordered to stay away from “anyone involved in criminal activity or anyone who you may believe may be involved in criminal activity.” The board said the special conditions were “reasonable and necessary to protect society.” But on Gopaul’s first day in the halfway house, he violated his conditions by having two female visitors. He later went AWOL from the facility and was later arrested at another female friend’s home. Gopaul then had his statutory release revoked in November 2012 and was then ordered to remain inside the facility under house arrest. But on Aug. 19, 2012, he left the facility and got into an awaiting vehicle and an arrest warrant was issued. He was later found at the house of a female friend. “In light of all these factors, the board concludes that you have the potential to be a danger to others in the community,” the document states. “The board concludes that you need the monitoring, structure and support of a halfway house.” The board noted that Gopaul had been “subject to nine community supervision orders and breached those orders on seven occasions.” With files from Amy Reid

SURREY — City council unanimously denied an application for a construction waste recycling depot in Fraser Heights after residents came out dead set against the project. Some 205 residents submitted their opposition through letters and petitions, and many took to the podium during Monday’s public hearing, urging council to shoot the request down. Mainland Engineering Corporation had applied to the city to rezone a property, located at 10436 173rd Street, from Industrial Park Zone Two to Light Impact Industrial 1 Zone, in order to develop the recycling depot. Marcie Kroeker, vice president of the Fraser Heights Community Association, said the group had a flood of emails and communication from residents who strongly objected to the facility. At council Monday, she said chambers were packed with residents. The neighbourhood took several issues with the project, most notably the increased truck traffic it would bring, debris on roads, as well as health concerns related to contaminated materials. “We have children walking to school, we have pedestrians, we have bikers, we have runners, it’s a busy area, and to have that many trucks coming in and out with debris coming off of the trucks as well, it’s a concern for us.” Health concerns were top of mind, with many worried about the possibility of asbestos and other hazardous materials being brought into the neighbourhood. Kroeker said the community isn’t against recycling by any means, but didn’t think this was a suitable location for such an operation. Coun. Bruce Hayne said there was considerably more opposition than he had expected, particularly because the property was already zoned for industrial uses. “But quite frankly, the community came out and articulately stated why it’s not going to fly there,” he said Tuesday. “They had some very, very good arguments.” Coun. Tom Gill said the applicant “did an extremely poor job of communicating with the community” and was “illprepared,” noting only one public information meeting was held. Mainland Engineering did not respond by deadline.

Man dies after falling from SUV SURREY — A 23-year-old Surrey man who sustained critical head injuries after being thrown from the back of an SUV that had its tailgate down died in hospital Friday. His name has not been released. The traffic incident happened May 19th, in the 10100block of 128A Street in Whalley. Police said the SUV, driven by a 23-year-old Surrey man, accelerated quickly with three young men in the back. Two were able to hang on to the sides, but the one in the middle fell onto his head on the asphalt road. Police are still investigating and as of press time charges have not been laid.

Councillors cross picket line as talks set to resume EMAIL YOUR LETTERS USING LAYAR Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @questionchris
WHITE ROCK — The civic strike currently holding White Rock’s garbage and other services hostage is about to enter its fourth week, just as mediated talks were set to resume. The two sides would meet days after White Rock’s second council meeting during the strike, one that saw two council members cross the picket line to carry out their duties as elected officials. Coun. Grant Meyer, who opted not to cross the picket line at the May 12 council meeting decided to do so Monday after being twice denied a picket pass. Meyer, a member of the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union, said he was unsure what to do last council meeting, but after speaking with constituents and colleagues,
he made the decision to cross this time. “That first night I wasn’t able to get a hold of anyone to confirm some things and I didn’t want to take the chance to cross the line,” he said. “But I’ve spoken with a lot of people in the past few weeks and it’s a unique circumstance and pretty much everyone I talked to thinks I should be going to these meetings. “It’s an awkward situation and I’ve been very respectful of them and appreciate what they’re going through, I’ve been on strike myself and I can tell you it’s something nobody wants to do.” Fellow union member on council, Bill Lawrence, said he had no reservations about crossing the line as he felt his duty as councillor “superseded any involvement or membership in a union.” A member of the Union of BC Performers for his stunt work, Lawrence said it was his duty as a member of council to attend the meetings. “I acknowledge their (striking workers’) cause, but as a public official I have a duty to those who elected me to be able to go into a council meeting where we do discuss city matters and I represent them in those city matters,” said Lawrence.
Grant Meyer
Bill Lawrence
However, just because he crossed the picket line does not mean Lawrence isn’t feeling the effects of the strike. As a White Rock business owner and resident, Lawrence said he’s had to make adjustments to how his waste is disposed of, taking matters into his own hands. “So we’re making sure we take care of the business, we truck it out,” said Lawrence. “As a business owner we have to look at what needs to be done to keep the business moving forward.” Residents have also taken matters into their own hands, with many carting their waste out on their own. “People have been calling me and saying they’ve been making do, carpooling their garbage out to the dump with their
neighbors,” said Meyer. “People have been resourceful in figuring out a way around the strike.” And with that in mind, Meyer later brought forth notice of motion at the meeting to look into the possibility of rebating taxpayers for any money saved by the city during the strike. “Residents are paying taxes for a level of service that they’re not getting at this time so a rebate is something we should definitely be looking at,” he said. Lawrence agreed, saying it would be unfair to taxpayers to essentially charge them for a service that is not being rendered. “We don’t want them to endure the inconvenience of not having services that the city would normally be providing and then still have to pay for those services,” said Lawrence. White Rock CUPE workers began fullscale strike action on May 12 after voting 94 per cent in favour of job action in February. The workers have been without a contract since December 2011. At press time, mediated talks between CUPE 402-01 and the city were set to take place Wednesday and Friday. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com

