Mark Hamill (left) and other actors run through a scene prior to filming of an episode of the TV series The Flash at Surrey City Hall on Friday (Jan. 23). (Photo: GORD GOBLE) we were here,” Jackson explained during an interview Friday afternoon. The Flash stars Grant Gustin as the superhero crimefighter, based on the speedy DC Comics character. Last year in Surrey, parts of the series were filmed at Guildford Town Centre, Tynehead Park and at the SFU Surrey/ Central City Shopping Centre complex. “Just by fluke, the series is set in a town called Central City, so that was a nice fit working there,” Jackson said of the latter location. Surrey is a great place for film locations because it has a lot of different looks, he noted. “It has modern buildings like this, with

3 things to do this week
Tom Zillich
SURREY — A star of the Star Wars movies attended a mayoral candidate’s re-election gala at city hall last Friday evening (Jan. 23). Well, sort of. That was Mark “Luke Skywalker” Hamill playing the bad guy on the set of The Flash, a first-season hit TV series for the CW network. The scene was a political event held in honour of Central City mayor Anthony Bellows, and The Trickster, played by guest actor Hamill, was there to poison the partygoers. The big atrium of Surrey’s fancy new city hall was a perfect fit for the shoot, said Greg Jackson, location manager for The Flash. “We wanted something that looked like a city hall and it turned out to be a real city hall,” Jackson told the Now during an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the set. “This production seeks out locations that are of a large scale, really big scope, so we’re always looking for large interior spaces. We narrowed it down to here, Surrey city hall, and obviously has a great look – a brand new building, it’s enormous, it looks beautiful and, by luck, it is what it is for the script.” During a “blocking” run-through of a scene at 5:30 p.m., Hamill wore a leather bomber jacket, scarf and toque before he and the other actors left the building for makeup and costume change. Filming began later that evening and continued until around 6 a.m. Saturday. “After that, a separate wrap crew comes in and takes out the remaining equipment and tidies up, so by two or three o’clock (Saturday) afternoon, you’ll never know

the city hall and the amazing library here, and then five minutes down the road you have country roads and farms, it has beaches, lakes, forests, and heavy industry, too. The fact that Surrey is so close to Vancouver, you’re still within the union zone, and that helps with additional outof-town costs.” It was a record year in 2014 for filming in Surrey, according to Brandi Carr, who manages the City of Surrey’s film department. “We had over 160 film days in the city last year, which equates to an economic benefit of roughly $1.6 million – that’s not see › page 7
How well do you know the city and community you live in? That question will be explored by artists Taryn Hubbard and Anne Murray this Saturday (Jan. 31) at the Surrey Art Gallery. From 3 to 4:30 p.m., the two will join Surrey Art Gallery curator Jordan Strom for an informal conversation following the tour. Admission to this event is free.

You’ll be amazed at what some of Surrey’s most vibrant youth are up to at Surrey’s second PechaKucha night next Wednesday, Feb. 4. Through short, fast-paced presentations (20 slides for 20 seconds each), young entrepreneurs such as Glen Chua (Surrey International Film Festival) and others, provide inspiration in this TEDTalks-esque seminar. It all kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with music by the band Switch to Black, at Surrey’s Centre Stage (Surrey City Hall, 13450 104 Avenue). Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling 604-501-5566.

Surrey high school students ace university courses Christopher Poon
Now staff Twitter @Questionchris
SURREY — A group of Surrey high school students have shown they are more than ready for the next step in education following a successful first semester at Simon Fraser University. The students are taking the university level courses as part of a program called the Fraser Heights Integrated Math and Science Academy, which places secondary students in first-year math and sciences classes at SFU.
The program kicked off in 2014 and the first batch of students is just finishing up the second part of the two-year program. While the program is based out of Fraser Heights Secondary, it is open to all students within the district. “It’s been excellent, the students are loving the experience; they’re doing really well and we’re really proud of them,” said Fraser Heights principal Sheila Morissette. “I think we sent SFU some really fine students.” Believed to be the first of its kind in Western Canada, the program allows high school students to earn up to 17 university

credits towards their post-secondary studies. For Grade 12 student Matthew Li, the program meant getting a head start on the next stage of his life. “I applied to a lot of universities in the U.S. and it’s really good to have this because it fulfills all of your science requirements,” explained Li, who wants to go into engineering. “You go to UBC and they might say you need two sciences but I won’t need to worry if I have enough credits.” As for the challenge of taking universitylevel courses, the students appear to be more than capable of rising to the occasion. For SFU’s Chemistry 121 course, half of the high school students attained an A- or
higher and the overall average mark was 10 per cent higher than that of the university students taking the same class. Claire Cupples, dean of science at SFU, said she is delighted by the results of the program thus far. “Clearly these students are capable of working beyond their level and SFU is happy to provide them with an opportunity to expand their horizons and help them acquire university credits,” she said. So what are the students doing that makes them so successful? Li attributes it all to teamwork. “We work together to solve problems, it’s really a big strong sense of community that really holds the programs together,” he said. And with the success of the debut year now on the books, the program is currently accepting applications for Grade 11 students in the 2015-2016 school year. “In all honesty I think it’s an amazing program and it’s excellently put together,” said Li. “I have to give kudos to the teachers who put their blood, sweat and tears into putting this thing together.” For more information on the program, go to Fhtsscienceacademy.ca.

From straight A’s to accused of stabbing her mom 24 times MURDER TRIAL: Emotional testimony from victim’s family details how a bright, happy stepdaughter changed at age 20 and ‘started going downhill’ STORY BY TOM ZYTARUK
T
hey say a parent’s worst nightmare is to lose their child. But is it? A Surrey woman who was stabbed 24 times in her daughter’s tiny basement suite in Fleetwood was scared to be alone with her in the months prior to her death. That’s what Trevor Forsyth told Justice Frits Verhoeven at the murder trial of his stepdaughter, Gloria Crystle Zerbinos, this past week in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. “She said she was afraid to be with Gloria,” he said. “The last few months, Yota didn’t want to go over alone.” Gloria Zerbinos, 30, is being tried for second-degree murder in the Nov. 8, 2012 death of her 43-year-old mother Panagiota “Yota” Zerbinos, whose body was found lying on the living room floor of Gloria’s basement suite in Fleetwood with a kitchen knife stuck in her chest. Some of Forsyth’s testimony concerning the mother and daughter’s relationship during the judge-withoutjury trial was heard in a voir-dire hearing, which is essentially a trial within a trial. The judge will have to decide what weight he’ll give this evidence, if any, in his deliberations. Forsyth, a 48-year-old Whalley resident, had been the common-law husband of Panagiota for 23 years. The time they had together was “great,” he said. “Couldn’t ask for anything more.” Forsyth told the court Panagiota was a salesperson at a clothing store in Guildford and suffered from debilitating arthritis to the extent doctors had been trying to rebuild one of her hands. The couple lived in a house in Whalley, and at times Gloria lived with them. Forsyth met Gloria when she was five. Her biological dad lives in Saskatchewan. The stepdad told the court he got along with Gloria “fine, normal,” until she got into strip club dancing and doing recreational drugs. She lived with them, he said, until she was 17, when she moved to Edmonton after getting kicked out of school. She came back, moved in with them again for a while, left to live with a boyfriend, and then lived with her
Gloria Crystle Zerbinos, right, is being tried for second-degree murder in the death of her 43-year-old mother Panagiota “Yota” Zerbinos, whose body was found lying on the floor of Gloria’s basement suite in Fleetwood with a kitchen knife stuck in her chest. grandmother for a while, again in Surrey. Forsyth said he helped Gloria move several times. She moved to Saskatchewan in 2010, returned to Surrey pregnant with a son and stayed with her mom and stepdad until she found a basement suite to rent in the 8800-block of 148A Street. She did not have a vehicle or drivers licence and they did her laundry and regularly dropped it off at her suite. He said Gloria had once been a straightA student but bore a grudge against her mother for splitting up with her biological dad. He noted a change in her behaviour when she hit her early 20s and as time wore on her moods became more erratic and unpredictable. “In the last few years she changed dramatically.” He told the court Gloria thought her phone had been bugged, thought people wanted to harm her and take her baby,
and had once asked him if “people from the tree” took her stuff. “She had a couple violent exboyfriends, I guess, that she was running from.” He also told the court he once saw her smoking meth in front of his house. “There’s stuff out there that can really change you and you can’t come back from,” he remarked. Forsyth said Gloria sometimes stayed with them in Whalley but wasn’t helpful around the house. “She was more concerned about herself.” The mother and daughter spent about half their time together arguing, he said, and sometimes this led to violence. Once, he said, perhaps in 2009, he was watching television in the bedroom with the door closed when he heard screaming coming from the kitchen. “It was along the line that me and
Yota don’t deserve to live,” he said, and that Panagiota’s arthritis was God’s punishment. He said his wife was trying to calm her daughter down. “She’s not aggressive as Gloria is,” Forsyth said. He recalled receiving a panicked phone call from Gloria from their house in Whalley while he and Panagiota were at a Canucks hockey game in Vancouver, claiming one of her boyfriends was “coming to get her.” “She was in fear and I believed her,” Forsyth said. “Some of the friends she brought around were kind of scary. “We got home as fast as we could,” he said. “She was staying in our house at that time.” Seeing as they were in Vancouver, he said, he asked a friend to swing by the house to make sure everything was OK, and the friend found nothing untoward.

