Langley’s world champion devotes his life to jiu-jitsu, family Discipline and self control are key to being an effective practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Bibiano Fernandes would know; he’s a virtuoso of the popular martial art. Troy Landreville

LANGLEY — Bundled in a black toque and jacket, Bibiano Fernandes sat crosslegged on a couch inside a chilly Marcus Soares BJJ Academy on a biting cold Sunday afternoon. The 34-year-old Langley resident and five-time world Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) champion waxed about his young family, which includes wife Amanda and children Eljah, nine, Gabriel, four, and two-year-old Lucas, and his sport, which has given as much to him as he’s given to it. When Fernandes landed on Canadian soil a decade ago, he couldn’t speak a word of English. “I was born in Brazil, I have my friends there, but I live in Canada, and feel very connected to the people who live here,” said Fernandes, whose native tongue is Portuguese. “I feel that maybe in another life, I was born here.” Fernandes has developed close bonds in Canada, including one with mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and personal trainer Tyler Jackson, who considers his friend to be a world class athlete, calling him “very likely one of the three best martial artists in the world at his weight class.” “His work ethic is amazing,” Jackson said, regarding Fernandes. “When I first met him, he was already a five-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but had little to no experience in wrestling or kickboxing.” Jackson added that instead of relying on BJJ, which he was already adept at, Fernandes “worked his tail off to become as good as he could in the other aspects of MMA, and is now recognized as an extremely well-rounded see FERNANDES › page B3

LANGLEY — “It’s a gift to be young,” says the mother in As Little Children, a brand new play premiering at Trinity Western University this month. The script, a commissioned work by TWU alumna M.J. Eden, explores the power of faith in the face of tragic circumstances. The inspiring journey of a young girl’s belief in miracles is the heart of this poignant family drama. When 12-year-old Aline loses her father, she refuses to believe he’s really gone. One night, in her sleepy New Brunswick village, Aline sees a vision of a glowing apple tree. As the whispers of the forest propel her into a courageous quest, she encounters a force more powerful than even a child could imagine. Even though her mother can’t bring herself to believe in miracles, Aline steps into a world aglow with innocence and hope. But is Aline’s faith strong enough to reunite her with what they have lost? Directed by Langley’s Kate Muchmore, As Little Children premieres at SAMC Theatre – the Christian university’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture – from Jan. 27 to 31. “This script explores very real and relatable family dynamics,” Muchmore stated. “The characters need help to move forward, and God reaches out to communicate with them in surprising ways.

He opens their eyes to a fantastical and possibly more real world than this one. His choice to break into our world is why I love the story. There is humour, food for thought – everything you’d want from theatre.” Playwright Eden lives and works in New York City, and will be coming to Langley for the premiere. She will also host a special Q&A talkback session and reception with the audience after the Saturday matinee (starting at 2 p.m., Jan. 31). “I’m finding that the pain in our lives can also hold joy,” said Eden. “That’s one of the mysteries I explored as I wrote this play. Within each of us there is a quiet place, a place where we can meet with God and with ourselves, and there’s peace there – in the midst of any circumstance.” Sponsored by Great-West Life, As Little Children stars Maple Ridge resident Elizabeth Drummond, Abbotsford’s Cody Friesen and Sharra Ganzeveld, and Langleyite Shelby Wyminga. The show is assistant-directed by Charissa Hurt and stage-managed by Teagan Plett. For show tickets and more information, visit Twu.ca/theatre or call 604-513-2121, extension 3872.

Martial arts
Fernandes: ‘For me, when I fight, I believe it’s art’ ‹ from page B1
fighter who can finish fights not only by submission, but also by knockout.” Fernandes, who has three brothers and a sister, initially learned BJJ as a boy living in Manaus, the most populous city of the state of Amazonas. “I didn’t have a lot of money but I was not poor,” Fernandes stressed.“Brazil, like every country, has its struggles. I believe it’s the choice you make for your life. What I’ve seen, what I’ve experienced, has guided me up ’til now.” As a teen he was introduced by some friends to the martial art made famous by MMA legend and Brazilian native Royce Gracie. Since then, jiu-jitsu has been a focal point of Fernandes’s life. He calls it a “lifestyle” in Brazil, no different from the way hockey is viewed in his adopted home. “If you let jiu-jitsu help you, if you let jiu-jitsu guide and educate you, if you go to a good school with good coaching, you can go anywhere,” Fernandes said. Getting in the odd scrap in his native country prepared Fernandes for a life of BJJ and later, MMA. “I had to fight sometimes on the streets, especially in Brazil,” he said. This means run-ins with the occasional bully, a type of human Fernandes despises. “The one thing I say is,‘I hate bullies,’” he said.“That’s the one think I think about myself: if I don’t protect myself, people are always going to bully me – bully me and bully my friends. That does happen a lot in Brazil, too.” Currently, Fernandes is under contract with ONE FC, an MMA organization based out of Singapore. Sporting a 17-3 record, Fernandes is the ONE FC bantamweight champion, a title he’s held for the past five years. His most recent bout didn’t make it past the second round. On Dec. 5, in front of more than 20,000 spectators in Manila, Philippines, Fernandes defeated Korea’s Dae Hwan Kim via
submission. After absorbing what Fernandes pointed out to be illegal elbows to the back of his head, he climbed on Kim’s shoulders, wrapped his legs around the Korean’s torso like a spider attacking its prey, and applied a rear naked chokehold. With the hold cinched in, Kim, who had helplessly rolled from his stomach to his back, had a choice of quickly tapping three times on Fernandes’ right arm or seeing his world turn dark. He elected to remain conscious. Fernandes, who has captured BJJ world titles in the purple, brown and black belt divisions, said BJJ is all about self discipline: “It’s a lot of discipline, it’s a lot of education, it’s a lot of selfconfidence.” The kind of controlled aggression that makes Fernandes successful in BJJ helped him defeat Kim. “MMA is another world,” he added.“The last guy I fought, from Korea, he didn’t have self-discipline. He said bad things about me, he wanted to beat me up, he said a lot of bad s**t, but for me, I had the self-discipline, I controlled myself. You have to learn to control yourself.” While he makes a living competing in what some might perceive as a brutal sport, Fernandes said he isn’t a violent person. “I don’t believe in violence because I believe I have selfcontrol,” he said.“If you ask my wife, you ask my friends (I’m not violent), but in the cage it’s a different thing. For me, when I fight, I believe it’s art. Choking the guy, taking the back, that’s art.” It’s important to Fernandes that he demonstrates strong morals for his three children, so they can be good people, now and in the future, and just as important, go to school and get an education. “That’s my goal with my kids: to make themselves a good person, to be a good person for this planet,” Fernandes said.“Go to school, and after you finish school, do everything you think is good for you. I will guide you, and if you want (to) fight, you’re welcome but it’s no easy job. It’s a very
hard job. Make sure that you want to do it.” Jackson said Bibiano is someone he and many others look up to, “and should be the kind of person that young kids look up to, as well” – especially considering Bibiano’s background growing up as “basically a ‘street kid,’ and with his hard work and determination
to become a multipletime world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts, and by more importantly being an incredible human being,” Jackson added. Moving forward, fighters, regardless of skill and knowledge, have an expiry date, and to borrow a wellworn phrase, Father Time is
undefeated. Fernandes knows this full well, and when his fight career ends, has a goal of one day opening up his own gym, so that he can pass along to others what he’s learned over the past two decades. “For sure this year, I’d like to keep it going more,” he said, regarding fighting. “But
next year, maybe I’ll start my own school. That’s my big dream. Not only opening a school for me but to help the people, too.” “I’ve done a lot of things in my life,” he added. “My next step for me is to make sure the family’s OK, move forward, and if someone needs me to be there, I’ll be there.”