Two Surrey men charged in bank heists SURREY — Two Surrey men have been charged in connection with a pair of sameday bank robberies along Fraser Highway. Steven Schrenk, 26, and Ryan McClinton, 30, have both been charged with two counts of robbery, and possession of a stolen auto. The bank robberies happened within 15 minutes of each other on May 22. At 11:30 a.m., a bank was robbed in the 18600-block of Fraser Highway. One suspect entered the building while the other stood outside. Fifteen minutes later, a second bank was robbed, in the 16000-block of Fraser Highway.

Girl stabbed in fight at North Delta school DELTA — A 15-year-old girl accused of stabbing another girl, also 15, at Delview secondary school on May 21 is facing charges of assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. Delta Police Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the students got into a schoolyard fight shortly after 2 p.m. “In the course of the fight, one of the girls produced a knife and stabbed the other one in the arm,” Swallow said. She said she was unable to say what the fight was over. “There’s nothing that could and should be that serious.” The stabbed teen was taken to hospital and released earlier that same night.

Teachers dispute
Surrey teachers stage ‘mark-in’ at local malls Kristi Alexandra Now contributor @kristialexandra
GUILDFORD — Teachers across Surrey staged a mass ‘mark-in’ at four local malls on Monday in response to being locked out of their respective schools within 45 minutes of beginning and ending the school day. B.C. Teachers Federation Vice-President Glen Hansman – along with Jennifer Wadge, president of the Surrey Teachers Association – supported teachers as they sat in at Guildford Town Centre’s food court doing their after-school marking. Three other malls – Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Surrey Central City Shopping Centre and Scottsdale Mall – were also mark-in sites. Emily Jansen, a teacher at Frank Hurt Secondary, sat in the Guildford food court marking homework at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. Jansen teaches seven classes over the course of a school year – the maximum a teacher is able to take on is eight. “I’m very grateful to have work,” she said. “I’m at a wonderful school.” Nonetheless, she said her average work

day begins at 7:30 a.m. and doesn’t end until about 6:30 or 7:30 p.m. She allocates her Sundays to marking as well, driving home the idea that it’s just not possible to fit in all she has to do during school hours. Fraser Heights Secondary school teacher Julia MacRae, sitting amidst a pile of English 10 and 12 essays echoed the sentiment. “Of course I’m going to mark (the students’ work),” she said incredulously, in light of the lockout which demands that the teachers don’t work outside of school hours. “But that 10 per cent wage cut, I can’t get that back.” Teachers doing work beyond 45 minutes before, during and after school hours could be risking disciplinary action, even termination. “This lockout is so disrespectful,” said MacRae. Hansman said that the dispute between the BCTF and the province has the potential to be resolved before the end of the school year. Each side has accused the other of “using students as leverage.”