Send your story ideas or photo submissions to ‘Now’ editor Beau Simpson at edit@thenownewspaper.com When they arrived home, he said, Gloria was wound-up, hyper, agitated. He said Gloria accused him of rushing home only to make sure his possessions were OK, and he replied that wasn’t the case and that he and her mother were worried about her safety. He told the court Gloria punched him in the face. He said he retreated to the bathroom to nurse his bleeding fat lip. Yota then ran by him down the hall, screaming, and hid in their bedroom. He called 911, he said. He could hear hissing and saw an orange mist – bear spray – coming from under the bathroom door. He said his eyes burned and he couldn’t breath. Panagiota’s face was orange, he said, her eyes were bloodshot red, and she was choking and gagging. When the police arrived, he said, they took one step inside the door “then backed right out.” Gloria, meantime, had run off down the street and was arrested, but Trevor and Panagiota didn’t press charges. Forsyth said on one Valentines Day, he thinks it was 2009, he and Panagiota were celebrating quietly at their house when Gloria showed up with a boyfriend, unannounced. Shortly after, he said, he heard the mother and daughter arguing in the kitchen, and hallway. “Gloria had Yota’s wrists and had her up against the wall,” he said. Panagiota was “screaming for help.” He said he yanked Gloria’s hair to get her off her mother, and Gloria’s boyfriend at the time grabbed him from behind and put him in a chokehold. He said he told his wife to call 911 as he slowly dragged Gloria and her boyfriend to the door and out of the house. They were gone by the time police arrived, and Panagiota told the officers a bogus story about the smoke alarm going off and that it was a false alarm. Forsyth went along with it. “I didn’t want to get between a mother and daughter,” he explained. Panagiota’s wrists were bruised, he said. Forsyth told the court that on July 22, 2012 Gloria gave her mother two black eyes. The mother and daughter had been arguing at the Whalley house, he said, and Panagiota drove Gloria back to her basement suite. “Gloria punched me,” she told him on her return. She had an ice pack on her face, he said, and told him that Gloria offered to put makeup on her to “cover it up.” He said the mother and daughter had been arguing about cash. “Gloria wanted some money – $20,” Forsyth said. His wife tried to hide her black eyes “for a while with makeup and glasses.” After that, they continued to do Gloria’s laundry and bring it to her but he didn’t ask Gloria about her mom’s black eyes, he said, “because we’d just get into an argument if we brought it up.” On Gloria’s birthday, on Oct. 29, 2012, Forsyth picked her up at her place to take her back to Whalley, where Panagiota was preparing a dinner for her. He said Panagiota told him she didn’t want to be alone with her daughter.

He returned home at 4:15 p.m. to find her car gone and tried calling her on her cellphone repeatedly but got no answer. She finished work at 1 p.m., he recalled. “I was expecting her to be home.” He thought she might have gone to Gloria’s home, roughly a 10-minute drive away, to drop off her laundry for her, as the couple had planned to do the day before but didn’t get around to it. He called Panagiota’s mom – she hadn’t seen her. He didn’t call Gloria, he said, as “she has no phone.” He drove to Gloria’s in his truck, sensing something was wrong, and called his older brother Scott. On arrival, he saw Panagiota’s car in the driveway, with her purse and phone inside, and a bag of laundry in the hatchback, and knocked on Gloria’s door but there was no answer. He tried other doors and windows, with no luck. He called Scott to tell him nobody was there, and it didn’t look right. He spent the next while driving between Gloria’s place, her grandmother’s and his own, fretting about his wife. “Just going back and forth, didn’t know what to do,” he told the court. Gloria’s landlord wasn’t there to let him in. He returned with Scott, who looked through a break in the window blinds and saw a “hump” in front of the couch, by the light of the TV. They got a flashlight from the truck but this didn’t help because of the reflection from the double-pane window. Eventually, the landlord came home and Trevor asked him if he could get inside his stepdaughter’s suite. “I need to clear my mind,” Trevor said he told him. “He was a little hesitant at first.” The landlord opened the door, said “hello” several times but all was silent. Trevor remained outside while Scott said he would go in and have a look. Scott had to push his way to get in as there was stuff against the door. From the outside, Trevor again looked through the broken blind, as the lights were now on, and saw his wife’s leg sticking out from under a blanket. He began screaming. “Scott came out, grabbed me and dragged me away from the house.” Scott Forsyth also testified. He said Panagiota and Trevor “were like two peas in a pod, always happy.” He said he knew Gloria since she was a child and he’d been like a big
brother or uncle to her. “Growing up, she was just a regular kid and when she was 20 years old started going down hill,” he said. When the Crown asked him to identify Gloria in court, he turned to the prisoner’s box, made an “L” on his forehead with one hand and pointed at her with the other. Somebody in the gallery snickered. He testified that when Trevor called him for help on Nov. 8, 2012, his brother seemed confused and “stressed right out.” Trevor and Panagiota were in contact all the time, he said, and for him not able to contact her didn’t make any sense. “He said he didn’t know what to do.” When they saw the blanket through the window, he said, “We were trying not to think the worst.” He said another tenant was working on a car in the driveway and told them Gloria had left at about 2 p.m. and had tried to take her mother’s car but couldn’t get it started. The tenant told them Gloria asked him for a ride but he told her he was too busy. Scott said Trevor was “in a daze” and “white as a ghost, freaking out, crying.” Scott told the court he entered Gloria’s suite through the foyer, stepped over some electrical cords, went into the living room and saw “a big mess. There was a large amount of dried blood and it looked like somebody was doing snow angels in the blood.” Trevor and other family members in the gallery cried, while Gloria, dressed in a green jumpsuit, yellow crocs and wearing her hair in a ponytail, quietly watched the witness testify. Scott said there was blood all over the living room floor. He said he “pulled some of the blanket up,” and recognized Panagiota’s arthritic hand. “My heart started racing,” he said. He lifted the blanket some more. He’d never seen a dead body before. He said her face was very blotchy and her eyes were mostly “puffed closed,” with one slightly open. “Looked like she was looking at me,” he told the court. He said he put his hand by her leg. “I said I was sorry,” he recalled. He didn’t check her pulse. “It was pretty obvious.” Earlier in the trial, the court heard from
forensic pathologist Dr. David Charlesworth that Panagiota had been stabbed 24 times, not counting lacerations, and that the knife had been bent into “pretty much a ‘U’ shape.” “Maybe it happened near the end.” Scott Forsyth testified that he screamed to the landlord’s son to call 911, and heard the boy running upstairs. He said he heard Trevor screaming outside, “I knew it, I knew it.” Scott said he went outside, grabbed his brother, hugged him and stopped him from going inside. “You can’t go in there,” he said he told him. “There’s nothing you can do. You do not want to go in there.” Surrey RCMP Const. Brian Pierschke was called to the scene. He and another officer called out “Police, we’re coming in,” and with guns drawn proceeded to clear the basement suite, room by room. All the lights were on, he said. He saw the body under the blanket. Pierschke said he saw bloody dried footprints leading away from the body, heading across the tile floor into the bathroom and kitchen. A paramedic pulled the blanket back, grabbed the victim’s left wrist and checked for a pulse. “There’s a kitchen knife stuck in her upper left chest,” the constable recalled. The victim was lying on her back, with her arms to her side.
THE ARREST
Gloria Zerbinos was arrested in Vancouver on Nov. 10, 2012, inside a Vancouver strip club called No. 5 Orange, where she’d worked as a dancer about a year and a half earlier under her stage name, “Naudia Nice.” Cathy Small, a waitress at the bar, noticed Zerbinos sitting with a man and served them a round of drinks. “It was weird to even see her in my bar,” she said. “She hadn’t been there in years.” Small said she told Zerbinos she’d heard the police were looking for her and were showing her photo to people at T-Barz Exotic Show Room in Surrey. She said Zerbinos replied, “Really?” and kept looking at the stage, seemingly non-chalant. Bar manager Jeremy Rossier said Zerbinos had worked at “the Five” for a couple of years, booked through a dancer agency, but said he didn’t know why she left. He said he was beginning his shift at about 6 p.m. on Nov. 10, 2012 when he noticed Zerbinos sitting at a table with a guy. Rossier told the court Zerbinos asked him for some “freelance work” doing private dances, and he agreed. He said she seemed sober and her mood was “very matter-offact.” Zerbinos went to change into a little silver sparkly dress, he said, and then sat back at her table. Police showed up about 10 minutes later, at the back door, and started looking around the bar. Rossier said Zerbinos got up and tried to walk by the police, and the officers stopped her. “They took her somewhere.” Rossier said the waitress had told him about the police looking for Zerbinos at TBarz but told the court he thought the story to be “far-fetched.” “She was sitting there so calmly,” he said. The trial continues. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Reading a joy for each generation
R
eading is one of the most important skills we can help pass on to our children. It’s also one of the greatest pleasures we can share with one another. Tuesday was Family Literacy Day, a national awareness program that aims to promote parents reading to and with their children. The ability to read – and to read well – is so important that it hardly needs to be stated. There is hardly a job in the world that doesn’t require literacy, not to mention the way it smooths out your path in dealing with the government, law, and financial institutions. But beyond that, one of the best reasons to read with and to your family is simple: it’s fun. Reading together allows a family to go on journeys into the past, the most distant parts of the world, the far future, or into realms that never have or will exist. Catch a reader young, and they’ll keep reading on their own, and pass that along to the next generation as well. Today, we live with millions of options at our fingertips, through cable TV, on-demand programming and the internet to access a vast collection of human knowledge and entertainment. Most of it is consumed passively. You watch a movie or a television show. Even in live theatre, it’s frowned upon to interrupt the performance to ask questions or comment, to stop and ask the actors to go back a few pages in the script and start again, this time doing everything in a different accent. The printed word allows for those options, immediately. Reading together, reading out loud or sharing books, permits a rare form of discussion. Each reader has their own view of the story, the vision they form in collaboration with the author. Stories live on long after the words “The End” appear, in the minds of their readers. The printed word is one of the few addictions that causes no lasting harm, and instead provides a life-long benefit of happiness. Glacier Media

