Cloverdale plays ball Cloverdale Ball Park played host to the 2014 Peewee AAA Provincial Championships last weekend (July 31 to Aug 3). The home team showed a lot of fight. Despite losing its first two roundrobin games, the Spurs still qualified for the semifinal but ended up losing in the final.

Their season continues as they represent B.C. at the Western championships.

African adventure for Murrayville family Healther Colpitts

Langley Advance twitter @LangleyAdvance

LANGLEY — A local family is hoping lots of people join them for a Sunday stroll on Aug. 10.

They’ve enlisted help from their church, St. Joseph’s Catholic, and is hoping the public will help with this fundraiser.

They have a goal of raising $25,000, funds that will be used by a charity in Kenya, where the family is moving to for two years.

The Dunns – Sarah, Michael, and their teens Rachel and Victoria – are about to go from the comforts of a home in Murrayville and the conveniences of Canada to charity work in Kenya; eldest son Austin is working construction in Fort MacMurray, so he will head over for visits.

“We call it our Great Canadian Family Gap Year,” said Sarah.

Some keepsakes have been packed away in storage and the family sets off this month.

Right now there’s excitement, anxiety and fatigue, but the four are anxious to return to Africa and help at the Crisis Centre For Carers (CCC) in Mombasa.

“We’re going to see firsthand where the

money goes and the impact,” Sarah said.

She and Michael decided this was an opportune time. They didn’t want to be too old to do serious charity work but hesitated while the kids were small.

“It’s been on our radar for a long time,” Sarah explained.

They are following the lead of Pope Francis, who has shaken up the papacy through humble but forceful initiatives such as his International Campaign of One Human Family, Food for All campaign.

The Dunns went to Africa on an extended vacation several months ago, giving them a chance to suss out the possibilities.

It was also a chance to meet Mama Rosa, who runs the Crisis Center for Carers, founded in 2001.

“It’s not just about another dollar for Africa,” Michael said. “They want to be selfsufficient.”

The centre is about helping people set up small businesses or farms so they can be self sustaining. There’s also counselling for those dealing with trauma or help for grandparents raising grandchildren because the parents have died of HIV/AIDs. The middle ages of the African population has been hard hit by the disease, leaving many

CCC is there to help those who care for others, whether it’s job skills or life skills.

The Dunns also like the fact that those who receive help from CCC must in turn volunteer with it and help others.

The Dunns will be living in Nairobi and covering their own costs so that all the donations can go to the CCC. Sarah and Michael will be finding jobs over in Africa so they pose no drain on the

Michael is on leave from Surrey RCMP and Sarah worked for TD Canada Trust.

They will bring their job skills to this new chapter in their lives.

Sarah said she will have a lot to learn about business in Africa, but hopes to use her business knowledge to help the clients of CCC be more successful.

Victoria, 13, and Rachel, 16, have been registered in an international school in Nairobi where the family will live.

While sad to leave friends here where they attended Langley Fundamental school, they are looking forward to going.

“I’m totally up for the adventure,” said Rachel. “Something good will always come out of it. It’s not going to be easy and it’s going to be emotionally draining but you get so much more in return.”

Tegemeza Kenya is a charity set up by the Dunn family. Online donations are possible through the site, at Tegemeza.com.

St. Joseph’s Walk a Thon, a five-kilometre walk, is on Sunday, Aug. 10. The event is put on by the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Development and Peace Committee and starts at 11 a.m. at the church, 20676 Fraser Hwy., Langley.

Penny Pincher store

Thrift shop move excites hospital auxiliary Matthew Claxton

Langley Advance Twitter @LangleyAdvance

LANGLEY — One of Langley’s oldest thrift shops is moving, which means good things for the Hospital Auxiliary, and a move for the Langley Arts Council.

The Penny Pincher is moving from its current location in the 20200-block of 56th Avenue to a new home at 20550 Fraser Hwy. The big change isn’t in location, but in ownership.

The Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is buying the former bank building as a new permanent home for its thrift store.

“We’re pretty excited about it,” said Diane

Thornton, LMH Auxiliary president.

The auxiliary has been saving for the move since it started a building fund in 2007, said Thornton.

The idea was to quit renting, to eventually pay off the mortgage on a new building, and to then be able to put more money into the hospital itself.

“We figure it’s also a good long-term investment for the auxiliary,” said Thornton.

The auxiliary managed to save enough for the down payment while still putting aside cash for the expansion of the hospital. They recently contributed half a million dollars to the new maternity wing.

The new location, on the one-way section of Fraser Highway, will be more accessible to both customers and the volunteers who staff the Penny Pincher, Thornton hopes.

While the Auxiliary is looking forward to its new digs, it means a move away for the Langley Arts

Council, which has operated there for several years, showing art and hosting events.

The Arts Council will have to find a new location by the end of the year, as they are expecting to depart between November and the end of December, said LAC head Diane Gendron

Cooney.

“We are looking for a new space and we are open to many different possibilities – all the way from just office space to space in which we can have a gallery, studios and gift shop, as well,” said Cooney.

She said the LAC would prefer to have a space where

they can continue to invite the public, and can exhibit artworks by members, host musical evenings, and offer workshops.

“It has been an amazing opportunity for the Langley Arts Council to be in this space,” said Cooney, who said it will be sad leaving behind the building.

Helping hands needed for Seniors Games in Langley With five weeks to go until the BC Seniors Games roll into Langley, one of the biggest hurdles will be finding all the volunteers needed.

About 1,500 volunteers are needed, and more would always be helpful. Right now, the local organizers can rely on 750, putting them halfway to their goal.

Spearheading the drive for the volunteers is Johanne Caron, who like almost everyone else involved in planning the running the games, is a volunteer herself.

A retired Coast Capital employee, she had previously worked on the credit union’s annual charity golf tournament.

She also had experience with helping out with the BC Summer Games in Surrey in 2012.

Thanks to her experience, a friend who is a director with the Seniors Games asked her if she could help out.

It’s been an interesting job for Caron.

“Though we have a lot of senior volunteers, it’s not all seniors,” Caron noted.

Students are another big source of volunteers, especially but not exclusively high school students who need to gain some volunteer experience for their coursework.

The Seniors Games are reaching out through everything from Rotary Club meetings to booths at public events like May Day to find more people to help out.

Caron said there are a host of areas where volunteers can contribute, including setting up and managing the events during the competitions, opening ceremonies, banquets, first aid, security, concessions and more.

Some volunteers will be needed in the days leading up to the games, others only for the game days.

Jobs range from some manual labour outdoors to helping out with administrative tasks inside. “Even if you can only volunteer for four hours, we’ll find something,” said Caron.

Many volunteer shifts will be four or eight hours long.

As a volunteer herself, Caron knows that it’s worthwhile.

“It is rewarding, definitely,” she said. “You get to help people, and it’s an accomplishment.”

To sign up as a volunteer or for more information, call the games office at 604-533-8065, or email volunteer@2014bcsg. com. Volunteers can sign up online or by phone or fax.

Rejuvenated Sea Festival enjoys ‘amazing’ success Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — Throughout the course of this past weekend’s Sea Festival in White Rock, organizer Michelle Pedersen was waiting for something to go wrong.

After a year of exhausting planning and fundraising, things were going a little too smoothly for Pedersen’s liking, especially considering that this was an entirely new board at the helm.

On both days thousands descended on both West and East Beach to take in the various music, performances, vendors and activities, with highlights like the fireworks and torchlight parade receiving major props.

And as the event came to a close Sunday night, it finally

dawned on Pedersen that they’d pulled it off – the newly formed White Rock Events Society had successfully brought the Sea Festival back to life, complete with float, parade and fireworks – with nary a scratch to show.

“It seemed to be going so smoothly, I was on my toes waiting for something to go wrong but it all went amazing,” Pedersen said with a laugh on Tuesday.

“I would say it was a great success, we had a team that did a great job and it seems a bit unreal how well things went for us.”

On the event’s Facebook page, residents and visitors were congratulating Pedersen and the rest of the organizing team and volunteers for putting on such a stellar event.

An outdoor stage at Crescent Beach is being readied for Beach House Theatre’s pair of summer productions, which this year include Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors (opening a sixday run Tuesday, Aug. 12) and the more kid-friendly The Three Munschketeers (opening Monday, Aug. 11, based on stories by Robert Munsch and adapted by Debbie Patterson). The Comedy of Errors is a story of mistaken identities, misguided love, wrongful imprisonment and wild mishaps, all involving two sets of twins separated at birth. All shows are staged rain or shine at the tent-covered venue, located at Blackie Spit. All details are posted on the theatre company’s website, Beachhousetheatre.org.

After a couple of delays, Surrey’s Food Cart Fest is set to roll Saturday, Aug. 9 at Holland Park, from noon to 5 p.m. Arrival Agency’s new event is billed as “a massive gathering of B.C.’s best street food with DJs, markets, kids’ activities and outdoor fun,” on four Saturdays this month, closing Aug. 30. “We couldn’t be more excited about the new location at Holland Park,” said the company’s Thomas Anselmi. “Although we’ve faced delays and challenges, we feel like we’ve found the best location for Food Cart Fest in Surrey. It’s a really great atmosphere, perfect for a gigantic community picnic.” For more details, visit Foodcartfest.com.

Sea Festival organizers bask in event’s success ‹ from page 3

“I just wanted to say a big ‘Thank you’ to this year’s organizers of the 65th Annual Sea Festival. The parade was phenomenal this year! It was the best Sea Festival parade in years,” wrote Marian Maniago. “A lot of people became disenchanted with the White Rock Sea Festival over the past few years as it had become very disappointing... you are definitely on the right track in reviving the Festival to its former glory.”

Pedersen said she was happy to hear the feedback from people and wanting to keep her own bias out of it, she said the event’s success should only be measured by the reaction of visitors and guests. To that end, when Pedersen heard parade grand marshal Kristi Gordon’s review, she was happy.

As Pedersen also works at Global BC, she asked Gordon to take part in the event, which Gordon was more than happy to do.

“I wanted Kristi from the get-go because she was born in White Rock, she’s from here,” said Pedersen.

Also, things were quiet on the police front,

she added.

“Talking to (the RCMP’s) Sgt. Manly on Sunday at the end of the day, he said there were no incidents,” said Pedersen. “There were a few later on after the bars closed Michelle Pederson but nothing to do with us. So I gave him a high-five and said ‘not bad for rookies!’”

Now waiting to hear if she’ll end up going to China for work or not, Pedersen said she’s looking forward to working as much with the board as she can in preparation for next year’s festival and noted there’s still a chance she might be staying.

“We don’t have to build a float next year and now we’ll really know where to put our time and money based on our experience this year,” she said. “So I think for me and the board, we’re just wanting to move forward and do it again.”

New building would honour late artist’s legacy Kristi Alexandra

owner of South Surrey’s Mind Over Matter Gallery, gave Thompson Properties the green light to name the proposed real estate development after her late husband.

The Arnold Mikelson building is to include a statue of Arnold on the property, as well as carved medallions on the north and south sides of building that reflect some of Arnold’s more iconic pieces like “The Chelsea Bird” and “Ogo Pogo”.

As well, John and Laura Gilroy of Gilroy Glass have designed a stained glass window for the building’s foyer – an image of Arnold Mikelson working in his art studio.

The development proposal first went public during the inaugural 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST on Sunday, Aug. 3, which Rick Hart and the FCA spearheaded to bring culture to the streets of Fleetwood.

FLEETWOOD — A new development proposal on the corner of 84th Avenue and Fraser Highway is one that local artists – both new and established – could soon find themselves celebrating.

Vancouver-based development company Thomas Properties has proposed a threestorey concrete office and retail building that would bring both commerce and a sense of art to the area.

Slated to be named after the late local icon, Arnold Mikelson, a well-known artist who emigrated from Eastern Europe with his wife decades ago, the building would include many other tributes to the artist and his work.

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community

She wants to change language of the road DEADLY CRASHES: Varinder Badh survived the crash that killed her

parents and now she is working to change the way we perceive such ‘accidents’ STORY BY TOM ZYTARUK

Varinder Badh, shown here talking to media outside Surrey court, says when you refer to a traffic crash as an “accident,” it diminishes its seriousness. (File photo)

T

hey say nothing reveals a person’s mettle better than their response to tragic circumstances. And things don’t get much more tragic than what Varinder Badh has been through.

After surviving a car crash in Newton that killed both of her

parents and left her with grave injuries, she doggedly followed the driver responsible for the crash through the courts while undergoing her agonizing physical and emotional recovery.

Then, remarkably, Varinder wrote a PhD thesis – completed with honours – related to her horrific experience in the hope

her research might help other people. It earned her a doctorate in social sciences, through Royal Roads University in Victoria.

Her thesis is entitled: “It is No Accident that this is Called an Accident - Vehicular Negligence: A Socio-legal Study of Crime, Law, and Public Safety.”

helped her to heal.