Brar’s birthday presence Student forgoes his big day to help people in Downtown Eastside
Grade 11 student Parwaz Brar, right, with vice-principal Favian Yee at North Delta Secondary school. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) One man hugged the students after receiving a food voucher, saying, “Thank you for this, you just made my day. You guys are so kind and so helpful.” Brar said his eye-opening moment came when he was introduced to the DTES while going for walks with his family. He felt compelled to do something about it. “You’ll always see homeless people (downtown), and then you can buy them a coffee or give them a couple of coins that you have as change but you’re not really doing much. From that I was just inspired to do something like this. I was telling my parents, ‘Can we get pizza boxes or something like that? I want to feed the homeless.’ They’ve been very supportive,” he said. So, too, have the other adults in Brar’s and his peers’ lives. Vice-principal Yee and four other NDSS staffers took time early Sunday to chaperone the kids as they walked around East Hastings, Pender, Jackson and Cordova Streets to show

The liquor market is overflowing with craft beer of late, but who’s complaining? Certainly not Central City Brewers & Distillers, which is hosting another Winter Cask Festival Saturday at Central City Brewpub (13450 102nd Ave).

t’s not what most high school students would request as a birthday present, but Grade 11 student Parwaz Brar’s wish came true as he handed out over $900 worth of food vouchers in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “It’s been a couple years now that I’ve really wanted to go downtown and feed the homeless on my birthday, and with Paws for Hope happening, we planned it out like this,” Brar said, who turned 17 last week. The North Delta Secondary school student, who heads the school’s philanthropic group Paws For Hope, asked family and friends to donate to his group’s efforts to feed the homeless in lieu of birthday gifts. “‘Friends,’ I told them, ‘Don’t buy me anything, please donate to this.’ I get money from my parents and I put the money towards this, so I didn’t get any birthday presents but I’m proud of what I did,” Brar told the Now, sitting in the office of his vice-principal Favian Yee, who also helped with the event. Brar, Yee and about 20 others, students and teachers included, spent more than an hour on Sunday morning handing out 300 vouchers to Save-On-Meats, a deli and diner located in the DTES. The meal vouchers were good for a sandwich and coconut water at the East Hastings eatery. What did Brar get out the deal? A new perspective. “Being able to go was a great experience,” he said. “You learn a lot of new things, see the different perspectives of everyone. Some reacted very gratefully and others are not too happy about what you’re doing, and some actually gave us a lot of advice.”

support. Yee, however, says the initiative was Brar’s own. “Paws For Hope is something that Parwaz came up with on his own, it’s something that he works at,” he said. “This was primarily organized on his part and by his friends, we were just on the sidelines for the support…. Like I said, we didn’t do much,” Yee said. But now that his 17th birthday has passed, Brar isn’t wiping his hands of his good deed. He already has the wheels in motion for his next philanthropic act – gathering a few living necessities for the less fortunate. “The next time, we’re thinking of doing living necessities such as sleeping bags, socks and clothing, or even female hygiene products,” the student said, noting he would also add items like toothbrushes and toothpaste. He hopes to be able to carry it out before the school year’s end. kalexandra@thenownewspaper.com

ENGAGE Food festival
‘Taste White Rock’ cooked up in rebranding effort Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
WHITE ROCK — There’s a pleasant new scent rising from the peninsula, and it’s not just that salty ocean air. Fifteen local restaurants are now cooking up new, three-course menus to satiate the palate of diners who take part in Taste White Rock, a 25-day food festival
in the city. “What we’re trying to do is really help drive additional visitations to the community through this, locally and regionally, by having this festival,” said Douglas Smith, executive director of White Rock Business Improvement Association. “We think that it’s going to provide a real spike in business activity for (the
restaurants) during a time when it’s traditionally pretty quiet.” The fixed menus – priced at either $25 or $35 for a three-course meal – aren’t the only aspect that’s new about the festival. Formerly known as Bite of the Rock, White Rock’s “dine-out” festival has been going on for the past nine years. Having had the same branding, logos and ethos
for nearly a decade, Smith said it was time for a switchup with the help of creative team, Invision. “One of the things (Invision) said was they wanted to hit the refresh button,” Smith told the Now. He agreed with the creative company that “Bite of the Rock” didn’t have a great ring to it. “I, myself, was not enamoured with it, because personally I don’t ‘bite’ my food, and I don’t bite rocks,” Smith admitted with a laugh. “It just wasn’t as classy as I wanted it to be. I want this to portray classiness and good food and good experience, and culinary adventure.” With $100,000 budgeted to advertise the re-branded festival, including logo redesign, Smith and the rest of the White Rock BIA hope to see a big response from resident and travelling foodies in the City by the Sea. “We think we’ve really got something here. We’re getting an amazing response through social media. We’ve got food bloggers from California following us and talking about this event,” Smith said. “It’s pretty cool the way
Preet Grewal and Andrew Prefontaine with food served at Charlie Don’t Surf during Taste White Rock, a food festival that started Tuesday (Jan. 20). (Photo: KEVIN HILL) it’s taken off.” The dine-out experience has been going for nine years strong, so naturally there are repeat participants, like Uli’s, Cielo’s and Charlie Don’t Surf. New to the festival are Wooden Spoon and Five, previously known as Five Doors Down under former ownership. Smith hopes that with the projected success of this year’s Taste White Rock, more restaurateurs will be keen to get involved in upcoming years. “We’ve got the best of our restaurants all involved and I hope that anyone who’s
not involved will be paying attention and realizing this is something they want to participate in going forward,” he said. In the meantime, Smith wants to see White Rock become a “world-class seaside destination,” but first, the city has to give prospective foodies a taste of what it has to offer. Taste White Rock started Tuesday, Jan. 20 and runs until Feb. 13. To see a list of participating restaurants and their fixed menus, visit Whiterockbia.com. kalexandra@ thenownewspaper.com
WAT E R M A I N F L U S H I N G As part of the City’s maintenance program, the flushing of the watermains in the areas located between 52nd Avenue & 88th Avenue & 176th Street to 196th Street will occur from Jan. 10, 2015 to June 1, 2015. Flushing of watermains is required to remove sediments and to maintain water quality. This may result in your water supply appearing cloudy due to the sediments. Since some staining of laundry may result and some industrial processes may be affected, we recommend the following. • Run your cold water tap until the water clears up • Check the water supply prior to doing laundry If in doubt, call the Water Department at 604-591-4152 from 8 am - 4 pm or 604-543-6700 after hours.

ROLLING ON
The Mainland Misfits have been around for four years, but these Surrey roller girls say a derby renaissance is just around the corner STORY BY KRISTI ALEXANDRA
I
t’s minus two. It’s 7:30 p.m. on a Monday in early December and bunch of athletic women, and a few men, are lacing up their roller skates, strapping on kneepads and sipping Tim Horton’s coffee on the cold, concrete floor of Cloverdale Rodeo Fairgrounds’ Alice McKay Room. This is the first of three practices in the week that members of the Mainland Misfits – the Fraser Valley’s roller derby league – will gather to skate, scrimmage and learn to take hits until 10 p.m. The big, open cement track is lined by 10 cement beams. In a sport that’s main mandate is to knock over or be knocked over, the terrain looks rather unforgiving. “The league has been in existence since 2010, with three teams going for the past three years,” explains Katie Becker, the Mainland Misfits’ former president and derby player. “The Murder is the one men’s team in all of B.C. Then there’s two female teams: the Anarchy Angels, and the house team is Doomsday Bunnies.” Becker is part of the Anarchy Angels, the league’s All-Star team that’s chosen to travel to tournaments and represent the Mainland Misfits. The young Surreyite, who grew up taking hits as a rugby player, started playing derby a few years back after moving to Salmon Arm. “There was no rugby there for women, but there was a roller derby league 30 minutes away, so I started like that,” she said. Since foraying into the world of competitive derby playing, she’s suffered a separated shoulder, a rolled ankle and, most recently, a concussion. To an outsider, injuries stemming from the sport seem to come part and parcel. But Becker says it’s not a completely typical experience, and not all players come for the rough stuff. “I don’t think anyone comes in here thinking they’re going to get injured, and I’d say a lot of the people don’t get injured. The majority don’t get injured, but its just a few things that happen accidentally. Those are so rare,” she said. “It’s one of the top 10 best forms of exercise, which is what I use it for right now. For some people, they’re using it as their form of exercise, or some people are using it for their incentive to exercise.”