Taxpayers are already tapped out The Editor, Re: “Transit vote proves leadership unable to make decisions,” the Now letters, Jan. 27. I agree with Allan Alton when he said we have leadership unable to make decisions. It used to be B.C. Transit and then they created another bureaucracy called TransLink. We know what people think of them. They not only need to clearly define the need for this tax but I believe they should appoint an independent and highly competent person to oversee the efficient and fair distribution and implementation of this money that is raised – and not TransLink management. Of course, that is if they get a “yes” vote. Taxpayers do expect our elected officials to lead and make decisions. Too
many times, to avoid making decisions or to avoid issues, they put them off for costly and time-wasting studies and reviews – or in this case, a transit referendum. No matter what the outcome, the days of tax and spend must end and fiscal responsibility must be maintained by strong and competent leadership. You can only go to the well so many times – and taxpayers are tapped out. Fred Scarfe, Surrey

transit plebiscite. Building light rail to Guildford and Newton is ridiculous. There are already plenty of buses going to these two locations. I think any transit additions should be built above grade. An at-grade LRT system will only create even more congestion. I also think it is wrong for mayors Gregor Robertson and Linda Hepner to be paid $50,000 extra a year for chairing the TransLink board. They are already getting paid a decent salary. To me, they are simply double dipping. It seems like TransLink is a money tree and all the politicians are only interested in how much money they can pluck for themselves.

f you’re reading this and you didn’t know Robbie Burns Day happened last Sunday I’ll let you in on a secret. Nobody cares. Nobody really gets worked up about the one day in Canada’s calendar where people of Scottish heritage are supposed to get excited about something. That’s mainly because it involves some obscure traditions we rarely see or understand followed by a reading of poetry. While I’m partial to a good sonnet, the popularity of poetry has been somewhat diminished in the time since Burns was taking quill to inkwell. It seems a poor tribute to one of Canada’s founding ethnic groups. As you’ve probably already guessed, my forebearers made the long voyage across the wee pond to Canada from Argyleshire, Scotland back in 1853, or more than a half century after Robbie Burns was in the ground. In fact, as farfetched as the film Titanic may seem, my great-great-great grandpappy met his future wife on the ship. And we’re all thankful for that. An interesting aside – my grandfather’s father, Alexander McNair, suddenly decided at midlife to add an “a” to his surname to more properly separate his Protestant

As Roy Macskimming notes in his review of the non-fiction book How the Scots Invented Canada, their influence is so pervasive it’s invisible. And although the stereotypical image of a fiery-haired warrior screaming barely intelligible insults on an English battlefield may be due to Mel Gibson, only a people as gregarious and durable as the Scots could find a place as miserably cold as Canada and call her a bonnie lass. Scottish immigrants have had a great deal of influence on Canada’s development into a nation, and the number of Canadians who today identify as having Scottish descent
faith from the Catholics in his community. My grandfather’s siblings were somewhat annoyed that the elder half were born “Mc” and the youngsters were “Mac.” Macs have made an indelible impression upon the historical landscape of Canada. In fact, our first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, was born in Scotland in 1815 and moved to the colony as a boy. Indeed, Scots contributed to more than half of Canada’s founding Fathers of Confederation, including 13 of our 22 prime ministers. Beginning in the 18th century and continuing for the next 200 years, the Scots migrated to Canada and became its

exceeds 4.7 million, or 15.1 per cent of the nation’s population. Ontario, where my family settled, has 2.1 million Canadians of Scottish heritage, nearly the population for all of Metro Vancouver. The number of Irish Canadians, by comparison, is nearly equal, with 4.3 million people identifying as having full or partial Irish heritage in the 2006 census. The reason I bring up the Irish is that if there’s one ethnicity that screams party, it’s the drink-until-you-drop, liver-damaging St. Patrick’s Day in March. You don’t need to be Irish to fall in love with Ireland on St. Paddy’s Day. All you need is a group of friends, a list of Irish pubs and a green t-shirt. Being Irish is fun and cool. And finding romance is as easy as wearing a t-shirt reading “Kiss me, I’m Irish.” Needless to say, the Scots do not have the same luck with the ladies on Robbie Burns Day. “Kiss me, I’ve just finished banqueting on sheep intestines” just does not have the same ring to it. Other cultures seem to know how to celebrate. The Germans have Oktoberfest, the Punjabis get Vaisakhi and the Chinese bring in the Lunar New Year. We know we’ll never be as hip as the Irish but there’s more to the culture than bagpipes and kilts. Let’s throw a party and find out.

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

t didn’t have to be this way. TransLink could have not wasted so much of our money on silly gimmicks and instead put precious tax dollars into important things like maintaining the Expo Line properly and avoiding massive shutdowns. We could have had TransLink executives and a board of directors held accountable by our elected officials when they greenlit bad projects that didn’t move a single person a single inch, when they acted in an unaccountable, high-handed way or when they continually came in for more money and more perks. The premier, the minister of transportation and the TransLink Mayors could have pushed harder to stop TransLink waste before it got out of hand, before we had dozens and dozens of examples of our money being devoured by bad planning and a poisoned corporate culture. Our elected leaders could have stood up for us, reminding the board and the executives that they had been handed a sacred trust – and firing them when they failed the taxpayers and riders footing the bill. The TransLink Mayors could have worked together to prioritize their $7.5billion wish list, thinking instead about what the region and its taxpayers could bear, not what they could package politically. The TransLink Mayors did not have to pitch a new sales tax. TransLink did not have to allocate $4 million of your tax dollars to try and “educate” the public to vote “yes.” The provincial government did not have to spend $5 million to prepare a mail-in ballot on a tax few are excited about. As a new independent accounting analysis of the TransLink Mayors’ spending plan reveals, they could have funded their wish list without a sales tax that will hurt struggling seniors and financially-squeezed
families, already facing another expensive year of property tax, MSP, Hydro, ICBC, Ferries, EI, and CPP hikes. The 50-page analysis, done by a Certified Management Accountant, shows that local government – Metro Vancouver, TransLink and the 21 Metro municipalities – will see an annual revenue growth rate of 4.8 per cent over the next decade. By earmarking just 0.5 per cent of that 4.8 per cent growth rate to transportation priorities, the TransLink Mayors could have generated enough revenue to spare us the sales tax. Their cities would still see 4.3 per cent growth, a rate far exceeding the inflation and the growth at the federal and provincial levels. This contribution would have likely enhanced their position in TransLink discussions, giving them the greater voice they claim they crave. It could have all been so different, if only someone on the TransLink file had shown real, gritty, tough leadership. Where were the leaders willing to do the hard work, pushing back against raising taxes and finding the money within government’s ever-growing revenues? Where were the other organizations which were supposed to be watching out for small business owners and cash strapped working families? Why weren’t they pushing for less TransLink waste and other funding options? In the absence of common sense leadership from our elected officials, voters must step into the vacuum. Taxpayers should visit Notranslinktax. ca to learn more about this failure in leadership. Lower Mainlanders must vote “no” to the TransLink sales tax, and force these politicians to fix TransLink and aggressively address waste in the system. From there, they can prioritize their plan and earmark a portion of the revenue windfall local governments are projecting to fund transportation. It can all be so different – but only if taxpayers show the politicians a better way. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

For better or worse, cycling dreams start before spring PainfulTruth Matthew Claxton
I
t’s been unseasonably warm a few times this month. For some this means yearning towards getting out in the garden, or longing looks at the jet ski gathering dust in the garage.
For me, it means I’ve started dreaming about bike rides. Let’s be clear, I’m not actually some kind of supercommitted, hyper-athletic cyclist. My cycling hobby varies between “cheerful enthusiast” and “pathetic couch-bound bicycle-owner.” In 2014, it was much closer to the latter. Towards the end of the year, I started to get the cycling itch again, and daydreams of long rides under sunlit skies began to invade my thoughts. Unfortunately, it’s still January. As I write these words, temperatures are nearly in double digits and sunny. By
don’t miss a thing!
tomorrow, no doubt it will be raining and hovering around six Celsius again. Add to that the fact that it’s still dark by 5 p.m. and before 8 a.m., and pre- or post-work rides are still hazardous. This leaves two alternatives – the weekend ride, and the indoor ride. The weekend ride really only depends on weather to the extent that it not be snowing. In the past, I’ve ridden in sleet (painful when it smacks into your face) and hail (makes a delightful rattle on the top of a helmet). For a good winter ride, you need at least four things: 1) Gloves, really, really warm and waterproof. 2) Waterproof shoe covers, little neoprene booties that look like they were engineered for the space program 3) A waterproof jacket, and 4) A willingness to let Mother Nature kick the crap out of you. Returning from a relatively nice day in January and February, you can still expect to find various parts of your body (ie your entire torso) have turned bright red from the cold, your nose is leaking fluids like an elderly Hyundai, and you have a mouthful of grit and road salt. On the plus side, you get to be smug all year towards any fellow cyclists who didn’t start riding until March.
There are also rollers. These are conveyer-belt dealies on which your bike sits, sans any clamps. I’m a fan of the device, mostly the many videos you can find online of people slipping off and crashing into their bedroom walls. Meet our precious Elizabeth! She’s a darling 93year old, who has a flair for fashion and loves the color purple!