“I felt compelled to provide a voice to those who were no longer able,” she explained.

“This continues to be a life-long journey and I only hope that this research will have an impact on the way in which these crimes are discussed, perceived and treated.

“It is a legacy to my parents.”

‘THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT’

But first, the crash – which Dr. Badh would never call an accident.

It’s 1:30 a.m. July 12, 2008. Varinder, 31, her sister Rupi, 27, and their parents Dilbag, 61, and Bakhshish, 60, are driving home from Rupi’s engagement party at a local hall when their BMW is rear-ended at high speed by a white Acura TL that had apparently been racing with a black Camaro.

The crash happens in the 8500-block of 128th Street. The Badhs’ BMW slams into a telephone pole while the Acura slides on its roof for 100 metres or so before the driver and his passenger bail out.

Rupi, a nurse, had been driving. The road appeared clear, until suddenly she looked back and saw two sets of headlights racing up from behind. No time to react. She was going to tell her passengers to brace themselves, but it was too late.

When Rupi came to, she saw her mom dying in a pool of blood. She crawled out of the window and felt her pulse.

“Mom breathe, breathe,” she cried.

She checked her dad, no pulse. She tried dragging him out of the car. Varinder – who spent a long time afterward in hospital in intensive care – was unconscious.

Roughly 1,000 mourners attended the funeral service, at Riverside Funeral Home & Crematorium.

Raminder Badh, their eldest son, shared his rage as well as his grief at the funeral.

“This was not an accident,” he said of the crash.

Ravinder Singh Binning, 27, of Surrey was eventually charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death, one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and failing to stop at the scene of the crash.

Varinder and her family were beside themselves when they learned he was also charged with dangerous driving, impaired driving, failing to provide a sample, willfully resisting arrest, flight from a peace officer and assault of a peace officer in connection with an incident in Surrey on March 15, 2009, eight months after the Badh crash.

Binning also had other driving-related run-ins with police. He was fined $600 for failing to provide a breath sample and failing to give information about an accident following an incident in Delta on Aug. 8, 2004.

He also received violation tickets for speeding and violating a restriction on his driver’s licence for offences in Surrey on Jan. 20, 2001, and for driving prohibited by a traffic control device in Vancouver on March 15, 2005.

Varinder and 13 other family members attended an RCMP press conference, many of them were wearing black T-shirts with a photo of Bakhshish and Dilbag on front, with the caption “vehicular negligence = murder.”

Binning, a one-time professional truck driver turned road menace, was sentenced to four years in prison by a Surrey

Family and friends console each other at the funeral of Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh, which drew about 1,000 members of the community in 2008.

CHANGE IN TERMINOLOGY

As for her subsequent studies, Varinder discovered that more people have died in traffic crashes than in both world wars.

And yet, as she noted in the executive summary of her 391-page thesis, the average person still views injury and or fatality from road crashes “as the result of chance or fate, as an act of God, or just bad luck.”

She found the primary determinant of this “dismissive attitude towards what is essentially a health and safety epidemic” to be how traffic collisions are labeled.

Referring to crashes as “accidents,” she noted, diminishes their seriousness.

As terminology affects perception, she maintains, it “minimizes the possible reckless and selfish behaviour that leads to injury and fatality on the roads.”

Varinder said the objective of her research was to investigate if current terminology used to describe traffic crashes involving death and injury have some impact on the “nonchalant, or passive” attitudes we have towards these “criminal acts.”

She examined language to determine if specific words tend to negate, undermine or dismiss negligent motor vehicle incidents as less than criminal.

“The research determined that in fact the use of soft terms such as accidents leaves an impression that the incidents are chance occurrences, fate, or God’s will, rather than perceiving them as preventable,” Varinder said.

“Changing language will start to change perception and perhaps society’s tolerance towards these types of criminal acts, which will be seen in driving behaviours and consequences for these negligent acts.”

Asked what impact she hopes her investigation will have on society, she noted that using the term “accident” removes accountability and “excuses or rationalized the behaviour, thereby deeming it unpreventable and a chance event.

If we simply change how we speak of these incidents then perhaps we will view them in a more serious light.

If our perception changes, our actions will follow suit.

“If we simply change how we speak of these incidents then perhaps we will view them in a more serious light,” she said. “If our perception changes, our actions will follow suit.”

Varinder said the desired result is for people to view the act of driving as serious, and to take responsibility for our actions. The byproduct of that should be

society holding drivers responsible for injury or fatality “to a higher standard” of accountability.

“Subsequently, sentences would reflect the serious nature of these acts.

Ultimately, I am hoping that society will refer to injury and fatality on the roads by using the term motor vehicle crash, which should slowly start to change perception and attitudes towards the serious nature of these acts.”

There are precedents. Take smoking in public areas, for example.

“Once people understood the health implications, this social activity has become illegal in most public areas and, in general, frowned upon,” Varinder noted.

“Once people become more educated in the rates of fatality on our roads, dismissal of motor vehicle incidents being seen as isolated events will disappear and accountability will increase.”

Varinder said the research process had a powerful impact on her personally considering she was also a participant.

“It was a difficult process,” she said. “I was a survivor and the personal impact was significant.”

She said victims are often regarded as victims of chance, something she finds “completely frustrating.

“In most cases, if it wasn’t for the reckless behaviour of the offender the incident could have been prevented,” Varinder said.

“The research for me was a process and journey towards healing, in that I needed to take what is a tragedy and channel that anger into something constructive.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Publisher: Gary Hollick

Our view

Although clever, paying parents is bad idea T

he B.C. government’s offer to pay parents for kids kept out of school by the teachers’ strike shouldn’t be taken out of context – it’s just another negotiating tactic.

And it’s a shoddy one.

Instead of playing silly games and trying to score points, the government should get serious about ending the dispute when talks resume.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced recently that if the strike continues into September, the government will pay $40 a day for each child under the age of 13 kept out of school by the strike.

The money would come with no conditions, other than to compensate parents for child care, tutoring or other educational opportunities.

If it’s a cynical ploy to sway public sentiment in the government’s favour, it’s not likely to work.

Yes, it will be a hardship for many parents if school doesn’t start as scheduled in September, but it’s education they want, not child-care services.

But let’s face it – de Jong’s message is not to parents, but to the teachers’ union. He’s saying the government has no interest in negotiating. He’s saying the government holds all the cards and isn’t about to fold.

De Jong said the scheme would use the money the government has saved from not paying teachers, a clear message that teachers can’t expect compensation for lost wages when they finally return to classrooms.

It rubs teachers’ noses in the fact that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s strike fund has been drained, while the government is awash in the millions it has saved. It shows that the government has many options, while the teachers have one – strike action – and they have used it up.

It’s a clever strategy on the part of the government, but don’t mistake cleverness for intelligence. This is a bad idea for many reasons.

It sets an undesirable precedent. Since when does a government compensate people discomfited by a strike?

It does nothing to advance education

in B.C. Paying parents to do educational things with their children is no substitute for the services of professional teachers.

Even if the plan had merit, children over the age of 12 are left out, and yet theirs is the education most threatened by the strike. Post-secondary opportunities for high school students are in jeopardy.

Where does de Jong think parents will find daycare services, already in short supply?

The wide-open nature of the offer holds potential for abuse and is an invitation for fraud. It’s dropping an opportunity right into the lap of scam artists.

The proposal bypasses local school boards that B.C. governments have already emasculated to the point of irrelevance.

De Jong’s plan feeds the widespread cynicism that most British Columbians have about government-teacher relations.

The government that said it would seek a deal to ensure 10 years of peace with

teachers can’t even get through a few weeks of a strike without muddying the waters.

The system is broken. The government proposal does nothing to fix it.

The intransigence is not one-sided. The BCTF leaped in with a strike vote too early in the process and sought a contract that was out of line with reality and with what other government employees received.

British Columbians are tired of this game. They are tired of tit-for-tat tactics and spitting contests.

They are fed up with the posing and posturing. Parents want their children to be educated and teachers want to teach; they are stymied by a surfeit of politicking and a lack of leadership.

Both sides should stop trying to save face and start trying to save education. A child’s education is worth more than $40 a day.

Your view

A list of agencies would help seniors The Editor, Re: “The struggles of being a senior,” the Now, July 31.

I read your article on seniors with great interest. My only concern was that you didn’t mention any employment agencies in Surrey for seniors who want to continue working, or in my case who have to work to make ends meet.

I am 71 years old, and am currently working two little part-time jobs. It keeps me focused and out in the community.

Please list agencies. I’m sure it would help me and other seniors.

Education is essential – up to a point

The government desperately needs to win the appeal and is leery of passing another law after two previous ones have been tossed out of court.

Another loss would hand the BCTF a huge win on the expensive learningconditions issues that are part of the dispute.

Also in play is a novel sort of jiujitsu strategy the government has adopted.

As explained by Finance Minister Mike de Jong, teachers’ contracts have been legislated so often that the BCTF now fully expects to be ordered back to work after work stoppages. He said past governments have reacted too quickly.

The idea is that the BCTF goes to the

T

he way it’s supposed to work is, all government spending gets approved by elected officials before the money goes out the door.

They divvy the government’s budget into “votes,” with each vote representing a ministry’s budget. Each one gets debated and passed in the house, and the money gets spent on the basis that it was scrutinized by elected representatives.

The Education Ministry’s $5.3billion vote for the year was passed May 1 on the assumption that the money would run the school system.

But there was nothing during debate about the prospect of carving $12 million a day in unspent money due to a teachers’ strike out of the budget and handing it directly to parents.

It raises the question of whether the potential September tactic announced last week is appropriate. It might be only parliamentary purists raising eyebrows at the government’s fallback plan if the strike isn’t settled by next month.

But forking over $40 a day per kid under 13 to make up for the absence of a school system would be a pretty novel use of tax money that was originally dedicated for the school system – in fact, promised to school districts.

No doubt there’s a way around the convention if it turns out to be a problem. There usually is. If the plan takes effect next month, the government could argue the money can’t be spent as earmarked because the teachers aren’t working. So it is free to redirect it elsewhere. Or the issue

Arzo Ansary haha yeah because we've been so good at increasing the number of childcare spaces to meet with the growing demand over the last two decades. NOT. where are all the kids gonna go? do they know most parents won't be able to find a daycare because there just aren't enough spaces? I don't understand the logic. Why can't all that money just be put towards giving the teachers the increases they want in the contract?

Business Conference

Les Leyne

Here’s what our Facebook followers were saying about the province offering parents $40 a day should the strike continue into the fall:

wall with contract demands because they know a back-to-work bill will be coming eventually. The expectation becomes a strong part of their strategy.

(That’s why the union had next to nothing in a strike fund.)

This time around, the government is holding off, in a bid to force real negotiations. They’ve been negotiating for 18 months, through two education ministers, two union presidents, a shake-up of the government negotiating side and one election. It’s all been a pointless waste of time, but they’ll take another run at it on Friday (Aug. 8).

The announced plan to compensate parents through September if there’s no deal confirms again there will be no back-to-work order at least until October. It gives teachers another paycheque-free month to examine their shrinking bank accounts and watch $12 million a day that could have been in their hands get doled out to parents instead.

It also turns on its head the historic understanding that education is an essential service. It’s that designation that always been used to justify imposing contracts on the BCTF in the past. The government got away with letting most of June go by without imposing a deal because it’s a pretty unproductive month at the best of times.

But holding to that stance at the start of another year makes something unmistakably clear. The B.C. Liberals think the education system is essential only up to a point.

The more essential things are to avoid doing anything that would blow their chances in court this fall, and force the BCTF to accept the fact that the deal has to be negotiated this time.

could go to court, which is where the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation spend a lot of time in any event.

The B.C. Liberals are acutely conscious of how judges view their negotiating tactics these days, because the appeal of the government’s huge loss to the BCTF is set for this October.

The Supreme Court condemned their negotiating strategy and quashed their last legislation to do with teachers – again – in January.

DEBATE Letters

Parking is last thing you should need to worry about at ER The Editor, Recently, I had reason to be dropping off my partner to the new emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

While there, I discovered to my horror that not only was there no temporary parking to assist the patient with initial drop off and admission but there is no free parking to wait with the patient. Instead, parking costs $4.50 per hour.

Fortunately for us (from a parking cost perspective) it was a critical care admission and was only parked at ER for two hours.

On top of that, when I was rushing to get my partner to the hospital, the last thing on my mind was change or even having to pay for parking. (I guess that is where having a credit card comes in handy.)

But what if a person does not have a credit card or forgets it and does not have

any change?

This has to change. This is a major hospital with a very busy ER. With wait times exceeding six to eight hours, how can people afford to drop off a family member to ER and wait for the outcome? That privilege would cost in excess of $50.