City develops ‘Green Surrey’ program $65M organic biofuel facility in Port Kells to be largest of kind in Canada Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — The City of Surrey has created the “Green Surrey” program, a key piece in the environmental pillar of the city’s Sustainability Charter. The program is intended to build on existing initiatives and provide new opportunities in the areas of conservation, investment and community engagement. “Strengthening and expanding our green infrastructure is crucial to maintaining Surrey’s status as one of Canada’s most livable cities,” said Coun. Bruce Hayne, chair of the city’s environmental sustainability advisory committee. There are many projects underway, he said, including district energy in the downtown core, development of an organic biofuel facility in Port Kells and the creation of a research chair in energy systems.

“It lays out a plan of the most sensitive and most high value lands in the city that we want to identify and preserve in perpetuity.” While the city has acquired 725 acres of parkland over the last decade, Hayne said Surrey is looking at a strategy to preserve an additional 2,000 more acres of park land – 1,000 through acquisition and 1,000 through the development process. “And this isn’t parkland. This is natural land. There’s not going to be any soccer fields on this or anything like that.” Hayne said the city’s Sustainability Charter lays out “very aggressive” carbon reduction targets – 20 per cent by 2020. He said the city has many initiatives underway to help reach that goal, just one
of which has been creating electric vehicle charging stations throughout the city. There are stations at a variety of Surrey locations, including Surrey Art Gallery, Newton Seniors Centre, Guildford Library and the new city hall. The city has a fleet of electric vehicles it uses, as well. “We wanted to bring it all together under one umbrella,” Hayne said of the Green Surrey program. “Over the past eight years, we’ve had the Build Surrey program and that has gone into every community in the city with various projects – pools and rec centres and of course the new city hall. We want very much to be able to balance that with our sustainability and green initiatives. We want to have a focus on it.”

The $65-million biofuel facility will be the largest of its kind in Canada and will be able to process 80,000 metric tonnes of waste per year. It will be the only fully integrated closedloop waste management system in North America upon its completion in 2015. Organic waste collected will be processed into fuel and used to power the city’s fleet of waste collection vehicles. Hayne said the facility will produce more fuel than the city needs for its fleet, and some will be put back on the grid through FortisBC. And in City Centre, Surrey’s district energy system distributes thermal energy, in the form of steam, heated or cooled water, through a network of pipes to heat, cool and provide hot water for the City Centre Library and the new city hall. Once completed, it will do so for 3 Civic Plaza, a planned 50-storey mixeduse hotel and residential project, as well as some other towers in the area, said Hayne. And coming down the pipeline is the city’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BCS) and a Riparian Area Bylaw. Hayne said the BCS will be meaningful for the city.

Singer Rhayne aims to heal body, mind and soul in class ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
I
don’t mean to interrupt people – I just randomly remember things and get really excited. That’s a quote I got off a Facebook link. I like it. And while I can make up enough quotable quotes on my own (apparently), there is nothing like a good quote to stir the imagination and inspire action. So, here are some random things that get me excited, and pardon me if I am interrupting your day. Last Saturday evening, West Coast Tap Dance Collective presented All That Tap – an all-tap-dancing show, honouring local tap teacher Peggy Peat. Talia Derksen, one of the current teachers at Peggy Peat’s School of Dance, sent a note to WCTDC: “I just wanted to say thank you so much again for such an amazing night! It was so wonderful having so much done for honoring my grandma. We appreciate everything you’ve done so much.” Peggy, now in her 80s, has inspired

generations of tap dancers, including her granddaughter, Talia. And yes, Talia, the evening was special and inspiring. Now, as a dance teacher yourself, you are passing on the love of dance to new generations. Your note of thanks is just the “right note” needed to inspire the WCTDC to keep presenting these celebrations of tap dancing and also recognizing people who have significantly contributed to the art. It is an educational experience as well; not only did the nearcapacity audience learn more about Peggy Peat, but other heroes in the world of tap dancing. Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Dance education counts. Rhayne, a popular voice teacher and recording artist, sent me a note with a very quotable quote. It’s about me. She said, “I really admire and appreciate all the things you do to inspire the community and artists.” Well, gee whiz. Thanks. I try. If a few words here and there helps, I am in it. This year, Rhayne started a beginner vocal class at Surrey Arts Centre. Her inspirational style of teaching singing attracted an initial crowd of believers and, subsequently, a second level is now being offered. Rhayne believes that her style, method and approach

to singing can calm blood pressure, relax the mind and enhance one’s sense of well-being. Rhayne believes everyone should enjoy singing for the pure enjoyment of it, and that anyone who is inspired can learn and improve. She feels singing is healing for the body, mind and soul. Rhayne just released 14 tracks of her newly remastered album, which is now available at several online stores such as iTunes. Her music video aired on cable TV throughout Florida, while her dance tracks spin in clubs globally.