Or, you can be like me and find all kinds of chores and other excuses to take up your weekends, so you don’t have to go out in actual weather. If you’re too busy/lazy, the only other option to real cycling is the indoor ride. Many cyclists, more serious and less miserly than myself, buy what are known as “trainers.” A trainer is a device that clamps on to the back wheel of your bike and holds it upright, allowing you to ride without going anywhere. Amazingly, there is no Sisyphus brand, yet. There are also rollers. These are conveyer-belt dealies on which your bike sits, sans any clamps. I’m a fan of the device, mostly the many videos you can find online of people slipping off and crashing into their bedroom walls. That leaves the other option, the stationary bike. Stationary bikes are not that much fun. My strata has a couple in its small gym; one of them has an uncomfortable seat, the other an excruciating seat. The guys at the factory seem to have decided that if it was more comfortable than a cheese grater, it was good enough. Still, they’re much, much better than nothing. The strata folks even installed little flatscreen TVs on the stationary bikes. I have yet to turn one on. I’m terrified that if I get used to watching TV while riding, I’ll head out on my real bike, absent-mindedly reach for the remote to change the channel and ride straight into a ditch. So for now, I’m just spinning away, staring at a blank black rectangle, desperately trying to get in good enough shape that the first real bike ride of the year won’t actually kill me dead.

❚ A basketball court of multi-coloured roses to Judith and Rachel for organizing and running the concession at the B.C. Catholics Tournament. It is a lot of work and you did it wonderfully. Single roses to the other parents who worked the concession – you are a fun bunch to work with and I look forward to next year. ❚ A big bouquet of roses to the staff at Amenida Seniors centre in Surrey for giving my mother Betty a wonderful 104th birthday party. The way you treat your residents is just awesome. ❚ A big smelly bunch of blue roses to everyone at Surrey Memorial’s pediactric emergency room for being so great when my seven-year-old broke her arm on Monday. For a first-time visit for both of us, they provided such excellent care that everything went super smoothly. Thank you! You guys are WOWSOME!
Three and four-year-olds and their families are invited to attend one of the Ready, Set, Learn events held at schools throughout the district from January through early May. Ready, Set, Learn is a program designed to provide children and families with an opportunity to engage in a series of play-based learning activities within the school setting. Parents/caregivers will receive helpful tips to support their child’s learning and development. Information about the early learning programs offered by the school district will be shared, as well as the community resources available to families. It is a great way for you to get to know your future school and meet the principal, staff and students. For details about school locations, phone numbers and dates for Ready, Set, Learn, please visit the Surrey School District website at www.surreyschools.ca, or contact your local school. The BC Ministry of Education also has a booklet for parents called, “Ready, Set, Learn: Helping your preschooler get ready for school,” available in multiple languages at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/early_learning/rsl/. Please share this information with anyone you know who has a three or four-year-old child
❚ A celebration of roses to the runner who stopped to give me his information after a rough car accident. Also, bushels of grateful roses to the first responders who attended at 181st Street and 64th Avenue Monday night and took such good care of my 10-year-old son and I. We are both very grateful for their compassion and professionalism. ❚ Roses to the friendly and hardworking staff at Wing Yuen Chinese and Vietnamese Restaurant in Newton. Every time I escape the office and have lunch there (about once a week), I am always greeted with excellent service and great food at such great value. Despite working long hours, the staff always seem to greet customers with a warm smile. ❚ Roses to coaches Jimmy Vulcano and Jay Grice for working so hard (and being so patient) with our young ball players in Cloverdale. A highlight of my week is watching the kids have so much fun while learning the fundamentals of ball!
❚ A huge dump truck full of rotten tomatoes to drivers who don’t know how to use roundabouts. When approaching you, are to yield to traffic in the circle and the traffic in said circle is not to stop for you to enter the circle. If you don’t know how to use them, drive elsewhere. ❚ A coach house full of rotten tomatoes to owners of homes in Clayton Heights who let their children play basketball and/or hockey in the back alley. I live in a coach house, work shift work and go to school. The constant noise of kids hitting the garage with balls and sticks is unbearable, summers are worse. There is ample space to play in the front yards... be considerate to your neighbours! ❚ A semi full of rotten tomatoes to the province, TransLink and every other government agency involved in not doing something to eliminate the heavy truck traffic on the Pattullo Bridge and Canada Way and getting them back where they belong – on Highway 1. Give them some incentive, reduce the tolls – it’s a simple solution, not rocket science. ❚ A big bag full of rotten tomatoes go out to the bus line that does not have a flexible schedule of bus times for going to Whistler.You are the worst company ever and I hope you close down! ❚ Rotten tomatoes to our new mayor in Surrey. So she wants a new transit tax. When is the mayor of Surrey going to start collecting owed taxes and fees for illegal suites in Surrey to pay for some of these things? ❚ Rotten tomatoes to people with pickup trucks full of old nails and screws that fall out whenever they open the tailgate or even stop somewhere – especially at supermarkets and malls. Don’t you have any common sense at all? Oh, by the way try putting a red flag on the crap hanging out of your box, too.

‘I wasn’t there when I should’ve been’ Husband of slain hockey mom reflective on first day of accused killer’s preliminary hearing Amy Reid
Now staff Twitter @amyreid87
SURREY — “It should have been me.” More than a year after his high school sweetheart Julie Paskall lost her life following an attack outside Newton Arena, her husband Al still feels a twinge of guilt. If his bloodshot eyes and blank stare weren’t enough to reveal that, his words did. “Somebody has to be here for her… I wasn’t there when I should’ve been,” he said in the hallway outside courtroom 107 at Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday, as evidence was presented during the first day of her accused killer’s preliminary hearing. Yosef Jomo Gopaul has been charged with second-degree murder in the case. “I still blame myself,” said Paskall’s husband. While Al acknowledged the attack could have happened to anyone, he said, “he would’ve messed with the wrong guy if he messed with me.” Julie, 53, was attacked outside Newton Arena on Dec. 29, 2013 when she was picking up her son from a hockey game. She
died in hospital two days later. Her death spurred public outcry for increased safety in the community. Al said feeling responsible for his slain wife’s death is “not a pleasant place to be.” Al Paskall “I wish I could take her place.” Standing outside the courtroom, he recalled courting Julie in a Ladner high school when they were both teenagers. “I chased her for a year,” he recalled. “I just wore her down,” he added, a smile briefly crossing his face. The two were married by 19 and in 1988 bought their home in Surrey’s St. Helen’s Park area. They were together for nearly 35 years before she lost her life and had three children together, a now 17-year-old son and two adult daughters. Al said he will be at court every day for the duration of the hearing, but has told his children to stay away. “I begged and pleaded for them not to,” he said, adding, “it’s stuff you don’t want to hear.” Community advocate Jude Hannah also attended day one of the preliminary hearing. She described Paskall’s death as a “turning point” for the community. The hearing is set to continue Wednesday while evidence is considered, all of which is
subject to a publication ban. The accused murderer has not entered a formal plea at this point. Gopaul came to Surrey from Ontario eight weeks prior to the attack. A man by Julie Paskall the same name was considered a high risk to re-offend after an Ontario conviction for attacking a woman on New Year’s Day 2010. Parole Board of Canada documents say Gopaul has gang affiliations and a “history of both drug and alcohol abuse” that was considered a factor in the incident. A July 2012 decision on Gopaul’s release said he appeared to have difficulty considering the short and long-term consequences of his actions, and noted he had shown little remorse or insight into the violent attack on a woman he followed from a bar at 2:30 a.m. The victim recalled “being struck with punches and kicks and fighting back and being dragged by the hood of her jacket while she was naked from the waist down.” Gopaul pushed the woman into a frozen creek as he fled. Back in Surrey, RCMP were looking into whether Gopaul was involved in connection to a Dec. 16, 2013 assault but he has not been charged. -With files from Vancouver Sun