Oh, and then to top it off – I got a ticket. I came back to see a ticket on the windshield for $84 for not having paid at the electronic

meter. Fortunately I kept the receipt. My ticket was issued within six minutes of having paid for parking.

With the stress of someone in critical need of emergency care, the last thing one needs to be concerned about is paying for parking or worse, getting a ticket for being too absorbed with the family member in ER. Martin Rooney, Surrey

Some suggestions on suites The Editor, I am extremely disappointed with the onslaught of illegal suites and mega houses. For the most part this is now an ugly city to live in.

The city should inspect and remove all illegal wiring at homeowners expense and should reduce the maximum size of a house allowed on a lot. There should also be bigger fines for infraction of by-laws and spot inspections without notice. The city should also hire a dedicated enforcement agency with teeth to enforce by-laws.

A dozen roses to our local journalists who, despite the craze of the Internet, strive weekly to do our community good by providing interesting, relatable information and news stories to read in the paper during the evening. As a university student interested in publishing, it gives me hope. Thank you!

A million red roses to Sophia Walia for hosting a great charity tournament.

The tournament raised awareness of certain types of cancer, which are more predominant in men. She is a great person and put a lot of time and effort into this field hockey tournament. Great job, Sophia! All of Surrey’s field hockey players salute you. Field Hockey Tackles Cancer was a great event.

A huge bouquet of roses to the men who helped us push, up an incline, our very heavy VW Westfalia out of the intersection of King George Boulevard and Highway 10. And thank you to the very pleasant and competent Unitow truck driver.

Roses to the organizers and volunteers of the White Rock Sea Festival. You put on an event to be proud of.

Roses to Hayley Grice, who the Now featured for being the only girl in the provincials. Great job, Hayley!

Rotten tomatoes to the teachers who decided to go on strike two weeks before the end of the school year. You say you do this for the kids – it had nothing to do with the kids, you were trying to make a point and failed by walking out on the students. Why didn’t you wait until exams/graduation were complete? I give you a failing grade – summer school for you. Oh wait, there is no summer school.

Rotten tomatoes to the Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency department for excessively long wait times. It seems that they want you to wait at least six hours if you have to go there. The whole place seems to be in slow motion. I have complained to the hospital and it doesn’t even respond.

Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey, which spent months re-doing the road along King George Boulevard and 16th Avenue. The city planted grass (which has not been mowed but weed-eaten twice) and 16 cedar trees at the cul-desac and all but one is dying. Maybe they should have had someone water them.

What a waste to the taxpayer.

Rotten tomatoes to whoever is vandalizing the volunteer search and rescue team’s equipment, stealing and destroying things. What if you needed rescuing and they’d say “all our equipment in that area has been stolen and we can’t get in there without our equipment?”

Rotten tomatoes to the store owner who parked in a handicapped zone and when confronted, pushed a 75-year-old man to the ground and broke his hip.

Shame, I will not shop there again!

Rotten tomatoes to Linda Hepner for even putting the idea of a ferris wheel out there. Give your head a shake! Surrey needs responsible government, not an amusement park philosophy.

Sex offender still with theatre group, two others resign White Rock Players’ Club cancels production after Ryan Mooney’s sex crime is brought to light Kristi Alexandra

SURREY — Fire crews were kept busy Tuesday morning after two separate fires were sparked in Surrey.

At around 6 a.m. firefighters were called to a grass fire in a ravine near King George Boulevard and 132nd St. Surrey battalion chief Tom Morgan said that no residential properties were damaged and despite some difficult terrain, crews were able to put the fire out without much trouble.

Firefighters responded to a second call at around 9:30 a.m. when flames were spotted coming from an abandoned house

r e m su sem s nsation

at the corner of 97a Avenue and 137 Street.

Morgan told the Now that the home was abandoned and had been boarded up making it difficult for crews to fight.

“Because it was abandoned it wasn’t safe to go in to fight the fire and so we had to fight it from outside,” he said. “Surrey has a program for any vacant houses that we try and get the owners to board them up, you can’t keep the people out of there if they want in but at least it’s something to slow them down,” he said.

By Tuesday afternoon the cause of the fire was not known and for safety reasons investigators had not attempted to enter the building. matt@mattlaw.ca

WHITE ROCK — The White Rock Players’ Club artistic director is still on the theatre group’s board, despite reports that he had handed in his resignation.

Ryan Mooney, 32, was set to star in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged when the Now broke the story that the theatre group was looking for volunteers – including young people – despite some board members knowing that Mooney, the group’s artistic director, is on the list of registered sex offenders.

The production, which was set to kick off on Aug. 6 and run until Aug. 21 at Coast Capital Playhouse, has been cancelled following a meeting of the board members on Monday (Aug. 4).

Two other board members, Angie Koropatnisky and Matt Davenport, resigned from their positions in the past week. It is uncertain whether vice-president Kate Stadel will also resign from her position, but thus far Mooney has made no moves to leave the company.

“At this time, we have not asked for his resignation,” said the WRPC’s pastpresident, Dave Baron. “It’s his own personal decision. We have no position on (it). We are a volunteer club, he is a volunteer.”

When asked why another media outlet had reported that Mooney resigned, Baron said, “I think it was misconstrued.”

Recently, the WRPC told the Now that the group was looking for volunteers. Asked if the club is looking for younger volunteers, Stadel replied “it would definitely be a benefit for younger people. I think if they’re interested in trying theatre, this would be a good place to start if you’re still in high school or you’re not quite sure what you’re

going to do after high school.”

In 2009, Mooney pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl while working on a school play in 2006. He received a one-year conditional sentence, three years probation, was ordered to provide a DNA sample and his name was added to the sex offender registry for 20 years.

Karen Mirsky, Mooney’s lawyer for the case, told the judge that he changed his career and wouldn’t be working with young people again.

According to Baron, Mooney has not directly worked with any minors during his involvement with the WRPC. “He has voluntarily and with the consensus of the board avoided any contact with minors,” Baron said.

Mooney has directed many theatrical productions with the WRPC but excludes himself from the annual Christmas Pantomime, which customarily has minors in it.

Although some board members have resigned, Baron said that he doesn’t think that Mooney is at any fault.

“In our experience, Ryan has not done anything wrong,” he said. “He served his sentence, he’s abided by the requirements of the court and we feel that, in that respect, he deserves a chance to prove that he’s rehabilitated.”

Though the WRPC, which operates Coast Capital Playhouse, will not be producing another play until October, the building will still host concerts and other productions by rental groups.

White Rock Players’ Club has an annual general meeting scheduled for Aug. 17.

Mooney could not be reached for comment before deadline.

INFORM Surrey, White Rock, Delta

Briefly

Girl attacked near high school in Surrey’s Clayton Heights SURREY — A teenaged girl was attacked on a path behind Clayton Heights Secondary in broad daylight last week, say Surrey RCMP. On Sunday, July 27, the 16year-old girl was walking through the area at around 2 p.m. when the suspect approached her from behind, said Cpl. Dale Carr, a spokesperson for Surrey RCMP. The man put his arm around the girl’s neck and she screamed. He let her go and ran away to the north.

Police foot patrols, including The suspect searching by Police Dog Services officers, failed to find him.

After speaking to the victim and other witnesses, Carr said the man is believed to be a white male in his mid-30s, six feet tall, with a medium build and dark hair.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a rust or tan coloured tank top, black shorts, and sunglasses.

A composite sketch of the man has been created, and police are asking anyone who recognizes him to call the RCMP. Clayton Heights Secondary school is located at 7003 188th Street near the Surrey-Langley border, west of Willoughby.

Anyone with information on the man should call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Police nab Surrey man wanted for possession of child porn RICHMOND — A routine traffic stop in Richmond netted police a 29-year-old man who was wanted Canadawide on child pornography charges.

Geoffrey Scott Ambridge of Surrey was stopped by police on Chatham Street near No.1 Road in Steveston after the officer noticed the, “vehicle not matching the driver,” according to Corporal Stephanie Ashton, media relations officer for the Richmond RCMP. Police ran a check on the driver of the car, which was reportedly registered to someone other than Ambridge but was not stolen, and discovered he was wanted on charges of possession of child pornography and made the arrest.

“Our road safety officers are often the first line of investigation for arrests like this one,” Ashton said in a press release. “They deal with so many people during their vehicle stops and they are always looking beyond the motor vehicle act.”

Ambridge is being held in Richmond pending transportation to Calgary where he will appear in court.

Three new candidates enter fray

Three new candidates have come forward to throw their names into the mix for the upcoming municipal elections in Surrey, White Rock and Delta.

In Surrey, Fleetwood Community Association President Rick Hart has declared his intent to run as an independent this November, eyeing to nab a seat as councillor.

Hart has been a longtime advocate for Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood and most recently organized the 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST, an outdoor arts and music festival in Fleetwood.

Hart could not be reached by deadline.

In White Rock, Dave Chesney will be running for a spot on council after coming close several times in the past.

Chesney is the publisher and editor of the White Rock news site, The White Rock Sun and has been involved in media and entertainment for more than 30 years.

Most recently, Chesney ran in the 2012 White Rock byelection, coming in as runner-up to Bill Lawrence. He’s lived in White Rock for over 25 years and is a prominent figure in the community.

“I’ve run in three elections and two by-elections, the last two I would have been elected,” he said. “My father at a very young age instilled in me that ‘don’t just sit around and bitch about something. If something bothers you enough, roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work.

“I think I can do a tremendous job as a member of

White Rock council, representing to people. I talk to them and I’m on the street all the time and I think I’ve got a really good feeling for what people would like to see in White Rock.”

Finally, in Delta first-time candidate Lori Mayhew has announced that she will be gunning for a spot this fall on Delta council. An 18-year-resident of Delta who previously worked as a claims adjustor for ICBC, Mayhew said her focus is on keeping Delta a welcoming and affordable place for families.

“From Ladner to North Delta, we’re one city. My kids play ball hockey and soccer games with kids from Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta,” she said. “We rely on the same services and need our municipal government to deliver these services equally across our communities.”

She plans to spend the rest of the summer and fall knocking on doors and meeting Delta residents at community events.

“As a city, we’re grappling with several issues, from how to do development sustainable while protecting our valuable agricultural land to advocating for more transit and a stronger voice in regional decisions. I want hear what Delta residents think about these issues and where their priorities lie,” she said.

The election is set for Nov. 15.

Ten mobile food vendors finally make their way to town Kristi Alexandra Now contributor

Twitter @kristialexandra

SURREY — A month and a half after Surrey launched a food truck pilot program, which includes six Surrey sites where 10 vendors would be given a designated space over the year, residents and foodies alike are wondering where and when they can grab said grub.

Ten mobile vendors were to appear in parking lots of the North Surrey Recreation Centre, Bear Creek Park/ Surrey Arts Centre, Newton Wave Pool and City Hall Plaza throughout the day, over a period of one week.

There is no schedule and Surrey’s manager of parks, Owen Croy, says that the vendors can come and go from their designated parking location when it “makes most sense for them from a business perspective.”

The 10 vendors include popular “street meat” staple Japadog, the Surrey-based Hillbilly Dawgz — where specialty meat dogs like crocodile and kangaroo are common fare — and the Tasty Torpedo, a sandwich truck.

“We give them the location, and we set the rules around them having to have their business licence, the fire inspection, the Fraser Health inspection,” Croy said. “They generally set their own hours and it typically is for the lunch trade and for the early supper trade.”

He added that the city has “had some great success in a number of locations.”

“We’re just about to launch next week,” said Chris Davis of Tasty Torpedo, designated for City Centre. The cart has not yet appeared this summer as the company has been busy with prior obligations.

“We’ve been doing private functions since we started,” Davis said, but added that he’s excited to get off the ground in Surrey when they launch the week of Aug. 4.

“We’re super happy about Surrey and that’s where we’re invested,” he said. He advised prospective customers to

check the Tasty Torpedo’s Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for updates on the truck’s hours.

Likewise, Darrell McFarlane, owner of Hillbilly Dawgz, who has a 12-foot stand set up at Bear Creek Park on selected days, advises people to check his Twitter feed for updates on when the stand will be serving up quirky, gourmet dogs.

“I think the responsibility of everybody should be to tweet when they’re going to be there — whether it’s on Facebook or your webpage or by tweeting,” he said, adding that working on both social media and a city initiative, rather than a festival, are new experiences for him.

“It’s like anything else; it’s a new program for Surrey and I think it’s great but it’s going to take a little while for people to get, ‘Well, hey, where are you?’… I think it’s so new right now that we’re all just getting our feet wet.”

Hillbilly Dawgz also has a food trailer set up at Surrey Night Market on Fridays and Saturdays.

McFarlane said that despite growing pains that go along with starting up something new, the program has been a positive experience.

“The Surrey parks staff have been very supportive to us,” he said. “It’s all so new with everyone right now that we’re all growing with this thing together.”

Davis agrees with his fellow vendor.