With players in the league ranging in age from 18 to 50, some are fresh out of high school and others are dedicated mothers or fathers. Still, while the aim of derby may not be to intentionally rough one another up, it doesn’t stop the girls – and guys – from adopting tough alter-egos, with names like Flatten ‘em Blonde and Dainty Butt Deadly. Becker’s chosen derby name is Deck ‘er and like many of the players’ aliases, it’s a play on her last name. Where did all the wacky stuff that characterizes the identity of derby girls – the striped tights, the rainbow-coloured hair, the names, the simultaneous explosions of glitter and gore come from? Well, here’s a little history lesson. The game of roller derby began in the mid 1930s and was broadcast over the radio. After years of rising and falling in popularity, along with the phenomenon of rollerskating itself, derby once again took a fortuitous turn in the mid-’60s when it became televised as sports entertainment – much like modern wrestling by WWE. There were theatrics, there were rivalries, there were egos. Spectators could attend live roller derby matches – called bouts – or watch the athletic, scripted sport on television. Notable personalities included Gwen “Skinny Minnie” Miller and Liz “Baby” Hernandez, and, of course, Jerry Seltzer, commissioner of the National Roller Derby League, who could be likened to the WWE’s Vince McMahon. At its mid-century peak, the National Roller Derby League had 83 skaters between six different teams, according to Seltzer, who spoke at the 2007 RollerCon, an annual roller derby convention based in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Derbyroster.com, today there are 820 roller derby leagues across the U.S. today, while there are only 126 leagues in Canada. And all those theatrics? That might soon be a thing of the past. “Within the last 10 years, it’s re-taken off into more of a sport rather than a theatrical event,” Becker told the Now. “Depending on where you are in derby, even four years ago, it was a bit more show-y. You’d see a lot more girls in tights and fishnets and skirts and things like that, but now it’s turning into more of a sport, particularly for the higher-level teams where you’ll just see them in sportswear.” Some teams are even sponsored by sportswear companies, including Team Canada, which is sponsored by Pivotstar Apparel and Uniforms. “It’s biggest in the States, but leagues are just popping up everywhere now,” she said. So far, there are 21 leagues in British Columbia, with the Mainland Misfits and Terminal City Rollergirls being the primary Lower Mainland leagues. Even with 126 leagues across the country, Becker isn’t sure that derby is as prevalent as it could be. “I still think a lot of it is under the radar, and it’s not a hugely wide-known thing that is occurring,” she said. “Most people are
Carlene Fetterly and Lisa Turina try to block Chantelle Fuhr . (Photo: GORD GOBLE) like, ‘Is it similar to Whip It?’ We’re not on a bank track and we have way more players on a team because teams are made up of 14 to 20 players. You can roster 14 so it’s a bit different.” Whip It is the 2009 directorial debut of Drew Barrymore about roller derby girls, starring Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis as derby rivals. The flick portrays a derby league that uses a bank track – a track that rises at an angle to allow increased speed – rather than the flat tracks that are easier to skate and more common in most derby leagues. And, in most derby leagues, the best thing, Becker says, is that it attracts all kinds. In its young stage, all body types and fitness levels can join as long as you can achieve basic skills. “It draws everybody,” the former president said confidently. “We have strong skaters from hockey backgrounds, you can get figure skaters and then you can get people that are runners or have never ever played on a sports team at all, and everyone can play.” The aim of the game is to score more points than the opposite team in twominute “jams.” “You are wearing quad skates, on a flat track, it’s actually bigger than this one normally,” Becker explained, pointing to the cold concrete track of the Alice McKay room. “One person is wearing a star on their helmet, and they’re called the jammer and there are four blockers from each team and they make up the pack… they are basically trying to stop the opposite team’s jammer from getting through. When the jammer gets through the pack, their next trip around, they score points.”
The whole event is called a bout, like wrestling, and they’re broken into two 30minute halves. Like in hockey or other contact sports, no one is immune to penalties. In derby, penalties last for 30 seconds, and can be called for hockey-type fouls like throwing elbows, hitting with forearms, hits to the face and tripping. “There can be some pretty good hits out there sometimes,” Becker admitted. “You exhaust the other team if you’re hitting harder, but you might exhaust yourself as well. It might be more entertaining for the crowd if there are bigger hits but a lot more of it is getting positional and being in front of the person.”
For the Mainland Misfits, to keep the league in shape, there’s equal parts technique and effort. “Everyone does everything to make this work and we do it for fun and we put in all the work to make it happen,” Becker said of her league. “There’s really no big association that sets it up the way it is with soccer.” The six members on the board of directors ensure that venues are insured and have liquor lisences for derby events. In the league, there’s always room to move up and put in more time. “Everyone always has something to work for if they want to. If they just want to use it as exercise, that’s OK, too,” she said. Within the next year, the Mainland Misfits will be adding another team to its roster, with some players joining Team Canada. Also coming up this year is a derby tournament called Flattrack Fever in Calgary, as well as West Showdown in Oklahoma, which the travel teams will be attending. Coming up in 2016 will be the World Cup for men, which will be held in Calgary. “Really good derby is right around the corner in the next couple years,” Becker told the Now assuredly, just as she’s about to strap on her helmet and stick an opaque, bright red mouth-guard over her teeth. If the Mainland Misfits keep it up – putting in three hours a day, three times per week, sometimes in the freezing cold – it would be a hard point to argue.

Tit-for-tat over wages comes at strange time
I
t’s no surprise, yet still sad indeed, how the Fraser Institute and Canadian Union of Public Employees went mano-a-mano over working people’s wages and benefits this week at the same time Oxfam revealed that the top one per cent of the world’s richest people hold nearly half of all global wealth. The Fraser Institute, which claims to be nonpartisan but certainly occupies right-of-centre territory, put out a release Tuesday claiming government employees in B.C. are paid 6.7 per cent more than their colleagues in the private sector. It quotes Charles Lammam, associate director of tax and fiscal policy at the institute. “An important way for governments in B.C. to better control spending is by ensuring publicsector compensation broadly reflects private-sector compensation for similar positions. “As the B.C. government struggles with growing debt and in light of ongoing collective bargaining negotiations with public sector unions, now is an opportune time to examine the compensation of government employees, a key spending item,” Lammam suggests. Clearly, he’s not talking about raising private sector wages, but lowering union wages. Perhaps now is also an “opportune time to examine” Lammam’s own compensation... CUPE, on the other side, claims the Fraser Institute has got it wrong, “again.” The union popped out its own press release on Tuesday, quoting CUPE BC secretary-treasurer Paul Faoro. “They want all workers to earn less, work more, and retire in poverty,” he said of the Fraser Institute. “That’s not even good for the super-wealthy backers the Fraser Institute represents, but their ideology blinds them to reality.” Strange how, in the same week Oxfam reveals its depressing but not-so-shocking report over the distribution of wealth, that debate here is raging over – of all things – working people’s wages.

Why so judgmental about French? The Editor, Re: “French immersion pour la bourgeoise,” the Now, Jan 15. Here we go again. I have been defending French second language learning for over 20 years and will continue until people realize that French is an official language and is here to stay. It is difficult to understand why it brings out such resentment in people. French immersion is a choice that families make for many different reasons. Why do others have to be so judgmental when families make this choice? People need to realize that France and England were both founding nations of Canada and we are fortunate to have two official languages. I hope one day that we are able to teach First Nations languages in Surrey schools, too, and I
applaud school districts in B.C. that have already included those languages in their curriculum. When my children began French immersion in 1994, their classes in Surrey were diverse both culturally and economically and I believe this trend has continued. Many families in Surrey choose French immersion so their children can learn a third and fourth language. Many non-native English speakers value languages because they come from countries where learning more than one language is expected. Maybe Mr. MacNair can come to the annual District Concours d’art Oratoire, where he will see a very diverse group of students speaking in their third and fourth language, French. It is quite an amazing experience. Most people in B.C. realize that

bilingualism is important in the big picture. They also realize there is whole big world out there, where English and French are the dominant languages in many global companies, NGO’s and developed and underdeveloped countries. Graduating students have many opportunities these days and they realize that a diverse set of skills is needed to be successful. Right now, Surrey’s school district does need to find a way to ease the waiting lists for all choice programs. I urge parents and other interested citizens to participate in the online Placespeak forum and speak up about French language programs.