Port Mann Bridge use dips following toll hike METRO VANCOUVER — Use of the Port Mann Bridge was down in 2014 after the toll was doubled following a one-year introductory rate. The rate was raised from $1.50 to $3 in January 2014, which is the same time as the opening of South Fraser Perimeter Road. According to new traffic figures, there were 34,300 fewer trips in 2014 than the roughly 1.26 million the year previous, following the full tolling rate being brought in. The only month to see higher traffic numbers was December, with 95,000 in 2013 and 97,500 in 2014. At the same time, traffic continued to rise on the Pattullo Bridge, according to TransLink numbers for 2014. In December last year, for instance, an average 77,930 crossed the bridge daily, compared with fewer than 70,000 vehicles in December 2012, before the toll was introduced. Transportation Investment Corp. is responsible for the bridge and spokesman
Max Logan said the latest figures show the Port Mann traffic numbers are stabilizing, noting volumes were three per cent higher in December 2014 than the year before, and up almost five per cent to date in January. He insisted that TI Corp. is on track to pay off the Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project debt by 2050. Gregory Thomas, a director with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said it’s no surprise to see lower use once the toll was increased. Thomas said he’d like to see discounts offered for the bridge on weekends or during non-peak hours. He criticized the government for “politicizing” transportation decisions. “We’re seeing massive political interference and a traffic system that’s a mess,” he stated. He pointed infrastructure without tolls, such as the Sea to Sky Highway and South Fraser Perimeter Road. “If you want to drive from West Van to
Whistler on the Sea to Sky Highway, which was not a cheap project, there’s no toll. It clearly doesn’t make a lot of sense for people having to pay $6 to drive back and forth across the Port Mann Bridge to go to work and there’s no traffic on the Port Mann and down at the Massey Tunnel people are lined up.” He said while the government is saying they didn’t replace the Massey Tunnel because there was no money to do so, Thomas insisted the project could have been done some time ago if there was a reasonable toll on the infrastructure. “We could have the Pattullo (Bridge) and the Massey Tunnel… 10 years ago if the province and TransLink had sat down and come up with rational way to pay for it all.” Thomas said with a sensible tolling strategy, the government wouldn’t need to implement other charges, such as the gas levy, which he referred to as a “double tax.” Amy Reid, with files from Vancouver Sun
Briefly
Girl, 17, in hospital after being beaten SURREY — Surrey Mounties are investigating an assault in Whalley after receiving a 911 call on Monday afternoon that a woman was being threatened with a gun inside a house in the 12800-block of 100th Avenue. Police received the call at 1:30 p.m. The victim, a 17-year-old girl, was found inside the house and taken to hospital, suffering a contusion to the back of her head. The gunman ran away, but police arrested an unarmed 31-year-old suspect nearby. No charges have yet been laid. Police found an Airsoft pellet gun, Paquet said. “Officers are currently on scene to conduct neighbourhood canvassing and speak with witnesses in order to obtain further information,” Cpl. Bert Paquet said. He said the girl had been beaten and wasn’t shot. Officers are still in the early stages of their investigation, but believe the incident involves parties known to each other.

Rasode hired by non-profit society SURREY — Former Surrey city councillor and mayoral candidate Barinder Rasode has a new post outside civic politics. Rasode was appointed to Fraser Health’s board of directors on Friday and has also been hired as the director of social responsibility at Resource Works, a non-profit society that researches the economic impacts of B.C.’s natural resource Barinder Rasode sector. At Fraser Health, Rasode will ensure that appropriate community consultations take place, while working with senior management to help guide the strategic direction of B.C.’s largest health authority. In her role at Resource Works, she’ll work with the government and private sector to tackle issues facing resource industries. Rasode previously served two terms as an elected city councillor in Surrey and ran for mayor in the 2014 municipal elections, but lost to Linda Hepner’s Surrey First team. Vancouver Desi

New trial ordered in burglary case
MK Delta puts bog development plans on hold
VANCOUVER — The Court of Appeal for British Columbia has ordered a new trial in a five-year-old Surrey burglary case after finding the trial judge based his decision to acquit the suspect on his own investigation rather than that of an expert witness. Timothy Dale Bornyk had been accused of burglarizing a house in Fleetwood in July 2010 but was acquitted of break, enter and theft because Justice Gordon Funt judge couldn’t be sure a partial fingerprint
on a box containing a carnival ghoul doll belonged to him. The Crown then appealed the acquittal and the appeal court found Funt had erred by making his own comparison of known and latent prints, finding ‘differences’ that had not been put to an expert witness. Justice Mary Saunders found Funt “stepped beyond his proper neutral role and into the fray.” Tom Zytaruk

DELTA — MK Delta Lands Group is asking the Corporation of Delta to put its controversial housing application on hold while the company looks at developing other parcels of land. In a letter dated Jan. 12, president Joanne Barnett requests the municipality hold the application for a major North Delta housing development in abeyance and agree to consider receiving an application to allow industrial development on another nearby parcel. “Because of our significant involvement with Mayor (Lois) Jackson’s Save Our Industrial Lands (SOIL) initiative, along with our review of other recent reports, we have become very much aware of the importance of industrial development to both Delta and the province,” Barnett stated. She goes on to state that the company is working on an application, which is expected within the next month, for Official Community Plan and zoning amendments to allow industrial development on a parcel located south of Highway 17 and the Highway 91 connector, adjacent to the Sunbury Landing Industrial Area. MK Delta Lands is also looking at turning over an adjacent lot to Delta, which would act as an environmental buffer between the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area and the subject property. The company has been working on its major housing and commercial plan near Burns Bog in North Delta for several years. Located on the east side of Highway 91 between 64th and 72nd avenues, the most recent proposal features 450 townhomes and up to 650 condos. The commercial area would have a maximum of 130,000 square feet of retail, including a grocery store. However, the proposal has faced opposition in the community and was scaled back twice from an original version. The Burns Bog Conservation Society continues to lobby against development at the site, having gathered almost 1,800 signatures through an online petition. The society says there are many concerns, including the loss of habitat for rare and endangered animals and that the development will negatively impact the conservation area.

Groundhog Day in Newton SURREY — The Newton Business Improvement Association is bringing an old pioneer tradition to Surrey. Once thought to determine whether spring was on its way or if winter would be here to stay, each Feb. 1 settlers would watch for groundhogs to pop up. If the groundhog saw its shadow and nested back into the earth, a few more months of winter would ensue. If the groundhog didn’t cast a shadow, spring would be coming soon. The event starts at noon on Sunday, Feb. 1 at Newton’s Grove. Lou Jack the Groundhog will pop out to determine the length of winter at the end of it all, followed by a free screening of Groundhog Day (the 1993 flick starring Bill Murray) at the Hollywood 3 Cinemas at 2 p.m. This is the first event for the new BIA.

Message to the Citizens of Delta The past 20 years have gone by very quickly for me. I can vividly remember my wife, Sheila, and our three children packing up, saying our goodbyes to friends and family in Edmonton, and driving to Delta. We were beginning a new phase in our lives. At this point, I had just completed 25 years of policing with the Edmonton Police Service. I was the Superintendent in charge of Downtown Division in Edmonton. I had an excellent career and was now looking forward to leading my own police department. Mayor Beth Johnson, and the Delta Police Board at the time, had asked that I sign a 10-year contract - I would only commit to 5 years. I started my career as the Chief Constable for the Delta Police Department on February 2, 1995. Twenty years later, I am as excited and inspired by my work as I was back in 1995. The men and women of the Delta Police Department are professional, motivated and highly trained. The police officers, civilian staff and hundreds of volunteers are an outstanding team who are committed to “Excellence in Policing”, making Delta one of the safest communities in Canada. It is because of this dedication that we were named one of the most popular police departments in Canada by the Globe and Mail. While my tenure was interesting, exciting and highly developmental, there were tragic moments that will stay with me forever. The homicides of Manjit Panghali and Laura Szendrei and the fatal motor vehicle accidents involving Alexa Middelaar, Orion Hutchinson, Cody Kehler and Chantal Maclean, Cst. Mark Nieuwenhuis and many other terrible events, took their toll on all of us. We were able to pull together as a police department and as a community, providing assistance and support to the friends and families impacted by these tragedies. Through partnerships between the police and the community, we have accomplished several things together. The Public Safety Building in North Delta allowed us to decentralize our policing model, better connecting us with both North and South Delta. We collaborated with the community to develop comprehensive strategic plans that provide us with our vision and our direction for the years ahead. Through the support of the Police Board and Mayor and Council we have been able to provide our organization with the top training and equipment in order to serve this community in the best possible fashion. Since I started in 1995, our policing strength has increased by approximately 50 police officers. Our Victim Services staff through their work and research allowed us to introduce Caber, Canada’s first compassion dog, to aid people traumatized by tragic events. Several other police departments are now following our lead. We have created a Vulnerable Sector Unit, which will attend to the needs of our seniors, youth at risk, victims of domestic violence and people with mental health issues. We have solved some very high profile and complex investigations and our clearance rates for crimes against persons and property crimes are very good. I have enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to shape and mold the Delta Police Department into a community-based, intelligence-led and accountability-driven police department. We have developed positive relationships and formed excellent partnerships with our community. It is the Delta Police and community working together that makes us strong and safe. I am not retiring so to speak, I am just going to move forward and look for new opportunities. I plan to enhance my education by earning my master’s degree. I will continue to write articles for Chief Chats and look forward to supporting other people in executive positions through coaching and mentoring. I take this time to thank all of the people I have met and worked with over the past years. Your support has been absolutely incredible and wish you all the very best.
Jim Cessford Chief Constable (rtd.)