“Sukhi (Bahia)’s been doing a fabulous job of getting all together,” Davis said of the city’s business systems coordinator, who worked closely with the vendors in setting up the food cart program.

Bahia could not be reached for comment by deadline.

Other participating food vendors are Old Country Pierogi, Fijian Fusion, The Place Next Door Canteen, Hot Grandma’s Kitchen, Taj Tadka, Taj Express and Don’s Smokies. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

INFORM Surrey crime stats

Property crime up, violent crime down SURREY — Surrey has seen an increase in property crime and fraud this quarter compared to the same period last year, according to statistics released by police this week.

Violent crime, however, decreased and although homicides spiked in the last quarter, there has been a 42 per cent drop to date compared to last year.

Surrey RCMP say there has been a regional increase in property crime and Surrey is no exception. Last quarter, there was a 25-per-cent increase in property crime.

Only two types of property crime decreased: business break-ins and theft over $5,000. Police say it’s often the case that a small group of thieves commits a large percentage of the crimes.

Fraud went up 52 per cent in the last

on the portion not covered

quarter compared to 2013. Specifically, police are seeing thieves targeting people’s credit card information.

Although violent crime fell eight per cent in the last quarter and nine per cent yearto-date, the number of attempted murder charges increased by a whopping 200 per cent, sexual assault by 14 per cent and abduction or kidnapping by 86 per cent.

Police attribute the increase in attempted murders to the use of knives during fights.

In a news release, Sgt. Dale Carr said police statistics can change as investigations progress.

“Criminal investigations are fluid in nature,” said Carr. “As police gather evidence, conduct witness statements, and dig deeper into a file, the elements of an offence can change.”

GO! The arts

Website a treasure trove of Shakespearean discovery ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

T

he Shakespeare saga continues.

Bill the Bard is still stirring up the Englishspoken world nearly 400 years after his death. No doubt the works attributed to Shakespeare have had a profound effect on our language and on theatre itself. After all these years, does it really matter who wrote what? I mean, it’s not like royalties are involved.

The important thing is that this body of work exists and is still affecting our lives today.

After last week’s column, I received an email from an Alan Tarica, who sent me a link to an article he had written regarding the Shakespeare controversy. It is all very fascinating. Tarica describes his two-decade effort as a series of “little epiphanies.”

For those with a curiosity about Elizabethan literature and the origins of Shakespeare’s writings, Tarica’s website is a treasure trove of information and discovery. It will take some dedication to the subject to wade through it all, but hey – it is an educational opportunity and might challenge your concepts.

As Tarica puts it, “I’ve illustrated to so many they are left with the choice of deciding if I’ve written an incredible conspiracy theory, with an amazingly rich historical and political back-story and all utilizing Shakespeare’s very own completely unadulterated words, versus the notion that virtually every Englishspeaking university is teaching complete nonsense as if it was incontrovertible fact.”

As Tarica sees it, “the project is not finished in the least. I don’t think a project like this can ever be finished.” He attributes some of the sonnets to the illegitimate child of Queen Elizabeth I. Start the discussion now; I told you it is an intricate and involved theory.

So, now we not only have a “who wrote Shakespeare” challenge, but “what is being taught in university courses” challenge. Did this actor/ playwright ever envision the future? Did he care?

Was he just an actor who had to write his own script so he had an acting role?

Hey, it isn’t unknown! And today, people are “rewriting” Shakespeare just because.

Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield created The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. This wild and wacky tribute features all 37 of Shakespeare’s

KIDZ BIZ Youth baseball

Surrey ball teams find success Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @KBBenning

A Whalley Little League team flew home Tuesday after representing Canada at the Little League Intermediate 50/70 World Series in Livermore, California.

The boys came back to a warm welcome from friends and family after finishing 1-2 in the double-elimination tournament.

The team had a slow start, suffering an 11-1 loss in their first match to Liga Pabou Little League, the team from Curacao representing Latin America.

Two days later, the Canadian champions gave Asia-Pacific a run for their money before they scored seven runs in the eighth inning to lose 9-2.

In the consolation game, Whalley was able to beat Taylor Little League 7-6 thanks to late-game heroics from Braden Scott.

The senior team is currently playing at the Canadian Championships in Victoriaville, Quebec, and has punched a ticket to the semifinal after winning

four of six round-robin games.

If they win the tournament, they will represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Back at home, Cloverdale Minor Baseball made it to the provincial finals in two different age groups.

At the Peewee AAA Provincial Championships, hosts Cloverdale lost 12-8 to Abbotsford in the final.

Cloverdale started the round robin with two losses, but managed to claw back after winning their next two and qualifying for the semifinal against Burnaby.

Despite scoring five runs in the first inning, the Spurs couldn’t hold on as Abbotsford scored four runs in the third inning and another six by the time the sixth inning started.

Coach Tim Blake said his team was considered an underdog to make the final, but said they have been working on the mental side of the game.

“We worked a lot on that this year,” he said. “Baseball is a funny game sometimes. It can go either way and we just have to battle onto the next one.

I always say you have to have a short memory.”

Despite losing, the team still qualifies for the Western championships and will travel to Manitoba to compete in the competition, which start Aug. 15.

At the Bantam AAA Provincial Championships, Cloverdale are repeat champions after beating Abbotsford 5-2. Last year, the boys managed to beat Abbotsford in the semifinal before beating Vancouver in the final. This year, the team did it in reverse order by beating Vancouver 10-2 in the semifinal before beating Abbotsford.

Head coach Garnett Pawliw said no other team can compare to the success his team has had winning provincials at the tadpole and mosquito levels.

“I would say I’ve had the core of the team since they were seven years old.

I really think for the most part our kids on that team will all play college baseball. They’re that good,” he said.

With the provincial title, the boys have qualified for the national championship, in Vaughn, Ontario starting on Aug. 21. Last season, they finished second at the nationals.

GO! Music

Zakiya Hooker carries on late father’s blues legacy Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

WHITE ROCK — It would be hard to say Zakiya Hooker doesn’t have an authority on authentic blues music, considering her childhood playground was a plethora of blues haunts where her father – the late American music legend John Lee Hooker – helped pioneer the movement.

John Lee Hooker was best known for his “back porch blues.”

Although she and her siblings grew up music at the forefront of their young lives in the early ’50s and ’60s, it wasn’t until later in life that she decided to pursue a career in music because, well, she had some living to do first.

“It took some time because I was a single parent. I had three children and I had to raise those children first. It was a priority,” said Zakiya, who decided to professionally pursue a music career at the age of 42.

“I would always write, I would always have the blues… we always had it,” said the

singer, who is now also a great-grandmother.

While the blues may be in Zakiya’s blood, the road to musical success hasn’t always been easy just because of her namesake.

“At first it was kind of rough ’cause, you know, those are big shoes and you don’t fill ’em, you just kinda walk behind them,” she told the Now. “It was hard for people to get adjusted to me, especially as a woman in the blues.

Footgolf

Soccer-golf hybrid kicks off in Surrey Summer is here and it’s time to get out and enjoy this special time of the year. Over the next three months the Now will offer you some unique sporting ways to experience summer without leaving town.

SURREY — Get your knee-high argyle socks and flat caps ready because footgolf has landed in town.

Eaglequest Coyote Creek has opened a course for the soccer-golf cross sport and held a grand-opening event on Wednesday, July 23.

This is the first footgolf course to open in the Lower Mainland. There are already two other courses open in the province – one at Sun Rivers Golf Resort in Kamloops and the other at Skaha Meadows in Penticton.

Canadian FootGolf Association codirector Alex Elliot said that even though the weather didn’t cooperate, it didn’t dampen the mood of the day.

“The event went great,” he said. “It was the one rainy day of the month. But once you’re out there playing, it’s pretty fun, rain or shine.

“There was a 10-year-old who hit an eagle on a par five. He hit one over the river and it dropped in the hole,” Elliot added.

The sport is as simple as it sounds. Players kick a size five soccer ball down a fairway towards a 21-inch hole.

“For people who are playing for the first time, it’s pretty exhilarating,” Elliot said.

“They get to hit over the river, hit over the bunker and all the little obstacles really makes it a fun experience for the little guys.

For the older crowd out there, for them to have a drink in hand and able to kick a soccer ball and enjoy the technique aspect of playing on a golf course is something different.”

The sport was created in the early 2000s, but the official rules were set in the Netherlands in 2009.

The event had 210 slots for players playing an 18-hole round and Elliot said they nearly filled them all, which he was impressed by as it was a Wednesday morning.

It cost $40 to play in the tournament.

The cost included the green fees, a CFGA membership, lunch and a $5 donation

It’s nice to play a sport like footgolf where the competitive level drops a bit, but the enjoyment and the ability to enjoy football culture and to get together with a bunch of guys and enjoy the sport.

towards the Right to Play organization.

He mentioned that Coyote Creek will hold two more events – one in August and one in September – with at least one of them landing on a Sunday.

Elliot, who is also one of the founders and co-owners of the Vancouver Futsal

Association, said even though it is less of a high-intensity sport, the technical aspect is still present.

“It’s nice to play a sport like footgolf where the competitive level drops a bit, but the enjoyment and the ability to enjoy football culture and to get together with a

bunch of guys and enjoy the sport,” he said.

The CFGA’s co-director also said the sport is all-inclusive and allows players of all skill levels and ages the chance to appreciate the sport.

“The thing I love about it is that anyone and everyone can play. Whether you’re an extremely talented soccer player, you can enjoy it for the technical aspects or if you’ve never played soccer before but you’re a soccer enthusiast and like watching soccer on TV, it’s a sport where you can still toepoke the ball down the pitch, have a drink in hand and enjoy the day.” see › page 30

Getting Started

The main thing needed to play any ball sport is the ball itself and footgolf is no different. Size five balls are used when playing and are available for rental before teeing off, or you can bring your own.

Despite soccer being a sport full of passion and excitement, footgolf is played on a golf course – which means that etiquette of the game is a little different.

Soccer cleats are not allowed on the course because of the studs at the bottom of the shoes.

Flat runners or indoor shoes are options, but turf shoes are optimal. Elliot said that turf shoes have enough grip on the base of the shoes to prevent someone from slipping.

Players will also need to wear a collared shirt and golf shorts, but the courses are a little more relaxed on a day-to-day basis.

Note SR

There’s enough legroom here that Wilt Chamberlain’s chauffeur should have owned one brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Environment:

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Do you like music? If so you will no doubt enjoy the delicate stringed musings of Vivladi’s Four Seasons, followed immediately by a bracing heavy-metal blast from Killdozer. And who could forget the time that noted Vancouver tenor Ben Heppner brought us all to tears with an impassioned rendition of Nessun Dorma, before galvanizing the audience further with a profanity-laced performance of Tupac Shakur’s Shorty Wanna be a Thug.

Wait, that never happened. As it turns out, musical tastes vary widely – as do the sorts of things people look for in their cars.

With the Versa Note, Nissan would like to play you a tune that’s heavy on the legato, while having only a pianissimo effect on your wallet. The question is: in the cutthroat small car market, is the Note’s performance emphatic enough to be heard?

Design:

There’s not much a designer can do with a footprint this small, unless some element of retro-kitsch is what’s being aimed for. Rather than making their hatchback resemble the Datsun B210, Nissan’s gone for a fresh modern take that’s reserved. Given how well the old Versa hatchback has aged (it hit the roads more than seven years ago now), that’s a good thing long-term.

Standard cars come with 15” alloy wheels, but there’s a choice of top trims with 16” alloys. This week’s tester was the SR model, and had nicely machine-finished darkpainted rims shod with low-rolling-resistance tires.

The SR package is approximately the same as the old Sport package Nissan used to sell on its Versa, and includes unique front and rear fascias, side skirts, dark-look headlights and fog-lights, and a rear spoiler. Judging by the album cover, this is potentially a sporty little number.

Any Nissan salesman worth his salt will insist that you sit in the back seat of the Note, even before you plonk yourself up front. There’s enough legroom here that Wilt Chamberlain’s chauffeur should have owned one. Rear-facing child seats are an easy fit, leaving plenty of room for adults up front, and four adults could easily pop across town in complete comfort.

Powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder making a very modest 109hp and 107lb/ft of torque, the Note is available with either a 5-speed manual transmission, or a continuously variable transmission. The CVT is the only offering on SR models.

Even though the SR model looks like the sportiest version in the range, it doesn’t have any chassis enhancements, and comes with those aforementioned low rolling-resistance tires. Trying to carve up a corner with this car is akin to playing Guns n’ Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine on the oboe. It’s not that you can’t do so, it’s just that it’s very silly to try.

Body roll is moderate, but the high seating position and numb steering feel aren’t exactly designed to put you in attack mode. Work the accelerator too hard, and that little 1.6L is going to let you know it’s doing a tough job.