Romantic comedy caps the season for White Rock Players WHITE ROCK — Newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter (played by Becca Strom and Ryan Mooney) are central characters in Barefoot in the Park, the final play of the 201314 season for White Rock Players’ Club. The romantic comedy, written by Neil Simon, debuted on Broadway in 1963 in a production co-starring Robert Redford, who was also the leading man in the 1967 film version, which co-starred Jane Fonda. In White Rock, Marko Hohlbein directs the action, to hit the Coast Capital Playhouse stage for a three-week run starting next Wednesday, June 4. In this story, Corie is still enthralled by her recent sexual awakening and the adventure that comes with youth and marriage. She wants the couple’s passionate romantic life to continue at full speed. Paul, however, feels it is time to focus on his burgeoning career as an up-and-coming lawyer. When they don’t see eye-to-eye about their apartment, their neighbours and their sex drive, the new marriage experiences its first patch of rough weather. The play also features Raymond Hatton as Victor and Cindy Peterson as Mrs. Banks. For more show details and tickets, call 604-536-7535 or visit Whiterockplayers.ca.

On their forthcoming album, The Boom Booms are making a triumphant return to the soul and R&B sounds of their youth. Known for their world-
evolution,” says Aaron Ross, lead vocalist, of their upcoming record, Love is Overdue. “When you listen to our first full-length album, Hot Rum, that’s an album that we wrote when we were driving through Central America. So you can hear
those Latin and reggae influences. And then now, we haven’t been travelling through Latin America for the past little bit and everybody’s just been digging a lot of the soul and R&B music that we grew up on, so the sound is more in that direction.”

The Boom Booms perform Saturday, May 31 from 5 to 8 p.m., under the big tent in Lynn Valley Park, as part of Lynn Valley Days. Admission is free, with donations supporting the North Shore Disability Resource Centre (for more information, visit Lynnvalleyday.ca). Helping shape The Boom Booms’ new direction is Grammy-Award winning producer Chin Injeti, a Surrey resident they met through Vancouver’s music community. Injeti, cofounder of Bass Is Base, has worked with countless big-name artists, including Gwen Stefani, Eminem, P!nk, Pitbull, Drake, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. Typically, Ross serves as The Boom Booms’ main writer, coming up with lyrics, melodies and chords, and then taking them to band, and working on arrangements together. On this project, Ross collaborated with Injeti first. “It’s been an evolving process but we’re really stoked to be done recording,” says Ross. The album is currently being mixed in Los Angeles and they’re aiming for a summer release. When asked about lyrical content, Ross says the tracks on Love is Overdue vary in what they’re about, however the general sentiment is similar to that of gospel music. “We’re not singing about God, but it’s almost got that same community, uplifting vibe that I think that you get from gospel music,” he said. “I think that’s true of soul and R&B music, of that genre, that’s where it comes from.” In addition, writing love songs is something that continues to come easy to the East Van native, who came to music early. “We decided, a couple of buddies, when we were in fifth grade, ‘Let’s start a band and organize a talent show.’ It’s kind of funny to think about now,” he said, in light of where his musical journey has taken him. Ross became more serious about music near
Chin Injeti
the end of high school, starting to write songs again. He spent a few years travelling and tree planting and eventually got a laptop and recorded a demo of 12 songs that he distributed to friends. Ross and fellow Boom Booms members Sean Ross, Theo Vincent and Geordie Hart grew up together in East Vancouver, all students at Hastings elementary. They met Tom Van Deursen and Richard Brinkman at a tree-planting camp in Merritt, and the band was officially launched in 2008. These days, The Boom Booms are working hard rehearsing, and putting together their new live show, ensuring their songs come to life on stage and on arranging a set that takes the audience on a journey from the first song to the last song, says Ross. They’re gearing up for their East Van Summer Jam, a festival they’re organizing in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park, July 5. The event “is basically the evolution of the block parties that we’ve been throwing in our alley for the last five years up until 2012,” Ross said. “We started those as soon as we started the band. The first year was probably 50 people, we barbecued some chicken and had some beers. And then, each year it grew until in 2012 we had probably over 1,000 people, six bands, a big stage that we built and we raised $14,000 for charities.” Tickets are $20 and other featured artists include The Rascalz, The Funk Hunters and Injeti’s band, The New Royales. Proceeds will support a number of non-profit organizations, including Saint James Music Academy and Haiti Communitere.