Don’t deny reality of ‘Only in Surrey’
Don’t vote ‘no’ just to punish TransLink
UncommonSense Adrian MacNair
T
aken out of context, anybody or anything can be made to seem ugly and dangerous. One of the main problems with newspapers, for instance, is that we trend toward reporting crime and death and destruction more often than we do the uplifting stories of people doing good things. But it wouldn’t be responsible to only report the good things. To quote the character Mark Corrigan from the British sitcom Peep Show, the news could be a dispassionate list of all the events that have occurred the world over during the day. “That would be good. Except of course, it would take forever!” Which is why we in the media need to strike a balance between reporting the best and the worst that happens in our society. The Facebook page “Only in Surrey” which has recently cropped up in the news explores only the worst side. And since a Facebook page run anonymously has no obligation to provide context, fairness, accuracy, impartiality or all the other things we went to journalism school for, you’re not likely to see the good things that happen here. That’s why the Facebook page should be taken for what it is – a candid look at Surrey’s ugliest and most unappetizing side, replete with drug addicts, prostitutes and the mentally ill. There’s certainly something unsavoury about poking fun at Surrey’s underclass and politicians and business leaders in this city have the right of it when they note these “vulnerable populations” need to be helped rather than laughed at. Surrey is sorely trying to shed off decades of jokes made at its expense so it’s unsurprising people here are a little sensitive about a webpage that seems to reinforce the stereotypes. And despite the recent rapid growth
It’s good to see that there are leaders in our community who believe in all the good things this city has to offer, but trying to gloss over the serious problems that exist does a disservice to the residents of Surrey, argues columnist Adrian MacNair. (File photo) and gentrification in the city’s poorest neighbourhoods, Surrey shares remarkably similar image problems with Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. But while it’s good to see Mayor Linda Hepner and Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman express concern about the state of poverty and homelessness and mental illness in the city, it would be nice to see both take a more active role in remedying those problems. I think most Surreyites will have to admit that Hepner seems to behold this city with a rather different colour of glasses than the rest of us. And despite being elected with a commanding mandate in November, the gaffe she made during the live debates on CBC still haunts her today. “There is nothing wrong with the city of Surrey,” she said, before adding in rather understated tones, “we have some issues that we need resolving, but it is not a lockdown.” The people depicted in the photographs on the “Only in Surrey” page would quite easily refute the “nothing wrong” part of the sentence. Since the November election, there has been a pervasive sense that Hepner and, by
extension, the rest of the Surrey First slate, is out of touch with the needs of Surrey’s considerable underclass. Some of us in the newsroom have given her the benefit of the doubt, given her short tenure so far in office. But don’t think that people haven’t noted the mayor’s deafening silence in December when several young people were murdered in the city. It’s good to see that there are people who believe in all the good things this city has to offer and are working toward a vision of the future that will improve the quality of life of everybody who live here. However, it does a disservice to the residents to gloss over the serious problems that exist. Worse still would be exhibiting self-righteous indignation about a webpage that highlights those problems. The fact the plight of those people is being largely ignored by City Hall is a much worse affront to their dignity than any number of photographs on Facebook could ever be. Adrian MacNair is a staff reporter with the Now. He can be reached at amacnair@ thenownewspaper.com.
The Editor, Re: “Not all can afford to vote ‘yes’ to tax,” the Now editorial, Jan. 20. “You can’t get there from here” will be a common cry from underserved commuters in Langley if the upcoming referendum fails. My family found that having two cars is a financial burden. I work in Cloverdale, so I decided that riding the bus would be an affordable alternative. The people I see on the bus need reliable transit to get to work. It would be difficult for most small businesses to rely on a workforce that could not afford to get to work. Underfunding public transit would be a devastating blow for the “little guy.” Elderly and disabled people have been devastated by a HandyDART funding freeze. Without adequate funding, HandyDART riders will be robbed of their quality of life. My 91- and 92-year-old mother and father who rely on HandyDART, would be devastated by a further erosion of HandyDART. If people vote “no,” they may be expressing their anger at TransLink mismanagement. Anger should be expressed at those truly responsible for debacles past and present. The provincial government dumped the responsibility of building megabridges on TransLink. The provincial government created a sham of governance by removing mayors and appointing corporate shills to the TransLink board. TransLink’s strings are controlled by a cruel puppet master. A vote in favour of transit funding is a vote to give dignity to working people, a growing aging population and disabled people. The real vote against ineptitude is a vote against the Liberal government in the next election. Mark Beeching, Langley

❚ A single yellow rose in friendship to the gentleman on a bike in full cycling regalia that I met while on 101st Avenue. Sorry I insulted you by saying, “You have a weird way of thinking” when you told me about a new drug that is said to cure Hepatitis C and its hefty cost. Thank you for helping put my mind at ease, as around my home I am regularly finding and disposing of used syringes, just as I was doing then. Rotten tomatoes to the health care system for not covering the cost of Sovaldi even though it is said to have an astonishingly high cure rate for Hepatitis C.
❚ A dozen roses go out to my wonderful urologist who was very helpful with my problem. Without you, I would have not gotten the actual help I needed. Thank you again!
❚ A carload of flattened rotten tomatoes to the young woman who nearly mowed my family down with her car while we crossed in a crosswalk outside Denny’s at Willowbrook Mall on Jan. 17. While holding my baby in my arms, and holding my other son’s hand, we screamed at you to stop. You just mouthed “sorry” and sped right on by. My son was beside himself and crying that we all almost died and he would have seen his mom and brother killed, or been killed himself. Pay attention to the road, or next time, you might actually kill someone. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to the rude driver in the dark SUV who blew through the red light at Fraser Highway and 164th Street on Jan. 17 while I stood waiting to cross with the ‘walk’ light. When I waved at him, he gave me the middle-finger salute. Thankfully, I always watch for traffic before proceeding to cross, or I would have been his victim. With drivers like him, it is no wonder there are so many pedestrians killed or injured on the streets of Surrey. Whatever was the reason for your hurry, may karma find you. ❚ Rotten tomatoes to candidates who ran in the civic election and failed to have their signs picked up within the time allowed. I hope Surrey will take action and start charging you for littering – after all, you have put your name on it. ❚ A big load of rotten tomatoes to the woman driving a white Honda who nearly hit me at the intersection of 152nd and 29A on Jan. 16. If I hadn’t known to look for moron drivers like you, I would have been hit by your car – and I am six months pregnant. Please pay better attention next time and try to remember that when that “white manwalking” symbol is beside the green light, it means the [pregnant] pedestrians who activated said light are trying to cross the street and have the right of way to do so – safely.