WHITE ROCK — While it may be one of the oldest piers around, the White Rock pier might also happen to be the longest in the country. With that in mind, Coun. Dave Chesney brought forth a motion Monday requesting staff research the city’s pier and verify that it is, in fact, the longest in Canada. “This (idea) came about as a result of working on part of the pier,” said Chesney. “It’s not something we ever think about because we look at it all the time.” According to Chesney, the City of Campbell River had been claiming their 600-foot pier was the longest in Canada, until he called them and noted White Rock’s was nearly double the length of theirs.

Betina Albornoz
“I thought we were onto something and spoke with Betina (Albornoz) of White Rock Tourism about it,” he said, noting she’s ready to have a banner created for the pier if it is verified to be the longest. Chesney said the status would be something nice to add to the already idyllic image many have of White Rock as a tourist destination. The motion passed four to two, with councillors Grant Meyer and Lynne Sinclair against, and Coun. Helen Fathers absent. Staff will now move ahead with comparing the pier to others in Canada.

Big thrills for Surrey Little Theatre Kristi Alexandra
Now contributor Twitter @kristialexandra
SURREY — Set upon the hill on a dark stretch of 184th Avenue is Surrey Little Theatre, a small wooden building that once stood as Clayton United Church. The former place of worship is used as the independent theatre troupe’s very own haunt. There are still original pews in the petite building’s entrance, with a concession for food sales, a 76-seat auditorium and a number of smaller rooms that can tuck away cast and crew in a deceptively small space. It’s eerie, actually. The latter is exactly why the spot is the perfect venue for Surrey Little Theatre’s latest production, I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. The play is a murder-mystery thriller starring Surrey’s Harry Pering, who plays the lead role of Greg, Shannon Pedder as Jan, Holly Zonneveld as Laura and Joe Tenta as George. Greg and his wife Jan are taken in by a neighbouring farmer, George, who delights in frightening the pair with gruesome stories of ghosts and murder. Meanwhile, Greg’s haughty sister, Laura, makes trouble for the couple by overstaying her welcome at their new, rural home. Directed by theatre veteran and longtime member of the SLT, Rita Price, the production is one that’ll have theatre-goers biting their nails and wondering what’s going to happen next. “I absolutely loved this play,” Price told the Now at a dress rehearsal for the show. “When I read this particular play, I was two pages away from the ending and I couldn’t figure out how it would end. I thought, ‘There’s only two more pages!’ and then, you know, ‘Wow, this is a thriller.’ When you can read something and if you don’t know how it’s going to end then that, to me, is a real suspense thriller,” she said, noting that she’s read hundreds of scripts over her career. I’ll Be Back Before Midnight is the 23rd play Price has directed. Peter Colley’s suspenseful plot wasn’t the
Farmer George (played by Joe Tenta, left) and his new tenants Greg (Harry Pering) and Jan (Shannon Pedder) chat in a rehearsal of I’ll Be Back By Midnight, opening this week at Surrey Little Theatre. (Photo: KRISTI ALEXANDRA) only reason Price chose the play. “Because it’s a small theatre, obviously it’s a small stage, so when you have a play and there’s 15 people in it, it’s not going to work,” she said. Price had to consider whether they could physically do the play, and a four-person cast made it a no-brainer. The play also made the cut for subject matter, as Price and the rest of SLT thought it was suitable for their audience. “Some plays belong in certain parts of Vancouver and they are not going to fly (in Surrey),” Price admitted. “Some of the plays have very colourful
language and very suggestive material and I go back, and think, ‘These are not Surrey Little Theatre patrons,’” she said. It’s been quite a while since the group put on a murder-mystery thriller, Price noted, but I’ll Be Back Before Midnight just couldn’t be shelved away for later. While Price’s personal penchant is comedy, she wanted to delve into a little drama, as well. “There’s a saying that even in drama, there’s comedic moments, and even in comedy, there’s dramatic moments. It’s just that the ratio changes,” she said.
“There’s definitely some comedic relief,” she assured the Now, before presenting the show to this reporter in a blacked-out auditorium late Monday night. To find out how it all ends, well, you’ll just have to find out for yourself. I’ll Be Back Before Midnight runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 21, Thursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees on Feb. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Brownpapertickets.com or reserved by calling 604-576-8451. Surrey Little Theatre is located at 7027 184th St., Surrey.

WHITE ROCK — An aromatic blend of freshly cooked Canard a L’orange and cooling pastries whirls to the entrance of Marine Drive’s Le Vol Au Vent, as the chef pulls out the night’s offering of poultry from the oven to present to diners, mouths watering, on Sunday evening (Jan. 25). It’s 6 p.m., and the eatery’s patronage – 20 in total – will dine (and drink and chat) until about 10 p.m. That’s just how the experience works. Le Vol Au Vent, a quaint mom-and-pop-run restaurant that seats no more than 25, is one of 18 participating restaurants in Taste White Rock, a dineout festival on the peninsula aimed at getting local and touring foodies eating out during what would typically be a slow season. Taste White Rock, formerly known as Bite of the Rock, kicked off Jan. 20 and runs until Feb. 13, with restaurants in the City by the Sea offering three-course menus for $25 and $35. Run by Parisian couple Nana and Michel Ficot, Le Vol Au Vent serves cuisine that evokes an authentically French dining experience but with none of the pomp characterized by the pays du vin. Billed as the only authentic French restaurant south of the Fraser, the place has got taste, food and hospitality down to a T. The Now was invited to taste this bit of White Rock, with all food paid for by Le Vol Au Vent and White Rock BIA. Restaurant co-owner and our server for the night, Nana, whets our palates with a complimentary hors d’oeuvre chicken liver mousse spread over a baguette slice with a pressed olive on top, and pairs it with a white 2013 sancerre. Next up is escargot, with a lesson on how to scoop up the mollusks, rub whole
garlic cloves against more baguette slices and spread the snail and garlic over the slice. Then, before the threecourse meal even begins, Nana shows off a basket of wild hedgehog mushrooms that will be used in the soupe aux champignons sauvage a l’huile de truffes starter. Talk about a fresh cooked meal. Other starters to choose from are the duck paté, a mixed green salad with profiteroles and stuffed mussels. Then, paired with a red blend by Terrasses Chateau Pesquile from the Rhone Valley, the main courses arrive. On the menu, it would seem that the halforange duck or the seafood vol au vent – bearing the restaurant’s name – would be the obvious choice. That is, until Nana explains that she only makes her cassoulet twice per year, and it takes three days until it’s ready to be served. It’s a white bean stew with chunks of roast lamb, chicken, beef and sausages broiled together. Nana spares no modesty in refilling our wine glasses as we take our time to chat and eat. For dessert, there’s no shortage of options, as sweets and pastries are set out on the counter from the entrance. There’s a fluffy cheesecake topped with raspberries and chocolate, bread pudding with whipped cream, raspberry tarts topped with chocolate and whipped cream. Me? I settle on the red wine poached pear, re-broiled and served with whipped cream and ice cream. Three courses, two bottles of wine and four hours later, we have had quite a taste of White Rock. We may soon return to Le Vol Au Vent to try yet another combination of choices on their threecourse menu, if not just for the full-bodied dining experience. kalexandra@ thenownewspaper.com

Timely ‘Addams Family’ focus for Surrey’s Matchettes ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
M
onday, Feb. 9 is an official holiday in B.C. – Family Day. It is supposed to be a time off “regular” work so that families can spend some quality time together. OK, scratch the “quality” – just spend some time with family. The rest will take care of itself. Most of us have family members who move in diverse directions, and it is difficult to co-ordinate schedules of work and activities so we are actually spending time with our housemates. Family. Then there are the families that work and play together all the time. Like Surrey’s Matchette family. Chad Matchette heads a family immersed in musical theatre. It truly is a family story that began when Chad met Erin Forrest. I already knew Chad as an outstanding actor from his performances at Surrey Little Theatre and with Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society. I was at their wedding; it never occurred to me at the time that this was a union that would, in time,
become a theatrical family. Chad has been involved in the local theatre scene for more than 30 years (really, already? That is as long as I have been writing for the Now). So I have known him as an actor (Lenny in SLT’s Of Mice and Men), director (Theatre Under the Stars and Royal City Musical Theatre), producer, writer and educator. He left a “regular” job to become owner and artistic director of the Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts and, more recently a founding member of Align Entertainment. Last year, Align Entertainment produced Shrek, the Musical to the delight of many. Of course, the whole family was involved with that production as well – wife Erin, daughter Emily, son Jack. This year, Align Entertainment presents an “alternate” family model for your viewing pleasure: The Addams Family. Said Chad: “The Addams Family may seem like an odd choice of show as a follow-up to Shrek, but when you really look at it, not so much. It’s a show that has a lot of heart and at its core is about something that most of us can relate to: being part of a crazy family. I first saw The Addams Family in 2010 in New York with my family.” Of course you did, Chad. Family is
important. Erin plays the role of Alice, Jack is assistant stage manager and Emily is sidelined this year, as she is a full-time student in the musical theatre program at Capilano University. Their outside performances are restricted. It takes a whole lot of time to dedicate your talents to community theatre. Emily will no doubt rise to the ranks of professional performer after graduating in two more years. She already has a good start. So Chad is living his lifelong dream of working in the arts, but also encourages Chad Matchette young people to express themselves and find their voice through musical theatre and dance. Align Entertainment presents The Addams Family, a musical for whole family, from Feb. 6 to 21 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave., Burnaby. The cast includes professionals as well as those learning the trade. This pro-am combination is a formula that has worked well for Theatre Under the Stars and Royal City Musical
Theatre Society. The best benefit is that the ticket prices are more affordable than if you had to pay everyone for everything. Part of the purpose of Align Entertainment is to involve the community and encourage arts among children, knowing that the audience is the reason for their existence. Again, show times during the run are 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Ticket prices range from $15 to $37.50 via Alignentertainment.ca, or call 778888-8444 for details. By now, I am sure Chad Matchette fully understands the pitfalls of both fatherhood and theatre. Could this outlook on life be funny? Stand-up comic Chris Gibbs has created a one-man show on this theme. It’s called Like Father, Like Son? Sorry, part of Surrey Arts Centre’s Family Day weekend, show time 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. Tickets range from $25 to $35, including all fees, at 604-501-5566 and Tickets.surrey.ca. Bring a friend, a parent, a teenager, a partner – anyone who wants to chill out and have a good laugh. No parenting experience is required. Family dynamics are fraught with challenges. A little laugh every now and then is therapeutic.