Gutsy Walk at Bear Creek Park, other sites in Canada SURREY — On June 8, nearly 15,000 Canadians will unite for the 19th annual Gutsy Walk – and walk toward a future without Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Surrey’s Bear Creek Park is among the event sites that day for a five-kilometre walk. The national fundraising goal is $3 million to help advance medical research of Crohn’s and colitis, a disorder that
causes the intestines to become inflamed and ulcerated. These lifelong diseases cause internal bleeding, ulcers and severe malnutrition, resulting in excruciating pain, urgent bathroom visits, possible hospital stays and multiple surgeries. Recent studies have revealed that these illnesses are on the rise in Canadian children, and are especially prominent in first-generation South Asians.
The first Gutsy Walk was held in 1994 at a handful of locations; today, events are held at 59 sites across Canada. Members of a Surrey chapter plan the event at Bear Creek Park as “a fun and healthy way to support those in our community living with Crohn’s and colitis.” This year’s walk will feature music by Langley Ukulele Ensemble, and Nature’s Fare Markets’ will provide complimentary
organic and gluten-free lunches to all participants. A special guest at the event will be honorary chair Clara Jacobs, 8, whose Gutsy Walk team as has a goal of raising $5,500. On June 8, registration begins at 8:30 a.m. at Bear Creek Park. Close to 300 participants are expected to register for the event. To get involved, visit Gutsywalk.ca.

Tommy Alto do the math, post-crash
Band releases new math-rock album ahead of three-month tour Jacob Zinn
Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn
W
HITE ROCK — Most of the guys in Tommy Alto may not be able to drink in the U.S., but that’s not stopping them from embarking on a threemonth tour across Canada and down the American west coast. Starting in June, the Semiahmoo Peninsula four-piece is piling in a van with their gear and driving thousands of kilometres east, then west, then south, then north, through the summer. Simultaneously, they are prepping for the release of their sophomore record, Atlas \\ Patterson, a pseudo concept album named after “a mixture of inside jokes and introspective thoughts. “This album, musically, has gotten a bit more progressive, a bit more technical,” said 19-year-old vocalist and lead guitarist Tom Vanderkam. “We’re steering more toward a math-rock style. “We’re really proud of this because it’s a lot more focused than anything we’ve done in the past.” While the band’s debut, 2013’s Oceans Carolina, was a very diverse record, the seven-track follow-up is more strictly a math-
rock album, a genre known for asymmetrical time signatures and complex rhythms. Think Rush, Frank Zappa and Yes, only modernized. “The last album, we were going through a lot of different phases – we had a folk phase, an indie-rock phase, and then we started getting into math,” said lead guitarist Ben Klassen, 19. “It wasn’t as cohesive, but now, we’ve actually picked a genre and reeled it in.” “We had lots of inspiration from underground U.K. bands that we really like,” added drummer Chartwell Kerr, 23, listing contemporary English alternative bands like Tubelord, This Town Needs Guns and Blakfish as influences. “We’re just trying to bring it to North America and make it big here.” The last piece of the puzzle was bringing in bassist Chris Young, a friend of the band who joined near the beginning of this year. “It was fairly out of the blue when Tom asked me if I wanted to join – and on bass, too, which isn’t my main instrument,” said Young, 20, who is more used to electric guitar. “I already had that bass background and they said they needed a bass player but also someone who understands guitar because of the complexity
The band Tommy Alto is (from left to right) Chartwell Kerr (vocals, drums), Ben Klassen (vocals, lead guitar), Tom Vanderkam (lead vocals, guitar) and Chris Young (bass). of math rock. It worked out really well.” Much of the lyrical content was inspired by a near-fatal van accident that three quarters of the current lineup survived last Aug. 26 near Hope, as they returned from their first ever tour. “Everything, honestly, went as perfect as a first tour could have gone, considering we booked the entire thing ourselves,” said Vanderkam. “We had no booking agents, no management, no publicist, no anything, and everything managed to come together really well until the end.” Kerr, who was in the
passenger’s seat, was among the most injured of the group. His legs were crushed in the accident and doctors said he wouldn’t be able to drum for nine months. “My history is not really listening to people, so I kind of just did everything faster than I should have,” he said with a chuckle. “It was motivation from these guys – they’d come visit a lot and they’d always send music over and keep my ideas going. It was the music that these guys were making about experiences like when we were being taken care of at the side of the van that motivated me
to get back up.” Most seriously injured in the crash was bassist Paul Engels, who is unable to continue playing with the band due to his injuries. The accident, in a way, brought the band closer together. Instead of calling it quits after nearly dying, the current quartet isn’t letting that stop them from hitting the road and making it back in one piece. “When you go through a near-death experience like that, you really value everything,” said Vanderkam. “You sort out your priorities, and for us, we never want to spend a
day in our life doing something that doesn’t make us happy. This is what we want to keep doing. “Why would we waste a second not making music together?” Atlas \\ Patterson will be released June 3 on CD and digitally via iTunes. The tour kick-off CDrelease party is Friday, May 30 at the Media Club, 695 Cambie St., Vancouver. Tommy Alto will be supported by indie-rock bands Smash Boom Pow, Heard in the Mountains and Milkers Wanted. Doors are at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