Surrey
Clayton Heights gets reprieve but parking problems linger Adrian MacNair
Now staff Twitter @adrianmacnair
SURREY — Residents in Clayton Heights are celebrating a small victory after being assured by the City of Surrey that parking will continue to be allowed for a portion of the construction project to widen 72nd Avenue. According to the website Parkingforclayton.com, “huge pressure” from residents and a petition signed by 530 people in the area forced a compromise until at least June. Parallel parking will now be permitted on both sides of 72nd Avenue while the city widens a portion of 194A Street to add permanent parking to the area. The city plans to explore additional spots on 196th Street. But while many residents are pleased with the news, one resident is complaining there was no consultation process with homeowners. “There’s no notice from the city, just a special interest group has gone in there and muscled their way to get what they wanted,” said Curtis Kreklau, who owns a home on 195th Street near 72A Avenue. Kreklau said he has to drive on 72nd to leave the neighbourhood for work and it’s already jammed with traffic. He contends that maintaining the status quo will only make things worse. With cars constantly backing in and out of parking spaces during rush hour, he said the streets there are already “chaotic.” According to Kreklau the parking problems in Clayton can be attributed to two problems: people using their garages for storage and then relying on the street for parking; and homeowners illegally renting out their basements and coach houses. As a result, “some of these houses probably have four to five cars per house and only three spots,” he said. By allowing parking on both sides of the street, Kreklau is also concerned about the danger of residents constantly jaywalking to the other side, adding it’s aesthetically ugly to have so many cars in the area. Coun. Bruce Hayne said the city is well aware of the problems of Clayton, but echoing comments made by fellow council member Tom Gill last month, he blamed a lack of transit service. Clayton was planned with nine-metrewide lots and high density in mind, anticipating a transit-oriented community. But with no reliable service, Hayne said virtually everybody who lives or commutes in Clayton needs wheels. However, Hayne said should the TransLink plebiscite pass in the spring, it would bring Light Rapid Transit to Surrey,

Parking continues to be a big issue in Clayton, despite a recent compromise by the city to allow temporary parallel parking on both sides of 72nd Avenue. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) with the second phase including a route along Fraser Highway with stops in Clayton. “We have to address each of these issues over the long term,” he said. “(But) in the short term we have to try and find extra parking spaces as we go.” As a result, there will be temporary parking solutions during the widening of 72nd Avenue, including additional postconstruction spots. During the road-widening work Hayne said residents will be allowed to park in the construction zone during evenings and weekends after crews remove heavy machinery. The city will start on the south side of 72nd and then switch to the north, to minimize the impact to residents. There will be a one-month period in June while working on the median when there will be no parking on 72nd at all, but Hayne said by that point there should be additional parking created on other streets. Clayton residents were surprised to learn in late 2014 that the city planned to widen 72nd with little advance notice.
“We didn’t anticipate having to do the widening quite yet but that is triggered by traffic volume,” conceded Hayne. Surrey’s Traffic Management Plan calls for four lanes once the volume of cars on a roadway approach 20,000 trips per day. According to Hayne, 72nd is currently seeing about 12,000 per day. “It looks like over the past three years it’s increasing about 1,000 cars (per day) a year in that area so we would anticipate not absolutely needing four lanes of width to handle the car volume for the next few years,” said Hayne. In responding to comments about illegal suites in the area, Hayne acknowledged the problem and said council has made secondary suites in coach houses illegal but wouldn’t promise bylaw enforcement would crack down. He said the area provides affordable housing to many Surrey residents, including single mothers and other at-risk segments of the population, and did not want to trigger a series of evictions. amacnair@thenownewspaper.com
SURREY — When Panagiota Zerbinos, 43, was found lying dead in her daughter Gloria’s basement suite in Fleetwood, a knife was still stuck in her chest. Gloria Crystle Zerbinos – age 29 at the time of her mother’s death, on Nov. 8, 2012 – is being tried for second-degree murder in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. The trial began Monday and is set for two weeks, with Justice Frits Verhoeven presiding. Crown prosecutor Craig Yamashiro told the judge he can expect to hear testimony from crime scene investigators, paramedics, firefighters and other first responders, as well as neighbours. The court heard Panagiota Zerbinos died of multiple stab wounds. The Crown has not yet revealed a motive. Yamashiro said the court can expect to hear from a witness who saw the accused trying to take her mom’s car from the driveway of the house, in the 8800-block of 148A Street, but that she abandoned the idea because she couldn’t drive standard. “Shhh,” she allegedly told the witness, which he took to be a joke. The court heard that this witness is also expected to say he saw the accused going through her mother’s purse. Cpl. Jeffrey James Jackson, an RCMP forensic crime scene investigator, was the Crown’s first witness Monday. He said the door into Zerbino’s basement suite was slightly ajar, with blood on the handle. Accompanied by other police officers, he said, he entered the “very small” one bedroom apartment to find Panagiota’s body lying on the wooden floor, under a grey blanket with black and white stripes. Jackson said he removed the blanket to take photos – he would take 107 altogether, at the scene – and saw the knife still in Panagiota’s chest. He said he put a blanket around the knife to make sure it wasn’t disturbed before the autopsy could be done. Crown prosecutor Jas Gahunia asked Jackson if the police found any sign of forced entry into the suite. “Not that we could tell,” he replied. Gloria Zerbinos remains in custody and is being represented by defence lawyer John Gustafson.

Abduction thwarted after girl, 9, stands ground against suspect WHITE ROCK — White Rock RCMP are investigating the attempted abduction of a nine-year-old girl at the White Rock Elementary school playground last Friday. Const. Shailenshni Molison said police hadn’t heard of the alleged incident until Tuesday. She said the girl had been in the playground, at 1273 Fir St., at about 3:30
p.m. on Jan. 16 when a bald man with tattooed arms tried to lure her to his vehicle. Molison said the girl wasn’t injured and the man ran away after she told him “No!” He is believed to be about 25 years old and was wearing a dark-coloured T-shirt with red writing and beige shorts. Police do not have a description of the vehicle.
“We ask anyone who may have information as to the identity of the suspect or may have witnessed this incident to call police,” Molison said. Police ask that those with information contact the White Rock RCMP general investigation section at 778-593-3600. Meanwhile, White Rock RCMP have

“Our goal is to ensure those living along the pipeline benefit from the employment generated.” - Greg Toth, Senior Project Director, Trans Mountain Expansion Project
Trans Mountain’s vision is to see the opportunities created by the project lead to long-term economic advantages for communities along the right-of-way. The construction and first 20 years of operation of the proposed expansion are expected to create a total of 108,000 person years of employment. We want to deliver lasting local benefits.
• We have a commitment to maximizing employment opportunities for both Aboriginal and local people. • The $5.4 billion Expansion Project is all private sector capital, $3.2 billion of which will be spent in BC. No taxpayer dollars are at risk. • At the peak of construction, 4,500 people will be working on the pipeline. • The expansion will create approximately 3,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs per year for at least 20 years of operation, the majority of which will be in BC. • $4.3 billion in tax revenues will be generated from construction and 20 years of operation. • BC communities will accrue aggregate property tax increases of approximately $23.2 million per year, rising from $23 million to $46.2 million. • During construction, workers will spend $382 million on accommodation, meals and personal items in BC communities. • Every time a tanker docks at Westridge Marine Terminal, it brings $310,000 worth of value to the Metro Vancouver economy. • The project will unlock access to world markets for our oil, resulting in substantial tax revenues for all Canadians.