The SR model comes with sporty-looking suede seat-covers trimmed in orange. Sporty they may look, but they’re actually a bit more comfort-oriented, with less bolstering than I’d like to see. The trade-off on this is easier ingress and egress, and with a very upright driving position, you won’t have to limbo your way into the Note in a tight parking lot.

It’s entirely the wrong way to handle the car, so slow your roll. Where a CVT works is in smooth, efficient driving with moderate inputs. Call it the classical music approach.

Some demerits must be detracted for the way Nissan has used quite a lot of hard plastic in this interior, especially compared to how well the old Versa stacked up against its rivals. There are some nice touches, like twin gloveboxes, a leatherwrapped three-spoke steering-wheel, and smart-looking chrome doorhandles, but the lack of soft door armrests is a bit disappointing. Yes, this is an entry-level car, but the old car hid its economy roots better than the new one does.

Here, the Note excels, with the smooth, well-damped ride of a larger car, and only modest wind noise from the large side mirrors. It easily hits its fuel-economy measurements of 7.5L/100kms city and 6.0L/100kms highway, and a careful driver might even be able to beat Transport Canada’s figures without too much difficulty. Note that these are the new, more-stringent 5-cycle test figures, and should not be directly compared to 2014 numbers, as those are often off by 10-15%.

Trunk space is very good, and of particular note – not an intentional pun – is the adjustable sub-floor. This can be raised to allow a small gap that’ll fit a laptop or small bag, or lowered right down for maximum space. It flips up too, meaning you can use it to keep the groceries from sliding around too much.

Features:

Performance:

How much you’ll enjoy driving the Note will very much depend upon how you intend to drive it. To come back to our musical metaphors, you’d have a heck of time trying to mosh to Vivaldi.

However, pulling the vinyl out of the sleeve, so to speak, reveals the Note’s true nature. As soon as you open the door, you can tell that this car is designed for easy listenin’, with a roomy, comfortable cabin.

There’s also the Nissan Connect system, that allows you to access apps through your smart phone – fiddle as I might, I couldn’t get this to work with my iPhone.

Just as musical tastes run the gamut, so too do automotive needs.

Some buy for wants, others buy for needs – some for safety, others for technology, others for driving pleasure, and some for sheer fuel economy.

With the Versa Note, Nissan would like to play you a tune that’s heavy on the legato, while having only a pianissimo effect on your wallet. The question is: in the cutthroat small car market, is the Note’s performance emphatic enough to be heard?

White Rock

Rejuvenated Sea Festival enjoys ‘amazing’ success Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — Throughout the course of this past weekend’s Sea Festival in White Rock, organizer Michelle Pedersen was waiting for something to go wrong.

After a year of exhausting planning and fundraising, things were going a little too smoothly for Pedersen’s liking, especially considering that this was an entirely new board at the helm.

On both days thousands descended on both West and East Beach to take in the various music, performances, vendors and activities, with highlights like the fireworks and torchlight parade receiving major props.

And as the event came to a close Sunday night, it finally

Beat the heat

er s ! m m u S Saving

dawned on Pedersen that they’d pulled it off – the newly formed White Rock Events Society had successfully brought the Sea Festival back to life, complete with float, parade and fireworks – with nary a scratch to show.

“It seemed to be going so smoothly, I was on my toes waiting for something to go wrong but it all went amazing,” Pedersen said with a laugh on Tuesday.

“I would say it was a great success, we had a team that did a great job and it seems a bit unreal how well things went for us.”

On the event’s Facebook page, residents and visitors were congratulating Pedersen and the rest of the organizing team and volunteers for putting on such a stellar event.

An outdoor stage at Crescent Beach is being readied for Beach House Theatre’s pair of summer productions, which this year include Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors (opening a sixday run Tuesday, Aug. 12) and the more kid-friendly The Three Munschketeers (opening Monday, Aug. 11, based on stories by Robert Munsch and adapted by Debbie Patterson). The Comedy of Errors is a story of mistaken identities, misguided love, wrongful imprisonment and wild mishaps, all involving two sets of twins separated at birth. All shows are staged rain or shine at the tent-covered venue, located at Blackie Spit. All details are posted on the theatre company’s website, Beachhousetheatre.org.

After a couple of delays, Surrey’s Food Cart Fest is set to roll Saturday, Aug. 9 at Holland Park, from noon to 5 p.m. Arrival Agency’s new event is billed as “a massive gathering of B.C.’s best street food with DJs, markets, kids’ activities and outdoor fun,” on four Saturdays this month, closing Aug. 30. “We couldn’t be more excited about the new location at Holland Park,” said the company’s Thomas Anselmi. “Although we’ve faced delays and challenges, we feel like we’ve found the best location for Food Cart Fest in Surrey. It’s a really great atmosphere, perfect for a gigantic community picnic.” For more details, visit Foodcartfest.com.

Close to 150 cool cars and trucks are expected at North Delta Show & Shine, set for Saturday, Aug. 9 at Sungod rec centre’s rear parking lot.

Restored hot rods, muscle cars and more are part of the action, which includes a pancake breakfast, lunch served by North Delta Lions, a DJ and a $25-a-ticket raffle of an engine (proceeds to B.C. Children’s Hospital). The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 7815 112th St., North Delta. For more details, look for the events calendar at Delta.ca.

Sea Festival organizers bask in event’s success ‹ from page 3

“I just wanted to say a big ‘Thank you’ to this year’s organizers of the 65th Annual Sea Festival. The parade was phenomenal this year! It was the best Sea Festival parade in years,” wrote Marian Maniago. “A lot of people became disenchanted with the White Rock Sea Festival over the past few years as it had become very disappointing... you are definitely on the right track in reviving the Festival to its former glory.”

Pedersen said she was happy to hear the feedback from people and wanting to keep her own bias out of it, she said the event’s success should only be measured by the reaction of visitors and guests. To that end, when Pedersen heard parade grand marshal Kristi Gordon’s review, she was happy.

As Pedersen also works at Global BC, she asked Gordon to take part in the event, which Gordon was more than happy to do.

“I wanted Kristi from the get-go because she was born in White Rock, she’s from here,” said Pedersen.

Also, things were quiet on the police front,

she added.

“Talking to (the RCMP’s) Sgt. Manly on Sunday at the end of the day, he said there were no incidents,” said Pedersen. “There were a few later on after the bars closed Michelle Pederson but nothing to do with us. So I gave him a high-five and said ‘not bad for rookies!’”

Now waiting to hear if she’ll end up going to China for work or not, Pedersen said she’s looking forward to working as much with the board as she can in preparation for next year’s festival and noted there’s still a chance she might be staying.

“We don’t have to build a float next year and now we’ll really know where to put our time and money based on our experience this year,” she said. “So I think for me and the board, we’re just wanting to move forward and do it again.”

New building would honour late artist’s legacy Kristi Alexandra

owner of South Surrey’s Mind Over Matter Gallery, gave Thompson Properties the green light to name the proposed real estate development after her late husband.

The Arnold Mikelson building is to include a statue of Arnold on the property, as well as carved medallions on the north and south sides of building that reflect some of Arnold’s more iconic pieces like “The Chelsea Bird” and “Ogo Pogo”.

As well, John and Laura Gilroy of Gilroy Glass have designed a stained glass window for the building’s foyer – an image of Arnold Mikelson working in his art studio.

The development proposal first went public during the inaugural 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST on Sunday, Aug. 3, which Rick Hart and the FCA spearheaded to bring culture to the streets of Fleetwood.

FLEETWOOD — A new development proposal on the corner of 84th Avenue and Fraser Highway is one that local artists – both new and established – could soon find themselves celebrating.

Vancouver-based development company Thomas Properties has proposed a threestorey concrete office and retail building that would bring both commerce and a sense of art to the area.

Slated to be named after the late local icon, Arnold Mikelson, a well-known artist who emigrated from Eastern Europe with his wife decades ago, the building would include many other tributes to the artist and his work.

A weekly two-page news feature that delves deep into the people and issues in our community

She wants to change language of the road DEADLY CRASHES: Varinder Badh survived the crash that killed her

parents and now she is working to change the way we perceive such ‘accidents’ STORY BY TOM ZYTARUK

Varinder Badh, shown here talking to media outside Surrey court, says when you refer to a traffic crash as an “accident,” it diminishes its seriousness. (File photo)

T

hey say nothing reveals a person’s mettle better than their response to tragic circumstances. And things don’t get much more tragic than what Varinder Badh has been through.

After surviving a car crash in Newton that killed both of her

parents and left her with grave injuries, she doggedly followed the driver responsible for the crash through the courts while undergoing her agonizing physical and emotional recovery.

Then, remarkably, Varinder wrote a PhD thesis – completed with honours – related to her horrific experience in the hope

her research might help other people. It earned her a doctorate in social sciences, through Royal Roads University in Victoria.

Her thesis is entitled: “It is No Accident that this is Called an Accident - Vehicular Negligence: A Socio-legal Study of Crime, Law, and Public Safety.”

Varinder said her research

helped her to heal.

“I felt compelled to provide a voice to those who were no longer able,” she explained.

“This continues to be a life-long journey and I only hope that this research will have an impact on the way in which these crimes are discussed, perceived and treated.

“It is a legacy to my parents.”

‘THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT’

But first, the crash – which Dr. Badh would never call an accident.

It’s 1:30 a.m. July 12, 2008. Varinder, 31, her sister Rupi, 27, and their parents Dilbag, 61, and Bakhshish, 60, are driving home from Rupi’s engagement party at a local hall when their BMW is rear-ended at high speed by a white Acura TL that had apparently been racing with a black Camaro.

The crash happens in the 8500-block of 128th Street. The Badhs’ BMW slams into a telephone pole while the Acura slides on its roof for 100 metres or so before the driver and his passenger bail out.

Rupi, a nurse, had been driving. The road appeared clear, until suddenly she looked back and saw two sets of headlights racing up from behind. No time to react. She was going to tell her passengers to brace themselves, but it was too late.

When Rupi came to, she saw her mom dying in a pool of blood. She crawled out of the window and felt her pulse.

“Mom breathe, breathe,” she cried.

She checked her dad, no pulse. She tried dragging him out of the car. Varinder – who spent a long time afterward in hospital in intensive care – was unconscious.

Roughly 1,000 mourners attended the funeral service, at Riverside Funeral Home & Crematorium.

Raminder Badh, their eldest son, shared his rage as well as his grief at the funeral.

“This was not an accident,” he said of the crash.

Ravinder Singh Binning, 27, of Surrey was eventually charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death, one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and failing to stop at the scene of the crash.

Varinder and her family were beside themselves when they learned he was also charged with dangerous driving, impaired driving, failing to provide a sample, willfully resisting arrest, flight from a peace officer and assault of a peace officer in connection with an incident in Surrey on March 15, 2009, eight months after the Badh crash.

Binning also had other driving-related run-ins with police. He was fined $600 for failing to provide a breath sample and failing to give information about an accident following an incident in Delta on Aug. 8, 2004.

He also received violation tickets for speeding and violating a restriction on his driver’s licence for offences in Surrey on Jan. 20, 2001, and for driving prohibited by a traffic control device in Vancouver on March 15, 2005.

Varinder and 13 other family members attended an RCMP press conference, many of them were wearing black T-shirts with a photo of Bakhshish and Dilbag on front, with the caption “vehicular negligence = murder.”

Binning, a one-time professional truck driver turned road menace, was sentenced to four years in prison by a Surrey

Family and friends console each other at the funeral of Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh, which drew about 1,000 members of the community in 2008.

(File photo) provincial court judge for his role in the Badh hit-and-run crash.

CHANGE IN TERMINOLOGY

As for her subsequent studies, Varinder discovered that more people have died in traffic crashes than in both world wars.

And yet, as she noted in the executive summary of her 391-page thesis, the average person still views injury and or fatality from road crashes “as the result of chance or fate, as an act of God, or just bad luck.”

She found the primary determinant of this “dismissive attitude towards what is essentially a health and safety epidemic” to be how traffic collisions are labeled.

Referring to crashes as “accidents,” she noted, diminishes their seriousness.

As terminology affects perception, she maintains, it “minimizes the possible reckless and selfish behaviour that leads to injury and fatality on the roads.”

Varinder said the objective of her research was to investigate if current terminology used to describe traffic crashes involving death and injury have some impact on the “nonchalant, or passive” attitudes we have towards these “criminal acts.”

She examined language to determine if specific words tend to negate, undermine or dismiss negligent motor vehicle incidents as less than criminal.

“The research determined that in fact the use of soft terms such as accidents leaves an impression that the incidents are chance occurrences, fate, or God’s will, rather than perceiving them as preventable,” Varinder said.

“Changing language will start to change perception and perhaps society’s tolerance towards these types of criminal acts, which will be seen in driving behaviours and consequences for these negligent acts.”