High school
Upstart Orcas settle for provincial silver Kyle Benning
Now contributor Twitter @kbbenning
The Elgin Park Orcas made a big splash with a silver medal performance at the B.C. Senior Girls AAA Rugby Championships on Vancouver Island last weekend. Entering the provincial tournament in Port Alberni, Elgin Park was not expected to make much of a statement. The Orcas ranked sixth of eight teams competing, but managed to make their trip to the Island count by advancing to the championship final. The Orcas fell just short the ultimate prize, dropping a 15-10 decision to the topseeded G.P. Vanier Towhees (Courtney) in the gold medal match. En route to the final, Elgin Park posted impressive victories against defending champion Cowichan Thunderbirds and No. 2 seed Yale Lions. Johan Mynhardt, the Orcas head coach, said that his squad performed very well and was impressed with his team’s results. “It was a really fantastic experience for our students. We had a bit of trouble at the beginning getting our team to function properly,” Mynhardt said.
At the start of the season, Elgin Park had trouble gelling and creating chemistry. As a result, they lost games to Cowichan and Yale. Those losses pushed the Orcas’ provincial rank further down. A win over Clayton Heights Nightriders – the only other Surrey team in the class AAA provincials – late in the season boosted the Orcas into the No. 6 seed.
Our defence was rock solid and for 60 minutes. Our girls defended like tigers. “Getting to the Island, we knew we were going to be in tough because of that number,” Mynhardt said about his team’s low seed. In their first match, the Orcas played the reigning-champion and No. 3 seed Cowichan Thunderbirds in a tight match, but managed to beat them thanks to a penalty kick in double overtime. Climbing the ladder, Mynhardt’s squad met the No. 2-ranked Yale Lions in the
semifinal. Playing Yale in the league earlier in the season helped prepare the Orcas for the Lions, and that experience helped who were organized prevent Yale from scoring any points. “Our defence was rock solid and for 60 minutes,” Mynhardt said. “Our girls defended like tigers.” After avenging the earlier losses to the two powerhouse teams, the Orcas were looking forward to taking on the tournament favourite. “We we’re quite confident going into the final against G.P. Vanier, but was a tough go for us, partly because of numbers,” Mynhardt said. Two of Elgin Park’s six seniors couldn’t play in the final due to non-rugby related concussions. “One of them had a concussion from playing ultimate (Frisbee) and the other one had a concussion (while) playing baseball. She was hit in the head.” Mynhardt said. “Two absolutely freak accidents that took off two of our starting players.” Down two starters, Mynhardt had to go to his bench to fill the holes with Grade 8
students. However, the head coach said that the rookies played fantastic and that he is looking forward to the future of this rugby program.
I’m very confident that we’re going to be playing rugby at this level for a while.
“It’s a question of do we have the commitment and do we have the drive and the urge and the want to actually do that. I believe they can. I’m very confident that we’re going to be playing rugby at this level for a while,” he said. Second place is the highest Elgin Park has ever finished at the provincial championships, topping their fourth-place finish last season. Clayton Heights, the other Surrey school in the AAA championships, lost in their first game to G.P. Vanier, and were eliminated from title contention.