I enjoy running in the woods as my way to fight aging. Plus it’s a great psychological benefit. However running can be hard on your body. For me it is my ankles that get affected. Unfortunately tissue like tendons and ligaments have few blood vessels and they take a very long time to heal. Of course one still keeps walking which keeps breaking down the healing. Laser Therapy has been my quick and effective treatment. This is the second injury I’ve had treated with Laser Therapy and in both cases the pain was gone after the 8th treatment. The way this therapy stimulates healing is amazing. I’m sold on it. CELEBRATING 17 YEARS IN SURREY

maturity, they would have yielded more than 71 pounds of pot worth up to $156,860. Four days after the police raid, Pham abruptly sold the house for $450,000, roughly $161,000 below the assessed value. The Director of Civil Forfeiture commenced proceedings against Pham and the new owner in April of 2012 but abandoned the pursuit a year and a half later because the director was unable to find Pham to serve him with a notice of civil forfeiture.
If the offences had been committed after Nov. 6, 2012, Pham would have been subject to two years minimum in jail on the growing offence and would have faced a mandatory three-year minimum jail sentence for fire hazard implications related to the hydro bypass and electricity theft. Police raided Pham’s house, on 60th Avenue, on March 29, 2012, seizing 1,206 plants and 12 pounds of dried pot. The court heard the latter was worth up to $26,400 and had the plants been raised to

Big new Surrey bar taps into live music Tom Zillich
Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
GUILDFORD — As a kid growing up in the world of entertainment, Wayne Ferguson was in sweating distance of some of the biggest names in show biz. “My dad and grandfather both ran hotels, and I grew up in that business,” Ferguson said with a reflective smile. “They’d take me to places in Vancouver, like Isy’s (supper club), and I’d get to sit in the front row to see performers like Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, James Brown – all the big names that came through town. I just remember all the sweat raining down on me by those guys, so I was that close,” he added with a laugh. “That’s why I love live music – I really do.” Today, Ferguson is the owner/operator of The Taphouse, Surrey’s newest and largest live-music and sports bar. The Guildford Wayne Ferguson gathering spot is licensed to serve more than 500 people, both inside and on the patio, and is purpose-built to showcase bands on an oval stage that faces the venue’s large glass entry doors, off 102A Avenue. “This was made for entertainment, with the tiered seating focused on the stage and the dance floor,” Ferguson said of the two-level Taphouse, which opened in October. “That’s a rare thing in this region, especially something this large.” The previous bar at that location, The Mirage, was also operated by Ferguson, along with his sons. In June, the dance club closed after an 18-year run, and crews immediately went to work renovating the 10,000-square-foot space to create The Taphouse; the new bar opened exactly four months after the Mirage was but a memory. Many nightclubs don’t remain open for nearly two decades straight, Ferguson noted, but the Mirage as a dance club had run its course. “We kind of got left behind with (nightclubs) in Vancouver and Whistler being allowed to open until four in the morning a few years back,” he explained. “Here in the suburbs, we were locked into that 2 a.m. closure. There was no appetite to change that, and the nightclub traditionally was always the last gathering spot for people after (pubs) had closed.… I can tell you, when downtown got 4 a.m. (closure time), we lost a million dollars in gross revenue that year – just like that. A lot of people just went downtown for last call.”
Patrons at The Taphouse, a 510-seat bar that opened at the former Mirage nightclub site in Guildford last October, dance to the sounds of Jane’s Blonde, a cover band that includes Now staffers Beau Simpson and Tom Zillich. Jane’s Blonde will perform Jan. 30 and 31 at Kennedy’s Sport Pub in North Delta and also at a Valentine’s Day Dance at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock. (Photo: GORD GOBLE) The Mirage wasn’t all about DJs spinning dance music – Lady Gaga performed there in 2008, in support of her debut release, The Fame – but bands generally weren’t welcomed. “With the Mirage, I really had to choke it down and go with canned music, the DJs, but once I realized that’s where the market was going at the time, you just had to go with that,” Ferguson recalled. The Taphouse is a “different animal,” he said, with big screens showing sports, fancy chandeliers, an outdoor patio with
two fire pits, bathroom attendants, a semiprivate party room and, generally, a much more upscale vibe. “It was a couple million dollars to do it all,” revealed Ferguson, in business at The Taphouse with landlords of the building. Live cover bands perform on Friday and Saturday nights – the likes of Quickness, YVR, Groove n’ Tonic, HB Wild, Playlist, Electric Ballroom, The Tainted Lovers and Jane’s Blonde, a six-piece group that features Now editor Beau Simpson and the writer of this story.
With 2 a.m. closures still on the clock, the Taphouse is equal parts restaurant, sports bar and live-music party place. “This isn’t an attempt to bring back the Mirage, the Taphouse is about a different demographic – that 25-to-55 age range, not the college crowd,” Ferguson noted. “You know, now it’s probably a place for a lot of the people who came here (to the Mirage) 10 years ago, but now they’re here for dinner, to watch a game on the big screen, to hear a live band, dance and have fun.” tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

F
ind your voice. This is an oft-bandaged phrase amongst performing artists, as well as writers and musicians. Of course it doesn’t necessarily mean shout out loud and be heard – although keep that option open. Tell a story, capture a moment, , right a wrong and express your opinion through your chosen art form. Celebrate that we live in a part of the world that allows and sometimes even encourages diverse “voices.” Vocal expression is popular. And hey, we don’t have to love every style of music, or agree with the message. Of course, there is a message in everything – that’s why it is art. Anyway, if you aren’t ready to sing, you can be part of the audience. St. Mark’s Anglican Church in South Surrey has launched a concert series to raise funds for the ministries. Next up is one of Canada’s favorite vocal talents, Steve Maddock, in a concert of “hot jazz for a cool season.” The concert is at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 8 at St. Mark’s, 12953 20th Ave. (Ocean Park). Tickets are only $15, plus service charges, at Brownpapertickets.com/ event/1147796, or you can phone the church office at 604-535-8841. Maddock is a versatile vocalist who has performed with a 65-piece symphony orchestra, a 10-piece show band on a cruise ship and a jazz trio in a local club, among other places, for about two decades. His first love, though, is jazz, and since high school he has immersed himself in the jazz language. He is also an accomplished musical-theatre performer, and I am sure you must have seen him perform at one time or another. This personal concert should be on your list. Maddock has definitely found his voice, and knows how to use it. Norman Foote also has a voice and message. His adaptation of nursery rhymes sung by rock stars is made for family fun. His jokes are perfect for all ages. His crazy collection of props comes to life before your eyes, and his

Holly Zonneveld plays Laura in the murder-mystery I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, staged at Surrey Little Theatre starting Thursday, Jan. 29. backup singers are kids from Surrey. His one-hour concert at Surrey Arts Centre is at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31. Tickets for the show are $12, including all fees, at 604-501-5566 and Tickets. surrey.ca. Community theatre is alive and well. Hundreds of people volunteer hundreds of hours to put together a play suitable for presentation to the public. Working together as a team (or sometimes not, for sure), community theatre clubs are not just about the actors who want to strut their stuff on stage. What you, the audience, sees on stage is just a small part of all the interaction that happens behind the scenes. It is a learning experience and just another way we can learn about each other. Plus, we get some good entertainment! Surrey Little Theatre is presenting a thriller for its winter show. Peter Colley’s I’ll Be Back Before Midnight, directed by Rita Price, runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 21 – Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. This is one of my favorite plays, and I first saw it at SLT many years ago. This time around, the cast includes Harry Pering, Shannon Peddar, Joe Tenta and Holly Zonveveld. The storyline has all the twists you could want from a thriller: Jan has recently had a nervous breakdown, and her husband Greg has rented an old farmhouse where she can recover. When George,
the eccentric farmer they rented the house from, tells stories about a terrible murder that once took place in the house and the ghost that reputedly stalks the night, Jan’s imagination gets fired up. Things get even worse when Laura, Greg’s sister, arrives. Soon Jan finds herself tormented by strange sounds in the night and visions of the vengeful ghost driving her to the brink of another breakdown. This show comes with a warning: it may not suitable for young children. Tickets can be reserved by phone (604-576-8451), or go online at Surreylittletheatre.com. The theatre is located on 184th, just north of Fraser Highway. Parking is challenging, as the city has been working to improve 184th Avenue. But you are up for the challenge. Park yourself in the audience and discover Surrey Little Theatre. Across the river in New Westminster, Vagabond Players starts the new year with one of Agatha Christie’s most intriguing murder-mysteries. Go Back for Murder is based on the novel Murder in Retrospect, and the play weaves a fascinating tale of a murder that happened many years ago. You may have seen a version of this story on television. Directed by Jacqollyne Keath, Go Back for Murder stars Corrine Out as Carla and Brian Hoskins as Justin Fogg, the lawyer who comes to her aid. Miles Lavkulich takes the role of Amyas Crale, the brilliant artist whose roving eye and selfish manipulation of those around him leads to tragedy, and Alanna Nicole plays Elsa, the glamorous model who causes the rift between Amyas and his wife. Faith Hurd and Mary Stockwell take the roles of the young and older Angela Warren, while Angela’s governess is played by Alison Main-Tourneur. The able cast also includes Richard Wiens, John Holland, Chilko Tivy and Richard Paré. This Christie classic runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 21 at Bernie LeggeTheatre, in Queen’s Park. For tickets ($15, or $13 for seniors and youth), call 604-521-0412 or email reservations@ vagabondplayers.ca. melminty@telus.net