A Big Start For Delta: Delta Rise Mayor Lois Jackson joined the development team at Delta Rise to officially break ground on the construction of what will be North Delta’s newest and tallest tower. This was more than just another building commencing; the corporation of Delta has put much thought into the future of its community’s citizens, development and infrastructure. “The vision we had is coming to fruition and a lot of Delta people are coming and looking at the types of housing they need and are going to be coming here in a couple of years to live,” said Mayor Jackson. The 37-floor, Delta Rise tower is the first approved as part of the North Delta Area Plan, an endeavor that will see much of Scott Road change over the next few decades to accommodate developments and new business. Many of Delta’s residents are happy living within their community and don’t want to leave, but like much of the Canadian population, baby boomers don’t need all of the space their current homes offer and are looking to down size. The ability to downsize and stay in Delta is a large part of future planning for the municipality. People are happy in Delta and
want to see downsizing options. This is becoming a trend in many cities that are planning for the needs of boomers in coming years. Cities that do plan for boomer activity also see an influx of residents from surrounding communities who appreciate the lifestyle. Bill Szeto, principal of Otezs Project Marketing, loves the convenience,“This kind of product is lock and leave; you don’t have to worry about maintenance. Security is already installed in the building, you can turn the key and walk away, take a vacation, you don’t have to mow the lawn, paint the fence; there is no maintenance involved.” He continues,“Delta rise is a perfect fit for down sizers, there are no stairs to struggle with. No maintenance involved in the property just straight vacuum and cleanup. All the rest of the maintenance is taken care of.” Over 170 of Delta Rise’s 317 units are already sold as many home buyers are excited to live in a building that offers a great location with access to many local amenities, but also has much to offer in the building. It includes a gym, park like outdoor space, dog wash, secure underground parking and don’t forget about the amazing views. At 37 levels, the best views in Delta can be found at Delta Rise.

Surrey prospect makes WHL debut
Troy Landreville
Kyle Benning
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Times Twitter @mapleridgetimes
Now contributor Twitter @kbbenning
KAMLOOPS — After being drafted seventh overall by the Tri-City Americans in the 2014 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, Surrey’s Michael Rasmussen was called up to play in his first game in the league last Wednesday (Jan. 21). Rasmussen, who is playing with the Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA), was summoned by the Americans for a road game against the Kamloops Blazers. Despite a 3-1 loss for the visitors, the 15-year-old centre felt comfortable playing in his first WHL game. He was called for a minor penalty but was otherwise held off the scoresheet. “I felt really good. I felt like once I got my first shift in, I was more comfortable and got better as the game went on,” Rasmussen said. “It’s a lot faster. You get used to it after you get a couple of shifts in, but … everyone is stronger.” He admitted there were a few nerves and he was feeling anxious to get on the ice, but the teen said he stayed mentally focused and “played his game.” Tri-City coach Mike Williamson said he’s been trying to find a time to get his first-round draft pick some ice time, and was impressed with what he saw against Kamloops. “I thought he played well,” said Williamson. “He played a fair amount given it was his first game. He didn’t look out of place at all and got better as the game went on.” Williamson, a former Calgary Hitmen coach, said he’s going to look to bring up the six-foot-three-inch Rasmussen when he gets a chance to give him some more exposure to playing in the WHL. “He’s got what looks to be a great upside with his physical attributes,” Williamson added. “You don’t see very many young men his size that skate well or handle the puck or play as well positionally as (he does).” The coach said he expects Rasmussen to get more time with the team next season, and is looking forward to what the
Surrey-raised Michael Rasmussen, seen here in Okanagan Hockey Academy colours, made his WHL debut with Tri-City Americans last Wednesday. (Photo: JAMES DEWAR) Semiahmoo Minor Hockey product can bring to the Americans over the coming years. “I think the transition is going to be smooth for him,” Williamson said. “Coming in, it’s always a big jump to play in the Western Hockey League, but his skill attributes, his hockey sense and (his) two-way game are going to help him be a contributor right away.” Malcolm Cameron, Rasmussen’s coach at the Okanagan Hockey Academy, said he has all the tools to become a top-six forward in the WHL. “(Rasmussen has) all of the physical attributes to be a successful player in the Western League. There’s no question. He’s got size, he’s got strength, he’s going to fill out to be a very, very big man,” Cameron said. Cameron, a former WHL head coach with Regina Pats, said he preached mental preparation to his players who get called up,

and that it is the key difference to playing at a higher level. “A lot of these kids coming out of bantam hockey, they’re so much bigger, stronger and faster than their peer group,” Cameron said. “But when they get to junior hockey, they’re going to be playing against 19- and 20-year-olds who are obviously considerably more experienced, stronger and all of those things.” Rasmussen has a high hockey IQ and has become a very good 200-foot player, he added. With OHA, Rasmussen has tallied 45 points in 36 games and is the fifth player from the academy to get a WHL call-up this season. Another Surreyite, defenseman Parker Wotherspoon, has played for Tri-City for parts of three seasons. The Cloverdale product has 29 points in 49 games for the Americans this season.
MAPLE RIDGE — For Jon Morrison, the pressure of being a hockey team’s last line of defence, and speaking in front of a congregation of more than 600 people mirror one another. The hockey goaltenderturned-pastor is also a published author, with his recently written book Clear Minds Dirty Feet available on Amazon. Morrison is one Jon Morrison of the pastors at Maple Ridge Baptist Church. This past spring, he was hired by the church to be the primary teacher/preacher. But his personal history in Maple Ridge dates back much further. He played goal for the Junior B Ridge Meadows Flames during the 1998/99 season, before graduating to the B.C. Junior Hockey League (junior A) ranks, tending the cage for the Surrey Eagles and Coquitlam Express, respectively. His journey is no different than any other hockey playing kid in Canada. “I’ve always wanted to be in the NHL,” said Morrison, 33. “I dreamt of being the first Canuck to hoist the Stanley Cup.” Morrison’s junior career ended at 20, and that’s when he hung up the goaltender gear for good. “My last game of junior was the last time I played goalie,” he said. “I haven’t played goalie for 13 years.” Back then, Morrison was well aware of his limitations, especially in the BCHL: “I really wanted to play NCAA but God had different plans for me.” When fans watch junior hockey, they should realize that the majority of players aren’t going to make it all the way to the

NHL, Morrison said. “We end up (working) in banks, and in trades, or churches,” Morrison said. “How many people think, ‘Oh that guy is going to end up as a pastor, one day.’ From goal pads to pastor is kind of an interesting route.” On the ice, Morrison had an opportunity to play with and against some elite players, especially with the Eagles and Express. The last junior player to score against him was former Vancouver Canuck Jeff Tambellini, then with the Chilliwack Chiefs. Morrison became friends with former Express star David Jones, who now plays for the Calgary Flames. It was in Grade 9 when church went from being boring to having a deeper meaning for Morrison. “I started to ask the big questions like, ‘Why am I here?’‘What’s my purpose in life?’ ‘Is there a God?’ ‘What do I do with the science thing?’ ‘If there is a God, why is there so much suffering?’” Morrison said. Those questions led Morrison to Oxford University in England, where he studied
KIDS & ADULTS
theology and philosophy for a year while playing forward for Oxford’s hockey team. Looking back, Morrison said his strong faith during his hockey career had a somewhat polarizing effect on his teammates. “Publicly, they (his teammates) would be hostile or perhaps they wouldn’t understand why it was important to me,” Morrison said. “But privately, I would often get asked to come to the back of the bus to talk to guys if they had a crisis in their family, or even if they were wondering about scholarships or the pressures of hockey they would come and talk to me. It was kind of like I could be the pastor of the team.” God was a real source of strength for Morrison during those days he said, adding that he also “grew up a lot then, too.” “I think hockey molded me to be a pastor,” Morrison said. “When you’re a goalie, like a pastor, you get a lot of attention – all of your mistakes get recorded, everyone has an opinion about you - and it prepared me for pressure situations, too. It develops character. Not all hockey players are going to make the NHL, but they’re learning life skills for wherever they end up as a career.” Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Times