Impala
The latest edition of the historic name Environment
Material quality is very high and the layout is logical yet pleasing to the eye.
BY DAVID CHAO
The interior dimensions in the new Impala have grown; this means there is plenty of room for five passengers, plus 18.8 cu. ft. of luggage space in the trunk.
Performance
The Impala name has been around since 1956. Over that time, the Impala has become a household name when it comes to an “allAmerican family” car.
The new Impala is available with three engines to appeal to a wide array of customers. These include two four-cylinders and a V6.
From the driver seat, all pertinent information is displayed through two modern-looking analog dials and a four-inch changeable screen in the centre. Heated and ventilated seats are available upfront, as well as a heated steering wheel.
The entry level Impala comes with a 195 hp, 2.5-litre ECOTEC four-cylinder engine. Direct injection and variable valve timing are used to increase efficiency. Later this year, there will be a 2.4-litre ECOTEC four with eAssist available. This is a mild hybrid system which provides electrical assistance in certain conditions to save fuel - it will be rated at 182 hp.
Not only has the Impala been around for a long time, but it has also consistently been one of GM’s top selling vehicles. However, in recent years the majority of those sales have come in the form of fleet vehicles (to be exact: rental cars). Chevrolet seeks to inject some excitement back into the flagship with the release of its 10th generation Impala. The 2014 Impala is new from the ground up with fresh styling, more interior room and advanced technologies. Safety was also a top priority. The Impala comes with ten standard airbags along with a range of available safety features including collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning.
Opting for the MyLink infotainment system with navigation and rearview camera brings in one of the easiest-to-use system on the market. Also, the 8-inch colour touchscreen display can slide up, revealing two additional USB ports and extra hidden storage. While the touch panel makes commanding all of the infotainment features easy, the climate control has to be left separate for quick access. Light blue ambient lighting also helps to provide a calm atmosphere.
Then there is the top of the range 3.6-litre V6 producing 305 hp and 264 ft-lbs of torque, which is the highest rated naturally aspirated V6 in the segment. Upgrading to the V6 may be a wise choice not only because it is a smoother powertrain, but it’s just a better matched engine for such a large car.
Rear seat passengers are provided with a substantial amount of leg and headroom. Despite the central tunnel, the Impala can realistically accommodate three adult passengers in the back.
No matter which engine you choose, it will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. When merging with highway traffic, it shifts quickly and smoothly; transmission is definitely a strong suit of GM products.
Design
The new Impala utilizes architecture borrowed from GM’s European brand, Opel. The more rigid chassis makes it feel more sophisticated and modern.
Features
Starting prices range from $28,445 up to $39,645. Standard equipment includes heated exterior mirrors, keyless entry, air conditioning, power widows and locks, an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, tilt and telescopic steering column, and steering wheel mounted controls for Bluetooth, cruise control and radio.
On the road, the lighter and stronger structure, and reworked suspension delivers a more comfortable and quiet ride than in the previous generation. Not only is the new Impala more composed, but it also shows a surprising amount of agility for a car of this size.
The exterior styling of the Impala hasn’t started this many conversations since the 60’s. The bold new design clearly has a big emphasis on aerodynamics and flow. It takes some styling cues from the new Camaro – for example the influences can be seen in the sharp new grille, the aggressive hood and the creases over the rear wheels. It retains the unique Impala emblem on the C-pillars. Top of the line models get HID headlights with LED daytime running lights. Also, 20-inch alloys are an option to replace the standard 18-inch steel wheels. The cabin has received an equally dramatic makeover.
The Impala has a good stability control system and strong anti-lock brakes. They combine to inspire confidence in any driving condition, especially the brakes which offer authoritative stops with firm pedal feel.
Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include push-button start, remote car starter, dual-zone climate control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, leather seats and steering wheel, chrome exterior details, and a sunroof.
If there is one complaint, it would be the steering feedback. While the electric stability control system does a good job keeping you safe, the overall feel of the steering is somewhat numb.
Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the 2.5-litre are 9.9 city, 6.3 highway, for 8.3 combined. The light hybrid sees 8.7 city, 5.8 highway, for 7.4 combined. The V6 returns 11.1 city, 6.9 highway, for 9.2 combined.