Asked what impact she hopes her investigation will have on society, she noted that using the term “accident” removes accountability and “excuses or rationalized the behaviour, thereby deeming it unpreventable and a chance event.

If we simply change how we speak of these incidents then perhaps we will view them in a more serious light.

If our perception changes, our actions will follow suit.

“If we simply change how we speak of these incidents then perhaps we will view them in a more serious light,” she said. “If our perception changes, our actions will follow suit.”

Varinder said the desired result is for people to view the act of driving as serious, and to take responsibility for our actions. The byproduct of that should be

society holding drivers responsible for injury or fatality “to a higher standard” of accountability.

“Subsequently, sentences would reflect the serious nature of these acts.

Ultimately, I am hoping that society will refer to injury and fatality on the roads by using the term motor vehicle crash, which should slowly start to change perception and attitudes towards the serious nature of these acts.”

There are precedents. Take smoking in public areas, for example.

“Once people understood the health implications, this social activity has become illegal in most public areas and, in general, frowned upon,” Varinder noted.

“Once people become more educated in the rates of fatality on our roads, dismissal of motor vehicle incidents being seen as isolated events will disappear and accountability will increase.”

Varinder said the research process had a powerful impact on her personally considering she was also a participant.

“It was a difficult process,” she said. “I was a survivor and the personal impact was significant.”

She said victims are often regarded as victims of chance, something she finds “completely frustrating.

“In most cases, if it wasn’t for the reckless behaviour of the offender the incident could have been prevented,” Varinder said.

“The research for me was a process and journey towards healing, in that I needed to take what is a tragedy and channel that anger into something constructive.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Our view

Although clever, paying parents is bad idea T

he B.C. government’s offer to pay parents for kids kept out of school by the teachers’ strike shouldn’t be taken out of context – it’s just another negotiating tactic.

And it’s a shoddy one.

Instead of playing silly games and trying to score points, the government should get serious about ending the dispute when talks resume.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced recently that if the strike continues into September, the government will pay $40 a day for each child under the age of 13 kept out of school by the strike.

The money would come with no conditions, other than to compensate parents for child care, tutoring or other educational opportunities.

If it’s a cynical ploy to sway public sentiment in the government’s favour, it’s not likely to work.

Yes, it will be a hardship for many parents if school doesn’t start as scheduled in September, but it’s education they want, not child-care services.

But let’s face it – de Jong’s message is not to parents, but to the teachers’ union. He’s saying the government has no interest in negotiating. He’s saying the government holds all the cards and isn’t about to fold.

De Jong said the scheme would use the money the government has saved from not paying teachers, a clear message that teachers can’t expect compensation for lost wages when they finally return to classrooms.

It rubs teachers’ noses in the fact that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s strike fund has been drained, while the government is awash in the millions it has saved. It shows that the government has many options, while the teachers have one – strike action – and they have used it up.

It’s a clever strategy on the part of the government, but don’t mistake cleverness for intelligence. This is a bad idea for many reasons.

It sets an undesirable precedent. Since when does a government compensate people discomfited by a strike?

It does nothing to advance education

in B.C. Paying parents to do educational things with their children is no substitute for the services of professional teachers.

Even if the plan had merit, children over the age of 12 are left out, and yet theirs is the education most threatened by the strike. Post-secondary opportunities for high school students are in jeopardy.

Where does de Jong think parents will find daycare services, already in short supply?

The wide-open nature of the offer holds potential for abuse and is an invitation for fraud. It’s dropping an opportunity right into the lap of scam artists.

The proposal bypasses local school boards that B.C. governments have already emasculated to the point of irrelevance.

De Jong’s plan feeds the widespread cynicism that most British Columbians have about government-teacher relations.

The government that said it would seek a deal to ensure 10 years of peace with

teachers can’t even get through a few weeks of a strike without muddying the waters.

The system is broken. The government proposal does nothing to fix it.

The intransigence is not one-sided. The BCTF leaped in with a strike vote too early in the process and sought a contract that was out of line with reality and with what other government employees received.

British Columbians are tired of this game. They are tired of tit-for-tat tactics and spitting contests.

They are fed up with the posing and posturing. Parents want their children to be educated and teachers want to teach; they are stymied by a surfeit of politicking and a lack of leadership.

Both sides should stop trying to save face and start trying to save education. A child’s education is worth more than $40 a day.

Your view

A list of agencies would help seniors The Editor, Re: “The struggles of being a senior,” the Now, July 31.

I read your article on seniors with great interest. My only concern was that you didn’t mention any employment agencies in Surrey for seniors who want to continue working, or in my case who have to work to make ends meet.

I am 71 years old, and am currently working two little part-time jobs. It keeps me focused and out in the community.

Please list agencies. I’m sure it would help me and other seniors.

Education is essential – up to a point

The government desperately needs to win the appeal and is leery of passing another law after two previous ones have been tossed out of court.

Another loss would hand the BCTF a huge win on the expensive learningconditions issues that are part of the dispute.

Also in play is a novel sort of jiujitsu strategy the government has adopted.

As explained by Finance Minister Mike de Jong, teachers’ contracts have been legislated so often that the BCTF now fully expects to be ordered back to work after work stoppages. He said past governments have reacted too quickly.

The idea is that the BCTF goes to the

T

he way it’s supposed to work is, all government spending gets approved by elected officials before the money goes out the door.

They divvy the government’s budget into “votes,” with each vote representing a ministry’s budget. Each one gets debated and passed in the house, and the money gets spent on the basis that it was scrutinized by elected representatives.

The Education Ministry’s $5.3billion vote for the year was passed May 1 on the assumption that the money would run the school system.

But there was nothing during debate about the prospect of carving $12 million a day in unspent money due to a teachers’ strike out of the budget and handing it directly to parents.

It raises the question of whether the potential September tactic announced last week is appropriate. It might be only parliamentary purists raising eyebrows at the government’s fallback plan if the strike isn’t settled by next month.

But forking over $40 a day per kid under 13 to make up for the absence of a school system would be a pretty novel use of tax money that was originally dedicated for the school system – in fact, promised to school districts.

No doubt there’s a way around the convention if it turns out to be a problem. There usually is. If the plan takes effect next month, the government could argue the money can’t be spent as earmarked because the teachers aren’t working. So it is free to redirect it elsewhere. Or the issue

Arzo Ansary haha yeah because we've been so good at increasing the number of childcare spaces to meet with the growing demand over the last two decades. NOT. where are all the kids gonna go? do they know most parents won't be able to find a daycare because there just aren't enough spaces? I don't understand the logic. Why can't all that money just be put towards giving the teachers the increases they want in the contract?

Business Conference

Les Leyne

Here’s what our Facebook followers were saying about the province offering parents $40 a day should the strike continue into the fall:

wall with contract demands because they know a back-to-work bill will be coming eventually. The expectation becomes a strong part of their strategy.

(That’s why the union had next to nothing in a strike fund.)

This time around, the government is holding off, in a bid to force real negotiations. They’ve been negotiating for 18 months, through two education ministers, two union presidents, a shake-up of the government negotiating side and one election. It’s all been a pointless waste of time, but they’ll take another run at it on Friday (Aug. 8).

The announced plan to compensate parents through September if there’s no deal confirms again there will be no back-to-work order at least until October. It gives teachers another paycheque-free month to examine their shrinking bank accounts and watch $12 million a day that could have been in their hands get doled out to parents instead.

It also turns on its head the historic understanding that education is an essential service. It’s that designation that always been used to justify imposing contracts on the BCTF in the past. The government got away with letting most of June go by without imposing a deal because it’s a pretty unproductive month at the best of times.

But holding to that stance at the start of another year makes something unmistakably clear. The B.C. Liberals think the education system is essential only up to a point.

The more essential things are to avoid doing anything that would blow their chances in court this fall, and force the BCTF to accept the fact that the deal has to be negotiated this time.

Weddings • Gala Events • Catering

ViewPoint

could go to court, which is where the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation spend a lot of time in any event.

The B.C. Liberals are acutely conscious of how judges view their negotiating tactics these days, because the appeal of the government’s huge loss to the BCTF is set for this October.

The Supreme Court condemned their negotiating strategy and quashed their last legislation to do with teachers – again – in January.

DEBATE Letters

Parking is last thing you should need to worry about at ER The Editor, Recently, I had reason to be dropping off my partner to the new emergency department at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

While there, I discovered to my horror that not only was there no temporary parking to assist the patient with initial drop off and admission but there is no free parking to wait with the patient. Instead, parking costs $4.50 per hour.

Fortunately for us (from a parking cost perspective) it was a critical care admission and was only parked at ER for two hours.

On top of that, when I was rushing to get my partner to the hospital, the last thing on my mind was change or even having to pay for parking. (I guess that is where having a credit card comes in handy.)

But what if a person does not have a credit card or forgets it and does not have

any change?

This has to change. This is a major hospital with a very busy ER. With wait times exceeding six to eight hours, how can people afford to drop off a family member to ER and wait for the outcome? That privilege would cost in excess of $50.

Oh, and then to top it off – I got a ticket. I came back to see a ticket on the windshield for $84 for not having paid at the electronic

meter. Fortunately I kept the receipt. My ticket was issued within six minutes of having paid for parking.

With the stress of someone in critical need of emergency care, the last thing one needs to be concerned about is paying for parking or worse, getting a ticket for being too absorbed with the family member in ER. Martin Rooney, Surrey

The Editor, This is to thank everyone who stopped to help my father, my mother and I when our car broke down at the Husky gas station on July 30.

We are so grateful and completely shocked at how many people stopped to assist and help us. Firstly, thank you to the gentleman with the big muscles who helped us push our car into the gas station. Secondly, thank you to the two gentlemen from J. M. T Auto Solutions who kindly stayed with my father and just out of goodness helped him charge his battery and offer free service to see what was wrong.

Thank you to the several other people who inquired, stopped to help figure out what was wrong and generally make sure we were OK. Thank you, Husky, for allowing us to park our car overnight.

It makes me proud to live in Whalley, to see how many wonderful and caring people really do live here. Thank you for showing me how genuine and kind my community really is. People can say what they want about Surrey, but one thing is for certain: Surrey residents have a heart of gold. Much love and many, many thanks, Hill family (Angie, Charlie and Natalie), Surrey

Some suggestions on suites The Editor, I am extremely disappointed with the onslaught of illegal suites and mega houses. For the most part this is now an ugly city to live in.

The city should inspect and remove all illegal wiring at homeowners expense and should reduce the maximum size of a house allowed on a lot. There should also be bigger fines for infraction of by-laws and spot inspections without notice. The city should also hire a dedicated enforcement agency with teeth to enforce by-laws.

A dozen roses to our local journalists who, despite the craze of the Internet, strive weekly to do our community good by providing interesting, relatable information and news stories to read in the paper during the evening. As a university student interested in publishing, it gives me hope. Thank you!

A million red roses to Sophia Walia for hosting a great charity tournament.

The tournament raised awareness of certain types of cancer, which are more predominant in men. She is a great person and put a lot of time and effort into this field hockey tournament. Great job, Sophia! All of Surrey’s field hockey players salute you. Field Hockey Tackles Cancer was a great event.

A huge bouquet of roses to the men who helped us push, up an incline, our very heavy VW Westfalia out of the intersection of King George Boulevard and Highway 10. And thank you to the very pleasant and competent Unitow truck driver.

Roses to the organizers and volunteers of the White Rock Sea Festival. You put on an event to be proud of.

Roses to Hayley Grice, who the Now featured for being the only girl in the provincials. Great job, Hayley!

Rotten tomatoes to the teachers who decided to go on strike two weeks before the end of the school year. You say you do this for the kids – it had nothing to do with the kids, you were trying to make a point and failed by walking out on the students. Why didn’t you wait until exams/graduation were complete? I give you a failing grade – summer school for you. Oh wait, there is no summer school.

Rotten tomatoes to the Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency department for excessively long wait times. It seems that they want you to wait at least six hours if you have to go there. The whole place seems to be in slow motion. I have complained to the hospital and it doesn’t even respond.

Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey, which spent months re-doing the road along King George Boulevard and 16th Avenue. The city planted grass (which has not been mowed but weed-eaten twice) and 16 cedar trees at the cul-desac and all but one is dying. Maybe they should have had someone water them.

What a waste to the taxpayer.

Rotten tomatoes to whoever is vandalizing the volunteer search and rescue team’s equipment, stealing and destroying things. What if you needed rescuing and they’d say “all our equipment in that area has been stolen and we can’t get in there without our equipment?”

Rotten tomatoes to the store owner who parked in a handicapped zone and when confronted, pushed a 75-year-old man to the ground and broke his hip.

Shame, I will not shop there again!

Rotten tomatoes to Linda Hepner for even putting the idea of a ferris wheel out there. Give your head a shake! Surrey needs responsible government, not an amusement park philosophy.