LR4
Go Anywhere in Comfort BY DAVID CHAO
The Land Rover LR4 has earned a reputation as the ultimate all-purpose vehicle for many years, thanks to its go-anywhere capability. The LR4, known as the Discovery in some markets, has sold over 1,100,000 units and won 219 international awards since its introduction in 1989. This illustrates the Land Rover’s tremendous capability and versatility. Able to handle any terrain on the Earth, the LR4 is a true seven-seater and can be arranged in a variety of configurations to carry an assortment of cargo. Land Rover is celebrating 25 years of the Discovery; to commemorate, they have released new special features which further heighten the level of luxury.
Design
The LR4 uses body-on-frame construction which gives it the extra “toughness” often missing in today’s SUVs that are actually more like a tall wagon. This kind of design normally leads to a bouncy ride, but Land Rover tuned the underpinnings to also deliver smooth on-road behaviour that’s second to none in this class. The 2015 LR4 retains Land Rover’s classic squared-off shape - this serves as a reminder to its utilitarian, rugged roots. That’s not to say that Land Rover hasn’t softened the look over time. This year, the LR4 has sophisticated new headlights and a smooth front bumper design. The twopiece asymmetric tailgate is both distinctive and useful, and the panoramic glass roof is pure luxury. Overall, the look is very upscale and the car has aged well. The base model is luxurious inside, but the top-of-therange model is superb from any seating position. There is
also no shortage of options and accessories to outfit a LR4 to your exact preference. The Land Rover is available in three trim levels – base, HSE and HSE LUX. The HSE LUX now comes standard with Windsor Leather seats.
Performance
With ever-tightening fuel economy standards, last year Land Rover replaced the LR4’s 5.0-litre V8 with a supercharged 3.0-litre V6. Power is still respectable at 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, but efficiency has been improved to 14.3L/100km combined. Aiding that improvement is the new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and standard Intelligent Stop/Start system. Already equipped with Land Rover’s rotary gear selector and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the LR4 is now available with Adaptive Cruise Control to make driving easier. This system maintains a consistent gap between the LR4 and the vehicle ahead when the adaptive cruise is “engaged.” While features like cruise control and paddle shifters create a more relaxed motorway experience, the LR4 is still the leader when it comes to mountainous driving. Land Rover offers the choice of a newer single-speed transfer box, or a twin-speed with high and low ranges to tackle the most demanding off-road conditions. The adjustable four-corner air suspension can be optimized to comfortably conquer any terrain by merely turning a dial. Hill Descent Control allows even novice off-road drivers to easily traverse the most demanding trials by holding a slow and steady speed down steep grades. I should point out though; the LR4’s top-heavy design makes it lean in corners when driven fast around turns. However, it does have a comparatively tight turning circle, which is nice for navigating both trails and parking lots.

SPECIAL FEATURE PUBLICATION
Environment
Being an upscale SUV, the LR4 boasts high quality materials and the intuitive and clearly labelled controls provide a nice tactile feel. The cabin is roomy, and with its stadium seating, the LR4 allows each passenger a good view of the outside world. The large windows, especially the panoramic glass roof, create an airy feeling. This open-airy design is still unique to LR4. The LR4 comes standard with five seats, but an optional third row expands capacity to seven. The legroom in the third row is tight, however, so it’s best suited for children. Additions of the advanced infotainment system further improve the in-car experience. Land Rover InControl Apps compliment the existing system and brings the convenience, familiarity and original look and feel of compatible smartphone apps into the LR4. Developed with some of the world’s leading app creators, InControl Apps offer services such as satellite-navigation, media streaming, internet radio and location services. Of course, it also provides easy access to the phone’s contacts, calendar and music library. Many compatible apps already exist, and the range is continually expanding with new content becoming available every time the app updates.
Features
Starting prices for the 2015 Land Rover LR4 range from $59,990 to $72,990. Standard equipment includes heated front seats, heated leather steering wheel, heated windshield, seven-inch colour touchscreen, and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include passive keyless entry, rear climate control, front and rear parking aids, rearview camera, and HDD navigation. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) in the base model are 16.2 city, 12.1 highway and 14.3 combined.

PainfulTruth Matthew Claxton
I
t’s been unseasonably warm a few times this month. For some this means yearning towards getting out in the garden, or longing looks at the jet ski gathering dust in the garage. For me, it means I’ve started dreaming about bike rides. Let’s be clear, I’m not actually some kind of super-committed, hyper-athletic cyclist. My cycling hobby varies between “cheerful enthusiast” and “pathetic couch-bound bicycle-owner.” In 2014, it was much closer to the latter. Towards the end of the year, I started to get the cycling itch again, and daydreams of long rides under sunlit skies began to invade my thoughts. Unfortunately, it’s still January. As I write these words, temperatures are nearly in double digits and sunny. By tomorrow, no doubt it will be raining and hovering around six Celsius again. Add to that the fact that it’s still dark by 5 p.m. and before 8 a.m., and pre- or post-work rides are still hazardous. This leaves two alternatives – the weekend ride, and the indoor ride. The weekend ride really only depends on weather to the extent that it not be snowing. In the past, I’ve ridden in sleet (painful when it smacks into your face) and hail (makes a delightful rattle on the top of a helmet). For a good winter ride, you need at least four things: 1) Gloves, really, really warm and waterproof. 2) Waterproof shoe covers, little neoprene booties that look like they were engineered for the space program 3) A waterproof jacket, and 4) A willingness to let Mother Nature kick the crap out of you. Returning from a relatively nice day in January and February, you can still expect
to find various parts of your body (ie your entire torso) have turned bright red from the cold, your nose is leaking fluids like an elderly Hyundai, and you have a mouthful of grit and road salt. On the plus side, you get to be smug all year towards any fellow cyclists who didn’t start riding until March. Or, you can be like me and find all kinds of chores and other excuses to take up your weekends, so you don’t have to go out in actual weather. If you’re too busy/lazy, the only other option to real cycling is the indoor ride. Many cyclists, more serious and less miserly than myself, buy what are known as “trainers.” A trainer is a device that clamps on to the back wheel of your bike and holds it upright, allowing you to ride without going anywhere. Amazingly, there is no Sisyphus brand, yet. There are also rollers. These are conveyerbelt dealies on which your bike sits, sans any clamps. I’m a fan of the device, mostly the many videos you can find online of people slipping off and crashing into their bedroom walls. That leaves the other option, the stationary bike. Stationary bikes are not that much fun. My strata has a couple in its small gym; one of them has an uncomfortable seat, the other an excruciating seat. The guys at the factory seem to have decided that if it was more comfortable than a cheese grater, it was good enough. Still, they’re much, much better than nothing. The strata folks even installed little flatscreen TVs on the stationary bikes. I have yet to turn one on. I’m terrified that if I get used to watching TV while riding, I’ll head out on my real bike, absent-mindedly reach for the remote to change the channel and ride straight into a ditch. So for now, I’m just spinning away, staring at a blank black rectangle, desperately trying to get in good enough shape that the first real bike ride of the year won’t actually kill me dead. Matthew Claxton is a columnist with the Langley Advance, a sister paper to the Now.

Farmers’ market president says noise complaints are news to her after council orders later setup time

HOT SHOPS: THE WORKSHOP
WHITE ROCK — Following a formal request from nearby residents, White Rock Farmers’ Market vendors have been ordered by city council to begin setup an hour later than they’re used to. For the past few years, vendors at the market have started setting up their booths in the Miramar Plaza at 7 a.m., two hours prior to the Sunday market’s 9 a.m. start time. But for residents who live in the tower directly above the plaza, that’s simply too early. A letter from the strata of Miramar Tower A presented to council Monday reads, “It is in the opinion of the Strata Council that this is too early and the noise of the set-up is disturbing to the residents of the Miramar Towers.” The strata council requested the set up time be moved to 8 a.m. and suggested the market instead open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sandy VanDeKinder, president of White Rock Farmers’ Market, said it would be a “logistical nightmare” to setup at 8 a.m. for a 9 a.m. start time and urged council to reconsider moving the start time. VanDeKinder claimed they could look at changing times in next year’s iteration but said work has already begun on this year’s and the market would need more time than they had to change times for the coming season. “We would need a year to educate our patrons and vendors as well as time to change promotional material,” she said. “We haven’t been aware of any noise complaints at this time. This would be news to me.” However, White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said there had indeed been complaints over the past few years and

while he admitted it was a great social event and opportunity for citizens to buy fresh local goods, the impact on citizens has to be considered. “There’s a lot of pluses for it but we have to recognize it is in the middle of a built up area,” he said. The strata also took issue with the closure of Russell Avenue during market hours, as part of the market spills out onto the street itself. Citing concerns about resident and guest access, the strata suggested vendors be relocated elsewhere around the plaza, leaving access to the towers open from Russell Avenue. While council voted to move the start of the setup time to 8 a.m. as requested by the strata, they referred the issue of Russell Avenue’s closure to staff to explore other options. Coun. Lynne Sinclair said with four months to go before the start of the 2015 summer market, there should still be plenty of time to prepare vendors and residents for a time change. Coun. David Chesney excused himself from voting due to his involvement with the market, while Coun. Helen Fathers, the market’s operation manager, was not present. White Rock Farmers’ Market is set to kick off for the season on May 24.