Surrey Board of Education invites public input to its 2015/2016 operating budget The Surrey Board of Education invites your submissions regarding program and service priorities as the board considers its 2015/2016 operating budget. Each year, the board works to sustain priority programs and services to support students across the district. As was true in past budget planning cycles, district needs outpace the funds the board will receive from provincial government grants. This means there are difficult choices to be made in order to achieve the balanced budget required by law and ensure student needs are met in the best way. In coming weeks, the board will meet with employee groups and community stakeholders, including the District Parent Advisory Committee, to share details of the budget challenge and to obtain input. Other community members are welcome to submit ideas, questions and suggestions regarding board priorities, and potential budget reduction ideas by writing to: Mr. Wayne Noye, Secretary-Treasurer School District No.36 (Surrey) 14033 92nd Avenue, Surrey, BC V3V 0B7 or Email: budget@surreyschools.ca Fax: (604) 595-6307 Written submissions should be received no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, February 27, 2015. For additional information and background, various district and financial reports are available at www.surreyschools.ca.

‘Be a knight, do it right’ message for kids in show
SURREY — Koba Entertainment will bring its newest theatrical production, Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt, to the Surrey’s Bell Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Feb. 14. Based on the popular CG-animated series from HIT Entertainment and Nelvana, Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt takes audiences “on an interactive and eye-opening adventure for the whole family complete with an enchanting world of medieval castles, plucky trolls and flying dragons.” Tickets for the 1 p.m. show in Surrey on Valentine’s Day are available online at Ticketmaster.ca and by phone, 1-855-9855000. Prices start at $30. Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt unfolds during the Glendragon Scavenger Hunt, where the young knight is determined to discover the most knightly way to tackle his chivalrous quest. Joined by his closest friends Sparkie and Squirt (a pair of quirky dragons), his valiant friend Trollee and his wizard-in-training sister Evie, the stakes are high as the cheerful yet bountiful Mike the Knight leads audiences on his bravest mission yet. “I am excited to forage with Mike the Knight on this medieval scavenger hunt,” says award-winning choreographer and director, Patti Caplette, a former Surrey resident. “And while chivalry and wizardry reign in Mike’s world of castles and kings, I want to convey that kids are kids, and Mike and his friends may have to be reminded to ‘Be a knight and do it right!’” The live show is based on the animated series, broadcast in more than 120 territories. In each episode of the animated series, preschoolers follow Mike the Knight on a mission to protect his kingdom and become a fully-fledged knight. Mike discovers the power of responsibility and
TV character Mike the Knight stars in a touring stage show that comes to Bell Performing Arts Centre Saturday, Feb. 14. doing tasks and activities the right way. Along the way, he reminds viewers of his motto: “Be a knight, do it right!” The live show encourages independence, self-confidence and problem solving while inspiring kids to engage imaginations with dress-up and pretend play. Koba Entertainment’s Mike the Knight in the Great Scavenger Hunt is among the producer’s long list of original stage shows, including Toopy and Binoo: Fun and Games, Dora the Explorer: Search for the City Of Lost Toys and Max and Ruby in the Nutcracker Suite.

Hockey instruction
‘Shot doc’ sticks to coaching kids, pros Puck-shooters from Novice to NHL seek help from Ron Johnson at his ‘hole in the wall’ clinic in North Delta Tom Zillich
Now staff Twitter @tomzillich
DELTA — “Where does your stick end up – it’s not where it should be, right?” Ron Johnson offers advice to a pair of South Surrey preteens inside the “shooting room” he runs at Planet Ice, the four-sheet arena located near Alex Fraser Bridge. Pucks clutter the floor as a radar gun tracks the speed of vulcanized rubber the young players are slapping at a goalie painted on a tarp at one end of the facility, decorated with trophies, championship team photos, jerseys and other knickknacks the coach has collected during his five decades in hockey. In recent years, Johnson estimates 600 athletes have passed through the doors of his Elite Hockey Shooters clinic – eightyear-old hockey newbies all the way up to high-profile NHLers, including Ryan Kesler and Joe Pavelski. “Most of my time is spent here, but I also travel,” said Johnson, known as a “shot doc” who has long studied the science behind the mechanics of shooting a hockey puck. In 2013, Kesler flew Johnson to his Detroit-area home for training sessions. “I guess word-of-mouth is expanding, and that’s how it works with those kind of guys,” said Johnson, 56, a former North Deltan who now lives in Langley. “Sometimes, the NHL guys will shoot a video of themselves at practice and send it to me. I tell them to wait on the bench, I’ll analyze (the video) and I’ll send them my thoughts while they’re waiting there. They’ll try it out (the advice) and text

their thoughts back to me. That’s just using technology.” Such specialized coaching just wasn’t available to Johnson as a young player growing up in Fort Nelson, where he first learned to really shoot the puck. At age 15, he began a long coaching career that has included a number of stints behind the bench of trophy-winning teams, both at the minor and junior levels. “When I first moved to Vancouver (in the late 1970s), I was out playing hockey and a guy saw me shoot,” Johnson recalled. “He said to me, ‘Oh geez, could you help me with my team?’ So my first coaching gig here was with a senior girls team out of North Delta. I got to meet people in the community and I just kept coaching – unfortunately, they couldn’t get rid of me for years.” In 2011, Johnson was inducted into the Delta Sports Hall of Fame as a coach whose resumé includes guiding a North Delta Bantam team to a prestigious Western Canadian title in 1999. Today, Johnson coaches the Port Moody Panthers of the Pacific Junior Hockey League in time away from his EHS clinic. “The pros, they like it because it’s just a little hole in the wall and nobody knows it’s there, really,” said Johnson. “They just come in the front door and people don’t recognize them. But Kesler, it was pretty funny because he came in here in the summer and kids grabbed him for autographs.” With Kesler’s backing, Johnson has opened a similar clinic in Anaheim, with another planned for Reston, Virginia. “I don’t sugar-coat things, I tell them what’s wrong,” Johnson said of his teachings, shown on YouTube as part of a series on the xHockeyProducts channel. “It’s all a lot of fun,” he added. “Anytime you can help a guy score a goal, it’s just a real treat. Seeing it happen on TV and watching the pros use some of the things we’ve worked on, it’s pretty satisfying.”

KPU teams with Giants in academic pilot program Kyle Benning

SURREY — In December, 10 members of the Vancouver Giants roster decided to start their post-secondary careers after taking an introductory course with Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The pilot program has given the players a chance to take Education 1100, a course that introduces the Giants players to university studies and research. But it isn’t just the students who are making this program special. “What’s special about it is that it’s time-tabled to accommodate their travel schedule,” said Dr. Salvador Ferreras, responsible for the academic direction and stewardship of KPU’s programs. “It’s one of the many ways we can continue to be accessible to as diverse of a range of students as we can.” The program sends a Kwantlen instructor to a place near the Giants practice facility in Ladner for the twice-a-week course, and students work in groups and have discussions. “This exciting program gives these talented student-athletes the ability to pursue their athletic ambitions while not having to sacrifice a post-secondary education to do so,” stated Dr. Alan Davis, KPU president and vice-chancellor, in a release. “KPU is committed to supporting students as they pursue quality education
both inside and outside the classroom. This new educational platform is the first of its kind at KPU, and will support our studentathletes as they seek success as (Surrey) Eagles and as Giants.” Ferreras said the students appear as keen to succeed in the classroom as on the ice. “(The instructor) sort of attributed it to the fact as athletes, and as elite athletes that they are, they are people who already have a level of discipline and control over their schedules. “They understand organization and they understand order and structure,” he added. “They’ve pretty much brought that into the classroom. He was saying nobody has missed an assignment.” Steps were taken to find time for the players to do the course and hockey, said Steve Fera, the Giants educational advisor.“It’s a time-management thing and so far, it’s been working out pretty well.” Some of the players from the Lower Mainland are considering taking courses on campus the next time they get a chance, Fera said. “When we get a chance to get away from the hockey and get into a boardroom and work on school stuff, it’s a break for them and they don’t mind doing that on the road,” he said. This program was funded by LMS Reinforcing Steel Group, a Surrey-based company that put up $10,000 to cover the costs of each student’s tuition and fees.