Sex offender still with theatre group, two others resign White Rock Players’ Club cancels production after Ryan Mooney’s sex crime is brought to light Kristi Alexandra

Fires keep crews busy Tuesday Matt Law

Now contributor Twitter @mjlaw_photo

SURREY — Fire crews were kept busy Tuesday morning after two separate fires were sparked in Surrey.

At around 6 a.m. firefighters were called to a grass fire in a ravine near King George Boulevard and 132nd St. Surrey battalion chief Tom Morgan said that no residential properties were damaged and despite some difficult terrain, crews were able to put the fire out without much trouble.

Firefighters responded to a second call at around 9:30 a.m. when flames were spotted coming from an abandoned house

SIZZLIN’

r e m su sem s nsation

at the corner of 97a Avenue and 137 Street.

Morgan told the Now that the home was abandoned and had been boarded up making it difficult for crews to fight.

“Because it was abandoned it wasn’t safe to go in to fight the fire and so we had to fight it from outside,” he said. “Surrey has a program for any vacant houses that we try and get the owners to board them up, you can’t keep the people out of there if they want in but at least it’s something to slow them down,” he said.

By Tuesday afternoon the cause of the fire was not known and for safety reasons investigators had not attempted to enter the building. matt@mattlaw.ca

WHITE ROCK — The White Rock Players’ Club artistic director is still on the theatre group’s board, despite reports that he had handed in his resignation.

Ryan Mooney, 32, was set to star in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged when the Now broke the story that the theatre group was looking for volunteers – including young people – despite some board members knowing that Mooney, the group’s artistic director, is on the list of registered sex offenders.

The production, which was set to kick off on Aug. 6 and run until Aug. 21 at Coast Capital Playhouse, has been cancelled following a meeting of the board members on Monday (Aug. 4).

Two other board members, Angie Koropatnisky and Matt Davenport, resigned from their positions in the past week. It is uncertain whether vice-president Kate Stadel will also resign from her position, but thus far Mooney has made no moves to leave the company.

“At this time, we have not asked for his resignation,” said the WRPC’s pastpresident, Dave Baron. “It’s his own personal decision. We have no position on (it). We are a volunteer club, he is a volunteer.”

When asked why another media outlet had reported that Mooney resigned, Baron said, “I think it was misconstrued.”

Recently, the WRPC told the Now that the group was looking for volunteers. Asked if the club is looking for younger volunteers, Stadel replied “it would definitely be a benefit for younger people. I think if they’re interested in trying theatre, this would be a good place to start if you’re still in high school or you’re not quite sure what you’re

going to do after high school.”

In 2009, Mooney pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl while working on a school play in 2006. He received a one-year conditional sentence, three years probation, was ordered to provide a DNA sample and his name was added to the sex offender registry for 20 years.

Karen Mirsky, Mooney’s lawyer for the case, told the judge that he changed his career and wouldn’t be working with young people again.

According to Baron, Mooney has not directly worked with any minors during his involvement with the WRPC. “He has voluntarily and with the consensus of the board avoided any contact with minors,” Baron said.

Mooney has directed many theatrical productions with the WRPC but excludes himself from the annual Christmas Pantomime, which customarily has minors in it.

Although some board members have resigned, Baron said that he doesn’t think that Mooney is at any fault.

“In our experience, Ryan has not done anything wrong,” he said. “He served his sentence, he’s abided by the requirements of the court and we feel that, in that respect, he deserves a chance to prove that he’s rehabilitated.”

Though the WRPC, which operates Coast Capital Playhouse, will not be producing another play until October, the building will still host concerts and other productions by rental groups.

White Rock Players’ Club has an annual general meeting scheduled for Aug. 17.

Mooney could not be reached for comment before deadline.

INFORM Surrey, White Rock, Delta

Briefly

Girl attacked near high school in Surrey’s Clayton Heights SURREY — A teenaged girl was attacked on a path behind Clayton Heights Secondary in broad daylight last week, say Surrey RCMP. On Sunday, July 27, the 16year-old girl was walking through the area at around 2 p.m. when the suspect approached her from behind, said Cpl. Dale Carr, a spokesperson for Surrey RCMP. The man put his arm around the girl’s neck and she screamed. He let her go and ran away to the north.

Police foot patrols, including The suspect searching by Police Dog Services officers, failed to find him.

After speaking to the victim and other witnesses, Carr said the man is believed to be a white male in his mid-30s, six feet tall, with a medium build and dark hair.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a rust or tan coloured tank top, black shorts, and sunglasses.

A composite sketch of the man has been created, and police are asking anyone who recognizes him to call the RCMP. Clayton Heights Secondary school is located at 7003 188th Street near the Surrey-Langley border, west of Willoughby.

Anyone with information on the man should call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Police nab Surrey man wanted for possession of child porn RICHMOND — A routine traffic stop in Richmond netted police a 29-year-old man who was wanted Canadawide on child pornography charges.

Geoffrey Scott Ambridge of Surrey was stopped by police on Chatham Street near No.1 Road in Steveston after the officer noticed the, “vehicle not matching the driver,” according to Corporal Stephanie Ashton, media relations officer for the Richmond RCMP. Police ran a check on the driver of the car, which was reportedly registered to someone other than Ambridge but was not stolen, and discovered he was wanted on charges of possession of child pornography and made the arrest.

“Our road safety officers are often the first line of investigation for arrests like this one,” Ashton said in a press release. “They deal with so many people during their vehicle stops and they are always looking beyond the motor vehicle act.”

Ambridge is being held in Richmond pending transportation to Calgary where he will appear in court.

Three new candidates enter fray

Three new candidates have come forward to throw their names into the mix for the upcoming municipal elections in Surrey, White Rock and Delta.

In Surrey, Fleetwood Community Association President Rick Hart has declared his intent to run as an independent this November, eyeing to nab a seat as councillor.

Hart has been a longtime advocate for Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood and most recently organized the 84th Avenue Café StreetFEST, an outdoor arts and music festival in Fleetwood.

Hart could not be reached by deadline.

In White Rock, Dave Chesney will be running for a spot on council after coming close several times in the past.

Chesney is the publisher and editor of the White Rock news site, The White Rock Sun and has been involved in media and entertainment for more than 30 years.

Most recently, Chesney ran in the 2012 White Rock byelection, coming in as runner-up to Bill Lawrence. He’s lived in White Rock for over 25 years and is a prominent figure in the community.

“I’ve run in three elections and two by-elections, the last two I would have been elected,” he said. “My father at a very young age instilled in me that ‘don’t just sit around and bitch about something. If something bothers you enough, roll up your shirt sleeves and get to work.

“I think I can do a tremendous job as a member of

White Rock council, representing to people. I talk to them and I’m on the street all the time and I think I’ve got a really good feeling for what people would like to see in White Rock.”

Finally, in Delta first-time candidate Lori Mayhew has announced that she will be gunning for a spot this fall on Delta council. An 18-year-resident of Delta who previously worked as a claims adjustor for ICBC, Mayhew said her focus is on keeping Delta a welcoming and affordable place for families.

“From Ladner to North Delta, we’re one city. My kids play ball hockey and soccer games with kids from Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta,” she said. “We rely on the same services and need our municipal government to deliver these services equally across our communities.”

She plans to spend the rest of the summer and fall knocking on doors and meeting Delta residents at community events.

“As a city, we’re grappling with several issues, from how to do development sustainable while protecting our valuable agricultural land to advocating for more transit and a stronger voice in regional decisions. I want hear what Delta residents think about these issues and where their priorities lie,” she said.

The election is set for Nov. 15.

White Rock BIA names new executive director

Douglas Smith offers ‘wealth of experience’ Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

WHITE ROCK — After four months without an executive director, White Rock Business Improvement Association has named Douglas Smith to the position.

BIA president Lynne Sinclair said Smith applied during the group’s extensive search period and ended up being selected as the best for the job.

Smith has a history of event planning work, including serving as a managing partner of Alliance West Sports and Entertainment, which produced events such as the Khatsahlano street party in Vancouver and the Uptown Festival in New Westminster. Smith also worked for the cities of Surrey and Parksville in managerial roles.

“We’re very excited to have him, he’s got a wealth of experience in a lot of different areas which really goes well with the job,” said Sinclair. “You have to be an expert in

many things, not just one thing.”

Sinclair noted that Smith also helped with the BIA years ago in producing the outdoor movie events, finding sponsors for the event.

“I am very excited to be joining the BIA”, said Smith in a release. “As a longtime resident of the area, I am very eager to work with our local retail merchants and other key stakeholders in the community. We all love White Rock and have the best interests of the community at heart. There are some great partnerships that can be cemented including our long established relationship with the city, mayor and council.”

Sinclair said she’s looking forward to working with Smith at the BIA and what he’ll bring to the role.

“So we’re really pleased and I think Douglas and I would both say that we fully intend to have him in the job for a long time doing great things for White Rock and White Rock businesses,” said Sinclair.

Smith replaces Lyn Hellyar, who left the position in April.

Douglas Smith has been named as the White Rock BIA’s new executive director. Smith replaces Lyn Hellyar, who left the role in April.

INFORM Surrey crime stats

Property crime up, violent crime down SURREY — Surrey has seen an increase in property crime and fraud this quarter compared to the same period last year, according to statistics released by police this week.

Violent crime, however, decreased and although homicides spiked in the last quarter, there has been a 42 per cent drop to date compared to last year.

Surrey RCMP say there has been a regional increase in property crime and Surrey is no exception. Last quarter, there was a 25-per-cent increase in property crime.

Only two types of property crime decreased: business break-ins and theft over $5,000. Police say it’s often the case that a small group of thieves commits a large percentage of the crimes.

Fraud went up 52 per cent in the last

on the portion not covered

quarter compared to 2013. Specifically, police are seeing thieves targeting people’s credit card information.

Although violent crime fell eight per cent in the last quarter and nine per cent yearto-date, the number of attempted murder charges increased by a whopping 200 per cent, sexual assault by 14 per cent and abduction or kidnapping by 86 per cent.

Police attribute the increase in attempted murders to the use of knives during fights.

In a news release, Sgt. Dale Carr said police statistics can change as investigations progress.

“Criminal investigations are fluid in nature,” said Carr. “As police gather evidence, conduct witness statements, and dig deeper into a file, the elements of an offence can change.”

GO! The arts

Website a treasure trove of Shakespearean discovery ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

T

he Shakespeare saga continues.

Bill the Bard is still stirring up the Englishspoken world nearly 400 years after his death. No doubt the works attributed to Shakespeare have had a profound effect on our language and on theatre itself. After all these years, does it really matter who wrote what? I mean, it’s not like royalties are involved.

The important thing is that this body of work exists and is still affecting our lives today.

After last week’s column, I received an email from an Alan Tarica, who sent me a link to an article he had written regarding the Shakespeare controversy. It is all very fascinating. Tarica describes his two-decade effort as a series of “little epiphanies.”

For those with a curiosity about Elizabethan literature and the origins of Shakespeare’s writings, Tarica’s website is a treasure trove of information and discovery. It will take some dedication to the subject to wade through it all, but hey – it is an educational opportunity and might challenge your concepts.

As Tarica puts it, “I’ve illustrated to so many they are left with the choice of deciding if I’ve written an incredible conspiracy theory, with an amazingly rich historical and political back-story and all utilizing Shakespeare’s very own completely unadulterated words, versus the notion that virtually every Englishspeaking university is teaching complete nonsense as if it was incontrovertible fact.”

As Tarica sees it, “the project is not finished in the least. I don’t think a project like this can ever be finished.” He attributes some of the sonnets to the illegitimate child of Queen Elizabeth I. Start the discussion now; I told you it is an intricate and involved theory.

So, now we not only have a “who wrote Shakespeare” challenge, but “what is being taught in university courses” challenge. Did this actor/ playwright ever envision the future? Did he care?

Was he just an actor who had to write his own script so he had an acting role?

Hey, it isn’t unknown! And today, people are “rewriting” Shakespeare just because.

Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield created The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged. This wild and wacky tribute features all 37 of Shakespeare’s

of local history and flavour. Red Rock Diner is now playing until Aug. 23 – that’s 24 more performance! Tickets start at $29 and are available at Artsclub.com.

You just never know what you might discover in live theatre performances – perhaps the mysteries of the universe or the answer to “who wrote the sonnets.” Or just enjoy.

KIDZ BIZ Youth baseball

Surrey ball teams find success Kyle Benning

Now contributor Twitter @KBBenning

A Whalley Little League team flew home Tuesday after representing Canada at the Little League Intermediate 50/70 World Series in Livermore, California.

The boys came back to a warm welcome from friends and family after finishing 1-2 in the double-elimination tournament.

The team had a slow start, suffering an 11-1 loss in their first match to Liga Pabou Little League, the team from Curacao representing Latin America.

Two days later, the Canadian champions gave Asia-Pacific a run for their money before they scored seven runs in the eighth inning to lose 9-2.