Braking News
Dodge Hellcat as wild as it sounds, pretty much Brendan McAleer
North Shore News Twitter @brendanmcaleer
A roundup of automotive news – good, bad and just plain weird:
G
as is past the $1.50 mark per litre. Emissions concerns and climate change worries rule the headlines. Auto manufacturers everywhere are turning to small displacement engines, electric power, and hybridization. Well, perhaps not everywhere: here’s Dodge with a 600plus-horsepower, supercharged version of the Challenger. It’s called the Hellcat, and good grief. Essentially built according to the muscle car bible writ in the late 1960s, the Hellcat takes the Challenger’s already potent Hemi 6.2-litre V-8 from 485 h.p. and pumps it past 600 horses, getting the power to the wheels through either a six-speed manual or an eightspeed transmission. It’s worth noting here that the eight-speed is fairly incredible: in the gargantuan SRT Cherokee, with its whacking great V-8 and titanic curb weight, your humble author managed to hit 10.2 litres/100 kilometres on the highway. Not bad. But nobody’s going to commute in a Hellcat except, perhaps, super villains. You get widened 20-inch alloys with sticky Pirelli rubber that’ll soon evaporate into smoke. The Hellcat also has some neat tricks, like boredout headlights with airchannels to help keep that supercharger cooled. No, it’s not very sensitive, and no, it’s probably not going to out-handle the trackfocused versions of the
Camaro and Mustang. Even so, it’s the kind of machine where you’d be happy to take transit all week, just to get up early and go for a Sunday blast.
NISSAN UPDATES NISMO 370Z
No more power, but updated looks and the availability of a seven speed automatic transmission: that’s the word on the newly released redesign for Nissan’s sportiest version of its Z-car. If you can’t quite stretch to a GT-R, this 350 h.p. coupe now at least gives you most of the looks of Godzilla. Nismo (Nissan Motorsports) has an interesting history of vehicles, most of which never quite made it to our side of the pond. However, Nissan’s been showing off any number of hot compacts at auto shows, and now has Nismo versions of the Juke, the Z, and the GTR available in Canadian showrooms. What would I most like to see next? The Nismo Micra. There’s precedent here, as Nissan once built a “Superturbo” Micra for rally homologation. Not only that, but they also currently build a Nismo version of their March sub-compact, which is essentially identical to the Micra. That car, in Nismo’s format, gets a bump in power to approximately 115 h.p., sport-tuned suspension, and a few aerodynamic tweaks. In today’s world of stringent speed limits and highpriced fuel, this is the backroad bumblebee you really want. Considering how well the relaunched Micra is doing critically, a sport-tuned version would be simply great.
MILLION-DOLLAR MERCEDES 300SL There wasn’t a dry
eye in the Mercedes fanbase this week as an iconic Gullwing flapped its angelic doors and soared off to join the automotive choir invisible. A number of 300SLs took part in this year’s Mille Miglia, a historic rally that runs through winding
rural roads in Italy. Originally banned for being far too dangerous, the Mille is now possibly the premier historic rally in the world. The 300SL, for its part, is possibly the
A new version of the Dodge Challenger (pictured) is called the Hellcat, which boasts an engine with more than 600 horsepower.

At least this Mercedes was on road, not in museum Series. Et tu BMW? The wreck of the car will only drive up values, but thankfully no one was seriously hurt. Even with the loss, the important thing here is that the car was out on the road, as it should be, rather than locked away in a museum.
starting in the 1950s, it was a high-water mark for classic Mercedes styling, grand touring smoothness and extremely rapid pace. Unfortunately, for this particular example, the curvy roads of the Mille proved to be host to a speeding BMW 1-

He received a knighthood for services to motor sport in 1978, and continued to drive and race the cars bearing his name in historic events until about a decade ago. He died in Australia last week, at the age of 88.

Rental cars provide freedom to hit the road when vacationing outside our home base. Whether it’s a road trip to the cottage or a short visit out of town, navigating the ins and outs of car rental can be tricky if you’re not prepared. Canadians take millions of trips abroad and without a doubt many of these travelers rent vehicles for their expeditions. In order to be prepared for the wide array of options that car rental agencies offer, it’s necessary to do a little bit of research on your own. “The key is to plan ahead so you can make an informed decision about car rental plans,” said insurance expert Mauro Convertini from Aviva Canada. “There are many choices, so taking time to examine each option is ideal.” Consider the following next time you are renting a car: • Save on insurance. Getting coverage from the rental agency can cost up to $25 a day for two drivers, but talk to your insurer or broker as your existing policy may cover you on rentals as well. Also speak to your credit card company as some providers will cover you if the rental is made on their card. • Get the best rate. The Internet makes it easy to compare rates. Keep an eye out for discounts and deals. • Bring your own GPS. It can be a very handy tool when driving in unfamiliar areas. If you don’t have one yourself, borrow a GPS from a friend, as car rental agencies can charge up to an extra $12 a day for the convenience. More information is available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com. News Canada