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.
A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not
Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues. consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed. Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test
and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

SUV Versatility with the Look of a Coupe
BY DAVID CHAO
BMW continues to introduce a new vehicle for every possible market segment, no matter how small the niche may be. Despite having numerous SUVs in its fleet already, BMW has decided it will attempt to take even a bigger slice of the “growing pie” by introducing the coupe-style X4.
The X4 speaks to the customers who like the look of the X6 but want something a little smaller and more affordable. Also, these customers feel the X3 is a tad too traditional and mainstream. The new X4 fulfills both of those requirements. The X4 is an all-new vehicle for 2015. For those not familiar, BMW’s with an odd number in its name, 3, 5 and 7 Series are the more practical models. The even numbered vehicles, 2, 4 and 6 Series are the more sporty models.
Design
The new X4 is derived from the X3 but it sacrifices some practicality in the interest of style. BMW calls the X4 a “sports activity coupe” and it attempts to bridge a coupe and compact SUV. The most obvious difference between the X4 and the X3 is its sloping roofline, accented by sharp creases. This gives the X4 its own distinctive character. Also, while the X4 uses the X3’s architecture, it is longer and lower – this follows the recipe that BMW is using with the new 4 Series, which is carved out of the 3 Series. The styling of the X4 is the most controversial aspect of this new vehicle. Those not on board should know it follows a very successful formula BMW has used with the larger X6, and no one can deny the fact that the X4 stands out in the crowd. The cabin of the X4 is remarkably similar to the X3, which means it has a stylish, somewhat conservative design - it would have been nice if this new car received an all-new interior.
Performance
Much less controversial are the X4’s line-up of engines, because the X4 shares its engine lineup with others in the BMW range, including the 3 Series sedan, 4 Series and X3. Base model X4’s, the xDrive28i, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder. It produces 240 hp and 258 ft-lbs of torque. This engine is superb, with plenty of pulling power and surprising amount of get-up-and-go. Stepping up to the xDrive35i increases both horsepower and torque to an even 300 each. This comes from a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six that is second to none in the industry. Smooth and gutsy, the 3.0-litre is one of the best engines in the world in terms of overall feel and balance of power vs. economy. BMW’s xDrive AWD system comes standard, obviously, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission. There are no other drivetrain or transmission options available at this time. BMW has made its name by building driver’s cars. Its SUVs, while sportier than many of its rivals, are understandably never as spirited as their cars. But the 2015 X4, still using X3 underpinnings, drives much more like a BMW car. It has the best electric power steering unit BMW has made yet. The lower ride height and retuned suspension give the X4 a different personality than the X3, though not as much as you think. It is a joy to drive on a twisty road and has four selectable driving modes – Sport+, Sport, Comfort and Eco Pro – allowing you to customize your driving experience. To make the X4 as fuel efficient as possible, it comes with BMW EFFICIENTDYNAMICS, which includes auto start/stop, low rolling-resistance tires, brake-energy regeneration and a coasting function. This works in conjunction with the Eco Pro driving mode which changes the X4’s throttle response and gear shifts to further economy.
Environment
While the cabin of the X4 mostly resembles the X3, BMW has given it a few unique features to make it feel exclusive. The front passengers sit 20mm lower and the rear bench has a more pronounced two-seat appearance to accentuate the look of the exterior.

SPECIAL FEATURE PUBLICATION
The X4 can seat five passengers, however only four will be truly comfortable. The rear centre seat is really just a perch. The two outer seats don’t have a lot of head-room because of the sloping roof, but anyone under six-feet should be fine. The most concerning aspect for rear passengers would be the floor height. Knee-room is quite good, but because the seats were lowered to provide adequate head-room, passengers may feel like their knees are a bit high. As can be expected, the X4 has less cargo space than an X3. However, the rear seats are split 40/20/40 to make the space as versatile as possible. Accessing that space has been made easier thanks to the Smart Opener system which opens the tailgate by waving your foot under the rear bumper. The X4 comes with a good amount of standard technology features, including BMW’s iDrive with a 6.5-inch control display. This system can be upgraded to access the internet and have one of the best navigation systems on the market with Advanced Real Time Traffic Information. It is also available with many comforting safety options. These include Active Blind Spot Detection and a Lane Departure and Collision Warning system that gives a gentle vibration of the steering wheel to get your attention.
Features
The 2015 X4 has a starting price of $46,300. Standard equipment includes heated front seats, electric seats with driver memory, leather multi-function steering wheel, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, dynamic cruise control, run flat tires, and a sunroof. Additional features include heated rear seats, surround view, rearview camera, parking sensors, adaptive headlights, head-up display, dynamic damper control, and an M Sport Package. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the xDrive28i are 11.8 city, 8.4 highway and 10.3 combined. The xDrive35i returns 12.5 city, 8.7 highway for 10.8 combined.

ConceptKicker tech startup making international waves Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @Questionchris
SURREY — When he first set out to take part in a weekend event to create a startup company in 54 hours, Surrey’s Denny Hollick never thought he and his team would actually end up taking first place. But after accomplishing that and more, they’re now coming off of spending a week exhibiting at the world’s largest technology trade show. Suddenly, the possibilities have gotten that much bigger. Their idea? A crowdsourced 3D printing service that allows artists and studios to offer tangible models of their designs to consumers. The name is ConceptKicker and

Surrey’s Denny Hollick, left, and the ConceptKicker team meet U.S. Chief Technology Officer Maggie Smith, second from right, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. it came as a result of a Google-sponsored event last fall called Startup Weekend Vancouver. That event propelled them to an international startup challenge that they also won, leading to their debut at the world’s biggest tech stage, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. “Startup weekend was kind of a fun thing that we all got together for as complete strangers and we didn’t really have that much in terms of expectations coming out of it,” recalled Hollick. “So to end up at CES just because of what we did at Startup Weekend, that’s definitely not something you’d expect.” During the week-long event, Hollick said the ConceptKicker team
made numerous industry connections and learned a lot from mingling with others in the tech sector. “We had some pretty big interest, a lot of people thought it was unique, others were interested in how they could use it in their own ways because it’s such a niche idea and a lot of people are trying to figure out how to incorporate it into their own brands,” he said. “We had a VP of some large corporation come by, he was with the company that does Oreos and Animal Crackers and he was trying to figure out how he could incorporate what we’re doing with stuff like brand promotion or whatnot. Maybe a character for Animal Crackers or something.”
Hollick, son of Now publisher Gary Hollick, said the team also got to meet the U.S. Chief Technology Officer Maggie Smith. “It was pretty amazing… she’s a former VP of Google and she wanted to sit down with us and a few other people and chat about our idea.” As for the next step, the company did a soft launch in December and is hoping to ramp things up and hammer out any kinks they might have in the process. “So the next big thing for us is going to be focusing on the business, getting some sales and successful campaigns out the door to be ready to grow the business and ready for investment,” he said. “We’re looking at doing that with some well-known artists and we’ve got some good interest with gaming studios.” But that doesn’t mean the ride stops there. Hollick noted the ConceptKicker team also has other networking and conference trips planned for Italy, New York and San Francisco, all of which were prizes from winning the Global Startup Battle in December. cpoon@thenownewspaper.com