In the consolation game, Whalley was able to beat Taylor Little League 7-6 thanks to late-game heroics from Braden Scott.

The senior team is currently playing at the Canadian Championships in Victoriaville, Quebec, and has punched a ticket to the semifinal after winning

four of six round-robin games.

If they win the tournament, they will represent Canada at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Back at home, Cloverdale Minor Baseball made it to the provincial finals in two different age groups.

At the Peewee AAA Provincial Championships, hosts Cloverdale lost 12-8 to Abbotsford in the final.

Cloverdale started the round robin with two losses, but managed to claw back after winning their next two and qualifying for the semifinal against Burnaby.

Despite scoring five runs in the first inning, the Spurs couldn’t hold on as Abbotsford scored four runs in the third inning and another six by the time the sixth inning started.

Coach Tim Blake said his team was considered an underdog to make the final, but said they have been working on the mental side of the game.

“We worked a lot on that this year,” he said. “Baseball is a funny game sometimes. It can go either way and we just have to battle onto the next one.

I always say you have to have a short memory.”

Despite losing, the team still qualifies for the Western championships and will travel to Manitoba to compete in the competition, which start Aug. 15.

At the Bantam AAA Provincial Championships, Cloverdale are repeat champions after beating Abbotsford 5-2. Last year, the boys managed to beat Abbotsford in the semifinal before beating Vancouver in the final. This year, the team did it in reverse order by beating Vancouver 10-2 in the semifinal before beating Abbotsford.

Head coach Garnett Pawliw said no other team can compare to the success his team has had winning provincials at the tadpole and mosquito levels.

“I would say I’ve had the core of the team since they were seven years old.

I really think for the most part our kids on that team will all play college baseball. They’re that good,” he said.

With the provincial title, the boys have qualified for the national championship, in Vaughn, Ontario starting on Aug. 21. Last season, they finished second at the nationals.

GO! Music

Zakiya Hooker carries on late father’s blues legacy Kristi Alexandra

Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra

WHITE ROCK — It would be hard to say Zakiya Hooker doesn’t have an authority on authentic blues music, considering her childhood playground was a plethora of blues haunts where her father – the late American music legend John Lee Hooker – helped pioneer the movement.

John Lee Hooker was best known for his “back porch blues.”

Although she and her siblings grew up music at the forefront of their young lives in the early ’50s and ’60s, it wasn’t until later in life that she decided to pursue a career in music because, well, she had some living to do first.

“It took some time because I was a single parent. I had three children and I had to raise those children first. It was a priority,” said Zakiya, who decided to professionally pursue a music career at the age of 42.

“I would always write, I would always have the blues… we always had it,” said the

singer, who is now also a great-grandmother.

Zakiya, who currently hails from Georgia, is back in Canada for the first time in 12 years, having spent most of her time as a professional chanteuse playing bars in Europe.

Zakiya Hooker She performs at White Rock’s Blue Frog Studios on Thursday, Aug. 14. Tickets are $35. Check Bluefrogstudios.ca for more information.

While the blues may be in Zakiya’s blood, the road to musical success hasn’t always been easy just because of her namesake.

“At first it was kind of rough ’cause, you know, those are big shoes and you don’t fill ’em, you just kinda walk behind them,” she told the Now. “It was hard for people to get adjusted to me, especially as a woman in the blues. It’s a lot harder than a man in the blues.” see full story at Thenownewspaper.com

Footgolf

Soccer-golf hybrid kicks off in Surrey Summer is here and it’s time to get out and enjoy this special time of the year. Over the next three months the Now will offer you some unique sporting ways to experience summer without leaving town.

Now contributor Twitter @kbbenning

SURREY — Get your knee-high argyle socks and flat caps ready because footgolf has landed in town.

Eaglequest Coyote Creek has opened a course for the soccer-golf cross sport and held a grand-opening event on Wednesday, July 23.

This is the first footgolf course to open in the Lower Mainland. There are already two other courses open in the province – one at Sun Rivers Golf Resort in Kamloops and the other at Skaha Meadows in Penticton.

Canadian FootGolf Association codirector Alex Elliot said that even though the weather didn’t cooperate, it didn’t dampen the mood of the day.

“The event went great,” he said. “It was the one rainy day of the month. But once you’re out there playing, it’s pretty fun, rain or shine.

“There was a 10-year-old who hit an eagle on a par five. He hit one over the river and it dropped in the hole,” Elliot added.

The sport is as simple as it sounds. Players kick a size five soccer ball down a fairway towards a 21-inch hole.

“For people who are playing for the first time, it’s pretty exhilarating,” Elliot said.

“They get to hit over the river, hit over the bunker and all the little obstacles really makes it a fun experience for the little guys.

For the older crowd out there, for them to have a drink in hand and able to kick a soccer ball and enjoy the technique aspect of playing on a golf course is something different.”

The sport was created in the early 2000s, but the official rules were set in the Netherlands in 2009.

The event had 210 slots for players playing an 18-hole round and Elliot said they nearly filled them all, which he was impressed by as it was a Wednesday morning.

It cost $40 to play in the tournament.

The cost included the green fees, a CFGA membership, lunch and a $5 donation

It’s nice to play a sport like footgolf where the competitive level drops a bit, but the enjoyment and the ability to enjoy football culture and to get together with a bunch of guys and enjoy the sport.

towards the Right to Play organization.

He mentioned that Coyote Creek will hold two more events – one in August and one in September – with at least one of them landing on a Sunday.

Elliot, who is also one of the founders and co-owners of the Vancouver Futsal

Association, said even though it is less of a high-intensity sport, the technical aspect is still present.

“It’s nice to play a sport like footgolf where the competitive level drops a bit, but the enjoyment and the ability to enjoy football culture and to get together with a

bunch of guys and enjoy the sport,” he said.

The CFGA’s co-director also said the sport is all-inclusive and allows players of all skill levels and ages the chance to appreciate the sport.

“The thing I love about it is that anyone and everyone can play. Whether you’re an extremely talented soccer player, you can enjoy it for the technical aspects or if you’ve never played soccer before but you’re a soccer enthusiast and like watching soccer on TV, it’s a sport where you can still toepoke the ball down the pitch, have a drink in hand and enjoy the day.” see › page 34

Getting Started

The main thing needed to play any ball sport is the ball itself and footgolf is no different. Size five balls are used when playing and are available for rental before teeing off, or you can bring your own.

Despite soccer being a sport full of passion and excitement, footgolf is played on a golf course – which means that etiquette of the game is a little different.

Soccer cleats are not allowed on the course because of the studs at the bottom of the shoes.

Flat runners or indoor shoes are options, but turf shoes are optimal. Elliot said that turf shoes have enough grip on the base of the shoes to prevent someone from slipping.

Players will also need to wear a collared shirt and golf shorts, but the courses are a little more relaxed on a day-to-day basis.

Your journey starts here.

Note SR

There’s enough legroom here that Wilt Chamberlain’s chauffeur should have owned one brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

•

Environment:

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Do you like music? If so you will no doubt enjoy the delicate stringed musings of Vivladi’s Four Seasons, followed immediately by a bracing heavy-metal blast from Killdozer. And who could forget the time that noted Vancouver tenor Ben Heppner brought us all to tears with an impassioned rendition of Nessun Dorma, before galvanizing the audience further with a profanity-laced performance of Tupac Shakur’s Shorty Wanna be a Thug.

Wait, that never happened. As it turns out, musical tastes vary widely – as do the sorts of things people look for in their cars.

With the Versa Note, Nissan would like to play you a tune that’s heavy on the legato, while having only a pianissimo effect on your wallet. The question is: in the cutthroat small car market, is the Note’s performance emphatic enough to be heard?

Design:

There’s not much a designer can do with a footprint this small, unless some element of retro-kitsch is what’s being aimed for. Rather than making their hatchback resemble the Datsun B210, Nissan’s gone for a fresh modern take that’s reserved. Given how well the old Versa hatchback has aged (it hit the roads more than seven years ago now), that’s a good thing long-term.

Standard cars come with 15” alloy wheels, but there’s a choice of top trims with 16” alloys. This week’s tester was the SR model, and had nicely machine-finished darkpainted rims shod with low-rolling-resistance tires.

The SR package is approximately the same as the old Sport package Nissan used to sell on its Versa, and includes unique front and rear fascias, side skirts, dark-look headlights and fog-lights, and a rear spoiler. Judging by the album cover, this is potentially a sporty little number.

Any Nissan salesman worth his salt will insist that you sit in the back seat of the Note, even before you plonk yourself up front. There’s enough legroom here that Wilt Chamberlain’s chauffeur should have owned one. Rear-facing child seats are an easy fit, leaving plenty of room for adults up front, and four adults could easily pop across town in complete comfort.

Powered by a 1.6L four-cylinder making a very modest 109hp and 107lb/ft of torque, the Note is available with either a 5-speed manual transmission, or a continuously variable transmission. The CVT is the only offering on SR models.

Even though the SR model looks like the sportiest version in the range, it doesn’t have any chassis enhancements, and comes with those aforementioned low rolling-resistance tires. Trying to carve up a corner with this car is akin to playing Guns n’ Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine on the oboe. It’s not that you can’t do so, it’s just that it’s very silly to try.

Body roll is moderate, but the high seating position and numb steering feel aren’t exactly designed to put you in attack mode. Work the accelerator too hard, and that little 1.6L is going to let you know it’s doing a tough job.

The SR model comes with sporty-looking suede seat-covers trimmed in orange. Sporty they may look, but they’re actually a bit more comfort-oriented, with less bolstering than I’d like to see. The trade-off on this is easier ingress and egress, and with a very upright driving position, you won’t have to limbo your way into the Note in a tight parking lot.

It’s entirely the wrong way to handle the car, so slow your roll. Where a CVT works is in smooth, efficient driving with moderate inputs. Call it the classical music approach.

Some demerits must be detracted for the way Nissan has used quite a lot of hard plastic in this interior, especially compared to how well the old Versa stacked up against its rivals. There are some nice touches, like twin gloveboxes, a leatherwrapped three-spoke steering-wheel, and smart-looking chrome doorhandles, but the lack of soft door armrests is a bit disappointing. Yes, this is an entry-level car, but the old car hid its economy roots better than the new one does.

Here, the Note excels, with the smooth, well-damped ride of a larger car, and only modest wind noise from the large side mirrors. It easily hits its fuel-economy measurements of 7.5L/100kms city and 6.0L/100kms highway, and a careful driver might even be able to beat Transport Canada’s figures without too much difficulty. Note that these are the new, more-stringent 5-cycle test figures, and should not be directly compared to 2014 numbers, as those are often off by 10-15%.

Trunk space is very good, and of particular note – not an intentional pun – is the adjustable sub-floor. This can be raised to allow a small gap that’ll fit a laptop or small bag, or lowered right down for maximum space. It flips up too, meaning you can use it to keep the groceries from sliding around too much.

Features:

Performance:

How much you’ll enjoy driving the Note will very much depend upon how you intend to drive it. To come back to our musical metaphors, you’d have a heck of time trying to mosh to Vivaldi.

However, pulling the vinyl out of the sleeve, so to speak, reveals the Note’s true nature. As soon as you open the door, you can tell that this car is designed for easy listenin’, with a roomy, comfortable cabin.

The Note comes very-well equipped at even low levels, with a backup camera, Bluetooth handsfree and streaming audio, and a nice-looking colour display screen on midrange models. There’s also the Nissan Connect system, that allows you to access apps through your smart phone – fiddle as I might, I couldn’t get this to work with my iPhone.

The SL model is the queen of the range, with a 360-degree camera, push-button ignition, and heated seats. SV models can be equipped with everything you need for prices in the mid-teens.

Some demerits must be handed out for the way Nissan has used quite a lot of hard plastic in this interior, especially compared to how well the old Versa stacked up against its rivals. There are some nice touches, like twin gloveboxes, a leatherwrapped, threespoke steering wheel, and smart looking chrome door handles, but the lack of soft door armrests is a bit disappointing. Yes, this is an entry level car, but the old car hid its economy roots better than the new one does.

PERFORMANCE

How much you’ll enjoy driving the Note will very much depend upon how you intend to drive it. To come back to our musical metaphors, you’d have a heck of time trying to mosh to Vivaldi.

apps through your smartphone – fiddle as I might, I couldn’t get this to work with my iPhone.

The SL model is the queen of the range, with a 360-degree camera, pushbutton ignition and heated seats. SV models can

be equipped with everything you need for prices in the midteens, and represent the best value in the Note line.

GREEN LIGHT

Spacious interior; comfortable ride; excellent fuel-economy.

STOP SIGN

Modest acceleration; hard plastics in interior; sporty looks don’t match the drive.

BOTTOM LINE

Hits all the high notes if you’re looking for a compact cruiser.
